and stars.. ..26 Of man in Jie image of God.. ..29 Also the
appointment of food.
IN the beginning' God created the '' heaven and the
earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void : and
darkness tvas upon the face of the deep : and the
' S))irit of God moved upon the face of tlic waters.
3 And "^ God said, Let there be light : and there
was light.
4 And God saW the light, that it was good : and
God t divided the light from the darkness.
6 And God called the light Day, and the dark-
n(!ss he called Night. And the f evening and the
morning were the first day.
6 II And God said, ' Let there bo j- a firmament in
tiie midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters
from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the wa-
ter.s which were under the firmament from the waters
which were^ above the firmament: and it was so.
H Aii(l God called the firmament Heaven. And
the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 1i And God said. Let the waters under the
heaven be gathered together unto ' one place, and
let the dry lorid appear : and it was so.
10 And God called the«dry font? Earth, and the
CTthering together of the waters called he Seas : and
God saw that it tvas good.
1 1 And God said. Let the Earth t bring forth
grass, the herb >;ielding seed, and the fruit-tree yield-
ing fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itiielf, upon
the earth : and it was so.
12 And the Earth brought forth grass, and herb
yielding seed after his "kind, *and the tree yielding
fruit, whose seed toas in itself, after his kind : and
Gotl saw that it ivas good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the
third day.
14 II And God said, Let there be 'lights in the
firmament of the heaven, to divide t the day from
the night : and let them be for signs, and for sea-
sons, and for days;, and years :
1 5 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the
heaven, to give light upon the earth : and it was so.
16 And Go«l made two great lights : ihe greater
light to t rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the
night : he made the stars also.
17 And God " set them in tlie firmament of the
heaven, to give light upon the earth,
18 And to' nile over the day and wr the night,
and to divide the light from the darkne. : and God
saw that it was gcK)d.
19 And the evening and the morning were the
foifrth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth
abundantly the moving creature that hath t lite, and
fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firma-
ment of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and ewrv living
creature that moveth, Avhich the waters brougnt forth
abundantly, after their kind, and (iverj' winged fowl
after his kind : and Gtxl saw that it tvas good.
22 And God " blessed them, saj;ing. tie fruitful,
and multiplj^, and fill the waters in tlie .seas ; ami
let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And tht evening and the morning were the
fifth day.
24 And God said. Let the earth bring forth the
living creature alter his kind, cattle, and creeping
thing, and beast of tht v-arth after his kind : and it
was so.
25 And God made tlie beast of the earth after his
kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing
that cree[)eth upon the earth after his kind : and
God saw that it ivas good.
26 And God said, "Let us make man in "our image,
after our likeness,- and let them have ^dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image ; in
the image of God created he him ; ""male and female
created ne them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, ' Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it : and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over every living thing that moveth J upon the
earth.
29 H And God said. Behold, I have given you every
herb f bearing seed, which wupon the face of all the
earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a
tree yielding seed ; " to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to * every beast of the earth, and vo every
fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon
the earth, wherein there wf life, I have given every
green herb for meat : and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made,
and liehold, k was " very good. And the evenmg
and the morning were the sixth day.

Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering
unto the Lord.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the '' firstlings of
his flock, and of the " fat thereof. And the Lord J
liad "" respect unto Abel, and to his offering : !
3 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not re- \
spect. And Cain was very * wroth, and his eouiite- \

6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou \

7 If thou ' doest well, shalt thou not || be accept-

8 Ajid Cain '' talked with Abel his brother : and it

9 11 And the Lord said unto Cain, "^ Where is
Abel thy brother .'' And he said, ' I know not : Am
I my brother's keeper .''

the ° face of the earth ; and from thy face shall I be
hid : and I shall be a fugitive and a vagal)ond in the
earth : and it sliall come to pass, that every one that
findeth me shall ^ slay me.

«.«.'*^ brought forth cattle ring-straked, speckled, and

40 And Jacob did se|)arate the lambs, and set the fa-
ces of the flocks toward the ring-straked and ail the
brown in the flock of Laban ; and he put his own floeks
by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger
cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the
_ eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might con-

42 But when the cattle were * feeble he i)ut them
not in : so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger
Jacob'.s.
43 And the man f increased f exceedingly, and
had much cattle, and maid-servants, and men-ser-

22 Phaiaoh comniaadeth the male chiUlren to be cast into
the river.
■ TVrOW these are the " names of the childron of
J. 1 Israel, waich eame into Egyjjt ; every man and
Ins household came with Jacoli.
2 '' Reulien, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 •= Issachar, Zebulun, and " Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Ashcr.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of
Jacob were 'seventy souls: 'for Joseiih was uiEgjpt
already.
6 And Joseph died, and all «his brethren, and all
that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruilful, and ''in-
creased abundantly, and multiiilied, and waved ex-
ceednig mighty; and the land was filled \vith them.
« Tl Now there arose up a 'new king over Egyi.t,
which ' knew not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his neople, Behold, the peoi)l(; of
thednldren oi Israel are ' more and miijiuier than we :
10 ■» Com )u, let us " deal wisely with them ; lest
they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when tlier(>
tallethout any war, they join also unto our eiK.niie.s,
and h^t against us, and so get them up out of the land.
'1. i herefore tiiey did set over them task-masters,
to afflict them with their ° burdens. And they built
1 o X o°" treasure-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
IJ: tbiit the more they afflicted them the more
they multiplied and grew. And they were " grieved
because of the children of Israel.
13 And the Egj'ptians made the children of Israel
to serve with ' rigour :
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard l)on-
dage, m mortar, and in brick, and in all mimner of
service m the field: all their service, wherein they
made them serve, ivas with rigour.
. \^ .^ And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew
midwives ; (of which the name ot one was Shiphrah,
and the name of the other Puah ;)
\Q And he said. When ye do the ofiice of a mid-
wife to die Hebrew women, and see them upon the
stools, if It be a son, then ye shall ' kill him : but if
It 6e a daughter, then she shall Tive.
1 7 But the midwives ' feared God, njid did not ' as
the king of Egypt commanded Uiem, but saved the
men-children alive.
18 And the king of Egyf.t called for the midwives,
and said unto them, " Why have yo done this thing,
; 2 And tlie w onian conceived ;uid liare a ' son : and
v\ hen she saw him (hat he xvus " a goodly chili, she
hid lum three montlw.
3 Ai«l >vben she could ' no longer hide him, she
took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daulied it with
s ime and vMth pitch, mul put the child therein; and
she laid it in the Hags by the river's brink.
4 And Mus sister .stood afarolF, to witwhat would
be (lone to him.
5 And the " daughter of Pharaoh came down to
wash lurstlj at the river ; and her maidens walked
along by the river's side : and when she saw the frk
among the Hags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
V ^,"'/' "ben she had opened it, she saw the child :
and, beh()ld, the babe \i ent. And she had ' comnas-
.sioii on hnn, and said, This is one of ine • Hebrews'
children.
7 Then siiid his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, ShaH
1 go and call to thee a nur.se of the Hebrew women,
that .sJie mav nurse the child for thee ?
« And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And
the mau went and called the ' child's moUier.
J And 1 haraoh's daughter said unto her, Take

Iharah's daughter, and he became «■ her soii. And
she called his name |jMo.ses: .'md she said, Because
1 drew him out oi the water.
1 111 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses
was grow n, that he went out unto his brrfliren,and
looked on their burdens: and he espied aai Egyptian
""'i"V'^ '' fl*^hrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and,
when he saw tlm there tva^ no man, he ° slew the'

then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord.
3 Six years thou shaft sow thy field, and six years
thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit

30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a
full year, then the house that is in the walled city
shall be established for ever to him that bought it,
throughout his generations : it shall not go out in
the jubilee.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no
walls round about them shall be counted as the fields
of the country ; they may be redeemed, and they
shall go out in the jubilee.
32 iVotwithstanding, the cities of the Levites, and
the houses of the cities of their possession, may the
I .evites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the
house tha: was sold, and the city of his possession
shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of
the cities of the Levites are their possession among

42 Go not up, for the Lord is ' not among you ;
that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are
there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword : be-
cause ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore
the Lord will not be with you.

The death qf Aaron.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in
mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Aaron shall be " gathered unto his people : for
he shall not enter into the land which I have i!i;iven
unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled
against my word at the water of Meribah.
"25 Take <• Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring
them u|) unto mount Hor ;
26 And *• strip Aaron of his garments, and put
them upon Eleazar his son : and Aaron shall be
gathered wito his people, and shall die there.
27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded : and
they went ui) into mount Hor, in the sight of all the
congregation.
28 And Moses 'stripped Aaron of his garments,
and put them ' upon Eleazar his son ; and Aaron died
there in the ' top of the mount : and Moses and Ele-
azar came down from the mount.
29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron
" was d(>ad, they mourned for Aaron * thirty days,
even all the house of Israel.
CHAPTER XXI.
7 The people repenting, are healed by a brazen serpent.
21 Sihon IS overcome, 33 and Og.
4 ND when * king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt
±\- in the ''south, heard tell that Israel cf ne by the
way of the ' s|)ies ; then he fought against Israel, and
took *" some of them prisoners.
2 And Israel * vowed a *'ow unto the Lord, and
said, U thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my
hand, then I will ' utterly destroy their cities.
3 And the Lord « hearkened to the voice of Israel,
and delivered up the Canaanites ; and they utterly
destroyed ihem and their cities : and he called the
narrie of the place Hormali.
4 II And they journeyed from mount Hor by the
vvav of the Red Sea, to " compass the land of Edom :
and the soul of the people was much ' discouraged
because of the " way.
5 And the people spake ' against God, and against
Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of
Egypt, to die in the wilderness ? for there is no bread,
neither is there any water ; and our soul loaiheth this
"light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery " serpents among the
neople, and they bit the people ; and much peoj)le of
Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said.
We have " sinned, for we have spoken against the
Sihon and Og overcome.

Tl I Vj^V. he the words whieh Moses ,s|)ake unto all
Isr lel 'on this side Jordan, in the wildiTne.>.s, in
the plain over ajiainst the Red Sea, between '' Paraii,
and Toplul, and Laban, and tiu/erotli, and Di/a-
hab.
2 ( There are ' eleven days' journey) from Horeb,
by the way of'' mount Seir, unto " Kadesh-bariiea.)
i} And It came to pass in the ' fortieth year, in the
* eleventh month, on the first (A<// of the month, tliat
Moses s|)ake unto the ehildreii of jsrael, aceordiiis
unto all that the Loud had ^iven him in eommand-
ment unto them ;
4 After he had slain " Sihon the king of the Amor-
ites, whieh dwelt in Heshoon, and O'^ tiie king of
Bashan, whieh dwelt at ' Aslaroth in Kdrei :
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of iMoab, began
Mos<!s to deelare this law, saying,
6 The Lord our God spal.i; unto ns in Tloreb, say-
ing. V'e have dwelt'' long enough in this mount :
7 Turn you, and taki; your journey, and goto 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 ot
the Canaaiiites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great
river, the river Euphrates.
8 Behold, 1 liave f set the land before you : go in
and |)ossess the land whieh the Lokd sware unto
your fathers, Abraham, Isaae, and Jaeob, to give unto
them, and to "" their seed after them.
9 And I spake unto you at " that time, saying, [
am not able to l)ear you myself alone :
10 The Loud your CJod hath multiplied you, and,
behold, vou are this day as the " stars of heaven for
multitiKle.
1 1 (The Lord God of your fathers f make you a
thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless
you, as he hath j)romised }'ou !)
12 How ean 1 myself alone bear your ^ cum-
branee, and your burden, and your strife ?
13 •' Take ye wise men, and ■■ understanding, and
' known among your tribes, and i will make them
' rulers over you.
14 And ye ans\vered me,ands:rid,Thethingwhieh
thou hast spoi.en is '^wM\fur ns to do.
1.5 So 1 took the ehief of your tribes, wise men,
and known, and made them heads over 3 on, eaptains
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and eap-
tains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers
among your tribes.
16 And 1 charged your judges at that time, saying,
Hear the causes between your brethren, -.uul "judge
righteously iK'tween even/ man and his brother, and
the stranger that is with him.
1 7 Ye shall not f resi)ect persons in judgment : bat
you shall hear the small as well as the great ; you shall
not be afraid of the face of man ; for tlie judgment * is
God's : and >' the cause that is too hard for you, bring
it unto me, and I w'lW hear it.
IP. And I commanded you'at that time ^all the
things which ye should do.
19 And when we " departed from Horeb, we went
through all that great and "terrible wilderness, which
you saw bythewayof the = mountain of the Amorites,
as llie liOKi) our God commanded us ; and we came
to Kadesh-liarnea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the
mountaiii of the Amorites, which the Loud om- God
doth give uiuo ns.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath 'set the land
before thee : go ui) and [wssess it, as the I^oud God
of thy fathers hath said unto thee ; fear not. neither
be discouraged.
22 And y(!camc near unto me everyone of you,
and said, VVe will .seiul men f)efore us, and ihey slutll
search us out the land, and bring us word again by
what ^\'ay we must go u|), and into what cities we
shall (•ome.
23 And the saying'' plea.sed me well : and I took
twelve men of you, one of a tribe :
2-1. And they turned, ami went up into the moun-
tain, and cameuntothe valley of* Kshcol,aiid searcli-
ed it out.
25 And they took of the ' fruit of the land in their
hands, and brought it do\vn unto us, and brought us
word again, and said, Itis^n good land wliicli the
Loup our God doth give us.
26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but '" re-
belled against the commandment of the Loud your
God :
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said. Be-
cause the Lord ' hated us, he haih brought us forth
out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand
of the Aniorites, to destroy us.
2U Whither shall we go up .'' our brethren have
f" discouraged our heart, saying. The people /.sgreater
and taller than wc ; the cities are great, and walled
'' up to heaven : and, moreover, we have seen the sons
of the' Anakims there.
29 Then 1 said unto you, Dread not, neither be
afraid of them.
SO The Lord your God, which goeth before you,
he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for
you in Lgy^)t l)efore your eyes ;
31 Aiifl in the wilderness, where thou hast seen
how that the Loud thy God " Ijare thee, as a man
doth beai his son, in all the way that ye went, until
ye came into this |)lace.
32 Yet in this thing ye did " not believe the Loud
your God,
33 Who ''went in the way before you, to search

The Lord appointeth Joshua to succeed Moses.
NOW after the death of Moses ' the servant of the
liOiiD, it came to nass, that the Lohd *" spake
imto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses mv servant is deatl ; now therefore arise,
go ovei this Jordan, thou, and all this f)eople, inito
the land which" I do {!,iveto them, etrntothe chil-
dren of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall trrac
upon, that ha\e 1 siven unto you, '' as I said unto
Closes.
4 From the • wilderness and this ' Lebanon, even
unto the great river, the river * Euphrates, all the land
of the llittites, and unto the '" great sea toward the
going down of the sun, shall be your coast,
5 There shall not any man be able to stand f before
thee all the days of thy life : as I >yas with Moses, so
I will be with thee : 1 will ' not fail thee, nor forsake
th(T'.
G ^ I3c strong and of a good courage ; for unto this
people shalt thou divide lor an inheritance the land,
which 1 sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only l)c thou strong and very courageous, that
thou mayest observe to no according to ' all the law
which Moses my servant commandiHl thee : turn not
from it to '" the right hand or to the left, that thou
mayest || prf)sper whithersoever thou goest.
8 Tins book of the law shall not de[)arf outof"(hy
mouth ; but thou shalt ° meditate therein day anc'
night, that lliou mayest observe to do according to
all that is wiitten therein : for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success.
9 '' Have not I commanded thee ? Be strong and
of a good courage : be not afraid, neither be thou dis-
mayed : 1 for the Lord thy God is with thee whith-
ersoever thou goest.
10 11 ' Then Joshua commanded the officers of the
people. sa>iiig,
1 1 Pass through the host, and command the peo-
ple, saying, "Prepare you victuals ; for within three
days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess
tiie land, which the Lord your God giveth you to
possess it.
12 And to the Reubeniles, and totheGadites, and
to hall" the tribe of Manasseh, sjiake Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant
of the Lord commanded you, saying. The Lonn your
God hath given you rest, and hathgivenyou this land.
14 Your wives, your litileones, an(l your cattle,
shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on
this side Jordan ; but ye shall j)a.ss before your l)reth-
ren || aniicfl, all the ' mighty mea of valour, and
he!|) them,
15 " Until the Lord have given your brethren rest,
as/ic huth given you, and they also have possessen
the land which the LoKuyour God giveth them : then
30 shall return unto the land of your po.^session, and
er.joy it, which Mo.ses, the Lord's servant, gave you
on this side Jordan, toward the sun-rising.
16 And they answer<(d Joshua, saying, " All that
thou commandest us we w ill do, aiul whithcrsoevef
tliou sendest us we Avill go.
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all
things, so will we heaiken unto thee : ^ only the Lord
tliy God 1)(> with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever /(c /;/' that doth rebel against thy
commandment, and will 'not hearken unto thy words
in all that ihou coiuiiiaiidest liiju, he shall be put to
death : only • be strong and of a good courage.

Rahab concealcth the two spies sent from Shittim.
AND Joshua the son of Nun sent out of" Shittim
two men to spy t secirtly, saying, Go view the
land, even Jericho. .Ami they went, and came into
''a harlot's house, named llahab, and lodged there.

19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before

20 And it was su, as she rode on thi; ass, that she
came clown hy the covert of the hill, and, behold,

that nothiiij^ was missed of all \Um tJerUiintd unto

held ' a feast in his house, like the feast of a king ; and

and he became as a stone.
38 And it came to pass, about ten days afhr, tliat

4 And the men of Juilah came, and there they
anointed David king over the " house of Judah. And
they ' told David, saying. That the men of Jabesh-
gilead were tlicy that buried Saul.
5 And David sent messengers unto the men of. I a-
besh-gilead, and said unto them, * Blessed 6e yeof the
Loiu), that 3e have shewed this kindness unto your
lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6 And now the Lord shew '' kindness and truth
unfo you : and 1 also will requite you this kindness,
because ye have done this thing.
7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened,
and be ye t valiant : for your master Saul is dead,
and also the house of Judah have anointed ' me king
over them.
8 1 But *■ Abner the son of Ncr, captain of Saul's
host, took II Isli-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought
him over to Mahanaim :
9 And he made him ' king over Gilead, and over
the Ashurites, and over ■" Jezieel, and over Ephraim,
and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Is-h-bosheth, Saul's son, was fortj; years old
when he began to reign oyer Israel, and reigned " two
years. But the house of Judah followed David.
1 1 And the ftime thai David was king in Hebron,
over the house of Judah, was seven years and six
months.
12 H And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants
of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Maha-
naim to " Gibeon.
13 And '' Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants

Gibeon : and they sat down, the one on the one side
of the '•pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men
now arise, and ' play before us. And Joab said, Let
them arise.
15 Then there arose. ::nd went over by number,
twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth
the son of Saul, and twelve of tlie servants of David.

1 7 And there was a very sore battle that day : and
Abner was * beaten, and the men of Israel, before the
Acta Kio. servants of David.
1 8 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there,
.Toab, and Abishai, and Asahel : and ^Asahel was " as
light of foot as a wild roe.
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner : and in going
*'^"^'^"*' he turned not to the right hand nor to the left * from
following Abner.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art
thou Asahel ? And he answered, I am.
, .,.,. 21 And Abner said to him. Turn thee a.side to thy
right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of
the young men, and take thee his t armour. But

29 And Abner and his men walked all that night 8''"t'-2. "

30 And Joab returned from following Abner : and
when he had gathered all the peoi)le togethcir. there
lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benja-

CHAPTER XII.
Nathan's parable of the ewe Iamb, causeth David to be hi.s
own judge.
AND the Lord sent ' Nathan unto David. And
lie came unto him, and said unto him, "There
were two men in one city ; the one rich, and the other
[loor. ^
2 The rich 7nan had exceeding " many flmrks and
licnls :
o But the poor man had nothing save one little
ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up •
and It grew up together with him, and with his chU-
dren : it did eat of his own f meat, and drank of his
ttuc.i.ii. own cnp, and lay in his '^ bosom, and was unto him
as a daugirter.
4 And there came a " traveller unto the rich man •
and he spared to take of his own flock, and of his
own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man thai was
come unto him ; but took the poor man's lamb, and
dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against
the man ; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth,
the man that hath done this thing f shall surely die •
6 And he shall restore the Iamb ^ fourfold, because
lie did this thing, and because he had no pity.
"I- „, 7 AtifJ Nathan said to David, «Thou art the man.

t"»»S I'L'loie all Israel, and before the sun.
Ip And David said unto Nathan, I have '' sinned
again.st the Loiu). And Nathan said unto David,
1 Ue Lord also hath f i^ut '' away thy sin ; thou slialt
not die.
14 llowbeit, l)ecau,se by this deed thou hast given
great occasion to llie enemies oi' the Lord 'to blas-
pheme, the child also that is burn unto thee shall
; surely die.
15 II And Nathan departed unto his house. And
the LoKi) struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto
Uavid, ami it was very sick.
16 David therefore ' besought God ibr the child ;
and iJayul f lasted, and went in and lay all night upon
the earth. ° '
17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to M^t'laN'
liim, to raise hnn up from the earth : but he would ""'"•^^*

18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the I'^'i-^. •»
child died. And the servants of David i'eai-ed to tell 'l.X^
him that the child was dead : for they said, Behold, tf,'. !»,
;: wliiJe tlie cluld was yet alive we spake unto him, and ">• "■
he would not hearken unto our voice; how will he tn.b./a*
then vex himself if we tell him that the child is dead ? " °-^"*
1 V-l^Ht when David saw that his servants whisper-
ed, David perceived that the child was dead : there-
lore David said unto his servants. Is die child dead ?
And thev said, He is dead.
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, „
and "anointed /uffwe//, and changed his api)ai el, and ^ ^*
came into the * house of the Lord, and '' woushipped : ' "• '• '*
then he came to his own house; and when he re- ii°i'a''*
^""■ed, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
21 1 hen said his servants unto him. What tiling is
this that thou hast done ? thou didst Aist and weeii for
the child while it ww alive ; but when the child was
dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I
lasted and wept : for I said. Who can tell rvhelher
Go(l will be gracious to me, that the child may live ?
23But nowhe isdead, wherefore should I fast.? can
1 bring him back again ? I shall go to him, but he „
shall not return to me. «^Kii.g«i,

2 And Alwalom " rose ui) early, and stood beside
tlie way of the gate : and it was so, that w hen any
man that had a controversy came to (he king for judg-
ment, then Absalom called unto liii>, and said, Of
what city «r( thou ? And he said, Ti^y servant is of
one of the tribes of Israel.
3 And Absalom said unto him. See. fhv matters

6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel
that came to the king for judgment. So Absalom
stole the hearts of the men of^ Israel.
7 And It came to pass « after forty years, that Ab-
salom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and
pay my vow winch I nave vowed unto the Loud in
Hebron.
« For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at
beshurin Syria, saymg. If the Louo shall brhigme
again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will " serve the s
Lord.
9 And the king said unto him, Co in p(!ace. So
lie arose, and went to Hebron.

22 IJutofthechildren of Israel did Solomon" make
no boiulmen: but they icere men of war, and his
servanf.s, and his princes, and his cajjlains, and riders
ot his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 These were the chief of the officers that were

27 .And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, sliiji-
meii that had know ledge of the sea, with tlie ser-
vants ol Solomon.
28 And they came to " Ophir, and fetched from
thence gold, "four hundred and twenty talents, and
brought it to king Solomon.

ND when the "queen of Sheba heard of the fame
ol Solomon, concerning the "name of the Lonu,
she came Mo i)rove him with hard questions.
2 And she came '' to Jerusalem with a very great
train, with camels that bare spices, and very much
gold, and precious stones; and when site was come

o And Solomon told her all her f questions : then'

CHAPTER I.
Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God.
AND Solomon the son of David " was strength-
ened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was
^ with him, ' and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Then Solomon '' spake imto all Israel, to the
captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to tlie
judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief
of tlie fathers.
3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him,
went to the * high place that tvas at Gibeon : for
there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God,.
which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in
the wilderness.
4 But the ark of God had David bi ought up from
^ Kirjath-jcarim to the place which David had prepfired
for it : for he had pitched a tent for it at .Jerusalem.
5 Moreover, the '" brazen altar that Bezaleel, the
son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before
the tabernacle of the Loki) ; and Solomon and the
congregation ' sought unto it.
6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen
altar '' before the Lord, which loa^ at the tabernacle
of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt-
offerings upon it.
7 In that ' night did God appear unto Solomon,
and said unro him. Ask what 1 shall give thee.
8 And Solomon said unro God. Thou hast shewed
great mercy unto David my father, and hast made
me to reign " in his stead.
9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David
my father be established : for thou hast made nie king
over a people like the dust of the earth in " moltitude-
10 ° G\ve me now wisdom and knowledge, that I
may ""go out and come in before this i)eople: for who
can ''judge this th;y people that is so great .''
1 1 And God said to Solomon, Because this was \
j ' in tliy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth,
5 or honour, nor the life of tiiine enemies, neither yet
^hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and
\ knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my
people, over whom I have made thee king :
12 ' Wisclom and knowledge is granted unto thee ;
and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour,
such as ' none of the kings have had that have hen
bfloH! thee, neither shall there ai'v after thee have
I the like.
J 13 TI Theii Solomon {^wme from his journey ioxhc
I high place that itv/.v at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from
5 before the tabernacle of the confp'egation, and "reigned
jover Israel.
\ 14 And Solomon * gathered chariots and horse-
men, and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots,
and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in
the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 And the '' king made silver and gold at Jerusa-
lem as p/enleovsas stones, and cedar-trees made he as
the sycamore-trees that are in the vale for abundance.
l6And Solomon had 'horses brought out of Egypt,
and linen yarn ; the king's merchants received the
linen yarn at a price.
I 1 7 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of
I Egypt, a chariot for six hundred shekeh of silver, and
I a horse for a hundred and fifty : tmd so brought they
j out horses for all the kings of the Hittites. and for the
'■ kings of S3'ria, f by their means.
CHAPTER II.
i Solomon's labourers for the building of the temple.
I 4 ND Solomon determined to build a hou.se for th(!
i -L^-' name oi the Lo rd, .-ip.d a hou.se '' for liis kinnsiom.
2 And Solomon told out threescore and ' ten thou-

he tlicvght to make him king.

CHAPTER Xil.

AND it came to pass, when Kehoboam had estab-
lished the kingdom, and had ' strengthened
himself, he '' forsook the law of the Lord, and *" all
Israel with him.
2 And it came to pass, tliiit, in the fifth year of Re-
hoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against
Jerusalem, '' because they had transgressed against
the liORi),
3 With tw<>lve hundred " chariots, and threescore
thousand horsemen : and the people ivac without
number that came with him out of Eg}'pt ; the ' Lu-
bims, the Sukkiin's, and the Ethiopians.
4 And he took the* fenced cities which pertained
f N»iiun.s, to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
*• 5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboain,
»j.r.«,io. and to the princes of Judah that were gathered lo-
gelherto Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unt;>
them. Thus saith the Lord, Ye have '' forsaken me,
iich.i«,s. j,„j| therefore have I also left you in the hand of
Shishak.
I p. 70 M. ^ Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king
' ' humbled themselves ; and they said, '' The Lord w

themselves, the word of the LoRDcamctoShcmai^h.

Loud turned from Irm, that he would not destroy /u'hi
altogether : t and also in Judah things went well.
13 So king Rehoboam si lengthened himself in
.lerusalem, and reigned : lor Rehoboam %o(is one aiu
forty years old v\lien he began to reign, and he reigned
seventeenyearsinJerusalem,the city which the liORD
had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his
' name theie. And his mother's name wusi Naamah,
an Ammoiiitess.
14 And he did evil, because' he prepared not his
heart to "seek the Lord.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are
they not written in thebookof "Sheinaiah the proph-
et, and of Iddo '' the seer, concerning genealogies .''
And there were wars between Rehol)oam and Jero-
boam continually.
16 And Rehoboam 'slept with his fat hers, and was
buried in the city of David : and Abijah liis son
reigned in his stead.
CHAPTER XIII.
Abijah succeeding, niiilceth war against Jeroboam.
NOW in the "eigliteenth year of king Jeroboam
began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 He reigned threeyears in J "rusaleiu: (his mother's
name also wns '' Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel of
'(jiibeah;) and there was war between Abijah uid
Jeroboam.
3 And Abijah i set the battle in array « ith an
army oi \ aliant men of war, even '' four hundred thou-
sand chosen men : Jeroboam also set the battli in
array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen
men, beitifj; ipighty men of valour.
4 And Abijah " stood up ui)on mount ^Zemaraim,
which is in mount Ephraini, <uul said, Hear nie, thou
J:>roboam, and all Israel ;
5 Ought you not to know, that the Lord God of
Israel "^ gave the kingdom over Israel to David lor (!ver,
ew« to him ami to his sons by '' a covenant of salt }
6 Yet Jero!)oam the son of Nebat, the servant of
Solomon, the son of David, is risen up, and hath
' rebelled against his lord.
7 And there are gathered unto him ' vain men, the
childrenof Belial, and have strengthened ti.emselves
against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Reho-
boam was ■" )'oung and " tender-hearted, and could
not w ithstand them.
8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of
the Lord in the hand of the sons of David ; and ye
be a great nmltitude, and there are with you " golden
calves, which Jeroboam '' made you for gods.
9 Have ye not •• cast out the priests of the Lord,
the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made
you priests after the manner of the nations of other
lands .' so that w hosoever comcth to ' consecrate him-
self with a young bullock and ' seven rams, the same
may be a priest oUhem that are no gods.
10 But as ' for us, the I^ord is " our (Jodj and we
have not forsaken him ; and the priests w hich min-
ister unio the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the
Levites wait upon their business ;
1 1 .\ik1 they "^ burn unto the Lord, every ntorning
and every evening, burnt-sacrifices and sweet incense;:
the shew -bread also.veZ theif in order upon the pure
table ; and the candl(!stick of gold with the lamps
thereof", (o bum every »;vening : lor we keep the
charge of the Lord our God ; l)ut ye have forsaken
him.

Asa diverteth Baasha from building of Kamah.
IN the " si.\ and thirtieth year of the ! eign of Asa,
Baasha king of Israel came up again.- 1 Judali,ai.d
^ built Raniah, to the iutentthat he might let none 'go
out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold oxK of the
treasures of the house of the Lokd and of the king's
house, and " sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that
dwelt at Damascus, saying,
3 There is a league betvveen mo and ilu-e, as there
was between my father and thy father: lu-liold, 1 have
sent thee silver and gold ; go, break thy league with
Baasha king of Israel, that he may dei)art from me.
4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and
sent the captains of his armies against the cities of
Israel ; and they smote ' Ijon, and Dan, Hud Abel-
maim, and all the ^ store-cities of Naphtali.
5 And it canie to jiass, when Baasha heard it., that
he le'ft otf buililiug of Ramah, and let his work ceas(;.
(} Then Asa the king ^took all Judah; and they
carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber
thereof, wherewith Baasha was a building ; and he
built therewith Geba and Mizi)ah.
7 And at that time •' Hanani the seer came to Asa
kiiig of Judah, and said unto him. Because thou 'hast
relied on the kingof Syria, and notrelieilon the Lord
thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria
escaped out of thy hand.
8 Were not the Ethioijiansa.nd theLubimsaMnige
host, with very many clfariots and horsemen ? yet, be-
cause thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them
into thy hand.

12 And Asa, in the thirty and ninth year of his
reign, was diseased in his feet, until his disease was
exceeding ^rea/ ; y(it in his disease he ' sought not to
the Lord, but to the |)hysicians.
13 And II Asa slept with his fathers, and died hi the
one aid fortieth year of his reign.

that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

Ahab; for
wickedly.
4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord,
like the house of Ahab ; for they were his counsel-
lors, after the death of his father, to his '' destruction.
5 He walked also after tlie)r ' counsel, and went
with Jehoram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to war
against Ha/ael king of Syria at '' Ramoth-gilead :
and the Syrians smote Jorani.
6 And he retiuned to be healc'd in ' Jezreel, because
of the wounds which were given himatRamah, when
he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah,
the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went ilown to see
Jehoram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he
was sick.
7 And the f destruction of Ahaziah " was of God,
by coming to Joram ; for when he was come, he
went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of
Nimshi, \\i)oui the Lord had " anointed to cut off
the house of Ahab.
fi And it came to pass, that vvlen Jehu was " exc-
cuthig judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found
* the princes of Judah, and the sons of the •' brethren of

9 And ' he sought Ahaziah : and they caught him,
(for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu :
and when they had slain him, they burii.'d him ; lie-
cause, said they, he jsthe son of Jehoshaphat, who
• sought the Lord with all his heart. So the liouse
of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
10 But when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah,
' saw that her son was dead, she arose, and destroyed
all the seed-royal of the house of Judah

5 But the "• eyeol'tlioir God was upon the elders
of the Jews, that they could " not cause them to cease,
" till the matter came to Darius : and then they ^ re- i
turned answer by letter concerniiiK this inatkr. i
6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, fiovernoron!
this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his com- \
panions the Aphaisacliites, which were on this side |
the river, sent unto Darius the kin;; : I
7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was writ- 1
ten thus : Unto Darius the kiii^n, all iieace. |
8 Be it known unto the king, that ■> we went intol
the province of Judea,to the hou.se of tlie 'j.;reat God, |
which is builded with threat stones, and timber is!
laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and \
prosiiereth in their hands. J
9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them i
thus. Who commanded you to build this house, and |
to make up these walls ? \
10 We asked their 'names also, to cLTtify thee, |
that we might write the names of the men that tcerel
the chief ot them. I
1 1 And thus they returned us ansvvcr,sayins, ' ^Ve
are the servants of the " God of heaven and earth,
and build the house that was " builded these many
years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and
set up.
^ 12 But after that our fathers had ^ provoked the
God of heaven unto wrath, he pve them into tlie
hand of ' Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the
Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the
pecple away ii.to Babylon.
13 But in the • first year of Cyrus the king of|
Babylon, the same king Cyrus made a decree to build ■:
this house of God.
14 And the '• vessels also of gold and silver of the
house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of
the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and brought them
into the temple of Babylon, those did " Cyrus the
king take out of the temttle of Babylon, and they
were delivered unto one whose name was Sheshbaz-
zar.vvhom he had made governor;
15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go,
carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and
let the house of God be builded in his place.
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar,anrflaid the
foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusa-
lem : and since that time, even until now, hath it I
been in building, and ijet it is "^ not finished. |
1 7 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let I
there be search made in the king's treasure-house, l
Mhich IS there at Babylon, whether it be so that a!
decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this |
house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send I
" his pleasure to us concerning this matter. i

N<;hemiali nxiiniiLili, I'iistetli, and prayf tli.
HE words of Nehemiali the son of llaelialiali.
And it eaine to pass in the inojith ' Clusleu, in
the ^ twentieth year, as I wa^^ in Shiishan the iialaee,
2 That ' IJanani, one of my brethren, eame, he
•,\m\ artitin men of Judah; and I asked them con-
cernini; the .lews that had ("seaped, whieh were left
of the (iiDtiviiy, and coneeriiinii.leriisalem.
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are
left of the captivity there in the "^ province are ' in
sreat afllietion and reproach : tlie wall of .leriisa'em
also b ' broken down, and tlie gates thereolare burnt
with fire.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard the.se \\ords,
that ^ 1 sat down and wept, and mourned certain days,
and '■fasted, and ' [irayed before the (iod of heaven,
5 And said, 1 iK'seech thee, '' O Loiu) God of
heaven, the ' great and terrible God, that " keepeth
covenant and mercy lor them that love him and ob-
serve his commandments ;
6 " 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 "nisht, for
the childr(!n of Israel thy servants, ^ and coid'ess the
•sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned
"' against thee : both I and my father's house have
sinned. ■
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and ;
have not ke|)t the commandments, nor the statut(!s, i
northejudgments, whici> thou connnandedstthy ser- 1
vant Moses. i
8 ' Bcmernber, I beseech thee, the word that thou \
commandedstthy servant IMoses, saying, ' //"ye trans- i
gress, 1 will scatter you abroad among the nations : !
9 But //ye 'turn unto me, and kcei) my command- i
ments, and do them ; though there were of you " cast I
out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will 1 1
gather thent from thence, and \\ill bring them unto j
the iilace that I have chosen to set my name there, i
10 Now these are thy " servants, and thy peoi)lc, I
whom thou ha.st redeemed by thy great power, and \
by thy > strong hand. |
1 1 O Lord, 1 beseech theo, let now thine ear b(> \
attentive to the prayer of tliy servant, and to the?
prayer of thy servants, w ho desire to ' fear thy name ,• \
and 'pro.siier, ! |>ri>y ihee, thy servant this day. anci?
grant him mercy in the sight of this man : For I was;
the king's cup-i>earer. \
CHAPTER II.
Artaxerxes sendctli Nflinniaii lii Ji-riisiili'iii.
AND it came to pa.ss in the month " Ni>aii, in the
tueutielh year of '' Artaxerxes the king, tlial
wine mus before him : and I took up the "" w iiie, and
gavt! // unto the king. Now I had not be(n bij'oii-
time '' sad in his presence.
2 Wherefore the king said luito me. Why is thy
i countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick.*' this is
nothing c/.vr but ' sorrow of heart. Then 1 was
' very .sore afraid^
3 And said imt(» tlie king, * Let the king li\e for
ever : '' wh^' should not my cotmtenauce be .sad,
vyhen the city, the place of nty father.s' se| ulchres,
lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consmni'd with
lire .?^
4 Then the king said unto me. For w hat dost thou
make re{iuest ? So I ' prayed to the Ciod of heaven.
.5 And I .said unto the king. If it '' please the king,
and if thy servant have found favour in tiiy sight, that
thou woulde.st ' send me unto .Jrdah, uiUo the city of
my fathers' sei)ulchres, that "' 1 may build it.
G And the " king said unto me, (the queen also
sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be .''
and when wilt thou rctmn ? So it pleased tlu; king to
send me ; and I " set him a time.
7 Moreover, I said unto the king. If it please the
king, let ''letters be given me to the governors beyond
the river, that they ntay convey mo over, till I come
into Judah :
U And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the kiny's
forest, that he may give me tinilnr to make beams ior
the gates of the i)alac»! which '^appertained to the
house, and lor the wall of the city, and foj the hou.se
' that I shall enter into. And the king granted me,
according to the 'good hand of my God upon me.
9 Then I came to the governors bejoiid the river,
and gave them the king's letters. (Now the king had
sent cai)tai;is of the army and horsemen with me.)
10 When Sanlrallat the 'Horonite, and Tobiah the
'■servant, the * Ammonite, heard of it, it 'grieved
them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek
the wellareofthe childion of Israel.
It So I canietn .Jerusal'Mn, and was 'there three
days.
12 And I arose * in the night, I and some i*^w men
with liie; neither told I anij man Avhat my God iuul
put in my heart to do at .Jerusalem: neither iraA'/Z/c/r
anu beast with u'.e, save the; lieast tliat I rode udoi.

2 For there were that s:m(I, We, our sons, and our 35.""''

3 Some also there were thai sitid, VVc have mort- ' "»s'.«

buy corn, because of the dearth.
4 There were also that said, We have liorrowed

exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a

8 And 1 said unto them. We, aft(;r our ability, have
"redeemed our brethren the Jews, ivhirh were sold

their peace, and ■• found nothing to answer.

HLKL was a man in the land of " U/, whose
name w/s "Job ; and that man wa *• [lerfect and
upright, and one that "feared God, and 'eschewed
evil.
2 And there were born unto him « seven sons and
three daughters.
3 llis '' substance also was seven thousand slieei),
and three thousand camels, and live hundred yoke of
oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great
liousehold; so that this man was the greatest of all
the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and 'feasted in their houses
everyone "his day; and sent and called for their
Oiree sisters, to eat and to drink with them.
.5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting i
were gone about, that Job sent and ""sanctified them •
and " rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt- !
onerings according "to the number of them all : fori
Job said, P It may be that my sons have ' sinned, \
and cursed God in their ' hearts. Thus did Job
' continually. \
6 If Now there was a day when * the sons of God \
cfune to "present themselves before the Lord, and
* Satan came also among them.
7 And the Lord said unto Satan,'' Whence comest
thou ? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said,

mgu|»aiid down in it.
_ H uxv^. the i^OKD fiaui urito Sataii, Hast thou con-

34 They di<l 'not destroy the nations, concerning
whom the Loud coinmandeil them :
35 But were ' mingled among the heathen, and
li'arned their works.
3i) And they served their idols ; which were
snare unto them.
37 \'ea, they sacrificed their sous and their daugh-
ters unto devils,
33 And shed innocent blocxl, r.'i<^/( Mie bhuMl of tlieir
sons, and of their daughters, whom tluty sacrifucd
unto the " idols of Canaan : and the land was pollu-
ted with blood.
3'J Thus were they defiled wiih their own works,
and went " i\ whoring with their own inventions.
•W Therefore was the wrath of the Loiti) kiiulh'd
le led them through "'the depths, as through I against his jjcople, insomuch tiiat he abhorred his
own inheritance.
41 And ' he gave them into the hand of the hea-
then ; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they
were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 " Many times did he deliver them ; but they
provoked /(i/« with tlieir coun.sel, and were brought
low for tlieir inicjuity.
44 Nevertheless, ''he regarded theiraflliction, when
he heard their cry :

and repented according to the multitude oi'hismcrc ics.

CHAPTER r.
1 The church's love unto Christ....? She confesseth her
(ieformity.
THE " Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Let '' him kiss me wi«:h the kisses of his mouth :
for thy ' love is better than wine.
3 Because of the "^ savour of thy good ointments,
thy "name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do
the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me, we will ' run after thee. The King
hitth brought me into his « chambers : we will be glad
and rejoice in thee ; we will remember thy love more
than wine : the upright love thee.
5 I 07)1 black, but ''comelv, Oye dau,ghters of Je-
rusalem ; as the tents of K^ dar, as the curtains of
Solomon.
6 Look not upon me, because I rtjw 'black, because
the sun hath looked upon me : my ''mother's children
were angry with me ; they made me the keeper of
the vineyards ; but mine own vineyard have I not
kept.
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where
thou ' feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at
noon : for why should I be as one that turneth aside
by the flocks of thy companions ?
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women,
{JO thy way forth by the ^ footsteps of the nock, and
feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I have cor ipared thee, O " my love, to a company
of horses in Pharaoh's "chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows qfjeivels, thy
neck with p chains qf gold.
1 1 ''We will make thee borders of gold, with studs
of silver.
12 While the Kvagsitteth at his 'table, my spike-
nard scndeth forth the smell thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me;
he sh?ll lie all night ' betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved IS untome osacluster of * camphire
in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15 Behold, thou a/Hair, my love; beliOld, thou
art fair, ihou " hast doves' eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:
also * our l)ed is green.
1 7 The ^ beams of our house are cedar, and our
rafters of fir.
CHAPTER IL
Tlie mutual love of Christ and his church.
I yfiWtheror^eof Sharon, and the lilyof the 'valleys.
2 As the lily ** among thorns, so is my love among
the daughters.
3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved .-n.nong the sons. I sat down nnder
his shadow with great delight, " and his fruit xoas
sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, and his
banner over me was '^ love.
, 5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples ;
for 1 am " sick of love.
« 6 His ' left hand is under my head, and his right
hand doth embrace me.
7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by
the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye ^ stir
not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
8 The '■ voice of my beloved ! behold, he ' cometh
leaping upon the mountains, skipping upr>n the hills.
9 My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart : behold,
he standeth behind '' our wall, he looketh forth at the
window, shewing himself through the lattice.
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up,
my love, my fair one, and ' come away.
1 1 For, lo, the "" winter is past, the rain is over and
gone ;
12 The flowers appear on the earth ; the time of
the " singing of birds is come, and the voice of the
turtle is heard in our land.
13 The fig-tree putteth forth her green figs, and the
vines with ° the tender grape give a good smell. Arise,
my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 H O my dove, that art in the p clefts of the rock,
in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy coun-
tenance, let me hear thy voice ; for sweet is thy
voice, and thy countenance i^- comely.
15 Take us the *" foxes, the ' little foxes, that spoil
the vines : for our vines nave tender grapes.
16 H My beloved is ' mine, and I am his : he feed-
eth amonj^ the lilies.
17 Until the day t break, and the shadows flee
away, turn, my beloved ; and b(; thou like a roe, or a
young hart, upon the mountains of 'Bether.
CHAPTER III.
The church's fight and victory in temptation.
BY night on ' my bed I sought him whom my soul
loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 I will rise now, and ''go about the city ; in the
streets, and in the broad ways, I will seek him whom
my soul loveth : I sought him, but I found him not.
3 The " watchmen that go about the city found me :
to whom I said, '' Saw ye him whom my soul loveth ?
4 ft rvas but a little that I passed from them, but I
found liim whom my soul loveth : I iield him, and
would " not let him go, until 1 had brought him into
my mother's house, into the chamber of her that
' conceived me.
6 I charge you. O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by
the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not
up, nor j'.wake mt/ love till he please.

CHAPTER XV.
The lamentable state uf Moab.
THE burden of " Moab. Because in the " night
Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to
silence ; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid
waste, and brought to silence :
2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high
places, to weep : Moab shall howl over Nebo, and
over Medeba ; on all their " heads shall be baldness,
and every beard cut off.
3 In their strct ts they shall gird themselves with
sackcloth : on the "^ tons of their houses, and in their
streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice
shall be heard even unto Jahaz : therefore the armed
soldiers of Moab shall cry out ; • his life shall be
grievous unto him.
5 My heart shall 'cry out for Moab; his fugitives
shall flee unto Zoar, a * heifer of three years old : for
by tlie rnounting up of Lnhith with weeping shall
they go it up ; for in the way of Horonaim they shall
raise up a cry of destruction.
6 For the ^ waters of Nimrim shall be desolate :
for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there
isno^^reen thing.
7 1 herefore the abundance they have gotten, and
that which they have laid up, shall they carry away
to the brook of the ' willows.
8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of
Moab ; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the
howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of ''blood :
for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that

6 And in mercy shall the throne be established; l|;i':i'',r
and he shall « sit u|)on it in truth in the tabernacle of ^ ^J j
David, judging and seeking '' judgment, and hasting ;{i,^,,',

6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is ■"""'•*•
' very proud : even of his haughtiness, and his pride, i,",";-,'^-^-
and his wrath : but his " lies shall not be so. ki'.u, 3, n
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one »• ' ' '
shall howl : for the ' foundations of Kir-hareseth shall 1 2 Kings

of Sibmah : the lords of the heathen have broken
down the principal plants thereof, they are come even
unto Jai;er, they wandered through the wilderness ;
her branches are stretched out, they are gone over
the sea :
9 Therefore I will "bewail with the weeping of "•'"•'"•*•
Jazer the vine of Sibmah : I will water thee witli my
tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for
thy summer-fruits, and for thy harvest, is fallen.
10 And "gladness is taken away, and joy out of j'^'' «^
the plentiful field j and in the vineyards there shall "'^ '
be no singing, neither shall there be shouting : the
treaders shHll tread out no wine hi their presses; I

13 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken \^^e'
concerning Moab since that time. p.'. us, s.
14But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, 'Within ^'' "' *''

A type prefiguring the shameful captivity of Egypt and
Ethiopia.
IN the year that ' Tartan came unto Ashdod,
(when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and
fought against Ashdod, and took it ;
2 At the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the
son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the '' sackcloth
from off'thy loins, and put offthy shoe from thy foot.
And he "^ did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah
hath walked naked and barefoot three years /or a
•"sign and wonder upon E^ypt and upon Ethiopia;
4 So shall the king ot Assyria lead away the
Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives,
young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their
" buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 And they shall be ' afraid and ashamed of Ethi-
opia their * expectation and of Egypt their glory.
6 And the inlu'bitant of this isle shall say in that
day. Behold, such i,9 our expectation, whither we flee
for lielp to be delivered from the king of Assyria :
and how shall we escape .''

winds in the south pass through ; so it cometh
from the desert, froni a terrible land.

10 Which say to the seers, ' ISce not: and to the
firophets. Prophesy not unto us ' right things ; siieak
unio us " smooth things, prophesy * deceits :
1 1 Get ye '' out of tlie way, turn aside out of the
path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from
before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israc,
IJccause ye despise this word, and trust hi ojipression
and perverseiiess, end stay thereon :
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a
breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall,
whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the
potter's vessel that is broken in pieces ; he shall not
spare : so that there shall " not be found in the burst-
ing of it ' a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to
take water ivithfil out of die pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of
Israel, " in returning and rest shall ye be saved ; in
quietness and in *= confidence shall be your strength ;
and "^ ye would not.
16 I3ut ye said, "No; for we will flee upon horses;
• therefore shall ye flee : and. We will ride upon the
swift ; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
1 7 ' One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one ;
• at the rebuke of five shall ye flee ; till ye be left as a
beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign
on a hill.
1 8 And therefore will the Lord « wait, that lie may
be gracious unto you ; and therefore will he be ex-
alted, that he may have mercy upon you ; for the
Lord is a '' God of judgment : ' blessed are all they
that wait foi him.
19 For the people shall * dwell in Zion at Jerusa-
lem ; thou shalt weep no more : he will be very gra-

I Sennaclierib invadeth Judah. ...4 Rabshukeh's blasphemous

scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.

Assyria, ' What confidence is this wherein thou ^■

Judah shall ' again take root downward, and bear
fruit ufiward :
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a '' remnant,
and they that escape out of mount Zion : the zeal of
the Lord of hosts shall do this.
33 Therefore thus sait'i the Lord concerning the
king of Assyria, He shall not come into this ' city, nor
shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields,
nor cast a bank against it.

5 Which '' .say. Stand by thyself, come not near to

() Behold, it is ' written before me ; I will " not

7 Your iniquities, and the iuicinities of your fathers
"together, saitli the Lonn, which have burned in-
cense upon the mountains, and blasnhemcd me upon
the hills: therefore will I measure their former work
into tlieif bosom.
B Thus saith the Lord, As the " new wine is found
in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not ; for p a
lilcssing is in it : so will 1 do for my ^ servants' sakes,
that 1 may not destroy tlu!m all.
9 And I will brinj^foith 'asced outof Jacol), and
out of .Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine
elect shall ' inherit it, and my ' servants shall dwell
there.
10 And " Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the
valley of " Achor a place for the herds to lie down in,
for my people that liave sought me.
11 But ye arc they that forsake the Loan, that
forget my holy mountain, that prci)arc atablc forthat
^ troop, and that furnish the drink-offering unto that
number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and
yc shall all bow down to the slaughter : because
when 1 ' called, ye did not answer ; when I spake,
ye did not hear ; but did evil before mine eyes, and
did choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold,
my servants shall " eat, but ye shall be hungry : be-
hold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty :
behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be
ashamed :
1 4 Behold, my servants shall '' sing for joy of heart,
butyc shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl
for 'vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto
my chosen : for the Lord God shall slay thee, and
call his servants by '' another name :
16 Thathewhoblesseth himself in theearth, shall
bless himself in the God of f truth : and he that swear-
eth in the earth, shall swear by the God of truth ; be-
cause the former troubles are forgotten, and because
they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create *new heavens, and a new
earth : and the former shall not be rcmembcied, nor
come into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that
which I create : for, behold, I create Jerusalem ' a
rejoicing, and ^ her people a joy.
1 9 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my
peoi)Ic : and the voice of weeping shall be no more
heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days,
nor an old man that hath not '' filled his days: for the
child f^all die ' a hundred years old ; but the sinner,
being i hundred years old, shall be accursed.
21 And thev shall build houses, and inhabit them :
and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of
them.

CHAPTER h
The time and the calling of Jeremiah.
THE ' words of .leremiah the son of " Hilkiah, of
the priests th»t ivere m " Anathoth, in the land
of Benjamin : —
2 To whom the word of the Lord '' came in the
days of " Josiah the son of Anion king of Judah, in
the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah king of Judah, unto the || end of the eleventh
year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah,
unto the carrying away of Jerusalem cajitive in the
fifth month.
4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me,
saying,
5 Before I ' formed thee in the belly ' 1 knew thee ;
and before thou earnest foith out of the womb 1
^ sanctified ^hee ; mid I ordained thee a prophet unto
the nations.
6 Tlfen said I, ' Ah, Lord God ! behold, * I cannot
speak ; for I cm a 'child.
7 But the Lord said unto nie, Say not, I am achild :
for thou shalt go to all that I shall "" send thee, and
° whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 " Be not afraid of their faces : for ^ I am with
thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and ^ touched
my mouth : and the Lord said unto me, Behold, 1 1
have 'put mv words in thy mouth. <
10 See, I have this day ' set thee over the nations, \
and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to jiulldown, i
and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to
plant.
11 Moreover, the word of the Lord camt unto
me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou .'' And I said,
I see a ' rod of an " almond-tree.
12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast "well
seen : for I will '' hasten my word to perform it.
13 And the word of the Lord came unto me the
second time, saying. What seest thou .'* And I said.
I see a ' scething-pot; and the face thereof w toward
the " north. >
14 Then the Lord saiduoto me, Out of the north'
an " evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of u ch. 4, o.
the land.
15 For. lo, I will ' call all the families of the king-
doms of the north, saith the Lord ; and they shall "'' ' '' '
come, and they shall ''set every one his throne at dch-as,*
the entering ot the gates of Jerusalem, and against
all the walls thereof round about, and against all the
cities of Judah.
16 And I wilj utter my judgments " against them ^'g^l''^
touching all their wickedness, ' who have forsaken '
me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and so.'™'"'*'
worshipped the works of their own hands. ch.n,i3.
17 'Ihou therefore 8 gird up thy loins, and arise, and l^^^lf
speak unto them all that I command thee: i)enotdis- •«'<^'-

8 For, behold, I have made thee this day a ' <ie

against the whole Mand; againstthe kings of Judah, kisa.so,i
against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, ac» i ''I'
and against the pi ople of the land.
19 And they shall ' fight against thee : but they shall ' '^'■- »'. ^
" not prevail against thee ; for I aw with the; ; saitli m acu a.
the Lord, to deliver thee. ^^'
CHAPTER U.
God expostiilateth with the Jews.
MOREOVER, the word of the Lord came to
me, saying,
2 Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying.
Thus saith the Lord, I remember ' thee, tlie '' kind- ' '"'•'"■*
ness of thy youth, the "^ love of thine espousals, when ^ ^■"^- '«.

promises of the gospel.
8 And { saw, when 'for all the causes whereby
backsliding Lsrael con^niitted adultery, I had 'nut
her away, and given iiec a bill of divorce ; yet her
treacherous sister Judah " feared not, but went and
played the harlot also.
y And it came to i)ass, through the * lightness of
her whoredom, that she denied the land, and com-
mitted adultery with ^ stones and with stocks.
10 And yet forall this her treacherous sister Judah
hath not turned unto me with ho: whole heart, but
' feignedly, saith the Lord.
1 1 And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding
Israel hath justified f herself more than treacherous
Judah.
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the "north,
and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the
IjORd j and I will not cause mine anger to fall up()H
you ; f^r I am ^ merciful, saith the Lord, and I will
not keep anger ' for ever.
13 Only ''acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou
hast transgressed against the Lord why Cod, and
hast ° scattered thy ways to the strangers under every
green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith
the Lord.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ;
for I am ' married unto yo" : and I will take j^ou
■* one of^i city, and two of a family, and I will bring
you to Zion :
15 And I will give you '' pastors according to my
heart, which shall ' feed you with knowledge and
understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be '' multi-
plied and increased in the land, in ' those vlays, saith
the Lord, they shall say no more.. The "" ark of the
covenant of the l.ord; neither shall it come to mind;
neither shall they remember it ; neither shall they
visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 ilt that time they shall call Jerusalem the
" throne of the Lord ; and "ail the nations shall l)o
gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jeru-
salem : neither shall they walk any more after the
■'jjmagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk
^ with the house of Israel, and they shall come to-
f ether out of the land of the north to the land that
have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the
children, and ' give thee a pleasant land, a goodly
heritage of the hosts of nations ? And I said, Thou
shall call me, ' My father ; and slialt not turn away
from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from
her t husband, so have ye dealt treacherously vvith
me, O house of Israel, saith the LoRi ..
21 A ' voice was heard upon the " high places,
weeping and supplications of the children of Israel :
for they have " perverted their way, and they have
forgotten the Lord their God.
22 " Return, ye backsliding children, and I will
* heal your backslidings. Behold, * we come unto
thee ; for thou art die Lord pur God.
23 Truly in v.iin is salvation hoped for from the
*■ hills, and from the multitude of nriountains : truly
' in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
2'i For '' shame hath devoured * the labour of our
fathers from our vonth ! their flocks snd their herd?,

CHAPTER IV.
1 God calleth Israel by his promise....3 He exhoitetli Judali to
repentance.
IF thou wilt return, "O Israel, saith the Lord, H'i]'"^
return "^unto me ; and if thou wilt nut away thine """''^
' abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou ''not ''•'"'•'^.'*
remove.
2 And thou shalt "swear. The Lord Iiv^eth, in
truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the
nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him
shall they ' glory.
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Judali
and Jerusalem, « Break up your fallow ground, and
'' sow not among thorns. '
4 ' Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take 23'. °'"'
away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah
and iiihabitants of Jerusalem ; lest '' my fury come
forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem ;
and say, ' Blow ye the trumpet in the land : cry,
Gather together, and say. Assemble yourselves, and
let us go into the defenced cities.
6 Set up the standard toward Zion : f retire, stay . _ _
not ; fr;_I y/\\\ bring evil from the north, and a great '-"i"'".''"
destruction.
7 ""The lion is come up from his thicket, and "the
destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way ; he is gone
forth from his place to make thy land " (!osolate : and
thy cities shall be laid vvaste without an inhabitant.
8 For this ^ gird you with sackcloth, lament and
howl ; for the fierce anger of the Lord is ■> not turned
back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the i"'"-'^'-
Loud, that the 'heart of the king shall perish, and 'J^''«'
the heart of the princes ; and the [iriests shall be
astonished, and the prophets ' shall wonder.
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! surely 'thou hast
greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ',,"''"•*'
Ye shall have peace : whereas the sword reachetli
unto the soul.
1 1 At that time shall it be said to this i)eo|)]e and
to Jerusalem, "Adry wind of the high places in the ^^r™v.23,
wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to vmf is.

them.
13 Behold, he shall 'come up as clouds, and his
chariots shall be as a whirlwind : his horses are
'' swifter than eagles. ' Wo unto us ! for we are
spoiled.
14 O Jerusalem, *' wash thy heart from wicked-
ness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy
" vain thoughts lodge ' within thea?
16 For a voice declareth ^from Dan, and publish-
eth '"affliction from mount Ephraim.
1 6 Make ye ' mention to the nations : behold, pub-
lish against Jerusalem, thot watchers come from a
'' far country, und give out their voice against the
cities of Judah.

things unto thee : this is thy wickedness, because it
is " bitter, because it reacheth unto thy heart.
19 "My bowels, my bowels ! I am pained at my
very heart; my heart inaketh a noise in me : i cannot
hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul,
the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 Destruction'' upon destruction is cried: for the
whole land is si)oilod: suddenly are my tents spoiled,
and my curtains in a moment.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear
the sound of the trumpet?
22 For my people is "• foolish, they have not known
me ; they are sottish children, ami they have none
understanding : they are ' wise to do evil, but to do
good they have ' no knowledge.
2^ I beheld the earth, and, lo, it ivas • without form
and void : and the heavens, and they had " no light.
24 1 beheld the mountains, and, lo, they » trembled,
and all the hills moved lightb-
2.3 I beheld, and, lo, there UuS no man, and all the
^ birds of the heavens were fled.
26 1 lieheld, and, lo, the fruitful place luos a wilder-
ness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at
the ^ presence of the Lokd, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land
shall be desolate ; yet will 1 not make " a full end.
28 For this shall the earth ^ mourn, and the heav-
ens above be black : because I have spoken it. I have
j)uri)Osed it, and will ' not repent, neither will i turn
Lack from it.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the
d2Chr.3s, horsemen and bowmen ; they shall go into '' thick-
A.no»9,2, ets, and climb up upon the rocks : every city shall
*■ be forsaken, and i: i a man dwell therein.
30 And when thou art s[)oilcd, what wilt thou do ?
Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though

thev swear '' falsely.
3 O Lord, are not * thine eyes upon the truth ?
thou hast 'stricken them, but they have not grieved ;
thou hast consumed them, but they have ^ r fused to
receive correction : they have made their faces har-

6 For even thy "brethren, and the house of thy ""•«.<■

them not, though they speak " fair words unto thee. ' '"
7 I have forsaken ''my house, I have left my heri- S.i!»''

9 My heritage is unto me as ' a si)eck!ed bird ; the

10 Many 'pastors have destroyed my vi.icyarc,,

8 Thou sha!t not also j;o into the ' house of feast-
in;i;, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
'J Kor thus saith the liOHO of hosts, the God of
Israel ; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this i)lace
• in your eyes, and in vour days, the voice '' of mirth,
and the voice of gladness, tlie voice of the bride- '
feroom, and the voice of the bride.
1 A nd it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew ^
this people all these words, and they shall say unto :
ihee, ' Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this :
f;rcat evil against us .'' or '' what is our iniquit> .'' or
\A hat is our sin, that we have committed against the
Loud our CJod ?
1 1 Then shalt thou say unto them, ' Because your
fathers have forsaken me, saith tluj Lord, and have
walked after other gods, and have served them, and
have woisiiipped them, and have forsaken me, and
have not kept my law :
12 And ye have ™ done worse than your fathers ;
(for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagina-
tion of his evil heart, that they may "not hearken
unto me ;)
13 Therefore will I "cast you out of this land into
\\ land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers ;
and there shall ye serve other gods day and night,
where I will not p shew you favour.
14 '' Therefore, behokl, the ' days come, saith the
Lord, that it " shall no more l)e said, The Lord
liveth that brought up the children of Israel out of
the land of Egypt ;
15 But, The Lord liveth that brought up the
^children of Israel from the land of the north, and
from all the lands whither he had driven them : and
I will " bring thein again into their land that I gave
unto their fathers.
16 Behold, I will send for many 'fishers, saith
the Lord, and they shall fish them ; and after will I
send for many hunt(M-s, and they shall hunt them
from every mountain, and from every hill, and out
of the holes of the rocks.
17 For f mine eyes are upon all their ways : they
are ' not hid from my face, neither is their hiiquity
hid from mine eyes.
18 And first I will " recompense their iniquity and
their sin double ; because they have defiled my land,
they have filled mine inheritance with the *' carcases
of their detestable and abominable things.
19 O Lord, " my strength, and my fortress, and \
my refuge in the day of afiliction, the ''Gentiles sliall \
come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall i
say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, <
and things wherein there is • no profit. ]
20 Shall a man 'make gods unto himself, and j
they are ^ no gods ?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once ''cause tliem
to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my
might ; and they shall know that my name is The
Lord.

TH E sin of Jndah is written wijth a ' pen of iron,

3 O my moinitnin in tin; field, I will give thy std)-
stance and al| thy treasures to the spoil, and thy
high ' places for i>in, througtuiut all thy borders.
4 And thiHi, even thyself, shalt * discontinue from
thy heritage that 1 pve thee ; aiid I will cause thee
to serve thnie eiicnnes in th'.^ land which thou know-
est not : for ye have kindled "• a fire i#lBine anger,
which shall burn for ever.
5 ThuH saith the iiOKi>, Cursed be the man that
' trusteth in Unin, and maketh llesh his arm, and
whose h rt departeth from the Loat) :
8 For ne shall be like the heath in the des(<rt, anil
shall ** not see when gocul cometh ; but shall inhabit
the ' parched phices in the wilderness, in a salt I';,.'
and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that " trusteth in t'iO Loud,
and whose hope the 1..ord is :
8 For he shall be as °a tree planted by the waters,
and that sjtreadeth out her roots by the river, and
shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall
lie green ; and shall not be careful iu the year of
"drought, neither shall ''cease from yielding fruit.
9 Tlie heart is dotuiitfid ' above all thitigs, and
'desperately wicked : who "can know it.-*
10 I the Lord 'search the heart, /try the reins,
even to give every man according to his ways, and
according to the fruit of his doings
11 As the partridge sktcthoueggs, and hatcheth
them not; so he " that getteth riches, and not by right,
shall * leave them in the '..ddst of his days, anil at
his end shall be '' a fool.
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning iv
the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all that ' forsake
thee shall be ashamed, and they that dejjart from
me shall be ' written in the earth, because they have
forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
14 '' Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed ;
save me, and I shall be siived : for thou art my praise.
15 Behold, they say ui:to me, ' Where is the word
of the Lord ? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have '' not hastened from being ■•
pastor 'to follow thee ; neither have ° I desired the
wofiil day, thou knowest : that which came out of
my lips was 'right before thee.
1 7 J3e not a t(;rror unto me : thou art my hoiie iu
the « day of evil.
18 Let them be ''confounded that persecute me,
but let ' int me be confounded ; let them be dismayed,
but let not me bo disnviyed : bring upon them the
(layof evil, and destroy them with doul)ie (lest ruction.
\y Thus .said the Lord unto me, Go and stand in
the '' gate of the children of the |)eople, whereby the
kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go
out, and in all the gates of .Jerusalem ;
20 And ' say unto them, Hear ye t!ic word of the
Lord, ye "kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Ye shall certainly

29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these

33 And the '' slain of the Lord shall be at that day

for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.

their land is desolate, because of the fierceness of the

IN tlu?" beginning of the reign of Jchoiakim, the

dah, which come to worship in the Lord's house, all
the words that 1 command thee to speak unto them :

from his evil way, thai I may ''repent me of the evil,
which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil

And tiiou sRalt say unto them. Thus saith
will make this city '' a curse to all the nationsof the
earth.
7 So the 'priests, and the prophets, and all the
people, hcarcl Jeremiah speaking these words in the
house of the Lord.
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made
anendof speaking all that the Lord had commanded
him, to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and
the prouhets and " all the people, took him, saying.
Thou slialt surely ' die.
9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the
Lord, saying, This house shall be " like Shiloh, and
this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant .'' ,_
And all the people were gathered " against Jeremiah Vj,
in the house of the Lord.
10 When the i)rinces of Judah heard these things,
then xhay came up from the king's house unto the
house of the Loud, and sat down in the ° entry of
the •' new gate of the Lord's ho%tse.
1 1 Then spake the " nriestsand the prophets unto \lSi."^
the princes, and to all the peojile, saying, This man
IS ' worthy to die ; for he hath i)roi)hesied against
this citv', as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, and k "'' '
to all the people, saying. The Lord 'sent mc to •"'''"""'• ^
prophesy against this house, and against this city, all i^V'*
the words that ye have heard.
13 Therefore now 'amend your ways and your
doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; 'acu'i3,58.
and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath
pronounced against you.
14 As for me, behold, " I am in your hand ; do uch.3»,».
with me ' as seemeth good and me'.;t unto you : ,2s«m.w,
15 But know ye for certain, that, if ye put me to ^
death, ye shall surely bring '' innocent blood upon y3»iien»,
yourselves, and upon this city, and U|)on the inhabit- Ewk.7,a,4
auts thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent
me unto you, to speak all these words in your ear.s.
16 'Then said the 'princes and all the people unto «^a»n.a2,
the priests and to the jirophets. This man j.v not ■ Knm. as,
worthy to die ; for he hath siioken to us in the name *''
of the Lord our God
I 17 Then roseupcertait: of the ''elders of the land,
and spake to all the assembly of the jicoiile, saying,
18 Micah the " Morasthite prophesied in the days
of Hezekiahking of Judah, and spake to all the peo-
ple of Judah, saying. Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
' Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem
shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house
as the high places of a forest.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah
put him at all to death ? did he not ' fear the Lord, f,;
and besought the Lord, and the Lord 'repented him
of the evil which he had pronounced against them -^
Thus might we procure * great evil against our souls.
20 And there was '' alsoa mai* that prophesied in
the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah
of ' Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city, ^
and against tliis land, according to all the words of h

great couipaiiy shall return thitlier.
9 They shall come with ' weemng, and with 'suu-
plications will I lead them : I vvilleause them to walk
by the rivers of waters in a straight way, whereui
they shall ' not stumble ; lor 1 am a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is my first-born.
10 Ilear the word of the Loud, O ye nations, and

12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the
' height of Zion, and shall How together to the "good-

oil, and for the young of the Hock, and of the herd :
and their souls shall be as a watered garden ; and
they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the ' virgin rejoice in thedance, both
young men and old together : for 1 will turn their
mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make
them rejoice from their '' sorrow.

fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my
goodness, sahli the Lord.

' Riuiiah, lamentation, and bitter weeping ; Rachel
weeping for her children, refused to be comforted
for her children, ^ because they were not.
IG Thus saith the Lord, ''Refrain thy voice from
^\eeping, and thine eyes from tears : lor thy work
shall be ' rew aided, saith the Lord ; and they shall
''come again from the land of the enemy.
1 7 And there is ' hope in thine end, saith the Lord,
that thy "■ children sliall come again to their own

IN the " ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in *»•

they besieged it. ^. ^'''■'•*-
2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the ws.

4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king
of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then

by the u ay of the king's garden, ' by the gate betwixt ].*'

they have cast into the dungeon ; and he is like to die
for luiiiger in the i)lace where he is ; for there is no
more bread in the city.
10 Then the king "^ commanded Ebed-melech the
Ethioiiian, saying. Take from hence thirty men with
thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the
dungeon, before lie die.
1 1 So Ebod-meleeh took the men with him, and
went into the house of the king under the treasury,
and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags,and
let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jere-^;
miah. Put now thr.se old cast clouts and ' rotten rag*
' under thine arm-holes, under the cords. And Jere-
miah did so.
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and
took him ujj out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah
remained in the court of the * prison.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and "took Jere-
niiah the jirophct unto him into the * third entrv that
is in the house of the Lord : and the king said: unto
Jeremiah, 1 will ask thee ^ a thing ; • hide nothing

15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare
it unto thee, wilt thou not surely * put me to death ?
and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou '' not hearken
unto me ?
16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jere-
miah, saving, As the Lord liveth, that made us this

thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life
But die C'lialdeauj' army pursued after them,

19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiali, ''I

20 JVIoab is confounded ; for it is broken down :
" howl and cry ; " tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is
»Num.ji, spoiled, . ;
"• 21 And "judgment is come upon the plain country ;
oD»ut.ii. upon ilolon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon
Beth-diblathaim,
23 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bcth-gamul,
and upon Beth-meon,
2-1 And upon Kerioth, and uiwn Bozrah, and upon
all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 The I" horn of Moab is cut off, and his "* arm
is broken, saith the Lord.
26 Make ye him Mrunken ; for he magnified /m"//'.-
Ac//"' ag;unst the Lord : Moab also shall ' wallow
in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 For was not Israel a " derision unto thee ? was
he ' found among thieves ? for since thou spakest of
..h.2,2B. him, thou >' skippedst for joy.
r r..22,7. 28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and
dwell in the 'rock, and be like the " dove that maketh

29 " ^Ve havn beard the pride of Moab, (he is ex-
ceeding proud,) his loftiness, and hisarrogancy, and
his pricle, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his wrath, saith the Loud : butiY shall
* not be so ; his '' lies shall not so effect it.
31 Therefore will "■ I howl for Moab, and I will
cry out lor all Moab ; my heart shall mourn for the
men ofKir-heres.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with
the weeping of Jazer : thy plants are gone over the
sea, they reach even to the sea of .Jazer : ' the spoiler
is fallen ui)oa thy summer-fruits, and upon thy
vintage.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful
field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused
wine to fail from the wine-presses : none shall tread
with shouting ; their shouting shall be ^ no shouting. ^

35 Moreover, I will cause to cease in Moab, saith
iNum.25,s. the Lord, him that offereth in the ' high places, and
him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like
pipt^s, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men
of Kir-heres : because tiie riches that he hath gotten
'' are f)erished.
37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard
'dipped: upon all the handss/ta//6e cuttings, and upon

38 There shaU be lamentation generally upon all

The jiidenient of Uod against Babylon in revenge of Israel.
THUS saith the Lord, Behold, I will
against Babylon, ajid against them th
in the midst of them that rise up 'against
destroying wind .
2 And will send unto Babylon 'fanners, that shall
fan her, and shall ''em[)ty her land: for in the day of
trouble they shall b<; against her round about.
3 Against /u»i thcU bendeth let the archer bend his
bow, and against him that lifteth himself uj) in his
brigandine : and " s|)are ye not her young men ; de-
stroy ye utterly all her host.
4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chal-
dcansj and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5 For Israel hath not been \\ forsaken, nor Judah
of his God, of the Lord of hosts ; though their land
was ■■ flailed with sin against ihe Holy One of Israel.
6 * Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver
every man '' his soul ; be not cut ofr in her iniquity :
for this is the ' time of the Lord's vengeance ; he i
will render unto her a recompense.
7 Babylon hath been ' a golden cup m the Lord's
hand, that ' made all the earth drunken : the nations
have drtmken of her wine ; thereft re the nations are
mad.
8 Babylon is " suddenly fallen and destroyed :
" howl for !ier ; take balm for her i)aLn, if so be she
may be healed.
9 " We would have healed Babylon, but she ''is
not healed : forsake her, and '' let us go every one
into his own country ; for her judgment reacheth
unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 The Lord hath "■ brouglit forth our righteous-
ness : come, and let us " declare in Zion the work of
tlie Lord our God.

of king Zedekiah.
And in the '' fourth month, in the ninth day of hzcch u,

the king, and ""overtook Zedekiah in the plains of
Jericho ; and all his army was scatttMcd from him.

1 The miserable estate of Jerusalem by lier sin.... 12 Her com-
plaint, 18 and confes.sion of God's righteous judgments.
Hew doth the "city sit solitary that was full of
peoiile ! how is she become as a widow ! she
that %cas great among the nations, and '' princess
among the provinces, now is she become ' tributary ! ,
2 She "^ wcepeth .sore ii. the night, and her tears ]
are on her cheeks ; among * all her lovers she hath I
none to comfort /ifir: all her friends have dealt treach- J
{>rf)iie|v with her : thev are beronie her enernies, ?
3 Judah ' is gone into captivity, because of affile- j
tion, and because of great servitude ; she « dwelleth
among the heatiien, she findeth no rest : all her per-
secutors overtook her between the •■ straits.
4 ' The ways of Zion do mourn, because none
come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate •
^ her iiriests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and slie is
in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries are the 'chief, her enemies |)ros-
per ; for the Lord hath afllicted her for the " niul-
tituile of her transgressions : her children are gone
into captivity before the enemy.
6 And from the daughter of Zion " all her beauty
is departed : her princes are become like harts that
find "no pasture; and they are gone without strength
before the pursuer.
7 .Icisis.jjem rempm})ered in the days of her .nflflic-
tion, and of her miseries, ail her ^ i)leasant things
(hat she had in th(! days of old, \^hen her people fell
into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her :
the adversaries saw her, ana did "^ mock at her sab-
baths.

I will break * the staff of bread in Jerusalem ; and
they shall eat bread by weight, and with care ; and
they shall drink water by measure, and with aston-

17 And the " Babylonians came to her into the bed

ing to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein

tians for the paps of thy youth.

CHAPTER XXIV.
By a boiling pot, is showfid Jerusalem's destruction.
AGAIN, in the* ninth year, in the tenth month,
in the tenth cUuj of the month, the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day,
cvcnof this same day; the khig of Babylon '' set him-
self against Jerusalem this same day.
3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house,
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord G op, Set
on ' a pot, set it on, and also pour water mto it :
4 '' Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every
*good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder ; fill it with
the choice bones.
5 Take the ' choice of the flock, and burn also the
bones under it, and make it * boil well, and let them
seethe the bones of it therein.
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, Wo to the
'' bloody city, to the pot whose scum ts therein, and

3 Then went he inward, and measured the post
of the door two cubits, and the door six cubits, and
the breadth of the door seven cubits.
4 So he measured the length thereof, ' twenty cu-
bits, and the breadth, twenty cnbitSjbefore the temple:
and he said unto me. This Is the most \\o\y place.
5 Aftei he measured the wall of the house six cu-
bits ; and the breadth of every * side-chamber four
cubits, round about the ly>use on every side.
6 And the side-chambers were three, one over
another, and thirty in order ; and they •■ entered into
the wall, which was of the house for the side-cham-
bers round about, t!iat thev rnight have hold, but
they had not hold in the wallof the house.
7 And there was an enlarging and a winding about
still ui)W'ard to the side-chambers : for the winding
about of the house went still upward round about the
house : therefore the breadth of the house was still
upward, and so ' increased/rom the lowest chamber
to the highest by the midst.
8 I saw also the height of the house round about :
the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed
of six great cubiis.
9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the
side-chamber without, was five cubits; and that
which was\cft was the place of the side-chambers
that ivere within.
10 And between the chambers t<;fls the wideness
of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
1 1 Andthedoors of the side-chambers t<;ere toward
the place that was left, '' one door toward the north,
and another door toward the south ; and the breadtli
of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
12 Now the building that was before the separate
place, at the end toward the west, was seventy cubits
broad ; and the wall of the building was five cubits
thick round about,and the length thereof ninety cubits.
13 So he measured the house, a hundred cul)its
long ; and the separate place, and the building, with
the walls thereof, a hundred ciibits long ;
14 Also the breadth of th<! face of the house, and
of thcseparate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
16 And he measured the length of the building
over against the separate piarc which was behind it,
and the ' galleries thereof on the one side, and on the
other side, a hundrei" cubits, with the iimer temple,
and the porches of thi; co'irt;

before the house : and i looked, and, behold, the
glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord ; and
1 fell ujion my face.
5 And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, 'mark
well, and b'^hold with thine eyes, and hear with,
thine ears, all that I say unto thee concerning all the
ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the
laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the

one shall shut the gate.
13 Thou shalt daily preimrc a burnt-ofiering unto
the Lord of -a lamb of the first year without blemish ;
thou shalt prepare it t every morning.
14 And thou shalt i)repare a meat-offering for it
every morning, the si.xtli part of an ephah, and the
thirci i)artofa bin of oil, to temper with the tine Hour;
a meat-offering continually, by a perpetual ordinance,
unto the Lord.
1 5 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat-
ofTering, and the "oil, every morning, Jc»/' a continual
burnt-offering.
16 II Thus saith the Lord God, If the j)rincc give
a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall
be his sons'; it 67t«//6e their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of
his stivants, then it shall be his to the "year of liberty ;
after it ^ shall return to the jirince : but his inherit-
ance shall be his sons' for them.
1 8 Moreover, the [irince shall not take of the peo-
ple's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out
of their possession ; but he shall give his sons inher-
itance out of his own possession ; that my people
be not scattered every man from his possession.
19 H After he brought me through the entry, which
rms at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of
the priests, which looked toward the north: and, be-
hold, there was a i)lace on the two sides westward.
20 Then said he unto me, This is the ])laee where
the iiricsts shall f boil the trespass-offering and the
sin-olTering, where they shall bake tlie meat-ollering ;
that they bear (hem not out into the outer court, to
sanctify the people.
21 Then he brought me forth intotheonterc !-t,and
caused me to pass by the four corners of the cf ; ; and,
behold, in every corner of the court there ivas.i court.
22 In the four corners of the court there were
courts 'oined of forty cubits long, and thirty broad :
these four corners ivere of one measure.
23 And there ivas a row oi' building round about in
iiicm, round about them four, and it was made with
boiling-places under the rows round about.
Tlie vwon qfthe holy tmters.

9 But when the people of the land shall come be-
fore the Lord in the solemn f'jasts, he thatcnteroth
in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go
out by the way of the south gate ; and he that enter-
eth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by
the way of ''0 north gate: he shall "nut return by ■
the way of uie gale whereby he came in, but shall

7 iNow, when I had returned, behold, at tho bant
of the river ivere very many ' trees on the one side L'lcfii' **■

8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out
toward the east country, and go down into the desert,
and go into the sea ; wliich being brought forth into
the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that
liveth, which inoveth, whithersoever the rivers shall
come, shall live; and there shall be a very great l^^-^^
multitude of fish, because these waters shall come
thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing
shall live whither the river cometh.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the " fishers shall it^^^.'^
stand upon it, from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim ;
they shall be a place to spread forth nets : their fish
shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the

said, There is not a man upon the cartli that can shew

1 1 And it is a rare thing that the king fcquireth ; |

king except the gods, whose dwelling "is not with

THE word of the Lord that ' came unto Hosea,
the son of Beeri, in thedaysof Uz'/iah,.Jotham,
Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and iu the
days of Jeroijoam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 The beginning of the word of the Lord I' by
Hosea. And the liORn said to Hosea, Go, take unto
thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whore-
doms: for the land hath committed "great whore-
dom. 'f/r/;rt///;iA' from the Lord.
3 .So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of
Diblaim ; which coiiceivevl, and bare him a son.
4 And 'he Lord said unto him, Call his name
.Je/,r(>;'l; for yet a little wliilc, and I will avenge tlie
blood of 'Me/ieei i.[ion the house of .leliu, and will
cause to cease the kingdom of the "- house of Israel.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will
' break the how of Israel in (h<- valley'?! .'"zrecl.

6 And she conceived apiii, and bare a daughter.
And God said unto him. Call her name Lo ruhamah ;
ior I will 8 no more have mercy upon the house of
Israel ; but I will •■ utterly take them away.
7 But I w\\\ have mercy upon tlie house of Judah,
and will save them 'by the Loud their God, and will
not save them '' by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle,
by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had ' weaned TiO-ruhamah, she
conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said (Jod, Call his name Lo-ammi : fi)r
ye are ^not my i)eoi)le, and I will not be your Gcd.
10 Yet the number of the "children of Israel shall
be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured
; nor numbered : and it shall come to i)ass, that iu thi;
I place where it was said unit) them. Ye are not my
! people, there it shall be said unto them. Ye are the
" sons of the living God.
1 1 Then shall the children of Judah and the chil-

CHAPTER 1.
Amos showeth God's judgments upon Syria, &c.
THE words of Amos, w!:o was aujong the " herd-
men of "Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel
in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the davs i
of Jeroboam »he son of Joash king of Israel, tvvo'
years before the ' earthouake. ;
2 And ha said, " The Lord will ' roar from Zion, I
and utter his voice from Jerusalem ; and the habita- •
tions of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of;
Carmel shall wither.
3 Thus saith the Lord, For ' three transgressions
of Damascus, and for ^ four, I will not turn av/ay the
punishment tlu'reof; because they ''have threshed
Gilcad with threshing-instruments of iron :
4 But ' I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
6 1 will break also the ^ bar of Damascus, and cut
oft the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him
that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden ;
and the neople of Syria shall go int(» captivity unto
Kn-, saith the Lorp.
6 11 Thus saith the Lord, Forthreetransgressions
of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn awav the pun-
ishmrnt thereof; because they 'carried a«av captive i
the whole captivity, to deliver them up to F.dom :
7 But 1 will send '" a fire on the wall of Gaza,
which shall devour the palaces thereof:
H And 1 will cut otfthe inhabitant tVom Aslidod,
••■•■•• .i.-m- ■;: tin? SCepIrc litlUI AsllKOhlil,' ,itja
1 wdl " turn my h.uid against Ekron and the " rem- i
"^"tofthePhilistinesshallperish^saiththeLordGoD.
• 7'^-^^ ^^'^'^ ^'''^ Lord, tor three transgres-
sions 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 :
10 But I will send a fire on ' the wall of Tyrus,
which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 T[ Thus saith the Lord, For three transgressions
of Edom, and for four, I will not turn awav the pun
ishment thereof; because he did ' pursue his brother
with the sword, and did cast offall pity, and his anger
did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever :
12 But 1 will send a lire upon 'Teinan, which
shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
_ 13 H Thus saiih the Lord, For three tran.sgres-
si< : ?. of the children of Amnion, and for four, 1 will
not turn away the punishment thereof; because they
have " ripped up the women with child of Gilead,
that they might * enlarge their border :
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Kabbah,
and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with "i shout-
ing in tlu, day of battle, with a tem|)est in the day of
the whiihviiid :
15 And their ' king shall go into captivity, he and
his princes together, saith the Lord.

THE vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord
God concerning Edom, ' We have heard a ru-
mour from tl.3 Loud, and an ambassador is sent
among the heathen, " Arise ye, and let us rise up
against her in battle.
2 Behold, I have made thee 'small among the
heathen : thou art greatly despised. |
3 The pride of thy heart hath ''deceived thee, thou |
that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habita- 1
tion is high ; that ' saith in his heart. Who shall bring i
me down to the ground ? \
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and \
though thou .set thy 'nest among the stars, thence?
wilj 1 brin^ thee down, saith the Lord. \
o ^ If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, 5
(how art thou cut olf!) would they not have stolen?
till they had enough.' if the gra|)e-gatherers camcf
to tliei!, would they "■ not leave some grai)es ? \
(j How are the \\ things of Esau searched out I J
hoti) are his hidden things sought up! J
7 All the men of thy 'confederacy have brought |
thee tven to the border : the men that were at peace 5
with thee ha\ e 'deceiveil thee, and |)ievailcd against J
thee ; they that eat thy briiad have laid a wound uiuh r ?
thue : there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, sailli the Loud, even
destroy ' the wise incn out of Edom, and under-
standing out of th.^ mount of Esau .''
9 And thy ■" mighty men, O Ten-.an, shall be dis-
mayed, to the end ihat every one of the mount of.
^^^siui may be cut off by slaughter. \
10 For thy "violence against thy brother Jacob, 5
shame sliall cover thee, and thou shall be cut off "for j
ever. j
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, j
ill the day that the '' strangers carried away captive {
his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and J
'* cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou tvast as one of |
tliera. i
12 But thou shouldest not have 'looked on the day
of thy brother, in the day that he became a stranger;
neither shouldest thou have ' rejoiced over the chil-
dren of Judah in the day of theirdestruction ; neither
shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of
distress.
13 Thou shouldest 'not have entereu .nto the gate
of my people in the day of their calamity ; yea, thou
.shouldest not have looked on their afiliction in the
day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their
substan'-c in the day of their calamity :
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood inthecro.ss-
way, tociit off" those of his that did escape ; neither
shouldest thou have delivered np those of his that
did remain in the day of distress.
15 Forth(i ' day of the Lord is near upon all the
heathen : "as thou hast done, it shall be done unto
thee; thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
IG For as > ye have drunk ii|>on my holy moun-
tain, so shall all the heathen drink continually ; yea,
they shall drink, and they shall ' s\vai!ou down, and
they shall be as though they had not be(;n.
17 But upon mount Zion .shall be deliverance,
and there shall be holiness : ind the house of Jacob
"shall possess their possessions.
18 And the '' house of Jacob shall be a fire, and
the houseof Josejih a flani"', and the hon.se 01 Ivs;iu
for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour
them ; and there sliall not be any remaining of tlii'
house of Esau : for the Lord hath »ipok(Mi ii.
19 And they o/the .south shall possess the ' mount
of Esau ; and they of the plain the Philistines ;_and
they shall possessthefieldsofEphraim, and the fields
of Samaria ; and Fn'iijamin shall pnssrss (iiicaii.
20 And thecaf)tivity of this host of the children ot
Israel shall possess that of the Canaanitcs, cren unto
Zarerihath ; and the captivity of Jerusalem, ''which
IS in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of tiie south.
21 And " saviours shall come up on mount Zion
to judge the mount of Esau ; and the ' kingdom shall
be the Lohd's.

CHAPTER I.
I Jonah, sent to iNinevt-b, fleetli to Tanliish : 4 He is over-
taken by a teinpesf, and thrown iiiio tlie soa, &c.
IVrOVV the word of the Loud camu " uino Jonuli,
II till) son of Amittiii, savins,
2 Ariso, go to lNiiievuli,"''tliat great city, and cry
against it ; for their wickedness is come up " before
me.
S But Jonah rose up "^ to flee unto Tarshish ' from
the i)resence of the Lokd, and went down to Jop-
\y,\; and he found a ship going to Tarshisli : so lie
paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go
with iliutn unto Tarshish ' from tlie presencti of the
J..OUU.
4 lint the Loiiu 'sent out a great wind into the
sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so
that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every
man « unto his god, and '' cast forth the wan.vs that
ivere in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them :
but Jonah was gone down into the sides of tiie ship ;
and_ he lay, and was ' fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, ami said unto
him, ''What meanest thou, O sleener.'' arise, 'call
ii|)on thy G(x], if so be that God will think upon us,
tiiiU we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and
let us " cast lots, that we may kiiow for whose cause
this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot
"fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, " Tell us, we pray thee,
for whose cause this evil tls upon us : What is '"thiiie
occuiiation ? and whence comest thou ? what w thy
country ? and of what people art thou ?
9 And he said unto thetn, I " am a Hebrew ; and
' I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath
made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly 'afraid, and
said unto him, Why hast ' thou done this .'' (for the
men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord,
because he had told them.)
1 1 Then said they unto him, " What shall we do
unio thee, that the sea may be calm unto iis ? (for
the sea wrought, and was tempestuou.s.)
12 And he said unto them, "Take me up, and cast
ine forth into the sea ; so shall the sea be calm unto
you : for I know that ^ for my sake this great teiu-
l)est is upon you.
13 Nevertheless, the men ^ rowed hard to bring it
to the land; but they 'could not: for thcsea wrouglu,
and was tempestuous against them.
14 \Vherel'orc they cried unto the Lord, and said,
AVe beseech tii(:e, O Loan, we beseech thee, let us
not perish for thi.s nraifs life, and lay not upon us
innocent blood : for thou, O Lord, hast done '' as it
jilensed thee.
\o So they took up Jonah, and "^ cast hiin forth into
the .sea ; anil the sea '' ceased from her raging.
IG 'riien the men ' feared the Lord exceedingly,
and 'Offered a sacrificte unto the Lonn, and made
vows.
17 Now the L 3RD had ' prepared a great fish to
swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of
the fish three days and '' three nights.
I CHAPTEK II.
I I The prayer of Jonah : 10 lie is delivered out of the belly
I of the lisli.
THEN Jonah jirayed unto the Lord his God 'out
of the lish's belly,
2 And said, 1 cried by reason of mine afflii^tion
unto the Lord, and he '"heard me; outofliie belly
of liell cried I, an<itliou heardest my voice.
3 For thou hadst cast ' me into the deep, in the
midst of the seas; and the floods '' con)pas.sed me
about :^ all thy billows and thy waves passed over uii
i 4 Then ' 1 said, I am cast out ol thy sight ; yet
I will 'look again toward thy holy temple.
I 5 The 8 waters compassed me about i:v(:n to the
I soul : the depth closed me round al)out, the weeds
I were wrapi)ed about my head.
I G I went down to the bottoms of the moiuitains ;
1 the earth with her bars was alH)Ut me for ever : '' yet
Miast thou brought U|> my life from corruption, O Lokd
my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me 'I remembei«'d
the Lord ; and my prayer came in unto tli«>e, into
thy holy tem|)le.
8 They that observe lying vanities '' fors;ikc their
own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of
' thanksgiving ; 1 will pay that that 1 have vowed.
Salvation is of the Lord.
} 10 And the Lord ""spake unto t!ie fish, and it
\ vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
CHAPTER HI.
Jonah, sent again, preacheth to the Ninevi'es, &c.
AND the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the
" second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and
preach unto it the preaching "that I bid thee.
{ 3 So Jonah arose, and " went unto Nineveh, at^cord-
|ingto ihe word of the Lord. (Now Nineveh was
an exceeding great city, of three days' journey.)
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's
journey ; and he cried, and said, '' Yet forty days,
and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
\ 5 So the ' i)eopIe of Nnieveh believed God, and
}l)roclaiined a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the
I greatest of them even to the least ollhem.
5 6 For word came unto the king of Ninevi.h, and
i ' he arose liotii his throne, and he laid his robe fioin
5 him, and covered him witW sackcloth, and sat in
J ashes.
\ 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and f- piib-
nishcvl through Nineveh, (by the decree of the king
5 and his nobles,) saying, Let neither man nor beast,
I herd nor flock, taste any thing; letthemnot kv{\y iinr
{drink water :
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth,

'2 Who ''hate the i^ood, and love the evil; who

vengeance on his adversaries, and iie reserveth
wrath for his enemies.
3 The Loud is ' slow toan^er, and great in pow-
er, and will not at all acquit r//e wicked: the Lord
hath his way in the whirlwind aiul in the storm, and
the clouds are the dust of his feet. \
4 He '' rebuketh the sea, and niaketh it dry, and j
drieth up all the rivers: Bashan laiiKuislielli, and?
Carinel, and the ilower of Lebanon lansuisheth. |
y The "mountains quake at him, and the hills 5
melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, 1
' the world, ami all that dwell therein. 1
G ' Who can stand before his indisnation .'' 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. j
7 The Lonn is ' good, a strong hold in the day I
of trouble ; and he '' knoweth them that trust iii \

out of the house of thy gods will 1 cut oflthe graven

and wonder marvellously : for F will •■ work a work
in your tiays, ivhich ye will ' not believe, though ii
be told you.
6 For. lo, 1 raise up the ' Cl-aldeans, that bitter
and ' hasty nation, which shall march through the
breadth 01 the land, to ixissess the dwelling-places
that are not theirs.
7 They «/« terrible and dreadful : th(Mr judgment
and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards,
and are mi^re fierc" than the "' evening wolves : and
their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their
horsemen shall come from far ; they shall liy as the
° eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall comeall for violi-nce: their faces shall
sup U[) as th(; "east wind, and they shall gather the
captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff "at the kings, and the
lirinces shall he a .scorn unto them : they shall deride

ovei- kept.
'23 And the works of Josias were upright before his Lord,
with a heart ffl! of Kodliness.

written in former times, conierning those that sinned, and

5 Pliiirnoh the king of Kgypt came to raise war at Carchamis up-
on Ki;plirates ; and Josias wen! out against him.

to do with thee, O king of Judea ?
27 I am not sent out from the Lord (iod aganist thee ; for
my war is upon Luphrates : and now the Loni is with me, yea.

be not against the Lord. , . , • ^ l-
28 Ilowbeit Josias did not turn back bis chariot from him,
hut undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the
proiihet Jeremy, spoken by the mouth of the Lord :
2!) But joined battle with him in the plain ol iMegiddo, and
the princes came agafnst king Josias.
3(1 Then said the king unto his srt-vants, Ca<Ty me away out
of the batt'e: for lam very weak. And imnediately his ser-

i ND the angel that was sent unto nie, whose name was
J\. Uriel, gave me an answer, , . , . , , ,
2 And said. Thy heart hath gone too far in this world, and
thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the Most High f
3 Then said I, Yea, my lord. And he answered me, and
said, I am sent to shew thee three ways, and to set lorth three
similitudes before thee : t -n u a ,
4 Whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will shew thee
Iso the way that thou desirest to see, and I shall shew thee
iom whence the wicked heart comcth.
^ And I said, Tell on, my lord. Then said he unto me, lio
thy way. weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the
blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past.
6 Then answered i and said. What man is able to do that
that thou shouldest ask such tninLS of me ?
7 And he said unto me, If 1 should ask thee how great
dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are
in the beginning of the deep, or how many springs are above
the firmament, or which are the outgoings of paradise :
8 Peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, I never went
down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did 1 ever
climb up into heaven. , ^ l /•
9 Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the hre
and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast passed,
and of things from which thou canst not be separated, and yet
canst thou give me no answer of them.
10 He said moreover unto me. Thine own things, and such
• as are grown up with thee, canst thou not know ; , , ,
11 How should thy vessel then be able to comprehend the
way of the Highest, and tl\e world bein;; now outwardly corrupt-
ed to understand the i| corruption that is evident in my sight ?
12 Then said I unto him, It were better that we were not at
all th.m lint we should live still in wickedness, and to suffer,
iind not to know wherefore. _
13 He answered me, ami said, I went into a forest into a
pl.iiii. and the » trees took eoiiiisel,
1 4 \nd said. Come, let us go and make war against the sea,
that it may depart away before us, and that we may make us
more woods.
^1 For like as' || the groimi' is given unto the wood, anil
tl."%ea •<> his lloods : even so ' they that dwell upon ihe earth
may understand notlnni; but that which is upon t' •arth : and
he that dwelleth abo\e the heavens may only understand the
things that are above the height of the heavens.
Tl Then answered I and said, 1 beseech thee, O Lord, let
me have understanding : . , , , • • ., •
23 For it was not my mind to be curious of the high things,
but of such as pass by lis daily, namely, wherefore Israel is given
up as a reproach to'tlie heathen, and for wlia' cause the people
whom thou ha.st loved is given over unto ungoilly nali.ms and
why the hiw of our forefathers is brought to nought, and the
written eovenants come' |1 to noneeirecl,
24 .Vnd we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and
our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to
obtain mercy. ^
23 What will he then do unto his name whereby we are called f
of these things have I asked.
26 Then answered ho me, and said. The more thou search-
est, the more thou shall marvel ; for the world hastelh last to
pass away, , . , . .
27 And cannot comprehend the things that are nromisi;d to
the righteous in time to -^ome : for this world is full ol unright-
eousness and infirmities. , , , ■ »
H But as concerning the things whereof thou askcst me, I
will tell ihet! ; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof
is- not yet come. .
2<) If therefore thn* which is sown be not turned upside down,
and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then can-
not it come that is sown with good.
30 For the grs'in of evil seed hath been sown m the heart
of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath
it brought up unto this time i and how much shall it yet bring
forth until the || time of threshing come ? . ^ . , , ,
3 1 Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness the
grain of evil seed hath brought forth.
32 And when the cars shall be cut down, which are without
number, how great a floor shall they fill ? , „ ,
33 Then I answered and said. How, and when shall these
things come to pass ? wherefore are our years few and evil ?
34 And he answered me, saying. Do not thou hasten above
the Most Highest : for thy haste is in vain to be above him, lor
thou hast much exceeded. , • <•
35 Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question ol
these things in their chambers, saying^ How long shall I hope
on this fashion ? when cometli the fruit of the floor ol our
reward ? . , , , ,_ «.
3(i And unto these things || Uriel the archangel gave them ^Oj
answer, and said. Even when the number of seeds is filled in
for he hath weighed the world in the balance
nor,.
you: lor ne iiaiii wnjiucu mc ««■... ■•• ..... .#•" -■
37 By measure hath he measured the times, and by number
hath he numbered the times ; and he doth not move nor stir
them, until the said measure be fulfilled.
\ 38 Then answered I and said, O Lord that Dearest rule,
J even we all are full of impiety.
J 39 And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors rf the
\ righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell
\ upon the earth. . , „ ,
J 40 So he answered me, and said. Go thy way to a woman
\ with child, and ask other when she hath fulfilled ht.r nine months,
5 if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her.
J 41 Then said 1, No, lord, that can she not. Ant! he .ifiid
5 unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like the womb
5 of a woman : •, 1 1 .1 1 . .
\ 42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh baste to
\ escape the necessity of the travail : even so.do these places
i haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them.

14 Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulness went through
all my body, and my mi.nd was troubled, so that it tainted.
15 So the angel that was come to talk wiili me, held me,
comforted me, and set me up upon my feet.
16 And in the second ni);ht it came to pass, that Salathiel
the captain of tiie people came unto me, saying. Where hast
thou been ? and why is thy countenance so heavy }
1 7 Knowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee in
the land of their captivity f
1 8 Up then, and eat bread, and forsake is not, as the shep-
herd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves.
19 Then said I unto him. Go thy ways from me, and come
not nigh me. And he heard what 1 said, and went from me.
20 .vnd so I fasted seven days, niouiiiing and weeping, liiie
as Uriel the angel commanded me.
21 And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of my
heart were very grievous unto me again,
22 And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and
1 began to talk with the Most High again,
. 1 r i i I I -^ ''" " ' """ • ""S"i ""< nave seen tne
.lavaiiol Jacob, and the «i.:irisome toil of the stock of Israel?
30 And he said unto me, iNninber me the things that are not
yet come, gather me together the drops that are scattered
abroad, make me the flowers green again that are withered
37 Open me the places that are closed, and bring me forth
the winds that in them are shut up, shew me the image of a
voice: and then I will declare to thee the thing that thou
labourest to know.
38 And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, who may know
these things, but he that liiitli not his dwelling with men ?
39 As lor me, I am unwise : how may 1 then speak of these
things whereof thou askest me ?
40 Then said he unto me. Like as thou canst do none of
these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find
out my judgment, or in the end the love that 1 have promised
t unto my people.
41 And 1 said. Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh unto them
that be reserved till the end : and what shall they do that have
J been belore me, or we that be now, or they that shall come af-
I ter us }
I . "^^ ^i"*^' he said unto me, I will liken my judgment unto a
, , ring : like as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is
obtain : 5 no swiftness of the first.
I 43 So I answered and said, couldest thou not make those

I say unto her. If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it

IN D he answered me, saying,
this world for many, but the world to come for few.
2 I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras ; As when thou askest
the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould where-
of eartheii vessels are made, but little dust that gold cometh of:
even so is tlie course of this present world.
3 ' There be many created, but few shall be saved.
4 So answered I and said. Swallow then down, O my soul,
understanding, and devour wisdom.
.') For thou hast agreed to give ear, and art willing to proph-
esy : for thou hast no longer space than only to live.
6 O Lord, if thou suffer not thy servant, that we may pray
before thee, and i| th.ou give us seed unto our heart, and culture
to our understanding, that there may i.onH> fruit of it ; how shall
each man live that is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man ?
7 For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thy
hands, like as thou hast said.
8 For II when the body is fashioned now in the mother':)

34 For what is man, that thou shouldest take Hisplea.sure at
him ? or what is a corruptible generation, that t'lou shouldest
be so bitter toward it ?
35 ' For in truth there is no man among them that be born,
but he hath dealt wickedly ; and among the faithful there is
none which hath not done amiss.
3r» For in this, () Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness
shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not
the II confidence of good works.
37 Then answered he me, and said. Some things hast thou •"»"■""•
spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be.
38 For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them which
have sinned before death, before judgment^ before destruction ;
39 l?ut •* I will rejoice over the disposition of the righteous, joeo.^,*
and I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the .salvation,
and the reward, that they shall have.
40 Like as Lhave spoken now, so shall it come to pass.
41 For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the
ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown
good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is plant-
ed take root : even so is it of them that are sown in the w orld ;
they shall not all be saved.
42 1 answered then and said, If I have found graccj let me speak.
43 Like as tlie husbandman's seed perislieth, it] it come not
up, and receive not thy rain in due season : or if there come
too much rain, and corrupt it :
44 Even so perisheth man also, which is formed with thy
hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art like un-

•J But that which keep^tli and is kept shall both be preserved :
and when the time cometh, the womb preserved delivereth up
the things that grew in it.
10 For thou liast commimded out of the parts of the body,
that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the
fruit of the breasts.
1 1 That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for
a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy.
12 Thou broughtest it up with thy righteousness, and nur-
turedst it in thy law. and reformedst it with thy judgment.
13 And thou shalt mortify it as thy creature, anil quicken it ^

14 If therefore thou shalt destroy him which with so great ' ' him unto the husbandman's seed

served.

10. 6 '' Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings

7 And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to es-
cape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed,
8 Shall be ' preserved from the said perils, and shall see my
salvation in my huul, and within my borders : for I have sanc-
tified tliem fer me from the beginning.
9 Then i| shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused
my ways : and they that have cast them away despitefully
shall dwell ' in torments.
10 For such as in their life have received benefits, and have
not known me ;
11 And they that have loathed my law, while they had yet
liberty, and when as yet place of repentance was open unto
them, understood not, but despised it :
12 ' The same must know it after death by pain.
13 And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall
be punished, and when : '' but inquire how the righteous shall

35 That thing also which was sown, or cast therein, orreceiv-

not happened so.
3(j For we that have received the law ' perish by sin, and

and behold, she mourned and wept with a loud voice and was
much g, ieved in heart, and her clothes were rent, and she had
ashes upon her head.
39 Then let I ray thoughts go that I was in, and turned me
unto her,
40 And said unto her, " Wherefore weepest thou ? why art J,,® J'J •'"''"
thou so grieved in thy mind ?
41 And she said unto me. Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail
myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in ray
mind, and brought very low.
42 And I said unto her. What aileth thee f tell me.
43 She said unto me. I thy servant have been barren, and
had no child, though I iiad a husband thirty years.

reprove tile people which are present : but llay that shall be
burn allriward, ' wliosliiill adiiionisli tlniii ? thus the world
is set ill darkness, and they that dwell therein are without

21 Forlliy lawis burnt, therefore no man knoweth the things
that are .Icuie of ihie, <,r llie works tliiil shall begin.
22 Hut if I have fidiiid "i ace before thee, '" .send the Holy
(iiic)st into me, and F shall write all that hath been done hi the
world since the beginning, which were written in thy law, that
men may lliid thy iiatli, and that they which will live in the
latter days may live.
23 And he answered me, saying, (Jo thy way, gather the
people tog(!tlier, and say unto them, that they seek thee not
" for forty days.
24 Ihit look thou prepare thee many || box-trees, and lake
>yilh thee Sarea, Dabria Selemia, || Ecamis, and Asiel, these

25 And " coMie hither, anti I shall light a crndle of under-
standing in thy heart, which shall not be put out, till the things
be performed which thou shall begin to write.
2(i And when thou hast done, some things shall thou publish,
and some things shall thou shew secretly to the wise : to-mor-
row this hour shall liinii begin r to write.
27 Then went I forth a.s he commanded, and gathered all
the peojile together, and said,
28 Jlt?ar these words, i () Israel.
2y ' Our fathers at the beginning were strangers in Egypt,
from whence they were delivereil :
30 • And received the law of life, which they kept not, which
ye als<) have transgressed after them.
31 Then was the land, even the land of Sion, ' parted among
you by lot : but your fathers, and ye yourselves, have done un-
righteousness, and have not kept the ways which the Highest
commanded you.
32 And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from
you in time the thing that he had given you.
33 Anil now "are yn here and your brethren among you.
3-1 Therefore if so be tliiit ye will subdue your own under-
standing, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive, and
after dt^ath ye shall ' obtain mercy.
35 For after death siial! the jiKlgment come, when we shall
live again : and then shall liie names of the righteous be mani-
fest, anrl the works of the ungodly shall be declared.
3(i F^et no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek after
me these ' forty days.
37 .So I took ' llie Ave men, as he commanded me, and we '
went into the lield, and remained there.
38 And the next day, liehold, a voice called me, saying, Es-
dras, « opi'ii thy inoutli, and drink that I gi\ e thee to drJiik.
3y 'I'lieii olii'iied I my iiuuith, and behold, he reached iiic a
full cup, wiiicli was full as it were with water, but the colour of
il was like fire.
40 And I took it. and drank : and wiuii I had drunk of it,
my liea't uttered imtlerstanding, and wisdom grew in my breast,
for my sjiirit strengthened my nit inory :
41 And my 'mouth was opened, and shut no more.
42 'V\w Highest gave underst.indiug unto ilie five men,'' and
they wrote the wonderful visions e,f the night that were told,
which they knew not ; and tiiey sat ' forty iliiys, and they wrote
in liie day, and at night they ate bread.
43 As for me, I spake in the day, " and I held not my tongue
by night.
44 In forty days they wrote H two hundred and four
books.
45 And it came to pass, when the forty (lay.s were fiiUilled,
that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written

we will celebrate the marriage : for I know that Raguel cannot
marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall
be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather
, appertain to thee than to any other.

who all died in the marriage chamber.

camels, and go to ' Rages of Media, to Gabael, and bring me
the money, and bring him to the wedding.
3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.

will be very sorry.
5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with " Gabael, and gave
him the hand-writing : v^lio brought forth bags which were

2 IJehold, we the servants of ?,'abucliodonosor ' the great nchap.2,s
3 Til .n they decreed to destroy
the comnumdment of his mouth.
4 And when he had ended his counsel, Nabucliodonosor
king of the .\ssyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his
army, which was 1 next unto him, and said unto him,
5 Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth,
IJehold, thou shall go forth from my presencs', and take with
thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen a hundred i
and twenty thoiisiind ; and the number of horses ,t ith their J

(i .Vnd thou shall go against all the west country, because they
disobeyed my commaiulment.
7 Anil thou shall declare unto them, that ihoy prepare for

them, iind will cover the whole lace of the eiuih with the feel \
of mine army, and 1 will give tliiMii for a sjioil unto llieiii :

the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overtlow :
I) And ' I will lead them captives to the uimost parts of all

all flesh that did not obey ] king lie before thee ; use us as shall be good in thy sight.
\ S Behold, our houses, anil all our places, 'and all our funds
of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents,
lie before thy face ; use them as il pleaseth thee.
4 Celiohl, even our cities and the inhabitants thereof are thy
strvants ; come and lieal with them as s''einetli goial unto thee.
5 So llie men came to ' lloloferms, and deciaretl unto him
after this manner.
(i Then came he down toward the sea-coast, both he and his
army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them
chosen men for aid.
7 So they and all the country round about recoiveil ihciu
with ' garlands, w ilh ' dances, and with tiniliiels.
8 Yet he did cast down their frontiers, ami cut down their
groves : for he had (lecreed to destroy all the gods of the laud,
that all nations should worship Nabucliodonosor only, and that
all tongues and tribes should call upon him as goil.

THE next day IlolotVrnes commanded all his army, and all
his people which were come to take his part, tliat they
should remove their camp against" Bethulia, to take aforehand
the ascents of the hill-country, and to make war against the
children of Israel.
2 Then their strong men removed their camps in that day,
and the army of the men of war was 'a hundred and seventy

their women ' and young men fainted for thirst, and fell down
in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, aii(
there was no longer any strength in them.
23 Then all the people assemWed to " Ozias, and to the chief u cu.fi, la.
of the city, both young men, and' women, and children, and cried
with a loud voice, and said before all the elders,

3 And they camped in the valley near unto Bethulia, ' by
the fountain, and they spread themselves in breadth || over
Dothaim even to Uelinaim, and in length from Bethulia unto

27 For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than

7 And viewed ' the passages up to the city, and came to ?
' the fountains of their waters, and took them, and set garri- I

8 Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, i

7 Then Holiifernes commanded his guard that they should )
not stay her ; thus she abode in the cam)) tlirei? days, and went i
f ch. 13, 10. out in the night into ' the valley of lietliulia, and washed her- j
self ill a fountain of water by the camj). 5
8 And when she came out, she besought the Lord (iod of Is- 5
raeltodirect her way to the raising iipoftliechihlren of iier people. \
[) .So she came in clean, and riMnained in the tent, until slu' j
did eat her meat at evening.
10 And in the fourth day llolofernes made a feast to " his
own servants only, and called none of the olficers to the banquet.
I I Then said he to Bagoas tin' eunuch, who had charge over
all tliat he had, (io now, and iiersiiade this '■ Hebrew woman
wiiicli is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink
with IIS.
I '2 For lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let
' such a woman go, not having had her company ; for if we
draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.
13 Then went llagoas from the presence of llolofernes, and
( ametoher, and he said, '' Let not this fair damsel fear to come to
my lord, and lobe honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and
be merry with us, and be made this day as one of thedaugiiters
of the .\ssyrians, ' which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.
14 Then said Judith unto him, '" Who am I now, that I should
gainsay my lord ? surely whatsoever pleascth him I will do
speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.
l.*) So she arose, " and decked herself with her apparel, and
all her women's attire, and her maid went and hiid soft skins on
the ground for her over against llolofernes, which she had re-
ceived of" Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat
upon them.
iCNow when Judith came in and sat down, llolofernes'
heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he
desired greatly her company ; for he waiti'd a time to deceive
lier, from the day that he had seen her.
17 Then said llolofernes unto her, Drink now, 'and be
merry with us.
IH So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my
life is magiiilled in me this day more than all the days since I
was born.
19 Then she took and ate and drank before him what '' her
maid had prepared.

made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they call-
ed ' the elders of the cily.
13 And they ran all together, both small and great, for it was
strange unto them that she was come : .so they opened the gate,
and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round
about llieiii.

" by the hand of a woman.
IC As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in iiiy way tlut I
went, my countenance hath " deceived him to his destruction,
and yet hath he not committed sin with me, 'to defile and
shame me.
17 Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and
bowed themselves, anil worshipped (iod, and said with one
accord, Blessed be thou, () our God. which hast this day brought
to nought the enemies of thy people.

12 Hut when tli" Assyrians saw them, they sent to" their
leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every

13 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to ' him that
had the charKe of all his things, Waken now our lord : for the
slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, "' that
they may be utterly destroyed.
14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the
tent ; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.
1 5 But because none answered, ' he opened it, and went into
the bed<hamber, and found him cast upon the tioor dead, " and
his head was taken from him.
16 II Therefore lie cried with a loud voice, with weeping,
and sighing, and a mighty cry, " and rent his- garments.
17 After, he went into the tent when- Judith lodged : and
when he found her not, he leaned out to the fH'ople, and cried,
ISP These slaves have dealt treacherously j one woman of
the llebiews hath brought shame upon the lujuse of king Nab-
uchodonosor : for behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground
without a head.
ly When ' the captains of the Assyrians' army heard these

8 For ' she put oil' the garment of her widowhood for the ex-
idtatioii of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed
her face wi«h ointment, and bound her hair in a + tire, and took

THEN Mardocheus said, ' Cod hath done these things.
5 For 1 remember a dream wliidi I saw concerning
these matters, and nothing thereof hath failed.
() '■ A little fountiiin became a river, and ihei ■> was light, and
the sun, and much water : this river is Esther, whom the king
married, and made queen.
7 And the two dragons are I and Aman.
8 And the nations were those that were assembled to destroy
the name of the Jews : ,^ , ,
9 And my nation is this Israel, which cried to God, ' and
were saved : for the Lord hath saved bis people, and the Lord
hath delivered us from all those evils, ' and God hath wrought
signs and great wonders, which have not been done among the
Gentiles.
10 Therefore hath he made ' two lots, one for the people o!
God, and another for all the Gentiles.
1 1 And these two lots came at the hour, and time, and day
of judgment, before God among all nations.
12 So God remembered his people, and justified his inheri-
tance.
1 3 Therefore those days shall be unto them in ' the month
Adar, the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the same month, with
an assembly, and joy, and with gladness before God, accord-
ing to the generations for ever among his people.
CHAPTER XL
S The stock and (lualitv of Manlocheus 6 lie dreameth of two dragons coming forth
to fight, niid of a little fountain which hecame n great water.
IN the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemeus and (Ueopalra,
Dositheus, who said he was a priest and Levite, and Ptole- ;;
meus his son, brought this epistle of Phurim, which they said
was the same, and that Lysimachiis the son of Ptolemeus, that
was in Jerusalem, had interpreted it.
2 In the second year of the reign of* Artaxerxes the great,
in the first day of the month Nisan, ' Mardocheus the son of
Jairus, the son of Semel, the sun of Cisai of the tribe of Benja-
min, ' had a dream ;
3 Who was a Jew, and dwelt in the city of Susa, a great man,
being a servitor in the king's court.
4 He was also one of the captives, which Nabuchodonosor
the king of Babyhm carried from Jerusalem with Jechonias
king of Judea ; and this was his dream.
5 Behold, a noise of a tumult, with thunder, and earthquakes,
and uproar in the land :
6 And behold,'' two great dragons came forth ready to fight,
and their cry was great.
7 And at their cry all nations were prepared to battle, that
they might fight against ' the righteous people.
8 And lo, a day of darkness and obscurity, tribulation and
anguish, affliction and great uproar, upon the earth

ND Mardocheus took his rest in the court ' with Gabatha
and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king, and keepers of
the palace
2 ' And he heard their devices, and searched out their pur-
poses, ami learned that tiiey were about to lay haiiils upon Ar-
taxerxes the king ; and so he certified the king of them.
3 Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after that
they had confessed it,' they were strangled.
4 And the king made a record of these things, and Mardo-
cheus also wrote thereof.
5 So the king commanded Mardocheus to serve in the court, uohnvs.
'' and for this he rewarded him.

rjIHE copy of the letters was this : The great king Artax-

that are under him from ' Intlia unto Ethiopia, in a hundred »Esth. i,i.
and seven and twenty provinces.
2 After that I became lord '' over many nations, and had do- b EtUkR,*.

mildness, 1 purposed to settle my subjects continually in a quiet
life, and making my kingdom || peaceable, and open for pas- ilOr,«iU<i.

all men.
3 Now when I asked my counsellors how this might be
brought to pass, ' Aman, that excelled in wisdom among us, and l^k^^ '•
was approved for his constant good will and steadfast fidelity,
■■ and had the honour of the second place in the kingdom,
4 Declared unto us, that in all nations throughout the world
there was acattered ' a certain malicious people, that had laws
contrary to all nations, and continually despised the command-

intended by us, cannot || go forward.
5 Seeing then we understand that this people alone is con-
tinually in opposition unto all men, diflering in the strange man-
ner of their laws, and evil-affected to our state, ' working all "
the mischief they can, that our kingdom may not be firmly es-
tablished :

5 To whom God •liewclh himself, and wisdom lier>ell'.....ti An evil speaker i-nnnot lie
tiiti 12 We procure our own deslruciioii : for OihI cri-Hi(tl not death.
LOVE " righteousness, ye thiit be judges of the earth : think
of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity ol heart
seek him.
2 For he will be found of them '' that tempt him not ; iuul
sheweth himself unto such as do not ' distrust him. .
3 ^^)r froward thoughts separate from God : and his power,
when it is tried, || reproveth the unwise.
4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter ; nor
dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.
5 '' For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and re- ■.
move from thouglits that are without understanding, and || will :
not iibide when unrighteousness cometh in.
6 For wisdom is a' loving spirit ; and will not acquit a blas-
phemer of his II words ; for God is witness of his reins, and a
true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world : and that which
II containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice.
8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things ' cannot be
hid : neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.
9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the un-
godly : and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord
for the II manifestation of his wicked deeds.
10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things : and the noise
of murmurings is not hid.
1 1 Therefore beware of ^ murmuring, which is unprofitable ;
and refrain your tongue from backbitinj' : lor there is no word
so secret, that shall go for nought : and the mouth that ;| belieth,
slayeth the soul.
i2 Seek not death in the error of your life : and pull not
upon yourselves '■ destruction with the works of your hands.
13 For God made not death : ' neither hath he pleasure in
the destruction of the living.
5 I For our lime is a very shadow that passeth away ; and
after our end there is no returning : for || it is fast sealed, so
that no man cometh again.
(> Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good thi.gs • that are
inesciit : and let us i| speedily use the creatures likt as in youth

our infamy the transgressions of our education.
13 ' He professeth to have the knowledge of God : and he
calleth himself the child of the Lord.
11 He was made to ' reprove our thoughts.
l.'i "' He is grievous unto us even to behold : for his life is
not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion.
1() We are esteemed of him as j] v,ounterfeits : he abstaiiieth

ed aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the couiisi'l of (iod ;
,'j ' Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you : for a
sharp jiidgiiieiit shall he to them that lie in high places.
() Tor mercy will soon pardon the meanest ; but mighty men
shall lie mightily tormented.
7 For he which is Lord overall shall fear no ' man's person,
neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness : for he
liuth made the small and great, and cantli I'ur all alike.
8 But a sore trial shall come upon the miglity.
!) Unto you therefore, ' () kings, do I speak, that ye may
learn wisdom, and not fall away :
10 For they that keep holiness holily, ' shall be || judged i
holy : and they that have learned such things shall find \\ what |
to answer. |
1 1 Wherefore set your afTectici upon my words ; desire j
them, and ye shall be instructed. I
12 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away : yea, she is {
easily seen of them that love li'-r, '' and found of such as seek her. 5
ly She preveiiielli thein tli,it desire her, in making herself |
first known unto tliein. \
14 Whoso seeketli her ' early shall have no great travail : *
for he shall find her sittinr at his doors. {
15 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom : 5
and whoso watchetli for her shall (piickly be without care.
If) For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her,
slieweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meet-
eth them in every thought.
17 For the very true beginning of her is the desire of ]| dis-
cipline ; and the care of discipline is love :
18 ' And love is the keeping of her laws ; and the giving
heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption ;
19 And incorruption maketli us near unto (Jod :
20 Therefore ' the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.
2 1 If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings
of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.
22 As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, '" I
•"■"'*■ will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you : but will
seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the
knowledge of her into light, and will not [lass over the truth.
23 Neither will I eo witti consuming envy ; for such a man
shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
ti iM. 6, 13. 24 But " the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world :
and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

shall do you good.

I called upon God. and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
5 I jneferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed
riches nothing in comparison of her.

2 Thcrel'ore ' chasteneth thou them by little and little that

wherein they have oflended, that leaving their wickedness they
may believe on thee, () Lord.
3 For it was toy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers
both tlio.se li old inhabitants of thy holy land,
4 Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of ]| witch-
crafts, and wicked sacrifices ;
5 And also tho.se ■■ merciless murderers of children, and de-
votirers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood,
6 With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew,
and the parents that killed with their own hands souls destitute
of help :
7 That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other,
might receive a wortnv || coltmy of (iod's children.
8 Nevertheless, even those thou sparedst as men, and didst
send ' wasps, forerunners of thy host, to destroy thern by little
and htlle.
9 "■' Not that thou wast unable to bringthe ungodly under the
hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with
cruel beasts, or with one rough word :
10 l?ut executing thy judgments upon them by little, and
little, ' thou ga vest thein place of repentance, not being ignorant
that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was
bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.
I I F'or it was a « cursed seed from the beginning ; neither
didst thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things
wherein they sinned.
12 For who shall say, ' What hast thou done r or who shall
vyithstand thy judgment ? or who shall accuse thee for the na-
tions that perish, whom thou hast made ? or who shall come to
stand il against thee, to be || revenged for the unrighteous
men ?
1 3 For neither is there any God but thou that • careth for all, i
to whom thou niightest show that thy judgment is not unright.
14 ' Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his lace

acknowledge the work-master ;
2 ' lint deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the

for the first author of beauty hath created iheni.

them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made
them.
5 For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures, propor-

igently, and believe their sight : because the things are beauti-
ful that are seen.
8 Howbeit, « neither are they to be pardoned.

aim at the world ; how did they not sooner find out the Lord
thereof ?

AG.\IN, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass
through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood,
more rotten than the || vessel tliat carrieth iiini.
2 For verily ilesire of gain devised || that, and the workman
built it by his skill.
.'i Ihit thy providence, O Fatlier, governeth it : for thou hast
«i:x.ii,22. «nia(le a way in the sea, and a s'lij path in the wiives ;
4 !*liewingtliat thou < anst save from all danger : '• yea, though
a man went to sea without art.
C) Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wis-
dom should be idle, and theicfore do men commit their lives to
a small piece of wood, and passing tl>j rough st^a in a weak
vessel are saved.
G ' For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished,
the hojie of the world, governed y thy hand, " escaped in a
weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.
7 For blessed is the wood w hereby righteousness coinoth.
8 Jhit ' that which is made with hands is curseil, as well it,
as he that made it : he, because he made it ; and it, because
being corruptible, it was called God.
y ' For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hate-
ful unto God.
U) tor * that which is made shall be punished together with
him that made it.
11 Therefore even || upon the idols of the Gentiles shall
there he a visitation : because in the creature of God they are
become an abomination, and '' t stumbling-blocks to the souls
of men, and a || snaie to the feet of the unwise.
12 For the devising of idols was the beginning o( spiritual
fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
13 For neither were they from ' the beginning, neither shall
they be for ever.
14 For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world,
and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
IT) For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he
hath made i" an image of his child soon taken away, now hon-
oured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered
to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
ifi Thus T in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong
iDaii. 6,a ,vas j^ppt 3s a law, ' and graven images were worshipped by
the commandments of ij kings.
17 Whom men could not honour || in presence, because they
dwell tar oil', they took the counterfeit of his visage I'rom f;ir,
and made an express image of a king '" whom they honoured,
to the end that by this tlieir forwardness they might Hatter him
that was absent, as if he were present.
I 8 Also the singular diligence of" the artificer did help to set
forward the ignorant to more superstition.
ly For he, peradventure, willing to [ilease one in authority,
forced all his skill to make the resemblance t of the best fashion. .
20 Andsothe multitude, allured by the grace oftlie work, took 5 1
him lor a god, which a little before was but honoured as a man.
2 1 And this was an occasion to leceive the world : for men,
serving eitlier calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones anil
stocks t'le incoiumiinicable ,1 name.
22 Moreover, this was not enough for them, that t''ey erred
in the knowledge of God : hut whereas they lived in tlie great
war of ignorance, those so great plagues cailcd they peace.
23 For whilst they '' slew their children in sacrifices, or used
secret ('crenioiiies, or made revelling'' of stranire rites ;
24 They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer nnde- ;
filed : but either one slew another traitorously, or grieved him
bj adultery.
Iiolli because they tliDuglit not well of (iod, i| giving heed unto
: idols, and also unjiisliy swtire in deceit, ' despising holiness.

BITTmIiou, O (iod, art gracious and true, long-suflTering,
and in mercy ordering all things.
2 For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power : 'but we
will not sin, know iiig that we are ' counted thine.
3 For to know thee is [Kifect righteousness : yea, to know
thy ptjwer is the root of immortality.
4 For neiiiier did the mischievous invention of men deceive
us, nor an image spotted wuh divers colours, the painter's fruit-
less labour ;
C) The sight whereof J| enticeth fools to lust after it, and so
they desired the form of a dead image, that hath no breath.
() Botii they that niiike iheiii, they that desire them, and they
that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to
have such things to trust upon.
7 For the '' potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every 21!
vessel with much labour for our service : yea, of the same clay ^ j.^.,,, ^
he maketh ' both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and like- ao. ""' '
wise also all such as serve to the contrary : but what is the use
of either sort, the poller himself is the judge.
8 And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god .
of the same clay, even he ' which a little before was made of [I
earth himself, and within a little while after relurnetli to the
same, out of the which he was taken, when his e life which was io '^

his life of less value than clay :
1 1 Forasmuch, as he knew not his Maker, and hiin that in-
spired into him an active soul, ' and breathed in a living spirit.
12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our || time here
a market for gain : for, say they, we must be getting every
way, though it be by evil means.
13 II For this man, that of earthly matter maketh '' brittle ves-
sels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all ^""'o''-
others.
1 4 And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjec-
tion, are most foolish, and arc more miserable than very babes.

which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw

16 ■" For the ungodly, that denied to know tliee, were
scourged liv the strength of thine arm : with strange rams,
hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not
avoid ; and through lire were they consumed.
17 For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more
force in the water, that quencheth all things : for the worUl
° fighteth for the righteous. _ .
18 For some time the flame was mitigated, that it might
0,1, 11 17 not burn up " the beasts that were sent against the ungodly ;
»8. ■ ' ' but themselves might see and perceive that they were perse-

21 For thy 1 || sustenance declaring thy sweetness unto thy
children, and serving to the appetite of the eater i| tempered
itself to every man's liking.
22 ' But snow and ice endured the fire, and meh d not, that

.OiNo power of the (ire might give them light: neither could the rtj„ci2,m.
bright llaiiies of the stars eiulme to lighten that horrible night.
(i Only there appeared unlo them a lire kindled of ilself, very
dreadful : for being much terrified, they thought the thiie^s
whidi they saw to lie worse than the sight they saw not.
•^^ As ior the illusions of art magic, they were Pi't il^wn, j^K«-iOi
their vaunting in wisdom was reproved willi disgrace. ,9. ' '
8 For they that promised to ilrive away terrors and troubles
from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be
laughed at. .
') I'or though no t< rrilile thing did tear them , yet being
scared ' witli beasts that passetl by, and hissing of serpents,
10 They died for fear, || denying that they saw the air, which
could of no side be avoided.
1 1 For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, ^ is very
timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always lorecast-
eth grievous things.
12 For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours
which reason olVereth.
13 And the e.xpectation from within, being less, countelli the
ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment.
14 But they sleeping the same sleep that night, || which was j™';;;;]^,
indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out ol the hot- d«notk,ng.
toms of inevitable hell, ,, ,,„, g.
1 :> Were partly vexed with •• monstrous apparitions, and part-
ly fainted, ' their heart failing them : for a sudden fear, and not y-"""*''
looked for, came upon them.
16 So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, shut
up in a prison without iron bars.
17 For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a
labourer in the || field, he was overtaken, and endured that ne- u or,A»r».
cessity, which could not be avoided : for they were all bound
with ' one chain of darkness. . karna,*.
18 Whether it were a whistlirg wind, or a melodious noise
of birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing fall of
water running violently, . n or,
19 Or a II terrible sound of stones cast down, or a rutining K,diom.
that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of , ^^^^ ^
' moat savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hoi- ^^^^
low mountains ; "' these tilings made them to swoon for fear. „, «, «; 10,
20 For the whole world sliined with clear light, and none is-
were hindered in their labour :
21 Over them only was spread » a heavy night, an image of
that darkness which should afterward receive them : but yet
were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.

1 4 An<i ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you,
to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts
and solemn days.
i .' .\iid ye shall say, « To the I^ord our God hdongcth t\^\\i-

this day, unto them of Juda, andtoihe inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Ifi And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests,
and to our prophets, and to our fathers :
17 For we have '■ sinned before the Lord,
IS And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the
voice of the Lord our ( Jod, to walk in the commandments that
he gave us openly ;
1<) ' Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out
of the land of Kgypt, unto this present day, we have been dis-
■ibedient unto the" Lord our (Jod, and we have been negligent
in not hearing his voice.
20 'Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which
the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he
brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land
that lloweth with milk and honey, like ius it in toner this day.
21 Nevertheless we have ' not hearkened unto the voice of
the i^ord our (jod, according unto all the words of the prophets,
whom he sent unto us :
22 But every man followed the imagination of his own wick-
ed heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the
Lord our (Jod.

rpJIKREFORE the Lord hath " iiuwle good his word, which
X he pronounced against us, and against our judges thiit
judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes,
ami against the men of Israel and Juda,
2 To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened
under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, accor-
ding to the things that were written in the law of Moses ;
3 That a man should ' eat the iKsh of hii own son, and the
flesh of his own daughter.
4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be ' in subjection ti>
all the kingdoms that arc round about us, to he as ■> a reproach
and desolation among all the jieojile round about, where the
Lord hath scattered tlieni.
:") Thus we t were cast down, and not exalted, because wt;
have sinned against tJie Lord our God, and have not been obedi-
ent unto his voice.
(i = To the Lord our God tippertninvth righteousness : but
unto us and to our fathers open shame, lus appcnrvlh this day.
7 For all these plagues are come upon us, ' which the Lord
hath pronounced against us.
8 5 Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might
turn every one from the imagitiatioiis of his wicked heart.

thou didst command him to write thy law before the children of

8 Wherefor* all that thou hast brought upon us, and every
thing that thou hast done to us, ' thou hast done in true iudgment.
<; And thou uidst deliver us into the hands of lawk'ss ' ene-
mies, most hateful forsakers of Ood, and to an unjust king, and
the most wicked in all the world.
10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become a
shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship
tiiec.
1 1 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, ' nei-
n9.33, tlier disannul thou thy covenant :
12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy be-
loved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Isaac's sake and for thy
holy Israel's sake ;
J 3 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou
wouldest multiply their seed '' as the stars of heaven, and as
tile sand that lieth upon the sea-shore.
14 For we, O Lord, are liecome less than any nation, and
be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.
15 Neither is there at this ,ime prince, or prophet, or leader,
or burnt-oifering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place
to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy.
1 G Nevertheless in a ' contrite heart and a humble spirit let
iri.si.ir us be accepted. . „ ,
17 Like as in the burnt-ofterings of rams and bullocks, and
like as in ten thousands of fat lambs : so let our sacrifice be in
thy sight this day, and ^ran* that we may wholly go after thee :
' for tliey shall not be confounded that put their trust i-- thee.
18 And now we follow thee with all bur heart, we fear thee,
and seek thy face.
ly Put us not to shame : but deal with us after thy loving-
kindness, and according to the ' muhitudeof thy mercies.
20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and
give glory to thy name, O Lord : and let all them that do thy
servants hurt be ashame(i ;
21 And let them be confounded || in all their power and
I (If, fcy ihy might, and let their strength be broken ;
j|,™r a«d ^22 And let them know that thou art Lord, the only God, and
glorious '" over the whole world.
23 And the kings'? servants, that put thein in, ceased not to
make the oven hot with || ros'n, phch, tow, and sir nil wood ;
24 .So that the flame streamed forth above th^ furnace forty
and nine cubits.
25 And it passed through, and ° burned those Chaldeans it J
found about the furnace.
26 But the angel of the Lord came down info the oven to-
gether with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the
nre out of the oven ;
27 And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a || moist
whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither
hurt nor troubled them.
28 Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified,
and blessed God in the furnace, saying,
29 ° Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers : and to be
praised and exalted above all for ever.
30 And ' blessed is thy glorious and holy name : and to be

3y And when we saw them together, the man we could not "■ '" *'
hold : (or he was stronger than we, and opened the door, and
leaped out.
40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young , ,. -, „
man was, but she would not tell us : ' these things do we testify. '
41 I hen the assembly believed them, as those that were the
elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to
death.
42 Then Susanna ' cried out with a loud voice, and said, O trt.K)fift
everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all
things before they be :
43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against
me, and behold, I must die ; whereas I never did such thi
as these men have maliciously invented against me.
44 And the ' Lord heard her voice.
45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord
rar.Jui^ the holy spirit of a young youth, whose name was
Daniel :
46 Who cried with a loud voice, " I am clear from the blood u M>i. «,
of this woman. '■>*■
47 Then all the people turned them toward him, and said,

7 Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went
into her husband's garden to walk.
8 And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walk-
ing ; '' so that their lust was inflamed toward her.
9 And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their
eyes, that they might not look unto heavn, nor remember just
judgments.
10 And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet ;
durst not one shew another his grief.
11 For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they de-
sired to have to do with her.
12 Yet ihey watched diligently from day to day to see her.
1 3 And the one said to the other, Let us now go home : for
it is dinner-time.

Lord my God : for he is the living Goil.
26 But give me leaye, O king, and I shall slay ibis dragon,

27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe

2 And Daniel || conversed with the king, and was honou.-ed
above all his friends.
3 Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there
were spent upon him every day twelve measures of fine Hour,
and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine.
4 And ihe king worshipped it, and went daily to adore it :
' but Daniel worsnipped his own God. And the king said unlo
liiin. Why dost not thou worship Bel ? , . , ,
:) Who answered and said. Because I may not worship idols
made with hands, but the living God, ' who hath cr-ated tlie
heaven and the earth, and hath so' ''gnty over all tlesh.
6 Then said the king unlo him, 1 iiiiikest thou not that Lel
is a living god ? seest thou not how much he eateth and dnnk-
elli every day ? , . ,
7 Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived :
for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never '' eat
or drink any thing.
8 So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said
unto iheni. If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth ' these
expenses, ye shall die.
y But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then
Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel.
And Daniel said unto the king. Let it be a'ccording to thy word.
10 Now the priests of lie! were threescore and ten, be.sides
their wives and children. And the king went with Dair.el into ^ , , .

battles, protecting the host with his sword.

burnt up those that ve.xed his people.
6 Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all tlie
workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation ■' prospered
in his haid.

2S He opened also his treasure, and gave nis soldiers pay
for a year, commanding them to be ready 1 whensoever he
should need them.
2!) Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treas-
ures failed, and t that the tributes in the country were small, be-
cause of the dissension and plague wliidi he hati brought upon
the land, |! in taking away the luws which had been of old time ;
30 He feared t that he should not be able to bear the charges
any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so lilierally a.s he did
before: for he ha<l abounded abovelhe kings that were liefore him.

termined to go into Persia, tliere to take the tributes of the

to oversee the aft'airs of the king from " the river Euphrates unto
the borders of Egy])t :

10 Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a
great host out of Samaria, to fight against Israel.
1 1 Which thing whon Judas perceived, he went forth to meet
him, and so he smote him, and slew hiin : many also fell down
slain, bet the rest fled.
12 Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apo'lonius' sword
also, and therewith ho fought all his life long.
13 Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard
say that Judas had gathered unto him a ' multitude and com-
pany of the faithful to go out with him to war;
14 He saidj I will get me a name and honoiu- in the kingdom ; | ment to destroy the people, and utterly

them, took silver and gold very niiich, with || servants, and jilit™.
came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves : a .,
power also of Syria and of the land ||of the Philistines joined ,irangirt

24 After this they went home, and sung a song of thanks-
giving, and praised the Lord in heaven : because it is good,
because his mercy rndun-th for ever.
2,j Thus Israel had a great deliveriiiice that day.
2(j .Now all the siiaiijjers tliiit had escaped came and told
Lysias what liad haiiprncd :
•J7 Who, when h'' hiard thereol. was confounded and dis-
couraged, because m'ilher such tilings as he would were done
imlo Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were
eoiiu' to pass.
25 The next year therefore following, I, ysias gathered to-
gether threescore thousafid choice men of fool, anri five thou-
sand horsemen, that he miffht subdue them.
L'<) .So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at
IJelhsura, aiiil Judas met them with ten thousand men.
30 .\iul when he saw that mighty army, he prayed, and said,

";f'i Now when Lysias saw his army put lo flight, and the
m.inliness of Judas' sohliers, and how tliey were ready either
to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered
together a company of strangers, and having made \\\.i army
greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.

53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new
altar of burnt-offering!', which they had made.
54 I.ook, at what time and what day the heathen had pro-
faned It, e\en in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns
and harps, and cymbals.
."55 Then all the people fell upon their faces, worsiiipping and
praising the (iod of heaven, who had giv(!n lliom good success
5() And so they kept the dedication of tiie altar eight days,
and oflered biirnt-oinTings with glailness, and sacriiiced the sac-
rihce ol Jl deliverance and [iraise.
57 They deckeil also the fore-front of the temple with
crowns ol gold, and with shields ; and the gates and the cham-
bers they II renewed, and || lunged doors upon them.
58 Thus was there very great gladi-e.vs among the people, ;
for that the reproach of the heathen was put away. I
5<) Moreover, .fudas and his brethren with the whole conn-ie- ''
gation ol Israel ordained, that the days of (lie dedicalion onhe |
altar should be kept in their season tiom year to year by the
spac" ol eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the
month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.
60 At that time also they builded up tiie mount .Sion with
high walls and strong towers round about, lest tin; (ientiles
should come and tread it down, as they had done before.
61 And they set there a garri.son to keep it, unj fortified
Bethsura to preserve it j that the people might have a defence

in the coimtry of dalaad. from the least unto the greatest, even
their wives, and their children, and their stall", a very great host,
to the end ihi'y mi),'ht come into the land of Judeu.
M\ iXow when they came unto Kphron,(this was a ^'reat city
in the way as they should go, very well Ibililieti) they coulil not
turn irom it. either on the right hand or the left, but must needs
l)a.ss tiiroiign the midst of it.
47 'I'hen they of the city shut them out, and stoi)ped up the
gates with stones,
'18 Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peac-jablo manner,
saying. Let us |)ass through your land to go into oinowii cuuii- |
try, and none shall do ydu any hurt; we will oidy pass
through on foot : howbeit they would not open unto liiui.
49 Wherefore Judas contruanded a Dioclamatioii to Ix; im:> le
throughout the iiosi, that every num should pilch his tent in tlie
place where he was.
.'>() .So the soldiers pilclied, aiul assaulted the city r.ll tiiat day
and all thatnight,till at length the city wasdelivered into liisliands:
,')! Who then slew all the males with the edge of l!\e sv.oril,
and raised the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed
through the city over them that were slain.
.'•a After this went they over Jordan into the great plain
before Bethsan.
:>^ And Judas gathered together those that ]| came behinii,
and !l exhorted the people all the way through, till they came
into the land of Judea.
.'(4 So lliey went up to mount Sion wi<h joy and gladness,
where they otlered || liurnt-oll'erings, because not one of them
were slain until liiey had returned in peace.
.'iS Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in llie land
V/nriU'T' nl'^-'ulaad, and Simon his brother in (ialilee before I'tolemais,
'./.rAni! C)G Joseph the noii of /acharias, and A/.arias, captains of the
'^ '-■ garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deetis which
they had done.
:'>7 Wherefore they said. Let us also get us a name, and go
fight against the heathen that are rouiid about us.
.OS So when they had given charge unto the garrison that
was with them, they went toward Jamnia.
59 Then came (Jorgias and his men out of the city f to fight
against then.
()0 And so it was, that Joseph and Azarias were put to flight,
and pursued unto the borders of Judea : and there were slain
that day of the people of Israel about two thousand men.
(il Thus was there a great overthrow amoe.g the ciiildreii of
Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his bretli-
reUj but tiioiight to do some valiant art.
()2 Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, by
whose hand deliverance was giveti unto Israel.
(13 Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly re-
nowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wlien;-
soever their name \ras heard of;
6 1 Insomuch as the people assembled unto them with joyful
acclamations.
C)5 Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought
against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where
he smote Hebron, and the t towns thereof, aiiil pulled down the
fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.
()(j From thence he removed to go into tiie land oft tlie Phi-
listines, and passed througli Samaria,
67 At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour,
were slain in battle, for that they went out tofight unadvisedly.
68 So Judas turned to Azotus in the laiid of the Philistines,
and when he had pulled down tl.eir altar.^, and burned their
carved images with (ire, and spoiled their •:ities, he returned
into the land of Judea.

I Hose up iigainsi him in battle ; jo he lU'd, and departed
thence with great heaviness, and returned to Ibibylon.
.■■> Moreover (here came one who brotighl him tidings into
Persia, that the armiiNs, which went agaiusl the land of Judeu«
were put lo tlight :
<i Anil that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power,
was driven awiiy of the Jevis ; and that they were inaile stri.nc
by the iirmoiir, iinil power, ami store i f spoils, which they liaa
golten of the armies, whom they had destroyed :
7 .Mso that they had piillnl down the iiboniiliatioii, which he
had sit up upon the alliir in Jiriisaleiii, and tliat they had coiii-
[lassed alioiit the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his
city l!elhsura,
M Now when the king heard these words, he wits a.stimished
and .sore moved : whereupon he laid him down \\\m\\ his beik,
and fill sick for grief, because it had not beliiliin liiiii as he
looked tor.
\) .\iid there he continued many days ; for his grief was ever
more and more, and he made account that he should die.
1 \\ lierelore he c;i'!ed for all his frienils, and said unto iheni.
The sleep is gime from mine eyes, and my heart failelh for
very ca,e.
II And I thought will; myself. Into what tribulatiou am I
come, and how great a Hood ofmlvri/ is it, wherein now I am !
for 1 was bountiful and lieloved in my power.
1-! I'm now I remember the evils tliiit I did at Jerusalem,
and that I took all the vessels of gold and silverthat wercMlierein,
and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a ciiuse.
li I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles arc
come upon me, and behold, I [lerish through great grief in a
strange land.
11 Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, whom he
made ruler over all his realm,
15 And gave him the crown, and his rob ■, and his signet, to
tlie end i| he shiaild bring up his son Antioclius, and nourish
him up for the kingdom,
1() So king .\ntiochus died there in the hundred forty and '/?'i„«.*uj
ninth year. '» *""•
17 Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up
Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up, being . ^ang, to
reign in his stead, and his name he called Eiiputor,
1 8 About this time they ihat were in the tower shut up the
Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their
hurt, iiiid till! strengthening of the heathen,
1 9 Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all
till' pe(ii)le together to besiege them,
20 So ihey came together, and besieged them in the hundred "*
and lifiietli year, and he made mounts for shot against them,
and other engines,
21 Howbeit, certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto
'. whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themserves :
22 And they went unto the king, and said. How long will
it bi! ere thou e.xecute judgment, and avenge our brethii^n ?
2;3 We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he
would iiave us, and t > obey his commandments ;
21 For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and
are alienated from us : moreover, as many of us as they could
light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritiince.
25 Neitiier have they stretched out their hand against us only,
but also against all their borders.
2f) And behold, this day are ihey besieging the tower at Je-
rusalem, to take it : the sanctuary also and Jlethsura have they
fortified.
27 Wherefore, if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will
dogreater thingsthan these, neithershalt thou be able to rule them,

13 Moreover, how they had made for themselves a senate-

well ordered :
1(5 And that they committed their government to one man
every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were
obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emu-

17 In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupolemus
the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Elea-

46 Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words
they gave no credit unto tliein, nor received them, because tliev
remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel ; ^ for he
had afliicted them very sore.
47 But with Alexander (hey were well pleased, because he
was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and thev
were conlederate with him always. ^
48 Then gathered king Alexander great fortes, and camped
over against Demetrius. '
49 And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius'
host fled: but Alexander folWed after him, and ■= prevailed
against them.
50 And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went i
down : and that day was Demetrius slain.
51 Aftervyard Alexander sent •> ambassadors to Ptolemee kino-
ol Lgypt with a message to this effect : "
• ^u *'°'"'*s'""ch as I am come agam to my realm, and am set
m the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominio-i,
and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country •
53 For after I had joined battle with him, both >• ■ ,i 1 is
host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the th, ^ of his
Kingdom :
54 Now therefore let us make a league • of amity together
and give me now thy dau-hter to wife : and I will be thy son- J
in-law,, and will give both thee and her gifts accordinc to tliv
dignity, *" ■'
55 Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy be
the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy fathe-s
f vc«, 58. and sattest ' in the throne of their kingdom. '
56 And now will Ido (o thee, as (hou hast written : meet me
therefore at Ptolemais, that we may sec one another • for I
will marry my daughter to thee f according to thy desire.
57 So Ptoiemee went out of r^gyj)! witli his daughter Cle-
opatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred three-
score and second year :
58 Where king Alexander meeting him, gave unto him his
daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais
with great glory, '■ as the manner ofkings is.

should come and meet him.

38 Afler tliis, when king Demetrius saw that the land was
quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him,
he sent away all his forces, eveiy one to his own place, except
certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the
the cities by the sea unto Seleucia upon the sea-coast, imagin-
ed ' wicked counsels against Alexander.
9 Whereupon he sent ambassadors unto king Demetrius,
saying. Come, let us make a league betwixt us, and I will

to Demetrius, and forsook

ISTlien I'tolemee entered into Antiocli, where he set two
li cli. B, 1 L b crowns upon his liead, the crown of Asia, and of l^^gypt-
14 In the mean season was king Alexander in Cilicia,
because those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from
him.
15 But wlien Alexander heard of d^is, he came to war
against him : whereupon king Ptolemoe brouglit forth /i/.v
host, and met him with a mighty power, and put liiiu to flight.
10 So Alexander fled into ' Arabia, there to be defended ;
ioni. 1, 17. {,y( |^i„g Ptolemee was exalted :
17 For Ziabdiel the Arabian, took ofl" Alexander's head, and
sent it unto Ptolemee.
18 King Ftolemee also died the third day after, + and they ||
that were in the strong holds were slain one of another.
19 By this means Demetrius reigned in the imndred three'
score and seventh year.
20 At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that
were in Judea, to take the ' tower that was in Jerusalem : and
lie made many engines of war against it.
21 Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their own

hated him.
39 Moreover, there was one Tryphon. that had been of .Al-
exander's part afore, who, seeing that all the host nuumured
against Demetrius, went to Simiilciie the Arabian, that brought
up Antiochus the young son of .Alexander,
40 And lay sore upon him to deliver him this younff Anti-
ochus, that he might reign in his father's stead : he told him ^^ j^
llieiefore all tiiat Demetrius had done, and " how his men of"* **
war were at enmity with him ; and there he remained a long
s: ason.
41 In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius,
tiiat he would cast those of " the tower out of Jerusalem, and t vrrw ao
those also in the fortresses : for thfy fought against Israel.
42 So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only
do this for thee and thy people, but I will ^ greatly honour thee
and thy nation, if opportunity serv
43 Now therefore thou shalt d; tvell, if thou send me men to
help me ; for all my forces are gone from nic.
44 Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men
unto Antioch : and when they came to the king, the king was
very glad of their coming.
4.'i Howbeit, they that were of the city gathered themselves
together, into the midst of the city, to the number of a hundred
and twenty thousand men, ' and would have slain the king.

people, went unto tile king, and told him that Jonathan be- city kept the passages of the ciiy, and began to fight
sieged the tower.
22 Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately
idi. io,.M removing, he came to ' Ptolemais, and wrote unto Jonathan,
that he sliould not lay siege to tlie tower, but come and speak
with him at Ptolemais, in great haste.
23 Nevertheless, Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded
to besiege it still : and he ciiose certain of the elders of Israel, city as
and the priests, and put himself in peril ;
24 And took silver and gold, and raiment, and diver* pres-
ents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, '" where he
found favour in his sight.
2,'j -And dioiigii certain " ungodly men of the people had
made complaints against liiin,
'26 Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done
before, and pioin'<'''u liiii' in the sight of all his friends,
27 And confir.fM ,! him in " llie high priesthood, and in all
the honours that i:..' had before, and gave him pre-eminence

»efsf 67. talents.
29 So tlie king cimsented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan
of all tliese things iil'tcr tins niainur :
30 King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto tlie
nation of the Jews, sendelli greeting :

him all at once, and, dispersing themselves through the city,
slew that day in the city to the number of a hundred thousand.
48 Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that
day, " and delivered the king. • wnw
49 So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the
y would, their coiiragt; was abr.ted : wherelore they
made si. ,)iication to the king, and cried, saying,
.■iO II drant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting J.'*''^
us and the city.
51 With that they east away their weapons, and made
peace ; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of tlie king,
and in the sight of all that were in his realm ; and they re
turned to Jerusalem, 'having great spoils.
C)2 So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and
the land was quiet before him.
53 Nevertheless, he dissembled in all that ever he spake, and
estranged himself from Jonatiian, neither rewarded he him
according to the benefits wliicli he had received of him, but
troubled liini very sore.
54 .After this returned ' Tryphon, and with him the * young
child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowneil.

N< )W when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered togeth-
er a great host to invade the land of Julea, and destroy it,
2 .And saw that the people was in great tn'inbling and fear,
he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together,
3 And gave them e.xhortatioii, saying. Ye yourselves know
what great things I, and my brethn-n, and my father's house, ?
hav(! (lone for the laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and |

(> Doubtless t will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and |

to destroy us of very malice. i
7 Now as soon as the people heard fliese word.s, ttieif spirit {
revived.
8 And tliey answered with a lonii Voice, saying, Thou shalt
be oui^ leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother.

us, that will we do.

27 Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of liis
5 father and his bretluc'n, and raised it aloft to the sight, with
I hewn stone, behind and before.
t 28 Moreover, he set up seven pyramids, oni' against an-
5 other, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.
5 21) And in these he made cunninir devices, about the whirli
J he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their ar-
5 mour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved,
< that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea.
1 30 This is the sepulchre which he made at Alodin, and it
? standeth yet unto this day.
31 Now Tryphon di^alt deceitfully with the young kiiiR
Antiochiis, and slew him.
32 And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king
of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land.
33 Then Simon built uj) the strong holds in Judea, and
fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and J "''■'"•*'
gates, and bars, and laid up victuals t therein. 'I'JZ".
34 Moreover, Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius,
to the end he should give the land an immunity, because
t all that Tryphon did was to spoil. vv^w,',

great joy :

there was none to fray them : '

3 Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the
kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it
again, tliat I may restore it to the oltJ estate, and to that end
have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and
prepared ships of war ;
4 My meaning cdsn being to go tiirough the country, that I
may be avenged of them that nave destroyed it, and made
many cities in the kingdom desolate ;
5 Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which
the kings before me granted thee, and whatsoever gifts besides
they granted.
6 I give thee leave also to coin money for thy country with
thine own stamp.
7 And as concerning Jerusalem anil thd sanctuary, let them
be free ; and all the armour that thou hast made, and fortresses
that thou hast built, and keepest in thy hands, let them re-
main unto thee.
8 And if any thing be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it
be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.
9 Furthermore, when we have obtained our kingdom, we
will honour thee, and thy nation, and thy temple, with great
honour, so that your honour shall be known throughout the
world.
10 In tlie hundred threescore and fourteenth year went An-
tiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the
forces came together unto him, so that i'vw were left with
Tryphon.

24 And the copy hereof they wrote to Simon the high ""'«
priest.
as So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second
(lay, t assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which fc. '"
means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in. /"
2(» At that time Simon sent him two thoiisaiul chosen men to
aid him ; silver also, and gold, and miitli armour.
27 JNevertheless he would not receive them, but brake all the
covenants which he had made with him afore, and became
strange unto !iim.
28 Furlhermore he sent u..to him Athenobins, one of his
triends, to commune with him, and say, Ve withhold Joppe
and (Jazara, with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are
cities ol my realm.
2y The borders thereof ye have wasted, and doni' great hurt

and lor the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the b..,lr,,
ciiies, other five hundred talents : if not, we will come and *''•
II fight against you.
32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem : and
when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and
silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and
told hiin the king's message.
33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have
neither taken other men's land, nor holden lliat which apper-
taineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our
enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time.
34 Vyhereforo we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance
ol our fathers.
3 j And whereas thou demandest Joppe and Gazara, albeit
they did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will we
give a hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius an-
swered him not a word ;
36 IJut returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto
him of the.se speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all
that he had seen : whereupon the king was exceeding wroth.
37 I" the mean time ;led Tryphon by ship unto Orthosias.
33 Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the sea-coast,
and gave him a host of footmen and horsemen,
31> And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea .
also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify tlw

18 Other* ran flocking out rtf their houses ||to the general
supplication, because the place was like to come into .ontempt.
W And the women, girt with sackcloth under tiieir breasts,
abounded in the streets ; and the virgins that were kept in, ran,
soiiie to the gates, and some to the walls, and others looked out
o( the windows.
20 And ull holding their hands toward heaven, made aiip-
phcation.
21 Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down '•
of the multitude of all sorts, and the t fear of the high priest, :
being in such an agony.
22 They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep tlit
things committed of trust safe and sure for those that had com-
mitted them.
23 Nevertheless, Jleliodorus executed that which was de-
creed.
24 i\ow as he wis there present himself with his guard
about the treasury, the i| Lord of spirits, and the Prince of a"
I's this
rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and
lie ran fiercely, and smote at lleliodorus with his fore-feet,
and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete
harness of gold.
26 Moreover, two other young men appeared before him,
notable in sireiigtii, excellent in beauty, and < oiiiely in ap-
parel, who stood by liini on either side, and scourged him con-
tinually, and gave him many sore striiies.
27 And Heliodorus fell suddenly iinlo ilie ground, and was
compassed with great darkness : but they that were with liiui
took him up, and put him into a litter.
28 Thus him, that lately came with a great train and wiili
all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, bei-ig
unable to help himself with his weapons : and manifestly tiny
acknowledged the power of God :
29 l''or he by the hand of (jod was cast down, and lay
speechless without all hope of life.
30 But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously hon-
oured his own place : for the temple, which a little aloie was
full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared,
was filled with joy and gladness. «
31 Tiien straightway certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed I
Onias, that he would call upon the .Most High, to grant liim \
his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost. 5
32 So the high priest, suspecting lest the kin^ should mis- 1
conceive that some treachery had been done to Fleliodurus by J
the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man. i
33 iNow as the high priest was making an atonement, the i
same young men in the same clothing appeareil and siooi! be- I
side Heliodorus. saying, Ciive Onias liie lii'ili priest great J
thanks, i.isoinucli as for his sake the Lord hath granted thei
li.'e :
34 .And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven,
declare unto all men the ini;,dity power of tiod. And when
they had spoken these words, tliey appeared no more.
35 So Heliodorus, after lie had ofit-rei! sacrilice unto tiie {
nd made great vows unto him thai had saved his life, j
Lord, 1
and saluted Onias, returned with his iiost to the kii „
36 'I'hen testified he to all men the works of the gTeut God,
which he had seen with his eyes.
37 And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a
fit man to be sent yet once again to Jerusalem, he said,
38 If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him tliilher, and
thou shall receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life :
for in that place, no doiiln, there is aii especial power of (Jod.
39 Forhe that dwellcth in heaven iiath his eye on lliat
place, and defendelh it ; and he beatcth and destroyetli liiem
that come to hurt it.
40 And the tliinijs concerning Heliodonis, and the
of the treasury, fell out on this sort.

THIS Simon now, of whom we spake albre, having been a
bewrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered
Onias, as if he had terrified Heliodonis, and been the worker
of these evils.
iiised to assign a hundred and fifty
more, if he might hi. .. ; .ense to sel him up a place for ex-
ercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the
heathen, and to write tliiin of Jerusiilem hy the numr of An-
tiocliiiins.
U) Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten
into his hiiiiil the rule, he forthwith brought his own nation to
the Oreekisli fashion.
11 And tlie royal privilege.s granteil of special favour to the
Jews by the means of John the father of Liipoleiiius, who went
ambassador to Home for amity and aid, he took away ; anil
putting down the governments which were according to the
law, he brought up new customs against the law :
12 For he built gladly a place of exerci.se under the tower
itself, iiiid brought the chief young men under Ids subjection,
ami made them wear a hat.
13 iNow such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase
ol heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of
Jason, that ungodly wretch, and not high priest ;
14 Thill the pries's had no courage to serve any more at the
altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices,
hastened lobe partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place
of exerci.se, afler the game of ; ULsciis called them forth ;
it> Not selling by the honours of their fathers, but liking the
glory of the (ireeiiins best of all.
1 6 liy reason whereof sore calamity came upon them : for
they liiul them to he their enemies and avengers, whose cus-
tom they followed so eiirncslly, and unto whom they desired to
be like in idl things.
17 For it is not a light tiling to do wickedly against the laws
of God : but the time following shall declare these things.
18 iN()\v when the game th;it wiis used every (ii'th year was
kept iit 'lynis, the king being present,
J!) This ungracitais Jason sent t special messengers from Je- • "i"'
riisaieiii, who were Antiochiiins, to cany three hundred "X'!'",'
liiiichms of silver to the sacrilice of Hercules, which even the roniuia-
beiirers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon tiie siicrifice, be- ''""'
cause it w;as not convenient, but to be reservetl for other cliarges.
20 'I'iiis money then, in regiird of the sender, was appointetl
to Jlerciih's" siicriliee ; but because of the bciirers thereof, it
was employed to tiie making of galleys.

Antiochia.
34 Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed
him to get (Jiiias into his haiuis ; who beiiu i)ersuaded tiiere-
nnlo, and coming' to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand
with oaths ; aixi tliougli he were suspected hij him, yet per-
suaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary : whom forth-
with lie shut up witliuut regard of justice.
3.) For the wliicli cause not only llie Jews, but many also
of otiier nations, took great indignation, and were much griev-
ed for the unjust minder of the iiiaii.
3t) And wlien tlie king was come again from the places
about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the
(ireeks that abhorred the fact also, cuiupluined because Onias
was slain without cause.
37 Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to
pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of
him tliat was dead. ,
38 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away
Andronicus his |>urple, and rent oil his clothes, and leading
him through the whoh; city unto that very place where he had
committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed
murderer. 'J lius th.- Lord rewarded him his punishment, as
he had deserved.
39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the
city by Lysimnchus with the consent of Alenelaus, and the
bruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered them-
selves together against Lysiniaciius, many vessels of gold be-
ing already carried away.
40 Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled
with rage, Lysimachus armed about thrive thousand men, and
began (irst to olfer violence ; one || Auranus being the leader,
a man far gone in years, and no less in folly.
41 They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of
ihein caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust,
that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysima-
chus, and those that set upon them.
42 Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck
to the ground, and all oft/wm they forced to Hee ; but us for.
the church-robber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.
43 Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid
against Menelaus.
44 Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were
sent from the senate pleaded the cause bet'ore him :
45 But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee
the non of Dorymenes, to give him much money, if he would
pacify the king toward him.
46 Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a cer-
tain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of
another mind :
47 Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusa-
tions, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief : and
those poor men, who. if they had told tlieir cause, yea, before
the .Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he
condemned to death.
48 Thus they that followed the matter for the city, and for » huh u
the people, and fur the holy vessels, did soon suiter unjust < mind.
taken, Menelaus tied into the castle
(> IJut Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not con-
sidering that to gel liie day of them of his own nation would be
a most unhappy day for him ; but thinking ihey had been hit
enemies, and not hin coimtrymen, whom he cnni|uered.
7 llowbiit, for all this he obtained not the principality, but
at the last received shame lor the reward of his treason, and
tied again into the country of the Ammonites.
8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being ac-
cused before Arelas the king of the Arabians, tleeiiig from city
to .My, pursued of all men, nated as a t'ursaker of the laws, and
lieiii^ had in abomination as an open || enemy of jiis country
and ((mntryinen, he was cast out into Lgynt.
I 'J Thus he that had driven many out o)' their country, perish-
ed in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and tliink-
; ing t/ivrc to lind succour by reason of his kindred :
J 10 And he that had cast out many unburied had none to
i; mourn lor him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre
with his fathers.
1 1 Now when this that was done came to the king's ear, he
thought that Judea had revolted : whereupon removing out of
Kgypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,
12 And commanded his : mi of war not to spare such as
they inet, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.
13 Thus there was killing of young and old, making away
of men, women, and children, slaying of virgins and infants.
14 And there were destroyed within three whole days four-
score thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the con-
flict ; and no fewer sold than slain.
I 5 Yet was '>e not content with this, but presumed to go in-
to the most holy temple of all the world ; Menelaus, that trai-
tor to the laws, and to his o\\ n country, being his guide :
IG And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and
with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedi-
cated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and hon-
our of the place, he gave them away.
17 And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he con-
sidered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins of
them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not u|>-
on the place.
18 For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins,
this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourg-
ed, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodurus was,
'.vhom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury.
1 J Nevertheless, Uod did not choose the people for the
place's sake, but the place for the people's sake.
20 And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with
them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did after-
ward communicate in the benefits sent from tlie Lord : anil as
it was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the
great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory.
21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thoii-
sancl and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto
Antiochia, weening in his priile to make the land navigable,
aiid the sea passable by foot : such was the haughtiness of his
punishment.
49 Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred
that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried.
.^0 And so, througli the covelousiiess of them that were
power, Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing
malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens.

ts So when Philip saw that this man increased by litlle anil
little, and that things prospered with him still more and more,
he wrote unto I'lolemens, the governor of Colosyria and The-
nice, to yield more aid to the kiiiij's alfairs.

thousand (if all nations under him, to root out the whole nene-

that they should have fourscore and ten bodies foi" one talent ;

38 So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city Odol-
1am. And when the seventh day came, they purified them-
selves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath m the same
^ ^3^'And upon the day following, || as\he use had been, Judas ;
and his company came to take up the bodiesofthem that wen-
slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their lathers
craves. , , . .i _
40 Now under the coats of every one that was slam they
found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is
forbidden the Jews by " th:- law. Then every man saw that
this was the cause wheretore they were slain. _
41 All men therefore praising the Lord, the rignteous Judge,
who had opened the things that were hid,
42 Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that
the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance.
Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep them-
selves from sin, forsomuch as they saw betore their eyes the
things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slam.
43 And when he had made a gathering throughout the coin- |
pany to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it <
to Jerusalem to ofler a sin-oflering, doing therein very well
and honesflv, in that he was mindful of the resurrection :
44 For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should
have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for
45 And also in that he perceived that there was great favour
laid up for those that died godly. (It was a holy and good
thought.) Whereupon he maile a reconciliation tor the dead,
that they might be delivered from sin.

IN the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas, tl
Antiochus Eiipator was coming with a great power ii
2 And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of hisaflairs,
having cUher of them a Grecian power, of footmen a hundred
and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three liuii-
dred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chari-
ots armed with hooks.
3 iMenelaus also joined himself with them, and \vith great
dissii'iiilatioti encouraged Anlioclms, not for the safeguard of
the country, but because he thought to have been made gover-
nor.
4 [{lit the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against
this wicked wretrli, and Lysias irdoriiu-J theking that this
man was the cfuse of all niischijf, so that the king coinmand-

side hanged down into the ashes.
(i Ami whosoever was coiulemiied of sacrilege, or had ciun-
mitteil iiny other grievous crime, there did all nun thrust him
unto deiilli. ,■ I
7 ^^uch a death it happened that wicked man to die, not hav-
ing so iimch as burial in the earth ; and that most jii>lly :
b I'' or inasmuch as he had coiimiitted many sins about the
altar, whose lire and ashes weri' holy, he ri'ceived his death in
ashes.
1) Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mum
to do far worse to the Jews, than had been done in liis I'allnr's
time.
10 Which things when Juilas perceived, he commanded the
multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at
any other time, he would now also help them, being at the
point to be put from their law, from their countiy, and Horn
the holy temple :
1 1 And that he would not sufler the people, that ,; had even ^ ,„,
now been but a little refreshed, to be in subjeidon to the bias- J™',^,*;^;' ;,,
pheinous nations.
12 So when they had all done this together, and besought
the iiiercihil Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying Hat
upon the grcuiid three days hmg, Judas, liavingoxhorted ihcin,
commanded they should be in a readiness.
13 And Judas, being apart with the elders, detenmned, be-
fore the king's host should enter into Judea, and get the city, to
go forth and try the matter iufight by the help ol the Lord.
14 So when he had committed all to the ,i Creator ol the jur.Lwi
world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight manlully, even unto
death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the
commonwealth, ho camped by IModiii :
l.'( And having given the watchword to them that were about
him. Victory is of God ; with the most valiant and choice yoimg
men, he went into the kmg's tent by night, and slew in the
camp about four thousand men, and the chielest ol tlte elephants,
with all that were upon him.
16 And at last they filled the camp with fear and tumult,
and departed with good success.
17 'J'his was done in the break of the day, because the pro-
tection of the Lord did liel)) him.
18 Now when the king had taken a taste of thr manliness of
the Jews, he went about to take the holds hy policy,
ly And marched toward ISethsura, which was a strong hold
of the Jews : but he was put to flight, failed, and lost ol his
men : , . • • i
20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that were iii it siicli
things as were necessary.
21 Hut Rhodoeiis, who was in the Jews host, discloseil the
secrets to the enemies ; therefore he was sought out, and when
they had gotten him, they put him in prison.
22 The king treated with them in liethsura the second time,
gavehishand, took theirs, departed, fought with Judas, was
overcome ; , n- ■ • ^ •
23 Heard that Philip, who was hit over ihe aftairs in Anti-
och, II was desperately hc.U, coiilouiuled, entreated the Jews,
submitted himself, and sware to all eipi 1 londitions, ;;gieed
with them, and (diered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt
kindly with the place, • • i
24 And accejited well of Maccabeus, made him principal
governor from i'tolemais unto the (ierrhi'nians ;
2.j Came to Ptoleniais : the peop! • there were grieved for
the covenants ; for they stormed, because they would make
their covenants void : • , i
26 Lysias went up to the judgment-seat, said as much as
could be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacilied, made
them well-afl'ected, returiieil to Aiitioch. Thus it went touch-
ing the king's toining and depiirting.

were very good, and able to stir them up to valour, and to en-
courage the hearts of the young men, they deterinini'd not to

18 For the care that they took for their wiv('s, and their >

stnjtched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the I

such as are worthy : J
J the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the

to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celt.'brate the
thirteenth day of the twelfth month, wliicli in the Syrian tongue
is called Adar, the day before iMarducheus' day.
37 Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the
Hebrews had the city in their power. And here will I make
an end.

that which I desired : but if slenderly and nitanlv, it is tiiat
which I could attain unto.

IE same day went Jesus out of the house,
and sat by the sea-side.
2 And great inultitiides were gathered together
unto him, so that he went into a sliip, and sat; and
the vvliole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables,
saying. Behold, a sower went fortl; to sow :
4 And when ho sowed, some seeds fell by th(! way
side, and the fowls came and devoured them uo.
5 Some fell upon stony places, where tiiey liad
not much earth ; and forthwith they sjirung up,
because they had no deepness of earth :
6 And when the siin was up, they were scorched ;
aiul because they had no root, they withered away.

» A FTER two days was the feast of the passover,

again ; for their e^es were heavy : neither wist they
what to answer him.

them. Sleep on now,and take wowr rest : it is enough,
the hour is come : behold, the Son of man is betrayed
into the hands of sinners.

at hand.

CHAPTER L
1 Luke'.s preface... .5 The conception of John Baptist, 26 and
of Christ.. ..."57 The nativity and circumcision of John.
64 The mouth of Zacharias opened : 67 his prophecy.
" Ih' or ASMUCH as many have taken in hand to
JO set forth in order a declaration of those things
which are most surely believed among us,
2 " Even as they delivered them unto us, which
from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and minis-
ters of the word ;
3 *= 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,
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those
things wher ein thou hast. been instructed.
6 TiTpHERE was, in the days of Herod the
JL king of Judea, a certain priest named
Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of
the daughters of Aaron, and her name icas Elisabeth.
6 " And they were both righteous befori; God,
walking in all the commandments and ordinai'.ecs of
the Lord blameless.
7 ' And they had no child, because that Elisabeth
was barren, and they both were now well stricken
in years.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the
priest's office before Goa in the order of his course,
_ 9 ^ According to the custom of the priest's office,
his lot was to burn incense when he went into the
temple of the Lord.
10 And the whole multitude of the people w^ere
praying without at the time of incense.
1 1 •■ And there appeared unto him an angel of the
Lor^, standing on tne right side of the altar of in-
cense.
12 ' And when Zacharias saw him, he was troub-
led, and fear fell upon him.
1 3 * But the angel said unto him. Fear not, Zacha-
rias : for thy prayer is heard ; and thy wife Elisabeth
shall bear tliee a son, and thou shalt call his name
John.
14 ' And thou .shalt have joy and gladness ; and
many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 "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.
16 " And many of the children of Israel shall he
turn to the Lord their God.
17 "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
ju.st ; to make ready a peoi)le prepared for the Lord.
18 TI '' And Zacharias said unto the angel, Where-
by shall I know this .'' for I am an old man, and my
wife well stri(;ken in years.
19 "J 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.
20 'And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able
to speak, until the day t\y.\t these things shall be
performed, because thou bi,'! ' 'est not my words,
which shall be fulfilled in th' '■ .cason.
21 And the people waited for 3acharias, and mar-
velled that he tarried so lor): h< *hc temple.
22 And when he came out, ue 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.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days
of his ministration wero accomplished, he departed
to his own house.
24 And after those da' s bis wife Elisabeth con-
ceived, and hid herself five montlis, saying,
25 'Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days
wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach
among men.

down, and the fowls of the air dgjvoured it.
3 And some fell upon a rock'; and as soon as it
was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked
moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns
sprang up with it, and choked it.
B And other fell on good ground, and sprang up,
and bare fruit a hundred-fold. And \vhen he had
said these things, he cried. He that hath cars to hear,
let him hear.

having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of iin|)otent folk,
of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of:
the water.
4 For an angel w ,'nt down at a certain season
into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever
then first, after the troubling of the wate , stepped
in, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there which had an in-
firmity thirty and ei^ht years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had
been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him,
Wilt tiiou be made whole ?
7 The impoten' man answered him, Sir, I have
no man. when the water is troubled, to put me into
the pool : but while 1 am coming, another steppeth
down before me.
8 "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed,
and walk.
9 "^ And immediately the man was made whole,
and took up his bed, and walked : and on the same
day was the sabbath.

him.

I was blind, now I see.

groaned in the spirit, and was troubled ;

about with a iiaiikin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose

high priest that same year, said unto them. Ye know ' - - ■ -
nothing at all,
50 ' Nor consider that it is expedient for us that
one man should die for the people, and that the whole
nation fierish not.
.51 And this spake he not of himself: but, being
high priest that year, he proi)hesied that Jesus should
die for that nation ;
52 ' And not for that nation only, but that also he
should gather together in one the children of God
that were scattered abroad.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel
together for to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among
the Jews ; but went thence unto a country near to
the wilderness, into a city called Ei)hraim, and there
continued with his disciples.
55 H * And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand :
and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem
before the passover, to purify themselves.
oQ Then sought they for Jesus, and snake among
themselves as they stood in the temple, What think
ye, that he will not come to the feast ?

only, but that they might see Lazarus also,whom he
had raised Irom t!ie dead.
10 But the chief jtriesis consulted that they migh
put Laz-.uus also to death ;
1 1 Because that by reason of him many of the
Jevvs went away and believed on Jesus.
12 11' Oil the next day much iieople that were
come to the least, when they heaid that Jesus was
coming to Jerusalem,
13 8 Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth
to meet him, and cried, Hosamia ! Blessed is the
King ot Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord !
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass,
: thereon ; as it is written,
15 ^ Fear not, daughter of Sion ; behold, thy King
cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
i6 Ihese things understood not his disciides at the
first : but when Jesus w as glorified, then remembered
they that these things were written of hi.!!, and that
they had done these things unto him.

he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him
from the dead,bare record.
1 8 For this cause the people also met him, for that
tliey heard that he had done this miracle.
1 9 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,
Perceive ye how ye j)revai! nothing ? behold, the
world IS gone after him.
20 11 ' And there were certain Greeksamong them
that came up to worship at the feast :

25 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 Samr.ri-
tans.
26 11 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.
27 And he arose and went : and, behold, a man of
Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Can-
dace tiueen of the Ethiopians, who had the '.;harge
of all her treasure, and had come to Jei is}'.lem for
to worshij),
28 Was returning ; and, sitting in his chariot, read
Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philij), Go near, and
join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, und heard him
read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest
thou what thou readcst ?
31 And he said, How can I, e.xcci)t some man
should guide me? And lie desired Philip that he
would come up and sit with him.
32 ' The place of the scripture which he lead 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 :
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken
away : and who shall declare his gen<. ration .■' for
his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philiji, and said, I
pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this ? of
himself, or of some other man ?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at
the same scripture, and preached unto iiiin Jesus.
36 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 ?
37 '' And Philip said. If thou believest with all
thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said,
I believe that Jesus Christ is the »5o« of God.
38 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.
39 '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.
40 " But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing
through, he preached in all the cities, till he came
to Cesarea.

by the hand, and broiigiit him into Damas<;us.
9 And he was three days without sight, and nei-

10 11 And there was a certain disciple at Damas-
cus, named Ananias : and to him said the Lord in a
visioa,Ananias. And he said, Behold, 1 umhere, Lord.

13 ' Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard
iiy many of this man, how much evil he hath done
to thy saints at Jerusalem :
14 And here he hath authority from the chief
priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 ' But the Lord said unto htm, Go thy way : for
he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name be-

they sent unto him two men, desiring kim that he
would not delay to come to them. ,

he was come, they brought him into the upper cham-

down, and prayed: and turning /urn to the body,
said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes : and
when she saw Peter, she sat up.

trance, , .

us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these

broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while,

at .Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium ; and the next
day we came to Miletus.

because In; would not spend the time in Asia ; for he
hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem

apjirehended, 31 but rescued by the chief captain.
" A ND it came to iiass, that after we were f gotttii
1\. tiom them, and had launched, we came with i",-^^
a straight course unto Coos, and the day following V,i2.
unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara :
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia,
we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Now when wc had discovered C^'prus, wc left
it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed
at Ty>t'- '■ for there the sliii) was to unlade her burden.
4 "And finding disciples, we tarried there scneii
days : who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he
should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 " And when we had accomiilished tlfose days,
we departed antl went our way : and they all brought
us on our way, with wives and children, till ive were
out of the city : and we kneeled down on the shore,
and i)rayed.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another,
we took ship ; and they returned home again.
7 And when we had finished owr course from Tyre,
we came to Ptolemais, and saluccd the brethren, and
abode with them one day.
8 ''And the next day, we that were of Paul's com- '„i';^.;.';*
liany departed, and came unto Cesarea: and \\e hphi^in:
entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which
was 07ie of the seven ; and abode with him.
9 'And the same man had four daughters, virgins, ;^J™;'^','l,
which did prophesy. ' "'' '

15 And niter those days we took up o ir carriages,
and vent up to Jerusalem. . , , ,. .
16 ''Inhere went with us also certain o\ the disci-
pl<>s of Cesarea, and brought with theni one Mnason
ofCv!>rus,anolddisrii)lo,with whom we should lodfse.
17 11 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the
brethren received us gladly. ...
1 » "And the dui) Ibllowini!; Paul went ui with us
unto James ; and all the elders were i)resent.
19 "And when he had saluted them, he declared
particularly what tiiinRS (iod had wrought among
the Gentiles by his ministry. , .^ , , t i
20°And when thev heard /7, they slonhed the l.or(i,
and said unto him. Thou scest, brother, how many
'Z.k^ tliousandsofjews there are which believe; and tiiL-y
'"'■''"■ are all zealous of the law: ,, , , ,
21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teacii-
est all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to loi-
sake Moses, saying, That th( y ouglit not to eircuni-
ciso ?/(efV children, neithei to walk aftcvthe customs.
22 What is it therefore ? the multitude must needs
come together: for the v will hear that thou art come.
23 ''Do therefore this that we say to thee: \\e
ha\e four men which ha\e a vow^ on thern ;
2i The « ake, and purify thyself with them, and
be at cha with them, that they may shave tluir
heads ; and all may know, that those things ^yhel•eof
they were informed conc<n-ningthee,are nothing, but
that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest
t!ie law. , . , , ,.
25 lAs touching the Gentiles which believe, we
have written, and concluded that they observe no
suchthing, save only that they keei)themselve^s from
things offered to idols, and from blood, and from
strangled, and from fornication.
26 'Then Paul took the men ; and the next day
purifying himself with them, entered into the temide.,
to signily the accomplishment of the days of i)ijrih-
cation, until that an offering should be ofiered for
every one of them.
27 H And when the seven days were almost ended,
the Jews which were of Asia, when they s:m him in
the temi)le, stirred up all the people, and laid hands
28 ' Cryihg out, Men of Israel, help : this is the
man that teacheth all men every where against the

ran together : and thcv took Paul, and ilrew him out
of the temple : and forthwith the doors Avere shut.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tiding.,
came unto the chief captain of the bano, that all Jer
salem was in an uproar : , ,. ,
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurionS;
and ran down unto them : and when they saw the
chief captain andthesoldiers,thcy left beatmgotPau.
33 " Then the chief captain came near, and took
him,andcommanded/imtobe bound withtwochains;
and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among
the multitude : and when he could not know the
certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be
carried into the castle. -'

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not
a \vise man among you ? no, not one that shall be able
to judge between his brethren ?
6 ' But brother goeth to law with brother, and that

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your

9 '' Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not in-

fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effemi-
nate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom
of God.

13 All L, an ai)ostle of .lesiis Christ by the will of
. God, and Timothy- o?/r brother, untothechi.rch
of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which
arc in all Achaia :
2 "Grace be to you, and peace, from God our t a-
ther, and /roHi the Lord. I esus Christ.
3 " Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord
.lesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of
all comfort; ., , • 1
4 •'Who comfortetb us in all our tribulation, that
wc may be able to comfort them which are in any
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are
comforted of God. .
5 " For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us,
so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 ' And whether wc be afflicted, it 7S for your
consolation and salvation, which is efTectual m the
enduring of the same su iTenngs which we atso sutler :
or whether we be comforted, it is for your consola-
tion and salvation. . ,,. ,
7 8 And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing,
that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall yc
be also of the consolation.
8 " For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant
of our trouble which came to us i.i Asia, that we
were pressed out of measure, above strength, inso-
much that we despaired even of lile :
9 ' But W'K had the sentence of death m ourselves,
that we should not trust in ourselves, but m God
which raiseth the dead : _ , . j
10 " Who delivered us irom so great a death, and
doth deliver: in whom we trust that he wdl yet de-
liver vs; . , , /• ^1 *
1 1 ' Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that
for the gift bestowed upo.i us by tlie means of many
persons, thanks mavbe given by many on ourbel.alt.
12 "• For our rejoicing is this, the testimony ol our
conscience, that in simi>licity and godly siiiceriiy,
not with ileshlv wisdom, but by the grace ot God, we
have had our conversation in the world, and more
abundantly to you-ward. .
13 For we write none other things unto you thaii
what ye read or acknowledge ; and I trust yc shall
acknowledge even to the end ; , , ,
14 "As also ye have acknowledged us u. iiart,
that we are :^our rejoicing, even as ye also are ours
in the day of the Lord .lesus.
15 " A..d in this confidence 1 was minded to come
unto you before, that ye might have a second beiielit ;
16 And to pass bv you into Macedonia, and to
come again out of Macedonia unto you, and oi you
to be brought on my way toward Judca.
17 "When I therefore was thus minded, did 1 use
lightness ? or the things that I i.urpose, do I purpose
accordi.ig to the flesh, that with me there should be
yea, yea, and nay, nay ?
1 8 1 But as God is true, our word toward you was
not yea and nay. ^ , ^ i-,i • 1
Id ' For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, \vho was
preached among vou by us.eucn by me and Silvanus
and llmotheus, was not yea and nay, but 111 him
was yea. . ^ ^^ 1 ■ 1 •
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea,
and in him Amen, unto the glory ol God by us. ,
21 ' Now he which establisheth us with you in
Christ, and hath anointed us, is < /Jod ;
22 'Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest
of the Spirit in our hearts. ,
23 " Moreover 1 call God for a record upon my soul,
that, to spare you, I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 » Not for that we have dominion over your laith,
but are helnera of your joy : for by faith ye stand.

us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent |
mind toward me ; so that I rejoiced the more. \
8 ^ For thcugh I made you sorry with a letter, I do S
not re|)ent, though I did repent : for I perceive that \

9 '' Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,
but that ye sorrowed to repentance, for ye were made
'lifs'il^ sorry after a godly manner, that ye liiight receive;

10 ' For godly sorrow worketh repentance to sal-
vation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the
world worlceth death.
11 ''For behold this self-same thing,that ye sorrow-

you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what in-

IF The Epistb' of PAUL, the Apostle, to the GALATIANS.
CHAP TEH I.
1 Paul's salutation : 6 he wonders that they Iiad so soon
the tn '•• of the gospel, &c.
" X> AUL, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man,
jL but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who
raised liim from the dead ;)
2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto
the churches of Galatia : ,. /-i 1 1
3 " Grace he to you, and peace, from God the
Father, and //om our Lord Jesus Christ, _
4 ■= Who gave himself for our sins, that he might
deliver us from this present evil world, according to
the will of God and our Father :
5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6 '' I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him
that called you into the gra e of Christ unto another
gospel:
7 " Which is not another ; but there be some that
trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 ' But though we, or an angel froni heaven,
preach any other gosjiel unto you than that which
we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 ' As we said before, so say I now again, It any
man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye
liave received, let him be accursed. „ , . , ,
10 " For do I now persuade men, or God .'' or do I
seek to plea.se men ? tor if 1 yet pleased men, I should
not be the servant of Christ. ,
11 'But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel}
u hich was preached of me is not after man. |
12 " For I neither received itot man, neither was?
I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
13 ' For ye have heard of my conversation in time ?
l)ast in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure *
} „.,j.t;^>,.5,{,.{^ x\\p chmcli of God-, and wasted it : ?
*14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many
my equals in mine onn nation, being nioreexceed-
in'"^l v zealous of the traditions of my lathers.
' lo '" But when it pleased God, who separated me
J from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
left \ 16" To reveal his Son in me, that 1 might |)reach
5 him among the heathen ; immediately 1 conferred
not with flesh and blood ;
17 Neither went 1 upto Jerusalemtotnem which
were apostles before me ; but 1 went into Arabia,
antl returned again unto Damascus.
18 " Then after three years I went up to Jerusa-
lem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 ''But other of the apostles saw 1 none, save
James the Lord's brother.
20 "J Now the things which I write unto you, be-
hold, before God, 1 he not. .
21 ' Afterwards 1 came into the regions of Syria
and Cilicia ; , , ,
22 And was unknown 'ly face unto the churches
of Judea which were in Christ :
23 But they had heard only. That he which perse-
cuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith
which once he destroyed.
24i And they glorihed God in me.
CHAPTER H.

20 they that are so justified live not in sin.
' rflHEN, II fourteen years after, I went up aj^ain
X to .Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took litus
with me also.
2 " And 1 went up by revelation, and communi-
cated unto them that gospel which I preach among
the <ieiitiles; but privately to them which were ot

run, in vain. . , , .

and lello^v-laboul•er,
'2 '' And to our beloved /Xppliia, and Archippus our :
fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house : :
;3 Cirace to you, and peace, from God our Father !
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 ' 1 thank my God, making mention of thee always
ill my prayers,
5 '' Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast
toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints ;
6 ° That the communication of thy faith may be-
come cfi'ectual by the acknowledging of every good
thing which is in you in Chris^ Jesus.
7 ' For we have great joy and consolati(-n in thy
love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed
by thee, brother.
H ^ \Vhen;fore, though I might he much bold in
Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
9 Yet for love's sake I rather licseech (hee, being
such a one as Paul the aged, and now also ajirisoni^r
of .Jesus ("hrisi.
1(1 '' I bescecli thee for my son Oiiesinius, w horn
have begoiten in my bonds :
11 Which in time past was to thee un|)rofitable,
but now profitable to thee and to me :
12 W hoin I have sentagain : thou therefore receive
him, that is mine own })owels : _
13 ' Whom I would have retained with me, that in
j thy stead he might Ir.uc ministered unto me in the
; bonds ot tlu' gospel :

J but willingly.
I 15' l""or jierhaiis he therefore dejiarted for a season ,
5 that thou shouldest receive him for ever ;
5 1 () '" Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a
J brother beloved, es|)ecially to me, but how miK h
Smore unto thee, both in the llesli and in the Lord .''
17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive
him as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee aught,
put that on mine account ;
19 1 Pail! have written it with mine own hand, I
will repay it : albeit 1 do not say to thee how thou
ow est unto me even thine ow n self bc'sidcs.
20 Yeaj brother, let me have joy of thee in the
liord : refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21 "I laving confidence in thy obedience, I wrote un-

1 Clirist is she-.ved to lie more worthy than Aloses : 7 lliere-
fort! we must be careful not to loUuw the e.\ainple of the oli-
stinate and unbelieving Israelites, iVc.
/"HFHFFORF, Injly hretlurn, partakers of
the h(!avenly calling, consider the .Apostle
and High Priest of our profession, Christ .lesus ;
2 '' Who was faithful to him that appointed him,
as also Moses imsfdithful in all his house.
3 " For this pian was counted worlliy of more glory
than Moses, inasmuch as he w ho hath builded the
house hath more honour than the house.
4 '' I'or every house is buikled by some man ; but
he that built all things w God.
5 " And Moses verily ^cas faithful in all his house,
as a servant, for a testimony of those things which
were to be spoken after :
G 'But Christ as a Son over his own house; whose
house are we, if we 'lold fast the confidence and the
rejoicing; of the hojie firm unto the end.
7 8 Wherefore (as tjie Holy Ghost saith, To-day,
if ye will hear his voice,
P> '' Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,
in the day of temptalion in the w ilderness ;
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and
saw my w orks forty years.

1 He commendeth Gaius for his piety, 5 and iiospitality to true
preachers ; 9 he cen.surelh Diotrephes, and ihreiiteneth liini
for his ambitious opposition, 1 1 whose evil example is not to
be followed.
* rriHE elder unto the well-Iiclovcd Gaius, whom
-I- 1 love in the truth.
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou may-
est prosper and be in health, even as thy soul pros-
pereth.
3 '' For I rejoiced gieatly when the brethren came
and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou
walkest iu the truth.
4 ' I have no greater joy than to hear that my
children walk in truth.
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou
doest to the brethren and to strangers :
6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before
the church : whom if thou bring forward on their
journey after a godly sort, thou .shalt do well :
7 '' Because that for his name's sake they went
forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
! 8 " We therefore ought to receive such, that we
! might be fellow -helpers to the truth.
\ 9 I wrote luito the church : but Diotrephes, who
I loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiv-
[eth us not.
J 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds
which he doeth, prating against us with malicious
[words : and not content therewith, neither doth he
> himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them
[that would, and casteth then out of the church.
j 11*^ Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but
I that which is good. He that doeth good is of God :
\ but he that doetli evil hath not seen God.
I 12 ^Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of
i the truth itself, yea, and we alio bear record ; and
I ye know that our record is true.
I .13 '' I had many things to write, but I will not
I with ink and pen write imto thee :
ll But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we
\ shall speak face to face. Peace 6e to thee. Our
friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

I Jude exhorteth Christians to constancy in the received
faith; 4 he foretelleth the punishr.,..nt of certain false
teachers, &c.
" TUDE, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother
•^ of James, to them that are sanctified by (jlod
the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, andcAWvA :
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multi-
plied.
3 " Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write
unto you of the common salvation, ic was needful
for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye
should earnestly contend for the faith which was
once delivered unto the saints.
4 " For there are certain men crept in unawares,
\vho were before of old ordained to this condemna-
tion ; ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the c niy Lord God, and
our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 "^ I will therefore put you in remembrance, though
ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved
the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward
destroyed them that believed not.
G * And the angels which kept not their first
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved
in everlastingchains, under darkness, unto the judg-
ment of the great day.
7 ' Even as Sodom and Gomorrl'.r!, .-snd the citifs
about them, in like manner giving themselves over to
fornication, and going after straUjje flesh, are set foi th
J for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
> fire.
S 8 ^ Likewise also thcavjilthy dreamers defile the
< flesh, desiiise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
I 9 *■ Yet JNIichael the archangel, when contending
i whh the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses,
I durst not l)ring against him a railing accusation, but
said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 ' But these si)eak evil of those things which
they know not : but what they know naturally, as
brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
1 1 '' Wo unto them ! for they have gone in the
way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of
Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying
of Core.
12 ' These are spots in your feasts of charity,
when they feast with you, feeding themselves with-
out fear: clouds they are without water, carried
about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, with-
out fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots ;
13 ■" Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their
own shame ; wandering stars, to whom is reserved
the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 " And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh
; with ten thousand of his saints,
1.5 ° Tn rxccsUe jsids^ment ujwn all ; and to con-
vince all that are ungodly amo!;g them of all their
ungodly deeds which they have imgodly committed,

1 A beast riseth out of the sea with .sevt'ii heads and ten horns.

tcth the worship of th'.' former beast.
' 4 ND I Stood upon the sand of the sca^ and saw
■l\- n beast rise up out of the sea, havms seven
heads and ten horns, ac.d upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the n:'iin<< of blas|)hemy.
2 " And the lu^ast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and
his month as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon
gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 " And 1 saw one of his heads as it were woun-
ded to death ; and his deadly wound was healed :
and all tlie world wondered after the beast.
4 "^ And tliey worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the.
beast, saying. Who is like unto the beast .'' who is
able to make war with him .''
5 ° And there was given unto him a mouth speak-
ing great things and blasphemies ; and power was
given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasjihemy against
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven.
7 ' And it was given unto him to make war with
the saints, and to overcome them : and power was
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
a * And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship
him, witose names are not written in the book of life
of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

that in this year came forth thai renowned edict of his,Tliu' saith (^yrus king

and bath charged ine to buihl him a house at Jerusalem which is in .ludah, lo.
At which lime the 70 years of the I Hbylonish cajiliviiy lieing expired, (as was

far short of thnt universal sum of 42,i!«0, uliichat thelKiliom of each catalogue
is said to be the numlier of the whole congregation. Wherefore the II,-
brews in (he xxixth ciiapter of their great cl.ronicie tell us,lliat to complete the

In the second year aftertheir return from Ilabylon, in the second month, they

of the temple; the old men lamenting, who 53 ytnrs before had seen the old tem-
ple standing, and the youngfT sort rejoicing to see tlie new one going up.
The Sninaritnns bv the means of certain courtiers alKint Cyrus, whom they
bad bribed for Hull puryofc, disturb the .lews In their work of the temple.
In the beginnuig of the reign of Artaxcnies (called in profane story Cnnilij'-

About this time Zecliariafa the prophet eihorteih the Jews to repenunce.
Aliasuerus puts away queen Voshti Ills wife, and not long after espouteth Es-

he ni.ir find a successful time, lie causcth Pur, that Is, llie lot, to be cast licfore
him, ftir to hn m the day and moiitli wherein the Jews shall be destroyed, and
the lot fails on the 12th month Adur.
Ilaman obtains an edict from (he king, that all Jews, without ref)>ert to sex

JUDEA, PALESTINE, OR THE HOLY LAND.
PALESTINE Ii bounded on the north, by Mount libanui, orLeburon, which sepamtee It from that
part of Syria, anciently called Phcenlcla; on the cast hy Mount Hermon, which dlvhlea It from
Arabia Ucserta ; on the south hy Arabia Pctrcn ) nnd on the west by the Medilerranea;i Seu, or sea
of.Svria.
Tills conntry received the nameof Palestine from the rhIllslinM, who dwelt on the sen.co.-wt ; it was
called .luclen, from Judnli , nnd It Is ternieil the llolv Land, lieinj; the country where ,l(»ius Christ wns
horn, preuched his holy doctrines, conflrnied them by ininicies, and laid dimii his life for niankiiMl.
Palestine is about one hundred and "Ighty five mllcB In lenpth, nnd generally eiglily In breadth ; it is
situated l)etwecii 31" and 33» 40. north latitude.
The cUinate of Palestine Is, duringa great part of the year, very hot. The ensterly winds are usii-
i\lv dry, though >hev are sometimes temiwstiious -, and tliosi! which are westerly, are attended with
rain. The heat here might be e:tpected to be excessive j yet Mount Lilnnus, from its unromninn
height, is covered all tlift ivinter with snow.
The first raitis as they are called, genernllv fail about (he iM-glnnlng of NovendxTi and tlie latter
rains, in Ihe month of April. Iiithc country round .lerusnlem, if a moile-'ute '(unntity of snow falls in
the beginnini; of Kebruars', and the brooks soon after ovc-flow their banlis, it Is thought to forclxxle a
fruitful year i and the inhabitants make rejoicings upon this occasion, as the Kgyplians do witli resjwct
to the Nile', this countiy Is seld.mi rvifreshed with niln during tlie siim—er seisoii.
The rocks of .luJoa are, in many places, covered with a soil clielky sulist«nce,ln wlikli Is enclosed a
grcnt variety of siiclis and corals. The greatest part of tlie mountains of Cnnnel, nnd those ol .lern-
<iilem and liethlehem, nre overspread with a white clinlky stratum. In mount Carinel, are gathered
inanv stones, which, lieing in the lonn ol olives, melons, peaches, and ot! er frnit, are imposed ui>on
pilm'-ims, not only ns those fruits petrified, but ns antidotes ngiiinst several diseases.
Witli respect to the rivei-s of tlie country, the Jordan, calieil by the Arabs Mceriah, Is not ouly the
most considerable, but, next to the Nile, Is the largest, either in the Levant or in llarliary. It lias Its
tonrce nt the bottom of Mount Lihanus or Lebanon, nnd is formed from tlie waters nl two lonntidns,
which are about a mile distant fiom each other. One of thcin lies to the east, nnd is called Jor ; the
other, which is exposed to tl"; south. Is named IJnn. The conQuence of the two streams is found near
the ancient city of Cesnrea Phllippi, wlilch is at present only a village, and cailwl Ueline. The river
lakes a course'bctween the E. and S. nnd after running seven oiiles, fails into tlie lake Siinlociion or

Dead Sea produces a kind of bitumen, vliich may be fonnil floatin;: on the surface, like large lumi*l
of earth. This bitumen is a sutnliuriius siibstani-e, mixed with salt-, it is as brittle as black )iitch, ij
combnsliiiie, ami exhales, while hiiming, a strong and penetriiling snieli. The ancient Arabs used it
for smearing and embalming their dead, to preserve them from perishing. The inounlainE nenrthi*
