Jacob 001- Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 002- And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 003- And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 004- And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 005- And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 006- But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. 007- And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. 008- Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. 009- And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; 010- The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. 011- And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi. 012- Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: 013- And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 014- And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 015- Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: 016- These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. 017- And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people. 018- And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren. 019- And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: 020- And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 021- And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 022- And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD. 023- And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 024- And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 025- And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 026- And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. 027- And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 028- And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. 029- And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: 030- And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 031- And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 032- And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 033- And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 034- Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

Jacob 001- And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. 002- And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: 003- Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; 004- And make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. 005- And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 006- And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, 007- Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. 008- Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 009- Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory meat for thy father, such as he loveth: 010- And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. 011- And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: 012- My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. 013- And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 014- And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory meat, such as his father loved. 015- And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: 016- And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: 017- And she gave the savory meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 018- And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? 019- And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. 020- 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. 021- And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. 022- And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. 023- And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. 024- And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 025- And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will 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. 026- And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 027- And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed: 028- Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 029- Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. 030- 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. 031- And he also had made savory 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. 032- And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. 033- And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed. 034- And when Esau heard 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. 035- And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 036- 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? 037- 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? 038- And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 039- And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; 040- 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. 041- And Esau 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. 042- And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: 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. 043- Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; 044- And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; 045- 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? 046- And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?

Jacob 001- And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 002- Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. 003- And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 004- And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. 005- And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. 006- When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, 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; 007- And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram; 008- And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; 009- Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife. 010- And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. 011- And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 012- 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 descending on it. 013- And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 014- 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 families of the earth be blessed. 015- And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 016- And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 017- And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. 018- And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. 019- And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. 020- And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 021- So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 022- And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

Jacob 001- Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east. 002- 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 was upon the well's mouth. 003- And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place. 004- And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 005- And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 006- And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 007- And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 008- And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep. 009- And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them. 010- And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his 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. 011- And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 012- And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father. 013- And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 014- And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 015- And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 016- And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 017- Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored. 018- And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 019- And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 020- And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. 021- And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 022- And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 023- And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. 024- And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. 025- And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was 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? 026- And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 027- Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 028- And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. 029- And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. 030- And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 031- And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 032- And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. 033- And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 034- 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 sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 035- And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

Jacob 001- And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. 002- 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? 003- And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her. 004- And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. 005- And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 006- And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. 007- And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. 008- And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. 009- When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 010- And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. 011- And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. 012- And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son. 013- And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher. 014- And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes. 015- And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? 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. 016- And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, 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. 017- And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 018- And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. 019- And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. 020- And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. 021- And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. 022- And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 023- And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 024- And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son. 025- And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. 026- Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee. 027- And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. 028- And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. 029- And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. 030- For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? 031- 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 flock. 032- I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled 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. 033- 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. 034- And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. 035- And he removed that day the he goats that were ring-streaked 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. 036- And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. 037- And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. 038- 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. 039- And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted. 040- And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle. 041- 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. 042- But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. 043- And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

Jacob 001- And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory. 002- And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. 003- And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. 004- And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, 005- And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. 006- And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. 007- And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. 008- If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ring-streaked. 009- Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. 010- And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled. 011- And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. 012- And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. 013- I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. 014- And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? 015- Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 016- For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 017- Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 018- 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 Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 019- And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's. 020- And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 021- So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. 022- And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. 023- And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 024- And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 025- Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 026- And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? 027- Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? 028- And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 029- 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. 030- And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 031- And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 032- With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. 033- And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. 034- Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. 035- And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images. 036- And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 037- Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. 038- This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 039- That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 040- Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 041- Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 042- Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight. 043- And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? 044- Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 045- And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 046- And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 047- And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. 048- And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 049- And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. 050- If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. 051- And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee: 052- This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. 053- The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. 054- Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. 055- And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.

Jacob 001- And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 002- And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. 003- And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 004- And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now: 005- And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. 006- And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 007- Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands; 008- And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. 009- And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 010- I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. 011- Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. 012- And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. 013- And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; 014- Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, 015- Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals. 016- And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. 017- And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee? 018- Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us. 019- And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. 020- And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me. 021- So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. 022- And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 023- And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 024- And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 025- And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 026- And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 027- And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 028- And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 029- And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. 030- And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 031- And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 032- Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

Jacob 001- And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. 002- And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. 003- And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. 004- And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. 005- And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. 006- Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 007- And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 008- And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. 009- And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. 010- And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. 011- Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. 012- And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. 013- And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. 014- Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. 015- And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. 016- So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. 017- And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. 018- And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city. 019- And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money. 020- And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.

Jacob 001- And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 002- And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. 003- And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. 004- And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. 005- And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come. 006- And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. 007- And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter: which thing ought not to be done. 008- And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. 009- And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 010- And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. 011- And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give. 012- Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. 013- And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: 014- And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us: 015- But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised; 016- Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 017- But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. 018- And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son. 019- And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father. 020- And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, 021- These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. 022- Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised. 023- Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. 024- And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city. 025- And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. 026- And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out. 027- The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. 028- They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, 029- And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. 030- And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. 031- And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?

Jacob 001- And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 002- Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 003- And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 004- And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 005- And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. 006- So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. 007- And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 008- But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth. 009- And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. 010- And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 011- And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 012- And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. 013- And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 014- And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. 015- And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel. 016- And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor. 017- And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 018- And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. 019- And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. 020- And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. 021- And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. 022- And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 023- The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 024- The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: 025- And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 026- And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram. 027- And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 028- And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. 029- And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Jacob 001- Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 002- Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 003- And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 004- And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; 005- And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. 006- And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. 007- For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. 008- Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 009- And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: 010- These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. 011- And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 012- And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife. 013- And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife. 014- And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. 015- These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, 016- Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah. 017- And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife. 018- And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife. 019- These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes. 020- These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, 021- And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 022- And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna. 023- And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 024- And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. 025- And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. 026- And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. 027- The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. 028- The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran. 029- These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, 030- Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir. 031- And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. 032- And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 033- And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 034- And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. 035- And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. 036- And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. 037- And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. 038- And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 039- And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. 040- And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, 041- Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, 042- Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 043- Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.

Jacob 001- And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 002- These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. 003- Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. 004- And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. 005- And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 006- And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 007- For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 008- And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 009- And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 010- And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 011- And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. 012- And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. 013- And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I. 014- And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 015- And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 016- And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 017- And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. 018- And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 019- And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. 020- Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 021- And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 022- And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again. 023- And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him; 024- And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 025- And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 026- And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 027- Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. 028- Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. 029- And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. 030- And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? 031- And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; 032- And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. 033- And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. 034- And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 035- And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. 036- And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.

Jacob 001- Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? 002- And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die. 003- And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. 004- But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him. 005- And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 006- And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 007- And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. 008- And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. 009- And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 010- And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. 011- We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies. 012- And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 013- And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not. 014- And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies: 015- Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither. 016- Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies. 017- And he put them all together into ward three days. 018- And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God: 019- If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses: 020- But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so. 021- And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. 022- And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required. 023- And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter. 024- And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes. 025- Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them. 026- And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence. 027- And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. 028- And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us? 029- And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying, 030- The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 031- And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies: 032- We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan. 033- And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone: 034- And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land. 035- And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. 036- And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me. 037- And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again. 038- And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

Jacob 001- Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. 002- And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 003- And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. 004- And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 005- Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 006- For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. 007- And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 008- So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 009- Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: 010- And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: 011- And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty. 012- And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 013- And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither. 014- And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 015- Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him. 016- And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 017- And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan; 018- And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land. 019- Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. 020- Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 021- And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. 022- To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. 023- And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way. 024- So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way. 025- And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, 026- And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. 027- And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: 028- And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

Jacob 001- And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 002- And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 003- And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: 004- I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 005- And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 006- And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him: 007- His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. 008- And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn. 009- And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. 010- And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman. 011- And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 012- And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul. 013- And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron. 014- And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 015- These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. 016- And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli. 017- And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel. 018- These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls. 019- The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin. 020- And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. 021- And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 022- These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. 023- And the sons of Dan; Hushim. 024- And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem. 025- These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. 026- All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six; 027- And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. 028- And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 029- And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. 030- And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. 031- And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 032- And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. 033- And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 034- That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

Jacob 001- Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen. 002- And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh. 003- And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers. 004- They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. 005- And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee: 006- The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle. 007- And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 008- And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou? 009- And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. 010- And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. 011- And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. 012- And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families. 013- And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. 014- And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 015- And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth. 016- And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 017- And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. 018- When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: 019- Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. 020- And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's. 021- And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. 022- Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands. 023- Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 024- And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. 025- And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants. 026- And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's. 027- And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. 028- And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years. 029- And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt: 030- But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said. 031- And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.

Jacob 001- And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 002- And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 003- And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 004- And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. 005- And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 006- And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. 007- And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem. 008- And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these? 009- And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them. 010- Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. 011- And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed. 012- And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 013- And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him. 014- And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. 015- And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, 016- The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. 017- And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. 018- And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. 019- And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 020- And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 021- And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 022- Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

Jacob 001- And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 002- Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 003- Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 004- Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. 005- Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. 006- O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall. 007- Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. 008- Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. 009- Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 010- The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 011- 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: 012- His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. 013- 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. 014- Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: 015- And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute. 016- Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. 017- Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. 018- I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. 019- Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. 020- Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. 021- Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. 022- Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 023- The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: 024- 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:) 025- Even by the God of thy father, 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: 026- The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. 027- Benjamin shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. 028- All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. 029- And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 030- In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace. 031- There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 032- The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. 033- And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.

Jacob 001- And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. 002- And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 003- And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days. 004- And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, 005- My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again. 006- And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. 007- And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 008- And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. 009- And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. 010- And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 011- And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan. 012- And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them: 013- For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. 014- And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. 015- And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him. 016- And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 017- So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 018- And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 019- And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 020- But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 021- Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. 022- And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 023- And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees. 024- And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 025- And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. 026- So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Jacob 001- Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. 002- Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 003- Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 004- Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 005- And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. 006- And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. 007- And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 008- Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. 009- And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 010- Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. 011- Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. 012- But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. 013- And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor: 014- And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor. 015- And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: 016- And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 017- But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. 018- And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? 019- And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. 020- Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 021- And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. 022- And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Jacob 001- And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 002- And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 003- And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 004- And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. 005- And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 006- And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. 007- Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 008- And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 009- And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it. 010- And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. 011- And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 012- And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 013- And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 014- And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. 015- Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well. 016- Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 017- And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 018- And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? 019- And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock. 020- And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread. 021- And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 022- And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. 023- And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. 024- And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 025- And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

Jacob 001- Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 002- And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 003- And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 004- And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 005- And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 006- Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. 007- And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 008- And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 009- Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 010- Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 011- And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 012- And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. 013- And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 014- And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 015- And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. 016- Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt: 017- And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. 018- And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. 019- And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. 020- And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. 021- And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty. 022- But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

Jacob 001- And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 002- And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 003- And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. 004- And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: 005- That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. 006- And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. 007- And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. 008- And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 009- And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land. 010- And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 011- And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 012- Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 013- And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 014- And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 015- And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 016- And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. 017- And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs. 018- And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 019- And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 020- And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 021- And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 022- And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: 023- And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. 024- And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 025- Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 026- So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision. 027- And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him. 028- And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. 029- And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 030- And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 031- And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Jacob 001- Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. 002- And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: 003- And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 004- And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 005- And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. 006- Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 007- And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 008- And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD. 009- And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. 010- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 011- Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. 012- And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips? 013- And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 014- These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben. 015- And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon. 016- And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years. 017- The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. 018- And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years. 019- And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations. 020- And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years. 021- And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. 022- And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri. 023- And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 024- And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites. 025- And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families. 026- These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. 027- These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron. 028- And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, 029- That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee. 030- And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

Jacob 001- In 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. 002- For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. 003- And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 004- Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 005- Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 006- 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. 007- And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. 008- And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. 009- And the LORD 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 LORD. 010- And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 011- And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. 012- 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: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: 013- There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. 014- And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 015- And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. 016- 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 all the people that was in the camp trembled. 017- And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 018- And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 019- And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 020- And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. 021- And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. 022- And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. 023- And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. 024- And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. 025- So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

Jacob 001- And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people 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 thy seed will I give it: 002- And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 003- Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way. 004- And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. 005- For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 006- And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 007- 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 congregation, which was without the camp. 008- And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 009- And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. 010- 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. 011- 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 man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 012- And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: 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. 013- Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 014- And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 015- And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 016- 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? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. 017- And the LORD 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. 018- And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. 019- And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 020- And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 021- And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 022- And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 023- And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Jacob 001- Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. 002- Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 003- If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 004- Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 005- And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 006- And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 007- And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 008- And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 009- For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 010- And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. 011- And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 012- And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 013- I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 014- But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 015- And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 016- I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 017- And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 018- And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 019- And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 020- And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 021- And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 022- I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate. 023- And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; 024- Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 025- And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 026- And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. 027- And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 028- Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 029- And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 030- And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 031- And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 032- And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 033- And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 034- Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 035- As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 036- 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 shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 037- And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 038- And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 039- And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 040- If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 041- And that I also have walked contrary 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: 042- Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 043- The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while 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. 044- 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 utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. 045- 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. 046- These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Jacob 001- And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 002- And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 003- And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. 004- And 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. 005- And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 006- And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 007- 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. 008- How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? 009- For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. 010- Who 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! 011- 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. 012- And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth? 013- 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. 014- And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 015- And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 016- And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. 017- 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 LORD spoken? 018- And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 019- God 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? 020- Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 021- He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 022- God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. 023- Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! 024- Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. 025- And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 026- But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do? 027- And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. 028- And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. 029- And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 030- And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

Jacob 001- And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 002- And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him. 003- And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 004- He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 005- How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! 006- As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. 007- He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 008- God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 009- He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. 010- And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times. 011- Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor. 012- And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, 013- If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak? 014- And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. 015- And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 016- He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 017- I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 018- And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. 019- Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. 020- And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever. 021- And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. 022- Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 023- And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! 024- And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever. 025- And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

Jacob 001- Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle; 002- The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying, 003- Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 004- Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle: 005- Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan. 006- And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? 007- And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? 008- Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land. 009- For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them. 010- And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying, 011- Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: 012- Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. 013- And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed. 014- And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. 015- For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. 016- And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones: 017- But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 018- We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. 019- For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward. 020- And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war, 021- And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him, 022- And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. 023- But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. 024- Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. 025- And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. 026- Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: 027- But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith. 028- So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel: 029- And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession: 030- But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 031- And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. 032- We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours. 033- And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about. 034- And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 035- And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, 036- And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep. 037- And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, 038- And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded. 039- And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it. 040- And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. 041- And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair. 042- And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Jacob 001- These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 002- (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.) 003- And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them; 004- After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 005- On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 006- The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 007- Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 008- Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. 009- And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 010- The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 011- (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) 012- How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 013- Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 014- And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do. 015- So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes. 016- And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 017- Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it. 018- And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do. 019- And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea. 020- And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us. 021- Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. 022- And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. 023- And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: 024- And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. 025- And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us. 026- Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God: 027- And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 028- Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there. 029- Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 030- The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; 031- And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. 032- Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, 033- Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. 034- And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, 035- Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers. 036- Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD. 037- Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither. 038- But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 039- Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. 040- But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 041- Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill. 042- And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies. 043- So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill. 044- And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. 045- And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you. 046- So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

Jacob 001- Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, 002- A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak! 003- Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. 004- Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. 005- Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 006- Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. 007- Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD. 008- Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you. 009- When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water: 010- And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 011- And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. 012- And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. 013- Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 014- Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 015- So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. 016- And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you. 017- And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. 018- And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 019- For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also. 020- And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. 021- And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground 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. 022- And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. 023- Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 024- Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you. 025- Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you. 026- I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 027- Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: 028- Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was 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 wilderness. 029- Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

Jacob 001- These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 002- And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; 003- The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 004- Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 005- And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. 006- Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God. 007- And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them: 008- And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh. 009- Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. 010- Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 011- Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 012- That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: 013- That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 014- Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; 015- But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day: 016- (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; 017- And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) 018- Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; 019- And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: 020- The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. 021- And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law: 022- So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it; 023- And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 024- Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 025- Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: 026- For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: 027- And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: 028- And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day. 029- The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Jacob 001- And 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 call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 002- 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 all thy soul; 003- 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. 004- If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 005- And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 006- And the LORD thy God will circumcise 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. 007- And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 008- And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 009- And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 010- If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 011- For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 012- It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 013- Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 014- But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 015- See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 016- In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 017- But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 018- 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. 019- I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 020- That thou mayest love the LORD 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 LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Jacob 001- Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 002- My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 003- Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 004- He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. 005- They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 006- Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? 007- Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 008- When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 009- For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 010- He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 011- As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 012- So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 013- He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 014- Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. 015- But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 016- They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 017- They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 018- Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 019- And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 020- And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. 021- They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 022- For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 023- I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. 024- They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. 025- The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs. 026- I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 027- Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. 028- For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 029- O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! 030- How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? 031- For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. 032- For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: 033- Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. 034- Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? 035- To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. 036- For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. 037- And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 038- Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. 039- See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. 040- For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 041- If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 042- I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. 043- Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. 044- And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. 045- And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 046- And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 047- For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 048- And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, 049- Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession: 050- And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: 051- Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. 052- Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

Jacob 001- And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 002- And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 003- Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. 004- Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. 005- And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. 006- Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few. 007- And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies. 008- And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; 009- Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. 010- They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. 011- Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again. 012- And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. 013- And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 014- And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 015- And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 016- And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. 017- His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 018- And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents. 019- They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand. 020- And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. 021- And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel. 022- And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. 023- And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south. 024- And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. 025- Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. 026- There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. 027- The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. 028- Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew. 029- Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

Jacob 001- And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, 002- And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, 003- And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 004- And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 005- So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 006- And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. 007- And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 008- And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 009- And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. 010- And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 011- In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 012- And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.

Jacob 001- And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. 002- And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. 003- And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac. 004- And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. 005- I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. 006- And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea. 007- And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season. 008- And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you. 009- Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you: 010- But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand. 011- And you went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand. 012- And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow. 013- And I have given you a land for which ye did not labor, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. 014- Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. 015- And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. 016- And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; 017- For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed: 018- And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God. 019- And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 020- 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. 021- And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 022- 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. 023- Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. 024- And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. 025- So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. 026- And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. 027- And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God. 028- So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance. 029- And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 030- And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash. 031- And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel. 032- And 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 pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. 033- And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.

Jacob 001- And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you. 002- And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. 003- Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. 004- And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand. 005- And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. 006- And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. 007- Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers. 008- When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. 009- And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them. 010- And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. 011- And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe. 012- And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king. 013- Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you. 014- If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God: 015- But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers. 016- Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes. 017- Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king. 018- So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel. 019- And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king. 020- And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; 021- And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. 022- For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people. 023- Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: 024- Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. 025- But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

Jacob 001- Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, 002- The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. 003- The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. 004- And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. 005- Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. 006- But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: 007- 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. 008- These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time. 009- And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away: 010- He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil. 011- And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines. 012- But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory. 013- And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim. 014- And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 015- And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! 016- And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD. 017- And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. 018- And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three. 019- Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three. 020- And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow: 021- And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear. 022- These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men. 023- He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard. 024- Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 025- Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 026- Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 027- Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 028- Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 029- Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin, 030- Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash, 031- Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 032- Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, 033- Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite, 034- Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, 035- Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 036- Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 037- Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite, armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah, 038- Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite, 039- Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all.

Jacob 001- And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 002- And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 003- And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: 004- For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 005- And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 006- So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 007- And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? 008- And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 009- And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 010- As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 011- And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 012- And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth. 013- Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 014- And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. 015- And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to day. 016- So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 017- And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? 018- And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim. 019- Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. 020- So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 021- And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 022- Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 023- Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 024- And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 025- And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under. 026- And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 027- And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 028- And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 029- And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. 030- And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. 031- And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 032- And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 033- And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 034- And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. 035- And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 036- And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 037- Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 038- Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 039- And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. 040- And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. 041- And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 042- So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, 043- And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 044- And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not. 045- And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 046- And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Jacob 001- In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years. 002- And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. 003- And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days. 004- And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them. 005- (And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime. 006- Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.) 007- Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing. 008- Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 009- And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead. 010- In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. 011- And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein. 012- And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 013- And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 014- Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. 015- And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. 016- And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. 017- And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. 018- And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. 019- And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice. 020- And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. 021- And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. 022- But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 023- And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet. 024- So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. 025- And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.

Jacob 001- In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. 002- And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him. 003- Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents. 004- And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers 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. 005- Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. 006- In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 007- For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD 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, 008- And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. 009- And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 010- And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: 011- And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: 012- For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. 013- Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. 014- Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. 015- And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. 016- 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. 017- 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. 018- 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. 019- Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 020- And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. 021- For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. 022- For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; 023- 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. 024- 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. 025- 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. 026- Wherefore 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. 027- Then the king of Assyria commanded, 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. 028- Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD. 029- Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. 030- And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 031- And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 032- So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. 033- They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. 034- Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; 035- With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: 036- But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. 037- And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. 038- And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. 039- But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 040- Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. 041- So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

Jacob 001- So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God. 002- And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. 003- And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. 004- And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: 005- Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals; 006- Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. 007- Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. 008- Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. 009- Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. 010- Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 011- Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. 012- Remember his marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 013- O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 014- He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 015- Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 016- Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; 017- And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 018- Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 019- When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 020- And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 021- He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 022- Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 023- Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation. 024- Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations. 025- For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 026- For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 027- Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. 028- Give unto the LORD, ye kindred of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 029- Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 030- Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 031- Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. 032- Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. 033- Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth. 034- O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 035- And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. 036- Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD. 037- So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required: 038- And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters: 039- And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon, 040- To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel; 041- And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever; 042- And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters. 043- And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.

Jacob 001- The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 002- The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 003- They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 004- Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 005- There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 006- Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 007- Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Jacob 001- My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 002- O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 003- But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 004- Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 005- They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 006- But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 007- All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 008- He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 009- But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 010- I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. 011- Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 012- Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 013- They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 014- I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 015- My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 016- For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 017- I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 018- They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 019- But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 020- Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 021- Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 022- I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 023- Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 024- For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 025- My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 026- The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 027- All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 028- For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations. 029- All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 030- A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 031- They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

Selah. 007- Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 008- Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 009- Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 010- Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Jacob 001- We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. 002- How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 003- For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. 004- Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 005- Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 006- For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 007- But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 008- In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. 009- But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 010- Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 011- Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 012- Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 013- Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 014- Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 015- My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 016- For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 017- All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 018- Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 019- Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 020- If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 021- Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 022- Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 023- Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 024- Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 025- For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 026- Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

Selah. 004- There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 005- God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 006- The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 007- The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 008- Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 009- He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 010- Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 011- The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Selah. 006- They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 007- Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? 008- But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. 009- Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. 010- The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. 011- Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 012- 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. 013- Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. 014- And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 015- Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. 016- But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. 017- Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

Selah. 004- I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: 005- Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. 006- For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 007- But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 008- For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. 009- But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 010- All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Selah. 004- Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 005- The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. 006- At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 007- Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 008- Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 009- When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. 010- Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 011- Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. 012- He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Jacob 001- I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 002- 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. 003- I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 004- Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 005- I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 006- I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 007- Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 008- Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 009- Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 010- And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. 011- I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 012- I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 013- Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? 014- Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. 015- Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 016- The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. 017- The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 018- The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 019- Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 020- Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Jacob 001- Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 002- I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 003- Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 004- We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 005- For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 006- That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 007- That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 008- And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. 009- The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 010- They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; 011- And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. 012- Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 013- He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. 014- In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 015- He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 016- He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 017- And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 018- And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 019- Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 020- Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? 021- Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 022- Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: 023- Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 024- And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 025- Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. 026- He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 027- He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 028- And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 029- So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; 030- They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 031- The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 032- For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. 033- Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. 034- When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. 035- And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 036- Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 037- For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 038- But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 039- For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 040- How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 041- Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 042- They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 043- How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan. 044- And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. 045- He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 046- He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 047- He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. 048- He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 049- He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 050- He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; 051- And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 052- But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 053- And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 054- And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 055- He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 056- Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: 057- But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 058- For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 059- When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 060- So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 061- And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 062- He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 063- The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. 064- Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. 065- Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. 066- And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. 067- Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 068- But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 069- And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. 070- He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: 071- From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 072- So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Jacob 001- O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 002- The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. 003- Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. 004- We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. 005- How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 006- Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. 007- For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. 008- O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. 009- Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. 010- Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. 011- Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; 012- And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. 013- So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

Jacob 001- Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 002- Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 003- Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 004- For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 005- This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 006- I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 007- Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. 008- Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 009- There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 010- I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 011- But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 012- So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 013- Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 014- I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 015- The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 016- He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

Jacob 001- How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 002- My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 003- Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. 004- Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 005- Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 006- Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 007- They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 008- O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. 009- Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 010- For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 011- For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 012- O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Jacob 001- Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 002- Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 003- Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 004- Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 005- Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 006- Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 007- Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 008- I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 009- Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 010- Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 011- Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 012- Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 013- Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Jacob 001- His foundation is in the holy mountains. 002- The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 003- Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. 004- I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 005- And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 006- The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 007- As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Jacob 001- O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. 002- Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 003- LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 004- How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 005- They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 006- They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 007- Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 008- Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 009- He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 010- He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 011- The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 012- Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 013- That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 014- For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 015- But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 016- Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 017- Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 018- When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 019- In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 020- Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 021- They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 022- But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 023- And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

Jacob 001- The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. 002- The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. 003- Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. 004- The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. 005- Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. 006- Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 007- He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. 008- Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. 009- Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Jacob 001- O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. 002- Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. 003- Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 004- Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 005- Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 006- O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 007- He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 008- He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 009- Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 010- And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 011- Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 012- When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. 013- When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; 014- He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 015- Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 016- Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. 017- He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 018- Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 019- Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. 020- The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 021- He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 022- To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. 023- Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 024- And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. 025- He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 026- He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. 027- They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 028- He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 029- He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 030- Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. 031- He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. 032- He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. 033- He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. 034- He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, 035- And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. 036- He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. 037- He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. 038- Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. 039- He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. 040- The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 041- He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. 042- For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 043- And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 044- And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; 045- That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

Jacob 001- When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 002- Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. 003- The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 004- The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 005- What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? 006- Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? 007- Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 008- Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Jacob 001- Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: 002- How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; 003- Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 004- I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 005- Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. 006- Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 007- We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 008- Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 009- Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 010- For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 011- The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 012- If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 013- For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 014- This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 015- I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 016- I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 017- There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 018- His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

Jacob 001- Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD. 002- Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. 003- Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 004- For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. 005- For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. 006- Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. 007- He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. 008- Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 009- Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. 010- Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; 011- Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: 012- And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. 013- Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. 014- For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. 015- The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 016- They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; 017- They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. 018- They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. 019- Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: 020- Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. 021- Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

Jacob 001- Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 002- While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 003- Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 004- His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 005- Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 006- Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 007- Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: 008- The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: 009- The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 010- The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Jacob 001- Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. 002- The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 003- He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 004- He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 005- Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 006- The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. 007- Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 008- Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 009- He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 010- He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 011- The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 012- Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 013- For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. 014- He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 015- He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. 016- He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 017- He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 018- He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 019- He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 020- He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

Jacob 001- The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 002- And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 003- And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 004- And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 005- O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. 006- Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. 007- Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 008- Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 009- And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. 010- Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. 011- The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 012- For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 013- And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 014- And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 015- And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, 016- And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. 017- And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 018- And the idols he shall utterly abolish. 019- And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 020- In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 021- To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 022- Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

Jacob 001- Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. 002- And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. 003- And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. 004- For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. 005- The LORD spake also unto me again, saying, 006- Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son; 007- Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks: 008- And he shall pass through Judah; he shall 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. 009- 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 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 010- Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. 011- For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 012- Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 013- Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 014- 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 gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 015- And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. 016- Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 017- And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 018- Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 019- And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 020- To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 021- And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. 022- And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

Jacob 001- Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. 002- The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. 003- Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 004- For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. 005- For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. 006- For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 007- Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. 008- The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. 009- And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, 010- The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. 011- Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together; 012- The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 013- For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. 014- Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. 015- The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. 016- For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. 017- Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 018- For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. 019- Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. 020- And he shall 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 flesh of his own arm: 021- Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Isaiah |
010 |
Jacob 001- Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 002- To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! 003- And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? 004- 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. 005- O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. 006- I will send him against an hypocritical 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 tread them down like the mire of the streets. 007- Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. 008- For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings? 009- Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus? 010- As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; 011- Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? 012- 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 stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 013- 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 like a valiant man: 014- And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 015- Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood. 016- Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire. 017- 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; 018- And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth. 019- And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them. 020- 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 LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 021- The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 022- For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. 023- For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. 024- Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 025- For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. 026- And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter 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. 027- And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. 028- He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: 029- They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled. 030- Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. 031- Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 032- 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. 033- Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 034- And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

Jacob 001- For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 002- And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. 003- And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, 004- That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 005- The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 006- He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 007- The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 008- Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. 009- Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 010- All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 011- Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 012- How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 013- For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 014- I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 015- Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 016- They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 017- That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 018- All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 019- 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 trodden under feet. 020- Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. 021- 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. 022- For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. 023- I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts. 024- The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 025- That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 026- This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. 027- For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? 028- In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. 029- Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 030- And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. 031- Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 032- What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

Jacob 001- The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 002- The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 003- The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. 004- 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. 005- And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim. 006- Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel. 007- At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. 008- And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images. 009- 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. 010- 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: 011- 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 a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. 012- Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 013- The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke 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. 014- And behold at eveningtide 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.

Jacob 001- In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. 002- In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. 003- I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 004- Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. 005- Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. 006- He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. 007- Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? 008- In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. 009- By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. 010- Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. 011- When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour. 012- And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. 013- And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Jacob 001- Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. 002- Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. 003- And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. 004- 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 familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. 005- Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. 006- Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. 007- And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. 008- 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, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. 009- Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 010- For the LORD 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. 011- And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 012- And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 013- Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 014- Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 015- Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 016- Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? 017- Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? 018- And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 019- The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 020- For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: 021- That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. 022- Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. 023- 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 God of Israel. 024- They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Jacob 001- Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 002- Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. 003- The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 004- Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 005- And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 006- The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 007- The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 008- The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. 009- O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! 010- Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 011- He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. 012- Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 013- Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 014- With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? 015- Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 016- And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. 017- All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. 018- To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 019- The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. 020- He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. 021- Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? 022- It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: 023- That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 024- Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 025- To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 026- Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. 027- Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 028- Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 029- He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 030- Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 031- But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Jacob 001- Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. 002- Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. 003- He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. 004- Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 005- The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. 006- They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. 007- So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. 008- But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. 009- Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. 010- Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 011- Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 012- Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 013- For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 014- Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 015- Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. 016- Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. 017- When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 018- I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 019- I 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: 020- That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. 021- Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. 022- Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. 023- 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. 024- Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. 025- I 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 morter, and as the potter treadeth clay. 026- Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. 027- The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. 028- For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. 029- Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

Jacob 001- Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 002- He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 003- A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 004- He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 005- 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 giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 006- I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 007- To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 008- I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 009- Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 010- Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. 011- 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. 012- Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. 013- The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. 014- I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. 015- 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. 016- And 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. 017- 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. 018- Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. 019- 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 LORD's servant? 020- Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. 021- The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. 022- But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they 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. 023- Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? 024- Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. 025- 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.

Jacob 001- But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 002- When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 003- For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 004- Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 005- Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 006- I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 007- Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. 008- Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 009- Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 010- Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 011- I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. 012- I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. 013- Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? 014- Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. 015- I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 016- Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 017- Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. 018- Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 019- Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 020- The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. 021- This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. 022- But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 023- Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. 024- Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. 025- I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 026- Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 027- Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. 028- Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Jacob 001- Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: 002- Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. 003- For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: 004- And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. 005- One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel. 006- Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. 007- And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 008- Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. 009- They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 010- Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? 011- Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. 012- The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint. 013- The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. 014- He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. 015- Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. 016- He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 017- And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. 018- They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 019- And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? 020- He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand? 021- Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. 022- I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. 023- Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. 024- Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 025- That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 026- That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof: 027- That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers: 028- That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

Jacob 001- Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 002- I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 003- And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 004- For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. 005- I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 006- That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 007- I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. 008- Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. 009- Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 010- Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 011- Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 012- I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 013- I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. 014- Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. 015- Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. 016- They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols. 017- But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. 018- For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 019- I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. 020- Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 021- Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 022- Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 023- I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 024- Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 025- In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Jacob 001- Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. 002- They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. 003- Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: 004- And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. 005- To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 006- They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. 007- They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. 008- Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. 009- Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 010- Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 011- Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. 012- Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: 013- I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

Jacob 001- Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. 002- For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name. 003- 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. 004- Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 005- I have even from the beginning declared 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. 006- Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. 007- They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. 008- Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest 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. 009- For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. 010- Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 011- 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. 012- Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. 013- Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. 014- All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 015- I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. 016- 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 GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. 017- Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. 018- O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: 019- Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me. 020- Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob. 021- And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. 022- There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Jacob 001- Listen, 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 mention of my name. 002- 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; 003- And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 004- 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 work with my God. 005- And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. 006- 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 light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. 007- 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 rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. 008- Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable 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; 009- That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. 010- 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. 011- And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. 012- Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. 013- Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. 014- But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 015- Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 016- Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. 017- Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee. 018- Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. 019- For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. 020- The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell. 021- Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been? 022- Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, 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. 023- And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. 024- Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? 025- But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 026- And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Jacob 001- Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 002- Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. 003- Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. 004- Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 005- Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 006- Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? 007- Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 008- Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. 009- Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 010- And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: 011- And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 012- And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 013- If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 014- Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Jacob 001- Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 002- But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 003- For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 004- None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 005- They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 006- Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. 007- Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. 008- The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. 009- Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 010- We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. 011- We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. 012- For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 013- In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 014- And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 015- Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. 016- And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 017- For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. 018- According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. 019- So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. 020- And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 021- As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Jacob 001- Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 002- For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 003- And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 004- Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 005- Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 006- The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 007- All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 008- Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? 009- Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 010- And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 011- Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. 012- For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. 013- The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 014- The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 015- Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 016- Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 017- For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. 018- Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 019- The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 020- Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 021- Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 022- A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Jacob 001- I am sought of them 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 called by my name. 002- I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; 003- A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 004- Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 005- Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 006- Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, 007- Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. 008- Thus saith the LORD, 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. 009- And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. 010- And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 011- But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. 012- 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. 013- Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: 014- Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 015- And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: 016- 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 God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. 017- For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 018- But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 019- 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. 020- 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 accursed. 021- And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 022- They shall not build, 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 work of their hands. 023- They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 024- And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 025- The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, 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.

Jacob 001- Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 002- Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 003- Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD. 004- Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: 005- Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 006- Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? 007- And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. 008- The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. 009- Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead. 010- For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. 011- Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 012- Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. 013- For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 014- Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled? 015- The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant. 016- Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head. 017- Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way? 018- And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river? 019- Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts. 020- For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 021- Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? 022- For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD. 023- How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways; 024- A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her. 025- Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. 026- As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets. 027- Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. 028- But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. 029- Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. 030- In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. 031- O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? 032- Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. 033- Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. 034- Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these. 035- Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. 036- Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. 037- Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.

Jacob 001- Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. 002- And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. 003- O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. 004- Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God. 005- I will 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. 006- Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings 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 many, and their backslidings are increased. 007- 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. 008- They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. 009- Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 010- Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's. 011- For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. 012- They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: 013- And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. 014- Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 015- Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 016- Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 017- And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. 018- Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. 019- And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's. 020- Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 021- Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 022- Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 023- But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 024- Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 025- Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 026- For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 027- As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 028- They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 029- Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 030- A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 031- The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

Jacob 001- Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 002- Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 003- For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 004- They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 005- They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. 006- Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 007- Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. 008- But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. 009- Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. 010- But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 011- Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 012- He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 013- When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. 014- Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 015- They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 016- The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. 017- Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. 018- For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. 019- Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. 020- My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. 021- For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. 022- Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. 023- O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 024- O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 025- Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Jacob 001- The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 002- Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. 003- For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. 004- And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 005- For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 006- Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? 007- Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. 008- For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: 009- But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. 010- Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. 011- For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. 012- For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. 013- There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. 014- All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. 015- Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. 016- Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 017- For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. 018- Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. 019- And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 020- Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 021- And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD. 022- And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 023- Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. 024- The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

Jacob 001- At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. 002- Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. 003- The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. 004- Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. 005- Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. 006- For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. 007- For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. 008- Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. 009- They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. 010- Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. 011- For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. 012- Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. 013- Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. 014- And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. 015- Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. 016- Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. 017- And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border. 018- I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 019- Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. 020- Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. 021- Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. 022- How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. 023- Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness. 024- And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. 025- For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. 026- Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me. 027- Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. 028- And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD. 029- In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. 030- But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. 031- Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 032- Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 033- But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 034- And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 035- Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: 036- If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. 037- Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. 038- Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner. 039- And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath. 040- And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

Jacob 001- Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 002- Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 003- Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 004- For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; 005- They come to fight with the Chaldeans, 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. 006- Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. 007- And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. 008- And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. 009- And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all 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. 010- Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be 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, 011- The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD. 012- Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 013- In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD. 014- Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 015- In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 016- In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. 017- For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 018- 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. 019- And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, 020- Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 021- 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. 022- As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. 023- Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 024- Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. 025- Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 026- Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

Jacob 001- The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles; 002- Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho 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. 003- Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle. 004- Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines. 005- Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD. 006- Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates. 007- Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers? 008- Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. 009- Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow. 010- For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. 011- Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured. 012- 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. 013- The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt. 014- Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee. 015- Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them. 016- 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 land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword. 017- They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed. 018- As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 019- O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant. 020- Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north. 021- Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation. 022- 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. 023- They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable. 024- The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north. 025- The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him: 026- And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their 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 LORD. 027- 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 captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 028- Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

Jacob 001- Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; 002- And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. 003- Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host. 004- Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets. 005- For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 006- Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. 007- Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 008- Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 009- We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. 010- The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. 011- Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple. 012- Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon. 013- O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness. 014- The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee. 015- He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding. 016- When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. 017- Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 018- They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 019- The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. 020- Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 021- And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; 022- With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 023- I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers. 024- And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD. 025- Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 026- And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. 027- Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers. 028- Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 029- And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. 030- The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken. 031- One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end, 032- And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted. 033- For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. 034- Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out. 035- The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. 036- Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. 037- And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. 038- They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps. 039- In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. 040- I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. 041- How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations! 042- The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. 043- Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby. 044- And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 045- My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. 046- And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. 047- Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. 048- Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD. 049- As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. 050- Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 051- We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD's house. 052- Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 053- Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD. 054- A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: 055- Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered: 056- Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite. 057- And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 058- Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary. 059- The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince. 060- So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. 061- And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words; 062- Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. 063- And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 064- And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

Jacob 001- How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary! 002- She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. 003- Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits. 004- The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness. 005- Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy. 006- And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. 007- Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths. 008- Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. 009- Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself. 010- The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation. 011- All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile. 012- Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. 013- From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. 014- The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up. 015- The LORD hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress. 016- For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. 017- Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. 018- The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. 019- I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls. 020- Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death. 021- They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me. 022- Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

Jacob 001- How hath the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger! 002- The LORD hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof. 003- 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 flaming fire, which devoureth round about. 004- He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire. 005- The LORD was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation. 006- And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD 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. 007- The LORD hath cast off 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 in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast. 008- The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together. 009- Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD. 010- The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. 011- 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 children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. 012- 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. 013- What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall 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? 014- 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. 015- 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? 016- All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it. 017- 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. 018- Their heart cried unto 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. 019- 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. 020- Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? 021- The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied. 022- 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.

Jacob 001- And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me. 002- Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, 003- Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you. 004- Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers: 005- And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God; 006- In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands: 007- 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. 008- But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 009- But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 010- Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 011- And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. 012- 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. 013- 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 fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. 014- But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out. 015- Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands; 016- Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 017- Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness. 018- But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols: 019- I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; 020- 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. 021- Notwithstanding the children rebelled 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 pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. 022- Nevertheless 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. 023- I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries; 024- Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols. 025- Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; 026- And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD. 027- Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. 028- 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 provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings. 029- Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day. 030- Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations? 031- For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you. 032- And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. 033- As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 034- And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 035- And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. 036- Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. 037- And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 038- 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 not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 039- 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 pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols. 040- For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all 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. 041- I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. 042- And ye shall know that I am the LORD, 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 your fathers. 043- And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed. 044- And ye shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 045- Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 046- 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; 047- And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. 048- And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 049- Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

Jacob 001- The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 002- Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 003- Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 004- With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 005- By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 006- Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 007- Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 008- 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. 009- 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 slayeth thee. 010- Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 011- Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 012- Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 013- Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 014- 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. 015- Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 016- By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 017- Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 018- Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 019- All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. 020- Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 021- Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it, 022- And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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. 023- For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 024- And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 025- 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 shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. 026- And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

Jacob 001- The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 002- And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 003- And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 004- Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 005- Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 006- And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 007- So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 008- And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 009- Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 010- So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 011- Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 012- Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 013- And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 014- And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. 015- The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 016- Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: 017- And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. 018- And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 019- Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. 020- And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 021- And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 022- And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. 023- Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 024- And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. 025- And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. 026- Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. 027- My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 028- And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Jacob 001- Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 002- 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: 003- And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 004- Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 005- Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 006- And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 007- 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 am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 008- Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 009- 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 burn them with fire seven years: 010- So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD. 011- And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. 012- And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 013- Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD. 014- And they shall sever out men of 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. 015- And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. 016- And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 017- And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 018- 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, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 019- And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 020- 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. 021- 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. 022- So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. 023- 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 all by the sword. 024- According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 025- 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; 026- 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. 027- When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; 028- Then shall they know that I am the LORD 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. 029- Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Jacob 001- Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images. 002- Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images. 003- For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us? 004- They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. 005- The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it. 006- It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. 007- As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. 008- 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 mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. 009- 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. 010- 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. 011- 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. 012- Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. 013- Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. 014- Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. 015- So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

Jacob 001- Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. 002- The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. 003- He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: 004- Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; 005- Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. 006- Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. 007- He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. 008- And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. 009- And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast. 010- I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. 011- Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. 012- And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. 013- And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. 014- Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.

Amos |
003 |
Jacob 001- Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 002- You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. 003- Can two walk together, except they be agreed? 004- Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? 005- Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? 006- Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? 007- Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 008- The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? 009- Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. 010- For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. 011- Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. 012- Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch. 013- Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, 014- That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. 015- And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.

Jacob 001- Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! 002- Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? 003- Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; 004- 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; 005- That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David; 006- That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. 007- Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. 008- The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. 009- And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. 010- 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 say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD. 011- For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. 012- 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: 013- Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? 014- But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.

Jacob 001- Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. 002- 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. 003- The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. 004- 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. 005- Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 006- The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. 007- Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 008- And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: 009- And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. 010- Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. 011- For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. 012- Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 013- But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. 014- Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: 015- And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. 016- Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. 017- Therefore thus saith the LORD; 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.

008 |
Jacob 001- Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. 002- And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. 003- And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. 004- Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 005- Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 006- That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? 007- The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 008- Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 009- And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: 010- And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. 011- Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 012- 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 LORD, and shall not find it. 013- In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 014- They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

Jacob 001- I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut 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. 002- Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: 003- 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 will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: 004- And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. 005- 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 by the flood of Egypt. 006- It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name. 007- Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? 008- Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. 009- For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. 010- All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. 011- In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: 012- That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. 013- Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. 014- 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. 015- And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

Jacob 001- The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. 002- Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. 003- The pride of thine heart hath deceived 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? 004- Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. 005- 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 some grapes? 006- How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! 007- All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; that they eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. 008- Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 009- 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. 010- For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 011- In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 012- But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 013- Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; 014- Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress. 015- For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. 016- For 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. 017- But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 018- 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 remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it. 019- 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 Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 020- 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, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south. 021- And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

001 |
Jacob 001- The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. 002- Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple. 003- For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 004- And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place. 005- For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? 006- 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. 007- And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot. 008- 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. 009- For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. 010- Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. 011- Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing. 012- For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. 013- 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. 014- Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. 015- Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. 016- Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

Jacob 001- Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 002- And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 003- Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil. 004- In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields. 005- Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD. 006- Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. 007- O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? 008- Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. 009- The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. 010- Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. 011- If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. 012- I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. 013- The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

Jacob 001- And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? 002- Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 003- Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 004- Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. 005- Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. 006- Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. 007- Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. 008- But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. 009- Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 010- They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 011- The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 012- Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

Jacob 001- But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 002- And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 003- And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 004- But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. 005- For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. 006- In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; 007- And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. 008- And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. 009- Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. 010- Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. 011- Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. 012- But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. 013- Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

Jacob 001- Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. 002- But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. 003- Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 004- And he shall stand and 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. 005- 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. 006- And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. 007- 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. 008- 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 deliver. 009- Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off. 010- And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots: 011- And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds: 012- And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: 013- Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. 014- And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 015- And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

Jacob 001- Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. 002- The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. 003- That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. 004- The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. 005- Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 006- For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. 007- Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. 008- Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. 009- I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. 010- Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. 011- In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. 012- In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. 013- Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. 014- Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. 015- According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things. 016- The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. 017- They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee. 018- Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. 019- He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. 020- Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Jacob 001- He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. 002- For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches. 003- The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. 004- The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. 005- He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared. 006- The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved. 007- And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts. 008- But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back. 009- Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture. 010- She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness. 011- Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid? 012- The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin. 013- Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

Jacob 001- The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. 002- I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, 003- And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 004- Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD 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 LORD hath indignation for ever. 005- And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. 006- A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 007- Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. 008- And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. 009- And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. 010- Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 011- For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. 012- But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. 013- Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD. 014- But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

Jacob 001- And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 002- If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. 003- Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. 004- And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 005- My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 006- 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. 007- For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. 008- But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 009- Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. 010- Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? 011- Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. 012- The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. 013- And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. 014- 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. 015- And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 016- For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. 017- Ye have wearied the LORD with your 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?

Jacob 001- Behold, I 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: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 002- 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: 003- And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier 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. 004- Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. 005- And I will come near to you to judgment; 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 right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 006- For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 007- Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? 008- Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 009- Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 010- Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 011- And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 012- And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. 013- Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 014- Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? 015- And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 016- Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 017- And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 018- Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Jacob 001- The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 002- Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 003- And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 004- And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 005- And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 006- And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 007- And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 008- And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 009- And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 010- And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 011- And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 012- And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 013- And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 014- And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 015- And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 016- And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 017- So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. 018- Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 019- Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 020- But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 021- And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 022- Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 023- Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 024- Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 025- And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Jacob 001- When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 002- And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 003- And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 004- And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 005- And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 006- And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 007- And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 008- The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 009- For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 010- When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 011- And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 012- But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 013- And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. 014- And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 015- And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 016- When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 017- That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 018- Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 019- And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 020- And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 021- And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 022- But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 023- And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 024- And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 025- And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 026- And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 027- But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 028- And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 029- And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 030- And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 031- So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 032- And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 033- And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 034- And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

Jacob 001- And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 002- The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 003- And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 004- Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 005- But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 006- And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 007- But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 008- Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 009- Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 010- So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 011- And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 012- And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 013- Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 014- For many are called, but few are chosen. 015- Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 016- And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 017- Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 018- But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 019- Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 020- And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 021- They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 022- When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 023- The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 024- Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 025- Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 026- Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 027- And last of all the woman died also. 028- Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 029- Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 030- For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 031- But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 032- I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 033- And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. 034- But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 035- Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 036- Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 037- Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 038- This is the first and great commandment. 039- And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 040- On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 041- While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 042- Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 043- He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 044- The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 045- If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 046- And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Jacob 001- And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. 002- And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 003- And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 004- And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 005- And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. 006- Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 007- But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. 008- And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 009- What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 010- And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 011- This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 012- And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. 013- And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 014- And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 015- Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. 016- And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 017- And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 018- Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 019- Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 020- Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 021- And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 022- And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 023- In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 024- And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 025- For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 026- And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 027- He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. 028- And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 029- And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 030- And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 031- And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 032- And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 033- And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 034- And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. 035- And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? 036- For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 037- David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. 038- And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, 039- And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: 040- Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. 041- And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 042- And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 043- And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 044- For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Jacob 001- Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 002- Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 003- It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 004- That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 005- THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 006- And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 007- And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 008- And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, 009- According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 010- And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. 011- And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 012- And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 013- But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 014- And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 015- For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 016- And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 017- And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 018- And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 019- And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. 020- And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 021- And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 022- And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. 023- And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. 024- And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 025- Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 026- And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 027- To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 028- And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 029- And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 030- And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 031- And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 032- He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 033- And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 034- Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 035- And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 036- And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 037- For with God nothing shall be impossible. 038- And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 039- And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 040- And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 041- And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 042- And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 043- And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 044- For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 045- And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 046- And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 047- And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 048- For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 049- For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 050- And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 051- He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 052- He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 053- He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 054- He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 055- As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 056- And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. 057- Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 058- And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. 059- And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 060- And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 061- And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 062- And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. 063- And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 064- And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. 065- And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 066- And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 067- And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 068- Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 069- And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 070- As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 071- That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 072- To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 073- The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 074- That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 075- In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 076- And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 077- To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 078- Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 079- To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. 080- And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

Jacob 001- Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 002- Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 003- And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 004- As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 005- Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 006- And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 007- Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 008- Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 009- And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 010- And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 011- He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 012- Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 013- And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 014- And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. 015- And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 016- John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 017- Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 018- And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 019- But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 020- Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. 021- Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 022- And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 023- And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, 024- Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 025- Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 026- Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 027- Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 028- Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 029- Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, 030- Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, 031- Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, 032- Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, 033- Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, 034- Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, 035- Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, 036- Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, 037- Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 038- Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Jacob 001- There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 002- And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 003- I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 004- Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 005- I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 006- He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 007- Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 008- And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 009- And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. 010- And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 011- And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 012- And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 013- And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 014- And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 015- The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 016- And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? 017- And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. 018- Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 019- It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. 020- And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 021- It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 022- And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 023- Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 024- Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 025- When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 026- Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 027- But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 028- There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 029- And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 030- And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. 031- The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 032- And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 033- Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 034- O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 035- Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Jacob 001- And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 002- And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 003- And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 004- The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? 005- And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? 006- But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 007- And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. 008- And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 009- 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. 010- 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. 011- And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 012- And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 013- Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. 014- But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 015- So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? 016- He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. 017- 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 corner? 018- Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 019- 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. 020- 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 unto the power and authority of the governor. 021- 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 God truly: 022- Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 023- But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 024- Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. 025- And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. 026- And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. 027- Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, 028- 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. 029- There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 030- And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 031- And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 032- Last of all the woman died also. 033- Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 034- And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 035- But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 036- Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 037- Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 038- For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. 039- Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 040- And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. 041- And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? 042- And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 043- Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 044- David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 045- Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 046- Beware 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; 047- Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Jacob 001- When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 002- (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 003- He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 004- And he must needs go through Samaria. 005- 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. 006- Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 007- There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 008- (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 009- 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. 010- Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 011- The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 012- Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 013- Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 014- 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. 015- The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 016- Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 017- The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 018- For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 019- The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 020- Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 021- Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 022- Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 023- 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. 024- God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 025- The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 026- Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 027- 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? 028- The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 029- Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 030- Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 031- In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 032- But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 033- Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 034- Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 035- 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 white already to harvest. 036- And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 037- And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 038- I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. 039- And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. 040- So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 041- And many more believed because of his own word; 042- 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. 043- Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. 044- For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 045- Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. 046- So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 047- When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 048- Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 049- The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 050- 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. 051- And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 052- Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 053- So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 054- This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

Jacob 001- Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 002- And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 003- Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 004- And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 005- And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 006- Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 007- And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 008- And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 009- And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 010- And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. 011- And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. 012- And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? 013- The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. 014- But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 015- And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 016- And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 017- And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 018- But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 019- Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. 020- And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 021- Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. 022- For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. 023- And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. 024- Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. 025- Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. 026- Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Jacob 001- Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 002- And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, 003- And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 004- Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 005- And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 006- And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 007- And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. 008- And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. 009- And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 010- And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 011- Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. 012- But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 013- And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. 014- Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 015- So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, 016- And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. 017- But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 018- Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. 019- The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. 020- In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: 021- And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. 022- And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 023- And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 024- And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: 025- For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. 026- And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? 027- But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? 028- Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? 029- Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. 030- And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. 031- When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him, 032- Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 033- Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. 034- I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 035- This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. 036- He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. 037- This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 038- This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: 039- To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, 040- Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 041- And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 042- Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? 043- Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. 044- Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. 045- Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; 046- Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 047- But Solomon built him an house. 048- Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 049- Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 050- Hath not my hand made all these things? 051- Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 052- Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: 053- Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 054- When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 055- But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 056- And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 057- Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 058- And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 059- And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 060- And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Jacob 001- I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 002- That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 003- For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 004- Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 005- Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 006- Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 007- Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 008- That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 009- For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. 010- And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 011- (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 012- It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 013- As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 014- What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 015- For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 016- So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 017- For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 018- Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 019- Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 020- Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 021- Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 022- What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 023- And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 024- Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 025- As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 026- And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. 027- Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 028- For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 029- And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. 030- What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 031- But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 032- Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 033- As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Jacob 001- I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 002- God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, 003- Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 004- But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 005- Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 006- And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 007- What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 008- (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 009- And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 010- Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 011- I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 012- Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 013- For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 014- If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 015- For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 016- For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 017- And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 018- Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 019- Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 020- Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 021- For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 022- Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 023- And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 024- For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 025- For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 026- And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 027- For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 028- As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes. 029- For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 030- For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 031- Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 032- For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 033- O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 034- For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 035- Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 036- For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Jacob 001- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 002- For by it the elders obtained a good report. 003- Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 004- By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 005- By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 006- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 007- By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 008- By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 009- By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 010- For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 011- Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 012- Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 013- These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 014- For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 015- And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 016- But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 017- By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 018- Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 019- Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 020- By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 021- By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 022- By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 023- By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 024- By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 025- Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 026- Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 027- By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 028- Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 029- By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. 030- By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 031- By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 032- And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 033- Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. 034- Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 035- Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 036- And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 037- They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 038- (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 039- And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 040- God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
