And he said to them: Let it be according to your sentence: with whomsoever it shall be found, let him be my servant, and you shall be blameless. Gen. 44:10

While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt. And being angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, he said: Lev. 10:16
Especially, whereas none of the blood thereof hath been carried within the holy places: and you ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, as was commanded me? Lev. 10:18
Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the victim for sin, and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me what thou seest has happened. How could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful heart? Lev. 10:19
But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others: that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean. Lev. 11:4
And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud. Lev. 11:7
These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat. Lev. 11:9
But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth, Lev. 11:21
And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead: he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set. Lev. 11:25
Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled. Lev. 11:26
And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths: or any thing in which work is done. They shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards shall be clean. Lev. 11:32
Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk out of any such vessel, shall be unclean. Lev. 11:34

The man in whose skin or flesh shall arise a different colour or a blister, or as it were something shining, that is the stroke of the leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or any one of his sons. Lev. 13:2
And if he see the leprosy in his skin, and the hair turned white and the place where the leprosy appears lower than the skin and the rest of the flesh: it is the stroke of the leprosy, and upon his judgment he shall be separated. Lev. 13:3
And on the seventh day, he shall look on him. If the leprosy be somewhat obscure, and not spread in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is but a scab: and the man shall wash his clothes, and shall be clean. Lev. 13:6
And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living flesh itself shall appear: Lev. 13:10
It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean: and shall not shut him up, because he is evidently unclean. Lev. 13:11
The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean. Lev. 13:13
Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean. For live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean. Lev. 13:15
And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man: Lev. 13:16
When also there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has been healed: Lev. 13:18
But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it: he shall shut him up seven days. Lev. 13:21
And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy: Lev. 13:22
But if it stay in its place, it is but the scar of an ulcer: and the man shall be clean. Lev. 13:23
The flesh also and skin that hath been burnt, and after it is healed hath a white or a red scar: Lev. 13:24
The priest shall view it, and if he see it turned white, and the place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar. Lev. 13:25
But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it is the sore of a burning: and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it is only the scar of a burning. Lev. 13:28
And if the place be lower than the other flesh, and the hair yellow, and thinner than usual: he shall declare them unclean, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard; Lev. 13:30
But if he perceive the place of the spot is equal with the flesh that is near it, and the hair black: he shall shut him up seven days, Lev. 13:31
And on the seventh day he shall look upon it. If the spot be not grown, and the hair keep its colour, and the place of the blemish be even with the other flesh: Lev. 13:32
The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a white blemish, and that the man is clean. Lev. 13:39
If it be infected with a white or red spot, it shall be accounted the leprosy, and shall be shewn to the priest. Lev. 13:49
And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days. Lev. 13:50
And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find that it is grown, it is a fixed leprosy. He shall judge the garment unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found. Lev. 13:51
And therefore it shall be burnt with fire. Lev. 13:52
But if he see that it is not grown, Lev. 13:53
He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is: and he shall shut it up other seven days. Lev. 13:54
And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean: and shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, or through the whole. Lev. 13:55
But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which is sound. Lev. 13:56
And if after this there appear in those places that before were without spot, a flying and wandering leprosy: it must be burnt with fire. Lev. 13:57
If it cease, he shall wash with water the parts that are pure, the second time: and they shall be clean. Lev. 13:58
This is the law touching the leprosy of any woollen or linen garment, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins: how it ought to be cleaned, or pronounced unclean. Lev. 13:59
Shall command him that is to be purified, to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. Lev. 14:4
Wherewith he shall sprinkle him that is to be cleansed seven times, that he may be rightly purified. And he shall let go the living sparrow, that it may fly into the field. Lev. 14:7
He shall take a lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with the sextary of oil. And having offered all before the Lord, Lev. 14:12
He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For as that which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth to the priest: it is holy of holies. Lev. 14:13
And the priest taking of the blood of the victim that was immolated for trespass, shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot. Lev. 14:14
And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times. Lev. 14:16
And put it on the altar with the libations thereof: and the man shall be rightly cleansed. Lev. 14:20
And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord. Lev. 14:27
He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house, Lev. 14:35
And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, lest all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of the house. Lev. 14:36
And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all the rest: Lev. 14:37
He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days, Lev. 14:38
And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread, Lev. 14:39
But if after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth. Lev. 14:43
The priest going in perceive that the leprosy is returned, and the walls full of spots, it is a lasting leprosy, and the house is unclean. Lev. 14:44
And they shall destroy it forthwith, and shall cast the stones and timber thereof, and all the dust without the town into an unclean place. Lev. 14:45
He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until evening, Lev. 14:46
And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes. Lev. 14:47

And the Lord said to him: This is the land, for which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: I will give it to thy seed. Thou hast seen it with thy eyes, and shalt not pass over to it. Dt. 34:4
‡ ¤ Now it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Josue, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and said to him: Josu. 1:1
Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt divide by lot to this people the land for which I swore to their fathers, that I would deliver it to them. Josu. 1:6
Take courage therefore, and be very valiant: that thou mayst observe and do all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayst understand all things which thou dost. Josu. 1:7
Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it. Josu. 1:8
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
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
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
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 began to proclaim: When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the race of Levi carrying it, rise you up also, and follow them as they go before: Josu. 3:3
And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits: that you may see it afar off, and know which way you must go: for you have not gone this way before: and take care you come not near the ark. Josu. 3:4
And he said to the priests: Take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. And they obeyed his commands, and took it up, and walked before them. Josu. 3:6
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 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
That it may be a sign among you: and when your children shall ask you tomorrow, saying: What mean these stones? Josu. 4:6
You shall answer them: The waters of the Jordan ran off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord when it passed over the same: therefore were these stones set for a monument of the children of Israel forever. Josu. 4:7
But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times. Josu. 6:15
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
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
The Chanaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land, will hear of it, and being gathered together will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name? Josu. 7:9
Israel hath sinned, and transgressed my covenant: and they have taken of the anathema, and have stolen and lied, and have hid it among their goods. Josu. 7:11
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
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
And Josue said to Achan: My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and confess, and tell me what thou hast done, hide it not. Josu. 7:19
And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils, and all the cattle, you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it. Josu. 8:2
And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready. Josu. 8:4
And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall rise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into your hands. Josu. 8:7
And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded. Josu. 8:8
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
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee. Josu. 8:18
And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush, that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it, and set it on fire. Josu. 8:19
And he burnt the city, and made it a heap forever: Josu. 8:28
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
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
They answered: It was told us, thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses, to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives, compelled by the dread we had of you, and we took this counsel. Josu. 9:24
And now we are in thy hand: deal with us as it seemeth good and right unto thee. Josu. 9:25
¤ When Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai and its king) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates, Josu. 10:1
Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel. Josu. 10:4
So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together, went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it. Josu. 10:5
And it was told Josue, that the five kings were found hid in a cave of the city of Maceda. Josu. 10:17
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 he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it: Josu. 10:29
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
From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it. Josu. 10:31
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 he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it, Josu. 10:34
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
He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it: Josu. 10:36
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 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
For it was the sentence of the Lord, that their hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had commanded Moses. Josu. 11:20
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
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
The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day, It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-five years old, Josu. 14:10
And it goeth out towards the ascent of the Scorpion, and passeth on to Sina: and ascendeth into Cadesbarne, and reacheth into Esron, going up to Addar, and compassing Carcaa. Josu. 15:3
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
And it passeth on from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the water of Nephtoa: and reacheth to the towns of mount Ephron: and it bendeth towards Baala, which is Cariathiarim, that is to say, the city of the woods. Josu. 15:9

And Caleb destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac, Sesai and Ahiman, and Tholmai of the race of Enac. Josu. 15:14
And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife. Josu. 15:16
And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Axa his daughter to wife. Josu. 15:17
And goeth down westward, by the border of Jephleti, unto the borders of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gazer: and the countries of it are ended by the great sea: Josu. 16:3
And Manasses and Ephraim the children of Joseph possessed it. Josu. 16:4
And the confines go out unto the sea: but Machmethath looketh to the north, and it goeth round the borders eastward into Thanath-selo: and passeth along on the east side to Janoe. Josu. 16:6
And it goeth down from Janoe into Ataroth and Naaratha: and it cometh to Jericho, and goeth out to the Jordan. Josu. 16:7
From Taphua it passeth on towards the sea into the valley of reeds, and the goings out thereof are at the most salt sea. This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families. Josu. 16:8
And the border of Manasses was from Aser, Machmethath which looketh towards Sichem: and it goeth out on the right hand by the inhabitants of the fountain of Taphua. Josu. 17:7
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
Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out. Josu. 18:4
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 passing along southward by Luza, the same is Bethel, and it goeth down into Ataroth-addar to the mountain, that is on the south of the nether Beth-horon. Josu. 18:13

And It passeth along to the hills that are over against the ascent of Adommim: and it goeth down to Abenboen, that is, the stone of Boen the son of Ruben: and it passeth on the north side to the champaign countries; and goeth down Into the plain, Josu. 18:18
And it passeth by Bethhagla northward: and the outgoings thereof are towards the north of the most salt sea at the south end of the Jordan. Josu. 18:19
Which is the border of it on the east side. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their borders round about, and their families. Josu. 18:20
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 It went up from the sea and from Merala, and came to Debbaseth: as far as the torrent, which is over against Jeconam. Josu. 19:11
And it returneth from Sarid eastward to the borders of Ceseleththabor: and it goeth out to Dabereth and ascendeth towards Japhie. Josu. 19:12
And it passeth along from thence to the east side of Gethhepher and Thacasin: and goeth out to Remmon, Amthar and Noa. Josu. 19:13

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 when the children of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers brought them an account that the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses had built an altar in the land of Chanaan, upon the banks of the Jordan, over against the children of Israel: Josu. 22:11
Is it a small thing to you that you sinned with Beelphegor, and the stain of that crime remaineth in us to this day? and many of the people perished. Josu. 22:17
And if we did it with that mind, that we might lay upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him require and judge: Josu. 22:23
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
And the saying pleased all that heard it. And the children of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession. Josu. 22:33
But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord, Josu. 24:15
And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord. Josu. 24:21
And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord. Josu. 24:26
And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God. Josu. 24:27
And 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
And the children of Juda besieging Jerusalem, took it, and put it to the sword, and set the whole city on fire. Judg. 1:8

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
And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly, Judg. 3:21
With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in the body as he had struck it in: and forthwith, by the secret parts of nature, the excrements of the belly came out. Judg. 3:22
And it was told Sisara, that Barac, the son of Abinoem, was gone up to Mount Thabor: Judg. 4:12
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
Hear, O ye kings, give ear, O ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord, the God of Israel. Judg. 5:3
And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me: Judg. 6:17
And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming. Judg. 6:18
And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face. Judg. 6:22
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
Then Gedeon, taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night. Judg. 6:27
And they said one to another: Who hath done this? And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon, the son of Joas, did all this. Judg. 6:29
I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel. Judg. 6:37
And it was so. And rising before day, wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew. Judg. 6:38
And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. Judg. 6:40
And the number of them that had lapped water; casting it with the hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: and all the rest of the multitude had drunk kneeling. Judg. 7:6
And 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 when Gedeon was come to the Jordan, he passed over it with the three hundred men that were with him: who were so weary that they could not pursue after them that fled. Judg. 8:4
They answered: We will give them most willingly. And spreading a mantle on the ground, they cast upon it the earlets of the spoils. Judg. 8:25
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
And it answered: Can I leave my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, to come to be promoted among the trees? Judg. 9:9
And it answered them: Can I leave my sweetness, and my delicious fruits, and go to be promoted among the other trees? Judg. 9:11
And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees? Judg. 9:13
And it answered them: If, indeed, you mean to make me king, come ye, and rest under my shadow: but if you mean it not, let fire come out from the bramble, and devour the cedars of Libanus. Judg. 9:15
And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech. Judg. 9:25
Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come. Judg. 9:29
And 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
So the day following the people went out into the field. And it was told to Abimelech, Judg. 9:42
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
Went up into mount Selmon, he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder, and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do ye out of hand. Judg. 9:48
So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort, they set it on fire: and so it came to pass, that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem. Judg. 9:49
And Abimelech, coming near the tower, fought stoutly: and, approaching to the gate, endeavoured to set fire to it: Judg. 9:52
And behold, a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull. Judg. 9:53
And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him. Judg. 9:54
And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it. Judg. 12:2
And the angel answered him: If thou press me I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord. Judg. 13:16

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
But if you shall not be able to declare it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of coats. They answered him: Put forth the riddle, that we may hear it. Judg. 14:13
And when the seventh day came, they said to the wife of Samson: Sooth thy husband, and persuade him to tell thee what the riddle meaneth. But if thou wilt not do it, we will burn thee, and thy father's house. Have you called us to the wedding on purpose to strip us? Judg. 14:15
So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle, which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother: and how can I tell it to thee? Judg. 14:16
So she wept before him the seven days of the feast: and, at length, on the seventh day, as she was troublesome to him, he expounded it. And she immediately told her countrymen. Judg. 14:17
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 finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass, which lay there, catching it up, he slew therewith a thousand men. Judg. 15:15
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass and waters issued out of it. And when he had drunk them, he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day. Judg. 15:19
And when the Philistines had heard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out. Judg. 16:2
And Dalila said to Samson: Tell me, I beseech thee, wherein thy greatest strength lieth, and what it is, wherewith if thou wert bound, thou couldst not break loose. Judg. 16:6
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 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
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
So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god; so now I deliver it to thee. Judg. 17:3
Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas, Judg. 17:8
So the children of Dan sent five most valiant men, of their stock and family, from Saraa and Esthaol, to spy out the land, and to view it diligently: and they said to them: Go, and view the land. They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested there: Judg. 18:2
Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty. Judg. 18:9
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 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
We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we may fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth. Judg. 20:10
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
And perceived, as it were, a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high: Judg. 20:40
And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city of Gabaa. Judg. 20:43
And 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
Then Noemi seeing that Ruth was steadfastly determined to go with her, would not be against it, nor persuade her any more to return to her friends: Ruth 1:18
She went, therefore, and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech. Ruth 2:3
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: 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
¤ After she was returned to her mother in law, Noemi said to her: My daughter, I will seek rest for thee, and will provide that it may be well with thee. Ruth 3:1
And behold, when it was now midnight the man was afraid, and troubled: and he saw a woman lying at his feet, Ruth 3:8
And again he said: Spread thy mantle, wherewith thou art covered, and hold it with both hands. And when she spread it and held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it upon her. And she carried it, and went into the city, Ruth 3:15
I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it, and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field. Ruth 4:4
Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe and gave it to his neighbour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel. Ruth 4:7
So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot. Ruth 4:8
And Noemi taking the child, laid it in her bosom, and she carried it, and was a nurse unto it. Ruth 4:16
And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth. 1 Ki. 1:12
And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord. 1 Ki. 1:20
And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the pot, or into the pan: and all that the fleshhook brought up, the priest took to himself. Thus did they to all Israel that came to Silo. 1 Ki. 2:14
And he that sacrificed said to him: Let the fat first be burnt to day, according to the custom, and then take to thee as much as thy soul desireth. But he answered, and said to him: Not so: but thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it by force. 1 Ki. 2:16
Do not so, my sons: for it is no good report that I hear, that you make the people of the Lord to transgress. 1 Ki. 2:24
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 1 Ki. 2:36
And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see: 1 Ki. 3:2
And 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
And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee. 1 Ki. 3:17
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 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 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 when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way, watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out. 1 Ki. 4:13
¤ And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus. 1 Ki. 5:1
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 1 Ki. 5:2
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
They sent therefore, and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines: and they said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return into its own place, and not kill us and our people. 1 Ki. 5:11
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place. And they said: 1 Ki. 6:2
If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you. 1 Ki. 6:3
They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered: 1 Ki. 6:4
And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box at the side thereof: and send it away, that it may go. 1 Ki. 6:8
And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts, towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance. 1 Ki. 6:9
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 Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord. 1 Ki. 6:15
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you. 1 Ki. 6:21
¤ 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 Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it whole for a holocaust to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him. 1 Ki. 7:9

And Samuel took a stone, and laid it between Masphath and Sen: and he called the place The stone of help. And he said: Thus far the Lord hath helped us. 1 Ki. 7:12
¤ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. 1 Ki. 8:1
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
And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee. 1 Ki. 9:23
And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat; because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day. 1 Ki. 9:24
And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them: to wit, he and Samuel. 1 Ki. 9:26
¤ And Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince. 1 Ki. 10:1
And one answered another, saying: And who is their father? therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Ki. 10:12

¤ And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas, the Ammonite, came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. 1 Ki. 11:1
And 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 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
Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man's ox, or ass: if I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man's hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you. 1 Ki. 12:3
And Samuel said to the people: It is the Lord who made Moses and Aaron, and brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt. 1 Ki. 12:6
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain: and you shall know, and see that you yourselves have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, in desiring a king over you. 1 Ki. 12:17
And 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
¤ Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father. 1 Ki. 14:1
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us: because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few. 1 Ki. 14:6
And 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 Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there. 1 Ki. 14:17
And 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
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
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
It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night. 1 Ki. 15:11
And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, out of the choicest of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalec. 1 Ki. 15:12
Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch, therefore, as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king. 1 Ki. 15:23
And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 1 Ki. 15:27
And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee. 1 Ki. 15:28
And Samuel said: How shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt say: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 1 Ki. 16:2
And he said: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 1 Ki. 16:5
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 I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled, and killed them. 1 Ki. 17:35
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 all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands. 1 Ki. 17:47
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
He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away. 1 Ki. 17:51
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 it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 18:1
And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. 1 Ki. 18:4
And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice. 1 Ki. 18:11
And it came to pass at the time when Merob, the daughter of Saul, should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel, the Molathite, to wife. 1 Ki. 18:19
But Michol, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him. 1 Ki. 18:20
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 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
And Michol took an image, and laid it on the bed, and put a goat's skin, with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes. 1 Ki. 19:13
And Saul sent officers to seize David; and it was answered that he was sick. 1 Ki. 19:14
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
If he shall say: It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height. 1 Ki. 20:7
Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father's mind, to morrow, or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee, 1 Ki. 20:12
May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan, and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayst go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 1 Ki. 20:13
Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies. 1 Ki. 20:15
Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David's enemies. 1 Ki. 20:16
For thy seat will be empty till after to morrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou must be hid, on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel. 1 Ki. 20:19
And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark. 1 Ki. 20:20
And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified. 1 Ki. 20:26
And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David. 1 Ki. 20:33
Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find. 1 Ki. 21:3
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
¤ David therefore went from thence, and fled to the cave of Odollam. And when his brethren, and all his father's house, had heard of it, they went down to him thither. 1 Ki. 22:1
And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king's servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord. 1 Ki. 22:17
And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city that hath gates and bars. 1 Ki. 23:7
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down, uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out. 1 Ki. 23:13
Now therefore come down, as thy soul hath desired to come down: and it shall be our business to deliver him into the king's hands. 1 Ki. 23:20
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 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
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
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
Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord. 1 Ki. 25:27
So David took the spear, and the cup of water which was at Saul's head, and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, or awaked, but they were all asleep, for a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them. 1 Ki. 26:12
And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king. 1 Ki. 26:17
And Saul said: I have sinned; return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things. 1 Ki. 26:21
And David answering, said: Behold the king's spear: let one of the king's servants come over and fetch it. 1 Ki. 26:22
¤ 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 it was told Saul that David was fled to Geth, and he sought no more after him. 1 Ki. 27:4
¤ And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies, to be prepared for war against Israel: And Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men. 1 Ki. 28:1
And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored. 1 Ki. 28:14
For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David: 1 Ki. 28:17
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
And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night. 1 Ki. 28:25
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
¤ Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire, 1 Ki. 30:1
And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way. 1 Ki. 30:2
So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives, 1 Ki. 30:3
And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread abroad upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda. 1 Ki. 30:16
Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 1 Ki. 31:4
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
‡ ¤ 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
(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
And the men of Juda came, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Juda. And it was told David that the men of Jabes Galaad had buried Saul. 2 Ki. 2:4
And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren? 2 Ki. 2:26
Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies. 2 Ki. 3:18
And 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
Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it. 2 Ki. 3:26
And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner: 2 Ki. 3:28
And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread. 2 Ki. 3:29
Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him. 2 Ki. 3:34
And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset. 2 Ki. 3:35
And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king's doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain. 2 Ki. 3:37
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 the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold. 2 Ki. 5:17
And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of Hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims. 2 Ki. 6:2
And 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 when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside. 2 Ki. 6:6
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 it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims. 2 Ki. 6:12
And 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 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
But it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying: 2 Ki. 7:4
But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before my face. 2 Ki. 7:15
For thy word's sake, and according to thy own heart thou hast done all these great things, so that thou wouldst make it known to thy servant. 2 Ki. 7:21
That thy name may be magnified for ever, and it may be said: The Lord of hosts is God over Israel. And the house of thy servant David shall be established before the Lord. 2 Ki. 7:26
And now begin, and bless the house of thy servant, that it may endure for ever before thee: because thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it, and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. 2 Ki. 7:29
¤ And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines, 2 Ki. 8:1
¤ And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 10:1
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it? 2 Ki. 10:3
¤ And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 11:1
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: And he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful. 2 Ki. 11:2
And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite. 2 Ki. 11:3
And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house? 2 Ki. 11:10
And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias, 2 Ki. 11:14
And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against the city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it. 2 Ki. 11:25
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
And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man's ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 2 Ki. 12:4
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 it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead? 2 Ki. 12:18
And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread. 2 Ki. 12:21
Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name. 2 Ki. 12:28
Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it. 2 Ki. 12:29
And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David's head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away. 2 Ki. 12:30
¤ And it came to pass after this that Ammon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar. 2 Ki. 13:1
And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her. 2 Ki. 13:2
And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Ammon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom. 2 Ki. 13:4
And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand. 2 Ki. 13:5
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
And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Ammon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out, 2 Ki. 13:9
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 Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Ammon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee. 2 Ki. 13:26
But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Ammon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king. 2 Ki. 13:27
And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Ammon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men. 2 Ki. 13:28
And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king's sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is. 2 Ki. 13:35
Now therefore I am come, to speak this word to my lord the king before the people. And thy handmaid said: I will speak to the king, it maybe the king will perform the request of his handmaid. 2 Ki. 14:15
And the king 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
He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab's servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire. 2 Ki. 14:30
And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me. 2 Ki. 14:32
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 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 thou hast with thee Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests: and what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests. 2 Ki. 15:35
Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king's son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also. 2 Ki. 16:19
And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do it or not? what counsel dost thou give? 2 Ki. 17:6
Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he liest: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom. 2 Ki. 17:9
And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof. 2 Ki. 17:13
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 a woman took, and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as it were to dry sodden barley and so the thing was not known. 2 Ki. 17:19
So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone over the river. 2 Ki. 17:22
And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not much mind us: or if half of us should fall, they will not greatly care: for thou alone art accounted for ten thousand: it is better therefore that thou shouldst be in the city to succour us. 2 Ki. 18:3
And 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
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 it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son: 2 Ki. 19:1
Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee. 2 Ki. 19:6
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 he inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants. 2 Ki. 19:14
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 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 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
So she went to all the people, and spoke to them wisely: and they cut off the head of Seba the son of Bochri, and cast it out to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they departed from the city, every one to their home: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king. 2 Ki. 20:22
¤ 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
Then the king, calling for the Gabaonites, said to them: (Now the Gabaonites were not of the children of Israel, but the remains of the Amorrhites: and the children of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul sought to slay them out of zeal, as it were for the children of Israel and Juda:) 2 Ki. 21:2
And Respha the daughter of Aia took haircloth, and spread it under her upon the rock from the beginning of the harvest, till water dropped upon them out of heaven: and suffered neither the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night. 2 Ki. 21:10
And it was told David, what Respha the daughter of Aia, the concubine of Saul, had done. 2 Ki. 21:11
A smoke went up from his nostrils, and a devouring fire out of his mouth: coals were kindled by it. 2 Ki. 22:9
¤ Now these are David's last words. David the son of Isai said: The man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the excellent psalmist of Israel said: 2 Ki. 23:1
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
And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it to the Lord, 2 Ki. 23:16
Go, and say to David: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee. 2 Ki. 24:12
And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men. 2 Ki. 24:14
And when the angel of the Lord had stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite. 2 Ki. 24:16
And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father's house. 2 Ki. 24:17
And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood. 2 Ki. 24:22
And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee, at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver: 2 Ki. 24:24
And Nathan said to Bethsabee, the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias, the son of Haggith, reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not? 3 Ki. 1:11
And behold, now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it. 3 Ki. 1:18
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I, and my son, Solomon, shall be counted offenders. 3 Ki. 1:21
And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end. Joab also, hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar? 3 Ki. 1:41
And he said: Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it. 3 Ki. 1:48
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
And Adonias, the son of Haggith, came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? He answered: It is peaceable. 3 Ki. 2:13
Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother's: for it was appointed him by the Lord. 3 Ki. 2:15
And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias, the son of Joiada, saying. Go, kill him. 3 Ki. 2:29
And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head; because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father, David, not knowing it; Abner, the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether general of the army of Juda; 3 Ki. 2:32
And it came to pass after three years, that the servants of Semei ran away to Achis, the son of Maacha, the king of Geth: and it was told Semei that his servants were gone to Geth. 3 Ki. 2:39
And it was told Solomon, that Semei had gone from Jerusalem to Geth, and was come back. 3 Ki. 2:41
And 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 Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants. 3 Ki. 3:15
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
But the woman, whose child was alive, said to the king; (for her bowels were moved upon her child) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine; but divide it. 3 Ki. 3:26
The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed; for she is the mother thereof. 3 Ki. 3:27
They brought barley also, and straw for the horses and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them. 3 Ki. 4:28
¤ 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 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 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
So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar. 3 Ki. 6:9
So Solomon built the house, and finished it. 3 Ki. 6:14
And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roofs, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. 3 Ki. 6:15
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 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 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
He built also the house of the forest of Libanus; the length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits, and the height thirty cubits: and four galleries between pillars of cedar: for he had cut cedar trees into pillars. 3 Ki. 7:2
And he covered the whole vault with boards of cedar, and it was held up with five and forty pillars. And one row had fifteen pillars, 3 Ki. 7:3
He made also the porch of the throne wherein is the seat of judgment; and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top. 3 Ki. 7:7
He made also a molten sea, of ten cubits, from brim to brim, round all about; the height of it was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about. 3 Ki. 7:23
And a graven work, under the brim of it, compassed it for ten cubits going about the sea: there were two rows cast of chamfered sculptures. 3 Ki. 7:24
And it stood upon twelve oxen, of which three looked towards the north, and three towards the west, and three towards the south, and three towards the east: and the sea was above upon them, and their hinder parts were all hid within. 3 Ki. 7:25
And the laver was a hand breadth thick: and the brim thereof was like the brim of a cup, or the leaf of a crisped lily: it contained two thousand bates. 3 Ki. 7:26
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 it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord, 3 Ki. 8:10
And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David, my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying: 3 Ki. 8:15
Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built? 3 Ki. 8:27
And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven. 3 Ki. 8:54

And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before. 3 Ki. 13:6

And Elias said to her: Fear not; but go, and do as thou hast said but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me, and after make for thyself and thy son. 3 Ki. 17:13

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
And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time. 3 Ki. 18:34
And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias, the prophet, came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things. 3 Ki. 18:36
And he went forward, one day's journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord; take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers. 3 Ki. 19:4

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
It is known also what Achior said, nor are we ignorant of what thou hast commanded to be done to him. Jud. 11:7
For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them up for their sins. Jud. 11:8
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
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that Holofernes made a supper for his servants, and said to Vagao his eunuch: Go, and persuade that Hebrew woman, to consent of her own accord to dwell with me. Jud. 12:10
For it is looked upon as shameful among the Assyrians, if a woman mock a man, by doing so as to pass free from him. Jud. 12:11
¤ And when it was grown late, his servants made haste to their lodgings, and Vagao shut the chamber doors, and went his way. Jud. 13:1
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 after a while she went out, and delivered the head of Holofernes to her maid, and bade her put it into her wallet. Jud. 13:11
And they two went out according to their custom, as it were to prayer, and they passed the camp, and having compassed the valley, they came to the gate of the city. Jud. 13:12
And it came to pass, when the men had heard her voice, that they called the ancients of the city. Jud. 13:14
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
And all the people said: So be it, so be it. Jud. 13:26
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
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 all the people said: So be it, so be it. Jud. 15:12
And it came to pass after these things, that all the people, after the victory, came to Jerusalem to adore the Lord: and as soon as they were purified, they all offered holocausts, and vows, and their promises. Jud. 16:22

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 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 he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus. Esther 3:6
And Aman said to king Assuerus: There is a people scattered through all the provinces of thy kingdom, and separated one from another, that use new laws and ceremonies, and moreover despise the king's ordinances: and thou knowest very well that it is not expedient for thy kingdom that they should grow insolent by impunity.

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
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
Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest that it was not out of pride and contempt or any desire of glory, that I refused to worship the proud Aman, Esther 13:12

And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine plentifully: What dost thou desire should be given thee? and for what thing askest thou? although thou shouldst ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. Esther 5:6
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
They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus. Esther 6:2
And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. Esther 7:2
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
And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen. Esther 7:6
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
And the king took the ring which he had commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai over her house. Esther 8:2
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
Then the king's scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear. Esther 8:9
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 must you think, if we command different things, that it cometh of the levity of our mind, but that we give sentence according to the quality and necessity of times, as the profit of the commonwealth requireth. Esther 16:9
For which crime both he himself that devised it, and all his kindred hang on gibbets, before the gates of this city Susan: not we, but God repaying him as he deserved. Esther 16:18
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 this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies. Esther 8:13
And 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
Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets. Esther 9:17
And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.

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
For it was requisite that inevitable destruction should come upon them that exercised tyranny: but to these it should only be shewn how their enemies were destroyed. Wis. 16:4
For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee, the Saviour of all. Wis. 16:7
For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster, that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things. Wis. 16:12
For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again: Wis. 16:13
A man indeed killeth through malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shall not return, neither shall he call back the soul that is received: Wis. 16:14
But it is impossible to escape thy hand: Wis. 16:15
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
For thy sustenance shewed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man's will, it was turned to what every man liked. Wis. 16:21
Therefore even then it was transformed into all things, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all, according to the will of them that desired it of thee: Wis. 16:25
That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovedst, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth men, but thy word preserveth them that believe in thee. Wis. 16:26
That it might be known to all, that we ought to prevent the sun to bless thee, and adore thee at the dawning of the light. Wis. 16:28
For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things. Wis. 17:10
And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment. Wis. 17:12
For they were all bound together with one chain of darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds, among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with violence, Wis. 17:17
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
Religiousness shall keep and justify the heart, it shall give joy and gladness. Sir. 1:18
It shall go well with him that feareth the Lord, and in the days of his end he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:19
And it hath seen, and numbered her: but both are the gifts of God. Sir. 1:23
For God hath made the father honourable to the children: and seeking the judgment of the mothers, hath confirmed it upon the children. Sir. 3:3
For it is not necessary for thee to see with thy eyes those things that are hid. Sir. 3:23
A hard heart shall fear evil at the last: and he that loveth danger shall perish in it. Sir. 3:27
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
¤ 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
Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day. Sir. 5:8
And it eat up thy leaves, and destroy thy fruit, and thou be left as a dry tree in the wilderness. Sir. 6:3
For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked. Sir. 6:4
She shall be to them as a mighty stone of trial, and they will cast her from them before it be long. Sir. 6:22
Remember wrath, for it will not tarry long. Sir. 7:18
Give them their portion, as it is commanded thee, of the firstfruits and of purifications: and for thy negligences purify thyself with a few. Sir. 7:34
Lend not to a man that is mightier than thyself: and if thou lendest, count it as lost. Sir. 8:15
Be not surety above thy power: and if thou be surety, think as if thou wert to pay it. Sir. 8:16
A new friend is as new wine: it shall grow old, and thou shalt drink it with pleasure. Sir. 9:15
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
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
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
My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert. Sir. 10:31
For it is easy in the eyes of God on a sudden to make the poor man rich. Sir. 11:23
For it is easy before God in the day of death to reward every one according to his ways. Sir. 11:28
¤ If thou do good, know to whom thou dost it, and there shall be much thanks for thy good deeds. Sir. 12:1
Do good to the humble, and give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not to him, lest thereby he overmaster thee. Sir. 12:6
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
For an hour he will abide with thee: but if thou begin to decline, he will not endure it. Sir. 12:14
¤ He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride. Sir. 13:1
What agreement shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? for if they knock one against the other, it shall be broken. Sir. 13:3
When thou hearest those things, see as it were in sleep, and thou shalt awake. Sir. 13:17
And if he do good, he doth it ignorantly, and unwillingly: and at the last he discovereth his wickedness. Sir. 14:7
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
Every work that is corruptible shall fail in the end: and the worker thereof shall go with it. Sir. 14:20
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
Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth. Sir. 15:11
The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear him shall not love it. Sir. 15:13
And it is better to die without children, than to leave ungodly children. Sir. 16:4
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
After this God looked upon the earth, and filled it with his goods. Sir. 16:30
The soul of every living thing hath shewn forth before the face thereof, and into it they return again. Sir. 16:31
And he turned him into it again, and clothed him with strength according to himself. Sir. 17:2
What is brighter than the sun; yet it shall be eclipsed. Or what is more wicked than that which flesh and blood hath invented? and this shall be reproved. Sir. 17:30
Nothing may be taken away, nor added, neither is it possible to find out the glorious works of God. Sir. 18:5
He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil. Sir. 18:10
Tell not thy mind to friend or foe: and if there be a sin with thee, disclose it not. Sir. 19:8
For he will hearken to thee, and will watch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always. Sir. 19:9
Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee. Sir. 19:10
Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say: I did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more. Sir. 19:13
Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again. Sir. 19:14
And if he be hindered from sinning for want of power, if he shall find opportunity to do evil, he will do it. Sir. 19:25
¤ How much better is it to reprove, than to be angry, and not to hinder him that confesseth in prayer. Sir. 20:1
How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance! for so thou shalt escape wilful sin. Sir. 20:4
To day a man lendeth, and to morrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful. Sir. 20:16
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 will destroy his own soul through shamefacedness, and by occasion of an unwise person he will destroy it: and by respect of person he will destroy himself. Sir. 20:24
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
The heart of a fool is like a broken vessel, and no wisdom at all shall it hold. Sir. 21:17
A man of sense will praise every wise word he shall hear, and will apply it to himself: the luxurious man hath heard it, and it shall displease him, and he will cast it behind his back. Sir. 21:18
It is the folly of a man to hearken at the door: and a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace. Sir. 21:27
I will not be ashamed to salute a friend, neither will I hide myself from his face: and if any evil happen to me by him, I will bear it. Sir. 22:31
But every one that shall hear it, will beware of him. Sir. 22:32
Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth, and he that will keep it shall not perish by his lips, nor be brought to fall into most wicked works. Sir. 23:7
Let not thy mouth be accustomed to swearing: for in it there are many falls. Sir. 23:9
And if he make it void, his sin shall be upon him, and if he dissemble it, he offendeth double: Sir. 23:13
There is also another speech opposite to death, let it not be found in the inheritance of Jacob. Sir. 23:15
A hot soul is a burning fire, it will never be quenched, till it devour some thing. Sir. 23:22
It is great glory to follow the Lord: for length of days shall be received from him. Sir. 23:38
Who maketh understanding to abound as the Euphrates, who multiplieth it as the Jordan in the time of harvest. Sir. 24:36
For I make doctrine to shine forth to all as the morning light, and I will declare it afar off. Sir. 24:44
I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and will leave it to them that seek wisdom, and will not cease to instruct their offspring even to the holy age. Sir. 24:46
Blessed is the man, to whom it is given to have the fear of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shall he be likened? Sir. 25:15
The fear of God is the beginning of his love: and the beginning of faith is to be fast joined unto it. Sir. 25:16
And there is no anger above the anger of a woman. It will be more agreeable to abide with a lion and a dragon, than to dwell with a wicked woman. Sir. 25:23
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
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
If one cast a stone on high, it will fall upon his own head: and the deceitful stroke will wound the deceitful. Sir. 27:28
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
A mischievous counsel shall be rolled back upon the author, and he shall not know from whence it cometh to him. Sir. 27:30
If thou blow the spark, it shall burn as a fire: and if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: both come out of the mouth. Sir. 28:14
It hath destroyed the strong cities of the rich, and hath overthrown the houses of great men. Sir. 28:17
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
The death thereof is a most evil death: and hell is preferable to it. Sir. 28:25
Its continuance shall not be for a long time, but it shall possess the ways of the unjust: and the just shall not be burnt with its flame. Sir. 28:26
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
And if he be able to pay, he will stand off, he will scarce pay one half, and will count it as if he had found it: Sir. 29:7
Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend: and hide it not under a stone to be lost. Sir. 29:13
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 shall fight for thee against thy enemy. Sir. 29:17

It is a miserable life to go as a guest from house to house: for where a man is a stranger, he shall not deal confidently, nor open his mouth. Sir. 29:30

For sadness hath killed many, and there is no profit in it. Sir. 30:25
He that loveth gold, shall not be justified: and he that followeth after corruption, shall be filled with it. Sir. 31:5
Gold is a stumblingblock to them that sacrifice to it: woe to them that eagerly follow after it, and every fool shall perish by it. Sir. 31:7
Art thou set at a great table? be not the first to open thy mouth upon it. Sir. 31:12
Say not: There are many things which are upon it. Sir. 31:13
What is created more wicked than an eye? therefore shall it weep over all the face when it shall see. Sir. 31:15
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
And if thou hast been forced to eat much, arise, go out, and vomit: and it shall refresh thee, and thou shalt not bring sickness upon thy body. Sir. 31:25
Wine taken with sobriety is equal life to men: if thou drink it moderately, thou shalt be sober. Sir. 31:32
Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee, Sir. 32:4
He that seeketh the law, shall be filled with it: and he that dealeth deceitfully, shall meet with a stumblingblock therein. Sir. 32:19
As the potter's clay is in his hand, to fashion and order it: Sir. 33:13
For it is better that thy children should ask of thee, than that thou look toward the hands of thy children. Sir. 33:22
Set him to work: for so it is fit for him. And if he be not obedient, bring him down with fetters, but be not excessive towards any one, and do no grievous thing without judgment. Sir. 33:30
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
It is a wholesome sacrifice to take heed to the commandments, and to depart from all iniquity. Sir. 35:2
The prayer of him that humbleth himself, shall pierce the clouds: and till it come nigh he will not be comforted: and he will not depart till the most High behold. Sir. 35:21
A perverse heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it. Sir. 36:22
And establish within thyself a heart of good counsel: for there is no other thing of more worth to thee than it. Sir. 37:17
My son, prove thy soul in thy life: and if it be wicked, give it no power: Sir. 37:30
For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck. Sir. 38:19
Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end. Sir. 38:21
Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself. Sir. 38:22
For if it shall please the great Lord, he will fill him with the spirit of understanding: Sir. 39:8

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
There is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek for help. Sir. 40:27
The fear of the Lord is like a paradise of blessing, and they have covered it above all glory. Sir. 40:28
My son, in thy lifetime be not indigent: for it is better to die than to want. Sir. 40:29
For it is not good to keep all shamefacedness: and all things do not please all men in opinion. Sir. 41:20
Look upon the rainbow, and bless him that made it: it is very beautiful in its brightness. Sir. 43:12
It encompasseth the heaven about with the circle of its glory, the hands of the most High have displayed it. Sir. 43:13
He shall pour frost as salt upon the earth: and when it freezeth, it shall become like the tops of thistles. Sir. 43:21

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

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

And now I have declared it to you this day, and you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to you. Jer. 42:21

Jer. 44:17

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

And you shall say: To the Lord our God belongeth justice, but to us confusion of our face: as it is come to pass at this day to all Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Bar. 1:15
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
For it is not for the justices of our fathers that we pour out our prayers, and beg mercy in thy sight, O Lord our God: Bar. 2:19
And 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
How happeneth it, O Israel, that thou art in thy enemies' land? Bar. 3:10
Nor have they understood the paths thereof, neither have their children received it, it is far from their face. Bar. 3:21
It hath not been heard of in the land of Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman. Bar. 3:22
It is great, and hath no end: it is high and immense. Bar. 3:25
But he that knoweth all things, knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore, and filled it with cattle and fourfooted beasts: Bar. 3:32

For as it was your mind to go astray from God; so when you return again you shall seek him ten times as much. Bar. 4:28
And as if it were for a maiden that loveth to go gay: so do they take gold and make them up. Bar. 6:8
Their gods have golden crowns upon their heads: whereof the priests secretly convey away from them gold, and silver, and bestow it on themselves. Bar. 6:9
Yea and they give thereof to prostitutes, and they dress out harlots: and again when they receive it of the harlots, they adorn their gods. Bar. 6:10
And this hath in his hand a sword, or an axe, but cannot save himself from war, or from robbers, whereby be it known to you, that they are not gods. Bar. 6:14
Therefore fear them not. For as a vessel that a man uses when it is broken becometh useless, even so are their gods: Bar. 6:15
And they say that the creeping things which are of the earth, gnaw their hearts, while they eat them and their garments, and they feel it not. Bar. 6:19

And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king, nor put him down: Bar. 6:33
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
How then is it to be supposed, or to be said, that they are gods? Bar. 6:39
But all things that are done about them, are false: how is it then to be thought, or to be said, that they are gods? Bar. 6:44

Whence, therefore, is it known that they are not gods, but the work of men's hands, and no work of God is in them? Bar. 6:51
And they cannot withstand a king and war. How then can it be supposed, or admitted, that they are gods? Bar. 6:55
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
Wherefore it is neither to be thought, nor to be said, that they are gods: since they are neither able to judge causes, nor to do any good to men. Bar. 6:63
‡ ¤ Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives by the river Chobar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God. Ezec. 1:1
And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber: Ezec. 1:4
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
And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down. Ezec. 1:24
And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was the likeness of the appearance of a man above upon it. Ezec. 1:26
And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about. Ezec. 1:27
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
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
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me. Ezec. 3:17
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
¤ And thou, O son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee: and draw upon it the plan of the city of Jerusalem. Ezec. 4:1
And lay siege against it, and build forts, and cast up a mount, and set a camp against it, and place battering rams round about it. Ezec. 4:2
And take unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face resolutely against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: it is a sign to the house of Israel. Ezec. 4:3
And thou shalt sleep upon thy left side, and shalt lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days that thou shalt sleep upon it, and thou shalt take upon thee their iniquity. Ezec. 4:4
And thou shalt turn thy face to the siege of Jerusalem and thy arm shall be stretched out: and thou shalt prophesy against it. Ezec. 4:7
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 drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time thou shalt drink it, Ezec. 4:11
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 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 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
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
I the Lord have spoken it: When I shall send upon them the grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will gather together famine against you: and I will break among you the staff of bread. Ezec. 5:16
And I will send in upon you famine, and evil beasts unto utter destruction: and pestilence, and blood shall pass through thee, and I will bring in the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it. Ezec. 5:17
An end is come, the end is come, it hath awaked against thee: behold it is come. Ezec. 7:6
Behold the day, behold it is come: destruction is gone forth, the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. Ezec. 7:10
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 they have turned the ornament of their jewels into pride, and have made of it the images of their abominations, and idols: therefore I have made it an uncleanness to them. Ezec. 7:20
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for spoil, and to the wicked of the earth for a prey, and they shall defile it. Ezec. 7:21
And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. Ezec. 7:22
¤ And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. Ezec. 8:1
¤ And I saw and behold 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 one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth. Ezec. 10:7
And the cherubims 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 it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pheltias the son of Banaias died: and I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice: and said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God: wilt thou make an end of all the remnant of Israel? Ezec. 11:13
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
Dig thee a way through the wall before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth through it. Ezec. 12:5
Say: I am a sign of things to come to you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall be removed from their dwellings, and go into captivity. Ezec. 12:11
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die. Ezec. 12:13
Say to them therefore: Thus saith the Lord God: I will make this proverb to cease, neither shall it be any more a common saying in Israel: and tell them that the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. Ezec. 12:23
For I the Lord will speak: and what word soever I shall speak, it shall come to pass, and shall not be prolonged any more: but in your days, ye provoking house, I will speak the word, and will do it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 12:25
Because they have deceived my people, saying: Peace, and there is no peace: and the people built up a wall, and they daubed it with dirt without straw. Ezec. 13:10
Say to them that daub without tempering, that it shall fall: for there shall be an overflowing shower, and I will cause great hailstones to fall violently from above, and a stormy wind to throw it down. Ezec. 13:11
Behold, when the wall is fallen: shall it not be said to you: Where is the daubing wherewith you have daubed it? Ezec. 13:12
And I will break down the wall that you have daubed with untempered mortar: and I will make it even with the ground, and the foundation thereof shall be laid bare: and it shall fall, and shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 13:14
And I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that daub it without tempering the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and they that daub it are no more. Ezec. 13:15
Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of it. Ezec. 14:13
And if 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
And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass because of the beasts: Ezec. 14:15
If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate. Ezec. 14:16
Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of it: Ezec. 14:17
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
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
Shall wood be taken of it, to do any work, or shall a pin be made of it for any vessel to hang thereon? Ezec. 15:3
Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath consumed both ends thereof, and the midst thereof is reduced to ashes: shall it be useful for any work? Ezec. 15:4
Even when it was whole it was not fit for work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured and consumed it, shall any work be made of it? Ezec. 15:5
And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 16:19
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God) Ezec. 16:23
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
Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides. Ezec. 16:57
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
And it sprung up and grew into a spreading vine of low stature, and the branches thereof looked towards him: and the roots thereof were under him. So it became a vine, and grew into branches, and shot forth sprigs. Ezec. 17:6
And there was another large eagle, with great wings, and many feathers: and behold this vine, bending as it were her roots towards him, stretched forth her branches to him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. Ezec. 17:7
It was planted in a good ground upon many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, that it might become a large vine. Ezec. 17:8
Say thou: Thus saith the Lord God: Shall it prosper then? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and strip off its fruit, and dry up all the branches it hath shot forth, and make it wither: and this without a strong arm, or many people to pluck it up by the root? Ezec. 17:9
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
That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant and observe it. Ezec. 17:14
But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant? Ezec. 17:15
Thus saith the Lord God: I myself will take of the marrow of the high cedar, and will set it: I will crop off a tender twig from the top of the branches thereof, and I will plant it on a mountain high and eminent. Ezec. 17:22
On the high mountains of Israel will I plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches and shall bear fruit, and it shall become a great cedar: and all birds shall dwell under it, and every fowl shall make its nest under the shadow of the branches thereof. Ezec. 17:23
And all the trees of the country shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, and exalted the low tree: and have dried up the green tree, and have caused the dry tree to flourish. I the Lord have spoken and have done it. Ezec. 17:24
Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live? Ezec. 18:23
And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse? Ezec. 18:25
And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation. Ezec. 19:14
¤ 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
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
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
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
And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations. Ezec. 20:28
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers. Ezec. 20:42
And say to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north. Ezec. 20:47
And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched. Ezec. 20:48
And when they shall say to thee: Why mournest thou? thou shalt say: For that which I hear: because it cometh, and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be made feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and water shall run down every knee: behold it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 21:7
It is sharpened to kill victims: it is furbished that it may glitter: thou removest the sceptre of my son, thou hast cut down every tree. Ezec. 21:10
And I have given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, that it may be in the hand of the slayer. Ezec. 21:11
Cry, and howl, O son of man, for this sword is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel, that are fled: they are delivered up to the sword with my people, strike therefore upon thy thigh, Ezec. 21:12
Because it is tried: and that when it shall overthrow the sceptre, and it shall not be, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 21:13
Thus saith the Lord God: Remove the diadem, take off the crown: is it not this that hath exalted the low one, and brought down him that was high? Ezec. 21:26
I will shew it to be iniquity, iniquity, iniquity: but this was not done till he came to whom judgment belongeth, and I will give it him. Ezec. 21:27
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
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
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 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 thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs, and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 23:34
And 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 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
Heap together into it the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones. Ezec. 24:4
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
And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered. Ezec. 24:8
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
I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord. Ezec. 24:14
And thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because they are led into captivity: Ezec. 25:3
To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations. Ezec. 25:10
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

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
And I will make thee like a naked rock, thou shalt be a drying place for nets, neither shalt thou be built any more: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 26:14
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
Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 28:10
Son of man, set thy face against Sidon: and thou shalt prophesy of it, Ezec. 28:21
And the land of Egypt shall become a desert, and a wilderness: and they shall know that I am the Lord, because thou hast said: The river is mine, and I made it. Ezec. 29:9
The foot of man shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beasts go through it: nor shall it be inhabited during forty years. Ezec. 29:11
It shall be the lowest among other kingdoms, and it shall no more be exalted over the nations, and I will diminish them that they shall rule no more over the nations. Ezec. 29:15
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year in the first month, in the first of the month: that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 29:17
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it. Ezec. 29:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army. Ezec. 29:19
And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 29:20
For the day is near, yea the day of the Lord is near: a cloudy day, it shall be the time of the nations. Ezec. 30:3
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
In that day shall messengers go forth from my face in ships to destroy the confidence of Ethiopia, and there shall be dread among them in the day of Egypt: because it shall certainly come. Ezec. 30:9
And I will make the channels of the rivers dry, and will deliver the land into the hand of the wicked: and will lay waste the land and all that is therein by the hands of strangers, I the Lord have spoken it. Ezec. 30:12

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharao king of Egypt: and behold it is not bound up, to be healed, to be tied up with clothes, and swathed with linen, that it might recover strength, and hold the sword. Ezec. 30:21
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fall: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it forth upon the land of Egypt. Ezec. 30:25
¤ And 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

Ezec. 34:10
Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the clearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet. Ezec. 34:18
I will save my flock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle. Ezec. 34:22
And I 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
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy concerning it, and say to it: Ezec. 35:2
And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth. Ezec. 35:7
As thou hast rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 35:15
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste. Ezec. 36:5
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 poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it. Ezec. 36:18
And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land. Ezec. 36:20

And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you. Ezec. 36:29
It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel. Ezec. 36:32
And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it. Ezec. 36:36

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.

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
Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:5
Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the day whereof I have spoken. Ezec. 39:8
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog. Ezec. 39:11
And all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:13

And the windows thereof, and the porch, and the gravings according to the measure of the gate that looked to the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and a porch was before it. Ezec. 40:22
And 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
The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof as before: and the windows thereof, and the porches thereof round about it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. Ezec. 40:33

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 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 he measured the length of the building over against it, which was separated at the back of it: and the galleries on both sides a hundred cubits: and the inner temple, and the porches of the court. Ezec. 41:15
And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place. Ezec. 42:13
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that looked toward the east: and he measured it on every side round about. Ezec. 42:15
And 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 of his blood, and shalt put it upon the four horns thereof, and upon the four corners of the brim, and upon the crown round about: and thou shalt cleanse, and expiate it. Ezec. 43:20
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
Seven days shall they expiate the altar, and shall cleanse it: and they shall consecrate it. Ezec. 43:26
¤ And he brought me back to the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary, which looked towards the east: and it was shut. Ezec. 44:1
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
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself or caught by a beast, whether it be fowl or cattle. Ezec. 44:31
¤ And 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
The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to the ministry of the Lord: and it shall be a place for their houses, and for the holy place of the sanctuary. Ezec. 45:4
Thus saith the Lord God: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: cease from iniquity and robberies, and execute judgment and justice, separate your confines from my people, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 45:9
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering: and he shall put it on the posts of the house, and on the four corners of the brim of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court. Ezec. 45:19
¤ Thus saith the Lord God: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east, shall be shut the six days, on which work is done; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, yea and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened. Ezec. 46:1
But when the people of the land shall go in before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that goeth in by the north gate to adore, shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that goeth in by the way of the south gate, shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go out at that over against it. Ezec. 46:9
But when the prince shall offer a voluntary holocaust, or voluntary peace offerings to the Lord: the gate that looketh towards the east shall be opened to him, and he shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings, as it is wont to be done on the sabbath day: and he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he is gone forth. Ezec. 46:12
And 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 shall offer the sacrifice for it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephi: and the third part of a hin of oil to be mingled with the fine flour: a sacrifice to the Lord by ordinance continual and everlasting. Ezec. 46:14
Thus saith the Lord God: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons: the inheritance of it shall go to his children, they shall possess it by inheritance. Ezec. 46:16
But if he give a legacy out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of release, and it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall go to his sons. Ezec. 46:17
And he said to me: This is the place where the priests shall boil the sin offering, and the trespass offering: where they shall dress the sacrifice, that they may not bring it out into the outward court, and the people be sanctified. Ezec. 46:20
And he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the water up to the loins. And he measured a thousand, and it was a torrent, which I could not pass over: for the waters were risen so as to make a deep torrent, which could not be passed over. Ezec. 47:5
And 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 they that serve the city, shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. Ezec. 48:19

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
And whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay. Dan. 2:41
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

Susanna sighed, and said: I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands. Dan. 13:22
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
And one of them ran to the door of the orchard, and opened it. Dan. 13:25
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
¤ 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 a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes and languages: Dan. 3:4
And Nabuchodonosor, the king, spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up? Dan. 3:14
But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up. Dan. 3:18
Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated. Dan. 3:19
And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us. Dan. A:7
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 it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace. Dan. A:25
O let the earth bless the Lord: let it praise and exalt him above all for ever. Dan. A:51
The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders towards me. It hath seemed good to me, therefore, to publish Dan. 4:2
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
He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches. Dan. 4:14
Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be tied with a band of iron and of brass, among the grass, that is without, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild beasts in the grass of the earth. Dan. 4:15
This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word and demand of the holy ones: till the living know, that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men: and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it. Dan. 4:17
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
It is thou, O king, who art grown great, and become mighty: for thy greatness hath grown, and hath reached to heaven, and thy power unto the ends of the earth. Dan. 4:22
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
They shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle, and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass, as an ox, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven: and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:25
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
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it? Dan. 4:35
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 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
And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it. Dan. 5:26
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
¤ It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors, to be over his whole kingdom. Dan. 6:1
Now, therefore, O king, confirm the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor any man be allowed to transgress it. Dan. 6:8
So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it. Dan. 6:9
And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true, according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate. Dan. 6:12
It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever. Dan. 6:26
And the king being angry, called for his priests, and said to them: If you tell me not who it is that eateth up these expenses, you shall die. Dan. 14:7
But if you can shew that Bel eateth these things, Daniel shall die, because he hath blasphemed against Bel. And Daniel said to the king: Be it done according to thy word. Dan. 14:8
And the priests of Bel said: Behold, we go out: and do thou, O king, set on the meats, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast, and seal it with thy own ring: Dan. 14:10
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
So it came to pass after they were gone out, the king set the meats before Bel: and Daniel commanded his servants, and they brought ashes, and he sifted them all over the temple before the king: and going forth, they shut the door, and having sealed it with the king's ring, they departed. Dan. 14:13
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
¤ 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
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, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings, as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it. Dan. 7:6
After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns. Dan. 7:7
I beheld till thrones were placed, and the ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire. Dan. 7:9
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 the he goat became exceeding great: and when he was grown, the great horn was broken, and there came up four horns under it towards the four winds of heaven. Dan. 8:8
And out of one of them came forth a little horn: and it became great against the south, and against the east, and against the strength. Dan. 8:9
And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them. Dan. 8:10
And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary. Dan. 8:11
And it came to pass when I, Daniel, saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man. Dan. 8:15
But whereas when that was broken, there arose up four for it, four kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength. Dan. 8:22
And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true: thou, therefore, seal up the vision, because it shall come to pass after many days. Dan. 8:26
And I, Daniel, languished, and was sick for some days: and when I was risen up, I did the king's business, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none that could interpret it. Dan. 8:27
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
Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear: open thy eyes, and see our desolation, and the city upon which thy name is called: for it is not for our justifications that we present our prayers before thy face, but for the multitude of thy tender mercies. Dan. 9:18
From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore, do thou mark the word, and understand the vision. Dan. 9:23
And I, Daniel alone, saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves. Dan. 10:7
And behold as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me. Dan. 10:16
And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall be divided towards the four winds of the heaven: but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, beside these. Dan. 11:4
And he shall come upon him, and do according to his pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand. Dan. 11:16
And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him. Dan. 11:17
And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always. Dan. 12:2
And I, Daniel, looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on the other bank of the river. Dan. 12:5
And I said to the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? Dan. 12:6
And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river, when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished. Dan. 12:7
And the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, that is without measure, and shall not be numbered. And it shall be in the place where it shall be said to them: You are not my people: it shall be said to them: Ye are the sons of the living God. Osee 1:10

Now, therefore, send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming. 1 Ma. 12:45
¤ Now Simon heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it. 1 Ma. 13:1
And 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
So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about. 1 Ma. 13:10
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 after this, Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went. 1 Ma. 13:20
And 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 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 Simon being moved, did not destroy them but yet he cast them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein there had been idols, and then he entered into it with hymns, blessing the Lord: 1 Ma. 13:47
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
And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses. 1 Ma. 13:50
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 he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it, and there was none that resisted him. 1 Ma. 14:7
And it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead: and they were very sorry. 1 Ma. 14:16
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 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 it pleased all the people to establish Simon, and to do according to these words. 1 Ma. 14:46
And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon, and his sons, may have it. 1 Ma. 14:49
Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge the kingdom, and to restore it to its former estate; and I have chosen a great army, and have built ships of war. 1 Ma. 15:3
It hath seemed good therefore to us, to write to the kings and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries: and that they should give no aid to them that fight against them. 1 Ma. 15:19
And it hath seemed good to us to receive the shield of them. 1 Ma. 15:20
But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and he shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out. 1 Ma. 15:25
But when he heard it, he was exceedingly afraid: and he apprehended the men that came to kill him, and he put them to death: for he knew that they sought to make him away. 1 Ma. 16:22
And when the priests of Nanea had set it forth, and he with a small company had entered into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple, 2 Ma. 1:15
Therefore, whereas we purpose to keep the purification of the temple on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, we thought it necessary to signify it to you: that you also may keep the day of Scenopegia, and the day of the fire, that was given when Nehemias offered sacrifice, after the temple and the altar was built. 2 Ma. 1:18
For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God, took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men. 2 Ma. 1:19
But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water. 2 Ma. 1:20
Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest, Nehemias, commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it. 2 Ma. 1:21
Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it. 2 Ma. 1:26
Which being done, there was kindled a flame from them: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar. 2 Ma. 1:32
And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which Nehemias and they that were with him had purified the sacrifices. 2 Ma. 1:33
And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened. 2 Ma. 1:34
And when he had proved it, he gave the priests many goods, and divers presents, and he took and distributed them to them with his own hand. 2 Ma. 1:35
And Nehemias called this place Nephthar, which is interpreted purification. But many call it Nephi. 2 Ma. 1:36
¤ 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
It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God. 2 Ma. 2:4
Then some of them that followed him, came up to mark the place: but they could not find it. 2 Ma. 2:6
And when Jeremias perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown, till God gather together the congregation of the people, and receive them to mercy. 2 Ma. 2:7
And then the Lord will shew these things, and the majesty of the Lord shall appear, and there shall be a cloud as it was also shewed to Moses, and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God. 2 Ma. 2:8
And Moses said: Because the sin offering was not eaten, it was consumed. 2 Ma. 2:11
We have taken care for those indeed that are willing to read, that it might be a pleasure of mind: and for the studious, that they may more easily commit to memory: and that all that read might receive profit. 2 Ma. 2:26
For as the master builder of a new house must have care of the whole building: but he that taketh care to paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning of it: so must it be judged of us. 2 Ma. 2:30
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
It came to pass that even the kings themselves and the princes esteemed the place worthy of the highest honour, and glorified the temple with very great gifts: 2 Ma. 3:2
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
But that to deceive them who had trusted to the place and temple which is honoured throughout the whole world, for the reverence and holiness of it, was a thing which could not by any means be done. 2 Ma. 3:12
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
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
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
The wicked Jason sent from Jerusalem sinful men, to carry three hundred didrachmas of silver for the sacrifice of Hercules; but the bearers thereof desired it might not be bestowed on the sacrifices, because it was not necessary, but might be deputed for other charges. 2 Ma. 4:19
So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys. 2 Ma. 4:20
So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king, he took no care, when Sostratus, the governor of the castle, called for it. 2 Ma. 4:27
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
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
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 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, 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
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 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
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 they that stood by, being moved with wicked pity, for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired that flesh might be brought which it was lawful for him to eat, that he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded, of the flesh of the sacrifice: 2 Ma. 6:21
For it doth not become our age, said he, to dissemble: whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, at the age of fourscore and ten years, was gone over to the life of the heathens: 2 Ma. 6:24
¤ It came to pass also, that seven brethren, together with their mother, were apprehended, and compelled by the king to eat swine's flesh against the law, for which end they were tormented with whips and scourges. 2 Ma. 7:1
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 now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him; for, as to thee, thou shalt have no resurrection unto life. 2 Ma. 7:14
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
Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked. 2 Ma. 7:39
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
But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit. 2 Ma. 8:26
For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city, but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight, returned with disgrace. 2 Ma. 9:2
And swelling with anger, he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. 2 Ma. 9:4
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
And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God. 2 Ma. 9:12
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
As for me, being infirm, but yet kindly remembering you, returning out of the places of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to take care for the common good: 2 Ma. 9:21
Now upon the same day that the temple had been polluted by the strangers on the very same day it was cleansed again; to wit, on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu. 2 Ma. 10:5
But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape. 2 Ma. 10:21
But 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
Gathered together fourscore thousand men, and all the horsemen, and came against the Jews, thinking to take the city, and make it a habitation of the Gentiles: 2 Ma. 11:2
But touching such things as he thought should be referred to the king, after you have diligently conferred among yourselves, send some one forthwith, that we may decree as it is convenient for you: for we are going to Antioch. 2 Ma. 11:36
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
Now when Timotheus had knowledge of the coming of Judas, he sent the women and children, and the other baggage, before him into a fortress, called Carnion: for it was impregnable, and hard to come at, by reason of the straitness of the places. 2 Ma. 12:21
And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain. 2 Ma. 12:34
(For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,) 2 Ma. 12:44
It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. 2 Ma. 12:46
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
For as long as Judas liveth it is not possible that the state should be quiet. 2 Ma. 14:10
And when there had been a consultation thereupon, and the captain had acquainted the multitude with it, they were all of one mind to consent to covenants. 2 Ma. 14:20
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
Now as the multitude sought to rush into his house, and to break open the door, and to set fire to it, when he was ready to be taken, he struck himself with his sword: 2 Ma. 14:41
Machabeus considering the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretching out his hands to heaven, called upon the Lord, that worketh wonders, who giveth victory to them that are worthy, not according to the power of their arms, but according as it seemeth good to him. 2 Ma. 15:21
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
Which if I have done well, and as it becometh the history, it is what I desired: but if not so perfectly, it must be pardoned me. 2 Ma. 15:39
For as it is hurtful to drink always wine, or always water, but pleasant to use sometimes the one, and sometimes the other: so if the speech be always nicely framed, it will not be grateful to the readers. But here it shall be ended. 2 Ma. 15:40
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Mt. 1:22
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 after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. Mt. 2:13
And he was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son. Mt. 2:15
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 Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfil all justice. Then he suffered him. Mt. 3:15
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
Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Mt. 4:7
Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written: The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve. Mt. 4:10
That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet: Mt. 4:14
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing anymore but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. Mt. 5:13
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
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
You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. Mt. 5:27
And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. Mt. 5:29
And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. Mt. 5:30
And it hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. Mt. 5:31
Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord. Mt. 5:33
But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven for it is the throne of God: Mt. 5:34
Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king: Mt. 5:35
You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Mt. 5:38
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. Mt. 5:43
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Mt. 6:10
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
For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. Mt. 7:2
Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. Mt. 7:7
For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Mt. 7:8
How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it! Mt. 7:14
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. Mt. 7:25
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. Mt. 7:27
And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. Mt. 7:28
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. Mt. 8:9
And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour. Mt. 8:13
That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases. Mt. 8:17
And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men. Mt. 9:8
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
And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners? Mt. 9:11
But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill. Mt. 9:12
And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fulness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent. Mt. 9:16
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you. Mt. 9:29
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
And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house. Mt. 10:12
And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you. Mt. 10:13
Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Mt. 10:15
But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak: Mt. 10:19
For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. Mt. 10:20
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? Mt. 10:25
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. Mt. 10:39
¤ 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
For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. Mt. 11:10
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away. Mt. 11:12
And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come. Mt. 11:14
But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place. Mt. 11:16
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
All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him. Mt. 11:27
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only? Mt. 12:4
And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. Mt. 12:10
But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up? Mt. 12:11
How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days. Mt. 12:12
Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other. Mt. 12:13
But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all. Mt. 12:15
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying: Mt. 12:17
But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casteth not out devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. Mt. 12:24
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
Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. Mt. 12:39
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
Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Mt. 12:44
Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation. Mt. 12:45
Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given. Mt. 13:11
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. Mt. 13:19
And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy. Mt. 13:20
And 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
And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? Mt. 13:28
And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. Mt. 13:29
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
Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. Mt. 13:32
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. Mt. 13:35
Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. Mt. 13:40
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Mt. 13:44
Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. Mt. 13:46
Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. Mt. 13:48
So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. Mt. 13:49
And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence. Mt. 13:53
For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her. Mt. 14:4
And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given. Mt. 14:9
And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother. Mt. 14:11
And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus. Mt. 14:12
Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities. Mt. 14:13
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals. Mt. 14:15
And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone. Mt. 14:23
And they seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear. Mt. 14:26
And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not. Mt. 14:27
And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters. Mt. 14:28
Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs. Mt. 15:26
Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour. Mt. 15:28
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. Mt. 16:2
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away. Mt. 16:4
And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread? Mt. 16:8
Why do you not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? Mt. 16:11
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 say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mt. 16:18
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
And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee. Mt. 16:22
For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. Mt. 16:25
For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul? Mt. 16:26
And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. Mt. 17:4
Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain: Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible to you. Mt. 17:20
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
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Mt. 18:6
Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. Mt. 18:7
And if thy hand, or thy foot, scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. Mt. 18:8
And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Mt. 18:9
And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. Mt. 18:13
Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Mt. 18:14
Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 18:19
And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. Mt. 18:25
¤ And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan. Mt. 19:1
And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Mt. 19:3
He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Mt. 19:8
And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 19:9
His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry. Mt. 19:10
Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. Mt. 19:11
For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it. Mt. 19:12
And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 19:24
And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, Mt. 20:11
Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Is thy eye evil, because I am good? Mt. 20:15
He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father. Mt. 20:23
And the ten, hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren. Mt. 20:24
But Jesus called them to him and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and that they that are the greater, exercise power upon them. Mt. 20:25
It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister. Mt. 20:26
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: Mt. 21:4
And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves. Mt. 21:13
And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. Mt. 21:19
And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away? Mt. 21:20
And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done. Mt. 21:21
The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? Mt. 21:25
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
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 whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder. Mt. 21:44
But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city. Mt. 22:7
Tell us therefore what dost thou think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Mt. 22:17
And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine. Mt. 22:33
Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple is a debtor. Mt. 23:16
And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor. Mt. 23:18
He therefore that sweareth by the altar sweareth by it and by all things that are upon it. Mt. 23:20
And whosoever shall swear by the temple sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth in it. Mt. 23:21
Behold I have told it to you, beforehand. Mt. 24:25
If therefore they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert: go ye not out. Behold he is in the closets: believe it not. Mt. 24:26
So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors. Mt. 24:33
Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it to him that hath ten talents. Mt. 25:28
And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. Mt. 25:40
Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. Mt. 25:45
¤ And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples: Mt. 26:1
There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he was at table. Mt. 26:7
And the disciples seeing it had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste? Mt. 26:8
And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? For she hath wrought a good work upon me. Mt. 26:10
For she in pouring this ointment on my body hath done it for my burial. Mt. 26:12
But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples. Mt. 26:20
And they being very much troubled began every one to say: Is it I, Lord? Mt. 26:22
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born. Mt. 26:24
And Judas that betrayed him answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it. Mt. 26:25
And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father. Mt. 26:29
Then Jesus saith to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd: and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed. Mt. 26:31
And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt. Mt. 26:39
Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done. Mt. 26:42
How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done? Mt. 26:54
In that same hour, Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out, as it were to a robber, with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple: and you laid not hands on me. Mt. 26:55
And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and after three days to rebuild it. Mt. 26:61
Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of heaven. Mt. 26:64
Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? Look thou to it. Mt. 27:4
But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood. Mt. 27:6
And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it. Mt. 27:11

And immediately one of them running took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink. Mt. 27:48
And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. Mt. 27:57
And Joseph taking the body wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth: Mt. 27:59
And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument and went his way. Mt. 27:60
Pilate saith to them: You have a guard. Go, guard it as you know. Mt. 27:65

And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and coming rolled back the stone and sat upon it. Mt. 28:2
And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen. And behold he will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. Mt. 28:7

And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up. Mk. 4:4
And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth. Mk. 4:5

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 these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred. Mk. 4:20

But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mk. 7:6
Because it entereth not into his heart but goeth into the belly and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats? Mk. 7:19

And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it. Mk. 7:36

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it. Mk. 8:35

But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them: and their princes have power over them. Mk. 10:42

Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar? Mk. 12:14
Or shall we not give it? Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? Bring me a penny that I may see it. Mk. 12:15
And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's. Mk. 12:16

But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one by one: Is it I? Mk. 14:19

John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven. Jn. 3:27

The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil, Jn. 7:7
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
If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. Jn. 7:17

Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you. Acts 24:21
To whom I answered: it is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge. Acts 25:16
For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to signify the things laid to his charge. Acts 25:27
Why should it be thought a thing incredible that God should raise the dead? Acts 26:8
And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. Acts 26:14
¤ And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta, Acts 27:1
And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it. Acts 27:6
And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa. Acts 27:8
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
But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo. Acts 27:14
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall so be, as it hath been told me. Acts 27:25
And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited and continued fasting, taking nothing. Acts 27:33
And when 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 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
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done. And he commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and save themselves and get to land. Acts 27:43
And the rest, some they carried on boards and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass that every soul got safe to land. Acts 27:44
And 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
But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar: not that I had anything to accuse my nation of. Acts 28:19
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted. Acts 28:22
Be it known therefore to you that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles: and they will hear it. Acts 28:28
For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first and to the Greek. Rom. 1:16
For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith. Rom. 1:17
Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them. Rom. 1:19
(For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.) Rom. 2:24
And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law? Rom. 2:27
For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly: nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh. Rom. 2:28
But 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
As it is written: There is not any man just. Rom. 3:10
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
Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Rom. 3:27
For it is one God that justifieth circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith. Rom. 3:30
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice. Rom. 4:3
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 received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which he had, being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised: that unto them also it may be reputed to justice: Rom. 4:11
Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed: not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, Rom. 4:16
(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations), before God, whom he believed: who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things that are not, as those that are. Rom. 4:17
And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice. Rom. 4:22
Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice, Rom. 4:23
But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead, Rom. 4:24
And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation: but grace is of many offences unto justification. Rom. 5:16
Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto justice. Rom. 6:16
¤ Know you not, brethren (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as it liveth? Rom. 7:1
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me: and by it killed me. Rom. 7:11
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
If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good. Rom. 7:16
Now then it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me. Rom. 7:17
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
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
Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God. For it is not subject to the law of God: neither can it be. Rom. 8:7
For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope. Rom. 8:20
And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body. Rom. 8:23
But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience. Rom. 8:25
(As it is written: For thy sake, we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.) Rom. 8:36
It was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger. Rom. 9:12
As it is written: Jacob I have loved: but Esau I have hated. Rom. 9:13
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Rom. 9:16
O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus? Rom. 9:20
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
Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone. Rom. 9:32
As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone and a rock of scandal. And whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded. Rom. 9:33
For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it. Rom. 10:5
And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things? Rom. 10:15
And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. Rom. 11:6
What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded. Rom. 11:7
As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, until this present day. Rom. 11:8
And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Rom. 11:26
For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith. Rom. 12:3
If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men. Rom. 12:18
Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Rom. 12:19
For: 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
And that, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. Rom. 13:11
He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God. Rom. 14:6
For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. Rom. 14:11
I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Rom. 14:14
Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. Rom. 14:20
It is good not to eat flesh and not to drink wine: nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended or scandalized or made weak. Rom. 14:21
Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth. Rom. 14:22
For Christ did not please himself: but, as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. Rom. 15:3
But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles and will sing to thy name. Rom. 15:9
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
But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. Rom. 15:21
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
For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1 Cor. 1:11
For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God. 1 Cor. 1:18
For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject. 1 Cor. 1:19
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, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord. 1 Cor. 1:31
Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Cor. 2:8
But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Cor. 2:9
But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. 1 Cor. 2:14
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
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
Whether it be Paul or Apollo or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. For all are yours. 1 Cor. 3:22
Here now it is required among the dispensers that a man be found faithful. 1 Cor. 4:2
But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you or by man's day. But neither do I judge my own self. 1 Cor. 4:3
For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received, and if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 1 Cor. 4:7
For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death. We are made a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men. 1 Cor. 4:9
And we labour, working with our own hands. We are reviled: and we bless. We are persecuted: and we suffer it. 1 Cor. 4:12
¤ It is absolutely heard that there is fornication among you and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens: that one should have his father's wife. 1 Cor. 5:1
I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren? 1 Cor. 6:5
Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body. 1 Cor. 6:13
¤ Now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 1 Cor. 7:1
But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I. 1 Cor. 7:8
But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt. 1 Cor. 7:9
Wast thou called, being a bondman? Care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 1 Cor. 7:21
I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity: that it is good for a man so to be. 1 Cor. 7:26
This therefore I say, brethren: The time is short. It remaineth, that they also who have wives be as if they had none: 1 Cor. 7:29
And they that use this world, as if they used it not. For the fashion of this world passeth away. 1 Cor. 7:31
But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will. He sinneth not if she marry. 1 Cor. 7:36
For 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
If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things? 1 Cor. 9:11
But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die rather than that any man should make my glory void. 1 Cor. 9:15
For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me: for a necessity lieth upon me. For woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel. 1 Cor. 9:16
But I chastise my body and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway. 1 Cor. 9:27
Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. 1 Cor. 10:7
Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Cor. 10:13
The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? 1 Cor. 10:16
But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience' sake. 1 Cor. 10:28
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven. 1 Cor. 11:5
For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head. 1 Cor. 11:6
You yourselves judge. Doth it become a woman to pray unto God uncovered? 1 Cor. 11:13
Doth not even nature itself teach you that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him? 1 Cor. 11:14
But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. 1 Cor. 11:15
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
When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper. 1 Cor. 11:20
If the foot should say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the Body? 1 Cor. 12:15
And if the ear should say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the body? 1 Cor. 12:16
But now God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him. 1 Cor. 12:18
And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it: or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Cor. 12:26
And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor. 13:3
Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 1 Cor. 14:7
So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air. 1 Cor. 14:9
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding, I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding. 1 Cor. 14:15
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
How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification. 1 Cor. 14:26
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
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
Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you? 1 Cor. 14:36
If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die. 1 Cor. 15:32
Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak it to your shame. 1 Cor. 15:34
Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first. 1 Cor. 15:36
But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body. 1 Cor. 15:38
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
It is sown a natural body: it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, 1 Cor. 15:44
As it is written: The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit. 1 Cor. 15:45
On the first day of the week, let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him: that when I come, the collections be not then to be made. 1 Cor. 16:2
And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me. 1 Cor. 16:4
And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure. 1 Cor. 16:12
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
Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not? 2 Cor. 1:17
But God is faithful: for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not. 2 Cor. 1:18
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
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
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
And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost, 2 Cor. 4:3
But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe. For which cause we speak also: 2 Cor. 4:13
For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil. 2 Cor. 5:10
For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for you. 2 Cor. 5:13
For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us, for Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 5:20
For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you: yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge. In all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter. 2 Cor. 7:11
Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it: but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you before God: 2 Cor. 7:12
Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have. 2 Cor. 8:11
For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not. 2 Cor. 8:12
As it is written: He that had much had nothing over; and he that had little had no want. 2 Cor. 8:15
¤ For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you. 2 Cor. 9:1
Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness. 2 Cor. 9:5
As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. 2 Cor. 9:9
But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles, 2 Cor. 10:9
Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it. 2 Cor. 11:11
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works. 2 Cor. 11:15
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
¤ If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed) but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 Cor. 12:1
That he was caught up into paradise and heard secret words which it is not granted to man to utter. 2 Cor. 12:4
For which thing, thrice I besought the Lord that it might depart from me. 2 Cor. 12:8
But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile. 2 Cor. 12:16
For neither did I receive it of man: nor did I learn it but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Gal. 1:12
For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God and wasted it. Gal. 1:13
But when it pleased him who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace, Gal. 1:15
But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man): for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing. Gal. 2:6
Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain. Gal. 3:4
He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles among you: doth he do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of the faith? Gal. 3:5
As it is written: Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice. Gal. 3:6
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
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree). Gal. 3:13
Brethren (I speak after the manner of man), yet a man's testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth nor addeth to it. Gal. 3:15
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise. Gal. 3:18
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
Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes and would have given them to me. Gal. 4:15
For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman. Gal. 4:22
For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband. Gal. 4:27
But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit: so also it is now. Gal. 4:29
For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. Eph. 2:8

and al hartes it maketh honest, and it remembreth not king, nor magistrate, and it maketh a man speake al thinges by talentes. 3 Esd. 3:21
O ye men, not the great king, & many men, neither is it wine that dothe excel. Who is it then that hath the dominion of them? 3 Esd. 4:14
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 taking of the crowne from his head, and putting it vpon her self, and with the palme of her left hand she stroke the king. 3 Esd. 4:30
Al the earth calleth vpon the truth, heauen also blesseth it, and al workes are moued, and tremble at it, and there is not any thing with it vniust. 3 Esd. 4:36
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 he left speaking. And al the people cryed, and sayd: Great is truth and it preuaileth. 3 Esd. 4:41
Then the king sayd to him: Aske, if thou wilt any more, then the thinges that are writen, and I wil geue it thee, according as thou art found wiser then thy neighbours, & thou shalt sitte next to me, and shalt be called my cosin. 3 Esd. 4:42
and to the building of the temple to geue euerie yeare twentie talentes vntil it were throughly built: 3 Esd. 4:51
and they were called by his name, and the writing of the kinred of these was sought in the register, and it was not found, and they were forbid to doe the function of priesthood. 3 Esd. 5:39
that they might offer vpon it holocaustes, according to the thinges that are writen in the booke of Moyses the man of God. 3 Esd. 5:49
And they celebrated the feast of Tabernacles, and the solemne day, as it is commanded in the lawe: and sacrifices dayly, as it behoued: 3 Esd. 5:51
in so much that the people heard not the trumpettes for the lamentatinon of the people. For the multitude was sounding with trumpettes magnifically, so that it was heard far of. 3 Esd. 5:65
And the enimes of the tribe of Iuda, and Beniamin heard it, and they came to knowe what the voyce of the trumpettes was: 3 Esd. 5:66
It is not for vs and you to build the house of our God. For we alone wil build to our Lord of Israel according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded. 3 Esd. 5:71
And they were not hindered from building, til it was signified to Darius of al these thinges, and answer was receiued. 3 Esd. 6:6
And throwing downe this house they burnt it, and they led the people captiue into Babylon. 3 Esd. 6:16
And it was commanded them that they should offer these vessels, & lay them vp in the temple, which was in Ierusalem, and build the temple of God itself in his place. 3 Esd. 6:19
Then did Salmanasar lay the fundations of the house of our Lord, which is in Ierusalem: and from that time vntil now it is a building, and is not accomplished. 3 Esd. 6:20
Now therfore if thou thincke it good o king, let it be sought in the kings liberaries of Cyrus the king, which are in Babylon: 3 Esd. 6:21
and if it shal be found, that the building of the house of the Lord, which is in Ierusalem, begane by the counsel of Cyrus the king, and it be thought good of our Lord the king, let him write to vs of these thinges. 3 Esd. 6:22
And I also haue geuen commandment to build it wholly: and haue prouided, that they helpe them, which are of the captiuitie of the Iewes, til the temple of the house of the Lord be accomplished. 3 Esd. 6:28
And that it be denounced, that whosoeuer shal transgresse anie thing of these which are writen, or shal despise it, a beame be taken of theyr owne, & they be hanged, & their goodes be confiscate to the king. 3 Esd. 6:32
I Darius the king haue decreed that it be most diligently done according to these thinges. 3 Esd. 6:34
I of curtesie esteming it among benifites, haue commanded them that of their owne accord are desirous of the nation of the Iewes, and of the Priestes and Leuites, which are in my kingdom, to goe with thee into Ierusalem. 3 Esd. 8:11
If anie therfore desire to goe with thee, let them come together, and set forward as it hath pleased me, and my seuen freindes my counselers: 3 Esd. 8:12
which is geuen for the nation it self vnto the temple of their Lord which is in Ierusalem: that this gold and siluer be gathered for oxen, and rammes, and lambes, and kiddes, and for the thinges that are agreable to these, 3 Esd. 8:15
And al thinges whatsoeuer thou with thy brethren wilt doe with gold and siluer, doe it at thy pleasure according to the precept of the Lord thy God. 3 Esd. 8:17
And other thinges whatsoeuer shal helpe thee to the workes of the temple of thy God, thou shalt geue it out of the kings treasure. 3 Esd. 8:19
And to you it is sayd, that vpon al the Priestes, and Leuites, and sacred singers, and seruantes of the temple, & scribes of this temple 3 Esd. 8:24
And when I had weyed it, I deliuered of siluer an hundred fiftie talentes, and siluer vessels of an hundred talentes, and of gold an hundred talentes. 3 Esd. 8:57
And those Priestes and Leuites that receiued the gold and siluer and vessels, brought it to Ierusalem into the temple of our Lord. 3 Esd. 8:61
For they are ioyned to their daughters both themselues, and their sonnes: and the holie sede is mingled with the strange nations of the earth, and the rulers and magistrates were partakers of that iniquitie from the beginning of the reigne it self. 3 Esd. 8:71
saying: That the land into which ye entred to possesse the inheritance therof, is a land polluted with the coinquinations of the strangers of the land, and their vncleanes hath filled it wholy with their filthines. 3 Esd. 8:84
Behold, now we are in thy sight in our iniquities. For it is not to stand any longer before thee in these matters. 3 Esd. 8:91
And when Esdras with adoration confessed weeping, lying flat on the ground before the temple, there were gathered before him out of Ierusalem a verie great multitude, men and wemen, and yong men and yong wemen. For there was great weeping in the multitude it self. (1 Esd. 10:1) 3 Esd. 8:92
As it was decreed to thee of the ancesters according to the law of our Lord, rising vp declare it. 3 Esd. 8:95
that whosoeuer shal not appeare with in two or three dayes, according to the iudgement of the ancients sitting vpon it, their goods should be taken away, and himselfe should be iudged an alien from the multitude of the captiuitie. 3 Esd. 9:4
But doe thou shake of the heare of thy head, and throw al euils vpon them: because they haue not obeyed my law. And it is a people without discipline. 4 Esd. 1:8
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
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
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 it came to passe, when they began to be multiplied, that dwelt vpon the earth, & multiplied children and peoples and manie nations: and they begane againe to doe impietie more then the former. 4 Esd. 3:12
And it came to passe when they did iniquitie before thee, thou didst choose thee a man of them whose name was Abraham. 4 Esd. 3:13
And it came to passe when thou didst bring forth his sede out of AEgypt, thou broughst it vpon mount Sinai. (Ex. 19) 4 Esd. 3:17
And it was made a permanent infirmitie, and the law with the hart of the people, with the wickednes of the roote, and that which is good departed, and the wicked remayned. 4 Esd. 3:22
and spakest vnto him to build a citie of thy name, and to offer vnto thee in it frankencense, and oblations. 4 Esd. 3:24
It came to passe when I was come hither, and had sene the impieties that can not be numbred: and my soul saw manie offending this thirteth yeare, & my hart was astonied: 4 Esd. 3:29
because I saw how thou bearest with their sinne, and didst spare them that did impiously, and didst destroy thine owne people, and preserue thine enimies, and didst not signifie it. 4 Esd. 3:30
And I sayd: It is so my Lord. And he answered me, & sayd: I am sent to shew thee three wayes, & to propose to thee three similitudes. 4 Esd. 4:3
And I answered, and sayd: what man borne can doe it, that thou askest me of these thinges? 4 Esd. 4:6
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 said: Come and let vs goe, and make warre against the sea, that it may retyre backe before vs, and we may make vs other woodes. 4 Esd. 4:14
And the woodes deuise was made vaine, for fire came, and consumed it. 4 Esd. 4:16
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 esteme with thy self the graine of the il seede, how much fruite of impietie it hath ingendred: 4 Esd. 4:31
And he answered me, and sayd: Goe, and aske a woman with childe, if when she hath accomplished her nine monethes, her wombe can yet hold the infant within it? 4 Esd. 4:40
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
From the beginning it shal be shewed thee touching those thinges, which thou doest couet to see. 4 Esd. 4:43
And I answered, and sayd: If I haue found grace before thine eyes, & if it be possible, and if I by fitte, 4 Esd. 4:44
And I stood, and saw: and behold a burning fornace passed before me, & it came to passe when the flame passed, I saw: and behold the smoke ouercame. 4 Esd. 4:48
And they shal put their foote into the countrie which now thou seest to reigne, and they shal see it desolate. 4 Esd. 5:3
and it shal be sought of manie, and shal not be found: and iniustice shal be multiplied, and incontinencie vpon the earth. 4 Esd. 5:10
And one countrie shal aske her neighbour, and shal say: Hath iustice doing iust passed throught thee? and she shal denie it. 4 Esd. 5:11
And it shal be in that time, men shal hope, and shal not obtaine: they shal labour, and their wayes shal not haue successe. 4 Esd. 5:12
And I awaked, and my bodie did shiuer excedingly: and my soule laboured, that it fainted: 4 Esd. 5:14
And 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
And it came to passe after seuen dayes, and againe cogitations of my hart molested me very much, 4 Esd. 5:21
and they haue troden vpon it, which gainesayd thy couenants, and which beleued not thy testamentes. 4 Esd. 5:29
And if hating thou hatest thy people, it ought to be chastised with thy handes. 4 Esd. 5:30
And it came to passe, when I had spoken the wordes, and the Angel was sent to me, that came to me before the night past, 4 Esd. 5:31
And I sayd: Speake my Lord. And he sayd to me: Thou art become excedingly in excesse of minde for Israel: hast thou loued it more then him that made it? 4 Esd. 5:33
And he answered me, and sayd: The creature can not hasten aboue the Creatour, nor the world sustayne them that are to be created in it, at once. 4 Esd. 5:44
And I sayd: As thou didst say to thy seruant, that quickening thou didst quicken the creature created by thee at once, and the creature susteined it: it may now also beare them present at once. 4 Esd. 5:45
And he sayd to me: Aske the matrice of a woman, & thou shalt say to it: And if thou bring forth children, why by times? Aske it therfore, that it geue ten at once. 4 Esd. 5:46
And I sayd, it can not verily: but according to time. 4 Esd. 5:47
And he sayd to me: And I haue geuen a matrice to the earth for them, that are sowen vpon it by time. 4 Esd. 5:48
and they that are after you, of lesser then you, as it were creatures now waxing old, and past the strength of youth. 4 Esd. 5:55
And it shal be as it were a commotion, neither shal the place be moued wherin thou standest. 4 Esd. 6:14
Therfore when it speaketh be not thou afrayd, because of the end is the word, and the fundation of the earth vnderstood, 4 Esd. 6:15
for concerning them the word trembleth and is moued, for it knoweth that their end must be changed. 4 Esd. 6:16
And it came to passe, when I had heard, I rose vpon my feete, and I heard: and behold a voice speaking, and the sound therof as the sound of manie waters: 4 Esd. 6:17
and it sayd: Behold the dayes come, and the time shal be when I wil begyne to approch, that I may visite the inhabitantes vpon the earth. 4 Esd. 6:18
And it shal be in that time, freindes as enimies shal ouerthrow freindes, and the earth shal be afrayd with them: & the vaynes of fountaynes shal stand, and shal not runne in three howres: 4 Esd. 6:24
and it shal be, euerie one that shal be leaft of al these, of whom I haue foretold thee, he shal be saued, and shal see my saluation, & the end of your world. 4 Esd. 6:25
And it came to passe, when he spake to me, & I loe by litle & litle looked on him before whom I stood, 4 Esd. 6:29
And 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 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
But to Leuiathan thou gauest the seuenth part being moyst, and kepst it, that it might be to deuoure whom thou wilt, and when thou wilt. 4 Esd. 6:52
But the residue of the nations borne of Adam thou saydst that they were nothing, and that they were like to spittle, and as it were the droping out of a vessel thou didst liken the abundance of them. 4 Esd. 6:56
¤ AND it came to passe when I had ended to speake these wordes, the Angel was sent to me, which had bene sent to me the first nights, 4 Esd. 7:1
And 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
For who witting wil enter into the sea, and see it, or rule ouer it: if he passe not the streite, how shal he come into the bredth? 4 Esd. 7:5
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
And if the citie shal be geuen a man for inheritance, if he neuer passe through the peril set before it, how shal he receiue his inhertance? 4 Esd. 7:9
And I sayd: So Lord. And he sayd to me, So it is: Israel also a part. 4 Esd. 7:10
Behold the time shal come, and it shal be when the signes shal come, which I haue foretold thee, and the bride shal appeare, and appearing she shal be shewed that now is hid with the earth: 4 Esd. 7:26
And it shal be after these yeares, and my sonne CHRIST shal dye: and al men that haue breath, 4 Esd. 7:29
And it shal be after seuen dayes, and the world shal be raysed vp that yet waketh not, and shal dye corrupted: 4 Esd. 7:31
and the earth shal render the thinges that sleepe in it, & the dust them that dwel in it with silence, and the cellars shal render the soules that are commended to them. 4 Esd. 7:32
And the pit of torment shall appear, and over against it shall be the place of rest: and the furnace of hell shall be shewed, and over against it the paradise of delight. 4 Esd. 7:36
for it shall endure as it were a week of years. 4 Esd. 7:43
For it were better that the dust itself had been unborn, so that the mind might not have been made therefrom. 4 Esd. 7:63
But now the mind groweth with us, and by reason of this we are tormented, because we perish and know it. 4 Esd. 7:64
For it is far better with them than with us; for they look not for judgement, neither do they know of torments or of salvation promised unto them after death. 4 Esd. 7:66
For what doth it profit us, that we shall be preserved alive, but yet be afflicted with torment? 4 Esd. 7:67
and if after death we were not to come into judgement, peradventure it had been better for us. 4 Esd. 7:69
For thou hast a treasure of good works laid up with the Most High, but it shall not be shewed thee until the last times. 4 Esd. 7:77
For concerning death the teaching is: When the determinate sentence hath gone forth from the Most High that a man should die, as the spirit leaveth the body to return again to him who gave it, it adoreth the glory of the Most High first of all. 4 Esd. 7:78
And if it be one of those that have been scorners and have not kept the way of the Most High, and that have despised his law, and that hate them that fear God, 4 Esd. 7:79
The first order, because they have striven with great labour to overcome the evil thought which was fashioned together with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 4 Esd. 7:92
The sixth order, when it is shewed unto them how their face shall shine as the sun, and how they shall be made like unto the light of the stars, being henceforth incorruptible. 4 Esd. 7:97
If therfore now when corruptible did increase, and iniustice was multiplied, and the iust prayed for the impious: why now also shal it not be so? 4 Esd. 7:111
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
and sayd: This is my word the first and the last, that it had bene better not to geue the earth to Adam, or when he had now geuen it, to restraine him that he should not sinne. 4 Esd. 7:116
For what doth it profit men presently to liue in sorow, and being dead to hope for punishment? 4 Esd. 7:117
O what hast thou done Adam? For if thou didst sinne, it was not made thy fal only, but ours also which came of thee. (Rom. 5:12) 4 Esd. 7:118
For what doth it profit vs if immortal time be promised to vs: but we haue done mortal workes? 4 Esd. 7:119
and he is long suffering, because he sheweth long sufferance to them that haue sinned, as it were with their owne workes: 4 Esd. 7:134
For if he shal not multiplie his mercies, the world shal not be made aliue with them that did inherite it. 4 Esd. 7:137
And I wil speake a similitude Esdras before thee. For as thou shalt aske the earth, and it wil tel thee, that it wil geue much more earth wherof earthen worke may be made, but a litle dust wherof gold is made: so also is the act of this present world. 4 Esd. 8:2
and 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
If then thou wilt destroy him that is made with so great labours: it is easie by thy commandment to be ordayned, that also which was made, might be preserued. 4 Esd. 8:14
For what is man, that thou art angrie with him: or the corruptible kinde, that thou art so bitter touching it? 4 Esd. 8:34
And he answered me, and sayd: Thou hast spoken somethinges rightly: and according to thy wordes, so also shal it be done, 4 Esd. 8:37
Therfore as I haue spoken, so also it is. 4 Esd. 8:40
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
¤ 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 it shal be, euery one that shal be saued, and that can escape by his workes, and by fayth, in which you haue beleeued, 4 Esd. 9:7
and 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
And he ansvvered me, and sayd: Like as the field so also the sedes: and as the flovvers, such also the colours: and as the workeman, such also the worke: and such as the husbandman, such is the husbandrie: because it was the time of the world. 4 Esd. 9:17
And I considered the world, and behold there was danger because of the cogitations that came in it. 4 Esd. 9:20
And I saw, and spared it very much: and I kept vnto my selfe a grape kernel of a cluster, and a plant of a great trybe. 4 Esd. 9:21
Let the multitude therfore perish, which was borne without cause, and let my kernel be kept, & my plant: because I finished it with much labour. 4 Esd. 9:22
And it came to passe after seuen dayes, and I sate downe vpon the grasse, and my hart was trubled ayayne as before. 4 Esd. 9:27
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 our fathers receiuing the law obserued it not, and kept not my ordinances, and the fruite of the law did not appeare: for it could not, because it was thine. 4 Esd. 9:32
For they that receiued it, perished, not keeping that which had bene sowen in them. (Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 9:33
And behold it is the custome, that when the earth hath receiued sede, or the sea a shippe, or some vessel meate or drinke: when that shal be destroyed wherin it was sowne, or into the which it was cast: 4 Esd. 9:34
that which was sowne, or cast in, or the thinges that were receiued, are destroyed withal, and the thinges receiued now tarye not with vs: but it is not so done to vs. 4 Esd. 9:35
We in dede that receiued the law, sinning haue perished, and our hart that receiued it: 4 Esd. 9:36
And it came to passe, after thirtie yeares God heard me thy handmayd, and saw my humilitie, and attended to my tribulation, and gaue me a sonne: and I was very ioyful vpon him, and my husband, and al my citizens, and we did glorifie the Strong exceedingly. 4 Esd. 9:45
And it came to passe when he was growen, and came to take a wife, I made a feast day. 4 Esd. 9:47
¤ AND it came to passe, when my sonne was entred into his inner chamber, he fel downe, and dyed: 4 Esd. 10:1
And it came to passe, when al were quiet to comfort me, that I might be quiet: and I arose in the night, and fled: and came as thou seest into this field. 4 Esd. 10:3
For aske the earth, and it wil tel thee: that it is she, that ought to lament the fal of so manie thinges that spring vpon it. 4 Esd. 10:9
but the earth according to the maner of the earth, and the present multitude in it hath departed as it came: and I saye to thee, 4 Esd. 10:13
I wil not doe it, neither wil I enter into the citie, but here wil I dye. 4 Esd. 10:18
And it came to passe, when I spake to her, her face did shine suddenly, and her shape, and her visage was made glistering, so that I was afrayde excedingly at her, & thought what this thing should be. 4 Esd. 10:25
And 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 it came to passe after thirtie yeares, Salomon built the citie, and offered oblations: then it was, when the barren bare a childe. 4 Esd. 10:46
And I saw, and behold the eagle flew with her winges, and reigned ouer the earth, and ouer them that dwel in it. 4 Esd. 11:5
And it came to passe, when it reigned, an end came to it, and the place therof appeared not: and the next rose vp, & reigned, that held much time. 4 Esd. 11:13
And it came to passe, when it reigned, & the end of it also came, that it appeared not as the former. 4 Esd. 11:14
And behold, a voice was sent forth to it, saying: 4 Esd. 11:15
And the third lifted vp it selfe, and held the principalitie as also the former: and that also appeared not. 4 Esd. 11:18
And so it chanced to al the other by one & by one to haue the principalitie, & agayne to appeare nowhere. 4 Esd. 11:19
And I saw, and behold in time the rest of the winges were sent vp on the right side, that they also might hold the principalitie: and of them there were that held it, but yet forthwith they appeared not. 4 Esd. 11:20
And I saw, and behold one was set vp, but forthwith it appeared not. 4 Esd. 11:26
And this head terrified al the earth, & ruled in it ouer them that inhabite the earth with much labour, and he that held the dominion of the whole world aboue al the winges that were. 4 Esd. 11:32
Is it not thou that hast ouercome of the foure beastes, which I made to reigne in my world, and that by them the end of their times might come? 4 Esd. 11:39
that al the earth may be refreshed, and may returne deliuered from thy violence, and may hope for his iudgement, and mercie that made it. 4 Esd. 11:46
¤ AND it came to passe, whiles the lyon spake these wordes to the eagle: I saw, 4 Esd. 12:1
But it was not interpreted to him, therfore I do now interprete it to thee. 4 Esd. 12:12
