PEEFACE.
This Edition of the Scriptures is a PAC-SIMILE EEPRINT, WITH LAHaER TYPES, of the
" ENaLiSH Veksion of Bagstee's Polyglot Bible." It corresponds page for page, and line for
line, with the two Pocket Editions.
All who have been accustomed to the regular use of any particular edition of the Scriptures, must
be aware how much their ability to refer from one passage to another depends on their remembrance
of the position of the passages upon the particular parts of the pages where they occur ; so that while
they are able to turn with ^ease to the passage they wish to consult in their own Bihles, tliey are often
quite at a loss in searching for the same truths in a Bible with which they are not familiar. This of
course depends upon the local memory induced by the constant recurrence, during the daily reading,
of the same passages upon the same pages and parts of the pages.
It is accordingly found by those whose failing sight obliges them to relinquish the use of their
smaller Pocket Bible for a larger type, that the different arrangement of the matter in the newly
adopted copy produces very considerable inconvenience, and materially hinders their accustomed
enjoyment of the Sacred Word.
A Bible, therefore, that might supersede the smaller Pocket Companion, without destroying the
valuable assistance of this local memory, and without the inconvenience of a new form and arrange-
ment, has been long a desideratum.
Such a Bible is the present Edition.
It has been prepared more expressly for the readers of the " English Yeesion of Bagstee's
Polyglot Bible," with both sizes of which it exactly corresponds, as well as with the various other
Languages of the Series : and the numerous Bible readers accustomed to the use of either of these
editions may now obtain the occasional relief of a larger print, or permanently lay aside their well
remembered pages, without the least confusion or inconvenience, or the fear of losing the advantage
of their previous research and familiarity with the Text.
The present Volume is, as it were, simply a magnified picture of the smaller editions.
A UNIEOEM Seeies of Biblcs is thus furnished by the pubhcation of this edition ; and those who
have not hitherto become very accustomed to other editions, may with much advantage adopt either
of the smaller copies for present use, secure of another similar copy with type of increased size, to
suit the varying powers of the sight throughout the whole period of life.
The Contents of this Edition are too weU known to require lengthened description.
The Text is that of the Authorised Version, printed with the utmost attainable accuracy.
The Eeeeeences are original in plan and arrangement. They have been selected with laborious
care,— to exhibit the harmony of the sacred writers on the subjects of which they treat : to show the
connection of all the Divine attributes, and the holy uniformity of God in His government, both of
His people and the world : to help those who are seeking the way of salvation, by pointing out the
repeated invitations of mercy : to exhibit the constant reference of all the sacred writers to our Lord
Jesus Christ, to whom give all the prophets witness : to connect the threatenings of God's holy law
with sin, and with His infinite mercy in Christ : to demonstrate the concurrence of the Old and New
Testaments, and the relation of the types and prophecies with their fulfilment : and to manifest
respecting the gracious and indispensable operations of the Holy Ghost, the Sanctifier, that as He
PEEFACE.
gave by inspiration the Scriptures for our use, so to Him are we indebted for all we have learned or
may learn of them.
" It is incredible to any one who has not made the experiment, what a proficiency may be made
Ln that knowledge which maketh wise unto salvation, by studying the Scriptures with reference to the
parallel passages toilhout any oilier Commentary^ or Exposition, than what the difierent parts of the
Sacred Volume mutually furnish for each other. Let the most illiterate Christian study them in this
manner, and let him never cease to pray for the illumination of that Spirit by whom these books were
dictated, and the whole compass of abstruse philosophy and recondite history shall furnish no argu-
ment with which the perverse will of man shall be able to shake this learned Christian's faith."—
bishop Horsley.
The Chronology, placed at the top of each column of references, appHes to the events contained
in the text at the beginning of each page.
The Marginal Readings are all those which usually accompany the largest editions of the
authorised Yersion.
The Tables of Weights, Measures, etc., and the account of the Political and other divisions of
the Jews, are from the best authorities.
The Comparative Chronological arrangement of the contemporaneous history of the kingdoms of
Judah and Israel wUl, it is hoped, materially decrease the difficulty of understanding this portion of
the Scriptures.
Tlie HisTOET of the period between the close of the Old Testament Canon and the times of the
IS'ew Testament, will furnish much desirable information of the political state of Judea during the
life of our Lord and his Apostles.
The Tabular Haemoxt of the Four Gospel Narratives, and the Synopsis of the Itinerary of
the Israehtes according to the latest investigations, etc. will afford some assistance to the student.
The CoMPAEATiYE YiEW of the Quotations from the Old Testament by the New Testament
writers, is entirely new, and, it is believed, is more complete than any other similar list. It may be
remarked, in connection with these quotations, and to illustrate the value of such a help as is here
ofiered, that in every case in which we can establish an undoubted reference of the Spirit of G-od in
the New Testament to previous revelation in the Old Testament, we have, as it were, a nucleus of
infallible interpretation around which to accumulate further light, and by which to estimate the
soundness of our own understanding of the Scriptures.
The Maps have been prepared with the utmost care, both as regards their geographical accuracy
and their artistic execution, and contain the newest information.

THE JEWISH AND OTHER SECTS AND FACTIONS
MENTIONED IN THE SCEIPTURES,
ABBIDGED FROM THE "COMPREHENSIVE BIBLE."
The Pharisees most probably derived their name
from D''C^nD. perusMm, in the Chaldee dialect, |''K^''12.
Xierishin, and i^''tJ^^'12> perishaya, and in Syriac, ( ff\ »yj^ »
pherishai, wbicli signifies persons who are separated ivom.
others; which name they assimied because they pre-
tended to a more than ordinary sanctity, and strictness
in religious observances. (Acts chap. xxvi. 5.) In the time
of our Saviour, it would appear that the great mass of
the common people, attracted by their exterior sanctity,
their zeal, and their rehgious mysteries, were Pharisees.
The leading distinction of character in this sect, how-
ever, arose from their holding the traditions of the
elders ; which they not only set upon an equal footing
with the law of God, but, in many cases, explained away
the latter by the former.
The Sadducees most probably derive their name from
SadoTc, a pupil of Antigonus Sochaeus, president of the great
Sanhedrin about 260 years before Christ, who inculcated
upon his scholars the duty of serving God out of pure
love to him, and not in a servile manner, under the fear
of punishment, or with the hope of reward. Sadok, mis-
understanding this spiritual doctrine, concluded that
there was no future state of rewards and punishments ;
and accordingly taught and propagated that error after
his master's death. Hence they held, that *' there is no
resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit" (Mat. xxii. 23.
Ac. xxiii. 8), and that the soul perishes with the body at
death : they rejected aU traditions, adhering strictly to
the letter of Scripture, but preferring the books of Moses ;
and they denied the superintending providence of God,
and held that man enjoyed the most ample freedom of
action, having the absolute power of doing either good
or evil as he thought proper, and having his prosperity
or adversity placed within his own control, being re-
spectively the effects of his wisdom or foUy.
The EssENES probably derive their name from the
Syriac \SD\ •> eso, in Pael «_aXCJ j asi, to heal or cure ; for
Philo calls those who Uved a contemplative life Q)epa~
nevrai, Physicians, not because they studied physic, but
because they applied themselves to the cure of the
diseases of the soul. These Therapeutce were exceedingly
abstemious in their diet, their food being plain and
coarse, and their drink water. Their houses were mean ;
their clothes made of undyed wool, which they never
changed till worn out; and they neglected aU bodily
ornaments, and would not so much as anoint themselves
with oil. They lived in societies, and had all their goods
in common ; they were very exemplary in their morals ;
and were most rigid in their observance of the sabbath.
They held, among other tenets, the immortality of the
soul, (though they denied the resurrection,) the existence
of angels, and a future state of rewards and punish-
ments ; and beheved every thing to be ordered by an
eternal fatality, or chain of causes.
The Stoics were the followers of Zeno, and held that
all hiunan affairs were governed by fate : they denied
the resurrection of the body, and the immortality of
the soul.
The Epicueeans were the followers oiUpicurus; who
acknowledged no gods except in name, and denied that
they exercised any government over the world ; and held
that the chief good consisted in the gratification of the
appetites. They also denied the resurrection of the
body and the immortality of the aovl.
OF THE CHIEF POLITICAL FACTIONS
AMONG THE JEWS.
The Samaeitans, so called from the country they in-
habited, which derived its name from the city of Samaria,
were originally heathens, of various nations, to whom
the king of Assyria gave the cities and lands of the
Israehtes after their captivity. When they first settled
in the country, they practised only the idolatrous rites
of the several nations whence they came ; but afterwards
they incorporated the worship of the true God with the
several customs and modes of worship to which they had
been accustomed ; and while Jehovah was feared, because
of his supposed influence in the land, all the other gods
of the Babylonians, Cuthites, Hamathites, Avites, and
Sepharvites, were paid divine honours. (3 Ki. xvii. 24, &c.)
This monstrous mixture of idolatry with the worship of
the true God continued till after the return of the Jews
from the Babylonian captivity.
The Heeodiaits, rendered in the Syriac version,
fcHDjOJofl AaO>» devaith herodes, "those of the house
(i. e. the domestics) of Herod," most probably derived
their name from Herod the Great; and were distinguished
from the other Jews by concurring with Herod's scheme
of subjecting himself and his dominions to the Romans ;
and likewise by complying with him in many heathen
practices, such as erecting temples with images for
idolatrous worship, bidlding theatres, and instituting
pagan games, and placing a golden eagle over the gate
of the temple of Jehovah. This symbohsing with idolatry,
upon views of interest and worldly pohcy, was probably
the leaven of Herod, against which our Lord cautioned
his disciples. (Mar. riii. 15.) It is also probable, that
the Herodians, in their doctrinal tenets, were chiefly of
the sect of the Sadducees, who were the most indifferent
to rehgion of any of the Jews ; for that which is called
by one evangelist, " the leaven of Herod," (Mar. viii. 15,)
is by another styled "the leaven of the Sadducees."
(Mat. xvi. 6.)
The Galileans, or Gaulonites, were a faction raised
up and headed by Judas the Galilean, or Gaulonite,
against the Roman government, on occasion of the tax
which Augustus levied in Judea, when he reduced it to
the form of a Roman province. He exhorted them to
shake off this yoke, teUing them that tribute was due to
God alone, and consequently should not be paid to the
Romans ; and that rehgious hberty, and the authority of
the divine laws, were to be defended by force of arms.
The Zealots, of which we read so much in Josephus's
account of the Jewish war, if not the followers of Judas,
closely resembled them in their principles and practices.
The Sicaeii, StKootoi, rendered murderers, in Ac. xxi.
38, were properly assassins, who derived their name
from their using poniards like the Roman sices, which
they concealed under their garments, and with which
they privately stabbed the objects of their malice.
THE JEWISH
AMD OTHEB
MEASURES, WEIGHTS, AND COINS,
MENTIONED IN THE SCKIPTUEES.
1. The names of tlie smaller Meamrea of length among
the Hebrews have been borrowed from some of the
members of the human body, as digit, handbreadth, or
palm, span, foot, cubit. The following are the measures
of length mentioned in Scripture : —
1. The digit, or fingerbreadth, y^Vi^. ^tzbci, is said to
contain the breadth of six barleycorns, where thickest,
and equal to 0.912 inch, or rather more than three-
fourths of an inch.
2. The haiidbreadth, or palm, nQt3> tophach, is the
width of a man's four fingers laid flat, i. e. four digits, or
rather more than 3| inches.
3. The span, HIT* zereth, is the measure from the
thumb to the httle finger expanded, equal to three
palms, or about 10 inches.
4. The cubit, nOX> ammah, is the measure of a inan's
arm, from the elbow to the extremity of the middle
finger, equal to about 1 foot 8 inches; though some
compute it at 1 foot 9 inches, and others at 1 foot 6
inches, or even less.
5. The fathom, apyvia, is the distance between the
hands stretched out, mcluding the breast, equal to four
cubits, or about 6 feet 8 inches.
6. The reed, H^p, kaneh, was six cubits and a hand-
breadth, or about 10 feet 10 inches.
7. The stadium, o-toSiov, contained 400 cubits, or about
145 paces, nearly equal to a furlong, or the eighth part
of an English mile.
8. A mile, juiAtov, so called from mille, a thousand,
contained in the East 10 stadia, or about one-fifth more
than an English mile.
II. Of Measures of capacity, some of which were for
liquids, and some for things dry, the following are
mentioned in Scripture : —
1. The log, y^, the smallest measure for liquids, was
one-fourth of a cab, and one-seventy-second of an ephah,
about three-fourths of a pint.
2. The cab, ^p, /cajSo?, was one-sixth of a seah, and
contained 24 eggs, or 85 pints English.
3. The omer, ^Oy, was a measure for things dry (Ex.
xvi. 36), about 6^ pints English.
4. The hin, |\"|, was a measure of liquids (Ex. xxix.
40; XXX. 24, &c.), equal to two Attic choas, i, e. one
gallon and a half English.
5. The seah, HNDj or o-aroi/, was a measure of things
dry, containing ^ of an ephah, and equal to about two
gallons and a half English.
6. The ephah, HQXj '^^ a measure of dry things,
containing three saeta, or seahs, equal to about 7 gallons
and a half EngUsh.
7. The bath, ]^3, or /Saro? (La. xvi. 6), was a measure
of liquids, of the same capacity as the ephah, "the t€nth
part of an homer" (Eze. xlv. 14).
8. The lethech, "Ifl ?, was a measure of dry things, and
contained fifteen seahs, as Epiphanius states, equal to
16 pecks EngUsh.
9. The homer, or chomer, "IJ^Hj a. measure of dry things,
contained ten ephahs (Eze. xlv. 11), equal to 32 pecks,
1 pint, EngUsh.
10. The cor, "^3, or (copo?, was a measure both for
bqmds and soUds, of the same capacity as the homer
(Eze. xlv. 14. Lu. xvi. 7).
Besides these measures, pecuUar to the Hebrews,
there are three others mentioned in the New Testament,
belonging to other nations.
1. The sextarius, or ieorjjs, rendered a pot (Mar. vii.
4), waa a Eoman measure of liquids, equal to about a
pint and a half English.
2. The chcenix, xoivif, rendered a measure (Re. vi. 6),
was a Grecian measure of capacity, about a pint and a
half, corn-measure.
3. The mctretes, /u.e7pr}TT}?, rendered ^riin (Jno. ii. 6),
is supposed to be equal to the Hebrew bath, t. e. about
seven gallons and a half.
III. As the Hebrew Coins were originally Weights,
and as it is by their respective weight that their value
is ascertained, it will be necessary to treat of both at
once.
1. The gerah, m^' rendered apiece of money, was one-
twentieth of a shekel (Ex. xxx. 13), weighing nearly 11
grains, in value about \\d.
2. The beka, yp3, was a half shekel (Ge. ixiv. 22.
Ex. xxxviii. 26), weighing about 4 dwt. 131 grains, in
value rather more than Is. l|i.
3. The shekel, 7pK>, according to which aU the other
weights and coins are computed, has been variously
estimated at from 218 grains and four-sevenths to 273
grains and three-fifths ; and consequently in value from
2s. M. to 3s. Bp. CuJiBEELAND statcs that the weight of
the shekel was half a Roman oimce, or 219 grains, Troy
weight; according to which, supposing the value of
silver to be five shiLUngs an ounce, its value in EngUsh
money must be 2s. Sg^-t?., for which fraction, we may,
for convenience in computation, use f, the difference
being only Uttle more than one-fifth of a farthing.
4. The maneh, H^Dj or mina, in gold was equal in
weight to 100 shekels (comp. 1 Ki. x. 17 with 2 Ch. ii.
17), or about 31b. 9 oz. 1 dwt. 3 grains ; and consequently,
reckoning gold at dS4> an ovmce, was in value rather
more than i6'180. But, in silver, it weighed only 60
shekels (Eze. xlv. 12), or 21b. 3oz. 7 dwt. 12 grains; and
as a coin it was only equal to 50 shekels, or about
£b 14s.
5. The talent, -|")3, kikkar, weighed 3000 shekels, or
1141b. 15 dwt.; and was in value about i6'342 3s. 9ti.
Besides these coins, proper to the Hebrew nation,
the following Greek and Roman coins are mentioned in
the New Testament : —
1. The mite, or Xemov, called by the later Jews ntD1"lQ»
peruta, the eighth, i. e. of an assarium, was equal to half
a quadrans (Mar. xi. 42), or about three-eighths of a
farthing.
2. 'i\iQ farthing, KoSpavrr]9,or quadrans, so called from
quatuor, four, was a Roman brass coin, in value about
three-fourths of a farthing.
3. The assarium, aaaaptov, or as, rendered a farthing
(Mat. X. 29), and called by the Rabbins "11D^i5> »«<"*>
who say that it contained eight mites, was equal to the
tenth part of a denarius, about 3 farthings and one-tenth
of our money.
4. The penny, or denarius, Sr)vapiov, so called because
in ancient times it consisted denis assibics, of ten asses,
was a Roman silver coin, equal to about 7fd. of our
money.
5. The drachma, SpaxM* of Attica, was equal in value
to the Roman denarius (Lu. xv. 8).
6. The didrachma, SiSpaxfiov, or double drachm, ren«
dered by our translators tribute money (Mat. xvii. 24),
was consequently equal to Is. 3^d.
7. The stater, a-Tarqp, a Grecian coin, was, as appears
from Mat. xvu. 27, equal in value to two didrachmas, or
fomr Attic drachms, and consequently to 2«. 7d,

Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came
up against Samaria in the sixth year
of the reign of Hoshea (B.C. 724),
and after a siege of three years,
took the city, carried Israel away
into Assyria, and having removed
them to the cities of Halah and
Habor, by the river Gozan, and into
the cities of the Medes, he placed
Assyrians in the cities of Samaria in
their room.
Ushee's Chronology differs from the Bible Chronology, and from Bishop Mant and Dr. D'Otley, only in
making the reign of Hezekiah commence B.C. 727, instead of 726; and from Dr. Adam Claeke's
Table only in making the reign of Zedekiah commence in B.C. 599, instead of 598.

than any beast of the field which the
Lord God had made. And he said unto
the woman, P Yea, hath God said. Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden ?
2 And the woman said unto the ser-
pent. We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden :
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is
in the midst of the garden, God hath
said,* Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall
ye touch it. lest ye die.
4 And the serpent* said unto the*' wo-
man. Ye shall not surely die :
5 For God doth know that in the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened; and ye shall be as gods, know-
ing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the
tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant ^ to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat ; and gave
also imto her husband with her, and he did
eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were
opened, and they knew that they were
naked:' and they sewed fig leaves toge-
ther, and made themselves v aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord
God walking in the garden in the ^cool
of the day: and Adam and his wife" hid
themselves from the presence of the Lord
God, amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto
Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in
the garden, and I was afraid, p because I
was naked ; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that
thou ^vast naked ? Hast thou eaten of the
tree, whereof I commanded thee that
thou shoiddest not eat ?
12 And the man said,"* The woman
whom thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the
woman. What is this that thou hast done ?
And the woman said. The serpent be-
guiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord GoA said unto the
serpent. Because thou hast done this,
thou art cursed above all cattle, and
above every beast of the field: upon
thy beUy shalt thou go, and "dust shalt
thou eat all the days of thy life :
15 And I will put enmity between thee
and the woman, and between"' thy seed
and* her seed;^ it shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will great-
ly multiply thy sorrow, and thy concep-
tion: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children ; and thy desire shall be X to thy
husband, and he shall" ride over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said. Because
thou hast hearkened unto the voice of
thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of
which I commanded thee, saying. Thou
shalt not eat of it : cursed is the groimd
for thy sake ; in sorrow shalt thou eat of
it aU the days of thy life :
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it
bring V forth to thee; and thou shalt eat
the herb of the field:
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the ground;
for out of it wast thou taken: for dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Eve ; ^ because she was the mother of all
living."
21 Unto Adam also, and to his wife,
did the Lord God make coats of skins,
and* clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said,c Behold,
the man is become as one of us, to know
good and evil : and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and take also of the tree of life,''
and eat, and hve for ever ;
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him
forth from the garden of Eden.^ to till
the ground fi:'om whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man : and he
placed at the east of the garden of Eden,
cherubims,/ and a flaming sword*' which
turned every Avay, to keep the way* of
the tree of life.
CHAPTER ly.
AjfD Adam knew Eve his wife j and she
conceived, and bare ^ Cain, and said, I
have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother ^Abel.
And Abel was ^ a keeper of sheep, but
Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And /*in process of time it came to
pass, that Cain brought' of the fruit of
the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4 And Abel, he also brought' of the
firsthngs of his flock, <^ and of the'' fat
thereof And the Lord had' respect
unto Abel, and to his offering :
5 But unto Cain, and to his offering,
he had not respect. And Cain was very
wroth, and his countenance feU.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why
art thou wroth? and why is thy coun-
tenance fallen ?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not ^ be
accepted? and if thou doest not weU," sin
lieth at the door. And Xunto thee shall
be his desire, and thou shalt rule over liim.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his bro-
ther: and it came to pass, when they
were in the field, that Cain rose up
against Abel his brother, and« slew him.
9 And the Lord said unto Cain/
Where is Abel thy brother ? And he said,
I know not : Am I my brother's keeper ?
10 And he said. What hast thou done ?
the voice of thy brother's ^ blood' crieth
unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the
earth, which hath opened her mouth to re-
ceive thy brother's blood from thy hand :
12 When thou tdlest the ground, it
shall not henceforth yield unto thee her
strength ; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt
thou be in the earth.
13 And Caiu said unto the Lord, My
pmiishment ^ is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out
this day from the face of the earth; and
from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall
be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth ;
and it shall come to pass," tliat every one
that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the Lord said unto him, There-
fore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance
shaU be taken on liim sevenfold. And
the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any
finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain '' went out from the pre-
sence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land
of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife ; and she
conceived, and bare f Enoch : and he

3 And ^they said oue to another, Go
to, let us make brick, and yburn them
throughlj\ And they had brick for stone,
and slime had they for mortar.
4 And they said, Gro to, let us build us
a city, and a tower*^ whose top may reach
tmto heaven ; and let us make us a" name,
lest we be scattered/ abroad upon the
face of the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came downs' to see
the city and the tower, which the children
of men builded.
6 And the Lord said. Behold, the peo-
ple is one, and they have all one lan-
guage ; and tliis they begin to do : and
now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have' imagined to do.
7 G-o to, let us go down, and there cou-
found'^ their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad
from thence upon the face of aU the earth :
and they left off to build the city.

t, he,
and his A^ife, and all that he had, and
Lot with him, into the south. 9
2 And Abram teas very rich,* in cattle,
in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys from
the south even to Beth-el, unto the place
where his tent had been at the beginning,
between Beth-el and Hai ;
4 Unto the place of the altar," which
he had made there at the first : and there
Abram called" on the name of the Lord.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram,
had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 And the land was not able' to bear
them, that they might dwell together : for
their substance was great, so that they
could not dwell together.
7 And there was a strife between the
herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herd-
men of Lot's cattle : and the Canaauite and
the Perizzite dwelled'* then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there
be no strife,* I pray thee, between me and
thee, and between my herdmen and thy
herdmen ; for we Je f brethren. *
9 Is not the whole land before" thee?
separate thyself, I pray thee, from me :
if thou ivilt take the left hand, then I will
go to the right; or if thou depart to the
right hand, then I wiU go to the left.*
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld
all the plain of Jordan, that it loas well
watered every where, before the Loed
destroyed* Sodom and Gromorrah, even
as the garden* of the Loed, like the land
of Eg>T)t, as thou comest unto Zoar.^'
11 Then Lot chose him aU the plain of
Jordan ; and Lot journeyed east : and
they separated** themselves the one from
the other.
12 Abram dwelled iii the land of Ca-
naan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the
plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom loere -nicked,
and sinners J' before the Loed exceedingly.
14 And the Loed said unto Abram, after
that Lot was separated from liim. Lift up
now thine eyes, and look from the place
where thou art, northward, and south-
ward, and eastward, and westward :
15 For all the land which thou seest, to
thee will I give it, and* to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust
of the earth : so that if a man can num-
ber the dust of the earth, then shall thy
seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land, in the
length of it, and in the breadth of it ; for
I win give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and
came and dwelt in the " plain of Mamre,'
which is in Hebron, and built there an
altar unto the Lord.

7 And they returned, and came to Eu-
mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all
the country of the Amalekites, and also the
Amorites, that dwelt^ in Hazezon-tamar.
8 And there went out the king of Sodom,
and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of
Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king
ofBela^ (the same z'^Zoar;) and they join-
ed battle with them in the vale of Siddun,
9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam,
and vnth. Tidal king of nations, and Am-
raphel king of Shmar, and Arioeh king
of Ellasar ; four kings with five.
10 And the vale of Siddim teas full of
slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and
Gomorrah fled, and feU there; and they
that remained fled" to the mountain.
11 And they took aU the goods of
Sodom and Gomorrah, and aU their vic-
tuals, and went their way.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's bro-
ther's son, who dwelt y in Sodom, and
his goods, and departed.
13 And. there came one that had escaped,
and told Abram the Hebrew ;" for he dwelt
in the plain of Mami*e the Amorite, bro-
ther of EshcoL and brother of Aner : and
these tvere confederate vdih Abram.
14 And when Abram _ heard that his
brother was taken captive, he v armed
his ^trained servants, born in his OAvn
house, three hundred and eighteen, and
pursued them^ unto Dan.
15 And he divided liimself against them,
he and his servants, by night, and/ smote
them, and pursued them unto Hobah,
which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back* all the goods,
and also brought again his brother Lotj
and his goods, and the women also, and
the people.
17 And the king of Sodom » went out
to meet him, after his return from the
slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the
kings that were with him, at the valley
of Shaveh, which is the king's' dale.
18 And™ IMelchizedek king of Salem
brought forth bread and wine : and he
was the" priest of the most high** God.
19 And he blessed him, and said. Bless-
ed be Abram of the most high God,^ pos-
sessor of heaven and earth ;
20 And blessed be the most high God,
which hath delivered thine enemies into
thy hand. And he gave him'" titlies of aU.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto
GocVs cooeuant toith Abratn.
GENESIS, XVII.

Abram, Grive me the ^persons, and take

22 And A.bram said to the king of So-
dom, I" have lift up mine hand unto
the Lord, the most high Gfod, the'' pos-
sessor of heaven and earth,
23 That*' I will not take from a thread
even to a shoelatchet, and that I w^ill not
take any thing that is thine, lest thou
shouldest say, I have made Abram rich :
24 Save only that which the young men
have eaten, and the portion of the men
which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and
Mamre ; let them take their portion. '^
CHAPTER XV.
After these things the word of the
Lord came unto Abram in a» vision, say-
ing,* Fear not, Abram: I am thy^ shield,
and thy exceeding™ great reward.
2 And Abram said, Lord GrOD, what
wilt thou give me, seeing I go^ child-
less, and the steward of my house is this
Ehezer of Damascus ?
3 And Abram said. Behold, to me
thou hast given no seed : and, lo, one
born in my house' is mine heir.
4 And, behold, the word of the Lord
came unto him, saying. This shall not be
thine heir ; but ne that shall come forth out
of thine'" own bowels, shall be tliine heir.
5 And he brought him forth abroad,
and said, Look now toward heaven, and
tell the stars,' if thou be able to number
them: and he said unto him," So shall
thy seed be.
6 And he believed in the Lord ; and
he" counted it to him for righteousness.
7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord
that brought thee^ out of Ur of the Chal-
dees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 And he said, Lord God,!/ whereby
shall I know that I shall inherit it ?
9 And he said imto him. Take me an
heifer of three years old, and a she goat of
three years old, and a ram of three years old,
and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 And he took xmto him aU. these,
and divided* them in the midst, and laid
each piece one against another : but* the
birds divided he not.
11 And when the fowls came down upon
the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 And when the sun was going down, a
deep sleep '^ fell upon Abram; and, lo, an
horror of great darkness feU upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a
surety that thy seed shall be a stranger
in a land that is not their's, and shall
serve them; and they shall afflict* them
four hundred years :
14 And also that nation, whom they shall
serve, will \f judge : and afterward shall
they come out with great*' substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in
peace; thou shalt be buried in a good
old age.'
16 But in the fourth generation they
shall come hither again ; for the iniquity
of the Amorites is not yet"» full.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the
sun went down, and it was dark, behold,
a smoking furnace, and '^a burning lamp
that passed between those pieces.
18 In the same day, the Lord made
a covenant with Abram, saying. Unto
thy seed have I given this land, from
the river of Egypt unto the great river,
the river Euphrates :

CHAPTER XVI.
JM OW Sarai, Abram's wife, bare liim
no cliildren : and she had an handmaid,
an* Egyptian, whose name wasf Hagar.
2 Aid Sarai said unto Abram, Behold
now, the Lord^' hath restrained me from
bearing: I pray thee,* go in unto my
maid; it may be that I may 7 obtain
children by her. And Abram hearkened
to the voice of Sarai.
3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar
her maid, the Egyptian, after Abram had
dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan,
and gave her to her husband Abram to
be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she
conceived : and when she saw that she
had conceived, her mistress was'* de-
spised in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My
wrong^ he upon thee : I have given my
maid into thy bosom; and when she saw
that she had conceived, I was despised
in her eyes: the Lord judge" between
me and thee.
6 But Abram said unto Sarai,* Behold,
thy maid is in thy hand ; do to her ^ as it
Eleaseth thee. And when Sarai f dealt
ardly with her, she fled from her face. .
7 And the angel of the Lord found her
by a fountain of water in the wilderness,
by the fountain in the way to Shur.*
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid,
whence camest thou? and whither wilt
thou go? And she said, I flee from the
face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the Lord said unto
her, Return to thy mistress, and* sub-
mit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the Lord said
unto her, I will multiply thy seed ex-
ceedingly, that it shall not be numbered
for multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord said
unto her. Behold, thou art with child,
and shalt bear a son, and shalt call liis
name ^ Ishmael ; because the Lord hath
heard thy afiiiction.
12 And he will be a wild* man; his
hand will he against every man, and
every man's hand against him; and he
shall dwell' in the presence of all his
brethren.
13 And she called the name of the
Lord that spake unto her, Thou* God
seest me: for she said. Have I also here
looked after him that seeth me ?
14^ Wherefore the well was called ^ Beer-
lahai-roi : behold, it is between Kadesh
and Bered.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a sou; and
Abram called his son's name, wliich
Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six
years old, Avhen Hagar bare Ishmael to
Abram.

Almighty God:« walk before me, and
be thou P perfect.
2 And I wiU make my"* covenant be-
tween me and tliee, and wiU multiply
thee exceedingly. , . n j
3 And Abram fell on his face : and
Grod talked with liim, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant ts
with thee, and thou shalt be'' a father ot
many 7 nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be
called Abram, but/ thy name shall be
Abraham;^ fors' a father of many na-
tions have I made thee.
6 And I vnR make thee exceeding
fruitfid, and 1 will make* nations of thee,
and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I Avill estabhsh my covenant be-
tween me and thee, and thy seed after
thee, in their generations, for an everlast-
ing covenant,' to be a Grod unto thee, and
to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to
thy seed after thee, the land f wherein
thou art a stranger, aU. the land of Ca-
naan, for an everlasting™ possession;
and" I will be their God.
9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou
shalt keep my covenant, therefore, thou,
and thy seed after thee, in their genera-
tions.
10 This is my covenant, which ye shall
keep, between me, and you, and thy seed
after thee ; Every man child among you
shall be chcumcised,
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh
of your foreskin ; and it shall be a token i
of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12 And ^he that is eight days old shall
be cii'cimicised among you, every man
child in your generations ; he that is
born*" in the house, or bought \^ath money
of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and
he that is bought with thy money, must
needs be circumcised: and my covenant
shall be in your flesh for an everlasting
covenant.
14 And the uncircumeised man child,
whose flesh of his foreskin is not cii'cum-
cised, that soul shall be cut ofi** from his
people ; he hath broken my covenant.
15 And God said unto Abraham, As
for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call
her name Sarai, but f* Sarah shall her name
be.
16 And I will bless her,'* and give thee
a son also of her ; yea, I will bless her,
and ^ she shall be a mother of nations ;
kings of people shall be of her.
17 Then Abraham fell upon liis face,
and laughed, y and said in his heart.
Shall a child be born unto him that is an
hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that
is ninety years old, bear?
18 And Abraham said unto God, O
that Ishmael might Uve before thee !
19 And God said, Sarah thy vofe shall
bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt
call liis name Isaac : and I wiU estabhsh
my covenant with him for an everlasting
covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard
thee : Behold, I have blessed him, and will
make him fruitfid, and will multiply him
exceedingly :/ twelve princes shall he be-
get : and I wUl make him a great nation.

22 And he left off talking with hun,
and God went up from Abraham.
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son,
and all that were born in his house, and
aU that were bought with his money,
every male among the men of Abraham's
house, and circximcised the flesh of their
foreskin in the selfsame day, as God
had said unto liim.
24 And Abraham toas nmety years old
and nine, when he was circumcised in
the flesh of his foreskin.
25 And Ishmael his son was thii'teen
years old when he was circumcised in
the flesh of his foreskin.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham
circimicised, and Ishmael his son ;
27 And all the men of his house, bom in
the house, and bought with money of the
stranger, were cu-cumcised with him.
CHAPTEE, XVIII.
-AjN"D the LoED appeared unto him in
the '' plains of Mamre : and he sat in the
tent door in the heat of the day :
2 And he lift up his eyes and looked,
and, lo, thi'ee men' stood by him: and
when he saw them, he ran to meet them
from the tent door, and bowed himself
toward the ground,
3 And said. My Lord, if now I have
found favour in thy sight," pass not away,
I pray thee, from thy servant :
4 Let a little ^ water, I pray you, be
fetched, and wash your feet, and rest
yourselves under the tree :
5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread,
and V comfort ye your hearts ; after that
ye shall pass on: for therefore '^are ye
come to your servant. And they said.
So do, as thou hast said.
6 And Abraham hastened into the tent
unto Sarah, and said, ^ Make ready quick-
ly three measures of fine meal, knead if,
and make cakes upon the hearth.
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd,
and fetched a calf tender and good, and
gave it unto _ a young man ; and he
hasted to dress it.
8 And he took butter,* and milk, and
the calf which he had dressed, and set it
before them; and he stood by them
under the tree, and they did eat.
9 And they said xmto him. Where is
Sarah thy wife ? And he said. Behold, in
the tent.
10 And he said, I will certainly return

and, lo, Sarah* thy wife shall have a son.
And Sarah heard it in the tent door,
which was behind him.
11 Now Abrahani and Sarah were' old
and well stricken in age ; and it ceased
to be with Sarah" after the manner of
women.
12 Therefore Sarah * laughed within
herself, saymg. After I am waxed*' old
shall I have pleasure, my* lord being
old also ?
13 And the Lord said unto Abraham.
Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying. Shall
I of a surety bear a child, which am old ?
14 Is any thing too hard for the
Lord?* At the time appointed I will
return unto thee, according to the time
of life, ^ and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed
Abraham's intercession for Sodom. G-ENESIS, XIX.
Lot is sent out of Sodom.
not; for she was afraid. And he said,
Nay, but thou didst laugh.*
16 And the men rose up from thence,
and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham
went with them to bring them on the way.*^
17 And the Lord said. Shall I'^ hide
from Abraham that thing which I do ;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely be-
come a great and mighty nation, and aU the na-
tions of the earth shall be/ blessed in him ?
19 For I know him, that he will com-
mand liis children^ and his household
after him, and they shall keep the way of
the LOED, to do justice and judgment;
that the Lord may bring upon Abraham
that which he hath spoken of him.'
20 And the Lord said, Because the^"
cry of Sodom and Gromorrah is great, and
because their sin is ver-y grievous ;
21 I will go down™ now, and see whe-
ther they have done altogether according
to the cry of it, which is come unto me;
and if not," I will know.
22 And the men turned their faces from
thence, and went toward Sodom ; but
Abraham stood yet before the Lord.
23 And Abraham'' drew near and said,
Wilt? thou also destroy the righteous
with the wicked ?
24 Peradventure there be fifty righte-
ous within the city : wilt thou also de-
stroy and not spare the place for the fifty
righteous that are therein ?
25 That be far from thee to do after this
manner, to slay the righteous with the
wicked : and that the righteous should be
as the wicked, that be far from thee :>" Shall
not the Judge of all the earth do right ?
26 And the Lord said," If I find in So-
dom fifty righteous witliin the city, then I
wUl spare all the place for their sakes.
27 And Abraham answered and said,
Behold now, I have taken upon me to
speak unto the Lord, which «m^' hut dust
and ashes :
28 Peradventure there shall lack five of
the fifty righteous : wilt thou destroy all the
city for lack of five ? Aaid he said. If I find
there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29 And he spake unto him yet again,
and said, Peradventure there shall be
forty found there. And he said, I will
not do it for forty's sake.
30 And he said unto him. Oh let not the
Lord be angry, and I will speak : Perad-
venture there shall tliirty be found there.
And he said, I will not do it, if I find
thirty there.
31 And he said, Behold now, I have
taken upon me to speak unto the Lord:
Peradventure there shall be twenty
found there. And he said, I will not
destroy it for twenty's sake.
32 And he said. Oh let not the Lord be
angry, and I will speak yet but this once :«
Peradventure ten shall be found there.
And he said, I will not destroy it for
ten's sake.fl'
33 And the Lord went his way, as soon
as he had left communing with Abraham :
and Abraham returned unto his place.

13 And his mother said unto him, Upon
me« he thy curse, my son: only obey my
voice, and go fetch me them.
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought
them to his mother : and his mother made
savoury meat,*^ such as his father loved.
15 Ajid Eebekah took P goodly raiment
of her eldest son Esau, which ^oere with
her in the house, and put them upon Ja-
cob her younger son :
16 And she put the skins of the kids of
the goats upon his hands, and upon the
smooth of his neck :
17 And she gave the savoury meat, and
the bread, which she had prepared, into
the hand of her son Jacob.
18 And he came unto his father, and
said. My father: and he said, Here am
I ; who art thou, my son ?
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I
am Esau, thy firstborn;* I have done ac-
cording as thou badest me : arise, I pray
thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy
soul may bless me.
20 And Isaac said unto his son. How
is it that thou hast found it so quickly,
my son? And he said, Because* the
Lord thy God brought it ^to me.
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come
near, I pray thee, that I may feel' thee,
my son, whether thou le my very son
Esau, or not.
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his
father; and he felt him, and said. The
voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands wre
the hands of Esau.
23 And he discerned him not, because
his hands'* were hairy, as his brother
Esau's hands : so he blessed him.
24 And he said, Art thou my very son
Esau? And he said,^ I am.
25 And he said, Bring it near to me,
and I wlU eat of my son's venison, that
my soul may bless thee. And he brought
it near to him, and he did eat: and he
brought him wine, and he drank.
2Q And his father Isaac said unto him,
Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 And he came near, and kissed liim :
and he smeUed the smell of his raiment,
and blessed *■ him, and said, See,* the
smeU of my son is as the smell of a field
which the Lord hath blessed :«
28 Therefore God give thee of" the dew
of heaven, and the fatness of the earth,
and plenty of com and wine :
29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow
down to thee : be lord over thy brethren,
and let thy mother's sons* bow do^vn to
thee: cursed he every one that curseth
thee;^ and blessed he he that blesseth
thee.
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac
had made an end of blessing Jacob, and
Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the
presence of Isaac his father, that Esau
his brother came in from his hunting.
31 And he also had made savoury meat,
and brought it unto his father, and said
unto his father, Let my father arise, and
eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may
bless me.
32 And Isaac his father said imto him,
Who art thou? And he said, I am thy
son, thy firstborn, Esau.
33 AJid Isaac ^<- trembled very exceed-
ingly, and said. Who ? where is he that hath
taken "venison, and brought it me, and I
have eaten of all before® tliou earnest, and
Jacob's life threatened ly Esau. GENESIS, XXIX.

liaye blessed Mm? yea,« and he sliall be
blessed.
34 And wlieu Esau beard the words of
his father, he cried with a great and
exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his
father, Bless me, even me also,* O my
father !
35 And he said, Thy brother came with
subtlety/ and hath taken away thy bless-
ing.
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named
Jacob ?^ for he hath supplanted me these
two times : he took away my birthright ; ^
and, behold, now he hath taken away my
blessing. And he said, Hast thou not
reserved a blessing for me ?
37 And Isaac answered and said unto
Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord,*'
and all his brethren have I given to him
for servants ; and with corn and wine
have I ^sustained him: and what shall
I do now unto thee, my son ?
38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast
thou but one blessing, my father? bless
me, even rne also, O my father ! And Esau
lifted up his voice, and' wept.
39 And Isaac his father answered and
said unto him, Behold, thy dweUing shall
be ^the fatness of the earth, and of the
dew of heaven from above :
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live,
and^ shalt serve thy brother: and it shall
come to pass when thou shalt have the
dominion, that thou" shalt break his
yoke from off thy neck.
41 And EsauP hated Jacob because of
the blessing wherewith his father blessed
him : and Esau said in his heart. The days
of mourning"* for my father are at hand,
then will I slay* my brother Jacob. i
42 And these words of Esau her elder '
son were told to Eebekah. And she sent
and called Jacob her younger son, and
said unto him. Behold, thy brother Esau,
as touching thee, doth'* comfort himself,
purposing to kill thee.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my
voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my
brother,* to Haran :
44 And tarry with him a few days, until
thy brother's fury turn away ;
45 Until thy brother's anger turn away
from thee, and he forget that which thou
hast done to him: then I will send, and
fetch thee from thence. Why should I be
deprived also of you both in one day ?
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am
weary of my life* because of the daugh-
ters of Ileth : if Jacob take a wife of the
daughters of Heth, such as these ivhich
are of the daughters of the land, what
good shall my life do me ?
CHAPTER XXYIII.
JLnD Isaac caUed Jacob, and blessed

thee a wife from thence of the daughters

5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he
went to Padan-aram, unto Laban, son
of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of
Eebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had bless-
ed'' Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-
aram, to take him a wife from thence ;
and that as he blessed him he gave him
a charge, saying. Thou shalt not take a
wife of the daughters of Canaan ;
7 And that Jacob obeyed/ his father and
his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram ;
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters
of Canaan 7 pleased not Isaac his father ;
9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and
took unto the wives which he had, ^Ma-
halath the daughter of Ishmael, Abra-
ham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be
his wife.
10 Ajid Jacob* went out from Beer-
sheba, and went toward 'J Haran.
11 And he Kghted upon a certain place,
and tarried there all night, because the
Sim was set : and he took of the stones of
that place, and put them for l^is pillows,
and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he* dreamed, and, behold, a
ladder set up on the earth, and the top of
it reached to heaven: and,"* behold, the
angels of God ascending and descend-
ing on it.
13 And, behold, the Loed stood above
it, and said, I am the Loed God of Abra-
ham thy father," and the God of Isaac:
the land whereon thou liest, to thee will
I give it, and to thy seed :
14 And thy seed? shall be as the dust of
the earth; and thou shalt ''spread abroad
to the west, and to the east, and to the
north, and to the south: and in thee and
in thy seed* shall all the famihes of the
earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, I am with thee," and
will keep"' thee in aU places whither thou
goest, and will bring thee again* into
this land; for I will not leaved thee,
until I have done that which I have
spoken to thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep,
and he said. Surely the Loed is hi" this
place, and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid, and said. How
dreadftd is this place! tms is none other
but the house of God, and this is the
gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the
morning, and took the stone that he had
f)ut for nis pUlows, and set it up for a pU-
ar, and poured oil'' upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place
Beth-el:^ but the name of that** city
was called Luz at the first.
20 And Jaeob vowed a vow, saying. If
God will be with me,^ and will keep me
in this way that I go, and wOl give me
bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's
house in peace; then shall the/ Loed
be my God :
22 And this stone, which I have set for
a pillar,^' shall be God's house: and of
aU that thou shalt give me, I will surely
give the tenth™ unto thee.

xHEN Jacob '^went on his journev,
and came into the laud of the P people
of the east.

Jacob's ar.
at JPadan-Aniiii.
2 And he looked, and, behold, a well in
the field, and, lo, there were three flocks
of sheep lying by it;* for out of that
well they watered the flocks : and a great
stone ^vas upon the well's mouth.
3 And thither were aU the flocks ga-
thered: and they rolled the stone from
the well's mouth, and watered the sheep,
and put the stone again upon the wells
mouth in his place. , r i
4 And Jacob said nnto them. My bre-
thren, whence be ye? And they said, Of
Haran"* are we.
5 And he said unto them. Know ye
Laban the son of Nahor ? And they said,
We know Jdm.
6 And he said nnto them, yls he
weU?« And they said, He is well; and,
behold, Eachel his daughter cometh with
the sheep.
7 And he said, Lo, ^if is yet high day,
neither is it time that the cattle should
be gathered together: water ye the
sheep, and go and feed them.
8 And they said, We cannot, until all
the flocks be gathered together, and till
they roU the stone* from the well's
mouth ; then we water the sheep.
9 And while he yet spake with them,
Eachel came with her father's sheep:
for she kept them.
10 And it came to pass, when Jacob
saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his
mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban
liis mother's brother, that Jacob went
near, and rolled the stone from the
well's mouth,'" and watered the flock
of Laban his mother's brother,
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted
up Ms voice," and wept.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was
her father's brother," and that he toas
Rebekah's son:? and she ran and told
her father.
13 And it came to pass, when Laban
heard the ^tidings of Jacob his sister's
son, that he ran to meet him, and em-
braced him, and kissed? him, and brought
him to his house. And he told Laban
all these things.
14 And Laban said to him. Surely thou
art my bone'' and my flesh. And he abode
with him ^ the space of a month.
15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Be-
cause thou art my brother, shouldest
thou therefore serve me for nought? tell
me, what shall thy wages be ?
16 And Laban had two daughters : the
name of the elder was Leah, and the
name of the younger tvas Rachel."
17 Leah teas tender eyed; but Rachel
was beautiful and well favoured.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said,
I will serve thee seven years for Rachel
thy younger daughter.
19 And Laban said, It is better that I
give her to thee, than that I should give
her to another man : abide with me.
20 And Jacob served* seven years for
Rachel; and they seemed unto him but
a few days, for the love he had to her.y
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give
me my wife, for my days are fulfilled,
that I may go in imto her.
22 And Laban gathered together aU
the men of the place, and made a feast.*
23 And it came to pass in the evening,
that he took Leah his daughter, and brought

24 And Laban gave unto liis daughter
Leah, Zilpah" his maid, /or an handmaid.
25 And it came to pass, that in the
morning, behold, it toas Leah : and he said
to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto
me ? Did not I serve with thee for Rachel?
Wherefore then hast thou beguiled me ?
26 And Laban said. It must not be so
done in our countrj'-, Pto give the younger
before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week,« and we wiU give
thee this also, for the service which thou
shalt serve with me yet seven other j'ears.
28 And Jacob did so and fulfilled her
week : and he gave him Rachel his
daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daugh-
ter, Bilhah/ his handmaid, to be her maid.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and
he loved also Rachel^' more than Leah,
and served with him yet seven other years.
31 And when the Lord saw that Leah
ivas hated, he'' opened her womb: but
Rachel Wff5 barren.'
32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son,
and she called his name ^Reuben: for
she said. Surely the Loed hath looked'
upon my aflliction: now, therefore, my
husband will love me.
33 And she conceived again, and bare
a son ; and said. Because the Loed hath
heard that I tvas hated, he hath therefore
given me tliis son also: and she called
his name 'J Simeon.
34 And she conceived again, and bare
a son ; and said, Now this time will my
husband be joined unto me, because I
have born him three sous : therefore
was his name called ^ Levi.
35 And she conceived again, and bai'e
a son; and she said. Now wiU I praise
the Loed : therefore she called his name
Judah ; " and ^left bearing.
A CHAPTER XXX.
-A-ND when Rachel saw that she bare
Jacob no children,* Rachel envied' her
sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me
children " or else I die.
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled
against Rachel: and he said. Am I in
God's stead, who hath withheld"' from
thee the fruit of the womb ?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bil-
hah, go in unto her; and she shall bear
upon my knees, that I may also '^have
children by her.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her hand-
maid* to wife : and Jacob went in unto her.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare tfa-
cob a son.
6 And Rachel said, God hath" judged
me, and hath also heard my voice, and
hath given me a son : therefore called
she his name P Dan.
7, And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived
again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 And Rachel said, With <^ great wrest-
lings have I wrestled with my sister, and
I have prevailed : and she called his
name ^ Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left
bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and
gave her Jacob to wife.

cob a sou.

me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.''
15 And she said unto her. Is it a small
matter*^ that thou hast taken my hus-
band? and wouldest thou take away my
son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said,
Therefore he shall lie with thee to night
for thy son's mandrakes.
16 And Jacob came out of the field in
the eveniiig, and Leah went out to meet
him, and said, Thou must come in unto
me; for surely I have hired thee with
my son's mandrakes. And he lay with
her that night.
17 And God hearkened* unto Leah, and
she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
18 And Leah said, God hath given
me_ my hire, because I have given my
maiden to my husband: and she called
his name ^Issachar./
19 And Leah conceived again, and
bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 And Leah said, God hath endued
me with a good dowry : now will my hus-
band dwell with me," because I have
born him six sons: and she called his
name >? Zebulun.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter,
and called her name ^ Dinah.
22 And God remembered » Rachel, and
God hearkened to her, and opened her
womb.
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and
said, God hath taken away* my reproach :
24 And she called his name '' Joseph ;
and said, The Loed shall add to me
another son.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel
had born Joseph, that Jacob said tmto
Laban, Send me away," that I may go
unto mine own place," and to my country.
2Q Give me my wives and my children,
for whom I have served thee, and let me
go: for thou knowest my service^ which
1 have done thee.
27 And Laban said imto him, I pray
thee, if I have found favour? in thine eyes,
tarry: for I have learned by experience
that the Lobd hath blessed me" for thy
sake.
28 And he said. Appoint me thy wages,*
and I will give it.
29 And he said unto him, Thou know-
est how I have served thee,y and how
thy cattle was with me.
30 For it was little which thou hadst be-
fore I came, and it is noto M increased unto
a multitude; and the Loed hath blessed
thee ''since my coming: and now, when
shall I provide for mine own house* also ?
31 And he said. What shall I give thee ?
And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me
any thing : if_ thou wilt do this thing for
me, I will again feed and keep thy Hock :
32 I will pass through all thy flock to
day, removing from thence all the speck-
led and spotted cattle, and all the brown
cattle among the sheep, and the spotted
and speckled among the goats : and of
such shall be my hire.*

33 So shall my« righteousness answer
for me ^in time to come, when it shall
come for my hire before thy face : every
one that is not speckled and spotted among
the goats, and brown among the sheep,
that shall be counted stolen with me,
34 And Laban said. Behold, I would
it might be according to thy word.
35 And he removed that day the he
goats that were ringstraked and spotted,
and all the she goats that were speckled
and spotted, and every one that had some
white in it, and all the brown among the
sheep, and gave them into the hand of
his sons.
36 And he set three days' journey be-
twixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed
the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 And Jacob took him rods of green
poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree ;
and piUed white strakes in them, and
made the wliite appear which was in the
rods.
38 And he set the rods, which he had
pilled, before the flocks in the gutters in
the watering troughs, when the flocks
came to drink, that they should conceive
when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the
rods, and brought forth cattle ring-
straked, J' speckled, and spotted.
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs,
and set the faces of the flocks toward the
ringstraked, and all the brown in the
flock of Laban : and *he put his own flocks
by themselves, and put them not imto
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 conceive
among the rods.
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he
put them not in: so the feebler were La-
ban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 And the man' increased exceedingly,
and had much cattle,"* and maidservants,
and menservants, and camels, and asses.
i CHAPTER XXXI.
iLND he heard the words of Laban's
sons, saying, .Tacob hath taken away all
that tvas our father's ; and of that which
ivas our father's hath he gotten all this
glory. »■
2 And Jacob beheld* the countenance
of Laban, and, behold, it zoas not' toward
him ^ as before.
3 And the Loed said unto Jacob, Re-
turn unto the land of thy fathers, and to
thy kindred; and I will be" with thee.
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel
and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5 And said unto them, I see your fa-
ther's countenance, that it is not toward
me as before ; but the God of my father
hath been with me.*
6 And ye know, that with all my power
I have served" your father.
7 And your father hath deceived me,
and changed my wages'' ten times : but
God suflered him not to hurt me.''
8 If he said thus. The speckled shall be
thy wages ; then all the cattle bare speck-
led : and if he said thus. The ringstraked
shall be thy hire ; then bare all the cattle
ringstraked.
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle
of your father, and given the)n to me.

JacoVs departure.
GENESIS, XXXI.
Ldban's pursuit after Jacob.
10 And it came to pass at the time that
the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine
eyes, and saw in a dream, aiid, behold,
the /3rams which leaped upon the cattle
toere ringstrakcd, speckled, and grisled.*
11 And the angel of God^ spake unto
me in a di*eam, saying, Jacob : and I
said. Here am I.*
12 And he said. Lift up now thine eyes,
and see, all the rams which leap upon
the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and
grisled: for I have seen/ aU that Laban
doeth unto thee. „-„■,■,
13 I am the God of Beth-el,f where
thou anointedst the piUar, and where
thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise,
get thee out from this land, and return'
unto the land of thy kindred.
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and
said unto him. Is there yet any portion or
inheritance for us in our father's house ?
15 Are we not counted of him strangers ?
for he hath sold us,* and hath quite de-
voiu'ed also our money.
16 For all the riches which God hath
taken from our father, that is our's, and
our cluldren's : now then, whatsoever
God hath said unto thee, do.
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his
sons and his wives upon camels ; "•
18 And he carried away all his cattle,
and all his goods which he had gotten,
the cattle of his getting, which he had
gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac
his" father in the land of Canaan.
19 And Laban went to shear his sheep :
and Rachel had stolen the ^ images^
that were her father's.
20 And Jacob stole away ^unawares to
Laban the Syrian, in that he told him
not that he fled.
21 So he fled with all that he had ; and
he rose up, and passed over the river, "■
and set his face* toioard the mount Gilead.
22 And it was told Laban on the third
day, that Jacob was fled.
23 And he took his brethren with him,
and pursued after him seven days' jour-
ney ; and they overtook him in the mount
Gilead.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian
in a dreamy by night, and said unto him.
Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob
either "*) good or bad.
25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now
Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount ;
and Laban with his brethren pitched in
the mount of Gilead.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast
thou done, that thou hast stolen away un-
awares to me, and carried away my daugh-
ters, as captives* taken with the sword?
27 Wherefore didst thou flee away se-
cretly, and ^ steal away from me; and
didst not tell me, that I might have sent
thee away with mirth, and Avith songs, '^
with tabret, and with harp ?
28 And hast not sufiered me to kiss my
sons/ and my daughters? thou hast now
done fooHshly in so doing.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do
you hurt : but the God of your father
spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take
thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob
either good or bad.
30 And now, though thou wouldest
needs be gone, because thou sore loug-
edst after thy father's house, yet where-

CHAPTEE XXXYIII.
-/LND it came to pass at that time, that
Judah \yent down from his brethren, and
turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose
name teas Hirah.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of
a certain Canaanite, whose name %vas
Shuah; and he took her, and went in
unto her.
3 And she conceived, and bare a son ;
and he called his name Er.
4 And she conceived again, and bare a
son ; and she called his name Onan.
5 And she yet again conceived, and
bare a son; and called his name Shelah:
and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er hia
firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
7 And Er, Judah's fii-stborn, was
wicked in the sight of the Loed;' and
the Lord slew him.
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in
unto"* thy brother's wife, and marry her,
and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed should
not be his: and it came to pass, when
he went in unto his brother's wife, that
he spilled it on the ground, lest that
he should give seed to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did ^ displeas-
ed the LoED : wherefore he slew him also.
11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daugh-
ter in law, Eemain a widow at thy fa-
ther's house, till Shelah my son be grown :
for he said, Lest peradventure he die
also, as his bretliren did. And Tamar
went and dwelt in her father's house.
12 And "in process of time the daugh-
ter of Shuah, Judah's wife, died ; and ,Tu-
dah was comforted, and went up unto his
sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his
friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying. Be-
hold, thy father in law goeta up* to
Timnath to shear his sheep.
14 And she put her widow's garments
ofi* from her, and covered her with a vad,
and wrapped herself, and sat in /*an open
^lace* which is by the way to Timnath:
lor she saw that Shelah was grown, and
she was not given imto him to wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought
her to he an harlot; because she had co-
vered her face.
16 And he turned unto her by the way,
and said, Go to. I pray thee, let me come
in unto thee ; (for he knew not that she
was his daughter in law.) And she said,
Wliat wilt thou give me, that thou mayest
come in unto me ?
17 And he said, I will send thee "a kid
from the flock. And she said. Wilt thou
give me a pledge, till thou send it 1
18 And he said. What pledge shall I
give thee? And she said. Thy signet,* and
thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in
tliine hand. And he gave it her, and came
in unto her ; and she conceived by him.
19 And she arose, and went away, and

laid by her vail from lier, and put on the
garments* of her widowhood.
20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand
of his friend the AduUamite, to receive
his pledge from the woman's hand; but
he found her not.
21 Then he asked the men of that place,
saying, Where is the harlot, that xoas
openly ^by the way side? And they said,
There wasno harlot in this place.
22 And he returned to Judah, and said,
I cannot find her; and also the men of
the place said, that there was no harlot
in this place.
23 And Judah said. Let her take it to
her, lest we vbe shamed :«' behold, I sent
this kid, and thou hast not found her.
24 And it came to pass about three
months after, that it was told Judah, say-
ing, Tamar thy daughter in law hath
played the harlot;* and also, behold, she
is with child by whoredom. And Judah
said. Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.'"
25 When she was brought forth, she
sent to her father in law, saying. By the
man, whose these are, am I with child : and
she said, Discern," I pray thee, whose are
these, the signet, and bracelets," and staff.
26 And Judah acknowledged them, and
said, She hath been more? righteous than
I; because that I gave her not to'' Shelah
my son. And he knew her again no* more.
27 And it came to pass in the time of
her travail, that, behold, twins ivere in
her womb.
28 And it came to pass, when she tra-
vailed, that the one put out his hand:
and the midwife took and bound upon
his hand a scarlet thread, saying. This
came out first.
29 And it came to pass, as he drew back
his hand, that, behold, his brother came
out: and she said, ^How hast thou
broken forth? this breach be upon thee:
therefore his name was called i Pharez."
30 And afterward came out his bro-
ther, that had the scarlet thread upon his
hand : and his name was called Zarah.
CHAPTER XXXIX.
And Joseph was brought do^NTi to
EgjT)t ; and Poti]^har,* an officer of
Pharaoh, captain ot the guard, an Egj^p-
tian, bought liim of the hands of the Ish-
meehtes, which had brought him down
thither. , ^ ,
2 And the Loud was with« Joseph, and
he was a prosperous man; and he was in
the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that the Loed
tvas with him, and that the Lord made
all that he did to prosper* iu his hand.
4 And Joseph found grace"^ in his
sight, and he served him: and he made
him overseer'' over his house, and all
that he had he put into his hand.
5 And it came to pass from the time
that he had made him overseer in his
house, and over all that he had, that the
Loed blessed the Egyptian's house ^ for
Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the
Loed was upon aU that he had in tlie
house,'' and in the field.
6 And he left all that he had in Jo-
seph's hand; and he knew not ought he
had. save the bread which he did eat.
And Joseph was a goodly '^ person, and
well favoured.

9 Judah is a lions whelp; from the

ed down, he couched as a lion," and as
an old lion ; who shall rouse him up ?
10 The sceptre* shall not depart from
Judah, nor a lawgiver*' fi'om* between
his feet, xintil Shiloh' come; and unto
him/ shall the gathering of the people be :
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and
his ass's colt* unto the choice vine ; he
washed his garments in wine,* and his
clothes in the blood of grapes :
12 His' e)es shall be red with wine, and
his teeth white with milk.
13 Zebulun" shall dwell at the haven of
the sea; and he shall be for an haven of
ships ; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14 Issachar is a strong ass, couching
down between two burdens :
15 And he saw that rest was good, and
the land that it toas pleasant ; and bowed
his shoulder to bear, and became a ser-
vant imto tribute.
16 Dan*" shall judge his people, as one
of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way,

horse heels, so that his rider shall fall
backward.

O Lord !

21 Naphtah is a hind let loose: he
giveth goodly words.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a
fruitful bough by a well, tvhose s branches
run over the wall.
23 The* archers have sorely^ grieved
him, and shot at him, and hated him :
24 But his bow^ abode in strength, and
the arms" of his hands were made strong
by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob ;
(from thence is the shepherd, '^ the stone"*
of Israel :)
25 I^ven by the God of thy father, f who
shall help thee; and by the Almighty,
who shall bless thee with blessings of
heaven above, blessings of the deep that
lieth under, blessings of the breasts and
of the womb :
26 The blessings of thy father have
prevailed above the blessings of my pro-
genitors, unto' the utmost bound of the
everlasting hiUs:' they shall be on the
head of Joseph, and on the crown of the
head of him that was separate"' from his
brethren.
27 Benjamin shall ravin" as a wolf; in
the morning he shall devour the prey,
and at night he shall divide the spoil.^
28 AH these are the twelve tribes of
Israel: and this is it that their fiither
spake unto them, and blessed them ; every
one according* to his blessing he blessed
them.
29 And he charged them, and said unto
them, I am to be gathered unto my peo-
ple : bury me with my fathers'* in the cave
that is in the field of E]Dhrori the Hittite ;
30 In the cave'' that is in the field of
IMachpelali, which is before Mamre, in
the land of Canaan, which Abraham
bought with the field of Ephron the Hit-
tite for a possession of a buryingplace.

rah his wife: there they buried Isaac and

CHAPTER L.
Jl-ND Joseph fell upon his father's face,
and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants
the physicians to* embalm his father:
and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 And forty days were fulfilled for
him ; for so are fulfilled the days of those
which are embalmed; and the Egyptians
mourned yfor him/ threescore and ten days.
4 And when tl\e days of his mourning
were past, Joseph spake unto the house
of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found
grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in
the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 My father made me swear,* saying,
Lo, I die: in my grave which I' have
digged for me in the land of Canaan, there
shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let
me go up, I pray thee, and bury my fa-
ther, and I will come again.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up and bury thy
father, according as he made thee swear.
7 And Joseph went up to bury his fa-
ther: and with him went up all the ser-
vants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house,
and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 And all the house of Joseph, and his
brethren, and his father's house : only
their little ones," and their flocks, and their
herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 And there went up with him both
chariots and horsemen ; and it was a very
great company.
10 And they came to the threshingfloor
of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and
there they mourned with a great and very
sore lamentation : and he made a mourn-
ing* for his father seven days.
11 And when the inhabitants of the
laud, the Canaanites, saw the mourning
in the floor of Atad, they said. This is a
grievous mourning to the Egyptians :
wherefore the name of it was called
Abel-mizraim, ^ which ^5 beyond_ Jordan.
12 And his sons did unto him accord-
mg as he commanded'* them :

13 For his sons carried him into tiio
land of Canaan, and buried him in the
cave of the field of Machpelah, which
Abraham boiight" with the field for a
possession of a buryingplace of Ei:)hron
the Hittite, before Mamre.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt,
he, and his brethren, and all that went
up with him to bury his father, after he
had buried his father.
15 And v/hen Joseph's brethren saw
that their father*^ was dead, they said,
Joseph will peradventure hate vis, and
will certainly requite us all the evil
which we did unto him.
16 And they ^sent a messenger unto
Joseph, saying, Thy father did command
before he died, saying,
17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive,
I pray thee^ now, the trespass of thy bre-
thren, and their sin ; for they did unto
thee evU : and now, we pray thee, for-
give the trespass of the servants of the
God of thy father. And Joseph wept
when they spake unto him.
18 And his brethren also went and fell
down before his face: and they said, Be-
hold, we he thy servants.
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear
not : for am I in the place* of God ?
20 But as for you, ye thought^ evd
against me; liit God meant'" it unto
good, to bring to pass, as it is this day,
to save much people alive.
21 Now therefore fear ye not : I will
nourish you," and your little ones. And
he comforted them, and spake ^ kindly
unto them.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and
his father's house : and Joseph lived an
hundred and ten j'ears.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's^ chil-
dren of the third generation : the chUdreu
also of Machir? the son of Manasseli
were f brought up upon Joseph's knees.
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren,
I die: and God will surely visit you,*"
and bring you out of this land unto the
land which he sware to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob.
25 And Joseph took an oath* of the
children of Israel, saying, God will surely
visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones
from hence.
26 So Joseph died, heincf an hundred
and ten years old; and they embalmed
him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
The Second Book of MOSES, called EXODUS.
,^ CHAPTEE I.
JN OW these are the names of the chil-
dren of Israel, which came into * Egypt ;
every man and his household came vrith
Jacob. ^ . , -r -1 1
2 Eeuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamm,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 And aU the souls that came out of the
loins ^of Jacob were seventy* souls:
for Joseph was in Eg}T)t already.
6 And Joseph died,* and ail his bre-
thren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruit-
ful, and increased abundantly,/ and mul-
tiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty;
and the land was filled with them.
8 Now there arose up a new king over
Egypt, wlaich knews' not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people. Behold,
the people of the children of Israel are
more and mightier than we :
10 Come on, let us deal wisely' with
them; lest they multiply, and it come to
pass, that, when there falleth out any
war, they join also unto our enemies,
and fight agaiast us, and so get them up
out of the land.
11 Therefore thej^ did set over them
taskmasters, to affiict them* with their
burdens. And they built for Pharaoh
treasure cities, Pithom and' Kaamses.
12 vBut the more they afilicted them,
the more they multiplied and grew. And
they v/ere grieved because of the cliil-
dren of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the chil-
dren of Israel to serve with rigour :
14 And they made their lives « bitter
with hard bondage, in mortar, and in
brick," and in all manner of service in
the field : aU their service, wherein they
made them serve, xt^as with rigour.5
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the
Hebrew midwives : of which the name of
the one xi^as Shiphrah, and the name of
the other Puah ;
16 And he said, When ye do the office
of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and
see tliem upon the stools, if it he a son,
then ye shall kill liim : but if it Je a
daughter, then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared*" Grod, and
did not as the king of Egypt commanded
them, but saved the men children aUve.
18 And the king of Egji^t called for the
midwives, and said unto them. Why have
ye done this thing, and have saved the
men children alive H
19 And the midwives said unto* Pha-
raoh, Because the Hebrew women are
not as the EgjT)tian women; for they are
lively, and are delivered ere the mid-
wives come in luito them.
20 Therefore God dealt well" witli the
midwives : and the people multiplied,
and waxed very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the
midwives feared God, that he" made
them houses.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people,
saying. Every son that is born ye shall
cast into the river, and every daughter
ye shall save alive.

24 And aU the Egyptians digged round
about the river for water to drink ; for they
could not drink of the Avater of the river.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after
that the Lord had smitten the river.
. CHAPTER VIII.
.A.ND the Lord spake unto Moses, Go
unto Pharaoh, and say unto him. Thus
saith the Lord, Let my people go, that
they maj^ serve me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold,
I will smite all thy borders with frogs :
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs
abimdantly, which shall go up and come
into thine house, and into thy bedcham-
ber, and upon thy bed, and into the house
of thy servants, and upon thy people, and
into thine ovens, and into tny Pknead-
ingtroughs ;
4 And the frogs shall come up, both on
thee, and upon thy people, and upon all
thy servants.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
Say imto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand
with thy rod over the streams, over the
rivers, and over the ponds, and cause
frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand
over the waters of Egypt ; and the frogs ^
came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 And the magicians did so with their
enchantments, and brought up frogs
upon the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and
Aaron, and said,* Entreat the Lord, that he
may take away the frogs from me, and from
my people; and I vnll let the people go,
that they may do sacrifice unto the Lord.
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, y Glory
over me : ^when shall I entreat for thee, and
for thy servants, and for thy people ^to de-
stroy the frogs from thee and thy houses,
that they may remain in the river only ?
10 And he said, i To morrow. And he
said. Be it according to thy word; that
thou mayest know that" there is none
like unto the Lord our God.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee,
and from thy houses, and from thy ser-
vants, and from thy people; they shall
remain in the river only.
12 And Moses and Aaron went out
from Pharaoh: and Moses ^ cried unto
the Lord because of the frogs which he
had brought against Pharaoh.
13 And the Lord did' according to
the word of Moses ; and the frogs died
out of the houses, out of the villages,
and out of the fields.
14 And they gathered them together
upon heaps ; and the land stank.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there
was respite, he'" hardened his heart, and
hearkened not unto them ; as the Lord
had said.*
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Say
unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite
the dust of the land, that it may become
lice throughout aU the land of Egypt.
17 And they did so : for Aaron stretched
out his hand with his rod, and smote the
dust of the earth, and it became" Hce in man
and in beast ; all the dust of the land became
lice throughout aU the land of Egypt.
18 And the magicians did so with their
enchantments to bring forth lice, but
they could not:* so there were lice
upon man, and upon beast.
The swarm ofjlies.
EXODUS, IX.
The murrain of beasts.
19 Then the magicians said unto Pha-
raoh. This is the" linger of God: and Pha-
raohs heart was hardened, and he heark-
ened not unto them ; as the Lord had said.
20 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise
\m early in the morning, and stand before
Pharaoh ; lo, he cometh forth to the water ;
and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord,
Let my people go, that they may serve me :
21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people
go, behold, I will send ^ swarms of flies
upon thee, and upon thy servants, and
upon thy people, and into thy houses ;
and the houses of the Egyptians shall be
ftjil of swarms of flies, and also the
ground whereon they are.
22 And I will sever'' in that day the
land of Goshen, in which _my people
dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be
there ; to the end thou mayest know that
I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 And I will put a 7 division between
my people and thy people: ^to morrow
shall this sign be.
24 And the Lord did so : and there came
a grievous swarm of flies into the house of
Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and
into all the land of Egypt ; the land was
corrupted f by reason of the swarm of flies.
25 And Pharaoh called for Moses and
for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to
your God in the land.
26 And Moses said, It is not meet so
to do ; for we shall sacrifice the abomi-
nation* of the Egyptians to the Lord
oxu* God: lo, shaU. we sacrifice the abo-
mination of the Egyptians before their
eyes, and wiU they not stone us ?
27 We will go* three days' journey
into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the
I;0RD our God, as he shalP command us.
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go,
that j^e may sacrifice to the Lord your
God in the wilderness ; only ye shall
not go very far away ;" entreat for me.
29 And Moses said. Behold, I go out
from thee, and I will entreat the Lord
that the swarms of flies may depart from
Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his
people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh
deal' deceitfully any more in not letting
the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh,
and entreated the Lord.
31 And the Lord did according to the
word of Moses ; and he removed the
swarms of flies fi'om Pharaoh, from his
servants, and from his people: there
remained not one.
32 And Pharaoh" hardened his heart
at this time also, neither would he let
the people go.
rp CHAPTER IX.
XHEN the Lord said unto Moses, Go
in unto Pharaoh, and tell him. Thus saith
the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my
people go, that they may serve me.
2 For if thou refuse to let them go,
and wilt hold them still,
3 Behold, the hand of the Lord is
upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon
the horses, upon the asses, upon the ca-
mels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep :
there shall he a very grievous murrain.
4 And the Lord shall sever between
the cattle of Israel, and the cattle of
Egypt : and there shall nothing die of
all that is the children's of Israel.

saying. To morrow the Lord shall do
this thing in the land.
6 And the Lord did that thing on the
morrow, and* all the cattle oi Egypt
died: but of the cattle of the children
of Israel died not one.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there
was not one of the cattle of the IsraeUtes
dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was
hardened, and he did not let the people go.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses and unto
Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of
the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it to-
ward the heaven in the sight ot Pharaoh.
9 And it shall become smaU dust in aU
the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil« break-
ing forth toith blains upon man. and upon
beast, throughout aR the land oi Egypt.
10 And they took ashes of the furnace,
and stood before Pharaoh ; and Moses
sprinkled it up toward heaven ; and it
became a boil breaking forth toith blains
upon man, and upon beast.
11 And the magicians could not^ stand
before Moses because of the boils ; for
the boil was upon the magicians, and
upon all the Egyptians.
12 And the Lord hardened the heart of
Pharaoh, and he hearkened/ not unto them ;
as the Lord had spoken s unto Moses.
13 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise
up early in the morning, and stand before
Pharaoh, and say unto him. Thus saith
the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my
people go, that they may serve me.
14 For I will at this time send all* my
plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy
servants, and upon thy people ; that
thou mayest know that there is none
like me in all the earth.
15 For now I will stretch out my hand,
that I may smite thee and"' thy people
with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut
ofi" from the earth.
16 And in very deed for" this cause
have I braised thee up, for to shew in
thee my power ; and that my name may
be declared throughout all the earth.
17 As yet exaltest thou thyself^ against
my people, that thou wilt not let them go ?
18 Behold, to morrow »■ about this time,
I will cause it to rain* a very grievous
hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since
the foundation thereof even until now.
19 Send therefore now, and gather thy
cattle, and all that thou hast in the field :
for upon every man and beast which shall
be found in the field, and shall not be
brought home, the hail shall come* down
upon them, and they shall die.
20 He that feared the word" of the Lord,
among the servants of Pharaoh, made his
servants and his cattle flee into the houses :
21 And he that ^ regarded «" not the
word of the Lord left his servants and
his cattle in the field.
22 And the Lord said unto Moses,
Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be hail in aU the land of
Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and
upon every herb of the field, throughout
the land of Egypt.
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod
toward heaven ; and the Lord sent
thunder and* hail, and the fire ran along
upon the ground: and the Lord rained
hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled
with the hail, very grievous, such as
The sufferings of JEgj/pt.
EXODUS, X. Hague of locusts, and of darkness.
there was none like it in all the land of
Egypt since it became a nation.
25 And the hail smote throughout all
the land of Egj'pt all that toas in the field,
both man and beast ; and the hail" smote
every herb of the field, and brake every
tree of the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen,* where the
children of Israel ^oere, was there no hail.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for
Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I
have sinned this time : the Loed is right-
eous,'' and I and my people are wicked.
28 Entreat the Loed (for'^ it is enough)
that there be no moi^e V mighty thundei'-
ings and hail ; and I will let you go, and
ye shall stay no longer.
29 And Moses said unto him. As soon
as I am gone out of the city, I will spread
abroad my hands/ unto the Loed ; and
the thunder shall cease, neither shall there
be any more hail ; that thou mayest know
how that the earth is the Lord's, i'
30 But as for thee and thy servants,! know
that ye will not yet* fear the Loed Grod.
31 And the flax and the barley was
smitten;* for the barley toas in the ear,
and the flax zvas boiled.
32 But the wheat and the rye were not
smitten ; for they tvere 5 not grown up.
33 And Moses went out of the city from
Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto
the Loed ; and the thunders and hail ceased,
and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain
and the hail and the thunders were ceased,
he sinned yet" more, and hardened his
heart, he and his servants.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was harden-
ed, neither would he let the children of Is-
rael go ; as the Loed had spoken by v Moses.
* CHAPTER X.
iLND the Loed said unto Moses, G-o in
unto Pharaoh: for I have^ hardened his
heart, and the heart of his servants, that
I might shew these my signs before him :
2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears
of thy son,*" and of thy son's son, what
things I have wrought in Egypt, and my
signs which I have done among them;
that ye may know how* that I am the Loed.
3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto
Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the
Loed G-od of the Hebrews, How long wilt
thou refuse to humble" thyself before me ?
let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people
go, behold, to morrow wiU I bring the
locusts" into thy coast :
5 And they shall cover the " face of the
earth, that one cannot be able to see the
earth : and they shall eat the* residue of
that which is escaped, which remaineth
unto you from the hail, and shall eat every
tree wliich groweth for you out of the field :
6 And they shall fill thy houses, y and the
houses of all thy servants, and the houses
of aU the Egyptians ; which neither thy
fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have
seen, since the day that they were upon
the earth unto this day. And he turned
liimself, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto
him, How long shall this man be" a snare
unto us ? let the men go, that they may
serve the Loed their God: knowest
thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed ?
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought
again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto

them, Go, serve the Loed your God :
but ^ who are they that shall go ?
9 And Moses said, We will go with our
young and with our old, with our sons and
with our daughters, with our flocks and
with our herds will we go : for we must
hold a feast unto the Loed.
10 And he said unto them, Let the
Loed be so with you, as I will let j'ou go.
and your little ones: look to it; for evil
is before you.
11 Not so : go now ye that are men, and
serve the Loed ; for that ye did desire.
And they were driven out from Pha-
raoh's presence.
12 And the Loed said unto Moses,
Stretch* out thine hand over the land of
Egypt for the locusts, that they may come
up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every
herb of the land, even all that the hail
hath left.
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod
over the land of Egypt, and the Loed
brought an east wind upon the land all
that day, and aU that night ; and when it
was morning, the' east wind brought
the locusts.
14 And the locusts^ went up over all the
land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts
of Egjrpt : very grievous toe^'e they; be-
fore them there were no such locusts'" as
they, neither after them shall be such.
15 For they covered the face of the whole
earth, so that the land was darkened ; and
they did eat every herb of the land, and all
the fruit of the trees which the nail had
left : and there remained not any green
thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the
field, through aU the land of Egypt.
16 Then Pharaoh ^called for Moses and
Aaron in haste ; and he said, I have sinned
against" the Loed your God, and against you.
17 Now, therefore, forgive, I pray thee,
my sin only this once, and entreat the
Loed your God, that he may take away
from me this death only.
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and
entreated the Loed.
19 And the Loed turned a mighty
strong west wind, which took away the
locusts, and ^cast them* into the Red
sea ; there remained not one locust in
aU the coasts of Egypt.
20 But the Loed hardened Pharaoh's
heart, so that he would not let the chil-
dren of Israel go.
21 And the Loed said unto Moses,
Stretch out thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be darkness «• over the
land of Egj-pt, ^even darkness tohich
may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand
toward heaven ; and there was a thick dark-
ness in all the land of Egypt three days :
23 They saw not one another, neither
rose any from his place for three days :
but aU the children of Israel had* light
in their dwellings.
24 And Pharaoh caUed unto Moses, and
said. Go ye, serve the Loed ; only let
your flocks and your herds be stayed :
let your little ones also go with you.
25 And Moses said, Thou must /^ give
us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that
we may sacrifice unto the Loed our God.
26 Our cattle * also shall go with us ;
there shall not an hoof be left behind : for
thereof must we take to serve the Loed
our God ; and we know not with what we

must serve the Loed until we come thither.
27 But the Loed hardened* Pharaoh's
heart, and he would not let them go.
28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get
thee from me, take heed to thyself, see
my face no more : "^ for in that day thou
seest my face thou shalt die.
29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken
well,^ I wiU see thy face again no more.
. CHAPTER XI.
JLND the Loed said unto Moses, Yet
will I bring one plague more upon Pha-
raoh, and upon Egypt ; afterwards he
will let you go hence : when he shall let
you go, he shall surely thrust you out
hence ^ altogether.
2 Speak no*v in the ears of the people,
and let every man borrow of liis neigh-
bour, and every woman of her neighbour,
jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
3 And the Loed gave the people^ favour
in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover,
the man Moses ivas very great* in the
land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's
servants, anct in the sight of the people.
4 And Moses said, Thus saith the
Loed, About midnight' will I go out
into the midst of Egypt:
5 And aU the firstborn in the land of
Egypt shaU die,"* from the firstborn of
Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne,
even unto the firstborn of the maidser-
vant that is behind the miU; and all the
firstborn of beasts.
6 And there shall be a great cry" through-
out all the land of Egypt, such as there was
none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
7 But against any of the children of
Israel shall not a dog move liis^' tongue,
against man or beast: that ye may know
how that the Loed doth put a difference
between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 And all these thy servants* shall
come down imto me, and bow down
themselves unto me, saying. Get thee
out, and all the people f that follow thee :
and after that I will go out. And he went
out from Pharaoh in ^ a great anger.
9 And the Loed said unto Moses,
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you ;
that my wonders may" be multiplied in
the laud of Egypt.
10 And Moses and Aaron did aU these
wonders before Pharaoh : and the Loed
hardened'' Pharaoh's heart, so that he
would not let the children of Israel go
out of his land.
CHAPTER XII.
the Loed spake unto Moses and
Aaron in the land of Egypt, sajdng,
2 This* month shall he unto you the
beginning of months : it shall he the first
month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye imto aU the congregation
of Israel, saying. In the tenth day of this
month they shall take to them every man
a «lamb, according to the house of their
fathers, a lamb for an house :
4 And if the household be too little for
the lanab, let him and his neighbour next
unto his house take it according to the
number of the souls : every man, ac-
cording to his eating, shall make your
count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be" without blemish,
a male Mof the first year; ye shall take
it out from the sheep, or from the goats :
6 And ye shall keep it up until the*
fourteenth day of the same month : and

the whole assembly of the congregation
of Israel shall kill it ^ in the evening.*
7 And they shall take of the blood, and
strike it on the two side posts, and on the
upper door post of the houses, wherein
they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that
night, roast with fire, and*^ unleavened
bread ; and with bitter herhs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with
water, btit roast toith fire ; his head with
his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it/ re-
main untn the morning; and that which
remaineth of it untd the morning, ye
shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; ivith your
loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and
your staff in your hand ; and ye shall eat
it in haste ; it is the Loed's passover.
12 For I will pass through the land of
Egypt this night, and will smite all the first-
born in the land of EgjT)t, both man and
beast ; and against all the V gods of Egypt*
I wiU execute judgment : I am the Loed.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a to-
ken upon the houses where ye are : and when
I see the blood, I wiU pass over you, and
the plague shall uotbe upon you to ^de-
stroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be unto you for
a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast"
to the Loed throughout your genera-
tions; ye shall keep it a feast by an or-
dinance for ever.
15 Seven days^ shall ye eat unleavened
bread; even the first day ye shall put
away leaven out of your houses : for
whosoever eateth leavened bread from
the first day until the seventh day,*" that
soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 And in the first day there shall he an
holy* convocation, and in the seventh
day there shall be an holy convocation to
you ; no manner of work shall be done in
them, save that which every 'iman must
eat, that only may be done of you.
17 And ye shall observe the feast of
unleavened bread; for in this selfsame
day have I brought your armies out of
the land 9f Egypt : therefore shall ye
observe this day in your generations by
an- ordinance for ever.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth
day of the month, at even, ye shall eat
unleavened bread, until the one and
twentieth day of the month at even.
19 Seven days shall there be no leaven™
found in your houses : for whosoever eat-
eth that which is leavened, even that soul
shall be cut off from the congregation of
Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born
in the land.
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; iu
aU your habitations shall ye eat un-
leavened bread.
21 Then Moses called for aU the elders
of Israel, and said unto thenij Draw out
and take you a '^lamb accordmg to your
famihes, and kill the passover.^
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop,
and dip it in the blood that is in the ba-
son, and strike* the lintel and the two
side posts with the blood that is in the
bason; and none of you shall go out at
the door of his house untd the morning.
23 For the Loed wUl pass through to
smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth

door, and" avlU not svitFer the destroyer
to come in unto your houses to smite i/ou.
24 And ye sliall observe this tiling for an
ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye
be come to the land which the Loed
will give you, according as he hath pro-
mised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 And it shall come to pass, when
your children shall say unto you,* What
mean ve by this service ?
27 That ye shall say. It is the sacrifice
of the Lord's passover. who passed over
the houses of the children of Israel in
Eg>'pt, when he smote the Egyptians, and
delivered our houses. And the people
bowed the head, and^ worshipped.
28 And the children of Israel went
away, and did as the LoED had com-
manded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 And it came to pass, that at mid-
night, the Lord smote '^ all the firstborn
in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of
Pharaoh that sat on his throne, unto the
firstborn of the captive that loas in the
dungeon ; V and all the firstborn of cattle.
oO And Pharaoh rose up in the night,
he, and all his servants, and all the Egyp-
tians ; and there was a great cry * m
Eg}T)t; for there teas not a house where
there was not one dead.
31 And he called™ for Moses and
Aaron by night, and said, Eise up, and
get you forth from among my people, both
ye and the children of Israel; and go,
serve the Lord, as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as
ye have said, and be gone ; and^ bless me also.
33 And the Egj'ptians were urgent ?
upon the people, that they might send
them out of the land in haste; for they
said, We le all dead men.
34 And the people took their dough
before it was leavened, their ^kneading-
troughs being bound up in their clothes
upon their shoulders.
33 And the children of Israel did ac-
cording to the word of Moses ; and they
borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of
silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment :
36 And the LoRD« gave the people fa-
vour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that
they lent unto them such tilings as they re-
quired : and they spoUed the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel journey-
ed from Eameses"' to Succoth, about''
six hundred thousand on foot, that toere
men, beside children.
38 And va, mixed multitude* went up
also with them ; and flocks, and herds,
even very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes
of the dough which they brought forth
out of Egypt, for it was not leavened ;
because they were thrust out of Egji^t,
and could not tarry, neither had they
prepared for themselves any victual.
40 Now the sojourning of the children
of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was" four
hundred and thirty years.
41 And i^i came to pass at the end of
the four hundred and thirty years, even
the selfsame day it came to pass, that
all the hosts of the Lord went out from
the land of Egypt.
42 It is ^a night to be niuch* observed
unto the Lord for bringing them out
from the land of EgjT)t : this is that night
46
Sanctificatlon of tlie Firstborn,
of the Lord to be observed of all the
children of Israel in their generations.
43 Ajid the Lord said unto Moses and
Aaron, This is the ordinance* of the pass-
over : There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man's servant that is
bought for money, when thou hast*' cir-
cumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 A*^ foreigner and an hired servant
shaU not eat thereof.
46 In one house shall it be eaten: thou
slialt not carry forth ought of the flesh
abroad out of the house ; neither shall
ye break a bone thereof./
47 AH the congregation of Israel shall
keep/3 it.
48 And when a stranger -shall sojourn
with thee, and will keep the passover to
the Lord, let all his males be circum-
cised, and then let him come near and
keep it; and he shall be as one that is
born in the land: for no uncircumcised
person shall eat thereof.
49 One law' shall be to liim that is
homeborn, and unto the stranger that
sojourneth among you.
50 Thus did all the children of Israel:
as the Lord commanded Moses and
Aaron, so did they.
51 And it came to pass, the selfsame'
day, that the Lord did bring the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt"' by
their armies.
. CHAPTER XIIL
-AJND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Sanctify unto me all the" firstborn,
whatsoever openeth the womb among the
children of Israel, both of man and of
beast : it is mine.
3 And Moses said unto the people. Re-
member this"" day, in w^hich ye came out
from Egypt, out of the house of ^ bond-
age; for by strength of hand the Lord
brought you out from this x>lace : there
shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 This day came ye out,* in the month
Abib.
5 And it shall be, when the Lord shall
bring thee into the land of the Canaan-
ites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites,
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which
he* sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a
land flowing with milk and honey, that
thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 Seven days" thou shalt eat unleaven
ed bread, and in the seventh day shalt be
a feast to the Lord.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven
days : and there shall y no leavened bread
be seen with thee; neither shall there be
leaven seen with thee in aU thy quarters.
8 And thou shalt shew thy son" in that
day, saying. This is done because of that
ichich the Lord did unto me when I came
forth out of Eg}T)t.
9 And it shall be for** a sign unto thee
upon thine hand, and for a memorial be-
tween tliine eyes ; that the Lord's law may
be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand
hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordi-
nance'* in his season from year to year.
11 And it shall be, when the Lord
shall bring thee into the land of the Ca-
naanites, as he sware unto thee and to
thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 That thou shalt "set apart unto the
Lord all that openeth the matrix, and
every firstling that cometh of a beast which

13 And every firsthng of an as3 thou

14 And it shall be, when thy son" ask-
eth thee 7 in time to come, saying, What

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh
would hardly let us go, that the Lokd slew
all the firstborn in the land of Eg5T)t, both
the firstbom of man, and the firstborn of
beast : therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all
that openeth the matrix, being males ; but
all the firstborn of m^ children I redeem.
16 And it shall be for a token upon thine
hand, and for frontlets between thine

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh
had let the people go, that God led them
not through the way of the land of the
Philistines, although that xoas near; for
God said. Lest peradventure the people i"
repent when they see war, and they
return* to Egypt :
18 But God' led the people about,
through the way of the wilderness of the
Eed sea. And the children of Israel went
up ^harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph
with him; for he had straitly sworn the
children of Israel, saying,* God will
surely visit you ; and ye shall carry up
my bones away hence with you.
20 And they took their journey' from
Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the
edge of the wilderness.
21 And the Loed went before them"' by
day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the
way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to
give them light ; to go by day and night :
22 He took not away the pillar of the
cloud by day, nor the pillar of fii-e by
night, /row before the people.
» CHAPTER XIY.
J\.ND the Loed spake unto Moses,
sajdng,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that
they tm-n and encamp before" Pi-hahiroth,
between^ Migdol and the sea, over against
Baal-zephon: befoi*e it shall ye encamp
by the sea.
3 Eor Pharaoh will say of the children
of Israel,^ They are entangled in the land,
the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden* Pharaoh's hearty
that he shall follow after them : and I will
be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all
his host; that the Egyptians may know
that I am the Loed. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that
the people fled : and the heart of Pharaoh
and of his servants was turned" against
the people, and they said, Why have we
done this, that we have let Israel go
from serving us ?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and
took his people with him :
7 And he took six hundred chosen
chariots,"' and all the chariots of Egypt,
and captains over every one of them.
8 And the Loed hardened the heart of
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued
after the children of Israel : and the child-
ren of Israel went out with an high* hand.

9 But the EgjT)tian3 pursued after them,
all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh,
and his horsemen, and his army, and over-
took them encamping by the sea, beside
Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the
children of Israel lifted up theu' eyes, and,
behold, the Egyptians marched after them ;
and they were sore* afraid : and the child-
ren of Israel cried out unto the Loed.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because
there loere no graves in Egypt, hast thou
taken us away to die in the wilderness?
wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us,
to carry us forth out of Egypt ?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell
thee in" Egypt, saying. Let us alone, that
we may serve the Egyptians? Eor it had
been better for us to serve the Egyptians,
than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people,
Fear ye not,* stand still, and see the sal-
vation of the Loed, which he will shew
to you to day: ^for the Egyiitians whom
ye have seen to daj% ye shall see them
again no more for ever.
14 The Loed shall fight/ for you, and
ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the Loed said unto Moses, Where-
fore criest thou unto me ? speak unto the
children of Israel, that they go forward :
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch
out thine hand over the sea, and divide
it ; and the children of Israel shall go on
di-y ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the
hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall
follow them: and I will get me honour
upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon
his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that
I am the Loed, when I have gotten me
honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots,
and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel" of God, which went
before the camp of Israel, removed and
went behind them; and the pillar of the
cloud went from before their face, and
stood behind them :
20 And it came between the camp of
the Egyptians and the camp of Israel ; and
it was a cloud and darkness to them, but
it gave hght by night to these : so that the
one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand
over the sea; and the Loed caused the
sea to go back by a strong east wind all
that night, and made the sea"" di-y land,
and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into
the midst* of the sea upon the diy ground :
and the waters ivere a wall unto them on
their right hand and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went
in after them to the midst of the sea, even
all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his
horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morn-
ing watch the Loed looked unto the host
of the Egyptians through the pillar of fii-e
and of the cloud, and troubled the host
of the Egyptians,
25 And took ofi* their chariot wheels,
that ^they drave them heavily: so that
the Egyptians said. Let us flee from the
face of Israel: for the Loed fighteth for
them against the Egj'ptians.
26 Aiid the Loed said unto Moses,
Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that
TnimpTiant Song of Israel.
EXODUS, XV
the watera may come again upon the
Eg}'T)tians, upon their chariots, and upon
their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand
over the sea, and the sea retvirned to his
strength whenthemorning appeared ; and the
Egyptians iled against it ; and the Lord over-
threw ^ the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the Avaters returned, and co-
vered* the chariots, and the horsemen,
and all the host of Pharaoh that came
into the sea after them: there remained
not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked
upon dry land in the midst of the sea;
and the waters tvere a wall unto them on
their right hand, and on their left.
oO Thus the Lord saved Israel that day
out of the hand of the Egj^tians ; and Israel
saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great ywork
which the Lord did upon the Egyptians :
and the people feared the Lord, and be-
lieved^ the Lord, and his servant Moses.
rr, CHAPTER XV.
XHEN sang* Moses and the children of
Israel this song imto the Lord, and spake,
saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he
hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and
his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength and"* song,
and he is become my salvation: he is my
God, and I will prepare him an" habita-
tion ; my father's Grod, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a man of" war: the
Lord is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath
he cast into the sea: his chosen captains
also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they
sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand,' O Lord, is become
glorious in power: thy right hand, O
Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 Ajid in the greatness of thine'' excellen-
cy thou hast overthrown them that rose
up against thee: thou sentest forth thy
wrath, which consumed them" as stubble.
8 And with the blast of* thy nostrils the
waters were gathered together: the floods
stood upright as an heap, and the depths
were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will
overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust
shall be satisfied upon them ; I will draw
my sword, my hand shall f destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow withy thy wind,
the sea covered them: they sank as lead
in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like" unto thee, O Lord,
among the 'Jgods? who is like thee,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
doing wonders ?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand,
the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast* led forth
the people which thou hast redeemed:
thou hast guided them in thy strength
unto thy holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be
afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the
inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be
amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trem-
bling shall take hold upon them: all the
inhabitants of Canaan shall melt/ away.
16 Fear and dread shaU*' fall upon them :
by the greatness of thine arm they shall
be as still* as a stone ; till thy people pass

in law* before God.
13 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Moses sat to judge the people: and
the people stood by Moses from the
morning unto the evening.
14 And when IMoses' father in law saw
all that he did to the people, he said,
What is this thing that thou doest to the
people? why sittest thou tliyself alone,
and aU the people stand by thee from
morning unto even ?
15 And Moses said imto his father in
law. Because the people come unto*' me
to inquire of God :
16 When they have a matter, they come
unto me ; and I judge between V one and
another ; and I do make them know the
statutes of God, and his laws.
17 And Moses' father in law said imto
him. The thing that thou doest is not good.
18 Thou ^wilt surely wear away, both
thou, and this people that is with thee:
for this thing is too heavy '^ for thee ; thou
art not able to perform it thyself alone.
19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will
give thee counsel, and God shall be with
thee: Be thou for the people-'' to God-
ward, that thou mayest bring the causes
unto God :
20 And thou shalt teach thems' ordi-
nances and laws, and shalt shew them
the way wherein they must walk, and
the work that they must do.
21 Moreover, thou shalt provide out of
all the people able men, such as' fear
God, men of truth, hating covetousness :
and place stich over them, to he rulers of
thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers
of fifties, and rulers of tens :
22 And let them judge the people at all
seasons : and it shall be, that every great
matter they shaU bring unto thee, but
every small matter they shall judge : so
shall it be easier for thyself, and they
shall bear the hurden^ with thee.
23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God
command' thee so, then thou shalt be
able to endure, and all this people shall
also go to'" their place in peace.
24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his
father in law, and did all that he had said.
25 And Moses chose able men out of all
Israel, and made them heads over the
people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hun-
dreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
26 And they judged the people at aU
seasons : the hard causes they brought
unto Moses, but every small matter they
judged themselves.
27 And Moses let his father in law de-
part : and^ he went his way into his own land.
-J- CHAPTER XIX.
J-N the third month, when the children
of Israel were gone forth out of the land
of Egypt, the same day came they into
the wilderness « of Sinai.
2 For they Avere departed from' Eephi-
dim, and were come to the desert of Sinai,
and had pitched in the wilderness ; and
there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the
Loed called unto him out of the mountain,
saying. Thus shalt thou say to the house
of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel :
4 Ye have seen what I did' unto the
Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles*
wings,!' and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my
voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then

ye sliall be a peculiar « treasure unto me
above all people : for all the earth is mine.
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom
of priests,* and an holy nation. These
are the words which thou shalt speak
unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came, and called for the
elders of the people, and laid before their
faces all these words which the Loed
commanded liim.
8 And aU the people answered toge-
ther, and said. All/ that the Loed hath
spoken we will do. And Moses returned
the words of the people unto the Loed.
9 And the Loed said unto Moses, Lo,
I come unto thee^ in a thick cloud, that
the people may hear when I speak with
thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses
told the words of the people unto the Loed.
10 And the Loed said unto Moses, Gro
unto the people, and sanctify ' them to day and
to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day : for
the third day the Loed will come" down in
the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the
people round about, saying, Take heed
to yourselves, that ye go not up into the
mount, or touch the border of it : whoso-
ever toucheth*" the mount shall be surely
put to death :
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but
he shall surely be stoned, or shot through ;
whether it he beast or man, it shall not
live: when the V trumpet soundeth long,
they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the
mount unto the people, and sanctified the
people ; aad they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people. Be
ready against the thii'd day: come" not
at your wives,
16 And it came to pass on the third day,
in the morning, that there were thunders
and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon
the mount, and the voice of the trumpet
exceeding loud; so that aU the people
that ivas in the camp J' trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people
out of the camp to meet with God ; and they
stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on
a smoke, because the Loed descended
upon it« in fire: and the smoke thereof
ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and
the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet
sounded long, and waxed louder and
louder, Moses spake, and Grod answered
him by a voice.
20 And the Loed came down/ upon
mount Sinai, on the top of the mount:
and the Loed called Moses up to the top
of the mount ; and Moses went up.
21 And the Loed said unto Moses, Gro
down, S charge the people, lest they
break through unto the LoEDS' to gaze,
and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also, which come
near to the Loed, sanctify themselves,
lest the Loed break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the Loed, The
people cannot come up to mount Sinai:
for thou chargedst us, saying. Set bounds
about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 And the Loed said unto liim. Away,
get thee down; and thou shalt come up,
thou, and Aaron with thee; but let not
the priests and the people break through

Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the
elders of Israel ;
10 And they saw'' the God of Israel : and
there ivas under his feet as it were a paved
work of a'^ sapphire stone, and as it were
the body of heaven^ in Ms clearness.
11 And upon the nobles of the children
of Israel he laid not his hand : also they
saw God, and did eat* and drink.
12 And the Loed said unto Moses, Come
up to me into the* mount, and be there :
and I will give thee tables "' of stone, and
a law, and" commandments which I have
written ; that thou mayest teach them. _
13 And Moses rose up, and his minis-
ter Joshua ; and Moses Avent up into the
mount of God.
14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry
ye here for us, until we come again unto
you : and, behold, Aaron and Hur are
with you ; if any man have any matters
to do, let him come unto them.
15 And Moses went up into the moimt,
and a cloud* covered the mount.
16 And the glory" of the Loed abode
upon mount Sinai, and the cloud cover-
ed it six days : and the seventh day he
called unto Moses out of the midst of
the cloud.
17 And the sight of the glory of the
Loed ivas like" devouring fire on the
top of the mount in the eyes of the chil-
dren of Israel.
18 And Moses Avent into the midst of
the cloud, and gat him up into the
mount; and Moses was in the mount J'
forty days and forty nights.
. CHAPTER XXY.
.j^ND the Loed spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
that they Skiing me an goffering: of
every man that giveth it willingly ° with
his heart ye shall take my offering.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall
take of them ; gold, and silver, and brass,
4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and "n fine linen, and goats' hair.,
5 And rams' skins dyed red, and bad-
gers' skins, and shittim wood,
6 on for the light, spices for anointing
oil, and for sweet incense,
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in
the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary ;
that I may dweUfl' among them.
9 According to all that I shew* thee,
after the pattern of the tabernacle, and
the pattern of all the instruments there-
of, even so shall ye make it.
_ 10 And they shall make an ark ^ of shit-
tim wood : two cubits and a half shall be
the length thereof, and a cubit and a half
the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a
half the height thereof.
11 And thou shalt overlay it Avith pure

shalt-'' anoint them, and V consecrate
them,^ and sanctify them, that they may
minister xmto me in the priest's office.
42 And thou shalt make them' linen
breeches to cover ^ their nakedness; from
the loins even unto the thighs they shall

43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and
upon his sons, when they come in unto the
tabernacle of the congregation, or when

untoP thep to hallow them, to minister
unto me in the priest's office : Take one
young bullock, and two rams without
blemish,

unleavened tempered with oil, and wa-

wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
3 And thou shalt put them into one

10 And thou shalt cause a bullock to be

Aaron and his sons shall put their hands
upon the* head of the ram.
16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and
thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it
round about upon the altar.
17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces,
and wash the inwards of him, and his legs,
and put them unto his pieces, and ^ unto his
head.
18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram
upon the altar: it is a burnt ofiering unto
the LoED : it is a * sweet savour, an of-
fering made by fire unto the Lord.
19 And thou shalt take the^ other ram,
and Aaron and his sons shall put their
hands upon the head of the ram.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and
take of his blood, and put it^ upon the tip
of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the
tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon
the thumb of their right hand, and upon
the great toe of their right foot, and sprin-
kle the blood upon the altar round about.
21 And thou shalt take of the blood that
is upon the altar, and of the anointing" oil,
and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his
garments, and upon his sons, and upon the
garments of his sons with him: and he
shall be hallowed, and his garments, and
his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the
fat and the rump, and the fat that cover-
eth the inwards, and the caul above the
liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat
that is upon them, and the right shoul-
der ; for it is a ram of consecration.
23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake
of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the
basket of the unleavened bread that is
before the Lord :
24 And thou shalt put all in the hands
of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons ;
and shalt "n wave them for a* wave ofier-
ing before the Lord.
25 And thou shalt receive them of
their hands, and burn them upon the altar
for a burnt ofifering, for a" sweet savour
before the Lord : it is an ofiering made
by fire unto the Lord.
26 And thou shalt take" the breast of
the ram of Aaron's consecration, and
wave it for a wave ofiering before the
Lord : and it shall be thy part.
27 And thou shalt sanctify 2/ the breast
of the wave ofieriug, and the shoulder
of the heave offering, which is waved,
and which is heaved up, of the ram of
the consecration, even of that which is for
Aaron, and of that which is for his sons :
28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'
by a statute for ever from the children of
Israel ; for it is an heave ofiering : and it
shall be an heave ofiering fi*om the chil-
dren of Israel of the sacrifice of their
peace ofierings, eveti their heave offering
unto the Lord.
29 And the holy garments of <^ Aaron
shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed
therein, and to be consecrated in them.
30 And ^that son that is priest in his
stead shall put them on*^ seven days, when
he Cometh into the tabernacle of the con-
gregation, to minister in the holy place.
31 And thou shalt take the ram of the
consecration, and seethe his fiesh in the
holy place.
32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the
fiesh of the ram, and the/ bread that is in
the basket, hj the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation.
33 And they shall eat* those things
wherewith the atonement was made, to
consecrate and to sanctify them: but a
stranger shali'^ not eat thereof because
they are holy.
34 And if ought of the flesh of the
consecrations, or of the bread, remain
imto the morning, then thou shalt/ burn
the remainder with fire: it shall not be
eaten, because it is holy.
35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron,
and to his sons, according to all things
which I have commanded thee: seven
days shalt thou consecrate them.
36 And thou shalt oifer^ every day a
bullock for a sin offering for atonement :
and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when
thou hast made an atonement for it, and
thou shalt anoint it,' to sanctify it.
37 Seven days thou shalt make an
atonement for the altar, and sanctify it;
and it shall be an altar most holy: what-
soever™ toucheth the altar shall be holy.
38 Now this is that which thou shalt
offer upon the altar;" two lambs of the
first j^ear, day by day continually.
39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the
morning, and the other lamb thou shalt
offer at even :
40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal
of flour mingled with the fourth part of
an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part
of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer
at even, and shalt do thereto according
to the meat offering of the morning, and
according to the drink offering thereof,
for a sweet savour, an offering made by
fire unto the Loed.
42 This shall he a continual burnt offer-
ing throughout your generations, at the
door of the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion, before the Lord; where I will''
meet you, to speak there unto thee.
43 And there I will meet with the chil-
dren of Israel, and « the tabernacle shall
be sanctified* by my glory.
44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of
the congregation, and the altar: I will
sanctify also both Aaron and his eons, to
minister to me in the priest's ofiice.
45 And I will^' dwell among the chil-
dren of Israel, and wiU be their God.
46 And they shall know that" I am the
LoKD their Grod, that brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell
among them : I am the Lord their Grod.

make it.
2 A cubit shall he the length thereof,
and a cubit the breadth thereof; four-

6 And thou shalt put it before the" vail
that is by the ark of the testimony, before
the<^ mercy seat that is over the testi-
mony, where I will meet with thee.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon ^ sweet
incense^ every morning: Avhen he dresseth
the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
8 And when Aaron vlighteth the lamps
at Seven, he shall burn incense upon it;
a perpetual incense before the Loed
throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no^' strange incense
thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat
offering; neither shall ye pour drink
offering thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make an atonement
upon the horns of it^ once in a year with
the blood of the sin offering of atone-
ments : once in the year shall he make
atonement upon it, throughout your ge-
nerations : it is most holy unto the Loed.
11 And the Loed spake unto Moses,
saying,
12 When thou takest the"' sum of the
cluldren of Israel, after ^ their number,
then shall they give every man aP ransom
for his soul unto the Loed, when thou
numberest them; that there be no? plague
among them when thou numberest them.
13 This they shall give, every one that
Easseth among them that are numbered,
alf a shekel after the shekel of the sanctu-
ary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half
shekel shall he the offering of the Loed.
14 Every one that passeth among them
that are numbered, from twenty years
old and above, shall give an offering
unto the Loed.
15 The rich shall not "^ give more, and the
poor shall not ^ give less, than half a shekel,
when they give an offering unto the Loed,
to make an atonement for your souls.
16 And thou shalt take the atonement
money of the children of Israel, and shalt
appoint it for the service of the taber-
nacle of the congregation ; that it may be
a memorial unto the children of Israel
before the Loed, to make an atonement
for your souls.
17 And the Loed spake unto Moses,
saving,
18 Thou shalt also make a* laver of
brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash
loithal: and thou shalt put it between the
tabernacle of the congregation and the
altar, and thou shalt put water therein :
19 For Aaron and his sons shall ""wash
their hands and their feet thereat.
20 When they go into the tabernacle of
the congregation, they shall wash with
water, that they die not: or when they
come near to the altar to minister, to burn
offering made by fire unto the Loed :
21 So they shall wash their hands and
their feet, that they die not: and it shall be
a statute for ever to them, even to liim and
to his seed throughout their generations.

11 And the anointing oil, and sweet in-
cense for the holy ]jI ace : accordmg to all
that I have commanded thee shaU they do.
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of
Israel, saying, Verily my*' sabbaths ye
shall keep: for it is a'' sign between me
and you throughout your generations ;
tliat 1/e may know that I am the Lord
that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep/ the sabbath therefore,
for it is holy unto you : every one that de-
fileth it shall surely be put to death: for
whosoever^' doeth any work therein, that
soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but
in the seventh is the sabbath of rest,
holy 7 to the Loed: whosoever doeth
a7iy work in the sabbath day, he* shall
surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel
shall keep the sabbath, to observe the
sabbath throughout their generations, for
a perpetual covenant.
17 It w* a sign between me and the chil-
dren of Israel for ever : for iii^ six days the
Loed made heaven and earth, and on the
seventh day he rested, and was'* refreshed.
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had
made an end of communing with him upon
mount Sinai," two tables of testimony, ta-
bles of stone, written with the finger of God.
A CHAPTER XXXII.
-A-ND when the people saw that Moses
delayed^ to come down out of the mount,
the people gathered themselves together
unto Aaron, and said unto him. Up, make
us gods,*" which shall go before us ; for as
for this Moses, the man that brought us
up out of the land of Egypt,* we wot
not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break
off the* golden earrings, which are in the
ears of your wives, of your sons, and of
your daughters, and bring them imto me.
3 And all the people brake off the gold-
en earrings which were in their ears,
and brought them unto Aaron.
4 And he received thejn at their hand,
and fashioned it with a graving tool, after
he had made it a* molten calf: and they
said. These be thy gods, O Israel, which
brought thee up out of the land of Egy'pt.
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an
altar before it; and Aaron made* pro-
clamation, and said, To morrow ts a
feast to the Lord.
6 And they rose up early on the morrow,
and offered burnt offerings, and brought
peace offerings ; and the people " sat down
to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go,
get thee down; for thy people, which
thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt,
have* corrupted themselves :
8 They have turned aside quickly out
of the way which I commanded them:
they have made them a molten calf, and
have worshipped it, and have sacrificed
thereunto, and said, These be thy gods,
O Israel, which have brought thee up out
of the land of Egypt.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I
have seen this people, and, behold,/ it
is a stiffnecked people :
10 Now therefore let me alone, that my
wrath mays' wax hot against them, and
Moses hrealcetli the Tables.
EXODUS, XXXIII.
He intercedes for the people.
I wiU
tliafc I may cousume tliem ; and
make of thee a great nation.
11 And Moses besought ^the Loed his
God, and said, Lord, why* doth thy wrath
wax hot against thy people, which thou
hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt
with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Wherefore should the^ Egyptians
speak and say, For mischief did he bring
them out, to slay them in the mountains,
and to consume them from the face of the
earth? Turn fromf' thy fierce wrath, and
repent^ of this evil against thy people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Is-
rael, thy servants, to whom thou* swarest
by thine own self, and saidst unto them,
I will multiply your seed as the stars of
heaven; and all this land that I have
spoken of will I give unto your seed, and
they shall inherit it for ever.
14 And the Lord" repented of the evil
which he thought to do unto his people.
15 And Moses turned, and went down
from the mount, and the two tables of the
testimony loere in his hand : the tables loere
written on both their sides : on the one
side and on the other were they written.
16 And the tables ivere the work of
Grod, and the writing ^vas"^ the writing of
God, graven upon the tables.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of
the people as they shouted, he said unto
Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 And he said. It is not the voice of them
that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice
of them that cry for ^ being overcome;
hut the noise of them that sing do I hear.
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he
came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the
calt^ and the dancing : and Moses' anger
waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his
haiids, and brake them beneath the mount.
20 And he took the calf which they had
made, and* burnt it in the fire, and ground
it to powder, and strawed it upon the water,
and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron,* What
did this people unto thee, that thou hast
brought so great a sin upon them ?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger
of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the
people, that they are set^ on mischief.
23 Eor they said unto me,"" Make us
gods, which shall go before us : for as for
this Moses, the man that brought us up
out of the land of Egypt, we wot not
what is become of him.
24 And I said unto them. Whosoever
hath any gold, let them break ^Y off. So
they gave it me : then I cast it into the
fire,y and there came out this calf.
23 And when Moses saw that the peo-
ple were naked ; (for Aaron had made
them naked/ vmto their shame among
their ^enemies,)
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the
camp, and said. Who is on the Lord's
side? let him come unto me. And all the
sons of Levi gathered themselves toge-
tlier unto him.
27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the
Lord God of Israel, Put every man his
sword by his side, and go in and out from
gate to gate throughout the camp, and* slay
every man his brother, and every man his
companion, and every man his neighbour.
28 And the children of Levi'* did according
to the word of Moses : and there fell of the
people that day about three thousand men.

30 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Moses said unto the people, ** Ye
have sinned a great sin : and now I will
go up unto the Lord ; peradventure I
shall/ make an atonement for your sin.
31 And Moses returned unto the Lord,
and said, Oh, this people have sinned a
great sin, and have made them' gods of gold ;
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their
sin — ; and if not,' blot me, I pray thee, out

33 And the Lord said unto Moses,
AVhosoever hath sinned against me," him
will I blot out of my book.
34 Therefore now go, lead the people un-
to the place of which I have spoken unto
thee : behold, mine Angela shall go be-
fore thee : nevertheless in the day when I

35 And the Lord plagued the people,
because they made the calf, which Aaron
made.
. CHAPTEE XXXIII.
_/\-ND the Lord said unto Moses, De-
part, and go up hence, thou and the peo-
ple which thou hast brought up out of the
land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware
unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
saying. Unto tliy seed will I give it :
2 And I will send an angel before thee ;
and I will drive out the Canaanite, the
Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Periz-
zite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite :
3 Unto a land flowing with milk and
honey: for I will not go up in the midst
of thee ; for thou art a stifihecked people ;
lest I consume thee in the way.
4 And when the people heard these
evil tidings, they mourned ; and no man
did put on him his ornaments.
5 For the Lord had said unto Moses,
Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a
stiffhecked people : I will come up into
the midst of thee in a moment, and con-
sume thee : therefore now put: off"" thy
ornaments from thee, that I may know
what to do unto thee.
6 And the children of Israel stripped
themselves of their ornaments by the
mount Horeb.
7 And Moses took the* tabernacle, and
pitched it without the camp, afar off' from
the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of
the congregation. And it came to pass,
that every one which sought the Lord
went out unto the tabernacle of the con-
gregation, which toas without the camp.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went
out unto the tabernacle, that all the peo-
ple rose up, and stood every man at his
tent door, and looked after Moses, until
he was gone into the tabernacle.
9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered
into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar de-
scended, and stood at the door of the taber-
nacle, and the LORB'^ talked with Moses.
10 And all the people saw the cloudy
pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and
all the people rose up and worshipped,
every man in his tent door.
11 And the Lord spake unto'' Moses face
to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.
And he turned again into the camp : but
his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young

God^s instructions to Moses,
man, departed not out of tlie tabernacle.
12 And Moses said unto tlie Lord, See,
thou sayest unto me," Bring up this peo-
ple : and thou hast not let me know whom
thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast
said, I know thee'^ by name, and thou
hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have
found grace in thy sight,^ shew me now
thy waj^, that I may know thee, that I
may find grace in thy sight; and consi-
der' that this nation is thy people.
14 And he said. My presence' shall go
with thee, and I will give thee'" rest.
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence
go not" loith we, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here
that I and thy people have found grace
in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest
with us ? SQp shall we be separated, I and
thy people, from all the people that are
upon the face of the earth.
17 And the Loed said unto Moses, I
will do this thing also that thou hast
spoken : for thou hast found grace in my
sight, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew
me thy glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my good-
ness* pass before thee, and I will proclaim
the name of the Loed before thee ; and
will be gracious' to whom I Avill be gra-
cious, and wiU shew mercy on whom
I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see « my
face ; for there shaU no man see me, and live.
21 And the Loed said. Behold, there is
a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon
a rock :
22 And it shall come to pass, while my
glory passeth by, that I will put thee in
a clift of the rock, and will cover thee
with my hand while I pass by :
23 And I wiU take away mine hand,
and thou shalt see my back parts j but
my face shall not be seen.
. CHAPTER XXXIY.
_A-ND the Loed said unto Moses, Hew
thee two tables of stone like unto the
first; and I will writer upon these tables
the Avords that were in the first tables,
which thou brakest.
2 And be ready in the morning, and
come up in the morning unto mount Si-
nai, and present thyself there to me in
the top of the mount.
3 And no man shall" come up -with
thee, neither let any man be seen through-
out all the mount; neither let the flocks
nor herds feed before that mount.
4 And he hewed two tables of stone like
unto the first : and Moses rose up early in
the morning, and went up unto mount Suiai,
as the Loed had commanded him, and
took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 And the Loed descended in the cloud,
and stood with him there, and proclaimed
the name* of the Loed.
6 And the Loed passed by before him,
and proclaimed, The Loed, The Loed
G-od,^ merciful and gracious, longsuffer-
ing, and abundant in goodness'' and truth,
7 Keeping mercy for thousands,* forgiv-
ing inicLuity and transgression and sin, and
that will by no means clear the guilty; visit-

20 And all the congregation of the
cliildren of Israel departed from the
presence of Moses.
21 And they came, every one* whose
heart stirred him up, and every one whom
his spirit made v/illing, and they brought
the Lord's offering to the work of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and for
all his service, and for the holy garments.
22 And they came, both men and avo-
men, as many as were wilUng hearted,
and brought bracelets, and earrings, and
rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold:
and every man that offered, offered an
offering of gold unto the Lord.
23 And every man with whom was found
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen, and goats' hair^ and red skins of
rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
24 Every one that did offer an offering
of silver and brass, brought the Lord's
offering: and every man with whom was
found shittim wood, for any work of the
service, brought it.
25 And all the women that were wise
hearted did* spin with their hands, and
brought that which they had spun, both
of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet,
and of fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart stir-
red them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
27 And' the rulers brought onyx stones,
and stones to be set, for the ephod, and
for the breastplate :
28 And" spice, and oil for the light, and for
the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
29 The children of Israel brought a
willing" offering unto the Lord, every
man and woman, whose heart made them
wilhng to bring, for aU manner of work
which the Lord had commanded to be
made by the hand of Moses.
30 And Moses said unto the children
of Israel, See,9 the Lord hath called by
name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of
Hur, of the tribe of Judah :
31 And he hath fiUed him with the
spirit of God, in wisdom, in understand-
ing, and in knowledge, and in all man-
ner of workmanship ;
32 And to devise curious works, to
work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 And in the cutting of stones to set
them^ and in carving of wood, to make
any manner of cunning work.
34 And he hath* put in his heart that
he may teach, both he and Aholiab the
son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 Them hath he filled" with wisdom of
heart, to work all manner of work, of the
engraver, and of the cunning workman,
and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in pur-
ple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the
weaver, even of them that do any work,
and of those that devise cunning work.

tlie LoED put wisdom and understanding,
to know how to work all manner of work
for the service of the" sanctuary, accord-
ing to all that the Loed had commanded.
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aho-
liab, and every wise hearted man, in
whose heart the Loed had put wisdom,
even every one whose heart* stirred him
up to come unto the work to do it :
3 And they received of Moses all the
offering which the children of Israel had
brought for the work of the service of
the sanctuary, to make it withal. And
they brought yet unto him free offerings
every morning.
4 And all the wise'' men, that wrought
all the work'^ of the sanctuarj^, came every
man from his work which they made ;
5 And they spake unto Moses, saying,
The people bring much« more than enough
for the service of the work, wliich the
Loed commanded to make.
6 And Moses gave commandment, and
they caused it to be proclaimed through-
out the camp, saying. Let neither man
nor woman make any more work for the
offering of the sanctuary.^ So the people
were restramed from bringing,
7 For the stuff they had was sufficient
for all the work to make it,*' and too much.
8 And every wise hearted man among
them that wrought the work of the taber-
nacle made ten'* curtains of fine twined
linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet : tvith
cherubim s of cunning work niade he them.
9 The length of one curtain loas twenty
and eight cubits, and the breadth of one
curtain four cubits: the curtains ivere all
of one size.
10 And he coupled the five curtains
one unto another ; and the other five cur-
tains he coupled one unto another.
11 And he made loops of blue on the
edge of one curtain from the selvedge
in the coupling: likewise he made in the
uttermost side of another curtain, in the
couphng of the second.
12 Fifty ^ loops made he in one curtain,
and fifty loops rnade he in the edge of the cur-
tain which loas in the coupling of the second.
The loops held one curtain to anotlier.
13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and
coupled the curtains one unto another with
the taches : so it became" one tabernacle.
14 And he made curtains of goats'
hair for the tent over the tabernacle:
eleven curtains he made them.
15 The length of one curtain loas thirty
cubits, and four cubits ivas the breadth
of one curtain: the eleven curtains ivere
of one size.
IG And he coupled five curtains by them-
selves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops upon the ut-
termost edge of the curtain in the coupling,
and fifty loops made he upon the edge of
the curtain which coupleth the second.
18 And he made fifty taches of brass
to couple the tent together, that it might
be one.
19 And he made a covering »" for the
tent of rams' skins dj-^ed red, and a co-
vering of badgers' skins above that.

southward.
24 And forty sockets of silver he made
under the twenty boards ; two sockets
under one board for his two tenons, and
two sockets under another board for his
two tenons.
25 And for the other side of the taber-
nacle, which is toward the north corner,
he made twenty boards,
26 And their forty sockets of silver :
two sockets under one board, and two
sockets under another board.
27 And for the sides of the tabernacle
westward he made six boards.
28 And two boards made he for the cor-
ners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29 And they were ^coupled beneath,
and coupled together at the head there-
of, to one ring : thus he did to both of
them in both the corners.
30 And there were eight boards ; and
their sockets were sixteen sockets of
silver, V under every board two sockets.
31 And he made/ bars of shittim
wood: five for the boards of the one
side of the tabernacle,
32 And five bars for the boards of the
other side of the tabernacle, and five
bars for the boards of the tabernacle for
the sides westward.
33 And he made the middle bar to
shoot through the boards fi*om the ono
end to the other.
34 And he overlaid the boards with gold,
and made their rings of gold to be places for
the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 And he made a' vail of blue, and piir-
pie, and scarlet, and fine twined linen : tvith
cherubims made he it of cunning work.
36 And he made thereunto four pillars
of shittim ivood, and overlaid them with
gold : their hooks tvere of gold ; and he
cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 And he made an* hanging for the ta-
bernacle door o/blue,and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen, ^ of ^ needlework ;
38 And the five pillars of it with their
hooks : and he overlaid their chapiters
and their fillets with gold ; but their five
sockets were o/ brass.

il.ND Bezaleel made the^ ark of shittim
wood : two cubits and a half ivas the length
of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of
it, and a cubit and a half the height of it :
2 And he overlaid it with pure gold
within and without, and made a crown
of gold to it round about.
3 And he cast for it four rings of gold,
to be set by the four corners of it ; even
two rings upon the one side of it, and
two rings upon the other side of it.
4 And he made staves of shittim wood,
and overlaid them with gold.
5 And he put the staves into the rings
by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And he made the mercy seat? of
pure gold: two cubits and a half ^vas
the length thereof, and one cubit and a
half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two' cherubims of
gold, beaten out of one piece made he
them, on the two ends of the mercy seat :
8 One cherub ^on the end on this side;
and another cherub v on the other end on
tliat side : out of the mercy seat made he

9 And the cherubims « spread out their
wings on high, and covered witli their
Avings over the mercy seat, with their faces
one to another; even to the* mercy seat-
ward were the faces of the cherubims.
10 And he made the*' table of shittim
wood: two cubits tvas the length thereof,
and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a half the height thereof:
11 And he overlaid it with pure gold,
and made thereunto a crown of gold
round about.
12 Also he made thereunto a border of
an handbreadth round about; and made
a crown of gold for the border thereof,
round about.
13 And he cast for it four rings of gold,
and put the rings upon the four corners
that ^vere in the four feet thereof.
14 Over against the border were the rings,
the places for the staves to bear the table.
15 And he made the staves of shittim
wood, and overlaid them with gold, to
bear the table.
16 And he made the vessels which loere
upon the table, his* dishes, and his spoons,
and his bowls, and his covers ^to cover
withal, of pure gold.
17 And he made the^ candlestick of pure
gold: o/ beaten work made he the candle-
stick ; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls,
his knops, and his flowers, were of the same :
18 And six branches going out of the
sides thereof; three branches of the can-
dlestick out of the one side thereof, and
three branches of the candlestick out of
the other side thereof :
19 Three bowls made after the fashion
of almonds in one branch, a knop and a
flower; and three bowls made like al-
monds in another branch, a knop and a
flower; so throughout the six branches
going out of the candlestick. _
20 And in the candlestick toere four
bowls made like almonds, his knops, and
his flowers :
21 And a knop under two branches of
the same, and a knop under two branches
of the same, and a knop under two
branches of the same, according to the
six branches going out of it.
22 Their knops and their branches were

o/pure gold.
23 And he made his seven lamps, and his
snuffers, and his snuffdishes, o/pure gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it,
and all the vessels thereof.
25 And he made the incense* altar of
shittim wood : the length of it ivas a cubit,
and the breadth of it a cubit ; it ivas four-
square, and two cubits ^vas the height of
it ; the horns thereof were of the same.
26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, hoth
the top of it, and the sides thereof round
about, and the horns of it : also he made
unto it a crown of gold round about.
27 And he made two rings of gold for it
under the crown thereof, by the two cor-
ners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to
be places for the staves to bear it withal.
28 And he made the staves of sliittim
wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made"* the holy anointing
oil, and the pure" incense of sweet spices,
according to the work of the apothecary.

33 And he reared up* the court round
about the tabernacle and the altar, and
set up the hanging of the court gate.
So Moses finished the work.
34 Then a cloud" covered the tent of
the congregation, and the glory of the
Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter
into the tent of the congregation, because
the cloud abode thereon, and the glory
of the Lord fUled the tabernacle.
36 And when the cloud*" was taken up
from over the tabernacle, the children of
Israel ^went onward in all their journes^s :
37 But if the cloud were not taken up,
then they journeyed not^ till the day
that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the Lord* loas upon
the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it
by night, in the sight of all the house of
Israel, throughout all their journeys.

The Third Book of MOSES, called LEVITICUS.
. CHAPTER I.
A N'T) tlie Lord called unto Moses, and
spake unto him* out of the tabernacle of
the congregation, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them. If any man of you''
bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall
bring your offering of the cattle, even of
the herd, and of the flock.
3 If his offering he a burnt sacrifice of
the herd, let him offer a male* without
blemish : he shall offer it of his own vo-
luntary will at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation before the Lord.
4 And he shall put his hand/iipon the
head of the burnt offering; and it shall
hes accepted for him, to make* atone-
ment for him.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before
the Lord: and the priests, Aaron's sons,
shall bring the blood, and sprinkle* the
blood round about upon the altar that is
hy the door of the tabernacle of the con-
gregation.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering,
and cut it into his pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest
shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the
wood in order upon the fire :
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shaU
lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in
order upon the wood that is on the fire
Avhicli is upon the altar :
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he
wash in water: and the priest shall burn
all on the altar, to he a burnt sacrifice, an
offering made by fire, of a"* sweet savour
unto the Lord.
10 And if his offering he of the flocks,
namely^ of the sheep, or of the goats, for
a burnt sacrifice ; he shall bring it a male
without blemish.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the
altar** northward before the Lord : and
the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle
his blood round about upon the altar :
12 And he shall cut it into liis pieces,
with his head and his fat: and the priest
shall lay them in order on the wood that
is on the fire which is upon the altar.
13 But he shall wash the inwards and
the legs with water: and the priest shall
bring it all, and burn it upon the altar:
it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made
by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his
offering to the Lord he of fowls, then he
shall bring his offering of*" turtledoves,
or of young pigeons.
15 And the pi'iest shall bring it unto the
altar, and ^ wring off his head, and burn
. it on the altar ; and the blood thereof shall
be wrung out at the side of the altar :
16 And he shall pluck away his crop
with his ^feathers, and cast it beside the
altar on the east part, by the place of
tlie ashes :
17 And he shall cleave it with the wings
thereof, hut shall not* divide it asunder:
and the priest shall burn it upon the altar,
upon the wood that is upon the fire : it is
a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savour " unto the Lord.

upon it, and put frankincense thereon :
2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons,

handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil
thereof, with all the frankincense thereof ;
and the priest shall burn*^ the memorial of
it upon the altar, to he an offering made
by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord :
3 And the remnant of the meat offer-
ing shall he Aaron's and his sons' : it is

Lord made by fire.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a

9 And the priest shall take from the meat
offering a' memorial thereof, and shall burn

fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
10 And that which is left of the meat
offering shall he Aaron's and his sons' :
it is a thing most holy of the offerings of
the Lord made by fire.
11 No meat offering, which ye shall
bring unto the Lord, shall be made with
leaven:'' for ye shall burn no leaven, nor
any honey, in any offering of the Lord
made by fire.
12 As for the oblation of the^ first-
fruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord :
but they shall not V be burnt on the altar
for a sweet savour.
13 And every oblation of thy meat
offering shalt thoii season with' salt;
neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the
covenant of thy God to be lacking from
thy meat offering: with all thine offer-
ings thou shalt offer salt.
14 And if thou offer a meat offering of
thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt
ofier for the meat offering of thy first-
fruits green ears of corn dried by the fire,
even corn beaten out* of full ears.

lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat
offering.
16 And the priest shall burn the me-
morial of it, part of the beaten corn there-

26 Moreover, ye shall eat no manner of
blood,* tohether it be of fowl, or of beast,
in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatsoever soul it he that eateth
any manner of blood, even that soul shaU
be cut off' from his people.
28 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
29 Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying. He that offereth the sacrifice of
his '^ peace offerings unto the Lord shall
bring his oblation imto the Lord of the
sacrifice of his peace offerings.
30 His own hands '^ shall bring the offer-
ings of the Lord made by fire ; the fat
with the breast, it shall he bring, that the
breast may be waved forf a wave offer-
ing before the Lord.
31 And the priest shall burn the fat
upon the altar ; but the breast shall be
Aaron's and his sons'.
32 And the right shoulder shall ye give
unto the priest^ for an heave offering of
the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33 He among the sons of Aaron, that
offereth the blood of the peace offerings,
and the fat, shaU have the right shoulder
for his part.
34 For the wave breast and the heave
shoulder have I taken of the children of
Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace
offerings, and have given them unto Aaron
the priest and unto his sons, by a statute for
ever from among the children of Israel.
35 This is the portion of the anointing
of Aaron, and of the anointing of his
sons, out of the offerings of the Lord
made by fixe, in the day lohen he pre-
sented them to minister unto the Lord
in the priest's office ;
36 Which the Lord commanded to be
given them of the children of Israel, in the
day that he" anointed them, 5y a statute
for ever throughout their generations.
37 This is the law" of the burnt offer-
ing, of the meat offering, and of the sin
offering, and of the^ trespass offering,
and of the consecrations, and*" of the
sacrifice of the peace offerings ;
38 Which the Lord commanded Moses
in mount Sinai, in the day that he com-
manded the cluldren of Israel to offer
their oblations unto the Lord, in the
wilderness of Sinai.

ing,

manded him ; and the assembly was ga-
thered together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
5 And Moses said unto the congrega-
tion, This is the thing which the Lord
commanded to be done. , '
6 And Moses brought Aaron and his
sons,* and washed them with water.
7 And he put upon him the coat, and

9 And he put the <^ mitre upon his head :
also upon the mitre, even upon his fore-
front, did he put the golden plate, the holy
crown ; as the Loed« commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took the/ anointing oil,
and anointed the tabernacle, and all that
tuas therein, and sanctified them.
11 And he sprinkled «* thereof upon the
altar seven times, and anointed the altar
and all his vessels, both the laver and
his foot, to sanctify them.
12 And he poured of the anointing oil
upon Aaron^s head, and* anointed him,
to sanctify him.
13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons,
and put coats' upon them, and girded
them with girdles, and ^ put bonnets upon
them ; as the Lord commanded Moses.
14 And he brought the bullock for the
sin offering : and Aaron and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the
bullock for the sin offering.
15 And he slew if; and Moses"* took
the blood, and put it upon the horns of
the altar round about with his finger,
and purified the altar, and poured the
blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanc-
tified it, to make" reconciliation upon it.
16 And he took all the fat that teas
upon the inwards, and the caul above the
liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat,
and Moses burned it upon the altar.
17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh,
and his dung, he burnt with fire? without
the camp ; as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 And he brought the ram for the burnt
offering : and Aaron and his sons laid
their hands upon the head of the ram,
19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled
the blood upon the altar roimd about.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces;
and Moses burnt the head, and the
pieces, and the fat.
21 And he washed the inwards and
the legs in water; and Moses burnt the
whole ram upon the altar : it ivas a burnt
sacrifice for" a sweet savour, and an
offering made by fire unto the Lord ; as
the Lord commanded Moses.
22 And he brought the* other ram, the
ram of consecration : and Aaron and his
sons laid their hands upon the head of the
ram.
23 And he slew it; and Moses took of
the* blood of it, and put it upon the tip
of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb
of his right hand, and upon the great toe
of his right foot.

Moses put of the blood upon the tip of

28 And Moses took them from off" their
hands, and burnt them on the altar upon
the burnt offering : they ioere consecra-
tions for a sweet savour : it is an offering
made by fire unto the Lord.
29 And Moses took the breast,*^ and waved
it for a wave offering before the Lord :
for of the ram of consecration it was Mo-
ses' part ; as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 And Moses took of the anointing oil,
and of the blood which tvas upon the
altar, and spi'inkled it upon Aaron, and
upon his garments, and upon his sons, and
upon his sons' garments with him; and
sanctified* Aaron, and his garments, and
his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
31 And Moses said unto Aaron and to
his sons,* Boil the flesh at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation ; and there
eat it with the bread that is in the baslict
of consecrations, as I commanded, say-
ing, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 And that which remaineth of the flesh
and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
33 And ye shall not go out of the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation in
seven days, until the days of your conse-
cration be at an end : for seven days "
shall he consecrate you.
34 As he hath done this day, so the
Lord hath commanded to do, to make
an atonement for you.
35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation day
and night, seven days, and^ keep the
charge of the Lord, that ye die not : for
so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things
which the Lord commanded by the
hand of Moses.
CHAPTER IX.
-A.ND it came to pass on the*" eighth
day, that Moses called Aaron and his
sons, and the elders of Israel ;
2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee
a young calf for a* sin offering, and a
ram for a* burnt offering, without ble-
mish, and offer them before the Lord.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou
slialt speak, saying, Take ye'' a kid of
the goats for a'" sin offering; and a calf
and a lamb, both of the first year, with-
out blemish, for a burnt offering ;
4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace
offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord ;
and y a meat offering mingled with oil :
for to day the Lord will appear unto you.
5 And they brought that which Moses
commanded before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and all the congregation
drew near and stood before the Lord.
6 And Moses said, This is the thing
which the Lord commanded that ye
should do ; and the glory of the * Lord
shall appear unto you.
7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go
unto the altar, and offer thy<* sin offer-
ing, and thy burnt offering, and make
an atonement for thyself,* and for the
people : and offer the offering of the
people, and make an atonement/ for
them ; as the Lord commanded.
8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar,
and slew the calf of the sin offering,
which loas for himself.

blood unto him ; and he dipped his finger

iu the blood, and« put it upon the horns
of the altar, and poured out the blood at
the bottom of the altar : , , , ,
10 But the fat,* and the kidneys, and
the caul above the liver of the sin offer-
ing, he burnt upon the altar ; as the Loed
conimanded Moses, , . ^ , ,
11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt
with fire without the camp.
12 And he slew the burnt offering; and
Aaron's sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled/ round about
upon the altar.
13 And they presented the burnt offer-
ing unto him, with the pieces thereof,
and the head: and he burnt them upon
the altar.
14 And he did wash the inwards and
the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt
offering on the altar.
15 And he brought the people's offer-
ing, and took the goat, which wa-s the
sin offering for the people, and slew it,
and offered it*^ for sin, as the first.
16 And he brought the burnt offering,
and offered it according to the /3 manner.
17 And he brought the meat offering,
and Vtook an handful thereof, and burnt
it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacri-
fice" of the morning.
18 He slew also the bullock and the ram
for a sacrifice of peace offerings," which
was for the people : and Aaron's sons pre-
sented unto him the blood, which he
sprinkled upon the altar round about,
19 And the fat of the bullock, and of
the ram, the rump, and that which co-
veretli the inwards, and the kidneys, and
the caul above the liver :
20 And they put the fat upon the breasts,
and he burnt the fat upon the altar :
21 And the breasts and the right shoulder
Aaron waved for a wave offering ^ before
the LoKD ; as Moses commanded.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hand to-
ward the people, and« blessed them, and came
down from offering of the sin offering, and
the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the
tabernacle of the congregation, and came
out, and blessed the people : and the glory
of the LoRC" appeared unto all the people.
24 And there came a fire* out from be-
fore the Lord, and consumed upon the
altar the burnt offering and the fat : lohich
when all the people saw, they* shouted,
and fell on their faces.
CHAPTER X.
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of
Aaron, took either of them his censer, and
put fire therein, and put incense thereon,
and offered" strange fire before the
Lord, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire" from the
Lord, and devoured them; and* they
died before the Lord.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is
it that the Lord spake, saying, Iwill be
sanctified y in them that come nigh me,
and before all the people I will be* glo-
rified. And Aaron * held his peace.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elza-
phan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of
Aaron, and said unto them, Come near,
carry your brethren from before the
sanctuary out of the camp.
5 So they went near, and<^ carried them
in their coats out of the camp ; as Moses

be unclean seven days; according to the
days of the separation for her*^ infirmity
shall she be unclean.
3 And in the« eighth day the flesh of
his foreskin shall be circumcised.

blood of her purifying three and thirty
days : she shall touch no hallowed thing,
nor come into the sanctuary, until the
days of her purifying be fulfilled.
5 But if she bear a maid child, then she
shaU be unclean two weeks, as m her se-
paration : and she shall continue in the blood
of her purifying threescore and six days. _
6 And when the days of her/ purifying
are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter,
she shall bring a lamb 7 of the first year
for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon,
or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto
the door of the tabernacle of the congre-
gation, unto the priest ;
7 Who shall offer it before the Loed,
and make an atonement for her; and she
shall be cleansed from the issue of her
blood. This is the law for her that hath
born a male or a female.
8 And* if ^she be not able to bring a
lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or
two young pigeons ; the one for the burnt
offering, and the other for a sin offering;
and the priest shall make an atonement
for her, and she shall be clean.
. CHAPTER XIII.
■A NT) the Loed spake unto Moses and
Aaron, saying,
2 When a man shall have in the skin
of his flesh a prising,* a scab, or bright
spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like
the plague of leprosy; then he shall be
brought unto Aaron the priest,^ or unto
one of his sons the priests :
3 And the priest shall look on the
plague in the skin of the flesh ; and tvhen
the hair in the plague is turned white,
and the plague in sight he deeper than the
skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy :
and the priest shall look on him, and pro-
nounce him unclean.
4 If the bright spot le white in the skin
of his flesh, and in sight he not deeper
than the skin, and the hair thereof be not
turned white; then the priest shall « shut
up him that hath the plague seven days :
5 And the priest shall look on him the
seventh day : and, behold, if the plague
in his sight be at a stay, and the plague
spread not in the skin, then the priest
shall shut him up seven days more :
6 And the priest shall look on him again
the seventh day ; and, behold, if the plague
he somewhat dark, and the plague spread
not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce
him clean ; it is htit a scab : and he shall
wash his clothes, and be clean.

40 Then tlie priest shall command that
they take away the stones in which the
plague is, and they shall cast them into
an unclean place* without the city :
41 And he shall cause the house to be
scraped within round about, and they
shall pour out the dust that they scrape oit'
without the city into an unclean place :
42 And they shall take other stones,
and put them in the place of those stones ;
and he shall take other mortar, and shall
plaister the house.
43 And if the plague come"^ again, and
break out in the house, after that he hath
taken away the stones, and after he hath
scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
44 Then the priest shall come and look,
and, behold, if the plague be spread in
the house, it is^ a fretting leprosy in the
house : it is unclean.
45 And he shall break down/ the house,
the stones of it, and the timber thereof,
and all the mortar of the house; and he
shall carry them forth out of the city into
an unclean place.
46 Moreover, he that goeth into the
house all the while that it is shuts' up
shall be unclean until the even.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall
wash his clothes ; and he that eateth in
the house shall wash his clothes.
48 And if the priest ^ shall come in,
and look upon it, and, behold, the plague
hath not spread in the house, after the
house -was plaistered; then the priest
shall pronounce the house clean,* be-
cause the plague is healed.
49 And he shall take"* to cleanse the
house two birds, and cedar wood, and
scarlet, and hyssop :
50 And he shall kill the one of the birds
in an earthen vessel over running water :
51 And he shall take the cedar wood,
and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the
living bird, and dip them in the blood of
the slain bird, and in the running water,
and sprinkle the house seven times :
52 And he shall cleanse the house with
the blood of the bird, and with the run-
ning water, and with the living bird, and
with the cedar wood, and with the hys-
sop, and with the scarlet :
53 But he shall let go the living bird
out of the city into the open fields, and
make^ an atonement for the house: and
it shall be clean.
54 This is the 9 law for aU manner of
plague of leprosy, and* scall,

and of" a house,

and for a bright spot ;

when it is clean : this is the law of leprosy.

A.ND the Loed spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 Speak unto all the congregation of
the children of Israel, and say unto
them, Ye/ shall be holy : for I the Loed
your God am holy.
3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, «'
and his father, and keep ^ my sabbaths : I
am the Loed your God.
4 Turn ye not unto idols,*' nor make
to yourselves molten gods : I am the
Loed your God.
5 And if ye ofier a sacrifice of peace
ofierings unto the Loed, ye shall offer it
at your own wiU.
6 It.'' shaU be eaten the same day ye
offer it, and on the morrow : and if ought
remain until the third day, it shall be
burnt in the fire.
7 And if it be eaten at aU on the third
day, it is abominable; it shall not be ac-
cepted.
8 Therefore every one that eateth it
shall bear his iniquity, because he hath
profaned the hallowed thing of the Loed ;
and that soul shall be cut off from among
his people.
9 And"' when ye reap the harvest of
your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the
corners of thy field, neither shalt thou
gather the gleanings of thy harvest,
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vine-
yard, neither shalt thou gather every
grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave
them for the poor and stranger : I am the
Loed your God.
11 Ye shall not steal, ^ neither deal
falsely, neither lie'* one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear « by my name
falsely, neither shalt thou profane* the
name of thy God : I am the Loed.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neigh-
bour, neither rob him: the wages ^ of
him that is hired shall not abide with
thee all night until the morning.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor
put a stumbliugbloek before the blind,*
but shalt feary thy God: I am the Loed._
15 Ye* shall do no unrighteousness in
judgment : thou shalt not respect " the
person of the poor, nor honour the person
of the mighty : hut in righteousness shalt
thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not go up and down as
a talebearer/ among thy people : neither
shalt thou stand against the blood i' of

a woman that is a bondmaid, ^betroth-
ed to an husband, and not at all redeem-
ed, nor freedom given her; Vshe ^ shall
be scourged: they shall not be put to
death, because she was not free.
21 And* he shall bring his trespass
offering unto the Lord, unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation,
even a ram for a trespass offering.
22 And the priest shall make an atone-
ment for him, with the ram of the tres-
pass offering, before the Loed, for his
sin which he hath done : and the sin
which he hath done shall be forgiven
him.
23 And when ye shall come into the
land, and shall have planted all manner
of trees for food, then ye shall count the
fruit thereof as uncircumcised : three
years shall it be as uncircumcised unto
you ; it shall not be eaten of.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit
thereof shall be ^holy, to praise* the

seed unto Molech, he shall surely be

3 And I will set*' ruy face against that

his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanc-
tuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 And if the people of the land do
any ways hide their eyes from the man,
when he giveth of his seed unto Molech,

5 Then I will set my face against that
man, and against his family,'' and will
cut him off", and all that go a* whoring
after him, to commit whoredom with
Molech, from among their people.
6 And/ the soul that turueth after
such as have familiar spirits, and after
wizards, to go a whoring after them, I
will even set my face against that soul,
and will cut him off^ from among his
people.
7 Sanctify* yourselves, therefore, and
be ye holy : for I am the Loed your
God.
8 And-' ye shall keep my statutes,

sanctify you.
9 For every one^ that curseth hia
father or his mother shall be surely put
to death: he hath cursed his father or
his mother ; his blood" shall he upon him.
10 And the man that C9mmitteth adul-
tery with another man's wife, even he that
committeth adultery with his neighbour's
wife, the* adulterer and the adulteress
shall surely be put to death.
11 And the man that lieth with his
father's wife'* hath uncovered his fa-
ther's nakedness: both of them shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall
he upon them.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter
in law,* both of them shall surely be put
to death : they have wrought confusion ;
their blood shall he upon them.
13 If a man also lie with" mankind
as he lieth with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination: they
shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall he upon them.
14 And if a man take a wife and her
mother, v it is wickedness : they shaU
be burnt with fire, botli he and they;
that there be no wickedness amoug

15 And if a man lie with a beast, <» he

16 And if a woman approach unto any

17 And if a man shall take his '^ sister,

thing; and they shall be cut off in the
sight of their people : he hath uncovered

j3lND the Loed said unto Moses, Speak
unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and
say unto them. There y shall none be
defiled for the dead among his people :
2 But for his kin that is near unto him,
that is, for his mother, and for his father,
and for his son, and for his daughter,
and for his brother, ^
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is
nigh unto him, which hath had no hus-
band, for her may he be defiled.
4 J3ut ihe shall not defile himself,
being a chief man among his people, to
profane himself.
5 They shall not make baldness upon
their head; neither shall they shave off
the corner of their beard; nor make any
cuttings in their flesh.
6 They shall be holy unto their Grod,
and not profane «' the name of their God :
for the offerings of the Loed made by
fire, and the bread of their God, they do
offer ; therefore* they shall be holy.
7 They shall' not take a wife that is
a whore, or profane; neither shall they
take a woman put away' from her hus-
band : for he is holy unto his God.
8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore;
for he offereth the bread of thy God ; he
shall be holy unto thee : for » I the Loed,
which sanctify you, am holy.

9 And the daughter of any priest, if
she profane herself by playing the whore,
she profaneth her father: she shaU be
burnt* with fire.
10 And he that is the high priest among
his brethren, upon whose head the anoint-
ing oil was poured, and that is conse-
crated to put on the garments, '^ shall not
uncover'' his head, nor rend his clothes ;
11 Neither shall he go in« to any dead
body, nor defile himself for his father, or
for his mother ;
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanc-
tuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his
God ; for the crown * of the anointing
oil of his God is upon him: I am the
Loed.
13 And he shall take a wife* in her
virginity.
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or
profane, or an harlot, these shall he not
take : but he shall take a virgin of his
own people to wife.
15 Neither shall he profane his" seed
among his people; for I the Loed do
sanctuy him.
16 And the Loed spake unto Moses,
saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying. Whoso-
ever he be of thy seed in their genera-
tions that hath anj/ blemish, "■ let him
not approach* to offer the V bread of his
God:
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath
a blemish, he shall not approach : a bhnd
man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat
nose, or any thing superfluous,*
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or
brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or ^a dwarf, or
that hath a blemish in his eye, or be
scurvy or scabbed, or"* hath his stones
broken :
21 No man that hath a blemish of the
seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh
to offer the offerings of the Loed made
by fire : he hath a blemish : he shall
not come nigh to offer the bread of his
God.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God,
both of the most " holy, and of the holy ;*•
23 Only he shall not go in unto the
vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, be-
cause he hath a blemish; that* he pro-
fane not my sanctuaries: for*' I the
Loed do sanctify them.
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and
to his sons, and unto all the children of
Israel.
. CHAPTER XXIL
-/iJND the Loed spake unto Moses, say-
ing,
2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons,
that they separate'' themselves from the
holy things of the children of Israel, and
that* they profane not my holy name in
those things which they hallow/ unto
me : I am the Loed.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of
all your seed, among your generations,
that goeth unto the holy things, which
the children of Israel haUow unto the
Loed, having* his uncleanness upon
him, that soiil shall be cut off from my
presence : I am the LoED.
4 AVhat man soever of the seed of Aaron
is a leper, or"* hath a running ^ issue, he
shall not eat of the holy things until he
be clean." And whoso p toucheth any
and concerning sacrifices.

tiling that is unclean by the dead, or a
man* whose seed goeth from him ;
5 Or whosoever* toucheth any creep-
ing thing, whereby he may be made un-
clean, or"^ a man of whom he may take
uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he
hath ;
6 The soul which hath touched* any
such shall be unclean until even, and
shall not eat of the holy things, unless
he wash*' his flesh with water.
7 And when the sun is down he shall
be clean, and shall afterward eat of the
holy things, because* it is his food.
8 That which dieth * of itself, or is torn
tvith beasts, he shall not eat to defile him-
self therewith : I am the Lord.
9 They shall therefore keep mine ordi-
nance, lest' they bear sin for it, and die
therefore, if they profane it : I the Loed
do sanctify them.
10 There shall no stranger eat of the
holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or
an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy
thing,
11 But if the priest buy amj soul with
his V money, he shall eat of it, and he
that is born in his house; they* shall eat
of his meat.
12 If the priest's daughter also be mar-
ried unto 5 a stranger, she may not eat
of an offering of the holy things.
13 But if the priest's daughter be a wi-
dow, or divorced, and have no child, and
is returned' unto her father's house, as
in her youth, she shall eat of her father's
meat ; but there shall no stranger eat
thereof.
14 And if a man eat of the holy thing
unwittingly," then he shall put the fifth
part thereof unto it, and shall give it
unto the priest with the holy thing.
15 And they shall not profane the holy
things y of the children of Israel, which
they offer unto the Lord ;
16 Or f suffer them to bear* the ini-
quity of trespass, when they eat their
holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify
them.
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons,
and unto all the children of Israel, and
say unto them. Whatsoever he be of the
house of Israel, or sf the strangers'' in
Israel, that will offer his oblation for all
his vows, and for all his freewill offer-
ings, which they will offer unto the Lord
for a burnt offering ;
19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male
without blemish, '^ of the beeves, of the
sheep, or of the goats.
20 But whatsoever « hath a blemish,
that shall ye not offer ; for it shall not be
acceptable for you.
21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice
of peace offerings/ unto the Lord to ac-
compUsh his vow,s' or a freewill offering
in beeves or v sheep, it shall be perfect
to be accepted; there shall be no blemish
therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or
having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye
shall not offer these unto the Lord, nor
make an offering by fire of them upon
the altar unto the Lord.

and cut down your images, and cast
your carcases upon the carcases of your
idols, and my soul shall abhor « you.
31 And I will make your cities'' waste,
and bring your sanctuaries/ unto deso-
lation, and I will not smells' the savour
of your sweet odours.
32 And I will bring the land' into de-
solation: and your enemies which dwell
therein shall be astonished'" at it.
33 And I Avill scatter^ you among the
heathen, and will draw out a sword after
you: and your land shall be desolate,
and your cities waste.
34 Then shall the land'" enjoy her sab-
baths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye
be in your enemies' land ; even then shall
the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall
rest; because it did not rest in your sab-
baths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 And upon them that are left alive of
you I will send a faintness" into their
hearts in the lands of their enemies ; and
the sound"" of a 7 shaken leaf shall chase
them ; and they shall flee, as fleeing from
a sword; and they shall fall when none
pursueth.
37 And they shall fall^ one upon ano-
ther, as it were before a sword, when
none pursueth : and ye shall have no
■power to stand* before your enemies.
38 And ye shall perish among the hea-
then, and the land of your enemies shall
eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall
pine* away in their iniquity in your
enemies' lands; and also in the iniqui-
ties of their fathers shall they pine away
with them.
40 If s' thej^ shall confess their iniquity,
and the iniquity of their fathers, with their
trespass which they trespassed against
me, and that also they have walked con-
trary imto me ;
41 And that 1 also have walked con-
trary unto them, and have brought them
into the land of their enemies ; if then
their uncircumcised» hearts be* humbled,
and they then accept' of the punishment
of their iniquity :
42 Then will I remember" my cove-
nant with Jacob, and also my covenant
with Isaac, and also my covenant with
Abraham wiU I remember; and I will
remember the land.-P
43 The land also shall be left of them,
and shall enjoy her sabbaths, 9 Avhile she
lieth desolate without them: and they
shall accept * of the punishment of their
iniquity : because, even because they
despised* my judgments, and because
their soul abhorred my statutes.
44 And yet for all that, when they be
in the land of their enemies, I will"' not
cast them away, neither will I abhor
them, to destroy them utterlj% and to
break * my covenant with them : for I
am the Lord their God.
45 But I will for their sakes^ remember
the covenant of their" ancestors, whom
I brought forth out of the land of Egypt
in the sight of the heathen, that I might
be their God : I am the Lord.

ments and laws, which the Lord made
between him and the children of Israel
in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Concerning things sanctijlecl.
. CHAPTER XXVII.
jt\-ND tlie Lord spake unto Moses, say-
ing,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them. When* a man shall
make a singular'^ vow, the persons shall
le for the Lord by thy estimation.
3 And thy estimation « shall be of the
male from twenty years old even unto
sixty years old, even thy estimation shall
be fifty shekeh of silver, after/ the she-
kel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it be a female, then thy esti-
mation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it he from five years old even
unto twenty years old, then thy estima-
tion shall be of the male twenty shekels,
and for the female ten shekels.
6 And if it he from a month old even
unto five years old, then thy estimation
shall be of the male five shekels of silver,
and for the female thy estimation shall
he three shekels of silver.
7 And if it he from sixty years old and
above; if it he a male, then thy estima-
tion shall be fifteen shekels, and for the
female ten shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than thy estima-
tion, then he shall present himself before
the priest, and the priest shall value him ;
according to his ability" that vowed shall
the priest value him.
9 And if it he a beast, whereof men
bring an offering unto the Lord, all that
any man giveth of such unto the Lord
shall be holy.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it,
a good for a bad, or a bad for a good : and
if he shall at all change beast for beast,
then it and the exchange thereof shall
be holy.
11 And if it he any unclean beast, of
which they do not offer a sacrifice unto
the Lord, then he shall present the beast
before the priest :
12 And the priest shall value it, whe-
ther it be good or bad: Vas thou vainest
it, toho art the priest, so shall it be.
13 But* if he will at all redeem it, then
he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy
estimation.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his
house* to he holy unto the Lord, then
the priest shall estimate it, whether it be
good or bad: as" the priest shall esti-
mate it, so shall it stand.
15 And if he that sanctified it will re-
deem his house, then he shall add the
fifth* part of the money of thy estima-
tion unto it, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the
Lord some part of a field of his posses-
sion, then thy estimation shall be accord-
ing to the seed thereof: ^an homer of
barley seed shall he valued at fifty she-
kels of silver.
17 If he sanctify his field from the year
of jubilee, according to thy estimation
it shall stand.

unto him the money according to the
years that remain, even unto the year of
the jubilee, and it shall be abated from
thy estimation.
19 And if '^ he that sanctified the field
will in any wise redeem it, then he shall
add the fifth part of the money of thy
estimation unto it, and it shall be assured
to him.
20 And if he will not redeem the field,
or if he have sold the field to another
man, it shall not be redeemed anj'' more.
21 But the field, when it^'goeth out in
the jubilee, shall be holy unto the Lord,
as a field devoted;* the possession thereof
shall be the priest's.'
22 And if a man sanctify unto the Lord
a field which he hath bought, which is
not of the fields of ^ his possession ;
23 Then' the priest shall reckon unto
him the worth of thy estimation, even
unto the year of the jubilee : and he shall
give thine estimation in that day, as a
holy thing unto the Lord.
24 In"' the year of the jubUee the field
shall return unto him of whom it was
bought, even to him to whom the posses-
sion of the land did belong.
25 And all thy estimations shall be ac-
cording to the shekel of the sanctuary:
twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 Only the ^firstling of the beasts,
which should be the Lord's «» firstling,
no man shall sanctify it; whether it he
ox, or sheep : it is the Lord's.
27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then
he shall redeem it according to thine es-
timation, and shall add a fifths part of it
thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then
it shall be sold according to thy estima-
tion.
28 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing
that a man shall devote unto the Lord
of all that he hath, both of man and beast,
and of the field of his possession, shall be
sold or redeemed : every « devoted thing
is most holy unto the Lord.
29 None'' devoted, which shall be de-
voted of men, shall be redeemed; but
shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe ^ of the land, ivhe-
ther of the seed of the land, or of the
fruit of the tree, is the Lord's : it is
holy unto the Lord.
31 And if a man will at all redeem
ought of his tithes, he shall add"' thereto
the fifth part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the herd,
or of the flock, even of whatsoever pass-
ethy under the rod, the tenth shall be
holy unto the Lord.
33 He shall not search whether it be
good or bad, neither shall he change* it;
and if he change it at aU, then both it
and the change thereof shall be holy: it
shall not be redeemed.
34 These" are the commandments,* which
the Lord commanded Moses for the chil-
dren of Israel, in mount Sinai.*

. CHAPTER I.
i\_ND the LoED spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai," in the tabernacle of
the congregation, on the first day of the
second month, in the second year after
they were come out of the land of Egypt,
saying,
2 Take* ye the sum of all the congre-
gation of the children of Israel, after their
families, by the house of their fathers,
with the number of their names, every
male by their polls ;
3 From twenty years old and upward,
all that are able to go forth to war in Is-
rael: thou and Aaron shall number them
by their armies.
4 And with you there shall be a man of
every tribe; every one head*' of the house
of his fathers.
5 And these are the names of the men
that shall stand with you : of the tribe of
Eeuben ; Elizur"^ the son of Shedeur.
6 Of Simeon ; Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai.
7 Of Judah; ^Nahshon/ the son of
Amminadab.
8 Of Issachar; Nethaneel the son of

15 Of Naphtali ; Ahira the son of Enan.
16 These ^ ivere the renowned of the con-
gregation, princes of the tribes of their
fathers, heads* of thousands in Israel.
17 And Moses and Aaron took these men
which are expressed* by their names :'
18 And they assembled all the congre-
gation together on the first day of the se-
cond month, and they declared their pe-
digrees after their families, by the house
of their fathers ; according "» to the num-
ber of the names, from twenty years old
and upward, by their polls.
19 As" the LoED commanded Moses,
so he numbered them in the wilderness
of Sinai.
20 And the children of Reuben, Israel's
eldest son, by their generations, after
their families, by the house of their fa-
thers, according to the number of the
names, by their polls, every male from

iliafc they defile not their camps, in the
midst whereof I " dwell.
4 And the children of Israel did so,
and put them out without the camp : as
the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the
children of Israel.
5 And the Loed spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel;
When*^ a man or woman shall commit any
sin that men commit, to do a trespass
against the Lord, and that person be guilty ;
7 Then they shall confess* their sin
which they have done : and he shall re-
compense/ his trespass with the principal
thereof, and add unto it the fifth part
thereof, and give it unto him against
whom he hath trespassed.
8 But if the man have no kinsman to
recompense the trespass unto, let the
trespass be recompensed unto the Loed,
even to the priest ; beside the ram of the
atonement, whereby an atonement shall
be made for him.
9 And every V offering of all the holy
things of the childreu of Israel, which
they bring unto the priest, shall' be his.
10 And every man's hallowed things
shall be his : whatsoever any man giveth
the priest, it shall be his.

there he no witness against her, neither

him, and he be jealous of his wife, and
she be defiled : or if the spirit of jealousy
come upon him, and he be jealous of his
wife, and she be not defiled \
15 Then shall the man bring his wife
unto the priest, and he shall bring her
offering? for her, the tenth part of an
ephah of barley meal ; he shaU pour no
oil upon it, nor put frankincense there-
on ; for it is an offering of jealousy, an
offering of memorial, bringing"* iniquity
to remembrance.
16 And the priest shall bring her near,
and set her before the Loed :
17 And the priest shall take holy water
in an earthen vessel ; and of the dust that
is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest
shall take, and put it into the water :

2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them. When either man or
woman shall ^separate themselves to vow
a vow of a Nazarite,* to separate them-
selves unto the Loed ;
3 He shall separate himself from * wine,
and strong drink, and shall drink no vine-
gar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink,
neither shall he drink any liquor of
grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
4 All the days of his f separation shall
he eat nothing that is made of the divine
tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
5 All the days of the vow of his sepa-
ration there shall no razor" come upon
his head : until the days be fulfilled, in
the which he separateth himself unto the
Loed, he shall be holy, and shall let the
locks of the hair of his head grow.
6 All the days that he separateth him-
self unto the Loed he shall come at no
dead body.*
7 He shall not make himself unclean
for his father, or for his mother, for his
brother, or for his sister, when they die ;
because the <^ consecration of his God is
upon his head.
8 All the days of his separation y he is
holy imto the Loed.
9 And if any man die very suddenly by
him, and he hath defiled the head of his con-

head of his separation at the door of the

holy for the priest, with the wave breast
and heave shoulder : and after that the
Nazarite may drink wine.

hath vowed, and of liis offering unto the
Lord for his separation, beside that that

which he vowed, so he must do after the
law of his separation.

Moses concerning the Levites, so did they
unto them.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
24 This is it that helongeth unto the
Levites: from*' twenty and five years old
and upward they shall go in to ^wait
upon the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation :

, CHAPTER IX.
,A"N^D the Lord spake unto Moses in the
wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of
the second year after they were come
out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Let the children of Israel also keep
the passover at his appointed season. «
3 In the fourteenth./ day of this month,
at yeven, ye shall keep it in his appointed
season: according to all the rites of it,
and according to all the ceremonies
thereof, shall ye keep it.
4 And Moses spake unto the children
of Israel, that they should keep the pass-
over.
5 Andfl* they kept the passover on the
fourteenth day of the first month, at even,
in the wUderness of Sinai: according to
all that the Loed commanded Moses, so
did the children of Israel.
6 And there were certain men who
were defiled* by the dead body of a man,
that they could not keep the passover on
that day : and* they came before Moses
and before Aaron on that day :
7 And those men said unto him, "We
are defiled by the dead body of a man:
wherefore are we kept back, that we may
not offer an offering of the Lord in his
appointed season among the children of
Israel ?
8 And Moses said unto them, Stand
stiU, and I will hear what the Lord will
command concerning you.
9 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying. If any man of you or of your
posterity shall be unclean by reason of
a dead body, or he in a journey afar off",
yet he shall keep the passover imto the
Lord.
11 The fourteenth^ day of the second
month, at even, they shall keep it, and eat
it with unleavened breads and bitter herbs.
12 They shall leave none* of it unto
the m9rning, nor break' any bone of it:
according to all the ordinances of the
passover they shall keep it.
13 But the man that is clean, and is
not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep
the passover, even the same souly shall
be cut off" from among his people : because
he brought not the offering of the Lord
in his appointed" season, that man shall
bear* his sin.
14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among
you, and will keep the passover unto the
Lord; according to the ordinance of the
passover, and according to the manner
thereof, so shall he do : ye shall have
one** ordinance, both for the stranger,
and for him that was born in the land.
15 And on the day that the tabernacle
was reared up, the cloud covered*' the
tabernacle, namely^ the tent of the testi-
mony: and at even' there was upon the
tabernacle as it were the appearance of
fire, until the morning.
16 So it was alway : the cloud"* covered
it by day^ and the appearance of fire by
night.
17 And when" the cloud was taken up
from the tabernacle, then after that the

children of Israel pitched their tents.
18 At the commandment of the Lord
the children of Israel journeyed, and at
the commandment of the Lord they
pitched : as long as the cloud abode upon
the*' tabernacle, they rested in their tents.
19 And when the cloud ^tarried long
upon the tabernacle many days, then the
children of_ Israel kept the charge'' of the
Lord, and journeyed not.
20 And so it was, when the cloud was
a few days upon the tabernacle; accord-
ing to the commandment of the Lord
they abode in their tents, and according
to the commandment of the Lord they
journeyed.
21 And so it was, when the cloud abode
5 from even unto the morning, and that
the cloud was taken up in the morning,
then they journeyed; whether it was by
day or by night that the cloud was taken
up, they journeyed.
22 Or whether it were two days, or a
month, or a year, that the cloud tarried
upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon,
the children of Israel abode' in their
tents, and journeyed not: but when it
was taken up, they journeyed.
23 At the commandment of the Lord
they rested in the tents, and at the com-
mandment of the Lord they journeyed:
they kept' the charge of the Lord, at
the"* commandment of the Lord by the
hand of Moses.

saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver ; of
a whole piece shalt thou make them : that
thou mayest use them for the calling" of
the assembly, and for the journeying of
the camps.
3 And when they shall blow" with
them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one
trumpet, then the princes, which are heads*
of the thousands of Israel, shall gather
themselves unto thee.
5 When ye blow an alarm," then the
camps that lie on the east* parts shall go
forward.
6 When ye blow an alarm the second
time, then the camps that lie on the
south* side shall take their journey : they
shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be
gathered together, ye shall blow, but ve
shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the'' priests,
shall blow with the trumpets ; and they
shall be to you for an ordinance for ever
throughout your generations.
9 And if ye go to war« in your land
against the enemy that oppresseth/ you,
then ye shall blow an alarm with the
trumpets; and je shall be remembered*
before the Lord your God, and ye shall
be saved* from your enemies.
10 Also' in the day of your gladness, and
in your solemn days, and in the beginnings
of your months, ye shall blow with the
trumpets over your burnt offerings, and
over the sacrifices of your peace offerings,
that they may be to you for a" memorial

Ilurmurings of the Israelites,
11 And it came to pass on the twentieth
day of the second month, in the second
year, that the cloud" was taken up from
oif the tabernacle of the testimony.
12 And the children of Israel took their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai ; '^
and the cloud rested in the wilderness of
Paran.«
13 And they first took their journey
according to the commandment of the
LoRD^ by the hand of Moses.
14 In the first place went the* standard
of the camp of the children of Judah ac-
cording to their armies : and over his host
ivas Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
15 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Issachar toas Nethaneel the
son of Zuar.
16 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun tvas Eliab the son of
Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was taken »* down ;
and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Me-
rari set forward, bearing" the tabernacle.
18 And the standard" of the camp of
Reuben set forward according to their
armies : and over his host ivas Elizur the
son of Shedeur.
19 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Simeon was Shelumiel the
son of Zurishaddai.
20 And over the hostofthetribeof the chil-
dren of G-ad loas Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
21 _ And the Kohathites set forward,
bearing the sanctuary:'" and ^the other did
set up the tabernacle against they came.
22 And the standard* of the camp of
the children ofEphraim set forward ac-
cording to their armies : and oyer his
host teas Elishama the son of Ammihud.
23 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Manasseh loas Gramaliel the
son of Pedahzur.
24 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Benjamin loas Abidan the
son of Grideoni.
25 And the standard ^ of the camp of the
children of Dan set forward, lohich ivas
the rerewardy of all the camps through-
out their hosts: and over his host toas
Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
2Q And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Asher ivas Pagiel the son
of Ocran.
27 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Naphtali tvas Ahira the
son of Enan.
28 Thus "were the journeyings of the
children of Israel according to their ar-
mies, when they set forward.
29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the
son of Raguel « the _ Midianite, Moses'
father in law, We are journeying unto the
place ^ of which the Lord said, 1/ will
give it you: come thou with us, and we
will do thee good: for the Lord hath
spoken good* concerning Israel.
30 And he said unto him, I wiU not
go; but I will depart to mine own land,
and to my kindred.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray
thee: forasmuch as thou knowest how
we are to encamp in the wilderness, and
thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.'
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us,
yea, it shall be, that what goodness the
Lord shall do unto us, the same" will
we do unto thee.

) because the fire of the Lord
burnt among them.
4 And the mixed ^ multitude that tvas
among them ^ fell a lusting : and the chil-
dren of Israel also "wept again, and said.
Who 9 shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we did
eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and
the melons, and the leeks, and the onions,
and the garlick :
6 But now* our soul is dried away:
there is notliing at all, beside this manna,
before our ej'^es.
7 And the manna tvas as coriander
seed, and the ^^ colour thereof as the
colour of bdellium. »
8 And the people went about, and ga-
thered it^ and ground it in mills, or beat
it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and
made cakes of it: and" the taste of it
was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew' fell upon the camp
in the night, the manna fell upon it,
10 Then Moses heard the people weep
throughout their families, every man in
the door of his tent : and the anger of the
Lord was kindled* greatly; Moses also
was displeased.*
11 And Moses said unto the Lord,
Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy ser-
vant? and wherefore have I not found
favour in thy sight, that thou layest the
burden of all this people upon me ?
12 Have I conceived all this people ?
have I begotten them, that thou shouldest
say unto me. Carry* them in thy bosom,
as a nursing father '^ beareth the sucking
child, unto the land which thou« swarest
unto their fathers ?
13 Whence ^^ should I have flesh to
give unto all this people? for they weep
unto me, saying, Grive us flesh, that we
may eat.
14 I» am not able to bear all this people
alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me,* kill
me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have
found favour in thy sight; and let me
not see my wretchedness.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses,
Grather unto me seventy"* men of the
elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to
be the elders of the people, and officers
over them ; and bring them vmto the

tabernacle of the congregation, that they
may stand there with thee.
17 And" I will come down and talk
with thee there: and I will take of the
spirit '^ which is upon thee, and will put
it upon them; and they shall bear the
burden of the people with thee, that thou
bear it not thyself alone.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanc-
tify"^ yourselves against to morrow, and
ye shall eat flesh : for ye have wept in the
ears/ of the Lord, saying, Who 5' shall
give us flesh to eat ? for it was well with
us in Egypt : therefore the Lord will
give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two
days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor
twenty days ;
20 But even a 'J whole month,' until
it come out at your nostrils, and it be
loathsome unto j'ou : because that ye
have despised the Loed which is among
ou, and have wept before him, saying,
hy came we forth out of Egypt ?
21 And Moses said. The people, among
wliom I am, are six hundred"* thousand
footmen; and thou hast said, I will give
them flesh, that they may eat a whole
month.
22 Shall" the flocks and the herds be
slain for them, to sufiice them? or shall
all the fish of the sea be gathered toge-
ther for them, to suffice them ?
23 And the Loed said unto Moses,
Is 9 the Loed's hand waxed short? thou
shalt see now whether'' my word shall
come to pass unto thee or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the
people the words of the Loed, and ga-
thered the seventy men of the elders of
the people, and set them round about the
tabernacle.
25 And the Loed came down* in a
cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the
spirit that tvas upon him, and gave it unto
the seventy elders : and it came to pass,
that, when*^ the spirit rested upon them,
they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men
in the camp, the name of the one was
Eldad, and the name of the other Medad :
and the spirit rested upon them ; and they
were of them that were written, but went
not out unto the tabernacle: and' they
prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and
told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad
do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Joshua the son _ of Nun, the
servant of Moses, one of his young men,
answered and said, My lord Moses, for-
bid ^ them.
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest
thou for my sake ? Would/ God that all the
Loed's people were prophets, and that the
Loed would put his spirit upon them !
30 And Moses gat him iuto the camp,
he and the elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from
the Lord, and brought* quails from the
sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it
were ^a day's journey on this side, and
as it were a day's journey on the other
side, round about the camp, and as it were
two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
32 And the people stood up all that
day, and all that night, and all the next
day, and they gathered the quails : he
that gathered least gathered tcn'^ homers:

and they spread tJiem all abroad for
themselves round about the camp.
33 And while * the flesh tvas yet be-
tween their teeth, ere it was chewed, the
wrath of the Loed was kindled against
the people, and the Loed smote the
people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place
Kibroth-hattaavah : ^because there they
buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed* from
Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth ; and
abode yat Hazeroth.

JLND Miriam and Aaron spake against
Moses because of tbe ^Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he* had mar-
ried fan Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, Hath the Loed in-
deed spoken only by Moses ? hath he
not spoken* also by us? And the Loed
heard ' it.
3 (Now the man Moses tvas very meek,
above all the men which ^oere upon the
face of the earth.)
4 And" the Loed spake suddenly unto
Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of
the congregation. And they three came
out.
5 And the Lord came down^ in the
pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door
of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and
Miriam : and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words :
If there be a prophet among you, I the
Loed will make myself known unto him
in a vision,* and will speak unto him in
a* dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is
faithful « in all mine house."
8 With him will I speak mout h '" to mouth,
even apparently, and not in dark speeches ;
and the similitude of the Loed shall he be-
hold: wherefore then were ye not^ afraid
to speak agiinst my servant Moses ?
9 And the anger of the Loed was kin-
dled against them ; and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from ofi"
the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam be-
came leprous,* wJdte as snow; and Aaron
looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she
was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas,
my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin
upon us, wherein we have done fool-
ishly,*' and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom
the flesh is half consumed when he com-
eth out of his mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the Loed, say-
ing. Heal* her now, O God, I beseech thee.
14 And the Loed said unto Moses, If
her father had but spit in her face, should
she not be ashamed seven days ? let her be
shut outi' from the camp seven days, and
after that let her be received in again.
15 And Miriam was shut out from the
camp seven days : and the people journey-
ed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the people removed
from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wil-
derness of Paran.

3 And Moses by the commandment of
the Lord sent them" from the Avilder-

of the children of Israel.
4 And these tvere their names : of the
tribe of Beuben, Shammua the son of
Zaccnr.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the
son of Hori.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son
of Jephunneh.
7 Of the tribe of Tssachar, Igal the son

8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea/ the

9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the

10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel

13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the
sou of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son
of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men which
Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses
called Oshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua. "
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the
land of Canaan, and said unto them. Get
you up this loaij southward," and go up
into the mountain : p
18 And see the land, what '\i isi and the
people that dwelleth therein, whether
they he strong or weak, few or many ;
19 And what the laud is that they dwell
in, whether it he good or bad; and what
cities they he that they dwell in, whether

20 And what the land is, whether it he
fat*" or lean, whether there be wood therein,
or not: and be ye of good courage,* and
bring of the fruit of the land. Now the
time xoas the time of the firstripe grapes.
21 So they went up, and searched the
land, from the wilderness of Zin" unto
Eehob, "" as men come to Hamath.
22 AJnd they ascended by the south, and
came unto Hebron, where Ahiman, She-
shai, and Talmai, the children of* Anak,
xoere. (Now Hebron^ was built seven
years before Zoau " in Egypt.)
23 And they came unto the V brook of
Eshcol, ^ and cut down from thence a branch
with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it
between two upon a staff; and they hr ought
of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the V brook
Eshcol, S because of the cluster of grapes
which the children of Israel cut down
from thence.
25 And they returned from searching
of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and
to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the
children of Israel, unto the wilderness of
Paran, to Kadesh; "* and brought back word
unto them, and unto all the congregation,

1 that dwell in the land, and the cities are
walled, and very great ; and moreover
we saw the children of Anak * there.
29 The Amalekites'' dwell in the land
of the south; and the Hittites, and the
Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the
mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by
the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb '^ stilled the people be-
fore Moses, and said, Let us go up at
once and possess it ; for we are weU * able
to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him
said. We be not able to go up against the
people ; for they are stronger than we.
32 Audi' they brought up an evil re-
port of the land which they had searched
unto the childi'en of Israel, saying. The
land, through Avhich we have gone to
search it, is a land that eateth up the in-
habitants thereof; and^ all the people that
we saw in it are men of P a great stature. *
33 And there we saw the giants, the
sons of Anak, * ivhich come of the giants ;
and we were in our own sight as grass-
hoppers, ^' and so we were in their sight.
. CHAPTER XIV.
ii-ND all the congregation lifted up
their voice, and cried ; and the people
wept ^ that night.
2 And all the children of Israel mur-
mured '"■ against JMoses and against Aaron :
and the whole congregation said unto
them, Would God that we had died in
the land oi Egypt ! or would God we had
died in tliis wilderness !
3 And wherefore hath the Loed brought
us unto this land, to fall by the sword,
that our wives and our children should
be a prey? were it not better for us to
return into Egypt ?
4 And they said one to another, Let us
make a captain, and let us returns into
Egypt.
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell_ on their
faces* before all the assembly of the con-
gregation of the children of Israel.
6 And Joshua" the son of Nun, and Caleb
the son of Jephunneh, ivhich tvere of them
that searched the land, rent their clothes :
7 And they spake unto all the company
of the children of Israel, saying. The
land, which we passed through to search
it, is an exceeding good land.
8 If the Lord dehghty in us, then he
will bring us into this land, and give it us ;
a land wmch floweth with * milk and honey.
9 Only rebel*' not ye against the Lord,
neither fear'' ye the people of the land;
for they are bread « for us: their f de-
fence is departed from them, and the
Lord is with us :/ feari' them not.
10 But all the congregation bade stone
them* with stones. And* the glory of
the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of
the congregation before all the cliildreu
of Israel.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses,
How long will this people provoke* me?
and how long will it be ere they believe
me,' for all the signs which I have
shewed among them ?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence,
and disinherit them, and will make of" thee
a greater nation and mightier than they.
13 And Moses" said unto the Lord,
Then' the Egyptians shall hear it, (for
thou broughtest up this people in thy
might from among them ;)

14 And they will tell it to the inhabit-
auts of this land: for they have* heard
that thou, Lord, art among this people ;
that thou, LoED, art seen*' lace to face;
and that thy cloud '^ standeth over them;
and that thou/ goest before them, by
day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a
pillar of fire by night.
15 Now, if thou shalt kill all this
people as one man, then the nations
which have heard the fame of thee will
speak, saying,
16 Because* the Loed was not able to
bring this people into the land which he
sware unto them, therefore he hath slain
them in the wilderness.
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the
power"* of my Lord be great, according
as thou hast spoken, " saying,
18 The Lord is longsuffering, and of
great mercy, forgiving " iniquity and
transgression, and by no means clearing
the guilty; visiting? the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation.
19 Pardon, » I beseech thee, the iniquity
of this people, according unto the great-
ness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven
this people, fx'om Egypt even V until now.
20 And the Lord said, I have par-
doned, according * to thy word :
21 But as truly as I live, all" the earth
shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 Because all those men which have
Been my glory, and my miracles, which I
did in Egypt and in the wilderness, have
tempted me now these ten times, and
have not hearkened to my voice ;
23 S Surely* they shall not see the land
which I sware unto their fathers, neither
shall any of them that provoked me see it :
24 But my servant Caleb, y because he
had another spirit with him, and hath
followed me fully, him wUl I bring into
the land whereinto he went j and his seed
shall possess it.
25 (Now the Amalekites and the Ca-
naanites dwelt in the valley.) To mor-
row turn you, and get you into the wil-
derness by the way ot the Red Sea.
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,
27 How long * shall I hear with this evil
congregation, which murmur against me?
I have heard* the murmurings of the
children of Israel, which they murmur
against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live,
saith the Loed, as ye have spoken in
mine ears, so wiU I do to you :
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wil-
derness ; and all that were * numbered
of you, according to your whole num-
ber, from twenty years old and upward,
which have murmm-ed against me,
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the
land concerning which I V sware to make
you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of
Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 But your little ones, which ye said
should be a prey, them will I bring in,
and they shall know the land which ye
have despised. '
32 But as for you, your carcases, »• they
shall fall in this wilderness.
33 And your children shall ^wander
in" the wilderness fortjr years, and bear
yourP whoredoms, untH your carcases
be wasted in tbe Avilderness.

34 After the number of the days in
which ye searched the land, even forty*
days, each day for a year, shall ye bear
j your iniquities, even forty years ; and ye
shall know my P breach « of promise :
35 I i' the Lord have said, I will surely
do it unto all this evil* congregation,
that are gathered together against me; in
this wilderness they shall be consumed,
and there they shall die.
36 And the men' which Moses sent to
search the land, who returned, and made all
the congregation to murmur against him,
by bringing up a slander upon the land,
37 Even those men, that did bring up
the evil report upon the land, died' by
the plague before the Lord.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh, xvhich tvere
of the men that went to search the land,
hsed P still.
39 And Moses told these sayings unto
all the children of Israel: and the people
mourned »" greatly.
40 And they rose up early in the nioru-
ing, and gat them up into the top of the
mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and
will go up unto tne place which the Lord
hath promised : for we have sinned.
41 And Moses said. Wherefore now do
j'e transgress the commandment** of the
Lord ? but it shall not prosper.
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not
among you; that ye be not smitten be-
fore your enemies.
43 Eor the Amalekites and the Ca-
naanites are there before you, and ye
shall fall by the sword: because"' ye are
turned away from the Lord, therefore
the Lord will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up unto
the hill top: nevertheless the ark* of the
covenant of the Lord, and Moses, de-
parted not out of the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites came down,
and the Canaanites which dwelt in that
hill, and smote them, and discomfited
them, even unto Hormah. ^
. CHAPTER XV.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the childi'en of Israel,
and say unto them. When ye be come
into the land of your habitations, which
I give imto you,
3 And*^ wiU make an ofiering by fire
unto the Loed, a burnt offering, or a
sacrifice in ^performing a vow, « or in
a freewill offering, or in your solemn
feasts,/ to make a sweet savour^ unto
the Loed, of the herd, or of the flock ;
4 Then shall he that offereth his offer-
ing unto the Loed bring a meat offering'
of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the
fourth part of an hin of oil. *
5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine
for a drink offering shalt thou prepare,
with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for
one lamb.
6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for
a meat offering two tenth deals of flour
mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
7 And for a drink offering thou shalt
offer the third part of an hin of wine, for
a sweet savour xmto the Loed.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock
for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in
performing a vow, or" peace offerings
unto the Loed ;
9 Then shall he bring ? with a bullock a

meat offering of three tenth deals of flour
mingled with half an hin of oil.
10 And thou shalt bring for a drink
offering laalf an hin of wine, for an offer-
ing made by fire, of a sweet savour unto
the Lord.
11 Thus" shall it be done for one bul-
lock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
12 According to the number that ye
shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one
according to their number.
13 All that are born of the country
shall do these things after this manner,
in offering an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the Lord.
14 And if a stranger sojourn with you,
or whosoever be among you in your gene-
rations, and will offer an offering made
by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord ;
as ye do, so he shall do.
15 One * ordinance shall be both for you
of the congregation, and also for the
stranger that sojourneth loith you, an or-
dinance for ever in your generations : as
ye are, so shall the stranger be before the,
Lord.
16 One law and one manner shall be
for you, and for the stranger that sojourn-
eth with you.
17 And theLoRD spake unto Moses,saying,
18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When™ ye come into the
land whither I bring you,
19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat
of the bread of the land," ye shall offer
up an heave offering unto the Lord.
20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the^ first
of your dough for an heave offering : as
ye do the heave offering 9 of the thresh-
ingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
21 Of the first of your dough ye shall
give unto the Lord an heave offering in
your generations.
22 And if ye have erred," and not 9b-
served all these commandments, which
the Lord hath spoken unto Moses,
23 Even all that the Lord hath com-
manded you by the hand of Moses, from
the day that the Lord commanded Moses,
and henceforward among your generations ;
24 Then it shall be, if ought be commit-
ted by ignorance V without the knowledge
of the congregation, that all the congre-
gation shall offer one young bullock for
a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto
the Lord, with^ his meat offering, and his
drink offering, according to the ^manner,
and one kid* of the goats for a sin offering.
25 And the priest shall make an atone-
ment for all the congregation of the chil-
dren of Israel, and it shall be forgiven
them ; for it is ignorance : « and they shaU
bring their offering, a sacrifice made by
fii'e unto the Lord, and their sin offering
before the Lord, for their ignorance :
26 And it shall be forgiven all the con-
gregation of the children of Israel, and the
stranger that sojourneth among them ;
seeing all the people ivere in ignorance.
27 And if* any soul sin through igno-
rance, then he shall bring a she goat of
the first year for a sin offering.
28 And" the priest shall make an atone-
ment for the soul that sinneth ignorantly,
when he sinneth by ignorance before the
Lord, to make an atonement for him;
and it shall be forgiven him.
,29 Ye shall have one law for him that
sinneth ^j through ignorance, both for him

head, and ^ fell flat on his face.
32 And the angel of the IjOED said unto
him. Wherefore hast thou smitten thine
ass« these three times? behold, I went
out 7 to withstand thee, because thtj''' way
is pei'verse/ before me :
33 And the ass saw me, and turned from
me these three times: unless she had
turned from me, surely now also I had
slain thee, and saved her alive.
34 And Balaam said unto the angel of
the Loed, If have sinned; for I knew
not that thou stoodest in the way against
me: now therefore, if it ^displease thee,
I^ will get me back again.
35 And the angel of the Loed said unto
Balaam, Go* with the men: but''^ only
the word that I shall speak unto thee,
that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went
with the princes of Balak,
36 And when Balak heard that Balaam
was come, he went out to meet him unto
a city of Moab, which is in the border of
Arnon, Avhich is in the utmost coast.
37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I
not earnestly send unto thee to call thee ?
wherefore camest thou not unto me? am
I not able indeed to promote J' thee to
honour ?
38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I
am come unto thee : have I now any power
at all to say any thing ? the word*" that God
putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and
they came unto ^i Kirjath-huzoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep,
and sent to Balaam, and to the princes
that tvere with him.
41 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Balak took Balaam, and brought him
up into the high" places of Baal, that
thence he might see the utmost part of
the people.
. CHAPTER XXIIL
And Balaam said unto Balak,« Build
me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven oxen and seven rams.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken ;
and Balak and Balaam offered"' on every
altar a bullock and a ram.
3 And Balaam said unto Balak,* Stand
by thy burnt offering, and I will go: perad-
venture the Loed will come to meet me :
and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell
thee. And he went ^ to an high place.
4 Andy God met Balaam : and he said
unto him, I have prepared seven altars,
and I have offered upon every altar a
bullock and a ram. .
5 And the Loed put* a word in Ba-
laam's mouth, and said, Return unto
Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6 And he returned unto him; and, lo,
he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and
aU the princes of Moab.
7 And he took up his parable,'' and said,
Balak the king of Moab hath brought me
from Aram, out of the mountains of the
east, saying. Come, curse** me Jacob, and
come, defy* Israel. ^ , , ^i
8 How/ shall I curse, whom God hath
not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom
the Lord hath not defied ?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see
him, and from the hUls I behold him:
lo, the people shall dwell alone, ^ and
shall' not be reckoned among the nations.
BalaawHs parables, and
NUMBEES, XXIV. predictions of Israel 's prosper It i/.
10 Wlio« can count the dust of Jacob,
and the number of the fourth part of
Israel? Let ^me die the death* of the
righteous, and let my last end be like his !
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What
hast thou done unto me? I"* took thee
to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou
hast blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said,f Must
I not take heed to speak that which the
LoED hath put in my mouth ?
13 And Balak said unto him, Come,
I pray thee, with me unto/ another place,
from whence thou mayest see them :
thou shalt see but the utmost part of
them, and shalt not see them all; and
curse me them from thence.
14 And he brought him into the field
of Zophim, to the top of ^Pisgah, and
built' seven altars, and offered* a bul-
lock and a ram on even/ altar.
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here
by thy burnt ofiering, while I meet the
LORD yonder.
16 And the Loed met Balaam, and
put' a word in his mouth, and said. Go
again unto Balak, and say thus.
17 And when he came to him, behold, he
stood by his burnt offering, and the princes
of Moab with him. And Balak said unto
him, What^ hath the Loed spoken?
18 And he took up his parable, and
said, Kise'' up, Balak, and hear; hearken
unto me, thou son of Zippor :
19 Grod* is not a man, that he should
lie ; neither the son of man, that he
should repent : hath he said, and shall
he not do it ? or hath" he spoken, and
shall he not make it good ?
20 Behold, I have received command-
ment to bless, and he" hath blessed; and
I cannot"" reverse it.
21 He* hath not beheld iniquity in
Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness
in Israel : the LoEDJ' his Grod is with him,
and the shout* of a king is among them.
22 God« brought them out of Egypt : he
hath* as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23 Surely there is no enchantment
against ^ Jacob, neither is there any divi-
nation against Israel: according to this
time it shall be said of Jacob and of
Israel, What'' hath God wrought 1
24 Behold, the people shall rise up'' as a
great lion, and lift up himself as a young
lion : he shall not lie down* mitil he eat o/
the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Nei-
ther curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26 But Balaam answered/ and said unto
Balak, Told not I thee, saying. All that
the Loed speaketh, that I must do ?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come,
I pray thee, I vrill bring thee unto another
place : peradventure it will please God
that thou mayest curse me them from
thence.
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the
top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimou.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build
me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven bullocks and seven rams.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and
offered a bullock and a ram on everi/ altar.

40 And Moses told the children of
Israel, according to aU that the Loed
commanded Moses.
. CHAPTER XXX.
JLND Moses spake unto the heads* of
the tribes concerning the children of Is-
rael, saying, This is the thing which the
Loed hath commanded.
2 If a man vow • a vow unto the Loed,
or swear'' an oath to bind his soul with
a bond ; he shall not ^ break his word,
he shall do' according to all that pro-
ceedeth out of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vov/ a vow unto the
Loed, and bind herself by a bond, being
in her father's house in her youth ;
4 And her father hear her vow, and
her bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul, and her father shaU hold his peace
at her ; then all her vows shall stand, and
every bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the
day that he heareth ; not any of her
vows, or of her bonds, whei'ewith she
hath bound her soul, shaE stand: and
the Loed shall forgive her, because her
father disallowed her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, Avhen
she Avowed, or uttered ought out of her
lips, wherewith she bound her soul ;
7 And her husband heard it, and held his
peace at her in the day that he heard it;
then her vows shall stand, and her bonds
wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband'" disallowed her
on the day that he heard it ; then he shall
make her vow which she vowed, and that
which she uttered with her lips, where-
with she bound her soul, of none effect:

16 These are the statutes which the
Loed commanded Moses between a man
and his wife; between the father and his
daughter, being yet in her youth in her
father's house.
» CHAPTER XXXL
-cLND the Loed spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge/ the children of Israel of the
Midianites : afterward shalt thou be ga-
thered J? unto thy people.
3 And Moses spake unto the people,
saying. Arm some of yourselves unto the
war, and let them go against the Midian-
ites, and avenge the Loed of Midian.
4 Of V every tribe a thousand, through-
out all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send
to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the
thousands of Israel, a thousand of every
tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a
thousand of everii tribe, them and Phi-
nehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the
war, with the holy instruments, and the
trumpets to'" blow, in his hand.
7 And they warred against the Midian-
ites, as the Loed commanded Moses ;
and" they slew all the males.
8 And" they slew the kings of Midiau,
beside the rest of them that were slain:
namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and
Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian:
Balaam also, the son of Beor, they slew
with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took all the
women of Midian captives, and their little
ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle,
and aU their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And theyP burnt aU their cities
wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly
castles, with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil,? and
aU the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and
the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses and
Eleazar the priest, and unto the congre-
gation of the children of Israel, unto the
camp at the plains' of Moab, which are
Of the spoil of the Midianites, NUMBERS, XXXII. and the distribution thereof.
by Jordan near Jericho.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and
all the princes of the congregation, went
forth to meet them without the camp.
14 And Moses was wroth with the
officers of the host, tvith the captains over
thousands, and captains over hundreds,
which came from the ^ battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have
ye saved all the women "■ alive ?
16 Behold, these * caused the children of
Israel, through the counsel " of Balaam, to
commit trespass against the Loed in the
matter of Peor, and there was a plague
among "^ the congregation of the Loed.
17 Now therefore « kiU every male among
the little ones, and kill every woman that
hath known man by lying with 7 him.
18 But aU the women children, that
have not known a man by lying with him,
keep alive for yourselves.
19 And do ye abide without the camp
seven days: whosoever «' hath kiUed any
person, and whosoever hath touched any
slain, purify both yourselves and your cap-
tives onthe third day,and on the seventh day.
20 And purify aU your raiment, and all
that Sis made of skins, and all work of
goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto
the men of war which went to the battle,
This is the ordinance of the law which
the Loed commanded Moses ;
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the
brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 Every thing that may abide the fire,
ye shall make it go through the fire, and
it shall be clean ; nevertheless it shall be
purified * with the water of separation :
and aU that abideth not the fire ye shaU
make go through tlie water.
24 And* ye shall wash your clothes on
the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and
afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 And the Loed spake unto Moses,
saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey »? that was
taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and
Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers
of the congregation ;
27 And divide ' the prey into two parts ;
between them that took the war upon
them, who went out to battle, and be-
tween all the congregation.
28 And levy a tribute" unto the Loed
of the men of war which went out to
battle: one" soul of five hundred, both of
the persons, and of the beeves, and of the
asses, and of the sheep :
29 Take it of their half, and give it unto
Eleazar the priest, for an heave ofiering
of the Loed.
30 And of the children of Israel's half,
thou shalt take' one portion of fifty, of the
persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of
the ^flocks, of all manner of beasts, and
give* them unto the Levites, which' keep
the charge of the tabernacle of the Loed.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest
did as the Loed commanded Moses.
32 And the booty, being the rest of the
prey w^iich the men of war had caught,
was six hundred thousand and seventy
thousand and five thousand sheep,

by lying with him.
36 And the half, lohich teas the portion
of them that went out to war, was in num-
ber three hundred thousand and seven and
thirty thousand and five hundred sheep :
37 And the Loed's tribute of the sheep
was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 And the beeves -were thirty and six
thousand ; of which the Loed's tribute
toas threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses tvere thirty thousand
and five hundred ; of which the Loed's
tribute ivas threescore and one.
40 And tlie persons ivere sixteen thou-
sand ; of which the Loed's tribute tvas
thirty and two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, toJiich
was the Loed's heave ofiering, unto
Eleazar the priest, as/ the Loed com-
manded Moses.
42 And of the children of Israel's half,
which Moses divided from the men that
warred,
43 (Now the half that pertained unto
the congregation was three hundred thou-
sand and thirty thousand and seven thou-
sand and five hundred sheep,
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 And thirty thousand asses and five
hundred,
46 And sixteen thousand persons,)
47 Even* of the children of Israel's
half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both
of man and of beast, and gave them unto
the Levites, which kept the charge of the
tabernacle of the Loed ; as the Loed
commanded Moses.
48 And the officers which toere over
thousands of the host, the captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds,
came near unto Moses :
49 And they said unto Moses, Thy ser-
vants have taken the sum of the men of
war which are under our ^charge, and
there lacketh not one man of us.
50 We have therefore brought an obla-
tion for the Loed, what every man hath
gotten,^ of jewels of gold, chains, and
bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets,
to make"* an atonement for our souls
before the Loed.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took
the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52 And all the gold of the "ofi'eriug
that they ofiered up to the Loed, of the
captains of thousands, and of the cap-
tains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand
seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 (For the men of war had^' taken
spoil, every man for himself.)
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest
took the gold of the captains of thou-
sands and of hundreds, and brought it
into the tabernacle of the congregation,
/or'" a memorial for the children of Israel
before the Loed.
•Ty-y CHAPTER XXXII.
JM OW the children of Reuben, and the
children of Gad, had a very great mul-
titude of cattle: and when they saw the
land of Jazer," and the land of *'Gilead,
that, behold, the place ^oas a place'" for
cattle ;
2 The children of Gad, and the children
of Reuben, came and spake unto Moses,
and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the
princes of the congregation, saying,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon,' and Jazer, and
Hequest of the Ueubealtes, S^c. NUMBEES, XXXIII,
respecting their inheritance.
Nimrali,'^ and Heslibou,* and Elealeh,
and Shebam/ and Nebo, and B eon,''
4 Eoen the countr}^/ wliicli the Lord
smote before the congregation of Israel, is
a land for cattle, and thy servants have
cattle :
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have
found grace in thy sight, let this land be
given unto thy servants for a possession,
and bring us not over Jordan.
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad
and to the children of Reuben, Shall your
brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here ?
7 And wherefore ^discourage j'e the
heart of the children of Israel from
going over into the land which the Lord
hath given them ?
8 Thus did your fathers, when^' I sent
them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
9 For when they went up unto the valley
of Eshcol, and saw the laud, they dis-
couraged the heart of the children of
Israel, that they should not go into the
land which the Lord had given them,
10 And-^ the Lord's anger was kindled
the same time, and he sware, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came
up out of Egypt, from twenty years old
and upward, shall see the land which I
sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and
unto Jacob ; because ' they have 7 not
Avholly followed me ;
12 Save Caleb the sou of Jephunneh
the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun ;
for they have wholly followed the Lord.
13 And the Lord's anger was kindled
against Israel, and he made them" wander
in the wilderness forty years, until^ all
the generation that had done evil in the
sight of the Lord was consumed.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in
your fathers' stead, an increase 9 of sinful
men, to augment'" yet the fierce anger of
the Lord toward Israel.
15 For if" ye turn away from after him,
he will yet again leave'" them in the wil-
derness, and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 And they came near unto him, and
said, We Avill build sheepfolds here for
our cattle, and cities for our little ones ;
17 But we'' ourselves will go ready armed
before the children of Israel, until we have
brought them unto their place: and our
little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities,
because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We« will not return unto our houses,
until the children of Israel have inhe-
rited every man his inheritance :
19 For we will not inherit with them
on yonder side Jordan, or forward ; be-
causei' our inheritance is fallen to us on
this side Jordan eastward.
20 And* Moses said unto them, If ye
will do this thing, if ye will go armed
before the Lord to war,
21 And will go all of you armed over
Jordan before the Lord, until he hath
driven out his enemies from before him,
22 And the land be subdued* before
the Lord ; then afterward ' ye shall re-
turn, and be guiltless before the Lord,
and before Israel ; and this land shall be
your possession before the Lord.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold,
ye have sinned against the Lord : and
be sure your sin" will find you out.
24 Build P you cities for your little
ones, and folds for your sheep ; and do that
which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou
mightest know that the Loed he is God ;
tJiere is none else beside liim.

thee : and upon earth he shewed thee his
great fire ; and thou heardest his words

37 And because he* loved thy fathers,
therefore he chose their seed after them,
and brought thee out in his sight with
his ' mighty power out of Egypt ;
38 To drive out nations from before
thee greater'^ and mightier than thou art
to bring thee in, to give thee their hind
for an inheritance, as it is this day.
39 Know therefore this day, and consi-
der*' it in thine heart, that* the Lord he

command thee this daj% that it may go

thy God giveth thee, for ever.
41 Then Moses severed three cities on
this side Jordan toward the sun rising ;
42 That" the slayer might flee thither,
which should kill his neighbour un-
awares, and hated him not in times past;
and that fleeing unto one of these cities
he might live :
43 Nameh/, Bezer^ in the wilderness, in
the plain country, of the Eeubenites ;
and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites;
and Golan in Bashan, of the Manas-
sites.
44 And this is the law which Moses
set before the children of Israel :
45 These are the testimonies,* and the
statutes, * and the judgments, " which Mo-
ses spake unto the children of Israel,
after they came forth out of Egypt,
46 On this side Jordan, in the'" valley
oyer against Beth-peor, in the land of
Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt
at Heshbon, whom Moses and the child-
ren of Israel smote, ^ after they were
come forth out of Egypt :
47 And they possessed his land, and
the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings
of the Amorites, which loere on this side
Jordan toward the sun rising ;
48 Erom Aroer,'' which is by the bank of
the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion,
which is Hermon,/
49 And all the plain on this side Jordan
eastward, even unto the sea of the plain,
under the springs 9 of Pisgah.

to receive the tables of stone, even the
tables of the covenant which the Loed
made with you, then I" abode in the
mount forty days and forty nights ; I
neither did eat bread nor diink water :
10 And the'' Loed delivered unto me
two tables of stone, written with the
finger of G-od : and on them was written
according to aU the words which the
Loed spake with you in the /mount,
out of the midst of the fire, iu the day of
the assembly.
11 And it came to pass, at the end of
forty days and forty nights, that the
Loed gave me the two tables of stone,
even the tables of the covenant.'
12 And the Loed said unto me, Arise,
get thee down quickly from hence ; for
thy peo^e wliich thou hast brought forth
out of Egypt have corrupted themselces :
they are quickly" turned aside out of
the way which I commanded them; they
have made them a molten image.
13 Furthermore, the Loed spake^ unto
me, sayrag, I have seen this people, and
behold, it is a stifihecked' people :
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy
them, and blot* out their name from un-
der heaven : and* I wHl make of thee a
nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So^ I turned, and came down from
the mount, and'" the mount bm-ned with
fire: and the two tables of the covenant
ivere in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had
sinned against the Loed your G-od, and
had made you a molten calf: ye had
turned aside quickly out of the way
which the Loed had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast
them out of my two hands, and brake
them before your eyes.
18 And I* fell down before the Loed,
as at the first, forty days and forty nights :
I did neither eat bread, nor drink water,
because of aU your sins which ye sinned,
in doing wickedly^ in the sight of the
Loed, to provoke him to anger :
19 For I was afraid'' of the anger andhot dis -
pleasure wherewith the Loed was wroth
against you to destroy you. But/ the Loed
hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 And the Loed was very angry with
Aaron to have destroyed him : and I
prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 And* I took j^our sin,' the calf which
ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and
stamped it, and groimd it very smalL
even until it was as small as dust : and I
cast the dust thereof into the brook that
descended out of the mount.
22 And at Taberah,' and at "'Massah,
and at Kibroth-hattaavah," ye provoked
the Loed to wrath.
23 Likewise, when*" the Loed sent you
from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and
possess the land which I have given you ;
then ye rebelled against the command-
ment of the Loed your G-od, and *j;e
believed biTn not, nor hearkened to his
voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious " against
the Loed from the day that I knew you.
25 Thus'" I fell down before the Loed
forty days and forty nights, as I fell
down at the first; because the Loed
had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed J' therefore unto the Loed,
and said, O Lord G-od, destroy not thy
Renewing the two tables.

thou hast redeemed through thy great-
ness, which thou hast brought forth out

Isaac, and Jacob : look not unto the

not able to bring them into the land
which he promised them, and because he
hated them, he hath brought them out to
slay them in the wUderness.
29 Yet? they are thy people, and thine
inheritance, which thou broughtest out
by thy mighty power, and by thy stretch-
ed out arm.
* CHAPTER X.
J\-T that time the Loed said unto me.
Hew* thee two tables of stone like unto
the first, and come up unto me into the
mount, and make thee an ark'" of wood :
2 And I will write on the tables the
words that were in the first tables which
thou brakest, and thou shalt put them
in the ark.
3 And I made an ark ofv shittim wood,
and hewed two tables of stone like unto
the first, and went up into the mount,
haying the two tables in mine hand.
4 And he wrote* on the tables, accord-
ing to the first writing, the ten ^com-
mandments, which" the Loed spake un-
to you in the mount out of the midst
of the fire, in the day of the assembly :
and the Loed gave them unto me.
5 And I turned myself and came do^^Ti
from the mount, and put the tables in the
ark which I had made; and'' there they
be, as the Loed commanded me.
6 And*^ the children of Israel took
their journey from Beeroth of the chil-
dren of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron
died, and there he was buried ; and
Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's
office in his stead.
7 From thence they journeyed unto
Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jot-
bath, a land of rivers of waters.
8 At that time-'' the Loed separated
the tribe of Levi, to bears' the ark of the
covenant of the Loed, to stand* be-
fore the Loed, to minister* imto liim,
and to bless '^ in his name, unto this
day.
9 Wherefore' Levi hath no part nor in-
heritance with his brethren: the Loed is
liis inheritance, according as the Loed
thy God promised him.
10 And I stayed in the mount, accord-
ing to the ^first time, forty days and
forty nights; and the Loed hearkened™
unto me at that time also, and the Loed
would not destroy thee. _
11 And the Loed said unto me. Arise,
take "n thy journey before the people, that
they may go in and possess the land
which I sware unto their fathers to give
unto them.
12 And now, Israel, what" doth the
Loed thy God require of thee, but to
fear" the Loed thy God, to^ walk in all
his ways, and to love 9 him, and to*" serve
the Loed thy God with aU thy heart and
with aU thy soul,
13 To keep the commandments of the
Lord, and liis statutes, which I com-
mand thee this day, for* thy good ?

14 Behold, the* heaven and the heaven
of*^ heavens is the Loed's thy God, the
earth "^ also, with all that therein is.
15 Only the Loed had a dehght in thy
fathers to love them, and he chose their
seed after them, even you above all peo-
ple, as it is this day,
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of
your heart, ' and be no more stiffhecked.
17 For the Loed your God is^ God of
gods, and Lord"* of lords, a great God,
a mighty," and a terrible, which*' regard-
eth not persons, nor taketh reward :
18 He^ doth execute the judgment of
the fatherless and widow, and loveth the
stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 LovC ye therefore the stranger: for
ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear the Loed thy God;
him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt
thou cleave,* and swear" by his name.
21 He is thy praise," and he is thy
God, that hath done for thee these great
and terrible tilings, which thine eyes
have seen,
22 Thy fathers went down into* EgjT^t
with threescore and ten persons ; and
now the Loed thy God hath made thee
as the stars of heaven for multitude.
m CHAPTER XL
iHEREFORE thou shalt love the
Loed thy God, and keep his charge, and
his statutes, and his judgments, and his
commandments, alway.
2 And know ye this day: for I speaJc
not with 3'our children which have not
known, and which have not seen the
chastisement* of the Loed your God,
his greatness, his mighty hand, and his
stretched out arm,
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which
he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pha-
raoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his
land:
4 And what he did unto the army of
Egypt, unto their horses, and to their
chariots; how he made the water* of
the Red sea to overflow them as they
pursued after you, and hoio the Loed
hath destroyed them unto this day ;
5 And what he did unto you in the
wilderness, until ye came into this
place ;
6 And what he did unto Dathan and
Abiram, the sons of EHab, the son of Reu-
ben: how the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed them up, and thefr house-
holds, and their tents, and aU the y sub-
stance that ^was in their possession, in
the midst of aU Israel :
7 But your eyes have seen aU the great
acts of the Loed which he did.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the com-
mandments which I command you this
day, that ye may be strong, and go in
and possess the land, whither ye go to
possess it ;
9 And that ye may prolong your days
in the land, which the Loed sware unto
your fathers to give unto them and to
their seed, a land that floweth with milk
and honey.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in
to possess it, is not as the land of Egjipt,
from whence ye came out, where* thou
sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with
thy foot, as a garden of herbs :
11 But the land, whither ye go to pos-
sess it, is a land of hills and vaUeys, and

drinketh water of the rain of heaven ;
12 A land which the Lord thy God
careth ^ for : the eyes" of the Lord thy Grod
are always upon it, from tlie beginning of
the year even unto the end of the year.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye
shall hearken dihgently* unto my com-
mandments which I command you this
day, to'' love the Lord your God, and
to serve him with all your heart, and
with all your sqid,
14 That* I will give you the rain of your
land in his due season, the/ first rain and
the latter rain, that thou mayest gather
in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
15 And* I will y send grass m thy fields for
thy cattle, that thou mayest eat' and be full.
16 Take heed' to yourselves, that your
heart"* be not deceived, and ye turn aside,
and serve other gods, and worship them ;
17 And then the Lord's wrath" be
kindled against you, and he shut^ up the
heaven, that there be no rain, and that
the land j^ield not her fruit; and lest ye
perish quickly from off tne good land
wliich the Lord giveth you.
18 Therefore shall ye lay up* these my
words in your heart and in your soid,
and" bind them for a sign upon your
hand, that they may be as frontlets be-
tween your eyes.
19 And* ye shall teach them your
children, speaking of them when thou
sittest in thine house, and when thou
walkest by the way, when thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.
20 And thou shalt write them upon
the door posts of thine house, and upon
thy gates ;
21 That* your days may be multiplied,
and the days of your children, in the
land which the Lord sware unto your
fathers to give them, as the days * of
heaven upon the earth.
22 For if ye shall dihgently keep all
these commandments which I command
you, to do them ; to love the Lord your
G-od, to walk in all his ways, and to
cleave* unto him ;
23 Then will the Lord drive/ out all
these nations from before you, and ye
shall possess greater nations and mightier
than yourselves.
24 Every place whereon' the soles of
your feet shall tread shall be yours : from
the* wilderness and Lebanon, from the
river, the river Euphrates, even unto the
uttermost sea, shall your coast be.
25 There™ shall no man be able to stand
before you : for the Lord yoiu* God shall
lay the fear" of you and the dread of you
upon all the land that ye shall tread
upon, as he hath said" unto you.
26 Behold, 1p set before you this day
a blessing and a curse :
27 A blessing,^ if ye obey the com-
mandments of the Lord your God,
which I command you this day ;
28 And a curse," if ye will not obey the
commandments of the Lord your God,
but turn aside* out of the way which I
command you this day, to go after other
gods, which ye have not known.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the
Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto
the land whither thou goest to possess it,
that thou shalt put* the blessing upon
mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount
Ebal.

30 Are they not on the other side Jor-

31 For ye shall pass over Jordan, to

Lord your God giveth you, and ye
shall possess it, and dwell therein.
32 And ye shall observe'' to do all the
statutes and judgments which I set be-
fore you this day.
rn CHAPTER XII.
XHESE^ are the statutes and judgments
which ye shall observe to do in the land
which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth
thee to possess it, aU* the days that ye
live upon the earth.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy" aU the
places wherein the nations which ye shall
possess S served their gods, upon the high
mountains,? and upon the mils, and un-
der every green tree :
3 And ye shall ^overthrow their altars,
and break their pillars, and burn then*
groves* with fire ; and ye shall hew down
the graven images of their gods, and de-
stroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Ye" shall not do so unto the Lord
your God.
5 But unto the place «" which the Lord
your God shall choose out of aU your
tribes to put his name there, even unto
his habitation shall ye seek, and tliither
thou shalt come :
6 And thither y ye shall bring your
burnt ofierings, and your sacrifices, and
yom' tithes,* and heave offerings of your
hand, and your vows, and your freewill
ofierings, and the firstlings of your herds
and of your flocks :
7 And there ye shall eat before the
Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice
in" all that ye put your hand unto, ye
and your households, wherein the Lord
thy God hath blessed thee.
8 Ye shall not do _ after aU the things
that we do here this day, every** man
whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
9 For ye are noti' as yet come to the
rest and to the inheritance, which the
Lord your God giveth you.
10 But ichen ye go over Jordan,* and
dwell in the land which the Lord your
God giveth you to inherit, and lohen he
giveth you rest from all your enemies
round about, so that ye dwell in safety ;
11 Then there shall be a place' which
the Lord your God shall choose, to
cause his name to dwell there; thither
shall ye bring all that I command you ;
your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices,^
your tithes, and the heave offering ol
your hand, and all lyour choice vows
which ye vow imto the Lord :
12 Ajid ye shall rejoice'' before the Lord
your God, ye, and your sons, and your
daughters, and your menservants, and
your maidservants, and the Levite that
is within your gates ; forasmuch as he
hath no** part nor inheritance with you.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer
not thy burnt offerings in every » place
that thou seest :
14 But in the place which the Lord shall
choose in one of thy tribes, there '"thou
shalt offer thy buimt offerings, and there
thou shalt do aU that I command thee.
15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kOl
Blood forhiddeiU
and eat flesh in all thy gates, Avhatsoever
thy" soul lusteth after, according to the
blessing of the Lord thy Grod which he
hath given thee : the*' unclean and the
clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck,
and as of the hart.
16 Only ye shall not eat the blood;/ ye
shaU pour it upon the earth as water.
17 Thou mayest not eat witliin thy
gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy Avme,
or of thy oil, or the firsthngs of thy
herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows
which thou vowest, nor thy freewill of-
ferings, or heave offering of thine hand :
18 But* thou must eat them before the
Lord thy G-od in the place which the
Lord thy Grod shall choose, thou, and
thy sou, and thy daughter, and thy man-
servant, and thy maidservant, and the
Levite that is within thy gates : and thou
shalt rejoice before the Lord thy Grod in
all" that thou puttest thine hands unto.
19 Take" heed to thyself that thou
forsake not the Levite ^as long as thou
livest upon the earth.
20 When the Lord thy G-od shall en-
large* thy border, as he hath' promised
thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh,
because thy soul longeth to eat flesh,
thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy
soul lusteth after.
21 If the place which the Lord thy God
hath chosen to put his name there be too
far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy
herd and of thy flock, which the Lord
hath given thee, as I have commanded
thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates
whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
22 Even* as the roebuck and the hart
is eaten, so thou shalt eat them; the un-
clean and the clean shall eat of them
ahke.
23 Only be ^sure that thou eat not the
blood : fory the blood is the life ; and thou
mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Thou shalt not eat it ; thou shalt
pour it upon the earth as water.
25 Thou shalt not eat it ; that ' it may
go well with thee, and with thy cluldren
after thee, when* thou shalt do that tvMch
is right in the sight of the Lord.
26 Only thy holy'' things which thou
hast, and thy vows,*' thou shalt take, and
go unto the place which the Lord shall
choose :
27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offer-
ings, the flesh and the blood, upon the
altar/ of the Lord thy God: and the
blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured
out upon the altar of the Lord thy God,
and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28 Observe^ and hear all these words
which I command thee, that it may go
well with thee, and with thy children
after thee for ever, when thou doest that
which is good and right in the sight of
the Lord thy God.
29 When the Lord thy God shall cut
off'' the nations from before thee, whither
thou goest to possess them, and thou ^ suc-
ceedest them, and dwellest in then* land ;
30 Take heed to thyself, that thou be
not snared "by following"* them, after
that they be destroyed from before thee;
and that thou inquire not after their gods,
saying. How did these nations serve

y CHAPTER XIII.
JLP there arise among you a prophet, or
a dreamers' of dreams, and giveth thee
a sign * or a wonder,
2 And the sigu or the wonder come * to
pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying,
Let lis go after other gods, which thou
hast not known, and let us serve them ;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto tlie
words of that prophet, or that di'eamer
of dreams : for the Lord your God
proveth' you, to know whether ye love
the Lord youi- God with all your heart
and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall Avalk™ after the Lord your
God, and fear him, and keep his com-
mandments, and obey his voice, p and
ye shall serve him, and cleave ^ imto
liim.
5 And*" that prophet, or that dreamer of
dreams, shall be put to death; because
he hath spoken Vto turn you away from
the Lord your God, which brought you
out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed
you out of the house of bondage, to
thrust thee out of the way which the
Lord thy God commanded thee to walk
in : So shalt « thou put the evil away
from the midst of thee.
6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother,
or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife "
of thy bosom, or thy friend,"" which is as
thine own soul, entice thee secretly, say-
ing. Let us go and serve other gods, which
thou hast not known, thou, nor thy
fathers ;
7_ Namely^ of the gods of the people
wliich are round about you, nigh unto
thee, or far off from thee, from the one
end of the earth even unto the other end
of the earth ;
8 Thou shalt not consent « unto liim, nor
hearken unto him; neither shall thine
eye pity liim, neither shalt thou spare,
neither shalt thou conceal Mm ;
9 But thou shalt surely kill him ; thine
hand« shall be first upon him to put him
to death, and afterwards the hand of all
the people.
10 And thou shalt stone him with
stones, that he die; because he hath
sought to thrust thee away from the
Lord thy God, wliich brought thee out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of
f bondage.
11 And^ all Israel shall hear, and fear,
and shall do no more any such wicked-
ness as this is among you.
12 If thou shalt hear' say in one of thy
cities, wliich the Lord thy God hath
given thee to dwell there, saying,
13 Certain men, "n the children of Belial,
are gone out from among you, and have
withdrawn' the inhabitants of their city,
saying. Let us go and serve other gods,
which ye have not known ;
14 Then shalt thou inquu'e, and make
search, and ask dihgently; and, behold,
if it he truth, and the thing certain, that
such abomination is wrought among
you;

sword, destroying" it utterly, and aU
that is therein, and the cattle thereol,
with the edge of the sword.
16 And thou shalt gather aU the spoil
of it into the midst of the street thereof,
and shalt bum with fire the city, and aU
the spoil thereof every whit, for the Lord
thy Grod: and/ it shall be an heap for
ever ; it shall not be built again.
17 And there shall cleave nought of the
cursed /^thuigi' to thine hand: that the
Lord may turn* from the fierceness of his
anger, and shew* thee mercy, and have
compassion' upon thee, and multiply "*
thee, as he hath sworn" unto thy fathers :
18 When thou shalt hearken to the
voice of the Lord thy G-od, to keep^ all
his commandments which I command
thee tliis day, to do that tohich is right in
the eyes of the Lord thy G-od.

X E are the children^ of the Lord your
G-od: ye shall not cuf yourselves, nor
make any baldness between your eyes
for the dead :
2 For thou art an holy« people uuto the
Lord thy God, and the Lord hath
chosen thee to be a peculiar people* unto
himself, above all the nations that are
upon the earth. .
3 Thou shalt not eat'" any abommable
thing.
4 These are the beasts which ye shall
eat : the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the
fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the ^ py-
garg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 And every beast that parteth* the
hoof; and cleaveth the cleft into two
claws, and cheweth the cud among the
beasts, that ye shall eat.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat
of them that chew the cud, or of them
that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel,
and the hare, and the coney: for they
chew the cud, but divide not the hoof;
therefore they are imclean unto you.
8 And the swine, because it divideth the
hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is un-
clean unto you : ye shall not eat of their
flesh, nor touch« their dead carcase.
9 These/ ye shall eat of aU that are in
the waters : aU that have fins and scales
shall ye eat :
10 And whatsoever hathnotfins and scales
ye may not eat ; it is imclean unto you.

18 And the stork, and the heron after

thee, and will put my words in his

one of those cities, and Hve :
6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue
the slayer, while his heart is hot, and
overtake m'Tri, because the way is long,
and slay ^ him ; whereas he ^vas not wor-
thy of death, inasmuch as he hated him
not in V time past.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying,
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
8 And if the Loed thy God « enlarge
thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fa-
thers, and give thee aU the land which
he promised'' to give imto thy fathers ;
9 If thou shalt keep all these com-
mandments to do them, which I com-
mand thee this day, to love the Loed
thy God, and to walk ever in his ways;
then shalt thou add/ three cities more
for thee, beside these three :
10 That innocent blood be not shed in
thy land, which the Loed thy God giveth
thee for an inheritance, and so blood be
upon thee.
11 But* if. am' man hate his neighbour,
and lie in wait lor him, and rise up against
him, and smite him *? mortally that he
die, and fleeth into one of these cities :
12 Then the elders of his city shall
send and fetch liim thence, and dehver
him into the hand of the avenger of
blood, that he may die.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but
thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent
blood from Israel, that it may go well
with thee.
14 Thou shalt not remove thy neigh-
bour's landmark," which they of old time
have set in thine inlieritance, which thou
shalt inherit in the land that the Loed
thy God giveth thee to possess it.
15 One*" witness shall not rise up against
a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in
any sin that he sinneth : at the mouth
of two witnesses, or at the mouth of
three witnesses, shall the matter be es-
tablished.
16 If a false witness rise up against
any man, to testify against him ^that
lohich is AATong ;
17 Then both the men, between whom
the controversy is^ shall stand before the
Loed, before the priests and the judges
which shall be in those days ;
18 And the judges shall make dihgeut
inquisition : and, behold, if the witness
he a false witness, and hath testified
falsely against his brother ;
19 Then' shall ye do unto him as he
had thought to have done unto his bro-
ther: so shalt thou put the evil away
from among you.
20 And those which remain shall hear,
and fear, and shall henceforth commit
no more any such evil among you.
21 And thine eye shaU not pity; 'hut
Hfe shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
CHAPTER XX
Vy HEN thou goest out to battle against
thine enemies, and seest horses,* and
chariots, and a people more than thou, be
not afraid of them: for the Loed thy
God is with thee, which brought thee up
out of the land of Egypt.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come
nigh unto the battle that the priest shall
approach, and speak unto the people,
Lmos to he olserved
DEUTEEONOMY, XXI.
Of uncertain murder.
3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O
Israel ; ye approach this day unto bat-
tle against your enemies : let not your
hearts ^ faint ; fear not, and do not
tremble, Y neither be ye terrified * because
of them ;
4 For'' the Loed yoiu- Grod is he that
goeth with you, to fight for you against
your enemies, to save 5'ou.
5 And the ofiicers shall speak unto the
people, saying. What man is there that
hath built a new house, and hath not
dedicated'^ it? let him go and retm'n to
his house, lest he die in the battle, and
another man dedicate it.
6 And what man is lie that hath planted
a vineyard, and hath not yet ^ eaten of
it? let him also go and return unto his
house, lest he die in the battle, and ano-
ther man eat of it.
7 And what man is there that hath be-
trothed a wife, and hath not taken her ?
let« him go and return imto his house,
lest he die in the battle, and /another
man take her.
8 And the officers shall speak farther
unto the people, and they shall say,
What^ man is there that is fearful and
fainthearted? let him go and retm-n unto
his house, lest* his brethren's heart ^ faint
as well as his heart.
9 And it shall be, when the officers
have made an end of speaking imto the
people, that they shall make captains of
the armies " to lead the people.
10 WTien thou comest nigh unto a city
to fight against it, then proclaim ''peace
imto it.
11 And it shall be, if it make thee an-
swer of peace, and open imto thee, then
it shall be, that aU the people that is
foimd therein shaU be tributaries imto
thee, and they^ shall serve thee.
12 And if it will make no peace with
thee, but will make war against thee,
then thou shalt besiege it :
13 And when the Loed thy Grod hath
dehvered it into thine hands, thou >" shalt
smite every male thereof with the edge
of the sword.
14 But the women, and the Httle ones,
and the cattle," and all that is in the city,
even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou i^ take
unto thyself; and thou" shalt eat the
spoil of thine enemies, which the Loed
thy Grod hath given thee.
15 Thus shalt thou do unto aU the cities
lohich are very far off from thee, which
are not of the cities of these nations.
16 But of the cities of these people,
which the Loed thy Grod doth give thee
for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive
nothing* that breatheth :
17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them ;
namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites,
the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites : as the Loed
thy Grod hath commanded tnee :
18 That* they teach you not to do after
aU their abominations, which they have
done imto their gods; so should ye sin
against the Loed your Grod.
19 When thou shalt besiege a city a
long time, in making war against it to
take itu thou shalt not destroy the trees
thereoi by forcing an axe against them :

shalt not cut them down (for '^the tree

kno-nm who hath slain him ;
2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall
come forth, and they shall measure unto
the cities which are round about liim that
is slain :
3 And it shall be, that the city wIdcJi
is next unto the slain man, even the
elders of that city shall take an heifer,
which hath not been wi-ought with, and
which hath not di'awn in the yoke ;
4 And the elders of that city shall bring
down the heifer unto a rough vaUey, which
is neither eared nor sown, and shaU strike
ofi" the heifer's neck there m the valley.
5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall
come near; for them^ the Loed thy God
hath chosen to minister unto him, and to
bless* in the name of the Loed ; and by
their >?word shall every' controversy and
every stroke be tried:
6 And aH the elders of that city, that
are next unto the slain man, shall '»_ wash
their hands over the heifer that is be-
headed in the vaUey :
7 And they shall answer and say. Our
hands have not shed this blood, neither
have our eyes seen it.
8 Be merciful, O Loed, unto thy peo-
ple Israel, whom thou hast redeemed,
and lay not" innocent blood ^ unto thy
people of Israel's charge. And the blood
shall be forgiven them.
9 So shalt thou put away« the guilt of
innocent blood from among you, when
thou shalt do that lohich is right in the
sight of the Loed.
10 When thou goest forth to war against
thine enemies, and the Loed thy God
hath dehvered them into tliine hands,
and thou hast taken them captive,
11 And seest among the captives a beau-
tiful woman,* and hast a desire xmto her,
that thou wouldest have her to thy -wife ;
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to
thine house ; and she shall shave*" her
head, and "pare her nails ;
13 And she shall put the raiment of her
captivity fr-om ofi* her, and shall remain
in thine house, and bewail her"' father
and her mother a fuU month: and after
that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her
husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14 And it shall be, if thou have no de-
hght in her, then thou shalt let her go
whither she will ; but thou shalt not v sell
her at all for money, thou shalt not make
merchandise of her, because thou hast
himibled" her.
15 If a man have two wives, one be-
loved,* and another hated,'' and they have
bom him children, hoth the beloved and
the hated; and if the firstborn son be
her's that was hated :
16 Then it shall be, when he maketh
liis sons to inherit that which he hath,
that he may not make the son of the be-
loved firstborn before*^ the son of the
hated, ivhich is indeed the firstborn :
The ioicJced son.

17 But lie shall acknowledge tlie son
of the hated for the firstborn, by« giving
him a double portion of all that ^ he hath :
for he is the beginning of his strength;
the right" of the firstborn is his.
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebel-
lious son, wloich will not obey^ the voice
of his father, or the voice of his mother,
and that, when they have chasteneds' him,
will not hearken unto them ;
19 Then shall his father and his mother
lay hold on him, and bring him out unto
the elders of his citj^, and unto the gate
of his place :
20 And they shall say unto the* elders
of his city. This our son is stubborn and
rebeUious ; he will not obey' our voice;
he is a glutton,* and a drunkard.
21 Arid' aU the men of his city shall
stone him with stones, that he die:'" so
shalt thou put evil away from among
you : and aU Israel shall hear, and fear.
22 And if a man have committed a sin
worthy" of death, and he be to be put to
death, and thou hang him on a tree ;
23 His" body shall not remain all night
upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise
bury him that day ; (for he that is hanged
is ^accursed of Grocl;) that thy land be
not^ defiled, which the Loed thy Grod
giveth thee/o?' an inheritance.

shalt bring it unto thine own house, and
it shall be with thee until thy brother

3 In Hke manner shalt thou do with liis

12 Thou shalt make thee fringes* upon
the four V quarters of thy vesture, where-
with thou coverest thyself.
13 If any man take a wife, and go*^ in
unto her, and hate her,
14 And give occasions/ of speech against
her, and bring up an evil name upon her,
and say, I took this woman, and, when I
came to her, I found her not a maid :
15 Then shall the father of the damsel,
and her mother, take and bring forth the
tokens of the damsel's vfrginity unto the
elders of the city in the gate :
16 And the damsel's father shall say
unto the elders, I gave my daughter imto
this man to wife, and he hateth her ;
17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of
speech against her, saying, I found not
thy daughter a maid; and yet these are
the tokens of my daughter's virginity;
And they shall spread the cloth before
the elders of the city.
18 And the elders of that city shall
take that man, and chastise him ;
19 And they shall amerce him in an
hundred shekels of silver, and give them
xmto the father of the damsel, because he
hath brought up an evil name upon a
virgin of Israel: and she shall be his
wife; he 9 may not put her away aU his
days.
20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens
of vu'ginity be not found for the damsel :
21 Then they sbaU bring out the dam-
sel to the door of her father's house, and
the men of her city shall stone her with
stones that she die ; because she hath
wrought folly* in Israel, to'* play the
whore in her father's house : so " shalt
thou put evil away from among you.
22 If"" a man be found lying Avith a wo-
man married to an husband, then they
shall both of them die, hoth the man that
lay with the woman, and the woman: so
shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
23 If a damsel that is a virgin be be-
trothed ^ unto an husband, and a man find
her in the citj', and He with her ;
24 Then ye shall bring them both out
unto the gate of that cits'-, and ye shall
stone them with stones that they die ; the
damsel, because she cried not, heing in
the city: and the man, because he hath
humbled^ his neighbour's wife : so*' thou
shalt put away evil from among you.
25 But if a man find a betrothed dam-
sel in the field, and the man f force her,
and lie with her ; then the man only that
lay with her shall die :
26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do
nothing; there is in the damsel no sin
loorthy of death : for as when a man riseth
against his neighbour, and slayeth him,
even so is this matter :
27 For he found her in the field, and
the betrothed damsel cried, and there
loas none to save her.
28 If' a man find a damsel that is a vir-
gin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on
her, and He with her, and they be found ;
29 Then the man that lay with her shaU
give unto the damsel's father fifty 5Ae^e^6'
of silver, and she shaU be his wife: be-
cause he hath humbled her, he may not
put her away aU his days.
30 A"' man shaU not take his father's
wife, nor discover^ his father's skirt.

^^ CHAPTER XXIY.
W HEN a man hath taken a wife, and
married her, and it come to pass that
she find no favour in his eyes, because
he hath found V some uncleanness in her ;
then let him -svrite her a bill of ^ divorce-
ment,^ and give it in her hand, and send
her out of his house.
2 And when she is departed out of his
house, she may go and be another man's
icife.
3 And if the latter husband hate her,
and write her a biU. of divorcement, and
giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out
of his house ; or if the latter husband die,
which took her to he his wife,
4 Her former husband, which sent her
away, may not take her again' to be his
wife, after that she is defiled; for that is
abomination before the Lord: and thou
shalt not cause the land" to sin, which
theLoRD thy God giveth thee for an in-
heritance.
5 When*' a man hath taken a_ new wife,
he shaU not go out to Avar, ^ neither shall
he be charged with any business : hut he
shall be free at home one year, and shall
cheer ^ up his wife which he hath taken.
6 No man shall take the nether or the
upper millstone to pledge : for he taketh
a mail's life to pledge.
7 If y a man be found stealing any of his
brethren of the childi-en of Israel, and
maketh merchandise of him, or selleth
him ; then that thief shall die ; and thou
shalt put" evil away fi'om among you.
8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy,*
that thou observe diligently, and do ac-
cording to all that the priests the Levites
shall teach you: as I commanded them,
so ye shall observe to do.
9 Remember what the Lord thy God
did unto Mii'iam/ by the way, after that
ye were come forth out of Egypt.
10 When thou dost ^ lend thy brother
any thing, thou shalt not go into his
house to retch his pledge.
11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the
man to whom thou dost lend shall bring
out the pledge abroad unto thee.

vant that is poor and needj'', whether he
he of thy brethren, or of thy strangers
that are in thy land within thy gates :
15 At his day thou shalt give ?iim his

16 The fathers <* shall not be put to death
for the children, neither shall the children
be put to death for the fathers : every man
shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment
of the stranger, nor ol the fatherless ; ^ nor
take the widow's raiment to pledge :
18 But/ thou shalt remember that thou
wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord
thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore
I command thee to do this thing.
19 When* thou cuttest Aovra thine har-

in the field, thou shalt not go again to
fetch it : it shall be for the stranger, for
the fatherless, and for the widow: that
the Lord thy G-od may bless thee in all
the work of thine hands.
20 When thou beatest thine olive tree,
thou shalt not f go over the boughs again :
it shall be for the stranger, for the father-
less, and for the widow.

2 And it shall be, if the wicked man
he worthy to be beaten,* that the judge
shall cause him to Ue down, and to be
beaten before his face, according to his
fault, by a certain number.
3 Forty stripes he may give him, and
not exceed: lest, if he should exceed,
and beat him aoove these with many
stripes, then thy brother should seem
vile * unto thee.
4 Thou" shalt not muzzle the ox when
he ^ treadeth out t?ie corn.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one
of them die, and have no child, the wife
of the dead shall not marry without un-

which she beareth shall succeed* in the

-A-ND Moses with the elders of Israel
commanded the people, saying, Keep aU
the commandments which I command
you this day.
2 And it shall be on the day' when ye
shall pass over Jordan unto the land
wliich the Lord thy G^od giveth thee,
that thou shalt set thee up great stones,
and plaster them with plaster :
3 And" thou shalt write upon them aU
the words of this law, when thou art
passed over, that thou mayest go in unto

thee, a land that floweth with milk and
honey ; as _ the Lord God of thy fathers

56 The tender and dehcate woman among
you, which would not adventure to set the
sole of her foot upon the ground for deu-
cateness and tenderness, her eye shall be
evn toward the husband of her bosom, and
toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her /3 young one that
cometh out from between her feet, and
toward her children '^ which she shall
bear: for she shall eat« them for want of
all things secretly in the siege and strait-
ness, wherewith thine enemy shall dis-
tress thee in thy gates.
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the
words of this law that are written in this
book, that thou maj^est fear this glori-
ous* and fearful' name, THE* LOED
THY' GOD;
59 Then the Lord wiU make thy plagues
wonderftd," and the plagues of thy seed,
even great plagues, and of long conti-
nuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long
continuance.
60 Moreover, he will bring upon thee
all the diseases 9 of EgjiJt, which thou
wast afraid of; and they shall cleave
unto thee.
61 Also ^ every sickness, and every
plague, which is not written in the book
of this law, them will the Lord ^ bring
upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62 And ye shall be left few ' in number,
whereas ye were as the** stars of heaven
for multitude ; because thou wouldest not
obey the voice of the Loed thy God.
63 And it shall come to pass, that as the
Loed rejoiced over you to do you^ good,
and to multiply you ; so the Loed will
rejoice over you to destroy « you, and to
bring you to nought; and ye shall be
plucked from off the land whither thou
goest to possess it.
64 And the Lord shall scatter '^ thee
among all people, from the one end of
the earth even unto the other ; and there
thou shalt serve other gods, which nei-
ther thou nor thy fathers have known,
even wood and stone.
65 And/ among these nations shalt thou
find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy
foot have rest : but the Loed shaU give
thee there a trembling heart, and failing
of eyes, and sorrow of mind :
66 And thy life shall hang in doubt
before thee : and thou shalt fear day and
night, and shalt have none assui'ance of
thy Ufe :
67 In the morning* thou shalt say.
Would God it were even! and at even
thou shalt say. Would God it were morn-
ing! for the tear of thine heart where-
with thou shalt fear, and for the sight
of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
68 And the Loed shaU bring thee into
Eg}T)t* agaia with ships, by the way
whereof I spake' unto thee. Thou shalt
see it no more again: and there ye shall
be sold unto yom* enemies for bondmen
and bondwomen, and no man shall buy
l/ou.
rp CHAPTER XXIX.
xHESE are the words of the covenant,
which the Loed commanded Moses to
make with the children of Israel in the
land of Moab, beside the covenant which
he made" with them in Horeb.
2 And Moses called unto aU Israel, and
said unto them, Ye have seen aU that the

Lord did" before your eyes in the laud
of Egypt unto Pliaraoli, and unto all his
servants, and unto all his land ;
3 The great temptations * which thine eyes
have seen, the signs, and those great miracles :
4 Yet the Lord bath not given you an
heart '^ to perceive, and eyes to see, and
ears to hear, vmto this day.
5 And I have led you forty j'ears m
the wilderness: your clothes/ are not
waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is
not waxen old upon thy foot.
6 Ye have not* eaten bread,' neither
have 3^e drunk wine or strong drink :
that ye might know that I am the Lord
your Grod.
7 And when ye came tmto this place,
Sihon^ the king of Heshbon, and Og the
king of Bashan, came out against us unto
battle, and we smote them :
8 And we took their land, and gave it
for an inheritance unto the Reubenites,
and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe
of Manasseh.
9 Keep™ therefore the words of this
covenant, and do them, that ye may
prosper in all that ye do.
10 Ye stand this day all" of you before
the Lord j^our God; your captains of
your tribes, your elders, and your officers,
with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and
thy stranger that is in thy camp, from
the hewer'" of thy wood unto the drawer
of thy water :
12 That thou shouldest & enter into
covenant with the Lord thy God, and
into Ills oath,* which the Lord thy God
maketh with thee this day :
13 That he may establish" thee to day
for a people unto himself, and thatlxQ may
be unto thee a God, as he hath said" unto
thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers,
to Abraham,* to Isaac, y and to Jacob.*
14 Neither with you only do I make
this covenant and tliis oath ;
15 But* with him that standeth here
with us this day before the Lord our
God, and also with him that is not here
with us this day :
16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in
the land of Egj'pt; and how we came
through the nations which ye passed by ;
17 And ye have seen their abominations,
and their ^ idols, wood and stone, silver
and gold, which were among them :)
18 Lest there should be among you man,
or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart
turneth away this day from the Lord our
God, to go and serve the gods of these
nations ; lest there should be among you a
root that beareth ^gall^ and wormwood ;/
19 And it come to pass, when he heareth
the words of this curse, that he bless him-
self in his heart, saying, I shall have peace,
though I walk in the *« imagination of mine
heart, to add ^ drunkenness*' to thirst :
20 The Lord will not spare him, but
then the anger* of the_ Lord and his jea-
lousy'^ shall smoke against that man, and
aU the curses that are \\Titten in this book
shall He upon him, and the Lord shall
blot out' his name from under heaven.
21 And the Lord shall separate™ him
unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, ac-
cording to aU the curses of the covenant
that /* are vn*itten in tliis book of the law :
22 So that the generation to come of
your children, that shall rise up after you.

which ^the Lord hath laid upon it ;
23 And that the whole land thereof is
brimstone, and salt,*' and burning, that it
is not sown, nor beareth, '" nor any grass
groweth therein, like the overthrow of
Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and
Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew s' in
his anger, and in his WTath ;
24 Even aU nations shall say, Where-
fore* hath the Lord done thus unto this
land ? what meaneth the heat of this great
anger ?
25 Then men shall say, Because they
have forsaken the covenant of the Lord
God of their fathers, which he made with
them when he brought them forth out of
the land of Egypt :
26 For they went and served other
gods, and worshipped them, gods whom
they knew not, and Hwhom he had not
given 5 unto them :
27 And" the anger of the Lord was kin-
dled against this land, to bring upon it all
the curses that are written in this book :
28 And the Lord rooted? them out of
their land in anger, and in wrath, and in
great indignation, and cast them into an-
other land, as it is this day.
29 The secret 9 things belong unto the
Lord our God: but those things tohich
are revealed* belong unto us, and to our
children for ever, that toe may do all the
words of this law.
. CHAPTEE XXX.
-A.ND it shall come to pass, when all
these things are come upon thee, the
blessing and the curse, which I have set
before thee, and thou shalt caR them to
mind"* among all the nations whither the
Lord thy God liath driven thee,
2 And shalt return" unto the Lord thy
God, and shalt obey his voice according
to all that I command thee this day, thou
and thy children, with all thine heart,
and with aU thy soul ;
3 That then the Lord thy God will
turn thy captivity, and have compassion
upon thee, and will return and*' gather
thee from all the nations, whither the
Lord thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If'^ ant/ of thine be driven out unto
the utmost parts of heaven, from thence
will the Lord thy God gather thee, and
from thence will he fetch thee :
5 And the Lord thy God will bring
thee into the land which thy fathers pos-
sessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he
will do thee good, and multiply thee
above thy fathers.
6 And the Lord thy God will circum-
cise thine heart, and the heart of thy
seed, to love the Lord thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul, that
thou mayest live.
7 And the Lord tliy God will put aU
these curses upon thine enemies,* and on
them that hate thee, which persecuted
thee.
8 And thou shalt return and obey the
voice of the Lord, and do aU his command-
ments, which I command thee this day.

over thee for good, as he rejoiced over
thy fathers ;
10 If thou shalt hearken* unto the voice
of the Lord thy God, to keep" his com-
mandments and his statutes which are
written in this book of the law, and if
thou turn*^ unto the LoED thy God, with
all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I
command thee this day, it is not/ hidden
from thee, neither is it far off.
12 It^ is not in heaven, that thou
shouldest say, WTio shall go up for us to
heaven, and bring it unto us, that we
may hear it, and do it ?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that
thou shouldest say, Who shall go over
the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that
V>'e may hear it, and do it ?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee,
in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou
mayest do it.
15 See, I*' have set before thee tliis day
life and good, and death and evil ; ^
16 In that I command thee this day to
love 5 the Loed thy God, to walk in his
ways, and to keep*" his commandments
and his statutes and his judgments, that
thou mayest live and midtiply: and the
liOED thy God shall bless thee in the
land whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart ^ turn away, so
that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be
drawn away, and worship other gods,
and serve them ;
18 I" denounce unto you this day, that
ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall
not prolong your days upon the land,
whither thou passest over Jordan to go
to possess it.
19 I* call heaven^ and earth* to record
this day against you, tJiat I have set
before yoii life and death, blessing and
cursing : therefore choose life, that both
thou and thy seed may hve :
20 That thou mayest love the Loed
thy God, and that thou mayest obey his
voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto
him ; for he is thy life,*' and the length of
thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the
land which the Loed sware unto thy
fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, to give them.

And Moses went, and spake these
words unto all Israel.
2 And he said xmto them, I ami> an
hundred and twenty years old this day;
I can no more go out and come in : also
the Loed hath said* unto me, Thou
shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 The Loed thy God, he* wiU go over
before thee, and he will destroy these
nations from before thee, and thou shalt
possess them: and Joshua, he shall go
over before thee, as the Loed hath^ said.
4 And the Loed shall do unto them as
he did™ to Sihon and to Og, kings of the
Amorites, and imto the land of them
whom he destroyed.
5 And the Loed shall give" them up
before your face, that ye may do unto
them according unto all the command-
ments which I have commanded you.
6 Be^ strong and of a good courage,' fear
not, nor be afraid of them : for the Loed
thy God, he it is that doth go with thee ;

said unto him in the sight of all Israel,
Be* strong and of a good courage : for
thou must go with this people unto the
land which the Loed hath sworn unto
thefr fathers to give them; and thou
shalt cause them to inlierit it.
8 And the Loed, he* it is that doth
go before thee ; he will be with thee, he
wills' not fail thee, neither forsake thee:
fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 And Moses wrote this law, and de-
livered' it unto the priests the sons of
Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant
of the Loed, and imto all the elders of
Israel.
10 And Moses commanded them say-
mg, At the end of every seven years, in
the solemnity of the year of ^ release, in
the feast' of tabernacles,
11 When aU Israel is come to"' appear
before the Loed thy God in the place
which he shaU choose, thou shalt" read
tliis law before all Israel in thefr hearing.
12 Gather^ the people together, men,
and women, and children, and thy
stranger that is within thy gates, that
they may hear, and that they may learn,
and fear the Loed your God, and ob-
serve to do all the words of this law ;
13 And that thefr children,* which have
not known any thing^ may hear, and
learn to fear the Loed your God, as
long as ye live in the land whither ye
go over Jordan to possess it.
14 And the Loed said unto Moses,
Behold, thy days approach that thou
must die x"^' call Joshua, and present your-
selves in the tabernacle of the congrega-
tion, that I may give him a charge.'" And
Moses and Joshua went and presented
themselves in the tabernacle of the con-
gregation.
15 And" the Loed appeared in the
tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and
the pillar of the cloud stood over the
door of the tabernacle.
16 And the Loed said imto Moses, Be-
hold, thou shalt Asleep with thy fathers;
and this people will rise* up and go a whor-
ing*^ after the gods of the strangers of the
land, whither they go to be among them,
and will forsake me, and break my cove-
nant which I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled
against them in that day, and I« wiU
forsake them, and I will hide/ my face
from them, and they shall be devom'ed.
and many evils and troubles shall y befall
them; so that they will say in that day.
Are not these evils come upon us, because
our God is not' among us ?
18 And I will surely hide my face in
that day, for all the evils which they shall
have wrought, in that they are turned
unto other gods.
19 Now therefore write ye this song
for you, and teach it the children of
Israel: put it in thefr mouths, that this
song may be a witness for me against the
children of Israel.
20 For when I shall have brought them
into the land which I sware unto thefr
fathers, that lloweth with milk and honey ;
and they shall have eaten and <> filled
themselves, and waxen fat ; then will
they turn unto other gods, and serve
them, and provoke me, and break my
covenant.
21 And it shall come to pass, when' many
Apostasy foretold.

The song of Moses.
evils and troubles are befallen them, that
this song shall testify ^against them as a
witness ; for it shall not be forgotten out
of the mouths of their seed: for I* know
their imagination wliich they Vgo about,
even now, before I have brought them
into the land which I sware.
22 Moses therefore wrote this song the
same day, and taught it the children of
Israel.
23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun
a charge, and said, Be strong and of a
good courage: for thou shalt bring the
children of Israel into the land which I
sware unto them : and I will be with thee.
24 And it came to pass, when Moses had
made an end of writing the words of this
law in a book, until they were finished,
25 That Moses commanded the Levites,
wliich bare the ark of the covenant of the
LoED, saying,
26 Take this book of the law, and put
it in the side of the ark of the covenant
of the LoED your Grod, that it may be
there* for a witness against thee.
27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy
stiff neck: behold, while I am yet aHve
with you this day, ye have been rebel-
lious™ against the Loed; and how much
more after my death ?
28 Gather" unto me all the elders of
youi* tribes, and your officers, that I may
speak these words in their ears, and^ call
heaven and earth to record against them.
29 For I know that after my death ye
will utterly corrupt « yourselves, and turn
aside from the way which I have com-
manded you; and evil*" wiU befaU you
in the latter days; because ye will do
evil in the sight of the Loed, to provoke
him to anger through the work of your
hands.
30 And Moses spake in the ears of all
the congregation of Israel the words of
this song, until they were ended.

2 My doctrine shall drop" as the rain,

3 Because I will publish the name of the

for all his ways* are judgment: a God

Jordan on di-y land.
23 For the Loed your God di-ied up the
waters of Jordan from before you, until
ye were passed over, as the Loed yom*
God did'' to the Red sea, Avhich he dried up
from before us, imtil we were gone over :
24 Thaf^ all the people of the earth
might know the hand of the Loed, that
it is mighty; that ye might fear the
Loed your God 7 for ever.
1 , CHAPTER V.
-oLND it came to pass when aU the kings
of the Amorites, which tvere on the side
of Jordan westward, and all the kings
of the Canaanites, which/ tvere by the sea,
beards' that the Loed had dried up the
waters of Jordan fvpm before the chil-
dren of Israel, until we were passed
over, that* their heart melted, neither
was there spirit' in them any more, be-
cause of the childi'en of Israel.
2 At that time the Loed said unto
Joshua, Make thee sharp ^knives, and
circumcise again the children of Israel
the second time.
3 And Joshua made him sharp knives,
and circumcised the chjidren of Israel
at ^the hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the causo why Joshua did
circuincise: All"» the people that came
out of Egypt, that tcere males, even all
the men of war, died in the wilderness by
the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Now aU the people that came out
were cii'cumcised : but all the people that
tcere born in the wilderness by the way
as they came forth out of Egypt, them
they had not circumcised.
6 For the children of Israel walked" forty
years in the wilderness, till all the people
that tvere men of war, which came out
of EgjT)t, were consumed, because they
obeyed not the voice of the Loed : unto
whom^ the Loed sware that he would not
shew them the land which the Loed sware
unto their fathers that he would give us,
a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 And their children/ ivhom he raised up
in their stead, them Joshua circumcised:
for they were uncircumcised, because they
had not circumcised them by the way.
8 And it came to pass, when ^tbey had
done circumcising all the people, that
they abode in their places in the camp
till they were whole.
9 And the Loed said unto Joshua, This
day have I roUed away the reproach" of
EgyiDf from off you. A-VTierefore the name
of the place is called « Gilgal unto this da}^
10 And"' the children of Israel en-
camped in Gilgal, and kept the passover
on the fourteenth* day of the month, at
even, in the plains of Jericho.
11 And they did eat of the old corn
of the land on the morrow after the pass-
over, unleavened cakes and parched corn
in the selfsame day.
12 And the manna* ceased on the mor-
row after they had eaten of the old corn
of the land; neither had the children of
Israel manna any more ; * but they did eat
of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua
was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes
and looked, and, behold, there stood a
man'* over against him with his* sword
drawn in his hand : and Joshua went
unto him, and said imto him, Art thou
for us, or for our adversaries ?
Siege of Jericho.
JOSHUA, VII.
Jericho destroyed.
14 And he said, Nay ; but as P captain
of the host of the Lord am I now come.
And Joshua fell* on his face to the earth,
and did worship, and said unto him,
What*^ saith my lord unto his servant ?
15 And the captain of the Lord's host
said unto Joshua, I^oosC^ thy shoe from
off thy foot ; for the place whereon thou
standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
^-^ CHAPTER VL
JN OW Jericho ^ was straitly shut up,
because of the children of Israel : none
went out, and none came in.
2 And the Lord_ said unto Joshua,
See, I* have given into thine hand Je-
richo, and the king' thereof, atid the
mighty men of valour.
3 And ye shall compass the cit}'', aU
?/e men of war, and go round about the
city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4 And seven priests shall bear before
the ark seven trumpets'" of rams' horns :
and the seventh day ye shall compass
the city seven times, and the** priests
shall blow with the trumpets.
5 And it shall come to pass, that^ when
they make a long blast with the ram's
horn, and when ye hear the sound of the
trumpet, aU the people shall shout' with a
great shout : and the wall of the city shall
fall down ^flat, and the people shall
ascend up, every man straight before him.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called
the priests, and said unto them,* Take
up the ark of the covenant, and let seven
Eriests bear seven trumpets of rams'
orns before the ark of the Lord.
7 And he said unto the people. Pass on,
and compass" the city, and let him that is
armed pass on before the ark of the Lord.
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had
spoken unto the people, that the seven
priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams'
horns passed on before the Lord, and
blew with the trumpets ; and the ark of the
covenant of the Lord followed them.
9 And the armed men went before the
Jriests that blew with the trumpets, and the
rereward" came after the ark, the priests
going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
10 And Joshua had commanded the
people, saying. Ye shall not shout, nor
make H-anj noise with your voice, nei-
ther shall any word proceed out of your
mouth, uutn the day I bid you shout ;
then shall ye shout.
_ ] 1 So the ark of the Lord compassed the
city, going about it once : and they came
into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morn-
ing, and the priests took up"^ the ark of
the Lord.
13 And seven priests, bearing seven
trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of
the Lord, went on continuallj% and blew
with the trumpets : and the armed men
went before them ; but the rereward came
after the ark of the Lord, the priests going
on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14 And the second day they compassed
the city once, and returned into the
camp : so they did six days.
15 And it came to pass on the/ seventh
day, that they rose early about the dawn-
ing of the day, and compassed the city after
the same manner seven times : only on that
day they compassed the city seven times.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh
time, when the priests blew with the trum-

pets, Joshua said unto the people," Shout;
for the Lord hath given you the city.
17 And the city shall be V accursed, even
it, and all that are therein, to the Lord;
only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and
ail that are with her in the house, because
she hid« the messengers that we sent.
18 And ye, in any wise keep/ yourselves
from the accursed thing, lest ye make
yourselves accursed, when ye take of the
accursed thing, and make the camp of
Israel a cui'se, and trouble i' it.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and ves-
sels of brass and iron, are ^consecrated
unto the Lord; they shall come into the
treasury^ of the Lord.
20 So the people shouted when the
priests blew with the trumpets : and it
came to pass, when the people hoard the
sound of the trumpet, and the people
shouted with a great shout, that the' Avail
feU down ^flat, so that the people went
up into the city, every man straight be-
fore him, and they took the city.
21 And they utterly" destroyed all that
tvas in the city, both man and woman,
young and old, and ox, and sheep, and
ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 But Joshua had said unto the t-\vo
men that had spied out the country. Go
into the harlots house, and bring out
thence the woman, and all that she hath,
as ye sware •■ unto her.
23 And the young men that were spies
Avent in, and brought out Rahab, and * her
father, and her mother, and her brethren,
and aU that she had; and they brought
out all her "kindred, and left them with-
out the camp of Israel.
24 And they burnt* the city with fire,
and all that loas thereui: only the '"silver,
and the gold, and the vessels of brass and
of iron, they put into the treasury of the
house of the Lord.
25 And Joshua saved Rahab* the harlot
alive, and her father's household, and all
that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel ^
even unto this day j because^ she hid the
messengers which Joshua sent to spy out
Jericho.
26 And Joshua adjured them at that time,
saying. Cursed* he the man before the
Lord, that riseth up and bmldeth this
city J ericho : he shall lay the foundation
thereof in his firstborn, and in his young-
est son shall he set up the gates of it.
27 So the Lord was with'' Joshua ; and
his fame was noised throughout aU the
country.
-p CHAPTER VII.
Jl5UT the children of Israel committed
a trespass * in the accursed thing : for
Achan," the son of Carmi, the son of
Zabdi,'^ the son of Zerah, of the tribe of
Judah, took of the accursed thing : and
the anger of the Lord was kindled
against the cliildren of Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to
Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the
east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them,
saying, Go up and view the country.
And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said
unto him, Let not aU the people go up ; but
let P about two or three thousand men go
up and smite Ai ; and make not all the peo-
ple to labour thither ; for they are hut few.
4 So there went up thither of the people
about three thousand men : and thevs' lied

The siege of Ai.
before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them
about thirty and six men: for they
chased" them from before the gate eve^i
unto Shebarim, and smote them ^in the
going down : wherefore the hearts of the
people melted,*' and became as water. '^
6 And Joshua rent « his clothes, and fell
to the earth upon his face before the ark
of the LoED until the eventide, he and
the elders of Israel, and put dust' upon
their heads.
7 And Joshua said, Alas ! O Lord God,
wherefore^" hast thou at all brought this
people over Jordan, to deliver us into
the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us ?
Would to Grod we had been content, and
dwelt on the other side Jordan !
8 O Lord, what/ shall I say, when
Israel turneth their f backs before their
enemies !
9 For"' the Canaanites, and all the inha-
bitants of the land, shall hear of it, and
shall environ us round, and cut off" our
name from the earth : and what wilt thou
do unto thy great name ? "
10 And the Loed said imto Joshua,
Get thee up ; wherefore >? liest thou thus
upon thy face ?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have
also transgressed my covenant which I
commanded* them: for they have even
taken" of the accursed thing, and have
also stolen, and dissembled*' also, and they
have put it even among their own stuff.
12 Therefore* the children of Israel
could not stand before their enemies, hut
turned their backs before their enemies,
because they were accursed: 2' neither
win I be with you any more, except ye
destroy the accursed from among you.
13 lip, sanctify the people, and say,
Sanctify* yourselves against to morrow:
for thus saith the Loed God of Israel,
There is an accursed thing in the midst
of thee, O Isi-ael: thou canst not stand
before thine enemies, until ye take away
the accursed thing from among you.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be
brought according '^ to your tribes : and it
shaU be, that the tribe which the'^ Loed
taketh shall come according to the fami-
Hes thereof ; and the family which the
Loed shall take shall come by house-
holds ; and the household which the Lord
shall take shall come man by man.
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken
with the accursed thing shall be burnt
with fii'e, he and all that he hath : because
he hath transgressed the covenant of
the Loed, and because he hath wrought
folly ^ ins' Israel.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the
morning, and brought Israel by their
tribes ; and the tribe of Judah was taken :
17 And he brought the family of Judah ;
and he took the family of the Zarhites :
and he brought the family of the Zarhites
man by man ; and Zabdi was taken :
18 And he brought his household man
by man ; and Achan, the sou of Carmi,
the S9n of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of
the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My
son, give, I pray thee, glory » to the Loed
God of Israel, and make confession* unto
him; and tell me now what thou hast
done ; hide it not from me.

6 All the inhabitants of the hUl country,
from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim,'«w(^
all the Sidonians, them wiU I drive" out from
before the children of Israel : only^ divide
thou it by lot unto the IsraeHtes for an
inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
7 Now therefore divide this land for
an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and
the half tribe of Manasseh,
8 With whom the Reubenites and the
Gadites have received their inheritance,
which Hoses'" gave them, beyond Jordan
eastward, even as Moses the servant of
the LOED gave them ;

expelled not* the Geshurites, nor the

14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave

8 The border went out ^from Tappuah
westward unto the river" Ivanah; and the
goings out thereof were at_ the sea. This
is the inheritance of the tribe of the chil-
di'en of Ephi'aim by their families.
9 And the separate cities for the chil-
dren of Ephraim toere among the inherit-
ance of the cliildren of Manasseh, all
the cities with their villages.
10 And/ they drave not out the Ca-
naanites that dwelt in Gezer : but the pa-
naanites dwell among the Ephraimites
unto this day, and serve under tribute.
rn CHAPTER XVII.
IHERE was also a lot for the tribe of
Manasseh, for he ^vas the firstborn* of
Joseph; to wit^ for Machir"* the first-
born 01 Manasseh, the father of Gilead ;
because he was a man of war, therefore
he had Gilead" and Bashau.
2 There was also a lot for the rest? of the
children of Manasseh by their families ;
for the children of yAbiezer, and for the
children of Helek, and for the children of
Asriel, and for the cliildren of Shechem,
and for the children of Hepher, and for
the children of Shemida : these ^vere the
male children of Manasseh the son of
Joseph by their famihes.
3 But Zelophehad the son of Hepher,
the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the
son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daugh-
ters : and tliese are the names of his
daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah,
Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 And they came near before «" Eleazar
the priest, and before Joshua the son of
Nun, and before the princes, saying, The
LoED commanded Moses* to give us an
inheritance among our brethren. There-
fore, according to the commandment of
the LoED, he gave them an inheritance
among the brethren of then' father.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manas-
seh, beside the land of Gilead and Baslian,
which toere on the other side Jordan ;
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had
an inheritance among his sons : and the rest
of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 And the coast of Manasseh was from
Asher to Michmethah,* that lieth before
Shechem; and the border went along on
the right hand, unto the inhabitants of
En-tappuah.
8 i^Tozu Manasseh had the land of Tappuah :
but Tappuah, on the border of Manasseh,
belonged to the children of Ephraim.
9 And the coast descended unto the
'J river Kanah, southward of the river:
these cities'' of Ephraim are among the
cities of Manasseh : the coast of Manasseh
also toas on the north side of the river,
and the outgoings of it were at the sea :
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and
northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is
his border; and they met together in Asher
on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 And* Manasseh had in Issachar and
in Asher, Beth-shean' and her towns, and
Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants
of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants
of En-dor* and her towns, and the inhabit-
ants"* of Taanach and her towns, and the
inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even
three countries.
12 Yet" the children of Manasseh could
not drive out the inhabitants of those
cities ; but the Canaanites would dwell
in that land.

13 Yet it came to pass, when tlie chil-
dren of Israel were waxen strong, that
they put the Canaanites to tribute ;« but
did not utterly drive them out.
14 And the childi-en of Joseph spake
unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given
me hut one lot and one portion to inherit,
seeing I am a great people, forasmuch
as the LoKD hath blessed* me hitherto ?
15 And Joshua answered them, If thou
he a great people, then get thee up to
the wood country, and cut down for thy-
self there in the land of the Perizzites
and of the ^ giants, if mount Ephraim be
too narrow for thee.
16 And the children of Joseph said. The
hni is not enough for us : and all the
Canaanites that dwell in the land of the
valley have chariots of iron,* both they
who are of Beth-shean/ and her to%vns,
and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.i'
17 And Joshua spake unto the house
of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Ma-
nasseh, saying, Thou art a great people,
and hast great power ; thou shalt not
have one lot only ;
18 But the mountain shall be thine;
for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it
down: and the outgoings of it shall be
thine: for* thou shalt drive out the Ca-
naanites, though they have iron chariots,
and though they he strong.
. CHAPTER XYIII.
And the whole congregation of the
children of Israel assembled together
at Shiloh," and set up the tabernacle" of
the congregation there. And the land
was subdued before them.
2 And there remained among the chil-
dren of Israel seven tribes, which had
not yet received their inheritance.
3 And Joshua said unto the children of
Israel, How long are ye slacks to go to
possess the land which the Loed God of
your fathers hath given you ?
4 Grive out from among you three men
for each tribe : and I will send them, and
they shall rise and go*" through the land, and
describe it according to the inheritance of
them ; and they shall come again to me.
5 And they shall divide it int9 seven
parts : Judah* shall abide in their coast
on the south, and the house of* Joseph
shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6 Ye shall therefore describe the^ la.nd
into seven parts, and bring the description
hither to me, that I may cast" lots for
you here before the Loed our Grod.
7 But the Levites «* have no part among
you; for the priesthood of the Loed is
their inheritance : andy Gad, and Eeubeu,
and half the tribe of Manasseh, have
received their inheritance beyond Jor-
dan on the east, which Moses the servant
of the Loed gave them.
8 And the men arose, and went away:
and Joshua charged them that went to
describe the land, saying. Go and walk
through « the land, and describe it, and
come again to me, that I may here cast
lots for you before the Loed in Shiloh.
9 And the men went, and passed through
the land, and described it by cities, into
seven/ parts, in a book, and came agaiii
to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10 And Joshua cast lots*' for them in
Shiloh before the Loed : and there Joshua
divided the land unto the children of Is-
rael according to their divisions.

11 And the lot of the tribe of the chil-
dren of Benjamin came up according to
their families : and the coast of their lot
came forth between the chLldi-en of Judah
and the children of Joseph.
12 And their border, on the north side,
was from Jordan: and the border went
up to the side of Jericho on the north
side, and went up through the mountains
westward; and the goings out thereof
were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 And the border went over fr'om
thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz,
which* is Beth-el, southward; and the
border descended to Ataroth-adar, near
the hill that lieth on the south side of the
nether Beth-horon.'*
14 And the border was di'awn thence,
and compassed the corner of the sea south-
ward, from the hill that lieth before Beth-
horon southward ; and the goings out
thereof were at Kii'jath-baal which is
Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of
Judah : this zvas the west quarter.
15 And the south quarter toas from the
end of Kirjath-jearim;* and the border
went out on the west, and went out to
the well of waters » of N ephtoah :
16 And the border came down to the
end of the mountain that lieth before the
vaUey of the son of Hinnom,' and which
is in the valley of the giants on the north,
and descended to the vaUey of Hinnom,
to the side of Jebusi on the south, and
descended to En-rogel,"'
17 And was drawn from the north, and
went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth
toward GeHloth, which is over against the
going up of Adummim, and descended
to the stoneP of Bohan the son of Eeuben,
18 And passed along toward the side
over against vArabah northward, and
went down unto Arabah :
19 And the border passed along to the
side of Beth-hoglah northward : and the
outgoings of the border were at the
north ^ bay of the salt sea, at the south
end of Jordan : this tvas the south coast.
20 And Jordan was the border of it
on the east side. This was the inherit-
ance of the children of Benjamin, by
the coasts thereof round about, accord-
ing to their famihes.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin, according to their
families, were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah,
and the vaUey of Keziz,
22 And Beth-arabah, and* Zemaraim,
and Beth-el,*
23 And Avim, and Parah, and* Ophrah,
24 And Chephar-haammouai, and Ophui,

26 And MizpehjC and Chephirah, and
Mozah,
27 Aiid Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and** Jebusi
which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kir-
jath; fourteen cities with their villages.
This is the inheritance of the children of
Benjamin, according to their families.

Simeon, even for the tribe of the cliil-
dren of Simeon according to their fami-

9 Out of the portion of the children of
Judah tvas the inheritance of the children

the children of Simeon had their inherit-
ance witliin the inheritance of them.
10 And the third lot came up for the
children of Zebulun, according to their
families: and the border of their inherit-
ance was unto Sarid :
11 And their border went up toward

Shimron,^ and Idalah, and Beth-lehem:^
twelve cities with their villages.
16 This is the inheritance of the child-
ren of Zebulun according to their fami-

17 And the fourth lot came out to Issa-

of are at the sea, from the coast to Achzib :*
30 Ummah also, and Aphek,'' and Rehob :
twenty and two cities with their villages.
31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Asher/ according to their
families, these cities with their villages.
32 The sixth lot came out to the child-
ren of Naphtali, even for the children of
Naphtali according to their families.
33 And their coast was from Heleph,
from AUon to Zaanannim, and Adami,
Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and
the outgoings thereof were at Jordan :
34 And then the coast turneth westward
to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from
thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebu-
lun on the south side, and reacheth to
Asher on the west'' side, and to Judah
upon Jordan toward the sunrising.
35 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer,
and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,*
36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
37 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor,
38 And Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem,
and Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh; ^ nine-
teen cities with their villages.
39 This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Naphtali according to
their families, the cities and their villages.
40 And the seventh lot came out for the
tribe of the children of Dan according to
their famiUes.
41 And the coast of their inlieritance
was Zorah,* and Eshtaol,*and Ir-shemesh,
42 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon," and
Jethlah,
43 AndElonjandThimnathahjandEkron,"
44 And Eltekeh, and Gribbethon,"' and
Baalath,
45 And Jehud, and Bene-berak, and
Grath-rimmon,
46 And Me-jarkoUi and Rakkou, with
the border y before ^ Japho. •
47 And** the coast of the children of Dan
went out too little for them; therefore the
children of Dan went up to fight against
Leshem, and took it, -and smote it with
the edge of the sword, and possessed it,
and dwelt therein, and called Leshem,
Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Dan according to their
famihes, these cities with their villages.
49 When they had made an end of divid-
ing the land for inheritance by their coasts,
the children of Israel gave an inheritance
to Joshua the son of Nun among them :
50 According to the word of the Loed
they gave him the city which he asked,
even Timnath-serahs' iu mount Ephraim:
and he built the city, and dwelt therein.
51 These are the inheritances which
Eleazar* the priest, and Joshua the son of
Nim, and the heads of the fathers of the
tribes of the children of Israel, divided
for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh* before
the Loed, at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation. So they made an
end of dividing the coimtry.

saying,

4 And when he that doth flee unto one

his cause in the ears of the elders of that
city, they shall take him into the city
unto them, and give him a place, that he
may dwell'' among them.
5 And if the avenger « of blood pursue
after him, then they shall not deliver the
slayer up into his hand ; because he smote
his neighbour _ unwittingly, and hated
him not beforetime.
6 And he shall dwell in that citj% until
lie stand before the congregation for
judgment, and until the death of the high
priest that shall be in those days: then
shall the slayer return, and come unto
his own city, and unto his o^vn house,
unto the city from whence he fled.
7 And they ^ appointed Kedesh^ in Ga-
lilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem^ in
mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba" which
is Hebron in the mountain <> of Judah.
8 And on the other side Jordan by Je-
richo eastward, they assigned Bezer^ in
the wilderness upon the plain out of the
tribe of Reuben, and Kamoth'' in Grilead
out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan* in
Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 These were the cities appointed" for
all the children of Israel, and for the
stranger that sojourneth among them,
that whosoever killeth any person at un-
awares might flee thither, and not die by
the hand of the avenger of blood, until
he"* stood before the congregation.

priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun,
and unto the heads of the fathers of the
tribes of the children of Israel ;

urbs thereof for our cattle.

the children of Simeon, these cities which
are here ^ mentioned by name,
10 Which the children of Aaron, leing
of the families of the Kohathites, who
were of the children of Levi, had: for
their's was the first lot.
11 And they* gave them Vthe city of
Arba the father* of Anak, which cit» is
Hebron, in the hill/ country of Judah,
with the suburbs thereof round about it.
12 But the fields of the city, and the
villages thereof, gave they to Calebs' the
son of Jephunneh for his possession.
13 Thus* they gave to the children of
Aaron the priest, Hebron with her sub-
urbs, to he a city of refuge for the slayer ;
and Libnah with her suburbs,
14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and
Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
15 And Holon* with her suburbs, and
Debir with her suburbs,
16 And Ain"* with her suburbs, and
Juttah with her suburbs, and Beth-she-
mesh with her suburbs ; nine cities out
of those two tribes.
17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin,
Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba' with
her suburbs,
18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and
Almon* with her suburbs ; four cities.
19 AH the cities of the _ children of
Aaron, the priests, toere thirteen cities
with their suburbs.
20 And the families of the children of Ko-
hath,* the Levites which remained of the
children of Kohath, even they had the cities
of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
21 For they gave them Shechem with
her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer
with her suburbs,
22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and
Beth-horon with her suburbs ; four cities.
23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh
vrith her suburbs, Gibbethon with her
suburbs,
24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gath-rim-
mon with her suburbs ; four cities.
25 And out of the half tribe of Manas-
seh, Tanach with her subm'bs, and Gath-
rimmon with her suburbs ; two cities.
26 AU the cities were ten, with their
suburbs, for the families of the children
of Kohath that remained.
27 And unto the children of Gershon,*
of the families of the Levites, out of the
other half tribe of Manasseh, they gave
Golan'' in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer ; ^ and Beesh-
terah with her suburbs ; two cities.
28 And out of the tribe of Issachar,
Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with
her suburbs,
29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, En-gan-
nim with her suburbs ; four cities.
30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal
with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,
31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Re-
hob with her suburbs ; four cities.
32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali,
Kedesh^ in Galilee with her suburbs, to be
a city of refuge for the slayer ; and Ham-
moth-dor with her suburbs, and Kartan
with her suburbs ; three cities.
33 AU the cities of the Gershqnites,
according to their families, tcere thirteen
cities with their suburbs.
34 And unto the families of the children
of Merari,' the rest of the Levites, out of
The two tribes and half dismissed. JOSHUA, XXII.
The altar of the Ueuhenites.
the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her
Bubiu'bs, and Kartah with her suburbs,
35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal
with her suburbs ; four cities.
36 And out of the tribe of Reuben,
Bezer* with her suburbs, and Jahazah
with her suburbs,
37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and
Mephaath with her suburbs ; four cities.
38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth
in Grilead with her suburbs, to be a city
of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim
with her suburbs,
39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer
with her suburbs ; four cities in all.
40 So all the cities for the children of
Merari, by their families, which were
remaining of the families of the Levites,
were, by their lot, twelve cities.
41 All the cities of the Levites within the
possession of the children of Israel were
forty and eight* cities with their suburbs.
42 These cities were every one with
their suburbs round about them: thus
were all these cities.
43 And the Loed gave unto Israel all
the land which he sware/ to give unto
their fathers; and they possessed it, and
dwelt therein.
44 And^ the Lord gave them rest round
about, according to aU that he sware unto
their fathers : and' there stood not a man of
all their enemies before them ; the Loed de-
livered all their enemies into their hand.
45 There' failed not ought of any good
thing which the Loed had spoken unto
the house of Israel ; all came to pass.
m CHAPTER XXII.
XHEN Joshua called the Reubenites, and
the Gradites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
2 And said unto them. Ye have kept
all that Moses"* the servant of the Loed
commanded you, and have obeyed my
voice in all that I" commanded you :
3 Ye have not left your brethren these
many days unto tliis day, but have kept
the charge of the commandment of the
Loed your Grod.
4 And now the Loed your God hath
given rest unto your brethren, as he
promised them: therefore now return
ye, and get you unto your tents, and
unto the land of your possession, which
Moses the servant of the Loed gave
you* on the other side Jordan.
5 But take^ dihgent heed to do the com-
mandment and the law, which Moses the
servant of the Loed charged you, to" love
the Loed your God, and to walk in all liis
ways, and to keep his commandments, and
to cleave"' unto him, and to serve* him with
all your heart and with all your soul.
6 So Joshua blessed^ them, and sent them
away : and they went unto their tents.
7 Now, to the one half of the tribe of
Manasseh, Moses had given possession in
Bashan ; but" unto the other half thereof
gave Joshua among their brethren on
this side Jordan westward. And when
Joshua sent them away also unto their
tents, then he blessed them ;
8 And he spake unto them, saying. Re-
turn with much riches/ unto your tents,
and with very much cattle, with silver, and
with gold, and with brass, and with iron,
and with very much raiment ; divides' the
spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

our sight, and preserved us in all the
way wherein we went, and among all
the people through whom we passed :
18 And the Lord drave out from be-
fore us aU the people, even the Amorites
which dwelt in the land: therefore^ will
we also serve the Lord ; for he is our
God.
19 And Joshua said unto the people. Ye
cannot i? serve the Lord: for* he is an
holy God; he is a jealous' God; he* will
not forgive your transgressions nor your
sins.
20 If »» ye forsake the Lord, and serve
strange gods, then he will turn and do
you hurt, and consume you, after" that
he hath done you good.
21 And the people said unto Joshua,
Nay ; but we will serve the Lord.
22 And Joshua said unto the people,
Ye" are witnesses against yourselves that
ye have chosen' you the Lord, to serve
him. And they said. We are witnesses.
23 Now therefore puf away, said Jie^
the strange gods which are among you,
and incline your heart* unto the Lord
God of Israel.
24 And the people said" unto Joshua,
The Lord our God wiU we serve, and
his voice will we obey.
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the
people that day, and set them a statute
and an ordinance in Sliechem.
26 And Joshua wrote these words in the
book of the law of God, and took a great
stone, and set it up there ^ imder an oak,
that ioas by the sanctuary of the Lord.
27 And Joshua said unto all the people,
Behold, this ^ stone shaU be a witness
unto us ; for it hath heard '^ aU the words
of the Lord which he spake unto us: it
shall'' be therefore a witness unto you,
lest ye deny your God.
28 So Joshua ^ let the people depart,
every man unto his inheritance.
29 And it came to pass after these
things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the
servant of the Lord, died, being an hun-
dred and ten years old.
30 And they buried him in the border
of his inheritance* in_ Timnath-serah,
wliich is in mount Ephraim, on the north
side of the hiU of Gaash.
31 And Israel' served the Lord all the
days of Joshua, and all the days of the
elders that ^overHved Joshua^ and which
had known" all the works of the Lord,
that he had done for Israel.
32 AndP the bones of Joseph, which
the children of Israel brought up out of
Egypt, buried they_ in Shechem, in a
parcel of ground which Jacob bought '' of
the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem,
for an hundred y pieces of silver: and it
became the inheritance of the children
of Joseph.
33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died ;
and they buried him in a hill that per-
tained to Phinehas his son, which was
given him in mount Ephraim.

The Book of JUDGE S.
^^ CHAPTER I.
JNOW, after the death <• of Joshua it
came to pass, that the chikh-en of Israel''
asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up
for us against the Canaanites first, to
fight against them ?
2 And the Lord said, Judah/ shall go
up : behold, I have delivered the land
into his hand.
o And Judah said unto Simeon his bro-
ther, Come up with me into my lot, that
we may_ fight against the Canaanites ; and
I likewise will go with thee* into thy lot.
So Simeon went with him.
4 And Judah went up ; and the Lord
delivered the Canaanites and the Periz-
zites into their hand: and they slew of
them in Bezek'' ten thousand men.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Be-
zek ; and they fought against him, and they
slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pur-
sued after him, and caught him, and cut
off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 And Adoni-bezek said. Threescore
and ten kings, having V their thumbs and
their great toes cut off, ^ gathered their
meat imder my table: as"" I have done, so
God hath requited me. And they brought
him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Now the children of Judah had*
fought against Jerusalem, and had taken
it, and smitten it with the edge of the
sword, and set the city on fire.
9 And afterward" the children of Ju-
dah went down to fight against the Ca-
naanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and
in the south, and in the f valley.
10 And Judah went against the Ca-
naanites that dwelt in^ Hebron, (now the
name of Hebron before xoas Kirjath-arba,)
and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and
Talmai.
11 And from thence he went against
the inhabitants of Debir ; and the name
of Debir before loas Kirjath-sepher :
12 And* Caleb said, He^ that smiteth
Kiijath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will
I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Ca-
leb's younger brother, took it: and he
gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14 And it came to pass, when she came
to 7iim, that she moved him to ask of her
father a field: and she lighted from off
her ass; and Caleb said unto her. What
wilt thou ?
15 And she said unto him, Grive me a
blessing :<* for thou hast given me a south
land ; give me also springs of water. And
Caleb gave her the upper springs and
the nether springs.
16 And the children of the« Kenite,
Moses' father in law, went up out of ihe^
city of palm trees with the children of
Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which
lieth in the south of* Arad; and* they
went and dwelt among the people.

judges'! wliich ^delivered* them out of
the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 And yet they would not hearken
unto their judges, but they went a whor-
ing'' after other gods, and bowed them-
selves unto them: they turned quickly
out of the way wliich their fathers walked
in, obeying the commandments of the
Lord ; but they did not so.
18 And when the Lord raised them up
judges, then/ the Lord was with the judge,
and delivered them out of the hand of
their enemies all the days of the judge:
for _ it repented^ the Lord because of
their groanings by reason of them that
oppressed them and vexed them.
19 And it came to pass, when' the judge
was dead, that they returned, and *? cor-
rupted _ themselves more than their fa-
thers, in following other gods to serve
them, and to bow down unto them : they
^ceased not from then* own doings, nor
from their stubborn way.
20 And the anger of the Lord was hot
against Israel ; and he said. Because" that
this people hath transgressed my cove-
nant which I commanded their fathers,
and have not hearkened unto my voice,
21 I also will not henceforth drive out
any from before them of the nations
which Joshua left when he died ;
22 That through them I may prove « Is-
rael, whether they will keep the way of
the Lord, to walk therein, as their fa-
thers did keep it, or not.
23 Therefore the Lord '^left those na-
tions, without driving them out hastily;
neither delivered he them into the hand
of Joshua.
nyy CHAPTER III.
JM OW these are the nations which the
Lord left, to prove Israel by them;
even as many of Israel as had not known
all the wars of Canaan ;
2 Only that the generations of the
children of Israel might know to teach
them war, at the least such as before
knew nothing thereof:
3 Namely., five*" lords of the Philistines,
and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians,
and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Le-
banon, from mount Baal-hermon unto
the entering in of Hamath.
4 Ajid they were to prove Israel by
them, to know whether they would
hearken unto the commandments of the
Lord, which he commanded their fa-
thers by the hand of Moses.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt
among the Canaanites, Hittitea, and
Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites,
and Jebusites :
6 And they took* their daughters to be
their wives, and gave their daughters to
their sons, and served their gods.
7 And the children of Israel did evil
in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the
Lord their God, and served Baalim and
the groves.
8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was
hot against Israel, and he sold them into
the hand of<* Chushan-rishathaim king
of "Mesopotamia: and the children of
Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight
years.
9 And when the children of Israel/ cried
unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a
'T deliverer to the children of Israel, who
delivered them, even Othniels' the son of
JEglon slain hy lETiucl.
JUDGES, IV.
IsTi
Kenaz, Caleb's younger brotlier.
10 And the Spirit" of the Lord ^ came
upon him, and he judged Israel, and went
out to war: and the Lord delivered
Chushan-rishathaim king of 5 Mesopo-
tamia into his hand; and his hand pre-
vailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
11 And the land had rest forty years :
and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 And the children of Israel did evil
again in the sight of the Lord : and the
Lord strengthened Eglon the king of
Moab against Israel, because they had
done evil in the sight of the Lord.
13 And he gathered unto him the chil-
dren of Ammon and Amalek, and went
and smote Israel, and possessed the/ city
of palm trees.
14 So the children of Israel served''
Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 But when the children of Israel cried
unto the Lord, the Lord raised them
up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Grera, fa
Benjamite, a man i? lefthanded : and by
him the children of Israel sent a present
unto Eglon the king of Moab.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which
had two edges, of a cubit length ; and he
did gird it under his raiment upon his
right thigh.
17 And he brought the present unto
Eglon king of Moab : and Eglon tvas a
very faf* man.
18 And when he had made an end to
offer the present, he sent away the people
that bare the present.
19 But he himself turned again from the
quarries ^ that" loere by Grilgal, and said, I
have a secret errand unto thee, O king:
who said. Keep silence. And all that
stood by him went out from him.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he
was sitting in «a summer parlour, which
he had for himself alone : and Ehud said,
I have a message from God unto thee.
And he arose out of Jiis seat.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand,
and took the dagger from his right thigh,
and thrust it into his belly.
22 And the haft also went in after the
blade ; and the fat closed upon the blade,
so that he could not draw the dagger out
of his belly ; and -^the dirt came out.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the
porch, and shut the doors of the parlour
upon him, and locked them.
24 When he was gone out, his servants
came; and when they saAV that, behold,
the doors of the parlour toere locked, they
said. Surely he Mcovereth his feet in his
summer chamber.
25 And they tarried till they were
ashamed; and, behold, he opened not
the doors of the parlour; therefore they
took a kej% and opened them: and, be-
hold, their lord tvas fallen down dead on
tlie earth.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tar-
ried, and passed beyond the quarries,"'
and escaped unto Seii'ath.
27 And it came to pass, when he was
come, that he blew* a trumpet in the
mountainy of Ephraim, and the children
of Israel went down with him from the
mount, and he before them.
28 And he said imto them, Follow after
me; for the Lord liath^ delivered" your
enemies the Moabites into your hand.
And they went down after him, and took

fourscore years.

son of Anath, which slew of the Philis-
tines six hundred men with<^ an ox goad :

. CHAPTER IV.
_A.ND the children of Israel again ^ did
evil in the sight of the Lord, when
Ehud was dead.
2 And the Lord soldi' them iuto the
hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reign-
ed in Hazor;' the captain of whose host
loas Sisera, which d^velt in Harosheth'-"
of the Gentdes.
3 And the children of Israel cried unto
the Lord ; for he had nine hundred cha-
riots' of iron ; and twenty years he might-
ily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 And Deborah a prophetess, the wife of
Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of
Deborah,"* between Ramah and Beth-el
in mount Ephraim; and the children of
Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 And she sent and called Barak, the son
of Abinoam, out of Kedesh-naphtah, and
said unto him. Hath not the Lord God of
Israel commanded, saying. Go, and draw
toward mount Tabor, and take with thee
ten thousand men of the children of Naph-
tali and of the children of Zebulun ?
7 And iP will draw unto thee, to the river
Kishon,9 Sisera, the captain of Jabin's
army, with his chariots and liis multi-
tude; and I will deliver him into thine
hand.
8 And Barak said unto her. If thou wilt
go with me, then I will go ; but if thou
wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 And she said, I will surely go with
thee: notwithstanding the journey that
thou takest shall not be for thine honour ;
for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the
hand of a woman. •■ And Deborah arose,
and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 And* Barak called Zebulun and
jSTaplitaH to Kedesh ; and he went up with
ten thousand men at his feet : and Debo-
rah went up with him.
11 Now Heber the Kenite,* toJiich was of
the children of Hobab,'* the father in law
of Moses, had severed himself from the
Kenites, and pitched his tent unto tlie
plain of Zaanaim," which is by Kedesh.
12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak
the son of Abinoam was gone up to
mount Tabor.
13 And Sisera '^ gathered together _ all
his chariots, even nine hundred chai-iots
of iron, and all the people that were with
him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles
unto the river of Kishon.
14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up;
for this is the day in which the Lord
hath delivered Sisera into thine hand : ^ is
not the Lord gone out before thee? So
Barak went down from mount Tabor,
and ten thousand men after him.
15 And the Lord* discomfited Sisera,
and aU his chariots, and all his host, with
the edge of the sword, before Barak -," so

that Sisera lighted down off 7iis chariot,
and fled away on his feet.
16 But Barak pursued after the cha-
riots, and after the host, unto Harosheth
of the Gentiles: and all the host of Si-
sera fell upon the edge of the sword;
and'^ there was not 7 a man left.
17 Howbeit, Sisera fled away on his
feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber
the Kenite : for there ^oas peace between
Jabin the king of Hazor and the house
of Heber the Kenite,
18 And^ Jael went out to meet Sisera,
and said unto liim, Turn in, my lord,
turn in to me ; fear not : and when he
had turned in unto her into the tent, she
covered him with a ^ mantle.
19 And he said unto her, Give me, I
pray thee, a little water to drink ; for I am
thirsty : and she opened a bottle of milk,*
and gave Mm drink, and covered him.
20 Again he said unto her. Stand in
the door of the tent, and it shall be,
when any man doth come and inquire of
thee, and say. Is there any man here?
that thou shalt say, No.
21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail
of the tent, and *« took an hammer in her
hand, and went softly unto him, and smote
the nail into his temples,* and fastened it
into the ground; for he was fast asleep,
and weary : so he died.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Si-
sera, Jael came out to meet him, and said
unto him. Come, and I will shew thee the
man whom thou seekest. And when he
came into her tetit, behold, Sisera lay
dead, and the nail tons in his temples.
23 So" God subdued on that day Jabin
the king of Canaan before the children
of Israel.
24 And tlie hand of the cliildren of Is-
rael p prospered, and prevailed against
Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had
destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
^ CHAPTER V.
JLHEN'" sang Deborah, and Barak the
son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
2 Praise ye the Lord for the* aveng-
ing of Israel, when the people willingly^
offered themselves.
3 Hear,"* O ye kings ; give ear, O ye
princes : I, even I, will sing unto the

13 Then he made him that remaineth

they that V' handle the pen of the writer,
15 And the priaces of Issachar ivere

Barak: he was sent on ffoot into the
vaUey. I For the divisions of Reuben
there were great ^ thoughts of heart.
16 Wliy abodest thou among the sheep-
folds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks ?
V For the divisions of Reuben there ivere
great searchings* of heart.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan : and
why did Dan remain in ships ? Asher
continued on the ^sea shore, and abode
in his /* breaches.
18 Zebulun and Naphtali ivere a people
that "jeoparded their lives unto' the
death in the high places of the field.
19 The kings came and fought ; then
fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach
by the waters of Megiddo: they™ took
no gain of money.
20 They fought from heaven ;«' the stars
in their ^ courses fought against Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon^ swept them
away, that ancient river, the river Ki-

by the means of the ^ pransings, the

23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of
the Loed ; curse j^e bitterly the inhabit-
ants thereof; because" they came not
to the*' help of the Loed, to the help of
the Loed against the mighty,

she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

. CHAPTER VL
■A'N'Dg the children of Israel did evil in
the sight of the Lord ; and the Lord
deHvered them into the hand of'' IMidian
seven years.
2 And the hand of JMidian ^ prevailed
against Israel: and because of the Midi-
anites the children of Israel made them
the dens' which are in the mountains,
and caves, and strong holds.
3 And so it was, when Israel had sown,
that the Midiauites came up, and the
Amalekites, and the children of the east,
even they came up against them ;
4 And they encamped against them,
and destroyed i' the increase of the earth,
till thou come unto Gaza; and left no
susteuance for Israel, neither ^ sheep, nor
ox, nor ass.
5 Eor they came up with their cattle,
and their tents, and they came as grass-
hoppers* for multitude ; for both they and
their camels were without number: and
they entered into the land to destroy it.
6 And Israel was greatly impoverished
because of the Midianites ; and the chil-
dren of Israel cried' unto the Lord.
7 And it came to pass, when the chil-
dren of Israel cried unto the Lord be-
cause of the Midianites,
8 That the Lord sent ^ a prophet unto the
children of Israel, which said unto them,
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I
brought you up from Egypt, and brought
you forth out of the house of bondage ;
9 And I deUvered you out of the hand of
the Egyptians, and out of the hand of aU
that oppressed you, and drave" them out
from before you, and gave you their laud :
10 And I said unto you, I am the Lord
your God; fear" not the gods of the Amor-
ites, in whose land ye dwell : but ye
have not obeyed my voice.
11 And there came an angel of the
Lord, and sat under an oak which xvas
in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the
Abi-ezrite : and his son Gideon^ threshed
wheat by the winepress, to /* hide it from
the Midianites.
12 And the angel? of the Lord appeared
unto him, and said unto liim. The Lord
is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
13 And Gideon said unto him. Oh my
Lord, if*; the Lord be with us, why then
is aU this befallen us? and where* he all
his miracles which our fathers told us of,
saying. Did not the Lord bring us up
fr'om Egypt? but now the Lord hath
forsaken us, and delivered us into the
hands of the Midianites.
14 And the Lord looked upon him,
and said. Go in this thy might,' and thou
shalt save Israel from the hand of the
Midianites : have not I sent thee ?
15 And he said unto him. Oh my Lord,
wherewith shall I save Israel? behold,
"my family is poor in Manasseh, and I
am the least* in my father's house.
16 And the Lord said unto him,"" Sure-
ly I will be with thee, and* thou shalt
Bmite the Midianites as one man.
17 And he said unto him. If now I have
foimd grace in thy sight, then shew* me
a sign that thou talkest with me.

I come unto thee, and bring forth my

dehvered it into thine hand.
10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou
with Phurah thy servant down to the
host :
11 And<* thou shalt hear* what they
say; and afterward shall thine hands be
strengthened to go down unto the host.
Then went he down with Phurah his
servant unto the outside of the farmed
men that were in the host.
12 And the Midianites, and the Ama-
lekites, and all the children of the east,
lay along in the valley like grasshoppers"
for multitude; and their camels were
without number, as the sand by the sea
side for multitude.
13 And when Gideon was come, behold,
there was a man that told a dream unto
his fellow, and said, Behold, I di-eamed
a dream, and, lo, a cakes' of barley bread
tumbled into the host of Midian, and came
unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and
overturned it, that the tent lay along.
14 And his feUow answered and said,
This is nothing else save the sword of
Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel :
for into his hand hath God delivered
Midian, and aU the host.
15 And it was 50, when Gideon heard
the teUing of the dream, and the 7 inter-
pretation thereof, that he worshipped,
and returned into the host of Israel, and
said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered
into your hand the host of Midian.
16 And he divided the three hundred
men into three companies, and he put ^ a
trumpet in every man's hand, with empty
pitchers, and Clamps within the pitchers.
17 And he said unto them. Look on me,
and do likewise : and, behold, when I
come to the outside of the camp, it shall
be, that as I do, so shall ye do.
18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and
aU that are with me, then blow ye the
trumpets also on every side of all the
camp, and say. The sivord of the Lord,
and of Gideon.
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men
that zoere with him, came unto the outside
of the camp, in the beginning of the middle
watch ; and they had but newly set" the
watch : and they blew the trumpets," and
brake the pitchers^ that were in their hands.
20 And the three companies blew the
trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and
held the lamps in their left hands, and
the trumpets in their right hands to blow
ivithal; and they cried, The sword of the
Lord and of Gideon.
21 And they stood? every man in his
place round about the camp: and*" all
the host ran, and cried, and fled.
22 And the three hundred blew* the
trumpets, and the Lord* set every man's
sword against his" feUow, even through-
out all the host: and the host fled to
Beth-shittah 'Jin Zererath, and to the
^ border of Abel-meholah, unto T'abbath.
23 And the men of Israel gathered
themselves together out of Naphtali, and
out of Asher, and out of aU. Manasseh,
and pursued after the Midianites.
24 And Gideon sent messengers through-
out all mount Ephraim,*" saying, Come
down against the Midianites, and take be-
fore them the waters unto Beth-barah and
Jordan. Then all the men of Ephi'aim
gathered themselves together, and took
the waters unto Beth-barah^ and Jordan.

AtsTT) the men<^ of Ephraim said unto
]iim,y Why hast thou served us thus, that
thou calledst us not, when thou wentest
to fight with the Midianites? and the}'
did chide with him ^ sharply.
2 And he said unto them, What have I
done now in comparison of you? Is not
the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim
better than the vintage of Abi-ezer ?
3 G-od hath delivered into your hands
the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb:
and what was I able to do in comparison
of you ? Then their 'J anger was abated
toward him,'' when he had said that.
4 And Grideon came to Jordan, and passed
over, he, aud the three hundred men that
ioere with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
5 And he said unto the men of^ Succoth,
Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the
people that follow me; for they he faint,
and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zal-
munna, kings of Midian.
6 And the princes of Succoth said,^ Are
the hands oi Zebah and Zalmunna now
in thine hand, that we should give bread
unto thine army ?
7 And Gideon said. Therefore, when
the LoED hath deUvered Zebah and Zal-
munna into mine hand, then' I will ^tear
your flesh with the thorns of the wilder-
ness and with briers.
8 And he went up thence to Penuel,^'
and spake unto them likewise : and the
men of Penuel answered him as the men
of Succoth had answered him.
9 And he spake also imto the men of
Penuel, saying. When I come'* again in
peace, I^ will break down this tower.
10 Now Zebah and Zabnunna ^oere in
Ivarkor, and their hosts mth them, about
fifteen thousand men, all that were left of
all the hosts of the children of the east :
for there fell ^an hundred and twenty
thousand men that drew sword,
11 And Gideon went up by the way of
them that dwelt in tents, on the east of
iNobah'" and Jogbehah, and smote the
host : for the host was secure.*
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna
fled, he pursued after them, and took"
the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zal-
munna, and " discomfited all the host.
13 And Gideon, the son of Joash, retmm-
cd from battle before the sun loas up,
14 And caught a young man of the men
of Succoth, and inquired of him : and he
described P unto him the princes of Suc-
coth, and the elders thereof, even three-
score and seventeen men.
15 And he came unto the men of Suc-
coth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zal-
munna, with whom* ye did upbraid me,
saying. Are the hands of Zebah and Zal-
munna now in thine hand, that we should
give bread unto thy men ihat are weary ?
16 And he took the elders of the city, and
thorns of the wilderness, and briers, and
with them he <^ taught the men of Succoth.
17 And he beat down the*' tower of Pe-
nuel, and slew the men of the city.

munna, What manner of men tvere the;/
whom ye slew at Tabor ? * And they an-
swered, As thou art, so tvere they; each
one ^ resembled the children of a king.
19 And he said. They were my brethren,
even the sons of my mother : as the Loed
liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I woidd
not slay you.
20 And he said unto Jether his first-
born, Up, and slay them: but the youth
drew not his sword: for he feared, be-
cause he toas yet a youth.
21 Then Zebah and Zabnunna said, Rise
thou, and fall upon us ; for as the man is,
so is his strength. And Gideon arose,
and slew Zebah and Zalmiinna, and took
away the ^ornaments that were on their
camels' necks.
22 Then the men of Israel said unto
Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou,
and thy son, and thy son's son also ; for
thou hast delivered us from the hand of
Midian.
23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not
rule over you, neither shall mj"" son rule
over you : the Loed/ shall rule over you.
24 And Gideon said unto them, I would
desire a request of you, that ye would
give me every man the earrings of his
prey: (for they had golden earrings,
because they tuere Ishmaehtes. ^)
25 And they answered. We will wil-
lingly give thejn. And they spread a gar-
ment, and did cast therein every man
the earrings of his prey.
26 And the weight of the golden car-
rings that he requested was a thousand
and seven hundred shelcels of gold, beside
ornaments, and "collars, and purple rai-
ment that ivas on the kings of Midian,
and beside the chains that were about
their camels' necks.
27 And Gideon made' an ephod thereof,
and put it in his city, even in Ophrah:"'
and all Israel went thither a" whoring
after it, which thing became a^ snare
unto Gideon, and to his house.
28 Thus was Midian subdued before
the childi-en of Israel, so that they lifted
up their heads no more : and the country
was in quietness forty years in the days
of Gideon.
29 And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash,
went and dwelt in his own house.
30 Aud Gideon had* threescore and
ten sons /*of his body begotten: for he
had many Avives.
31 And his concubine, that tuas in She-
chem, she also bare liim a son, whose
name he "^ called Abimelech. '•'
32 And Gideon, the son of Joash, died
in a good"* old age, and was buried in the
sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah
of the Abi-ezrites.
33 And it came to pass, as soon* as Gi-
deon was dead, that the childi-en of Israel
tm-ned again, and went a whoring after
Baalim, and made Baal-berithy their god.
34 And the children of Israel remem-
bered not« the Loed their God, who had
delivered them out of the hands of all
their enemies on every side :
35 Neither* shewed they kindness to
the house of Jerubbaal, namely Gideon,
according to all the goodness which he
had shewed unto Israel.

brethren, and communed with them, and
with all the family of the house of his
mother's father, saying,
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all
the men of Shechem, ^Whether is better
for you, either that all the sons of Jerub-
baal, lohich are'' threescore and ten per-
sons, reign over you, or that one reign
over you ? remember also that I am your
bone"^ and your flesh.
3 And his mother's brethren spake of
him in the ears of all the men of Snechem
all these words : and their hearts in-
chned Vto follow Abimelech; for they
said, He is our brother.
4 And they gave hhn threescore and ten
pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-be-
rith,'' wherewith Abimelech hired* vain
and hght persons, which followed him.
5 And he went unto his father's house
at Ophrah, and slew* his brethren, the
sous of Jerubbaal, being threescore and
ten persons, upon one stone : notwith-
standing yet Jotham the youngest son of
Jerubbaal was left ; for he hid himself
6 And all the men of Shechem gathered
together, and all the house of Millo, and
went, and made Abimelech king, by the
^ plain of the pillar that loas in Shechem.
7 And when they told it to Jotham,
he went and stood in the top of mount
Grerizim,' and lifted up his voice, and
cried, and said imto them, Hearken unto
me, ye men of Shechem, that Grod may
hearken unto you.
8 The trees" went forth on a time to
anoint a king over them; and they said
unto the oHve tree, Reign thou over us.
9 But the ohve tree said unto them.
Should I leave my fatness,? wherewith
by me they honour Grod and man, and
go ^ to be promoted over the trees ?
10 And the trees said to the fig tree,
Come thou, and reign over us.
11 But the fig tree said unto them.
Should I forsake my sweetness, and my
good fruit, and go to be promoted over
the trees?
12 Then said the trees unto the vine,
Come thou, and reign over us.
13 And the vine said unto them, Should
I leave my wine, which* cheereth (jod and
man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
14 Then said all the trees unto the
M bramble. Come thou, and reign over us.
15 And the bx-amble said unto the trees. If
in truth ye anoint me king over you, then
come and put your trust in my shadow;*
and if not, let fire" come out of the bram-
ble, and devour the cedars** of Lebanon.
16 JN'ow therefore, if ye have done
truly and sincerely in that ye have made
Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well
with Jerubbaal and his house, and have
done unto him according to the deserving
of his hands ;

'r adventured his life far, and dehvered
you out of the hand of Midian ;

ther's house this day, and have slain his

20 But if not, let" fire come out from
Abimelech, and devour the men of She-
chem, and the house of Millo; and let
fire come out from the men of Shechem,
and from the house of Millo, and devour
Abimelech.
21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and
went to Beer,*; and dwelt there, for fear
of Abimelech nis brother.
22 When Abimelech had reigned three
years over Israel,
23 Then Grod seut« an evil spirit be-
tween Abimelech and the men of She-
chem; and the men of Shechem/ dealt
treacherously with Abimelech :
24 ThaXo the cruelty done to the three-
score and ten sons of Jerubbaal might
come, and their blood be laid upon Abi-
melech their brother, which slew them;
and upon the men of Shechem, which
^ aided him in the kilhng of his brethren.
25 And the men of Shechem set hers in
wait for him in the top of the mountains,
and they robbed all that came along that
way by them : and it was told Abimelech.
2Q And Graal, the son of Ebed, came
with his brethren, and went over to She-
chem: and the men of Shechem put then*
confidence in him.
27 And they went out into the fields,
and gathered then* vineyards, and trode
the grapes, and made 'J merry, and went
into the house"* of their god, and did eat
and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
28 And Graal, the son of Ebed, said. Who
is'* Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that
we should serve him ? is not he the son of
Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve
the men of Hamor,^ the father of She-
chem ; for why should we serve liim ?
29 And would'' to Grod this people were
under my hand! then woidd I remove
Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech,
Increase thine army, and come out.
30 And when Zebul, the ruler of the
city, heard the words of Graal, the son of
Ebed, his auger was " kindled.
31 And he sent messengers unto Abi-
melech ^privily, saying, Behold, Gaal,
the son of E^bed, and his brethren, be come
to Shechem ; and, behold, they fortify the
city against thee.
32 Now, therefore, up by night, thou
and the people that is with thee, and He
in wait in the field :
33 And it shall be, that in the morning,
as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise
early, and set upon the city: and, behold,
tohen he and the people that is with him
come out against thee, then mayest thou
do to them as " thou shalt find occasion.
34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the
people that loere with him, by night, and
they laid wait against Shechem in four
companies.
35 And Graal, the son of Ebed, went out,
and stood in the entering of the gate of the
city : and Abimelech rose up, and the peo-
ple that loere with him, from lying in wait,
36 And when Graal saw the people, he
said to Zebul, Behold, there come people
down from the top of the mountains.
And Zebul said unto him. Thou seest the
shadow of the mountains as if they were
men.
37 And Gaal spake again, and said. See,
there come people down by the P middle
of the land, and another company come
along by the plain of <^ Meonenim.
AbimelecJi^s vengeance, and death.
JUDQ-ES, X. Israel oppressed hy tJie Ammonites.
38 Then said Zebul unto him, AVliere is
now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst,"
Who is Abimelech, that we shotild serve
him? Is not this the people that thou hast
despised? go out, I praj' now, and fight
with them.
39 And G-aal went out before the men
of Shechem, and fought Avith Abimelech.
40 And Abimelech chased him, and he
fled before him; and many were orer-
thrown and wounded, even unto the enter-
ing of the gate.
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah :
and Zebul thrust out G-aal and his breth-
ren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
42 And it came to pass on the morrow
that the people went out into the field;
and they told Abimelech.
43 And he took the people, and divided
them into three companies, and laid wait
in the field, and looked, and, behold, the
Eeople were come forth out of the city ; and
e rose up against them, and smote them.
44 And Abimelech, and the company that
ivas with him, rushed forward, and stood in
the entering of the gate of the city : and the
two other companies ran upon all the peo-
ple that were in the fields, and slew them.
45 And Abimelech fought against the
city all that day : and«' he took the city, and
slew the people that tvas therein, and beat
down^ the city, and sowed it with salt.*
46 And when all the men of the tower
of Shechem heard that, they entered into
an hold of the house of the god Berith,*
47 And it was told Abimelech that all
the men of the tower of Shechem were
gathered together.
48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount
Zalmon,"* he and all the people that tvere
with him ; and Abimelech took an axe in
liis hand, and cut down a bough from the
trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoul-
der, and said unto the people that were
with him. What ye have seen fme do,
make haste, and do as I have done.
49 And all the people likewise cut do^vn
every man his bough, and followed Abi-
melech, and put them to the hold, and set
the hold on fire upon them ; so that all the
men of the tower of Shechem died also,
about a thousand men and women.
50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and
encamped against Thebez, and took it.
51 But there was a strong tower within
the city, and tliither fled all the men and wo-
men, and all they of the city, and shut it to
them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
52 And Abimelech came unto the tower,
and fought against it, and went hard unto
the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53 Andy a certain woman cast a piece
of a millstone upon Abimelech's head,
and all to brake his skull.
54 Then* he called hastily unto the
young man his armourbearer, and said
unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me,
that men say not of me, A woman slew
him. And his young man thrust him
through, and he died.
55 And when the men of Israel saw
that Abimelech was dead, they departed
every man unto his place.
56 Thus Grod rendered*^ the wicked-
ness of Abimelech, wMch he did unto his
father, in slaying his seventy brethren :
57 And all the evil of the men of She-
chem did Grod render upon their heads :
and upon them came the curse ^ of Jotham

. CHAPTER X.
j^JsTD after Abimelech there arose, to
^defend Israel, Tola the son of Puah,
the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and
he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
2 And he judged Israel twenty and three
years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 And after him arose Jair a Grileadite,
and judged Israel twenty and two years.
4 And he had tliirty sons that rode* on
thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities,
which'' are called Y Havoth-jair unto this
day, which are in the land of Grilead.
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
6 And"^ the children of Israel did evil
again in the sight of the Loed, and served
Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Sy-
ria, and the gods of^ Zidon, and the gods of
Moab, and the gods of the children of Am-
mon, and the gods of the Phihstines, and
forsook the Loed, and served not him.
7 And the anger of the Loed was hot
against Israel, and he sold/ them into
the hands of the Philistines, and into the
hands of the children of Ammon.
8 And that year they vexed and ^ op-
pressed the children of Israel eighteen
years, all the children of Israel that ioere
on the other side Jordan, in the land of
the Amorites, which is in Grilead.
9 Moreover, the childi-en of Ammon
passed over Jordan to fight also against
Judah, and against Benjamin, and against
the house of Ephraim ; so that Israel
was sore distressed.'
10 And the children of Israel cried unto
the Loed, saying, We have sinned against
thee, both because we have forsaken our
Grod, and also served Baalim.
11 And the Loed said unto the children of
Israel, Bid not I deliver you from the Egyp-
tians," and from the Amorites," from the chil-
dren of Ammon,^ and from the Philistines ?
12 The Zidonians^ also, and the Ama-
lekites,** and the Maonites did oppress «
you ; and ye cried to me, and I delivered
you out of their hand.
13 Yet ye have forsaken me,< and served
other gods ; wherefore I wiU deliver you
no more.
14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye
have chosen; let them" deliver you in
the time of your tribulation.
15 And the children of Israel said unto
the Loed, We have sinned ; do thou** unto
us whatsoever ^ seemeth good unto thee ;
dehver us only, we pray thee, this day.
16 And they put away"' the ^strange
gods from among them, and served the
Loed : and his soul was « grieved* for
the misery of Israel.
17 Then the children of Ammon were ^ga-
thered together, and encamped in Grilead :
and the children of Israel assembled them-
selves together, and encamped in Mizpeh."
18 And the people and princes of Gilead
said one to another. What man is he that
will begin to fight against the children of
Ammon? he shall be head over all the
inhabitants of Grilead.
TVT CHAPTER XI.
JMOW Jephthah* the G-ileadite was" a
mighty man of valour, and he was the son
of an I*- harlot ; and Gilead begat Jephthah.
2 And Grilead's wife bare him sons : and
his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust
out Jephthah, and said unto him. Thou
shalt not/ inherit in our father's house ; for
Jephthah's expedition against Amnion. JUDG-ES, XI.
JepMhaKs rash vow.
thou art the son of a strange woman.
3 Then Jephthah fled pfrom his bre-
thren, and dwelt in the land of Tob : and
there were gathered vain" men to Jeph-
thah, and went out with him.
4 And it came to pass yin process of
time, that the children of Ammon made
war against Israel.
5 And it was so, that when the children
of Ammon made war against Israel, the
elders of Grilead went to fetch Jephthah
out of the land of Tob :
6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come,
and be our captain, that we may fight
with the children of Ammon.
7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of
Grilead, Did"^ not ye hate me, and expel
me out of my father's house? and why
are ye come unto me now when ye are
in distress?
8 And the elders of Gilead said unto
Jephthah, Therefore we turn again i' to
thee now, that thou mayest go with us,
and fight against the children of Ammon,
and be our head* over all the inhabitants
of Gilead.
9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of
G-ilead, If ye bring me home again to
fight against the children of Amnion,
and the Lord deliver them before me,
shall I be your head?
10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jeph-
thah. The" LoED be ^witness between
us, it we do not so according to thy words.
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of
Gilead, and the people made him head" and
captain over them: and Jephthah uttered
all his words before the Loed in'' Mizpeh.
12 And Jephthah sent messengers unto
the king of the children of Ammon, saying,
What hast thou to do with me, that thou
art come against me to fight in my land ?
13 And the king of the children of Am-
mon answered unto the messengers of
Jephthah, Because Israel* took away my
laud, when they came up out of Egypt,
from Arnon even unto Jabbok," and unto
Jordan: now, therefore, restore those
lands again peaceably.
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again
unto the king of the children of Ammon,
15 And said unto him, Thus saith Jeph-
thah, Israel took nof" away the land of-
Moab, nor the land of the children of
Ammon :
16 But when Israel came up from Egypt,
and walked^ through the wilderness unto
the Eed sea, and came* to Kadesh;
17 Then Israel sent messengers unto
the king of Edom, saying. Let me, I
pray thee, pass through thy land : but the
king of Edom would not hearken there-
to. And in like manner they sent unto
the king of Moab ; but he would not con-
sent : and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 Then they went along through the
wilderness, and compassed*^ the land of
Edom, and the land of Moab, and came
by the east side of the land of Moab, and
pitched on the other side of Arnon, but
came not within the border* of Moab : for
Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 And Israel sent^ messengers unto
Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of
Heshbon; and Israel said unto him. Let
us pass, we pray thee, through thy land
into my place.
20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass
through his coast : but Sihon gathered all

UT_ it came to pass within a while
after, in the time of wheat harvest, that
Samson visited his wife with a kid; and
he said, I wiU go in to my wife into the
chamber. But her father would not suffer
him to go in.
2 And her father said, I verily thought
that thou hadst utterly hated her; there-
fore" I gave her to thy companion: is
not her yoimger sister fairer than she?
^ take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
3 And Samson said concerning them,
Now shall I be ^more blameless than
the Philistines, though I do them a dis-

4 And Samson went and caught three
hundred foxes, and took "firebrands,
and turned tail to tail, and put a fire-
brand in the midst between two tails.
5 And when he had set the brands on
fire, he let them go into the standing
corn* of the PhiHstines, and burnt up
both the shocks, and also the standing
corn, with the vineyards and oHves.
6 Then the PhiHstines said. Who hath
done this? And they answered, Samson,
the son in law of the Timnite, because he
had taken his wife, and given her to his
companion. And the PhiHstines came up,
and burnt/ her and her father with fire.

7 And Samson said unto tliem, Though
ye have done this, yet will I be avenged
of you, and after that I will cease.
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with
a great slaughter: and he went down and
dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
9 Then the Phihstines went up, and
pitched in Judah, and spread themselves
m Lehi.<^
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are
ye come up against us? And they an-
swered, To bind Samson are we come up,
to do to him as he hath done to us.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah
went 5 to the top of the rock Etam, and
said to Samson, Knowest thou not that
the "^Philistines are rulers* over us? what
is this that thou hast done imto us ? And
he said imto them, As they did xxnto me,
so have I done unto them.
12 And they said unto him, "We are C9me
down to bind thee, that we may deliver
thee into the hand of the Phihstines. And
Samson said unto them, Swear unto me,
that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 And they spake imto him, saying,
No; but we will bind thee fast, and de-
liver thee into their hand; but surely
we will not kill thee. And they bound
him with two new cords, and brought
him up from the rock.
14 A}id when he came unto Lehi, the
Philistiaes shouted against him ; and/
the Spirit of the Lord came mightily
upon him, and the cords J' that ivere upon
his arms became as flax that was burnt
with fire, and his bands ^loosed from off
his hands.
15 And he found a f^new jawbone of an
ass, and put forth his hand and took it,
and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 And Samson said. With the jawbone
of an ass, »' heaps upon heaps, with the jaw
of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
17 And it came to pass, when he had
made an end of speaking, that he cast
away the jawbone out ol his hand, and
called that place '^ Ramath-lehi.
18 And he was sore athirst. and called
on the Lord, and said, Thou" hast given
this great deliverance into the hand of
thy servant; and now shall I die for
thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncir-
cumcised?
19 But God clave an hollow place that
was in Pthe jaw, and there came* water
thereout; and when he had drunk, his
spirit came agaui,' and he revived: where-
fore he called the name thereof ^En-
hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
20 And he judged"' Israel, ia the days
of the Philistines, twenty years.

■ having his servant
with him, and a couple of asses : and she
brought him into her father's house; and
when the father of the damsel saw him,
he rejoiced to meet him.
4 And his father in law, the damsel's
father, retained him; and he abode with
him three days : so they did eat and drink,
and lodged there.
5 And it came to pass on the fourth day,
when they arose early in the morning,
that he rose up to depart : and the dam-
sel's father said unto his son in law,
<« Comfort thuie" heart with a morsel of
bread, and afterward go your way.
6 And they sat down, and did eat and
drink both of them together : for the dam-
sel's father had said unto the man, Be
content, I pray thee, and tarry all night,
and let thine heart^ be merry.
7 And when the man rose up to depart,
his father in law urged him : therefore
he lodged there again.
8 And he arose early in the morning
on the fifth day to depart : and the dam-
sel's father said. Comfort thine heart, I
pray thee. And they tarried ^ until after-
noon, and they did eat both of them.
9 And when the man rose up to depart,
he and his concubine and his servant, his
father in law, the damsel's father, said
unto him. Behold, now the day "draweth

niglit: behold, ^the daj^* groweth to an
end; lodge here, that thine heart may be
mei'ry; and to morrow get you early on
your way, that thou mayest go 7 home.
10 But the man would not tarry that
night, but he rose up and departed, and
came ^ over against Jebus,* which is Jeru-
salem : and there were with him two asses
saddled ; his concubine also loas with him.
11 And when they tvere by Jebus, the
day was far spent; and the servant said
unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and
let us turn in into this city of the Je-
busites, and lodge in it.
12 And his master said unto him, We
Will not turn aside hither into the city of
a stranger, that is not of the children of
Israel : we will pass over to Gibeah.
13 And he said unto his servant. Come,
and let us draw near to one of these places
to lodge all night, in Gibeah or in*^ Kamah.
14 And they passed on and went their
way; and the sun went down upon them
when they were by Gibeah, which belong-
eth to Benjamin.
15 And they turned aside thither, to go
in and to lodge in Gibeah : and when he
went in, he sat Mm down in a street of
the city ; for there was no man that took
them into his house to lodging.*
16 And, behold, there came an old man
from his work' out of the field at even,
which was also of mount Ephraim; and
he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of
the place tvere Benjamites.
17 And when he had lifted up his eyes,
he saw a wayfaring man in the street of
the city: and the old man said, Whither
goest thou ? and whence comest thou ?
18 And he said unto him, We are pass-
ing from Beth-lehem-judah toward the
side of mount Ephraim; from thence am
I : and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, but
I am noio going to the house" of the Loed ;
and there is no man that 'Jreceiveth me
to house.
19 Yet there is both straw and proven-
der for our asses ; and there is bread and
wine also for me, and for thy handmaid,
and for the young man tvhich is with thy
servants : there is no want of any thing.
20 And the old man said. Peace « he
with thee : howsoever, let all thy wants
lie upon me ; only lodge not in the street.®
21 So' he brought him into his house, and
gave provender unto the asses : and they
washed their feet," and did eat and drink. _
22 Noiv, as they were making their
hearts "^ merry, behold, the men of the citj^
certain sons^ of Belial, beset* the house
round about, and beat at the door, and spake
to the master of the house, the old man,
sajdng. Bring forth" the man that came
into thine house, that we may know him.
23 And the man, the master of the house,
went out unto them, and said unto them.
Nay, my brethren, nai/, I pray you, do
not so wickedly; seeing that tMs man is
come into mine house, do not this folly.*
24 Behold, here is my daughter, a maiden,
and his concubine; them I will bring out
now, and humble <' ye them, and do with
them what seemeth good imto you: but
unto this man do not " so vile a thing.
25 But the men would not hearken to
him: so the man took his concubine, and
brought her forth unto them; and they
knew her, and abused her all the night
until the morning : and when the day

began to spring, they let her go.
26 Then came the woman, in the dawn-
ing of the day, and fell down at the door
of the man's house where her lord was,
till it was light.
27 And her lord rose up in the morn-
ing, and opened the doors of the house,
and went out to go his way: and, behold,
the woman his concubine was fallen down
at the door of the house, and her hands
were upon the threshold.
28 And he said unto her. Up, and let
us be going: but none answered. Then
the man took her up upon an ass, and the
man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
29 And when he was come into his
house, he took a knife, and laid hold on
his concubine, and divided*' her, together
with her bones, into twelve pieces, and
sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
30 And it was so, that all that saw it
said, There was no such deed done nor
seen from the day that the cliildren of
Israel came up out of the land of Egypt
unto this day : consider « of it, take ad-
vice,/ and speak your minds.
rn CHAPTER XX.
X HENS' all the children of Israel went
out, and the congregation was gathered
together as one man, from* Dan even
to Beer-sheba, with the land of GUead,
unto the LoED in Mizpeh.*
2 And the cliief of all the people, even
of all the tribes of Israel, presented them-
selves in the assembly of the people of
God, four hundred thousand footmen
that'" drew sword.
3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard
that the children of Israel were gone up
to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of
Israel, Tell us, how was this'' wicked-
ness?
4 And ^the Levite, the husband of the
woman that was slain, answered and
said, I earned into Gibeah that helong-
eth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to
lodge.
5 And the men of Gibeah rose against
me, and beset^ the house round about
up9n me by night, and thought to have
slain me; and my concubine have they
forced,^ that she is dead.
6 And*" I took my concubine, and cut
her in -pieces, and sent her throughout
all the country of the inheritance of Is-
rael: for they have committed lewdness
and folly" in Israel.
7 Behold, ye are aU children of Israel;
give* here your advice and counsel.
8 And all the people arose as one man,
saying. We will not any of us go to his
tent, neither will we any of us turn into
his house:
9 But now this shall he the thing which
we wiU do to Gibeah, we will go ujy by lot
against it:
10 And we will take ten men of an
hundred throughout all the tribes of Is-
rael, and an hundred of a thousand, and
a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch
victual for the people, that they may do,
when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin,
according to all the foUy that they have
wrought in Israel.
11 So all the men of Israel were ga-
thered against the city, ^knit together
as one man.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent*^ men
through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying,
War with the Benjamites.
Wtat wickedness is this that
among you?
13 Now therefore deliver ^ls the men," the
children of Belial, which are m G-ibeah,
that we may put them to death, and put
away* evil from Israel. But the children o±
Benjamin would not hearken to the voice
of their brethren the children of Israel :
14 But the children of Benjanun ga-
thered themselves together out of the
cities imto G-ibeah, to go out to battle
against the children of Israel.
15 And the children of Benjamin were
numbered at that time, out of the cities,
twenty and six thousand men that drew
sword, beside the inhabitants of G-ibeah,
which were numbered seven hundred
chosen men.
16 Among aU this people, there were
seven hundred chosen men*' lefthanded:
every one could sling stones at an hair
breadth^ and not miss.
17 And the men of Israel, beside Ben-
jamin, were numlbered four hundred thou-
sand men that drew sword : all these loere
men of war.
18 And the children of Israel arose,
and went* up to the house of God, and
asked/ counsel of God, and said. Which
of us shall go up first to the battle against
the children of Benjamin ? And the Loed
said, Judah shall go up first.
19 And the children of Israel rose up in
the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20 And the men of Israel went out to
battle against Benjamin; and the men
of Israel put themselves in array to fight
against them at G-ibeah.
21 And the children of Benjamin came
forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed* down
to the groimd, of the Israelites that day,
twenty and two thousand men.
22 And the people, the men of Israel,
encouraged themselves, and set their bat-
tle again in array in the place where they
put themselves in array the first day.
23 (And' the children of Israel went
up, and wept before the Loed until even,
and asked counsel of the Loed, saying,
Shall I go up again to battle against the
children of Benjamin my brother? And
the Loed said, G-o up against him.)
24 And the children of Israel came
near against the children of Benjamin
the second day.
25 And Benjamin went forth against
them out of Gibeah the second day, and
destroyed"* down to the ground, of the
children of Israel again, eighteen thou-
sand men : all these drew the sword.
26 Then" all the children of Israel, and
aU the people, went up, and came unto
the house of God, and wept,^ and sat there
before the Loed, and fasted that day un-
til even, and offered burnt offerings and
peace offerings before the Loed.
27 And the children of Israel inquired
of the Loed, (for? the ark of the cove-
nant of God ivas there in those days ;
28 And Phinehas,'" the son of Eleazar,
the son of Aaron, stood* before it in those
days,) saying. Shall I yet again go out to
battle against the children of Benjamin
my brother, or shall I cease? And the
Loed said. Go up; for" to morrow I
wiU deliver them into thine hand.
29 And Israel set liers" in wait round
about Gibeah.
30 And the children of Israel went up

against the children of Benjamm on the
third day, and put themselves in array
against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 And the children of Benjamin went
out against the i^eople, and were drawn
away from the city; and they began to
smite of the people P and kill, as at other
times, in the highways, of which one
goeth up to Vthe house of God, and the
other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty
men of Israel.
32 And the children of Benjamin said.
They are smitten down before us, as at
the first. But the children of Israel said.
Let us flee, and draw them from the city
unto the highways.
33 And all the men of Israel rose up
out of their place, and put themselves in
array at Baal-tamar ; and the liers in wait
of Israel came forth out of their places,
eveti out of the meadows of Gibeah.
34 And there came against Gibeah ten
thousand chosen men out of all Israel,
and the battle was sore: buf they knew
not that evil tvas near them.
35 And the Loed smote Benjamin be-
fore Israel: and the children of Israel
destroyed of the Benjamites that day
twenty and five thousand and an hun-
dred men : all these drew the sword.
36 So the children of Benjamin saw
that they were smitten : for the men of
Israel gave places' to the Benjamites, be-
cause they trusted unto the hers in wait
which they had set beside Gibeah.
37 And the liers in wait hasted, and
rushed upon Gibeah ; and the liers in
wait 5 drew themselves along, and smote
aU the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Now there was an appointed ^sign
between the men of Israel 'land the liers
in wait, that they should make a great
flame ^ with smoke rise up out of the city.
39 And when the men of Israel retired in
the battle, Benjamin began to smite <« and
kni of the men of Israel about thirty per-
sons ; for they said. Surely they are smit-
ten down before us, as in the first battle.
40 But when the flame began to arise
up out of the city with a pillar of* smoke,
the Benjamites looked behind them, and,
behold, the Aflame of the city ascended
up to heaven.
41 And when the men of Israel turned
again, the men of Benjamin were amaz-
ed:^ for they saw that evil f*was come
upon them.
42 Therefore they turned their hacks
before the men of Israel unto the way of
the wilderness; but the battle" overtook
them: and them which came out of the
cities they destroj^ed in the midst of them.
43 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites
round about, and chased them, and trode
them down "with ease, 'rover against
Gibeah toward the sunrising.
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen
thousand men: all these were men of
valour.
45 And they turned and fled toward
the wilderness unto the rock of* Rimmon :
and they gleaned of them in the high-
ways five thousand men; and pursued
hard after them unto Gidom, and slew
two thousand men of them.
46 So that all which fell that day of
Benjamin were twenty and five thousand
men that drew the sword : aU these were
men of valour.

ears of corn after him in whose
sight I shall find grace. And she said
unto her, G-o, my daughter.
3 And she went, and came, and gleaned
in the field after the reapers : and her
hap "was to light on a part of the field
belonging unto Boaz, who toas of the
kindred of Elimelech.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-
lehem, and said unto the reapers,^ The
Loed he with you. And they** answered
him. The Loed bless thee.
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that
was set over the reapers, Whose damsel
is this ?
6 And the servant that was set over the
reapers answered and said. It is the
Moabitish damsel that came back with
Naomi out of the country of Moab :
7 And she said, I pray you, let me
glean and gather after the reapers among
the sheaves : so she came, and hath con-
tinued even from the mormng imtil now,
that she tarried a Httle in the house.
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest
thou not, my daughter ? Gro not to glean
in another field, neither"' go from hence,
but abide here fast by my maidens :
9 Let thine eyes he on the field that
they do reap, and go thou after them:
have I not charged the young men that

they shall not touch" thee ? and when thou
art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink
of that which the young men have drawn.
10 Then she fell" on her face, and bowed
herself to the ground, and said unto him.
Why have I found grace in thine eyes,
that thou shouldest take knowledge of
me, seeing 1 am a, stranger?
11 And Boaz answered and said unto
her, It hath fully been shewed me« all
that thou hast done unto thy mother in
law since the death of thine husband;
and how thou hast left thy father and thy
mother, and the land of thy nativity, and
art come unto a people which thou knew-
est not heretofore.
12 The LoED recompense/ thy work,
and a fall reward be given thee of the
LoED God of Israel, under whose wings
thouf' art come* to trust.
13 Then she said, 7 Let me find* favour
in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast
comforted me, and for that thou hast
spoken ^friendly unto thine handmaid,
though I be not like imto one of thine
handmaidens.
14 And Boaz said unto her. At meal-
time come thou hither, and eat of the
bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar.
And she sat beside the reapers : and he
reached her parched corn, and she did
eat, and was sufficed, and left.'"
15 And when she was risen up to glean,
Boaz commanded his young men, saying,
Let her glean even among the sheaves,
and ^reproach" her not:
16 And let fall also some of the handfuls
of purpose for her, and leave them, that
she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
17 So she gleaned in the field until
eveUj and beat out that she had gleaned:
and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 And she took it up, and went into
the city; and her mother in law saw
what she had gleaned; and she brought
forth, and gave to her that she had re-
served after she was sufficed.
19 And her mother in law said unto her.
Where hast thou gleaned to day? and
where wroughtest thou? blessed be* he
that did take knowledge of thee. And she
shewed her mother in law with whom she
had wrought, and said, The man's name
with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
20 And Naomi said imto her daughter
in law, Blessed" he he of the Loed, who
hath not left off"* liis kiadness to the
living and to the dead. _ And Naomi
said unto her. The man w near of kin
unto us, one i^oi our next kinsmen.
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said. He
said unto me also. Thou* shalt keep
fast by my young men, until they have
ended all my harvest.
22 lind Naomi said unto Ruth her
daughter in law, It is good, my daugh-
ter, that thou go out with his maidens
that they "meet thee not in any other
field.
23 So she kept* fast by the maidens of
Boaz to glean unto the end of barley
harvest, and of wheat harvest ; and dwelt
with her mother in law.

RUTH, IV. Euth's visit to Boaz.
2 And now is not Boaz of our kiadred,
with whose maidens thou wast?* Be-
hold, he winnoweth barley to night in
the threshingfloor.
3 Wash thyself, therefore, and<^ anoint
thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and
get thee down to the floor : hut make not
thyself known unto the man, until he
shall have done eating and drinking.
4 And it shall be, when he lieth down,
that thou shalt mark the place where he
shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and ^un-
cover his feet, and lay thee down; and
he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 And she said unto her, All that thou
sayest unto me I will do.
6 And she went down unto the floor,
and did according to all that her mo-
ther in law bade her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk,
and his heart was merry, '"^ he went to lie
down at the end of the heap of corn : and
she came softly, and imcovered his feet,
and laid her down.
8 And it came to pass at midnight, that
the man was afraid, and ^turned himself;
and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 And he said, Who art thou ? And she
answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid;
spread ' ^ therefore thy skirt over thine
handmaid ; for thou art v a near kinsman.
10 And he said. Blessed be thou of the
Loed, my daughter ; for thou hast shewed
more kindness in the latter end than at
the beginning," inasmuch as thou foUow-
edst not young men, whether poor or rich.
11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I
will do to thee aU that thou requirest:
for all the '«city of my people doth know
that thou art a virtuous^' woman.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy
near kinsman : howbeit,? there is a kins-
man nearer than I.
13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in
the morning, that if he will perform unto
thee the parf" of a kinsman, well ; let him
do the kinsman's part : but if he will not
do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will
I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as^ the
Loed liveth : lie down until the morning.
14 And she lay at his feet until the
morning; and she rose up before one
could know another. And he said," Let
it not be known that a woman came into
the floor.
15 Also he said. Bring the ^vail that
thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And
when she held it, he measured sis mea-
sures of barley, and laid it on her: and
she went into the city.
16 And when she came to her mother
in law, she said. Who art thou, my
daughter? And she told her all that the
man had done to her.
17 And she said. These six measures of
barley gave he me : for he said to me, Gro
not empty unto thy mother in law.
18 Then said she, Sit^ still, my daugh-
ter, until thou know how the matter will
fall: for the man will not be_ in rest,
until he have finished the thing this day.
CHAPTER IV.
Then went Boaz up to the gate, and
sat him down there : and, behold, the
kinsman, of whom Boaz spake,** came
by: unto whom he said. Ho, such a one!
turn aside, sit down here. And he turned
aside, and sat down.

Ruth mmried to Boaz. RUTH, lY.
2 And he took ten men of the" elders
of the city, and said, Sit ye down here.
And they sat down.
3 And he said unto the kinsman, Na-
omi, that is come again out of the coun-
try of Moab, selleth a parcel^ of land,
which was our brother Elimelech's :
4 And ^I thought to advertise thee,
saying, Buy*^ it before* the inhabitants,
and before the elders of my people. If
thou wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if
thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me,
that I may know: for there is none to
redeem it beside thee ; and I am after
thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buy-
est the field of the hand of Naomi, thou
must buy it also of Euth the Moabitess,
the wife of the dead, to raise up* the
name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot re-
deem it for myself, lest I mar mine own
inheritance: redeem thou my right to
thyself: for I cannot redeem it.
7 Now this' toas the manner in former
time in Israel, concerning redeeming,
and concerning changing, for to confirm
aU things; A man plucked ofi" his shoe,
and gave it to his neighbour: and this
loas a testimony in Israel.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto
Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew oft'
his shoe.
9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and
unto all the people. Ye are witnesses tliis
day, that I have bought all i\iQ.t was EH-
melech's, and aU that tvas Chilion's and
Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the
wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be
my wife, to raise up the name of the dead
upon his inheritance, that the name of
the dead be not cut off" from among his

brethren, and from the gate of his place :
ye are witnesses this day.
11 And all the people that ^oere in the
gate, and the elders, said, TFe are wit-
nesses. The Lord* make the woman that
is come into thine house like Rachel and
Uke Leah, which two'' did build the house
of Israel : and V do thou worthily in Ephra-
tah,/ and ^ be famous in Beth-lehem :
12 And let thy house be like the house
of Pharez, whom Tamars' bare unto Ju-
dah, of the seed which the Loed shall
give thee of this young woman.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was liis
wife : and when he went in unto her, the
Lord gave* her conception, and she bare
a son.
14 And* the women said unto Naomi,
Blessed he the Lord, which hath not
fleft thee this day without a ^ kinsman,
that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer
of th?/ Hfe, and ^a nourisher of « thine
old age: for thy daughter in law, which
loveth thee, which is better"" to thee than
seven sons, hath born him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid
it in her bosom, and became nurse imto it.
17 And" the women her neighbours
gave it a name, saying. There is a son
born to Naomi; and they called his
name Obed : he is tlie father of Jesse,
the father of David.
18 Now these are the generations of
Pharez: Pharez <> begat Hezron,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram
begat Amminadab,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon,^
and Nahshon begat '^Salmon,

begat Obed,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse
begat David. «

-T- CHAPTER I.
JN OW there was a certain man of Ra-
mathaim-zopliini, of mount Ephraim, and
his name tvas Elkanah,* the son of Jero-
ham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu,
the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite :
2 And he had two wives; the name of
the one loas Hannah, and the name of
the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had
children, but Hannah had no children.
3 And this man went up out of his city
yj^early^ to worship, and to sacrifice
unto the Loed of hosts in Shiloh. And
the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phine-
has, the priests of the Loed, toere there.
4 And when the time was that Elkanah
ofiered,« he gave to Peninnah his wife,
and to all her sons and her daughters,
portions :
5 But unto Hannah he gave a ^worthy
portion; for he loved Hannah; huts' the
Loed had shut up her womb.
6 And her adversary also i? provoked
her' sore, for to make her fret, because
the Loed had shut up her womb.
7 And as he did so year by year,
^when she went up to the house of the
Loed, so she provoked her; therefore
she wept, and did not eat.
8 Then said Elkanah her husband to
her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and
why eatest thou not? and whv is thy
heart grieved? am not I better' to thee
than ten sons ?
9 So Hannah rose up, after they had
eaten in ShUoh, and after they had drunk.
Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a
post of the temple of the Loed.
10 And she ivas ^in bitterness of soul,
and prayed unto the Loed, and wept sore.
11 And she vowed" a vow, and said, O
Loed of hosts, if thou wilt indeed^ look on
the affliction of thine handmaidj and re-
member' me, and not forget thme hand-
maid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid
''a man child, then I will give him unto
the Loed aU the days of his life, and
there shall no razor** come upon his head.
12 And it came to pass, as she 'r con-
tinued praying before the Loed, that
Eli marked her mouth.
13 Now Hannah, she spake in her
heart; only her lips moved, out her voice
was not heard: therefore Eli thought she
had been drunken.
14 And Eli said unto her, How long
wilt thou be drunken? put away thy
wine from thee.
15 And Hannah answered and said.
No, my lord; I am a woman '''of a
sorrowM spirit : I have drunk neither
wine nor strong drink, but have" poured
out my soul before the Loed.
16 Count not thine handmaid for a
daughter of Belial : for out of the abun-
dance of my ■r complaint and grief have
I spoken hitherto.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in
peace: and the God of Israel grant «* thee
thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
18 And she said, Let thine handmaid

was in favour both* with the Lord, and
also with men.
27 And there came a man of God unto
Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the
Lord, Did I plainly appear*^ unto the
house of thy father, when they were in
Egypt m Pharaoh's house ?
28 And did I choose him«' out of all the
tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer
upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear
an ephod before me? and did I give' unto
the house of thy father all the offerings
made by fire of the children of Israel ?
29 Wherefore kick" ye at my sacrifice
and at mine offering, which I have com-
manded hi my habitation; and honourest
thy sons above me, to make yourselves
fat with the chiefest of all the offerings
of Israel my people ?
30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel
saith, I said 2 indeed that thy house, and
the house of thy father, should walk be-
fore me for ever: but now the Lord
saith, Be it far from me ; for them* that
honour me I will honour, and they that
despise* me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Behold, the days" come that I will
cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy
father's house, that there shall not be an
old man in thine house.
32 And thou shalt see ^an enemy in
my habitation, in all the ivealth which God
shall give Israel: and there shall not be
an old man in thine house for ever.
33 And the man of thine, whom I shall
not cut off from mine altar, shall be to
consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine
heart : and all the increase of thine house
shall die ^ in the flower of their age.
34 And this shall be a sign unto thee,
that shall come upon thy two sons, on
Hophni and Phinehas : in one day they
shall die"' both of them.
35 Andy I win raise me up a faithful
priest, that shall do according to that
which is in mine heart, and in my mind :
and I will build him a sure house : and he
shall walk before mine Anointed for ever.
36 And it shall come to pass, that every
one that is left in thine house shall come
a7id crouch to him for a piece of silver and
a morsel of bread, and shall say, ^Put
me, I pray thee, into ^one of the priests'
offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
. CHAPTER III.
JLND the child Samuel ministered unto
the Lord before Eli. And the word*' of
the Lord was precious in those days ;
there was no open vision.
2 And it came to pass at that time,
when Eli was laid down in his place, and
his ej^es began to wax dim, that he could
not see :
3 And ere the lamp '^ of God went out in the
temple of the Lord, where the ark of God
was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep ;
4 That the Lord called Samuel: and
he answered. Here am 1 .
5 And he ran unto EH, and said. Here
am I ; for thou caUedst me. And he said,
I called not; he down again. And he
went and lay down.
6 And the Lord called yet again, Sa-
muel. And Samuel arose, and went to
EU, and said. Here am I; for thou didst
call me. And he answered, I called not,
my son ; lie down again.
7 Now »' Samuel did not yet know the
Lord, neither was the word of the Lord

yet revealed unto hiin.
8 And the LoED called Samuel again
the third time. And he arose, and went
to Eli, and said. Here am I; for thou
didst call me. And Eli perceived that
the LoED had called the child.
9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go,
lie down : and it shall be, if he call thee,
that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for
thy servant heareth. So Samuel went
and lay down in his place.
10 And the Lord came, and stood, and
called as'^ at other times, Samuel, Sa-
muel. Then Samuel answered, Speak;
for thy servant heareth.
11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Be-
hold, I wiU do a thing in IsraeX at
which*^ both the ears of every one that
heareth it shall tingle.
12 In that day I will perform against
Eli all things which I have spoken* con-
cerning his house: 7 when I begin, I will
also make an end.
13 Eor 51 have told him that I will
judges' his house for ever for the ini-
quity which he knoweth; because his
sons' made themselves ivile, and he re-
strained ^ them not.
14 And therefore I have sworn unto
the house of Eli, that the iniquity of
Eli's house shall not be purged* with
sacrifice nor offering for ever.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning,
and opened the doors of the house of the
Lord : and Samuel feared to shew Eli
the vision.
16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samu-
el, my son. And he answered. Here am I.
17 And he said, What is the thing that
the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray
thee hide it not from me: God" do so to
thee, and '^more also, if thou hide ani/
thing Mfrom me of all the things that he
said unto thee.
18 And Samuel told him "every whit,
and hid nothing from him. And he said,
ItP is the LoED: let him do what seem-
eth liim good.
19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord
was with liim, and« did let none of his
words fall to the ground.
20 And all Israel, from Dan even to
Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was P esta-
blished to be a prophet of the Loed.
21 And the Loed appeared again in Shi-
loh : for the Lord revealed himself to Sa-
muel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
. CHAPTER IV.
j3lND the word of Samuel ^came to all
Israel. Now Israel went out against the
Philistines to battle, and pitched beside
Eben-ezer; and the Philistines pitched
in Aphek.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in
array against Israel: and when ^they
joined battle, Israel was smitten before
the Philistines : and they slew of the 'P army
in the field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were come into
the camp, the elders of Israel said, Where-
fore hath the Lord smitten us to day
before the Philistines? Let us '/'fetch
the ark of the covenant of the Lord out
of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh
among us, it may save us out of the
hand of our enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that
they might bring from thence the ark of
the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which

thine own sight, ivast thou not
made the head of the tribes of Israel, and
the Lord anointed thee king over Israel ?
18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey,
and said. Go, and utterly destroy the
sinners the Amalekites, and fight against
them until they 7 be consumed.
19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey
the voice of the Lord, but didst fiy upon the
spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord?
20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I
have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have
gone the way which the Lord sent me, and
have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and
have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 But/ the people took of the spoil,
sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which
should have been utterly destroyed, to sa-
crifice unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
22 And Samuel said, Hath^ the Lord as
great delight in burnt offerings and sacri-
fices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord ?
Behold, to obey is^ better than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of ^witch-
craft,' and stubbornness is as iniquity and
idolati'y. "' Because thou hast rejected
the word of the Lord, he" hath also re-
jected thee from being king.
24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have
sinned: for I have transgressed the com-
mandment of the Lord, and thy words :
because I feared^ the people, and obeyed
their voice.
25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon
my sin, and turn again with me, that I
may worship the Lord.
26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I« wDl
not return with thee: for thou hast rejected
the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath
rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27 And as Samuel turned about to go
away, he* laid hold upon the skirt of
his mantle, and it rent.
28 And Samuel said unto him. The Lord
hath rent the kingdom of Israel from
thee this day, and hath given it to a neigh-
bour of thine, that is better than thou.
29 And also the ^Strength of Israel
will not lie^ nor repent: for he is not a
man, that he should repent.
30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet
honour" me now, I pray thee, before the
elders of my people, and before Israel,
and turn again with me, that I may
worship the Lord thy God.
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul ;
and Saul worshipped the Lord.
32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither
to me Agag the king of the Amalekites :
and Agag came unto him delicately.
And Agag said. Surely the bitterness of
death is past.
33 And Samuel said. As xhjs sword
hath made women childless, so shall thy
mother be childless among women. And
Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the
Lord in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Eamah ; and Saul
went up to his house, to Gibeah of Saul.
35 And Samuel came no more to see
Saul until the day of his deatli; never-
theless Samuel mourned* for Saul: and
the Lord repented that he had made
Saul king over Israel.
David anointed hy Samuel.
1 SAMUEL, XVI.

. CHAPTER XVI.
A.ND the Lord said unto Samuel,^ How
long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing"^ I
have rejected him from reigning over Is-
rael? Fill thine horn with oil,« and go;
I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehem-
ite: for/ I have provided me a king
among his sons.
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if
Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Loed
said, Take an heifer ^with thee, and saj-,
I am come to sacrifice* to the Loed.
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I
will shew thee what thou shalt do: and
thou shalt anoint unto me him^ whom I
name unto thee.
4 And Samuel did that which the Loed
spake, and came to Beth-lehem: and the
elders of the town trembled at his V com-
ing, and said, Comest thou peaceably ? *
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come
to sacrifice unto the Loed; sanctify'
yourselves, and come with me to the sa-
crifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his
sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6 And it came to pass, when they were
come, that he looked on EUab," and said.
Surely the Loed's anointed is before him.
7 But the Loed said unto Samuel, Look
notP on his countenance, or on the height of
his stature; because I have refused him:
for 9 the LORD seeth not as man seeth;
for man looketh on the »? outward appear-
ance,'' but the Loed looketh on the heart.*
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made
him pass before Samuel. And he said,
Neither hath the Loed chosen this.
9 Then Jesse made (^Shammah to pass
by. And he said, Neither hath the Loed
chosen this.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to
pass before Samuel. And Samuel said un-
to Jesse, The Loed hath not chosen these.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are
here all thy children ? And he said. There
remaineth yet the youngest, and, Ijehold,
he" keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said
unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we
will not sit M down till he come hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in.
Now he tvas ruddy," and withal »'of a
beautiful countenance, and goodly to
look to. And the Loed said. Arise,
anoint him : for this is he.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil,
and anointed him in _ the midst of his
brethren: and the Spirit* of the Loed
came upon David from that day forward.
So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14 But the Spirit of the Loed departed*
from Saul, and an evU" spirit from the
Loed "^ troubled him.
15 And Saul's servants said unto him.
Behold now, an evU spuit from God
troubleth thee.
16 Let our lord now command thy ser-
vants, which are before thee, to seek out a
man who is a cunning player on an harp :
and it shall come to pass, when the evil
spirit from Grod is upon thee, that he shall
play^ with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
17 And Saul said unto his servants.
Provide me now a man that can play
well, and bring him to me.
18 Then answered one of the servants,
and said. Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse
the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in play-
ing, and a mighty valiant* man, and a man
of war, s' and prudent* in p matters, and a

19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers
unto Jesse, and said. Send me David
thy son, which is with the sheep.
20 And Jesse took an ass laden with
bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and
sent them by David his son unto Saul.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood
before i' him: and he loved him greatly;
and he became his armourbearer.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let
David, I pray thee, stand before me; for
he hath found favour in my sight.
23 And it came to pass, when the evil
spirits from God was upon Saul, that
David took an harp, and played with his
hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well,
and the evil spirit departed from him.
^y CHAPTER XVIL
IM OW the Philistines gathered together
their armies to battle, and were gathered
together at Shochoh,"* which" helongeth
to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh
and Azekah, in ^ Ephes-dammim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel
were gathered together, and pitched by
the valley oi Elah, and Sset the battle
in array against the Philistines.
3 And the Philistines stood on a moun-
tain on the one side, and Israel stood on
a mountain on the other side: and there
was a valley between them.
4 And there went out a champion out
of the camp of the Phihstines, named
Goliath, of Gath, whose height luas six
cubits and a span.
5 And he had an helmet of brass upon
his head, and he teas farmed with a coat
of mail ; and the weight of the coat toas
five thousand shekels of brass.
6 And he had greaves .of brass upon
his legs, and a ^target of brass between
his shoulders.
7 And the staff* of his spear was like
a weaver's beam, and his spear's head
iceighed six hundred shekels of iron: and
one bearing a shield went before him.
8 And he stood and cried unto the ar-
mies of Israel, and said unto them, Why
are ye come out to set your battle in
array? Am not I a Philistine, and ye
servants'* to Saul? choose you a man for
you, and let him come down to me.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and to
kill me, then wiU we be your servants : but
if I prevad against him, and kill him, then
shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
10 And the Philistine said, I defy^
the armies of Israel this day: give me a
man, that we may fight together.
11 When Saul and all^ Israel heard
those words of the Philistine, they were
dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 Now David loas the son* of that
Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose
name ivas Jesse ; and he had eight " sons :
and the man went among men for an
old man in the days of Saul.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse
went and followed Saul to the battle:
and the names of his three sons that
went to the battle ivere Ehab the first-
born ; and next unto him, Abinadab ;
and the third, Shammah.
14 And David tvas the youngest : and
the three eldest followed Saul.
15 But David went and returned from Saul
to feed/ his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
16 And the Philistine drew near morn-

ing and evening, and presented himself
forty days.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son.
Take now for thy brethren an ephah of
this parched corn, and these ten loaves,
and run to the camp to thy brethren ;
18 And carry these ten ^ cheeses unto the
captain of 7 their thousand, and look " how
thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
19 Now Saul, and thej", and all the
men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah,
fighting -nith the Philistines.
20 And David rose up early in the
morning, and left the sheep with a keeper,
and took, and went, as Jesse had com-
manded him ; and he came to the f trench,
as the host was going forth to the v fight,
and shouted for the battle.
21 For Israel and the Philistines had put
the battle in array, army against army.
22 And David left ^his carriage in the
hand of the keeper of the carriage, and
ran into the army, and came and *« saluted
his brethren.
23 And as he talked with them, behold,
there came up the champion (the Phihstine
of G-atli, Goliath by name) out of the armies
of the Phihstines, and spake according to
the same words : '^ and David heard them.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they
saw the man, fled from >'him, and were
sore afraid.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye
seen this man that is come up ? surely to
defy Israel is he come up : and it shall
be, that the man who killeth him, the king
wiU enrich him with great riches, and
will give him his daughter,^' and make
his father's house free in Israel.
26 And David spake to the men that
stood by him, saying. What shall be done
to the man that killetn this Philistine, and
taketh away the reproach from Israel ? for
who is this uncircumcised * Philistine, that
he should defy the armies of the living' God?
27 And the people answered him after
this manner, saying. So shall it be done
to the man that killeth him.
23 And EHab, his eldest brother, heard
when he spakeunto the men: andEliab's
anger <> was kindled against David, and
he said. Why camest thou down hither ?
and -with whom hast thou left those few
sheep in the wilderness ? I know thy
pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart ;
for thou art come down that thou might-
est see the battle.
29 And David said,* What have I now
done ? Is there not a cause ?
30 And he turned from him toward
another, and spake after the same P man-
ner: and the people answered him again
after the former manner.
31 And when the words were heard
which David spake, they rehearsed them
before Saul ; and he "^ sent for him.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's
heart faH" because of him : thy servant
will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art
not able to go against this Philistine to
fight with him : for thou art hut a youth,
and he a man of war from his youth,
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy ser-
vant kept his father's sheep, and there
came a liom and a bear, and took a "^ lamb
out of the flock ;
35 And I went out after him, and smote
him, and delivered it out of his mouth:

2 And David said « unto Ahimelech the
priest. The king hath commanded me a
business, and hath said unto me. Let no
man know any thing of the business
whereabout I send thee, and what I have
commanded thee: and I have appointed
my servants to such and such a place.
3 Now, therefore, what is under thine
hand? give me five loaves of bread in
mine hand, or what there is P present.
4 And the priest answered David, and
said. There is no common bread under
mine hand, but there is hallowed * bread ;
if" the young men have kept themselves
at least from women.
5 And David answered the priest, and
said unto him. Of a truth, women have
heen kept from us about these three davs,
since I came out, and the vessels " of the
young men are holy, and the hread is in a
manner common, o"yea, though it were
sanctified this day in the vessel.
6 So the priest gave* him hallowed hread;
for there was no bread there but the
showbread that was taken from before
the Lord, to put hot bread in the day
when it was taken away.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of
Saul was there that day, detained before
the Lord ; and his name teas Doeg,y -an
Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that
helonged to Saul.

8 And David said unto Ahimelech,
And is tliere not here under thine hand
spear or sword ? for I have neither brought
my sword nor my weapons with me, be-
cause the king's business required haste.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Gro-
liath the Philistine, whom*^ thou slewest
in the valley of Elali, behold, it is^ here
wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod : if
thou wilt take that, take it; for there is
no other save that here. And David said,
There is none like that ; give it me.
10 And David arose, and fled that day
for fear of Saul, and went to vAcliish
the king of Gath.
11 And^ the servants of Achish said unto
him. Is not this David the king of the
land? did they not sing one to another of
him in dances, saying/ Saul hath slain liis
thousands, and David his ten thousands?^
12 And David laid up^ these words in
his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish
the king of Grath.
13 And he changed* his behaviour be-
fore them, and feigned himself mad' in
their hands, and ^scrabbled on the doors
of the gate, and let his spittle fall down
upon his beard.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants,
Lo, ye see the man ^is mad; wherefore
then have ye brought him to me ?
15 Have I need of mad men, that ye
have brought this fellow to play the mad-
man in my presence? shall this fellow
come into my house?
-y^ CHAPTER XXII.
JJAYID therefore departed thence, and
escaped" to the cave AduUam:" and when
liis brethren and all his father's house
heard it, they went down thither to him.
2 And? every one that toas in distress,
and every one that ^-was in debt, and
every one that was '^discontented, ga-
thered themselves unto him; and he be-
came a captain* over them: and there
were with him about four hundred men.
3 And David went thence to« Mizpeh
of Moab : and he said unto the king of
Moab, Let my father and my mother, I
pray thee, come forth, and he with you,
tin I know what Grod will do for me.
4 And he brought them before the king
of Moab : and they dwelt Avith him all
the while that David was in the hold.""
5 And the prophet Grad* said unto
David, Abide not in the hold ; depart,
and get thee into the land of Judah.
Then David departed,* and came into
the forest of Hareth.
6 "When Saul heard that David was disco-
vered, and the men that loere with him, (now
Saul abode in Gibeah under a M- tree in E-a-
niah, having his spear in his hand, and all
his servants tvere standing about hun ;)
7 Then Saul said unto his servants that
stood about him. Hear now, ye Benja-
mites ; will the son of Jesse give '^ every
one of you fields and vineyards, and
make you all captains of thousands, and
captains of hundreds ;
8 That aU of you have conspired against
me, and there is none that ''sheweth me
that my son hath made a league « with the
son of Jesse, and there is none of you that
is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that
my son hath stirred up my servant against
me, to lie in wait, as at tlus day ?

and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming
to Nob, to Ahimelech" the son of Ahitub.
10 And he inquired* of the LoiiD for
him, and gave him victuals, and gave him
the sword of Groliath the Philistine.
11 Then the king sent to caU. Ahimelech
the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his
father's house, the priests that ivere in Nob :
and they came all of them to the king.
12 And Saul said. Hear now, thou son
of Ahitub. And he answered, PHere I
am^ my lord.
13 And Saul said unto him, Wliy have
}^e conspired against me, thou and the
son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him
bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of
God for him, that he should rise against
me, to lie in wait, as at this day ?
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king,
and said. And who is so faithfuls' among
all thy servants as David, which is' the
king's son in law, and goetli at thy bid-
ding, and is honourable in thine house ?
15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for
him? be it far from me. Let not the king
impute any thing unto his servant, nor to
all the house of my father : for thy servant
knew nothing of all this.^less or more.
16 And the king said. Thou shalt sure-
ly die, Ahimelech, thou, and all"* thy
father's house.
17 And the king said unto the ^footmen
that stood about him. Turn, and slay the
priests of the Lord ; because their hand
also is with David, and because they knew
when he fled, and did not shew it to me.
But the servants of the king would not
put^ forth their hand to faU upon the
priests of the Lord.
18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou,
and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the
Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests,
and slew*" on that day fourscore and five
persons that did wear a linen ephod.
19 And Nob,' the city of the priests, smote
he with the edge of the sword, both men and
women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and
asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech
the son of Ahitub, named "Abiathar,
escaped, and fled after David.
21 And Abiathar shewed David that
Saul had slain the Lord's priests.
22 And David said unto Abiathar, I
knew it that day, when Doeg the Edom-
ite IV as there, that he would surely tell
Saul:^ I have occasioned the death of all
the persons of thy father's house.
23 Abide thou with me, fear not; for
he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life :
but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
^ CHAPTER XXIII.
XHEN they told David, saying, Behold,
the Philistines fight against Keilah,« and
they rob the threshingfloors.
2 Therefore David inquired* of the Lord,
saying, ShaU I go and smite these Philis-
tines ? And the Lord said unto David, Go,
and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
3 And David's men said*' unto him. Be-
hold, we be afraid here in Judah: how
much more then if we come to Keilah
against the armies of the Philistines ?
4 Then David inquired of the Lord yet
again./ And the Lord answered him and
said. Arise, go down to Keilah ; for I will
deliver the Phihstines into tliine hand.
5 So David and his men Avent to Keilah,
and fought with the Pliilistines, and bi'ought
himself, and come ye again to me witli
the certainty, and I will go with you :
and it shall come to pass, if he be in the
land, that I will search' him out through-
out all tlie thousands"' of Judah.

a great slaughter. So David saved the
inhabitants of Iveilah.
6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar
the son of Ahimelech* fled to David to
Keilah, that he came down with an ephod
in his hand.
7 And it was told Saul that David was
come to Keilah. And Saul said, God
hath delivered him into mine hand : for
he<" is shut in, by entering into a town
that hath gates and bars.
8 And Saul called all the people toge-
ther to war, to go down to Keilah, to
besiege David and his men.
9 And David knew that Saul/ secretly
practised mischief against him ; and *' he
said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither
the ephod.
10 Then said David, O Loed God of
Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard
that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to
destroy the city for* my sake.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up
into his hand? will Saul come down, as
thy servant hath heard? O Loed God of
Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant.
And the Loed said. He wiU come down.
12 Then said David, Will the men of
Keilah *) deliver me and my men into
the hand of Saul? And the Loed said,
They will deliver thee up.
13 Then David and his men,™ whicJi ivere
about six hundred, arose and departed
out of Keilah, and Avent whithersoever
they could go. And it was told Saul that
David was escaped from Keilah; and he
forbare to go forth.
14 And David abode in the _ wilderness
in strong holds, and remained in a moun-
tain'' in the wilderness of Ziph : « and Saul
sought him every day ; but * God dehver-
ed him not into his hand.
15 And David saw that Saul was come
out to seek his life : and David was in the
wilderness of Ziph in a wood,
16 And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose,
and went to David into the wood, and
strengthened^ his hand in God.""
17 And he said unto him. Fear not : for
the hand of Saul my father shall not^ find
thee : and thou shalt be king over Israel,
and I shall be next unto thee ; and that
also Saul'' my father knoweth.
18 And they two*' made a covenant be-
fore the Loed. And David abode in the
wood, and Jonathan Avent to his house.
19 Then came'' up the Ziphites to Saul
to Gibeah, saying. Doth not David hide
himself with us in strong holds in the
wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is
on ^ the south of i^ Jeshimou ?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down,
according to all the desire of thy soid to
come down; and/ our part shall he to
deliver him into the king's hand.
21 And Saul said. Blessed^' be ye of the
Loed ; for ye have compassion on me.
22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know
and see his place where his ''haunt is,
and who hath seen him there: for it is
told me that he dealeth very subtilly.

of all the lurking places where he hideth

9 Aud when David's young men came,
they spake to Nabal according to all those
words in the name of David, and P ceased.
10 And Nabal answered David's ser-
vants, and said, Who" is David? and
who is the son of Jesse ? there be many
servants now a days that break away
every man from his master.
11 Shall* I then take my bread, and
my water, and my y flesh that I have
killed for my shearers, and give it unto
men, whom I know not whence they he ?
12 So David's young men turned their
way, and went again, and came and told
him all those sayings.
13 And David said unto his men. Gird
ye on every man his sword. And they
girded on every man his sword, and Da-
vid also girded on his sword: and there
went up after David about four hundred
men ; and two hundred abodes' by the stuff.
14 But one of the young men told Abi-
gail, Nabal's wife, saying. Behold, David
sent messengers out of the wUderness to
salute our master ; and he '7i'aUed on them.
15 But the men tvere very good unto us,
and
were ^ not hurt, neither missed
207
any thing, as long as we were conversant
with them, when we were in the fields :
16 They were a wall* unto us both by
night and day, aU the while we were with
them keeping the sheep.
17 Now therefore know and consider
what thou wilt do ; for evQ is determined
against our master, and against all his
household : for he is suck a son of Belial,"'
that a man cannot speak to him.
18 Then Abigail made haste, and" took
two hundred loaves, and two bottles of
wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and
five measures of parched corn^ and an hun-
dred "clusters of raisins, and two hun-
dred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
19 And she said unto her servants, »' Go
on before me: behold, I come after you.
But she told not her husband Nabal.
20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass,
that she came down by the covert of the
hill, and behold, David and his men came
down against her ; and she met them.
21 Now David had said. Surely in vain
have I kept all that this fellow hath in the
wilderness, so that nothing was missed
of all that jjertalned unto him: and he
hath requited me evil'' for good.
22 So and moi'e also do God unto the
enemies of David, if I leave of all tliat
pertain to him by the morning light any
that pisseth against the wall.
23 And when Abigail saw David, she
hasted, and lighted y off the ass, and fell
before David on her face, and bowed
herself to the ground,
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon
me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity
be; and let thine handmaid, I pray thee,
speak in thine ''audience, and hear the
words of thine handmaid.
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, ^ re-
gard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for
as his name is, so is he;_ o" Nabal is his
name, and folly is with him : but I thine
handmaid saw not the young men of my
lord, whom thou didst send.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the
Lord hath withholden'' thee from com-
ing to shed blood, and from '^avenging
thyself* with thine own hand, now let
Abigail pacifies David.

tainly make my lord a sure house; be-
cause my lord fighteth/ the battles of the
Lord, and evil hath not* been found in
thee all thy days.
29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee,
and to seek thy soul : but the soul of my
lord shall be bound in the bundle' of life
with the Lord thy God; and the souls
of thine enemies, them shall he sling out,
V as out of the middle of a sling.*
30 And it shall come to pass, when the
Lord shall have done to my lord ac-
cording to aU the good that he hath
spoken concerning thee, and shall have
appointed thee ruler over Israel,
31 That this shall be ^no grief unto thee,
nor oiFence of heart unto my lord, either
that thou hast shed blood causeless, or
that my lord hath avenged himself: but
when the Lord shall have dealt well with
my lord, then remember"* thine handmaid.
32 And David said to Abigail," Blessed
le the Lord G-od of Israel, which sent
thee this day to meet me :
33 And blessed be thy advice,^ and bless-
ed be thou, which hast kept me this day
from coming to shed_ blood, and from
avenging myself with mine own hand.
34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of
Israel liveth, which hath kept? me back
from hurting thee, except thou hadst hast-
ed, and come to meet me, surely there had
not been left unto Kabal, by the morning
light, auy that pisseth against the wall.
^35 So David received of her hand that
which she had brought him, and said unto
her. Go'" up in peace to thine house: see,
I have hearkened to thy voice, and have
accepted thy person.
36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and,
behold, he held a feast* in his house, like
the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart
^oas merry" within him, for he teas very
drunken: wherefore she told him nothing,
less or more, until the morning light.
37 But it came to pass in the morning,
when the wine was gone out of Nabal,
and his wife had told him these tilings,
that his heart* died within him, and he
became as a stone.
38 And it came to pass, about ten days
after, that the Lord smote « Nabal that
he died.
39 And when David heard that JNabal
was dead, he said. Blessed "^ be the Lord,
that hath pleaded « the cause of my re-
proach from the hand of Nabal, and hath
kepts' his servant from evil : for the Lord
hath returned* the wickedness of Nabal
upon his own head. And David sent and
C9mmuned with Abigail, to take her to
him to wife.
40 And when the servants of David
were come to Abigail to Carmel, they
spake unto her, saying, David sent us
unto thee to take thee to him to wife.
41 And she arose, and bowed herself on
her face to the earth, and said, Behold,
let'^ thine handmaid be a servant to wash
the feet of the servants of my lord.
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode
ring,
or, stum-
hling.

messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel ;
and*' they Avere also both of them his wives.
44 But Saul had given Michal his
daughter, David's wife, to ^Phalti the
son of Laish, which teas of Gallim.'
. CHAPTEE, XXYI.
jfLND^" the Ziphites came unto Saul to
Gibeah, saying, Doth not David _ hide
himself in the lull of Hachilah, tvhich is
before Jeshimon ?
2 Then Saul arose, and went dovm to
the wilderness of Ziph, haviug three thou-
sand chosen men of Israel with him, to
seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Ha-
chilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the
way : but David abode in the wilderness ;
and he saw that Saul came after him
into the wilderness.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and un-
derstood that Saul was come in very deed.
5 And David arose, and came to the
place where Saul had pitched : and David
beheld the place where Saul lay, and
Abner' the son of Ner, the captain of
his host : and Saul lay in the « trench,
and the people pitched round about him.
6 Then answered David, and said to Ahi-
melech thellittite, and to Abishai'^ the son of
Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying. Who wUl
go down with me to Saul to the camp ? And
Abishai said, I avlU go do-mi with thee.
7 So David and Abishai came to the
people by night : and, behold, Saul lay
sleeping within the trench, and his spear
stuck in the ground at his bolster : but Ab-
ner and the people lay round about him.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath
^delivered thine enemy into thine hand
this day : now, therefore, let me smite
him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to
the earth at once, and I will not smite
him the second time.
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy
him not: for* who can stretch forth his
hand against the Lord's anointed, and
be guiltless ?
10 David said furthermore, As the Lord
liveth, the Lord* shall smite him ; or
his dayy shall come to die; or he shall
descend into battle, and perish.*
11 The Lord forbid" that I should
stretch forth mine hand against the
Lord's anointed : but, I pray thee, take
thou now the spear that is at his bolster,
and the cruse of water, and let us go.
12 So David took the spear and the
cruse of water from Saul's bolster ; and
they gat them away, and no man saw it,
nor knew it, neither awaked; for they
were all asleep ; because a deep sleep
from/ the Lord was fallen upon them.
13 Then David went over to the other
side, and stood on the top of an hiU afar
off; a great space bei7ig between them :
14 Ajid David cried to the people, and to
Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest
thou not, Abner ? Then Abner answered and
said. Who art thou that criest to the kiug ?
15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou
a valiant man ? and who is like to thee in
Israel ? wherefore then hast thou not kept
thy lord the king ? for there came one of
the neople in to destroy the king thy lord.
16' This thing is not good that thou hast
done. As the Lord liveth, ye are M worthy
Saul ceasea his iyersecution.
to die, because ye liave not kept your
master, the Lord's anointed. And now
see where the king's spear w, and the
cruse of water that was at his bolster.
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and
said, Is« this thy voice, my son David?
And David said, It is my voice, my lord,
O king.
18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord
thus pursue after his servant? for what
have I done ? or what evil is in mine hand ?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my
lord the king hear the words of his ser-
vant. If the LoED have stirred/ thee up
against me, let ^him accept^ an offering:
but if theij he the children of men, cursed
he they before the Lord ; for they * have
driven me out this day from ^abiding in
the inheritance ^ of the Lord, saying, Go,
serve other gods.
20 Now, therefore, let not my blood faU
to the earth before the face of the Lord :
for the king of Israel is come out to seek
a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge
in the mountains.
21 Then said Saul, I"' have sinned: return,
my son David ; for I will no more do thee
harm, because my soul was precious" in
thine eyes this day : behold, I have play-
ed the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
22 And David answered and said, Be-
hold the king's spear! and let one of the
young men come over and fetch it.
23 The Lord " render to every man his
righteousness and his faithfulness : for
the Lord delivered thee into m>/ hand to
day : but I would not stretch forth mine
hand against the Lord's anointed.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set
by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be
much set by m the eyes of the Lord, and
let him deliver ^ me out of aU tribulation.
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed he
thou, my sou David : thou shalt both do
great things, and also shalt still* prevail.
So David went on liis way, and Saul re-
turned to his place.
. CHAPTER XXVII.
-A.ND David said in his heart, I shaU
now ^perish"' one day by the hand of
Saul : there is nothing better for me than
that I should speedily escape into the land
of the Philistines ; and Saul shall despair
of me, to seek me any more in any coast
of Israel : so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 And David arose, and he passed over
with the six hundred men* that wer-e
with him unto Achish,'' the sou of Maoch,
king of Gath.
3 And David dwelt with Achish at
G;ath, he and his men, every man with
his household, even David with his two
wives,"^ Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and
Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
4 And it was told Saul that David was
fled to Gath: and he sought no more
again for him.
5 And David said unto Achish, If I
liave n9W found grace in thine eyes, let
them give me a place/ in some town m
the country, that I may dwell there : for
why should thy servant dwell in the
royal city with thee ?
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklagfi' that
day:^ wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto
the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 And the « time that David dwelt in
the country of the Philistines was '^a
full year and four months.

with me these days,** or these years, and
I have found no fault* in him since he
feU tmto me unto this day ?
4 And the princes of the Philistines were
wroth with him ; and'^ the princes of the
Philistines said unto him, Make this fel-
low return, that he may go again to his
place which thou hast appointed him, and
let him not go down with us to battle,
lest in the battle/ he be an adversary to
us : for wherewith should he reconcile
himself unto his master ? should it not he
with the heads of these men ?
5 Is not this David, of whom they * sang
one to another in dances, saying, Saul
slew his thousands, and David his ten
thousands?
6 Then Achish called David, and said
unto him. Surely, as the Loed liveth,
thou hast been upright, and * thy _ going
out and thy coming in with me in the
host is good in my sight ; for "* I have not
found evU in thee since the day of thy
coming unto me unto this day : neverthe-
less, V the lords favour thee not.
7 Wherefore now return, and go in
peace, that thou ^displease not the lords
of the Philistines.
8 And David said unto Achish, But what
have I done ? and what hast thou found in
thy servant, so long as I have been < with
thee unto this day, that I may not go fight
against the enemies of my lord the king ?
9 And Achish answered and said to
David, I know that thou art good in my
sight, as* an angel of Grod : notwithstand-
ing, the princes of the Philistines have' said,
He shall not go up with us to the battle.
10 Wherefore now rise up early in the
morning, with thy master's servants that
are come with thee : and as soon as ye be up
early in the morning, and have light, depart.
11 So David and his men rose up early
to depart in the morning, to return into
the land of the Philistines : and the Phi-
listines went ^ up to Jezreel.
. CHAPTER XXX.
ii-ND it came to pass, when David and
his men were come to Ziklag on the
third day, that the Amalekites had in-
vaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten
Ziklag, and burned it with fire ;
2 And had taken the women captives
that were therein: they slew not* any,
either great or small, but carried them
away, and went on their way.
3 So David and his men came to the
city, and, behold, it tvas^ burned with fire ;
and their wives, and their sons, and their
daughters, were taken captives.
4 Then David and the people that tvere
with liim lifted up their voice and wept,
until they had no more power to weep.
5 And David's two wives ^ were taken
captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and
Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 And David was greatly distressed ;
for* the people spake of stoning him,
because the soul of aU the people was
grieved, m every man for his sons and for
his daughters : but "^ David encouraged
himself in the Loed his God.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest,
Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring '^ me
hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought
thither the ephod to David.
8 And David inquired at the Loed, say-
ing. Shall I pursue after this troop ? shall
I overtake them ? And he answered him,
David recovers the spoil.
1 SAMUEL, XXXI.
Death of Saul and Jonathan.
Pursue : for thou shalt surely overtake
them, aud without fail recover all.
9 So David went, he and the six hun-
dred men that loere with him, and came
to the brook Besor, where those that were
left behind stayed.
10 But David pursued, he and four hun-
dred men: for two hundred" abode be-
hind, which were so faint that they could
not go over the brook Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the
field, and brought him to David, and
gave him bread, and he did eat; and
they made him drink water :
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of
figs, and two clusters of raisins ; and when
he/ had eaten, his spirit came again to
him, for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk
any water, three days and three nights.
13 And David said unto him, To whom
helongest thou ? and whence art thou ? And
he said, I am a young man of Egypt, ser-
vant to an Amalekite ; and my master left
me, because three days agone I fell sick.
14 We made an invasion upon the south of
the Cherethites,' and upon the coast which
helongeth to Judah, and upon the south of
Caleb ; ^ and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15 And David said to him. Canst thou
bring me down to this company ? And he
said, Swear unto me by Grod, that thou
wilt neither kill me, nor dehver me into
the hands of my master, and I will bring
thee down to this company.
16 And when he had brought him down,
behold, they loere spread abroad upon all
the eartb, eating *■ and drinking, and
dancing, because of all the great spoil
that they had taken out of the land of the
Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 And David smote them from the
twilight even unto the evening of ^the
next day ; and there escaped not a man
of them, save four hundred young men,
which rode upon camels, and fled.
18 And David recpvered all that the
Amalekites had carried away; and Da-
vid rescued his two wives.
19 And" there was nothing lacking to
them, neither small nor great, neither
sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor
any thing that they had taken to them:
David recovered all.*"
20 And David took all the flocks and
the herds, tohich they drave before those
other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21 And David came to the two hun-
dred* men, which were so faint that they
could not follow David, whom they had
made also to abide at the brook Besor:
and they went forth to meet David, and
to meet the people that ivere with him:
and when David came near to the people,
he ^ saluted them.
22 Then answered all the wicked men,
and men of Belial, y of ^ those that went
with David, and said, Because they went
not with us, we will not give them ought
of the spoil that we have recovered, save
to every man his wife and his children,
that they may lead them away, and depart.
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so,
my brethren, with that which the Loed
hath given us, v/ho hath preserved us, and
delivered the company that came against
us into our hand.
24 Por who will hearken unto you in this
matter? but* as his part is that goeth
down to the battle, so shall his part he that

-^ CHAPTER XXXI.
IM OW "» the Philistines fought against
Israel: and the men of Israel fled from
before the Philistines, and fell down
^ slain in mount Grilboa."
2 And the Philistines followed hard
upon Saul and upon liis sons ; and the
Phihstines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab,
and Melchi-shua, Saul's sons.^
3 And the battle « went sore against
Saul, and the Marchers ^hit him; and he
was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Then* said Saul unto his armour-
bearer. Draw thy sword, aud thrust me
through therewith, lest these uncircum-
cised* come and thrust me through, and
<« abuse me. But his armourbearer would
not ; for he was sore afraid : therefore
Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer saw
that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon
his sword, and died with him.
6 So_ Saul died," and his three sons,
and his armourbearer, and all his men,
that same day together.
7 And when the men of Israel that
toere on the other side of the valle}^ and
they that were on the other side Jordan,
saw that the men of Israel fled, and that
Saul and his sons were dead, they for-
sook the cities, and fled; and the Philis-
tines came and dwelt in them.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow,
when the Philistines came to strip the
slain, that they found Saul and his three
sons fallen in moimt Grilboa.
9 And they cut off bis head, and stripped
off his armour, and sent into the land of the
Philistines round about, to publish it in the
house of their idols, and among the people.
10 And* they put his armour in the
house of Ashtaroth ; « and they fastened
his body* to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-
gilead*? heard ''of that which the Philis-
tines had done to Said,
12 All the vaHant men arose, and went
all night, and took the body of Saul, and
the bodies of his sons, from the wall of
Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and
burnt*^ them there.
13 And they took their bones, and
buried/ them under a tree at Jabesh, and
fasted s' seven days.

_^ CHAPTER I.
JN OW it came to pass, after the death
of Saul, when David vras returned from
the slaughter* of the Amalekites, and
David had abode two days in Ziklag ;
2 It came even to pass on the third day,
that, behold, a man/ came out of the camp
from Saul, with his clothes rent, and
earth upon his head : and so it was, when
he came to David, that he fell to the
earth, and did obeisance.
3 And David said unto him, From
whence comest thou? And he said unto
Mm, Out of the camp of Israel am I
4 And David said unto him, 7 How
went the matter? I pray thee, tell me.
And he answered, That the people are
fled from the battle, and many of the
people also are fallen and dead ; and Saul
and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5 And David said unto the young man
that told him. How knowest thou that
Saul and Jonathan his son be dead ?
6 And the young man that told him
said. As I happened by chance upon
mount G-nboa, behold, Saul''^ leaned
upon his spear: and, lo, the chariots and
horsemen followed hard after him.
7 And when he looked behind him, he
saw me, and called unto me: and I an-
swered, ^Here am I.
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou ?
And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 He said unto me again. Stand, I
pray thee, upon me, and slay me; for
languish is come upon me, because my
life is yet whole in me.
10 So I stood upon him, and slew him,
because I was sure that he could not live
after that he was fallen: and I took the
crown that ivas upon his head, and the
bracelet that tvas on his arm, and have
brought them hither unto my lord.
11 Then David took hold on liis clothes,
and rent " them : and likewise all the
men that tvere with him.
12 And tJiey mourned, and wept, and
fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jona-
than his son, and for the people of the
LoED, and for the house of Israel; be-
cause they were fallen by the sword.
13 And David said unto the young
man that told liim. Whence art thou ? And
he answered, I a77i the son of a stranger,
an Amalekite.
14 And David said unto him,* How
wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine
hand to destroy the Loed's anointed ?
15 And David called one of the young
men, and said, Gro near, atid fall upon
him. And he smote him that he died.
16 And David said unto him, Thy
blood" ie upon thy head: for thy mouth
hath testified* against thee, saying, I
have slain the Loed's anointed.
17 And David lamented with this la-
mentation over Saul and over Jonathan
liis son :

ther Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou

27 How 9 are the mighty fallen, and
the weapons of war perished!
. CHAPTER II.
.A.KD it came to pass after this, that
David inquired »■ of the Loed, saying.
Shall I go up into any of the cities of
Judah? And the Loed said unto him.
Go up. And David said. Whither shall
I go up ? And he said. Unto Hebron.'
2 So David went up thither, and his two*
wives also, Aliinoam the Jezreelitess, and
Abigail, Nabal's wife, the Carmelite.
3 And his men'' that were with him
did David bring up, every rqau with his
household : and they dwelt in the cities
of Hebron.
4 ulnd the men of Judah came, and
there they anointed David king over the
house of Judah. And they told David,
saying. That the men of Jabesh-gilead «'
■were the!/ that biu-ied Saul.
5 And David sent messengers unto the
men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them,
Blessed y he ye of the Loed, that ye have
shewed this kindness unto your lord, even
unto Saul, and have bmied him.
6 And now* the Loed shew kindness
and truth unto you : and I also will re-
quite y9u this kindness, because ye have
done this thing.
7 Therefore now let your hands be
strengthened, and be ye ^ valiant : for your
master Said is dead, and also the house of
Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 But Abner<^ the son of Ner, captain of
Asaliel slain 5/y Ahner.
2 SAMUEL, III.
Abner deserts to David.
Saul's ^ host, took 7 Ish-boshetli the sou of
Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim ;
9 And made him king over Grilead,
and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel,
and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin,
and over all Israel.
10 Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was forty
years old when he began to reign over
Israel, and reigned two years. But the
house of Judah followed David.
11 And the ^time that David was king
in Hebron, « over the lioase of Judah,
was seven years and six months.
12 And Abner the son of !Ner, and the
servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul,
went out from Mahanaim'^ to Gribeon.*
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the
servants of David, went out, and met n to-
gether by the pool/ of Gribeon : 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 plays' before
us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Then there arose, and went over by
number, twelve of Benjamin, which per-
tained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and
twelve of the servants of David.
16 And they caught every one his fel-
low by the head, and thrust his sword in
liis feUow's side; so they fell down toge-
ther : wherefore that place was called
Helkath-hazzurim, <« which is in Gribeon.
17 And thei'e was a very sore battle that
day; and Abner was beaten, »» and the men
of Israel, before the servants of David.
18 And there were three ^ sons of Ze-
ruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asa-
hel : and Asahel loas as light ^ of foot as
a ^wild roe. 9
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
aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and
lay thee hold on one of the yoimg men, and
take thee his '^ armour. But Asahel would
not turn aside from following of him.
22 And Abner said again to Asahel,
Turn thee aside from following me :
wherefore should I smite thee to the
ground? how then should I hold up my
face to Joab" thy brother?
23 Howbeit, he refused to turn aside :
wherefore Abner, with the hinder end of
the spear, smote him under ^ the fifth rih,
that the spear came out behind him; and
he fell down there, and died in the same
place : and it came to pass, that as many
as came to the place where Asahel fell
down and died, stood still.
24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after
Abner: and the sun went down when
they were come to the hill of Ammah,
that lieth before Griah, by the way of the
wilderness of Gibeon.
25 And the children of Benjamin ga-
thered themselves together after Abner,
and became one troop, and stood on the
top of an hill.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and
said, Shall the sword devour "^ for ever?
knowest thou not that it will be bitter-
ness in the latter end ? * how long shall it
be then, ere thou bid the people return
Irom following their brethren ?

27 And Joab said. As God liveth. unless
thou hadst spoken," surely then ^in the
morning the people had gone «up every
one from following his brother.
28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the
people stood still, and pursued after Israel
no more, neither fought they any more.
29 And Abner and his men walked all
that night through the plain, and passed
over Jordan, and went through all Bi-
thron, and they came to Mahanaim.*
30 And Joab returned from following
Abner : and when he had gathered all the
people together, there lacked of David's
servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31 But the servants of David had smitten
of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that
three hundred and threescore men died.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried
him in the sepulchre of his father, which
ioas in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his
men went all night, and they came to
Hebron at break of dav.
T^ CHAPTER IIL
n OW there was long war between the
house of Saul and the house of David : but
David^ waxed stronger and stronger, and the
house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
2 And* unto David were sons born in
Hebron : and his firstborn was Amnon,
of Ahinoam^ the Jezreelitess ;
3 And his second, ^Chileab, of Abigail
the wife of Nabal the Carmelite ; and the
third, Absalom,' the son of Maacah the
daughter of Talmai king of Geshur ; "
4 And the fourth, Adonijah," the sou
of Haggith ; and the fifth, Shephatiah,
the son of Abital ;
5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah,
David's wife. These were born to David
in Hebron.
6 And it came to pass, while there was
war between the house of Saul and the
house of David, that Abner made him-
self strong"* for the house of Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name
was Rizpah,* the daughter of Aiah : and
Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wlierefore hast
thou gone in unto my father's concubine ?
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the
words of Ish-bosheth, and said. Am I^ a
dog's head, which against" Judah do shew
kindness this day unto the house of Saul
thy father, to his brethren, and_ to his
friends, and have not delivered thee into the
hand of David, that thou chargest me to
day with a fault concerning this woman ?
9 So"* do God to Abner, and more
also, except, as^ the Loed hath sworn to
David, even so I do to him ;
10 To translate* the kingdom from the
house of Saul, and to set up the throne
of David over Israel, and over Judah,
from" Dan even to Beer-sheba.
11 And he could not answer Abner a
word again, because he feared him.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David
on his behalf, sasdng. Whose is the land?
saying also. Make thy league with me,
and, behold, my hand shall he with thee,
to bring about aU Israel unto thee.
13 And he said, Well; I will make a
league with thee : but one thing I require
of thee, P that is. Thou * shalt not see my
face, except thou first bring MichaH Said's
daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-
bosheth/ Saul's son, saying. Deliver me
my wife Michal, which I espoused to me
Joab murders Abner.
2 SAMUEL, lY.
Isli-hosheth slain hy his servants.
went with her
her to Bahu-
for« au hundred foreskins of the Pliilis-
tines, , , ,
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her
from her husband, even from* Phaltiel,
the son of Laish.
16 And her husband
along ^ weeping behind
rim.** Then said Abner unto him, Gro,
return. And he returned.
17 And Abner had communication with
the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for
David S in times past to he king over you :
18 Now then do it : for the Lord hath
spoken/ of David, saying. By the hand of
my servant David I will save my people
Israel out of the hand of the Philistines,
and out of the hand of all their enemies.
19 And Abner also spake in the ears of
Benjamin:* and Abner went also to speak
in the ears of David in Hebron all that
seemed good to Israel, and that ^ seemed
good to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron,
and twenty men with him. And David
made Abner, and the men that tvere with
him, a feast.
21 And Abner said unto David, I will
arise and go, and' wUl gather all Israel
unto my lord the king, that they may
make a league with thee, and that thou
mayest reign over all'" that thine heart
desireth. And David sent Abner away ;
and he went in peace.
22 And, behold, the servants of David
and Joab came from pursuing^ a troop,
and brought in a great spoil with them :
(but Abner tvas not with David in Hebron ;
for he had sent him away, and he was
gone in peace.)
23 When Joab and all the host that
tvas with him were come, they told Joab,
sayingj Abner the son of Ner came to
the king, and he hath sent him away,
and he is gone in peace.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and
said. What hast thou done ? behold, Abner
came unto thee; why is it that thou hast
sent him away, and he is quite gone ?
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner,
that he came to deceive thee, and to know
thy going* out and thy coming in, and to
know" all that thou doest.
26 And when Joab was come out from
David, he sent messengers after Abner,
which brought him again from the well
of Sirah : but David knew it not.
27 And when Abner was returned to
Hebron, Joab took him aside '" in the gate
to speak with him ^quietly, and smote
him there under the fifth rib, that he died,
for the blood of Asahel* his brother.
28 And afterward w^ien David heard it,
he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless
before the Loe:) for ever from the
f^ blood of Abner the son of Ner :
29 Let it resty on the head of Joab, and
on all his father's house; and let there
not "fail from the house of Joab one that
hath an issue,** or that is a leper,* or that
leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the
sword, or that lacketh bread.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother
slew Abner, because he had slain their
brother Asahel at Gribeon in the battle.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all
the people that were with him, «Eend
your clothes, and gird/ you with sack-
cloth, and mourn before Abner. And
king David himself followed the o"bier.

32 And they buried Abner in Hebron :
and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at
the grave of Abner ; and all the people wept.
33 And the king lamented over Abner,
and said. Died Abner as a fool'^ dieth?
34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy
feet put into fetters : as a man falleth be-
fore y wicked men, so fellest thou. And
all the people wept again over him.
35 And when all the people came to
cause David to eat* meat while it was
yet day, David sware, saying. So do Grod
to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or
ought else, till^' the sun be down.
36 And all the people took notice of it,
and it 6' pleased them: as whatsoever the
king did pleased all the people.
37 For all the people and aU Israel
understood that day, that it was not of
the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
38 And the king said unto his servants.
Know ye not that there is a prince and
a great man fallen this day in Israel ?
39 And I am this day 'Jweak, though
anointed king; and these men the sons of
Zeruiah he too hard' for me: the'^ Loed
shall reward the doer of evil according
to his wickedness.
. CHAPTEE IV.
iLND when Saul's son heard that Abner
was dead in Hebron, his hands" were fee-
ble, and all the Israelites were troubled."
2 And Saul's son had two men that were
captains of bands ; the name of the one
was Baanah, and the name of the ^ other
Eechab, the sons of Eimmon a Beerothite,
of the children of Benjamin: (for Bee-
roth^ also was reckoned to Benjamin :
3 And the Beerothites fled to Grittaim,'
and were sojourners there until this day.)
4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a'" son
that was lame of his feet. He was five
years old when the tidings came of Saul
and Jonathan out of Jezreel,® and his
nurse took him up, and fled : and it came
to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he
fell, and became lame. And his name
^vas < Mephibosheth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beeroth-
ite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came
about the heat of the day to the house of
Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon :
6 And they came thither into the midst
of the house, as though they would have
fetched wheat; and they smote him un-
der" the fifth rih : and Rechab and Baa-
nah his brother escaped.
7 For when they came into the house,
he lay on his bed in his bedchamber; and
they smote him, and slew liim, and be-
headed him, and took his head, and gat
them away through the plain all night,
8 And they brouglit the head of Ish-
bosheth imto David to Hebron, and said
to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bo-
sheth, the son of Saul thine enemy, which*
sought thy life ; and the Loed hath
avenged my lord the king this day of
Saul, and of his seed.
9 And _ David answered Rechab and
Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon
the Beerothite, and said unto them, As
the Loed liveth, who* hath redeemed
my soul out of all adversity,
10 When'' one told me, saying. Behold
Saul is dead, ^ (thinking to have brought
good tidings,) I took hold of him, and slew
him in Ziklag, Pwho thought that I would
have given him a reward for his tidings ;
David king over all Israel.
2 SAMUEL, YI. The ark fetched from Xirjath-Jearim.
11 How much more, when wickecl men
have slain a righteous person in his own
house upon his bed? shall I not therefore
now require" his blood of your hand,
and take you away from the earth ?
12 And* David commanded his young
men, and they slew them, and cut oflF their
hands and their feet, and hanged them up
over the pool in Hebron. But they took
the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried if in
the sepulchre'' of Abner in Hebron.
rp CHAPTER V.
XHEN'^ came all the tribes of Israel to
David unto Hebron, and spake, saying.
Behold, we« are thy bone and thy flesh. _
2 Also in time past, when Saul was king
over us, thou/ wast he that leddest out and
broughtest in Israel : and the Loed said to
thee. Thou shalt feeds' my people Israel,
and thou shalt be a captain* over Israel.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the
king to Hebron; and king David made a
league* with them in Hebron 'before the
Loed : and they anointed David king
over Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned-' forty years.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah
seven years and six months ; and in Jeru-
salem he reigned thirty and three years
over all Israel and Judah.
6 And the king and his men went to Jeru-
salem' unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants
of the land ; which spake unto David, say-
ing. Except thou take away the blind and
the lame, thou shalt not come in_ hither :
*? thinking, David cannot come in hither.
7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold
of Zion : the same™ is the city of David.
8 And David said on that day, Whosoever
getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Je-
busites, and the lame and the blind, that are
hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and
captain. ^ Wherefore they said. The blind
and the lame shaU not come into the house.
9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called
it the city of David. And David built
round about, from Millo and inward.
10 And David went »' on, and grew great ;
and the Loed Grod of hosts tvas with him.
11 And Hiram" king of Tyre sent
messengers to David, and cedar trees,
and carpenters, and '^ masons ; and they
built David an house.
12 And David perceived that the Loed
had estabUshed him king over Israel, and
that he had exalted his kingdom for his
people Israel's sake.
13 And David took him more 9 concu-
bines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he
was come from Hebron ; and there were
yet sons and daughters born to David.
14 And these be the names of those that
were born unto him in Jerusalem ; X Sham-
muah, and Shobab,and ]S'athan,and Solomon,
15 Ibhar also, and 'AEHshua, and Ne-
pheg, and Japhia,
16 And Elishama, and PEliada, and
Eliphalet.
17 But when the Philistines heard that
they had anointed David king over Is-
rael,_ all the Philistines came up to seek
David; and David heard of it, and went
down to the hold.*
18 The* Philistines also came, and spread
themselves ii\ the valley" of Rephaim.
19 And David inquired"' of the Loed,
saymg. Shall I go up to the Philistines ?
wilt thou deliver them into mine hand?

fetch a compass behind them, and come up-
on them over against the mulberry trees.
24 And let it be, when thou hearest
the sound of a going in the tops of the
mulberry trees, that then thou shalt be-
stir thyself: for then shall the Loed go
out before thee, to smite the host of the
Philistines.
25 And David did so, as the Loed had
commanded him; and smote the Philistines
from Geba * until thou come to Gazer.
. CHAPTER VI.
j3lGAIN, David gathered together all
the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand,
2 And David arose, and went with
all the people that %oere with him from
^ Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence
the ark of God, ^ whose name is called
by the name of the Loed of hosts, that
dwelleth betioeen the cherubims.
3 And they ^set the ark of God upon
a new cart, and brought it out of the
house of Abinadab that loas in <« Gibeah :
and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abina-
dab, drave the new cart.
4 And they brought it out of the house
of Abinadab, which toas at Gibeah, m- ac-
companying the ark of God: and Ahio
went before the ark.
5 And David, and all the house of
Israel, played before the Loed on aU
manner of instruments made of fir wood,
even on harps, and on psalteries, and on
timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to" Nachon's
thresliingfloor, Uzzah put forth p his
hand to the ark of God, and took hold
of it : for the oxen P shook it.
7 And the anger of the Loed was kindled
against Uzzah, and God smote him there for
Ai* 0^ error; andtherehedied by thearkof God.
8 And David was displeased, because
the Loed had ^made a breach upon
Uzzah: and he called the name of the
place ^ Perez-uzzah to this day.
9 And David was afraid'' of the Loed
that day, and said, How shall the ark of
the Loed come to me ?
10 So David would not remove the ark
of the Loed unto him into the city of
David; but David carried it aside into
the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11 And the ark of the Loed continued
in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite
three months: and the Loed blessed
Obed-edom, and all his household.
12 And it was told king David, saying,
The Loed hath blessed the house of
Obed-edom, and aE that pertaineth unto
him, because" of the ark of God. So
David went and brought up the ark of
God from the house of Obed-edom into
the city of David with gladness.
Joy on the ArJc's restoration.
2 SAMUEL, YII.
GocVs covenant tvitli David.
13 And it was so, that when tliey that
"bare" the ark of the Lord had gone six
paces, he sacrificed oxen and fathngs.
14 And David danced^ before the
Lord with all ids might ; and David ^vas
girded * with a linen ephod.
15 So/ David and all the house of Israel
brought up the ark of theLoED with shout-
ing,'' and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 And as the ark of the Lord came into
the city of David, Michal, Saul's daugh-
ter, looked through a window, and saw
king David leaping and dancing before the
Lord ; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And ^ they brought in the ark of the
Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst
of the tabernacle that David had ^ pitched
for it: and David offered "* burnt offer-
ings and peace offerings before the Lord,
18 And as soon as David had made an
end of offering burnt offerings and_ peace
offerings, he blessed" the people in the
name of the Lord of hosts.
19 And? he dealt among all the people,
even among the whole midtitude of Israel,
as well to the women as men, to every
one a cake of bread, and a good piece of
flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the
people departed every one to his house.
20 Then David returned to bless* his
household. And Michal, the daughter
of Sauk came out to meet David, and
said, How glorious was the king of Is-
rael to day, who " imcovered himself
to day in the eyes of the handmaids of
his servants, as one of the vain fellows
^shamelessly uncovereth himself!
21 And David said unto Michal, It was
before the Lord, which w* chose me be-
fore thy father, and before aU his house,
to appoint me ruler over the people of
the Lord, over Israel; therefore will I
play before the Lord.
22 And I wdl yet be more vile than thus,
and will be base in mine own sight : and v of
the maidservants which thou hast spoken
of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23 Therefore Michal, the daughter of Saul,
had no child unto^ the day of her death.
, . CHAPTER VII.
j3lND it came to pass, when * the king sat
in his house, and the Lord had given" him
rest round about from all his enemies :
2 That the king said unto Nathan the
prophet, See now, I dwell in an house
of cedar,*' but the ark of God dweUeth
within curtains.**
3 And Nathan said to the king. Go,
do all that is in thine heart; for the
Lord is with thee.
4 And it came to pass that night, that
the word of the Lord came unto Na-
than, saying,
5 Go and tell ^my servant David,
Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou* build
me an house for me to dwell in ?
6 Whereas I have not dwelt in amy
house, since the time that I brought up
the children of Israel out of Egypt, even
to this day, but have walked in a tent
and m a tabernacle.
7 In aU the places wherein I have
walked' with all the children of Israel,
spake I a word with any of the ^tribes
of Israel, whom I commanded to"* feed
my people Israel, saying, Why build ye
not me an house of cedar ?
8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto
my servant David, Thus saith the Lord

15 Now therefore that I am come to
speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it
is because the people have made me afraid :
and thy handmaid said, I will now speak
unto the king ; it may be that the king
will ijerform the request of his handmaid,
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his
handmaid out of the hand of the man
that would destroy me and my son toge-
ther out of the inheritance of God.
17 Then thine handmaid said, The word
of my lord the king shall now be f com-
fortable : for as an angel-'' of God, so is my
lord the king to ^discern good and bad; there-
fore the Loed thy God will be with thee.
18 Then the king answered and saidunto the
woman. Hide not from me, I pray thee, the
thing that I shall ask thee. And the wo-
man said, Let my lord tlae king now speak,
19 And the king said. Is not the hand of
Joab with thee in all this ? And the woman
answered and said. As thy soul Hveth, my
lord the king, none can turn to the right
hand or to the left from ought that my
lord the king hath spoken : for thy servant
Joab, he bade me, and he* put all these
words in the mouth of thine handmaid :
20 To fetch about this form of speech
hath thy servant Joab done this thing :
and my lord is wise, according to the
wisdom of an angel of God, to know all
things that are in the earth,
21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold
now, I have done this thing : go therefore,
bring the young man Absalom again.
22 And Joab fell to the ground on his
face, and bowed himself, and y- thanked the
king : and Joab said. To day thy servant
knoweth that I have found grace in thy
sight, my lord, O king, in that the king
hath fulfilled the request of '^ his servant.
23 So Joab arose, and went to Geshur,"
and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
24 And the king said, Let him turn to
his own house, and let him not see my
face,^ So Absalom returned to his own
house, and saw not the king's face.
25 But o-in all Israel there was none
to be so much praised as Absalom for
his beauty : from « the sole of his foot
even to the crown of his head there was
no blemish in him,
26 And when he polled his head, (for
it was at every year's end that he polled
it; because the hair was heavy on him,
therefore he polled it,) he weighed the
hair of his head at two hundred shekels
after the king's weight,
27 And * unto Absalom there were
born three sons, and one daughter, whose
name was Tamar : she was a woman of
a fair countenance.
28 So Absalom dwelt two full years in
Jerusalem, and saw not ^ the king's face.
29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to
have sent him to the king ; but he would
not come to him : and when he sent again
the second time, he would not come.
30 Therefore he said unto his servants.
See, Joab's field is near ^ mine, and he hath
barley there; go and set it on fire.* And
Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom
unto his house, and said unto him, Where-
fore have thy servants set my field on fire ?
32 And Absalom answered Joab, Be-
Absalon^s rehelUon.
2 SAMUEL, XV.
David's Jlight,
hold, I sent unto thee, saying. Come
hither, that I may send thee to the kmg,
to sav, Wherefore am I come from Gre-
shur? it had been good for me to have
been there still: now therefore let me
see the khig's face; and if there be ani/
iniquity in me, let him kill me. , ^ , ,
33 So Joab came to the kmg, and told
him: and when he had called for Absa-
lom, he came to the king, and bowed
himself on his face to the ground before
the king : and the king '^ kissed Absalom.
. CHAPTER XV.
A.ND'' it came to pass after this, that
Absalom prepared/ him chariots and
horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood
beside the way of the gate : and it was so,
that when any man that had a contro-
versy 7 came to the king for judgment,
then Absalom called unto him, and said.
Of what city art thou? And he said. Thy
servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
3 And Absalom said unto him. See, thy
matters are good and right ; but ^ there is
no man deputed of the king^ to hear thee.
4 Absalom said moreover. Oh* that I
were made judge in the land, that every
man which hath any suit or cause might
come unto me, and I would do him justice !
5 And it was so, that when any man came
nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put
forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6 And on this manner did Absalom to
all Israel that came to the king for judg-
ment. So" Absalom stole the hearts of
the men of Israel.
7 And it came to pass after forty years,
that Absalom said unto the king, I pray
thee, let me go and pay^ my vow,? which
I have vowed unto the Loed, in Hebron.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I
abode at Geshur* in Syria, saying. If the
Lord shall bring me again indeed to Je-
rusalem, then I will serve the Lord.
9 And the king said unto him, Gro in
peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout
all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as
ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye
shall say, Absalom reigneth'" in Hebron.
11 And with Absalom went two hun-
dred men out of Jerusalem, that were
called; and they went in their simpli-
city,* and they knew not any thing.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel
the Gilonite, David's counsellor, y from
his city, even from Griloh," while he of-
fered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was
strong ; for the people "* ^increased conti-
nually with Absalom.
13 And there came a messenger to
David, saying, The^' hearts of the men
of Israel are after Absalom.
14 And David said unto aU his servants
that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise,
and let us flee;* for we shall not else
escape from Absalom: make speed to
depart, lest he overtake us suddenly,
and ^ bring evil upon us, and smite the
city with the edge of the sword.
15 And the king's servants said unto the
kmg, Behold, thy servants are ready to do
whatsoever my lord the king shall <« appoint.
16 And the king went forth, and all his
household ^ after him: and the king left
ten women, which were concubines,^ to
keep the house.
17 And the king went forth, and all

the people after him, and tarried in a
place that was far off.
18 And all his servants passed on beside
him ; and all the Cherethites, « and all the
Pelethites, and all the Grittites, six hun-
dred men which came after him from
Grath, passed on before the king.
. 19 Then said the king to Ittai* the Git-
tite, Wherefore goest thou also with us?
return to thy place, and abide with the king ;
for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
20 Whereas thou earnest but yesterday,
should I this day make thee ^go up and
do
with
Seeing I go« whither I
may, retvirn thou, and take back thy bre-
thren : mercy and truth be with thee.
21 And Ittai answered the king, and
said, s As the Lord liveth, and as my lord
the king liveth, surely in what place my
lord the king shall be, whether in death or
life, even there also will thy servant be.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go, and
pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed
over, and all his men, and all the little
ones that ivere with him.
23 And aU the country wept' with a
loud voice, and all the people passed over :
the king also liimself passed over the
^ brook Kidron, and all the people passed
over, toward the way of the wilderness. '
24 And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites
loere with him, bearing »' the ark of the co-
venant of God : and they set down the ark
of God ; and Abiathar went up, until all the
people had done passing out of the city.
25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry-
back the ark of God into the city: if I
shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord,
he" will bring me again, and shew me
both it, and his habitation :
26 But if he thus say, I have no delight
in*" thee; behold, here am I, let* him do
to me as seemeth good unto him.
27 The king said also unto Zadok the
priest. Art not thou a seer ? « return into
the city in peace, and your two sons with
you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the
son of Abiathar.
28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the
wilderness,*' until there come word from
you to certify me.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar car-
ried the ark of God again to Jerusalem ;
and they tarried there.
30 And David went up by the ascent of
mou7if Olivet, ^and wept as he went up,
and had his head* covered; and he went
barefoot : * and all the people that ^oas with
him covered <^ every man his head, and
they went up, weeping « as they went up.
31 And one told David, saying, Ahitho-
phel/ is among the conspii-ators with
Absalom. And David said, O Lord, I
pray thee, turn'^ the counsel of Ahitho-
phel into foolishness. »
32 And it came to pass, that when David
was come to the top of the mount, where
he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the
Archite' came to meet him, with"* his
coat rent, and earth upon his head :
33 Unto whom David said. If thou
passest on with me, then thou shalt be a
burden " unto me :
34 But if thou return to the city, and
say unto Absalom, I" wUl be thy ser-
vant, O king; as I have been thy father's
servant hitherto, so zvill 1 now also be thy
servant: then mayest thou for me' de-
feat the counsel of Ahithophel.
Cheated by Ziha : cursed hy ShimeL 2 SAMUEL, XVII. AhithopIieVs and HusJmVs counsel.
35 And hast thou not there with thee
Zadok and Abiathar the priests ? therefore
it shall be, that what thing soever thou
shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt
tell if^ to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Behold, they have there* with them
their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son,
and Jonathan, Abiathai*'s son; and by
them ye shall send unto me every thing
that ye can hear.
37 So*^ Hushai, David's friend, « came
into the city, and Absalom came into
Jerusalem.
. CHAPTER XYI.
iLND when David was a little past the
top of the hill,!' behold, Ziba* the servant
of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple
of asses saddled, and upon them* two
hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred
bunches of raisins, and an hundred of
summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2 And the king said imto Ziba, "What
meanest thou by these ? And Ziba said. The
asses be for the king's household to ride on;
and the bread and summer fruit for the
young men to eat ; and the wine, that' such
as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 And the king said. And where is thy
master's son ? And Ziba said " unto the
king. Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem :
for he said, To day shall the house of Israel
restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold,
thine are all that pertained unto Mephi-
bosheth. And Ziba said, I 7 humbly
beseech thee that I may find grace in
thy sight, my lord, O king,
5 And when king David came to Ba-
hurim, behold, thence came out a man of
the family of the house of Saul, whose
name toas Shimei,^ the son of Gera : he
came ^forth, and cursed'' still as he came.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at
all the servants of king David : and all
the people and all the mighty men were
on his right hand and on his left.
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed,
Come out, come out, thou i bloody man,
and thou man of BeUal :
8 The Lord hath returned upon thee
all the blood" of the house of Saul, in
whose stead thou hast reigned; and the
Lord hath delivered the kingdom into
the hand of Absalom thy son : and be-
hold, -^thou art taken in thy mischief,
because thou art a bloody man.
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah
unto the king. Why should this dead dog"
curse"' my lord the king? let me go over,
I pray thee, and take off his head.
10 And the king said. What * have I to
do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? So let
him curse, because the LoKoy hath said
unto him. Curse David. Who* shall then
say. Wherefore hast thou done so?
11 And David said to Abishai, and to
all his servants, Behold, my son, which
came* forth of my bowels, seeketh my
life: how much more now may this Ben-
jamite do it ? Let him alone, and let him
curse ; for the Lord hath bidden him.
12 It'' may be that the Lord will look on
mine <^ affliction, and that the Lord will
requite me good'' for his cursing this day.
13 And as David and his men went by the
way, Shimei went along on the hill's side
over against him, and cursed as he went,
and threw stones at him, and t cast dust.
14 And the king, and all the people that

young man Absalom safe? And Cushi
answered, The enemies" of my lord the
king, and aU that rise against thee to do
thee hurt, be as that young man is.
33 And the king was much moved, and
went up to the chamber over the gate,
and wept; and as he went, thus he said,
O* my son Absalom! my son, my son
Absalom! would God" I had died for
thee, O Absalom, my son, my son !
1 CHAPTER XIX.
-A-ND it was told Joab^ Behold, the king
weepeth and mourneth* lor Absalom.
2 And the ^ victory that day was turned
into mourning unto all the people : for
the people heard say that day how the
king was grieved for his son.
3 And the people gat them by stealth that
day into the city, as people being ashamed
steal away when they flee in battle.
4 But the king covered' his face, and the
king cried with a loud voice,* O my son
Absalom ! O Absalom, my son, my son !
5 And Joab came into the house to the
king, and said. Thou hast shamed this day
the faces of all thy servants, wliich this
day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy
sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of
thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines ;
6 ^In that thou lovest thine enemies,
and hatest thy friends : for thou hast de-
clared this day, that «thou regardest
neither princes nor servants : for this
day I perceive, that if Absalom had
lived, and all we had died this day, then
it had pleased thee well.
7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and
speak " comfortably unto thy servants :
for I swear by the Loed, if thou go not
forth, \ there will not tarry one with thee
this night : and that will be worse unto
thee than all the evil that befell thee from
thy youth until now.
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the
gate. And they told unto all the people,
saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate.
And aU the people came before the king;
for " Israel had fled every man to his tent.
9 And all the people were at strife
throughout aU the tribes of Israel, saying.
The king saved us out of the hand of our
enemies, and he delivered us out of the
hand oi the Philistines ; and now he is
fledP out of the land for Absalom.
10 And Absalom, whom we anointed
over us, is dead in battle. Now, there-
fore, why P speak ye not a word of bring-
ing the king back ?
11 And king David sent to Zadok and
to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak
unto the elders of 0 udah, saying. Why are
ye the last to bring the king back to his
house? seeing the speech of all Israel is
come to the king, even to his house.
12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my* bones
and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the
last to bring back the king ?
13 And say ye to Amasa,* Art thou not
of my bone, and of my flesh ? God do so
to me, and more also, if thou be not cap-
tain of the host before me continually, in
the room of Joab.
14 And he bowed the heart of aU the
men of Judah, even« as the heart of one
man ; so that they sent this word unto the
king. Return thou, and all thy servants.
1 5 So the king returned, and came to Jordan.
And Judah came to Gilgal,y to go to meet
the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
16
Shimei pardoned.
2 SAMUEL, XX.
Skeha^s rebellion.
16 And Sliimei" the son of Gera, a Ben-
jamite, which teas of Bahurim, hasted,
and came down with the men of Judah
to meet king David.
17 And there were a thousand men of
Benjamin with him, and Ziba*^ the servant
of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons
and his twenty servants with him; and
they went over Jordan before the king.
18 And there went over a ferry boat to
carry over the king's household, and to
do ywhat ho thought good. And Shimei
the son of Gera fell down before the king,
as he was come over Jordan ;
19 And said unto the king, Let «' not
my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither
do thou remember" that which thy ser-
vant did« perversely the day that my lord
the king went out of Jerusalem, that the
king should take* it to his heart.
20 For thy servant doth know that I have
sinned : therefore, behold, I am come the
first this day of all the house of Joseph,
to go down to meet my lord the king.
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah an-
swered and said, Shall not Shimei be put
to death for this, because he cursed' the
Lord's anointed ?
22 And David said. What have I to do
with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye
should this day be adversaries unto me?
Shall" there any man be put to death
this day in Israel ? for do not I know
that I am this day king over Israel ?
23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei,
Thou" shalt not die. And the king sware
unto him.
24 And Mephibosheth ^ the son of Saul
came down to meet the king, and had
neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his
beard, nor washed his clothes, from the
day the king departed until the day he
came again in peace.
25 And it came to pass, when he was
come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that
the king said unto him. Wherefore* went-
est not thou with me, Mephibosheth ?
26 And he answered. My lord, O king,
my servant deceived me ; for thy servant
said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may
ride thereon, and go to the king ; because
thy servant is lame.
27 And he' hath slandered thy servant
unto my lord the king; but my lord the
king is as an angel" of God : do, there-
fore, ^ohat is good in thine eyes.
28 For all of my father's house were but
dead ^men before my lord the king: yet
didst thou set*" thy servant among them
that did eat at thine own table. What
right, therefore, have I yet to cry any
more unto the king ?
29 And the king said unto him. Why
speakest thou any more of thy matters ? I
have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
30 And Mephibosheth said unto the
king. Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as
my lord the king is come again in peace
unto his own house.
31 And Barzillai« the Gileadite came
down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan
with the king, to conduct him over Jordan,
32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man,
eue?z fourscore years old: and<^he had pro-
vided the king of sustenance while he lay
at Mahanaim ; for^ he tvas a very great man.
33 And the king said unto Barzillai,
Come thou oyer with me, and I will feed
thee with me in Jerusalem.

34 And BarziUai said unto the king,
How ^long have I to hve, that I shoidd
go up with the king unto Jerusalem ?
35 I am this day fourscore* years old:
and can I discern'^ between good and evil?
can" thy servant taste what I eat or what
I drink ? can I hear any more the voice of
singing men and singing women? where-
fore then should thy servant be yet a
burden unto my lord the king ?
36 Thy servant will go a little way over
Jordan with the king : and why should
the king recompense it me with such a
reward ?/
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn
back again, that I may die in mine own
city, and he buried by the grave of my
father and of my mother : but behold
thy servant Chimham,-' let him go over
with my lord the king; and do to him
what shaU. seem g9od unto thee.
38 And the king answered, Chimham
shall go over with me, and I will do to
him that which shall seem good unto thee ;
and whatsoever thou shalt ^ require of
me, that will I do for thee.
39 And all the people went over Jordan.
And when the kmg was come over, the
king kissed"* BarziUai, and blessed him;
and he returned unto his own place.
40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and
fCliimham went on with him: and all
the people of Judah conducted the king,
and also half the people of Israel.
41 And. behold, all the men of Israel
came to tne king, and said unto the king,
Why have our brethren, the men of Ju-
dah, stolen thee away, and have? brought
the king and his household, and all Da-
vid's men with him, over Jordan ?
42 And aU the men of Judah answered
the men of Israel, Because the king is
near of kin"* to us : wherefore then be ye
angry for this matter? have we eaten at
all of the king's costl or hath he given
us any gift ?
43 And the men of Israel answered the
men of Judah, and said. We have ten parts
in the king, and we have also more right
in David than ye : why then did ye ^ de-
spise us, that our advice should not be
first had in bringing back our king ? And
the words of the men of Judah were" fiercer
than the words of the men of Israel.
CHAPTER XX.
there happened to be there a man
of Belial, whose name tvas Sheba, the
son of Bichi'i, a Benjamite; and he blew
a trumpet, and said, We have no part*
in David, neither have we inheritance in
the son of Jesse : every man to his tents,
0 Israel.
2 So 2' every man of Israel went up from
after David, and followed Sheba the sou
of Bichri : but the men of Judah* clave
unto their king, from Jordan even to Je-
rusalem.
3 And David came to his house at Jeru-
salem ; and the king took the ten women
his concubines,* whom he had left to
keep the house, and put them in '^ward,*
and fed them, but went not in unto them.
So they were ^ shut up unto the day- of
their death, m- living in widowhood.
4 Then said the king to Amasa, "As-
semble me the men of Judah within three
days, and be thou here present.
5 So Amasa went-' to assemble the me7i
of Judah : but he tarried longer than the
And

set time which he had appointed him.
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall
Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm
than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's
servants,* and pursue after him, lest he
get him fenced cities, and 7 escape us.
7 And there went out after him Joab's
men, and the Cherethites,'' and the Pele-
thites, and aU the mighty men: and they
went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
8 When they we7'e at the great stone
which is in Gribeon, Amasa went before
them. And Joab's garment that he had
put on was girded unto him, and upon
it a girdle toith a sword fastened upon
his loins in the sheath thereof j and as he
went forth it fell out.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in
health, my brother ? And Joab took Amasa
by the beard with the right hand to kiss*' him.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword
that toas in Joab's hand : so he ^ smote
him therewith in' the fifth rib, and shed
out his bowels to the ground, and ^ struck
him not again ; and he died. So Joab and
Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba
the son of Bichri.
11 And one of Joab's men stood by him,
and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he
that is for David, let him go after Joab.
12 Ajid Amasa waDowed in blood in
the midst of the highway. And when
the man saw that all the people stood
stiU, he removed Amasa out of the high-
way into the field, and cast a cloth upon
him, when he saw that every one that
came by him stood stiU.
13 When he was removed out of the
highway, all the people went on after Joab,
to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
14 And he went through aU the tribes of
Israel unto Abel," and to Beth-maachah,
and aU the Berites ; and they were ga-
thered together, and went also after him.
15 And they came and besieged him in
Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a
bank"" against the city, and it stood " in the
trench : and all the people that toere with
Joab ^ battered the wall, to tlirow it down.
^ 16 Then cried a wise woman out of the
city. Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto
Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak
with thee.
17 And when he was come near unto
her, the woman said. Art thou Joab ? And
he answered, I am he. Then she said
unto him. Hear the words of thine hand-
maid. And he answered, I do hear.
18 Then she spake, saying, "^They were
wont to speak in old time, saying, Thej''
shall surely ask counsel at Abel : and so
they ended the matter.
19 I am one of them that are peaceable
and faithful in Israel : thou seekest to de-
stroy a city and a mother" in Israel : why
wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of
the Lord?
20 And Joab answered and said, !Far
be it, far be it from me, that I should
swallow up or destroy.
21 The matter is not so : but a man of
mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri
by X name, hath lifted up his hand against
the king even against David : deliver him
only, and I will depart from the city. And
the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his
head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

rp CHAPTER XXI.
XHEN there was a famine in the days
of David three years, year after year ;
and David ^inquired of the Lord. And
the Lord answered. It is for Saul, and
for his bloody house, because he slew the
Gibeonites.*
2 And the king called the Gibeonites,
and said unto them : (now the Gibeonites
were' not of the children of Israel, but of
the remnant of the Amorites ; and the
children of Israel had sworn unto them :
and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal
to the children of Israel and Judah ;)
3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeon-
ites, What shall I do for you ? and where-
with shall I make the atonement, that ye
may bless the inheritance" of the Lord ?
4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, « We
will have no silver'' nor gold of Saul, nor
of his house ; neither for us shalt thou kiU
any man in Israel. And he said, What ye
shall say, that will I do for you.
5 And they answered the king. The man
that consumed us, and that ^ devised against
us that we should be destroyed from re-
maining in any of the coasts of Israel,
6 Let seven men of his sons^ be deli-
vered xmto us, and we will hang them
up unto the Lord in Gibeah? of Saul,
i^whom the Lord did choose. And the
king said, I will give them.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth,
the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, be-
cause of the Lord's oath* that ivas be-
tween them, between David and Jona-
than the son of Saul.
8 But the king took the two sons of Riz-
pah* the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare
unto Saul, Aj-moni and Mephibosheth ;
and the five sons of ? Michal the daughter
of Saul, whom she »■ brought up for Adriel
the son of Barzillai the Meholathite ;
9 And he deUvered them into the hands
of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them
in the hiQ before" the Lord : and they fell
all seven together, and were put to death
in the days of harvest, in the first days^
in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah
took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon
the rock, from the beginning of harvest
until water dropped upon them out of
heaven, and suffered neither the birds of
the air to rest on them by day, nor the
beasts of the field by night.
11 And it was told David what Rizpah
the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of
Saul, had done.
12 And David went and took the bones
of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son
from the men of'" Jabesh-gilead, wliich
The giants iuhdiied.
had stolen tliem from the street of Beth-
ehan, where the Philistines had hanged
them, when the Philistines had slam Saul
in Giiboa : ^ . , . i
13 And he brought up from thence the
bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathari
his son ; and tliey gathered the bones of
them that were hanged. -, -r ,-,
14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan
his son buried they in the country of Ben-
jamin in Zelah,« in the sepulchre of Kish
his father, and they performed all that the
king commanded: and after that, God
was entreated* for the land.
15 Moreover, the Phihstiues had yet
war again with Israel ; and David went
down, and his servants with him, and
fought against the Philistines: and Da-
vid waxed faint.
16 And Ishbi-benob, wliich tvas of the
sons of ^the giant, the weight of 'J whose
spear iveighed three hundred shekels of
brass in weight, he, being girded with a
new sivord, thought to have slain David :
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah suc-
coured him, and smote the Philistine,
and killed him. Then the men of David
sware unto him, saying. Thou' shalt go
no more out with us to battle, that thou
quench not the ^hght" of Israel.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there
was again a battle with the Philistines at
Gob : then Sibbechai'' the Hushathite slew
< Saph, which was of the sons of ^ the giant.
19 And there was again a battle in Gob
with the PhiHstines, where Elhanan the son
of f* Jaare-oregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew
the brother of GoHatli the Gittite, the staff
of whose spear tuas like a weaver's beam.
20 And there was yet a battle in Gath,
where was a man of great stature, that had
on every hand six fingers, and on every
foot six toes, four and twenty in number;
and he also was born to P the giant.
21 And when he o" defied Israel, Jona-
than, the son of Shimeah," the brother
of David, slew him.
22 These four were born to the giant
in Gath, and fell by the hand of David,
and by the hand of liis servants.
. CHAPTEE XXII.
^ND David spake unto the Loedv the
words of this song,* in the day that the Loed
had dehyered him out of the hand of all
his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul :
2 And he said. The Loed is my rock,°
and my fortress, ° and my deliverer:
3 The God of my rock ; in him will I
trust : Ae is my shield,*' and the horn*' of my
salvation, my high tower, « and my refuge,/
my saviour ; thou savest me from violence.
4 I will call on the Loed, who is worthy
to be praised : bo shall I be saved from
mine enemies.
5 When the V waves of death compassed
me, the floods of ^ ungodly men made me
afraid ;
6 The 1? sorrows of heU compassed me
about ; the snares of death prevented me ;
7 In my distress* I called upon the
Loed, and cried to my God; and he
did hear' my voice put of his temple,
and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth* shook and trembled;
the foundations of heaven' moved and
shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke ^out of his
nostrils, and fire out"* of his mouth de-
voured: coals vv^ere kindled by it.

10 He bowed'' the heavens also, and came
dovm ; and darkness* loas under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub,'' _ and
did fly: and he was seen upon the wings''
of the wind.
12 And he made darkness pavflions
round about him, ^ dark waters, and
thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness before him
were coals of fire kindled.
14 The Loed thundered/ from heaven,
and the Most High uttered his voice.
] 5 And he sent out arrows,^' and scattered
them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 And the channels of the sea* appeared,
the foundations of the world were dis-
covered, at the rebuking of the Loed, at
the blast of the breath of his 7 nostrils.
17 He sent from above, he took me ;
he drew me out of ^many waters;*
18 He delivered me from my strong
enemy, and from them that hated me :
for they were too strong for me.
19 They prevented me in the day of my
calamity : but the Loed was my staj'.
20 He brought me forth also into a
large place ; he dehvered me, because he
delighted'" in me.
21 The Loed rewarded me according'* to
my righteousness : according to the^ clean-
ness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept' the ways of the
Loed, and have not wickedly departed
from my God.
23 For* all his judgments loere before
me : and as for his statutes, I did not de-
part from them.
24 I was also upright "before him, and
have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Therefore the Loed hath recompensed
me according to my righteousness ; ac-
cording to my cleanness in '^ his eye sight.
26 With the merciful' thou wilt sheAV
thyself merciful, and with the upright
man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thy-
self pure; and with the froward" thou
wilt "»■ shew thyself unsavoury.
28 And the afilicted people thou wilt
save: but thine eyes are upon the haugh-
ty,* that thou mayest bring them down.
29 For thou art my ^ lamp, O Loed ;
and the Loed will lighten my darkness.
30 For by thee I have X run through a
troop : by my God have I leaped over a
wall.
31 As for God, his way is perfect ; _ the
word of the Loed is y tried: he is a
buckler to aU them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the Loed ?
and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power : and
he k maketh my way perfect.
34 He ^ maketh my feet/' like hinds' feet,
and setteth me upon my high places.
35 He teacheth my hands ^to war; so that
a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield
of thy salvation : and thy gentleness hath
^ made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps imder
me ; so that my " feet did not sUp.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and
destroyed them: and turned not again
until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and
wounded them, that they could not arise :
yea, they are fallen" under my feet.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength
David's last words.
2 SAMUEL, XXIII.
Davids mighty
to battle: them" that rose up against me
hast thou ^ subdued under me.
41 Thou hast also given me the* necks
of mine enemies, that I might destroy
them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there tuas none to
save; even unto the LoED, but'' he an-
swered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as smaU as
the dust<^ of the earth, I did stamp them
as the mire^ of the street, and did spread
them abroad.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from
the strivings/ of my people, thou hast
kept me to be head of the heathen -.s a peo-
ple which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Strangers fshaU ^submit themselves
unto me : as soon as they hear, they shall
be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they
shall be afraid out of their close' places.
47 The LoED liveth; and blessed he
my rock ; and exalted be the Grod of the
rock of my salvation.
48 It is God that ^ avengeth me, and that
bringeth down the people under me,
49 And that brmgeth me forth from
mine enemies : thou also hast lifted me up
on high above them that rose up against
me: thou hast delivered* me from the
violent man.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto
thee, O LoED, among the heathen, and I
wiU sing praises unto thy name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his
king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed,
unto David, and to his seed for evermore.'
-,-r CHAPTER XXIII.
JM OW these be the last words of David.
David the son of Jesse said, and the man
loho was raised"* up on high, the anointed
of the Grod of Jacob, and the sweet psalm-
ist" of Israel, said,
2 The Spirit" of the Loed spake by
me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of
Israel spake to me, MHe that riileth over
men must be just,^ ruling in the fear? of
God:
4 And he shall be as the lighf of the
morning, tohen the sun riseth, even a
moi-ning without clouds; as the tender
grass springing out of the earth by clear
shining after rain.*
5 Although my house be not so with God ;
yet he hath made with me an* everlasting
covenant, ordered in all things^ and sure:
ioT this is aU my salvation, and all my
desire," although he make it not to grow.
6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of
them as thorns thrust away, because they
cannot be taken with hands :
7 But the man that shall touch them
must be ^ fenced with iron, and the staff
of a spear; and they shall be utterly
burned with fire"" in the same place.
8 These be the names of the mighty
men whom David had : <^ The Tachmonite
that sat in the seat, chief among the cap-
tains ; the same tvas Adino the Eznite :
he lift up his spear against eight hundred,
whom X he slew at one time.
9 And after him was Eleazar the son
of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three
mighty men with David, when they de-
fied the Philistines that were there ga-
thered together to battle, and the men
of Israel were gone away :

choose" thee one of them, that I may do

13 So Gad came to David, and told him,
and said unto him, ShaU seven* years of
famine come unto thee in thy land? or
wilt thou flee three months before thine
enemies, while they pursue thee ? or that
there be three days' pestilence in thy
land? Now advise, and see what answer
I shaU return to him that sent me.
14 And David said unto Gad, I am in
a great strait: let us fall now into the
hand of the Lord, for his mercies are
^ great, "^ and let me not fall into"^ the
hand of man.
15 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon
Israel, from the morning even to the time
appointed: and there dSed of the people,
from Dan even to Beer-sheba, seventy
thousand men.
16 And when the angel* stretched out
his hand upon Jerusalem, to destroy it,
the Lord repented-' him of the evil, and
said to the angel that destroyed the peo-
ple. It is enough;* stay now thine hand.
And the angel of the Lord was by the
threshingplace of Araunah' the Jebusite.
17 And David spake unto the Lord,
when he saw the angel that smote the
people, and said, Lq, I have" sinned,
and I have done wickedly: but these
sheep,*' what have they done? Let thine
hand, I pray thee, be against me, and
against my father's house.
18 And Gad came that day to David,
and said unto him. Go up, rear an altar
imto the Lord in the threshingfloor of
f Araunah the Jebusite.
19 And David, according to the saying
of Gad, went up, as the Lord commanaed.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the
king and his servants coming on toward
him: and Araunah went out, and bowed
himself before the king on liis face upon
the ground.
21 And Araunah said. Wherefore is
my lord the king come to his servant?
And David said. To buy* the threshing-
floor of thee, to buHd an altar unto the
Lord, that the plague may be stayed"
from the people.
22 And Araunah said unto David, Let
my lord the king take and ofier up what
seemeth good unto him : behold, here he
oxen* for burnt sacrifice, and thi'eshing
instruments and other instruments of the
oxen for wood.
23 All these things did Araunah, as a
king,"* give unto the king : and Araunah
said unto the king, The Lord thy God
accept* thee.
24 And the king said unto Araunah,
Nay ; but I wiU surely buy it of thee at a
price: neither will I ofier burnt offerings
unto the Lord my God of that which
doth cost me nothing. So David bought
the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty
shekels of silver.
25 And David built there an altar unto
the Lord, and ofiered burnt offerings
and peace offerings. So the Lord was
entreated'* for the land, and the plague
was stayed from Israel.
The Pirst Book of tlie KINGS, commonly called
The Third Book of the KINGS.
^T. CHAPTER I.
JN 0"W king David was old and ^stricken
in years ; and they covered liim with
clothes, but he gat no heat.
2 Wherefore his servants said unto him,
Let V there be sought for my lord the
king ^ a young virgin ; and let her stand
before the king, and let her ^cherish him,
and let her He in thy bosom, that my
lord the king may get heat.
3 So they sought for a fair damsel
throughout all the coasts of Israel, and
found Abishag a Shunammite, and
brought her to the king.
4 And the damsel toas very fair, and
cherished the king, and ministered to
him : but the king knew her not.
5 Then Adonijah'' the son of Haggith
exalted himself, •* saying, I will ^be king:
and^ he prepared him chariots and horse-
men, and fifty men to run before him.
6 And his father had not displeased him at
" any time in saying, Why hast thou done
so? and he also loas a very goodly man;
and his mother bare him after Absalom.
7 And ^he conferred with Joab/ the
son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathars" the
Eriest: and they, M- following Adonijah,
elped him.
8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the
son of Jehotada, and Nathan the prophet,
and Shimei,* and Rei, and the mighty
men* which belonged to David, were not
with Adonijah.
9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen
and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth,
which is by "En-rogel, and called all his
brethren the king's sons, and all the men
of Judah the king's servants :
10 But Nathan J™ the prophet, and Be-
naiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon
his brother, he called not.
11 Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bath-
sheba the mother of Solomon, saying,
Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the
son of Haggith doth reign, and David
our lord knoweth it not ?
12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray
thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest
save thine own life, and the life of thy
son Solomon.
13 Go and get thee in unto king David,
and say unto him. Didst not thou, my
lord, O king, swear^ unto thine handmaid,
saying. Assuredly^ Solomon thy son shall
reign after me, and he shall sit upon my
throne ? why then doth Adonijah reign ?
14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there
with the king, I also will come in after
thee, and <^ confirm thy words.
15 And Bath-sheba went in unto the
king into the chamber : and the king was
very old ; and Abishag the Shunammite
ministered unto the king.
16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did
obeisance unto the king. And the king
said, T What wouldest thou ?

thine handmaid, sayinci., Assuredly, So-
lomon thy son shall reign after me, and
he shall sit upon my throne :
18 And now, behold, Adonijah reign-
eth; and now, my lord the king, thou
knowest it not :
19 And" he hath slain oxen and fat cattle
and sheep in abundance, and hath called
all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the
priest, and Joab the captain of the host : but
Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes
of all Israel are upon thee, that thou
shouldest tell them who shall sit on the
throne of my lord the king after him.
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when
my lord the king shall sleep* with his
fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall
be counted ^7 ofienders.
22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the
king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
23 And they told the king, saying. Be-
hold Nathan the prophet. And when he
was come in before the king, he bowed
himself before the king with his face to
the ground.
24 And Nathan said. My lord, O king,
hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after
me, and he shall sit upon my throne ?
25 For* he is gone down this day, and
hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep
in abundance, and hath called all the
king's sons, and the captains of the host,
and Abiathar the priest : and, behold,
they eat and drink before him, and say,
'^ God save' king Adonijah.
26 But me, even me thy servant, and
Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath
he not called.
27 Is this thing done by my lord the
king, and thou hast not shewed it unto
thy servant, who should sit on the throne
of my lord the king after him ?
28 Then king David answered and said.
Call me Bath-sheba. And she came P into
the king's presence, and stood before the king.
29 And the king sware, and said," As
the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my
soul out of aU distress,
30 Even as I sware <» unto thee by the
Loed God of Israel, saying. Assuredly
Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and
he shall sit upon my throne in my stead;
even so will I certainly do this day.
31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her
face to the eartL, and did reverence to
the king, and said, Lef my lord king
David live for ever.
32 And king David said. Call me Zadok
the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they
came before the king.
33 The king also said unto them. Take
with you the servants* of your lord, and
cause Solomon my son to ride ^ upon mine
own mule, and bring him down to Gihon :*
34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan
the prophet anoint" him there king over
Solomon proclaimed.

36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada
answered the king, and said, Amen:*^ the
LoRD« God of my lord the king say so too.
37 As/ the Lord hath been with my
lord the king, even so be he with Solomon,
and make his throne greater* than the
throne of my lord king David.
38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the
prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,
and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites,
went down, and caused Solomon to ride
upon king David's mule, and brought him
to Gihon.
39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of
oil" out of the tabernacle, and" anointed
Solomon. And they blew the trumpet •,p and
all the people said, Grod save king Solomon.
40 And all the people came up after
him; and the people piped with 7 pipes,
and rejoiced with great joy, so that the
earth rent with the sound of them.
41 And Adonijah and all the guests that
toere with him heard it as they had made an
end of eating.' And when Joab heard the
sound of the trumpet, he said. Wherefore is
this noise of the city being in an uproar ?
42 And while he yet spake, behold,
Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest
came -, and Adonijah said unto him, Come
in; for* thou art a valiant man, and
bringest good tidings.
43 And Jonathan answered and said
to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David
hath made Solomon king.
44 And the king hath sent with him Za-
dok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Che-
rethites, and the Pelethites, and they have
caused him to ride upon the king's mule :
45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the
Erophet have anointed him king in Gri-
on; and they are come up from thence
rejoicing, so that the city rang again.
This is the noise that ye have heard.
46 And also Solomon sitteth/ on the
throne of the kingdom.
47 And, moreover, the king's servants
came to bless our lord king David, say-
ing, God^ make the name of Solomon
better than thy name, and make his
throne greater than thy throne. And^
the king bowed himself upon the bed.
48 And also thus said the king, Blessed
he the Loed God of Israel, which" hath
given one to sit on my throne this day,
mine eyes^ even seeing it.
49 Aid all the guests that were with
Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and
Avent every man his way.
50 And Adonijah feared because of So-
lomon, and arose, and went, and caught*
hold on the horns of the altar.
51 And it was told Solomon, saying,
Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon :
for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns
of the altar, saying. Let king Solomon
swear unto me to day, that he will not
slay his servant with the sword.
52 And Solomon said. If he wiU shew
himself a worthy man, there" shall not
an hair of him fall to the earth: but'*' if
wickedness shall be found in him, he

shall die.*
53 So king Solomon sent, and they
brought him doAvn from the altar. And
he came and bowed himself to king So-
lomon : and Solomon said unto him, Go
to thine house.
-^.y CHAPTEE IL
JMOW*^ the days of David drew nigh
that he should die ; and he charged Solo-
mon his son, saying,
2 \3 go the way of aU* the earth : be thou
strong therefore, and shew thyself a man ;*
3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy
God, to walk in his ways, to keep his sta-
tutes, and his commandments, and his
judgments, and his testimonies, as it is
written' in the law of Moses, that"* thou
mayest ^ prosper in all that thou doest,
and whithersoever thou turnest thyself ;
4 That the Lord may continue his
word, which he spake concerning me,
saying. If 9 thy children take heed to
then* way, to walk before me in truth
with all their heart and with aU their
soul, there'" shall not ^fail thee (said he)
a man on the throne of Israel.
5 Moreover, thou knowest also what
Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me,« and
what he did to the two captains of the
hosts of Israel, unto Abner" the son of
Ner, and unto Amasa" the son of Jether,
whom he slew, and fshed the blood of
war in peace, and put the blood of war
upon his girdle that rvas about his loins,
and in his shoes that were on his feet.
6 Do therefore according'" to thy wis-
dom, andy let not his hoar head' go
down to the grave in peace.
7 But shew kindness imto the sons of
Barzillai'* the Gileadite, and let them
be of those that eat at thy table : for so
they came* to me when I fled because of
Absalom thy brother.
8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shi-
mei " the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Ba-
hurim, which cursed me with a ^grievous
curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim :
but*' he came down to meet me at Jordam
and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I
will not put thee to death with the sword.
9 Now therefore hold* him not guilt-
less ; for thou art a wise man, and know-
est what thou oughtest to do unto him ;
but his hoar head bring thou down to the
grave with blood.
10 So David slept* with his fathers,
and was buried' in the city* of David.
11 And"* the days that David reigned
over Israel were forty years : seven years
reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and
three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
12 Then" sat Solomon upon the throne
of David his father; and his kingdom
was established' greatly.
13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith
came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solo-
mon. And she said, Comest** thou peace-
ably ? And he said. Peaceably.
14 He said moreover, I have somewhat
to say unto thee. And she said. Say on.
15 And he said. Thou knowest that the
kingdom was mine,' and that all Israel
set their faces on me, that I should reign :
howbeit the kingdom is turned about,
and is become my brother's; for it was
his** from the Lord.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee,
deny ^me not. And she said unto him,
Say on.
AdonijaKs and JoaVs death.
1 KINaS, III.
Destruction of Shimei.
17 And lie said. Speak, I pray thee, unto
Solomon the king, (for he will not say
thee nay,) that he give me Abishag" the
Shunammite to wife.
18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will
speak for thee unto the king.
19 Bath-sheba therefore went unto king
Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah.
And the king rose* up to meet her, and/bo^y-
ed himself unto her, and sat down on his
throne, and caused a seat to be set for the
king's mother; and she sat on hisright^ hand.
20 Then she said, I desire one small
petition of thee; I prat/ thee, say me not
nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on,
my mother ; for I will not say thee nay.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shu-
nammite be given to Adonijah thy bro-
ther to wife.
22 And king Solomon answered and
said unto his mother, -A nd why dost thou
ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adoni-
jah? ask for him the kingdom also; for
he is mine elder brother; even for him,
and for Abiathar" the priest, and for Joab
the son of Zeruiah.
23 Then king Solomon sware by the
Lord, saying, G-odP do so to me, and
more also, if Adonijah have not spoken
this word against his own life.
24 Now therefore, as the Loed liveth,
which hath estabUshed me, and set me on
the throne of David my father, and who
hath made me an house, as hC promised,
Adonijah shall be put to death« this day.
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand
ofBenaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he
fell upon him that he died.
26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the
king, Get thee to Anathoth,* unto thine
own fields ; for thou art /3 worthy of death :
but I will not at this time put thee to
death, because" thou barest the ark of the
Lord GrOD before David my father, and
because thou hast been afflicted '<* in all
wherein my father was afflicted. ^
27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from
being priest unto the Loed ; that he might
fulfil the word of the Loed, which he spake
concerningy the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Then tidings came to Joab : for Joab
had" turned after Adonijah, though* he
turned not after Absalom : and Joab fled
unto the tabernacle of the Loed, and
caught** hold on the horns of the altar.
29 And it was told king Solomon that
Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the
Loed ; and, behold, he is by the altar, s'
Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, saying, Gro, fall upon him.
30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle
of the Loed, and said unto him. Thus
saith the king. Come forth. And he said.
Nay ; but I will die here. And Benaiah
brought the king word again, saying, Thus
Baid Joab, and thus he answered me.
31 And the king said unto him. Do as he
hath said, and fall upon him, and bury
him; that" thou mayest take away the
innocent blood, which Joab shed,^ from
me, and from the house of my father.
32 And the Loed shall return'* his blood
upon his own head, who fell upon two
men more righteous and better* than he,
and slew them with the sword, my father
David not* knowing thereof, to wit, Abner
the son of Ner,"" captain of the host of
Israel, and Amasa^ the son of Jether,
captain of the host of Judah.

33 Their blood shall therefore return
ujpon the head of Joab, and upon the head
o± his seed*_ for ever : but'' upon David,
and upon his seed, and upon his house,
and upon his throne, shall there be peace
for ever** from the Loed.
34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went
up, and fell uponhim, and slew him ; andhe was
buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 And the king put Benaiah the son
of Jehoiada in his room^ over the host ;
and Zadok* the priest did the king put in
the room of Abiathar.*
36 And the king sent and called for
Shimei,' and said unto him. Build thee
an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there,
and go not forth thence any whither.
37 For it shall be, that on the day thou
goest out, and passest over the brook
Kidron,"* thou shalt know for certain
that thou shalt surely die : thy" blood
shall be upon thine own head.
38 And Shimei said unto the king. The
saying is good : as my lord the king hath
said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei
dwelt in Jerusalem many daj'^s.
39 And it came to pass at the end of
three years, that two of the servants of Shi-
mei ran away unto Achish? son of Maa-
chah, king of Grath : and they told Shimei,
saying. Behold, thy servants he in Grath,
40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his
ass, and went to Grath, to Achish, to seek
his servants : and Shimei went, and
brought his servants from Grath,
41 And it was told Solomon that Shi-
mei had gone from Jerusalem to Grath,
and was come again.
42 And the king sent and called for
Shimei, and said unto him. Did I not
make thee to swear by the Loed, and
protested unto thee, saying. Know for a
certain, on the day thou goest out, and
walkest abroad any whither, that thou
shalt surely die ? and thou saidst unto me.
The word that I have heard is good.
43 Why then hast thou not kept the
oath of the Loed, and the command-
ment* that I have charged thee with ?
44 The king said moreover to Sliimei,
Thou knowest all the wickedness* which
thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to
David my father: therefore" the Loed
shall return thy wickedness upon thine
own head :
45 And king Solomon shall he" blessed,
and/ the throne of David shall be esta-
bhshed before the Loed for ever,
46 So the king commanded Benaiah the
son of Jehoiada ; which went out, and fell
upon him, that he died. And* the kingdom
was estabUshed in the hand of Solomon.
. CHAPTER III,
AJND Solomon made affimty with Pha-
raoh king of Egypt, and* took Pharaoh's
daughter, and brought her into the city* of
David, until he had made an end of' build-
ing his o wnhouse^nd'" the house of theLoED,
and the wall" of Jerusalem round about,
2 Only 3 the people sacrificed in high
places, because there was no house built
unto the name of the Loed, until those days.
3 And Solomon loved* the Loed. walk-
ing in the statutes'* of David his lather :
only he sacrificed and burnt incense in
high places.
4 And the king went to Gribeon' to
sacrifice there ; for that * toas the great
high place: a thousand burnt ofierings
Qocl^s appearance to Solomon.
1 KINGS, lY.
The wisdom of Solomon.
did Solomon offer upon that altar.
5 In Gibeon the Loed appeared" to
Solomon in a dream* by night: and Grod
said, Ask<^ what I shall give thee.
6 And Solomon said. Thou hast shewed
unto thy servant David my father great
^ mercy, according as he walked*^ before
thee in truth, and in righteousness, and
in uprightness « of heart with thee; and
thou hast kept for him this great kind-
ness, that thou hast given him a son/ to
sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast
made thy servant king instead of David
my father; and I am hut a little child :^
I know not hoio to go' out or come in.
8 And thy servant is in the midst of
thy people which thou hast chosen,* a
great people, that cannot be^ numbered
nor counted tor multitude.
9 Give therefore thy servant an ^un-
derstanding"* heart to judge" thy people
that I may discern^ between good and
bad : for who is able to judge this thy so
great a people ?
10 And the speech pleased the Lord,
that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 And God said unto him. Because « thou
hast asked this tiling, and hast not asked
for thyself^ long life ; neither hast asked
riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of
thine enemies ; but hast asked for thyself
understanding to M discern judgment ;
12 Behold, I have done* according to thy
words : lo, I have given thee a wise and an
understanding heart ; so " that there was
none like thee before thee, neither after
thee shall any arise like unto thee.
13 And I have also given thee that'"
which thou hast not asked, both riches*
and honour; so that^ there '^ shall not
be any among the kings like unto thee
all thy days.
14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to
keep my statutes and my commandments,
as thy father David did walk, then I will
lengthen^ thy days.
15 And Solomon awoke ; and, behold, it
loas a dream. And he came to Jerusalem,
and stood before the ark of the covenant
of the Lord, and offered up burnt offer-
ings, and offered peace offerings, and
made a feast" to all his servants.
16 Then came there two women, that
tvere harlots, unto the king, and stood be-
fore* him.
17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I
and this woman dwell in one house; and I was
delivered of a child with her in the house.
18 And it came to pass, the third day
after that I was delivered, that this wo-
man was delivered also : and we toere to-
gether ; there was no stranger wdth us in
the house, save we two in the house.
19 And this woman's child died in the
night ; because she overlaid it.
20 And she arose at midnight,^ and took
my son from beside me, while thine hand-
maid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and
laid her dead chQd ia my bosom.
21 And when I rose in the morning to give
my child suck, behold, it was dead; but
when I had considered it in the morning,
behold, it was not my son which I did bear.
22 And the other woman said, Nay ;
but the living is my son, and the dead is
thy son. And this said, No ; but the dead
is thy son, and the Kving is my son. Thus
they spake before the king.

23 Then said the king, The one saith,
This is my son that liveth, and thy son is
the dead : and the other saith. Nay ; but
thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
24 And the king said. Bring me a sword.
And they brought a sword before the king.
25 And the king said. Divide the living
child in two, and give half to the one,
and half to the other.
26 Then spake the woman whose the
living child teas unto the king, for*' her
bowels V yearned upon her son, and she
said, O my lord, give her the living child, and
ia no wise slay it. But the other said. Let
it be neither mine nor thiae, but divide it.
27 Then the king answered and said.
Give her the living chUd, and ia no wise
slay it : she is the mother thereof.
28 And all Israel heard of the judgment
which the king had judged ; and they fear-
ed the king : for they saw that the wisdom
of God zvas in ^him, to do" judgment.

tvas in the land.
20 Judah and Israel were many," as the
sand wliich is by the sea in multitude,
eating* and drinking, and making merry.
21 And Solomon reigned*^ over all
kingdoms from the river unto the land
of the Phihstines. and unto the border
of Egypt : they Drought presents, « and
served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 And Solomon's 7 provision for one
day was thirty ^ measures of fine flour,
and threescore measures of meal,
23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out
of the pastures, and an hundred sheep,
beside harts, and roebucks, and faUow-
deer, and fatted fowl.
24 For he had dominion over all the
region on this side the river, from Tiphsah
even to Azzah, over all the kings on this
side the river: and he had peace* on all
sides round about him.
25 And Judah and Israel dwelt >? safe-
ly,' every man under* his vine and un-
der his fig tree, from Dan even to Beer-
sheba, aU the days of Solomon.
26 And Solomon had forty thousand
stalls of horses™ for his chariots," and
twelve thousand horsemen.
27 And those officers provided victual
for king Solomon, and for all that came
unto king Solomon's table, every man
in his month : they lacked nothing.
28 Barley also and straw for the horses
and ^dromedaries brought they unto the
place where the officers were, every man
according to his charge.
29 And Grod gave Solomon i» wisdom
and understanding exceeding much, and
largeness of heart, even as the sand that
is on the sea shore.
30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the
wisdom of all the children of the^ east
country, and all'' the wisdom of Egypt.
31 For he was wiser than all men ; than
Ethan' the Ezrahite, and Heman," and
Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol : and
his fame was in all nations round about.
32 And he spake three thousand pro-
verbs : " and his songs v were a thousand
and five.
33 And he spake of trees, from the ce-
dar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the
hyssop that springeth out of the wall : he
spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of
creeping things, and of fishes.
34 And* there came of aU people to hear
the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of
the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
. CHAPTER V.
.^ND Hiram" king of Tyre sent his
servants unto Solomon ; for he had
heard that they had anointed him king
in the room of his father ; for * Hiram
was ever a lover of David.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 Thou knowest how that David my fa-
ther coiild not buUd an house unto the name
of the LoED his Grod for the wars^' which
were about him on every side, until the
Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
4 But now the Lord my God hath given
me rest* on every side, so that there is
neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
5 And, behold, I P purpose to build an
house/ unto the name of the Lord my
God, as the Lord spake*' unto David my
father, saying. Thy son, whom I will set
upon thy throne in thy room, he shall
build an house unto my name.

6 Now therefore command thou that
they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon ;
and my servants shall be with thy ser-
vants ; and unto thee will I give hire for
thy servants, according to all that thou
shalt P appoint : for thou knowest that
there is not among us'' any that can skill
to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram
heard the words of Solomon, that he re-
joiced greatly, and said. Blessed he the
Lord/ this day, which hath given unto
David a wise sons' over this great people.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying,
I have ^considered the things which
thou sentest to me for : and I will do all
thy desire concerning timber of cedar,
and concerning timber of fir.
9 My servants shall bring them down
from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will
convey them by sea in floats unto the
place that thou shalt ^appoint me, and
win cause them to be discharged there,
and thou shalt receive them : and thou
shalt accomplish my desire in' giving
food for my household.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees
and fir trees, according to all his desire.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty
thousand "measures of wheat for food
to his household, and twenty measures
of pure oil : thus gave Solomon to Hiram
year by year.
12 And the Lord gave Solomon wis-
dom, as he promised" him : and there was
peace between Hiram and Solomon; and
they two made a league together.
13 And king Solomon raised a Mlevy
out of all Israel ; and the levy was thirty
thousand men.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten
thousand a month by courses; a month
they were in Lebanon, and two months at
home : and Adoniram* teas over the levy.
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten
thousand that bare burdens, *" and four-
score thousand hewers'* in the mountains ;
16 Beside the chief of Solomon's offi-
cers which were over the work, three thou-
sand and three hundred, which ruled over
the people that wrought in the work.
17 And the king commanded, and they
brought great stones, costly stones, and
hewed stones, to lay the foundation of
the house.
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's
builders did hew them, and the "stone-
squarers : so they prepared timber and
stones to build the house.
. CHAPTER VL
AlVD it came to pass, in the four hun-
dred and eightieth year after the children
of Israel were come out of the laud of
Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's
reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which
is the second month, that he ''"began to
build the house of the Lord.
2 And the house'' which kiag Solomon
built for the Lord, the length thereof
was threescore cubits, and the breadth
thereof twenty cubits, and the height
thereof thirty cubits.
3 And the porch before the temple of
the house, twenty cubits was the length
thereof, according to the breadth of the
house; and ten cubits was the breadth
thereof before the house.
4 Ajid for the house he made o" windows
of narrow lights.
Building of the Temple.
1 KINGS, yii.
The house of Solomon.
5 And /3 against tlie wall of the house
he built V chambers « round about, against
the walls of the house round about, both
of the temple and of the oracle: and he
made 5 chambers round about.
6 The nethermost chamber was five cu-
bits broad, and the middle was six cubits
broad, and the thii-d was seven cubits
broad : for %vithout in the toall of the house
he made ^ narrowed rests round about,
that the beams shovdd not be fastened in
the walls of the house. . .,.,-,.
7 And the house, when it was in buildmg,
was built of stone made ready before* it
was brought thither : so that there was nei-
ther hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron,
heard in the house while it was in building.
8 The door for the middle chamber loas
in the right " side of the house : and they
went up with winding stairs into the mid-
dle chamber, and out of the middle mto
the thu'd. ■,„•■,->
9 So he built the house, and fimshed
it; and covered the house ^with beams
and boards of cedar.
10 And then he built chambers against
all the house, five cubits high: and they
rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 And the word of the Loed came
to Solomon, sajdng,
12 Concerning this house which thou art
in building, if'' thou wilt walk in my sta-
tutes, and execute my judgments, and keep
all my commandments to walk in them ;
then will I perform my word with thee,
which I spake« unto David thy father :
13 And/ I will dwell among the chil-
dren of Israel, and will not forsake i' my
people Israel.
14 So Solomon built the house, and
finished it.
15 And he built the walls of the house
within with boards of cedar, o-both the
floor of the house, and the walls of the
ceilhig: and he covered them on the in-
side with wood, and covered the floor of
the house with planks of fir.
16 And he built twenty cubits on the
sides of the house, both the floor and the
walls, with boards of cedar: he even
built them for it within, even for the ora-
cle, even for the' most holy place.
17 And the house, that is, the temple
before it, was forty cubits long.
18 And the cedar of the house within was
carved with X knops and »/' open flowers :
all toas cedar : there was no stone seen.
19 And the oracle' he prepared in the
house within, to set there the ark of the
covenant of the Loed.
20 And the oracle in the forepart ^oas
twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits
in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height
thereof : and he overlaid it 'O'ith Y pure gold ;
and so covered the altar iohich was of cedar.
21 So Solomon overlaid the house with-
in with pure gold: and he made a parti-
tion by the chains of gold before the
oracle ; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 And the whole house he overlaid
with gold, until he had finished all the
house : also "* the whole altar that ^oas
by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 And within the oracle he made two
cherubims" of ^oHve tree, each ten cubits
high.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of
the cherub, and five cubits the other wing
of the cherub ; from the uttermost part of

throughout all the parts

it. So was he* seven years in building it.
-r, CHAPTEH YII.
X$UT Solomon was building his own
house thirteen* years, and he finished all
his house.
2 He built also the house of the forest
of Lebanon ; the length thereof ^oas an
hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof
fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty
cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars,
with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 And it was covered with cedar above
upon the ^ beams, that lay on forty five
pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were windows in three rows,
and S light wets against light in three ranks.
5 And all the ^ doors and posts were
square, with the windows : and Hght loas
against light in three ranks.
6 And he made a porch of pillars ; the
length thereof was fifty cubits, and the
breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the
porch loas v before them ; and the other
pillars and the thick beam were i? before
them.
7 Then he made a porch for the throne,
where he might judge, even the porch of
judgment ; and it tvas covered with cedar

from ^ one side of the floor to the other.
8 And his house where he dwelt had an-
other court within the porch, which was
of the hke work. Solomon made also an
house for Pharaoh's daughtei', whom" he
had taken to toife, like unto this porch.
9 All these tvere of costly stones, ac-
cording to the measures of hewed stones,
sawed with saws, within and without, even
from the foundation unto the coping, and
so on the outside toward the great court.
10 And the foundation tvas of costly
stones, even great stones ; stones of ten
cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 And above ^oere costly stones, after
the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
12 And the great court round about was
with three rows of hewed stones, and a
row of cedar beams, both for the inner
court of the house of the Loed, and for
the porch* of the house.
13 And king Solomon sent, and fetched
Hiram/ out of Tyre.
14 He was Y a widow's son^ of the tribe
of NaphtaU, and his father^ teas a man
of Tyre, a worker in brass : and' he was
fiUed with wisdom and understanding and
cunning to work aU works in brass. And
he came to king Solomon, and wrought
all his work.
15 For he ^cast two pillars* of brass,
of eighteen cubits high apiece ; and a
line of twelve cubits did compass either
of them about.
16 And he made two chapiters of molten
brass, to set upon the tops of the piUars :
the height of the one chapiter was five
cubits, and the height of the other chapi-
ter ivas five cubits :
17 And nets of checker work, and
wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters
which were upon the top of the pillars ;
seven for the one chapiter, and seven for
the other chapiter.
18 And he made the piUars, and two
rows round about upon the one network,
to cover the chapiters that tvere upon the
top, with pomegranates : and so did he
for the other chapiter.
19 And tlie chapiters that toere upon
the top of the piUars were of lily work in
the porch, four cubits.
20 And the chapiters upon the two pil-
lars had pomegranates also above, over
against the belly which was by the net-
work: and the pomegranates tvere two
hundred, in rows round about upon the
other chapiter.
21 And he set up the pillars in the
porch" of the temple : and he set up the
right pillar, and called the name thereof
1^ Jachin ; and he set up the left pillar,
and called the name thereof -^ Boaz.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was
lily work : so was the work of the pillars
finished.
23 And he made a molten sea," ten
cubits "from the one brim to the other:
it tvas round aU about, and his height
was five cubits ; and a line of thirty cu-
bits did compass it round about.
24 And 9 under the brim of it round
about there were knops compassing it, ten
in a cubit, compassing the sea round
about: the knops were cast in two rows,
when it was cast.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three
looking toward the north, and three look-
ing toward the west, and three looking

upon them, and all their hinder parts
zcere inward.
26 And it ivas an hand breadth thick,
and the brim thereof was wrought hke
the brim of a cup, with flowers of lihos :
it contained two thousand baths,
27 And he made ten bases of brass :
four cubits tvas the length of one base,
and four cubits the breadth thereof^ and
three cubits the height of it.
28 And the work of the bases was on
this manner: they had borders, and the
borders tvere between the ledges :
29 And on the borders that tvere between
the ledges tvere lions,* oxen, and cheru-
bims :<^ and upon the ledges there was a base
above : and beneath the lions and oxen tvere
certain additions'^ made of thin work.
30 And every base had four brazen
wheels, and plates of brass ; and the four
corners thereof had undersetters : under
the laver wei'e undersetters molten, at
the side of every addition,
31 And the mouth of it, within the
chapiter and above, tvas a cubit : but the
mouth thereof was round, after the work
of the base, a cubit and an half : and also
upon the mouth of it tvere gravings with
their borders, foursquare, not round.
32 And under the borders tvere four
wheels ;^_ and the axletrees of the wheels
were C joined to the base ; and the height of
a wheel tvas a cubit and half a cubit.
33 And the work of the wheels tvas hke
the work of a chariot wheel ; their axle-
trees, and their naves, and their felloes,
and their spokes, tvere all molten.
34 And there were four undersetters to
the four corners of one base : and the un-
dersetters tvere of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base tvas there
a round compass of half a cubit high : and
on the top of the base the ledges thereot^
and the borders thereof, tvere of the same.
36 For on the plates of the ledges there-
of, and on the borders thereof, he graved
cherubims, Hons, and palm trees, accord-
ing to the ^proportion of every one, and
additions round about.
37 After this manner he made the ten
bases : aU of them had one casting, one
measure, and one size.
38 Then made he ten lavers"* of brass :
one laver contained forty baths ; and
every laver was four cubits : and upon
every one of the ten bases one laver.
39 And he put five bases on the right
^side of the house, and five on the left
side of the house : and he set the sea on
the right side of the house eastward, over
against the south.
40 And f^ Hiram made the lavers, and the
shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made
an end of doing all the work that he made
king Solomon for the house of the Lord ;
41 The two pillars, and the ttvo bowls
of the chapiters that tvere on the top of
the two pillars; and the two networks, J'
to cover the two bowls of the chapiters
which tvere upon the top of the pillars ;
42 And four hvmdred pomegranates
for the two networks, even two rows of
pomegranates for one network, to cover
the two bowls of the chapiters that were
i upon the pillars ;
43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers
on the bases ;

Hiram made to king Solomon for the
house of the Lord, ivere o/^ bright brass.
46 In the plain of Jordan did the king
cast them, yin the clay ground between
Succoth « and Zarthan./
47 And Solomon left aU the vessels un-
weighed^ ^because they were exceeding
many: neither was the weight of the
brass ^ found out.
48 And Solomon made aU the vessels
that pertained unto the house of the Lord :
the altar* of gold, and the table of gold,
whereupon the showbread"* was^
49 And the candlesticks of pure gold,
five on the right side^ and five on the left,
before the oracle, with the flowers, and
the lamps, and the tongs, o/gold ;
50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and
the basons, and the spoons, and the ^ cen-
sers, of pure gold ; and the hinges of gold,
both for the doors of the inner house, the
most holy place, and for the doors of the
house, to wit, of the temple.
51 So was ended all the work that king
Solomon made for the house of the Lord.
And Solomon brought in the ^things
which Davids his father had dedicated;
even the silver, and the gold, and the
vessels, did he put among the treasures
of the house of the Lord.
rn CHAPTER YIIL
XHEN9 Solomon assembled the elders
of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the " chief of the fathers of the children of
Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem,
that* they might bring up the ark of the
covenant 9f the Lord out of the city * of
David, which is Zion.
2 And aU the men of Israel assembled
themselves imto king Solomon at the
feast,*' in the month Ethanim, which is
the seventh month.
3 And all the elders of Israel came,
and the priests* took up the ark.
4 And they brought up the ark of the
Lord, and the tabernacle y of the con-
gregation, and all the holy vessels that
loere in the tabernacle, even those did the
priests and the Levites bring up.
5 And king Solomon, and all the con-
gregation of Israel, that were assembled
unto him, loere with him before the ark,
sacrificing "^ sheep and oxen, that could not
be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of
the covenant of the Lord unto his place,*
into the oracle of the house, to the most
holy place, even under the wings/ of the
cherubims.
7 For the cherubims spread forth their
two wings over the place of the ark, and
the cherubims covered the ark, and the
staves thereof, above.
8 And they drew out the staves, that
the ''ends of the staves were seen out in
the '^holy place before the oracle, and
they were not seen without : and there
they are unto this day.
9 There teas nothing in the ark, save the
two tables of stone, which Moses put
there* at Horeb, Pwhen the Lord made
a covenant^ with the children of Israel,
when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests
were come out of the holy place, that

the cloud'' filled the house of the Lord,
11 So that the priests could not stand
to minister because of the cloud : for the
glory of the Lord had filled the house
of the Lord.
12 Then'' spake Solomon, The Lord said
that he would dwell in the thick darkness."^
13 I*' have surely built thee an house
to dwell in, a settled place* for thee to
abide in for ever.
14 And the king turned his face about,
and blessed' aU the congregation of Israel :
(and all the congregation of Israel stood :)
15 And he said. Blessed^' be the Lord
God of Israel, which spake' with his
mouth unto David my father, and hath
with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 Since the day that I brought forth
niy people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no
city out of all the tribes of Israel to build
an house, that my name might be therein ;
but I chose David" to be over my people
Israel.
17 And" it was in the heart of David
my father to build an house for the name
of the Lord God of Israel.
18 And the Lord said unto David my
father, Whereas it was in thine heart to
build an house unto my name, thou didst
well that it was in thine heart :
19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build
the house; but thy son, that shall come
forth out of thy loins, he shall build the
house unto my name.
20 And the Lord hath performed his
word that he spake ; and I am risen up in
the room of David my father, and sit on
the throne of Israel, as*" the Lord pro-
mised, and have built an house for the
name of the Lord God of Israel.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark,
wherein" is the covenant of the Lord,
which he made with our fathers, when he
brought them out of the land of Egvpt.
22 And Solomon stood before tne altar
of the Lord, in the presence of all the
congregation of Isi'ael, and spread'" forth
his hands toward heaven :
23 And he said, Lord God of Israel,
there' is no God like thee, in heaven above,
or on earth beneath, who'* keepest cove-
nant and mercy with thy servants that
walk* before thee with all their heart ;
24 Who hast kept with thy servant David
my father that thou promisedst him : thou
spakest also with thy mouth, and hast ful-
filled it wath thine hand, as it is this day.
25 Therefore now. Lord God of Israel,
keep with thy servant David my father
that thou promisedst him,*^ saying, -^ There
shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit
on the throne of Israel : /* so that thy chil-
di'en take heed to their way, that they walk
before me, as thou hast walked before me.
26 And now, O God of Israel, lets' thy
word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou
spakest unto thy servant David my father.
27 But wiU God indeed dwell on the
earth? Behold, the heaven* and heaven
of heavens • cannot contain thee ; how
much less this house that I have builded ?
28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer
of thy servant, and to his supplication,
O Lord my God, to hearken unto the
cry and to the prayer, which thy servant
prayeth before thee to day :
29 That thine eyes may be open toward
this house night and day, even toward the
place of which thou hast said,"* My name
Solomon's prayer.
shall be there ; that thou mayest hearken
unto the prayer which thy servant shall
make 7 toward this place.
30 And* hearken thou to the supplica-
tion of thy servant, and of thy people Is-
rael, when they shall pray 7 to ward this
place : and hear thou in heaven thy dwell-
ing place ; and when thou hearest, forgive.
31 If any man trespass against his neigh-
bour, and ^an oath be laid upon him to
cause him to swear, and the oath come
before thine altar in this house :
32 Then hear thou in heaven, and do,
and judge thy servants,* condemning the
wicked, to bring his way upon his head;
and justifying^ the righteous, to give him
according to his righteousness.
33 When thy people Israel be* smitten
down before the enemy, because they have
sinned aguinst thee, and shall turn-' again to
thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and
make supplication unto thee ^7 in this house:
34 Then hear thou in heaven, and for-
give the sin of thy people Israel, and
bring them again unto the land which
thou gavest unto their fathers.
35 When heaven* is shut up, and there is
no rain, because they have sinned against
thee ; if they pray toward this place, and
confess thy name, and turn from their
sin, when thou afflictest them :
36 Then hear thou in heaven, and for-
give the sin of thy servants, and of thy
people Israel, that thou teach" them the
good way wherein they should walk, and
give rain upon thy land which thou hast
given to thy people for an inheritance.
37 If^ there be in the land famine, if
there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, lo-
cust, or if there be caterpillar; if their
enemy besiege them in the land of their
"cities ; whatsoever plague, whatsoever
sickness there be;
38 What prayer and suppHcation soever
be made by any man, or by all thy people
Israel, which shall know every man the
Elague of his own heart, and spread forth
is hands toward this house :
39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwell-
ing place, and forgive, and do, and give
to every man according to his ways,
whose heart thou knowest ; (for* thou,
even thou onlv, knowest the hearts of all
the children of men ;)
40 That they may fear* thee all the
days that they live in the land which
thou gavest unto our fathers.
41 Moreover, concerning a stranger that
is not of thy people Israel, but cometh
out of a far country for thy name's sake :
42 (For they shall hear of thy great
name, and of thy* strong hand, and of
thy stretched out arm ;) when he shaU
come and pray toward this house:
43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling
place, and do according to all that the
stranger calleth to thee for ; that« all peo-
Ele of the earth may know thy name, to
iav thee, as do thy people Israel ; and that
they may know that Mthis house, which
I have builded, is called by thy name.
44 If thy people go out to battle against
their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt
send them, and shall pray unto the Loed
toward "^ the city which thou hast chosen,
and toioard the house that I have built
for thy name :
45 Then hear thou in heaven their
prayer and their supplication, and main-

46 If they sin against thee, (for« there is
no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry
with them, and deliver them to the enemy,
so that they carry them away« captives
unto the land of the enemy, far or near ;
47 Yet if they shall ^ bethink themselves
in the land whither they were carried
captives, and repent, and make supplica-
tion unto thee in the land of them that
carried them captives, saying, <* We have
sinned, and have done perversely, we
have committed wickedness;
48 And so return/ unto thee with all their
heart, and with all their soul, in the laud
of their enemies which led them away
captive, and pray unto thee toward^ their
land wliich thou gavest unto their fathers,
the city which thou hast chosen, and the
house which I have built for thy name :
49 Then hear thou their prayer and
their suppHcation in heaven thy dwell-
ing place, and maintain their ^ cause,
_ 50 And forgive thy people that have
sinned against thee, and all their trans-
gressions wherein they have transgressed
against thee, and give' them compassion
before them who carried them captive, that
they may have compassion on them :
51 For"* they be thy people, and thine
inheritance, which thou broughtest forth
out of Egypt, from the midst of the« fur-
nace of iron :
52 That thine eyes may be open unto
the supplication of thy servant, and unto
the supplication of thy people Israel, to
hearken unto them in all that they call
for unto thee.
53 For thou didst separate them from
among all the people of the earth, to be thine
inheritance, as thou spakest? by the hand of
Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest
our fathers out of Egypt, 0 Lord God.
54 And it was so, that when Solomon
had made an end of praying all this
prayer and supplication unto the Lord,
he arose from before the altar of the
Lord, from kneeling on his knees with
his hands spread up to heaven.
55 And he stood, and blessed »■ all the
congregation of Israel with a loud voice,
saying,
56 Blessed he the Loed, that hath given
rest unto his people Israel, according to
all that he promised: there" hath not
^failed one word of all his good pro-
mise, which he promised" by the hand of
Moses his servant.
57 The Loed our G-od be with us, as
he was with our fathers : let "' him not
leave us, nor forsake us ;
58 That he may incline ^ our hearts
unto him, to walk in all his ways, and
to keep his commandments, and his sta-
tutes, and his judgments, which he com-
manded our fathers.
59 And let these my words, wherewith I
have made supplication before the Lord,
be nigh unto the Loed our God day and
night, that he maintain the cause of his
servant, and the cause of his people Israel
at " all times, as the matter shall require ;
60 That* all the people of the earth
may know_ that* the Lord is God, and
that there is none else.
61 Let your heart, therefore, be* perfect
with the Loed our God, to walk in his
statutes, and to keep his commandments,
as at this day.

God's answer to Solomon.
1 KINGS, IX.
Solomon^s hxdldings.
62 And« the king, and aU Israel with I
him, offered sacrifice before the Loed.
63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of
peace offerings, which he offered unto the
LoKD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and
an hundred and twenty thousand sneep.
So the king and aU the children of Israel
dedicated the house of the Loed.
64 The same day did the king haUow the
middle of the court thatwa-s before the house
of the Loed : for there he offered burnt
offerings,and meatofferings, and the fat of the
peace offerings ; because the brazen "^ altar
that ^oas before the Loed toas too little to
receive the burnt offerings and meat offer-
ings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 And at that time Solomon held a
feast,* and aU Israel with him, a great
congregation, from the entering^ in of
Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before
the Loed our God, seven days and seven
days, even fourteen days.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people
away: and they ^ blessed the king, and
went unto their tents joyful and glad of
heart for aU the goodness' that the Loed
had done for David his servant, and for
Israel his people.
. CHAPTER IX.
j^ND" it came to pass, when Solomon
had finished the building of the house of the
Loed, and the king's house,? and aU'' Solo-
mon's desire which he was pleased to do,
2 That the Loed appeared to Solomon
the second time, as he had* appeared un-
to him at Gibeon.
3 And the Loed said unto him, I have
heard' thy prayer and thy supplication that
thou hast made before me : I have hallow-
ed this house which thou hast built, to put
my'* name there for ever ; and mine eyes
and mine heart shaU be there* perpetually.
4 And if thou wilt walk^ before me, as
David" thy father walked, in* integrity of
heart, and in uprightness, to do according
to all that I nave commanded thee, and
wilt keep my statutes and my judgments :
5 Then I will establish the throne of
thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I
promised'' to David thy father, saying,
There shall not fail thee a man upon the
throne of Israel.
6 But if « ye shall at all turn from fol-
lowing me, ye or your children, and Avill
not keep my commandments and my sta-
tutes which I have set before you, but go
and serve other gods, and worship them ;
7 Then ^ wiU I cut off Israel out of the
land which I have given them : and this
house,' which I have hallowed for my
name, will I cast out of my sight ; and
Israel shall be a proverb* and a byword
among aU people :
8 And at this house, tohich is high,
every one that passeth by it shall be as-
tonished, and shall hiss: and they shall
say, Why" hath the Loed done thus
unto this land, and to this house?
9 And they shall answer. Because they
forsook? the Loed their God, who brought
forth their fathers out of the land of
Egypt, and have taken hold upon other
gods, and have worshipped them, and
served them: therefore* hath the Loed
brought upon them all this evil.
10 And* it came to pass at the end of
twenty years, when Solomon had built

11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had
furnished Solomon Avith cedar trees, and
fir trees, and with gold, according to all
his desire,) that then kmg Solomon gave
Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 And Hiram came out from Tj're to
see the cities which Solomon had given
him ; and they ^pleased him not.
13 And he said, What cities are these
wliich thou hast given me, my brother?
And he called them the land of vCabul
unto* this day.
14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore
talents of gold.
15 And this is the reason of the<^ levy
which king Solomon raised; for to build
the house of the Loed, and his own house,
and Millo,/ and the waU^' of Jerusalem,
and Hazor,' and Megiddo,-' and* Gezer.
16 For Pharaoh, king of Egj-pt had gone
up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with
fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt
in the city, and given it for a present unto
his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-
horon*" the nether,
18 And Baalath,** and Tadmor in the
wilderness, in the land,
19 And all the cities of store that Solomon
had, and cities for his chariots/ and cities
for his horsenien, and ^that which Solomon
desired to buUd in Jerusalem, and in Le-
banon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 And all the people that ivere left
of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hi-
vites, and Jebusites, which were not of
the children of Israel,
21 Their childi*en that were left" after
them in the land, whom the children of
Israel also were not able" utterly to de-
stroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tri-
bute of bondservice^ unto this day.
22 But of the children of Israel* did
Solomon make no bondmen : but they
were men of war, and his_ servants, and
his princes, and his captains, and rulers
of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 These loere the chief of the ofiicers
that toere over Solomon's work, five hun-
dred and fifty, which bare rule over the
people that wrought in the work.
24 Buf Pharaoh's daughter came up
out of the city of David unto her/ house
which Solomon had built for her: then«'
did he build Millo.
25 And three times in a year did Solo-
mon offer burnt offerings and peace offer-
ings upon the altar wmch he built unto
the Loed, and he burnt incense ^upon
the altar that toas before the Loed. So
he finished the house.
26 And' king Solomon made a navy
of ships in Ezion-geber,"' which is beside
Eloth, on the ^ shore of the Bed sea, in
the land of Edom.
27 And Hiram sent in the navy his
servants, shipmen that had knowledge of
the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 And" they came to Ophir,^ and fetched
from thence gold, four hundred and twenty
talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
. CHAPTER X.
JxND*" when the queen of Sheba heard
of the fame of Solomon, concerning the
name of the Loed, she came to prove
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 she was come to Solo-
mon, she communed with him of all that
was in her heart.
3 And Solomon told her all her V ques-
tions: there was not any thing hid from
the king, which he told her not.
4 And when the ctueen of Sheba had
seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house
that he had built,
5 And the meat of his table, and the
sitting of his servants, and the ^attend-
ance of his ministers, and their apparel,
and his *? cupbearers, and his ascent by
which he went up unto the house of the
LoED ; there was no more spirit in her.
6 And she said to the king. It was a
true 'f report that I heard in mine own
land of thy ^ acts and of thy wisdom.
7 Howbeit I believed not the words,
until I came, and mine eyes had seen it;
and, behold, the half was not told me :
M-thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth
the fame which I heard.
8 Happy * are thy men, happy are these
thy servants, which stand continually be-
fore thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
9 Blessed/ be the Lord thy God, which
delighted in thee, to set thee on the
throne of Israel : because the Lord loved
Israel for ever, therefore made he thee
king, to 3 do judgment and justice.
10 And' she gave the king an hundred
and twenty talents of gold, and of spices
very great store, and precious stones :
there came no more such abundance of
spices as these which the queen of Sheba
gave to king Solomon.
11 And the navy ' also of Hiram, that
brought gold from Ophix% brought in
from Ophir great plenty of Palmug trees,
and precious stones.
12 And the king made of the almug trees
•^pillars for the house of the Lord, and
for the king's house, harps also, and psal-
teries for singers : there came no such al-
mug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
13 And king Solomon gave unto the
queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever
she asked, beside that X which Solomon
gave her of his royal bounty : so she
turned, and went to her own country, she
and her servants.
14 Now the weight of gold that came
to Solomon in one year was six hundred
threescore and six talents of gold,
15 Beside that he had of the merchant-
men, and of the traffic of the spice mer-
chants, and of all the kings of Arabia,
and of the "^ governors of the coimtry.
16 And king Solomon made two hun-
dred targets of beaten gold : six himdred
shekels of gold went to one target.
17 And he made three hundred « shields
of beaten gold ; three pounds of gold went
to one shield: and the king put them in
the house ' of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Moreover the king made a great
throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the
best gold.
19 The throne had six steps, and the
top of the throne was round y behind : and
there were ^ stays on either side on the
place of the seat, and two lions stood be-
side the stays.
20 And twelve lions stood there on the
one side and on the other upon the six
steps: there was not ^the like made in

sels were of gold, and all the vessels of tlie
house of the forest of Lebanon ioere of pure
gold ; ^ none toere of silver : it was nothing
accounted of in the days of Solomon.
22 For the king had at sea a navy of
Tharshish <« with the navy of Hiram : once
in three years came the navy of Thar-
shish, bringing gold, and silver, ^ ivory,
and apes, and peacocks.
23 So '' king Solomon exceeded all the
kings of the earth for riches and for
wisdom.

mon, to hear his wisdom, which* God
had put in his heart.

sent, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold,
and garments, and armour, and spices,
horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
2Q And Solomon gathered together
chariots'* and horsemen: and he had a
thousand and four hundred chariots, and
twelve thousand horsemen, whom he be-
stowed in the cities for chariots, and with
the king at Jerusalem.
27 And the king "^made silver to he in
Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made
he to he as the sycamore trees that are in
the vale, for abundance.
28 f And Solomon had horses brought out
of Egypt, and linen yarn : * the king's mer-
chants received the linen yarn at a price.
29 And a chariot came up and went out
of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver,
and an horse for an hundred and fifty:
and so for all the kings of the* Hittites,
and for the kings of Syria, did they bring
them out by their '^ means.
-p CHAPTER XL
JjUT king Solomon loved many strange
women, («'■ together with the daughter of
Pharaoh,) women of the Moabites, Am-
monites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
2 Of the nations concerning which the
Lord said™ unto the children of Israel,
Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall
they come in unto you: for surely they
will turn away your heart after their gods.
Solomon clave unto these in love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, prin-
cesses, and three hundred concubines:
and his wives " turned away his heart.
4 For it came to pass, when Solomon
was old, that his wives turned away his
heart after other gods : and his heart was
not perfect" with the Lord his God, as
loasP the heart of David his father.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the
goddess of the Zidonians, and after 'J Mil-
com the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of
the Lord, and ^went not fuUy after the
Lord, as did David his father.
7 Then did Solomon build an high
place »■ for Chemosh,* the abomination of
Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusa-
lem ; and for Molech, the abomination
of the cliildren of Ammon.
8 And likewise did he for all his strange
wives, which burnt incense, and sacrificed
unto their gods.
9 And the Lord was angry « with Solo-
mon, because his heart was turned from
the Lord God of Israel, which had ap-
peared unto him twice, "
10 And had commanded him concern-
ing this thing, that he should not go after
other gods: but he kept not that which
the Lord commanded.
17
God^s angei' against Solomon.
1 KINGS, XII.
Death of Solomon,
11 Wherefore the Loed said unto Solo-
mon, Forasmuch as thia is ^ done of thee,
and thou hast not kept * my covenant and
my statutes, which I have commanded
thee, I will surely rend*^ the kingdom from
thee, and will give it ^ to thy servant.
12 Notwithstanding, in thy/ days I will
not do it, for David thy father's sake : but
I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
13 Howbeiti' I will not rend away all the
kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy
son for David my servant's sake, and for
Jerusalem's sake, which ' I have chosen.
14 And the Lord* stirred up an adver-
sary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite:
he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15 For it came to pass, when' David
was in Edom, and Joab, the captain of the
host, was gone up to bury the slain, after
he had smitten every male" in Edom ;
16 (For six months did Joab remain
there with all Israel, until he had cut off
every male in Edom ;)
17 That Hadad fled, he, and certai-n
Edomites of his father's servants with
him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet
a little child.
18 And they arose out of Midian,^' and
came to Paran : 9 and they took men with
them out of Paran, and they came to
Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt ;
which gave him an house, and appointed
him victuals, and gave him land.
19 And Hadad found great favour in
the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him
to wife" the sister of his own wife, the
sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him
Grenubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned
in Pharaoh's house : and Genubath was
in Pharaoh's household, among the sons
of Pharaoh.
21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that
David slept with his fathers, and* that
Joab, the captain of the host, was dead,
Hadad said to Pharaoh, ^Let me depart,
that I may go to mine own country.
22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But
what hast thou lacked with me, that,
behold, thou seekest to go to thine own
country? And he answered, ^Nothmg:
howbeit let me go in any wise.
23 And God stirred him up anotlier adver-
sary, Kezon the son of Eliadah, which fled
from his lord Hadadezer, '^ king of Zobah.
24 And he gathered men unto him, and
became captain over a band, when" Da-
vid slew them of Zobah: and they went
to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and
reigned in Damascus.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel
all the days of Solomon, beside the mis-
chief that Hadad did : and he abhorred
Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26 And Jeroboam/ the son of Nebat,
an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's ser-
vant, (whose mother's name was Zeruah,
a widow woman,) even he lifted ups' his
hand against the king.
27 And this loas the cause that he lifted
up^i* hand against the king: Solomon
built Millo,* and ^repaired the breaches
of the city of David his father.
28 And the man Jeroboam toas a mighty
man of valour: and Solomon seeing the
young man that he Mwas industrious, he
made him ruler over all the »' charge of
the house of Joseph.
29 And it came to pass at that time,

when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem,
that the prophet Ahijah" the Shilonite
found him in the way; and he had clad
himself with a new garment; and they
two were alone in the field :
30 And Ahijah caught « the new ^ gar-
ment that was on him, and rent it in
twelve pieces :
31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee
ten pieces; for'' thus saith the Loed,
the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend
the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon,
and will give ten tribes to thee :
32 (But he shall have one tribe for my
servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's
sake, the city which I have chosen out of
all the tribes of Israel :)
33 Because"* that they have forsaken me,
and have worsliipped Ashtoreth the god-
dess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of
the Moabites, and MUcom the god of the
children of Ammon ; and have not walked
in_ my ways, to do that tohich is right in
mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and
my judgments, as did David his father.
34 Howbeit ° I will not take the whole
kingdom out of his hand : but I will make
him _ prince all the days of his life, for
David'' my servant's sake, whom I ctiose,
because he kept my commandments and
my statutes ;
35 But* I will take the kingdom out of
his son's hand, and will give it unto thee,
even ten tribes.
36 And unto his son will I give* one
tribe, that* David my servant may have
a 7 light alway before me in Jerusalem,
the city which I have chosen me to put
my name there.
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt
reign according to all that thy soul de-
su'eth, and shalt be king over Israel.
38 And it shall be, if"" thou wilt hearken
unto all that I command thee, and wilt
walk in my ways, and do that is right in
my sight, to keep my statutes and my
commandments, as David my servant
did; thaty I will be with thee, and* build
thee a sure house, as I built for David,
and will give Israel unto thee.
39 And I wiU for this afflict the seed
of David, but ° not for ever.
40 Solomon sought * therefore to kiU^ Je-
roboam : and Jeroboam arose, and fled into
Egj^pt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was
in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 Ajid« the rest of the 'J acts of Solo-
mon, and all that he did, and his wis-
dom, are they not written in the book of
the acts of Solomon ?
42 And the ^ time that Solomon reigned in
Jerusalem over all Israel loas forty years.
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers,
and was buried in the city of David his
father: and '«Eehoboam his son reigned
in his stead.
. CHAPTER XII.
-AJND * Rehoboam went to Shechem :
for all Israel were come to Shechem to
make him king.
2 And it came to pass, when ' Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt,
heard of it., (for he was fled from the
presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam
dwelt in Egypt,)
3 That they sent and called him. And Je-
roboam and all the congregation of Israel
came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
4 Thy father made our yoke' grievous:
The ten tribes revolt.
1 KINaS, XIIL
Jerohoamls idolatry.
now, tlierefoi-e, make thou the grievous
service of thy father, and his heavy yoke
which he put upon us, lighter, and we
will serve thee.
5 And he said unto them, Depart yet
for three days, then come again to me.
And the people departed.
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the
old" men that stood before Solomon his
father while he yet lived, and said, How do
ye advise, that I may answer this people ?
7 And they spake unto him, saying. If
thou wilt be a servant* unto this people
this day, and wilt serve them, and answer
them, and speak good words'^ to them,
then they will be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old
men, which. they had given him, and con-
sulted with the young men that were grown
up with him, and which stood before him ;
9 And he said unto them. What coun-
sel give ye, that we may answer this
Seople, who have spoken to me, saying,
lake the yoke which thy father did put
upon us lighter ?
10 And the young men that were grown
up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus
shalt thou speak unto this people that
spake unto thee, saying. Thy father made
our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter
unto us ; thus shalt thou say unto them.
My little finger shall be thicker than my
father's loins.
11 And now, whereas my father did
lade you with a heavy yoke, I wUl add
to your yoke: my father hath chastised
you with whips, but I wiU. chastise you
with scorpions.*
12 So Jeroboam and aU the people
came to Rehoboam the third day, as the
king had appointed, saying. Come to me
again the third day.
13 And the king answered the people
^roughly," and forsook ** the old men's
counsel that they gave him ;
14 And'" spake to them after the counsel
of the young men, saying. My father made
your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke :
my father also chastised you with whips,
but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Wherefore the king hearkened not
unto the people ; for' the cause was from
the LoED, that he might perform his say-
ing, which the Lord spake"" by Ahijah the
Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 So when aU Israel saw that the king
hearkened not unto them, the people an-
swered the king, saying, What^ portion
have we in David? neither have we inherit-
ance in the son of Jesse: to your tents,
O Israel : now see to thine own house, Da-
vid. So Israel departed unto their tents.
17 But" as for the children of Israel
which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Reho-
boam reigned over them.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent" Adoram,
who was over the tribute ; and all Israel sto-
ned him with stones, that he died : there-
fore king Rehoboam ''made speed to get
him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 So*^ Israel ^rebelled against the
house of David unto this day.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel
heard that Jeroboam was come again, that
they sent and called him unto the congre-
gation, and made him king over all Israel :
there was none that followed the house
of David, but the tribe of Judah only.s'

Jerusalem^ he assembled all the house of
Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an
hundred and fourscore thousand chosen
men, which were warriors, to fight against
the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom
again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22 But the word of God came unto
Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 Speak _ unto Rehoboam, the son of
Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the
house of Judah and Benjamin, and to
the remnant of the people, saying,
24 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not
go up, nor fight against your brethren the
children of Israel: return every man to
his house ; for ^ this thing is from me.
They hearkened therefore to the word of
the Lord, and returned to depart, ac-
cording to the word of the Lord.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem* in
mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein ; and
went out from thence, and built Penuel./
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart,
Now shall the kingdom return to the
house of David :
27 If this people go up^ to do sacrifice in
the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then
shall the heart of this people turn again
unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king
of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go
again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 Whereupon the king took counsel,
and made two calves* of gold, and said
unto them, It is too much for you to go
up to Jerusalem : behold ' thy gods, O
Israel, which brought thee up out of the
land of Egypt.
29 And he set the one in Beth-el,' and
the other put he in Dan.™
30 And this thing became" a sin: for
the people went to worship before the one,
even unto Dan.
31 And he made an house of high places,
and made priests « of the lowest of the peo-
ple, which were not of the sons of Levi.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in
the eighth month, on the fifteenth day
of i\\e month, like unto the feast* that
is in Judah, and vhe ofiered upon the
altar. So did he in Beth-el, ^ sacrificing
unto the calves that he had made: and
he placed in Beth-el" the priests of the
high places which he had made.
33 So he f ofiered upon the altar which
he had made in Beth-el, the fifteenth day
of the eighth month, even in the mouth
which he had devised* of his own heart;
and ordained a feast unto the children
of Israel: and he ofiered upon the altar,
and '? burnt " incense.
. CHAPTER XIIL
AlVD, behold, there came a man of God
out of Judah by the word of the Lord
unto Beth-el : and * Jeroboam stood by
the altar to ^ burn incense.
2 And he cried against the altar in the
word of the Lord, and said, O altar, al-
tar, thus saith the Lord ; Behold, a child
shall be born unto the house of David,
Josiah by name; and upon thee shall*
he offer the priests of the high places
that burn incense upon thee, and men's
bones shall be burnt upon thee.
3 And he gave a sign/ the same day,
saying. This is the sign which the Lord
hath spoken ; Behold, the altar shall be
rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall
be poured out.
4 And it came to pass, when king Jero-
JeroboawLS hand tvithereth.
1 KiNas. xiy.
The deceived prophet slain.
boam heard the saying of the mau of God,
which had cried against the altar in Beth-el,
that he put forth his hand from the altar,
saying, « Lay hold on him. And his hand,
which he put forth against him, dried iip, so
that he could not pull it in again to him.
5 The altar also was rent, and the
ashes poured out from the altar, accord-
ing to the sign '^ which the man of God
had given by the word of the Loed. |
6 And the king answered and said unto
the man of God, Entreat*^ now the face
of the Lord thy God, and pray for me,
that my hand may be restored me again. '
And the man of God besought ^ the Loed,
and the king's hand was restored him
again, and became as it tvas before.
7 And the king said unto the man of
God, Come home with me, and refresh
thyself, and I wiU give thee a« reward.
8 And the man of God said unto the king,
If/ thou wilt give me half thine house,
I will not go in with thee, neither will I
eat bread nor drink water in this place :
9 For so was it charged me by the word
of the Loed, saying, Eat^ no bread, nor
drink water, nor turn again by the same
way that thou camest.
10 So he went another way, and returned
not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in
Beth-el; and his ^sons came and told
him all the works that the man of God
had done that day in Beth-el: the words
which he had spoken unto the king, them
they told also to their father.
12 And their father said unto them.
What way went he ? Eor his sons had seen
what way the man of God went, which
came from Judah.
13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle
me the ass. So they saddled him the
ass ; and he rode thereon,
14 And went after the man of God, and
found him sitting under an oak: and he
said unto him, Art thou the man of God that
camest from Judah ? And he said, I am.
15 Then he said unto him, Come home
with me, and eat bread.
16 And he said, I may^ not return
with thee, nor go in with thee: neither
will I eat bread nor di-ink water with
thee in this place :
17 Eor " it was said to me by^ the word
of the Loed, Thou shalt eat no bread
nor drink water there, nor turn again to
go by the way that thou camest.
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet
also as thou art ; and an angel spake unto
me by the word of the Loed, saying.
Bring him back with thee into thine house,
that he may eat bread and drink water.
£ut he lied ^ unto him.
19 So* he went back with him, and did
eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the
table, that the word of the Loed came
unto the prophet that brought him back :
21 And he cried imto the man of God
that came from Judah, saying. Thus saith
the Loed, Forasmuch* as thou hast dis-
obeyed the mouth of the Loed, and hast
not kept the commandment which the
Loed thy God commanded thee,
22 But camest back, and hast eaten" bread
and drunk water in the place of the which
the LORD did say* to thee. Eat no bread,
and drink no water ; thy carcase "^ shall not
come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

23 And it came to pass, after he had
eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that
he saddled for him the ass, to toit, for the
prophet whom he had brought back.
24 And when he was gone, a lion* met
him by the way, and slew him ; and his
carcase was cast in the way, and the ass
stood by it, the lion also stood by the
carcase.
25 And, behold, men passed bj', and
saw the carcase cast in the way, and the
lion standing by the carcase: and they
came and told it in the city where the
old prophet dwelt.
26 And when the prophet that brought
him back from the way heard thereof he
said. It is the man of God, who was dis-
obedient unto the word of the Loed ;
therefore the Loed hath delivered him
unto the lion, which hath t torn him, and
slain him, according to the word of the
Loed, which he 3 spake unto him.
27 And he spake to his sons, saying,
Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
28 And he went, and found his carcase
cast in the way, and the ass and the lion
standing by the carcase: the lion had
not eaten the carcase, nor ^ torn the ass.
29 And the prophet took up the car-
case of the man of God, and laid it upon
the ass, and brought it back : and the old
prophet came to the city, to mourn and
to bury him.
30 And he laid his carcase in his own
grave; and they mourned over him, say-
ing, Alas,' my brother!
31 And it came to pass, after he had
buried him, that he spake to his sous,
saying. When I am dead, then bury me in
the sepulchre wherein the man of God is
buried : lay* my bones beside his bones :
32 For the saying which he cried by
the word of the Loed against the altar
in Beth-el, and against all the houses of
the high places which are in the cities of
Samaria,' shall surely come to pass.
33 After"* this thiiig Jeroboam returned
not from his evil way, but »Jmade again"
of the lowest of the people priests of the
high places: whosoever would, he ^con-
secrated him, and he became one of the
priests of the high places.
34 And this thing became sin unto the
house of Jeroboam, even to' cut it off, and
to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
. CHAPTER XIY.
A.T that time Abijah the son of Jero-
boam feU sick.
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife. Arise,
I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou
be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam ;
and get thee to Shiloh : behold, there is
Ahijah the prophet, which* told me that
I should be king over this people.
3 And" take ^with thee ten loaves,
and f* cracknels, and a "cruse of honey,
and go to him: he shall tell thee what
shall become of the child.
4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose,
and went to Shiloh,"" and came to the house
of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for
his eyes 'r-were set by reason of his age.y_
5 And the Loed said* unto Ahijah,
Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to
ask a thing of thee for her son, for he is
sick : thus and thus shalt thou say unto her ;
for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she
shall feign herself to be another woman.
6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the
Jeroboam ilireatened.

sound of her feet, a3 slie came in at the
door, that he said. Come in, thou wife of
Jeroboam ; wliy feignest thou thyself to
he another ? For I am sent to thee loith
^ heavy tidings.
7 Gro, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the
LOED G-od of Israel, Forasmuch* as I ex-
alted thee from among the people, and
made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 And rentf' the kingdom away from
the house of David, and gave it thee ; and
yet thou hast not been as my servant
David, who* kept my commandments,
and who followed me with all his heart, to
do that only which tuas right in mine eyes ;
9 But hast done evil above all that
were before thee : for * thou hast gone
and made thee other gods, and molten
images, to provoke" me to anger, and
hast cast" me behind thy back ;
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil
upon the house of Jeroboam, and will
cut off" from Jeroboam him that pisseth
against the wall, and him that is shut p up
and left in Israel, and will take away the
remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a
man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
11 Him? that dieth of Jeroboam in the
city shall the dogs eat ; and him that dieth
in the field shall the fowls of the air eat :
for the Lord hath spoken if.
12 Arise thou, therefore, get thee to
thine own house; and when thy feet en-
ter into the city, the child shall die.»
13 And all Israel shall mourn for him,
and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam
shall come to the grave, because* in him
there is found" some good thing toward
the LoED God of Israel in the house of
Jeroboam.
14 Moreover, the Loed shall raise him
up a king over Israel, who* shall cut
off the house of Jeroboam that day : but
what ? even now.
15 For the Loed shall smite Israel as
a reed is shaken in the water, and* he
shall root*' up Israel out of this good
land which he gave to their fathers, and
shall scatter* them beyond the river, be-
cause they have made their fl* gi'oves, pro-
voking the Loed to anger.
16 And he shall give Israel up,* be-
cause of the sins of Jeroboam, who' did
sin, and who made Israel to sin.
17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and de-
parted, and came to Tirzah;* atid when
she came to the threshold of the door,
the child died ;
18 And they buried him ; and all Is-
rael mourned for him, according to the
word of the Loed, which he spake' by the
hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam,
how he warred,""* and how he reigned,
behold, they are written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 And the days which Jeroboam
reigned loere two and twenty years : and
he V slept with his fathers, and Nadab
his son reigned in his stead.
21 And Rehoboam the sou of Solomon
reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was" forty
and one years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned seventeen years in Jeru-
salem, the cityP which the Loed did
choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to
put his name there. And his mother's

Loed, and they provoked him to" jealousy
with their sins which they had committed,
above all that their fathers had done :
23 For they also built them high* places,
and y images, and groves,'' on every high
hill, and** under every green tree.
24 And/ there were also sodomites in
the land ; and they did according to all
the abominations of the nations which the
Loed cast out before the children of Israel.
25 And* it came to pass, in the fifth
year of kmg Eehoboam, that Shishak king
of Egypt came up against Jerusalem :
26 And he took away the treasures of
the house of the Loed, and the treasures
of the king's house ; he even took away
all: and he took away all the shields of
gold ' which Solomon had made.
27 And king Rehoboam made in their
stead brazen shields, and committed them
unto the hands of the chief of the ^ guard,
which kept the door of the king's house.
28 And it was so, when the king went
into the house of the Loed, that the
guard bare them, and brought them back
into the guard chamber.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Reho-
boam, and all that he did, are thev not
written in the book of the chronicles of
the kings of Judah ?
30 And** there was war between Reho-
boam and Jeroboam all their days.
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fa-
thers, and was buried with his fathers in
the city of David. And his mother's name
was Naamah, an Ammonitess. And Abi-
jam" his son reigned in his stead.
n^ , CHAPTER XV.
JM OAV «' in the eighteenth year of king
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, reigned Abi-
jam over Judah.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
Andy his mother's name ivas' Maachah,
the daughter of Abishalom.<»
3 And he walked in all the sins of his
father, which he had done before him : and
his heart*^ was not perfect with the Loed
his God, as the heart of David his father.
4 Nevertheless,/ for David's sake, did
the Loed his God give him a &' lamp in
Jerusalem, to set up his son after him,
and to establish Jerusalem :
5 Because David did that which toas
right in the eyes of the Loed, and turned
not aside from any thing that he com-
manded him all the days of his life, save
only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 And there was war between Rehobo-
am and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam,
and all that he did, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Judah? And there was war between
Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 And" Abijam slept with his fathers;
and they buried him in the city of David :
and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 And in the twentieth year of Jerobo-
am king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
10 And forty and one years reigned he in
Jerusalem. And his ^mother's name ^vas
Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom._
1 1 And Asa did that which toas right in the
eyes of the Loed, as did David his father.
12 And he took away the sodomites out
of the land, and removed all the idols
that his fathers had made.
13 And also Maachah his mother, even
her he removed from being queen, because

she had made an idol in a grove : and
Asa" ^destroyed her idol, and burnt* it
bv the brook liidron.
'l4 Buf* the high places were not re-
moved: nevertheless Asa's heart was
perfect with the Loed aU his days.
15 And he brought in the 7 things which
his father had dedicated, and the things
which himself had dedicated, into the house
of the LoKD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 And there was war between Asa
and Baasha king of Israel all theu- days.
17 And/ Baasha king of Israel went up
against Judah, and built Ramah,*' that
he* might not suffer any to go out or
come in to Asa king of Judah.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the
gold that were left in the treasures of the
house of the Loed, and the treasures of
the king's house, and deHvered them into
the hand of his servants : and king Asa
sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Ta-
brimon, the son of Hezion, king of Sja'ia,
that dwelt" at Damascus, saying,
19 There is a league between me and
thee, and between my father and thy fa-
ther : behold, I have sent unto thee a pre-
sent of silver and gold; come and break
thy league with Baasha king of Israel,
that he may ^ depart from me.
20 So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king
Asa, and sent the captains 9f the hosts
which he had against the cities of Israel,
and smote Ijou,* and Dan,** and Abel-
beth-maachah," and aU Cinneroth, with
all the land of Naphtali.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha
heard thereof, that he left off bmlding of
Eamah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation
throughout aUJudah ; none toas ^exempt-
ed ; and they took away the stones of Ea-
mah, and the timber therepf, wherewith
Baasha had builded : and king Asa built
with them G-eba" of Benjamin, and Mizpah.*
23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all
hi3_ might, and aU that he did, and the
cities which he built, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Judah ? Nevertheless in the time of
liis old age he was diseased* in his feet.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and
was buried with his fathers in the city of
David his father: andfi' Jehoshaphat '' his
son reigned in his stead.
25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam
^ began to reign over Israel in the second
year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned
over Israel two years.
26 And he did evil in the sight of the
Loed, and walked in the way of his fa-
ther, and in his sin wherewith he made
Israel to sin.
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the
house of Issachai", conspired against him ;
and' Baasha smote him at"' Gibbethon,
which belonged to the Philistines ; (for Na-
dab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon ;)
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of
Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned
in his stead.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned,
that he smote all the house of Jeroboam ;
he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed,
until he had destroyed him, according
unto the saying s of the Loed, which he
spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite :
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam
which he sinned, and which he made Is-

provoked <^ the Loed God of Israel to anger.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab,
and all that he did, ai-e they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Israel ?
32 And* there was war between Asa
and Baasha king of Israel aU their days.
33 In the third year of Asa king of
Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah
to reign over aU Israel in Tirzah, twenty
and four years.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the
Loed, and walked in the Avay" of Jero-
boam, and in his sin* wherewith he made
Israel to sin.
^ CHAPTER XYI.
XHEN the word of the Loed came to
Jehu' the son of Hanani, against Baa-
sha,"* saying,
2 Forasmuch" as I exalted thee out of
the dust, and made thee prince over my
people Israel; and thou hast walked in
the way^ of Jeroboam, and hast^ made
my people Israel to sin, to provoke me
to anger with their sins ;
3 Behold, I will'' take away the poste-
rity of Baasha, and the posterity of his
house; and will make thy house like the
house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4 Him* that dieth of Baasha in the city
shall the dogs eat ; and him that dieth of his
in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha,
and what he did, and his mi^ht, are they
not written'" in the book ot the chroni-
cles of the kings of Israel ?
6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and
was buried in Tirzah : ^ and Elah his son
reigned in his stead.
7 And also by the hand of the^ prophet
Jehu, the son of Hanani, came the word
of the Loed against Baasha, and against
his house,* even for all the evil that he
did in the sight of the Loed, in« pr9-
voking him to anger with the work of his
hands, in being like the house of Jero-
boam, and because ^ he killed him.
8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa
king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha
to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
9 And his servant Zimri,/ captain of
half his chariots, conspired against him
as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself
drunk ' in the house of Arza, ^ steward
of his house in Tirzah.
10 And Zimri went in and smote him,
and killed him, in the twenty and seventh
year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned
in his stead.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to
reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that
he slew all the house of Baasha : he left him
not one* that pisseth against a wall, "nei-
ther of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house
of Baasha, according to the word of the
Loed, which he spake" against Baasha
^ by Jehu the prophet,
13 For all the sins of Baasha, and the
sins of Elah his son, by which they sin-
ned, and by which they made Israel to
sin, in provoking" the Loed God of Is-
rael to anger with their vanities.?
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all
that he did, are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
15 In the twenty and seventh year of
Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven

days iu Tirzah." And tlie people were
encamped against Gribbethon,* which he-
longed to the Philistines.
16 And the people that ivere encamped
heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath
also slain the king: w^^erefore all Israel
made Omri, the captain of the host, king
over Israel that day in the camp,
17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon,
and aU Israel with him, and they besieged
Tirzah.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw
that the city was taken, that he went into
the palace of the king's house, and burnt the
king's house over him^' with fire, and died,
19 For his sins which he sinned in do-
ing evil in the sight of the Lord, in walk-
ing* in the way of Jeroboam, and in his
sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri,
and his treason that he wrought, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles
of the kings of Israel ?
21 Then were the people of Israel di-
vided' into two parts: half of the people
followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make
him king ; and half foUowed Omri.
22 But the people that followed Omri
prevailed against the people that followed
Tibni the son of Ginath : so Tibni died,
and Omri reigned.
23 In the thirty and first j^ear of Asa
king of Judah began Omri™ to reign over
Israel, twelve years : six years reigned
he in Tirzah.
24 And he bought the hill Samaria of
Shemer for two talents of silver, and built
on the hill, and called the name of the
city which he built, after the name of
Shemer, owner of the hill, 5 Samaria."
25 But Omri wrought evil^ in the eyes
of the LoED, and did worse than all that
were before him.
26 For he walked a; in all the way of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his
sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to
provoke the Loed God of Israel to anger
with their vanities.*"
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri
which he did, and his might that he shew-
ed, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and
was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his
son reigned in his stead.
29 And in the thirty and eighth year of
Asa king of Judah, began Ahab the son
of Omri to reign over Israel : and Ahab
the son of Omri reigned over Israel, in
Samaria, twenty and two years.
30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil
in the sight of the Loed above" all that
were before him.
31 And it came to pass, ^as if it had
been a light ^ thing for him to walk in the
sins of Jerob9am the son of Nebat, that
he took to wife'" Jezebel the daughter of
Ethbaal king of the Zidonians,* and^ went
and served Baal, and worshipped him.
32 And he reared up an altar for Baal
in the house of Baal, which he had built
in Samaria.
33 And Ahab made a grove ;« and Ahab
did more* to provoke the Loed God of
Israel to anger than all the kings of Is-
rael that were before him.

biiild Jericho: he laid the foundation
thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set

drink, and laid him down again.
7 And the angel of the Lord came
again the second time, and touched him,
and said, Arise and eat ; because the
journey is too great for thee.
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink,
and went in the strength of that meat
forty* days and forty nights, unto Horeb
the " mount of God.
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and
lodged there; and, behold, the word of
the Lord came to him, and he said unto
him. What doest thou here, Elijah ?
10 And if he said, I have been very * jea-
lous for the Lord God of hosts : for the
children of Israel have forsaken thy co-
venant, thrown down thine altars, and
slain* thy prophets with the sword: and
I, even I only, am left; and they seek
my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon
the mount ^ before the Lord. And, be-
hold, the Lord passed b}% and a great
and strong wind™ rent the mountains,
and brake in pieces the rocks before the
Lord; hut the" Lord tvas not in the
wind : and after the wind an earthquake ;
hut the Lord ^oas not in the earthquake :
12 And after the earthquake a fire; hut
the Lord was not in the fire: and after
the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it,
that he 9 wrapped his face in his mantle,
and went out, and stood in the entering
in of the cave. And, behold, there came
a voice unto him, and said, What doest
thou here, Elijah ?
14 And he said, I« have been very jea-
lous for the Lord God of hosts ; because
the children of Israel have forsaken * thy
covenant, thrown down thine altars, and
slain thy prophets with the sword: and
I, even I only, am left; and they seek
my life, to take it away.
15 And the Lord said unto him. Go,
return on thy way to the wilderness of
Damascus : and when thou comest, anoint
Hazael" to he king over Syria:
16 And Jehu" the son of Nimshi shalt
thou anoint to he king over Israel : and Eli-
sha ^ the son of Shaphat, of Abel-meholah,
shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17 And * it shaU come to pass, that him
that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall
Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from
the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. '
18 Yet " I ^ have left me seven thousand
in Israel, all the knees which have not
bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which
hath not kissed*' him.
19 So he departed thence, and found Eli-
sha the son of Shaphat, who was plow-
ing with twelve yoke of oxen before him,
and he with the twelfth : and Elijah passed
by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after
Elijah, and said. Let me, I pray thee, kiss
my father and my mother, and thenf I will
follow thee. And he said unto him, "Go
back again : for what have I done to thee ?
21 And he returned back from him, and
took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and
boiled their flesh with the instruments ' of
the oxen, and gave unto the people, and
they did eat: then he arose, and went
after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

were thirty and two kings with him, and
horses, and chariots : and he went up and
besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
2 Aad he sent messengers to Ahab kmg
of Israel into the city, and said unto him,
Thus * saith Ben-hadad,
3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine : thy
wives also and thy children, even the
goodliest, are mine. „ ^ , , j
4 And the king of Israel answered and
said. My lord, O king, according to thy
saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
5 And the messengers came again, and
said. Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying.
Although I have sent unto thee, saying.
Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy
gold, and thy wives, and thy children ;
6 Yet I wUl send my servants unto thee
to morrow about this time, and they shaU
search thine house, and the houses of thy
servants ; and it shall be, that whatsoever
is /3 pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put
it in their hand, and take it away.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the
elders of the land,/ and said, Mark, I pray
you, and see how this man seeketh mis-
chief: for he sent unto me for my wives,
and for my children, and for my silver,
and for my gold ; and I ^ denied him not.
8 And all the elders and all the people
said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor
consent.
9 Wherefore he said unto the messen-
gers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king.
All that thou didst send for to thy ser-
vant at the first I will do : but this thing
I may not do. And the messengers de-
parted, and brought him word again.
10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and
said. The gods ' do so unto me, and more
also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for
handfuls for all the people that ^ foUow me.
11 And the king of Israel answered and
said. Tell him, Let^ not him that girdeth
on his harness boast himself as he that
putteth it olf.
12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad
heard this « message, as he tuas drinking,
he and the kings in the ^pavilions, that
he said unto his servants, a* Set yourselves
in array : and they set themselves in array
against the city.
13 And, behold, there "came a prophet
unto Ahab king of Israel, saying. Thus
saith the Loed, Hast thou seen all this
great multitude? behold, I will deliver it
into thine hand this day ; « and thou shalt
know that I am the Lord.
14 And Ahab said. By whom? And he
said. Thus saith the Loed, ^ven by the
'^ young men of the princes of the pro-
vinces. Then he said, Who shall P order
the battle ? And he answered. Thou.
15 Then he numbered * the young men of
the princes of the provinces, and they were
two hundred and thirty two: and after
them he numbered aU the people, even all
the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 And they went out at noon: but
Ben-hadad was drinking" himself drunk
in the pavilions, he and the kings, the
thirty and two kings « that helped him.
17 And the young men of the princes of
the provinces went out first; and Ben-
hadad sent out, and they told him, saying.
There are men come out of Samaria.
18 And he said. Whether they be come
out for peace, take them alive ; or whether
they be come out for war, take them alive.

19 So these young men of the princes
of the provinces came out of the city, and
the army which followed them.
20 And" they slew every one his man:
and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued
them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria
escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and
smote the horses and chariots, and slew
the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 And the prophet " came to the king of
Israel, and said unto him. Go, strengthen
thyself, and mark, and see what thou
doest: for at the return'^ of the year the
king of Syria will come up against thee.
23 And the servants of the king of Syria
said unto him, Their gods ' are gods of the
hiUs, therefore they were stronger than we :
but let us fight against them in the plain,
and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 And do this thing: Take the kings
away, every man out of his place, and
put captains in their rooms :
25 And number thee an army like the
army that V thou hast lost, horse for horse,
and chariot for chariot : and we will fight
against them in the plain, ands surely
we shall be stronger than they. And he
hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
26 And it came to pass, at the return
of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered
the Syrians, and went up to Aphek,* to
^ fight against Israel.
27 And the children of Israel were num-
bered, and were 'Jail present, and went
against them: and the children of Israel
pitched before them like two little flocks
of kids ; but the Syrians filled the country.
28 And there came a man of God, and
spake unto the king of Israel, and said,
Thus saith the Loed, Because* the Sy-
rians have said. The Loed is God of the
hills, but he is not God of the valleys;
therefore"* will I deliver aU this great
multitude into thine hand, and ye shall
know that I am the Loed.
29 And they pitched one over against the
other seven days ; and so it was, that in the
seventh day the battle was joined:" and
the children of Israel slew of the Syrians
an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 But the rest fled" to Aphek, into the
city; and thereP a wall fell upon twenty
and seven thousand of the men that were
left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into
the city, into ^ an inner chamber.
31 And his servants said unto him. Be-
hold now, we have heard that the kings of
the house of Israel are merciful'' kings:
let us, I pray thee, put* sackcloth on our
loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go
out to the king of Israel; peradventure
he wiU save thy life.
32 So they girded sackclpth on their
loins, and put ropes on their heads, and
came to the king of Israel, and said. Thy
servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let
me live. And he said, Is he yet alive?
he is my brother.
33 Now the men did diligently observe
whether any thing toould come from him,
and did hastily catch it: and they said,
Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said.
Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came
forth to him ; and he caused him to come
up "" into the chariot.
34 And Ben-hadad said unto him. The
cities* which my father took from thy
father, I will restore ; and thou shalt make
AhaVs folly reproved.

streets for thee in Damascus, as^ my fa-
ther made in Samaria. Then said AJiah^
I will send thee away with this covenant.
So he made a covenant* with him, and
sent him away.
35 And a certain man of the sons<^ of the
prophets said nnto his neighbour in the
word*^ of the Loed, Smite* me, I pray
thee. And the man refused to smite him.
36 Then said he unto him, Because thou
hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord,
behold, as soon as thou art departed from
me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon
as he was departed from him, a lion '
found him, and slew him.
37 Then he found another man, and said.
Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote
him, y so that in smiting he wounded him.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited
for the king by the way, and* disguised
himself with ashes upon his face.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried
imto the king: and he said,"» Thy servant
went out into the midst of the battle ; and,
behold, a man turned aside, and brought
a man unto me, and said, Keep this man :
if^' by any means he be missing, then
shall thy life be for his life, or else thou
shalt 5 pay a talent of silver.
40 And as thy servant was busy here
and there, he f was gone. And the king of
Israel said unto him. So' shall thy judg-
ment he; thyself'' hast decided it.
41 And he hasted, and took the ashes
away from his face ; and the king of Israel
discerned him that ne was of the prophets.
42 And he said unto him. Thus saith the
Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy
hand a man whom I appointed to utter
destruction, therefore' thy life shall go
for his life, and thy people for his people.
43 And the king of Israel went to his
house heavy** and displeased, and came
to Samaria.
. CHAPTER XXI.
jBLND it came to pass after these things,
that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard,
which ioas in Jezreel, hard by the palace
of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying,
Give* me thy vineyard, that I may have
it for a garden of herbs, because it is near
unto my house ; and I will give thee for it
a better vineyard than it; or, if it 'Jseem
good to thee, I will give thee the worth
of it in money.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord
forbid it me, that" I should give the in-
heritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 And Ahab came into his house '^ heavy
and displeased because of the word which
Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him ;
for he had said, I wDl not give thee the
inheritance of my fathers. And he laid
him down upon his bed, and turned away
his face, and would eat no bread.
5 But Jezebel his wife ca,me to him,
and said unto him. Why* is thy spirit
so sad, that thou eatest no bread ?
6 And he said unto her. Because I spake
unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto
him, Give me thy vineyard for money ;
or else, if it please thee, I will give thee
another vineyard for it : and he answered,
I will not give thee my vineyard.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him,
Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Is-
rael? Arise, and eat bread, and let thine
heart be merry: I* will give thee the

vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 So" she wrote letters in Ahab's name,
and sealed them with his seal, and sent the
letters unto the elders and to the nobles that
xoere in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying.
Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth ^ on high
among the people ;
10 And set two men, sons/ of Belial,
before him, to bear witness against him,
saying. Thou didst blaspheme^ God and
the king: and then carry him out, and
stone * him, that he may die.
11 And the men of his city, even the
elders and the nobles, who were the in-
habitants in his city, did as Jezebel had
sent unto them, and as it toas written in
the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 They proclaimed a fast,* and set
Naboth on high among the people.
13 And there came in two men, children
of Belial, and sat before him : and the men
of Belial witnessed" against him, even
against Naboth, in the presence of the
people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme
God and the king. Then* they carried
him forth out of the city, and stoned him
with stones, that he died.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying,
Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel
heard that Naboth was stoned, and was
dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise,
take* possession of the vineyard of Na-
both the Jezreelite, which he refused to
give thee for money: for Naboth is not
alive, but dead.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard
that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up
to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the
Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 And" the word of the Lord came
to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king
of Israel, which "" is in Samaria : behold,
he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither
he is gone down to possess it.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, say-
ing. Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou
killed, and also taken possession? And
thou shalt speak unto him, saying. Thus
saith the Lord, In^ the place where dogs
licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs
lick thy blood, even thine.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast* thou
found me, O mine enemy ? And he an-
swered, I have found thee; because thou
hast sold * thyself to work evil in the sight
of the Lord.
21 Behold, I** will bring evil upon thee,
and will take away thy posterity, and
will « cut off from Ahab him that pisseth
against the waU, and liim that is shut up
and left in Israel,
22 And will make thine house like the
house of Jeroboam/ the son of Nebat, and
like the house of Baasha«' the son of Ahijah,
for the provocation wherewith thou hast
provoked wje to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 And of Jezebel » also spake the
Lord, saying. The dogs shall eat Jeze-
bel by the ^ wall of Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city
the dogs shaU eat; and him that dieth in
the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 But* there was none like unto Ahab,
which did sell himself to work wicked-
ness in the sight of the Lord, whom Je-
zebel his wife " stirred up.*"

did the Amorites," Avhom the Lord cast
out before the children of Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard
those words, that* he rent his clothes, and
put« sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted,
and lay in sackcloth, and w^ent softly.
28 And the word of the LOED came
to Elijah the Tishbite, sajdng,
29 Seest thou how Ahab" humbleth
himself before me ? Because/ he humbleth
himself before me, I will not bring the
evil in^ his days; hut in* his son's days
will I bring the evil upon his house.
. CHAPTER XXII.
_A-ND they continued three years -with-
out war between Syria and Israel.
2 And' it came to pass, in the third
year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah
came down to the king of Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his
Bervants, Know ye that Ramoth"' in Gi-
lead is ours, and we he y still, and take it
not out of the hand of the king of Syria ?
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat," Wilt
thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-
gilead ? And Jehoshaphat said to the king
of Israel, 1° am as thou art, my people as
thy people, my horses as thy horses.
5 And Jehoshaphatsaid unto the king
of Israel, Inquire,? I pray thee, at the
word of the Lord to day.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the
prophets'" together, about four hundred
men, and said unto them. Shall I go agamst
Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear ?
And * they said, Gro up ; for the Lord
shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is^ there not
here a prophet of the Lord besides, that
we might inquire of him ?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Je-
hoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah
the son of Imlah, by whom we may in-
quire of the Lord : but I hate* him; for
fie doth not prophesy good concerning me,
but evil. And Jehoshaphat said. Let not
the king say so.
9 Then the king of Israel called an
'J officer, and said. Hasten hither Micaiah
the son of Imlah.
10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat
the king of Judah sat each on his throne,
having put on their robes, in a ^ void place
in the entrance of the gate of Samaria ; and
aU the prophets prophesied before them.
11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaa-
nah made him horns of iron : and he said,
Thus saith the Lord, With these shalt
thou push the Syrians, untU thou have
consumed them.
12 And" all the prophets prophesied so,
saying. Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and
prosper:" for the Lord shall deliver it
into the king's hand.
13 And the messenger that was gone to
call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Be-
hold now, the words of the prophets declare
good unto the king with one mouth : let
thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of
one of them, and speak that which is good.*^
14 And jMicaiah said, As the Lord
iiveth, what/ the Lord saith unto me,
that will I speak.
15 So he came to the king. And the
king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go
against Ramoth-gilead. to battle, or shall
we forbear? And he answered him. Go,

21 And there came forth a spirit, and
stood before the Lord, and said, I will
persuade him.
22 And the Lord said unto him,
Wherewith ? And he said, I will go forth,
and I win be a lying spirit in the mouth
of all his prophets. And he said. Thou
shalt persuade him, and prevail also : go
forth, and do so.
23 Now 9 therefore, behold, the Lord
hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of
all these thy prophets, and the Lord
hath spoken evQ concerning thee.
24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah
went near, and smote* Micaiah on the cheek,
and said, Which way went the Spirit of
the Lord from me to speak unto thee ?
25 And Micaiah said, Behold thou
shalt see in that day, when thou snalt go
5 into ^an inner chamber to hide thyself.
26 And the king of Israel said. Take
Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon
the governor of the city, and to Joash the
king's son;
27 And say. Thus saith the king. Put
this felloio in the prison,*" and feed him
with bread of affliction,* and with water
of afiliction, until I come in peace.
28 And Micaiah said, Ify thou return
at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken
by me. And he said,* Hearken, O peo-
ple, every one of you.
29 So the king of Israel, and Jehosha-
phat the king of Judah, went up to Ra-
moth-gilead.
30 And the king of Israel said unto
Jehoshaphat, '«I will disguise myself, and
enter into the battle ; but put thou on thy
robes. And the king of Israel* disguised
himself, and went into the battle.
31 But the king of Syria commandeo
his thirty and two captains that had rule
over his chariots, saying. Eight neither
with small nor great, save only with the
king of Israel.
32 And it came to pass, when the cap-
tains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat,
that they said. Surely it is the king of
Israel. And* they turned aside to fight
against him : and Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 And it came to pass, when the cap-
tains of the chariots perceived that it was
not the king of Israel, that they turned
back from pursuing him.
34 And a certain man drew a bow ^ at a
AhaVs death.

venture, and smote the king of Israel be-
tween the joints ^ of the harness : where-
fore he said unto the driver of his chariot,
Tum thine hand, and carry me out of the
host ; for I am 7 wounded.
35 And the battle ^increased that day;
and the king was stayed up in his chariot
against the Syrians, and died at even :
and the blood ran out of the wound into
the « midst of the chariot.
36 And there went a proclamation
throughout the host about the going down
of the sun, saying, Every <* man to his
city, and every man to his own country.
37 So the king died, and f was brought
to Samaria; and they buried the king in
Samaria.
38 And one washed the chariot in the
Eool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up
is blood; and they washed his armour;
according unto the word of the Loed
which he spake.*
39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab,
and all that he did, and the ivory-' house
which he made, and all the cities that he
built, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers ; and
Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
41 And*" Jehoshaphat the son of Asa
began to reign over Judah in the fourth
year of Ahab king of Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years
old when he began to reign ; and he
reigned twenty and five years in Jerusa-
lem. And his mother's name loas Azubah,
the daughter of Shilhi.
43 AndP he walked in all the ways
of Asa his father; he turned not aside
from it, doing that which tvas right in the
eyes of the Lord: nevertheless the high

people offered and burnt incense yet in
the high places.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace* with
the king of Israel.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehosha-
Ehat, and his might that he shewed, and
ow he warred, are they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Judah?
46 And the remnant of the*' sodomites,
which remained in the days of his father
Asa, he took out of the land.
47 There zoos then no king« in Edom:
a deputy was king.
48 Jehoshaphat >)made ships/ of Thar-
shishi/ to go to Ophir for gold; but they
went not; for the ships were broken at
Ezion-geber.*
49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab
unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go
with thy servants in the ships : but Jeho-
shaphat would not.
50 And* Jehoshaphat slept with his
fathers, and was buried with his fathers
in the city of David his father: and Je-
horam his son reigned in his stead.
51 Ahaziah' the son of Ahab began
to reign over Israel in Samaria the
seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king
of Judah, and reigned two years over
Israel.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the
Lord, and walked in the way" of his
father, and in the way of his mother,
and in the way of Jeroboam « the son of
Nebat, who made Israel to sin :
53 For he served Baal, 9 and worship-
ped him, and provoked to anger the
Lord G-od of Israel, according to all
that his father had done.
The Second Book of the KINGS, commonly called
The Tourth Book of the KINGS.
rn CHAPTER I.
JLHEN Moab rebelled" against Israel
after the death of Ahab.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through a
lattice in his upper chamber that toas in
Samaria, and was sick: and he sent mes-
sengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire
of Eaal-zebub the god of'' Ekron, whether
I shall recover"^ of this disease.
3 But the angel of the Lord said to
Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet
the messengers of the king of Samaria, and
say unto them, Is it not because there is
not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire
of Baal-zebub* the god of Ekron ?
4 Now, therefore, thus saith the Lord,
vThou shalt not come down from that
bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt
Burely die. And Elijah departed.
5 And when the messengers turned
back unto liim, he said unto them, Why
are ye now turned back ?
6 And they said unto him. There came
a man up to meet us, and saia unto us, Go,
turn again unto the king that sent you,
and say unto him. Thus* saith the Lord, Is
it not because there is not a God in Israel,
that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub
the god of Ekron? therefore* thou shalt

7 And he said unto them, ^ What man-
ner of man toas he which came up to meet
you, and told you these words ?
8 And they answered him, Se'' toas
an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of
leather about his loins. And he said. It
is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 Then the king sent unto him a captain
of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to
him ; and, behold, he sat on the top of an
hill. And he spake unto him. Thou man
of God, the king hath said. Come down.
10 And Elijah answered and said to
the captain of fifty. If I ie a man of God,
then let fire/ come down from heaven,
and consume thee and thy fifty. And
there came 5' down fire from heaven, and''
consumed him and his fifty.
11 Again also he sent unto him ano-
ther captain of fifty with his fifty. And
he answered and said unto him, O man
of God, thus hath the king said. Come
down quickly.
12 And EUjah answered and said unto
them. If I Z»e a man of God, let fire come
down from heaven, and consume thee and
thy fifty. And the fire of God came down

13 And he sent again a captain of the
third fifty with his fifty. And the third
captain of fifty went up, and came and V fell "
on his knees before Elijah, and besought
him, and said unto him, O man of Grod, I
pray thee, let my life, and the Kfe of these
fifty thy servants, be precious « in thy sight.
14 Behold, there camC^ fire down from
heaven, and bui'nt up the two captains of the
former fifties with their fifties: therefore
let my hfe now be precious in thy sight.
15 And the angel of the Loed said
unto Ehjah, Gro down with him : be not
afraid of him. And he arose, and went
down with him unto the king.
16 And he said unto him. Thus saith
the Loed, Forasmuch/ as thou hast sent
messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the
god of Ekron, is it not because there is
no God in Israel to inquire of his word?
therefore thou shalt not come down oif
that bed on which thou art gone up, but
shalt surely die.
17 So he died, according to the word of the
Loed, which Ehjah had spoken: and ^Je-
horam reigned in his stead, in the second
year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat
king of Judah ; because he had no son.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah
which he did, are they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
. CHAPTER IL
And it came to pass, when the Loed
would take'^ up Elijah into heaven by a
whirlwind, that Ehjah went with' Ehsha
from Gilgal.
2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry
here, I pray thee ; for the Loed hath sent
me to Beth-el. And Ehsha said tmto him.
As"' the Loed hveth, and as"* thy soul
Hveth, I will not leave thee. So they
went down to Beth-el.
3 And the sons" of the prophets that
tvere at Beth-cl came forth to Ehsha, and
said unto him, Eiiowest thou that the
Loed win take away thy master from
thy head to day? Aiid he said, Yea, I
know it ; hold ye your peace.
4 And Ehjah said unto him, Ehsha, tarry
here, I pray thee ; for the Loed hath sent
ine to Jericho. And he said, As the Loed
hveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not
leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
5 And the sons of the prophets that
tvere at Jericho came to Ehsha, and said
unto him, Knowest thou that the Loed
will take away thy master from thy head
to day? And he answered. Yea, I know
it ; hold ye your peace.
6 And Ehjah said unto him, Tarry, I
pray thee, here; for the Loed hath sent
me to Jordan. And he said, As the Loed
liveth, and as thy soul hveth, I will not
leave thee. And they two went on.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the pro-
phets went, and stood ^to view afar off:
and they two stood by Jordan.
8 And Elijah took his mantle,*' and wrap-
ped it together, and smote the waters, and""
they were divided hither and thither, so
that they two went over on dry ground.
9 And it came to pass, when they were
gone over, that Elijah said unto Ehsha,
Ask what I sliall do for thee, before I be
taken away from thee. And Ehsha said,
I pray thee, let^ a double portion of thy
spirit be upon me.

10 And he said, Thpu hast P asked a hard
thing: nevertheless, if thou see me lohen
I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto
thee ; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still
went on, and talked, that, behold, there ap-
peared a chariot* of fire, and horses of fire,
and parted them, both asunder ; and Ehjah
went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 Aiid Ehsha saw it, and he cried,* My
father, my father! the chariot of Israel,
and the horsemen thereof And he saw
him no more : and he took hold of his own
clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Ehjah
that fell from him, and went back, and
stood by the ^ bank of Jordan ;
14 And he took the mantle of Ehjah that
fell from him, and smote the waters, and said.
Where is the Loed God of Ehjah? And
when he also had smitten the waters,^' they
parted hither and thither : & EHsha went over.
15 And when the sons of the prophets,
which loere to view* at Jericho, saw him,
they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on
Ehsha. And they came to meet him, and
bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 And they said unto him, Behold now,
there be with thy servants fifty >? strong
men ; let them go, we pray thee, and seek
thy master; lest peradventure the' Spirit
of the Loed hath taken him up, and cast
him upon ^some mountain, or into some
valley. And he said. Ye shall not send.
17 And when they urged him till he
was ashamed, he said. Send. They sent,
therefore, fifty men ; ^ and they sought
three days, but found him not.
18 And when they came again to him,
(for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto
them. Did I not say unto you. Go not ?
19 And the men of the city said unto Ehsha,
Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this
city is pleasant, as my lord seeth : but the
water is naught, and the ground " barren.
20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse,
and put salt therein. And they brought
it to him.
21 And he went forth unto the spring of
the waters, and cast the salt^ in there, and
said. Thus saith the Loed, I have i healed
these waters ; there shall not be from
thence any more death or barren •* land.
22 So the waters were healed unto this
daj^, according to the saying of Ehsha
which he spake.
23 And he went up from thence unto
Beth-el : and as he was going up by the way,
there came forth httle children « out of the
city, and mocked' him, and said unto him, Go
up, thou bald head ; go up, thou bald head.
24 And he turned back, and looked on
them, and cursed" them in the name of
the Loed. And there came forth two
she bears out of the wood, and tare forty
and two children of them.
25 And he went from thence to mount
Carmel; and from thence he returned to
Samaria.
^-r- CHAPTER III.
JM OW* Jehoram the son of Ahab began
to reign over Israel in Samaria the eight-
eenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah,
and reigned twelve years.
2 And he wrought evil in the sight of
the Loed ; but not like his father, and Hke
his mother; for he put away the /* image
of* Baal that his father had made.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the " sins

of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made
Israel to sin ; he departed not therefrom.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-
master, aud« rendered unto the king of
Israel an hundred thousand lambs,* and
an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5 But*' it came to pass, when Ahab was
dead, that the king of Moab rebelled
against the king of Israel.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria
the same time, and numbered all Israel.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat
the king of Judah, saying. The king of
Moab hath rebelled against me : wilt
thou go with me against Moab to battle?
And he said, I wiU go up :/ I am as thou
art, my people as thy people, a)id my
horses as thy horses.
8 And he said, Which way shall we go
up? And he answered, The way through
the wilderness of Edom.
9 So the king of Israel went, and the
king of Judah, and the king of Edom : and
they fetched a compass of seven days' jour-
ney : and there was no water for the host,
and for the cattle ^that followed them,
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas!
that the Lord hath called these three
kings together, to deliver them into the
hand of Moab !
11 But' Jehoshaphat said, Is there not
here a prophet of the Lord, that we may
inquire of the Loed by him ? And one of
the king of Israel's servants answered and
said. Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat,
which poured" water on the hands of Ehjah.
12 And Jehoshaphat said. The word of
the Lord is vnth him. So the king of
Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of
Edom, went down to him.
13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel,
What? have I to do with thee? gef thee
to the prophets* of thy father, and to the
frophets of thy mother. And the king of
srael said unto him, Nay: for the Lord
hath called these three kings together,
to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
14 And Elisha said, As^ the Lord of
hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely,
were"" it not that I regard the presence of
Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would
not look toward thee, nor see thee.
15 But now bring me a minstrel.* And it
came to pass when the minstrel played, that
the handy of the Lord came upon him.
16 And he said. Thus saith the Lord,
Make* this valley full of ditches :
17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shaU
not see wind, neither shall ye see rain ;
yet that valley shall be filled with water,
that ye may drink, both ye, and your
cattle, and your beasts.
^ 18 And this is but a light thing in the
sight of the Lord: he will deliver the
Moabites also into your hand.
19 And ye shall smite every fenced city,
and every choice city, and shall fell every
good tree,<^ and stop all wells of water, and
^ mar every good piece of land with stones.
20 And it came to pass in the morning,
when the meat offering « was offered, that,
behold, there came water by the way of
Edom, and the country was filled with water,
21 And when all the Moabites heard
that the kings were come up to fight
against them, they "gathered all that
were able to put ^on armour, and up-
ward, and stood in the border.
22 And they rose up early in the morn-

ing, and the sun shone upon the water,
and the Moabites saw the water on the
other side as red as blood :
23 And they said. This is blood : the kings
are surely ^ slain, and they have smitten one
another : now therefore, Moab, to the spoil,
24 And when they came to the camp of
Israel, the Israehtes rose up and smote
the Moabites, so that they fled before
them : but they V went forward smiting
the Moabites, even in their country.
25 And they beat down<^ the cities, and
on every good piece of land cast every
man his stone, and filled it; and they
stopped* all theweUs of water, and felled
all the good trees : 5 only in Kir-haraseth
left^ they the stones thereof: howbeit, the
slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that
the battle was too sore for him, he took
with him seven hundred men that drew
swords, to break through even unto the
king of Edom : but they could not.
27 Then he took his eldest son,* that
should have reigned in his stead, and
offered him for a burnt offering' upon the
wall. And there was great indignation
against Israel: and they departed from
him, and* returned to their oion land.
■^y CHAPTER IV.
JM OW there cried a certain woman of
the wives of the sons'" of the prophets
unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my hus-
band is dead ; and thou knowest that thy
servant did fear the Lord: and the*
creditor is come to take unto him my two
sons to be bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall
I do for thee ? tell me : what hast thou in
the house ? And she said. Thine handmaid
hath not^ any thing in the house, save a
pot of oil.
3 Then he said. Go,* borrow thee ves-
sels abroad of all thy neighbours, even
empty vessels ; v borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt
shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons,
and" shalt pour out into all those vessels,
and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door
upon her and upon her sons, who brought
the vessels to her ; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels
were full, that she said unto her son, Bring
me yet a vessel : and he said unto her, There
is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 Then she came and told the man of
Grod: and he said, Gro, sell the oU, and
pay thy ^debt, and live thou and thy
children of the rest.
8 And i^it feU on a day, that Elisha
passed to Shunem," where toas a great
woman; and she ^constrained him to eat
bread. And so it was, that, as oft as he pass-
ed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9 And she said unto her husband. Behold
now, I perceive * that this is an holy man
of G-od which passeth by us continually.
10 Lef* us make a little chamber, I pray
thee, on the wall ; and let us set for him
there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and
a candlestick : and it shaU be, when he
cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
11 And it fell on a day that he came
thither, and he turned into the chamber,
and lay there.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant.
Call this Shunammite. And when he had
called her, she stood before him.

The Shunammite's son restored.

13 And he said unto him. Say now unto
her, Behold, thou hast been careful* for us
with all this care ; what is to be done for
thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the
king, or to the captain of the host ? And she
answered, I dwell among mine own people.
14 And he said, What then is to be done
for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily
she hath no chUd, and her husband is old.
15 And he said, Call her. And when
he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 And he said. About "^ this 7 season,
according to the time of life, thou shalt
embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my
lord, thou man of God, do" not lie unto
thine handmaid.
17 And the woman conceived,/ and bare
a son at that season that Elisha had said
unto her, according to the time of life.
18 And when the child was grown, it
fell on a day, that he went out to his fa-
ther to the reapers.
19 And he said unto his ^ father, My
head, my head! And he said to a lad,
Carry him to his mother.
20 And when he had taken him, and
brought him to his mother, he sat on her
knees till noon, and then died.
21 And she went up, and laid him on
the bed of the man of God, and shut the
door upon him, and went out.
22 And she called unto her husband, and
said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the
young men, and one of the asses, that I may
run to the man of God, and come again.
23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go
to him to day ? it is neither new moon" nor
Babbath. And she said, It shall he ^ well.
24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to
her servant. Drive, and go forward ; f slack
not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
25 So she went, and came unto the man
of God to mount Carmel.*" And it came to
pass, when the man of God saw her afar
oif, that he said to Gehazi his servant,
Behold, yonder is that Shunammite ;
26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her;
and say unto her. Is it well with thee ? is
it well with thy husband? is it well with
the child? And she answered, It is* well.
27 And when she came to the man of
God to the hill, she caught him " by the
feet : but Gehazi came near to thrust
her away." And the man of God said,
Let her alone; for her soul is -^ vexed
witliin her: and the Lord hath hid** it
from me, and hath not told me.
28 Then she said. Did I desire a son of my
lord ? did I not say,y Do not deceive me ?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird* up
thy loins, and take my staff in thine
hand, and go thy way : if thou meet any
man, salute" him not; and if any salute
thee, answer him not again : and lay my
staff* upon the face of the child.
30 And the mother of the child said, As
the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth,
I will not leave thee. And he arose, and
followed her.
31 And Gehazi passed on before them,
and laid the staff upon the face of the
child; but there was neither voice nor
T hearing : wherefore he went again to
meet him, and told him, saying, The
child is not awaked. «
32 And when Elisha was come into the
house, behold, the child was dead, and
laid upon his bed.
33 He went in therefore, and shut* the

34 And he went up, and lay upon the
child, and put his mouth upon his mouth,
and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands
upon his hands ; and " he stretched him-
self upon the child, and the flesh of the
child waxed warm.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the
house ^to and fro; and went up, and
stretched himself upon him : and the child
sneezed seven times, and the child opened
his eyes.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said,
Call this Shunammite. So he called her.
And when she was come in unto him, ho
said. Take up thy son.
37 Then she went in, and fell at his
feet, and bowed herself to the ground,
and took £' up her son, and went out.
38 And EHsha came again to * Gilgal :
and there was a dearth' in the land;* and
the sons of the prophets toere ^ sitting be-
fore him : and he said unto his servant.
Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage
for the sons of the prophets.
39 And one went out into the field to
gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and
gathered thereof wUd"* gourds his lap
fuU, and came and shred them into the
pot of pottage : for they knew them not.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat :
and it came to pass, as they were eating
of the pottage, that they cried out, and
said, O thou man of God, there is death in
the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
41 But he said, Then bring meal." And
he cast it into the pot ; and he said. Pour
out for the people, that they may eat.
And there was no ^ harm in the pot.
42 And there came a man from Baal-
shalisha,? and brought « the man of God
bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of
barley, and full ears of corn ^ in the husk
thereof. And he said, Give unto the peo-
ple, that they may eat.
43 And his servitor said. What,* should
I set this before an hundred men? He
said again, Give the people, that they
may eat: for thus saith the Loed,« They
shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
44 So he set it before them, and they
did eat, and left thereof according to the
word of the Lord.
n.y CHAPTER V.
JM OW Naaman,* captain of the host of
the king of Syria, was a great man i^ with
his master, and »' honourable, because by
him the Lord had given ^deliverance
unto Syria: he was also a mighty man
in valour ; but he loas & leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out by
companies, and had brought away captive
out of the land of Israel a little maid;
and she ^ waited on Naaman's wife.
3 And she said unto her mistress,
Would God my lord tvere P with the pro-
phet that is in Samaria! for he would
«■ recover him of his leprosy.
4 And one went in, and told his lord,
saying, Thus and thus said the maid that
is of the land of Israel.
5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go,
and I wUl send a letter unto the king of
Israel. And<^ he departed, and took <}> with
him ten talents of silver, and six thousand
pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
6 And he brought the letter to the king
of Israel, saying. Now, when this letter is
Cure of Nciaman^s leprosy.
come unto tliee, beliold, I have therewith
Bent Naaman my servant to thee, that
thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.
7 And it came to pass, when" the king of
Israel had read the letter, that he rent his
clothes, and said. Am I* God, to kill* and
to make alive, that this man doth send un-
to me to recover a man of his leprosy?
Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see
how he seeketh^ a quarrel against me.
8 And it was so, when Elisha the man
of God had heard that the king of Israel
had rent his clothes, that he sent to the
king, saying. Wherefore hast thou rent
thy clothes ? let him come now to me, and
he shall know/ that there is a prophet in
Israel.
9 So Naaman came with his horses and
with his chariot, and stood at the door of
the house of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto
him, saying. Go and wash* in Jordan
seven' times, and thy flesh shall come
again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went
away, and said, Behold, I ^thought, He"'
will surely come out to me, and stand
and call on the name of the Lord his
God, and *? strike his hand over the place,
and recover the leper.
12 Are not ^ Abana and Pharpar, rivers of
Damascus, better than all the waters of Is-
rael ? may I not wash in them, and be clean ?
So he turned, and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and
spake unto him, and said, My? father,
if the prophet had bid thee do some great
thing, wouldest thou not have done if?
how much rather then, when he saith
to thee. Wash, and be clean ?
14 Then* went he down, and dipped
liimself seven times in Jordan, according
to the saying of the man of God : and
his flesh came again like" unto the flesh
of a little child, and he was clean."
15 And he returned to the man of God,
he and all his company, and came and
stood before him: and he said. Behold,
now I knoW" that there is no God in all
the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I
pray thee, take a blessing* of thy servant.
16 But he said, Asv the Loed liveth,
before whom I stand, I will receive none.*'
And he urged him to take it; but he
refused.
17 And Naaman said, Shall there not
then, I pray thee, be given to thy ser-
vant two mules' burden of earth? for
thy servant will henceforth offer neither
burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other
gods, but* unto the Loed.
18 In this thing the Loed pardon thy
servant, that when my master goeth into
the house of Eimmon to worship there, and
he leaneth** on my hand, and I bow m)'-
self in the house of Bimmon ; when I bow
down" myself in the house of Eimmon, the
Loed pardon/ thy servant in this thing.
19 And he said unto him, Gos' in peace.
So he departed from him a little i^ way.
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the
man of God, said. Behold, my master
hath spared Naaman thia Syrian, in not
receiving at his hands that which he
brought: but, as the Loed liveth, I wiU
run after him, and take* somewhat of
him.
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman.
And when JSaaman saw Mm running after

him, he lighted down from the chariot to
meet him, and said, ^ Is all well ?
22 And he said. All is well. My master
hath sent me, saying. Behold, even now
there be come to me from mount Ephraim
two yoimg men of the sons of the pro-
phets : give them, I pray thee, a talent of
silver, and two changes of garments.
23 And Naaman said, Be*^ content, take
two talents. And he urged liim, and
bound two talents of silver in two bags,
with two changes of garments, and laid
them upon two of his servants ; and they
bare them before him.
24 And when he came to the y tower,
he took them from their hand, and be-
stowed s' them in the house: and he let
the men go, and they departed.
25 But he went in, and stood ^ before
his master. And Elisha said unto him.
Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he
said. Thy servant went 5 no whither.
26 And he said unto him. Went* not
mine heart tvith thee, when the man
turned again from his chariot to meet
thee ? Is it a time to receive money, and
to receive garments, and oliveyards, and
vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-
servants, and maidservants ?
27 The leprosy therefore'* of Naaman
shaU cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed
for ever. And he went out from his pre-
sence a leper" as white as snow.
i CHAPTER VI.
ii.ND the sons^ of the prophets said un-
to Ehsha, Behold now, the place where
we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan,
and take thence every man a beam, and
let us make us a place there, where we
may dwell. And he answered. Go ye.
3 And one said, Be' content, I pray
thee, and go with thy servants. And lie
answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when
they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the '^ axe
head fell into the water : and he cried, and
said, Alas, master ! for it was borrowed.
6 And the man of God said, Where
fell it? And he shewed him the place.
And* he cut down a stick, and cast it in
thither ; and the iron did swim.
7 Therefore said he. Take it up to thee.
And he put out his hand, and took it.
8 Then the king of Syria warred against
Israel, and took counsel with his servants,
saying. In such and such a place shall he
my ^ camp.
9 And the man of God sent unto the
king of Israel, saying. Beware that thou
pass not such a place; for thither the
Syrians are come down.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the
place which the man of God told him
and warned him of, and*^ saved himself
there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of
Syria was sore troubled* for this thing;
and he called his servants, and said unto
them. Will ye not shew me which of us
is for the king of Israel ?
12 And one of his servants said, "None,
my lord, O king: but' Elisha, the pro-
phet that is in Israel, telleth the king of
Israel the words that thou speakest in
thy bedchamber.'
13 And he said. Go and spy where he
is, that I may send »* and fetch him. And

33 And he said, Throw her down. So
they threw her down: and some of her
blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on
the horses : and he trode her under foot.
34 And when he was come in, he did
eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this
cursed tvoman, and bury her: for she is
a king's daughter. *
35 And they went to bury her ; but ' they
found no more of her than the skull, and
the feet, and the palms of he)' hands.
36 Wherefore they came again, and told
him. And he said. This is the word of the
LoED, which he spake ^ by his servant Eli-
jah tlie Tishbite, saying, » In the portion of
Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel :
37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be
as clung « upon the face of the field in the
portion of Jezreel ; so that they shall not
sa)'. This is Jezebel.

-tLND Ahab had seventy sons in Sama-
ria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to
Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to
the elders, and to ^ them that brought up
Ahab's children, saying, _
2 Now, as soon as this letter cometh to
you, seeing your master's sons are with
you, and there are with you chariots and
horses, a fenced city also, and armour ;
3 Look even out thebestandmeetestof your
master's sons, and set him on his father's
throne, and fight for your master's house.
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and
said, Behold, two* kings stood not before
him : how then shall we stand ?
5 And he that tuas over the house, and
he that toas over the citj'-, the elders also,
and the bringers up of the children, sent
to Jehu, saying, We 2' are thy servants,
and will do all that thou shalt bid us ; we
will not make any king: do thou tJiat
xvhich is good in thine eyes.
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time
to them, saying. If ye he "^ mine, and if ye
will hearken unto my voice, take ye the
heads of the men your master's sons, and
come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this
time. (Now the king's sons, leing seventy
persons, ivere with the great men of the
city, which brought them up.)
7 And it came to pass, when the letter
came to them, that they took the king's
sons, and slew " _ seventy '^ persons, and
put their heads « in baskets, and sent him
them to Jezreel.
8 And there came a messenger, and
told him, saying, They have brought the
heads of the king's sons. And he said.
Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering
in of the gate until the morning.

' all the people, Ye he righteous : behold,
I« conspired against my master, and
slew him : but who slew all these ?
10 Know now that there shall fall " unto
the earth nothing of the word of the Loed,
which the Loed spake'' concerning the
house of Ahab : for the Loed hath done
tJiat which he spake 7 by his servant Elijah.
11 So Jehu slew all that remained of the
house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great
men, and his ^kinsfolks,/ and his priests,
until i> he left him none remaining.
12 And he arose and departed, and
came to Samaria. And as he ivas at the
sshearing house in the way,
13 Jehu ^ met with the brethren of Aha-
ziah king of Judah, and said. Who are ye ?
And they ansAvered, AVe are the brethren
of Ahaziah; and we go down to ''salute
the children of the king, and the children
of the queen.
14 And he said. Take them alive. '' And
they* took them alive, and slew them at
the pit of the shearing house, even two and
forty men : neither left he any of them.
15 And when he was departed thence, he
^lighted on Jehouadab™ the son of Re-
chab, " coming to meet him : and he M saluted
him, and said to him. Is thine heart right,
as my heart is with thy heart ? And Jeho-
nadab answered, It is. If it be, give^ me
thine hand. And he gave Mm his hand : and
he took him up to him into the chariot.
16 And he said. Come with me, and see
my zeal*] for the Lord. So they made
him ride in his chariot.
17 And when he came to Samaria, he
slew aU* that remained unto Ahab in
Samaria, till he had destroyed him, ac-
cording to the saying of the Loed, which
he si)ake* to Elijah.
18 And Jehu gathered all the people toge-
ther, and said unto them, Ahab " served Baal
a little, but Jehu shall serve him much.
19 Now therefore call unto me all the pro-
phets" of Baal, all his servants, and all his
priests ; let none be wanting : for I have
a great sacrifice to do to Baal: whosoever
shall be wanting, he shall not live. But
Jehu did it in subtilty, '^ to the intent that
he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 And Jehu said, P Proclaim a solemn as-
sembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
21 And Jehu sent through all Israel;
and all the worshippers of Baal came, so
that there was not a man left that came
not. And they came into the house* of
Baal; and the house of Baal was o'full
from one end to another.
22 And he said unto him that toas over
the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all
the worshippers of Baal. And he brought
them forth vestments.
23 And Jehu went, and« Jehonadab
the son of Eechab, into the house of Baal,
and said unto the worshippers of Baal,
Search, and look that there be here with
jon none of the servants of the Loed,
but * the worshippers of Baal only.
24 And when they went in to offer sacri-
fices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed
fourscore men without, and said. If any
of the men whom I have brought into
your hands escape, he that letteth him go,
his/ life shall he for the life of him.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he-
had made an end of offering the burnt
offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to
the captains, Go in, and slays' them; let
JeTiuHs inconsistenc!/.

none come forth. And they smote them
with the ^ edge of the sword ; and the
guard and the captains cast them out, and
went to the city of the house of Baal,
26 And they brought forth the V images *
out of the house of Baal, and burned « them.
27 And they brake down the image of
Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and''
made it a draught house unto this day,
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Howbeit, from the sins of Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, who made Israel to
sin, Jehu departed not from after them,
to wit, the golden calves / that tvere in
Beth-el, and that were in Dan.
30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, Be-
cause^ thou hast done well in executing
that tohich is right in mine eyes, and hast
done unto the house of Ahab according
to all that teas in mine heart, thy children
of the fourth™ generation shall sit on the
throne of Israel.
31 But Jehu V took no heed to walk in the
law of the Lord G-od of Israel with all his
heart:" for he departed not from the^ sins
of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
32 In those days the Lord began ^to
cut Israel short: and Hazael'' smote them
in all the coasts of Israel ;
33 From Jordan " eastward, all the land
of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Keubenites,
and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is
by the river Arnon, ^even Gilead' and
Bashan.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and
all that he did, and all his might, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles
of the kings of Israel ?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers ;
and they buried him in Samaria. And
Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
36 And M'the time that Jehu reigned
over Israel in Samaria toas twenty and
eight years.
. CHAPTER XI.
JLND* when Athaliah, the mother" of
Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she
arose, and destroyed all the ^ seed royal.
2 But ^ Jehosheba, the daughter of king
Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took ^Joash
the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from
among the king's sons tvhich were slain;
and they hid him, even him and his nurse,
in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that
he was not slain.
3 And he was with her hid in the house
of the Lord six years. And Athaliah
did reign over the land.
4 And* the seventh year Jehoiada sent
and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with
the captains and the guard, and brought
them to him into the house of the Lord,
and made a covenant with them, and
took an oath of them in the house of the
Lord, and shewed them the king's son.
5 And he commanded them, saying.
This is the thing that ye shall do ; a third
part of you that enter in on the sabbath
shall even be keepers of the watch * of the
king's house ;
6 And a third part shall he at the gate of
Sur; and a third part at the gate behind
the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of
the house, parts of all you that go forth
on the sabbath, even they shall keep the
watch of the house of the Lord about
the king.

about, every man with his weapons in his
hand : and he that cometli within the ran-'
ges, let him be slain: and be ye with the
king as he goeth out, and as he cometh in.
9 And the captains " over the hundreds did
according to all things that Jehoiada the
priest commanded: and they took every
man his men that were to come in on the
sabbath, with them that should go out on
the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 And to the captains over hundreds
did the priest give king David's spears and
shields,* that were in the temple of the Lord.
11 And the guard stood, every man with
his weapons in his hand, round about the
king, from the right ^corner of the tem-
ple, to the left corner of the temple, along
by the altar and the temple.
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and
put the crown* upon him, and.\gave him the
testimony: and they made him king, and
anointed * him ; and they clapped ' their
hands, and said, f God" save the king. _
13 And when Athahah heard the noise of
the guard and of the people, she came to
the people into the temple of the Lord.
14 And when she looked, behold, the king
stood 9 by a pillar, as the manner ioas, and
the princes and the trumpeters by the king,
and all the people of the land rejoiced, ana
blew « with trumpets : and Athaliah rent
her clothes, and cried. Treason, Treason !
15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded
the captains of the hundreds, the officers
of the host, and said unto them. Have
her forth " without the ranges ; and him
that followeth her kill v/ith the sword.
For the priest had said, Let her not be
slain in the house " of the Lord.
16 And they laid hands on her : and
she went by the way by the which the
horses came into the king's house: and
there was she slain. "*
17 And Jehoiada made a covenant* be-
tween the Lord and the king and the peo-
ple, that they should be the Lord's 2/ peo-
ple ; between the king also and the people.
18 And all the people of the land went
into the house* of Baal, and brake it
down; his altars and his images* brake
they in pieces thoroughly, and slew'' Mat-
tan the priest of Baal before the altars.
And the priest appointed P officers over
the house of the Lord.
19 And he took the rulers over hun-
dreds, and the captains, and the guard,
and all the people of the land; and they
brought down the king from the house of
the Lord, and came by the way of the
gate of the guard to the king's house.
And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 And all the people of the land re-
joiced,/ and the city was in quiet : and
they slew Athaliah with the sword beside
the king's house.
21 Seven years old toas Jehoash when
he began to reign.
y CHAPTER XIL
JlN ff the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash
began to reign ; and forty years reigned
he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name
ioas Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 And Jehoash did that which ^fn-^ right in
the sight of the Lord all his days where-
in Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 But* the high places were not taken
away : the people still sacrificed and burnt
incense in the high places.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All
^eign of Jehoash.
2 KINGS, XIII.
Wicked reign of JeJioahaz.
the money of the ^dedicated things that
is brought into the house of the Lord,
even the money « of every one that pass-
eth the account, the money ^ that every
man is set at, and all the money that
^Cometh into any man's heart <^ to bring
into the house of the Lord,
5 Let the priests take it to them, every
man of his acquaintance ; and let them
repair the breaches of the house, where-
soever any breach shall be found.
6 But it was so, that, ^in the three and
twentieth year of king Jehoash, the priests
had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Then/^ king Jehoash called for Jehoia-
da the priest, and the other priests, and said
imto them, Why repair ye not the breaches
of the house ? Now, therefore, receive no
vioy money of your acquaintance, but
deliver it for the breaches of the house.
8 And the priests consented to receive
no moi^e money of the people, neither to
repair the breaches of the house.
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest,
and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set
it beside the altar, on the right side as
one Cometh into the house of the Lord :
and the priests that kept ^the door put
therein ail the money that toas brought
into the house of the Lord.
10 And it was so, when they saw that
there loas much money in the chest, that
the king's "scribe and the high priest
came up, and they pput up in bags, and
told the money that was found in the
house of the Lord.
11 And they gave the mone}';, being told,
into the hands of them that did the work,
that had the oversight of the house of
the Lord : and they ^ laid it out to the
carpenters and builders, that wrought
upon the house of the Lord,
12 And to masons, and hewers of stone,
and to buy timber and hewed stone to
repair the breaches of the house of the
Lord, and for all that ^ was laid out
for the house to repair it.
13 Howbeit, there were not made for the
house of the Lord bowls of silver, snuf-
fers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold,
or vessels of silver, of the money that
was brought into the house of the Lord :
14 But they gave that to the workmen,
and repaired therewith the house of the
Lord.
15 Moreover, they' reckoned not with
the men into whose hand they delivered
the money to be bestowed on workmen :
for they dealt faithfully.
16 The trespass money* and sin money
was not brought into the house of the
Lord : it' was the priests'.
17 Then" Hazael king of Syria went up,
and fought against Gath, and took it : and
Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 And Jehoash king of Judah took^ all
the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat,
and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fatners,
kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his
own hallowed things, and all the gold
that was found in the treasures of the
house of the Lord, and in the king's
house, and sent it to Hazael king of Sy-
ria : and he went ^ away from Jerusalem.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joash,
and aU that he did, are they not written

16 Thus did Urijah the priest, accord-

17 And'' king Ahaz cut off' the borders
of the bases, and removed the laver from
otr them; and took down the sea from off
the brazen oxen that ivere under it, and
put it upon a pavement of stones :
18 And the covert for the sabbath that
they had built in the house, and the king's
entry without, turned he from the house
of the Loed for the king of Assyria.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which
he did, are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers,
and/ was buried with his fathers in the
city of David: and Hezekiah his son
reigned in his stead.
^ CHAPTER XVIL
JLN the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Ju-
dah began' Hoshea the sou of Elah to
reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 And he did that which tvas evil in the
sight of the Loed, but not as the kings
of Israel that were before him.
3 Against* him came up Shalmaneser
king of Ass)'ria; and Hoshea became liis
servant, and V gave him ^ presents.
4 And the king of Assyria found con-
spiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent mes-
sengers to So king of Egypt, and brought
no present to the king of Assyria, as he
had done year by year : therefore the king
of Assyria shut him up, and bound him
in prison.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up
throughout all the land, and went up to
Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 In" the ninth year of Hoshea the king
of Assyria took Samaria, and" carried Is-
rael away into Assyria, and placed them
in Halah5 and in Habor hy the river of
Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 Eor so it was, that the children of
Israel had sinned against the Loed their
God, which had brought them up out of
the land of Egypt, from under the hand
of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared
other gods,
8 And wplked'' in the statutes of the
heathen, whom the Loed cast out from
before the children of Israel, and of the
kings of Israel, which they had made.
9 And the children of Israel did^ se-
cretly those things that loere not right
against the Loed their God, and they
built them high places in all their cities,
from" the tower of the watchmen to the
fenced citj'.
10 And"" they set them up ^images and
groves* in 2' every high hill, and under
every green tree :
11 And there they burnt incense in all
the high places, as did the heathen M'hom
the Loed carried away before them ; and
wrought wicked things to provoke the
Loed to anger :
12 For they served idols, whereof the
Loed had said" unto them. Ye shall not
do this thing.
13 Yet the Loed testified against Israel,
and against Judah, ^by all the prophets,
and hy all the seers, saying,'' Turn ye from
your evil ways, and keep my command-
I ments and my statutes, according to all
The Israelites carried captive.
2 KINGS, XVIII.
The Samaritans' idolatry.
the law which I commanded your fathers,
and which I sent to you by my servants
the prophets.
14 Notwithstanding, they would not
hear, but hardened* their necks, like to
the neck of their fathers, that did not be-
lieve in the Lord their God.
15 And they rejected'' his statutes, and
his covenant * that he made with their fa-
thers, and his testimonies/ Avhich he tes-
tified against them; and they followed
vanity,^ and became vain, ' and went after
the heathen that ivere round about them,
concerning whom the Lord had charged'
them, that they should not do like them.
16 And they left all the commandments
of the Lord their God, and made them
molten" images, even two calves," and
made a grove, ^ and worshipped all the
host of heaven,'' and served Baal.*
17 And they caused their sons and their
daughters to pass* through the fire, and
used divination and enchantments," and
sold* themselves to do evil in the sight
of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
18 Therefore the Lord was very angry
with Israel, and removed them out of his
sight : there was none left but "* the tribe
of Judah only.
19 Also y Judah kept not the command-
ments of the Lord their God, but walked
in the statutes of Israel which they made.
20 And the Lord rejected* all the seed
of Israel, and afilicted them, and'' deli-
vered them into the hand of spoilers, un-
til he had cast them out of his sight.
21 For* he rent Israel from the house
of David; and they made Jeroboam, the
son of Nebat, king : ^ and Jeroboam 9 drave
Israel from following the Lord, and
made them sin a great sin.
22 For the children of Israel walked in
all the sins of Jeroboam which he did ;
they departed not from them ;
23 Until the Lord removed Israel out
of his sight, as he had said-' by all his
servants the prophets. So* was Israel
carried away out of their own land to
Assyria unto this day.
24 And' the king of Assyria brought
men from Babylon, »* and from Cuthah,
and from Ava," and from Hamath, and
from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the
cities of Samaria, instead of the children
of Israel : and they possessed Samaria,
and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 And so it was, at the beginning of
their dwelling there, that they feared
not the Lord ; therefore the Lord sent «
lions among them, which slew some of
them.
26 Wlierefore they spake to the king of
Assyria, saying, The nations which thou
hast removed, and placed in the cities of
Samaria, know not the manner of the
God of the land : therefore he hath sent
lions among them, and, behold, they slay
them, because they know not the manner
of the God of the land.
27 Then the king of AssjTia command-
ed, saying. Carry thither one of the priests
whom ye brought from thence ; and let
them go and dwell there, and let him
teach them the manner of the God of the
land.
28 Then one of the priests, whom they
had carried away from Samaria, came
and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them
how they should fear the Lord.

that were before him.
6 For he clave* to the LOUB, and de-
parted not from P foUowing him, but kept
his commandments, which the Lord com-
manded Moses. .,11- 7
7 And the Lord was with« him; and
he prospered'' whithersoever he went
forth: and he rebelled against the king
of Assyria, « and served him not.
8 Ue smote the Philistines, even unto
3 Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the
tower of the watchmen to the fenced citj'.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year
of king Hezekiah, which tvas the seventh
year of Hoshea sou of Elah king of Israel,
that Shalmaneser/ king of Assyria came
up against Samaria, and besieged it.
lO^And at the end of three years they
took it, even in the sixth year of Hezekiah
(that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of
Israel) Samaria was taken.
11 And* the king of Assyria did carry
away Israel unto Assyria, and put them
in Halah and in Habor bi/ the river of
G-ozan, and in the cities of the Medes :
12 Because' they obeyed not the voice
of the Lord their God, but transgressed
his covenant, and all that Moses the ser-
vant of the Lord commanded, and would
not hear tke7n, nor do them.
13 Now,' in the fourteenth year of king
Hezekiah, did >? Sennacherib king of As-
syria come up against all the fenced cities
of Judah, and took them.
14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent
to the king of Assjo-ia to Lachish, saying,
I have offended : return from me : that
which thou puttest on me will I bear.
And the king of Assyria appointed unto
Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred
talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 Audi* Hezekiah gave 7im aU the
silver that was found in the house of the
Lord, and in the treasures of the king's
house.
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off
the gold from the doors of the temple of
the Lord, and from the pillars which
Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid,
and gave « it to the king of Assyria.
17 And the king of Assyria sent' Tar-
tan, and Rabsaris, and Eab-shakeh, from
Lachish to king Hezekiah, with a ^ great
host against Jerusalem: and they went
up, and came to Jerusalem. And when
they were come up, they came and stood
by the conduit of the upper pool, which*
is in the highway of the fuller's field.
18 And when they had called to the
king, there came out to them Eliakim the
son of Hilkiah, which tvas over the house-
hold, and Shebna the Ascribe, and Joah
the son of Asaph the recorder.
19 And Rab-shakeh said unto them.
Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith
the great king, the king of Assyria, What
confidence is this wherein thou trustest ?
20 Thou '^ sayest, (but the?/ ore hut P vain
words,) o" I have counsel and strength for
the war. Now, on whom dost thou trust,
that thou rebellest against me ?
21 Now, ^ behold, thou t trustest upon
the stafi' of this bruised reed,2' even upon
Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go
into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pha-
raoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on
him.

24 I have digged and drunk strange
waters, and with the sole of my feet have
I dried up all the rivers of ^besieged
places.
25 "Hast thou not heard, long ago how
I have * done it, and of ancient times that
I have formed it ? now have I brought it
to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay
waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were -^of
small power, they were dismayed and
confounded ; they were as the grass of

grass on the house tops, and as corn
blasted before it be grown up.
27 But I know thy M abode, and thy

28 Because thy rage against me and thy
tumult is come up into mine ears, there-
fore I win put my hook y in thy nose, and

shall eat this year such things as grow of

the house of Judah shall yet again take
root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 Eor out of Jerusalem shall go forth

hosts shall do this.
32 Therefore thus saith the Lord con-
cerning the king of Assyria, He shall not
come into this citj% nor shoot an arrow
there, nor come before it with shield, nor
cast a bank against it.
33 By the way that he came, by the
same shall he return, and shall not come
into this city, saith the Lord.
34 For* I will defend this city to save
it, for mine own sake, and for my ser-
vant David's sake.

35 And" it came to pass that night, that
the angel of the Lord went out, and
smote in the camp of the Assyrians an
hundred fourscore and five thousand:
and when they arose early in the morn-
ing, behold, they ioere all dead corpses.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assj-ria de-
parted, and went and returned, and dwelt
at Nineveh.*
37 And it came to pass, as he was wor-
shipping in the house of Nisroch his god,
that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons
smote** him with the sword: and they
escaped into the land of ^ Armenia. And
Esarhaddon his « son reigned in his stead.
CHAPTER XX.
In«' those days was Hezekiah sick unto
death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of
Amoz came to him, and said unto him,
Thus saith the Loud, 7 Set thine house
in order ; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Then he turned his face to the wall,
and prayed unto the Loed, saying,
3 I beseech thee, O Loed,' remember
now how I have walked"* before thee in
truth " and with a perfect heart, and have
done that which is good in thy sight. And
Hezekiah Cwept sore. -r . i
4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was
gone out into the middle ») court, that the
■word of the Loed came to him, saying,
5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah, the
captain' of my people. Thus saith the
Loed. the God of David thy father, I
have heard >• thy prayer, I have seen thy
tears -J behold, I will heal« thee: on the
third day thou shalt go up unto the house
of the Loed.
6 And I will add unto thy days liiteen
years; and I will deliver thee and this
city out of the hand of the king of Assy-
ria ; and «" I wiU defend this city for mine
own sake, and for my servant David's
7 And Isaiah said. Take a lump of figs.
And they took and laid it on the boil,
and he recovered.
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What
sJicdl be the sign" that the Loed wdll heal
me, and that I shall go up into the house
of the Loed the third day ?
9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou
have of the Loed, that the Loed will
do the thing that he hath spoken: shall
the shadow go forward ten degrees, or
go back ten degrees ?
10 And Hezekiah answered. It is a
light thing for the shadow to go down
ten degrees : nay, but let the shadow re-
turn backward ten degrees.
11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto

king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What
said these men? and from whence came
they unto thee? And Hezekiah said,
They are come from a far country, even
from Babylon.
15 And he said, What have they seen in
thine house? And Hezekiah answered,
All '^ the things that are in mine house have
tliey seen: "there is nothing among my
treasures that I have not shewed them.
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah,
Hear the word of the Loed.
17 Behold,/ the days come, that all
that is in thine house, and that which thy
fathers have laid up in store unto this
day, shall be carried into Babylon : no-
thing shall be left, saith the Loed.
18 And of thy sons that shall issue from
thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they
take away;* and' they shall be eunuchs
in the palace of the king of Babylon.
19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah,
Good* is the word of the Loed which
thou hast spoken. And he said, ^ Is it not
good^ if peace and truth be in my days ?
20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah,
and all his might, and how he made a
pool," and a conduit, and brought water p
into the city, are they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah?
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers :
and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
CHAPTER XXI.
Manasseh* was twelve years old
Avhen he began to reign, and reigned
fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And
his mother's name ivas Hephzi-bah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Loed, after" the abomina-
tions of the heathen, whom the Loed
cast out before the children of Israel.
3 For he built up again the high places
which* Hezekiah his father had destroy-
ed : and he reared up altars for Baal,
and made a grove, as^ did Ahab king of
Israel ; and worshipped ' all the host of
heaven, and served them.
4 And he built altars in the house* of
the Loed, of which the Loed<^ said, In
Jerusalem will I put my name.
5 And he built altars for all the host
of heaven in the two courts of the house
of the Loed.
6 And he made his son<* pass through
the fire, and observed times, « and used
enchantments, and dealt with familiar
spirits and wizards : he Avrought much
wickedness in the sight of the Loed, to
provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a graven image of the
grove that he had made in the house, of
which the Loed said to David, f and to*
Solomon his son, In this house, and in
Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of
all tribes of Israel, will I put my name
for ever :
8 Neither-' will I make the feet of Is-
rael move any more out of the land which
I gave their fathers ; only if they will
observe to do according to all that I have
commanded them, and according to all
the law that my servant Moses com-
manded them.
9 But they hearkened not: and"* Ma-
nasseh seduced them to do more evil than
did the nations whom the LoED destroy-
ed before the children of Israel.
ManasseKs ruin foretold.
2 KINGS, XXII.
JosiaTos pious reign.
10 And the Loed spake by his servants
the prophets, saying,
11 Because* Manasseh king of Juclah
hath done these abominations, and hath
done wickedly above aU that the Amor-
ites*' did, which loere before him, and
hath made Judah also to sin with his
idols :
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, Behold, I* am bringing such
evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that
whosoever heareth of it, both his ears
shall tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem
the lines' of Samaria, and the plummet
of the house of Ahab : and I will vripe
Jerusalem as* a mati wipeth a dish,
y wiping it, and turning zY upside down.
14 And I will forsake • the remnant of
mine inheritance, and deliver them into
the hand of their enemies;* and they
shall become a prey and a spoil to aU
their enemies ;
15 Because they have done that tohich
was evil in my sight, and have provoked
me to anger, since the day their fathers
came forth out of Egypt, even unto this
day.
16 Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent
blood"' very much, till he had filled Je-
rusalem ^from one end to another; be-
side his sin wherewith" he made Judah
to sin, in doing that lohich toas evil in the
sight of the Lord.
17 Now" the rest of the acts of Manas-
seh, and all that he did, and his sin that he
sinned, are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers,
and was buried in the garden of his own
house, in the garden of Uzza : and Amon
his son reigned in his stead.
19 Amon 9 was twenty and two years
old when he began to reign; and he
reigned two years in Jerusalem. And
his mother's name ivas Meshullemeth,
the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 And he did that ivhich loas evil in
the sight of the Lord, as ' his father Ma-
nasseh did.
21 And he walked in all the Avay that
his father walked in, and served the idols
that his father served, and worshipped
them:
22 And he forsook"' the Lord God of
his fathers, and walked not in the way of
the Lord.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired
against him, and slew the king in his own
house.
24 And the people of the land slew all
them that had conspired against king
Amon ; and the people of the land made
Josiah his son king in his stead.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon
which he did, are they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre,
in the garden of Uzza : and Josiah « his
son reigned in his stead.

way of David his father, and turned not
aside" to the right hand or to the left.
3 And it came to pass, in the eighteenth
year of king Josiah, that the king sent
Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of
Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the
Lord, saying,
4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that
he may sum the silver"* which is brought
into the house of the Lord, which the
keepers/ of the ^door have gathered of
the people :
5 And let them deliver it into the hand
of the doers of the work, that have the
oversight of the house of the Lord : and
let them give it to the doers of the work
which is in the house of the Lord, to
repair the breaches of the house,
6 Unto carpenters, and builders, and
masons, and to buy timber and hewn
stone, to repair the house.
7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made
with them of the money that was deli-
vered into their hand, because they dealt
faithfuUy.,
8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Sha-
phan the scribe, I have found ^ the book
of the law in the house of the Lord.
And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan,
and he read it.
9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the
king, and brought the king word again,
and said. Thy servants have ^gathei-ed
the money that was found in the house,
and have delivered it into the hand of
them that do the work, that have the
oversight of the house of the Lord.
10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the
king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath de-
livered me a book. Ajid Shaphan read^
it before the king.
11 And it came to pass, Avhen the kiug
had heard the words of the book of the
law, that he rent "" his clothes.
12 And the king commanded Hilkiah
the priest, and Ahikam the son of Sha-
phan, and Achbor * the son of 'iMichaiah,
and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a
servant of the king's, saying,
13 Go ye, inquire" of the Lord for
me, and for the people, and for all Judah,
concerning the words of this book that is
found: for great" is the wrath of the
Lord that is kindled against us, because
our* fathers have not hearkened unto
the words of this book, to do/ accord-
ing unto all that which is written con-
cerning us.
14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam,
and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah,
went unto Huldah the prophetess, the
wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah,^ the
son of ^ Harhas, keeper of the " wardrobe ;
(now she dwelt in Jerusalem ^in the col-
lege ;) and they communed with her.
15 And she said unto them. Thus saith
the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man
that sent you to me,
16 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will
bring evil upon this place, and upon the
inhabitants thereof, even all the words of
the book which the king of Judah hath
read:
17 Because*' they have forsaken me,
and have burned incense imto other gods,
that they might provoke me to anger with
all the works of their hands; therefore/
my wrath shall be kindled against this
place, and shall not be quenched.

ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, As touching the words which
thou hast heard ;
19 Because thiue heart/ was tender,
and thou hast humbled i' thyself before
the Lord, when thou heardest what I
spake against this place, and against the
inhabitants thereof, that they should be-
come a desolation* and a curse,' and hast
rent^" thy clothes, and wept' before me;
I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.
20 Behold, therefore, I will gather thee
unto thy lathers, and" thou shalt be ga-
thered into thy grave in peace ; and thine
eyes shall not see all the evil which I
will bring upon this place. And they
brought the king word again.

CHAPTER XXIII.
AjNBp the king sent, and they gathered
unto him all the elders of Judah and of
Jerusalem.
2 And the king went up into the house
of the Lord, and all the men of Judah,
and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with
him, and the priests, and the prophets,
and all the people, ^ both small and great :
and he read in their ears all the words
of the book of the covenant which was »■
found in the house of the Lord.
3 And^ the king stood by a piUar, and
made a covenant before the Lord, to
walk after the Lord, and to keep his
commandments and his testimonies and
his statutes, with all their heart and all
their soul, to perform the words of this
covenant that were written in this book :
and all the people stood to the covenant.
4 And the king commanded Hilkiah
the high priest, and the priests of the
second order, and the keepers of the
door, to bring forth out of the temple
of the Lord all the vessels that were
made for Baal, and for the grove,^ and
lor all the host of heaven ; and he burned
them without Jerusalem in the fields of
Kidron, and carried the ashes of them
unto Beth-el.
5 And he ^put down "the idolatrous
priests, whom the kings of Judah had
ordained to burn incense in the high
places in the cities of Judah, and in the
places round about Jerusalem; them also
that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun,
and to the moon, and to the ^planets,
and to all the host of heaven.
6 And he brought out the grove from
the house of the Lord, without Jeru-
salem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned
it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it
small to powder, and cast the powder
thereof upon the graves* of the children
of the people.
7 And he brake down the houses* of
the sodomites, that toere by the house of
the Lord, where the women ^ wove
"■ hangings for the grove.
8 And he brought all the priests out of
the cities of Judah, and defiled the high
places where the priests had burned in-
cense, from Geba/ to Beer-sheba, and
brake down the high places of the gates
that loere in the entering in of the gate
of Joshua the governor of the city, which
zoere on a man's left hand at the gate of
the city.

9 Nevertheless the priests " of the high
places came not up to the altar of the
Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat of
the unleavened bread ^ among their bre-
thren.
10 And he defiled Topheth," which is in
the valley^ of the children of Hinnom,« that
no man might make his son or his daugh-
ter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 And he took away the horses that the
kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the
entering in of the house of the Lord, by
the chamber of Nathan-melech the ^ cham-
berlain, which toas in the suburbs, and
burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 And the altars that were on the '" top
of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the
kings of Judah had made, and the altars
which <* Manasseh had made in the two
courts of the house of the Lord, did the
king beat down, and V brake them down
from thence, and cast the dust of them
into the brook Kidron.
13 And the high places that were before
Jerusalem, which ivere ou the right hand
of ^ the mount of corruption, which So-
lomon 9 the king of Israel had builded for
Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zido-
nians, and for Chemosh the abomination
of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abo-
mination of the children of Ammon, did
the king defile.
14 And he brake* in pieces the »? images,
and cut down the groves, and filled their
places with the bones of men.
15 Moreover, the altar that _ ivas at
Beth-el, and the high place" which Jero-
boam the son of Nebat, v/ho made Israel
to sin, had made, both that altar and the
high place he brake down, and burned the
high place, and stamped it small to pow-
der, and burned the grove.
16 And as Josian turned himself, he
spied the sepulchres that tvere there in
the mount, and sent, and took the bones
out of the sepulchres, and burned them
upon the altar, and polluted it, accord-
ing to the word*" of the Lord, which
the man of God proclaimed, who pro-
claimed these words.
17 Then he said, "What title is that that
I see ? And the men of the city told him.
It is the sepulchre of the man of* God
which came from Judah, and proclaimed
these things that thou hast done against
the altar of Beth-el.
18 And he said. Let him alone; let no
man move his bones. So they let his
bones M alone, with the bones of the pro-
phet that came out of Samaria.
19 And all the houses also of the high
places that ioerey in the cities of Samaria,
which the kings of Israel had made to
provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took
away, and did to them according to all
the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
20 And he "slew*" all the priests of the
high places that were there upon the al-
tars, and bui'ned men's bones <^ upon them,
and returned to Jerusalem.
21 And the king commanded all the
people, saying. Keep the passover unto
the Lord your God, as it is written* in
the book of this covenant.
22 Surely^ there was not holden such a
passover from the days of the judges that
judged Israel, nor in aU the days of the
kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah ;

Josiah, xvherehv this passover was liolden
to the Lord iu Jerusalem.
24 Moreover,'* the ivor Jeers loith familiar
spirits, and the wizards, and the ^ images,
and the idols, and all the abominations
that were spied in the land of Judah and
in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that
he might perform the words of the'' law
which were written in the book that Hil-
kiah the priest found in the house of the
LOED.
25 And** like unto him was there no
king before him, that turned^ to the Lord
with all his heart, and with all his soul,
and with all his might, according i' to all
the law of Moses ; neither after him arose
there any like him.
26 Notwithstanding the Loed turned
not from the fierceness of his great wrath,
wherewith his anger was kindled against
Judah, because' of all the ^provocations
that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
27 And the Loed said, I will*" remove
Judah also out of my sight, as I have re-
moved" Israel, and will cast off this city
Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the
house of which 9 I said. My name shall
be there.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah,
and all that he did, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings
of Judah?
29 In* his days Pharaoh-nechoh king
of Egypt went up against the king of As-
syria to the river Euphrates : and king
Josiah went against him ; and he slew
him at Megiddo,' when he had seen him.
30 And his servants carried him in a
chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought
him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his
own sepulchre. And" the people of the
land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah,
and anointed him, and made him king in
his father's stead.
31 ^Jehoahaz was twenty and three
years old when he began to reign ; and
he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
And his mother's name ivas" Hamutal,
the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 And he did that which loas evil in
the sight of the Lord, according to all
that his fathers had done.
33 And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in
bands at Riblah.y in the land of Hamath,
^that he might not reign in Jerusalem;
and /* put the land to a tribute of an hun-
dred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim
the son of Josiah king in the room of
Josiah his father, and turned * his name
to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away:
and* he came to Egypt, and died there.
35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver* and
the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the
land to give the money according to the
commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted
the silver and the gold of the people of the
land, of every one according to his tax-
ation, to give i^ unto Pharaoh-nechoh.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years
old when he began to reign; and he reign-
ed eleven years in Jerusalem: and his
mother's name loas Zebudah, the daugh-
ter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 And he did that ivhich was evil in
the sight of the Loed, according to all
that his fathers had done.

19 And " they made war with the Hagar-
ites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
20 And " they were helped against them,
and the Hagarites were delivered into
their hand, and all that toere with them :
for they ^ cried to God in the battle, and
he was entreated of them; because/ they
put their trust in him.
21 And they ^ took away their cattle ;^
of their camels fifty thousand, and of
sheep two hundred and fifty thousand,
and of asses two thousand, and of 7 men
an hundred thousand.
22 For there fell do^vn many slain, be-

nyr CHAPTER X.
IMOW* the Philistines fought against
Israel; and the men of Israel fled from
before the Philistines, and fell down
y slain in mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard
after Saul, and after his sons ; and the
PhiHstines slew Jonathan, and "^ Abina-
dab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul,
and the ^archers "hit him, and he was
wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul to his armourbearer,
Draw thy sword, and thrust me through
therewith, lest these uncircumcised come
and ^ abuse me. But his armourbearer
would not; for he was sore afraid. So
Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer saw
that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on
the sword, and died.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and
all his house died together.
7 And when all the men of Israel that
toere in the valley saw that they fled, and
that Saul and his sons were dead, then
they forsook their cities,/ and fled: and
the PhiUstines came and dwelt in them.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow,
when the Phihstines came to strip the
slain, that they found Saul and his sons
fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 And when they had stripped him,
they took his head, and his armour, and
sent into the land of the Philistines round
about, to carry tidings unto their idols,
and to the people.
10 And* they put his armour in the
house of their gods, and fastened his head
in the temple of Dagon.
11 And when all Jabesh-gilead heard
all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 They arose, all the valiant men, and
took away the body of Saul, and the
bodies of his sons, and brought them to
Jabesh, and buried their bones under the
oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died for his transgression
which he ^committed against the Lord,
eveji'' against the word of the Lord,
which he kept not, and also for asking
comisel^ of one that had a familiar spirit,
to inquire of it;
14 And inquired not of the Lord :
therefore he slew him, and turned*' the
kingdom unto David the son of P Jesse.
rp CHAPTER XL
XHENp all Israel gathered themselves
to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold,
we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 And, moreover, vin time past, even
when Saul was king, thou toast he that
leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and
the Lord thy God said unto thee, Thou
shalt Sfeed'" my people Israel, and thou
shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
3 Therefore came all the elders of Is-
rael to the king to Hebron ; and David
made a covenant with them in Hebron
before the Lord ; and they anointed
David king over Israel, according to the
word of the Lord ^by Samuel.*
4 And David and all Israel went to
David's migJdy men.

David's army.
Jerusalem, wliicli is Jebus;" where tlie
Jebusites toere, tlie inhabitants of the land.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said
to David, Thou shalt not come hither.
Nevertheless David took the castle of
Zion, which is the city of David.
6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth
the Jebusites first shall be P chief and
captain. So Joab the sou of Zeruiah
went first up, and was chief.
7 And David dwelt in the castle : there-
fore they called y it the city of David.
8 And he built the city round about,
even from Millo round about: and Joab
^ repaired the rest of the city.
9 So David « waxed greater and greater :
for the LOED of hosts ^vas with him.
10 These also are the chief of the
mighty men whom David had, who
^strengthened themselves wdth him in
his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make
him king, according to the word'' of the
Lord concerning Israel.
11 And this is the number of the mighty
men whom David had; Jashobeam o'an
Hachmonite, the chief of the captains :
he lifted up his spear against three hun-
dred slain by him at one time.
12 And after him tvas Eleazar the son
of Dodo the Ahohite, who was one of the
three mighties :
13 He was with David at ^Pas-dam-
mim, and there the Philistines were ga-
thered together to battle, where was a
parcel of ground full of barley; and the
people fled from before the Philistines.
14 And they ^ set themselves in the
midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and
slew the Philistines; and the Loed saved
them by a great ^ deliverance.
15 Now « three of the thirty captains went
down*^ to the rock to David, into the cave
of Adullam ; and the host of the Philistines
encamped in the vaUey of Rephaim.*
16 And David tvas then in the hold,
and the Philistines' garrison ivas then at
Beth-lehem.
17 And David longed,/ and said, Oh that
one would give me drink of the water of
the well of Beth-lehem, that is at the gate!
18 And the three brake through the
host of the Philistines, and drew water
out of the well of Beth-lehem, that toas by
the gate, and took it, and brought it to
David : but David would not drink of it,
but poured \io out to the Loed,
19 And said. My God forbid it me, that
I should do tills thing : shall I drink the
blood* of these men ^ that have put* their
lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy
of their lives they brought it. Therefore
he would not drink it. These things did
these three mightiest.
20 And' Abishai the brother of Joab, he
was chief of the three : for lifting up his
spear against three hundred, he slew
them, and had a name among the three.
21 Of the three, he was more honourable
than the two, for he was their captain;
howbeit he attained not to i\\^& first three.
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son
of a valiant man of Kabzeel, P who had
done many acts ; he slew two lionlike
men of Moab : also he went down and
slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man <^ of
great stature, five cubits nigh ; and in the
Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weav-
er's beam; and he went down to him

^y CHAPTER XIL
JN OW * these are they that came to
David to Ziklag, "while he yet kept
himself close, because of Saul the son of
Kish: and they were among the mighty
men, helpers of the war.
2 They tvere armed with bows, and
could use both the right hand and the
left"* in hurling stones and shooting ar-
rows out of a bow, even of Saul's bre-
thren of Benjamin.
3 The chief tvas Ahiezer, then Joash, the
sons of 'rShemaah the Gibeathite ; and
Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth;
and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,
4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty
man among the thirty, and over the thirty ;
and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan,
and Josabad the Gederathite,
5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and
Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel,
David's mighty men.
and Joezer, and Jasliobeam, the Korliites,
7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons
of Jerobam of Gedor.
8 And of the Gadites there separated
themselves unto David, into the hold to
the wilderness, men of might, and men ^ of
war Jit for the battle, that could handle
shield and buckler, whose faces were like
the faces of lions, and tvere ^as swift as
the roes * upon the mountains ;
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second,
Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah
the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, JMachbanai the
eleventh.
14 These ivere of the sons of Gad, cap-
tains of the host : ^ one of the least toas
over an hundred, and the greatest over
a thousand,
15 These are they that went over Jor-
dan in the first month, when it had ^ over-
flown'' all his banks; and they put to
flight all them of the valleys, both toward
the east, and toward the west.
16 And there came of the children of Ben-
jamin and Judah to the hold unto David,
17 And David went out ^to meet them,
and answered and said unto them, If ye be
come peaceably unto me to help me, mine
heart shall P be knit unto you : but if ye be
come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing
there is no <^ wrong in mine hands, the God
of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
18 Then the spirit i> came upon* Amasai,
ioho tvas chief ot the captains, and he said.
Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou
son of Jesse : peace, peace be unto thee,
and peace be to thine helpers : for thy God
helpeth thee. Then David received them,
and made them captains of the band.
19 And there fell some of Manasseh to
David, when/ he came with the Phi-
listines against Saul to battle ; but they
helped them not : for the lords of the
Philistines, upon advisement, sent him
away, saying. He will fall to his master
Saul, V'to the jeopardy of out heads.
20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to
him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad,
and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad,
and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the
thousands that were of Manasseh.
21 And they helped David « against
the bandf of the rovers: for they ivere
all mighty men of valour, and were cap-
tains in the host.
22 For at that time, day by day, there

10 Now when Joab saw that the V battle
was set against him before and behind, he
chose out of all the ^choice of Israel, and
put them in array against the Syrians.
11 And the rest of the people he deli-
vered unto the hand of ^Abishai his bro-
tUer, and they set themselves in array
against the children of Ammon.
12 And he said. If the Syrians be too
.strong for me, then thou shalt help me ;
but if the children of Ammon be too
strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13 Be* of good courage, and let us be-
have ourselves valiantly for our people,
and for the cities of our God ; and** let the
Lord do that lohioh is good in his sight.
14 So Joab, and the people that ivere with
him, drew nigh before the Syrians imto
the battle ; and they fled* before him.
15 And when the children of Ammon
saw that the Syrians were fled, they like-
wise fled before Abishai his brother, and
entered into the city. Then Joab came
to Jerusalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they
were put to the worse before Israel, they
sent messengers, and drew forth the Sy-
rians that were beyond the ^ river ; and
'^Shophach, the captain of the host of
Hadarezer, loent before them.
17 And it was told David; and he
gathered all Israel, and passed over Jor-
dan, and came upon them, and set the
battle in array against them. So when
David had put the battle m array against
the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 But the Syrians fled before Israel;
and David slew of the Syrians seven
thousand men tvhich fought in chariots,
and forty thousand footmen, and killed
Shophach the captain of the host.
19 And^ when the servants of Hadare-
zer saw that they were put to the worse
before Israel, they made peace with Da-
vid, and became his servants ; neither
would the Syrians help the children of
Ammon any more.
. CHAPTER XX.
AND^ it came to pass, that ■r after the
year was expired, at the time that kings
go out to battle, Joab led forth the power
of the army, and wasted the country of
the children of Ammon, and came and
besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at
Jerusalem. And'" Joab smote Rabbah,
and destroyed it.
2 And David took the cro\Mi of their
king from off his head, and found it ^ to
weigh a talent of gold, and there were
precious stones in it : and it was set upon
David's head: and he brought also ex-
ceeding much spoil out of the city.
3 And he brought out the people that
toere in it, and cut them with saws, and
with harrows of iron, and with axes :
even so dealt David with all the cities of
the children of Ammon. And David and
aU the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 And? it came to pass after this, that
there '/'arose war at wGezer with the
Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the
Hushathite slew ^ Sippai, that toas of the
children of Vthe giant: and they were
subdued.
5 And there was war again with the
Philistines ; and Elhanan the son of ^ Jair
slew Lahmi, the brother of Groliath the
G-ittite, whose spear staff tvas like a wea-
ver's beam.

6 Aud« yet again there was war at Gtatb,
where was a man of great P stature, whose
fingers and toes toere four and twenty, six
on each hand, and six on each foot : and
he also was V the son of the giant.
7 But when he ^defied Israel, Jonathan the
son of ^Shimca, David's brother, slew him.
8 These were born unto the giant in
Gath ; and they fell by the hand of Da-
vid, and by the hand of his servants.
. CHAPTER XXI.
■A'N'D'^ Satan stood up* against Israel,
and provoked David to number Israel.
2 And David said to Joab, and to the ru-
lers of the people, Go, number Israel, from
Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring i' the
number of them to me, that I may know it.
3 And Joab answered. The Lord make
his people an hundred times so many
more as they be : but, my lord the king, are
they not all my lord's servants ? why then
doth my lord require this thing ? why wiU
he be a cause of trespass to Israel ?
4 Nevertheless the king's word pre-
vailed * against Joab : wherefore Joab de-
parted, and went throughout all Israel,
and came to Jerusalem.
5 And Joab gave the sum of the number
of the people unto David. And all the?/ of
Israel were a thousand thousand and an
hundred thousand men that drew sword :
and Judah toas four hundred threescore
and ten thousand men that drew sword.
6 But* Levi and Benjamin counted he
not among them ; for the king's word was
abominable to Joab.
7 And ^God was displeased with this
thing ; therefore he smote Israel.
8 And David said unto God, I have
sinned greatly, because I have done this
thing: but now, I beseech thee, do' away
the iniquity of thy servant; for I have
done very foolishly."
9 And the Lord spake unto Gad, Da-
vid's seer," saying,
10 Go and tell David, saying. Thus
saith the Loed, I M offer thee three thi7igs :
choose thee one of them, that I may do it
unto thee.
11 So Gad came to David, and said unto
him. Thus saith the Loed, " Choose thee
12 Either three years' famine; or three
months to be destroyed before thy foes,
while that the sword of thine enemies
overtaketh thee; or else three days the
sword of the Loed, even the pestilence, in
the land, and the angel of the Loed de-
stroying throughout all the coasts of Israel.
Now, therefore, advise thyself what word
I shall bring again to him that sent me.
13 And David said unto Gad, I am in
a great strait:* let me fall' now into the
hand of the Loed; for very '^ great* are
his mercies: but let me not fall into the
hand of man."*
14 So the Loed sent pestilence y upon
Israel : and there fell of Israel seventy
thousand men.
15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem
to destroy it : and as he was destroying, the
Loed beheld, and he repented" him of the
evil, and said to the angel that destroyed.
It is enough, stay* now thine hand. And
the angel of the Loed stood by the thresh-
ingfloor of P Oman'* the Jebusite.
16 And David lifted up Ms eyes, and saw
the angels' of the Loed stand between
the earth and the heaven, having a drawn

Jerusalem: then David aud the elders of
Israel, who tvere clothed in sackcloth, fell
upon their faces,
17 And David said unto God, Is it not
I that commanded the people to be num-
bered? even I it is that have sinned aud
done evil indeed : but as for these * sheep,
what have they done? Let thine hand, I
pray thee, O Loed my God, be on'' me,
and on my father's house ; but not on thy
people, that they should be plagued.
18 Then the angel/ of the Lord command-
ed Gad to say to David, that David should
go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in
the threshingfloor of Oman the Jebusite.
19 And David went up at the saying of
Gad, which he spake in the name of the
Loed.
20 'J And Oman turned back, aud saw the
angel ; ^and his four sons with him hid them-
selves. Now Oman was threshing wheat.
21 And as David came to Oman, Oman
looked, and saw David, and went out of
the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to
David with his face to the ground.
22 Then David said to Oman, « Grant
me the place of this threshingfloor, that
I may build an altar therein unto the
Loed ; thou shalt grant it me for the
full price, that the plague may be stayed
from the people.
23 And Oman said unto David, Take it
to thee, and let my lord the king do that
which is good in his eyes : lo, I give thee
the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the
threshing instruments for wood, and the
wheat for the meat offering : I give it all.
24 And king David said to Oman, Nay ;
but I will verily buy* it for the full price :
for I will not take that which is thine
for the Loed, nor offer burnt offerings
without cost."'
25 So David gave to Oman for the place
six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 And David built there an altar unto
the Loed, and offered burnt offerings aud
peace offerings, and called upon the Loed ;
and^ he answered him from heaven by
fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
27 And the Lord commanded the an-
gel ; and he put up his sword again into
the sheath thereof.
28 At that time, when David saw that
the Lord had answered him in the
threshingfloor of Oman the Jebusite,
then he sacrificed there.
29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which
Moses made' in the wilderness, and the
altar of the burnt offering, were at that
season in the high place*" at Gibeon ;
30 But David could not go before it to
inquire of God : for he was afraid," because
of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
rn CHAPTER XXII.
XHEN David said. This* is the house
of the Lord God, and this is the altar of
the burnt offering for Israel.
2 And David commanded to gather to-
gether the strangers * that tvere in the land
of Israel ; and he set masons to hew
wrought stones to build the house of God.
3 And David prepared* iron in abun-
dance for the nails for the doors of the
gates, and for the joinings ; and brass in
abundance without* weight ;
4 Also cedar trees in abundance :/ for
the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought
much cedar wood to David.
5 And David said, Solomon my son is

young" and tender, and the house that is to
be builded for the Lord must be exceed-
ing magnifical,* of fame and of glory
throughout all countries : I will therefore
now make preparation for it. So David
prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Then he cailecl for Solomon his son,
and charged him to build an house for
the LoKD God of Israel.
7 And David said to Solomon, My son,
as for me, it was * in my mind to build an
house/ unto the name of the Loed my God :
8 But the word of the Lord came to
me, saying, Thou^' hast shed blood'' abun-
dantly, and hast made great wars : thou
shalt not build an house unto my name,
because thou hast shed much blood upon
the earth in my sight.
9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee,
who shall be a man of rest; and I will
give him rest from all his enemies round
about : for his name shall be "n Solomon,
and I will give peace' and quietness unto
Israel in his days.
10 He* shall build an house for my name ;
and he shall be my son,' and I toill be his
father; and I will establish the throne of
his kingdom over Israel for ever.
11 Now, my son, the Lord"' be with thee ;
and prosper thou, and build the house of
the Lord thy God, as he hath said of thee.
12 Only the Lord give" thee wisdom
and understanding, and give thee charge
concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep
the law of the Lord thy God.
13 Then'' shalt thou prosper, if thou
takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judg-
ments which the Lord charged Moses
with concerning Israel: be* strong, and of
good courage, dread not, nor be dismayed.
14 Now, behold, in my '^trouble I have
Erepared for the house of the Lord an
undred thousand talents of gold, and a
thousand thousand talents of silver ; and
of brass and iron without weight ; for it is
in abundance: timber also and stone have
I prepared ; and thou mayest add thereto.
15 Moreover, there are workmen with
thee in abundance, hewers and P workers
of stone and timber, and all manner of
cunning men for every manner of work.
16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass,
and the ii-on, there is no number. Arise
therefore, and be doing, and the' Lord
be with thee.
17 David also commanded all the princes
of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 Is not the Lord your God with you ?
and hath he not given you rest" on every
side? for he hath given the inhabitants of
the land into mine hand; and the land
is subdued before the Lord, and before
his people.
19 Now set'" your heart and your soul
to seek* the Lord your God : arise, there-
fore, and build ye the sanctuary of the
Lord God, to bring* the ark of the cove-
nant of the Lord, and the holy vessels
of God, into the house that is to be built
to the name of the Lord.
Q^^ CHAPTER XXIIL
pO* when David was old and fuU of davs,
he made Solomon his sou king over Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the princes
of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from
the age of thirty^ years and upward; and
their number by their polls, man by man,
was thirty and eight thousand.

4 Of which, twenty and four thousand
were to P set forward the work of the
house of the Lord ; and six thousand
tvere officers <^ and judges.
5 Moreover, four thousand toere por-
ters : and four thousand praised the
Lord Avith the instruments'* which I
made (said David) to praise therewith.
6 And David divided them into V courses
among the sons of Levi, namely^ Gershon,
Kohath, and Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites ivere^ ^Laadan,
and Shimei.
8 The sons of Laadan ; the chief was
Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 The sons of Shimei ; Shelomith, and
Haziel, and Haran, three. These toere
the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10 And the sons of Shimei tvere^ Jahath,
^Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These
four were the sons of Shimei.
11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah
the second ; but Jeush and Beriah ^ had
not many sons ; therefore they were in
one reckoning, according to their father's
house.
12 The sons of Kohath ; Amram, Izhar,
Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13 The sons of Amram ; Aaron and
Moses : and Aaron " was separated, that
he should sanctify the most holy things,
he and his sons for ever, to? burn incense
before the Lord, to minister unto him,
and to bless' in his name for ever.
14 Now concerning Moses the man of
God, his sons were named of the tribe of
Levi.
15 The sous of Moses toere^ Gershom
and Eliezer.
16 Of the sons of Gershom, KShebuel
IV as the chief.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Reha-
biah the /^ chief. And Eliezer had none
other sons ; but the sons of Rehabiah
were *' very many.
18 Of the sons of Izhar; 'rghelomith
the chief.
19 Of the sons of Hebron ; Jeriah the
first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the
third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the
first, and Jesiah the second.
21 The sons of Merari ; Mahli and Mushi.
The sons of Mahli ; Eleazar and Kish.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons,
but daughters: and their 'J' brethren the
sons of Kish took them.
23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and
Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 These loere the sons of Levi, after the
house of their fathers ; even the chief of
the fathers, as they were counted" by
number of names by their polls, that did
the work for the service of the liouse of
the Lord, from the age of twenty y years
and upward.
25 For David said. The Lord God of Is-
rael hath given rest* unto his people, ^that
they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever :
2Q And also unto the Levites ; they shall
no more carry the tabernacle, nor any
vessels of it for the service thereof.
27 For by the last words of David, the
Levites ivere ^ numbered from c twenty
years old and above :
28 Because their X office ivas to wait on
the sons of Aaron, for the service of the
house of the Lord, in the courts, and in
the chambers, and in the purifying of ail
of the priests.

them, continually before the Lord :
32 And that they should keep the^" charge

charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren,
in the service of the house of the Lord.
^y CHAPTER XXIV.
JM OW " these are the divisions of the sons
of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab,
and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died^ before their
father, and had no children : therefore Elea-
zar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
3 And David distributed them, both
Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahi-
melech'' of the sons of Ithamar, accord-
ing to their offices in their service.
4 And there were more chief men found
of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of
Ithamar ; and thus were they divided :
among the sons of Eleazar the^'e ivere six-
teen chief men of the house of their fathers,
and eight among the sons of Ithamar, ac-
cording to the house of their fathers.
5 Thus were they divided by lot,* one
sort with another : for the governors of
the sanctuary, and governors of the house
of Cod, were of the sons of Eleazar, and
of the sons of Ithamar.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel
the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them
before the king, and the princes, and Za-
dok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of
Abiathar, and before the chief of the fa-
thers of the priests and Levites : one
^principal household being taken for
Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Je-
hoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to
Mijamin,
10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth
to Abijah,"
11 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to
Shecaniah,
12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth
to Jakim,
13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the four-
teenth to Jeshebeab,
14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth
to Immer,
15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eigh-
teenth to Aphses,
16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the
twentieth to Jehezekel,
17 The one and twentieth to Jachin,
the two and twentieth to Camul,
18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah,
the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
^ 19 These ivere the orderings* of them
m their service, to come into the house
of the Lord, according to their manner,
under Aaron their father, as the Lord

These tvere the princes of the tribes of
Israel.
23 But David took not the number of
them from twenty years old and under:
because the Lord had said* he would
increase Israel like to the stars of the
heavens.
24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to
number, but he finished not, because there
fell wrath '^ for it against Israel; neither
^was the number put in the account of
the chronicles of king David.
25 And over the king's treasures tvas
Azmaveth the son of Adiel : and over the
storehouses in the fields, in the cities,
and in the villages, and in the castles,
toas Jehonathan the son of Uzziah :
26 And over them that did the work of
the field, for tillage of the ground, tvas
Ezri the son of Chelub :
27 And over the vineyards tvas Shimel
the Ramathite : over ^the increase of the
vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabcli
the Shiphmite :
28 And over the olive trees, and the sy-
camore trees/ that toere in the low plains,
tvas Baal-hanan the Gederite : and over
the cellars of oil tvas Joash :
29 And over the herds that fed in Sha-
ron toas Shitrai the Sharonite : and over
the herds that tvere in the valleys tvas
Shaphat the son of Adlai :
30 Over the camels also tvas Obil the
Ishmaelite : and over the asses tvas Jeh-
deiah the Meronothite :
31 And over the flocks was Jaziz the
Hagerite. All these tvere the rulers of
the substance which was king David's.
32 Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was
a counsellor, a wise man, and a >? scribe:
and Jehiel the ^son of Hachmoni tvas
with the king's sons.
33 And AhithopheP tvas the king's
counsellor : and Hushai "* the Archite
was the king's companion:
34 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada
the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar:" and
the general of the king's army tvas Joab.**
i CHAPTER XXVIII.
J\-ND David assembled all the princes
of Israel, the princes'" of the tribes, and
the captains of the companies* that mi-
nistered to the king by course, and the
captains over the thousands, and captains
over the hundreds, and the stewards" over
all the substance and « possession of the
king, ^ and of his sons, with the i-^ officers,
and with the" mighty men, and with all
the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.
2 Then David the king stood up upon
his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren,
and my people : As for me, I had^ in mine
heart to build an house of rest for the ark
of the covenant of the Lord, and for the
footstool y of our God, and had made
ready for the building :
3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt
not build an house for my name," be-
cause thou hast been a man of war, and
hast shed "^ blood.
4 Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose
me * before all the house of my father to
be king over Israel for ever: for he hath
chosen Judah " to be the ruler ; and of the
house of Judah, the house '^ of my father;
and among the sons of my father he liked
me, to make me king over all Israel :
5 And of all my sons (for* the Lord
hath given me many sons) he hath chosen
David's eJiarge to Solomon
Solomon'^ my son to sit upon the throne
of the kingdom of the Loud over Israel.
6 And he said*' unto me, Solomon thy
son, he shall build my house and my
courts : for I have chosen liim to be my
son, and I will be his father.
7 Moreover, I will establish his kmg-
dom for ever, if/ he be ^constant to do
my commandments and my judgments,
as at this day. ^ ^ ,, -r
8 Now therefore, m the sight s of all Is-
rael, the congregation of the Lord, and
in the audience of our God,* keep* and'
seek for all the commandments of the
Lord your God : that "• ye may possess
this good land, and leave" it for an inherit-
ance for your children after you for ever.
9 And thou, Solomon my son," know
thou the God of thy father, and served
him with a perfect heart,? and with a
willing mind: for the Lord searcheth*
all hearts, and understandeth * _ all the
imaginations of the thoughts : if" thou
seek him, he will be found of thee ; but
if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off
for ever. ^ , ,
10 Take heed now; for" the Lord hath
chosen thee to build an house for the
sanctuary : be strong, and do it.
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son
the pattern of the porch, and of the houses
thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and
of the upper chambers thereof, and of the
inner parlours thereof, and of the place
of the mercy seat,
12 And tlie pattern v of all that 7 he had
by the spirit, of the courts of the house
of the Lord, and of all the chambers
round about, of the treasuries of the house
of God, and of the treasuries* of the de-
dicated things :
13 Also for the courses of the priests
and the Levites, and for all the work of
the service of the house of the Lord, and
for all the vessels * of service in the house
of the Lord.
14 He gave of gold by weight for things
of gold, for all instruments of all manner
of service ; silver also for all instruments
of silver by Aveight, for all instruments of
every kind of service :
15 Even the weight for the<^ candlesticks
of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by
weight for every candlestick, and for the
lamps thereof; and for the candlesticks
of silver by weight, loth for the candle-
stick, and also for the lamps thereof, ac-
cording to the use of every candlestick.
16 And by weight he gave gold for the
tables of showbread, for every table; and
Ulceioise silver for the tables of silver :
17 Also pure gold for thef' fleshhooks,
and the bowls, and the cups ; and for the
golden basons he gave gold^ by weight for
every bason ; and likeivise silver by weight
for every bason of silver :
18 And for the altar of incense refined
gold by weight ; and gold for the pattern
of the chariot of the cherubims,'" that
spread out their wings, and covered the
ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 All this, said David., the Lord" made
me understand in writing by his hand up-
on me, even all the works of this pattern.
20 And David said to Solomon his son,
Be P strong, and of good coui-age, and do
U : fear not, nor be dismayed ; for the
Lord God, even my God, tvill le w^ith
thee ; » he AVI 11 not fail thee, nor forsake

gold ivas gold of Parvaim.
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams,

doors thereof, with gold; and graved
cherubims on the walls.
8 And he made the most holy' house,
tlie length whereof loas according to the

the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and
he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting
to six hundred talents.
9 And the weight of the nails tvas fifty
shekels of gold. And he overlaid the
upper chambers with gold.
10 And in the most holy house he made
two cherubims V'of image work, and
overlaid them with gold.
11 And the wings of the cherubims were
twenty cubits long: one wing of the one
oheruh was five cubits, reaching to the
wall of the house; and the other wing
%vas liJcewise five cubits, reaching to the
wing of the other cherub.
12 And one wing of the other cherub was
five cubits, reaching to the wall of the
house; and the other wing ^oas five cubits al-
so, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

13 The wings of these cherubims spread
themselves forth twenty cubits ; and they
stood on their feet, and their faces toere
y inward.
14 And he made the vail* of blue, and
Furple, and crimson, and fine linen, and
wrought cherubims thei'eon.
15 Also he made before the house two
pillars '^ of thirty and five cubits 'J high,
and the chapiter that ioas on the top of
each of them ioas five cubits,
16 And he made chains, as in the oracle,
and put them on the heads of the pillars ;
and made an hundred pomegranates, and
put them on the chains.
17 And he reared up the pillars before
the temple, one on the right hand, and
the other on the left ; and called the name
of that on the right hand f Jachin, and
the name of that on the left '^Boaz.
-, -- CHAPTER IV.
Moreover, he made an altar* of
brass, twenty cubits tlie length thereof,
and twenty cubits the breadth thereof,
and ten cubits the height thereof.
2 Also he made a molten sea' of ten
cubits '^ from brim to brim, round in
compass, and five cubits the height there-
of; and a line of thirty cubits did com-
pass it round about.
3 And under it toas the similitude of
oxen, which did compass it round about;
ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round
about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when
it was cast.
4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three look-
ing toward the north, and three looking
toward the west, and three looking toward
the south, and three looking toward the
east ; and the sea was set above upon them,
and all their hinder parts loere inward.
5 And the thickness of it was an hand-
breadth, and the brim of it like the work
of the brim of a cup, Pwith flowers of
lilies : and it received and held three
thousand baths.
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on
the right hand, and five on the left, to wash
in them : ^ such things as they offered for
the burnt offering they washed *" in them;
but the sea ivas for the priests to wash in.
7 And he made ten candlesticks of
gold according to their form,* and set
them in the temple, five on the right
hand, and five on the left.
8 He made also ten tables, and placed
them in the temple, five on the right side,
and five on the left: and he made an
hundred ^ basons of gold.
9 Furthermore, he made the court" of
the priests, and the great court, and doors
for the court, and overlaid the doors of
them with brass.
10 And he set the sea on the right side
of the east end, over against the south.
11 And Huram made the pots, and the

15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the
fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did
Huram'' his father make to king Solomon,
for the house of the Lord, of i bright brass.
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king
cast them, in the ^clay ground between
Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Thus Solomon made aU these ves-
sels in great abundance : for the weight
of the brass could not be found out.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels
that were for the house of God, the gold-
en altar also, and the tables whereon
the showbread^ toas set;
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their
lamps, that they should burn/ after the
manner, before the oracle, of pure gold ;
21 And the fiowers,*' and the lamps,
and the tongs, made he of gold, and that
M' perfect gold ;
22 And thesnuffers,andthe "basons, andthe
spoons, and the censers, o/pui'e gold : and the
entry of the house, the inner doors thereof
for the most holy place., and the doors of
the house of the temple, were of gold.
m CHAPTER V.
iHUS* all the work that Solomon
made for the house of the Lord was
finished : and Solomon brought in all
the^ things that David his father had de-
dicated ; and the silver, and the gold,
and aU the instruments, put he among
the treasures of the house of God.
2 Then"» Solomon assembled the elders
of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the chief of the fathers of the children of
Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the
ark" of the covenant of the Lord out
of the city" of David, which is Zion.^
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel as-
sembled themselves unto the king, in the
feast 9 which tvas in the seventh month.
4 And all the elders of Israel came;
and the Levites took up the ark.
5 And they brought up the ark, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, and all the
holy vessels that were in the tabernacle,
these did the priests arid theLevites bring up.
6 Also king Solomon, and all the con-
gregation of Israel that were assembled
unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep
and oxen, which could not be told nor
numbered for multitude.
7 And the priests brought in' the ark
of the covenant of the Lord xiuto his
place, to the oracle of the house, into
the most holy place^ even under the wings
of the cherubims : "
8 For the cherubims spread forth their
wings over the place of the ark, and the
cherubims covered the ark and the'"
staves thereof above.
9 And they drew out the staves of the
arlc, that the ends of the staves were
seen from the ark before the oracle, but
they were not seen without. And X there
it is unto this day.
10 There was nothing in the ark save
the two tables which Moses* put therein
at Horeb, 'I' when the Lord made a
covenant with the children of Israel,
when they came out of Egypt.
11 And it came to pass, when the priests
were come out of the holy place; (iov all
the priests that toere ^present were sanc-
tified, and did not then wait by course ; y
The temple filled toith glory.
12 Also" ihe Lcvites, wTiich were
Bineers, all of them of Asaph, of Heraan,
of Jeduthun, with their sons and their
brethren, being arrayed in white linen,
l)aving cymbals and psalteries and harps
stood at the east end of the altar, and
with them an hundred and twenty priests
Bounding' with trumpets ;) . , ,
13 1 1 came even to pass, as the trumpeters
and singers ivere as one, to make onef sound

Lord : and when thev lifted up their voice
with the trumpets and cymbals and instru-
ments of music, and praised the LORD,
sa>/ing. For* he is good; for his mercy e»-
dttretli for ever : that then the house was fail-
ed with a cloud, even the house of the Lord ;
14 So that the priests could not stand to
minister by reason of the cloud ; for' the glo-
rv of the Lord had filled the house of God.
^- CHAPTER VL ^ ,
ThEN" said Solomon, The Lord hath
said that he would dwell in the thick
darkness." , « , , .,
2 But I have built an house of habita-
tion for thee, and a place for thy dwell-
ing for ever. , , . ^ , , i
3 And the king turned his face, and bless-
ed^ the whole congregation of Israel: and
all the congregation of Israel stood : i
4 And he said. Blessed he the Lord
God of Israel, who'' hath with his hands
fulfilled that which he spake with his
mouth to my father David, saying,
5 Since the day that I brought forth my
people out of the land of Egypt, I chose
no city among all the tribes of Israel to
build an house in, that' my name might
be there; neither chose I any man to be
a ruler over my people Israel :
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem," that my
name might be there ; and have chosen
David"" to be over my people Isi-ael.
7 Now* it was in the heart of David
my father to huild an house for the name
of the Lord God of Israel.
8 But the Lord said to David my
father. Forasmuch as it was in thine heart
to build an house for my name, thou
didst well in that it was in thine heart :
9 Notwithstanding, thou shalt not
build the house ; but thy son which shall
come forth out of thy loins, he shall
build the house for my name.
10 The Lord therefore hath performed
his word that he hath spoken; for I am
risen up in the room of David my father,
and am set" on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord promised,* and have built the house
for the name of the Lord God of Israel :
11 And in it have I put<^ the ark, where-
in is the covenant of the Lord, that he
made with the children of Israel.
12 And* he stood before the altar of the
Lord, in the presence of all the congrega-
tion of Israel, and spread forth his hands,
13 (For Solomon had made a brazen
scaffold of five cubits "long, and five cubits
broad, and three cubits high, and had set
it in the midst of the court; and upon it
he stood,* and kneeled down upon his knees
before all the congregation of Israel, and
spread forth his hands toward heaven,)
14 And said, O Lord God of Israel, there
».9' no god like thee in the heaven, nor in
the earth; which"* keepest covenant, and
shewest mercy unto thy servants, that
walk before thee with all their hearts :
15 Thou which hast kept with thy

servant David my father that which thou
hast promised* "him: and spakest with
thy mouth, and'' hast fulfilled it witli
thine hand, as it is this day,
16 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel,
keep with thy servant David my father that
which thou hast promised'' him, saying,
There shall not ^faU thee a man in my sight
to sit upon the throne of Israel ; yet so/ that
thy children take heed to their way to walk
in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
17 Now then, O Lord God of Israel,
let thy word be verified, which thou hast
spoken unto thy servant David.
18 But will God in very deed dwell
with* men on the earth? Behold,* hea-
ven and the heaven of heavens cannot
contain thee ; how much less this house
which I have built !
19 Have respect, therefore, to the prayer
o.f thy servant, and to his supplication, O
Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry
and the prayer which thy servant prayeth
before thee :
20 That thine eyes may be open" upon
this house day and night, upon the place
whereof thou hast said that thou would-
est put thy name there; to hearken unto
the prayer which thy servant prayeth
Y toward this place.
21 Hearken, therefore, unto the supplisa-
tions of thy servant, and of thy people Israel,
which they shall S make toward this place :
hear thou from thy dwellingplace,« even
from heaven ; and when thou hearest, forgive.
22 If a man sin against his neighbour,
and fan oath be laid upon him to make
him swear, and the oath come before
thine altar in this house ;
23 Then hear thou from heaven, and do,
and judge thy servants, by requiting the
wicked, by recomi^ensing " his way upon his
own head; and by justifying the righteous, by
giving him according to his righteousness.
24 And if thy people Israel be v put to
the worse before the enemy, because they
have sinned against thee, and shall return
and confess thy name, and pray and make
supplication before thee ^ in this house ;
25 Theny hear thou from the heavens,
and forgive the sin of thy people Israel,
and bring them again unto the laud which
thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
26 When the heaven is shut up, and there
is no rain,' because they have sinned
against thee ; yet if they pray toward this
place, and confess thy name, and turn from
their sin, when thou dost afflict them ;
27 Then hear thou from heaven, and
forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy
people Israel, when thou hast taught them
the good way wherein they should walk ; and
send rain** upon thy land, which thou hast
given unto thy people for an inheritance.
28 If there be dearth/ in the land, if
there be pestilence, if there be blasting*
or mildew, locusts,^ or caterpillars ; if
their enemies besiege them in the ^cities
of their land; whatsoever sore,* or what-
soever sickness there be;
29 Then what prayer or what supplication
soever shall be made of any man, or of all
thy people Israel, when every one shall
know his* own sore and his own grief, and
shall spread forth his hands M in this house ;
30 Then hear thou from heaven thy
dweUingplace, and forgive, and" render UU'
to every man according unto all his ways,
whose heart thou knowest ; (for thou only

knowest the hearts of the children of men :)
31 That they may fear tliee, to walk in
thy ways, ^ so long as they live 7 in the
land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
32 Moreover concerning the" stranger,
which is not of thy people Israel, but is
come from a far country for thy great
name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and
thy stretched out arm; if they come and
pray in this house ;
33 Then hear thou from the heavens,
even from thy dwellingplace, and do
according to all that the stranger calleth
to thee for; that alH people of the earth
may know thy name, and fear« thee, as
doth thy people Israel, and may know
that fthis house which I have built is
called by thy name.
34 If thy people go out to war/ against
their enemies by the way that thou shalt
send them, and they pray unto thee toward
this city which thou hast chosen, and the
house which I have built for thy name ;
35 Then hear thou from the heavens
their prayer and their supplication, and
maintain ^ their ^ cause.
36 If they sin against thee, (for' there is
no man which sinneth not,) and thou be
angry with them, and deliver them over
before their enemies, and « they carry them
away captives unto a land far off or near;
37 Yet if they ^ bethink themselves in the
land whither they are carried captive, and
turn and pray unto thee in the land of their
captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have
done amiss, and have dealt wickedly ;
38 If they return to thee with all their
heart and with aU their soul in the land
of their captivity, whither they have car-
ried them captives, and pray toward their
land, which thou gavest unto their fathers,
and toivard the city™ which thou hast
chosen, and toward the house which I
have built for thy name :
39 Then^ hear thou from the heavens,
even from thy dwelhngplace, their prayer
and their supplications, and maintain
their M cause, and forgive thy people
wliich have sinned against thee.
40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee,
thine eyes be open, and let thine ears he
attent '^unto the prayer that is made in
this place.
41 Now therefore arise, ^ O Loed Grod,
into thy resting"' place, thou, and the ark
of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord
God, be clothed with salvation, and let
thy saints rejoice in goodness.*
42 O Lord God, turn not away the face
of thine anointed: remember they mer-
cies of David thy servant.
■j^ CHAPTER VII.
JN OW* when Solomon had made an end
of praying, the fire" came down from
heaven, and consumed the burnt offering
and the sacrifices ; and the glory * of the
Lord filled the house.
2 And the priests could not enter into
the house of the Lord, because the glory
of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
3 And when all the children of Israel
saw how the fire came down, and the glory
of the Lord upon the house, they bowed
themselves with their faces to the ground
upon the pavement, and worshipped, and
praised the Lord, saying. For he is good ;

5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice
of twenty and two thousand oxen, and
an hundred and twenty thousand sheep.
So the king and all the people dedicated
the house of God.
6 And the priests waited on their offices :
the* Levites also with instruments of
music of the Lord, which David the king
had made to praise the Lord, because
his mercy endureth for ever, when David
praised by their ^ ministry ; and <= the
priests sounded trumpets before them,
and all Israel stood.
7 Moreover, Solomon hallowed the mid-
dle of the court that tvas before the house
of the Lord : for there he offered burnt
offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings,
because the brazen altar which Solomon
had made was not able to receive the burnt
offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
8 Also, at the same time, Solomon kept
the feast seven days, and all Israel with him,
a very great congregation, from the enter-
ing in of Hamath s unto the river of Egypt.
9 And in the eighth day they made a
solemn ^ assembly : for they kept the
dedication of the altar seven days, and
the feast seven days.
10 And on the three and twentieth day
of the seventh month he sent the people
away into their tents, glad and merry in
heart for the goodness that the Lord
had shewed unto David, and to Solomon,
and to Israel his people.
11 Thus* Solomon finished the house of
the Lord, and the king's house: and all
that came into Solomon's heart to make
in the house of the Lord, and in his own
house, he prosperously effected,
12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon
by night, and said unto him, I have heard
thy prayer, and" have chosen this place
to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If" I shut up heaven that there be
no rain, or if I command the locusts to
devour the land, or if I send pestilence
among my people ;
14 If my people ''which are called by
my name, shall humble « themselves, and
pray,*" and seek* my face, and turn* from
their wicked ways ; then » will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and
mine ears attent ^unto the prayer that
is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified
this house, that my name may be there
for ever: and mine ej^es and mine heart
shall be there perpetually.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk
before me, as David thy father walked,
and do according to all that I have com-
manded thee, and shalt observe my sta-
tutes and my judgments ;
18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy
kingdom, according as I have covenanted
with David thy father, saying, There shall
not P fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19 But<^ if 3^e turn away, and forsake
my statutes and my commandments,
which I have set before you, and shall go
and serve other gods, and worship them ;
20 Then will I pluck them up by the
roots out of my land which I have given
them ; and this house, which I have sanc-
tified for my name, will I cast out of my
sight, and will make it to he a proverb
and a byword among all nations.
Solomon's buildings, tjr,
21 And this house, which is high, shall
be an astonishment to every one that
passeth by it; so that he shaU say," Why
hatli the Loud done thus unto tins land,
niui unto this house?
22 And it shall be answered. Because
thuy forsook the Lord God of their fa-
thers, which brought them forth out of
tlie land of Egypt, and laid hold on other
cods, and worshipped them, and served
tiiem: tliercfore hath he brought all this
evil upon them. ^^^~r
. CHAPTER yilT.
And/ it came to pass at the end of twenty
years, wherein Solomon had built the
house of the Lord, and his own house,
2 That the cities which Hurara bad re-
stored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and
caused the children of Israel to dwell there,
3 And Solomon went to ^ Hamath-zobab,
and prevailed against it.
4 And lie built Tadmor in the wilder-
ness, and all the store cities, which he
built in Ilamath.
5 Also he built Beth-horon* the upper,
and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities,
with walls, gates, and bars ;
6 And Baalath, and all the store cities
that Solomon had, and all the chariot
cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and
all ^that Solomon desired' to build in Je-
rusalem, and in Lebanon,"' and through-
out all the land of his dominion.
7 As for aU the people that tvere left of
the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Perizzites. and the Hivites, and the Je-
busites, wliich were not of Israel,
8 JBttt of their children, who were left
after them in the land, whom the cliildren
of Israel consumed not, them did Solo-
mon make to pay tribute " until this day.
9 But of the children of Israel did Solo-
mon make no servants for his work; but
they toere men of war, and chief of his
captains, and captains of his chariots and
horsemen.
10 And these were the chief of king
Solomon's officers, even two? hundred
and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
11 And Solomon brought up the daugh-
ter •" of Pharaoh out of the city of David
unto the house that he had built for her :
for he said. My wife shall not dwell in
the house of David king of Israel, be-
cause the places are ^holy whereunto the
ark of the Lord hath come.
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings
unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord,
which he had built before the"" porch,
13 Even after a certain rate every ^ day,
offering according to tlie commandment
of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new
moons, and on the solemn feasts, three"
times in the year, even in the feast of un-
leavened bread, and in the feast of weeks,
and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 And he appointed, according to the
order of David his father, the courses*
of the priests to their service, and the
Lcvites to their charges, to praise and
inimstcr before the pi-iests, as the duty of
every day required; the porters'' also by
Vieir courses at every gate; for so "had
David the man of Qod commanded.
15 And they departed not from the com-
mandment ot the king unto the priests
and Levites, concerning any matter, or
concerning the treasures.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was

5 And he said unto them. Come again
unto me after three days. And the peo-
ple departed.
6 And king Eehoboam took* counsel
with the old* men that had stood before
Solomon his father"^ while he yet lived,
saying, What counsel give ye me, to re-
turn answer to this people ?
7 And they spake unto him, saying. If
thou be kind to this people, and please
them, and speak* good words to them,
they wiU be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel which the
old men gave him, and/ took counsel with
the young men that were brought up
with him, that stood before him.
9 And he said unto them. What advice
give ye, that we may return answer to
this people, which have spoken to me,
saying. Ease somewhat the yoke that thy
father did put upon us ?
10 And the young men that were
brought up with him spake unto him, say-
ing, Thus shalt thou answer the people
that spake unto thee, saying. Thy father
made our yoke heavy, but make thou if
somewhat lighter for us ; thus shalt thou
say unto them. My little finger shall be
thicker than my father's loins.
11 For whereas my father 'J put a heavy
yoke upon you, I will put more to your
yoke : my father chastised you with whips,
but I zoill chastise you with scorpions.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people
came to Eehoboam on the third day, as
the king bade, saying. Come again to me
on the third day.
13 And the king answered them rough-
ly: and king Eehoboam* forsook the
counsel of the old men,
14 And answered them after the advice
of the young men, saying, My father made
your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto :
my father chastised you with whips, but
I ioill chastise you with scorpions.
15 So' the king hearkened not unto the
people ; for « the cause was of God, that
the LoED might perform his word, which
he spake " by the hand of Ahijah the Shi-
lonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 And when all Israel sato that the
king would not hearken unto them, the
people answered the king, saying,' What
portion have we in David? and loe have
none inheritance in the son of Jesse :
every man to your tents, O Israel: and
now, David, see to thiae own house. So
all Israel went to their tents.
17 But as for the children of Israel that
dwelt in the cities of Judah, Eehoboam
reigned over them.
18 Then king Eehoboam sent Hado-
ram," that toas over the tribute ; and the
children of Israel stoned him with stones
that he died : but king Eehoboam m made
speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee
to Jerusalem.
19 And*" Israel rebelled against the
house of David unto this day.

when Eehoboam was come to
Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of
Judah and Benjamin an himdred and
fourscore thousand chosen men, which
were warriors, to fight against Israel,
that he might bring the kingdom again
to Eehoboam.
2 But^ the word of the Loed came

to Shemaiah " tlio man of God, saying,
3 Speak unto Eehoboam the son ot bo-
lomon, kinf,' of Judah, and to all Israel
in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 Thus saith the Loud, Ye shall not
KG up nor fight against your'' brethren:
return every man to his house ; for'' this
thing is done of me. And they obeyed
tlio words of the Loud, and returned
from going against Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem,
and built cities for defence in Judah.
G He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam,
and Tekoa, , . i n
7 And Beth-zur,andShoco,andAdullam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

bron, which are in Judah and in Benja-
min fenced cities.
11 And ho fortified* the strong holds,
and put captains "• in them, and store of
victual, and of oil and wine.
12 And in every several city he put shields
and spears, and made them exceeding strong,
having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 And the priests and the Levites that
were in all Israel 7 resorted to liim out of
all their coasts.
14 For the Levites left their ^ suburbs,
and their possession, and came to Judah
and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his
sons had cast them off^ from executing
the priest's office unto the Lord :
15 And* he ordained him priests for the
liigh places, and for the devUs,* and for
the calves" which he had made.
16 And after them, out of all'" the
tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts
to seek the Loed God of Israel, came
to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Loed
God of their fathers.
17 So they strengthened* the kingdom
of Judah, and made Eehoboam the son
of Solomon strong, three years : for three
years they walked in the way of David
and Solomon.
18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath
the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of Da-
vid to wife, and Abihail the daughter of
Eliab the son of Jesse ;
r.) Which bare him children; Jeush,
and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 And after her he took ]\Iaachah* the
daugliter of Absalom, which bare him Abi-
jah, and Attai. and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the
daughter of Absalom above all his wives
and his concubines : (for he took eighteen
wives, and threescore concubines ; and
begat twenty and eight sons, and three-
score daughters.)
22 And Rehoboam made** Abijah the son
of IMaachali the chief, to be ruler among his
brethren : for he thought to make him king.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of
all his children throughout all the coun-
tries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every
fenced city ; and he gave them victual in
abundance. And he desired ^ many wives,

Jvoid place at the entering
in of the gate of Samaria ; and all the
prophets prophesied before them.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah
had made him horns of iron, and said.
Thus' saith the Lord, With these thou
shalt push Syria until *« they be consumed.
11 And all the prophets prophesied so,
saying. Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and
prosper; for the Lord shall deliver it
into the hand of the king.
12 And the messenger that went to
call Micaiah spake to him, saying. Be-
hold, the words of the prophets declare
good to the king with one ^assent: let"'
thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like
one of their's, and speak thou good.
13 And Micaiah said. As the Lord liveth,
even" what my God saith, that will I speak.
14 And when he was come to the king,
the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we
go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall
I forbear? And he said. Go ye up, and
prosper, and they shall be delivered into
your hand.
15 And the kiug said to him. How ma-
ny times shall I adjure thee, that thou
say nothing but the truth to me in the
name of the Lord ?
16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scat-
tered^ upon the mountains, as sheep that
have no shepherd : and the Lord said.
These have no master ;«_ let them return,
therefore^ every man to his house in peace.
17 Ana the king of Israel said to Jehosha-
phat, Did I not teU thee that he Avould
not prophesy good unto me, "^ but evil ?
18 Again he said. Therefore, hear the word
of the Lord ; I saw" the Lord sitting up-
on his throne, and all the host' of heaven
standing on his right hand, and on his left.
19 And the Lord said, Who shall en-
tice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go
up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one
spake, saying after this manner, and an-
other saying after that manner.
20 Then there came out a spirit,* and
stood before the Lord, and said, I will
entice y him. And the Lord said unto
him, Wherewith ?
21 And he said, I will go out, and be a
lying spirit in the mouth of all his pro-
phets. And the LORD said. Thou shalt
entice him, and thou shalt also prevail :
go out, and do even so.
22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord
hath put" a lying spirit in the mouth of
these thy prophets ; and the Lord hath
spoken eviP against thee.
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah
came near, an,d smote <> Micaiah upon the
cheek, and said. Which way went the Spirit
of the Lord from me to speak imto thee ?

25 So the king ot Israel, and Jehosha-
phat the king of Judah, went up to Ka-
motli-gilcad. ^ ^ , . _ ,
29 And the king of Israel said unto
.Tehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and
will go to the battle ; but put thou on thy
i-obes. So' the king of Israel disguised
himself, and they went to the battle.
30 Now the king of Syria had command-
ed the captains of the chariots that were
with him, saying, Fight ye not with small
or great, save only with the king of Israel.
31 And it came to pass, when the cap-
tains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat,
that they said, It is the king of Israel:
tlierefore they compassed about him to
tight : but Jehoshaphat cried out, and
the Lord helped^ him; and Grod moved
them to depart from him.
32 For it came to pass, that, when the
captains of the chariots perceived that it
was not the king of Israel, they turned
back again from v pursuing him.
33 And a certain man drew a bow ^at
a venture, and smote the king of Israel
between the joints " of the harness : there-
fore he said to his chariot man. Turn
thine hand, that thou mayest carry me
out of the host ; for I am ^ wounded.
3-4 And the battle increased that day:
howbeit the king of Israel stayed him-
self up in Jiis chariot against the Syrians
until the even ; and about the time of the
sun going down he died.
. CHAPTER XIX.
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah re-
turned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2 And Jehu, the son of Hanani' the
seer, went out to meet him, and said to
king Jehoshaphat, Shouldcst thou help
the ungodly, and love" them that hate
the Lord? therefore* is wrath upon
thee from before the Lord.
3 Nevertheless, there are good' things
found in thee, in that thou hast taken
away the groves out of the land, and
hast prepared*^ thine heart to seek God.
4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusa-
lem: aud he ^'went out again through
the people, from Beer-sheba to mount
Epliraim, and brought them back unto
the Lord God o? their fathers.
5 And he set judges/ in the laud, through-
out all the fenced cities of Judah, city by
city,
6 And said to the judges. Take heed
what ye do: for* ye judge not for man,
but for the Lord, who' is with you in
the "judgment.
7 Wherefore now, let the fear of the
l^ORT) be upon you ; take heed and do it :

17 And they came up into Judah, and
brake into it, and carried "n away all the

60 that there was never a sou left him,
save ^ Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 And after all this the Lord smote? him

19 And it came to pass, that in process
of time, after the end of two years, his
bowels fell out by reason of his sickness ;
so he died of sore diseases: and his peo-
ple made no burning for him, Hke the
burning* of his fathers.
20 Thirty and two years old was he

in Jerusalem eight years, and departed
without f being' desired: howbeit they

0 And the Spirit of God ^came upon
Zcchariah the son of Jehoiada the priest,
which stood above the people, and said un-
to them, Thus saith God Why- transgress
ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye
cannot prosper? because* ye have lorsa-
kcn the LoiU), he hath also forsaken you.
21 And they conspired/ against him,
and stoned^ him with stones, at the com-
mandment of the king, in the court ot
the house of the Lord.
22 Thus Joash the king remembered
not the kindness which Jehoiada his la-
ther had done to him, but' slew his son.
And when he died, he said. The Lord
look upon zY, and require^- 27.
23 And it came to pass bat the end ot
the year, that^ the host of Syria came
up against him: and they came to Judah
and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the
princes of the people from among the
people, and sent all the spoil of them
unto the king of ^ Damascus.
24 For the army of the Syrians came
with a small'" company of men, and the
Lord delivered" a very great host into
their hand, because they had forsaken
the Lord God of their fathers. So they
executed judgment*" against Joash.
25 And when they were departed from
him, (for they left him in great diseases,)
his own servants conspired against him
for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada ^
the priest, and slew him on his bed, and
he died: and they buried him in the city
of David, but thej^ buried him not in the
sepulchres of the kings.
26 And these are they that conspired
against him; ^Zabad the son of Shime-
ath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the
Bon of A* Shimrith a Moabitess.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the
greatness of the burdens laid upon him,
and the "repairing of the house of God,
behold, they are written in the 'f story
of the book of the kings. And Amaziah
his son reigned in his stead.
* CHAPTER XXV.
_A.]\IAZIAH * was twenty and five years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned twen-
ty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mo-
ther's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in
the sight of the Lord, but not** with a
perfect heart,
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom
was a"cstabHshed to him, that he slew his
servants that had killed the king his father.
4 But he slew not their children, but
did as it is written* in the law iu the
book of Moses, where the Lord com-
manded, saying, Thev fathers shall not
die lor the children, neither shall the
children die for the fathers, but every
man shall die for his own sLa.
5 Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah
together, and made tlioni captains over
thousands, and captains over hundreds
according to the houses of their fathers,
throughout all Judah and Benjamin : anrf
he numborod thorn from twenty' years old
and above, and found them three hundred
thousand choice men, able to go forth to
war, that could handle spear and shield.

6 He hired also an hundred thousand
mighty men of valour out of Israel for
an hundred talents of silver.
7 But there came a man of God to him,
saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go
with thee ; for the Lord is not with Israel,
to zvit, toith all the children of Ephraim.
8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong
for the battle: God shall make thee fall
before the enemy: for God*^ hath power
to help, and to cast down.
9 And Amaziah said to the man of
God, But what shall we do for the hun-
dred talents which I have given to the
yarmy of Israel? And the man of God
answered. The Lord is able* to give
thee much more than this.
10 Then Amaziah separated them, to tvit,
the army that was come to him out of Eph-
raim, to go 5 home again: wherefore their
anger was greatly kindled against Judah,
and they returned home in v great anger.
11 And Amaziah strengthened himself,
and led forth his people, and went to the
valley of salt, and smote of the children
of Seir ten thousand.
12 A.nd other ten thousand left alive did
the children of Judah carry away captive,
and brought them unto the top of the rock,
and cast them down from the top of the
rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
] 3 But the " soldiers of the army which
Amaziah sent back, that they should not
go with him to battle, fell upon the cities
of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-
horon, and smote three thousand of them,
and took much spoil.
14 Now it came to pass, after that Ama-
ziah was come from the slaughter of the
Edomites, that he brought « the gods of
the children of Seir, and set them up to
be his gods, and bowed >■ down himself be-
fore them, and burned incense unto them.
15 Wherefore the anger of the Lord
was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent
unto him a prophet, which said unto him.
Why hast thou sought after the gods ot
the people, which* could not deliver their
own people out of thine hand ?
16 And it came to pass, as he talked
with him, that the king said unto him,
Art thou made of the king's counsel ? for-
bear ; why shouldest thou be _ smitten ?
Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know
that God hath P determined to destroy
thee, because" thou hast done this, and
hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
17 Then** Amaziah king of Judah took
advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoa-
haz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
Come, let us see one another in the face.
18 And Joash king of Israel sent to
Amaziah king of Judah, saying. The
•^thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the
cedar that tvas in Lebanon, saying. Give
thy daughter to my son to wife : and there
passed by a <^Avild beast that was in Le-
banon, and trode down the thistle.
19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten
the Edomites ; and thine heart lifteth
thee up to boast: abide now at home;
why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt,
that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and
Judah with thee ?
20 But Amaziah would not hear; for
it" came of God, that he might deliver
them into the hand of their enemies, be-
cause they sought after the gods of Edom.
21 So Joash the king of Israel went up ;

22 And Judah was ^pufc to the worse
before Israel; and they fled every man
to his tent.
23 And Joash the king of Israel took
Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash,
the son of Jehoahaz," at Beth-shemesh,
and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake
down the wall of Jerusalem, from the
gate of Ephraim to the ^ corner gate,*
four hundred cubits.
24 And he took all the gold and the sil-
ver, and all the vessels that were found in
the house of Grod with Obed-edom, and
the treasures of the king's house, the hos-
tages also, and returned to Samaria.
25 And'' Amaziah, the son of Joash king of
Judah, lived after the death of Joash, son
of Jehoahaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah,
first and last, behold, are they not writ-
ten in the book of the kings of Judah
and Israel ?
27 Now* after the time that Amaziah did
turn away from ^ following the Loed, they
" made a conspiracy against him in Jerusa-
lem ; and he fled to Lachish : but they sent
to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
28 And they brought him upon horses,
and buried him with his fathers in the
city of ^ Judah.

3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he
began to reign; and he reigned fifty and
two years in Jerusalem. His mother's
name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 And he did that which was right in
the sight of the Lord, according to all
that his father Amaziah did.
5 And he sought God in the days'* of
Zechariah, who had understanding in the
'^visions of God : and as long' as he sought
the Lord, God made him to prosper.
6 And he went forth, and warred against
the Philistines, and brake down the wall
of Gath, and the wall of Jabneli, and the
wall of Ashdod, and biult cities P about
Ashdod, and among the PhUistines.
_ 7^ And God helped him against "> the Phi-
listines,* and against the Arabians that
dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
8 And the Ammonites gave gifts y to
Uzziah: and his name "^spread abroad
even to the entering in of Egypt; for he
strengthened himself exceedingly.
9 Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Je-
rusalem, at the corner gate,* and at the
valley gate, and at the turning of the ^oall,
and '■fortified them.
10 Also he built towers in the desert,
and ^digged many weUs: for he had
much cattle, both in the low country and
m the plains; husbandmen also, and vine-
dressers in the mountains, and in X Car-
mel : for he loved "A husbandry.
11 Moreover, Uzziah had an host of
fighting men, that went out to war by
bands, according to the number of theii-
account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe
and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand
of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

statutes, with all his heart, and with all

venant which are written in this book.
32 And he caused all that were /* pre-
sent in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand
to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem
did according to the covenant of God, the
God of their fathers.

nations« out of all the countries that per-
tained to the children of Israel, and made
all that were present in Israel to serve, even

2 And he set the priests in their'* charges,
and encouraged them to the service of
the house of the Loed,
3 And said imto the Levites that taught
all'' Israel, which were holy unto the
Lord, Put the holy ark in the house which
Solomon the son of David king of Israel
did build : it^ shall not he a burden upon
your shoulders ; serve now the LoED your
God, and his people Israel,
4 And prepare yourselves by the houses
of your fathers, after your courses, ac-
cording to the writing of David « king of
Israel, and according to the writing of
Solomon/ his son.
5 And stands' in the holy place, according
to the divisions of the ^families of the fa-
thers of your 1 brethren the people, and after
the division of the families of the Levites.
I So kill the passover, and sanctify'
yourselves, and prepare your brethren,
that they may do according to the word of
the Loed by the hand of Moses.
7 And Josiah ^gave to'' the people, of
the flock, lambs and kids, aU for the pass-
over oiferings, for all that were present,
to the number of thirty thousand, and
three thousand bullocks : these loere of
the king's substance.
8 And his princes ^gave willingly unto
the people, to the priests, and to the Le-
vites : Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel,
rulers of the house of God, gave unto the
priests for the passover oiferings, two
thousand and six hundred small cattle,
and three hundred oxen.
9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and
Nethaneel his brethren, and Hashabiah,
and Jeiel, and Jozabad, chief of the Le-
vites, ^gaye unto the Levites, for pass-
over offerings, five thousand small cattle,
and five hundred oxen.
10 So the service was prepared, and the
priests stood in their place, and the Le-
vites in their courses,* according to the
king's commandment.
11 And* they killed the passover, and
the priests sprinkled the Mood from their
hands, and the Levites flayed them.
12 And they removed the burnt ofierings,
that they might give according to the divi-
sions of the families of the people, to offer
unto the Loed, as it w written* in the book
of Moses : and so did they with the oxen.
13 And they roasted^' the passover with
fire, according to the ordinance : but the
other holy offerings sod* they in pots, and
in caldrons, and in pans, and ^divided
them speedily among all the people.
14 And afterward they naade ready for
themselves, and for the priests: because
the priests the sons of Aaron loere busied
in offering of burnt offerings and the fat
until night; therefore the Levites pre-
pared for themselves, and for the priests
the sons of Aaron.
15 And the singers the sons of Asaph,
were in their »' place, according to the com-
mandment of David,* and Asaph, and
Heman, and Jeduthuu the king's seer :
and the porters'' tuaited at every gate ;
they might not depart from their service :
for their brethren the Levites prepared
for them.
16 So all the service of the Loed was
prepared the same day, to keep the pass-
over, and to offer burnt offerings upon
the altar of the Loed, according to the
commandment of king Josiah.
The death of Josiah.
2 CHEONICLES. XXXYI. Destruction of Jerusalem,
17 And the cHLdren of Israel that were
P present kept the passover at that time, and
the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 And there was no passover like to
that kept in Israel, from the days of Sa-
muel the prophet J neither did all the
kings of Israel keep such a passover as
Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Le-
vites, and all Judah and Israel that were
present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign
of Josiah was this passover kept,
20 After <^ all this, when Josiah had pre-
pared the ^temple, Necho^ king of Egypt
came up to fight against Charchemish by
Euphrates : and Josiah went out against him.
21 But he sent ambassadors to him,
saying. What have I to do with thee, thou
king of Judah ? I cone not against thee
this day, but against the house ''where-
with I have war; for God commanded
me to make haste : forbear thee from
meddling with God, who is with me, that
he destroy thee not.
22 Nevertheless, Josiah would not turn
his face from him, but disguised himself,
that he might fight with him, and heark-
ened not unto the words of Necho from
the mouth of God, and came to fight in
the valley of Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah :
and the king said to his servants, Have
me away ; for I am sore ^ wounded,
24 His servants therefore took him out of
that chariot, and put him in the second cha-
riot that he had ; and they brought him to Je-
rusalem, and he died, and was buried '^in
one of the sepulchres of his fathers : and all
Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 And Jeremiah lamented"* for Jo-
siah; and all the singing men'' and the
singing women spake of Josiah in their
lamentations to this day, and made them
an ordinance i' in Israel : and, behold,
they are written in the Lamentations.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah,
and his o- goodness, according to that
lohich ivas written in the law of the Loed,
27 And his deeds, first and last, behold,
they are written in the book of the kings
of Israel and Judah.
rp, CHAPTER XXXYI.
JLHENa the people of the land took Je-
lioahaz the son of Josiah, and made him
king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years
old when he began to reign ; and he
reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt put him down at
eTerusalem, and X condemned the land in an
hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 And the king of Egypt made EUakim
liis brother king over Judah and Jerusa-
lem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim.
Ana Necho took Jehoahaz his brother,
and carried him to Egypt.
5 Jehoiakim loas twenty and five years
old when he began to reign ; and he reigned
eleven years in Jerusalem : and he did that
which toas evil in the sight of the Lord
his God.
6 Against"' him came up Nebuchadnez-
zar king of Babylon, and bound him in
^ fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the

Foundation of the temple laid. EZRA, IV.
eons of Henadad, wiVA their sous and theii*
brethren the Levites.
10 And when the builders" laid the
foundation of the temple of the Lokd,
they set* the priests in their apparel with
trumpets, and the Levites the sous of
Asaph with cymbals to yraise the Lord,
after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
11 And they sang together by bourse, in
praising and giving thanks unto the Lord ;
because '^ he is good, for his mercy endur-
eth for ever toward Israel. And all the
people shouted with a great shout, when
they praised the Lord, because the foun-
dation/of the house of the Lord Avas laid.
12 Buti' many of the priests and Levites,
and ciiief of the fathers, ^oho were ancient
men, that had seen the first house, Avhen
the foundation of tliis house was laid be-
fore their eyes, wept* with a loud voice;
and many shouted' aloud for joy ;
13 iSo that the people could not discern
the noise of the shout of joy from the
noise of the weeping ' of the people : for
the people shouted with a loud shout, and
the noise was heard afar off.
CBAPTER IV.
JN^OW when the adversaries" of Judah
and Benjamin heard that the ^childi'en
of the captivity builded the temple unto
the Lord G-od of Israel,
2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and
to the chief of the fathers, and said unto
them, Let us build with you ; for " we seek
your Grod, as ye do ^ and we do sacrifice
unto him, since the days of Esar-haddon^
king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the
rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel,
said unto them. Ye*" have nothing to do
with us to build an house unto our Grod ;
but we ourselves together will build unto
the Lord God of Israel, as king* Cyrus,
the king of Persia, hath commanded us.
4 Then the people of the land" weak-
ened the hands of the people of Judah,
and troubled "" them in bmlding ;
5 And hired counsellors* against them,
to frustrate their purpose, aU the days of
CKtus king of Persia, even until the reign
of Darius king of Persia.
6 And in the reign of o"Ahasuerus, in
the Ijeginuiug of his reign, wrote they
unto him an accusation against the inha-
bitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote
^ Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest
of then* companions, unto Artaxerxes
king of Persia: and the writing of the
letter loas written in the Syrian tongue,
and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
8 Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai
the V' scribe, wrote a letter against Jeru-
salem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort :
9 Then lorote Rehum the chancellor,
and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of
their ^ companions ; the Dinaites," the
Apharsathchites, the Tarpehtes, the Aphar-
sites, the Arehevites, the Babylonians, the
Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Ela-
mites,
10 And the rest of the nations whom the
great and noble* Asnapper brought over,
and set m the cities of Samaria, and the
rest that are on this side the river, and V at
such a time.*^
11 This is the copy of the letter that
they sent unto hmi, even imto Artaxerxes
Opposition made to the Jews.
322
the king : Thy servants, the men on this
side the river, and at such a time.
12 Be it known unto the king, that the
Jews which came up from thee to us are
come unto Jerusalem, building the rebel-
lions'^ and the bad city, and have ^set up
the walls thereof and 7 joined the foun-
dations.
13 Be it knoAvn now unto the king, that
if this city be builded, and the walls set
up again, then will they not ^pay toll,
tribute, « and custom, and so thou shalt
endamage the ^revenue of the kings,
14 Now, because we *? have maintenance
from the king's palace, and it was not meet
for us to see the king's dishonour, there-
fore have we sent and certified the king,
15 That search may be made in the
book of the records of thy fathers : so shalt
thou find in the book of the records, and
know, that this city is a rebellious city,
and hurtful* unto kings and provinces,
and that they have ^ moved sedition
1^ within the same of old time : for which
cause was this city destroyed."*
16 We certify the king, that if this city
be builded again, and the walls thereof
set up, by this means thou shalt have no
portion on this side the river.
17 Then sent the king an answer unto
Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai
the scribe, and to the rest of their ^com-
panions that dwell in Samaria, and uiito
the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at
such a time.
18 The letter which ye sent unto us hath
been plainly read before me.
19 And ^ I commanded, and search hath
been made, and it is founds that this city
of old time hath '^made insurrection
against kings, and that rebeUiou and se-
dition have been made therein.
20 There have been mighty kings also
over Jerusalem, which* have ruled over
all countries beyond « the river; and toll,
tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
21 P G-ive ye now commandment to
cause these men to cease, and that this
city be not builded, until another com-
mandment shall be given from me.
22 Take heed now that ye fad not to do
tliis : why shoidd damage grow to the hurt
of the kings ?
23 Now when the cop5^ of king Ai'ta-
xerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and
Shimshai the scribe, and their companions,
they went up in haste to Jerusalem, unto
the Jews, and made them to cease by
X force and power.
24 Then ceased the work of the house of
God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased
unto the second year of the reign of Da-
rius king of Persia.
CHAPTER V.
XHEN" the prophets, Haggai^' the pro-
phet, and Zechariah* the son of Iddo,
prophesied imto the Jews that toere in
Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the
God of Israel, even unto them.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak,
and began to budd the house of God
which is at Jerusalem: and with them
toere the prophets of God helping them.
3 At the same time came to them Tat-
nai, governor on this side the river, and
Shethar-boznai, and their companions,
and said thus unto them, Who hath com-
The Jews misrepresented.
manded you to build this house, and to
make up this wall ?
4 Then said we unto them after this
manner, What are the names of the men
that ^ make this building ?
5 But the eyC of their Grod was upon
the elders of the Jews, that they could
not'' cause them to cease, till the matter
came to Darius: and then they returned «
answer by letter concerning this matter.
6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai,
governor on this side the river, and She-
thar-boznai, and his companions the Aph-
arsachites, which loere on this side the
river, sent unto Darius the king :
7 They sent a letter unto him, y where-
in was written thus : Unto Darius the
king, aU peace.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we
went into the province of Judea, to the
house of the great Grod, which is builded
with ^great stones, and timber is laid in
the walls, and this work goeth fast on,
and prospereth in their hands.
9 Then asked* we those elders, and
said tmto them thus, Who commanded
you to build this house, and to make up
these walls ?
10 We asked their names also, to cer-
tify thee, that we might write the names
of the men that were the chief of them.
11 And thus they returned us answer,
saying, We are the servants' of the Grod
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 pro-
voked the Grod of heaven imto wrath, he
gave them" into the hand of Nebuchad-
nezzar the king of Babylon, the Chal-
dean, who destroyed ^ this house, and
carried the people away into Babylon.
13 But 5 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 Grod, which Nebu-
chadnezzar took* out of the temple that
loas in Jerusalem, and brought them into
the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus
the king take out of the temple of Baby-
lon, and they were delivered unto one'"
whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he
had made v governor ;
15 And said xmto him. Take these ves-
sels, go, carry them into the temple that
is in Jerusalem, and let the house of Grod
be builded in his place.
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar,
and laid/ the foundation of the house of
Grod which is in Jerusalem : and since
that time, even until now, hath it been
in building, and i/ef^ it is not finished.
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the
king, let there be search* made in the
king's treasure house, which 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 his pleasure to us concerning
this matter.

in the palace that is in the province of the
Medes, a roU, and therein tvas a record
thus written :
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king,
tJie soAne Cyrus the king made a decree
concerning^ the house of God at Jerusa-
lem, Let the house be builded, the place <^
where they ofiered sacrifices, and let the
foundations thereof be strongly laid ; the
height thereof threescore cubits, and the
breadth thereof threescore cubits ;
4 Withf three rows of great stones, and
a row of new timber : and let the ex-
pences be given out of the king's house.
5 And also let the golden and silver
vessels o of the house of God, which Ne-
buchadnezzar took forth out of the tem-
ple which is at Jerusalem, and brought
unto Babylon, be restored, andSbrought
again imto the temple, which is at Jeru-
salem, every one to ms place, and place
them in the house of God.
6 Now therefore, Tatnai,^ governor be-
yond the river, Shethar-boznai, and "n your
companions the Apharsachites, which are
beyond the river, be ye far from thence ;
7 Let* the work of this house of God
alone ; let the governor of the Jews, and
the elders of the Jews, build this house
of God in his place.
8 Moreover. ^ I make a decree what ye
shall do to tlie elders of these Jews, for
the building of this house of God ; that,
of the king's goods, even^ of the tribute
beyond the river, forthwith expences be
given unto these men, that they be not
« hindered.
9 And that which they have need of,
both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs,
for the burnt ofierings of the God of
heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, ac-
cording to the appointment of the priests
which are at Jerusalem, let it be-P given
them day by day without fail ;
10 Thaf they may offer sacrifices ^of
sweet savours unto the God of heaven,
and pray for* the life of the king, and of
his sons.
11 Also I have made a decree that who-
soever shall alter this word, let timber be
pulled down from his house, and, being set
up, let him be f* hanged thereon ; and let
his house" be made a dunghill for this.
12 And the God, that hath caused his
name^ to dwell there, destroy* aU kings
and people that shall put to their hand to
alter and to destroy this house of God
which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have
made a decree ; let it be done with speed.
13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side
the river, Shethar-boznai, and their com-
panions, according to that which Darius
the king had sent, so they did speedily.
14 And* the elders of the Jews builded,
and they prospered through the prophesy-
ing of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah
the son of Iddo : and they builded, and
finished it, according to the command-
ment of the God of Israel, and according
to the '^commandment of Cyrus, « and
Darius,*^ and Artaxerxes king* of Persia.
15 And this house was miished on the
third day of the month Adar, which was
in the sixth year of the reign of Darius
the king.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests
and the Levites, and the rest of the '^ chil-
dren of the captivity, kept s* the dedica-
tion of this house of God with joy,*
B. C. 457.
jEzra's arrival at Jerusaleai. EZEA, VII.
17 And offered" at tlie dedication of
this house of God an hundred bullocks,
two hundred rams, four hundred lambs ;
and, for a sin offering for aU Israel,
twelve he goats, according to the number
of the tribos of Israel. . .,,.,..
18 And they set the priests^ in their divi-
sions, and the Levites' in then- courses, tor
tlie service of God which is at Jerusalem ;
y as it is written^ in the book of Moses.
19 And the cliilcben of the captivity
kept the passover upon the fourteenth
(f«//' of the fh-st month. .
20 For the priests and the Levites were
purified' together, all of them were pure,
and killed'" the passover for all the cliil-
dreu of the captivity, and for their breth-
ren the priests, and for themselves.
21 And the childi-en of Israel, which were
come again out of captivity, and all such as
had separated themselves unto them from
the filthinessP of the heathen of the land,
to seek the Loed God of Israel, did eat,
22 And kept the feasts of unleavened
bread seven days Avith joy : for the Loed
had made them joj-ful, and turned the
heart* of the king of Assyria unto them,
to strengthen theu* hands in the work of
the house of God, the God of Israel.
^T CHAPTER VII.
JM OW after these things, in the reign
of Artaxerxes* king of Persia, Ezra the
son of Seraiah," the son of Azariah, the
sou of Hilkiak
2 The son oi Shallum, the son of Zadok,
the son of Ahitub.
3 The son of Amariah, the son of Aza-
riah, the son of Meraioth,
4 The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi,
the son of Bukki,
5 The son of Abishua, the son of Phi-
nehas," the son of Eleazar, the son of
Aaron "^ the chief priest :
6 This Ezra went wp from Babylon;
and he was a ready scribe' in the law of
Moses, which the Loed God of Israel
had given : and the king granted him all
his request according « to the hand of the
Loed his God upon him.
7 And* there went up some of the chil-
dren of Israel, and of the priests, and the
Levites, and the singers, and the porters,
and the Nethinims,'^ unto Jerusalem, in
the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth
month, which ioas in the seventh year of
the king.
9 For upon the fii-st dai/ of the first
month V began he to go up from Babylon,
and on the first dai/ of the fifth month
came he to Jerusalem, according/ to the
good hand of his God upon him.
10 For Ezra had prepared^' his heart to
seek '^ the law of the Loed, and to do ' it,
and to teach* in Israel statutes and judg-
ments.
11 Now this is the copy of the letter
that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra

words of the commandments of the Loed,
and of his statutes to Israel.

The decree of Artaxerxes.
14 Forasmuch as thou art sent ^of the
king, and of his seven* counsellors, to
inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem,
according to the law of thy God which is
in thine hand ;
15 And to carry the silver and gold,
which'' the king and his counsellors have
freely offered unto the God of Israel,
whose habitation/ is in Jerusalem,
16 And* all the silver and gold that
thou canst find in all the province of Ba-
bjdon, Avith the freewill offering of the
people, and of the priests, offering* will-
ingly tor the house of their God which is
in Jerusalem ;
17 That thou mayest buy speedily with
this money, bullocks, rams, lambs, with
their meat offerings," and their drink
offerings, and offer them upon the" altar
of the house of your God which is in Je-
rusalem.
18 And whatsoever shall seem good to
thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the
rest of the silver and the gold, that do*"
after the will of your God.
19 The vessels also that are given thee
for the service of the house of thy God,
those dehver thou before the God of Je-
rusalem.
20 And whatsoever more shall be need-
ful for the house of thy God, which thou
shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it
out of the king's treasure house.
21 And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king,
do make a decree to aU the treasm*ers
which are beyond the river, that what-
soever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the
law of the God of heaven, shall require
of you, it be done speedily,
22 Unto an hundred talents of silver,
and to an hundred ^ measures of wheat,
and to an hundred baths of wine, and to
an hundred baths of oil, and salt without
prescribing how much.
23 Whatsoever is ^ commanded y by the
God of heaven, let it be diligently* done
for the house of the God of heaven : for
why should there be wrath against the
realm of the king and his sons ?
24 Also we certify you, that touching
any of the priests and Levites, singers,
porters, Netliinims, or ministers of tliis
house of God, it shall not be lawful to im-
pose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of
thy God that is in thine hand, set magis-
trates'^ and judges, which may judge aU
the people that are beyond the river, aH
such as know the laws of thy God; and
teach « ye them that know them not.
26 And whosoever %vill not do the law
of thy God, and the law of the king, let
judgment be executed speedily upon him,
whether it he unto death, or to ^banish-
ment, or to confiscation of goods, or to
imprisonment.
27 Blessed' he the Loed God of our fa-
thers, which hath put"* such a thing as this
in the king's heart, to beautify the house
of the Loed wliich is in Jerusalem ;
28 And" hath extended mercy unto
me before the king, and his counsellors,
and before all the king's mighty princes.
And I was strengthened as^ the hand of
the Loed my God toas upon me; and
I gathered together out of Israel chief
men to go up with me.

14 Of the sons also of Bigvai ; Uthai, and

15 And I gathered them together to the
river that runneth to Ahava; and there
'J abode we in tents three days: and I
viewed the people and the priests, and
found there none" of the sons of Levi.
16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for
Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Ja-
rib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and
for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief
men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan,

17 And I sent them with commandment
unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia,
and ^I told them what they should say
unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Ne-
thinims, at the place Casipliia, that they
should bring'" unto us ministers for the
house of our Grod.
18 And, by the good hand of our God

Their arrival at Jerusalem.
king a band of soldiers and horsemen to
help us against the enemy in the way:
because we had spoken unto the king,
saying, The hand* of our God is upon all
them for good that seek" him: but his
power and his wrath* is against all them
that forsake him.
23 So we fasted, and besought our God
for this ; and he was entreated «' of us.
24 Then I separated twelve of the chief
of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and
ten of their brethren with them,
25 And weighed unto them the* silver,
and the gold, and the vessels, even the'
ofiering of the house of our God, wliich
the king, and his counsellors, and his lords,
and all Israel there present, had offered ;
26 I even weighed unto their hand six
hundred and fifty talents of silver, and
silver vessels an hundi-ed talents, and of
gold an hundi'ed talents ;
27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a
thousand drams ; and two vessels of ^fine
copper, 7 precious as gold.
28 And I said unto them. Ye are* holy
unto the Lord; the vessels^ are holy
also ; and the silver and the gold are a
fi'eewill offering unto the Loed God of
your fathers :
29 Watch ye, and kee]5 them, until ye
weigh them before the chief of the priests
and the Levites, and chief of the mthers
of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers
of the house of the Lord.
30 So took the priests and the Levites
the weight of the silver, and the gold, and
the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem,'
unto the house of our God.
31 Then we departed from the river
of Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first
month, to go imto Jerusalem: and"* the
hand of our God was upon us, and he de-
Uvered us from the hand of the enemy,
and of such as lay in wait by the way.
32 And" we came to Jerusalem, and
abode there three days.
33 Now on the fourth day was the silver,
and the gold, and the vessels,^ weighed
in the house of our God by the hand of
Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest;
and with him ipas Eleazar the son of Phi-
nehas ; and with them was Jozabad the
son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of
Binnui, Levites ;
34 By number and by weight of every
one: and all the weight was written at
that time.
35 Also the children of those that had
been carried away, which were come out
of the captivity, offered* burnt offerings
unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks
for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy
and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a
sin offering: all this was a burnt offering
unto the Lord.
36 And they delivered the king's com-
missions" unto the king's heutenants,
and to the governors on this side the
river; and they furthered the people, and
the house of God.
CHAPTER IX.
JYoW when these things were done, the
princes came to me, saying. The people of
Israel, and the priests, and the Levites,
have not separated" themselves from the
people of the lands, doing*' according to
their abominations, even of the Canaanites,
the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites,
Ezra^s prayer and confession.
the Ammonites, the Moabitcs, the Egyp-
tians, and the Amoritcs.
2 i'ov they have taken* of their daugh-
ters for themselves, and for theu- sons; so
that the holy'' seed have ^mingled them-
selves with the people of tliose lands: yea,
the hand of the princes and rulers hath
been chief in this trespass
3 And when I heard tins thing, Is i;ent
mv gannent and my mantle, and plucked
oli' the hair'^ of my head and of my beard,
and sat down astonied.'
4 Then were assembled unto me every
one that trembled* at the words of the
God of Israel, because of the transgression
of those that had been carried away ; and
I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.''
5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose
up from my ^ heaviness; and having rent
my garment and my mantle, I fell upon
my knees, and spread^ out my hands unto
the Lord my (rod, ^ , ^ . ,
6 And said, O my G-od, I am* ashamed
and blush to lift up my face to thee, my
God: for our iniquities are increased over
our head,^ and our ^trespass is grown"
up imto the heavens.
7 Since the days of our fathers^ Tiave
we leen in a great trespass unto this day:
and for our iniquities have we, our kings,
and our priests, been delivered^ into the
hand of the kings of the lands, to the
sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to
confusion of face, as it is this day.
8 And now for a little 'J space grace
hath been shewed fi-om the Loed our God,
to leave us a remnant to escape, and to
give us ^ a nail in his holy place, that our
God may lighten^ our eyes, and give us
a little reviving'' in our bondage.
9 For we loere bondmen;* yet<^ our
God hath not forsaken us in our bondage,
but hath extended mercy unto us in the
sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a
reviving, to set up the house of our God,
and to ^repair the desolations thereof,
and to give us a wall*^ in Judah and in
Jerusalem.
10 And now, O our God, what shall we
say after tliis? for we have forsaken thy
commandments,
11 Which thou hast commanded Mby
thy servants _ the prophets, saying. The
land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an
unclean land with the filthiness of the
people of the lands, with their abomina-

art not sick? this is nothing else but
sorrow* of heart. Then I was very sore
afraid,
3 And said unto the king. Let*' the
king live for ever: why should not my
countenance be sad, when the city,<^ the
place of my fathers' sepulchres, « lieth
waste, and the gates thereof are con-
sumed with fire ?
4 Then the king said unto me, For
what dost thou make request? So I
prayed/ to the God of heaven.
5 And I said unto the king. If it please
the king, and if thy servant have found
favour in thy sight, that thou woiddest
send me unto Judah, unto the city of my
fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
6 And the king said unto me, (the
/3 queen also sitting by him,) For how
long shall thy journey be ? and when wilt
thou return? So it_ pleased the 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 may convey me over, till I come
into Judah ;
8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper
of the king's forest, that he may give me
timber to make beams for the gates of the
palace which appertai^ied to the house,
and for the wall of the city, and for the
housed 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 be-
yond the river, and gave them the king's
letters. Now the king had sent captains
of the army and horsemen with me.
10 When SanbaUat the Horonite, and
Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard
of it, it grieved" them exceedingly that
there was come a man to seek the welfare
of the children of Israel.
11 So"" I came to Jerusalem, and was
there three days.
12 And I arose in the night, I and some
few men with me ; neither told I any man
what my God^ had put in my heart to do
at Jerusalem : neither toas there any beast
with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
13 And I went out by night, by the
gate" of the valley, even before the
dragon well, and to the dung port, and
viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which
were*^ broken down, and the gates there-
of were consumed with fire.
14 Then I went on to the gate of the
fountain,/ and to the king's pool : but
there teas no place for the beast that ivas
under me to pass.
15 Then went I up in the night by the
brook,* and viewed the wall, and turned
back, and entered by the gate of the val-
ley, and so returned.
16 And the rulers knew not whither I
went, or what I did; neither had I as yet
told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor
to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the
rest that did the work.

17 Then said I unto tliem, Ye see the
distress that we are in, how Jerusalem
lieth waste * and the gates thereof are
burned with fire: come, and let us build
up the waU of Jerusalem, that we be no
more a reproach.*' , , „
18 Then I told them of the hand** of
my Grod, which was good upon me; as
also the king's words that he had spoken
unto me. And they said, Let us rise up
and build. So they strengthened/ their
hands for this good work.
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite,
and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite,
and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they
laughed* us to scorn, and despised us,
and said. What is this thing that ye do?
will ye rebel' against the king ?
20 Then answered I them, and said
unto them, The G-od of heaven, he' will
prosper us ; therefore we, his servants,
will arise and build: but ye"* have no
portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Je-
rusalem."
rr, CHAPTER III.
JLHEN Eliashib" the high priest rose
up with his brethren the priests, and they
builded the 9 sheep gate; they sanctified
it, and set up the doors of it ; even unto
the tower of Meah"" they sanctified it,
unto the tower* of Hananeel.
2 And ^next unto him buUded the
men of Jericho." And next to them
builded Zaccur the son of Imri.
3 But the" fish gate did the sons of
Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams
thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the
locks thereof, and the bars thereof,
4 And next unto them repaired Mere-
moth, the son of Urijah, the son of Koz.
And next unto them repaired Meshullam
the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshe-
zabeel. And next unto them repaired
Zadok the son of Baana.
5 And next unto them the Tekoites
repaired; but theu* nobles* put not their
necks to the worky of their Lord.
6 Moreover, the old gate repaired Je-
hoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam
the son of Besodeiah : they laid the beams
thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and
the locks thereof, and the bars thereof
7 And next imto them repaired Mela-
tiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Mero-
nothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Miz-
pah, unto the_ throne* of the governor on
this side the river.
8 Next unto him repaired Uzziel the
son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next
unto him also repau'ed Hananiah the son
of one of the apothecaries, and they v for-
tified Jerusalem unto the broad wall./
9 And next xmto them repaired Ee-
Ehaiah, the son of Hur, the ruler of the
alf part of Jerusalem.
10 And next unto them repaired Je-
daiah, the son of Harumaph, even over
against his house. And next unto him
repaired Hattush, the son of Hashabniah.
11 Malchijah the son of Harim, and
Hashub the son of Pahath-moab, repaired
the ^ other piece, and the tower of the
furnaces.
12 And next unto him repaired ShaUum

cause of the dearth.
4 There were also that said, We have
borrowed money for the king's tribute,
and that upon our lands and vineyards.
5 Yet now our flesh" is as the flesh of
our brethren, our children as their chil-
dren : and, lo, we bring into bondage our
sons and our daughters to be servants, and
some of our daughters"" are brought unto
bondage already: neither is it iu our
power to redeem them; for other men
have our lands and vinej^ards.
6 And I was very angry when I heard
their cry, and these words.
7 Then Ml consulted with myself, and
I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and
said unto them. Ye exact usury, ^^ every
one of liis brother. And I set a great
assembly against them :
8 And I said unto them. We, after our
ability, have redeemed^ our brethren the
Jews, which were sold unto the heathen;
and wiU ye even sell your brethren? or
shall they be sold unto us? Then held
they their peace, and found nothing to
ansioer.
9 Also I said. It is not good that ye do :
ought ye not to walk in the fear* of our
God, because of the reproach'* of the
heathen our enemies ?
10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my
servants, might exact of them money and
corn : I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
11 Eestore, I pray you, to them, even
this day, their lands, their vineyards, their
oliveyards, and their houses, also the
Plot of Sanballat^ Sfc.
hundrecltlL i^art of tlie money, and of the
com, the wme, and the oil, that ye exact
of them.
12 Then said they, We will restore them,
and will require nothing of them ; so will
we do as thou sayest. Then I called the
priests, and* took an oath of them, that
they should do according to this promise.
13 Also I shook* my lap, and said, So
Grod shake out every man from his house,
and from his labour, that performeth not
this promise, even thus be he shaken out,
and ^emptied. And'' all the congrega-
tion said. Amen, and praised the Lord.
And* the people did according to this
promise.
14 Moreover, from the time that I was
appointed to be their governor in the
land of Judah, from the twentieth year
even unto the two and thirtieth/ year of
Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years,
I and my brethren have not* eaten the
bread of the governor.
15 But the former governors that had
been before me were chargeable unto the
people, and had taken of them bread and
wine, beside forty shekels of silver; j^ea,
even their servants bare rule over the
people: but* so did not I, because of
the fear' of Grod,
16 Yea, also, I continued in the work
of this wall, neither bought we any land :
and all my servants ^vere gathered thither
unto the work.
17 Moreover, there were at my table an
hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers,
beside those that came unto us from
among the heathen that are about us.
18 Now that which was prepared for
me daily was one ox and six choice sheep ;
also fowls were prepared for me, and
once in ten days store of all sorts of wine :
yet for all this requii'ed not I the breads
of the governor, because 3 the bondage
was heavy upon this people.
19 Tliink'" upon me, my God, for good,
according* to all that I have done for
this people.

JM OW it came to pass, when Sanballat,"
and Tobiah, and ^ G-eshem the Arabian,
and the rest of our enemies, heard that
I had builded the wall, and that there
was no breach left therein, (though at that
time I had not set up the doors upon the
gates,)
2 That Sanballat and Greshem" sent
unto me, saying. Come, let us meet to-
gether in some one of the villages in the
plain of Ono.*" But they* thought to do
me mischief.
3 And I sent_ messengers unto them,
saying, I am doing a great work, so that
I cannot come down: why should the
work cease, whilst I leave it, and come
down to you ?
4 Yet they sent unto me four times
after this sort; and« I answered them
after the same manner.
5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto
me in like manner, the fifth time, with
an open letter in his hand ;
6 Wherein was written. It is" reported
among the heathen, and 'jGrashmu saith
it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel :

phets to preach of thee at Jerusalem,
saying. There is a king in Judah: and
now shall it be reported to the king ac-
cording to these words. Come now there-
fore, and let us take counsel together.
8 Then I sent unto him, saying. There
are no such things done as thou sayest,
but thou feignest them out of thine own
heart.
9 For they all made us afraid, saying.
Their hands shall be weakened from the
work, that it be not done. Now therefore,
0 God,^ strengthen my hands.
10 Afterward I came unto the house of
Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of
Mehetabeel, who ^oas shut up; and he
sai(L Let us meet together in the house of
God, within the temple : and let us shut
the doors of the temple: for they will
come to slay thee ; yea, in the nights' will
they come to slay thee.
11 And I said. Should* such a man as
1 flee ? and who is there, that, leing as I
am, would go into the temple to save his
life ? I will not go in.
12 And lo, I perceived that God had
not sent him; but that he pronounced
this prophecy against me: for Tobiah
and Sanballat had hired him.
13 Therefore^ ivas he hired, that I
should be afraid, and do so, and sin,'*
and that they might have matter for an
evil report, that they might reproach me.
14 My God, think " thou upon Tobiah
and Sanballat according to these their
works, and on the prophetess Noadiah,
and the rest of the prophets, that would
have put me in fear.
15 So the wall was finished in the
twenty and fifth day of the month Elul,
in fifty and two days.
16 And it came to pass, that when all
our enemies heard thereof, and all the
heathen that tvere about us saw these
things, they were much cast down in their
own eyes: for* they perceived that this
work was wrought of our God.
17 Moreover, in those days, the nobles
of Judah 7 sent many letters unto Tobiah,
and the letters of Tobiah came tmto them.
18 ¥ov there ivere many in Judah sworn
unto him, because he tvas the son in law
of Shechaniah, the son of Arah ; and his
son Johanan had taken the daughter of
Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
19 Also they reported his good deeds
before me, and uttered my Swords to
him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me
in fear.

was built, and I had set up the^ doors,
and the porters, and the singers, and the
Levites were appointed,
2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and
Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge
over Jerusalem : for* he ivas a faithful
man, and feared* God above many :
3 And I said unto them. Let not the
gates of Jerusalem be opened until the
sun be hot ; and while they stand by, let
them shut the doors, and bar them: and
appoint watches of the inhabitants of Je-

. CHAPTER yill.
wA-ND» all the people gathered them-
selves together as one man into the street
that was before the water gate ; " and they
spake unto Ezra the scribe,^ to bring the
book of the law of Moses, which the Loed
had commanded to Israel.
2 And Ezra the priest brought the law
before the congregation'" both of men and
women, and all that ^ could hear with
understanding, upon* the first day of the
seventh month.
3 And he read therein before the street
that was before the water gate, from the
*> morning until midday, before the men
and the women, and those that could un-
derstand; and the ears of all the people
toere attentive imto the book of the law.
4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a
^pulpit of wood, which they had made
for the purpose ; and beside ViiTn stood
Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and
Urijah, and HLlkiah, and Maaseiah, on
his right hand; and on his left hand, Pe-
daiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and
Hashum, and Hashbadana» Zechariah,
and Meshullam.
5 And Ezra opened* the book in the
^ sight of aU the people ; (for he was above
all the people;) and when he opened it,
aU the people stood up.«
6 And Ezra blessed* the Lord, the great
God : and all the people answered, Amen,"
Amen, with lifting'^ up their hands: and
they bowed* their heads, and worsliipped
the Loed with their faces to the ground.
7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Shere-
biah, Jamin, Akkub. Shabbethai, Hodijah,
Maaseiah, Kehta, Azariah, Jozabad, Ha-
nan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused*'
the people to understand the law: and
the people stood in their place.
8 So they read in the book, in the law of
(xod, distinctly, and gave the sense, and
caused them to understand' the reading.

the Levites that taught the people, said
unto aU the people. This" day is holy
unto the Loed your Grod; mourn* not,
nor weep. For all the people wept, when
they heard <^ the words of the law.
10 Then he said unto them. Go your
way, eat« the fat, and drink the sweet,
and send/ portions unto them for whom
nothing is prepared: for this day is holy
unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for
the joys' of the Loed is your strength.
11 So the Levites stilled all the people,
saying. Hold your peace, for the day is
holy ; neither be ye grieved.
12 And aU the people went their way
to eat, and to drink, and to send portions,
and to make great mirth,' because^ thev
had understood* the words that were
declared unto them.
13 And on the second day were gathered
together the chief of the fathers of all the
people, the priests, and the Levites, unto
Ezra the scribe, even yto imderstand the
words of the law.
14 And they foxmd written in the law
which the Loed had commanded ^by
Moses, that the children of Israel should
dwell in booths^ in the feast of the seventh
month :
15 And that they should publish and
proclaim m all their cities, and in Jerusa-
lem, saying. Go forth imto the mount, and
fetch oHve branches, and pine branches,
and myrtle branches, and palm branches,
and branches of tliick trees, to make
booths, as it is written.
16 So the people went forth, and brought
tJiem, and made themselves booths, every
one upon the roof a of his house, and in
their courts, and in the courts of the
house of God, and in the street of the
water gate, and* in the street of the gate
of Ephraim.
17 And all the congregation of them
that were come again out of the capti-
vity made booths, and sat under the
booths: for since the days of Jeshua the
son of Nun, unto that day, had not the
children of Israel done so. And there
was very great" gladness.
18 Also" day by day, from the first day
unto the last day, he read in the book of
the law of God. And they kept the feast
seven days; and on the eighth day was
a "solemn assembly, according unto the
manner."'
-1^ CHAPTEE IX.
iM OW in the twenty and fourth day of
this month the children of Israel were
assembled with fasting, and with sack-
clothes, and earthy upon them.
2 And the seed of Israel separated
themselves" from aU m strangers, and
stood and confessed their sins, and the
iniquities of their fathers.
3 And they stood up in their place, and
read/ in the book of the law of the Loed
their God one fourth part of the day ; and
another fourth part they confessed, and
worshipped the Loed theu' God.
4 Then stood up upon the _" stairs, of
the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel,
Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and
Chenani, and cried* with a loud voice
unto the Loed their God.
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kad-
miel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Ho-
dijah, Shebardah, and Pethahiah, said.

6 Thou/ even thou, art Loed alone:
thou hast made« heaven, the heaven ot
heavens,/ with all their host, the earth,
and all things that are therem, the seas,
and all that is therein, and thou* pre-
sei-vest them all; and the host* of heaven
worshippeth thee. ., ^ -, , t
7 Thou art the Loed the Grod, who*
didst choose Abram, and broughtest him
forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gav-
est him the name^ of Abraham :
8 And foundest his heart faithful'' be-
fore thee, and madest a covenant* with
him, to give the land of the Canaanites, the
Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites,
and the Jebusites, and the Grirgashites, to
give it, I say, to his seed, and hast per-
formed? thy words ; for thou art righteous :
9 And didst see*" the affliction of our
fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry
by* the Eed sea :
10 And shewedst signs* and wonders
upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants,
and on all the people of his land; for
thou knewest that they dealt proudly"'
against them: so didst thou get thee a
name,^ as it is this day.
11 And" thou didst divide the sea be-
fore them, so that they went through the
midst of the sea on the dry land; and
their persecutors thou threwest into the
deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
12 Moreover, thou leddest them in the
day by a cloudy pillar,*' and in the night
by a pillar of fire, to give them light in
the way wherein they should go.
13 Thou camest down also upon mount
Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven,
and gavest them** right judgments and 'J true
laws, good statutes and commandments :
14 And madest known tmto them thy
holy sabbath, and commandedst them
precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand
of Moses thy servant :
15 And gavest them bread ^ from heaven
for their hunger, and broughtest forth
water/ for them out of the rock for their
thirst, and promisedst them that they
should go in to possess the land which
thou hadst ^ sworn to give them.
16 But they and our fathers dealt
Eroudly, and hardened s* their necks, and
earkened not to thy commandments,
17 And refused to obey, neither* were
mindful of thy wonders that thou didst
among them; but hardened their necks,
and in their rebellion appointed* a cap-
tain to return to their bondage : but thou
art a God '' ready to pardon, gracious and
merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and forsookest tnem not.
18 Yea, when* they had made them a
molten calf, and said. This is thy God
that brought thee up out of Egypt, and
had wrought great provocations ;
19 Yet thou, in thy manifold mercies, for-
sookest"* them not in the wilderness: the
pillar of the cloud departed not from them
by day, to lead them in the way ; neither
the piUar of fii-e by night, to shew them
light, and the way wherein they should go.
^ 20 Thou gavest also thy good" spirit to
instruct them, and withheldest not thy
manna from their mouth, and gavest
them water for their thirst.

them in the wilderness, so that they lack-
ed nothing; theu-'^ clothes waxed not old,
and their teet swelled not.
22 Moreover, thou gavest them king-
doms and nations, and didst divide them
into corners: so they possessed the land
of^ Sihon, and the land of the king of
Heshbon, and the land of Og, king of
Bashan.
23 Their children also multipliedst thou
as the stars of heaven, and broughtest
them into the land, concerniag v/hich
thou hadst promised to their fathers, that
they should go in to possess it.
24: So the children"' went in and possessed
the land, and" thou subduedst before them
the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,
and gavest them into their hands, with
their kings, and the people of the land, that
they might do with them ^ as they would.
25 And they took strong cities, and a
fat land, and possessed houses full of aU
goods, YweUs digged, vineyards, and
oliveyards, and ^ fruit trees in abim-
dance: so they did eat, and were filled,
and became fat,« and delighted them-
selves in thy great goodness.
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient,"
and rebelled against thee, and cast thy
law behind^ their backs, and slew* thy
prophets, which testified against them to
turn them to thee; and they wrought
great provocations.
27 Therefore* thou deliyeredst them
into the hand of their enemies, who vexed
them: and in the time of their trouble,
when they cried unto thee, thou heardest
them from heaven; and according to thy
manifold mercies thou gavest them sa-
viours, who saved them out of the hand
of their enemies.
28 But after they had rest, they ^did
evil again before thee: therefore leftest
thou them in the hand of their enemies,
so that they had the dominion over them :
yet when they returned, and cried unto
thee, thou heardest them from heaven;
and many times didst thou deliver them,
according to thy mercies ;
29 And testifiedst against them, that
thou mightest bring them again unto thy
law: yet they dealt proudly, and heark-
ened not unto thy commandments, but
sinned against thy judgments, (which, if
a man do, he shaE live in them,) and
« withdrew the shoulder, and hardened
their neck, and would not hear :
30 Yet many years didst thou ^forbear
them, and testifiedst* against them by thy
spirit /*in thy prophets; yet would they
not give ear: therefore gavest thou thein
into the hand of the people of the lands ;
31 Nevertheless, for thy great mercies'
sake, thou didst not utterly consume them,
nor forsake them ; for thou art a gracious
and merciful God.
32 Now therefore, our God, the great,
the mighty, and the terrible God, who
keepest covenant and mercy, let not aU
the ^trouble seem little before thee, that
hath Pcome upon us, on our kings, on
our princes, and on our priests, and on
our prophets, and on our fathers, and on
aU thy people, siuce the time" of the
kings of Assyiia unto this day.
33 Howbeit, thou art just* in all that
is brought upon us; for thou hast done

Vashti according to law, because she hath

hath not done wrong to the king only,
but also to all the princes, and to all the
people that are in all the provinces of
the king Ahasuerus.
17 For this deed of the queen shall

14 >S'o the posts that rode upon mules
and camels went out, being hastened and
pressed on by the king's commandment.
And the decree was given at Shushan the
palace.
15 And Mordecai went out from the
presence of the king in royal apparel of
pblue and wliite, and with a great crown
of gold, and with a garment of fine linen
and purple : and the city of Shushan re-
joiced and was glad.
16 The Jews had« light, and gladness,
and joy, and honour.
17 And in every province, and in every
city, whithersoever the king's command-
ment and his decree came, the Jews had
joy and gladness, a feast and a goods'
day. And many of the people of the land
became Jews; for the lear« of the Jews
fell upon them.
CHAPTER IX.
]N0W mi the twelfth mouth, that is
the month Adar, on the thirteenth day
of the same, when the king's command-
ment* and his decree drew near to be put
in execution, in the day that the enemies
of the Jews hoped to have power over
them, (though it was turned to the con-
trary, that the Jews had rule over them
that hated them,)
2 The Jews gathered themselves toge-
ther™ in their cities throughout all the
provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay
hand on such" as sought their hurt; and
no man could withstand them; for the^
fear of them fell upon all people.
3 And all the rulers of the provinces,
and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and
^ officers of the king, helped the Jews ;
because the fear of Mordecai fell upon
them.
4 For Mordecai was great »■ in the king's
house, and his fame went out throughout
all the provinces : for this man Mordecai
waxed greater* and greater.
5 Thus the Jews smote all their ene-
mies with the stroke of the sword, and
slaughter, and destruction, and did ''what
they would unto those that hated them.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews
slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and
Aspatha,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Ari-
datha,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and A.ri-
dai, and Vajezatha,
10 The ten sons'* of Haman the son of
Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews,
slew they, but* on the spoil laid they not
their hand.
11 On that da^ the number of those
that were slain in Shushan the palace
^was brought before the king.
12 And the king said unto Esther the
queen. The Jews have slain and destroy-
ed five hundred men in Shushan the
palace, and the ten sons of Haman;
what have they done in the rest of the
king's provinces? Now what is thy peti-
tion ? and it shall be granted tliee : or
what is thy request furtlier ? and it shall
be done.
13 Then said Esther, If it please the
king, let it be granted to the Jews which
are in Shushan to do to morrow also ac-
cording unto this day's decree, and >'let

14 And the king commanded it so to be
done; and the decree was given at Shu-
shan ; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
15 For'' the Jews that 2oere in Shushan
gathered themselves together on the four-
teenth day also of the month Adar, and
slew three hundred men at Shushan ; but/
on the prey they laid not their hand.
16 But the other Jews that loere in the
king's provinces gathered themselves to-
gether, and stood for their lives, and had
rest from their enemies, and slew of their
foes seventy and five thousand, but they
laid not their hands on the prey,
17 On the thirteenth day of the month
Adar ; and on the fourteenth day ^ of the
same rested thej^ and made it a day of
feasting and gladness.
18 But the Jews that toere at Shushan
assembled together on the thirteenth day
thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof;
and on the fifteenth day of the same they
rested, and made it a day of feasting and
gladness.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages,
that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made
the fourteenth day of the month Adar a
day of gladness' and feasting, and a good
day, and of sending* portions one to
another.
20 And Mordecai wrote these things,
and sent letters unto all the Jews that
ivere in aU the provinces of the king Aha-
suerus, both nigh and far,
21 To stablish this among them, that
they should keep the fourteenth day of
the month Adar, and the fifteenth day
of. the same, yearly,
22 As the days wherein the Jews rest-
ed from their enemies, and the month
which was turned"* unto thein from sor-
row to joy, and from mourning into a
good day ; that they should make them
days of feasting and joy, and of sendmg
portions one to another, and gifts to the
poor.
23 And the Jews imdertook to do as
they had begun, and as Mordecai had
written unto them ;
24 Because Hamau the son of Ham-
medatha the Agagite, the enemy of all
the Jews, had devised 5 against the Jews
to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that
is, the lot, to /* consume them, and to
destroy them: vshe.

king, he commanded* by letters, tliat his
wicked device, which he devised against
the Jews, should return*^ upon his own
head, and that he and his sons should be
hanged on the gaUows.
26 Wherefore they called these days
Purim, after the name of ^ Pur : there-
fore, for aU the words of this letter,^ and
of that which they had seen concerning
this matter, and which had come unto
them,
27 The Jews ordained, and took upon
them, and upon their seed, and upon all
such as joined «' themselves unto them,
so as it should not vfail, that they would
keep these two days according to their
wi'iting, and according to their appointed
time, every year ;
28 And that these days should he re-
membered and kept throughout every ge-
neration, every family, every province,
and every city ; and that these days of
Purim should not ^fail from among the
Jews, nor the memorial of them Tperisli
from their seed.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daugh-
ter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew,
wi'ote vrith all ^authority, to confirm
this second* letter of Purim.
30 And he sent the letters unto aU the
Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven
provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus,
loith words of peace and truth,
31 To confirm these days of Purim in
their times appointed, according as Mor-
decai the Jew and Esther the queen had
enjoined them, and as they had decreed
for « themselves, and for their seed, the
matters of the fastings' and their cry.
32 And the decree of Esther confirmed
these matters of Purim ; and it was writ-
ten in the book.
. CHAPTER X.
jtl-ND the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute"
upon the land, and upon the" isles of the
sea.
2 And aU the acts of his power, and
of his might, and the declaration of the
greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the
king ^advanced him, are they not vrrii-
ten in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Media and Persia ?
3 For Mordecai the Jew toas next^' un-
to king Ahasuerus, and great among the
Jews, and accepted'' of the multirude of
his brethren, seeking* the wealth of his
people, and speaking peace to all his
seed.
^The Book of JOB.
rp CHAPTER I.
-LHER.E was a man in the land of" Uz,
whose name loas Job ; * and that man was
perfect and upright, and one that*' feared
G-od, and eschewed evil.
2 And there were born unto him seven
sons and three daughters.
3 His /3 substance also was seven thou-
sand sheep, and three thousand camels,
and five hundred j^oke of oxen, and five
hundred she asses, and a very great
5 household ; so that this man was the
greatest of all the ^men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted in
their houses, every one his day ; and sent
and called for their three sisters, to eat
and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their
feasting were gone about, that Job sent
and sanctified them, and rose up early in
the morning, and ofiered burnt offerings
according to the number of them all : for
Job said. It may be that my sons have
sinned, and cursed''^ Grod in their hearts.
Thus did Job *« continually.
6 Now there was a day"* when the
sons of Grod came" to present themselves
before the Loed, and ^ Satan came also
A* among them.
7 And the Lord said unto Satan,
Whence comest thou? Then Satan an-
swered the Loed, and said. From going"
to and fro in the earth, and from walking
up and down in it.
8 And the Loed said unto Satan, Hast
thou "considered my servant Job, that
there is none Hke him in the earth, a
J)erfect and an upright man, one tnat
eareth Grod, and escheweth evil ?
9 Then Satan answered the Loed, and
said. Doth Job fear God for nought ?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge? about
him, and about his house, and about all
that he hath on every side? Thou hast
blessed the work of his hands, and his
9 substance is increased in the land :
11 But put forth thine hand now, and
touch* all that he hath, o-and he wiU*
curse thee to thy face.
12 And the IjORD said unto Satan, Be-
hold, all that he hath is in thy ^ power;
only upon himself put not forth thine
hand. So Satan went forth from the
presence of the Loed.
13 And there was a day" when his sons
and his daughters ivere eating and drink-
ing wine in their eldest brother's house :
14 And there came a messenger unto
Job, and said. The oxen were plowing,
and the asses feeding beside them ;
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and
took them away ; yea, they have slain the
servants with the edge of the sword; and
I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 While he ivas yet speaking, there
came also another, and said, xThe fire
of God is fallen from heaven, and hath
burned up the sheep, and the servants,
and consumed them ; and I only am
escaped alone to tell thee.
17 While he was yet speaking, there
came also another, and said. The Chal-
deans made out three bands, and "/'fell

upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked/ came I out of

-A. GAIN' there was a day when the sons
of God came to present themselves before
the Loed, and Satan came also among
them to present himself before the Loed.
2 And the Loed said imto Satan, From
whence comest thou? And Satan an-
swered the Loed, and said, From going
to and fro in the earth, and from walking
up and down in it.
3 And the Loed said unto Satan, Hast
thou considered my servant Job, that
there is none like him in the earth, a
perfect and an upright mau, one that
feareth God, and escheweth evil? and
still he holdeth fast his integrity,P al-
though thou movedst me against him, to
^ destroy him without cause.
4 And Satan answered the Loed, and
said. Skin for skin ; y^ea, all that a man
hath will he give*" for his life.
5 But put forth thine hand now, and
touch his bone and his flesh, and he wiU
curse thee to thy face.
6 And the Loed said unto Satan, Be-
hold, he is in thine hand ; ■^ but save his
life.
7 So went Satan forth from the presence
of the Loed, and smote Job vrith sore boHs,
from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape
himself withal ; and he sat down among
the ashes."
9 Then said his wife unto him. Dost
thou still retain thine integrity? curse
God, and die.
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest
as one of the foolish women speaketh.
What! shall«' we receive good at the hand
of God, and shall we not receive evil?
In all this did not Job sin* with his lips.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard
of aU tliis evil that was come upon him,
they came every one from his own place;
Ehphaz the Temanite,^ and Bildad the
Shuhite,« and Zophar the Naamathite:
for they had made an appointment toge-
ther to come" to mourn with him, and
to comfort him.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes
afar oif, and knew him not, they lifted up
their voice and wept ; and they rent every
JoVs comi)laint of life.
one his mantle, and sprinkled dust" upon
their heads toward heaven.
13 So they sat doww" with lurn upon the
ground seven ^ days and seven nights,
and none spake a word unto him: for
they saw that Ids grief was very great.
. CHAPTER III.
_A-FTEE this opened Job his mouth, and
cursed his day.
2 And Job Y spake, and said,
3 Let* the day perish wherein I was
born, and the night in tvJdcli it was said,
There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness ; let not
God regard it from above, neither let the
light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death
^ stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; 'J let
the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize
upon it; let it not be ^joined unto the
days of the year ; let it not come into the
number of the months.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary; let no
joj'faL voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day,
who'^ are ready to raise up ^ their mourn-
9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be
dark ; let it look for light, but have none ;
neither let it see the '^ dawning of the day ;
10 Because it shut not up the doors of
my mother^ s womb, nor hid sorrow from
mine eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb?
x6hy did I not give up the ghost when I
came out of the beUy ?
12 Why did the knees' prevent me? or
why the breasts that I shoiild suck ?
13 For now should I have lain still and
been quiet, I should have slept : then
had I been at rest,
14 With kings and counsellors of the
earth, which built desolate' places for
themselves ;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who
filled their houses with silver :
16 Or as an hidden untimely birth <» I
had not been; as infants xvhicli never
saw Hght.
17 There the wicked cease from trou-
bling ; and there the ^ weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together;
they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and
the servant is free from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is
in misery, and hfe unto the bitter in soul ;
21 Which Hong 9 for death, but it
cometh not; and dag for it more than for
hid treasures ;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are
glad when they can find the grave ?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way
is hid^nd whom Grod hath hedged'" in ?
24 For my sighing cometh before vl
eat, and my roarings are poured out like
the waters.
25 For 'Jthe thing which I greatly
feared is come upon me, and that which
I was afraid of is come unto me.
26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest,
neither was I quiet ; yet trouble came.

3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and
thou hast strengthened* the weak hands.
4 Thy words have upholden him that
was falling ; and thou hast strengthened
the P feeble knees.
5 But now it is come upon thee, and
thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou
art troubled.
6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy
hope, and the uprightness of thy ways ?
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever
perished, being innocent? or where Avere
the righteous cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they/ that plow ini-
quity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and
by 5 the breath of his nostrils are they
consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the
voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth"
of the young Hons, are broken.
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of
prey, and the stout lion's whelps are
scattered abroad.
12 Now a thing was ^ secretly brought to
me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
13 In thoughts fi'om the visions of the
night^hen deep sleep falleth on men,
14 Fear M came upon me, and trembling,
which made " all my bones to shake.
15 Then a spii-it passed before my face;
the hair of my flesh stood up :
16 It stood still, but I could not discern
the form thereof: an image was before
mine eyes ; P there was silence, and I
heard a voice, saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than
God? shall a man be more pure than his
Maker ?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants ;
and o"liis angels^" he charged with folly :
19 How much less in them that dwell in
houses of clay, whose foundation is in the
dust, tohich are crushed before the moth ?
20 They are "^destroyed from morning
to evening : they perish for ever, without
any regarding it.
21 Doth'" not their excellency tohich is
in them go away? they die,'' even with-
out wisdom.
r^ CHAPTER V.
KjAIAj now, if there be any that wiU

wilt thou X turn ?
2 For wrath kiUeth the foolish man,
and "A envy slayeth the silly one.
3 iP have seen the fooHsh taking root:
but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and
they are crushed in the gate, neither is
there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up,
and taketh it even out of the thorns, and
the robber swaUoweth up their substance.
6 Although ^ afiliction cometh not
forth of the dust, neither doth trouble
spring out of the ground ;
7 Yet* man is born imto ^ trouble, as
the f sparks fly upward.
8 I would seek unto God, and unto
God would I commit my cause :
9 Which doeth great things and ^unsearch-
able ; marvellous things " without number :
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and
sendeth waters upon the ^ fields :

that those which mourn may be exalted
to safety.

crafty, so that their hands cannot per-
form P their enterprise.
13 He" taketh the mse in their own
craftiness; and the counsel of the fi*o-
ward is carried headlong.
14 They y meet with darkiiess in the day-
time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15 But« he saveth the poor from the
sword, from their mouth, and from the
hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity
stoppeth her mouth.
17 Behold, happy'' is the man whom
G-od correcteth; therefore despise not
thou the chastening of the Almighty :
18 Eor/ he maketh sore, and buideth up ;
he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 Hei' shall deliver thee in six troubles ;
yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine'^ he shall redeem thee
from death; and in war from the ^ power
of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid M from the scourge
of the tongue;' neither shalt thou be
afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou
shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid
of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the
stones of the field; and the beasts* of
the field shall be at peace -with thee.
24 And thou shalt know *'that thy ta-
bernacle shall be in peace ; and thou shalt
visit thy habitation, and shalt not P sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed
shall be i^ great, and thine offspring as
the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to th?/ grave in a
fidl age,' like as a shock of corn X cometh
in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched'" it, so it is;
hear it, and know thou it for P thy good.

J5UT Job answered and said,
2 Oh that my grief were throughly
weighed, and my calamity ^laid in the
balances together !
3 For now it would be heavier than the
sand" of the sea: therefore 'J my words
are swallowed up.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are
within me, the poison whereof drinketh
up my spirit: the terrors'' of God do
set themselves in array against me.
5 Doth the wild ass bray « when he hath
grass ? or loweth the ox over his fodder ?
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten
without salt ? or is there any taste in the
white of an egg ?
7 The things that my soul refused to
touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8 Oh that I might have my request;
and that God woxdd grant me "the thing
that I long for !
9 Even that* it would please God to
destroy me; that he would let loose his
hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort;
yea, I woidd harden myself in sorrow:
let him not spare; for'' I have not con-
cealed the words of the Holy*" One.
11 What is my strength, that I should
hope? and what is mine end, that I

15 My brethren* have dealt deceitfully
as a brook, and as the stream of brooks
they pass away ;
16 Which are blackish by reason of
the ice, and wherein the snow is hid :
17 What time they wax warm, they
^ vanish : i when it is hot, they are ^ con-
sumed out of their place.
18 The paths of their way are turned
aside ; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema« looked, the
companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 They were confounded because they
had hoped; they came thither, and were
ashamed.
21 For now ^ye are « nothing; ye see
my casting down, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give
a reward for me of your substance ?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand?
or. Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my
tongue ; and cause me to understand
wherein I have erred.
25 How forcible.' are right words! but
what doth your arguing reprove ?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words,
and the speeches of one that is despe-
rate, xvihieh are as wind ?
27 Yea, ye '''overwhelm the fatherless,
and ye dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now, therefore, be content ; look up-
on me : for it is o" evident unto you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, _ let it not be
iniquity; yea, return again, my righte-
ousness is in ^ it._

±8 there not Van appointed" time to man
upon earth? are not his days also like
the days of an hireling ?
2 As a servant ^earnestly desireth the
shadow, and as an hireling looketh for
the reivard of his work ;
3 So am I made to possess months of
vanity, and wearisome nights^ are ap-
pointed to me.
4 When« I lie down, I say. When shall
I arise, and the ^ night be §one? and I
am full of tossings to and fro unto the
dawning of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and
clods of dust; my skin is broken, and
become loathsome.
6 ]\Iy days are swifter than a weaver's
shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 O remember that my life is wind:

8 The eye of him that hath seen me
shall see me no more: thine eyes are
upon me, and "" I am not.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanish-
eth away; so he that goeth down to the
grave shall come up no more.
10 He" shall return no more to his house,
neither shall his place know him any more.
11 Therefore I wiU not refrain my
mouth; I will speak in the anguish of
my spirit; I will complain in the bitter-
ness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou
settest a watch over me ?

4 i/e" is wise in heart, and mighty m
strength : who liath hardened himself
against him, and hath prospered ?
5 Which removeth the mountains, and
thej^ know not; which overturneth them
in his anger ;
6 Which*' shaketh the earth out of her
place, and the pillars thereof tremble ;
7 Which commandeth the sun,* and it
riseth not, and sealeth up the stars ;
8 Which alone spreadeth out the-^ hea-
vens, and treadeth'' upon the 7 waves of
the sea ;_
9 Which* maketh ^ Arcturus, Orion, and
Pleiades, and the chambers of the south ;
10 Which doeth great things past fiuduig
out ; yea, and wonders without number.
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not:
he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away, who can
^hinder him? who" will say unto him,
What doest thou?
13 If God will not withdraw his anger,
the 'J proud helpers do stoop under him.
14 How much less shall I answer liim, and
choose out my words to reason with him ?
15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet
would I not answer, hutP I would make
supplication to my Judge.
16 If I had called, and he had answer-
ed me, yet would I not believe that he
had hearkened unto my voice.
17 For he breaketh me with a tempest,
and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18 He will not suffer nie to take my
breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19 If I speaJc of strength, lo, he is
strong: and if of judgment, who shall
set me a time to plead 1
20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth
shall condemn me: if I say, I am per-
fect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not
know my soul : I would despise my life.
22 This is one thing, therefore I said it.
He* destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he
will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of
the wicked: he covereth the faces of the
judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25 Now my days are swifter than a
post : they flee away, they see no good.
26 They are passed away as the /* swift
lips : as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27 If I say, I will forget my complaint,
I wlU leave off my heaviness, and com-
fort myself;
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know
that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29 i/" I be wicked, why then labour I in
vain?
30 If* I wash myself with snow water,
and make my hands never so clean ;
31 Yet shalt thou plunge me ia the ditch,
and mine own clothes shall ^ abhor me.
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that
I should answer him, and we should
come together in judgment.
33 Neither is there Pany <^ daysman
betwixt* us, that might lay his hand
upon us both.
34 Let him take*^ his rod away from
me, and let not his fear terrify me ;

3 Is it good unto thee that thou should-

4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or^' seest

5 Are thy days as the days of man ? are

8 Thine hands "hare made me, and
fashioned me together round about; yet
thou dost destroy me.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou
hast made me as the clay ; '' and wilt thou
bring me into dust again ?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as
milk, and curdled me like cheese ?
11 Thou*" hast clothed me with skin
and flesh, and hast /^fenced me with
bones and sinews.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour,
and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 And these things hast thou hid in
thine heart : I know that this is with thee.

thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniqiiity.

if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my

Job's reply.
God? canst thou find out the Almighty
unto perfection ?
8 It is ^as high as heaven; what canst
thou do? deeper than hell; what canst
thou know ?
9 The measure thereof is longer than
the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If "^ he ^ cut off, and shut up, or gather
together, then who can f hinder him ?
11 For* he knoweth vain men : he seeth
wickedness also: wiU he not then con-
sider it ?
12 For 'Jvain man would be wise,
though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
13 If thou prepare'* thine heart, and
stretch out thine hands toward him ;
14 If iniquity he in thine hand, put it
far away, and let not wickedness dweU
in-' thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou Hft up thy face
without spot ; yea, thou shalt be sted-
fast, and shalt not fear :
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery,
and remember it as waters that pass away :
17 And thine age shaU ^ be clearer than
the noonday; thou shalt shine' forth,
thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because
there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about
thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none
shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall
V make suit unto thee.
20 But the eyes" of the wicked shall fail,
and '^ they shall not escape, and their" hope
shall be as P the giving up of the ghost.
i CHAPTER XII.
_Z\.ND Job answered and said,
2 No doubt but ye are the people, and
msdom shall die with you.
3 But I have o- understanding as well
as you ; I '^am not inferior to you : yea,
X who knoweth not such things as these ?
4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour,
who calleth upon God, and he answereth
him : the just upright man is laughed to
scorn.
5 He that is ready to slip with his feet
is as a lamp despised in the thought of
him that is at ease.
6 The tabernacles of robbers* prosper,
and they that provoke God are seciire ; in-
to whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
7 But ask now the beasts, and they
shall teach thee ; and the fowls of the air,
and they shall tell thee :
8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall
teach thee ; and the fishes of the sea shall
declare unto thee.
9 Who knoweth not in all these, that
the hand of the Loed hath wrought this ?
10 In whose hand is the ^ soul of every liv-
ing thing, and the breath of aU ^ mankind.
11 Doth not the ear try words ? and the
y mouth taste his meat ?
12 With the ancient* is wisdom; and
in length of days understanding.
13 With 'Jhim is wisdom and strength,
he hath counsel^ and understanding.
14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it
cannot be built again; he shutteth ^up
a man, and there can be no opening.
15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters,
and they dry up; also he sendeth them
out, and they overturn the earth.
16 With him is strength and wisdom:
the deceived" and the deceiver are his.
17 He leadeth counsellors away spoHed,
and maketh the judges" fools.

Of man's frailty and mortality.
18 He loosetli the boud of kings, and
girdeth their loins with a girdle.
19 He« leadeth princes away spoiled,
and overthroweth the mighty.
20 He removeth*' away the Y speech of
the trusty, and taketh away the under-
standing of the aged.
21 He« poiireth contempt upon princes,
and ^weakeneth the strength of the
mighty.
22 He discovereth/ deep things out of

23 He iucreaseth* the nations, and de-
stroyeth them; he enlargeth the nations,
and ^ straiteneth them again.
24 He taketh away the heart' of the

causeth them to wander in a wilderness
where there is no way.

JuO, mine eye hath seen all this^ mine

2 What ye know, the same do I know
also ; I am not inferior unto you.

4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all

5 O that ye would altogether hold your

7 WiU ye speak wickedly for Grod?
and talk deceitfully* for him ?
8 Will'" ye accept his person? wUl ye

9 Is it good that he should search you
out? or as one man mocketh another, do
ye so mock* him ?
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye

11 Shall not his excellency make you

12 Your reraembrances are Uke unto

5 For thy mouth ^uttereth thine iniquity,
and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6 Thine" own mouth condemneth thee,
and not I; yea, thine own lips testify
against thee.
7 Art thou the first man thatyi2,% born?
or wast thou made before'' the hills ?
8 Hasf* thou heard the secret of God?
and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9 What/ kno west thou, that we know not?
what understandest thou, which is not in us ?
10 With us are both the grayheaded^' and
very aged men, much elder than thy father.
11 Are the consolations of God small with
thee ? is there any secret thing with thee ?
12 Why doth thine heart carry thee
away ? and what do thy eyes winlc at,
13 That thou turnest thy spirit against
God,' and lettest such words go out of
thy mouth ?
14 What' is man, that he should be
clean ? and he which is born of a woman,
that he should be righteous ?
15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his
saints ; yea, the heavens" are not clean
in his sight:
16 How much more abominable and
filthy is man, which drinketh*" iniquity
like water ?
17 I win shew thee, hear me; and that
which I have seen I will declare ;
18 Which wise men have told from
their fathers, and have not hid it :
19 Unto whom" alone the earth was giv-
en, and no stranger" passed among them.
20 The wicked man travaileth"' with
pain aU his days, and the number ^ of
years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 ^ A dreadful sound is'' in his ears:
in prosperity* the destroyer shall come
upon him.
22 He believeth not that he shall re-
turn out of darkness, and he is waited
for of the sword.
23 He wandereth abroad for bread, say-
ing. Where is it? he knoweth that the
day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him
afraid; they shall prevail against him, as
a king ready to the battle.
25 For/ he stretcheth out his hand a-
gainst God, and strengtheneth himself
against*' the Almighty.
26 He runneth upon him. even on Jus
neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers ;
27 Because • he covereth his face with
his fatness, and maketh collops of fat
on his flanks.
28 And he dweUeth in desolate cities,
and in houses which no man inhabiteth,
which are ready to become heaps.
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his
substance continue, neither shall he pro-
long the perfection thereof upon the earth.
30 He shall not depart out of darkness :
the flame shall dry up his branches, and by
the breath of his mouth shall he go away._
31 Let not him that is deceived trust"* in
vanity; for vanity shall be his recompence.
32 It shall be »■ accomplished before" his
time, and his branch shall not be green.
33 He shall shake off his unripe grape
as the vine, and shall cast off his flower
as the olive.
34 For the congregation of' hypocrites
shall be desolate, and fire shall consume
the tabernacles of*" bribery.
35 They'conceive mischief, and bring forth
X vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

JLHEN Job answered and said,
2 1 have heard many such things:
y miserable* comforters are ye all.
3 Shall 5 vain words have an end ? or what
emboldeneth thee that thou answerest ?
4 I also coidd speak as ye do: if your
soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap
up words against you, and shake « mine
head at you.
5 But I would strengthen you with
my mouth,* and the moving of my lips
should asswage your grief.
6 Though I speak, my grief is not as-
swaged ; and though I forbear, what ^am
I eased ?
7 But now he hath made me weary:
thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 And thou hast filled me with^ wrin-
kles, which is a witness against me; and
my leanness rising up in me beareth
witness to my face.
9 He teareth'" me in his wrath, who hateth
me : he gnasheth upon me with his teeth ;
mine enemy" sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10 They have gaped upon me with their
mouth; they have smitten ^ me upon the
cheek reproachfully; they have* gather-
ed themselves together against me.
11 God* hath '^deUvered me to the
ungodly, and turned me over into the
hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but he hath broken
me asunder: he hath also taken me by
my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and
set me* up for his mark.
13 His archers compass _ me round
about ; he cleaveth my reins asunder,
and doth not spare ; he poureth out my
gall upon the grouna.
14 He breaketh me with breach upon
breach ; * he runneth upon me hke a giant.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my
skin, and defiled my horn in the" dust.
16 My face is foul with weeping, and
on my eyelids is the shadow of death ;
17 Not** for any injustice in mine
hands : also my prayer* is pure.
18 O earth, cover not thou my blood,
and let my cry have no place.
19 Also now, behold, my witness is in
heaven, and my record is " on high.
20 My friends ^ scorn me; but mine
eye poureth out tears unto God.
21 O* that one might plead for a
man with God, as a man pleadeth for his
M neighbour !
22 When v a few years are come, then I
shall go* the way whence I shall not return.

XHEN answered Bildad the Shuhite,
and said,
2 How long loill it he ere ye make an end
of words ? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts
and reputed vde in your sight ?
4 He'^ teareth ^himself in his anger;
shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and
shall the rock be removed out of his place ?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall* be put
out, and the spark of his fii-e shall not shine.
6 The hght shall be dark in his tabernacle,
and his " candle shall be put out with him.
7 The steps of his strength shall be
straitened, and his own' counsel shall
cast him down.
8 For he is cast into a net"» by his own
feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9 The gin shall take him by the heel,
and the robber shaU. prevail against liim.
10 The snare is T^laid for him in the
ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Terrors" shall make him afraid on
every side, and shall P drive him to liis feet.
12 His strength shall be hungerbitten,
and destruction shall he ready at his side.
13 It shall devour the o" strength of his
skin : even the firstborn of death shall
devour his strength.
14 His confidence 9' shall be rooted out
of his tabernacle; and it shall bring him
to the king of terrors.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle,
because it is none pf his : brimstone shall
be scattered upon his habitation.
16 His roots'" shall be dried up beneath,
and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance* shall perish from
the earth, and he shall have no name in
the street.
18 He '/'shaE be driven from light into
darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 He shall neither'" have son nor
nephew among his people, nor any re-
maining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be
astonied at his day,* as they that ^went
before "n were affrighted.

6 Know now that Grod hath overthrown

7 Behold, I cry out of 7 wrong, but I
am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is
no judgment.
8 He hath fenced up my way that I
cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in
my paths.
9 He hath stripped me of my glory,
and taken the crowafrom my head.
10 He * hath destroyed me on every
side, and I am gone : and mine hope
hath he removed like a tree.
11 He hath also kindled his wrath
against me, and he counteth me unto
him as owe of his enemies.
12 His troops come together, and raise
up their way agaiast me, and encamp
round about my tabernacle.
13 He hath put my brethren far from
me, and mine acquaintance are verily
estranged from me.
14 My' kinsfolk have failed, and my
familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in mine house, and
my maids, count me for a stranger : I
am an alien in their sight.
16 I called my servant, and he gave me no
answer : I entreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife,
though I entreated for the children's
saJce of ^ mine own body.
18 Yea, i^ young chilcljfen despised me ;
I arose, and they spake against me.
19 AH »'my inward friends abhorredme : and
they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My'' bone cleaveth to my skin and
to my flesh, and I am escaped with the
skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon
me, O ye my friends ; for the hand of
Grod hath touched me.
22 Why do ye persecute p me as Grod,
and are not satisfied with my flesh ?
23 Oh '^that my words were now writ-
ten ! oh that they were printed in a book !
24 That they were graven with an iron
pen and lead in the rock for ever !
25 For I know that my Redeemer
liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth:
26 And ^though., after my skin, tvorms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh* shall
I see" God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and
mine eyes shall behold, and not X another ;
though ^my reins be consumed V within me.
28 But ye should say, Wliy persecute
we him? 5 seeing the root of the matter
is found in me.
29 Be ye afraid of the sword : for wrath
hringeth the punishments of the sword,
thaty ye may know there is a judgment.

for a" moment ?
6 Though* his excellency mount up to
the heavens, and his head reach imto the
y clouds ;
7 Yet he shall perish for ever, like* his
ovm dung: they wliich have seen him
shall say, Wliere is he ?
8 He shaR fly away as a dream, « and
shaU not be found : yea, he shall be chased
away as a vision oi the night.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see
him no more ; neither shall liis place any
more behold him.
10 i?His children sTiaU seek to please
the poor, and his hands shall restore
their/ goods.
11 His bones are full of the sin 9 of his
youth, which shall lie down with him in
the dust.
12 Though wickedness be sweet* in his
mouth, though he hide it imder his tongue ;
13 Though he spare it, and forsake it
not, but keep it still '' within his mouth ;
14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned,
it is the gall of asps within him.
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and
he shall vomit them up again : God shall
cast them out of his belly.
16 Ho shall suck the poison** of asps :
the viper's tongue shall slay him.
17 He shall not see the rivers, the
"■ floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18 That which he laboured for shaU he
restore, and shall not swallow it down:
accordijig to P his substance shall the resti-
tution le, and he shall not rejoice therein.
19 Because he hath o" oppressed and hath
forsaken the poor ; because he hath violently
taken away an house wliich he bmlded not ;
20 Surely he shall not ^feel quietness
in his belly, he shall not save of that
which he desired.
21 There shall X none of his meat be 3 left ;
therefore shall no man look for liis goods.
22 In the fulness of his sufiiciency he
shall be in straits : every hand of the
^ wicked shall come upon liim.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God
shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and
shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and
the bow of steel shall strike him through.
25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the
body; yea, the glittering sword cometh
out of his gall : terrors* are upon him.
26 All darkness shall he hid in his secret
places J a fire* not blown shall consume
him; it shall go iU with him that is left
in his tabernacle.
27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity;
and the earth shall rise up against him.
28 The increase of his house shall de-
part, and his goods shall flow away in the
day of his wrath.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man
from God, and the heritage ^appointed
unto him by God.
-r> CHAPTER XXI.
JtSUT Job answered and said,
2 Hear diligently _ my speech, and let
this be your consolations.
3 Suffer me that I may speak ; and after
that I have spoken, mock on.
4 As for me, is my complaint to man ?
and Hit loere so^ why should not my spu'it
be ^* troubled?
5 ''Mark me, and be astonished, and
lay* your hand upon your mouth.
B. C. 1520.
JOB, XXII. The i}rosperity of the ioicJced.
6 Even when I remember, I am afraid,
and trembHng taketh hold on my flesh.
7 Wherefore*' do the wicked live, be-
come old, yea, are mighty in power ?
8 Their seed is estabhshed in their sight
with them, and their ofispring before
their eyes.
9 Their houses are ^safe fi'om fear,
neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 Their buU gendereth, and faileth not ;
their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
11 They send forth their Httle ones like
a flock, and their children dance.
12 They take the timbrel and harp, and
rejoice at the sound of the organ.
13 They spend their days in ^ wealth, and
in a moment go down to the grave.
14 Therefore* they say unto God, De-
part from us ; for we desire not the know-
ledge of thy ways.
15 What* is the Almighty, that we
shoidd serve him ? and what profit ' should
we have, if we pray unto him ?
16 Lo, their good is not in then* hand :
the counsel"* of the wicked is far from me.
17 How oft is the ^ candle of the wicked
put out ? and how oft cometh their destruc-
tion upon them ? God distributeth sorrows
in his anger.
18 They are as stubble before the wmd,
and as chafi" that the storm f* carrieth away.
19 God layeth up "his iniquity for his
children :° he rewardeth him, and he shall
know it.
20 His eyes shall see liis destruction, and he
shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what pleasure hath he in his
house after him, when the number of his
months is cut on in the midst ?
22 ShallP any teach God knowledge?
seeing he judgeth those that are high.
23 One dieth in his fuU strength, being
wholly at ease and quiet :
24 His '/'breasts are full of mUk, and
his bones are moistened with marrow.
25 And another dieth in the bitterness of
his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
26 They shall lie down alike in the dust,
and the worms shall cover them.
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and
the devices which ye wTongfully imagine
against me.
28 For ye say, Where is the house of
the prince ? and where are y the dwelling
places of the wicked ?
29 Have ye not asked them that go by
the way ? and do ye not know their tokens,
30 That the wicked is reserved to the
day of destruction ? they shall be brought
forth to the day of ^ wi'atli.
31 Who shall declare his way to his face ?
and who shall repay him tohat he hath done ?
32 Yet shall he be brought to the f grave,
and shall V remain in the tomb.
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet
unto him, and every" man shall draw after
him, as there are innumerable before him.
34 How then comfort ye me in" vain,
seeing in. your answers there remaineth
K falsehood ?

neither is it found in the land of the living.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal

20 Whence"* then cometh wisdom? and
where is the place of understanding ?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of aU liv-
ing, and kept close from the fowls of the '^aii'.
22 Destruction and death say, We have
heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 G-od" understandeth the way there-
of, and he knoweth the place thereof
24 For he" looketh to the ends of the
earth, and seeth under the whole heaven :
25 To make^ the weight for the winds;
and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26 AVhen he made a decree for the rain,
and a way for the lightning of the thimder ;
27 Then did he see it, and •/> declare it;
he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the
fear 3 of the Lord, that is wisdom:'' and
to depart from evil is understanding.
n. -- CHAPTER XXIX.
MOEEOYER, Job '/'continued his
parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as
in the days tohen God preserved me ;
3 When his y candle shined upon my
head, and when by his light I* walked
through darkness ;
4 As I was in the days of my youth,
when the secret"" of Grod wa-s upon my
tabernacle ;
5 "When the Almighty xcas yet with me,
ivhen my children toere about me ;
6 AVheny I washed my steps with butter,
and the rock poured f me out rivers of oil ;
7 When I went out to the gate through
the city, when I prepared my seat in the
street !
8 The young men saw me, and hid them-
selves; and the aged arose, and stood up.
. .9 The prmces refrained talking, and
laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The -n nobles held their peace, and their
tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard msy then it
blessed* me; and when the eye saw me,
it gave witness to me :
12 Because I delivered* the poor that
cned, and the fatherless, and Mm that
had none to help him.
13 The blessmg of him that was readv
to perish came upon me : and I caused
tne widow s heart to sing for joy

14 I" put on righteousness, and it
clothed me : my judgment zuas as a robe
and a diadem.
15 I was eyes'' to the blind, and feet
teas 1 to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor : and* the
cause iohich I knew not I searched out.
17 And I brake the ^jaws of the wick-
ed, and ^plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 Then* I said, I shall die in my nest,
and I shall multiply m?/ days as the sand.
19 My root tvas 'i spread out by the
waters, and the dew lay all night upon
my branch.
20 My glory was "fresh in me, and
my' bow was -^renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gave ear. and waited,
and kept silence at my counsel.
22 Alter my words they spake not again j
and my speech dropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the
rain; and they opened their mouth wide
as for the latter rain.
2i If 1 laughed on them, they believed
it not ; and the light of my countenance
they cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief,
and dwelt as a king in the army, as one
that comforteth the mourners.
-p CHAPTER XXX.
XSUT now they that are P younger than
I have me in derision, whose fathers I
would have disdained to have set with
the dogs of my flock.
2 Yea, whereto might the strength of
their hands profit me, in whom old age
was perished ?
3 For want and famine they were «• so-
litary; fleeing into the w£aerness "^in
former time desolate and waste ;
4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes,
and juniper roots /or their meat.
5 They were driven forth from among
men, (they cried after them as after a thief,)
6 To dwell in the cHfis of the valleys,
in X caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they brayed ; under
the nettles they were gathered together.
8 They toere children of fools, yea,
children* of ^base men; they were viler
than the earth.
9 And now" am I their song; yea, I
am their " byrvord.
10 They abhor me, they flee far from
me, and ^ spare not to spit* in my face.
11 Because he hath loosed my cord,
and afflicted me, they have also let loose
the bridle before me.
12 Upon my right hand rise the youth ;
they push away my feet, and they raise up
against me the ways of their destruction.
13 They mar mv path, they set forward
my calamity, they have no helper.
14 They came upon me as a wide break-
ing in of toaters: in the desolation they
rolled themselves upon me.
15 Terrors are turned upon me: they
pursue my ^soid as the -ndnd; and my
welfare passeth away as a cloud.
16 And now my soul is poured out
upon" me: the days of affliction have
taken hold upon me.
17 My bones are pierced in me in the
night^eason ; and my sinews take no rest.
18 By the great force of my disease is
my garment changed; it bindeth me
about as the collar of my coat.
19 He hath cast" me into the mire, and
I am become like dust and ashes.
He protests his integriti/.
20 I cry unto thee, and tliou dost not hear
me : I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
21 Thou art ^ become cruel to me :
with 7 thy strong hand thou opposest
thyself against me.
22 Thou liftest me up to the wind ;
thou causest me to ride xipon it., and
dissolvest my ^substance.
23 For I know that thou wilt bring me
to death, and to the house appointed '^ for
all living.
24 Howbeit he will not stretch out Ms
hand to the ^ grave, though they cry in
his destruction.
25 Did not I weep for him that was « in
trouble ? was not my soul grieved for the
poor?
26 When/ I looked for good, then evil
came unto me; and when I waited for
hght, there came darkness.
27 My bowels boiled, and rested not;
the days of affliction prevented me.
28 I went mourning without the sun : I
stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
29 I am a brother to dragons, and a
companion to '^ owls.
30 My skin* is black upon me, and
my bones are burned with heat.
31 My harp also is turned to mourning, and
my organ into the voice of them that weep.
-|- CHAPTER XXXI.
X MADE a covenant with mine eyes ; '
why then should I think"* upon a maid ?
2 Eor what portion of Grod is there
from above ? and ^ohat inheritance of the
Almighty from on high ?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked?
and a strange punishment to the workers
of iniquity ?
4 Doth^ not he see my ways, and count
all my steps ?
5 \ii I have walked with vanity, or if
my foot hath hasted to deceit ;
6 Let Xme be weighed in an even ba-
lance, that Grod may know mine integrity.
7 If my step hath turned out of the way,
and mine heart '" walked after mine eyes,
and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands ;
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat ;
yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9 If mine heart have been deceived by
a woman; or if I have laid wait at my
neighbour's door ;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another,
and let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it
is* an iniquity to he punished hij the judges.
12 For itis a fire that cousumeihto destruc-
tion," and would root out all mine increase.
13 If I did despise the cause of my
manservant, or of my maidservant,
when they contended with me ;
^ 14 What then shall I do when God
riseth up? and, when he visiteth, what
shall I answer him ?
15 Did" not he that made me in the
womb make liim ? and ^ did not one
fashion us in the womb ?
16 If I have withheld the poor from
their desire, or have caused the eyes of
the widow to fail ;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone,
and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18 (For from my youth he was broiight
up with me, as ^vith a father, and I have

work^hich men behold,
25 Every man may see it ; man may
behold it afar off.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know
Mm not; neither* can the number of his
j^ears be searched out.
27 For he maketh small the drops of
water: they pour down rain"* according
to the vapour thereof,
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil
upon man abimdantly.
29 Also can an?/ understand the spreadings
of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth^ his light upon
it, and covereth the ^ bottom of the sea.
31 For by them^ judgeth he the people ;
he*" giveth meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covereth the light ;
and commandeth it not to sTiine^ by tJie
cloud that Cometh betwixt.
33 The noise* thereof sheweth concerning
it, the cattle also concerning « the vapour.
. CHAPTER XXXVII.
J\.T this also my heart trembleth," and
is moved out of his place,
2 ^ Hear attentively the noise of his voice,
and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He directeth it under the whole hea-
ven, and lus /* lightning unto the "ends
of the earth.
4 After it a voice" roareth : he thundereth »
with the voice of his excellency ; and he
will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 Grod thundereth marvellously with
his voice ; great things doeth he,* which
we cannot comprehend.
6 For he saith to the snow. Be thou on
the earth; o" likewise to^ the small rain,
and to the great rain of his strength.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man,
that* all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts go" into dens, and
remain in their places.
9 Out of the 9 south cometh the whirl-
wind ; and cold out of the X north.
10 By the breath of Grod frost" is given ;
and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick
cloud: he scattereth '/'his bright cloud.
12 And it is turned round about by his
counsels; that they may do* whatsoever
he commandeth them upon the face of
the world in tlie earth.
13 He causeth it to come, whether /^ for
correction/ or for his land,^!' or for mercy.*
14 Hearken unto this, O Job : stand still,
and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Dost thou know when God disposed
them, and caused the light of his cloud to
shine ?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of
the clouds, the wondrous works of him
which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How thy garments are warm, when
he quieteth the earth by the south ivind 1
18 Hast thou with him spread* out the
sky, which is strong, and as a molten look-
ingglass ?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto
him : for we cannot order our speech by
reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if
a man speak, surely he shall be swal-
lowed up.

22 The shady trees cover him tvith

^ CHAPTER XLI.
OANST thou draw out *? leviathan*
with an hook? or his tongue with a cord
tvMch thou *« lettest down ?
2 Canst thou put an hook*^ into his nose?
or bore his jaw through with a thorn ?
3 Will he make many supplications un-
to thee? will he speak soft words waio thee?
4 WiU he make a covenant with thee?
wilt thou take him for a servant fcv ever ?
5 Wnt thou play with him as with a bird?
or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens ?
6 Shall the companions make a ban-
quet of him? shall they part him among
the merchants ?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed
irons ? or his head with fish spears ?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember
the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall
not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him
up : who then is able to stand before me ?
11 Who"* hath prevented me, that I
should repay himl whatsoever is under
the whole heaven is mine."
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his
power, nor his comely proportion.
13 AVho can discover the face of his
garment? or who can come to Mm /*with
his double bridle ?
14 Who can open the doors of his face ?
his teeth are terrible round about.
15 Sis '^scales are his pride, shut up
together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no
air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another,
they stick together, that they cannot be
sundered.
18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and
his eyes are Uke the eyehds of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps,
and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as
out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a
flame goeth out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and
sorrow o"is turned into joy before him.
23 The "^ flakes of his flesh are joined
together: they are firm in themselves;
they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; j-ea,
as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
25 When he raiseth up himself, the
mighty are afraid; by reason of break-
ings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that layeth at
him cannot hold; the spear, the dart,
nor the ^ habergeon.

^ CHAPTER XLII.
X HEN Job answered the Lord, and said,
2 I know that thou<^ canst do every
thing, and tJiat no thought ^can be with-
holden from thee.
3 Who^ is he that hideth counsel with-
out knowledge? therefore have I uttered
that I understood not; things too won-
derful/ for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will
speak: li' win demand of thee, and de-
clare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of
the ear : but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Wherefore* I abhor myself and re-
pent in dust and ashes.'
7 And it was so, that after the Loed had
spoken these words unto Job, the Lord
said to Eli|)haz the Temanite, My wrath is
kindled against thee, and against thy two
friends : for ye have not spoken of me'^ the
thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now' seven
bullocks and seven rams, and go to my
servant Job, and offer up for yourselves
a burnt ofiering : and my servant Job shall
fjray" for you; for ^him. will I accept:
est I deal with you after pour folly, in
that ye have not spoken of me the thing
tohich is right, like my servant Job.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the
Shuliite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went
and did according as the Lord command-
ed them : the LOED^' also accepted " Job.
10 And the Loed turned^ the capti-
vity of Job, when he prayed for his
friends: also the Loed Pgave Job twice
as much as he had before.
11 Then came there unto him aU*" liis bre-
thren, and all his sisters, and aU they that
had been of his acquaintance before, and did
eat bread with him in his house : and they
bemoaned him, and comforted him over all
the evil that the Loed had brought upon
him: every man also gave him a piece of
money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 So* the Lord blessed the latter end
of Job more than his beginning: for he
had^ fourteen thousand sheep, and six
thousand camels, and a thousand yoke
of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three
daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first, Je-
mima ; and the name of the second, Kezia ;
and the name of the thii*d, Keren-happuch.
15 And in all the land were no women
found so fair as the daughters of Job:
and their father gave them inheritance
among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job an hundred
and forty years, and saw his sons, and
his sons' sons, even four generations.
1 7 So Job djed,« being old and full of davs.

-r> PSALM I.
JlSLESSED is the man that walketh
not" in the counsel of the P ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sit-
teth* in the seat of the scornful :
2 But his deUght'* is in the law of the
LOED; and in his law/ doth he meditate
day and night.
3 And he shall be like a trees' planted
by the rivers of water, that bringeth
forth his fi'uit in his season ; his leaf also
shall not ^ wither j and whatsoever he
doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so : but are like
the chaff* wMch the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shaU. not
stand' in the judgment, nor sinners in
the congregation of the righteous.
G For the Loed knoweth* the way of
the righteous: but the Avay' of the un-
godly shall perish.
^j^ PSALM 11.
W HY'" do the heathen v rage," and
the people ^ imagine a vain thing ?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Loed, and against his anoint-
ed,^ saying^
3 Let« us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh ; the Lord shall have them in
derision.*
5 Then shall he speak imto them in
his wrath, and " vex them in his sore
displeasm-e.
6 Yet have I -^set my king* upon
M my holy hiU of Zion.
7 I will declare »'the decree: the Loed
hath said unto me. Thou" art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shaU give thee the
heathen for thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a"* rod
of iron ; thou shalt dash them in pieces
like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now, therefore, O ye kings ;
be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Loed with fear,* and
rejoice with trembling.
12 Kissy the Son, lest he be angry, and
ye perish from the way, when his wrath
is kindled but a little. Blessed* are all
they that put their trust in him.

4 I cried unto the Loed with my voice,

5 I laid me down and slept j*^ I awak-

LORD my God, in thee do I put my
trust : save me from all them that perse-
cute me, and deKver me ;
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending
it in pieces, while there is ^ none to deliver.
3 O Lord my G-od, if I have done
this ; if there be iniquity in my hands ;
4 If I have rewarded evO. unto him that
was at peace with me ; (yea, I have deliver-
ed him that without cause is mine enemy ;)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul,
and take it ; yea, let him tread down my
life upon the earth, and lay mine honour
in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger;'" lift
up thyself, because of the rage of mine
enemies ; and awaked for me to the judg-
ment that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the
people compass thee about : for their
sakes, therefore, return thou on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the people :
judge me, 0 Lord, according* to my
righteousness, and according to mine
integrity that is in me.
9 Ohlet the wickedness ofthe wicked come
to an end ; but establish the just : for the
righteous G-od trieth the hearts'' and reins.
10 My 'T (defence* is of God, which
saveth the upright in heart.
11 God Pjudgeth the righteous, and
God is angry with the tvicked every day.
12 If/ he turn not, he will whet his sword ;
lie hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the
instruments of death; he ordaineth his
arrows 5' against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,
and hath conceived mischief, and brought
forth falsehood.
15 He Tuaade a pit, and digged it, and
is* fallen into the ditch tohich he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his
own head, and his violent dealing shall
come down upon his owti pate.
17 I will praise the Lord according to
his righteousness ; and will sing praise
to the name ofthe Lord most high.

2 They speak vanity every one -with his
neighbour: toith flattering lips, and with
a 5 double heart, do they speak.
3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaketh v proud^ things ;
4 Who have said, With our tongue will
we prevail; our lips are "our own: who
is lord over us ?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for

OW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ?

2 How_ long shall I take counsel in my
soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how
long shall mine enemy be exalted over me ?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevail-

me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy ; my

PSALM XIV.
To the chief Musician, A Fsalm of David,

2 The Lord looked down from heaven up-

3 They are aU gone aside, they are all

15 As for me, I will behold thy^ face

PSALM XVIII.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the
servant/ of the Loed, who spake unto the
Lord the words f of this song in the day
that the Loed delivered him from the hand
of all his enemies, and from the hand of
I Saul : And he said,
WILL love* thee, O Loed, my strength.
2 The Loed is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer ; my Grod, my i strength,
in whom I wiU trust ; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Loed, loho is
loorthy^ to be praised: so" shall I be
saved fr-om mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and
the floods of ^ ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The /* sorrows of hell compassed me
about ; the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the
Loed, and cried imto my G-od: he heard
my voice out of his temple, and my cry
came before'' him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled:
the foundations also of the hills moved
and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke '^out of his
nostrils, and fire out of his _ mouth de-
vouj'ed : coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed" the heavens also, and came
down : and darkness wa^ under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly ;
yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place:
his pavihony round about him loere dark
waters and thick clouds^ of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones
and coals of fire.
13 The Loed also thundered ''_ in the
heavens, and the Highest gave his voice;
hail stones and coals of fire. _
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and
scattered them ; and he shot out light-
nings, and discomfited them.
15 Then« the channels of waters were
seen, and the foundations of the world
were discovered at thy rebuke, O Loed,
at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he
drew me out of 4> many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong
enemy, and from them which hated me:
for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my
calamity : but/ the Loed was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a
large place: he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.
20 The Loed rewarded^ me according to
my righteousness; according to the clean-
ness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the
Loed, and have not vnckedly departed
from my Grod.
22 For all his judgments ivere before me,
and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright ^f before him, and
I kept myself fr'om mine iniquity.*
24 Therefore hath the Loed recompens-
ed me according to my righteousness, ac-
Qod's glory in providence.

thyself merciM; with an upright man
thou wilt shew thyself upright ;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thy-

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted peo-
ple ; but wilt bring down high* looks.
28 For thou wilt light my l candle;*^ the
Lord my Grod will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have ^ run thro' a troop;
and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for G-od, his way is perfect : the
word of the Lord is /* tried;'* he is a
buckler* to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the Lord? or
who is a rock save our God ?
32 li is God/ that girdeth me with
strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
and setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to Avar, so that
a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield
of thy salvation : and thy right hand hath
holden me up, and Pthy gentleness hath
made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged ruy steps xmder
me, that my "■ feet did not slip.*'
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and
overtaken them: neither did I turn again
till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they
were not able to rise:' they are fallen
under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength
unto the battle : thou hast_ X subdued
imder me those that rose up against me.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks
of mine enemies, that I might destroy
them that hate me,
41 They cried, but there loas none to
save them: even unto the Lord, but* he
answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them smaU as the
dust before the wind; I did cast them
out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the
strivings of the people ; and thou hast
made me the head of the heathen : a 'peo-
ple ivJiom I have not known shall serve me.
44 ^As soon as they hear of me, they
shall obey me : the « strangers shall
^ submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and
be afraid out of their close places.
46 TheLoRDliveth: and blessedSemy rock;
and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that /^ avengeth me, and
»' subdueth the people under me.
48 He delivereth me from mine ene-
mies ; yea, thou Kftest me up above those
that rise up against me: thou hast deli-
vered me from the '^ violent man.
49 Therefore wiU I Pgive thanks unto
thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and

2 O my Grod, I cry in the daytune,
but thou hearest not : and in the night

3 But thou art holy, O thou that in-
habitest the praises* of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they
trusted, and thou didst dehver them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were de-
livered; they trusted in thee, and were
not confounded.
6 But I am a worm," and no man ; a re-
proach of men, and despised" of the people.
7 All"' they that see me laugh me to
scorn: they ^ shoot out the lip, they
shaken the head, saying,
8 He M trusted on the Lord that he
would deUver liim : let him deliver* him,
" seeing he delighted in him.
9 But thou art he that took me out of
the womb ; thou P didst make me hope
when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb ;
thou" art my Grod from my mother's belly.
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is
near ; for there is '^none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me:
strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They <^ gaped upon me with their
mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out hke water, and all
my bones are ^ out of joint : my heart is Hke
wax ; it is melted in the midst of nay bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a pot-
sherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my
jaws ; and thou hast brought me into the
dust of death.
16 For dogs'^ have compassed me ; the
assembly of the wicked have inclosed me :
they* pierced my hands and my feet.
17 1/ may tell all my bones : they look
and stare upon me.
WThey part my garments among them,
and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not thou far from me, O LOED :
O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword ; my

21 Save me from the lion's '' mouth :

be sUent to me, I become like them that
go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications,
when I cry unto thee, when"* I lift up
my hands toward t thy holy oracle.
3 Drawy me not away with the wick-
ed, and with the workers of iniquity;
which speak peace to their neighbours,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds,
and according to the wickedness of their
endeavours : give them after the work of
their hands : render to them then* desert.
5 Because" they regard not the works of
the Loed, nor the operation of his hands, he
shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed he the Loed, because he hath
heard the voice of my suppHcations.
7 The Loed is my strength and my
shield: my heart trusted in him, and I
am helped; therefore my heart greatly re-
joiceth, and with my song will I praise him.
8 The Loed is 7 their strength, and he
is the 5 saving strength of his anointed.

PSALM XXX.
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the
I house of David.
WILL extol thee, O Lord ; for thou
hast lifted me up, and hast not made my
foes to rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried imto thee,
and thou hast healed me.
3 O Lord, thou'' hast brought up my
soul from the grave : thou hast kept me
aHve, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing imto the Lord, O ye saints of
his, and give thanks ^at the remembrance
of his holiness.
5 For his anger endtiretli hut a moment :
in his favour is life : weeping may endm-e
for X a night, but ^ joy cometh in the morning,
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall
never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favour thou" hast ^made
my mountain to stand strong : thou didst
hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried " to thee, O Lord ; and unto
the Lord I made suppHcatiou.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when
I go down t9 the pit ? Shall the dust praise
thee ? shall it declare thy truth ?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy
upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned* for me my mourn-
ing into dancing : thou hast put ofi" my
sackcloth, and girded me with gladness ;
12 To the end that my ^ glory may sing
praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my
God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid
privily for me ; for thou art my strength.
5 Into* thine hand I commit my spirit :
thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of
truth.
6 I have hated them that regard* lying
vanities : but I trust in the Lord.
7 I wiU be glad and rejoice in thy mercy :
for thou hast considered my trouble ; thou
hast known i' my soul in adversities.
8 And hast not shut me up into the
hand of the enemy: thou* hast set my
feet in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for
I am iu trouble ; mine eye is consumed
with grief, yea., my soul and my beUy.
10 For* my life is spent Avith grief, and
my years with sighiag : _ my strength fail-
eth because of mine iniquity, and my
bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among aU mine
enemies, but especially among my neigh-
bours,* and a fear to mine acquaintance:
they that did see me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of
mind : I am like a ^ broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of
many : fear loas on every side : while they
took counsel together against me, they
devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord : I
said. Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand : deliver
me from the hand of mine enemies, and
from them that persecute me.
16 Make^f thy face to shine upon thy
servant : save me for thy mercies' sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord : for
I have called upon thee : let the wicked be
ashamed, and let them be P silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying Hps be put to silence,
which speak o" grievous things proudly and
contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how gi'eat* is thy goodness, which
thou hast laid up for them that fear thee ;
which^ thou hast wrought for them that
trust in thee before the sons of men !
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret
of thy presence from the pride of man ;
thou* shalt keep them secretly in a pavi-
lion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed he the Lord ; for he hath
shewed me his marvellous kindness in
a y strong city. _
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut
ofi'"' from before thine eyes: nevertheless
thou heardest the voice of my supplica-
tions, when I cried unto thee.
23 O love the Lord, aU ye his saints:
for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and
plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen your heart, aU ye that hope
in the Lord.

11 Be glad in the Loed, and rejoice, ye
righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that
are upright in heart.
-P, PSALM XXXIII.
ICEJOICE' in the Loed, O ye right-
eous : for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the Loed with harp : sing
unto him with the psaltery" and an in-
strument of ten strings.
3 Singw imto him a new song; play
skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Loed is right ;
and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment :
theearthisfull^ofthogoodnessoftheLoED.
6 By* the word of the Loed wei'e the
heavens made : and all<' the host of them
by the breath of his mouth.
7 Hc^ gathereth the waters of the sea
together as an heap: he layeth up the
depth in storehouses./
8 Let aU the earth fear ^ the LoED; let all the
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake,'' and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Loed '^bringeth the counsel of
the heathen to nought; he' maketh the
devices of the people of none ejBfect.
11 The counsel* of the Loed standeth
for ever, the thoughts of his heart to »' aU
generations.
12 Blessed' is the nation whose God is
the Loed ; and the people whom he hath
chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Loed looketh from heaven;
he" beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he
looketh upon aU the inhabitants of the earth.
15 Hqv fashioneth their hearts alike;
he considereth all their works.
16 There' is no king saved by the mid-
titude of an host : a mighty man is not
delivered by much strength. _
17 An horse* is a vain thing for safety :
neither shall he deliver any by his great
strength.
18 Behold, the eye* of the Loed is
upon them that fear him, upon them that
hope in his mercy ;
19 To deHver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine."
20 Our soul waiteth for the Loed;" he
is our help and oiu' shield.
21 For* our heart shall rejoice in him;

3 O magnify* the Loed with me, and

4 I sought* the Loed, and he heard
me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They ^ looked unto him, and were light-

6 This ' poor man cried, and the Loed heard

7 The angel" of the Loed encampeth
round about them that fear him, and de-
livereth them.
8 O taste? and see that the Loed is good :
blessed* is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Loed, ye his saints: for
there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack and suffer

shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, yc children, hearken unto me :
I will teach you the fear of the Loed.
12 What" man is he that desireth life, and
loveth many days, that he may see good ?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy
lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart * from evil, and do good ;

15 The eyes of the Loed are upon the right-

and deHvereth them out of aU their troubles.
18 The Loed is nigh ^unto them that
are of a broken heart ; and saveth <« such

19 Many are the afflictious of the right-

20 He keepeth aU his bones: not one

21 Evil shall slay the wicked ; and they

17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on ?

19 Let not them that are mme enemies

20 For they speak not peace ; but they

23 Stir" up thyself, and awake to my

25 Let them not say in their hearts,

7 X Eest in the Loed, and waif patiently

who prospereth in his way, because of the
man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath ;
fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but
those that wait upon the Loed, they
shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked
shall not he; yea, thou shalt diligently
consider his place, and it shall not he.
11 But* the meek shall inherit the
earth, and shall deHght themselves in the
abundance of peace.
12 The wicked ^ plotteth against the just,
and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him; for
he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the
sword, and have bent their bow, to cast
down the poor and needy, and to slay
5 such as be of upright conversation.

18 The Loed knoweth the days of the up-
right; and their inheritance'* shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the
evil time ; and in the days of famine they
shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the
enemies of the Loed shall he as the v fat

shall they consume away.
21 The -nicked borroweth, and payeth

mercy, and giveth.

23 The steps '^ of a good man are P ordered
by the Loed ; and he dehghteth in his way.
24 Though" he fall, he shall not be ut-

25 I have been young, and now am old;
yet"* have I not seen the righteous for-
saken^or his seed begging bread.
26 Me is ^ever merciful, and lendeth;

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and
dwell for evermore.
28 For* the Lord loveth judgment,
and forsaketh not his saints ; they are
preserved/ for ever : butJ" the seed of the
wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
and dwell therein for ever.
30 The* mouth of the righteous speaketh
wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his* heart:
none of his >^ steps shall sUde.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous,
and seeketh to slay him.
33 The Lord' will not leave him in his
hand, nor condemn"* him when he is judged.
34 Wait" on the Lord, and keep his way,
and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land :
when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I^ have seen the wicked in great poAver,
and spreading himself Uke a f* green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was
not : yea, I sought him, but he coidd not
be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the
upright : for the end* of that man is peace.
38 But* the transgressors shall be de-
stroyed together: the end of the wicked
shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is
of the Lord ; he is their strength in the
time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and
dehver them; he" shall deliver them
from the wicked, and save them, because
they trust in him.
PSALM XXXYIII.
O A Psalm of David, to bring to'o remembrance.
_ LORD, rebuke me not in thy -wrath ;

2 For thine arrows ^ stick fast in me,
and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh, be-
cause of thine anger ; neither is there amj
^rest in my_bones,f because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over
mine" head; as an heavy burden they
are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds* stink, and are corrupt,
because of my foohshness.
6 I am P troubled; I am bowed down
greatly ; I go mourning all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome
disease; and^^erewno soundness inmy flesh.
8 1 am feeble and sore broken : I have roar-
ed*' by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before '^ thee;
and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength fail-
eth me : as for the hght« of mine eyes, it
also is gone S from me.
11 Mv lovers and my friends stand
aloof/ from my 'Jsore; and my ^kinsmen

PSALM XXXIX.
To tbe chief Musician, even too Jeduthi;n,
I A Psabn of David.
SAID, I will take heed to my ways,
that I sin not with my tongue :« I will
keep ''my mouth with a bridle, while'"
the wicked is before me.
2 I was dumb vrith silence : I held my
peace, even from good; and my sorrow
was ^stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me; while
I was musing the fire burned: then spake
I with my tongue,
4 Lord, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days, what it is;
that I may know P how frail I am,.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an
handbreadtn ; and" mine age is as nothing
before thee: verily every man ""at his
best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in J a vain
show; surely they are disquieted in vain:
he* heapeth up riches, and knoweth not
who shall gather them,
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?
my hope is in thee.
8 Dehver me from aU my transgressions ;
make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth ;
because thou didst it.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me : I
am consumed by the x blow of tliine hand.
11 When thou with rebukes dost cor-
rect man for iniqmty, thou makest "A his
beauty to consume away like a moth:
surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give
ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at
my tears: for I am a stranger with thee,
and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 O spare me, that I may recover
strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
PSALM XL.

upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my

7 Then said I, Lo, I come : mf the

yea, thy law is v within my heart.
9 I have preached* righteousness in
the great congregation: lo, I have not re-
frained my lips, O Loed, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid^ thy righteousness
within my heart; I have declared thy
faithfulness and thy salvation: I have
not concealed thy lovingkindness and
thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies
from me, O Loed : let thy lovingkindness
and thy truth" continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable" evils have compass-
ed me about: mine iniquities ^ have taken
hold upon me, so that I am not able to look
up :»• they are more than the hairs of mine
head : therefore mv heart ''faileth me.
13 Be pleased, O Loed, to deliver me :
O Loed, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded
together that seek after my soul to destroy
it; let them be driven backward, and put
to shame, that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of
their shame, that say unto me, Aha, aha !
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be
glad in thee : let such as love thy salvation
say continually. The Loed be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; i/et the Lord
thinketh* upon me : thou art my help and

4 I said,*" Loed, be merciful unto me ;
heal* my soul; for I have sinned against
thee.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, AVhen

6 And if he come to see me, he* speaketh

PSALM XLII.

_A-S the hart ^panteth after the water
brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O
God.
2 My soulf thirsteth for God, for the
living God: when* shall I come and
appear before God ?
3 My tears have been my^ meat day
and night, while they continually say
unto me, Where is thy God ?
4 When I remember these things, I pour
out my soul in me : for I had gone with the
multitude ; I went vrith them to the house
of God, with the voice of"* joy and praise,
with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 Why art thou ^ cast down, O my soul ?
and tvh?/ art thou disquieted in me ? Hope
thou in God; for I shall yet ''praise Mm
^for the help of his countenance.
6 O my God, my soul? is cast down
within me : therefore will I remember
thee from the land of Jordan, and of the
Hermonites, fi'om ^ the hill Mizar.
7 Deep caUeth unto deep at the noise
of thy waterspouts: all thy waves* and
thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the Loed will command his
lovingkindness in the daytime, and in
the night his song shall he with me, and
my prayer unto the God of my hfe.
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast
thou forgotten me? why go I mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy ?
10 As with a '^ sword in my bones, mine
enemies reproach me ; wmle they say
daily unto me. Where is thy God?
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and
why art thou disquieted within me ? Hope
thou in God ; for I shall yet praise him, w/w
is the health of my countenance, and my God.
-, PSALM XLIII.
fJUDGE me, O God, and plead my cause
against an ^ ungodly nation: O deliver
me from ^ the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength :
why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourn-
ing because of the oppression of the enemy ?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth :
let them lead me ; let them bring me un-
to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4 Then wiU I go unto the altar of God, un-
to God P my exceeding joy : yea, upon the
harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.
5 Whyy art thou cast down, O my soul ? and
why art thou disquieted within me ? Hope
in God ; for I shall yet praise him, tvho is
the health of my countenance, and my God.
PSALM XLIY.
To the chief Musician for the Sons of
WKorah, Maschil.
E have heard with our ears, O God,
our fathers have told us, wJiat work thou
didst in their days, in the times of old.
2Hoio thou didst drive out the heathen with
thy hand, and plantedst them; hoiv thou
didst afilict the people, and cast them out.
3 For* they got not the land in possession
by their own sword, neither did then* ovm
arm save them; but thy right hand, and
thine arm, and the Hght of thy coimtenance,
because'' thou hadst a favour unto them.

5 Throiigli thee will we push down our
enemies ; through thy name will we tread
them under that rise up against us.
6 For" I will not trust in my bow, nei-
ther shall my sword save me.
7 But thou hast saved us from our ene-
mies, and hast put them to'' shame that
hated us.
8 In Grod we boast all the day long,
and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9 But thou hast cast off,* and put us to
shame ; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Thou makest us to turn back^ from
the enemy ; and they which hate us spoil
for themselves.
11 Thou hast given us 7 like sheep ap-
pointed for meat; and hast scattered us
among the heathen.
12 Thou seUest' thy people ^for nought,
and dost not increase thy toealfhhj their price.
13 Thou makest us a reproach* to our
neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them
that are round about us.
14 Thou makest ^ us a byw^ord among
the heathen, a shaking of the head among
the people.
15 My confusion 25 continually before me,
and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 For the voice of him that reproach-
eth and blasphemeth; by reason of the
enemy y and avenger.
17 All* this is come upon us ; yet have
we not forgotten thee, neither have we
dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back," neither
have our ^ steps declined from thy way ;
19 Though thou hast sore broken us in
the place of dragons, '^ and covered us
with the shadow « of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of
our Grod, or/ stretched out our hands to
a strange god ;
21 Shall not God search this out? for
he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea,* for thy sake are we killed all
the day long; we are counted as sheep
for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord ?
arise, cast''^ us not off for ever.
24 Wlierefore hidest thou thy face, and
forgettest our affliction and our oppression ?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the
dust ; our beUy cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Arise i^for our help, and redeem us
for thy mercies' sake.

2 Wash" me througlily from mine ini-

3 For I acknowledge^ my transgress-
ions ; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against* thee, thee only, have I sin-
ned, and done this evil in thy sight ;" that
thou mightest be justified when thou
speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold,'" I was shapen in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother ^ conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the
inward parts ; and in the hidden 'part
thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge* me with hyssop, and I shall
be clean : wash me, and I shall be^ whiter
than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness ;
iliat the bones which thou hast broken
may rejoice."
9 Hide* thy face from my sins, and
blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create'^ in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a ^ right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not; away from thy presence ;

12 Eestore unto me the joy of thy salva-

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken

O God, thou wilt not despise.

4 My soul is among Hons; and I lie
even among them that are set on fire, even
the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and
arrows, and their tongue* a sharp sword.
5 Be thou exalted, 0 God, above the hea-
vens ; let thy glory he above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net' for my
steps ; my soid is bowed down : they have
digged a pit before me, into the midst

9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among

PSALM LVIII.
To the chief Musician, v Al-tasehith, Michtam
Dof David.
0 ye indeed speak righteousness, O
congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O
ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart* ye work wickedness ; ye
weigh theviolence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the
womb; they go astray ^ag soon as they
be born, speaking Hes.
4 Their" poison is <^like the poison of
a serpent; they are like the deaf "A adder
that stoppeth lier ear ;
5 Wmch win not hearken to the voice
of charmers, ^ charming never so wisely.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their
mouth; break out the great teeth of the
young Hons, O Loed.
7 Let them melty away as waters toMch
rim continually : when he bendeth his
hoio to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut
in pieces.
8 As a snail iohich melteth, let every one
of them pass away; liJce the untimely birth
of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,
he shall take them away as" -n-ith a whii-1-
wind, Y both living, and in his -^Tath.
10 The righteous shaR rejoice* when
he seeth the vengeance: he/ shall wash
his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Yerily tliere
Prayer against enemies.
is P a reward for tlie righteous : verily he
is a God that judgeth « in the earth.
PSALM LIX.
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, 6 Michtam
of David; whenc Saul sent, and they
-pw watched the house to loll him.
JJELIVER'^ me from mine enemies,
O my Grod: ^defend me from them that
rise up against me.
2 DeUver me from the workers of ini-
quity, and save me from bloody* men.
3 For, lo, they he in wait for my soul ; the
mighty are gathered agaiast me ; not/ for
my transgression, nor /or my sin, O Loed.
4 They run and prepare themselves
without mi/ fault: awake to ^help me,
and behold.
5 Thou, therefore, O Loed Grod of
hosts, the Grod of Israel, awake to visit
all the heathen : be not mercifid to any
wicked transgressors. Selah.
6 They return at evening : they make a
noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, they belch out_ with their
mouth : swords * are in their Ups j for
who, say they, doth, hear?
8 But thou, O Loed, shalt laugh.' at them;
thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength wiU I wait
upon thee : for Grod is my « defence.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent'
me : God shall let me see my desire upon
mine /^enemies.
11 Slay™ them not, lest my people for-
get : scatter them by thy power ; and bring
them down, O Lord our shield.
12 For^ the sin of their mouth, and the
words of their lips, let them even be taken
in their pride; and for cursing and lying
which they speak.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume
tJiem, that they may not be; and^ let them
know that God riileth in Jacob unto the
ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at evening let them return, and
let them make a noise like a dog, and go
round about the city.
15 Let them wander up and dowii ^for
meat, X and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of thy power ; yea, I
will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morn-
ing:* for thou hast been my defence and
re&ge in the day of my trouble.
17 Unto * thee, O my strength, will I
sing: for God is my defence, and the
God of my mercy.

j3 Michtam of David, to teach; whenf
he strove with Aram-naharaim, and with
Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and
smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt,
O twelve thousand.
GOD, thou"* hast cast us off, thou
hast V scattered us, thou hast been dis-
pleased; O turn^ thyself to us again.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble ;
thou hast broken it: heal* the breaches
thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people" hard
things ; thou hast made us to * drink the
^vine of astonishment.
4 Thou hast given a banner « to them
that fear thee, that it may be displayed
because of the truth. Selah.
5 That'' thy beloved may be delivered,
save tvith thy right hand, and hear me.
6 God hath spoken in his hohness : I

-tlEAE my cry, O God; attend unto
my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry
unto thee, when my heart is overwhelm-

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me,
and a strong tower* from the enemy.
4 I wiU abide in thy tabernacle for
ever; I will -^ trust in the covert of thy
wings. Selah.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my
vows : thou hast given me the heritage of
those that fear thy name.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life ;
and his years as "^ many generations.
7 He shall abide before God for ever:
O prepare mercy and truth," ivhich may

PSALM LXII.
To the chief Musician, to 9 Jeduthun,

XRULY Pmy soul <^waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salva-

greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischiei:
against a man ? ye shall be slain aU of
you : as a bowing wall shall ye Se, and as
a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down
from his excellency ; they dehght in lies :
they bless with their mouth, but they
curse '/'inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God:
for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation :
he is my defence : I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation, and my glory :
the rock of my strength, and my refuge,
is in God.
8 Trust in him at aU times ; ye people,
poury out your heart before mm : God is
a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Surely men of low degree are vanitj%
and men of high degree are a he : to be
laid in the balance, they are 5 altogether
lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become
not vam in robbery: if riches increase,
set not your heart upon them.

8 O bless our God, ye people, and make

_LiET"» God arise, let his enemies be
scattered : let them also that hate him
flee ^ before liim.
2 As" smoke is driven away, so drive them
away : as wax" melteth before the fire, so let
the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad: let
them rejoice^ before God ; yea, let them
*« exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to Ids
name : extol him that ridetli upon the
heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice
before him.
5 A father of the fatherless,'' and a judge
of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God setteth the solitary in " families :
he" bringeth out those which are bound
with chains; but the rebellious dwell in
a dry land.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth be-
fore thy people, when thou didst march
through the wilderness ; Selah :
8 The earth" shook, the heavens also
dropped at the presence of God: even
Sinai"' itself tvas moved at the presence of
God, the God of Israel.
9 Thou, 0 God, didst o'send a plentiful
rain,* whereby thou didst confirm '^ thine
inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt there-
in : thou, O God, hast prepared of thy
goodness for the* poor.
11 The Lord gave the word; great teas
the ^ company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies "/* did flee apace ; and
she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though ye have lien among the pots,*'
yet shall ye he as the wings of a dove covered
with silver, and her feathers with yeUowgold.
14 When* the Almighty scattered kings

15 The hiU of God is as.the hill of Ba-

16 Why leap ye, ye high hills ? thisf is

yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thou-

is among them as in Sinai, in the holy ^jZace.
18 Thou* hast ascended on high, thou
hast led captivity captive: thou* hast

PSALM LXIX.
To the chief Musician upon« Shoshannim,
Q A Psalm of Dayid.
feAVE me, O God; for the waters are
come in unto my soul.
2 I sink in xdeep mire, where the^^e is
no standing: I am come into ^deep
waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 I am weary of my crying ; my tliroat
is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for
my God.
4 They*' that hate me without a cause
are more than the hau's of mine head :
they that would destroy me, heing mine
enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I
restored that which I took not away.
5 O God, thou knowest my fooHshness ;
and my ^ sins are not hid from thee.
6 Let not them that wait on thee, O
Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my
sake ; let not those that seek thee be con-
founded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7 Because for thy sake I have borne
reproach : shame hath covered my face.
8 D" am become a stranger unto my
brethren, and an alien unto my mother's
children.
9 For"* the zeal of thine house hath eaten
me up ; and" the reproaches of them that
reproached, thee are fallen upon me.
Messiah's sufferings atid triumph
10 When" I wept, and chastened my soul
with fastiuff, that was to my reproach.
11 I made sackcloth also my garment;
and I became a proverb to them.
12 They that sit in the gate speak against
me ; and I teas the song of the ^ drunkards.
13 But as for me, my prayer is unto
thee, O Lord, in an acceptable^ time:
0 G-od, in the multitude of thy mercy
hear« me, in the truth of thy salvation.
14 Dehver me out of the mire, and let me
not sink: let me be dehvered from them
that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Lef* not the waterflood overflow me,
neither let the deep swallow me up, and let
not the pit* shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-
kindness is good : turn' unto me according
to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 And hide not thy face from thy servant;
for I am in trouble : ^ hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem
it : deliver me, because of mine enemies.
19 Thou hast known my" reproach, and
my shame, and my dishonour: mine ad-
versaries are all before thee.
20 Keproach hath broken my heart, and
1 am full of heaviness : and I '' looked
for some to ?take pity, but there loas* none ;
and for comforters, but I found none.
21 They' gave me also gall for my meat ; and
in my tmrst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let« their table become a snare be-
fore them: and that lohich should have
been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they*"
see not; and make their loins continually
to shake.
24 Pour out* thine indignation upon them,
and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their ^habitation bey desolate;
and let " none dwell in their tents.
26 For* they persecute him whom thou
hast smitten;" and they talk to the grief
of ^ those whom thou hast wounded.
27 Add f^iniquityunto their iniquity; and
let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Let thembe blotted out of the book of the
living, and not be vn*itten* withthe righteous.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let
thy salvation, O Grod, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song,
and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the Lord
better than an ox or bullock that hath
horns and hoofs.
32 The 'T bumble shall see this^ and be
glad : and your heart shall Hve that seek God.
33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and
despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the

10 Therefore his people retui*n hither ; and
waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say. How* doth God know ?
and is there knowledge in the Most High ?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who
prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Verily « I have cleansed my heart in
vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 For aU the day long have I been
plagued, and V chastened every morning.
15 If I say, I wiU speak thus ; behold,
I should offend against the generation of
thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was
S too painful for me,
17 UntLl I went into the sanctuary of
God ; then understood I their end.*
18 Surely thou didst set them in slip-
pery places : thou castedst them down
into destruction.
_ 19 How are they brought into desola-
tion as in a moment! they are utterly
consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream' when one awaketh; so.,
O L9rd, when thou awakest, thou shalt
despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I
was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish wa^ I, and ^ ignorant ; I
Avas as a beast ^ before thee.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with
thee ; thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou^ shalt guide me with thy coun-
sel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee ?
and there is none upon earth that I desire
beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but
God is the -^strength of my heart, and
my portion* for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee
shall perish; thou hast destroyed all
them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to
God: I have put my trust in the Lord
God, that I may declare aU thy works.
PSALM LXXIV.
OMaschil n-of Asaph.
GOD, why hast thou cast us off for
ever ? whi/ doth thine anger smoke against
the sheep of thy pasture ?
2 Remember thy congregation, tohicli
thou hast purchased of old: the Prod of
tliine inheritance, which thou hast re-
deemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou
hast dwelt.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual
desolations : even aU that the enemy hath
done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Thine* enemies roar in the midst
of thy congregations; they set up their
ensigns /or signs,
5 A man was famous according as he
had lifted up axes upon the thick trees,
6 But now they break down the carved
work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have '/' cast fire into thy sanctu-
ary : they have defiled Jy casting down the
dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts. Let us ^ de-
stroy them together : they have burned up
aU the synagogues of God in the land.
9 We see not our signs : there is no
more any prophet : neither is there among
us any that knoweth how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary
reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme
thy name for ever ?

strength : thou brakest/ the heads of the

14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan
in pieces, and gavest him to be meat* to
the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave^" the fountam and the
flood : thou driedst"» up S mighty rivers.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thme :
thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Thou hast set aU the borders of the
earth : thou hast made 1 summer and winter.
18 Kemember this, that the enemy hath
reproached, O Lord, and that the" fool-
ish people have blasphemed thy name.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-
dove3 imto the multitude of the wicked :
forget not the congregation of thy poor
for ever.
20 Have respect unto the'' covenant :
for the dark places of the earth are fuU
of the habitations of cruelty.
21 O let not the oppressed return asham-
ed : let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause :
remember how the foolish man reproach-
eth thee daily.

4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly;

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak
not ivith a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh neither from the
east, nor from the west, nor from the o'south :
7 But God is the judge ; hes' putteth

8 For in the hand of the Loed there is
a cup,* and the Aidne is red ; it is fuU of
mixture, and Jie poiu'cth out of the same :

I A Psalm 6 of Asaph.
CRIED unto God Avith my voice, even
unto God with my voice; and he gave
ear unto me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the
Lord : my *« sore ran in the night, and ceased
not : my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled :
I complained, and my spirit* was over-
whelmed. Selah.
4 Thou boldest mine eyes waking: I
am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered* the days of old,
the years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song"* in
the night : I commune" with mine 0T^1l
heart, and my spirit made diligent"' search.
7 Will the Lord cast off for^ ever?
and will he be favoui-able no more ?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
doth his promise tail ^ for evermore ?
9 Hath God forgotten* to be gracious?
hath he in anger shut up his tender mer-
cies ? Selah.
10 And I said. This* is my infirmity :
but I toill remember the years of the right
hand of the Most High.
Ill wiU remember the works* of the Lobd;
surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 I win meditate also of all thy work,
and talk of thy doings.
13 Thy way, O God, is^ in the sanctu-
ary : who/ is so great a God as our God !
14 Thou art the God that doest won-
ders : thou hast declared thy strength
among the people.
15 Thou hast with thine armredeemed thy
people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters' saw thee, O God, the
waters saw thee: they were afraid; the
depths also were troubled.
17 The clouds t poured out water; the
skies sent out a sound : thine arrows also
went abroad.
18 The voice' of thy thunder teas in
the heaven: the hghtrnngs lightened the
world : the earth trembled and shook.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path
in the great waters, and thy footsteps are
not known.
20 ThouP leddest thy people like a

4 We" will not hide tJiem from their chil-
dren, shewing to the generation to come the
E raises of the Loed, and lus strength, and
is wonderful works that he hath done.
5 For he estabhshed a testimony in Jacob,
and appointed a law*' in Israel, which he
commanded our fathers, that they should
make them known to their children ;
6 That* tlie generation to come might
know them,, even the children tvhich should
be born, tvho should arise and declare
them to their children :
7 That they might set their hope in
God, and not forget the works of Grod,
but keep his commandments :
8 And* might not be as their fathers, a
stubborn and rebellious ' generation ; a ge-
neration that P set not their heart aright, and
whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9 The children of Ephraim, being arm-
ed, and y carrying bows, turned back" in
the day of battle.
10 TheyP kept not the covenant of God,
and refused to walk in his law ;
11 And forgaf* his works, and his won-
ders that he had shewed them.
12 Marvellous things' did he in the
sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt,
in the field of* Zoan.
13 He divided*" the sea, and caused
them to pass through; and he made*
the waters to stand as an heap.
14 In* the daytime also he led them with
a cloud, and all the night with a Ught of fire.
15 He clave" the rocks in the wilderness,
and gave them drink as out of the great
depths.
16 He" brought streams also out of the
rock, and caused waters to run down
like rivers.
17 And they sinned yet more against
him, by provoking « the Most High in the
wilderness.
18 And/ they tempted God in their
heart, by asking meat for their lust.
19 Yea, they spake against God ; they said,
Can God ^ furnish a table in the wilderness ?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the
waters gushed out, and the streams over-
flowed; can he give bread also? can he
provide flesh for his people ?
21 Therefore the Loed heard this, and
was* wroth : so a fire was kindled against
Jacob^nd anger also came up against Israel;
22 Because they beHeved not in God,
and trusted not in his salvation :
23 Though he had commanded the clouds
from above, and opened the doors* of heaven,
24 And had rained down manna upon
them to eat, and had given them of the
corn of heaven,
25 TMan did eat angels' food: he sent
them meat to the full.
26 He caused an east wind to ? following the ewes great
with young, he brought him to feed" Jacob
his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72 So he fed them according to the in-
tegrityP of his heart, and guided them by
the skilfulness of his hands.
PSALM LXXIX.
OA Psalm /c of Asaph..
GrOD, the heathen' are come into thine
inheritance; thy holy temple have they
defiled; they* have laid Jerusalem on
heaps.
2 The dead bodies of thy servants have
they given to he meat unto the fowls of
the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto
the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like
water round about Jerusalem; and there
tvas none*" to bury them.
4 We are become a repr9ach^ to our
neighbours, a scorn and derision to them
that are round about us.
5 How long, LoED ? wilt thou be angry
for ever ? shall thy jealousy" burn like fire ?
6 Pour* out thy wrath upon the heathen
that have not known thee, and upon the
kingdoms that have not called upon thy
name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and
laid waste his dwelling place.
8 0"^ remember not against us ^former
iniquities : let thy tender mercies speedily
prevent us ; for we are brought very* low.
9 Help us, O Grod of our salvation, for
the glory of thy name ; and deHver us, and
purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
10 Wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is their God? let him be knovm
among the heathen in our sight, Jy the
»' revenging of the blood of thy servants
ivhich is shed.
11 Let^ the sighing of the prisoner
come before thee; according to the great-
ness of "^ thy power P preserve thou those
that are appointed to die :
12 And render unto our neighbours se-
venfold into their bosom their reproach,^
wherewith they have reproached thee,
O Lord.
13 So we thy people, and sheep of thy
pasture, will give thee thanks for ever;
we will shew"* forth thy praise to all
generations.

Jthe Loed is our defence; and
the Holy One of Israel is our King.*
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy
Holy One, and saidst, I have laid help
upon one that is mighty;' I have exalted
one chosen out of the people.
20 I" have found David my servant ;
with my holy oil have I anointed him :
21 With" whom my hand shall be esta-
blished; mine arm also shall strengthen
him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him ;
nor the son of wickedness afSict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before
his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy
shall he with him ; and in my name shall
his horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the* sea,
and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me. Thou art my fa-
ther, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I win make him my*^ firstborn,
higher" than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy* will I keep for him for
evermore, and my covenant* shall stand
fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for
ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If" his children forsake my law, and
walk not in my judgments ;
31 If they ''break my statutes, and
keep not my commandments ;
32 Then will I visit their transgression
with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless* my lovingkindness
TvriU I not utterly take from him, nor
suffer my faithfulness to ^ fail.
34 My covenant wiU I not break,*^ nor
alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my hohness,
X that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shaU endure for ever, and
his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as
the moon, and as a faithful witness in
heaven. Selah.
38 But"' thou hast cast off and abhorred,
thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39 Thou hast made void the covenant
of thy servant ; thou hast profaned his
crown, hy casting it to the ground.
40 Thou hast broken down* all his
hedges; thou hast brought his strong
holds to ruin.
41 AH that pass by the way spoil him :
he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Thou hast set up the right hand of
|3 fhe arm

JjOED, thou hast been our dwelling
place' in « all generations.
2 Before* the mountains were brought
forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth
and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou art God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction ;
and sayest, Eeturn * ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are
hut as yesterdaj^ when ^ it is past, and as
a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a
flood ; they are as a sleep : in the morning
they are like grass «> tohich (^ groweth up,
6 Iny the morning it flourisheth, and
groweth up; in the evening it is cut
down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger,
and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou'^ hast set our iniquities before
thee, our secret sins in the hght of thy
countenance.
9 For all our days are '^ passed away
in thy wrath; we spend our years as a
P tale that is told.
10 ""The days of our years are three-
score years and ten ; and if by reason of
strength they he fourscore years, yet is
their strength labour and sorrow : ior« it
is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine
anger? even according to thy fear, so is
thy wrath.
12 So teach tis to number our days, that
we may ^ apply otir hearts unto/ wisdom.
13 Eeturn, O Lord, how long? and let
it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy ; that
we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days
wherein thou hast afilicted us, and the
years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy ser-
vants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty* of the Lord
our God be upon us : and estabHsh thou
the work of our hands upon us ; yea, the
work of our hands establish* thou it.

13 Thou' shalt tread upon the lion and

set him on high, because he hath known

jLT' is a good thing to give thanks unto
the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy
name, O Most High :
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in
the morning, <* and thy faithfulness \^ every
night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings,
and upon the psaltery; "upon the harp
with ^a solemn sound.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad
through thy work ; I will triumph in the
works of thy hands.
5 O Lord, how great are thy works!
and thy thoughts « are very deep,
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither
doth a fool understand this.
7 When*' the wicked spring as the
Irass, and when all the workers of iniquity
o flourish, it is that they shall be de-
stroyed for ever :
8 But thou. Lord, art most high for
evermore.
9 F9r, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for,
lo, thine enemies shall perish: all* the
workers of iniquity shall be scattered ;
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like
tlie horn of an imicorn: I shall be an-
ointed ' with fresh oil.
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire
on mine enemies ; and mine ears shall
hear my desire of the wicked that rise up
against me.

JL WILL sing of mercy and judgment:
unto thee, O Loed, will I sing.
2 I will behave" myself wisely in a
perfect way. O when wilt , thou come
unto me? I will walk" within my house
with a perfect heart.
3 1^ will set no "wicked thing before
mine eyes : I hate the work of them'' that
turn aside ; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A froward heart shall depart from
me ; I will not know* a wicked person.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neigh-
bour, him will I cut off: him that hath an
high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall he upon the faithful
of the land, that they may dwell with me :
he that walketh M-in a perfect way, he
shall serve me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not
dwell within my house; he that telleth
lies" shall not »* tarry in my sight.
SI" will early destroy all the wicked
of the land, that I may cut off all wicked
doers from the city of the LoED.
PSALM CIL
A Prayer Trof the afflicted, when* he is over-
whehned, and ponrethy out his complaint
H before the Loed.
EAR* my prayer, O Loed, and let
my cry come unto thee.
2 Hide<^ not thy face from me in the
day tohen I am in trouble ; incline thine
ear unto me : in the day when I call,
answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed Plike smoke,
and my bones are burned as an hearth.
4 My heart is smitten, and withered
like grass ; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groan-
ing, my bones cleave to my «^ skin.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness ;
I am like an owl of the desert.
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone
upon the house top.
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the
day; and they that are mad against me
are sworn/ against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 Because of thine indignation and
thy wrath: for* thou hast lifted me up,
and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow* that de-
clineth; and I am withered Hke* grass.
12 But thou,' O Loed, shalt endure
for ever, and thy remembrance unto all
generations.

forget not all his benefits :
3 Who forgiveth^ all thine iniquities;
who healeth" all thy diseases ;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruc-
tion ; who crowneth thee with loving-
kindness and tender mercies ;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things; so that thy youth is** renewed
like the eagle's.
6 The Loed executeth righteousness
and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses,
his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Loed is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and i" plenteous in mercy.
9 He* will not always chide; neither
will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our
sins, nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities.
11 For "^as the heaven is high above
the earth, so great is his mercy toward
them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath he removed*' our transgres-
sions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the Loed pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he re-
membereth that we are dust.™

-r> PSALM CIY.
J5LESS the Lord, O my soul. O Lord
my Grod, thou art very great; thou** art
clothed with honour and majesty :
2 Who coverest thyself with lights as
with a garment; who*" stretchest out the
heavens like a curtain ;
3 Who* layeth the beams of his cham-
bers in the waters; who maketh the
clouds'' his chariot; who'" walketh upon
the wings of the wind ;
A Whoy maketh his angels spirits ; his
ministers a flaming fire ;*
5 i\ Who laid the foundations of the earth,
that it should not be removed for ever.
6 Thou'' coveredst it with the deep as
tvith a garment: the waters stood above
the mountains.
7 At/ thy rebuke they fled; at the
voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8 ^They go up by the mountains; they
go down by the valleys unto the place
which thou hast founded for them.
9 Thou' hast set a bound that they may
not pass over, that they turn not again to
cover the earth.
10 «He sendeth the springs into the
valleys, which ^ run among the hOls.
11 They give drink to every beast of
the field; the wild asses f* quench their
thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the hea-
ven have their habitation, tvhich "sing
among the branches.
13 He watereth the hills from his
chambers : the earth is satisfied with the
fruit of thy works.
14 He causeth the grass to grow for
the cattle, and herb for the service of
man, that he may bring forth food out of
the earth;
15 And wine' that maketh glad the
heart of man, and '^oil to make his face
to shine, and bread which strengtheneth
man's heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are full of
sap: the cedars* of Lebanon which he
hath planted ;
17 Where the birds make their nests : as
for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the
wild goats, and the rocks for the conies.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons :
the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is
night, wherein all the beasts <^of the
forest do cree^ forth.

3 But* our God is in the heavens; he

4 Their idols «' are silver and gold, the

6 They have ears, but they hear not ;
noses have thej-, but they smell not ;

not: feet have they, but they walk not;

9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord ; he
is ' their help and their shield."'
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord ;

the head, that ran down upon the beard,

2 Ye« that stand in the house of the Lord,

3 Praise the Lord ; for the Lord is
good : sing praises unto his name ; for/ it
is pleasant.
4 Fovff the Lord hath chosen Jacob
unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar
treasure.
5 For I know that the Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever* the Lord pleased, that
did he in heaven, and in earth, in the
seas, and all deep places.
7 He"* causeth the vapours to ascend

lightnings for the rain: he bringeth the

8 Who smoteP the firstborn of Egypt,
5 both of man and beast.
9 Who sent tokens ^ and wonders into

10 Who* smote great nations, and slew
mighty kings ;
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og

of Canaan :
12 And gave « their land for an heritage,

rp CHAPTER I.
X HE proverbs * of KSolomon, tlie son of
David, king of Israel ;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to
perceive the words of understanding ;
3 To'' receive the instruction of wisdom,
justice, and judgment, and P equity ;
4 To give subtilty to the simple,/ to the
young* man knowledge and V discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will in-
crease learning ; and a man of under-
standing shall attain unto wise counsels ;
6 To understand a proverb, and ^the
interpretation; the words of the wise,
and their dark' sayiogs.
7 The fear of the Loed is the v begin-
ning* of knowledge: but fools despise
wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy
father, and forsake not the law of thy
mother :
9 For they sAall he an ^ornament of
grace unto thy head, and chains about
thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, con-
sent" thou not,
11 If they say, Come with us, let us
lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for
the innocent without cause :
12 Let us swallow them up alive, as the
grave; and whole, as those that go down
into the pit :
13 We shall find all precious substance,
we shaU fill our houses with spoil :
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all
have one purse :
15 My son, walk 5 not thou in the way
with them; refrain® thy foot from their
path :
16 For their feet run to evil, and make
haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in
the ^ sight of any bird :
18 And they lay wait for their otun blood ;
they lurk privily for their otvn lives.
19 So" are the ways of every one that
is greedy of gain ; which taketh away the
life of the owners thereof.
20 f* Wisdom'; crieth without; she ut-
tereth her voice in the streets ;
21 She crieth in the chief place of con-
course, in the openings of the gates: in
the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye
love simplicity ? and the scorners delight in
their scorning, and fools hate knowledge ?
23 Turn you at my reproof : behold, I**
will pour out my spirit unto you, I will
make known my words unto you.
24 Because c I have called, and ye re-
fused; I have stretched out my hand,
and no man regarded ;
25 But ye have set at nought all my
counsel, and would none of my reproof;
26 I « also will laugh at your calamity;
I wUl mock when your fear cometh ;
27 When your fear cometh as desola-
tion, and your destruction cometh as a
whirlwind; when distress and anguish
cometh upon you.

ntyp , CHAPTER II.
IVLY son, if thou wilt receive my words,
and hide' my commandments with thee ;
2 So that thou incline'" thine ear unto
wisdom, and apply thine heart to under-
standing ;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and
« liftest up thy voice for understanding ;
4 If thou seekest her as silver," and
searchest for her as /or hid treasures ;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of
the Loed, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For^ the Loed giveth wisdom: out
of his mouth cometh knowledge and un-
derstanding.
^ 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the
righteous: he is a buckler to them that
walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment,
and preserveth"" the way of his saints.
9 Then* shalt thou understand right-
eousness, and judgment, and equity; yea,
every good path.
10 When wisdom entereth into thine
heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto
thy soul,
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, un-
derstanding shall keep thee ;
12 To deliver thee from the way of the
evil man, from the man that speaketh
froward things ;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness,
to walk"" in the ways of darkness ;
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight*
in the frowardness of the wicked ;
15 Whose ways are crooked, y and they
froward in their paths ;
16 To dehver thee from the* strange
woman, even from the stranger tohich
flattereth with her words ;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her
youth, and forgetteth the covenant* of
her G-od.
18 For her house incHneth unto death,
and her paths unto the dead.
19 None "^ that go unto her return again,
neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of
good w^??, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the
land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off" from
the earth, and the transgressors shall be
" rooted out of it.

JMY son, forget not my law; but let
thine heart* keep my commandments :
2 For*^ length of days, and ^long life,
and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee ;
bind them about thy neck; write/ them
upon the table of thine heart :
4 So shalt thou find favour and good & im-
derstanding in the sight of God and man.
5 I'rust in the LoED with all thine heart;
and lean not* unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes : fear
the LoED, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be ^health to thy navel, and
f marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the Loed with thy sub-
stance, and with the firstfruits™ of all
thine increase :
10 So" shall thy barns be filled with
plenty, and thy presses shall burst out
with new wine.
11 My*' son, despise not the chastening
of the Loed ; neither be weary of his
correction :
12 For whom the LoED loveth he cor-
recteth, even as a father the son in tvhom
he delighteth.
13 Happy^ 2s the man ^^ai^findeth wisdom,
and the man that ^getteth imderstanding :
14 For 3 the merchandise of it is better
than the merchandise of silver, and*" the
gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious* than rubies:
and aU the things thou canst desire are
not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand ;
and in her left hand riches' and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and aU her paths are^ peace.
18 She is a tree " of life to them that lay
hold upon her ; and happy is every one
that retaineth her.
19 The Loed by wisdom * hath founded
the earth ; by understanding hath he
V established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are
broken y up, and the clouds drop down
the* dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from
thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and dis-
cretion.
22 So shall they be life imto thy soul,
and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way
safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When" thou liest down thou shalt
not be afraid ; yea, thou shalt lie down,
and thy sleep'' shall be sweet.
25 Be^ not afraid of sudden fear, nei-
ther of the desolation of the wicked, when
it cometh.
2^ For the Loed shall be thy confi-
dence, and/ shall keep thy foot from
being taken.
27 Withhold not good from o'them to
whom it is due,*' when* it is in the power
of thine hand to do it.
28 Say' not unto thy neighbour, Go,
and come again, and to morrow I will
give ; when thou hast it by thee.
29 X Devise not evil against thy neigh-
bour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive* not with a man without
cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not V'the oppressor, and
choose none of his ways.

TT CHAPTER IV.
-tlEAR, ye children, the instruction of a
father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine,* for-
sake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father's son, tender*
and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He' taught me also, and said unto
me. Let thine heart retain my words ;
keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding; for-
get it not : neither decline from the words
of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve
thee : love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing : there-
fore get wisdom : and with all thy getting
get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote
thee : she shall bring thee to honoui',
when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an orna-
ment of grace ; M a crown of glory shall
she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my
sayings ; and the years of thy life shall
be many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of
wisdom ; I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not
be straitened ; and when thou runnest,
thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction ; let her
not go : keep her ; for she is thy Hfe,
14 Enter "^ not into the path of the wick-
ed, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from
it, and pass away.
16 For they sleep not, except they have
done mischief; and their sleep is taken
away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wicked-
ness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But" the path of the just is as the
shining light, that shineth more and more
unto the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness ;
they* know not at what they stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words; in-
cline thine ear unto my sayings :
21 Let them not depart from thine
eyes; keep them in the midst of thine
heart :
22 For they are life imto those that find
them, and '" health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart Pwith all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
24 Put away from thee ^a froward
mouth, and perverse Hps put far from thee.
25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let
thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and <^ let
all thy ways be established.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to
the left : remove thy foot from evil.

and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 For" the Hps of a strange woman
drop as an honeycomb, and her f mouth is

4 But her end is bitter* as wormwood,
sharp '^ as a two edged sword.
5 Her* feet go down to death, her steps
take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path
of life, her ways are moveable, that thou
canst not know thetn.
7 Hear me now, therefore, O ye children,
and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and
come not nigh the door of her house ;
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto
others, and thy years unto the cruel :
10 Lest strangers be fiUed with thy
^wealth, and thy labours be in the house
of a stranger ;
11 And thou mourn at the last,"? when
thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How' have I hated instruc-
tion, and my heart despised" reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of
my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to
them that instructed me !
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst
of the congregation and assembly.
15 Drink waters out of thine own* cistern,
and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad,
and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and
not strangers' with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed; and
rejoice with the wife" of thy youth,
19 Jjet^ her be as the loving hind and
pleasant roe; let her « breasts satisfy thee
at all times, and ^ be thou ravished
always with her love.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be
ravished with a strange woman, and
embrace the bosom of a stranger ?
21 For/ the ways of man are before the
eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all
his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the
wicked himself, and he shall be holden
with the cords of his "sins.
23 He^' shall die without instruction;
and in the greatness of his folly he shall
go astray.

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thy-

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor

13 The* fear of the Loed is to hate
evil : pride, and arrogancy, and the evil
way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom :
I am understanding ; I have'' strength.
15 By me« kings reign, and princes
decree justice.
16 B:r me princes rule, and nobles, even

20 I *J lead in the way of ri-ghteousness,
in the midst of the paths of judgment :
21 That I may cause those that love
me to inherit substance ; and I will fill
their treasures.
22 The" Lord possessed me in the be-
ginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up" from everlasting, from
the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there loere no depths, I was
brought forth; when there loere no foun-
tains abounding with water.
25 Before P the mountains were settled,
before the hills was I brought forth :
26 While as yet he had not made the
earth, nor the ^fields, nor the ^highest
part of the dust of the world.
27 When* he prepared the heavens, I
was there: when he set a "compass upon
the face of the depth ;
28 When he established the clouds
above ; when he strengthened the foun-
tains of the deep ;
29 When" he gave to the sea his de-
cree, that the waters should not pass his
commandment ; when he appointed the
foundations of the earth :
30 Then I was by him, as one brought
up with him; and I" was daily his de-
hght, rejoicing always before him ;
31 Eejoicing in the habitable part of
his earth; and my delights toere with the
sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O
ye children : for blessed are they that
keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and
refuse it not.
34 Blessed* is the man that heareth
me, watching daily at my gates, waiting
at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life,
and shall P obtain favour of the Loed.
36 But he that sinneth against me
wrongeth his own soul : aU they that
hate me love death.

6 A fool's ^ lips enter into contention,
and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7 A fool's mouth is his" destruction,
and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a ^talebearer y are as
wounds,'^ and they go down into the f in-
nermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is
brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Loed is a strong
tower;/ the righteous runneth into it,
and is ^ safe.
\\ The rich raan's wealth is his strong
city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is
haughty, and before 9 honour is humility.
13 He that /^ aniwereth a matter « before
he heareth it^ it is foUy and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his
infirmity: but a wounded* spirit who
can bear ?
15 The heart of the prudent"* getteth
knowledge ; and the ear of the wise seek-
eth knowledge.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him,
and bringeth him before great men.
17 Se that is first in his own cause
seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh
and searcheth him.
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease,
and parteth between the mighty.
19 A brother' ofiended is harder to he
toon than a strong city ; and their conten-
tions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with
the fruit of his mouth; and with the in-
crease of his Hps shall he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of
the tongue:' and they that love it shall
eat the fruit " thereof.
22 Whoso " findeth a wife findeth a good
thing., and obtaineth favour of the Loed.
23 The poor useth entreaties; but the
rich answereth roughly.
24 A man that hath friends must shew
himself friendly : and there is a friend
that sticketh closer than a brother.
Tj CHAPTER XIX.
J3ETTER* is the poor that walketh in
his integrity, than he that is perverse in
his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also, that the soul be without know-
ledge, it is not good ; and he that hasteth
with his feet sinneth.
3 The foolishness of man perverteth his
way : and his heart fretteth against the Loed.
4 Wealth maketh many friends : but the
poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be 0 unpunish-
ed; and he that speaketh Ues shall not escape.
6 Many will entreat the favour of the
prince ; and every man is a friend to
V him that giveth gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate
him; how much more do his friends go
far from him? he pursueth them tvith
words, yet they are wanting to him.
8 He" that getteth y wisdom loveth his
own soul: he that keepeth understanding
shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunish-
ed ; and he that speaketh Hes shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool;
much less for a servant to have rule
over princes.

19 A man of great wrath shall ^ suffer
punishment: for if thou deliver Mm, yet
thou must ^do it again.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction,
that"* thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's
heart; nevertheless," the counsel of the
Loed, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness :
and a poor man is better than a Uar.
23 The " fear of the Loed tendeth to life ;
and he that hath it shall abide satisfied;
he shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hideth his hand in
his bosom, and will not so much as bring
it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will ^be-
ware; and reprove one that hath under-
standing, and he will understand knowledge.
2Q He that wasteth his father, and cha-
seth away his mother, is a son that causeth

know not :
19 The way of an eagle in the air, the
way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of

23 For an odious woman when she is

15 The labour of the foolish wearieth
every one of them: because he knoweth
not how to go to the city.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a
child,' and thy princes eat in the morning !
17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy
kmg IS the son of nobles, and thy princes
eat in due season, for strength, and not
for drunkenness !
18 By much slothfulness the building

UAST* thy bread ^upon the waters : * for
thou shalt find it after many days.

shall be upon the earth.
3 If the clouds be fuU of rain, they
empty themselves upon the earth : and if
the tree fall toward the south or toward
the north, in the place where the tree
faUeth, there it shall be.
4 He that observeth the wind, shall not
sow; and he that regardeth the clouds,
shall not reap.

in the womb of her that is with child;

joice in them all; yet* let him remember

/3 cease because they are few, and those that
look out of the windows be darkened,
4 And the doors shall be shut m the
streets, when the sound of the grinding
is low, and he shall rise up at the voice

sic shall be brought low : - ,-, ,

and the grasshopper shall be a burden,
and desire shall fail; because man goeth
to his long home, and the mourners go
about the streets :
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or
the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher
be broken at the fountain, or the wheel
broken at the cistern :

9 And, y moreover, because the Preacher
was wise, he still taught the people know-
ledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought
out, and set in order, many proverbs.
10 The Preacher sought to find out
5 acceptable words : and that tohich toas
written toas upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads,
and as naUs fastened i^/ the masters of

rr, CHAPTER I.
XHE« song of songs which is Solomons.
2 Let him kiss* me with the kisses of his
mouth : for thy Y 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 hath brought me into his
chambers:* we wUl be glad and rejoice
in thee ; we wUl remember thy love more
than wine : the 1 upright love thee.
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daugh-
ters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar,
as the curtains of Solomon.
6 Look not upon me, because I am
black, because the sun hath looked upon
me: my mother's children were angry "»
with me ; they made me keeper of the
vineyards ; hut mine own vineyard have
I not kept.
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth,
where" thou feedest, where thou makest
thy fiock 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, go thy way forth by the
footsteps" of the flock, and feed thy kids
beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I have compared thee, O my love,
to« a company of horses in Pharaoh's
chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows
of jewels.,^ thy neck with chains of gold.
11 We will make thee borders of gold,
with studs of silver.
12 While the king sitteth at his table,
my spikenard sendeth forth the smell
thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my wellbe-
loved unto me ; he shall lie all night
betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of
" camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15 Behold, thou art fair, my P love ; be-
hold, thou art fair, thou hast doves' eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved,

10 My beloved spake, and said unto
me. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and
come away.
11 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 hirds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in

13 The fig tree putteth forth her green
figs, and the vines loith the tender grape
give a good smell. Arise, my love, my
fair one, and come away.
14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of
the rock, in the secret places of the stairs,
let me see thy countenance, let me hear

thy countenance is comely.

10 Who is she that looketh forth « as the
morning, fair as the moon, clear as the
sun, and terrible" as an army with banners ?

the base against the honourable.
6 When a man shall take hold of his
brother, of the house of his father, sayimj.,
Thou hast clothing, be tliou our ruler,
and let this ruin he under thy hand :
7 In that day shall he Y swear, saying,
I will not be an f healer; for in my house
is neither bread nor clothing: make me
not a ruler of the people.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined,* and Judah
is fallen ; because/ their tongue and their
doings are against the Loed, to provoke
the eyesf of his glory.
9 The show of their countenance' doth
witness against them, and they declare
their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe
unto their soul! for they have rewarded
evil unto themselves.
10 Say 3^e to the righteous, that* it
shall he well with him : for they shall eat
the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall he ill
with him: for the reward of his hands
shall be ^ given him.
12 As for my people, children are their op •
pressors, and women rule over them. O my
people, they which ^lead thee cause thee
to err, and »« destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The Loed standeth up to plead,"
and standeth to judge the people.
14 The Loed will enter into judgment
with the ancients oi' his people, and the
princes thereof: for ye have ^ eaten up
the vineyard ; 9 the spoil of the poor is in
your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beaf" my
people to pieces, and grind the faces of
the poor ? saith the Lord God of hosts.
16 Moreover the Loed saith. Because
the daughters of Zion are haughty, and
walk with stretched forth necks, and
"wanton eyes, walking and ^mincing
as they go, and making a tinkling with
their feet :
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with
a scab the crown of the head of the
daughters of Zion, and the Loed wiU
T discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord wiU take away
the bravery of their tinkling ornaments
ah out their feet, and their X cauls, and
their round tires like the moon,
19 The P chains, and the bracelets, and
the y mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of
the legs, and the headbands, and the
^ tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel,
and the mantles, and the wimples, and
the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and
the hoods, and the veils.
24 And it shall come to pass, that in-
stead of sweet smell, there shall he stink;
and instead of a girdle, a rent; and in-
stead of well set hair, baldness ; * and in-
stead of a stomacher, a girding of sack-
cloth ; and burning instead of beauty.

2 In that day shaU the branch* of the
LoED be f beautiful and glorious, and
the fruit of the earth shall be excellent
and comely for 'J them that are escaped
of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he
that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth
in Jerusalem, shall be called'' holy, even
every one that is written ^ among the
living in Jerusalem :
4 When the Lord shall have'' washed
away the filth of the daughters of Zion,
and shall have purged the blood of Jeru-
salem from the midst thereof, by the spirit
of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 Aid the Lord will create upon every
dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon
her assembUes, a cloud and smoke by
day, and the shining of a flaming fire^
by night: for ^upon aU the glory shall he
a i^ defence.
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a
shadow in the daytime from the heat, and
for a place of refage,^' and for a covert
from storm and from rain.
^y CHAPTER V.
JM OW will I sing to my weUbeloved a
song of my beloved touching his vine-
yard. My wellbeloved hath a* vineyard
m '^ a very fruitful hill :
2 And he P fenced it, and gathered out
the stones thereof, and planted it with
the choicest vine,.' and built a tower in
the midst of it, and also '"made a wine-
press therem: and he looked that it
should bring forth grapes, and it brought
forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusa-
lem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you,
betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to
my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
wherefore, when I looked that it should
bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild
grapes ?
5 And now, go to; I will teU you what
I will do to my vineyard: I will take
away the* hedge thereof, and it shall be
eaten up : and break down the wall there-
of, and it shall be X trodden dovm :
6 And I will lay it waste : it shall not be
pruned nor digged: but there shall come
up briers and thorns : I wiU also command
the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the Loed of hosts
is the house of Israel, and the men of Ju-
dah his ^pleasant plant: and he looked
for judgment, but behold y oppression ;
for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8 Woe xmto them that join^ house to
house, that lay field to field, till there he
no place, that ^they may be placed alone
in the midst of the earth !
9 ^In mine ears said the Loed of hosts,
'J Of a truth, many houses shall be desolate,
even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10 Yea, 9 ten acres of vineyard shall
yield one bath, and the seed of an homer
shall yield an ephah.
11 Woe imto them that rise up early in
the morning, that they may follow strong
drink: that continue until night, till
wine ^inflame them !
12 And*" the harp and the viol, the tabret
and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts : but
they* regard not the work of the Loed, nei-
ther consider the operation of his hands.

13 iherefore my people are gone into
captivity, because" they have no know-
jedge; and their ^ honourable men are
tarnished, and their multitude dried up
with thirst.
14 Therefore heU hath enlarged herself,
and opened her mouth without measure:
and then- glory, and their multitude, and
their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shaU
descend into it.
15 And the mean man shall be brought
down, and the mighty man shall be hum-
bled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be
humbled :
16 But the Loed of hosts shall be ex-
alted m judgment, and «God, that is holy,
shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their
manner, and the waste places of the fat
ones shall strangers eat.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity
with cords of vanity, and sin as it were
with a cart rope :
19 That say, Let/ him make speed, and
hasten his work, that we may see it : and
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel
draw nigh and come, that we may know it !
20 Woe unto them that "call evil good,
and good evil ; that put darkness for hght,
and light for darkness ; that put bitter for
sweetjand sweet for bitter !
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their
own' eyes, and prudent o-in their own
sight !
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to
drink wine, and men of strength to mingle
strong drink :
23 Which justify' the wicked for reward,
and take away the righteousness of the
righteous from him !
24 Therefore as the ^fire devoureth the
stubble, and the flame consumeth* the
chafi", «o their root shall be as rottenness,
and their blossom shall go up as dust.
Because they have cast away the law of
the Loed of hosts, and despised the word
of the Holy One of Israel :
25 Therefore is the anger of the Loed
kindled against his people, and he hath
stretched forth his hand against them, and
hath smitten them: and the lulls did"*
tremble, and their carcases loere torn ^ in
the midst of the streets. For all" this
his anger is not turned away, but his
hand is stretched out stUl.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the
nations from far, and wfll hiss xmto them
from the end of the earth: and, behold,
they shall come with speed swiltly :
27 None" shall be weary nor stumble
among them; none shall slumber nor
sleep; neither shaU the girdle of their
loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their
shoes be broken :
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all
their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall
be counted like flint, and their wheels
like a whirlwind :
29 Their roaring shall he like a lion, they
shall roar like young lions, yea. they shall
roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shaU carry
it away safe, and none shaU dehver it.
30 And in that day they shaU roar
against them like the roaring of the sea:
and if one look imto the land, behold
darkness and "sorrow, ^and the light is
darkened in the heavens thereof.

saw" also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and hfted up, and ^liis tram Med
the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each
one had six wings ; with twain he covered
his face, and with twain* he covered his
feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And 5 one cried iinto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
^the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the 'J door moved at
the voice of lum that cried, and the house
was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me ! for I am -^ un-
done; because*^ I am a man of unclean
lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people
of unclean lips : for mine eyes have seen
the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto
me, '' having a live coal in his hand, tvhich
he had taken with the tongs from oif
the^ altar;
7 And he 'rlaid ii upon my mouth, and
said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips, and
thine imquity is taken away, and thy sin
purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying. Whom shall I send, and who wiU
go for us? Then said I, o-Here am I;
send me.
9 And he said, Gro and tell this people.
Hear ye t indeed, but understand not;
and see ye 4* indeed, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and
make their ears heavy, and shut their
eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and
hear with their ears, and understand with
their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And
he answered. Until the cities be Avasted
without inhabitant, and the houses without
man, and the land be X utterly desolate,
12 And the Lord have removed* men
far away, and there he a great forsaking
in the midst of the land.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, ^ and it
shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil
tree, and as an oak, whose ^substance is
in them when they cast their leaves, so the
holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
CHAPTEE YIL
,AjND^"= it came to pass in the days of
Ahaz, the son of Jothani, the son of Uz-
ziah king of Judah, that Rezin the king of
Syria, and Pekah the son of Remahah,
king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem
to war against it, but could not prevad
against it.
2 And it was told the house of David,
saying, Syria ^is confederate with E-
phraim: and his heart was moved, and
the heart of his people, as the trees of the
wood are moved with the wind.
3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go
forth now to meet Ahaz, thou and v Shear-
jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit
of the upper pool, in the ^ highway of the
fuller's field;
4 And say unto him. Take heed, and be
quiet; fear not, "neither be fainthearted
for the two tails of these smoking fire-
brands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with
Syria, and of the son of Remahah.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son
of Remahah, have taken evil counsel

the son of Tabeal :
7 Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not
stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 For the head of SjTia is Damascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and
within threescore and five years shall
Ephraim be broken, 7 that it be not a
people.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is Remahah's
son. ^If ye wiU not beheve, surely ye
shall not be established.
10 "Moreover, the Lord spake again
unto Aliaz, saying,
11 Ask thee a sign*^ of the Lord thy
God: Mask it either in the depth, or in
the height above.
12 But Ahaz said, I wiU not ask, nei-
ther wlU I tempt the Lord.
13 And he said. Hear ye now, O house of
David ; Is it a small thing for you to weary
men, but will ye weary my God also ?
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall
give you a sign: Behold,/ a vii'gin shall
conceive, and bear a son, andi' P shall caU
his name Immanuel.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that
he may know to refuse the evil, and
choose the good.
16 For before the child shall know to
refuse the evil, and choose the good, the
land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken
of both her kings.
17 The Lord shall bring upon thee,
and upon thy people, and upon thy fa-
ther's house, days that have not come,
from the day that Ephraim departed
from Judah ; even the king of AssjTria.
18 And it shall come to pass in that
day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly
that is in the uttermost part of the rivers
of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the
land of AssjTia :
19 And* they shall come, and shall rest
aU of them in the desolate valleys, and
in the holes of the rocks, and upon all
thorns, and upon all vbushes.
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave
with a razor that is hired, namely, by them
beyond the river, by the king of Assyria,
the head, and the hair of the feet : and it
shall also consume the beard.
21 And it shall come to pass, in that
day, that a man shall nourish a young
cow and two sheep :
22 And it shall come to pass for the
abundance of nulk that they shall give that
he shall eat butter : for butter and honey
shall every one eat that is left fin the land.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that every place shall be, where there were
a thousand vines at a thousand sdverlings,
it shall even be for briers and thorns.
24 With arrows and with bows shall
men come thither; because all the land
shall become briers and thorns.
25 And on all hiUs that shall be digged
with the mattock, there shall not come
thither the fear of briers and thorns : but
it shall be for the sending forth of oxen,
and for the treading of lesser cattle.
CHAPTER YIIL
Moreover the lord said imto me,
Take thee a great roU, and write in it

to record, Uriali" the priest, and Zcclia-
rialL the son of Jeberechiah.
3 And I ^ went unto the prophetess ;
and she conceived and bare a son. Then
said the Lord to me, Call his name
Maher-shalal-hash-baz :
4 For'' before the child shall have know-
ledge to cry, My father, and my mother,
the y riches of Damascus and the spou
of Samaria shall be taken away'' before
the king of Assyria.
5 The LoED spake also unto me again,
saying,
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the
wtiters of Shiloah« that go softly, and re-
joice in Eezin and Kemahah's son ;
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord
bringeth up upon them the waters of the
river, strong and many, evenf the king
of Assyria, and all his ^ glory : and he
shaU come up over all his channels, and
go over all his banks :
8 And he shall pass through Judah ; he
shaU overflow and go over ; he shall reach
even to the neck : and the " stretching out
of his wings shall fill* the breadth of thy
land, O Immanuel.
9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, ^ and
ye shall be broken' in pieces : and give ear,
all ye of far countries : gird yourselves, and
ye shall be broken in pieces ; gird your-
selves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, and it shaU
come to nought; speak the word, and it
shall not stand : for GrodP is with us.
11 For the Loed spake thus to me
"■ vdth a strong hand, and instructed me,
that I should not 3 walk in the way of
this people, saying,
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all
them to whom this people shall say, A
confederacy: neither'" fear ye their fear,
nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the Loed of hosts himself;
and let him* le your fear, and let him he
your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary;*
but for a stone of stumbling," and for a
rock of offence," to both the houses of
Israel; for a gm and for a snare to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stum-
ble, and fall, and be broken, and be
snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal '" the
law among* my disciples.
17 Andy I will wait upon the Loed,
that hideth^ his face from the house of
Jacob, and I wiU look for him.
18 Behold," I, and the children whom
the Loed hath given me, are for signs
and for wonders in Israel from the Loed
of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you.
Seek unto them that have familiar spirits,
and unto wizards that peep and that
mutter ; shotdd not a people seek unto
their Grod ? for the living to the dead ?
20 To* the law and to the testimony:
if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no ^ light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it
hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall
come to pass, that, when they shall be
hungry, they shaU fret* themselves, and
curse* their king and then* Grod, and look
upward.

burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod
of his oppressor, as in the days' of Midian.
5 For ^ every battle of the warrior is
with confused noise, and garments rolled
in blood; ^but this shall be with burn-
ing and M fuel of fii'e.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto' us
a son is given, and the government'*^ shall
be upon his shovdder ; and his name shall
be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The
mighty God,"' The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace."
7 Of the increase of his government
and peace tliere shall he no^* end, upon
the throne of David, and upon his king-
dom, to order it, and to estabhsh it with
judgment and with justice, from hence-
forth even for ever. The zeal of the
Loed of hosts will perform this.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob,
and it hath Ughted upon Israel.
9 And all the people shall know, even
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria,
that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we
will build with hewn stones : the syca-
mores are cut down, but we ^vill change
them into cedars.
11 Therefore the Loed shall set up the
adversaries of Eezin against him, and
P join his enemies together :
12 The Syrians before, and the Phili;3-
tines behind; and they shall devour Is-
rael with <^open mouth. For all this his
anger is not tiu:'ned away, but his hand
is stretched out stiU.
13 For the people turneth not unto him
that smiteth them, neither do they seek
the Loed of hosts.
14 Therefore the Loed wiU cut off
from Israel head and tail, branch and
rush, in one day.
15 The ancient and honourable, ho is
the head; and the prophet that teacheth
lies, he is the tail.
16 For 7" the leaders of this people cause
them to err; and they that are ^led of
them are X destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no
joy in their young men, neither shall have
mercy on then* fatherless and widows :
for every one is an hypocrite and an evil-
doer, and every mouth speaketh ^foUy.
For all this his anger is not tiirned aAvay,
but his hand is stretched out stiU.
18 For wickedness biu-neth<* as the fire :
it shaU devour the briers and thorns, and
shall kindle in the thickets of the forest:
and they shaU mount up like the hfting
up of smoke.
Condemnation of oppressors.
ISAIAH, X. Destructian of the king of Assyria.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of
hosts 13 the land darkened,* and the peo-
ple shall be as the ^fuel of the fire: no
man shall spare his brother. "^
20 And he shall y snatch on the right
hand, and be hungry; and he" shall eat
on the left hand, and they shall not be
satisfied: they shall eat every man the
fiesh of his own arm : , ^ , ,
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Epliraim,
Manasseh: and they together shall he
against Judah. For all this his anger is
not turned away, but his hand is stretched
out still.
^j CHAPTER X.
W OE 9 unto them that decree um-ight-
eous decrees, and 'Jthat write grievous-
ness ^ohich they hare prescribed ;
2 To turn aside the needy from judg-
ment, and to take away the right from
the poor of my people, that A\'idows may
be their prey, and that they may rob the
fatherless !
3 And what^ wiH ye do in the day of vi-
sitation, and in the desolation lohich shall
come from far? to whom will ye flee for
help ? and where wiU ye leave your glory ?
4 Without me they shall bow down under
the prisoners, and they shall fall under the
slain. For all this his anger is not turned
away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5^0 A^AssjTian, the rod^ of mine an-
ger, 'T and the staff in their hand is mine
indignation.
6 I will send him against an hypocriti-
cal nation, and against the people of my
wrath will I give him a charge, « to take the
spoil, and to take the prey, and to P tread
them down' like the mire of the streets.
7 Howbeit he" meaneth not so, neither
doth his heart tliink so; but it is in liis
heart to destroy and cut off nations not
a few.
8 For he saith, Are not my princes al-
together kings ?
9 Is not"* Calno* as Carchemishpy is
not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as
Damascus?'
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms
of the idols, and whose graven images did
excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria ;
11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Sa-
maria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem
and her idols ?
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass,
that, when the Lord hath performed his
whole work upon mount Zion and on
Jerusalem, I will ^punish'' the fruit of
the X stout heart of the king of Assyria,
and the glory of liis high*^ looks.
13 For he saith, By the strength of my
hand I have done it, and by my wisdom:
for I am prudent: and I have removed
the bounds of the people, and have robbed
their treasures, and I have put down the
inhabitants Uke V' a valiant man :
14 And my hand hath found, as a nest,
the riches of the people : and as one ga-
thereth eggs that are left, have I gathered
all the earth; and there was none that
moved the wing, or opened the mouth,
or peeped.
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him
that heweth therewith? or shall the saw
magnify itself against him that shaketh it ?
as if V the rod should shake itself against
them that lift it up, or as if the staff snould
lift up ^ itself as if it were no wood.

of hosts, send among his fat ones « lean-

a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for
a fire,** and his Holy One for a flame :
and it shall burn and devour his thorns
and his briers in one/ day ;
18 And shall consume the glory of his
forest, and of his fruitful field, ^ both soul
and body: and they shall be as when a
standardbearer fainteth.
19 And the rest of the trees of his
forest shall bo ffew, that a child may
write them.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the remnant of Israel, and such as
are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall
no more again stay upon him that smote
them:* but shall stay upon the* Loed,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant* shall retui-n, even the
remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty Grod.
22 For though thy people Israel be as
the sand of the sea, yet^ a remnant ^of
them shall return: the consumption" de-
creed shall overflow *« with righteousness.
23 For the Lord GrOD of hosts shall
make a consumption, even determined,
m the midst of all the land.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God
of hosts, O my i)eople that dweUest in
Zion, be not" afraid of the Assyi'ian: he
shall smite thee with a rod, "and shall
lift up his staff against thee, after the
manner of Egypt.
25 For yet a very httle while, and the
indignation'' shall cease, and mine anger
in their* destruction.
26 And the Loed of hosts shall stir up
a scourge for him, according to the slaugh-
ter of Midian" at the rock of Oreb : and
as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he
lift it up after the manner of Egypt.^
27 And it shall come to pass in that
day, that his burden shall o'be^ taken
away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke
from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be
destroyed because of the anointing."
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed
to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up
his carriages :
29 They are gone over the passage :
they have taken up their lodging at G-eba ;
Ramah* is afraid ; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 TLift up thy voice, O daughter of
GaUim ; cause it to be heard unto Laish,
O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabi-
tants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that
day: he shall shake his hand against the
mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill
of Jerusalem.
33 Behold, the Lord, the Loed of hosts,
shall lop the bough with terror : and the
high ones of stature shall he hewn down,
and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets
of the forest with iron, and Lebanon
shall fall P by a mighty one.
. CHAPTER XL
-A-ND « there shall come forth a rod out
of the stem/ of Jesse, and a Branch^' shall
grow out of his roots :
2 And the Spirit of the Loed shall rest
upon * him, the spirit of wisdom * and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might, the spirit of knowledge, and of
the fear of the Loed ;
Government of Messiah.
3 And shall make him of quick ^un-
derstanding in the fear of the Loed :
and he shall not judge after the sight of
his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing
of his ears :
4 But'' -with righteousness shall he judge
the poor, and ^ reprove with equitj' for the
meek of the earth : and he shall smite the
earth mth the rod* of his mouth, and
with the breath of his lips shall he slay
the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the gir-
dle^ of his loins, and faithfulness the
girdle of his reins.
6 The* wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the calf, and the
young Hon, and the fatling together ;
and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shaU feed ;
their young ones shall He down together:
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on
the hole of the asp, and the weaned child
shall put his hand on the ^ cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt* nor destroy in
all my holy mountain : for ' the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the
LoED. as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a™ root
of Jesse, which shaU stand for an ensign
of the people; to it shall the" Gentiles
seek : and Ms rest? shall be ^ glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that
day, that the Lord shall set his hand
again the second time to recover the
remnant of his people, which shall be
left, from 9 Assyria, and from Egypt, and
from Pathros, and from Cush, and from
Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath,
and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign* for
the nations, and shaU assemble the out-
casts* of Israel, and gather together the
dispersed" of Judah from the four '^cor-
ners of the earth.
13 The" envy also of Ephraim shaU de-
part, and the adversaries of Judah shaU
be cut off; Ephraim shaU not envy Ju-
dah, and Judah shaU not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shaU fly upon the shoul-
ders of the PhiUstines toward the west;
they shaU spoU Pthem of the east toge-
ther: •''they shaU lay their hand upon
Edom and Moab; and"* the chUdren of
Ammon ' shaU obey them.
15 And the Loed shaU utterly destroy the
tongue of the Egyptian sea ; and with his
mighty wind shall he shake his hand over
the river, and shaU smite it in the seven
streams, and make men go over <^ dryshod.
16 And there shaU be an highway for
the remnant of his people, wliich shaU
be leftj from Assyria; like as it was* to
Israel m the day that he came up out of
the land of Egypt.
. CHAPTER XII.

wast angry with me, thine anger is turn-
ed away, and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, Grod is my salvation ; I wiU
trust, and not be afraid: for* the Loed
JEHOVAH is my strength and my song ;
he also is become my salvation.

mountams, 6 like as of a great people;
a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of
nations gathered together: the Loed of
hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, jfrom
the end of heaven, even the Loed, and
the weapons of his indignation, to de-
stroy the whole land.
6 Howl ye; for the day" of the Loed
is at hand ; it shaU come as a destruction
from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shaU aU hands « be faint,
and every man's heart shaU melt :
8 And they shaU be afraid: pangs and
sorrows shall take hold of them ; they
shaU be in pain as a woman that tra-
vaUeth; they shaU A be amazed Mone

9 Behold, the day'' of the Loed cometh,
cruel both with wrath and fierce anger,
to lay the land desolate ; and he shall de-
stroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven, and the
constellations thereof, shall not give their
hght : the sim shaU be darkened in his
going forth, and the moon shaU not
cause her light to sliine.
11 And I wiU punish the world for
their evil, and the wicked for their ini-
quity; and I wiU cause the arrogancy of
the proud to cease, and wiU lay low the
haughtiness of the terrible,
12 I wUl make a man more precious
than fine gold; even a man than the
golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore* I wUl shake tlie heavens,
and the earthy shaU remove out of her
place, in the wrath of the Loed of hosts,
and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shaU be as the chased roe, and
as a sheep that no man taketh up: they
shaU every man turn to his own people,
and flee every one into liis own land,
15 Every one that is found shaU be
thrust through; and every one that is
joined unto them shaU faU by the sword.
16 Their cliUdren also shall be " dashed

shall be spoUed, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I wUl stu* up the'' Medes
against them, which shaU not regard

y opened not the house of his prisoners ?

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave
like an abominable branch, and as the
raiment of those that are slain, thrust
through with a sword, that go down to
the stones of the pit; as a carcase trod-

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them

of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his* children
for the iniquity of their fathers; that
they do not rise, nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith
the Loed of hosts, and cut off from Ba-
bylon the name, and remnant, and son,

23 I will also make it a possession for
the bittern, and pools of water; and I
will sweep it with the besom of destruc-

ing, Surely as I have thought, so shall it

so shall it stand :
25 That I will break the AssyTian in

him under foot: then' shall his yoke
depart from off them, and his burden
depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed,
upon the whole earth ; and this is the hand
that is stretched out upon aU the nations.
27 For** the Loed of hosts hath pur-
Eosed, and who shall disannul it ? and
is hand is stretched out, and who shall
turn it back ?

4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee,

pressors are consumed out of the land.
5 And in mercy shall the throne be

truth in the tabernacle of David," judg-
ing and seeking judgment, and hasting
righteousness.
6 We have heard of the pride " of Moab ;
he is very proud : even of liis haughtiness,
and his pride, and his wrath : hit his lies
shall not he so.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab ;
every one shall howl : for the foundations
of Kir-hareseth' shall ye ^ mourn; surely
they are stricken.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and the vine of Sibmah : the lords of the
heathen have broken down the principal
Slants thereof, they are come even unto
azer, they wandered throtigh the wilder-
ness ; her branches are ^ stretched out,
they are gone over the sea.
9 Therefore* I will bewail with the weep-
ing of Jazer the vine of Sibmah : I will
water thee with my tears,_0 Heshbon, and

mer fruits, and for thy harvest is fallen.
10 And" gladness is taken away, and joy
out of the plentiful field ; and in the vine-
yards there shall be no singing, neither
shall there be shouting : the treaders shall
tread out no wine in their presses ; I have
made their vintage shouting to cease.

Damascus'^ is taken away from being a
city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken ; they
shall be for flocks, which shall He do^vn,
and none« shall make them afraid.
3 The fortress also shall cease from
Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damas-
cus, and the remnant of Syria : they shall
be as the glory of the children of Israel,
saith the Lord of hosts.
4 And in that day it shall come to pass,
that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin,
and/ the fatness of his flesh shall wax
lean.
5 And* it shall be as when the harvest-
man gathereth the corn, and reapeth the
ears with his arm ; and it shall be as he that
gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in
it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or

bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful

7 At that day shall a man look' to his
Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to

8 And he shall not look to the altars,
the work of his hands, neither shall re-
spect that which his fingers have made,
either the groves or the P images.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be
as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost
branch, which they left, because of the
children of Israel : and there shall be
desolation.
10 Because^ thou hast forgotten the
God of thy salvation, and hast not been
mindful of the Rock of thy strength,
therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants,
and shalt set it with strange slips :
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant
to grow, and in the morning shalt thou
make thy seed to flourish ; but the harvest
shall^ be ^Sb heap in the day of grief and
of de^rate sorrow.
12 Woe to the X multitude of many
people, which make a noise like the noise
of the seas ; and to the rushing of na-
tions, that make a rushing like the rush-
ing of" ^ mighty waters !
13 The nations shall rush like the rush-
ing of many waters: but* Qod shall re-
biJie them, and they shall flee far off,
and shall be chased as the chaff of the
mountains before the wind, and like ^a
rolling thing before the whirlwind,
14 And, behold, at eveniugtide trouble ;
and before the morning he is not. This
is the portion of them" that spoil us, and
the lot of them that rob us.

3 All yo inhabitants of the world, and
dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he
lifteth up an ensign « on the mountains;
and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4 For so the Loed said unto me, I will
take my rest, and I will ^ consider in my
dwelling place like a clear heat ^upon
herbs, and hke a cloud of dew in the heat
of harvest. ^ , , , .
5 For afore the harvest, wnen the bud is
perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in
the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs
with pruning hooks, and take away and
cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the
fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts
of the earth : and the fowls shall summer
upon them, and all the beasts of the earth
shall winter upon them.
7 In that time shall the present/ be
brought unto the Loed of hosts of a people
« scattered and peeled, and from a people
terrible from their beginning hitherto ; a
nation meted out and trodden under foot,
whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the

The burden of Egypt.' Behold, the
Loed rideth^ upon a swift cloud, and shall
come into Egypt ; and the idols'" of Egypt
shaU be moved at his presence, and the
heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will ^ set the Egyptians against
the Egj^tians : and they shaU fight every
one agamst his brother, and every 9ne
against his neighbour; city against city,
and kingdom agamst kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall ■^ faH" in
the midst thereof ; and I wUl P destroy the
counsel thereof; and they shall seek^ to
the idols, and to the charmers, and to
them that have familiar spirits, and to the
wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I o-give over
into the hand of a cruel lord ■/ and a fierce
king shaU rule over them, saith the Lord,
the Loed of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea,
and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 And they shall turn the rivers far
away, and the brooks " of defence shall be
emptied and dried up : the reeds and flags
shall wither.
7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the
mouth of the brooks, and every thing
sown by the brooks, shall wither, be
driven away, and '^ be no more.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all
they that east angle into the brooks shall
lament, and they that spread nets upon
the waters shall languish.
9 Moreover they that work in fine'" flax,
and they that weave X networks, shall be
confounded.
10 And they shaU be broken in the
V* purposes thereof, all that make sluices
and ponds ^ for fisn.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan* are

13 The princes of Zoan are become
fools, « the princes of Noph* are deceived ;
they have also seduced Egypt, even tlietj
that are ^ the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 The*^ Lord hath mingled a C perverse
spirit in the midst thereof: and they have
caused Egypt to err in every work thereof,
as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for
Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or
rush, may do.
16 In that day shall EgjT)t be hke«
unto women; and it shall be afraid and
fear, because of the shaking of the hand
of the Loed of hosts, which he shaketh
over it.
17 And the land of Judah shall be a
terror unto Egypt : every one that maketh
mention thereof shall be afraid in himself,
because of the counsel of the Loed of
hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the
land of Egypt speak the '^languages' of
Canaan, and swear to the Loed of hosts :
one shall be called, The city of /* de-
struction.
19 In that day shall there be an altar
to the Loed in the midst of the land of
Egj-pt, and a pfllar* at the border thereof
to the Loed.
20 And it shaU be for a sign * and for
a witness unto the Loed of hosts in the
land of Egj-pt : for they shaU cry imto the
Loed because of the oppressors, and he
shall send them a saviour, and a great
one, and he shall deliver tbem.
21 And the Loed shaU be known to
Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the
Loed in that day, and shall do" sacrifice
and oblation ; yea, they shaU vow a vow
unto the Loed, and perform it.
22 And the Loed shaU smite Egypt ;
he shaU smite and heal it : and they shaU
return even to the Loed, and he shaU be
entreated of them, and shaU heal them.
23 In that day shaU there be a' highway
out of Egypt to Assyria ; and the Assy-
rian shaU come into Egypt, and the Egyp-
tian into Assyria; and^ the Egyptians
shaU serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shaU Israel be the third
with Egypt and with AssjTia, even a bless-
ing in the midst of the land ;
25 Whom the Loed of hosts shaU bless,
saying. Blessed he Egypt my people,* and
Assyria the W9rk« of my hands, and Is-
rael mine inheritance.

XN the year* that Tartan came imto
Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assy-
ria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod
and took it ;
2 At the same time spake the Loed
^by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Gro
and loose the sackcloth from ofi" thy loins,
and put ofi" thy shoe from thy foot. And
he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 And the Loed said. Like as my ser-
vant Isaiah hath walked naked and bare-
foot three years for a sign and wonder
upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia ;
4 So shaU the king of Assyria lead away
the v Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethio-
pians captives, young ana old, naked and
barefoot, even with their buttocks un-
covered, to the 5 shame of EgjT)t.
5 And they shaU be afraid and ashamed
of Ethioi)ia their expectation, and of
Egypt their glory.

2 A ^grievous vision is declared unto
me; the treacherous dealer* dealeth trea-
cherousl}'-, and the spoiler spoUeth. Go*'
up, O Elam: besiege, O Media: all the
sighing thereof have I made to cease.
3 Therefore^ are my loins filled with
pain ; pangs have taken hold upon me,
as the pangs of a woman that travaileth :
I was bowed down at the hearing of it ;
I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 ^My heart panted, fearfulness af-
frighted me : the night ' of my pleasure
hath he /* turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watch-
tower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and
anoint the shield.
6 For thus hath the Lord said imto
me, Q-o, set a watchman, let him declare
what he seeth.
7 And he saw a chariot witJi a couple
of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a
chariot of camels ; and he hearkened
diligently with much heed :
8 And he cried, »' A lion : My lord, I
stand continually upon the watchtower
in" the daytime, and I am set in my
ward '^ whole nights ;
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of
men, with a couple of horsemen. And he
answered and said, Babylon^ is fallen, is
fallen ; and*" all the graven images of her
gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing, and the Pcorn of
my floor : that which I have heard of the
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I
declared* unto you.

14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema
X brought water to him that was thirsty,
they prevented with their bread him that
fled.
15 For" they fled .^from the swords,
from the di'awn sword, and from the
bent bow, and from the grievousness of
war.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto
me, Within a year, according to the
years of an hireling,"' and all the glory
of Kedar' shall fail :
17 And the residue of the number of
y archers, the mighty men of the children
of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the

JLHE burden of Tyre.'' Howl, ye ships
of Tarshish ; for it is laid waste, so that
there is no house, no entering in : from the
land of Chittim'^ it is revealed to them.
2 Be ^ still, ye inhabitants of the isle ;
thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that
pass over the sea, have replenished.
3 And by great waters the seed of SOior,
the harvest of the river, is her revenue ;
and she is a mart of nations.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon ; for the
sea hath spoken, even the strength of the
sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth
children, neither do I nourish up young
men, nor bring up virgins.
5 As at the reports' concerning Egypt,
so shall they be sorely pained at the re-
port of Tyre. ^ , . ,
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye
inhabitants of the isle.
7 Is this your joyous city, whose anti-
quity is of ancient days? her own feet
shall carry her «■ afar off to sojourn.
8 Who hath taken this counsel against
Tyre, the crowning city, whose mer-
chants are princes, whose traffickers are
the honourable of the earth ?
9 The LOED of hosts hath purposed it, to
^stain the pride of all glory, and to bring ' into
contempt all the honourable of the earth.
10 Pass through thy land as a river,
O daughter of Tarshish : there is no more
I"- strength.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea ;
he shook the kingdoms : the Lord hath given
a commandment " against "^ the merchant
city, to destroy the P strong holds thereof.
12 And he said, Thou shaltno^ more
rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daugh-
ter of Zidon ; arise, pass over to Chit-
tim ;'■ there also shalt thou have no rest.
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans : tliis
people was not till the Assyrian founded it
for them" that dwell in the wUderness : they
set up the towers thereof, they raised up the
palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish : for
your strength is laid waste,
15 And it shaR come to pass in that
day, that Tyve shall be forgotten seventy
years, according to the days of one king :
after the end of seventy years X shall
Tyre sing as an harlot.
16 Take an harp, go about the city,
thou harlot that hast^ been forgotten:
make sweet melody, sing many songs,
that thou mayest be remembered.
17 And it shall come to pass, after the
end of seventy years, that the Lord will
visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire,
and* shall commit fornication with all
the kingdoms of the world upon the face
of the earth.

JlSEHOLD, the Lord maketh the earth
empty ; and maketh it waste, and ^ turn-
eth it upside down, and scattereth abroad
the inhabitants thereof.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so
with" the_ Spriest; as* with the servant,
so with his master ; as with the maid, so
with her mistress ; as with the buyer, so
with the seller ; as with the lender, so
with the borrower ; as Avith the taker of
usury, so with the giver of usury to liim.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied,
and utterly spoiled : for the Lord hath
spoken this word.
4 The earth mourneth, and fadeth away ;
the world languisheth, and fadeth away; the
^ haughty people of the earth do languish,
5 The earth also is defiled under the
inhabitants thereof, because « they have
transgressed the laws, changed the ordi-
nance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore/ hath the curse devoured
the earth, and they that dwell therein are
desolate : therefore the inhabitants of the
earth are burned,* and few men left.
7 The new* wine mourneth, the vine lan-
guisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
8 The mirth* of tabrets ceaseth, the
noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy
of the harp ceaseth.
9 They shall not drink wine with a
song ; strong drink shall be bitter to
them that drink it.
10 The city of confasion is broken
down: every house is shut up, that no
man may come in. ^
11 There is a crying for wine in the
streets ; all joy is darkened, the mirth
of the land is gone.
12 In"* the city is left desolation, and
the gate" is smitten with destruction.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of
the land among the people, there shall he"
as the shaking of an oUve tree, and as the
gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
14 They 9 shall lift up their voice, they
shall sing for the majesty of the Lord,
they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15 Wherefore glorify* ye the Lord in
the <^ fires, even the name of the Lord
God of Israel in the isles* of the sea.
16 From the "^uttermost part of the
earth have we heard songs, even glory to
the righteous. But I said, ^ My leanness,
my leanness, woe imto me! the treacher-
ous dealers have dealt treacherously;"
yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt
very treacherously.
17 Fear,"' and the pit, and the snare,
are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Add it shall come to pass, that he
who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall
fall into the pit ; and he that cometh up
out of the midst of the pit shall be taken
in the snare : for the* windows from on
high are open, and the foundations y of
the earth do shake.
19 The earth* is utterly broken doAvu,
the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is
moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel* to and fro hke
a drunkard, and shall be removed « like
a cottage; and the transgression thereof
shall be heavy* upon it ; and it shall fall,
and not rise again.

21 And it shall come to pass iu that day,
that the Loed shall /^ punish the host of
the high ones that are on liigh, and the
kings* of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together
y as prisoner's are gathered in the ^pit^
and shall be shut up in the prison, and

^ CHAPTER XXV.
U LOED, thou art my God ; I will> ex-
alt thee, I will praise thy name : for thou
hast done wonderful things ; thy counsels
of old are faithfulness"* and truth.
2 For thou hast made of a city an heap ;
o/a defenced city a ruin :" a palace of stran-
gers to be no city ; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shaU the strong people glo-
rify »■ thee, the city of the terrible nations
shall fear thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength to the
poor, a strength to the needy in his dis-
tress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow
from the heat, when the blast of the terri-
ble ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of
strangers, as the heat in a dry place : even
the heat with the shadow of a cloud : the
branch of the terrible ones shall be
brought low.
6 And in this mountain'" shall the Lord
of hosts make unto all people a feast* of
fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of
fat things fuU of marrow, of wines ^ on
the lees well refined.
7 And he will ^ destroy in this mountain
the face of the covering f* cast over all peo-
ple, and the vail" that is spread over all
nations.
8 He will * swallow up death in victory;
and the Lord GrOD will wipe ''away tears
from off all faces; and the rebuke of his
people shall he take away*^ from off all
the earth : for the Loed hath spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo,
this is our Grod ; we have waited* for him,
and he will save us: this is the Loed:
we have waited for him, we will be glad
and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For in this mountain shall the hand
of the Loed rest, and Moab shall be
'^trodden down under him, even as straw
is P trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands
in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth
spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and
he shall bring down their pride together
with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of
thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and
bring to the ground, even to the dust,

XN" that day shall this song be sung in
the land of Judah: We have a strong*
city ; salvation will Ood appoint for
walls ' and bulwarks.
2 Open^ ye the gates, that the righteous
nation which keepeth the ^ truth may
enter in.
3 Thou wilt keep him in X perfect

9 WTiom* shall he teach knowledge?
and whom shall he make to imderstand
■y doctrine? them that are weaned from
the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept ^must he upon precept,
Erecept upon precept ; line upon Kne,
ne upon line ; here a little, and there a
little.
11 Eor with ^ stammering lips, and an-
other tongue, ^Avill he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said. This is the rest
xoherewith ye may cause the weary to
rest ; and this is the refreshing : yet they
would not hear.
13 But 0 the word of the Loed was unto
them precept upon precept, precept upon
precept; line upon line, hue upon line;
here a little, and there a little ; that' they •
might go, and fall backward, and be
broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the
Loed, ye scornful men, that rule this
which is in Jerusalem :
15 Because ye have said. We have made
a covenant with death, and with hell are
we at agreement; when the overflowing
scourge shall pass through, it shall not
come* unto us : for we have made lies
our refuge, and under falsehood have we
hid ourselves.
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GrOD,
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a
stone,"' a tried stone, a precious corner
stone., a sure foundation: he" that believ-
eth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line,
and righteousness to the plunamet; and
the hail shall sweep away the refuge of
Kes, and the waters shaU overflow the
hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall
be disannulled, and your agreement with
hell shall not stand; when the overflow-
ing scourge shall pass through, then ye
shall be ^ trodden down' by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it
shall take you : for morning by morning
shall it pass over, by day and by night:
and it shall be a vexation only "^to un-
derstand the report.
20 For the bed is shorter than that a
man can stretch himself on it; and the
covering narrower than that he can wrap
himself in it.
21 For the Loed shall rise up as» in
moxmt Perazim, he shall be wi*oth as' in
the valley of Gribeon, that he may do his
work, his strange" work; and bring to
pass nis act, his strange act.
22 Now, therefore, be ye not mockers,
lest your bands be made strong: for I
have heard from the Lord Grop of hosts
a consumption,*" even determined upon
the whole earth.
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice;
hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Doth the plowman plow aU day to
sow? doth he open and break the clods
of his ground ?
25 When he hath made plain the face
thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitch-
es, and scatter the cummin, and cast in
^the principal wheat, and the appointed
barley, and tne X rye, in their ^ place ?_
26 ^For his God doth instruct him to
discretion, and doth teach him.
27 For the fitches are not threshed with
Accusations against Judali.

a tliresliing instrument, neitlier is a cart
wheel turned about upon the cummin;
but the fitches are beaten out with a staft;
and the cummin with a rod.
23 Bread corn is bruised; because he
will not ever be threshing it, nor break it
loith the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it
xoith his horsemen.
29 This also cometh forth from the
LOED of hosts, which is wonderful"^ in
counsel, and excellent in working.

WOE/3 to Ariel, to Ariel, 7 the city
xoheref David dwelt! add ye year to
year ; let them ^ kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I "satU distress Ai-iel, and there
shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it
shall be unto me as Ariel.
3 And I wUl camp agamst thee round
about, and wiU lay siege* against thee
with a mount, and I will raise forts
agamst thee. , , , , ■,,,-,
4 And thou shalt be brought' down,
and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy
speech shall be low out of the dust, and
thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a
famihar spirit, out of the ground, and thy
Bpeech shall ^ whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of thy stran-
gers shall be hke small dust, and the
multitude of the terrible ones shall he as
chafi""" that passeth away : yea, it shall be
at an instant* suddenly.
6 Thou* shalt be visited of the Lord
of hosts with thunder, and with earth-
quake, and great noise, with storm and
tempest, and the flame of devourmg fire.
7 And the multitude of aU the nations
that fight against Ariel, even aU" that
fight against her and her munition, and
that distress her, shall be as a dream* oi
a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when an hungry
man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth ; but
he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as
when a thirsty man dreameth, and, be-
hold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and,
behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appe-
tite : so shall the multitude of all the na-
tions be that fight against mount Zion.
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; ''cry
ye out, and cry: they are drunken, « but
not vdth wine; they stagger, but not
with strong drmk.
10 For"* the Loed hath poured out
upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and
hath closed your eyes : the prophets and
your ^ rulers, the seers/ hath he covered.
11 And the vision of all is become un-
to you as the words of a M-book that is
sealed,^ which onen dehver to one that is
learned, saymg. Read this, I pray thee:
and he saith, I cannot ; for it is sealed : ^
12 And the book is delivered to him
that is not learned, saying, Read this, 1
pray thee : and he saith, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the Lord said. Foras-
much as this people draw near me with
their mouth,' and with their hps do ho-
nom- me, but have removed their heart
far from me, and their fear toward me is
taught by the precept of men :\
14 Therefore, behold, I wiU 'r proceed
to do a marvellous'" work among this
people, even a marvelloua work and a
wonder : for" the wisdom of their wise
men shall perish, and the understandmg
of their prudent men shall be hid.

ter's clay : for shall '^ the work say of him
that made it. He made me not? or shall
the thing framed say of liini that framed

17 Is it not yet a very little while, and
Lebanon shall be turned « into a fruitful
field, and the fruitful field shall be es-
teemed as a forest ?
18 And«' in that day shall the deaf
hear the words of the book, and the eyes
of the bHnd shall see out of obscurity,
and out of darkness.
19 The meek* also shall ^increase their
joy in the Loed, and the poor' among men
shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to
nought,"* and the scorner is consumed, and
aU that watch" for iniquity are cut ofi":
21 That make a man an ofiender for a
word, and lay" a snare for him that re-
proveth in the gate, and turn aside the
just for a thing of nought.
22 Therefore thus saith the Loed,p
who redeemed Abraham, concerning the
house of Jacob, Jacob shall nota now
be ashamed, neither shall his face now
wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the
work" of mine hands, in the midst of
him, they shall sanctify my name, and
sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and
shall fear the Grod of Israel.
24 They"* also that erred in spirit shall
^come to understanding, and they that
murmured shall learn doctrine.

3 Therefore shall the strength of Pha-
raoh be your shame, and the trust in the
shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and
his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were aU ashamed' of a people that
could not profit them, nor be an help nor

11 Get you out of the 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 Israel, Because ye despise this word,
and trust" in v oppression and perverse-
ness, and stay thereon : _ , „ , ^
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to
you as a breach^' ready to fall, swelling
out in a high waU, whose breaking com-
eth suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shaU break* it as the break-
ing of the V potters' vessel that is broken
in pieces ; he shall not spare : so that
there shall not be found in the bursting
of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth,
or to take water loithal out of the pit.
15 Tor thus saith the Lord GrOD, 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 But ye said, No; for we will flee
upon horses ; therefore shaU ye flee : and.
We will ride upon the swift; therefore
shall they that pursue''' you be swift.
17 One thousand"' shall fi,ee 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 an hill.
18 And therefore wiU the Loed° waitj.
that he may be gracious imto you, and
therefore wiU he be exalted, that he may
have mercy upon you ; for the Lord is
a God of judgment : blessed ^ are aU they
that wait for him. .
19 For the people shall dwell? in Zion
at Jerusalem ; thou shalt weep no more :
he will be very gracious unto thee at the
voice of thy cry ; when* he shall hear it,
he will answer thee.
20 And though* the Lord give you the
bread of adversity, and the water of
Pafiliction, yet shaU not thy teachers be
removed" into a corner any more, but
thine eves shall see thy teachers :
21 And thine ears shall hear a word
beliind thee, saying, This" is the ^yay,
walk ye iu it, when ye turn to the right
hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22 Ye shall defile also the covering of
o"tlay graven images of silver, and the
ornament of thy molten images of gold :
thou shalt T cast them away as a menstru-
ous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get
23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed,
that thou shalt sow the ground withal:
and bread of the increase of the earth, and
it shall be fat and plenteous : in that day
shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24 The oxen likewise, and the young
asses that ear the ground, shall eat X clean
provender, which hath been winnowed
with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high
mountain, and upon every ^ ^ high hill,
rivers and streams of waters in the day of
the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

shall be as the light of the sun, and the

JlSEHOLD, a king sliall reign in right-

ment.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding
place from the wind, and a covert* from
the tempest ; as rivers'' of water in a dry
place ; as the shadow of a P great rock in
a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shaU
not be dim : and the ears of them that
hear shall hearken.
4 The heart also of the Vrash shall Uii-
derstand knowledge, and the tongue of
the stammerers shall be ready to speak
S plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called
liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will^ speak vil-
lany, and his heart wiU work iniquity,
to practise hji)Ocrisy, and to utter error
agamst the Lord, to make empty the
soul of the hungry, and he will cause
the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are
evil: he deviseth wicked devices to de-
stroy the poor with lyin^ words, even
when « the needy speaketh right.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things ;
and by liberal things shall he ^ stand.
9 Kise up, ye women that are at ease;'
hear my voice, ye careless daughters ;
give ear unto my speech.
10 Many ^days and years shall ye be
troubled, ye careless women : ^ for the
vintage shaU fail, the gathering shall
not come.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease ;
be troubled, ye careless ones : strip you,
and make you bare, and gird sackcloth
upon your loins.
12 They shall lament for the teats, for
the pleasant ^ fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shaU
come up thorns' and briers, '^yea, upon
all the houses of joy in the joyous city :
14 Because the palaces shall be for-
saken ; the multitude of the city shall be
left ; the <^ forts and towers shall be for
dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pas-
ture of flocks ;
15 Until the Spirit ^ be P9m'ed upon us
from on high, and the wilderness be a
fruitful field, audi' the fruitful field be
counted for a forest.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the
wilderness, and righteousness remain in
the fruitful field.
17 Ajid the work of righteousness shall
be peaee;*" and the effect of righteous-
ness, quietness and assurance for ever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a
peaceable" habitation, and in sure dwell-
ings, and in quiet resting places,
19 When it shall hail,* coming down
on the forest; and the city shaU be ^low
in a low place.

of the ox and the ass.

OOME* near, ye nations, to hear; and

and ^ all that is therein : the world, and
all things that come forth of it.
2 For* the indignation of the Lord
is upon aU nations, and his fury upon
all their armies : he hath utterly de-
stroyed them, he hath delivered them to
the slaughter.
3 Their slain also shall be cast out,
and their stink shall come up out oi
their carcases, and the mountains shall
be melted with their blood.
4 And' aU the host of heaven shall be
dissolved, and the heavens shall be roUed
together as a scroll : and all their host shall
fall down, as the leaf faUeth off from the
vine, and as a falling^^' from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall be bathed in
heaven : behold, it shall come down
upon Idumea,p and upon the people of
my curse, to judgment.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with
blood; it is made fat with fatness, and
with the blood of lambs and goats, with
the fat of the kidneys of rams : for the
Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah,*" and a
great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7 And the ^unicorns shall come down
with them, and the bullocks with the bulls ;
and their land shall be ^ soaked with blood,
and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 For it is the day* of the Lord's ven-
geance, and the year of recompences for
the controversy" of Zion.
9 And"" the streams thereof shaU be
tmmed into pitch, and the dust thereof
into brimstone, and the land thereof shall
become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night nor
day; the smoke* thereof shall go up for
ever: from generation to generation it
shall lie waste ; none shall pass through
it for ever and ever :
11 But the " cormorant '^ and the bit-
tern shall possess it ; the owl also and
the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall
stretch out upon it the line* of confusion,
and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to
the kingdom, but none shall he there, and
all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall come up in her
palaces, nettles and brambles in the for-
tresses thereof ; and it shall be an habita-
tion of dragons, and a court for ^ owls.
14 The /*wild beasts of the desert shaU
also meet with '^ the wild beasts of the is-
land, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow ;
the p screech owl also shall rest there,
and find for herself a place of rest.
15 There shall the great owl make her
nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under
her shadow; there shall the vultures also
be gathered, every one with her mate.
16 Seek/ ye out of the book of the
Lord, and read; no ones' of these shall
fail, none shall want her mate : for my
mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit
it hath gathered them.

21 For Isaiah had said. Let them take
a luanp of figs, and lay it for a plaister
upon the boil and he shall recover.
22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the
sign that I shall go up to the house" of
the LoED ?
. CHAPTER XXXIX.
il.T*' that time Merodach-baladan, the
son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent let-
ters and a present to Hezekiah : for he
had heard that he had been sick, and was
recovered.
2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and
shewed them the house of his ^precious
things, the silver, and the gold, and the
spices, and the precious ointment, and all
the house of his ^armour, and all that
was found in his treasures : there was no-
thing in his house, nor in all his dominion,
that Hezekiah shewed them not.
3 Then came Isaiah the proi)het unto
king Hezekiah, and said unto him. What
said these men? and from whence came
they unto thee? And Hezekiah said,
They are come from a far country unto
me, even from Babylon.
4 Then said he, What have they seen
in thine house ? And Hezekiah answered.
All tliat is in mine house have they seen :
there is nothing among my treasures-^
that I have not shewed them.
5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear
the word of the Loed of hosts :
6 Behold, the daysi/ come, that all that
is in thine house, and that which thy
fathers have laid up in store until this
day, shall be carried* to Babylon: no-
thing shall be left, saith the Loed.
7 And of thy sons that shall issue from
thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they
take away; and" they shall be eunuchs
in the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Grood °
is the word of the Loed which thou hast
spoken. He said moreover, For there shall
be peace and truth in my days.

2 Speak ye P comfortably to Jerusalem,

Loed's hand double* for all her sins.
3 The voice" of him that crieth in the
wilderness, Prepare" ye the way of the
Loed, make straight in the desert a high-
way for our Grod.
4 Every vaUey shall be exalted, and

low: and the crooked* shall be made
^ straight, and the rough places X plain :
5 And the glory of the Loed shall be re-
vealed, and all flesh shall see it together:
for the mouth of the Loed hath spoken it.
6 The voice said. Cry. And he said,
What shall I cry? AU flesh* is grass,
and all the goodliness thereof is as the
flower of the field :
7 The grass withereth, the flOwer fadeth :
because the spirit of the Loed bloweth

ning workman to prepare a graven image,

17 When the poor and needy seek water,
and there is none, a}id their tongue faileth
for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I
the Grod of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will open rivers'^ in high places,
and fountains in the midst of the valleys :
I will make the Avilderness « a pool of wa-
ter, and the dry land springs of Avater.
19 If' will plant in the wilderness the
cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle,
and the oil tree ; I will set in the desert
the fir tree, and the pine, and the box
tree together ;
20 That they may see, and know, and
consider, aud understand together, that
the hand of the Lord hath done this, and
the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 5 Produce your cause, saith the Lord :
bring forth your strong reasons^ saith the
King of Jacob.
22 Let them" bring them forth, and shew
us what shall happen: let them shew the
former things what they he, that we may
^consider them, and know the latter end
of them : or declare us things for to come.
23 Shew the things that are to come
hereafter, that we may know that ye are
gods : yea, do good, or do evil, that we
may be dismayed, and behold it together.
24 Behold, ye are ^ of nothing, and
your work '« of nought : an abomination
w he that chooseth you.
25 l9 have raised up one from the north,
and he shall come : from the rising of the
sun shall he call upon my name; and he
shall come upon princes as upon mortar,
and as the potter treadeth clay.
26 Who hath declared from the begin-
ning, that we may know? and before-
time, that we may say, JEe is righteous ?
yea, there is none that sheweth; yea,
there is none that declareth ; yea, there
is none that heareth your words.
27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold,
behold them : and I will give to Jerusa-
lem one" that bringeth good* tidings.
28 For I beheld, and there tvas no man ;
even among them, and there tvas no coun-
sellor, that, when I asked of them, could
P answer a word.
29 Behold, they are all vanity ; their
works are nothing: their molten images
are wind and confusion.
-p CHAPTER XLII.
xSEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold,
mine elect," in whom my soul delight-
eth:* I have put my spirit upon him; he
shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor
cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and
the X smoking flax shall he not "A quench :

4 He shall not fail nor be ^ discouraged,

5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that
created the heavens, and stretched them
out ; he that spread forth the earth, and
that which cometh out of it ; he that giv-
eth breath unto the people upon it, and
spirit to them that walk therein ;

8 I am the LoED ; " that is my name :
and « my glory will I not give to another,
neither my praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things are come
to pass, and new things do I declare ; be-
fore ^ they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the Lord a new' song,
and his praise from the end of the earth,
ye that go down to the sea, and P all that
is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants
thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities
thereof lift up their voice, the villages that
Kedar doth inhabit : let the inhabitants
of the rock sing, let them shout from the.
top of the mountains.
12 Let ' them give glory unto the Loed,
and declare his praise in the islands.
13 The Loed shall go forth as a mighty
man, he shall stir up jealousy like a " man
of war : he shall cry, yea, roar ; he shall
5 prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace ;
I have been stiU, and refrained myself:
now 9 will I cry like a travaihng woman ;
I will destroy and ^devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains'" and
hills, and dry up all their herbs ; and I
will make the rivers islands, and I will
dry up the pools.
16 Ajxd* I will bring the blind' by a
way that they knew not ; I will lead them
in paths «' that they have not known: I
will make darkness light before them, and
crooked things ^straight. These things
will I do^ unto them, and not* forsake
them.
17 They* shall be turned back, they
shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in
graven images, that say to the molten
images. Ye are our gods.
18 Hear," ye deaf; and look, ye'' blind,
that ye may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or
deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who
is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as
the Loed's servant ?
20 Seeing many things, but thou ob-
servest not; opening the ears, but he
heareth not.
21 The Loed is well pleased for/ his
righteousness' sake ; he will magnify i' the
law, and make i^ it honourable.
22 But this is a people robbed and'
spoiled ; " thei/ are all of them snared in
holes, and they are hid in prison houses ;
they are for a prey, and none delivereth;
for a '^ spoil, and none saith. Restore.
23 Who among you will give ear to
tins ? who will hearken, and hear for P the
time to come ?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Is-
rael to the robbers? did not the Loed,
he* against whom we have sinned? for
they would not walk in his ways, neither
were they obedient unto his law.
25 Therefore he hath poured upon him
the fury of his anger, and the strength of
battle : and it hath set him on fire ^ round
about, yet " he knew not ; and it burned
him, yet he laid it not to heart.

be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal:
uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, un-

3 Thy nakedness shall be^ uncovered,
yea, thy shame shall be seen : I will

5 Sit thou silenjb, and get thee into

lady of kingdoms.
6 I^ was wroth with my people ; I have
polluted mine inheritance, and given them
into thine hand: thou"* didst shew them
no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou
very heavily laid thy yoke.
7 And thou saidst, I" shall be a lady
for ever: so that thou didst not lay these
things to thy heart, neither didst remem-
ber the latter end of it.
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that
art given to pleasures, that 9 dweUest
carelessly ; that sayest in thine heart, I
am, and none_ else beside me ; I shall
not sit as a widow, neither shall I know
the loss of children :
9 But these two things shall come to
thee in a moment in one day, the loss
of children, and widowhood: they shall
come upon thee in their perfection for
the multitude of thy sorceries, and for
the great abundance of thine enchant-
ments.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wicked-
ness : y _ thou hast said, None seeth * me.
Thy wisdom and thy knowledge it hath
S perverted thee: and thou hast said in
thine heart, I am^ and none else beside
me.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon
thee ; thou shalt not know v from whence
it riseth: and mischief shaU faU upon
thee; thou shalt not be able to ^put it
off: and desolation shall come upon thee
suddenly,/ tohich thou shalt not know.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments,
and with the multitude of thy sorceries,
wherein ^ thou hast laboured from tliy
youth; if so be thou shalt be able to
profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13 Thou art wearied* in the multitude
of thy counsels. Let now the <« astrolo-
gers,* the stargazers, ^the monthly prog-
nosticators, stand up and save thee from
these things that shall come upon thee.
14 Behold, they shall be as' stubble;
the fire shall burn them ; they shall not
deliver /^themselves from the power of
the flame : there shall not he a coal to
warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with
whom thou hast laboured, even thy
merchants, from thy youth: they shall
wander every one to his quarter ; ^ none
shall save thee.

and are come forth out of the waters" of
Judah; which swear by the name of the
Loed, and make mention of the God of
Israel, hut not'' in truth, nor in right-
eousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holy
city,/ and stay«' themselves upon the Grod
of Israel ; The Loed of hosts is his name.
3 I have declared the former things from
the beginning ; and they went forth out of
my mouth, and I shewed them ; I did them
suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that thou art ^ob-
stinate, and thy neck' is an iron sinew,
and thy brow brass ;
5 I have even from the beginning de-
clared it to thee ; before it came to pass
I shewed it thee : lest thou shouldest
say, Mine idol hath done them; and my
graven image, and my molten image,
hath commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard, see all this ; and will
not ye declare itl I have shewed thee
new things from this time, even hidden
things," and thou didst not know them.
7 They are created now, and not from
the beginning; even before the day when
thou heardest them not ; lest thou should-
est say, Behold, I knew them.
8 Yea, thou heardest not ; yea, thou knew-
est not; yea, from that time that thine
ear was not opened : for I knew^ that thou
wouldest deal very treacherously, »* and
wast called a transgressor from the* womb.
9 For * my name's sake wiJl I defer mine
anger, and for my praise will I refrain for
thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have refined" thee, but
not 7 with silver; I have chosen thee in
the furnace" of afiliction.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine
own sake, will I do it: for'* how should
my name be polluted? and* I will not
give my glory unto another.
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Is-
rael, my called : I am he : I " am the first,
I also am the last.
13 Mine* hand also hath laid the foun-
dation of the earth, and ^my right hand
hath spanned the heavens : tohen I * call
unto them, they stand up together.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and
hear; which among them hath declared
th.esQ things ? The Loed hath loved <* him ;
he wiU* do his pleasure on Babylon, and
his arm shall he on the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken ; yea, I have
called him; Is have brought him, and
he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye
this ; I have not spoken in secret from
the beginning ; from the time that it was,
there am I : and now the ' Lord GrOD ana
his Spirit hath sent me.
17 Thus saith the Loed, thy Redeemer,
the Holy One of Israel ; I am the Loed
thy God which teacheth'" thee to pro-
fit," which leadeth" thee by the way
that thou shouldest go.
18 O^ that thou hadst hearkened to my
commandments! then had thy 9 peace
been as a river, and thy righteousness
as the waves of the sea ;
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and
the ofispring of thy bowels like the gravel
thereof; his name should not have been
cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 Go* ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from
the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing

JljISTEN, O isles, unto me ; and hearken,
ye people, from far; The Lord hath
called me from '^ the womb ; from the
bowels of my mother hath he made men-
tion of my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a
sharp sword;' in* the shadow of his hand
hath he hid me, and made me a polished
shaft : ' in his quiver hath he hid me ;
3 And said unto me, Thou art my ser-
vant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. "
4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain,
I have spent my strength for nought, and
in vain; yet surely my judgment is with
the Lord, and my p work with my Grod.
5 And now, saith the Lord that formed
me from the womb to he Ms servant, to
bring Jacob again to him, 7 Though Israel
be not* gathered, yet shall I be glorious
in the eyes of the Lord, and my God
shall be my strength.
6 And he said, ^It is a light thing that
thou shouldest be my servant to raise
up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the
"preserved of Israel; I will also give
thee for a lights to the GrentUes, that
thou mayest be my salvation unto the
end of the earth.
7 Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of
Israel, and his Holy One, to him ^ whom
man despiseth, * to him whom the nation "
abhorreth, to a servant of I'ulers, Kings*'
shall see and arise, princes also shall wor-
ship, because of the Lord that is faith-
ful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he
shall choose thee.
8 Thus saith the Lord, In an accept-
able* time have I heard thee, and in a
day of salvation have I helped thee: and
I will preserve thee, and give thee for a
covenant of the people, to '^ establish the
earth, to cause to inherit the desolate
heritages ;
9 That thou mayest say to the^ prison-
ers,* Go forth; to them that are in dark-
ness," Shew yourselves. They shall feed
in the ways, and their pastures shall he in
all high places.
10 They shall not hunger « nor thirst;
neither shall the heat nor sun smite them :
for he that hath mercy on them shall
lead* them, even by the springs of water
shall he guide them.
11 And/ I will make all my mountains
a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these shall come from far;
and, lo, these from the north and from the
west ; and these from the land of Sinim.
13 Sing, O heavens : and be joyful,
O earth; and break forth into smging,
O mountains ; for the Lord hath com-
forted his people, and will have mercy
upon his afflicted.

saken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

19 For thy waste and thy desolate

I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles,
and set up my_ standard to the people : and
they shall bring thy sons in their ^arms,
and thy daughters shall be carried upon
their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be thy i? nursing

flee away.
12 I,/ even I, am he that comforteth
you : who art thou, that thou shouldest be
afraid of a man that shall die, and of the
son of man which shall be made as grass ;
13 And forgettest the Lord thy maker,
that hath stretched forth the heavens, and
laid the foundations of the earth ; and
hast feared continually every day be-
cause of the fury of the oppressor, as if
he 7 were ready to destroy? and where*
is the fury of the oppressor ?
14 The captive exile hasteneth that he
may be loosed, and that he should not die
in the pit, ^ nor that his bread should fail.
15 But I am the Lord thy God, that
divided the sea, whose waves roared:
The Lord of hosts is his name.
16 And I have put my words ^ in thy
mouth, and I have covered thee in the
shadow 5 of mine hand, that I may plant
the heavens,* and lay the foundations of
the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art
my people.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jeru-
salem, which hast drunk at the hand of
the Lord the cup of his fury : thou '"
hast drunken the dregs of the cup of
trembling, and vrrnng them out.
18 There is none to guide her among
all the sons tvhom she hath brought forth ;
neither is there any that taketh her by
the hand of all the sons that she hath
brought up.
19 These two things ^ are come unto
thee; who shall be sorry for thee? deso-
lation, and f destruction, and the famine,
and the sword: by'' whom shall I com-
fort thee ?
20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at
the head of all the streets, as a wild bull
in a net : they are full of the fary of the
Lord, the rebuke of thy God.
21 Therefore, hear now this, thou af-
flicted, and drunken,/ but not with wine :
22 Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and
thy God that pleadeth' the cause of his
people, Behold, I have taken out of thine
hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs
of the cup of my fury ; thou shalt no
more ' drink it again :
23 But"* I will put it into the hand of
them that afflict thee ; which have said to
thy soul. Bow down, that we may go over :
and thou hast laid" thy body as the ground,
and as the street, to them that went over.

A-WAKE, awake; put on thy strength,
O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy* city: for hence-
forth' there shall no more come into thee
the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Shake" thyself from the dust; arise,
and, sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself
from the bands of thy neck, O captive
daughter of Zion.

sold * yourselves for nought ; and ye
shall be redeemed without money.

to sojourn there ; and the Assyrian op-
pressed them without cause.

them make them to howl, saith the Lord ;
and my name continually every day is
blasphemed.*
6 Therefore my people shaU know my
name : therefore they shall Jciioio in that
day that I am he that doth speak ; be-
hold, if is I.
7 How beautifuH upon the mountains «
are the feet of him that bringeth good
tidings, that publisbeth peace ; that bring-
eth good tidings *' of good, that publisheth
salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God
reigneth !
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice ;
with the voice together shall they sing;
for they shall see ^ eye to eye, when the
LOED shall bring again Zion,
9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
ye waste places of Jerusalem : for the
Lord hath comforted his people, he hath
redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The" Lord hath made bare his holy
arm in the eyes of all the nations ; and

salvation of our God.
11 Depart »■ ye, depart ye, go ye out
from thence, touch* no unclean thing; go
ye out of the midst of her ; be * ye clean,
that bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 For ye shall not go out with haste,
nor go by flight : for the Lord will go
before you; and the God of Israel toill
ibe your rereward.
13 Behold, my servant shall ^deal pru-
dently, he shall be exalted and extolled,
and be very high.
^ 14 As many were astonished at thee ; his
visage was so marred more than any man,
and his form more than the sons of men ;
15 So shall he sprinkle " many nations :
the kings shall shut their mouths at him :
for that which had not been told them
shaU they see, and that which they had
not heard shall they consider.
^r CHAPTER LIIL
Who hath beheved'*' our ^report? and
to whom* is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry
ground : he hath no form nor comeliness ;
and when we shall see him, there is no

a man of sorrows, and acquainted" with
grief: and ''we hid as it were our faces

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and
carried our sorrows : * yet we did esteem
him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

feiNG, P O barren, thou that didst not
bear; break forth into singing, and cry
aloud, thou that didst not travail with
child : for more are the children of the
desolate than the children of the married
wife, saith the Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let
them stretch forth the curtains of thine
habitations : spare not, lengthen thy cords,
and strengthen thy stakes :
3 For thou shalt break forth on the
right hand and on the left; and thy seed
shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the
desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not ; for thou shalt not be asham-
ed : neither be thou confounded ; for thou
shalt not be put to shame : for thou shalt
forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt
not remember the reproach of thy widow-
hood any more.
5 For thy Maker is thine husband;"
the Lord of hosts is his name ; and thy
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The
God of the whole earth shaU he be called.
6 For the Lord hath called thee as a
woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
and a wife of youth, when thou wast re-
fused, saith thy God.
7 For a small moment ^ have I forsaken
thee ; but with great mercies wiU I gather
thee.
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from
thee for a moment; but with everlasting
kindness wiU I have mercy on thee, saith
the Lord thy Redeemer.
9 For this is as the waters of JN oah unto
me: for as I have sworn that the waters
of Noah should no more go over the
earth ; so have I sworn that I would not
be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10 For ' the moimtains shall depart, and
the hills be removed; but my kindness
shall not depart from thee, neitlier shall
the covenant* of my peace be removed,
saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest,
and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy
stones i" with fair colours, and lay thy
foundations with sapphires. .
12 And I will make thy windows of
agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and
aU thy borders of pleasant stones.
13 And* all thy children shall he taught
of the Lord ; and great shall be the peace
of thy children. , ,, „ ' •■ ,,

lislied : thou slialfc be far from oppression ;
for tliou shalt not fear : and from terror ;
for" it shall not come near thee.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather to-
gether, hut not by me: whosoever shall
gather together against thee shall fall for
thy sake,
16 Behold, I have created the smith that
bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bring-
eth forth an instrument for his work ; and
1/ have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against
thee shall prosper ; and 3 every tongue that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the
servants of the Lord; and their right-
eousness* is of me, saith the Loed.
CHAPTEE LV.
Ho, every one that thirsteth^' come ye
to the waters, and he that hath no money ;
come ye, buy "* and eat ; « yea, come, buy
wine and mdk without money, and with-
out price.
2 Wherefore do ye ^ spend money for
that tvhich is not bread? and your labour
for that which satisfieth not ? Hearken di-
ligently^ unto me, and eat ye that tohich
is good, and let yom* soul delight itself
in*" fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me:
hear, and your soul shall live; and I will
make an everlasting covenant" with you,
even the sure" mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him *" for a wit-
ness ^ to the people, a leader and com-
mander" to the people.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that
thou knowest not; and nations'* that knew
not thee shall run unto thee, because of
the Loed thy G-od, and for the Holy One
of Israel ; for he hath glorified thee.
6 Seek ye the Loed while'' he may be
found, call ye upon him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and
the ^ unrighteous man his thoughts : « and
let him return unto the_ Loed, and he
will have mercy upon him: and to our
G-od, for he will « abundantly* pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, saith the
Loed.
9 For/ as the heavens are higher than
the earth, so are my ways higher than
your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts.
10 For as the raini' cometh down, and the
snow, from heaven, and returneth not
thither, but watereth the earth, and mak-
eth it bring forth and bud, that it may give
seed to the sower, and bread to the eater ;
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth
out of my mouth : it shall not return unto
me void;» but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in
the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For 3'e shall go out with joy, and be
led forth with peace: the mountains and
the hills shall break forth before you into
singing, and all the trees of the field shall
clap their hands.
13 Instead "* of the thorn shall come up
the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall
come up the myrtle tree: and" it shall
be to the Loed for a name, for an ever-
lasting sign that shall not be cut off.

9 But they that have gathered it shall

3 I have trodden the winepress alone;

4 For the day • of vengeance is in mine

9 In all their affliction he « was afflicted,
and the angel * of his presence saved them :
in his love and in his pity he redeemed
them: and lie bare*^ them, and carried
them all the days of old.
10 But they rebelled, and vexed « his ho-
ly Spirit: therefore he was turned to be
their enemv,/ and he fought against them.
11 Then "he remembered^ the days of old,
Moses and his people, saying. Where is he
that brought them up out of the sea with
the /3 shepherd of his flock? where is he
that put his holy Spirit '' within him ?
12 That led them by the right hand of
Moses with his glorious arm, dividing
the' water before them, to make himself
an everlasting name ?
13 That led them through the deep,
as an horse in the wilderness, that they
should not stumble ?
14 As a beast goeth down into the val-
ley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him
to rest : so didst thou lead thy people, to °
make thyself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold
from the habitation i of thy holiness and of
thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength,
the 5 sounding of thy bowels* and of thy
mercies toward me ? are they restrained ?
16 Doubtless thou art our father,
though Abraham be ignorant of us, and
Israel acknowledge us not : thou, O
LoED, art our father, our >) redeemer :

iy O LoED, why hast thou made us to

i "* AM sought of theiti that asked not for
me; I am found of them that sought me
not : I said. Behold me, behold me, unto a
nation that was not caUed by my name.
2 1" have spread out my hands all the
day unto a rebellious people, which
walketh in a way that toas not good,
after their own thoughts ;
3 A people that provoketh^ me to
anger continually to my face ; that sa-
crificeth »■ in gardens, and burneth in-
cense upon V altars of brick ;
4 Which remain among the graves,
and lodge in the monuments ; which
eat swine's flesh, and f broth of abomi-
nable things is in their vessels ;
5 Which say. Stand by thyself, come
not near to me ; for I am hoher than
thou. These are a smoke in my ^nose,
a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me ; I will
not keep silence, but will recompense,
even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of
your fathers together, saith the Loed,
which have burned incense upon the
mountains, and blasphemed me upon
the hills : therefore will I measure their
former work into their bosom.
8 Thus saith the Loed, As the new
wine is found in the cluster, and one
saith. Destroy it not; for a blessing is in
it: so will I do for my servants' sakes,
that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of
Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of
my moimtains : and mine elect * shall in-
herit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks,
and the vaUey of Achor a place for the
herds to lie down in, for my people that
have sought me.
11 But ye are they that forsake the Loed,
that forget my holy moimtain, that prepare
a table for that »- troop, and that furnish
the drink oflering unto that '^number.
12 Therefore "^ will I number you to the
sword, and ye shall all bow down to the
slaughter : because when/ I 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 3^e
shall be hungry : behold, my servants
shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: be-
hold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye
shall be ashamed :
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy
of heart, but ye' shall cry for sorrow of
heart, and shall howl for •r vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shaE leave your name lor a
curse " unto my chosen : for the Lord
God shall slay thee, and call his ser-
vants by another name :

16 That he who blesseth" himself in the
earth, shall bless himself in the God of
truth ; and he that sweareth* in the earth,
shall swear by the Grod of truth ; because
the former troubles are forgotten, and be-
cause they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new'' heavens,
and a new earth : and the former shaU not
be remembered, nor come 7 into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice^ for ever
in that which I create : foi", behold, I
create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her
people a joy.
19 And I^ will rejoice in Jerusalem,
and joy in my people : 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 shall die
an hundred years old ; but the sinner,-'
being an hundred years old, shall be ac-
cursed.
21 And they' shall build houses, and
inhabit them; and they shall plant vine-
yards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not biuld, and another"'
inhabit ; they shall not plant, and another
eat: for as the days of a tree^ are the
days of my people, and mine elect shall
^ long enjoy the woi'k of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor
bring forth for trouble : for they '' are the
seed of the blessed of the Loed, and
their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that be-
fore they call, I will answer: and while*
they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf* and the lamb shall feed to-
gether, and the lion shall eat straw like the
bullock : and dust " shall be the serpent's
meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in
all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
rp CHAPTER LXVI.
JLHUS saith the Loed, The heaven"' is
my throne, and the eartn is my footstool :
where is the house that ye build unto
me ? and where is the place of my rest ?
2 For all those things hath mine hand
made, and all those things have been, saith
the Lord : but to this man will I look,
even to him that is poor^ and of a con-
trite* spirit, and trembleth" at my word.
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew
a man ; he that sacrificeth a ^ lamb, as if
he cut off a dog's neck ; he that offereth
an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood :
he that *« bui'neth incense, as if he blessed
an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own
ways, and their soul delighteth in their
abominations.
4 I also will choose their /^delusions,''
and will bring their fears upon them ; be-
cause' when I called, none did answer ;
when I spake, they did not hear : but they
did evil before mine eyes, and chose that
in which I delighted not.
5 Hear the word of the Loed, ye that
tremble'^ at his word ; Your brethren that
hated you, that cast you out for my
name's sake, said. Let the Lord be glo-
rified: but he shall appear to your joy,
and they shall be ashamed.

so wiU I comfort you; and ye shall be
comforted in Jerusalem.
14 And when ye see this, your heart shaU
rejoice," and your bones" shaU flourish
Uke an herb ; and the hand of the Loed
shaU be known toward his servants, and
his indignation toward his enemies.
15 For,9 behold, the LoedwUI come
with fire, and with his chariots Hke a
whirlwind, to render his anger with fury,
and his rebuke with flames or fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword wiU
the Lord plead with aU flesh: and the
slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 They" that sanctify themselves, and
purify themselves in the gardens, v behind
one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh,
and the abomination, and the mouse, shaU
be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 For I know their works and their
thoughts : it shaU come, that I wUl gather
aU nations and tongues ; and they shaU
come, and see my glory.
19 And I wiU set a sign* among them,
and I wiU send those that escape of them
unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and
Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and
Javan, to the isles afar oft*, that have not
lieard my fame, neither have seen my
glory;* and they shall declare my glory
among the Grentiles.
20 And they shaU bring aU your bre-
thren for an offering' unto the Lord, out
of aU nations, upon horses, and in cha-
riots, and in ^Utters, and upon mules,
and upon swift beasts, to my holy moun-
tain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the
cluldi'cn of Israel bring an offermg in a
clean vessel into the house of the Lord,
21 And I wiU also take of them for
vriests /and for Levites, saith the Lord.
22 For as the newo heavens and tlio
new earth, which I wiU make, shaU re-
main before me, saith the Lord, so shaU
your seed and your name remain.
23 And' it sliaU come to pass, that from
V one new moon to another, and from one
sabbath to another, shaU all* flesh come
to worship before me. saith the Loed.
24 And they shaU go forth, and look
upon the carcases of the men that have
transgressed against me: for their worm
shaU' not die, neither shaU their fire be
quenched; and they shaU be an abhor-
ring"* unto aU flesh.

The Book of the Prophet JEEEMIAH.
^ CHAPTER I.
XHE words of Jeremia]i« the son of
Hilkiah, of the pi'iests that toere in Ana-
thoth * in the land of Benjamin :
2 To whom the word of the Lord
came in the days of Josiah the son of
Amou king of Judah, in'' the thirteentli
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 captive in
the fifth i' mouth.
4 Then the word of the Loed came
unto me, saying,
5 Before'^ I formed thee in the belly I
knew thee ; and before thou earnest forth
out of the womb I sanctified thee ; and I
y ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6 Then" said I, Ah! Lord God! behold,
I cannot speak ; for I am a child.
7 But the Loed said unto me, Say not.
I am a child: 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 Loed.
9 Then the Loed put forth his hand,
and touched" my mouth. And the Loed
said unto me. Behold, I have put my
words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the
nations, and over the kingdoms, to root^
out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and
to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Moreover, the word of the Loed
came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what
seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of
an almond tree.
12 Then said the Loed unto me. Thou
hast well seen ; for I will hasten my word
to perform it.
13 And the word of the Loed came
unto me the second time, saying. What
seest thou ? And I said, I see a seething
pot;« and the face thereof is ^toward the
north.
14 Then the Loed said unto me. Out
of the north/ an evil shall ^ break forth
upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For, lo, I will call all the families
of the kingdoms of the north, saith the
LoED; and they shall come, and they
shall set every one his throne at the enter-
ing of the gates of Jerusalem, and against
all the walls thereof round about, and
against all the cities of Judah.
16 And I win utter my judgments
against them touching aU their wicked-
ness, who"* have forsaken me, and have
burned incense unto other gods, and wor-
shipped the works of their own hands.
17 Thou therefore gu-d^ up thy loins,
and arise, and speak unto them all that
I command thee : be « not dismayed at
their faces, lest I << confound thee before
them.
18 For, behold, 1» have made thee tliis
day a defenced city, and an iron pillar.

-T. -- CHAPTER II.
IViOREOVEB, the word of the Loed
came to me, saying,
2 Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem,
saying, Thus saith the Loed, I remem-
ber ^ thee, the kindness of thy youth,* the
love of thine espousals, when* thou went-
est after me in the wilderness, in a land
titat was not sown.
3 Israel ioas holiness^ unto the Loed,
and the firstfru'ts of his increase : all'"
that devour bin shall ofiend; evU" shall
come upon them, saith the Loed.
4 Hear ye the word of the Loed, O
house of Jacob, and all the families of
the house of Israel :
5 Thus saith the Loed, What' iniquity
have your fathers found in me, that they
are gone far from me, and have^ walked
after vanity, and are become vain ?
6 Neither" said they. Where is the
Loed that brought us up'" out of the
land of Egypt, that led^ us through the
wilderness, through a land of deserts and
of pits; through a land of drought, and
of the shadow of death ; through a land
that no man passed through, and where
no man dwelt ?
7 And I brought you into ^a plentiful
country, to eat the fruit thereof and the
goodness thereof: but when ye entered,
ye defiled* my land, and made mine he-
ritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, WTiere is the
Loed? and they that handle the law"
knew me not : the pastors also trans-
gressed against me, and the prophets*
prophesied by Baal, and walked after
things that" do not profit.
9 Wherefore* I will yet plead with
you, saith the Loed, and with your
children's children will I plead.
10 For pass ^ over the isles of Chittim,*'
and see ; and send unto Kedar,* and con-
sider diligently, and see if there be sucli
a thing :
11 Hath* a nation changed their gods,
which are yet no gods ? but my people
have changed* their glory for that which
doth not profit.
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens,' at
this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very
desolate, saith the Loed.
13 For my people have committed two
evils ; they have forsaken me," the foim-
tain" of living waters, and hewed them
out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can
hold no water.
14 Is Israel a servant ?»■?* he a home-
born slave ? why is he ^ spoiled ?
15 The young Hons' roared upon liim and
1^ yelled, and they made his land waste :
Ux'posUdalio/i with Israel.
JEREMIAH, III,
The wickedness of Israel.
his cities arc burned without inhabitant.
16 Also the children of Noph and Ta-
hapanes* /^have broken the crown of thy
head.''
17 Hast thou not procured tliis unto thy-
self/ in that thou hast forsaken the Lokd
thy.Grod, when he led thee by the way ?
18 And now what hast thou to do in
the way of Egypt,*' to drink the waters of
Sihor ?" or Avhat hast thou to do in the way
of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
19 Thine own*' wickedness shall correct
thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove
thee: know, therefore, and see, that it is
an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast for-
saken the LoED thy God, and that my fear
is not in thee, saith the Lord GrOD of hosts.
20 For of old time I have broken thy
yoke, and burst thy bands; and" thou
saidst, I will not ^transgress; when upon
every high hiU, and under every green
tree, thou wanderest, playing the harlot.'
21 Yet I had planted thee a noble "" vine,
whoUy a right seed; how then art thou
turned into the degenerate plant of a
strange* vine unto me ?
22 For though thou wash thee with nitre,
and take thee much soap, ^/et thine iniquity
is marked" before me, saitli the Lord GfoD.
23 How canst thou say, I am not* pol-
luted, I have not gone after Baalim? See
thy way in the valley, know Avhat thou
hast done; thou ^art a swift dromedary
traversing her ways ;
24 A 'Jwild ass ^used to the wilderness, that
snuffeth up the wind at *« her pleasure ; in
her occasion who can*'^ turn her away? aU
they that seek her will not weary them-
selves ; in her month they shall find her.
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod,
and thy thi'oat from thirst: but thou saidst,
There H-is no hope:'' no; for I have loved
strangers, and after them will I go.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is
found, so is the house of Israel ashamed ;
ttey, their kings, their princes, and their
priests, and their prophets,
27 Saying to a stock, ^ Thou art my father;
and to a stone, Thou hast i' brought mc forth ;
for they have turned ^ their back unto me,
and not their face : but in the time of their
trouble/ they wiU say, Arise, and save us.
28 But where are thy gods that thou
hast made thee? let them ai*ise, if they
can save thee in the time of thy P trou-
ble: for according to the number of thy
cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29 Wherefore will ye plead Avith me?
ye aU have transgressed against me,
saith the Lokd.
30 In vain'' have I smitten your child-
ren: they received no correction: your
own sword' hath devoured your pro-
phets, like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, see ye the word of the
LoED: Have I iDeen a wilderness unto
Israel? a land of darkness? Wherefore
say my people. We <^are lords ;^" we will
come no more imto thee ?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments,
or a bride her attire ? yet my people have
forgotten" me days without number.
33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek
love? therefore hast thou also taught the
wicked ones thy Avays.
34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood
of the souls of the poor innocents:*' I
have not found it by X secret search, but
upon all these.

35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am" in-
nocent, surely his anger shall turn from
me: behold, I will plead with thee, be-
cause thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36 Why gaddest thou about so much
to change thy way? thou also shalt be
ashamed of Egn)t,« as thou wast-'' asham-
ed of Assyria.
37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him,
and thine hands' upon tlaine head: for
the LoED hath rejected thy confidences,
and' thou shalt not prosper in them.
rn CHAPTER III.
JLHEY ysay, If a man put aAA^ay his
Avife, and she go from him, and become
another man's, shall he return unto her
again?"' shall not that land be greatly
polluted? but thou" hast played the har-
lot Avith many lovers; yet return^ again
to me, saith the Loed.
2 Lift up thme eyes unto the high places,
and see where thou hast not been lien
Avith : in the waysf hast thou sat for them,
as the Arabian in the wilderness ; and
thou hast polluted the land with thy
Avhoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore" the showers have been
Avithh9lden, and there hath been no lat-
ter rain; and"* thou hadst a whore's fore-
head, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry
unto me. My father, thou art the guide
ofy my youth?
5 WiU^ he reserve Jus anger for ever?
will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou
hast spoken and done evil things as thou
couldest.
6 The LoED said also unto me in the
days ofJosiah the king. Hast thou seen
that which backsHding Israel hath done?
she is gone up upon" every high moun-
tain, and under every green tree, and
there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said,*' after she had done all
these tilings. Turn thou unto me; but
she returned not. And her treacherous
sister Judah'' saw it.
8 And I saw, Avhen for all the causes
whereby backsliding Israel committed
adulter}^, I had put her away, and given
her a bill of divorce ; yet her treacherous
sister Judah feared not, but Avent and
played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the
lightness o" of her whoredom, that she de-
filed the land, and committed adultery
with stones and with*' stocks,
10 And yet for aU this her treacherous
sister Judah hath not tiu-ned unto me
with her whole heart, but '"feignedly,
saith the Loed,
11 And the Loed said unto me, The
backsUding Israel hath justified herself
more than treacherous Judah,
12 Gro, and proclaim these Avords to-
ward the north, and say. Return, thou
backsHding Israel, saith the Loed, and
I will not cause mine auger to fall upon
you: for I am merciful,' saith the Loed,
a)id I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge'" thiue iniquity, that
thou hast transgressed against the Loed
thy Grod, and hast scattered thy Avays to the
strangers under every green tree, and yo
have not obeyed my voice, saith the Loed.
14 Turn, O backsHding children, saith
the LoED; for I am mai'ried^ unto you;
and I wiH take you one of a city, and two of
a familj^ and I Avill bring you to Zion :
Promises of mere;!.
15 And I will give you pastors
ing to mine heart, which shall feed* you
with Icuowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye
be niultiphed and increased in the land,
in those days, saith the LOKD, they shall
say no more, Tlie ark of the covenant of
the LOED; neither/ shall it come 7 to
mind, neither shall they remember it.
neither shall they visit it^ neither shall
5 that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusa-
lem the throne of the Lord : and all the
nations shall be gathered unto it, to the
name of the Loed, to Jerusalem : neither
shall they walk any more* after the ^ima-
gination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah*
shall walk ^ with the house of Israel, and
they shall come together out of the land of
the north to the land that I 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 laud, '^a goodly heritage of
the hosts of nations? And I said, Thou
shalt call me, My»» father; and shalt
not turn away "^ from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously de-
parteth from her P husband, so have ye
dealt treacherously "with me, O house
of Israel, saith the LoED.
21 A voice was heard upon the high
places, weeping P and supplications of
the children of Israel : for they have
perverted then'? way, and they have for-
gotten the Lord their Grod.
22 Eeturn, »■ jq backsliding _ children,
and I will heal your backshdings. Be-
hold^ we come unto thee; for* thou art
the LoED our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for
from the hills, and from the multitude
of mountains; truly^ in the Loed our
God is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of
our fathers from our youth: theii* flocks and
their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We"* lie down in our shame, and
our confusion covereth us: for we have
sinned against the Loed our God, we
and our fathers, from our youth even
unto this day, and have not obeyed the
voice of the Loed our God.
-y- , CHAPTER IV.
_LE thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the
Loed, return unto me ; and if thou wilt
put away thine abominations out of my
sight, then shalt thou not remove.
2 And thou shalt swear, y The Loed
liveth, in truth,* in judgment, and in
righteousness; and the nations f shall
bless themselves in him, and in him
shaU* they glory.
3 For thus saith the Loed to the men of
Judah and Jerusalem, Break ** up your fal-
low ground, and sow not among* thorns.
4 Circumcise/ yourselves to the Loed,
and take away the foreskins of your heart,
ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jeru-
salem; lest my fury come forth like fire,
and burn that none can quench ii^ be-
cause of the evil of your doings.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in
Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trum-
pet in the land: cry, gather together,
and say. Assemble yourselves, and let
us go into the defenced cities.

the north, and a great ^ 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 desolate: and thy cities
shall be laid waste without an inhabitant.
8 For thisi/ gird you Avith sackcloth,
lament and howl; for the fierce anger of
the Loed is not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day,
saith the Loed, that the heart of the
king shall perish, and the heart of the
princes ; and the priests shall be astonish-
ed, and the prophets shall wonder.
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! surely
thou hast greatly deceived this people and
Jerusalem, saying, Ye shaU have* peace ;
whereas the sword' reacheth unto the soul.
11 At that time shall it be said to this
people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of
the high places in the wilderness toward
the daughter of my people, not to fan,
nor to cleanse,
12 Even a Mfull wind from those 2Ji(ices
shall come unto me: now also will I
^give sentence against them.
13 Behold, he shall come up as^ clouds,
and his chariots sJiall be as a whirlwind:
his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe
unto us ! for we are spoiled.
14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart" from
wickedness, that thou mayest be saved:
how long shall thy vain thoughts lodge
within thee ?
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and
publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
16 Make ye mention to the nations:
behold, publish against Jerusalem, that
watchers come from a far country, and
Jive out their voice against the cities of
udah.
17 As keepers of a field are they against
her round abOut; because" she hath been
rebeUious against me, saith the Loed.
18 Thy" way and thy doings have pro-
cured these things unto thee: this is thy
wickedness, because it is bitter, because
it reacheth unto thine heart.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pain-
ed at o'my very heart; my heart maketh
a noise in me: I cannot hold my neace,
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 spoiled:
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 fooHsh, thej^ have
not known me; they are sottish children,
and they have none understanding: they
are -mse" to do evil, but to do good they
have no knowledge.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was
without^ form and void; and the hea-
vens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they
trembled,* and all the hiUs moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there teas no man,
and all the birds* of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place
tvas a wilderness, and aU the cities there-
of were broken down at the presence of
the Loed, and by his fierce* anger.
27 For thus hath the Loed said, The
whole land shall be desolate: yet will I
not make a full end.
Punishment predicted.
28 For" this shall the earth mourn, and
the heavens above be black: because I
have spoken it, I have pui'posed it, and
will not repent, neither will I turn back
from it.
29 The whole city shall flee for the
noise of the horsemen and bowmen ; they
shall go into thickets, and climb up upon
the rocks : every city shall he forsaken,
and not a man dwell therein.
30 And tvhen thou art spoiled, what
wilt thou do ? Though thou clothest thy-
self with crimson, though thou* deckest
thee with ornaments of gold, though thou
rentest thy ^face with painting, in vain
shalt thou make thyself fair: thy lovers/
will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a wo-
man in travail, and the anguish as of her
that bringeth forth her first child; the
A^oice of the daughter of Zion, that be-
waileth herself, that spreadeth her* hands,
saying. Woe is me now! for my soul is
wearied because of murderers.
^ CHAPTER V.
XvUN ye to and fro through the streets
of Jerusalem, and see now, and know,
and seek in the broad places thereof, if'
j-e can find a man, if there be any that
executeth judgment, that seeketh the
truth ; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say," The Lord
liveth ; surely they swear falsely.
3 O LoED, are not thine eyes" upon
the truth? thou hast stricken them, but
they^ have not grieved; thou hast con-
sumed them, hut they have refused'' to
receive correction: they have made their
faces harder than a rock ; they have re-
fused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are
poor ; they are foolish : for they " know
not the way of the Loed, nor the judg-
ment of their God.
5 I wiU get me unto the great men, and
will speak unto them : for they «* have
known the way of the Lord, and the
judgment of their God: but these have
altogether broken « the yoke, and burst
the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out" of the forest
shall slay them, a;^c^awolf« of the o even-
ings shall spoil them, a leopard shall
watch over their cities : every one that
goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces ;
because _ their transgressions are manj^,
and their backslidings are ^increased.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this?
thy children have forsaken me, and sworn/
by them that are no gods : when I had fed
them to the full, they then committed
adultery,^' and assembled themselves by
troops in the harlots' houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morn-
ing : every one neighed after his neigh-
bour's wife.
9 Shall ' I not visit for these things ?
saith the Lord : and shall not my soul
be avenged on such a nation as this ?
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and de-
stroy; but™ make not a full end: take
away her battlements; for they are not
the Lord's.
11 For the house of Israel and the house
of Judah have dealt very treacherously
against me, saith the Lord.
12 They have behed*" the Lord, and said,
It is not he, neither* shall evil come upon
us, neither shall we see sword nor famine :

JLHE word that came to Jeremiah from
the Lord, saying,
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant,
and speak unto the men of Judah, au(l
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ;
3 And say thou unto them. Thus saith
the Loed God of Israel, Cursed"* be the
man that obeyeth not the words of this
covenant,
4 Which I commanded your fathers iu
the day that I brought them forth out of the
land of Egypt, from the iron^ furnace, say-
ing. Obey' my voice, and do them, accord-
ing to ail which I command you: so shall
ye be my people, and I will be your God ;
5 That^ I may perform the oath"* which
I have sworn unto your fathers, to give
them a land flowing with mdk and ho-
ney, as it is this day. Then answered I,
and said, ^ So be it, 0 Loed,
6 Then the Lord said unto me. Pro-
claim all these words in the cities of
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
saying, Hear ye the words of this cove-
nant, and do* them.
7 For I earnestly protested unto your
fathers, in the day that I brought them
up out of the land of Egypt, even xinio
this day, rising^ early and protestnig,
saying, Obey my voice.
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor mclined
their ear, but walked every one m the
'''imagination of their evil heart: there-
fore I will brmg upon them all the words
of this covenant, which I commanded
them to do ; but they did them not.
9 And the Lord said \into me, A con-
spu-acy is found among the men of Judah,
and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
10 They are turned back to the iniqui-
ties of their forefathers,-^ which refused to
hear my words ; and they went after other
c-ods to serve them : the house of Israel and
the house of Judah have broken my cove-
nant, which I made with their fathers.
11 Therefore thus saith the Loed, Be-
hold, I will bring evil upon them, which
they shall not be able to ^ escape; and
though they shall cry unto me, I will
not hearken unto them. ^ „ ,. i i j
12 Then shall the cities of Judah, and
inhabitants of Jerusalem, go and cry

incense: but they shall not save them

13 Eor* according to the number of tliy
cities were thy gods, O Judah; and ac-
cording to the number of the streets of
Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that
^shameful thing, even altars to burn in-
cense unto Baal.
14 Therefore pray not^ thou for this
people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for
them : for I will not hear them in the time
that they cry unto me for their ^ trouble.
15 What '«hath my beloved to do in
mine/ house, seeing she hatli wrought
lewdness with many, and the holy^ flesh
is passed from thee? when »'thou doest
evil, then thou rejoicest.^
16 The LoED called thy name, A green
olive* tree, fair, and of goodly fruit ; with
the noise of a great tumult he hath kin-
dled fire upon it, and the branches of it
are broken.
17 For the Loed of hosts that^ planted
thee hath pronounced evil against thee,
for the evil of the house of Israel, and
of the house of Judah, which they have
done against themselves, to provoke me
to anger, in offering incense unto Baal.
18 And the Loed hath given me know-
ledge" of it, and I know it: then thou
shewedst" me theu' doings. ■
19 But I loas like a lamb, or an ox, that
is brought to the slaughter; and I knew
not that they had devised devices 9 against

may be no more remembered.
20 But, O Loed of hosts, that judgest
righteously, that triest* the reins and the
heart, let me see thy vengeance on them ;

21 Therefore thus saith the Loed of the
men of Anathoth that seek thy life, say-
ing. Prophesy not'" in the name of the

rp, CHAPTER XIV.
JLHE word of the Lord that came to
Jeremiah ^ concerning the dearth.
2 Judah mourneth. and the gates/ thereof
languish ; they are black unto the ground ;
and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.^
3 And their nobles have sent their little
ones to the waters : they came to the pits,
and found no water; they returned with
their vessels empty; they were ashamed
and confounded, and covered their heads.
4 Because the ground is chapt, for there
was no rain in the earth, the plowmen
were ashamed, they covered their heads.
5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field,
and forsook ^Y, because there Avas no grass.
6 And the wild asses did stand in the
high places, they snuiFed up the wind like
dragons ; their eyes did fail, because there
toas no grass.
7 O Lord, though* our iniquities tes-
tify against us, do thou it for thy name's
sake: for our backslidings are many; we
have sinned against thee.
8 O the hope^ of Israel, the Saviour
thereof in time of trouble,™ why shoidd-
est thou be as a stranger in the land, and
as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to
tarry for a night ?
9 Why shouldest thou be as a man as-
tonied, as a mighty man thatP cannot
save? yet thou, 0 Lord, art in the midst'"
of us, and ^we are called by thy name;
leave us not.
10 Thus saith the Lord unto this people,
Thus have they loved to wander, they
have not refrained « their feet; therefore
the Lord doth not accept them : he will
now remember'* their iniquity, and visit
their sins.
11 Then said the Lord imto me. Pray
not for this people for their good. ,
12 When they fast, I will not'" hear their
cry; and when they ofier burnt offering
and an oblation, I vnll not accept them ;
but I will consume them by the sword,
and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
13 Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! behold,
the prophets say^ unto them, le shall
not see the sword, neither shall ye have
famine; but I will give you a assured
peace in this place. ., ^ m
14 Then the Lord said unto me, llie
prophets prophesy lies" in my name; I
sent them not, neither have I commanded
them, neither spake unto them: they
prophesy unto you a false vision and
divination, and a thing of^ nought, and
the deceit-^ of their heart.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord con-
cerning the prophets that prophesy in my
name, and I sent them not, yet they say.
Sword and famine shall not be m this
land; By sword and famine shall those
prophets be consumed.
16 And the people to whom they pro-
phesy shall be cast out in the streets of
Jerusalem, because of the famme and
the sword : and they shall have none to
bury^ them, them, their wives, nor their
sons, nor their daughters : for I wiU pour
their wickedness' upon them. .
17 Therefore thou shalt say this word
unto them, Let' mine eyes run down witli
tears night and day, and let them not

people is broken" with a great breach,
Avith a very grievous blow.
18 If I go forth* into the field, then be-
hold the slain with the sword! and if I
enter into the city, then behold them that
are sick with famine! yea, both the pro-
phet and the priest Vgo about into a land
that they know not.
19 Hast thou utterly rejected^ Judah?
hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast
thou smitten us, and there is no heaUng
for/ us ? we looked for peace, and there
is no good; and for the time of healing,
and behold trouble !
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wick-
edness, ayid the iniquity of our fathers;
for we' have sinned against thee.
21 Do not' abhor us, for thy name's
sake; do not disgrace tne throne of thy
glory:" remember, break not thy covenant
with us.
22 AreP there any among the vanities
of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or
c£in the heavens give showers? Art not
thou? he, O LoED our God? therefore we
will wait upon thee; for thou hast made
all these thinqs.
rn CHAPTER XV.
XHEN said the Lord unto me. Though
Moses* and Samuel* stood before me,
yet^ my mind could not he toward this
people; cast them out of my sight, and
let them go forth.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say
imto thee. Whither shaU we go forth?
then thou shalt tell them. Thus saith the
Lord, Such"' as are for death, to death;
and such as are for the sword, to the
sword; and such as are for the famine,
to the famine; and such as are for the
captivity, to the captivity.
3 And I wiU appoint* over them four
'J kinds, saith the Lord; the sword to
slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls
of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth,
to devour and destroy.
4 And I wiU ^ cause them to be^ removed
into all kingdoms of the earth, because* of
Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of
Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 For who« shall have pity upon thee, O
Jerusalem ? or who shall bemoan thee ? or
who shall go aside to ask *« how thou doest ?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord,
thou art gone backward; therefore will I
stretch out my hand against thee, and de-
stroy thee ; I am weary with repenting.
7 And I wiU fan them with a fan*' in
the gates of the land ; I wiU bereave them
of '^ children, I will destroy my people,
since they return nof* from their ways. .
8 Their widows are increased to me
above the sand of the seas : I have brought
upon them, against the m mother of the
young men, a spoiler at noonday ; I have
caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and
terrors upon the city.
9 She that hath borne seven languish-
eth ; she hath given up the ghost ; her sun
is gone down while* it loas yet day; she
hath been ashamed and confounded: and
the residue of them will I deliver to the
sword before their enemies, saith the
Lord. ^

thou take forth the precious from the

±HE word of the Lord came also unto

2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, nei-
ther shalt thou have sons or daughters

3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the
sons and concerning the daughters that are
born in this place, and concerning their
mothers that bare them, and concerning
their fathers that begat them in this land ;
4 They shall die of grievous * deaths :
they shaU not be lamented, neither shall
they be buried; hut they shall be as dung
upon the face of the earth; and they
shall be consumed by the sword, and by
famine; and their carcases shall be meat
for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts

5 For thus saith the Lord, Enter not
into the house of "mourning, neither go to
lament nor bemoan them : for I have taken
away my peace from this people, saith the
Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies.
6 Both the great and the small shall die
in this land: they shall not be buried,
neither shall men lament for them, nor
cut themselves, nor make themselves bald
for them.

8 Thou shalt not also go into the house

9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the
God of Israel ; Behold, I wiU cause to
cease'' out of this place in your eyes, and
in your days, the voice of mirth, and the
voice of gladjiess, the voice of the bride-
groom, and the voice of the bride.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou
shalt shew this people all these words,
and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore/
liath the Loed pronounced all this great
evil against us ? or what is our iniquity ?
or Avhat is our sin that we have committed
against the Loed our Grod ?
11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Be-
cause your fathers have forsaken me, saith
the Loed, and have walked after other
gods, and have served them, and have
worshipped them, and have forsaken me,
and have not kept my law :
12 And ye have done Avorse than your
fathers ; for, behold, ye walk every one
after the ^ imagination of his evil heart,
that they may not hearken unto me ;
13 Therefore"' will I cast you out of
this laud into a land that ye know not,
neither ye nor your fathers ; and there
shall ye serve other gods day and night,
where I will not shew you favour.
14 Therefore,^ behold, the days come,
saith the Loed, that it shall no more be
said, The Loed liveth that brought up
the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt ;
15 But, The Loed 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
them again" into their land that I gave
unto their fathers.
16 Behold, I wiU send for many fishers,^
saith the Loed, and they shall fish them ;
and after wiU I send for many hunters,
and they shall hunt them from every
mountain, and from every hill, and out
of the holes of the rocks.
17 For mine eyes" are upon aU their
ways ; they are not hid from my face, nei-
ther is their iniquity hid* from mine eyes.
18 And first I will recompense their
iniquity and their sin double ;'' because
they* have defiled my land, they have fill-
ed mine inheritance with the carcases of
their detestable and abominable things.
19 O Loed, my strength,/ and my fortress,
and my refuge in the day of affliction,*' the
Grentiles shall come* unto thee from the
ends of the earth, and shall sa}^ Surely
our fathers have inherited lies, vanity,
and things wherein' there is no profit.
20 Sliall a man make gods unto him-
self, and they are no* gods ?

speak good for them, and to turn away
thy wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children
to the famine, and pour Tout their blood
by the force of the sword ; and let their
wives be bereaved of their chUdi'en, and
be widows ; and let their men be put to
death ; let their young men be slain by
the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses,
when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly
upon them ; for they have digged a pit
to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
23 Yet, Lord, thou knowest aU their
counsel against me ^to slay^ me: forgive
not their iniquity, neither blot out their
sin from thy sight ; but let them be over-
thrown before thee : deal thus with them
in the time of thine anger.
rp CHAPTER XIX.
iHUS saith the Lord, Go, and get a
potter's earthen bottle, and take of the
ancients of the people, and of the an-
cients of the priests,
2 And go forth unto the vaUey* of the
son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of
the 'f east gate, and proclaim there the
words that I shall tell thee ;
3 And say,** Hear ye the word of the
Lord, 0 kings of Judah, and inhabitants
of Jerusalem ; Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the Grod of Israel, Behold,* I will
bring evil upon this place, the which who-
soever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4 Because/ they have forsaken me, and
have estranged this place, and have burned
incense in it unto other gods, whom nei-
ther they^ nor their fathers have known,
nor the kings of Judah, and have fiUed
this place with the blood' of innocents ;
5 They have built also the high places
of Baal, to burn their sons with fii'e for
burnt offerings unto Baal, which I com-
manded not,' nor spake it, neither came
it into my mind :
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that this place shall no more be
called Tophet, nor, The valley of the son
of Hinnom, but, The valley of slaughter.
7 And I will make void the coimsel of
Judah and Jerusalem in this place ; and
47i
B.C.
Desolation of Jerusalem. JEREMIAH.
I will cause tliem to fall by the swortl« be-
fore their enemies, and by the hands of
them that seek their lives; and their car-
cases* will I give to be meat for the
fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts
of the earth.
8 And* I will make this city desolate,
and an hissing: every one that passeth
thereby shall be astonished ands' hiss,
because of all the plagues thereof.
9 And I wiU cause them to eat* the flesh
of their sons, and the flesh of their daugh-
ters, and they shall eat every one the flesh
of his friend, in the siege and straitness
wherewith their enemies, and they that
seek their lives, shall straiten them.
10 Then'" shalt thou break the bottle in
the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 And shalt say unto them. Thus saith
the LOED of hosts, Even so? wiU I break
this people, and this city, as one breaketh
a potter's vessel, that cannot be ^made
whole again; and they shall bury them in
Tophet, till*" there be no place to bury.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith
the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof,
and even make this city as Tophet :
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and
the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be
defiled as" the place of Tophet, because
of all the houses upon whose roofs* they
have burned incense unto all the host of
heaven, and have poured out drink offer-
ings" unto other gods.
14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet,
whither the Lord had sent him to pro-
Shesy; and he stood in the court** of the
jORd's house, and said to all the peo-
ple,
15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the
Grod of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon
this city, and upon all her towns, all the
evil that I have pronounced against it;
because/ they have hardened their necks,
that they might not heari' my words.
^T CHAPTER XX.
JNOW Pashur, the son of Immer* the
priest, who loas also chief governor in
the house of the Lord, heard that Jere-
miah prophesied these things.
2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the
prophet, and put him in the_ st9cks that
toere in the high gate of Benjamin, which
loas by the house of the Lord.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out
of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah xmto
him, The Lord hath not called thy name
Pashur, but ^Magor-missabib.
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I
will make thee a terror to thyself, and to
all thy friends; and they shall fall by the
sword of their enemies, and thine eyes
shall behold it; and I wiU give all Judah
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and
he shall carry them captive into Babylon,
and shall slay them with the sword.
5 Moreover,^ I will deliver all the
strength of this city, and all the labours
thereof, and aU the precious things there-
of, and all the treasures of the kings of
Judah win I give into the hand of their
enemies, which shall spoil them, and take
them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell
in thine house, shall go into captivity:
and thou shalt come to Babylon, and
there thou shalt die, and shalt be bu-
ried there, thou, and all thy friends.

XXI. The prophet^ s impatient appeal.
to whom thou hast prophesied* lies.
7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and
I was ^deceived; thou art stronger than
I, and hast prevailed: I am in** derision
daily, every one mocketh me.
8 lor since I spake, I cried out, I cried
violence/ and spoil; because the word
of the Lord was made a reproach uiito
me, and a derision, daily.
9 Then I said, I AviU not make mention
of him, nor speak any more in his name :
but his* word was in mine heart as a
burning fire shut up in my bones, and
I was weary with forbearing, and* I
could not staff.
10 For* I heard the defaming of many,
fear on every side. Report, sat/ they,
and we wiU" report it. yAll my fami-
liars" watched for my halting, sayiwj.
Peradventure he will bo enticed, and
we shall prevail against him, and we
shall take our revenge on him.
11 But' the Lord is with me as a migh-
ty terrible one; therefore my persecutors
shall stumble,* and they shall not* pre-
vail; they shall be greatly ashamed; for
they shaU not prosper : their everlasting
confusion shaR never " be forgotten.
12 But, 0 Lord of hosts, that triest
the*" righteous, and seest the reins and
the heart, let^ me see thy vengeance on
them : for^ unto thee have I opened my
cause. _
13 Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the
Lord ; for* he hath dehvered the soul
of the poor from the hand of evildoers-
14 Cursed" he the day wherein I was
born: let not the day wherein my mo-
ther bare me be blessed.
15 Cursed he the man who brought tid-
ings to my father, saying, A man child is
born unto thee ; making him very glad.
16 And let that man be as the cities
which the Lord overthrew,* and repent-
ed not ; and let him hear the cr); in the
morning, and the shouting at noontide,
17 Because* he slew me not from the
womb ; or that my mother might have
been my grave, and her womb to he al-
ways great with me.
18 Wherefore came I forth out of the
womb to see* labour and sorrow,' that my
days should be consumed with shame ?
^ CHAPTER XXL
XHE word which came unto Jeremiah
from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent
unto him Pashur"* the son of Melcliiah,
and Zephaniah" the son of Maaseiah the
priest, saying,
2 Inquire, « I pray thee, of the Lord
for us; for Nebuchadrezzar kin§ of Ba-
bylon maketh war against U6; if so be
that the Lord will deal with us accord-
ing to aU his wondrous works, that he
may go up from us.
3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus
shall ye say to Zedekiah :
4 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel ;
Behold, I win turn back? the weapons of
war that are in your hands, wherewith
ye fight against the king of Babylon, and
against the Chaldeans, which besiege you
without the walls, and I will assemble
them into the midst of this city.
5 And I*" myself wiU fight agamst you
with an* outstretched hand, and with a
strong arm, even in anger, and in fmy,
and in great wrath.
6 And I will smite the inhabitants of

this city, both man and beast: they shall
die of a great pestilence. x -n
7 And afterward, saith the Loed, i wiii
deliver* Zedekiah king of Jndah, and his
servants, and the people, and such as are
left in this city from the pestilence, from
the sword, and from the famine, into the
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babjdon,
and into the hand of their enemies, and
into the hand of those that seek their life :
and he*^ shall smite them with the edge
of the sword; he shall not spare them,
neither have pity, nor have mercy.
8 And imto this people thou shalt say.
Thus saith the Loed ; Behold, I set before
you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 He«' that abideth in this city shall
die by the sword, and by the famine, and
by the pestilence: but he that goeth out,
and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege
you, he shall live, and his life shall be
unto him for a^" prey. . .
10 For I have set' my face against this city
for evil, and not for good, saith the Loed ;
it shall be given into the hand of the king
of Babvlon, and he shall"* burn it with fii-e.
11 Aiid touching the house of the king of
Judah, 5ay, Hear ye the word of the Loed ;
12 O house of David, thus saith the Loed,
5 Execute" judgment in the^ morning, and
deliver him that is spoUed out of the hand
of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like
hre, and burn that none can quench ^Y,
because of the evil of your doings.
13 Behold, I am against thee, O bin-
habitant of the valley, and rock of the
plain, saith the Loed; which say, Who*
shall come down against us ? or who shall
enter into our habitations ?
14 But I wiU ^punish you according
to the fruit" of your doings, saith the
Loed: and I will kindle a fire in the
forest thereof, and it'" shall devour all
things round about it.
rr, CHAPTER XXII.
XHUS saith the Loed, Go down to
the house of the king of Judah, and speak
there this word,
2 And say. Hear' the word of the Loed,
0 king of Judah, that sittest upon the
throne of David, thou, and thy servants,
and thy people that enter in by these gates ;
3 Thus saith the Loed, Execute* ye
judgment and righteousness, and deliver
the spoUed out of the hand of the oppress-
or : and do no wrong, do no violence to the
stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nei-
ther shed innocent blood in this place.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then
shall there 'enter in by the gates of this
house kings sitting ^upon the throne of
David, riding in chariots and on horses,
he, and his servants, and his people.
5 But if/ ye wiU not hear these words,
1 swear by mjself,*' saith the Loed, that
this house shall become a desolation.
6 For thus saith the LoED tmto the
king's house of Judah, Tliou art Grilead
unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet
surely 1 wiU make thee a wilderness,
and cities ivhich are not inhabited.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against
thee, every one with his weapons; and
they* shall cut down thy choice cedars,
and' cast them into the fire.
8 And many nations shall pass by this
city, and they shall say every man to his
neighbour, AVlierefore ** hath the Loed
done thus unto this great city ?

9 Then they shall answer. Because
they" have forsaken the covenant of the
Loed their God, and worshipped other
gods, and served them.
10 Weep ye not for the dead,* neither
bemoan him; but weep sore for him that
goeth away: for he shall return no more,
nor see his native country.
11 For thus saith the Loed toucliing
Shallum* the son of Josiah king of Judah,
which reigned instead of Josiah his fa-
ther, which went forth out of this place.
He shall not return thither any more :
12 But/ he shall die in the place whi-
ther they have led him captive, and shall
see this land no more.
13 Woe* unto him that buildeth his
house by unrighteousness, and his cham-
bers by wrong: that^ useth his neigh-
bour's service without wages, and giveth
him not for his work ;
14 That saith, I will build me a wide
house, and ^ large chambers, and cutteth
him out 7 windows; and it is ceiled with
cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15 Shalt thou reign because thou closest
thyself in cedar ? Did not thy father" eat
and drink, and do judgment and justice,
and then it tvas well with him ?
16 He judged the cause of the poor and
needy; then it loas well? with him: was
not this to know me ? saith the Loed.
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are
not but for thy covetousness, and for to
shed innocent blood, and for oppression,
and for 'J violence to do it.
18 Therefore thus saith the Loed con-
cerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah, They* shall not lament forhim,
saying. Ah my brother!" or, Ah sister!
they shall not lament for him, saying.,
Ah lord! or. Ah his glory!
19 He* shall be buried with the burial
of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond
the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry ; and lift up
thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the pas-
sages : for all thy lovers y are destroyed.
21 I spake unto thee in thy " prosperity ;
lut thou saidst, I will not hear : this hath
been thy manner from" thy youth, that
thou obeyedst not my voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy" pas-
tors, and thy lovers shall go into capti-
vity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed
and confounded for aU thy wickedness.
23 O ^inhabitant of Lebanon, that mak-
est thy nest in the cedars, how gracious
shalt thou be when pangs come upon
thee, the pain as of a woman in travail !
24 As I live, saith the Loed, though
Coniah*^ the son of Jehoiakim king of
Judah were the signet" upon my right
hand, yet would I pluck thee thence ;
25 And* I will give thee into the hand
of them that seek thy life, and into the
hand of them whose face thou fearest,
even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon, and into the hand of
the Chaldeans.
26 And» I will cast thee out, and thy
mother that bare thee, into another coun-
try, where ye were not born; and there
shall ye die.
27 But to the land whereunto they »'desii-e
to return, thither shall they not return.

his seed, and are cast into a land whicli
they know not ?
29 O" earth, earth, earth, hear the word
of the LoED :
30 Thus saith the Lord, "Write ye this
man chOdless,* a man that shall not pros-
per in his days : for no man of his seed
shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of
David, and ruling any more in Judah.
^jrj CHAPTER XXIII.
W OE*^ be unto the pastors that destroy
and scatter the sheep of my pasture!
saith the Lord.
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord Grod of
Israel against the pastors that feed my
Seople, Ye/ have scattered my flock, and
riven them away, and have not visited
them: behold, I wUl visit upon you the
evil of your doings, saith the Lord.
3 And' I will gather the remnant of
my flock out of all coim^tries whither I
have driven them, and wiU bring them
again to their folds; and they shall be
fruitful and increase.
4 And* I will set up shepherds over them
which shall feed them ; and thejr shall fear
no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall
they be lacking, saith the Lord.
5 Eehold, the days come, saith the
Lord, that I wiU raise unto David a
righteous™ Branch, and a King shall
reign** and prosper, and^ shall execute
judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and
Israel shall dwell safely;' and this is his
name whereby he shall be called, ^THE
LORD OUR RiaHTEOUSNESS.
7 Therefore,'' behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, that they shall no more say.
The Lord liveth, which brought up the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt ;
8 But, The Lord Uveth," which brought
up and which led the seed of the house
of Israel out of the north country, and
from all" countries whither I had driven
them ; and"* they shall dwell in their own
land.
9 Mine heart within me is broken be-
cause of the prophets; all* my bones
shake: I am fike a drunken man, and
hke a man whom vrine hath overcome,
because of the Lord,* and because of the
words « of his holiness.
10 Eor the land is^ full of adulterers;*
for because of ^ swearing « the land mourn-
eth ; the pleasant places of the wilderness
are dried up, and their "course is evil,
and their force is not right.
11 For both« prophet and priest are
profane ; yea, in my nouse/ have I foimd
their wickedness, saith the Lord.
12 Wherefore their way J' shall be unto
them as sUppery tvays in the darkness ;
they shall be driven on, and fall therein:
for I will brin§ evil upon them, even the
year of their visitation," saith the Lord.
13 And I have seen /^ folly in the pro-
phets of Samaria; they prophesied in
Baal,* and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Je-
rusalem ''an horrible thing: they commit
adultery, and walk in lies :' they strength-
en"* also the hands of evildoers, that none
doth return from his wickedness : they are
aU of them unto me as Sodom," and the
inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of
hosts concerning the prophets. Behold, I
will feed them with wormwood,' and

from the prophets of Jerusalem is /3pro-
faneness gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts. Heark-
en not unto the Avords of the prophets that
prophesy unto 5;ou; they make you vain:
they speak a vision of their own heart,
and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They« say still unto them that de-
spise me. The Lord hath said. Ye shall
have peace: and they say unto every one
that walketh after the y imagination of his
own heart. No'' evil shall come upon you.
18 For who hath stood in the ^ counsel
of the Lord, and hath perceived and
heard his word? whoi' hath marked his
wordjand heard it ?
19 Behold, a whirlwind* of the Lord
is gone forth in fury, even a grievous
whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon
the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the Loim shall not
return, until he have executed, and till
he have performed' the thoughts of his
heart : in the latter days ye shall consider
it perfectlj%
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet
they ran : I have not spoken to them, yet
they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel,
and had caused my people to hear my
words, thenP they should have turned
them from their evil way, and from the
evil of their doings.
23 Am 1 a God at hand, saith the LOED,
and not a God afar off?
24 Can any hide" himself in secret
E^.aces that I shall not see him ? saith the
ORD. Do not I fill heaven' and earth?
saith the Lord.
25 I have heard what the prophets said,
that prophesy Hes in my name, 6a}ing, 1
have dreamed, I have dreamed,
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the
prophets that prophesy hes ? yea, the// are
prophets of the deceit of their own lieart ;
27 Which think to cause my people to for-
get my name by their dreams, which they
teU every man to his neighbour, as their
fathers y have forgotten my name lor Baal.
28 The prophet 'Jthat hath a dream, let
him tell a dream ; and he that hath my word,
let him speak my word faithfuDy. What
is the chaff to the wheat ? saith the Lord.
29 Is not my word*^ like as a fire ? saith
the Lord ; and like a hammer that break-
eth the rock in pieces ?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the
prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my
words every one from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets,
saith the Lord, that ^use their tongues,
and say. He saith.
32 Behold, I am agamst them that pro-
phesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and
do teU them, and cause my people to» err
by their Hes, and by their lightness; yet
I sent them not, nor commanded them:
therefore they shall not profit this people
at all, saith the Lord.
33 And when this people, or the prophet,
or a priest, shall ask thee, saying. What
is the burden" of the Lord? thou shalt
then say unto them, What burden? I wiU
even forsake^ you, saith the Lord.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest,
and the people, that shall say. The burden
of the liORD, I win even '^punish that
man and his house.

35 Thus shall ye say every one to his
neighboui*, and every one to his brother,
What hath the Loed answered? and,
What hath the Loed spoken?
36 And the burden of the Loed shall
ye mention no more ; for every <* man's
word shall be his burden : for ye have
perverted*^ the words of the living G-od,
of the Loed of hosts our God.
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet,
What hath the Loed answered thee?
and, What hath the Loed spoken ?
38 But since ye say, The burden of the
Loed; therefore thus saith the Loed,
Because ye say this word. The burden of
the Loed, and I have sent unto you,
saying. Ye shall not say, The burden of
the Loed ;
39 Therefore, «' behold, I, even I, will ut-
terly forget you, and I will forsake you,
and the city that I gave you and your fa-
thers, and cast you out of my presence :
40 And I will bring an everlasting re-
proach'' upon you, and a perpetual shame,
which shall not be forgotten.
^ CHAPTER XXIV.
XHE Loed shewed me, and, behold,
two baskets of figs loere set before the
temple of the Loed, after that Nebuchad-
rezzar^ king of Babylon had carried away
captive Jeconiah"* the son of Jehoiakim,
king of Judah, and the princes of Judali,
with the carpenters and smiths," from Jeru-
salem, and had brought them to Babylon.
2 One basket had very good figs, even
like the figs thai are first ripe; and the
other basket had very naughty figs, which
could not be eaten, ^ they were so bad.
3 Then said the Loed unto me. What
seest thou, Jeremiah ? And I said, Figs ; the
good figs, very good; and^ the evil, very
evO, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
4 Again the word of the Loed came
unto me, saying,
5 Thus saith the Loed, the G-qd of Is-
rael, Like these good figs, so will I ac-
knowledge them ^that are carried away
captive of Judah, whom I have sent out
of this place into the land of the Chal-
deans for their^ good.
6 For I wiU set mine eyes upon them
for good, and" I wiU bring them again to
this land : and I wiU build them, and not
puU them down; and I will plant them,
and not pluck them up.
7 And I win give them an heart'' to
know me, that I am the Loed ; and they
shall be my* people, and I wiU be their
G-od: for they shaU. return imto me with
their whole" heart.
8 And as the evil figs, which cannot be
eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith
the Loed, So wiU I give Zedekiah the
king of Judah, and his princes, and the resi-
due of Jerusalem, that remain in this land,
and them that dwell in the land of Egypt ;
9 And I vnll deliver them ^to be« re-
moved into aU the kingdoms of the earth
for their hurt, to he a reproach and a
proverb, a taunt/ and a curse, in all places
whither I shall drive them.
10 Audi* I win send the sword, the fa-
mine, and the pestilence, among them, tiU
they be consumed from ofi" the land that I
gave unto them and to their fathers.

king of Judah, that was the first year of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ;
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake
unto all the people of Judah, and to all
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, sajing,
3 From*^ the thirteenth year of Josiah the
son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this
day, that is the three and twentieth year,
the word of the Loed hath come unto me,
and I have spoken unto you, rising'^ early
and speaking ; but ye have not* hearkened.
4 And the Loed hath sent unto you all
his servants the prophets, rising early and
sending them ; but ye have not hearkened,
nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 They said,/ Turn ye again now every
one from his evil way, and from the evil
of your doings, and dwell in the land that
the Loed hath given unto you and to
your fathers for ever and ever :
6 And go not after other gods to serve
them, and to worship them, and provoke
me' not to anger with the works of your
hands ; and I will do you no hurt.
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me,
saith the Loed; that ye might provoke
me to anger with the works of your hands
to your own* hurt.
8 Therefore thus saith the Loed of hosts,
Because ye have not heard my words,
9 Behold, I wiU send and take all the
families of the north, saith the Loed, and
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my
servant," and will bring them against this
land, and against the inhabitants thereof,
and against aU these nations round about,
and wiU utterly destroy them, and make
them an astonishment, and an hissing,
and perpetual desolations.
10 Moreover, I wiU 7 take from them
the voice' of mirth, and the voice of glad-
ness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the
voice of the bride, the*" sound of the mill-
stones, and the light of the candle.
11 And this whole land shall be a deso-
lation,* ami an astonishment; and these
nations shall serve the king of Babylon
seventy* years.
12 And it shall come to pass, when
seventy years are accompKshed, that I
will f punish the king of Babylon, and that
nation, saith the Loed, for their iniquity,
and the land of the Chaldeans, and"* will
make it perpetual desolations.
13 Andy I w^ni_ bring upon that land
all my words which I have pron9imced
against it, even all that is written in this
book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied
against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings
shall serve* themselves of them also : and
I will recompense them according to their
deeds, and according to the works of their
own hands.
15 For thus saith the Loed God of Is-
rael imto me. Take the wine cup« of this
fury at my hand, and cause all the nations
to whom I send thee to drink it.
16 And* they shall drink, and be moved,
and be mad, because of the sword that I
win send among them.
17 Then took I the cup at the Loed's
hand, and made aU the nations to drink,
unto whom the Loed had sent me :
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities
of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the
princes thereof, to* make them a desola-
tion, an astonishment, an hissing, and a
curse ; as it is this day j
General desolation predicted. JEREMIAH, XXVI.
19 Pharaoli" king of Egypt, and his ser-
vants, and liis princes, and all liis people ;

and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron,
and the remnant of « Ashdod^
21 Edom/ and Moab, and the children
of Ammon,
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all

24 And aU the kin^s of Arabia, and

2Q And all' the kings of the north, far
and near, one with another^ and all the
kingdoms of the world, which are upon
the face of the earth: and the king of
Sheshach" shall drink after them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them,
Thus saith the Loed of hosts, the God of
Israel ; Drink" ye, and be p drunken, and
spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of
the sword which I will send among you.
28 And it shall be if they refiise to
take the cup at thine hand to drink, then
shalt thou say unto them. Thus saith the
Lord of hosts, Ye shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil* on
the city ^ which is called by my name,
and should ye* be utterly unpunished?
Ye shall not be unpunished : for I wiU
call" for a sword upon all the inhabitants
of the earth, saith the Loed of hosts.
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them
all these words, and say unto them. The
Loed shall roar" from on high, and utter
his voice from his holy w* habitation; he shall
mightily roar upon his habitation ; he shall
give a shout, as they* that tread the grapes^
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends
of the earth : for the Loed hath a con-
troversy with the nations; he^ will plead
with aU flesh : he wiU give them thai are
wicked to the sword, saith the Loed.
32 Thus saith the Loed of hosts, Be-
hold, evil shall go forth from nation to
nation," and a great whirlwind shall be
raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain* of the Loed shaE be
at that day from one end of the earth even
unto the other end of the earth : they shall
not be lamented, neither gathered, nor
buried; they shall be dung upon the
ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry;« and
wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye prin-
cipal of the flock : for " the days of your
slaughter and of your dispersions are
accomplished; and ye shall fall like a
K pleasant vessel.
35 And "the shepherds shall have no
way to flee, nor the principal of the flock
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
and an howling of the principal of the
flock, shall be heard : for the Loed hath
spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are
cut down, because of the fierce anger of
the Loed.

y CHAPTER XXVI.
J-N the beginning of the reign of Jehoi-
akim, the son of Josiah kiug of Judah,
came this word from the Loed, saying,
2 Thus saith the Loed, Stand in the
court of the Loed's house, and speak
unto all the cities of Judah, which como
to worship in the Loed's house, all J' the
words that I command thee to speak
unto them ; diminish not a word :
3 If so be they wOl hearken and turn
every man from his evil way, that I may
repent* me of the evD, which I purpose
to do unto them because of the evil of
their doings.
4 And thou shalt say unto them. Thus
saith the Loed, If* ye will not hearken
to me. to walk in my law, which I have
set before you,
5 To hearken to the words of my ser-
vants the prophets, whom I sent"' unto
you, both rising up early, and sending
them, but ye have not hearkened ;
6 Then will I make this house like
Shiloh,9 and will make this city a''cm'se
to aU the nations of the earth.
7 So the priests, and the prophets, and
all the people, heard Jeremiah speaking
these words in the house of the Loed.
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah
had made an end of speaking aU that the
Loed had commanded him to speak unto
all the people, that the priests, and the
prophets, and aU the people, took him,
saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9 Why hast thou prophesied in the
name of the Loed, saying, This house
shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall
be desolate without an inhabitant? And
aU the people were gathered against Je-
remiah in the house of the Loed.
10 When the princes of Judah heard
these things, then they came up fi'om the
king's house unto the house of the Loed,
and sat down lin the entry of the new
gate of the Loed's house.
11 Then spake the priests and the pro-
phets imto the princes, and to all the
people, saying, ^ This man is worthy to
die ; for* he hath prophesied against this
city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the
princes, and to all the people, sa)'iug.
The Loed sent me to prophesy against
this house, and against this city, all the
words that ye have heard.
13 Therefore now amend « your ways,
and your doings, and obey the voice of
the Loed yoiar God ; and the Lord wiU
repent him of the evil that he hath pro-
nounced against you.
14 As for me, behold, I am m your
hand; do with me as '^seemeth good
and meet unto you : , , ^ .«
15 But know ye for certain, that it ye
put me to death, ye shall surely bring in-
nocent blood upon yourselves, and upon
this city, and upon the inhabitants there-
of: for of a truth the Loed hath sent
me ujito you to speak all these words in
your ears.
16 Then said the prmces and all the
people unto the jpriests and to tne pro-
Ehets, This man is not worthy to die : for
e hath spoken to us in the name of the
Loed our Grod.
483
Martyrdom of Urljah.
JEREMIAH, XXVII. Submission to Nehuchadnezzar.
17 Then" rose up certain of the elders
of the land, and spake to all the assembly
of the people, saying,
18 Micah the Morasthite* prophesied
in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,
and spake to aU the people of Judah,
saying. Thus saith the Loed of hosts,
Ziou shall be plowed <* liJce 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 Loed, and besought the
yLoED, and the Loed repented^ him
of the evil which he had pronounced a-
gainst them? Thus might we procure
great evil against oiu" souls.
20 And there was also a man that pro-
phesied in the name of the Loed, Unjah
the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim,
who prophesied against this city, and
against this land, according to all the
words of Jeremiah :
21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with
all his mighty men, and all the princes,
heard his words, the king sought'' to put
him to death ; but w^hen Urijah heard it, he
was afraid, and fled,^ and went into Eg^pt.
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into
Egypt, namely, Ebiathan the son of Ach-
bor, and certain men with him into Egypt :
23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of
Egypt^ and brought him unto Jehoiakim
the kmg, who slew him with the sword,
and cast his dead body into the graves of
the i common people.
24 Nevertheless, the hand of Ahikam"
the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah,
that they should not give him into the
hand of p the people to put him to death.
-|- CHAPTER XXVII.
JLN the beginning of the reign of Jehoia-
kim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
came this word unto Jeremiah from the
Loed, saying,
2 Thus ^ saith the Loed to mc. Make
thee* bonds and yokes, and put them
upon thy neck,
3 And send them to the king of Edom,
and to the king of Moab, and to the king
of the Ammonites, and to the king of
Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the
hand of the messengers which come to
Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah ;
4 And command them ^to say unto
their masters. Thus saith the Loed of
hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye
gay unto your masters ;
5 1" have made the earth, the man and
the beast that are upon the ground, by
my great power, and by my outstretched
arm, and nave given it* unto whom it
seemed meet unto me.
6 And now have I given all these lands in-
to the hand of Nebuchadnezzary the king
of Babylon, my servant ;* and the beasts" of
the field have 1 given him also to serve him.
7 And* all nations shall serve him, and
his son, and his son's son, until the very
time of** his land come; and then* many
nations and great kings shall serve them-
selves of him.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the
nation and kingdom which will not serve
the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of
Babylon, and that will not put their neck
imder the yoke of the king of Babylon,
that nation will I punish, saith the Loed,

^^ CHAPTER XXXIIL
Moreover, the word of the lord
came unto Jeremiah the second time,
while he was yet shut upi' in the court
of the prison, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord, the maker there-
of,-? the Lord that formed it, to establish
it ; ^ The Lord is his* name ;
3 CaU^ unto me, and I will answer thee,
and shew thee great and ^ mighty things,
which thou knowest not.
4 For thus saith the Lord, the God of
Israel, concerning the houses of this citj^,
and concerning the houses of the kings of
Judah, which are thrown down by the
mounts," and by the sword;
5 They come to fight with the Chal-
deans, but^ it is to fill them with the dead
bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine
anger, and in my fury, and for all whose
wickedness I have hid my face from this
city.
6 Behold, I '"will bring it health and cure,
and I will cure them, and will reveal unto
them the abundance* of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Ju-
dah, and the captivity of Israel, to return,
and will build them as" at the first.
8 And I wiU cleanse" them from aU their
iniquity, whereby they have sinned against
me ; and I will pardon*" aU their iniquities,
whereby they have sinned, and whereby
they have transgressed against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a
praise^ and an honour before aU the nations
of the earth, which shall hear all the good
that I do unto them: and they shall « fear
and tremble for all the goodness, and for
all the prosperity, that I procure unto it.
10 Thus saith the Lord, Again there
shall be heard in this place, which ye say
shall he desolate without man and without
beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in
the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate
without man, and without inhabitant, and
without beast, ^ , . n
11 The voice "^ of jo)\ and the voice ot
gladness; the voice of the bridegroom,
and the voice of the bride ; the voice ot
them that shall say. Praise f the Lord of
hosts : for the Lord is good; for his mer-
cy endureth for ever : and of them that
shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the
house of the Lord. For I wiU cause to
return the captivity of the land, as at tlie
first, saith the Lord. ^ , ^ a •
12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts. Again
in this place, which is desolate ^vithout
man and without beast, and in all the ci-
ties thereof, shall be an habitation ot shep-
herds causing their flocks' to he down. _
13 In the cities of the mountains,"' in
the cities of the vale, and in the cities of
the south, and in the land oi Benjamin,
and in the places about Jerusalem, and
in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass
again under the hands of him that telJetli
them, saith the Lord.
14 Behold, the days come, saith tJie
Lord, that I will perform that good thing
Babylonish captivity predicted, J E R E
which I have promised unto the liouse of
Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that time, will 1
cause the Branch" of righteousness to grow
up unto David ; and he shall execute judg-
ment and righteousness* in the land.
16 In* those days shall Judah be saved,
and Jerusalem shaU dwell safely: and
tliis is the name wherewith she shall be
called, ^ The Lord our' Righteousness.
17 For thus saith the Lord, V David
shall never/ want a man to sit upon the
throne of the house of Israel ;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites
want a man before me to offer* burnt
offerings, and to kindle meat offerings,
and to do sacrifice continually.
19 And the word of the Lord came
unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the Lord, If' ye can break
my covenant of the day, and my cove-
nant of the night, and that there should
not be day and night in theu' season ;
21 Then may also my covenant *" be
broken with David my servant, that he
should not have a son to reign upon his
throne ; and with the Levites the priests,
my ministers.
22 As the host of heaven »* cannot be
numbered, neither the sand of the sea
measured; so" wiU I multiply the seed
of David my servant, and the Levites
that minister imto me.
23 Moreover the word of the Lord
came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Oonsiderest thou not what this peo-
Ele have spoken, saying. The two? fami-
es which the Lord hath chosen, he hath
even cast them off? thus they have de-
spised my people, that they should be no
more a nation before them.
25 Thus saith the Lord, If my covenant le
not vrith day and night, and if I have not ap-
pointed the ordinances of heaven and earth ;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of
Jacob, and David my servant, so that I
Avill not take any of his seed to he rulers
over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob : for ' I will cause their captivity
to return, and have mercy on them.
rp CHAPTER XXXIV.
J- HE word which came unto Jeremiah
from the Lord, when" Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and all his army, and
all the kingdoms of the earth ^ of his do-
minion, and all the people, fought against
Jerusalem, ^ and against all the cities
thereof, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is-
rael, Go and speak to Zedekiah king of
Judah, and tell him, Thus _ saith the
Lord, Behold, I* will give this city into
the hand of the king of Babylon, and he
shall burn it with fire.
3 And thou shalt not escape out of his
hand, but shalt surely be taken, and deli-
vered into his hand; and thine eyes shall
behold the eyes of the king of Babylon,
and ^he shall speak with thee mouth to
mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zede-
kiah king of Judah ; Thus saith the Lord
of thee. Thou shalt not die by the sword ;
5 But thou shalt die in peace : and with
the burnings'^ of thy fathers, the former
kings which were before thee, so shall
they burn odozirs for thee ; and they will
lament* thee, saymg. Ah, lord! for I have
pronounced the word, saith the Lord.

6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all
these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah
in Jerusalem,
7 When the king of Babylon's army fought
against Jerusalem, and against all the cities
of Judah that were left, against Lachish,
and against Azekah: for'' these defenced
cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 This is the word that came unto Jere-
miah from the Lord, after that the king
Zedekiah had made a covenant with all
the people which were at Jerusalem, to
proclaim liberty^' unto them ;
9 That* every man should let his man-
servant, and every man his maidservant,
being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go
free; that none should serve himself of
them, to wit, of a Jew his* brother.
10 Now, when all the princes, ^ and all
the people which had entered into the
covenant, heard that every one should
let his manservant, and every one his
maidservant, go free, that none should
serve themselves of them any more, theu
they obeyed, and let them go.
11 But afterward they turned, and
caused the servants and the handmaids,
whom they had let go free, to return, and
brought them into subjection for servants
and lor handmaids.
12 Therefore the word of the Lord came
to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is-
rael, I made a covenant with your fathers
in tne day that I brought them forth out
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondmen, saying,
14 At? the end of seven years, let ye go
every man his brother an Hebrew, which
hath ^ been sold unto thee ; and when he
hath served thee six years, thou shalt let
him go free from thee: but your fathers
hearkened not unto me, neither inclined
their ear.
15 And ye were ^now turned, and had
done right in my sight, in proclaiming
liberty every man to his neighbour: and
ye had made a covenant* before me in the
house V which is called by my name :
16 But ye turned, and polluted my" name,
and caused every man his servant, and
every man his handmaid, whom he had set
at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and
brought them into subjection,'" to be unto
you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye
have not hearkened unto me, in proclaim-
ing liberty, every one to his brother, and
every man to his neighbour : behold, I pro-
claim* a liberty for you, saith the Lord,
toy the sword, to the pestilence, and to the
famine; and I will make you "to be re-
moved ° into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 And I will give the men that have
transgressed my covenant, which have
not performed the words of the covenant
which they had made before me,* when
they cut the calf in twain, and passed
between the parts thereof,
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes
of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests,
and all the people of the land, which
passed between the parts of the calf ;
20 I win even give them into the hand of
their enemies, and into the hand of them
that seek their life : and their dead'' bodies
shall be for meat unto the fowls of the
heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his

princes, will I give into tlie hand of their
enemies, and into the hand of them that
seek their life, and into the hand of the
king of Babylon's army, which* are gone
up from you.
22 Behold, I will command, saith the
LoED, and cause them to retiu-n to this
city; and they'' shall fight against it,
and take*^ it, and burn it with fire : and
I will make the cities of Judah a desola-
tion without* an inhabitant.
r^ CHAPTER XXXV.
JLHE word which came unto Jeremiah
from the Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites,^'
and speak unto them, and bring them into
the house of the Loed, into one of the
chambers,* and give them wine to drink.
3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Je-
remiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his
brethren, and all his sons, and the whole
house of the Rechabites ;
4 And I brought them into the house
of the Loed, into the chamber of the sons
of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of
God, which ^vas by the chamber of the
princes, which was above the chamber
of Maaseiah, the son of ShaUum,' the
keeper'" of the y door :
5 And I set before the sons of the house
of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and
cups, and I said unto them, Drink j'-e wine.
6 But they said, We will drink no wine :
for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father,
commanded us, saying. Ye shall drink no
\vine, neither ye nor your sons for ever :
7 Neither shall ye build house, nor
sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have
any : but all your days ye shall dwell in
tents ; 1 that ye may live many days in
the land where ye he strangers.*
8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of
Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father,
in all that he hath charged us, to drink
no wine aU our days, we, our wives, our
sons, nor our daughters ;
9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell
in; neither have we vineyard, nor field,
nor seed :
10 But we have dwelt* in tents, and
have obeyed, and done according to all
that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchad-
rezzar king of Babylon came up into the
land, that we said, Come, and let us go to
Jerusalem for fear of the army of the
Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of
the Syrians : so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 Then came the word of the Loed
unto Jeremiah, saying,
13 Thus saith the Loed of hosts, the
God of Israel, Go and tell the men of
Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Will ye not receive instruction*' to hearken
to my words ? saith the Loed.
14 The words of Jonadab the son of Re-
chab, that he commanded his sons not to
drink wine, are performed; for unto this
day they drink none, but obey their father's
commandment : notwithstanding* I have
spoken unto you, rising early and speak-
ing ; but ye hearkened not unto me.
15 I p have sent also unto you aU my ser-
vants the prophetSj* rising up early and
sending them^ saymg, Return* ye now
every man from his evil way, and amend
your doings, and go not after other gods
to serve them, and ye shaU dwell in the

land which I have given to you and to
your fathers ; but ye" have not inclined
your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
16 Because the sons of Jonadab the
son of Rechab, have performed the com*
mandment of their father, which he com-
manded them; but this people hath not
hearkened unto me :
17 Therefore thus saith the Loed God
of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I
will bring upon Judah, and upon all the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil
that I have pronounced against them:/
because I have spoken unto them, but they
have not heard; and I have called unto
them, but they have not answered.
18 And Jeremiah said unto the house
of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Loed
of hosts, the God of Israel, Because* ye
have obeyed the commandment of Jona-
dab your father, and kept all his precepts,
and done according unto all that he hath
commanded you ;
19 Therefore thus saith the Loed of
hosts, the God of Israel, ^Jonadab the
son of Rechab shall not want a man to
stand* before me for ever.
. CHAPTER XXXVI.
-tLND it came to pass, in the fourth year
of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah. that this word came unto Jere-
miah nfom the Loed, saying,
2 Take thee a roll" of a book, and write"
therein aU the words that I have spoken
unto thee against Israel, and against Ju-
dah, and against aU the nations,^ from
the day I spake unto thee, from the days
of Josiah, even unto this day.
3 It may be'' that the house of Judah
will hear all the evil which I purpose to
do unto them ; that they may return '
every man from his evil way, that I may
forgive" their iniquity and their sin.
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch," the
son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from
the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of
the Loed, which he had spoken unto
him, upon a roll"* of a book.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch,
saying, I am shut up: I cannot go into
the house of the Loed :
6 Therefore go thou, and read?' in the
roll, which thou hast written from my
mouth, the words of the Loed, in the
ears of the people, in the Loed's house
upon the fasting day : ' and also thou
shalt read them in the ears of all Judah
that come out of their cities.
7 It" may be 5 they will present their sup-
plication before the Loed, and will return
every one from his evil way: for great*
is the anger and the fury that the Loed
hath pronounced against this people.
8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did
according to all that Jeremiah the pro-
phet commanded him, reading in the
book the words of the Loed in"^ the
Loed's house. .
9 And it came to pass, m the fifth year
of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah, in the ninth month, that they pro-
claimed a fast/ before the LoED to all
the people in Jerusalem, and to all the
people that came fi-om the cities of Judah
unto Jerusalem.
10 Then read* Baruch in the book the
words of Jeremiah in the house of the
Loed, in the chamber of Gemariah the
son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher
Jei'emiaVs roll consumed.

court, at the Gentry" of the new gate of the
Loed's house, in the ears of all the people.
11 AVhen Michaiah the son of Gemariah,
the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the
book all the words of the Lokd,
12 Then he went down into the kings
house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo,
all the princes sat there, even EUshama the
scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah,
and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Ge-
raariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah
the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 Then Michaiah declared unto them all
the words that he had heard, when Baruch
read the book in the ears of the people.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi
the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemi-
ah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying,
Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou
hast read in the ears of the people, and
come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took
the roU in his hand, and came unto them.
15 And they said unto him, Sit down
now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch
read it in their ears.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had
heard all the words, they were afraid both
one and other, and said unto Baruch, We
wiU surely tell the king of aU these words.
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell
us now. How didst thou write all these
words at his mouth ?
18 Then Baruch answered them, He
pronounced £' all these words unto me
with his mouth, and I wrote them with
ink in the book.
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch,
Gro, hide* thee, thou and Jeremiah, and
let no man know where ye be.
20 And they went in to the king into
the court, but they laid up the roll in the
chamber of EUshama the scribe, and told
aU the words in the ears of the king.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the
roU : and he took it out of EHshama the
scribe's chamber : and Jehudi read it » in
the ears of the king, and in the ears of all
the princes which stood beside the king.
22 Now the _ king sat in the winter
house," in the ninth month : and there was
afire on the hearth burning before him.
23 And it came to pass, that when Je-
hudi had read three or four leaves, he cut
it 9 with the penknife, and cast it into the
fire that was on the hearth, until aU the
roll was consumed in the fire that was on
the hearth.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent
their garments,' neither the king, nor any
of his servants that heard aU these words.
25 Nevertheless, Elnathan, _ and Delai-
ah, and G-emariah, had made intercession*
to the king that he would not burn the
roll ; but he « would not hear them.
26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel
the son of * Hammelech, and Seraiah the
son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of
Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe, and
Jeremiah the prophet: but^ the Lord
hid them.
27 Then the word of the Lokd came to
Jeremiah, after that the king had burned
the roll, and the words which Baruch
wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 Take thee again another roll, and
write in it all the former words* that
were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim
the king of Judah hath burned.

king of Judah, Thus saith the Lo"RD,
Thou hast burned this roU, saying. Why
hast thou written therein, saj-ing, The
king of Babj^lon shall certainly come
and destroy this land, and shaU cause to
cease from thence man and beast ?
30 Therefore thus saith the Lord of
Jehoiakim king of Judah, He shall have
none to sit upon the throne of David ; and
his* dead body shall be cast out in the day
to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 And I will y punish him, and his seed,
and his servants, for their iniquity ; and I*^
will bring upon them, and upon the inha-
bitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of
Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced
against them : but they"^ hearkened not.
32 Then took Jeremiah another roll,
and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son
of Neriah ; who wrote therein, from the
mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the
book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had
burned in the fire : and there were added
besides unto them many ^ like words.

-A.ND king Zedekiah,' the son of Josiah,
reigned instead of Coniah the son of Je-

Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2 But/ neither he, nor his servants, nor
the people of the land, did hearken unto
the words of the Lord, which he spake
^by the prophet Jeremiah.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehueal
the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the
son* of Maaseiah the priest, to the pro-
phet Jeremiah, saying. Pray now* unto
the Lord our G-od for us. ^
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out
among the people; for they had not put
him into prison.
5 Then' Pharaoh's army was come forth

that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of
them, they departed™ from Jerusalem.
6 Then came the word of the Lord
unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
7 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Is-
rael, Thus shall ye say to the king of Ju-
dah, that sent^ you unto me to inquire of
me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is
come forth to help you, shall return to
Egypt into their own land.
8 And'" the Chaldeans shall come again,
and fight against this city, and take it,
and burn it with fire.
9 Thus saith the Lord, Deceive* not
1 yourselves, saying. The Chaldeans shall
surely depart from us : for they shall not
depart.
10 For" though ye had smitten the
whole army of the Chaldeans that fight
against you, and there remained bnt
^wounded men among them, pet' should
they rise up every man in his tent, and
burn this city with fire.
11 And it came to pass, that when the ar-
my of the Chaldeans was ^ broken up from
Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Je-
rusalem to go into the land of Benjamin,
to /* separate himself thence in the midst
of the people.
13 And when he was in the gate of
Benjamin, a captain of the ward tvas
there, whose name iuas Irijah, the son of
Shelemiah, the son of Hanamah : and he
took Jeremiah the prophet, saj-ing, Thou
fallest away to the Chaldeans.
JeTemiah imprisoited.
14 Then said Jeremiah, It is ^ false," I
fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he
hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Je-
remiah^ and brought him to the princes.
15 Wherefore the princes were ^vroth
with Jeremiah, and smote'' him, and put
him in prison in the house of Jonathan the
scribe ; for they had made that the prison.
16 "When Jeremiah was entered into
the dungeon,** and into the ^cabins, and
Jeremiah had remained there many days ;
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took
him out ; and the king asked him secretly in
his house, and said, Is there any word from
the Lord ? And Jeremiah said. There is :
for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into
the hand of the king of Babylon.
18 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto king
Zedekiah, What have* I offended agaiust
thee, or against thy servants, or against
tliis people, that ye have put me in prison ?
19 Where-'' are now your prophets
which prophesied unto you, sayuig. The
king of Babylon shall not^ come against
you, nor against this land ?
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O
my lord the king: let my supplication, I
pray thee, ^ be accepted before thee ; tnat
tliou cause me not to return to the house
of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
21 Then Zedekiah the king conmianded
that they should commit tferemiah into
the court* of the prison, and that they
should give him daily a piece of* bread
out of the bakers' street, until all the bread
in the city were spent. »» Thus Jeremiah
remained in the court of the prison.
rp CHAPTER XXXVIII.
XHEN" Shephatiah the son of Mattan,
and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal"
the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur? the son of
Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah
had spoken unto all the people, saying,
2 Thus saith the Loed, He that re-
maineth in this city shall die by the
sword, by the famiae, and by the pesti-
lence : but he that goeth forth to the
Chaldeans shaU live; for he shall have
his life for a prey, and shall live.
3 Thus saith the Loed, This city shall
surely be given into the hand of the king
of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
4 Therefore the princes said unto the
king. We beseech thee, let this man be
put to death;" for thus he weakeneth
the hands of the men of war that remaui
in this city, and the hands of all the
people, in speaking such words unto
them ; for tliis man seeketh not the >^ wel-
fare of this people, but the hurt.
5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold,
he is in your hand: for the king is not
he that can do any thing against you.
6 Then* took they Jeremiah, and cast
him into the dungeon of Malchiah the
son of M-Hammelech, that was in the
court of the prison : and they let down
Jeremiah with cords. And in the dun-
geon there tvas no water, but mire ; so
Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
7 Now when Ebed-melech* the Ethio-
pian, one of the eunuchs which was in
the king's house, heard that they had put
Jeremiah in the dungeon, the king then
sitting in the gate of Benjamin,
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the
king's house, and spake to the king, saying,

rp CHAPTER XL.
JLHE word that came to Jeremiah
from the Loed, after that Nebuzar-adan
the captain of the guard had let him' go
from Ramah, when he had taken him,
being boimd in 7 chains among all that
were carried away captive of Jerusalem
and Judah, which w^re carried away
captive unto Babylon.
2 And the captain of the guard took
Jeremiah, and" said imto him. The Loed
thy God hath pronounced this evil upon
this place.
3 Now the Loed hath brought it, and
done according as he hath said:" because
ye have sinned against the Loed, and
have not obeyed his voice, therefore this
thing is come upon you.
4 And now, behold, I loose thee this
day from the chains which ^toere upon
thine hand. If >■ it seem good unto thee to
come with me into Babylon, come, and I
will i?look well unto thee: but if it seem
iU unto thee to come with me into Baby-
lon, forbear : behold, all the land is before
thee: whither it seemeth good and con-
venient for thee to go, thither go.
5 Now, while he was not yet gone
back, he said. Go back also to* Gedahah
the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,
whom the king of Babylon hath made
governor over the cities of Judah, and
dwell with him among the people; or
go wheresoever it seemeth convenient
unto thee to go. So the captain of the
guard gave him victuals and a reward,
and let him go.
6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah
the son of Ahikam, to Mi^pah;" and
dwelt vdth him among the people that
were left in the land.
7 Now when all the captains of the
forces which were in the fields, even they
and their men, heard that the king of
Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam governor in the land, and had
committed unto him men, and women,
and chUdren, and of the poor" of the
land, of them that were not carried away
captive to Babylon ;
8 Then they came to Gedahah to Miz-
pah, even Ishmael^ the son of Netha-
niah, and Johanan * and Jonathan the
sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of
Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the
Netophathite,* and Jezaniah the son of
a Maachathite,'^ they and their men.

9 And Geclaliah the son of Ahikam, the
eon of Shaphan, swai'e unto them, and to
their men, saying, Fear not to serve the
Chaldeans : dwell in the land, and serve the
king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
10 As for me, behold, I avLU dwell at
Mizpah, to ^ serve the Chaldeans Avhich
will come unto us: but ye, gather* ye
wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and
put them in your vessels, and dwell in
your cities that ye have taken.
11 Likewise, when all the Jews that
7oere in Moab,** and among the Ammon-
ites,^ and in Edom, and that tvere in all
the countries, heard that the king of Ba-
bylon had left a remnant of Judah, and
that he had set over them G-edalian the
son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan ;
12 Even all the Jews returned out of
all places whither they were driven, and
came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah,
unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and
summer fruits very much.
13 Moreover, Johanan the son of Kareah,
and all the captains of the forces that loere
in the fields, came to G-edaHah to Mizpah,
14 And said unto him, Dost thou cer-
tainly know that Baahs the king of the
Ammonites hath sent* Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah to^ slay thee? But Gredaliah
the son of Ahikam believed them not.
15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah
spake to Gredaliah in Mizpah secretly,
saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I wm
slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no
man shall know it: wherefore should he
slay thee, that all the Jews which are
gathered unto thee should be scattered,
and the remnant in Judah perish ?
16 But G-edaliah the son of Ahikam
said unto Johanan the son of Kareah,
Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou
speakest falsely of Ishmael.
^-j- CHAPTER XLL
JM OW it came to pass in the seventh
month, that Ishmael™ the son of Netha-
niah, the son of Elishama, of the seed
royal, and the princes of the king, even
ten men, with him, came imto G-edaHah
the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah ; and there
they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Netha-
niah, and the ten men that were with him,
and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,
the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and
slew him, whom the king of Babylon had
made governor over the land.
3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that
were with him, even with Gedahah at
Mizpah. and the Chaldeans that were
found tnere, and the men of war.
4 And it came to pass, the second day
after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man
knew 1 ity
5 That there came certain from She-
chem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria,
even fourscore men, having their beards
shaven, »■ and their clothes rent, and hav-
ing cut themselves, with offerings « and
incense in their hand, to bring them to
the house of the Loed.
6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went
forth from Mizpah to meet them, ^ weep-
ing all along as he went : and it came to
pass, as he met them, he said unto them,
Come to Gedahah the son of Ahikam.

the midst of the citj% that Ishmael the son
of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them

the king's daughters, and
all the people that remained in Mizpah,
whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the
guard had committed to Gedahah the son
of Ahikam : and Ishmael the son of Ne-
thaniah carried them away captive, and
departed to go over to the* Ammonites.
11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah,
and all the captains of the forces that tvere
with him, heard of all the evil' that Ish-
mael the son of Nethaniah had done,
12 Then they took all the men, and
went to fight with Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah, and found him by the great
waters' that are in Gibeon.
13 Now it came to pass, that when all
the people which toere with Ishmael saw
Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the
captains of the forces that were with him,
then they were glad.
14 So all the people that Ishmael had
carried away captive from Mizpah cast
about, and returned, and went unto Jo-
hanan the son of Kareah.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah
escaped from Johanan with eight men,
and went to the Ammonites.
16 Then took Johanan the son of Ka-
reah, and all the captains of the forces
that were with him, all the remnant of
the people whom he had recovered from
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Miz-
pah, after that he had slain Gedaliah
the son of Aliikam, even mighty men of
war, and the women, and the children,
and the eunuchs, whom he had brought
again from Gibeon :
17 And thev departed, and dwelt in the
habitation ot Chimham," which is by
Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they
were afraid of them, because Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah had slain Gedahah the
son of Ahikam, whom" the king of Baby-
lon made governor in the land.
^ CHAPTER XLIL
JL HEN all the captains^ of the forces, and
Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah
the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from
the least even unto the greatest, came near,
2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet.
Let, we beseech thee, our suppUcation
^be accepted before thee, and pray* for
us unto the Loed thy God, even for all
this remnant ; (for we are left but a few*
of many, as thine eyes do behold us ;)
3 That" the Loed thy God may shew
us the way*" wherein we may walk, and
the thing that we may do.
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto
them, I have heard ^ou; behold, I wiU
pray* unto the Loed your God according
to your words ; and it shall come to pass,
Jeremiah's address to the peoi^e. JEEEMIAH, XLIII.

that wltatsoever" thing tlie Loed shall
answer you, I will declare it unto you ; I
will keep nothing back* fi'om you.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The
LoED'' be a true and faithful witness be-
tween us ; if wo do not even according
to all things for the which the Loed thy
God shall send thee to us.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it he
evil, we will^ obey the voice of the Loed
our Grod, to whom we send thee;* that
it may be well with us, when we obey
the voice of the Loed out God.
7 And it came to pass, after ten days,
that the word of the Loed came unto
Jeremiah.
8 Then called he Johanan the son of
Kareah, and all the captains of the forces
which tvere with him, and all the people,
from the least even to the greatest,
9 And said unto them. Thus saith the
Loed, the God of Israel, unto whom ye
sent me to present your suppHcation be-
fore him ;
10 If ye will stiU abide in this land,
then wiU I bmld' you, and not pull you
down; and I will plant you, and not
pluck you up; for I repent "» me of the
evil that I have done unto you.
11 Be not afraid" of the king of
Babylon, of whom ye are afraid ; be not
afraid of him, saith the Loed : for I" am
with you to save you, and to dehver you
from liis hand.
12 And« I wiU shew mercies unto you,
that he may have mercy upon you, ana
cause you to return to your own land.
13 But if ye say. We wiU not* dwell
in this land, neither obey the voice of the
Loed your God,
14 Saying, No ; but we wiU go into the
land of Egypt, where" we shall see no
war, nor hear the soimd of the trumpet,
nor have hunger of bread ; and there will
we dwell:
15 And now, therefore, hear the word
of the Loed, ye remnant of Judah ; Thus
saith the Loed of hosts, the God of Is-
rael, If ye wholly set your faces to enter
into Egypt,* and go to sojourn there ;
16 Thenv it shall come to pass, ^)^a^ the
sword, which* ye feared, shall overtake
you there in the land of Egypt, and the
famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall
V follow close after you there in Egypt;
and there ye shall die.
17 So shall ^ it be with aU the men that
set their faces to go into Egypt, to sojourn
there ; they* shall die by the sword, by
the famine, and by the pestilence: and
none of them shall remain or escape from
the evil that I avlU bring upon them.
18 For thus saith the Loed of hosts, the
God of Israel, As* mine anger and my
fury hath been/ poured forth upon the in-
habitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury
be poured forth upon you, when ye shall
enter into Egypt: ands' ye shall be an
execration, and an astonishment, and a
curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see
this place no more.
19 The Loed hath said concernuig
you, O ye remnant of Judah, Go ye
not mto Egypt: know certainly that I
have '>! admonished you this day.
20 For ye "dissembled' in your* hearts,

And it came to pass, that when Jere-
miah had made an end of speaking unto
all the people all the words of the Loed
their God, for which the Loed their God
had sent him to them, even aU these words,
2 Then* spake Azariah the sou of Ho-
shaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah,
and all the proud* men, saying unto Jere-
miah, Thou speakest falsely: the Loed
our God hath not sent thee to say. Go
not into 'Egypt to sojourn there :
3 But Baruch the son of Neriah set-
teth thee on against us, for to deliver us
into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they
might put us to death, and carry us away
captives into Babylon.
4 So Johanan the son of Eareah, and
aU the captains of the forces, and all the
people, ooeyed not the voice of the
Loed, to dwell in the land of Judah.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and
all the captains of the forces, took all the
remnant P of Judah, that were returned
from all nations wliither they had been
driven, to dwell in the land of Judah ;
6 I^ven men, and women, and children,
and the king's daughters,'' and every per-
son that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the
guard had left* with Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah
the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
7 So" they came into the land of
Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice
of the Loed. Thus came they even to
Tahpanhes."'
8 Then came the word of the Loed
unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Take great stones in thine hand, and
hide them in the clay in the brickkiln,
which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house
in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of
Judah ;
10 And say unto them, Thus saith
the Loed of hosts, the God of Israel,
Behold, I will send and take Nebuchad-
rezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, «
and wiU set his throne upon these stones
that I have hid: and he shall spread his
royal pavilion over them.
11 And when he cometh, he shall
smite*' the land of Egypt, and deliver
such<* as are for death to death; and
such as are for captivity to captivity ; and
such as are for the sword to the sword.
12 And I will kindle a fire in the
houses of the gods* of Egypt ; and he
shall burn them, and carry them away
captives; and he shall array himself
with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd
putteth on his garment; and he shall
go forth from thence in peace.
13 He shall break also the b images of
^ Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of
Egypt; and the houses of the gods of
the Egj'ptians shall he burn with fire.

2 Thus saith the LoED of hosts, the Grod
of Israel, Ye have seen aU the evil that I
have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon
all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this
day they are a desolation, « and no man
dwelleth therein ;
3 Because^ of their wickedness which
they have committed, to provoke me to
anger, in that they went to burn incense,
and to serve other gods, whom* they knew
not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
4 Howbeit I sent'' unto you all my
servants the prophets, rising early, and
sending them^ saying. Oh, do not this

5 But" they hearkened not, nor inclined
their ear to turn from their wickedness,
to burn no incense unto other gods.
6 Wherefore my fury** and mine anger
was poured forth, and was kindled in the
cities of Judah and in the streets of Jeru-

as at this day.
7 Therefore now thus saith the Loed,
the Grod of hosts, the G-od of Israel, Where-
fore commit ye this great evil against
your^ souls, to cut off from you man and
woman, child and suckling, out ^of Ju-
dah, to leave you none to remain ;
8 In that ye provoke 9 me unto wrath
with the works of your hands, burning
incense unto other gods in the land of
Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that
ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye
might be a curse and a reproach among
all the nations of the earth?
9 Have* ye forgotten the ^wickedness
of your fathers, and the wickedness of the
kings of Judah, and the wickedness of
their wives, and your own wickedness, and
the wickedness of your wives, which they
have committed in the land of Judah, and
in the streets of Jerusalem ?
10 They are not ^humbled even unto
this day, neither have they feared,y nor
walked in my law, nor in my statutes,
that I set before you, and before your
fathers.
11 Therefore thus saith the Loed of
hosts, the &od oi Israel, Behold, I wiU
set my face*' against you for evil, and to
cut off aU Judah.
12 And I will take the remnant of Ju-
dah, that* have set their faces to go into
the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and
they shall all be consumed, and fall in
the land of Egypt; they shall even be
consumed by the sword and by the fa-
mine: they shall die, from the least
evens' unto the greatest, by the sword
and by the famine ; and they shall be an
execration, and an astonishment, and a
curse, and a reproach.
13 Eor I will punish them that dwell
in the land of Egypt, as I have punished
Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine,
and by the pestilence :
14 So that none of the remnant of Judah,
which are gone' into the land of Egypt
to sojourn there, shall escape or remain,
that they should return into the land of
Judah, to the which they ''have a desire
to return to dwell there; for none shall
return but such' as shaU escape.
15 Then all the men which knew that
their wives p had burned incense unto other

gods, and all the women that stood by, a
great multitude, even all the people that
dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros,
answered Jeremiah, saying,
16 As for the word that thou hast spoken
unto us in the name of the Lord, we''
will not hearken unto thee.
17 But we will certainly do whatsoever
thing goeth forth out of our own/ mouth,
to burn incense unto the ^ queen of hea-
ven, and to pour out drink offerings imto
her, as we have done.
and

thers, our kings, and our princes, in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jeru-
salem: for then'' had we plenty of 7 vic-
tuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 But since we left off to burn incense
to the queen of heaven, and to pour out
drink offerings unto her, we have wanted
all things^ and have been consumed by
the sword and by the famine.
19 And when we burned incense to the
queen of heaven, and poured out drink
offerings unto her, did we make her cakes
to worship her, and pour out drink offer-
ings unto her, without our ^ men ?
20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the
people, to the men, and to the women,
and to aU the people which had given
him that answer, saying,
21 The incense that ye burned in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jeru-
salem, ye, and your fathers, your kings,
and your princes, and the people of the
land, did not the Loed remember them,
and came it not into his mind ?
22 So that the Loed could no longer
bear,** because of the evil of your doings,
and because of the abominations which ye
have committed, therefore* is your land
a desolation, and an astonishment, and a
curse, without an inhabitant, as at" this
day.
23 Because jq have burned incense,"
and because ye have sinned against the
Loed, and have not obeyed the voice of
the Loed, nor walked in his law, " nor in
his* statutes, nor in his testimonies ; -
therefore* this evil is happened imto you,
as at this day.
24 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto all
the people, and to all the women. Hear
the word of the Loed, aU Judah that*
are in the land of Egypt ;
25 Thus saith the Loed of hosts, the
God of Israel, saying. Ye and your wives
have both spoken '^ with your mouths, and
fulfilled with your hand, saying. We wiU
surely perform our vows that we have
vowed, to burn incense to the queen of
heaven, and to pour out drink offerings
unto her : ye will surely accompHsh/ your
vows, and surely perform your vows.
26 Therefore hear ye the word of the
Loed, all Judah that dwell in the land of
Egypt ; Behold, I have sworn* by my great
name, saith the Loed, that' my name shall
no more be named in the mouth of any
man of Judah, in all the land of Egypt,
saying, The Lord God Hveth.
27 Behold, I wiU watch over them for
evil,* and not for good; and all the men
of Judah that are in the land of Egypt
shall be consumed™ by the sword and by
the famine, until there be an end of them.
28 Yet™ a small number that escape the
sword shall return out of the land of Egypt
into the land of Judah ; and all the rem-
nant of Judah, that are gone into the land

words shall stand, ^mine, "or their's.
29 And this shall he a sign unto you,
saith the Lokd, that I will punish you in
this place, that ye may know that my words
shall surely stand against you for evil :
30 Thus saith the Lokd, Behold, I will«
give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt mto
the hand of his enemies, and into the
hand of them that seek his life, as I gave
Zedekiah/ king of Judah into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his
euem}-, and that sought his life.
^ CHAPTER XLV.
JLHE word that Jeremiah the prophet
spake imto Baruch* the son of Jtferiah,
when he had written these words in a
book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the
fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord, the Grod of
Israel, imto thee, O Baruch ;
3 Tnou didst say, Woe is me now ! ^ for
the Lokd hath added grief to my sorrow ; I
fainted"' in my sighing, and I find" no rest.
4 Thus shalt thou say imto him. The
LoED saith thus. Behold, that which I
have bunt will I break down," and that
which I have planted I will pluck up,
even this whole land.
5 And seekest thou great things for
thyself? seek them not :p for, behold, I
will bring evil? upon all flesh, saith the
LoED ; but thy life will I give unto thee
for a prey* in all places whither thou
goest.
r^ CHAPTER XLYI.
xHE word of the Loed which came
to Jeremiah the prophet against the"
Gentiles ;
2 Against Egypt, againsf" the army of
Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, which was
by the river Euphrates in Carchemish,
which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 Orders ye the buckler and shield,
and draw near to battle.
4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye
horsemen, and stand forth with your hel-
mets; furbish the spears, and put on the
brigandines.
5 Wherefore have I seen them dis-
mayed and turned away back? and their
mighty ones' are ^beaten down, and are
fled "apace, and look not back: /or" fear
loas round about, saith the Loed.
6 Let not the swift* flee away, nor the
mighty man escape; they shall stumble,*'
and fall toward the north by the river
Euphrates.
7 Who is this that cometh up as a« flood,
whose waters are moved as the rivers ?
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his
waters are moved like the rivers; and he
saith, l9 will go up, and will cover the
earth J I will destroy the city and the
mhabitants thereof.
9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye
chariots ; and let the mighty men come
forth; the f* Ethiopians and the •'Libyans,
that hancUe the shield ; and the Lydians,
that handle and bend the' bow.

11 Go up iiito Gilead, and take* balm,
O virgin, "^ the daughter of Egypt : in vain
shalt thou use many medicines ; for y thou
shalt not** be cured.
12 The nations have heard of thy shame,
and thy cry hath filled the land: for the
mighty man hath stumbled against the
mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13 The word that the Loed spake to
Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchad-
rezzar king of Babylon should^ come and
smite the land of Egypt.
14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in
Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in
Tahpanhes : say ye. Stand fast, and pre-
pare thee; for the sword shall devour
round about thee.
15 Why are thy valiant men swept
away ? they stood not, because' the Loed
did drive them.
16 He ^made many to fall, yea,* one
fell upon another ; and they said. Arise,
and let us go again to our own people,
and to the laud of oui- nativity, from the
oppressing sword.
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of
Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the
time appointed.
18 As I live, saith the King, whose
name is the Loed of hosts. Surely as
Tabor is among the mountains, and as
Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt,
^furnish thyself to go into »■ captivity : lor
Noph shall be waste and desolate without
an inhabitant.
20 Egypt is like a very fair* heifer, but
destruction cometh ; it cometh out of the
north."
21 Also her hired men are in the midst
of her like ^ fatted bullocks ; for they also
are turned back, and are fled away toge-
ther: they did not stand, because the day*
of their calamity was come upon them,
and the time of their visitation.
22 The voice thereof shall go like a
serpent ; for they shall march with an
army, and come against her with axes, as
hewers of wood.
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith
the Loed, though it cannot be searched;
because they are more than the grass-
hoppers, and are innumerable.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be con-
founded ; she shall be deKvered into the
hand of the people of the north.
25 The Loed of hosts, the God of Israel,
saith. Behold, I will punish ^the multi-
tude of No,** and Pharaoh, and Eg3T)t,
with their gods, and their kings ; even
Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him :
26 And/ I will deliver them into the
hand of those that seek then- lives, and
into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon, and into the hand of his servants;
and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in
the days of old, saith the Loed.
27 But fear not thou,* O my servant
Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel :
for, behold, I will save thee from afar off',
and thy seed from the land of their capti-
vity ; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest
and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

whither I have di'iveu thee ; but I v\ill not

rn CHAPTER XLVII.
XHE word of the Lord that came to
Jeremiah the prophet against the Philis-
tines,* before that Pharaoh smote 7 Gaza.''
2 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, waters
rise up out of the north,'* and shall be an
overflowing flood, and shall overflow the
land, and ^all that is therein; the city,
and them that dwell therein: then the
men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of
the land shall howl.
3 At the noisei' of the stamping of the
hoofs of his strong horses^ at the rushing
of his chariots, and at the rumbling of liis
wheels, the fathers shall not look back to
their cnildren for feebleness of hands ;
4 Because of the day that cometh to
spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off
from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that
remaineth; for the Lord will spoil the
Philistines, the remnant of the ^country
of Caphtor.*
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza;"' Ash-
kelon is cut off with the remnant of their
valley : how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword" of the Lord, how long
loill it he ere thou be quiet ? " put up thy-
self into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How '^can it be quiet, seeing the
Lord hath given it a charge^ against
Ashkelon, and against the sea shore ? there
hath he appointed? it.
. CHAPTER XLVIII.
Against Moab'- thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel, Woe unto
Nebo! for it is spoiled; Itiriathaim is
confounded and taken; /^Misgab is con-
founded and dismayed.
2 There shall he no more praise of
Moab: in Heshbon' they have devised
evil against it ; come, and let us cut it off
from heing a nation: also thou shalt be
"cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall
^ pui'sue thee.
3 A voice of crying shall he from Ho-
ronaim, spoiling and great destruction.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones
have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For in the going up of Luhith o- con-
tinual weeping shall go up ; for in the go-
ing down of Horonaim the enemies have
heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee," save your lives, and be like
I" the heath in the wilderness.
7 For because thou hast trusted* in thy
works, and in thy treasures, thou shalt
also be taken j and Chemosh" shall go
forth into captivity, with his priests'* and
his princes together.
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every
city, and no city shall escape; tne valley
also shall perish, and the plain shall be
destroyed, as the Lord hath spoken.
9 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee
and get away : for the cities thereof shall
be desolate, without any to dweU therein.
10 Cursed* he he that doeth the work of
the Lord x deceitfully, and cursed he he
that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11 Moab hath been at ease from his
youth, and he hath settled/ on his lees,
and hath not been emptied from vessel
tp vessel, neither hath he gone into cap-
tivity: therefore his taste '/'remained in
liim, and his scent is not changed.

sins of Judah, and they shaU not be found:
for I will pardon them whom I '^ reserve.
21 Go up against the land of ^ Merathaim,
even against it, and against the inhabitants
of Y Pekod : ' waste and utterly destroy af-
ter tliem, saith the LoED, and do accord-
ing to all" that I have commanded thee.
22 A sounds of battle is in the land,
and of great destruction.
23 How is the hammer 9 of the whole earth
cut asunder and broken ! how is Babylon
become a desolation among the nations !
24 I have laid a snare* for thee, and thou
art also taken, O Babylon, and" thou wast not
aware : thou art found, and also caiight, be-
cause thou hast striven against the Loed.
25 The LoED hath opened his ar-
moury, and hath brought forth the wea-
pons'" of his indignation: for this is the
work of the Lord God of hosts in the
land of the Chaldeans. , . ^
26 Come agamst her from the^ utmost
border, open her storehouses; scast her
up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let
nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks ;y let them go
down to the slaughter: woe unto theni!
for tlieu' day is come, the time of their
visitation.
28 The voice of them that flee and es-
cape out of the land of Babylon, to declare
in Zion the vengeance" of the Loed our
God, the vengeance of his temple.*
29 Call together the archers against
Babylon: all ye that bend the bow,
camp against it round about ; let none
thereof escape : recompense ^ her accord-
ing to her work; according to all that
she hath done, do unto her: for she hath
been proud against the Loed, against
the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men faU
in the streets, and all her men of war shall
be cut off in that day, saith the Loed.
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou
^most proud, saith the Lord God of
hosts: for thy day is come, the time that
I will visit thee.
32 And ^the most proud shall ^_ stum-
ble and faU, and none shall raise him up :
and I will kindle a fire' in his cities, and
it shall devour all round about him.
33 Thus saith the Loed of hosts. The
children of Israel and the children of
Judah toere oppressed together ; and all
that took them captives held them fast;
they refused to let them go.
34 Their Kedeemer is strong;^' the
Loed of hosts is his name ; he shall
throughly plead"' their cause, that he
may give rest to the land, and disquiet
the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans,
saith the Loed, and upon the inhabit-
ants of Babylon, and upon her princes,
and upon her wise* men.
36 A sword is upon the -'^ liars;* and
they shaU dote:"* a sword is upon her
mighty men ; and they shall be dismayed.

strong holds of the daughter of Judali:
he hath Y brought them down to the
ground:* he hath polluted the kingdom
and the princes thereof.
3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all
the horn of Israel : he hath drawn back
his'' right hand from before the enemy,
and he burned against Jacob like a fiara-
ing* fire, which devoureth round about.
4 He hath bent his bow like an^' ene-
my: he stood with his right hand as an
adversary, and slew all ^that were plea-
sant to the eye in the tabernacle of the
daughter of Zion : he poured out his fury
like fire.
5 The Lord was as an enemy; he hath
swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed
up aU her palaces ; he hath destroyed
his strong holds, and hath increased in
the daughter of Judah moiu-ning and la-
mentation.
6 And he hath violently taken away^" his
1^ tabernacle, as if it were of a garden ; he
hath destroyed his places of the assembly :
the Loed hath caused the solemn' feasts
and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and
hath despised, in the indignation of his
anger, the king and the priest.
7 The Lord hath cast ofi' his altar, he
hath abhorred" his sanctuary, he hath
-^ given up into the hand of the enemy
the walls of her palaces ; they have made
a noise p in the house of the Loed, as in
the day of a solemn feast.
8 The Loed hath purposed to destroy
the wall of the daughter of Zion ; he hath
stretched out a line,* he hath not with-
drawn his hand from ^ destroying : there-
fore he made the rampart and the waU to
lament ; they languished together.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground;
he hath destroyed and broken her" bars :
her king** and her prmces are among the
Gentiles: the law w no more; her pro-
phets also find no vision from the Loed.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
sity upon the ground, and keep silence :
they have cast up dust upon their heads ;
they have girded themselves with sack-
cloth : the virgins of Jerusalem hang
down their heads to the ground.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my
bowels are troubled, my liver is poured
upon the earth, for the destruction of the
daughter of my people ; because the child-
ren and the sucklings o- swoon in the
streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers, Where
is corn and wine ? when they swooned as
the wounded in the streets of the city,
when their soul was poured out into
their mothers' bosom.
13 What tiling shall I take to witness
for thee ? what thing shaU I liken to thee.
O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I
equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O
virgin daughter of Zion ? for thy breach is
great like the sea ; who can heal thee ?
14 Thy prophets/ have seen vain and
foolish things for thee ; and they have not
discovered^ thine iniquity, to turn away
thy captivity ; but have seen for thee false
burdens, and causes of banishment.
15 All that pass ^ by clap their hands at
thee ; they hiss and wag their_ head at the
daughter of Jerusalem, saying. Is this
the city that men call The perfection of
beauty. The joy of the whole earth ?
16 All thine enemies have opened their

moutli" against thee: they hiss and gnash
the teeth : they say, We have swallowed her
up : certainly this is the day that we look-
ed for ; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The Lord hath done that which he
had devised ;'^ he hath fulfilled his word
that he had commanded in the days of
old: he hath thrown down, and hath not
pitied: and he/ hath caused thine enemy
to rejoice over thee; he hath set up the
horn of thine adversaries.
18 Their heart cried unt9 the Lord, O
wall of the daughter of Zion, let ^" tears
run down like a river day and night : give
thyself no rest ; let not the apple of thine
eye cease.
19 Arise, cry out in the night; in the
beginning of the watches pour out"* thine
heart like water before the face of the
Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for
the life of thy young children, that faint
for hunger <> in the top of every street.
20 Behold, O Loed, and consider to
whom thou hast done this. Shall the wo-
men eat their fruit,'' and children ^of a
span long ? shall the priest and the prophet
be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord ?
21 The young* and the old He on the
gi'Oimd in the streets : my virgins and my
young men are fallen by the sword; thou
hast slaitt them in the day of thine anger ;
thou hast killed, and not pitied.
22 Thou hast called, as in a solemn day,
my terrors round about;* so that in the
day of the Lord's anger none escaped nor
remained : those that I have swaddled and
brought up*" hath mine enemy consumed.
-,- CHAPTER III.
X AM the man that hath seen affliction
by the rod of his wrath.
2 He hath led me, and brought me into
darkness,* but not into light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he
turneth his hand against me aU the day.
4 My flesh* and my skin hath he made
old : he hath broken*^ my bones.
5 He hath builded against me, and
compassed me with gall and travel.
6 He hath set me in dark' places, as
they that he dead of old.
7 He hath hedgedi' me about, that I
cannot get out: he hath made my chain
heavy.
8 Also when I cry'' and shout, he shut-
teth out my prayer.
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn
stone : he hath made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear' lying in
wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and
pulled"* me in pieces: he hath made me
desolate.
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as
a mark" for the arrow.
13 He hath caused the -^arrows of his
quiver to enter into my reins.
14 I was a derision to all my people,
and their song^ all the day.
15 He hath filled me with "bitterness, he
hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16 He hath also broken my teeth with
gravel stones,' he hath P covered me with
ashes.
17 And thou hast removed my soul far
off from peace : I forgat ''prosperity.

20 My soul hath them still in remem-

21 This I V recall to my mind, there-
fore* have I hope.
22 It is'' of the Lord's mercies that we
are not consumed, because'* his compas-
sions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great
is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, «' saith my
soul ; therefore will I hope* in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that
wait' for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
2^ It is good that a man should both
hope and quietly wait for the salvation
of the Lord,
27 It is good for a man that he bear the
yoke' in his youth.
28 He sitteth alone" and keepeth sUence,
because he hath borne it upon him.
29 He putteth his mouth in the dust;
if so be there may be hope.
30 He^ giveth his cheek to him that smi-
teth him : he is filled full with reproach.
31 For' the Lord will not east off for
ever :
32 But though* he cause grief, yet will
he have compassion according to the mul-
titude of his mercies.
33 For he doth not afflict f willingly,"
nor grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet aU the pri-
soners of the earth,
35 To turn aside the right of a man be-
fore the face of *? the Most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the
Lord ^ approveth not.
37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to
pass, when the Lord commandeth it not ?
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High
proceedeth not evil* and good ?
39 Wherefore^ doth a living man " com-
plain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search" and try our ways,
and turn again to the Lord.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our
hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed** and have
rebelled : thou hast not pardoned.
43 Thou hast covered with anger, and
persecuted us : thou hast slain,/ thou hast
not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud,
that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring
and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 AH our enemies have opened their
mouths against us.
47 Fear* and a snare is come upon us,
desolation* and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers
of water for the destruction of the daugh-
ter of my people.
49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth
not, without any intermission,
50 TiU the Lord look down,* and be-
hold from heaven.
51 Mine eye affecteth J^mine heart, 'r be-
cause of all the daughters of my city.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like
a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the
dungeon, and cast a stone »• upon me.
54 Waters* flowed over mine head;
then I said, I am cut off.

60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance,

61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O

of the sanctuary are poured out in the

2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable
to fine gold,"» how are they esteemed as
earthen pitchers, the work of the hands
of the potter !
3 Even the f sea monsters draw out the
breast, they give suck to their yoimg ones :
the daughter of my people is become cruel,
like the ostriches^ in the wUderness.
4 The tongue of the sucking child cleav-
eth to the roof of his mouth for thirst;
the young children ask bread, a7id no''
man breaketh it unto them.
5 They that did feed delicately are deso-
late in the streets ; they that were brought
up in scarlet embrace dimghiUs.*
6 For the ^punishment of the iniquity
of the daughter of my people is greater
than the pimishment of the sin of Sodom,
that was overthrown as in a moment,"
and no hands stayed on her.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow,
they were whiter than milk, they were
more ruddy in body than rubies, their
polishing tvas of sapphii-e :
8 Their visage is /* blacker" than a coal;
they are not known in the streets: their
skiny cleaveth to their bones ; it is wither-
ed, it is become like a stick.
9 Thep that be slain with the sword are
better than thej/ that be slain vrith hunger :
for these '^j^me away, stricken through
for toant of the fruits of the field.
10 The hands of the pitiful women"
have sodden their own children : they
were their meat* in the destruction of
the daughter of my people.
11 The Lord hath accomplished his
fury; he hath poured out* his fierce an-
ger, and hath kindled*^ a fire in Zion, and
it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
12 The kings of the earth, and all the
inhabitants of the world, would not have
beUeved that the adversary and the enemy
should have entered into the gates of Je-

of the living creatures that ^touched one
another, and the noise of the wheels over
against them, and a noise of a great
rushing.
14 So* the spii'it lifted me iip, and took
me away, and I went ^in bitterness, in
f the heat of my spirit: but the hand** of
the Lord was strong upon me.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity
at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of
Chebar, and I sat/ where they sat, and
remained there astonished among them
seven days.
16 And it came to pass, at the end of
seven days, that the word of the Loed
came unto me, saying,
17 Son of man, I have made thee a
watchman* unto the house of Israel :
therefore hear the word at my mouth,
and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou
shalt surely die ; and thou ' givest him
not warning, nor speakest to warn the
wicked from his wicked way, to save his
life; the same wicked man shaU die in
his** iniquity; but his blood will I require
at thine nand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he
turn not from his wickedness, nor from
his wicked way, he shall die in his iniqui-
ty ; but thou'" hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When* a righteous man doth
turn from his « righteousness, and commit
iniquity, and I lay* a stumblingblock be-
fore him, he shaU die : because thou hast
not given him warning, he shall die in his
sin, and his righteousness which he hath
done shall not be remembered ; but his
blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless, if thou warn the right-
eous man, that the righteous sin not,
and he doth not sm, he shall surely live,
because he is warned;'* also thou hast
delivered thy soul.
22 And the hand of the Lord was
there upon me ; and he said unto me,
Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will
there talk with thee.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the
plain ; and, behold, the glory of the Loed
stood there, as the glory which I saw by
the river of Chebar : and I fell on my face.
24 Then the spirit entered into me, and
set me upon my feet, and spake with me,
and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within
thine house.
25 But thou, O son of man, behold,
they shall put bands upon thee, and shall
bind thee with them, and thou shalt not
go out among them :
26 And I wiU make thy tongue" cleave
to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt
be dumb, and shalt not'' be to them ^^a
reprover •,'^ for they are a rebellious house.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will
open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto
them. Thus saith the Lord God, He that
heareth, let him hear ; and he that for-
beareth, let him forbear : for they are a
rebellious house.

xHOU also, son of man, take thee a
tile, and lay it before thee, and poui-tray
upon it the city, even Jerusalem :

iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron be-
tween thee and the city ; and set thy face
against it, and it shall be besieged, and
thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall
be a sign* to the house of Israel.
4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and
lay the iniqidty of the house of Israel
upon it : according to the number of the
daj's that thou sha,lt lie upon it thou
shalt bear their iniquity.
5 For I have laid upon thee the years
of theu* iniquity, according to the niunber
of the days, three hundred and ninety*
days : so shalt thou bear/ the iniquity of
the house of Israel.
6 And when thou hast accomplished
them, lie again on thy right side, and
thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house
of Judah forty days : I have appointed
thee y each day for a year.
7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face to-
ward the siege of Jerusalem, and thiue
arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt
prophesy against it.
8 And, behold, I will lay bands* upon
thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from
Sone side to another, till thou hast ended
the days of thy siege.
9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and
barley, and beans, and lentUes, and
millet, and f fitches, and put them in one
vessel, and make thee bread thereof, ac-
cording to the number of the days that
thou shalt lie upon thy side ; three hun-
dred and ninety days shalt thou eat
thereof.
10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat
shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day:
from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Thou shalt drink also vrater by
measure, the sixth part of an hin: from
time to time shalt thou drink.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes,
and thou shalt bake it with dung that
cometh out of man, in their siglit.
13 And the Loed said. Even*" thus
shall the children of Israel eat their de-
filed bread among the Gentiles, whither
I will drive them.
14 Then said I, Ah Lord God ! behold,
my soul hath not been polluted;" for
from my youth up even till now nave I
not eaten of that" which dieth of itself, or
is torn in pieces; neither came there abo-
minable* flesh into my mouth.
15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have
given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and
thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of
man, behold, 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 astonishment:
17 That they may want bread and wa-
ter, and be astonied one with another,
and consume* away for their iniquity.

4 And" mine eye shall not spare thee,
neither will I have pity : but I will recom-
pense* thy ways upon thee, and thine abo-
minations shall be in the midst of thee;
and ye shall know that I am the Loed.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD, An evil,
an only evil, behold, is come.
6 An end is come, the end is come : it
^ watcheth for thee ; behold, it is come.
7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou
that dweUest in the land: the time is
come, the day/ of trouble is near, and not
the 5 sounding again of the mountains.
8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury
upon thee, and accomplish mine anger
upon thee ; and I wiU judge thee accord-
ing to thy ways, and will recompense
thee for all thine abominations.
9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither
will I have pity: I will recompense 'J thee
according to thy ways,* and thine abomi-
nations that are in the midst of thee ;
and ye shall know that I» am the Loed
that smiteth.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come ;
the morning is gone forth; the rod hath
blossomed; pride-' hath budded.
11 Violence* is risen up into a rod of
wickedness : none of them shall remain,
nor of their ^ multitude, nor of any of
*« their's ; neither shall there he wailing for
them.
12 The time is come, the day draweth
near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the
seller mourn ; for wrath is upon aU the
multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that
which is sold, ^although they were yet
alive : for the vision is touching the whole
multitude thereof, ivhich shaU. not return ;
neither* shall any strengthen himself Min
" the iniquity of his life.
14 They have blown the trumpet, even
to make all ready; but none goeth to
the battle: for my wrath is upon aU the
multitude thereof.
15 The sword" is without, and the pes-
tilence and the famine within : he that is
in the field shall die with the sword; and
he that is in the city, famine and pesti-
lence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape of them shall
escape, and shaU be on the mountains like
doves of the valleys, aU 9f them mourn-
ing, every one for liis iniquity.
17 All hands shaU be feeble, and all
knees shall '^ be weak 05 water.
18 They* shall also gird themselves with
sackcloth, and horror shall cover them ;
and shame shall he upon all faces, and
baldness upon aU their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the
streets, and their gold shall be P removed :
their silver' and their gold shall not be
able to deliver them in the day of the wrath
of the Loed : they shall not satisfy their
souls, neither fill their bowels ; because ^it

* . CHAPTER VIII.
-/LND it came to pass in the sixth year,
in the sixth month, in the fifth day of
the mouth, as I sat in mine house, and
the elders" of Judah sat before me, that
the" hand of the Lord GtOD fell there
upon me.
2 Then I beheld, and, lo,^ a likeness as the
appearance of fire : from the appearance of
his loins even downward, fire; and from
his loins even upward, as the appearance
of brightness, as the colour of >■ amber.
3 And he put forth the form of an' hand,
and took me by a lock of mine head ; and
the spirit lifted me up between the_ earth
and the heaven, and" brought me in the
visions of Grod to Jerusalem, to the door
of the inner gate that looketh toward the
north, where'' tvas the seat of the image of
jealousy, which provoketh"* to jealousy.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of
Israel was there, according to the vision
that I saw* in the plain.
_ 5 Then said he unto me, Son of man,
lift up thine eyes now the way toward
the north.* So I lifted up mine eyes the
way toward the north, and behold, north-
ward at the gate of the altar, this image
of jealousy in the entry.
6 He said, furthermore, unto me. Son
of man, seest thou what they do? even
the great abominations that the house of
Israel committeth here,* that I should
go far off from'' my sanctuary ? But turn
thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater
abominations.
7 And he brought me to the door of
the court ; and when I looked, behold,
a hole in the waU.
8 Then said he imto me. Son of man,
dig now in the wall: and when I had
digged in the wall, behold, a door.
9 And he said unto me, Gro in, and be-
hold the wicked abominations s' that they
do here.
10 So I went in* and saw ; and behold,
every* form of creeping things, and abo-
minable beasts, and all the idols of the
house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the
wall round about.
11 And there stood before them seventy
men of the ancients'" of the house of Israel,
and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah
the son of Shaphan, with every man his
censer" in his hand ; and a thick cloud of
incense went up.

Then I looked, and, behold, in the fir-
mament^ that was above the head of the
cherubims there appeared over them as it
were a sapphire stone, as the appearance
of the hkeness of a throne.
2 And he spake unto the man* clothed
with linen, and said. Go in between the
wheels, even under the cherub, and fill
^ thine hand with coals' of fire from be-
tween the cherubims, and scatter* them
over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3 Now the cherubims stood on the right
side of the house, when the man went in;
and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Then the glory' of the Loed ^went
up from the cherub, and stood over the
threshold of the house ; and the house was
filled"* with the cloud, and the court was
full of the brightness of the Loed's glory.
5 And the sounds of the cherubims'
wings was heard even to the outer court,
as the voice of the Almighty God when
he speaketh.
6 And it came to pass, that when he had
commanded the man clothed with linen,
saying. Take fire from between the wheels,
from between* the cherubims ; then he
went in, and stood beside the wheels.
7 And one cherub ^stretched forth his
hand from between the cherubims unto
the fire that ^vas between the cherubims,
and took thereof, and put it into the hands
of him that was clothed with linen ; who
took it, and went out.
8 And* there appeared in the cheru-
bims the form of a man's hand under
their wings.
9 And when I looked, behold,* the four
wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one
cherub, and another wheel by another
cherub : and the appearance of the wheels
toas as the colour of a beryl stone.
10 And as for their appearances, they
four had one likeness, as if a wheel had
been in the midst of a wheel.
11 When _ they went, they went upon
their four sides; they turned not as they
went, but to the place whither the head
looked they followed it; they turned not
as they went.
12 And their whole /*body, and their
backs, and theu^ hands, and then* wings,
and the wheels, tvere mil of eyes round
about, even the wheels that they four had.
13 As for the wheels, "it was cried unto
them in my hearing, O wheel !
14 Audi? every one had four faces: the
first face was the face of a cherub, and
the second face ioas the face of a man,
and the third the face of a lion, and the
fourth the face of an eagle.

15 And the cherubims were lifted up.
This is the living creature* that I saw by
the river of Chebar.
16 And when the cherubims went, the
wheels went by them; and when the
cherubims lifted up their wings to mount
up from the earth, the same wheels also
turned not from beside them.
17 When they stood, these stood; and
when they were lifted up, these lifted up
themselves also : for the spirit of ^ the
living creature was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Loed depart-
ed from off the threshold of the house,
and stood/ over the cherubims.
19 And the cherubims lifted up their
wings, and mounted up from the earth
in my sight: when they went out, the
wheels also tvere beside them; and evert/
one stood at the door of the east gate of
the Loed's house; and the glory of the
God of Israel tvas over them above.
20 This is the living creature that I saw
under the God of Israel by the river of
Chebar; and I knew that they tvere the
cherubims.
21 Every one had four faces apiece, and
every one four wings; and the likeness of
the hands of a man tvas under their wings.
22 And the Hkeness of their faces tvas the
same faces which I saw by the river of Che-
bar, their appearances _ and themselves:
they went every one straight forward.
-, r CHAPTER XL
lViOREOYER,« the spirit Hfted me up,
and brought me unto the east gate" of
the Loed's house, which looketh east-
ward: and, behold, 3 at the door of the
gate five and twenty men; among whom
I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and
Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes'" of
the people.
2 Then said he unto me. Son of man,
these are the men that devise f mischief,
and give wicked counsel in this city ;
3 AVhich say, It is not '^near;" let us
build houses: this citt/ is the" caldron,
and we be the flesh.
4 Therefore prophesy against them,
prophesy, O son of man.
5 And the Spirit of the Loed fell upon
me, and said unto me, Speak ; » Thus saith
the Loed, Thus have ye said, O house of
Israel: for I know^ the things that come
into your mind, evert/ one of them.
6 Ye have multiplied your slain" in
this city, and ye have filled the streets
thereof with the slain.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Your slain whom ye have laid in the
midst of it, they are the flesh, and this
city is the caldron ; but I wiU bring you
forth out of the midst of it.
8 Ye have feared the sword; and I
win bring a sword upon you, saith the
Lord God.
9 And I win bring you out of the midst
thereof, and deliver you into the hands of
strangers,* and wiU execute judgments
among '^ you.
10 Ye shall fall<^ by the sword: I will
judge you in the border* of Israel; and
ye shaU know/ that I am the Loed.
11 This city shall not be your caldron,
neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst
thereof; but I wiU judge you in the bor-
der of Israel :
12 And ye shall know that I am the

but have done'' after the manners of the
heathen that are roimd about you.
_ 13 And it came to pass, when I prophe-
sied, that Pelatiah,<* the son of Benaiah,
died: then* fell I down upon my face,
and cried with a loud voice, and said. Ah,
Lord God ! wilt thou make a full end of
the remnant of Israel?
14 Again the word of the Loed came
unto me, sajdng,
15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy
brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all
the house of Israel wholly, are they imto
whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have
said, Get you far from the Loed ; unto us
is this land given in possession,
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord
God, Although' I have cast them far oif
among the heathen, and although 1 have
scattered them among the countries, yet
will I be to them as a little sanctuary^ in
the countries where they shall come.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord
God, I" will even gather you from the
people, and assemble you out of the
coimtries where ye have been scattered,
and I wiU give you the land of Israel.
18 And they shall come thither,^ and
they shall take away aU the detestable
things thereof, and all the abominations
thereof, from thence.
19 And I will give them one heart,® and
I wiU put a new spirit * within you ; and
I will take the stony « heart out of their
flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh ; "*
20 Thaty they may walk in my statutes,
and keep * mine ordinances, and do them :
and they** shall be my people, and I will
be their God.
21 But as for them^ whose heart walketh
after the heart of their detestable things
and theu' abominations, I will recom-
pense'' their way upon their own heads,
saith the Lord God.
22 Then did the cherubims lift'' up their
wings, and the wheels beside them; and
the glory of the God of Israel toas over
them above.
23 And the glory of the Loed went
up from the midst of the city, and stood
upon the mountains' which is on the east
side of the city.
24 Afterwards the spirit took* me up, and
brought me iu a vision by the Spirit of God
into Chaldea, to them of the captivity : so
the vision that I had seen went up from me.
^ 25 Then I spake unto them of the cap-
tivity aU* the things that the Loed had
shewed me.
fj^ CHAPTEE XII.
XHE word of the Loed also came unto
me, saying,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of
a rebellious house,*" which have eyes" to
see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and
hear not : for they are a rebellious house.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare
thee V stuff for removing, and remove by
day in their sight; and thou shalt remove
from thy place to another place in their
sight: it may be^ they wUl consider,
though they be a rebellious house.
4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by
day in their sight, as stiiff for removing :
and thou shalt go forth at even in their
sight, as ^ they that go forth into captivity.
5 Dig K thou through the wall m their
sight, and carry out thereby.

6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon
thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the
twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that
thou see not the ground ; for I have set
thee /or a sign/ unto the house of Israel.
7 And I did so as I was commanded :
I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff
for captivity, and in the even I digged
^through the wall with mine hand; I
brought it forth in the twihght, and I
bare it up9n my shoulder in their sight.
8 And in the morning came the word
of the Loed unto me, saying,
9 Sou of man, hath not the house of
Israel, the rebelUous house, said unto
thee, What«' doest thou?
10 Say* thou unto them. Thus saith the
Lord God, This biu'den'' concerneth the
frince in Jerusalem, and all the house of
srael that are among them.
11 Say, I am your sign: like as I have
done, so shall it be done unto them : they
shall 7 remove, and go™ into captivity.
12 And the prince" that is among them
shall bear upon Ms shoulder in the twi-
hght, and shall go forth: they shall dig
through the wall to carry out thereby:
he shall cover his face, that he see not
the groimd with his ej^es.
13 My net? also wiU I spread upon
him, and he shall be taken*" in my snare:
and I will bring him to Babylon, to the
land of the Chaldeans ; yet shall he not
see it, though he shall die" there.
14 And I wiU scatter* toward every
wind aU that are about him to help him,
and aU his bands; and I will draw out
the sword after them.
15 And they shall know that I am the
Loed, when I shall scatter them among
the nations, and disperse them m the
countries.
16 But I« will leave ^a few men of
them from the sword, from the famine,
and from the pestilence, that they may
declare all their abominations among the
heathen whither they come; and they
shall know that I am the Loed.
17 Moreover, the word of the Loed
came to me, saying,
18 Son of man, eat/ thy bread with
quaking, and drink thy water with trem-
bling and with carefulness ;
19 And say imto the people of the land,
Thus saith the Lord God of the irdiabi-
tants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Is-
rael, They shall eat then* bread with care-
fulness, and drink their water with aston-
ishment, that her land may be desolate*
from ^all that is therein, because of the
violence' of aU them that dwell therein.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall
be laid waste, and the land shall be deso-
late, and ye shall know that I am the Loed.
21 And the word of the Loed came
unto me, saying,
22 Son of man, what is that proverb
that ye have in the land of Israel, saying,
The days" are prolonged, and every vi-
sion faileth ?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the
Lord God, I wiU make this proverb to
cease, and they shall no more use it as
a proverb in Israel; but say unto them.
The days are at hand, and the effect of
every vision.
24 Eor there shall be no more any vain
vision nor flattering divination within the
house of IsraeL
The reproof of false prophets.
25 For I am the Lokd : I will speak,
and tlie word that I shall speak * shaU
come to pass^ it shall be no more pro-
longed: lor in your days, O rebeihous
house, will I say the word, and will per-
form it, saith the Lord God.
26 Again, the word of the Loed came
to me, saying,
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house
of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is
for many days' to come, and he prophe-
sieth of the times that are far off.
28 Therefore say unto them. Thus saith
the Lord God, There shall none of my
words be prolonged any more; but the
word which I have spoken shall be done,/
saith the Lord God.
CHAPTER XIII.
And the word of the Loed came unto
me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the
prophets of Israel that prophesy, and
say thou unto them that 7 prophesy out
of their own hearts,* Hear ye the word
of the Loed ;
3 Thus saith the Lord God. Woe unto
the foolish prophets, that ^ follow their
own spirit, and f have seen nothing!
4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the
foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye have not gone up into the ^gaps,'
neither " made up the hedge for the house
of Israel, to stand"* in the battle in the
day" of the Loed.
6 They have seen vanity" and lying
divination, saying, The Loed saith: and
the Loed hath not sent them : and they
have made others to hope that they would
confirm the word.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and
have ye not spoken a lying divination,
whereas ye say. The Loed saith it; al-
beit« I have not spoken?
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen
Hes,* therefore, behold, I am against you,
saith the Lord God.
9 And mine hand shall be upon the
Erophets that see vanity, and that divine
es: they" shall not be in the "assembly
of my people, neither shall they be wi'it-
ten in the writing «> of the house of Israel,
neither shall they enter into the land^ of
Israel ; and ye shall know that I am the
Lord God.
10 Because, even because they have se-
duced my people, saying. Peace,* and
there was no peace ; and one built up a
'^wall, and, lo, others daubed'' it with
untempered mortar :
11 Say unto them which daub it with
untempered mortar, that it shall fall
there ** shall be an overflowing shower
and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall
and a stormy wind shall rend it.
12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it
not be said unto you, AVhere is the daub-
ing wherewith ye have daubed it ?
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
I wiU even rend it with a stormy wind in
my fury ; and there shall be an overflow-
ing shovyer in mine anger, and great hail-
Btones,/ in my fury, to consume it.
14 So win I break down the wall that
ye have daubed with untempered mortar,
and bring it down to the ground, so that
the foundation thereof shall be discovered,
and it shall fall,^' and ye shall be con-

I hast not been as an harlot, in that thou
scornest hire ;
' 32 But as a wife that committeth adul-
tery, ^ohic7i taketh strangers instead of her
husband !
33 Tliey give gifts to all whores ; but
thou^ givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and
^ hirest them, that they may come imto
thee on every side for thy Avhoredom.
34 And the contrary is in thee from
other Avomen in thy whoredoms, whereas
none foUoweth thee to commit whore-
doms : and in that thou givest a reward,
and no reward is given unto thee; there-
fore thou art contrary.
33 Wherefore, O harlot,* hear the word
of the Lord :
36 Thus saith the Lord GrOD, Because thy
filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness
discovered' through thy v^horedoms with
thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abo-
minations, and by_ the blood »" of thy child-
ren, which thou didst give unto them ;
37 Behold, therefore," I will gather aU thy
lovers, with vi'hom thou hast taken pleasure,
and all tliem that thou hast loved, with all
them that thou hast hated ; I will even ga-
ther them round about against thee, and
will discover thy nakedness unto them,
that they may see aU thy nakedness.
38 And I will judge thee, ^as women
that break wedlock, " and shed blood,P
are judged : and I will give thee blood
in fury'" and jealousy.
39 And I -will also give thee into their
hand, and they shall throw down thine
eminent place,* and shall break down thy
high places : they shall strip" thee also
of thy clothes, and shall take "thy fair
jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
40 They shall also bring up a company
against* thee, and they shall stone thee
vdih stones, and thrust thee through
with their swords.
41 And they shall burn* thine houses with
fire, and execute judgments upon thee in
the sights of many women : and I wiU cause
thee to cease from playing the harlot, and
thou also shalt give no hire any more.
42 So vrill I make _my fury toward
thee to rest, and my jealousy shall de-
part from thee, and 1 will be quiet, and
wiU be no more angry.
43 Because thou hast not* remembered
the days of thy youth, but hast fretted
me in all these things; behold, therefore,
I also will recompense'' thy way upon
thine head, saith the Lord God ; and thou
shalt not commit this lewdness above aU
thine abominations.
44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs
shall use this proverb against thee, sajing.
As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Thou «r^ -thy mother's daughter, that
loatheth her husband and her childi*en ;
and thou art the sister of thy sisters,
which loathed their husbands and their
children : your mother was an Hittite,
and your father an Amorite.
46 And thine elder sister is Samaria,
she and her daughters that dwell at thy
left hand: and thy ''younger sister, that
dweUeth at thy right hand, is Sodom'
and her daughters.
47 Yet hast thou not walked after their
ways, nor done after their abominations;
but, as if p that toere a very little thing^
thou wast corrupted more' than they in
all thy ways.
Mercy in reserve.
EZEKIEL, XVII.
Parahle of the eagles.
48 As I live, saitli the Lord GrOD, So-
dom" thy sister hath not done, she nor
her daughters, as thou hast done, thou
and thy daughters.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy
sister Sodom, pride, fulness'^ of bread, and
abundance of idleness, was in her and in
her daughters, neither did she strengthen
the hand of the poor and needy.
50 And they were haughty,/ and com-
mitted abomination before me: therefore
I took them away* as I saw good.
51 Neither hath Samaria committed
half of thy sins ; but thou hast multiplied
thine abominations more than they, and
hast justified* thy sisters in all thine
abominations which thou hast done.
_ 52 Thou* also, which hast judged thy
sisters, bear' thine own shame, for thy
sins tliat thou hast committed more abo-
minable than they: they are more right-
eous than thou; yea, be thou confounded
also, and bear thy shame, in that thou
hast justified thy sisters.
53 _ When I shall bring again"* their
captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her
daughters, and the captivity of Samaria
and her daughters, then tvill I bring again
the captivity of thy captives in the midst
of them ;
54 That thou mayest bear thine own
shame, and mayest be confounded" in
all that thou hast done, in that thou art a
comfort unto them.
55 When thy sisters, Sodom _ and her
daughters, shall return to their former
estate, and Samaria and her daughters
shall return to their former estate, then
thou and thy daughters shall return to
your former estate.
56 For thy sister Sodom was not ^ men-
tioned^ by thy mouth in the day of thy
^ pride,
57 Before thy wickedness was discover-
ed, as at the time" of thy reproach of the
daughters of ^ Syria, and all that are round
about her, the daughters of the Philistines,
which <« despise'" thee round about.
58 Thou hast borne ^thy lewdness and
thine abominations, saith the Lord.
59 For thus saith the Lord God, I will
even deal with thee as 2' thou hast done,
which hast despised the oath in breaking
the covenant.*
60 Nevertheless, I will* remember my
covenant with thee in the days of thy
youth, and I will establish unto thee an
everlasting^ covenant.
61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways/
and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive
thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger:
and I will give them unto thee for daugh-
ters,* but' not by thyi covenant.
62 And I will establish' my covenant
with thee; and thou shalt know that I
am the Loed :
63 That thou mayest remember, and be
confounded,"* and never open thy" mouth
any more because of thy shame, when I
am pacified toward thee for all that thou
hast done, saith the Lord G-od.

colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the
highest* branch of the cedar :
4 He cropped off the top of his young
twigs, and carried it into a land of traffic ;
he set it in a city of merchants.
5 He took also of the seed of the land,
and ^planted it in a fruitful'* field; he
placed it by great waters, and set it as a
Avillow^ tree.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading
vine of lows' stature, whose branches tm-n-
ed toward him, and the roots thereof were
under him: so it became a vine, and brought
forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 There was also another great eagle
with great wings and many feathers ; and,
behold, this vine did bend^' her roots to-
ward him, and shot forth her branches
toward Mm, that he might water it by
the furrows of her plantation.
8 It was planted in a good 7 soil by
great waters, that it might iDring forth
branches, and that it might bear fruit,
that it might be a goodly vine.
9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God,
Shall it prosper ? shall he not pull up the
roots thereof, and cut off the fruit" there-
of, that it wither? it shall wither in aU
the leaves of her spring, even without
great power, or many people to pluck it
up by the roots thereof.
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it
prosper ? shall it not utterly wither,^ when
the east wind? toucheth it ? it shall wither
in the furrows where it grew.
11 Moreover, the word of the Loed
came unto me, saying,
12 Say now to the rebellious »" house-
Know ye not what these things mean ? tell
them. Behold, the king of Babylon is come
to Jerusalem, and hath taken* the king
thereof, and the princes tliereof, and led
them vdth him to Babylon ;
13 And hath taken of tlie^ king's seed,
and made a covenant with him, and hath
^ taken an path^ of him: he hath also
taken the mighty of the land :
14 That the kingdom might be* base,
that it might not Hft itself up, ^ but that
by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 But* he rebelled against him, in
sending his ambassadors into" Egypt, that
they might give him horses and much
people. Shall'* he prosper ? shaU he escape
that doeth such things ? or shall he break
the covenant, and be delivered ?
16 As 1 Live, saith the Lord God, surely
in the place where the king dioelleth that
made him king, whose oath he despised,
and whose covenant he brake, even with
him, in the midst of Babylon, he shall die.fi'
17 Neither* shall Pharaoh, with his
mighty army and great company, make for
him in the war, by casting up mounts, and
building forts, to cut off many persons :
18 Seeing he despised the oath by
breaking the covenant, when, lo, he liad
given his hand,** and hath done all these
things, he shall not escape. , ^ , ^
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
As I live, surely mine oath that he hath
despised, and my covenant that he hath
broken, even it will I recompense upon
liis own head.
20 And I will spread my net^ upon
him, and he shall be taken in my snare;
and I will bring him to Babylon, and wiU
plead with hirii there for his trespass that
he hath trespassed against me.
Ood^s vindication of himself.

that remain shaU be scattered" toward
aU winds ; and ye shall know that I the

22 Thus saith the Lord God, I will
also take of the highest* branch ot the
high cedar, and will set it; I will crop
off from the top of his young twigs a
tender'' one, and wiU plant it upon an
high mountain'^ and eminent : , . , ^ „
'^3 In the mountain ol the height ot
Israel ^vm I plant it; and it shall bring
forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a
goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell
all fowl/ of every wing; in the shadow
of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
2-i And all the trees of the field shall
know that I the Loed have brought* down
the high tree, have exalted the low tree,
have dried up the green' tree, and have
made the dry tree to flourish : I the Loed
have spoken, and have done it.
^ CHAPTEE XVIII.
iHE word of the Loed came unto me
again, saying,
2 What mean ye, that ye use tins proverb
concerning the land of Israel, saying. The
fathers" have eaten sour grapes, and the
children's teeth are set on edge ?
Z As 1 live, saith the Lord G-od, ye
shall not have occasion any more to use
this proverb in Israel.
4 Behold, all souls are mine ; as the soul
of the father, so also the soul of the son is
mine : the soul that sinneth, it shall die.*
5 But if a man be just, and do Vthat
which is lawfid and right,
6 And"^ hath not eaten upon the moun-
tains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the
idols of the house of Israel, neither hath
defiled his neighbour's vrife, neither hath
come near to" a menstruous woman,
7 And hath not oppressed* any, hut
hath restored to the debtor hisv pledge,
hath spoiled none by violence, hath given
his bread to the hungry,* and hath covered
the naked with a garment ;
8 He that hath not given forth upon
usury," neither hath taken any increase,
that hath withdrawn his hand from ini-
quity, hath executed true* judgment be-
tween man and man,
9 Hath walked*' in my statutes, and
hath kept my judgments, to deal truly;
he is just, he shall surely live, saith the
Lord God.
10 If he beget a son that is a ^robber,
a** shcdder of blood, and that doeth ^the
like to any one of these things,
11 And that doeth not any of those duties,
but even hath eaten upon the mountains,
and defiled his neighbour's wife,
12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy,
hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored
the pledge, and hath Ufted up his eyes to
the idols, hath committed abomination,
13 Hath given forth upon usury, and
hath taken increase: shall he then Live?
he shall not live: he hath done all these
abominations; he shall surely die; his
^ blood shall be* upon him.
14 N9W, lo, if he beget a son that seeth
all his father's sins which he hath done, and
considereth * and doeth not such like,
15 That hath not eaten upon the moun-
tains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to
the idols of the house of Israel, hath not
defiled his neighbour's wife.

16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath
not ^withholden the pledge, neither hath

bread to the hungry, and hath covered

17 That hath taken off his hand from
the poor, that hath not received usury nor
increase, hath executed my judgments,
hath walked in my statutes; he shall not
die for the iniquity of his father, he shall
surely Hve.
18 As for his father, because he crueUy
oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence,
and did that which is not good among his
people, lo, even he shall die in « his iniquity.
19 Yet say ye. Why ? doth not^ the son
bear the iniquity of the father ? When the
son hath done that which is lawful and
right, and hath kept all my statutes, and
hath done them, he shall surely hve.
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
The son* shall not bear the iniquity of the
father, neither shall the father bear the ini-
quity of the son; the righteousness' of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wick-
edness"' of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked wiU turn" from aU
his sins that he hath committed, and keep?
all my statutes, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall surely live, he
shall not die.
22 All' his transgressions that he hath
committed, they shaU not be*" mentioned
unto him : in his righteousness that he
hath done he shall live.
23 Have I* any pleasure at all that the
wicked should die? saith the Lord God;
and not that he should return from his
ways, and live ?
24 But when the righteous turneth'' away
from his righteousness, and committeth ini-
quity, and doeth according to all the abomi-
nations that the wicked man doeth, shall he
hve? AH his righteousness that he hath
done shall not be mentioned: in his tres-
pass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin
that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet ye say. The way of the Lord
is not equal. Hear now, O house of
Israel; Is not my way equal? are not
your ways unequal ?
26 When a righteous man turneth away
from his righteousness, and committeth
iniquity, and dieth in them; for his ini-
quity that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth
away from his wickedness that he hath
committed, and doeth that which is lawful
and right, he shall save his soul aUve.
28 Because he considereth,* and turn-
eth away from all his transgressions that
he hath committed, he shaU surely live,
he shall not die.
29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The
way of the Lord/ is not equal. O house
of Israel, are not my ways equal? are
not your ways unequal ?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house
of Israel, every one according to his ways,
saith the Lord God. Eepent,*' and turn
v yourselves from all your transgressions;
so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away' from you all your trans-
gressions, whereby ye have transgressed;
and make you a new heart' and a new spi-
rit : for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death
of him that dieth, saith the Lord GoD:
wherefore turn v yourselves, and live ye.

IVlOREOVER, take thou up a lamen-
tation'* for the princes of Israel,
2 And say, What is thy mother? A
lioness : she lay down among lions, she
nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps :
it"* became a young lion, and it learned
to catch the prey ; it devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him ; he was
taken in their pit, and they brought him
with chains unto the land of EgjT)t,
5 Now, when she saw that she had
waited, and her hope was lost, then she
took another of her whelps, and made
him a young Hon.
6 And he went up and down among
the lions, he became a young lion, and
learned to catch the prey, and devoured
men.
7 And he knew their ^ desolate palaces,
and he laid waste their cities ; and the
land was desolate, and the fulness there-
of, by the noise of his roaring,
8 Then the nations set against him on
every side from the provinces, and spread
their net over him : he was taken in their
pit-'"
9 And they put him in ward in 5 chains,
and brought him to tlie king of Babylon ;
they brought him into holds, that his
voice should no more be heard upon the
mountains of Israel.
10 Thy mother is like a vine^ in thy
f blood, planted by the waters: she? was
fruitful, and full of branches, by reason
of many waters.
11 And she had strong rods for the
sceptres of them that bare rule, and her
stature was exalted among the thick
branches, and she appeared in her height
with the multitude oi her branches.
12 But she was plucked up in fury, she
was cast down to the ground, and the east
wind' dried up her fruit; her strong rods
were broken and withered, the fire con-
sumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the wil-
derness, in a di'y" and thirsty ground.
14 And fire* is gone out of a rod of
her branches, which hath devoured y her
fruit, so that she hath no* strong rod to he
a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation,
and shall be for a lamentation.

JLND it came to pass in the seventh

land of Egypt into a land that I had
espied for them, flowing with milk and
honey, Avhich is the gloi'y " of all lands ;
7 Then said I " unto them, Cast ye away
every man the abominations of his eyes,
and defile not yourselves with the idols
of Egypt : I am the LoRD your God,
8 But* they rebelled against me, and
would not hearken imto me : they did
not every man cast away the abomina-
tions of their eyes, neither did they for-
sake the idols of Eg^pt: then I said, I
will/ pour out my fury upon them, to
accomphsh my anger against them in the
midst of the laud of Egypt,
9 But** I wrought for my name's sake,
that it should not be polluted before the
heathen, among whom they ^oere, in whose
sight* I made myself known unto them,
in bringing them forth out of the land of
Egypt.
10 WTierefore I caused them to go
forth* out of the land of Egypt, and
brought them into the wilderness :
11 And I gave them^ my statutes, and
7 shewed them my judgments, which ' if
a man do, he shaU even live in tnem,
12 Moreover also, I gave them my
sabbaths, to be a sign** between me and
them, that they might know that I am
the Lord that sanctify them.
13 But the house of Israel" rebelled
against me in the wilderness : they walked
not in my statutes, and they despised my
judgments, which if a man do, he shall
even live in them; and my*" sabbaths
they greatly polluted: then I said, I
would pour out my fiiry upon them in
the wilderness,* to consume them,
14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that
it should not be polluted before the hea-
then, in whose sight I brought them out.
15 Yet also I lifted up ray hand unto
them in the wUderness, that I would"
not bring them into the land which I had
given them, flowing with milk and honej^
which is the glory of all lands ;
16 Because they despised '" my judg-
ments, and walked not in my statutes, but
polluted my sabbaths : for their heart "
went after their idols.
17 Nevertheless* mine eye spared them
from destroying them, neither did I make
an end of them in the wilderness.
18 But I said*' unto their children in
the wilderness, Walk ye not in the sta-
tutes of your fathers,* neither observe
their judgments, nor defile yourselves
with their idols : ^ -, „
19 1/ am the LoED your God:^' walk
in my statutes, and keep my judgments,
and do them:
20 And hallow* my sabbaths ; and they
shall be a sign between me and you, that ye
may know that I am the Lord your God.
21 Notwithstanding the children* re-
belled against me: they walked not in
my statutes, neither kept my judgments
to do them, which if a man do. he shall
even live in them; they"» polluted my
sabbaths : then I said, I would ppur out
my fury upon them, to accomplish my
anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Nevertheless P I withdrew mine
hand, and wrought for my name's' sake,
that it should not be polluted in the
sight of the heathen, in whose sight'" I
brought them forth,
23 I lifted up mine hand unto them

also in the wilderness, that" I would
scatter them among the heathen, and dis-
perse them through the countries;
24 Because thev had not executed my
judgments, but had despised my statutes,
and had polluted my sabbaths, and their
eyes'' were after their fathers' idols.
25 Wherefore* I gave them also sta-
tutes that were not good, and judgments
whereby they should not live :
26 And I polluted them in then-* own
gifts, in that they caused to pass through
the Jlre aU* that openeth the womb, that
I might make them desolate, to the end
that they might know that I am the Loed.
27 Tliorefore, eon of man, speak unto
the house of Israel, and say unto them.
Thus saith the Lord GrOD, Yet in this
your fathers have blasphemed"' me, in
that they have 5 committed a trespass
against me.
28 For when I had brought them into
the land, for the which I lifted up mine
hand to give it to them, then they saw
every high^ hill, and all the^ thick trees,
and they offered there their sacrifices,
and there they presented the provoca-
tion* of their offering: there also they
made their sweet savour,* and poured
out there their drink offerings.
29 Then I f said unto them, What is the
high place whereunto ye go ? And the name
thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
30 "Wherefore say unto the house of
Israel, Thus saith the Lord GrOD, Are ye
polluted after the manner of your fa-
thers?" and commit ye whoredom after
their abominations?
31 For when ye offer your gifts, when
ye make your sons to pass through the
fire, ye poUute yourselves with all your
idols, even unto this day;*" and shall I
be inquired of by you, O house of Israel ?
As I live, saith the Lord G-od, I will not
be inquired of by you.
32 And that which cometh^ into your
mind shaU not " be at all, that ye say, We
will be as the heathen, as the families of
the countries, to serve wood and stone.
33 As I live, saith the Lord G-od, surely*
with a mighty hand, and with a stretched
out arm, and with fury poured out, will
I rule over you ;
34 And I will bring you out'^ from the
people, and wiU gather you out of the
countries wherein ye are scattered, with
a mighty hand, and with a stretched out
arm, and with fury pom'ed out.
35 And I will bring you into the wil-
derness/of the people, and there wiU I
pleads' with you face to face.^
36 Like as I pleaded' with your fathers
in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so
will I plead with you, saith the Lord G-OD.
37 And I ^vill cause you to pass' un-
der the rod, and I will bring you into
V the bond of the covenant :
33 And I will purge out"* from among
you the rebels, and them that transgress
against me : I will bring them forth out of
the country where they sojourn, and they
shall notP enter into the land of Israel;
and ye shall know that I am the Loed.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus
saith the Lord God, Go*" ye, serve ye
every one his idols, and hereafter also,
if ye will not hearken* unto me: but^
poUute ye my holy name no more with
your gifts, and with your idols.

40 For in mine holy mountain,* in the
mountain of the height of Israel, saith
the Lord G-od, there shall aU the house
of Israel, aU of them in the land, serve
me : there will I accept <^ them, and there
will I require your offerings, and the
^firstfruits of your oblations, with all
your holy things.
41 I will accept you with your y sweet
savour,/ when I bring you outs' from
the people, and gather you out of the
countries wherein ye have been scatter-
ed; and I wiU be sanctified*^ in you be-
fore the heathen.
42 And ye shall know' that I am the
Loed, when I shall bring you into the
land of Israel, into the country for the
which I lifted up mine hand to give it to
3'our fathers.
43 And" there shall ye remember your
ways, and all your doings, wherein ye
have been defiled; and ye shall loathe"
yourselves in your owti sight, for aU yowv

44 And ye shall know that I am the
Loed, when I have wrought with you
for my name's sake,? uof according to
your wicked ways, nor according to your
corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel,
saith the Lord God.
45 Moreover, the word of the Loed
came unto me, saying,
46 Son of man, set thy face toward the
south, and drop thy word toward the
south, and prophesy against the forest
of the south field ;
47 And say to the forest of the south.
Hear the word of the Loed, Thus saith
the Lord G-od, Behold, I" will kindle a
fire in thee, and it shall devour every
green tree in thee, and every dry tree :
the flaming flame shall not be quenched,
and aU faces from* the south to the north
shall be burned therein.
48 And all flesh shall see that I the

quenched.*
49 Then said I, Ah Lord God ! they say
of me. Doth he not speak parables ?

broxiglit to pass, saith the Lord God.
8 Again, the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say. Thus
saith the Lord; Say, A sword,* a sword
is sharpened, and also furbished :
10 It is sharpened to make a sore
slaughter : it is furbished that it may ght-
ter : should we then make mirth ? it V con-
temneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
11 And he hath given it to be furbished,
that it may be handled : this sword is
sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it
into the hand of the'' slayer,
12 Cry and howl, son of man; for it
shall be upon my people, it shall be upon
all the princes of Israel: ^ terrors'^ by
reason of the sword shall be upon my
people : smite ^ therefore upon thy thigh.
13 'J Because it is a trial,/ and what if
the sword contemn even the rod ? it shall
be no more^ saith the Lord God.
14 Thou, therefore, son of man, pro-
phesy, and smite thine ^ hands together,
and let the sword be doubled the third
time, the sword of the slain : it is the sword
of the great men that are slain, which en-
tereth into their privy chambers.
15 I have set the ^ point of the sword
against all their gates, that their heart
may faint, s* and their ruins be multiplied.
Ah! it is made bright, it is f^ wrapped
up for the slaughter.
16 Go thee one way or other, either on
the right hand, P or on the left, whither-
soever thy face is set.
17 I wiU also smite mine hands toge-
ther, and I will cause my fury to rest:
I the Lord have said it.
18 The word of the Lord came unto
me again, saying,
19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee
two ways, that the sword of the king of
Babylon may come: both twain shall
come forth out of one land; and choose
thou a place, choose it at the head of the
way to thecity.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may
come to Rabbath' of the Ammonites,
and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at
the parting of the way, at the head of
the two ways, to use divination: he made
his '/'arrows bright, he consulted with
^ images, he looked in the liver.
22 At his right hand was the divination
for Jerusalem, to appoint ^captains, to
open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift
up the voice with shouting, to appoint
battering rams against the gates, to cast
a mount, and to build a fort.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false
divination in their sight, 'J to them that
have sworn oaths: but he wiU call to
remembrance* the iniquity, that they
may be taken.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Because ye have made your iniquity' to
be remembered, in that your transgress-
ions are discovered, so that in all"* your
doings your sins do appear; because, I
say., that ye are come to remembrance,
ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 And thou, profane" wicked prince
of Israel, whose day" is come, when ini-
qvuty shall have an end,

T,;r CHAPTER XXIL
IVlOREOYER, the word of the Lord
came unto me, saying,
2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou
"judge, wilt thou judge the ^^ bloody city ?
yea, thou shalt <^shew her all her abo-
minations.
3 Then say thou. Thus saith the Lord
God, The city sheddeth blood in the midst
of it, that her time may come ; and mak-
eth idols against herself to defile herself.
4 Thou art become guUty in thy * blood
that thou hast shed ; and hast defiled thyself
in thine idols which thou hast made ; and
thou hast caused thy days to draw near,
and art come even ujito thy years : there-
fore have I made thee a reproach unto the
heathen, and a mocking to aU countries.
5 Those that he near, and those that be
far from thee, shall mock thee, which art
T infamous and much vexed.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one
were in thee to their X power to shed blood.
7 In thee have they set light by father
and mother; in the midst of thee have
they dealt by V oppression with the stran-
ger; in thee have they vexed the father-
less and the widow.
8 Thou hast despised mine holy things,
and hast profaned my sabbaths.
9 In thee-' are men f that carry tales
to shed blood ; and in thee they eat upon
the mountains ; in the midst of thee they
commit lewdness ; -, , . i>

tion with his neighbour's wife; and ^an-
other hath "lewdly defiled his daughter
in law; and another in thee hath hum-
bled his sister, his father's daughter.
12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed
blood; thou hast taken usury and in-
crease, and thou hast greedily gaiued of
tliy neighbours by extortion, and hast
forgotten? me, saith the Lord God.

2 Son of man, there were two" wo-
men, the daughters of one mother ;
3 Ajid<^ they committed whoredoms in
Egypt ; they committed whoredoms in
their youth -.^ there were their breast.s
pressed, and tliere they bruised the teats
of their virginity.
4 And the names of them were Aholah
the elder, and Aholibah her sister; and
they were mine, and they bare sons and
daughters. Thus were their names, Sama-
ria is y Aholah, and Jerusalem ^ Aholibah.
5 And Aholah played the harlot, when
she was mine ; and she doted on her lovers,
on the Assyrians^ her neighbours,
6 Which were clothed "nith blue, captains
and rulers, all of them desirable young
men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7 Thus she ^ committed her whoredoms
with them, with all them that ^oere the
^ chosen men of Assyria, and with all on
whom she doted : with all their idols she
defiled herself.
8 Neither left she her whoredoms
brought from Egypt: for in her youth
they lay with her, and they bruised the
breasts of her virginity, and poured their
whoredom upon her.
9 Wherefore I have delivered her into
the hand^ of her lovers, into the hand of
the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10 These discovered her nakedness*
they took her sons and her daughters, ana
slew her with the sword ; and she became
^ famous ^ among women ; for they had
executed judgment upon her.
11 And when her sister Aholibah saw
this, she M-was more" corrupt in her in-
ordinate love than she, and in her whore-
doms more than ^ her sister in her whore-
doms.
12 She doted upon the AssjTians^ her
neighbours, captains and rulers clothed
most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon
horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 Then I saw that she was defiled,
that they toolc both one way ;
14 And that she increased her whore-
doms : for when she saw men pourtrayed
upon" the wall, the images of the Chal-
deans pourtrayed with vermilion,
15 Girded with girdles upon their loins,
exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads,
all of them princes to look to. after the
manner of the Babylonians ot Chaldea,
the land of their nativity,
16 And, Pas soon as she saw" them
with her eyes, she doted upon them, and
sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17 And the o" Babylonians came to her
into the bed of love, and they defiled her
with their whoredom; and she was pol-
luted with them, and her mind was
^ aHenated from them.
18 So she discovered her whoredoms,
and discovered her nakedness : then my
mind was alienated^ from her, like as
my mind was alienated from her sister.
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms,
in calling to remembrance the days of
her youth, wherein she had played the
harlot in the land of Egj-pt.
20 For she doted upon their para-
mours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses,
and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance
the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising
thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps
of thy youth.

26 They' shaU also strip thee out of thy
clothes, and take away thy ^ fair jewels.
27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to
cease" from thee, and thy whoredom
brought P from the land of Egypt : so that
thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto
them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 For thus saith the Lord God, Be-
hold, I will dehver thee into the hand of
them whom thou hatest, into the hand of
them from whom*" thy mind is ahenated :
29 And they shall deal with thee hate-
fully, and shall take away all thy labour,
and shall leave thee naked and bare; and
the nakedness" of thy whoredoms shall
be"" discovered, both thy lewdness and
thy whoredoms.
30 I wiU do these things unto thee, be-
cause* thou hast gone a whoring after
the heathen, and because thou art pollut-
ed with their idols.
31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy
sister; therefore will I give her cup into*
thine hand.
32 Thus saith the Lord GoD, Thou shalt
drink of thy sister's cup deep and large:
thou shalt be laughed to scorn" and had
in derision ; it containeth much.
33 Thou shalt be filled with drunken-
ness and sorrow, with the cup of asto-
nishment and desolation, with the cup of
thy sister Samaria.
34 Thou shalt even drink* it, and suck
it out, and thou shalt break the sherds
thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts :
for I have spoken if, saith the Lord God.
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Because thou hast forgotten^ me, and* cast
me behind thy back, therefore bear thou
also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
36 The LoED said moreover unto me.
Son of man, wilt thou" judge Aholah
and AhoHbah? yea, declare' unto them
their abominations ;
37 That they have committed adultery,
and blood* is in their hands, and with
their idols have they committed adul-
tery; and have also caused"* their sons,
whom they bare unto me, to pass for
them through the fire, to devour them.
38 Moreover, this they have done unto
me: they have defiled my sanctuary^ in
the same day, and have profaned my
sabbaths.

39 For when they had slain their child-
ren to their idols, then they came the
same day into my sanctuary to profane
it 5 and, lo, thus have they done in the
midst of*' mine house.
40 And, furthermore, that ye have sent
for men Pto come from far, unto whom/
a messenger zvas sent ; and, lo, they came :
for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint-
edsts' thy eyes, and deckedst thyself
with ornaments,
41 And satest upon a V stately* bed,
and a table prepared before it, where-
Tipou thou hast set mine incense* and
mine oil.
42 And a voice of a multitude being at
ease was with her: and with the men of
the S common sort were brought fSabeans
from the wilderness, which put bracelets
upon their hands, and beautiful crowns
upon their heads.
43 Then said I unto Iter that was old in
adidteries, WiU they now commit v whore-
doms with her, and she with them 1
44_ Yet they went in unto her, as they
go in unto a woman that"* playeth the
harlot; so went they in unto Aholah and
unto Aliolibah, the lewd women.
45 And the righteous" men, they shall
judge them after the manner of adiil-
teresses, and after the manner of women
that shed blood ; because they are adul-
teresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 For thus saith the Lord God, I' will
bring up a company upon them, and will
give them <« to be removed* and* spoiled.
47 And the company shall stone them
with stones, and ^dispatch them with
theif swords; they shall slay" their sons
and their daughters, and bum up their
houses with fire.
48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease
out* of the land, that^ all women may
be taught not to do after your lewdness.
49 And they shall recompense your
lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear
the* sins of your idols: and ye shall
know that I am the Lord God.
. CHAPTER XXIV.
A.GAI1S", in the ninth year, in the tenth
month, in the tenth daj/ of the month,
the word of the Loed came unto me,
saying,
2 Son of man. write thee the name of
the day, even ot this same day; the king
of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem
this same"^ day.
3 And utter a parable unto the rebel-
Uous house, and say imto them. Thus
saith the Lord God, Set on a pot,/ set it
on, and also pour water into it :
4 Gather the pieces thereof mto it,
even every good piece, the thigh, and the
shoulder ; fill it with the choice bones.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and
iU'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,
Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose
scum' is therein, and whose scum is not
gone out of it! bring it out piece by
piece ; let no lot" fall upon it.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her ;
she set it upon the top of a rock; she
poured it not upon the ground," to cover
it with dust ;
8 That it might cause' fury to come up
to take vengeance; I have set her blood
Death of the prophet's toife.
EZEKIEL, XXV.
Various nations threatened.
upon the top of a rock, tliat it should not
be covered. . , ,, -r i /-.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord G-od,
Woe io the bloody" city! I will even
make the pile for fire great.
10 Heap on*' wood, kindle the fire, con-
sume the flesh, and spice it weU, and let
the bones be burned.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals
thereof, that the brass of it may be hot,
and may burn, and that« the filthiness of
it may be molten in it, that the scum of
it may be consumed.
12 She hath wearied/ herself with hes,
and her great scum went not forth out of
her : her scum shall he in the fire.
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness : be-
cause I have purged thee, and thou wast
noti' purged, thou shalt not be purged
from thy filthiness any more, till I have
caused my fury to rest'' upon thee.
14 I the Lord have spoken it; it shall
come to pass, and I will do it; I wiU-' not
go back, neither will I spare, neither will
I repent: according to thy ways, and ac-
cording to thy doings, shall they judge
thee, saith the Lord GtOD.
15 Also the word of the Loed came
unto me, saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I* take away
from thee the desire of thine eyes with a
stroke : yet neither shalt thou* mourn nor
weep, neither shall thy tears ^ run down.
17 1^ Forbear to cry, make*" no mourn-
ing for the dead, bind" the tire of thine
head upon thee, and put on thy shoes
upon thy feet, and cover not thy '^lips,
and eat not the bread of men.
18 So I spake unto the people in the morn-
ing; and at even^ my wife died: and I
did in the morning as I was comjnanded.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt
thou not tell us what these things are to
us, that thou doest so ?
20 Then I answered them, The word of
the Loed came unto me, saying,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus
saith the Lord God, Behold, I wiU pro-
fane' my sanctuary, the excellency •' of
your strength, the desire* of your eyes,
and '^that which your soul pitieth; and
your sons and your daughters whom ye
have left shall faU» by the sword,
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye
shall not*' cover i/our lips, nor eat'" the
bread of men.
23 And j^our tires shall he upon your
heads, and your shoes upon your feet:
ye shall not mourn * nor weep : but ye
shall pine 2' away for your iniquities, and
mourn one toward another.
24 Thus Ezekiel is unto 5"0U a sign:
according to all that he hath done shall
ye do; and when* this cometh, ye shall
know that I am the Lord God.
25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not
he in the day when I take from them their
strength," the joy of theu' glorj^, the de-
sire of their eyes, and ^that whereupon
they set their minds, theu' sons and then-
daughters,
26 That he that escapeth in that day
shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear
it with thine ears ?
27 In that day* shall thy mouth be
opened to him which is escaped, and thou
shalt speak, and be no more dumb : and
thou shalt be a sign unto them ; and they
shall know that I am the Loed.

bitants, which cause their terror to be on
all that haunt it !
18 Now shall the isles" tremble in the
day of thy fall ; yea, the isles that are in
the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
19 For thus saith the Lord God, When
I shall make thee a desolate city, like the
cities that are not inhabited ; when I shall
bring up the deep upon thee, and great
waters shall cover thee ;
20 When I shall bring thee down with
them that descend/ into the pit, with the
people of old time, and shall set thee iu
the low parts of the earth, in places deso-
late of old, with them that go down to the
pit, that thou be not inhabited ; and I shall
set glory in the land of the living ;
21 I i? will make thee ^a terror, and
thou shalt he no more: though' thou be
sought for, yet shalt thou never be found
again, saith the Lord God.
rp CHAPTER XXVIL
±HE word of the Loed came again
unto me, saying,
2 Now, thou son of man, take up a la-
mentation* for T}Tus ;
_ 3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art
situate at the entry of the sea, ivhich art a
merchant"* of the people for many isles,
Thus saith the Lord God, O TYrus, thou
hast said, I am y of perfect beauty.
4 Thy borders are in the ^ midst of the
seas, thy builders have perfected thy
beauty.
5 They have ^made all thy ship boards of
fir trees of Senir:" they have taken cedars
from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
6 Of the oaksP of Bashan have they
made thine oars ; ^ the " company of the
Ashurites have made thy benches of
ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.9
7 Fine Hnen, with broidered work from
Egypt, was that which thou spreadest
forth to be thy sail ; ^ blue and purple
from the isles of EHshah was that which
covered thee.
8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad
were thy mariners : thy wise men, O TV-
rus, titat were in thee, were thy pilots.
9 The ancients of Gebal,* and the wise
men thereof, were in thee thy ^ calkers : aU
the ships of the sea with their mariners
were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
10 They of Persia,* and of Lud, and of
Phut, were in thine army, thy men of
war:'' they hanged the shield and helmet
in thee ; they set forth thy comeUness.
11 The men of Arvad, with thine army,
ivere upon thy walls round about, and the
Gammadims were in thy towers : they
hanged their shields upon thy walls rqimd
about ; they have made thy beauty perfect.
12 Tarshish* was thy merchant by rea-
son of the multitude of all kind of riches :
with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded
in thy fairs.
13 Javan,* Tubal, and Meshech, they
•^vere thy merchants : they traded the per-
sons" of men and vessels of brass in thy
P market.
14 They of the house of Togarmah c
traded in thy fairs with horses, and horse-
men, and mules.
15 The men of Dedan were thy mer-
chants ; many isles tvere the merchandise
of thine hand : they brought thee for a
present horns of ivory* and ebony.

and honey, and oil, and ^ balm./
18 Damascus tvas thy merchant m the
multitude of the wares of thy.makmg, for
the multitude of all riches ; m the wme

cious clothes for chariots.
21 Arabia, and all the prmces of Ke-
dar,'" they <« occupied with thee in lambs,
and rams, and goats ; in these loere they
thy merchants.
22 The merchants of Sheba" and Raa-

pied in thy fairs with chief of all spices,
and with all precious stones, and gold.
23 Haran,9 and Canneh, and Eden, the
merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad,
it)ere thy merchants.
24 These xvere thy merchants in /*all
sorts of things^ in blue " clothes, and broi-
dered work, and in chests of rich apparel,
bound Avith cords, and made of cedar,
among thy merchandise.
25 The ships* of Tarshish did sing of
thee in thy market ; and thou wast re-
plenished, and made very glorious in the
midst of the seas.
26 Thy rowers have brought thee into
great waters : the east wind" hath broken
thee in the P midst of the seas.
27 Thy riches,"' and thy fairs, thy mer-
chandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots,
thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy mer-
chandise, and all thy men of war, that are
in thee, o"and in aU thy company which
is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the

28 The T suburbs shall shake at the
sound of the cry of thy pilots.
29 And all that handle the oar, the
mariners, and all the pilots of _ the sea,
shall come down from theu' ships, they
shall stand upon the land ;

31 And they shall make themselves ut-
terly bald* for thee, and gird them with

with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 And in their wailing they shall take
up a lamentation for thee, ^ and lament
over thee, saying. What city is like Tyrus,
like the destroyed ia the midst of the sea ?
33 When thy wares went forth out of
the seas, thou filledst many people ; thou
didst enrich the kings of the earth with

merchandise.
34 In the time ivhen thou shalt be broken
by the seas in the depths of the waters,

^ CHAPTER XXVIII.
XHE word of the Lord came again
unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of
TjTus, Thus saith the Lord GrOD, Because
thine heart is Hfted up,^ and thou hast
said, I oni a Grod, I sit in the seat of God,
in the Cmidst of the seas ; yet* thou art
a man, and not Grod, though thou set
thine heart' as the heart of Grod :
3 Behold, thou «r^ wiser-' than Daniel;*
there is no secret that they can hide from
thee :
4 With thy wisdom and with thine un-
derstanding thou hast gotten thee riches,
and hast gotten gold and silver into thy
treasures :
5 By ^ thy great wisdom, and by thy traf-
fic, hast thou increased" thy riches, and thine
heart is lifted up because of ihjP riches :
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Because thou hast set thine heart as the
heart of God ;
7 Behold, therefore, I wiU bring stran-
gers upon thee, the terrible'' of the na-
tions : and they shall draw their swords
against the beauty of thy wisdom, and
they shaU defile thy brightness.
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit,
and thou shalt die the deaths of them that
are slain in the midst of the seas.
9 Wilt thou yet say* before him that
slayeth thee, I am God ? but thou shalt be
a man, and no God, in the hand of him
that 'T slayeth thee.
10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncir-
cumcised" by the hand of strangers: for
I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
11 Moreover the word of the Lord
came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation
upon the king of Tjtus, and say unto
him, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou
sealest up the sum, fuU of wisdom, and
perfect in beauty.*
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of
God ; every precious stone was thy cover-
ing, the <^ sardius, topaz, and the diamond,
the X beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the
sapphire, the '/'emerald, and the car-
buncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy
tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in
thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed" cherub that
covereth ; and I have set thee so : thou
wast upon the holy mountain " of God ;
thou hast walked up and down in the
midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from
the day that thou wast created, tiU ini-
quity* was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchan-
dise they have filled the midst of thee
with violence, and thou hast sinned :
therefore I wiU cast thee as profane out
of the mountain of God : and I wiU de-
stroy thee, O covering cherub,^ from the
midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of
thy beauty ; thou hast corrupted* thy wis-
dom by reason of thy brightness: I will
cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee
before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thj^ sanctuaries by
the multitude of thine iniquities, by the
iniquity of thy traffic;* therefore wiU I
bring forth a fire from the midst of thee
The fall of Egypt.

it sliall devour thee ; and I will bring thee
to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all
them that behold thee.
19 AU they that know thee among the
people shall be astonished at thee: thou
shalt be ^ a terror, and never shalt thou
le any more.
20 Again the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying,
21 Son of man, set thy face against
Zidon.« and prophesy against it,
22 And say. Thus saith the Lord GrOD:
Behold,-^ I am against thee, O Zidon ; and
I will be glorified*' in the midst of thee :
and they shall know* that I am the Lord,
when I shall have executed judgments in
her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23 For I will send into her^ pestilence,
and blood into her streets ; and the wound-
ed shall be judged in the midst of her by
the sword upon her on every side; and
they shall know that I am the Loed.
24 And there shall be no more a prick-
ing brier' unto the house of Israel, nor
any grieving thorn of all that are round
about them, that despised them ; and they
shaU know that I am the Lord Q-od.
25 Thus saith the Lord God, When I
shall have gathered » the house of Israel
from the people among whom they are
scattered, and shall be sanctified" in them
in the sight of the heathen, then^ shaU
they dwell in their land that I have given
to my servant' Jacob.
26 And they shall dwell « safely therein,
and shall build'" houses, and plant vine-
yards; yea, they shall dwell with confi-
dence, when I have executed judgments
upon aU those that ^ despise* them round
about them ; and they shall know that I
am the Loed their God.
J- CHAPTER XXIX.
JLN the tenth year, in the tenth months in
the twelfth day of the month, the word of
the Loed came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set*" thy face against
Pharaoh* king of Egypt, and prophesy
against him, and against aU^ Egypt :
3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord
God, Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh
king of Egypt, the ^reat dragon * that
lieth in the midst ot his rivers, which
hath said, My river is mine own,** and I
have made it for myself.
4 But I will put hooks* in thy jaws,
and I wiU cause the fish of thy rivers to
stick unto thy scales; and I wiU bring
thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and
all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto
thy scales.
5 And I wiU leave thee thrown into the
wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy
rivers : thou shalt faU upon the ^ open
fields ; thou*^ shalt not be brought toge-
ther, nor gathered : I have given thee for
meat to the beasts « of the field and to the
fowls of the heaven.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall
know that I am the Loed, because they
have been a staff of reed/ to the house of
Israel.
7 Wheni' they took hold of thee by thy
hand, thou didst break, and rend all their
shoulder: and when they leaned upon
thee, thou brakest, and madest all their
loins to be at a stand.*
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee,
and cut off man and beast out of tnee.

AG-AIK the word of the Loed came
unto me, saying, , , ^, , -u .
2 Son of man, speak to the children ot
thy people, and say unto them, ^When
I bring" the sword upon a land, if the
people of the land take a man of their
coasts, and set him for their watchman :i'
3 If, when he seeth the sword come
upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and
warn the people ; -, , i
4 Then ^whosoever heareth the sound
of the trumpet, and taketh not warnmg ;
il' the sword come, and take him away,
his blood shaU be upon his ov\ti head.
5 He heard* the sound of the trumpet,
and took not warning, his blood" shaU
be upon him : but he that taketh warning
shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword
come, and blow not the trumpet, and the
people be not warned ; if the sword come,
and take ani/ person from among them, he is
taken away in his iniciuity ; but his blood
wUl I require at the watchman's hand.
7 8o thou, O son of man, I have set
thee"* a watchman unto the house of Is-
rael ; therefore* thou shalt hear the word
at my mouth, and wam^ them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O
wicked man, thou* shalt surely die; if
thou dost not speak to warn the wicked
irom his way, that wicked man shall die
in his iniquity;* but his blood will I
require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked
of his way to turn from it ; if he do not
turn fi'om his way, he shall die"^ in his ini-
quity ; but thou'' hast delivered thy soul.
10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak
unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak,
saying, If our transgressions and our sius
he upon us, and we pine* away in them,
how/ should we then live ?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the
Lord God, I'' have no pleasure in the
death of the wicked ; but that the wicked
turn from his way and live : turn ye, turn
ye, from your evil ways ; for why wiU ye
die, O house of Israel ?
12 Therefore, thou son of man, say xmto
the children oi thy people. The righteous-
ness* of the righteous shaU not deliver
him in the day of his transgression : as for
the wickedness of the wicked, he' shaU
not fall thereby in the day that he turneth
from his wickedness ; neither shall the
righteous be able to live for his right-

have eaten up the good pasture, but ye
must tread down* with your feet the resi-
due of your pastures ? and to have drunk
of the deep waters, but ye must foul the
residue with yoiu- feet ?
19 And as for my flock, they eat that
which ye have trodden with your feet;
and they drink that which ye have fouled
with your feet.
20 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God
unto them. Behold I, even I, will judge
between the fat cattle and between the
lean cattle.
21 Because ye have thrust with side
and with shoulder, and pushed all the^*
diseased with your horns, till ye have
scattered them abroad;
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and
they shall no more be a prey; and I will
judge between cattle and cattle.
23 And I will set up one* Shepherd
over them, and he shall feed them, even
my servant David; he shall feed them,
and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And ly the Loed will be their God,

nant of peace, and wiU cause the evil
beasts" to cease out of the land ; and they
shall dwell safely* in the wilderness, and
sleep in the woods.
26 And I will make them* and the*^ places
round about my hill a blessing ; and I will
cause the shower to come down in his sea-
son : there shall be showers of blessing.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield
her fruit, and the earth shall yield her
increase, and they shall be safe in their
land, and shaU know that I am the Loed,
when I have broken the bands of their
yoke, and delivered them out of the hand
of those that served themselves of them.
28 And they shall no more be a prey
to the heathen, neither shall the beast
of the land devour them ; but they shall
dwell safely, and none shall make them
afraid.
29 And* I will raise up for them a Plant
/*of renown, and they shall be no more
»' consumed with hunger in the land, nei-
ther bear the shame of the heathen any
more.
30 Thus shall they know that I the
Loed their God am with them, and
that they, even the house of Israel, are

that are noio inhabited, and upon the peo-
ple that are gathered out of the nations,
which have gotten cattle and goods, that
dweU in the ^ midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants
of Tarshish, with all the young lions*
thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come
to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy
company to take a prey? to carry away
silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil ?
11 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and
say imto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God,
In that day when my people of Israel
dwelleth safely,* shalt thou not know^ it ?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out
of the north parts, thou, and many people
with thee, all of them riding upon horses,
a great companj% and a mighty army :
16 And tnou shalt come up against my
people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the
land: it shall be in the latter days, and I
will bring thee against my land, that^ the
heathen may know me, when I shall be
sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord God Art thou
he of whom I have spoken in old time y by
my servants the prophets of Israel, which
prophesied in those days man?/ years that
I would bring thee against them ?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same
time, when Gog shall come against the
land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that
my fury shall come up in my face.
19 Eor in my jealousy'* and in the fire
of my wrath, have I spoken, Surely in
that day'' there shall be a great shaking
in the land of Israel ;
20 So that the fishes of tlie sea, and the
fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the
field, and all creeping things that creep
upon the earth, and all the men that are
upon the face of the earth, shall shake at
my presence, and the mountains shall be
thrown down, and the ^ steep places shall
fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against
him throughout all my mountains, saith
the Lord God : every man's sword shall
be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with
pestilence and with blood; and I wOl
rain upon him, and upon his bands, and
upon the many people that are with him,
an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,*
fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus win I magnify myself, and
sanctify myself; and I wiU be known in
the eyes of many nations; and they shall
know that I am the Loed.

O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and
Tubal:
2 And I will turn thee back, and ^ leave
but the sixth part of thee, and will cause
thee to come up from the « north parts,
and will bring thee upon the mountains
of Israel :
3 And I win smite thy bow out of thy
left hand, and \rill cause thine arrows to
fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of

ple that is with thee : I will give thee un-

5 Thou shalt fall upon the V open field ;
for I have spoken it^ saith the Lord GrOD.
6 And I wiU send a fire« on Magog, and
among them that dwell ^carelessly in
the isles ; " and they shall know that I
arn tlie Lord.
7 So will I make my holy name known in
the midst of my people Israel ; and I will
not let them pollute my holy name/ any
more ; and the heathen shall know that I
a77i the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, its' is come, and it is done,
saith the Lord GoD; this is the day
whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of
Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire
and burn the weapons, both the shields and
the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and
the ^handstaves and the spears, and they
shall V burn"* them with fire seven years :
10 So that they shall take no wood out
of the field, neither cut down am/ out of
the forests ; for they shall burn the wea-
pons with fire: and they shall spoil"
those that spoiled them, and rob those
that robbed them, saith the Lord GrOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will give unto Grog a place there of
graves in Israel, the valley of the passen-
gers on the east of the sea; and it shall
stop the 1^ noses of the passengers ; and
there shall they bury Gog, and all his
multitude; and they shall call it. The
valley of ^ Hamon-gog.
12 And seven months shall the house
of Israel be burying of them, that they
may cleansC the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land
shall bury them; and it shall be to them
a renown, the day that I« shall be glori-
fied, saith the Lord God.
14 And they shall sever out men of
f* continual employment, passing through
the land to bury with the passengers those
that remain upon the face of the earth, to
cleanse it : after the end of seven months
shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through
the land, when ani/ seeth a man's bone,
then shall he ^ set up a sign by it, till the
buriers have buried it in the valley of
Hamon-gog.
16 And also the name of the city shall
he pHamonah. Thus shall they cleanse
the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the
Lord God, Speak o"unto every feathered
fowl,* and to every beast of the field.
Assemble yourselves, and come, gather
yourselves on every side to my t sacrifice*
that I do sacrifice for you, even a great
sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
and drink the blood of the princes of the
earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of
bullocks, aU of them fatlings of *» Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full,
and drink blood till ye be drimken, of my
sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with
horses* and chariots, with mighty men, and
with all men of war, saith the Lord God.
21 And I will set my glory among the
heathen, and all the heathen shall see my
judgment that I have executed, and my
hand that I have laid" upon them.

23 And the heathen shall know that the
house of Israel went into captivity for
their iniquity:* because they trespassed
against me, therefore hid** I my face from
them, and gave them into the hand^ of their
enemies ; so fell they aU by the sword.
24 A.ccording to their uncleanness, and
according to their transgressions, have I
done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God,
Now'' will I bring again the captivity of
Jacob, and have mercy upon the' whole
house of Israel, and will be jealous for
my holy name ;
26 After* that they have borne their
shame, and all their trespasses, whereby
they have trespassed against me,* when
they dwelt safely in their land, and none
made them afraid.
27 "When I have brought them again
from the people, and gathered them out
pf their enemies' lands, and am sanctified
in them in the sight of many nations ;
28 Then shall they know that I am the
Loed their God, ^ which caused them to
be led into captivity among the heathen:
but I have gathered them unto their own
land, and have left none" of them any
more there.
29 Neither^ wiU I hide my face any
more from them: for? I have poured out
my Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith
the Lord God.
y CHAPTER XL.
J-N" the five and twentieth year of our
captivity, in the beginning of the year,
in the tenth day of the month, in the four-
teenth year after that the city ' was smit-
ten, in the selfsame day the hand of the
Loed was upon me, and brought me
thither.
2 In the visions" of God brought he me
into the land of Israel, and set me upon
a very high" mountain, "by which was as
the frame of a city on the south.
3 And he brought me thither, and, be-
hold, there was a man, whose'* appearance
loas like the appearance of brass, with a
line of flax in his hand, and a measuring
reed ; and he stood in the gate.
4 And the man said unto me. Son of
man, behold with thine eyes, and hear
with thine ears, and set thine heart upon
all that I shall shew thee : for to the in-
tent that I might shew them unto thee art
thou brought hither: declare ^ all that
thou seest to the house of Israel.
5 And, behold, a wall on the outside of
the house round about, and in the man's
hand a measuring reed of six cubits long,
by the cubit and an hand breadth; so he
measured the breadth of the building one
reed, and the height one reed.
6 Then came he unto the gate X which
looketh toward the east, and went up the
stairs thereof, and measured the threshold
of the gate, tvJdch was one reed broad, and
the other threshold of the gate, lohich was
one reed broad.
7 And every little chamber was one reed
long, and one reed broad ; and between
the little chambers were five cubits, and
the threshold of the gate, by the porch of
the gate within, loas one reed.
8 He measured also the porch of the
gate witliin, one reed.
9 Then measured he the porch of the
J?. C. 574.

gate, eight cubits ; and the post^« thereof,
two cubits; and the porcli ot the gate
wan inward. n p .i ,
10 And the little chambers* of the gate
eastward were three on this side, and
three on that side ; they three were of one
measure : and the posts had one measure
on this side and on that side.
11 And he measiu-ed tlie breadth ot the
entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the
length ofthe gate, thii'teen cubits.
12 The /3 space also before the little
chambers was one cubit on this side, and
the space tvas one cubit on that side ; and
the little chambers toere six cubits on this
side, and six cubits on that side.
13 He measured then the gate from the
roof of owe little chamber to the roof of
another : the breadth loas five and twenty
cubits, door against door.
14 He made also posts of threescore
cubits, even unto the post of the* court
round about the gate.
15 And from the face of the gate of the
entrance, unto the face of the porch of
the inner gate, were fifty cubits.
16 And there tvere ^narrow/ windows
to the little chambers, and to their posts
within the gate round about, and like-
wise to the Marches; and windows loere
round about »J inward: and upon each
post were palm trees.
17 Then brought he me into the out-
ward* court, and, lo, there were^ cham-
bers, and a pavement made for the court
round about : thirty * chambers ivere upon
the pavement.
18 And the pavement by the side of the
gates, over against the length of the gates,
was the lower pavement.
19 Then he measured the breadth, from
the forefront of the lower gate unto the
forefront of the inner court ^ without, an
hundred cubits eastward and northward.

8 And ye have not kept" the charge of
mine holy things : but ye have set keepers
of my /3 charge in my sanctuary for your-
selves.
9 Thus saith the Lord God, No stran-
ger, uncircumcised* in heart, nor uncir-
cumcised in flesh, shall enter into my
sanctuary, of any stranger that is among
the children of Israel.
10 And the Levites that are gone away/
far from me, when Israeli' went astray,
which went astray away from me after
then* idols; they shall even bear theu'
iniquity.
11 Yet they shaU be ministers in my
sanctuary, having charge at the gates' of
the house, and ministering to the house:
they shall slay* the burnt offering and
the sacrifice for the people, and they shall
stand before them' to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them
before their idols, and 7 caused »» the
house of Israel to fall into iniquity ; there-
fore have I lifted up mine hand against
them, saith the Lord God, and they shall
bear their iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto
me, to do the office of a priest unto me,
nor to come near to any of my holy
things, in the most holy place; but they
shall bear their shame, and their abomi-
nations which they have committed :
14 But I will make them keepers of the
charge of the house, for all the service
thereof, and for all that shall be done
therein.
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons
of Zadok, that kept*" the charge of my
sanctuary when the children of Israel
went astray from me, they shall come
near to me to minister unto me, and they'
shall stand before me to offer unto me the
fat" and the blood,^' saith the Lord God :
16 They*" shall enter into my sanctuar3%
and they shall come near to my table, to
minister unto me, and they shall keep my
charge.
17 And it shall come to pass, that, when
they enter in at the gates of the inner
court, they shall be clothed with linen^'
garments; and no wool shall come upon
them whiles they minister in the gates of
the inner court, and within.
18 They shall have linen bonnets upon
their heads, and shall have linen breeches
upon their loins ; they shall not gird the^n-
selves V with any thing that causeth sweat.
19 And when they go forth into the
utter court, even into the utter court to
the people, they shall put off*' their gar-
ments wherein they ministered, and lay
them in the holy chambers, and they shall
put on other garments ; and they shall not
sanctify the people with their garments.*
20 Neither/ shall they shave their heads,
nor suffer their locks to grow long: they
shall only poU their heads.
21 Neither shall any priest drink wine,*
when they enter into the inner court.
22 Neither shall they take for their
wives a widow, nor her that is ^put
away: but they shall take maidens of
the seed of the house of Israel, or a
widow ^ that had a priest before.
23 And they shall teach my people the
difference between the holy and profane,
and cause them to discern between the
unclean and the clean.
24 And in controversy? they shall stand
Division of the holy land.
Li judgment; and they shall judge it ac-
cording to my judgments : and they, shall
keep my laws* and my statutes m all
mine assemblies; and they shaU hallow
my sabbaths.''
25 And they shall come at no dead/ per-
son to defile themselves : but for father, or
for mother, or for sou, or for daughter,
for brother, or for sister that hath had no
husband, they may defile themselves.
26 And after'' he is cleansed they shall
reckon unto him seven days.
27 And in the day that he goeth into
the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to
minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer ^
his sin offering, saith the Lord GfoD.
28 And it shall be unto them for an in-
heritance; I'' am then- inheritance: and
ye shall give them no possession in Israel ;
I am their possession.
29 They" shall eat the meat offering, and
the sin offering, and the trespass offering ;
audP every 7 dedicated thing in Israel
shall be their's.
30 And the ^fii-st of all the firstfi'uitsif
of all things, and every oblation of all, of
every sort of your oblations, shall be the
priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest
the first of your dough,'" that he may cause
the blessing* to rest in thine house.
31 The priests shall not eat of any thing
that is dead of itself,* or torn, whether it
be fowl or beast.
-.^ CHAPTER XLY.
IVIOREOYEE, when ye «shaU divide*'
by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall
offer an oblation unto the Lord, /^ an holy
portion^ of the land: the length shall be
the length of five and twenty thousand
reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thou-
sand. This shall be holy in aU the bor-
ders thereof round about.
2 Of this there shall be for the sanc-
tuary five huudi-ed- in length, with five
huudi'ed in breadth, square round about;
and fifty cubits round about for the
"■ suburbs thereof.
3 And of this measure shalt thou mea-
sure the length of five and twenty thou-
sand, aud the breadth of ten thousand:
and" in it shall be the sanctuary and the
most holy jylace.
4 The holy portion''' of the land shall be
for the priests the mioisters of the sanc-
tuary, which shall come near to minister
unto the Loed; and it shall be a place
for their houses, and an holy place for
the sanctuarj%
5 And the five and twenty thousand of
length, and the ten thousand of breadth
shall also the Levites, the ministers s' of
the house, have for themselves, for a pos-
session for twenty chambers.*
6 And ye shaU appoint the possession
of the city five thousand broad, and five
and twenty thousand long, over against
the oblation of the holy portion : it shall
be for the whole house of Israel.
7 And' a portion shall be for the prince
on the one side and on the other side of
the oblation of the holy portion, and of
the possession of the city, before the obla-
tion of the holy portion, and before the
possession of the city, from the west side
westward, and from the east side east-
ward ; and the length shall be over against
one of tlie portions, from the west border
unto the cast border.
8 In the land shall be his possession in

Israel: and my princes" shall no more
oppress my people; and the rest of the
land shall they give to the house of Israel
according'' to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord GoD,« Let it suf-
fice you, 0 princes of Israel : removes' vio-
lence aud spoil, and execute judgment*
and justice, take away your ^exactions*
from my people, saith the Lord GrOD.
10 Ye shall have just balances,^ and a
just ephah, and a just bath.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of
one measure, that the bath may contain
the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah
the tenth part of an homer : the measure
thereof shall be after the homer.
12 And the shekel"* shall be twenty ge-
rahs ; twenty shekels, five and twenty she-
kels, fifteen shekels shall be your maneh.
13 This is the oblation that ye shall offer,
the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of
wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of
an ephah of an homer of barley.
14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the
bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of
a bath out of the cor, luhich is an homer
of ten baths ; for ten baths are an homer :
15 And one ^lamb out of the Hock, out
of tvs^o hundred, out of the fat pastures
of Israel, for a meat offering, and for a
burnt offering, and for i? peace offerings,
to make reconciliation'* for them, saith
the Lord GrOD.
16 All the people of the land shall ^ give
this oblation '*' '^for the prince in Israel.
17 And it shaU be the prince's part to
give'' burnt offerings, and meat offerings,
and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in
the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in
all solemnities of the house of Israel : he
shall prepare the sin offering, and the
meat offering, and the burnt offeriug, and
the »' peace offerings, to make reconcilia-
tion for the house of Israel.
18 Thus saith the Lord God, In the
first month, in the first day of the month,
thou shalt take a young bullock, without
blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary :«
19 And the priest shall take of the
blood^ of the sin offering, and put it upon
the posts of the house, aud upon the four
corners of the settle of the altar, and upon
the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 And so thou shalt do the seventli
day of the month for every one that
eiTeth,^ and for him that is simple: so
shall ye reconcile the house.
21 In/ the first month, in the fourteenth
day of the month, ye shall have the pass-
over, a feast of seven daj-s; unleavened''
bread shall be eaten.
22 And upon that day shall the prince
prepare for himself, and for aU the people
of the land, a bullock* /or a sin offering.
23 And seven days of the feast he shall
prepare a burnt offeriug to the Loed,
seven bullocks and seven rams without
blemish, daily the seven days ; and a
kid"* of the goats daily /or a sin offering.
24 Aud he shall prepare a meat offer-
ing"- of an ephah for a bullock, and an
ephah for a ram, and an bin of oil for an
ephah.
25 In the seventh month, ia the fifteenth"
day of the month, shall he do the like in
the feast of the sevens days, according to
the sin offering, according to the burnt
offering, and according to the meat offer-
ing, and according to the oil.

rp CHAPTER XLVI.
XHUS saith the Lord God, The gate of
the inner court that looketh toward the east
shall be shut the six working days ; but on
the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the
day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2 And the prince" shall enter by tlie
way* of the porch of that gate without,
and shall stand by the post of the gate,
and the priests shall prepare'^ liis burnt
offering and his peace offerings, and he
shall worship at the threshold of the gate ;
then he shall go forth ; but the gate shall
not be shut until the evening.
3 Likewise the people of the laud shall
worship at the door/ of this gate before
the LoED, in the sabbaths, and in the
new moons.
4 And the burnt offering that the^
prince shall offer unto the Lord in the
sabbath day shall be six lambs without
blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 And the* meat offering shall be an
ephah for a ram, and the meat offering
for the lambs ^ as he shall be able to give,
and an hin of oil to an ephah.
6 And in the day of the new moon it
shall be a young bullock without blemish,
and six lambs, and a ram : they shall be
without blemish.
7 And he shall prepare a meat offering,
an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for
a ram; and for the lambs according as
his hand shall attain unto, and an liin of
oil to an ephah.
8 And" when the prince shall enter, he
shall go in by the way of the porch of
that gate, and he shall go forth by the
way thereof.
9 But when the people of the laud shall
come before the Loed in the solemn
feasts,^ he that eutereth in by the way of
the north gate to worship shall go out by
the way of the south gate; and he that
entereth by the way of the south gate
shall go forth by the way of the north
gate ; he shall not return by the way of
the gate whereby he came in, but shall go
forth over against it.
10 And the prince in the midst of them,
when they go in, shall go in ; and when
they go forth, shall go forth.
11 And in the feasts, and in the solem-
nities, the* meat offering shall be an
ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a
ram; and to the lambs as he is able to
give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
12 Now when the prince shall prepare
a voltmtary burnt offering or peace offer-
ings voluntarily unto the Loed, one shall
then open liim the gate" that looketh
toward the east, and he shall prepare his
burnt offerhig and his peace offerings as
he did on the sabbath day ; then he shall
go forth; and after his going forth one
shall shut the gate.
13 Thou shalt daily" prepare a burnt
offering unto the Lord of a lamb ^ of the
fii'st year without blemish ; thou shalt
prepare it <« every morning.
14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offer-
ing for it every morning, the sixth part
of an ephah, and the third part of an hin
of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a
meat offering continually, by a perpetual
ordinance, unto the Lord.
15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb,
and the meat offering, and the oil, every
morning, /or a continual burnt offering.

16 Thus Sciith the Lord God, If the
prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the
mheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it
shall be their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he give a gift of his inherit-
ance to one of his servants, then it shall
be his to the year* of liberty ; after it shall
return to the prince : but his inheritance
shall be his sons' for them.
18 Moreover, the prince shall not* take
of the people's inheritance by oppi-ession,
to thrust them out of their possession :
hut he shall give his^ sons inheritance out
of his own possession; that my people
be not scattered^' every man from his
possession.
19 After he brought me through the
entry, which loas at the side of the gate,
int9 the holy chambers of the priests,
which looked toward the north : and, be-
hold, there loas a place on the two sides
westward.
20 Then said he unto me, This is the
place where the priests shall boil* the
trespass offering and the sin offering ;
where they shall bake' the meat offering ;
that they bear them not out into the utter
court, to sanctify"* the people.
21 Then he brought me forth into the
utter court, and caused me to pass by the
four corners of the court, and, behold,
7 in every corner of the court there was a
court.
22 In the four corners of the court there
were courts ^ joined of forty cubits long,
and thirty broad: these four ^corners
were of one measure.
23 And there ioas a row of building round
about in them, round about them four,
and it tvas made with boilingplaces under
the rows round about.
24 Then said he unto me. These*' ewe
the places of them that boO, where the
ministers of the house shall boil the sacri-
fice of the people.
. CHAPTER XLVII.
Afterward he brought me again
unto the door of the house ; and, behold,
waters' issued out from under'" the
threshold of the house eastward : for the
forefront of the house stood toward the
east, and the waters came down from
under, from the right side of the house,
at the south side of the altar.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of
the gate northward, and led me about the
way without unto the utter gate by the
way that looketh eastward; and, behold,
there ran out waters on the right side.
3 And when the man* that had the Hue
in his hand went forth eastward, he mea-
sured a thousand cubits, and he brought
me through the waters ; the ^ waters ^oere
to the ancles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and
brought me through the waters; the wa-
ters were to the knees. Again he measui-ed
a thousand, and brought me through ; the
waters ivere to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand;
and it tvas a river that I could not pass
over: for the waters were risen, waters
^to swim in, a river"* that could not be
passed over.
6 And he said unto me. Son of man,
hast thou seen thisl Then he brought
me, and caused me to return to the brmk
of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at
643
Vision of the holy waters.
the /3bank of the river were very many
trees" on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters
issue out toward the east country, and
go down into'^ the V desert, and go into
the sea: which being brought forth mto
the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every
thing that liveth,'' which moveth, whither-
soever the drivers shall come, shall live :
and there shall be a very great 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, t/iaf the
fishers/ shall 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 greatJ' sea, exceeding^ many.
11 But the miry places thereof and the
marishes thereof »? shall not be healed;
they shall be given to salt,*
12 And by the river upon the* bank
thereof, on this side and on that side, shall
^grow all trees for meat, whose leaf'
shall not fade, neither shall the fruit
thereof be consumed : it shall bring forth
Knew fruit according to his months, be-
cause their waters they issued out of the
sanctuary ; and the fruit thereof" shaR be for
meat, and the leaf thereof for ^medicine.
13 Thus saith the Lord GrOD, This shall
he the border whereby ye shall inherit the
land, according to the twelve tribes of
Israel : Joseph" shall have ttoo portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well
as another ; concerning the which I /* lift-
ed up mine hand to give it unto your
fathers ; and this land shall fall unto you
for inheritance.^
15 And this shall le the border of the
land toward the north side, from the
great sea, the way of Hethlon,'? as men
go to Zedad;**
16 Hamath, Berothah,* Sibraim, which
is between the border of Damascus and
the border of Hamath; ^ Hazar-hatticon,
which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be
Hazar-enan," the border of Damascus,
and the north northward, and the border
of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure
•^from Hauran, and from Damascus, and
from Gilead, and from the land of Israel
hy Jordan, from the border unto the east
sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from
Tamar even to the waters of "^ strife"' in
Kadesh. the <^ river to the great sea. And
this is the south side X southward.
20 The west side also shall he the great
sea from the border, tiU a man come over
against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land imto
you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye
shall divide it by lot for an inheritance
unto you, and to the strangers* that so-
journ among you, which shall beget chil-
dren among you; and they" shall be unto
you as born in the country among the
children of Israel : they shall have inherit-
ance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what
tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye
give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God.

The Book of DANIEL.
_. CHAPTER I.
JLN the third year of the reign of Jehoia-
kim king of Judah came'' ]S ebuchadnez-
zar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and
besieged it. -r i • •. •
2 And tne Lord gave Jehoiakim kuig
of Judah into liis hand, with ipart of the
vessels of the house of Grod, which he car-
ried into the land of Shinar, to the house
of his god; and he brought the vessels
into the treasure house of his god.
3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz
the master of his eunuchs, that he should
bring certain of the children*^ of Israel,
and of the king's seed, and of the princes ;
4 Children in whom loas no blemish, but
weU favoured, and skilful in all wisdom,
and cunning in knowledge, and under-
standing science, and such as had ability
in them to stand in the king's palace, and
whom they might teach the learning and
the tongue of the Chaldeans.
5 And the king appointed them a daily
provision of the king's meat, and of the
wine ^ which he drank ; so nourishing
them three years, that at the end thereof
they might stand before the king.
6 Now among these were of the child-
ren of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael,
and Azariah ;
7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs
gave names : for he gave unto Daniel the
name of Belteshazzar ; / and to Hananiah,
of Shadrach ; and to Mishael, of Meshach :
and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that
he would not defile himself with the por-
tion* of the king's meat, nor with the
wine which he drank : therefore he re-
quested of the prince of the eunuchs that
he might not defile himself.
9 Now Grod had brought Daniel into
favour^ and tender love with the prince
of the eunuchs.
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said
unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king,
who hath appointed your meat and your
drink : for why should he see your faces
1 worse liking than the children which
are of your ^ sort ? then shall ye make me
endanger my head to the king.
11 Then said Daniel to "Melzar, whom
the prince of the eunuchs had set over
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee,
ten days ; and let them give us " pulse to
eat, and water to drink.
13 Then let our countenances be looked
upon before thee, and the countenance of
the children that eat of the portion of the
king's meat ; and as thou seest, deal with
thy servants.
14 So he consented to them in this mat-
ter, and proved them ten days.
15 And at the end of ten days their
countenances appeared fairer and fatter
in flesh than all the children which did
eat the portion of the king's meat.
16 Thus Melzar took away the portion
of their meat, and the wine that they
should di'ink, and gave them pulse.
17 As for these four children, Grod gave

them knowledge and skill in all learning
and wisdom: and ^ Daniel had under-
standing in all visions and dreams.
18 Now at the end of the days that the
king had said he should bring them in,
then the prince of the eunuchs brought
them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 And the king communed with them:
and among them all was found none hke
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
therefore stood they before the king.
20 And in* all matters of wisdom V and
understanding, that the king inquired of
them, he found them ten times better than
all the magicians and astrologers that
toere in all his realm.
21 And Daniel continued'^ even unto
the first year of king Cyrus.
. CHAPTER II.
And in the second year of the reigu
of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed dreams, wherewith* his spirit
was troubled, and his sleep brake from
him.
2 Then the king commanded to call the
magicians, and the astrologers, and the
sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew
the king his dreams. So they came and
stood before the king.
3 And the king said unto them, I have
dreamed a dream, and my spirit was
troubled to know the dream.
4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king
in Syriac, O king, lives' for ever: teU thy
servants the dream, and we will shew the
interpretation.
5 The king answered and said to the
Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me :
if ye will not make known unto me the
dream, with the interpretation thereof,
ye shaU. be ^cut in pieces,' and your
houses * shall be made a dunghill :
6 But"' if ye shew the dream, and the
interpretation thereof, ye shall receive
of me gifts, and ^rewards, and great ho-
nour: therefore shew me the dream and
the interpretation thereof.
7 They answered again, and said, Let
the king teU his servants the di-eam, and
we win shew the interpretation of it.
8 The king answered and said, I know
of certainty that ye would /* gain the time,
because ye see the thing is gone from
me.
9 But if ye wiU. not make known unto
me the dream, there is hut one decree for
you; for ye have prepared lying and cor-
rupt words to speak before me tOl the
time be changed : therefore tell me the
dream, and I" shall know that ye can
shew me the interpretation thereof.
10 The Chaldeans answered before the
king, and said, There is not a man upon
the earth that can shew the king's mat-
ter; therefore there is no king, lord, nor
ruler, that asked such things at any magi-
cian, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 And it is a rare thing that the king
requireth : and there is none other that
can shew it before the king, except <* the
gods, whose dweUing^ is not with flesh.
12 For this cause the king was angry
B. C. 603.
Daniel, hj divine revelation^ DANIEL,
and very furious, and commauded to
destroy all « the wise men of Babylon.
13 And the decree went forth that the
wise men should be slain; and they
sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
14 Then Daniel V answered with coun-
sel and wisdom to Arioch the ^ captain
of the king's guard, which was gone iorth
to slay the wise men of Babylon :
15 He answered and said to Arioch
the king's captain, Why is the decree so
hasty from the king ? Then Arioch made
the thing known to Daniel.
16 Then Daniel went in, and desired
of the king that he would give him time,
and that he would shew the king the
interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and
made the thing known to Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah, his companions;
18 That** they would desire mercies ^of
the God of heaven concerning this secret,
that " Daniel and his feU9ws should not pe-
rish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then was the secret revealed unto
Daniel in a night vision.* Then Daniel
blessed the Grod of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said,^ Blessed
be the name of God for ever and ever;
for wisdom' and might are his :
21 And he changeth the times'" and the
seasons: he" removeth kings, and setteth
up kings: he^ giveth wisdom unto the
wise, and knowledge to them that know
understanding.
22 He revealeth? the deep and secret
things : he knoweth* what is in the dark-
ness, and the light" dwelleth with him.
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O
thou God of my fathers, who hast given
me wisdom and might, and hast made
known unto me now what we desired of
thee : for thou hast novo made known
unto us the king's matter.
24 Therefore Daniel went in unto
Arioch, whom the king had ordained to
destroy the wise men of Babylon: he
went and said thus unto him. Destroy
not the wise men of Babylon: bring me
in before the king, and I will shew unto
the king the interpretation.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel
before the king in haste, and said thus
unto him, M-I have found a man of the
" captives of Judah that wiU make known
unto the king the interpretation.
26 The king answered, and said to
Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar,
Art thou able to make known unto me
the dream which I have seen, and the
interpretation thereof ?
27 Daniel answered in the presence of
the king, and said, The secret which the
king hath demanded, cannot* the wise
men, the astrologers, the magicians, the
soothsayers, shew unto the king ;
28 Buty there is a God in heaven that
revealeth secrets, and ^maketh known to
the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be
in the latter days. Thy dream, and the vi-
sions of thy head upon thy bed, are these ;
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts
'/'came into thy mind upon thy bed, what
should come to pass hereafter; and* he
that revealeth secrets maketh known to
thee what shall come to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not re-
vealed to me for o,ny wisdom <* that I have
more than any living, but for ^ their sakes

29 Therefore ^I make a decree,* That

si)eak any V thing amiss against the God
of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
shall be ^eut in pieces/ and their houses

30 Then the king spromoted Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province
of Babjdon.
TVT CHAPTER IV.
JNeBUCHADNEZZAE, the king, un-
to* all people, nations, and languages,
that dwell in all the earth ; Peace ' be
multiplied unto you.
2^1 thought it good to shew the signs
and wonders that the high" God hath
wrought toward me.
3 How great are his signs !<> and how
mighty are _ his wonders ! p his kingdom is
an everlasting'" kingdom, and his domi-
nion* is from generation to generation.
4 I JSTebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine
house, and flourishing in my palace :
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid,
and the thoughts upon my bed and the
visions of my head troubled me.
6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in
all the wise men of Babylon before me,
that they might make known unto me the
interpretation of the dream.
7 Then" came in the magicians, the as-
trologers, the Chaldeans, and the sooth-
sayers : and I told the dream before
them ; but they did not make known
unto me the interpretation thereof.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before
me, whose name^ tvas Belteshazzar, ac-
cording to the name of my god, and in
whom is the spirit " of the holy gods :
and before him I told the dream, saying,
2 O Belteshazzar, master of the magi-
cians, because I know that the spirit of
the holy gods is in thee, and no secret
troubleth" thee, tell me the visions of
my dream that I have seen, and the in-
terpretation thereof.
10 Thus loere the visions of mine head
in my bed: I ^saw, and, behold, a* tree
in the midst of the earth, and the height
thereof toas great.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and
the height thereof reached unto heaven,
and tlje sight thereof to the end of all
the earth.
12 The leaves thereof ivere fair, and the
fruit thereof much, and in it toas meat
for aU: the beasts/ of the field had sha-
dows' under it, and the fowls of the hea-
ven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all
flesh was fed of it.
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon
my bed, and, behold, a watcher* and an
holy^ one came down from heaven.
14 He cried « aloud, and said thus.
Hew" down the tree, and cut ofl" his
branches, shake off" his leaves, and scatter
his fruit : let the beasts get away from un-
der it, and the fowls from his branches,
15 Nevertheless, leave the stump" of
his roots in the earth, even with a band
of iron and brass, in the tender grass of
the field; and let it be wet with the dew
of heaven, and let his portion be with the
beasts in the grass of the earth :
16 Let his heart be changed' from man's.
549
Daniel interpretetJi it
and let a beast's heart be given unto him ;
and let seven times" pass over Jiim.
17 This matter is by the decree*^ of the
watchers, and the demand by the word of
the holy ones; to the intent that the liv-
ing may kuoW^ that the Most High* rul-
eth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it
to whomsoeverfl' he wiU, and setteth up
over it the basest* of men.
18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar
have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar,
declare the interpretation thereof, foras-
much' as all the wise men of my kingdom
are not able to make known uiito me the
mterpretation : but thou art able ; for the
spirit of the holy gods is in thee,
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Bel-
teshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and
his thoughts troubled »» him. The king
spake and said, Belteshazzar, let not the
dream, or the interpretation thereof, trou-
ble thee. Belteshazzar answered and
said. My lord, the dream he to them? that
hate thee, and the interpretation thereof
to thine enemies.
20 The tree* that thou sawest, whicli
grew, and was strong, whose height
reached unto the heaven, and the sight
thereof to all the earth ;
21 Whose leaves loere fair, and the fruit
thereof much, and in it ivas meat for all ;
imder which the beasts of the field dwelt,
and upon whose branches the fowls of
the heaven had their habitation :
22 It is thou,'' O king, that art grown
and become strong : for thy greatness is
grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and
thy dominion'" to the end of the earth.
23 And whereas* the king saw a watcher
and an holy one coming down from hea-
ven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and
destroy it; yet leave the stump of the
roots thereof in the earth, even with
a band of iron and brass, in the tender
grass of the field ; and let it be wet with
the dew of heaven, and let his portion
he with the beasts of the field, till seven
times pass over him;
24 This is the interpretation, O king,
and this is the decree of the Most High,
which is come upon my lord the king :
25 That they shaU drive" thee from
men, and thy dwelling shall be with the
beasts of the field, and they shall make
thee to eat grass '^ as oxen, and they shall
wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven
times shall pass over thee, till thou know
that the Most High« ruleth in the kingdom
of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
26 And whereas they commanded to leave
the stump of the tree roots ; thy kingdom
shaU be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt
have known that the heavens'^ do rule,
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be
acceptable unto thee, and break off' thy
sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities
by shewing mercy to the poor ; if'" it may
be ^a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
28 All this came upon the king Nebu-
chadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he
walked ^in the palace of the kingdom
of Babylon,
30 The king spake ^ and said. Is not this
great Babylon, that I have built for the
house of the kingdom, by the might of my
power, and for the honour of my majesty ?
31 While'" the word %vas in the king's
mouth, there fell a voice from heaven,

33 The same hour was the thmg iulfalled
upon Nebuchadnezzar : and he was driven
from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and
his body was wet with the dew of heaven,
till his hairs were grown like eagles' fea-
thers, and his nails like birds' claws.
34 And at the end of the days I Nebu-

unto me; and I blessed the Most High;
and I praised and honoured him'' that
liveth for ever, whose dominion is an
everlasting* dominion, and his kingdom
is from generation/ to generation :
35 And* all the inhabitants of the earth
are reputed as nothing : and he* doeth ac-

-r> CHAPTER V.
xSELSHAZZAR the king made a great
feast <> to a thousand of his lords, and
drank wine before the thousand.
2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the vsdne,
commanded to bring the golden and sil-
ver vessels^ which his <« father Nebu-
chadnezzar had ^ taken out of the tem-
ple which ivas in Jerusalem ; that the
king, and his princes, his wives, and his
concubines, might drink therein.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels
that were taken out of the temple of the
house of Grod which was at Jerusalem;
and the king, and his princes, his wives,
and his concubines, drank in them.
4 They drank wine, and praised the
gods of gold,* and of silver, of brass, of
iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 In the same hour' came forth fingers
of a man's hand, and wrote over against
the candlestick upon the plaister of the
wall of the king's palace ; and the king
saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Then* the king's "countenance ^^was
changed, and his thoughts troubled him,
so that the P joints of his loins were
loosed, and his knees"* smote one against
another.
7 The king cried <^ aloud to bring in
the astrologers,* the Chaldeans, and
the soothsayers. And the king spake,
and said to the wise men of Babylon,

iLND at that time shall MichaeH stand
up, the great prince which standeth for
the children of thy people ; and-^ there
shall be a time of trouble, such as never
was since there was a nation even to that
same time: and at that time thy* people
shall be delivered, every one that shall be
found written* in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the
dust of the earth shall awake, some to
everlasting life,* and some to' shame and
everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be ^wise shall"' shine
as the brightness of the firmament; and
they that turn many to righteousness, as
the stars" for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut" up the
words, and seal the book, even to the time
of the end ; many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold,
there stood other two, the one on this side
of the "bank of the river, and the other
on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in
linen, which ivas i^ upon the waters of the^
river. How long shall it he to the end of
these wonders ?
7 And I heard the man clothed in
linen, which ivas upon the waters of the
river, when he» held up his right hand
and his left hand unto heaven, and sware
by him that liveth for ever, that it shall be
for a time, times, and " an half ; and when
he shall have accomplished to scatter the
power of the holy people, all these things
shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not;
then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the
end of these things ?
9 And he said. Go thy way, Daniel ; for
the words are closed up and sealed till
the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made
white, and tried; but" the wicked shall
do wickedly : and none of _ the wicked
shall understand; but the wise shall un-
derstand.
11 And from the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be taken away, and "A the
abomination that P maketh desolate set
up, there shall be a thousand two hundred
and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and
cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way tiU the end ie,
5 for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot
at the end of the days.

^ CHAPTER I.
XHE word of the Lokd that came unto
Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of
Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah,
kings of Judah, and in the days of Jero-
boam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 The beginning of the word of the
Lokd by Hosea. And the Loed said
to Hosea, Go, takef unto thee a wife of
whoredoms, and children of whoredoms :
for*^ the land hath committed great whore-
dom, fZepar^eVi^' from the Lord.
3 So he went and took Gomer, the
daughter of Diblaim ; which conceived,
and bare him a son.
4 And the Loed said unto him, Call his
name Jezreel; for yet a little tvhile^ and
I will 1 avenge the blood of* Jezreel upon
the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease
the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 And it shaU come to pass at that
day, that I will break the bow of Israel
in the valley of Jezreel.
6 And she conceived again, and bare a
daughter. And God said unto him. Call
her name ^Lo-ruhamah: for-'' I will /*no
more have mercy upon the house of Is-
rael ; '' but I wiU utterly take them away.
7 But I wiU have mercy upon the
house of Judah,* and wiU save them by
the Loed their* God, and will not save
them by bow, nor by sword, nor by bat-
tle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ru-
hamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said God^ Call his name '^Lo-
ammi : for ye are not my people, and I
will not be your God.
10 Yet the number of the children of
Israel shall be as the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured nor number-
ed: and"' it shall come to pass, that <^m
the place where it was said unto them,
Ye are not" my people, there it shall be
said unto them, Ye are the sons" of the
living God.
11 Then^ shall the children of Judah
and the children of Israel be gathered to-
gether, and appoint themselves one head,
and they shall come up out of the land:
for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
CHAPTER IL
^AY ye unto your brethren, xAmmi;
and to your sisters, '/'Ruhamah.
2 Plead with your mother, plead ; for
she is not my wife, neither am I her
husband : let her therefore put away her
whoredoms* out of her sight, and her
adiilteries from between her breasts ;
3 Lest I strip" her naked, and set her
as in the daj^ that she was born, and make
her as a wilderness,'*' and set her like a
dry land, and slay her with thirst.*
4 And I wOl not have mercy upon
her children ; for they be the children
of whoredoms.
5 For their mother hath played the
harlot ;y she that conceived them hath
done shamefully: for she said, I wiU go
after my lovers, that give* me my bread
and my water, my wool and my flax,
mine oil and my y drink.

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge'
thy way with thorns, and ^makc
that she shall not find her paths.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers,
but she shall not overtake them ; and she
shall seek them, but shall not find them :
then* shall she say, I will go and return
to my first husband ; for then tvas it bet-
ter with me than now.
8 Eor she did not know that I gave
her _ corn, and ywine, and oil, and mul-
tiplied her silver and gold, ^lohich they
prepared for Baal.
9 Therefore will I return, and take
away my corn in the time thereof, and
my wine in the season thereof, and will
S recover my wool and my flax given to
cover her nakedness.
10 And now will I discover her ^lewd-
ness in the sight of her lovers, and none
shall deliver her out of mine hand.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to
cease, her feast days, her new moons, and
her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12 And I will <« destroy her vines and
her fig trees, whereof she hath said. These
are my rewards that my lovers have given
me : audi' I will make them a forest, and
the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 And I will visit upon her the days
of Baalim, wherein she burned incense
to them, and she decked herself with
her earrings and her jewels, and she
went after her lovers, and forgat me,
saith the Loed.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and* bring her into the wilderness, and
speak P comfortably unto her.
15 And I win give her her vineyards
from thence, and the valley' of Achor
for a door of hope; and she shall sing
there, as in the days of her youth, and
as in the day when she came up out of
the land of Egypt.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith
the Loed, that thou shalt call me ^Ishi,
and shalt call me no more ^ Baali.
17 For I wiU take away^ the names of
Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall
no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a cove-
nant for them with the beasts of the field,
and with the fowls of heaven, and xoith
the creeping things of the ground: and*"
I will break the bow, and the sword, and
the battle out of the earth, and will make
them to lie down safely.
19 And I win betroth* thee unto me f9r
ever ; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in
righteousness," and in judgment, and in
lovingkindness, and in mercies :
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in
faithfulness ; and thou shalt know the Loed.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day,
I will hear, saith the LoED, I will hear the
heavens, and they shall hear the earth ;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn,
and the wine, and the oil ; and they shall
hear Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the
earth ; and** I will have mercy upon her

yet,** love a woman beloved of her friend,
yet an adulteress,^ according to the love
of the LOED toward the children of Is-
rael, who 109k to other gods, and love
flagons of r wine.
2 So I bought her to me for fifteen
Jiieces of silver, and for an homer of bar-
ey, and an ^ half homer of barley :
3 And I said unto her. Thou shalt abide
for me many days ; thou shalt not play
the harlot, and thou shalt not be for ano-
ther man : so toill I also he for thee.
4 For the children of Israel shall abide
many days without ^ a king, and mthout
a prince, and without a sacrifice, and
without ^an image, and without an
ephod, and luithoiit teraphim.
5 Afterward shall the cliildren of Israel
return, and seek' the Lord their God, and
David^ their king ; and shall fear the Loed
and his goodness in the latter days.^
-TT CHAPTER lY.
JtlEAR the word of the Loed, ye chil-
dren of Israel : for the Loed hath a con-
troversy" with the inhabitants of the land,
because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor
knowledge" of God, in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and? killing,
and stealing, and committing adultery, they
break out, and '^ blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore'' shall the land mourn, and
every one* that dweUeth therein shall
languish, with the beasts of the field, and
witJi the fowls of heaven ; yea, the fishes
of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove
another: for thy people are as they that
strive* vdth. the priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day,
and the prophet also shall fall with thee in
the night, and I will P destroy thy mother.
6 My people are Pdestroj-ed for« lack
of knowledge : because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that
thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of thy God,
I will also forget thy children.
I A&y they were increased, so they
sinned against me : therefore' wiU I
change their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and
they o" set their heart* on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people, like
priest : and I will '^ punish them for their
ways, and ^ reward them their doings.
10 For they shall eat, and not have
enough: they shall commit whoredom,
and shall not increase : because they
have left off to take heed to the Loed.
II Whoredom,'' and wine,'' and new
wine, take away the heart.
12 My people ask counsel at their
stocks, and their staff" declareth imto
them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath
caused _^Aew to err, and they have gone
a whoring from under their God.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the
niountains, and burn incense upon the
hiUs, xmder oaks and poplars and elms, be-
cause the shadow thereof is good :* therefore
your daughters shall commit whoredom,
and your spouses shall commit adultery.

cause they have transgressed against me :
though I have redeemed them, yet they
have spoken hes against me,
14 And they have not cried unto me
with their heart, when they howled upon

ened their arms, yet do they imagine

16 They return, hut not to the Most
High: they are like a deceitful bow:
their princes shall fall by the sword for

their derision in the land of Egypt.
f^ CHAPTER VIII.
OET the trumpet to »thy mouth: he
shall come as an eagle against the house of

2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God,
we know thee,
3 Israel hath cast off tlie thing that is
good : the enemy shall pursue him.
4 They have set up kingSj^ but not by
me; they have made prmces, and I
knew it not: of their silver and their
gold have they made them idols, that
they may be cut off.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off;
mine anger is kindled against them : how
long ivill it he ere they attain to innocency?
6 For from Israel ivas it also : the work-
man made it ; therefore it is not God : but
the calf of Samaria shall be broken in
pieces.
7 For they have sown the wind, and they
shall reap the whirlwind : it hath no o'stalk :
the bud shall yield no meal : if so be it
yield, the strangers shall swallow it up,
8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall
they be among the Gentiles as a vessel
wherein is no pleasure.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a
wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim
hath hired ^ lovers,
10 Yea, though they have hired among
the nations, now wUl I gather them, and
they shall y sorrow ^a little for the bur-
den of the king of princes.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many
altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 I have written to him the great
things of my law, hut they were counted
as a strange thing.
13 ^They sacrifice flesh for the sacri-
fices of mine offerings, and eat it; hut
the Loed accepteth them not: now will
he remember their iniquity, and visit their
sins : they shall return to Egypt,
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker,
and buildeth temples; and Judah hath
multipHed fenced cities: but I will
send a fire upon his cities, and it shall

6 It shall be also carried imto Assyria
for a present to king Jareb : Ephraim
shall receive shame, and Israel shall be
ashamed of his own counsel.'^
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off
as the foam upon the Y water.
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin «
of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn
and the thistle shall come up on their
altars ; and/ they shall say to the moun-
tains, Cover us ; and to the hiUs, FaU on us.
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the
days of Gibeah; there they stood: the
battle in Gibeah against the children of
iniquity did not overtake them.
10 It is in my desire that I should
chastise them; and the people shall be
gathered against them, when "they shall
bind themselves in their two furrows.
11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is
taught, and loveth to tread out the corn;
but I passed over upon /* her fair neck : I
will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall
plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness,
reap in mercy; break up your fallow
ground: for it is time to seek the Loed, till
he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have
reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit
of Hes: because thou didst trust in thy
way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among
thy people, and all thy fortresses shall
be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-ar-
bel in the day of battle -. the mother was
dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 So shall Beth-el do unto you because
of " your great wickedness : in a morning
shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
^j. CHAPTER XI.
W HEN Israel toas a child, then I loved
him, and" called my son out of Egypt.
2 As they called them, so they went
from them : they sacrificed unto Baalim,
and burned incense to graven images.
3 IP taught Ephraim also to go, taking
them by their arms; but they knew not
that I healed them.
4 I drew them with cords of a man,
with bands of love : and I was to them
as they that Ptake off the yoke on their
jaws, and I laid meat xinto them.
5 He shall not return into the land of
Egypt, Tfeut the Assyrian shall be his
king, because they refused to return.
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities,
and shall consume his branches, and de-
vour them^ because of their own counsels.
7 And my people are bent to backslid-
ing from me : though they called them to
the Most High, Xnone at all would ex-
alt him.
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim ?
how shall I deUver thee, Israel? how
shall I make thee as Admah ? hoio shall I
set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned
within me, my repentings are kindled
together.
9 I wiU not execute the fierceness of
mine anger, I will not return to destroy
Ephraim: for« I am God, and not man;
the Holy One in the midst of thee: and
I will not enter into the city.
10 They shall walk after the Loed ; he
shall roar like a lion : when he shall roar.
The crimes of Israel.
then the children shall tremble from the
west.
11 They shall tremble as a bird out of
Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of
Assyria: and I will place them in their
houses, saith the Loed.
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with
hes,* and the house of Israel with deceit :
but Judah yet ruleth with Grod, and is
faithful with'the Y saints.
T-^ CHAPTER XII.
-fcjPHRAIM feedeth on wind, and fol-
loweth after the east wind: he daily in-
creaseth hes and desolation; and they
do make a covenant with the Assyrians,
and oil*' is carried into Egypt.
2 The Loed hath also a controversy
with Judah, '^ and will ^punish Jacob
according to his ways; according* to his
doings will he recompense him.
3 He*' took his brother by the heel in
the womb, and by his strength he "had
power with Grod:»
4 Yea, he had power over the angel,
and prevailed; he wept, and made sup-
plication unto him: he found him in
Beth-el,* and there he spake with us ;
5 Even the Loed Grod of hosts; the
Loed is his memorial. »»
6 Therefore tm'n thou to thy God : keep
mercy and judgment, and wait on thy
God continually.
7 jSe is " a merchant, the balances of de-
ceit are in his hand : he loveth to ^ oppress.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become
rich," I have found me out substance:
in P all my labours they shaU find none
iniquity in me <^ that were sin.
9 And I, that' am the Loed thy God
from the land of Egypt, will yet make
thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the
days of the solemn feast.
10 iP have also spoken bj the prophets,
and I have multiplied visions, and used
similitudes, by the ^ministry of the pro-
phets,
11 is iAere iniquity in G;ilead? surely
they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks
in Gilgal;9 yea, their altars are as heaps
in the furrows of the fields.
12 And Jacob fled'" into the country of
Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and
for a wife he kept sheep.
13 And by a prophet the Loed brought
Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet
was he preserved.
14 Ephraim provoked him to anger
V'most bitterly: therefore shall he leave
his ^ blood upon him, and his reproach
shall' his Lord return unto him.
.^j CHAPTER XIII.
When Ephraim spake trembling, he
exalted himself in Israel; but when he
ofiended in Baal, he died.
2 And now tney ^sin more" and more,
and have made them molten images of
their silver, and idols according to their
own understanding, aU of it the work of
the craftsmen : they say of them, Let the
'^men that sacrifice kiss"* the calves.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morn-
ing cloud, and as the early dew that pass-
eth away ; as the chafi"* that is driven
with the whirlwind out of the floor, and
as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Yet I am the Loed thy God from
the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know
no god but me: for there is no saviour
beside me.

6 According to their pasture, so were

7 Therefore I will be unto them as a
hon; as a leopard by the way wfll I ob-
serve them :
8 1 will meet them as a bear that is
bereaved of her whelps^ and will rend the
caul of their heart, and there will I de-
vour them like a lion: the ^wild beast

9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself;
but in me iis tliine help,
10 '?! wiU be thy king: where is any
other that may save thee in all thy cities ?
and thy judges, of whom thou saidst,
Give me a king and princes ?
11 I gave/ thee a king in mine anger,
and took him away* in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound
up ; his sin is hid.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman
shaU come upon him: he is an unwise
son; for he should not stay ^long in the
place ©/"the breaking forth of children.
14 I* will ransom them from the m power
of the grave; I wiU redeem them from
death : O death, I will be thy plagues ;
O grave, I will be thy destruction: re-
pentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
15 Though he be fruitful among his
brethren, an east wind shall come, the
wind of the Loed shall come up from
the wilderness, and his spring shaU be-
come dry, and his fountain shaU be dried
up: he shaU spoil the treasure of all
T pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria" shall become desolate; for
she hath rebelled agaiast her God: they
shall fall by the sword ; their infants shall
be dashed in pieces, and their women
with child shall be ripped up.
^ CHAPTER XIV.
Kj ISRAEL, return unto the Loed thy
God; for thou hast fallen by thine ini-
quity.
2 Take with you words, and turn to the
LoED: say unto him. Take away all ini-
quity, and X receive us graciously: so
will we render the calves* of our lips.
3 Asshm* shall not save us ; we will not ride
upon horses ; neither will we say any more
to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods :
for in thee the fatherless nndeth mercy.
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will
love them freely : for mine anger is turned
away from him.
5 I will be as the dew unto Israel : he
shall ygrow as the lily, and ^cast forth
his roots as Lebanon.
6 His branches shall s spread, and his
beauty shall be as the oUve tree, and hia
smeU as Lebanon,
7 They that dwell under his shadow"
shall return; they shall revive as the
corn, and ^grow as the vine: the "scent
thereof #^aZ^ be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim shall say^ What have I to do
any more with idols? I have heard him,
and observed him: I am like a green fir
tree. From me is thy fruit found.
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand
these things? prudent, and he shall know
them? for the ways of the Loed are
right, and the just shall walk in them:
but the transgressors shall fall therein.

AMOS.
r^ CHAPTER I.
XHE words of Amos, who was among
the herdmen" of Tekoa,* wluch he saw
concerning Israel in the days*^ of Uzziah
king of Judah, and in the days of Jero-
boam the son of Joash king of Israel, two
years before the earthquake.''
2 And he said, The Loed will* roar
from Zion, and utter his voice from
Jerusalem; and the habitations of the
shepherds shall mourn, and the top of
Carmel shall wither.
3 Thus saith the Loed, Eor tliree trans-
gressions of Damascus, ^and for four,
I will not yturn away the^ punishment
thereof; because* they have threshed Gi-
lead with threshing instruments of iron :
4 But I wiU send a fire into the house
of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces
of Ben-hadad.
5 I wiU break* also the bar of Damas-
cus, and cut off the inhabitant from ^the
plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the
sceptre from ^the house of Eden: and
the people of Syria shall go* into cap-
tivity unto Kir, saith the Loed.
6 Thus saith the Loed, For three trans-
gressions of G-aza, and for four, I wOl not
turn away the punishment thereof; because
they V carried away captive the whole cap-
tivity, to deliver them up to Edom :
7 But " I will send a fire on the wall of Ga-
za, which shaU devour the palaces thereof:
8 And I will cut ofi" the inkabitant from
Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scep-
tre from Ashkelon ; and I wiU turn mine
hand against Ekron: and the remnant
of the Philistines^ shaU perish, saith the
Lord God.
9 Thus saith the Loed, For three
transgressions of Tyrus,' and for four,
I will not turn away the punishment
thereof; because they delivered up the
whole captivity to Edom, and remem-
bered not the ^ brotherly covenant :
10 But I will send a fire on the wall
of Tyrus, which shaU. devour the palaces
thereof
11 Thus saith the Loed, For three
transgressions of Edom,* and for four,
I will not turn away the punishment
thereof; because he did pursue his bro-
ther with the sword, and f^did cast off
all pity, and his anger did tear perpetu-
ally," and he kept his wrath for ever :
12 But I win send a fire upon Teman,
which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Thus saith the Loed, For three trans-
gressions of the children of Ammon," and
lor four, I will not turn away the punish-
ment thereof; because they have P ripped
up* the women with child of Gilead, that
they might enlarge their border :
14 But I win kindle a fire in the wall
of Eabbah, and it shaU devour the pa-
laces thereof, with shouting in the day
of battle, with a tempest in the day of
the whirlwind :
15 And their king shall go into capti-
vity, he and his princes together, saith
the Loed.

months to the harvest: and I caused it
to rain upon one citj', and caused it not
to rain upon another city : one piece was
rained upon, and the piece whereupon it
rained not withered.
8 So two or three cities wandered unto
one city, to drink water; but they were
not satisfied: yet have ye not returned
imto me, saith the Loed.
9 I have smitten you with blasting'' and
mildew: 8 when your gardens and your
vineyards, and your fig trees, and j'our
ohve trees increased, the palmerworm
devoured them: yet/ have ye not re-
turned unto me, saith the Loed.
10 I have sent among you the pesti-
lence 1 after* the manner of Egypt: your
young men have I slain with the sword,
^and have taken away your horses; and
I have made the stink of your camps to
come up unto your nostrils : yet have ye
not returned unto me, saith the Loed.
11 I have overthrown some of you, as
God overthrew Sodom' and Gomorrah,
and ye were as a firebrand™ plucked out
of the burning : yet have ye not returned
unto me, saith the Loed.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee,
O Israel : and because I wiU do this unto
thee, prepare^ to meet thy God, O Israel.
13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains,
and createth the Mwind, and declareth
unto man what is his thought,^ that maketh
the morning darkness, and treadeth upon
the high places of the earth. The Loed,
The God of hosts, is his name.
-rj- CHAPTER V.
JtlEAR ye tliis word which I take up
against you, even a lamentation, O house
of Israel.
2 The virgin* of Israel is fallen; she
shall no more rise : she is forsaken upon
her land ; there is none to raise her up.
3 For thus saith the Lord God, The
city that went out hy a thousand shall
leave an hundred, and that wliich went
forth hy an hundred shall leave ten, to
the house of Israel.
4 For thus saith the Loed unto the house
of Israel, Seek* ye me, and ye shall Uve :
5 But seek not Beth-el,^ nor enter into
GQgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for
GUgal shall surely go into captivity, and
Beth-el shall come to nought.
6 Seek the Loed, and ye shall live;
lest he break out like fire in the house of
Joseph, and devour it, and there be none
to quench it in Beth-el.
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood,
and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars
and Orion, and turneth the shadow of
death into the morning, and maketh the
day dark with night : that calleth for the
waters of the sea, and poureth them out
upon the face of the earth : The Loed is
his name : , , ,, j i i
9 That strengtheneth the <^ spoiled
agamst the strong, so that the spoiled
shaU come against the fortress ,
10 They hate> him that rebuketh in the
gate, and they abhor him that speaketh
uprightly. , , - , j
11 Forasmuch, therefore, as your tread-
ing is upon the poor, and ye take from him
burdens of wheat ; ye have built houses
of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell m
them; ye have planted ^pleasant vine-
yards, but ye shall not drink wine ot them.

Danger of false secimti/. AMOS, VI.
12 Tor I know your manifold transgress-
ions and your mighty sins : they afflict the
just * they take a ^ bribe, "^ and they turn
aside/ the poor in the gsite from their rigid.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep si-
lences' in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good,'' and not evil, that ye may
live ; and so the Lord, the Uod of hosts,
shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and
estabhsh judgment in the gate: it' may
be that the Loed Grod of hosts will be
gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore the Loed, the God of
hosts, the Lord, saith thus, Wailing shall he
in all streets ; and they shall say in all the
highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call
the husbandman to mourning, and such'
as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
17 And in all vineyards shall he wailing :
for I will pass through thee, saith the Loed.
18 Woe unto you that desu'e the day of the
Lord ! to what end is it for you? the day"
of the Loed is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a Hon, and
a bear met him ; or went into the house,
and leaned his hand on the wall, and a
serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the Lord he
darkness, and not light ? even very dark,
and no brightness in it ?
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I
will not smell ^ in your solemn assembhes.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings
and your meat offerings, I'" will not accept
them: neither will I regard the ^ peace
offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from me the noise
of thy songs; for I will not hear the
melody of thy viols.
24 But* let judgment /^ run down as wa-
ters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices''
and offerings in the wilderness forty
years, O house of Israel?
26 But ye have borne '^the tabernacle
of your Moloch and Chiuu your images,
the star of your god, which ye made to
yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into
captivity beyond y Damascus, saith the
Loed, whose name is The Grod of hosts.
■^^ CHAPTER YI.
Woe to them that are Pat ease* in
Zion, and trust in the mountain of Sama-
ria, ^vhich are named o" chief" of the na-
tions, to whom the house of Israel came !
2 Pass ye unto Calneh,* and see; and
fi'om thence go ye to Hamath the great:
then go down to Grath of the Philistines :
he they better than these kingdoms ? or
their border greater than your border ?
3 Ye that put far away« the evil day, and
cause the "^ seat of violence to come near ;
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and
^stretch themselves upon their couches,
and eat the lambs out of the flock, and
the calves out of the midst of the stall ;
5 That X chant to the sound of the
viol,* and invent to themselves instru-
ments of music, like David ;'
6 That drink "A wine iii bowls, and
anoint themselves with the cliief oint-
ments ; but they are not grieved for the

Threatenings of judgments
8 The Lord God hath sworn by him-
self,« saith the Loed, the Grod of hosts,
I abhor'' the excellency « of Jacob, and
hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver
up the city, wth V aU that is therein.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there
remain ten men in one house, that they
shall die.
10 And a man's uncle shall take him
up, and he that burneth him, to bring out
the bones out of the house, and shall say
unto him that is by the sides of the house.
Is there yet any with thee ? and he shall
saj'-, No. Then shall he say, Hold* thy
tongue; for ^we may not make mention
of the name of the Loed.
11 For, behold, the Lord commandeth,
and he will smite the great house with
i breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock ? will
one plow there with oxen? for ye have
turned judgment"' into gall, and the fruit
of righteousness into hemlock :<'
13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought,
which say. Have we not taken to us horns
by our own strength ?
14 But, behold, I will raise p up against
you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the
Loed, the U-od of hosts ; and they shall
afflict you from the entering in of Hemath
unto? the i river of the wilderness,
rp CHAPTER YII.
JLHUS hath the Lord God shewed unto
me; and, behold, he formed '^ grasshop-
pers in the beginning of the shooting up
of the latter growth; and. lo, it was the
latter growth after the king s mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they
had made an end of eating the grass of the
land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive,
I beseech thee;* ''by whom shall Jacob
arise? for he is small."
3 The Loed repented"' for this: It
shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto
me ; and, behold, the Lord God called to
contend by fire,* and it devoured the
great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I be-
seech thee ; by whom shall Jacob arise ?
for he is small.
6 The Lord repented for this : This also
shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Thus he shewed me ; and, behold, the
Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumb-
line, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos,
what seest thou? And I said, A plumb-
line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I
wiU set a plumbline*' in the midst of my
people Israel: I wiU not again pass by
them*^ any more:
9 And the high places/ of Isaac shall be
desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel
shaU. be laid waste ; and I will rise against
the house of Jeroboam with the sword.*'
10 Then Amaziah, the priest* of Beth-
el, sent to Jeroboam' king of Israel, say-
ing, Amos hath conspired against thee in
the midst of the house of Israel ; the land
is not able to bear aU his words.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall
die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be
led away captive out of their own land.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O
thou seer, go, flee thee away into the
land of Judah, and there eat bread, and
prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at
Sin and doom of oppressors.
Betli-el: for" it is the king's ^cliapel,
and it is tlie V king's court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to
Amaziah, I* was no prophet, neither teas
I a prophet's son : but I teas an herdman,'"
and a gatherer of v sycamore fruit :
15 And the Loed took me ^as I fol-
lowed the flock, and the Loed said unto
me, Go, prophesj' unto my people Israel.
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of
the Loed : Thou sayest, Prophesy not/
against Israel, and drops' not thi/ word
against the house of Isaac.
17 Therefore ^ thus saith the Loed ;
Thy wife shall be an harlot* in the city,
and thy sons and thy daughters shall
fall by the sword, and thy land shall be
divided by line; and thou shalt die in a
polluted land : and Israel shall surely
go into captivity forth of his land.
rp CHAPTER VIIL
X HITS hath the Lord GrOD shewed unto
me : and, behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou ?
And I said, A basket of summer fruit.
Then said the Loed unto me. The end™
is come upon my people of Israel ; I "
will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs^ of the temple '«shaU
be bowlings in that day, saith the Lord
God : therei shall he many dead bodies in
every place; they shall cast them forth
mth " silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up
the needy, even to make the poor of the
land to fail,
5 Saying, When* wiU the "^new moon
be gone, that we may seU. corn? and the
sabbath,* that we may Pset forth wheat,
making the ephah small," and the shekel
great, and <'" falsifying the balances'" by
deceit ?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver,
and the needy for a pair of shoes ; yea,
and sell the refuse of the wheat ?
7 The Loed hath sworn by the excel-
lency of Jacob, Surely I willy never
forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this,
and every one mourn* that dwelleth
therein? and it shall rise up whoUy as a
flood ; and it shall be cast out and
drowned, as hy the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that daj^
saith the Lord God, that I wiU cause the
sun to go down at noon,* and I will
darken the earth in the clear day :
10 And I will turn your feasts into
mourning, and aU your songs into lamen-
tation ; and I will bring up '' sackcloth
upon all loins, and baldness upon every
head ; and I wiU make it as the'^ mourn-
ing of an only son, and the end thereof
as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord
God, that I wiU send a famine in the land ;
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for wa-
ter, huts' of hearing the words of the Loed :
12 And they shall wander from sea to
sea, and from the north even to the east ;
they shall run to and fro to seek the word
of the Loed, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins
and young men faint for' thirst.
14 They that swear* by the sin' of
Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan,
liveth ; and. The ^ manner of Beer-sheba
liveth;" even they shall fall, and never
rise up again.
AMOS, IX. Promises of meroy.
1- CHAPTER IX.
X SAW the Lord standing upon the al-
tar: and he said, Smite the ^lintel of
the door, that the posts mav shake: and
fcut them in the head,'^ all of them;
and I will slay the last of them with the
sword : he that fleeth of them shall not
flee away, and he that escapeth of them
shall not be delivered.
2 Though « they dig into hell, thence
shall mine hand take them; though they
cUmb up to heaven,'' thence wiU I bring
them down :
3 And though they hide themselves in
the top of Carmel, I will search and take
them out thence ; and though they be hid
from my sight in the bottom of the sea,
thence wiU I command the serpent, and
he shall bite them :
4 And though they go into captivity
before their enemies, thence' will I com-
mand the sword, and it shall slay them :
and I will set mine eyes upon them for
evil, and not for good.
5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that
toucheth the land, and it shall melt," and
all that dwell therein shall mourn : and it
shall rise up wholly like a flood ; and shall
be drowned, as hy the flood of Egypt.
6 It is he that buildeth his ^ stories in the
heaven, and hath founded his M- troop in
the earth ; he that caUeth for the waters
of the sea, and poureth them out upon
the face of the earth; The Loed is his
name.
7 Are ye not as children of the Ethio-
pians unto me, O children of Israel ? saith
the Loed. Have not I brought up Israel
out of the land of Egypt ? and the Philis-
tines" from Caphtor, and the Syrians
from Kir ?
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God
are upon the sinful kingdom, and I wiU
destroy it from oif the face oi the earth ;
saving that I will not''' utterly destroy
the house of Jacob, saith the Loed.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will
Tsift the house of Israel among aU
nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve,
yet shall not the least "l» grain fall upon
the earth.
10 AU the sinners of my people shall
die by the sword, which say. The evil
shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In« that day will I raise up the
tabernacle of David that is fallen, and
X close up the breaches thereof: and I
\vill raise up his ruins, and I wiU build
it as in the days of old :
12 That they may possess the remnant
of Edom, and of all the heathen, "A which
are called hj my name, saith the Loed
that doeth this.
13 Behold, the days come, saith the
Loed, that* the plowman shall overtake
the reaper, and the treader of grapes him
that /3soweth seed; and/ the mountains
shall drop V sweet wine, and all the hills
shall melt.
14 And* I will bring again the captivity
of my people of Israel, and they shall
build the waste cities, and inhabit them;
and they shall plant vineyards, and
drink the wine thereof; they shall also
make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will"* plant them upon then-
land, and they shall no more be pulled
up out of their land which I have given
them, saith the Loed thy God.

The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith
the Lord God concerning Edom,* We
have heard a rumour from the Loed,
and an ambassador is sent among the
heathen. Arise j^e, 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 thine heart hath de-
ceived thee, thou that dwellest in the
clefts of the rock, whose habitation is
high; that saith'' in his heart, Who shall
bring me down to the ground?
4 Though"^ thou exalt thyself as the
eagle, and though thou set thy nest
among the stars, thence will I bring thee
down, saith the Loed.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by
night, (how art thou cut off!) would they
not have stolen till they had enough? if
the grapegatherers came to thee, would
they not leave i some grapes ?
6 How are the things of Esau searched
out!*' hoio are his hidden* things sought
up!
7 All the men of thy confederacy have
brought thee even to the border ; the
men f*that were at peace with thee have
deceived thee, and prevailed against
thee ; V they that eat thy bread have laid
a wound imder thee : there^ is none un-
derstanding 'T in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the
Loed, even destroy the wise men out of
Edom, and understanding out of the
mount of Esau ?
9 And thy mighty"* men^ O Teman,
shall be dismayed, to the end that every
one of the mount of Esau may be cut off
by slaughter.
10 For thy violence" against thy bro-
ther Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and
thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou stoodest on
the other side, in the day that the stran-
gers carried away captive <^his forces,
and foreigners entered into his gates,
and cast lots'" upon Jerusalem, even thou
%vast as one of them.

on the day of thy brother in the day that
he became a stranger; neither shouldest
thou have rejoiced over the children of
Judah m the day of their destruction;
neither shouldest thou have 7 spoken
proudly in the day of distress.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into

calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have
looked on their affliction in the day of
their calamity, nor have laid hands on their
5 substance in the day of their calamity ;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood
in the crossway, to cut off those of his
that did escape ; neither shouldest thou
have ^delivered iip those of his that did
remain in the day of distress.
15 Eor* the day of the Loed is near
upon aU the heathen ; as/ thou hast done,
it shall be done unto thee : thy reward
shall return upon thine own head.
16 Eor as ye have drunk upon my holy
mountain, so shall all the heathen drink
continually, yea, they shall drink, and
they shall ^ swallow down, and they shall
be as though they had not been.
17 But »upon moimt Zion shall be
K deliverance, and ^ there shall be hoU-
ness ; and the house of Jacob shall pos-
sess their possessions.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire,*
and the house of Joseph a flame, and the
house of Esau for stubble, and they shall
kindle in them, and devour them; and
there shall not be any remaioing of the
house of Esau ; for the Loed hath spoken it.
19 And they of the south shall possess
the" mount of Esau : and they of the plain
the Philistines ; and they shall possess the
fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Sa-
maria ; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 And the captivity of this host of the
children of Israel shall possess that of the
Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and
the captivity of Jerusalem, P which is in
Sepharad, shall possess the cities p of
the south.
21 And saviours 9 shall come up on mount
Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and
the kingdom* shaU be the Lord's.

JM OW the word of the Loed came unto
P Jonah the" son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh,* that great
city, and cry against it; for their wick-
edness is come up*^ before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tar-
shish, from the presence^ of the Loed,
and went down to Joppa;* and he found
a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the
fare thereof, and went dovm into it, to
go with them unto Tarshish from the
presence of the Loed.
4 But the Loed Vsent outf a great
wind into the sea, and there was a mighty
tempest in the sea, so that the ship was
2 hke to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and
cried every man unto his god, and* cast

forth the wares that were in the ship into
the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jo-
nah was gone down into the sides of the
ship ; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said
unto liim. What meanest thou, O sleeper ?
arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God
will think upon us, that v.-e perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fel-
low. Come, and let us cast lots,/ that
we may know for whose cause this evil
is upon us. So they cast lots, and the
lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, TeU us, we
pray thee, for whose cause this evil is
upon us ; What is thine occupation ? and
whence comest thou? what is thy coun-
try ? and of what people art thou ?
9 And he said unto them, I am an

Hebrew: and I fear ^the Lord, the
God of heaven, which" hath made the
sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men "y exceedingly
afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou
done this ? For the men knew that he fled
from the presence of the Loud, because
he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shaU
we do unto thee, that the sea may be
^calm unto us? for the sea f wrought,
and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up,
and cast me forth into the sea : so shaU the
sea be calm unto you ; for I know that for
my*' sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless, the men " rowed hard
to bring it to the land ; but they could
not : for the^ sea wrought, and was tem-
pestuous against them. _
14 Wherefore they cried unto the Loed,
and said. We beseech thee, O Loed, we
beseech thee, let us not perish for this
man's life, and^ lay not upon us innocent
blood: for thou, O Loed, hast done as
it pleased thee.
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him
forth into the sea; and the sea ^ceased
from her raging.
16 Then* the men feared the Loed ex-
ceedinglj', and f* offered a sacrifice unto
the Loed, and v made vows.
17 Now the Loed had prepared a great
fish to swaUow up Jonah. And* Jonah
was in the 't belly of the fish three days
and tliree nights.
r^ CHAPTER II.
XHEN Jonah prayed unto the Loed
his Grod out of the fish's beUy,
2 And said, I* cried Pby reason of
mine affliction unto the Loed, and he
heard me; out' of the belly of o'hell cried
I, and thou heardest" my voice.
3 For" thou hadst cast me into the
deep, in the <^ midst of the seas; and the
floods compassed me about: all thy bil-
lows^ and tliy waves passed over me.
4 Then? I said, I am cast out of thy
sight; yet I will look again toward'" thy
holy temple.
5 The waters compassetl me about,*
even to the soul: the depth closed me
round about, the weeds were wrapped
about my head.
6 I went down to the '/'bottoms of the
mountains : the earth with her bars tvas
about me for ever : yet* hast thou brought
up my life from V corruption, O Loed
my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I
remembered the Loed : and my praj-^er
came" in tmto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 They* that observe lying vanities
forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice'" unto thee with the
voice of thanksgiving ; I will pay that that
I have vowed. Salvation is of the Loed.
10 And* the Loed spake unto the fish,
and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
. CHAPTER III.
And the word of the Loed came unto
Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go tmto Nineveh, that great
city, and preach unto it the preaching
that I bid thee,
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nine-
veh, according to the word of the Loed.
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 people of Nineveh believed
God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on
sackcloth, from the greatest of them even
to the least of them.
6 For word came unto the king of Ni-
neveh, and he arose from his throne, and
he laid his robe from him, and covered
him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed
and 'JpubUshed through Nineveh, by
the_ decree of the king and his » nobles,
saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd
nor flock, taste any thing; let them not
feed, nor drink water.
8 But let man and beast be covered
with sackcloth,"^ and cry mightily unto
God : yea, let them turn every one from
his evil way, and from the violence that
is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God wUl turn and
repent, and turn away from his fierce
anger, that we perish not ?
10 And God saw/ their works, that they
turned^' from their evil way ; and God re-
pented of the evil that he had said that he
would do unto them ; and he did it not.

UT it displeased Jonah exceedingly,
and he was very angry.
2 And he prayed unto the Loed, and
said, I pray thee, O Loed, toas not this
my saying, when I was yet in my country ?
Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish:
for I knew that thou art a gracious God,
and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and repentest thee of the evil ;
3 Therefore, now, O Loed, take, I be-
seech thee, my life from me; for"» it is
better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the Loed, ^Doest thou
well to be angry?
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and
sat on the east side of the city, ana there
made him a booth, and sat under it ii> the
shadow, till he might see what would
become of the city.
6 And the Loed God prepared a X gourd,
and made it to come up over Jonah, that
it might be a shadow over his head, to
deliver him from his grief. So Jonah
^ was exceeding glad of the gourd.
7 But God prepared a worm when the
morning rose the next day, and it smote
the gourd that it withered.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun
did arise, that God prepared a 5 vehement
east wind ; and the sun beat upon the
head of Jonah, that he faulted, and wished
in himself to die, and said, It is better
for me to die than to live.
9 And God said to Jonah, sDoest thou
well to be angry for the gourd ? And he
said, ■^I do well to be angry, even unto

«had pity on the gourd, for the which
thou hast not laboured, neither madest it

iHE word of tlie Loed that came to Mi-
cah'' the Morasthite in the days of Jotham,
AJiaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which
he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear, ^all ye people; hearken/ O
earth, and vail that therein is: and let
tlie Lord GrOD be witness '^ against you,
the Lord from his holy temple.
3 For, behold, the Lord cometh forth
out of his place, and will come down, and
tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 And the mountains shall be molten
under him, and the valleys shall be cleft,
as wax before the fire, and as the waters
tJiat are poiired down a ^ steep place,
5 Eor/ the transgression of Jacob is all
this, and for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob ? is it
not Samaria ? and what are the high places
of Judah ? are they not Jerusalem ?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an
heap of the field, and as plantings of a
vineyard : and I will pour down the
stones thereof into the valley, and I will
discover the foundations thereof.
7 And all the gi'aven images thereof shall
be beaten to pieces, and all the hires there-
of shall be burned with the fire, and all the
idols thereof will I lay desolate : for she
gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and
they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will
go stripped and naked: I will make a
wailing like the dragons, and mourning
as the ''"owls.
9 For ^her wound is incurable; for it
is come* unto Judah; he is come unto the
gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye
not at all : in the house of ^ Aphrah roll
thyself in the dust.
11 Pass ye away, Xthou '/'inhabitant
of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the
inhabitant of ^Zaanan came not forth
in the mourning of yBeth-ezel; he shall
receive of you his standing.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth 5 waited
carefully for good; but evil came down
from the LOED unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind
the chariot to the swift beast : she is the
beginning of the sin to the daughter of
Zion; for the transgressions of Israel
were found in thee.
14 Therefore shalt thou give presents
^to Moresheth-gath : the houses of n Ach-
zib shall he a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Yet wiU I bring an heir unto thee, O
inhabitant of Mareshah: ^he shall come
unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy
dehcate '^ children ; enlarge thy baldness
as the eagle ; for they are gone into cap-
tivity from thee.

IN OW gather thyself in troops, O daugh-

us; they shall smite" the judge of Israel
with a rod upon the cheek.
2 Buti'thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah,;^AoM/77i
thou be little among the thousands of Ju-
dah, yet out of thee shall he come forth un-
to me that is to be ruler'" in Israel; whose
goings forth have been from of old, from
b everlasting.'
3 Therefore will he give them up, un-
til the time that she wliich travaileth
hath _ brought forth ; then the remnant
of his brethren shall return unto the
children of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and 'J feed in the
strength of the Lord, in the majesty of
the name of the Lord his God; and
they shall abide: for now shall he be
great unto the ends of the earth.
5 And this man shall be the^ peace, when
the Assyrian shall come into our land;
and when he shall tread in our palaces,
then shall we raise against him seven
shepherds, and eight ^principal men.
6 And they shall "waste the land of
Assyria with the sword, and the land of
NimrodM- in the entrances thereof: thus
shall hey deliver us from the Assyrian,
when he cometh into our land, and when
he treadeth within our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be
in the midst of many people, as a* dew
from the Lord, as the showers upon
the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor
waiteth for the sons of men.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be
among the Gentiles in the midst of many
people, as a lion among the beasts of the
forest, as a young lion among the flocks
of »* sheep; who, if he go through, both
treadeth down, and teareth in pieces,
and none can dehver.
9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon
thine adversaries, and all thine enemies
shall be cut off". ,
10 And it shall come to pass m that
day, saith the Lord, that I will cut off
thy horses out of the midst of thee, and
I wiU destroy thy chariots: .^, , ,
11 And I will cut off^ the cities of thy land,
and throw down all thy strong holds :

wore soothsayers;™ ... ^ ,
13 Thy graven images also" will 1 cut
off, and thy P standing images out of the

JtlEAE ye now what the Lord saith;
Arise, contend thou ^before the moun-
tains," and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Hear ye, O moxintains, the Lord's
controversj% and ye strong foundations
of the earth: for* the Loed hath a con-
troversy with his people, and he will
plead with Israel,
3 0 my people, whaf have I done
unto thee? and wherein have I wearied
thee ? testify against me.
4 For I brought* thee up out of the
land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out
of the house of servants ; and I sent be-
fore thee Moses, Aaron, and IMiriam.
5 O my people, remember now what
Balak/ king of Moab consulted, and
what Balaam the son of Beor answered
him from Shittim imto Gilgal: that ye
may know the righteousness* of the
Loed.
6 Wherewith shall I come before the
Lord, and bow myself before the high
G-od ? shall I come before him with burnt
offerings, with calves ^ of a year old ?
7 Will^ the Lord be pleased with
thousands of rams, or with ten thou-
sands of rivers of oil? shall I give my
firstborn'' for my transgression, the fruit
of my ^ body /or the sin of my sotd ?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is
good; and what^ doth the Loed require
of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to ^ walk humbly with thy God ?
9 The Lord's voice crietli unto the
city, and ^tlie man of wisdom shall see
thy name: hear ye the rod, and who
hath appointed it.
10 ^Are there yet the treasures of
wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the ''scant measure that is abomi-
nable?'"
11 Shall I P count them pure with the
wicked balances, and with the bag of
deceitful weights ?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of
violence, and the inhabitants thereof have
spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful
in their mouth.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sick
in smiting thee, in making thee desolate'
because of thy sins.
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied;
and thy casting down shall he in the midst
of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but
shalt not deliver; and that which thou
deliverest will I give up to the sword.
15 Thou" shalt sow, but thou shalt not
reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but
thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and
sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
16 For ^the statutes of Omri"' are kept,
and all the works of the house of Ahab,
and ye walk in their coimsels; that I
should make thee a '/'desolation, and the
inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore
ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

ther, the daughter in law against her

Lord, because I have sinned against
him, until he plead my cause and exe-
cute judgment for me: he will bring me
forth" to the light, and I shall behold his
righteousness,

see it, and shame shall cover her which
said imto me. Where is the Lord thy
God? mine ej^es shall behold her: "now
shall she be trodden^ down as the mire

built, in that day shall the decree be far
removed.

to thee from Assyria^ ""and from the
fortified cities, and from the fortress
even to the river, and from sea to sea,

be desolate because of them that dwell
therein, for the fruit of then* doings.

the flock of thine heritage, which dwell
solitarily in the wood, in the midst of
Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and
GUead, as in the days of old,
15 According to the days of thy coming
out of the land of Egypt wiU I shew unto
him marvellous things.
16 The nations shall see and be con-
founded at all their might: they shall
lay their hand upon their mouth, their
ears shall be deaf,
17 They shall lick^ the dust hke a ser-
Eent, they shall move out of their holes
keX worms of the earth: they shall be
afraid of the Lord our God, and shall
fear because of thee,

pardoneth* iniquity, and passeth by the
transgression of the remnant of his heri-
tage? he retaineth not his anger for ever,^
because he deUghteth in mercy.
19 He will turn again, he ^viU have
compassion upon us; he will" subdue
our iniquities : and thou wilt cast all
their sins'' into the depths of the sea.

Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which
thou hast sworn unto our fathers from

2 7 God is jealous," and the Loed re-
vengeth;* the Lokd revengeth, and $is

on his adversaries, and he reserveth torath

3 The Loed is slow to anger, and great

toicked: the Loed JiatJi his way in the
whirlwind and in the storm, and the
clouds are the dust of liis feet.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it
dry, and drieth up all the rivers : Bashan
languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower
of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountains ^^ quake at him, and
•the hills melt, and the earth is burned at
liis presence, yea, the world, and all that
dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before liis indignation ?
and who can <'" abide in the fierceness of
his anger ? his fury is poured out like fire,

7 The Loed is good, a t" strong hold in

8 But with an overrunning flood he
will make an utter end of the place there-
of, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye imagine against the

tion shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while/ they be folden together

as drunkards, they shall be devoured as

shall they be ^cut do\vn, when he shall
pass through. Though I have afllicted
thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 For now wiU I break his yoke from off
thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 And the Loed hath given a com-
mandment concerning thee, that no more
of thy name be sown : out of the house of
thy gods will I cut off the graven image
and the molten image; I will make thy
grave ; for thou art vile.
15 Behold* upon the mountains the

phet did see.
2 O LOED, how long shall I cry, and
thou" wilt not hear! even cry out unto
thee q/" violence, and thou wilt not save!
3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and
cause me to behold grievance ? for spoiling
and violence are before me : and there are
that raise up strife and contention.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judg-
ment doth never go forth : for the wicked
doth compass about the righteous ; there-
fore ^ wrong judgment proceedeth.
5 Behold ye among the heathen, and
regard, and wonder marvellously: for<' I
will work a work in your days, which ye
win not believe, though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up thc^ Chaldeans, that
bitter and hasty nation, which shall march
through the ^breadth of the land, to pos-
sess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.
7 They are terrible and dreadful :
Mtheu" judgment and their dignity shall
proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the
leopards, and are more ''fierce than the
evening wolves : and their horsemen shall
spread themselves, and their horsemen
shall come from far ; they shall fly as the
eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come aU for violence;
P their faces shall sup up as the east wind,
and they shall gather the captivity as
the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and
the princes shall be a scorn imto them;
they shall deride every strong hold; for
they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he
shall pass over, and offend, imputing this
his power unto his god.

13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of

7 I saw the tents of ^ Cushan ^ in afllic-
tion : and the curtains of the land of Mi-
dian did tremble.
8 Was the Lord displeased against the
rivers ? was thine anger against the rivers ?
toas thy wrath against the sea, that thou
didst ride upon thine horses and thy cha-
riots ^ of salvation ?
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, ac-
cording to the oaths of the tribes, even
thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave " the
earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw thee, and they
trembled: the overflowing of the water
passed by: the deep uttered his voice,
and lifted up his hands on high.
11 The sun* and moon stood still in
their habitation: o-at the light of thine
arrows they went, and at the shining of
thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst march through the land
in indignation, thou didst thresh the hea-
then in anger.
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation
of ^ thy people, even for salvation with
thine anointed; thou wo undedst the head''
out of the house of the wicked, by dis-
covering the foundation unto the neck.
Selah.
14 Thou didst strike through with his
staves the head of his villages ; they
X came out as a whirlwind to scatter me :
their rejoicing was as to devour the poor
secretly.
15 Thou didst walk through the sea
with thine horses, through the ^heap of
great waters.

my Hps quivered at the voice : rottenness

that worship atid that swear Pby the
LOED,** and that swear by Malcham;*
6 And them that are turned back/
from the LOED ; and those that have not
sought^ the LoED, nor inquired for him.
7 Hold* thy peace at the presence of
the Lord God ; ior» the day of the Loed
is at hand: for the Loed hath prepared
a sacrifice, he hath Vbid his guests.^
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of
the Loed's sacrifice, that I will S punish
the princes, and the king's children, and all
such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 In the same day also will I punish all
those that leap on the threshold, which fill
their masters' houses with violence and
deceit.
10 And it shall come to pass in that
day, saith the Loed, that there shall be the
noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an
howling from the second, and a great
crashing from the hills.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for
aU the merchant people are cut down;
all they that bear silver are cut ofi".
12 And it shall come to pass at that
time, that I wiU search Jerusalem with
candles, and punish the men that are
^ settled P on their lees; that say' in their
heart. The Loed wiU not do good, nei-
ther will he do evil.
13 Therefore their goods shall become
a booty, and their houses a desolation :
they shall also build houses, but not in-
habit them; and they shall plant vine-
yards, but not drink the wine thereof.
14 The great day of the Loed is near,*
it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the
voice of the day of the Loed: the
mighty* man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That" day is a day of wrath, a day
of trouble and distress, a day of waste-
nes3 and desolation, a day of darkness «>
and gloominess, a day of clouds and
thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet* and alarm
against the fenced cities, and against the
high towers.
17 And I wiU bring distress upon men,
that they shall walk like blind* men, be-
cause they have sinned against the Loed :
and their blood* shall be poured out as
dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither* their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them in the day
of the Loed's wrath ; but the whole land
shall be devoured'' by the fixe of his jea-
lousy : for he shall make even a speedy rid-
dance of all them that dwell in the land.

inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and
cottages for shepherds, and folds for nocks.
7 And the coast shall be for the* rem-
nant of the house of Judah; they shall
feed thereupon : in the houses of Ashke-
lon shall they lie down in the evening ;
Sfor the Loed their God shall visit "•
them, and turn away" their captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab,
and the revilings of the children of Am-
mon, whereby they have reproached my
people, and magnified themselves against
their border.
9 Therefore, as I live, saith the Loed
of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab"
shall be as Sodom, and the children of
Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding
of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual
desolation : the residue of my people shall
spoil them, and the remnant of my people
shall possess them.
10 This shall they have for their pride,
because they have reproached and mag-
nified themselves against the people of the
Loed of hosts.

13 And he will stretch out his hand
against the north, and destroy Assyria;*
and will make Nineveh a desolation, and
dry like a wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the
midst of her, all the beasts of the nations :
both the *« cormorant and the bittern shall
lodge in the ^ upper lintels of it: their
voice shall sing m the windows; desola-
tion shall be in the thresholds: /*for he

15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt

and there is none beside me: how is she
become a desolation, a place for beasts to
lie down in! every one that passeth by
her shall hiss, and wag his hand.

2 She obeyed not the voice ; she received
not JT correction ; she trusted not in the

3 Her princes within her are roaring
lions; her judges are evening wolves;
they gnaw not the bones tiU the morrow.
4 Her prophets* are Ught and treacherous
persons : her priests have polluted the sanc-
tuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 Thei' just Loed is in the midst thereof;
he will not do iniquity: o" every morning
doth he bring his judgment to Hght, he fail-
eth not ; but the unjust knoweth no shame.*
6 I have cut off the nations : their
■J" towers are desolate ; I made their streets
waste, that none passeth by: their cities
are destroyed, so that there is no man,
that there is none inhabitant.
7 I said, Surely^ thou wilt fear me, thou
wilt receive instruction: so their dwelling
should not be cut off, howsoever I punish-
ed them: but they rose early,' and cor-
rupted all their doings.

Jerusalem to battle; and the city* shall
be taken, and the houses rifled, and the
women ravished; and half of the city
shall go forth into captivity, and the re-
sidue of the people shall not be cut off

3 Then shall the Loed go forth, and
fight against those nations, as when he
fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day

8 And it shall be in that day, that hv-

half of them toward the P former sea, and
half of them toward the hinder sea: in

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up,

will smite the heathen that come not up
to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the 7 punishment of Egypt,

not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the

house shall be like the bowls before the
altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem, and in
Judah, shaU be holiness unto the Loed

come and take of them, and seethe there-

rr^ CHAPTER I.
JLHE burden of the word of the Loed
to Israel ^ by Malaehi.
2 I have loved <^ you, saith the Loed :
yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us ?
Was not Esau Jacob's brother ? saith the
Loed : yet I loved Jacob,/
3 And I hated Esau, and laid*' his
mountains and his heritage waste for
the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom saith. We are impover-
ished, but we will return and build the de-
solate places ; thus saith the Loed of hosts.
They shall build, but I will throw down :
and they shall call them. The border of
wickedness, and. The people against whom
the Loed hath indignation for ever.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye
shall say. The Loed wiU be magnified
from ^ the border of Israel.
6 A son honoureth Ms father, and a
servant his master : if* then Ibe a, father,
where is mine honour ? and if I &e a mas-
ter, where is my fear ? saith the Loed of
hosts unto you, O priests, that despise
my name. And ye say, Wherein* have
we despised thy name ?
7 Ye 'J offer polluted bread upon mine
altar ; and ye say, Wherein have we pol-
luted thee? In that ye say, The* table
of the Loed is contemptible.
8 And if ' ye offer the blind ^ for sacrifice,
is it not evil ? and if ye offer the lame and
sick, is it not evil ? offer it now unto thy go-
vernor : will he be pleased with thee, or ac-
cept thy person ? saith the Loed of hosts.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech "God
that he will be gracious unto us : this
hath been ^^by your means: will"* he
regard your persons? saith the Loed
of hosts.
10 Who is there even among you that ]
would shut the doors for nought !'> nei-
ther do ye kindle fire on mine altar for
nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith
the Loed of hosts, neither will I accept
an ofl'ering at 5^our hand.

name shall he great among the Gentiles ; <*
and in every* place incense'' shall he of-
fered unto my name, an4 a pure ofiering : *
for my name shall he great among the
heathen, saith the Loed of hosts.
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye
say. The table of the Loed is polluted ;
and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is
contemptible.
13 Ye said also. Behold, what a weari-
ness is it ! y and ye have snufied at it, saith
the Loed of hosts: and ye brought that
lohich teas torn, and the lame, and the sick ;
thus ye brought an ofiering : should I ac-
cept this of your hand ? saith the Loed.
14 But cursed he the deceiver, ^ which
hath in his flock a male, and voweth,
and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt
thing : for I am a great King, saith the
Loed of hosts, and my name is dreadful
among the heathen.
. CHAPTER IL .
j^lND now, O ye priests, this command-
ment is for you.
2 If J ye will not hear, and if ye will not
lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name,
saith the Loed of hosts, I will even send
a curse upon you, and I will cui'se your
blessings ; yea, I have cursed them al-
ready, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will "corrupt your seed,
and ^spread dung upon your faces, even
the dung of your solemn feasts, and A* one
shaU take you away with it.
4 And ye shall know that I have sent
this commandment unto you, that my
covenant might be with Levi, saith the
Loed of hosts.
5 My covenant" was with him of life
and i^eace; and I gave them to him for
the fear wherewith he feared me, and
was afraid before my name.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth,
and iniquity was not found in his lips : he
walked with me in peace and equity,^ and
did turn many away from iniquity.

knowledge, and they should seek the law
at his mouth: for he is the" messenger
of the LoBD of hosts.
8 But ye are departed out of the way;
ye*' have caused many to ^stumble at
the law; )'e have corrupted"* the cove-
nant of Levi, saith the Loud of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you con-
temptible and base before aU the people,
according as ye have not kept my ways,
but have 7 been partial in the law.
10 Have^ we not all one father ? hath not
one God created us ? why do we deal treach-
erously every man against his brother,
by profaning the covenant of our fathers ?
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and
an abomination is committed in Israel
and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath pro-
faned the holiness of the Lord which he
^ loved,' and hath married the daughter
of a strange god.
12 The Lord will cut off' the man that
doeth this, v the master and the scholar, out
of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that of-
fereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts.
13 And™ this have ye done again, covering
the altar of the Lord with tears, with weep-
ing, and with crying out, insomuch that
he regardeth not the offering any more, or
receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore ? Because the
Lord hath been witness between thee and
the wife of thy youth, against whom thou
hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy
companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one?" Yet had
he the f* residue of the spirit. And where-
fore one ? That he might seek a v godly
seed.P Therefore take heed to your spirit,
and let none deal P treacherously against
the wife of his youth.
16 For« the Lord, the God of Israel, saith
that <^he hateth ^ putting away : for one co-
vereth violence with his garment, saith the
Lord of hosts : therefore take heed to your
spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
17 Ye have wearied" the Lord with
yom* words : yet ye say, "Wherein have we
wearied him? When ye say, Every one
that doeth evil is good in the sight of the
Lord, and he delighteth in them; or.
Where is the God of judgment?
■rj CHAPTER III.
JtjEHOLD, ly will send my messenger,
and he shall prepare the way before me : and
the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly
come" to his temple, even the messenger
of the covenant, whom ye delight in: be-
hold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his
coming? and who*^ shall stand when he
appeareth? for he is like a refiner's* fire,
and like fullers' soap.
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and pu-
rifier of silver; and he shall purify the
sons of Levi, and purge them as gold
and silver, that they may offer* unto the
Lord an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and
Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in
the days of old, and as in X former years.
5 And I will come near to you to judg-
ment ; and I will be a swift witness against
the sorcerers, and against the adulterers,*
and against false swearers, and against
those that '/'oppress the hireling' in his
wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and
that turn aside the stranger from his
and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts,

25 Therefore I say unto you. Take no
thought* for your life, what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body,
what ye shaU put on. Is not the life more
than meat, and the body than raiment ?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow
not, neither do they reap, nor gather into
barns; yet your heavenly Father' feedeth
them. Are ye not much better than they ?
27 Which of you by taking thought can
add one cubit unto his stature ?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment ?
Consider the Hlies of the field, how they
grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin :
29 And yet I say tmto you, That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass
of the field, which to day is, and to morrow
is cast into the oven, sJiall he^ not much
more clothe you, O ye of little faith ?
31 Therefore take no thought,? saying,
WTiat shall we eat ? or, "What shall we drink ?
or. Wherewithal shall we be clothed ?
32 (For after aU these things do the
Grentiles seek:) for your heaveruy Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.
33 But seek ye first' the kingdom of
Grod, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added* unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the mor-
row: for the morrow shall take thought
for the things of itself.* Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof.

dXTDGE" not, that ye be not judged,
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye
shall be judged ; and with what measure ye

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that
is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not
the beam that is in thine own eye ,?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother,
Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye ;
and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye ?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the
beam' out of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
mote out of thy brother's eye,

8 For every one that asketh« receiveth ;
and he that seeketh* findeth; and to hmi
that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if
his son ask bread, will he give him a stone ?
10 Or if he ask a fish, avlU he give him
a serpent ?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your cliildTen,* how much
more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good tilings to them that ask him ?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye
would that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them : for*' tliis is the law and
the prophets.
13 Enter ye in' at the strait gate: for
wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat :
14 ^Because strait is the gate, and nar-
row is the way, which leadeth unto life;
and few' there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets,*" which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening" wolves,
16 Ye shall know them by their" fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
of thistles ?
17 Even so every good tree*" bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit.
19 Every "tree that bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by theu' fruits ye shall
know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord," shall enter into the king-
dom of heaven ; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day.
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied* in
thy name? and in thy name have cast
out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works ?
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me,* ye
that work iniquity.
24 Therefore* whosoever heareth these
sayings of mme, and doeth them, I wiU
hken him unto a wise" man, which built
his house upon a rock :
25 And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house ; and it feU not :
for it was founded upon a rock.*
26 And every one that heareth these
sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foohsh/ man,
which built his house upon the sand :
27 And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew,^ and
beat upon that house; and it fell: and
groat was' the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus
had ended these saymgs, the people
were astonished* at his doctrine :
29 For he taught them as one having
authority, and not as the scribes.

18 WhUe'' he spake these things unto
them, behold, there came a certain rider,
and worshipped liim, saying. My daugh-
ter is even now dead: but come and lay
thy hand upon her, and she shall live.«
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him,
and so did. his disciples.
20 And,'* behold, a woman, which was
diseased with an issue of blood twelve
years, came_ behind him, and touched
the hem of his garment :
21 Eor she said within herself. If I may
but touch his garment,* I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned liim about ; and
when he saw her, he said. Daughter, be
of good comfort; thy^' faith hath made
thee whole. And. the woman was made
whole from that hour.*
28 And' when Jesus came into the
ruler's house, and saw the"* minstrels
and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Grive place; for
the maid is not dead," but sleepeth.
And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people Avere put forth,?
he went in, and took her by the hand, and
the maid arose.
26 And vthe fame hereof went abroad
into aU that land.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two
blind men followed him, crying, and say-
ing. Thou son of David,* nave mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house,
the blind men came to him : and Jesus saith
unto them, Believe ye that I am able to
do tliis ? They said unto him. Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying,
According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened: and
Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See
that no man know" it.
31 But they, when they were departed,
spread abroad nis fame in aU. that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they
brought to him a dumb man 2' possessed
with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the
dimib spake:* and the multitudes marvel-
led, sajdng. It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He« casteth
out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And* Jesus went about all the cities
and villages, teaching in their synagogues,
and preachiug the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing every sickness and every dis-
ease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he
was moved with compassion on them, be-
cause they 5 fainted, _ and were scattered
abroad, as sheep/ having no shepherd.

The harvests' truly is plenteous, but the
labourers are few ;

ers into his harvest.

twelve disciples, he" gave them power
P against unclean spirits, to cast them out,
and to heal all manner of sickness and
aU manner of disease.
2 Now the names" of the twelve apostles
are these : The first, _ Simon, who is called
Peter, and Andrew liis brother ; James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother ;
3 Phihp, and Bartholomew; Thomas,
and Matthew the pubhcan ; James the son
of Alphseus, and Lebbseus, whose surname
was Thaddseus ;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Is-
cariot. who also betrayed him.
5 Tliese twelve Jesus sent forth, and
commanded them, sajdng, Gro not into
the way of the G-entiles, and into any
city of the Samaritans/ enter ye not :
6 But gos' rather to the lost sheep* of
the house of Israel.
I And, as j^e go, preach, sajang,.? The
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise
the dead, cast out devils : freely' ye have
received, freely give.
9 ^Provide* neither gold, nor silver,
nor brass, in your purses ;
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither
two coats, neither shoes, nor yet ^staves;
for^ the workman is worthy of his meat.
II And into whatsoever city or to\vn ye
shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy;
and there abide tiU ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house,
salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your
peace come upon it : but if it be not wor-
thy, let your peace return* to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive
you, nor hear your words, when ye de-
part out of that house or city, shake" off
the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It"* shall be
more tolerable for the land of Sodom and
Gromorrha in the day of judgment, than
for that city.
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in
the midst of wolves : be ye therefore wise^
as serpents, and ^ harmless' as doves.
17 But beware'* of men: for they* will
dehver you up to the councils, and they
will scourge" you m their synagogues ;
18 And yC^ shall be brought before go-
vernors and kings for my sake, for a tes-
timony agaiast them and the Gentiles.
19 But" when they deliver you up, take
no thought how or what ye sliaU speak;
for it shall be given you in that same
hour what ye shall speak".
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spi-
rit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the
brother to death, and the father the child :
and the children shall rise up against their
parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for
my name's sake; but hes' that endureth
to the end shaU be saved.
2'i But when they persecute you in this
city, flee* ye into another : for verily I say
unto you. Ye shall not ^ have gone over the
cities of Israel, tiU the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple* is not above his mas-
ter, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he
be as his master, and the servant as liis
lord. If they^ have called the master of
the house "Beelzebub, how much more
shall they call them of his household ?

26 Fear them not therefore : for* there is
nothing covered, tliat shall not be reveal-
ed ; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I teU you in darkness, that
speak ye in hght : and what ye hear m the
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear*^ not them which kill the
body, but are not able to kill the soul;
but rather fear him which is able to de-
stroy both soul and body ia heU.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a 7 far-
thing ? and one of them shaU not fall on
the ground without your Father.
30 But" the very hairs of yoiu* head are

31 Fear ye not therefore; j'e are of
more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess
me before men, him» will I confess also
before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever* shall deny me be-
fore men, him wiU I also deny before my
Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send
peace on earth: I»» came not to send
peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at vari-
ance" against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter m
law against her mother in law.
36 And'^ a man's foes shall he they of
his own household.
37 He*" that loveth father or mother
more than me, is not Avorthy of me : and
he that loveth son or daughter more than
me, is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not liis cross, and
foUoweth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He' that findeth his life, shall lose
it : and he that loseth his life for my sake,
shaU find it,
40 He" that receiveth you, receiveth
me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth
him that sent me.
41 He* that receiveth a prophet in the
name of a prophet, shall receive a pro-
phet's reward; and he that receiveth a
righteous man in the name of a righteous
man, shall receive a righteous man's
reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink
unto one of these httle ones a cup of cold
ivater only in the name of a disciple, verily
I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose
liis reward.
. CHAPTER XI.
AJND it came to pass, when Jesus had
made an end of commanding his twelve
disciples, he departed thence, to teach
and to preach in their cities.
2 Now/ when John had heard in the
prison the works of Christ, he sent two
of his disciples,
3 And said imto him. Art thou he that
should come, or do wc look for another ?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them.
Go and shew Jolm again those things
which ye do hear and see :
5 The blind receive their sight, and the
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the
deaf hear, the dead are raised up. and the
poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he^ whosoever shall
not be offended* in me.
7 And, as they departed, Jesus began to
say unto the multitudes concerning John,
WTiat went™ ye out into the wilderness
to see ? A reed shaken with the wind ? "
8 But what went ye out for to see ? A man
Chris fs testimony of John.

clothed in soft raiment ? behold, they that
wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A
prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more
than a prophet.
10 For this is he of whom it is * written, Be-
hold, I send my messenger before thy face,
which shaU prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among '^ them
that are born of women there hath not
risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding, he/ that is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist
untn now the kingdom of heaven ^ suifer-
eth violence, and the violent take^" it by
force.
13 For all the prophets and the law
prophesied until John.
14 And if ye wiU receive it^ this is
Ehas, which'" was for to come.
15 He » that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 ButP whereunto shall I Hken this ge-
neration? It is like imto cliildren sitting in
the markets, and caUing unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you,
and ye have not danced ; we have mourn-
ed unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor
drinking, and they say, He* hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating* and
drinking, and they say. Behold a man
gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend
of pubHcans" and sinners. But wisdom'"
is justified of her children.
20 Then* began he to upbraid the cities
wherein most of his mighty works were
done, because they repented not :
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto
thee, Bethsaida ! y for if the mighty works
which were done in you had been done
in Tyre and Sidon, they would have re-
pented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It* shaU be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of
judgment, than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art"
exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought
down to heU: for if the mighty works
which have been done in thee had been
done in Sodom, it would have remained
imtil this day.
24 But I say unto you, That* it shall
be more tolerable for the land of Sodom
in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At"^ that time Jesus answered and
said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, because thou hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.*
26 Even so. Father: for so it seemed
good in thy sight.
27 AH things/ are delivered unto me of
my Father : and no man knoweth the Son,
but the Father; neither knoweth* any
man the Father, save the Son, and he to
whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, aU ye that labour* and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn*
of me; for I am meek and lowly' in heart :
and ye"* shall find rest imto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy," and my bur-
den is hght.

2 But when tlie Pharisees saw it^ they
said unto him. Behold, thy disciples do
that which is not lawful to do" upon the
sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them. Have ye not
read what David did'' when he was an
hungred, and they that were vfii\ hini ;
4 How he entered into the house of
Grod, and did eat the showbread,« which
was not lawful for him to eat, neither for
them which were with him, but onlys' for
the priests ?
5 Or have ye not read in the law,'' hoAV
that on the sabbath days the priests in
the temple' profane the sabbath, and are
blameless ?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place
is one greater' than the temple.
7 But if ye had knoAvn what this meaneth,
I" will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye
would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of
the sabbath day.
9 And' when he v.-as departed thence,
he went into their sjniagogue :
10 And, behold, there was a man which
had his hand withered. And they asked
him, saying, Is*" it lawful to heal on the
sabbath days ? that they might accuse him.
11 And he said unto them, Wliat man
shall there be among you that shall have
one sheep, and" if it fall into a pit on the
sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it,
and lift it out ?
12 How much then is a man better than
a sheep? Wlierefore it is lawful to do
well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith he to the man. Stretch forth
thine hand. And he stretched, it forth ; and
it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and
Vheld a council against him, how they
might destroy him.
15 But when Jesus knew it^ he withdrew
himself from thence: and great midtitudes
followed him, and he healed them all ;
16 And charged them that they shoidd
not make him known :
17 That it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the prophet,* sajin^,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have
chosen ; my beloved, in whom my soul
is well pleased : I will put my spirit upon
liim, and he shall shew judgment to the
Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither
shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break,
and smoking flax shall he not quench, till
he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the G-entiles
trust.
22 Theni' was brought unto him one
possessed with a devil, bKnd and dumb :
and he healed him, insomuch that the
bhnd and dumb both spake and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed,
and said. Is not this the son of David ?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it. they
said, This felloio doth not cast out devils,
but by ^ Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts," and
said imto them, Every kingdom divided
against itself is brought to desolation ;
and every city or house divided against
itself shall not stand :
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is
divided against himself; how shall then
his kingdom stand. ?
The Pharisees demand a sign. MATTHEW, XIII.
The intention of 2)arahles.
27 And if I by Beelzebub" east out de-
vils, by whom do your children cast tJiem
out ? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit
of God, then the kingdom'' of God is
come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a
strong man's house, and spoil* his goods,
except he first bind the strong man? and
then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not vdih me, is against
me :f and he that gathereth not with me,
scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, AH*
manner of sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy
against the Holi/ Ghost* shall not be for-
given unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word
against the Son of man,* it shall be
forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh
against the Holj^ Ghost, it shall not be
forgiven him, neither in this world, nei-
ther in the tvorld to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his
fruit good ; or else make the tree corrupt,
and ms fruit corrupt: for** the tree is
known by his fruit.
34 O generation" of vipers ! how can
ye, being evil, speak good things? for
out^ of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure
of the heart bringeth forth good things ;
and an evil man, out of the evil treasure,
bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you. That every idle
word that men shall speak, they shall give
account 9 thereof in the day of judgment :
37 For by thy words'" thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of
the Pharisees answered, sajdng. Master,
we would see a sign* from thee.
39 But he answered and said imto them,
An evil and adidterous* generation
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given to it, but the sign of the
prophet Jonas :
40 For* as Jonas was three days and
three nights in the whale's beUy ; so shall
the Son of man be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh _ shall rise in
judgment with tliis generation, and shall
condemn^ it; because they repented at^
the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a
greater than Jonas is here.
42 The*' c[ueen of the south shall rise
up in the judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn it: for she^ came
from the uttermost parts of the earth to
hear the wisdom of Solomon ; and, be-
hold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43 When/ the unclean spirit is gone out
of a man, he^ walketh through dry places,
seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I wiU return into my
house from whence I came out ; and
when he is come, he findeth it empty,
swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and take th with him-
self seven other spirits more wicked than
liimself, and they enter in and dwell
there : and the last state of that man is
worse' than the first. Even so shall it be
also imto this wicked generation.
46 While he yet talked to the people, be-

rp CHAPTER XIII.
XHE same day went Jesus out of the
house, and sat by the sea side.
2 And great multitudes were gathered
together unto him, so that he went into
a ship,' and sat; and the whole multi-
tude stood on the shore.
3 And he spake many things unto them
in parables, saying, Behold,'" a sower
went forth to sow :
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell
by the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up.
5 Some fell upon stony places, where
they had not much earth ; and forth^vith
they sprung up, because they had no
deepness of earth :
6 And when the sun was up, they were
scorched; and because they had no root,
they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and
the thorns sprung up, and choked them.
8 But other fell into good ground, and
brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold,
some sixtyfold. some thii'tyfold.
9 Who » hatn ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came, and said
unto him, Why speakest thou unto them
in parables ?
11 He answered and said unto them^
Because it is given unto you to" know
the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,
but to them it is not given.
12 For"" whosoever hath, to him shall
be given, and he shall have more abun-
dance : but whosoever hath not, from him
shall be taken away, even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in para-
bles : because they seeing, see not ; and
hearing, they hear not, neither do they
understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy
of Esaias," which saith, By* hearing ye
shall hear, and shall not understand ; and
seeing ye shaU see, and shall not perceive :
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross,
and their ears are dvdl'' of hearing, and
their eyes they have closed; lest at any
time they should see with tJieir eyes, and
hear with their ears, and should under-
stand with their heart, and should be
converted^ and I shoidd heal them.
16 But* blessed are your eyes, for they
see : and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you. That' many
prophets and righteous men have desired
to see those things which ye see, and have
not seen them; and to hear those things
which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear* ye therefore the parable of
tj]?G sower.
19 When any one heareth the word*" of
the kingdom, and understandeth it not,
then cometh the wicked" one, and catcli-
eth away that which was sovsti in his
a verse 30.

heart. This is he which received seed by ^.Z>. 31.
the way side.
20 But he that received the seed into
stony places, the same is he that heareth
the word, and anon with joy'' receiveth it :
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but
dm'etli for a while ; for when tribulation
or persecution ariseth because of the
word, by and by he is offended. '^
22 He also that received seed among
the thorns, is he that heareth the word;
and the care^ of this world, and the de-
ceitfulness of riches' choke the word, and
he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the
good ground, is he that heareth the word,
and understandeth it; which also beareth
fruit,' and bringeth forth, some an hun-
dredfold, some sixtj^ some thirty.
24 Another" parable put he forth xmto
them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
Likened unto a man which sowed good^
seed in his field :
25 But while men slept, his enemy
came and sowed tares among the wheat,
and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up,
and brought forth fruit, then appeared the
tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder
came and said unto him. Sir, didst not
thou sow good seed in thy field? from
whence then hath it tares ?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath
done this. The servants said unto him.
Wilt thou then that we go and gather
them up ?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also the
wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the har-
vest : and in the time of harvest" I will say
to the reapers, G-ather ye together first the
tares, and bind them in bundles to* burn
them : but gather the wheats into my barn.
31 Another parable put he forth unto
them, saying. The kingdom of heaven is
like to a* grain of mustard seed, which a
man took, and sowed in his field :
32 Which indeed is the least of aU
seeds ; but when it is grown, it is the
greatest among herbs, and becometh a
tree,* so that the birds of the air come
and lodge in the branches thereof
33 Another parable spake he unto them :
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven,
which a woman took, and hid in three
y measures of meal, till the whole was
leavened.
34 All these things spake Jesus unto
the mtdtitude in parables;'' and without
a parable spake he not unto them ;
35 That it might be fulfilled^ which was
spoken by the prophet, « saying, I wiU
open my mouth in parables ; I wiU utter
things wliich have been kept/ secret from
the foundation of the world.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away,
and went into the house : and his disciples
came unto him, saying. Declare unto us
the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Heansweredandsaid unto them, He that
soweth the good seed is the Son of man :
33 The field is the world :^ the good seed
are the children of the kingdom ;* but the
tares are the children of the wicked' one:
39 The enemy that sowed them is the

X I Y. He is desjnsed in Ms oion country,
40 As therefore the tares are gathered
and burned in the fire ; " so shall it be in
the end of tliis world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his
angels, and they shall gather out of his
kingdom aU /^ tilings that offend, and''
them which do iniquity ;
42 And'' shall cast them into a furnace
fire: there/ shall be wailing and
asliing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous sliine^ forth
as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
\ATio hath ears to hear, let him hear. _
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like
unto treasure''^ liid in a field; the wliich
when a man hath found, he hideth, and
for joy thereof goeth and seUetli'" all
that he hath, and buyeth" that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like un-
to a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls ;
46 Who, when he had found one^ pearl
of great price, went and sold aU that he
had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and
gathered*" of every kind :
48 Which, when it was full, they drew
to shore, and sat down, and gathered the
good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world :
the angels shall come forth, and* sever
the wicked from among the just ;
50 And* shall cast them into the fur-
nace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus saith unto them. Have jq
understood aU these things? They say
unto him. Yea, Lord.
52 Then said he unto them. Therefore
every scribe tohich is instructed unto the
kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that
is an householder, which briugeth forth
out"* of his treasure things new and old.*
53 And it came to pass, that when
Jesus had finished these parables, he
departed thence.
54 And" when he was come into his own
country, he taught them iii their synagogue,
insomuch that they were astonished, and
said. Whence hath this man this wisdom,
and these mighty works ?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son ? is not
his mother called Mary ? and liis brethren,
James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas ?
56 And liis sisters, are they not all
with us ? Whence then hath tliis man all
these things?
57 And they were offended" in him.
But Jesus said imto them, A prophet is
not without honour, save in his own
country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works
there, because of their unbelief
. CHAPTER XIY.
_A.T that time^ Herod the tetrarch heard
of the fame of Jesus ;
2 And said unto his servants. This is
John the Baptist: he is risen from the
dead ; and therefore mighty works ^ do
shew forth themselves in him.
3 For Herod had laid hold on Jolui, and
bound him, and put him in prison for He-
rodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4 For John said unto him, It* is not
lawftJ for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put him to
death, he feared the multitude, because
they counted liim as a" prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept,
Martyrdom of John iJie Baptist. MATTHEW, XV.

the daughter of Herodias danced ^be-
fore them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath
to give lier whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of
her mother, said, Grive me here John
Baptist's '^ head in a charger.
9 And the king was sorry:* neverthe-
less, for the oath's/ sake, and them which
sat with him at meat, he commanded it
to be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded John
in the prison.
11 And his head was brought in a
charger, and given to the damsel: and
she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came and took up the
body, and buried' it, and went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard of it, he 'departed
thence by ship into a desert place apart :
and when the people had heard thereof they
followed him on foot out of the cities.
14 And Jesus went forth, and"» saw a great
multitude, and was moved with compas-
sion <> toward them, and he healed their sick.
15 And when it was evening, his disci-
ples came to him, saying. This is a desert
place, and the time is now past; send the
multitude away, that they may go into
the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 But Jesus said unto them. They
need not depart ; give ye them to eat.
17 And they say unto him. We have
here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
19 And he commanded the multitude
to sit down on the grass; and took the
five loaves and the two fishes, and, look-
ing up to heaven, he blessed, and brake;
and gave the loaves to his disciples, and
the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were fill-
ed: and they took up of the fragments
that remained twelve baskets full."
21 And they that had eaten were about
five thousand men, beside women and
children.
22 ^.nd straightway Jesus constrained
his disciples to get into a ship, and to go
before him unto the other side, while he
sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multi-
tudes away, he* went up into a moun-
tain apart to pray: and when the even-
ing was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst
of the sea, tossed with waves : for the
wind was contrary.
25 And in the ibui-th watch of the night
Jesus went xmto them, walking on the sea.
26 And* when the disciples saw him walk-
ing on the sea, they were troubled,** saying.
It is a spirit ; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto
them, saying, Be'' of good cheer; it is
I ; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said,
Lord, if it* be thou, bid me come imto
thee on the water.
29 And he said. Come. And when
Peter was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind V boister-
ous, he was afraid; and beginning to
sink, he cried, saying. Lord, save me ! o
31 And immediately* Jesus stretched
forth his hand, and caught him, and said
unto him, O thou of little faith, where-
fore didst thou doubt ?*

rn CHAPTER XXV.
X HEN shall the kingdom of heaven be
likened unto ten virgins," which took their
lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-
groom.*^
2 And five** of them were wise, and
five were foolish.
3 They that ^oere foolish took their
lamps, and took no oE/ with them :
4 But the wise took o'A'J in theii* vessels
with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they
aU slumbered* and slept.
6 And at midnight' there was a cry"»
made. Behold, the bridegroom cometh;
go ye out" to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and
trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foohsh said unto the Avise,
Give us of your oil; for our lamps are
Vgone ouf
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not
SO; lest there be not enough for us and
you : but go ye rather" to them that sell,
and buy for yourselves.
10 And while" they went to buy, the
bridegroom came; and they that were
ready went in with him to the marriage:
and the door was shut. '"
11 Afterward came also the other vir-
gins, saying, y Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I
say unto you, I" know you not.
13 Watch* therefore, for ye know nei-
ther the day nor the hour wherein the
Son of man cometh.
14 For*' the kingdom of heaven is as a
man travelling into a tax country, who
called his own servants, and dehvered
unto them his goods.
15 And Tinto one he gave five ^talents.
to another two, and to another one; to
every man according to his several abi-
lity ;/ and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five
talents went and traded with the same,
and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received
two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one, went
and digged in the earth, and hid his
lord's money.
19 After a long time,* the lord of those ser-
vants cometh, and reckoneth' with them.
20 And so he that had received five ta-
lents, came and brought other five talents,
saying. Lord, thou deUveredst unto me
five talents; behold, I have gained be-
side them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done,
thou good and faithfid servant : thou hast
been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler* over many things : enter
thou into the jov of thy lord.
22 He also that had received two ta-
lents, came, and said, Lord, thou dehver-
edst unto me two talents : behold, I have
gained two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said unto him, Well done,
good and faithful servant : thou hast been
faithftd over a few tilings, I wiU make
thee ruler over many things: enter thou
into the joy of thy lord,
24 Then he which had received the one
talent, came, and said, Lord, I knew thee
that thou art an hard man," reaping
where thou hast not sown,? and gathering
where thou hast not strawed :
25 And I was afraid, »• and went, and hid
19
A.D. 33.
P'/ocess of the last Judgment. MATTHEW, XXVI. The Lord's Supj^er instituted.
thy talent in tlie earth : lo, there thou hast
that is thine. , . ■, , , .
26 His lord answered and said unto him,
Thou wicked" and slothful servant, thou
knewest that I reap where I sowed not,
and gather where I have not strawed :
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put
my money to the exchangers, and then aX
my coming I should have received mine
own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and
give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto** every one that hath shall
be given, and he shall have abundance:
but from him that hath not shall be taken
away* even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant
into outer darkness :/ there shall be weep-
ing and gnashing of teeth.
31 Whenfl' the Son of man shall come
in his glory, and all the holy angels with
him, then shall he sit upon the throne of
his glory :
32 And before* him shall be gathered
all nations; and he shall separate' them
one from another, as a shepherd"* divideth
his sheep from the goats :
33 And he shall set the sheep on his
right hand," but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on
his right hand, Come, ye blessed" of my
rather,P inherit the kingdom' prepared''
for you from the foundation of the world :
35 For 1* was an himgred, and ye gave
me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me
drink : I was a stranger," and ye took me in :
36 Naked,'" and ye clothed me: I was
sick, and ye visited* me: I was in pri-
son, y and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer
him, saying. Lord, when saw we thee an
hungred, and fed theel or thirsty, and
^ave thee drink ?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and
took thee in ? or naked, and clothed thee ?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in pri-
son, and came unto thee ?
40 And the King shall answer and say un-
to them, VerQy I say unto you, Inasmuch «
as ye have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on
the left hand. Depart* from me, ye cursed,
into everlasting*' fire, prepared** for the
devil and his angels :
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave
me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave
me no drink :
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not
in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick,
and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, say-
ing. Lord, when saw we thee an hungred,
or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or
in prison, and did not minister imto thee ?
45 Then shall he answer them, sajnuag,
VerQy I say unto ^ou, Inasmuch^' as ye
did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me.
46 And these* shall go away into ever-
lasting punishment : but the righteous into
Ufe eternal
* CHAPTER XXVI.
A^ND it came to pass, when Jesus had
finished all these sayings, he said unto
his disciples,
2 Ye know* that after two days is the
feast of the passover, and the Son of man
is betrayed to be crucified.

3 Then assembled together the chief
priests, and the scribes, and the elders of
the people, unto the palace of the high
priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 And consulted* that they might take
Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day,
lest there be an iiproar among the people.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in
the house of Simon the leper,
7 There came*^ unto him a woman hav-
ing an alabaster box of very precious
ointment, and poured it on his head, as
he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they
had indignation, saying. To what pur-
pose is this waste ?
9 For this ointment might have been
sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 AVhen Jesus understood it, he said un-
to them. Why trouble ye the woman ? for
she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye* have the poor always with
you ; but me* ye have not always.
12 For in that she hath poured this oint-
ment on my body, she did it for my burial
13 Verily I say unto you. Wheresoever
this gospel shall be preached in the whole
worli there shall also this, that this woman
hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Then one* of the twelve, called Ju-
das Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 And said unto them. What will ye
give me, and I will deliver him unto
you ? And they covenanted^ with him
lor thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought op-
portunity to betray him.
17 Now* the first da?/ of the feast of un-
leavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus,
saying imto him. Where wilt thou that we
prepare for thee to eat the passover ?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such
a man, and say unto him, The Master
saith. My time is at hand ; I will keep the
passover at thy house vdth my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had
appointed them; and they made ready
the passover.
20 Now when the even was come, he
sat down vnth. the twelve.
21 And as they did eat, he said. Verily
I say unto you, that one of you shall be-
tray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrow-
ful, and began every one of them to say
unto him. Lord, is it I ?
23 And he answered and said. He* that
dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the
same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written/
of him : but woe imto that man by whom
the Son of man is betrayed! it had been
good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him,
answered and said. Master, is it I? He
said imto him. Thou hast said.
26 And as' they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and ^blessed it, and brake it, and
gave it to the disciples, and said. Take,
eat ; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye aU of it :
28 For this is my blood of the new tes-
tament,' which is shed for many for the
remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink
henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until
The Agony in the Gat-den.
MATTHEW, XXVII.
Christ denied hy Peter.
that day when I drink it new \\ith you in
my Father's kingdom. ''
30 And when they had sung an ^ h}Tnn,
they went out into the Mount of OHves.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye
shaU be offended because of me this
night: for it is written,'' I will smite the
shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall
be scattered abroad.
32 But after I am risen again,* I wiU
go before you into Galilee.
33 Peter answered and said unto him.
Though all onen shaU be offended because
of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34 Jesus said xinto him. Verily I say
unto thee. That this night, before the cock
crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Peter said unto him. Though I
should die with thee, yet will I not deny
thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36 Then* eometh Jesus with them imto
a place called Grethsemane, and saith
unto the disciples. Sit ye here, while I
go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the
two sons of Zebedee, and began to be
sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them. My' soul
is exceeding sorrowful, even imto death:
tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and
feU on his face, and"* prayed, sajing,
O my Father, if it be possible, let this
cup» pass from me! nevertheless,^ not
as I will, but as thou toilt.
40 And he eometh imto the disciples,
and findeth them asleep, and saith unto
Peter, What! could ye not watch with
me one hour ?
41 Watch,* and praj% that ye" enter
not into temptation ; "' the spirit * iadeed
is Willi Tig, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away _ again the second
time, and prayed, saying, O my Father,
if this cup may not pass away from me,
except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep
again : for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away
again, and prayed the third « time, saying
the same words.
45 Then eometh he to his disciples, and
saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take
yon/i' rest ; behold, the hour is at hand,
and the Son of man is betrayed into the
hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is
at hand that doth betray me.
47 And while he yet spake, lo,*' Judas,
one of the twelve, came, and with him a great
multitude, with swords and staves, from
the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them
a sign,** saying. Whomsoever I shall kiss,
that same is he : hold him fast.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and
said. Hail, Master ; and kissed * him.
50 And Jesus said unto him,/ Friend,
wherefore art thou come ? Then came they
and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 And, behold, one of them which were
with Jesus stretched out his hand, and
drew his sword, and struck a servant of
the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52 Then said Jesus tmto him, Put up
again thy sword into his place : for * all
they that take the sword, shall perish
with the sword.

to my Father, and he shall presently give
me more than twelve legions of* angels ?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be
fulfilled, that^ thus it must be?
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the
multitudes, Are ye come out, as against
a thief, with sAvords and staves for to take
me ? 1 sat daily with you teaching in the
temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56 But aU this was done, that the scrip-
hires/ of tlie prophets might be fulfilled.
Then aU the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57 And i/ they that had laid hold on
Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high
priest, where the scribes and the elders
were assembled.
58 But Peter followed him afar off, imto
the high priest's palace, and went in, and
sat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders,
and aU the council, sought false witness
against Jesus, to put lum to death ;
60 But found none : yea, though many
false witnesses came, yet found they none.
At the' last came two false witnesses,
61 And said. This felloiv said,* I am
able to destroy the temple of G-od, and to
build it in three days.
62 And the high priest arose, and said
unto him, Answerest thou nothing ? What
is it which these witness against thee ?
63 But" Jesus held his peace. And the
high priest answered and said unto him,
I adjure 9 thee by the living God, that
thou tell us whether thou be the Christ,'"
the Son of God.
64 Jesus saith unto him. Thou hast said :
nevertheless I say unto you. Hereafter*
shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand'' of power, and coming in the
clouds of heaven.
65 Then the liigh priest rent his clothes,
saying. He hath spoken blasphemy ; what
further need have we of Avitnesses? be-
hold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66 What think ye ? They answered and
said. He is guilty of death, v
67 Thenf did they spit in his face, and
buffeted him : and others smote him with
y the palms of their hands,
68 Sajdng, Prophesy unto us, thou
Christ, Who is he that smote thee ?
69 Now* Peter sat without in the pa-
lace : and a damsel came imto him, saying.
Thou also wast vdih. Jesus of Galilee,
70 But he denied before them all, say-
ing, I know not what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the
porch, another maid saw him, and said
unto them that were there, This fellow
was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied vrith an oath,
I do not know the man.
73 And after a while came mito him
they that stood by, and said to Peter,
Surely thou also art one of them ; for thy
speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear,
saying., I know not tlie man. And imme-
diately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the*' word
of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the
cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.

to death.

JRepentance and death of Judas. MATTHEW, XXYII.
The Cnicijixion.
2 And when they had bound him, they
led him away, and delivered him* to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him,
when he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the
thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests
and elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned, in that I have
betrayed the innocent blood.« And they
said. What is that to us ? see thou to that.
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver
Jh the temple, and departed, and went
and hanged/ himself.
6 And the chief priests took the silver
pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to
put them into the treasury, because it is
the price of blood.
7 And they took counsel, and bought
with them the potter's field, to bury
strangers in.
8 A\Tierefore that field was called, The
field of blood, unto this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was
spoken* by Jeremy the prophet, saying.
And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him that was valued, y whom
they of the children of Israel did value ;
10 And gave them for the potter's field,
as the Lord appointed me.
11 And Jesus stood before the governor :
and the governor asked him, saying. Art
thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus
said unto him. Thou sayest.
12 And when he was accused of the chief
priests and elders, he answered »» nothing.
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest
thou not how many things they witness
against thee ?
14 And he answered him to never a
word; insomuch that the governor mar-
velled greatly.
15 Now^ at that feast the governor
was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable pri-
soner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore, when they were gathered
together, Pilate said unto them, AAHiom
■will ye that I release unto you? Barab-
bas, or Jesus which is called Christ ?
18 For he knew that for envj''" they
had delivered him.
19 When he was set down on the judg-
ment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying.
Have thou nothing to do with that" just
man ; for I have sufiered many things
this day in a dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders per-
suaded the multitude that they should
ask*" Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto
them. Whether of the twain will ye that I
release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them. What shall I
do then with Jesus, which is called Christ ?
They all say unto him. Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said. Why, what
evil hath he done ? But they cried out the
more, saying, Let* him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail
notliing, but that rather a tumidt was made,
he took water, and washed his'^ hands before
the multitude,^ saying, I am innocent of
the blood of this just person : see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and
said. His'* blood he on us, and on our
children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto

them: and when he had scourged" Jesus,
he delivered him to be crucified.
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took
Jesus into the ^ common haU, and gather-
ed unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him, and put on
him a scarlet robe.
29 And when they had platted a crown
of thorns, they put it upon his head, and
a reed in his right hand : and they bowed
the knee before him, and mocked'* him,
saying, HaiL King of the Jews !
30 And they spit* upon him, and took
the reed, and smote him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked him,
they took the robe ofi^ from him, and put
his own raiment on him, and leds' him
away to crucify him.
32 And as thej^ came out, they found a
man of Cyrene, Sinion by name : him they
compeUed to bear his cross.
33 And when they were come unto a
place called Golgotha, that is to say, a
place of a skuU,
34 They gave him vinegar to drink,
mingled* with gall: and when he had
tasted thereof, he woidd not drink.
35 And* they crucified him, and parted
his garments, casting lots ; that it might be
fulmled which was spoken^ by the prophet,
They parted my garments among them,
and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down, they watched
him there;
37 And set up over his head, his accu-
sation written^ THIS IS JESUS THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves" cru-
cified with him: one on the right hand,
and another on tne left.
39 And they that passed by reviled
him, wagging " their heads,
40 And saying. Thou that destroyest
the temple, and buildest it in three days,
save thyself. If thou be the Son of Grod,
come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mock-
ing? him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others, himself he cannot
save. If he be the King of Israel, let him ■
now come down from the cross, and we
wiU believe him.
43 He trusted in Grod ; let* him dehver
him now, if he will have him : for he
said,' I am the Son of Grod.
44 The thieves also, which were cruci-
fied with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was
darkness *> over all the land imto the
ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth horn* Jesus cried
with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani? that is to say,* My G-od,
my Grod, why hast thou forsaken me ?
47 Some of them that stood there, when
they heard that, said, This man caUeth
for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and
l,ook a sponge, and filled it with^ vinegar,
and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said. Let be, let us see
whether Elias wiU come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with
a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil * of the temple
was rent" in twain, fi'om the top to the
bottom ; and the earth did quake, and
the rocks rent ;
52 And* the graves were opened; and
The Besurreetion.
MATTHEW XXYIII.
The Apostolic commission.
many bodies of tlie saints wliich" slept,
arose,
53 And came out of the graves « after
his resurrection, and went into the holy
city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now" when the centurion, and they
that were with him, watching Jesus, saw
the earthquake, and those things that
were done, they feared greatly, saying.
Truly this was the Son of God.
55 And many women were there, be-
holding afar off, which* followed tfesus
from Galilee, ministering unto him :
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and Joses,
and the mother of Zebedee's children.
57 When' the even was come, there
came a rich man of Arimathsea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus'
disciple :
58 He went to Pilate, and begged the
body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken the body,
he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 And" laid it in his own new tomb,
which he had hewn out in the rock : and
he roUed a great stone to the door of
the sepulchre, and departed.
61 And there was Mary Magdalene,
and the other Mary, sitting over against
the sepulchre.
62 In ow the next day, that followed the
day of the preparation, the chief priests
and Pharisees came together unto PUate,
63 Sasdng, Sir, we remember that that
deceiver' said, while he was yet aHve,
After"" three days I wiU rise again.
64 Command therefore that the sepul-
chre be made sure untU the third day,
lest his disciples come by night, and« steal
him away, and say unto the people, He
is risen from the dead: so the last error
shall be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have
a watch: go your way, make it as sure
as ye can.
66 So they went, and made the sepul-
chre sure, sealing" the stone, and setting
a watch.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
J-N* the end of the sabbath, as it began
to dawn toward the first day of the week,
came Mary Magdalene,*" and the other
Mary, to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there y was a great

descended from heaven, and came and
roUed back the stone from the door,
and sat upon it.

3 His* countenance was hke lightning,
and his raiment white as snow :
4 And for fear of him the keepers did
shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered^ and said
unto the women, Fear not ye : for/ I
know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified.
6 He is not here; for he is risen, as
he said.i' Come, see the place where
the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disci-
ples that he is risen' from the dead;
and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilee; there *= shall ye see him: lo,
I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the
sepulchre, with fear and great joy, and
did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to teU his disci-
ples, behold, Jesus met them, saying,
AU hail.'" And they came and held
him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them. Be not
afraid: go tell my brethren," that they
go into Galilee, and there shall they see
me.
11 Now when they were going, be-
hold some of the watch came into the
city, and shewed unto the chief priests
all the thmgs that were done.
12 And when they were assembled
with the elders, and had taken counsel,
they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13 Saying, Say ye. His disciples came
by night, and stole >> him moarj while we
slept.
14 And if this come to the governor's
ears, we will persuade liim, and secure
you.
15 So they took the money, and did
as they were taught : and this sajing
is commonly reported among the Jews
until this day.
16 Then* the eleven disciples went
away into Galilee, into a mountain
where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw" him, they
worshipped him : but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto
them, saying, AU*" power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go3' ye therefore, and ^ teach* ail^
nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost ;
20 Teaching* them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I" am vnt\x you al-
way, even unto the end of the world.
Amen.
The GOSPEL according to St. MAEK.
^ CHAPTER I.
JLHE beginning of the gospel of Jesus
Clirist, the" Son of God ;
2 As it is written in the prophets,*' Be-
hold, I send my messen§;er before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The*^ voice of one crying in the wil-
derness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight.
4 John' did baptize in the wilderness,
and preach the baptism of repentance
^ for the remission/ of sins.
5 And there went out imto him all the
land of Judsea, and they of Jerusalem,
and were all baptized of him in the river
of Jordan, confessing^' their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's
hair, and with a girdle of a skin about
his loins; and he did eat locusts* and
wild honey ;
7 And preached, saying, There* cometh
one mightier than I after me, the latchet
of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop
down and unloose.
8 I indeed have baptized you with
water: but he shall baptize^ you with
the Holy Ghost.
9 And it came to pass in those days,
that Jesus came from Nazareth of Gali-
lee, and was baptized"* of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of
the water, he saw the heavens y opened,
and the Spirit," like a dove, descending
upon him :
11 And there came a voice from heaven,
saying. Thou art my beloved Son," in
whom I am well pleased.
12 And immediately the Spirit driveth
him into the wilderness.
13 And^ he was there in the wilderness
forty days, tempted of Satan; and was
with the wild beasts; and the angels
ministered unto him.
14 Now after that John was put in
prison, Jesus' came into Galilee, preach-
ing the gospel »■ of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time* is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent* ye, and believe" the gospel.
16 Now" as he walked by the sea of
Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his
brother, casting a net into the sea: for
thev were fishers.
17 And Jesus said unto them. Come ye
after me, and I ^vill make you to become
fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook their
nets, and followed him.
19 And when he had gone a httle
farther thence, he saw James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, who also
were in the ship mending their nets.
20 And straightway he called them:
and they left their father Zebedee in the
ship with the hired servants, and went
after him.
21 And they went into Capernaum:
and straightway on the sabbath day he
entered into the synagogue, and taught.
22 And* they were astonished at his

ship with his disciples, and came into the
parts of Dahnanutha.
11 And the Pharisees* came forth, and
began to question with him, seeking of
him a sign from heaven, terapting him.
12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and
saith. Why doth this generation seek after
a sign ? verUy I say unto you. There shall
no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and entering into
the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Now t?ie disciples had forgotten to
take bread, neither had they in the ship
with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take
heed, beware* of the leaven/ of the Pha-
risees, and o/the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves,
saying. It is because we have no bread.
17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith
unto them. Why reason ye, because ye
have no bread? perceive* ye not yet, nei-
ther understand? have ye your heart*
yet hardened?
18 Having eyes,"* see ye not ? and having
ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?"
19 When I brake the five loaves ^ among
five thousand, how many baskets full of
fragments took ye up? They say unto
him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven' among four
thousand, how many baskets fuU of frag-
ments took ye \x^ ? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them. How is it
that ye do not understand?
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and
they bring a blind man imto him, and
besought mm to touch him.*'
23 And he took the blind man by the hand,
and led him out of the town ; and when he
had spit"' on his eyes, and put his hands
upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I* see
men as trees, walking.
25 After that he put his hands again up-
on his eyes, and made him look up : and he
was restored, and sawv every man clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house,
saying. Neither go iato the town, nor tell
it to any in the town.
27 And Jesus* went out, and his disciples,
into the towns of Csesarea Philippi : and by
the way he asked his disciples, saying
unto them. Whom do men say that I am ?
28 And they answered, John* the Bap-
tist : but some sarj, Elias ; and others, One
of the prophets.
29 Ajad he saith imto them, But whom
say ye that I am ? And Peter answereth
and saith unto him, Thou/ art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they
should teU no man of him.
31 And he began to teach them, that
the Son of man must sufier many things,
and be rejected of the elders, and of the
chief priests, and scribes, and be killed,
and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly. And
Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had tiu-ned about and
looked on his disciples, he rebuked* Pe-
ter, saying. Get thee behind me, Satan :*
for thou savourest not the things that be
of God, but the things that be of men.
34 And when he had called the people
unto him with his disciples also, he said
unto them. Whosoever" will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up hia
cross, and foUow me.

ehall lose it; but whosoever shall lose
his Kfe for my sake and the gospel's, the
same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul ?
37 Or what shall a man give in ex-
change for his soul ?
38 Whosoever'' therefore shall be asham-
ed of me, and of my words, in this
adulterous and sinful generation, of him
also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he cometh in the glory of his
Father, with the holy angels.
. CHAPTER IX.
_A-ND he said imto them. Verily/ I say
imto you, That there be some of them
that stand here, which shall not^ taste of
death, till they have seen the kingdom
of God come with power.
2 And* after six days Jesus taketh xoifh
Mm Peter, and James, and John, and
leadeth them up into an high mountain
apart by themselves t and he was tx'ans-
figured before them.
3 And his raiment became shining, ex-
ceeding white™ as snow ; so as no fuller
on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias,
with Moses ; and they were talking with
Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus,
Master, it is good for us to be here :" and
let us make three tabernacles : one for
thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist^ not what to say ; for
they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that oversha-
dowed them : and a voice came out of
the cloud, saying, This* is my beloved
Son ; hear* him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked
round about, they saw no man any more,
save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the moun-
tain, he charged them that they should
tell no man what things they had seen, tUl
the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with them-
selves, questioning one with another what
the rising from the dead should mean.*'
11 And they asked him, saying. Why say
the scribes that Elias* must first come ?
12 And he answered and told them,
Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth aU
things ; and how it is written* of the Son
of man, that he must sufier many things,
and be" set at nought.
13 But I say unto you. That* Elias is
indeed come, and they nave done unto
hira whatsoever they listed, as it is
written of him.
14 And when he came to Ms disciples,
he saw a great multitude about them, and
the scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway aU the people, when
they beheld him, were gi'eatly amazed;
and running to Am, saluted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What
question ye ^ with them ?
17 And one of the multitude answered
and said. Master, I have brought unto thee
my son, which hath a dumb/ spirit : ^
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he
V teareth him ; and he foameth,* and gnash-
eth with his teeth, and pineth away ; and I
spake to thy disciples, that they should
cast him out ; and they could not. 1

ted murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude, crying aloud, be-
San to desire him to do as he had ever
one unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying,
WiU ye that I release unto you the King
of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests
had deUvered him for envy.*
11 But the chief priests moved the peo-
ple, that he should rather release'^ Barab-
bas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered, and said again
unto them. What will ye then that I shall
do unto him whom ye caU the King/ of
the Jews ?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify
him,
14 Then Pilate said unto them. Why,
what evil'* hath he done ? And they cried
out the more exceedingly. Crucify him,
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the
Seople, released Barabbas unto them, and
elivered Jesus, when he had scourged
Mm, to be crucified,
16 And the* soldiers led him away in-
to the hall called Prsetorium; and they
caU together the whole band.
17 And they clothed him with purple,
and platted a crown of thorns, and put it
about his head;
18 And began to salute him. Hail, King
of the Jews !
19 And they smote him on the head
with a reed, and did spit" upon him, and
bowing their knees, worshipped him.
20 And when they had mocked" him,
they took off the purple from him, and
put his own clothes on him, and led him
out to crucify him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cy-
renian, wlio passed by, coming out of the
country, the father of Alexander and Ru-
fus, to bear his cross.
22 And they? bring him unto the place
Golgotha, which is, being interpreted,
The place of a skuU.
23 And they gave him to drink wine min-
gled with myrrh : but he received it not.
24 And when they had crucified him,
they parted* his garments, casting lots up-
on them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour ; and they
crucified him.
26 And the superscription of his accu-
sation was written over, THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
27 And with him they crucify two
thieves ; the one on his right hand, and
the other on his left.
28 And the scripture" was fulfilled,
which saith. And he was numbered with
the transgressors,
29 And they'" that passed by railed on
him, wagging their heads, and saying.
Ah, thou* that destroyest the temple,
and buildest it in three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from
the cross. , , „ , ,
31 Likewise also the chief priests, mock-
ing, said among themselves with the
scribes. He saved others; himself he can-
not save.
32 Let Christ the King of Israel de-
scend now from the cross, that we may
see," and believe. And they that were
crucified with him reviled him.

come, there was darkness over tiie whole
land i;ntil the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried
with a loud voice, saying, Eloi," Eloi,
lama sabachthani? wliich is, being inter-
preted, My God, my Grod, why hast thou
forsaken me?*
35 And some of them that stood bj%
when they heard it^ said. Behold, he caU-
eth Ehas.
36 And one ran and filled a sponge full
of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and
gavC^ him to drink, sayin?. Let alone;
let us see whether EHas wUl come to
take him down.
37 And* Jesus cried with a loud voice,
and gave up the ghost.
33 And the vail of the temple was rent
in twain, from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood
over against him, saw that he so cried out,
and gave up the ghost, he said. Truly this
man was the Son of G-od.
40 There were also women looking on
afar/ off; among whom was Mary Slag-
dalene, and Mary the mother of James
the less, and of Joses, and Salome ;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee,
followed him, and ministeredf unto him ;)
and many other women which came up
with him unto Jerusalem.
42 And now when the even was come,
because it was the Preparation, that is,
the day before the sabbath,
43 Joseph of Ai'imathsea, an honourable
counsellor, which also waited' for the
kingdom of God, came, and went in
boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body
of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marvelled if he were
already dead : and calHng unto hi^n the
centurion, he asked him whether he had
been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centu-
rion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took
him down, and wrapped him in the linen,
and laid him in a sepulchre which was
hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stoned
unto the door of the sepulchre.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mar^ the
motlier of Joses beheld where he was laid.

AMio shall roll us away the stone from
the door of the sepulclire ?
4 And when they looked, they saw
that the stone was rolled away: for it
was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they
saw a young man sitting on the right side,
clothed in a long white garment; and
they were aflrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not
afii'ighted : Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth,
M'^hich
crucified: he is risen ;<^ he is
not here : behold the place where they
laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his disciples
and Peter that he goeth before you into
Galilee : there shall ye see him, as he
said unto you.
8 And they went out quickly, and fled
from the sepulclire ; for they trembled
and were amazed: neither said they any
thing to any man ; for they were afraid.
9 Now when Jesus was risen early the
first day of the week, he appeared first
to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had
cast seven devils.
10 And she went and told them that had
been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And they, when they had heard that
he was alive, and had been seen of her,
believed not.
12 After that he appeared in another
form unto two^ of them, as they walked,
and went into the country.
13 And they went and told it unto the
residue ; neither believed they them.
14 Afterward he-' appeared unto the
eleven as they sat at ^ meat, and upbraided
them with tneu' unbelief* and hardness
of heart, because they believed not them
which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go' ye into
all the world, and preach the gospel {o
every creature."*
16 He" that believeth, and is baptized,
shall be saved; but he" that believeth
not, shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them
that believe : In my 9 name shaU they
cast out devils ; they shall speak •■ with
new tongues ;
18 They shall take up serpents:* and if
they drink any deadly thing, it snail not
hurt them; they" shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shaU recover.
19 So then"" after the Lord had spoken
unto them, he was received up into hea-
ven, and sat* on the right hand of God.
20 An i they went forth and preached
every where, the Lord^ working with
them^ and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.

Jj ORASMUCH as many have taken in
hand to set forth in order a declaration
of those things which are most surely be-
lieved among us,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us,
which from the beginning" were eye-
witnesses, and ministers 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 cer-
tainty of those things wherein thou hast
been instructed.
5 ^HERE was, in the days of Herod/
the king of Judsea, a certain priest
named Zacharias, of the course of Abia:*
and his wife loas of the daughters of Aa-
ron, and her name ivas EHsabeth.
6 And they were both righteous* before
Grod, walking in all the commandments
and ordinances' of the Lord, blameless.
7 And they had no cliild, because that
EHsabeth was barren, and they both were
noiv well stricken in years.
8 And it came to pass, that while he
executed the priest's office before Grod 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 temiile of the Lord,
10 And the whole multitude of the peo-
ple were praying without,^ at the time of
incense.
11 And there appeared unto him an
angel of the Lord, standing on the right
side of the altar* of incense,
12 And when Zacharias saw liim^ he
was troubled," and fear fell upon him,
13 But the angel said unto him. Fear
not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is lieard;
and thy wife Elisabeth snail bear thee a
son, and thou shalt call his name John.*
14 And thou shalt have joy and glad-
ness; 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 EKas, to turn the
hearts of the fathers to the children, and
the disobedient Vto the wisdom/ oi the
just ; to make ready a people fl' prepared
for the Lord.
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel,
Whereby shall I know this ? for I* am an
old man, and my wife well stricken in
years.
19 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 that
these things shall be performed, because
thou believest not my words, which shall
be fulfilled in their season.

and marvelled that he tarried so long in
the temple.
22 And when he came out, he could
not speak unto them : and they perceived
that he had seen a vision in the temple;
for he beckoned unto them, and remained
speechless.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as
the days of his ministration were accom-
phshed, he departed to his own house.
24 And after those days, his wife Eli-
sabeth conceived, and hid herself five
months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me,
in the days wherein he looked on we, to
takei' away my reproach among men.
26 And in the sixth month the angel
Gabriel was sent from God, unto a city
of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin* espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house
of David; and the virgin's name ioas
Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her,
and said, HaiL thou that art ^ highly fa-
voured,»» the Lord" is with thee : blessed
art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was
troubled at his saying, and cast in her
mind what manner ot salutation this
should be.
30 And the angel said imto her, Fear
not, Mary; for thou hast found favour
with God.
31 And, behold, thou^ shalt conceive
in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and
shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, »" and shall be called
the Son* of the Highest : and the Lord
God shall give unto him the throne" of
his father David :
33 And he shall reign over the house
of Jacob for ever; and of*" his kingdom
there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel.
How shaU this be, seeing I know not a
man?
35 And the angel answered and said
unto her. The Holy Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshadow thee; therefore also
that holy thing which shaU be born of
thee shall be called'^ the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth,
she hath also conceived a son in her old
age : and this is the sixth month with her
who was called barren.
37_For« with God nothing shall be im-
possible.
38 And Mary said. Behold the hand-
maid* of the Lord ; be it imto me ac-
cording* to thy word. And the angel
departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and
went into the hiU country with haste,
into a™ city of Juda ;
40 And entered into the house of Za-
charias, and saluted EHsabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Eli-
sabeth heard the salutation oi Mary, the
babe leaped in her womb ; and EHsabeth
was filled with the Holy Ghost :
42 And she spake out with a loud voice,
and said. Blessed^ art thou among wo-
men, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Birth of John the Baidist.
43 And whence is tliis to me, that the
mother of my Lord" should come to me .^
44 For lo, as soon as the voice ot thy
salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe
leaped in my womb for joy. , ,. ,
45 And blessed is she Pthat beheved:
for there shall be a performance of those
things which were told her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said. My/ soul doth
magnify the Lord, . . , .
47 Aiid my spirit hath rejoiced^' m
God my Saviour. , , , , . , ,.
48 For he hath regarded the low' estate ot
his handmaiden: for, behold, from hence-
forth all generations shall caU me* blessed.
49 For he that is mighty « hath done to
me great things ;» and holy" is his name.
50 Audi" his mercy is on them that fear
him, from generation to generation.
51 He' hath shewed strength with his
arm; he hath scattered the'" proud m
the imagination of their hearts.
52 He» hath put down the mighty from
their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He' hath filled the hungry -nath good
things, and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 He hath holpen his servant Israel,
in« remembrance of his mercy ;
55 As he spake" to our fathers, to
Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
56 And Mary abode with her about three
months, and returned to her own house.
57 JSow EHsabeth's full time came,
that she should be delivered; and she
brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbours and her cousms
heard how the Lord had shewed great mer-
cy upon her ; and they*" rejoiced with her.
59 And it came to pass, that on the
eighth day they came to circumcise the
child; and they called him Zacharias,
after the name of his father. , -,
60 And his mother answered and said,
j^ot so ; but he shall be called John.
61 And they said unto her. There is none
of thy kindi-ed that is called by this name.
62 And they made signs to his father,
how he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writmg table,
and wrote, saying. His name is^ John.
And thev marvelled all.
64 And his mouth- was opened imme-
diately, and his tongue loosed, and he
spake, and praised God.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt
round about them : and aU these " say-
ings were noised abroad throughout aU
the hill country of Judsea :
66 And aU they that heard j^AejJi laid
ihem up'' in their hearts, saying. What
manner of child shall this be ! And the
hand** of the Lord was with him.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled
with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed/ le the Lord God of Israel ;
for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath raised up an horn of sal-
vationi' for us, in the house of his servant
David; , ...
70 As he spake* by the mouth of his
holy prophets, which have been since the
world began :
71 That we should be saved' from our
enemies, and from the hand of aU that
hate us ;
72 To perform the vxevcY P^omisedio our
fathers, and to* remember his holy covenant ;

4 That he would grant unto us, thot
we, being delivered out of the hand of our
enemies, might serve him* without fear,
75 In"^ holiness and righteousness be-
fore him, all<^ the days of our hfe.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the
Prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt
go* before the face of the Lord, to prepare
his ways ;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto
his people, 7 by the remission* of their sins,
78 Through the ^tender mercy of our
God; whereby the ^dayspring from on
high hath visited us,
79 To' give light to them that sit in
darkness and in the shadow of death, to
guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed
strong in spirit, and was in the deserts
till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
. CHAPTER n.
A "N'T) it came to pass in those days, that
there went out a decree from Csesar Augus-
tus, that aU the world should be ^ taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when
Cyrenius was governor of SjTia.)
3 And aU went to be taxed, every one
into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Gali-
lee, out of the city of Nazareth, into
Judsea, unto the city of David, which is
called Bethlehem, (because he was of the
house and lineage of David,)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused
wife, being great with chUd.
6 And so it was, that, while they were
there, the days were accomplished that
she should be delivered.
7 And she* brought forth her firstborn
son, and Avrapped him in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in a manger ; because
there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
^ watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone round
about them, and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them. Fear
not : for, behold, I bring you good tidings
of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you" is born this day, in
the city of David, a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall le a sign unto you :
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swad-
dling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the
angel* a multitude of the heavenly host,
praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace,' good wiU toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels
were gone away from them into heaven,
^the shepherds said one to another. Let
us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see
this thing which is come to pass, which
the Lord hath made kno-vvn unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe
lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they
made known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this cluld.
18 And all they that heard it wondered
at those things which were told them by
the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and
pondered them in her heart.

told unto them.
21 And when eight days were accqm-
Elished" for the circumcising of the child,
is name was called JESUS. which was
80 named of the angel* before he was
conceived in the womb.
22 And when*' the days of her purifica-
tion, according to the law of Moses, were
accomplished, they brought him to Jeru-
salem, to present him to the Lord ;
23 (As it is written in the law of the
Lord, Erery* male that openeth the womb
shall be called holy to the Lord ;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to
that which is said in the law of the Lord, A
pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Je-
rusalem, whose name was Simeon ; and
the same man tvas just andi' devout,
waiting for the consolation* of Israel:
and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the
Holy Grhost, that he should not see* death
before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the
temple : and when the parents brought in
the child Jesus, to do for him after the
custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms,
and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now™ lettest thou thy servant
depart in peace," according to thy word :
30 For mine eyes have seen" thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the
face of aU people ;
32 A light to lighten the 9 Gentiles, and
the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled
at those things which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed tnem, and said
unto Mary his mother. Behold, this child
is set for the fall* and rising again of
many in Israel; and for a sign which
shall be spoken" against ;
35 (Yea, a sword «" shall pierce through
thy own soul also,) that* the thoughts of
many hearts may be revealed.
36 And there was one Anna, a pro-
phetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the
tribe of Aser ; she was of a great age, and
had lived with an husband seven years
from her virginity ;
37 And she was a widow of about four-
score and four years, which departed not
from the temple, but served God with
fastings and prayers" night and day.
38 And she, coming in that instant,
gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, ana
spake of him to aU them that* looked
for redemption in * Jerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all
things according to the law of the Lord,
they returned into Galilee, to their own
city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed
strong in spirit, filled** with wisdom;
and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem
every « year at tne feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old,
they went up to Jerusalem, after the
custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the
days, as they returned, the child Jesus
tarried behind in Jerusalem ; and Joseph
and his mother knew not of it.

-^y , CHAPTER III.
JM OW in the fifteenth year of the reign of
Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being govei'n-
or of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch
of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch
of Ituraea, and of the region of Trachonitis,
and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas P and Caiaphas being the high
priests, the word of God came unto John
the son of Zacharias in the wUderness.
3 And*" he came into all the country
about Jordan, preaching the baptism of
repentance* for the remission of sins ;
4 As it is written in the book or the
words of Esaias the prophet," saying, The
voice of one crying in the wilderness.
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every
mountain and liill shall be brought low;
and the crooked shall be made straight, and
the rough ways shall be made smooth ;
6 Andy all flesh shall see the salvation
of God. , ,
7 Then said he to the multitude that
came forth to be baptized of him, O* ge-
neration of vipers ! who hath warned you
to flee from the wrath to come ?
8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits y worthy
of repentance; and begin not to say
within yourselves. We have Abraham to
our father : for I say unto you. That God
is able of these stones to raise up children
unto Abraham. , , . , ,
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the
root of the trees: every'' tree, therefore,
which bringeth not forth good fruit, is
hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 And the people asked him, saymg,
W^hat shall we do then ?
11 He answereth and saith unto them.
He/ that hath two coats, let him impart
to him that hath none ; and he that hath
meat, let him do likewise.
12 Then came also publicans" to be
baptized, and said unto him. Master,
what shall we do?
13 And he said unto them. Exact* no
more than that which is appointed you.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded

of him, saying, And what shall we do?
And he said unto them, ^ Do violence to
no man, neither accuse any^ falsely; and
be content'' with your V wages.
13 And as the people were * in expecta-
tion, and aU men Amused in their hearts
of John, whether he were the Christ or not ;
16 Jonn answered, saying unto them
all, I indeed baptize you with water ; but
one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of
whose shoes I am not worthy to imloose :
he shall baptize you with the Holy Grhost,
and with fire : . -, -, , -n
17 Whose fan/ is in his hand, and he will
throughly purge his floor, and will ^ gather
the wheat into his garner ; but the* chaff
he will burn* with fire unquenchable.
18 And many other things, in his ex-
hortation, preached he unto the people.
19 But* Herod the tetrarch, being re-
proyed by him for Herodias his brother
Philip's wife, and for all the evils which
Herod had done,
20 Added yet this above all, that he
shut up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were
baptized, it" came to pass, that Jesus
also being baptized, and praying, the
heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Grhost descended in a
bodily shape like a dove upon him; and
a voice came from heaven, which said.
Thou art my beloved Son ; in thee I am
weU pleased.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about
thirty years of age, being (as was sup-
posed) the son 5 of Joseph, which was
the son of Heli,

AND»» Jesus, bemg full of the Holy
Grhost, returned from Jordan, and was
led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the
devil. And" in those days ho did eat
nothing : and when they were ended, he
afterward hungered.
3 And the devU said unto him, If thou
be the Son of God, command this stone
that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It^
is written, That man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word of God.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an
high mountain, shewed unto him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of
time.
6 And the devil said unto him. All this
power will I give thee, and the glory of
them: for** that is delivered unto me;
and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou, therefore, wilt ') worship me,
aU shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto
him. Get thee behind me, Satan: for* it
is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem,
and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
and said unto him. If thou be the Son of
God, cast th^rseLf down from hence : _
10 For it is written. He' shaU give his
angels charge over thee, to keep thee ;
11 And in their hands they shall bear
thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy
foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus, answering, said unto
him, It is said. Thou" shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devU had ended all
the" temptation, he departed from him
for a season.
14 And Jesus «» returned in the power
of the Spirit into Galilee: and there
went out a fame of him through aU the
region round about.
15 And he taught in their synagogues,
being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth,* where
he had been brought up : and, as his
custom was, he^ went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and stood up for to
read.
17 And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esaias. And
when he had opened the book, he found
the place where it was written,
18 The* Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me
Christ irreaclies at Nazarelh.
to Ileal the brokenhearted," to preach
cleHverance to the captives, and reco-
vering* of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised,"^
19 To preach the acceptable year*^ of
the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave
it again to the minister, and sat down.
And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This
day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and won-
dered at the gracious/ words which pro-
ceeded out of his mouth. And they said,
Is i> not this Joseph's son ?
23 And he said unto them, Ye wiU
surely say unto me this proverb. Physi-
cian, heal thyself: whatsoever we have
heard done in Capernaum,' do also here
in thy coimtry.
24 And he said. Verily I say unto you,
No* prophet is accepted in his own
country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many' wi-
dows were in Israel in the days of EHas,
when the heaven was shut up™ three
years and six months, when great fa-
mine was throughout all the land ;
2Q But unto none of them was Elias
sent, save unto Sarepta, a citxj of Sidon,
unto a woman that %vas a widow.
27 And" many lepers were in Israel in
the time of Eliseus the prophet; and
none of them was cleansed, saving Naa-
man the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue,
when they heard these things, were filled
with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of
the city, and led him unto the Vbrow of
the hiU whereon their city was built, that
they might cast him down* headlong.
30 But he, passing* through the midst
of them, went his way ;
31 And came down to Capernaum, a
city of GralLlee, and taught them on the
sabbath days.
32 And they were astonished at his
doctrine : for liis word was with"* power.
33 And* in the synagogue there was a
man, which had a spirit of an unclean
devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, ^Let us alone; what 3' have
we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Naza-
reth ? art thou come to destroy us ? I« know
thee who thou art ; the* Holy One of Grod.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying. Hold
thy peace, and come out of him. And when
the devil had thrown him in the midst, he
came out of liim, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed, and
spake among themselves, saying. What
a word is this! for with authority and
power he commandeth the unclean spi-
rits, and* they come out. _
37 And the fame of him went out into
every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out of the synagogue,
and entered into Simon's house. Ands'
Simon's wife's mother was taken with a
great fever ; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and rebuked
the fever ; and it left her : and immediate-
ly she arose, and ministered unto them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they
that had any sick with divers diseases
brought them unto liim; and he laid his
hands on every one of them,and healed them.

The miraoi'fous draught of fishes,
41 And devils also came out of man\-,
crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ
the Son of Grod. And he, rebuking them,
suffered them not ^to speak: for they
knew that he was Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed,
and went into a desert place: and the
people sought him. and came unto him,
and stayed him, that lie sliould not de-
part from them.
43 And he said unto them, I must
preach the kingdom of Grod to other
cities also ; for therefore* am I sent.
44 And he preached in the synagogues
of Grahlee.
A CHAPTER Y.
-Zi-ND^ it came to pass, that, as the peo-
ple pressed upon him to hear the word of
G-od, he stood by the lake of Grennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the
lake: but the fishermen were gone out of
them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships,
which was Simon's, and prayed him that
he would thrust out a httle from the
land. And he sat down, and taught the
people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said
unto Simon, Launch" out into the deep,
and let down your nets for a draught.
p And Simon, answering, said unto
him. Master, we nave toUed aU the night,
and have taken nothing :P nevertheless,
at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And9 when they had this done, they
inclosed a great mmtitude of fishes : and
their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their part-
ners, which were in the other ship, that
they should come and help'* them. And
they came, and filled both the ships, so
that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he feU
down'* at Jesus' knees, saying. Depart
from me ; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that
were with him, at the draught of the
fishes" which they had taken :
10 And so was also James and John,
the sons of Zebedee, which were part-
ners with Simon. And Jesus said unto
Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou
shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their
ships to land, they forsook* aU, and fol-
lowed him.
12 And* it came to pass, when he was
in a certain city, behold, a man fuU of
leprosy; who seeing Jesus, fell on Ms
face, and besought him, saying. Lord, if
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 And he put forth his hand, and
touched him, saying, I will; be'' thou
clean. And immediately the leprosy de-
parted from him.
14 And he charged him to tell no man :
but go and shew thyself to the priest, and
ofifer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
commanded,/ for a testimony unto them.
15 But so much the more went there a
fame abroad of him: and^ great multi-
tudes came together, to hear, and to be
healed by him of their infirmities.
16 And' he withdrew himself into the
wUdemess, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass on a certain
day, as he was teaching, that* there were
Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting
by, which were come out of every town of
Tlie call of Matthew.
G-alilee, and Judsea, and Jerusalem; and the
power of the Lord was 'present to heal them.
18 And," behold, men brought in a bed
a man which was taken with a palsy:
and they sought means to bring him in,
and to lay him before him.
19 And when they could not find by what
way they might bring him in because of the
multitude, they went upon the housetop,
and let him down through the tiling, with
Ms couch, into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said
unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees
began to reason, saying, Who is this
which speaketh blasphemies? Who can
forgive* sins, but Grod alone ?
22 But when Jesus perceived their
thoughts, he, answering, said unto them.
What reason ye in your hearts ?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be
forgiven thee ; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son
of man hath power upon earth to forgive
sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,)
I say unto thee. Arise, and* take up thy
couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before
them, and tookup that whereonhelay,andde-
parted to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and' they
glorified Grod, and"* were filled with fear,
sajing, We have seen strange things to day.
27 And" after these things he went
forth, and saw a pubHcan, named Levi,
sitting at the receipt of custom: and he
said unto him. Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and fol-
low.ed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in
his own house: and' there was a great
company of publicans and of others that
sat down with them.
30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmur-
ed against his disciples, saying, Why do ye
eat and drink with publicans and sinners ?
31 And Jesus, answering, said unto
them, They that are whole need not a
physician;* but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but
ginners"' to repentance.
33 And they said unto him. Why do the
disciples of John fast often, and make
prayers, and likewise the disciples of the
Pharisees ; but^ thine eat and drink ?
34 And he said imto them, Can ye
make the children of the briaechamber
fast, while the bridegroom is with them ?
35 But the days will come when the bride-
groom shall be taken away from them, and
then shall they fast* in those days.
36 And'' he spake also a parable unto
them: No man putteth a piece of a new
garment upon an old: if otherwise, then
both the new maketh a rent, and the
piece that was taken out of the new
agreeth not* with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into
old bottles ; else the new wine will burst
the bottles and be spilled, and the bottles
shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into
new bottles ; and both are preserved.
39 No man also having drunk old loine
straightway desu-eth new: for he saith.
The old* is better.

LUKE, VI. The twelve Apostles chosen,
through the corn fields; and his disci-
ples plucked the ears of corn, and did
eat, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto
them, Why do ye that Avliich* is not law-
ful to do on the sabbath days ?
3 And Jesus answering them said. Have
ye not read so much as this, what* David
did, when himself was an hungred, and
they which were with him ;
4 How he went into the house of God,
and did take and eat the showbread, and
gave also to them that were with him;
which it is not lawful "^ to eat, but for the
priests alone ?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son
of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And/ it came to pass also on another
sabbath, that he entered into the syna-
gogue, and taught ; and there was a man
whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees watch-
ed him, whether he would heal on the
sabbath day,^' that they might find an
accusation against him.
8 But he knew their thoughts,* and
said to the man which had the withered
hand. Rise up, and stand forth in the
midst. And he arose, and stood forth.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will
ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the
sabbath days* to do good, or to do evil?
to save life, or to destroy it ?
10 And looking" round about upon
them all, he said unto the man. Stretch
forth thy hand. And he did so: and his
hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And they were filled with madness;
and communed^ one with another what
they might do to Jesus.
12 And*" it came to pass in those days,
that he went out into a mountain* to pray,
and continued aU night in prayer to God.
13 And when it was day, he called unto
him his disciples: and of them he chose
twelve,/ whom also he named apostles ;
14 Simon (whom" he also named Pe-
ter) and Andrew his brother, James and
John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son
of Alphaeus, and Simon caUed Zelotes,
16 And Judas* the brother of James, and
Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
17 And he came down with them, and stood
in the plain, and the company of his disci-
ples, and* a great multitude of ijeople out of
aU tfudsea and Jerusalem, and from the sea
coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear
him, and to be healed*' of their diseases ;
18 And they that were vexed with im-
clean spirits : and they were healed.
19 Ajid the whole multitude sought to
touch <^ him: for* there went virtue out of
him, and healed them aU.
20 And/ he lifted up his eyes on his
disciples, and said, Blessed he yea poor:
for your's is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger' now:
for ye shall be filled.* Blessed are ye
that weep^ now : for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall
hate'" you, and when they shall sepa-
rate" you from their company., and shall
reproach yoM, and cast out your name as
evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice* ye in that day, and leap
for joy: for, behold, your reward is great
in heaven: for in the like manner'' did
their fathers unto the prophets.
44
Exhortations to well doing.
LUKE, VII.
The widotv's son raised.
24 But woe unto you tliat are" ricli!
for ye have received* yovu* consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full!* for ye
BhaU hunger. Woe unto you that laugh «
now ! for ye shaU mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you when all men shall
speak weU/ of you! for so did their
fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear,
Love' your enemies, do good to them
which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and' pray
for them which despitefuUy use you.
29 And"' unto him that smiteth thee on
the one cheek offer also the other; and
him" that taketh away thy cloke forbid
not to take thy coat also.
30 Give' to every man that asketh of
thee ; and of him that taketh away thy
goods ask them not again.
31 And** as ye would that men should
do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you,
what thank have ye ? for sinners also love
those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do
good to you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye
hope to receive, what thank have ye ? for
sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as
much again.
35 But love ye your enemies," and do
good, and lend," hoping for nothing again
and your reward shall be great, and' ye
shall be the children of the Highest : for he
is kind unto the unthankful, and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your
Father also is merciful.
37 Judge « not, and ye shaU not be judged :
condemn not, and ye shall not be con-
demned : forgive, and ye shall be forgiven :
38 Give, and it shall be given" imto you ;
good measure, pressed down, and shaken
together, and running over, shall men
give into your bosom.* For'' with the
same measure that ye mete withal, it
shaU be measured to you agaiu.
39 And he spake a parable unto them :
Can<* the blind lead the blind? shaU they
not both fall into the ditch ?
40 The* disciple is not above his mas-
ter: but every one 7 that is perfect shall
be as his master.
41 And why beholdest thou the mote
that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest
not the beam that is in thine own eye ?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy
brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote
that is in thine eye, when thou thyself be-
holdest not the beam that is in thine own
eye ? Thou hypocrite ! cast-^ out first the
beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt
thou see clearly to puU out the mote that
is in thy brother's eye.
43 Fors' a good tree bringeth not forth
corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree
bring forth good frmt.
44 For* every tree is known by his own
fruit : for of thorns men do not gather figs,
nor of a bramble bush gather they ^grapes.
45 A' good man out of the good treasure
of his heart bringeth forth that which is
good ; and an evil man out of the evil
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is evil : for of the abundance of
the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And why call ye me," Lord, Lord,
and do not the things which I say ?

. CHAPTER XIX.
-AJND Jesus entered and passed through
Jericho,''
2 And, behold, there was a man named
Zacchseus, which was the chief among the
pubHcans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he
was ; and could not for the press, because
he was Uttle of stature,
4 And he ran before, and cUmbed up
into a sycamore tree to see him; for he
was to pass that wai/.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he
looked up, and saw/ him, and said unto
him, Zaccnteus, make haste, and come down ;
for to day I must abided' at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down,
and received him joj'fully.
7 And when they saw it, they aU mur-
mured, saying. That' he was gone to be
guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zacchseus stood, and said unto
the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my
goods I give to the poor:* and if I have
taken any thing from any man by" false
accusation, I restore " him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is
salvation come to this house, forsomuch
as he also is a son^* of Abraham.
10 For' the Son of man is come to seek
and to save that which was lost.*"
11 And as they heard these things, he
added and spake a parable, because he
was nigh to Jerusalem, and because* they
thought that the kingdom of God should
immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain" noble-
man went into a far country, to receive
for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and
dehvered them ten ^pounds, and said
unto them. Occupy tiU I come.
14 But* his citizens hated him, and
sent a message after him, saying. We will
not have this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass, that when he was
returned, having received the kingdom,
then he commanded these servants to be
called unto him, to whom he had given
the V money, that he might know how
much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord,
thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 And he said unto him. Well, thou
good servant : because thou hast been
faithful* in a very Uttle, have thou autho-
rity over ten cities. .
18 And the second came, saying. Lord,
thy pound hath gained five pounds,
19 And he said likewise to him. Bo
thou also over five cities. ,
20 And another came, saymg. Lord,
behold, here is thy pound, which I have
kept laid up in a napkm :
21 For 1 feared thee, because thou art
an austere man : thou takest up that thou
layedst not down, and reapest that thou
didst not sow.
22 And he saith unto him. Out* of thine
own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked
servant. Thou knewest that I was an
austere man, taking up that I laid not
down, and reaping that I did not sow :
23 Wherefore ^ then gavest not thou my
money into the bank, that at my coining I
might have required mine own with usury ?

by, Take from him the pound, and give it
to him that hath ten pounds,
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he
hath ten pound.s.)
26 For I say unto you, That* unto every
one which hath shall be given ; and from
hi-m that hath not, even that he hath shall
be taken away from him.
27 But those mine enemies, <^ which
would not that I should reign over them,
bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 And when he had thus spoken, he
went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And* it came to pass, when he was
come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at
the mount called the mount of Olives, he
sent two of his disciples,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over
against you ; in the which, at your entering,
ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet_ never
man sat : loose him, and bring him hither.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye
loose him? thus shall ye say unto him,
Because the Lord hath need^ of him.
32 And they that were sent went their way,
and found even as he had said unto them.
33 Ajid as they were loosing the colt,
the owners thereof said imto them, Why
loose ye the colt ?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need
of him.
35 And they brought him to Jesus : and
they cast their^ garments upon the colt,
and they set"* Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their
clothes in the way.
37 And when he was come nigh, even
now at the descent of the mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of the disciples began
to rejoice and praise Grod with a loud voice,
for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed « be the King that
Cometh in the name of the Lord ;" peace
in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from
among the multitude said unto him,
Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto
them, I tell you, that, if these should hold
their peace, the stones would immedi-
ately cry out.
41 And when he was come near, he
beheld the city, and wept over* it,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even
thou, at least in this thy day," the things
v)hich belong unto thy peace! bat now
they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee,
that thine enemies shall cast* a trench
about thee, and compass thee round, and
keep thee in on every side,
44 Andv shall lay thee even with the
ground, and thy children within thee ; and
they* shall not leave in thee one stone
upon another ; because '^ thou knewest
not the time of thy visitation.
45 And* he went into the temple, and
began to cast out them that sold therein,
and them that bought ;
46 Saying unto them. It is"^ written,
My house is the house of prayer: but ye
have made it a den* of thieves.
47 And he taught/ daily in the temple.
But the chief priests and the scribes and the
chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not find what they might
do: for aU the people 7 were very atten-
tive to hear him.

. CHAPTER XX.
^ND** it came to pass, that on one of
those days, as he taught the people in the
temple, and preached the gospel, the
chief i)riests and the scribes came upon
him, with the elders,
2 And spake unto him, saying, TeU us,
by'' what authority doest thou these
things ? or who is he that gave thee this
authority ?
3 And he answered and said unto them, I
will also ask you one thing ; and answer me :
4 The baptism of John, was it from
heaven, or of men ?
5 And they reasoned with themselves,
saying. If we shaU say. From heaven; he
wUl say. Why then believed ye him not ?
6 But and if we say. Of men ; all the
people win stone us: for/ they be per-
suaded that John was a prophet.
7 And they answered, that they could
not tell whence it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither teU
I you by what authority I do these things.
9 Then began he to speak to the people
this parable : A ^ certain man planted: a
vineyard,' and let it forth to husbandmen,
and went into a far country for a long time.
10 And at the season, he sent a servant
to the husbandmen, that they should give
him of the fruit* of the vineyard; but
the husbandmen beat him, and sent him
away empty.
11 And again he sent another servant:
and they beat him also, and entreated him
shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third : and they
wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard,
What shall I do ? I wiU send my beloved
son: it may be they wiU reverence him^
when they see him.
14 But when the husbandmen saw him,
they reasoned among themselves, saying.
This is the heir:^ come, let? us kiU him,
that the inheritance may be our's.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard,
and killed him. What therefore shall the
lord of the vineyard do imto them ?
16 He shaU come and destroy these
husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard
to others.* And when they heard if^
they said, God forbid.
17 And he beheld them, and said. What
is this then that is written. The" stone
which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the comer ?
18 Whosoever shaU fall upon that stone
shall be broken; but"* on whomsoever it
shaU fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 And the chief priests and the scribes
the same hour sought to lay hands on
him; and they feared the people: for
they perceived that he had spoken this
parable against them.
20 And they watched him, and. sent forth
spies, which should feign themselves just
men, that*' they might take hold of his
words, that so they might deliver him imto
the power and authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying. Master,
we know that thou sayest and teachest
rightly, neither acceptest thou the person
of any, but teachest the way of Grod P truly :
22 Is it lawftd for us to give tribute
unto Caesar, or no ?
23 But he perceived their craftiness,
and said unto them. Why tempt ye me ?
24 Shew me a ^ penny. Whose image
nor are given in marriage :
36 Neither? can tliey die any more:
for they are equal unto the angels;'" and
are the* children of G-od, being the chil-
dren of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even
Moses shewed" at the bush, when he call-
eth the Lord the G-od of Abraham, and
the G-od of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but
of the living : for^ all live unto him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answer-
ing said. Master, thou hast weU said.
40 And after that they durst not ask
him any question at all.
41 And* he said unto them. How say
they that Christ is David's son ?
42 And David himself saith'' in the book
of Psalms, The Loed said unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Till I make thine enemies thy foot-
stool.
44 David therefore caUeth him Lord,
how is he then his son ? _
45 Then in the audience of* all the
people he said unto his disciples,
46 Bewares' of the scribes, which desire to
walk in long robes, and love greetings* in
the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts ;
47 Which' devour widows' houses, and
for a show' make long prayers: the same
shall receive greater™ damnation.

j9lN"D he looked up, and" saw the rich
men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor -mdow
castiog in thither two 7 mites.
3 Ajttd he said. Of a truth I say unto
you, that this poor widow hath cast in
more*" than they all.
4 For aU these have of their abundance
cast in unto the offerings of G-od : but she
of her penury hath cast in aU the living
that she had.

and superscription hath it? They an-
swered and saicL Caesar's.
25 And he said unto them. Binder* there-
fore unto Coesar the things which be Ceesar's,
and unto God the things which be God's.
26 And they could not take hold of his
words before the people: and they mar-
velled at his answer, and held*^ their peace.
27 Then* came to him certain of the
Sadducees,/ which deny that there is any
resurrection ; and they asked him,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote*' unto
us, If any man's brother die, having a
wife, and he die without children, that his
brother should take his wife, and raise up
seed unto his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brethren :
and the first took a wife, and died with-
out children.
30 And the^ second took her to wife,
and he died childless.
31 And the third took her ; and in hke
manner the seven also : and they left no
children, and died.
32 Last of aU the woman died also.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose
wife of them is she? for seven had her
to wife.
34 And Jesus answering said unto them.
The children of this world marry, and
are given in marriage :
35 But they wliich shall be accounted
worthy" to obtain that world, and the re-
surrection from the dead, neither marry.

women that followed him from. Galilee,
stood afar*^ off, beholding these things.
50 And, behold, there was a man named
Joseph, a counsellor ; and he tvas a good
man, and a just :
51 (The same had not consented to the
counsel and deed of them ;) he toas of
Arimathsea, a city of the Jews : who* also
himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto Pilate, and
begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped
it in Hnen. and laid it in a/ sepulchre
that was hewn in stone, wherein never
man before was laid.
54 And that day was iheo preparation,
and the sabbath drew on.
55 And the women* also, which came
with him from Galilee, followed after,
and beheld the sepulchre, and how his
body was laid.
56 And they retmmed, and^ prepared
spices and ointments ; andrested the sabbath
day, according » to the commandment.
■^-r CHAPTER XXIV.
JMOW" upon the first day of the week,
very early in the morning, they came
unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices
which they had prepared, and certain
others with them.
2 And they foimd the stone rolled
away from the sepulchre,
3 And they entered in, and found not
the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were
much perplexed thereabout, behold,' two
men stood by them in shining garments :
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed
down their faces to the earth, they said
unto them. Why seek ye Vthe living
among the dead ?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remem-
ber how he spake* unto you when he
was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Sou of man must be deli-
vered into the hands of sinful men, and
be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,
9 And returned from the sepulchre,
and told all these things unto the eleven,
and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, and*" Jo-
anna, and Mary the mother of James, and
other women that loere with them, which
told these things imto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as
idle tales,* and they believed them not.
12 Then* arose Peter, and ran unto tlie
sepulchre : and stooping down, he beheld
the linen clothes laid by themselves, and
departed, wondering in himself at that
which was come to pass.
13 And behold, two* of them went
that same day to a village called Em-
maus, which was from Jerusalem about
threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all
these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they
communed* together and rea_soned, Jesus
himself drew near, and went \dih. them.
16 But their eyes were holden,* that
they should not know him.
17 And he said imto them, What manner
of communications are these that ye have
one to another, as ye walk, and are sad ?
18 And the one of them, whose name was
Cleopas,'^ answering said imto him, Art
thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and
The Disciples going to Mmmaus. LUKE, XXIV.
hast not known the things which are
come to pass there in these days ?
19 And he said unto them, What things ?
And they said unto him, Concerning Je-
sus of Nazareth, which was a* prophet
mighty'' in deed and word before God
and all the people :
20 And"^ how the chief priests and our
rulers delivered him to be condemned to
death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been/ he
which should have redeemed Israel:
and beside all this, to day is the third
day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women*' also of
our company made us astonished, which
were early at the sepulchre ;
23 And when they found not his body,
they came, saying, that they had also
seen a vision of angels, which said that
he was aUve.
24 And certain* of them which were
with us went to the sepidchre, and found
it even so as the women had said: but
him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them,"* O fools,
and slow of heart to believe aU that the
prophets have spoken !
26 Oughts not Christ to have suffer-
ed these things, and to enters into his
glory ?
27 And beginning at Moses,' and all
the prophets," he expounded unto them
in all the scriptures the things concern-
ing himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village
whither they went: and he"" made as
though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying,
Abide with us: for it is toward even-
ing, and the day is far spent. And he
went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at
meat with them, he" took bread, and
blessed it^ and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and
they knew him; and he Evanished out
of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did
not our heart bum*' within us, while he
talked with us by the way, and while
he opened to us the scriptures ?
33 And they rose up the same hour,
and returned to Jerusalem, and foimd
the eleven gathered together, and them
that were with thero,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed,
and hath/ appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things toere done
in the way, and how he was known of
them in breaking of bread.
36 And" as they thus spake, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of them, and
saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and af-
frighted, and supposed « that they had
seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, "Why are
ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise
in your hearts ?
. 3p Behold my hands and my feet, that
it is I myself: handle me, and see; for
a spu-it hath not flesh and bones, as ye
see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he
shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed* not
for joy, and wondered, he said imto
them. Have' ye here any meat ?
42 And they gave him a piece of a
broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat' be-
fore them.
44 And he said unto them. These » are
the words which I spake unto you, while
I was yet with you, that all" things
must be fulfilled, which were Avritten m
the law of Moses, and hi the'' prophets,
and in the psalms, * concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understand-
ingj that they might understand the
scriptures,
46 And said imto them. Thus it is writ-
ten, and thus it behoved Christ" to
suffer, and to rise'' from the dead the
third day :
47 And that repentance and 2' remis-
sion of sins should be preached in his
name among all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses* of these
things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of
my Father upon you: but tarry ye in
the city of Jerusalem, until ye be en-
dued with power* from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to
Bethany, and he lifted up his hands,
and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he
blessed them, he was parted from them,
and carried '^ up into heaven.
52 And« they worshipped him, and
returned to Jerusalem with great joy :
53 And were continually in the tem-
ple, praisings' and blessing 0od. Amen,

6 There was a man'' sent from God,
whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear
witness of the Light, that all men through
him might believe.
8 He" was not that Light, but teas sent
to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light,? which light-
eth eyery.man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world
was made by him, and« the world knew
him not.
11 He* came unto- his own, and his
own received him not.
12 But as many« as received him, to
them gave he y power to become the sons
of God, even to them" that believe on
his name : ,.,■,-,
13 Which were born,'" not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
wiU of man, but of God.
14 And the Word* was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and^ we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full* of grace and truth.
15 John« bare witness of lum, and cried,
sajTJig, This was he of whom I spake.
He that cometh after me is preferred be-
fore me : for he was before me.
16 And of his ftdness* have aU we
received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, hut
grace'' and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God"^ at any time ;
the« only begotten Son, which is in the bo-
som of the Father, he hath declared liim.
19 And this/ is the record of John, when
the Jews sent priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou ?
20 And he confessed, and denied not;
but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elias ? And he saith, I am not.
Art thou "that prophet? And he an-
swered, No. ^
22 Then said they unto him, Who art
thou ? that we may give an answer to them
that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself ?
23 He '■ said, I am the voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Make straight the way
of the Lord, as said the prophet* Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of
the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said unto
him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou
be not that Christ, nor EHas, neither
that prophet ?
26 John answered them, saying, I bap-
tize with water: but there standeth one"
among you, whom ye know not ;
27 He it is, who coming after me is

the dead, his disciples remembered that
he^ had said this unto them: and they
believed the scripture, and the word
which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at
the passover, in the feast dai/, many be-
lieved in his name, when they saw the
miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself
unto them, because he/ knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should tes-
tify of man : for he knew what was in man.
rp CHAPTER III.
XHERE was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus, * a ruler of the Jews :
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and
said unto him. Rabbi, we know that thou
art a teacher come from God : for ' no
man can do these miracles that thou
doest, except God'" be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Yerily, verily, I say unto thee. Except"
a man be born ^ again, he oaunot see the
kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him. How can
a man be born when he is old? can he
enter the second time into Ms mother's
womb, and be born ?
5 Jesus answered, Yerily, verily, I say
unto thee. Except a man be born of wa-
ter i* and of the Spirit, « he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God.
6 That* which is born of the flesh is
flesh ; and that wliich is born of the Spi-
rit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born P again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth: so" is every one that is
born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto
him, How can these things be ?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest
not these things ?
11 Yerily, verily, I say imto thee. We*
speak that we do know, and testify that we
have seen ; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things,
and ye believe not, how shall ye believe
if I tell you o/ heavenly things ?
13 And" no man hath ascended up to
heaven, but he that came down from
heaven, even the Son of man which is
in heaven.
14 And as* Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son
of man be lifted up : , . , .
15 That whosoever/ believeth in lum
should not perish, but have eternal Hfe.
16 For Godi' so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that who-
soever beheveth iu him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
17 For God' sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved.
18 He' that beheveth on him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not
beUeved in the name of the only begotten
Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that
light" is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hatetu

the light, neither" cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be ^ reproved.
21 But he that doeth' truth cometh to
the light, that his deeds may be made ma-
nifest, that they are wrought « in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his
disciples into the land of Judeea ; and there
he tarried with them, and baptized./
23 And John also was baptizing in ^Enon,
near to Salim,f because there was much wa-
ter there : and they* came, and were baptized.
21 For John » was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between
some of John's disciples and the Jews
about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said
unto him, Eabbi, he that was with thee
beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest"*
witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and
all men'* come to him.
27 John answered and said, A mani*
can Y receive nothing, except it be given
him fi'om heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that
I said, 3 I am not the Christ, but that I'"
am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride* is the bride-
groom : but the friend * of the bridegroom,
which standeth and heareth him, rejoic-
eth greatly because of the bridegroom's
voice : this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above " is above
all: hey that is of the earth is earthly,
and speaketh of the earth : he that cometh
from heaven is above all,
32 And what he hath seen and heard,
that he testiiieth; and no man** receiveth
his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony
hath set ^ to his seal that God is true.
34 For he* whom God hath sent speak-
eth the words of God : for God giveth not
the Spirit by measure/ unto Mm.
35 The Father loveth the Son, «' and hath
given all things into his hand.
36 He* that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life : and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath*
of God abideth on him.
^T^ CHAPTER IV.
When therefore the Lord knew how
the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made
and baptized" more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not,
but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again
into Galilee.
4 And he must needs " go through Sa-
maria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria,
which is called Sychar, near to the parcel
of ground that Jacob gave^ to his son
Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there._ Jesus
therefoi'e, being wearied with Ids journey,
sat thus on the well: and it was about
the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to
draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give
me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria
unto him, How is it that thou, being a
Jew, askest drink of me, which am a
woman of Samaria? for the Jews have
no dealings « with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her,
A.B.
JOHN, IV. Christ at the ivell of Samaria.
If thou knewest the gift * of God, and who
it is that saith to thee. Give me to di'ink ;
thou wouldest have asked of him, and he
would have given thee living ^ water.
11 The woman saith unt9 him, Su',
thou hast nothing to draw with, and the
well is deep: from whence then hast
thou that Hvmg water ?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob,
which gave us the well, and drank thereof
himself, and his children, and his cattle ?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her.
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall
thirst again :
14 But whosoever* drinketh of the water
that I shall give ' him shall never thirst ;
but the water that I shall give him shall
be in him" a well of water springing up
into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith imto him, Sir,
give me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy
husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I
have no husband. Jesus said unto her,
Thou hast well said, I have no husband :
18 For thou hast had five husbands ;
and he whom thou now hast is not thy
husband : in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I
perceive " that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this moun-
tain;"" and ye say, that in Jerusalem* is
the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, be-
lieve me, the hour cometh, when ye*
shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship* ye know not what:
we know what we worship: for salvation*'
is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship
the Father in spirit * and in truth : for the
Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God* is a Spirit : and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that
Messias cometh, which is called Christ:
when he is come, he wiU tell us all things.
2Q Jesus saith unto her, I"* that speak
unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples,
and marvelled that he talked with the
woman: yet no man said, What seekest
thou ? or, Why talkest thou with her ?
28 The woman then left her waterpot,
and went her way into the city, and saith
to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all
things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, a.nd
came unto him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed
him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat
to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to
another, Hath any man brought him onght
to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them. My meat« is
to do the wiU of him that sent me, and
to finish *' his work.
35 Say not ye. There are yet four months,
and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto
you. Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields ;
for they are v/hite already to harvest. *

The impotent man healed. JOHN, V.
aud gathereth j&*uit « unto life eternal : A.B.
that both* he that soweth and he that
reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true,
One<^ soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye
bestowed no labour: other « men labour-
ed, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 And many of the_ Samaritans of
that city believed on him for the say-
ings' of the woman, which testified. He
told me all that ever I did.
40 So Avhen the Samaritans were come
unto him, they besought him that he
would tarry with them: and he abode
there two days.
41 And many more believed because
of his own word ;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we
believe, not because of thy saying: for*
we have heard him ourselves, and know
that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour
of the world.
43 Now after two days he departed
thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that" a pro-
phet hath no honour in his OAvn country.
45 Then when he was come into Gralilee,
the Galilseans received him, having seen" all
the things that he did at Jerusalem at the
feast : for? they also went unto the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of
Galilee, where he made"" the water wine.
And there was a certain V nobleman,
whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come
out of Judsea into Galilee, he went imto
him, and besought him that he would
come down, and ' heal his son : for he
was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him. Except ye
see signs" and wonders, ye Avill not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him. Sir,
come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him. Go* thy way:
thy son liveth. And the man believed
the word that Jesus had spoken unto
him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down,
his servants met him, and told him, say-
ing. Thy son liveth.
52 Then inquired he of them the hour
when he began to amend. And they
said unto him. Yesterday at the seventh
hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it teas at
the same* hour, in the which Jesus said
unto him, Thy son liveth : and himseK
beheved,*' and his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle
that Jesus did, when he was come out of
Judsea into Galilee.
. CHAPTER V.
After this there was a feast*' of the
Jews : and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Is ow there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
8 market, a pool, which is called in the He-
brew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of
impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered,
waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain
season into the pool, and troubled the wa-
ter: whosoever then first* after the trou-
bling of the water stepped in, was made
whole ' of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which
had an infirmity"* thirty and eight years.

11 He answered them. He that made
me whole, the same said unto me, Take
up thy bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man
is that which said unto thee, Take up
thy bed, and walk ?
13 And he that was healed wist' not Avho
it was : for Jesus had conveyed "* himself
away, ^ a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the
temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou
art made whole: sin^ no more, lest a
worse thing come unto thee.
1 5 The man departed, and told the Jews that
it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute
Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he
had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My» Fa-
ther worketli hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to
kill * him, because he not only had broken
the sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making" himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said vmto
them, Yerily, verily, I say unto you, '" The
Son can do nothing of himself, but what
he seeth the Father do: for what things
soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son
likewise.
20 Fory the Father loveth the Son, and
sheweth him all things that himself doeth :
and he will shew him greater works than
these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the
dead, and quickeneth them; even^ so the
Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but
hath committed « all judgment unto the
Son;
23 That all men should honour the Sou,
even as they honour the Father. He that
honoureth not the Son, honourcth not the
Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He*^ that
heareth my word, and beheveth on him
that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but
is passed/ from death unto life.
25 Yerily, verily, I say unto you, The
hour is coming, and now is, when the
deadi' shall hear the voice of the Son of
God ; and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in liim-
self; so hath he given to the Son to have
life* in himself ;
27 And hath given liim authority* to
execute judgment also, because he is the
Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in the which aU that are in the
graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they*' that
I A.D.Zl.

have done good, unto the resurrection of
life; and they that haye done evil, unto
the resurrection of damnation. «
30 I * can of mine own self do nothing :
as I hear, I judge: and my judgnient is just :
because I seek not mine own will, but the
will'' of the Father which hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness'^ of myself, my
witness is not true.
32 There is another*' that beareth wit-
ness of me ; and I know thiat the witness
which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye sent unto John, and* he bare
witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from
man : but » these things I say, that ye
might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining
light: and ye were willing^' for a season
to rejoice in his light.
SQ But I have greater witness than that
of John ; for the works »* which the Fa-
ther hath given me to finish," the same
works that I do, bear witness of me, that
the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father^ himself, which
hath sent me, hath borne witness of me,
Ye« have neither heard his voice at any
time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word '' abiding
in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye
believe not.
39 Search' the scriptures; for in them
ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are" they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come" to me, that
ye might have life.
41 I receive not honoiu' from* men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not
the love of Grod in you.
43 I am come in niy Father's name, and
ye receive me not : if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which y receive
honour one of another, and seek^ not the
honour that cometh from God only ?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you
to the Father : there is « one that accuseth
you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would
have believed me : for he<' wrote of me.
47 But if ye*^ believe not his writings,
how shall ye believe my words ?
. CHAPTER YI.
JLFTEE.* these things Jesus went over
the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of
Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him,
because they saw his miracles which he
did on them that were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a moun-
tain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the
Jews, was nigh.
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes,
and saw a great company come unto him,
he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we
buy bread, that these may eat ?
6 And this he said to prove him: for
he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him. Two* hundred
pennyworth of bread is not sufficient
for them, that every one of them may
take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five
barley loaves, and two small fishes: but
what are they among so many ?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit
down. Now there was much grass in
the place. So the men sat down, in
number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves ; and
when he had given thanks, he distributed
to the disciples, and the disciples to them
that were set down; and likewise of the
fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled,/ he said
unto his disciples. Gather up the frag-
ments that remain, that nothings' be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together,
and filled twelve baskets with the fragments
of the five barley loaves, which remained
over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had
seen the miracle that Jesus did, said.
This is of a truth that' prophet that
should come into the world.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived
that they would come and take him by
force, to make him a king, he departed
again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And" when even was noto come, his
disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over
the sea toward Capernaum. And it was
now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose* by reason of a
great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five
and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see
Jesus walking on the sea, and dra\\dng
nigh unto the ship : and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them. It is I;""
be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly^ received him
into the ship: and immediately the ship
was at the land whither they went.
22 The day following, when the people
which stood on the other side of the sea
saw that there was none other boat there,
save that one whereinto his disciples were
entered, and that Jesus went not with
his disciples into the boat, but that his
disciples were gone away alone ;
23 (Howbeit there came other boats
from Tiberias, nigh unto the* place
where thejr did eat bread, after that the
Lord had given thanks :)
24 When the people therefore saw that
Jesus was not there, neither his disci-
ples, they also took shipping, and came
to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on
the other side of the sea, they said unto
him. Rabbi, when camest thou hither ?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Ye-
rily, verily, I say unto you. Ye seek me, not
because ye saw the miracles, but because
ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 ^ Labour not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that/ meat which en-
dureth unto everlasting life, which the
Son of man shall give imto you: for
liim*' hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto liim, What shall we
do, that we might work the works of God ?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them.
This* is the work of God, that ye believe
on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What
sign* shewest thou then, that we may see,
and beUeve thee ? what dost thou work ?
31 Our fathers' did eat manna in the
desert; as it is written,"* He gave them
bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Yerily,
Christ the bread of life.
verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not
that bread from heaven; but ray'' Father
giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God'' is he which
Cometh down from heaven, and giveth
life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord,
evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life : he '^ that cometh to me shall
never hunger; and he* that believeth on
ine shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye/ also
have seen me, and believe not.
37 All* that the Father giveth me shaU
come to me; and him* that cometh to
me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not
to do mine own will, but ^ the will oi him
that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's wiU" which
hath sent me, that of all which he hath
given me I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent
me, that^ every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him, may have everlasting
life : and I will'* raise him up at the last day,
41 The Jews then murmured at him,
because he said, I am the bread which
came down from heaven.
42 And they said. Is" not this Jesus,
the son of Joseph, whose father and mo-
ther Ave know? how is it then that he
saith, I came down from heaven ?
43 Jesus therefore answered and said un-
to them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the
Father which hath sent me draw ^ him :
and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written* in the prophets. And
they shall be all taught of Grod. Every
man* therefore that hath heard, and hath
learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not" that any man hath seen the
Father, save he wliich is of Grod,* he hath
seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you," He
that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I*^ am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the
wilderness, and* are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh
down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and* not die.
51 I am the living bread which came
down from heaven : if any man eat of
this bread, he shaU live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is my flesh,* which
I will give for the life' of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among
themselves, saying, How"* can this man
give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except" ye eat
the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso ^ eateth my flesh, and drink-
eth my bipod, hath eternal life ; and I
will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my llesh is meat indeed,** and
my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth* my flesh, and drink-
eth my blood, dweUeth' in me, and I in
him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me,
and I live by the Father: so* he that
eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down

I that also he should gather together in
j one the chikben of God that were scat-
j tered ^ abroad.
I 53 Then from that day forth they took
I counsel together* for to put him to death.
I 54 Jesu3 therefore walked no more
j openly/ among the Jews : but went thence
I unto a country near to the wilderness,
into a city called Ephraim,* and there
' continued with his disciples.
I 55 And* the Jews' passover was nigh
' at hand : and many went out of the coun-
try up to Jerusalem before the passover,
to purify themselves.
56 Then* sought they for Jesus, and
spake among themselves, as they stood in
the temple. What think ye, that he will
not come to the feast ?
57 Now both the chief priests and the
Pharisees had given a commandment, that^
if any man knew where he were, he should
shew it. that they might take him.
rn CHAPTER XII.
XHEN Jesus, six days before the pass-
over, came to Bethany, where" Lazarus
was which had been dead, whom he raised
from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper, and
Martha P served: but Lazarus was one of
them that sat at the table with him.
3 Then9 took Mary a pound of ointment
of spikenard, very costly, and anointed
the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with
her hair: and the house was filled with
the odour of the oiatment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, which should be-
tray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for
three hundred pence, and given to the poor ?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the
poor ; but because he was a thief," and had ^
the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone : against
the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 For* the poor always ye have with
you; buty me ye have not always.
9 Much people of the Jews therefore
knew that he was there: and they came
not for Jesus' sake onl}^ but that they
might see Lazarus also, whom he had
raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests consulted that
they might put Lazarus also* to death;
11 Because that*^ by reason of him many
of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 On<^ the next day much people that
were come to the feast, when they heard
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of palm trees, and
went forth to meet him, and cried,/ Ho-
sanna ! Blessed is the King of Israel that
cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a
young ass, sat thereon ; as it is » written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold,
thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 These things* understood not his
disciples at the first : but when Jesus was
glorified," then remembered" they that
these things were written of him, and that
they had done these things unto him.
17 The people therefore that was with
him when he called Lazarus out of his
grave, and raised him from the dead, bare
record.
18 For' this cause the people also met
him, for that they heard that he had done
this miracle.

JOHN, XIII.
Christ toasJtes the disciples' feet.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among
themselves, Perceive" ye how ye prevail
nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 And there were certain*^ Greeks
among them that<^ came np to worship
at the feast :
21 The same came therefore to^ Philip,
which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and de-
sired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew:
and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying,
The horn' is* come, that the Son of man
should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you,'"^ Ex-
cept a corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth alone: but if it die,
it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He^ that loveth his life shall lose
it; and he that hateth his life in this
world, shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If"* any man serve me, let him fol-
low me ; and where " I am, there shall
also my servant be: if^' any man serve
me, him will mi/ Father honour.
27 Now 5 is my soul troubled; and what shall
I say? Father, save me from this hour:
but' for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came
there avoice^ from heaven, saying, I have
both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore that stood by,
and heard it, said that ft thundered:
others said, An angel spake to Mm.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice
came not because of me, but^ for your
sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now
shall'' the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted* up from the
earth, will draw all*' me7i unto me.
33 This lie said, signifying** what death
he should die.
34 The people answered him. We have
heard* out oi the law/ that Christ abid-
eth for ever: and how sayest thou. The
Son of man must be lifted up? who is
this Son of man ?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a
little while is the light* with you.» "Walk
while ye have the light, lest darkness
come upon you: for he' that walketh in
darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the
light, that ye may be"' the children of
light. These things spake Jesus, and de-
parted, and did hide himself from them.
37 But though he had done so many
miracles before them, yet they believed
not on him :
38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet
might be fulfilled, which he spake, " Lord,
who hath believed our report ? and to whom
hath the arm of the Lord been revealed ?
39 Therefore they could not believe,
because that Esaias said 9 again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and
hardened their heart; that they should
not see with their eyes, nor understand
with their heart, and be converted, and
I should heal them.
41 These things said Esaias, when* he
saw his glor J', and spake of him.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers
also many believed on him; but^ because of
the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest
they should be put out of the synagogue :
43 For* they loved the praise of men
more than the praise of God.

44 Jesus ci'ied and said, He* that be-
lieveth on me, believctli not on me, but
on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him
that sent me.
46 1/ am come a light into the world,
that whosoever belicveth on me should
not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and be-
lieve not, I judge him not : for I came*' not
to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth
not my words,' hath one that judgeth
him: the word that I have spoken, the
same shall judge him in the last day,
49 For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me, he gave
me a commandment, what I should sa)'-,
and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his command-
ment" is life everlasting: whatsoever
I speak therefore, even as the Father said
unto nle, so I speak.
-^y CHAPTER XIII.
JM OW *■ before the feast of the passover,
when Jesus knew that his hour* was
come that he should depart out of this
world unto the Father, having" loved
his own which were in the world, he
loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the''' devil
having now put into the heart of Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him ;
3 Jesus knowing* that the Father had
given all things into his hands, and that^ he
was come from God, and went to God ;
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside
his garments ; and took a towel, and
girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a
bason, and began to wash the disciples'
feet, and to wipe them witli the towel
wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and
^ Peter saith unto him. Lord, dost 9 thou
wash my feet ?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him,
WTiat I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never
wash my feet. Jesus answered him. If * I
wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord,
not my feet only, but also my hands and
my head. .
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed
needeth not save to wash his feet, but is
clean every whit: and ye are clean, but
not all. ,,,-,,,•,.
11 For" he knew who should betray him ;
therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed then* leet,
and had taken his garments, and was set
down again, he said unto them. Know
ye what I have done to you ? , _ , ,
13 Ye^ call me Master and Lord: and
ye say well ; for 50 I am j ,r i.
14 If I then, your Lord and Master,
have washed your feet; ye also ought to
wash one another's feet.
15 For*" I have given you an example,
that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
servant is not greater than his lord;
neither he that is sent greater than he
that sent him.
17 If" ye know these things, happy
are ye if ye do them.
18 1 speak not of you all : I know whom
Peter^s self confidence.
JOHN, XIV.
ChrisVs consolatory discourse.
I have cliosen: but that the" scripture
may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with
me, hath lifted up his heel against me.
19 ^Now I tell*' j'ou before it come,
that, when it is come to pass, ye may be-
lieve that I am he.
20 A''erily, verily. I say unto you,*' He
that receiveth whomsoever I send re-
ceiveth me : and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me.
21 When* Jesus had thus said, he was
troubled in spirit, and testified, and said.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one
of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on
another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus'
bosom one'-" of his disciples, whom Jesus
loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to
him, that he should ask who it should
be of whom he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast
saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I
shall give a V sop, when I have dipped it.
And when he had dipped the sop, he gave
it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan " entered
into him. Then said Jesus unto him.
That thou doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew for
what intent he spake this unto him.
29 For some of them thought,^ because
Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said
unto him. Buy those things that we have
need of against the feast; or, that he
should give something to the poor.
30 He then, having received the sop,
went immediately out : and it was night.
31 Therefore when he was gone out,
Jesus said. Now* is the Son of man glo-
rified, and God" is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God
shall also glorify him in himself, and
shaE straightway glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I
am with you. Ye shall seek me : and* as
I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot come ; so now I say to you.
34 A new« commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 Bj^ this shall all men know that ye are
my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36 Simon Peter said unto him. Lord,
whither goest thou? Jesus answered him.
Whither I go, thou canst not foUow me
now; but* thou shalt follow me afterwards.
37 Peter said unto him, L9rd, why can-
not I follow thee now? I will*' lay down
my life for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him. Wilt thou lay
down thy life for my sake ? Verily, verily,
I say unto thee. The cock shall not crow,
till thou hast denied me thrice.
T- CHAPTER XIV.
JLET« not your heart be troubled: ye
beUeve in God, believe f' also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many man-
sions : if it were not- «o, I would have told
you. I go» to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will' come again, and receive you

18 As thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into the
world.
19 Andy for their sakes I sanctify my-
self, that they also might be Y sanctified
through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but
for them also which ehaU believe on me
through their word ;
21 That they all may be one ; ^ as thou,
Father, art in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be one in us : that the
world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory* which thou gavest
me I have given them; that they may be
one, even as we are one :
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they
may be made perfect in one ; and that the
world may know that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom
thou hast given me, be/ with me where I
am ; that they may behold my glory, which
thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me
before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath
not known thee : but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou hast sent
me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy
name, and wiU declare it: that the love
wherewith thou hast loved me may be in
them, and I in them.
■^■jrj. CHAPTER XVIII.
W HEN Jesus had spoken these words,
he went forth with his disciples over the
brook Ceclron,^' where was a garden, into
the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him,
knew the place : tor Jesus ofttimes re-
sorted thither with his disciples.
3 Judas* then, having received a band
of men and officers from the chief priests
A.l).
Examined hi/ the high priest. JOHN, XIX.
and Pharisees, cometh thither with lan-
terns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing* all things
that should come upon him, went forth,
and said unto them. Whom seek ye ?
5 They answered him, Jesus of** Naza-
reth. Jesus saith unto them, I arn he. And
Judas also, which betrayed him, stood
with them.
6 As soon then as he had said unto
them, I am he, they-'' went backward, and
fell to the ground.
7 Then asked he them again. Whom seek
ye ? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, I have told you that
I am he: if therefore ye seek me,*' let
these go their way:
9 That the saying might be fulfilled
which he spake,' Of them which thou
gavest me have I lost none.
10 Then^ Simon Peter, having a sword,
drew it, and smote the high priest's ser-
vant, and cut off his right ear. The
servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy
sword into the sheath : the cup*" which my
Father hath given me, shall I not drink it ?
12 Then the band and the captain and offi-
cers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 And led him away to Annas" first;
for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which
Avas the high priest that same year. V
14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave
counsel'' to the Jews, that it was expedient
that one man should die for the people.
15 And* Simon Peter followed Jesus,
and so did another disciple: that disciple
v/as known unto the high priest, and went
in with Jesus into the palace of the high
priest.
16 But Peter stood at the door without.
Then went out that other disciple, which
was known unto the high priest, and
spake unto her that kept the door, and
brought in Peter.
17 Then saith the damsel that kept the
door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of
this man's disciples ? He saith, I am not.
18 And the servants and officers stood
there, who had made a fire of coals; for
it was cold: and they Avarmed them-
selves: and Peter stjod with them, and
warmed himself.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of
his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, I spake"* openly
to the world j I ever taught in the synagogue,
and in the temple, whither the Jews always
resort ; and^ in secret have I said nothing.
21 Why askest thou me ? ask them which
heard me, what I have said unto them:
behold, they know what I said.
22 And when he had thus spoken, one
of the officers which stood by struck* Je-
sus 5 with the palm of his hand, saying,
Answerest thou the high priest so ?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have
spoken evil, bear witness of the evil :
but * if well, why smitest thou me ?
24 Now & Annas had sent him bound
unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed
himself. They said therefore unto him.
Art not thou also one of his disciples?
He denied it,, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high
priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter
cut off, saith. Did not I see thee in the
garden with him ?

Armigned before Pilate.
27 Peter then denied again: and" im-
mediately the cock crew.
28 Then'' led they Jesus from Caiaphas
unto ^the hall of judgment: and it was
early ; and they themselves went not into
the judgment hall, lest« they should be de-
filed ; but that they might eat the passover.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and
said, What accusation bring ye against
this man ?
30 They answered and said unto him.
If he were not a malefactor, we would
not have deHvered him up unto thee.
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye
him, and judge him according to your law.
The Jews therefore said unto him. It is not
lawful for us* to put any man to death :
32 That the saying of Jesus might bo
fulfilled, which he spake, '^ signifying
what death he shoidd die.
33 Then Pilate entered into the judg-
ment hall again, and called Jesus, and said
unto him. Art thou the King of the Jews ?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou
this thing of thyself, or did others tell it
thee of me ?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew ? Thine
own" nation and the chief priests have
delivered thee unto me: what hast thou
done?
36 Jesus i' answered, My? kingdom is
not of this world : if my kingdom were of
this world, then would my servants fight,
that I should not be delivered to the Jews :
but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art
thou a king then ? Jesus answered. Thou
sayest that I am a king. To this end was
I born, and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear* witness unto
the truth. Every one" that is of the truth
heareth my voice.
38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth ?
And when he had said this, he went out
again unto the Jews, and saith unto them,
I find in him no fault at all.
39 But ye have a custom, that I should
release unto you one at the passover:
will ye therefore that I release unto you
the King of the Jews ?
40 Then cried they all again, saying,
Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Ba-
rabbas was a robber.
^ CHAPTER XIX.
XHEN" Pilate therefore took Jesus,
and scourged " him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of
thorns, and put it on his head, and they
put on him a purple robe,
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews !
and they smote him with their hands.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and
saith unto them. Behold, I bring him
forth to youj that ye may know that" I
find no fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the
crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And
Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
6 When the chief priests therefore and
officers saw him, they cried out, saying,
Crucify him, crucify hhn. Pilate saith
unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him :
for I find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him. We" have a
law, and by our law he ought to die, be-
cause'' he made himself the Son of G-od.
8 When Pilate therefore heard that
saying, he was the more afraid;
9 And went again into the judgment

hall, and saitli unto Jesus, Whence art
thou ? But" Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speak-
est thou not unto me? knowest* thou not
that I have power to crucify thee, and
have power to release thee ?
11 Jesus answered, Thou* couldest
have no i)Ower at all against me, except
it were given thee from above -.s there-
fore he' that dehvered me unto thee hath
the greater' sin.
12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought
to release him: but the Jews cried out,
saying, If thou let this man go, thou art
not Caesar's friend : whosoever "» maketh
himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.
13 When" Pilate therefore heard that
saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat
down in the judgment seat, in a place
that is called the Pavement, but in the
Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And 9 it was the preparation of the
Eassover, and about the sixth hour : and
e saith unto the Jews, Behold your King !
15 But they cried out. Away with him,
away with him, crucify nim ! Pilate saith
unto them, Shall I crucify your King?
The chief priests answered. We * have no
king but Csesar.
16 Then" delivered he him therefore
unto them to be crucified. And they
took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went"" forth
into a place called the place of a skull,
which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha :
18 Where they crucified him, and two
other with him, on either side one, and
Jesus in the midst.
19 And* Pilate wrote a title, and put
it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZAEETH THE KING-
OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the
Jews : for the place where Jesus was cru-
cified was nigh to the city : and it was
written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the
Jews to Pilate, Write not. The King of the
Jews ; but that he said, I am King of
the Jews.
22 Pnate answered, What I have writ-
ten I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had cru-
cified Jesus, took his garments, and made
four parts, to every soldier a part ; and also
his coat : now the coat was without seam,
^ woven/ from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among them-
selves. Let us not rend it, but cast lots for
it, whose it shall be : that the scripture
might be fulfilled, which saith,* They
parted my raiment among them, and for
my vesture they did cast lots. These
things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Je-
sus his mother, and liis mother's sister,
Mary the loife of V Cleophas,* and Mary
Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mo-
ther, and the disciple standing by,"* whom
he loved, he saith unto his mother. Wo-
man,® behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the discii)le, Behold
thy mother !p And from that hour that
disciple took her unto his own « home.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that aU
things were now accomplished, that the
Bcripture* might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of

The ACTS of the APOSTLES.
rty CHAPTEE- I.
xHB former treatise* have I made, O
Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both
to do and teach,
2 Until <^ the day in which he was taken
up, after that he through the Holy Grhost
had given commandments/ unto the apos-
tles whom he had chosen :
3 To whom also he shewed himself
alive after his passion, by many*' infalli-
ble proofs, being seen of them forty days,
and speaking of the things pertaining to
the kingdom of God ;
4 And ^ being assembled together with
them, commanded' them that they should
not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for
the promise of the Father, which, saith
Tie, ye "* have heard of me :
5 For John " truly baptized with water ;
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost," not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come to-
gether, they asked of him, saying, Lord,
wilti' thou at this time restore « again the
kingdom to Israel ?
7 And he said unto them, It« is not for
you to know the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in his own
power.
8 But ye shall receive ^ power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you :
and ye" shall be witnesses unto me, both
in Jerusalem, and in all Judsea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things,
while they beheld, he was taken up ; and
a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly
toward heaven, as he went up, behold,
two * men stood by them in white apparel ;
11 Which also said, Ye meny of Galilee,
why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
This same Jesus, which is taken up from
you into heaven, shall « so come in like
manner as 3'e have seen him go into
heaven.
12 Then* returned they unto Jerusalem
from the mount called Olivet, which is
from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they
went up into an upper room, where abode
both Peter,' and James, and John, and
Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholo-
mew, and Matthew, James the son of
Alphseus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas
the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord
in prayer and supplication, with the/
women, and Mary the mother of Jesus,
and with his brethren.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in
the midst of the disciples, and said, (the
number of names together were about
an hundred and twenty.)
16 Men and brethren, this scripture
must needs have been fulfilled, which*
the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David
spake before concerning Judas, which
was guide' to them that took Jesus.

17 For he " was numbered with us, and
had obtained part of this ministry.
18 Now* this man purchased a field
with the reward* of iniquity; and falling
headlong, he burst asunder in the midst,
and all his bowels gushed out.
19 And it was known unto all the dwell-
ers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field
is called in then* proper tongue, Acelda-
ma, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book of
Psalms, Let* his habitation be desolate,
and let no man dwell therein : and,* his
V bishopric let another take.
21 Wherefore of these men ' which have
companied with us all the time that the
Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John,
unto that same day that he was taken up
from us, must one be ordained to be a
witness with us of his resuri-ection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph
called Barsabas,"; who was surnamed
Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they praj^ed, and said, Thou,
Lord, which* knowest the hearts of aU
men^ shew whether of these two thou hast
chosen,
25 That he may take part of this mi-
nistry and apostieship, from which Judas
by transgression fell, that he might go to
his own place.
26 And they gave forth then- lots ; and
the lot fell upon Matthias ; and he was
numbered with the eleven apostles.
. CHAPTER 11.
ii-ND when the day of Pentecost" was
fully come, they"" were all with one ac-
cord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound
from heaven, as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled* all the house where
they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven
tongues, like as of fire, and it sat upon
each of them :
4 And they were all filled'' with the
Holy Ghost, and began <* to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusa-
lem, Jews, devout men, out of every
nation under heaven.
6 Now f when this was noised abroad,
the multitude came together, and were
1 confounded, because that every man
heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed, and mar-
velled, saying one to another. Behold, are
not all these which speak Galilaeans ? o
8 And how hear we every man in our
own tongue, wherein we were born ?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites,
and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and
in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus,
and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and PamphyHa, in Egypt,
and in the parts of Libya about Gyrene,
and strangers of Eome, Jews and pro-
selytes.

TJie effects It produced.
11 Cretes aud Arabians, we do hear
tliein speak in our tongues* the wonderful
works of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and
were in doubt, saying one to another,
What<^ meaneth this ?
13 Others, mpcking, said, These men
are fall of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the
eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto
them. Ye men of Judsea, and aU ye that
dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto
you, and hearken to my words :
15 For these are not drunken, as ye
suppose, seeing™ it is hut the third hour
of the day.
16 But this is that which was" spoken
by the prophet Joel :
17 Aid it shall come to pass in the last
days, saith Grod, I will pour out* of my
Spirit upon aU flesh: and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, and your
young men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams :
18 And on my servants and on my hand-
maidens I will pour out. in those days, of
my Spirit ; and*" they shall prophesy :
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven
above, and signs in the earth beneath;
blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke :
20 The' sun shall be turned into dark-
ness, and the moon into blood, before that
great and notable day of the Lord come :
21 And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever" shall call on the name of the
Lord, shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words ;_
Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of
Grod among you by miracles* and wonders
and signs, which God did. by him, in the
midst of you, as ye* yourselves also know :
23 Him, being" delivered by the de-
terminate counsel and foreknowledge of
^.Z>. 33.
God,
have taken, and'' by wicked
hands have crucified and slain :
24 Whom* God hath raised up, having
loosed the pains of death: because it was
not possible^ that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh* concerning
him, I foresaw the Lord always before
my face ; for he is on my right hand, that
I should not be moved :
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and
my tongue was glad; moreover also my
flesh shall rest in hope :
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul
in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine
Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the
ways of life; thou shalt make me full of
joy with thy countenance.
29 Men and brethren, vlet me freely
speak unto you of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried, and his
sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being"* a prophet, and
knowing that God had sworn" \yith an
oath" to him, that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh, he would raise up
Christ to sit on his throne ;
31 He, seeing this before,' spake of the
resurrection of Chi'ist, that his soul was
not left in hell, neither his flesh did see
corruption.
32 Tins'" Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof* we aU are witnesses.
33 Therefore,' being by the right hand
of God exalted, and having" received of
the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,

UT a certain man named Ananias,
with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back pa7't of the price, his wife
also being privy to it, and brought* a cer-
tain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said. Ananias, why hath
Satany filled thine heart ^to lie to* the
Holy Ghost, and to keep" back part of
the price of the land ?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine
own ? and after it was sold, was it not in
thine own power? Why nast thou con-
ceived this thing in thine heart? thou
hast not lied unto men, but unto" Grod.
3 And Ananias, hearing these words,*^ fell
down, and gave up the ghost : and great fear «
came on aU them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wounds' him
up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three
hours after, when his wife, not knowing
what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered imto her. Tell
me whether ye sold the land for so much ?
And she said. Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it
that ye have agreed^ together to tempt
the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet
of them which have buried thy husband
are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell^ she down straightway at
his feet, and yielded up the ghost : and
the young men came in, and found her
dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her
by her husband.
11 Andgreat*fearcameuponallthechurch,

12 And by the hands of the apostles
were many" signs and wonders wrought
among the people; (and they were all
with one accord in Solomon's porch.

self to them : but* the people magnified them.

14 And believers were the more added
to the Lord, multitudes* both of men
and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth
the sick ^into the streets, and laid them
on beds and couches, that at the least the
shadow of Peter passing by might over-
shadow some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of
the cities roimd about unto Jerusalem,
bringing sickfl' folks, and them which were
vexed with unclean spirits : and they *
were healed every one.
17 Then the high priest rose up, and
all they that were with him, (which is
the sect of the Sadducees,') and were
filled with y indignation,
18 And laid their hands on the apostles,
and put them in the common prison."
19 But the angel of the Lord by night
opened the prison doors, and brought
them forth, and said,
20 (3-0, stand and speak in the temple
to the people all'" the words* of this life.
21 And when they heard that, they en-
tered into the temple early in the morn-
ing, and taught. But" the high priest
came, and they that were with him, and
called the council together, and all the
senate of the children of Israel, and sent
to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, and found
them not in the prison, they returned and told,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we
shut with all safety, and the keepers stand-
ing without before the doors : but when
we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Now when the high priest and the *"
captain of the temple and the chief priests
heard these things, they doubted of them
whereunto this would grow.
25 Then came one and told them, say-
ing. Behold, the men whom ye put m
prison are standing in the temple, and
teaching the people,
26 Then went the captain with the offi-
cers, and brought them without violence :
for they* feared the people, lest they
shoidd have been stoned,
27 And when they had brought them,
they set them before the council : and the
high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we/ straitly com-
mand you, that ye should not teach in
this name ? and, behold, ye have filled Je-
rusalem with your doctrine, and intend
to bring this man's blood* upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles
answered and said, We» ought to obey
Grod rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Je-
sus, whom ye slew and hanged* on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted »» with his
right hand to be a Prince" and a Saviour,"
for to give repentance to Israel, and for-
giveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses' of these
things ; and so is also the Holy Ghost,!" whom
God hath given to them that obey him.
33 When they heard that, they* were cut
io the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
34 Then stood there up one in the coun-
cil, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel,'* a doc-
tor of the law, had in reputation among
all the people, and commanded to put the
apostles forth a little space ;
35 And said unto them. Ye men of Is-
rael, take heed to yourselves what ye in-
tend to do as touching these men.
Deacons chosen and ordamed.
THE ACTS, VII.
Stephen's Address.
36 For before these days P rose up Theu-
das, boasting himself to be somebody ; to
whom a number of men, about four hun-
dred, joined frhemselves : Avho was slain ;
and all, as many as ^obeyed him, were
scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man, rose up Judas of Ga-
lilee, in the days of the taxing, and drew
away much people after him: he** also
perished; and aU, even as many as obey-
ed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto j'ou. Refrain
from these men, and let them alone :/ for
if this counsel or this work be of men,
it wLU come to nought,
39 But if* it be of God, ye cannot over-
throw it; lest haply ye be found even to
fight* against God.
40 And to liim they agreed : and when they
had called the apostles, andbeaten'^^em.they
commanded™ that they should not speak
in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 And they departed from the pre-
sence of the council, rejoicing" that they
were counted worthy to suffer shame for
his name.
42 And daily P in the temple, and in
every house, they ceased not to teach
and preach Jesus Christ.
. CHAPTER VI.
-/VND in those days, when the number of
the disciples was multiplied, there arose
a murmuring of the Grecians* against the
Hebrews, because their widows were neg-
lected in^ the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude
of the disciples unto them, and said. It" is
not reason that we should leave the word
of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look^ ye out
among^ you seven men of' honest report,
full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, wnom
we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will* give ourselves continually
to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 Aiid the saying pleased the whole
multitude: and they chose Stephen, a
man fullf of faith and of the Holy Ghost,
and Philip,* and Prochorus, and Nicanor,
and Timon, and Parmeuas, and* Nicolas
a proselyte of Antioch :
6 Whom they set before the apostles;
and when' they had prayed, they™ laid
their hands on them.
7 And" the word of God increased ; and
the number of the disciples multiplied in
Jerusalem greatly; and a great cornpany
of the priests' were obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power,
did great wonders and miracles among
the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the sy-
nagogue, which is called the sj/nagogue of
the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alex-
andrians, and of them of Cilicia and of
Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 And they were not able* to resist the
wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned" men, which said.
We have heard him speak blasphemous
words against Moses, and against God.
12 And they stirred up the people, and
the elders, and the scribes, and came
upon him, and caught him, and brought
him to the council,
13 And set up false witnesses, which
said. This man ceaseth not to speak blas-
phemous words against this holy place,
and the law :

ing to his ability, determined to send" relief
unto the brethren which dwelt in Judsea :
30 Which also they did, and* sent it to
the elders by the hands of Barnabas and
Saul.
-Tyy CHAPTER XII.
JM OW about that time, Herod the king
P stretched forth his hands, to vex certain
of the church.
2 And he killed James'' the brother of
John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased'' the
Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter'
also. (Then were the days/ of unleavened
bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him,
he put him in prison, and dehvered him
to four quaternions of soldiers, to keep
him; intending after Easter to bring him
forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison :
but v prayer was made without ceasing of
the church unto God for him.
6 And when Herod would have brought
him forth, the same night Peter was
sleeping between two soldiers, bound
with two chains ; and the keepers before
the door kept the prison.
7 And, behold, the angel * of the^ Lord
came upon him, and a Light shined in the
prison ; and he smote Peter on the side, and
raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly.
And" his chains fell off from his hands.
8 And the angel said unto him. Gird
thyself, and bind on thy sandals : and so
he did. And he saith unto him. Cast thy
garment about thee, and foUow me.
9 And he went out, and followed him ;
and wist not^ that it was true which was
done by the angel ; but thought he saw a
vision.*
10 When they were past the first and the
second ward, they came unto the iron gate
that leadeth unto the city, which opened
to them of his own accord ; and they went
out, and passed on through one street ; and
forthwith the angel departed from him. _
11 And when Peter was come to him-
self, he said, Now I know of a surety,
that the Lord hath sent** his angel, and
hathy delivered me out of the hand of
Herod, and from aU the expectation of
the people of the Jews.
12 And when he had considered the thiiig,
he came to the house of Mary the mother
of John, whose surname was Mark; where
many* were gathered together, praymg.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door
of the gate, a damsel came ^to hearken,
named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she
opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in,
and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her. Thou art mad.
But she constantly affirmed that it was
even so. Then said they. It is his* angel.
16 But Peter continued knocking : and
when they had opened the door, and saw
him, they were astonished.
17 But he, beckoning' unto them with the
hand, to hold their peace, declared* unto
them how the Lord had brought him out of
the prison. And he said. Go, shew these
things unto James, and to the brethren. And
he departed, and went into another plac^
18 Now as soon as it was day,
was no smaU stir among the sole
what was become of Peter.

him, and found liini not, he examined tlie
keepers, and commanded that they should
be put to death. And he went down from
Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
20 And Herod ^was highly displeased
with them of Tyre and Sidon : but they came
with one accord to him, and, having made
Blastus ythe king's chamberlain, their
friend, desired peace ; because their <^ coun-
try was nourished by the king's country.
21 And upon a set day, Herod, arrayed
in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and
made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying,
It is* the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the
Lord smote him, because he gave not
God the glory : and he was eaten of
worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 But the word of God grew^ and
multiplied.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned
from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled
their ^ministry, and took with them John,
whose surname was Mark.
^j CHAPTER XIII.
JN O W there were in the church that was
at Antioch, certain prophets and teach-
ers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was
called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and
Manaen, »? which had been brought up
with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and
fasted, the Holy Ghost said. Separate* me
Barnabas and Saul for the work" where-
unto I have called them.
3 And when they had fasted and prayed,
and laid their hands on them, they sent
them away.
4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy
Ghost, departed unto Seleucia ; and from
thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they
preached the word of God in the syna-
gogues of the Jews: and they had also
John to their minister.
6 And when they had gone through the
isle unto Paphos, they found a certain
sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose
name teas Bar-jesus :
7 Which was with the deputy of the
country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man;
who called for Barnabas and Saul, and
desired to hear the word of God.
8 B ut Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name
by interpretation) withstood* them, seek-
ing to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,)filled
with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10 And said, O fuU of all subtilty and all
mischief, thou child of the devil, thou ene-
my of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease
to pervert the right ways of the Lord ?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the
Lord is upon thee, and thou slialt be blind,
not seeing the sun for a season. And im-
mediately there fell on him a mist and a
darkness ; and he went about seeking
some to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw what
was done, believed, being astonished at
the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Now when Paul and his company
loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga
in Pamphylia : and John departing'^ from
them^eturned to Jerusalem.
14 But when they departed from Perga,
they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and
went into the synagogue/ on the sabbath

thrust them into the inner prison, and
made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas
prayed,* and sang** praises umto God:
and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so/ that the foundations of
the prison were shaken: and immediate-
ly* all the doors were opened, and every
one's bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awak-
ing out of his sleep, and seeing^ the pri-
son doors open, he drew out bis sword,
and would have killed himself, suppos-
ing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But™ Paul cried with a loud voice,
saying. Do thyself" no harm; for we are
all here.
29 Then he called for a Hght. and sprang
in, and came trembling,' and fell down
before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said,
Sirs, whaf must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, BeHeve* on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy "house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of
the Lord, and to all^ that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of
the night, and washed their stripes; and
was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into
his house, he set meaty before them, and re-
joiced/ believing in God with all his house.
35 And when it was day, the magis-
trates sent the seijeants, saying, Let
those men go.
36 And the keeper of the prison told
this saying to Paul, The magistrates
have sent to let you go: now therefore
depart, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them. They have
beaten us openly uncondemned,* being
Romans, and have cast us into prison;
and now do they thrust us out privily?
nay, verily: but let them come them-
selves,* and fetch us out.
38 And the Serjeants told these words
imto the magistrates: and they feared,
when they heard that they were Eomans.
39 And they came and besought*' them,
and brought them out, and desired* them
to depart out of the city.
40 And they went out of the prison,
and entered into the house o/ Lydia:* and
when they had seen the brethren, they
comforted them, and departed.
^-r CHAPTER XVII.
JM OW when they had passed through
Amphipohs and Apolloma, they came
to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue
of the Jews :
2 And Paul, as his manner was,^ went
in unto them, and three sabbath days
reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3 Opening and aUedging, that Christ
musf needs have suffered, and risen
again from the dead; and that this Je-
sus, V whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
4 And some* of them believed, and"
consorted with Paul and Silas; and of
the devout Greeks a great multitude,
and of the chief women not a few.
5 But the Jews which believed not, moved
with envy, took unto them certain lewd
fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a
company, and set all the city on an uproar,
and assaulted the house of Jason,"' and
sought to bring them out to the people.
Paul at Athens:
THE ACTS, XVIII.
and at Corinth.
6 And when tliey found them not, they
drew Jason and certain brethren unto
the rulers of the city, crying, These * that
have turned the world upside down are
come hither also ;
7 Whom Jason hath received : and these
all do contrary* to the decrees of Csesar,
saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 And they troubled J' the people, and
the rulers of the citj', when they heard
these things,
9 And when they had taken security of
Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
10 And the brethren immediately sent
away' Paid and Silas by night unto Be-
rea: who coming thither, went into the
synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more"* noble than those
in Thessalonica, in that they received the
word with all readiness p of mind, and
searched the scriptures'" dail)% whether
those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed;
also of honourable women Avhich were
Grreeks, and of men, not a few.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica
had knowledge that the Avord of God was
preached of Paul at Berea, they came
thither also, and stirred up" the people.
14 And then immediately the brethren
sent away" Paul, to go as it were to the sea :
but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 And they that conducted Paul brought
him unto Athens : and receiving a com-
mandment unto Snas and Timotheus"'
for to come to him with all speed, they
departed.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at
Athens,* his spirit was stirred in him, when
he saw the city V wholly given to idolatry.
17 Therefore disputed he in the syna-
gogue with the Jews, and with the devout*
persons, and in the market daily with
them that met with him.
18 Then certain philosophers" of the
Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encoun-
tered him. And some said, What will
this 5 babbler say ? other some. He seem-
eth to be a setter forth of strange gods :
because he preached unto them Jesus,
and the resurrection.
19 And they took him, and brought him
unto f Areopagus, saying, May we know
what this new* doctrine, whereof thou
speakest, isl
20 For thou bringest certain* strange
things to our ears : we would know there-
fore what these things mean.
21 (For all the Athenians, and strangers
which were there, spent their time in no-
thing else, but either to tell, or to hear
some new thing.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of
^ Mara' Hill, and said. Ye men of Athens,
I perceive that in all things ye are too
superstitious.'
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your
^ devotions, I found an altar with this in-
scription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship,
him declare I unto you.
24 God" that made the world, and all
things therein, seeing that he is" Lord of
heaven and earth, dwellethP not in tem-
ples made with hands ;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's
hands, as though' he needed any thing,
seeing, he*" giveth to aU life, and breath,
and* all things ;

26 And hath made of one« blood all
nations of men, for to dwell on all the
face of the earth ; and hath determiaed tlie
times'; before appointed, and the bounds'^
of their liabitation ;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if
haply they might feel after him, and find
him, though/ he be not far from every
one of us :
28 For* in him we live, and move, and
have our being; as' certain also of your
ovvn poets have said. For we are also his
ofisprmg.
29 Forasmuch then as Ave are the oti-
sprmg of God, we ought not* to think that
the Godhead is like unto gold, or sdver,
or stone, graven by art and man's device.
,30 And the times of tliis ignorance God
Avmked" at; but now" commandeth all
men every where to repent :
31 Because he hath appointed' a day,
in the which he wiU judge the world in
righteousness, by that man whom he hath
ordained ; whereof he hath ^ given assur-
ance unto all men, in that he hath raised
him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resur-
rection of the dead," some mocked: and
others said. We will hear thee again* of
this matter.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him,
and believed : among the which loas Dio-
nysius the Areopagite, and a woman
named Damaris, and others Avith them.
i CHAPTER XVIII.
iLFTER these things, Paul departed
from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 And found a certain Jew named ^
AquUa, born in Pontus, lately come from
Italy, with his wife PrisciUa; (because that
Claudius had commanded aU Jews to de-
part from Rome ;) and came unto them.
3 And because he was of the same craft,
he abode with them, and* wrought : for by
their occupation they were tentmakers.
4 And he reasoned in the" synagogue
every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews
and the Greeks.
5 And Avhen Silas <^ and Timotheus were
come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed
in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that
Jesus "n loas Christ.
6 And when they opposed/ themselves,
and blasphemed, he shook «* 7iis raiment,
and said unto them, Your* blood be upon
your own heads : I am clean : from hence-
forth I will go imto the Gentiles.
7 And he departed thence, and entered
into a certain marCs house, named Justus,
one that worshipped God, whose house
joined hard to the synagogue.
8 And Crispus,* the chief ruler of the
synagogue, believed on the Lord with all
his house; and many of the Corinthians
hearing, beHeved, and were baptized.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the
night by a vision. Be not afraid, but
speak, and hold not thy peace :
10 For I"* am Avith thee, and no man
shall set on thee, to hurt thee : for I have
much people in this city.
11 And he m continued there a year
and six months, teaching the word of
God among them.
12 And when Gallic was the deputy
of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection
with one accord against Paul, and brought
him to the judgment seat,
45
Ministry ofApoUos.
13 iSayiBg, This felloio persuadeth meu
to worsliip G-od contrary to the law.
14 And Avhen Paul was now about to
open Ms mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews,
If it were a matter of wrong, or wicked
lewdness, O ye Jews,' reason would that
I should bear with you : „ , -,
15 But if it be a question of words and
names, and of your law,/ look ye to it;
for I wiU be no judge of such matters. ^
16 And he drave them from the judg-
ment seat.
17 Then all the Greeks took'" Sosthenes,
the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat
Mm before the judgment seat. And G-al-
lio cared for none of those things.
18 And Paul after tMs tarried there yet
a good while, and then took his leave oi
the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria,
and with him Priscilla and Aquila; hav-
ing shorn'" Ms head in Cenchrea :« for he
had a vow.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left
them there: but he himself entered into
the synagogue, and reasoned" with the
Jews.
20 "When they desired Mm to tarry longer
time with them, he consented not ;
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I
must bj^ all means keep this feast that
Cometh in Jerusalem:* but I will return
again unto you, ify God wiU. And he
sailed from Ephesus.
22 And wlien he had landed at Csesarea,
and gone up, and saluted the church, he
went down to Antioch.
23 And after he had spent some time
fhere^ he departed, and went over all the
country of Galatia'' and Phrygia in order,
strengthening * all the disciples.
24 And a certain Jew named'' Apollos,
born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and
mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man was instructed in the way
of the Lord; and being fervent* in the
spirit, he spake and taught diligently the
things of the Lord, kno\\ing/ only the
baptism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly in
the synagogue : Avhom when Aquila and
Priscilla had heard, they took him unto
them, and expounded unto him the way
of God more' perfectly.
27 And when he was disposed to pass
into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting
the disciples to receive him: who, when
he was come, helped' them much which
had believed"' through grace :
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews,
and that publichr, shewing by" the scrip-
tures that Jesus p was Christ.
. CHAPTER XIX.
JLND it came to pass, that, while Apol-
los' was at Corinth, Paul having passed
through the upper coasts, came to Ephe-
sus ; and finding certain disciples,
2 He said unto them, Have ye received
the Holy Q-host since ye believed? And
they said unto him. We have not* so
much as heard whether there be any
Holy Ghost.
3 And he said unto them. Unto what
then were ye baptized? And they said,
Unto" John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John'" verily baptized
with the baptism of repentance,* saying
unto the people, that they shoidd believe
on him which should come after him,
that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were bap-
tized in the name" of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid* his hands
upon them, the Holy Ghost came on
them;« and they spake with tongues,
and** prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and
spake boldly for the space of three months,
disputing, i' and persuading* the things
concerning the kingdom of God.
9 But when divers were hardened,' and
believed not, but spake evil* of that' way
before the multitude, he departed" from
them, and separated the disciples, disput-
ing daUy in the school of one Tvrannus.
10 And this continued by the space" of
two years ; so that aU they which dwelt
in Asia^ heard the word of the Lord
Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 And God wrought special' miracles
by the hands of Paul :
12 So that from his body were brought
unto the sick handkerchiefs' or aprons.
and the diseases departed from them, and
the evil spirits went out of them.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews,
exorcists, took upon them" to call over
them whicli had evil spirits the name of
the Lord Jesus, saying. We adjure •*• you
by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
14 Ajad there were seven sons of one
Sceva, a Jcav, and chief of the priests,
which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and
said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know;
but who are ye ?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit
was, leaped^ on them, and overcame tnem,
and prevailed against them, so that they
fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 And this was known to all the Jews
and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus ;
and fear'' fell on them all, and the name
of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 And many that believed came, and
confessed,!' and shewed their deeds.
19 Many of them also which used cu-
rious arts brought their books together,
and burned them before all men: and
they counted the price of them, and found
it fibfty thousand pieces of silver.
20 So mightily grew* the word of God,
and prevailed.
21 After* these things were ended, Paul
purposed in the spirit, when he had
passed through Macedonia and Achaia,
to go to Jerusalem, saying. After I have
been there, I must also see Bome."
22 So he sent into Macedonia two of
them that ministered unto him, Timothe-
us and Erastus iP but he himself stayed
in Asia for a season.
23 And the same time there arose no
small stir'" about that way.
24 For a certain man named Deme-
trius, a silversmith, which made silver
shrines for Diana, brought no small* gain
unto the craftsmen ;
25 Whom he called « together with the
workmen of like occupation, and said.
Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have
our wealth.
26 Moreover, ye see and hear, that not
alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout
all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and
turned away much people, saying thaty
they be no gods, which are made "with
hands ;
Twmult at I^iyhesus.
THE ACTS. XX.
Recovery of Eutyc
)
27 So tliat not only this our craft is in
danger to be set at nought; but also that
the temple of the great goddess Diana
should be despised/ and her magnificence
should be destroyed, whom all Asia and
the world* worshippeth.
28 And when they heard these sayings,
they were full of wrath/ and cried out,
saying, G-reat is Diana of the Ephesians !
29 And the whole city was filled with
confusion: and having caught Gains* and
Aristarchus,* men of Macedonia, Paul's
companions in travel, they rushed with
one accord into the theatre.
30 And when Paul would have entered
in unto the people, the disciples sufiered
him not.
31 And certain of the chief of Asia,
which were his friends, sent unto him,
desiring »» Mm that he would not adven-
ture himself into the theatre.
32 Some" therefore cried one thing, and
some another; for the assembly was con-
fused : and the more part knew not where-
fore they were come together.
33 And they drew Alexander out of
the multitude, the Jews putting him for-
ward. And Alexander P beckoned with
the hand, and would have made his de-
fence unto the people.
34 But when they knew that he was a
Jew, all with one voice, about the space
of two hours, cried out, Grreat is Diana
of the Ephesians !
35 And when the townclerk had appeased
the people, he said. Ye men? of Ephesus,
what man is there that knoweth not how
that the city of the Ephesians is ^a wor-
shipper of the great goddess Diana, and of
the image which fell down from Jupiter ?
36 Seeing then that these things cannot
be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet,
and to do* nothing rashly.
37 For ye have brought hither these men,
which are neither robbers'* of churches,
nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
38 AVherefore if Demetrius, and the
craftsmen which are with him, have a
matter against any man, ythe law is open,
and there are deputies : let them implead
one another.
39 But if ye inquire any thing concern-
ing other matters, it shall be determined
in a S lavpful assembly.
40 For we are in danger to be called
in question for this day's uproar, there
being no cause whereby we may give an
account of this concourse.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he
dismissed the assembly."^
* CHAPTER XX.
And after the uproar/ was ceased, Paul
called unto him the disciples, and em-
braced them, and departed for to go* into
Macedonia.
2 And when he had gone over those
parts, and had given them much* exhor-
tation, he came into Grreece,
3 And there abode three months. And
when the Jews laid waif* for him, as he
was about to sail into Syria, he purposed
to return through Macedonia.
4 And there accompanied him into
Asia, Sopater of Berea; and of the Thes-
salonians, Aristarchus' and Secundus ;
and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus ; •■
and of Asia, Tychicus* and Trophimus.*
5 These going before, tarried for us at
Troas.

6 And we sailed away from Philippi
after the days" of unleavened bread, and
came unto them to Troas* in five days;
where we abode seven days.
7 And upon the first*^ day of the week,
when the disciples came together to break
bread,/ Paul preached imto them, ready
to depart on the morrow; and continued
his speech until midnight.
8 And there were many lights in the
upper chamber,* where they were ga-
thered together.
9 And there sat in a window a certain
young man named Eutychus, being fallen
into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long
preaching, he sunk down Avith sleep, and
fell down from the third loft, and Avas
taken up dead.
10 And Paul went down, and fell' on
him, and embracing him, said " Trouble
not yourselves ; for his Hfe is in liim.
11 When he therefore was come up
again, and had broken bread, and eaten,
and talked a long while, even till break
of day, so he departed.
12 And they brought the young man
alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 And we went before to ship, and
sailed_ unto Assos, there intending to
take in Paul : for so had he appointed,
minding himself to go afoot.
14 And when he met with us at Assos,
we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 And we saUed thence, and came the
next day over against Chios ; and the next
day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at
TrogyUium; and the next day we came
to Miletus.
16 For Paul had determined to saU by
Ephesus, because he would not spend the
time in Asia; for he hasted, if it were
possible for him, to be at Jerusalem *■ the
day of Pentecost.*
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephe-
sus, and called the elders of the church.
18 And when they were come to him, he
said unto them. Ye know, from the first day
that I" came iato Asia, after what manner
I have been with you at aU seasons,
19 Serving the Lord with all humility'"
of mind, and with many tears,* and temp-
tations, y which befell me by the lying*
in wait of the Jews :
20 And how I« kept back nothing that
was profitable unto you, but have shewed
you, and have taught you publicly, and
from house* to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also
to the G-reeks, repentance'' toward God,
and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now, behold, I go bound* in the
spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing i' the
things that shall befall me there :
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witness-
eth in every city, saying that bonds* and
afflictions C abide me.
24 But none' of these things move me,
neither count I my life dear unto myself,
so that I might finish >» my course with
joy, and the ministry," which I have re-
ceived p of the Lord Jesus, to testify the
gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all,
among whom I have gone preaching the
kingdom of God, shaU see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day,
that I am pure* from the blood of aU men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare
unto you all the counsel" of God.

unto yom*-
selves, and to all the flock, over the which
the Holy Ghost hath made you'' over-
seers, to feed the church'^ of Grod, which
he hath purchased « with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my de-
parting shall griev9us wolves^ enter in
among you, not sparing* the flock.
30 Also of your* own selves shall men
arise, speaking perverse things, to draw
away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch,* and remember, that
by the space of three years I ceased not to
warn"* every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you
to God, and to the word of his grace,
which is able" to build you up, and to
give you an inheritance" among all them
which are sanctified.
33 I P have coveted no man's silver, or
gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves ^ know, that these
hands have ministered imto my necessi-
ties, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, how
that so labouring ye ought to support"
the weak, and to remember the words of
the Lord Jesus, how he said, It"" is more
blessed to give than to receive.
36 And when he had thus spoken, he
kneeledv down, and prayed with them all.
37 And they all wept sore, and fell*
on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
38 Sorrowing most of all for the words/*
which he spake, that they should see his
face no more. And they accompanied
him unto the ship.
. CHAPTER XXI.
And it came to pass, that after we
were gotten from them, and had launched,
we came with a straight course unto Coos,
and the day following 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 we had discovered C3'-
prus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed
into Syria, and landed at Tyre : for there
the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried
there seven days : who said/ to Paul
through the Spirit, that he should not
go up to Jerusalem.
5 And when we had accomplished those
days, we departed and went our way:
and they all brought us on our way, with
wives and children, till toe were out of the
city: and we kneeled* down on the shore,
and prayed.
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 our coiu'se
from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and
saluted the brethren, and abode with them
one day.
8 And the next dat/, Ave that were of
Paul's company departed, and came unto
Csesarea : and we entered into the house
of Philip" the evangelist," which was one
of the seven ; « and abode with him.

Holy Ghost, So shall* the Jews at Jeru-
salem bind the man that owneth this
girdle, and shall dehver Mm into the
hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things,
both we, and they of that place, besought^
him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered. What mean ye
to weep and to break mine heart ? for I am
ready.' not to be bound onl}^ but also to die
at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And when he would not be per-
suaded, we ceased, saying, The will' of
the Lord be done.
15 And after those days we took up our
carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also certain of
the disciples of Csesarea, and brought
with them one Mnason of Cj-prus, an old
disciple, 9 with whom we should lodge.
17 And when we were come to Jerusa-
lem, the brethren received us * gladly.
18 And the day following Paul went in
with us imto James ; ' and aU the elders
were present.
19 And when he had saluted them, he
declared particularly what things* God
had wrought among the Gentiles by his*
ministry.
20 And when they heard it, they glori-
fied the Lord ; and said unto him. Thou
seest, brother, how many thousands of
Jews there are which believe; and they
are all zealous * of the law :
21 And they are informed of thee, that
thou teachest all the Jews which are among
the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that
they ought not to cu'cumcise'^ their child-
ren, neither to walk after the customs.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude
must needs come together : ^ for they
will hear that thou art come.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee :
We have four men which have a vow on
them ;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with
them, and be at charges with them, that
they may shave ^ their heads : and all may
know, that those things, whereof they
were informed concerning thee, are no-
thing ; but that thou thyself also walkest
orderly, and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which be-
lieve, wei' have written, and concluded
that they observe no such thing, save only
that they keep themselves from things
ofiered to idols, and from blood, and
from strangled, and from fornication.
26 Then Paul took the men,i and the
next day purifying himself with them,
entered.' into the temple, to signify the
accomplishment* of the days of purifi-
cation, until that an offering should be
offered for every one of them.
27 And when the seven days were almost
ended, the Jews^ which were of Asia, when
they saw him in the temple, stirred up all
the people, and laid hands'" on him,
28 Cr}T.ng out. Men of Israel, help : this is
the man, that teacheth? aU men every where
against the people, and the law, and this place ;
and further, brought Greeks also into the
temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 (For they had seen before with
him, in the city, Trophimus* an Ephe-
sian, whom they supposed that Paul had
brought into the tem]ile.)
30 And aU the city was moved, and
the people ran together: and they took
Rescued from the Jews.

PauL and drew him out of the temple:
and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 And as they went about" to kill him,
tidings came unto the chief captain of the
band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar :
32 Who*' immediately took soldiers and
centurions, and ran down unto them : and
when they saw the chief captain and the
soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 Then the chief captain came near,
and took him, and commanded him to be
bound/ with two chains ; and demanded
who he was, and what he had done.
34 And some cried one tiling, some an-
other, among the multitude: and when
he could not know the certainty for the
tumult, he commanded him to be carried
into the castle.'
35 And when he came upon the stairs,
so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers,
for the violence" of the people.
36 For the multitude ot the people fol-
lowed after, crying, Away^ with him!
37 And as Paid was to be led into the
castle, he said unto the chief ^ captain,
May I speak unto thee ? Who said. Canst
thou speak Greek ?
38 Art not thou that P Egyptian, which
before these days madest an uproar, and
leddest out into the wilderness four thou-
sand men that were murderers ?
39 But Paul said, I" am a man toMch am
a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a*" citi-
zen of no mean city : and, I beseech thee,
suffer me to speak unto the people.
40 And when he had given him licence,
Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned y
with the hand unto the people. And when
there was made a great silence, he spake
unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
-, «- CHAPTER XXII.
IVLEN," brethren, and fathers, hear ye
my defence,* which I make now imto you.
2 (And when they heard that he spake
in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept
the more silence: and he saith,)
3 I am* verily a man ?«j^«cy^ am a Jew, born
in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up
in this city, at the feet of** Gamaliel, and
taught according/ to the perfect manner
of the law of the fathers, and wasi* zea-
lous toward God, as ye* all are this day.
4 And I persecuted*^ this way unto the
death, binding and delivering into prisons
both men and women.
5 As also the high priest doth bear me
witness, and all the estate of the elders :
from whom also I received letters unto
the brethren, and went to Damascus,* to
bring them which were there bound unto
Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my
journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus
about noon, suddenly there shone from
heaven a great light round about me.
7 And I fell unto the ground, and
heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou me ?
8 And I answered, Who art thou. Lord ?
And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Na-
zareth, whom thou persecutest.
9 And they that were with me saw"* in-
deed the light, and were afraid; but they
heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10 And I said. What shall I do, Lord?
And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and
go into Damascus ; and there it shall be
told thee of all things which are appoint-
ed for thee to do.

11 And when I could not see for the glory
of that light, being led by the hand of them
that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 And one Ananias,* a devout man
according to the law, having a good**
report of aU the Jews which dwelt there,
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said
unto me. Brother Saul, receive thy sight.
And the same hour I looked up upon
him.
14 And he said, The« God of our fathers
hath chosen^ thee, that thou shouldest
know his will, and see* that Just* One, and
shouldest hear the voice-' of his mouth.
15 For thou* shalt be his witness unto
aU men, of what thou hast seen and heard.
16 And now, why tarriest thou? arise,
and be baptized, and wash"* away thy
sins, calling » on the name of the Lord.
17 And it came to pass, that when I was
come again to Jerusalem, even while I
prayed in the temple, I was in a trance ;P
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make
haste, and get thee quickly out of Jeru-
salem: for they wiU not receive thy tes-
timony concerning me.
19 And I said, Lord, they* know that I
imprisoned and beat in every synagogue
them that believed on thee :
20 And when the blood of thy martyr
Stephen was shed, I* also was standing
by, and consenting" unto his death, and
kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21 And he said unto me. Depart : for* 1
will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22 And they gave him audience unto
this word, and then lifted up their voices,
and said. Away with such a^felloio from the
earth : for* it is not fit that he should live.
23 And as they cried out, and cast off
their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24 The chief captain commanded him
to be brought into the castle, and bade
that he should be examined by scourging :
that he might know wherefore they cried
so against him.
25 And as they bound him with thongs,
Paul said unto the centurion that stood
by. Is it lawful for you to scourge a man
that is a Roman,* and uucondemned ?
26 When the centurion heard that, he
went and told the chief captain, saying.
Take heed what thou doest: for this man
is a Roman.
27 Then the chief captain came, and
said unto him. Tell me, art thou a Ro-
man? He said. Yea.
28 And the chief captain answered,
With a great sum obtained I this freedom.
And Paid said. But I was/ree born.
29 Then straightway they departed from
him which should have 7 examined him:
and the chief captain also was afraid,
after he knew that he was a Roman, and
because he had bound him.
30 On the morrow, because' he would
have known the certainty wherefore he was
accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his
bands, and commanded the chief priests
and all their council to appear, and brought
Paul down, and set him before them.
. CHAPTER XXIII.
A.ND Paul, earnestly beholding the
council, said. Men and brethren, I" have
lived in aU good conscience before God
until this day.
2 And the high priest Ananias com-
manded them that stood by him to smito
him" on the mouth.
Conspiracy against Paul.
3 Then said Paul irnto liini, God shall
smite thee, thou whited wall : for sittest
thou to judge me after the law, and com-
mandest me to be smitten" contrary to
the law ? , , , . 1 -r.
4 And they that stood by said, Ee-
vilest thou God's high priest?
5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren,
that he was the high priest : for it is writ-
ten,* Thou shalt not speak evil of the ru-
ler of thy people. .-,,■, ^ ^t.
6 But when Paul perceived that the one
part were Saddueees, and the other Pha-
risees, he cried out in the council, Men
and brethren, I'^ am a Pharisee, the son of
a Pharisee : of <^ the hope and resurrection
of the dead I am called in question.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a
dissension between the Pharisees and the
Saddueees : and the multitude was divided.
8 For the Saddueees « say that there is
no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit:
but the Pharisees confess both.
9 And there arose a great cry : and the
scribes that loere of the Pharisees' part
arose, and strove, saying. We findi' no
evil in this man: but if a spirit* or an
angel hath spoken to him, let us not*
fight against God.
10 And when there arose a great dissen-
sion, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul
should have been pulled in pieces of them,
commanded the soldiers to go down, and
to take him by force from among them,
and to bring him into the castle.
11 And the night following, the Lord
stood P by him, and said. Be of good
cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified
of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear
witness also at Eome.'
12 And when it was day, certain*" of
the Jews banded together, and bound
themselves Sunder a curse, saying that
they would neither eat nor drink* till
they had killed Paul.
13 And they were more than forty
which had made this conspiracy.
14 And they came to the chief" priests
and elders, and said. We have bound our-
selves under a great curse, that we will
eat nothing imtil we have slain Paul.
15 Now therefore ye, with the council,
signify to the chief captain that he bring
hun down unto you to morrow, as though
ye would inquire something more per-
fectly concerning him: and we, or ever
he come near, are readyy to kill him.
16 A.nd when Paulas sister's son heard
of their lying in wait, he" went and en-
tered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 Then'' Paul called one of the cen-
turions unto Mm, and said. Bring this
j'oung man unto the chief captain ; for
he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18 So he took him, and brought him to
the chief captain, and said, Paul the pri-
soner* called me imto Am, and prayed
me to bring this young man unto thee,
who hath something to say unto thee.
19 Then the chief captain took him by
the hand, and went ^oith him aside pri-
vately, and asked him. What is that thou
hast to teU me ?
20 And he said. The Jews haves' agreed
to desire thee that thou wouldest bring
down Paul to morrow into the council
as though they would inquire somewhat
of him more perfectly.
21 But* do not thou yield unto them:

) taken up the
anchors, they committed themselves unto
the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and
hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and
made toward shore.
41 And falling into a place where two
seas met, they ran the ship aground ; and
the forepart stuck fast, and remained un-
moveable, but the hinder part was broken
with the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers' counsel* was to
kiU the prisoners, lest any of them should
swim out, and escape.
43 But the centurion, willing to save
Paul," kept them from their purpose ;
and commanded that they which could
swim should cast themselves first into the
sea, and get to land :
44 And the rest, some on boards, and
some on broken pieces of the ship. And
so« it came to pass, that they escaped all
safe to land.
Paul at Melita.
THE ACTS, XXVIII.
He preaches at Rome.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
JLnD when tliey were escaped, then
they knew that the island" was called
Melita. , -, ■,
2 And the barbarous * people shewed us
no little kindness : for they kindled a fire,
and received us<^ every one, because of the
present rain, and because of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered a bun-
dle of sticks, and laid them on the fir^
there came a viper out of the heat, and
fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the
venomous beast hang on his hand, they
said among themselves. No doubt* this
man is a murderer, whom, though he
hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance
suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast into the
fire, and felt^ no harm.
6 Howbeit, they looked when he should
have swollen, or fallen down dead sud-
denly: but after they had looked a great
while, and saw no harm come to him,
they changed their minds, and said"» that
he was a god.
7 In the same quarters were posses-
sions of the chief man of the island, whose
name was Publius ; who received us, and
lodged us three days courteously.
8 And it came to pass, that the father
of Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a
bloody flux: to whom*" Paul entered in,
and prayed, and laid* his hands on him,
and healed him,
9 So when this was done, others also,
which had diseases in the island, came,
and were healed :
10 "Who also honoured" us with many
honours ; and when we departed, they
laded ics with such things "^ as were ne-
cessary.
11 And after three months we departed
in a ship of Alexandria, which had win-
tered in the isle, whose sign was Castor
and Pollux.
12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried
there three days.
13 And from thence we fetched a com-
pass, and came to Rhegium : and after
one day the south wind blew, and we
came the next day to Puteoli ;
14 Where we found brethren, and were
desired to tarry with them seven days :
and so we went toward Rome.
15 And from thence, when the brethren
heard of us, they came^ to meet us as far
as Appii forum, and The three taverns;
whom when Paul saw, he thanked God,
and took courage.^
16 And when we came to Rome, the
centurion delivered the prisoners to the
captain of the guard: but Paul was suf-
fered to dwell by himself* with a soldier
that kept him.

17 And it came to pass, that after three
days Paul called the chief of the Jews to-
gether : and when they were come together,
he said unto them. Men and brethren,
though'' I have committed nothing against
the people, or customs of our fathers, yet
was I delivered* prisoner from Jerusalem
into the hands of the Romans :
18 Who, when/ they had examined me,
would have let me go, because there was
no cause of death in me.
19 But when the Jews spake against
it, 1 was constrained to appeal^ unto
Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse
my nation of.
20 For this cause therefore have I called
for you, to see j/oii, and to speak with yow ;
because that for the hope • of Israel I am
bound with tliis chain.*
21 And they said unto him. We neither
received letters out of Judaea concern-
ing thee, neither any of the brethren
that came shewed or spake any harm of
thee.
22 But we desire to hear of thee what
thou thinkest : for as concerning this sect,
we know that every where" it is spoken
against.
23 And when they had appoLnted him
a day, there came many to him into his
lodging;" to whom he expounded^ and
testified the kingdom of Grod, persuading
them concerning Jesus, both^ out of the
law of Moses, and out of the prophets,
from morning till e\«ening.
24 And some* believed the things which
were spoken, and some believed not.
25 And when they agreed not among
themselves, they departed, after that Paul
had spoken one word. Well spake the
Holy G-host by Esaias" the prophet unto
our fathers,
26 Saying, Go unto this people, and
say. Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not
understand; and seeing ye shall see, and
not perceive :
27 For the heart of this people is waxed
gross, and their ears are duU of hearing,
and their eyes have they closed ; lest they
should see with their eyes, and hear with
their ears, and understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I
should heal them.
28 Be it known therefore unto you, that
the salvation of God is sent unto the
Gentiles,* and that they will hear it.
29 And when he had said these words,
the Jews departed, and had great reason-
ing among themselves.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in
his own hired house, and received aU that
came in unto him,

and teaching those things which concern
the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence,
no man forbidding him.
The Epistle of PAUL the Apostle to the ROMANS,
-rj CHAPTER I.
irATJL, a servant of Jesus Christ,"
called* to he an apostle, separated'' unto
the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his
prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our
Lord, which was made/ of the seed of
David according to the flesh ;
4 And ^ declared* to he the Son of God
with power, according to the Spirit' of ho-
liness, by the resurrection from the dead :
5 By whom we have received grace and
apostleship, yfor obedience' to the faith
among all nations, for his name :
6 Among whom are ye also the called
of Jesus Christ :
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of
God, called" to he saints : Grace" to you,
and peace, from God our Father, and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus
Christ for you all, that your faith 9 is
spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 For God is my witness, whom** I serve
ewith my spirit in the gospel of liis Son,
that without ceasing* I make mention of
you always in my prayers :
10 Making request, if by any means
now at length I might have a prosperous
journey by the will' of God to come unto
you.
11 For I« long to see you, that I" may
impart unto you some spiritual gift, to
the end ye may be established ;
' 12 That is, that I may be comforted to-
gether «with you by the mutual"" faith
both of you and me.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant,
brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to
come unto you, (but was let hitherto,)
that I might have some fruit « among you
also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 I am debtor* both to the Greeks, and
to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and
to the unwise.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready
to preach the gospel to you that are at
Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed^ of the gospel
of Christ : for it is the power* of God unto
salvation, to every one that believeth ; * to
the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein <* is the righteousness of
God revealed from faith to faith : as it is
written,* The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath/ of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold the
truth in unrighteousness ;
19 Because that which may be known
of God is manifest i^in them; for God*
liath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from
the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things "' that are
made, even his eternal power and God-
head ; V go that they are without excuse.

21 Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified Mm not as God, neither
were thankful ; but became vain« in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was
darkened :
22 Professing themselves to be wise,
they* became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the un-
corruptible God into an images' made like
to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-
footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them* up
to uncleanness through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonour their own bo-
dies between themselves :
25 Who changed the truth of God"* in-
to a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature 5 more than the Creator, who is
blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up
unto vile affections -.p for even their wo-
men did change the natural use into that
which is against nature :
27 And hkevsrise also the men, leaving
the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with
men working that which is unseemly, and
receiving in themselves that recompence
of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like 6 to re-
tain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to ^a reprobate mind, to do
those things which are not convenient ;
29 Bein^ filled with all unrighteous-
ness, fornication, wickedness, covetous-
ness, maliciousness ; full of envy, murder,
debate, deceit, malignity ; whisperers, _
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despite-
ful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant
breakers, "without natural affection, im-
placable, unmerciful : ^ ^ ,
32 Who knowing the judgment ot God,
that they which commit such thmgs are
worthy of death, not only do the same,
but -^have pleasure in them that do them.
^ CHAPTER II.
Therefore thou art mexcusable,
O man, whosoever thou art that judgest :
for wherein* thou judgest another, thou
condemnest thyself;, for thou that judg-
est doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment ot
God is according to truth, against them
which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that
judgest them which do such things, and
doest the same, that thou shalt escape the
judgment of God ?
4 Or despisest thou the. riches f ot his
goodness and forbearance* and longsuf-
fering:* not knowing that the goodness
of God leadeth' thee to repentance ?
5 But, after thy hardness and impenitent
heart, treasurest" up unto thyself wrath,
against the day of wrath, and revelation"
of the righteous judgment of God ;
The equity of God.
ROMANS, III.
Depravity of Jeios and Gentiles.
6 Who" will render to every man ac-
cording to his deeds :
7 To them who, by patient continuance
in well doing, seek for glory and honour
and immortahty, eternal life :
8 But unto them that are contentious,"
and do ^ not obey the truth, but obey un-
righteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every
soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew
first, and also of the ^ Grentile ;
10 But glory,*' honour, and peace, to
every man that worketh good, to the Jew
first, and also to the ^ Grentile :
11 For* thei'e is no respect of persons
with G-od.
12 For as many as have sinned without
law, shaU also perish without law : and
as many as have sinned in the law, shall
be judged by the law ;
13 (For* not the hearers of the law are
just before God, but the doers of the law
shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have
not the law, do by nature the things con-
tained in the law, these, having not the
law, are a law"* unto themselves :
15 Wliich shew the work of the law
written in their hearts, 7 their conscience
also bearing witness, and their thoughts
f the mean while accusing, or else excus-
ing, one another ;)
16 In the day when God shall judge
the secrets" of men, by Jesus Christ, ac-
cording to my gospel.^
17 Behold, thou? art called a Jew, and rest-
est in the law, and makest thy boast of G-od,
18 And knowesf his will, and lap-
pro vest* the things that are more excel-
lent, being instructed out of the law ;
19 And art confident that thou thyself
art a guide of the blind, a light of them
which are in darkness,
20 A.n instructor of the foolish, a teacher
of babes, which hast the form* of know-
ledge and of the truth in the law :
21 Thouy therefore which teachest ano-
ther, teachest thou not thyself? thou that
preachest a man should not steal, dost
thou steal ?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not
commit adultery, dost thou commit adul-
tery ? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou
commit sacrilege ?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the
law, through breaking the law, dishonour-
est thou God ?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed
among the Gentiles through you, as it is
written. «
23 For circumcision verily profiteth, if
thou keep the law : but « if thou be a
breaker of the law, thy circumcision is
made uncircumeision.
26 Therefore ifs' the uncircumeision
keep the righteousness of the law, shall
not his uncircumeision be counted for
circumcision?
27 And shall not imcircumcision which
is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge'
thee, who by the letter and circumcision
dost transgress the law ?
28 For he* is not a Jew, which is one
outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh :
29 But he is a Jew^ which is one in-
wardly; and circumcision is that of the
heart,™ in the spirit, and not in the letter ;
whose praise" is not of men, but of God.

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love
one another: for he* that loveth another
hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this. Thou* shalt not commit adul-
tery. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not
steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Thou shalt not covet ; and if there be any
other commandment, it is briefly compre-
hended in this saying, namely, Thou^
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no HI to his neighbom- :
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that
now it is high time to awake '^ out of
sleep: for now is our salvation nearer
than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at
hand: let us" therefore cast off the works
of darkness, and let us put* on the ar-
mour of light.
13 Let us walk ^ honestly,' as in the
day; not in rioting'" and drunkenness,
not in chambering* and wantonness, not
in strife and envying.
14 But put* ye on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and make" not provision for the
flesh, to /mZ/?Z the lusts thereof.
-rj- CHAPTER XIV.
JuLlM that is weak in the faith receive
ye, but V not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all
things : another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him
that eateth not; and let not him which
eateth not judge him that eateth : for God
hath received him.
4 Who* art thou that judgest another
man's servant ? to his own master he stand-
eth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up :
for God" is able to make him stand.
5 One man* esteemeth one day above
another : another esteemeth every day
alike. Let every man be fuEy « persuaded
in his own mind.
6 He that ^regardeth the day, regard-
eth it imto the Lord ; and he that regard-
eth not the day, to the Lord he doth not
regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the
Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he
that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not,
and giveth God thanks.
7 For none"* of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the
Lordj and whether we die, we die unto
the Lord: whether we live therefore, or
die, we are the Lord's.
9 For* to this end Christ both died, and
rose, and revived, that he might be Lord
both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy bro-
ther? or why dost thou set at nought thy
brother? for we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is wTitten,' As I live, saith the
Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give
account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one ano-
ther any more : but judge this rather, that
no man put a stumblingblock or an occa-
sion to fall in his brother's way.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the
Lord Jesus, that there is nothing ''unclean
of itself: but to him that esteemeth any
thing to be "unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brotner be grieved with thi/
I meat, now walkest thou not ^ charitably.
Variotis duties enjoined.
EOMANS, XVI.
The Apostle's labours.
Destroy" not him with thy meat, for
whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil
spoken of:
17 Eor*^ the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink ; but righteousness/ and
peace^ and joy' in the Holy G-host.
18 For he that in these things serveth
Christ is acceptable to God, and approved
of men.
19 Let^ us therefore follow after the
things which make for peace, and things"
wherewith one may edify another.
20 For meat destroy not the work of God.
All things indeed are pure ;/ but it is^ evil
for that man who eateth with offence.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to
drink wine, nor ant/ thing whereby thy
brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is
made weak.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyseK
before God. Happy* is he that condemn-
eth not himself in that thing which he
aUoweth.
23 And he that ^doubteth is danmed
if he eat, because he eateth not of faith :
for whatsoever" is not of faith is sin.
^j CHAPTER XV.
W E then that are strong ought to"" bear
the infirmities of the weak, and not to
please om'selves.
2 Let every one of us please his neigh-
boury for his good to edification,
3 For even Christ" pleased not himself;
but, as it is written,^ The reproaches of
them that reproached thee feU on me.
4 For whatsoever'* things were written
aforetime were -written for om' learning,
that we through patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope,
5 Now the God of patience and consola-
tion grant you to be likeminded^ one to-
ward another, v according to Christ Jesus ;
6 That ye may with ones' mind and one
mouth glorify God, even the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
7 Wherefore receive ye one another,
as Christ also received* us, to the glory
of God.
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a
minister of the circumcision for the truth
of God, to confirm^ the promises made
unto the fathers ;
9 And that the Gentiles iijight glorify
God for his mercy; as it is written," For
this cause I will confess to thee among
the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10 And again he saith,' Eejoice, ye
Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again,'' Praise the Lord, aU ye
Gentiles ; and laud him, aU ye people.
12 And again, Esaias saith » There shall
be a root** of Jesse, and he that shall rise
to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall
the Gentdes trust.
13 Now the God of hope fiU you with
aU" joy and peace in believing, that ye
may abound in hope, through the power
of the Holy Ghost.
14 And I myself also am persuaded* of
you, my brethren, that ye also are fuU of
goodness, filled with aU knowledge, y
able also to admonish one another.
15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have writ-
ten the more boldly imto you in some
sort, as putting you in mind, because" of
the grace that is given to me of God,
16 That I should be the minister of
Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering

the gospel of God, that the Coffering* up
of the GentUes might be acceptable, be-
ing sanctified*^ by the Holy Ghost,
17 I have therefore whereof I may
glory* through Jesus Christ in those
things'^ which pertain to God,
18 For I will not dare to speak of any
of those things which Christ hath not
wrought by me, to make* the Gentiles
obedient, by word and deed,
19 Through mighty signs'" and wonders,
by the power of the Spirit of God ; so that
from Jerusalem, and round about imto
nijTicum, I" have fully preached the gos-
pel of Christ,
20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the
gospel, not where Chi-ist was named, »"
lest I should buUd upon another man's
foimdation :
21 But, as it is written,* To whom he was
not spoken of, they shall see ; and they
that have not heard shall understand.
22 For which cause also I have been
■y much hindered" from coming to you.
23 But now having no more place in
these parts, and having a great desire
these many years to come xmto you ;
24 Whensoever I take my journey into
Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to
see you in my journey, and to be* brought
on my way thitherward by you, if first I
be somewhat filled f with your company.
25 But now I go * xmto Jerusalem to
minister xmto the saints.
26 For it hath pleased them of Mace-
donia" and Achaia to make a certain
contribution for the poor saints which
are at Jerusalem.
27 It hath pleased them, verily ; and
their debtors they are. For if the Gen-
tUes have been made partakers of their
spiritual things, then* duty/ is also to
minister unto them in carnal things.
28 When, therefore, I have performed
this, and have sealed to them this fruit,'*
I will come by you into Spain.
29 And I am sure that, when' I come
unto you, I shall come in the fulness of
the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for
the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for
the'" love of the Spirit, that ye strive"
together with me in your prayers to God
for me ;
31 Thati* I may be dehvered from them
that ^do not believe in Judaea; and that
my service which I have for Jerusalem
may be accepted of the saints ;
32 That I may come unto you with
joy by the wiU of God, and may with
you be refreshed,
33 Now the God of peace < be with you
all. Amen.

The First Epistle of PAUL the Apostle to the
CORINTHIANS.
-r, CHAPTER I.
Jl AXIL, called" to he an apostle of Jesus
Christ through the will of Grod, and Sos-
thenes'^ onr brother,
2 Unto the church of God which is at
Corinth," to them/ that are sanctified*' in
Christ Jesus, called* to be saints, with all
that in everj^ place call' upon the name
of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and
our's :
3 Grace ^ he unto you, and peace, from
God our Father, ana from the Lord Jesus
Christ.
4 I thank*" my God always on your be-
half, for the grace of God which is given
you by Jesus Christ ;
5 That in every thing ye are enriched
by him, in all utterance,^ and in all
knowledge ;
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was
confirmed in you :
7 So that 3'e come behind in no gift;
waiting' for the ^coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ :
8 Who shall also confirm'' j'ou unto the
end, that ye may he blameless in the day
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 God is faithful, by whom ye were
called unto the fellowship" of his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye^
all speak the same thing, and that there
be no V divisions among you ; but tTiat ye
be perfectly joined together in the same
mind, and in the same judgment.
11 For it hath been declared unto me
of you, my brethren, by them it:ihich are
of the house of Chloe, that there are con-
tentions among you.
12 Now this I say, that every one of
vou saith, I am of Paul ; and I of Apol-
los ;^ and I of Cephas ;« and I of Christ.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul cruci-
fied for you ? or were ye baptized in the
name of Paid ?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of
you but Crispus* and Gains ;*
15 Lest any should say that I had bap-
tized in mine own name.
16 And I baptized also the household
of Stephanas:* besides, I know not whe-
ther I baptized any other.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize,
but to preach the gospel: not with wis-
dom» of "n words, lest the cross of Christ
should be made oi none efiect.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to
them^ that perish fooHshness ; but unto us
which are saved it is the power ' of God.
19 For it is written,* I will destroy the
wisdom of the wise, and will bring to no-
thing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where"* is the wise? where is the
scribe? where is the disputer of this
world? hath not God made foolish" the
vnsdom of this world ?
21 For after* that in the wisdom of
God, the world by wisdom knew not
God, it pleased God by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believe.

22 For the Jews require a sign,* and
the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto
the Jews a stumblingblock, '^ and unto
the Greeks foolishness ;
24 But unto them which are called,
both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power «
of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than men; and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren,
how that not many" wise men after the
flesh, not many mightj^ not many noble,
are called :
27 But God" hath chosen the foolish
things of the world, to confound the
wise; and God hath chosen the weak
things of the world, to confound tho
things which are mighty ;
28 And base things of the world, and
things which are despised, hath God cho-
sen, yea, and things which are not, to
bring to nought things that are ;
29 That no flesh* should glory in his
presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, '
who of God is made unto us wisdom,^
and righteousness,'" and sanctification, *
and redemption : v
31 That, according as it is written.
He" that glorieth, let him glory in the
Lord.
. CHAPTER IL
AU'D I, brethren, when I came to you,
came not* with excellency of speech or
of wisdom, declaring unto you the testi-
mony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any
thing among you, save Jesus Christ,* and
him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness,
and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preachmg
toas not with ^ enticing words of man's/
wisdom, but in demonstration £' of the
Spirit and of power: ,
5 That your faith should not 6 stand m
the wisdom of men, but in the power of
God. , . ^
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among
themHhat are perfect: yet not the wis-
dom of this world, nor of the princes of
this world, that come to nought:'" ^ _
7 But we speak the wisdom" of God m
a mystery, even the hidden" toisdom, which
God ordained before the world unto our
glory :
8 Which none of the princes of this
world knew : for had** they known it, they
would not have crucified the Lord of
glory.
9 But, as it is written. Eye* hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man, the tluDgs which God
hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God*" hath revealed them unto
us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
all thiags, yea, the deep v things of God.
11 For what man* knoweth the things of
a man, save the spirit of man which is in
117
The spiritual foimdation.
him? even so« tlie things of God knoweth
no man, but the Spirit of G-od.
12 Now we have received, not <^ tne spi-
rit of the world, but the Spirit which is
of God ; that we« might know the things
that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not/ in
the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth ; com-
paring spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth* not the
things of the Spirit of God : for they are fool-
ishness unto him : neither can he know tJiem^
because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he' that is spiritual ^judgeth all
things, yet he himself is V judged of no man.
16 For who™ hath known the mind of
the Lord, that he ^may instruct him?
But we have" the mind of Christ.
. CHAPTER III.
A "N'T) I, brethren, could not speak unto
you as^ unto spiritual, but as xmto carnal,
even as unto babes'" in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not
with meat : for hitherto* ye were not able
to hear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas"
there is among you envying, and strife,
and >? divisions, are ye not carnal, and
walk Gasmen?
4 For while one saith, I* am of Paul ; and
another, I am of Apollos ; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paid, and who is Apol-
los, but ministers by whom ye believed,
even* as the Lord gave to every man ?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered;
but God' gave the increase.
7 So then neither" is he that planteth
any thing, neither he that watereth; but
God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that water-
eth are one : and every man'' shall receive his
own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together "^ with
God: ye are God's /* husbandry, ye are
God's building./
10 AccordingS' to the grace of God which
is given unto me, as a wise masterbmlder,
I have laid the foundation, and another
buildeth thereon. But let every man take
heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid, » which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this
foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble ;
13 Every man's work shall be made
manifest : for the day shall declare it,
because it t shall be revealed by fire ;
and the fire' shall try every man's work
ofwhatsortitis.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath
built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned,
he shall suffer loss : but he himself shall
be saved ; yet so" as by fire.
16 Know ye not that ye^ are the tem-
ple of God, and tJiat the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you ?
17 If any man '^(Jefile the temple of
God, him shall God destroy ; for the tem-
ple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If?
any man among you seemeth to be wise
in this world, let him become a fool, that
he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is fool-
ishness with God: for it is written. He*
taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

with another. Wliy do ye not rather
take'' wrong? why do ye not rather suf-
fer yov/rselves to be defrauded ?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and'' defraud,
and that yoxir brethren.
9 Know ^ ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither/ fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effemi-
nate, _ nor abusers of themselves with
mankind,
10 Nor tliieves, nor covetous, nor drunk-
ards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such' were some of you : but ye
are washed,' but ye are sanctified,™ but
ye are justified" in the name of the Lord
Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God,
12 All things are lawful unto me, but
aU things are not V expedient : all tilings
are lawful for me, but I will not be
brought under the power « of any.
13 Meats'- for the belly, and the belly
for meats: but God shall destroy both it
and them. Now the body is not for' for-
nication, but for the Lord;'^' and the Lord**
for the body. *
1 4 And God* hath both raised up the Lord,
and wiU also raise up us by liis own power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are
the members" of Christ? shall I then take
the members of Christ, and make them
the members of an harlot ? God forbid !
16 What! know ye not that he which
is joined to an harlot is one body? for
two,'' saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord
is one/ spirit.
18 Flees' fornication. Every sin that
a man doeth is without the body; but
he _ that _ committeth fornication simieth
against his own body.
19 What! know ye not that your' body
is the temple of the Holy Ghost tvhich is
in 3'ou, which ye have of God, and j'-e
are not* your own ?
20 For ye are bought"* with a price:
therefore glorify" God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God's.
^y CHAPTER YII.
JM OW concerning the things whereof
ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man
not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication,
let every man have his own wife, and let
every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the 5 husband render unto the
wife due benevolence: and likewise also
the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own
body, but the husband: and Hkewise
also the husband hath not power of his
own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except
it 5e» with consent for a time, that ye may
give yourselves to fasting and prayer;
and come together again, that' Satan
tempt you not for your incontinency.
6 But I speak this by permission, and
not of commandment.
7 For I would that all men were even
as I myself. But" every man hath lus
proper gift of God, one after this manner,
and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and
^vidows, It is good for them if they abide
even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let" them
marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Inmolability of the marriage bond. 1 COEINTH. VIII. Of eating meats offered to idols.
10 And unto the married I command,
yet not I, but the Lord, Let" not the wife
depart from her husband.
11 But and if she depart, let her re-
main unmarried, or be reconciled to her
husband: and let not the husband put
away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not* the Lord:
If any brother hath a wife that beheveth
not, and she be pleased to dwell with him,
let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an hus-
band that believeth not, and if he be pleas-
ed to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the imbelieving husband is sanc-
tified by the wife, and the unbelieving
wife is sanctified by the husband: else
were your children unclean; but now<^
are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him
depart. A brother or a sister is not under
bondage in such cases: but GTod hath
called* us ^ to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife,
whether thou shalt save/ thy husband?
or Show knowest thou, O man, whether
thou shalt save thy wife ? '
17 But as God hath distributed to every
man, as* the Lord hath called every one,
so let Him walk. And* so ordain I in all
churches.
18 Is any man called being circumcised ?
let him not become imcircumcised. Is
any called in uncircumcision?"* let him
not be circumcised.
19 CircumcisionP is nothing, and un-
circumcision is nothing, but the keeping'"
of the commandments of G-od.
20 Let every man abide* in the same
calling wherein he was called.
21 Art thou called being a servant?
care* not for it: but if thou mayest be
made free, use it rather.
22 For he that is called in the Lord,
being a servant, is^ the Lord's ^freeman:
likewise also he that is called, being free,
is" Christ's servant.
23 Ye are bought* with a price; be not
ye the servants of men.
24 Brethren, let<* every man, wherein
he is called, therein abide with God.
25 Now concerning virgins I have no
commandment^ of the Lord: yet I give
my judgment, as one that hath obtained
mercy of the Lord to be faitliful.*
26 I suppose therefore that this is good
for the present ^distress ; Isay^ that* it is
good for a man so to be.
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek
not^ to be loosed. Art thou loosed from
a wife ? seek not a wife.
28 But and if thou marry, thou"* hast not
sinned ; and if a virgin marry, she hath not
sinned. Nevertheless such shall have
trouble in the flesh : but I spare you.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time" is
short : it remaineth, that both they that
have wives be as though they had none ;
30 And they that weep, as though they
wept not ; and they that rejoice, as though
they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as
though they possessed not ;
31 And they that use this world, as not
abusing it : for the fashion? of this world
passeth away.
32 But I would have you without care-
fulness. He that is unmarried'' careth
for the things Pthat belong to the Lord,
how he may please the Lord :

33 But he that is married careth for the
tilings that are of the world, how he may
please his wife.
34 There is difference also between a
wife and a virgin. The unmarried wo-
man careth for the things of the Lord,
that she may be holy both in body and ia
spirit: but she that is married^ careth
for the things of the world, how she may
please her husband.
35 And this I speak for your own profit ;
not that I may cast a snare upon you, but
for that which is comely, and that ye may
attend upon the Lord without distraction.
36 But if any man think that he be-
haveth himself uncomely toward his vir-
gin, if she pass the flower of her age, and
need so require, let him do what he will,
he sinneth not : let them marry.
37 Nevertheless he that standeth sted-
fast in his heart, having no necessity, but
hath power over his own wiU, and hath
so decreed in his heart that he will keep
his virgin, doeth weU.
^ 38 So then,^ he that giveth her in mar-
riage doeth well; but he that giveth her
not in marriage d.oeth better.
39 The wife* is bound by the law as
long as her husband liveth: but if her
husband be dead, she is at liberty to be
married to whom she wiU; only^ in the
Lord.
40 But she is happier if she so abide,
after" my judgment: and I think" also
that I have the Spirit of God.
^y CHAPTER VIIL
JM OW as touching things offered? unto
idols, we know that we all have know-
ledge.* Knowledge" puffeth up, but cha-
rity* edifieth.
2 And if"' any man think that he know-
eth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as
he ought to know.
3 But if any man love God, the same is
known* of him.
4 As concerning therefore the eating of
those things that are offered in sacrifice
unto idols, we know that an idol* is no-
thing in the world, and that there is none
other* God but one.
5 For though there be that are/ called
gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as
there be gods many and lords many,)
6 But to us* there is but one God, the
Father, of whom are all things, and we
"n'm. him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom' are all things, and we by him.
7 Howbeit there is not in every man that
knowledge: for some, with conscience of
the idol unto this hour, eat it as a thing
offered imto an idol; and their conscience
being weak is defiled.
8 But meat" commendeth us not to
God : for neither, if we eat, " are we the
better ; neither, it we eat not, ^ are we the
worse.
9 But take heed, lest by any means this
^libertyP of your's become a stumbling-
block to them that are weak.
10 For if any man see thee which hast
knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple,
shaU not the conscience of him which is
weak be ^^ emboldened to eat those things
which are offered to idols ;
11 And through thy knowledge shall the
weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 But* when ye sin so against the bre-
thren, and wound their weak conscience,
ye sin against Christ.
Rights of a Christian minister.
13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother
to offend, I will eat no flesh while the
world standeth, lesf^ I make my brother
to offend.
. CHAPTER IX.
Am. I not an apostle? am I not free?
have I not seen* Jesus Christ our Lord ?
are not ye my work/ in the Lord ?
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet
doubtless I am to you: for the seal of
mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3 Mme_ answer to them that do exa-
mine me is this ;
4 Hare we not power to eat and to
drink?
5 Have we not power to lead about a
sister, a ^wife, as well as other anostles,
anda5 the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not
we* power to forbear working ?
7 Who goeth a warfare* any time at
his own charges ? who planteth™ a vine-
yard, and eateth not of the fruit there-
of? or who^ feedeth" a flock, and eatetli
not of the mUk of the flock ?
8 Say I these things as a man ? or saith
not the law the same also ?
9 For it is written"" in the law of Mo-
ses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of
the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth
Grod take care for oxen ?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our
sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is
written: that he* that ploweth should
plow in hope : and that he that thresheth
m hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If" we have sown unto you spi-
ritual things, is it a great thiiag if we
shall reap your carnal things ?
12 If others be partakers of this power
over you, are not we rather? Neverthe-
lessy we have not used this power; but
suffer all things, lest we should hinder
the gospel of Christ.
13 Do ye not know, that they which mi-
nister about holy things f live of the things
of the temple? and they which wait at
the altar are partakers with the altar ?
14 Even so hath the Lord* ordained,
that theyi" which preach the gospel
should live of the gospel.
15 But I* have used none of these
things : neither have I written these things,
that it should be so done unto me : for' it
loere better for me to die, than that any
man should make my glorying void.
16 For though I preach the gospel, I
have _ nothing to glory of: for' necessity
is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if
I preach not the gospel !
17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have
a reward : but if against my wiU, a dispen-
sation " of the gospel is committed unto me.
18 What is my reward then? Verily
that, when I preach the gospel, I may
make the gospel of Christ without charge,
that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19 For though I be free from all men^
yet have I made myself servant' unto
all, that I might gain the more,
20 And unto the Jews'" I became as a
Jew, that I might gain the Jews ; to
them that are imder the law, as under
the law, that I might gain them that are
under the law ;
21 To them that are without law, as
without law, (being not" without law to
G-od, but under the law to Christ,) that I
might gain them that are without law.

even so is the man also by the woman:
but all« things of Grod.
13 Judge in yourselves : is it comely
that a woman pray unto God imcovered ?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach
you, that if a man have long hair, it is
a shame unto him ?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it
is a glory to her: for her hair is given
her for a p covering.
16 But« if any man seem to be con-
tentious, we have no such custom, nei-
ther the churches of Grod.
17 Now in this that I declare imto you^
I praise you not, that ye come together,
not for the better, but for the worse.
18 For first of all, when ye come toge-
ther in the church, I hear' that there be di-
visions V among you ; and I partly beheve it.
19 For there must' be also ^ heresies
among you, that'" they which are ap-
proved may be made manifest among you.
20 When ye come together therefore
into one place, ^this is not to eat the
Lord's supper.
21 For in eating, every one taketh be-
fore other his own supper : and one is
hungry, and^' another is drunken.
22 What ! have ye not houses to eat and
to drink in? or despise ye the church of
Grod, and shame them that n have not ?
What shall I say to you? shall I praise
you in this ? I praise you not.
23 For*" I have received of the Lord
that which also I delivered imto you.
That the Lord Jesus,' the same night in
which he was betrayed, took bread :
24 And when he had given thanks, he
brake it, and said. Take, eat ; this is my
body, which is broken for you: this do
^ in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he tooTc
the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my
blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it,
in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup, i^ ye do shew the
Lord's death till he come.'*
27 Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this
bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, « shall be guilty of the body
and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine* himsel£
and so let liim eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and di'inketh un-
worthily, eateth and drinketh "^ damnation
to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and
sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if^ we _ would judge ourselves,
we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we' are
chastened of the Lord, that we should not
be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye
come together to eat, tarry one for
another.
34 And if any man hunger, let him eat
at home ; that ye come not together imto
P condemnation. And the rest will I set
in order when I come.
^y CHAPTER XIL
JM OW concerning spiritual gifts, bre-
thren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Grentiles, car-
ried away unto these dumb"' idols, even
as ye were led.
On spiritual gifts.
1 CORINTH. XIV,
The praise of Chariii/.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand,
that no man'^ speaking by the Spirit of
Grod calleth Jesus ^accursed: ana« that
no man can say that Jesus is the Lord,
but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, ^
but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of sadmi
nistrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities' of opera-
tions ; but it is the same Grod which work-
eth all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man to profit" withal.
8 For to one is given, by the Spirit, 9
the word of wisdom ; « to another the
word of knowledge,* by the same Spirit ;
9 To another faith,'* by the same Spirit ;
to another the gifts of healing,"' by the
same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles ;
to another prophecy; to another discern-
ing of spirits ;« to another divers kinds of
tongues ; " to another the interpretation
of tongues :
11 But aU these worketh that one and
the selfsame Spirit,^ dividing* to every
man severally as he wiU. ^
12 For as the body is one, and hath
many members, and all the members of
that one body, being many, are one body ;
so* also is Christ.
13 For by one Spii'it are we aU*" bap-
tized into one body, whether tve be Jews
or 'f GTentiles, whether toe be bond or free ;
and have been all made to di'ink*" into
one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member,
but many.
15 If the foot shall say. Because I am
not the hand, I am not of the body ; is it
therefore not of the body ?
16 And if the ear shall say. Because I
am not the eye, I am not of the body ; is
it therefore not of the body ?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where
were the hearing ? If the whole toere hear-
ing, where were the smelling ?
18 But now hath God set" the members
every one of them in the body, as it^ hath
pleased him.
19 And if they were aU one member,
where toere the body ?
20 But now are they many members,
yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the
hand, I have no need of thee : nor again,
the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more, those members y of
the body, which seem to be more feeble,
are necessary :
23 And those members of the body, which
we think to be less honoui*able, upon these
we ^ bestow more abundant honom* ; and
our uncomely parts have more abundant
comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no need :
but God hath tempered the body toge-
ther, having given more abundant honour
to that part which lacked.
25 That there should be no P schism in
the body; but that the members should
have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all
the members suffer with it ; or one mem-
ber be honoured, aU the members rejoice
with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and
members'* in particular.

2 For he that speaketh in an miTcnoion
tongue," speaketh not xmto men, but unto
God: for no* man ^ understandeth him;
howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto
men to edification, and exhortation, and
comfort. , .
4 He that speaketh m an unknown
tongue edifieth himself; but he that pro-
phesieth edifieth the church.
5 I wo\ild that ye all spake with tongues,
but rather that ye prophesied : for greater
is he that prophesieth than he that speak-
eth with tongues, except he interpret, that
the church may receive edifying. «
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you
speaking with tongues, what shall I profit
you, except I shaU speak to you either

by revelation, « or by knowledge, or by
prophesying, or bj^ doctrine ?
7 And even things without life, giving
sound, whether pipe or harp, except they
give a distinction in the^ p sounds, how
shall it be known what is piped or harped ?
8 For if the trumpet'' give an uncertain
sound, who shall prepare himself to the
battle ?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the
tongue words Veasy to be understood,
how shall it be known what is spoken?
for ye shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds
of voices in the world, and none of them
is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the mean-
ing of the voice, I shall be imto him that
speaketh a barbarian;* and he that speak-
eth shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zea-
lous of ^spiritual gifts, seek that ye may
excel to the edif jdng of the church.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in
an unknown tongue, pray that ne may in-
terpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue,
my spirit ^rayeth, but my understand-
ing is imfruitful.
15 What is it then ? I will pray with the
spirit," and I will pray with the understand-
ing also : I will smg" with the spirit, and
I wiU sing with the xmderstanding? also.
16 Else, when thou shalt bless with the
spirit, how shall he that occupieth the
rpom of the tmlearned, say Amen at thy
giving* of thanks, seemg he imderstand-
eth not what thou sayest ?
17 For thou verily givest thanks well,
but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God, I speak with
tongues more than ye all :
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak
five words with my imderstanding, that bi/
my voice I might teach others also, than ten
thousand words in an unknoton tongue.
20 Brethren, be not childreny in under-
standing: howbeit in malice be ye« child-
ren, but in understanding be «men.*
21 In the law'' it is written. With* men of
other tongues and other lips will I speak
imto this people ; and yet for aU that will
they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign,/
not to themi' that believe, but to them
that beheve not: but prophes5'ing serveth
not for them that believe not, but for them
which beheve.
23 If therefore the whole church be
come together into one place, and all
speak with tongues, and there come in
those that are unlearned, or unbelievers,
will they not say that ye are mad ?*
24 But if all prophesy, and there come
in one that believeth not, or 07ie unlearned,
he is convinced of all, he is judged of all :
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart
made manifest ; and so, falling down on
his face, he will worship Grod, and report
that G-od is™ in you of a truth.
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye
come together, every one of you hath a
psalm, hath a doctrine,^ hath a tongue,
hath a revelation, hath an interpretation.
Lef aU things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown
tongue, let it be by two, or at the most
by three, and that by course ; and let one
interpret.

28 But if there be no interpreter, let
him keep silence in the church ; and let
him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let* the prophets speak two or three,
and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another
that sitteth by, let the first ** hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one,
that aU may learn, and aU may be com-
forted.
32 And the spirits* of the prophets are
subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of ^ con-
fusion, but of peace, as in/ all churches
of the saints.
34 Let^ your women keep silence in
the churches : for it is not permitted unto
them to speak : but they are commanded to
be imder obedience,* as also saith' the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let
them ask their husbands at home : for it is
a shame for women to speak in the church,
36 What! came the word of God out
from you ? or came' it unto you only ?
37 If any man"* think himself to be a
prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge
that the things that I write unto you are
the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him
be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophe-
sy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Leti* all things be done decently and
in order.
-, -- CHAPTER XY.
Moreover, brethren, I" declare
unto you the gospel which I preached
unto you, which' also ye have received,
and wherein ye" stand ;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye"
*?keep in memory ^what I preached unto
you, unless ye*" have beheved in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of aU
that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according* to
the scriptures ;
4 And that he was buried, and that he
rose again the third day according* to
the scriptures ;
5 And that he was seen of Cephas,*
then of the twelve :
6 After that, he was seen of above five
hundred brethren at once; of whom the
greater part remain unto this present,
but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James;
then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all* he was seen of me
also, as of ^ one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least' of the apostles, that
am not meet to be called an apostle, be-
cause I persecuted the chm-ch of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what
I am : and his grace which was bestotved
upon me was not in vain ; but I laboured
more abundantly than they all: yet not I,'
but the grace of God wliich was with me.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they,
so we preach, and so ye beheved,
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose
from the dead, how" say some among you
that there is no resurrection of the dead ?
13 But if there" be no resiirrection of
the dead, then is Christ not risen.
14 And if Christ a be not risen, then is
our preacliing v^ain, and your faitn is also
vain,
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses
of God ; because we have testified of God
Resurrection of the Saints.
1 COEINTH. XVI.
that he raised up Christ : whom he raised
not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 Por if the dead rise not, then is not
Chi'ist raised :
17 And it" Chi'ist be not raised, your
faith* is vaia ; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen
asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If ia this life only we have hope in
Christ, we/ are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is^ Christ risen from the
dead, and become the firstfruits^ of them
that slept.
21 For' since by man came death * by
man came also the resurrection of the
dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But»» every man in his own order;
Christ the _ firstfruits ; afterward they
that are Christ's, at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall
have deHvered up the kingdom^ to Grod,
even the Father ; when he shall have put
down aU ride and aU authority and power.
25 For he' must reign, 'till he hath put
all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be de-
stroyed* is death.
27 For he" hath put aU things under his
feet. But when he saith, All thmgs are put
under him, it is manifest that he is except-
ed, which did put aU things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued*
unto him, then shall the Son also himself
be subject unto him* that put aU things
under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do which" are
baptized for the dead, if the dead rise
not at aU? why are they then baptized
for the dead ?
30 And why stand we in'' jeopardy
every hour?
31 I protest by Y your rejoicing « which I
have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I '• die dailj%
32 If ^ after the manner of men I have
fought with beasts at Ephesus, what ad-
vantageth it me, if the dead rise not ? Let
US'" eat and drink, for to morrow we die.
33 Be not deceived: evil" communi-
cations corrupt good manners.
34 Awake" to righteousness, and sin
not: for some have not the knowledge of
God : iP speak this to your shame.
35 But some man will say, How? are
the dead raised up ? and with what body
do they come ?
36 Thou fool! that* which thou sowest
is not quickened, except it die :
37,AJid that which thou sowest, thou
sowest not that body that shall be, but
bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or
of some other grain :
38 But God" giveth it a body as it hath
pleased him, and to every seed his own
body.
39 AU flesh is not the same flesh: but
there is one kind of flesh of men, another
flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and an-
other of birds.
40 There* are also celestial bodies, and
bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the
celestial is one, and the glory of the ter-
restrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the svLn,y and
another glory of the moon, and another
glory of the stars: for one star differeth
from another star in glory.

dead. It is sown iu corruption ; it is
raised La incorruption :
43 It" is sown iu dishonour; it is
raised in glory: it is sown in weakness;
it is raised in power :
44 It is sown a natural body; it is
raised a spiritual body. There is a natu-
ral body, and there is a spiritual <= body.
45 And so it is written,*^ The first man
Adam was made a hving soul; the* last
Adam tuas made a quickening spirit,
46 Howbeit that was not first which is
spu-itual, but that which is natural; and
afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The' first man is of the earth, earthy :
the second man is the Lord from heaven,
48 As is the earthy, such are they also
that are earthy: and as is the heavenly,
such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of
the earthy, we shaU also » bear the image
of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that " flesh
and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God; neither doth corruption inherit in-
corruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery :
We** shaU not aU sleep, but we shaU aU
be changed,
62 In a moment,* in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the*' trumpet
shaU sound, and the dead"" shaU be raised
incorruptible, and we shaU be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal y must put
on immortahty.
54 So when this corruptible shaU have
Eut on incorruption, and this mortal shaU
ave put on immortahty, theu shaU be
brought to pass the saying that is written.
Death* is swaUowed up in victory.
55 O** death, where is thy sting? O
^ grave, where is thy victory?
56 The/ sting of death is sin; and*' the
strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks* be to God, which giveth
us the victory* through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren,' be
ye stedfast, immoveable, always abound-
ing in the work of the Lord, forasmuch
as ye know that your labour is not in
vain in the Lord.
..y CHAPTER XVI.
iN OW concerning the coUection for the
saints, as*" I have given order to the
churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
2 Upon the first" day of the week let
every one of you lay by him in store, as
God hath prospered him, that there be
no gatherings when I come.
3 And when I come, whomsoever" ye
shaU approve by your letters, them wUl
I send to bring your fhberaUty unto
Jerusalem.
4 And if it be meet that I go also,
they shaU go with me.
5 Now I will come unto you,"" when
I shaU pass through Macedonia: for I
do pass through Macedonia.
6 And it may be that I wiU abide, yea,
and winter with you, that ye may bring
me on my journey whithersoever I go.
7 For I wiU not see you now by the

eth*^ the work of the Lord, as I also do.
11 Let no man therefore despise « him :
but conducts' him forth in peace, that he
may come unto me: for I look for him
with the brethren.
12 As touching our brother Apollos,'
I gi'catly desired him to come tmto you
with the brethren : but his will was not at
all to come at this time ; but he will come
when he shaR have convenient time.
13 Watch' ye, stand™ fast in the faith,
quit you like men,** be strong."
14 Let 2 all your things be done with
charity.
15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know
the house of Stephanas, that it is the**
firstfruits of Achaia, and that they haye
addicted themselves to the ministry of
the saiats,)
16 That ye submit" yourselves unto
such, and to every one that helpeth with
us and laboureth.

CHAPTER I.
JtAULj an apostle" of Jesus Christ by the
will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto
the church of God which is at Corinth, with
all the saints*' which are in all Achaia :
2 Grace'' he to you, and peace, from God
our Father, and/row the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed/ he God, even the Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies, and the God of all comfort ;
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribula-
tion, that we 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
aboimdeth by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for'
your consolation and salvation, which is
y effectual in the enduring of the same
sufferings which we also suffer: or whe-
ther we be comforted, it is for your con-
solation and salvation.
7 And om* hope of you is stedfast, know-
ing that as"* ye are partakers of the suffer-
ings, so shall ye he also of the consolation.
8 For we would not, brethren, have
you ignorant of our trouble ^ which came
to us in Asia, that we were pressed out
of measure, above strength, insomuch
that we despaired even of hfe :
9 But we had the ? sentence of death in
oivrselves, that we should not trust >" in our-
selves, but in God which raiseth the dead :
10 Who dehvered« us from so great
a death, and doth deliver : in whom we
trust that he will yet deliver tis;
11 Ye also helping* together by prayer
for us, that for the gift hestoioed upon us
by the means of many persons, thanks
may be given by many on our behalf.

12 For our rejoicing is tliis, the testi-
mony of our conscience, that in simpH-
city and godly sinceritj'', not* with fleshly
wisdom, but by the grace of'' God, we
have had our conversation in the world,
and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 For we write none other things imto
you, than what ye read or acknowledge;
and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to
the end ;
14 As also ye have acknowledged us in
part, thati' we are your rejoicing, even as
ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 And in this confidence I was mind-
ed to come unto you before, that ye
might have a second p benefit ;
16 And to pass by you into Macedonia,
and to come again out of Macedonia
imto you, and of you to be brought on
my* way toward Judaea.
17 When I therefore was thus minded,
did I use lightness ? or the things that I
purpose, do I purpose according' to the
flesh, that with me there should be yea,
yea, and nay, nay ?
18 But as God is true, our ^word to-
ward you was not yea" and nay.
19 For the Son" of God, Jesus Christ,
who was preached among you by us, even
by me and SHvanus and Timotheus, was
not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 For aU the promises of God in^ him
are yea, and in him Amen, imto the
glory of God by us.
21 Now he which stablisheth* us with
you in Christ, and hath anointed* us, is
God:
22 Who hath also sealed" us, and given
the earnest of the Spirit '" in our hearts.
23 Moreover I call God for a record
upon my soul, that, to spare you, I
came not as yet unto CorintL
Case of the incestuous ^person.
24 Not for that we have domimon"
over your faith, but are helpers of your
joy : for by faith* ye stand.
-Q CHAPTER II.
JjUT I determined this with myself,
that I woiUd not come again to you in
heaviness.'
2 For if I make you sorry, who is he
then that maketh me glad, but the same
which is made sorry by me ?
3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest,
when I came, I should have sorrow from
them of whom I ought to rejoice; having
confidence in you all that my joy is the
joy of you aU.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish
of heart I wrote unto you with many
tears ; not that ye shoidd be grieved, but
that ye might know the love"' which I
have more abundantly unto you.
5 But if any" have caused grief, he
hath not grieved me," but in part : that I
may not overcharge you all.
6 Sufficient to such a man is this V pu-
nishment, which loas inflicted^ of many.
7 Sc that contrariwise ye ought rather
to forgive him^ and comfort him, lest per-
haps such a one should be swallowed up
with overmuch sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye
would confirm your love toward him.
9 For to this end also did I write, that
I might know the proof of you, whether
ye be obedient" in all things.
10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I
forgive also : for if_ I forgave any thing,
to whom I forgave it, for your sakes for-
gave lit in the ^person of Christ ;
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage
of us : for we are not ignorant of his de-
vices.
12 Furthermore, when I v came to Troas
to preach Christ s gospel, and a door*
was opened unto me of the Lord,
13 I had no resf^ in my spirit, because
I found not Titus my brother : but taking
my leave of them, I went from thence
into Macedonia.
14 Now thanks be unto God,/ which
always causeth us to triumph in Christ,
and maketh manifest the savoxir^' of his
knowledge by us in every place.
15 For we are untp Grod a sweet savour
of Christ, in them* that are saved, and
in them that perish :
16 To the one* we are the savour of
death unto death; and to the other the
savour of life unto life. And who"* is
sufficient for these things?
17 For we are not as many, which
" corrupt the word of God : but as of sin-
cerity, but as of God, in the sights of
God, speak we ^in Christ.
-p. CHAPTER III.
JL/0 we begin again to commend 9 our-
selves? or need we, as some others, epis-
tles' of commendation to you, or letters
of commendation from you ?
2 Ye* are our epistle, written in our
hearts, known and read of all men :
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly de-
clared to be the epistle of Christ minis-
tered by us, written not with inlc, but
with the Spirit of the living God; not in
tables of stone," but in fleshy* tables of
the heart.
4 And such trust have we through
Christ to God-ward :

selves* to think any thing, as of ourselves ;
but our*^ sufficiency is of God :
6 "Who also hath made us able* minis'
ters of the new testament ;/ not of the
letter/ but of the spirit: for the letter*
kiUeth, but the spirit* ^giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, writ-
ten and engraven in stones, was glorious,
so that the children of Israel could not
stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the
glory' of his countenance; which glory
was to be done away ;
8 How shall not the ministration of the
Spirit be rather glorious ?
. 9 For if the ministration of condemna-
tion he glory, much more doth the minis-
tration of righteousness exceed in glory.
_ 10 For even that which was made glo-
rious had no glory in this respect, by rea-
son of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if^ that which is done away was
glorious, much more that which remain-
eth is glorious.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope,
we use great 5 plainness of speech :
13 And not as Moses, which put a vail
over his face, that the children of Israel
could not stedfastly look to the end« of
that which is aboHsned :
14 But their minds were blinded;* for
until this day remaineth the same vail
untaken away in the reading of the old
testament; which vail is done away in
Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses
is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless, when it shall turn to
the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.''
17 Now the Lord** is that Spirit: and
where the Spirit* of the Lord w, there 'is
liberty.
18 But we all, with open face behold-
ing as in a glass « the glory of the Lord,
are changed into the same image* from
glory « to glory, even as -n by the Spirit of
the Lord.
rp CHAPTER lY.
XHEREFORE, seeing we have this mi-
nistry, as we have received mercy,* we
faint not ;
2 But have renounced the hidden things
of ^dishonesty, not walking in craftiness,
nor handling the word of God deceit-
fully;* but by manifestation of the truth
comraending ourselves to every man's
conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to
them' that are lost :
4 In whom the god" of this world hath
blinded the minds of them which believe
not, lest the light of the glorious gospel
of Christ, who is the image*' of God,
should shine imto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but
Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves
your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light*"
to shine out of darkness, ^ hath shined in
our hearts, to give the light of the know-
ledge of the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the exceUency* of the power
may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled" on every side, yet
not distressed; we are perplexed, but not
^ in despair ;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast
down, but not destroyed;

Ministry of the Apostles
10 Always beaiing" about in the body
the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life*
also of Jesus might be made manifest in
our body.
11 Foi' we which live are* alway deli-
vered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the
life also of Jesus might be made manifest
in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death/ worketh in us, but
life in you.
13 We having the same spirit i' of faith,
according as it is written, I* believed,
and therefore have I spoken; we also be-
lieve, and therefore speak ;
14 Knowing* that he which raised up
the Lord Jesus, shall raise up us also by
Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things'" are for your sakes,
that the abundant grace" might, through
the thanksgiving of many, redoimd to the
glory of Grod.
16 For which cause we^ fault not ; but
though our outward man perish, yet the
inward' man is renewed day by day.
17 For our* light affliction, which is
but for a moment, worketh for us a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory;
18 While we look not at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not
seen :* for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal.
-^ CHAPTER y.
x! OR we know, that if our earthly house
of this tabernacle y were dissolved, we
have a building of God, an house" not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan,* earnestly de-
siring to be clothed upon with our house
which is from heaven :
3 If so be that being clothed we shall
not be found naked.**
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do
groan, being burdened: not for that we
Avould be imclothed. but clothed upon,
that mortality i' might be swallowed up
of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought* us for
the selfsame thing is Grod, who also hath
given unto us the earnest* of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident,
knowing that, whilst we are at home in
the bpdy, we are absent from the Lord
7 (For we" walk by faith, not by sight \)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing^
rather to be absent from the body, and to
be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we '^ labour, that, whether
present or absent, we may be accepted of
10 For we* must all appear before the
judgmentseat of Christ; that every one
may receive" the things done in his bod}%
according to that he hath done, whether
it he good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror"" of
the Lord, we persuade men; but we* are
made manifest imto Grod ; and I trust also
are made manifest La your consciences.
12 For we* commend not ourselves
agaia unto you, but give you occasion to
glory on our behalf, that ye may have
somewhat to answer them which glory in
^appearance, and not in heart.
13 For whether we be beside" ourselves,
it is to Grod: or whether we be sober, it
is for yoiu* cause.

CHAPTER III.
1 OE this cause I Paul, the prisoner of
Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensa-
tion* of the graced of God, which is
given me to you-ward :
3 How that by revelation" he made
known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote
S afore in few words,
4 AVhereby, when ye read, ye may un-
derstand my knowledge in the mystery*^
of Christ;)
5 Which in other ages was uot'^ made
known unto the sons of men, as it is now
revealed unto his holy apostles and pro-
phets by the Spirit ;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellow-
heirs, and of the same body, and partakers
of his promise in Christ by the gospel ;
7 Whereof I was made a minister, ac-
cording to the gift of the grace of God
given unto me by the effectual/ working
of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less * than the least
of all saints, is this grace given, that I
should preach among the Gentiles the
imsearchable riches* of Christ :
9 And to make all me7i see, what is the
fellowship of the mystery,' which from
the beginning of the world hath been hid
in God, who created aU things by » Jesus
Christ :
10 To the intent that now unto the
principalities and powers in heavenly
vlaces might be known, by the chui'ch,
the manifold wisdom? of God,
11 According to the eternal* purpose
which he purposed ia Christ Jesus our
Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness * and ac-
cess with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not
at my tribulations for you, which" is
your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in hea-
ven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according

CHAPTER TV.
I THEREFORE, the prisoner Vof the
Lord, beseech you that ye walk* worthy
of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With aU lowliness" and meekness,
with longsuffering, forbearing one another
in love ;
3 Endeavom'ing to keep the unity of
the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as
ye are called in one hope of your calling ;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is
above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given
grace according to the measure* of the
gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith,* When he as-
cended up on high, he led ^captivity
captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it
but that he also descended first into the
lower parts of the earth ?
10 He that descended is the same also
that ascended up far above aU heavens,
that he might 'J fill all things.)
11 And« he gave some, apostles; and
some, prophets ; and some, evangelists ;
and some, pastors and teachers ;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for
the work of the ministry, for the edify-
ing of the body of Christ :
13 TiU we all come ^ in the unity ^ of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, unto a perfect' man, unto the mea-
sure of the "stature of the fulness of
Christ :
14 That we henceforth be no more chil-
dren, tossed to and fro, and carried"*
about with every wind of doctrine, by the
sleight of men, and _ cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive ;
15 But, ^speaking the truth" in love,
may grow up into him in all things,
which is the head,^ even Christ :
16 From whom*" the whole body fitly
joined together, and compacted by that
which every joint supplieth, according
to the effectual working in the measure of
every part, maketh increase of the body
imto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in
the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not
as other GentUes walk, in the vanity of
their mind,
18 Having the understanding" darken-
ed, being alienated from the life of God
through the ignorance that is in them, be-
cause of the /* blindness of their heart :
138
The believer's newness of life.
EPHESIANS, VI.
Conjugal and filial duties.
19 Who being past feeliug, have given"
themselves over unto lasciviousness, to
work all uncleauness with greediness.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and
have been taught by him, as the truth is
in Jesus :
22 That ye put off,*^ concerning the
former conversation, the old nian,/ which
is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts ;
23 And be renewed* in the spirit of
your mind ;
24 And that ye put on the new man,
which after Gfod is created-^ in righteous-
ness and V true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak
every man truth" with his neighbour:
for weP are members one of another.
26 Be ye angr}^ and sin not ; let >■ not
the sun go down upon your wrath :
27 Neither give* place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more : but
rather let him* labour, working with Ms
hands the thing which is good, that he
may have to ^ give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt*" communication pro-
ceed out of your mouth, but that which
is good fto the use of edifying, that it
may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve"" not the holy Spirit of
God, whereby ye are sealed* unto the
day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, y and wrath, and
anger, and clamour, and evil speaking,*
be put away from you, with all malice :
32 And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving* one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath for-
given you.
-rj CHAPTER V.
X>E ye therefore followers of God, as
dear children ;
2 And walk in love,* as Christ also
hath loved us, and hath given himself for
us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for
a sweet smelling/ savour.
3 But fornication, i' and all uncleau-
ness, or covetousness, let it not be once
named' among you, as becometh saints ;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking,
nor jesting, which are ' not convenient ;
but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no" whore-
monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous
man, who" is an idolater, hath any inhe-
ritance in the kingdom of Christ and of
God.
6 Let no man deceive ^ you with vain
words: for because of these things com-
eth the wrath of God upon the children
of 'J disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with
them.
8 For ye» were sometimes darkness,
but now are i/e light* in the Lord: walk
as children'* of light ;
9 (For the fruit '' of the Spirit is in all
goodiiess and righteousness and truth ;)
10 Proving'" what is acceptable unto
the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship* with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove* them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of
those things which are done of them in
secret.
13 But all things that are ^reproved
are made manifest " by the light : for
whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

13 I can do all things through* Christ
which strengtheneth me.
14 Notwithstanding, ye have well done
that ye did communicate with my afflic-
tion.
15 Now ye PhiHppians know also,
that in the beginning of the gospel, when
I departed from Macedonia, no/ church
communicated with me as concerning
giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent
once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift; but I
desire fruit that may abound to your
account.
18 But I 7 have all, and abound; I am
full, having received of Epaphroditus the
things which tvere sent from you, an odour
of a sweet smell, a sacrifice « acceptable,
wellpleasing to Grod.
19 But my God shall supply « all your
need, according to his riches* in glory
by Christ Jesus.
20 Now" unto God and our Father he
glory for ever and ever. Amen.

they that are of Csesar's household.

he with you all. Amen.

-o CHAPTER I.
jtAUL,* an apostle of Jesus Christ,
by the will of Grod, and Timotheus our
brother,
2 To the saints'^ and faithful brethren
in Christ which are at Colosse:* Grace
be unto you, and peace, from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We/ give thanks to God and the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, pray-
ing always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in
Christ Jesus, and of the love tohich ye
have to all the saints ;
5 For the hope which is laid up* for
you in heaven, whereof ye heard before
in the word of the truth of the gospel ;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is
in all* the world; and bringeth' forth
fruit, as it doth also in you, since the
day ye heard " of it, and knew the " grace
of God in truth : p
7 As ye also learned of? Epaphras our
dear fellowservant, who is for you a
faithful minister of Christ ;
8 Who also declared unto us your
love* in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the day
we heard it, do not cease to pray for
you, and to desire that ye might be filled
with the knowledge of his will," in all
wisdom"* and spiritual understanding ;*
10 That ye might walk worthy* of the
Lord imto all pleasing," being' fruitful
in every good work, and increasing '^ in
the knowledge of God ;
11 Strengthened** with all might, ac-
cording to his glorious power, unto all
patience f and longsuffering with joy-
fulness ; •
12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet* to be par-
takers of the inheritance" of the saints
in light :
13 Who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness," and hath translated
us into the kingdom of ^ his dear Son ;
14 In* whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness
of sins ;
15 Who is the image'' of the invisible
God, the firstborn of every creature :
16 For by him" were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities,
or powers : all things were created by ^
him, and for him :
17 And he is before* all things, and
by him all things consist.
IS And he is the head* of the body,
the church: who is the beginning," the
firstborn from the dead ; that f* in all
things he might have the preeminence.

whereof I Paul am made a minister ;

man, and teaching* every man in all
wisdom ; that * we may present every
man perfect in Christ Jesus :
29 Whereunto"* I also labour, striving

1-, CHAPTER IL
Ju OE I would that ye knew what great
"conflict I have for you, and for them
at Laodicea,' and for as many as have
not seen my face in the flesh ;
2 That their hearts might be com-
forted, being knit together in love,* and
unto aU riches of the full* assurance
of imderstandiag, to the acknowledg-i
ment of the mystery" of God, and of
the Father, and of Christ ;
3 ^In whom are hid all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should
beguile^ you with enticing words.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh,
yet am I with you in the spirit, joying
and beholding your order, and the
stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

7 Kooted« and built up iu him,* and
stablisJied in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with thanks-
giving.
8 Beware <' lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the p rudi-
ments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him* dwelleth all the fulness
of the Grodhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete^' in him, which
is the head* of aU principality and power ;
11 In whom also ye are circumcised
with the circumcision.' made without
hands, in putting off the body of the sins
of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ ;
12 Buried* with him in baptism, where-
in also ye are risen with him through the
faith of the operation' of Grod, who hath
raised him from the dead.
13 And" you, being dead in your sins
and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses ;
14 Blotting^ out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, which
was contrary to us, and took it out of
the way, nailing it to his cross ;
15 And having' spoiled principalities
and powers, he made a show of them
openly, triimiphing over them in ^ it.
16 Let no man therefore judge **" you
^in meat, or in drink, or in ^respect of
an holy day, or of the new moon, or of
the sabbath days :
17 Which are a shadow y of things to
come ; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let* no man ^begiiile you of your
reward, ^in a voluntary humilitv and
worshipping of angels, intruding* into
those things which he hath not seen,
vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head,*' from
which all the body by joints and bands
having nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increaseth with the increase of
God.
20 Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ
from the ^rudiments of the world, why,
as though living in the world, are ye sub-
ject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not ; taste not ; handle not ;
22 Which all are to perish with the
using;) after the commandments and
doctrines of men ?
23 Which things have indeed a show
of wisdom in will worship, and humility,
and M- neglecting of the boay: not in any
honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

XF ye then be risen f" with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where
Christ* sitteth on the right hand of
God.
2 Set your »* affection on things above,
not* on things on the earth.
3 For™ ye are dead, and your life is
hid with Christ in God.
4 When" Christ, toho is" our life, shall
appear, then shall ye also appear with
him in glory.
5 Mortify 9 therefore your members
which are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil
concupiscence, and covetousness, which
is idolatry:

God Cometh on the children of disobe-

the word of the Lord may ^ihave free
course, and be glorified, even as it is
with you:

Lord touching you, that ye both do and

you.
5 And the Lord direct^ your hearts
into the love of God, and into the « pa-
tient waiting for Christ.

that ye withdraw' yourselves from every

The Pirst Epistle of PAUL tlie Apostle to TIMOTHY,
-f3 CHAPTER I.
JlAUL, an apostle of Jesus Chi*ist,«
by tlie commandment of God our Sa-
viour, and Lord Jesus Clirist, tvMcTi is
our hope ; «
2 Unto Timothj','^ mij own son« in the
faith: G-race,fl' mercy, and peace, from
G-od our father and Jesus Christ our
Lord.
3 As I besought thee to abide still at
Ephesus, when I went* into Macedonia,
that thou mightest charge some that they
teach no other doctrine,
4 Neither give heed''^ to fables and end-
less genealogies, which minister ques-
tions, rather than godly edifying which
is in faith ; so do.
5 Now the end"' of the commandment
is charity out of a pure" heart, and of a
good conscience, and o/ faith unfeigned :
6 From which some^ having swerved,"
have turned aside unto vain jangling ;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law;
Tinderstanding 9 neither what they say,
nor whereof tliey affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good,*
if a man use it lawfully ;
9 Knowing this, that" the law is not
made for a righteous man, but for the
lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly
and for sinners, for unholy and profane,
for murderers of fathers and murderers
of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that
defile themselves with mankind, for men-
stealers, for liars, for perjured persons,
and if there be any other thing that is
contrary to sound *^ doctrine ;
11 According to the glorious gospel
of the blessed" God, which* was com-
mitted to my trust.
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord,
who hath enabled <" me, for that he
counted me faithful,'^ putting* me into
the ministry ;
13 Who was before i? a blasphemer,
and a persecutor, and injurious : but I
obtained mercy, because I did it igno-
rantly * in unbelief.
14 And the grace of our Lord was
exceeding abundant with faith and love
which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful » saying, and wor-
thy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus
came * into the world to save sinners ; of
whom I am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained
mercy, that in me first Jesus ^ Christ
might shew forth all longsuffering, for
a pattern"* to them which should here-
after believe on him to life everlasting.
17 Now unto the King*' eternal, im-
mortal,^ invisible,' the only wise** God,
he honour* and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

CHAPTER V.
K)EBUKE not an elder, but entreat
him as a father ; and the younger men
as brethren :
2 The elder women as mothers ; the
yoimger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Honour widows that are widow.s
indeed. *
4 But if any widow have children or
nephews, let them learn fii'st to shew
f piety at home, and to requite their pa-
rents: for that is good and acceptable
before God.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and
desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth
in supplications and prayers night and
day.
6 But she that liveth *?in pleasure is
dead* while she live th.
7 And these things give in charge,
that they may be blameless.
8 But if any provide not for his own,
and specially" for those of^ his own
-^ house, he hath denied the faith, and is
worse than an infidel.
9 Let not a widow be M taken into the
number under threescore years old, hav-
ing been the wife of one man,
10 Well reported of for good works;
if she have brought up children, if she
have lodged ' strangers, if she have wash-
ed the saints' feet, if she have relieved
the afilicted, if she have diligently fol-
lowed every good work.
11 But the younger widows refuse : for
when they have begun to wax wanton
against Christ, they will marry ;
12 Having damnation, because they
have cast off their first faith.
13 And withal they learn to he idle,
wandering about from house to house ;
and' not only idle, but tattlers also, and
busybodies, speaking things which they
ought not.
14 I will therefore that the yoxmger
women marry, bear children, guide the
house, give none occasion to the adver-
sary " to speak reproachfully.
15 For some are already turned aside
after Satan.
16 If any man or woman that beheveth
have widows, let them relieve them, and
let not the church be charged ; that it may
relieve them that are widows indeed.
17 Let? the elders that rule well be
counted worthy of double honour, espe-
cially they who labour in the word and
doctrine.
18 For the scripture saith,'" Thou shalt
not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the
Ministerial dutiea.

corn. And,* The labourer is worthy of
his reward.
19 Against an elder receive not an ac-
cusation, but ^before two<^ or three
witnesses.
20 Them that sin rebuke « before all,
that 0 others also may fear.
21 I charftc^ thee before God, and the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect' angels,
that thou observe these things without
S preferring one^' before another, doing
nothing by partiality.
22 Lay hands'" suddenly on no man,
neither be partaker " of other men's sins :
keep thyself pure.
23 Drink no longer water, but use a
little wine^ for thy stomach's sake and
thine often infirmities.
24 Some men's sins are open*" before-
hand, going before to judgment: and
some men they follow after.
25 Likewise also the good works of
some are manifest beforehand; and they
that are otherwise cannot be hid.
-P CHAPTER VI.
JLET as many servants*" as are under
the yoke count their own masters wor-
thy of aU honoiu', that the name of Grod
and Ms doctrine be Jiot blasphemed.
2 And they that have believing masters,
let them not despise them^ because they
are brethren ; but rather do them service,
because they are ^ faithful and beloved,
partakers of the benefit. These things
teach and exhort.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and con-
sent not to wholesome '^ words, even the
words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the
doctrine which is according/ to godliness,
4 He is proud, »« knowing i' nothing,
but ^ doting about questions and strifes
of words, whereof cometh envy, strife,
railings, evil surmisings,
.5 Perverse" disputings of men of cor-
rupt minds, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness : from
such* withdraw thyself.
6 But godliness' with contentment is
great gain.

world, and it is certain" we can carry
nothing out.

be therewith content."

9 But they that will^ be rich, fall into
temptation, and a snare, and into many
fooUsh and hurtful lusts, wliich drown
men in destruction and perdition.
10 For/ the love of money is the root
of aU evil; which while some coveted
after, they have y erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man' of God, flee these
things; and foUow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meek-
ness.
12 Fight" the good fight of faith, lay

also called, and hast professed « a good
profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge* in the sight of
God, who quickeneth aU things, and
before Christ Jesus, who* before Pontius
Pilate witnessed a good f confession ;
14 That thou keep this commandment
without spot, unrebukeable," until the
appearing^ of our Lord Jesus Christ :

who is the blessed* and only Potentate,
they King of kings, and Lord of lords j
16 Who only hath immortaUty, dwell-
ing in the light which' no man can ap-
proach unto; whom" no man hath seen,
nor can see: to whom* he honour and
power everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge them that are rich in this
woi^ld, that they be not highminded, nor
trust <^ in ^uncertain riches, but in the
living Godj who giveth us richly all
things to enjoy;*
18 That they do good, that they be
rich in good works, ready to distribute,
^ willing to communicate ;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a
good foundation against the time to come,
that they may lay^ hold on eternal life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is
committed to thy trust, avoiding' pro-
fane anci vain babblings, and oppositions
of science falsely so called ;

concerning the faith. Grace he with
thee. Amen.

The Second Epistle of PAUL tlie Apostle to TIMOTHY.
-p CHAPTER I.
Jc AXIL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by
the will of God, according to the * pro-
mise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved sou:'^
G-race, mercy, and peace, from God the
Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve/ from
my forefathers with pure conscience,*
that without ceasing I have remembrance
of thee in my prayers night and day ;
4 Greatly desiring* to see thee, being
mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled
with joy ;
5 When I call to remembrance the
unfeigned faith' that is in thee, which
dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and
thy mother"* Eimice; and I am per-
suaded that in thee also.
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance
that thou stir up the gift of God,^ which
is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit
of fear;*" but of power,* and of love, and
of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of
the testimony of our Lord, nor of me
his prisoner: but be thou partaker" of
the afflictions of the gospel according to
the power of God ;
9 Who hath saved'" us, and called* us
with an holy calling, not ' according to
our works, but according to his own pur-
pose" and grace, which was given us in
Christ Jesus, before " the world began ;
10 But is now made manifest « by the
appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who hath abolished'* death, and hath
brought life* and immortaUty to light
through the gospel :
11 Whereunto I am appointed a
preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher
of the Gentiles.
12 For^ the which cause I also sufier
these things: nevertheless" I am not
ashamed: for I know whom I have ^be-
lieved, and am persuaded that he is able
to keep that which I have" committed
unto him against that day.
13 Hold fast^ the form? of** sound
words, which thou hast heard of me, in
faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 That* good thing which was com-
mitted unto thee, keep by the Holy
Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15 This thou knowest, that all" they
which are in Asia be turned* away from
me; of whom are Phygellus and Her-
mogenes.
16 The Lord give mercy unto the house
of Onesiphorus ; " for he oft refreshed me,
and was not ashamed of my chain.*
17 But when he was in Rome, he
sought me out very diligently, and
found me.
18 The Lord grant unto him that he
may find mercy of the Lord in* that
day : and in how many things he/ minis-
tered \mto me at Ephesus, thou knowest
very weU.

turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which ^ creep
into houses, and lead captive silly women
laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres" with-
stood Moses, so do these also resist the
truth: men* of corrupt minds, ^repro-
bate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further :
for their folly shall be manifest unto aU
men^ as their's also was.
10 But thou hast "fully known my
doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith,
longsuffering, charity, ijatience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came
unto me at Antioch,'' at Iconium,* at
Lystra; what persecutions I endured:
but out of them all* the Lord delivered
me.
12 Yea, and all that wUl live godly in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall
wax worse_ and worse, deceiving, and
being' deceived.
14 But continue" thou in the things
which thou hast learned and hast been
assured of, knowing of whom thou hast
learned them ;
15 And that from a child thou hast
known the holy scriptures, which <> are
able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
_ 16 AllP scripture is given by inspira-
tion of God, and 9 is profitable for doc-

with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they

their own lusts shall i\\ej heap to them-
selves teachers, having itching ears ;
4 And they shall turn away their ears
from the truth, and shall be turned unto
fables. ^
5 But watch thou in all things,* endure
afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,

6 For I am now ready to be offered,
and the time of my departure" is at hand.
7 I have fought i' a good fight, I have
finished? my course, I have kepf the
faith :
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a
crown* of righteousness, which the Lord,
the righteous judge, shall give me at that
day: and not to me only, but unto all
them" also that love his appearing.
9 Do thy diligence to come shortly
unto me :

loved* tliis present world, and is departed
unto Thessalonica ; Crescens to Galatia,
Titus unto Dalmatia.
11 Only Luke is vnth. me. Take Mark,
and bring him with thee ; for he is profit-

thee, and the books, hut especially the
parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me
much evil : the Lord " reward him accord-
ing to his works :
15 Of whom be thou ware also ; for he
hath greatly withstood our ^ words.
16 At my first answer no man stood
with me, but all/ men forsook me : I pray
God that it may not be laidi" to their
charge.
17 Notwithstanding the Lord' stood
with me, and strengthened me ; that by me
the preaching might be fully known, and
that aU the Gentiles might hear : and I was
delivered out of the mouth* of the lion.
18 And the Lord" shall deliver me from
every evil work, and vdll preserve me
unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom he
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the
household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus abode at Corinth : but Tro-
phimus have I left at Miletum sick.
21 Do thy diligence to come before
winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pu-

22 The Lord Jesus Christ he with thj'
spirit. Grace he with you. Amen.
The second epistle unto Timotheus, or-

The Epistle of PAUL the Apostle to TITUS.
^ CHAPTER I.
Jl AUL, a servant of God, and an apostle
of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of
God's elect, and the acknowledging" of
the truth which" is after godliness ;
2 ^ In hope of eternal life, which God,
that<^ cannot lie, promised before* the
world began ;
3 But 9 hath in due times manifested
his word through preaching,* which is
committed unto me, according to the
commandment of God our Saviour ;
4 To Titus, wme own son'after the common
faith : Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the
Father and tueLordJesusChrist our Saviour.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that
thou shouldest set in orders the things
that are f wanting, and ordain*" elders in
every city, as I had appointed thee :
6 If any be blameless, the husband of
one wife, having faithM children, not
accused of riot, or unruly.
7 For a bishop* must be blameless, as
the steward of God; not selfwilled, not
soon angry, not given to wine, no striker,
not given to filthy lucre ;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of
good V men, sober, just, holy, temperate ;
9 Holding" fast the faithful word, ^as
he hath been taught, that he may be able
by sound doctrine both to exhort and to
convince the gaiusayers.
10 For there are many unruly and vain
talkers '^ and deceivers, specially they of
the circumcision :
11 Whose mouths must be stopped ; who
subvert* whole houses, teaching things
which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One/ of themselves, even a prophet
of their own, said. The Cretians are alway
liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore re-
buke* them sharply; that they may be
sound in the faith ;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables,'
and commandments of men, that turn
from the truth.
15 Unto ' the pure all things are pure :
but unto them that are defiled and unbe-
lieving is nothing pure ; but even their
mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess" that they know God;
but in works they deny him, being abo-
minable, and disobedient, and unto every
good work ^ reprobate.
-r» CHAPTER II.
JjTJT speak thou the things which be-
come sound doctrine :
2 That the aged' men be ''sober, grave,
temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in
patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that _ thei/
be in behaviour as becometh ^holiness,
not '^ false accusers, not given to much
wine, teachers of good things ;
4 That they may teach the young
women to be P sober, to love their hus-
bands, to love their children,
5 To he discreet, chaste, keepers at home,
good, obedient to their own husbands,
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be
T sober minded :
7 In all things shewing thyself a pat-
tern of good works ; in doctrine shelving
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

11 For the grace' of God that bringeth
salvation * hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us, that, denying* ungod-
liness and worldly lusts,™ we" should
live soberly, righteously, and godlj', in
this present world ;
13 Looking" for that blessed hope, and
the glorious appearing*? of the great God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ ;
14 Who gave' himself for us, that he
might redeem us from aU^ iniquity, and
purify" unto himself a peculiar* people,
zealous*" of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and
rebuke with all authority. Let^ no man
despise thee.
-r. CHAPTER III.
JlUT them in mind to be subject* to
principaHties and powers, to obey magis-
trates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no
brawlers, hut gentle, shewing all* meek-
ness unto all men.
3 For* we ourselves also were sometimes
foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving di-
vers lusts and pleasures, living in malice
and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and " love
of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Noti* by works of righteousness which
we have done, but according to his mercy
he saved us, by the washing of regenera-
tion, and renewing of the Holy Ghost ;
6 Which he shed on us /^abundantly,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour ;
7 That, being justified* by his grace,
we should be made heirs according to the
hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these
things I will that thou affirm constantly,
that they which have believed in God
might be careful'" to maintain good
works. These things are good and pro-
fitable unto men.
9 But" avoid foolish questions, and gene-
alogies, and contentions, and strivings about
the law ; for they are unprofitable and vain.

first and second admonitionP reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is sub-
verted, and sinneth, being condemned of
himself.

mined there to winter.

tain good* works for necessary uses, that

JtAUL, a prisoner* of Jesus Clu'ist, and
Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our
dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,<^
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and
Arehippus'^ our fellowsoldier, and to
the church/ in thy liouse,
3 Grace ^ to you, and peace, from God
our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank' my God, making mention
of thee always in 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 become effectual*' by the acknow-
ledging of every ^ good thing which is in
you in Christ Jesus.
7 For we have great joy and conso-
lation in thy love, because the bowels
of the saints are refreshed 3 by thee,
brother.
8 Wherefore, though*" I might be much
bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which
is convenient,
9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech
thee, being such an one as Paul the aged,
and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesi-
mus,«' whom I have begotten* in my
bonds :
11 Which* in time past was to thee
unprofitable, but now profitable to thee
and to me :
12 Whom I have sent again : thou
therefore receive him, that is, mine own
bowels ;
13 Whom I would have retained with

me, that" in thy stead he might have
ministered xmto me in the bonds of the
gospel :
14 But without thy mind would I do
nothing ; that thy benefit should not be aa
it were of necessity, but willingly.'
15 Fori? perhaps he therefore departed
for a season, that thou shouldest receive
liim for ever ;
16 Not now as a servant, but above a
servant, a brother* beloved, specially to
me, but how much more unto thee, both
in the flesh, ^ and in the Lord?
17 If thou count me therefore a part-
ner," receive liim as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth
thee ought, put that on mine account ;
19 I Paul have written it Avith mine
own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do
not say to thee how thou owest unto me
even thine own self besides.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of
thee in the Lord : refresh » my bowels in
the Lord.
21 Having confidence' in thy obedi-
ence I wrote unto thee, knowing that
thou wilt also do more than I say.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodg-
ing: for I" trust that through" yoiu-
prayers I shall be given unto you.

The Epistle of PAUL the Apostle to the HEBREWS.
^ CHAPTER I.
VXOD, wlio'^ at sundry times and in
divers manners, spake in time past unto
the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken * unto
us by Ms Son, whom he hath appointed
heir" of all things, by whom* also he
made the worlds ;
3 Who/ being the brightness of Ids
glory, and the express image of his per-
son, and upholding aU things by the word
of his power, when he^' had by himself
pui'ged our sms, sat down* on the right
hand of the Majesty on high ;
4 Being made so much better than the
angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained
a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at
any time. Thou ^ art my Son, this day have
I begotten thee ? And again, I » Avill be to
him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son ?
6 ^And again, when he bringeth in the
firstbegotten into the world, he saith. And
lef all the angels of God worship him.
7 And _^of the angels he saith. Who*
maketh his angels spirits, and his minis-
ters a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son Jie saith. Thy"
throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a
sceptre of 'J righteousness is the sceptre
of thy kingdom :
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and
hated iniquity ; therefore God, even thy
God, hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou," Lord, in the beginning
hast laid the foundation of the earth;
and the heavens are the works of thine
hands :
11 They shall perish, but thou remain-
est : and they aU shaU wax old as doth a
garment ;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them
up, and they shall be changed : but thou art
the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to w;luch of the angels said he
at any time. Sit/ on my right hand, until
I make thine enemies thy footstool ?
14 Ajce they not aU ministering spirits,*'
sent forth * to minister for them who shall
be heirs* of salvation?
m CHAPTER II.
iHEREFORE we ought to give the
more earnest heed to the things which we
have heard, lest at any time we should
'^ let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels^
was stedfast, and every transgression'"
and disobedience received a just recom-
pence of reward ;
3 How shaU we" escape, if we neglect
so great salvation; which" at the first be-
gan to be spoken by the Lord, and was con-
firmed unto us by them that heard him;
4 God 9 also bearing them witness, both
with signs and wonders, and with divers
miracles, and /* gifts of the Holy Ghost,
according to his own will ?

5 For unto the angels hath he not put
in subjection the world to come, whereof
we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified,
saying, What is man, « that thou art mind-
ful of him ? or the son of man, that thou
visitest him ?
7 Thou madest him ^a little lower
than the angels ; thou crownedst him with
glory and honour, and didst set him over
the works of thy hands :
8 Thou liast put all things in subjection
under bis feet. For in that he put all in
subjection under him, he left nothing that
is not put under him. But now we* see
not yet aU things put under him.
9 But we see Jesus, who* was made a
little lower than the angels, Yfor the suf-
fering of death, crowned »» with glory and
honour; that he" by the grace of God
should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him,^ for whom? are
all things, and by whom are all things, in
bringing many sons unto glory, to make
the captain^ of their salvation perfect"
through sufierings.
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they
who are sanctified, are all"* of one: for
which cause he is not ashamed to caU
them brethren ;
12 Saying, I* will declare thy name
unto my brethren; in the midst of the
chm-ch will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I^ Avill put my trust in
him. And again, Behold I ' and the chil-
dren which God* hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he« also
himself likewise took part of the same ;
that through death '^ he might destroy
him that had the power of death, that is,
the devil ;
15 And deliver them who through fear «
of death were aU their lifetime subject to
bondage.
16 For verily ^he took not on him the
nature of angels ; but he took on him the
seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in aU thiugs it behoved
him to be made like unto his brethren,
that he might be a merciful * and faithful
high priest in things pertaining to God, to
make reconciliation for the sins of the
people :
18 For in that he himself hath suffered
being tempted, he is able to succour them
that are tempted.
CHAPTER III.
Wherefore, holy brethren, par-
takers of the heavenly calhng, consider
the Apostle and High Priest ^ of our pro-
fession, Christ Jesus ;
2 Who was faithful to him that ^ap-
pointed him, as also Hoses'" was faithful
in aU his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of
more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he

HEBREWS, V. Fermanent priesthood of Christ.
who liatli builded" the house hath more
honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some
man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses * verily loas faithful in all
his house, as a servant, « for a testimony
of those things which were to be spoken
after ;
6 But Christ as a son/ over his own
house; whose house* are we, if« Ave hold
fast the confidence and the rejoicing of
the hope firm unto the end.
7 AVherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith,
To day "• if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation, in the day of temptation in
the wilderness ;
9 When your fathers tempted me, prov-
ed me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that
generation, and said, They do alway err
in their heart ; and they have not known
my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, <^They
shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in
any of you an evil* heart of unbehef, in
departing " from the living God.
13 But exhort" one another daily, while
it is called To day ; lest any of you be hard-
ened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 Eor we are made partakers of Christ,
if* we hold the beginning of our confi-
dence stedfast unto the end ;
15 While it is said,y To day if ye will
hear his voice, harden not your hearts,
as in the provocation.
16 For** some, when they had heard,
did provoke : howbeit not all that came
out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty
years? toas it not with them that had
sinned, whose carcases <* fell in the wil-
derness ?
18 And to whom sware/ he that they
should not enter into his rest, but to
them that believed not ?
19 So * we see that they could not enter
in because of imbelief.
y CHAPTER IV.
JLET us* therefore fear, lest, a i)romise
being left us of entering into his rest,
any of you should seem to come short
of it.
2 Eor unto us was the gospel preach-
ed, as well as unto them: but the word
^ preached did not profit them, " not being
mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 Eor we which have believed do enter
into rest; as he said, i* As I have sworn in
my wrath, if they shaU enter into my
rest : although the works were finished
from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the
seventh day on this wise,* And God did
rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall
enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that
some must enter therein, and they* to
whom ^it was first preached entered not
in because of unbelief :
7 (Again, he limiteth a certain day,
saying in David, To day, after so long a
time ; as it is said," To day if ye will
hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if "Jesus had given them rest,
tlien would he not afterward have spoken
of another day.

9 There remaineth therefore a ^rest to
the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest,
he also hath ceased from his ovoi works,
as God did from his.)
11 Let** us labour therefore to enter
into that rest, lest any man fall after the
same example of 7 unbelief
12 For the wordi' of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any two
edged sword, '^ piercing even to the divid-
ing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a discerner * of
the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is
not manifest in his sight: but all things
are naked « and opened unto the eyes of
him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great
high priest, that is passed" into the hea-
vens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold^
fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which
cannot be touched « with the feeling of
our infirmities ; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without *■ sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly ^ unto the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mer-
cy, and find grace to help in time of need.
-^ CHAPTER V.
Jd or every high jariest taken from
among men is ordained'" for men in
things pertaining to God, that he may
ofier both gifts and sacrifices for sins :
2 Who can ^have compassion on the
ignorant, and on them that are out of the
way ; for that he * himself also is com-
passed with infirmity.
3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for
the people, so* also for himself, to offer
for sms.
4 And « no man taketh this honour irnto
himself, but he that is called of God, as
loas Aaron.*
5 So also Christ s' glorified not himself
to be made an high priest ; but he that
said unto him,* Thou art my Son, to
day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place.
Thou* art a priest for ever after the or-
der of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he
had offered up prayers »» and suppHca-
tions, with strong crying and tears, unto
him that was able" to save him from
death, and was heard "n in that he feared ;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned
he obedience" by the things which he
suffered;
9 And 9 being made perfect, he became
the author of eternal salvation unto all
them that obey him ;
10 Called of God an high priest »' after
the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to
say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye
are dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be
teachers, ye have need that one teach you
again which he the fii-st principles of the
oracles of God ; and are become such as
have need of milk," and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk i^is
unskilful in the word of righteousness :

rr, CHAPTER VI.
1HEREF0EE,« leaving ^the prin-
ciples of the doctrine of Christ, let us
go on unto perfection ; not laying again
the foundation of repentance from* dead
works, and of faith*' toward Grod,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, * and of
laying on/ of hands, and of i' resurrection
of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if" God permit.
4 For it is impossible* for those who
were once enlightened, and have tasted
of the heavenly gift, and were made par-
takers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God,
and the powers of the worid to come,
6 If"» they shall fall away, to renew
them again unto repentance; seeing they
crucify to themselves the Sou of God
afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the
rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs meet for them ^by whom it
is dressed, receiveth blessing » from God :
8 But tliat which beareth thorns' and
briers is rejected, and is nigh imto curs-
ing ; whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better
things of you, and things that accompany
salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For"" God is not unrighteous to for-
get your work and labour of love, which
ye have shewed toward his name, in that
ye have ministered to the saints, and do
minister.
11 And we desire that eveiy one of you
do shew the same dihgence to the* full
assurance of hope unto the end :
12 That ye be not slothful," but fol-
lowers of them who through faith and
patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made promise to
Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying," Surely blessing I will bless
thee, and multiplying I wiU multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently en-
dured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater :
and an oath y for confirmation is to them
an end of all strife.
17 "Wherein God, willing more abun-
da_ntly to shew unto the heirs * of pro-
mise the immutability <' of his counsel,
'J confirmed it by an oath ;
18 That by two immutable things, in
which it tons impossible for God to <^ lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who
have fled for refuge to lay hold/ upon
the hope set before us :
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of
the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which
entereth into that within * the veil ;
20 Whither* the forerunner is for us
entered, even Jesus, made an high priest
for ever after the order of Melchisedec. *
^ CHAPTER VII.

unto the Son of God, abideth a priest
continually.
4 Now consider how great this man wo*,
unto whom even the patriarch Abraham
gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons
of Levi,* who receive the office of the
priesthood, have a commandment to take
tithes of tne people according to the law,
that is, of their brethren, though they
come out of the loins of Abraham :
6 But he, whose y descent is not counted
from them, received* tithes of Abraham,
and blessed him that had' the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the
less is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receive tithes ;
but there he receiveth them, of whom" it
is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who re-
ceiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his
father, when Melcliisedec met him.
11 IfP therefore perfection were by the
Levitical priesthood, (for under it the
people received the law,) what further
need was there that another priest should
rise after the order of Melchisedec, and
not be called after the order of Aaron ?
12 For the priesthood being changed,
there is made of necessity a change also
of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spo-
ken pertaineth to another tribe, of which
no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident* that our Lord
sprang out of Juda ; of which tribe Moses
spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for
that after the similitude of Melchisedec
there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a
carnal commandment, but after the power
of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth,"' Thou art a priest
for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of
the commandment going before, for the
weakness* and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law* made notiiing perfect,
f but the bringing in of a better hope did;
by the which'* we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an
oath he ^vas made x>riest :
21 (For those priests were made with-
out ^an oath; but this with an oath by
him that said unto him,* The Lord sware
and will not repent. Thou art a priest for
ever after the order of Melchisedec :)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety
of a betters' testament.
23 And they truly were many priests,
because they were not sufiered to con-
tinue by reason of death :
24 But this man, because he continueth
ever, hath " an unchangeable ' priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able"* also to save
them -^to the uttermost that come unto
God by him, seeing he ever liveth to
make intercession " for them.
26 For such an high priest became us,
wAo is holy,^ harmless, uudefiled, sepa-
rate from sinners, and made higher than
the heavens ;
27 Who needeth not dailj^, as those high
priests, to offer up sacrifice, first « for his
ownsins, and then for the people's : for this
he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests

which have infirmity ; but the word of the
oath, which was since the law, maketli the
Son, who is ^ consecrated for evermore.
nyy CHAPTER VIII.
-IM OW of the things which we have spoken
this is the sum : We have such an high
priest, who ' is set on the right hand of .the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens ;
2 A minister of Vthe sanctuary, « and
of the true tabernacle, which the Lord
pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to
offer gifts and sacrifices : wherefore it is
of necessity that this man have somewhat
also to offer. *
4 For if he were on earth, he should not
be a priest, seeing that ^there are priests
that offer gifts according to the law :
5 Who serve unto the example and sha-
dow" of heavenly things, as Moses was
admonished of God when he was about to
make the tabernacle: for. See, saith 116,9
that thou make all things according to the
pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more ex-
cellent " ministry, by how much also he is
the mediator of a better v covenant, which
was established upon better promises,
7 For if"* that first covenant had been
faultless, then should no place have been
sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he y saith,
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant with
the house of Israel and with the house of
Judah :
9 Not according to the covenant that I
made with their fathers in the day when
I took them by the hand to lead them out
of the land of Egypt; because they con-
tinued not in my covenant, and I regarded
them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel after those
days, saith the Lord ; I will ^ put my laws
into their mind, and write them m in their
hearts : and * I wiU be to them a God, and
they shall be to me a people :
11 And they shall not teach every man
his neighbour, and every man his brother,
saying. Know the Lord : for aU ^ shall
know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their un-
righteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new « covenant, he
hath made the first old. Now that which
decayeth and waxeth old is ready to
vanish away.
rp CHAPTER IX.
XHEN verily the first covenant had
also 'T ordinances of divine service, and
a worldly sanctuary.*
2 For there was a tabernacle * made ;
the first, wherein was the candlestick, and
the table,' and the showbread;*" which
is called P the sanctuary.
3 And after the second veil," the taber-
nacle which is called the Holiest of all ;
4 Which had the golden censer, " and the
ark* of the covenant overlaid round about
with gold, wherein ivas the golden' pot
that had manna, and Aaron's rod* that
budded, and the tables ' of the covenant ;
5 And over it the cherubims" of glory
shadowing the mercyseat: of which we
cannot now speak particularly.

dained, the priests" went always into the

tians assaying to do, were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho* fell
down, after they were compassed about
seven days.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab'' perished
not with them that vbeUeved not, when

. 32 And what shall I more say ? for the
time would fail me to tell of Gedeon,^^
and of Barak, A and of Samson,* and of
Jephthae;^ of David* also, and Samuel,*
and of the prophets ;

doms, wrought righteousness, obtained
promises,^ stopped the mouths of lions,?
34 Quenched the violence of fire,'" es-
caped* the edge of the sword, out of

hant in fight, turned to flight the armies

35 Women" received their dead raised
to life again: and others were tortured,
not accepting w dehverance; that they
might obtain a better resurrection :
36 And others had trial of cruel mock-
mgs and scourgings, yea, moreover, of
bonds* and imprisonment i^
37 They were stoned. « they were sawn
asunder, were tempted, were slain with
the sword : they wandered about in sheep-
skins and goatskins; being destitute,
afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:)
they wandered in deserts, and in moun-
tains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these aU, having obtained a
good report through faith, received not
the promise :
40 God having ^provided some better
thing for us, that they without us * should
not be made perfect.
^jrj CHAPTER XII.
VV HEREFORE seeing we also are com-
passed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay asides' every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience the race that
is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the ^author and
finisher of our faith; who, for the joy*
that was set before him, endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at
the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood,
striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhorta-
tion" which speaketh unto you as unto
children, My son, despise not thou the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of him :
6 For whom? the Lord loveth he chas-
teneth, and scourgeth every son whom he
receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth
with you as with sons; for what son* is
he whom the father chasteneth not ?
8 But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons.
9 Furtherniore, we have had fathers of
our fiesh, which corrected us, and we gave
them reverence : shall we not much rather
be in subjection unto the Father y of spi-
rits, and live ?

10 For they verily for a few days chas- ^--D. 64
tened us Rafter their own pleasure; but
he for our profit, that tve might be par-
takers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present
seemeth to be joyous, but grievous : never-
theless, afterward it yieldeth the peace-
able fruit '^ of righteousness unto them
which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up/ the hands which
hang down, and the feeble knees ;
13 And make 7 straight paths * for your
feet, lest that which is lame be turned out
of the way ; but let* it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace' with all men, and
holiness, without™ which no man shall
see the Lord :
15 Looking diligently" lest any man
^fail of the grace of God; lest any root?
of bitterness springing up trouble you,
and thereby many be defiled ;
16 Lest there be any fornicator,* or
profane person, as Esau, who* for one
morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward,
when he" would have inherited the bless-
ing, he Avas rejected: for he found no
^ place of repentance, though he sought
it carefully with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount "
that might be touched, and that burned
with fire, nor unto blackness, and dark-
ness, and tempest,
19 And the sound 9f a trumpet, and the
voice of words ; which voice * they that
heard, entreated that the word should
not be spoken to them any more :
20 (For they could not endure that
which was commanded. And* if so much
as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be
stoned, or thrust through with a dart :
21 And so terrible was the sight, that
Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake :)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion,
and unto the city « of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumer-
able company of angels,*
23 To the general assembly and church
of the firstborn,* which are -^written' in
heaven, and to God the Judge " of all, and
to the spirits of just men" made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator ? of the
new M- covenant, and to the blood « of
sprinkling, that speaketh better things
than t?iat of Aheh'
25 See that ye refuse not him that
speaketh. For if they escaped not who
refused him that spake on earth, much
more shall not we escape if we turn away
from him that speaJceth from heaven :
26 Whose voice then shook the earth:
but now he hath promised, saying, Yet*
once more I shake not the earth only, but
also heaven.
27 And this loord. Yet once more, signi-
fieth the removing of those things that
<^are shaken, as of things that are made,
that those things which cannot be shaken
may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom
which cannot be moved, let us "^have
grace, whereby we may serve God ac-
ceptably with reverence and godly fear :
29 For our" God is a consuming fire.

3 Remember them that are in bonds, « as
bound with them; and them which suffer
adversity, as being yourselves also in the
body.
4 Marriage* is honourable in all, and
the bed undefiled: but whoremongers'
and adulterers God will judge.
5 Let your conversation he without co-
vetousness; and he content* with such
things as ye have: for he hath said, I^'
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord '
is my helper, and I will not fear what
man shall do unto me.
7 Remember them which ^ have the rule
over you, who have spoken unto you the
word of God: whose faith foUow," con-
sidering the end of their conversation :
8 Jesus Christ the same' yesterday,
and to day, and for ever.
9 Be not*" carried about with divers and
strange doctrines: for it is a good thing
that the heart be established with grace;
not with meats, which have not profited
them that have been occupied therein.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have
no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose
blood is brought into the sanctuary by
the high priest for sin, are burned with-
out "^ the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might
sanctify the people with his own blood,
suffered without ^ the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him
without the camp, bearing* his reproach.
14 For here" have we no continuing
city, but we seek one to come.
15 By him'' therefore let us offer the
sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit'' of our lips, ^giving
thanks to his name.
16 But to do good, and to communi-
cate,/ forget not : for with such sacrifices o
God is well pleased.
17 Obey * them that " have the rule over
you, and submit yourselves : for they
watch "» for your souls, as they that must
give account; that they may do it with
joy, and not with grief: for that is un-
profitable for you.
18 Pray for us : for we trust we have
a good conscience,'' in all things willing
to live honestly.
19 But I beseech you the rather to do
this, that I may be restored to you the
sooner.
20 Now the God' of peace, that brought**
again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great Shepherd" of the sheep,'" through
the blood of the everlasting v covenant,
21 Make you perfect y in every good
work to do his wiU, P working in you*
that which is wellpleasing in his sight,
through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory
for ever and ever. Amen.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, sufier
the word of exhortation : for I have writ-
ten a letter unto you in few words.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy
is set at liberty ; with whom, if he come
shortly, I will see you.
24 Salute all them that have the rule
over you, and all the saints. They of
Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Written to the Hebrews from Italy by
Timothy.
The general Epistle of JAMES,
T CHAPTER I.
eJAMES, a servant* of G-od and of the
Lord Jesua Christ, to the twelve "^ tribes
which are scattered*^ abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy* when
ye fall into divers temptations ;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your
faith worketh/ patience.
4 But let patience^' have her perfect
work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him
ask of God, that* giveth to all men libe-
rally, and upbraideth not; and"* it shall
be given him.
6 But" let him ask in faith, nothing
wavering. For he that wavereth, is like
a wave of the sea, driven with the wind
and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he
shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in
all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree y re-
joice in that he is exalted :
10 But the rich, in that he is made low :
because as the flower of the grass *■ he
shall pass away.
11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a
burning heat, but it withereth the grass,
and the flower thereof faUeth, and the
grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so
also shall the rich man fade away in his
ways.
12 Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation : for when he is tried, he shall
receive the crown* of life, which" the
Lord hath promised to them that love
him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted,
I am tempted of God: for Grod cannot
be tempted with ^evil, neither tempteth
he any man :
14 But every man is tempted, when he
is drawn away of his own?' lust, and en-
ticed.
15 Then when lust hath* conceived,
it bringeth forth sin : and sin, when it is
finished, bringeth forth death.*
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every<^ good gift and every perfect
gift is from above, and cometh down from
the Father of lights, with whom/ is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of^ his own will begat he us with
the word of truth, that we should be a
kind of firstfruits' of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
let every man be swift to hear, slow' to
speak, slow"» to wrath :
20 For the wrath of man worketh not
the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart" all filthiness
and superfluity of naughtiness, and re-
ceive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers" of the word, and
not hearers only, deceiving your own
165
23 For if any be a hearer of the word,
and not a doer, he is like unto a man be-
holding his natural face in a glass :
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth
his way, and straightway forgetteth what
manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh* into the perfect
law of liberty,' and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a
doer of the work, this man' shaU be
blessed in his ^ deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be
religious, and bridle th not his tongue,"
but deceiveth his own heart, this man's
reHgion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before
God and the Father, is this. To visits the
fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep himself unspotted « from the
world.
■^j- CHAPTER IL
IVLY brethren, have not the faith of our
Lord Jesus Cnrist, the Lord of glory,
with respect* of persons.
2 For if there come unto your ^ assem-
bly a man with a gold ring, in goodly
apparel, and there come in also a poor
man in vile raiment ;
3 And ye have respect to him that
weareth the gay clothing, and say unto
him. Sit thou here ^in a good place; and
say to the poor. Stand thou there, or sit
here under my footstool :
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves,
and are become judges of evil thoughts ?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren," Hath
not God chosen the poor of this world
rich*" in faith, and heirs of *?the king-
dom* which he hath promised to them
that love him ?
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do
not rich men oppress you, and draw you
before the judgment seats ?
7 Do not they blaspheme that" worthy
name by the which ye are called ?
8 If ye fulfil the royal law, according
to the scripture,*' Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself, ye do well :
9 But if je have respect* to persons,
ye commit sin, and are convinced of the
law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole
law and yet offend in one point, he* is
guilty of aU.
11 For ^he that said,* Do not commit
adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if
thou commit no adultery, yet if thou
kiU, thou art become a transgressor of
the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that
shall be judged by the law" of liberty.
13 For he^ shall have judgment with-
out mercy, that hath shewed no mercy ; and

7 Likewise, ye husbands," dwell with
them according to knowledge, giving ho-
nour unto the wife, as unto the weaker
vessel, and as being heirs together of the
gra(!e of life ; that your prayers be not
hindered.
8 Fiuallj--, he ye all of one mind « having
compassion one of another ; Y love/ as
brethren, he pitiful, he courteous :
9 Not rendering* evil for evil, or railing
for railing; but contrariwise blessing;
knowing that ye are thereunto called,
that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he* that will love life, and see
good days, let him refrain his tongue from
evil, and his lips that they speak no guile :
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good ;
let him seek peace, and ensue it,
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the
righteous, and his ears are open unto their
prayers : but the face of the Lord is
? against them that do evil.
13 And whoP is he that will harm you,
if ye be followers of that which is good ?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness'
sake, happy are ye : and be ' not afraid of
their terror, neither be troubled ;
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your
hearts; and he ready" always to give an
answer to every man that asketh you a
reason of the hope that is in you with
meekness and <« fear :
16 Having a good conscience; that,
whereas they speak evil of you, as of evil-
doers, they may be ashamed that falsely
accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 For if is better, if the will of God be
so, that ye suffer for well doing than for
evil doing.
18 For Christy also hath once suffered
for sins, the just <» for the unjust, that he
might bring us to God, being put to death *
in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit :
19 By which also he went and preached
unto the spirits in prison ; «
20 Which sometime were disobedient,
when once/ the longsuffering of God
waited in the days of Noah, while the
ark was a preparing, wherein few, that
is, eight souls, were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto, even bap-
tism,' doth also now save us, (not the
puttmg away of the filth of the flesh, but
the answer of a good conscience"* toward
God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ :
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on
the right hand of God; angels » and au-
thorities and powers being made subject
unto him.
CHAPTER IV.
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suf-
fered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind : « for he *"
that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased
from sin;
2 That he* no longer should live the
rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of
men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time" past of our life may
suffice us to have wrought the will of the
Gentiles, when we walked in lascivious-
ness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings,
banquetings, and abominable idolatries ;
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye
run not with them to the same excess of
riot, speaking evil* of you :
5 Who shall give account to him that is
ready to judge the quick and the dead.
Motives to Christian fortitude.

Duties of elders and their JtocTcs.
6 Eor, for this cause was the gospel
preached also to them that are dead, that
they might be judged" according to men
in the flesh, but live* according to Grod
in the spirit.
7 But the end*' of aU things is at hand:
be ye therefore sober, and watch « unto
prayer.
8 And above aU things have fervent
charity among yourselves: fors' charity
y shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality* one to another,
without grudging.
10 As every man hath received »• the
gift, even so minister the same one to an-
other, as good stewards" of the manifold
grace of God.
11 If any man speak, let him speaJc as
the oracles of Grod; if any man minister,
let him do it as of the ability which Grod
giveth: that God in all'" things may be
glorified through Jesus Christ, to* \^hom
be praise and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.
12 Beloved, think it not strange con-
cerning the fiery" trial which is to try
you, as though some strange thing hap-
pened unto you :
13 But rejoice,* inasmuch as ye are
partakers of Christ's sufferings ; that,
when' his glory shaU be revealed, ye
may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If* ye be reproached for the name
of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of
glory and of God resteth upon you : on
their part he is evil spoken of, but on
your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a mur-
derer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or
as a busybody in other men's matters.
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian,
let him not be ashamed; but let him
glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment
must begin* at the house of God: and
if it first begin at us, what shall the end
he of them that obey not the gospel of
God?
18 And if"* the righteous scarcely be
saved, where shall the ungodly and the
sinner appear ?
19 Wherefore, let them that suffer ac-
cording to the wiU of God, commit" the

XHE elders which are among you I
exhort, who am also an elder, and a
witness of the sufferings of Christ, and
also a partaker of the glory <* that shall
be revealed :
2 Feed/ the flock of God ^ which is
among you, taking the oversight thereof
not by constraint, but willingly ; * not for
filthy lucre,' but of a ready mind ;
3 Neither as ^ being lords over God^s
heritage, but being ensamples ' to the
flock.
4 And when the chief" Shepherd shall
appear, ye shaU receive a crown ^ of
glory that fadeth not away.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit your-
selves unto the elder : yea, all « of you be
subject one to another, and be clothed with
humility: for God* resisteth the proud,
and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble" yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that he may
exalt you in due time :
7 Casting"" all your care upon him,
for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as J' a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour:
9 Whom resist," stedfast in the faith,
knowing that^ the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are
in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath
called us unto his eternal glory by Christ
Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,'
make you perfect,*^ stablish,* strengthen,-^
settles' you.
11 To him he glory* and dominion for
ever and ever. Amen.
12 By Silvanus,» a faithful brother unto
you, as I suppose, I have written briefly,
exhorting, and testifying that this is the
true grace of God wherein ye ' stand.
13 The church that is at Babylon,
elected together with you, saluteth you;
and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Greet" ye one another with a kiss
of charity. Peace p he with you all that
are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

The Second Epistle general of PETER.
^N CHAPTER I.
felMON ^ Peter, a servant and an apos-
tle of Jesus Christ, to them that have
obtained like" precious faith with us
through the righteousness of Y God and
our Saviour Jesus Christ :
2 Grace and peace* be multiplied unto
you through the knowledge of God, and
of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath
given unto us all* things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the know-
ledge of him that hath called us ^ to glory
and virtue :^
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises;* that by
these ye might be partakers * of the divine
nature, having escaped"* the corruption
that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue;" and to virtue
knowledge ; p
6 And to knowledge temperance ; 5 and
to temperance patience ;*■ and to patience
godliness ; »
7 And to godliness brotherly kind-
ness ; * and to brotherly kindness cha-
rity."
8 For if these things be in you, and
abound, they make you that ye shall nei-
ther he ^barren nor unfruitful"' in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is
blind,* and cannot see afar off, and hath
forgotten that he was purged from his
old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence* to make your calling and
election sure : for « if ye do these things,
ye shall never fall :
11 For so an entrance shall be minis-
tered unto you abundantly into the ever-
lasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to
put you always in remembrance of these
things, though ye know them^ and be
established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am
in this tabernacle, to stir* you up, by
putting yon in remembrance ;
14 Knowing that shortly I must put
off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord
Jesus Christ hath shewed me.*
15 Moreover, I will endeavour that ye
may be able after my decease to have
these things always in remembrance.
16 For we have not followed cunningly
devised fables,* when we made known
unto you the power and coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnes-
ses "* of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father
honour and glory, when there came such
a voice to him from the excellent glory.
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased.

5 For this they willingly are ignorant
of, that * by the word of Grod the heavens
were of old, and the earth ^ standing out
of the water « and in the water :
6 Whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water,** perished :
7 But the heavens and the earth which
are now, by the same word are kept in
store, reserved unto fire* against the day
of judgment and perdition of ungodly
men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this
one thing, that one day is with the Lord
as a thousand years, and as' thousand
years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack* concerning his
promise, as some men count slackness ;
but is longsufiering ' to us-ward, not
willing* that any should perish, but that
all should "• come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief*' in the night ; in the which the
heavens P shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat; the earth also, and the
works that are therein, shall be burned
up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall
be dissolved, what manner of persons
ought ye to be in all holy conversation
and godhness ;
12 Looking for*" and f hasting unto the
coming of the day of God, wherein the
heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt* with fer-
vent heat ?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new" heavens and a
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteous-
ness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye
look for such things, be diligent* that ye
may be found of him in peace, without
spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering
of our Lord is salvation;* even as our
beloved brother Paul also, according to
the wisdom given unto him, hath written
unto you ; .
16 As also in all his epistles,* speaking
in them of these things; in which are
some things hard to be understood, which
they that are unlearned and unstable
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures,
unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye
know these things before, beware lest ye
also, being led away with the error of the
wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow* in grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. To himi' be glory, both now and
for ever. Amen.

led, of the Word of life ;
2 (For the life was manifested, and we
have seen it, and bear witness, and shew un-
to you that eternal life,/ which was with
the Father, and was manifested uuto us ;)
3 That which we have seen and heard
declare we unto you, that ye also may
have fellowship with us: and truly our
fellowship^ is with the Father, and with
his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we unto you,
that " your joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have
heard of him, and declare unto you, that Grod
is hght, •■ and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship
with him, and walk in darkness, we lie,
and do not the truth :
7 JBut if we walk ^ in the light, as he is
in the light, we have fellowship one with
another, and the blood* of Jesus Christ
his Son cleanseth us from aU sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, ^ we de-
ceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess * our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse * us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we
inake him a liar, and his word is not in us.
-^j. CHAPTER II.
IVJLY little children, these things write I
unto 5^ou, that ye sin not. And if any
man sin, we have an advocate/ with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous :
2 And he is the propitiations' for our
sins : and not for our's only, but also for
the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know
him, if we keep * his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and
keepeth not his commandments, is a
liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him
verily is the love oi Cod perfected: here-
by know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth™ in him,
ought himself also so to walk," even
as he walked.
7 Brethren, I wi-ite no new command-
ment unto you, but an old command-
ment, which ye had from the beginning.
The old commandment is the word which
ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new 9 commandment I write
unto you ; which thing is true in him and
in you, because the darkness »" is past, and
the true light now shineth.
9 He that saith he is in the light, 'and
hateth his brothei', is in darkness* even
until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth
in the light, and there is none Y occasion
of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in
darkness, and walketh" in darkness, and
knoweth not whither he goeth, because
tliat darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children,
because your sins are forgiven you for
his name's v sake.

1 3 I write unto you, fathers, because ye
have known him* that is from the begin-
ning. I write unto you, young men, be-
cause ye have overcome the wicked one.
I write unto j'ou, little children, because
ye have known the Fatlier. «
14 I have written unto you, fathers, be-
cause ye have known him that is from tho
beginning. I have written unto you,
young men, because ye are strong, s* and
the word of Grod abideth * in you, and ye
have overcome » the wicked one.
15 Love'' not the world, neither the
things that are in the world. If"* any
man love the world, the love of the Fa-
ther is not in him.
16 For all that is in the Avorld, the lust
of the flesh," and the lust of the^ eyes,
and the pride « of life, is not of the Fa-
ther, but is of the Avorld.
17 And* the world passeth away, and
the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of Cod abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last" time:
and as ye have heard "^ that antichrist
shall come, even now are there many
antichrists ; whereby we know that it is
the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they
were not of us ; for " if they had been of
us, they would no doubt have continued
with us : but thei/ went out, that they
might be made manifest*' that they were
not aU of us.
20 But ye have an unction "^ from tho
Holy One, and ye know « all things.
21 I have not written unto you because
ye know not the truth, but because ye
know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar, but he that* denieth
that Jesus is the Christ ? He is antichrist,
that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 AVhosoevier* denieth the Son, the
same hath not the Father : [but] he that
acJcnoivledgeth the Son, hath the Father also.
24 Let' that therefore abide in you,
which ye have heard from the beginning.
If that which ye have heard from the be-
ginning shaR remain in you, ye also shall
continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath
promised us, even eternal " life.
26 These things have I written unto you
concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have
received of him abideth in you, and ye
need not that any man teach you: but as
the same anointing teacheth^ you of aU
things, and is truth, and is no lie, and
even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in ^him.
28 And now, little children, abide in
him; that, when he shall appear, we may
have confidence, and not be ashamed be-
fore him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous,
Sye know that* every one that doeth
righteousness is born of him.
-jj CHAPTER III.
JdEHOLD, what manner of love* the
Father hath bestowed upon us, that we
should be called the sons" of God:
therefore the world* knoweth us not,
because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons* of
Criterion of the netv birth.
1 JOHN, IV.
Christian love enforced.
God ; and it doth not yet appear what we
shall be : but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him ; «' for we shall
see '^ him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in
him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin trans-
gresseth also the law : for sin is the
transgression of the law.
5 And ye know/ that he was manifested
to take away our sins ; and in him is no sin,
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth
not: whosoever f sinneth, hath not seen
him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive
you : he * that doeth righteousness is
righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He ' that committeth sin is of the
devil ; for the devil sinneth from the
beginning. For^ this purpose the Son of
God was manifested, that*" he might
destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever" is born of God doth not
commit sin; for his seeds remaineth in
him : and he cannot sin, because he is
born of God,
10 In this the children of God are mani-
fest, and the children of the devil : whoso-
ever doeth not righteousness, is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the ^message that ye
heard from the beginning, that" we
should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, " who was of that wicked
one, and slew his brother. And wherefore
slew he him? Because his own works
were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the
world ^ hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from
death unto life, because we love the bre-
thren. He" that loveth not his brother
abideth in death.
15 Whosoever*^ hateth his brother is a
murderer: and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby/ perceive we the love of
God, because he laid down his life for us :
and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren.
17 But* whoso hath this world's good,
and seeth his brother have need, and shut-
teth up his bowels of compassion from him,
how* dwelleth the love of God in him ?
18 My little children, let* us not love
in word, neither in tongue; but in deed
and in truth.
19 And hei'eby' we know that we are
of the truth, and shall ^ assure our hearts
before him,
20 For if our heart condemn us, God
is greater than our heart, and knoweth
all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart'* condemn us
not, then have we confidence^ toward God.
22 And whatsoever « we ask, we receive
of him, because we keep his command-
ments, and do those things that are pleas-
ing in his sight.
23 And this* is^ his commandment.
That we should beheve on the name of
his Son Jesus Chi'ist, and love one an-
other, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he" that keepeth his command-
ments dwelleth in him, and he in him.
And hereby* we know that he abideth in
us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

of all nations," and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, stood before the throne, and
before the Lamb, clothed* with white
robes, and palms * in their hands ;
10 And cried ^ with a loud voice, say-
ing, Salvation* to our God which sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about
the throne, and about the elders and the
four beasts, and fell before the throne on
their faces, and worshipped G-od,
12 Saying,"* Amen: Blessing, and glorj^
and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and ho-
nour, and power, and might, he unto our
God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered,
saying unto me. What are these which
are arrayed in white robes ? and whence
came they ?
14 And I said unto him. Sir, thou know-
est. And he said to me, These are they
which came out of great tribulation,* and
have washed' their robes, and made them
white in the blood"* of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne
of God, and serve him day and night iu
his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell* among them.
16 They shall hunger y no more, neither
thirst any more ; neither shall the sun
light on them, nor any heat.*
17 For the Lamb, which is in the midst
of the throne, shall feed" them, and shall
lead them unto living fountains of waters :
and G-od shall wipe" away all tears from
their eyes.
. CHAPTER VIII.
ATS"D when he had opened the seventh
seal,* there was silence in heaven about
the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which
stood * before God ; and to them were
given seven trumpets.*
3 And another angel came and stood at
the altar, having a golden censer ; and
there was given unto him much incense,
that he should V offer it with the prayers '
of all saints upon the golden"* altar which
was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense," which
came with the prayers of the saints, as-
cended up before God out of the angel's
hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and
filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it
5 into the earth : and there were voices,"
and thunderings, and lightnings, and an
earthquake.*
6 And the seven angels which had the
seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there"
followed hail and fire mingled with blood,
and they were cast upon the earth: and
the third part of trees"* was burnt up,
and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and
as it were a great mountain* burning
with fire was cast into the sear^ and the
third part of the sea became blood ;*
9 And the third part of the creatures
which were in the sea, and had life, died ;
and the third part of the ships were de-
stroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and
there fell" a great star from heaven, burn-
ing as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the
third part of the rivers, and upon the
foimtains of waters :
Woe of locusts.
REVELATION, XI.
The seven thunders.
11 And the name of the star is called
Wormwood:*' and the third part of the
waters'^ became wormwood ; and many
men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and
the third part of the sun-^ was smitten, and
the third part of the moon, and the third
part of the stars; so as the third part of
them was darkened, and the day shone
not for a third part of it, and the night
likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel
flyings' through the midst of heaven, say-
ing with a loud voice. Woe, woe, woe, to
the inhabiters of the earth, by reason of
the other voices of the trumpet of the
three angels, which are yet to sound I
. CHAPTER IX.
A.ND the fifth angel sounded, and I
saw a star"* fall from heaven unto the
earth: and to him was given the key of
the bottomless pit."
2 And he opened the bottomless pit;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as
the smoke of a great furnace ; and the sun
and the air were darkened^ by reason of
the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke
locusts'" upon the earth: and unto them
was given power, as the scorpions* of the
earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them" that
they should not hurt the grass of the earth,
neither any green thing, neither any tree ;
but only those men which have not the
seal" of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they
should not kill them, but that they should
be tormented five months: and their tor-
ment was as the torment of a scorpion,
when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men^ seek
death, and shall not find it ; and shall de-
sire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes" of the locusts were
like unto horses prepared unto battle;
and on their heads tvere as it were* crowns
like gold, and their faces'* were as the
faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women,
and their teeth/ were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were
breastplates of iron; and the sound of
their wings was as the sound of* chariots
of many horses running to battle.
10 Aiid they had tails like imto scor-
pions, and there were stings in their tails :
and' their power was to hurt men five
months.
11 And they had a king« over them,
ivhich is the angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is
Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath
his name ^ ApoUyon.
12 One" woe is past ; and, behold, there
come two woes more hereafter.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I
heard a voice from the four horns of the
golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had
the trumpet, Loose the four angels which
are bound in the great river Euphrates.*
15 And the four angels were loosed,
which were prepared 7 for an hour, and a
day, and a month, and a year, for to slay
the third »■ part of men.
16 And the number of the army» of the
horsemen were two hundred thousand

and an earthquake,'' and great hail.
. CHAPTER XII.
A "N'T) there appeared a great y wonder
in heaven; a woman ^ clothed with the
sun,* and the moon under her feet, and
upon her head a crown of twelve stars :
2 And she being with child cried, travail-
ing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another V wonder
in heaven; and behold a great red dra-
gon," having seven heads and ten horns,
and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail? drew the third part of the
stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth : and the dragon stood before the wo-
man which was ready to be deUvered, for
to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And* she brought forth a man child,
who** was to rule aU nations with a rod
of iron : and her child was caught up unto
God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilder-
ness, where she hath a place prepared of
God, that they should feed her there* a
thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven : Michael
and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent,* called the Devil,'' and
Satan,* which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him.^
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in
heaven. Now/ is come salvation, and
strength, and the kingdom of our God, and
the power of his Christ : for the accuser of
our brethren is cast down, which accused
them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame* him by the
blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony ; and they loved not their
lives' unto the death.
12 Therefore'" rejoice, ye heavens, and
ye that dwell in them. Woe" to the in-
habiters of the earth, and of the sea ! for
the devil is come down unto you, having
great wrath, because^ he knoweth that he
hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he
was cast unto the earth, he persecuted
the woman which brought forth the man
child.
14 And to the woman were given two
wings* of a great eagle, that she might fly
into the wilderness, into her place, where
she is nourished for a time, and times, and
half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his
mouth water as a flood,* after the woman,
that he might cause her to be carried
away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed up the flood which the dragon
cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the
woman,* and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.

having'^ seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his
heads the ^ name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was ^ like
unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth
of a lion : and the dragon/ gave him his
power, and his seat,* and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads, as it were
y wounded to death; and his deadly
wound was healed: and all the world
wondered* after the beast.
4 And they 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
mouths speaking great things and blas-
phemies ; and power was given unto him
to ^continue forty" and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blas-
phemy against Grod, 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 v was given him over aU
kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not writ-
ten in the book <» of life of the Lamb slain
from* the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He " that leadeth into captivity shall
go into captivity : he « that killeth with
the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience/ and the faith of the
saints.
11 And I beheld another* beast coming
up out of the earth ; and he had two horns
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of
the first beast before him, and causeth the
earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed. ^
13 And he doeth great wonders," so that
he maketh fire come down from heaven
on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on
the earth by the means of those miracles
which he had power to do in the sight of
the beast; saying to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should make an image
to the beast, which had tlie^ wound by a
sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give ^ life unto
the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak, and cause
that as many as would not worship •■ the
image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and
great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
K receive a mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads :
17 And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or the name of
the beast, or the number" of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the
beast : for it is the number of a man ; and his
number is six hundred threescore and six.

GOSPEL, The glad tidings of sal-

for in them ye think ye have eter-
nal life : and they are they which
testify of me," Jno. 5. 39 ;— " To him
give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever be-
lieveth in him shall receive remis-
sion of .sins," Ac. 10. 43;—" Neither
is there salvation in any other : for
there is none other name under
heaven given among men, where-
by we must be saved," Ac. 4. 12; —
"And as Moses lifted up the ser-
pent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of man be lifted up :
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal
life. For (jod so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have ever-
lasting life. For God sent not his
Son into the world to condemn the
world ; but that the world through
him might be saved. He that be-
lieveth on him is not condemned ;
but he that believeth not is con-
demned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God. And
this is the condemnation, that light
is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil,"
