018- And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
019- And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
020- And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
021- And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
022- And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
023- And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
024- And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
025- And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
026- And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
027- And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
028- And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
029- And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
030- And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
031- And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
032- And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
033- And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
034- Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

12 01 Genesis 037 generation
001- And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
002- These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
003- Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
004- And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
005- And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
006- And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
007- For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
008- And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
009- And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
010- And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
011- And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
012- And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
013- And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
014- And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
015- And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
016- And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
017- And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
018- And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
019- And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
020- Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
021- And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
022- And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
023- And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him;
024- And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
025- And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
026- And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
027- Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
028- Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
029- And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
030- And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
031- And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
032- And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
033- And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
034- And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
035- And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
036- And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
13 01 Genesis 050 generation
001- And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
002- And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
003- And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
004- And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
005- My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
006- And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
007- And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
008- And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
009- And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
010- And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
011- And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
012- And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
013- For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
014- And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
015- And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
016- And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
017- So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
018- And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
019- And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
020- But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
021- Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
022- And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
023- And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
024- And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
025- And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
026- So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

008- Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
009- And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
010- Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
011- Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
012- But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
013- And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:
014- And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor.
015- And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
016- And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
017- But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
018- And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
019- And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
020- Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
021- And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
022- And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

002- And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
003- And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

008- And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
009- Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

011- And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

015- And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
016- Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
017- And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
018- And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
019- And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
020- And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
021- And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.
022- But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

002- And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
003- And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
004- And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
005- And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
006- Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
007- And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
008- And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.

010- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
011- Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

002- This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
003- Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
004- And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
005- Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
006- And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
007- And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
008- And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
009- Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
010- And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
011- And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
012- For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
013- And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
014- And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
015- Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
016- And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
017- And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
018- In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
019- Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
020- Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

024- And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
025- And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
026- And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
027- That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
028- And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
029- And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
030- And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
031- And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
032- Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
033- And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
034- And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
035- And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
036- And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
037- And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
038- And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
039- And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
040- Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
041- And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
042- It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
043- And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
044- But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
045- A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
046- In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
047- All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
048- And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
049- One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
050- Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
051- And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
18 02 Exodus 016 generation

002- And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
003- And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
004- Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
005- And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
006- And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
007- And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
008- And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
009- And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
010- And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
011- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
012- I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
013- And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
014- And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
015- And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
016- This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
017- And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
018- And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
019- And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
020- Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
021- And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
022- And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
023- And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
024- And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
025- And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
026- Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
027- And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
028- And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
029- See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
030- So the people rested on the seventh day.
031- And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
032- And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
033- And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
034- As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
035- And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
036- Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
19 02 Exodus 017 generation
001- And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
002- Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
003- And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
004- And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
005- And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
006- Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
007- And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
008- Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
009- And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
010- So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
011- And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
012- But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
013- And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
014- And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
015- And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
016- For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

010- But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
011- For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
012- Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

023- Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
024- An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
025- And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

035- And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

039- And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
040- But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee.
041- And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
042- For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
043- Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor; but shalt fear thy God.
044- Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
045- Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
046- And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor.
047- And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
048- After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
049- Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
050- And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
051- If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
052- And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
053- And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.
054- And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
055- For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

013- And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
014- And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
015- Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
016- Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
017- And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
018- The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
019- Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
020- And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
021- But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
022- Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
023- Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
024- But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
025- (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
026- And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
027- How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
028- Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
029- Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
030- Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
031- But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
032- But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
033- And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
034- After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
035- I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
036- And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
037- Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
038- But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
039- And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
040- And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
041- And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
042- Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
043- For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
044- But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
045- Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
41 04 Numbers 015 generation
001- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
002- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
003- And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savor unto the LORD, of the herd or of the flock:
004- Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.
005- And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
006- Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
007- And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
008- And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
009- Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
010- And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
011- Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
012- According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
013- All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
014- And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
015- One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
016- One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
017- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
018- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
019- Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
020- Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
021- Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
022- And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
023- Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;
024- Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
025- And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
026- And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
027- And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
028- And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
029- Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
030- But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
031- Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
032- And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
033- And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
034- And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
035- And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
036- And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
037- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
038- Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
039- And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
040- That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
041- I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
42 04 Numbers 018 generation
001- And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
002- And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
003- And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
004- And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
005- And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
006- And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
007- Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
008- And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
009- This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
010- In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
011- And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
012- All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.
013- And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.
014- Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
015- Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
016- And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
017- But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
018- And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
019- All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
020- And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
021- And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
022- Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
023- But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
024- But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
025- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
026- Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
027- And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
028- Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
029- Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
030- Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
031- And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
032- And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
43 04 Numbers 032 generation
001- Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
002- The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
003- Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
004- Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
005- Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
006- And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
007- And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
008- Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
009- For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
010- And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
011- Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
012- Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
013- And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
014- And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
015- For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
016- And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
017- But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
018- We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
019- For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
020- And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
021- And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
022- And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
023- But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
024- Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
025- And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
026- Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
027- But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
028- So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
029- And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
030- But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
031- And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
032- We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
033- And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
034- And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
035- And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
036- And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
037- And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
038- And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
039- And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
040- And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
041- And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
042- And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
44 04 Numbers 035 generation
001- And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
002- Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
003- And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
004- And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
005- And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
006- And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
007- So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
008- And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
009- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
010- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
011- Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
012- And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
013- And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
014- Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
015- These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
016- And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
017- And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
018- Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
019- The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
020- But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
021- Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
022- But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
023- Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
024- Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
025- And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
026- But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
027- And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
028- Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
029- So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
030- Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
031- Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
032- And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
033- So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
034- Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
45 05 Deuteronomy 001 generation
001- These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
002- (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
003- And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
004- After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
005- On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
006- The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
007- Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
008- Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
009- And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
010- The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
011- (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
012- How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
013- Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
014- And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
015- So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
016- And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
017- Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
018- And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
019- And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
020- And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
021- Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
022- And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
023- And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
024- And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
025- And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
026- Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
027- And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
028- Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
029- Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
030- The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
031- And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
032- Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
033- Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
034- And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
035- Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.
036- Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
037- Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
038- But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
039- Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
040- But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
041- Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
042- And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
043- So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
044- And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
045- And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
046- So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
46 05 Deuteronomy 002 generation
001- Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
002- And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
003- Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
004- And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
005- Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
006- Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
007- For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
008- And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
009- And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
010- The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
011- Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
012- The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
013- Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
014- And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
015- For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
016- So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
017- That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
018- Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
019- And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
020- (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
021- A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
022- As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
023- And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
024- Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
025- This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
026- And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
027- Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
028- Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
029- (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
030- But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
031- And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
032- Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
033- And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
034- And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
035- Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
036- From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
037- Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbade us.
47 05 Deuteronomy 005 generation
001- And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
002- The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
003- The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
004- The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
005- (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
006- I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
007- Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
008- Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
009- Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
010- And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
011- Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
012- Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
013- Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:
014- But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
015- And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
016- Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
017- Thou shalt not kill.
018- Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
019- Neither shalt thou steal.
020- Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
021- Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's.
022- These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
023- And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
024- And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
025- Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
026- For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
027- Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
028- And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
029- O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
030- Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
031- But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
032- Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
033- Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
48 05 Deuteronomy 007 generation
001- When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
002- And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them:
003- Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
004- For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
005- But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
006- For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
007- The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
008- But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
009- Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
010- And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
011- Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
012- Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
013- And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
014- Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
015- And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
016- And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
017- If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
018- Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
019- The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
020- Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
021- Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
022- And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
023- But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
024- And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
025- The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
026- Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
49 05 Deuteronomy 023 generation
001- He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
002- A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
003- An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
004- Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
005- Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
006- Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
007- Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
008- The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
009- When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
010- If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
011- But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
012- Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
013- And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
014- For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
015- Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
016- He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
017- There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
018- Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
019- Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
020- Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
021- When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
022- But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
023- That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
024- When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
025- When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbor, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor's standing corn.
50 05 Deuteronomy 029 generation
001- These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
002- And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
003- The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
004- Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
005- And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
006- Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
007- And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
008- And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
009- Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
010- Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
011- Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
012- That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
013- That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
014- Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
015- But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
016- (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
017- And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
018- Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
019- And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
020- The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
021- And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
022- So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
023- And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
024- Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
025- Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
026- For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
027- And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
028- And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
029- The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
51 05 Deuteronomy 032 generation
001- Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
002- My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
003- Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
004- He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
005- They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
006- Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
007- Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
008- When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
009- For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
010- He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
011- As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
012- So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
013- He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
014- Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
015- But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
016- They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
017- They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
018- Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
019- And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
020- And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
021- They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
022- For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
023- I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
024- They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
025- The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
026- I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
027- Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
028- For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
029- O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
030- How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
031- For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
032- For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
033- Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
034- Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
035- To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
036- For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
037- And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
038- Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
039- See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
040- For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
041- If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
042- I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
043- Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
044- And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
045- And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
046- And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
047- For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
048- And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
049- Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
050- And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
051- Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
052- Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
52 06 Joshua 022 generation
001- Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
002- And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
003- Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.
004- And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
005- But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
006- So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
007- Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,
008- And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
009- And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
010- And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
011- And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.
012- And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
013- And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
014- And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
015- And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
016- Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
017- Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
018- But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
019- Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.
020- Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
021- Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
022- The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)
023- That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;
024- And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?
025- For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
026- Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
027- But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.
028- Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.
029- God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.
030- And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
031- And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
032- And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
033- And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
034- And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
53 07 Judges 002 generation
001- And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
002- And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
003- Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
004- And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
005- And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
006- And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
007- And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
008- And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
009- And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
010- And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
011- And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
012- And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
013- And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
014- And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
015- Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
016- Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
017- And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
018- And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
019- And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
020- And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
021- I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
022- That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
023- Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
54 07 Judges 003 generation
001- Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
002- Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
003- Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
004- And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
005- And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
006- And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
007- And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
008- Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
009- And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
010- And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
011- And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
012- And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
013- And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
014- So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
015- But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
016- But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
017- And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
018- And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
019- But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
020- And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlor, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
021- And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
022- And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
023- Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.
024- When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
025- And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
026- And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
027- And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
028- And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
029- And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.
030- So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
031- And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
55 08 Ruth 004 generation
001- Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
002- And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
003- And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:
004- And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
005- Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
006- And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
007- Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.
008- Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
009- And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
010- Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
011- And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
012- And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
013- So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
014- And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
015- And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
016- And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
017- And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
018- Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
019- And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
020- And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
021- And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
022- And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
56 12 2 Kings 010 generation
001- And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,
002- Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armor;
003- Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
004- But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
005- And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
006- Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
007- And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
008- And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
009- And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
010- Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.
011- So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolk, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
012- And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,
013- Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
014- And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
015- And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
016- And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.
017- And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
018- And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
019- Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
020- And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
021- And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.
022- And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
023- And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.
024- And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
025- And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
026- And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
027- And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
028- Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
029- Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
030- And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
031- But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
032- In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
033- From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
034- Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
035- And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
036- And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
57 12 2 Kings 015 generation
001- In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
002- Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
003- And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;
004- Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
005- And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.
006- And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
007- So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
008- In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
009- And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
010- And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
011- And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
012- This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.
013- Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.
014- For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
015- And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
016- Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
017- In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
018- And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
019- And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
020- And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
021- And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
022- And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.
023- In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.
024- And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
025- But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.
026- And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
027- In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.
028- And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
029- In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
030- And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
031- And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
032- In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.
033- Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
034- And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
035- Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.
036- Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
037- In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.
038- And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

65 17 Esther 009 generation
001- Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
002- The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
003- And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
004- For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
005- Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
006- And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
007- And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
008- And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
009- And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
010- The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
011- On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
012- And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
013- Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
014- And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
015- For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
016- But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
017- On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
018- But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
019- Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
020- And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
021- To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
022- As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
023- And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
024- Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
025- But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
026- Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
027- The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
028- And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
029- Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
030- And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
031- To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
032- And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

001- Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
002- I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
003- Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
004- Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
005- I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
006- Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
007- And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
008- Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
009- So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
010- And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
011- Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
012- So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
013- He had also seven sons and three daughters.
014- And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
015- And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
016- After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
017- So Job died, being old and full of days.

018- Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
019- Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
020- Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

001- Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
002- But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
003- For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
004- For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
005- They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
006- Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
007- Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
008- They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
009- They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
010- Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
011- And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
012- Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
013- Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
014- For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
015- If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
016- When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
017- Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
018- Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
019- How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
020- As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
021- Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
022- So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
023- Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
024- Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
025- Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
026- My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

79 19 Psalms 078 generation
001- Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
002- I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
003- Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
004- We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
005- For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
006- That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
007- That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
008- And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
009- The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
010- They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
011- And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
012- Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
013- He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
014- In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
015- He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
016- He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
017- And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
018- And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
019- Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
020- Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
021- Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
022- Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
023- Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
024- And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
025- Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
026- He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
027- He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
028- And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
029- So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
030- They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
031- The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
032- For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
033- Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
034- When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
035- And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
036- Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
037- For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
038- But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
039- For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
040- How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
041- Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
042- They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
043- How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.
044- And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
045- He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
046- He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
047- He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
048- He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
049- He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
050- He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
051- And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
052- But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
053- And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
054- And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
055- He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
056- Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
057- But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
058- For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
059- When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
060- So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
061- And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
062- He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
063- The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
064- Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
065- Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
066- And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
067- Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
068- But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
069- And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
070- He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
071- From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
072- So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
80 19 Psalms 079 generation
001- O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
002- The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
003- Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
004- We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
005- How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
006- Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
007- For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
008- O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
009- Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
010- Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
011- Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
012- And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
013- So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

008- I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
009- Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
010- Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
011- Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

006- The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
007- All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
008- Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
009- Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
010- And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
011- Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
012- For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
013- The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
014- The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
015- Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
016- Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
017- For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
018- Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
019- The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
020- Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
021- Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
022- A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
105 23 Isaiah 061 generation
001- The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
002- To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
003- To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
004- And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
005- And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
006- But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
007- For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
008- For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
009- And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
010- I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
011- For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
106 24 Jeremiah 002 generation
001- Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
002- Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
003- Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
004- Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
005- Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
006- Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
007- And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
008- The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
009- Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.
010- For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
011- Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
012- Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
013- For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
014- Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
015- The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
016- Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
017- Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
018- And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
019- Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
020- For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
021- Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
022- For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
023- How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
024- A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
025- Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
026- As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
027- Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
028- But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
029- Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
030- In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
031- O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
032- Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
033- Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
034- Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
035- Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
036- Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
037- Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
107 24 Jeremiah 007 generation
001- The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
002- Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
003- Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
004- Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
005- For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
006- If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
007- Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
008- Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
009- Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
010- And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
011- Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.
012- But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
013- And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
014- Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
015- And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
016- Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
017- Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
018- The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
019- Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
020- Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
021- Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
022- For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
023- But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
024- But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
025- Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
026- Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
027- Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
028- But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
029- Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
030- For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
031- And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
032- Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
033- And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
034- Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
108 24 Jeremiah 050 generation
001- The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
002- Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
003- For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
004- In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
005- They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
006- My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
007- All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
008- Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
009- For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
010- And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
011- Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
012- Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
013- Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
014- Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
015- Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
016- Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
017- Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
018- Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
019- And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
020- In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
021- Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
022- A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
023- How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
024- I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
025- The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
026- Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
027- Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
028- The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
029- Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
030- Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.
031- Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
032- And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
033- Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
034- Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
035- A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
036- A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
037- A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
038- A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.
039- Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
040- As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
041- Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
042- They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
043- The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
044- Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
045- Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
046- At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
109 25 Lamentations 005 generation
001- Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
002- Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
003- We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
004- We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
005- Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
006- We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
007- Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
008- Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
009- We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
010- Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
011- They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
012- Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
013- They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
014- The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
015- The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
016- The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
017- For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
018- Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
019- Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
020- Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
021- Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
022- But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
110 27 Daniel 004 generation
001- Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
002- I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
003- How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
004- I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
005- I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
006- Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
007- Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
008- But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,
009- O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
010- Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
011- The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
012- The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
013- I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
014- He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
015- Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:
016- Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
017- This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
018- This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
019- Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
020- The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
021- Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
022- It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
023- And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
024- This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
025- That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, 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.
026- And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
027- Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
028- All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
029- At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
030- The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
031- While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
032- And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
033- The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
034- And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
035- And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
036- At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
037- Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
111 29 Joel 001 generation
001- The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
002- Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
003- Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
004- That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
005- Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
006- For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
007- He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
008- Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
009- The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.
010- The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
011- Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
012- The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
013- Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
014- Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,
015- Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
016- Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
017- The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
018- How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
019- O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
020- The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
112 29 Joel 002 generation
001- Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
002- A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
003- A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
004- The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
005- Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
006- Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
007- They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
008- Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
009- They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
010- The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
011- And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
012- Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
013- And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
014- Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
015- Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
016- Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
017- Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
018- Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
019- Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
020- But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
021- Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
022- Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
023- Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
024- And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
025- And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
026- And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
027- And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
028- And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
029- And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
030- And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
031- The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
032- And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
113 29 Joel 003 generation
001- For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
002- I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
003- And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
004- Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
005- Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
006- The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
007- Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
008- And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
009- Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
010- Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
011- Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
012- Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
013- Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
014- Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
015- The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
016- The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
017- So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
018- And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
019- Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
020- But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
021- For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
114 40 Matthew 001 generation
001- The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
002- Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
003- And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
004- And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
005- And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
006- And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
007- And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
008- And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
009- And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
010- And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
011- And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
012- And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
013- And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
014- And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
015- And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
016- And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
017- So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
018- Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
019- Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
020- But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
021- And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
022- Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
023- Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
024- Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
025- And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
115 40 Matthew 003 generation
001- In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
002- And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
003- For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
004- And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
005- Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
006- And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
007- But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
008- Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
009- And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
010- And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
011- I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
012- Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
013- Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
014- But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
015- And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
016- And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
017- And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
116 40 Matthew 011 generation
001- And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
002- Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
003- And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
004- Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
005- The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
006- And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
007- And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
008- But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
009- But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
010- For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
011- Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
012- And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
013- For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
014- And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
015- He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
016- But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
017- And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
018- For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
019- The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
020- Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
021- Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
022- But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
023- And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
024- But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
025- At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
026- Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
027- All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
028- Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
029- Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
030- For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
117 40 Matthew 012 generation
001- At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
002- But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
003- But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
004- How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
005- Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
006- But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
007- But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
008- For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
009- And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
010- And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
011- And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
012- How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
013- Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
014- Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
015- But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
016- And charged them that they should not make him known:
017- That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
018- Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
019- He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
020- A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
021- And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
022- Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
023- And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
024- But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
025- And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
026- And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
027- And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
028- But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
029- Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
030- He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
031- Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
032- And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
033- Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
034- O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
035- A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
036- But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
037- For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
038- Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
039- But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
040- For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
041- The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
042- The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
043- When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
044- Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
045- Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
046- While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
047- Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
048- But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
049- And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
050- For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
118 40 Matthew 016 generation
001- The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
002- He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
003- And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
004- A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
005- And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
006- Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
007- And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
008- Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
009- Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
010- Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
011- How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
012- Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
013- When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
014- And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
015- He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
016- And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
017- And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
018- And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
019- And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
020- Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
021- From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
022- Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
023- But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
024- Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
025- For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
026- For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
027- For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
028- Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
119 40 Matthew 017 generation
001- And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
002- And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
003- And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
004- Then answered Peter, and said unto 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.
005- While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
006- And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
007- And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
008- And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
009- And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
010- And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
011- And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
012- But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
013- Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
014- And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
015- Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
016- And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
017- Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
018- And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
019- Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
020- And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
021- Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
022- And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
023- And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
024- And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
025- He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
026- Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
027- Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
120 40 Matthew 019 generation
001- And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
002- And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
003- The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
004- And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
005- And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
006- Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
007- They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
008- He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
009- And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
010- His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
011- But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
012- For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
013- Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
014- But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
015- And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
016- And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
017- And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
018- He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
019- Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
020- The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
021- Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
022- But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
023- Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
024- And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
025- When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
026- But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
027- Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
028- And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
029- And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
030- But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
121 40 Matthew 023 generation
001- Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
002- Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
003- All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
004- For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
005- But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
006- And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
007- And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
008- But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
009- And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
010- Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
011- But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
012- And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
013- But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
014- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
015- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
016- Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
017- Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
018- And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
019- Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
020- Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
021- And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
022- And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
023- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
024- Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
025- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
026- Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
027- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
028- Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
029- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
030- And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
031- Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
032- Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
033- Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
034- Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
035- That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
036- Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
037- O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
038- Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
039- For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
122 40 Matthew 024 generation
001- And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
002- And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
003- And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
004- And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
005- For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
006- And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
007- For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
008- All these are the beginning of sorrows.
009- Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
010- And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
011- And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
012- And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
013- But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
014- And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
015- When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
016- Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
017- Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
018- Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
019- And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
020- But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
021- For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
022- And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
023- Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
024- For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
025- Behold, I have told you before.
026- Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
027- For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
028- For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
029- Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
030- And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
031- And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
032- Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
033- So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
034- Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
035- Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
036- But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
037- But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
038- For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
039- And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
040- Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
041- Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
042- Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
043- But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
044- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
045- Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
046- Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
047- Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
048- But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
049- And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
050- The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
051- And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
123 41 Mark 008 generation
001- In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
002- I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
003- And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
004- And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
005- And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
006- And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
007- And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
008- So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
009- And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
010- And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
011- And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
012- And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
013- And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
014- Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
015- And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
016- And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
017- And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
018- Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
019- When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
020- And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
021- And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
022- And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
023- And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
024- And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
025- After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
026- And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
027- And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
028- And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
029- And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
030- And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
031- And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
032- And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
033- But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
034- And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
035- For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
036- For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
037- Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
038- Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
124 41 Mark 009 generation
001- And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
002- And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
003- And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
004- And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
005- And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
006- For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
007- And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
008- And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
009- And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
010- And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
011- And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
012- And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
013- But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
014- And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
015- And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
016- And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
017- And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
018- And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
019- He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
020- And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
021- And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
022- And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
023- Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
024- And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
025- When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
026- And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
027- But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
028- And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
029- And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
030- And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
031- For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
032- But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
033- And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
034- But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
035- And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
036- And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
037- Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
038- And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
039- But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
040- For he that is not against us is on our part.
041- For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
042- And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
043- And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
044- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
045- And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
046- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
047- And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
048- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
049- For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
050- Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
125 41 Mark 013 generation
001- And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
002- And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
003- And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
004- Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
005- And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
006- For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
007- And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
008- For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
009- But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
010- And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
011- But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
012- Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
013- And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
014- But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
015- And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
016- And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
017- But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
018- And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
019- For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
020- And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
021- And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
022- For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
023- But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
024- But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
025- And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
026- And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
027- And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
028- Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
029- So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
030- Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
031- Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
032- But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
033- Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
034- For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
035- Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
036- Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
037- And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
126 42 Luke 001 generation
001- Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
002- Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
003- It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
004- That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
005- THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
006- And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
007- And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
008- And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
009- According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
010- And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
011- And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
012- And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
013- But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
014- And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
015- For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
016- And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
017- And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
018- And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
019- And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
020- And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
021- And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
022- And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
023- And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
024- And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
025- Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
026- And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
027- To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
028- And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
029- And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
030- And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
031- And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
032- He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
033- And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
034- Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
035- And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
036- And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
037- For with God nothing shall be impossible.
038- And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
039- And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
040- And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
041- And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
042- And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
043- And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
044- For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
045- And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
046- And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
047- And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
048- For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
049- For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
050- And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
051- He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
052- He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
053- He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
054- He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
055- As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
056- And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
057- Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
058- And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
059- And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
060- And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
061- And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
062- And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
063- And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
064- And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
065- And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
066- And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
067- And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
068- Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
069- And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
070- As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
071- That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
072- To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
073- The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
074- That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
075- In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
076- And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
077- To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
078- Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
079- To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
080- And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
127 42 Luke 003 generation
001- Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
002- Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
003- And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
004- As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
005- Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
006- And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
007- Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
008- Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
009- And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
010- And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
011- He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
012- Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
013- And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
014- And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
015- And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
016- John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
017- Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
018- And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
019- But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
020- Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
021- Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
022- And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
023- And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
024- Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,

028- Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,
029- Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
030- Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
031- Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,
032- Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,
033- Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,
034- Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
035- Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,
036- Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,
037- Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,
038- Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
128 42 Luke 007 generation
001- Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
002- And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
003- And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
004- And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
005- For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
006- Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
007- Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
008- For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
009- When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
010- And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
011- And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
012- Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
013- And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
014- And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
015- And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
016- And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
017- And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
018- And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
019- And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
020- When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
021- And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
022- Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
023- And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
024- And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
025- But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
026- But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
027- This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
028- For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
029- And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
030- But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
031- And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
032- They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
033- For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
034- The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
035- But wisdom is justified of all her children.
036- And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
037- And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
038- And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
039- Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
040- And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
041- There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
042- And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
043- Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
044- And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
045- Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
046- My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
047- Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
048- And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
049- And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
050- And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
129 42 Luke 009 generation
001- Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
002- And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
003- And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
004- And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
005- And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
006- And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
007- Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
008- And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
009- And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
010- And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
011- And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
012- And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
013- But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
014- For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
015- And they did so, and made them all sit down.
016- Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
017- And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
018- And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
019- They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
020- He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
021- And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
022- Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
023- And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
024- For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
025- For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
026- For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
027- But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
028- And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
029- And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
030- And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
031- Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
032- But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
033- And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
034- While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
035- And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
036- And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
037- And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
038- And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
039- And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
040- And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
041- And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
042- And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
043- And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
044- Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
045- But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
046- Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
047- And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
048- And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
049- And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
050- And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
051- And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
052- And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
053- And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
054- And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
055- But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
056- For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
057- And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
058- And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
059- And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
060- Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
061- And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
062- And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
130 42 Luke 011 generation
001- And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
002- And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
003- Give us day by day our daily bread.
004- And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
005- And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
006- For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
007- And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
008- I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
009- And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
010- For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
011- If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
012- Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
013- If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
014- And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
015- But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
016- And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
017- But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
018- If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
019- And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
020- But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
021- When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
022- But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
023- He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
024- When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
025- And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
026- Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
027- And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
028- But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
029- And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
030- For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
031- The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
032- The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
033- No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
034- The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
035- Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
036- If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
037- And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
038- And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
039- And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
040- Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
041- But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
042- But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
043- Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
044- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
045- Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
046- And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
047- Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
048- Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
049- Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
050- That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
051- From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
052- Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
053- And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
054- Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
131 42 Luke 016 generation
001- And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
002- And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
003- Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
004- I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
005- So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
006- And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
007- Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
008- And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
009- And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
010- He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
011- If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
012- And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
013- No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
014- And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
015- And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
016- The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
017- And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
018- Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
019- There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
020- And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
021- And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
022- And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
023- And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
024- And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
025- But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
026- And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
027- Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
028- For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
029- Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
030- And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
031- And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
132 42 Luke 017 generation
001- Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
002- It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
003- Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
004- And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
005- And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
006- And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
007- But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
008- And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
009- Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
010- So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
011- And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
012- And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
013- And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
014- And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
015- And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
016- And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
017- And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
018- There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
019- And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
020- And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
021- Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
022- And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
023- And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
024- For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
025- But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
026- And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
027- They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
028- Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
029- But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
030- Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
031- In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
032- Remember Lot's wife.
033- Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
034- I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
035- Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
036- Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
037- And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
133 42 Luke 021 generation
001- And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
002- And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
003- And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
004- For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
005- And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
006- As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
007- And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
008- And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
009- But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
010- Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
011- And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
012- But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
013- And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
014- Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
015- For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
016- And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
017- And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
018- But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
019- In your patience possess ye your souls.
020- And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
021- Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
022- For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
023- But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
024- And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
025- And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
026- Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
027- And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
028- And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
029- And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
030- When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
031- So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
032- Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
033- Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
034- And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
035- For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
036- Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
037- And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

001- And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
002- And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
003- And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
004- And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
005- And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
006- Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
007- And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
008- And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
009- Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
010- Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
011- Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
012- And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
013- Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
014- But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
015- For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
016- But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
017- And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
018- And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
019- And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
020- The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
021- And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
022- Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
023- Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
024- Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
025- For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
026- Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
027- Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
028- Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
029- Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
030- Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
031- He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
032- This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
033- Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
034- For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
035- Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
036- Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
037- Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
038- Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
039- For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
040- And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
041- Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
042- And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
043- And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
044- And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
045- And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
046- And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
047- Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
135 44 Acts 008 generation
001- And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
002- And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
003- As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
004- Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
005- Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
006- And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
007- For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
008- And there was great joy in that city.
009- But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
010- To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
011- And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
012- But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
013- Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
014- Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
015- Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
016- (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
017- Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
018- And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
019- Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
020- But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
021- Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
022- Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
023- For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
024- Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
025- And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
026- And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
027- And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
028- Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
029- Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
030- And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
031- And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
032- The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
033- In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
034- And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
035- Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
036- And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
037- And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
038- And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
039- And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
040- But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
136 44 Acts 013 generation
001- Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
002- As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
003- And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
004- So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
005- And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
006- And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
007- Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
008- But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
009- Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
010- And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
011- And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
012- Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
013- Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
014- But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
015- And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
016- Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
017- The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
018- And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
019- And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
020- And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
021- And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
022- And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
023- Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
024- When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
025- And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
026- Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
027- For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
028- And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
029- And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
030- But God raised him from the dead:
031- And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
032- And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
033- God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
034- And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
035- Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
036- For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
037- But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
038- Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
039- And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
040- Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
041- Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
042- And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
043- Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
044- And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
045- But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
046- Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
047- For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
048- And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
049- And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
050- But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
051- But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
052- And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
137 51 Colossians 001 generation
001- Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
002- To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
003- We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
004- Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
005- For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
006- Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
007- As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
008- Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
009- For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
010- That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
011- Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
012- Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
013- Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
014- In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
015- Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
016- For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
017- And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
018- And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
019- For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
020- And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
021- And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
022- In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
023- If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
024- Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
025- Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
026- Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
027- To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
028- Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
029- Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
138 56 Titus 003 generation
001- Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
002- To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
003- For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
004- But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
005- Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
006- Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
007- That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
008- This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
009- But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
010- A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
011- Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
012- When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
013- Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
014- And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
015- All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
139 58 Hebrews 003 generation
001- Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
002- Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
003- For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
004- For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
005- And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
006- But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
007- Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
008- Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
009- When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
010- Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
011- So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
012- Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
013- But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
014- For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
015- While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
016- For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
017- But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
018- And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
019- So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
140 60 1 Peter 002 generation
001- Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
002- As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
003- If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
004- To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
005- Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
006- Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
007- Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
008- And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
009- But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
010- Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
011- Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
012- Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
013- Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
014- Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
015- For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
016- As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
017- Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
018- Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
019- For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
020- For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
021- For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
022- Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
023- Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
024- Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
025- For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
