And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and lodge there: wash your feet, and in the morning you shall go on your way. And they said: No, but we will abide in the street. Gen. 19:2
He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come into his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate: Gen. 19:3
And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither, that we may know them: Gen. 19:5
I have two daughters who, as yet, have not known man; I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof. Gen. 19:8

And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door. Gen. 19:10
And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city: Gen. 19:12
So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest. Gen. 19:14
And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city. Gen. 19:15
And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thy self in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed. Gen. 19:17
Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die. Gen. 19:19
There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live? Gen. 19:20
And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken. Gen. 19:21
Make haste, and be saved there: because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor. Gen. 19:22
And Abraham got up early in the morning, and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord: Gen. 19:27
And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him (for he was afraid to stay in Segor) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him. Gen. 19:30
And the elder said to the younger: Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth. Gen. 19:31
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in, and lay with her father: but he perceived not, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up. Gen. 19:33
They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up. Gen. 19:35
¤ Abraham removed from thence to the south country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara. Gen. 20:1
And God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and he said to him: Lo thou shalt die for the woman that thou hast taken: for she hath a husband. Gen. 20:3
Did not he say to me: She is my sister: and she say, He is my brother? in the simplicity of my heart, and cleanness of my hands have I done this. Gen. 20:5
And Abimelech forthwith rising up in the night, called all his servants: and spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were exceedingly afraid. Gen. 20:8
And Abimelech called also for Abraham, and said to him: What hast thou done to us? what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done to us what thou oughtest not to do. Gen. 20:9
Abraham answered: I thought with myself, saying: Perhaps there is not the fear of God in this place: and they will kill me for the sake of my wife: Gen. 20:11
And after God brought me out of my father's house, I said to her: Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy brother. Gen. 20:13
And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her. Gen. 21:2
And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age? Gen. 21:7
And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Gen. 21:12
So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee. Gen. 21:14
And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there. Gen. 21:15
And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer. Gen. 21:20
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. Gen. 21:21
At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army, said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost. Gen. 21:22
And Abimelech and Phicol, the general of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal. Gen. 21:33
And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days. Gen. 21:34
So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass, and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to the place which God had commanded him. Gen. 22:3
And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together, Gen. 22:6
And they came to the place which God had shewn him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it; and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood. Gen. 22:9
And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon, even to this day, it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see. Gen. 22:14
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice. Gen. 22:18
And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her. Gen. 23:2
My lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre. Gen. 23:6
That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: For as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place. Gen. 23:9
Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying: Gen. 23:10
Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein; in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead. Gen. 23:11
And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give money for the field; take it, and so will I bury my dead in it. Gen. 23:13
And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver, of common current money. Gen. 23:16
And the field that before was Ephron's, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof, in all its limits round about, Gen. 23:17
Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city. Gen. 23:18
And so Abraham buried Sara, his wife, in the double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 23:19
And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth. Gen. 23:20
¤ Now Abraham was old, and advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed him in all things. Gen. 24:1
And when he had made the camels lie down without the town, near a well of water, in the evening, at the time when women are wont to come out to draw water, he said: Gen. 24:11
And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father's house to lodge? Gen. 24:23
And she said, moreover, to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in. Gen. 24:25
Then the maid ran, and told in her mother's house all that she had heard. Gen. 24:28
And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well. Gen. 24:29
And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying, Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water, Gen. 24:30
And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels. Gen. 24:31
And Sara, my master's wife, hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had. Gen. 24:36
And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell: Gen. 24:37
The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house. Gen. 24:40
And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master. Gen. 24:54
At the same time, Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country: Gen. 24:62
And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off. Gen. 24:63
And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people. Gen. 25:8
And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre, Gen. 25:9
And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren. Gen. 25:18
But the children struggled in her womb, and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord. Gen. 25:22
And he answering, said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger. Gen. 25:23
And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb. Gen. 25:24
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand: and therefore he was called Jacob. Gen. 25:25
And when they were grown up, Esau became a skilful hunter, and a husbandman: but Jacob, a plain man, dwelt in tents. Gen. 25:27
¤ And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestines, to Gerara. Gen. 26:1
And the Lord appeared to him, and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee. Gen. 26:2
And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfil the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father. Gen. 26:3
And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Gen. 26:4
So Isaac abode in Gerara. Gen. 26:6
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. Gen. 26:12
And they digged in the torrent, and found living water: Gen. 26:19
Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home. Gen. 26:31
Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die. Gen. 27:7
Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die. Gen. 27:10
Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son? Gen. 27:18
And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way: Gen. 27:20
And brought in to his father meats, made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son's venison; that thy soul may bless me. Gen. 27:31
Esau having heard his father's words, roared out with a great cry; and, being in a consternation, said: Bless me also, my father. Gen. 27:34
Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above, Gen. 27:39
Esau therefore always hated Jacob, for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him; and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning for my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob. Gen. 27:41
And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day? Gen. 27:45
And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. Gen. 28:11
And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it. Gen. 28:12
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed, all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED. Gen. 28:14
And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. Gen. 28:16
And Jacob arising in the morning, took the stone which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it. Gen. 28:18
And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way, by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, Gen. 28:20
¤ Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country. Gen. 29:1
And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone. Gen. 29:2
He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold, Rachel, his daughter, cometh with his flock. Gen. 29:6
And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father. Gen. 29:12
And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel, thy younger daughter. Gen. 29:18
And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. Gen. 29:21
And at night he brought in Lia, his daughter, to him, Gen. 29:23
Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom, when morning was come he saw it was Lia. Gen. 29:24
Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first. Gen. 29:26
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
And she gave him Bala in marriage: who, Gen. 30:4
When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son. Gen. 30:5
And Ruben going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son's mandrakes. Gen. 30:14
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
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
But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands. Gen. 30:29
And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane-trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole, remained green: and by this means the colour was divers. Gen. 30:37
And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out; that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive. Gen. 30:38
And it came to pass, that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled. Gen. 30:39
And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams; and all the white and the black were Laban's, and the rest were Jacob's, when the flocks were separated one from the other. Gen. 30:40
So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them. Gen. 30:41
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 took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac, his father, to the land of Chanaan. Gen. 31:18
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad. Gen. 31:23
And he saw in a dream God, saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob. Gen. 31:24
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he, with his brethren, had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad. Gen. 31:25
It is in my power to return thee evil; but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob. Gen. 31:29
She, in haste, hid the idols under the camel's furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing, Gen. 31:34
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
And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me, Gen. 31:36
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
If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth. Gen. 31:50
And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there: Gen. 31:54
But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place. Gen. 31:55
I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight. Gen. 32:5
Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies, Gen. 32:7
In like manner he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him. Gen. 32:19
So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp. Gen. 32:21
Jacob asked him: Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place. Gen. 32:29
Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank. Gen. 32:32
And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last. Gen. 33:2
Lia also, with her children, came near and bowed down in like manner; and last of all, Joseph and Rachel bowed down. Gen. 33:7
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 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
And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town. Gen. 33:18
And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem, for a hundred lambs. Gen. 33:19
And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin. Gen. 34:2
But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back. Gen. 34:5
Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob's daughter. Gen. 34:7
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
But in this we may be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised: Gen. 34:15
And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required: for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house. Gen. 34:19
These men are peaceable, and are willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours. Gen. 34:21
And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours; only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people. Gen. 34:23
And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape. Gen. 34:27
And they took their sheep, and their herds, and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in their fields. Gen. 34:28
¤ In the mean time God said to Jacob: Arise and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau, thy brother. Gen. 35:1
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God; who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompanied me in my journey. Gen. 35:3
So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem. Gen. 35:4
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him. Gen. 35:6
But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink-offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon: Gen. 35:14
And going forth from thence, he came in the spring time to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail, Gen. 35:16
By reason of her hard labour, she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also. Gen. 35:17
So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, that is Bethlehem. Gen. 35:19
And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. Gen. 35:22
The sons of Zelpha, Lia's handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria. Gen. 35:26
And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned. Gen. 35:27
Oolibama bore Jehus, and Ihelon, and Core. These are the sons of Esau, that were born to him in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 36:5
And Esau took his wives, and his sons and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and all that he was able to acquire in the land of Chanaan: and went into another country, and departed from his brother Jacob. Gen. 36:6
For they were exceeding rich, and could not dwell together: neither was the land in which they sojourned able to bear them, for the multitude of their flocks. Gen. 36:7
And Esau dwelt in mount Seir: he is Edom. Gen. 36:8
And these are the generations of Esau, the father of Edom, in mount Seir. Gen. 36:9
Duke Core, duke Gatham, duke Amalech: these are the sons of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom, and these the sons of Ada. Gen. 36:16
And these were the sons of Rahuel, the son of Esau: duke Nahath, duke Zara, duke Samma, duke Meza. And these are the dukes of Rahuel, in the land of Edom: these the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau. Gen. 36:17
And Dison, and Eser, and Disan. These are dukes of the Horrites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom. Gen. 36:21
And these the sons of Sebeon: Aia and Ana. This is Ana that found the hot waters in the wilderness, when he fed the asses of Sebeon, his father: Gen. 36:24
Duke Dison, duke Eser, duke Disan: these were dukes of the Horrites that ruled in the land of Seir. Gen. 36:30
And the kings that ruled in the land of Edom, before the children of Israel had a king, were these: Gen. 36:31
And Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zara, of Bosra, reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:33
And when Jobab was dead, Husam, of the land of the Themanites, reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:34
And after his death, Adad, the son of Badad, reigned in his stead, who defeated the Madianites in the country of Moab; and the name of his city was Avith. Gen. 36:35
And when Adad was dead, there reigned in his stead, Semla, of Masreca. Gen. 36:36
And he being dead, Saul, of the river Rohoboth, reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:37
This man also being dead, Adar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Phau: and his wife was called Meetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezaab. Gen. 36:39
And these are the names of the dukes of Esau in their kindreds, and places, and callings: duke Thamna, duke Alva, duke Jetheth, Gen. 36:40
Duke Magdiel, duke Hiram: these are the dukes of Edom dwelling in the land of their government; the same is Esau, the father of the Edomites. Gen. 36:43
¤ And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan, wherein his father sojourned. Gen. 37:1
Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours. Gen. 37:3
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 his brethren abode in Sechem, feeding their father's flocks, Gen. 37:12
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
And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought. Gen. 37:15
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
Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father. Gen. 37:22
And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed: Gen. 37:31
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
The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers. Gen. 37:36
¤ At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras. Gen. 38:1
And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her. Gen. 38:2
And Her, the first born of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him. Gen. 38:7
Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. Gen. 38:8
He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother's wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother's name. Gen. 38:9
Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter-in-law: Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way, and dwelt in her father's house. Gen. 38:11
And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him. Gen. 38:14
Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived. Gen. 38:18
Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place, Gen. 38:21
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
And when she was ready to be brought to bed, there appeared twins in her womb: and in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, whereon the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying: Gen. 38:27
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house: Gen. 39:2
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand. Gen. 39:3
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him: Gen. 39:4
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home and in the fields. Gen. 39:5
But he in no wise consenting to that wicked act said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house: Gen. 39:8
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife; how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God? Gen. 39:9
And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out. Gen. 39:12
And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded, Gen. 39:13
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
But the Lord was with Joseph, and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison: Gen. 39:21
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done, was under him. Gen. 39:22
He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner. Gen. 40:3
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody. Gen. 40:4
And when Joseph was come into them in the morning, and saw them sad, Gen. 40:6
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
Only remember me when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison: Gen. 40:14
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
Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places. Gen. 41:2
Other seven also came up out of the river, ill-favoured, and lean fleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places: Gen. 41:3
Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come. Gen. 41:11
Forthwith at the king's command Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him: and changing his apparel brought him in to him. Gen. 41:14
And seven kine came up out of the river, exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture. Gen. 41:18
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
Which shall be fulfilled in this order. Gen. 41:28
Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt: Gen. 41:29
That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up, under Pharao's hands, and be reserved in the cities. Gen. 41:35
And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity. Gen. 41:36
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 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
And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue the saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:45
And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city. Gen. 41:48
And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty. Gen. 41:52
Now when the seven years of plenty that had been in Egypt were passed: Gen. 41:53
The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:54
And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also. Gen. 41:56
¤ And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless? Gen. 42:1
I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: Go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want. Gen. 42:2
So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt: Gen. 42:3
Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey. Gen. 42:4
And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 42:5
And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him, Gen. 42:6
But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living. Gen. 42:13
Send one of you to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you are spies. Gen. 42:16
So he put them in prison three days. Gen. 42:17
If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways, and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses. Gen. 42:19
And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man's money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so. Gen. 42:25
And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack's mouth, Gen. 42:27
And said to his brethren: My money is given me again; behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us? Gen. 42:28
And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying: Gen. 42:29
We are twelve brethren born of one father: one is not living, the youngest is with our father in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 42:32
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
When they had told this, they poured out their corn, and every man found his money tied in the mouth of his sack: and all being astonished together, Gen. 42:35
Their father Jacob said: You have made me to be without children: Joseph is not living, Simeon is kept in bonds, and Benjamin you will take away: all these evils are fallen upon me. Gen. 42:36
But he said: My son shall not go down with you: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to hell. Gen. 42:38
¤ In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land. Gen. 43:1
Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery, in that you told him you had also another brother. Gen. 43:6
But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you? Gen. 43:7
Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, and almonds. Gen. 43:11
And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake. Gen. 43:12
And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon. Gen. 43:16
And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses. Gen. 43:18
And when we had bought, and were come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight. Gen. 43:21
And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags. Gen. 43:22
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
Then Joseph came in to his house, and they offered him the presents, holding them in their hands; and they bowed down with their face to the ground. Gen. 43:26
But he courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living? Gen. 43:27
And they answered: Thy servant our father, is in health; he is yet living. And bowing themselves, they made obeisance to him. Gen. 43:28
¤ And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack. Gen. 44:1
And in the mouth of the younger's sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done. Gen. 44:2
The cup which you have stolen, is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing. Gen. 44:5
The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord's house, gold or silver? Gen. 44:8
Which when he had searched, beginning at the eldest, and ending at the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin's sack. Gen. 44:12
And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph (for he was not yet gone out of the place) and they all together fell down before him on the ground. Gen. 44:14
And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining. Gen. 44:15
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 we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead; and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly. Gen. 44:20
If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. Gen. 44:29
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
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 thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast. Gen. 45:10
You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me. Gen. 45:13
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck. Gen. 45:14
And it was heard, and the fame was spread abroad in the king's court: The brethren of Joseph are come; and Pharao with all his family was glad. Gen. 45:16
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way. Gen. 45:24
And they told him, saying: Joseph, thy son, is living; and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them. Gen. 45:26
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
And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath: and his sons took him up, with their children and wives in the wagons, which Pharao had sent to carry the old man, Gen. 46:5
And all that he had in the land of Chanaan: and he came into Egypt with all his seed; Gen. 46:6
The sons of Juda: Her and Onan, and Sela, and Phares and Zara. And Her and Onan died in the land of Chanaan. And sons were born to Phares: Hesron and Hamul. Gen. 46:12
These are the sons of Lia, whom she bore in Mesopotamia of Syria, with Dina, his daughter. All the souls of her sons and daughters, thirty-three. Gen. 46:15
And sons were born to Joseph, in the land of Egypt, whom Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis, bore him: Manasses and Ephraim. Gen. 46:20
And the sons of Joseph, that were born to him in the land of Egypt, two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, that entered into Egypt, were seventy. Gen. 46:27
And he sent Juda before him to Joseph, to tell him; and that he should meet him in Gessen. Gen. 46:28
And when he was come thither, Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet his father in the same place: and seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and embracing him, wept. Gen. 46:29
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
You shall answer: We, thy servants, are shepherds, from our infancy until now, both we and our fathers. And this you shall say, that you may dwell in the land of Gessen, because the Egyptians have all shepherds in abomination. Gen. 46:34
¤ Then Joseph went in and told Pharao, saying: My father and brethren, their sheep and their herds, and all that they possess, are come out of the land of Chanaan: and behold they stay in the land of Gessen. Gen. 47:1
We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen. Gen. 47:4
The land of Egypt is before thee: and make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle. Gen. 47:6
After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him. Gen. 47:7
But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded. Gen. 47:11
For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land, more especially of Egypt and Chanaan; Gen. 47:13
Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it in to the king's treasure. Gen. 47:14
And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money? Gen. 47:15
And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses: and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle. Gen. 47:17
And they answered: our life is in thy hand; only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king. Gen. 47:25
From that time unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the king, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant. Gen. 47:26
So Israel dwelt in Egypt, that is, in the land of Gessen, and possessed it; and grew, and was multiplied exceedingly. Gen. 47:27
And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years. Gen. 47:28
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 when Joseph was come in to him, he said: God almighty appeared to me at Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, and he blessed me, Gen. 48:3
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
But the rest whom thou shalt have after them, shall be thine, and shall be called by the name of their brethren in their possessions. Gen. 48:6
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 Jacob blessed the sons of Joseph, and said: God, in whose sight my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, God that feedeth me from my youth until this day: Gen. 48:15
And he blessed them at that time, saying: In thee shall Israel be blessed, and it shall be said: God do to thee as to Ephraim, and as to Manasses. And he set Ephraim before Manasses. Gen. 48:20
¤ 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
Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow; excelling in gifts, greater in command. Gen. 49:3
Let not my soul go into their counsel, nor my glory be in their assembly: because in their fury they slew a man, and in their self-will they undermined a wall. Gen. 49:6
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
Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. He shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape. Gen. 49:11
Zabulon shall dwell on the seashore, and in the road of ships, reaching as far as Sidon. Gen. 49:13
Dan shall judge his people like another tribe in Israel. Gen. 49:16
Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse's heels, that his rider may fall backward. Gen. 49:17
Benjamin a ravenous wolf, in the morning shall eat the prey, and in the evening shall divide the spoil. Gen. 49:27
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
Over against Mambre, in the land of Chanaan, which Abraham bought together with the field, of Ephron the Hethite, for a possession to bury in. Gen. 49:30
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
And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen. Gen. 50:8
He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company. Gen. 50:9
And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a burying place, of Ephron, the Hethite, over against Mambre. Gen. 50:13
And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father. Gen. 50:14
And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father's house; and lived a hundred and ten years. Gen. 50:22
And he died, being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed, he was laid in a coffin in Egypt. Gen. 50:26
‡ ¤ These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt with Jacob: they went in every man with his household: Ex. 1:1
And all the souls that came out of Jacob's thigh, were seventy: but Joseph was in Egypt. Ex. 1:5
In the mean time there arose a new king over Egypt, that knew not Joseph: Ex. 1:8
And they made their life bitter with hard works in clay and brick, and with all manner of service, wherewith they were overcharged in the works of the earth. Ex. 1:14
They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skilful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them. Ex. 1:19
And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river's brink, Ex. 2:3
And behold the daughter of Pharao came down to wash herself in the river: and her maids walked by the river's brink. And when she saw the basket in the sedges she sent one of her maids for it: and when it was brought, Ex. 2:5
In those days, after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews, his brethren. Ex. 2:11
And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. Ex. 2:12
And Pharao heard of this word, and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well. Ex. 2:15
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
¤ Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro, his father in law, the priest of Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb. Ex. 3:1
And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire, and was not burnt. Ex. 3:2
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
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 they shall hear thy voice; and thou shalt go in, thou and the ancients of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews hath called us; we will go three days' journey into the wilderness, to sacrifice unto the Lord our God. Ex. 3:18
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 every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is in her house, vessels of silver and of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them on your sons and daughters, and shall spoil Egypt. Ex. 3:22
Then he said to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He answered: A rod. Ex. 4:2
Go therefore, and I will be in thy mouth; and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak. Ex. 4:12
Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth: and I will be in thy mouth, and in his mouth, and will shew you what you must do. Ex. 4:15
He shall speak in thy stead to the people, and shall be thy mouth: but thou shalt be to him in those things that pertain to God. Ex. 4:16
And take this rod in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt do the signs. Ex. 4:17
Moses went his way, and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him; I will go and return to my brethren into Egypt, that I may see if they be yet alive. And Jethro said to him: Go in peace. Ex. 4:18
And the Lord said to Moses, in Madian: Go, and return into Egypt; for they are all dead that sought thy life. Ex. 4:19

And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go. Ex. 4:21
And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him. Ex. 4:24
And the Lord said to Aaron: Go into the desert to meet Moses. And he went forth to meet him in the mountain of God, and kissed him. Ex. 4:27
¤ After these things, Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go, that they may sacrifice to me in the desert. Ex. 5:1
And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day. Ex. 5:19
For since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them. Ex. 5:23
Go in, and speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. Ex. 6:11
These are they that speak to Pharao, king of Egypt, in order to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron, Ex. 6:27
In the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt. Ex. 6:28
But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. Ex. 7:3
So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao and his servants, and it was turned into a serpent. Ex. 7:10
And Pharao called the wise men and the magicians; and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets, did in like manner. Ex. 7:11
Go to him in the morning, behold he will go out to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meet him on the bank of the river: and thou shalt take in thy hand the rod that was turned into a serpent. Ex. 7:15
And thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to thee, saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and hitherto thou wouldst not hear. Ex. 7:16
Thus therefore saith the Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold I will strike with the rod, that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it shall be turned into blood. Ex. 7:17
And the fishes that are in the river, shall die, and the waters shall be corrupted, and the Egyptians shall be afflicted when they drink the water of the river. Ex. 7:18
The Lord also said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Take thy rod; and stretch forth thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and streams and pools, and all the ponds of waters, that they may be turned into blood: and let blood be in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone. Ex. 7:19
And the fishes that were in the river died; and the river corrupted, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river, and there was blood in all the land of Egypt. Ex. 7:21
And the magicians of the Egyptians with their enchantments did in like manner; and Pharao's heart was hardened, neither did he hear them, as the Lord had commanded. Ex. 7:22
¤ And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me. Ex. 8:1
And the frogs shall come in to thee, and to thy people, and to all thy servants. Ex. 8:4
And the magicians also, by their enchantments, did in like manner, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt. Ex. 8:7
And Moses said to Pharao: Set me a time when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs may be driven away from thee and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people; and may remain only in the river. Ex. 8:9
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people; and shall remain only in the river. Ex. 8:11
And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron: Stretch forth thy rod, and strike the dust of the earth; and may there be sciniphs in all the land of Egypt. Ex. 8:16
And the magicians with their enchantments practised in like manner, to bring forth sciniphs, and they could not: and there were sciniphs as well on men as on beasts. Ex. 8:18
But if thou wilt not let them go, behold I will send in upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy houses, all kind of flies: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with flies of divers kinds, and the whole land wherein they shall be. Ex. 8:21
And I will make the land of Gessen, wherein my people is, wonderful in that day, so that flies shall not be there: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. Ex. 8:22
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go and sacrifice to your God in this land. Ex. 8:25
And Moses said: It cannot be so: for we shall sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God: now if we kill those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us. Ex. 8:26
And Pharao said: I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness, but go no farther: pray for me. Ex. 8:28
And Moses said: I will go out from thee, and will pray to the Lord: and the flies shall depart from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people to morrow: but do not deceive any more, in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. Ex. 8:29

And they took ashes out of the chimney, and stood before Pharao, and Moses sprinkled it in the air; and there came boils with swelling blains in men and beasts. Ex. 9:10
Neither could the magicians stand before Moses, for the boils that were upon them, and in all the land of Egypt. Ex. 9:11
And the Lord said to Moses: Arise in the morning, and stand before Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go to sacrifice to me. Ex. 9:13
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayst know that there is none like me in all the earth. Ex. 9:14
And therefore have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and my name may be spoken of throughout all the earth. Ex. 9:16
Behold I will cause it to rain to morrow at this same hour, an exceeding great hail; such as hath not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, until this present time. Ex. 9:18
Send therefore now presently, and gather together thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for men and beasts, and all things that shall be found abroad, and not gathered together out of the fields which the hail shall fall upon, shall die. Ex. 9:19
But he that regarded not the word of the Lord, left his servants, and his cattle in the fields. Ex. 9:21
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand towards heaven, that there may be hail in the whole land of Egypt upon men, and upon beasts, and upon every herb of the field in the land of Egypt. Ex. 9:22
And the hail and fire mixed with it drove on together: and it was of so great bigness, as never before was seen in the whole land of Egypt since that nation was founded. Ex. 9:24
And the hail destroyed through all the land of Egypt all things that were in the fields, both man and beast: and the hail smote every herb of the field, and it broke every tree of the country. Ex. 9:25
Only in the land of Gessen, where the children of Israel were, the hail fell not. Ex. 9:26
¤ And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants: that I may work these my signs in him, Ex. 10:1
And thou mayst tell in the ears of thy sons, and of thy grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst them: and you may know that I am the Lord. Ex. 10:2
Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me. Ex. 10:3
But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring in to-morrow the locusts into thy coasts; Ex. 10:4
To cover the face of the earth, that nothing thereof may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon all the trees that spring in the fields. Ex. 10:5
And they came up over the whole land of Egypt; and rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians, innumerable, the like as had not been before that time, nor shall be hereafter. Ex. 10:14
And they covered the whole face of the earth, wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on the trees, which the hail had left; and there remained not any thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth, in all Egypt. Ex. 10:15
Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. Ex. 10:16
And he made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt. Ex. 10:19
And Moses stretched forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days. Ex. 10:22
And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight, thou shalt die. Ex. 10:28

And every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharao who sitteth on his throne, even to the firstborn of the handmaid that is at the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts. Ex. 11:5
And there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as neither hath been before, nor shall be hereafter. Ex. 11:6
And he went out from Pharao exceeding angry. But the Lord said to Moses: Pharao will not hear you, that many signs may be done in the land of Egypt. Ex. 11:9
¤ And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: Ex. 12:1
This month shall be to you the beginning of months; it shall be the first in the months of the year. Ex. 12:2

His sons, were Namuel and Dathan and Abiron. These are Dathan and Abiron the princes of the people, that rose against Moses and Aaron in the sedition of Core, when they rebelled against the Lord: Num. 26:9
The sons of Juda, Her and Onan, who both died in the land of Chanaan. Num. 26:19
These are the sons of Joseph by their families. The sons of Benjamin in their kindreds: Bela, of whom is the family of the Belaites: Asbel, of whom is the family of the Asbelites: Ahiram, of whom is the family of the Ahiramites: Num. 26:38

Among whom there was not one of them that were numbered before by Moses and Aaron in the desert of Sinai. Num. 26:64
For the Lord had foretold that they should die in the wilderness. And none remained of them, but Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun. Num. 26:65
Our father died in the desert, and was not in the sedition, that was raised against the Lord under Core, but he died in his own sin: and he had no male children. Why is his name taken away out of his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father. Num. 27:3
The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father's kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance. Num. 27:6
Because you offended me in the desert of Sin in the contradiction of the multitude, neither would you sanctify me before them at the waters. These are the waters of contradiction in Cades of the desert of Sin. Num. 27:14
And may go out and in before them, and may lead them out, or bring them in: lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without a shepherd. Num. 27:17
And the Lord said to him: take Josue the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and put thy hand upon him. Num. 27:18

Command the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Offer ye my oblation and my bread, and burnt sacrifice of most sweet odour, in their due seasons. Num. 28:2
One you shall offer in the morning, and the other in the evening: Num. 28:4
It is the continual holocaust which you offered in mount Sinai for a most sweet odour of a sacrifice by fire to the Lord. Num. 28:6
And for a libation you shall offer of wine the fourth part of a hin for every lamb in the sanctuary of the Lord. Num. 28:7
And you shall offer the other lamb in like manner in the evening according to all the rites of the morning sacrifice, and of the libations thereof, an oblation of most sweet odour to the Lord. Num. 28:8
And on the sabbath day you shall offer two lambs of a year old without blemish, and two tenths of flour tempered with oil in sacrifice, and the libations, Num. 28:9
And three tenths of flour tempered with oil in sacrifice for every calf: and two tenths of flour tempered with oil for every ram: Num. 28:12
And the tenth of a tenth of flour tempered with oil in sacrifice for every lamb. It is a holocaust of most sweet odour and an offering by fire to the Lord. Num. 28:13
And these shall be the libations of wine that are to be poured out for every victim: Half a hin for every calf, a third for a ram, and a fourth for a lamb. This shall be the holocaust for every month, as they succeed one another in the course of the year. Num. 28:14
And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, shall be the phase of the Lord, Num. 28:16
And in the sacrifices of them three tenths of flour tempered with oil to every calf, two to every ram, Num. 28:28
The tenth of a tenth to every lamb, which in all are seven lambs: a buck goat also, Num. 28:29
One tenth to a lamb, which in all are seven lambs: Num. 29:4
The tenth of a tenth to every lamb, which are in all seven lambs: Num. 29:10
And for their libations three tenths of flour tempered with oil to every calf, being in all thirteen calves: and two tenths to each ram, being two rams, Num. 29:14
And the tenth of a tenth to every lamb, being in all fourteen lambs: Num. 29:15
And the sacrifices and the libations of every one for the calves and for the rams and for the lambs you shall celebrate in right manner: Num. 29:24
These things shall you offer to the Lord in your solemnities: besides your vows and voluntary oblations for holocaust, for sacrifice, for libation, and for victims of peace offerings. Num. 29:39
If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an oath, being in her father's house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow: Num. 30:3
Whatsoever she promised and swore, she shall fulfil in deed. Num. 30:4
If the wife in the house of her husband, hath bound herself by vow and by oath, Num. 30:10
These are the laws which the Lord appointed to Moses between the husband and the wife, between the father and the daughter that is as yet but a girl in age, or that abideth in her father's house. Num. 30:16
Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses: Num. 31:21
And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep. Num. 31:28
Out of the moiety also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftieth head of persons, and of oxen, and asses, and sheep, and of all beasts, and thou shalt give them to the Levites that watch in the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord. Num. 31:30
And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep: Num. 31:36
Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle. Num. 31:42
Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded. Num. 31:47
Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us. Num. 31:50
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds, Num. 31:51
In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions. Num. 31:52
For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own. Num. 31:53
¤ And the sons of Ruben and Gad had many flocks of cattle, and their substance in beasts was infinite. And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle, Num. 32:1
The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle: Num. 32:4
And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan. Num. 32:5
And he swore in his anger, saying: Num. 32:10
And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed. Num. 32:13
For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all. Num. 32:15
And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes of the inhabitants. Num. 32:17
We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad: Num. 32:26
If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in possession. Num. 32:29
But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you. Num. 32:30
And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it. Num. 32:40

And there they camped from Bethsimoth even to Ablesatim in the plains of the Moabites, Num. 33:49
Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: Beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places, Num. 33:52
Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession. Num. 33:53
But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation. Num. 33:55
And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea. Num. 34:5
And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about. Num. 34:12
¤ And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho: Num. 35:1
Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts: Num. 35:3
Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without. Num. 35:5
That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs. Num. 35:7

Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan, Num. 35:14
If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner. Num. 35:17

‡ ¤ These are the words, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold. Dt. 1:1
In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say to them: Dt. 1:3
After that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai, Dt. 1:4
Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say: Dt. 1:5
The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long enough in this mountain: Dt. 1:6
Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them. Dt. 1:8
You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us. Dt. 1:27
The Lord God, who is your leader, himself will fight for you, as he did in Egypt in the sight of all. Dt. 1:30
And in the wilderness (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until you came to this place. Dt. 1:31
Who went before you in the way, and marked out the place, wherein you should pitch your tents, in the night shewing you the way by fire, and in the day by the pillar of a cloud. Dt. 1:33
Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither. Dt. 1:37
But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel. Dt. 1:38
Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it. Dt. 1:39
And the Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma. Dt. 1:44
So you abode in Cadesbarne a long time. Dt. 1:46
And command thou the people, saying: You shall pass by the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Dt. 2:4
The Lord thy God hath blessed thee in every work of thy hands: the Lord thy God dwelling with thee, knoweth thy journey, how thou hast passed through this great wilderness, for forty years, and thou hast wanted nothing. Dt. 2:7
And when we had passed by our brethren the children of Esau, that dwelt in Seir, by the way of the plain from Elath and from Asiongaber, we came to the way that leadeth to the desert of Moab. Dt. 2:8
And the Lord said to me: Fight not against the Moabites, neither go to battle against them: for I will not give thee any of their land, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot in possession. Dt. 2:9
The Horrhites also formerly dwelt in Seir: who being driven out and destroyed, the children of Esau dwelt there, as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave him. Dt. 2:12
It was accounted a land of giants: and giants formerly dwelt in it, whom the Ammonites call Zomzommims, Dt. 2:20
A people great and many, and of tall stature, like the Enacims whom the Lord destroyed before their face: and he made them to dwell in their stead, Dt. 2:21
As he had done in favour of the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, destroying the Horrhites, and delivering their land to them, which they possess to this day. Dt. 2:22
The Hevites also, that dwelt in Haserim as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians: who came out of Cappadocia, and destroyed them and dwelt in their stead. Dt. 2:23
This day will I begin to send the dread and fear of thee upon the nations that dwell under the whole heaven: that when they hear thy name they may fear and tremble, and be in pain like women in travail. Dt. 2:25
As the children of Esau have done, that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, that abide in Ar: until we come to the Jordan, and pass to the land which the Lord our God will give us. Dt. 2:29
From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, a town that is situate in a valley, as far as Galaad. There was not a village or city, that escaped our hands: the Lord our God delivered all unto us: Dt. 2:36
Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade us. Dt. 2:37
¤ Then we turned and went by the way of Basan: and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us with his people to fight in Edrai. Dt. 3:1
And the Lord said to me: Fear him not: because he is delivered into thy hand, with all his people and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou hast done to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon. Dt. 3:2
Wasting all his cities at one time, there was not a town that escaped us: sixty cities, all the country of Argob the kingdom of Og in Basan. Dt. 3:4
All the cities that are situate in the plain, and all the land of Galaad and Basan as far as Selcha and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan. Dt. 3:10
For only Og king of Basan remained of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is shewn, which is in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, being nine cubits long, and four broad after the measure of the cubit of a man's hand. Dt. 3:11
Leaving your wives and children and cattle. For I know you have much cattle, and they must remain in the cities, which I have delivered to you. Dt. 3:19
Lord God, thou hast begun to shew unto thy servant thy greatness, and most mighty hand, for there is no other God either in heaven or earth, that is able to do thy works, or to be compared to thy strength. Dt. 3:24
And we abode in the valley over against the temple of Phogor. Dt. 3:29
¤ And now, O Israel, hear the commandments and judgments which I teach thee: that doing them, thou mayst live, and entering in mayst possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers will give you. Dt. 4:1
You know that I have taught you statutes and justices, as the Lord my God hath commanded me: so shall you do them in the land which you shall possess: Dt. 4:5
And you shall observe, and fulfil them in practice. For this is your wisdom, and understanding in the sight of nations, that hearing all these precepts, they may say: Behold a wise and understanding people, a great nation. Dt. 4:6
From the day in which thou didst stand before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: Call together the people unto me, that they may hear my words, and may learn to fear me all the time that they live on the earth, and may teach their children. Dt. 4:10
And you came to the foot of the mount, which burned even unto heaven: and there was darkness, and a cloud and obscurity in it. Dt. 4:11
And he shewed you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, and the ten words that he wrote in two tables of stone. Dt. 4:13
And he commanded me at that time that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you shall do in the land, that you shall possess. Dt. 4:14
Keep therefore your souls carefully. You saw not any similitude in the day that the Lord God spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire: Dt. 4:15
Or of creeping things, that move on the earth, or of fishes, that abide in the waters under the earth: Dt. 4:18
Behold I die in this land, I shall not pass over the Jordan: you shall pass, and possess the goodly land. Dt. 4:22
If you shall beget sons and grandsons, and abide in the land, and being deceived, make to yourselves any similitude, committing evil before the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath: Dt. 4:25
After all the things aforesaid shall find thee, in the latter time thou shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hear his voice. Dt. 4:30
If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes. Dt. 4:34
To destroy at thy coming very great nations, and stronger than thou art, and to bring thee in, and give thee their land for a possession, as thou seest at this present day. Dt. 4:38
Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other. Dt. 4:39
Bosor in the wilderness, which is situate in the plains of the tribe of Ruben: and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the tribe of Gad: and Golan in Basan, which is in the tribe of Manasses. Dt. 4:43
Beyond the Jordan in the valley over against the temple of Phogor, in the land of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon, whom Moses slew. And the children of Israel coming out of Egypt, Dt. 4:46
¤ And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the ceremonies and judgments, which I speak in your ears this day: learn them, and fulfil them in work. Dt. 5:1
The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. Dt. 5:2
He spoke to us face to face in the mount out of the midst of fire. Dt. 5:4
Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight. Dt. 5:7
Thou shalt not make to thy self a graven thing, nor the likeness of any things, that are in heaven above, or that are in the earth beneath, or that abide in the waters under the earth. Dt. 5:8
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for he shall not be unpunished that taketh his name upon a vain thing. Dt. 5:11
Remember that thou also didst serve in Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out from thence with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm. Therefore hath he commanded thee that thou shouldst observe the sabbath day. Dt. 5:15
Honour thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee. Dt. 5:16
These words the Lord spoke to all the multitude of you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire and the cloud, and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more: and he wrote them in two tables of stone, which he delivered unto me. Dt. 5:22
But stand thou here with me, and I will speak to thee all my commandments, and ceremonies and judgments: which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land, which I will give them for a possession. Dt. 5:31
But you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God hath commanded, that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be long in the land of your possession. Dt. 5:33
¤ These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it: Dt. 6:1
And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart: Dt. 6:6
And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising. Dt. 6:7
And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house. Dt. 6:9
Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth. Dt. 6:15
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation. Dt. 6:16
And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers, Dt. 6:18
Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand. Dt. 6:21
And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight, Dt. 6:22
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers. Dt. 6:23
¤ When the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, which thou art going in to possess, and shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and the Gergezite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art, and stronger than thou: Dt. 7:1
Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people: Dt. 7:7
If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more than I, how shall I be able to destroy them? Dt. 7:17
Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible: Dt. 7:21
He will consume these nations in thy sight by little and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether: lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee. Dt. 7:22
But the Lord thy God shall deliver them in thy sight: and shall slay them until they be utterly destroyed. Dt. 7:23
¤ All the commandments, that I command thee this day, take great care to observe: that you may live, and be multiplied, and going in may possess the land, for which the Lord swore to your fathers. Dt. 8:1
And thou shalt remember all the way through which the Lord thy God hath brought thee for forty years through the desert, to afflict thee and to prove thee, and that the things that were known in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no. Dt. 8:2
He afflicted thee with want, and gave thee manna for thy food, which neither thou nor thy fathers knew: to shew that not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. Dt. 8:3
That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up. Dt. 8:5
That thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and fear him. Dt. 8:6
For the Lord thy God will bring thee into a good land, of brooks and of waters, and of fountains: in the plains of which and the hills deep rivers break out: Dt. 8:7
Lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them, Dt. 8:12
And was thy leader in the great and terrible wilderness, wherein there was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth streams out of the hardest rock, Dt. 8:15
And fed thee in the wilderness with manna which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proved thee, at the last he had mercy on thee, Dt. 8:16
Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved all these things for me. Dt. 8:17
Say not in thy heart, when the Lord thy God shall have destroyed them in thy sight: For my justice hath the Lord brought me in to possess this land, whereas these nations are destroyed for their wickedness. Dt. 9:4
For it is not for thy justices, and the uprightness of thy heart that thou shalt go in to possess their lands: but because they have done wickedly, they are destroyed at thy coming in: and that the Lord might accomplish his word, which he promised by oath to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Dt. 9:5
Know therefore that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this excellent land in possession for thy justices, for thou art a very stiffnecked people. Dt. 9:6
Remember, and forget not how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou camest out of Egypt unto this place, thou hast always strove against the Lord. Dt. 9:7

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

I cast the tables out of my hands, and broke them in your sight. Dt. 9:17
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 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
Lest perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which thou hast brought us, say: The Lord could not bring them into the land that he promised them, and he hated them: therefore he brought them out, that he might kill them in the wilderness, Dt. 9:28
Who are thy people and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out by thy great strength, and in thy stretched out arm. Dt. 9:29
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 may live in it a long time: which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed, a land which floweth with milk and honey. Dt. 11:9

Teach your children that they meditate on them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest on the way, and when thou liest down and risest up. Dt. 11:19
That thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over the earth. Dt. 11:21
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

But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it: Dt. 12:15
Thou mayst not eat in thy towns the tithes of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the firstborn of thy herds and thy cattle, nor any thing that thou vowest, and that thou wilt offer voluntarily, and the firstfruits of thy hands: Dt. 12:17

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

Neither shall there be in thy house a greater bushel and a less. Dt. 25:14
Remember what Amalec did to thee in the way when thou camest out of Egypt: Dt. 25:17
Therefore when the Lord thy God shall give thee rest, and shall have subdued all the nations round about in the land which he hath promised thee: thou shalt blot out his name from under heaven. See thou forget it not. Dt. 25:19
¤ And when thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, and hast conquered it, and dwellest in it: Dt. 26:1
Thou shalt take the first of all thy fruits, and put them in a basket, and shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may be invocated there: Dt. 26:2
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 thou shalt speak thus in the sight of the Lord thy God: The Syrian pursued my father, who went down into Egypt, and sojourned there in a very small number, and grew into a nation great and strong and of an infinite multitude. Dt. 26:5
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 feast in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath given thee, and thy house, thou and the Levite, and the stranger that is with thee. Dt. 26:11
When thou hast made an end of tithing all thy fruits, in the third year of tithes thou shalt give it to the Levite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled: Dt. 26:12
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
I have not eaten of them in my mourning, nor separated them for any uncleanness, nor spent any thing of them in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all things as thou hast commanded me. Dt. 26:14
Thou hast chosen the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways and keep his ceremonies, and precepts, and judgments, and obey his command. Dt. 26:17
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
And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying: Dt. 27:11
Cursed be the man that maketh a graven and molten thing, the abomination of the Lord, the work of the hands of artificers, and shall put it in a secret place: and all the people shall answer and say: Amen. Dt. 27:15
Cursed be he that abideth not in the words of this law, and fulfilleth them not in work: and all the people shall say: Amen. Dt. 27:26
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed in the field. Dt. 28:3
Blessed shalt thou be coming in and going out. Dt. 28:6
The Lord will send forth a blessing upon thy storehouses, and upon all the works of thy hands: and will bless thee in the land that thou shalt receive. Dt. 28:8
The Lord will raise thee up to be a holy people to himself, as he swore to thee: if thou keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. Dt. 28:9
The Lord will open his excellent treasure, the heaven, that it may give rain in due season: and he will bless all the works of thy hands. And thou shalt lend to many nations, and shalt not borrow of any one. Dt. 28:12
Cursed shalt thou be in the city, cursed in the field. Dt. 28:16
Cursed shalt thou be coming in, and cursed going out. Dt. 28:19
May the Lord set the pestilence upon thee, until he consume thee out of the land, which thou shalt go in to possess. Dt. 28:21
And mayst thou grope at midday as the blind is wont to grope in the dark, and not make straight thy ways. And mayst thou at all times suffer wrong, and be oppressed with violence, and mayst thou have no one to deliver thee. Dt. 28:29
May thy ox be slain before thee, and thou not eat thereof. May thy ass be taken away in thy sight, and not restored to thee. May thy sheep be given to thy enemies, and may there be none to help thee. Dt. 28:31
May thy sons and thy daughters be given to another people, thy eyes looking on, and languishing at the sight of them all the day, and may there be no strength in thy hand. Dt. 28:32
May the Lord strike thee with a very sore ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and be thou incurable from the sole of the foot to the top of the head. Dt. 28:35
And thou shalt be lost, as a proverb and a byword to all people, among whom the Lord shall bring thee in. Dt. 28:37
Thou shalt have olive trees in all thy borders, and shalt not be anointed with the oil: for the olives shall fall off and perish. Dt. 28:40
The stranger that liveth with thee in the land, shall rise up over thee, and shall be higher: and thou shalt go down, and be lower. Dt. 28:43
Thou shalt serve thy enemy, whom the Lord will send upon thee, in hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put an iron yoke upon thy neck, till he consume thee. Dt. 28:48
And consume thee in all thy cities, and thy strong and high walls be brought down, wherein thou trustedst in all thy land. Thou shalt be besieged within thy gates in all thy land which the Lord thy God will give thee: Dt. 28:52
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy womb, and the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in the distress and extremity wherewith thy enemy shall oppress thee. Dt. 28:53
The man that is nice among you, and very delicate, shall envy his own brother, and his wife, that lieth in his bosom, Dt. 28:54
So that he will not give them of the flesh of his children, which he shall eat: because he hath nothing else in the siege and the want, wherewith thy enemies shall distress thee within all thy gates. Dt. 28:55
The tender and delicate woman, that could not go upon the ground, nor set down her foot for over much niceness and tenderness, will envy her husband who lieth in her bosom, the flesh of her son, and of her daughter, Dt. 28:56
And the filth of the afterbirths, that come forth from between her thighs, and the children that are born the same hour. For they shall eat them secretly for the want of all things, in the siege and distress, wherewith thy enemy shall oppress thee within thy gates. Dt. 28:57
If thou wilt not keep, and fulfil all the words of this law, that are written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name: that is, The Lord thy God: Dt. 28:58
Moreover the Lord will bring upon thee all the diseases, and plagues, that are not written in the volume of this law till he consume thee: Dt. 28:61
And you shall remain few in number, who before were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou heardst not the voice of the Lord thy God. Dt. 28:62
And as the Lord rejoiced upon you before doing good to you, and multiplying you: so he shall rejoice destroying and bringing you to nought, so that you shall be taken away from the land which thou shalt go in to possess. Dt. 28:63
Neither shalt thou be quiet, even in those nations, nor shall there be any rest for the sole of thy foot. For the Lord will give thee a fearful heart, and languishing eyes, and a soul consumed with pensiveness: Dt. 28:65
In the morning thou shalt say: Who will grant me evening? and at evening: Who will grant me morning? for the fearfulness of thy heart, wherewith thou shalt be terrified, and for those things which thou shalt see with thy eyes. Dt. 28:67
¤ These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb. Dt. 29:1
And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land. Dt. 29:2
Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water: Dt. 29:11
That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee. Dt. 29:12
For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them, Dt. 29:16
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
And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven, Dt. 29:20
And utterly destroy him out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses that are contained in the book of this law and covenant: Dt. 29:21
Burning it with brimstone, and the heat of salt, so that it cannot be sown any more, nor any green thing grow therein, after the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and indignation: Dt. 29:23
Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume: Dt. 29:27
And he hath cast them out of their land, in anger and in wrath, and in very great indignation, and hath thrown them into a strange land, as it is seen this day. Dt. 29:28
And the Lord thy God will make thee abound in all the works of thy hands, in the fruit of thy womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, in the fruitfulness of thy land, and in the plenty of all things. For the Lord will return to rejoice over thee in all good things, as he rejoiced in thy fathers: Dt. 30:9
Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which are written in this law: and return to the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. Dt. 30:10
Nor is it in heaven, that thou shouldst say: Which of us can go up to heaven to bring it unto us, and we may hear and fulfil it in work? Dt. 30:12
But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it. Dt. 30:14
That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess. Dt. 30:16
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 that thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and adhere to him (for he is thy life, and the length of thy days,) that thou mayst dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give it them. Dt. 30:20
And he said to them: I am this day a hundred and twenty years old, I can no longer go out and come in, especially as the Lord also hath said to me: Thou shalt not pass over this Jordan. Dt. 31:2
The Lord thy God then will pass over before thee: he will destroy all these nations in thy sight, and thou shalt possess them: and this Josue shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath spoken. Dt. 31:3
Therefore when the Lord shall have delivered these also to you, you shall do in like manner to them as I have commanded you. Dt. 31:5
And he commanded them, saying: After seven years, in the year of remission, in the feast of tabernacles, Dt. 31:10
When all Israel come together, to appear in the sight of the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou shalt read the words of this law before all Israel, in their hearing. Dt. 31:11
That their children also, who now are ignorant, may hear, and fear the Lord their God, all the days that they live in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it. Dt. 31:13
And the Lord said to Moses: Behold the days of thy death are nigh: call Josue, and stand ye in the tabernacle of the testimony, that I may give him a charge. So Moses and Josue went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony: Dt. 31:14
And the Lord appeared there in the pillar of a cloud, which stood in the entry of the tabernacle. Dt. 31:15
And the Lord said to Moses: Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people rising up will go a fornicating after strange gods in the land, to which it goeth in to dwell: there will they forsake me, and will make void the covenant, which I have made with them, Dt. 31:16
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
Therefore after Moses had wrote the words of this law in a volume, and finished it: Dt. 31:24
Take this book, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God: that it may be there for a testimony against thee. Dt. 31:26
For I know thy obstinacy, and thy most stiff neck. While I am yet living, and going in with you, you have always been rebellious against the Lord: how much more when I shall be dead? Dt. 31:27
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
For I know that, after my death, you will do wickedly, and will quickly turn aside from the way that I have commanded you: and evils shall come upon you in the latter times, when you shall do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him by the works of your hands. Dt. 31:29
Moses therefore spoke, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and finished it even to the end. Dt. 31:30
They have sinned against him, and are none of his children in their filth: they are a wicked and perverse generation. Dt. 32:5
He found him in a desert land, in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: he led him about, and taught him: and he kept him as the apple of his eye. Dt. 32:10
A fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burn even to the lowest hell: and shall devour the earth with her increase, and shall burn the foundations of the mountains. Dt. 32:22
Without, the sword shall lay them waste, and terror within, both the young man and the virgin, the sucking child with the man in years. Dt. 32:25
Are not these things stored up with me, and sealed up in my treasures? Dt. 32:34
Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time, that their foot may slide: the day of destruction is at hand, and the time makes haste to come. Dt. 32:35
And he shall say: Where are their gods, in whom they trusted? Dt. 32:37
Of whose victims they ate the fat, and drank the wine of their drink offerings: let them arise and help you, and protect you in your distress. Dt. 32:38
So Moses came and spoke all the words of this canticle in the ears of the people, and Josue the son of Nun. Dt. 32:44
And he said to them: Set your hearts on all the words, which I testify to you this day: which you shall command your children to observe and to do, and to fulfil all that is written in this law: Dt. 32:46
For they are not commanded you in vain, but that every one should live in them, and that doing them you may continue a long time in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it. Dt. 32:47
Go up into this mountain Abarim, (that is to say, of passages,) unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho: and see the land of Chanaan, which I will deliver to the children of Israel to possess, and die thou in the mountain. Dt. 32:49
When thou art gone up into it thou shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people: Dt. 32:50
Because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel, at the waters of contradiction, in Cades of the desert of Sin: and you did not sanctify me among the children of Israel. Dt. 32:51
And he said: The Lord came from Sinai, and from Seir he rose up to us: he hath appeared from mount Pharan, and with him thousands of saints. In his right hand a fiery law. Dt. 33:2
He hath loved the people, all the saints are in his hand: and they that approach to his feet, shall receive of his doctrine. Dt. 33:3
Let Ruben live, and not die, and be he small in number. Dt. 33:6
This is the blessing of Juda. Hear, O Lord, the voice of Juda, and bring him in unto his people: his hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his enemies. Dt. 33:7
To Levi also he said: Thy perfection, and thy doctrine be to thy holy man, whom thou hast proved in the temptation, and judged at the waters of contradiction: Dt. 33:8
Thy judgments, O Jacob, and thy law, O Israel: they shall put incense in thy wrath and holocaust upon thy altar. Dt. 33:10
And to Benjamin he said: The best beloved of the Lord shall dwell confidently in him: as in a bride chamber shall he abide all the day long, and between his shoulders shall be rest. Dt. 33:12
And of the fruits of the earth, and of the fulness thereof. The blessing of him that appeared in the bush, come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren. Dt. 33:16
And to Zabulon he said: Rejoice, O Zabulon, in thy going out; and Issachar in thy tabernacles. Dt. 33:18
And to Gad he said: Blessed be Gad in his breadth: he hath rested as a lion, and hath seized upon the arm and the top of the head. Dt. 33:20
And he saw his pre-eminence, that in his portion the teacher was laid up: who was with the princes of the people, and did the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel. Dt. 33:21
To Aser also he said: Let Aser be blessed with children, let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. Dt. 33:24
Israel shall dwell in safety, and alone. The eye of Jacob in a land of corn and wine, and the heavens shall be misty with dew. Dt. 33:28
And Moses the servant of the Lord died there, in the land of Moab, by the commandment of the Lord: Dt. 34:5
And he buried him in the valley of the land of Moab over against Phogor: and no man hath known of his sepulchre until this present day. Dt. 34:6
And the children of Israel mourned for him in the plains of Moab thirty days: and the days of their mourning in which they mourned for Moses were ended. Dt. 34:8
And there arose no more a prophet in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, Dt. 34:10
In all the signs and wonders, which he sent by him, to do in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land, Dt. 34:11
Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it. Josu. 1:8
Behold I command thee, take courage, and be strong. Fear not, and be not dismayed: because the Lord thy God is with thee in all things whatsoever thou shalt go to. Josu. 1:9
Prepare you victuals: for after the third day you shall pass over the Jordan, and shall go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you. Josu. 1:11
Your wives, and children; and cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan: but pass you over armed before your brethren all of you that are strong of hand, and fight for them, Josu. 1:14
Until the Lord give rest to your brethren, as he hath given you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them: and so you shall return into the land of your possession, and you shall dwell in it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun. Josu. 1:15
As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee also: only be the Lord thy God with thee, as he was with Moses. Josu. 1:17
And it was told the king of Jericho, and was said: Behold there are men come in hither, by night, of the children of Israel, to spy the land. Josu. 2:2
And at the time of shutting the gate in the dark, they also went out together. I know not whither they are gone: pursue after them quickly, and you will overtake them. Josu. 2:5
We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea, at your going in, when you came out of Egypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon and Og whom you slew. Josu. 2:10
And hearing these things, we were affrighted, and our heart fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us, at your coming in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath. Josu. 2:11
If, when we come into the land, this scarlet cord be a sign, and thou tie it in the window, by which thou hast let us down: and gather together thy father and mother, and brethren, and all thy kindred into thy house. Josu. 2:18
Whosoever shall go out of the door of thy house, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we shall be quit. But the blood of all that shall be with thee in the house, shall light upon our head, if any man touch them. Josu. 2:19
And she answered: As you have spoken, so be it done: and sending them on their way, she hung the scarlet cord in the window. Josu. 2:21
And do thou command the priests, that carry the ark of the covenant, and say to them: When you shall have entered into part of the water of the Jordan, stand in it. Josu. 3:8
And again he said: By this you shall know, that the Lord, the living God, is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy, before your sight, the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also, and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite. Josu. 3:10
And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon a heap. Josu. 3:13
And as soon as they came into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in part of the water, (now the Jordan, it being harvest time, had filled the banks of its channel,) Josu. 3:15
The waters that came down from above stood in one place, and swelling up like a mountain, were seen afar off, from the city that is called Adom, to the place of Sarthan: but those that were beneath, ran down into the sea of the wilderness, (which now is called the Dead Sea) until they wholly failed. Josu. 3:16
And the people marched over against Jericho: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, stood girded upon the dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over, through the channel that was dried up. Josu. 3:17
And command them to take out of the midst of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood, twelve very hard stones, which you shall set in the place of the camp, where you shall pitch your tents this night. Josu. 4:3
And Josue put other twelve stones in the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood that carried the ark of the covenant: and they are there until this present day. Josu. 4:9
Now the priests that carried the ark, stood in the midst of the Jordan, till all things were accomplished, which the Lord had commanded Josue to speak to the people, and Moses had said to him. And the people made haste, and passed over. Josu. 4:10
In that day the Lord magnified Josue in the sight of all Israel, that they should fear him, as they had feared Moses, while he lived. Josu. 4:14
And the people came up out of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Galgal, over against the east side of the city of Jericho. Josu. 4:19
And the twelve stones, which they had taken out of the channel of the Jordan, Josue pitched in Galgal, Josu. 4:20
The Lord your God drying up the waters thereof in your sight, until you passed over: As he had done before in the Red Sea, which he dried up till we passed through: Josu. 4:23
¤ Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan, westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel. Josu. 5:1
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins. Josu. 5:3
Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way: Josu. 5:4
Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert, Josu. 5:5
During the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey. Josu. 5:6
The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way. Josu. 5:7
Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed. Josu. 5:8
And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the plains of Jericho: Josu. 5:10
And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him, holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries? Josu. 5:13
¤ Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come in. Josu. 6:1
And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets. Josu. 6:4
And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand. Josu. 6:5
And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets. Josu. 6:13
And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you: Josu. 6:16
And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab, the harlot, live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent. Josu. 6:17
But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures. Josu. 6:19
So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city, Josu. 6:20
And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also, and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword. Josu. 6:21
And the young men went in, and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also, and all her goods, and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp. Josu. 6:23
But Josue saved Rahab the harlot, and her father's house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying: Josu. 6:25
Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates. Josu. 6:26
And returning, they said to him: Let not all the people go up, but let two or three thousand men go, and destroy the city: why should all the people be troubled in vain, against enemies that are very few? Josu. 7:3
Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The curse is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, till he be destroyed out of thee, that is defiled with this wickedness. Josu. 7:13
And you shall come in the morning, every one by your tribes: and what tribe soever the lot shall find, it shall come by its kindreds, and the kindred by its houses and the house by the men. Josu. 7:14
And whosoever he be that shall be found guilty of this fact, he shall be burnt with fire, with all his substance, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and hath done wickedness in Israel. Josu. 7:15
Josue, therefore, when he rose in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and the tribe of Juda was found. Josu. 7:16
Which being brought by in families, it was found to be the family of Zare. Bringing that also by the houses, he found it to be Zabdi: Josu. 7:17
For I saw among the spoils a scarlet garment, exceeding good, and two hundred sicles of silver, and a golden rule of fifty sicles: and I coveted them, and I took them away, and hid them in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver I covered with the earth that I dug up. Josu. 7:21
Josue therefore sent ministers: who running to his tent, found all hid in the same place, together with the silver. Josu. 7:22
And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night, Josu. 8:3
And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people, Josu. 8:9
And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army, environed with the aid of the fighting men. Josu. 8:10
And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst. Josu. 8:11
And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city: Josu. 8:12
But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley. Josu. 8:13
And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array, toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back. Josu. 8:14
And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out, Josu. 8:17
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee. Josu. 8:18
So all being slain that had pursued after Israel, in his flight to the wilderness, and falling by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city. Josu. 8:24
And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet, until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day. Josu. 8:29
Then Josue built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount Hebal, Josu. 8:30
As Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones, which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings. Josu. 8:31
After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing, and all things that were written in the book of the law. Josu. 8:34
¤ Now when these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains, and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, Josu. 9:1
But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Josue had done to Jericho and Hai: Josu. 9:3
And they went to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him, and to all Israel with him: We are come from a far country, desiring to make peace with you. And the children of Israel answered them, and said: Josu. 9:6
Perhaps you dwell in the land which falls to our lot; if so, we can make no league with you. Josu. 9:7
They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt. Josu. 9:9
And to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon, king of Hesebon, and Og, king of Basan, that was in Astaroth: Josu. 9:10
Behold, these loaves we took hot, when we set out from our houses to come to you, now they are become dry, and broken in pieces by being exceeding old. Josu. 9:12
And they slew them not, because the princes of the multitude had sworn in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the common people murmured against the princes. Josu. 9:18
And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them. Josu. 9:19
But so let them live, as to serve the whole multitude in hewing wood, and bringing in water. As they were speaking these things, Josu. 9:21
Josue called the Gabaonites, and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell very far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us? Josu. 9:22
And now we are in thy hand: deal with us as it seemeth good and right unto thee. Josu. 9:25
And he gave orders in that day, that they should be in the service of all the people, and of the altar of the Lord, hewing wood, and carrying water, until this present time, in the place which the Lord hath chosen. Josu. 9:27
But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon, which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly, and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us. Josu. 10:6
And the Lord troubled them, at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter, in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Bethoron, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda. Josu. 10:10
And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Bethoron, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven, as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones, than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel, Josu. 10:11
Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon. Josu. 10:12
And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day. Josu. 10:13
For the five kings were fled, and had hid themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda. Josu. 10:16
And it was told Josue, that the five kings were found hid in a cave of the city of Maceda. Josu. 10:17
And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands, to shelter themselves in their cities. Josu. 10:19
And all the army returned to Josue, in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health, and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel. Josu. 10:21
The same day Josue took Maceda, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho. Josu. 10:28
And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho. Josu. 10:30
And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna. Josu. 10:32
And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis. Josu. 10:35
Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it. Josu. 10:37
He took it, and destroyed it: the king also thereof, and all the towns round about, he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna, and to their kings, so did he to Dabir, and to the king thereof. Josu. 10:39
And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal. Josu. 10:43
And to the kings of the north, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains over against the south side of Ceneroth, and in the levels and the countries of Dor by the sea side: Josu. 11:2
To the Chanaanites also on the east and on the west, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Jebusite in the mountains: to the Hevite also who dwelt at the foot of Hermon in the land of Maspha. Josu. 11:3
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for to morrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire. Josu. 11:6
And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire. Josu. 11:11
There was not a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight. Josu. 11:19
He left not any of the stock of the Enacims, in the land of the children of Israel: except the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and Azotus, in which alone they were left. Josu. 11:22
So Josue took all the land, as the Lord spoke to Moses, and delivered it in possession to the children of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from wars. Josu. 11:23
Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon, and had dominion from Aroer, which is seated upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, and of the middle part in the valley, and of half Galaad, as far as the torrent Jaboc, which is the border of the children of Ammon. Josu. 12:2
The border of Og the king of Basan, of the remnant of the Raphaims who dwelt in Astaroth, and in Edrai, and had dominion in mount Hermon, and in Salecha, and in all Basan, unto the borders Josu. 12:4
Moses the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel slew them, and Moses delivered their land in possession to the Rubenites, and Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses. Josu. 12:6
These are the kings of the land, whom Josue and the children of Israel slew beyond the Jordan on the west side from Baalgad in the field of Libanus, unto the mount, part of which goeth up into Seir: and Josue delivered it in possession to the tribes of Israel, to every one their divisions, Josu. 12:7
As well in the mountains as in the plains and the champaign countries. In Asedoth, and in the wilderness, and in the south was the Hethite and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite and the Pherezite, the Hevite and the Jebusite. Josu. 12:8
¤ Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot: Josu. 13:1
Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee. Josu. 13:6
And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses, Josu. 13:7
From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, as far as Dibon: Josu. 13:9
And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon. Josu. 13:10
All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed them. Josu. 13:12
And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day. Josu. 13:13
And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba, Josu. 13:16
And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon, Josu. 13:17
And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley. Josu. 13:19
And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the land. Josu. 13:21
And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east side, Josu. 13:27
The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns. Josu. 13:30
And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds. Josu. 13:31
This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east side, Josu. 13:32
¤ This is what the children of Israel possessed in the land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gave to them. Josu. 14:1
But in their place succeeded the children of Joseph divided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Levites receive other portion of land, but cities to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed their beasts and flocks. Josu. 14:4
Then the children of Juda came to Josue in Galgal, and Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite spoke to him: Thou knowest what the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Cadesbarne. Josu. 14:6
And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord my God. Josu. 14:9
As strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land: the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to fight as to march. Josu. 14:11
Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me. Josu. 14:12
And Josue blessed him, and gave him Hebron in possession. Josu. 14:13
And it goeth up by the valley of the son of Ennom on the side of the Jebusite towards the south, the same is Jerusalem: and thence ascending to the top of the mountain, which is over against Geennom to the west in the end of the valley of Raphaim, northward. Josu. 15:8
These are the borders round about of the children of Juda in their kindreds. Josu. 15:12
But to Caleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda, as the Lord had commanded him: Cariath-Arbe the father of Enac, which is Hebron. Josu. 15:13
But in the plains: Estaol and Sarea and Asena, Josu. 15:33
And in the mountain Samir and Jether and Socoth, Josu. 15:48
In the desert Betharaba, Meddin and Sachacha, Josu. 15:61
But the children of Juda could not destroy the Jebusite that dwelt in Jerusalem: and the Jebusite dwelt with the children of Juda in Jerusalem until this present day. Josu. 15:63
And there were cities with their villages separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the possession of the children of Manasses. Josu. 16:9
And the children of Ephraim slew not the Chanaanite, who dwelt in Gazer: and the Chanaanite dwelt in the midst of Ephraim until this day, paying tribute. Josu. 16:10
And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren of their father. Josu. 17:4
For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses. Josu. 17:6
For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children of Ephraim. Josu. 17:8
And the border goeth down to the valley of the reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses is on the north side of the torrent, and the outgoings of it are at the sea: Josu. 17:9
So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of Issachar on the east. Josu. 17:10
And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth. Josu. 17:11
Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land. Josu. 17:12
And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee. Josu. 17:15
And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron. Josu. 17:16
But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong. Josu. 17:18
¤ And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them. Josu. 18:1
And Josue said to them: How long are you indolent and slack, and go not in to possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given you? Josu. 18:3
Divide to yourselves the land into seven parts: let Juda be in his bounds on the south side, and the house of Joseph on the north. Josu. 18:5
The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God. Josu. 18:6
And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo. Josu. 18:8
So they went and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book. And they returned to Josue, to the camp in Silo. Josu. 18:9
And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts. Josu. 18:10
And it goeth down to that part of the mountain that looketh on the valley of the children of Ennom: and is over against the north quarter in the furthermost part of the valley of Raphaim, and it goeth down into Geennom (that is the valley of Ennom) by the side of the Jebusite to the south: and cometh to the fountain of Rogel, Josu. 18:16
In the midst of the possession of the children of Juda: Bersabee and Sabee and Molada Josu. 19:2
In the possession and lot of the children of Juda: because it was too great, and therefore the children of Simeon had their possession in the midst of their inheritance. Josu. 19:9
And is terminated there. And the children of Dan went up and fought against Lesem, and took it: and they put it to the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt in it, calling the name of it Lesem Dan, by the name of Dan their father. Josu. 19:47
And when he had made an end of dividing the land by lot to each one by their tribes, the children of Israel gave a possession to Josue the son of Nun in the midst of them, Josu. 19:49
According to the commandment of the Lord, the city which he asked for, Thamnath Saraa, in mount Ephraim: and he built up the city, and dwelt in it. Josu. 19:50
These are the possessions which Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families, and of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed by lot in Silo, before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they divided the land. Josu. 19:51
And when he shall flee to one of these cities: he shall stand before the gate of the city, and shall speak to the ancients of that city, such things as prove him innocent: and so shall they receive him, and give him a place to dwell in. Josu. 20:4
And he shall dwell in that city, till he stand before judgment to give an account of his fact, and till the death of the high priest, who shall be at that time: then shall the manslayer return, and go into his own city and house from whence he fled. Josu. 20:6
And they appointed Cedes in Galilee of mount Nephtali, and Sichem in mount Ephraim, and Cariath-Arbe, the same is Hebron in the mountain of Juda. Josu. 20:7
And beyond the Jordan to the east of Jericho, they appointed Bosor, which is upon the plain of the wilderness of the tribe of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad of the tribe of Gad, and Gaulon in Basan of the tribe of Manasses. Josu. 20:8
And they spoke to them in Silo in the land of Chanaan, and said: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given us to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed our cattle. Josu. 21:2
And the lot came out to the children of Gerson, that they should take of the tribes of Issachar and of Aser and of Nephtali, and of the half tribe of Manasses in Basan, thirteen cities. Josu. 21:6
The city of Arbe the father of Enac, which is called Hebron, in the mountain of Juda, and the suburbs thereof round about. Josu. 21:11
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Sichem one of the cities of refuge, with the suburbs thereof in mount Ephraim, and Gazer, Josu. 21:21
To the children of Gerson also of the race of Levi out of the half tribe of Manasses, Gaulon in Basan, one of the cities of refuge, and Bosra, with their suburbs, two cities. Josu. 21:27
Of the tribe also of Nephtali, Cedes in Galilee, one of the cities of refuge: and Hammoth Dor, and Carthan, with their suburbs, three cities. Josu. 21:32
Of the tribe of Ruben beyond the Jordan over against Jericho, Bosor in the wilderness, one of the cities of refuge, Misor and Jaser and Josu. 21:36
Of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Galaad, one of the cities of refuge, and Manaim and Josu. 21:38
And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it. Josu. 21:43
And said to them: You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: you have also obeyed me in all things, Josu. 22:2
Yet so that you observe attentively, and in work fulfil the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep all his commandments, and cleave to him, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul. Josu. 22:5
Now to half the tribe of Manasses, Moses had given a possession in Basan: and therefore to the half that remained, Josue gave a lot among the rest of their brethren beyond the Jordan to the west. And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had blessed them, Josu. 22:7
So the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses returned, and parted from the children of Israel in Silo, which is in Chanaan, to go into Galaad the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses. Josu. 22:9
And when they were come to the banks of the Jordan, in the land of Chanaan, they built an altar immensely great near the Jordan. Josu. 22:10
And when the children of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers brought them an account that the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses had built an altar in the land of Chanaan, upon the banks of the Jordan, over against the children of Israel: Josu. 22:11
They all assembled in Silo, to go up and fight against them. Josu. 22:12
And in the mean time they sent to them into the land of Galaad, Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, Josu. 22:13
Is it a small thing to you that you sinned with Beelphegor, and the stain of that crime remaineth in us to this day? and many of the people perished. Josu. 22:17
Did not Achan the son of Zare transgress the commandment of the Lord, and his wrath lay upon all the people of Israel? And he was but one man, and would to God he alone had perished in his wickedness. Josu. 22:20
The Lord hath put the river Jordan for a border between us and you, O ye children of Ruben, and ye children of Gad: and therefore you have no part in the Lord. And by this occasion your children shall turn away our children from the fear of the Lord. We therefore thought it best, Josu. 22:25
But for a testimony between us and you, and our posterity and yours, that we may serve the Lord, and that we may have a right to offer both holocausts, and victims and sacrifices of peace offerings: and that your children to morrow may not say to our children: You have no part in the Lord. Josu. 22:27
¤ And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years: Josu. 23:1
Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years, Josu. 23:2
Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left: Josu. 23:6
Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them: Josu. 23:7
Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumbling-block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you. Josu. 23:13
Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you, Josu. 23:15
¤ And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord: Josu. 24:1
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time. Josu. 24:7
And I gave you a land, in which you had not laboured, and cities to dwell in which you built not, vineyards and oliveyards, which you planted not. Josu. 24:13
Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and most sincere heart: and put away the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. Josu. 24:14
But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord, Josu. 24:15
The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed. Josu. 24:17
Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem. Josu. 24:25
And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord. Josu. 24:26
And they buried him in the border of his possession in Thamnathsare, which is situate in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas. Josu. 24:30
And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel. Josu. 24:31
And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph. Josu. 24:32
Eleazar also the son of Aaron died: and they buried him in Gabaath that belongeth to Phinees his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim. Josu. 24:33
And Juda went up, and the Lord delivered the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite into their hands: and they slew of them in Bezec ten thousand men. Judg. 1:4

And afterwards they went down and fought against the Chanaanite, who dwelt in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains. Judg. 1:9
And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron, (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai: Judg. 1:10
And Juda went with Simeon, his brother, and they together defeated the Chanaanites that dwelt in Sephaath, and slew them. And the name of the city was called Horma, that is, Anathema. Judg. 1:17
But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day. Judg. 1:21
Ephraim also did not slay the Chanaanite that dwelt in Gazer, but dwelt with him. Judg. 1:29
And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites, the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them. Judg. 1:32
Nephthali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites, the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him. Judg. 1:33
And the Amorrhite straitened the children of Dan in the mountain, and gave them not a place to go down to the plain: Judg. 1:34
And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him. Judg. 1:35
And they buried him in the borders of his possession in Thamnathsare, in Mount Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaas. Judg. 2:9
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served Baalim Judg. 2:11
Committing fornication with strange gods, and adoring them. They quickly forsook the way, in which their fathers had walked: and hearing the commandments of the Lord, they did all things contrary. Judg. 2:17
And when the Lord raised them up judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and heard the groanings of the afflicted, and delivered them from the slaughter of the oppressors. Judg. 2:18
That through them I may try Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not. Judg. 2:22
The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in Mount Libanus, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath. Judg. 3:3
So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: Judg. 3:5
And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth. Judg. 3:7
And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim, king of Syria, and he overthrew him: Judg. 3:10
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon, king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight. Judg. 3:12
And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith, under his garment, on the right thigh. Judg. 3:16
Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne. Judg. 3:20
With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in the body as he had struck it in: and forthwith, by the secret parts of nature, the excrements of the belly came out. Judg. 3:22
Went out by a postern door. And the king's servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour. Judg. 3:24
But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath: Judg. 3:26
And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in Mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front. Judg. 3:27
And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies, the Moabites, into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over: Judg. 3:28
¤ And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod: Judg. 4:1
And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jabin, king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles. Judg. 4:2
And she sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel, in Mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all judgment. Judg. 4:5
And she sent and called Barac, the Son of Abinoem, out of Cedes, in Nephthali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to Mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephthali, and of the children of Zabulon: Judg. 4:6
And I will bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara, the general of Jabin's army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand. Judg. 4:7
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nephthali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company. Judg. 4:10
And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord; come in, fear not. He went into her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak, Judg. 4:18
So Jahel, Haber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it with the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died. Judg. 4:21
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
¤ In that day Debbora and Barac, son of Abinoem, sung, and said: Judg. 5:1
In the days of Samgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel, the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways. Judg. 5:6
The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel. Judg. 5:7
Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way. Judg. 5:10
Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens. Judg. 5:17
But Zabulon and Nephthali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome. Judg. 5:18
The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanac, by the waters of Mageddo and yet they took no spoils. Judg. 5:19
There was war made against them from heaven: the stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisara. Judg. 5:20
Blessed among women be Jahel, the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent. Judg. 5:24
He asked her water, and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes. Judg. 5:25
She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples. Judg. 5:26
His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow? Judg. 5:28
One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law: Judg. 5:29
So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. And the land rested for forty years. Judg. 5:31
¤ And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years, Judg. 6:1
And they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and caves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist. Judg. 6:2
And pitching their tents among them, wasted all things as they were in the blade, even to the entrance of Gaza: and they left nothing at all in Israel for sustenance of life, nor sheep, nor oxen, nor asses. Judg. 6:4
And Israel was humbled exceedingly in the sight of Madian. Judg. 6:6
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 an angel of the Lord came, and sat under an oak that was in Ephra, and belonged to Joas, the father of the family of Ezri. And when Gedeon, his son, was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian, Judg. 6:11
And the Lord looked upon him, and said: Go, in this thy strength, and thou shalt deliver Israel out of the hand of Madian: know that I have sent thee. Judg. 6:14
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
So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him. Judg. 6:19
The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight. Judg. 6:21
And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord's peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri, Judg. 6:24
And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God, in the top of this rock, whereupon thou didst lay the sacrifice before: and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which thou shalt cut down out of the grove. Judg. 6:26
And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built. Judg. 6:28
Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people, were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael. Judg. 6:33
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
¤ Then Jerobaal, who is the same as Gedeon, rising up early, and all the people with him, came to the fountain that is called Harad. Now the camp of Madian was in the valley, on the north side of the high hill. Judg. 7:1
Speak to the people, and proclaim in the hearing of all: Whosoever is fearful and timorous, let him return. So two and twenty thousand men went away from Mount Galaad and returned home, and only ten thousand remained. Judg. 7:3
So taking victuals and trumpets according to their number, he ordered all the rest of the multitude to depart to their tents: and he with the three hundred gave himself to the battle. Now the camp of Madia was beneath him in the valley. Judg. 7:8
And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies' camp. And he went down with Phara his servant, into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms. Judg. 7:11
But Madian and Amalec, and all the eastern people, lay scattered in the valley, as a multitude of locusts: their camels also were innumerable, as the sand that lieth on the sea shore. Judg. 7:12
And 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 divided the three hundred men into three parts, and gave them trumpets in their hands, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. Judg. 7:16
When the trumpet shall sound in my hand, do you also blow the trumpets on every side of the camp, and shout together to the Lord and to Gedeon. Judg. 7:18
And when they sounded their trumpets in three places round about the camp, and had broken their pitchers, they held their lamps in their left hands, and with their right hands the trumpets which they blew, and they cried out: The sword of the Lord and of Gedeon: Judg. 7:20
Standing every man in his place round about the enemies' camp. So all the camp was troubled, and crying out and howling, they fled away: Judg. 7:21
Fleeing as far as Bethsetta, and the border of Abelmahula, in Tebbath. But the men of Israel, shouting from Nephthali, and Aser, and from all Manasses, pursued after Madian. Judg. 7:23
And having taken two men of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: Oreb they slew in the rock of Oreb, and Zeb in the winepress of Zeb. And they pursued Madian, carrying the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon, beyond the waters of the Jordan. Judg. 7:25
The princes of Soccoth answered: Peradventure the palms of the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hand, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to thy army. Judg. 8:6
He said, therefore, to them also: When I shall return a conqueror in peace, I will destroy this tower. Judg. 8:9
And Gedeon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents, on the east of Nobe and Jegbaa, and smote the camp of the enemies, who were secure, and suspected no hurt. Judg. 8:11
And Zebee and Salmana fled, and Gedeon pursued and took them, all their host being put in confusion. Judg. 8:12
And he came to Soccoth, and said to them: Behold Zebee, and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint. Judg. 8:15
So he took the ancients of the city, and thorns and briers of the desert, and tore them with the same, and cut in pieces the men of Soccoth. Judg. 8:16
And he said to Zebee and Salmana: What manner of men were they, whom you slew in Thabor? They answered: They were like thee, and one of them as the son of a king. Judg. 8:18
And Gedeon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city Ephra. And all Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gedeon, and to all his house. Judg. 8:27
So Jerobaal, the son of Joas, went and dwelt in his own house: Judg. 8:29
And his concubine, that he had in Sichem, bore him a son, whose name was Abimelech. Judg. 8:31
And Gedeon, the son of Joas died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father, in Ephra, of the family of Ezri. Judg. 8:32
And he came to his father's house in Ephra, and slew his brethren, the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham, the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden. Judg. 9:5
And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem. Judg. 9:6
Now, therefore, if you have done well, and without sin, in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him who fought for you, Judg. 9:16
If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault, with Jerobaal and his house, rejoice ye, this day, in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you. Judg. 9:19
Went out into the fields, wasting the vineyards, and treading down the grapes: and singing and dancing, they went into the temple of their god, and in their banquets and cups they cursed Abimelech. Judg. 9:27
Arise, therefore, in the night, with the people that is with thee, and lie hid in the field: Judg. 9:32
And betimes in the morning, at sun rising, set upon the city, and when he shall come out against thee, with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able. Judg. 9:33
Abimelech, therefore, arose with all his army, by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places. Judg. 9:34
And Gaal, the son of Obed, went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and all his army with him, from the places of the ambushes. Judg. 9:35
So Gaal went out, in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech, Judg. 9:39
And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions, out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it. Judg. 9:41
And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose, and set upon them, Judg. 9:43
And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it. Judg. 9:45
And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem, had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith, where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong. Judg. 9:46
And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves. Judg. 9:51
¤ After Abimelech, there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola, son of Phua, the uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim: Judg. 10:1
And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died, and was buried in Samir. Judg. 10:2
Having thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day, in the land of Galaad. Judg. 10:4
And Jair died, and was buried in the place which is called Camon. Judg. 10:5
But the children of Israel, adding new sins to their old ones, did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served idols, Baalim and Astaroth, and the gods of Syria, and of Sidon, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines: and they left the Lord, and did not serve him. Judg. 10:6
And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorrhite, who is in Galaad: Judg. 10:8
Go, and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress. Judg. 10:14
And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped in Maspha. Judg. 10:17
Now Galaad had a wife of whom he had sons: who, after they were grown up, thrust out Jephte, saying: Thou canst not inherit in the house of our father, because thou art born of another mother. Judg. 11:2
Then he fled and avoided them, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered to him needy men and robbers, and they followed him as their prince. Judg. 11:3
In those days the children of Ammon made war against Israel. Judg. 11:4
Jephte therefore went with the princes of Galaad, and all the people made him their prince. And Jephte spoke all his words before the Lord in Maspha. Judg. 11:11
And he sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, to say in his name: What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me, to waste my land? Judg. 11:12
And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying: Suffer me to pass through thy land. But he would not condescend to his request. He sent also to the king of Moab, who, likewise, refused to give him passage. He abode, therefore, in Cades, Judg. 11:17
So Israel sent messengers to Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon, and they said to him: Suffer me to pass through thy land to the river. Judg. 11:19
Whereas he hath dwelt in Hesebon, and the villages thereof, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan, for three hundred years. Why have you for so long a time attempted nothing about this claim? Judg. 11:26
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 he answered her: Go. And he sent her away for two months. And when she was gone with her comrades and companions, she mourned her virginity in the mountains. Judg. 11:38
And the two months being expired, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed, and she knew no man. From thence came a fashion in Israel, and a custom has been kept: Judg. 11:39
¤ But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house. Judg. 12:1
And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me? Judg. 12:3
Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses. Judg. 12:4
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
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim, two and forty thousand. Judg. 12:6
And Jephte, the Galaadite, judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad. Judg. 12:7
And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem. Judg. 12:10
And he died, and was buried in Zabulon. Judg. 12:12
And he died, and was buried in Pharathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech. Judg. 12:15
¤ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years. Judg. 13:1
And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel, Judg. 13:9
And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground; Judg. 13:20
And the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol. Judg. 13:25
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 the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell this to his father and mother. Judg. 14:6
And after some days, returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, and a honey-comb. Judg. 14:8
And when he had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion. Judg. 14:9
And he said to them: Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle. Judg. 14:14
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
Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson, the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father. Judg. 15:6
And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam. Judg. 15:8
Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread abroad. Judg. 15:9
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass and waters issued out of it. And when he had drunk them, he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day. Judg. 15:19
And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years. Judg. 15:20
¤ He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman, a harlot, and went in unto her. Judg. 16:1
And when the Philistines had heard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out. Judg. 16:2
After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila. Judg. 16:4
Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber, expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength lay. Judg. 16:9
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
Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs. Judg. 16:12
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
But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from him. Judg. 16:19
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
Then the Philistines seized upon him, and forthwith pulled out his eyes, and led him bound in chains to Gaza, and shutting him up in prison made him grind. Judg. 16:21
And rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison, he played before them; and they made him stand between two pillars. Judg. 16:25
He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude, that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life. Judg. 16:30
And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol, in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he judged Israel twenty years. Judg. 16:31
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
And he restored them to his mother: and she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, to make of them a graven and a molten God, which was in the house of Michas. Judg. 17:4
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every one did that which seemed right to himself. Judg. 17:6
¤ In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes. Judg. 18:1
He answered them: Go in peace: the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go. Judg. 18:6
And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done: to whom they answered: Judg. 18:8
We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth. Judg. 18:10
And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim. Judg. 18:12
The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod and theraphim, and a graven and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do. Judg. 18:14
And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace. Judg. 18:15
So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god, And the priest said to them: What are you doing? Judg. 18:18
And they said to him: Hold thy peace, and put thy finger on thy mouth, and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel? Judg. 18:19
And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them, Judg. 18:22
There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it, and dwelt therein, Judg. 18:28
And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity. Judg. 18:30
And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo. In those days there was no king in Israel. Judg. 18:31
And she left him, and returned to her father's house in Bethlehem, and abode with him four months. Judg. 19:2
And her husband followed her, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father's house. And when his father in law had heard this, and had seen him, he met him with joy, Judg. 19:3
And embraced the man. And the son in law tarried in the house of his father in law three days, eating with him and drinking familiarly. Judg. 19:4
But on the fourth day, arising early in the morning, he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart. Judg. 19:5
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 he rising up, began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him. Judg. 19:7
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 the young man arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me to day also, and spend the day in mirth, and to morrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy house. Judg. 19:9
His son in law would not consent to his words: but forthwith went forward, and came over against Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two asses laden, and his concubine. Judg. 19:10
And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama. Judg. 19:13
So they passed by Jebus, and went on their journey, and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gabaa, which is in the tribe of Benjamin: Judg. 19:14
And they turned into it to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge. Judg. 19:15
And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini. Judg. 19:16
And the old man lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city, and said to him: Whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? Judg. 19:17
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
They would not be satisfied with his words; which the man seeing, brought out his concubine to them, and abandoned her to their wickedness: and when they had abused her all the night, they let her go in the morning. Judg. 19:25
And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door, that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold. Judg. 19:27
And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel, from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done. Judg. 19:30
¤ Then all the children of Israel went out, and gathered together as one man, from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha: Judg. 20:1
And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel, met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war. Judg. 20:2
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
But this we will do in common against Gabaa: Judg. 20:9
And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader. Judg. 20:18
And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa: Judg. 20:19
Again Israel, trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before: Judg. 20:22
Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also, which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth, Judg. 20:33
And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men, and that drew the sword. Judg. 20:35
And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword. Judg. 20:37
Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken. Judg. 20:38
And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle, (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled, and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army) Judg. 20:39
And they that were slain in the same place, were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers. Judg. 20:44
And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness, and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight also, as they were straggling, and going different ways; they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand. Judg. 20:45
And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin, in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war. Judg. 20:46
And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months. Judg. 20:47
¤ Now the children of Israel had also sworn in Maspha, saying: None of us shall give of his daughters to the children of Benjamin to wife. Judg. 21:1
And they all came to the house of God in Silo, and abiding before him till the evening, lifted up their voices, and began to lament and weep, saying: Judg. 21:2
O Lord God of Israel, why is so great an evil come to pass in thy people, that this day one tribe should be taken away from among us? Judg. 21:3
Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the army of the Lord? for they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were in Maspha, that whosoever were wanting should be slain. Judg. 21:5
Whence shall they take wives? For we have all in general sworn, not to give our daughters to them. Judg. 21:7
Therefore they said: Who is there of all the tribes of Israel, that came not up to the Lord to Maspha? And, behold, the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad were found not to have been in that army. Judg. 21:8
(At that time also when they were in Silo, no one of them was found there,) Judg. 21:9
And there were found of Jabes Galaad four hundred virgins, that had not known the bed of a man, and they brought them to the camp in Silo, into the land of Chanaan. Judg. 21:12
And they sent messengers to the children of Benjamin, that were in the rock Remmon, and commanded them to receive them in peace. Judg. 21:13
And the children of Benjamin came at that time, and wives were given them of the daughters of Jabes Galaad: but they found no others, whom they might give in like manner. Judg. 21:14
And the ancients said: What shall we do with the rest, that have not received wives? for all the women in Benjamin are dead. Judg. 21:16
So they took counsel, and said: Behold, there is a yearly solemnity of the Lord in Silo, which is situate on the north of the city of Bethel, and on the east side of the way, that goeth from Bethel to Sichem, and on the south of the town of Lebona. Judg. 21:19
And they commanded the children of Benjamin and said: Go, and lie hid in the vineyards, Judg. 21:20
And the children of Benjamin did as they had been commanded: and, according to their number, they carried off for themselves every man his wife of them that were dancing: and they went into their possession, and built up their cities, and dwelt in them. Judg. 21:23
In those days there was no king in Israel: but every one did that which seemed right to himself. Judg. 21:25
‡ ¤ In the days of the judges, when the judges ruled, there came a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Juda, went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons. Ruth 1:1
And she arose to go from the land of Moab to her own country, with both her daughters in law: for she had heard that the Lord had looked upon his people, and had given them food. Ruth 1:6
Wherefore she went forth out of the place of her sojournment, with both her daughters in law: and being now in the way to return into the land of Juda, Ruth 1:7
May he grant you to find rest in the houses of the husbands whom you shall take. And she kissed them. And they lifted up their voice, and began to weep, Ruth 1:9
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
And they lifted up their voice, and began to weep again: Orpha kissed her mother in law, and returned: Ruth stuck close to her mother in law. Ruth 1:14
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
So Noemi came with Ruth, the Moabitess, her daughter in law, from the land of her sojournment: and returned into Bethlehem, in the beginning of the barley harvest. Ruth 1:22
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 she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment. Ruth 2:7
And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids, Ruth 2:8
And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore. Ruth 2:11
And 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 Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings. Ruth 2:14
She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod, and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels: Ruth 2:17
Which she took up, and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover, she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled. Ruth 2:18
And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man's name, that he was called Booz. Ruth 2:19
And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man's field some one may resist thee. Ruth 2:22
So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns. Ruth 2:23
¤ 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
This Booz, with whose maids thou wast joined in the field, is our near kinsman, and behold this night he winnoweth barley in the threshingfloor. Ruth 3:2
And when he shall go to sleep, mark the place wherein he sleepeth: and thou shalt go in, and lift up the clothes wherewith he is covered towards his feet, and shalt lay thyself down there: and he will tell thee what thou must do. Ruth 3:4
And she went down to the barnfloor, and did all that her mother in law had bid her. Ruth 3:6
And came to her mother in law; who said to her: What hast thou done, daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. Ruth 3:16
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
And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman's hand, thou must take also Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance. Ruth 4:5
Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe and gave it to his neighbour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel. Ruth 4:7
And 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 all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients, answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem: Ruth 4:11
Booz therefore took Ruth, and married her: and went in unto her, and the Lord gave her to conceive, and to bear a son. Ruth 4:13
And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor: that his name should be preserved in Israel. Ruth 4:14
And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons. Ruth 4:15
And Noemi taking the child, laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it. Ruth 4:16
And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord. 1 Ki. 1:3
So Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli, the priest, sitting upon a stool before the door of the temple of the Lord; 1 Ki. 1:9
Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk, 1 Ki. 1:13
Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him. 1 Ki. 1:17
And she said: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed. 1 Ki. 1:18
And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: And the Lord remembered her. 1 Ki. 1:19
And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young: 1 Ki. 1:24
¤ 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
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; because no man shall prevail by his own strength. 1 Ki. 2:9
The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens: The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ. 1 Ki. 2:10
And Elcana went to Ramatha, to his house: but the child ministered in the sight of the Lord before the face of Heli the priest. 1 Ki. 2:11
Nor the office of the priests to the people: but whosoever had offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest came, while the flesh was in boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand, 1 Ki. 2:13
If one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them. 1 Ki. 2:25
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
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
And thou shalt see thy rival in the temple, in all the prosperity of Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever. 1 Ki. 2:32
And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees: in one day they shall both of them die. 1 Ki. 2:34
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 1 Ki. 2:36
¤ Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision. 1 Ki. 3:1
And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see: 1 Ki. 3:2
Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. 1 Ki. 3:3
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
So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight. 1 Ki. 3:18
And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel. 1 Ki. 3:21
¤ And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec, 1 Ki. 4:1
And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines: and there were slain in that fight, here and there in the fields, about four thousand men. 1 Ki. 4:2
And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies. 1 Ki. 4:3
And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp. 1 Ki. 4:6
Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday, and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high Gods? these are the Gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert. 1 Ki. 4:8
And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: And he judged Israel forty years. 1 Ki. 4:18
And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden. 1 Ki. 4:19
And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and for her husband: 1 Ki. 4:21
And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place. 1 Ki. 5:3
And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, were cut off upon the threshold: 1 Ki. 5:4
And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day. 1 Ki. 5:5
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city. 1 Ki. 5:6
And while they were carrying it about, the hand of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins. 1 Ki. 5:9
For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven. 1 Ki. 5:12
¤ Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months. 1 Ki. 6:1
They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had sucking calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home. 1 Ki. 6:10
And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice, and the likeness of the emerods. 1 Ki. 6:11
Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes, they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 1 Ki. 6:13
And the cart came into the field of Josue, a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord. 1 Ki. 6:14
And the golden mice, according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite. 1 Ki. 6:18
¤ And the men of Cariathiarim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and carried it into the house of Abinadab, in Gabaa: and they sanctified Eleazar, his son, to keep the ark of the Lord. 1 Ki. 7:1
And it came to pass, that from the day the ark of the Lord abode in Cariathiarim, days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested, following the Lord. 1 Ki. 7:2
And they gathered together to Masphath, and they drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and they fasted on that day, and they said there: We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath. 1 Ki. 7:6
And he went every year about to Bethel and to Galgal and to Masphath, and he judged Israel in the foresaid places. 1 Ki. 7:16
Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee. 1 Ki. 8:2
And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. 1 Ki. 8:3
And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have. 1 Ki. 8:5
And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord. 1 Ki. 8:6
And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them. 1 Ki. 8:7
And said: This will be the right of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen, to run before his chariots, 1 Ki. 8:11
And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves: and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king. 1 Ki. 8:18
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord. 1 Ki. 8:21
And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now, therefore, let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come. 1 Ki. 9:6
And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all. 1 Ki. 9:7
The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way. 1 Ki. 9:8
Now in time past in Israel, when a man went to consult God, he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer. 1 Ki. 9:9
They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came to day into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place. 1 Ki. 9:12
And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place. 1 Ki. 9:14
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 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 they came to the foresaid hill, and behold a company of prophets met him: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them. 1 Ki. 10:10
And Samuel called together the people to the Lord in Maspha: 1 Ki. 10:17
And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward. 1 Ki. 10:23
And Samuel told the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, every one to his own house. 1 Ki. 10:25
Saul also departed to his own house in Gabaa: and there went with him a part of the army, whose hearts God had touched. 1 Ki. 10:26
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
The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. 1 Ki. 11:4
And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel, by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man. 1 Ki. 11:7
And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand. 1 Ki. 11:8
And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us. 1 Ki. 11:10
And it came to pass, when the morrow was come, that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. 1 Ki. 11:11
And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day: because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel: 1 Ki. 11:13
And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king, before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly. 1 Ki. 11:15
¤ And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you. 1 Ki. 12:1
And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness. 1 Ki. 12:5
Now, therefore, stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath shewn to you, and to your fathers: 1 Ki. 12:7
How Jacob went into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the Lord: and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. 1 Ki. 12:8
Now then stand, and see this great thing which the Lord will do in your sight. 1 Ki. 12:16
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
Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in truth, and with your whole heart, for you have seen the great works which he hath done among you. 1 Ki. 12:24
And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings. 1 Ki. 13:2
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines which was in Gabaa. And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear. 1 Ki. 13:3
The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the seashore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas, at the east of Bethaven. 1 Ki. 13:5
And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened (for the people were distressed), they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits. 1 Ki. 13:6
And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid. 1 Ki. 13:7
And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas, 1 Ki. 13:11
And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa, in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men. 1 Ki. 13:15
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: But the Philistines encamped in Machmas. 1 Ki. 13:16
Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears. 1 Ki. 13:19
And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son. 1 Ki. 13:22
And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas. 1 Ki. 13:23
And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa, under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men. 1 Ki. 14:2
And Achias, the son of Achitob, brother of Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone. 1 Ki. 14:3
If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them. 1 Ki. 14:9
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day. 1 Ki. 14:14
And there was a miracle in the camp, in the fields: and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God. 1 Ki. 14:15
And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that. 1 Ki. 14:16
And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand. 1 Ki. 14:19
And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men. 1 Ki. 14:22
And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground. 1 Ki. 14:25
But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened. 1 Ki. 14:27
And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord, in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there. 1 Ki. 14:34
And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God. 1 Ki. 14:36
As the Lord liveth, who is the Saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan, my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsayed him. 1 Ki. 14:39
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 the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day: If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped. 1 Ki. 14:41
And 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
And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? this must not be: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die. 1 Ki. 14:45
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 when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent. 1 Ki. 15:5
And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, out of the choicest of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalec. 1 Ki. 15:12
And 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: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel. 1 Ki. 15:17
Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord? 1 Ki. 15:19
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
But the people took of the spoils, sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal. 1 Ki. 15:21
But the triumpher in Israel will not spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a man that he should repent. 1 Ki. 15:29
And Samuel said: Bring hither to me Agag, the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner? 1 Ki. 15:32
And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal. 1 Ki. 15:33
And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa. 1 Ki. 15:34
And when they were come in, he saw Eliab, and said: Is the Lord's anointed before him? 1 Ki. 16:6
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel rose up, and went to Ramatha. 1 Ki. 16:13
Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee, will seek out a man skilful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayst bear it more easily. 1 Ki. 16:16
And 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
Then Saul sent messengers to Isai, saying: Send me David, thy son, who is in the pastures. 1 Ki. 16:19
And Saul sent to Isai, saying: Let David stand before me: for he hath found favour in my sight. 1 Ki. 16:22
¤ Now the Philistines gathering together their troops to battle, assembled at Socho of Juda: and camped between Socho and Azeca, in the borders of Dommim. 1 Ki. 17:1
And Saul and the children of Israel being gathered together, came to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines. 1 Ki. 17:2
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite, of Bethlehem Juda, before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men. 1 Ki. 17:12
But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel, were in the valley of Terebinth, fighting against the Philistines. 1 Ki. 17:19
David, therefore, arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded, as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle. 1 Ki. 17:20
For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared. 1 Ki. 17:21
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel. 1 Ki. 17:25
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 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 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 he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine. 1 Ki. 17:40
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
And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about, struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth. 1 Ki. 17:49
And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand, 1 Ki. 17:50
And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron. 1 Ki. 17:52
And David taking the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent. 1 Ki. 17:54
And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 1 Ki. 17:57
And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul's servants. 1 Ki. 18:5
And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand, what can he have more but the kingdom? 1 Ki. 18:8
And the day after, the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand, 1 Ki. 18:10
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people. 1 Ki. 18:13
And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. 1 Ki. 18:14
But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them. 1 Ki. 18:16
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 Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold, thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now, therefore be the king's son in law. 1 Ki. 18:22
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 when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law. 1 Ki. 18:26
And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol, his daughter, to wife. 1 Ki. 18:27
And 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 he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood, by killing David, who is without fault? 1 Ki. 19:5
Then Jonathan called David, and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before. 1 Ki. 19:7
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul; and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand. 1 Ki. 19:9
And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled, and escaped that night. 1 Ki. 19:10
Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol, David's wife, had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die: 1 Ki. 19:11
And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain. 1 Ki. 19:15
And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat skin at his head. 1 Ki. 19:16
But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth. 1 Ki. 19:18
And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth, in Ramatha. 1 Ki. 19:19
Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they are in Najoth, in Ramatha. 1 Ki. 19:22
And he went to Najoth, in Ramatha, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth, in Ramatha. 1 Ki. 19:23
¤ But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life? 1 Ki. 20:1
And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death. 1 Ki. 20:3
And David said to Jonathan: Behold to morrow is the new moon, and I, according to custom, am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day. 1 Ki. 20:5
Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me, thy servant, into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father. 1 Ki. 20:8
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
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
So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread. 1 Ki. 20:24
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
So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion. 1 Ki. 20:34
And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. 1 Ki. 20:42
And David answered the priest, and said to him: Truly, as to what concerneth women, we have refrained ourselves from yesterday and the day before, when we came out, and the vessels of the young men were holy. Now this way is defiled, but it shall also be sanctified this day in the vessels. 1 Ki. 21:5
And the priest said: Lo, here is the sword of Goliath, the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Terebinth, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take this, take it, for here there is no other but this. And David said: There is none like that, give it me. 1 Ki. 21:9
And the servants of Achis, when they saw David, said to him: Is not this David, the king of the land? Did they not sing to him in their dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 1 Ki. 21:11
But David laid up these words in his heart, and was exceedingly afraid at the face of Achis, the king of Geth. 1 Ki. 21:12
Have we need of mad men, that you have brought in this fellow, to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house? 1 Ki. 21:15
And all that were in distress, and oppressed with debt, and under affliction of mind, gathered themselves unto him: and he became their prince, and there were with him about four hundred men. 1 Ki. 22:2
And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold. 1 Ki. 22:4
And Gad the prophet said to David: Abide not in the hold, depart, and go into the land of Juda. And David departed, and came into the forest of Haret. 1 Ki. 22:5
And Saul heard that David was seen, and the men that were with him. Now whilst Saul abode in Gabaa, and was in the wood, which is by Rama, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him, 1 Ki. 22:6
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
Then the king sent to call for Achimelech, the priest, the son of Achitob, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king. 1 Ki. 22:11
And Achimelech answering the king, said: And who amongst all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son in law, and goeth forth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house? 1 Ki. 22:14
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 the king said to Doeg: Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg, the Edomite, turned, and fell upon the priests, and slew in that day eighty-five men that wore the linen ephod. 1 Ki. 22:18
And the men that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the bands of the Philistines? 1 Ki. 23:3
But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands. 1 Ki. 23:14
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood. 1 Ki. 23:15
And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose, and went to David, into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him: 1 Ki. 23:16
And they two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house. 1 Ki. 23:18
And the Ziphites went up to Saul, in Gabaa, saying: Lo, doth not David lie hid with us in the strong holds of the wood, in mount Hachila, which is on the right hand of the desert. 1 Ki. 23:19
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 they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon. 1 Ki. 23:24
Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. 1 Ki. 23:25
And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land. 1 Ki. 23:27
Then David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds of Engaddi. 1 Ki. 23:29
¤ And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi. 1 Ki. 24:1
And he came to the sheepcotes which were in his way. And there was a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay hid in the inner part of the cave. 1 Ki. 24:3
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
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
As also it is said in the old proverb: From the wicked shall wickedness come forth: therefore my hand shall not be upon thee. After whom dost thou come out, O king of Israel? 1 Ki. 24:13
And now as I know that thou shalt surely be king, and have the kingdom of Israel in thy hand: 1 Ki. 24:20
¤ And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose, and went down into the wilderness of Pharan. 1 Ki. 25:1
Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 1 Ki. 25:2
And when David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal was shearing his sheep, 1 Ki. 25:4
He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace. 1 Ki. 25:5
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
Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David. 1 Ki. 25:8
And when David's servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David's name, and then held their peace. 1 Ki. 25:9
These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: Neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert. 1 Ki. 25:15
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
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
Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life. 1 Ki. 25:28
For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling. 1 Ki. 25:29
And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face. 1 Ki. 25:35
And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king: and Nabal's heart was merry, for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning. 1 Ki. 25:36
But early in the morning, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 1 Ki. 25:37
¤ And the men of Ziph came to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Behold David is hid in the hill of Hachila, which is over against the wilderness. 1 Ki. 26:1
And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. 1 Ki. 26:2
And Saul encamped in Gabaa Hachila, which was over against the wilderness in the way: and David abode in the wilderness. And seeing that Saul was come after him into the wilderness, 1 Ki. 26:3
And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him, 1 Ki. 26:5
So David and Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying and sleeping in the tent, and his spear fixed in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people sleeping round about him. 1 Ki. 26:7
And David said to Abner: Art not thou a man? and who is like unto thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to kill the king thy lord. 1 Ki. 26:15
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 now let not my blood be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted in the mountains. 1 Ki. 26:20
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 as thy life hath been much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me from all distress. 1 Ki. 26:24
¤ 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 the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines, was four months. 1 Ki. 27:7
And David saved neither man nor woman, neither brought he any of them to Geth, saying: Lest they should speak against us. So did David, and such was his proceeding all the days that he dwelt in the country of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 27:11
¤ And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies, to be prepared for war against Israel: And Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men. 1 Ki. 28:1
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha, his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of the land. 1 Ki. 28:3
And the Philistines were gathered together, and came and encamped in Sunam: and Saul also gathered together all Israel, and came to Gelboe. 1 Ki. 28:4
And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said: I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayst shew me what I shall do. 1 Ki. 28:15
And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground; for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day. 1 Ki. 28:20
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 the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she made haste and killed it: and taking meal, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread, 1 Ki. 28:24
¤ Now all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together to Aphec: and Israel also encamped by the fountain, which is in Jezrahel. 1 Ki. 29:1
And the lords of the Philistines marched with their hundreds and their thousands: but David and his men were in the rear with Achis. 1 Ki. 29:2
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
But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him, and they said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he otherwise appease his master, but with our heads? 1 Ki. 29:4
Is not this David, to whom they sung in their dances, saying: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 1 Ki. 29:5
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
Return therefore, and go in peace, and offend not the eyes of the princes of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 29:7
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
Therefore arise in the morning, thou, and the servants of thy lord, who came with thee: and when you are up before day, and it shall begin to be light, go on your way. 1 Ki. 29:10
So David and his men arose in the night, that they might set forward in the morning, and returned to the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrahel. 1 Ki. 29:11
And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way. 1 Ki. 30:2
And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God. 1 Ki. 30:6
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink, 1 Ki. 30:11
And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle, and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike. 1 Ki. 30:24
And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel. 1 Ki. 30:25
To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether. 1 Ki. 30:27
And to them that were in Aroer, and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo, 1 Ki. 30:28
And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni, 1 Ki. 30:29
And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach, 1 Ki. 30:30
And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men. 1 Ki. 30:31
¤ And the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelboe. 1 Ki. 31:1
And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe. 1 Ki. 31:8
And they cut off Saul's head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols and among their people. 1 Ki. 31:9
And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan. 1 Ki. 31:10
And they took their bones, and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days. 1 Ki. 31:13
‡ ¤ Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg. 2 Ki. 1:1
And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me. 2 Ki. 1:9
(Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places. 2 Ki. 1:18
Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 2 Ki. 1:20
Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions. 2 Ki. 1:23
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire. 2 Ki. 1:24
How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high places? 2 Ki. 1:25
And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron. 2 Ki. 2:3
And the number of the days that David abode, reigning in Hebron over the house of Juda, was seven years and six months. 2 Ki. 2:11
Then there arose and went over twelve in number of Benjamin, of the part of Isboseth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 2 Ki. 2:15
And every one catching his fellow by the head, thrust his sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together: and the name of the place was called: The field of the valiant, in Gabaon. 2 Ki. 2:16
And there were the three sons of Sarvia there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asael: now Asael was a most swift runner, like one of the roes that abide in the woods. 2 Ki. 2:18
But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still. 2 Ki. 2:23
Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon. 2 Ki. 2:24
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill. 2 Ki. 2:25
And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren. 2 Ki. 2:27
And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day. 2 Ki. 2:32
And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Ammon of Achinoam the Jezrahelitess: 2 Ki. 3:2
And the sixth Jethraam of Egla the wife of David: these were born to David In Hebron. 2 Ki. 3:5
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
And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin. 2 Ki. 3:19
And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him. 2 Ki. 3:20
And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David had brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace, 2 Ki. 3:21
Immediately, David's servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty. And Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace. 2 Ki. 3:22
And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. 2 Ki. 3:23
And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed? 2 Ki. 3:24
Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost? 2 Ki. 3:25
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother. 2 Ki. 3:27
So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle. 2 Ki. 3:30
And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept. 2 Ki. 3:32
And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people. 2 Ki. 3:36
The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and a great man is slain this day in Israel? 2 Ki. 3:38
¤ And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled. 2 Ki. 4:1
Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin. 2 Ki. 4:2
And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep. 2 Ki. 4:5
And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away. 2 Ki. 4:6
For when they came into the house, he was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night. 2 Ki. 4:7
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 commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. 2 Ki. 4:12
¤ Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh. 2 Ki. 5:1
Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel. 2 Ki. 5:2
The ancients also of Israel came to the king of Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel. 2 Ki. 5:3
In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda. 2 Ki. 5:5
And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither. 2 Ki. 5:6
For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple. 2 Ki. 5:8
And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards. 2 Ki. 5:9
And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 2 Ki. 5:14
And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim. 2 Ki. 5:18
And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines. 2 Ki. 5:24
And they laid the ark of God upon a new cart: and took it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, and Oza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. 2 Ki. 6:3
And when they had taken it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, Ahio having care of the ark of God went before the ark. 2 Ki. 6:4
And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite. 2 Ki. 6:10
And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household. 2 Ki. 6:11
And when the ark of the Lord was come into the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord: and she despised him in her heart. 2 Ki. 6:16
And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord. 2 Ki. 6:17
And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 2 Ki. 6:18
And David said to Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler over the people of the Lord in Israel, 2 Ki. 6:21
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
¤ And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies, 2 Ki. 7:1
He said to Nathan the prophet: Dost thou see that I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God is lodged within skins? 2 Ki. 7:2
And Nathan said to the king: Go, do all that is in thy heart: because the Lord is with thee. 2 Ki. 7:3
Go, and say to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord: Shalt thou build me a house to dwell in? 2 Ki. 7:5
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 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
But yet this hath seemed little in thy sight, O Lord God, unless thou didst also speak of the house of thy servant for a long time to come: for this is the law of Adam, O Lord God: 2 Ki. 7:19
Therefore thou art magnified, O Lord God, because there is none like to thee, neither is there any God besides thee, in all the things that we have heard with our ears. 2 Ki. 7:22
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 put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute, and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went. 2 Ki. 8:6
And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass: 2 Ki. 8:10
David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand: 2 Ki. 8:13
And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about. 2 Ki. 8:14
Where is he? said he. And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar. 2 Ki. 9:4
Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master's son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 2 Ki. 9:10
But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king's table: and he was lame of both feet. 2 Ki. 9:13
¤ And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 10:1
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field. 2 Ki. 10:8
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians: 2 Ki. 10:9
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon. 2 Ki. 10:10
Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight. 2 Ki. 10:12
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him. 2 Ki. 10:17
¤ And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 11:1
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: And he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful. 2 Ki. 11:2
And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness: 2 Ki. 11:4
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 David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house. 2 Ki. 11:13
Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die. 2 Ki. 11:15
Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were. 2 Ki. 11:16
Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain. 2 Ki. 11:21
¤ And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor. 2 Ki. 12:1
But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter. 2 Ki. 12:3
Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 2 Ki. 12:9
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 besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground. 2 Ki. 12:16
And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him. 2 Ki. 12:24
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
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
And Thamar came to the house of Ammon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes. 2 Ki. 13:8
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
She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly. 2 Ki. 13:12
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
She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her: 2 Ki. 13:16
And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Ammon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother. 2 Ki. 13:20
And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons: 2 Ki. 13:23
And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left. 2 Ki. 13:30
And when he made an end of speaking, the king's sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much. 2 Ki. 13:36
And thou shalt go in to the king, and shalt speak to him in this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth. 2 Ki. 14:3
And when the woman of Thecua was come in to the king, she fell before him upon the ground, and worshipped, and said: Save me, O king. 2 Ki. 14:4
And thy handmaid had two sons: and they quarrelled with each other in the field, and there was none to part them: and the one struck the other, and slew him. 2 Ki. 14:6
And the king said: Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? The woman answered, and said: By the health of thy soul, my lord, O king, it is neither on the left hand, nor on the right, in all these things which my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy handmaid. 2 Ki. 14:19
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
But in all Israel there was not a man so comely, and so exceedingly beautiful as Absalom: from the sole of the foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 2 Ki. 14:25
And Absalom dwelt two years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face. 2 Ki. 14:28
So Joab going in to the king, told him all: and Absalom was called for, and, he went in to the king: and prostrated himself on the ground before him: and the king kissed Absalom. 2 Ki. 14:33
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
And king David said to him: Go in peace. And he arose, and went to Hebron. 2 Ki. 15:9
And Absalom sent spies into all the tribes of Israel, saying: As soon as you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, say ye: Absalom reigneth in Hebron. 2 Ki. 15:10
And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 2 Ki. 15:14
And Ethai answered the king, saying: As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth: in what place soever thou shalt be, my lord, O king, either in death, or in life, there will thy servant be. 2 Ki. 15:21
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
And the king said to Sadoc the priest: O seer, return into the city in peace: and let Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you. 2 Ki. 15:27
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
And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king's household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert. 2 Ki. 16:2
And the king said: Where is thy master's son? And Siba answered the king: He remained in Jerusalem, saying: To day, will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 2 Ki. 16:3
The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood. 2 Ki. 16:8
And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee. 2 Ki. 16:21
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel. 2 Ki. 16:22
Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom. 2 Ki. 16:23
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 again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people. 2 Ki. 17:8
Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he liest: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom. 2 Ki. 17:9
But this seemeth to me to be good counsel: Let all Israel be gathered to thee, from Dan to Bersabee, as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered: and thou shalt be in the midst of them. 2 Ki. 17:11
And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one. 2 Ki. 17:12
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him. 2 Ki. 17:16
But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it. 2 Ki. 17:18
And when Absalom's servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 17:20
But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 2 Ki. 17:23
Now Absalom appointed Amasa in Joab's stead over the army: and Amasa was the son of a man who was called Jethra, of Jezrael, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Naas, the sister of Sarvia who was the mother of Joab. 2 Ki. 17:25
And Israel camped with Absalom in the land of Galaad. 2 Ki. 17:26
And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness. 2 Ki. 17:29
And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not much mind us: or if half of us should fall, they will not greatly care: for thou alone art accounted for ten thousand: it is better therefore that thou shouldst be in the city to succour us. 2 Ki. 18:3
So the people went out into the field against Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim. 2 Ki. 18:6
And it happened that Absalom met the servants of David, riding on a mule: and as the mule went under a thick and large oak, his head stuck in the oak: and while he hung between the heaven and the earth, the mule on which he rode passed on. 2 Ki. 18:9
And 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
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
And Joab sounded the trumpet, and kept back the people from pursuing after Israel in their flight, being willing to spare the multitude. 2 Ki. 18:16
And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and they laid an exceeding great heap of stones upon him: but all Israel fled to their own dwellings. 2 Ki. 18:17
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 crying out he told the king: and the king said: If he be alone, there are good tidings in his mouth. And as he was coming apace, and drawing nearer, 2 Ki. 18:25
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
Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings. 2 Ki. 19:8
And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom. 2 Ki. 19:9
But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king? 2 Ki. 19:10
And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.) 2 Ki. 19:11
And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab. 2 Ki. 19:13
Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king. 2 Ki. 19:19
And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel? 2 Ki. 19:22
And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace. 2 Ki. 19:24
Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich. 2 Ki. 19:32
And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 19:33
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
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 there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Seba, the son of Bochri, a man of Jemini: and he sounded the trumpet, and said: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai: return to thy dwellings, O Israel. 2 Ki. 20:1
And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them inward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood. 2 Ki. 20:3
And when they were at the great stone which is in Gabaon, Amasa coming met them. And Joab had on a close coat of equal length with his habit, and over it was girded with a sword hanging down to his flank, in a scabbard, made in such manner as to come out with the least motion and strike. 2 Ki. 20:8
But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri. 2 Ki. 20:10
In the mean time some men of Joab's company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab's stead the companion of David. 2 Ki. 20:11
And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might, not stop on his account. 2 Ki. 20:12
And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls. 2 Ki. 20:15
And she again said: A saying was used in the old proverb: They that inquire, let them inquire in Abela: and so they made an end. 2 Ki. 20:18
Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest to destroy the city, and to overthrow a mother in Israel? Why wilt thou throw down the inheritance of the Lord? 2 Ki. 20:19
¤ And there was a famine in the days of David for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gabaonites. 2 Ki. 21:1
And they said to the king: The man that crushed us and oppressed us unjustly, we must destroy in such manner that there be not so much as one left of his stock in all the coasts of Israel. 2 Ki. 21:5
Let seven men of his children be delivered unto us, that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the chosen of the Lord. And the king said: I will give them. 2 Ki. 21:6
And gave them into the hands of the Gabaonites: and they crucified them on a hill before the Lord: and these seven died together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley began to be reaped. 2 Ki. 21:9
And David went, and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabes Galaad, who had stolen them from the street of Bethsan, where the Philistines had hanged them when they had slain Saul in Gelboe. 2 Ki. 21:12
And they buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did all that the king had commanded, and God shewed mercy again to the land after these things. 2 Ki. 21:14
There was also a second battle in Gob against the Philistines: then Sobochai of Husathi slew Saph of the race of Arapha of the family of the giants. 2 Ki. 21:18
And there was a third battle in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of the Forrest an embroiderer of Bethlehem slew Goliath the Gethite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 2 Ki. 21:19
A fourth battle was in Geth: where there was a man of great stature, that had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, four and twenty in all, and he was of the race of Arapha. 2 Ki. 21:20
These four were born of Arapha in Geth, and they fell by the hand of David, and of his servants. 2 Ki. 21:22
¤ And David spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul, 2 Ki. 22:1
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
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
He prevented me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my stay. 2 Ki. 22:19
For all his judgments are in my sight: and his precepts I have not removed from me. 2 Ki. 22:23
And the Lord will recompense me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands in the sight of his eyes. 2 Ki. 22:25
For in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the wall. 2 Ki. 22:30
God, his way is immaculate, the word of the Lord is tried by fire: he is the shield of all that trust in him. 2 Ki. 22:31
I will consume them and break them in pieces, so that they shall not rise: they shall fall under my feet. 2 Ki. 22:39
The strangers are melted away, and shall be straitened in their distresses. 2 Ki. 22:46
The God of Israel said to me, the strong one of Israel spoke, the ruler of men, the just ruler in the fear of God. 2 Ki. 23:3
As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds, and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain. 2 Ki. 23:4
Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up. 2 Ki. 23:5
These are the names of the valiant men of David: Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset. 2 Ki. 23:8
And after him was Semma the son of Age of Arari. And the Philistines were gathered together in a troop: for there was a field full of lentils. And when the people were fled from the face of the Philistines, 2 Ki. 23:11
He stood in the midst of the field, and defended it, and defeated the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great victory. 2 Ki. 23:12
Moreover also before this the three who were princes among the thirty, went down and came to David in the harvest time into the cave of Odollam: and the camp of the Philistines was in the valley of the giants. 2 Ki. 23:13
And David was then in a hold: and there was a garrison of the Philistines then in Bethlehem. 2 Ki. 23:14
And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate. 2 Ki. 23:15
And Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of great deeds, of Cabseel: he slew the two lions of Moab, and he went down, and slew a lion in the midst of a pit, in the time of snow. 2 Ki. 23:20
He also slew an Egyptian, a man worthy to be a sight, having a spear in his hand: but he went down to him with a rod, and forced the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear. 2 Ki. 23:21
Urias the Hethite, thirty and seven in all. 2 Ki. 23:39
And Joab said to the king: The Lord thy God increase thy people, and make them as many more as they are now, and again multiply them a hundredfold in the sight of my lord the king: but what meaneth my lord the king by this kind of thing? 2 Ki. 24:3
And when they had passed the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale of Gad. 2 Ki. 24:5
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
And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the seer of David, saying: 2 Ki. 24:11
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 Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite. 2 Ki. 24:18
‡ ¤ Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes he was not warm. 3 Ki. 1:1
His servants therefore, said to him: Let us seek for our Lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom and warm our lord the king. 3 Ki. 1:2
So they sought a beautiful young woman, in all the coasts of Israel and they found Abisag, a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king. 3 Ki. 1:3
Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom. 3 Ki. 1:6
Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to me, thy handmaid, saying: Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign? 3 Ki. 1:13
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
So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber. Now the king was very old, and Abisag, the Sunamitess, ministered to him. 3 Ki. 1:15
And they told the king, saying: Nathan, the prophet, is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground, 3 Ki. 1:23
And king David answered, and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him, 3 Ki. 1:28
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
King David also said: Call me Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king, 3 Ki. 1:32
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
And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end. Joab also, hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar? 3 Ki. 1:41
While he yet spoke, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, the priest, came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news. 3 Ki. 1:42
And Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard. 3 Ki. 1:45
And the king's servants going in, have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed: 3 Ki. 1:47
And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die. 3 Ki. 1:52
Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in, he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house. 3 Ki. 1:53
And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and observe his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayst understand all thou dost, and whithersoever thou shalt turn thyself: 3 Ki. 2:3
That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel. 3 Ki. 2:4
Thou knowest also what Joab, the son of Sarvia, hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 3 Ki. 2:5
Do, therefore, according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down to hell in peace. 3 Ki. 2:6
So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 3 Ki. 2:10
And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three. 3 Ki. 2:11
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
So Solomon cast out Abiathar from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Silo. 3 Ki. 2:27
So Banaias, the son of Joiada, went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert. 3 Ki. 2:34
And the king appointed Banaias, the son of Joiada in his room over the army; and Sadoc, the priest, he put in the place of Abiathar. 3 Ki. 2:35
The king also sent, and called for Semei, and said to him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there: and go not out from thence any where. 3 Ki. 2:36
And Semei said to the king: The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. 3 Ki. 2:38
¤ And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon, and he made affinity with Pharao, the king of Egypt: for he took his daughter, and brought her into the city of David: until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. 3 Ki. 3:1
But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: for there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day. 3 Ki. 3:2
And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David, his father; only he sacrificed in the high places, and burnt incense. 3 Ki. 3:3
He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts, did Solomon offer upon that altar, in Gabaon. 3 Ki. 3:4
And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee. 3 Ki. 3:5
And Solomon said: Thou hast shewed great mercy to thy servant David, my father, even as he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 3 Ki. 3:6
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
And thy servant is in the midst of the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 3 Ki. 3:8
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 this woman's child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him. 3 Ki. 3:19
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
And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayest, but thy child is dead, and mine is alive. On the contrary, she said; Thou liest: for my child liveth, and thy child is dead. And in this manner they strove before the king. 3 Ki. 3:22
Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other. 3 Ki. 3:25
And all Israel heard the judgment which the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment. 3 Ki. 3:28
And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and for his house hold: for every one provided necessaries, each man his month in the year. 3 Ki. 4:7
And these are their names: Benhur, in mount Ephraim. 3 Ki. 4:8
Bendecar, in Macces, and in Salebim, and in Bethsames, and in Elon, and in Bethanan. 3 Ki. 4:9
Benhesed, in Aruboth: his was Socho, and all the land of Epher. 3 Ki. 4:10
Bengaber, in Ramoth Galaad: he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasses, in Galaad: he was chief in all the country of Argob, which is in Basan, threescore great cities with walls, and brazen bolts. 3 Ki. 4:13
Ahinadab, the son of Addo, was chief in Manaim. 3 Ki. 4:14
Achimaas, in Nephthali: he also had Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, to wife. 3 Ki. 4:15
Baana, the son of Husi, in Aser, and in Baloth. 3 Ki. 4:16
Josaphat, the son of Pharue, in Issachar. 3 Ki. 4:17
Semei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin. 3 Ki. 4:18
Gaber, the son of Uri, in the land of Galaad, in the land of Sehon, the king of the Amorrhites, and of Og, the king of Basan, over all that were in that land. 3 Ki. 4:19
Juda and Israel were innumerable, as the sand of the sea in multitude; eating and drinking, and rejoicing. 3 Ki. 4:20
And the foresaid governors of the king fed them; and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon's table, with great care, in their time. 3 Ki. 4:27
And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda, the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about. 3 Ki. 4:31
And he treated about trees, from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 3 Ki. 4:33
¤ And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David's friend. 3 Ki. 5:1
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
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
And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain: 3 Ki. 5:15
Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand and three hundred, that ruled over the people, and them that did the work. 3 Ki. 5:16
¤ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio, (the same is the second month) he began to build a house to the Lord. 3 Ki. 6:1
And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height. 3 Ki. 6:2
And there was a porch before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth, before the face of the temple. 3 Ki. 6:3
And he made in the temple oblique windows. 3 Ki. 6:4
And upon the wall of the temple, he built floors round about, in the walls of the house, round about the temple and the oracle, and he made chambers in the sides round about. 3 Ki. 6:5
The floor that was underneath was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third floor was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple. 3 Ki. 6:6
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones, hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building. 3 Ki. 6:7
And he built a floor over all the house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar. 3 Ki. 6:10
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
And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought, and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all. 3 Ki. 6:18
And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 3 Ki. 6:19
Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered it, and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar. 3 Ki. 6:20
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold. 3 Ki. 6:22
And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height. 3 Ki. 6:23
One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing. 3 Ki. 6:24
The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims: 3 Ki. 6:25
That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub. 3 Ki. 6:26
And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another. 3 Ki. 6:27
And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall. 3 Ki. 6:29
And in the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners, 3 Ki. 6:31
And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare: 3 Ki. 6:33
And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule. 3 Ki. 6:35
In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded, in the month Zio: 3 Ki. 6:37
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul. (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it. 3 Ki. 6:38
¤ And Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and brought it to perfection. 3 Ki. 7:1
And looking one upon another, with equal space between the pillars, and over the pillars were square beams in all things equal. 3 Ki. 7:5
And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch, and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars. 3 Ki. 7:6
And in the midst of the porch, was a small house, where he sat in judgment of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch; 3 Ki. 7:8
And above there were costly stones of equal measure hewed, and in like manner planks of cedar. 3 Ki. 7:11
And the great court was made round with three rows of hewed stones, and one row of planks of cedar, which also was observed in the inner court of the house of the Lord, and in the porch of the house. 3 Ki. 7:12
The son of a widow woman, of the tribe of Nephthali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artificer in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and skill to work all work in brass. And when he was come to king Solomon, he wrought all his work. 3 Ki. 7:14
And he cast two pillars in brass, each pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits compassed both the pillars. 3 Ki. 7:15
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about each network to cover the chapiters, that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and in like manner did he to the other chapiter. 3 Ki. 7:18
And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in the porch of four cubits. 3 Ki. 7:19
And again there were other chapiters on the top of the pillars above, according to the measure of the pillar over against the network: and of pomegranates there were two hundred, in rows round about the other chapiter. 3 Ki. 7:20
And he set up the two pillars in the porch of the temple: and when he had set up the pillar on the right hand, he called the name thereof Jachin: in like manner he set up the second pillar, and called the name thereof Booz. 3 Ki. 7:21
And he made ten bases of brass, every base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in breadth, and three cubits high. 3 Ki. 7:27
And between the little crowns and the ledges, were lions, and oxen, and cherubims; and in the joinings likewise above: and under the lions and oxen, as it were bands of brass hanging down. 3 Ki. 7:29
The mouth also of the laver within, was in the top of the chapiter: and that which appeared without, was of one cubit all round, and together it was one cubit and a half: and in the corners of the pillars were divers engravings: and the spaces between the pillars were square, not round. 3 Ki. 7:31
And they were such wheels as are used to be made in a chariot: and their axletrees, and spokes, and strakes, and naves, were all cast. 3 Ki. 7:33
And in the top of the base, there was a round compass of half a cubit, so wrought that the laver might be set thereon, having its gravings, and divers sculptures of itself. 3 Ki. 7:35
He engraved also in those plates, which were of brass, and in the corners, cherubims, and lions, and palm trees, in likeness of a man standing, so that they seemed not to be engraven, but added round about. 3 Ki. 7:36
He made also ten lavers of brass: one laver contained four bases, and was of four cubits: and upon every base, in all ten, he put as many lavers. 3 Ki. 7:38
And Hiram made cauldrons, and shovels, and basins, and finished all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord. 3 Ki. 7:40
In the plains of the Jordan, did the king cast them in a clay ground, between Socoth and Sartham. 3 Ki. 7:46
And Solomon finished all the work that he made in the house of the Lord, and brought in the things that David, his father, had dedicated, the silver and the gold, and the vessels, and laid them up in the treasures of the house of the Lord. 3 Ki. 7:51
¤ Then all the ancients of Israel, with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel, were assembled to king Solomon, in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion. 3 Ki. 8:1
And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon, on the festival day, in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month. 3 Ki. 8:2
And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them. 3 Ki. 8:4
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubims. 3 Ki. 8:6
And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without, in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day. 3 Ki. 8:8
Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 3 Ki. 8:9
Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud. 3 Ki. 8:12
And the Lord said to David, my father: Whereas, thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind. 3 Ki. 8:18
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 Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord, in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven, 3 Ki. 8:22
And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that have walked before thee with all their heart: 3 Ki. 8:23
Now, therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David, my father, what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight. 3 Ki. 8:25
That thy eyes may be open upon this house, night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayst hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth, in this place to thee: 3 Ki. 8:29
That thou mayst hearken to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy. 3 Ki. 8:30
Then hear thou in heaven: and do and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice. 3 Ki. 8:32
If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies (because they will sin against thee) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house: 3 Ki. 8:33
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers. 3 Ki. 8:34
If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions: 3 Ki. 8:35
Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession. 3 Ki. 8:36
If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew; if their enemy afflict them, besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity, 3 Ki. 8:37
Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house; 3 Ki. 8:38
Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men) 3 Ki. 8:39
And thy stretched out arm) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place, 3 Ki. 8:42
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
And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them. 3 Ki. 8:45
Then if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and being converted, make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness: 3 Ki. 8:47
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
Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them: 3 Ki. 8:49
That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee. 3 Ki. 8:52

Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day. 3 Ki. 8:61
In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings. 3 Ki. 8:64
And on the eighth day, he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for all the good things that the Lord had done for David, his servant, and for Israel, his people. 3 Ki. 8:66
That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon. 3 Ki. 9:2

And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains. 3 Ki. 10:27
Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come into yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love. 3 Ki. 11:2
And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods. 3 Ki. 11:8
Nevertheless, in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 3 Ki. 11:12
And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad, the Edomite, of the king's seed, in Edom. 3 Ki. 11:14
For when David was in Edom, and Joab, the general of the army, was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom, 3 Ki. 11:15
(For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom,) 3 Ki. 11:16
And the sister of Taphnes bore him his son, Genubath; and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children. 3 Ki. 11:20
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 gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus. 3 Ki. 11:24
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel; and he reigned in Syria. 3 Ki. 11:25
So it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias, the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the field. 3 Ki. 11:29
Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos, the god of Moab, and Moloch, the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments, as did David, his father. 3 Ki. 11:33
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
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
Solomon, therefore, sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt, to Sesac, the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon. 3 Ki. 11:40
And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon. 3 Ki. 11:41
And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were forty years. 3 Ki. 11:42
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, his father; and Roboam, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 11:43
But Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt. 3 Ki. 12:2
And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat. 3 Ki. 12:15
Then the people, seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel: now, David, look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings. 3 Ki. 12:16
But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them. 3 Ki. 12:17
And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence, he built Phanuel. 3 Ki. 12:25
And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David, 3 Ki. 12:26
If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam, the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him. 3 Ki. 12:27
And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan: 3 Ki. 12:29
And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. 3 Ki. 12:31
And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made. 3 Ki. 12:32
And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went up on the altar to burn incense. 3 Ki. 12:33
And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men's bones upon thee. 3 Ki. 13:2
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him, withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him. 3 Ki. 13:4
The altar also was rent, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given before in the word of the Lord. 3 Ki. 13:5
And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldst give me half thy house, I will not go with thee, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place: 3 Ki. 13:8
Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him, and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 3 Ki. 13:11
But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place: 3 Ki. 13:16
Because the Lord spoke to me, in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest. 3 Ki. 13:17
He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me, in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him, 3 Ki. 13:18
And brought him back with him: so he ate bread, and drank water in his house. 3 Ki. 13:19
And hast returned, and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers. 3 Ki. 13:22
And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body. 3 Ki. 13:24
And behold, men passing by, saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt. 3 Ki. 13:25
And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass. 3 Ki. 13:28
And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas, my brother. 3 Ki. 13:30
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones. 3 Ki. 13:31
For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord, against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria. 3 Ki. 13:32
And the Lord said to Ahias: Behold the wife of Jeroboam cometh in, to consult thee concerning her son, that is sick: thus and thus shalt thou speak to her. So when she was coming in, and made as if she were another woman, 3 Ki. 14:5
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
And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant, David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight: 3 Ki. 14:8
Therefore, behold I will bring evils upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel: and I will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as dung is swept away till all be clean. 3 Ki. 14:10
Them that shall die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that shall die in the field, the birds of the air shall devour: for the Lord hath spoken it. 3 Ki. 14:11
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, because in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 3 Ki. 14:13
And the Lord hath appointed himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam in this day, and in this time: 3 Ki. 14:14
And the Lord God shall strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water: and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river: because they have made to themselves groves, to provoke the Lord. 3 Ki. 14:15
And the wife of Jeroboam arose, and departed, and came to Thersa: and when she was coming in to the threshold of the house, the child died, 3 Ki. 14:17
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel. 3 Ki. 14:19
And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 14:20
And Roboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess. 3 Ki. 14:21
And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed. 3 Ki. 14:22
There were also the effeminate in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people, whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel. 3 Ki. 14:24
And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem. 3 Ki. 14:25
Now the rest of the acts of Roboam, and all that he did, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda. 3 Ki. 14:29
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them, in the city of David: and his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess: and Abiam, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 14:31
¤ Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda. 3 Ki. 15:1
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. 3 Ki. 15:2
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father. 3 Ki. 15:3
But for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: 3 Ki. 15:4
Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias, the Hethite. 3 Ki. 15:5
And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam. 3 Ki. 15:7
And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 15:8
So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Asa, king of Juda, 3 Ki. 15:9
And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. 3 Ki. 15:10
And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father: 3 Ki. 15:11
Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron: 3 Ki. 15:13
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels. 3 Ki. 15:15
And Baasa, king of Israel, went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in of the side of Asa, king of Juda. 3 Ki. 15:17
Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad, son of Tabremon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying: 3 Ki. 15:18
But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 3 Ki. 15:23
And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Josaphat, his son, reigned in his place. 3 Ki. 15:24
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 15:26
And Baasa, the son of Ahias, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon. 3 Ki. 15:27
So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa, king of Juda, and reigned in his place. 3 Ki. 15:28
And when he was king, he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite: 3 Ki. 15:29
But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 15:31
In the third year of Asa, king of Juda, Baasa, the son of Ahias, reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years. 3 Ki. 15:33
And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 15:34
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
Him that dieth of Baasa, in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour. 3 Ki. 16:4
But the rest of the acts of Baasa, and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:5
So Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 16:6
And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him; that is to say, Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet. 3 Ki. 16:7
In the six and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Ela, the son of Baasa, reigned over Israel, in Thersa, two years. 3 Ki. 16:8
And his servant Zambri, who was captain of half the horsemen, rebelled against him: now Ela was drinking in Thersa, and drunk in the house of Arsa, the governor of Thersa. 3 Ki. 16:9
And Zambri rushing in, struck him, and slew him, in the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda and he reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 16:10
And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa, in the hand of Jehu, the prophet, 3 Ki. 16:12
But the rest of the acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:14
In the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon, a city of the Philistines. 3 Ki. 16:15
And when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day. 3 Ki. 16:16
In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 16:19
But the rest of the acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:20
In the one and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years. 3 Ki. 16:23
And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that were before him. 3 Ki. 16:25
And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities. 3 Ki. 16:26
Now the rest of the acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:27
And Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 16:28
Now Achab, the son of Amri, reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda. And Achab, the son of Amri, reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty years. 3 Ki. 16:29
And Achab, the son of Amri, did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him. 3 Ki. 16:30
Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. And he went, and served Baal, and adored him. 3 Ki. 16:31
And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria; 3 Ki. 16:32
In his days Hiel, of Bethel, built Jericho: in Abiram, his firstborn, he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son, Segub, he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue, the son of Nun. 3 Ki. 16:34
¤ And Elias the Thesbite, of the inhabitants of Galaad, said to Achab: As the Lord liveth, the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth. 3 Ki. 17:1
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent. 3 Ki. 17:6
He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 3 Ki. 17:10
And when she was going to fetch it, he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand. 3 Ki. 17:11
And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruise: behold I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it and die. 3 Ki. 17:12
The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruise of oil was not diminished according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias. 3 Ki. 17:16
And it came to pass after this, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him. 3 Ki. 17:17
And the woman said to Elias: Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true. 3 Ki. 17:24
¤ After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elias, in the third year, saying: Go, and shew thyself to Achab, that I may give rain upon the face of the earth. 3 Ki. 18:1
And Elias went to shew himself to Achab, and there was a grievous famine in Samaria. 3 Ki. 18:2
For when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, he took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water. 3 Ki. 18:4
And as Abdias was in the way, Elias met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: Art thou my lord Elias? 3 Ki. 18:7
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab; and he, not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy. 3 Ki. 18:12
Hath it not been told thee, my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord; how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water? 3 Ki. 18:13
Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it. 3 Ki. 18:23
And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a god; and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey; or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked. 3 Ki. 18:27
And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood. 3 Ki. 18:33
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 3 Ki. 18:38
And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat. 3 Ki. 19:5
And he arose, and ate and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb. 3 Ki. 19:8
And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave, and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias? 3 Ki. 19:9
And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord, overthrowing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: but the Lord is not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: but the Lord is not in the earthquake. 3 Ki. 19:11
And after the earthquake, a fire: but the Lord is not in the fire. And after the fire, a whistling of a gentle air. 3 Ki. 19:12
And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth, stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered: 3 Ki. 19:13
And thou shalt anoint Jehu, the son of Namsi, to be king over Israel: and Eliseus, the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room. 3 Ki. 19:16
And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him, kissing the hands. 3 Ki. 19:18
To morrow, therefore, at this same hour, I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away. 3 Ki. 20:6
And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it. 3 Ki. 20:12
And they went out at noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help him. 3 Ki. 20:16
But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome them. 3 Ki. 20:23
Do thou, therefore, this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead: 3 Ki. 20:24
And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses, according to the former horses, and chariots, according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel, and did so. 3 Ki. 20:25
And both sides set their armies in array one against the other seven days, and on the seventh day the battle was fought: and the children of Israel slew, of the Syrians, a hundred thousand footmen in one day. 3 Ki. 20:29
The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot. 3 Ki. 20:33
And he said to him: The cities which my father took from thy father, I will restore: and do thou make thee streets in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria and having made a league, I will depart from thee. So he made a league with him, and let him go. 3 Ki. 20:34
Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said to his companion, in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike. 3 Ki. 20:35
So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes. 3 Ki. 20:38
And whilst I, in a hurry, turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed. 3 Ki. 20:40
¤ And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard, near the palace of Achab, king of Samaria. 3 Ki. 21:1
And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 3 Ki. 21:2
And Jezabel, his wife, went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread? 3 Ki. 21:5
So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth. 3 Ki. 21:8
And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them; 3 Ki. 21:11
Arise, and go down to meet Achab, king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it: 3 Ki. 21:18
And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast slain: moreover also thou hast taken possession. And after these words thou shalt add: Thus saith the Lord: In this place, wherein the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick thy blood also. 3 Ki. 21:19
And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord. 3 Ki. 21:20
Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel. 3 Ki. 21:21
And of Jezabel also, the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel. 3 Ki. 21:23
If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him. 3 Ki. 21:24
Now, there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife, Jezabel, set him on, 3 Ki. 21:25
And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down. 3 Ki. 21:27
Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself, for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. 3 Ki. 21:29
And in the third year, Josaphat, king of Juda, came down to the king of Israel. 3 Ki. 22:2
And the king of Israel, and Josaphat, king of Juda, sat each on his throne, clothed with royal robes, in a court, by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them. 3 Ki. 22:10
And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king's hands. 3 Ki. 22:12
But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true, in the name of the Lord. 3 Ki. 22:16
And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd; and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace. 3 Ki. 22:17
And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit, in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so. 3 Ki. 22:22
Now, therefore, behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee. 3 Ki. 22:23
And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself. 3 Ki. 22:25
And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress till I return in peace. 3 Ki. 22:27
And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people. 3 Ki. 22:28
And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. 3 Ki. 22:35
And the king died, and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria. 3 Ki. 22:37
And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken. 3 Ki. 22:38
But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 22:39
So Achab slept with his fathers; and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 22:40
But Josaphat, the son of Asa, began to reign over Juda, in the fourth year of Acbab, king of Israel. 3 Ki. 22:41
He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba, the daughter of Salai. 3 Ki. 22:42
And he walked in all the way of Asa, his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless, he took not away the high places for as yet the people offered sacrifice, and burnt incense in the high places. 3 Ki. 22:43
But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 3 Ki. 22:45
And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took out of the land. 3 Ki. 22:46
And there was then no king appointed in Edom. 3 Ki. 22:47
But king Josaphat made navies on the sea, to sail into Ophir for gold: but they could not go, for the ships were broken in Asiongaber. 3 Ki. 22:48
Then Ochozias, the son of Achab, said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not. 3 Ki. 22:49
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father: and Joram, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 22:50
And Ochozias, the son of Achab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Josaphat, king of Juda, and he reigned over Israel two years. 3 Ki. 22:51
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 22:52
And Ochozias fell through the lattices of his upper chamber, which he had in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, saying to them: Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my illness. 4 Ki. 1:2
And an angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, the Thesbite, saying: Arise, and go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them: Is there not a God in Israel, that ye go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron? 4 Ki. 1:3
But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel, that thou sendest to Beelzebub, the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but thou shalt surely die. 4 Ki. 1:6
And said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, as though there were not a God in Israel, of whom thou mightest inquire the word; therefore, from the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die. 4 Ki. 1:16
So he died, according to the word of the Lord, which Elias spoke; and Joram, his brother, reigned in his stead, in the second year of Joram, the son of Josaphat, king of Juda, because he had no son. 4 Ki. 1:17
But the rest of the acts of Ochozias, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 4 Ki. 1:18
And fifty men, of the sons of the prophets, followed them, and stood in sight, at a distance: but they two stood by the Jordan. 4 Ki. 2:7
And when they were gone over, Elias said to Eliseus: Ask what thou wilt have me to do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Eliseus said: I beseech thee, that in me may be thy double spirit. 4 Ki. 2:9
And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces. 4 Ki. 2:12
He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness. 4 Ki. 2:21
And looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them, two and forty boys. 4 Ki. 2:24
¤ And Joram the son of Achab, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Josaphat, king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years. 4 Ki. 3:1
And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat, king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee. 4 Ki. 3:14
And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover, he will deliver, also, Moab into your hands. 4 Ki. 3:18
And it came to pass, in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. 4 Ki. 3:20
And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders. 4 Ki. 3:21
And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood, 4 Ki. 3:22
And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not. 4 Ki. 3:26
Then he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country. 4 Ki. 3:27
And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I, thy handmaid, have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me. 4 Ki. 4:2
And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full, take them away. 4 Ki. 4:4
So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in. 4 Ki. 4:5
Let us, therefore, make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us he may abide there. 4 Ki. 4:10
He said to his servant: Say to her: Behold, thou hast diligently served us in all things; what wilt thou have me to do for thee? Hast thou any business, and wilt thou, that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people. 4 Ki. 4:13
He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life be in company, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid. 4 Ki. 4:16
And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour that Eliseus had said. 4 Ki. 4:17
And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going: And do that which I bid thee. 4 Ki. 4:24
And when she came to the man of God, to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 4 Ki. 4:27
Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child. 4 Ki. 4:29
And going in, he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord. 4 Ki. 4:33
Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes. 4 Ki. 4:35
And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son. 4 Ki. 4:36
And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him: And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets. 4 Ki. 4:38
And they poured it out for their companions to eat: and when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out, saying: Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat thereof. 4 Ki. 4:40
But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot. 4 Ki. 4:41
And a certain man came from Baalsalisa, bringing to the man of God, bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat. 4 Ki. 4:42
And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath. 4 Ki. 5:3
Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said the girl from the land of Israel. 4 Ki. 5:4
And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman, my servant, that thou mayst heal him of his leprosy. 4 Ki. 5:6
And when Eliseus, the man of God, had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel. 4 Ki. 5:8
And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thou shalt be clean. 4 Ki. 5:10
Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation, 4 Ki. 5:12
Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child: and he was made clean. 4 Ki. 5:14
And returning to the man of God, with all his train, he came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee, therefore, take a blessing of thy servant. 4 Ki. 5:15
But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant; when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand: if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me, thy servant, for this thing. 4 Ki. 5:18
And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him, in the spring time of the earth. 4 Ki. 5:19
But Giezi, the servant of the man of God, said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take something of him. 4 Ki. 5:20
And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him. 4 Ki. 5:23
And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed. 4 Ki. 5:24
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither. 4 Ki. 5:25
Let us go as far as the Jordan, and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go. 4 Ki. 6:2
And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place: Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam. 4 Ki. 6:6
And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place, let us lay an ambush. 4 Ki. 6:8
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush. 4 Ki. 6:9
And one of his servants said: No one, my lord, O king: but Eliseus, the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber. 4 Ki. 6:12
And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send and take him. And they told him: saying: Behold he is in Dothan. 4 Ki. 6:13
And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria. 4 Ki. 6:20
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon's dung, for five pieces of silver. 4 Ki. 6:25
But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him. 4 Ki. 6:32
¤ And Eliseus said: Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord: Tomorrow, about this time, a bushel of fine flour shall be sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, in the gate of Samaria. 4 Ki. 7:1
Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest? And he said: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 4 Ki. 7:2
Now there were four lepers, at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another: What mean we to stay here till we die? 4 Ki. 7:3
So they arose in the evening, to go to the Syrian camp. And when they were come to the first part of the camp of the Syrians, they found no man there. 4 Ki. 7:5
For the Lord had made them hear, in the camp of Syria, the noise of chariots, and of horses, and of a very great army: and they said one to another: Behold, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hethites, and of the Egyptians; and they are come upon us. 4 Ki. 7:6
Wherefore they arose, and fled away in the dark, and left their tents, and their horses and asses in the camp, and fled, desiring to save their lives. 4 Ki. 7:7
So when these lepers were come to the beginning of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank: and they took from thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went, and hid it: and they came again, and went into another tent, and carried from thence in like manner, and hid it. 4 Ki. 7:8
Then they said one to another: We do not well: for this is a day of good tidings. If we hold our peace, and do not tell it till the morning, we shall be charged with a crime: come, let us go, and tell it in the king's court. 4 Ki. 7:9
Then the guards of the gate went, and told it within in the king's palace. 4 Ki. 7:11
And he arose in the night, and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city. 4 Ki. 7:12
And one of his servants answered: Let us take the five horses that are remaining in the city (because there are no more in the whole multitude of Israel, for the rest are consumed), and let us send and see. 4 Ki. 7:13
And they went after them, as far as the Jordan: and behold, all the way was full of garments, and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away, in their fright, and the messengers returned, and told the king. 4 Ki. 7:15
And the king appointed that lord on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: and the people trod upon him in the entrance of the gate; and he died, as the man of God had said, when the king came down to him. 4 Ki. 7:17
And it came to pass, according to the word of the man of God, which he spoke to the king, when he said: Two bushels of barley shall be for a stater, and a bushel of fine flour for a stater, at this very time tomorrow, in the gate of Samaria. 4 Ki. 7:18
When that lord answered the man of God, and said: Although the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, could this come to pass which thou sayest? And he said to him: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, and shalt not eat thereof. 4 Ki. 7:19
And so it fell out to him, as it was foretold, and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died. 4 Ki. 7:20
And she arose, and did according to the word of the man of God: and going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days. 4 Ki. 8:2
And on the next day, he took a blanket, and poured water on it, and spread it upon his face: and he died, and Hazael reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 8:15
In the fifth year of Joram, son of Achab, king of Israel, and of Josaphat, king of Juda, reigned Joram, son of Josaphat, king of Juda. 4 Ki. 8:16
He was two and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 8:17
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. 4 Ki. 8:18
In his days Edom revolted from being under Juda, and made themselves a king. 4 Ki. 8:20
And Joram came to Seira, and all the chariots with him: and he arose in the night, and defeated the Edomites that had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots, but the people fled into their tents. 4 Ki. 8:21
But the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 8:23
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 8:24
In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Achab, king of Israel, reigned Ochozias, son of Joram, king of Juda. 4 Ki. 8:25
Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri king of Israel. 4 Ki. 8:26
And he walked in the ways of the house of Achab: and he did evil before the Lord, as did the house of Achab: for he was the son in law of the house of Achab. 4 Ki. 8:27
He went also with Joram, son of Achab, to fight against Hazael, king of Syria, in Ramoth Galaad, and the Syrians wounded Joram: 4 Ki. 8:28
And he went back to be healed, in Jezrahel: because the Syrians had wounded him in Ramoth, when he fought against Hazael, king of Syria And Ochozias, the son of Joram, king of Juda, went down to visit Joram, the son of Achab, in Jezrahel, because he was sick there. 4 Ki. 8:29
¤ And Eliseus the prophet, called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him: Gird up thy loins, and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth Galaad. 4 Ki. 9:1
And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in, thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber. 4 Ki. 9:2
And went in thither: and behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince. 4 Ki. 9:5
And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab, him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel. 4 Ki. 9:8
And the dogs shall eat Jezabel, in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled. 4 Ki. 9:10
And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds; for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel. 4 Ki. 9:15
So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not. 4 Ki. 9:18
And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot: and Joram, king of Israel, and Ochozias, king of Juda, went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth, the Jezrahelite. 4 Ki. 9:21
And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel, thy mother, and her many sorceries, are in their vigour. 4 Ki. 9:22
But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot. 4 Ki. 9:24
And Jehu said to Badacer, his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezrahelite: for I remember, when I and thou, sitting in a chariot, followed Achab, this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying: 4 Ki. 9:25
If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord. 4 Ki. 9:26
But Ochozias, king of Juda, seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there. 4 Ki. 9:27
And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers, in the city of David. 4 Ki. 9:28
In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda; 4 Ki. 9:29
And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel, hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window. 4 Ki. 9:30
At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master? 4 Ki. 9:31
And when he was come in to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her; because she is a king's daughter. 4 Ki. 9:34
And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias, the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel. 4 Ki. 9:36
And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel; so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel? 4 Ki. 9:37
¤ And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab's children, saying: 4 Ki. 10:1
And when the letters came to them, they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezrahel. 4 Ki. 10:7
And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning. 4 Ki. 10:8
See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias. 4 Ki. 10:10

Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. 4 Ki. 20:17
And of thy sons also that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 4 Ki. 20:18
Ezechias said to Isaias: The word of the Lord, which thou hast spoken, is good: let peace and truth be in my days. 4 Ki. 20:19
And the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought waters into the city, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 20:20
And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses, his son reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 20:21
¤ Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Haphsiba. 4 Ki. 21:1
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the idols of the nations, which the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel. 4 Ki. 21:2
And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I will put my name. 4 Ki. 21:4
And he built altars for all the host of heaven, in the two courts of the temple of the Lord. 4 Ki. 21:5
He set also an idol of the grove, which he had made, in the temple of the Lord: concerning which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever. 4 Ki. 21:7
And the Lord spoke in the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying: 4 Ki. 21:10
Now the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin, which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 21:17
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Oza: and Amon, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 21:18
Two and twenty years old was Amon when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Messalemeth, the daughter of Harus, of Jeteba. 4 Ki. 21:19
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses, his father, had done. 4 Ki. 21:20
And he walked in all the way in which his father had walked: and he served the abominations which his father had served, and he adored them. 4 Ki. 21:21
And forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord. 4 Ki. 21:22
And his servants plotted against him, and slew the king in his own house. 4 Ki. 21:23
But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon: and made Josias, his son, their king in his stead. 4 Ki. 21:24
But the rest of the acts of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 21:25
And they buried him in his sepulchre, in the garden of Oza: and his son, Josias, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 21:26
¤ Josias was eight years old when he began to reign: he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Idida, the daughter of Hadaia, of Besecath. 4 Ki. 22:1
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of David, his father: he turned not aside to the right hand, or to the left. 4 Ki. 22:2
And in the eighteenth year of king Josias, the king sent Saphan, the son of Assia, the son of Messulam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him: 4 Ki. 22:3
And let it be given to the workmen by the overseers of the house of the Lord: and let them distribute it to those that work in the temple of the Lord, to repair the temple: 4 Ki. 22:5
But let there be no reckoning made with them of the money which they receive, but let them have it in their power, and in their trust. 4 Ki. 22:7
And Helcias, the high priest, said to Saphan, the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and Helcias gave the book to Saphan, and he read it. 4 Ki. 22:8
And Saphan, the scribe, came to the king, and brought him word again concerning that which he had commanded, and said: Thy servants have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord: and they have given it to be distributed to the workmen, by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord. 4 Ki. 22:9
So Helcias, the priest, and Ahicam, and Achobor, and Saphan, and Asaia, went to Holda, the prophetess, the wife of Sellum, the son of Thecua, the son of Araas, keeper of the wardrobe, who dwelt in Jerusalem, in the Second: and they spoke to her. 4 Ki. 22:14
Therefore I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy sepulchre in peace; that thy eyes may not see all the evils which I will bring upon this place. 4 Ki. 22:20
And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord. 4 Ki. 23:2
And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant. 4 Ki. 23:3
And the king commanded Helcias, the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem, in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel. 4 Ki. 23:4
And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven. 4 Ki. 23:5
He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove. 4 Ki. 23:7
And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue, governor of the city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city. 4 Ki. 23:8
However, the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord, in Jerusalem: but only eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren. 4 Ki. 23:9
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son, or his daughter, through fire, to Moloch. 4 Ki. 23:10
And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire. 4 Ki. 23:11
And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron. 4 Ki. 23:12
And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men. 4 Ki. 23:14
And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things. 4 Ki. 23:16
Moreover all the temples of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel. 4 Ki. 23:19
And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the Phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant. 4 Ki. 23:21
Now there was no such a Phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda, 4 Ki. 23:22
As was this Phase, that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias. 4 Ki. 23:23
Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book, which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord. 4 Ki. 23:24
Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 23:28
In his days Pharao Nechao, king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him. 4 Ki. 23:29
And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz, the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead. 4 Ki. 23:30
Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobna. 4 Ki. 23:31
And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. 4 Ki. 23:33
And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim, the son of Josias, king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there. 4 Ki. 23:34
Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida, the daughter of Phadaia, of Ruma. 4 Ki. 23:36
¤ In his days Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon came up, and Joakim became his servant three years: then again he rebelled against him. 4 Ki. 24:1
But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers: 4 Ki. 24:5
And Joachin, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 24:6
Joachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Nohesta, the daughter of Elnathan, of Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 24:8
And Joachin, king of Juda, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his nobles, and his eunuchs: and the king of Babylon received him in the eighth year of his reign. 4 Ki. 24:12
And he brought out from thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house: and he cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon, king of Israel, had made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord. 4 Ki. 24:13
And he appointed Matthanias, his uncle, in his stead: and called his name Sedecias. 4 Ki. 24:17
Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobna. 4 Ki. 24:18
¤ And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it. 4 Ki. 25:1
The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. 4 Ki. 25:3
And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king's garden (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about), and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness. 4 Ki. 25:4
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him: 4 Ki. 25:5
In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan, commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 25:8
And Nabuzardan, the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people, that remained in the city, and the fugitives, that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people. 4 Ki. 25:11
And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon. 4 Ki. 25:13
Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold: and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away. 4 Ki. 25:15
That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. 4 Ki. 25:16
And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the captain of the army, who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city: 4 Ki. 25:19
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha, in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land. 4 Ki. 25:21
But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, had left, he gave the government to Godolias, the son of Ahicam, the son of Saphan. 4 Ki. 25:22
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. 4 Ki. 25:24
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael, the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama, of the seed royal came, and ten men with him, and smote Godolias; so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha. 4 Ki. 25:25
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin, king of Juda, in the twelfth month, the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach, king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin, king of Juda, out of prison. 4 Ki. 25:27
And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon. 4 Ki. 25:28
And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life. 4 Ki. 25:29

He made also ten lavers: and he set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they were to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 2 Par. 4:6
And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 2 Par. 4:7
Moreover also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold. 2 Par. 4:8
He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass. 2 Par. 4:9
And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king's work in the house of God: 2 Par. 4:11
And the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass. 2 Par. 4:16
In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha. 2 Par. 4:17
The vessels also for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the mortars, of pure gold. And he graved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the holy of holies: and the doors of the temple without were of gold. And thus all the work was finished which Solomon made in the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 4:22
¤ Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God. 2 Par. 5:1
And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month. 2 Par. 5:3
And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle. 2 Par. 5:5
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims: 2 Par. 5:7
So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves. 2 Par. 5:8
And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming out of Egypt. 2 Par. 5:10
¤ Then Solomon said: The Lord promised that he would dwell in a cloud. 2 Par. 6:1
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath accomplished in deed that which he spoke to David my father, saying: 2 Par. 6:4
From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my people Israel. 2 Par. 6:5
The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will: 2 Par. 6:8
The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place 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 God of Israel. 2 Par. 6:10
And I have put in it the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel. 2 Par. 6:11
And he stood before the altar of the Lord, in presence of all the multitude of Israel, and stretched forth his hands. 2 Par. 6:12
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, and had set it in the midst of the temple, which was five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high: and he stood upon it: then kneeling down in the presence of all the multitude of Israel, and lifting up his hands towards heaven, 2 Par. 6:13
He said: O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven nor in earth: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 2 Par. 6:14
Who hast performed to thy servant David my father all that thou hast promised him: and hast accomplished in fact, what thou hast spoken with thy mouth, as also the present time proveth. 2 Par. 6:15
Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfil to thy servant David my father, whatsoever thou hast promised him, saying: There shall not fail thee a man in my sight, to sit upon the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their ways, and walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. 2 Par. 6:16
And that thou wouldst hear the prayer which thy servant prayeth in it: hearken then to the prayers of thy servant, and of thy people Israel. Whosoever shall pray in this place, hear thou from thy dwelling place, that is, from heaven, and shew mercy. 2 Par. 6:21
If any man sin against his neighbour, and come to swear against him, and bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house: 2 Par. 6:22
If thy people Israel be overcome by their enemies, (for they will sin against thee,) and being converted shall do penance, and call upon thy name, and pray to thee in this place, 2 Par. 6:24
If the heavens be shut up, and there fall no rain by reason of the sin of the people, and they shall pray to thee in this place, and confess to thy name, and be converted from their sins, when thou dost afflict them, 2 Par. 6:26
Then hear thou from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of thy servants and of thy people Israel and teach them the good way in which they may walk: and give rain to thy land which thou hast given to thy people to possess. 2 Par. 6:27
If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence or blasting, or mildew, or locusts, or caterpillars: or if their enemies waste the country, and besiege the cities, whatsoever scourge or infirmity shall be upon them: 2 Par. 6:28
Then if any of thy people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity shall pray, and shall spread forth his hands in this house, 2 Par. 6:29
Hear thou from heaven, from thy high dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every one according to his ways, which thou knowest him to have in his heart: for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: 2 Par. 6:30
That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers. 2 Par. 6:31
If the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, come from a far country, for the sake of thy great name, and thy strong hand, and thy stretched out arm, and adore in this place: 2 Par. 6:32
And if they be converted in their heart in the land to which they were led captive, and do penance, and pray to thee in the land of their captivity saying: We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have dealt unjustly: 2 Par. 6:37
And return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to which they were led away, and adore thee towards the way of their own land which thou gavest their fathers, and of the city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name: 2 Par. 6:38
For thou art my God: let thy eyes, I beseech thee, be open, and let thy ears be attentive to the prayer, that is made in this place. 2 Par. 6:40
Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, put on salvation, and thy saints rejoice in good things. 2 Par. 6:41
And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 2 Par. 7:6
And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered. 2 Par. 7:11
My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place. 2 Par. 7:15
I will raise up the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man of thy stock to be ruler in Israel. 2 Par. 7:18
And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath. 2 Par. 8:4
Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon's, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. 2 Par. 8:6
But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king's works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen. 2 Par. 8:9
And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it. 2 Par. 8:11
That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. 2 Par. 8:13
And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded. 2 Par. 8:14
Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom. 2 Par. 8:17
¤ And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart. 2 Par. 9:1
And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished. 2 Par. 9:4
And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom. 2 Par. 9:5
And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon. 2 Par. 9:9
And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda. 2 Par. 9:11
And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood. 2 Par. 9:16
Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom. 2 Par. 9:19
And all the vessels of the king's table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days. 2 Par. 9:20
For the king's ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 2 Par. 9:21
And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart. 2 Par. 9:23
And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots and where the king was in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 9:25
And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains. 2 Par. 9:27
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the books of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat. 2 Par. 9:29
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 2 Par. 9:30
And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 9:31
And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon,) heard it, forthwith he returned. 2 Par. 10:2
But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train. 2 Par. 10:8
But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father. 2 Par. 10:10
And all the people upon the king's speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings. 2 Par. 10:16
But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda. 2 Par. 10:17
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin: 2 Par. 11:3
And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda. 2 Par. 11:5
Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities. 2 Par. 11:10
And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine. 2 Par. 11:11
Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin, 2 Par. 11:12
And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats, 2 Par. 11:13
And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years. 2 Par. 11:17
Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives. 2 Par. 11:23
And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord) 2 Par. 12:2
And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem. 2 Par. 12:4
And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac. 2 Par. 12:5
And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just. 2 Par. 12:6
But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works. 2 Par. 12:12
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess. 2 Par. 12:13
Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days. 2 Par. 12:15
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 12:16
¤ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda. 2 Par. 13:1
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam. 2 Par. 13:2
And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war. 2 Par. 13:3
And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel: 2 Par. 13:4
But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order. 2 Par. 13:10
And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the loaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken. 2 Par. 13:11
Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you. 2 Par. 13:12
And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers. 2 Par. 13:18
And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died. 2 Par. 13:20
But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters. 2 Par. 13:21
And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet. 2 Par. 13:22
¤ And Abia slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead: in his days the land was quiet ten years. 2 Par. 14:1
And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places. 2 Par. 14:2
And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace. 2 Par. 14:5
He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace. 2 Par. 14:6
And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building. 2 Par. 14:7
And Asa had in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men. 2 Par. 14:8
And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa: 2 Par. 14:10
And he called upon the Lord God, and said: Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name we are come against this multitude. O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee. 2 Par. 14:11
And many days shall pass in Israel, without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law. 2 Par. 15:3
And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him. 2 Par. 15:4
At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth. 2 Par. 15:5
And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa, 2 Par. 15:10
They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams. 2 Par. 15:11
And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul. 2 Par. 15:12
All that were in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about. 2 Par. 15:15
Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron. 2 Par. 15:16
But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 2 Par. 15:17
¤ And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa. 2 Par. 16:1
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's treasures, and sent to Benadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying: 2 Par. 16:2
At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Juda, and said to him: Because thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord thy God, therefore hath the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand. 2 Par. 16:7
Were not the Ethiopians, and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceeding great multitude: yet because thou trustedst in the Lord, he delivered them into thy hand? 2 Par. 16:8
For the eyes of the Lord behold all the earth, and give strength to those who with a perfect heart trust in him. Wherefore thou hast done foolishly, and for this cause from this time wars shall arise against thee. 2 Par. 16:9
And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time. 2 Par. 16:10
But the works of Asa the first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 2 Par. 16:11
And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians. 2 Par. 16:12
And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 2 Par. 16:13
And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp. 2 Par. 16:14
¤ And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel. 2 Par. 17:1
And he placed numbers of soldiers in all the fortified cities of Juda. And he put garrisons in the land of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. 2 Par. 17:2
And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim, 2 Par. 17:3
But in the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel. 2 Par. 17:4
And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory. 2 Par. 17:5
And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cities of Juda: 2 Par. 17:7
And they taught the people in Juda, having with them the book of the law of the Lord: and they went about all the cities of Juda, and instructed the people. 2 Par. 17:9
The Philistines also brought presents to Josaphat, and tribute in silver, and the Arabians brought him cattle, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and as many he goats. 2 Par. 17:11
And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities. 2 Par. 17:12
And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 17:13
Of whom this is the number of the houses and families of every one: in Juda captains of the army, Ednas the chief, and with him three hundred thousand most valiant men. 2 Par. 17:14
After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield. 2 Par. 17:17
All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda. 2 Par. 17:19
And he went down to him after some years to Samaria: and Achab at his coming killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people that came with him: and he persuaded him to go up to Ramoth Galaad. 2 Par. 18:2
And Achab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda: Come with me to Ramoth Galaad. And he answered him: Thou art as I am, and my people as thy people, and we will be with thee in the war. 2 Par. 18:3
Now the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, both sat on their thrones, clothed in royal robes, and they sat in the open court by the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them. 2 Par. 18:9
And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the king's hand. 2 Par. 18:11
And the king said: I adjure thee again and again to say nothing but the truth to me, in the name of the Lord. 2 Par. 18:15
Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let every man return to his own house in peace. 2 Par. 18:16
And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And when one spoke in this manner, and another otherwise: 2 Par. 18:19
And he answered: I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive, and shalt prevail: go out, and do so. 2 Par. 18:21
Now therefore behold the Lord hath put a spirit of lying in the mouth of all thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee. 2 Par. 18:22
And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself. 2 Par. 18:24
And say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in prison, and give him bread and water in a small quantity till I return in peace. 2 Par. 18:26
And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people. 2 Par. 18:27
And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the sunset. 2 Par. 18:34
¤ And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 2 Par. 19:1
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer met him, and said to him: Thou helpest the ungodly, and thou art joined in friendship with them that hate the Lord, and therefore thou didst deserve indeed the wrath of the Lord: 2 Par. 19:2
But good works are found in thee, because thou hast taken away the groves out of the land of Juda, and hast prepared thy heart to seek the Lord the God of thy fathers. 2 Par. 19:3
And he set judges of the land in all the fenced cities of Juda, in every place. 2 Par. 19:5
In Jerusalem also Josaphat appointed Levites, and priests and chiefs of the families of Israel, to judge the judgment and the cause of the Lord for the inhabitants thereof. 2 Par. 19:8
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 2 Par. 19:9
Every cause that shall come to you of your brethren, that dwell in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wheresoever there is question concerning the law, the commandment, the ceremonies, the justifications: shew it them, that they may not sin against the Lord, and that wrath may not come upon you and your brethren: and so doing you shall not sin. 2 Par. 19:10
And Amarias the priest your high priest shall be chief in the things which regard God: and Zabadias the son of Ismahel, who is ruler in the house of Juda, shall be over those matters which belong to the king's office: and you have before you the Levites for masters, take courage and do diligently, and the Lord will be with you in good things. 2 Par. 19:11
And there came messengers, and told Josaphat, saying: There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea, and out of Syria, and behold they are in Asasonthamar, which is Engaddi. 2 Par. 20:2
And Josaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Juda, and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord before the new court, 2 Par. 20:5
And said: O Lord God of our fathers, thou art God in heaven, and rulest over all the kingdoms and nations, in thy hand is strength and power, and no one can resist thee. 2 Par. 20:6
And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to thy name, saying: 2 Par. 20:8
If evils fall upon us, the sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand in thy presence before this house, in which thy name is called upon: and we will cry to thee in our afflictions, and thou wilt hear, and save us. 2 Par. 20:9
And Jahaziel the son of Zacharias, the son of Banaias, the son of Jehiel, the son of Mathanias, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, was there, upon whom the spirit of the Lord came in the midst of the multitude, 2 Par. 20:14
And he said: Attend ye, all Juda, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, and thou king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you: Fear ye not, and be not dismayed at this multitude: for the battle is not yours, but God's. 2 Par. 20:15
And they rose early in the morning, and went out through the desert of Thecua: and as they were marching, Josaphat standing in the midst of them, said: Hear me, ye men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be secure: believe his prophets, and all things shall succeed well. 2 Par. 20:20
Then Josaphat came, and all the people with him to take away the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great. 2 Par. 20:25
And on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that place the valley of Blessing until this day. 2 Par. 20:26
And Josaphat reigned over Juda, and he was five and thirty years old, when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi. 2 Par. 20:31
And he walked in the way of his father Asa and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord. 2 Par. 20:32
But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, first and last, are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books of the kings of Israel. 2 Par. 20:34
And he was partner with him in making ships, to go to Tharsis: and they made the ships in Asiongaber. 2 Par. 20:36
¤ And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 21:1
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest. 2 Par. 21:3
Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 21:5
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 2 Par. 21:6
In those days Edom revolted, from being subject to Juda, and made themselves a king. 2 Par. 21:8
And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry. 2 Par. 21:9
Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress. 2 Par. 21:11
And there was a letter brought him from Eliseus the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda, 2 Par. 21:12
But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself, 2 Par. 21:13
And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest. 2 Par. 21:17
And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels. 2 Par. 21:18
He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 2 Par. 21:20
¤ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son king in his place: for the rovers of the Arabians, who had broke in upon the camp, had killed all that were his elder brothers. So Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda reigned. 2 Par. 22:1
Ochozias was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri. 2 Par. 22:2
He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother pushed him on to do wickedly. 2 Par. 22:3
So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction. 2 Par. 22:4
And he returned to be healed in Jezrahel: for he received many wounds in the foresaid battle. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel where he lay sick. 2 Par. 22:6
And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias. 2 Par. 22:9
But Josabeth the king's daughter took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedchamber: now Josabeth that hid him, was daughter of king Joram, wife of Joiada the high priest, and sister of Ochozias, and therefore Athalia did not kill him. 2 Par. 22:11
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, during which Athalia reigned over the land. 2 Par. 22:12
¤ And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them. 2 Par. 23:1
And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king's son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David. 2 Par. 23:3
A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king's house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:5
And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:6
And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out. 2 Par. 23:7
So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest had commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week. 2 Par. 23:8
And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:9
And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king. 2 Par. 23:10
And they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king. 2 Par. 23:11
Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:12
And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason. 2 Par. 23:13
And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:14
And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David. 2 Par. 23:18
He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in. 2 Par. 23:19
¤ Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee. 2 Par. 24:1
And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony? 2 Par. 24:6
For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord. 2 Par. 24:7
And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert. 2 Par. 24:9
And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going in they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled. 2 Par. 24:10
And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money. 2 Par. 24:11
And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling. 2 Par. 24:12
And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm. 2 Par. 24:13
And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada. 2 Par. 24:14
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house. 2 Par. 24:16
And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them. 2 Par. 24:17
The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you? 2 Par. 24:20
And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king's commandment in the court of the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 24:21
And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 2 Par. 24:25
And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 24:27
¤ Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem. 2 Par. 25:1
And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart. 2 Par. 25:2
And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father. 2 Par. 25:3
But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. 2 Par. 25:4
Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield. 2 Par. 25:5
And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight. 2 Par. 25:8
But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle. 2 Par. 25:18
So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda: 2 Par. 25:21
And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son of Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits. 2 Par. 25:23
And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king's house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria. 2 Par. 25:24
Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 2 Par. 25:26
And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there. 2 Par. 25:27
And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David. 2 Par. 25:28
¤ And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father. 2 Par. 26:1
Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem. 2 Par. 26:3
And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done. 2 Par. 26:4
And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things. 2 Par. 26:5
Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines. 2 Par. 26:6
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites. 2 Par. 26:7
And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them. 2 Par. 26:9
And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry. 2 Par. 26:10
And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him. 2 Par. 26:15
And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men, 2 Par. 26:17
And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense. 2 Par. 26:19
And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord. 2 Par. 26:20
And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king's house, and judged the people of the land. 2 Par. 26:21
And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 26:23
¤ Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc. 2 Par. 27:1
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests. 2 Par. 27:4
He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year. 2 Par. 27:5
Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda. 2 Par. 27:7
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 27:8
And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 27:9
¤ Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done, 2 Par. 28:1
But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim. 2 Par. 28:2
It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel. 2 Par. 28:3
He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 2 Par. 28:4
For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers. 2 Par. 28:6
Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done: for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God. 2 Par. 28:10
And they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel. 2 Par. 28:13
The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them. 2 Par. 28:18
Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself, 2 Par. 28:22
Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem. 2 Par. 28:24
And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath. 2 Par. 28:25
But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 2 Par. 28:26
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 28:27
¤ Now Ezechias began to reign, when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abia, the daughter of Zacharias. 2 Par. 29:1
And he did that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. 2 Par. 29:2
In the first year and month of his reign he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them. 2 Par. 29:3
And he brought the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the east street. 2 Par. 29:4
Our fathers have sinned and done evil in the sight of the Lord God, forsaking him: they have turned away their faces from the tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backs. 2 Par. 29:6
They have shut up the doors that were in the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, nor offered holocausts in the sanctuary of the God of Israel. 2 Par. 29:7
And they gathered together their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in according to the commandment of the king, and the precept of the Lord, to purify the house of God. 2 Par. 29:15
And they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the same month they came into the porch of the temple of the Lord, and they purified the temple in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the same month they finished what they had begun. 2 Par. 29:17
And they went in to king Ezechias, and said to him: We have sanctified all the house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition with all its vessels, 2 Par. 29:18
And all the furniture of the temple, which king Achaz in his reign had defiled, after his transgression; and behold they are all set forth before the altar of the Lord. 2 Par. 29:19
And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps according to the regulation of David the king, and of Gad the seer, and of Nathan the prophet: for it was the commandment of the Lord by the hand of his prophets. 2 Par. 29:25
And all the multitude adored, and the singers, and the trumpeters, were in their office till the holocaust was finished. 2 Par. 29:28
And Ezechias added, and said: You have filled your hands to the Lord, come and offer victims, and praises in the house of the Lord. And all the multitude offered victims, and praises, and holocausts with a devout mind. 2 Par. 29:31
¤ And Ezechias sent to all Israel and Juda: and he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasses, that they should come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel, 2 Par. 30:1
For they could not keep it in its time; because there were not priests enough sanctified, and the people was not as yet gathered together to Jerusalem. 2 Par. 30:3
And they decreed to send messengers to all Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, that they should come, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel in Jerusalem: for many had not kept it as it is prescribed by the law. 2 Par. 30:5
But the hand of God was in Juda, to give them one heart to do the word of the Lord, according to the commandment of the king, and of the princes. 2 Par. 30:12
And much people were assembled to Jerusalem to celebrate the solemnity of the unleavened bread in the second month: 2 Par. 30:13
And they arose and destroyed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and took away all things in which incense was burnt to idols and cast them into the torrent Cedron. 2 Par. 30:14
And they immolated the phase on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites being at length sanctified offered holocausts in the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 30:15
And they stood in their order according to the disposition and law of Moses the man of God: but the priests received the blood which was to be poured out, from the hands of the Levites, 2 Par. 30:16
Because a great number was not sanctified: and therefore the Levites immolated the phase for them that came not in time to be sanctified to the Lord. 2 Par. 30:17
And all the multitude of Juda with the priests and Levites, and all the assembly, that came out of Israel; and the proselytes of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Juda were full of joy. 2 Par. 30:25
And there was a great solemnity in Jerusalem, such as had not been in that city since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel. 2 Par. 30:26
¤ And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves, demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities. 2 Par. 31:1
And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord. 2 Par. 31:2
And the king's part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses. 2 Par. 31:3
He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to the law of the Lord. 2 Par. 31:4
Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth. 2 Par. 31:5
Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps. 2 Par. 31:6
In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them. 2 Par. 31:7
And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel. 2 Par. 31:8
Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest. 2 Par. 31:10
Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so, 2 Par. 31:11
They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second, 2 Par. 31:12
And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great: 2 Par. 31:15
Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day. 2 Par. 31:16
Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites. 2 Par. 31:19
So Ezechias did all things which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good, and right, and truth, before the Lord his God, 2 Par. 31:20
In all the service of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered. 2 Par. 31:21
He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields: 2 Par. 32:5
And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying: 2 Par. 32:6
After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying: 2 Par. 32:9
Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem? 2 Par. 32:10
Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews' tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city. 2 Par. 32:18
Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations. 2 Par. 32:23
In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign. 2 Par. 32:24
And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias. 2 Par. 32:26
This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in all his works he did prosperously what he would. 2 Par. 32:30
But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart. 2 Par. 32:31
Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 2 Par. 32:32
And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 32:33
¤ Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 33:1
He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 2 Par. 33:4
And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 33:5
And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 2 Par. 33:6
He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever. 2 Par. 33:7
And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers. 2 Par. 33:12
After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda: 2 Par. 33:14
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city. 2 Par. 33:15
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God. 2 Par. 33:17
But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel. 2 Par. 33:18
His prayer also, and his being heard and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai. 2 Par. 33:19
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house: and his son Amon reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 33:20
Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 33:21
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them. 2 Par. 33:22
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 2 Par. 33:24
But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amon, and made Josias his son king in his stead. 2 Par. 33:25
¤ Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 34:1
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the right hand, nor to the left. 2 Par. 34:2
And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things. 2 Par. 34:3
And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and he cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them. 2 Par. 34:4
And in the cities of Manasses, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Nephtali he demolished all. 2 Par. 34:6
And when he had destroyed the altars, and the groves, and had broken the idols in pieces, and had demolished all profane temples throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 2 Par. 34:7
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Elselias, and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God. 2 Par. 34:8
Which they delivered into the hands of them that were over the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the temple, and mend all that was weak. 2 Par. 34:10
And he said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and he delivered it to him. 2 Par. 34:15
They have gathered together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord: and it is given to the overseers of the artificers, and of the workmen, for divers works. 2 Par. 34:17
Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel, and Juda, concerning all the words of this book, which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord hath fallen upon us, because our fathers have not kept the words of the Lord, to do all things that are written in this book. 2 Par. 34:21
And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part: and they spoke to her the words above mentioned. 2 Par. 34:22
Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in this book which they read before the king of Juda. 2 Par. 34:24
And thy heart was softened, and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. 2 Par. 34:27
For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They therefore reported to the king all that she had said. 2 Par. 34:28
And went up to the house of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people from the least to the greatest. And the king read in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, all the words of the book. 2 Par. 34:30
And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read. 2 Par. 34:31
And he adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of the Lord the God of their fathers. 2 Par. 34:32
And Josias took away all the abominations out of all the countries of the children of Israel and made all that were left in Israel, to serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived they departed not from the Lord the God of their fathers. 2 Par. 34:33
¤ And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 Par. 35:1
And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 35:2
And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel. 2 Par. 35:3
And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi. 2 Par. 35:5
And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king's substance. 2 Par. 35:7
And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king's commandment. 2 Par. 35:10
And they separated them, to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner. 2 Par. 35:12
And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people. 2 Par. 35:13
And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night, wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last. 2 Par. 35:14
And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun, the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service, and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them. 2 Par. 35:15
So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias. 2 Par. 35:16
There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 2 Par. 35:18
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated. 2 Par. 35:19
After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him. 2 Par. 35:20
But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee. 2 Par. 35:21
Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, but went to fight in the field of Mageddo. 2 Par. 35:22
And they removed him from the chariot into another, that followed him after the manner of kings, and they carried him away to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the monument of his fathers, and all Juda and Jerusalem mourned for him, 2 Par. 35:24
Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found written in the Lamentations. 2 Par. 35:25
And his works first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 2 Par. 35:27
¤ Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 36:1
Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 36:2
And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. 2 Par. 36:3
And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him and carried him away into Egypt. 2 Par. 36:4
Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God. 2 Par. 36:5
Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon. 2 Par. 36:6
And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple. 2 Par. 36:7
But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 36:8
Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 2 Par. 36:9
Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 36:11
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord. 2 Par. 36:12
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 36:14
For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered them all into his hands. 2 Par. 36:17
But in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfil the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, king of the Persians: who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, saying: 2 Par. 36:22
Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up. 2 Par. 36:23
‡ ¤ In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians: and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and in writing also, saying: 1 Esd. 1:1
Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: The Lord the God of heaven hath given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. 1 Esd. 1:2
Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him. Let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel: he is the God that is in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 1:3
And let all the rest in all places wheresoever they dwell, help him every man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods, and cattle, besides that which they offer freely to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 1:4
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Juda and Benjamin, and the priests, and Levites, and every one whose spirit God had raised up, to go up to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 1:5
And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had taken from Jerusalem, and had put them in the temple of his god. 1 Esd. 1:7
The children of the porters: the children of Sellum, the children of Ater, the children of Telmon, the children of Accub, the children of Hatita, the children of Sobai: in all a hundred thirty-nine. 1 Esd. 2:42
And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the temple of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem, offered freely to the house of the Lord to build it in its place. 1 Esd. 2:68
So the priests and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singing men, and the porters, and the Nathinites dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities. 1 Esd. 2:70
¤ And now the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities: and the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 3:1
And Josue the son of Josedec rose up, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel that they might offer holocausts upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. 1 Esd. 3:2
And they set the altar of God upon its bases, while the people of the lands round about put them in fear, and they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord morning and evening. 1 Esd. 3:3
And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the holocaust every day orderly according to the commandment, the duty of the day in its day. 1 Esd. 3:4
And afterwards the continual holocaust, both on the new moons, and on all the solemnities of the Lord, that were consecrated, and on all in which a freewill offering was made to the Lord. 1 Esd. 3:5
And in the second year of their coming to the temple of God in Jerusalem, the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests, and the Levites, and all that were come from the captivity to Jerusalem began, and they appointed Levites from twenty years old and upward, to hasten forward the work of the Lord. 1 Esd. 3:8
Then Josue and his sons and his brethren, Cedmihel, and his sons, and the children of Juda, as one man, stood to hasten them that did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brethren the Levites. 1 Esd. 3:9
And when the masons laid the foundations of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their ornaments with trumpets: and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise God by the hands of David king of Israel. 1 Esd. 3:10
Then the people of the land hindered the hands of the people of Juda, and troubled them in building. 1 Esd. 4:4
And in the reign of Assuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Juda and Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 4:6
And in the days of Artaxerxes, Beselam, Mithridates, and Thabeel, and the rest that were in the council wrote to Artaxerxes king of the Persians: and the letter of accusation was written in Syrian, and was read in the Syrian tongue. 1 Esd. 4:7
Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe wrote a letter from Jerusalem to king Artaxerxes, in this manner: 1 Esd. 4:8
And the rest of the nations, whom the great and glorious Asenaphar brought over: and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria and in the rest of the countries of this side of the river in peace. 1 Esd. 4:10
But we remembering the salt that we have eaten in the palace, and because we count it a crime to see the king wronged, have therefore sent and certified the king, 1 Esd. 4:14
That search may be made in the books of the histories of thy fathers, and thou shalt find written in the records: and shalt know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to the kings and provinces, and that wars were raised therein of old time: for which cause also the city was destroyed. 1 Esd. 4:15
The king sent word to Reum Beelteem and Samsai the scribe, and to the rest that were in their council, inhabitants of Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, sending greeting and peace. 1 Esd. 4:17
For there have been powerful kings in Jerusalem, who have had dominion over all the country that is beyond the river: and have received tribute, and toll and revenues. 1 Esd. 4:20
See that you be not negligent in executing this, lest by little and little the evil grow to the hurt of the kings. 1 Esd. 4:22
Now the copy of the edict of king Artaxerxes was read before Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe, and their counsellors: and they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and hindered them with arm and power. 1 Esd. 4:23
Then the work of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem was interrupted, and ceased till the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians. 1 Esd. 4:24
¤ Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel. 1 Esd. 5:1
Then rose up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and began to build the temple of God in Jerusalem, and with them were the prophets of God helping them. 1 Esd. 5:2
In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building. 1 Esd. 5:4
Be it known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently and advanceth in their hands. 1 Esd. 5:8
And they answered us in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up. 1 Esd. 5:11
But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus set forth a decree, that this house of God should be built. 1 Esd. 5:13
And the vessels also of gold and silver of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and had brought them to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sassabasar, whom also he appointed governor, 1 Esd. 5:14
And said to him: Take these vessels, and go, and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place. 1 Esd. 5:15
Then came this same Sassabasar, and laid the foundations of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it is in building, and is not yet finished. 1 Esd. 5:16
Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king's library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter. 1 Esd. 5:17
¤ Then king Darius gave orders, and they searched in the library of the books that were laid up in Babylon, 1 Esd. 6:1
And there was found in Ecbatana, which is a castle in the province of Media, a book in which this record was written. 1 Esd. 6:2
In the first year of Cyrus the king: Cyrus the king decreed, that the house of God should be built, which is in Jerusalem, in the place where they may offer sacrifices, and that they lay the foundations that may support the height of threescore cubits, and the breadth of threescore cubits, 1 Esd. 6:3
And also let the golden and silver vessels of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor took out of the temple of Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and carried back to the temple of Jerusalem to their place, which also were placed in the temple of God. 1 Esd. 6:5
And let that temple of God be built by the governor of the Jews, and by their ancients, that they may build that house of God in its place. 1 Esd. 6:7
And if it shall be necessary, let calves also, and lambs, and kids, for holocausts to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the custom of the priests that are in Jerusalem, be given them day by day, that there be no complaint in any thing. 1 Esd. 6:9
And may the God, that hath caused his name to dwell there, destroy all kingdoms, and the people that shall put out their hand to resist, and to destroy the house of God, that is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made the decree, which I will have diligently complied with. 1 Esd. 6:12
And they were finishing this house of God, until the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius. 1 Esd. 6:15
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses over the works of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses. 1 Esd. 6:18
And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy, for the Lord had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, that he should help their hands in the work of the house of the Lord the God of Israel. 1 Esd. 6:22
¤ Now after these things in the reign of Artaxerxes king of the Persians, Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of Helcias, 1 Esd. 7:1
This Esdras went up from Babylon, and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God had given to Israel: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him. 1 Esd. 7:6
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the children of the priests, and of the children of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and of the Nathinites to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. 1 Esd. 7:7
And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king. 1 Esd. 7:8
For Esdras had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do and to teach in Israel the commandments and judgment. 1 Esd. 7:10
And this is the copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe instructed in the words and commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies in Israel. 1 Esd. 7:11
It is decreed by me, that all they of the people of Israel, and of the priests and of the Levites in my realm, that are minded to go into Jerusalem, should go with thee. 1 Esd. 7:13
For thou art sent from before the king, and his seven counsellors, to visit Judea and Jerusalem according to the law of thy God, which is in thy hand. 1 Esd. 7:14
And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 7:15
And all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, and that the people is willing to offer, and that the priests shall offer of their own accord to the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem, 1 Esd. 7:16
Take freely, and buy diligently with this money, calves, rams, lambs, with the sacrifices and libations of them, and offer them upon the altar of the temple of your God, that is in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 7:17
The vessels also, that are given thee for the sacrifice of the house of thy God, deliver thou in the sight of God in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 7:19
All that belongeth to the rites of the God of heaven, let it be given diligently in the house of the God of heaven: lest his wrath should be enkindled against the realm of the king, and of his sons. 1 Esd. 7:23
And thou Esdras according to the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, that may judge all the people, that is beyond the river, that is, for them who know the law of thy God, yea and the ignorant teach ye freely. 1 Esd. 7:25
Blessed be the Lord the God of our fathers, who hath put this in the king's heart, to glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem, 1 Esd. 7:27
¤ Now these are the chief of families, and the genealogy of them, who came up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king. 1 Esd. 8:1
And I sent them to Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers of the house of our God. 1 Esd. 8:17
For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him. 1 Esd. 8:22
Watch ye and keep them, till you deliver them by weight before the chief of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure of the house of the Lord. 1 Esd. 8:29
Then we set forward from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way. 1 Esd. 8:31
And on the fourth day the silver and the gold, and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Urias the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Josue, and Noadaia the son of Benoi, Levites. 1 Esd. 8:33
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and they have mingled the holy seed with the people of the lands. And the hand of the princes and magistrates hath been first in this transgression. 1 Esd. 9:2
And now as a little, and for a moment has our prayer been made before the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant, and give us a pin in his holy place, and that our God would enlighten our eyes, and would give us a little life in our bondage. 1 Esd. 9:8
For we are bondmen, and in our bondage our God hath not forsaken us, but hath extended mercy upon us before the king of the Persians, to give us life, and to set up the house of our God, and to rebuild the desolations thereof, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 9:9
That we should not turn away, nor break thy commandments, nor join in marriage with the people of these abominations. Art thou angry with us unto utter destruction, not to leave us a remnant to be saved? 1 Esd. 9:14
O Lord God of Israel, thou art just: for we remain yet to be saved as at this day. Behold we are before thee in our sin, for there can be no standing before thee in this matter. 1 Esd. 9:15
And Sechenias the son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam answered, and said to Esdras: We have sinned against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: and now if there be repentance in Israel concerning this, 1 Esd. 10:2
And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliasib, and entered in thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water: for he mourned for the transgression of them that were come out of the captivity. 1 Esd. 10:6
And proclamation was made in Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble together into Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 10:7
Then all the men of Juda, and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within three days, in the ninth month, the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin, and the rain. 1 Esd. 10:9
But as the people are many, and it is time of rain, and we are not able to stand without, and it is not a work of one day or two, (for we have exceedingly sinned in this matter,) 1 Esd. 10:13
Let rulers be appointed in all the multitude: and in all our cities, let them that have taken strange wives come at the times appointed, and with them the ancients and the judges of every city, until the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this sin. 1 Esd. 10:14
And the children of the captivity did so. And Esdras the priest, and the men heads of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all by their names, went and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. 1 Esd. 10:16
‡ ¤ 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
And they said to me: They that have remained, and are left of the captivity there in the province, are in great affliction, and reproach: and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire. 2 Esd. 1:3
¤ And 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: 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 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 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
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
And next to them built Meltias the Gabaonite, and Jadon the Meronathite, the men of Gabaon and Maspha, for the governor that was in the country beyond the river. 2 Esd. 3:7
And the gate of the valley Hanun built, and the inhabitants of Zanoe: they built it, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks, and the bars, and a thousand cubits in the wall unto the gate of the dunghill. 2 Esd. 3:13
After him built the Levites, Rehum the son of Benni. After him built Hasebias, lord of half the street of Ceila in his own street. 2 Esd. 3:17
After him in the mount Baruch the son of Zachai built another measure, from the corner to the door of the house of Eliasib the high priest. 2 Esd. 3:20
Phalel, the son of Ozi, over against the bending and the tower, which lieth out from the king's high house, that is, in the court of the prison: after him Phadaia the son of Pharos. 2 Esd. 3:25
And the Nathinites dwelt in Ophel, as far as over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that stood out. 2 Esd. 3:26
And said before his brethren, and the multitude of the Samaritans: What are the silly Jews doing? Will the Gentiles let them alone? will they sacrifice and make an end in a day? are they able to raise stones out of the heaps of the rubbish, which are burnt? 2 Esd. 4:2
Hear thou our God, for we are despised: turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them to be despised in a land of captivity. 2 Esd. 4:4
And our enemies said: Let them not know, nor understand, till we come in the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease. 2 Esd. 4:11
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 it came to pass from that day forward, that half of their young men did the work, and half were ready for to fight, with spears, and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, and the rulers were behind them in all the house of Juda. 2 Esd. 4:16
In what place soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, run all thither unto us: our God will fight for us. 2 Esd. 4:20
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
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
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
¤ 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
Sanaballat and Gossem sent to me, saying: Come, and let us make a league together in the villages, in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. 2 Esd. 6:2
And Sanaballat sent his servant to me the fifth time according to the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner: 2 Esd. 6:5
Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together. 2 Esd. 6:7
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
Remember me, O Lord, for Tobias and Sanaballat, according to their works of this kind: and Noadias the prophet, and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear. 2 Esd. 6:14
But the wall was finished the five and twentieth day of the month of Elul, in two and fifty days. 2 Esd. 6:15
Moreover in those days many letters were sent by the principal men of the Jews to Tobias, and from Tobias there came letters to them. 2 Esd. 6:17
For there were many in Judea sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Sechenias the son of Area, and Johanan his son had taken to wife the daughter of Mosollam the son of Barachias. 2 Esd. 6:18
And they praised him also before me, and they related my words to him: And Tobias sent letters to put me in fear. 2 Esd. 6:19
And the city was very wide and great, and the people few in the midst thereof, and the houses were not built. 2 Esd. 7:4
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
The priests: the children of Idaia in the house of Josue, nine hundred and seventy-three. 2 Esd. 7:39
These sought their writing in the record, and found it not: and they were cast out of the priesthood. 2 Esd. 7:64
And the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singing men, and the rest of the common people, and the Nathinites, and all Israel dwelt in their cities. 2 Esd. 7:73
¤ And the seventh month came: and the children of Israel were in their cities. And all the people were gathered together as one man to the street which is before the water gate, and they spoke to Esdras the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel. 2 Esd. 8:1
Then Esdras the priest brought the law before the multitude of men and women, and all those that could understand, in the first day of the seventh month. 2 Esd. 8:2
And he read it plainly in the street that was before the water gate, from the morning until midday, before the men, and the women, and all those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book. 2 Esd. 8:3
Now Josue, and Bani, and Serebia, Jamin, Accub, Sephtai, Odia, Maasia, Celtia, Azarias, Jozabed, Hanan, Phalaia, the Levites, made silence among the people to hear the law: and the people stood in their place. 2 Esd. 8:7
And they read in the book of the law of God distinctly and plainly to be understood: and they understood when it was read. 2 Esd. 8:8
And they found written in the law, that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in tabernacles, on the feast, in the seventh month: 2 Esd. 8:14
And that they should proclaim and publish the word in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: Go forth to the mount, and fetch branches of olive, and branches of beautiful wood, branches of myrtle, and branches of palm, and branches of thick trees, to make tabernacles, as it is written. 2 Esd. 8:15
And the people went forth, and brought. And they made themselves tabernacles every man on the top of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 2 Esd. 8:16
And all the assembly of them that were returned from the captivity, made tabernacles, and dwelt in tabernacles: for since the days of Josue the son of Nun the children of Israel had not done so, until that day: and there was exceeding great joy. 2 Esd. 8:17
And he read in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day till the last, and they kept the solemnity seven days, and in the eighth day a solemn assembly according to the manner. 2 Esd. 8:18
¤ And in the four and twentieth day of the month the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, and earth upon them. 2 Esd. 9:1
And they rose up to stand: and they read in the book of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed, and adored the Lord their God. 2 Esd. 9:3
Thou thyself, O Lord alone, thou hast made heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all the host thereof: the earth and all things that are in it: the seas and all that are therein: and thou givest life to all these things, and the host of heaven adoreth thee. 2 Esd. 9:6
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt: and thou didst hear their cry by the Red Sea. 2 Esd. 9:9
And in a pillar of a cloud thou wast their leader by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, that they might see the way by which they went. 2 Esd. 9:12
And thou gavest them bread from heaven in their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock in their thirst, and thou saidst to them that they should go in, and possess the land, upon which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it them. 2 Esd. 9:15
Yet thou, in thy many mercies, didst not leave them in the desert: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day to lead them in the way, and the pillar of fire by night to shew them the way by which they should go. 2 Esd. 9:19
Forty years didst thou feed them in the desert, and nothing was wanting to them: their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn. 2 Esd. 9:21
And thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them to the land concerning which thou hadst said to their fathers, that they should go in and possess it. 2 Esd. 9:23
And they took strong cities and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods: cisterns made by others, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: and they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and abounded with delight in thy great goodness. 2 Esd. 9:25
And thou gavest them into the hands of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation they cried to thee, and thou heardest from heaven, and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies thou gavest them saviours, to save them from the hands of their enemies. 2 Esd. 9:27
But after they had rest, they returned to do evil in thy sight: and thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them. Then they returned, and cried to thee: and thou heardest from heaven, and deliveredst them many times in thy mercies. 2 Esd. 9:28
And thou didst admonish them to return to thy law. But they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. 2 Esd. 9:29
Yet in thy very many mercies thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them: because thou art a merciful and gracious God. 2 Esd. 9:31
And thou art just in all things that have come upon us: because thou hast done truth, but we have done wickedly. 2 Esd. 9:33
And they have not served thee in their kingdoms, and in thy manifold goodness, which thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land, which thou deliveredst before them, nor did they return from their most wicked devices. 2 Esd. 9:35
Behold we ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants in it. 2 Esd. 9:36
And the fruits thereof grow up for the kings, whom thou hast set over us for our sins, and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our beasts, according to their will, and we are in great tribulation. 2 Esd. 9:37
All that could understand, promising for their brethren, with their chief men, and they came to promise, and swear that they would walk in the law of God, which he gave in the hand of Moses the servant of God, that they would do and keep all the commandments of the Lord our God, and his judgments and his ceremonies. 2 Esd. 10:29
And if the people of the land bring in things to sell, or any things for use, to sell them on the sabbath day, that we would not buy them of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day. And that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every hand. 2 Esd. 10:31
And we cast lots among the priests, and the Levites, and the people for the offering of wood, that it might be brought into the house of our God by the houses of our fathers at set times, from year to year: to burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law of Moses: 2 Esd. 10:34
And that we would bring the firstfruits of our land, and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, from year to year, in the house of our Lord. 2 Esd. 10:35
And the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our oxen, and of our sheep, to be offered in the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God. 2 Esd. 10:36
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites in the tithes of the Levites, and the Levites shall offer the tithe of their tithes in the house of our God, to the storeroom into the treasure house. 2 Esd. 10:38
¤ And the princes of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: but the rest of the people cast lots, to take one part in ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities. 2 Esd. 11:1
And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem. 2 Esd. 11:2
These therefore are the chief men of the province, who dwelt in Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda. And every one dwelt in his possession, in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nathinites, and the children of the servants of Solomon. 2 Esd. 11:3
And in Jerusalem there dwelt some of the children of Juda, and some of the children of Benjamin: of the children of Juda, Athaias the son of Aziam, the son of Zacharias, the son of Amarias, the son of Saphatias, the son of Malaleel: of the sons of Phares, 2 Esd. 11:4
All these the sons of Phares, who dwelt in Jerusalem, were four hundred sixty-eight valiant men. 2 Esd. 11:6
And Mathania the son of Micha, the son of Zebedei, the son of Asaph, was the principal man to praise, and to give glory in prayer, and Becbecia, the second, one of his brethren, and Abda the son of Samua, the son of Galal, the son of Idithun. 2 Esd. 11:17
All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred eighty-four. 2 Esd. 11:18
And the rest of Israel, the priests and the Levites were in all the cities of Juda, every man in his possession. 2 Esd. 11:20
And the Nathinites, that dwelt in Ophel, and Siaha, and Gaspha of the Nathinites. 2 Esd. 11:21
And the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem, was Azzi the son of Bani, the son of Hasabia, the son of Mathania, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, were the singing men in the ministry of the house of God. 2 Esd. 11:22
And Phathahia the son of Mesezebel of the children of Zara the son of Juda was at the hand of the king, in all matters concerning the people, 2 Esd. 11:24
And in the houses through all their countries. Of the children of Juda some dwelt at Cariath-Arbe, and in the villages thereof: and at Dibon, and in the villages thereof: and at Cabseel, and in the villages thereof. 2 Esd. 11:25
And at Hasersuel, and at Bersabee, and in the villages thereof, 2 Esd. 11:27
And at Siceleg, and at Mochona, and in the villages thereof, 2 Esd. 11:28
Zanoa, Odollam, and in their villages, at Lachis and its dependencies, and at Azeca and the villages thereof. And they dwelt from Bersabee unto the valley of Ennom. 2 Esd. 11:30
And the children of Benjamin, from Geba, at Mechmas, and at Hai, and at Bethel, and in the villages thereof, 2 Esd. 11:31
Idaia. These were the chief of the priests, and of their brethren in the days of Josue. 2 Esd. 12:7
And Becbecia, and Hanni, and their brethren every one in his office. 2 Esd. 12:9
And in the days of Joacim the priests and heads of the families were: Of Saraia, Maraia: of Jeremias, Hanania: 2 Esd. 12:12
The Levites the chiefs of the families in the days of Eliasib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jeddoa, were recorded, and the priests in the reign of Darius the Persian. 2 Esd. 12:22
The sons of Levi, heads of the families were written in the book of Chronicles, even unto the days of Jonathan the son of Eliasib. 2 Esd. 12:23
Now the chief of the Levites were Hasebia, Serebia, and Josue the son of Cedmihel: and their brethren by their courses, to praise and to give thanks according to the commandment of David the man of God, and to wait equally in order. 2 Esd. 12:24
These were in the days of Joacim the son of Josue, the son of Josedec, and in the days of Nehemias the governor, and of Esdras the priest and scribe. 2 Esd. 12:26
And above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Emath, and even to the flock gate: and they stood still in the watch gate. 2 Esd. 12:39
They appointed also in that day men over the storehouses of the treasure, for the libations, and for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, that the rulers of the city might bring them in by them in honour of thanksgiving, for the priests and Levites: for Juda was joyful in the priests and Levites that assisted. 2 Esd. 12:44
For in the days of David and Asaph from the beginning there were chief singers appointed, to praise with canticles, and give thanks to God. 2 Esd. 12:46
And all Israel, in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Nehemias gave portions to the singing men, and to the porters, day by day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron. 2 Esd. 12:47
¤ And on that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people: and therein was found written, that the Ammonites and the Moabites should not come in to the church of God for ever: 2 Esd. 13:1
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 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
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
Some Tyrians also dwelt there, who brought fish, and all manner of wares: and they sold them on the sabbaths to the children of Juda in Jerusalem. 2 Esd. 13:16
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
In those days also I saw Jews that married wives, women of Azotus, and of Ammon, and of Moab. 2 Esd. 13:23
And their children spoke half in the speech of Azotus, and could not speak the Jews' language, but they spoke according to the language of this and that people. 2 Esd. 13:24
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin in this kind of thing: and surely among many nations, there was not a king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: and yet women of other countries brought even him to sin. 2 Esd. 13:26
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
‡ ¤ Tobias of the tribe and city of Nephtali, (which is in the upper parts of Galilee above Naasson, beyond the way that leadeth to the west, having on the right hand the city of Sephet,) Tob. 1:1
When he was made captive in the days of Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, even in his captivity, forsook not the way of truth, Tob. 1:2
And when he was younger than any of the tribe of Nephtali, yet did he no childish thing in his work. Tob. 1:4
So that in the third year he gave all his tithes to the proselytes, and strangers. Tob. 1:7
And because he was mindful of the Lord with all his heart, God gave him favour in the sight of Salmanasar the king. Tob. 1:13
He therefore went to all that were in captivity, and gave them wholesome admonitions. Tob. 1:15
And when amongst a great multitude of his kindred, he saw Gabelus in want, who was one of his tribe, taking a note of his hand he gave him the aforesaid sum of money. Tob. 1:17
But after a long time, Salmanasar the king being dead, when Sennacherib his son, who reigned in his place, had a hatred for the children of Israel: Tob. 1:18
¤ But after this, when there was a festival of the Lord, and a good dinner was prepared in Tobias's house, Tob. 2:1
And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to the body. Tob. 2:3
But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight buried them. Tob. 2:9
But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God all the days of his life. Tob. 2:14
And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to live. Tob. 3:6
Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's servant maids, Tob. 3:7
Because she had been given to seven husbands and a devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her. Tob. 3:8
But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach. Tob. 3:11
She said: Blessed is thy name, O God of our fathers, who when thou hast been angry, wilt shew mercy, and in the time of tribulation forgivest the sins of them that call upon thee. Tob. 3:13
Never have I joined myself with them that play: neither have I made myself partaker with them that walk in lightness. Tob. 3:17
For thy counsel is not in man's power. Tob. 3:20
For thou art not delighted in our being lost, because after a storm thou makest a calm, and after tears and weeping thou pourest in joyfulness. Tob. 3:22
At that time the prayers of them both were heard in the sight of the glory of the most high God: Tob. 3:24
And the holy angel of the Lord, Raphael was sent to heal them both, whose prayers at one time were rehearsed in the sight of the Lord. Tob. 3:25
And said to him: Hear, my son, the words of my mouth, and lay them as a foundation in thy heart. Tob. 4:2
For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for thee in her womb. Tob. 4:4
And all the days of thy life have God in thy mind: and take heed thou never consent to sin, nor transgress the commandments of the Lord our God. Tob. 4:6
Never suffer pride to reign in thy mind, or in thy words: for from it all perdition took its beginning. Tob. 4:14
Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him. Tob. 4:20
I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I have a note of his hand with me: Tob. 4:21
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
Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto him. Tob. 5:10
So going in he saluted him, and said: Joy be to thee always. Tob. 5:11
And Tobias said: What manner of joy shall be to me, who sit in darkness and see not the light of heaven? Tob. 5:12
And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you. Tob. 5:21
Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set out both together. Tob. 5:22
And when he had done so, he roasted the flesh thereof, and they took it with them in the way: the rest they salted as much as might serve them, till they came to Rages the city of the Medes. Tob. 6:6
And the gall is good for anointing the eyes, in which there is a white speck, and they shall be cured. Tob. 6:9
For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust, as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power. Tob. 6:17
And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust, that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children. Tob. 6:22
¤ And they went in to Raguel, and Raguel received them with joy. Tob. 7:1
Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition, Tob. 7:11
Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight. Tob. 7:13
And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and fulfil his blessing in you. Tob. 7:15
And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept. Tob. 7:19
¤ And after they had supped, they brought in the young man to her. Tob. 8:1
Then the angel Raphael took the devil, and bound him in the desert of upper Egypt. Tob. 8:3
Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, and said to her: Sara, arise, and let us pray to God to day, and to morrow, and the next day: because for these three nights we are joined to God: and when the third night is over, we will be in our own wedlock. Tob. 8:4
And Tobias said: Lord God of our fathers, may the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy creatures that are in them, bless thee. Tob. 8:7
And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name may be blessed for ever and ever. Tob. 8:9
Sara also said: Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, and let us grow old both together in health. Tob. 8:10
For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her. Tob. 8:12
And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone art God in all the earth. Tob. 8:19
We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let thee go from us. Tob. 10:5
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 when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him, Tob. 10:10
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
Admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to love her husband, to take care of the family, to govern the house, and to behave herself irreprehensibly. Tob. 10:13
¤ And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the midway to Ninive, the eleventh day. Tob. 11:1
And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee. Tob. 11:8
Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail. Tob. 11:9
Then he said to them secretly, Bless ye the God of heaven, give glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his mercy to you. Tob. 12:6
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
Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the Gentiles: Tob. 13:3
See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your works. Tob. 13:6
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
Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God eternal that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever. Tob. 13:12
Nations from afar shall come to thee: and shall bring gifts, and shall adore the Lord in thee, and shall esteem thy land as holy. Tob. 13:14
For they shall call upon the great name in thee, Tob. 13:15
But thou shalt rejoice in thy children, because they shall all be blessed, and shall be gathered together to the Lord. Tob. 13:17
Blessed are all they that love thee, and that rejoice in thy peace, Tob. 13:18
All its streets shall be paved with white and clean stones: and Alleluia shall be sung in its streets, Tob. 13:22
And after he had lived a hundred and two years, he was buried honourably in Ninive. Tob. 14:2
And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace. Tob. 14:4
And all the land thereof that is desert shall be filled with people, and the house of God which is burnt in it, shall again be rebuilt: and all that fear God shall return thither. Tob. 14:7
And the Gentiles shall leave their idols, and shall come into Jerusalem, and shall dwell in it. Tob. 14:8
And all the kings of the earth shall rejoice in it, adoring the King of Israel. Tob. 14:9
Hearken therefore, my children, to your father: serve the Lord in truth, and seek to do the things that please him: Tob. 14:10
And command your children that they do justice and almsdeeds, and that they be mindful of God, and bless him at all times in truth, and with all their power. Tob. 14:11
And now, children, hear me, and do not stay here: but as soon as you shall bury your mother by me in one sepulchre, without delay direct your steps to depart hence: Tob. 14:12
And it came to pass that after the death of his mother, Tobias departed out of Ninive with his wife, and children, and children's children, and returned to his father and mother in law. Tob. 14:14
And he found them in health in a good old age: and he took care of them, and he closed their eyes: and all the inheritance of Raguel's house came to him: and he saw his children's children to the fifth generation. Tob. 14:15
And after he had lived ninety-nine years in the fear of the Lord, with joy they buried him. Tob. 14:16
And all his kindred, and all his generation continued in good life, and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to God, and to men, and to all that dwelt in the land. Tob. 14:17
And he gloried as a mighty one in the force of his army and in the glory of his chariots. Jud. 1:4
Now in the twelfth year of his reign, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, who reigned in Ninive the great city, fought against Arphaxad and overcame him, Jud. 1:5
In the great plain which is called Ragua, about the Euphrates, and the Tigris, and the Jadason, in the plain of Erioch the king of the Elicians. Jud. 1:6
Then was the kingdom of Nabuchodonosor exalted, and his heart was elevated: and he sent to all that dwelt in Cilicia and Damascus, and Libanus, Jud. 1:7
And to the nations that are in Carmelus, and Cedar, and to the inhabitants of Galilee in the great plain of Asdrelon, Jud. 1:8
And to all that were in Samaria, and beyond the river Jordan even to Jerusalem, and all the land of Jesse till you come to the borders of Ethiopia. Jud. 1:9
¤ In the thirteenth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, the two and twentieth day of the first month, the word was given out in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, that he would revenge himself. Jud. 2:1
And he made all his warlike preparations to go before with a multitude of innumerable camels, with all provisions sufficient for the armies in abundance, and herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, without number. Jud. 2:8
He appointed corn to be prepared out of all Syria in his passage. Jud. 2:9
But gold and silver he took out of the king's house in great abundance. Jud. 2:10
And after these things he went down into the plains of Damascus in the days of the harvest, and he set all the corn on fire, and he caused all the trees and vineyards to be cut down. Jud. 2:17
All our cities and our possessions, all mountains and hills, and fields, and herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and goats, and horses, and camels, and all our goods, and families are in thy sight: Jud. 3:3
Then he came down from the mountains with horsemen, in great power, and made himself master of every city, and all the inhabitants of the land. Jud. 3:7
And he took possession of their cities, and stayed there for thirty days, in which days he commanded all the troops of his army to be united. Jud. 3:15
¤ Then the children of Israel, who dwelt in the land of Juda, hearing these things, were exceedingly afraid of him. Jud. 4:1
And all the people cried to the Lord with great earnestness, and they humbled their souls in fastings, and prayers, both they and their wives. Jud. 4:7
Saying: Know ye that the Lord will hear your prayers, if you continue with perseverance in fastings and prayers in the sight of the Lord. Jud. 4:11
Remember Moses the servant of the Lord who overcame Amalec that trusted in his own strength, and in his power, and in his army, and in his shields, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen, not by fighting with the sword, but by holy prayers: Jud. 4:12
So shall all the enemies of Israel be, if you persevere in this work which you have begun. Jud. 4:13
So they being moved by this exhortation of his, prayed to the Lord, and continued in the sight of the Lord. Jud. 4:14
And why they above all that dwell in the east, have despised us, and have not come out to meet us, that they might receive us with peace? Jud. 5:4
Then Achior captain of all the children of Ammon answering, said; If thou vouchsafe, my lord, to hear, I will tell the truth in thy sight concerning this people, that dwelleth in the mountains, and there shall not a false word come out of my mouth. Jud. 5:5
They dwelt first in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers, who were in the land of the Chaldeans. Jud. 5:7
Wherefore forsaking the ceremonies of their fathers, which consisted in the worship of many gods, Jud. 5:8
They worshipped one God of heaven, who also commanded them to depart from thence, and to dwell in Charan. And when there was a famine over all the land, they went down into Egypt, and there for four hundred years were so multiplied, that the army of them could not be numbered. Jud. 5:9
And when the king of Egypt oppressed them, and made slaves of them to labour in clay and brick, in the building of his cities, they cried to their Lord, and he struck the whole land of Egypt with divers plagues. Jud. 5:10
The God of heaven opened the sea to them in their flight, so that the waters were made to stand firm as a wall on either side, and they walked through the bottom of the sea and passed it dry foot. Jud. 5:12
And when an innumerable army of the Egyptians pursued after them in that place, they were so overwhelmed with the waters, that there was not one left, to tell what had happened to posterity. Jud. 5:13
After they came out of the Red Sea, they abode in the deserts of mount Sina, in which never man could dwell, or son of man rested. Jud. 5:14
Wheresoever they went in without bow and arrow, and without shield and sword, their God fought for them and overcame. Jud. 5:16
So they overthrew the king of the Chanaanites, and of the Jebusites, and of the Pherezites, and of the Hethites, and of the Hevites, and of the Amorrhites, and all the mighty ones in Hesebon, and they possessed their lands, and their cities: Jud. 5:20
And as long as they sinned not in the sight of their God, it was well with them: for their God hateth iniquity. Jud. 5:21
And even some years ago when they had revolted from the way which God had given them to walk therein, they were destroyed in battles by many nations and very many of them were led away captive into a strange land. Jud. 5:22
Now therefore, my lord, search if there be any iniquity of theirs in the sight of their God: let us go up to them, because their God will surely deliver them to thee, and they shall be brought under the yoke of thy power: Jud. 5:24
But if there be no offence of this people in the sight of their God, we cannot resist them because their God will defend them: and we shall be a reproach to the whole earth. Jud. 5:25
Who is this, that saith the children of Israel can resist king Nabuchodonosor, and his armies, men unarmed, and without force, and without skill in the art of war? Jud. 5:27
¤ And it came to pass when they had left off speaking, that Holofernes being in a violent passion, said to Achior: Jud. 6:1
But if thou think thy prophecy true, let not thy countenance sink, and let the paleness that is in thy face, depart from thee, if thou imaginest these my words cannot be accomplished. Jud. 6:5
And the children of Israel coming down from Bethulia, came to him, and loosing him they brought him to Bethulia, and setting him in the midst of the people, asked him what was the matter that the Assyrians had left him bound. Jud. 6:10
In those days the rulers there, were Ozias the son of Micha of the tribe of Simeon, and Charmi, called also Gothoniel. Jud. 6:11
And Achior related in the midst of the ancients, and in the presence of all the people, all that he had said being asked by Holofernes: and how the people of Holofernes would have killed him for this word, Jud. 6:12
Saying: O Lord God of heaven and earth, behold their pride, and look on our low condition, and have regard to the face of thy saints, and shew that thou forsakest not them that trust on thee, and that thou humblest them that presume of themselves, and glory in their own strength. Jud. 6:15
So when their weeping was ended, and the people's prayer, in which they continued all the day, was concluded, they comforted Achior, Jud. 6:16
And when the Lord our God shall give this liberty to his servants, let God be with thee also in the midst of us: that as it shall please thee, so thou with all thine mayst converse with us. Jud. 6:18
Now there were in his troops a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two and twenty thousand horsemen, besides the preparations of those men who had been taken, and who had been brought away out of the provinces and cities of all the youth. Jud. 7:2
Now Holofernes, in going round about, found that the fountain which supplied them with water, ran through an aqueduct without the city on the south side: and he commanded their aqueduct to be cut off. Jud. 7:6
But the children of Ammon and Moab came to Holofernes, saying: The children of Israel trust not in their spears, nor in their arrows, but the mountains are their defence, and the steep hills and precipices guard them. Jud. 7:8
Wherefore that thou mayst overcome them without joining battle, set guards at the springs that they may not draw water out of them, and thou shalt destroy them without sword, or at least being wearied out they will yield up their city, which they suppose, because it is situate in the mountains, to be impregnable. Jud. 7:9
Said: God be judge between us and thee, for thou hast done evil against us, in that thou wouldst not speak peaceably with the Assyrians, and for this cause God hath sold us into their hands. Jud. 7:13
And therefore there is no one to help us, while we are cast down before their eyes in thirst, and sad destruction. Jud. 7:14
And now assemble ye all that are in the city, that we may of our own accord yield ourselves all up to the people of Holofernes. Jud. 7:15
And when they had said these things, there was great weeping and lamentation of all in the assembly, and for many hours with one voice they cried to God, saying: Jud. 7:18
Have thou mercy on us, because thou art good, or punish our iniquities by chastising us thyself, and deliver not them that trust in thee to a people that knoweth not thee, Jud. 7:20
Ozias rising up all in tears, said: Be of good courage, my brethren, and let us wait these five days for mercy from the Lord. Jud. 7:23
And her husband was Manasses, who died in the time of the barley harvest: Jud. 8:2
For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers. Jud. 8:3
And she made herself a private chamber in the upper part of her house, in which she abode shut up with her maids. Jud. 8:5
And therefore let us humble our souls before him, and continuing in an humble spirit, in his service: Jud. 8:16
Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility. Jud. 8:17
And Ozias and the ancients said to her: All things which thou hast spoken are true, and there is nothing to be reprehended in thy words. Jud. 8:28
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
And Ozias the prince of Juda said to her: Go in peace, and the Lord be with thee to take revenge of our enemies. So returning they departed. Jud. 8:34
For all thy ways are prepared, and in thy providence thou hast placed thy judgments. Jud. 9:5
Look upon the camp of the Assyrians now, as thou wast pleased to look upon the camp of the Egyptians, when they pursued armed after thy servants, trusting in their chariots, and in their horsemen, and in a multitude of warriors. Jud. 9:6
So may it be with these also, O Lord, who trust in their multitude, and in their chariots, and in their pikes, and in their shields, and in their arrows, and glory in their spears, Jud. 9:9
Lift up thy arm as from the beginning, and crush their power with thy power: let their power fall in their wrath, who promise themselves to violate thy sanctuary, and defile the dwelling place of thy name, and to beat down with their sword the horn of thy altar. Jud. 9:11
Let him be caught in the net of his own eyes in my regard, and do thou strike him by the graces of the words of my lips. Jud. 9:13
Give me constancy in my mind, that I may despise him: and fortitude that I may overthrow him. Jud. 9:14
For thy power, O Lord, is not in a multitude, nor is thy pleasure in the strength of horses, nor from the beginning have the proud been acceptable to thee: but the prayer of the humble and the meek hath always pleased thee. Jud. 9:16
Remember, O Lord, thy covenant, and put thou words in my mouth, and strengthen the resolution in my heart, that thy house may continue in thy holiness: Jud. 9:18
But they asked her no question, only they let her pass, saying: The God of our fathers give thee grace, and may he strengthen all the counsel of thy heart with his power, that Jerusalem may glory in thee, and thy name may be in the number of the holy and just. Jud. 10:8
And 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
¤ Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. Jud. 11:1
For as Nabuchodonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in thee for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through thee, but also the beasts of the field obey him. Jud. 11:5
For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces. Jud. 11:6
And the consecrated things of the Lord their God which God forbade them to touch, in corn, wine, and oil, these have they purposed to make use of, and they design to consume the things which they ought not to touch with their hands: therefore because they do these things, it is certain they will be given up to destruction. Jud. 11:12
There is not such another woman upon earth in look, in beauty, and in sense of words. Jud. 11:19
And because thy promise is good, if thy God shall do this for me, he shall also be my God, and thou shalt be great in the house of Nabuchodonosor, and thy name shall be renowned through all the earth. Jud. 11:21
¤ Then he ordered that she should go in where his treasures were laid up, and bade her tarry there, and he appointed what should be given her from his own table. Jud. 12:1
And when she was going in, she desired that she might have liberty to go out at night and before day to prayer, and to beseech the Lord. Jud. 12:5
And he commanded his chamberlains, that she might go out and in, to adore her God as she pleased, for three days. Jud. 12:6
And she went out in the nights into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water. Jud. 12:7
And going in, she remained pure in the tent, until she took her own meat in the evening. Jud. 12:9
Then Vagao went in to Judith, and said: Let not my good maid be afraid to go in to my lord, that she may be honoured before his face, that she may eat with him and drink wine and be merry. Jud. 12:12
And she arose and dressed herself out with her garments, and going in she stood before his face. Jud. 12:15
And Holofernes was made merry on her occasion, and drank exceeding much wine, so much as he had never drunk in his life. Jud. 12:20
And Judith was alone in the chamber. Jud. 13:3
And Judith stood before the bed praying with tears, and the motion of her lips in silence, Jud. 13:6
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 Judith from afar off cried to the watchmen upon the walls: Open the gates for God is with us, who hath shewn his power in Israel. Jud. 13:13
Judith said: Praise ye the Lord our God, who hath not forsaken them that hope in him. Jud. 13:17
Then she brought forth the head of Holofernes out of the wallet, and shewed it them, saying: Behold the head of Holofernes the general of the army of the Assyrians, and behold his canopy, wherein he lay in his drunkenness, where the Lord our God slew him by the hand of a woman. Jud. 13:19
Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God. Jud. 13:25
And 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
Blessed art thou by thy God in every tabernacle of Jacob, for in every nation which shall hear thy name, the God of Israel shall be magnified on occasion of thee. Jud. 13:31
And when the captains of them shall run to the tent of Holofernes, and shall find him without his head wallowing in his blood, fear shall fall upon them. Jud. 14:4
And they that were in the tent came, and made a noise, before the door of the chamber to awake him, endeavouring by art to break his rest, that Holofernes might awake, not by their calling him, but by their noise. Jud. 14:9
Go in, and awake him, for the mice, coming out of their holes, have presumed to challenge us to fight. Jud. 14:12
But when with hearkening, he perceived no motion of one lying, he came near to the curtain, and lifting it up, and seeing the body of Holofernes, lying upon the ground, without the head, weltering in his blood, he cried out with a loud voice, with weeping, and rent his garments. Jud. 14:14
And said: One Hebrew woman hath made confusion in the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for behold Holofernes lieth upon the ground, and his head is not upon him. Jud. 14:16
And there was a very great cry in the midst of their camp. Jud. 14:18
And because the Assyrians were not united together, they went without order in their flight; but the children of Israel pursuing in one body, defeated all that they could find. Jud. 15:4
And the rest that were in Bethulia went into the camp of the Assyrians, and took away the spoils which the Assyrians in their flight had left behind them, and they were laden exceedingly, Jud. 15:7
But all those things that were proved to be the peculiar goods of Holofernes, they gave to Judith in gold, and silver, and garments and precious stones, and all household stuff, and they all were delivered to her by the people. Jud. 15:14
He hath set his camp in the midst of his people, to deliver us from the hand of all our enemies. Jud. 16:4
The Assyrians came out of the mountains from the north in the multitude of his strength: his multitude stopped up the torrents, and their horses covered the valleys. Jud. 16:5
The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and they have killed them like children fleeing away: they perished in battle before the face of the Lord my God. Jud. 16:14
O Adonai, Lord, great art thou, and glorious in thy power, and no one can overcome thee. Jud. 16:16
But they that fear thee, shall be great with thee in all things. Jud. 16:19
Woe be to the nation that riseth up against my people: for the Lord almighty will take revenge on them, in the day of judgment he will visit them. Jud. 16:20
And the people were joyful in the sight of the sanctuary, and for three months the joy of this victory was celebrated with Judith. Jud. 16:24
And after those days every man returned to his house, and Judith was made great in Bethulia, and she was most renowned in all the land of Israel. Jud. 16:25
And she abode in her husband's house a hundred and five years, and made her handmaid free, and she died, and was buried with her husband in Bethulia. Jud. 16:28
But the day of the festivity of this victory is received by the Hebrews in the number of holy days, and is religiously observed by the Jews from that time until this day. Jud. 16:31
‡ In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the great, in the first day of the month Nisan, Mardochai the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the tribe of Benjamin: Esther 11:2
A Jew who dwelt in the city of Susan, a great man and among the first of the king's court, had a dream. Esther 11:3
And when Mardochai had seen this, and arose out of his bed, he was thinking what God would do: and he kept it fixed in his mind, desirous to know what the dream should signify. Esther 11:12
¤ And he abode at that time in the king's court with Bagatha and Thara the king's eunuchs, who were porters of the palace. Esther 12:1
And the king commanded him, to abide in the court of the palace, and gave him presents for the information. Esther 12:5
But Aman the son of Amadathi the Bugite was in great honour with the king, and sought to hurt Mardochai and his people, because of the two eunuchs of the king who were put to death. Esther 12:6
¤ In the days of Assuerus, who reigned from India to Ethiopia over a hundred and twenty seven provinces: Esther 1:1
Now in the third year of his reign he made a great feast for all the princes, and for his servants, for the most mighty of the Persians, and the nobles of the Medes, and the governors of the provinces in his sight, Esther 1:3
And when the days of the feast were expired, he invited all the people that were found in Susan, from the greatest to the least: and commanded a feast to be made seven days in the court of the garden, and of the wood, which was planted by the care and the hand of the king. Esther 1:5
And there were hung up on every side sky coloured, and green, and violet hangings, fastened with cords of silk, and of purple, which were put into rings of ivory, and were held up with marble pillars. The beds also were of gold and silver, placed in order upon a floor paved with porphyry and white marble: which was embellished with painting of wonderful variety. Esther 1:6
And they that were invited, drank in golden cups, and the meats were brought in divers vessels one after another. Wine also in abundance and of the best was presented, as was worthy of a king's magnificence. Esther 1:7
Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus was used to dwell. Esther 1:9
Now on the seventh day, when the king was merry, and after very much drinking was well warmed with wine, he commanded Mauman, and Bazatha, and Harbona, and Bagatha, and Abgatha, and Zethar, and Charcas, the seven eunuchs that served in his presence, Esther 1:10
To bring in queen Vasthi before the king, with the crown set upon her head, to shew her beauty to all the people and the princes: for she was exceeding beautiful. Esther 1:11
And Mamuchan answered, in the hearing of the king and the princes: Queen Vasthi hath not only injured the king, but also all the people and princes that are in all the provinces of king Assuerus. Esther 1:16
For this deed of the queen will go abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands, and will say: King Assuerus commanded that queen Vasthi should come in to him, and she would not. Esther 1:17
If it please thee, let an edict go out from thy presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and of the Medes, which must not be altered, that Vasthi come in no more to the king, but another, that is better than her, be made queen in her place. Esther 1:19
And he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every people. Esther 1:22
There was a man in the city of Susan, a Jew, named Mardochai, the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the race of Jemini, Esther 2:5
And when the king's ordinance was noised abroad, and according to his commandment many beautiful virgins were brought to Susan, and were delivered to Egeus the eunuch: Esther also among the rest of the maidens was delivered to him to be kept in the number of the women. Esther 2:8
And she pleased him, and found favour in his sight. And he commanded the eunuch to hasten the women's ornaments, and to deliver to her her part, and seven of the most beautiful maidens of the king's house, and to adorn and deck out both her and her waiting maids. Esther 2:9
And he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther's welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her. Esther 2:11
Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices. Esther 2:12
And when they were going in to the king, whatsoever they asked to adorn themselves they received: and being decked out, as it pleased them, they passed from the chamber of the women to the king's chamber. Esther 2:13
And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king's concubines: neither could she return any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come. Esther 2:14
And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women's ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all. Esther 2:15
So she was brought to the chamber of king Assuerus the tenth month, which is called Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. Esther 2:16
Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one. Esther 2:20
At that time, therefore, when Mardochai abode at the king's gate, Bagathan and Thares, two of the king's eunuchs, who were porters, and presided in the first entry of the palace, were angry: and they designed to rise up against the king, and to kill him. Esther 2:21
And Mardochai had notice of it, and immediately he told it to queen Esther: and she to the king in Mardochai's name, who had reported the thing unto her. Esther 2:22
It was inquired into, and found out: and they were both hanged on a gibbet. And it was put in the histories, and recorded in the chronicles before the king. Esther 2:23
And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them, they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: for he had told them that he was a Jew. Esther 3:4
And he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus. Esther 3:6
In the first month (which is called Nisan) in the twelfth year of the reign of Assuerus, the lot was cast into an urn, which in Hebrew is called Phur, before Aman, on what day and what month the nation of the Jews should be destroyed: and there came out the twelfth month, which is called Adar. Esther 3:7
And the king's scribes were called in the first month Nisan, on the thirteenth day of the same month: and they wrote, as Aman had commanded, to all the king's lieutenants, and to the judges of the provinces, and of divers nations, as every nation could read, and hear according to their different languages, in the name of king Assuerus: and the letters, sealed with his ring, Esther 3:12
Were sent by the king's messengers to all provinces, to kill and destroy all the Jews, both young and old, little children, and women, in one day, that is, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is called Adar, and to make a spoil of their goods. Esther 3:13
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
Wherefore having learned this, and seeing one nation in opposition to all mankind using perverse laws, and going against our commandments, and disturbing the peace and concord of the provinces subject to us, Esther 13:5
That these wicked men going down to hell in one day, may restore to our empire the peace which they had disturbed. Esther 13:7
The couriers that were sent made haste to fulfil the king's commandment. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susan, the king and Aman feasting together, and all the Jews that were in the city weeping. Esther 3:15
¤ Now when Mardochai had heard these things, he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head and he cried with a loud voice in the street in the midst of the city, shewing the anguish of his mind. Esther 4:1
And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king's court. Esther 4:2
And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king's cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed. Esther 4:3
Then Esther's maids and her eunuchs went in, and told her. And when she heard it she was in a consternation and she sent a garment, to clothe him, and to take away the sackcloth: but he would not receive it. Esther 4:4
And Athach going out went to Mardochai, who was standing in the street of the city, before the palace gate: Esther 4:6
He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people. Esther 4:8
All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him? Esther 4:11
He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king's house, more than all the Jews: Esther 4:13
For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father's house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this? Esther 4:14
And again Esther sent to Mardochai in these words: Esther 4:15
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
And said: O Lord, Lord, almighty king, for all things are in thy power, and there is none that can resist thy will, if thou determine to save Israel. Esther 13:9
And when she had laid away her royal apparel, she put on garments suitable for weeping and mourning: instead of divers precious ointments, she covered her head with ashes and dung, and she humbled her body with fasts: and all the places in which before she was accustomed to rejoice, she filled with her torn hair. Esther 14:2
My danger is in my hands. Esther 14:4
We have sinned in thy sight, and therefore thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies: Esther 14:6
Remember, O Lord, and shew thyself to us in the time of our tribulation, and give me boldness, O Lord, king of gods, and of all power: Esther 14:12
Give me a well ordered speech in my mouth in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to the hatred of our enemy, that both he himself may perish, and the rest that consent to him. Esther 14:13
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 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
And glittering in royal robes, after she had called upon God the ruler and Saviour of all, she took two maids with her, Esther 15:5
But she with a rosy colour in her face, and with gracious and bright eyes hid a mind full of anguish, and exceeding great fear. Esther 15:8
So going in she passed through all the doors in order, and stood before the king, where he sat upon his royal throne, clothed with his royal robes, and glittering with gold, and precious stones, and he was terrible to behold. Esther 15:9
And God changed the king's spirit into mildness, and all in haste and in fear he leaped from his throne, and holding her up in his arms, till she came to herself, caressed her with these words: Esther 15:11
And while she was speaking, she fell down again, and was almost in a swoon. Esther 15:18
¤ And on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's hall: now he sat upon his throne in the hall of the palace, over against the door of the house. Esther 5:1
And when he saw Esther the queen standing, she pleased his eyes, and he held out toward her the golden sceptre, which he held in his hand and she drew near, and kissed the top of his sceptre. Esther 5:2
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
Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared. Esther 5:14
And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king's house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet, which was prepared for him. Esther 6:4
The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in. Esther 6:5
And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself, Esther 6:6
So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour. Esther 6:11
And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight. Esther 6:13
¤ So the king and Aman went in, to drink with the queen. Esther 7:1
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 when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king's mouth, and immediately they covered his face. Esther 7:8
And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman's house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it. Esther 7:9
¤ On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews' enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle. Esther 8:1
And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king's provinces, may be reversed by new letters. Esther 8:5
Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you in the king's name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king's name, and were sealed with his ring. Esther 8:8
And these letters which were sent in the king's name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages. Esther 8:10
And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil. Esther 8:11
And not only endeavour to oppress the king's subjects, but not bearing the glory that is given them, take in hand, to practise also against them that gave it. Esther 16:3
Neither are they content not to return thanks for benefits received, and to violate in themselves the laws of humanity, but they think they can also escape the justice of God who seeth all things. Esther 16:4
And they break out into so great madness, as to endeavour to undermine by lies such as observe diligently the offices committed to them, and do all things in such manner as to be worthy of all men's praise, Esther 16:5
Now that you may more plainly understand what we say, Aman the son of Amadathi, a Macedonian both in mind and country, and having nothing of the Persian blood, but with his cruelty staining our goodness, was received being a stranger by us: Esther 16:10
But we have found that the Jews, who were by that most wicked man appointed to be slain, are in no fault at all, but contrariwise, use just laws, Esther 16:15
Wherefore know ye that those letters which he sent in our name, are void and of no effect. Esther 16:17
But this edict, which we now send, shall be published in all cities, that the Jews may freely follow their own laws. Esther 16:19
Wherefore you shall also count this day among other festival days, and celebrate it with all joy, that it may be known also in times to come, Esther 16:22
And let every province and city, that will not be partaker of this solemnity, perish by the sword and by fire, and be destroyed in such manner as to be made unpassable, both to men and beasts, for an example of contempt, and disobedience. Esther 16:24
And this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies. Esther 8:13
So the swift posts went out carrying the messages, and the king's edict was hung up in Susan. Esther 8:14
And Mardochai going forth out of the palace, and from the king's presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky colour, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced, and was glad. Esther 8:15
And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king's commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: Insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all. Esther 8:17
And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people. Esther 9:2
And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai: Esther 9:3
Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these: Esther 9:6
And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king. Esther 9:11
And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done? Esther 9:12
And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do to morrow in Susan as they have done to day, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets. Esther 9:13
And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged. Esther 9:14
And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance. Esther 9:15
But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness. Esther 9:18
But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats. Esther 9:19
And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king's provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off, Esther 9:20
Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats, and should give gifts to the poor. Esther 9:22
And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets. Esther 9:25
And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book: Esther 9:26
These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies. Esther 9:28
And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth, Esther 9:30
And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots, Esther 9:31
And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther. Esther 9:32
And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians: Esther 10:2
And these days shall be observed in the month of Adar on the fourteenth, and fifteenth day of the same month, with all diligence, and joy of the people gathered into one assembly, throughout all the generations hereafter of the people of Israel. Esther 10:13
¤ In the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemy and Cleopatra, Dositheus, who said he was a priest, and of the Levitical race, and Ptolemy his son brought this epistle of Phurim, which they said Lysimachus the son of Ptolemy had interpreted in Jerusalem. Esther 11:1
‡ ¤ There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil. Job 1:1
And his sons went, and made a feast by houses, every one in his day. And sending, they called their three sisters, to eat and drink with them. Job 1:4
And when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early, offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all days. Job 1:5
And the Lord said to him: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil? Job 1:8
And Satan answering, said: Doth Job fear God in vain? Job 1:9
Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. Job 1:12
Now upon a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother, Job 1:13
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
He was yet speaking, and behold another came in, and said: Thy sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother, Job 1:18
In all these things Job sinned not by his lips, nor spoke he any foolish thing against God. Job 1:22
And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came amongst them, and stood in his sight, Job 2:1
And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause. Job 2:3
And the Lord said to Satan: Behold, he is in thy hand, but yet save his life. Job 2:6
And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die. Job 2:9
And he said to her: Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women: If we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not sin with his lips. Job 2:10
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived. Job 3:3
Let darkness, and the shadow of death, cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness. Job 3:5
Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months. Job 3:6
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
There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest. Job 3:17
Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul? Job 3:20
Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth, as it were, received the veins of its whisper. Job 4:12
In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men, Job 4:13
Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker? Job 4:17
Behold, they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness: Job 4:18
How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth? Job 4:19
And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom. Job 4:21
His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them. Job 5:4
Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked: Job 5:13
They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night. Job 5:14
And to the needy there shall be hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth. Job 5:16
In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee. Job 5:19
In famine he shall deliver thee from death; and in battle, from the hand of the sword. Job 5:20
In destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth. Job 5:22
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty, thou shalt not sin. Job 5:24
Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season. Job 5:26
Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind. Job 5:27
O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance. Job 6:2
For the arrows of the Lord are in me, the rage whereof drinketh up my spirit, and the terrors of the Lord war against me. Job 6:4
Behold there is no help for me in myself, and my familiar friends also are departed from me. Job 6:13
My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys. Job 6:15
The paths of their steps are entangled: they shall walk in vain, and shall perish. Job 6:18
You rush in upon the fatherless, and you endeavour to overthrow your friend. Job 6:27
And you shall not find iniquity in my tongue, neither shall folly sound in my mouth. Job 6:30
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
Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly. Job 7:18
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
Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity: Job 8:4
In so much, that if thy former things were small thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly. Job 8:7
When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs. Job 8:12
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath resisted him, and hath had peace? Job 9:4
Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not. Job 9:5
For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause. Job 9:17
But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain? Job 9:29
Yet thou shalt plunge me in filth, and my garments shall abhor me. Job 9:31
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
Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things. Job 10:13
For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight. Job 11:4
If thou wilt put away from thee the iniquity that is in thy hand, and let not injustice remain in thy tabernacle: Job 11:14
The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed. Job 12:5
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man. Job 12:10
In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence. Job 12:12
He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way. Job 12:24
They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk. Job 12:25
He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person. Job 13:10
Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands? Job 13:14

Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction. Pr. 24:32
Appear not glorious before the king, and stand not in the place of great men. Pr. 25:6
The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend. Pr. 25:8

He that boasteth and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed. Pr. 28:25
He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved. Pr. 28:26

Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest? Pr. 30:4
Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him. Pr. 30:5
A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness. Pr. 30:12
The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it. Pr. 30:17
The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth. Pr. 30:19
The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest: Pr. 30:25
The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock: Pr. 30:26
The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings' houses. Pr. 30:28
Give strong drink to them that are sad; and wine to them that are grieved in mind: Pr. 31:6
The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall have no need of spoils. Pr. 31:11
And she hath risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and victuals to her maidens. Pr. 31:15
She hath tasted, and seen that her traffic is good: her lamp shall not be put out in the night. Pr. 31:18

There is no remembrance of former things: nor indeed of those things which hereafter are to come, shall there be any remembrance with them that shall be in the latter end. Eccl. 1:11
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 spoken in my heart, saying: Behold I am become great, and have gone beyond all in wisdom, that were before me in Jerusalem: and my mind hath contemplated many things wisely, and I have learned. Eccl. 1:16
And I have given my heart to know prudence, and learning, and errors, and folly: and I have perceived that in these also there was labour, and vexation of spirit, Eccl. 1:17
Because in much wisdom there is much indignation: and he that addeth knowledge, addeth also labour. Eccl. 1:18
¤ I said in my heart: I will go, and abound with delights, and enjoy good things. And I saw that this also was vanity. Eccl. 2:1
I thought in my heart, to withdraw my flesh from wine, that I might turn my mind to wisdom, and might avoid folly, till I might see what was profitable for the children of men: and what they ought to do under the sun, all the days of their life. Eccl. 2:3
I got me menservants, and maidservants, and had a great family: and herds of oxen, and great flocks of sheep, above all that were before me in Jerusalem: Eccl. 2:7
And I surpassed in riches all that were before me in Jerusalem: my wisdom also remained with me. Eccl. 2:9
And 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
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
For there shall be no remembrance of the wise no more than of the fool forever, and the times to come shall cover all things together with oblivion: the learned dieth in like manner as the unlearned. Eccl. 2:16
For when a man laboureth in wisdom, and knowledge, and carefulness, he leaveth what he hath gotten to an idle man: so this also is vanity, and a great evil. Eccl. 2:21
All his days are full of sorrows and miseries, even in the night he doth not rest in mind: and is not this vanity? Eccl. 2:23
God hath given to a man that is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he hath given vexation, and superfluous care, to heap up and to gather together, and to give it to him that hath pleased God: but this also is vanity, and a fruitless solicitude of the mind. Eccl. 2:26
¤ All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven. Eccl. 3:1
I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it. Eccl. 3:10
He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end. Eccl. 3:11
And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life. Eccl. 3:12
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
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
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
The number of the people, of all that were before him is infinite: and they that shall come afterwards, shall not rejoice in him: but this also is vanity, and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 4:16
Speak not any thing rashly, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. Eccl. 5:2
Dreams follow many cares: and in many words shall be found folly. Eccl. 5:3
If thou shalt see the oppressions of the poor, and violent judgments, and justice perverted in the province, wonder not at this matter: for he that is high hath another higher, and there are others still higher than these: Eccl. 5:8
For they are lost with very great affliction: he hath begotten a son, who shall be in extremity of want. Eccl. 5:14
All the days of his life he eateth in darkness, and in many cares, and in misery, and sorrow. Eccl. 5:17
For he came in vain, and goeth to darkness, and his name shall be wholly forgotten. Eccl. 6:4
He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself. Eccl. 6:10
There are many words that have much vanity in disputing. Eccl. 6:11
What needeth a man to seek things that are above him, whereas he knoweth not what is profitable for him in his life, in all the days of his pilgrimage, and the time that passeth like a shadow? Or who can tell him what shall be after him under the sun? Eccl. 6:12
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come. Eccl. 7:2
Be not quickly angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of a fool. Eccl. 7:9
For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them. Eccl. 7:12
In the good day enjoy good things, and beware beforehand of the evil day: for God hath made both the one and the other, that man may not find against him any just complaint. Eccl. 7:14
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
¤ The wisdom of a man shineth in his countenance, and the most mighty will change his face. Eccl. 8:1
Be not hasty to depart from his face, and do not continue in an evil work: for he will do all that pleaseth him: Eccl. 8:3
It is not in man's power to stop the spirit, neither hath he power in the day of death, neither is he suffered to rest when war is at hand, neither shall wickedness save the wicked. Eccl. 8:8
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
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
¤ 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
Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy are all perished, neither have they any part in this world, and in the work that is done under the sun. Eccl. 9:6
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest, all the days of thy unsteady life, which are given to thee under the sun, all the time of thy vanity: for this is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherewith thou labourest under the sun. Eccl. 9:9
Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge shall be in hell, whither thou art hastening. Eccl. 9:10
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
Man knoweth not his own end: but as fishes are taken with the hook, and as birds are caught with the snare, so men are taken in the evil time, when it shall suddenly come upon them. Eccl. 9:12
A little city, and few men in it: there came against it a great king, and invested it, and built bulwarks round about it, and the siege was perfect. Eccl. 9:14
Now there was found in it a man poor and wise, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, and no man afterward remembered that poor man. Eccl. 9:15
The words of the wise are heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools. Eccl. 9:17
Better is wisdom, than weapons of war: and he that shall offend in one, shall lose many good things. Eccl. 9:18
The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a fool is in his left hand. Eccl. 10:2
Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas he himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools. Eccl. 10:3
A fool set in high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath. Eccl. 10:6
If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly. Eccl. 10:11
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and when the princes eat in the morning. Eccl. 10:16
Blessed is the land, whose king is noble, and whose princes eat in due season for refreshment, and not for riotousness. Eccl. 10:17
Detract not the king, no not in thy thought; and speak not evil of the rich man in thy private chamber: because even the birds of the air will carry thy voice, and he that hath wings will tell what thou hast said. Eccl. 10:20
If the clouds be full, they will pour out rain upon the earth. If the tree fall to the south, or to the north, in what place soever it shall fall, there shall it be. Eccl. 11:3
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones are joined together in the womb of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the works of God, who is the maker of all. Eccl. 11:5
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thy hand cease: for thou knowest not which may rather spring up, this or that: and if both together, it shall be the better. Eccl. 11:6
If a man live many years, and have rejoiced in them all, he must remember the darksome time, and the many days: which when they shall come, the things past shall be accused of vanity. Eccl. 11:8
Rejoice therefore, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart be in that which is good in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: and know that for all these God will bring thee into judgment. Eccl. 11:9
¤ Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the time of affliction come, and the years draw nigh of which thou shalt say: They please me not: Eccl. 12:1
When the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall stagger, and the grinders shall be idle in a small number, and they that look through the holes shall be darkened: Eccl. 12:3
And they shall shut the doors in the street, when the grinder's voice shall be low, and they shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall grow deaf. Eccl. 12:4
And they shall fear high things, and they shall be afraid in the way, the almond tree shall flourish, the locust shall be made fat, and the caper tree shall be destroyed: because man shall go into the house of his eternity, and the mourners shall go round about in the street. Eccl. 12:5
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails deeply fastened in, which by the counsel of masters are given from one shepherd. Eccl. 12:11
Draw me: we will run after thee to the odour of thy ointments. The king hath brought me into his storerooms: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, remembering thy breasts more than wine: the righteous love thee. Cant. 1:4
Do not consider me that I am brown, because the sun hath altered my colour: the sons of my mother have fought against me, they have made me the keeper in the vineyards: my vineyard I have not kept. Cant. 1:6
Shew me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou liest in the midday, lest I begin to wander after the flocks of thy companions. Cant. 1:7
To my company of horsemen, in Pharao's chariots, have I likened thee, O my love. Cant. 1:9
A cluster of cypress my love is to me, in the vineyards of Engaddi. Cant. 1:14
He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me. Cant. 2:4
The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land: Cant. 2:12
The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the vines in flower yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come: Cant. 2:13
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall, shew me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears: for thy voice is sweet, and thy face comely. Cant. 2:14
¤ In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and found him not. Cant. 3:1
I will rise, and will go about the city: in the streets and the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and I found him not. Cant. 3:2
All holding swords, and most expert in war: every man's sword upon his thigh, because of fears in the night. Cant. 3:8
Go forth, ye daughters of Sion, and see king Solomon in the diadem, wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals and in the day of the joy of his heart. Cant. 3:11
Thou art all fair, O my love, and there is not a spot in thee. Cant. 4:7
My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the bed of aromatical spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. Cant. 6:2
Thou art beautiful, O my love, sweet and comely as Jerusalem terrible as an army set in array. Cant. 6:4
Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array? Cant. 6:10
¤ What shalt thou see in the Sulamitess but the companies of camps? How beautiful are thy steps in shoes, O prince's daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, that are made by the hand of a skilful workman. Cant. 7:1
Thy neck as a tower of ivory. Thy eyes like the fishpools in Hesebon, which are in the gate of the daughter of the multitude. Thy nose is as the tower of Libanus, that looketh toward Damascus. Cant. 7:4
Thy head is like Carmel: and the hairs of thy head as the purple of the king bound in the channels. Cant. 7:5
How beautiful art thou, and how comely, my dearest, in delights! Cant. 7:6
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field, let us abide in the villages. Cant. 7:11
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
Our sister is little, and hath no breasts. What shall we do to our sister in the day when she is to be spoken to? Cant. 8:8
I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace. Cant. 8:10
The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver. Cant. 8:11
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the friends hearken: make me hear thy voice. Cant. 8:13
‡ ¤ Love justice, you that are the judges of the earth. Think of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of heart: Wis. 1:1
For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he sheweth himself to them that have faith in him. Wis. 1:2
For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins. Wis. 1:4
For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in. Wis. 1:5
Seek not death in the error of your life, neither procure ye destruction by the works of your hands. Wis. 1:12
For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. Wis. 1:13
For he created all things that they might be: and he made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth. Wis. 1:14
¤ For they have said, reasoning with themselves, but not right: The time of our life is short and tedious, and in the end of a man there is no remedy, and no man hath been known to have returned from hell: Wis. 2:1
For we are born of nothing, and after this we shall be as if we had not been: for the breath in our nostrils is smoke: and speech a spark to move our heart, Wis. 2:2
And our name in time shall be forgotten, and no man shall have any remembrance of our works. Wis. 2:4
Come, therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth. Wis. 2:6
Let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us every where leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot. Wis. 2:9
Let us, therefore, lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life. Wis. 2:12
¤ But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. Wis. 3:1
In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: Wis. 3:2
And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. Wis. 3:3
And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Wis. 3:4
Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself. Wis. 3:5
As gold in the furnace, he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust, he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. Wis. 3:6
They that trust in him shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love, shall rest in him: for grace and peace are to his elect. Wis. 3:9
Their offspring is cursed, for happy is the barren: and the undefiled, that hath not known bed in sin, she shall have fruit in the visitation of holy souls. Wis. 3:13
And the eunuch, that hath not wrought iniquity with his hands, nor thought wicked things against God for the precious gift of faith shall be given to him, and a most acceptable lot in the temple of God. Wis. 3:14
And if they die quickly, they shall have no hope, nor speech of comfort in the day of trial. Wis. 3:18
And if they flourish in branches for a time, yet standing not fast, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out. Wis. 4:4
For the children that are born of unlawful beds, are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial. Wis. 4:6
But the just man, if he be prevented with death, shall be in rest. Wis. 4:7
Being made perfect in a short space, he fulfilled a long time. Wis. 4:13
For his soul pleased God: therefore he hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities: but the people see this, and understand not, nor lay up such things in their hearts: Wis. 4:14
For they shall see the end of the wise man, and shall not understand what God hath designed for him, and why the Lord hath set him in safety. Wis. 4:17
And they shall fall after this without honour, and be a reproach among the dead for ever: for he shall burst them puffed up and speechless, and shall shake them from the foundations, and they shall be utterly laid waste: they shall be in sorrow, and their memory shall perish. Wis. 4:19
Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had sometime in derision, and for a parable of reproach. Wis. 5:3
We wearied ourselves in the way of iniquity and destruction, and have walked through hard ways, but the way of the Lord we have not known. Wis. 5:7
And as a ship, that passeth through the waves: whereof when it is gone by, the trace cannot be found, nor the path of its keel in the waters: Wis. 5:10
So we also being born, forthwith ceased to be: and have been able to shew no mark of virtue: but are consumed in our wickedness. Wis. 5:13
Such things as these the sinners said in hell: Wis. 5:14
And thick hail shall be cast upon them from the stone casting wrath: the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the rivers shall run together in a terrible manner. Wis. 5:23
Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in multitudes of nations: Wis. 6:3
For God will not except any man's person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all. Wis. 6:8
For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, and she sheweth herself to them cheerfully in the ways, and meeteth them with all providence. Wis. 6:17
If then your delight be in thrones, and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, love wisdom, that you may reign for ever. Wis. 6:22
¤ 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
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
And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all. Wis. 7:12
For in his hand are both we, and our words, and all wisdom, and the knowledge and skill of works. Wis. 7:16
For in her is the spirit of understanding; holy, one, manifold, subtile, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, beneficent, Wis. 7:22
And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself the same, she reneweth all things, and through nations conveyeth herself into holy souls, she maketh the friends of God and prophets. Wis. 7:27
And if riches be desired in life, what is richer than wisdom, which maketh all things? Wis. 8:5
And if a man love justice: her labours have great virtues: for she teacheth temperance, and prudence, and justice, and fortitude, which are such things as men can have nothing more profitable in life. Wis. 8:7
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
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
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
Thinking these things with myself, and pondering them in my heart, that to be allied to wisdom is immortality, Wis. 8:17
And that there is great delight in her friendship, and inexhaustible riches in the works of her hands, and in the exercise of conference with her, wisdom, and glory in the communication of her words: I went about seeking, that I might take her to myself. Wis. 8:18
And hast commanded me to build a temple on thy holy mount, and an altar in the city of thy dwelling place, a resemblance of thy holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning: Wis. 9:8
And thy wisdom with thee, which knoweth thy works, which then also was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was agreeable to thy eyes, and what was right in thy commandments. Wis. 9:9
For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and shall lead me soberly in my works, and shall preserve me by her power. Wis. 9:11
And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth: and with labour do we find the things that are before us. But the things that are in heaven, who shall search out? Wis. 9:16
But when the unjust went away from her in his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother. Wis. 10:3
For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things; but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid. Wis. 10:8
She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours. Wis. 10:10
In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable. Wis. 10:11
And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory. Wis. 10:14
She entered into the soul of the servant of God and stood against dreadful kings in wonders and signs. Wis. 10:16
And she rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night: Wis. 10:17
But their enemies she drowned in the sea, and from the depth of hell she brought them out. Therefore the just took the spoils of the wicked. Wis. 10:19
¤ She prospered their works in the hands of the holy prophet. Wis. 11:1
They went through wildernesses that were not inhabited, and in desert places they pitched their tents. Wis. 11:2
By the same things they in their need were benefited. Wis. 11:6
For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just. Wis. 11:15
Yea, and without these, they might have been slain with one blast, persecuted by their own deeds, and scattered by the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight. Wis. 11:21
¤ O how good and sweet is thy Spirit, O Lord, in all things! Wis. 12:1
And therefore thou chastisest them that err, by little and little: and admonishest them, and speakest to them, concerning the things wherein they offend: that leaving their wickedness, they may believe in thee, O Lord. Wis. 12:2
Neither shall king, nor tyrant, in thy sight inquire about them whom thou hast destroyed. Wis. 12:14
For thou shewest thy power, when men will not believe thee to be absolute in power, and thou convincest the boldness of them that know thee not. Wis. 12:17
But thou hast taught thy people by such works, that they must be just and humane, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope: because in judging, thou givest place for repentance for sins. Wis. 12:19
Wherefore thou hast also greatly tormented them, who, in their life, have lived foolishly and unjustly, by the same things which they worshipped. Wis. 12:23
For they went astray for a long time in the ways of error, holding those things for gods which are the most worthless among beasts, living after the manner of children without understanding. Wis. 12:24
For seeing, with indignation, that they suffered by those very things which they took for gods, when they were destroyed by the same, they acknowledged him the true God, whom in time past they denied that they knew: for which cause the end also of their condemnation came upon them. Wis. 12:27
¤ But all men are vain, in whom there is not the knowledge of God: and who by these good things that are seen, could not understand him that is, neither by attending to the works have acknowledged who was the workman: Wis. 13:1
Or if an artist, a carpenter, hath cut down a tree proper for his use in the wood, and skilfully taken off all the bark thereof, and with his art, diligently formeth a vessel profitable for the common uses of life, Wis. 13:11
Or the resemblance of some beast, laying it over with vermillion, and painting it red, and covering every spot that is in it: Wis. 13:14
And maketh a convenient dwelling place for it, and setting it in a wall, and fastening it with iron, Wis. 13:15
But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way even in the sea, and a most sure path among the waves, Wis. 14:3
Then, in process of time, wicked custom prevailing, this error was kept as a law, and statues were worshipped by the commandment of tyrants. Wis. 14:16
And those whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they brought their resemblance from afar, and made an express image of the king, whom they had a mind to honour: that by this their diligence, they might honour as present, him that was absent. Wis. 14:17
For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner. Wis. 14:19
And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace. Wis. 14:22
Forgetfulness of God, defiling of souls, changing of nature, disorder in marriage, and the irregularity of adultery and uncleanness. Wis. 14:26
For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt. Wis. 14:29
But for both these things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice. Wis. 14:30
¤ But thou, our God, art gracious and true, patient, and ordering all things in mercy. Wis. 15:1
The lovers of evil things deserve to have no better things to trust in, both they that make them, and they that love them, and they that worship them. Wis. 15:6
But his care is, not that he shall labour, nor that his life is short, but he striveth with the goldsmiths and silversmiths: and he endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it a glory to make vain things. Wis. 15:9
But all the enemies of thy people that hold them in subjection, are foolish, and unhappy, and proud beyond measure: Wis. 15:14
But thy wrath endured not for ever, but they were troubled for a short time for their correction, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law. Wis. 16:6
And in this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he who deliverest from all evil. Wis. 16:8
And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just. Wis. 16:17
And at another time the fire, above its own power, burnt in the midst of water, to destroy the fruits of a wicked land. Wis. 16:19
Instead of which things, thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven, prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste. Wis. 16:20
But snow and ice endured the force of fire, and melted not: that they might know that the fire, burning in the hail, and flashing in the rain, destroyed the fruits of the enemies. Wis. 16:22
For the creature serving thee, the Creator, is made fierce against the unjust for their punishment: and abateth its strength for the benefit of them that trust in thee. Wis. 16:24
That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovedst, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth men, but thy word preserveth them that believe in thee. Wis. 16:26
For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the eternal providence. Wis. 17:2
And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfullness, being horribly afraid, and troubled with exceeding great astonishment. Wis. 17:3
But they that during that night, in which nothing could be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the same sleep, Wis. 17:13
Moreover, if any of them had fallen down, he was kept shut up in prison without irons. Wis. 17:15
For if any one were a husbandman, or a shepherd, or a labourer in the field, and was suddenly overtaken, he endured a necessity from which he could not fly. Wis. 17:16
For the whole world was enlightened, with a clear light, and none were hindered in their labours. Wis. 17:19
The others indeed were worthy to be deprived of light, and imprisoned in darkness, who kept thy children shut up, by whom the pure light of the law was to be given to the world. Wis. 18:4
And whereas they thought to kill the babes of the just: one child being cast forth, and saved to reprove them, thou tookest away a multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water. Wis. 18:5
And the servant suffered the same punishment as the master, and a common man suffered in like manner as the king. Wis. 18:11
So all alike had innumerable dead, with one kind of death. Neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed. Wis. 18:12
For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, Wis. 18:14
But the just also were afterwards touched by an assault of death, and there was a disturbance of the multitude in the wilderness: but thy wrath did not long continue; Wis. 18:20
For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones, the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head. Wis. 18:24
For a cloud overshadowed their camp and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea a way without hindrance, and out of the great deep a springing field: Wis. 19:7
For they were yet mindful of those things which had been done in the time of their sojourning, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes. Wis. 19:10
And not only so, but in another respect also they were worse: for the others against their will received the strangers. Wis. 19:14
For while the elements are changed in themselves, as in an instrument the sound of the quality is changed, yet all keep their sound: which may clearly be perceived by the very sight. Wis. 19:17
For the things of the land were turned into things of the water: and the things that before swam in the water passed upon the land. Wis. 19:18
The fire had power in water above its own virtue, and the water forgot its quenching nature. Wis. 19:19
On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of corruptible animals walking therein, neither did they melt that good food, which was apt to melt as ice. For in all things thou didst magnify thy people, O Lord, and didst honour them, and didst not despise them, but didst assist them at all times, and in every place. Wis. 19:20
He created her in the Holy Ghost, and saw her, and numbered her, and measured her. Sir. 1:9
With him that feareth the Lord, it shall go well in the latter end, and in the day of his death he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:13
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and was created with the faithful in the womb, it walketh with chosen women, and is known with the just and faithful. Sir. 1:16
It shall go well with him that feareth the Lord, and in the days of his end he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:19
In the treasures of wisdom is understanding, and religiousness of knowledge: but to sinners wisdom is an abomination. Sir. 1:26
In the treasures of wisdom is the signification of discipline: Sir. 1:31
Be not a hypocrite in the sight of men, and let not thy lips be a stumblingblock to thee. Sir. 1:37
And God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation. Sir. 1:39
¤ Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation. Sir. 2:1
Humble thy heart, and endure: incline thy ear, and receive the words of understanding: and make not haste in the time of clouds. Sir. 2:2
Wait on God with patience: join thyself to God, and endure, that thy life may be increased in the latter end. Sir. 2:3
Take all that shall be brought upon thee: and in thy sorrow endure, and in thy humiliation keep patience. Sir. 2:4
For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation. Sir. 2:5
Believe God, and he will recover thee: and direct thy way, and trust in him. Keep his fear, and grow old therein. Sir. 2:6
Ye that fear the Lord hope in him, and mercy shall come to you for your delight. Sir. 2:9
My children behold the generations of men: and know ye that no one hath hoped in the Lord, and hath been confounded. Sir. 2:11
For who hath continued in his commandment, and hath been forsaken? or who hath called upon him, and he despised him? Sir. 2:12
For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth. Sir. 2:13
They that fear the Lord, will prepare their hearts, and in his sight will sanctify their souls, Sir. 2:20
He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days. Sir. 3:4
He that honoureth his father shall have joy in his own children, and in the day of his prayer he shall be heard. Sir. 3:6
Honour thy father, in work and word, and all patience, Sir. 3:9
That a blessing may come upon thee from him, and his blessing may remain in the latter end. Sir. 3:10
Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee. Sir. 3:12
Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life; Sir. 3:14
And if his understanding fail, have patience with him, and despise him not when thou art in thy strength: for the relieving of the father shall not be forgotten. Sir. 3:15
And in justice thou shalt be built up, and in the day of affliction thou shalt be remembered: and thy sins shall melt away as the ice in the fair warm weather. Sir. 3:17
My son, do thy works in meekness, and thou shalt be beloved above the glory of men. Sir. 3:19
The greater thou art, the more humble thyself in all things, and thou shalt find grace before God: Sir. 3:20
Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability: but the things that God hath commanded thee, think on them always, and in many of his works be not curious. Sir. 3:22
In unnecessary matters be not over curious, and in many of his works thou shalt not be inquisitive. Sir. 3:24
And the suspicion of them hath deceived many, and hath detained their minds in vanity. Sir. 3:26
A hard heart shall fear evil at the last: and he that loveth danger shall perish in it. Sir. 3:27
The congregation of the proud shall not be healed: for the plant of wickedness shall take root in them, and it shall not be perceived. Sir. 3:30
The heart of the wise is understood in wisdom, and a good ear will hear wisdom with all desire. Sir. 3:31
A wise heart, and which hath understanding, will abstain from sins, and in the works of justice shall have success. Sir. 3:32
And God provideth for him that sheweth favour: he remembereth him afterwards, and in the time of his fall he shall find a sure stay. Sir. 3:34
Despise not the hungry soul: and provoke not the poor in his want. Sir. 4:2
Afflict not the heart of the needy, and defer not to give to him that is in distress. Sir. 4:3
For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him. Sir. 4:6
Deliver him that suffereth wrong out of the hand of the proud: and be not fainthearted in thy soul. Sir. 4:9
In judging be merciful to the fatherless as a father, and as a husband to their mother. Sir. 4:10
Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice. Sir. 4:12
If he trust to her, he shall inherit her, and his generation shall be in assurance. Sir. 4:17
For she walketh with him in temptation, and at the first she chooseth him. Sir. 4:18
Reverence not thy neighbour in his fall: Sir. 4:27
And refrain not to speak in the time of salvation. Hide not thy wisdom in her beauty. Sir. 4:28
For by the tongue wisdom is discerned: and understanding, and knowledge, and learning by the word of the wise, and steadfastness in the works of justice. Sir. 4:29
In nowise speak against the truth, but be ashamed of the lie of thy ignorance. Sir. 4:30
Be not hasty in thy tongue: and slack and remiss in thy works. Sir. 4:34
Be not as a lion in thy house, terrifying them of thy household, and oppressing them that are under thee. Sir. 4:35
¤ 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
Follow not in thy strength the desires of thy heart: Sir. 5:2
For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee. Sir. 5:9
Be not anxious for goods unjustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity and revenge. Sir. 5:10
Be steadfast in the way of the Lord, and in the truth of thy judgment, and in knowledge, and let the word of peace and justice keep with thee. Sir. 5:12
If thou have understanding, answer thy neighbour: but if not, let thy hand be upon thy mouth, lest thou be surprised in an unskilful word, and be confounded. Sir. 5:14
Honour and glory is in the word of the wise, but the tongue of the fool is his ruin. Sir. 5:15
Be not called a whisperer, and be not taken in thy tongue, and confounded. Sir. 5:16
Extol not thyself in the thoughts of thy soul like a bull: lest thy strength be quashed by folly, Sir. 6:2
And it eat up thy leaves, and destroy thy fruit, and thou be left as a dry tree in the wilderness. Sir. 6:3
A sweet word multiplieth friends, and appeaseth enemies, and a gracious tongue in a good man aboundeth. Sir. 6:5
Be in peace with many, but let one of a thousand be thy counsellor. Sir. 6:6
For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble. Sir. 6:8
And there is a friend a companion at the table, and he will not abide in the day of distress. Sir. 6:10
For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits. Sir. 6:20
For in the latter end thou shalt find rest in her, and she shall be turned to thy joy. Sir. 6:29
For in her is the beauty of life, and her bands are a healthful binding. Sir. 6:31
Stand in the multitude of ancients that are wise, and join thyself from thy heart to their wisdom, that thou mayst hear every discourse of God, and the sayings of praise may not escape thee. Sir. 6:35
And if thou see a man of understanding, go to him early in the morning, and let thy foot wear the steps of his doors. Sir. 6:36
My son, sow not evils in the furrows of injustice, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold. Sir. 7:3
Offend not against the multitude of a city, neither cast thyself in upon the people, Sir. 7:7
Nor bind sin to sin: for even in one thou shalt not be unpunished. Sir. 7:8
Be not fainthearted in thy mind: Sir. 7:9
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one that humbleth and exalteth, God who seeth all. Sir. 7:12
Be not full of words in a multitude of ancients, and repeat not the word in thy prayer. Sir. 7:15
Depart not from a wise and good wife, whom thou hast gotten in the fear of the Lord: for the grace of her modesty is above gold. Sir. 7:21
A gift hath grace in the sight of all the living, and restrain not grace from the dead. Sir. 7:37
Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that mourn. Sir. 7:38
Be not slow to visit the sick: for by these things thou shalt be confirmed in love. Sir. 7:39
In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin. Sir. 7:40
Despise not a man in his old age; for we also shall become old. Sir. 8:7
For of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give an answer in time of need. Sir. 8:12
Stand not against the face of an injurious person, lest he sit as a spy to entrap thee in thy words. Sir. 8:14
Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee. Sir. 8:19
¤ Be not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, lest she shew in thy regard the malice of a wicked lesson. Sir. 9:1
Give not thy soul to harlots in any point: lest thou destroy thyself and thy inheritance. Sir. 9:6
Look not round about thee in the ways of the city, nor wander up and down in the streets thereof. Sir. 9:7
Every woman that is a harlot, shall be trodden upon as dung in the way. Sir. 9:10
Know it to be a communication with death: for thou art going in the midst of snares, and walking upon the arms of them that are grieved. Sir. 9:20
Let just men be thy guests, and let thy glory be in the fear of God. Sir. 9:22
And let the thought of God be in thy mind, and all thy discourse on the commandments of the Highest. Sir. 9:23
A man full of tongue is terrible in his city, and he that is rash in his word shall be hateful. Sir. 9:25
The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it. Sir. 10:4
The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour. Sir. 10:5
Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end. Sir. 10:15
God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead. Sir. 10:17
God hath abolished the memory of the proud, and hath preserved the memory of them that are humble in mind. Sir. 10:21
In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. Sir. 10:24
The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. Sir. 10:27
Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress; Sir. 10:29
Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread. Sir. 10:30
My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert. Sir. 10:31
But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty. Sir. 10:34
¤ The wisdom of the humble shall exalt his head, and shall make him sit in the midst of great men. Sir. 11:1
Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, and hidden. Sir. 11:4
Before thou hear, answer not a word: and interrupt not others in the midst of their discourse. Sir. 11:8
Strive not in a matter which doth not concern thee, and sit not in judgment with sinners. Sir. 11:9
There is an ungodly man that laboureth, and maketh haste, and is in sorrow, and is so much the more in want. Sir. 11:11
Again, there is an inactive man that wanteth help, is very weak in ability, and full of poverty: Sir. 11:12
Error and darkness are created with sinners: and they that glory in evil things, grow old in evil. Sir. 11:16
In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone: Sir. 11:19
Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, and grow old in the work of thy commandments. Sir. 11:21
Abide not in the works of sinners. But trust in God, and stay in thy place, Sir. 11:22
For it is easy in the eyes of God on a sudden to make the poor man rich. Sir. 11:23
The blessing of God maketh haste to reward the just, and in a swift hour his blessing beareth fruit. Sir. 11:24
In the day of good things be not unmindful of evils: and in the day of evils be not unmindful of good things: Sir. 11:27
For it is easy before God in the day of death to reward every one according to his ways. Sir. 11:28
The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works. Sir. 11:29
For he lieth in wait and turneth good into evil, and on the elect he will lay a blot. Sir. 11:33
Of one spark cometh a great fire, and of one deceitful man much blood: and a sinful man lieth in wait for blood. Sir. 11:34
Receive a stranger in, and he shall overthrow thee with a whirlwind, and shall turn thee out of thy own. Sir. 11:36
For there is no good for him that is always occupied in evil, and that giveth no alms: for the Highest hateth sinners, and hath mercy on the penitent. Sir. 12:3
A friend shall not be known in prosperity, and an enemy shall not be hidden in adversity. Sir. 12:8
In the prosperity of a man, his enemies are grieved: and a friend is known in his adversity. Sir. 12:9
Who will pity an enchanter struck by a serpent, or any that come near wild beasts? so is it with him that keepeth company with a wicked man, and is involved in his sins. Sir. 12:13
An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he lieth in wait, to throw thee into a pit. Sir. 12:15
An enemy hath tears in his eyes, and while he pretendeth to help thee, will undermine thy feet. Sir. 12:18
If he have need of thee he will deceive thee, and smiling upon thee will put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and will say: What wantest thou? Sir. 13:7
Be not lowly in thy wisdom, lest being humbled thou be deceived into folly. Sir. 13:11
Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin. Sir. 13:16
When thou hearest those things, see as it were in sleep, and thou shalt awake. Sir. 13:17
The wild ass is the lion's prey in the desert: so also the poor are devoured by the rich. Sir. 13:23
Riches are good to him that hath no sin in his conscience: and poverty is very wicked in the mouth of the ungodly. Sir. 13:30
He that gathereth together by wronging his own soul, gathereth for others, and another will squander away his goods in rioting. Sir. 14:4
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? and he shall not take pleasure in his goods. Sir. 14:5
The eye of the covetous man is insatiable in his portion of iniquity: he will not be satisfied till he consume his own soul, drying it up. Sir. 14:9
Before thy death work justice: for in hell there is no finding food. Sir. 14:17
Every work that is corruptible shall fail in the end: and the worker thereof shall go with it. Sir. 14:20
Blessed is the man that shall continue in wisdom, and that shall meditate in his justice, and in his mind shall think of the all seeing eye of God. Sir. 14:22
He that considereth her ways in his heart, and hath understanding in her secrets, who goeth after her as one that traceth, and stayeth in her ways. Sir. 14:23
He who looketh in at her windows, and hearkeneth at her door. Sir. 14:24
He that lodgeth near her house, and fastening a pin in her walls shall set up his tent nigh unto her, where good things shall rest in his lodging for ever. Sir. 14:25
He shall be protected under her covering from the heat, and shall rest in her glory. Sir. 14:27
With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved. Sir. 15:3
And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory. Sir. 15:5
Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner: Sir. 15:9
For wisdom came forth from God: for praise shall be with the wisdom of God, and shall abound in a faithful mouth, and the sovereign Lord will give praise unto it. Sir. 15:10
God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel. Sir. 15:14
For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing. Sir. 15:19
¤ Rejoice not in ungodly children, if they be multiplied: neither be delighted in them, if the fear of God be not with them. Sir. 16:1
In the congregation of sinners a fire shall be kindled, and in an unbelieving nation wrath shall flame out. Sir. 16:7
He had not pity on them, destroying the whole nation that extolled themselves in their sins. Sir. 16:10
So did he with the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their heart: and if one had been stiffnecked, it is a wonder if he had escaped unpunished: Sir. 16:11
The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off. Sir. 16:14
In such a multitude I shall not be known: for what is my soul in such an immense creation? Sir. 16:17
Behold the heaven, and the heavens of heavens, the deep, and all the earth, and the things that are in them, shall be moved in his sight, Sir. 16:18
And in all these things the heart is senseless: and every heart is understood by him. Sir. 16:20
For many of his works are hidden, but the works of his justice who shall declare? or who shall endure? for the testament is far from some, and the examination of all is in the end. Sir. 16:22
Hearken to me, my son, and learn the discipline of understanding, and attend to my words in thy heart. Sir. 16:24
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
The works of God are done in judgment from the beginning, and from the making of them he distinguished their parts, and their beginnings in their generations. Sir. 16:26
He created in them the science of the spirit, he filled their heart with wisdom, and shewed them both good and evil. Sir. 17:6
That they might praise the name which he hath sanctified: and glory in his wondrous acts that they might declare the glorious things of his works. Sir. 17:8
And all their works are as the sun in the sight of God: and his eyes are continually upon their ways. Sir. 17:16
Their covenants were not hid by their iniquity, and all their iniquities are in the sight of God. Sir. 17:17
But to the penitent he hath given the way of justice, and he hath strengthened them that were fainting in patience, and hath appointed to them the lot of truth. Sir. 17:20
And know the justices and judgments of God, and stand firm in the lot set before thee, and in prayer to the most high God. Sir. 17:24
Tarry not in the error of the ungodly, give glory before death. Praise perisheth from the dead as nothing. Sir. 17:26
Give thanks whilst thou art living, whilst thou art alive and in health thou shalt give thanks, and shalt praise God, and shalt glory in his mercies. Sir. 17:27
For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal, and they are delighted with the vanity of evil. Sir. 17:29
Therefore God is patient in them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them. Sir. 18:9
Therefore hath he filled up his mercy in their favour, and hath shewn them the way of justice. Sir. 18:11
He hath mercy on him that receiveth the discipline of mercy, and that maketh haste in his judgments. Sir. 18:14
My son, in thy good deeds, make no complaint, and when thou givest any thing, add not grief by an evil word. Sir. 18:15
Before sickness take a medicine, and before judgment examine thyself, and thou shalt find mercy in the sight of God. Sir. 18:20
Humble thyself before thou art sick, and in the time of sickness shew thy conversation. Sir. 18:21
Remember poverty in the time of abundance, and the necessities of poverty in the day of riches. Sir. 18:25
From the morning until the evening the time shall be changed, and all these are swift in the eyes of God. Sir. 18:26
A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the days of sins will beware of sloth. Sir. 18:27
They that were of good understanding in words, have also done wisely themselves: and have understood truth and justice, and have poured forth proverbs and judgments. Sir. 18:29
Take no pleasure in riotous assemblies, be they ever so small: for their concertation is continual. Sir. 18:32
Make not thyself poor by borrowing to contribute to feasts when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt be an enemy to thy own life. Sir. 18:33
He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil. Sir. 19:5
At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning in the bringing forth a child. Sir. 19:11
As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool. Sir. 19:12
And give place to the fear of the most High: for the fear of God is all wisdom, and therein is to fear God, and the disposition of the law is in all wisdom. Sir. 19:18
There is a subtle wickedness, and the same is detestable: and there is a man that is foolish, wanting in wisdom. Sir. 19:20
Better is a man that hath less wisdom, and wanteth understanding, with the fear of God, than he that aboundeth in understanding, and transgresseth the law of the most High. Sir. 19:21
There is a lying rebuke in the anger of an injurious man: and there is a judgment that is not allowed to be good: and there is one that holdeth his peace, he is wise. Sir. 19:28
¤ How much better is it to reprove, than to be angry, and not to hinder him that confesseth in prayer. Sir. 20:1
There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech. Sir. 20:5
There is success in evil things to a man without discipline, and there is a finding that turneth to loss. Sir. 20:9
A man wise in words shall make himself beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out. Sir. 20:13
For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had. Sir. 20:19
A man without grace is as a vain fable, it shall be continually in the mouth of the unwise. Sir. 20:21
A parable coming out of a fool's mouth shall be rejected: for he doth not speak it in due season. Sir. 20:22
There is that is hindered from sinning through want, and in his rest he shall be pricked. Sir. 20:23
A lie is a foul blot in a man, and yet it will be continually in the mouth of men without discipline. Sir. 20:26
Presents and gifts blind the eyes of judges, and make them dumb in the mouth, so that they cannot correct. Sir. 20:31
O Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is not seen: what profit is there in them both? Sir. 20:32
He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart. Sir. 21:7
He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter. Sir. 21:9
The way of sinners is made plain with stones, and in their end is hell, and darkness, and pains. Sir. 21:11
He that is not wise in good, will not be taught. Sir. 21:14
But there is a wisdom that aboundeth in evil: and there is no understanding where there is bitterness. Sir. 21:15
The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but in the lips of the wise, grace shall be found. Sir. 21:19
The mouth of the prudent is sought after in the church, and they will think upon his words in their hearts. Sir. 21:20
A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself. Sir. 21:23
The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty. Sir. 21:25
The lips of the unwise will be telling foolish things: but the words of the wise shall be weighed in a balance. Sir. 21:28
The heart of fools is in their mouth: and the mouth of wise men is in their heart. Sir. 21:29
A tale out of time is like music in mourning: but the stripes and instruction of wisdom are never out of time. Sir. 22:6
He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this? Sir. 22:9
A frame of wood bound together in the foundation of a building, shall not be loosed: so neither shall the heart that is established by advised counsel. Sir. 22:19
As pales set in high places, and plasterings made without cost, will not stand against the face of the wind: Sir. 22:21
So also a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool shall not resist against the violence of fear. Sir. 22:22
As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God. Sir. 22:23
If thou hast opened a sad mouth, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation: except upbraiding, and reproach, and pride, and disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for in all these cases a friend will flee away. Sir. 22:27
Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice. Sir. 22:28
In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance. Sir. 22:29
Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over my heart, that they spare me not in their ignorances, and that their sins may not appear: Sir. 23:2
A sinner is caught in his own vanity, and the proud and the evil speakers shall fall thereby. Sir. 23:8
Let not thy mouth be accustomed to swearing: for in it there are many falls. Sir. 23:9
And let not the naming of God be usual in thy mouth, and meddle not with the names of saints, for thou shalt not escape free from them. Sir. 23:10
And if he swear in vain, he shall not be justified: for his house shall be filled with his punishment. Sir. 23:14
There is also another speech opposite to death, let it not be found in the inheritance of Jacob. Sir. 23:15
For from the merciful all these things shall be taken away, and they shall not wallow in sins. Sir. 23:16
Remember thy father and thy mother, for thou sittest in the midst of great men: Sir. 23:18
Lest God forget thee in their sight, and thou, by thy daily custom be infatuated and suffer reproach: and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse the day of thy nativity. Sir. 23:19
And a man that is wicked in the mouth of his flesh, will not leave off till he hath kindled a fire. Sir. 23:23
This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and he shall be chased as a colt: and where he suspected not, he shall be taken. Sir. 23:30
And he shall be in disgrace with all men, because he understood not the fear of the Lord. Sir. 23:31
So every woman also that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another: Sir. 23:32
For first she hath been unfaithful to the law of the most High: and secondly, she hath offended against her husband: thirdly, she hath fornicated in adultery, and hath gotten her children of another man. Sir. 23:33
¤ Wisdom shall praise her own self, and shall be honoured in God, and shall glory in the midst of her people, Sir. 24:1
And shall open her mouth in the churches of the most High, and shall glorify herself in the sight of his power, Sir. 24:2
And in the midst of her own people she shall be exalted, and shall be admired in the holy assembly. Sir. 24:3
And in the multitude of the elect she shall have praise, and among the blessed she shall be blessed, saying: Sir. 24:4
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 have stood in all the earth: and in every people, Sir. 24:9
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
Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle, Sir. 24:12
And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect. Sir. 24:13
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
In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Sir. 24:25
Moses commanded a law in the precepts of justices, and an inheritance to the house of Jacob, and the promises to Israel. Sir. 24:33
Who filleth up wisdom as the Phison, and as the Tigris in the days of the new fruits. Sir. 24:35
Who maketh understanding to abound as the Euphrates, who multiplieth it as the Jordan in the time of harvest. Sir. 24:36
Who sendeth knowledge as the light, and riseth up as Gehon in the time of the vintage. Sir. 24:37
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
The things that thou hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find them in thy old age? Sir. 25:5
The wickedness of a woman changeth her face: and she darkeneth her countenance as a bear: and sheweth it like sackcloth. In the midst of her neighbours, Sir. 25:24
If she walk not at thy hand, she will confound thee in the sight of thy enemies. Sir. 25:35
A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and shall fulfil the years of his life in peace. Sir. 26:2
A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds. Sir. 26:3
As the sun when it riseth to the world in the high places of God, so is the beauty of a good wife for the ornament of her house. Sir. 26:21
As the lamp shining upon the holy candlestick, so is the beauty of the face in a ripe age, Sir. 26:22
As everlasting foundations upon a solid rock, so the commandments of God in the heart of a holy woman. Sir. 26:24
As a stake sticketh fast in the midst of the joining of stones, so also in the midst of selling and buying, sin shall stick fast. Sir. 27:2
Unless thou hold thyself diligently in the fear of the Lord, thy house shall quickly be overthrown. Sir. 27:4
As when one sifteth with a sieve, the dust will remain: so will the perplexity of a man in his thoughts. Sir. 27:5
If thou followest justice, thou shalt obtain her: and shalt put her on as a long robe of honour, and thou shalt dwell with her: and she shall protect thee for ever, and in the day of acknowledgment thou shalt find a strong foundation. Sir. 27:9
The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities. Sir. 27:11
A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon. Sir. 27:12
In the midst of the unwise keep in the word till its time: but be continually among men that think. Sir. 27:13
In the quarrels of the proud is the shedding of blood: and their cursing is a grievous hearing. Sir. 27:16
In the sight of thy eyes he will sweeten his mouth, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and on thy words he will lay a stumblingblock. Sir. 27:26
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it. Sir. 27:29
Mockery and reproach are of the proud, and vengeance as a lion shall lie in wait for him. Sir. 27:31
They shall perish in a snare that are delighted with the fall of the just: and sorrow shall consume them before they die. Sir. 27:32
¤ He that seeketh to revenge himself, shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance. Sir. 28:1
For corruption and death hang over in his commandments. Sir. 28:7
For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace. Sir. 28:11
It hath cut in pieces the forces of people, and undone strong nations. Sir. 28:18
He that hearkeneth to it, shall never have rest, neither shall he have a friend in whom he may repose. Sir. 28:20
Blessed is he that is defended from a wicked tongue, that hath not passed into the wrath thereof, and that hath not drawn the yoke thereof, and hath not been bound in its bands. Sir. 28:23
They that forsake God shall fall into it, and it shall burn in them, and shall not be quenched, and it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and as a leopard it shall tear them. Sir. 28:27
Hedge in thy ears with thorns, hear not a wicked tongue, and make doors and bars to thy mouth. Sir. 28:28
And take heed lest thou slip with thy tongue, and fall in the sight of thy enemies who lie in wait for thee, and thy fall be incurable unto death. Sir. 28:30
¤ He that sheweth mercy, lendeth to his neighbour: and he that is stronger in hand, keepeth the commandments. Sir. 29:1
Lend to thy neighbour in the time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due time. Sir. 29:2
Till they receive, they kiss the hands of the lender, and in promises they humble their voice: Sir. 29:5
Place thy treasure in the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold. Sir. 29:14
Shut up alms in the heart of the poor, and it shall obtain help for thee against all evil. Sir. 29:15
It hath made powerful men to go from place to place round about, and they have wandered in strange countries. Sir. 29:24
Better is the poor man's fare under a roof of boards, than sumptuous cheer abroad in another man's house. Sir. 29:28
Go, stranger, and furnish the table, and give others to eat what thou hast in thy hand. Sir. 29:32
¤ He that loveth his son, frequently chastiseth him, that he may rejoice in his latter end, and not grope after the doors of his neighbours. Sir. 30:1
He that instructeth his son shall be praised in him, and shall glory in him in the midst of them of his household. Sir. 30:2
He that teacheth his son, maketh his enemy jealous, and in the midst of his friends he shall glory in him. Sir. 30:3
While he lived he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died he was not sorrowful, neither was he confounded before his enemies. Sir. 30:5
Give him not liberty in his youth, and wink not at his devices. Sir. 30:11
Health of the soul in holiness of justice, is better than all gold and silver: and a sound body, than immense revenues. Sir. 30:15
Good things that are hidden in a mouth that is shut, are as messes of meat set about a grave. Sir. 30:18
Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel. Sir. 30:22
Have pity on thy own soul, pleasing God, and contain thyself: gather up thy heart in his holiness: and drive away sadness far from thee. Sir. 30:24
For sadness hath killed many, and there is no profit in it. Sir. 30:25
The rich man hath laboured in gathering riches together, and when he resteth he shall be filled with his goods. Sir. 31:3
The poor man hath laboured in his low way of life, and in the end he is still poor. Sir. 31:4
Blessed is the rich man that is found without blemish: and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures. Sir. 31:8
Who is he, and we will praise him? for he hath done wonderful things in his life. Sir. 31:9
Therefore are his goods established in the Lord, and all the church of the saints shall declare his alms. Sir. 31:11
Be not hasty in a feast. Sir. 31:17
How sufficient is a little wine for a man well taught, and in sleeping thou shalt not be uneasy with it, and thou shalt feel no pain. Sir. 31:22
Hear me, my son, and despise me not: and in the end thou shalt find my words. Sir. 31:26
In all thy works be quick, and no infirmity shall come to thee. Sir. 31:27
Rebuke not thy neighbour in a banquet of wine: and despise him not in his mirth. Sir. 31:41
Speak not to him words of reproach: and press him not in demanding again. Sir. 31:42
A concert of music in a banquet of wine is as a carbuncle set in gold. Sir. 32:7
As a signet of an emerald in a work of gold: so is the melody of music with pleasant and moderate wine. Sir. 32:8
Hear in silence, and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee. Sir. 32:9
Young man, scarcely speak in thy own cause. Sir. 32:10
In many things be as if thou wert ignorant, and hear in silence and withal seeking. Sir. 32:12
In the company of great men take not upon thee: and when the ancients are present, speak not much. Sir. 32:13
And do what thou hast a mind, but not in sin or proud speech. Sir. 32:16
Go not in the way of ruin, and thou shalt not stumble against the stones: trust not thyself to a rugged way, lest thou set a stumblingblock to thy soul. Sir. 32:25
In every work of thine regard thy soul in faith: for this is the keeping of the commandments. Sir. 32:27
He that believeth God, taketh heed to the commandments: and he that trusteth in him, shall fare never the worse. Sir. 32:28
¤ No evils shall happen to him that feareth the Lord, but in temptation God will keep him and deliver him from evils. Sir. 33:1
A wise man hateth not the commandments and justices, and he shall not be dashed in pieces as a ship in a storm. Sir. 33:2
And he ordered the seasons, and holidays of them, and in them they celebrated festivals at an hour. Sir. 33:9
Some of them God made high and great days, and some of them he put in the number of ordinary days. And all men are from the ground, and out of the earth, from whence Adam was created. Sir. 33:10
As the potter's clay is in his hand, to fashion and order it: Sir. 33:13
All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his judgment. Sir. 33:14
In the blessing of God I also have hoped: and as one that gathereth grapes, have I filled the winepress. Sir. 33:17
As long as thou livest, and hast breath in thee, let no man change thee. Sir. 33:21
In all thy works keep the pre-eminence. Sir. 33:23
Let no stain sully thy glory. In the time when thou shalt end the days of thy life, and in the time of thy decease, distribute thy inheritance. Sir. 33:24
If thou have a faithful servant, let him be to thee as thy own soul: treat him as a brother: because in the blood of thy soul thou hast gotten him. Sir. 33:31
And if he rise up and depart, thou knowest not whom to ask, and in what way to seek him. Sir. 33:33
And the heart fancieth as that of a woman in travail: except it be a vision sent forth from the most High, set not thy heart upon them. Sir. 34:6
For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them. Sir. 34:7
The word of the law shall be fulfilled without a lie, and wisdom shall be made plain in the mouth of the faithful. Sir. 34:8
He that hath no experience, knoweth little: and he that hath been experienced in many things, multiplieth prudence. Sir. 34:10
Sometimes I have been in danger of death for these things, and I have been delivered by the grace of God. Sir. 34:13
The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice. Sir. 34:22
He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father. Sir. 34:24
Thou shalt not appear empty in the sight of the Lord. Sir. 35:6
The oblation of the just maketh the altar fat, and is an odour of sweetness in the sight of the most High. Sir. 35:8
In every gift shew a cheerful countenance, and sanctify thy tithes with joy. Sir. 35:11
The mercy of God is beautiful in the time of affliction, as a cloud of rain in the time of drought. Sir. 35:26
For as thou hast been sanctified in us in their sight, so thou shalt be magnified among them in our presence, Sir. 36:4
Give testimony to them that are thy creatures from the beginning, and raise up the prophecies which the former prophets spoke in thy name. Sir. 36:17
Where there is no hedge, the possession shall be spoiled: and where there is no wife, he mourneth that is in want. Sir. 36:27
¤ 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
There is a companion who rejoiceth with his friend in his joys, but in the time of trouble, he will be against him. Sir. 37:4
Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of him in thy riches. Sir. 37:6
Nor with him that worketh by the year of the finishing of the year, nor with an idle servant of much business: give no heed to these in any matter of counsel. Sir. 37:14
Whose soul is according to thy own soul: and who, when thou shalt stumble in the dark, will be sorry for thee. Sir. 37:16
The soul of a holy man discovereth sometimes true things, more than seven watchmen that sit in a high place to watch. Sir. 37:18
But above all these things pray to the most High, that he may direct thy way in truth. Sir. 37:19
In all thy works let the true word go before thee, and steady counsel before every action. Sir. 37:20
The life of a man is in the number of his days: but the days of Israel are innumerable. Sir. 37:28
My son, prove thy soul in thy life: and if it be wicked, give it no power: Sir. 37:30
Be not greedy in any feasting, and pour not out thyself upon any meat: Sir. 37:32
For in many meats there will be sickness, and greediness will turn to choler. Sir. 37:33
The skill of the physician shall lift up his head, and in the sight of great men he shall be praised. Sir. 38:3
The virtue of these things is come to the knowledge of men, and the most High hath given knowledge to men, that he may be honoured in his wonders. Sir. 38:6
My son, in thy sickness neglect not thyself, but pray to the Lord, and he shall heal thee. Sir. 38:9
He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician. Sir. 38:15
And for fear of being ill spoken of weep bitterly for a day, and then comfort thyself in thy sadness. Sir. 38:17
In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart. Sir. 38:20
When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, and comfort him in the departing of his spirit. Sir. 38:24
The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom. Sir. 38:25
With what wisdom shall he be furnished that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth the oxen therewith, and is occupied in their labours, and his whole talk is about the offspring of bulls? Sir. 38:26
The noise of the hammer is always in his ears, and his eye is upon the pattern of the vessel he maketh. Sir. 38:30
All these trust to their hands, and every one is wise in his own art. Sir. 38:35
But they shall strengthen the state of the world, and their prayer shall be in the work of their craft, applying their soul, and searching in the law of the most High. Sir. 38:39
¤ The wise man will seek out the wisdom of all the ancients, and will be occupied in the prophets. Sir. 39:1
He will search out the hidden meanings of proverbs, and will be conversant in the secrets of parables. Sir. 39:3
He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and he will pray in the sight of the most High. Sir. 39:6
He will open his mouth in prayer, and will make supplication for his sins. Sir. 39:7
And he will pour forth the words of his wisdom as showers, and in his prayer he will confess to the Lord. Sir. 39:9
And he shall direct his counsel, and his knowledge, and in his secrets shall he meditate. Sir. 39:10
He shall shew forth the discipline he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord. Sir. 39:11
The memory of him shall not depart away, and his name shall be in request from generation to generation. Sir. 39:13
Send forth flowers, as the lily, and yield a smell, and bring forth leaves in grace, and praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in his works. Sir. 39:19
Magnify his name, and give glory to him with the voice of your lips, and with the canticles of your mouths, and with harps, and in praising him, you shall say in this manner: Sir. 39:20
There is no saying: What is this, or what is that? for all things shall be sought in their time. Sir. 39:26
Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath. Sir. 39:29
There are spirits that are created for vengeance, and in their fury they lay on grievous torments. Sir. 39:33
In the time of destruction they shall pour out their force: and they shall appease the wrath of him that made them. Sir. 39:34
In his commandments they shall feast, and they shall be ready upon earth when need is, and when their time is come they shall not transgress his word. Sir. 39:37
Therefore from the beginning I was resolved, and I have meditated, and thought on these things and left them in writing, Sir. 39:38
All the works of the Lord are good, and he will furnish every work in due time. Sir. 39:39
It is not to be said: This is worse than that: for all shall be well approved in their time. Sir. 39:40
From him that sitteth on a glorious throne, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes: Sir. 40:3
And in the time of rest upon his bed, the sleep of the night changeth his knowledge. Sir. 40:5
A little and as nothing is his rest, and afterward in sleep, as in the day of keeping watch. Sir. 40:6
He is troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he had escaped in the day of battle. In the time of his safety he rose up, and wondereth that there is no fear. Sir. 40:7
The riches of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, and shall pass away with a noise like a great thunder in rain. Sir. 40:13
While he openeth his hands he shall rejoice: but transgressors shall pine away in the end. Sir. 40:14
Grace is like a paradise in blessings, and mercy remaineth for ever. Sir. 40:17
The life of a laborer that is content with what he hath, shall be sweet, and in it thou shalt find a treasure. Sir. 40:18
A friend and companion meeting together in season, but above them both is a wife with her husband. Sir. 40:23
Brethren are a help in the time of trouble, but mercy shall deliver more than they. Sir. 40:24
There is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek for help. Sir. 40:27
My son, in thy lifetime be not indigent: for it is better to die than to want. Sir. 40:29
Begging will be sweet in the mouth of the unwise, but in his belly there shall burn a fire. Sir. 40:32
¤ O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that hath peace in his possessions! Sir. 41:1
To a man that is at rest, and whose ways are prosperous in all things, and that is yet able to take meat! Sir. 41:2
O death thy sentence is welcome to the man that is in need, and to him whose strength faileth: Sir. 41:3
Who is in a decrepit age, and that is in care about all things, and to the distrustful that loseth patience! Sir. 41:4
The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his sake they are in reproach. Sir. 41:10
And if you be born, you shall be born in malediction: and if you die, in malediction shall be your portion. Sir. 41:12
My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both? Sir. 41:17
For it is not good to keep all shamefacedness: and all things do not please all men in opinion. Sir. 41:20
Be ashamed of fornication before father and mother: and of a lie before a governor and a man in power: Sir. 41:21
Of injustice before a companion and friend: and in regard to the place where thou dwellest, Sir. 41:23
Of theft, and of the truth of God, and the covenant: of leaning with thy elbow over meat, and of deceit in giving and taking: Sir. 41:24
Where there are many hands, shut up, and deliver all things in number, and weight: and put all in writing that thou givest out or receivest in. Sir. 42:7
Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the aged, that are judged by young men: and thou shalt be well instructed in all things, and well approved in the sight of all men living. Sir. 42:8
In her virginity, lest she should be corrupted, and be found with child in her father's house: and having a husband, lest she should misbehave herself, or at the least become barren. Sir. 42:10
Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter: lest at anytime she make thee become a laughingstock to thy enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and she make thee ashamed before all the multitude. Sir. 42:11
At noon he burneth the earth, and who can abide his burning heat? As one keeping a furnace in the works of heat: Sir. 43:3
And the moon in all in her season, is for a declaration of times and a sign of the world. Sir. 43:6
From the moon is the sign of the festival day, a light that decreaseth in her perfection. Sir. 43:7
The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her perfection. Sir. 43:8
Being an instrument of the armies on high, shining gloriously in the firmament of heaven. Sir. 43:9
By the words of the holy one they shall stand in judgment, and shall never fall in their watches. Sir. 43:11
Look upon the rainbow, and bless him that made it: it is very beautiful in its brightness. Sir. 43:12
¤ Let us now praise men of renown and our fathers in their generation. Sir. 44:1
Such as have borne rule in their dominions, men of great power, and endued with their wisdom, shewing forth in the prophets the dignity of prophets, Sir. 44:3
And ruling over the present people, and by the strength of wisdom instructing the people in most holy words. Sir. 44:4
Rich men in virtue, studying beautifulness: living at peace in their houses. Sir. 44:6
All these have gained glory in their generations, and were praised in their days. Sir. 44:7
Their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their seed hath stood in the covenants. Sir. 44:12
Their bodies are buried in peace, and their name liveth unto generation and generation. Sir. 44:14
Noe was found perfect, just, and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. Sir. 44:17
Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and there was not found the like to him in glory, who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him. Sir. 44:20
In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful. Sir. 44:21
Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth, Sir. 44:22
And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father. Sir. 44:24
He acknowledged him in his blessings, and gave him an inheritance, and divided him his portion in twelve tribes. Sir. 44:26
And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh. Sir. 44:27
¤ Moses was beloved of God, and men: whose memory is in benediction. Sir. 45:1
He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. Sir. 45:2
He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory. Sir. 45:3
He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. Sir. 45:4
He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the nation, and made him blessed in glory, Sir. 45:8
That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people. Sir. 45:11
Of twisted scarlet the work of an artist, with precious stones cut and set in gold, and graven by the work of a lapidary for a memorial, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. Sir. 45:13
This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name. Sir. 45:19
And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law. Sir. 45:21
And strangers stood up against him, and through envy the men that were with Dathan and Abiron, compassed him about in the wilderness, and the congregation of Core in their wrath. Sir. 45:22
The Lord God saw and it pleased him not, and they were consumed in his wrathful indignation. Sir. 45:23
He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed. Sir. 45:26
But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance. Sir. 45:27
Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord: Sir. 45:28
And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel. Sir. 45:29
And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good things might not be abolished, and he made their glory in their nation everlasting. Sir. 45:31
¤ Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name, Sir. 46:1
Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two? Sir. 46:5
He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries. Sir. 46:7
And in the days of Moses he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephone, in standing against the enemy, and withholding the people from sins, and appeasing the wicked murmuring. Sir. 46:9
And he was known to be faithful in his words, because he saw the God of light: Sir. 46:18
And called upon the name of the Lord Almighty, in fighting against the enemies who beset him on every side, when he offered a lamb without blemish. Sir. 46:19
And before the time of the end of his life in the world, he protested before the Lord, and his anointed: money, or any thing else, even to a shoe, he had not taken of any man, and no man did accuse him. Sir. 46:22
And after this he slept, and he made known to the king, and shewed him the end of his life, and he lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy to blot out the wickedness of the nation. Sir. 46:23
¤ Then Nathan the prophet arose in the days of David. Sir. 47:1
He played with lions as with lambs: and with bears he did in like manner as with the lambs of the flock, in his youth. Sir. 47:3
In lifting up his hand, with the stone in the sling he beat down the boasting of Goliath: Sir. 47:5
For he called upon the Lord the Almighty, and he gave strength in his right hand, to take away the mighty warrior, and to set up the horn of his nation. Sir. 47:6
So in ten thousand did he glorify him, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in offering to him a crown of glory: Sir. 47:7
In all his works he gave thanks to the holy one, and to the most High, with words of glory. Sir. 47:9
And to the festivals he added beauty, and set in order the solemn times even to the end of his life, that they should praise the holy name of the Lord, and magnify the holiness of God in the morning. Sir. 47:12
The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: and he gave him a covenant of the kingdom, and a throne of glory in Israel. Sir. 47:13
Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God brought all his enemies under him, that he might build a house in his name, and prepare a sanctuary for ever: O how wise wast thou in thy youth! Sir. 47:15
And thou didst multiply riddles in parables: thy name went abroad to the islands far off, and thou wast beloved in thy peace. Sir. 47:17
He brought a famine upon them, and they that provoked him in their envy, were reduced to a small number, for they could not endure the commandments of the Lord. Sir. 48:2
Thus was Elias magnified in his wondrous works. And who can glory like to thee? Sir. 48:4
Who broughtest down kings to destruction, and brokest easily their power in pieces, and the glorious from their bed. Sir. 48:6
Who heardest judgment in Sina, and in Horeb the judgments of vengeance. Sir. 48:7
Who wast taken up in a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot of fiery horses. Sir. 48:9
Who art registered in the judgments of times to appease the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob. Sir. 48:10
For we live only in our life, but after death our name shall not be such. Sir. 48:12
Elias was indeed covered with the whirlwind, and his spirit was filled up in Eliseus: in his days he feared not the prince, and no man was more powerful than he. Sir. 48:13
In his life he did great wonders, and in death he wrought miracles. Sir. 48:15
And there was left but a small people, and a prince in the house of David. Sir. 48:17
Ezechias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof, and he digged a rock with iron, and made a well for water. Sir. 48:19
In his days Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against them, and he stretched out his hand against Sion, and became proud through his power. Sir. 48:20
Then their hearts and hands trembled, and they were in pain as women in travail. Sir. 48:21
For Ezechias did that which pleased God, and walked valiantly in the way of David his father, which Isaias, the great prophet, and faithful in the sight of God, had commanded him. Sir. 48:25
In his days the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king's life. Sir. 48:26
With a great spirit he saw the things that are to come to pass at last, and comforted the mourners in Sion. Sir. 48:27
His remembrance shall be sweet as honey in every mouth, and as music at a banquet of wine. Sir. 49:2
And he directed his heart towards the Lord, and in the days of sinners he strengthened godliness. Sir. 49:4
In like manner Jesus the son of Josedec who in their days built the house, and set up a holy temple to the Lord, prepared for everlasting glory. Sir. 49:14
Seth and Sem obtained glory among men: and above every soul Adam in the beginning, Sir. 49:19
¤ Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life propped up the house, and in his days fortified the temple. Sir. 50:1
In his days the wells of water flowed out, and they were filled as the sea above measure. Sir. 50:3
He prevailed to enlarge the city, and obtained glory in his conversation with the people: and enlarged the entrance of the house and the court. Sir. 50:5
He shone in his days as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full. Sir. 50:6
And as the sun when it shineth, so did he shine in the temple of God. Sir. 50:7
And as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds, and as the flower of roses in the days of the spring, and as the lilies that are on the brink of the water, and as the sweet smelling frankincense in the time of summer. Sir. 50:8
As a bright fire, and frankincense burning in the fire. Sir. 50:9
And when he took the portions out of the hands of the priests, he himself stood by the altar. And about him was the ring of his brethren: and as the cedar planted in mount Libanus, Sir. 50:13
And as branches of palm trees, they stood round about him, and all the sons of Aaron in their glory. Sir. 50:14
And the oblation of the Lord was in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel: and finishing his service, on the altar, to honour the offering of the most high King, Sir. 50:15
And the singers lifted up their voices, and in the great house the sound of sweet melody was increased. Sir. 50:20
And the people in prayer besought the Lord the most High, until the worship of the Lord was perfected, and they had finished their office. Sir. 50:21
Then coming down, he lifted up his hands over all the congregation of the children of Israel, to give glory to God with his lips, and to glory in his name: Sir. 50:22
And now pray ye to the God of all, who hath done great things in all the earth, who hath increased our days from our mother's womb, and hath done with us according to his mercy. Sir. 50:24
May he grant us joyfulness of heart, and that there be peace in our days in Israel for ever: Sir. 50:25
That Israel may believe that the mercy of God is with us, to deliver us in his days. Sir. 50:26
They that sit on mount Seir, and the Philistines, and the foolish people that dwell in Sichem. Sir. 50:28
Jesus the son of Sirach, of Jerusalem, hath written in this book the doctrine of wisdom and instruction, who renewed wisdom from his heart. Sir. 50:29
Blessed is he that is conversant in these good things and he that layeth them up in his heart, shall be wise always. Sir. 50:30
And hast preserved my body from destruction, from the snare of an unjust tongue, and from the lips of them that forge lies, and in the sight of them that stood by, thou hast been my helper. Sir. 51:3
From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt. Sir. 51:6
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
When I was yet young, before I wandered about, I sought for wisdom openly in my prayer. Sir. 51:18
My heart delighted in her, my foot walked in the right way, from my youth up I sought after her. Sir. 51:20
I found much wisdom in myself, and profited much therein. Sir. 51:22
My soul hath wrestled for her, and in doing it I have been confirmed. Sir. 51:25
I directed my soul to her, and in knowledge I found her. Sir. 51:27
My entrails were troubled in seeking her: therefore shall I possess a good possession. Sir. 51:29
Let your soul rejoice in his mercy and you shall not be confounded in his praise. Sir. 51:37
Work your work before the time, and he will give you your reward in his time. Sir. 51:38
‡ ¤ The vision of Isaias the Son of Amos, which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda. Isa. 1:1
And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste. Isa. 1:8

¤ Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda. Jer. 37:1

And the princes said to the king. We beseech thee that this man may be put to death: for on purpose he weakeneth the hands of the men of war, that remain in this city, and the hands of the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man seeketh not peace to this people, but evil. Jer. 38:4
And king Sedecias said: Behold he is in your hands: for it is not lawful for the king to deny you any thing. Jer. 38:5
Then they took Jeremias and cast him into the dungeon of Melchias the son of Amelech, which was in the entry of the prison: and they let down Jeremias by ropes into the dungeon, wherein there was no water, but mire. And Jeremias sunk into the mire. Jer. 38:6

Behold all the women that are left in the house of the king of Juda, shall be brought out to the princes of the king of Babylon: and they shall say: Thy men of peace have deceived thee, and have prevailed against thee, they have plunged thy feet in the mire, and in a slippery place and they have departed from thee.

And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Serezer, Rebmag, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. Jer. 39:3

But the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying: Jer. 39:15
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight in that day. Jer. 39:16

And come not with me: but dwell with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Juda: dwell therefore with him in the midst of the people: or whithersoever it shall please thee to go, go. And the general of the army gave him victuals and presents, and let him go. Jer. 40:5
And Jeremias went to Godolias the son of Ahicam to Masphath: and dwelt with him in the midst of the people that were left in the land. Jer. 40:6
And Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan swore to them and to their companions, saying: Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. Jer. 40:9
Behold I dwell in Masphath, that I may answer the commandment of the Chaldeans that are sent to us: but as for you, gather ye the vintage, and the harvest, and the oil, and lay it up in your vessels, and abide in your cities which you hold. Jer. 40:10
Moreover all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and in all the countries, when they heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan ruler over them: Jer. 40:11
Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the army, that had been scattered about in the countries, came to Godolias to Masphath. Jer. 40:13
But Johanan the son of Caree, spoke to Godolias privately in Masphath, saying: I will go, and I will kill Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and no man shall know it, lest he kill thee, and all the Jews be scattered, that are gathered unto thee, and the remnant of Juda perish. Jer. 40:15
¤ And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismahel the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the royal blood, and the nobles of the king, and ten men with him, came to Godolias the son of Ahicam into Masphath: and they ate bread there together in Masphath. Jer. 41:1
Ismahel slew also all the Jews that were with Godolias in Masphath, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the soldiers. Jer. 41:3
There came some from Sichem, and from Silo, and from Samaria, fourscore men, with their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and mourning: and they had offerings and incense in their hand, to offer in the house of the Lord. Jer. 41:5

Then Ismahel carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Masphath: the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Masphath: whom Nabuzardan the general of the army had committed to Godolias the son of Ahicam. And Ismahel the son of Nathanias took them, and he departed, to go over to the children of Ammon. Jer. 41:10
And taking all the men, they went out to fight against Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and they found him by the great waters that are in Gabaon. Jer. 41:12
And they departed, and sat as sojourners in Chamaam, which is near Bethlehem: in order to go forward, and enter into Egypt, Jer. 41:17
From the face of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ismahel the son of Nathanias had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Juda. Jer. 41:18
If you will be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you up, and not pull you down: I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you. Jer. 42:10
And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in your own land. Jer. 42:12
But if you say: We will not dwell in this land, neither will we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, Jer. 42:13

Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there. Jer. 42:22
So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda. Jer. 43:4

In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth? Jer. 44:8
Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem? Jer. 44:9

Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying: Jer. 44:15
As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee: Jer. 44:16
But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.

Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof. Lam. 2:2
Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about. Lam. 2:3

Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? Lam. 2:20
Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity. Lam. 2:21
Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them. Lam. 2:22
Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever. Lam. 3:6
Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places. Lam. 3:10
Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate. Lam. 3:11
Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope. Lam. 3:21

Aleph. How is the gold become dim, the finest colour is changed, the stones of the sanctuary are scattered in the top of every street? Lam. 4:1
Ghimel. Even the sea monsters have drawn out the breast, they have given suck to their young: the daughter of my people is cruel, like the ostrich in the desert. Lam. 4:3
He. They that were fed delicately have died in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet have embraced the dung. Lam. 4:5
Vau. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people is made greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and hands took nothing in her. Lam. 4:6

‡ ¤ And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Sedei, the son Helcias, wrote in Babylonia. Bar. 1:1
In the fifth year, in the seventh day of the month, at the time that the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire. Bar. 1:2
And Baruch read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joakim king of Juda, and in the hearing of all the people that came to hear the book. Bar. 1:3
And in the hearing of the nobles, the sons of the kings, and in the hearing of the ancients, and in the hearing of the people, from the least even to the greatest of them that dwelt in Babylonia, by the river Sedi. Bar. 1:4
And they sent it to Jerusalem to Joakim the priest, the son of Helcias, the son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people, that were found with him in Jerusalem: Bar. 1:7
And that the Lord may give us strength, and enlighten our eyes, that we may live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and may serve them many days, and may find favour in their sight. Bar. 1:12
And read ye this book, which we have sent to you to be read in the temple of the Lord, on feasts, and proper days. Bar. 1:14
We have sinned before the Lord our God, and have not believed him, nor put our trust in him: Bar. 1:17
And we were not obedient to him, and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his commandments which he hath given us. Bar. 1:18
And we have gone away every man after the inclinations of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God. Bar. 1:22
That the Lord would bring upon us great evils, such as never happened under heaven, as they have come to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that are written in the law of Moses: Bar. 2:2
And the Lord hath watched over us for evil, and hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is just in all his works which he hath commanded us: Bar. 2:9
And we have not hearkened to his voice to walk in the commandments of the Lord which he hath set before us. Bar. 2:10
Hear, O Lord, our prayers, and our petitions, and deliver us for thy own sake: and grant that we may find favour in the sight of them that have led us away: Bar. 2:14
Open thy eyes, and behold: for the dead that are in hell, whose spirit is taken away from their bowels, shall not give glory and justice to the Lord: Bar. 2:17
For it is not for the justices of our fathers that we pour out our prayers, and beg mercy in thy sight, O Lord our God: Bar. 2:19
Thus saith the Lord: Bow down your shoulder, and your neck, and serve the king of Babylon: and you shall remain in the land which I have given to your fathers. Bar. 2:21
And behold they are cast out to the heat of the sun, and to the frost of the night: and they have died in grievous pains, by famine, and by the sword, and in banishment. Bar. 2:25
And thou hast made the temple, in which thy name was called upon, as it is at this day, for the iniquity of the house of Israel, and the house of Juda. Bar. 2:26
As thou spokest by the hand of thy servant Moses, in the day when thou didst command him to write thy law before the children of Israel, Bar. 2:28
For I know that the people will not hear me, for they are a people of a stiff neck: but they shall turn to their heart in the land of their captivity: Bar. 2:30
And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and shall be mindful of my name. Bar. 2:32
¤ And now, O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, the soul in anguish, and the troubled spirit crieth to thee: Bar. 3:1
Because for this end thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity, for we are converted from the iniquity of our fathers, who sinned before thee. Bar. 3:7
And behold we are at this day in our captivity, whereby thou hast scattered us to be a reproach, and a curse, and an offence, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, who departed from thee, O Lord our God. Bar. 3:8
How happeneth it, O Israel, that thou art in thy enemies' land? Bar. 3:10
Thou art grown old in a strange country, thou art defiled with the dead: thou art counted with them that go down into hell. Bar. 3:11
For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou hadst surely dwelt in peace for ever. Bar. 3:13
Who hath found out her place? and who hath gone in to her treasures? Bar. 3:15
That hoard up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and there is no end of their getting? who work in silver and are solicitous, and their works are unsearchable. Bar. 3:18
They are cut off, and are gone down to hell, and others are risen up in their place. Bar. 3:19
It hath not been heard of in the land of Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman. Bar. 3:22
There were the giants, those renowned men that were from the beginning, of great stature, expert in war. Bar. 3:26
And the stars have given light in their watches, and rejoiced: Bar. 3:34
This is our God, and there shall no other be accounted of in comparison of him. Bar. 3:36
Return, O Jacob, and take hold of it, walk in the way by its brightness, in the presence of the light thereof. Bar. 4:2
I have put off the robe of peace, and have put upon me the sackcloth of supplication, and I will cry to the most High in my days. Bar. 4:20
For my hope is in the Eternal that he will save you: and joy is come upon me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall come to you from our everlasting Saviour. Bar. 4:22
For God will shew his brightness in thee, to every one under heaven. Bar. 5:3
Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high: and look about towards the east, and behold thy children gathered together from the rising to the setting sun, by the word of the Holy One rejoicing in the remembrance of God. Bar. 5:5
For God will bring Israel with joy in the light of his majesty, with mercy, and justice, that cometh from him. Bar. 5:9
But now, you shall see in Babylon gods of gold, and of silver, and of stone, and of wood borne upon shoulders, causing fear to the Gentiles. Bar. 6:3
But when you see the multitude behind, and before, adoring them, say you in your hearts: Thou oughtest to be adored, O Lord. Bar. 6:5
And this hath in his hand a sword, or an axe, but cannot save himself from war, or from robbers, whereby be it known to you, that they are not gods. Bar. 6:14
When they are placed in the house, their eyes are full of dust by the feet of them that go in. Bar. 6:16
They light candles to them, and in great number, of which they cannot see one: but they are like beams in the house. Bar. 6:18
Their faces are black with the smoke that is made in the house. Bar. 6:20
Owls, and swallows, and other birds fly upon their bodies, and upon their heads, and cats in like manner. Bar. 6:21
Men buy them at a high price, whereas there is no breath in them. Bar. 6:24
The things that are sacrificed to them, their priests sell and abuse: in like manner also their wives take part of them, but give nothing of it either to the sick, or to the poor. Bar. 6:27
And priests sit in their temples, having their garments rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads. Bar. 6:30
In like manner they can neither give riches, nor requite evil. If a man make a vow to them, and perform it not: they cannot require it. Bar. 6:34
The women also, with cords about them, sit in the ways, burning olive-stones. Bar. 6:42
For seeing they are but of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, it shall be known hereafter that they are false things, by all nations, and kings: and it shall be manifest that they are no gods, but the work of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them. Bar. 6:50
Whence, therefore, is it known that they are not gods, but the work of men's hands, and no work of God is in them? Bar. 6:51
For when fire shall fall upon the house of these gods of wood, and of silver, and of gold, their priests indeed will flee away, and be saved: but they themselves shall be burnt in the midst like beams. Bar. 6:54
Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power: or else a profitable vessel in the house, with which the owner thereof will be well satisfied: or a door in the house, to keep things safe that are therein, than such false gods. Bar. 6:58
In like manner the lightning, when it breaketh forth, is easy to be seen: and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every country. Bar. 6:60
The fire also being sent from above to consume mountains, and woods, doth as it is commanded. But these neither in shew, nor in power, are like to any one of them. Bar. 6:62
Neither do they shew signs in the heaven to the nations, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon. Bar. 6:66
For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing, so are their gods of wood, and of silver, and laid over with gold. Bar. 6:69
They are no better than a white thorn in a garden, upon which every bird sitteth. In like manner also their gods of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, are like to a dead body cast forth in the dark. Bar. 6:70
By the purple also and the scarlet which are motheaten upon them, you shall know that they are not gods. And they themselves at last are consumed, and shall be a reproach in the country. Bar. 6:71
‡ ¤ 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
The word of the Lord came to Ezechiel the priest the son of Buzi in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chobar: and the hand of the Lord was there upon him. Ezec. 1:3
And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them. Ezec. 1:5
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire. Ezec. 1:13
And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel. Ezec. 1:16
Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels. Ezec. 1:20
When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels. Ezec. 1:21
And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner. Ezec. 1:23
As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about. Ezec. 1:28
If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them. Ezec. 2:5
and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe. Ezec. 2:10
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
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 go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear, and will forbear. Ezec. 3:11
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
But if thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezec. 3:19
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 spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet: and he spoke to me, and said to me: Go in; and shut thyself up in the midst of thy house. Ezec. 3:24
And take to thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. Ezec. 4:9
And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it. Ezec. 4:10
And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man. Ezec. 4:12
And 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
So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities. Ezec. 4:17
¤ And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife that shaveth the hair: and cause it to pass over thy head, and over thy beard: and take thee a balance to weigh in, and divide the hair. Ezec. 5:1
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
And thou shalt take thereof a small number: and shalt bind them in the skirt of thy cloak. Ezec. 5:3
And thou shalt take of them again, and shalt cast them in the midst of the fire, and shalt burn them with fire: and out of it shall come forth a fire into all the house of Israel. Ezec. 5:4
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
And she hath despised my judgments, so as to be more wicked than the Gentiles; and my commandments, more than the countries that are round about her: for they have cast off my judgments, and have not walked in my commandments. Ezec. 5:6
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have surpassed the Gentiles that are round about you, and have not walked in my commandments, and have not kept my judgments, and have not done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you: Ezec. 5:7
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
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 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
In all your dwelling places. The cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be thrown down, and destroyed, and your altars shall be abolished, and shall be broken in pieces: and your idols shall be no more, and your temples shall be destroyed, and your works shall be defaced. Ezec. 6:6
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
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain shall be amongst your idols, round about your altars, in every high hill, and on all the tops of mountains, and under every woody tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they burnt sweet smelling frankincense to all their idols. Ezec. 6:13
And I will stretch forth my hand upon them: and I will make the land desolate, and abandoned from the desert of Deblatha in all their dwelling places: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 6:14
And my eye shall not spare thee, and I will shew thee no pity: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 7:4
Destruction is come upon thee that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of slaughter is near, and not of the joy of mountains. Ezec. 7:7
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
For the seller shall not return to that which he hath sold, although their life be yet among the living. For the vision which regardeth all the multitude thereof, shall not go back: neither shall man be strengthened in the iniquity of his life. Ezec. 7:13
The sword without: and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword: and they that are in the city, shall be devoured by the pestilence, and the famine. Ezec. 7:15
And such of them as shall flee shall escape: and they shall be in the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them trembling, every one for his iniquity. Ezec. 7:16
Their silver shall be cast forth, and their gold shall become a dunghill. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their soul, and their bellies shall not be filled: because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity. Ezec. 7:19
¤ And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. Ezec. 8:1
And the likeness of a hand was put forth and took me by a lock of my head: and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the vision of God into Jerusalem, near the inner gate, that looked toward the north, where was set the idol of jealousy to provoke to jealousy. Ezec. 8:3
And 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 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 he said to me: Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they commit here. Ezec. 8:9
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
And seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and Jezonias the son of Saaphan stood in the midst of them, that stood before the pictures: and every one had a censer in his hand: and a cloud of smoke went up from the incense. Ezec. 8:11
And he said to me: Surely thou seest, O son of man, what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in private in his chamber: for they say: The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth. Ezec. 8:12
And he brought me in by the door of the gate of the Lord's house, which looked to the north: and behold women sat there mourning for Adonis. Ezec. 8:14
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 he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a destroying weapon in his hand. Ezec. 9:1
And behold six men came from the way of the upper gate, which looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by the brazen altar. Ezec. 9:2
And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof. Ezec. 9:4
And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity. Ezec. 9:5
And he said to them: Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city. Ezec. 9:7
¤ And I saw and behold in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubims, there appeared over them as it were the sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. Ezec. 10:1
And he spoke to the man, that was clothed with linen, and said: Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubims and fill thy hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubims, and pour them out upon the city. And he went in, in my sight: Ezec. 10:2
And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court. Ezec. 10:3
And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel. Ezec. 10:6
And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man's hand under their wings. Ezec. 10:8
And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel. Ezec. 10:10
And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing. Ezec. 10:13
And every one had four faces: one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face, the face of a man: and in the third was the face of a lion: and in the fourth the face of an eagle. Ezec. 10:14
When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them. Ezec. 10:17
And the cherubims lifting up their wings, were raised from the earth before me: and as they went out, the wheels also followed: and it stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them. Ezec. 10:19
¤ 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 he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city, Ezec. 11:2
You have killed a great many in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain. Ezec. 11:6
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 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
Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, thy kinsmen, and all the house of Israel, all they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get ye far from the Lord, the land is given in possession to us. Ezec. 11:15
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
And they shall go in thither, and shall take away all the scandals, and all the abominations thereof from thence. Ezec. 11:18
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
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
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a provoking house: who have eyes to see, and see not: and ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 12:2
Thou, therefore, O son of man, prepare thee all necessaries for removing, and remove by day in their sight: and thou shalt remove out of thy place to another place in their sight, if so be they will regard it: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 12:3
And thou shalt bring forth thy furniture as the furniture of one that is removing by day in their sight: and thou shalt go forth in the evening in their presence, as one goeth forth that removeth his dwelling. Ezec. 12:4
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
And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying: Ezec. 12:8
Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: This burden concerneth my prince that is in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel, that are among them. Ezec. 12:10
And the prince that is in the midst of them, shall be carried on shoulders, he shall go forth in the dark: they shall dig through the wall to bring him out: his face shall be covered, that he may not see the ground with his eyes. Ezec. 12:12
And 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 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
Son of man, eat thy bread in trouble and drink thy water in hurry and sorrow. Ezec. 12:18
And say to the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord God to them that dwell in Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in care, and drink their water in desolation: that the land may become desolate from the multitude that is therein, for the iniquity of all that dwell therein. Ezec. 12:19
Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: The days shall be prolonged, and every vision shall fail. Ezec. 12:22
Say to them therefore: Thus saith the Lord God: I will make this proverb to cease, neither shall it be any more a common saying in Israel: and tell them that the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. Ezec. 12:23
For there shall be no more any vain visions, nor doubtful divination in the midst of the children of Israel. Ezec. 12:24
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
Thy prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts. Ezec. 13:4
You have not gone up to face the enemy, nor have you set up a wall for the house of Israel, to stand in battle in the day of the Lord. Ezec. 13:5
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
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 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
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
That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols. Ezec. 14:5
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 if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts. Ezec. 14:14
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
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
And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts. Ezec. 16:4
No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born. Ezec. 16:5
And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood: and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood. Ezec. 16:6
And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head. Ezec. 16:12
But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his. Ezec. 16:15
And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood. Ezec. 16:22
That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street. Ezec. 16:24
Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast thou satisfied. Ezec. 16:29
Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price, Ezec. 16:31
But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband. Ezec. 16:32
And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication, for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee. Ezec. 16:34
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 they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more. Ezec. 16:41
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
But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways. Ezec. 16:47
And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them. Ezec. 16:53
That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them. Ezec. 16:54
And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride, Ezec. 16:56
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
He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants. Ezec. 17:4
And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth. Ezec. 17:5
It was planted in a good ground upon many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, that it might become a large vine. Ezec. 17:8
Behold, it is planted: shall it prosper then? shall it not be dried up when the burning wind shall touch it, and shall it not wither in the furrows where it grew? Ezec. 17:10
As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die. Ezec. 17:16
And 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
That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge. Ezec. 18:2
As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel. Ezec. 18:3
Hath walked in my commandments, and kept my judgments, to do truth: he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 18:9
That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live. Ezec. 18:17
As for his father, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother, and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold he is dead in his own iniquity. Ezec. 18:18
I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live. Ezec. 18:22
But if the just man turn himself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? all his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die. Ezec. 18:24
For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die. Ezec. 18:26
And say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps in the midst of young lions? Ezec. 19:2
And the nations heard of him, and took him, but not without receiving wounds: and they brought him in chains into the land of Egypt. Ezec. 19:4
And the nations came together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken. Ezec. 19:8
And they put him into a cage, they brought him in chains to the king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. Ezec. 19:9
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her fruit and her branches have grown out of many waters. Ezec. 19:10
And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in the multitude of her branches. Ezec. 19:11
But she was plucked up in wrath, and cast on the ground, and the burning wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods are withered, and dried up: the fire hath devoured her. Ezec. 19:12
And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and dry. Ezec. 19:13
¤ And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me. Ezec. 20:1
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
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
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
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
Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols. Ezec. 20:16
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
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
Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me; Ezec. 20:27
Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations. Ezec. 20:30
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
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
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 as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols; Ezec. 20:39
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 there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed. Ezec. 20:43
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 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
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
For the king of Babylon stood in the highway, at the head of two ways, seeking divination, shuffling arrows: he inquired of the idols, and consulted entrails. Ezec. 21:21
On his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in slaughter, to lift up the voice in howling, to set engines against the gates, to cast up a mount, to build forts. Ezec. 21:22
And he shall be in their eyes as one consulting the oracle in vain, and imitating the leisure of sabbaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity that they may be taken. Ezec. 21:23
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
But thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come that hath been appointed in the time of iniquity: Ezec. 21:25
Whilst they see vain things in thy regard, and they divine lies: to bring thee upon the necks of the wicked that are wounded, whose appointed day is come in the time of iniquity. Ezec. 21:29
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
And thou shalt shew her all her abominations, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: This is the city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come: and that hath made idols against herself, to defile herself. Ezec. 22:3
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
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall triumph over thee: thou filthy one, infamous, great in destruction. Ezec. 22:5
Behold the princes of Israel, every one hath employed his arm in thee to shed blood. Ezec. 22:6
They have abused father and mother in thee, they have oppressed the stranger in the midst of thee, they have grieved the fatherless and widow in thee. Ezec. 22:7
Slanderers have been in thee to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains in thee, they have committed wickedness in the midst of thee. Ezec. 22:9
They have discovered the nakedness of their father in thee, they have humbled the uncleanness of the menstruous woman in thee. Ezec. 22:10
And every one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife, and the father in law hath wickedly defiled his daughter in law, the brother hath oppressed his sister the daughter of his father in thee. Ezec. 22:11
They have taken gifts in thee to shed blood: thou hast taken usury and increase, and hast covetously oppressed thy neighbours: and thou hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 22:12
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
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me: all these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dross of silver. Ezec. 22:18
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
Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath. Ezec. 22:24
There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof. Ezec. 22:25
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
Her princes in the midst of her, are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls, and to run after gains through covetousness. Ezec. 22:27
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 they committed fornication in Egypt, in their youth they committed fornication: there were their breasts pressed down, and the teats of their virginity were bruised. Ezec. 23:3
Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her. Ezec. 23:8
They discovered her disgrace, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and they became infamous women, and they executed judgments in her. Ezec. 23:10
And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours, Ezec. 23:14
For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt. Ezec. 23:19
And thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy youth, when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the paps of thy virginity broken. Ezec. 23:21
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
And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and they shall take away all thy labours, and shall let thee go naked, and full of disgrace, and the disgrace of thy fornication shall be discovered, thy wickedness, and thy fornications. Ezec. 23:29
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister and I will give her cup into thy hand. Ezec. 23:31
Thus saith the Lord God: Thou shalt drink thy sister's cup, deep and wide: thou shalt be had in derision and scorn, which containeth very much. Ezec. 23:32
Because they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and they have committed fornication with their idols: moreover also their children, whom they bore to me, they have offered to them to be devoured. Ezec. 23:37
And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, and went into my sanctuary the same day to profane it: they did these things even in the midst of my house. Ezec. 23:39
And there was in her the voice of a multitude rejoicing: and to some that were brought of the multitude of men, and that came from the desert, they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads. Ezec. 23:42
And I said to her that was worn out in her adulteries: Now will this woman still continue in her fornication. Ezec. 23:43
And they went in to her, as to a harlot: so went they in unto Oolla, and Ooliba, wicked women. Ezec. 23:44
They therefore are just men: these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as shedders of blood are judged: because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. Ezec. 23:45
¤ And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying: Ezec. 24:1
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
Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of it. Ezec. 24:5
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon it. Ezec. 24:6
For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust. Ezec. 24:7
Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed. Ezec. 24:11
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
Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners. Ezec. 24:17
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 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 when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee: Ezec. 24:26
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
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
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
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
¤ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 26:1
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
Thy daughters that are in the field, he shall kill with the sword: and he shall compass thee with forts, and shall cast up a mount round about: and he shall lift up the buckler against thee. Ezec. 26:8
By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, when they shall go in at thy gates, as by the entrance of a city that is destroyed. Ezec. 26:10
They shall waste thy riches, they shall make a spoil of thy merchandise: and they shall destroy thy walls, and pull down thy fine houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber, and thy dust in the midst of the waters. Ezec. 26:12
Thus saith the Lord God to Tyre: Shall not the islands shake at the sound of thy fall, and the groans of thy slain when they shall be killed in the midst of thee? Ezec. 26:15
And taking up a lamentation over thee, they shall say to thee: How art thou fallen, that dwellest in the sea, renowned city that wast strong in the sea, with thy inhabitants whom all did dread? Ezec. 26:17
Now shall the ships be astonished in the day of thy terror: and the islands in the sea shall be troubled because no one cometh out of thee. Ezec. 26:18
And when I shall bring thee down with those that descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and shall set thee in the lowest parts of the earth, as places desolate of old, with them that are brought down into the pit, that thou be not inhabited: and when I shall give glory in the land of the living, Ezec. 26:20
And situate in the heart of the sea. Thy neighbours, that built thee, have perfected thy beauty: Ezec. 27:4
The Persians, and Lydians, and the Libyans were thy soldiers in thy army: they hung up the buckler and the helmet in thee for thy ornament. Ezec. 27:10
The men of Arad were with thy army upon thy walls round about: the Pygmeans also that were in thy towers, hung up their quivers on thy walls round about: they perfected thy beauty. Ezec. 27:11
The Syrian was thy merchant: by reason of the multitude of thy works, they set forth precious stones, and purple, and broidered works, and fine linen, and silk, and chodchod in thy market. Ezec. 27:16
Juda and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants with the best corn: they set forth balm, and honey, and oil and rosin in thy fairs. Ezec. 27:17
The men of Damascus were thy merchants in the multitude of thy works, the multitude of divers riches, in rich wine, in wool of the best colour. Ezec. 27:18
Dan, and Greece, and Mosel have set forth in thy marts wrought iron: stacte, and calamus were in thy market. Ezec. 27:19
The men of Dedan were thy merchants in tapestry for seats. Ezec. 27:20
The sellers of Saba, and Reema, they were thy merchants: with all the best spices, and precious stones, and gold, which they set forth in thy market. Ezec. 27:22
They were thy merchants in divers manners, with bales of blue cloth, and of embroidered work, and of precious riches, which were wrapped up and bound with cords: they had cedars also in thy merchandise. Ezec. 27:24
The ships of the sea, were thy chief in thy merchandise: and thou wast replenished, and glorified exceedingly in the heart of the sea. Ezec. 27:25
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind hath broken thee in the heart of the sea. Ezec. 27:26
Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin. Ezec. 27:27
And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and shall lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea? Ezec. 27:32
Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen. Ezec. 27:34
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
In thy wisdom and thy understanding thou hast made thyself strong: and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures. Ezec. 28:4
They shall kill thee, and bring thee down: and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the heart of the sea. Ezec. 28:8
Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee? Ezec. 28:9
And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Ezec. 28:12
Thou wast in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the jasper, the chrysolite, and the onyx, and the beryl, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of thy beauty: and thy pipes were prepared in the day that thou wast created. Ezec. 28:13
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
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee. Ezec. 28:15
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

¤ In the tenth year, the tenth month, the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 29:1
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 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.

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
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 the sword shall come upon Egypt: and there shall be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded shall fall in Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be taken away, and the foundations thereof shall be destroyed. Ezec. 30:4
Thus saith the Lord God: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her empire shall be brought down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord the God of hosts. Ezec. 30:6
And they shall be desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. Ezec. 30:7
And they shall know that I am the Lord: when I shall have set a fire in Egypt, and all the helpers thereof shall be destroyed. Ezec. 30:8
In that day shall messengers go forth from my face in ships to destroy the confidence of Ethiopia, and there shall be dread among them in the day of Egypt: because it shall certainly come. Ezec. 30:9
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 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
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 30:20

¤ And it came to pass, in the eleventh year, the third month the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 31:1
Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness? Ezec. 31:2
Behold, the Assyrian like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs. Ezec. 31:3
And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow. Ezec. 31:6
The cedars in the paradise of God were not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty. Ezec. 31:8
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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height: Ezec. 31:10
And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him. Ezec. 31:12
For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 31:14
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
For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword; and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. Ezec. 31:17
To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 31:18
¤ And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 32:1
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao the king of Egypt, and say to him: Thou art like the lion of the nations, and the dragon that is in the sea: and thou didst push with the horn in thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and didst trample upon their streams. Ezec. 32:2
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
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
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me saying: Ezec. 32:17
Whom dost thou excel in beauty? go down and sleep with the uncircumcised. Ezec. 32:19
They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain with the sword: the sword is given, they have drawn her down, and all her people. Ezec. 32:20
Whose graves are set in the lowest parts of the pit: and his multitude lay round about his grave: all of them slain, and fallen by the sword, they that heretofore spread terror in the land of the living. Ezec. 32:23
There is Elam and all his multitude round about his grave, all of them slain, and fallen by the sword; that went down uncircumcised to the lowest parts of the earth: that caused their terror in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 32:24
In the midst of the slain they have set him a bed among all his people: their graves are round about him: all these are uncircumcised, and slain by the sword: for they spread their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that descend into the pit: they are laid in the midst of the slain. Ezec. 32:25
There is Mosoch, and Thubal, and all their multitude: their graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised and slain, and fallen by the sword: though they spread their terror in the land of the living. Ezec. 32:26
And they shall not sleep with the brave, and with them that fell uncircumcised, that went down to hell with their weapons, and laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities were in their bones, because they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. Ezec. 32:27
So thou also shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt sleep with them that are slain by the sword. Ezec. 32:28
There are all the princes of the north, and all the hunters: who were brought down with the slain, fearing, and confounded in their strength: who slept uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and have borne their shame with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 32:30
Because I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he hath slept in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword: Pharao and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 32:32
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
When I say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand. Ezec. 33:8
But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezec. 33:9
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you have spoken, saying: Our iniquities, and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them: how then can we live? Ezec. 33:10
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the children of thy people: The justice of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice, in what day soever he shall sin. Ezec. 33:12
Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die. Ezec. 33:13
And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die. Ezec. 33:15
For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them. Ezec. 33:18
And when the wicked shall depart from his wickedness, and shall do judgments, and justice, he shall live in them. Ezec. 33:19
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that there came to me one that was fled from Jerusalem, saying: The city is laid waste. Ezec. 33:21
And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more. Ezec. 33:22
Son of man, they that dwell in these ruinous places in the land of Israel, speak, saying: Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many, the land is given us in possession. Ezec. 33:24
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 thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each man to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. Ezec. 33:30
And they come to thee, as if people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness. Ezec. 33:31
My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks were scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them. Ezec. 34:6
As the shepherd visiteth his flock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. Ezec. 34:12
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 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 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
Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of their last iniquity. Ezec. 35:5
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
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
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
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
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. Ezec. 36:17
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
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. Ezec. 36:23
And I will 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
Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places, Ezec. 36:33
And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by, Ezec. 36:34
Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men, Ezec. 36:37
As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 36:38
¤ The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was full of bones. Ezec. 37:1
And I 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 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
And join them one to the other into one stick, and they shall become one in thy hand. Ezec. 37:17
Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that are associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall be one in his hand. Ezec. 37:19
And the sticks whereon thou hast written, shall be in thy hand, before their eyes. Ezec. 37:20
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 my servant David shall be king over them, and they shall have one shepherd: they shall walk in my judgments, and shall keep my commandments, and shall do them. Ezec. 37:24
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 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 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
After many days thou shalt be visited: at the end of years thou shalt come to the land that is returned from the sword, and is gathered out of many nations, to the mountains of Israel which have been continually waste: but it hath been brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all of them dwell securely in it. Ezec. 38:8
Thus saith the Lord God: In that day projects shall enter into thy heart, and thou shalt conceive a mischievous design. Ezec. 38:10
To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people that is gathered together out of the nations, which hath begun to possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth. Ezec. 38:12
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: Thus saith the Lord God: Shalt thou not know, in that day, when my people of Israel shall dwell securely? Ezec. 38:14
And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud, to cover the earth. Thou shalt be in the latter days, and I will bring thee upon my land: that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Ezec. 38:16
Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them. Ezec. 38:17
And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day of the coming of Gog upon the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my indignation shall come up in my wrath. Ezec. 38:18
And I have spoken in my zeal, and in the fire of my anger, that in that day there shall be a great commotion upon the land of Israel: Ezec. 38:19
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 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 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
And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 39:6
And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and my holy name shall be profaned no more: and the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. Ezec. 39:7
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog. Ezec. 39:11
And they shall go about passing through the land: and when they shall see the bone of a man, they shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers bury it in the valley, of the multitude of Gog. Ezec. 39:15
And they shall bear their confusion, and all the transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against me, when they shall dwell in their land securely fearing no man: Ezec. 39:26
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
¤ In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither. Ezec. 40:1
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards the south. Ezec. 40:2
And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate. Ezec. 40:3
And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed. Ezec. 40:5
And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door. Ezec. 40:13
And slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like manner there were also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of palm trees. Ezec. 40:16
And he brought me into the outward court, and behold there were chambers, and a pavement of stone in the court round about: thirty chambers encompassed the pavement. Ezec. 40:17
And the pavement in the front of the gates according to the length of the gates was lower. Ezec. 40:18
And there were seven steps to go up to it: and a porch before the doors thereof: and there were graven palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side in the front thereof. Ezec. 40:26
The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof with the same measures: and the windows thereof, and the porch thereof round about it was fifty cubits in length, and five and twenty cubits in breadth. Ezec. 40:29
And the porch thereof to the outward court, and the palm trees thereof in the front: and there were eight steps to go up to it. Ezec. 40:31
And the porch thereof, that is, of the outward court: and the graven palm trees in the front thereof on this side and on that side: and the going up thereof was by eight steps. Ezec. 40:34
And the porch thereof looked to the outward court: and the graving of palm trees in the front thereof was on this side and on that side: and the going up to it was by eight steps. Ezec. 40:37
And at every chamber was a door in the forefronts of the gates: there they washed the holocaust. Ezec. 40:38
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side: that the holocaust, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering might be slain thereon. Ezec. 40:39
And the four tables for the holocausts were made of square stones: one cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: to lay the vessels upon, in which the holocaust and the victim is slain. Ezec. 40:42
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singing men in the inner court, which was on the side of the gate that looketh to the north: and their prospect was towards the south, one at the side of the east gate, which looketh toward the north. Ezec. 40:44
And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple. Ezec. 40:45
And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to go up to it. And there were pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side. Ezec. 40:49
And the side chambers one by another, were twice thirty-three: and they bore outwards, that they might enter in through the wall of the house in the sides round about, to hold in, and not to touch the wall of the temple. Ezec. 41:6
And there was a broad passage round about, going up by winding stairs, and it led into the upper loft of the temple all round: therefore was the temple broader in the higher parts: and so from the lower parts they went to the higher by the midst. Ezec. 41:7
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 he measured the length of the house, a hundred cubits: and the separate building, and the walls thereof, a hundred cubits in length. Ezec. 41:13
From the ground even to the upper parts of the gate, were cherubims and palm trees wrought in the wall of the temple. Ezec. 41:20
And there were two doors in the temple, and in the sanctuary. Ezec. 41:23
And in the two doors on both sides were two little doors, which were folded within each other: for there were two wickets on both sides of the doors. Ezec. 41:24
And there were cherubims also wrought in the doors of the temple, and the figures of palm trees, like as were made on the walls: for which cause also the planks were thicker in the front of the porch without. Ezec. 41:25
Upon which were the oblique windows, and the representation of palm trees on this side, and on that side in the sides of the porch, according to the sides of the house, and the breadth of the walls. Ezec. 41:26
In the face of the north door was the length of a hundred cubits, and the breadth of fifty cubits. Ezec. 42:2
In the breadth of the outward wall of the court that was toward the east, over against the separate building, and there were chambers before the building. Ezec. 42:10
And the way before them was like the chambers which were toward the north: they were as long as they, and as broad as they: and all the going in to them, and their fashions, and their doors were alike. Ezec. 42:11
According to the doors of the chambers that were towards the south: there was a door in the head of the way, which way was before the porch, separated towards the east as one entereth in. Ezec. 42:12
And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place. Ezec. 42:13
And when the priests shall have entered in, they shall not go out of the holy places into the outward court: but there they shall lay their vestments, wherein they minister, for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and so they shall go forth to the people. Ezec. 42:14
And behold the glory of the God of Israel came in by the way of the east: and his voice was like the noise of many waters, and the earth shone with his majesty. Ezec. 43:2
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 be ashamed of all that they have done. Shew them the form of the house, and of the fashion thereof, the goings out and the comings in, and the whole plan thereof, and all its ordinances, and all its order, and all its laws, and thou shalt write it in their sight: that they may keep the whole form thereof, and its ordinances, and do them. Ezec. 43:11
And the brim was fourteen cubits long, and fourteen cubits broad in the four corners thereof: and the crown round about it was half a cubit, and the bottom of it one cubit round about: and its steps turned toward the east. Ezec. 43:17
And he said to me: Son of man, thus saith the Lord God: These are the ceremonies of the altar, in what day soever it shall be made: that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood poured out. Ezec. 43:18
And thou shalt take the calf, that is offered for sin: and thou shalt burn him in a separate place of the house without the sanctuary. Ezec. 43:21
And in the second day thou shalt offer a he goat without blemish for sin: and they shall expiate the altar, as they expiated it with the calf. Ezec. 43:22
And thou shalt offer them in the sight of the Lord, and the priests shall put salt upon them, and shall offer them a holocaust to the Lord. Ezec. 43:24
And the Lord said to me: This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall pass through it: because the Lord the God of Israel hath entered in by it, and it shall be shut Ezec. 44:2
For the prince. The prince himself shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord: he shall enter in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the same way. Ezec. 44:3
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
In that you have brought in strangers uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to defile my house: and you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood: and you have broken my covenant by all your wicked doings. Ezec. 44:7
And you have not kept the ordinances of my sanctuary: but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. Ezec. 44:8
Thus saith the Lord God: No stranger uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, no stranger that is in the midst of the children of Israel. Ezec. 44:9
They shall be officers in my sanctuary, and doorkeepers of the gates of the house, and ministers to the house: they shall slay the holocausts, and the victims of the people: and they shall stand in their sight, to minister to them. Ezec. 44:11
And when they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments: neither shall any woollen come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court and within. Ezec. 44:17
And when they shall go forth to the outward court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them up in the store chamber of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments: and they shall not sanctify the people with their vestments. Ezec. 44:19
And when there shall be a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and shall judge: they shall keep my laws, and my ordinances in all my solemnities, and sanctify my sabbaths. Ezec. 44:24
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister unto me in the sanctuary, he shall offer for his sin, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 44:27
And 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
They shall eat the victim both for sin and for trespass: and every vowed thing in Israel shall be theirs. Ezec. 44:29
¤ And when you shall begin to divide the land by lot, separate ye firstfruits to the Lord, a portion of the land to be holy, in length twenty-five thousand and in breadth ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about. Ezec. 45:1
And with this measure thou shalt measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand, and in it shall be the temple and the holy of holies. Ezec. 45:3
And five and twenty thousand of length, and ten thousand of breadth shall be for the Levites, that minister in the house: they shall possess twenty store chambers. Ezec. 45:5
He shall have a portion of the land in Israel: and the princes shall no more rob my people: but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes: Ezec. 45:8
All the people of the land shall be bound to these firstfruits for the prince in Israel. Ezec. 45:16
Thus saith the Lord God: In the first month, the first of the month, thou shalt take a calf of the herd without blemish, and thou shalt expiate the sanctuary. Ezec. 45:18
And so shalt thou do in the seventh day of the month, for every one that hath been ignorant, and hath been deceived by error, and thou shalt make expiation for the house. Ezec. 45:20
In the first month, the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the solemnity of the pasch: seven days unleavened bread shall be eaten. Ezec. 45:21
And in the solemnity of the seven days he shall offer for a holocaust to the Lord, seven calves, and seven rams without blemish daily for seven days: and for sin a he goat daily. Ezec. 45:23
In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the solemn feast, he shall do the like for the seven days: as well in regard to the sin offering, as to the holocaust, and the sacrifice, and the oil. Ezec. 45:25
And he shall offer in sacrifice an ephi for a calf, an ephi also for a ram: but for the lambs, as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil for every ephi. Ezec. 46:7
And when the prince is to go in, let him go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and let him go out the same way. Ezec. 46:8
But when the people of the land shall go in before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that goeth in by the north gate to adore, shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that goeth in by the way of the south gate, shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go out at that over against it. Ezec. 46:9
And the prince in the midst of them, shall go in when they go in, and go out when they go out. Ezec. 46:10
And in the fairs, and in the solemnities there shall be the sacrifice of an ephi to a calf, and an ephi to a ram: and to the lambs, the sacrifice shall be as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil to every ephi. Ezec. 46:11
And he shall offer every day for a holocaust to the Lord, a lamb of the same year without blemish: he shall offer it always in the morning. Ezec. 46:13
And he brought me in by the entry that was at the side of the gate, into the chambers of the sanctuary that were for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place bending to the west. Ezec. 46:19
And he brought me into the outward court, and he led me about by the four corners of the court: and behold there was a little court in the corner of the court, to every corner of the court there was a little court. Ezec. 46:21
In the four corners of the court were little courts disposed, forty cubits long, and thirty broad, all the four were of one measure. Ezec. 46:22
And when the man that had the line in his hand went out towards the east, he measured a thousand cubits: and he brought me through the water up to the ankles. Ezec. 47:3
And every living creature that creepeth whithersoever the torrent shall come, shall live: and there shall be fishes in abundance after these waters shall come thither, and they shall be healed, and all things shall live to which the torrent shall come. Ezec. 47:9
But on the shore thereof, and in the fenny places they shall not be healed, because they shall be turned into saltpits. Ezec. 47:11
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 you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that shall come over to you, that shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as men of the same country born among the children of Israel: they shall divide the possession with you in the midst of the tribes of Israel. Ezec. 47:22
And in what tribe soever the stranger shall be, there shall you give him possession, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 47:23
And by the border of Juda, from the east side even to the side of the sea, shall be the firstfruits which you shall set apart, five and twenty thousand in breadth, and length, as every one of the portions from the east side to the side of the sea: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst thereof. Ezec. 48:8
And these shall be the firstfruits of the sanctuary for the priests: toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the sea ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east also ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof. Ezec. 48:10
And the Levites in like manner shall have by the borders of the priests five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth. All the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. Ezec. 48:13
But the five thousand that remain in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city for dwelling, and for suburbs and the city shall be in the midst thereof. Ezec. 48:15
And the residue in length by the firstfruits of the sanctuary, ten thousand toward the east, and ten thousand toward the west, shall be as the firstfruits of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for bread to them that serve the city. Ezec. 48:18
And the residue shall be for the prince on every side of the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and of the possession of the city over against the five and twenty thousand of the firstfruits unto the east border: toward the sea also over against the five and twenty thousand, unto the border of the sea, shall likewise be the portion of the prince: and the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in the midst thereof. Ezec. 48:21
And from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city which are in the midst of the prince's portions: what shall be to the border of Juda, and to the border of Benjamin, shall also belong to the prince. Ezec. 48:22
‡ ¤ In the third year of the reign of Joakim, king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, and beseiged it. Dan. 1:1
And the king spoke to Asphenez, the master of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes, Dan. 1:3
Children in whom there was no blemish, well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, acute in knowledge, and instructed in science, and such as might stand in the king's palace, that he might teach them the learning, and the tongue of the Chaldeans. Dan. 1:4
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not be defiled with the king's table, nor with the wine which he drank: and he requested the master of the eunuchs that he might not be defiled. Dan. 1:8
And God gave to Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs. Dan. 1:9
And to these children God gave knowledge, and understanding in every book, and wisdom: but to Daniel the understanding also of all visions and dreams. Dan. 1:17
And when the days were ended, after which the king had ordered they should be brought in: the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor. Dan. 1:18
And when the king had spoken to them, there were not found among them all such as Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias: and they stood in the king's presence. Dan. 1:19
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the diviners, and wise men, that were in all his kingdom. Dan. 1:20
¤ In the second year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuchodonosor had a dream, and his spirit was terrified, and his dream went out of his mind. Dan. 2:1
And the king said to them: I saw a dream: and being troubled in mind I know not what I saw. Dan. 2:3
And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac: O king, live for ever: tell to thy servants thy dream, and we will declare the interpretation thereof. Dan. 2:4
Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death. Dan. 2:12
Daniel went in, and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question, and declare it to the king. Dan. 2:16
Then was the mystery revealed to Daniel by a vision in the night: and Daniel blessed the God of heaven, Dan. 2:19
He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him. Dan. 2:22
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
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these: Dan. 2:28
Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass. Dan. 2:29
Thus thou sawest, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statue upon the feet thereof that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Dan. 2:34
But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people: and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms: and itself shall stand for ever. Dan. 2:44
According as thou sawest, that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces the clay and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful. Dan. 2:45
Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense. Dan. 2:46
And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace. Dan. 2:49
¤ Now there was a man that dwelt in Babylon, and his name was Joakim: Dan. 13:1
And when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went in, and walked in her husband's orchard. Dan. 13:7
And the old men saw her going in every day, and walking: and they were inflamed with lust towards her: Dan. 13:8
And it fell out, as they watched a fit day, she went in on a time, as yesterday and the day before, with two maids only, and was desirous to wash herself in the orchard: for it was hot weather. Dan. 13:15
Behold the doors of the orchard are shut, and nobody seeth us, and we are in love with thee: wherefore consent to us, and lie with us. Dan. 13:20
But it is better for me to fall into your hands without doing it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord. Dan. 13:23
So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the orchard, they rushed in by the back door, to see what was the matter. Dan. 13:26
But the two elders rising up in the midst of the people, laid their hands upon her head. Dan. 13:34
And she weeping, looked up to heaven, for her heart had confidence in the Lord. Dan. 13:35
And the elders said: As we walked in the orchard alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the doors of the orchard, and sent away the maids from her. Dan. 13:36
But we that were in a corner of the orchard, seeing this wickedness, ran up to them, and we saw them lie together. Dan. 13:38
But he standing in the midst of them, said: Are ye so foolish, ye children of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth, you have condemned a daughter of Israel? Dan. 13:48
So all the people turned again in haste, and the old men said to him: Come, and sit thou down among us, and shew it us: seeing God hath given thee the honour of old age. Dan. 13:50
So when they were put asunder one from the other, he called one of them, and said to him: O thou that art grown old in evil days, now are thy sins come out, which thou hast committed before: Dan. 13:52
In judging unjust judgments, oppressing the innocent, and letting the guilty to go free, whereas the Lord saith: The innocent and the just thou shalt not kill. Dan. 13:53
And Daniel said: Well hast thou lied against thy own head: for behold the angel of God having received the sentence of him, shall cut thee in two. Dan. 13:55
And Daniel said to him: Well hast thou also lied against thy own head: for the angel of the Lord waiteth with a sword to cut thee in two, and to destroy you. Dan. 13:59
With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and they blessed God, who saveth them that trust in him. Dan. 13:60
To fulfil the law of Moses: and they put them to death, and innocent blood was saved in that day. Dan. 13:62
But Helcias, and his wife, praised God, for their daughter, Susanna, with Joakim, her husband, and all her kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her. Dan. 13:63
And Daniel became great in the sight of the people from that day, and thence forward. Dan. 13:64
¤ King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura, of the province of Babylon. Dan. 3:1
Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. Dan. 3:3
That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music, ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up. Dan. 3:5
Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king. Dan. 3:13
And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:20
For the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago. Dan. 3:22
But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:23
And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God, and blessing the Lord. Dan. A:1
Then Azarias standing up, prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said: Dan. A:2
For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true. Dan. A:4
For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins. Dan. A:5
For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed in all things: Dan. A:6
Wherefore, all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment: Dan. A:8
For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins. Dan. A:14
That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless, in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted. Dan. A:16
As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee. Dan. A:17
And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants, let them be confounded in all thy might, and let their strength be broken: Dan. A:21
Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat the furnace with brimstone and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks, Dan. A:23
Then these three, as with one mouth, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying: Dan. A:28
Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers; and worthy to be praised, and glorified, and exalted above all for ever: and blessed is the holy name of thy glory: and worthy to be praised and exalted above all, in all ages. Dan. A:29
Blessed art thou in the holy temple of thy glory: and exceedingly to be praised, and exceeding glorious for ever. Dan. A:30
Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven: and worthy of praise, and glorious for ever. Dan. A:33
O all ye things that spring up in the earth, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever. Dan. A:53
O ye whales, and all that move in the waters, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever. Dan. A:56
Then Nabuchodonosor, the king, was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: True, O king. Dan. 3:24
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
Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king's word, and delivered up their bodies, that they might not serve nor adore any god except their own God. Dan. 3:28
By me, therefore, this decree is made: That every people, tribe, and tongue, which shall speak blasphemy against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses laid waste: for there is no other God that can save in this manner. Dan. 3:29
Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon. Dan. 3:30
¤ Nabuchodonosor, the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you. Dan. 4:1
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
Its leaves were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much: and in it was food for all: under it dwelt cattle and beasts, and in the branches thereof the fowls of the air had their abode: and all flesh did eat of it. Dan. 4:12
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
Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be tied with a band of iron and of brass, among the grass, that is without, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild beasts in the grass of the earth. Dan. 4:15
This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word and demand of the holy ones: till the living know, that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men: and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it. Dan. 4:17
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 branches thereof were most beautiful, and its fruit exceeding much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and the birds of the air had their abode in its branches. Dan. 4:21
And whereas the king saw a watcher, and a holy one come down from heaven, and say: Cut down the tree, and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass, among the grass without, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, till seven times pass over him. Dan. 4:23
At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace of Babylon. Dan. 4:29
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
And while the word was yet in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven: To thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, it is said: Thy kingdom shall pass from thee. Dan. 4:31
And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:32
Therefore I, Nabuchodonosor, do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase. Dan. 4:37
And being now drunk, he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nabuchodonosor, his father, had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them. Dan. 5:2
Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. Dan. 5:3
In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick, upon the surface of the wall of the king's palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote. Dan. 5:5
And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom. Dan. 5:7
Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king. Dan. 5:8
There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor, thy father, appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king: Dan. 5:11
Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltassar. Now, therefore, let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation. Dan. 5:12
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father, the king, brought out of Judea? Dan. 5:13
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
And now the wise men, the magicians, have come in before me, to read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof; and they could not declare to me the meaning of this writing. Dan. 5:15
But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom. Dan. 5:16
And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him. Dan. 5:21
But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified. Dan. 5:23
THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting. Dan. 5:27
Then by the king's command, Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom. Dan. 5:29
And Daniel excelled all the princes, and governors: because a greater spirit of God was in him. Dan. 6:3
And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom; whereupon the princes, and the governors, sought to find occasion against Daniel, with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him. Dan. 6:4
Now, when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before. Dan. 6:10
Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him, and even till sunset he laboured to save him. Dan. 6:14
Then the king rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions' den: Dan. 6:19
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
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God. Dan. 6:23
And by the king's commandment, those men were brought that had accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions' den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces. Dan. 6:24
Then king Darius wrote to all people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto you. Dan. 6:25
It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever. Dan. 6:26
He is the deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den. Dan. 6:27
And when thou comest in the morning, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death, or else Daniel, that hath lied against us. Dan. 14:11
And they little regarded it, because they had made under the table a secret entrance, and they always came in by it, and consumed those things. Dan. 14:12
But the priests went in by night, according to their custom, with their wives, and their children: and they ate and drank up all. Dan. 14:14
And the king arose early in the morning, and Daniel with him. Dan. 14:15
And Daniel laughed: and he held the king, that he should not go in: and he said: Behold the pavement, mark whose footsteps these are. Dan. 14:18
Then he took the priests, and their wives, and their children: and they shewed him the private doors by which they came in, and consumed the things that were on the table. Dan. 14:20
And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped him. Dan. 14:22
And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given to them two carcasses every day, and two sheep: but then they were not given unto them, that they might devour Daniel. Dan. 14:31
Now there was in Judea a prophet called Habacuc, and he had boiled pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl: and was going into the field, to carry it to the reapers. Dan. 14:32
And the angel of the Lord said to Habacuc: Carry the dinner which thou hast into Babylon, to Daniel, who is in the lions' den. Dan. 14:33
And the angel of the Lord took him by the top of his head, and carried him by the hair of his head, and set him in Babylon, over the den, in the force of his spirit. Dan. 14:35
And Daniel arose, and ate. And the angel of the Lord presently set Habacuc again in his own place. Dan. 14:38
And upon the seventh day the king came to bewail Daniel: and he came to the den, and looked in, and behold Daniel was sitting in the midst of the lions. Dan. 14:39
But those that had been the cause of his destruction, he cast into the den, and they were devoured in a moment before him. Dan. 14:41
Then the king said: Let all the inhabitants of the whole earth fear the God of Daniel: for he is the Saviour, working signs, and wonders in the earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den. Dan. 14:42
¤ In the first year of Baltasar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in a few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said: Dan. 7:1
I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. Dan. 7:2
And behold another beast, like a bear, stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh. Dan. 7:5
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, 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
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
And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. Dan. 7:23
And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end. Dan. 7:26
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 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 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 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
According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand: and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he shall kill many: and he shall rise up against the prince of princes, and shall be broken without hand. Dan. 8:25
¤ In the first year of Darius, the son of Assuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans: Dan. 9:1
We have not hearkened to thy servants, the prophets, that have spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to all the people of the land. Dan. 9:6
To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities, by which they have sinned against thee. Dan. 9:7
And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, our God, to walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants, the prophets. Dan. 9:10
And all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have turned away from hearing thy voice, and the malediction, and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses, the servant of God, is fallen upon us, because we have sinned against him. Dan. 9:11
And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem. Dan. 9:12
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: and we entreated not thy face, O Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and think on thy truth. Dan. 9:13
And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord, our God, is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice. Dan. 9:14

And the angel went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth forth. Zach. 5:5
And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth. Zach. 5:6
And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel. Zach. 5:7
And I lifted up my eyes and looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven. Zach. 5:9
And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel? Zach. 5:10
And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis. Zach. 5:11
In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses. Zach. 6:2
And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled horses, and strong ones. Zach. 6:3
And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord? Zach. 6:4
That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south. Zach. 6:6
And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north. Zach. 6:8
Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon. Zach. 6:10
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord. Zach. 6:14
And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God. Zach. 6:15
¤ And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, in the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Casleu. Zach. 7:1
To speak to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: Must I weep in the fifth month, or must I sanctify myself as I have now done for many years? Zach. 7:3
Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: When you fasted, and mourned in the fifth and the seventh month for these seventy years: did you keep a fast unto me? Zach. 7:5
Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem as yet was inhabited, and was wealthy, both itself and the cities round about it, and there were inhabitants towards the south, and in the plain? Zach. 7:7
And oppress not the widow, and the fatherless, and the stranger, and the poor: and let not a man devise evil in his heart against his brother. Zach. 7:10
And they made their heart as the adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts sent in his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: so a great indignation came from the Lord of hosts. Zach. 7:12
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The sanctified mountain. Zach. 8:3
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days. Zach. 8:4
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls, playing in the streets thereof. Zach. 8:5
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my eyes, saith the Lord of hosts? Zach. 8:6
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in justice. Zach. 8:8
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Let your hands be strengthened, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, in the day that the house of the Lord of hosts was founded, that the temple might be built. Zach. 8:9
For before those days there was no hire for men, neither was there hire for beasts, neither was there peace to him that came in, nor to him that went out, because of the tribulation: and I let all men go every one against his neighbour. Zach. 8:10
And I had no mercy: so turning again I have thought in these days to do good to the house of Juda, and Jerusalem: fear not. Zach. 8:15
These then are the things, which you shall do: Speak ye truth every one to his neighbour; judge ye truth and judgment of peace in your gates. Zach. 8:16
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his friend: and love not a false oath: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord. Zach. 8:17
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, until people come and dwell in many cities, Zach. 8:20
And many peoples, and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the Lord. Zach. 8:22
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the skirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. Zach. 8:23
¤ The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and of Damascus the rest thereof: for the eye of man, and of all the tribes of Israel is the Lord's. Zach. 9:1
Emath also in the borders thereof, and Tyre, and Sidon: for they have taken to themselves to be exceeding wise. Zach. 9:2
Behold the Lord shall possess her, and shall strike her strength in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire. Zach. 9:4
And the divider shall sit in Azotus, and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines. Zach. 9:6
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: and even he shall be left to our God, and he shall be as a governor in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite. Zach. 9:7
And I will encompass my house with them that serve me in war, going and returning, and the oppressor shall no more pass through them: for now I have seen with my eyes. Zach. 9:8
And the Lord God shall be seen over them, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and go in the whirlwind of the south. Zach. 9:14
And the Lord their God will save them in that day, as the flock of his people: for holy stones shall be lifted up over his land. Zach. 9:16
¤ Ask ye of the Lord rain in the latter season, and the Lord will make snows, and will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. Zach. 10:1
For the idols have spoken what was unprofitable, and the diviners have seen a lie, and the dreamers have spoken vanity: they comforted in vain: therefore they were led away as a flock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd. Zach. 10:2
My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as the horse of his glory in the battle. Zach. 10:3
And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be confounded. Zach. 10:5
And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall be joyful in the Lord. Zach. 10:7
And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart. Zach. 10:11
I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, saith the Lord. Zach. 10:12
And I cut off three shepherds in one month, and my soul was straitened in their regard: for their soul also varied in my regard. Zach. 11:8
And it was made void in that day: and so the poor of the flock that keep for me, understood that it is the word of the Lord. Zach. 11:11
And I said to them: If it be good in your eyes, bring hither my wages: and if not, be quiet. And they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. Zach. 11:12
For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break their hoofs. Zach. 11:16
¤ The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. Thus saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundations of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man in him: Zach. 12:1
Behold I will make Jerusalem a lintel of surfeiting to all the people round about: and Juda also shall be in the siege against Jerusalem. Zach. 12:2
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against her. Zach. 12:3
In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike every horse of the nations with blindness. Zach. 12:4
And the governors of Juda shall say in their heart: Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me in the Lord of hosts, their God. Zach. 12:5
In that day I will make the governors of Juda like a furnace of fire amongst wood, and as a firebrand amongst hay: and they shall devour all the people round about, to the right hand, and to the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place in Jerusalem. Zach. 12:6
And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda, as in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify themselves against Juda. Zach. 12:7
In that day shall the Lord protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that hath offended among them in that day shall be as David: and the house of David, as that of God, as an angel of the Lord in their sight. Zach. 12:8
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Zach. 12:9
In that day there shall be a great lamentation in Jerusalem like the lamentation of Adadremmon in the plain of Mageddon. Zach. 12:11
¤ In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: for the washing of the sinner, and of the unclean woman. Zach. 13:1
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will destroy the names of idols out of the earth, and they shall be remembered no more: and I will take away the false prophets, and the unclean spirit out of the earth. Zach. 13:2
And it shall come to pass, that when any man shall prophesy any more, his father and his mother that brought him into the world, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live: because thou hast spoken a lie in the name of the Lord. And his father, and his mother, his parents, shall thrust him through, when he shall prophesy. Zach. 13:3
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be confounded, every one by his own vision, when he shall prophesy, neither shall they be clad with a garment of sackcloth, to deceive: Zach. 13:4
And they shall say to him: What are these wounds in the midst of thy hands? And he shall say: With these I was wounded in the house of them that loved me. Zach. 13:6
And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered, and shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein. Zach. 13:8
¤ Behold the days of the Lord shall come, and thy spoils shall be divided in the midst of thee. Zach. 14:1
Then the Lord shall go forth, and shall fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. Zach. 14:3
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is over against Jerusalem towards the east: and the mount of Olives shall be divided in the midst thereof to the east, and to the west with a very great opening, and half of the mountain shall be separated to the north, and half thereof to the south. Zach. 14:4
And you shall flee to the valley of those mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall be joined even to the next, and you shall flee as you fled from the face of the earthquake in the days of Ozias king of Juda: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with him. Zach. 14:5
And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall be no light, but cold and frost. Zach. 14:6
And there shall be one day, which is known to the Lord, not day nor night: and in the time of the evening there shall be light: Zach. 14:7
And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem: half of them to the east sea, and half of them to the last sea: they shall be in summer and in winter. Zach. 14:8
And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name shall be one. Zach. 14:9
And all the land shall return even to the desert, from the hill to Remmon to the south of Jerusalem: and she shall be exalted, and shall dwell in her own place, from the gate of Benjamin even to the place of the former gate, and even to the gate of the corners: and from the tower of Hananeel even to the king's winepresses. Zach. 14:10
And people shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more an anathema: but Jerusalem shall sit secure. Zach. 14:11
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord shall strike all nations that have fought against Jerusalem: the flesh of every one shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. Zach. 14:12
In that day there shall be a great tumult from the Lord among them: and a man shall take the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall be clasped upon his neighbour's hand. Zach. 14:13
And even Juda shall fight against Jerusalem: and the riches of all nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and garments in great abundance. Zach. 14:14
And the destruction of the horse, and of the mule, and of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts, that shall be in those tents, shall be like this destruction. Zach. 14:15
In that day that which is upon the bridle of the horse shall be holy to the Lord: and the caldrons in the house of the Lord shall be as the phials before the altar. Zach. 14:20
And every caldron in Jerusalem and Juda shall be sanctified to the Lord of hosts: and all that sacrifice shall come, and take of them, and shall seethe in them: and the merchant shall be no more in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day. Zach. 14:21
To you, O priests, that despise my name, and have said: Wherein have we despised thy name? You offer polluted bread upon my altar, and you say: Wherein have we polluted thee? In that you say: The table of the Lord is contemptible. Mal. 1:7
Who is there among you, that will shut the doors, and will kindle the fire on my altar gratis? I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will not receive a gift of your hand. Mal. 1:10
For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 1:11
And you have profaned it in that you say: The table of the Lord is defiled: and that which is laid thereupon is contemptible with the fire that devoureth it. Mal. 1:12
And you have said: Behold of our labour, and you puffed it away, saith the Lord of hosts, and you brought in of rapine the lame, and the sick, and brought in an offering: shall I accept it at your hands, saith the Lord? Mal. 1:13
Cursed is the deceitful man that hath in his flock a male, and making a vow offereth in sacrifice that which is feeble to the Lord: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the Gentiles. Mal. 1:14
The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace, and in equity, and turned many away from iniquity. Mal. 2:6
Therefore have I also made you contemptible, and base before all people, as you have not kept my ways, and have accepted persons in the law. Mal. 2:9
Juda hath transgressed, and abomination hath been committed in Israel, and in Jerusalem: for Juda hath profaned the holiness of the Lord, which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. Mal. 2:11
You have wearied the Lord with your words, and you said: Wherein have we wearied him? In that you say: Every one that doth evil, is good in the sight of the Lord, and such please him: or surely where is the God of judgment? Mal. 2:17
And he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver, and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice. Mal. 3:3
And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years. Mal. 3:4
And I will come to you in judgment, and will be a speedy witness against sorcerers, and adulterers, and false swearers, and them that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widows, and the fatherless: and oppress the stranger, and have not feared me, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 3:5
Shall a man afflict God, for you afflict me. And you have said: Wherein do we afflict thee? in tithes and in firstfruits. Mal. 3:8
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and try me in this, saith the Lord: if I open not unto you the flood-gates of heaven, and pour you out a blessing even to abundance. Mal. 3:10
And I will rebuke for your sakes the devourer, and he shall not spoil the fruit of your land: neither shall the vine in the field be barren, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 3:11
And you have said: What have we spoken against thee? You have said: He laboureth in vain that serveth God, and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinances, and that we have walked sorrowful before the Lord of hosts? Mal. 3:14
And they shall be my special possession, saith the Lord of hosts, in the day that I do judgment: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his son that serveth him. Mal. 3:17
But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves of the herd. Mal. 4:2
And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 4:3
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments. Mal. 4:4
‡ ¤ Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius, king of the Persians and Medes: 1 Ma. 1:1
And his servants made themselves kings, every one in his place: 1 Ma. 1:9
And they all put crowns upon themselves after his death, and their sons after them, many years; and evils were multiplied in the earth. 1 Ma. 1:10
And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus the Illustrious, the son of king Antiochus, who had been a hostage at Rome: and he reigned in the hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks. 1 Ma. 1:11
In those days there went out of Israel wicked men, and they persuaded many, saying: Let us go and make a covenant with the heathens that are round about us: for since we departed from them, many evils have befallen us. 1 Ma. 1:12
And the word seemed good in their eyes. 1 Ma. 1:13
And they built a place of exercise in Jerusalem, according to the laws of the nations: 1 Ma. 1:15
And he took the strong cities in the land of Egypt: and he took the spoils of the land of Egypt. 1 Ma. 1:20
And after Antiochus had ravaged Egypt, in the hundred and forty-third year, he returned and went up against Israel. 1 Ma. 1:21
And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces. 1 Ma. 1:23
And there was great mourning in Israel, and in every place where they were: 1 Ma. 1:26
Every bridegroom took up lamentation: and the bride that sat in the marriage bed, mourned: 1 Ma. 1:28
And he spoke to them peaceable words in deceit; and they believed him. 1 Ma. 1:31
And he fell upon the city suddenly, and struck it with a great slaughter, and destroyed much people in Israel. 1 Ma. 1:32
And this was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil devil in Israel. 1 Ma. 1:38
And should forbid holocausts and sacrifices, and atonements to be made in the temple of God. 1 Ma. 1:47
Then many of the people were gathered to them that had forsaken the law of the Lord: and they committed evils in the land: 1 Ma. 1:55
On the fifteenth day of the month, Casleu, in the hundred and forty-fifth year, king Antiochus set up the abominable idol of desolation upon the altar of God, and they built altars throughout all the cities of Juda round about: 1 Ma. 1:57
And they burnt incense, and sacrificed at the doors of the houses and in the streets. 1 Ma. 1:58
And they cut in pieces, and burnt with fire the books of the law of God: 1 Ma. 1:59
Thus by their power did they deal with the people of Israel, that were found in the cities month after month. 1 Ma. 1:61
And they hanged the children about their necks in all their houses: and those that had circumcised them, they put to death. 1 Ma. 1:64
¤ In those days arose Mathathias, the son of John, the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and he abode in the mountain of Modin: 1 Ma. 2:1
These saw the evils that were done in the people of Juda, and in Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 2:6
The vessels of her glory are carried away captive; her old men are murdered in the streets, and her young men are fallen by the sword of the enemies. 1 Ma. 2:9
And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren. 1 Ma. 2:17
Therefore, come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents. 1 Ma. 2:18
Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment. 1 Ma. 2:23
And Mathathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: Every one that hath zeal for the law, and maintaineth the testament, let him follow me. 1 Ma. 2:27
So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city. 1 Ma. 2:28
And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them. 1 Ma. 2:31
Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully. 1 Ma. 2:37
And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places. 1 Ma. 2:41
And they gathered an army, and slew the sinners in their wrath, and the wicked men in their indignation: and the rest fled to the nations for safety. 1 Ma. 2:44
And they circumcised all the children whom they found in the confines of Israel that were uncircumcised: and they did valiantly. 1 Ma. 2:46
And they pursued after the children of pride, and the work prospered in their hands: 1 Ma. 2:47
And call to remembrance the works of the fathers, which they have done in their generations: and you shall receive great glory, and an everlasting name. 1 Ma. 2:51
Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was reputed to him unto justice? 1 Ma. 2:52
Joseph, in the time of his distress, kept the commandment, and he was made lord of Egypt. 1 Ma. 2:53
Phinees, our father, by being fervent in the zeal of God, received the covenant of an everlasting priesthood. 1 Ma. 2:54
Jesus, whilst he fulfilled the word, was made ruler in Israel. 1 Ma. 2:55
Daniel, in his innocency, was delivered out of the mouth of the lions. 1 Ma. 2:60
And thus consider, through all generations: that none that trust in him, fail in strength. 1 Ma. 2:61
You, therefore, my sons, take courage, and behave manfully in the law: for by it you shall be glorious. 1 Ma. 2:64
And he died in the hundred and forty-sixth year: and he was buried by his sons in the sepulchres of his fathers, in Modin, and all Israel mourned for him with great mourning. 1 Ma. 2:70
¤ Then his son Judas, called Machabeus, rose up in his stead. 1 Ma. 3:1
And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword. 1 Ma. 3:3
In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey. 1 Ma. 3:4
And his enemies were driven away for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled: and salvation prospered in his hand. 1 Ma. 3:6
And he said I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king. 1 Ma. 3:14
And Judas said: It is an easy matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few: and there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to deliver with a great multitude, or with a small company: 1 Ma. 3:18
For the success of war is not in the multitude of the army, but strength cometh from heaven. 1 Ma. 3:19
Now when king Antiochus heard these words, he was angry in his mind: and he sent, and gathered the forces of all his kingdom, an exceeding strong army. 1 Ma. 3:27
And he was greatly perplexed in mind, and purposed to go into Persia, and to take tributes of the countries, and to gather much money. 1 Ma. 3:31
And that he should settle strangers, to dwell in all their coasts, and divide their land by lot. 1 Ma. 3:36
So the king took the half of the army that remained, and went forth from Antioch, the chief city of his kingdom, in the hundred and forty-seventh year: and he passed over the river Euphrates, and went through the higher countries. 1 Ma. 3:37
So they went forth with all their power, and came, and pitched near Emmaus, in the plain country. 1 Ma. 3:40
And the merchants of the countries heard the fame of them: and they took silver and gold in abundance, and servants: and they came into the camp, to buy the children of Israel for slaves: and there were joined to them the forces of Syria, and of the land of the strangers. 1 Ma. 3:41
Now Jerusalem was not inhabited, but was like a desert: there was none of her children that went in or out: and the sanctuary was trodden down: and the children of strangers were in the castle, there was the habitation of the Gentiles: and joy was taken away from Jacob, and the pipe and harp ceased there. 1 Ma. 3:45
And they assembled together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem: for in Maspha was a place of prayer heretofore in Israel. 1 Ma. 3:46
And they laid open the books of the law, in which the Gentiles searched for the likeness of their idols: 1 Ma. 3:48
For thy holies are trodden down, and are profaned, and thy priests are in mourning, and are brought low. 1 Ma. 3:51
For it is better for us to die in battle, than to see the evils of our nation, and of the holies: 1 Ma. 3:59
Nevertheless, as it shall be the will of God in heaven, so be it done. 1 Ma. 3:60
And Judas heard of it, and rose up, he and the valiant men, to attack the king's forces that were in Emmaus. 1 Ma. 4:3
And Gorgias came by night into the camp of Judas, and found no man; and he sought them in the mountains: for he said: These men flee from us. 1 Ma. 4:5
And when it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men only, who neither had armour nor swords: 1 Ma. 4:6
And they saw the camp of the Gentiles that it was strong, and the men in breastplates, and the horsemen round about them, and these were trained up to war. 1 Ma. 4:7
Remember in what manner our fathers were saved in the Red Sea, when Pharao pursued them with a great army. 1 Ma. 4:9
And Gorgias and his army are near us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overthrow them, and you shall take the spoils afterwards with safety. 1 Ma. 4:18
And when they had seen this, they were seized with great fear, seeing at the same time Judas and his army in the plain ready to fight. 1 Ma. 4:21
And returning home, they sung a hymn, and blessed God in heaven, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. 1 Ma. 4:24
And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as the king had commanded. 1 Ma. 4:27
And they came into Judea, and pitched their tents in Bethoron, and Judas met them with ten thousand men. 1 Ma. 4:29
Shut up this army in the hands of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their host and their horsemen. 1 Ma. 4:31
And they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burnt, and shrubs growing up in the courts as in a forest, or on the mountains, and the chambers joining to the temple thrown down. 1 Ma. 4:38
Then Judas appointed men to fight against them that were in the castle, till they had cleansed the holy places, 1 Ma. 4:41
And they laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple, in a convenient place, till there should come a prophet, and give answer concerning them. 1 Ma. 4:46
And they made new holy vessels, and brought in the candlestick, and the altar of incense, and the table, into the temple. 1 Ma. 4:49
And they put incense upon the altar, and lighted up the lamps that were upon the candlestick, and they gave light in the temple. 1 Ma. 4:50
And they arose before the morning on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, (which is the month of Casleu) in the hundred and forty-eighth year. 1 Ma. 4:52
According to the time, and according to the day wherein the heathens had defiled it, in the same was it dedicated anew with canticles, and harps, and lutes, and cymbals. 1 Ma. 4:54
And Judas, and his brethren, and all the church of Israel decreed, that the day of the dedication of the altar should be kept in its season from year to year for eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, with joy and gladness. 1 Ma. 4:59
Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites round about, and he made a great slaughter of them. 1 Ma. 5:3
And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way. 1 Ma. 5:4
And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them. 1 Ma. 5:5
And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them: 1 Ma. 5:7
And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman. 1 Ma. 5:9
And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men. 1 Ma. 5:13
Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us. 1 Ma. 5:15
Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them. 1 Ma. 5:16
And Judas said to Simon, his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan, will go into the country of Galaad: 1 Ma. 5:17
And he left Joseph, the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the army in Judea, to keep it: 1 Ma. 5:18
And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis, with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy. 1 Ma. 5:23
And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad, 1 Ma. 5:25
And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim; all these strong and great cities. 1 Ma. 5:26
Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day. 1 Ma. 5:27
And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them. 1 Ma. 5:30
And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer. 1 Ma. 5:33
And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face and they made a great slaughter of them, and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men. 1 Ma. 5:34
And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim. 1 Ma. 5:43
And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda. 1 Ma. 5:45
And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city, situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it. 1 Ma. 5:46
And they that were in the city shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words, 1 Ma. 5:47
Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault, every man in the place where he was. 1 Ma. 5:49
And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain, till they had returned in peace. 1 Ma. 5:54
Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee, before Ptolemais, 1 Ma. 5:55
And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia. 1 Ma. 5:58
And the men of Juda were magnified exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and of all the nations where their name was heard. 1 Ma. 5:63
Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land towards the south, and he took Chebron and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof, and the towers all round it. 1 Ma. 5:65
In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight. 1 Ma. 5:67
¤ Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he heard that the city of Elymais in Persia, was greatly renowned, and abounding in silver and gold, 1 Ma. 6:1
And that there was in it a temple exceeding rich; and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which king Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian, that reigned first in Greece, had left there. 1 Ma. 6:2
So he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it; but he was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the city. 1 Ma. 6:3
And they rose up against him in battle, and he fled away from thence, and departed with great sadness, and returned towards Babylonia. 1 Ma. 6:4
And whilst he was in Persia there came one that told him how the armies that were in the land of Juda were put to flight: 1 Ma. 6:5
And that they had thrown down the abomination which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also, his city. 1 Ma. 6:7
And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power! 1 Ma. 6:11
But now I remember the evils that I did in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver, that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause. 1 Ma. 6:12
I know, therefore, that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land. 1 Ma. 6:13
So king Antiochus died there in the year one hundred and forty-nine. 1 Ma. 6:16
Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles. 1 Ma. 6:18
And they came together, and besieged them in the year one hundred and fifty, and they made battering slings and engines. 1 Ma. 6:20
And they distributed the beasts by the legions: and there stood by every elephant a thousand men in coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads: and five hundred horsemen set in order were chosen for every beast. 1 Ma. 6:35
And the rest of the horsemen he placed on this side and on that side, at the two wings, with trumpets to stir up the army, and to hasten them forward that stood thick together in the legions thereof. 1 Ma. 6:38
And he ran up to it boldly in the midst of the legion, killing on the right hand, and on the left, and they fell by him on this side and that side. 1 Ma. 6:45
And he made peace with them that were in Bethsura: and they came forth out of the city, because they had no victuals, being shut up there, for it was the year of rest to the land. 1 Ma. 6:49
But there were no victuals in the city, because it was the seventh year: and such as had stayed in Judea of them that came from among the nations, had eaten the residue of all that which had been stored up. 1 Ma. 6:53
And there remained in the holy places but a few, for the famine had prevailed over them: and they were dispersed every man to his own place. 1 Ma. 6:54
And the proposal was acceptable in the sight of the king, and of the princes: and he sent to them to make peace: and they accepted of it. 1 Ma. 6:60
And he departed in haste and returned to Antioch, where he found Philip master of the city: and he fought against him, and took the city. 1 Ma. 6:63
¤ In the hundred and fifty-first year, Demetrius, the son of Seleucus, departed from the city of Rome, and came up with a few men into a city of the sea coast, and reigned there. 1 Ma. 7:1
Now, therefore, send some men whom thou trustest, and let him go, and see all the havoc he hath made amongst us, and in the king's lands: and let him punish all his friends and their helpers. 1 Ma. 7:7
Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends, that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him, 1 Ma. 7:8
And they believed him. And he took threescore of them, and slew them in one day, according to the word that is written: 1 Ma. 7:16
And Bacchides removed the camp from Jerusalem, and pitched in Bethzecha: and he sent, and took many of them that were fled away from him, and some of the people he killed, and threw them into a great pit. 1 Ma. 7:19
And they that disturbed the people resorted to him, and they got the land of Juda into their power, and did much hurt in Israel. 1 Ma. 7:22
And swore in anger, saying: Unless Judas and his army be delivered into my hands, as soon as ever I return in peace, I will burn this house. And he went out in a great rage. 1 Ma. 7:35
And the priests went in, and stood before the face of the altar and the temple: and weeping, they said: 1 Ma. 7:36
But Judas pitched in Adarsa with three thousand men: and Judas prayed, and said: 1 Ma. 7:40
Even so destroy this army in our sight today and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness. 1 Ma. 7:42
And the armies joined battle on the thirteenth day of the month, Adar: and the army of Nicanor was defeated, and he himself was first slain in the battle. 1 Ma. 7:43
¤ Now Judas heard of the fame of the Romans, that they are powerful and strong, and willingly agree to all things that are requested of them: and that whosoever have come to them, they have made amity with them, and that they are mighty in power. 1 Ma. 8:1
And they heard of their battles, and their noble acts which they had done in Galatia, how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute: 1 Ma. 8:2
And how great things they had done in the land of Spain, and that they had brought under their power the mines of silver and of gold that are there, and had gotten possession of all the place by their counsel and patience: 1 Ma. 8:3
And that they had defeated in battle Philip and Perses the king of the Ceteans, and the rest that had borne arms against them, and had conquered them: 1 Ma. 8:5
And that they who were in Greece, had a mind to go and to destroy them: and they had knowledge thereof, 1 Ma. 8:9
And none of all these wore a crown, or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby. 1 Ma. 8:14
And that they had made themselves a senate house, and consulted daily three hundred and twenty men, that sat in council always for the people, that they might do the things that were right: 1 Ma. 8:15
And the proposal was pleasing in their sight. 1 Ma. 8:21
And this is the copy of the writing that they wrote back again, graven in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that it might be with them there for a memorial of the peace, and alliance. 1 Ma. 8:22
But if there come first any war upon the Romans, or any of their confederates, in all their dominions: 1 Ma. 8:24
In like manner also if war shall come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall permit them: 1 Ma. 8:27
¤ In the mean time, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them. 1 Ma. 9:1
And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people. 1 Ma. 9:2
In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem: 1 Ma. 9:3
Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him: 1 Ma. 9:5
And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers, went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour. 1 Ma. 9:11
And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets: 1 Ma. 9:12
And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back: 1 Ma. 9:16
And Jonathan and Simon took Judas, their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers, in the city of Modin. 1 Ma. 9:19
And it came to pass, after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up. 1 Ma. 9:23
In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides. 1 Ma. 9:24
And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel. 1 Ma. 9:27
Now, therefore, we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain, in his stead, to fight our battles. 1 Ma. 9:30
So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas, his brother 1 Ma. 9:31
And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils: 1 Ma. 9:40
And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars. 1 Ma. 9:50
And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel: 1 Ma. 9:51
And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals: 1 Ma. 9:52
And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody. 1 Ma. 9:53
Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to destroy. 1 Ma. 9:54
And Alcimus died at that time in great torment. 1 Ma. 9:56
And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease and without fear: now, therefore, let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night. 1 Ma. 9:58
And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them. 1 Ma. 9:60
And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it. 1 Ma. 9:62
But Jonathan left his brother, Simon, in the city and went forth into the country, and came with a number of men, 1 Ma. 9:65
And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron, in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces. 1 Ma. 9:66
And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain. 1 Ma. 9:68
So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel. 1 Ma. 9:73
¤ Now in the hundred and sixtieth year, Alexander, the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there. 1 Ma. 10:1
And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him. 1 Ma. 10:6
And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle. 1 Ma. 10:7
And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city. 1 Ma. 10:10
Then the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away. 1 Ma. 10:12
Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them. 1 Ma. 10:14
Now therefore, we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us. 1 Ma. 10:20
Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms. 1 Ma. 10:21
And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting. 1 Ma. 10:25
Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad. 1 Ma. 10:26
Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf. 1 Ma. 10:27
I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose, to keep it. 1 Ma. 10:32
And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes, even of their cattle. 1 Ma. 10:33
And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom: 1 Ma. 10:34
And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause. 1 Ma. 10:35
And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them, as is due to all the king's forces and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king: 1 Ma. 10:36
And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda. 1 Ma. 10:37
Ptolemais and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things. 1 Ma. 10:39
And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free. 1 Ma. 10:43
For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea. 1 Ma. 10:45
Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them, nor received them because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly. 1 Ma. 10:46
And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped. 1 Ma. 10:47
Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom and am set in the throne of my ancestors, and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius and possessed our country, 1 Ma. 10:52
And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom: 1 Ma. 10:53
Now, therefore, let us make friendship one with another: and give me now thy daughter to wife, and I will be thy son in law, and I will give both thee and her gifts worthy of thee. 1 Ma. 10:54
And king Ptolomee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom. 1 Ma. 10:55
So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais, in the hundred and sixty-second year. 1 Ma. 10:57
And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight. 1 Ma. 10:60
In the year one hundred and sixty-five, Demetrius, the son of Demetrius, came from Crete into the land of his fathers. 1 Ma. 10:67
Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains. 1 Ma. 10:70
Now, therefore, if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war. 1 Ma. 10:71
Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land: 1 Ma. 10:72
And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to? 1 Ma. 10:73
Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon, his brother, met him to help him. 1 Ma. 10:74
And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it. 1 Ma. 10:75
And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe. 1 Ma. 10:76
And he went to Azotus, as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle. 1 Ma. 10:78
And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them. 1 Ma. 10:79
And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood. And he gave him Accaron, and all the borders thereof, in possession. 1 Ma. 10:89
And he went out into Syria with peaceable words and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law. 1 Ma. 11:2
Now when Ptolemee entered into the cities, he put garrisons of soldiers in every city. 1 Ma. 11:3
And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt with fire, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof, that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, and the graves of them that were slain in the battle, which they had made near the way. 1 Ma. 11:4
And he sent ambassadors to Demetrius, saying: Come, let us make a league between us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in the kingdom of thy father. 1 Ma. 11:9
Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled. 1 Ma. 11:14
And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp. 1 Ma. 11:18
And Demetrius reigned in the hundred and sixty-seventh year. 1 Ma. 11:19
In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it. 1 Ma. 11:20
And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him. 1 Ma. 11:22
But when Jonathan heard this, he bade them besiege it still: and he chose some of the ancients of Israel, and of the priests, and put himself in danger 1 Ma. 11:23
And he took gold, and silver, and raiment, and many other presents, and went to the king to Ptolemais and he found favour in his sight. 1 Ma. 11:24
And the king treated him as his predecessors had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends. 1 Ma. 11:26
And he confirmed him in the high priesthood and all the honours he had before, and he made him the chief of his friends. 1 Ma. 11:27
We have ratified, therefore, unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees. 1 Ma. 11:34
Now, therefore, see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be given to Jonathan, and set upon the holy mountain, in a conspicuous place. 1 Ma. 11:37
And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days. 1 Ma. 11:40
And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel. 1 Ma. 11:41
And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king. 1 Ma. 11:48
And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying 1 Ma. 11:49
And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils. 1 Ma. 11:51
So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him. 1 Ma. 11:52
And young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan, saying: I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and I appoint thee ruler over the four cities, and to be one of the king's friends. 1 Ma. 11:57
And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle: 1 Ma. 11:58
And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils. 1 Ma. 11:61
And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom. 1 Ma. 11:63
And he went against them: but left his brother, Simon, in the country. 1 Ma. 11:64
And they desired him to make peace, and he granted it them: and he cast them out from thence, and took the city, and placed a garrison in it. 1 Ma. 11:66
And Jonathan and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor. 1 Ma. 11:67
And behold the army of the strangers met him in the plain, and they laid an ambush for him in the mountains: but he went out against them. 1 Ma. 11:68
And they that lay in ambush rose out of their places, and joined battle. 1 Ma. 11:69
And there fell of the aliens in that day three thousand men: and Jonathan returned to Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 11:74
And they gave them letters to their governors in every place, to conduct them into the land of Juda with peace. 1 Ma. 12:4
We, though we needed none of these things having for our comfort the holy books that are in our hands, 1 Ma. 12:9
We, therefore, at all times without ceasing, both in our festivals, and other days wherein it is convenient, remember you in the sacrifices that we offer, and in our observances, as it is meet and becoming to remember brethren. 1 Ma. 12:11
But we would not be troublesome to you, nor to the rest of our allies and friends, in these wars. 1 Ma. 12:14
It is found in writing concerning the Spartans, and the Jews, that they are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham. 1 Ma. 12:21
So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country. 1 Ma. 12:25
And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back, and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night. 1 Ma. 12:26
And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp. 1 Ma. 12:27
And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle: and they were struck with fear and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp. 1 Ma. 12:28
And Jonathan came back, and called together the ancients of the people; and he took a resolution with them to build fortresses in Judea, 1 Ma. 12:35
And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell. 1 Ma. 12:36
And Simon built Adiada in Sephela, and fortified it, and set up gates and bars. 1 Ma. 12:38
Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword. 1 Ma. 12:48
And seeing that the people was in dread and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people, 1 Ma. 13:2
And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren. 1 Ma. 13:5
And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan, thy brother: 1 Ma. 13:8
And he sent Jonathan, the son of Absalom, and with him a new army, into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there. 1 Ma. 13:11
And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody. 1 Ma. 13:12
But Simon pitched in Addus, over against the plain. 1 Ma. 13:13
And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother, Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him, 1 Ma. 13:14
Saying: We have detained thy brother, Jonathan, for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of. 1 Ma. 13:15
And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals. 1 Ma. 13:21
And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan, his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers. 1 Ma. 13:25
This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin, even unto this day. 1 Ma. 13:30
And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land. 1 Ma. 13:32
And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses. 1 Ma. 13:33
And king Demetrius, in answer to this request, wrote a letter in this manner: 1 Ma. 13:35
For all that we have decreed in your favour shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own. 1 Ma. 13:38
And as for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it: and the crown which you owed: and if any other thing were taxed in Jerusalem, now let it not be taxed. 1 Ma. 13:39
In the year one hundred and seventy, the yoke of the Gentiles was taken off from Israel. 1 Ma. 13:41
And the people of Israel began to write in the instruments, and public records, The first year under Simon, the high priest, the great captain, and prince of the Jews. 1 Ma. 13:42
In those days Simon besieged Gaza, and camped round about it, and he made engines, and set them to the city, and he struck one tower, and took it. 1 Ma. 13:43
And they that were within the engine leapt into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city. 1 Ma. 13:44
And they that were in the city went up, with their wives and children, upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace. 1 Ma. 13:45
And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation. 1 Ma. 13:48
But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine. 1 Ma. 13:49
And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel. 1 Ma. 13:51
And Simon saw that John, his son, was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara. 1 Ma. 13:54
¤ In the year one hundred and seventy-two king Demetrius assembled his army, and went into Media to get him succours to fight against Tryphon. 1 Ma. 14:1
The ancient men sat all in the streets, and treated together of the good things of the land, and the young men put on them glory, and the robes of war. 1 Ma. 14:9
He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy. 1 Ma. 14:11
There was none left in the land to fight against them: kings were discomfited in those days. 1 Ma. 14:13
But when they heard that Simon, his brother, was made high priest in his place, and was possessed of all the country, and the cities therein: 1 Ma. 14:17
They wrote to him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and alliance which they had made with Judas and with Jonathan, his brethren. 1 Ma. 14:18
And they were read before the assembly in Jerusalem. And this is the copy of the letters that the Spartans sent. 1 Ma. 14:19
And we registered what was said by them in the councils of the people, in this manner: Numenius, the son of Antiochus, and Antipater, the son of Jason, ambassadors of the Jews, came to us to renew the former friendship with us. 1 Ma. 14:22
And it pleased the people to receive the men honourably, and to put a copy of their words in the public records, to be a memorial to the people of the Spartans. And we have written a copy of them to Simon, the high priest. 1 Ma. 14:23
For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion. 1 Ma. 14:26
And this is a copy of the writing. The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the year one hundred and seventy-two, being the third year under Simon, the high priest, at Asaramel, 1 Ma. 14:27
In a great assembly of the priests, and of the people, and the princes of the nation, and the ancients of the country, these things were notified: Forasmuch as there have often been wars in our country, 1 Ma. 14:28
And Simon, the son of Mathathias, of the children of Jarib, and his brethren, have put themselves in danger, and have resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory. 1 Ma. 14:29
And he fortified the cities of Judea and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews. 1 Ma. 14:33
And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David, in Jerusalem, in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity. 1 Ma. 14:36
And king Demetrius confirmed him in the high priesthood. 1 Ma. 14:38
And that he should have care of the holy places; and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name; and that he should be clothed with purple and gold: 1 Ma. 14:43
And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold. 1 Ma. 14:44
And they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary, in a conspicuous place: 1 Ma. 14:48
And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon, and his sons, may have it. 1 Ma. 14:49
And I design to go through the country, that I may take revenge of them that have destroyed our country, and that have made many cities desolate in my realm. 1 Ma. 15:4
And I give thee leave to coin thy own money in thy country: 1 Ma. 15:6
And let Jerusalem be holy and free, and all the armour that hath been made, and the fortresses which thou hast built, and which thou keepest in thy hands, let them remain to thee. 1 Ma. 15:7
And when we shall have recovered our kingdom, we will glorify thee, and thy nation, and the temple, with great glory, so that your glory shall be made manifest in all the earth. 1 Ma. 15:9
In the year one hundred and seventy-four, Antiochus entered into the land of his fathers, and all the forces assembled to him, so that few were left with Tryphon. 1 Ma. 15:10
And he invested the city, and the ships drew near by sea: and they annoyed the city by land, and by sea, and suffered none to come in, or to go out. 1 Ma. 15:14
And he sent to him Athenobius, one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom: 1 Ma. 15:28
Their borders you have wasted, and you have made great havoc in the land, and have got the dominion of many places in my kingdom. 1 Ma. 15:29
So Athenobius, the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words. 1 Ma. 15:32
But returning in a rage to the king, made report to him of these words, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen, and the king was exceeding angry. 1 Ma. 15:36
And Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said to them: I and my brethren, and my father's house, have fought against the enemies of Israel from our youth even to this day: and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. 1 Ma. 16:2
Then he chose out of the country twenty thousand fighting men, and horsemen, and they went forth against Cendebeus: and they rested in Modin. 1 Ma. 16:4
And they arose in the morning, and went into the plain: and behold a very great army of footmen and horsemen came against them, and there was a running river between them. 1 Ma. 16:5
And he divided the people, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: but the horsemen of the enemies were very numerous. 1 Ma. 16:7
And they fled even to the towers that were in the fields of Azotus, and he burnt them with fire. And there fell of them two thousand men, and he returned into Judea in peace. 1 Ma. 16:10
Now Ptolemee, the son of Abobus, was appointed captain in the plain of Jericho, and he had abundance of silver and gold. 1 Ma. 16:11
For he was son in law of the high priest. 1 Ma. 16:12
Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas, his sons, in the year one hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month Sabath. 1 Ma. 16:14
And he committed a great treachery in Israel, and rendered evil for good. 1 Ma. 16:17
Now one running before, told John in Gazara, that his father and his brethren were slain, and that he hath sent men to kill thee also. 1 Ma. 16:21
Behold, these are written in the book of the days of his priesthood, from the time that he was made high priest after his father. 1 Ma. 16:24
‡ ¤ To the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt; the brethren, the Jews that are in Jerusalem, and in the land of Judea, send health and good peace. 2 Ma. 1:1
May he open your heart in his law, and in his commandments, and send you peace. 2 Ma. 1:4
May he hear your prayers, and be reconciled unto you, and never forsake you in the evil time. 2 Ma. 1:5
When Demetrius reigned, in the year one hundred and sixty-nine, we Jews wrote to you in the trouble and violence that came upon us in those years, after Jason withdrew himself from the holy land, and from the kingdom. 2 Ma. 1:7
And now celebrate ye the days of Scenopegia in the month of Casleu. 2 Ma. 1:9
In the year one hundred and eighty-eight, the people that is at Jerusalem, and in Judea, and the senate, and Judas, to Aristobolus, the preceptor of king Ptolemee, who is of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that are in Egypt, health and welfare. 2 Ma. 1:10
Having been delivered by God out of great dangers, we give him great thanks, forasmuch as we have been in war with such a king. 2 Ma. 1:11
For when the leader himself was in Persia, and with him a very great army, he fell in the temple of Nanea, being deceived by the counsel of the priests of Nanea. 2 Ma. 1:13
When Antiochus was come in: and opening a secret entrance of the temple, they cast stones and slew the leader, and them that were with him, and hewed them in pieces; and cutting off their heads, they threw them forth. 2 Ma. 1:16
Blessed be God in all things, who hath delivered up the wicked. 2 Ma. 1:17
For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God, took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men. 2 Ma. 1:19
And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered. 2 Ma. 1:22
Establish thy people in thy holy place, as Moses hath spoken. 2 Ma. 1:29
And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which Nehemias and they that were with him had purified the sacrifices. 2 Ma. 1:33
¤ Now it is found in the descriptions of Jeremias, the prophet, that he commanded them that went into captivity, to take the fire, as it hath been signified, and how he gave charge to them that were carried away into captivity. 2 Ma. 2:1
And how he gave them the law, that they should not forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, seeing the idols of gold, and silver, and the ornaments of them. 2 Ma. 2:2
It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God. 2 Ma. 2:4
And when Jeremias came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door. 2 Ma. 2:5
For he treated wisdom in a magnificent manner: and like a wise man, he offered the sacrifice of the dedication, and of the finishing of the temple. 2 Ma. 2:9
And these same things were set down in the memoirs, and commentaries of Nehemias: and how he made a library, and gathered together out of the countries, the books both of the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings, and concerning the holy gifts. 2 Ma. 2:13
And in like manner Judas also gathered together all such things as were lost by the war we had, and they are in our possession. 2 Ma. 2:14
As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and will gather us together from every land under heaven into the holy place. 2 Ma. 2:18
And recovered again the most renowned temple in all the world, and delivered the city, and restored the laws that were abolished, the Lord with all clemency shewing mercy to them. 2 Ma. 2:23
And all such things as have been comprised in five books by Jason, of Cyrene, we have attempted to abridge in one book. 2 Ma. 2:24
And as to ourselves indeed, in undertaking this work of abridging, we have taken in hand no easy task; yea, rather a business full of watching and sweat. 2 Ma. 2:27
For to collect all that is to be known, to put the discourse in order, and curiously to discuss every particular point, is the duty of the author of a history: 2 Ma. 2:31
Here then we will begin the narration: let this be enough by way of a preface: for it is a foolish thing to make a long prologue, and to be short in the story itself. 2 Ma. 2:33
But one Simon, of the tribe of Benjamin, who was appointed overseer of the temple, strove in opposition to the high priest, to bring about some unjust thing in the city. 2 Ma. 3:4
And told him, that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of immense sums of money, and the common store was infinite, which did not belong to the account of the sacrifices: and that it was possible to bring all into the king's hands. 2 Ma. 3:6
And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received in the city by the high priest, he told him what information had been given concerning the money: and declared the cause for which he was come: and asked if these things were so indeed. 2 Ma. 3:9
So on the day he had appointed, Heliodorus entered in to order this matter. But there was no small terror throughout the whole city. 2 Ma. 3:14
And the priests prostrated themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, and called upon him from heaven, who made the law concerning things given to be kept, that he would preserve them safe, for them that had deposited them. 2 Ma. 3:15
Now whosoever saw the countenance of the high priest, was wounded in heart: for his face, and the changing of his colour, declared the inward sorrow of his mind. 2 Ma. 3:16
For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart. 2 Ma. 3:17
And the women, girded with haircloth about their breasts, came together in the streets. And the virgins also that were shut up, came forth, some to Onias, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows. 2 Ma. 3:19
For the expectation of the mixed multitude, and of the high priest, who was in an agony, would have moved any one to pity. 2 Ma. 3:21
But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury. 2 Ma. 3:23
Moreover there appeared two other young men, beautiful and strong, bright and glorious, and in comely apparel: who stood by him, on either side, and scourged him without ceasing with many stripes. 2 Ma. 3:26
And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life. 2 Ma. 3:33
If thou hast any enemy, or traitor to thy king dom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God. 2 Ma. 3:38
For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it. 2 Ma. 3:39
And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out in this manner. 2 Ma. 3:40
For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly. 2 Ma. 4:6
And abolishing those things, which had been decreed of special favour by the kings in behalf of the Jews, by the means of John, the father of that Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome to make amity and alliance, he disannulled the lawful ordinances of the citizens, and brought in fashions that were perverse. 2 Ma. 4:11
For he had the boldness to set up, under the very castle, a place of exercise, and to put all the choicest youths in brothel houses. 2 Ma. 4:12
For the sake of which they incurred a dangerous contention, and followed earnestly their ordinances, and in all things they coveted to be like them, who were their enemies and murderers. 2 Ma. 4:16
Where he was received in a magnificent manner by Jason, and the city, and came in with torch lights, and with praises, and from thence he returned with his army into Phenicia. 2 Ma. 4:22
When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus, and Mallos, raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochus, the king's concubine. 2 Ma. 4:30
The king, therefore, went in all haste to appease them, leaving Andronicus, one of his nobles, for his deputy. 2 Ma. 4:31
Then Menelaus supposing that he had found a convenient time, having stolen certain vessels of gold out of the temple, gave them to Andronicus, and others he had sold at Tyre, and in the neighbouring cities: 2 Ma. 4:32
Which when Onias understood most certainly, he reproved him, keeping himself in a safe place at Antioch, beside Daphne. 2 Ma. 4:33
Antiochus, therefore, was grieved in his mind for Onias, and being moved to pity, shed tears, remembering the sobriety and modesty of the deceased. 2 Ma. 4:37
And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment. 2 Ma. 4:38
Now when many sacrileges had been committed by Lysimachus in the temple, by the counsel of Menelaus, and the rumour of it was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, a great quantity of gold being already carried away. 2 Ma. 4:39
Wherefore the multitude making an insurrection, and their minds being filled with anger, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began to use violence, one Tyrannus being captain, a man far gone both in age and in madness. 2 Ma. 4:40
So Ptolemee went to the king in a certain court where he was, as it were to cool himself, and brought him to be of another mind: 2 Ma. 4:46
And so through the covetousness of them that were in power, Menelaus continued in authority, increasing in malice to the betraying of the citizens. 2 Ma. 4:50
And it came to pass, that through the whole city of Jerusalem, for the space of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in gilded raiment, and armed with spears, like bands of soldiers. 2 Ma. 5:2
And horses set in order by ranks, running one against another, with the shakings of shields, and a multitude of men in helmets, with drawn swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden armour, and of harnesses of all sorts. 2 Ma. 5:3
At the last, having been shut up by Aretas, the king of the Arabians, in order for his destruction, flying from city to city, hated by all men, as a forsaker of the laws and execrable, as an enemy of his country and countrymen, he was thrust out into Egypt: 2 Ma. 5:8
And he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, going to Lacedemon, as if for kindred sake he should have refuge there: 2 Ma. 5:9
And commanded the soldiers to kill, and not to spare any that came in their way, and to go up into the houses to slay. 2 Ma. 5:12
And there were slain in the space of three whole days fourscore thousand, forty thousand were made prisoners, and as many sold. 2 Ma. 5:14
But this was not enough, he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide. 2 Ma. 5:15
And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them. 2 Ma. 5:16
Thus Antiochus going astray in mind, did not consider that God was angry for a while, because of the sins of the inhabitants of the city: and therefore this contempt had happened to the place: 2 Ma. 5:17
Otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob the treasury, so this man also, as soon as he had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption. 2 Ma. 5:18
And, therefore, the place also itself was made partaker of the evils of the people: but afterwards shall communicate in the good things thereof, and as it was forsaken in the wrath of Almighty God, shall be exalted again with great glory, when the great Lord shall be reconciled. 2 Ma. 5:20
So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind. 2 Ma. 5:21
He left also governors to afflict the people: at Jerusalem, Philip, a Phrygian by birth, but in manners more barbarous than he that set him there: 2 Ma. 5:22
And in Gazarim, Andronicus and Menelaus, who bore a more heavy hand upon the citizens than the rest. 2 Ma. 5:23
But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution. 2 Ma. 5:27
And to defile the temple that was in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius: and that in Garazim of Jupiter Hospitalis, according as they were that inhabited the place. 2 Ma. 6:2
For the temple was full of the riot and revellings of the Gentiles: and of men lying with lewd women. And women thrust themselves of their accord into the holy places, and brought in things that were not lawful. 2 Ma. 6:4
But they were led by bitter constraint on the king's birthday to the sacrifices: and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, they were compelled to go about crowned with ivy in honour of Bacchus. 2 Ma. 6:7
And there went out a decree into the neighbouring cities of the Gentiles, by the suggestion of the Ptolemeans, that they also should act in like manner against the Jews, to oblige them to sacrifice: 2 Ma. 6:8
And others that had met together in caves that were near, and were keeping the sabbath day privately, being discovered by Philip, were burnt with fire, because they made a conscience to help themselves with their hands, by reason of the religious observance of the day. 2 Ma. 6:11
For it is a token of great goodness, when sinners are not suffered to go on in their ways for a long time, but are presently punished. 2 Ma. 6:13
For, not as with other nations, (whom the Lord patiently expecteth, that when the day of judgment shall come, he may punish them in the fulness of their sins:) 2 Ma. 6:14
But let this suffice in a few words for a warning to the readers. And now we must come to the narration. 2 Ma. 6:17
Eleazar one of the chief of the scribes, a man advanced in years, and of a comely countenance, was pressed to open his mouth to eat swine's flesh. 2 Ma. 6:18
And considering in what manner he was to come to it, patiently bearing, he determined not to do any unlawful things for the love of life. 2 Ma. 6:20
But when he was now ready to die with the stripes, he groaned: and said: O Lord, who hast the holy knowledge, thou knowest manifestly that whereas I might be delivered from death, I suffer grievous pains in body: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear thee. 2 Ma. 6:30
And when he was now maimed in all parts, he commanded him, being yet alive, to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the fryingpan: and while he was suffering therein long torments, the rest, together with the mother, exhorted one another to die manfully, 2 Ma. 7:5
Saying: The Lord God will look upon the truth, and will take pleasure in us, as Moses declared in the profession of the canticle; And in his servants he will take pleasure. 2 Ma. 7:6
So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the next to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him if he would eat, before he were punished throughout the whole body in every limb. 2 Ma. 7:7
But he answered in his own language, and said: I will not do it. Wherefore he also, in the next place, received the torments of the first: 2 Ma. 7:8
And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life. 2 Ma. 7:9
And after he was thus dead, they tormented the fourth in the like manner. 2 Ma. 7:13
But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed. 2 Ma. 7:17
Now the mother was to be admired above measure, and worthy to be remembered by good men, who beheld her seven sons slain in the space of one day, and bore it with a good courage, for the hope that she had in God: 2 Ma. 7:20
And she bravely exhorted every one of them in her own language, being filled with wisdom; and joining a man's heart to a woman's thought, 2 Ma. 7:21
She said to them: I know not how you were formed in my womb; for I neither gave you breath, nor soul, nor life, neither did I frame the limbs of every one of you. 2 Ma. 7:22
But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again, in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws. 2 Ma. 7:23
So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said in her own language: My son have pity upon me, that bore thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age. 2 Ma. 7:27
I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them, and consider that God made them out of nothing, and mankind also: 2 Ma. 7:28
So thou shalt not fear this tormentor, but being made a worthy partner with thy brethren, receive death, that in that mercy I may receive thee again with thy brethren. 2 Ma. 7:29
But in me, and in my brethren, the wrath of the Almighty, which hath justly been brought upon all our nation, shall cease. 2 Ma. 7:38
So this man also died undefiled, wholly trusting in the Lord. 2 Ma. 7:40
¤ But Judas Machabeus, and they that were with him, went privately into the towns: and calling together their kinsmen and friends, and taking unto them such as continued in the Jews' religion, they assembled six thousand men. 2 Ma. 8:1
And especially in the nights he went upon these expeditions, and the fame of his valour was spread abroad every where. 2 Ma. 8:7
And he with all speed sent Nicanor, the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, giving him no fewer than twenty thousand armed men of different nations, to root out the whole race of the Jews, joining also with him Gorgias, a good soldier, and of great experience in matters of war. 2 Ma. 8:9
For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world. 2 Ma. 8:18
Moreover, he put them in mind also of the helps their fathers had received from God: and how, under Sennacherib, a hundred and eighty-five thousand had been destroyed. 2 Ma. 8:19
And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians, in Babylonia; how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and the Macedonians, their companions, were at a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours. 2 Ma. 8:20
And when they had carefully gathered together their arms, they laid them all up in convenient places, and the residue of their spoils they carried to Jerusalem: 2 Ma. 8:31
And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties: 2 Ma. 8:33
And swelling with anger, he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. 2 Ma. 9:4
But the Lord, the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts. 2 Ma. 9:5
Moreover, being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence, that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body. 2 Ma. 9:7
Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself: 2 Ma. 9:8
So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army. 2 Ma. 9:9
And the city, to which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common burying place, he now desireth to make free: 2 Ma. 9:14
But his pains not ceasing, (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life, he wrote to the Jews, in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words: 2 Ma. 9:18
To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or any bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled. 2 Ma. 9:24
Thus the murderer and blasphemer being grievously struck, as himself had treated others, died a miserable death in a strange country, among the mountains. 2 Ma. 9:28
But he threw down the altars which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols. 2 Ma. 10:2
And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts. 2 Ma. 10:6
Therefore they now carried boughs and green branches and palms, for him that had given them good success in cleansing his place. 2 Ma. 10:7
But now we will repeat the acts of Eupator, the son of that wicked Antiochus, abridging the account of the evils that happened in the wars. 2 Ma. 10:10
And assaulting them with great force, won the holds, killed them that came in the way, and slew altogether no fewer than twenty thousand. 2 Ma. 10:17
Machabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zacheus, and them that were with them, in sufficient number to besiege them, and departed to those expeditions which urged more. 2 Ma. 10:19
Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape. 2 Ma. 10:20
And having good success in arms, and in all things he took in hand, he slew more than twenty thousand in the two holds. 2 Ma. 10:23
But as soon as the sun was risen both sides joined battle: the one part having, with their valour, the Lord for a surety of victory, and success: but the other side making their rage their leader in battle. 2 Ma. 10:28
But when they were in the heat of the engagement, there appeared to the enemies from heaven five men upon horses, comely, with golden bridles, conducting the Jews: 2 Ma. 10:29
But when the fifth day appeared, twenty young men of them that were with Machabeus, inflamed in their minds, because of the blasphemy, approached manfully to the wall, and pushing forward with fierce courage, got up upon it: 2 Ma. 10:35
And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes. 2 Ma. 10:37
And when this was done, they blessed the Lord with hymns and thanksgiving, who had done great things in Israel, and given them the victory. 2 Ma. 10:38
Never considering the power of God, but puffed up in mind, and trusting in the multitude of his foot soldiers, and the thousands of his horsemen, and his fourscore elephants. 2 Ma. 11:4
So he came into Judea, and approaching to Bethsura, which was in a narrow place, the space of five furlongs from Jerusalem, he laid siege to that fortress. 2 Ma. 11:5
And when they were going forth together with a willing mind, there appeared at Jerusalem a horseman going before them in white clothing, with golden armour, shaking a spear. 2 Ma. 11:8
Then Machabeus consented to the request of Lysias, providing for the common good in all things; and whatsoever Machabeus wrote to Lysias, concerning the Jews, the king allowed of. 2 Ma. 11:15
If, therefore, you will keep yourselves loyal in affairs, hereafter also I will endeavour to be a means of your good. 2 Ma. 11:19
Fare ye well. In the year one hundred and forty-eight, the four and twentieth day of the month of Dioscorus. 2 Ma. 11:21
Our father being translated amongst the gods we are desirous that they that are in our realm should live quietly, and apply themselves diligently to their own concerns. 2 Ma. 11:23
But the king's letter to the Jews was in this manner: King Antiochus to the senate of the Jews, and to the rest of the Jews, greeting. 2 Ma. 11:27
Fare ye well. In the year one hundred and forty-eight, the fifteenth day of the month of Xanthicus. 2 Ma. 11:33
Fare ye well. In the year one hundred and forty-eight, the fifteenth day of the month of Xanthicus. 2 Ma. 11:38
But they that were behind, namely Timotheus, and Apollonius, the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and besides them Nicanor, the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to live in peace, and to be quiet. 2 Ma. 12:2
He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire. 2 Ma. 12:6
And when he had done these things in this manner, he departed as if he would return again, and root out all the Joppites. 2 Ma. 12:7
But when he understood that the men of Jamnia also designed to do in like manner to the Jews that dwelt among them, 2 Ma. 12:8
And after a hard fight, in which, by the help of God, they got the victory, the rest of the Arabians being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising to give him pastures, and to assist him in other things. 2 Ma. 12:11
And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents. 2 Ma. 12:12
But they that were within it, trusting in the strength of the walls, and the provision of victuals, behaved in a more negligent manner, and provoked Judas with railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken. 2 Ma. 12:14
But Machabeus calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without any rams or engines of war threw down the walls of Jericho, in the time of Josue, fiercely assaulted the walls. 2 Ma. 12:15
But as for Timotheus, they found him not in those places, for before he had dispatched any thing he went back, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold: 2 Ma. 12:18
But Dositheus, and Sosipater, who were captains with Machabeus, slew them that were left by Timotheus in the hold, to the number of ten thousand men. 2 Ma. 12:19
And Machabeus having set in order about him six thousand men, and divided them by bands, went forth against Timotheus, who had with him a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two thousand five hundred horsemen. 2 Ma. 12:20
But when the first band of Judas came in sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God, who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another, so that they were often thrown down by their own companions, and wounded with the strokes of their own swords. 2 Ma. 12:22
And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls, made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts. 2 Ma. 12:27
But the Jews that were among the Scythopolitans testifying that they were used kindly by them, and that even in the times of their adversity they had treated them with humanity: 2 Ma. 12:30
Then beginning in his own language, and singing hymns with a loud voice, he put Gorgias' soldiers to flight. 2 Ma. 12:37
So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the same place. 2 Ma. 12:38
And the day following Judas came with his company, to take away the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen, in the sepulchres of their fathers. 2 Ma. 12:39
¤ In the year one hundred and forty-nine, Judas understood that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a multitude against Judea, 2 Ma. 13:1
Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler. 2 Ma. 13:3
But the King of kings stirred up the mind of Antiochus against the sinner, and upon Lysias suggesting that he was the cause of all the evils, he commanded (as the custom is with them) that he should be apprehended and put to death in the same place. 2 Ma. 13:4
Now there was in that place a tower fifty cubits high, having a heap of ashes on every side: this had a prospect steep down. 2 Ma. 13:5
And by such a law it happened that Menelaus the transgressor of the law, was put to death: not having so much as burial in the earth. 2 Ma. 13:7
And indeed very justly, for insomuch as he had committed many sins against the altar of God, the fire and ashes of which were holy: he was condemned to die in ashes. 2 Ma. 13:8
Because they were afraid to be deprived of the law, and of their country, and of the holy temple: and that he would not suffer the people, that had of late taken breath for a little while, to be again in subjection to blasphemous nations. 2 Ma. 13:11
And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him, 2 Ma. 13:15
But Rhodocus, one of the Jews' army, disclosed the secrets to the enemies, so he was sought out, and taken up, and put in prison. 2 Ma. 13:21
Again the king treated with them that were in Bethsura: gave his right hand: took theirs: and went away. 2 Ma. 13:22
He fought with Judas: and was overcome. And when he understood that Philip, who had been left over the affairs, had rebelled at Antioch, he was in a consternation of mind, and entreating the Jews, and yielding to them, he swore to all things that seemed reasonable, and, being reconciled, offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and left gifts. 2 Ma. 13:23
Now one Alcimus, who had been chief priest, but had wilfully defiled himself in the time of mingling with the heathens, seeing that there was no safety for him, nor access to the altar, 2 Ma. 14:3
Came to king Demetrius in the year one hundred and fifty, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and besides these, some boughs that seemed to belong to the temple. And that day indeed he held his peace. 2 Ma. 14:4
He answered thereunto: They among the Jews that are called Assideans, of whom Judas Machabeus is captain, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not suffer the realm to be in peace. 2 Ma. 14:6
Principally indeed out of fidelity to the king's interests, but in the next place also to provide for the good of my countrymen: for all our nation suffereth much from the evil proceedings of these men. 2 Ma. 14:8
Giving him in charge, to take Judas himself: and disperse all them that were with him, and to make Alcimus the high priest of the great temple. 2 Ma. 14:13
But Judas ordered armed men to be ready in convenient places, lest some mischief might be suddenly practised by the enemies: so they made an agreeable conference. 2 Ma. 14:22
And Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no wrong, but sent away the flocks of the multitudes that had been gathered together. 2 Ma. 14:23
And he desired him to marry a wife, and to have children. So he married: he lived quietly, and they lived in common. 2 Ma. 14:25
Then the king, being in a rage, and provoked with this man's wicked accusation, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch. 2 Ma. 14:27
When this was known, Nicanor was in a consternation, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles that were agreed upon, having received no injury from the man. 2 Ma. 14:28
But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner; and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor. 2 Ma. 14:30
And when he had spoken thus, he departed. But the priests stretching forth their hands to heaven, called upon him that was ever the defender of their nation, saying in this manner: 2 Ma. 14:34
This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein. 2 Ma. 14:38
And as he had yet breath in him, being inflamed in mind, he arose: and while his blood ran down with a great stream, and he was grievously wounded, he ran through the crowd: 2 Ma. 14:45
¤ But when Nicanor understood that Judas was in the places of Samaria, he purposed to set upon him with all violence, on the sabbath day. 2 Ma. 15:1
That unhappy man asked, if there were a mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept. 2 Ma. 15:3
And when they answered: There is the living Lord himself in heaven, the mighty One, that commanded the seventh day to be kept. 2 Ma. 15:4
And speaking to them out of the law, and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles they had fought before, he made them more cheerful: 2 Ma. 15:9
Now the vision was in this manner. Onias, who had been high priest, a good and virtuous man, modest in his looks, gentle in his manners, and graceful in speech, and who from a child was exercised in virtues holding up his hands, prayed for all the people of the Jews: 2 Ma. 15:12
Thus being exhorted with the words of Judas, which were very good, and proper to stir up the courage, and strengthen the hearts of the young men, they resolved to fight, and to set upon them manfully: that valour might decide the matter, because the holy city, and the temple were in danger. 2 Ma. 15:17
And they also that were in the city, had no little concern for them that were to be engaged in battle. 2 Ma. 15:19
And now when all expected what judgment would be given, and the enemies were at hand, and the army was set in array, the beasts and the horsemen ranged in convenient places, 2 Ma. 15:20
And in his prayer he said after this manner: Thou, O Lord, who didst send thy angel in the time of Ezechias, king of Juda, and didst kill a hundred and eighty-five thousand of the army of Sennacherib: 2 Ma. 15:22
And when the battle was over, and they were returning with joy, they understood that Nicanor was slain in his armour. 2 Ma. 15:28
Then making a shout, and a great noise, they blessed the Almighty Lord in their own language. 2 Ma. 15:29
And Judas, who was altogether ready, in body and mind, to die for his countrymen, commanded that Nicanor's head, and his hand, with the shoulder, should be cut off, and carried to Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 15:30
And when he was come thither, having called together his countrymen, and the priests to the altar, he sent also for them that were in the castle, 2 Ma. 15:31
And he hung up Nicanor's head in the top of the castle, that it might be an evident and manifest sign of the help of God. 2 Ma. 15:35
But to celebrate the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, called in the Syrian language, the day before Mardochias' day. 2 Ma. 15:37
And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon. Mt. 1:11
Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:18
But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:20
¤ When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, Mt. 2:1
Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him. Mt. 2:2
But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet: Mt. 2:5
Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the East, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was. Mt. 2:9
And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country. Mt. 2:12
And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. Mt. 2:13
Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the menchildren that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Mt. 2:16
A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Mt. 2:18
But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt, Mt. 2:19
But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee. Mt. 2:22
And coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was said by the prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene. Mt. 2:23
¤ And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea. Mt. 3:1
For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Mt. 3:3
And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. Mt. 3:6
I indeed baptize you in water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire. Mt. 3:11
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. Mt. 3:12
And behold a voice from heaven saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mt. 3:17
Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. Mt. 4:4
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4:6
And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and of Nephthalim; Mt. 4:13
The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up. Mt. 4:16
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them. Mt. 4:21
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people. Mt. 4:23
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:3
Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. Mt. 5:12
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. Mt. 5:15
So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Mt. 5:16
He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:19
You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment. Mt. 5:21
But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Mt. 5:22
Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Mt. 5:25
But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. Mt. 5:28
And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him. Mt. 5:40
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. Mt. 5:45
¤ Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven. Mt. 6:1
Therefore when thou dost an alms-deed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. Mt. 6:2
That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee. Mt. 6:4
And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. Mt. 6:5
But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret, and thy father who seeth in secret will repay thee. Mt. 6:6
And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard. Mt. 6:7
Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Mt. 6:9
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Mt. 6:10
That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee. Mt. 6:18
But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal. Mt. 6:20
But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be! Mt. 6:23
But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Mt. 6:29
And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Mt. 7:3
Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? Mt. 7:4
If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him? Mt. 7:11
Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. Mt. 7:13
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mt. 7:15
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 7:21
Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? Mt. 7:22
And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. Mt. 7:28
And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him. Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel. Mt. 8:10
And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven: Mt. 8:11
And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. Mt. 8:24
And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters. Mt. 8:32
And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee. Mt. 9:2
And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts? Mt. 9:4
And when Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he arose up and followed him. Mt. 9:9
And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. Mt. 9:10
But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill. Mt. 9:12
And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose. Mt. 9:25
But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country. Mt. 9:31
And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel. Mt. 9:33
And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity. Mt. 9:35
Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses: Mt. 10:9
And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence. Mt. 10:11
Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Mt. 10:15
Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. Mt. 10:16
But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. Mt. 10:17
But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak: Mt. 10:19
For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. Mt. 10:20
And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come. Mt. 10:23
That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops. Mt. 10:27
And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. Mt. 10:28
Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 10:32
But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 10:33
For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Mt. 10:35
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. Mt. 10:41
And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you he shall not lose his reward. Mt. 10:42
¤ And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and to preach in their cities. Mt. 11:1
Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him: Mt. 11:2
And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me. Mt. 11:6
But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings. Mt. 11:8
Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Mt. 11:11
But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place. Mt. 11:16
Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes. Mt. 11:21
But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. Mt. 11:22
And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. Mt. 11:23
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee. Mt. 11:24
Yea, Father: for so hath it seemed good in thy sight. Mt. 11:26
Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame? Mt. 12:5
Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. Mt. 12:18
He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. Mt. 12:19
And in his name the Gentiles shall hope. Mt. 12:21
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him neither in this world, nor in the world to come. Mt. 12:32
But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment. Mt. 12:36
For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. Mt. 12:40
The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here. Mt. 12:41
The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here. Mt. 12:42

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mt. 12:50
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow. Mt. 13:3
And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables? Mt. 13:10
Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Mt. 13:13
And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive. Mt. 13:14
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. Mt. 13:19
Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized. Mt. 13:21
Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. Mt. 13:24
And the servants of the good man of the house coming said to him. Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it cockle? Mt. 13:27
Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn. Mt. 13:30
Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Mt. 13:31
Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. Mt. 13:32
Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. Mt. 13:33
All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them. Mt. 13:34
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. Mt. 13:35
Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt. 13:43
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Mt. 13:44
He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. Mt. 13:52
And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? Mt. 13:54
And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. Mt. 13:57
And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. Mt. 14:2
But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist. Mt. 14:8
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. Mt. 14:10
And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother. Mt. 14:11
But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary. Mt. 14:24
And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea. Mt. 14:25
And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God. Mt. 14:33
And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men. Mt. 15:9
And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. Mt. 15:32
And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude? Mt. 15:33
And in the morning: To day there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times? Mt. 16:3
And Jesus answering said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 16:17
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. Mt. 16:19
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works. Mt. 16:27
Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mt. 16:28
And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him. Mt. 17:5
And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: Mt. 17:22
But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee. Mt. 17:27
¤ At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? Mt. 18:1
And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them. Mt. 18:2
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 18:4
And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. Mt. 18:5
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Mt. 18:6
See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 18:10
What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray? Mt. 18:12
Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Mt. 18:14
And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. Mt. 18:16
Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven. Mt. 18:18
Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 18:19
For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Mt. 18:20
And he said: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Mt. 19:5
Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. Mt. 19:21
And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Mt. 19:28
¤ The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. Mt. 20:1
And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle. Mt. 20:3
And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner. Mt. 20:5
Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. Mt. 20:21

And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the temple and saying: Hosanna to the son of David, were moved with indignation, Mt. 21:15
And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry. Mt. 21:18
And all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer believing, you shall receive. Mt. 21:22
But what think you? A certain man had two sons: and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard. Mt. 21:28
And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering said: I go, Sir. And he went not. Mt. 21:30
For John came to you in the way of justice: and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him. Mt. 21:32
Hear ye another parable. There was a man, an householder, who planted a vineyard and made a hedge round about it and dug in it a press and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went into a strange country. Mt. 21:33
Again he sent other servants, more than the former; and they did to them in like manner. Mt. 21:36
They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen that shall render him the fruit in due season. Mt. 21:41
Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes. Mt. 21:42
¤ And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying: Mt. 22:1
And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment. Mt. 22:11
And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent. Mt. 22:12
Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech. Mt. 22:15
And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and teachest the way of God in truth. Neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men. Mt. 22:16
In like manner the second and the third and so on, to the seventh. Mt. 22:26
For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married, but shall be as the angels of God in heaven. Mt. 22:30
And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine. Mt. 22:33
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mt. 22:36
He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying: Mt. 22:43
And they love the first places at feasts and the first chairs in the synagogues, Mt. 23:6

But pray that your flight be not in the winter or on the sabbath. Mt. 24:20

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. And then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty. Mt. 24:30

Then two shall be in the field. One shall be taken and one shall be left. Mt. 24:40
Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season? Mt. 24:45

Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee? Mt. 25:38
Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee? Mt. 25:39
I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me. Mt. 25:43
Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee? Mt. 25:44
And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, Mt. 26:6
For she in pouring this ointment on my body hath done it for my burial. Mt. 26:12

Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. Mt. 26:34

And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables: Mk. 4:11
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. Mk. 4:15
And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized. Mk. 4:17
And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless. Mk. 4:19
And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? Mk. 4:21
And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you. Mk. 4:24
For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear. Mk. 4:28
And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. Mk. 4:29
It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth: Mk. 4:31
And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him. Mk. 4:36
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth, it not concern thee that we perish? Mk. 4:38
Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains. Mk. 5:3
For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him. Mk. 5:4
And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones. Mk. 5:5
And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea. Mk. 5:13
And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done: Mk. 5:14
And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid. Mk. 5:15
And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine. Mk. 5:16
And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered. Mk. 5:20
And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea. Mk. 5:21
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment. Mk. 5:27
And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil. Mk. 5:29
And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments? Mk. 5:30
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. Mk. 5:33
And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease. Mk. 5:34
And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. Mk. 5:39
And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. Mk. 5:40
And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands? Mk. 6:2
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him. Mk. 6:3
And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred. Mk. 6:4
And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only; no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, Mk. 6:8
And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. Mk. 6:14
For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. Mk. 6:17
And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. Mk. 6:22
And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist. Mk. 6:25
But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in the prison, Mk. 6:27
And brought his head in a dish: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother. Mk. 6:28
Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb. Mk. 6:29
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. Mk. 6:40
And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land. Mk. 6:47
And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them. Mk. 6:48
And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. Mk. 6:55
And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. Mk. 6:56
And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men. Mk. 7:7
For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet. Mk. 7:25
¤ In those days again, when there was a great multitude and they had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Mk. 8:1
And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way: for some of them came from afar off. Mk. 8:3
And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness? Mk. 8:4
And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation. Mk. 8:12
And they forgot to take bread: and they had but one loaf with them in the ship. Mk. 8:14
And Jesus went out, and his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am? Mk. 8:27
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul: Mk. 8:37
For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mk. 8:38
¤ And he said to them: Amen I say to you that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God coming in power. Mk. 9:1
And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way? Mk. 9:33
But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest. Mk. 9:34
And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them: Mk. 9:36
Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me receiveth not me but him that sent me. Mk. 9:37
John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us: and we forbade him. Mk. 9:38
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name and can soon speak ill of me. Mk. 9:39
For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. Mk. 9:41
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea. Mk. 9:42
Salt is good. But if the salt become unsavoury, wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you: and have peace among you. Mk. 9:50
And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. Mk. 10:8
And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing. Mk. 10:10
And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me. Mk. 10:21
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God? Mk. 10:24
Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time: houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting. Mk. 10:30
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them. And they were astonished and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him. Mk. 10:32
And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. Mk. 10:37
And Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw and followed him in the way. Mk. 10:52
And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him. Mk. 11:2
And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him. Mk. 11:4
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way. Mk. 11:8
And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Mk. 11:9
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest. Mk. 11:10
And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves. Mk. 11:15
Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine. Mk. 11:18
And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. Mk. 11:20
Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him. Mk. 11:23
And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins. Mk. 11:25
But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in heaven forgive you your sins. Mk. 11:26
And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients. Mk. 11:27
¤ And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it and dug a place for the winefat and built a tower and let it to husbandmen: and went into a far country. Mk. 12:1
And again he sent to them another servant: and him they wounded in the head and used him reproachfully. Mk. 12:4
By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes. Mk. 12:11
And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians: that they should catch him in his words. Mk. 12:13
Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar? Mk. 12:14
And the second took her and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner. Mk. 12:21
And the seven all took her in like manner and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died. Mk. 12:22
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? For the seven had her to wife. Mk. 12:23
For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven. Mk. 12:25
And as concerning the dead that they rise again have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? Mk. 12:26
And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth that there is one God and there is no other besides him. Mk. 12:32
And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David? Mk. 12:35
And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace, Mk. 12:38
And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the highest places at suppers: Mk. 12:39
And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in much. Mk. 12:41
And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing. Mk. 12:42
And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury. Mk. 12:43
For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living. Mk. 12:44
For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many. Mk. 13:6
For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows. Mk. 13:8
But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you Up to councils: and in the synagogues you shall be beaten: and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them. Mk. 13:9
And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Mk. 13:11
And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains. Mk. 13:14
And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up his garment. Mk. 13:16
And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days. Mk. 13:17
But pray ye that these things happen not in winter. Mk. 13:18
For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now: neither shall be. Mk. 13:19
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light. Mk. 13:24
And the stars of heaven shall be falling down and the powers that are in heaven shall be moved. Mk. 13:25
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory. Mk. 13:26
But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. Mk. 13:32
Watch ye therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning): Mk. 13:35
And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard. And breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out upon his head. Mk. 14:3
Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a memorial of her. Mk. 14:9
And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? Mk. 14:14
Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his hand in the dish. Mk. 14:20
Amen I say to you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. Mk. 14:25
And Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in my regard this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed. Mk. 14:27
But Peter saith to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, yet not I. Mk. 14:29
And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, to-day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. Mk. 14:30
But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all. Mk. 14:31
I was daily with you in the temple teaching: and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled. Mk. 14:49
And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men? Mk. 14:60
Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest. Mk. 14:66
¤ And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away and delivered him to Pilate. Mk. 15:1
And the chief priests accused him in many things. Mk. 15:3
And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? Behold in how many things they accuse thee. Mk. 15:4
And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder. Mk. 15:7
And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days buildest it up again: Mk. 15:29
In like manner also the chief priests, mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save. Mk. 15:31
And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom. Mk. 15:38
And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God. Mk. 15:39
Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem. Mk. 15:41
Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Mk. 15:43
And Joseph, buying fine linen and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. Mk. 15:46
And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen. Mk. 16:2
And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country. Mk. 16:12
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. Mk. 16:17
‡ ¤ Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us, Lk. 1:1
It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, Lk. 1:3
That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed. Lk. 1:4
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth. Lk. 1:5
And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame. Lk. 1:6
And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren: and they both were well advanced in years. Lk. 1:7
And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God, Lk. 1:8
And thou shalt have joy and gladness: and many shall rejoice in his nativity. Lk. 1:14
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias: that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people. Lk. 1:17
And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years. Lk. 1:18
And behold, thou shalt be dumb and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass: because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time. Lk. 1:20
And the people were waiting for Zachary: and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple. Lk. 1:21
And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them and remained dumb. Lk. 1:22
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men. Lk. 1:25
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, Lk. 1:26
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Lk. 1:28
Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. Lk. 1:31
He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. Lk. 1:32
And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren. Lk. 1:36
And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. Lk. 1:39
And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost. Lk. 1:41
For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Lk. 1:44
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Lk. 1:47
He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. Lk. 1:51
And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. Lk. 1:66
And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant. Lk. 1:69
In holiness and justice before him, all our days. Lk. 1:75
Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us: Lk. 1:78
To enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace. Lk. 1:79
And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit: and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel. Lk. 1:80
¤ And it came to pass that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. Lk. 2:1
And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn. Lk. 2:7
And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock. Lk. 2:8
For, this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. Lk. 2:11
And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Lk. 2:12
Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will. Lk. 2:14
And they came with haste: and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. Lk. 2:16
But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. Lk. 2:19
And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Lk. 2:21
As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord: Lk. 2:23
And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons: Lk. 2:24
And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon: and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Ghost was in him. Lk. 2:25
And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, Lk. 2:27
Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace: Lk. 2:29
And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and for the resurrection of many in Israel and for a sign which shall be contradicted. Lk. 2:34
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser. She was far advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity. Lk. 2:36
Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord: and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel. Lk. 2:38
And the child grew and waxed strong, full of wisdom: and the grace of God was in him. Lk. 2:40
And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents knew it not. Lk. 2:43
And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance. Lk. 2:44
And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them and asking them questions. Lk. 2:46
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart. Lk. 2:51
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace with God and men. Lk. 2:52
¤ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina: Lk. 3:1
Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas: the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert. Lk. 3:2
As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Lk. 3:4
And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner. Lk. 3:11
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ: Lk. 3:15
Whose fan is in his hand: and he will purge his floor and will gather the wheat into his barn: but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. Lk. 3:17
He added this also above all and shut up John in prison. Lk. 3:20
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove, upon him. And a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased. Lk. 3:22
For the space of forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. Lk. 4:2
And the devil led him into a high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. Lk. 4:5
And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Lk. 4:11
And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee: and the fame of him went out through the whole country. Lk. 4:14
And he taught in their synagogues and was magnified by all. Lk. 4:15
And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Lk. 4:20
And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears. Lk. 4:21

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
And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Lk. 24:38
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 that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Lk. 24:47
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
And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. Lk. 24:53
‡ ¤ In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the Word was God. Jn. 1:1
The same was in the beginning with God. Jn. 1:2
In him was life: and the life was the light of men. Jn. 1:4
And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it. Jn. 1:5
He was in the world: and the world was made by him: and the world knew him not. Jn. 1:10
But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Jn. 1:12
No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the Bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Jn. 1:18
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
These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. Jn. 1:28
And I knew him not: but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. Jn. 1:31
Philip findeth Nathanael and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth. Jn. 1:45
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. Jn. 1:47
¤ And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. Jn. 2:1
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. Jn. 2:11
And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. Jn. 2:14
Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three days I will raise it up. Jn. 2:19
The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days? Jn. 2:20
Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. Jn. 2:23
And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man. Jn. 2:25
Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? Jn. 3:10
And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. Jn. 3:13
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up: Jn. 3:14
That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. Jn. 3:15
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. Jn. 3:16
He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jn. 3:18
But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God. Jn. 3:21
And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim: because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. Jn. 3:23
He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him. Jn. 3:36
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
Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father. Jn. 4:21
But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him. Jn. 4:23
God is a spirit: and they that adore him must adore him in spirit and in truth. Jn. 4:24
In the mean time, the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat. Jn. 4:31
For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth. Jn. 4:37
I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour. Others have laboured: and you have entered into their labours. Jn. 4:38
Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done. Jn. 4:39
And many more believed in him, because of his own word. Jn. 4:41
For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Jn. 4:44
Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches. Jn. 5:2
In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered: waiting for the moving of the water. Jn. 5:3
But he who was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place. Jn. 5:13
Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee. Jn. 5:14
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
For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given to the Son also to have life in himself. Jn. 5:26
Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. Jn. 5:28
He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. Jn. 5:35
And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not. Jn. 5:38
Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me. Jn. 5:39
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
Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. Jn. 6:10
And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. Jn. 6:11
But other ships came in from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks. Jn. 6:23
Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. Jn. 6:29
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Jn. 6:31
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
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
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
It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh to me. Jn. 6:45
Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath everlasting life. Jn. 6:47
Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead. Jn. 6:49
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
These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum. Jn. 6:59
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you? Jn. 6:61
¤ After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Jn. 7:1
For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. Jn. 7:4
For neither did his brethren believe in him. Jn. 7:5
When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee. Jn. 7:9
But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. Jn. 7:10
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him. Jn. 7:18
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
But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than these which this man doth? Jn. 7:31
He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Jn. 7:38
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jn. 7:39
Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? Jn. 7:48
And early in the morning he came again into the temple: and all the people came to him. And sitting down he taught them. Jn. 8:2
And the scribes and Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst, Jn. 8:3
And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery. Jn. 8:4
Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou? Jn. 8:5
But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst. Jn. 8:9
Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jn. 8:12
And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. Jn. 8:17
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. Jn. 8:20
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
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
When he spoke these things, many believed in him. Jn. 8:30
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. Jn. 8:31
Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the son abideth for ever. Jn. 8:35
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
You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Jn. 8:44
Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. Jn. 9:3
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Jn. 9:5
And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed: and he came seeing. Jn. 9:7
They answered and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jn. 9:34
Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? Jn. 9:35
He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? Jn. 9:36
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. Jn. 10:2
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
And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. Jn. 10:23
The Jews therefore came round about him and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jn. 10:24
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
Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said, you are gods? Jn. 10:34
But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father. Jn. 10:38
And many believed in him. Jn. 10:42
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days. Jn. 11:6
Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world: Jn. 11:9
But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. Jn. 11:10
Jesus therefore came: and found that he had been four days already in the grave. Jn. 11:17
Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. Jn. 11:24
Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: Jn. 11:25
And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? Jn. 11:26
For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him. Jn. 11:30
The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there. Jn. 11:31
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself, Jn. 11:33
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it. Jn. 11:38
Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him. Jn. 11:45
If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation. Jn. 11:48
And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God that were dispersed. Jn. 11:52
They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? Jn. 11:56
Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away and believed in Jesus. Jn. 12:11
Took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried Hosanna. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel. Jn. 12:13
He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal. Jn. 12:25
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. Jn. 12:35
Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away and hid himself from them. Jn. 12:36
And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him: Jn. 12:37
However, many of the chief men also believed in him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue. Jn. 12:42
But Jesus cried and said: He that believeth in me doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me. Jn. 12:44
I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness. Jn. 12:46
He that despiseth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Jn. 12:48
¤ Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. Jn. 13:1
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
When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him. Jn. 13:31
If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself: and immediately will he glorify him. Jn. 13:32
¤ Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also in me. Jn. 14:1
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
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
The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you. Jn. 14:17
In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you. Jn. 14:20
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
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
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Jn. 15:2
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
If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither: and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire: and he burneth. Jn. 15:6
If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will: and it shall be done unto you. Jn. 15:7
In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples. Jn. 15:8
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
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
But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause. Jn. 15:25
Of sin: because they believed not in me. Jn. 16:9
A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. Jn. 16:21
And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen, I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you. Jn. 16:23
Hitherto, you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full. Jn. 16:24
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
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
Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them. And they have received them and have known in very deed that I came out from thee: and they have believed that thou didst send me. Jn. 17:8
And 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
Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth. Jn. 17:17
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
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
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
And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. Jn. 18:15
But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the portress and brought in Peter. Jn. 18:16
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
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 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
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
Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha. Jn. 19:13
And bearing his own cross, he went forth to the place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha. Jn. 19:17
Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. Jn. 19:18
This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. Jn. 19:20
They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Jn. 19:40
Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid. Jn. 19:41
And when he stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying: but yet he went not in. Jn. 20:5
Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the sepulchre: and he saw and believed. Jn. 20:8
And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. Jn. 20:12
Now when it was late the same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace be to you. Jn. 20:19
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
And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said: Peace be to you. Jn. 20:26
Then he saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither and see my hands. And bring hither thy hand and put it into my side. And be not faithless, but believing. Jn. 20:27
Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book. Jn. 20:30
But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name. Jn. 20:31
But the other disciples came in the ship (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes. Jn. 21:8
And Jesus cometh and taketh bread and giveth them: and fish in like manner. Jn. 21:13
But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power: Acts 1:7
But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8
And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments. Acts 1:10
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes and Jude the brother of James. Acts 1:13
All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts 1:14
In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty): Acts 1:15
And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1:18
And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. Acts 1:19
For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take. Acts 1:20
Wherefore of these men who have companied with us, all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us, Acts 1:21
¤ And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place: Acts 2:1
And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. Acts 2:6
Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God. Acts 2:11
But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you and with your ears receive my words. Acts 2:14
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
Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know: Acts 2:22
For this my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope. Acts 2:26
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell: nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. Acts 2:27
Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell: neither did his flesh see corruption. Acts 2:31
Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren? Acts 2:37
But Peter said to them: Do penance: and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38
They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41
And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers. Acts 2:42
And fear came upon every soul. Many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem: and there was great fervor in all. Acts 2:43
And continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart: Acts 2:46
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 he leaping up, stood and walked and went in with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. Acts 3:8
And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened. And the faith which is by him hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all. Acts 3:16
You are the children of the prophets and of the testament which God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Acts 3:25
Being grieved that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead: Acts 4:2
And they laid hands upon them and put them in hold till the next day: for it was now evening. Acts 4:3
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes and ancients and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem. Acts 4:5
And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power or by what name, have you done this? Acts 4:7
Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man. Acts 4:17
And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus. Acts 4:18
But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just, in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye. Acts 4:19
But they, threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass. Acts 4:21
For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought. Acts 4:22
Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea and all things that are in them. Acts 4:24
For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, Acts 4:27
And with great power did the Apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord: and great grace was in them all. Acts 4:33
Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God. Acts 5:4
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. Acts 5:7
Immediately, she fell down before his feet and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in found her dead: and carried her out and buried her by her husband. Acts 5:10
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. Acts 5:12
And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord was more increased: Acts 5:14
And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. Acts 5:18
Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. Acts 5:20
Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council and all the ancients of the children of Israel: and they sent to the prison to have them brought. Acts 5:21
Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass. Acts 5:24
But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people. Acts 5:25
Saying: Commanding, we commanded you that you should not teach in this name. And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine: and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us. Acts 5:28
But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while. Acts 5:34
After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him. He also perished: and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed. Acts 5:37
And they consented to him. And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them. Acts 5:40
And every day they ceased not, in the temple and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus. Acts 5:42
¤ And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Acts 6:1
And the word of the Lord increased: and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly. A great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith. Acts 6:7
And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel. Acts 6:15
Who said: Ye men, brethren and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan. Acts 7:2
Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell. Acts 7:4
And he gave him no inheritance in it: no, not the pace of a foot. But he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. Acts 7:5
And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage and treat them evil four hundred years. Acts 7:6
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
And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and over all his house. Acts 7:10
But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first. Acts 7:12
And they were translated into Sichem and were laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem. Acts 7:16
And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt. Acts 7:17
Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph. Acts 7:18
At the same time was Moses born: and he was acceptable to God. Who was nourished three months in his father's house. Acts 7:20
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians: and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds. Acts 7:22
And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren. Why hurt you one another? Acts 7:26
And Moses fled upon this word: and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons. Acts 7:29
And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him, in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush. Acts 7:30
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
This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? Him God sent to be prince and redeemer, by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the burning bush. Acts 7:35
He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the desert, forty years. Acts 7:36
This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sina and with our fathers. Who received the words of life to give unto us. Acts 7:38
Whom our fathers would not obey: but thrust him away and in their hearts turned back into Egypt, Acts 7:39
And they made a calf in those days and offered sacrifices to the idol and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Acts 7:41
And God turned and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel? Acts 7:42
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen. Acts 7:44
Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles: whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David, Acts 7:45
Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith: Acts 7:48
You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost. As your fathers did, so do you also. Acts 7:51
And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge: And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. Acts 7:60
But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house: and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison. Acts 8:3
There was therefore great joy in that city. Acts 8:8
Now there was a certain man named Simon who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one: Acts 8:9
But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:12
Now, when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. Acts 8:14
For he was not as yet come upon any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 8:16
Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Acts 8:21
For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity. Acts 8:23
And he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading Isaias the prophet. Acts 8:28
In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth? Acts 8:33
But Philip was found in Azotus: and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. Acts 8:40
Now the men who went in company with him stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice but seeing no man. Acts 9:7
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
And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the street that is called Strait and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth. Acts 9:11
(And he saw a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.) Acts 9:12
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
And Ananias went his way and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 9:17
And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the son of God. Acts 9:20
And all that heard him were astonished and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests? Acts 9:21
But Saul increased much more in strength and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ. Acts 9:22
But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him. Acts 9:24
But the disciples, taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket. Acts 9:25
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him: and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus. Acts 9:27
And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem Acts 9:28
And dealing confidently in the name of the Lord. He spoke also to the Gentiles and disputed with the Greeks. But they sought to kill him. Acts 9:29

And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. Acts 9:36
And it came to pass in those days that she was sick and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. Acts 9:37
And it was made known throughout all Joppe. And many believed in the Lord. Acts 9:42
And it came to pass that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner. Acts 9:43
¤ And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band: Acts 10:1
This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him and saying to him: Cornelius. Acts 10:3
And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God. Acts 10:4
Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following, he arose and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him. Acts 10:23
And it came to pass that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him and falling at his feet adored. Acts 10:25
And talking with him, he went in and found many that were come together. Acts 10:27
And 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
and said: Cornelius, thy prayer is heard and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. Acts 10:31

But in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh justice is acceptable to him. Acts 10:35
And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem: whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree. Acts 10:39
To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him. Acts 10:43
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days. Acts 10:48
¤ And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. Acts 11:1
Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised and didst eat with them? Acts 11:3
But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying: Acts 11:4
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
And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him: Send to Joppe and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter, Acts 11:13
And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning. Acts 11:15
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
Who, when he was come and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced. And he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord. Acts 11:23
Whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch. And they conversed there in the church a whole year: and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians. Acts 11:26
And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch. Acts 11:27
And the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea. Acts 11:29
And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes. Acts 12:3
Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him. Acts 12:5
And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shined in the room. And he, striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands. Acts 12:7
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

Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. Acts 13:13
But they, passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and, entering into the Synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down. Acts 13:14
The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt: And with an high arm brought them out from thence: Acts 13:17
And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert: Acts 13:18
And, destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them by lot. Acts 13:19
And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. Acts 13:28
And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre. Acts 13:29
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 therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption. Acts 13:35
For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers and saw corruption. Acts 13:36
And from all the things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. In him every one that believeth is justified. Acts 13:39
Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets: Acts 13:40
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
And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews and of the strangers who served God followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:43
¤ And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe. Acts 14:1
A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. Acts 14:3
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked. Acts 14:8
And when the multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. Acts 14:11

Who in times past, suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. Acts 14:16
Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22
And when they had ordained to them priests in every church and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed. Acts 14:23
And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia. Acts 14:25
And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. Acts 15:7
But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also. Acts 15:11
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath. Acts 15:21
Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting. Acts 15:23
And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do. Acts 15:36
To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony. Acts 16:2
Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. Acts 16:3
And the churches were confirmed in faith and increased in number daily. Acts 16:5
And when they had passed through Phrygia and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia. Acts 16:6
And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him and saying: Pass over into Macedonia and help us. Acts 16:9
And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together. Acts 16:12
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
Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks. Acts 16:24
And at midnight, Paul and Silas, praying, praised God. And they that were in prison heard them. Acts 16:25
Then calling for a light, he went in: and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas. Acts 16:29
But they said: believe in the Lord Jesus: and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31
And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. Acts 16:32
And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart. And go in peace. Acts 16:36
And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them. And for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures: Acts 17:2
But the Jews, moved with envy and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar: and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them out unto the people. Acts 17:5
And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar are come hither also: Acts 17:6
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so. Acts 17:11
He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews and with them that served God: and in the market place, every day, with them that were there. Acts 17:17
For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean. Acts 17:20
(Now all the Athenians and strangers that were there employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.) Acts 17:21
But Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. Acts 17:22
God, who made the world and all things therein, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. Acts 17:24
For in him we live and move and are: as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring. Acts 17:28
Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed: giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead. Acts 17:31
And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome), he came to them. Acts 18:2
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. Acts 18:4
And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. Acts 18:5
And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians hearing, believed and were baptized. Acts 18:8
And the Lord said to Paul in the night, by a vision: Do not fear, but speak. And hold not thy peace, Acts 18:9
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
But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae. For he had a vow. Acts 18:18
And after he had spent some time there, he departed and went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, confirming all the disciples. Acts 18:23
Now a certain Jew, named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, one mighty in the scriptures. Acts 18:24
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, spoke and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. Acts 18:25
This man therefore began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Whom when Priscilla and Aquila had heard, they took him to them and expounded to him the way of the Lord more diligently. Acts 18:26
And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism. Acts 19:3
Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance saying: That they should believe in him, who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus. Acts 19:4
Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 19:5
But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. Acts 19:9
And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles. Acts 19:10
And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Acts 19:16
And 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 sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia. Acts 19:22
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing! Yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. Acts 19:27
And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. Acts 19:30
And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly. Acts 19:39
For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. Acts 19:40
But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the azymes and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days. Acts 20:6
And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled. Acts 20:8
To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him and, embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him. Acts 20:10
But we going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul. For so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land. Acts 20:13
And when he had met with us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene. Acts 20:14
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem. Acts 20:16
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
Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 20:21
And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there: Acts 20:22
Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem. Acts 20:23
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
Who, when he was come to us, took Paul's girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Acts 21:11
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 the day following, Paul went in with us unto James: and all the ancients were assembled. Acts 21:18
But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and laid hands upon him, crying out: Acts 21:27
Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people and the law and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple and hath violated this holy place. Acts 21:28
(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) Acts 21:29
And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut. Acts 21:30
And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band that all Jerusalem was in confusion. Acts 21:31
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
And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying: Acts 21:40
(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.) Acts 22:2
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
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 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
And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel? Acts 23:9
And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune, fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and to take him by force from among them and to bring him into the castle. Acts 23:10
And the night following, the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. Acts 23:11
Which when Paul's sister's son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul. Acts 23:16
But do not thou give credit to them: for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat nor to drink, till they have killed him. And they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee. Acts 23:21
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
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
And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas, through thee we live in much peace and many things are rectified by thy providence, Acts 24:2
We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving. Acts 24:3
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
For thou mayest understand that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to adore in Jerusalem: Acts 24:11
And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or causing any concourse of the people: neither in the synagogues, nor in the city. Acts 24:12
But this I confess to thee that according to the way which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets: Acts 24:14
Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust. Acts 24:15
In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude nor with tumult. Acts 24:18
Or let these men themselves say if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council, Acts 24:20
And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul and heard of him the faith that is in Christ Jesus. Acts 24:24
Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way. Acts 25:3
But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea: and that he himself would very shortly depart thither. Acts 25:4
Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man. Acts 25:5
And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, he sat in the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought. Acts 25:6
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
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
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
And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know: Acts 26:4
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
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
To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me. Acts 26:18
For this cause, the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me. Acts 26:21
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
And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian. Acts 26:28
And Paul said: I would to God that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands. Acts 26:29
And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia. Acts 27:5
And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice, to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest. Acts 27:12
And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me and not have loosed from Crete and have gained this harm and loss. Acts 27:21
But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country. Acts 27:27
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved. Acts 27:31
And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat. Acts 27:35
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. Acts 27:37
And when it was day, they knew not the land. But they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship. Acts 27:39
Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius: who, receiving us for three days, entertained us courteously. Acts 28:7
And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in. And when he had prayed and laid his hands on him, he healed him. Acts 28:8
Which being done, all that had diseases in the island came and were healed. Acts 28:9
And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors. Acts 28:11
Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me. Acts 28:18
And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging: and he received all that came in to him, Acts 28:30
Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures, Rom. 1:2
Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead: Rom. 1:4
By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name: Rom. 1:5
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
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
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 the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice: Rom. 1:18
Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them. Rom. 1:19
Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God or given thanks: but became vain in their thoughts. And their foolish heart was darkened. Rom. 1:21
And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. Rom. 1:27
And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient. Rom. 1:28
To them indeed who, according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life: Rom. 2:7
For whosoever have sinned without the law shall perish without the law: and whosoever have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. Rom. 2:12
Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them: and their thoughts between themselves accusing or also defending one another, Rom. 2:15
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. Rom. 2:16
But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law and makest thy boast of God, Rom. 2:17
Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, Rom. 2:19
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law. Rom. 2:20
For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly: nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh. Rom. 2:28
But he is a Jew that is one inwardly and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter: whose praise is not of men, but of God. Rom. 2:29
But God is true and every man a liar, as it is written: That thou mayest be justified in thy words and mayest overcome when thou art judged. Rom. 3:4
Destruction and misery in their ways: Rom. 3:16
Now we know that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law: that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be made subject to God. Rom. 3:19
Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction. Rom. 3:22
Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Rom. 3:24
Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins, through the forbearance of God, Rom. 3:25
For the shewing of his justice in this time: that he himself may be just and the justifier of him who is of the faith of Jesus Christ Rom. 3:26
But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God. Rom. 4:5
This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice. Rom. 4:9
How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. Rom. 4:10
And he might be the father of circumcision; not to them only that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faith that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. Rom. 4:12
Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be. Rom. 4:18
And he was not weak in faith. Neither did he consider his own body, now dead (whereas he was almost an hundred years old), nor the dead womb of Sara. Rom. 4:19
In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust: but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God: Rom. 4:20
But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead, Rom. 4:24
By whom also we have access through faith into this grace wherein we stand: and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God. Rom. 5:2
And not only so: but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; Rom. 5:3
And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost who is given to us. Rom. 5:5
And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation. Rom. 5:11
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned. Rom. 5:12
For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when the law was not. Rom. 5:13
For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift and of justice shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ. Rom. 5:17
Now the law entered in that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound. Rom. 5:20
¤ What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom. 6:1
Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death? Rom. 6:3
For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. Rom. 6:4
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Rom. 6:5
For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom. 6:10
So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 6:11
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof. Rom. 6:12
What fruit therefore had you then in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death. Rom. 6:21
For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 6:23
For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. Rom. 7:5
But now we are loosed from the law of death wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom. 7:6
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. Rom. 7:8
Was that then which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me: that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure. Rom. 7:13
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
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
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
¤ There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh. Rom. 8:1
For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death. Rom. 8:2
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh. Rom. 8:3
That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. Rom. 8:4
And they who are in the flesh cannot please God. Rom. 8:8
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom. 8:9
And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin: but the spirit liveth, because of justification. Rom. 8:10
And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ, from the dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom. 8:11
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear: but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father). Rom. 8:15
For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us. Rom. 8:18
For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope. Rom. 8:20
For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now. Rom. 8:22
But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us. Rom. 8:37
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 8:39
¤ 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
Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Rom. 9:7
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
And it shalt be in the place where it was said unto them: you are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God. Rom. 9:26
For he shall finish his word and cut it short in justice: because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth. Rom. 9:28
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
But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down; Rom. 10:6
But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee; even in thy mouth and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach. Rom. 10:8
For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom. 10:9
For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded. Rom. 10:11
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom. 10:14
And if some of the branches be broken and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them and art made partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree: Rom. 11:17
Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. Rom. 11:19
See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness. Otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Rom. 11:22
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. Rom. 11:23
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
For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief: Rom. 11:30
For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. Rom. 11:32
For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen. Rom. 11:36
And be not conformed to this world: but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and the acceptable and the perfect will of God. Rom. 12:2
For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office: Rom. 12:4
So we, being many, are one body in Christ; and every one members one of another: Rom. 12:5
Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine; Rom. 12:7
He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. Rom. 12:8
In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord. Rom. 12:11
Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer. Rom. 12:12
Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits. Rom. 12:16
To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God but also in the sight of all men. Rom. 12:17
If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men. Rom. 12:18
For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil. Rom. 13:4
For: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet. And if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Rom. 13:9
Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy. Rom. 13:13
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ: and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences. Rom. 13:14
¤ Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts. Rom. 14:1
For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day. Let every man abound in his own sense. Rom. 14:5
Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother's way. Rom. 14:13
I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Rom. 14:14
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but justice and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Rom. 14:17
For he that in this serveth Christ pleaseth God and is approved of men. Rom. 14:18
Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth. Rom. 14:22
And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope. Rom. 15:12
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing: that you may abound in hope and in the power of the Holy Ghost. Rom. 15:13
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
By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about, as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ. Rom. 15:19
But now, having no more place in these countries and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you, Rom. 15:23
When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that, as I pass, I shall see you and be brought on my way thither by you: if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you. Rom. 15:24
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem. Rom. 15:26
For it hath pleased them: and they are their debtors. For, if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them. Rom. 15:27
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
¤ And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae: Rom. 16:1
That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also. Rom. 16:2
Salute Prisca and Aquila, my helpers, in Christ Jesus Rom. 16:3
And the church which is in their house. Salute Epenetus, my beloved: who is the firstfruits of Asia in Christ. Rom. 16:5
Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. Rom. 16:7
Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the Lord. Rom. 16:8
Salute Urbanus, our helper in Christ Jesus and Stachys, my beloved. Rom. 16:9
Salute Apelles, approved in Christ. Salute them that are of Aristobulus' household. Rom. 16:10
Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus' household, who are in the Lord. Rom. 16:11
Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord. Rom. 16:12
Salute Rufus, elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine. Rom. 16:13
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
To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and ours. 1 Cor. 1:2
I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus: 1 Cor. 1:4
That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance and in all knowledge; 1 Cor. 1:5
As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, 1 Cor. 1:6
So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:7
Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:8
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
Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 1 Cor. 1:13
Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name. 1 Cor. 1:15
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. 1 Cor. 1:17
For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. 1 Cor. 1:21
That no flesh should glory in his sight. 1 Cor. 1:29
But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption: 1 Cor. 1:30
That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord. 1 Cor. 1:31
¤ 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
And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. 1 Cor. 2:3
And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power: 1 Cor. 2:4
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: 1 Cor. 2:7
For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:11
Which things also we speak: not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1 Cor. 2:13
¤ 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
Every man's work shall be manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire. And the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is. 1 Cor. 3:13
Know you not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Cor. 3:16
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1 Cor. 3:18
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
Let no man therefore glory in men. For all things are yours, 1 Cor. 3:21
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
We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honourable, but we without honour. 1 Cor. 4:10
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
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
For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power. 1 Cor. 4:20
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
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus: 1 Cor. 5:4
To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 5:5
I wrote to you in an epistle not to keep company with fornicators. 1 Cor. 5:9
If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge who are the most despised in the church. 1 Cor. 6:4
And such some of you were. But you are washed: but you are sanctified: but you are justified: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor. 6:11
Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh. 1 Cor. 6:16
Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God: and you are not your own? 1 Cor. 6:19
For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body. 1 Cor. 6:20
Let the husband render the debt to his wife: and the wife also in like manner to the husband. 1 Cor. 7:3
The wife hath not power of her own body: but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body: but the wife. 1 Cor. 7:4
But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace. 1 Cor. 7:15
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
Is any man called, being circumcised? Let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. 1 Cor. 7:18
Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called. 1 Cor. 7:20
For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ. 1 Cor. 7:22
And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord: that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world: how she may please her husband. 1 Cor. 7:34
For he that hath determined, being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will: and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well. 1 Cor. 7:37
Therefore both he that giveth his virgin in marriage doth well: and he that giveth her not doth better. 1 Cor. 7:38
A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: but if her husband die, she is at liberty. Let her marry to whom she will: only in the Lord. 1 Cor. 7:39
But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one. 1 Cor. 8:4
For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many and lords many): 1 Cor. 8:5
But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol, eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol: and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 1 Cor. 8:7
For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols? 1 Cor. 8:10
¤ 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
For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 1 Cor. 9:9
Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit. 1 Cor. 9:10
Know you not that they who work in the holy place eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar partake with the altar? 1 Cor. 9:13
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
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
Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize. So run that you may obtain. 1 Cor. 9:24
And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea: 1 Cor. 10:2
But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert. 1 Cor. 10:5
Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things, as they also coveted. 1 Cor. 10:6
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication: and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 1 Cor. 10:8
Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1 Cor. 10:11
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
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat: asking no question for conscience' sake. 1 Cor. 10:25
As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself but to many: that they may be saved. 1 Cor. 10:33
Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you. 1 Cor. 11:2
But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord. 1 Cor. 11:11
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
In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. 1 Cor. 11:25
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
And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all. 1 Cor. 12:6
To another, faith in the same spirit: to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit: 1 Cor. 12:9
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink. 1 Cor. 12:13
But now God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him. 1 Cor. 12:18
That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another. 1 Cor. 12:25
And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors: after that miracles: then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches. 1 Cor. 12:28
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth: 1 Cor. 13:6
For we know in part: and we prophesy in part. 1 Cor. 13:9
But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 1 Cor. 13:10
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
For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Cor. 14:2
He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. 1 Cor. 14:4
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
There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world: and none is without voice. 1 Cor. 14:10
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth: but my understanding is without fruit. 1 Cor. 14:14
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
Brethren, do not become children in sense. But in malice be children: and in sense be perfect. 1 Cor. 14:20
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
If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad? 1 Cor. 14:23
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all: he is judged of all. 1 Cor. 14:24
If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course: and let one interpret. 1 Cor. 14:27
But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church and speak to himself and to God. 1 Cor. 14:28
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
Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak but to be subject, as also the law saith. 1 Cor. 14:34
But if they would learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. 1 Cor. 14:35
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
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
And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain: for you are yet in your sins. 1 Cor. 15:17
Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 1 Cor. 15:18
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 1 Cor. 15:19
And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. 1 Cor. 15:22
But every one in his own order: the firstfruits, Christ: then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming. 1 Cor. 15:23
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 1 Cor. 15:28
Why also are we in danger every hour? 1 Cor. 15:30
I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Cor. 15:31
One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory. 1 Cor. 15:41
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption: it shall rise in incorruption. 1 Cor. 15:42
It is sown in dishonour: it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness: it shall rise in power. 1 Cor. 15:43
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise again incorruptible. And we shall be changed. 1 Cor. 15:52
And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. 1 Cor. 15:54
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable: always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58
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
Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: do manfully and be strengthened. 1 Cor. 16:13
Let all your things be done in charity. 1 Cor. 16:14
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
My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. 1 Cor. 16:24
‡ ¤ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia: 2 Cor. 1:1
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God. 2 Cor. 1:4
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound. 2 Cor. 1:5
Now whether we be in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation: or whether we be exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which worketh the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. 2 Cor. 1:6
For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation which came to us in Asia: that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life. 2 Cor. 1:8
But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead. 2 Cor. 1:9
Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: in whom we trust that he will yet also deliver us, 2 Cor. 1:10
You helping withal in prayer for us. That for this gift obtained for us, by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many in our behalf. 2 Cor. 1:11
For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you. 2 Cor. 1:12
As also you have known us in part, that we are your glory: as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 1:14
And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace: 2 Cor. 1:15
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not: It is and It is not. But, It is, was in him. 2 Cor. 1:19
For all the promises of God are in him, It is. Therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory. 2 Cor. 1:20
Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ and that hath anointed us, is God: 2 Cor. 1:21
Who also hath sealed us and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Cor. 1:22
not because we exercise dominion over your faith: but we are helpers of your joy. For in faith you stand. 2 Cor. 1:24
¤ But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. 2 Cor. 2:1
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
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
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
Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Cor. 2:14
For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved and in them that perish. 2 Cor. 2:15
For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God: but with sincerity: but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak. 2 Cor. 2:17
You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men: 2 Cor. 3:2
Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written: not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God: not in tables of stone but in the fleshly tables of the heart. 2 Cor. 3:3
Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter but in the spirit. For the letter killeth: but the spirit quickeneth. 2 Cor. 3:6
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory? 2 Cor. 3:8
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory. 2 Cor. 3:9
For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by reason of the glory that excelleth. 2 Cor. 3:10
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory. 2 Cor. 3:11
But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void). 2 Cor. 3:14
But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness nor adulterating the word of God: but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God. 2 Cor. 4:2
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them. 2 Cor. 4:4
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus. 2 Cor. 4:6
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God and not of us. 2 Cor. 4:7
In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute. 2 Cor. 4:8
Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies. 2 Cor. 4:10
For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake: that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Cor. 4:11
So then death worketh in us: but life in you. 2 Cor. 4:12
For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. 2 Cor. 4:15
¤ For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. 2 Cor. 5:1
For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven. 2 Cor. 5:2
For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 2 Cor. 5:4
Therefore having always confidence, knowing that while we are in the body we are absent from the Lord. 2 Cor. 5:6
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men: but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest. 2 Cor. 5:11
We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf: that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart. 2 Cor. 5:12
For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for you. 2 Cor. 5:13
If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away. Behold all things are made new. 2 Cor. 5:17
For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins. And he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:19
Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him. 2 Cor. 5:21
¤ And we helping do exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Cor. 6:1
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 in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses, 2 Cor. 6:4
In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, 2 Cor. 6:5
In chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned, 2 Cor. 6:6
In the word of truth, in the power of God: by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left: 2 Cor. 6:7
You are not straitened in us: but in your own bowels you are straitened. 2 Cor. 6:12
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
¤ Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God. 2 Cor. 7:1
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
Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful, but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing. 2 Cor. 7:9
For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you: yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge. In all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter. 2 Cor. 7:11
Therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 2 Cor. 7:13
And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame: but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth. 2 Cor. 7:14
I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you. 2 Cor. 7:16
¤ Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia. 2 Cor. 8:1
That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity. 2 Cor. 8:2
That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may abound. 2 Cor. 8:7
Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have. 2 Cor. 8:11
But by an equality. In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want: that there may be an equality, 2 Cor. 8:14
And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus. 2 Cor. 8:16
We have sent also with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches. 2 Cor. 8:18
Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us. 2 Cor. 8:20
And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent: with much confidence in you, 2 Cor. 8:22
Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity and of our boasting on your behalf. 2 Cor. 8:24
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
Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter. 2 Cor. 9:4
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
Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. 9:7
And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work, 2 Cor. 9:8
That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. 2 Cor. 9:11
Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord. 2 Cor. 9:12
And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you. 2 Cor. 9:14
¤ 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
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 2 Cor. 10:3
And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled. 2 Cor. 10:6
Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles when absent, such also we will be indeed when present. 2 Cor. 10:11
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the Gospel of Christ. 2 Cor. 10:14
Not glorying beyond measure in other men's labours: but having hope of your increasing faith, to be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly. 2 Cor. 10:15
Yea, unto those places that are beyond you to preach the gospel: not to glory in another man's rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand. 2 Cor. 10:16
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 2 Cor. 10:17
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 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
And, when I was present with you and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia. And in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you: and so I will keep myself. 2 Cor. 11:9
The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia. 2 Cor. 11:10
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
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 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
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
In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren: 2 Cor. 11:26
In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness: 2 Cor. 11:27
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall: and so escaped his hands. 2 Cor. 11:33
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
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
Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. 2 Cor. 12:12
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
Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ: but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification. 2 Cor. 12:19
¤ 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
Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you? 2 Cor. 13:3
For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you. 2 Cor. 13:4
Try your own selves if you be in the faith: prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates? 2 Cor. 13:5
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
And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ: Gal. 1:22
But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past doth now preach the faith which once he impugned. Gal. 1:23
And they glorified God in me. Gal. 1:24
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
But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude. Gal. 2:4
(For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision wrought in me also among the Gentiles.) Gal. 2:8
But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Gal. 2:16
But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid! Gal. 2:17
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
Are you so foolish that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh? Gal. 3:3
Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain. Gal. 3:4
And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed. Gal. 3:8
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one that abideth, not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Gal. 3:10
But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith. Gal. 3:11
But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall live in them. Gal. 3:12
Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Gal. 3:19
Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ: that we might be justified by faith. Gal. 3:24
For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3:26
For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. Gal. 3:27
There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3:28
I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you. Gal. 4:11
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
They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them. Gal. 4:17
But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you. Gal. 4:18
My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you. Gal. 4:19
For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children. Gal. 4:25
You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace. Gal. 5:4
For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice. Gal. 5:5
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity. Gal. 5:6
I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be. Gal. 5:10
For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Gal. 5:14
I say then: Walk in the spirit: and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Gal. 5:16
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal. 5:25
¤ Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Gal. 6:1
But let every one prove his own work: and so he shall have glory in himself only and not in another. Gal. 6:4
And let him that is instructed in the word communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things. Gal. 6:6
For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. Gal. 6:8
And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing. Gal. 6:9
For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ. Gal. 6:12
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. Gal. 6:13
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal. 6:14
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but a new creature. Gal. 6:15
From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body. Gal. 6:17
‡ ¤ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. Eph. 1:1
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ: Eph. 1:3
As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. Eph. 1:4
Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us, in his beloved son. Eph. 1:6
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his, grace, Eph. 1:7
Which hath superabounded in us, in all wisdom and prudence, Eph. 1:8
That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, Eph. 1:9
In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him. Eph. 1:10
In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will. Eph. 1:11
That we may be unto the praise of his glory: we who before hoped in Christ: Eph. 1:12
In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation), in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise. Eph. 1:13
Wherefore, I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus and of your love towards all the saints, Eph. 1:15
Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers, Eph. 1:16
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him: Eph. 1:17
The eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what the hope is of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Eph. 1:18
Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places. Eph. 1:20
Above all principality and power and virtue and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Eph. 1:21
Which is his body and the fulness of him who is filled all in all. Eph. 1:23
¤ And you, when you were dead in your offences and sins, Eph. 2:1
Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief: Eph. 2:2
In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: Eph. 2:3
But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us Eph. 2:4
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ (by whose grace you are saved) Eph. 2:5
And hath raised us up together and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:6
That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:7
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. Eph. 2:10
For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands: Eph. 2:11
That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise and without God in this world. Eph. 2:12
But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph. 2:13
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: Eph. 2:14
Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace Eph. 2:15
And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself. Eph. 2:16
For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father. Eph. 2:18
In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord. Eph. 2:21
In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit. Eph. 2:22
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
As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, Eph. 3:4
Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit: Eph. 3:5
That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body: and copartners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel Eph. 3:6
And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things: Eph. 3:9
That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church, Eph. 3:10
According to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord: Eph. 3:11
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Eph. 3:12
Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named: Eph. 3:15
That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity, Eph. 3:17
Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us: Eph. 3:20
To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations, world without end. Amen. Eph. 3:21
¤ I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called: Eph. 4:1
With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. Eph. 4:2
Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph. 4:3
One body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your calling. Eph. 4:4
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all. Eph. 4:6
That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive. Eph. 4:14
But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ: Eph. 4:15
From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity. Eph. 4:16
This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind: Eph. 4:17
Having their understanding darkened: being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts. Eph. 4:18
If so be that you have heard him and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus: Eph. 4:21
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind: Eph. 4:23
And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth. Eph. 4:24
And be ye kind one to another: merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ. Eph. 4:32
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness. Eph. 5:2
For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Eph. 5:5
For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. Eph. 5:8
For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth: Eph. 5:9
For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. Eph. 5:12
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord: Eph. 5:19
Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father: Eph. 5:20
Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ. Eph. 5:21
Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things. Eph. 5:24
That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life: Eph. 5:26
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh. Eph. 5:31
This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church. Eph. 5:32
Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself: And let the wife fear her husband. Eph. 5:33
¤ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is just. Eph. 6:1
And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger: but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord. Eph. 6:4
Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. Eph. 6:5
And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings: knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven. And there is no respect of persons with him. Eph. 6:9
Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord and in the might of his power. Eph. 6:10
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Eph. 6:12
Therefore, take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day and to stand in all things perfect. Eph. 6:13
In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. Eph. 6:16
By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit: and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints: Eph. 6:18
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
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen. Eph. 6:24
‡ ¤ Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ: to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons. Phil. 1:1
I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you: Phil. 1:3
Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all with joy: Phil. 1:4
For your communication in the gospel of Christ, from the first day unto now. Phil. 1:5
Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6
As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that, in my bands and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy. Phil. 1:7
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
So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court and in all other places. Phil. 1:13
And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear. Phil. 1:14
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
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 to abide still in the flesh is needful for you. Phil. 1:24
That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again. Phil. 1:26
Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel. Phil. 1:27
And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God. Phil. 1:28
For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him: Phil. 1:29
Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me and now have heard of me. Phil. 1:30
¤ If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration: Phil. 2:1
Fulfil ye my joy, that you be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment. Phil. 2:2
Let nothing be done through contention: neither by vain glory. But in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves: Phil. 2:3
For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Phil. 2:5
Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Phil. 2:6
But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, Phil. 2:7
And in habit found as a man. He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. Phil. 2:8
That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: Phil. 2:10
And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father. Phil. 2:11
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but much more now in my absence) with fear and trembling work out your salvation. Phil. 2:12
For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will. Phil. 2:13
That you may be blameless and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation: among whom you shine as lights in the world. Phil. 2:15
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
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
Now know ye the proof of him: that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel. Phil. 2:22
And I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come to you shortly. Phil. 2:24
Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord: and treat with honour such as he is. Phil. 2:29
¤ As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is necessary. Phil. 3:1
For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh. Phil. 3:3
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
According to zeal, persecuting the church of God: According to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame. Phil. 3:6
And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith. Phil. 3:9
I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:14
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you, Phil. 3:15
Nevertheless, whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule. Phil. 3:16
Whose end is destruction: whose God is their belly: and whose glory is in their shame: who mind earthly things. Phil. 3:19
But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, Phil. 3:20
¤ Therefore my dearly beloved brethren and most desired, my joy and my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. Phil. 4:1
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
Be nothing solicitous: but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. Phil. 4:6
And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:7
The things which you have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, these do ye: and the God of peace shall be with you. Phil. 4:9
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
Nevertheless, you have done well in communicating to my tribulation. Phil. 4:14
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
And may my God supply all your want, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19
Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you. Phil. 4:21
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus who are at Colossa. Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Col. 1:2
Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have towards all the saints. Col. 1:4
For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel, Col. 1:5
Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth. Col. 1:6
Who also hath manifested to us your love in the spirit. Col. 1:8
Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: Col. 1:9
That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God: Col. 1:10
Strengthened with all might according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy, Col. 1:11
Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light: Col. 1:12
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins: Col. 1:14
For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by him and in him. Col. 1:16
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may hold the primacy: Col. 1:18
Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell: Col. 1:19
And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth and the things that are in heaven. Col. 1:20
And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works: Yet now he hath reconciled Col. 1:21
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted and blameless before him: Col. 1:22
If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven: whereof I Paul am made a minister. Col. 1:23
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church: Col. 1:24
To whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ, in you the hope of glory. Col. 1:27
Whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Col. 1:28
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
That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus: Col. 2:2
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Col. 2:3
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
As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him: Col. 2:6
Rooted and built up in him and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned: abounding in him in thanksgiving. Col. 2:7
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally. Col. 2:9
And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and power. Col. 2:10
In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand in despoiling of the body of the flesh: but in the circumcision of Christ. Col. 2:11
Buried with him in baptism: in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him up from the dead. Col. 2:12
And you, when you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences: Col. 2:13
And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself. Col. 2:15
Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect of a festival day or of the new moon or of the sabbaths, Col. 2:16
Let no man seduce you, willing in humility and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh: Col. 2:18
If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, why do you yet decree as though living in the world? Col. 2:20
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh. Col. 2:23
For you are dead: and your life is hid with Christ in God. Col. 3:3
When Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory. Col. 3:4
In which you also walked some time, when you lived in them. Col. 3:7
Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all and in all. Col. 3:11
And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. Col. 3:15
Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly: in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. Col. 3:16
All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col. 3:17
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord. Col. 3:18
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Col. 3:20
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh: not serving to the eye, as pleasing men: but in simplicity of heart, fearing God. Col. 3:22
¤ Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven. Col. 4:1
Be instant in prayer: watching in it with thanksgiving. Col. 4:2
Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man. Col. 4:6
All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you. Col. 4:7
And Jesus that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision. These only are my helpers, in the kingdom of God: who have been a comfort to me. Col. 4:11
Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and full in all the will of God. Col. 4:12
Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea: and Nymphas and the church that is in his house. Col. 4:15
And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans. Col. 4:16
And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. Col. 4:17
‡ ¤ Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians: in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you and peace. 1 Th. 1:1
We give thanks to God always for you all: making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing, 1 Th. 1:2
For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also: and in the Holy Ghost and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. 1 Th. 1:5
And you became followers of us and of the Lord: receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 1 Th. 1:6
So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 1 Th. 1:7
For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and in Achaia but also in every place: your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing. 1 Th. 1:8
For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you: and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. 1 Th. 1:9
¤ For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 1 Th. 2:1
But having suffered many things before and been shamefully treated, (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness. 1 Th. 2:2
For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit. 1 Th. 2:3
But we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children: 1 Th. 2:7
As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you (as a father doth his children), 1 Th. 2:11
Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed. 1 Th. 2:13
For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews: 1 Th. 2:14
But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. 1 Th. 2:17
For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 1 Th. 2:19
And we sent Timothy, our brother and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith: 1 Th. 3:2
That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 1 Th. 3:3
Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith. 1 Th. 3:7
Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord. 1 Th. 3:8
For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God, 1 Th. 3:9
And may the Lord multiply you and make you abound in charity towards one another and towards all men: as we do also towards you, 1 Th. 3:12
To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen. 1 Th. 3:13
¤ For the rest therefore, brethren, we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more. 1 Th. 4:1
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour, 1 Th. 4:4
Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God: 1 Th. 4:5
And that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before and have testified. 1 Th. 4:6
Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us. 1 Th. 4:8
For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more: 1 Th. 4:10
For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept. 1 Th. 4:15
For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first. 1 Th. 4:16
Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air: and so shall we be always with the Lord. 1 Th. 4:17
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night. 1 Th. 5:2
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 1 Th. 5:4
For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. 1 Th. 5:7
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you; 1 Th. 5:12
That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them. 1 Th. 5:13
In all things give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. 1 Th. 5:18
And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things: that your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Th. 5:23
‡ ¤ Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians. In God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Th. 1:1
So that we ourselves also glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith, and in all your persecutions and tribulations: which you endure 2 Th. 1:4
In a flame of fire, giving vengeance to them who know not God and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 1:8
Who shall suffer eternal punishment in destruction, from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his power: 2 Th. 1:9
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be made wonderful in all them who have believed; because our testimony was believed upon you in that day. 2 Th. 1:10
Wherefore also we pray always for you: That our God would make you worthy of his vocation and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith in power: 2 Th. 1:11
That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 1:12
Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. 2 Th. 2:4
And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. 2 Th. 2:6
Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders: 2 Th. 2:9
And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Th. 2:10
But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit and faith of the truth: 2 Th. 2:13
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope in grace, 2 Th. 2:16
Exhort your hearts and confirm you in every good work and word. 2 Th. 2:17
And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord that the things which we command, you both do and will do. 2 Th. 3:4
And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God and the patience of Christ. 2 Th. 3:5
And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the tradition which they have received of us. 2 Th. 3:6
Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing: but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you. 2 Th. 3:8
But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 2 Th. 3:13
Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all. 2 Th. 3:16
The salutation of Paul with my own hand: which is the sign in every epistle. So I write. 2 Th. 3:17
To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Tim. 1:2
Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which furnish questions rather than the edification of God which is in faith. 1 Tim. 1:4
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
Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 1:14
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
For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. 1 Tim. 2:2
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 1 Tim. 2:3
Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times. 1 Tim. 2:6
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
In like manner, women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire: 1 Tim. 2:9
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 1 Tim. 2:11
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. 1 Tim. 2:12
And Adam was not seduced; but the woman, being seduced, was in the transgression. 1 Tim. 2:14
Yet she shall be saved through child bearing; if she continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety. 1 Tim. 2:15
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity. 1 Tim. 3:4
Deacons in like manner: chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre: 1 Tim. 3:8
Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. 1 Tim. 3:9
The women in like manner: chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things. 1 Tim. 3:11
For they that have ministered well shall purchase to themselves a good degree and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 3:13
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
And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory. 1 Tim. 3:16
¤ Now the Spirit manifestly saith that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error and doctrines of devils, 1 Tim. 4:1
Speaking lies in hypocrisy and having their conscience seared, 1 Tim. 4:2
These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto. 1 Tim. 4:6
For therefore we labour and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful. 1 Tim. 4:10
Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful, in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity. 1 Tim. 4:12
Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. 1 Tim. 4:14
Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all. 1 Tim. 4:15
Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. 1 Tim. 4:16
Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity. 1 Tim. 5:2
But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God and continue in supplications and prayers night and day. 1 Tim. 5:5
For she that liveth in pleasures is dead while she is living. 1 Tim. 5:6
And this give in charge, that they may be blameless. 1 Tim. 5:7
But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry: 1 Tim. 5:11
Let the priests that rule well be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 1 Tim. 5:17
In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. 1 Tim. 5:25
Conflicts of men corrupted in mind and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness. 1 Tim. 6:5
For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith and have entangled themselves in many sorrows. 1 Tim. 6:10
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings and Lord of lords: 1 Tim. 6:15
Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy) 1 Tim. 6:17
To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others, 1 Tim. 6:18
To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life. 1 Tim. 6:19
‡ ¤ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus: 2 Tim. 1:1
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
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
Who hath delivered us and called us by his holy calling, not according to our own works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the world: 2 Tim. 1:9
Hold the form of sound words which thou hast heard of me: in faith and in the love which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 1:13
Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in us. 2 Tim. 1:14
Thou knowest this, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me: of whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes. 2 Tim. 1:15
The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest. 2 Tim. 1:18
¤ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in Christ Jesus: 2 Tim. 2:1
Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding. 2 Tim. 2:7
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
Of these things put them in mind, charging them before the Lord. Contend not in words: for it is to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 2 Tim. 2:14
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth: and some indeed unto honour, but some unto dishonour. 2 Tim. 2:20
¤ Know also this, that in the last days shall come dangerous times. 2 Tim. 3:1
Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 2 Tim. 3:8
And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Tim. 3:12
But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned and which have been committed to thee. Knowing of whom thou hast learned them: 2 Tim. 3:14
And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 3:15
All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice: 2 Tim. 3:16
Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. 2 Tim. 4:2
But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober. 2 Tim. 4:5
As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. 2 Tim. 4:8
But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour: Tit. 1:3
For this cause I left thee in Crete: that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee: Tit. 1:5
Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to convince the gainsayers. Tit. 1:9
This testimony is true. Wherefore, rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith: Tit. 1:13
They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him: being abominable and incredulous and to every good work reprobate. Tit. 1:16
That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience. Tit. 2:2
The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well: Tit. 2:3
Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober. Tit. 2:6
In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity, Tit. 2:7
Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters: in all things pleasing, not gainsaying: Tit. 2:9
Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Tit. 2:10
Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world, Tit. 2:12
For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. Tit. 3:3
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
And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be not unfruitful. Tit. 3:14
All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in the faith. The grace of God be with you all. Amen. Tit. 3:15
And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house. Ph'm 1:2
I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers. Ph'm 1:4
Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus and towards all the saints: Ph'm 1:5
That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work that is in you in Christ Jesus. Ph'm 1:6
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
I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus, Ph'm 1:10
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
Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me. But how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord? Ph'm 1:16
And if he hath wronged thee in any thing or is in thy debt, put that to my account. Ph'm 1:18
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
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus: Ph'm 1:23
‡ ¤ God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all, Heb. 1:1
In these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world. Heb. 1:2
And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him. Heb. 1:6
And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens. Heb. 1:10
But one in a certain place hath testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Heb. 2:6
Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him. Heb. 2:8
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
Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil: Heb. 2:14
Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people. Heb. 2:17
For in that wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted he is able to succour them also that are tempted. Heb. 2:18
Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house. Heb. 3:2
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said: Heb. 3:5
But Christ, as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end. Heb. 3:6
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the desert, Heb. 3:8
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
Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God. Heb. 3:12
While it is said: To day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation. Heb. 3:15
And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? Heb. 3:17
And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief. Heb. 3:19
For unto us also it hath been declared in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard. Heb. 4:2
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
For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works. Heb. 4:4
And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest. Heb. 4:5
Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David; To day, after so long a time as it is above said: To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Heb. 4:7
Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is. Heb. 4:13
For we have not a high priest who cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin. Heb. 4:15
Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy and find grace in seasonable aid. Heb. 4:16
¤ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: Heb. 5:1
As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. Heb. 5:6
Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence. Heb. 5:7
For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child. Heb. 5:13
For the earth, that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God. Heb. 6:7
For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do minister to the saints. Heb. 6:10
That by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us. Heb. 6:18
Which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and which entereth in even within the veil: Heb. 6:19
And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes paid tithes in Abraham: Heb. 7:9
For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him. Heb. 7:10
For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. Heb. 7:14
For the law brought nothing to perfection: but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God. Heb. 7:19
Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, in offering himself. Heb. 7:27
¤ Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such an high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of majesty in the heavens, Heb. 8:1
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
Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old is near its end. Heb. 8:13
Having a golden censer and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna and the rod of Aaron that had blossomed and the tables of the testament. Heb. 9:4
Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks, Heb. 9:9
For where there is a testament the death of the testator must of necessity come in. Heb. 9:16
The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood. Heb. 9:21
For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us. Heb. 9:24
But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year: Heb. 10:3
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
In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law. Heb. 10:8
In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once. Heb. 10:10
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
Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the holies by the blood of Christ: Heb. 10:19
Let us draw near with a true heart, in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with clean water. Heb. 10:22
And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations, were made a gazingstock; and on the other, became companions of them that were used in such sort. Heb. 10:33
For you both had compassion on them that were in bands and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance. Heb. 10:34
By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. Heb. 11:9
For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. Heb. 11:12
(To whom it was said: In Isaac shalt thy seed be called:) Heb. 11:18
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners. Heb. 11:34
They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted: Heb. 11:37
Of whom the world was not worthy: wandering in deserts, in mountains and in dens and in caves of the earth. Heb. 11:38
For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. Heb. 12:3
And to the church of the firstborn who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, Heb. 12:23
And in that he saith: Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable. Heb. 12:27
¤ Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you. Heb. 13:1
Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them: and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body. Heb. 13:3
Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Heb. 13:4
Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them. Heb. 13:9
Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things. Heb. 13:18
And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament, Heb. 13:20
Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. Heb. 13:21
And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words. Heb. 13:22
And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing. Jas. 1:4
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. Jas. 1:6
A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways. Jas. 1:8
But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation: Jas. 1:9
And the rich, in his being low: because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away. Jas. 1:10
For the sun rose with a burning heat and parched the grass: and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished. So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Jas. 1:11
For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass. Jas. 1:23
But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work: this man shall be blessed in his deed. Jas. 1:25
Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep one's self unspotted from this world. Jas. 1:27
For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel; and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire: Jas. 2:2
Hearken, my dearest brethren: Hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him? Jas. 2:5
And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all. Jas. 2:10
And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? Jas. 2:16
So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself. Jas. 2:17
And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers and sending them out another way? Jas. 2:25
For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body. Jas. 3:2
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge, among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom. Jas. 3:13
But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contention in your hearts: glory not and be not liars against the truth. Jas. 3:14
And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace. Jas. 3:18
¤ From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members? Jas. 4:1
Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you? Jas. 4:5
Be humbled in the sight of the Lord: and he will exalt you. Jas. 4:10
But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked. Jas. 4:16
¤ Go to now, ye rich men: weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you. Jas. 5:1
You have feasted upon earth: and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of slaughter. Jas. 5:5
Take, my brethren, for an example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Jas. 5:10
Is any of you sad? Let him pray: Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing. Jas. 5:13
Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. Jas. 5:14
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man. And the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. Jas. 5:15
Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot fade, reserved in heaven for you, 1 Pet. 1:4
Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Pet. 1:5
Wherein you shalt greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations: 1 Pet. 1:6
Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now though you see him not, you believe and, believing, shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified; 1 Pet. 1:8
Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you. 1 Pet. 1:10
Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify, when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ and the glories that should follow. 1 Pet. 1:11
Wherefore, having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Pet. 1:13
But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy: 1 Pet. 1:15
And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one's work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here. 1 Pet. 1:17
Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you: 1 Pet. 1:20
Who through him are faithful in God who raised him up from the dead and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Pet. 1:21
Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly: 1 Pet. 1:22
Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him shall not be confounded. 1 Pet. 2:6
Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy: but now have obtained mercy. 1 Pet. 2:10
Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Pet. 2:12
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. 1 Pet. 2:22
Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. 1 Pet. 2:24
¤ In like manner also, let wives be subject to their husbands: that, if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives, 1 Pet. 3:1
But the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit which is rich in the sight of God. 1 Pet. 3:4
For after this manner heretofore, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: 1 Pet. 3:5
And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: 1 Pet. 3:8
But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. 1 Pet. 3:15
But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 1 Pet. 3:16
Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, 1 Pet. 3:18
In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison: 1 Pet. 3:19
Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. 1 Pet. 3:20
¤ Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sins: 1 Pet. 4:1
That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men but according to the will of God. 1 Pet. 4:2
For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings and unlawful worshipping of idols. 1 Pet. 4:3
For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: That they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh: but may live according to God, in the Spirit. 1 Pet. 4:6
But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore and watch in prayers. 1 Pet. 4:7
If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Pet. 4:11
But, if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God in that name. 1 Pet. 4:16
Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator. 1 Pet. 4:19
¤ The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech who am myself also an ancient and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: 1 Pet. 5:1
In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another: for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace. 1 Pet. 5:5
Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation: 1 Pet. 5:6
Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls, your brethren who are in the world. 1 Pet. 5:9
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you and confirm you and establish you. 1 Pet. 5:10
The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you. And so doth my son, Mark. 1 Pet. 5:13
Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen. 1 Pet. 5:14
‡ ¤ Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ: to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 1:1
Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Pet. 1:2
By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world. 2 Pet. 1:4
And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue: And in virtue, knowledge: 2 Pet. 1:5
And in knowledge, abstinence: and in abstinence, patience: and in patience, godliness: 2 Pet. 1:6
And in godliness, love of brotherhood: and in love of brotherhood, charity. 2 Pet. 1:7
For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 1:8
For which cause, I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them and are confirmed in the present truth. 2 Pet. 1:12
But I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance. 2 Pet. 1:13
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. 2 Pet. 1:17
And this voice, we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. 2 Pet. 1:18
And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts. 2 Pet. 1:19
¤ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers who shall bring in sects of perdition and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 Pet. 2:1
And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly. 2 Pet. 2:5
For in sight and hearing he was just, dwelling among them who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works. 2 Pet. 2:8
And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government: audacious, self willed, they fear not to bring in sects, blaspheming. 2 Pet. 2:10
Whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment. 2 Pet. 2:11
But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption: 2 Pet. 2:12
Receiving the reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts with you: 2 Pet. 2:13
For, speaking proud words of vanity, they allure by the desires of fleshly riotousness those who for a little while escape, such as converse in error: 2 Pet. 2:18
For if, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former. 2 Pet. 2:20
For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit; and: The sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 2 Pet. 2:22
¤ Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which, I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind: 2 Pet. 3:1
Knowing this first: That in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2 Pet. 3:3
But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men. 2 Pet. 3:7
But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence and the elements shall be melted with heat and the earth and the works which are in it shall be burnt up. 2 Pet. 3:10
Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness? 2 Pet. 3:11
But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth. 2 Pet. 3:13
Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace. 2 Pet. 3:14
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 2 Pet. 3:16
But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity, Amen. 2 Pet. 3:18
And this is the declaration which we have heard from him and declare unto you: That God is light and in him there is no darkness. 1 Jn. 1:5
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. 1 Jn. 1:6
But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another: And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 Jn. 1:7
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1 Jn. 1:8
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar: and his word is not in us. 1 Jn. 1:10
He who saith that he knoweth him and keepeth not his commandments is a liar: and the truth is not in him. 1 Jn. 2:4
But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him. 1 Jn. 2:5
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. 1 Jn. 2:6
Again a new commandment I write unto you: which thing is true both in him and in you, because the darkness is passed and the true light now shineth. 1 Jn. 2:8
He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is in darkness even until now. 1 Jn. 2:9
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light: and there is no scandal in him. 1 Jn. 2:10
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth: because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 Jn. 2:11
I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one. 1 Jn. 2:14
Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. 1 Jn. 2:15
For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 Jn. 2:16
As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. 1 Jn. 2:24
And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you: but as his unction teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him. 1 Jn. 2:27
And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear we may have confidence and not be confounded by him at his coming. 1 Jn. 2:28
And every one that hath this hope in him sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy. 1 Jn. 3:3
And you know that he appeared to take away our sins: and in him there is no sin. 1 Jn. 3:5
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: and whosoever sinneth hath not seen him nor known him. 1 Jn. 3:6
Whosoever is born of God committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him. And he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 Jn. 3:9
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother. 1 Jn. 3:10
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. 1 Jn. 3:14

And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 Jn. 3:24
By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 1 Jn. 4:2
And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God. And this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh: and he is now already in the world. 1 Jn. 4:3
You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 Jn. 4:4
In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. 1 Jn. 4:10

And we have known and have believed the charity which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity abideth in God, and God in him. 1 Jn. 4:16
In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world. 1 Jn. 4:17
Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth is not perfected in charity. 1 Jn. 4:18
In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep his commandments. 1 Jn. 5:2
And there are Three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one. 1 Jn. 5:7
He that believeth in the Son of God hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. 1 Jn. 5:10
And this is the testimony that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. 1 Jn. 5:11
These things I write to you that you may know that you have eternal life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God. 1 Jn. 5:13

And this is charity: That we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same: 2 Jn. 1:6
For many seducers are gone out into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a seducer and an antichrist. 2 Jn. 1:7
Whosoever revolteth and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son. 2 Jn. 1:9
‡ The Ancient, to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. 3 Jn. 1:1
I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 3 Jn. 1:3
I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 Jn. 1:4
Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church. Whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God: 3 Jn. 1:6
‡ ¤ Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James: to them that are beloved in God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ and called. Jude 1:1

And the angels who kept not their principality but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6
As Sodom and Gomorrha and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. Jude 1:7
In like manner, these men also defile the flesh and despise dominion and blaspheme majesty. Jude 1:8
But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted. Jude 1:10
Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves and have perished in the contradiction of Core. Jude 1:11
These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves: clouds without water, which are carried about by winds: trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots: Jude 1:12
Who told you that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses. Jude 1:18
But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude 1:20
Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting. Jude 1:21
But others save, pulling them out of the fire. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment which is carnal. Jude 1:23

Saying: What thou seest, write in a book and send to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamus and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea. Apoc. 1:11
And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Apoc. 1:13
And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters. Apoc. 1:15
And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two-edged sword. And his face was as the sun shineth in his power. Apoc. 1:16
The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. And the seven candlesticks are the seven churches. Apoc. 1:20
¤ Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: Apoc. 2:1
He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my God. Apoc. 2:7

But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy. Apoc. 3:4

He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God: and he shall go out no more. And I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name. Apoc. 3:12

Behold, I stand at the gate and knock. If any man shall hear my voice and open to me the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him: and he with me. Apoc. 3:20
To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome and am set down with my Father in his throne. Apoc. 3:21

And immediately I was in the spirit. And behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting. Apoc. 4:2
And he that sat was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Apoc. 4:3
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments. And on their heads were crowns of gold. Apoc. 4:4
And in the sight of the throne was, as it were, a sea of glass like to crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind. Apoc. 4:6
¤ And I saw, in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book, written within and without, sealed with seven seals. Apoc. 5:1
And no man was able, neither in heaven nor on earth nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it. Apoc. 5:3
And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing, as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth. Apoc. 5:6
And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book and to open the seals thereof: because thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation: Apoc. 5:9
And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb, benediction and honour and glory and power, for ever and ever. Apoc. 5:13
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: Come and see. And behold a black horse. And he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand. Apoc. 6:5

Saying: Hurt not the earth nor the sea nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads. Apoc. 7:3
After this, I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands. Apoc. 7:9
And one of the ancients answered and said to me: These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? And whence came they? Apoc. 7:13
And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who are come out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Apoc. 7:14

¤ And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour. Apoc. 8:1
And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God: and there were given to them seven trumpets. Apoc. 8:2
And the third part of those creatures died which had life in the sea: and the third part of the ships was destroyed. Apoc. 8:9
And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it: and the night in like manner. Apoc. 8:12
And in those days, men shall seek death and shall not find it. And they shall desire to die: and death shall fly from them. Apoc. 9:6
And they had tails like to scorpions: and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men, five months. And they had over them Apoc. 9:10
A king, the angel of the bottomless pit (whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon, in Latin Exterminans). Apoc. 9:11
Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates. Apoc. 9:14
And thus I saw the horses in the vision. And they that sat on them had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone. Apoc. 9:17
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For, their tails are like to serpents and have heads: and with them they hurt. Apoc. 9:19
And he had in his hand a little book, open. And he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth. Apoc. 10:2
And he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and the things which are therein, and the earth and the things which are in it, and the sea and the things which are therein: That time shall be no longer. Apoc. 10:6
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he hath declared by his servants the prophets. Apoc. 10:7
And I went to the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the book. And he said to me: Take the book and eat it up. And it shall make thy belly bitter: but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. Apoc. 10:9
And I took the book from the hand of the angel and ate it up: and it was in my mouth, sweet as honey. And when I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. Apoc. 10:10
And I will give unto my two witnesses: and they shall prophesy, a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. Apoc. 11:3
And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain. Apoc. 11:5
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: And they have power over waters, to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Apoc. 11:6
And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt: where their Lord also was crucified. Apoc. 11:8
And they of the tribes and peoples and tongues and nations shall see their bodies for three days and a half: and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid in sepulchres. Apoc. 11:9
And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them: Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies saw them. Apoc. 11:12

And the four and twenty ancients who sit on their seats in the sight of God, fell on their faces and adored God, Apoc. 11:16
And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and an earthquake and great hail. Apoc. 11:19
¤ And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Apoc. 12:1
And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in pain to be delivered. Apoc. 12:2
And there was seen another sign in heaven. And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and on his heads seven diadems. Apoc. 12:3
And there was a great battle in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought, and his angels. Apoc. 12:7
And they prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. Apoc. 12:8
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night. Apoc. 12:10
And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death's wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast. Apoc. 13:3
And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven. Apoc. 13:6
And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world. Apoc. 13:8
And he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight. And he caused the earth and them that dwell therein to adore the first beast, whose wound to death was healed. Apoc. 13:12
And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth, in the sight of men. Apoc. 13:13
And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which had the wound by the sword and lived. Apoc. 13:14
And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand or on their foreheads: Apoc. 13:16
And in their mouth there was found no lie: for they are without spot before the throne of God. Apoc. 14:5
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image and receive his character in his forehead or in his hand, Apoc. 14:9
He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath: and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. Apoc. 14:10
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours. For their works follow them. Apoc. 14:13
And I saw: and behold a white cloud and upon the cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold and in his hand a sharp sickle. Apoc. 14:14
And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle and reap, because the hour is come to reap. For the harvest of the earth is ripe. Apoc. 14:15
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. Apoc. 14:17
And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire. And he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth, because the grapes thereof are ripe. Apoc. 14:18
And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the earth and gathered the vineyard of the earth and cast it into the great press of the wrath of God: Apoc. 14:19
¤ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful: seven angels having the seven last plagues. For in them is filled up the wrath of God. Apoc. 15:1
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and magnify thy name? For thou only art holy. For all nations shall come and shall adore in thy sight, because thy judgments are manifest. Apoc. 15:4
And after these things, I looked: and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. Apoc. 15:5
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea. And there came blood as it were of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. Apoc. 16:3
And he shall gather them together into a place which in Hebrew is called Armagedon. Apoc. 16:16
And the great city was divided into three parts: and the cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath. Apoc. 16:19
And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Apoc. 17:3
And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication. Apoc. 17:4
The beast which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit and go into destruction. And the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was and is not. Apoc. 17:8
And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: These shall hate the harlot and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and shall burn her with fire. Apoc. 17:16
Render to her as she also hath rendered to you: and double unto her double, according to her works. In the cup wherein she hath mingled, mingle ye double unto her. Apoc. 18:6
As much as she hath glorified herself and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her. Because she saith in her heart: I sit a queen and am no widow: and sorrow I shall not see. Apoc. 18:7
Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine. And she shall be burnt with the fire: because God is strong, who shall judge her. Apoc. 18:8
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived in delicacies with her, shall weep and bewail themselves over her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning: Apoc. 18:9
Standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come. Apoc. 18:10
For in one hour are so great riches come to nought. And every shipmaster and all that sail into the lake, and mariners, and as many as work in the sea, stood afar off, Apoc. 18:17
And they cast dust upon their heads and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices. For, in one hour she is made desolate. Apoc. 18:19
And the voice of harpers and of musicians and of them that play on the pipe and on the trumpet shall no more be heard at all in thee: and no craftsman of any art whatsoever shall be found any more at all in thee: and the sound of the mill shall be heard no more at all in thee: Apoc. 18:22
And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee: and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth: for all nations have been deceived by thy enchantments. Apoc. 18:23
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all that were slain upon the earth. Apoc. 18:24
¤ After these things, I heard as it were the voice of much people in heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation and glory and power is to our God. Apoc. 19:1
And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Apoc. 19:14
And I saw an angel standing in the sun: and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God: Apoc. 19:17
¤ And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Apoc. 20:1
And I saw seats. And they sat upon them: and judgment was given unto them. And the souls of them that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God and who had not adored the beast nor his image nor received his character on their foreheads or in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Apoc. 20:4
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection. In these the second death hath no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ: and shall reign with him a thousand years. Apoc. 20:6
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing in the presence of the throne. And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which was the book of life. And the dead were judged by those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Apoc. 20:12
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it: and death and hell gave up their dead that were in them. And they were judged, every one according to their works. Apoc. 20:13
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the pool of fire. Apoc. 20:15
But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Apoc. 21:8
And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain: and he shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, Apoc. 21:10
And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. Apoc. 21:12
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations: And in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, Apoc. 21:14
And the city lieth in a four-square: and the length thereof is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand furlongs: and the length and the height and the breadth thereof are equal. Apoc. 21:16
And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it: and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. Apoc. 21:23
And the nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it. Apoc. 21:24
There shall not enter into it any thing defiled or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie: but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb. Apoc. 21:27
In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month: the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations. Apoc. 22:2
And there shall be no curse any more: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it. And his servants shall serve him. Apoc. 22:3
Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life and may enter in by the gates into the city. Apoc. 22:14
I, Jesus, have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star. Apoc. 22:16
For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. Apoc. 22:18
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book. Apoc. 22:19
in me thou shalt shew al thy goodnes because thou shalt saue me vnworthie according to thy great mercie, Man. 1:14
‡ ¤ AND Iosias made a Pasch in Ierusalem to our Lord & immolated the Phase the fourtenth moone of the moneth: (4 Kings 23:21/ 2 Par. 35:1) 3 Esd. 1:1
appointing the Priestes by courses of dayes clothed with stoles in the temple of our Lord. 3 Esd. 1:2
And he spake to the Leuites the sacred seruantes of Isreal, that they should sanctifie them selues to our Lord in the placing of the holie arke of our Lord in the house, which king Salomon sonne of Dauid built. 3 Esd. 1:3
It shal not be for you to take it vpon your shoulders. And now serue your Lord, and take the care of that nation Israel, in part according to your villages and tribes, 3 Esd. 1:4
according to the writing of Dauid king of Israel, and according to the magnificence of Salomon his sonne, al in the temple, and according to your fathers portion of principalitie, among them that stand in the sight of your brethren the children of Isreal. 3 Esd. 1:5
These thinges were geuen to the people of the kinges goodes according to promisse: and to the priestes for the Phase, sheepe in number two thousand, and calues an hundred. 3 Esd. 1:8
And when these thinges were done in good order, the Priestes an the Leuites stood hauing azymes by tribes. 3 Esd. 1:10
And according to the portions of their fathers principalitie, in the sight of the people they did offer, to our Lord according to those thinges, which were written in the booke of Moyses: 3 Esd. 1:11
and rosted the Phase with fire as it ought: and the hostes they boyled in cauldrons, and in pottes with beneuolence: 3 Esd. 1:12
In that day they celebrated the Phase, and offered hostes vpon the sacrifice of our Lord, according to the precept of king Iosias. 3 Esd. 1:18
and there was not celebrated such a Phase in Isreal, from the times of Samuel the prophet: 3 Esd. 1:20
and al the kinges of Israel did not celebrate such a Phase as Iosias did, and the Priestes, and the Leuites, and the Iewes, and al Israel, that were found in their abode at Ierusalem. 3 Esd. 1:21
In the eightenth yeare, Iosias reigning was the Phase celebrated. 3 Esd. 1:22
And the workes of Iosias were directed in the sight of his Lord in a hart ful of feare: 3 Esd. 1:23
and the thinges concerning him are writen in the ancient times, touching them that sinned, and were irreligous against our Lord aboue al nations, and that sought not the wordes of our Lord vpon Israel. 3 Esd. 1:24
And after al this fact of Iosias, came vp Pharao the king of AEgypt comming in Charcamis from the way vpon Euphrates, and Iosias went forth to meete him. (4 Kings 23:29/ 2 Par. 35:20) 3 Esd. 1:25
I was not sent of the Lord to fight against thee: for my battel is vpon Euphrates, goe downe in hast. 3 Esd. 1:27
but he made battel against him in the field of Mageddo. And princes went downe to king Iosias. 3 Esd. 1:29
And he went vp into his second chariote: & comming to Ierusalem, dyed, and was buried in his fathers sepulchre. 3 Esd. 1:31
And in al Iurie they mourned for Iosias, & the rulers with their wiues lamented him vntil this day. And this was geuen out to be done alwayes vnto al the stocke of Israel. 3 Esd. 1:32
But these thinges were writen before in the booke of the histories of the kinges of Iuda: and al the actes of the doing of Iosias, and his glorie and his vnderstanding in the law of our Lord: and the thinges that were done by him, and that are not writen in the booke of the kinges of Israel and Iuda. 3 Esd. 1:33
And he reigned ouer Israel three monethes. And the king of AEgypt remoued him, that he should not reigne in Ierusalem: 3 Esd. 1:35
Ioacim was fiue and twentie yeares old when he began to reigne in the land of Iuda and Ierusalem: and he did euil in the sight of our Lord. 3 Esd. 1:39
And Nabuchodonosor tooke the sacred vessels of our Lord, and carried away, and consecrated them in his temple in Babylon. 3 Esd. 1:41
For his vncleanes, and lacke of religion is written in the booke of the times of the kinges. 3 Esd. 1:42
And reigned three monethes and ten dayes in Ierusalem, and did euil in the sight of our Lord: 3 Esd. 1:44
And he did euil in the sight of our Lord, and was not afraid of the wordes which were spoken by Ieremie the prophet from the mouth of our Lord: (Jer. 37:2) 3 Esd. 1:47
But they scorned at his messengers: and in the day that our Lord spake to them, they were mocking his prophetes. 3 Esd. 1:51
And they were his seruants vntil the Persians reigned in the fulfilling of the word of our Lord by the mouth of Ieremie: (Jer. 25:12/ Jer. 29:10/ Dan. 9:2) 3 Esd. 1:57
as long as the land quietly kept her sabbathes, al the time of her desolation she sabbathized in the application of seuentie yeares. 3 Esd. 1:58
our Lord raysed vp the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and he proclaymed in al his kingdomes, and that by writing, 3 Esd. 2:2
and hath signified to me to build him a house in Ierusalem, which is in Iurie. 3 Esd. 2:4
Whosoeuer therefore dwel about the places, let them helpe them that are in the same place, in gold and siluer, 3 Esd. 2:6
in giftes, with horses, and beastes, and with other thinges which by vowes are added into the temple of our Lord, which is in Ierusalem. 3 Esd. 2:7
And the princes of the tribes, of the villages and of Iurie, of the tribe of Beniamin, & the Priestes, and the Leuites standing vp, whom our Lord moued to goe vp, and to build the house of our Lord which is in Ierusalem, and they that were round about them, 3 Esd. 2:8
But in the times of Artaxerxes king of the Persians, there wrote to him of them that dwelt in Iurie and Ierusalem, Balsamus, and Mithridatus, and Sabellius, and Rathimus, Balthemus, Sabellius scribe, and the rest dweling in Samaria, and other places the epistle folowing to king Artaxerxes. (1 Esd. 4:7) 3 Esd. 2:16
SIR, thy seruantes Rathimus ouer occurrentes, and Sabellius the scribe, and the other iudges of thy court in Caelesyria, and Phenice. 3 Esd. 2:17
And because that is in doing about the temple, we thought it should doe wel not to neglect this same thing: 3 Esd. 2:20
but to make it knowen to our Lord the king, that if it shal seme good, o king it may be sought in the bookes of thy fathers, 3 Esd. 2:21
and thou shalt find in the recordes, thinges writen of these, and thou shalt know that this citie hath bene rebellious, and trubling kinges, and cities, 3 Esd. 2:22
and the Iewes rebelles, & making battels in it from time out of mind, for the which cause this citie was made desolate. 3 Esd. 2:23
Then wrote the king to Rathimus, the writer of the occurrentes, and to Balthemus, and to Sabellius the scribe, and to the rest ioyned with them, and to the dwellers in Syria, and Phenice, as foloweth: 3 Esd. 2:25
and the men rebelles, and making battels in it, & there were most valient kinges ruling in Ierusalem, and exacting tributes in Caelesyria, & Phenice. 3 Esd. 2:27
Then these things being read which were writen of king Artaxerxes, Rathimus, and Sabellius the scribe, and they that were apointed with them ioyning together in hast came to Ierusalem with a troupe of horsemen, and multitude, & companie: 3 Esd. 2:30
and they begane to forbid the builders, and they ceased from building of the temple in Ierusalem, til in the second yeare of the reigne of Darius king of the Persians. 3 Esd. 2:31
to be couered with purple, & to drinke in gold, and to sleepe vpon gold, & a chariote with a bridle of gold, & a bonet of silke, and a cheyne about his necke: 3 Esd. 3:6
and he shal sit in the second place next Darius for his wisdome. And he shal be called the cosin of Darius. 3 Esd. 3:7
and they sate in the councel: and the writinges were read before them. 3 Esd. 3:15
And he sayd: Cal the youngmen, and they shal declare their owne wordes. And they were called, and went in. 3 Esd. 3:16
O ye men doe not the men excel, which obteyne land and sea, and al thinges that are in them? 3 Esd. 4:2
In like maner also al others, for so many as are not souldiars, nor fight, but til the ground: when they shal reape, againe they bring tributes to the king. 3 Esd. 4:6
and seeth a lyon, and goeth in darkenes: and when he hath committed theft, and fraude, and spoyles, he bringeth it to his beloued. 3 Esd. 4:24
And now beleue me, that the king is great in his powre: because al countries are afrayd to touch him. 3 Esd. 4:28
O ye men, are not wemen strong? The earth is great and heauen is high: & the swift course of the sunne turneth the heauen round into his place in one day. 3 Esd. 4:34
Wine is vniust, the king is vniust, wemen are vniust, al the sonnes of men are vniust, and al their workes are vniust, and in them is not truth, and they shal perish in their iniquitie: 3 Esd. 4:37
Neither is there with it acception of persons, nor differences: but the thinges that are iust it doth to al men, to the vniust and malignant, and al men are wel pleased in the workes thereof. 3 Esd. 4:39
And there is no vniust thing in the iudgement therof, but strength, and reigne, and power, and maiestie of worldes. Blessed be the God of truth. 3 Esd. 4:40
Then sayd he to the king: Be midful of thy vow, which thou hast vowed, to build Ierusalem in the day that thou didst receiue the kingdom: 3 Esd. 4:43

Where are the benefites, that I haue geuen you? Did you not crie out to me when you were hungrie in the desert, 4 Esd. 1:17
saying: Why hast thou brought vs into this desert to kil vs? it had bene better for vs to serue the AEgyptians, then to dye in this desert. (Num. 14) 4 Esd. 1:18
When you thirsted did not I cleaue the rocke, & waters flowed in abundance? for the heates I couered you with the leaues of trees. 4 Esd. 1:20
Thus sayth our Lord omnipotent: In the desert when you were thirstie in the riuer of the Amorrheites, and blasphemeing my name, (Ex. 15:25) 4 Esd. 1:22
I cal to witnes the grace of the people comming, whose litle ones reioyce with ioy, not seing me with their carnal eyes, but in spirit beleuing the thinges that I haue sayd. 4 Esd. 1:37
whose land lieth in cloddes of pitch, & heapes of ashes: so wil I make them, that haue not heard me, saith our Lord omnipotent. 4 Esd. 2:9
And I wil raise againe the dead out of their places, and out of the monumentes I wil bring them forth, because I haue knowen my name in Israel. 4 Esd. 2:16
and as manie fountaines flowing milke and honie: and seuen huge mountaines, hauing the rose and the lilie, in the which I wil fil thy children with ioy. (Ex. 15:27) 4 Esd. 2:19
The old man & the yong keepe with in thy walles: 4 Esd. 2:22
where thou shalt finde the dead, committe them to the graue signing it, & I wil geue thee the first seate in my resurrection. (Tob. 1:20) 4 Esd. 2:23
I Esdras receiued commandment of our Lord, in mount Oreb; that I should goe to Israel: to whom when I came, they refused me, and reiected the commandement of our Lord. 4 Esd. 2:33
And therfore, I say vnto you gentiles, which heare, and vnderstand, Looke for your pastor, he wil geue you the rest of eternitie: because he is at hand, that shal come in the end of the world. 4 Esd. 2:34
Arise, & stand & see the number of them that are signed in the feast of our Lord. 4 Esd. 2:38
I Esdras saw in mount Sion a great multiude, which I could not number, and they did al prayse our Lord with songes. (Apoc. 7:9) 4 Esd. 2:42
And in the middes of them was a young man high of stature, appearing aboue ouer them al, & he put crownes vpon euerie one of their heades, and he was more exalted. And I was astonied at the miracle. 4 Esd. 2:43
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 him thou didst command to loue thy way, and he transgressed it, & forth with thou didst institute death in him, and in his posteritie, and there were borne nations, and tribes, and peoples, and kindreds, wherof there is no number. 4 Esd. 3:7
And euerie nation walked in their owne wil, & they did meruelous thinges before thee, and despised thy preceptes. 4 Esd. 3:8
And agane in time thou broughst in the floud vpon inhabitantes of the world, and didst destroy them. (Gen. 7) 4 Esd. 3:9
And there was made in euery one of them, as vnto Adam to dye, so to them the floud, 4 Esd. 3:10
And thou didst not take away from them a malignant hart, that thy law might bring forth fruite in them. 4 Esd. 3:20
and spakest vnto him to build a citie of thy name, and to offer vnto thee in it frankencense, and oblations. 4 Esd. 3:24
in al things as Adam and al his generations. For they also vsed a wicked hart. 4 Esd. 3:26
Now therfore wey our iniquities in a ballance, and theirs that dwel in the world: & thy name shal not be found, but in Israel. 4 Esd. 3:34
Or when haue not they sinned in thy sight, that inhabite the earth? or what nation hath so obserued thy commandmentes? 4 Esd. 3:35
and sayd to me: Thy hart exceding hath exceded in this world, & thou thinkest to comprehend the way of the Highest. 4 Esd. 4:2
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
and how can thy vessel comprehend the way of the Highest, and now the world being outwardly corrupted, vnderstand the corruption euident in my sight: 4 Esd. 4:11
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 in like maner the waues of the sea they also deuised a deuise, and sayd: Come let vs goe vp, let vs ouerthrow the woodes of the filde, that there also we may consummate an other countrie for our selues. 4 Esd. 4:15
and can not comprehend the thinges which in times to come are promised to the iust: because this world is ful of iniustice and infirmities. 4 Esd. 4:27
Because the grayne of il seede hath bene sowen in the hart of Adam from the beginning: and how much impietie hath it ingendered vntil now, and doth ingender vntil the floore come? 4 Esd. 4:30
And he answered me, and sayd to me, Hasten not aboue the Highest. For thou doest hasten in vaine to be aboue him, for thy excesse is much. 4 Esd. 4:34
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 Ieremiel the Archangel answered to those things, and sayd: When the number of the sedes in you shal be filled, because he hath weyed the world in a balance, 4 Esd. 4:36
and with a measure hath he measured the times, and in number he hath numbered the times, and hath not moued, nor stirred them, vntil the foresayd measure be filled. 4 Esd. 4:37
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
For as she that is: In trauail maketh hast, to escape the necessitie of trauailing: so this also hasteneth to render those thinges which are commended to it. 4 Esd. 4:42
And these thinges there passed before me a clowd ful of water, and with violence casting in much raine: and when the violence of raine was cast, the droppes therin ouercame. 4 Esd. 4:49
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
¤ BVT concerning signes: behold the dayes shal come, wherin they that inhabite the earth shal be taken in a great number: and the way of truth shal be hid: and the countrie shal be barren from fayth. 4 Esd. 5:1
And iniustice shal be multiplied aboue that which thy self seest, & aboue that which thou hast heard in time past. (Matt. 24) 4 Esd. 5:2
And if the Highest geue thee life, thou shalt see after the third trumpet, and the sunne shal sodenly shine agayne in the night, and the moone thrise in a day, 4 Esd. 5:4
& the sea of Sodom shal cast the fishes, and shal make a noise in the night, which manie knew not, and al shal heare the voice therof, 4 Esd. 5:7
and there shal be made a confusion in manie places, and the fire shal often be sent backe, and the sauage beastes shal goe to other places, and wemen in their monethlie flowers shal bring forth monsters, 4 Esd. 5:8
and in swete waters shal salt waters be found, and al frendes shal ouerthrow one an other: and then shal witte be hid, and vnderstanding shal be separated into his cellar: 4 Esd. 5:9
And it shal be in that time, men shal hope, and shal not obtaine: they shal labour, and their wayes shal not haue successe. 4 Esd. 5:12
and the Angel that came, that spake in me, held me, and strengthened me, and sette me vpon my feete. 4 Esd. 5:15
And it came to passe in the second night, and Salathiel the prince of the people came to me, and sayd to me: Where wast thou? and why is thy countenance heauie? 4 Esd. 5:16
Knowest thou not that Isreal is committed to thee in the countrie of their transmigration? 4 Esd. 5:17
Rise vp therfore, and taste bread, and forsake vs not, as the pastour his flocke in the hand of wicked wolues. 4 Esd. 5:18
And now Lord, why hast thou deliuered one vnto manie? And thou hast perpared vpon one roote others, and hast dispersed thy onlie one in manie: 4 Esd. 5:28
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 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 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 he answered me, and sayd: The creature can not hasten aboue the Creatour, nor the world sustayne them that are to be created in it, at once. 4 Esd. 5:44
And she also wil say vnto thee: They that are borne in the youth of streingth are of one sort, and they of an other, that are borne about the time of old age, when the matrice fayleth. 4 Esd. 5:53
¤ AND he sayd to me: In the beginning of the earthlie world, and before the endes of the world stood, and before the congregation of the windes did blow, (Prov. 8) 4 Esd. 6:1
and before the heightes of the ayre were aduanced, and before the measures of the firmaments were named, and before the chymneies were hote in Sion, 4 Esd. 6:4
And it shal be in that time, freindes as enimies shal ouerthrow freindes, and the earth shal be afrayd with them: & the vaynes of fountaynes shal stand, and shal not runne in three howres: 4 Esd. 6:24
And it 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 in the second day thou didst create the spirit of the firmament, and commandest it to diuide, and to make a diuision betwen the waters, that a certayn part should depart vpward, and part should remaine beneth. 4 Esd. 6:41
And in the third day thou didst command the waters to be gathered together in the seuenth part of the earth: but sixe partes thou didst drie and preserue, that of them might be seruing before thee thinges sowen of God, and tilled. 4 Esd. 6:42
For sodenly came forth fruite of multitude infinite, and diurse tastes of concupiscence, and flowers of vnchangeable colour, and odours of vnsearcheable smel, and in the third day these thinges were made. 4 Esd. 6:44
And in the fourth day thou didst command to be made the brightnesse of the sunne, the light of the moone, the disposition of the starres: 4 Esd. 6:45
And in the fifth day: thou saydst to the seuenth part, where the water was gathered together, that it should bring forth beastes, and foules, and fishes: and so was it done, 4 Esd. 6:47
And in the sixt day thou didst command the earth, to create before thee cattel, and beastes, and creeping creatures: 4 Esd. 6:53
And I sayd: Speake my God. And he sayd to me: The sea is set in a large place, that it might be deepe and wide: 4 Esd. 7:3
but the entrance to it shal be set in a straict place, that it might be like to riuers. 4 Esd. 7:4
Also an other thing: A citie is built, and set in a plaine place, and it is ful of al goodes. 4 Esd. 7:6
The entrance therof narrow, and set in a stepe place, so that on the right hand there was fire, & on the left depe water: 4 Esd. 7:7
If then they that liue entring in enter into these streite and vayne thinges: they can not receiue the thinges that are layd vp. 4 Esd. 7:14
And why hast thou not taken in thy hart that which is to come, but that which is present? 4 Esd. 7:16
and dispised his law, and denyed his couenaunces, and had not fidelitie in his ordinances, and did not accomplish his workes. 4 Esd. 7:24
For my sonne IESVS shal be reueled with them that are with him, and they shal be merie that are leaft in the foure hundred yeares. 4 Esd. 7:28
and the world shal be turned into the old silence seuen dayes, as in the former iudgementes, so that none shal be leaft. 4 Esd. 7:30
and the earth shal render the thinges that sleepe in it, & the dust them that dwel in it with silence, and the cellars shal render the soules that are commended to them. 4 Esd. 7:32
Look on this side and on that: here is delight and rest, and there fire and torments. Thus shall he speak unto them in the day of judgement: 4 Esd. 7:38
For an evil heart hath grown up in us, which hath led us astray from these statutes, and hath brought us into corruption and into the ways of death, hath shewed us the paths of perdition and removed us far from life; and that, not a few only, but well nigh all that have been created. 4 Esd. 7:48
What then will they have to say in the judgement, or how will they answer in the last times? 4 Esd. 7:73
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
these spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall wander and be in torments forthwith, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 4 Esd. 7:80
The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 4 Esd. 7:84
The seventh way, which is more grievous than all the aforesaid ways, because they shall pine away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall be withered up by fears, seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they have sinned whilst living, and before whom they shall be judged in the last times. 4 Esd. 7:87
In the time that they dwelt therin they painfully served the Most High, and were in jeopardy every hour, that they might keep the law of the lawgiver perfectly. 4 Esd. 7:89
First of all they shall see with great joy the glory of him who taketh them up, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 4 Esd. 7:91
The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaiteth them. 4 Esd. 7:93
The third order, they see the witness which he that fashioned them beareth concerning them, that while they lived they kept the law which was given them in trust. 4 Esd. 7:94
The fourth order, they understand the rest which, being gathered in their chambers, they now enjoy with great quietness, guarded by angels, and the glory that awaiteth them in the last days. 4 Esd. 7:95
The seventh order, which is greater than all the aforesaid orders, because they shall rejoice with confidence, and because they shall be bold without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom in their lifetime they served, and from whom they shall receive their reward in glory. 4 Esd. 7:98
And he said, Their freedom shall be for seven days, that for seven days they may see the things whereof thou hast been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered together in their habitations. 4 Esd. 7:101
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
so never shall any one pray for another in that day, neither shall one lay a burden on another, for then shall all bear every one his own righteousness or unrighteousness. 4 Esd. 7:105
And I sayd: First Abraham prayed for the Sodomites, and Moyses for the fathers that sinned in the desert. (Gen. 18/ Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 7:106
And they that were after him for Isreal in the dayes of Achaz, and of Samuel, 4 Esd. 7:107
and Ezechias for the people in the dayes of Sennacherib, and manie for manie. (4 Kings 19:15) 4 Esd. 7:110
And he answered me and sayd: This present world is not the end, much glorie remaineth in it: for this cause they prayed for the impotent. 4 Esd. 7:112
For what doth it profit men presently to liue in sorow, and being dead to hope for punishment? 4 Esd. 7:117
And that the glorie of the Highest is reserued to protect them that haue slowly conuerst: but we haue walked in most wicked wayes. 4 Esd. 7:122
but we shal not enter in: for we haue conuerst in vnlawful places. 4 Esd. 7:124
And I answered, and sayd: I know Lord, that the Highest is called merciful in that, that he hath mercie on them which are not yet come into the world, 4 Esd. 7:132
and that he hath mercie on them which conuerse in his law: 4 Esd. 7:133
And the iudge if he shal not forgeue them that are cured with his word, and wype away a multitude of contentions: there should not perhaps be leaft in an innumerable multitiude, but very few. 4 Esd. 7:139
Manie in deede are created, but few shal be saued. (Matt. 20:16) 4 Esd. 8:3
and as now the bodie made in the matrice, and thou doest geue the members, thy creature is preserued in fire & water: and nine monethes thy workemanship doth suffer thy creature that is created in it: 4 Esd. 8:8
and it self that keepeth, and that which is kept, both shal be preserued: and the matrice being preserued rendreth agayne at some time the thinges that are growen in it. 4 Esd. 8:9
For thou hast, brought him vp in thy iustice, and hast instructed him in thy law, and hast corrected him in thy vnderstanding: 4 Esd. 8:12
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
whose keping is turned in wynde and fire, thou whose word is true, and sayings premanent: 4 Esd. 8:22
Neither doe thou respect the sinnes of thy people, but them that serue thee in truth. 4 Esd. 8:26
Neither thinke thou of them that in thy sight haue conuerst falsly, but remember them that according to thy wil haue knowen thy feare. 4 Esd. 8:28
Neither haue indignation towards them, which are iudged worse then beastes: but loue them that alwayes haue confidence in thy iustice, and glorie. 4 Esd. 8:30
For in truth there is no man of them that be borne, which hath not done impiously, and of them that confesse, which haue not sinned. (3 Kings 8:46 / 2 Par. 6:36) 4 Esd. 8:35
For in this shal thy iustice be declared, and thy goodnes, o Lord, when thou shalt haue mercie on them, that haue no substance of good workes. 4 Esd. 8:36
because I wil not in dede thinke vpon the worke of them that haue sinned before death, before the iudgement, before perdition: 4 Esd. 8:38
For as the husbandman soweth vpon the ground manie seedes, and planteth manie plantes, but not al which were sowen in time, are preserued, nor yet al that were planted, shal take roote: so they also that are sowen in the world, shal not al be saued. (Matt. 13 & 20) 4 Esd. 8:41
As the seede of the husbandman, if it come not vp, or receiue not the rayne in time, if it be corupted with much rayne, perisheth: 4 Esd. 8:43
But in this also thou art meruelous before the Highest, 4 Esd. 8:48
For which cause manie miseries, and miserable thinges shal be done to them that inhabite the world in the later dayes: because they haue walked in much pride. 4 Esd. 8:50
The roote of euil is signed from you: infirmitie, and mothe is hid from you: & corruption is fled into hel in obliuion. 4 Esd. 8:53
Sorowes are past, & the treasure of immortalitie is shewed in the end. 4 Esd. 8:54
and haue sayd in their hart, that there is no God: and that, knowing that they dye. (Ps. 14 & 53) 4 Esd. 8:58
Behold now Lord thou hast shewed me a multitude of signes, which thou wilt beginne to doe in the latter times: but thou hast not shewed me at what time. 4 Esd. 8:63
¤ AND he answered me, and sayd: Measuring measure thou the time in it selfe: and it shal be when thou seest, after a certaine part of the signes which are spoken of before shal passe, 4 Esd. 9:1
And when there shal be sene in the world mouing of places, and truble of peoples, 4 Esd. 9:3
For as al that is made in the world hath a beginning, and also a consummation, and the consummation is manifest: 4 Esd. 9:5
so also the times of the Highest haue the beginning manifest in wonders and powers, and the consummations in worke and in signes. 4 Esd. 9:6
And it shal be, euery one that shal be saued, and that can escape by his workes, and by fayth, in which you haue beleeued, 4 Esd. 9:7
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 then shal they be in miserie, that now haue abused my wayes: and they that haue reiected them in contempt, shal abide in torments. 4 Esd. 9:9
and when as yet place of penance was open to them vnderstoode not, but despised: they must after death in torment know it. 4 Esd. 9:12
For then euery man, and now the creator in this world prepared, and haruest not fayling, and law vnsearchable their manners are corrupted. 4 Esd. 9:19
And I considered the world, and behold there was danger because of the cogitations that came in it. 4 Esd. 9:20
And thou if thou adde yet seuen other dayes, but thou shalt not fast in them, 4 Esd. 9:23
O Lord thou shewing thy selfe to vs, wast shewed to our fathers in the desert, which is not troden, and vnfruitful, when they came out of AEgypt: and saying thou saydst: (Ex. 19 & 24 / Deut. 4) 4 Esd. 9:29
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
For they that receiued it, perished, not keeping that which had bene sowen in them. (Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 9:33
that which was sowne, or cast in, or the thinges that were receiued, are destroyed withal, and the thinges receiued now tarye not with vs: but it is not so done to vs. 4 Esd. 9:35
We in dede that receiued the law, sinning haue perished, and our hart that receiued it: 4 Esd. 9:36
For the law hath not perished, but hath remayned in his labour. (Ezech. 48) 4 Esd. 9:37
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
Why weepest thou? and why art thou sorie in mynde. And she sayd to me: 4 Esd. 9:40
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
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
Now therfore kepe in with thy sorrowe, and beare stoutly the chances that haue befallen thee. 4 Esd. 10:15
For if thou iustifie the end of God, thou shalt in time both receiue his counsel, and also in such thinges thou shalt be praysed. 4 Esd. 10:16
Goe in therfore into the citie to thy husband. And she sayd to me: 4 Esd. 10:17
and our psalter is humbled, and hymne is silent, and our exultation is dissolued, and the light of our candelsticke is extinguished, and the arke of our testament is taken for spoyle, & our holie thinges are contaminated, and the name that is inuocated vpon vs, is almost prophaned: and our children haue suffred contumelie, and our Priestes are burnt, & our Leuites are gone into captiuitie, & our virgins are defloured, and our wiues haue suffered rape, and our iust men are violently taken, and our litle ones are lost, and our yong men are in bondage, and our valiants are made impotent: 4 Esd. 10:22
Where is Vriel the Angel, that from the beginning came to me? for he made me come in multitude in excesse of this minde, and my end is made into corruption, & my prayer into reproch. 4 Esd. 10:28
Because thou hast forsaken me, and I in dede haue done according to thy wordes, & went out into the field: & behold, I haue seene, & doe see that which I cannot vtter. And he sayd to me: 4 Esd. 10:32
Speake thou my Lord in me, forsake me not, that I die not in vaine: 4 Esd. 10:34
And whereas she told thee, that she was barren thirtie yeares: for the which there were thirtie yeares, when there was not yet oblation offered in it. 4 Esd. 10:45
And that which she sayd vnto thee, that she nourished him with labour, this was the habitation in Ierusalem. 4 Esd. 10:47
For therfore did he say to thee, that thou shouldest tarie in a field where house is not built. 4 Esd. 10:51
For the worke of mans building could not be borne in the place, where the citie of the Highest began to be shewed. 4 Esd. 10:54
Thou therfore feare not, neither let thy hart dread: but goe in, and see the beautie, and greatnes of the building, as much as the sight of thyne eyes is capable to see: 4 Esd. 10:55
and the Highest wil shew thee those visions of the thinges on high, which the Highest wil doe to them that inhabite vpon the earth in the later dayes. 4 Esd. 10:59
