He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

3558

And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.

3559

For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

3560

And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

3561

Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

3562

And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?

3563

For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

3564

Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.

3565

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

3566

Meraioth begat Amariah, and Amariah begat Ahitub,

3567

And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

3568

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

3569

Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?

3570

Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

3571

But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

3572

Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.

3574

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

3575

And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

3576

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

3577

And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

3578

And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.

3580

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

3581

Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.

3582

And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

3583

And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

3584

Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

3585

And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

3586

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

3588

And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

3589

So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

3590

Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.

3591

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.

3592

And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

3593

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

3594

But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

3595

And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

3596

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.

3597

All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.

3598

I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

3599

And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

3601

To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

3602

And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

3603

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

3604

For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

3605

For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.

3606

O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

3608

The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

3609

Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

3610

And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

3611

And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.

3612

Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.

3613

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

3614

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.

3615

Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

3616

The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

3618

And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

3619

Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.

3620

Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.

3621

O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!

3622

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

3623

I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

3626

Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

3627

(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!)

3628

On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

3629

And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

3630

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

3631

The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

3632

And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

3633

And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

3634

And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

3635

And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

3636

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

3637

The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

3638

Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

3639

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

3640

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.

3642

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3644

Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

3646

And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

3647

And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?

3648

The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.

3649

And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength.

3650

Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

3652

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

3653

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

3654

By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

3655

And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.

3656

And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

3657

Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.

3659

And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

3661

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

3662

And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

3663

For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

3664

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

3665

Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

3666

To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.

3667

The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!

3668

And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

3669

Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

3670

And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

3671

Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.

3672

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.

3673

For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.

3674

And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?

3675

And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

3676

When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

3677

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

3678

And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.

3679

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;

3680

As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

3682

Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

3683

Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

3684

And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

3685

Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

3686

Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

3687

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

3688

But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

3689

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.

3690

And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

3691

And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,

3692

Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.

3693

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

3696

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

3697

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

3698

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

3699

Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

3700

To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

3701

And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

3704

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

3705

Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

3706

And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

3707

Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

3708

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

3709

And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

3710

And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

3711

And they glorified God in me.

3713

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

3714

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.

3715

And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.

3716

And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

3717

If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

3718

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.

3719

And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

3720

According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

3721

For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

3722

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

3723

So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

3724

In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;

3725

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

3726

Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

3727

And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

3728

And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

3729

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.

3730

We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.

3731

Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

3732

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

3733

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

3734

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

3735

Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?

3736

And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

3738

And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

3739

Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

3740

And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

3741

And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

3742

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

3743

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.

3744

I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

3745

Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

3746

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.

3747

Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

3748

And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

3749

And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

3750

But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

3751

Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

3752

The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

3753

Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

3754

I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;

3755

All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

3756

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

3757

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

3758

Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

3760

Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:

3761

For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

3762

And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.

3763

So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.

3764

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

3765

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.

3766

Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

3767

Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

3768

Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,

3769

But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

3770

And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

3771

But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

3772

The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

3773

And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

3774

Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

3775

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

3776

And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

3777

3778

And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

3779

And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

3780

And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

3782

Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.

3783

And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.

3784

And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.

3786

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,

3787

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:

3788

But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:

3789

For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

3790

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

3791

Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

3792

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

3793

And the sons of Becher; Zemira, and Joash, and Eliezer, and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jerimoth, and Abiah, and Anathoth, and Alameth. All these are the sons of Becher.

3794

So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

3795

Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

3796

And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.

3797

And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

3798

Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

3800

Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

3801

And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

3802

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.

3803

Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

3804

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

3805

Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

3806

And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.

3807

But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

3808

Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

3809

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.

3810

And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

3811

Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

3812

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

3814

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.

3815

Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.

3817

Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.

3818

Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

3819

Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

3820

And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

3821

Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

3822

For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

3823

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

3824

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

3825

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.

3826

And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

3827

That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:

3828

Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

3829

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,

3831

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

3832

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

3833

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

3835

For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.

3836

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

3837

And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

3839

And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

3840

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

3842

And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.

3843

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

3844

And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.

3845

The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.

3846

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

3847

Of Issachar; Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

3848

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

3849

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

3851

Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.

3852

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.

3853

Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.

3854

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

3855

Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

3856

And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

3857

She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

3858

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

3859

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

3860

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

3861

This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

3862

And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

3863

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

3864

Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

3865

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

3866

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.

3868

Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.

3869

And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

3870

For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

3871

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

3872

But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

3873

And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

3874

For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

3876

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

3878

And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

3879

Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

3880

And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

3881

Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

3883

But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

3884

So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

3885

And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

3886

Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

3887

And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

3888

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

3889

Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

3890

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.

3891

The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.

3892

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

3893

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

3894

And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

3895

And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

3896

And charged them that they should not make him known:

3897

A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

3898

He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.

3899

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

3900

Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

3901

And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

3902

And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

3903

And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

3904

Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

3905

(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

3906

Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

3907

And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

3909

So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

3911

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.

3912

Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

3913

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

3914

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

3915

Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

3916

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

3917

And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

3918

For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

3919

And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

3920

I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

3921

There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

3922

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

3923

And hired counsellers against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.

3924

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

3926

The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

3928

The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3929

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

3930

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.

3931

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

3932

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

3933

The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.

3935

And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

3936

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

3937

Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

3938

By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

3939

The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.

3941

Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.

3942

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

3943

But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

3944

And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

3945

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

3946

But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

3947

And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;

3949

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

3950

But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

3951

Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.

3952

Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.

3953

She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

3954

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

3955

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

3956

Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

3957

And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

3958

And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

3959

Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

3960

The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

3961

Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

3964

Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

3965

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

3966

And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

3967

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

3968

And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.

3969

Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

3970

And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

3971

And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

3973

For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.

3974

For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

3975

So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.

3976

Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.

3977

Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

3978

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

3979

And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

3980

And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

3981

Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

3982

And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?

3983

And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

3984

How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

3985

One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

3986

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

3987

And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

3988

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.

3989

Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

3990

As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

3991

Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

3992

The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

3993

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

3994

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

3995
