So David received them, and made them captains of the band. + +** I Chronicles 12:19 + +And there were some of Manasses that went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to fight: but he did not fight with them: because the lords of the Philistines taking counsel sent him back, saying: With the danger of our heads he will return to his master Saul. + +** I Chronicles 12:20 + +So when he went back to Siceleg, there fled to him of Manasses, Ednas and Jozabad, and Jedihel, and Michael, and Ednas, and Jozabad, and Eliu, and Salathi, captains of thousands in Manasses. + +** I Chronicles 12:21 + +These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most valiant men, and were made commanders in the army. + +** I Chronicles 12:22 + +Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till they became a great number, like the army of God. + +** I Chronicles 12:23 + +And this is the number of the chiefs of the army who came to David, when he was in Hebron, to transfer to him the kingdom of Saul, according to the word of the Lord. + +** I Chronicles 12:24 + +The sons of Juda bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred well appointed to war. + +** I Chronicles 12:25 + +Of the sons of Simeon valiant men for war, seven thousand one hundred. + +** I Chronicles 12:26 + +Of the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred. + +** I Chronicles 12:27 + +And Joiada prince of the race of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred. + +** I Chronicles 12:28 + +Sadoc also a young man of excellent disposition, and the house of his father, twenty-two principal men. + +** I Chronicles 12:29 + +And of the sons of Benjamin the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto a great part of them followed the house of Saul. + +** I Chronicles 12:30 + +And of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, men of great valour renowned in their kindreds. + +** I Chronicles 12:31 + +And of the half tribe of Manasses, eighteen thousand, every one by their names, came to make David king. + +** I Chronicles 12:32 + +Also of the sons of Issachar men of understanding, that knew all times to order what Israel should do, two hundred principal men: and all the rest of the tribe followed their counsel. + +** I Chronicles 12:33 + +And of Zabulon such as went forth to battle, and stood in array well appointed with armour for war, there came fifty thousand to his aid, with no double heart. + +** I Chronicles 12:34 + +And of Nephtali, a thousand leaders: and with them seven and thirty thousand, furnished with shield and spear. + +** I Chronicles 12:35 + +Of Dan also twenty-eight thousand six hundred prepared for battle. + +** I Chronicles 12:36 + +And of Aser forty thousand going forth to fight, and challenging in battle. + +** I Chronicles 12:37 + +And on the other side of the Jordan of the sons of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half of the tribe of Manasses a hundred and twenty thousand, furnished with arms for war. + +** I Chronicles 12:38 + +All these men of war well appointed to fight, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel, were of one heart to make David king. + +** I Chronicles 12:39 + +And they were there with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them. + +** I Chronicles 12:40 + +Moreover they that were near them even as far as Issachar, and Zabulon, and Nephtali, brought loaves on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, to eat: meal, figs, raisins, wine, oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel. + +* I Chronicles 13 + +** I Chronicles 13:1 + +David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and with all the commanders. + +** I Chronicles 13:2 + +And he said to all the assembly of Israel: If it please you; and if the words which I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to the rest of our brethren into all the countries of Israel, and to the priests, and the Levites, that dwell in the suburbs of the cities, to gather themselves to us, + +** I Chronicles 13:3 + +And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought it not in the days of Saul. + +** I Chronicles 13:4 + +And all the multitude answered that it should be so: for the word pleased all the people. + +** I Chronicles 13:5 + +So David assembled all Israel from Sihor of Egypt, even to the entering into Emath, to bring the ark of God from Cariathiarim. + +** I Chronicles 13:6 + +And David went up with all the men of Israel to the hill of Cariathiarim which is in Juda, to bring thence the ark of the Lord God sitting upon the cherubims, where his name is called upon. + +** I Chronicles 13:7 + +And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart out of the house of Abinadab. And Oza and his brother drove the cart. + +** I Chronicles 13:8 + +And David and all Israel played before God with all their might with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets, + +** I Chronicles 13:9 + +And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put forth his hand, to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a little on one side. + +** I Chronicles 13:10 + +And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him, because he had touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord. + +** I Chronicles 13:11 + +And David was troubled because the Lord had divided Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza to this day. + +** I Chronicles 13:12 + +And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I bring in the ark of God to me? + +** I Chronicles 13:13 + +And therefore he brought it not home to himself, that is, into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gethite. + +** I Chronicles 13:14 + +And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom three months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had. + +* I Chronicles 14 + +** I Chronicles 14:1 + +And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house. + +** I Chronicles 14:2 + +And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel. + +** I Chronicles 14:3 + +And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he begot sons, and daughters. + +** I Chronicles 14:4 + +Now these are the names of them that were born to him in Jerusalem: Samua, and Sobad, Nathan, and Solomon, + +** I Chronicles 14:5 + +Jebahar, and Elisua, and Eliphalet, + +** I Chronicles 14:6 + +And Noga, and Napheg, and Japhia, + +** I Chronicles 14:7 + +Elisama, and Baaliada, and Eliphalet. + +** I Chronicles 14:8 + +And the Philistines hearing that David was anointed king over all Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out against them. + +** I Chronicles 14:9 + +And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim. + +** I Chronicles 14:10 + +And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand. + +** I Chronicles 14:11 + +And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim. + +** I Chronicles 14:12 + +And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt. + +** I Chronicles 14:13 + +Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley. + +** I Chronicles 14:14 + +And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against the pear trees. + +** I Chronicles 14:15 + +And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out before thee to strike the army of the Philistines. + +** I Chronicles 14:16 + +And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera. + +** I Chronicles 14:17 + +And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear aim. + +* I Chronicles 15 + +** I Chronicles 15:1 + +He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it. + +** I Chronicles 15:2 + +Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto himself for ever. + +** I Chronicles 15:3 + +And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it. + +** I Chronicles 15:4 + +And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites. + +** I Chronicles 15:5 + +Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty. + +** I Chronicles 15:6 + +Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty. + +** I Chronicles 15:7 + +Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty. + +** I Chronicles 15:8 + +Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two hundred. + +** I Chronicles 15:9 + +Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty. + +** I Chronicles 15:10 + +Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve. + +** I Chronicles 15:11 + +And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab: + +** I Chronicles 15:12 + +And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and bring the ark of the Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it: + +** I Chronicles 15:13 + +Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law. + +** I Chronicles 15:14 + +So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel. + +** I Chronicles 15:15 + +And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves. + +** I Chronicles 15:16 + +And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to appoint some of their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit, on psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound on high. + +** I Chronicles 15:17 + +And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel, and of his brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari, their brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia. + +** I Chronicles 15:18 + +And with them their brethren: in the second rank, Zacharias, and Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters. + +** I Chronicles 15:19 + +Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of brass. + +** I Chronicles 15:20 + +And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon psalteries. + +** I Chronicles 15:21 + +And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps. + +** I Chronicles 15:22 + +And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skilful. + +** I Chronicles 15:23 + +And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark. + +** I Chronicles 15:24 + +And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with trumpets, before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the ark. + +** I Chronicles 15:25 + +So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy. + +** I Chronicles 15:26 + +And when God had helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and seven rams. + +** I Chronicles 15:27 + +And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an ephod of linen. + +** I Chronicles 15:28 + +And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps. + +** I Chronicles 15:29 + +And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart. + +* I Chronicles 16 + +** I Chronicles 16:1 + +So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God. + +** I Chronicles 16:2 + +And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. + +** I Chronicles 16:3 + +And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil. + +** I Chronicles 16:4 + +And he appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord God of Israel. + +** I Chronicles 16:5 + +Asaph the chief, and next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and Asaph sounded with cymbals: + +** I Chronicles 16:6 + +But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. + +** I Chronicles 16:7 + +In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren. + +** I Chronicles 16:8 + +Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations. + +** I Chronicles 16:9 + +Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works. + +** I Chronicles 16:10 + +Praise ye his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice, that seek the Lord. + +** I Chronicles 16:11 + +Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore. + +** I Chronicles 16:12 + +Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and the judgments of his mouth. + +** I Chronicles 16:13 + +O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his chosen. + +** I Chronicles 16:14 + +He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. + +** I Chronicles 16:15 + +Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations. + +** I Chronicles 16:16 + +The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac. + +** I Chronicles 16:17 + +And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: + +** I Chronicles 16:18 + +Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance. + +** I Chronicles 16:19 + +When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it. + +** I Chronicles 16:20 + +And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to another people. + +** I Chronicles 16:21 + +He suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their sake. + +** I Chronicles 16:22 + +Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets. + +** I Chronicles 16:23 + +Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day his salvation. + +** I Chronicles 16:24 + +Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people. + +** I Chronicles 16:25 + +For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to be feared above all gods. + +** I Chronicles 16:26 + +For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. + +** I Chronicles 16:27 + +Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his place. + +** I Chronicles 16:28 + +Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire. + +** I Chronicles 16:29 + +Give to the Lord glory to his name, bring up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness. + +** I Chronicles 16:30 + +Let all the earth be moved at his presence: for he hath founded the world immoveable. + +** I Chronicles 16:31 + +Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say among the nations: The Lord hath reigned. + +** I Chronicles 16:32 + +Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all things that are in them. + +** I Chronicles 16:33 + +Then shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord: because he is come to judge the earth. + +** I Chronicles 16:34 + +Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. + +** I Chronicles 16:35 + +And say ye: Save us, O God our savior: and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give glory to thy holy name, and may rejoice in singing thy praises. + +** I Chronicles 16:36 + +Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity: and let all the people say Amen, and a hymn to God. + +** I Chronicles 16:37 + +So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren to minister in the presence of the ark continually day by day, and in their courses. + +** I Chronicles 16:38 + +And Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters. + +** I Chronicles 16:39 + +And Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon. + +** I Chronicles 16:40 + +That they should offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel. + +** I Chronicles 16:41 + +And after him Heman, and Idithun, and the rest that were chosen, every one by his name to give praise to the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever. + +** I Chronicles 16:42 + +And Heman and Idithun sounded the trumpet, and played on the cymbals, and all kinds of musical instruments to sing praises to God: and the sons of Idithun he made porters. + +** I Chronicles 16:43 + +And all the people returned to their houses: and David to bless also his own house. + +* I Chronicles 17 + +** I Chronicles 17:1 + +Now when David was dwelling in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet: Behold I dwell in a house of cedar: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under skins. + +** I Chronicles 17:2 + +And Nathan said to David: Do all that is in thy heart: for God is with thee. + +** I Chronicles 17:3 + +Now that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying: + +** I Chronicles 17:4 + +Go, and speak to David my servant: Thus saith the Lord: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in. + +** I Chronicles 17:5 + +For I have not remained in a house from the time that I brought up Israel, to this day: but I have been always changing places in a tabernacle, and in a tent, + +** I Chronicles 17:6 + +Abiding with all Israel. Did I ever speak to any one, of all the judges of Israel whom I charged to feed my people, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar? + +** I Chronicles 17:7 + +Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I took thee from the pastures, from following the flock, that thou shouldst be ruler of my people Israel. + +** I Chronicles 17:8 + +And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast gone: and have slain all thy enemies before thee, and have made thee a name like that of one of the great ones that are renowned in the earth. + +** I Chronicles 17:9 + +And I have given a place my people Israel: they shall be planted, and shall dwell therein, and shall be moved no more, neither shall the children of iniquity waste them, as at the beginning, + +** I Chronicles 17:10 + +Since the days that I gave judges to my people Israel, and have humbled all thy enemies. And I declare to thee, that the Lord will build thee a house. + +** I Chronicles 17:11 + +And when thou shalt have ended thy days to go to thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons: and I will establish his kingdom. + +** I Chronicles 17:12 + +He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever. + +** I Chronicles 17:13 + +I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee. + +** I Chronicles 17:14 + +But I will settle him in my house, and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be most firm for ever. + +** I Chronicles 17:15 + +According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David. + +** I Chronicles 17:16 + +And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldst give such things to me? + +** I Chronicles 17:17 + +But even this hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for the time to come: and hast made me remarkable above all men, O Lord God. + +** I Chronicles 17:18 + +What can David add more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy servant, and known him? + +** I Chronicles 17:19 + +O Lord, for thy servant's sake, according to thy own heart, thou hast shewn all this magnificence, and wouldst have all the great things to be known. + +** I Chronicles 17:20 + +O Lord there is none like thee: and here is no other God beside thee, of all whom we have heard of with our ears. + +** I Chronicles 17:21 + +For what other nation is there upon earth like thy people Israel, whom God went to deliver, and make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terrors cast out nations before their face whom he had delivered out of Egypt? + +** I Chronicles 17:22 + +And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy own people for ever, and thou, O Lord, art become their God. + +** I Chronicles 17:23 + +Now therefore, O Lord, let the word which thou hast spoken to thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. + +** I Chronicles 17:24 + +And let thy name remain and be magnified for ever: and let it be said: The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David his servant remaineth before him. + +** I Chronicles 17:25 + +For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build him a house: and therefore thy servant hath found confidence to pray before thee. + +** I Chronicles 17:26 + +And now O Lord, thou art God: and thou hast promised to thy servant such great benefits. + +** I Chronicles 17:27 + +And thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be always before thee: for seeing thou blessest it, O Lord, it shall be blessed for ever. + +* I Chronicles 18 + +** I Chronicles 18:1 + +And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines, + +** I Chronicles 18:2 + +And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David's servants, and brought him gifts. + +** I Chronicles 18:3 + +At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates. + +** I Chronicles 18:4 + +And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself. + +** I Chronicles 18:5 + +And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men. + +** I Chronicles 18:6 + +And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went. + +** I Chronicles 18:7 + +And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem. + +** I Chronicles 18:8 + +Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. + +** I Chronicles 18:9 + +Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba, + +** I Chronicles 18:10 + +He sent Adoram his son to king David to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer. + +** I Chronicles 18:11 + +And all the vessels of gold, and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec. + +** I Chronicles 18:12 + +And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand: + +** I Chronicles 18:13 + +And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went. + +** I Chronicles 18:14 + +So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. + +** I Chronicles 18:15 + +And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder. + +** I Chronicles 18:16 + +And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe. + +** I Chronicles 18:17 + +And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king. + +* I Chronicles 19 + +** I Chronicles 19:1 + +Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. + +** I Chronicles 19:2 + +And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour tome. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon, + +** I Chronicles 19:3 + +The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land. + +** I Chronicles 19:4 + +Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away. + +** I Chronicles 19:5 + +And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return. + +** I Chronicles 19:6 + +And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba. + +** I Chronicles 19:7 + +And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle. + +** I Chronicles 19:8 + +And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men: + +** I Chronicles 19:9 + +And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field. + +** I Chronicles 19:10 + +Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians, + +** I Chronicles 19:11 + +And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon. + +** I Chronicles 19:12 + +And he said: If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee. + +** I Chronicles 19:13 + +Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight. + +** I Chronicles 19:14 + +So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight. + +** I Chronicles 19:15 + +And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem. + +** I Chronicles 19:16 + +But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader. + +** I Chronicles 19:17 + +And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him. + +** I Chronicles 19:18 + +But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army. + +** I Chronicles 19:19 + +And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more. + +* I Chronicles 20 + +** I Chronicles 20:1 + +And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed it. + +** I Chronicles 20:2 + +And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great. + +** I Chronicles 20:3 + +And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with all his people to Jerusalem. + +** I Chronicles 20:4 + +After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them. + +** I Chronicles 20:5 + +Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. + +** I Chronicles 20:6 + +There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha. + +** I Chronicles 20:7 + +He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him. These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants. + +* I Chronicles 21 + +** I Chronicles 21:1 + +And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel. + +** I Chronicles 21:2 + +And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it. + +** I Chronicles 21:3 + +And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel? + +** I Chronicles 21:4 + +But the king's word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem. + +** I Chronicles 21:5 + +And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men. + +** I Chronicles 21:6 + +But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king's orders. + +** I Chronicles 21:7 + +And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel. + +** I Chronicles 21:8 + +And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly. + +** I Chronicles 21:9 + +And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying: + +** I Chronicles 21:10 + +Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee. + +** I Chronicles 21:11 + +And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt: + +** I Chronicles 21:12 + +Either three years famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me. + +** I Chronicles 21:13 + +And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men. + +** I Chronicles 21:14 + +So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. + +** I Chronicles 21:15 + +And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. + +** I Chronicles 21:16 + +And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground. + +** I Chronicles 21:17 + +And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed. + +** I Chronicles 21:18 + +And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. + +** I Chronicles 21:19 + +And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord. + +** I Chronicles 21:20 + +Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor. + +** I Chronicles 21:21 + +And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground. + +** I Chronicles 21:22 + +And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people. + +** I Chronicles 21:23 + +And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly. + +** I Chronicles 21:24 + +And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost. + +** I Chronicles 21:25 + +So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight. + +** I Chronicles 21:26 + +And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust. + +** I Chronicles 21:27 + +And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath. + +** I Chronicles 21:28 + +And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there. + +** I Chronicles 21:29 + +But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon. + +** I Chronicles 21:30 + +And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord. + +* I Chronicles 22 + +** I Chronicles 22:1 + +Then David said: This is the house of God, And this is the altar for the holocaust of Israel. + +** I Chronicles 22:2 + +And he commanded to gather together all the proselytes of the land of Israel, and out of them he appointed stonecutters to hew stones and polish them, to build the house of God. + +** I Chronicles 22:3 + +And David prepared in abundance iron for the nails of the gates, and for the closures and joinings: and of brass an immense weight. + +** I Chronicles 22:4 + +And the cedar trees were without number, which the Sidonians, and Tyrians brought to David. + +** I Chronicles 22:5 + +And David said: Solomon my son is very young and tender, and the house which I would have to be built to the Lord, must be such as to be renowned in all countries: therefore I will prepare him necessaries. And therefore before his death he prepared all the charges. + +** I Chronicles 22:6 + +And he called for Solomon his son: and commanded him to build a house to the Lord the God of Israel. + +** I Chronicles 22:7 + +And David said to Solomon: My son, it was my desire to have built a house to the name of the Lord my God. + +** I Chronicles 22:8 + +But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Thou hast shed much blood, and fought many battles, so thou cannot not build house to my name, after shedding so much blood before me: + +** I Chronicles 22:9 + +The son, that shall be born to thee, shall be a most quiet man: for I will make him rest from all his enemies round about: and therefore he shall be called Peaceable: and I will give peace and quietness to Israel all his days. + +** I Chronicles 22:10 + +He shall build a house to my name, and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him: and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. + +** I Chronicles 22:11 + +Now then, my son, the Lord be with thee, and do thou prosper, and build the house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee. + +** I Chronicles 22:12 + +The Lord also give thee wisdom and understanding, that thou mayest be able to rule Israel, and to keep the law of the Lord thy God. + +** I Chronicles 22:13 + +For then thou shalt be able to prosper, if thou keep the commandments, and judgments, which the Lord commanded Moses to teach Israel: take courage and act manfully, fear not, nor be dismayed. + +** I Chronicles 22:14 + +Behold I in my poverty have prepared the charges of the house of the Lord, of gold a hundred thousand talents, and of silver a million of talents: but of brass, and of iron there is no weight, for the abundance surpasseth all account: timber also and stones I have prepared for all the charges. + +** I Chronicles 22:15 + +Thou hast also workmen in abundance, hewers of stones, and masons, and carpenters, and of all trades the most skilful in their work, + +** I Chronicles 22:16 + +In gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, whereof there is no number. Arise then, and be doing, and the Lord will be with thee. + +** I Chronicles 22:17 + +David also charged all the princes of Israel, to help Solomon his son, + +** I Chronicles 22:18 + +Saying: You see, that the Lord your God is with you, and hath given you rest round about, and hath delivered all your enemies into your hands, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people. + +** I Chronicles 22:19 + +Give therefore your hearts and your souls, to seek the Lord your God and arise, and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may be brought into the house, which is built to the name of the Lord. + +* I Chronicles 23 + +** I Chronicles 23:1 + +David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over Israel. + +** I Chronicles 23:2 + +And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites. + +** I Chronicles 23:3 + +And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men. + +** I Chronicles 23:4 + +Of these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers and judges. + +** I Chronicles 23:5 + +Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with. + +** I Chronicles 23:6 + +And David distributed them into courses by the families of the sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari. + +** I Chronicles 23:7 + +The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei. + +** I Chronicles 23:8 + +The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three. + +** I Chronicles 23:9 + +The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these were the heads of the families of Leedan. + +** I Chronicles 23:10 + +And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four. + +** I Chronicles 23:11 + +And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house. + +** I Chronicles 23:12 + +The sons of Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four. + +** I Chronicles 23:13 + +The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses.

Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? + +** I Corinthians 1:21 + +For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. + +** I Corinthians 1:22 + +For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom. + +** I Corinthians 1:23 + +But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness: + +** I Corinthians 1:24 + +But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. + +** I Corinthians 1:25 + +For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men. + +** I Corinthians 1:26 + +For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. + +** I Corinthians 1:27 + +But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. + +** I Corinthians 1:28 + +And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are: + +** I Corinthians 1:29 + +That no flesh should glory in his sight. + +** I Corinthians 1:30 + +But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption: + +** I Corinthians 1:31 + +That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord. + +* I Corinthians 2 + +** I Corinthians 2:1 + +And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ. + +** I Corinthians 2:2 + +For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified. + +** I Corinthians 2:3 + +And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. + +** I Corinthians 2:4 + +And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom. but in shewing of the Spirit and power: + +** I Corinthians 2:5 + +That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. + +** I Corinthians 2:6 + +Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought. + +** I Corinthians 2:7 + +But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: + +** I Corinthians 2:8 + +Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. + +** I Corinthians 2:9 + +But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. + +** I Corinthians 2:10 + +But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. + +** I Corinthians 2:11 + +For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God. + +** I Corinthians 2:12 + +Now, we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God: that we may know the things that are given us from God. + +** I Corinthians 2:13 + +Which things also we speak: not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. + +** I Corinthians 2:14 + +But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. + +** I Corinthians 2:15 + +But the spiritual man judgeth all things: and he himself is judged of no man. + +** I Corinthians 2:16 + +For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. + +* I Corinthians 3 + +** I Corinthians 3:1 + +And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ. + +** I Corinthians 3:2 + +I gave you milk to drink, not meat: for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able: for you are yet carnal. + +** I Corinthians 3:3 + +For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal and walk you not according to man? + +** I Corinthians 3:4 + +For while one saith: I indeed am of Paul: and another: I am of Apollo: are you not men? What then is Apollo and what is Paul? + +** I Corinthians 3:5 + +The ministers of him whom you have believed: and to every one as the Lord hath given. + +** I Corinthians 3:6 + +I have planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase. + +** I Corinthians 3:7 + +Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase. + +** I Corinthians 3:8 + +Now he that planteth and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour. + +** I Corinthians 3:9 + +For we are God's coadjutors. You are God's husbandry: you are God's building. + +** I Corinthians 3:10 + +According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. + +** I Corinthians 3:11 + +For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid: which is Christ Jesus. + +** I Corinthians 3:12 + +Now, if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble: + +** I Corinthians 3:13 + +Every man's work shall be manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire. And the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is. + +** I Corinthians 3:14 + +If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. + +** I Corinthians 3:15 + +If any mans work burn, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire. + +** I Corinthians 3:16 + +Know you not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? + +** I Corinthians 3:17 + +But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are. + +** I Corinthians 3:18 + +Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. + +** I Corinthians 3:19 + +For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness. + +** I Corinthians 3:20 + +And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. + +** I Corinthians 3:21 + +Let no man therefore glory in men. + +** I Corinthians 3:22 + +For all things are yours, whether it be Paul or Apollo or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. For all are yours. + +** I Corinthians 3:23 + +And you are Christ's. And Christ is God's. + +* I Corinthians 4 + +** I Corinthians 4:1 + +Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ and the dispensers of the mysteries of God. + +** I Corinthians 4:2 + +Here now it is required among the dispensers that a man be found faithful. + +** I Corinthians 4:3 + +But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you or by man's day. But neither do I judge my own self. + +** I Corinthians 4:4 + +For I am not conscious to myself of anything. Yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 4:5 + +Therefore, judge not before the time: until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise from God. + +** I Corinthians 4:6 + +But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes: that in us you may learn that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written. + +** I Corinthians 4:7 + +For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received, and if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? + +** I Corinthians 4:8 + +You are now full: you are now become rich: you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you. + +** I Corinthians 4:9 + +For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death. We are made a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men. + +** I Corinthians 4:10 + +We are fools for Christs sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honourable, but we without honour. + +** I Corinthians 4:11 + +Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no fixed abode. + +** I Corinthians 4:12 + +And we labour, working with our own hands. We are reviled: and we bless. We are persecuted: and we suffer it. + +** I Corinthians 4:13 + +We are blasphemed: and we entreat. We are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all, even until now. + +** I Corinthians 4:14 + +I write not these things to confound you: but I admonish you as my dearest children. + +** I Corinthians 4:15 + +For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you. + +** I Corinthians 4:16 + +Wherefore, I beseech you, be ye followers of me as I also am of Christ. + +** I Corinthians 4:17 + +For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord. Who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus: as I teach every where in every church. + +** I Corinthians 4:18 + +As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up. + +** I Corinthians 4:19 + +But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power. + +** I Corinthians 4:20 + +For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power. + +** I Corinthians 4:21 + +What will you? Shall I come to you with a rod? Or in charity and in the spirit of meekness? + +* I Corinthians 5 + +** I Corinthians 5:1 + +It is absolutely heard that there is fornication among you and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens: that one should have his father's wife. + +** I Corinthians 5:2 + +And you are puffed up and have not rather mourned: that he might be taken away from among you that hath done this thing. + +** I Corinthians 5:3 + +I indeed, absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done, + +** I Corinthians 5:4 + +In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus: + +** I Corinthians 5:5 + +To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. + +** I Corinthians 5:6 + +Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump? + +** I Corinthians 5:7 + +Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed. + +** I Corinthians 5:8 + +Therefore, let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. + +** I Corinthians 5:9 + +I wrote to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators. + +** I Corinthians 5:10 + +I mean not with the fornicators of this world or with the covetous or the extortioners or the servers of idols: otherwise you must needs go out of this world. + +** I Corinthians 5:11 + +But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator or covetous or a server of idols or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat. + +** I Corinthians 5:12 + +For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within? + +** I Corinthians 5:13 + +For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves. + +* I Corinthians 6 + +** I Corinthians 6:1 + +Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust: and not before the saints? + +** I Corinthians 6:2 + +Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? + +** I Corinthians 6:3 + +Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things of this world? + +** I Corinthians 6:4 + +If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge who are the most despised in the church. + +** I Corinthians 6:5 + +I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren? + +** I Corinthians 6:6 + +But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers. + +** I Corinthians 6:7 + +Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? + +** I Corinthians 6:8 + +But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren. + +** I Corinthians 6:9 + +Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers: + +** I Corinthians 6:10 + +Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God. + +** I Corinthians 6:11 + +And such some of you were. But you are washed: but you are sanctified: but you are justified: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God. + +** I Corinthians 6:12 + +All things are lawful to me: but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me: but I will not be brought under the power of any. + +** I Corinthians 6:13 + +Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body. + +** I Corinthians 6:14 + +Now God hath raised up the Lord and will raise us up also by his power. + +** I Corinthians 6:15 + +Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid! + +** I Corinthians 6:16 + +Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh. + +** I Corinthians 6:17 + +But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. + +** I Corinthians 6:18 + +Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. + +** I Corinthians 6:19 + +Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God: and you are not your own? + +** I Corinthians 6:20 + +For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body. + +* I Corinthians 7 + +** I Corinthians 7:1 + +Now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. + +** I Corinthians 7:2 + +But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife: and let every woman have her own husband. + +** I Corinthians 7:3 + +Let the husband render the debt to his wife: and the wife also in like manner to the husband. + +** I Corinthians 7:4 + +The wife hath not power of her own body: but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body: but the wife. + +** I Corinthians 7:5 + +Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer: and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency. + +** I Corinthians 7:6 + +But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment. + +** I Corinthians 7:7 + +For I would that all men were even as myself. But every one hath his proper gift from God: one after this manner, and another after that. + +** I Corinthians 7:8 + +But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I. + +** I Corinthians 7:9 + +But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt. + +** I Corinthians 7:10 + +But to them that are married, not I, but the Lord, commandeth that the wife depart not from her husband. + +** I Corinthians 7:11 + +And if she depart, that she remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife. + +** I Corinthians 7:12 + +For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not and she consent to dwell with him: let him not put her away. + +** I Corinthians 7:13 + +And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not and he consent to dwell with her: let her not put away her husband. + +** I Corinthians 7:14 + +For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife: and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband. Otherwise your children should be unclean: but now they are holy. + +** I Corinthians 7:15 + +But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace. + +** I Corinthians 7:16 + +For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? + +** I Corinthians 7:17 + +But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one: so let him walk. And so in all churches I teach. + +** I Corinthians 7:18 + +Is any man called, being circumcised? Let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. + +** I Corinthians 7:19 + +Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God. + +** I Corinthians 7:20 + +Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called. + +** I Corinthians 7:21 + +Wast thou called, being a bondman? Care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. + +** I Corinthians 7:22 + +For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ. + +** I Corinthians 7:23 + +You are bought with a price: be not made the bondslaves of men. + +** I Corinthians 7:24 + +Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God. + +** I Corinthians 7:25 + +Now, concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful. + +** I Corinthians 7:26 + +I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity: that it is good for a man so to be. + +** I Corinthians 7:27 + +Art thou bound to a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. + +** I Corinthians 7:28 + +But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you. + +** I Corinthians 7:29 + +This therefore I say, brethren: The time is short. It remaineth, that they also who have wives be as if they had none: + +** I Corinthians 7:30 + +And they that weep, as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not: and they that buy as if they possessed not: + +** I Corinthians 7:31 + +And they that use this world, as if they used it not. For the fashion of this world passeth away. + +** I Corinthians 7:32 + +But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord: how he may please God. + +** I Corinthians 7:33 + +But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world: how he may please his wife. And he is divided. + +** I Corinthians 7:34 + +And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord: that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world: how she may please her husband. + +** I Corinthians 7:35 + +And this I speak for your profit, not to cast a snare upon you, but for that which is decent and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment. + +** I Corinthians 7:36 + +But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will. He sinneth not if she marry. + +** I Corinthians 7:37 + +For he that hath determined, being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will: and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well. + +** I Corinthians 7:38 + +Therefore both he that giveth his virgin in marriage doth well: and he that giveth her not doth better. + +** I Corinthians 7:39 + +A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth: but if her husband die, she is at liberty. Let her marry to whom she will: only in the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 7:40 + +But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel. And I think that I also have the spirit of God. + +* I Corinthians 8 + +** I Corinthians 8:1 + +Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols: we know we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up: but charity edifieth. + +** I Corinthians 8:2 + +And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know. + +** I Corinthians 8:3 + +But if any man love God, the same is known by him. + +** I Corinthians 8:4 + +But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one. + +** I Corinthians 8:5 + +For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many and lords many): + +** I Corinthians 8:6 + +Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him: and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. + +** I Corinthians 8:7 + +But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol, eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol: and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. + +** I Corinthians 8:8 + +But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more: nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less. + +** I Corinthians 8:9 + +But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak. + +** I Corinthians 8:10 + +For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols? + +** I Corinthians 8:11 + +And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died? + +** I Corinthians 8:12 + +Now when you sin thus against the brethren and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. + +** I Corinthians 8:13 + +Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother. + +* I Corinthians 9 + +** I Corinthians 9:1 + +Am I not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord? + +** I Corinthians 9:2 + +And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 9:3 + +My defence with them that do examine me is this. + +** I Corinthians 9:4 + +Have not we power to eat and to drink? + +** I Corinthians 9:5 + +Have we not power to carry about a woman, a sister as well as the rest of the apostles and the brethren of the Lord and Cephas? + +** I Corinthians 9:6 + +Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this? + +** I Corinthians 9:7 + +Who serveth as a soldier, at any time, at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock and eateth not of the milk of the flock? + +** I Corinthians 9:8 + +Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say; these things? + +** I Corinthians 9:9 + +For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? + +** I Corinthians 9:10 + +Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit. + +** I Corinthians 9:11 + +If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things? + +** I Corinthians 9:12 + +If others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ. + +** I Corinthians 9:13 + +Know you not that they who work in the holy place eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar partake with the altar? + +** I Corinthians 9:14 + +So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel. + +** I Corinthians 9:15 + +But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die rather than that any man should make my glory void. + +** I Corinthians 9:16 + +For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me: for a necessity lieth upon me. For woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel. + +** I Corinthians 9:17 + +For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me. + +** I Corinthians 9:18 + +What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. + +** I Corinthians 9:19 + +For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more. + +** I Corinthians 9:20 + +And I became to the Jews a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: + +** I Corinthians 9:21 + +To them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law. + +** I Corinthians 9:22 + +To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all. + +** I Corinthians 9:23 + +And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be made partaker thereof. + +** I Corinthians 9:24 + +Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize. So run that you may obtain. + +** I Corinthians 9:25 + +And every one that striveth for the mastery refraineth himself from all things. And they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown: but we an incorruptible one. + +** I Corinthians 9:26 + +I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air. + +** I Corinthians 9:27 + +But I chastise my body and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway. + +* I Corinthians 10 + +** I Corinthians 10:1 + +For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud: and all passed through the sea. + +** I Corinthians 10:2 + +And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea: + +** I Corinthians 10:3 + +And did all eat the same spiritual food: + +** I Corinthians 10:4 + +And all drank the same spiritual drink: (And they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.) + +** I Corinthians 10:5 + +But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert. + +** I Corinthians 10:6 + +Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things, as they also coveted. + +** I Corinthians 10:7 + +Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. + +** I Corinthians 10:8 + +Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them that committed fornication: and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand. + +** I Corinthians 10:9 + +Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and perished by the serpent. + +** I Corinthians 10:10 + +Neither do you murmur, as some of them murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer. + +** I Corinthians 10:11 + +Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. + +** I Corinthians 10:12 + +Wherefore, he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall. + +** I Corinthians 10:13 + +Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it. + +** I Corinthians 10:14 + +Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols. + +** I Corinthians 10:15 + +I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say. + +** I Corinthians 10:16 + +The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? + +** I Corinthians 10:17 + +For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread. + +** I Corinthians 10:18 + +Behold Israel according to the flesh. Are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? + +** I Corinthians 10:19 + +What then? Do I say that what is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? Or that the idol is any thing? + +** I Corinthians 10:20 + +But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils. + +** I Corinthians 10:21 + +You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the table of devils. + +** I Corinthians 10:22 + +Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me: but all things are not expedient. + +** I Corinthians 10:23 + +All things are lawful for me: but all things do not edify. + +** I Corinthians 10:24 + +Let no man seek his own, but that which is another's. + +** I Corinthians 10:25 + +Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat: asking no question for conscience' sake. + +** I Corinthians 10:26 + +The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof. + +** I Corinthians 10:27 + +If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake. + +** I Corinthians 10:28 + +But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience' sake. + +** I Corinthians 10:29 + +Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? + +** I Corinthians 10:30 + +If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? + +** I Corinthians 10:31 + +Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God. + +** I Corinthians 10:32 + +Be without offence to the Jew, and to the Gentiles and to the church of God: + +** I Corinthians 10:33 + +As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself but to many: that they may be saved. + +* I Corinthians 11 + +** I Corinthians 11:1 + +Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ. + +** I Corinthians 11:2 + +Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you. + +** I Corinthians 11:3 + +But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man: and the head of Christ is God. + +** I Corinthians 11:4 + +Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraceth his head. + +** I Corinthians 11:5 + +But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven. + +** I Corinthians 11:6 + +For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head. + +** I Corinthians 11:7 + +The man indeed ought not to cover his head: because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. + +** I Corinthians 11:8 + +For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. + +** I Corinthians 11:9 + +For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man. + +** I Corinthians 11:10 + +Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels. + +** I Corinthians 11:11 + +But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 11:12 + +For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God. + +** I Corinthians 11:13 + +You yourselves judge. Doth it become a woman to pray unto God uncovered? + +** I Corinthians 11:14 + +Doth not even nature itself teach you that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him? + +** I Corinthians 11:15 + +But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. + +** I Corinthians 11:16 + +But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the Church of God. + +** I Corinthians 11:17 + +Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse. + +** I Corinthians 11:18 + +For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you. And in part I believe it. + +** I Corinthians 11:19 + +For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved may be made manifest among you. + +** I Corinthians 11:20 + +When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper. + +** I Corinthians 11:21 + +For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. + +** I Corinthians 11:22 + +What, have you no houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not. + +** I Corinthians 11:23 + +For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, + +** I Corinthians 11:24 + +And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me. + +** I Corinthians 11:25 + +In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. + +** I Corinthians 11:26 + +For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. + +** I Corinthians 11:27 + +Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 11:28 + +But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. + +** I Corinthians 11:29 + +For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 11:30 + +Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep. + +** I Corinthians 11:31 + +But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. + +** I Corinthians 11:32 + +But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world. + +** I Corinthians 11:33 + +Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. + +** I Corinthians 11:34 + +If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come. + +* I Corinthians 12 + +** I Corinthians 12:1 + +Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant. + +** I Corinthians 12:2 + +You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led. + +** I Corinthians 12:3 + +Wherefore, I give you to understand that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say The Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. + +** I Corinthians 12:4 + +Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit. + +** I Corinthians 12:5 + +And there are diversities of ministries. but the same Lord. + +** I Corinthians 12:6 + +And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all. + +** I Corinthians 12:7 + +And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit. + +** I Corinthians 12:8 + +To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: + +** I Corinthians 12:9 + +To another, faith in the same spirit: to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit: + +** I Corinthians 12:10 + +To another the working of miracles: to another, prophecy: to another, the discerning of spirits: to another, diverse kinds of tongues: to another, interpretation of speeches. + +** I Corinthians 12:11 + +But all these things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will. + +** I Corinthians 12:12 + +For as the body is one and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body: So also is Christ. + +** I Corinthians 12:13 + +For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink. + +** I Corinthians 12:14 + +For the body also is not one member, but many. + +** I Corinthians 12:15 + +If the foot should say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the Body? + +** I Corinthians 12:16 + +And if the ear should say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the body? + +** I Corinthians 12:17 + +If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? + +** I Corinthians 12:18 + +But now God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him. + +** I Corinthians 12:19 + +And if they all were one member, where would be the body? + +** I Corinthians 12:20 + +But now there are many members indeed, yet one body. + +** I Corinthians 12:21 + +And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help. Nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you. + +** I Corinthians 12:22 + +Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more necessary + +** I Corinthians 12:23 + +And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour: and those that are our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. + +** I Corinthians 12:24 + +But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour. + +** I Corinthians 12:25 + +That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another. + +** I Corinthians 12:26 + +And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it: or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it. + +** I Corinthians 12:27 + +Now you are the body of Christ and members of member. + +** I Corinthians 12:28 + +And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors: after that miracles: then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches. + +** I Corinthians 12:29 + +Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors? + +** I Corinthians 12:30 + +Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? + +** I Corinthians 12:31 + +But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way. + +* I Corinthians 13 + +** I Corinthians 13:1 + +If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. + +** I Corinthians 13:2 + +And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. + +** I Corinthians 13:3 + +And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. + +** I Corinthians 13:4 + +Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up, + +** I Corinthians 13:5 + +Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil: + +** I Corinthians 13:6 + +Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth: + +** I Corinthians 13:7 + +Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. + +** I Corinthians 13:8 + +Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void or tongues shall cease or knowledge shall be destroyed. + +** I Corinthians 13:9 + +For we know in part: and we prophesy in part. + +** I Corinthians 13:10 + +But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. + +** I Corinthians 13:11 + +When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. + +** I Corinthians 13:12 + +We see now through a glass in a dark manner: but then face to face. Now I know in part: but then I shall know even as I am known. + +** I Corinthians 13:13 + +And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity. + +* I Corinthians 14 + +** I Corinthians 14:1 + +Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. + +** I Corinthians 14:2 + +For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. + +** I Corinthians 14:3 + +But he that prophesieth speaketh to men unto edification and exhortation and comfort. + +** I Corinthians 14:4 + +He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. + +** I Corinthians 14:5 + +And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification. + +** I Corinthians 14:6 + +But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in doctrine? + +** I Corinthians 14:7 + +Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? + +** I Corinthians 14:8 + +For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? + +** I Corinthians 14:9 + +So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air. + +** I Corinthians 14:10 + +There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world: and none is without voice. + +** I Corinthians 14:11 + +If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian: and he that speaketh a barbarian to me. + +** I Corinthians 14:12 + +So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church. + +** I Corinthians 14:13 + +And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret. + +** I Corinthians 14:14 + +For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth: but my understanding is without fruit. + +** I Corinthians 14:15 + +What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding, I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding. + +** I Corinthians 14:16 + +Else, if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? Because he knoweth not what thou sayest. + +** I Corinthians 14:17 + +For thou indeed givest thanks well: but the other is not edified. + +** I Corinthians 14:18 + +I thank my God I speak with all your tongues. + +** I Corinthians 14:19 + +But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also: than ten thousand words in a tongue. + +** I Corinthians 14:20 + +Brethren, do not become children in sense. But in malice be children: and in sense be perfect. + +** I Corinthians 14:21 + +In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people: and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 14:22 + +Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers: but prophecies, not to unbelievers but to believers. + +** I Corinthians 14:23 + +If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad? + +** I Corinthians 14:24 + +But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all: he is judged of all. + +** I Corinthians 14:25 + +The secrets of his heart are made manifest. And so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed. + +** I Corinthians 14:26 + +How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification. + +** I Corinthians 14:27 + +If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course: and let one interpret. + +** I Corinthians 14:28 + +But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church and speak to himself and to God. + +** I Corinthians 14:29 + +And let the prophets speak, two or three: and let the rest judge. + +** I Corinthians 14:30 + +But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace. + +** I Corinthians 14:31 + +For you may all prophesy, one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted. + +** I Corinthians 14:32 + +And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. + +** I Corinthians 14:33 + +For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints. + +** I Corinthians 14:34 + +Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak but to be subject, as also the law saith. + +** I Corinthians 14:35 + +But if they would learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. + +** I Corinthians 14:36 + +Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you? + +** I Corinthians 14:37 + +If any seem to be a prophet or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord. + +** I Corinthians 14:38 + +But if any man know not, he shall not be known. + +** I Corinthians 14:39 + +Wherefore, brethren, be zealous to prophesy: and forbid not to speak with tongues. + +** I Corinthians 14:40 + +But let all things be done decently and according to order. + +* I Corinthians 15 + +** I Corinthians 15:1 + +Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received and wherein you stand. + +** I Corinthians 15:2 + +By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. + +** I Corinthians 15:3 + +For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: + +** I Corinthians 15:4 + +And that he was buried: and that he rose again on the third day according to the scriptures: + +** I Corinthians 15:5 + +And that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. + +** I Corinthians 15:6 + +Then was he seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep. + +** I Corinthians 15:7 + +After that, he was seen by James: then by all the apostles. + +** I Corinthians 15:8 + +And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due tine. + +** I Corinthians 15:9 + +For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. + +** I Corinthians 15:10 + +But by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me hath not been void: but I have laboured more abundantly than all they. Yet not I, but the grace of God with me: + +** I Corinthians 15:11 + +For whether I or they, so we preach: and so you have believed. + +** I Corinthians 15:12 + +Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? + +** I Corinthians 15:13 + +But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen again. + +** I Corinthians 15:14 + +And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain: and your faith is also vain. + +** I Corinthians 15:15 + +Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ, whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again. + +** I Corinthians 15:16 + +For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again. + +** I Corinthians 15:17 + +And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain: for you are yet in your sins. + +** I Corinthians 15:18 + +Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. + +** I Corinthians 15:19 + +If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. + +** I Corinthians 15:20 + +But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep: + +** I Corinthians 15:21 + +For by a man came death: and by a man the resurrection of the dead. + +** I Corinthians 15:22 + +And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. + +** I Corinthians 15:23 + +But every one in his own order: the firstfruits, Christ: then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming. + +** I Corinthians 15:24 + +Afterwards the end: when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father: when he shall have brought to nought all principality and power and virtue. + +** I Corinthians 15:25 + +For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet. + +** I Corinthians 15:26 + +And the enemy, death, shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith: + +** I Corinthians 15:27 + +All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him. + +** I Corinthians 15:28 + +And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. + +** I Corinthians 15:29 + +Otherwise, what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? Why are they then baptized for them? + +** I Corinthians 15:30 + +Why also are we in danger every hour? + +** I Corinthians 15:31 + +I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. + +** I Corinthians 15:32 + +If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die. + +** I Corinthians 15:33 + +Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners. + +** I Corinthians 15:34 + +Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak it to your shame. + +** I Corinthians 15:35 + +But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? Or with what manner of body shall they come? + +** I Corinthians 15:36 + +Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first. + +** I Corinthians 15:37 + +And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be: but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest. + +** I Corinthians 15:38 + +But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body. + +** I Corinthians 15:39 + +All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, other of birds, another of fishes. + +** I Corinthians 15:40 + +And there are bodies celestial and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial. + +** I Corinthians 15:41 + +One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory. + +** I Corinthians 15:42 + +So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption: it shall rise in incorruption. + +** I Corinthians 15:43 + +It is sown in dishonour: it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness: it shall rise in power. + +** I Corinthians 15:44 + +It is sown a natural body: it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written: + +** I Corinthians 15:45 + +The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit. + +** I Corinthians 15:46 + +Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural: afterwards that which is spiritual. + +** I Corinthians 15:47 + +The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly. + +** I Corinthians 15:48 + +Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly. + +** I Corinthians 15:49 + +Therefore, as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly. + +** I Corinthians 15:50 + +Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption. + +** I Corinthians 15:51 + +Behold, I tell you a mystery.

And the king adored in his bed: + +** I Kings 1:48 + +And he said: Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it. + +** I Kings 1:49 + +Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose, and every man went his way. + +** I Kings 1:50 + +And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose and went, and took hold of the horn of the altar. + +** I Kings 1:51 + +And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword. + +** I Kings 1:52 + +And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die. + +** I Kings 1:53 + +Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in, he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house. + +* I Kings 2 + +** I Kings 2:1 + +And the days of David drew nigh that he should die, and he charged his son Solomon, saying: + +** I Kings 2:2 + +I am going the way of all flesh: take thou courage and shew thyself a man. + +** I Kings 2:3 + +And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and observe his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayst understand all thou dost, and whithersoever thou shalt turn thyself: + +** I Kings 2:4 + +That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel. + +** I Kings 2:5 + +Thou knowest also what Joab, the son of Sarvia, hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. + +** I Kings 2:6 + +Do, therefore, according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down to hell in peace. + +** I Kings 2:7 + +But shew kindness to the sons of Berzellai, the Galaadite, and let them eat at thy table: for they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, thy brother. + +** I Kings 2:8 + +Thou hast also with thee Semei, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to the camp: but because he came down to meet me when I passed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying: I will not kill thee with the sword: + +** I Kings 2:9 + +Do not thou hold him guiltless. But thou art a wise man, and knowest what to do with him, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave. + +** I Kings 2:10 + +So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. + +** I Kings 2:11 + +And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three. + +** I Kings 2:12 + +And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly. + +** I Kings 2:13 + +And Adonias, the son of Haggith, came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? He answered: It is peaceable. + +** I Kings 2:14 + +And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said: + +** I Kings 2:15 + +Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother's: for it was appointed him by the Lord. + +** I Kings 2:16 + +Now therefore, I ask one petition of thee; turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on. + +** I Kings 2:17 + +And he said I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag, the Sunamitess, to wife. + +** I Kings 2:18 + +And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king. + +** I Kings 2:19 + +Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand. + +** I Kings 2:20 + +And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee; do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother ask, for I must not turn away thy face. + +** I Kings 2:21 + +And she said: Let Abisag, the Sunamitess, be given to Adonias, thy brother, to wife. + +** I Kings 2:22 + +And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag, the Sunamitess, for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom; for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Sarvia. + +** I Kings 2:23 + +Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life. + +** I Kings 2:24 + +And now, as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David, my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day. + +** I Kings 2:25 + +And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias, the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died. + +** I Kings 2:26 + +And the king said also to Abiathar, the priest: Go to Anathoth, to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured. + +** I Kings 2:27 + +So Solomon cast out Abiathar from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Silo. + +** I Kings 2:28 + +And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and took hold on the horn of the altar. + +** I Kings 2:29 + +And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias, the son of Joiada, saying. Go, kill him. + +** I Kings 2:30 + +And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me. + +** I Kings 2:31 + +And the king said to him: Do as he hath said; and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father: + +** I Kings 2:32 + +And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head; because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father, David, not knowing it; Abner, the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether general of the army of Juda; + +** I Kings 2:33 + +And their blood shall return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed, and his house, and to his throne, be peace for ever from the Lord. + +** I Kings 2:34 + +So Banaias, the son of Joiada, went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert. + +** I Kings 2:35 + +And the king appointed Banaias, the son of Joiada in his room over the army; and Sadoc, the priest, he put in the place of Abiathar. + +** I Kings 2:36 + +The king also sent, and called for Semei, and said to him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there: and go not out from thence any where. + +** I Kings 2:37 + +For on what day soever thou shalt go out, and shalt pass over the brook Cedron, know that thou shalt be put to death: thy blood shall be upon thy own head. + +** I Kings 2:38 + +And Semei said to the king: The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. + +** I Kings 2:39 + +And it came to pass after three years, that the servants of Semei ran away to Achis, the son of Maacha, the king of Geth: and it was told Semei that his servants were gone to Geth. + +** I Kings 2:40 + +And Semei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Achis, to Geth, to seek his servants, and he brought them out of Geth. + +** I Kings 2:41 + +And it was told Solomon, that Semei had gone from Jerusalem to Geth, and was come back. + +** I Kings 2:42 + +And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any where, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good. + +** I Kings 2:43 + +Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I laid upon thee? + +** I Kings 2:44 + +And the king said to Semei: Thou knowest all the evil, of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David, my father: the Lord hath returned thy wickedness upon thy own head. + +** I Kings 2:45 + +And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever. + +** I Kings 2:46 + +So the king commanded Banaias, the son of Joiada: and he went out and struck him; and he died. + +* I Kings 3 + +** I Kings 3:1 + +And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon, and he made affinity with Pharao, the king of Egypt: for he took his daughter, and brought her into the city of David: until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. + +** I Kings 3:2 + +But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: for there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day. + +** I Kings 3:3 + +And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David, his father; only he sacrificed in the high places, and burnt incense. + +** I Kings 3:4 + +He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts, did Solomon offer upon that altar, in Gabaon. + +** I Kings 3:5 + +And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee. + +** I Kings 3:6 + +And Solomon said: Thou hast shewed great mercy to thy servant David, my father, even as he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. + +** I Kings 3:7 + +And now, O Lord God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David, my father: and I am but a child, and know not how to go out and come in; + +** I Kings 3:8 + +And thy servant is in the midst of the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. + +** I Kings 3:9 + +Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, and discern between good and evil. For who shall be able to judge this people, thy people, which is so numerous? + +** I Kings 3:10 + +And the word was pleasing to the Lord, that Solomon had asked such a thing. + +** I Kings 3:11 + +And the Lord said to Solomon: Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life nor riches, nor the lives of thy enemies, but hast asked for thyself wisdom to discern judgment; + +** I Kings 3:12 + +Behold I have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, in so much that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee. + +** I Kings 3:13 + +Yea, and the things also which thou didst not ask, I have given thee; to wit, riches and glory: so that no one hath been like thee among the kings in all days heretofore. + +** I Kings 3:14 + +And if thou wilt walk in my ways, and keep my precepts and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy days. + +** I Kings 3:15 + +And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants. + +** I Kings 3:16 + +Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him. + +** I Kings 3:17 + +And one of them said: I beseech thee, my lord, I and this woman dwelt in one house, and I was delivered of a child with her in the chamber. + +** I Kings 3:18 + +And the third day after I was delivered, she also was delivered; and we were together, and no other person with us in the house; only we two. + +** I Kings 3:19 + +And this woman's child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him. + +** I Kings 3:20 + +And rising in the dead time of the night, she took my child from my side, while I, thy handmaid, was asleep, and laid it in her bosom: and laid her dead child in my bosom. + +** I Kings 3:21 + +And when I arose in the morning, to give my child suck, behold it was dead: but considering him more diligently, when it was clear day, I found that it was not mine which I bore. + +** I Kings 3:22 + +And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayest, but thy child is dead, and mine is alive. On the contrary, she said; Thou liest: for my child liveth, and thy child is dead. And in this manner they strove before the king. + +** I Kings 3:23 + +Then said the king: The one saith, My child is alive, and thy child is dead. And the other answereth: Nay; but thy child is dead, and mine liveth. + +** I Kings 3:24 + +The king therefore said: Bring me a sword. And when they had brought a sword before the king, + +** I Kings 3:25 + +Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other. + +** I Kings 3:26 + +But the woman, whose child was alive, said to the king; (for her bowels were moved upon her child) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine; but divide it. + +** I Kings 3:27 + +The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed; for she is the mother thereof. + +** I Kings 3:28 + +And all Israel heard the judgment which the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment. + +* I Kings 4 + +** I Kings 4:1 + +And king Solomon reigned over all Israel: + +** I Kings 4:2 + +And these were the princes which he had: Azarias, the son of Sadoc, the priest: + +** I Kings 4:3 + +Elihoreph, and Ahia, the sons of Sisa, scribes: Josaphat, the son of Ahilud, recorder: + +** I Kings 4:4 + +Banaias, the son of Joiada, over the army: and Sadoc, and Abiathar, priests. + +** I Kings 4:5 + +Azarias, the son of Nathan, over them that were about the king: Zabud, the son of Nathan, the priest, the king's friend: + +** I Kings 4:6 + +And Ahisar, governor of the house: and Adoniram, the son of Abda, over the tribute. + +** I Kings 4:7 + +And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and for his house hold: for every one provided necessaries, each man his month in the year. + +** I Kings 4:8 + +And these are their names: Benhur, in mount Ephraim. + +** I Kings 4:9 + +Bendecar, in Macces, and in Salebim, and in Bethsames, and in Elon, and in Bethanan. + +** I Kings 4:10 + +Benhesed, in Aruboth: his was Socho, and all the land of Epher. + +** I Kings 4:11 + +Benabinadab, to whom belonged all Nephath-Dor: he had Tapheth, the daughter of Solomon, to wife. + +** I Kings 4:12 + +Bana, the son of Ahilud, who governed Thanac, and Mageddo, and all Bethsan, which is by Sarthana, beneath Jezrael, from Bethsan unto Abelmehula, over against Jecmaan. + +** I Kings 4:13 + +Bengaber, in Ramoth Galaad: he had the town of Jair, the son of Manasses, in Galaad: he was chief in all the country of Argob, which is in Basan, threescore great cities with walls, and brazen bolts. + +** I Kings 4:14 + +Ahinadab, the son of Addo, was chief in Manaim. + +** I Kings 4:15 + +Achimaas, in Nephthali: he also had Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, to wife. + +** I Kings 4:16 + +Baana, the son of Husi, in Aser, and in Baloth. + +** I Kings 4:17 + +Josaphat, the son of Pharue, in Issachar. + +** I Kings 4:18 + +Semei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin. + +** I Kings 4:19 + +Gaber, the son of Uri, in the land of Galaad, in the land of Sehon, the king of the Amorrhites, and of Og, the king of Basan, over all that were in that land. + +** I Kings 4:20 + +Juda and Israel were innumerable, as the sand of the sea in multitude; eating and drinking, and rejoicing. + +** I Kings 4:21 + +And Solomon had under him all the kingdoms, from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt: and they brought him presents, and served him all the days of his life. + +** I Kings 4:22 + +And the provision of Solomon, for each day, was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal; + +** I Kings 4:23 + +Ten fat oxen, and twenty out of the pastures, and a hundred rams; besides venison of harts, roes, and buffles, and fatted fowls. + +** I Kings 4:24 + +For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about. + +** I Kings 4:25 + +And Juda, and Israel, dwelt without any fear, every one under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon. + +** I Kings 4:26 + +And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand for the saddle. + +** I Kings 4:27 + +And the foresaid governors of the king fed them; and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon's table, with great care, in their time. + +** I Kings 4:28 + +They brought barley also, and straw for the horses and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them. + +** I Kings 4:29 + +And God gave to Solomon wisdom, and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, as the sand that is on the sea shore. + +** I Kings 4:30 + +And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the Orientals, and of the Egyptians; + +** I Kings 4:31 + +And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda, the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about. + +** I Kings 4:32 + +Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five. + +** I Kings 4:33 + +And he treated about trees, from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes. + +** I Kings 4:34 + +And they came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who heard of his wisdom. + +* I Kings 5 + +** I Kings 5:1 + +And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David's friend. + +** I Kings 5:2 + +Solomon sent to Hiram, saying: + +** I Kings 5:3 + +Thou knowest the will of David, my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. + +** I Kings 5:4 + +But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about; and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence. + +** I Kings 5:5 + +Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: Thy son, whom I will set upon the throne, in thy place, he shall build a house to my name. + +** I Kings 5:6 + +Give orders, therefore, that thy servants cut me down cedar trees, out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask: for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians. + +** I Kings 5:7 + +Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people. + +** I Kings 5:8 + +And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me; and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees. + +** I Kings 5:9 + +My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats, on the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me, and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries to furnish food for my household. + +** I Kings 5:10 + +So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire. + +** I Kings 5:11 + +And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year. + +** I Kings 5:12 + +And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together. + +** I Kings 5:13 + +And king Solomon chose workmen out of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men. + +** I Kings 5:14 + +And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month, by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy. + +** I Kings 5:15 + +And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain: + +** I Kings 5:16 + +Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand and three hundred, that ruled over the people, and them that did the work. + +** I Kings 5:17 + +And the king commanded that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them: + +** I Kings 5:18 + +And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram, hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house. + +* I Kings 6 + +** I Kings 6:1 + +And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio, (the same is the second month) he began to build a house to the Lord. + +** I Kings 6:2 + +And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height. + +** I Kings 6:3 + +And there was a porch before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth, before the face of the temple. + +** I Kings 6:4 + +And he made in the temple oblique windows. + +** I Kings 6:5 + +And upon the wall of the temple, he built floors round about, in the walls of the house, round about the temple and the oracle, and he made chambers in the sides round about. + +** I Kings 6:6 + +The floor that was underneath was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third floor was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple. + +** I Kings 6:7 + +And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones, hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building. + +** I Kings 6:8 + +The door, for the middle side, was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third. + +** I Kings 6:9 + +So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar. + +** I Kings 6:10 + +And he built a floor over all the house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar. + +** I Kings 6:11 + +And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, + +** I Kings 6:12 + +As for this house, which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee, which I spoke to David thy father. + +** I Kings 6:13 + +And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel. + +** I Kings 6:14 + +So Solomon built the house, and finished it. + +** I Kings 6:15 + +And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roofs, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. + +** I Kings 6:16 + +And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies. + +** I Kings 6:17 + +And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits long. + +** I Kings 6:18 + +And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought, and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all. + +** I Kings 6:19 + +And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. + +** I Kings 6:20 + +Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered it, and overlaid it with most pure gold.

And one row had fifteen pillars, + +** I Kings 7:4 + +Set one against another, + +** I Kings 7:5 + +And looking one upon another, with equal space between the pillars, and over the pillars were square beams in all things equal. + +** I Kings 7:6 + +And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch, and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars. + +** I Kings 7:7 + +He made also the porch of the throne wherein is the seat of judgment; and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top. + +** I Kings 7:8 + +And in the midst of the porch, was a small house, where he sat in judgment of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch; + +** I Kings 7:9 + +All of costly stones, which were sawed by a certain rule and measure, both within and without: from the foundation to the top of the walls, and without, unto the great court. + +** I Kings 7:10 + +And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones of ten cubits or eight cubits. + +** I Kings 7:11 + +And above there were costly stones of equal measure hewed, and in like manner planks of cedar. + +** I Kings 7:12 + +And the great court was made round with three rows of hewed stones, and one row of planks of cedar, which also was observed in the inner court of the house of the Lord, and in the porch of the house. + +** I Kings 7:13 + +And king Solomon sent, and brought Hiram from Tyre, + +** I Kings 7:14 + +The son of a widow woman, of the tribe of Nephthali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artificer in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and skill to work all work in brass. And when he was come to king Solomon, he wrought all his work. + +** I Kings 7:15 + +And he cast two pillars in brass, each pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits compassed both the pillars. + +** I Kings 7:16 + +He made also two chapiters of molten brass, to be set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits: + +** I Kings 7:17 + +And a kind of network, and chain work wreathed together with wonderful art. Both the chapiters of the pillars were cast: seven rows of nets were on one chapiter, and seven nets on the other chapiter. + +** I Kings 7:18 + +And he made the pillars, and two rows round about each network to cover the chapiters, that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and in like manner did he to the other chapiter. + +** I Kings 7:19 + +And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in the porch of four cubits. + +** I Kings 7:20 + +And again there were other chapiters on the top of the pillars above, according to the measure of the pillar over against the network: and of pomegranates there were two hundred, in rows round about the other chapiter. + +** I Kings 7:21 + +And he set up the two pillars in the porch of the temple: and when he had set up the pillar on the right hand, he called the name thereof Jachin: in like manner he set up the second pillar, and called the name thereof Booz. + +** I Kings 7:22 + +And upon the tops of the pillars he made lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished. + +** I Kings 7:23 + +He made also a molten sea, of ten cubits, from brim to brim, round all about; the height of it was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about. + +** I Kings 7:24 + +And a graven work, under the brim of it, compassed it for ten cubits going about the sea: there were two rows cast of chamfered sculptures. + +** I Kings 7:25 + +And it stood upon twelve oxen, of which three looked towards the north, and three towards the west, and three towards the south, and three towards the east: and the sea was above upon them, and their hinder parts were all hid within. + +** I Kings 7:26 + +And the laver was a hand breadth thick: and the brim thereof was like the brim of a cup, or the leaf of a crisped lily: it contained two thousand bates. + +** I Kings 7:27 + +And he made ten bases of brass, every base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in breadth, and three cubits high. + +** I Kings 7:28 + +And the work itself of the bases, was intergraven: and there were gravings between the joinings. + +** I Kings 7:29 + +And between the little crowns and the ledges, were lions, and oxen, and cherubims; and in the joinings likewise above: and under the lions and oxen, as it were bands of brass hanging down. + +** I Kings 7:30 + +And every base had four wheels, and axletrees of brass: and at the four sides were undersetters, under the laver molten, looking one against another. + +** I Kings 7:31 + +The mouth also of the laver within, was in the top of the chapiter: and that which appeared without, was of one cubit all round, and together it was one cubit and a half: and in the corners of the pillars were divers engravings: and the spaces between the pillars were square, not round. + +** I Kings 7:32 + +And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined one to another under the base: the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. + +** I Kings 7:33 + +And they were such wheels as are used to be made in a chariot: and their axletrees, and spokes, and strakes, and naves, were all cast. + +** I Kings 7:34 + +And the four undersetters, that were at every corner of each base, were of the base itself, cast and joined together. + +** I Kings 7:35 + +And on the top of the base, there was a round compass of half a cubit, so wrought that the laver might be set thereon, having its gravings, and divers sculptures of itself. + +** I Kings 7:36 + +He engraved also in those plates, which were of brass, and in the corners, cherubims, and lions, and palm trees, in likeness of a man standing, so that they seemed not to be engraven, but added round about. + +** I Kings 7:37 + +After this manner, he made ten bases, of one casting and measure, and the like graving. + +** I Kings 7:38 + +He made also ten lavers of brass: one laver contained four bates, and was of four cubits: and upon every base, in all ten, he put as many lavers. + +** I Kings 7:39 + +And he set the ten bases, five on the right side of the temple, and five on the left: and the sea he put on the right side of the temple, over against the east southward. + +** I Kings 7:40 + +And Hiram made cauldrons, and shovels, and basins, and finished all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord. + +** I Kings 7:41 + +The two pillars and the two cords of the chapiters, upon the chapiters of the pillars: and the two networks, to cover the two cords, that were upon the top of the pillars. + +** I Kings 7:42 + +And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks: two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the cords of the chapiters, which were upon the tops of the pillars. + +** I Kings 7:43 + +And the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases. + +** I Kings 7:44 + +And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea. + +** I Kings 7:45 + +And the cauldrons, and the shovels, and the basins. All the vessels that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of fine brass. + +** I Kings 7:46 + +In the plains of the Jordan, did the king cast them in a clay ground, between Socoth and Sartham. + +** I Kings 7:47 + +And Solomon placed all the vessels: but for its exceeding great multitude the brass could not be weighed. + +** I Kings 7:48 + +And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the loaves of proposition should be set: + +** I Kings 7:49 + +And the golden candlesticks, five on the right hand, and five on the left, over against the oracle, of pure gold: and the flowers like lilies, and the lamps over them of gold: and golden snuffers, + +** I Kings 7:50 + +And pots, and fleshhooks, and bowls, and mortars, and censers, of most pure gold: and the hinges for the doors of the inner house of the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold. + +** I Kings 7:51 + +And Solomon finished all the work that he made in the house of the Lord, and brought in the things that David, his father, had dedicated, the silver and the gold, and the vessels, and laid them up in the treasures of the house of the Lord. + +* I Kings 8 + +** I Kings 8:1 + +Then all the ancients of Israel, with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel, were assembled to king Solomon, in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion. + +** I Kings 8:2 + +And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon, on the festival day, in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month. + +** I Kings 8:3 + +And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark, + +** I Kings 8:4 + +And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them. + +** I Kings 8:5 + +And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him, went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen, that could not be counted or numbered. + +** I Kings 8:6 + +And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubims. + +** I Kings 8:7 + +For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the ark, and the staves thereof above. + +** I Kings 8:8 + +And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without, in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day. + +** I Kings 8:9 + +Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. + +** I Kings 8:10 + +And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord, + +** I Kings 8:11 + +And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. + +** I Kings 8:12 + +Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud. + +** I Kings 8:13 + +Building, I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever. + +** I Kings 8:14 + +And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood. + +** I Kings 8:15 + +And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David, my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying: + +** I Kings 8:16 + +Since the day that I brought my people Israel, out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel. + +** I Kings 8:17 + +And David, my father, would have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel: + +** I Kings 8:18 + +And the Lord said to David, my father: Whereas, thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind. + +** I Kings 8:19 + +Nevertheless, thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name. + +** I Kings 8:20 + +The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke.

And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day. + +** I Kings 9:14 + +And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold. + +** I Kings 9:15 + +This is the sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer. + +** I Kings 9:16 + +Pharao, the king of Egypt, came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife. + +** I Kings 9:17 + +So Solomon built Gazer, and Bethhoron the nether, + +** I Kings 9:18 + +And Baalath, and Palmira, in the land of the wilderness. + +** I Kings 9:19 + +And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified; the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. + +** I Kings 9:20 + +All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of Israel: + +** I Kings 9:21 + +Their children, that were left in the land; to wit, such as the children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary unto this day. + +** I Kings 9:22 + +But of the children of Israel, Solomon made not any to be bondmen, but they were warriors, and his servants, and his princes, and captains, and overseers of the chariots and horses. + +** I Kings 9:23 + +And there were five hundred and fifty chief officers set over all the works of Solomon, and they had people under them, and had charge over the appointed works. + +** I Kings 9:24 + +And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello. + +** I Kings 9:25 + +Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and victims of peace offerings, upon the altar which he had built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished. + +** I Kings 9:26 + +And king Solomon made a fleet in Asiongaber, which is by Ailath, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. + +** I Kings 9:27 + +And Hiram sent his servants in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. + +** I Kings 9:28 + +And they came to Ophir; and they brought from thence to king Solomon four hundred and twenty talents of gold. + +* I Kings 10 + +** I Kings 10:1 + +And the queen of Saba having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions. + +** I Kings 10:2 + +And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart. + +** I Kings 10:3 + +And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her. + +** I Kings 10:4 + +And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built, + +** I Kings 10:5 + +And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her; + +** I Kings 10:6 + +And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country, + +** I Kings 10:7 + +Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works exceed the fame which I heard. + +** I Kings 10:8 + +Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom. + +** I Kings 10:9 + +Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice. + +** I Kings 10:10 + +And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon. + +** I Kings 10:11 + +(The navy also of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir great plenty of thyine trees, and precious stones. + +** I Kings 10:12 + +And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house: and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought nor seen unto this day.) + +** I Kings 10:13 + +And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered her of himself of his royal bounty.

But he answered: Nothing; yet I beseech thee to let me go. + +** I Kings 11:23 + +God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Adarezer, the king of Soba. + +** I Kings 11:24 + +And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus. + +** I Kings 11:25 + +And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel; and he reigned in Syria. + +** I Kings 11:26 + +Jeroboam also, the son of Nabat, an Ephrathite, of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king. + +** I Kings 11:27 + +And this is the cause of his rebellion against him; for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David, his father. + +** I Kings 11:28 + +And Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house of Joseph. + +** I Kings 11:29 + +So it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias, the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the field. + +** I Kings 11:30 + +And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts: + +** I Kings 11:31 + +And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes. + +** I Kings 11:32 + +But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant, David, and Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel: + +** I Kings 11:33 + +Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos, the god of Moab, and Moloch, the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments, as did David, his father. + +** I Kings 11:34 + +Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments, and my precepts. + +** I Kings 11:35 + +But I will take away the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give thee ten tribes: + +** I Kings 11:36 + +And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant, David, before me always in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there. + +** I Kings 11:37 + +And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel. + +** I Kings 11:38 + +If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David, my servant, did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee: + +** I Kings 11:39 + +And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever. + +** I Kings 11:40 + +Solomon, therefore, sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt, to Sesac, the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon. + +** I Kings 11:41 + +And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon. + +** I Kings 11:42 + +And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were forty years. + +** I Kings 11:43 + +And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, his father; and Roboam, his son, reigned in his stead. + +* I Kings 12 + +** I Kings 12:1 + +And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither were all Israel come together to make him king. + +** I Kings 12:2 + +But Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt. + +** I Kings 12:3 + +And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam came, and all the multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying: + +** I Kings 12:4 + +Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now, therefore, do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee. + +** I Kings 12:5 + +And he said to them: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone, + +** I Kings 12:6 + +King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon, his father, while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people? + +** I Kings 12:7 + +They said to him: If thou wilt yield to this people to day, and condescend to them, and grant their petition, and wilt speak gentle words to them, they will be thy servants always. + +** I Kings 12:8 + +But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that had been brought up with him, and stood before him. + +** I Kings 12:9 + +And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke, which thy father put upon us, lighter? + +** I Kings 12:10 + +And the young men that had been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father. + +** I Kings 12:11 + +And now my father put a heavy yoke upon you, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions. + +** I Kings 12:12 + +So Jeroboam, and all the people, came to Roboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying: Come to me again the third day. + +** I Kings 12:13 + +And the king answered the people roughly, leaving the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, + +** I Kings 12:14 + +And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions. + +** I Kings 12:15 + +And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat. + +** I Kings 12:16 + +Then the people, seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel: now, David, look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings. + +** I Kings 12:17 + +But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them. + +** I Kings 12:18 + +Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem: + +** I Kings 12:19 + +And Israel revolted from the house of David, unto this day. + +** I Kings 12:20 + +And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only. + +** I Kings 12:21 + +And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred fourscore thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel, and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam, the son of Solomon. + +** I Kings 12:22 + +But the word of the Lord came to Semeias, the man of God, saying: + +** I Kings 12:23 + +Speak to Roboam, the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying: + +** I Kings 12:24 + +Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren, the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them. + +** I Kings 12:25 + +And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence, he built Phanuel. + +** I Kings 12:26 + +And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David, + +** I Kings 12:27 + +If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam, the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him. + +** I Kings 12:28 + +And finding out a device, he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt. + +** I Kings 12:29 + +And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan: + +** I Kings 12:30 + +And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf as far as Dan. + +** I Kings 12:31 + +And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. + +** I Kings 12:32 + +And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda.

And when they had saddled it, + +** I Kings 13:28 + +And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass. + +** I Kings 13:29 + +And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him. + +** I Kings 13:30 + +And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas, my brother. + +** I Kings 13:31 + +And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones. + +** I Kings 13:32 + +For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord, against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria. + +** I Kings 13:33 + +After these words, Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary, he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places. + +** I Kings 13:34 + +And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off, and destroyed from the face of the earth. + +* I Kings 14 + +** I Kings 14:1 + +At that time Abia, the son of Jeroboam, fell sick. + +** I Kings 14:2 + +And Jeroboam said to his wife: Arise, and change thy dress, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Silo, where Ahias, the prophet is, who told me that I should reign over this people. + +** I Kings 14:3 + +Take also with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a pot of honey, and go to him: for he will tell thee what will become of this child. + +** I Kings 14:4 + +Jeroboam's wife did as he told her: and rising up, went to Silo, and came to the house of Ahias; but he could not see, for his eyes were dim by reason of his age. + +** I Kings 14:5 + +And the Lord said to Ahias: Behold the wife of Jeroboam cometh in, to consult thee concerning her son, that is sick: thus and thus shalt thou speak to her. So when she was coming in, and made as if she were another woman, + +** I Kings 14:6 + +Ahias heard the sound of her feet, coming in at the door, and said: Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam: why dost thou feign thyself to be another? But I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. + +** I Kings 14:7 + +Go, and tell Jeroboam: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: For as much as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel; + +** I Kings 14:8 + +And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant, David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight: + +** I Kings 14:9 + +But hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast made thee strange gods, and molten gods, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: + +** I Kings 14:10 + +Therefore, behold I will bring evils upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel: and I will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as dung is swept away till all be clean. + +** I Kings 14:11 + +Them that shall die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that shall die in the field, the birds of the air shall devour: for the Lord hath spoken it. + +** I Kings 14:12 + +Arise thou, therefore, and go to thy house: and when thy feet shall be entering into the city, the child shall die, + +** I Kings 14:13 + +And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, because in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. + +** I Kings 14:14 + +And the Lord hath appointed himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam in this day, and in this time: + +** I Kings 14:15 + +And the Lord God shall strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water: and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river: because they have made to themselves groves, to provoke the Lord. + +** I Kings 14:16 + +And the Lord shall give up Israel for the sins of Jeroboam, who hath sinned, and made Israel to sin. + +** I Kings 14:17 + +And the wife of Jeroboam arose, and departed, and came to Thersa: and when she was coming in to the threshold of the house, the child died, + +** I Kings 14:18 + +And they buried him. And all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahias, the prophet. + +** I Kings 14:19 + +And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel. + +** I Kings 14:20 + +And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead. + +** I Kings 14:21 + +And Roboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess. + +** I Kings 14:22 + +And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed. + +** I Kings 14:23 + +For they also built them altars, and statues, and groves, upon every high hill, and under every green tree: + +** I Kings 14:24 + +There were also the effeminate in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people, whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel. + +** I Kings 14:25 + +And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem. + +** I Kings 14:26 + +And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the king's treasures, and carried all off: as also the shields of gold which Solomon had made: + +** I Kings 14:27 + +And Roboam made shields of brass instead of them, and delivered them into the hand of the captains of the shieldbearers, and of them that kept watch before the gate of the king's house. + +** I Kings 14:28 + +And when the king went into the house of the Lord, they whose office it was to go before him, carried them: and afterwards they brought them back to the armoury of the shieldbearers. + +** I Kings 14:29 + +Now the rest of the acts of Roboam, and all that he did, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda. + +** I Kings 14:30 + +And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam always. + +** I Kings 14:31 + +And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them, in the city of David: and his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess: and Abiam, his son, reigned in his stead. + +* I Kings 15 + +** I Kings 15:1 + +Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda. + +** I Kings 15:2 + +He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. + +** I Kings 15:3 + +And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father. + +** I Kings 15:4 + +But for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: + +** I Kings 15:5 + +Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias, the Hethite. + +** I Kings 15:6 + +But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life. + +** I Kings 15:7 + +And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam. + +** I Kings 15:8 + +And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead. + +** I Kings 15:9 + +So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Asa, king of Juda, + +** I Kings 15:10 + +And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. + +** I Kings 15:11 + +And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father: + +** I Kings 15:12 + +And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made. + +** I Kings 15:13 + +Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron: + +** I Kings 15:14 + +But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days: + +** I Kings 15:15 + +And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels. + +** I Kings 15:16 + +And there was war between Asa, and Baasa, king of Israel, all their days. + +** I Kings 15:17 + +And Baasa, king of Israel, went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in of the side of Asa, king of Juda. + +** I Kings 15:18 + +Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad, son of Tabremon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying: + +** I Kings 15:19 + +There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa, king of Israel, that he may depart from me. + +** I Kings 15:20 + +Benadad, hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth; that is all the land of Nephthali. + +** I Kings 15:21 + +And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa. + +** I Kings 15:22 + +But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them king Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha. + +** I Kings 15:23 + +But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. + +** I Kings 15:24 + +And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Josaphat, his son, reigned in his place. + +** I Kings 15:25 + +But Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel the second year of Asa, king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years. + +** I Kings 15:26 + +And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. + +** I Kings 15:27 + +And Baasa, the son of Ahias, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon. + +** I Kings 15:28 + +So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa, king of Juda, and reigned in his place. + +** I Kings 15:29 + +And when he was king, he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite: + +** I Kings 15:30 + +Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence wherewith he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel. + +** I Kings 15:31 + +But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? + +** I Kings 15:32 + +And there was war between Asa and Baasa, the king of Israel, all their days. + +** I Kings 15:33 + +In the third year of Asa, king of Juda, Baasa, the son of Ahias, reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years. + +** I Kings 15:34 + +And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. + +* I Kings 16 + +** I Kings 16:1 + +Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasa, saying: + +** I Kings 16:2 + +For as much as I have exalted thee out of the dust and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins: + +** I Kings 16:3 + +Behold I will cut down the posterity of Baasa, and the posterity of his house, and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat. + +** I Kings 16:4 + +Him that dieth of Baasa, in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour. + +** I Kings 16:5 + +But the rest of the acts of Baasa, and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

+ +** I Kings 16:15 + +In the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon, a city of the Philistines. + +** I Kings 16:16 + +And when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day. + +** I Kings 16:17 + +And Amri went up, and all Israel with him, from Gebbethon, and they besieged Thersa. + +** I Kings 16:18 + +And Zambri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace, and burnt himself with the king's house: and he died + +** I Kings 16:19 + +In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made Israel to sin. + +** I Kings 16:20 + +But the rest of the acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? + +** I Kings 16:21 + +Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thebni, the son of Gineth, to make him king: and one half followed Amri. + +** I Kings 16:22 + +But the people that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni, the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned. + +** I Kings 16:23 + +In the one and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years. + +** I Kings 16:24 + +And he bought the hill of Samaria of Semer, for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer, the owner of the hill. + +** I Kings 16:25 + +And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that were before him. + +** I Kings 16:26 + +And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities. + +** I Kings 16:27 + +Now the rest of the acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? + +** I Kings 16:28 + +And Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab, his son, reigned in his stead. + +** I Kings 16:29 + +Now Achab, the son of Amri, reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda.

Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here. + +** I Kings 18:9 + +And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me, thy servant, into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me? + +** I Kings 18:10 + +As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when all answered: He is not here: he took an oath of every kingdom and nation, because thou wast not found. + +** I Kings 18:11 + +And now thou sayest to me: Go and tell thy master: Elias is here. + +** I Kings 18:12 + +And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab; and he, not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy. + +** I Kings 18:13 + +Hath it not been told thee, my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord; how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water? + +** I Kings 18:14 + +And now thou sayest: Go and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me. + +** I Kings 18:15 + +And Elias said: As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whose face I stand, this day I will shew myself unto him. + +** I Kings 18:16 + +Abdias therefore went to meet Achab, and told him: and Achab came to meet Elias. + +** I Kings 18:17 + +And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel? + +** I Kings 18:18 + +And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim. + +** I Kings 18:19 + +Nevertheless send now, and gather unto me all Israel, unto Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezabel's table. + +** I Kings 18:20 + +Achab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel. + +** I Kings 18:21 + +And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long do you halt between two sides? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word. + +** I Kings 18:22 + +And Elias said again to the people: I only remain a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men. + +** I Kings 18:23 + +Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it. + +** I Kings 18:24 + +Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God. And all the people answering, said: A very good proposal. + +** I Kings 18:25 + +Then Elias said to the prophets of Baal: Choose you one bullock and dress it first, because you are many: and call on the names of your gods; but put no fire under. + +** I Kings 18:26 + +And they took the bullock, which he gave them, and dressed it: and they 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 over the altar that they had made. + +** I Kings 18:27 + +And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a god; and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey; or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked. + +** I Kings 18:28 + +So they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were all covered with blood. + +** I Kings 18:29 + +And after midday was past, and while they were prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they prayed. + +** I Kings 18:30 + +Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down: + +** I Kings 18:31 + +And he took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name. + +** I Kings 18:32 + +And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows, round about the altar. + +** I Kings 18:33 + +And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood. + +** I Kings 18:34 + +And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time. + +** I Kings 18:35 + +And the water run round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water. + +** I Kings 18:36 + +And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias, the prophet, came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things. + +** I Kings 18:37 + +Dear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again. + +** I Kings 18:38 + +Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. + +** I Kings 18:39 + +And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces, and they said: The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God. + +** I Kings 18:40 + +And Elias said to them: Take the prophets of Baal, and let not one of them escape. And when they had taken them, Elias brought them down to the torrent Cison, and killed them there. + +** I Kings 18:41 + +And Elias said to Achab: Go up, eat and drink: for there is a sound of abundance of rain. + +** I Kings 18:42 + +Achab went up to eat and drink: and Elias went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth, put his face between his knees, + +** I Kings 18:43 + +And he said to his servant: Go up, and look towards the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said: There is nothing. And again he said to him: Return seven times. + +** I Kings 18:44 + +And at the seventh time: Behold a little cloud arose out of the sea like a man's foot. And he said: Go up, and say to Achab: Prepare thy chariot, and go down, lest the rain prevent thee. + +** I Kings 18:45 + +And while he turned himself this way and that way, behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds and wind, and there fell a great rain. And Achab getting up, went away to Jezrahel: + +** I Kings 18:46 + +And the hand of the Lord was upon Elias, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Achab, till he came to Jezrahel. + +* I Kings 19 + +** I Kings 19:1 + +And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. + +** I Kings 19:2 + +And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour to morrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them. + +** I Kings 19:3 + +Then EIias was afraid, and rising up, he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there, + +** I Kings 19:4 + +And he went forward, one day's journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord; take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers. + +** I Kings 19:5 + +And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat. + +** I Kings 19:6 + +He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again. + +** I Kings 19:7 + +And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go. + +** I Kings 19:8 + +And he arose, and ate and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb. + +** I Kings 19:9 + +And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave. and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias? + +** I Kings 19:10 + +And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away. + +** I Kings 19:11 + +And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord, overthrowing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: but the Lord is not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: but the Lord is not in the earthquake. + +** I Kings 19:12 + +And after the earthquake, a fire: but the Lord is not in the fire. And after the fire, a whistling of a gentle air. + +** I Kings 19:13 + +And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth, stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered: + +** I Kings 19:14 + +With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away. + +** I Kings 19:15 + +And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way, through the desert, to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria; + +** I Kings 19:16 + +And thou shalt anoint Jehu, the son of Namsi, to be king over Israel: and Eliseus, the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room. + +** I Kings 19:17 + +And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus. + +** I Kings 19:18 + +And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him, kissing the hands. + +** I Kings 19:19 + +And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus, the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with, twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him. + +** I Kings 19:20 + +And he forthwith left the oxen, and run after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee. + +** I Kings 19:21 + +And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up, he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him. + +* I Kings 20 + +** I Kings 20:1 + +And Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his host, and there were two and thirty kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and going up, he fought against Samaria, and besieged it. + +** I Kings 20:2 + +And sending messengers to Achab, king of Israel, into the city, + +** I Kings 20:3 + +He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver and thy gold is mine: and thy wives and thy goodliest children are mine. + +** I Kings 20:4 + +And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all that I have. + +** I Kings 20:5 + +And the messengers came again, and said: Thus saith Benadad, who sent us unto thee: Thy silver and thy gold, and thy wives and thy children, thou shalt deliver up to me. + +** I Kings 20:6 + +To morrow, therefore, at this same hour, I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away. + +** I Kings 20:7 + +And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay. + +** I Kings 20:8 + +And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him. + +** I Kings 20:9 + +Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord, the king: All that thou didst send for to me, thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do. + +** I Kings 20:10 + +And the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again, and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me. + +** I Kings 20:11 + +And the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the ungirded. + +** I Kings 20:12 + +And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it. + +** I Kings 20:13 + +And behold a prophet coming to Achab, king of Israel, said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Hast thou seen all this exceeding great multitude? behold I will deliver them into thy hand this day: that thou mayst know that I am the Lord. + +** I Kings 20:14 + +And Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight? And he said: Thou. + +** I Kings 20:15 + +So he mustered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and he found the number of two hundred and thirty-two: and he mustered after them the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand: + +** I Kings 20:16 + +And they went out at noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help him. + +** I Kings 20:17 + +And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first. And Benadad sent. And they told him, saying: There are men come out of Samaria. + +** I Kings 20:18 + +And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive. + +** I Kings 20:19 + +So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed: + +** I Kings 20:20 + +And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad, king of Syria, fled away on horseback with his horsemen. + +** I Kings 20:21 + +But the king of Israel going out overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. + +** I Kings 20:22 + +(And a prophet coming to the king of Israel, said to him: Go, and strengthen thyself, and know, and see what thou dost: for the next year the king of Syria will come up against thee.) + +** I Kings 20:23 + +But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome them. + +** I Kings 20:24 + +Do thou, therefore, this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead: + +** I Kings 20:25 + +And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses, according to the former horses, and chariots, according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel, and did so. + +** I Kings 20:26 + +Wherefore, at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphec, to fight against Israel. + +** I Kings 20:27 + +And the children of Israel were mustered, and taking victuals, went out on the other side, and encamped over against them, like two little flocks of goats: but the Syrians filled the land. + +** I Kings 20:28 + +(And a man of God coming, said to the king of Israel: Thus saith the Lord: Because the Syrians have said: The Lord is God of the hills, but is not God of the valleys: I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.) + +** I Kings 20:29 + +And both sides set their armies in array one against the other seven days, and on the seventh day the battle was fought: and the children of Israel slew, of the Syrians, a hundred thousand footmen in one day. + +** I Kings 20:30 + +And they that remained fled to Aphec, into the city: and the wall fell upon seven and twenty thousand men, that were left. And Benadad fleeing, went into the city, into a chamber that was within a chamber. + +** I Kings 20:31 + +And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful; so let us put sackcloths on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives. + +** I Kings 20:32 + +So they girded sackcloths on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said to him: Thy servant, Benadad, saith: I beseech thee let me have my life. And he said: If he be yet alive, he is my brother. + +** I Kings 20:33 + +The men took this for good luck: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot. + +** I Kings 20:34 + +And he said to him: The cities which my father took from thy father, I will restore: and do thou make thee streets in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria and having made a league, I will depart from thee. So he made a league with him, and let him go. + +** I Kings 20:35 + +Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said to his companion, in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike. + +** I Kings 20:36 + +Then he said to him: Because thou wouldst not hearken to the word of the Lord, behold thou shalt depart from me, and a lion shall slay thee. And when he was gone a little from him, a lion found him, and slew him. + +** I Kings 20:37 + +Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him and wounded him. + +** I Kings 20:38 + +So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes. + +** I Kings 20:39 + +And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver. + +** I Kings 20:40 + +And whilst I, in the hurry, turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed. + +** I Kings 20:41 + +But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets. + +** I Kings 20:42 + +And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord. Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people. + +** I Kings 20:43 + +And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria. + +* I Kings 21 + +** I Kings 21:1 + +And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard, near the palace of Achab, king of Samaria. + +** I Kings 21:2 + +And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. + +** I Kings 21:3 + +Naboth answered him: The Lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers. + +** I Kings 21:4 + +And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth, the Jezrahelite, had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread. + +** I Kings 21:5 + +And Jezabel, his wife, went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread? + +** I Kings 21:6 + +And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth, the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard. + +** I Kings 21:7 + +Then Jezabel, his wife, said to him. Thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of Israel. Arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite. + +** I Kings 21:8 + +So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth. + +** I Kings 21:9 + +And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclaim a fast, and make Naboth sit among the chief of the people; + +** I Kings 21:10 + +And suborn two men, sons of Belial, against him. and let them bear false witness; that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die. + +** I Kings 21:11 + +And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them; + +** I Kings 21:12 + +They proclaimed a fast, and made Naboth sit among the chief of the people. + +** I Kings 21:13 + +And bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people: saying: Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death. + +** I Kings 21:14 + +And they sent to Jezabel, saying: Naboth is stoned, and is dead. + +** I Kings 21:15 + +And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise, and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. + +** I Kings 21:16 + +And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down into the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it. + +** I Kings 21:17 + +And the word of the Lord came to Elias, the Thesbite, saying: + +** I Kings 21:18 + +Arise, and go down to meet Achab, king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it: + +** I Kings 21:19 + +And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast slain: moreover also thou hast taken possession. And after these words thou shalt add: Thus saith the Lord: In this place, wherein the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick thy blood also. + +** I Kings 21:20 + +And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord. + +** I Kings 21:21 + +Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel. + +** I Kings 21:22 + +And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias: for what thou hast done to provoke me to anger, and for making Israel to sin. + +** I Kings 21:23 + +And of Jezabel also, the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel. + +** I Kings 21:24 + +If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him. + +** I Kings 21:25 + +Now, there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife, Jezabel, set him on, + +** I Kings 21:26 + +And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel. + +** I Kings 21:27 + +And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down. + +** I Kings 21:28 + +And the word of the Lord came to Elias, the Thesbite, saying: + +** I Kings 21:29 + +Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself, for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. + +* I Kings 22 + +** I Kings 22:1 + +And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel. + +** I Kings 22:2 + +And in the third year, Josaphat, king of Juda, came down to the king of Israel. + +** I Kings 22:3 + +(And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?) + +** I Kings 22:4 + +And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad? + +** I Kings 22:5 + +And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: As I am, so art thou: my people and thy people are one: and my horsemen are thy horsemen. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, this day the word of the Lord. + +** I Kings 22:6 + +Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king. + +** I Kings 22:7 + +And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him? + +** I Kings 22:8 + +And the king of Israel said to Josaphat. There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; Micheas, the son of Jemla: but I hate him, for he doth not prophecy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king. + +** I Kings 22:9 + +Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas, the son of Jemla. + +** I Kings 22:10 + +And the king of Israel, and Josaphat, king of Juda, sat each on his throne, clothed with royal robes, in a court, by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them. + +** I Kings 22:11 + +And Sedecias, the son of Chanaana, made himself horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it. + +** I Kings 22:12 + +And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king's hands. + +** I Kings 22:13 + +And the messenger that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one mouth declare good things to the king: let thy word, therefore, be like to theirs, and speak that which is good. + +** I Kings 22:14 + +But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak. + +** I Kings 22:15 + +So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king's hands. + +** I Kings 22:16 + +But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true, in the name of the Lord. + +** I Kings 22:17 + +And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd; and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace. + +** I Kings 22:18 + +(Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?) + +** I Kings 22:19 + +And he added and said: Hear thou, therefore, the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left: + +** I Kings 22:20 + +And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab, king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise. + +** I Kings 22:21 + +And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means? + +** I Kings 22:22 + +And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit, in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so. + +** I Kings 22:23 + +Now, therefore, behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee. + +** I Kings 22:24 + +And Sedecias, the son of Chanaana, came, and struck Micheas on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to thee? + +** I Kings 22:25 + +And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself. + +** I Kings 22:26 + +And the king of Israel said: Take Micheas and let him abide with Amon, the governor of the city, and with Joas, the son of Amalech; + +** I Kings 22:27 + +And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress till I return in peace. + +** I Kings 22:28 + +And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me.

+ +** I Maccabees 2:16 + +And many of the people of Israel consented and came to them: but Mathathias and his sons stood firm. + +** I Maccabees 2:17 + +And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren. + +** I Maccabees 2:18 + +Therefore, come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents. + +** I Maccabees 2:19 + +Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments: + +** I Maccabees 2:20 + +I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers. + +** I Maccabees 2:21 + +God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God: + +** I Maccabees 2:22 + +We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way. + +** I Maccabees 2:23 + +Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment. + +** I Maccabees 2:24 + +And Mathathias saw, and was grieved, and his reins trembled, and his wrath was kindled according to the judgment of the law, and running upon him he slew him upon the altar: + +** I Maccabees 2:25 + +Moreover the man whom king Antiochus had sent, who compelled them to sacrifice, he slew at the same time, and pulled down the altar, + +** I Maccabees 2:26 + +And shewed zeal for the law, as Phinees did by Zamri, the son of Salomi. + +** I Maccabees 2:27 + +And Mathathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: Every one that hath zeal for the law, and maintaineth the testament, let him follow me. + +** I Maccabees 2:28 + +So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city. + +** I Maccabees 2:29 + +Then many that sought after judgment, and justice, went down into the desert + +** I Maccabees 2:30 + +And they abode there, they and their children, and their wives, and their cattle: because afflictions increased upon them. + +** I Maccabees 2:31 + +And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them. + +** I Maccabees 2:32 + +And forthwith they went out towards them, and made war against them on the sabbath day. + +** I Maccabees 2:33 + +And they said to them: Do you still resist? come forth, and do according to the edict of king Antiochus, and you shall live. + +** I Maccabees 2:34 + +And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day. + +** I Maccabees 2:35 + +And they made haste to give them battle. + +** I Maccabees 2:36 + +But they answered them not, neither did they cast a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places, + +** I Maccabees 2:37 + +Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully. + +** I Maccabees 2:38 + +So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain, with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons. + +** I Maccabees 2:39 + +And Mathathias and his friends heard of it, and they mourned for them exceedingly. + +** I Maccabees 2:40 + +And every man said to his neighbour: If we shall all do as our brethren have done, and not fight against the heathens for our lives, and our justifications, they will now quickly root us out of the earth. + +** I Maccabees 2:41 + +And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places. + +** I Maccabees 2:42 + +Then was assembled to them the congregation of the Assideans, the stoutest of Israel, every one that had a good will for the law. + +** I Maccabees 2:43 + +And all they that fled from the evils, joined themselves to them, and were a support to them. + +** I Maccabees 2:44 + +And they gathered an army, and slew the sinners in their wrath, and the wicked men in their indignation: and the rest fled to the nations for safety. + +** I Maccabees 2:45 + +And Mathathias and his friends went round about, and they threw down the altars: + +** I Maccabees 2:46 + +And they circumcised all the children whom they found in the confines of Israel that were uncircumcised: and they did valiantly. + +** I Maccabees 2:47 + +And they pursued after the children of pride, and the work prospered in their hands: + +** I Maccabees 2:48 + +And they recovered the law out of the hands of the nations, and out of the hands of the kings: and they yielded not the horn to the sinner. + +** I Maccabees 2:49 + +Now the days drew near that Mathathias should die, and he said to his sons: Now hath pride and chastisement gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation: + +** I Maccabees 2:50 + +Now, therefore, O my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers. + +** I Maccabees 2:51 + +And call to remembrance the works of the fathers, which they have done in their generations: and you shall receive great glory, and an everlasting name. + +** I Maccabees 2:52 + +Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was reputed to him unto justice? + +** I Maccabees 2:53 + +Joseph, in the time of his distress, kept the commandment, and he was made lord of Egypt. + +** I Maccabees 2:54 + +Phinees, our father, by being fervent in the zeal of God, received the covenant of an everlasting priesthood. + +** I Maccabees 2:55 + +Jesus, whilst he fulfilled the word, was made ruler in Israel. + +** I Maccabees 2:56 + +Caleb, for bearing witness before the congregation, received an inheritance. + +** I Maccabees 2:57 + +David, by his mercy, obtained the throne of an everlasting kingdom. + +** I Maccabees 2:58 + +Elias, while he is full of zeal for the law, was taken up into heaven. + +** I Maccabees 2:59 + +Ananias and Azarias and Misael, by believing, were delivered out of the flame. + +** I Maccabees 2:60 + +Daniel, in his innocency, was delivered out of the mouth of the lions. + +** I Maccabees 2:61 + +And thus consider, through all generations: that none that trust in him, fail in strength. + +** I Maccabees 2:62 + +And fear not the words of a sinful man, for his glory is dung and worms: + +** I Maccabees 2:63 + +Today he is lifted up, and tomorrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his earth and his thought is come to nothing. + +** I Maccabees 2:64 + +You, therefore, my sons, take courage, and behave manfully in the law: for by it you shall be glorious. + +** I Maccabees 2:65 + +And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel: give ear to him always, and he shall be a father to you. + +** I Maccabees 2:66 + +And Judas Machabeus, who is valiant and strong from his youth up, let him be the leader of your army, and he shall manage the war of the people. + +** I Maccabees 2:67 + +And you shall take to you all that observe the law: and revenge ye the wrong of your people. + +** I Maccabees 2:68 + +Render to the Gentiles their reward, and take heed to the precepts of the law. + +** I Maccabees 2:69 + +And he blessed them, and was joined to his fathers. + +** I Maccabees 2:70 + +And he died in the hundred and forty-sixth year: and he was buried by his sons in the sepulchres of his fathers, in Modin, and all Israel mourned for him with great mourning. + +* I Maccabees 3 + +** I Maccabees 3:1 + +Then his son Judas, called Machabeus, rose up in his stead. + +** I Maccabees 3:2 + +And all his brethren helped him, and all they that had joined themselves to his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel. + +** I Maccabees 3:3 + +And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword. + +** I Maccabees 3:4 + +In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey. + +** I Maccabees 3:5 + +And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire: + +** I Maccabees 3:6 + +And his enemies were driven away for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled: and salvation prospered in his hand. + +** I Maccabees 3:7 + +And he grieved many kings, and made Jacob glad with his works, and his memory is blessed for ever. + +** I Maccabees 3:8 + +And he went through the cities of Juda, and destroyed the wicked out of them, and turned away wrath from Israel. + +** I Maccabees 3:9 + +And he was renowned even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered them that were perishing. + +** I Maccabees 3:10 + +And Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, and a numerous and great army from Samaria, to make war against Israel. + +** I Maccabees 3:11 + +And Judas understood it, and went forth to meet him: and he overthrew him, and killed him: and many fell down slain, and the rest fled away. + +** I Maccabees 3:12 + +And he took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius, and fought with it all his lifetime. + +** I Maccabees 3:13 + +And Seron, captain of the army of Syria, heard that Judas had assembled a company of the faithful, and a congregation with him, + +** I Maccabees 3:14 + +And he said I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king. + +** I Maccabees 3:15 + +And he made himself ready; and the host of the wicked went up with him, strong succours, to be revenged of the children of Israel. + +** I Maccabees 3:16 + +And they approached even as far as Bethoron: and Judas went forth to meet him, with a small company. + +** I Maccabees 3:17 + +But when they saw the army coming to meet them, they said to Judas: How shall we, being few, be able to fight against so great a multitude, and so strong, and we are ready to faint with fasting today? + +** I Maccabees 3:18 + +And Judas said: It is an easy matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few: and there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to deliver with a great multitude, or with a small company: + +** I Maccabees 3:19 + +For the success of war is not in the multitude of the army, but strength cometh from heaven. + +** I Maccabees 3:20 + +They come against us with an insolent multitude, and with pride, to destroy us, and our wives, and our children, and to take our spoils. + +** I Maccabees 3:21 + +But we will fight for our lives, and our laws: + +** I Maccabees 3:22 + +And the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face, but as for you, fear them not + +** I Maccabees 3:23 + +And as soon as he had made an end of speaking, he rushed suddenly upon them: and Seron, and his host were overthrown before him: + +** I Maccabees 3:24 + +And he pursued him by the descent of Bethoron, even to the plain, and there fell of them eight hundred men, and the rest fled into the land of the Philistines. + +** I Maccabees 3:25 + +And the fear of Judas, and of his brethren, and the dread of them, fell upon all the nations round about them. + +** I Maccabees 3:26 + +And his fame came to the king, and all nations told of the battles of Judas. + +** I Maccabees 3:27 + +Now when king Antiochus heard these words, he was angry in his mind: and he sent, and gathered the forces of all his kingdom, an exceeding strong army. + +** I Maccabees 3:28 + +And he opened his treasury, and gave out pay to the army for a year: and he commanded them, that they should be ready for all things. + +** I Maccabees 3:29 + +And he perceived that the money of his treasures failed, and that the tributes of the country were small, because of the dissension, and the evil that he had brought upon the land, that he might take away the laws of old times: + +** I Maccabees 3:30 + +And he feared that he should not have as formerly enough for charges and gifts, which he had given before with a liberal hand: for he had abounded more than the kings that had been before him. + +** I Maccabees 3:31 + +And he was greatly perplexed in mind, and purposed to go into Persia, and to take tributes of the countries, and to gather much money. + +** I Maccabees 3:32 + +And he left Lysias, a nobleman of the blood royal to oversee the affairs of the kingdom from the river Euphrates even to the river of Egypt: + +** I Maccabees 3:33 + +And to bring up his son, Antiochus, till he came again. + +** I Maccabees 3:34 + +And he delivered to him half the army, and the elephants: and he gave him charge concerning all that he would have done, and concerning the inhabitants of Judea, and Jerusalem. + +** I Maccabees 3:35 + +And that he should send an army against them to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away the memory of them from that place. + +** I Maccabees 3:36 + +And that he should settle strangers, to dwell in all their coasts, and divide their land by lot. + +** I Maccabees 3:37 + +So the king took the half of the army that remained, and went forth from Antioch, the chief city of his kingdom, in the hundred and forty-seventh year: and he passed over the river Euphrates, and went through the higher countries. + +** I Maccabees 3:38 + +Then Lysias chose Ptolemee, the son of Dorymenus, and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends. + +** I Maccabees 3:39 + +And he sent with them forty thousand men, and seven thousand horsemen: to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, according to the king's orders. + +** I Maccabees 3:40 + +So they went forth with all their power, and came, and pitched near Emmaus, in the plain country. + +** I Maccabees 3:41 + +And the merchants of the countries heard the fame of them: and they took silver and gold in abundance, and servants: and they came into the camp, to buy the children of Israel for slaves: and there were joined to them the forces of Syria, and of the land of the strangers. + +** I Maccabees 3:42 + +And Judas, and his brethren, saw that evils were multiplied, and that the armies approached to their borders: and they knew the orders the king had given to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them. + +** I Maccabees 3:43 + +And they said, every man to his neighbour: Let us raise up the low condition of our people, and let us fight for our people, and our sanctuary. + +** I Maccabees 3:44 + +And the assembly was gathered, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion. + +** I Maccabees 3:45 + +Now Jerusalem was not inhabited, but was like a desert: there was none of her children that went in or out: and the sanctuary was trodden down: and the children of strangers were in the castle, there was the habitation of the Gentiles: and joy was taken away from Jacob, and the pipe and harp ceased there. + +** I Maccabees 3:46 + +And they assembled together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem: for in Maspha was a place of prayer heretofore in Israel. + +** I Maccabees 3:47 + +And they fasted that day, and put on haircloth, and put ashes upon their heads: and they rent their garments: + +** I Maccabees 3:48 + +And they laid open the books of the law, in which the Gentiles searched for the likeness of their idols: + +** I Maccabees 3:49 + +And they brought the priestly ornaments, and the first fruits and tithes, and stirred up the Nazarites that had fulfilled their days: + +** I Maccabees 3:50 + +And they cried with a loud voice toward heaven, saying: What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them? + +** I Maccabees 3:51 + +For thy holies are trodden down, and are profaned, and thy priests are in mourning, and are brought low. + +** I Maccabees 3:52 + +And behold the nations are come together against us, to destroy us: thou knowest what they intend against us. + +** I Maccabees 3:53 + +How shall we be able to stand before their face, unless thou, O God, help us? + +** I Maccabees 3:54 + +Then they sounded with trumpets, and cried out with a loud voice. + +** I Maccabees 3:55 + +And after this, Judas appointed captains over the people, over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens. + +** I Maccabees 3:56 + +And he said to them that were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, that they should return every man to his house, according to the law. + +** I Maccabees 3:57 + +So they removed the camp, and pitched on the south side of Emmaus. + +** I Maccabees 3:58 + +And Judas said: Gird yourselves, and be valiant men, and be ready against the morning, that you may fight with these nations that are assembled against us to destroy us and our sanctuary. + +** I Maccabees 3:59 + +For it is better for us to die in battle, than to see the evils of our nation, and of the holies: + +** I Maccabees 3:60 + +Nevertheless, as it shall be the will of God in heaven, so be it done. + +* I Maccabees 4 + +** I Maccabees 4:1 + +Then Gorgias took five thousand men, and a thousand of the best horsemen; and they removed out of the camp by night. + +** I Maccabees 4:2 + +That they might come upon the camp of the Jews and strike them suddenly: and the men that were of the castle were their guides. + +** I Maccabees 4:3 + +And Judas heard of it, and rose up, he and the valiant men, to attack the king's forces that were in Emmaus. + +** I Maccabees 4:4 + +For as yet the army was dispersed from the camp + +** I Maccabees 4:5 + +And Gorgias came by night into the camp of Judas, and found no man; and he sought them in the mountains: for he said: These men flee from us. + +** I Maccabees 4:6 + +And when it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men only, who neither had armour nor swords: + +** I Maccabees 4:7 + +And they saw the camp of the Gentiles that it was strong, and the men in breastplates, and the horsemen round about them, and these were trained up to war. + +** I Maccabees 4:8 + +And Judas said to the men that were with him: Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault. + +** I Maccabees 4:9 + +Remember in what manner our fathers were saved in the Red Sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with a great army. + +** I Maccabees 4:10 + +And now let us cry to heaven, and the Lord will have mercy on us, and will remember the covenant of our fathers, and will destroy this army before our face this day: + +** I Maccabees 4:11 + +And all nations shall know that there is one that redeemeth and delivereth Israel. + +** I Maccabees 4:12 + +And the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming against them. + +** I Maccabees 4:13 + +And they went out of the camp to battle, and they that were with Judas sounded the trumpet. + +** I Maccabees 4:14 + +And they joined battle: and the Gentiles were routed, and fled into the plain. + +** I Maccabees 4:15 + +But all the hindmost of them fell by the sword and they pursued them as far as Gezeron, and even to the plains of Idumea, and of Azotus, and of Jamnia: and there fell of them to the number of three thousand men. + +** I Maccabees 4:16 + +And Judas returned again with his army that followed him. + +** I Maccabees 4:17 + +And he said to the people: Be not greedy of the spoils; for there is war before us: + +** I Maccabees 4:18 + +And Gorgias and his army are near us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overthrow them, and you shall take the spoils afterwards with safety. + +** I Maccabees 4:19 + +And as Judas was speaking these words, behold part of them appeared, looking forth from the mountain. + +** I Maccabees 4:20 + +And Gorgias saw that his men were put to flight, and that they had set fire to the camp: for the smoke that was seen declared what was done. + +** I Maccabees 4:21 + +And when they had seen this, they were seized with great fear, seeing at the same time Judas and his army in the plain ready to fight. + +** I Maccabees 4:22 + +So they all fled away into the land of the strangers. + +** I Maccabees 4:23 + +And Judas returned to take the spoils of the camp, and they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches. + +** I Maccabees 4:24 + +And returning home, they sung a hymn, and blessed God in heaven, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. + +** I Maccabees 4:25 + +So Israel had a great deliverance that day. + +** I Maccabees 4:26 + +And such of the strangers as escaped, went and told Lysias all that had happened. + +** I Maccabees 4:27 + +And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as the king had commanded. + +** I Maccabees 4:28 + +So the year following, Lysias gathered together threescore thousand chosen men, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them. + +** I Maccabees 4:29 + +And they came into Judea, and pitched their tents in Bethoron, and Judas met them with ten thousand men. + +** I Maccabees 4:30 + +And they saw that the army was strong, and he prayed and said: Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst break the violence of the mighty by the hand of thy servant David, and didst deliver up the camp of the strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and of his armour bearer. + +** I Maccabees 4:31 + +Shut up this army in the hands of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their host and their horsemen. + +** I Maccabees 4:32 + +Strike them with fear, and cause the boldness of their strength to languish, and let them quake at their own destruction. + +** I Maccabees 4:33 + +Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee: and let all that know thy name praise thee with hymns. + +** I Maccabees 4:34 + +And they joined battle: and there fell of the army of Lysias five thousand men. + +** I Maccabees 4:35 + +And when Lysias saw that his men were put to flight, and how bold the Jews were, and that they were ready either to live, or to die manfully, he went to Antioch, and chose soldiers, that they might come again into Judea with greater numbers. + +** I Maccabees 4:36 + +Then Judas, and his brethren said: Behold our enemies are discomfited: let us go up now to cleanse the holy places, and to repair them. + +** I Maccabees 4:37 + +And all the army assembled together, and they went up into Mount Sion. + +** I Maccabees 4:38 + +And they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burnt, and shrubs growing up in the courts as in a forest, or on the mountains, and the chambers joining to the temple thrown down. + +** I Maccabees 4:39 + +And they rent their garments, and made great lamentation, and put ashes on their heads: + +** I Maccabees 4:40 + +And they fell down to the ground on their faces, and they sounded with the trumpets of alarm, and they cried towards heaven. + +** I Maccabees 4:41 + +Then Judas appointed men to fight against them that were in the castle, till they had cleansed the holy places, + +** I Maccabees 4:42 + +And he chose priests without blemish, whose will was set upon the law of God. + +** I Maccabees 4:43 + +And they cleansed the holy places, and took away the stones that had been defiled into an unclean place. + +** I Maccabees 4:44 + +And he considered about the altar of holocausts that had been profaned, what he should do with it. + +** I Maccabees 4:45 + +And a good counsel came into their minds, to pull it down: lest it should be a reproach to them, because the Gentiles had defiled it; so they threw it down. + +** I Maccabees 4:46 + +And they laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple, in a convenient place, till there should come a prophet, and give answer concerning them. + +** I Maccabees 4:47 + +Then they took whole stones, according to the law and built a new altar, according to the former: + +** I Maccabees 4:48 + +And they built up the holy places, and the things that were within the temple: and they sanctified the temple and the courts. + +** I Maccabees 4:49 + +And they made new holy vessels, and brought in the candlestick, and the altar of incense, and the table, into the temple. + +** I Maccabees 4:50 + +And they put incense upon the altar, and lighted up the lamps that were upon the candlestick, and they gave light in the temple. + +** I Maccabees 4:51 + +And they set the loaves upon the table, and hung up the veils, and finished all the works that they had begun to make. + +** I Maccabees 4:52 + +And they arose before the morning on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, (which is the month of Casleu) in the hundred and forty-eighth year. + +** I Maccabees 4:53 + +And they offered sacrifice, according to the law, upon the new altar of holocausts which they had made. + +** I Maccabees 4:54 + +According to the time, and according to the day wherein the heathens had defiled it, in the same was it dedicated anew with canticles, and harps, and lutes, and cymbals. + +** I Maccabees 4:55 + +And all the people fell upon their faces, and adored, and blessed up to heaven, him that had prospered them. + +** I Maccabees 4:56 + +And they kept the dedication of the altar eight days, and they offered holocausts with joy, and sacrifices of salvation, and of praise. + +** I Maccabees 4:57 + +And they adorned the front of the temple with crowns of gold, and escutcheons, and they renewed the gates, and the chambers, and hanged doors upon them. + +** I Maccabees 4:58 + +And there was exceeding great joy among the people, and the reproach of the Gentiles was turned away. + +** I Maccabees 4:59 + +And Judas, and his brethren, and all the church of Israel decreed, that the day of the dedication of the altar should be kept in its season from year to year for eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, with joy and gladness. + +** I Maccabees 4:60 + +They built up also at that time Mount Sion, with high walls, and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should at any time come, and tread it down, as they did before. + +** I Maccabees 4:61 + +And he placed a garrison there, to keep it, and he fortified it, to secure Bethsura, that the people might have a defence against Idumea. + +* I Maccabees 5 + +** I Maccabees 5:1 + +Now it came to pass, when the nations round about heard that the altar and the sanctuary were built up, as before, that they were exceeding angry. + +** I Maccabees 5:2 + +And they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that were among them, and they began to kill some of the people, and to persecute them. + +** I Maccabees 5:3 + +Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites round about, and he made a great slaughter of them. + +** I Maccabees 5:4 + +And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way. + +** I Maccabees 5:5 + +And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them. + +** I Maccabees 5:6 + +Then he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, and Timotheus was their captain: + +** I Maccabees 5:7 + +And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them: + +** I Maccabees 5:8 + +And he took the city of Gazer and her towns, and returned into Judea. + +** I Maccabees 5:9 + +And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman. + +** I Maccabees 5:10 + +And they sent letters to Judas, and his brethren, saying: The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us to destroy us: + +** I Maccabees 5:11 + +And they are preparing to come, and to take the fortress into which we are fled: and Timotheus is the captain of their host. + +** I Maccabees 5:12 + +Now therefore come, and deliver us out of their hands, for many of us are slain. + +** I Maccabees 5:13 + +And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men. + +** I Maccabees 5:14 + +And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came other messengers out of Galilee with their garments rent, who related according to these words: + +** I Maccabees 5:15 + +Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us. + +** I Maccabees 5:16 + +Now when Judas and the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them. + +** I Maccabees 5:17 + +And Judas said to Simon, his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan, will go into the country of Galaad: + +** I Maccabees 5:18 + +And he left Joseph, the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the army in Judea, to keep it: + +** I Maccabees 5:19 + +And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people; but make no war against the heathens, till we return. + +** I Maccabees 5:20 + +Now three thousand men were allotted to Simon, to go into Galilee: and eight thousand to Judas, to go into the land of Galaad. + +** I Maccabees 5:21 + +And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais. + +** I Maccabees 5:22 + +And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he took the spoils of them. + +** I Maccabees 5:23 + +And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis, with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy. + +** I Maccabees 5:24 + +And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan, his brother, passed over the Jordan, and went three days' journey through the desert. + +** I Maccabees 5:25 + +And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad, + +** I Maccabees 5:26 + +And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim; all these strong and great cities. + +** I Maccabees 5:27 + +Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day. + +** I Maccabees 5:28 + +Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire. + +** I Maccabees 5:29 + +And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to the fortress. + +** I Maccabees 5:30 + +And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them. + +** I Maccabees 5:31 + +And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city: + +** I Maccabees 5:32 + +And he said to his host: Fight ye today for your brethren. + +** I Maccabees 5:33 + +And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer. + +** I Maccabees 5:34 + +And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face and they made a great slaughter of them, and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men. + +** I Maccabees 5:35 + +And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire. + +** I Maccabees 5:36 + +From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad. + +** I Maccabees 5:37 + +But after this Timotheus gathered another army, and camped over against Raphon, beyond the torrent. + +** I Maccabees 5:38 + +And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great: + +** I Maccabees 5:39 + +And they have hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the torrent, ready to come to fight against thee. And Judas went to meet them. + +** I Maccabees 5:40 + +And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us. + +** I Maccabees 5:41 + +But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them, and shall prevail against him. + +** I Maccabees 5:42 + +Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle. + +** I Maccabees 5:43 + +And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim. + +** I Maccabees 5:44 + +And he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas. + +** I Maccabees 5:45 + +And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda. + +** I Maccabees 5:46 + +And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city, situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it. + +** I Maccabees 5:47 + +And they that were in the city shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words, + +** I Maccabees 5:48 + +Saying: Let us pass through your land, to go into our own country, and no man shall hurt you; we will only pass through on foot. But they would not open to them. + +** I Maccabees 5:49 + +Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault, every man in the place where he was. + +** I Maccabees 5:50 + +And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night; and the city was delivered into his hands: + +** I Maccabees 5:51 + +And they slew every male with the edge of the sword, and he razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through all the city over them that were slain. + +** I Maccabees 5:52 + +Then they passed over the Jordan to the great plain that is over against Bethsan. + +** I Maccabees 5:53 + +And Judas gathered together the hindmost, and he exhorted the people, all the way through, till they came into the land of Juda. + +** I Maccabees 5:54 + +And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain, till they had returned in peace. + +** I Maccabees 5:55 + +Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee, before Ptolemais, + +** I Maccabees 5:56 + +Joseph, the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captain of the soldiers, heard of the good success, and the battles that were fought, + +** I Maccabees 5:57 + +And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us. + +** I Maccabees 5:58 + +And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia. + +** I Maccabees 5:59 + +And Gorgias and his men went out of the city, to give them battle. + +** I Maccabees 5:60 + +And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell on that day, of the people of Israel, about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people: + +** I Maccabees 5:61 + +Because they did not hearken to Judas and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully. + +** I Maccabees 5:62 + +But they were not of the seed of those men by whom salvation was brought to Israel. + +** I Maccabees 5:63 + +And the men of Juda were magnified exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and of all the nations where their name was heard. + +** I Maccabees 5:64 + +And the people assembled to them with joyful acclamations. + +** I Maccabees 5:65 + +Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land towards the south, and he took Chebron and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof, and the towers all round it. + +** I Maccabees 5:66 + +And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he went through Samaria. + +** I Maccabees 5:67 + +In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight. + +** I Maccabees 5:68 + +And Judas turned to Azotus, into the land of the strangers, and he threw down their altars, and he burnt the statues of their gods with fire: and he took the spoils of the cities, and returned into the land of Juda. + +* I Maccabees 6 + +** I Maccabees 6:1 + +Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he heard that the city of Elymais in Persia, was greatly renowned, and abounding in silver and gold, + +** I Maccabees 6:2 + +And that there was in it a temple exceeding rich; and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which king Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian, that reigned first in Greece, had left there. + +** I Maccabees 6:3 + +So he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it; but he was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the city. + +** I Maccabees 6:4 + +And they rose up against him in battle, and he fled away from thence, and departed with great sadness, and returned towards Babylonia. + +** I Maccabees 6:5 + +And whilst he was in Persia there came one that told him how the armies that were in the land of Juda were put to flight: + +** I Maccabees 6:6 + +And that Lysias went with a very great power, and was put to flight before the face of the Jews, and that they were grown strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils which they had gotten out of the camps which they had destroyed: + +** I Maccabees 6:7 + +And that they had thrown down the abomination which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also, his city. + +** I Maccabees 6:8 + +And it came to pass, when the king heard these words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined. + +** I Maccabees 6:9 + +And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die. + +** I Maccabees 6:10 + +And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety: + +** I Maccabees 6:11 + +And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power! + +** I Maccabees 6:12 + +But now I remember the evils that I did in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver, that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause. + +** I Maccabees 6:13 + +I know, therefore, that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land. + +** I Maccabees 6:14 + +Then he called Philip, one of his friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom. + +** I Maccabees 6:15 + +And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus, his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom. + +** I Maccabees 6:16 + +So king Antiochus died there in the year one hundred and forty-nine. + +** I Maccabees 6:17 + +And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus, his son, to reign, whom he had brought up young: and he called his name Eupator. + +** I Maccabees 6:18 + +Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles. + +** I Maccabees 6:19 + +And Judas purposed to destroy them: and he called together all the people, to besiege them. + +** I Maccabees 6:20 + +And they came together, and besieged them in the year one hundred and fifty, and they made battering slings and engines. + +** I Maccabees 6:21 + +And some of the besieged got out: and some wicked men of Israel joined themselves unto them. + +** I Maccabees 6:22 + +And they went to the king, and said: How long dost thou delay to execute judgment, and to revenge our brethren? + +** I Maccabees 6:23 + +We determined to serve thy father, and to do according to his orders, and obey his edicts: + +** I Maccabees 6:24 + +And for this they of our nation are alienated from us, and have slain as many of us as they could find, and have spoiled our inheritances. + +** I Maccabees 6:25 + +Neither have they put forth their hand against us only, but also against all our borders. + +** I Maccabees 6:26 + +And behold they have approached this day to the castle of Jerusalem to take it, and they have fortified the strong hold of Bethsura: + +** I Maccabees 6:27 + +And unless thou speedily prevent them, they will do greater things than these, and thou shalt not be able to subdue them. + +** I Maccabees 6:28 + +Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen. + +** I Maccabees 6:29 + +There came also to him from other realms, and from the islands of the sea, hired troops. + +** I Maccabees 6:30 + +And the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and thirty-two elephants trained to battle. + +** I Maccabees 6:31 + +And they went through Idumea, and approached to Bethsura, and fought many days, and they made engines: but they sallied forth, and burnt them with fire, and fought manfully. + +** I Maccabees 6:32 + +And Judas departed from the castle, and removed the camp to Bethzacharam, over against the king's camp. + +** I Maccabees 6:33 + +And the king rose before it was light, and made his troops march on fiercely towards the way of Bethzacharam: and the armies made themselves ready for the battle, and they sounded the trumpets: + +** I Maccabees 6:34 + +And they shewed the elephants the blood of grapes, and mulberries, to provoke them to fight. + +** I Maccabees 6:35 + +And they distributed the beasts by the legions: and there stood by every elephant a thousand men in coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads: and five hundred horsemen set in order were chosen for every beast. + +** I Maccabees 6:36 + +These before the time wheresoever the beast was they were there: and whithersoever it went, they went, and they departed not from it. + +** I Maccabees 6:37 + +And upon the beast, there were strong wooden towers which covered every one of them: and engines upon them, and upon every one thirty-two valiant men, who fought from above: and an Indian to rule the beast. + +** I Maccabees 6:38 + +And the rest of the horsemen he placed on this side and on that side, at the two wings, with trumpets to stir up the army, and to hasten them forward that stood thick together in the legions thereof. + +** I Maccabees 6:39 + +Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold, and of brass, the mountains glittered therewith, and they shone like lamps of fire. + +** I Maccabees 6:40 + +And part of the king's army was distinguished by the high mountains, and the other part by the low places: and they marched on warily and orderly. + +** I Maccabees 6:41 + +And all the inhabitants of the land were moved at the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the armour, for the army was exceeding great and strong. + +** I Maccabees 6:42 + +And Judas and his army drew near for battle: and there fell of the king's army six hundred men. + +** I Maccabees 6:43 + +And Eleazar, the son of Saura, saw one of the beasts harnessed with the king's harness: and it was higher than the other beasts; and it seemed to him that the king was on it: + +** I Maccabees 6:44 + +And he exposed himself to deliver his people, and to get himself an everlasting name. + +** I Maccabees 6:45 + +And he ran up to it boldly in the midst of the legion, killing on the right hand, and on the left, and they fell by him on this side and that side. + +** I Maccabees 6:46 + +And he went between the feet of the elephant, and put himself under it: and slew it, and it fell to the ground upon him, and he died there. + +** I Maccabees 6:47 + +Then they seeing the strength of the king and the fierceness of his army, turned away from them. + +** I Maccabees 6:48 + +But the king's army went up against them to Jerusalem: and the king's army pitched their tents against Judea and Mount Sion. + +** I Maccabees 6:49 + +And he made peace with them that were in Bethsura: and they came forth out of the city, because they had no victuals, being shut up there, for it was the year of rest to the land. + +** I Maccabees 6:50 + +And the king took Bethsura: and he placed there a garrison to keep it. + +** I Maccabees 6:51 + +And he turned his army against the sanctuary for many days: and he set up there battering slings, and engines, and instruments to cast fire, and engines to cast stones and javelins, and pieces to shoot arrows, and slings. + +** I Maccabees 6:52 + +And they also made engines against their engines, and they fought for many days. + +** I Maccabees 6:53 + +But there were no victuals in the city, because it was the seventh year: and such as had stayed in Judea of them that came from among the nations, had eaten the residue of all that which had been stored up. + +** I Maccabees 6:54 + +And there remained in the holy places but a few, for the famine had prevailed over them: and they were dispersed every man to his own place. + +** I Maccabees 6:55 + +Now Lysias heard that Philip; whom king Antiochus while he lived had appointed to bring up his son, Antiochus, and to reign, + +** I Maccabees 6:56 + +Was returned from Persia, and Media, with the army that went with him and that he sought to take upon him the affairs of the kingdom: + +** I Maccabees 6:57 + +Wherefore he made haste to go, and say to the king and to the captains of the army: We decay daily, and our provision of victuals is small, and the place that we lay siege to is strong, and it lieth upon us to take order for the affairs of the kingdom. + +** I Maccabees 6:58 + +Now, therefore, let us come to an agreement with these men, and make peace with them and with all their nation. + +** I Maccabees 6:59 + +And let us covenant with them, that they may live according to their own laws, as before. For because of our despising their laws, they have been provoked, and have done all these things. + +** I Maccabees 6:60 + +And the proposal was acceptable in the sight of the king, and of the princes: and he sent to them to make peace: and they accepted of it. + +** I Maccabees 6:61 + +And the king and the princes swore to them: and they came out of the strong hold. + +** I Maccabees 6:62 + +Then the king entered into Mount Sion, and saw the strength of the place: and he quickly broke the oath that he had taken, and gave commandment to throw down the wall round about. + +** I Maccabees 6:63 + +And he departed in haste and returned to Antioch, where he found Philip master of the city: and he fought against him, and took the city. + +* I Maccabees 7 + +** I Maccabees 7:1 + +In the hundred and fifty-first year, Demetrius, the son of Seleucus, departed from the city of Rome, and came up with few men into a city of the sea coast, and reigned there. + +** I Maccabees 7:2 + +And it came to pass as he entered into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, that the army seized upon Antiochus, and Lysias, to bring them unto him. + +** I Maccabees 7:3 + +And when he knew it, he said: Let me not see their face. + +** I Maccabees 7:4 + +So the army slew them. And Demetrius sat upon the throne of his kingdom: + +** I Maccabees 7:5 + +And there came to him the wicked and ungodly men of Israel: and Alcimus was at the head of them, who desired to be made high priest. + +** I Maccabees 7:6 + +And they accused the people to the king, saying: Judas and his brethren have destroyed all thy friends, and he hath driven us out of our land. + +** I Maccabees 7:7 + +Now, therefore, send some men whom thou trustest, and let him go, and see all the havoc he hath made amongst us, and in the king's lands: and let him punish all his friends and their helpers. + +** I Maccabees 7:8 + +Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends, that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him, + +** I Maccabees 7:9 + +To see the havoc that Judas had made: and the wicked Alcimus he made high priest, and commanded him to take revenge upon the children of Israel. + +** I Maccabees 7:10 + +And they arose, and came with a great army into the land of Juda: and they sent messengers, and spoke to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words, deceitfully. + +** I Maccabees 7:11 + +But they gave no heed to their words: for they saw that they were come with a great army. + +** I Maccabees 7:12 + +Then there assembled to Alcimus and Bacchides a company of the scribes, to require things that are just: + +** I Maccabees 7:13 + +And first the Assideans, that were among the children of Israel, and they sought peace of them. + +** I Maccabees 7:14 + +For they said: One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come, he will not deceive us. + +** I Maccabees 7:15 + +And he spoke to them peaceably: and he swore to them, saying: We will do you no harm, nor your friends. + +** I Maccabees 7:16 + +And they believed him. And he took threescore of them, and slew them in one day, according to the word that is written: + +** I Maccabees 7:17 + +The flesh of thy saints, and the blood of them they have shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them. + +** I Maccabees 7:18 + +Then fear and trembling fell upon all the people: for they said: There is no truth, nor justice among them: for they have broken the covenant, and the oath which they made. + +** I Maccabees 7:19 + +And Bacchides removed the camp from Jerusalem, and pitched in Bethzecha: and he sent, and took many of them that were fled away from him, and some of the people he killed, and threw them into a great pit. + +** I Maccabees 7:20 + +Then he committed the country to Alcimus, and left with him troops to help him. So Bacchides went away to the king. + +** I Maccabees 7:21 + +But Alcimus did what he could to maintain his chief priesthood. + +** I Maccabees 7:22 + +And they that disturbed the people resorted to him, and they got the land of Juda into their power, and did much hurt in Israel. + +** I Maccabees 7:23 + +And Judas saw all the evils that Alcimus, and they that were with him, did to the children of Israel, much more than the Gentiles. + +** I Maccabees 7:24 + +And he went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and took vengeance upon the men that had revolted, and they ceased to go forth any more into the country. + +** I Maccabees 7:25 + +And Alcimus saw that Judas and they that were with him, prevailed: and he knew that he could not stand against them, and he went back to the king, and accused them of many crimes. + +** I Maccabees 7:26 + +And the king sent Nicanor, one of his principal lords, who was a great enemy to Israel: and he commanded him to destroy the people. + +** I Maccabees 7:27 + +And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and to his brethren deceitfully, with friendly words, + +** I Maccabees 7:28 + +Saying: Let there be no fighting between me and you: I will come with a few men, to see your faces with peace. + +** I Maccabees 7:29 + +And he came to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably: and the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by force. + +** I Maccabees 7:30 + +And the thing was known to Judas that he was come to him with deceit: and he was much afraid of him, and would not see his face any more. + +** I Maccabees 7:31 + +And Nicanor knew that his counsel was discovered: and he went out to fight against Judas, near Capharsalama. + +** I Maccabees 7:32 + +And there fell of Nicanor's army almost five thousand men, and they fled into the city of David. + +** I Maccabees 7:33 + +And after this Nicanor went up into mount Sion: and some of the priests and the people came out to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the holocausts that were offered for the king. + +** I Maccabees 7:34 + +But he mocked and despised them, and abused them: and he spoke proudly, + +** I Maccabees 7:35 + +And swore in anger, saying: Unless Judas and his army be delivered into my hands, as soon as ever I return in peace, I will burn this house. And he went out in a great rage. + +** I Maccabees 7:36 + +And the priests went in, and stood before the face of the altar and the temple: and weeping, they said: + +** I Maccabees 7:37 + +Thou, O Lord, hast chosen this house for thy name to be called upon therein, that it might be a house of prayer and supplication for thy people. + +** I Maccabees 7:38 + +Be avenged of this man, and his army, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer. + +** I Maccabees 7:39 + +Then Nicanor went out from Jerusalem, and encamped near to Bethoron: and an army of Syria joined him. + +** I Maccabees 7:40 + +But Judas pitched in Adarsa with three thousand men: and Judas prayed, and said: + +** I Maccabees 7:41 + +O Lord, when they that were sent by king Sennacherib blasphemed thee, an angel went out, and slew of them a hundred and eighty-five thousand: + +** I Maccabees 7:42 + +Even so destroy this army in our sight today and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness. + +** I Maccabees 7:43 + +And the armies joined battle on the thirteenth day of the month, Adar: and the army of Nicanor was defeated, and he himself was first slain in the battle. + +** I Maccabees 7:44 + +And when his army saw that Nicanor was slain they threw away their weapons, and fled: + +** I Maccabees 7:45 + +And they pursued after them one day's journey from Adazer, even till ye come to Gazara, and they sounded the trumpets after them with signals. + +** I Maccabees 7:46 + +And they went forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and they pushed them with the horns, and they turned again to them, and they were all slain with the sword, and there was not left of them so much as one. + +** I Maccabees 7:47 + +And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over against Jerusalem. + +** I Maccabees 7:48 + +And the people rejoiced exceedingly, and they spent that day with great joy. + +** I Maccabees 7:49 + +And he ordained that this day should be kept every year, being the thirteenth of the month of Adar + +** I Maccabees 7:50 + +And the land of Juda was quiet for a short time. + +* I Maccabees 8 + +** I Maccabees 8:1 + +Now Judas heard of the fame of the Romans, that they are powerful and strong, and willingly agree to all things that are requested of them: and that whosoever have come to them, they have made amity with them, and that they are mighty in power. + +** I Maccabees 8:2 + +And they heard of their battles, and their noble acts which they had done in Galatia, how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute: + +** I Maccabees 8:3 + +And how great things they had done in the land of Spain, and that they had brought under their power the mines of silver and of gold that are there, and had gotten possession of all the place by their counsel and patience: + +** I Maccabees 8:4 + +And had conquered places that were very far off from them, and kings that came against them from the ends of the earth, and had overthrown them with great slaughter: and the rest pay them tribute every year. + +** I Maccabees 8:5 + +And that they had defeated in battle Philip and Perses the king of the Ceteans, and the rest that had borne arms against them, and had conquered them: + +** I Maccabees 8:6 + +And how Antiochus, the great king of Asia, who went to fight against them, having a hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was routed by them. + +** I Maccabees 8:7 + +And how they took him alive, and appointed to him, that both he and they that should reign after him, should pay a great tribute, and that he should give hostages, and that which was agreed upon, + +** I Maccabees 8:8 + +And the country of the Indians, and of the Medes, and of the Lydians, some of their best provinces: and those which they had taken from them, they gave to king Eumenes. + +** I Maccabees 8:9 + +And that they who were in Greece, had a mind to go and to destroy them: and they had knowledge thereof, + +** I Maccabees 8:10 + +And they sent a general against them, and fought with them, and many of them were slain, and they carried away their wives, and their children captives, and spoiled them, and took possession of their land, and threw down their walls, and brought them to be their servants unto this day. + +** I Maccabees 8:11 + +And the other kingdoms, and islands, that at any time had resisted them, they had destroyed and brought under their power. + +** I Maccabees 8:12 + +But with their friends, and such as relied upon them, they kept amity, and had conquered kingdoms that were near, and that were far off: for all that heard their name, were afraid of them. + +** I Maccabees 8:13 + +That whom they had a mind to help to a kingdom, those reigned: and whom they would, they deposed from the kingdom: and they were greatly exalted. + +** I Maccabees 8:14 + +And none of all these wore a crown, or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby. + +** I Maccabees 8:15 + +And that they had made themselves a senate house, and consulted daily three hundred and twenty men, that sat in counsel always for the people, that they might do the things that were right: + +** I Maccabees 8:16 + +And that they committed their government to one man every year, to rule over all their country, and they all obey one, and there is no envy nor jealousy amongst them. + +** I Maccabees 8:17 + +So Judas chose Eupolemus, the son of John, the son of Jacob, and Jason, the son of Eleazar, and he sent them to Rome to make a league of amity and confederacy with them: + +** I Maccabees 8:18 + +And that they might take off from them the yoke of the Grecians, for they saw that they oppressed the kingdom of Israel with servitude. + +** I Maccabees 8:19 + +And they went to Rome, a very long journey, and they entered into the senate house, and said: + +** I Maccabees 8:20 + +Judas Machabeus, and his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us to you to make alliance and peace with you, and that we may be registered your confederates and friends. + +** I Maccabees 8:21 + +And the proposal was pleasing in their sight. + +** I Maccabees 8:22 + +And this is the copy of the writing that they wrote back again, graven in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that it might be with them there for a memorial of the peace, and alliance. + +** I Maccabees 8:23 + +GOOD SUCCESS BE TO THE ROMANS, and to the people of the Jews by sea, and by land, for ever: and far be the sword and enemy from them. + +** I Maccabees 8:24 + +But if there come first any war upon the Romans, or any of their confederates, in all their dominions: + +** I Maccabees 8:25 + +The nation of the Jews shall help them according as the time shall direct, with all their heart: + +** I Maccabees 8:26 + +Neither shall they give them, whilst they are fighting, or furnish them with wheat, or arms, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans: and they shall obey their orders, without taking any thing of them. + +** I Maccabees 8:27 + +In like manner also if war shall come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall permit them: + +** I Maccabees 8:28 + +And there shall not be given to them that come to their aid, either wheat, or arms, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans: and they shall observe their orders without deceit. + +** I Maccabees 8:29 + +According to these articles did the Romans covenant with the people of the Jews. + +** I Maccabees 8:30 + +And, if after this, one party or the other shall have a mind to add to these articles, or take away any thing, they may do it at their pleasure: and whatsoever they shall add, or take away, shall be ratified. + +** I Maccabees 8:31 + +Moreover, concerning the evils that Demetrius, the king, hath done against them, we have written to him, saying: Why hast thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and allies, the Jews. + +** I Maccabees 8:32 + +If, therefore, they come again to us complaining of thee, we will do them justice, and will make war against thee by sea and land. + +* I Maccabees 9 + +** I Maccabees 9:1 + +In the mean time, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them. + +** I Maccabees 9:2 + +And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people. + +** I Maccabees 9:3 + +In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem: + +** I Maccabees 9:4 + +And they arose and went to Berea, with twenty thousand men, and two thousand horsemen. + +** I Maccabees 9:5 + +Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him: + +** I Maccabees 9:6 + +And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men. + +** I Maccabees 9:7 + +And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged. + +** I Maccabees 9:8 + +Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them. + +** I Maccabees 9:9 + +But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few. + +** I Maccabees 9:10 + +Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory. + +** I Maccabees 9:11 + +And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers, went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour. + +** I Maccabees 9:12 + +And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets: + +** I Maccabees 9:13 + +And they also that were on Judas's side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening. + +** I Maccabees 9:14 + +And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him: + +** I Maccabees 9:15 + +And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus. + +** I Maccabees 9:16 + +And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back: + +** I Maccabees 9:17 + +And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other. + +** I Maccabees 9:18 + +And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away. + +** I Maccabees 9:19 + +And Jonathan and Simon took Judas, their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers, in the city of Modin. + +** I Maccabees 9:20 + +And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days. + +** I Maccabees 9:21 + +And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel! + +** I Maccabees 9:22 + +But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many. + +** I Maccabees 9:23 + +And it came to pass, after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up. + +** I Maccabees 9:24 + +In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides. + +** I Maccabees 9:25 + +And Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country: + +** I Maccabees 9:26 + +And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them. + +** I Maccabees 9:27 + +And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel. + +** I Maccabees 9:28 + +And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan: + +** I Maccabees 9:29 + +Since thy brother Judas died there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation. + +** I Maccabees 9:30 + +Now, therefore, we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain, in his stead, to fight our battles. + +** I Maccabees 9:31 + +So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas, his brother + +** I Maccabees 9:32 + +And Bacchides had knowledge of it, and sought to kill him. + +** I Maccabees 9:33 + +And Jonathan, and Simon, his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake Asphar, + +** I Maccabees 9:34 + +And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself, with all his army, over the Jordan, on the sabbath day. + +** I Maccabees 9:35 + +And Jonathan sent his brother, a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious. + +** I Maccabees 9:36 + +And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them. + +** I Maccabees 9:37 + +After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon, his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp. + +** I Maccabees 9:38 + +And they remembered the blood of John, their brother: and they went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain. + +** I Maccabees 9:39 + +And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments and many weapons. + +** I Maccabees 9:40 + +And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils: + +** I Maccabees 9:41 + +And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation. + +** I Maccabees 9:42 + +And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan. + +** I Maccabees 9:43 + +And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan, with a great power. + +** I Maccabees 9:44 + +And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before. + +** I Maccabees 9:45 + +For behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside. + +** I Maccabees 9:46 + +Now, therefore, cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle. + +** I Maccabees 9:47 + +And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards. + +** I Maccabees 9:48 + +And Jonathan, and they that were with him, leapt into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them. + +** I Maccabees 9:49 + +And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand men: and they returned to Jerusalem, + +** I Maccabees 9:50 + +And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars. + +** I Maccabees 9:51 + +And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel: + +** I Maccabees 9:52 + +And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals: + +** I Maccabees 9:53 + +And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody. + +** I Maccabees 9:54 + +Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to destroy. + +** I Maccabees 9:55 + +At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house. + +** I Maccabees 9:56 + +And Alcimus died at that time in great torment. + +** I Maccabees 9:57 + +And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years. + +** I Maccabees 9:58 + +And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease and without fear: now, therefore, let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night. + +** I Maccabees 9:59 + +So they went, and gave him counsel. + +** I Maccabees 9:60 + +And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them. + +** I Maccabees 9:61 + +And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and he slew them. + +** I Maccabees 9:62 + +And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it. + +** I Maccabees 9:63 + +And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea. + +** I Maccabees 9:64 + +And he came, and camped above Bethbessen, and fought against it many days, and made engines. + +** I Maccabees 9:65 + +But Jonathan left his brother, Simon, in the city and went forth into the country, and came with a number of men, + +** I Maccabees 9:66 + +And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron, in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces. + +** I Maccabees 9:67 + +But Simon, and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines, + +** I Maccabees 9:68 + +And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain. + +** I Maccabees 9:69 + +And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country. + +** I Maccabees 9:70 + +And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners. + +** I Maccabees 9:71 + +And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life. + +** I Maccabees 9:72 + +And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned, and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders. + +** I Maccabees 9:73 + +So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel. + +* I Maccabees 10 + +** I Maccabees 10:1 + +Now in the hundred and sixtieth year, Alexander, the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there. + +** I Maccabees 10:2 + +And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight. + +** I Maccabees 10:3 + +And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan, with peaceable words, to magnify him. + +** I Maccabees 10:4 + +For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us. + +** I Maccabees 10:5 + +For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation. + +** I Maccabees 10:6 + +And he gave him authority to gather together a army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him. + +** I Maccabees 10:7 + +And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle. + +** I Maccabees 10:8 + +And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army. + +** I Maccabees 10:9 + +And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents. + +** I Maccabees 10:10 + +And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city. + +** I Maccabees 10:11 + +And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did. + +** I Maccabees 10:12 + +Then the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away. + +** I Maccabees 10:13 + +And every man left his place, and departed into his own country: + +** I Maccabees 10:14 + +Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them. + +** I Maccabees 10:15 + +And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured. + +** I Maccabees 10:16 + +And he said: Shall we find such another man? now, therefore, we will make him our friend and our confederate. + +** I Maccabees 10:17 + +So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying: + +** I Maccabees 10:18 + +King Alexander to his brother, Jonathan, greetings. + +** I Maccabees 10:19 + +We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend: + +** I Maccabees 10:20 + +Now therefore, we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us. + +** I Maccabees 10:21 + +Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms. + +** I Maccabees 10:22 + +And Demetrius heard these words, and was exceeding sorry, and said: + +** I Maccabees 10:23 + +What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself? + +** I Maccabees 10:24 + +I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me. + +** I Maccabees 10:25 + +And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting. + +** I Maccabees 10:26 + +Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad. + +** I Maccabees 10:27 + +Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf. + +** I Maccabees 10:28 + +And we will remit to you many charges, and will give you gifts. + +** I Maccabees 10:29 + +And now I free you, and all the Jews, from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed: + +** I Maccabees 10:30 + +And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth, and for ever: + +** I Maccabees 10:31 + +And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself. + +** I Maccabees 10:32 + +I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose, to keep it. + +** I Maccabees 10:33 + +And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes, even of their cattle. + +** I Maccabees 10:34 + +And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom: + +** I Maccabees 10:35 + +And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause. + +** I Maccabees 10:36 + +And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them, as is due to all the king's forces and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king: + +** I Maccabees 10:37 + +And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda. + +** I Maccabees 10:38 + +And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest: + +** I Maccabees 10:39 + +Ptolemais and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things. + +** I Maccabees 10:40 + +And I give every year fifteen thousand sickles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me: + +** I Maccabees 10:41 + +And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house. + +** I Maccabees 10:42 + +Moreover, the five thousand sickles of silver, which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry. + +** I Maccabees 10:43 + +And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free. + +** I Maccabees 10:44 + +For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues: + +** I Maccabees 10:45 + +For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea. + +** I Maccabees 10:46 + +Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them, nor received them because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly. + +** I Maccabees 10:47 + +And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped. + +** I Maccabees 10:48 + +And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius. + +** I Maccabees 10:49 + +And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close. + +** I Maccabees 10:50 + +And the battle was hard fought, till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day. + +** I Maccabees 10:51 + +And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt, with words to this effect, saying: + +** I Maccabees 10:52 + +Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom and am set in the throne of my ancestors, and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius and possessed our country, + +** I Maccabees 10:53 + +And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom: + +** I Maccabees 10:54 + +Now, therefore, let us make friendship one with another: and give me now thy daughter to wife, and I will be thy son in law, and I will give both thee and her gifts worthy of thee. + +** I Maccabees 10:55 + +And king Ptolomee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom. + +** I Maccabees 10:56 + +And now I will do to thee as thou hast written but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said. + +** I Maccabees 10:57 + +So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais, in the hundred and sixty-second year. + +** I Maccabees 10:58 + +And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter, Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, after the manner of kings. + +** I Maccabees 10:59 + +And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him. + +** I Maccabees 10:60 + +And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight. + +** I Maccabees 10:61 + +And some pestilent men of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him, to accuse him: and the king gave no heed to them. + +** I Maccabees 10:62 + +And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself. + +** I Maccabees 10:63 + +And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause. + +** I Maccabees 10:64 + +So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away. + +** I Maccabees 10:65 + +And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor, and partaker of his dominion. + +** I Maccabees 10:66 + +And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with peace and joy. + +** I Maccabees 10:67 + +In the year one hundred and sixty-five, Demetrius, the son of Demetrius, came from Crete into the land of his fathers. + +** I Maccabees 10:68 + +And king Alexander heard of it, and was much troubled, and returned to Antioch. + +** I Maccabees 10:69 + +And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan, the high priest, + +** I Maccabees 10:70 + +Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains. + +** I Maccabees 10:71 + +Now, therefore, if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war. + +** I Maccabees 10:72 + +Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land: + +** I Maccabees 10:73 + +And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to? + +** I Maccabees 10:74 + +Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon, his brother, met him to help him. + +** I Maccabees 10:75 + +And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it. + +** I Maccabees 10:76 + +And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe. + +** I Maccabees 10:77 + +And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army. + +** I Maccabees 10:78 + +And he went to Azotus, as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle. + +** I Maccabees 10:79 + +And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them. + +** I Maccabees 10:80 + +And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening. + +** I Maccabees 10:81 + +But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so their horses were fatigued. + +** I Maccabees 10:82 + +Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled. + +** I Maccabees 10:83 + +And they that were scattered about the plain fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's temple, there to save themselves. + +** I Maccabees 10:84 + +But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were round about it, and took the spoils of them and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire. + +** I Maccabees 10:85 + +So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men. + +** I Maccabees 10:86 + +And Jonathan, removed his army from thence and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour. + +** I Maccabees 10:87 + +And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils. + +** I Maccabees 10:88 + +And it came to pass, when Alexander, the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more. + +** I Maccabees 10:89 + +And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood. And he gave him Accaron, and all the borders thereof, in possession. + +* I Maccabees 11 + +** I Maccabees 11:1 + +And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom. + +** I Maccabees 11:2 + +And he went out into Syria with peaceable words and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law. + +** I Maccabees 11:3 + +Now when Ptolemee entered into the cities, he put garrisons of soldiers in every city. + +** I Maccabees 11:4 + +And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt with fire, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof, that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, and the graves of them that were slain in the battle, which they had made near the way. + +** I Maccabees 11:5 + +And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace. + +** I Maccabees 11:6 + +And Jonathan came to meet the king at Joppe with glory, and they saluted one another, and they lodged there. + +** I Maccabees 11:7 + +And Jonathan went with the king as far as the river, called Eleutherus: and he returned into Jerusalem. + +** I Maccabees 11:8 + +And king Ptolemee got the dominion of the cities by the sea side, even to Seleucia, and he devised evil designs against Alexander. + +** I Maccabees 11:9 + +And he sent ambassadors to Demetrius, saying: Come, let us make a league between us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in the kingdom of thy father. + +** I Maccabees 11:10 + +For I repent that I have given him my daughter: for he hath sought to kill me. + +** I Maccabees 11:11 + +And he slandered him, because he coveted his kingdom, + +** I Maccabees 11:12 + +And he took away his daughter, and gave her to Demetrius, and alienated himself from Alexander, and his enmities were made manifest. + +** I Maccabees 11:13 + +And Ptolemee entered into Antioch, and set two crowns upon his head, that of Egypt, and that of Asia. + +** I Maccabees 11:14 + +Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled. + +** I Maccabees 11:15 + +And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle: and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight. + +** I Maccabees 11:16 + +And Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be protected: and king Ptolemee was exalted. + +** I Maccabees 11:17 + +And Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head, and sent it to Ptolemee. + +** I Maccabees 11:18 + +And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp. + +** I Maccabees 11:19 + +And Demetrius reigned in the hundred and sixty-seventh year. + +** I Maccabees 11:20 + +In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it. + +** I Maccabees 11:21 + +Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle. + +** I Maccabees 11:22 + +And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him. + +** I Maccabees 11:23 + +But when Jonathan heard this, he bade them besiege it still: and he chose some of the ancients of Israel, and of the priests, and put himself in danger + +** I Maccabees 11:24 + +And he took gold, and silver, and raiment, and many other presents, and went to the king to Ptolemais and he found favour in his sight. + +** I Maccabees 11:25 + +And certain wicked men of his nation made complaints against him. + +** I Maccabees 11:26 + +And the king treated him as his predecessors had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends. + +** I Maccabees 11:27 + +And he confirmed him in the high priesthood and all the honours he had before, and he made him the chief of his friends. + +** I Maccabees 11:28 + +And Jonathan requested of the king that he would make Judea free from tribute, and the three governments, and Samaria, and the confines thereof: and he promised him three hundred talents. + +** I Maccabees 11:29 + +And the king consented: and he wrote letters to Jonathan of all these things, to this effect. + +** I Maccabees 11:30 + +King Demetrius to his brother, Jonathan, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting. + +** I Maccabees 11:31 + +We send you here a copy of the letter which we have written to Lasthenes, our parent, concerning you, that you might know it. + +** I Maccabees 11:32 + +King Demetrius to Lasthenes, his parent, greetings. + +** I Maccabees 11:33 + +We have determined to do good to the nation of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep the things that are just with us, for their good will which they bear towards us. + +** I Maccabees 11:34 + +We have ratified, therefore, unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees. + +** I Maccabees 11:35 + +And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from this time we discharge them of them: the saltpans also, and the crowns that were presented to us. + +** I Maccabees 11:36 + +We give all to them, and nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth and for ever. + +** I Maccabees 11:37 + +Now, therefore, see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be given to Jonathan, and set upon the holy mountain, in a conspicuous place. + +** I Maccabees 11:38 + +And king Demetrius, seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him. + +** I Maccabees 11:39 + +Now there was one Tryphon who had been of Alexander's party before: who seeing that all the army murmured against Demetrius, went to Emalchuel, the Arabian, who brought up Antiochus, the son of Alexander: + +** I Maccabees 11:40 + +And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days. + +** I Maccabees 11:41 + +And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel. + +** I Maccabees 11:42 + +And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve. + +** I Maccabees 11:43 + +Now, therefore, thou shalt do well if thou send me men to help me: for all my army is gone from me. + +** I Maccabees 11:44 + +And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming. + +** I Maccabees 11:45 + +And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king. + +** I Maccabees 11:46 + +And the king fled into the palace: and they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight. + +** I Maccabees 11:47 + +And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city. + +** I Maccabees 11:48 + +And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king. + +** I Maccabees 11:49 + +And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their mind, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying + +** I Maccabees 11:50 + +Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us, and the city. + +** I Maccabees 11:51 + +And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils. + +** I Maccabees 11:52 + +So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him. + +** I Maccabees 11:53 + +And he falsified all whatsoever he had said, and alienated himself from Jonathan, and did not reward him according to the benefits he had received from him, but gave him great trouble. + +** I Maccabees 11:54 + +And after this Tryphon returned, and with him Antiochus, the young boy, who was made king, and put on the diadem. + +** I Maccabees 11:55 + +And there assembled unto him all the hands which Demetrius had sent away, and they fought against Demetrius who turned his back and fled. + +** I Maccabees 11:56 + +And Tryphon took the elephants, and made himself master of Antioch. + +** I Maccabees 11:57 + +And young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan, saying: I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and I appoint thee ruler over the four cities, and to be one of the king's friends. + +** I Maccabees 11:58 + +And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle: + +** I Maccabees 11:59 + +And he made his brother, Simon, governor, from the borders of Tyre even to the confines of Egypt. + +** I Maccabees 11:60 + +Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the river, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves to him to help him, and he came to Ascalon, and they met him honourably out of the city. + +** I Maccabees 11:61 + +And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils. + +** I Maccabees 11:62 + +And the men of Gaza made supplication to Jonathan, and he gave them the right hand: and he took their sons for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem: and he went through the country, as far as Damascus. + +** I Maccabees 11:63 + +And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom. + +** I Maccabees 11:64 + +And he went against them: but left his brother, Simon, in the country. + +** I Maccabees 11:65 + +And Simon encamped against Bethsura, and assaulted it many days, and shut them up. + +** I Maccabees 11:66 + +And they desired him to make peace, and he granted it them: and he cast them out from thence, and took the city, and placed a garrison in it. + +** I Maccabees 11:67 + +And Jonathan and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor. + +** I Maccabees 11:68 + +And behold the army of the strangers met him in the plain, and they laid an ambush for him in the mountains: but he went out against them. + +** I Maccabees 11:69 + +And they that lay in ambush rose out of their places, and joined battle. + +** I Maccabees 11:70 + +And all that were on Jonathan's side fled, and none was left of them, but Mathathias, the son of Absalom, and Judas, the son of Calphi, chief captain of the army. + +** I Maccabees 11:71 + +And Jonathan rent his garments, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed. + +** I Maccabees 11:72 + +And Jonathan turned again to them to battle, and he put them to flight, and they fought. + +** I Maccabees 11:73 + +And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies, even to Cades, to their own camp, and they came even thither. + +** I Maccabees 11:74 + +And there fell of the aliens in that day three thousand men: and Jonathan returned to Jerusalem. + +* I Maccabees 12 + +** I Maccabees 12:1 + +And Jonathan saw that the time served him, and he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, to confirm and to renew the amity with them: + +** I Maccabees 12:2 + +And he sent letters to the Spartans, and to other places, according to the same form. + +** I Maccabees 12:3 + +And they went to Rome, and entered into the senate house, and said: Jonathan, the high priest, and the nation of the Jews, have sent us to renew the amity, and alliance, as it was before. + +** I Maccabees 12:4 + +And they gave them letters to their governors in every place, to conduct them into the land of Juda with peace. + +** I Maccabees 12:5 + +And this is a copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Spartans: + +** I Maccabees 12:6 + +Jonathan, the high priest, and the ancients of the nation, and the priests, and the rest of the people of the Jews, to the Spartans, their brethren, greeting. + +** I Maccabees 12:7 + +There were letters sent long ago to Onias the high priest, from Arius, who reigned then among you to signify that you are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify. + +** I Maccabees 12:8 + +And Onias received the ambassador with honour and received the letters, wherein there was mention made of the alliance, and amity. + +** I Maccabees 12:9 + +We, though we needed none of these things having for our comfort the holy books that are in our hands, + +** I Maccabees 12:10 + +Chose rather to send to you to renew the brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become stranger to you altogether: for there is a long time passed since you sent to us. + +** I Maccabees 12:11 + +We, therefore, at all times without ceasing, both in our festivals, and other days wherein it is convenient, remember you in the sacrifices that we offer, and in our observances, as it is meet and becoming to remember brethren. + +** I Maccabees 12:12 + +And we rejoice at your glory. + +** I Maccabees 12:13 + +But we have had many troubles and wars on every side; and the kings that are round about us have fought against us. + +** I Maccabees 12:14 + +But we would not be troublesome to you, nor to the rest of our allies and friends, in these wars. + +** I Maccabees 12:15 + +For we have had help from heaven, and we have been delivered, and our enemies are humbled. + +** I Maccabees 12:16 + +We have chosen, therefore, Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater, the son of Jason, and have sent them to the Romans, to renew with them the former amity and alliance. + +** I Maccabees 12:17 + +And we have commanded them to go also to you, and salute you, and to deliver you our letters, concerning the renewing of our brotherhood. + +** I Maccabees 12:18 + +And now you shall do well to give us an answer hereto. + +** I Maccabees 12:19 + +And this is the copy of the letter which he had sent to Onias: + +** I Maccabees 12:20 + +Arius, king of the Spartans, to Onias, the high priest, greeting. + +** I Maccabees 12:21 + +It is found in writing concerning the Spartans, and the Jews, that they are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham. + +** I Maccabees 12:22 + +And now since this is come to our knowledge, you do well to write to us of your prosperity. + +** I Maccabees 12:23 + +And we also have written back to you, That our cattle, and our possessions, are yours: and yours, ours. We, therefore, have commanded that these things should be told you. + +** I Maccabees 12:24 + +Now Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come again with a greater army than before to fight against him. + +** I Maccabees 12:25 + +So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country. + +** I Maccabees 12:26 + +And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back, and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night. + +** I Maccabees 12:27 + +And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp. + +** I Maccabees 12:28 + +And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle: and they were struck with fear and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp. + +** I Maccabees 12:29 + +But Jonathan, and they that were with him, knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning. + +** I Maccabees 12:30 + +And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus. + +** I Maccabees 12:31 + +And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians, that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them. + +** I Maccabees 12:32 + +And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country. + +** I Maccabees 12:33 + +Simon also went forth, and came as far as Ascalon, and the neighbouring fortresses, and he turned aside to Joppe, and took possession of it, + +** I Maccabees 12:34 + +(For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius) and he put a garrison there to keep it. + +** I Maccabees 12:35 + +And Jonathan came back, and called together the ancients of the people; and he took a resolution with them to build fortresses in Judea, + +** I Maccabees 12:36 + +And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell. + +** I Maccabees 12:37 + +And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook, towards the east, was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha: + +** I Maccabees 12:38 + +And Simon built Adiada in Sephela, and fortified it, and set up gates and bars. + +** I Maccabees 12:39 + +Now when Tryphon had conceived a design to make himself king of Asia and to take the crown, and to stretch out his hand against king Antiochus: + +** I Maccabees 12:40 + +Fearing lest Jonathan would not suffer him, but would fight against him: he sought to seize upon him, and to kill him. So he rose up and came to Bethsan. + +** I Maccabees 12:41 + +And Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for battle, and came to Bethsan. + +** I Maccabees 12:42 + +Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him. + +** I Maccabees 12:43 + +But received him with honour, and commended him to all his friends, and gave him presents: and he commanded his troops to obey him, as himself. + +** I Maccabees 12:44 + +And he said to Jonathan: Why hast thou troubled all the people, whereas we have no war? + +** I Maccabees 12:45 + +Now, therefore, send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming. + +** I Maccabees 12:46 + +And Jonathan believed him, and did as he said: and sent away his army, and they departed into the land of Juda: + +** I Maccabees 12:47 + +But he kept with him three thousand men: of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him. + +** I Maccabees 12:48 + +Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword. + +** I Maccabees 12:49 + +Then Tryphon sent an army and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's company. + +** I Maccabees 12:50 + +But they, when they understood that Jonathan, and all that were with him, were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle. + +** I Maccabees 12:51 + +Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back. + +** I Maccabees 12:52 + +Whereupon they all came peaceably into the land of Juda and they bewailed Jonathan, and them that had been with him, exceedingly: and Israel mourned with great lamentation. + +** I Maccabees 12:53 + +Then all the heathens that were round about them, sought to destroy them. For they said: + +** I Maccabees 12:54 + +They have no prince, nor any to help them: now therefore, let us make war upon them, and take away the memory of them from amongst men. + +* I Maccabees 13 + +** I Maccabees 13:1 + +Now Simon heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it. + +** I Maccabees 13:2 + +And seeing that the people was in dread and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people, + +** I Maccabees 13:3 + +And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen: + +** I Maccabees 13:4 + +By reason whereof all my brethren have lost their lives for Israel's sake, and I am left alone. + +** I Maccabees 13:5 + +And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren. + +** I Maccabees 13:6 + +I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice. + +** I Maccabees 13:7 + +And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words: + +** I Maccabees 13:8 + +And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan, thy brother: + +** I Maccabees 13:9 + +Fight thou our battles, and we will do whatsoever thou shalt say to us. + +** I Maccabees 13:10 + +So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about. + +** I Maccabees 13:11 + +And he sent Jonathan, the son of Absalom, and with him a new army, into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there. + +** I Maccabees 13:12 + +And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody. + +** I Maccabees 13:13 + +But Simon pitched in Addus, over against the plain. + +** I Maccabees 13:14 + +And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother, Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him, + +** I Maccabees 13:15 + +Saying: We have detained thy brother, Jonathan, for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of. + +** I Maccabees 13:16 + +But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him. + +** I Maccabees 13:17 + +Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him; nevertheless, he ordered the money and the children to be sent, lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said: + +** I Maccabees 13:18 + +Because he sent not the money and the children therefore is he lost. + +** I Maccabees 13:19 + +So he sent the children and the hundred talents and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go. + +** I Maccabees 13:20 + +And after this, Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went. + +** I Maccabees 13:21 + +And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals. + +** I Maccabees 13:22 + +And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night; but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad. + +** I Maccabees 13:23 + +And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there. + +** I Maccabees 13:24 + +And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country. + +** I Maccabees 13:25 + +And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan, his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers. + +** I Maccabees 13:26 + +And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days. + +** I Maccabees 13:27 + +And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone, behind and before: + +** I Maccabees 13:28 + +And he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren: + +** I Maccabees 13:29 + +And round about these he set great pillars; and upon the pillars, arms, for a perpetual memory; and by the arms, ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea. + +** I Maccabees 13:30 + +This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin, even unto this day. + +** I Maccabees 13:31 + +But Tryphon, when he was upon a journey with the young king, Antiochus, treacherously slew him. + +** I Maccabees 13:32 + +And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land. + +** I Maccabees 13:33 + +And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses. + +** I Maccabees 13:34 + +And Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land; for all that Tryphon did, was to spoil. + +** I Maccabees 13:35 + +And king Demetrius, in answer to this request, wrote a letter in this manner: + +** I Maccabees 13:36 + +King Demetrius to Simon, the high priest, and friend of kings, and to the ancients, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting: + +** I Maccabees 13:37 + +The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released. + +** I Maccabees 13:38 + +For all that we have decreed in your favour shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own. + +** I Maccabees 13:39 + +And as for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it: and the crown which you owed: and if any other thing were taxed in Jerusalem, now let it not be taxed. + +** I Maccabees 13:40 + +And if any of you be fit to be enrolled among ours, let them be enrolled, and let there be peace between us. + +** I Maccabees 13:41 + +In the year one hundred and seventy, the yoke of the Gentiles was taken off from Israel. + +** I Maccabees 13:42 + +And the people of Israel began to write in the instruments, and public records, The first year under Simon, the high priest, the great captain, and prince of the Jews. + +** I Maccabees 13:43 + +In those days Simon besieged Gaza, and camped round about it, and he made engines, and set them to the city, and he struck one tower, and took it. + +** I Maccabees 13:44 + +And they that were within the engine leapt into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city. + +** I Maccabees 13:45 + +And they that were in the city went up, with their wives and children, upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace. + +** I Maccabees 13:46 + +And they said: Deal not with us according to our evil deeds, but according to thy mercy. + +** I Maccabees 13:47 + +And Simon being moved, did not destroy them but yet he cast them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein there had been idols, and then he entered into it with hymns, blessing the Lord: + +** I Maccabees 13:48 + +And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation. + +** I Maccabees 13:49 + +But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine. + +** I Maccabees 13:50 + +And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses. + +** I Maccabees 13:51 + +And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel. + +** I Maccabees 13:52 + +And he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness. + +** I Maccabees 13:53 + +And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him. + +** I Maccabees 13:54 + +And Simon saw that John, his son, was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara. + +* I Maccabees 14 + +** I Maccabees 14:1 + +In the year one hundred and seventy-two king Demetrius assembled his army, and went into Media to get him succours to fight against Tryphon. + +** I Maccabees 14:2 + +And Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him. + +** I Maccabees 14:3 + +And he went, and defeated the army of Demetrius: and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, and he put him into custody. + +** I Maccabees 14:4 + +And all the land of Juda was at rest all the days of Simon, and he sought the good of his nation: and his power, and his glory pleased them well all his days. + +** I Maccabees 14:5 + +And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea. + +** I Maccabees 14:6 + +And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country. + +** I Maccabees 14:7 + +And he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it, and there was none that resisted him. + +** I Maccabees 14:8 + +And every man tilled his land with peace, and the land of Juda yielded her increase, and the trees of the fields their fruit. + +** I Maccabees 14:9 + +The ancient men sat all in the streets, and treated together of the good things of the land, and the young men put on them glory, and the robes of war. + +** I Maccabees 14:10 + +And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth. + +** I Maccabees 14:11 + +He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy. + +** I Maccabees 14:12 + +And every man sat under his vine, and under his fig tree: and there was none to make them afraid. + +** I Maccabees 14:13 + +There was none left in the land to fight against them: kings were discomfited in those days. + +** I Maccabees 14:14 + +And he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low, and he sought the law, and took away every unjust and wicked man. + +** I Maccabees 14:15 + +He glorified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels of the holy places. + +** I Maccabees 14:16 + +And it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead: and they were very sorry. + +** I Maccabees 14:17 + +But when they heard that Simon, his brother, was made high priest in his place, and was possessed of all the country, and the cities therein: + +** I Maccabees 14:18 + +They wrote to him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and alliance which they had made with Judas and with Jonathan, his brethren. + +** I Maccabees 14:19 + +And they were read before the assembly in Jerusalem. And this is the copy of the letters that the Spartans sent. + +** I Maccabees 14:20 + +The princes and the cities of the Spartans, to Simon, the high priest, and to the ancients, and the priests, and the rest of the people of the Jews, their brethren, greeting. + +** I Maccabees 14:21 + +The ambassadors that were sent to our people, have told us of your glory, and honour, and joy: and we rejoiced at their coming. + +** I Maccabees 14:22 + +And we registered what was said by them in the councils of the people, in this manner: Numenius, the son of Antiochus, and Antipater, the son of Jason, ambassadors of the Jews, came to us to renew the former friendship with us. + +** I Maccabees 14:23 + +And it pleased the people to receive the men honourably, and to put a copy of their words in the public records, to be a memorial to the people of the Spartans. And we have written a copy of them to Simon, the high priest. + +** I Maccabees 14:24 + +And after this Simon sent Numenius to Rome, with a great shield of gold, of the weight of a thousand pounds, to confirm the league with them. And when the people of Rome had heard + +** I Maccabees 14:25 + +These words, they said: What thanks shall we give to Simon, and his sons: + +** I Maccabees 14:26 + +For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion. + +** I Maccabees 14:27 + +And this is a copy of the writing. The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the year one hundred and seventy-two, being the third year under Simon, the high priest, at Asaramel, + +** I Maccabees 14:28 + +In a great assembly of the priests, and of the people, and the princes of the nation, and the ancients of the country, these things were notified: Forasmuch as there have often been wars in our country, + +** I Maccabees 14:29 + +And Simon, the son of Mathathias, of the children of Jarib, and his brethren, have put themselves in danger, and resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory. + +** I Maccabees 14:30 + +And Jonathan gathered together his nation, and was made their high priest, and he was laid to his people. + +** I Maccabees 14:31 + +And their enemies desired to tread down and destroy their country, and to stretch forth their hands against their holy places. + +** I Maccabees 14:32 + +Then Simon resisted and fought for his nation, and laid out much of his money, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages. + +** I Maccabees 14:33 + +And he fortified the cities of Judea and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews. + +** I Maccabees 14:34 + +And he fortified Joppe, which lieth by the sea: and Gazara, which bordereth upon Azotus, wherein the enemies dwelt before, and he placed Jews here: and furnished them with all things convenient for their reparation. + +** I Maccabees 14:35 + +And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people. + +** I Maccabees 14:36 + +And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David, in Jerusalem, in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to purity. + +** I Maccabees 14:37 + +And he placed therein Jews for the defence of the country, and of the city, and he raised up the walls of Jerusalem. + +** I Maccabees 14:38 + +And king Demetrius confirmed him in the high priesthood. + +** I Maccabees 14:39 + +According to these things he made him his friend, and glorified him with great glory. + +** I Maccabees 14:40 + +For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon's ambassadors with honour: + +** I Maccabees 14:41 + +And that the Jews, and their priests, had consented that he should be their prince and high priest for ever, till there should arise a faithful prophet: + +** I Maccabees 14:42 + +And that he should be chief over them, and that he should have the charge of the sanctuary, and that he should appoint rulers over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the strong holds; + +** I Maccabees 14:43 + +And that he should have care of the holy places; and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name; and that he should be clothed with purple and gold: + +** I Maccabees 14:44 + +And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold. + +** I Maccabees 14:45 + +And whosoever shall do otherwise, or shall make void any of these things, shall be punished. + +** I Maccabees 14:46 + +And it pleased all the people to establish Simon, and to do according to these words. + +** I Maccabees 14:47 + +And Simon accepted thereof, and was well pleased to execute the office of the high priesthood, and to be captain, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests, and to be chief over all. + +** I Maccabees 14:48 + +And they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary, in a conspicuous place: + +** I Maccabees 14:49 + +And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon, and his sons, may have it. + +* I Maccabees 15 + +** I Maccabees 15:1 + +And king Antiochus, the son of Demetrius, sent letters from the isles of the sea to Simon, the priest, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and to all the people: + +** I Maccabees 15:2 + +And the contents were these: King Antiochus to Simon, the high priest, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting. + +** I Maccabees 15:3 + +Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge the kingdom, and to restore it to its former estate; and I have chosen a great army, and have built ships of war. + +** I Maccabees 15:4 + +And I design to go through the country, that I may take revenge of them that have destroyed our country, and that have made many cities desolate in my realm. + +** I Maccabees 15:5 + +Now, therefore, I confirm unto thee all the oblations which all the kings before me remitted to thee, and what other gifts soever they remitted to thee: + +** I Maccabees 15:6 + +And I give thee leave to coin thy own money in thy country: + +** I Maccabees 15:7 + +And let Jerusalem be holy and free, and all the armour that hath been made, and the fortresses which thou hast built, and which thou keepest in thy hands, let them remain to thee. + +** I Maccabees 15:8 + +And all that is due to the king, and what should be the king's hereafter, from this present and for ever, is forgiven thee. + +** I Maccabees 15:9 + +And when we shall have recovered our kingdom, we will glorify thee, and thy nation, and the temple, with

So the woman staid at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him. + +** I Samuel 1:24 + +And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young: + +** I Samuel 1:25 + +And they immolated a calf, and offered the child to Heli. + +** I Samuel 1:26 + +And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before thee here praying to the Lord. + +** I Samuel 1:27 + +For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him. + +** I Samuel 1:28 + +Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said: + +* I Samuel 2 + +** I Samuel 2:1 + +My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies: because I have joyed in thy salvation. + +** I Samuel 2:2 + +There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, and there is none strong like our God. + +** I Samuel 2:3 + +Do not multiply to speak lofty things, boasting: let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, and to him are thoughts prepared. + +** I Samuel 2:4 + +The bow of the mighty is overcome, and the weak are girt with strength. + +** I Samuel 2:5 + +They that were full before, have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened. + +** I Samuel 2:6 + +The Lord killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell, and bringeth back again. + +** I Samuel 2:7 + +The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth: + +** I Samuel 2:8 + +He raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lord's, and upon them he hath set the world. + +** I Samuel 2:9 + +He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; because no man shall prevail by his own strength. + +** I Samuel 2:10 + +The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens: The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ. + +** I Samuel 2:11 + +And Elcana went to Ramatha, to his house: but the child ministered in the sight of the Lord before the face of Heli the priest. + +** I Samuel 2:12 + +Now the sons of Heli were children of Belial, not knowing the Lord, + +** I Samuel 2:13 + +Nor the office of the priests to the people: but whosoever had offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest came, while the flesh was in boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand, + +** I Samuel 2:14 + +And thrust it into the kettle, or into the cauldron, or into the pot, or into the pan: and all that the fleshhook brought up, the priest took to himself. Thus did they to all Israel that came to Silo. + +** I Samuel 2:15 + +Also before they burnt the fat, the servant of the priest came, and said to the man that sacrificed: Give me flesh to boil for the priest: for I will not take of thee sodden flesh, but raw. + +** I Samuel 2:16 + +And he that sacrificed said to him: Let the fat first be burnt to day, according to the custom, and then take to thee as much as thy soul desireth. But he answered, and said to him: Not so: but thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it by force. + +** I Samuel 2:17 + +Wherefore the sin of the young men was exceeding great before the Lord: because they withdrew men from the sacrifice of the Lord. + +** I Samuel 2:18 + +But Samuel ministered before the face of the Lord: being a child girded with a linen ephod. + +** I Samuel 2:19 + +And his mother made him a little coat, which she brought to him on the appointed days, when she went up with her husband, to offer the solemn sacrifice. + +** I Samuel 2:20 + +And Heli blessed Elcana and his wife: and he said to him: The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for the loan thou hast lent to the Lord. And they went to their own home. + +** I Samuel 2:21 + +And the Lord visited Anna, and she conceived, and bore three sons, and two daughters: and the child Samuel became great before the Lord. + +** I Samuel 2:22 + +Now Heli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel: and how they lay with the women that waited at the door of the tabernacle: + +** I Samuel 2:23 + +And he said to them: Why do ye these kinds of things, which I hear, very wicked things, from all the people? + +** I Samuel 2:24 + +Do not so, my sons: for it is no good report that I hear, that you make the people of the Lord to transgress. + +** I Samuel 2:25 + +If one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them. + +** I Samuel 2:26 + +But the child Samuel advanced, and grew on, and pleased both the Lord and men. + +** I Samuel 2:27 + +And there came a man of God to Heli, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Did I not plainly appear to thy father's house, when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharao? + +** I Samuel 2:28 + +And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, and burn incense to me, and to wear the ephod before me: and I gave to thy father's house of all the sacrifices of the children of Israel. + +** I Samuel 2:29 + +Why have you kicked away my victims, and my gifts which I commanded to be offered in the temple: and thou hast rather honoured thy sons than me, to eat the firstfruits of every sacrifice of my people Israel? + +** I Samuel 2:30 + +Wherefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should minister in my sight, for ever. But now saith the Lord: Far be this from me: but whosoever shall glorify me, him will I glorify: but they that despise me, shall be despised. + +** I Samuel 2:31 + +Behold the days come: and I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house. + +** I Samuel 2:32 + +And thou shalt see thy rival in the temple, in all the prosperity of Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever. + +** I Samuel 2:33 + +However, I will not altogether take away a man of thee from my altar: but that thy eyes may faint, and thy soul be spent: and a great part of thy house shall die, when they come to man's estate. + +** I Samuel 2:34 + +And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees: in one day they shall both of them die. + +** I Samuel 2:35 + +And I will raise me up a faithful priest, who shall do according to my heart, and my soul and I will build him a faithful house, and he shall walk all days before my anointed. + +** I Samuel 2:36 + +And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread. + +* I Samuel 3 + +** I Samuel 3:1 + +Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision. + +** I Samuel 3:2 + +And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see: + +** I Samuel 3:3 + +Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. + +** I Samuel 3:4 + +And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I. + +** I Samuel 3:5 + +And he ran to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept. + +** I Samuel 3:6 + +And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep. + +** I Samuel 3:7 + +Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him. + +** I Samuel 3:8 + +And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli, + +** I Samuel 3:9 + +And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. + +** I Samuel 3:10 + +And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, as he had called the other times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. + +** I Samuel 3:11 + +And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle. + +** I Samuel 3:12 + +In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end. + +** I Samuel 3:13 + +For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them. + +** I Samuel 3:14 + +Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever. + +** I Samuel 3:15 + +And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli. + +** I Samuel 3:16 + +Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I. + +** I Samuel 3:17 + +And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee. + +** I Samuel 3:18 + +So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight. + +** I Samuel 3:19 + +And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground. + +** I Samuel 3:20 + +And all Israel, from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord. + +** I Samuel 3:21 + +And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel. + +* I Samuel 4 + +** I Samuel 4:1 + +And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec, + +** I Samuel 4:2 + +And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines: and there were slain in that fight, here and there in the fields, about four thousand men. + +** I Samuel 4:3 + +And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies. + +** I Samuel 4:4 + +So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God. + +** I Samuel 4:5 + +And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again. + +** I Samuel 4:6 + +And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp. + +** I Samuel 4:7 + +And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said: + +** I Samuel 4:8 + +Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday, and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high Gods? these are the Gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert. + +** I Samuel 4:9 + +Take courage, and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight. + +** I Samuel 4:10 + +So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. + +** I Samuel 4:11 + +And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain. + +** I Samuel 4:12 + +And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust. + +** I Samuel 4:13 + +And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way, watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out. + +** I Samuel 4:14 + +And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli. + +** I Samuel 4:15 + +Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see. + +** I Samuel 4:16 + +And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son? + +** I Samuel 4:17 + +And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken. + +** I Samuel 4:18 + +And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: And he judged Israel forty years. + +** I Samuel 4:19 + +And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden. + +** I Samuel 4:20 + +And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them. + +** I Samuel 4:21 + +And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and for her husband: + +** I Samuel 4:22 + +And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken. + +* I Samuel 5 + +** I Samuel 5:1 + +And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus. + +** I Samuel 5:2 + +And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. + +** I Samuel 5:3 + +And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place. + +** I Samuel 5:4 + +And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, were cut off upon the threshold: + +** I Samuel 5:5 + +And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day. + +** I Samuel 5:6 + +And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city. + +** I Samuel 5:7 + +And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon, our god. + +** I Samuel 5:8 + +And sending, they gathered together all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said: What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And the Gethites answered: Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about. + +** I Samuel 5:9 + +And while they were carrying it about, the hand of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins. + +** I Samuel 5:10 + +Therefore they sent the ark of God into Accaron. And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people. + +** I Samuel 5:11 + +They sent therefore, and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines: and they said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return into its own place, and not kill us and our people. + +** I Samuel 5:12 + +For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven. + +* I Samuel 6 + +** I Samuel 6:1 + +Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months. + +** I Samuel 6:2 + +And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place. And they said: + +** I Samuel 6:3 + +If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you. + +** I Samuel 6:4 + +They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered: + +** I Samuel 6:5 + +According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice, that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land. + +** I Samuel 6:6 + +Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed? + +** I Samuel 6:7 + +Now, therefore, take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home. + +** I Samuel 6:8 + +And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box at the side thereof: and send it away, that it may go. + +** I Samuel 6:9 + +And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts, towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance. + +** I Samuel 6:10 + +They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had sucking calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home. + +** I Samuel 6:11 + +And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice, and the likeness of the emerods. + +** I Samuel 6:12 + +And the kine took the straight way, that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames. + +** I Samuel 6:13 + +Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes, they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. + +** I Samuel 6:14 + +And the cart came into the field of Josue, a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord. + +** I Samuel 6:15 + +And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord. + +** I Samuel 6:16 + +And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day. + +** I Samuel 6:17 + +And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for sin to the Lord: For Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one: + +** I Samuel 6:18 + +And the golden mice, according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite. + +** I Samuel 6:19 + +But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord, and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter. + +** I Samuel 6:20 + +And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? + +** I Samuel 6:21 + +And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you. + +* I Samuel 7 + +** I Samuel 7:1 + +And the men of Cariathiarim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and carried it into the house of Abinadab, in Gabaa: and they sanctified Eleazar, his son, to keep the ark of the Lord. + +** I Samuel 7:2 + +And it came to pass, that from the day the ark of the Lord abode in Cariathiarim, days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested, following the Lord. + +** I Samuel 7:3 + +And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying: If you turn to the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, Baalim and Astaroth: and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 7:4 + +Then the children of Israel put away Baalim and Astaroth, and served the Lord only. + +** I Samuel 7:5 + +And Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you. + +** I Samuel 7:6 + +And they gathered together to Masphath, and they drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and they fasted on that day, and they said there: We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath. + +** I Samuel 7:7 + +And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Masphath, and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 7:8 + +And they said to Samuel: Cease not to cry to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us out of the hand of the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 7:9 + +And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it whole for a holocaust to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him. + +** I Samuel 7:10 + +And it came to pass, when Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and terrified them, and they were overthrown before the face of Israel. + +** I Samuel 7:11 + +And the men of Israel going out of Masphath, pursued after the Philistines, and made slaughter of them till they came under Bethchar. + +** I Samuel 7:12 + +And Samuel took a stone, and laid it between Masphath and Sen: and he called the place The stone of help. And he said: Thus far the Lord hath helped us. + +** I Samuel 7:13 + +And the Philistines were humbled, and they did not come any more into the borders of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines, all the days of Samuel. + +** I Samuel 7:14 + +And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Accaron to Geth, and their borders: and he delivered Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and there was peace between Israel and the Amorrhites. + +** I Samuel 7:15 + +And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life: + +** I Samuel 7:16 + +And he went every year about to Bethel and to Galgal and to Masphath, and he judged Israel in the foresaid places. + +** I Samuel 7:17 + +And he returned to Ramatha: for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord. + +* I Samuel 8 + +** I Samuel 8:1 + +And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. + +** I Samuel 8:2 + +Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee. + +** I Samuel 8:3 + +And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. + +** I Samuel 8:4 + +Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled came to Samuel to Ramatha. + +** I Samuel 8:5 + +And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have. + +** I Samuel 8:6 + +And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord. + +** I Samuel 8:7 + +And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them. + +** I Samuel 8:8 + +According to all their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange gods, so do they also unto thee. + +** I Samuel 8:9 + +Now, therefore, hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them. + +** I Samuel 8:10 + +Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him, + +** I Samuel 8:11 + +And said: This will be the right of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen, to run before his chariots, + +** I Samuel 8:12 + +And he will appoint of them to be his tribunes, and his centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots. + +** I Samuel 8:13 + +Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers. + +** I Samuel 8:14 + +And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants. + +** I Samuel 8:15 + +Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give to his eunuchs and servants. + +** I Samuel 8:16 + +Your servants also, and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, he will take away, and put them to his work. + +** I Samuel 8:17 + +Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants. + +** I Samuel 8:18 + +And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves: and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king. + +** I Samuel 8:19 + +But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said, Nay: but there shall be a king over us, + +** I Samuel 8:20 + +And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles for us. + +** I Samuel 8:21 + +And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord. + +** I Samuel 8:22 + +And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go to his city. + +* I Samuel 9 + +** I Samuel 9:1 + +Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Cis, the son of Abiel, the son of Seror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphia, the son of a man of Jemini, valiant and strong. + +** I Samuel 9:2 + +And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people. + +** I Samuel 9:3 + +And the asses of Cis, Saul's father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through Mount Ephraim, + +** I Samuel 9:4 + +And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not. + +** I Samuel 9:5 + +And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us. + +** I Samuel 9:6 + +And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now, therefore, let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come. + +** I Samuel 9:7 + +And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all. + +** I Samuel 9:8 + +The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way. + +** I Samuel 9:9 + +Now in time past in Israel, when a man went to consult God, he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer. + +** I Samuel 9:10 + +And Saul said to his servant: Thy word is very good, come let us go. And they went into the city, where the man of God was. + +** I Samuel 9:11 + +And when they went up the ascent to the city, they found maids coming out to draw water, and they said to them: Is the seer here? + +** I Samuel 9:12 + +They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came to day into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place. + +** I Samuel 9:13 + +As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come; because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now, therefore, go up, for to day you shall find him. + +** I Samuel 9:14 + +And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place. + +** I Samuel 9:15 + +Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying: + +** I Samuel 9:16 + +To morrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me. + +** I Samuel 9:17 + +And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people. + +** I Samuel 9:18 + +And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer? + +** I Samuel 9:19 + +And Samuel answered Saul, saying: I am the seer; go up before me to the high place, that you may eat with me to day, and I will let thee go in the morning: and tell thee all that is in thy heart. + +** I Samuel 9:20 + +And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father's house? + +** I Samuel 9:21 + +And Saul answering, said: Am not I a son of Jemini of the least tribe of Israel, and my kindred the last among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then hast thou spoken this word to me? + +** I Samuel 9:22 + +Then Samuel taking Saul, and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men. + +** I Samuel 9:23 + +And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee. + +** I Samuel 9:24 + +And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat; because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day. + +** I Samuel 9:25 + +And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house and he slept. + +** I Samuel 9:26 + +And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them: to wit, he and Samuel. + +** I Samuel 9:27 + +And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord. + +* I Samuel 10 + +** I Samuel 10:1 + +And Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince. + +** I Samuel 10:2 + +When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek: and thy father, thinking no more of the asses, is concerned for you, and saith: What shall I do for my son? + +** I Samuel 10:3 + +And when thou shalt depart from thence, and go farther on, and shalt come to the oak of Thabor, there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine. + +** I Samuel 10:4 + +And they will salute thee, and will give thee two loaves, and thou shalt take them at their hand. + +** I Samuel 10:5 + +After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is: and when thou shalt be come there into the city, thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place, with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they shall be prophesying. + +** I Samuel 10:6 + +And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be changed into another man. + +** I Samuel 10:7 + +When therefore these signs shall happen to thee, do whatsoever thy hand shall find, for the Lord is with thee. + +** I Samuel 10:8 + +And thou shalt go down before me to Galgal, (for I will come down to thee), that thou mayst offer an oblation, and sacrifice victims of peace: seven days shalt thou wait, till I come to thee, and I will shew thee what thou art to do. + +** I Samuel 10:9 + +So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day. + +** I Samuel 10:10 + +And they came to the foresaid hill, and behold a company of prophets met him: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them. + +** I Samuel 10:11 + +And all that had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? is Saul also among the prophets? + +** I Samuel 10:12 + +And one answered another, saying: And who is their father? therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets? + +** I Samuel 10:13 + +And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. + +** I Samuel 10:14 + +And Saul's uncle said to him, and to his servant: Whither went you? They answered: To seek the asses: and not finding them, we went to Samuel. + +** I Samuel 10:15 + +And his uncle said to him: Tell me what Samuel said to thee. + +** I Samuel 10:16 + +And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not. + +** I Samuel 10:17 + +And Samuel called together the people to the Lord in Maspha: + +** I Samuel 10:18 + +And he said to the children of Israel: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who afflicted you. + +** I Samuel 10:19 + +But you this day have rejected your God, who only hath saved you out of all your evils and your tribulations: and you have said: Nay: but set a king over us. Now therefore stand before the Lord by your tribes, and by your families. + +** I Samuel 10:20 + +And Samuel brought to him all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell on the tribe of Benjamin. + +** I Samuel 10:21 + +And he brought the tribe of Benjamin and the kindreds thereof, and the lot fell upon the kindred of Metri, and it came to Saul, the son of Cis. They sought him therefore, and he was not found. + +** I Samuel 10:22 + +And after this they consulted the Lord whether he would come thither. And the Lord answered: Behold he is hidden at home. + +** I Samuel 10:23 + +And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward. + +** I Samuel 10:24 + +And Samuel said to all the people: Surely you see him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people. And all the people cried and said: God save the king. + +** I Samuel 10:25 + +And Samuel told the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, every one to his own house. + +** I Samuel 10:26 + +Saul also departed to his own house in Gabaa: and there went with him a part of the army, whose hearts God had touched. + +** I Samuel 10:27 + +But the children of Belial said: Shall this fellow be able to save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents; but he dissembled as though he heard not. + +* I Samuel 11 + +** I Samuel 11:1 + +And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas, the Ammonite, came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. + +** I Samuel 11:2 + +And Naas, the Ammonite, answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in all Israel. + +** I Samuel 11:3 + +And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee. + +** I Samuel 11:4 + +The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. + +** I Samuel 11:5 + +And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes. + +** I Samuel 11:6 + +And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled. + +** I Samuel 11:7 + +And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel, by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man. + +** I Samuel 11:8 + +And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand. + +** I Samuel 11:9 + +And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: To morrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes, and they were glad. + +** I Samuel 11:10 + +And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us. + +** I Samuel 11:11 + +And it came to pass, when the morrow was come, that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. + +** I Samuel 11:12 + +And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men, and we will kill them. + +** I Samuel 11:13 + +And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day: because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel: + +** I Samuel 11:14 + +And Samuel said to the people: Come, and let us go to Galgal, and let us renew the kingdom there. + +** I Samuel 11:15 + +And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king, before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly. + +* I Samuel 12 + +** I Samuel 12:1 + +And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you. + +** I Samuel 12:2 + +And now the king goeth before you: but I am old and greyheaded: and my sons are with you: having then conversed with you from my youth until this day, behold here I am. + +** I Samuel 12:3 + +Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man's ox, or ass: if I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man's hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you. + +** I Samuel 12:4 + +And they said: Thou hast not wronged us, nor oppressed us, nor taken ought at any man's hand. + +** I Samuel 12:5 + +And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness. + +** I Samuel 12:6 + +And Samuel said to the people: It is the Lord who made Moses and Aaron, and brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt. + +** I Samuel 12:7 + +Now, therefore, stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath shewn to you, and to your fathers: + +** I Samuel 12:8 + +How Jacob went into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the Lord: and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. + +** I Samuel 12:9 + +And they forgot the Lord their God, and he delivered them into the hands of Sisara, captain of the army of Hasor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them. + +** I Samuel 12:10 + +But afterwards they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Astaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. + +** I Samuel 12:11 + +And the Lord sent Jerobaal, and Badan, and Jephte, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies round about, and you dwelt securely. + +** I Samuel 12:12 + +But seeing that Naas, king of the children of Ammon, was come against you, you said to me: Nay, but a king shall reign over us: whereas the Lord your God was your king. + +** I Samuel 12:13 + +Now, therefore, your king is here, whom you have chosen and desired: Behold the Lord hath given you a king. + +** I Samuel 12:14 + +If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord: then shall both you, and the king who reigneth over you, be followers of the Lord your God. + +** I Samuel 12:15 + +But if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but will rebel against his words, the hand of the Lord shall be upon you, and upon your fathers. + +** I Samuel 12:16 + +Now then stand, and see this great thing which the Lord will do in your sight. + +** I Samuel 12:17 + +Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain: and you shall know, and see that you yourselves have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, in desiring a king over you. + +** I Samuel 12:18 + +And Samuel cried unto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day. + +** I Samuel 12:19 + +And all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king. + +** I Samuel 12:20 + +And Samuel said to the people: Fear not, you have done all this evil: but yet depart not from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. + +** I Samuel 12:21 + +And turn not aside after vain things, which shall never profit you, nor deliver you, because they are vain. + +** I Samuel 12:22 + +And the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because the Lord hath sworn to make you his people. + +** I Samuel 12:23 + +And far from me be this sin against the Lord, that I should cease to pray for you: and I will teach you the good and right way. + +** I Samuel 12:24 + +Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in truth, and with your whole heart, for you have seen the great works which he hath done among you. + +** I Samuel 12:25 + +But if you will still do wickedly: both you and your king shall perish together. + +* I Samuel 13 + +** I Samuel 13:1 + +Saul was a child of one year when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel. + +** I Samuel 13:2 + +And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings. + +** I Samuel 13:3 + +And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines which was in Gabaa. And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear. + +** I Samuel 13:4 + +And all Israel heard this report: Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines: and Israel took courage against the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Galgal. + +** I Samuel 13:5 + +The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the seashore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas, at the east of Bethaven. + +** I Samuel 13:6 + +And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened (for the people were distressed), they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits. + +** I Samuel 13:7 + +And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid. + +** I Samuel 13:8 + +And he waited seven days, according to the appointment of Samuel, and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him. + +** I Samuel 13:9 + +Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust. + +** I Samuel 13:10 + +And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him. + +** I Samuel 13:11 + +And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas, + +** I Samuel 13:12 + +I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust. + +** I Samuel 13:13 + +And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever: + +** I Samuel 13:14 + +But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded. + +** I Samuel 13:15 + +And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa, in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men. + +** I Samuel 13:16 + +And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: But the Philistines encamped in Machmas. + +** I Samuel 13:17 + +And there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual; + +** I Samuel 13:18 + +And another went by the way of Bethoron, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards the desert. + +** I Samuel 13:19 + +Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears. + +** I Samuel 13:20 + +So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake. + +** I Samuel 13:21 + +So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes, were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended. + +** I Samuel 13:22 + +And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son. + +** I Samuel 13:23 + +And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas. + +* I Samuel 14 + +** I Samuel 14:1 + +Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father. + +** I Samuel 14:2 + +And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa, under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men. + +** I Samuel 14:3 + +And Achias, the son of Achitob, brother of Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone. + +** I Samuel 14:4 + +Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene: + +** I Samuel 14:5 + +One rock stood out toward the north, over against Machmas, and the other to the south, over against Gabaa. + +** I Samuel 14:6 + +And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us: because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few. + +** I Samuel 14:7 + +And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind. + +** I Samuel 14:8 + +And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them, + +** I Samuel 14:9 + +If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them. + +** I Samuel 14:10 + +But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us. + +** I Samuel 14:11 + +So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid. + +** I Samuel 14:12 + +And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel. + +** I Samuel 14:13 + +And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him. + +** I Samuel 14:14 + +And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day. + +** I Samuel 14:15 + +And there was a miracle in the camp, in the fields: and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God. + +** I Samuel 14:16 + +And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that. + +** I Samuel 14:17 + +And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there. + +** I Samuel 14:18 + +And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.) + +** I Samuel 14:19 + +And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand. + +** I Samuel 14:20 + +Then Saul, and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter. + +** I Samuel 14:21 + +Moreover, the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan. + +** I Samuel 14:22 + +And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men. + +** I Samuel 14:23 + +And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven. + +** I Samuel 14:24 + +And the men of Israel were joined together that day: and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food. + +** I Samuel 14:25 + +And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground. + +** I Samuel 14:26 + +And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath. + +** I Samuel 14:27 + +But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened. + +** I Samuel 14:28 + +And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.) + +** I Samuel 14:29 + +And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey: + +** I Samuel 14:30 + +How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines? + +** I Samuel 14:31 + +So they smote that day the Philistines, from Machmas to Aialon. And the people were wearied exceedingly. + +** I Samuel 14:32 + +And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood. + +** I Samuel 14:33 + +And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone. + +** I Samuel 14:34 + +And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord, in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there. + +** I Samuel 14:35 + +And Saul built an altar to the Lord: and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord. + +** I Samuel 14:36 + +And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God. + +** I Samuel 14:37 + +And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day. + +** I Samuel 14:38 + +And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened to day. + +** I Samuel 14:39 + +As the Lord liveth, who is the Saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan, my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsayed him. + +** I Samuel 14:40 + +And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side and I, with Jonathan, my son, will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes. + +** I Samuel 14:41 + +And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day: If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped. + +** I Samuel 14:42 + +And Saul said: (Cast lots between me, and Jonathan, my son. And Jonathan was taken. + +** I Samuel 14:43 + +And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die. + +** I Samuel 14:44 + +And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan. + +** I Samuel 14:45 + +And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? this must not be: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die. + +** I Samuel 14:46 + +And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places. + +** I Samuel 14:47 + +And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame. + +** I Samuel 14:48 + +And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them. + +** I Samuel 14:49 + +And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol. + +** I Samuel 14:50 + +And the name of Saul's wife was Achinoam, the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul. + +** I Samuel 14:51 + +For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, was son of Abiel. + +** I Samuel 14:52 + +And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself. + +* I Samuel 15 + +** I Samuel 15:1 + +And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his people Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord: + +** I Samuel 15:2 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt. + +** I Samuel 15:3 + +Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet anything that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. + +** I Samuel 15:4 + +So Saul commanded the people, and numbered them as lambs: two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand of the men of Juda. + +** I Samuel 15:5 + +And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent. + +** I Samuel 15:6 + +And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart, and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec. + +** I Samuel 15:7 + +And Saul smote Amalec from Hevila, until thou comest to Sur, which is over against Egypt. + +** I Samuel 15:8 + +And he took Agag, the king of Amalec, alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword. + +** I Samuel 15:9 + +And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the flocks of sheep, and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile, and good for nothing, that they destroyed. + +** I Samuel 15:10 + +And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, + +** I Samuel 15:11 + +It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night. + +** I Samuel 15:12 + +And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, out of the choicest of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalec. + +** I Samuel 15:13 + +And when Samuel was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord. + +** I Samuel 15:14 + +And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear? + +** I Samuel 15:15 + +And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds, that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain. + +** I Samuel 15:16 + +And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak. + +** I Samuel 15:17 + +And Samuel said: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel. + +** I Samuel 15:18 + +And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them. + +** I Samuel 15:19 + +Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord? + +** I Samuel 15:20 + +And Saul said to Samuel: Yea, I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag, the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain. + +** I Samuel 15:21 + +But the people took of the spoils, sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal. + +** I Samuel 15:22 + +And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat or rams. + +** I Samuel 15:23 + +Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch, therefore, as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king. + +** I Samuel 15:24 + +And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned, because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice. + +** I Samuel 15:25 + +But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord. + +** I Samuel 15:26 + +And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hath rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. + +** I Samuel 15:27 + +And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. + +** I Samuel 15:28 + +And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee. + +** I Samuel 15:29 + +But the triumpher in Israel will not spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a man that he should repent. + +** I Samuel 15:30 + +Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God. + +** I Samuel 15:31 + +So Samuel turned again after Saul: and Saul adored the Lord. + +** I Samuel 15:32 + +And Samuel said: Bring hither to me Agag, the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner? + +** I Samuel 15:33 + +And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal. + +** I Samuel 15:34 + +And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa. + +** I Samuel 15:35 + +And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel. + +* I Samuel 16 + +** I Samuel 16:1 + +And the Lord said to Samuel: How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, whom I have rejected from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai, the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. + +** I Samuel 16:2 + +And Samuel said: How shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt say: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. + +** I Samuel 16:3 + +And thou shalt call Isai to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou art to do, and thou shalt anoint him whom I shall shew to thee. + +** I Samuel 16:4 + +Then Samuel did as the Lord had said to him. And he came to Bethlehem, and the ancients of the city wondered, and meeting him, they said: Is thy coming hither peaceable? + +** I Samuel 16:5 + +And he said: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. + +** I Samuel 16:6 + +And when they were come in, he saw Eliab, and said: Is the Lord's anointed before him? + +** I Samuel 16:7 + +And the Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature: because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man seeth those things that appear, but the Lord beholdeth the heart. + +** I Samuel 16:8 + +And Isai called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel. And he said: Neither hath the Lord chosen this, + +** I Samuel 16:9 + +And Isai brought Samma, and he said of him: Neither hath the Lord chosen this. + +** I Samuel 16:10 + +Isai therefore brought his seven sons before Samuel: and Samuel said to Isai: The Lord hath not chosen any one of these. + +** I Samuel 16:11 + +And Samuel said to Isai: Are here all thy sons? He answered: There remaineth yet a young one, who keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Isai: Send, and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. + +** I Samuel 16:12 + +He sent therefore and brought him. Now he was ruddy and beautiful to behold, and of a comely face. And the Lord said: Arise, and anoint him, for this is he. + +** I Samuel 16:13 + +Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel rose up, and went to Ramatha. + +** I Samuel 16:14 + +But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. + +** I Samuel 16:15 + +And the servants of Saul said to him: Behold now an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. + +** I Samuel 16:16 + +Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee, will seek out a man skilful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayst bear it more easily. + +** I Samuel 16:17 + +And Saul said to his servants: Provide me then some man that can play well, and bring him to me. + +** I Samuel 16:18 + +And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai, the Bethlehemite, a skilful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: and the Lord is with him. + +** I Samuel 16:19 + +Then Saul sent messengers to Isai, saying: Send me David, thy son, who is in the pastures. + +** I Samuel 16:20 + +And Isai took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid of the flock, and sent them by the hand of David, his son, to Saul. + +** I Samuel 16:21 + +And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him exceedingly, and made him his armourbearer. + +** I Samuel 16:22 + +And Saul sent to Isai, saying: Let David stand before me: for he hath found favour in my sight. + +** I Samuel 16:23 + +So whensoever the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, David took his harp, and played with his hand, and Saul was refreshed, and was better, for the evil spirit departed from him. + +* I Samuel 17 + +** I Samuel 17:1 + +Now the Philistines gathering together their troops to battle, assembled at Socho of Juda: and camped between Socho and Azeca, in the borders of Dommim. + +** I Samuel 17:2 + +And Saul and the children of Israel being gathered together, came to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 17:3 + +And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. + +** I Samuel 17:4 + +And there went out a man baseborn from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Geth, whose height was six cubits and a span: + +** I Samuel 17:5 + +And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass: + +** I Samuel 17:6 + +And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders. + +** I Samuel 17:7 + +And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him. + +** I Samuel 17:8 + +And standing, he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand. + +** I Samuel 17:9 + +If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us. + +** I Samuel 17:10 + +And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand. + +** I Samuel 17:11 + +And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine, were dismayed, and greatly afraid. + +** I Samuel 17:12 + +Now David was the son of that Ephrathite, of Bethlehem Juda, before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men. + +** I Samuel 17:13 + +And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Samma: + +** I Samuel 17:14 + +But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul, + +** I Samuel 17:15 + +David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father's flock at Bethlehem. + +** I Samuel 17:16 + +Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. + +** I Samuel 17:17 + +And Isai said to David, his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren, + +** I Samuel 17:18 + +And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed. + +** I Samuel 17:19 + +But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel, were in the valley of Terebinth, fighting against the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 17:20 + +David, therefore, arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded, as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle. + +** I Samuel 17:21 + +For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared. + +** I Samuel 17:22 + +And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle, and asked if all things went well with his brethren. + +** I Samuel 17:23 + +And as he talked with them, that baseborn man, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them, + +** I Samuel 17:24 + +And all the Israelites, when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly. + +** I Samuel 17:25 + +And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel. + +** I Samuel 17:26 + +And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? + +** I Samuel 17:27 + +And the people answered him the same words, saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him. + +** I Samuel 17:28 + +Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why camest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle. + +** I Samuel 17:29 + +And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak? + +** I Samuel 17:30 + +And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before. + +** I Samuel 17:31 + +And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul. + +** I Samuel 17:32 + +And when he was brought to Saul, he said to him. Let not any man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine. + +** I Samuel 17:33 + +And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth. + +** I Samuel 17:34 + +And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock: + +** I Samuel 17:35 + +And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled, and killed them. + +** I Samuel 17:36 + +For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God? + +** I Samuel 17:37 + +And David said: The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with thee. + +** I Samuel 17:38 + +And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail. + +** I Samuel 17:39 + +And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off, + +** I Samuel 17:40 + +And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine. + +** I Samuel 17:41 + +And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer went before him. + +** I Samuel 17:42 + +And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance. + +** I Samuel 17:43 + +And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. + +** I Samuel 17:44 + +And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth. + +** I Samuel 17:45 + +And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied + +** I Samuel 17:46 + +This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. + +** I Samuel 17:47 + +And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands. + +** I Samuel 17:48 + +And when the Philistine arose, and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine. + +** I Samuel 17:49 + +And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about, struck the Philistine in the forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth. + +** I Samuel 17:50 + +And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand, + +** I Samuel 17:51 + +He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away. + +** I Samuel 17:52 + +And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron. + +** I Samuel 17:53 + +And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp. + +** I Samuel 17:54 + +And David taking the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent. + +** I Samuel 17:55 + +Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not. + +** I Samuel 17:56 + +And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this young man is. + +** I Samuel 17:57 + +And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand. + +** I Samuel 17:58 + +And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou? And David said: I am the son of thy servant Isai the Bethlehemite. + +* I Samuel 18 + +** I Samuel 18:1 + +And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the son of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. + +** I Samuel 18:2 + +And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house. + +** I Samuel 18:3 + +And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for he loved him as his own soul. + +** I Samuel 18:4 + +And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. + +** I Samuel 18:5 + +And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul's servants. + +** I Samuel 18:6 + +Now when David returned, after he slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets. + +** I Samuel 18:7 + +And the women sung as they played, and they said: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands. + +** I Samuel 18:8 + +And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand, what can he have more but the kingdom? + +** I Samuel 18:9 + +And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward. + +** I Samuel 18:10 + +And the day after, the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand, + +** I Samuel 18:11 + +And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice. + +** I Samuel 18:12 + +And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul himself. + +** I Samuel 18:13 + +Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people. + +** I Samuel 18:14 + +And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. + +** I Samuel 18:15 + +And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him. + +** I Samuel 18:16 + +But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them. + +** I Samuel 18:17 + +And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him. + +** I Samuel 18:18 + +And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king? + +** I Samuel 18:19 + +And it came to pass at the time when Merob, the daughter of Saul, should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel, the Molathite, to wife. + +** I Samuel 18:20 + +But Michol, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him. + +** I Samuel 18:21 + +And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day. + +** I Samuel 18:22 + +And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold, thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now, therefore be the king's son in law. + +** I Samuel 18:23 + +And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ear of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king's son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability. + +** I Samuel 18:24 + +And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken. + +** I Samuel 18:25 + +And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 18:26 + +And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law. + +** I Samuel 18:27 + +And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol, his daughter, to wife. + +** I Samuel 18:28 + +And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol, the daughter of Saul, loved him. + +** I Samuel 18:29 + +And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David's enemy continually. + +** I Samuel 18:30 + +And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous. + +* I Samuel 19 + +** I Samuel 19:1 + +And Saul spoke to Jonathan, his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David exceedingly. + +** I Samuel 19:2 + +And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul, my father, seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning and thou shalt abide in a secret place, and shalt be hid. + +** I Samuel 19:3 + +And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee. + +** I Samuel 19:4 + +And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul, his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee. + +** I Samuel 19:5 + +And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood, by killing David, who is without fault? + +** I Samuel 19:6 + +And when Saul heard this, he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain. + +** I Samuel 19:7 + +Then Jonathan called David, and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before. + +** I Samuel 19:8 + +And the war began again, and David went out, and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face. + +** I Samuel 19:9 + +And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul; and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand. + +** I Samuel 19:10 + +And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled, and escaped that night. + +** I Samuel 19:11 + +Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol, David's wife, had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die: + +** I Samuel 19:12 + +She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away, and escaped. + +** I Samuel 19:13 + +And Michol took an image, and laid it on the bed, and put a goat's skin, with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes. + +** I Samuel 19:14 + +And Saul sent officers to seize David; and it was answered that he was sick. + +** I Samuel 19:15 + +And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain. + +** I Samuel 19:16 + +And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat skin at his head. + +** I Samuel 19:17 + +And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee. + +** I Samuel 19:18 + +But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth. + +** I Samuel 19:19 + +And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth, in Ramatha. + +** I Samuel 19:20 + +So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy. + +** I Samuel 19:21 + +And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceeding angry, + +** I Samuel 19:22 + +Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they are in Najoth, in Ramatha. + +** I Samuel 19:23 + +And he went to Najoth, in Ramatha, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth, in Ramatha. + +** I Samuel 19:24 + +And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets? + +* I Samuel 20 + +** I Samuel 20:1 + +But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life? + +** I Samuel 20:2 + +And he said to him: (God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing, great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be. + +** I Samuel 20:3 + +And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death. + +** I Samuel 20:4 + +And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee. + +** I Samuel 20:5 + +And David said to Jonathan: Behold to morrow is the new moon, and I, according to custom, am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day. + +** I Samuel 20:6 + +If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem, his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all of his tribe. + +** I Samuel 20:7 + +If he shall say: It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height. + +** I Samuel 20:8 + +Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me, thy servant, into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father. + +** I Samuel 20:9 + +And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee. + +** I Samuel 20:10 + +And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me? + +** I Samuel 20:11 + +And Jonathan said to David: Come, and let us go out into the field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field, + +** I Samuel 20:12 + +Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father's mind, to morrow, or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee, + +** I Samuel 20:13 + +May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan, and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayst go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father. + +** I Samuel 20:14 + +And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die, + +** I Samuel 20:15 + +Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies. + +** I Samuel 20:16 + +Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David's enemies. + +** I Samuel 20:17 + +And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul. + +** I Samuel 20:18 + +And Jonathan said to him: To morrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed: + +** I Samuel 20:19 + +For thy seat will be empty till after to morrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou must he hid, on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel. + +** I Samuel 20:20 + +And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark. + +** I Samuel 20:21 + +And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows. + +** I Samuel 20:22 + +If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away. + +** I Samuel 20:23 + +And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me forever. + +** I Samuel 20:24 + +So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread. + +** I Samuel 20:25 + +And when the king sat down upon his chair, (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place appeared empty. + +** I Samuel 20:26 + +And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified. + +** I Samuel 20:27 + +And when the second day after the new moon was come, David's place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan, his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday, nor to day? + +** I Samuel 20:28 + +And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem. + +** I Samuel 20:29 + +And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king's table. + +** I Samuel 20:30 + +Then Saul being angry against Jonathan, said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion, and to the confusion of thy shameless mother? + +** I Samuel 20:31 + +For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death. + +** I Samuel 20:32 + +And Jonathan answering Saul, his father, said: Why shall he die? What hath he done? + +** I Samuel 20:33 + +And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David. + +** I Samuel 20:34 + +So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion. + +** I Samuel 20:35 + +And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him. + +** I Samuel 20:36 + +And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy. + +** I Samuel 20:37 + +The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee. + +** I Samuel 20:38 + +And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master: + +** I Samuel 20:39 + +And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter. + +** I Samuel 20:40 + +Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city. + +** I Samuel 20:41 + +And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was toward the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together; but David more. + +** I Samuel 20:42 + +And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. + +** I Samuel 20:43 + +And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. + +* I Samuel 21 + +** I Samuel 21:1 + +And David came to Nobe, to Achimelech, the priest and Achimelech was astonished at David's coming. And he said to him: Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? + +** I Samuel 21:2 + +And David said to Achimelech, the priest: The king hath commanded me a business, and said: Let no man know the thing for which thou art sent by me, and what manner of commands I have given thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. + +** I Samuel 21:3 + +Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find. + +** I Samuel 21:4 + +And the priest answered David, saying: I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread, if the young men be clean, especially from women? + +** I Samuel 21:5 + +And David answered the priest, and said to him: Truly, as to what concerneth women, we have refrained ourselves from yesterday and the day before, when we came out, and the vessels of the young men were holy. Now this way is defiled, but it shall also be sanctified this day in the vessels. + +** I Samuel 21:6 + +The priest therefore gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there, but only the loaves of proposition, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, that hot loaves might be set up. + +** I Samuel 21:7 + +Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, within the tabernacle of the Lord: and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of Saul's herdsmen. + +** I Samuel 21:8 + +And David said to Achimelech: Hast thou here at hand a spear, or a sword? for I brought not my own sword, nor my own weapons with me, for the king's business required haste. + +** I Samuel 21:9 + +And the priest said: Lo, here is the sword of Goliath, the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Terebinth, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take this, take it, for here there is no other but this. And David said: There is none like that, give it me. + +** I Samuel 21:10 + +And David arose and fled that day from the face of Saul: and came to Achis, the king of Geth: + +** I Samuel 21:11 + +And the servants of Achis, when they saw David, said to him: Is not this David, the king of the land? Did they not sing to him in their dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? + +** I Samuel 21:12 + +But David laid up these words in his heart, and was exceedingly afraid at the face of Achis, the king of Geth. + +** I Samuel 21:13 + +And he changed his countenance before them, and slipt down between their hands: and he stumbled against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard. + +** I Samuel 21:14 + +And Achis said to his servants: You saw the man was mad: why have you brought him to me? + +** I Samuel 21:15 + +Have we need of mad men, that you have brought in this fellow, to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house? + +* I Samuel 22 + +** I Samuel 22:1 + +David therefore went from thence, and fled to the cave of Odollam. And when his brethren, and all his father's house, had heard of it, they went down to him thither. + +** I Samuel 22:2 + +And all that were in distress, and oppressed with debt, and under affliction of mind, gathered themselves unto him: and he became their prince, and there were with him about four hundred men. + +** I Samuel 22:3 + +And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me. + +** I Samuel 22:4 + +And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold. + +** I Samuel 22:5 + +And Gad the prophet said to David: Abide not in the hold, depart, and go into the land of Juda. And David departed, and came into the forest of Haret. + +** I Samuel 22:6 + +And SauI heard that David was seen, and the men that were with him. Now whilst Saul abode in Gabaa, and was in the wood, which is by Rama, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him, + +** I Samuel 22:7 + +He said to his servants that stood about him: Hear me now, ye sons of Jemini: will the son of Isai give every one of you fields, and vineyards, and make you all tribunes, and centurions: + +** I Samuel 22:8 + +That all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son hath entered into league with the son of Isai? There is not one of you that pitieth my case, nor that giveth me any information: because my son hath raised up my servant against me, plotting against me to this day. + +** I Samuel 22:9 + +And Doeg, the Edomite, who stood by, and was the chief among the servants of Saul, answering, said: I saw the son of Isai, in Nobe, with Achimelech, the son of Achitob, the priest. + +** I Samuel 22:10 + +And he consulted the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath, the Philistine. + +** I Samuel 22:11 + +Then the king sent to call for Achimelech, the priest, the son of Achitob, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king. + +** I Samuel 22:12 + +And Saul said to Achimelech: Hear, thou son of Achitob. He answered: Here I am, my lord. + +** I Samuel 22:13 + +And Saul said to him: Why have you conspired against me, thou, and the son of Isai, and thou hast given him bread and a sword, and hast consulted the Lord for him, that he should rise up against me, continuing a traitor to this day. + +** I Samuel 22:14 + +And Achimelech answering the king, said: And who amongst all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son in law, and goeth forth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house? + +** I Samuel 22:15 + +Did I begin to day to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father's house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great. + +** I Samuel 22:16 + +And the king said: Dying thou shalt die, Achimelech, thou and all thy father's house. + +** I Samuel 22:17 + +And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king's servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord. + +** I Samuel 22:18 + +And the king said to Doeg: Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg, the Edomite, turned, and fell upon the priests, and slew in that day eighty-five men that wore the linen ephod. + +** I Samuel 22:19 + +And Nobe, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and ox, and ass, and sheep, with the edge of the sword. + +** I Samuel 22:20 + +But one of the sons of Achimelech, the son of Achitob, whose name was Abiathar, escaped, and fled to David, + +** I Samuel 22:21 + +And told him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord. + +** I Samuel 22:22 + +And David said to Abiathar: I knew that day when Doeg, the Edomite, was there, that without doubt he would tell Saul: I have been the occasion of the death of all the souls of thy father's house. + +** I Samuel 22:23 + +Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy life also, and with me thou shalt be saved. + +* I Samuel 23 + +** I Samuel 23:1 + +And they told David, saying: Behold the Philistines fight against Ceila, and they rob the barns. + +** I Samuel 23:2 + +Therefore David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said to David: Go, and thou shalt smite the Philistines, and shalt save Ceila. + +** I Samuel 23:3 + +And the men that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the bands of the Philistines? + +** I Samuel 23:4 + +Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand. + +** I Samuel 23:5 + +David, therefore, and his men, went to Ceila, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter of them: and David saved the inhabitants of Ceila. + +** I Samuel 23:6 + +Now at that time, when Abiathar, the son of Achimelech, fled to David, to Ceila, he came down, having an ephod with him. + +** I Samuel 23:7 + +And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city that hath gates and bars. + +** I Samuel 23:8 + +And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David and his men. + +** I Samuel 23:9 + +Now when David understood that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest: Bring hither the ephod. + +** I Samuel 23:10 + +And David said: O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake: + +** I Samuel 23:11 + +Will the men of Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come down. + +** I Samuel 23:12 + +And David said: Will the men of Ceila deliver me and my men into the hands of Saul? And the Lord said: They will deliver thee up. + +** I Samuel 23:13 + +Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down, uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out. + +** I Samuel 23:14 + +But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands. + +** I Samuel 23:15 + +And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood. + +** I Samuel 23:16 + +And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose, and went to David, into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him: + +** I Samuel 23:17 + +Fear not: for the hand of my father, Saul, shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; yea and my father knoweth this. + +** I Samuel 23:18 + +And they two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house. + +** I Samuel 23:19 + +And the Ziphites went up to Saul, in Gabaa, saying: Lo, doth not David lie hid with us in the strong holds of the wood, in mount Hachila, which is on the right hand of the desert. + +** I Samuel 23:20 + +Now therefore come down, as thy soul hath desired to come down: and it shall be our business to deliver him into the king's hands. + +** I Samuel 23:21 + +And Saul said: Blessed be ye of the Lord, for you have pitied my case. + +** I Samuel 23:22 + +Go, therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him. + +** I Samuel 23:23 + +Consider, and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is hid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if he should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda. + +** I Samuel 23:24 + +And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon. + +** I Samuel 23:25 + +Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. + +** I Samuel 23:26 + +And Saul went on this side of the mountain: and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about, to take them. + +** I Samuel 23:27 + +And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land. + +** I Samuel 23:28 + +Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place the rock of division. + +* I Samuel 24 + +** I Samuel 24:1 + +Then David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds of Engaddi. + +** I Samuel 24:2 + +And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi. + +** I Samuel 24:3 + +Saul, therefore, took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went out to seek after David and his men, even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats. + +** I Samuel 24:4 + +And he came to the sheepcotes which were in his way. And there was a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay hid in the inner part of the cave. + +** I Samuel 24:5 + +And the servants of David said to him: Behold the day, of which the Lord said to thee: I will deliver thy enemy unto thee, that thou mayst do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the hem of Saul's robe. + +** I Samuel 24:6 + +After which David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the hem of Saul's robe. + +** I Samuel 24:7 + +And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed. + +** I Samuel 24:8 + +And David stopped his men with his words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul: but Saul, rising up out of the cave, went on his way. + +** I Samuel 24:9 + +And David also rose up after him: and going out of the cave, cried after Saul, saying: My lord the king. And Saul looked behind him: and David bowing himself down to the ground, worshipped, + +** I Samuel 24:10 + +And said to Saul: Why dost thou hear the words of men that say: David seeketh thy hurt? + +** I Samuel 24:11 + +Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord's anointed. + +** I Samuel 24:12 + +Moreover, see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my hand, that when I cut off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand, nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait for my life, to take it away. + +** I Samuel 24:13 + +The Lord judge between me and thee and the Lord revenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee. + +** I Samuel 24:14 + +As also it is said in the old proverb: From the wicked shall wickedness come forth: therefore my hand shall not be upon thee. After whom dost thou come out, O king of Israel? + +** I Samuel 24:15 + +After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, after a flea. + +** I Samuel 24:16 + +Be the Lord judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and judge my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand. + +** I Samuel 24:17 + +And when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept: + +** I Samuel 24:18 + +And he said to David: Thou art more just than I: for thou hast done good to me, and I have rewarded thee with evil. + +** I Samuel 24:19 + +And thou hast shewed this day what good things thou hast done to me: how the Lord delivered me into thy hand, and thou hast not killed me. + +** I Samuel 24:20 + +For who when he hath found his enemy, will let him go well away? But the Lord reward thee for this good turn, for what thou hast done to me this day. + +** I Samuel 24:21 + +And now as I know that thou shalt surely be king, and have the kingdom of Israel in thy hand: + +** I Samuel 24:22 + +Swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me, nor take away my name from the house of my father. + +** I Samuel 24:23 + +And David swore to Saul. So Saul went home: and David and his men went up into safer places. + +* I Samuel 25 + +** I Samuel 25:1 + +And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose, and went down into the wilderness of Pharan. + +** I Samuel 25:2 + +Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. + +** I Samuel 25:3 + +Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman: but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb. + +** I Samuel 25:4 + +And when David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal was shearing his sheep, + +** I Samuel 25:5 + +He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace. + +** I Samuel 25:6 + +And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast. + +** I Samuel 25:7 + +I have heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel. + +** I Samuel 25:8 + +Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David. + +** I Samuel 25:9 + +And when David's servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David's name, and then held their peace. + +** I Samuel 25:10 + +But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now days who flee from their masters. + +** I Samuel 25:11 + +Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are? + +** I Samuel 25:12 + +So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said. + +** I Samuel 25:13 + +Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men, and two hundred remained with the baggage. + +** I Samuel 25:14 + +But one of the servants told, Abigail, the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them. + +** I Samuel 25:15 + +These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: Neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert. + +** I Samuel 25:16 + +They were a wall unto us, both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. + +** I Samuel 25:17 + +Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him. + +** I Samuel 25:18 + +Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses: + +** I Samuel 25:19 + +And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold, I will follow after you: but she told not her husband, Nabal. + +** I Samuel 25:20 + +And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them. + +** I Samuel 25:21 + +And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this fellow in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good. + +** I Samuel 25:22 + +May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall. + +** I Samuel 25:23 + +And when Abigail saw David, she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground. + +** I Samuel 25:24 + +And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears, and hear the words of thy servant. + +** I Samuel 25:25 + +Let not my lord the king, I pray thee, regard this naughty man, Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I, thy handmaid, did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest. + +** I Samuel 25:26 + +Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord. + +** I Samuel 25:27 + +Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord. + +** I Samuel 25:28 + +Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life. + +** I Samuel 25:29 + +For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling. + +** I Samuel 25:30 + +And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel, + +** I Samuel 25:31 + +This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid. + +** I Samuel 25:32 + +And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech: + +** I Samuel 25:33 + +And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand. + +** I Samuel 25:34 + +Otherwise, as the Lord liveth, the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil, if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light, any that pisseth against the wall. + +** I Samuel 25:35 + +And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and honoured thy face. + +** I Samuel 25:36 + +And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king: and Nabal's heart was merry, for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning. + +** I Samuel 25:37 + +But early in the morning, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. + +** I Samuel 25:38 + +And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died. + +** I Samuel 25:39 + +And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife. + +** I Samuel 25:40 + +And David's servants came to Abigail, to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife. + +** I Samuel 25:41 + +And she arose, and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. + +** I Samuel 25:42 + +And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife. + +** I Samuel 25:43 + +Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives. + +** I Samuel 25:44 + +But Saul gave Michol, his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallim. + +* I Samuel 26 + +** I Samuel 26:1 + +And the men of Ziph came to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Behold David is hid in the hill of Hachila, which is over against the wilderness. + +** I Samuel 26:2 + +And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. + +** I Samuel 26:3 + +And Saul encamped in Gabaa Hachila, which was over against the wilderness in the way: and David abode in the wilderness. And seeing that Saul was come after him into the wilderness, + +** I Samuel 26:4 + +He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither. + +** I Samuel 26:5 + +And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him, + +** I Samuel 26:6 + +David spoke to Achimelech, the Hethite, and Abisai, the son of Sarvia, the brother of Joab, saying: Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp? And Abisai said: I will go with thee. + +** I Samuel 26:7 + +So David and Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying and sleeping in the tent, and his spear fixed in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people sleeping round about him. + +** I Samuel 26:8 + +And Abisai said to David: God hath shut up thy enemy this day into thy hands: now then I will run him through with my spear, even to the earth at once, and there shall be no need of a second time. + +** I Samuel 26:9 + +And David said to Abisai: Kill him not: for who shall put forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and shall be guiltless? + +** I Samuel 26:10 + +And David said: As the Lord liveth, unless the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down to battle, and perish: + +** I Samuel 26:11 + +The Lord be merciful unto me, and keep me that I never put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed. But now take the spear which is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go. + +** I Samuel 26:12 + +So David took the spear, and the cup of water which was at Saul's head, and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, or awaked, but they were all asleep, for a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them. + +** I Samuel 26:13 + +And when David was gone over to the other side, and stood on the top of the hill afar off, and a good space was between them, + +** I Samuel 26:14 + +David cried to the people, and to Abner, the son of Ner, saying: Wilt thou not answer, Abner? And Abner answering, said: Who art thou, that criest, and disturbest the king? + +** I Samuel 26:15 + +And David said to Abner: Art not thou a man? and who is like unto thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to kill the king thy lord. + +** I Samuel 26:16 + +This thing is not good, that thou hast done: as the Lord liveth, you are the sons of death, who have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And now where is the king's spear, and the cup of water, which was at his head? + +** I Samuel 26:17 + +And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king. + +** I Samuel 26:18 + +And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand? + +** I Samuel 26:19 + +Now therefore hear, I pray thee, my lord the king, the words of thy servant: If the Lord stir thee up against me, let him accept of sacrifice: but if the sons of men, they are cursed in the sight of the Lord, who have cast me out this day, that I should not dwell in the inheritance of the Lord, saying: Go, serve strange gods. + +** I Samuel 26:20 + +And now let not my blood be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted in the mountains. + +** I Samuel 26:21 + +And Saul said: I have sinned; return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things. + +** I Samuel 26:22 + +And David answering, said: Behold the king's spear: let one of the king's servants come over and fetch it. + +** I Samuel 26:23 + +And the Lord will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed. + +** I Samuel 26:24 + +And as thy life hath been much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me from all distress. + +** I Samuel 26:25 + +Then Saul said to David: Blessed art thou, my son David: and truly doing thou shalt do, and prevailing thou shalt prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. + +* I Samuel 27 + +** I Samuel 27:1 + +And David said in his heart: I shall one day or other fall into the hands of Saul: is it not better for me to flee, and to be saved in the land of the Philistines, that Saul may despair of me, and cease to seek me in all the coasts of Israel? I will flee then out of his hands. + +** I Samuel 27:2 + +And David arose, and went away, both he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achis, the son of Maoch, king of Geth. + +** I Samuel 27:3 + +And David dwelt with Achis at Geth, he and his men; every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Achinoam, the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. + +** I Samuel 27:4 + +And it was told Saul that David was fled to Geth, and he sought no more after him. + +** I Samuel 27:5 + +And David said to Achis: If I have found favour in thy sight, let a place be given me in one of the cities of this country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? + +** I Samuel 27:6 + +Then Achis gave him Siceleg that day: for which reason Siceleg belongeth to the kings of Juda unto this day. + +** I Samuel 27:7 + +And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines, was four months. + +** I Samuel 27:8 + +And David and his men went up, and pillaged Gessuri, and Gerzi, and the Amalecites: for these were of old the inhabitants of the countries, as men go to Sur, even to the land of Egypt. + +** I Samuel 27:9 + +And David wasted all the land, and left neither man nor woman alive: and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achis. + +** I Samuel 27:10 + +And Achis said to him: Whom hast thou gone against to day? David answered: Against the south of Juda, and against the south of Jerameel, and against the south of Ceni. + +** I Samuel 27:11 + +And David saved neither man nor woman, neither brought he any of them to Geth, saying: Lest they should speak against us. So did David, and such was his proceeding all the days that he dwelt in the country of the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 27:12 + +And Achis believed David, saying: He hath done much harm to his people Israel: Therefore he shall be my servant for ever. + +* I Samuel 28 + +** I Samuel 28:1 + +And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies, to be prepared for war against Israel: And Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men. + +** I Samuel 28:2 + +And David said to Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achis said to David: And I will appoint thee to guard my life for ever. + +** I Samuel 28:3 + +Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha, his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of the land. + +** I Samuel 28:4 + +And the Philistines were gathered together, and came and encamped in Sunam: and Saul also gathered together all Israel, and came to Gelboe. + +** I Samuel 28:5 + +And Saul saw the army of the Philistines, and was afraid, and his heart was very much dismayed. + +** I Samuel 28:6 + +And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets. + +** I Samuel 28:7 + +And Saul said to his servants: Seek me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath a divining spirit at Endor. + +** I Samuel 28:8 + +Then he disguised himself: and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night, and he said to her: Divine to me by thy divining spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall tell thee. + +** I Samuel 28:9 + +And the woman said to him: Behold thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to be put to death? + +** I Samuel 28:10 + +And Saul swore unto her by the Lord, saying: As the Lord liveth, there shall no evil happen to thee for this thing. + +** I Samuel 28:11 + +And the woman said to him: Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. + +** I Samuel 28:12 + +And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Saul: Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. + +** I Samuel 28:13 + +And the king said to her: Fear not: what hast thou seen? and the woman said to Saul: I saw gods ascending out of the earth. + +** I Samuel 28:14 + +And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored. + +** I Samuel 28:15 + +And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said: I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayst shew me what I shall do. + +** I Samuel 28:16 + +And Samuel said: Why askest thou me, seeing the Lord has departed from thee, and is gone over to thy rival? + +** I Samuel 28:17 + +For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David: + +** I Samuel 28:18 + +Because thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, neither didst thou execute the wrath of his indignation upon Amalec. Therefore hath the Lord done to thee what thou sufferest this day. + +** I Samuel 28:19 + +And the Lord also will deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines: and to morrow thou and thy sons shall be with me: and the Lord will also deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 28:20 + +And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground; for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day. + +** I Samuel 28:21 + +And the woman came to Saul, (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to me. + +** I Samuel 28:22 + +Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, that thou mayst eat and recover strength, and be able to go on thy journey. + +** I Samuel 28:23 + +But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground, and sat upon the bed. + +** I Samuel 28:24 + +Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she made haste and killed it: and taking meal, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread, + +** I Samuel 28:25 + +And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night. + +* I Samuel 29 + +** I Samuel 29:1 + +Now all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together to Aphec: and Israel also encamped by the fountain, which is in Jezrahel. + +** I Samuel 29:2 + +And the lords of the Philistines marched with their hundreds and their thousands: but David and his men were in the rear with Achis. + +** I Samuel 29:3 + +And the princes of the Philistines said to Achis: What mean these Hebrews? And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines: Do you not know David who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and hath been with me many days, or years, and I have found no fault in him, since the day that he fled over to me until this day? + +** I Samuel 29:4 + +But the prices of the Philistines were angry with him, and they said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he otherwise appease his master, but with our heads? + +** I Samuel 29:5 + +Is not this David, to whom they sung in their dances, saying: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? + +** I Samuel 29:6 + +Then Achis called David, and said to him: As the Lord liveth, thou art upright and good in my sight: and so is thy going out, and thy coming in with me in the army: and I have not found any evil in thee, since the day that thou camest to me unto this day: but thou pleasest not the lords. + +** I Samuel 29:7 + +Return therefore, and go in peace, and offend not the eyes of the princes of the Philistines. + +** I Samuel 29:8 + +And David said to Achis: But what have I done, or what hast thou found in me thy servant, from the day that I have been in thy sight until this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king? + +** I Samuel 29:9 + +And Achis answering, said to David: I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: But the princes of the Philistines have said: He shall not go up with us to the battle. + +** I Samuel 29:10 + +Therefore arise in the morning, thou, and the servants of thy lord, who came with thee: and when you are up before day, and it shall begin to be light, go on your way. + +** I Samuel 29:11 + +So David and his men arose in the night, that they might set forward in the morning, and returned to the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrahel. + +* I Samuel 30 + +** I Samuel 30:1 + +Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire, + +** I Samuel 30:2 + +And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way. + +** I Samuel 30:3 + +So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives, + +** I Samuel 30:4 + +David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears. + +** I Samuel 30:5 + +For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam, the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. + +** I Samuel 30:6 + +And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God. + +** I Samuel 30:7 + +And he said to Abiathar, the priest, the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod.

Whosoever shall pray in its place, hear thou from thy dwelling place, that is, from heaven, and shew mercy. + +** II Chronicles 6:22 + +If any man sin against his neighbour, and come to swear against him, and bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house: + +** II Chronicles 6:23 + +Then hear thou from heaven, and do justice to thy servants, so to requite the wicked by making his wickedness fall upon his own head, and to revenge the just, rewarding him according to his justice. + +** II Chronicles 6:24 + +If thy people Israel be overcome by their enemies, (for they will sin against thee,) and being converted shall do penance, and call upon thy name, and pray to thee in this place, + +** II Chronicles 6:25 + +Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel and bring them back into the land which thou gavest to them, and their fathers. + +** II Chronicles 6:26 + +If the heavens be shut up, and there fall no rain by reason of the sin of the people, and they shall pray to thee in this place, and confess to thy name, and be converted from their sins, where thou dost afflict them, + +** II Chronicles 6:27 + +Then hear thou from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of thy servants and of thy people Israel and teach them the good way in which they may walk: and give rain to thy land which thou hast given to thy people to possess. + +** II Chronicles 6:28 + +If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence or blasting, or mildew, or locusts, or caterpillars: or if their enemies waste the country, and besiege the cities, whatsoever scourge or infirmity shall be upon them: + +** II Chronicles 6:29 + +Then if any of thy people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity shall pray, and shall spread forth his hands in this house, + +** II Chronicles 6:30 + +Hear thou from heaven, from thy high dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every one according to his ways, which thou knowest him to have in his heart: for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: + +** II Chronicles 6:31 + +That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers. + +** II Chronicles 6:32 + +If the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, come from a far country, for the sake of thy great name, and thy strong hand, and thy stretched out arm, and adore in this place: + +** II Chronicles 6:33 + +Hear thou from heaven thy firm dwelling place, and do all that which that stranger shall call upon thee for: that all the people of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee, as thy people Israel, and may know, that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built. + +** II Chronicles 6:34 + +If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by the way that thou shalt send them, and adore thee towards the way of this city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name: + +** II Chronicles 6:35 + +Then hear thou from heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and revenge them. + +** II Chronicles 6:36 + +And if they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them up to their enemies, and they lead them away captive to a land either afar off, or near at hand, + +** II Chronicles 6:37 + +And if they be converted in their heart in the land to which they were led captive, and do penance, and pray to thee in the land of their captivity saying: We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have dealt unjustly: + +** II Chronicles 6:38 + +And return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to which they were led away, and adore thee towards the way of their own land which thou gavest their fathers, and of the city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name: + +** II Chronicles 6:39 + +Then hear thou from heaven, that is, from thy firm dwelling place, their prayers, and do judgment, and forgive thy people, although they have sinned: + +** II Chronicles 6:40 + +For thou art my God: let thy eyes, I beseech thee, be open, and let thy ears be attentive to the prayer, that is made in this place. + +** II Chronicles 6:41 + +Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, put on salvation, and thy saints rejoice in good things. + +** II Chronicles 6:42 + +O Lord God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant. + +* II Chronicles 7 + +** II Chronicles 7:1 + +And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord filled the house. + +** II Chronicles 7:2 + +Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 7:3 + +Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. + +** II Chronicles 7:4 + +And the king and all the people sacrificed victims before the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 7:5 + +And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand rams: and the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. + +** II Chronicles 7:6 + +And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. + +** II Chronicles 7:7 + +Solomon also sanctified the middle of the court before the temple of the Lord: for he offered there the holocausts, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar, which he had made, could not hold the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat: + +** II Chronicles 7:8 + +And Solomon kept the solemnity at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Emath to the torrent of Egypt. + +** II Chronicles 7:9 + +And he made on the eighth day a solemn assembly, because he had kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and had celebrated the solemnity seven days. + +** II Chronicles 7:10 + +So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people. + +** II Chronicles 7:11 + +And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered. + +** II Chronicles 7:12 + +And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. + +** II Chronicles 7:13 + +If I shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people: + +** II Chronicles 7:14 + +And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. + +** II Chronicles 7:15 + +My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place. + +** II Chronicles 7:16 + +For I have chosen, and have sanctified this place, that my name may be there for ever, and my eyes and my heart may remain there perpetually. + +** II Chronicles 7:17 + +And as for thee, if thou walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and keep my justices and my judgments: + +** II Chronicles 7:18 + +I will raise up the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man of thy stock to be ruler in Israel. + +** II Chronicles 7:19 + +But if you turn away, and forsake my justices, and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve strange gods, and adore them, + +** II Chronicles 7:20 + +I will pluck you up by the root out of my land which I have given you: and this house which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast away from before my face, and will make it a byword, and an example among all nations. + +** II Chronicles 7:21 + +And this house shall be for a proverb to all that pass by, and they shall be astonished and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house? + +** II Chronicles 7:22 + +And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore all these evils are come upon them. + +* II Chronicles 8 + +** II Chronicles 8:1 + +And at the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house: + +** II Chronicles 8:2 + +He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. + +** II Chronicles 8:3 + +He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it. + +** II Chronicles 8:4 + +And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath. + +** II Chronicles 8:5 + +And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with gates and bars and locks. + +** II Chronicles 8:6 + +Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon's, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. + +** II Chronicles 8:7 + +All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock of Israel: + +** II Chronicles 8:8 + +Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto this day. + +** II Chronicles 8:9 + +But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king's works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen. + +** II Chronicles 8:10 + +And all the chief captains of king Solomon's army were two hundred and fifty, who taught the people. + +** II Chronicles 8:11 + +And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it. + +** II Chronicles 8:12 + +Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch, + +** II Chronicles 8:13 + +That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. + +** II Chronicles 8:14 + +And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded. + +** II Chronicles 8:15 + +And the priests and Levites departed not from the king's commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of the treasures. + +** II Chronicles 8:16 + +Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it. + +** II Chronicles 8:17 + +Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom. + +** II Chronicles 8:18 + +And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skilful mariners, and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon. + +* II Chronicles 9 + +** II Chronicles 9:1 + +And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart. + +** II Chronicles 9:2 + +And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her. + +** II Chronicles 9:3 + +And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built, + +** II Chronicles 9:4 + +And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished. + +** II Chronicles 9:5 + +And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom. + +** II Chronicles 9:6 + +I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues. + +** II Chronicles 9:7 + +Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom. + +** II Chronicles 9:8 + +Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them forever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice. + +** II Chronicles 9:9 + +And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon. + +** II Chronicles 9:10 + +And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones: + +** II Chronicles 9:11 + +And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda. + +** II Chronicles 9:12 + +And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants. + +** II Chronicles 9:13 + +And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold: + +** II Chronicles 9:14 + +Beside the sum which the deputies of divers nations, and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and all the kings of Arabia, and the lords of the lands, who brought gold and silver to Solomon. + +** II Chronicles 9:15 + +And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear: + +** II Chronicles 9:16 + +And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood. + +** II Chronicles 9:17 + +The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. + +** II Chronicles 9:18 + +And six steps to go up to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms one on either side, and two lions standing by the arms: + +** II Chronicles 9:19 + +Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom. + +** II Chronicles 9:20 + +And all the vessels of the king's table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days. + +** II Chronicles 9:21 + +For the king's ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks. + +** II Chronicles 9:22 + +And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory. + +** II Chronicles 9:23 + +And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart. + +** II Chronicles 9:24 + +And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules. + +** II Chronicles 9:25 + +And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots and where the king was in Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 9:26 + +And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt. + +** II Chronicles 9:27 + +And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains. + +** II Chronicles 9:28 + +And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries. + +** II Chronicles 9:29 + +Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the books of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat. + +** II Chronicles 9:30 + +And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. + +** II Chronicles 9:31 + +And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead. + +* II Chronicles 10 + +** II Chronicles 10:1 + +And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king. + +** II Chronicles 10:2 + +And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon,) heard it, forthwith he returned. + +** II Chronicles 10:3 + +And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying: + +** II Chronicles 10:4 + +Thy father oppressed with a most grievous yoke, do thou govern us with a lighter hand than thy father, who laid upon us a heavy servitude, and ease some thing of the burden, that we may serve thee. + +** II Chronicles 10:5 + +And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone, + +** II Chronicles 10:6 + +He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people? + +** II Chronicles 10:7 + +And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever. + +** II Chronicles 10:8 + +But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train. + +** II Chronicles 10:9 + +And he said to them: What seemeth good to you? or what shall I answer this people, who have said to me: Ease the yoke which thy father laid upon us? + +** II Chronicles 10:10 + +But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father. + +** II Chronicles 10:11 + +My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add more weight to it: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions. + +** II Chronicles 10:12 + +So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them. + +** II Chronicles 10:13 + +And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients. + +** II Chronicles 10:14 + +And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions. + +** II Chronicles 10:15 + +And he condescended not to the people's requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat. + +** II Chronicles 10:16 + +And all the people upon the king's speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings. + +** II Chronicles 10:17 + +But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda. + +** II Chronicles 10:18 + +And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to get up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 10:19 + +And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day. + +* II Chronicles 11 + +** II Chronicles 11:1 + +And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him. + +** II Chronicles 11:2 + +And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying: + +** II Chronicles 11:3 + +Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin: + +** II Chronicles 11:4 + +Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam, + +** II Chronicles 11:5 + +And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda. + +** II Chronicles 11:6 + +And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue, + +** II Chronicles 11:7 + +And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam, + +** II Chronicles 11:8 + +And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph, + +** II Chronicles 11:9 + +And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha, + +** II Chronicles 11:10 + +Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities. + +** II Chronicles 11:11 + +And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine. + +** II Chronicles 11:12 + +Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin, + +** II Chronicles 11:13 + +And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats, + +** II Chronicles 11:14 + +Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office to the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 11:15 + +And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. + +** II Chronicles 11:16 + +Moreover out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever gave their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel, came into Jerusalem to sacrifice their victims before the Lord the God of their fathers. + +** II Chronicles 11:17 + +And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years. + +** II Chronicles 11:18 + +And Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai. + +** II Chronicles 11:19 + +And they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom. + +** II Chronicles 11:20 + +And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia, and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith. + +** II Chronicles 11:21 + +And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he begot eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters. + +** II Chronicles 11:22 + +But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king, + +** II Chronicles 11:23 + +Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives. + +* II Chronicles 12 + +** II Chronicles 12:1 + +And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. + +** II Chronicles 12:2 + +And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord) + +** II Chronicles 12:3 + +With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians. + +** II Chronicles 12:4 + +And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 12:5 + +And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac. + +** II Chronicles 12:6 + +And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just. + +** II Chronicles 12:7 + +And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac. + +** II Chronicles 12:8 + +But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth. + +** II Chronicles 12:9 + +So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the king's house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made, + +** II Chronicles 12:10 + +Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace. + +** II Chronicles 12:11 + +And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury. + +** II Chronicles 12:12 + +But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works. + +** II Chronicles 12:13 + +King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess. + +** II Chronicles 12:14 + +But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 12:15 + +Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and

And he answered him: Thou art as I am, and my people as thy people, and we will be with thee in the war. + +** II Chronicles 18:4 + +And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, at present the word of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 18:5 + +So the king of Israel gathered together of the prophets four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall we forbear? But they said: Go up, and God will deliver into the king's hand. + +** II Chronicles 18:6 + +And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire also of him? + +** II Chronicles 18:7 + +And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man, of whom we may ask the will of the Lord: but I hate him, for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: and it is Micheas the son of Jemla. And Josaphat said: Speak not thus, O king. + +** II Chronicles 18:8 + +And the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: Call quickly Micheas the son of Jemla. + +** II Chronicles 18:9 + +Now the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, both sat on their thrones, clothed in royal robes, and they sat in the open court by the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them. + +** II Chronicles 18:10 + +And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made him horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it. + +** II Chronicles 18:11 + +And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the king's hand. + +** II Chronicles 18:12 + +And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak thou also good success. + +** II Chronicles 18:13 + +And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God shall say to me, that will I speak. + +** II Chronicles 18:14 + +So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear? And he answered him: Go up, for all shall succeed prosperously, and the enemies shall be delivered into your hands. + +** II Chronicles 18:15 + +And the king said: I adjure thee again and again to say nothing but the truth to me, in the name of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 18:16 + +Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let every man return to his own house in peace. + +** II Chronicles 18:17 + +And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee that this man would not prophesy me any good, but evil? + +** II Chronicles 18:18 + +Then he said: Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left, + +** II Chronicles 18:19 + +And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And when one spoke in this manner, and another otherwise: + +** II Chronicles 18:20 + +There came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means wilt thou deceive him? + +** II Chronicles 18:21 + +And he answered: I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive, and shalt prevail: go out, and do so. + +** II Chronicles 18:22 + +Now therefore behold the Lord hath put a spirit of lying in the mouth of all thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee. + +** II Chronicles 18:23 + +And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek and said: Which way went the spirit of the Lord from me, to speak to thee? + +** II Chronicles 18:24 + +And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself. + +** II Chronicles 18:25 + +And the king of Israel commanded, saying: Take Micheas, and carry him to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joas the son of Amelech, + +** II Chronicles 18:26 + +And say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in prison, and give him bread and water in a small quantity till I return in peace. + +** II Chronicles 18:27 + +And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people. + +** II Chronicles 18:28 + +So the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad. + +** II Chronicles 18:29 + +And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: I will change my dress, and so I will go to the battle, but put thou on thy own garments.

garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great. + +** II Chronicles 20:26 + +And on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that place the valley of Blessing until this day. + +** II Chronicles 20:27 + +And every man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem returned, and Josaphat at their head, into Jerusalem with great joy, because the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies. + +** II Chronicles 20:28 + +And they came into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets into the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 20:29 + +And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. + +** II Chronicles 20:30 + +And the kingdom of Josaphat was quiet, and God gave him peace round about. + +** II Chronicles 20:31 + +And Josaphat reigned over Juda, and he was five and thirty years old, when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi. + +** II Chronicles 20:32 + +And he walked in the way of his father Asa and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 20:33 + +But yet he took not away the high places, and the people had not yet turned their heart to the Lord the God of their fathers. + +** II Chronicles 20:34 + +But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, first and last, are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books of the kings of Israel. + +** II Chronicles 20:35 + +After these things Josaphat king of Juda made friendship with Ochozias king of Israel, whose works were very wicked. + +** II Chronicles 20:36 + +And he was partner with him in making ships, to go to Tharsis: and they made the ships in Asiongaber. + +** II Chronicles 20:37 + +And Eliezer the son of Dodau of Maresa prophesied to Josaphat, saying: Because thou hast made a league with Ochozias, the Lord hath destroyed thy works, and the ships are broken, and they could not go to Tharsis. + +* II Chronicles 21 + +** II Chronicles 21:1 + +And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead. + +** II Chronicles 21:2 + +And he had brethren the sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jahiel, and Zacharias, and Azaria, and Michael, and Saphatias, all these were the sons of Josaphat king of Juda. + +** II Chronicles 21:3 + +And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest. + +** II Chronicles 21:4 + +So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel. + +** II Chronicles 21:5 + +Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 21:6 + +And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 21:7 + +But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever. + +** II Chronicles 21:8 + +In those days Edom revolted, from being subject to Juda, and made themselves a king. + +** II Chronicles 21:9 + +And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry. + +** II Chronicles 21:10 + +However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers. + +** II Chronicles 21:11 + +Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress. + +** II Chronicles 21:12 + +And there was a letter brought him from Eliseus the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda, + +** II Chronicles 21:13 + +But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself, + +** II Chronicles 21:14 + +Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance. + +** II Chronicles 21:15 + +And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels, till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day. + +** II Chronicles 21:16 + +And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians. + +** II Chronicles 21:17 + +And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest. + +** II Chronicles 21:18 + +And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels. + +** II Chronicles 21:19 + +And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors. + +** II Chronicles 21:20 + +He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings. + +* II Chronicles 22 + +** II Chronicles 22:1 + +And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son king in his place: for the rovers of the Arabians, who had broke in upon the camp, had killed all that were his elder brothers. So Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda reigned. + +** II Chronicles 22:2 + +Ochozias was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri. + +** II Chronicles 22:3 + +He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother pushed him on to do wickedly. + +** II Chronicles 22:4 + +So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction. + +** II Chronicles 22:5 + +And he walked after their counsels. And he went with Joram the son of Achab king of Israel, to fight against Hazael king of Syria, at Ramoth Galaad: and the Syrians wounded Joram. + +** II Chronicles 22:6 + +And he returned to be healed in Jezrahel: for he received many wounds in the foresaid battle. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel where he lay sick. + +** II Chronicles 22:7 + +For it was the will of God against Ochozias that he should come to Joram: and when he was come should go out also against Jehu the son of Namsi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Achab. + +** II Chronicles 22:8 + +So when Jehu was rooting out the house of Achab, he found the princes of Juda, and the sons of the brethren of Ochozias, who served him, and he slew them. + +** II Chronicles 22:9 + +And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias. + +** II Chronicles 22:10 + +For Athalia his mother, seeing that her son was dead, rose up, and killed all the royal family of the house of Joram. + +** II Chronicles 22:11 + +But Josabeth the king's daughter took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedchamber: now Josabeth that hid him, was daughter of king Joram, wife of Joiada the high priest, and sister of Ochozias, and therefore Athalia did not kill him. + +** II Chronicles 22:12 + +And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, during which Athalia reigned over the land. + +* II Chronicles 23 + +** II Chronicles 23:1 + +And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them. + +** II Chronicles 23:2 + +And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 23:3 + +And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king's son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David. + +** II Chronicles 23:4 + +And this is the thing that you shall do: + +** II Chronicles 23:5 + +A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king's house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 23:6 + +And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 23:7 + +And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out. + +** II Chronicles 23:8 + +So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest had commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week. + +** II Chronicles 23:9 + +And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 23:10 + +And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king. + +** II Chronicles 23:11 + +And they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king. + +** II Chronicles 23:12 + +Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 23:13 + +And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason. + +** II Chronicles 23:14 + +And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 23:15 + +And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there. + +** II Chronicles 23:16 + +And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the lord. + +** II Chronicles 23:17 + +And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. + +** II Chronicles 23:18 + +And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David. + +** II Chronicles 23:19 + +He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in. + +** II Chronicles 23:20 + +And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king's house, and set him on the royal throne. + +** II Chronicles 23:21 + +And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword. + +* II Chronicles 24 + +** II Chronicles 24:1 + +Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee. + +** II Chronicles 24:2 + +And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest. + +** II Chronicles 24:3 + +And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters. + +** II Chronicles 24:4 + +After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 24:5 + +And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent. + +** II Chronicles 24:6 + +And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony? + +** II Chronicles 24:7 + +For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 24:8 + +And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside. + +** II Chronicles 24:9 + +And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert. + +** II Chronicles 24:10 + +And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going in they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled. + +** II Chronicles 24:11 + +And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money. + +** II Chronicles 24:12 + +And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling. + +** II Chronicles 24:13 + +And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm. + +** II Chronicles 24:14 + +And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada. + +** II Chronicles 24:15 + +But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old. + +** II Chronicles 24:16 + +And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house. + +** II Chronicles 24:17 + +And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them. + +** II Chronicles 24:18 + +And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin. + +** II Chronicles 24:19 + +And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them. + +** II Chronicles 24:20 + +The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you? + +** II Chronicles 24:21 + +And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king's commandment in the court of the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 24:22 + +And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it. + +** II Chronicles 24:23 + +And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus. + +** II Chronicles 24:24 + +And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments. + +** II Chronicles 24:25 + +And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. + +** II Chronicles 24:26 + +Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess. + +** II Chronicles 24:27 + +And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead. + +* II Chronicles 25 + +** II Chronicles 25:1 + +Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 25:2 + +And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart. + +** II Chronicles 25:3 + +And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father. + +** II Chronicles 25:4 + +But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. + +** II Chronicles 25:5 + +Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield. + +** II Chronicles 25:6 + +He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver. + +** II Chronicles 25:7 + +But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim: + +** II Chronicles 25:8 + +And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight. + +** II Chronicles 25:9 + +And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israel? and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this. + +** II Chronicles 25:10 + +Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country. + +** II Chronicles 25:11 + +And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand. + +** II Chronicles 25:12 + +And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces. + +** II Chronicles 25:13 + +But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil. + +** II Chronicles 25:14 + +But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them. + +** II Chronicles 25:15 + +Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand? + +** II Chronicles 25:16 + +And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king's counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel. + +** II Chronicles 25:17 + +Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another. + +** II Chronicles 25:18 + +But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle. + +** II Chronicles 25:19 + +Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee. + +** II Chronicles 25:20 + +Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord's will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom. + +** II Chronicles 25:21 + +So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda: + +** II Chronicles 25:22 + +And Juda fell before Israel, and they fled to their dwellings. + +** II Chronicles 25:23 + +And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son of Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits. + +** II Chronicles 25:24 + +And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king's house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria. + +** II Chronicles 25:25 + +And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years. + +** II Chronicles 25:26 + +Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. + +** II Chronicles 25:27 + +And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem.

For the resolution of doing this thing was taken suddenly. + +* II Chronicles 30 + +** II Chronicles 30:1 + +And Ezechias sent to all Israel and Juda: and he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasses, that they should come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel, + +** II Chronicles 30:2 + +For the king, taking counsel, and the princes, and all the assembly of Jerusalem, decreed to keep the phase the second month. + +** II Chronicles 30:3 + +For they could not keep it in its time; because there were not priests enough sanctified, and the people was not as yet gathered together to Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 30:4 + +And the thing pleased the king, and all the people. + +** II Chronicles 30:5 + +And they decreed to send messengers to all Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, that they should come, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel in Jerusalem: for many had not kept it as it is prescribed by the law. + +** II Chronicles 30:6 + +And the posts went with letters by commandment of the king, and his princes, to all Israel and Juda, proclaiming according to the king's orders: Ye children of Israel, turn again to the Lord the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel: and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped the hand of the king of the Assyrians. + +** II Chronicles 30:7 + +Be not like your fathers, and brethren, who departed from the Lord the God of their fathers, and he hath given them up to destruction, as you see. + +** II Chronicles 30:8 + +Harden not your necks, as your fathers did: yield yourselves to the Lord, and come to his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified forever: serve the Lord the God of your fathers, and the wrath of his indignation shall be turned away from you. + +** II Chronicles 30:9 + +For if you turn again to the Lord, your brethren, and children shall find mercy before their masters, that have led them away captive, and they shall return into this land: for the Lord your God is merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him. + +** II Chronicles 30:10 + +So the posts went speedily from city to city, through the land of Ephraim, and of Manasses, even to Zabulon, whilst they laughed at them and mocked them. + +** II Chronicles 30:11 + +Nevertheless some men of Aser, and of Manasses, and of Zabulon, yielding to the counsel, came to Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 30:12 + +But the hand of God was in Juda, to give them one heart to do the word of the Lord, according to the commandment of the king, and of the princes. + +** II Chronicles 30:13 + +And much people were assembled to Jerusalem to celebrate the solemnity of the unleavened bread in the second month: + +** II Chronicles 30:14 + +And they arose and destroyed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and took away all things in which incense was burnt to idols and cast them into the torrent Cedron. + +** II Chronicles 30:15 + +And they immolated the phase on the fourteenth day of the second month.

was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 32:26 + +And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias. + +** II Chronicles 32:27 + +And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered

given him very much substance. + +** II Chronicles 32:30 + +This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in all his works he did prosperously what he would. + +** II Chronicles 32:31 + +But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart. + +** II Chronicles 32:32 + +Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. + +** II Chronicles 32:33 + +And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead. + +* II Chronicles 33 + +** II Chronicles 33:1 + +Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 33:2 + +And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel: + +** II Chronicles 33:3 + +And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them. + +** II Chronicles 33:4 + +He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. + +** II Chronicles 33:5 + +And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 33:6 + +And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger. + +** II Chronicles 33:7 + +He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever. + +** II Chronicles 33:8 + +And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I have commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses. + +** II Chronicles 33:9 + +So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel. + +** II Chronicles 33:10 + +And the Lord spoke to his people, and they would not hearken. + +** II Chronicles 33:11 + +Therefore he brought upon them the captains of he army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon. + +** II Chronicles 33:12 + +And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers. + +** II Chronicles 33:13 + +And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God. + +** II Chronicles 33:14 + +After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda: + +** II Chronicles 33:15 + +And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city. + +** II Chronicles 33:16 + +And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel. + +** II Chronicles 33:17 + +Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God. + +** II Chronicles 33:18 + +But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel. + +** II Chronicles 33:19 + +His prayer also, and his being heard and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai. + +** II Chronicles 33:20 + +And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house: and his son Amon reigned in his stead. + +** II Chronicles 33:21 + +Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 33:22 + +And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them. + +** II Chronicles 33:23 + +And he did not humble himself before the lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sin. + +** II Chronicles 33:24 + +And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. + +** II Chronicles 33:25 + +But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amon, and made Josias his son king in his stead. + +* II Chronicles 34 + +** II Chronicles 34:1 + +Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 34:2 + +And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the right hand, nor to the left. + +** II Chronicles 34:3 + +And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things. + +** II Chronicles 34:4 + +And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and he cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them. + +** II Chronicles 34:5 + +And he burnt the bones of the priests on the altars of the idols, and he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 34:6 + +And in the cities of Manasses, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Nephtali he demolished all. + +** II Chronicles 34:7 + +And when he had destroyed the altars, and the groves, and had broken the idols in pieces, and had demolished all profane temples throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 34:8 + +Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Elselias, and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God. + +** II Chronicles 34:9 + +And they came to Helcias the high priest: and received of him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasses, and Ephraim, and all the remnant of Israel, and from all Juda, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, + +** II Chronicles 34:10 + +Which they delivered into the hands of them that were over the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the temple, and mend all that was weak. + +** II Chronicles 34:11 + +But they gave it to the artificers, and to the masons, to buy stones out of the quarries, and timber for the couplings of the building, and to rafter the houses, which the kings of Juda had destroyed. + +** II Chronicles 34:12 + +And they did all faithfully. Now the overseers of the workmen were Jahath and Abdias of the sons of Merari, Zacharias and Mosollam of the sons of Caath, who hastened the work: all Levites skilful to play on instruments. + +** II Chronicles 34:13 + +But over them that carried burdens for divers uses, were scribes, and masters of the number of the Levites, and porters. + +** II Chronicles 34:14 + +Now when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Helcias the priest found the book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. + +** II Chronicles 34:15 + +And he said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and he delivered it to him. + +** II Chronicles 34:16 + +But he carried the book to the king, and told him, saying: Lo, all that thou hast committed to thy servants, is accomplished. + +** II Chronicles 34:17 + +They have gathered together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord: and it is given to the overseers of the artificers, and of the workmen, for divers works. + +** II Chronicles 34:18 + +Moreover Helcias the priest gave me this book. And he read it before the king. + +** II Chronicles 34:19 + +And when he had heard the words of the law, he rent his garments: + +** II Chronicles 34:20 + +And he commanded Helcias, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Abdon the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaa the king's servant, saying: + +** II Chronicles 34:21 + +Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel, and Juda, concerning all the words of this book, which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord hath fallen upon us, because our fathers have not kept the words of the Lord, to do all things that are written in this book. + +** II Chronicles 34:22 + +And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part: and they spoke to her the words above mentioned. + +** II Chronicles 34:23 + +And she answered them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me: + +** II Chronicles 34:24 + +Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in this book which they read before the king of Juda. + +** II Chronicles 34:25 + +Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath shall fail upon this place, and shall not be quenched. + +** II Chronicles 34:26 + +But as to the king of Juda that sent you to beseech the Lord, thus shall you say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Because thou hast heard the words of this book, + +** II Chronicles 34:27 + +And thy heart was softened, and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 34:28 + +For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They therefore reported to the king all that she had said. + +** II Chronicles 34:29 + +And he called together all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 34:30 + +And went up to the house of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people from the least to the greatest. And the king read in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, all the words of the book. + +** II Chronicles 34:31 + +And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read. + +** II Chronicles 34:32 + +And he adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of the Lord the God of their fathers. + +** II Chronicles 34:33 + +And Josias took away all the abominations out of all the countries of the children of Israel and made all that were left in Israel, to serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived they departed not from the Lord the God of their fathers. + +* II Chronicles 35 + +** II Chronicles 35:1 + +And Josias kept a phase to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was sacrificed on the fourteenth day of the first month. + +** II Chronicles 35:2 + +And he set the priests in their offices, and exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord. + +** II Chronicles 35:3 + +And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel. + +** II Chronicles 35:4 + +And prepare yourselves by your houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written. + +** II Chronicles 35:5 + +And serve ye in the sanctuary by the families and companies of Levi. + +** II Chronicles 35:6 + +And being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses. + +** II Chronicles 35:7 + +And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king's substance. + +** II Chronicles 35:8 + +And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the phase two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. + +** II Chronicles 35:9 + +And Chonenias, and Semeias and Nathanael, his brethren, and Hasabias, and Jehiel, and Jozabad princes of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites to celebrate the phase five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen. + +** II Chronicles 35:10 + +And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king's commandment. + +** II Chronicles 35:11 + +And the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts: + +** II Chronicles 35:12 + +And they separated them, to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner. + +** II Chronicles 35:13 + +And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people. + +** II Chronicles 35:14 + +And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night, wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last. + +** II Chronicles 35:15 + +And the singers the sons of Asaph stood in their order, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun, the prophets of the king: and the porters kept guard at every gate, so as not to depart one moment from their service, and therefore their brethren the Levites prepared meats for them. + +** II Chronicles 35:16 + +So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias. + +** II Chronicles 35:17 + +And the children of Israel that were found there, kept the phase at that time, and the feast of unleavened seven days. + +** II Chronicles 35:18 + +There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 35:19 + +In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this phase celebrated. + +** II Chronicles 35:20 + +After that Josias had repaired the temple, Nechao king of Egypt came up to fight in Charcamis by the Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him. + +** II Chronicles 35:21 + +But he sent messengers to him, saying: What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I come not against thee this day, but I fight against another house, to which God hath commanded me to go in haste: forbear to do against God, who is with me, lest he kill thee. + +** II Chronicles 35:22 + +Josias would not return, but prepared to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao from the mouth of God, but went to fight in the field of Mageddo. + +** II Chronicles 35:23 + +And there he was wounded by the archers, and he said to his servants: Carry me out of the battle, for I am grievously wounded. + +** II Chronicles 35:24 + +And they removed him from the chariot into another, that followed him after the manner of kings, and they carried him away to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the monument of his fathers, and all Juda and Jerusalem mourned for him, + +** II Chronicles 35:25 + +Particularly Jeremias: whose lamentations for Josias all the singing men and singing women repeat unto this day, and it became like a law in Israel: Behold it is found written in the Lamentations. + +** II Chronicles 35:26 + +Now the rest of the acts of Josias and of his mercies, according to what was commanded by the law of the Lord: + +** II Chronicles 35:27 + +And his works first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. + +* II Chronicles 36 + +** II Chronicles 36:1 + +Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 36:2 + +Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. + +** II Chronicles 36:3 + +And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. + +** II Chronicles 36:4 + +And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him and carried him away into Egypt. + +** II Chronicles 36:5 + +Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God. + +** II Chronicles 36:6 + +Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon. + +** II Chronicles 36:7 + +And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple. + +** II Chronicles 36:8 + +But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.

For the letter killeth: but the spirit quickeneth. + +** II Corinthians 3:7 + +Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious (so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance), which is made void: + +** II Corinthians 3:8 + +How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory? + +** II Corinthians 3:9 + +For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory. + +** II Corinthians 3:10 + +For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by reason of the glory that excelleth. + +** II Corinthians 3:11 + +For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory. + +** II Corinthians 3:12 + +Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence. + +** II Corinthians 3:13 + +And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void. + +** II Corinthians 3:14 + +But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void). + +** II Corinthians 3:15 + +But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. + +** II Corinthians 3:16 + +But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. + +** II Corinthians 3:17 + +Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. + +** II Corinthians 3:18 + +But we all, beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord. + +* II Corinthians 4 + +** II Corinthians 4:1 + +Therefore seeing we have this ministration, according as we have obtained mercy, we faint not. + +** II Corinthians 4:2 + +But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness nor adulterating the word of God: but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God. + +** II Corinthians 4:3 + +And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost, + +** II Corinthians 4:4 + +In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them. + +** II Corinthians 4:5 + +For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord: and ourselves your servants through Jesus. + +** II Corinthians 4:6 + +For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus. + +** II Corinthians 4:7 + +But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God and not of us. + +** II Corinthians 4:8 + +In all things we suffer tribulation: but are not distressed. We are straitened: but are not destitute. + +** II Corinthians 4:9 + +We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but we perish not. + +** II Corinthians 4:10 + +Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies. + +** II Corinthians 4:11 + +For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake: that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. + +** II Corinthians 4:12 + +So then death worketh in us: but life in you. + +** II Corinthians 4:13 + +But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe. For which cause we speak also: + +** II Corinthians 4:14 + +Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and place us with you. + +** II Corinthians 4:15 + +For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. + +** II Corinthians 4:16 + +For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. + +** II Corinthians 4:17 + +For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. + +** II Corinthians 4:18 + +While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal: but the things which are not seen, are eternal. + +* II Corinthians 5 + +** II Corinthians 5:1 + +For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. + +** II Corinthians 5:2 + +For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven. + +** II Corinthians 5:3 + +Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked. + +** II Corinthians 5:4 + +For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life. + +** II Corinthians 5:5 + +Now he that maketh us for this very thing is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit, + +** II Corinthians 5:6 + +Therefore having always confidence, knowing that while we are in the body we are absent from the Lord. + +** II Corinthians 5:7 + +(For we walk by faith and not by sight.) + +** II Corinthians 5:8 + +But we are confident and have a good will to be absent rather from the body and to be present with the Lord. + +** II Corinthians 5:9 + +And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him. + +** II Corinthians 5:10 + +For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil. + +** II Corinthians 5:11 + +Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men: but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest. + +** II Corinthians 5:12 + +We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf: that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart. + +** II Corinthians 5:13 + +For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for you. + +** II Corinthians 5:14 + +For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead. + +** II Corinthians 5:15 + +And Christ died for all: that they also who live may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again. + +** II Corinthians 5:16 + +Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh: but now we know him so no longer. + +** II Corinthians 5:17 + +If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away. Behold all things are made new. + +** II Corinthians 5:18 + +But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. + +** II Corinthians 5:19 + +For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins. And he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. + +** II Corinthians 5:20 + +For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us, for Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God. + +** II Corinthians 5:21 + +Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him. + +* II Corinthians 6 + +** II Corinthians 6:1 + +And we helping do exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. + +** II Corinthians 6:2 + +For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time: behold, now is the day of salvation. + +** II Corinthians 6:3 + +Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed. + +** II Corinthians 6:4 + +But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses, + +** II Corinthians 6:5 + +In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, + +** II Corinthians 6:6 + +In chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned, + +** II Corinthians 6:7 + +In the word of truth, in the power of God: by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left: + +** II Corinthians 6:8 + +By honour and dishonour: by evil report and good report: as deceivers and yet true: as unknown and yet known: + +** II Corinthians 6:9 + +As dying and behold we live: as chastised and not killed: + +** II Corinthians 6:10 + +As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing: as needy, yet enriching many: as having nothing and possessing all things. + +** II Corinthians 6:11 + +Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians: our heart is enlarged. + +** II Corinthians 6:12 + +You are not straitened in us: but in your own bowels you are straitened. + +** II Corinthians 6:13 + +But having the same recompense (I speak as to my children): be you also enlarged. + +** II Corinthians 6:14 + +Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? + +** II Corinthians 6:15 + +And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever? + +** II Corinthians 6:16 + +And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God: as God saith: I will dwell in them and walk among them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people. + +** II Corinthians 6:17 + +Wherefore: Go out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: + +** II Corinthians 6:18 + +And I will receive you. And will be a Father to you: and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. + +* II Corinthians 7 + +** II Corinthians 7:1 + +Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God. + +** II Corinthians 7:2 + +Receive us. We have injured no man: we have corrupted no man: we have overreached no man. + +** II Corinthians 7:3 + +I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before that you are in our hearts: to die together and to live together. + +** II Corinthians 7:4 + +Great is my confidence for you: great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation. + +** II Corinthians 7:5 + +For also, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest: but we suffered all tribulation. Combats without: fears within. + +** II Corinthians 7:6 + +But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus. + +** II Corinthians 7:7 + +And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me: so that I rejoiced the more. + +** II Corinthians 7:8 + +For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent. And if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful, + +** II Corinthians 7:9 + +Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful, but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing. + +** II Corinthians 7:10 + +For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. + +** II Corinthians 7:11 + +For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you: yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge. In all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter. + +** II Corinthians 7:12 + +Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it: but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you + +** II Corinthians 7:13 + +Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. + +** II Corinthians 7:14 + +And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame: but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth. + +** II Corinthians 7:15 + +And his bowels are more abundantly towards you: remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him. + +** II Corinthians 7:16 + +I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you. + +* II Corinthians 8 + +** II Corinthians 8:1 + +Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia. + +** II Corinthians 8:2 + +That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity. + +** II Corinthians 8:3 + +For according to their power (I bear them witness) and beyond their power, they were willing: + +** II Corinthians 8:4 + +With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints. + +** II Corinthians 8:5 + +And not as we hoped: but they gave their own selves, first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God; + +** II Corinthians 8:6 + +Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace. + +** II Corinthians 8:7 + +That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may abound. + +** II Corinthians 8:8 + +I speak not as commanding: but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity. + +** II Corinthians 8:9 + +For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich. + +** II Corinthians 8:10 + +And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago. + +** II Corinthians 8:11 + +Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have. + +** II Corinthians 8:12 + +For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not. + +** II Corinthians 8:13 + +For I mean not that others should be eased and you burdened, but by an equality. + +** II Corinthians 8:14 + +In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want: that there may be an equality, + +** II Corinthians 8:15 + +As it is written: He that had much had nothing over; and he that had little had no want. + +** II Corinthians 8:16 + +And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus. + +** II Corinthians 8:17 + +For indeed he accepted the exhortation: but, being more careful, of his own will he went unto you. + +** II Corinthians 8:18 + +We have sent also with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches. + +** II Corinthians 8:19 + +And not that only: but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord and our determined will: + +** II Corinthians 8:20 + +Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us. + +** II Corinthians 8:21 + +For we forecast what may be good, not only before God but also before men. + +** II Corinthians 8:22 + +And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent: with much confidence in you, + +** II Corinthians 8:23 + +Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ. + +** II Corinthians 8:24 + +Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity and of our boasting on your behalf. + +* II Corinthians 9 + +** II Corinthians 9:1 + +For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you. + +** II Corinthians 9:2 + +For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia also is ready from the year past. And your emulation hath provoked very many. + +** II Corinthians 9:3 + +Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready: + +** II Corinthians 9:4 + +Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter. + +** II Corinthians 9:5 + +Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness. + +** II Corinthians 9:6 + +Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings shall also reap blessings. + +** II Corinthians 9:7 + +Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. + +** II Corinthians 9:8 + +And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiently in all things, may abound to every good work, + +** II Corinthians 9:9 + +As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. + +** II Corinthians 9:10 + +And he that ministereth seed to the sower will both give you bread to eat and will multiply your seed and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice: + +** II Corinthians 9:11 + +That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. + +** II Corinthians 9:12 + +Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord. + +** II Corinthians 9:13 + +By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them and unto all. + +** II Corinthians 9:14 + +And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you. + +** II Corinthians 9:15 + +Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. + +* II Corinthians 10 + +** II Corinthians 10:1 + +Now I Paul, myself beseech you, by the mildness and modesty of Christ: who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. + +** II Corinthians 10:2 + +But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence wherewith I am thought to be bold, against some who reckon us as if we walked according to the flesh. + +** II Corinthians 10:3 + +For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. + +** II Corinthians 10:4 + +For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty to God, unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels, + +** II Corinthians 10:5 + +And every height that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God: and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ: + +** II Corinthians 10:6 + +And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled. + +** II Corinthians 10:7 + +See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ's let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ's, so are we also. + +** II Corinthians 10:8 + +For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed. + +** II Corinthians 10:9 + +But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles, + +** II Corinthians 10:10 + +(For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible): + +** II Corinthians 10:11 + +Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles when absent, such also we will be indeed when present. + +** II Corinthians 10:12 + +For we dare not match or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but we measure ourselves by ourselves and compare ourselves with ourselves. + +** II Corinthians 10:13 + +But we will not glory beyond our measure: but according to the measure of the rule which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you. + +** II Corinthians 10:14 + +For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the Gospel of Christ. + +** II Corinthians 10:15 + +Not glorying beyond measure in other men's labours: but having hope of your increasing faith, to be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly. + +** II Corinthians 10:16 + +Yea, unto those places that are beyond you to preach the gospel: not to glory in another man's rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand. + +** II Corinthians 10:17 + +But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. + +** II Corinthians 10:18 + +For not he who commendeth himself is approved: but he, whom God commendeth. + +* II Corinthians 11 + +** II Corinthians 11:1 + +Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly! But do bear with me. + +** II Corinthians 11:2 + +For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. + +** II Corinthians 11:3 + +But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ. + +** II Corinthians 11:4 + +For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel, which you have not received: you might well bear with him. + +** II Corinthians 11:5 + +For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles. + +** II Corinthians 11:6 + +For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge: but in all things we have been made manifest to you. + +** II Corinthians 11:7 + +Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached unto you the Gospel of God freely? + +** II Corinthians 11:8 + +I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry. + +** II Corinthians 11:9 + +And, when I was present with you and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia. And in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you: and so I will keep myself. + +** II Corinthians 11:10 + +The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia. + +** II Corinthians 11:11 + +Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it. + +** II Corinthians 11:12 + +But what I do, that I will do: that I may cut off the occasion from them that desire occasion: that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. + +** II Corinthians 11:13 + +For such false apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. + +** II Corinthians 11:14 + +And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light. + +** II Corinthians 11:15 + +Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works. + +** II Corinthians 11:16 + +I say again (Let no man think me to be foolish: otherwise take me as one foolish, that I also may glory a little): + +** II Corinthians 11:17 + +That which I speak, I speak not according to God: but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying. + +** II Corinthians 11:18 + +Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also. + +** II Corinthians 11:19 + +For you gladly suffer the foolish: whereas yourselves are wise. + +** II Corinthians 11:20 + +For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face. + +** II Corinthians 11:21 + +I seek according to dishonour, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also. + +** II Corinthians 11:22 + +They are Hebrews: so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They are the seed of Abraham: so am I. + +** II Corinthians 11:23 + +They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. + +** II Corinthians 11:24 + +Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one. + +** II Corinthians 11:25 + +Thrice was I beaten with rods: once I was stoned: thrice I suffered shipwreck: a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea. + +** II Corinthians 11:26 + +In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren: + +** II Corinthians 11:27 + +In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness: + +** II Corinthians 11:28 + +Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches. + +** II Corinthians 11:29 + +Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire? + +** II Corinthians 11:30 + +If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity. + +** II Corinthians 11:31 + +The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not. + +** II Corinthians 11:32 + +At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me. + +** II Corinthians 11:33 + +And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall: and so escaped his hands. + +* II Corinthians 12 + +** II Corinthians 12:1 + +If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed) but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. + +** II Corinthians 12:2 + +I know a man in Christ: above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth), such a one caught up to the third heaven. + +** II Corinthians 12:3 + +And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth): + +** II Corinthians 12:4 + +That he was caught up into paradise and heard secret words which it is not granted to man to utter. + +** II Corinthians 12:5 + +For such an one I will glory: but for myself I will glory nothing but in my infirmities. + +** II Corinthians 12:6 + +For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish: for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me. + +** II Corinthians 12:7 + +And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me. + +** II Corinthians 12:8 + +For which thing, thrice I besought the Lord that it might depart from me. + +** II Corinthians 12:9 + +And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. + +** II Corinthians 12:10 + +For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful. + +** II Corinthians 12:11 + +I am become foolish. You have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you. For I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing. + +** II Corinthians 12:12 + +Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. + +** II Corinthians 12:13 + +For what is there that you have had less than the other churches but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury. + +** II Corinthians 12:14 + +Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. + +** II Corinthians 12:15 + +But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls: although loving you more, I be loved less. + +** II Corinthians 12:16 + +But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile. + +** II Corinthians 12:17 + +Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you? + +** II Corinthians 12:18 + +I desired Titus: and I sent with him a brother.

So as he turned, and was going away with indignation, + +** II Kings 5:13 + +His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt be clean? + +** II Kings 5:14 + +Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child: and he was made clean. + +** II Kings 5:15 + +And returning to the man of God, with all his train, he came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee, therefore, take a blessing of thy servant. + +** II Kings 5:16 + +But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused. + +** II Kings 5:17 + +And Naaman said: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me, thy servant, to take from hence two mules' burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord. + +** II Kings 5:18 + +But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant; when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand: if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me, thy servant, for this thing. + +** II Kings 5:19 + +And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him, in the spring time of the earth. + +** II Kings 5:20 + +But Giezi, the servant of the man of God, said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take something of him. + +** II Kings 5:21 + +And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well? + +** II Kings 5:22 + +And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. + +** II Kings 5:23 + +And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him. + +** II Kings 5:24 + +And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed. + +** II Kings 5:25 + +But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither. + +** II Kings 5:26 + +But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back, from his chariot, to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants. + +** II Kings 5:27 + +But the leprosy of Naaman, shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper, as white as snow. + +* II Kings 6 + +** II Kings 6:1 + +And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. + +** II Kings 6:2 + +Let us go as far as the Jordan, and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go. + +** II Kings 6:3 + +And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come. + +** II Kings 6:4 + +So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan, they cut down wood. + +** II Kings 6:5 + +And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the ax fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed. + +** II Kings 6:6 + +And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place: Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam. + +** II Kings 6:7 + +And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand, and took it. + +** II Kings 6:8 + +And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place, let us lay an ambush. + +** II Kings 6:9 + +And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush. + +** II Kings 6:10 + +And the king of Israel, sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice. + +** II Kings 6:11 + +And the heart of the king of Syria, was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel? + +** II Kings 6:12 + +And one of his servants said: No one, my lord, O king: but Eliseus, the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber. + +** II Kings 6:13 + +And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send and take him. And they told him: saying: Behold he is in Dothan. + +** II Kings 6:14 + +Therefore, he sent thither horses, and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city. + +** II Kings 6:15 + +And the servant of the man of God, rising early went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do? + +** II Kings 6:16 + +But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them. + +** II Kings 6:17 + +And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus. + +** II Kings 6:18 + +And the enemies came down to him: but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness: and the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus. + +** II Kings 6:19 + +And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria. + +** II Kings 6:20 + +And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria. + +** II Kings 6:21 + +And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them? + +** II Kings 6:22 + +And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. + +** II Kings 6:23 + +And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank; and he let them go: and they went away to their master: and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. + +** II Kings 6:24 + +And it came to pass, after these things, that Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. + +** II Kings 6:25 + +And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeons' dung, for five pieces of silver. + +** II Kings 6:26 + +And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord, O king. + +** II Kings 6:27 + +And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered: + +** II Kings 6:28 + +This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. + +** II Kings 6:29 + +So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son, that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son. + +** II Kings 6:30 + +When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh. + +** II Kings 6:31 + +And the king said: May God do so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus, the son of Saphat, shall stand on him this day. + +** II Kings 6:32 + +But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him. + +** II Kings 6:33 + +While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared, who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord? + +* II Kings 7 + +** II Kings 7:1 + +And Eliseus said: Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord: Tomorrow, about this time, a bushel of fine flour shall be sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, in the gate of Samaria. + +** II Kings 7:2 + +Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest? And he said: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. + +** II Kings 7:3 + +Now there were four lepers, at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another: What mean we to stay here till we die? + +** II Kings 7:4 + +If we will enter into the city, we shall die with the famine: and if we will remain here, we must also die: come therefore, and let us run over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we shall live: but if they kill us, we shall but die. + +** II Kings 7:5 + +So they arose in the evening, to go to the Syrian camp. And when they were come to the first part of the camp of the Syrians, they found no man there. + +** II Kings 7:6 + +For the Lord had made them hear, in the camp of Syria, the noise of chariots, and of horses, and of a very great army: and they said one to another: Behold, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hethites, and of the Egyptians; and they are come upon us. + +** II Kings 7:7 + +Wherefore they arose, and fled away in the dark, and left their tents, and their horses and asses in the camp, and fled, desiring to save their lives. + +** II Kings 7:8 + +So when these lepers were come to the beginning of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank: and they took from thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went, and hid it: and they came again, and went into another tent, and carried from thence in like manner, and hid it. + +** II Kings 7:9 + +Then they said one to another: We do not well: for this is a day of good tidings. If we hold our peace, and do not tell it till the morning, we shall be charged with a crime: come, let us go, and tell it in the king's court. + +** II Kings 7:10 + +So they came to the gate of the city, and told them, saying: We went to the camp of the Syrians, and we found no man there, but horses, and asses tied, and the tents standing. + +** II Kings 7:11 + +Then the guards of the gate went, and told it within in the king's palace. + +** II Kings 7:12 + +And he arose in the night, and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city. + +** II Kings 7:13 + +And one of his servants answered: Let us take the five horses that are remaining in the city (because there are no more in the whole multitude of Israel, for the rest are consumed), and let us send and see. + +** II Kings 7:14 + +They brought therefore two horses, and the king sent into the camp of the Syrians, saying: Go, and see. + +** II Kings 7:15 + +And they went after them, as far as the Jordan: and behold, all the way was full of garments, and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away, in their fright, and the messengers returned, and told the king. + +** II Kings 7:16 + +And the people going out, pillaged the camp of the Syrians: and a bushel of fine flour was sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, according to the word of the Lord. + +** II Kings 7:17 + +And the king appointed that lord on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: and the people trod upon him in the entrance of the gate; and he died, as the man of God had said, when the king came down to him. + +** II Kings 7:18 + +And it came to pass, according to the word of the man of God, which he spoke to the king, when he said: Two bushels of barley shall be for a stater, and a bushel of fine flour for a stater, at this very time tomorrow, in the gate of Samaria. + +** II Kings 7:19 + +When that lord answered the man of God, and said: Although the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, could this come to pass which thou sayest? And he said to him: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, and shalt not eat thereof. + +** II Kings 7:20 + +And so it fell out to him, as it was foretold, and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died. + +* II Kings 8 + +** II Kings 8:1 + +And Eliseus spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying: Arise, and go thou, and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst find: for the Lord hath called a famine, and it shall come upon the land seven years. + +** II Kings 8:2 + +And she arose, and did according to the word of the man of God: and going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days. + +** II Kings 8:3 + +And when the seven years were ended, the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, and she went forth to speak to the king for her house and for her lands. + +** II Kings 8:4 + +And the king talked with Giezi, the servant of the man of God, saying: Tell me all the great things that Eliseus hath done. + +** II Kings 8:5 + +And when he was telling the king how he had raised one dead to life, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying to the king for her house, and her lands. And Giezi said: My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Eliseus raised to life. + +** II Kings 8:6 + +And the king asked the woman: and she told him. And the king appointed her an eunuch, saying: Restore her all that is hers, and all the revenues of the lands, from the day that she left the land to this present. + +** II Kings 8:7 + +Eliseus also came to Damascus, and Benadad, king of Syria was sick; and they told him, saying: The man of God is come hither. + +** II Kings 8:8 + +And the king said to Hazael: Take with thee presents, and go to meet the man of God, and consult the Lord by him, saying: Can I recover of this my illness? + +** II Kings 8:9 + +And Hazael went to meet him, taking with him presents, and all the good things of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he stood before him, he said: Thy son, Benadad, the king of Syria, hath sent me to thee, saying: Can I recover of this my illness? + +** II Kings 8:10 + +And Eliseus said to him: Go tell him: Thou shalt recover: but the Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die. + +** II Kings 8:11 + +And he stood with him, and was troubled so far as to blush: and the man of God wept. + +** II Kings 8:12 + +And Hazael said to him: Why doth my lord weep? And he said: Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel. Their strong cities thou wilt burn with fire, and their young men thou wilt kill with the sword, and thou wilt dash their children, and rip up their pregnant women. + +** II Kings 8:13 + +And Hazael said: But what am I, thy servant, a dog, that I should do this great thing? And Eliseus said: The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king of Syria. + +** II Kings 8:14 + +And when he was departed from Eliseus he came to his master, who said to him: What said Eliseus to thee? And he answered: He told me: Thou shalt recover. + +** II Kings 8:15 + +And on the next day, he took a blanket, and poured water on it, and spread it upon his face: and he died, and Hazael reigned in his stead. + +** II Kings 8:16 + +In the fifth year of Joram, son of Achab, king of Israel, and of Josaphat, king of Juda, reigned Joram, son of Josaphat, king of Juda. + +** II Kings 8:17 + +He was two and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. + +** II Kings 8:18 + +And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. + +** II Kings 8:19 + +But the Lord would not destroy Juda, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him, to give him a light, and to his children always. + +** II Kings 8:20 + +In his days Edom revolted from being under Juda, and made themselves a king. + +** II Kings 8:21 + +And Joram came to Seira, and all the chariots with him: and he arose in the night, and defeated the Edomites that had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots, but the people fled into their tents. + +** II Kings 8:22 + +So Edom revolted from being under Juda, unto this day. Then Lobna also revolted at the same time. + +** II Kings 8:23 + +But the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? + +** II Kings 8:24 + +And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead. + +** II Kings 8:25 + +In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Achab, king of Israel, reigned Ochozias, son of Joram, king of Juda. + +** II Kings 8:26 + +Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri king of Israel. + +** II Kings 8:27 + +And he walked in the ways of the house of Achab: and he did evil before the Lord, as did the house of Achab: for he was the son in law of the house of Achab. + +** II Kings 8:28 + +He went also with Joram, son of Achab, to fight against Hazael, king of Syria, in Ramoth Galaad, and the Syrians wounded Joram: + +** II Kings 8:29 + +And he went back to be healed, in Jezrahel: because the Syrians had wounded him in Ramoth, when he fought against Hazael, king of Syria And Ochozias, the son of Joram, king of Juda, went down to visit Joram, the son of Achab, in Jezrahel, because he was sick there. + +* II Kings 9 + +** II Kings 9:1 + +And Eliseus the prophet, called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him: Gird up thy loins, and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth Galaad. + +** II Kings 9:2 + +And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in, thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber. + +** II Kings 9:3 + +Then taking the little bottle of oil, thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there. + +** II Kings 9:4 + +So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went away to Ramoth Galaad, + +** II Kings 9:5 + +And went in thither: and behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince. + +** II Kings 9:6 + +And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord. + +** II Kings 9:7 + +And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab, thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezabel. + +** II Kings 9:8 + +And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab, him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel. + +** II Kings 9:9 + +And I will make the house of Achab, like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa, the son of Ahias. + +** II Kings 9:10 + +And the dogs shall eat Jezabel, in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled. + +** II Kings 9:11 + +Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his Lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said. + +** II Kings 9:12 + +But they answered: It is false; but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. + +** II Kings 9:13 + +Then they made haste, and taking every man his garment, laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king. + +** II Kings 9:14 + +So Jehu, the son of Josaphat, the son of Namsi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he, and all Israel, fighting with Hazael, king of Syria: + +** II Kings 9:15 + +And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds; for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel. + +** II Kings 9:16 + +And he got up, and went into Jezrahel for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda, was come down to visit Joram. + +** II Kings 9:17 + +The watchman therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well? + +** II Kings 9:18 + +So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not. + +** II Kings 9:19 + +And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me. + +** II Kings 9:20 + +And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, the son of Namsi; for he drives furiously. + +** II Kings 9:21 + +And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot: and Joram, king of Israel, and Ochozias, king of Juda, went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth, the Jezrahelite. + +** II Kings 9:22 + +And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel, thy mother, and her many sorceries, are in their vigour. + +** II Kings 9:23 + +And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias. + +** II Kings 9:24 + +But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot. + +** II Kings 9:25 + +And Jehu said to Badacer, his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezrahelite: for I remember, when I and thou, sitting in a chariot, followed Achab, this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying: + +** II Kings 9:26 + +If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord. + +** II Kings 9:27 + +But Ochozias, king of Juda, seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there. + +** II Kings 9:28 + +And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers, in the city of David. + +** II Kings 9:29 + +In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda; + +** II Kings 9:30 + +And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel, hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window. + +** II Kings 9:31 + +At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master? + +** II Kings 9:32 + +And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him. + +** II Kings 9:33 + +And he said to them: Throw her down headlong; And they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her. + +** II Kings 9:34 + +And when he was come in to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her; because she is a king's daughter. + +** II Kings 9:35 + +And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands. + +** II Kings 9:36 + +And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias, the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel. + +** II Kings 9:37 + +And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel; so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel? + +* II Kings 10 + +** II Kings 10:1 + +And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab's children, saying: + +** II Kings 10:2 + +As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master's sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour, + +** II Kings 10:3 + +Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for the house of your master. + +** II Kings 10:4 + +But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: Behold two kings could not stand before him, and how shall we be able to resist? + +** II Kings 10:5 + +Therefore they that were over the king's house, and the rulers of the city, and the ancients, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying: We are thy servants: whatsoever thou shalt command us we will do; we will not make us any king: do thou all that pleaseth thee. + +** II Kings 10:6 + +And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow at this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city. + +** II Kings 10:7 + +And when the letters came to them, they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezrahel. + +** II Kings 10:8 + +And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning. + +** II Kings 10:9 + +And when it was light, he went out, and standing, said to all the people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him; who hath slain all these? + +** II Kings 10:10 + +See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias. + +** II Kings 10:11 + +So Jehu slew all that were left of the house of Achab in Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till there were no remains left of him. + +** II Kings 10:12 + +And he arose, and went to Samaria: and when he was come to the shepherds' cabin in the way, + +** II Kings 10:13 + +He met with the brethren of Ochozias, king of Juda, and he said to them: Who are you? And they answered: We are the brethren of Ochozias, and are come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen. + +** II Kings 10:14 + +And he said: Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit by the cabin, two and forty men, and he left not any of them. + +** II Kings 10:15 + +And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot, + +** II Kings 10:16 + +And said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot, + +** II Kings 10:17 + +And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab, in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Elias. + +** II Kings 10:18 + +And Jehu gathered together all the people, and said to them: Achab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him more. + +** II Kings 10:19 + +Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting, shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. + +** II Kings 10:20 + +And he said: Proclaim a festival for Baal. And he called, + +** II Kings 10:21 + +And he sent into all the borders of Israel; and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other. + +** II Kings 10:22 + +And he said to them that were over the wardrobe: Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And they brought them forth garments. + +** II Kings 10:23 + +And Jehu, and Jonadab, the son of Rechab, went to the temple of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal: Search, and see that there be not any with you of the servants of the Lord, but that there be the servants of Baal only. + +** II Kings 10:24 + +And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go, shall answer life for life. + +** II Kings 10:25 + +And it came to pass, when the burnt offering was ended, that Jehu commanded his soldiers and captains, saying: Go in, and kill them: let none escape. And the soldiers and captains slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them out: and they went into the city of the temple of Baal, + +** II Kings 10:26 + +And brought the statue out of Baal's temple, and burnt it, + +** II Kings 10:27 + +And broke it in pieces. They destroyed also the temple of Baal, and made a jakes in its place unto this day. + +** II Kings 10:28 + +So Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel: + +** II Kings 10:29 + +But yet he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that were in Bethel, and Dan. + +** II Kings 10:30 + +And the Lord said to Jehu: because thou hast diligently executed that which was right and pleasing in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Achab according to all that was in my heart: thy children shall sit upon the throne of Israel to the fourth generation. + +** II Kings 10:31 + +But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin. + +** II Kings 10:32 + +In those days the Lord began to be weary of Israel: and Hazael ravaged them in all the coasts of Israel, + +** II Kings 10:33 + +From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Galaad, and Gad, and Ruben, and Manasses, from Aroer, which is upon the torrent Arnon, and Galaad, and Basan. + +** II Kings 10:34 + +But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? + +** II Kings 10:35 + +And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz, his son, reigned in his stead. + +** II Kings 10:36 + +And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years. + +* II Kings 11 + +** II Kings 11:1 + +Now Athalia, the mother of Ochozias, seeing that her son was dead, arose and slew all the royal seed. + +** II Kings 11:2 + +But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas, the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia; so that he was not slain. + +** II Kings 11:3 + +And he was with her six years, hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia reigned over the land. + +** II Kings 11:4 + +And in the seventh year Joiada sent, and taking the centurions and soldiers, brought them in to him into the temple of the Lord, and made a covenant with them: and taking an oath of them in the house of the Lord, shewed them the king's son: + +** II Kings 11:5 + +And he commanded them, saying: This is the thing that you must do. + +** II Kings 11:6 + +Let a third part of you go in on the sabbath, and keep the watch of the king's house. And let a third part be at the gate of Sur; and let a third part be at the gate behind the dwelling of the shieldbearers; and you shall keep the watch of the house of Messa. + +** II Kings 11:7 + +But let two parts of you all that go forth on the sabbath, keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king. + +** II Kings 11:8 + +And you shall compass him round about, having weapons in your hands: and if any man shall enter the precinct of the temple, let him be slain: and you shall be with the king, coming in and going out. + +** II Kings 11:9 + +And the centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest, had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out in the sabbath, came to Joiada, the priest. + +** II Kings 11:10 + +And he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which were in the house of the Lord. + +** II Kings 11:11 + +And they stood, having every one their weapons in their hands, from the right side of the temple, unto the left side of the altar, and of the temple, about the king. + +** II Kings 11:12 + +And he brought forth the king's son, and put the diadem upon him, and the testimony: and they made him king, and anointed him: and clapping their hands, they said: God save the king. + +** II Kings 11:13 + +And Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord, + +** II Kings 11:14 + +She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she rent her garments, and cried: A conspiracy, a conspiracy. + +** II Kings 11:15 + +But Joiada commanded the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord. + +** II Kings 11:16 + +And they laid hands on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, and she was slain there. + +** II Kings 11:17 + +And Joiada made a covenant between the Lord, and the king, and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord; and between the king and the people. + +** II Kings 11:18 + +And all the people of the land went into the temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in the house of the Lord. + +** II Kings 11:19 + +And he took the centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace, and he sat on the throne of the kings. + +** II Kings 11:20 + +And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword in the king's house. + +** II Kings 11:21 + +Now Joas was seven years old when he began to reign. + +* II Kings 12 + +** II Kings 12:1 + +In the seventh year of Jehu, Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia, of Bersabee. + +** II Kings 12:2 + +And Joas did that which was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada, the priest, taught him. + +** II Kings 12:3 + +But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. + +** II Kings 12:4 + +And Joas said to the priests: all the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart, they bring into the temple of the Lord: + +** II Kings 12:5 + +Let the priests take it according to their order and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing. + +** II Kings 12:6 + +Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas the priests did not make the repairs of the temple. + +** II Kings 12:7 + +And king Joas called Joiada, the high priest, and the priests, saying to them: Why do you not repair the temple? Take you, therefore, money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple. + +** II Kings 12:8 + +And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house. + +** II Kings 12:9 + +And Joiada, the high priest, took a chest, and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord; and the priests that kept the doors, put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord. + +** II Kings 12:10 + +And when they saw that there was very much money in the chest, the king's scribe, and the high priest, came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord. + +** II Kings 12:11 + +And they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons, that wrought in the house of the Lord, + +** II Kings 12:12 + +And made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house. + +** II Kings 12:13 + +But there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord: + +** II Kings 12:14 + +For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired. + +** II Kings 12:15 + +And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully. + +** II Kings 12:16 + +But the money for trespass, and the money for sins, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for the priests. + +** II Kings 12:17 + +Then Hazael, king of Syria, went up, and fought against Geth, and took it, and set his face to go up to Jerusalem. + +** II Kings 12:18 + +Wherefore Joas, king of Juda, took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias, his fathers, the kings of Juda, had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king's palace: and sent it to Hazael, king of Syria, and he went off from Jerusalem. + +** II Kings 12:19 + +And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? + +** II Kings 12:20 + +And his servants arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas, in the house of Mello, in the descent of Sella. + +** II Kings 12:21 + +For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant, struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Amasias, his son, reigned in his stead. + +* II Kings 13 + +** II Kings 13:1 + +In the three and twentieth year of Joas son of Ochozias, king of Juda, Joachaz, the son of Jehu, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, seventeen years. + +** II Kings 13:2 + +And he did evil before the Lord, and followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; and he departed not from them. + +** II Kings 13:3 + +And the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benadad, the son of Hazael, all days. + +** II Kings 13:4 + +But Joachaz besought the face of the Lord, and the Lord heard him: for he saw the distress of Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them: + +** II Kings 13:5 + +And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, and they were delivered out of the hand of the king of Syria: and the children of Israel dwelt in their pavilions as yesterday and the day before. + +** II Kings 13:6 + +But yet they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, but walked in them: and there still remained a grove also in Samaria. + +** II Kings 13:7 + +And Joachaz had no more left of the people than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen: for the king of Syria had slain them, and had brought them low as dust by threshing in the barnfloor. + +** II Kings 13:8 + +But the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his valour, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? + +** II Kings 13:9 + +And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas, his son, reigned in his stead. + +** II Kings 13:10 + +In the seven and thirtieth year of Joas, king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz reigned over Israel, in Samaria, sixteen years. + +** II Kings 13:11 + +And he did that which is evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; but he walked in them. + +** II Kings 13:12 + +But the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his valour wherewith he fought against Amasias, king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? + +** II Kings 13:13 + +And Joas slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne. But Joas was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel. + +** II Kings 13:14 + +Now Eliseus was sick of the illness whereof he died: and Joas, king of Israel, went down to him, and wept before him, and said: O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the guider thereof. + +** II Kings 13:15 + +And Eliseus said to him: Bring a bow and arrows. And when he had brought him a bow and arrows, + +** II Kings 13:16 + +He said to the king of Israel: Put thy hand upon the bow. And when he had put his hand, Eliseus put his hands over the king's hands, + +** II Kings 13:17 + +And said: Open the window to the east. And when he had opened it, Eliseus said: Shoot an arrow. And he shot. And Eliseus said: The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of the deliverance from Syria: and thou shalt strike the Syrians in Aphec, till thou consume them. + +** II Kings 13:18 + +And he said: Take the arrows. And when he had taken them, he said to him: Strike with an arrow upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stood still. + +** II Kings 13:19 + +And the man of God was angry with him, and said: If thou hadst smitten five or six or seven times, thou hadst smitten Syria even to utter destruction: but now three times shalt thou smite it. + +** II Kings 13:20 + +And Eliseus died, and they buried him. And the rovers from Moab came into the land the same year. + +** II Kings 13:21 + +And some that were burying a man, saw the rovers, and cast the body into the sepulchre of Eliseus. And when it had touched the bones of Eliseus, the man came to life and stood upon his feet. + +** II Kings 13:22 + +Now Hazael, king of Syria, afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz. + +** II Kings 13:23 + +And the Lord had mercy on them, and returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob: and he would not destroy them, nor utterly cast them away, unto this present time. + +** II Kings 13:24 + +And Hazael, king of Syria, died; and Benadad, his son, reigned in his stead. + +** II Kings 13:25 + +Now Joas the son of Joachaz, took the cities out of the hand of Benadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz, his father, by war; three times did Joas beat him, and he restored the cities to Israel. + +* II Kings 14 + +** II Kings 14:1 + +In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas, king of Juda. + +** II Kings 14:2 + +He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign; and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Joadan, of Jerusalem. + +** II Kings 14:3 + +And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father.

and that the whole was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold. + +** II Maccabees 3:12 + +But that to deceive them who had trusted to the place and temple which is honoured throughout the whole world, for the reverence and holiness of it, was a thing which could not by any means be done. + +** II Maccabees 3:13 + +But he, by reason of the orders he had received from the king, said, that by all means the money must be carried to the king. + +** II Maccabees 3:14 + +So on the day he had appointed, Heliodorus entered in to order this matter. But there was no small terror throughout the whole city. + +** II Maccabees 3:15 + +And the priests prostrated themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, and called upon him from heaven, who made the law concerning things given to be kept, that he would preserve them safe, for them that had deposited them. + +** II Maccabees 3:16 + +Now whosoever saw the countenance of the high priest, was wounded in heart: for his face, and the changing of his colour, declared the inward sorrow of his mind. + +** II Maccabees 3:17 + +For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart. + +** II Maccabees 3:18 + +Others also came flocking together out of their houses, praying and making public supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt. + +** II Maccabees 3:19 + +And the women, girded with haircloth about their breasts, came together in the streets. And the virgins also that were shut up, came forth, some to Onias, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows. + +** II Maccabees 3:20 + +And all holding up their hands towards heaven made supplication. + +** II Maccabees 3:21 + +For the expectation of the mixed multitude, and of the high priest, who was in an agony, would have moved any one to pity. + +** II Maccabees 3:22 + +And these indeed called upon almighty God, to preserve the things that had been committed to them safe and sure for those that had committed them. + +** II Maccabees 3:23 + +But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury. + +** II Maccabees 3:24 + +But the spirit of the Almighty God gave a great evidence of his presence, so that all that had presumed to obey him, falling down by the power of God, were struck with fainting and dread. + +** II Maccabees 3:25 + +For there appeared to them a horse, with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold. + +** II Maccabees 3:26 + +Moreover there appeared two other young men, beautiful and strong, bright and glorious, and in comely apparel: who stood by him, on either side, and scourged him without ceasing with many stripes. + +** II Maccabees 3:27 + +And Heliodorus suddenly fell to the ground, and they took him up, covered with great darkness, and having put him into a litter, they carried him out. + +** II Maccabees 3:28 + +So he that came with many servants, and all his guard, into the aforesaid treasury, was carried out, no one being able to help him, the manifest power of God being known. + +** II Maccabees 3:29 + +And he indeed, by the power of God, lay speechless, and without all hope of recovery. + +** II Maccabees 3:30 + +But they praised the Lord, because he had glorified his place: and the temple, that a little before was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness. + +** II Maccabees 3:31 + +Then some of the friends of Heliodorus forthwith begged of Onias, that he would call upon the Most High to grant him his life, who was ready to give up the ghost. + +** II Maccabees 3:32 + +So the high priest, considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man. + +** II Maccabees 3:33 + +And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life. + +** II Maccabees 3:34 + +And thou having been scourged by God, declare unto all men the great works and the power of God. And having spoken thus, they appeared no more. + +** II Maccabees 3:35 + +So Heliodorus, after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king. + +** II Maccabees 3:36 + +And he testified to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his own eyes. + +** II Maccabees 3:37 + +And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once more to Jerusalem, he said: + +** II Maccabees 3:38 + +If thou hast any enemy, or traitor to thy king dom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God. + +** II Maccabees 3:39 + +For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it. + +** II Maccabees 3:40 + +And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out in this manner. + +* II Maccabees 4 + +** II Maccabees 4:1 + +But Simon, of whom we spoke before, who was the betrayer of the money, and of his country, spoke ill of Onias, as though he had incited Heliodorus to do these things, and had been the promoter of evils: + +** II Maccabees 4:2 + +And he presumed to call him a traitor to the kingdom, who provided for the city, and defended his nation, and was zealous for the law of God. + +** II Maccabees 4:3 + +But when the enmities proceeded so far, that murders also were committed by some of Simon's friends: + +** II Maccabees 4:4 + +Onias, considering the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, who was the governor of Celesyia, and Phenicia, was outrageous, which increased the malice of Simon, went to the king, + +** II Maccabees 4:5 + +Not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but with view to the common good of all the people. + +** II Maccabees 4:6 + +For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly. + +** II Maccabees 4:7 + +But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, who was called the Illustrious, had taken possession of the kingdom, Jason, the brother of Onias, ambitiously sought the high priesthood: + +** II Maccabees 4:8 + +And went to the king, promising him three hundred and sixty talents of silver, and out of other revenues fourscore talents. + +** II Maccabees 4:9 + +Besides this he promised also a hundred and fifty more, if he might have license to set him up a place for exercise, and a place for youth, and to entitle them that were at Jerusalem, Antiochians. + +** II Maccabees 4:10 + +Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten the rule into his hands, forthwith he began to bring over his countrymen to the fashion of the heathens. + +** II Maccabees 4:11 + +And abolishing those things, which had been decreed of special favour by the kings in behalf of the Jews, by the means of John, the father of that Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome to make amity and alliance, he disannulled the lawful ordinances of the citizens, and brought in fashions that were perverse. + +** II Maccabees 4:12 + +For he had the boldness to set up, under the very castle, a place of exercise, and to put all the choicest youths in brothel houses. + +** II Maccabees 4:13 + +Now this was not the beginning, but an increase, and progress of heathenish and foreign manners, through the abominable and unheard of wickedness of Jason, that impious wretch, and no priest. + +** II Maccabees 4:14 + +Insomuch that the priests were not now occupied about the offices of the altar, but despising the temple and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the games, and of the unlawful allowance thereof, and of the exercise of the discus. + +** II Maccabees 4:15 + +And setting nought by the honours of their fathers, they esteemed the Grecian glories for the best: + +** II Maccabees 4:16 + +For the sake of which they incurred a dangerous contention, and followed earnestly their ordinances, and in all things they coveted to be like them, who were their enemies and murderers. + +** II Maccabees 4:17 + +For acting wickedly against the laws of God doth not pass unpunished: but this the time following will declare. + +** II Maccabees 4:18 + +Now when the game that was used every fifth year was kept at Tyre, the king being present, + +** II Maccabees 4:19 + +The wicked Jason sent from Jerusalem sinful men, to carry three hundred didrachmas of silver for the sacrifice of Hercules; but the bearers thereof desired it might not be bestowed on the sacrifices, because it was not necessary, but might be deputed for other charges. + +** II Maccabees 4:20 + +So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys. + +** II Maccabees 4:21 + +Now when Apollonius, the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem. + +** II Maccabees 4:22 + +Where he was received in a magnificent manner by Jason, and the city, and came in with torch lights, and with praises, and from thence he returned with his army into Phenicia. + +** II Maccabees 4:23 + +Three years afterwards Jason sent Menelaus, brother of the aforesaid Simon, to carry money to the king, and to bring answers from him concerning certain necessary affairs. + +** II Maccabees 4:24 + +But he being recommended to the king, when he had magnified the appearance of his power, got the high priesthood for himself, by offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver. + +** II Maccabees 4:25 + +So having received the king's mandate, he returned, bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood: but having the mind of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast. + +** II Maccabees 4:26 + +Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being himself undermined, was driven out a fugitive into the country of the Ammonites. + +** II Maccabees 4:27 + +So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king, he took no care, when Sostratus, the governor of the castle, called for it. + +** II Maccabees 4:28 + +For to him appertained the gathering of the taxes: wherefore they were both called before the king. + +** II Maccabees 4:29 + +And Menelaus was removed from the priesthood, Lysimachus, his brother, succeeding: and Sostratus alas made governor of the Cyprians. + +** II Maccabees 4:30 + +When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus, and Mallos, raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochus, the king's concubine. + +** II Maccabees 4:31 + +The king, therefore, went in all haste to appease them, leaving Andronicus, one of his nobles, for his deputy. + +** II Maccabees 4:32 + +Then Menelaus supposing that he had found a convenient time, having stolen certain vessels of gold out of the temple, gave them to Andronicus, and others he had sold at Tyre, and in the neighbouring cities: + +** II Maccabees 4:33 + +Which when Onias understood most certainly, he reproved him, keeping himself in a safe place at Antioch, beside Daphne. + +** II Maccabees 4:34 + +Whereupon Menelaus coming to Andronicus, desired him to kill Onias. And he went to Onias, and gave him his right hand with an oath, and (though he were suspected by him) persuaded him to come forth out of the sanctuary, and immediately slew him, without any regard to justice. + +** II Maccabees 4:35 + +For which cause not only the Jews, but also the other nations, conceived indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of so great a man. + +** II Maccabees 4:36 + +And when the king was come back from the places of Cilicia, the Jews that were at Antioch, and also the Greeks, went to him: complaining of the unjust murder of Onias. + +** II Maccabees 4:37 + +Antiochus, therefore, was grieved in his mind for Onias, and being moved to pity, shed tears, remembering the sobriety and modesty of the deceased. + +** II Maccabees 4:38 + +And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment. + +** II Maccabees 4:39 + +Now when many sacrileges had been committed by Lysimachus in the temple, by the counsel of Menelaus, and the rumour of it was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, a great quantity of gold being already carried away. + +** II Maccabees 4:40 + +Wherefore the multitude making an insurrection, and their minds being filled with anger, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began to use violence, one Tyrannus being captain, a man far gone both in age and in madness. + +** II Maccabees 4:41 + +But when they perceived the attempt of Lysimachus, some caught up stones, some strong clubs, and some threw ashes upon Lysimachus. + +** II Maccabees 4:42 + +And many of them were wounded, and some struck down to the ground, but all were put to flight: and as for the sacrilegious fellow himself, they slew him beside the treasury. + +** II Maccabees 4:43 + +Now concerning these matters, an accusation was laid against Menelaus. + +** II Maccabees 4:44 + +And when the king was come to Tyre, three men were sent from the ancients to plead the cause before him. + +** II Maccabees 4:45 + +But Menelaus being convicted, promised Ptolemee to give him much money to persuade the king to favour him. + +** II Maccabees 4:46 + +So Ptolemee went to the king in a certain court where he was, as it were to cool himself, and brought him to be of another mind: + +** II Maccabees 4:47 + +So Menelaus, who was guilty of all the evil, was acquitted by him of the accusations: and those poor men, who, if they had pleaded their cause even before Scythians, should have been judged innocent, were condemned to death. + +** II Maccabees 4:48 + +Thus they that persecuted the cause for the city, and for the people, and the sacred vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment. + +** II Maccabees 4:49 + +Wherefore even the Tyrians, being moved with indignation, were very liberal towards their burial. + +** II Maccabees 4:50 + +And so through the covetousness of them that were in power, Menelaus continued in authority, increasing in malice to the betraying of the citizens. + +* II Maccabees 5 + +** II Maccabees 5:1 + +At the same time Antiochus prepared for a second journey into Egypt. + +** II Maccabees 5:2 + +And it came to pass, that through the whole city of Jerusalem, for the space of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in gilded raiment, and armed with spears, like bands of soldiers. + +** II Maccabees 5:3 + +And horses set in order by ranks, running one against another, with the shakings of shields, and a multitude of men in helmets, with drawn swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden armour, and of harnesses of all sorts. + +** II Maccabees 5:4 + +Wherefore all men prayed that these prodigies might turn to good. + +** II Maccabees 5:5 + +Now when there was gone forth a false rumour as though Antiochus had been dead, Jason taking with him no fewer than a thousand men, suddenly assaulted the city: and though the citizens ran together to the wall, the city at length was taken, and Menelaus fled into the castle. + +** II Maccabees 5:6 + +But Jason slew his countrymen without mercy, not considering that prosperity against one's own kindred is a very great evil, thinking they had been enemies, and not citizens, whom he conquered. + +** II Maccabees 5:7 + +Yet he did not get the principality, but received confusion at the end, for the reward of his treachery, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites. + +** II Maccabees 5:8 + +At the last, having been shut up by Aretas, the king of the Arabians, in order for his destruction, flying from city to city, hated by all men, as a forsaker of the laws and execrable, as an enemy of his country and countrymen, he was thrust out into Egypt: + +** II Maccabees 5:9 + +And he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, going to Lacedemon, as if for kindred sake he should have refuge there: + +** II Maccabees 5:10 + +But he that had cast out many unburied, was himself cast forth both unlamented and unburied, neither having foreign burial, nor being partaker of the sepulchre of his fathers. + +** II Maccabees 5:11 + +Now when these things were done, the king suspected that the Jews would forsake the alliance: whereupon departing out of Egypt with a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, + +** II Maccabees 5:12 + +And commanded the soldiers to kill, and not to spare any that came in their way, and to go up into the houses to slay. + +** II Maccabees 5:13 + +Thus there was a slaughter of young and old, destruction of women and children, and killing of virgins and infants. + +** II Maccabees 5:14 + +And there were slain in the space of three whole days fourscore thousand, forty thousand were made prisoners, and as many sold. + +** II Maccabees 5:15 + +But this was not enough, he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide. + +** II Maccabees 5:16 + +And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them. + +** II Maccabees 5:17 + +Thus Antiochus going astray in mind, did not consider that God was angry for a while, because of the sins of the inhabitants of the city: and therefore this contempt had happened to the place: + +** II Maccabees 5:18 + +Otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob the treasury, so this man also, as soon as he had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption. + +** II Maccabees 5:19 + +But God did not choose the people for the place's sake, but the place for the people's sake. + +** II Maccabees 5:20 + +And, therefore, the place also itself was made partaker of the evils of the people: but afterwards shall communicate in the good things thereof, and as it was forsaken in the wrath of Almighty God, shall be exalted again with great glory, when the great Lord shall be reconciled. + +** II Maccabees 5:21 + +So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind. + +** II Maccabees 5:22 + +He left also governors to afflict the people: at Jerusalem, Philip, a Phrygian by birth, but in manners more barbarous than he that set him there: + +** II Maccabees 5:23 + +And in Gazarim, Andronicus and Menelaus, who bore a more heavy hand upon the citizens than the rest. + +** II Maccabees 5:24 + +And whereas he was set against the Jews, he sent that hateful prince, Apollonius, with an army of two and twenty thousand men, commanding him to kill all that were of perfect age, and to sell the women and the younger sort. + +** II Maccabees 5:25 + +Who, when he was come to Jerusalem, pretending peace, rested till the holy day of the sabbath: and then the Jews keeping holiday, he commanded his men to take arms. + +** II Maccabees 5:26 + +And he slew all that were come forth to flee: and running through the city with armed men, he destroyed a very great multitude. + +** II Maccabees 5:27 + +But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution. + +* II Maccabees 6 + +** II Maccabees 6:1 + +But not long after the king sent a certain old man of Antioch, to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers and of God: + +** II Maccabees 6:2 + +And to defile the temple that was in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius: and that in Garazim of Jupiter Hospitalis, according as they were that inhabited the place. + +** II Maccabees 6:3 + +And very bad was this invasion of evils, and grievous to all. + +** II Maccabees 6:4 + +For the temple was full of the riot and revellings of the Gentiles: and of men lying with lewd women. And women thrust themselves of their accord into the holy places, and brought in things that were not lawful. + +** II Maccabees 6:5 + +The altar also was filled with unlawful things, which were forbidden by the laws. + +** II Maccabees 6:6 + +And neither were the sabbaths kept, nor the solemn days of the fathers observed, neither did any man plainly profess himself to be a Jew. + +** II Maccabees 6:7 + +But they were led by bitter constraint on the king's birthday to the sacrifices: and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, they were compelled to go about crowned with ivy in honour of Bacchus. + +** II Maccabees 6:8 + +And there went out a decree into the neighbouring cities of the Gentiles, by the suggestion of the Ptolemeans, that they also should act in like manner against the Jews, to oblige them to sacrifice: + +** II Maccabees 6:9 + +And whosoever would not conform themselves to the ways of the Gentiles, should be put to death: then was misery to be seen. + +** II Maccabees 6:10 + +For two women were accused to have circumcised their children: whom, when they had openly led about through the city, with the infants hanging at their breasts, they threw down headlong from the walls. + +** II Maccabees 6:11 + +And others that had met together in caves that were near, and were keeping the sabbath day privately, being discovered by Philip, were burnt with fire, because they made a conscience to help themselves with their hands, by reason of the religious observance of the day. + +** II Maccabees 6:12 + +Now I beseech those that shall read this book, that they be not shocked at these calamities, but that they consider the things that happened, not as being for the destruction, but for the correction of our nation. + +** II Maccabees 6:13 + +For it is a token of great goodness, when sinners are not suffered to go on in their ways for a long time, but are presently punished. + +** II Maccabees 6:14 + +For, not as with other nations, (whom the Lord patiently expecteth, that when the day of judgment shall come, he may punish them in the fulness of their sins:) + +** II Maccabees 6:15 + +Doth he also deal with us, so as to suffer our sins to come to their height, and then take vengeance on us. + +** II Maccabees 6:16 + +And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: but though he chastise his people with adversity he forsaketh them not. + +** II Maccabees 6:17 + +But let this suffice in a few words for a warning to the readers. And now we must come to the narration. + +** II Maccabees 6:18 + +Eleazar one of the chief of the scribes, a man advanced in years, and of a comely countenance, was pressed to open his mouth to eat swine's flesh. + +** II Maccabees 6:19 + +But he, choosing rather a most glorious death than a hateful life, went forward voluntarily to the torment. + +** II Maccabees 6:20 + +And considering in what manner he was to come to it, patiently bearing, he determined not to do any unlawful things for the love of life. + +** II Maccabees 6:21 + +But they that stood by, being moved with wicked pity, for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired that flesh might be brought which it was lawful for him to eat, that he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded, of the flesh of the sacrifice: + +** II Maccabees 6:22 + +That by so doing he might be delivered from death; and for the sake of their old friendship with the man, they did him this courtesy. + +** II Maccabees 6:23 + +But he began to consider the dignity of his age, and his ancient years, and the inbred honour of his grey head, and his good life and conversation from a child; and he answered without delay, according to the ordinances of the holy law made by God, saying, that he would rather be sent into the other world. + +** II Maccabees 6:24 + +For it doth not become our age, said he, to dissemble: whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, at the age of fourscore and ten years, was gone over to the life of the heathens: + +** II Maccabees 6:25 + +And so they, through my dissimulation, and for a little time of a corruptible life, should be deceived, and hereby I should bring a stain and a curse upon my old age. + +** II Maccabees 6:26 + +For though, for the present time, I should be delivered from the punishments of men, yet should I not escape the hand of the Almighty neither alive nor dead. + +** II Maccabees 6:27 + +Wherefore, by departing manfully out of this life, I shall shew myself worthy of my old age: + +** II Maccabees 6:28 + +And I shall leave an example of fortitude to young men, if with a ready mind and constancy I suffer an honourable death, for the most venerable and most holy laws. And having spoken thus, he was forthwith carried to execution. + +** II Maccabees 6:29 + +And they that led him, and had been a little before more mild, were changed to wrath for the words he had spoken, which they thought were uttered out of arrogancy. + +** II Maccabees 6:30 + +But when be was now ready to die with the stripes, he groaned: and said: O Lord, who hast the holy knowledge, thou knowest manifestly that whereas I might be delivered from death, I suffer grievous pains in body: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear thee. + +** II Maccabees 6:31 + +Thus did this man die, leaving not only to young men, but also to the whole nation, the memory of his death, for an example of virtue and fortitude. + +* II Maccabees 7 + +** II Maccabees 7:1 + +It came to pass also, that seven brethren, together with their mother, were apprehended, and compelled by the king to eat swine's flesh against the law, for which end they were tormented with whips and scourges. + +** II Maccabees 7:2 + +But one of them, who was the eldest, said thus: What wouldst thou ask, or learn of us? we are ready to die, rather than to transgress the laws of God, received from our fathers. + +** II Maccabees 7:3 + +Then the king being angry, commanded fryingpans and brazen caldrons to be made hot: which forthwith being heated, + +** II Maccabees 7:4 + +He commanded to cut out the tongue of him that had spoken first: and the skin of his head being drawn off, to chop off also the extremities of his hands and feet, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on. + +** II Maccabees 7:5 + +And when he was now maimed in all parts, he commanded him, being yet alive, to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the fryingpan: and while he was suffering therein long torments, the rest, together with the mother, exhorted one another to die manfully, + +** II Maccabees 7:6 + +Saying: The Lord God will look upon the truth, and will take pleasure in us, as Moses declared in the profession of the canticle; And in his servants he will take pleasure. + +** II Maccabees 7:7 + +So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the next to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him if he would eat, before he were punished throughout the whole body in every limb. + +** II Maccabees 7:8 + +But he answered in his own language, and said: I will not do it. Wherefore he also, in the next place, received the torments of the first: + +** II Maccabees 7:9 + +And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life. + +** II Maccabees 7:10 + +After him the third was made a mocking-stock, and when he was required, he quickly put forth his tongue, and courageously stretched out his hands: + +** II Maccabees 7:11 + +And said with confidence: These I have from heaven, but for the laws of God I now despise them, because I hope to receive them again from him. + +** II Maccabees 7:12 + +So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing. + +** II Maccabees 7:13 + +And after he was thus dead, they tormented the fourth in the like manner. + +** II Maccabees 7:14 + +And when he was now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him; for, as to thee, thou shalt have no resurrection unto life. + +** II Maccabees 7:15 + +And when they had brought the fifth, they tormented him. But he, looking upon the king, + +** II Maccabees 7:16 + +Said: Whereas thou hast power among men though thou art corruptible, thou dost what thou wilt but think not that our nation is forsaken by God. + +** II Maccabees 7:17 + +But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed. + +** II Maccabees 7:18 + +After him they brought the sixth, and he being ready to die, spoke thus: Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God, and things worthy of admiration are done to us: + +** II Maccabees 7:19 + +But do not think that thou shalt escape unpunished, for that thou hast attempted to fight against God. + +** II Maccabees 7:20 + +Now the mother was to be admired above measure, and worthy to be remembered by good men, who beheld her seven sons slain in the space of one day, and bore it with a good courage, for the hope that she had in God: + +** II Maccabees 7:21 + +And she bravely exhorted every one of them in her own language, being filled with wisdom; and joining a man's heart to a woman's thought, + +** II Maccabees 7:22 + +She said to them: I know not how you were formed in my womb; for I neither gave you breath, nor soul, nor life, neither did I frame the limbs of every one of you. + +** II Maccabees 7:23 + +But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again, in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws. + +** II Maccabees 7:24 + +Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary. + +** II Maccabees 7:25 + +But when the young man was not moved with these things, the king called the mother, and counselled her to deal with the young man to save his life. + +** II Maccabees 7:26 + +And when he had exhorted her with many words she promised that she would counsel her son. + +** II Maccabees 7:27 + +So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said in her own language: My son have pity upon me, that bore thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age. + +** II Maccabees 7:28 + +I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them, and consider that God made them out of nothing, and mankind also: + +** II Maccabees 7:29 + +So thou shalt not fear this tormentor, but being made a worthy partner with thy brethren, receive death, that in that mercy I may receive thee again with thy brethren. + +** II Maccabees 7:30 + +While she was yet speaking these words, the young man said: For whom do you stay? I will not obey the commandment of the king, but the commandment of the law which was given us by Moses. + +** II Maccabees 7:31 + +But thou that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hand of God. + +** II Maccabees 7:32 + +For we suffer thus for our sins. + +** II Maccabees 7:33 + +And though the Lord, our God, is angry with us a little while, for our chastisement and correction, yet he will be reconciled again to his servants. + +** II Maccabees 7:34 + +But thou, O wicked, and of all men most flagitious, be not lifted up without cause with vain hopes, whilst thou art raging against his servants. + +** II Maccabees 7:35 + +For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of the Almighty God, who beholdeth all things. + +** II Maccabees 7:36 + +For my brethren having now undergone a short pain, are under the covenant of eternal life: but thou, by the judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride. + +** II Maccabees 7:37 + +But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God. + +** II Maccabees 7:38 + +But in me, and in my brethren, the wrath of the Almighty, which hath justly been brought upon all our nation, shall cease. + +** II Maccabees 7:39 + +Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked. + +** II Maccabees 7:40 + +So this man also died undefiled, wholly trusting in the Lord. + +** II Maccabees 7:41 + +And last of all, after the sons, the mother also was consumed. + +** II Maccabees 7:42 + +But now there is enough said of the sacrifices and of the excessive cruelties. + +* II Maccabees 8 + +** II Maccabees 8:1 + +But Judas Machabeus, and they that were with him, went privately into the towns: and calling together their kinsmen and friends, and taking unto them such as continued in the Jews' religion, they assembled six thousand men. + +** II Maccabees 8:2 + +And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon his people that was trodden down by all and would have pity on the temple, that was defiled by the wicked: + +** II Maccabees 8:3 + +That he would have pity also upon the city that was destroyed, that was ready to be made even with the ground, and would hear the voice of the blood that cried to him: + +** II Maccabees 8:4 + +That he would remember also the most unjust deaths of innocent children, and the blasphemies offered to his name, and would shew his indignation on this occasion. + +** II Maccabees 8:5 + +Now when Machabeus had gathered a multitude, he could not be withstood by the heathens: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy. + +** II Maccabees 8:6 + +So coming unawares upon the towns and cities, he set them on fire, and taking possession of the most commodious places, he made no small slaughter of the enemies: + +** II Maccabees 8:7 + +And especially in the nights he went upon these expeditions, and the fame of his valour was spread abroad every where. + +** II Maccabees 8:8 + +Then Philip seeing that the man gained ground by little and little, and that things for the most part succeeded prosperously with him, wrote to Ptolemee, the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, to send aid to the king's affairs. + +** II Maccabees 8:9 + +And he with all speed sent Nicanor, the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, giving him no fewer than twenty thousand armed men of different nations, to root out the whole race of the Jews, joining also with him Gorgias, a good soldier, and of great experience in matters of war. + +** II Maccabees 8:10 + +And Nicanor purposed to raise for the king the tribute of two thousand talents, that was to be given to the Romans, by making so much money of the captive Jews: + +** II Maccabees 8:11 + +Wherefore he sent immediately to the cities upon the sea coast, to invite men together to buy up the Jewish slaves, promising that they should have ninety slaves for one talent, not reflecting on the vengeance which was to follow him from the Almighty. + +** II Maccabees 8:12 + +Now when Judas found that Nicanor was coming, he imparted to the Jews that were with him, that the enemy was at hand. + +** II Maccabees 8:13 + +And some of them being afraid, and distrusting the justice of God, fled away. + +** II Maccabees 8:14 + +Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord, that he would deliver them from the wicked Nicanor, who had sold them before he came near them: + +** II Maccabees 8:15 + +And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them. + +** II Maccabees 8:16 + +But Machabeus calling together seven thousand that were with him, exhorted them not to be reconciled to the enemies, nor to fear the multitude of the enemies who came wrongfully against them, but to fight manfully: + +** II Maccabees 8:17 + +Setting before their eyes the injury they had unjustly done the holy place, and also the injury they had done to the city, which had been shamefully abused, besides their destroying the ordinances of the fathers. + +** II Maccabees 8:18 + +For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world. + +** II Maccabees 8:19 + +Moreover, he put them in mind also of the helps their fathers had received from God: and how, under Sennacherib, a hundred and eighty-five thousand had been destroyed. + +** II Maccabees 8:20 + +And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians, in Babylonia; how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and the Macedonians, their companions, were at a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours. + +** II Maccabees 8:21 + +With these words they were greatly encouraged and disposed even to die for the laws and their country. + +** II Maccabees 8:22 + +So he appointed his brethren captains over each division of his army; Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving to each one fifteen hundred men. + +** II Maccabees 8:23 + +And after the holy book had been read to them by Esdras, and he had given them for a watchword, The help of God: himself leading the first band, he joined battle with Nicanor: + +** II Maccabees 8:24 + +And the Almighty being their helper, they slew above nine thousand men: and having wounded and disabled the greater part of Nicanor's army, they obliged them to fly. + +** II Maccabees 8:25 + +And they took the money of them that came to buy them, and they pursued them on every side. + +** II Maccabees 8:26 + +But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit. + +** II Maccabees 8:27 + +But when they had gathered together their arms and their spoils, they kept the sabbath: blessing the Lord who had delivered them that day, distilling the beginning of mercy upon them. + +** II Maccabees 8:28 + +Then after the sabbath they divided the spoils to the feeble and the orphans, and the widows, and the rest they took for themselves and their servants. + +** II Maccabees 8:29 + +When this was done, and they had all made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord, to be reconciled to his servants unto the end. + +** II Maccabees 8:30 + +Moreover, they slew above twenty thousand of them that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, and they made themselves masters of the high strong holds: and they divided amongst them many spoils, giving equal portions to the feeble, the fatherless, and the widows; yea, and the aged also + +** II Maccabees 8:31 + +And when they had carefully gathered together their arms, they laid them all up in convenient places, and the residue of their spoils they carried to Jerusalem: + +** II Maccabees 8:32 + +They slew also Philarches, who was with Timotheus, a wicked man, who had many ways afflicted the Jews. + +** II Maccabees 8:33 + +And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties: + +** II Maccabees 8:34 + +But as for that most wicked man, Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to the sale of the Jews, + +** II Maccabees 8:35 + +Being, through the help of the Lord, brought down by them, of whom he had made no account, laying aside his garment of glory, fleeing through the midland country, he came alone to Antioch, being rendered very unhappy by the destruction of his army. + +** II Maccabees 8:36 + +And he that had promised to levy the tribute for the Romans, by the means of the captives of Jerusalem, now professed that the Jews had God for their protector, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws appointed by him. + +* II Maccabees 9 + +** II Maccabees 9:1 + +At that time Antiochus returned with dishonour out of Persia. + +** II Maccabees 9:2 + +For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city, but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight, returned with disgrace. + +** II Maccabees 9:3 + +Now when he was come about Ecbatana, he received the news of what had happened to Nicanor and Timotheus. + +** II Maccabees 9:4 + +And swelling with anger, he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. + +** II Maccabees 9:5 + +But the Lord, the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts. + +** II Maccabees 9:6 + +And indeed very justly, seeing he had tormented the bowels of others with many and new torments, albeit he by no means ceased from his malice. + +** II Maccabees 9:7 + +Moreover, being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence, that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body. + +** II Maccabees 9:8 + +Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself: + +** II Maccabees 9:9 + +So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army. + +** II Maccabees 9:10 + +And the man that thought a little before he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench. + +** II Maccabees 9:11 + +And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment. + +** II Maccabees 9:12 + +And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God. + +** II Maccabees 9:13 + +Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord, of whom he was not like to obtain mercy. + +** II Maccabees 9:14 + +And the city, to which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common burying place, he now desireth to make free: + +** II Maccabees 9:15 + +And the Jews, whom he said he would not account worthy to be so much as buried, but would give them up to be devoured by the birds and wild beasts, and would utterly destroy them with their children, he now promiseth to make equal with the Athenians. + +** II Maccabees 9:16 + +The holy temple also, which before he had spoiled, he promised to adorn with goodly gifts, and to multiply the holy vessels, and to allow out of his revenues the charges pertaining to the sacrifices. + +** II Maccabees 9:17 + +Yea also, that he would become a Jew himself, and would go through every place of the earth, and declare the power of God. + +** II Maccabees 9:18 + +But his pains not ceasing, (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life, he wrote to the Jews, in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words: + +** II Maccabees 9:19 + +To his very good subjects the Jews, Antiochus, king and ruler, wisheth much health, and welfare, and happiness. + +** II Maccabees 9:20 + +If you and your children are well, and if all matters go with you to your mind, we give very great thanks. + +** II Maccabees 9:21 + +As for me, being infirm, but yet kindly remembering you, returning out of the places of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to take care for the common good: + +** II Maccabees 9:22 + +Not distrusting my life, but having great hope to escape the sickness. + +** II Maccabees 9:23 + +But considering that my father also, at what time he led an army into the higher countries, appointed who should reign after him: + +** II Maccabees 9:24 + +To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or any bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled. + +** II Maccabees 9:25 + +Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes, and borderers, wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son, Antiochus, king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the higher provinces: and I have written to him what I have joined here below. + +** II Maccabees 9:26 + +I pray you, therefore, and request of you, that, remembering favours both public and private, you will every man of you continue to be faithful to me and to my son. + +** II Maccabees 9:27 + +For I trust that he will behave with moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you. + +** II Maccabees 9:28 + +Thus the murderer and blasphemer being grievously struck, as himself had treated others, died a miserable death in a strange country, among the mountains. + +** II Maccabees 9:29 + +But Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body: and out of fear of the son of Antiochus, went into Egypt to Ptolemee Philometor. + +* II Maccabees 10 + +** II Maccabees 10:1 + +But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again. + +** II Maccabees 10:2 + +But he threw down the altars which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols. + +** II Maccabees 10:3 + +And having purified the temple, they made another altar: and taking fire out of the fiery stones, they offered sacrifices after two years, and set forth incense, and lamps, and the loaves of proposition. + +** II Maccabees 10:4 + +And when they had done these things, they besought the Lord, lying prostrate on the ground, that they might no more fall into such evils; but if they should at any time sin, that they might be chastised by him more gently, and not be delivered up to barbarians and blasphemous men. + +** II Maccabees 10:5 + +Now upon the same day that the temple had been polluted by the strangers on the very same day it was cleansed again; to wit, on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu. + +** II Maccabees 10:6 + +And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts. + +** II Maccabees 10:7 + +Therefore they now carried boughs and green branches and palms, for him that had given them good success in cleansing his place. + +** II Maccabees 10:8 + +And they ordained by a common statute, and decree, that all the nation of the Jews should keep those days every year. + +** II Maccabees 10:9 + +And this was the end of Antiochus, that was called the Illustrious. + +** II Maccabees 10:10 + +But now we will repeat the acts of Eupator, the son of that wicked Antiochus, abridging the account of the evils that happened in the wars. + +** II Maccabees 10:11 + +For when he was come to the crown, he appointed over the affairs of his realm one Lysias, general of the army of Phenicia and Syria. + +** II Maccabees 10:12 + +For Ptolemee, that was called Macer, was determined to be strictly just to the Jews and especially by reason of the wrong that had been done them, and to deal peaceably with them. + +** II Maccabees 10:13 + +But being accused for this to Eupator by his friends, and being oftentimes called traitor, because he had left Cyprus, which Philometor had committed to him, and coming over to Antiochus the Illustrious, had revolted also from him, he put an end to his life by poison. + +** II Maccabees 10:14 + +But Gorgias, who was governor of the holds, taking with him the strangers, often fought against the Jews. + +** II Maccabees 10:15 + +And the Jews that occupied the most commodious holds, received those that were driven out of Jerusalem, and attempted to make war. + +** II Maccabees 10:16 + +Then they that were with Machabeus, beseeching the Lord by prayers to be their helper, made a strong attack upon the strong holds of the Idumeans: + +** II Maccabees 10:17 + +And assaulting them with great force, won the holds, killed them that came in the way, and slew altogether no fewer than twenty thousand. + +** II Maccabees 10:18 + +And whereas some were fled into very strong towers, having all manner of provision to sustain a siege, + +** II Maccabees 10:19 + +Machabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zacheus, and them that were with them, in sufficient number to besiege them, and departed to those expeditions which urged more. + +** II Maccabees 10:20 + +Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape. + +** II Maccabees 10:21 + +But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape. + +** II Maccabees 10:22 + +So he put these traitors to death, and forthwith took the two towers. + +** II Maccabees 10:23 + +And having good success in arms, and all things he took in hand, he slew more than twenty thousand in the two holds. + +** II Maccabees 10:24 + +But Timotheus, who before had been overcome by the Jews, having called together a multitude of foreign troops, and assembled horsemen out of Asia, came as though he would take Judea by force of arms. + +** II Maccabees 10:25 + +But Machabeus, and they that were with him, when he drew near, prayed to the Lord, sprinkling earth upon their heads, and girding their loins with haircloth, + +** II Maccabees 10:26 + +And lying prostrate at the foot of the altar, besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law saith. + +** II Maccabees 10:27 + +And so after prayer taking their arms, they went forth further from the city, and when they were come very near the enemies they rested. + +** II Maccabees 10:28 + +But as soon as the sun was risen both sides joined battle: the one part having, with their valour, the Lord for a surety of victory, and success: but the other side making their rage their leader in battle. + +** II Maccabees 10:29 + +But when they were in the heat of the engagement, there appeared to the enemies from heaven five men upon horses, comely, with golden bridles, conducting the Jews: + +** II Maccabees 10:30 + +Two of them took Machabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their arms, and kept him safe; but cast darts and fireballs against the enemy, so that they fell down, being both confounded with blindness, and filled with trouble. + +** II Maccabees 10:31 + +And there were slain twenty thousand five hundred, and six hundred horsemen. + +** II Maccabees 10:32 + +But Timotheus fled into Gazara, a strong hold where Chereas was governor. + +** II Maccabees 10:33 + +Then Machabeus, and they that were with him cheerfully laid siege to the fortress four days. + +** II Maccabees 10:34 + +But they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and cast forth abominable words. + +** II Maccabees 10:35 + +But when the fifth day appeared, twenty young men of them that were with Machabeus, inflamed in their minds, because of the blasphemy, approached manfully to the wall, and pushing forward with fierce courage, got up upon it: + +** II Maccabees 10:36 + +Moreover, others also getting up after them, went to set fire to the towers and the gates, and to burn the blasphemers alive. + +** II Maccabees 10:37 + +And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes. + +** II Maccabees 10:38 + +And when this was done, they blessed the Lord with hymns and thanksgiving, who had done great things in Israel, and given them the victory. + +* II Maccabees 11 + +** II Maccabees 11:1 + +A short time after this Lysias, the king's lieutenant, and cousin, and who had chief charge over all the affairs, being greatly displeased with what had happened, + +** II Maccabees 11:2 + +Gathered together fourscore thousand men, and all the horsemen, and came against the Jews, thinking to take the city, and make it a habitation of the Gentiles: + +** II Maccabees 11:3 + +And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other temples of the Gentiles and to set the high priesthood to sale every year: + +** II Maccabees 11:4 + +Never considering the power of God, but puffed up in mind, and trusting in the multitude of his foot soldiers, and the thousands of his horsemen, and his fourscore elephants. + +** II Maccabees 11:5 + +So he came into Judea, and approaching to Bethsura, which was in a narrow place, the space of five furlongs from Jerusalem, he laid siege to that fortress. + +** II Maccabees 11:6 + +But when Machabeus, and they that were with him, understood that the strong holds were besieged, they and all the people besought the Lord with lamentations and tears, that he would send a good angel to save Israel. + +** II Maccabees 11:7 + +Then Machabeus himself first taking his arms, exhorted the rest to expose themselves together with him, to the danger, and to succour their brethren. + +** II Maccabees 11:8 + +And when they were going forth together with a willing mind, there appeared at Jerusalem a horseman going before them in white clothing, with golden armour, shaking a spear. + +** II Maccabees 11:9 + +Then they all together blessed the merciful Lord, and took great courage: being ready to break through not only men, but also the fiercest beasts, and walls of iron. + +** II Maccabees 11:10 + +So they went on courageously, having a helper from heaven, and the Lord, who shewed mercy to them. + +** II Maccabees 11:11 + +And rushing violently upon the enemy, like lions, they slew of them eleven thousand footmen, and one thousand six hundred horsemen: + +** II Maccabees 11:12 + +And put all the rest to flight; and many of them being wounded, escaped naked: Yea, and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and escaped. + +** II Maccabees 11:13 + +And as he was a man of understanding, considering with himself the loss he had suffered, and perceiving that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because they relied upon the help of the Almighty God, he sent to them: + +** II Maccabees 11:14 + +And promised that he would agree to all things that are just, and that he would persuade the king to be their friend. + +** II Maccabees 11:15 + +Then Machabeus consented to the request of Lysias, providing for the common good in all things; and whatsoever Machabeus wrote to Lysias, concerning the Jews, the king allowed of. + +** II Maccabees 11:16 + +For there were letters written to the Jews from Lysias, to this effect: Lysias, to the people of the Jews, greeting. + +** II Maccabees 11:17 + +John, and Abesalom, who were sent from you, delivering your writings, requested that I would accomplish those things which were signified by them. + +** II Maccabees 11:18 + +Therefore whatsoever things could be reported to the king, I have represented to him: and he hath granted as much as the matter permitted. + +** II Maccabees 11:19 + +If, therefore, you will keep yourselves loyal in affairs, hereafter also I will endeavour to be a means of your good. + +** II Maccabees 11:20 + +But as concerning other particulars, I have given orders by word both to these, and to them that are sent by me, to commune with you. + +** II Maccabees 11:21 + +Fare ye well. In the year one hundred and forty-eight, the four and twentieth day of the month of Dioscorus. + +** II Maccabees 11:22 + +But the king's letter contained these words King Antiochus to Lysias, his brother, greeting. + +** II Maccabees 11:23 + +Our father being translated amongst the gods we are desirous that they that are in our realm should live quietly, and apply themselves diligently to their own concerns. + +** II Maccabees 11:24 + +And we have heard that the Jews would not consent to my father to turn to the rites of the Greeks but that they would keep to their own manner of living and therefore that they request us to allow them to live after their own laws. + +** II Maccabees 11:25 + +Wherefore being desirous that this nation also should be at rest, we have ordained and decreed, that the temple should be restored to them, and that they may live according to the custom of their ancestors. + +** II Maccabees 11:26 + +Thou shalt do well, therefore, to send to them, and grant them peace, that our pleasure being known, they may be of good comfort, and look to their own affairs. + +** II Maccabees 11:27 + +But the king's letter to the Jews was in this manner: King Antiochus to the senate of the Jews, and to the rest of the Jews, greeting. + +** II Maccabees 11:28 + +If you are well, you are as we desire: we ourselves also are well. + +** II Maccabees 11:29 + +Menelaus came to us, saying that you desired to come down to your countrymen, that are with us. + +** II Maccabees 11:30 + +We grant, therefore, a safe conduct to all that come and go, until the thirtieth day of the month of Xanthicus, + +** II Maccabees 11:31 + +That the Jews may use their own kind of meats, and their own laws, as before: and that none of them any manner of ways be molested for things which have been done by ignorance. + +** II Maccabees 11:32 + +And we have sent also Menelaus to speak to you. + +** II Maccabees 11:33 + +Fare ye well. In the year one hundred and forty-eight, the fifteenth day of the month of Xanthicus. + +** II Maccabees 11:34 + +The Romans also sent them a letter, to this effect: Quintus Memmius, and Titus Manilius, ambassadors of the Romans, to the people of the Jews, greeting. + +** II Maccabees 11:35 + +Whatsoever Lysias, the king's cousin, hath granted to you, we also have granted. + +** II Maccabees 11:36 + +But touching such things as he thought should be referred to the king, after you have diligently conferred among yourselves, send some one forthwith, that we may decree as it is convenient for you: for we are going to Antioch. + +** II Maccabees 11:37 + +And therefore make haste to write back, that we may know of what mind you are. + +** II Maccabees 11:38 + +Fare ye well. In the year one hundred and forty-eight, the fifteenth day of the month of Xanthicus. + +* II Maccabees 12 + +** II Maccabees 12:1 + +When these covenants were made, Lysias went to the king, and the Jews gave themselves to husbandry. + +** II Maccabees 12:2 + +But they that were behind, viz. Timotheus, and Apollonius, the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and besides them Nicanor, the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to live in peace, and to be quiet. + +** II Maccabees 12:3 + +The men of Joppe also were guilty of this kind of wickedness: they desired the Jews, who dwelt among them, to go with their wives and children into the boats, which they had prepared, as though they had no enmity to them. + +** II Maccabees 12:4 + +Which when they had consented to, according to the common decree of the city, suspecting nothing, because of the peace: when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned no fewer than two hundred of them. + +** II Maccabees 12:5 + +But as soon as Judas heard of this cruelty done to his countrymen, he commanded the men that were with him: and after having called upon God, the just judge, + +** II Maccabees 12:6 + +He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire. + +** II Maccabees 12:7 + +And when he had done these things in this manner, he departed as if he would return again, and root out all the Joppites. + +** II Maccabees 12:8 + +But when he understood that the men of Jamnia also designed to do in like manner to the Jews that dwelt among them, + +** II Maccabees 12:9 + +He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set the haven on fire, with the ships, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem, two hundred and forty furlongs off. + +** II Maccabees 12:10 + +And when they were now gone from thence nine furlongs, and were marching towards Timotheus, five thousand footmen, and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians, set upon them. + +** II Maccabees 12:11 + +And after a hard fight, in which, by the help of God, they got the victory, the rest of the Arabians being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising to give him pastures, and to assist him in other things. + +** II Maccabees 12:12 + +And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents. + +** II Maccabees 12:13 + +He also laid siege to a certain strong city, encompassed with bridges and walls, and inhabited by multitudes of different nations, the name of which is Casphin. + +** II Maccabees 12:14 + +But they that were within it, trusting in the strength of the walls, and the provision of victuals, behaved in a more negligent manner, and provoked Judas with railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken. + +** II Maccabees 12:15 + +But Machabeus calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without any rams or engines of war threw down the walls of Jericho, in the time of Josue, fiercely assaulted the walls. + +** II Maccabees 12:16 + +And having taken the city by the will of the Lord, he made an unspeakable slaughter, so that a pool adjoining, of two furlongs broad, seemed to run with the blood of the slain. + +** II Maccabees 12:17 + +From thence they departed seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa, to the Jews that are called Tubianites. + +** II Maccabees 12:18 + +But as for Timotheus, they found him not in those places, for before he had dispatched any thing he went back, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold: + +** II Maccabees 12:19 + +But Dositheus, and Sosipater, who were captains with Machabeus, slew them that were left by Timotheus in the hold, to the number of ten thousand men. + +** II Maccabees 12:20 + +And Machabeus having set in order about him six thousand men, and divided them by bands, went forth against Timotheus, who had with him a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two thousand five hundred horsemen. + +** II Maccabees 12:21 + +Now when Timotheus had knowledge of the coming of Judas, he sent the women and children, and the other baggage, before him into a fortress, called Carnion: for it was impregnable, and hard to come at, by reason of the straitness of the places. + +** II Maccabees 12:22 + +But when the first band of Judas came in sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God, who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another, so that they were often thrown down by their own companions, and wounded with the strokes of their own swords. + +** II Maccabees 12:23 + +But Judas pursued them close, punishing the profane, of whom he slew thirty thousand men. + +** II Maccabees 12:24 + +And Timotheus himself fell into the hands of the band of Dositheus and Sosipater, and with many prayers he besought them to let him go with his life, because he had the parents and brethren of many of the Jews, who, by his death, might happen to be deceived. + +** II Maccabees 12:25 + +And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren. + +** II Maccabees 12:26 + +Then Judas went away to Carnion, where he slew five and twenty thousand persons. + +** II Maccabees 12:27 + +And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls, made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts. + +** II Maccabees 12:28 + +But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city: and slew five and twenty thousand of them that were within. + +** II Maccabees 12:29 + +From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem. + +** II Maccabees 12:30 + +But the Jews that were among the Scythopolitans testifying that they were used kindly by them, and that even in the times of their adversity they had treated them with humanity: + +** II Maccabees 12:31 + +They gave them thanks, exhorting them to be still friendly to their nation, and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks being at hand. + +** II Maccabees 12:32 + +And after Pentecost they marched against Gorgias, the governor of Idumea. + +** II Maccabees 12:33 + +And he came out with three thousand footmen and four hundred horsemen. + +** II Maccabees 12:34 + +And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain. + +** II Maccabees 12:35 + +But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa. + +** II Maccabees 12:36 + +But when they that were with Esdrin had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper, and leader of the battle: + +** II Maccabees 12:37 + +Then beginning in his own language, and singing hymns with a loud voice, he put Gorgias's soldiers to flight. + +** II Maccabees 12:38 + +So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the same place. + +** II Maccabees 12:39 + +And the day following Judas came with his company, to take away the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen, in the sepulchres of their fathers. + +** II Maccabees 12:40 + +And they found under the coats of the slain, some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews: so that all plainly saw, that for this cause they were slain. + +** II Maccabees 12:41 + +Then they all blessed the just judgment of the Lord, who had discovered the things that were hidden. + +** II Maccabees 12:42 + +And so betaking themselves to prayers, they besought him, that the sin which had been committed might be forgotten. But the most valiant Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forasmuch as they saw before their eyes what had happened, because of the sins of those that were slain. + +** II Maccabees 12:43 + +And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection. + +** II Maccabees 12:44 + +(For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,) + +** II Maccabees 12:45 + +And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them. + +** II Maccabees 12:46 + +It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. + +* II Maccabees 13 + +** II Maccabees 13:1 + +In the year one hundred and forty-nine, Judas understood that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a multitude against Judea, + +** II Maccabees 13:2 + +And with him Lysias, the regent, who had charge over the affairs of the realm, having with him a hundred and ten thousand footmen, five thousand horsemen, twenty-two elephants, and three hundred chariots. + +** II Maccabees 13:3 + +Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler. + +** II Maccabees 13:4 + +But the King of kings stirred up the mind of Antiochus against the sinner, and upon Lysias suggesting that he was the cause of all the evils, he commanded (as the custom is with them) that he should be apprehended and put to death in the same place. + +** II Maccabees 13:5 + +Now there was in that place a tower fifty cubits high, having a heap of ashes on every side: this had a prospect steep down. + +** II Maccabees 13:6 + +From thence he commanded the sacrilegious wretch to be thrown down into the ashes, all men thrusting him forward unto death. + +** II Maccabees 13:7 + +And by such a law it happened that Menelaus the transgressor of the law, was put to death: not having so much as burial in the earth. + +** II Maccabees 13:8 + +And indeed very justly, for insomuch as he had committed many sins against the altar of God, the fire and ashes of which were holy: he was condemned to die in ashes. + +** II Maccabees 13:9 + +But the king, with his mind full of rage, came on to shew himself worse to the Jews than his father was. + +** II Maccabees 13:10 + +Which when Judas understood, he commanded the people to call upon the Lord day and night, that as he had always done, so now also he would help them: + +** II Maccabees 13:11 + +Because they were afraid to be deprived of the law, and of their country, and of the holy temple: and that he would not suffer the people, that had of late taken breath for a little while, to be again in subjection to blasphemous nations. + +** II Maccabees 13:12 + +So when they had all done this together, and had craved mercy of the Lord with weeping and fasting, lying prostrate on the ground for three days continually, Judas exhorted them to make themselves ready. + +** II Maccabees 13:13 + +But he, with the ancients, determined before the king should bring his army into Judea, and make himself master of the city, to go out, and to commit the event of the thing to the judgment of the Lord. + +** II Maccabees 13:14 + +So committing all to God, the Creator of the world, and having exhorted his people to fight manfully, and to stand up even to death for the laws, the temple, the city, their country, and citizens: he placed his army about Modin. + +** II Maccabees 13:15 + +And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him, + +** II Maccabees 13:16 + +And having filled the camp of the enemies with exceeding great fear and tumult, they went off with good success. + +** II Maccabees 13:17 + +Now this was done at the break of day, by the protection and help of the Lord. + +** II Maccabees 13:18 + +But the king having taken a taste of the hardiness of the Jews, attempted to take the strong places by policy: + +** II Maccabees 13:19 + +And he marched with his army to Bethsura, which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was repulsed, he failed, he lost his men. + +** II Maccabees 13:20 + +Now Judas sent necessaries to them that were within + +** II Maccabees 13:21 + +But Rhodocus, one of the Jews' army, disclosed the secrets to the enemies, so he was sought out, and taken up, and put in prison. + +** II Maccabees 13:22 + +Again the king treated with them that were in Bethsura: gave his right hand: took theirs: and went away. + +** II Maccabees 13:23 + +He fought with Judas: and was overcome. And when he understood that Philip, who had been left over the affairs, had rebelled at Antioch, he was in a consternation of mind, and entreating the Jews, and yielding to them, he swore to all things that seemed reasonable, and, being reconciled, offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and left gifts. + +** II Maccabees 13:24 + +He embraced Machabeus, and made him governor and prince from Ptolemais unto the Gerrenians. + +** II Maccabees 13:25 + +But when he was come to Ptolemais, the men of that city were much displeased with the conditions of the peace, being angry for fear they should break the covenant. + +** II Maccabees 13:26 + +Then Lysias went up to the judgment seat, and set forth the reason, and appeased the people, and returned to Antioch: and thus matters went with regard to the king's coming and his return. + +* II Maccabees 14 + +** II Maccabees 14:1 + +But after the space of three years Judas, and they that were with him, understood that Demetrius, the son of Seleucus, was come up with a great power, and a navy by the haven of Tripolis, to places proper for his purpose, + +** II Maccabees 14:2 + +And had made himself master of the countries against Antiochus, and his general, Lysias. + +** II Maccabees 14:3 + +Now one Alcimus, who had been chief priest, but had wilfully defiled himself in the time of mingling with the heathens, seeing that there was no safety for him, nor access to the altar, + +** II Maccabees 14:4 + +Came to king Demetrius in the year one hundred and fifty, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and besides these, some boughs that seemed to belong to the temple. And that day indeed he held his peace. + +** II Maccabees 14:5 + +But having gotten a convenient time to further his madness, being called to counsel by Demetrius, and asked what the Jews relied upon, and what were their counsels, + +** II Maccabees 14:6 + +He answered thereunto: They among the Jews that are called Assideans, of whom Judas Machabeus is captain, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not suffer the realm to be in peace. + +** II Maccabees 14:7 + +For I also being deprived of my ancestor's glory (I mean of the high priesthood) am now come hither: + +** II Maccabees 14:8 + +Principally indeed out of fidelity to the king's interests, but in the next place also to provide for the good of my countrymen: for all our nation suffereth much from the evil proceedings of these men. + +** II Maccabees 14:9 + +Wherefore, O king, seeing thou knowest all these things, take care, I beseech thee, both of the country, and of our nation, according to thy humanity which is known to all men. + +** II Maccabees 14:10 + +For as long as Judas liveth it is not possible that the state should be quiet. + +** II Maccabees 14:11 + +Now when this man had spoken to this effect the rest also of the king's friends, who were enemies of Judas, incensed Demetrius against him. + +** II Maccabees 14:12 + +And forthwith he sent Nicanor, the commander over the elephants, governor into Judea: + +** II Maccabees 14:13 + +Giving him in charge, to take Judas himself: and disperse all them that were with him, and to make Alcimus the high priest of the great temple. + +** II Maccabees 14:14 + +Then the Gentiles who had fled out of Judea, from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the miseries and calamities of the Jews to be the welfare of their affairs. + +** II Maccabees 14:15 + +Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs. + +** II Maccabees 14:16 + +Then at the commandment of their captain, they forthwith removed from the place where they were, and went to the town of Dessau, to meet them. + +** II Maccabees 14:17 + +Now Simon, the brother of Judas, had joined battle with Nicanor: but was frightened with the sudden coming of the adversaries. + +** II Maccabees 14:18 + +Nevertheless Nicanor hearing of the valour of Judas's companions, and the greatness of courage, with which they fought for their country, was afraid to try the matter by the sword. + +** II Maccabees 14:19 + +Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotius and Matthias before to present and receive the right hands. + +** II Maccabees 14:20 + +And when there had been a consultation thereupon, and the captain had acquainted the multitude with it, they were all of one mind to consent to covenants. + +** II Maccabees 14:21 + +So they appointed a day upon which they might come together by themselves: and seats were brought out, and set for each one. + +** II Maccabees 14:22 + +But Judas ordered armed men to be ready in convenient places, lest some mischief might be suddenly practised by the enemies: so they made an agreeable conference. + +** II Maccabees 14:23 + +And Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no wrong, but sent away the flocks of the multitudes that had been gathered together. + +** II Maccabees 14:24 + +And Judas was always dear to him from the heart, and he was well affected to the man. + +** II Maccabees 14:25 + +And he desired him to marry a wife, and to have children. So he married: he lived quietly, and they lived in common. + +** II Maccabees 14:26 + +But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor had assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor. + +** II Maccabees 14:27 + +Then the king, being in a rage, and provoked with this man's wicked accusation, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch. + +** II Maccabees 14:28 + +When this was known, Nicanor was in a consternation, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles that were agreed upon, having received no injury from the man. + +** II Maccabees 14:29 + +But because he could not oppose the king, he watched an opportunity to comply with the orders + +** II Maccabees 14:30 + +But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner; and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor. + +** II Maccabees 14:31 + +But he finding himself notably prevented by the man, came to the great and holy temple: and commanded the priests that were offering the accustomed sacrifices, to deliver him the man. + +** II Maccabees 14:32 + +And when they swore unto him, that they knew not where the man was whom he sought, he stretched out his hand to the temple, + +** II Maccabees 14:33 + +And swore, saying: Unless you deliver Judas prisoner to me, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and will beat down the altar, and I will dedicate this temple to Bacchus. + +** II Maccabees 14:34 + +And when he had spoken thus, he departed. But the priests stretching forth their hands to heaven, called upon him that was ever the defender of their nation, saying in this manner: + +** II Maccabees 14:35 + +Thou, O Lord of all things, who wantest nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be amongst us. + +** II Maccabees 14:36 + +Therefore now, O Lord, the holy of all holies, keep this house for ever undefiled, which was lately cleansed. + +** II Maccabees 14:37 + +Now Razias, one of the ancients of Jerusalem, was accused to Nicanor, a man that was a lover of the city, and of good report, who for his kindness was called the father of the Jews. + +** II Maccabees 14:38 + +This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein. + +** II Maccabees 14:39 + +So Nicanor being willing to declare the hatred that he bore the Jews, sent five hundred soldiers to take him. + +** II Maccabees 14:40 + +For he thought by ensnaring him to hurt the Jews very much. + +** II Maccabees 14:41 + +Now as the multitude sought to rush into his house, and to break open the door, and to set fire to it, when he was ready to be taken, he struck himself with his sword: + +** II Maccabees 14:42 + +Choosing to die nobly rather than to fall into the hands of the wicked, and to suffer abuses unbecoming his noble birth. + +** II Maccabees 14:43 + +But whereas through haste he missed of giving a sure wound, and the crowd was breaking into the doors, he ran boldly to the wall, and manfully threw himself down to the crowd: + +** II Maccabees 14:44 + +But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck. + +** II Maccabees 14:45 + +And as he had yet breath in him, being inflamed in mind, he arose: and while his blood ran down with a great stream, and he was grievously wounded, he ran through the crowd: + +** II Maccabees 14:46 + +And standing upon a steep rock, when he was now almost without blood, grasping his bowels, with both hands he cast them upon the throng, calling upon the Lord of life and spirit, to restore these to him again: and so he departed this life. + +* II Maccabees 15 + +** II Maccabees 15:1 + +But when Nicanor understood that Judas was in the places of Samaria, he purposed to set upon him with all violence, on the sabbath day. + +** II Maccabees 15:2 + +And when the Jews that were constrained to follow him, said: Do not act so fiercely and barbarously, but give honour to the day that is sanctified: and reverence him that beholdeth all things: + +** II Maccabees 15:3 + +That unhappy man asked, if there were a mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept. + +** II Maccabees 15:4 + +And when they answered: There is the living Lord himself in heaven, the mighty One, that commanded the seventh day to be kept. + +** II Maccabees 15:5 + +Then he said: And I am mighty upon the earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business.

But Asael would not leave off following him close. + +** II Samuel 2:22 + +And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother. + +** II Samuel 2:23 + +But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still. + +** II Samuel 2:24 + +Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon. + +** II Samuel 2:25 + +And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill. + +** II Samuel 2:26 + +And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren? + +** II Samuel 2:27 + +And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren. + +** II Samuel 2:28 + +Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the army stood still, and did not pursue after Israel any farther, nor fight any more. + +** II Samuel 2:29 + +And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp. + +** II Samuel 2:30 + +And Joab returning, after he had left Abner, assembled all the people: and there were wanting of David's servants nineteen men, beside Asael. + +** II Samuel 2:31 + +But the servants of David had killed of Benjamin, and of the men that were with Abner, three hundred and sixty, who all died. + +** II Samuel 2:32 + +And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day. + +* II Samuel 3 + +** II Samuel 3:1 + +Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: David prospering and growing always stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul decaying daily. + +** II Samuel 3:2 + +And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Ammon of Achinoam the Jezrahelitess: + +** II Samuel 3:3 + +And his second Cheleab of Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel: and the third Absalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmai king of Gessur: + +** II Samuel 3:4 + +And the fourth Adonias, the son of Haggith: and the fifth Saphathia the son of Abital: + +** II Samuel 3:5 + +And the sixth Jethraam of Egla the wife of David: these were born to David In Hebron. + +** II Samuel 3:6 + +Now while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner the son of Ner ruled the house of Saul. + +** II Samuel 3:7 + +And Saul had a concubine named Respha, the daughter of Aia. And Isboseth said to Abner: + +** II Samuel 3:8 + +Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman? + +** II Samuel 3:9 + +So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him, + +** II Samuel 3:10 + +That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee. + +** II Samuel 3:11 + +And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him. + +** II Samuel 3:12 + +Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee. + +** II Samuel 3:13 + +And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me. + +** II Samuel 3:14 + +And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines. + +** II Samuel 3:15 + +And Isboseth sent, and took her from her husband Phaltiel, the son of Lais. + +** II Samuel 3:16 + +And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned. + +** II Samuel 3:17 + +Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you. + +** II Samuel 3:18 + +Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies. + +** II Samuel 3:19 + +And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin. + +** II Samuel 3:20 + +And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him. + +** II Samuel 3:21 + +And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David had brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace, + +** II Samuel 3:22 + +Immediately, David's servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty. And Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace. + +** II Samuel 3:23 + +And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. + +** II Samuel 3:24 + +And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed? + +** II Samuel 3:25 + +Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost? + +** II Samuel 3:26 + +Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it. + +** II Samuel 3:27 + +And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother. + +** II Samuel 3:28 + +And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner: + +** II Samuel 3:29 + +And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread. + +** II Samuel 3:30 + +So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle. + +** II Samuel 3:31 + +And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier. + +** II Samuel 3:32 + +And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept. + +** II Samuel 3:33 + +And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died. + +** II Samuel 3:34 + +Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him. + +** II Samuel 3:35 + +And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset. + +** II Samuel 3:36 + +And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people. + +** II Samuel 3:37 + +And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king's doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain. + +** II Samuel 3:38 + +The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and a great man is slain this day in Israel? + +** II Samuel 3:39 + +But I as yet am tender, though anointed king. And these men the sons of Sarvia are too hard for me: the Lord reward him that doth evil according to his wickedness. + +* II Samuel 4 + +** II Samuel 4:1 + +And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled. + +** II Samuel 4:2 + +Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin. + +** II Samuel 4:3 + +And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time. + +** II Samuel 4:4 + +And Jonathan the son of Saul had a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth. + +** II Samuel 4:5 + +And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep. + +** II Samuel 4:6 + +And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away. + +** II Samuel 4:7 + +For when they came into the house, he was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night. + +** II Samuel 4:8 + +And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed. + +** II Samuel 4:9 + +But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress, + +** II Samuel 4:10 + +The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news. + +** II Samuel 4:11 + +How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth? + +** II Samuel 4:12 + +And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. + +* II Samuel 5 + +** II Samuel 5:1 + +Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh. + +** II Samuel 5:2 + +Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel. + +** II Samuel 5:3 + +The ancients also of Israel came to the king of Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel. + +** II Samuel 5:4 + +David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. + +** II Samuel 5:5 + +In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda. + +** II Samuel 5:6 + +And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither. + +** II Samuel 5:7 + +But David took the castle of Sion, the same is the city of David. + +** II Samuel 5:8 + +For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple. + +** II Samuel 5:9 + +And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards. + +** II Samuel 5:10 + +And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord God of hosts was with him. + +** II Samuel 5:11 + +And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house for David. + +** II Samuel 5:12 + +And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel. + +** II Samuel 5:13 + +And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters: + +** II Samuel 5:14 + +And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, + +** II Samuel 5:15 + +And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg, + +** II Samuel 5:16 + +And Japhia, and Elisama, and Elioda, and Eliphaleth. + +** II Samuel 5:17 + +And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold. + +** II Samuel 5:18 + +And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim. + +** II Samuel 5:19 + +And David consulted the Lord, Saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand. + +** II Samuel 5:20 + +And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said, The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim. + +** II Samuel 5:21 + +And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away. + +** II Samuel 5:22 + +And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves into the valley of Raphaim. + +** II Samuel 5:23 + +And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees. + +** II Samuel 5:24 + +And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines. + +** II Samuel 5:25 + +And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer. + +* II Samuel 6 + +** II Samuel 6:1 + +And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. + +** II Samuel 6:2 + +And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of Hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims. + +** II Samuel 6:3 + +And they laid the ark of God upon a new cart: and took it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, and Oza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. + +** II Samuel 6:4 + +And when they had taken it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, Ahio having care of the ark of God went before the ark. + +** II Samuel 6:5 + +But David and all Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of wood, on harps and lutes and timbrels and cornets and cymbals. + +** II Samuel 6:6 + +And when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside. + +** II Samuel 6:7 + +And the indignation of the Lord was enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God. + +** II Samuel 6:8 + +And David was grieved because the Lord had struck Oza, and the name of that place was called: The striking of Oza, to this day. + +** II Samuel 6:9 + +And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me? + +** II Samuel 6:10 + +And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite. + +** II Samuel 6:11 + +And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household. + +** II Samuel 6:12 + +And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God.

And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar. + +** II Samuel 9:5 + +Then King David sent, and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodabar. + +** II Samuel 9:6 + +And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said: Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant. + +** II Samuel 9:7 + +And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy for Jonathan thy father's sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul the father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always. + +** II Samuel 9:8 + +He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am? + +** II Samuel 9:9 + +Then the King called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master's son. + +** II Samuel 9:10 + +Thou therefore and the sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master's son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. + +** II Samuel 9:11 + +And Siba said to the king: As thou my lord the hast commanded thy servant, so will thy servant do: and Miphiboseth shall eat at my table, as one of the sons of the King. + +** II Samuel 9:12 + +And Miphiboseth had a young son whose name was Micha: and all that kindred of the house of Siba served Miphiboseth. + +** II Samuel 9:13 + +But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king's table: and he was lame of both feet. + +* II Samuel 10 + +** II Samuel 10:1 + +And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead. + +** II Samuel 10:2 + +And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon, + +** II Samuel 10:3 + +The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it? + +** II Samuel 10:4 + +Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away. + +** II Samuel 10:5 + +When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return. + +** II Samuel 10:6 + +And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men. + +** II Samuel 10:7 + +And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors. + +** II Samuel 10:8 + +And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field. + +** II Samuel 10:9 + +Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians: + +** II Samuel 10:10 + +And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon. + +** II Samuel 10:11 + +And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me, but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee. + +** II Samuel 10:12 + +Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight. + +** II Samuel 10:13 + +And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him. + +** II Samuel 10:14 + +And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. + +** II Samuel 10:15 + +Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together. + +** II Samuel 10:16 + +And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general. + +** II Samuel 10:17 + +And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him. + +** II Samuel 10:18 + +And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died. + +** II Samuel 10:19 + +And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more. + +* II Samuel 11 + +** II Samuel 11:1 + +And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem. + +** II Samuel 11:2 + +In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: And he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful. + +** II Samuel 11:3 + +And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite. + +** II Samuel 11:4 + +And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness: + +** II Samuel 11:5 + +And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived. + +** II Samuel 11:6 + +And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David. + +** II Samuel 11:7 + +And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on. + +** II Samuel 11:8 + +And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king's house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king. + +** II Samuel 11:9 + +But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house. + +** II Samuel 11:10 + +And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house? + +** II Samuel 11:11 + +And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing. + +** II Samuel 11:12 + +Then David said to Urias: Tarry here to day, and to morrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next. + +** II Samuel 11:13 + +And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house. + +** II Samuel 11:14 + +And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias, + +** II Samuel 11:15 + +Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die. + +** II Samuel 11:16 + +Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were. + +** II Samuel 11:17 + +And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also. + +** II Samuel 11:18 + +Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle. + +** II Samuel 11:19 + +And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king, + +** II Samuel 11:20 + +If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall? + +** II Samuel 11:21 + +Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain. + +** II Samuel 11:22 + +So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him. + +** II Samuel 11:23 + +And the messenger said to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city. + +** II Samuel 11:24 + +And the archers shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king's servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead. + +** II Samuel 11:25 + +And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against the city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it. + +** II Samuel 11:26 + +And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him. + +** II Samuel 11:27 + +And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord. + +* II Samuel 12 + +** II Samuel 12:1 + +And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor. + +** II Samuel 12:2 + +The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen. + +** II Samuel 12:3 + +But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter. + +** II Samuel 12:4 + +And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man's ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. + +** II Samuel 12:5 + +And David's anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death. + +** II Samuel 12:6 + +He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity. + +** II Samuel 12:7 + +And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul, + +** II Samuel 12:8 + +And gave thee thy master's house and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee. + +** II Samuel 12:9 + +Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. + +** II Samuel 12:10 + +Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife. + +** II Samuel 12:11 + +Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes and give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. + +** II Samuel 12:12 + +For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun. + +** II Samuel 12:13 + +And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die. + +** II Samuel 12:14 + +Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die. + +** II Samuel 12:15 + +And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of. + +** II Samuel 12:16 + +And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground. + +** II Samuel 12:17 + +And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them. + +** II Samuel 12:18 + +And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead? + +** II Samuel 12:19 + +But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him He is dead. + +** II Samuel 12:20 + +Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate. + +** II Samuel 12:21 + +And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread. + +** II Samuel 12:22 + +And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live? + +** II Samuel 12:23 + +But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me. + +** II Samuel 12:24 + +And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him. + +** II Samuel 12:25 + +And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him. + +** II Samuel 12:26 + +And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to the royal city. + +** II Samuel 12:27 + +And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken. + +** II Samuel 12:28 + +Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name. + +** II Samuel 12:29 + +Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it. + +** II Samuel 12:30 + +And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David's head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away. + +** II Samuel 12:31 + +And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the army to Jerusalem. + +* II Samuel 13 + +** II Samuel 13:1 + +And it came to pass after this that Ammon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar. + +** II Samuel 13:2 + +And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her. + +** II Samuel 13:3 + +Now Ammon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man: + +** II Samuel 13:4 + +And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Ammon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom. + +** II Samuel 13:5 + +And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand. + +** II Samuel 13:6 + +So Ammon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Ammon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand. + +** II Samuel 13:7 + +Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Ammon, and make him a mess. + +** II Samuel 13:8 + +And Thamar came to the house of Ammon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes. + +** II Samuel 13:9 + +And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Ammon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out, + +** II Samuel 13:10 + +Ammon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Ammon in the chamber. + +** II Samuel 13:11 + +And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister. + +** II Samuel 13:12 + +She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly. + +** II Samuel 13:13 + +For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee. + +** II Samuel 13:14 + +But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her. + +** II Samuel 13:15 + +Then Ammon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Ammon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone. + +** II Samuel 13:16 + +She answered him: The evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her: + +** II Samuel 13:17 + +But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her. + +** II Samuel 13:18 + +And she was clothed with a long robe: for the king's daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her. + +** II Samuel 13:19 + +And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying. + +** II Samuel 13:20 + +And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Ammon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother. + +** II Samuel 13:21 + +And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Ammon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn. + +** II Samuel 13:22 + +But Absalom spoke not to Ammon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Ammon because he had ravished his sister Thamar. + +** II Samuel 13:23 + +And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons: + +** II Samuel 13:24 + +And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant. + +** II Samuel 13:25 + +And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him. + +** II Samuel 13:26 + +And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Ammon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee. + +** II Samuel 13:27 + +But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Ammon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king. + +** II Samuel 13:28 + +And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Ammon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men. + +** II Samuel 13:29 + +And the servants of Absalom did to Ammon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king's sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled. + +** II Samuel 13:30 + +And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one them left. + +** II Samuel 13:31 + +Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments. + +** II Samuel 13:32 + +But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Ammon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar. + +** II Samuel 13:33 + +Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king's sons are slain: for Ammon only is dead. + +** II Samuel 13:34 + +But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain. + +** II Samuel 13:35 + +And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king's sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is. + +** II Samuel 13:36 + +And when he made an end of speaking, the king's sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much. + +** II Samuel 13:37 + +But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day. + +** II Samuel 13:38 + +And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years. And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Ammon. + +** II Samuel 13:39 + +nil + +* II Samuel 14 + +** II Samuel 14:1 + +And Joab the son of Sarvia, understanding that the king's heart was turned to Absalom, + +** II Samuel 14:2 + +Sent to Thecua, and fetched from thence a wise woman: and said to her: Feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, and be not anointed with oil, that thou mayest be as a woman that had a long time been mourning for one dead. + +** II Samuel 14:3 + +And thou shalt go in to the king, and shalt speak to him in this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth. + +** II Samuel 14:4 + +And when the woman of Thecua was come in to the king, she fell before him upon the ground, and worshipped, and said: Save me, O king. + +** II Samuel 14:5 + +And the king said to her: What is the matter with thee? She answered: Alas, I am a widow woman: for my husband is dead. + +** II Samuel 14:6 + +And thy handmaid had two sons: and they quarrelled with each other in the field, and there was none to part them: and the one struck the other, and slew him. + +** II Samuel 14:7 + +And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth. + +** II Samuel 14:8 + +And the king said to the woman: Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee. + +** II Samuel 14:9 + +And the woman of Thecua said to the king: Upon me, my lord be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father: but may the king and his throne be guiltless. + +** II Samuel 14:10 + +And the king said: If any one shall say ought against thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. + +** II Samuel 14:11 + +And she said: Let the king remember the Lord his God, that the next of kin be not multiplied to take revenge, and that they may not kill my son. And he said: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. + +** II Samuel 14:12 + +The woman said: Let thy hand maid speak one word to my lord the king. And he said: Speak. + +** II Samuel 14:13 + +And the woman said: Why hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God, and why hath the king spoken this word, to sin, and not bring home again his own exile? + +** II Samuel 14:14 + +We all die, and like waters that return no more, we fall down into the earth: neither will God have a soul to perish, but recalleth, meaning that he that is cast off should not altogether perish. + +** II Samuel 14:15 + +Now therefore I am come, to speak this word to my lord the king before the people. And thy handmaid said: I will speak to the king, it maybe the king will perform the request of his handmaid. + +** II Samuel 14:16 + +And the king hath hearkened to me to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of all that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. + +** II Samuel 14:17 + +Then let thy handmaid say, that the word of the Lord the king be made as a sacrifice. For even as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, that he is neither moved with blessing nor cursing: wherefore the Lord thy God is also with thee. + +** II Samuel 14:18 + +And the king answering, said to the woman: Hide not from me the thing that I ask thee. And the woman said to him: Speak, my lord the king. + +** II Samuel 14:19 + +And the king said: Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? The woman answered, and said: By the health of thy soul, my lord, O king, it is neither on the left hand, nor on the right, in all these things which my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy handmaid. + +** II Samuel 14:20 + +That I should come about with this form of speech, thy servant Joab commanded this: but thou, my lord, O king, art wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to understand all things upon earth. + +** II Samuel 14:21 + +And the king said to Joab: Behold I am appeased and have granted thy request: Go therefore and fetch back the boy Absalom. + +** II Samuel 14:22 + +And Joab falling down to the ground upon his face, adored, and blessed the king: and Joab said: This day thy servant hath understood, that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king: for thou hast fulfilled the request of thy servant. + +** II Samuel 14:23 + +Then Joab arose and went to Gessur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. + +** II Samuel 14:24 + +But the king said: Let him return into his house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned into his house, and saw not the king's face. + +** II Samuel 14:25 + +But in all Israel there was not a man so comely, and so exceedingly beautiful as Absalom: from the sole of the foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. + +** II Samuel 14:26 + +And when he polled his hair (now he was polled once a year, because his hair was burdensome to him) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred sicles, according to the common weight. + +** II Samuel 14:27 + +And there were born to Absalom three sons: and one daughter, whose name was Thamar, and she was very beautiful. + +** II Samuel 14:28 + +And Absalom dwelt two years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face. + +** II Samuel 14:29 + +He sent therefore to Joab, to send him to the king: but he would not come to him. And when he had sent the second time, and he would not come to him, + +** II Samuel 14:30 + +He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab's servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire. + +** II Samuel 14:31 + +Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said: Why have thy servants set my corn on fire? + +** II Samuel 14:32 + +And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me. + +** II Samuel 14:33 + +So Joab going in to the king, told him all: and Absalom was called for, and, he went in to the king: and prostrated himself on the ground before him: and the king kissed Absalom. + +* II Samuel 15 + +** II Samuel 15:1 + +Now after these things Absalom made himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. + +** II Samuel 15:2 + +And Absalom rising up early stood by the entrance of the gate, and when any man had business to come to the king's judgment, Absalom called him to him, and said: Of what city art thou? He answered, and said: Thy servant is of such tribe of Israel. + +** II Samuel 15:3 + +And Absalom answered him: Thy words seem to me good and just. But there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee. And Absalom said: + +** II Samuel 15:4 + +O that they would make me judge over the land, that all that have business might come to me, that I might do them justice. + +** II Samuel 15:5 + +Moreover when any man came to him to salute him, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. + +** II Samuel 15:6 + +And this he did to all Israel that came for judgment, to be heard by the king, and he enticed the hearts of the men of Israel. + +** II Samuel 15:7 + +And after forty years, Absalom said to king David: Let me go, and pay my vows which I have vowed to the Lord in Hebron. + +** II Samuel 15:8 + +For thy servant made a vow, when he was in Gessur of Syria, saying: If the Lord shall bring me again into Jerusalem, I will offer sacrifice to the Lord. + +** II Samuel 15:9 + +And king David said to him: Go in peace. And he arose, and went to Hebron. + +** II Samuel 15:10 + +And Absalom sent spies into all the tribes of Israel, saying: As soon as you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, say ye: Absalom reigneth in Hebron. + +** II Samuel 15:11 + +Now there went with Absalom two hundred men out of Jerusalem that were called, going with simplicity of heart, and knowing nothing of the design. + +** II Samuel 15:12 + +Absalom also sent for Achitophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city Gilo. And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased with Absalom. + +** II Samuel 15:13 + +And there came a messenger to David, saying: All Israel with their whole heart followeth Absalom. + +** II Samuel 15:14 + +And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. + +** II Samuel 15:15 + +And the king's servants said to him: Whatsoever our lord the king shall command, we thy servants will willingly execute. + +** II Samuel 15:16 + +And the king went forth, and all his household on foot: and the king left ten women his concubines to keep the house: + +** II Samuel 15:17 + +And the king going forth and all Israel on foot, stood afar off from the house: + +** II Samuel 15:18 + +And all his servants walked by him, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the Gethites, valiant warriors, six hundred men who had followed him from Geth on foot, went before the king. + +** II Samuel 15:19 + +And the king said to Ethai the Gethite: Why comest thou with us: return and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and art come out of thy own place. + +** II Samuel 15:20 + +Yesterday thou camest, and to day shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? but I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, and the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity. + +** II Samuel 15:21 + +And Ethai answered the king, saying: As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth: in what place soever thou shalt be, my lord, O king, either in death, or in life, there will thy servant be. + +** II Samuel 15:22 + +And David said to Ethai: Come, and pass over. And Ethai the Gethite passed, and all the men that were with him, and the rest of the people. + +** II Samuel 15:23 + +And they all wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself went over the brook Cedron, and all the people marched towards the way that looketh to the desert. + +** II Samuel 15:24 + +And Sadoc the priest also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God: and Abiathar went up, till all the people that was come out of the city had done passing. + +** II Samuel 15:25 + +And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle. + +** II Samuel 15:26 + +But if he shall say to me: Thou pleasest me not: I am ready, let him do that which is good before him. + +** II Samuel 15:27 + +And the king said to Sadoc the priest: O seer, return into the city in peace: and let Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you. + +** II Samuel 15:28 + +Behold I will lie hid in the plains of the wilderness, till there come word from you to certify me. + +** II Samuel 15:29 + +So Sadoc and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem: and they tarried there. + +** II Samuel 15:30 + +But David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered, and all the people that were with them, went up with their heads covered weeping. + +** II Samuel 15:31 + +And it was told David that Achitophel also was in the conspiracy with Absalom, and David said: Infatuate, O Lord, I beseech thee, the counsel of Achitophel. + +** II Samuel 15:32 + +And when David was come to the top of the mountain, where he was about to adore the Lord, behold Chusai the Arachite, came to meet him with his garment rent and his head covered with earth. + +** II Samuel 15:33 + +And David said to him: If thou come with me, thou wilt be a burden to me: + +** II Samuel 15:34 + +But if thou return into the city, and wilt say to Absalom: I am thy servant, O king: as I have been thy father's servant, so I will be thy servant: thou shalt defeat the counsel of Achitophel. + +** II Samuel 15:35 + +And thou hast with thee Sadoc, and soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests. + +** II Samuel 15:36 + +And there are with them their two sons Achimaas; the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar: and you shall send by them to me every thing that you shall hear. + +** II Samuel 15:37 + +Then Chusai the friend of David went into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. + +* II Samuel 16 + +** II Samuel 16:1 + +And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold Siba the servant of Miphiboseth came to meet him with two asses, laden with two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs, and a vessel of wine. + +** II Samuel 16:2 + +And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king's household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert. + +** II Samuel 16:3 + +And the king said: Where is thy master's son? And Siba answered the king: He remained in Jerusalem, saying: To day, will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. + +** II Samuel 16:4 + +And the king said to Siba: I give thee all that belonged to Miphiboseth. And Siba said: I beseech thee let me find grace before thee, my lord, O king. + +** II Samuel 16:5 + +And king David came as far as Bahurim: and behold there came out from thence a man of the kindred of the house of Saul named Semei, the son of Gera, and coming out he cursed as he went on, + +** II Samuel 16:6 + +And he threw stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people, and all the warriors walked on the right, and on the left side of the king. + +** II Samuel 16:7 + +And thus said Semei when he cursed the king: Come out, come out, thou man of blood, and thou man of Belial. + +** II Samuel 16:8 + +The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood. + +** II Samuel 16:9 + +And Abisai the son of Sarvia said to the king: Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I will go, and cut off his head. + +** II Samuel 16:10 + +And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so? + +** II Samuel 16:11 + +And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him. + +** II Samuel 16:12 + +Perhaps the Lord may look upon my affliction, and the Lord may render me good for the cursing of this day. + +** II Samuel 16:13 + +And David and his men with him went by the way. And Semei by the hill's side went over against him, cursing, and casting stones at him, and scattering earth. + +** II Samuel 16:14 + +And the king and all the people with him came weary, and refreshed themselves there. + +** II Samuel 16:15 + +But Absalom and all his people came into Jerusalem, and Achitophel was with him. + +** II Samuel 16:16 + +And when Chusai the Arachite, David's friend, was come to Absalom, he said to him: God save thee, O king, God save thee, O king. + +** II Samuel 16:17 + +And Absalom said to him, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend? + +** II Samuel 16:18 + +And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide. + +** II Samuel 16:19 + +Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king's son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also. + +** II Samuel 16:20 + +And Absalom said to Achitophel: Consult what we are to do. + +** II Samuel 16:21 + +And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee. + +** II Samuel 16:22 + +So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel. + +** II Samuel 16:23 + +Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom. + +* II Samuel 17 + +** II Samuel 17:1 + +And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night. + +** II Samuel 17:2 + +And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone. + +** II Samuel 17:3 + +And I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace. + +** II Samuel 17:4 + +And his saying pleased Absalom, and all the ancients of Israel. + +** II Samuel 17:5 + +But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith. + +** II Samuel 17:6 + +And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do it or not? what counsel dost thou give? + +** II Samuel 17:7 + +And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good. + +** II Samuel 17:8 + +And again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people. + +** II Samuel 17:9 + +Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he liest: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom. + +** II Samuel 17:10 + +And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant. + +** II Samuel 17:11 + +But this seemeth to me to be good counsel: Let all Israel be gathered to thee, from Dan to Bersabee, as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered: and thou shalt be in the midst of them. + +** II Samuel 17:12 + +And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one. + +** II Samuel 17:13 + +And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof. + +** II Samuel 17:14 + +And Absalom, and all the men of Israel said: The counsel of Chusai the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel: and by the will of the Lord the profitable counsel of Achitophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. + +** II Samuel 17:15 + +And Chusai said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests: Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Absalom, and the ancients of Israel: and thus and thus did I counsel them. + +** II Samuel 17:16 + +Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him. + +** II Samuel 17:17 + +And Jonathan and Achimaas stayed by the fountain Rogel: and there went a maid and told them: and they went forward, to carry the message to king David, for they might not be seen, nor enter into the city. + +** II Samuel 17:18 + +But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it. + +** II Samuel 17:19 + +And a woman took, and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as it were to dry sodden barley and so the thing was not known. + +** II Samuel 17:20 + +And when Absalom's servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem. + +** II Samuel 17:21 + +And when they were gone, they came up out of the well, and going on told king David, and said: Arise, and pass quickly over the river: for this manner of counsel has Achitophel given against you. + +** II Samuel 17:22 + +So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone ever the river. + +** II Samuel 17:23 + +But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. + +** II Samuel 17:24 + +But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. + +** II Samuel 17:25 + +Now Absalom appointed Amasa in Joab's stead over the army: and Amasa was the son of a man who was called Jethra, of Jezrael, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Naas, the sister of Sarvia who was the mother of Joab. + +** II Samuel 17:26 + +And Israel camped with Absalom in the land of Galaad. + +** II Samuel 17:27 + +And when David was come to the camp, Sobi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammihel of Lodabar and Berzellai the Galaadite of Rogelim, + +** II Samuel 17:28 + +Brought him beds, and tapestry, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and fried pulse, + +** II Samuel 17:29 + +And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness. + +* II Samuel 18 + +** II Samuel 18:1 + +And David, having reviewed his people, appointed over them captains of thousands and of hundreds, + +** II Samuel 18:2 + +And sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abisai the son of Sarvia Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ethai, who was of Geth: and the king said to the people: I also will go forth with you. + +** II Samuel 18:3 + +And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not much mind us: or if half of us should fall, they will not greatly care: for thou alone art accounted for ten thousand: it is better therefore that thou shouldst be in the city to succour us. + +** II Samuel 18:4 + +And the king said to them: What seemeth good to you, that will I do. And the king stood by the gate: and all the people went forth by their troops, by hundreds and by thousands. + +** II Samuel 18:5 + +And the king commanded Joab, and Abisai, and Ethai, saying: Save me the boy Absalom. And all the people heard the king giving charge to all the princes concerning Absalom. + +** II Samuel 18:6 + +So the people went out into the field against Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim. + +** II Samuel 18:7 + +And the people of Israel were defeated there by David's army, and a great slaughter was made that day of twenty thousand men. + +** II Samuel 18:8 + +And the battle there was scattered over the face of all the country, and there were many more of the people whom the forest consumed, than whom the sword devoured that day. + +** II Samuel 18:9 + +And it happened that Absalom met the servants of David, riding on a mule: and as the mule went under a thick and large oak, his head stuck in the oak: and while he hung between the heaven and the earth, the mule on which he rode passed on. + +** II Samuel 18:10 + +And one saw this and told Joab, saying: I saw Absalom hanging upon an oak. + +** II Samuel 18:11 + +And Joab said to the man that told him: If thou sawest him, why didst thou not stab him to the ground, and I would have given thee ten sicles of silver, and a belt? + +** II Samuel 18:12 + +And he said to Joab: If thou wouldst have paid down in my hands a thousand pieces of silver, I would not lay my hands upon the king's son for in our hearing the king charged thee, and Abisai, and Ethai, saying: Save me the boy Absalom. + +** II Samuel 18:13 + +Yea and if I should have acted boldly against my own life, this could not have been hid from the king, and wouldst thou have stood by me? + +** II Samuel 18:14 + +And Joab said: Not as thou wilt, but I will set upon him in thy sight. So he took three lances in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Absalom: and whilst he yet panted for life, sticking on the oak, + +** II Samuel 18:15 + +Ten young men, armourbearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him slew him. + +** II Samuel 18:16 + +And Joab sounded the trumpet, and kept back the people from pursuing after Israel in their flight, being willing to spare the multitude. + +** II Samuel 18:17 + +And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and they laid an exceeding great heap of stones upon him: but all Israel fled to their own dwellings. + +** II Samuel 18:18 + +Now Absalom had reared up for himself, in his lifetime, a pillar, which is in the king's valley: for he said: I have no son, and this shall be the monument of my name. And he called the pillar by his own name, and it is called the hand of Absalom, to this day. + +** II Samuel 18:19 + +And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said: I will run and tell the king, that the Lord hath done judgment for him from the hand of his enemies. + +** II Samuel 18:20 + +And Joab said to him: Thou shalt not be the messenger this day, but shalt bear tidings another day: this day I will not have thee bear tidings, because the king's son is dead. + +** II Samuel 18:21 + +And Joab said to Chusai: Go, and tell the king what thou hast seen. Chusai bowed down to Joab, and ran. + +** II Samuel 18:22 + +Then Achimaas the son of Sadoc said to Joab again: Why might not I also run after Chusai? And Joab said to him: Why wilt thou run, my son? thou wilt not be the bearer of good tidings. + +** II Samuel 18:23 + +He answered: But what if I run? And he said to him: Run. Then Achimaas running by a nearer way passed Chusai. + +** II Samuel 18:24 + +And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman that was on the top of the gate upon the wall, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running alone. + +** II Samuel 18:25 + +And crying out he told the king: and the king said: If he be alone, there are good tidings in his mouth. And as he was coming apace, and drawing nearer, + +** II Samuel 18:26 + +The watchman saw another man running, and crying aloud from above, he said: I see another man running alone. And the king said: He also is a good messenger. + +** II Samuel 18:27 + +And the watchman said: The running of the foremost seemeth to me like the running of Achimaas the son of Sadoc. And the king said: He is a good man: and cometh with good news. + +** II Samuel 18:28 + +And Achimaas crying out, said to the king: God save thee, O king. And falling down before the king with his face to the ground, he said: Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath shut up the men that have lifted up their hands against the lord my king. + +** II Samuel 18:29 + +And the king said: Is the young man Absalom safe? And Achimaas said: I saw a great tumult, O king, when thy servant Joab sent me thy servant: I know nothing else. + +** II Samuel 18:30 + +And the king said to him: Pass, and stand here. + +** II Samuel 18:31 + +And when he had passed, and stood still, Chusai appeared and coming up he said: I bring good tidings, my lord, the king, for the Lord hath judged for thee this day from the hand of all that have risen up against thee. + +** II Samuel 18:32 + +And the king said to Chusai: Is the young man Absalom safe? And Chusai answering him, said: Let the enemies of my lord, the king, and all that rise against him unto evil, be as the young man is. + +** II Samuel 18:33 + +The king therefore being much moved, went up to the high chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went he spoke in this manner: My son Absalom, Absalom my son: would to God that I might die for thee, Absalom my son, my son Absalom. + +* II Samuel 19 + +** II Samuel 19:1 + +And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son: + +** II Samuel 19:2 + +And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son. + +** II Samuel 19:3 + +And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle. + +** II Samuel 19:4 + +And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son. + +** II Samuel 19:5 + +Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines. + +** II Samuel 19:6 + +Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee. + +** II Samuel 19:7 + +Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now. + +** II Samuel 19:8 + +Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings. + +** II Samuel 19:9 + +And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom. + +** II Samuel 19:10 + +But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king? + +** II Samuel 19:11 + +And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.) + +** II Samuel 19:12 + +You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king? + +** II Samuel 19:13 + +And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab. + +** II Samuel 19:14 + +And he inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants. + +** II Samuel 19:15 + +And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan. + +** II Samuel 19:16 + +And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David, + +** II Samuel 19:17 + +With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan, + +** II Samuel 19:18 + +They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king's household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan, + +** II Samuel 19:19 + +Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king. + +** II Samuel 19:20 + +For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king. + +** II Samuel 19:21 + +But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed? + +** II Samuel 19:22 + +And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel? + +** II Samuel 19:23 + +And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die.

A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might, not stop on his account. + +** II Samuel 20:13 + +And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri. + +** II Samuel 20:14 + +Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel unto Abela and Bethmaacha: and all the chosen men were gathered together unto him. + +** II Samuel 20:15 + +And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls. + +** II Samuel 20:16 + +And a wise woman cried out from the city: Hear, hear, and say to Joab: Come near hither, and I will speak with thee. + +** II Samuel 20:17 + +And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid.

For neither was he left in hell: neither did his flesh see corruption. + +** Acts 2:32 + +This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses. + +** Acts 2:33 + +Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear. + +** Acts 2:34 + +For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, + +** Acts 2:35 + +Until I make thy enemies thy footstool. + +** Acts 2:36 + +Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified. + +** Acts 2:37 + +Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren? + +** Acts 2:38 + +But Peter said to them: Do penance: and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. + +** Acts 2:39 + +For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call. + +** Acts 2:40 + +And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation. + +** Acts 2:41 + +They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. + +** Acts 2:42 + +And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers. + +** Acts 2:43 + +And fear came upon every soul. Many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem: and there was great fervor in all. + +** Acts 2:44 + +And all they that believed were together and had all things common. + +** Acts 2:45 + +Their possessions and goods they sold and divided them to all, according as every one had need. + +** Acts 2:46 + +And continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart: + +** Acts 2:47 + +Praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved. + +* Acts 3 + +** Acts 3:1 + +Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer. + +** Acts 3:2 + +And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple. + +** Acts 3:3 + +He, when he had seen Peter and John, about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. + +** Acts 3:4 + +But Peter with John, fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us. + +** Acts 3:5 + +But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them. + +** Acts 3:6 + +But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise and walk. + +** Acts 3:7 + +And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up: and forthwith his feet and soles received strength. + +** Acts 3:8 + +And he leaping up, stood and walked and went in with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. + +** Acts 3:9 + +And all the people saw him walking and praising God. + +** Acts 3:10 + +And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him. + +** Acts 3:11 + +And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them, to the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. + +** Acts 3:12 + +But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? Or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk? + +** Acts 3:13 + +The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released. + +** Acts 3:14 + +But you denied the Holy One and the Just: and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. + +** Acts 3:15 + +But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses. + +** Acts 3:16 + +And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened. And the faith which is by him hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all. + +** Acts 3:17 + +And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance: as did also your rulers. + +** Acts 3:18 + +But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. + +** Acts 3:19 + +Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. + +** Acts 3:20 + +That when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ. + +** Acts 3:21 + +Whom heaven indeed must receive, until the times of the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the beginning of the world. + +** Acts 3:22 + +For Moses said: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: him you shall hear according to all things whatsoever he shall speak to you. + +** Acts 3:23 + +And it shall be, that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people. + +** Acts 3:24 + +And all the prophets, from Samuel and afterwards, who have spoken, have told of these days. + +** Acts 3:25 + +You are the children of the prophets and of the testament which God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. + +** Acts 3:26 + +To you first, God, raising up his Son, hath sent him to bless you: that every one may convert himself from his wickedness. + +* Acts 4 + +** Acts 4:1 + +And as they were speaking to the people the priests and the officer of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, + +** Acts 4:2 + +Being grieved that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead: + +** Acts 4:3 + +And they laid hands upon them and put them in hold till the next day: for it was now evening. + +** Acts 4:4 + +But many of them who had heard the word believed: and the number of the men was made five thousand. + +** Acts 4:5 + +And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes and ancients and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem. + +** Acts 4:6 + +And Annas the high priest and Caiphas and John and Alexander: and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest. + +** Acts 4:7 + +And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power or by what name, have you done this? + +** Acts 4:8 + +Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people and ancients, hear. + +** Acts 4:9 + +If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole: + +** Acts 4:10 + +Be it known to you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him, this man standeth here before you, whole. + +** Acts 4:11 + +This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner. + +** Acts 4:12 + +Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved. + +** Acts 4:13 + +Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered: and they knew them that they had been with Jesus. + +** Acts 4:14 + +Seeing the man also who had been healed, standing with them, they could say nothing against it. + +** Acts 4:15 + +But they commanded them to go aside out of the council: and they conferred among themselves, + +** Acts 4:16 + +Saying: What shall we do to these men? For indeed a miracle hath been done by them, known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest: and we cannot deny it. + +** Acts 4:17 + +But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man. + +** Acts 4:18 + +And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus. + +** Acts 4:19 + +But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just, in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye. + +** Acts 4:20 + +For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. + +** Acts 4:21 + +But they, threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass. + +** Acts 4:22 + +For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought. + +** Acts 4:23 + +And being let go, they came to their own company and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them. + +** Acts 4:24 + +Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea and all things that are in them. + +** Acts 4:25 + +Who, by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, hast said: Why did the Gentiles rage: and the people meditate vain things? + +** Acts 4:26 + +The kings of the earth stood up: and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ. + +** Acts 4:27 + +For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, + +** Acts 4:28 + +To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done. + +** Acts 4:29 + +And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants that with all confidence they may speak thy word, + +** Acts 4:30 + +By stretching forth thy hand to cures and signs and wonders, to be done by the name of thy holy Son, Jesus. + +** Acts 4:31 + +And when they had prayed, the place was moved wherein they were assembled: and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost: and they spoke the word of God with confidence. + +** Acts 4:32 + +And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul. Neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed was his own: but all things were common unto them. + +** Acts 4:33 + +And with great power did the Apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord: and great grace was in them all. + +** Acts 4:34 + +For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the price of the things they sold, + +** Acts 4:35 + +And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need. + +** Acts 4:36 + +And Joseph, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas (which is, by interpretation, The son of consolation), a Levite, a Cyprian born, + +** Acts 4:37 + +Having land, sold it and brought the price and laid it at the feet of the Apostles. + +* Acts 5 + +** Acts 5:1 + +But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land, + +** Acts 5:2 + +And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles. + +** Acts 5:3 + +But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost and by fraud keep part of the price of the land? + +** Acts 5:4 + +Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God. + +** Acts 5:5 + +And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it. + +** Acts 5:6 + +And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him. + +** Acts 5:7 + +And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. + +** Acts 5:8 + +And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much. + +** Acts 5:9 + +And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door: and they shall carry thee out, + +** Acts 5:10 + +Immediately, she fell down before his feet and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in found her dead: and carried her out and buried her by her husband. + +** Acts 5:11 + +And there came great fear upon the whole church and upon all that heard these things. + +** Acts 5:12 + +And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. + +** Acts 5:13 + +But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them: but the people magnified them. + +** Acts 5:14 + +And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord was more increased: + +** Acts 5:15 + +Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that, when Peter came, his shadow at the least might overshadow any of them and they might be delivered from their infirmities. + +** Acts 5:16 + +And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighbouring cities, bringing sick persons and such as were troubled with unclean spirits: who were all healed. + +** Acts 5:17 + +Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him (which is the heresy of the Sadducees) were filled with envy. + +** Acts 5:18 + +And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. + +** Acts 5:19 + +But an angel of the Lord by night, opening the doors of the prison and leading them out, said: + +** Acts 5:20 + +Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. + +** Acts 5:21 + +Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council and all the ancients of the children of Israel: and they sent to the prison to have them brought. + +** Acts 5:22 + +But when the ministers came and opening the prison found them not there, they returned and told, + +** Acts 5:23 + +Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the door: but opening it, we found no man within. + +** Acts 5:24 + +Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass. + +** Acts 5:25 + +But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people. + +** Acts 5:26 + +Then went the officer with the ministers and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. + +** Acts 5:27 + +And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, + +** Acts 5:28 + +Saying: Commanding, we commanded you that you should not teach in this name. And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine: and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us. + +** Acts 5:29 + +But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God rather than men. + +** Acts 5:30 + +The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree. + +** Acts 5:31 + +Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour. to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins. + +** Acts 5:32 + +And we are witnesses of these things: and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him. + +** Acts 5:33 + +When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart: and they thought to put them to death. + +** Acts 5:34 + +But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while. + +** Acts 5:35 + +And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men. + +** Acts 5:36 + +For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. Who was slain: and all that believed him were scattered and brought to nothing. + +** Acts 5:37 + +After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him. He also perished: and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed. + +** Acts 5:38 + +And now, therefore, I say to you: Refrain from these men and let them alone. For if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought: + +** Acts 5:39 + +But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him. + +** Acts 5:40 + +And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them. + +** Acts 5:41 + +And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus. + +** Acts 5:42 + +And every day they ceased not, in the temple and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus. + +* Acts 6 + +** Acts 6:1 + +And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. + +** Acts 6:2 + +Then the twelve, calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. + +** Acts 6:3 + +Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. + +** Acts 6:4 + +But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word. + +** Acts 6:5 + +And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor, and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch. + +** Acts 6:6 + +These they set before the apostles: and they praying, imposed hands upon them. + +** Acts 6:7 + +And the word of the Lord increased: and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly. A great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith. + +** Acts 6:8 + +And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people. + +** Acts 6:9 + +Now there arose some, of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines and of the Cyrenians and of the Alexandrians and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen. + +** Acts 6:10 + +And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke. + +** Acts 6:11 + +Then they suborned men to say they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God. + +** Acts 6:12 + +And they stirred up the people and the ancients and the scribes. And running together, they took him and brought him to the council. + +** Acts 6:13 + +And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law. + +** Acts 6:14 + +For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us. + +** Acts 6:15 + +And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel. + +* Acts 7 + +** Acts 7:1 + +Then the high priest said: Are these things so? + +** Acts 7:2 + +Who said: Ye men, brethren and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan. + +** Acts 7:3 + +And said to him: Go forth out of thy country and from thy kindred: and come into the land which I shall shew thee. + +** Acts 7:4 + +Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell. + +** Acts 7:5 + +And he gave him no inheritance in it: no, not the pace of a foot. But he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. + +** Acts 7:6 + +And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage and treat them evil four hundred years. + +** Acts 7:7 + +And the nation which they shall serve will I judge (said the Lord): and after these things they shall go out and shall serve me in this place. + +** Acts 7:8 + +And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he begot Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day: and Isaac begot Jacob: and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs. + +** Acts 7:9 + +And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt. And God was with him, + +** Acts 7:10 + +And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and over all his house. + +** Acts 7:11 + +Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation: and our fathers found no food. + +** Acts 7:12 + +But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first. + +** Acts 7:13 + +And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren: and his kindred was made known to Pharao. + +** Acts 7:14 + +And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls. + +** Acts 7:15 + +So Jacob went down into Egypt. And he died, and our fathers. + +** Acts 7:16 + +And they were translated into Sichem and were laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem. + +** Acts 7:17 + +And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt. + +** Acts 7:18 + +Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph. + +** Acts 7:19 + +This same, dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive. + +** Acts 7:20 + +At the same time was Moses born: and he was acceptable to God. Who was nourished three months in his father's house. + +** Acts 7:21 + +And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son. + +** Acts 7:22 + +And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians: and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds. + +** Acts 7:23 + +And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. + +** Acts 7:24 + +And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him: and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury. + +** Acts 7:25 + +And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them. But they understood it not. + +** Acts 7:26 + +And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren. Why hurt you one another? + +** Acts 7:27 + +But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us: + +** Acts 7:28 + +What! Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? + +** Acts 7:29 + +And Moses fled upon this word: and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons. + +** Acts 7:30 + +And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him, in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush. + +** Acts 7:31 + +And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying: + +** Acts 7:32 + +I am the God of thy fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. And Moses being terrified durst not behold. + +** Acts 7:33 + +And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place wherein thou standest is holy ground. + +** Acts 7:34 + +Seeing, 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: and I will send thee into Egypt. + +** Acts 7:35 + +This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? Him God sent to be prince and redeemer, by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the burning bush. + +** Acts 7:36 + +He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the desert, forty years. + +** Acts 7:37 + +This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself. Him shall you hear. + +** Acts 7:38 + +This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sina and with our fathers. Who received the words of life to give unto us. + +** Acts 7:39 + +Whom our fathers would not obey: but thrust him away and in their hearts turned back into Egypt, + +** Acts 7:40 + +Saying to Aaron: Make us gods to go before us. For as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. + +** Acts 7:41 + +And they made a calf in those days and offered sacrifices to the idol and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. + +** Acts 7:42 + +And God turned and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel? + +** Acts 7:43 + +And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon. + +** Acts 7:44 + +The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen. + +** Acts 7:45 + +Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles: whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David, + +** Acts 7:46 + +Who found grace before God and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. + +** Acts 7:47 + +But Solomon built him a house, + +** Acts 7:48 + +Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith: + +** Acts 7:49 + +Heaven is my throne and the earth my footstool. What house will you build me (saith the Lord)? Or what is the place of my resting? + +** Acts 7:50 + +Hath not my hand made all these things? + +** Acts 7:51 + +You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost. As your fathers did, so do you also. + +** Acts 7:52 + +Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One: of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers. + +** Acts 7:53 + +Who have received the law by the disposition of angels and have not kept it. + +** Acts 7:54 + +Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart: and they gnashed with their teeth at him. + +** Acts 7:55 + +But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. + +** Acts 7:56 + +And they, crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears and with one accord ran violently upon him. + +** Acts 7:57 + +And casting him forth without the city. they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul. + +** Acts 7:58 + +And they stoned Stephen, invoking and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. + +** Acts 7:59 + +And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not his sin to their charge: And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his death. + +* Acts 8 + +** Acts 8:1 + +And at that time, there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles. + +** Acts 8:2 + +And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral and made great mourning over him. + +** Acts 8:3 + +But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house: and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison. + +** Acts 8:4 + +They therefore that were dispersed went about preaching the word of God. + +** Acts 8:5 + +And Philip, going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. + +** Acts 8:6 + +And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did. + +** Acts 8:7 + +For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out. + +** Acts 8:8 + +And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed. + +** Acts 8:9 + +There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one: + +** Acts 8:10 + +To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great. + +** Acts 8:11 + +And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices. + +** Acts 8:12 + +But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. + +** Acts 8:13 + +Then Simon himself believed also and, being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done. + +** Acts 8:14 + +Now, when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. + +** Acts 8:15 + +Who, when they were come, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost. + +** Acts 8:16 + +For he was not as yet come upon any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. + +** Acts 8:17 + +Then they laid their hands upon them: and they received the Holy Ghost. + +** Acts 8:18 + +And when Simon saw that, by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, + +** Acts 8:19 + +Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him: + +** Acts 8:20 + +Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee: because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. + +** Acts 8:21 + +Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God. + +** Acts 8:22 + +Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness: and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. + +** Acts 8:23 + +For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity. + +** Acts 8:24 + +Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me. + +** Acts 8:25 + +And they indeed, having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem: and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans. + +** Acts 8:26 + +Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert. + +** Acts 8:27 + +And rising up, he went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore. + +** Acts 8:28 + +And he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading Isaias the prophet. + +** Acts 8:29 + +And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near and join thyself to this chariot. + +** Acts 8:30 + +And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? + +** Acts 8:31 + +Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. + +** Acts 8:32 + +And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter: and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth. + +** Acts 8:33 + +In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth? + +** Acts 8:34 + +And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? Of himself, or of some other man? + +** Acts 8:35 + +Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. + +** Acts 8:36 + +And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said: See, here is water: What doth hinder me from being baptized? + +** Acts 8:37 + +And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. + +** Acts 8:38 + +And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch. And he baptized him. + +** Acts 8:39 + +And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip: and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing. + +** Acts 8:40 + +But Philip was found in Azotus: and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. + +* Acts 9 + +** Acts 9:1 + +And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest + +** Acts 9:2 + +And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. + +** Acts 9:3 + +And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him. + +** Acts 9:4 + +And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? + +** Acts 9:5 + +Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. + +** Acts 9:6 + +And he, trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? + +** Acts 9:7 + +And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the city; and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice but seeing no man. + +** Acts 9:8 + +And Saul arose from the ground: and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they, leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus. + +** Acts 9:9 + +And he was there three days without sight: and he did neither eat nor drink. + +** Acts 9:10 + +Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias, And he said: Behold I am here, Lord. + +** Acts 9:11 + +And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the street that is called Strait and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth. + +** Acts 9:12 + +(And he saw a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.) + +** Acts 9:13 + +But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem. + +** Acts 9:14 + +And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name. + +** Acts 9:15 + +And the Lord said to him: Go thy way: for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. + +** Acts 9:16 + +For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. + +** Acts 9:17 + +And Ananias went his way and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost. + +** Acts 9:18 + +And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized. + +** Acts 9:19 + +And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days. + +** Acts 9:20 + +And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the son of God. + +** Acts 9:21 + +And all that heard him were astonished and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests? + +** Acts 9:22 + +But Saul increased much more in strength and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ. + +** Acts 9:23 + +And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him. + +** Acts 9:24 + +But their lying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him. + +** Acts 9:25 + +But the disciples, taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket. + +** Acts 9:26 + +And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. + +** Acts 9:27 + +But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him: and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus. + +** Acts 9:28 + +And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord. + +** Acts 9:29 + +He spoke also to the Gentiles and disputed with the Greeks. But they sought to kill him. + +** Acts 9:30 + +Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus. + +** Acts 9:31 + +Now, the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria: and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord: and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost. + +** Acts 9:32 + +And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda. + +** Acts 9:33 + +And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy. + +** Acts 9:34 + +And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee. Arise and make thy bed. And immediately he arose. + +** Acts 9:35 + +And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him: who were converted to the Lord. + +** Acts 9:36 + +And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. + +** Acts 9:37 + +And it came to pass in those days that she was sick and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. + +** Acts 9:38 + +And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them. + +** Acts 9:39 + +And Peter rising up went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him, weeping and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them. + +** Acts 9:40 + +And they all being put forth, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes and, seeing Peter, sat up. + +** Acts 9:41 + +And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive. + +** Acts 9:42 + +And it was made known throughout all Joppe. And many believed in the Lord. + +** Acts 9:43 + +And it cane to pass that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner. + +* Acts 10 + +** Acts 10:1 + +And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band: + +** Acts 10:2 + +A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people and always praying to God. + +** Acts 10:3 + +This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him and saying to him: Cornelius. + +** Acts 10:4 + +And he, beholding him. being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God. + +** Acts 10:5 + +And now send men to Joppe: and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter. + +** Acts 10:6 + +He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do. + +** Acts 10:7 + +And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him. + +** Acts 10:8 + +To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe. + +** Acts 10:9 + +And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour. + +** Acts 10:10 + +And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind. + +** Acts 10:11 + +And he saw the heaven opened and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth: + +** Acts 10:12 + +Wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth and fowls of the air. + +** Acts 10:13 + +And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat. + +** Acts 10:14 + +But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean. + +** Acts 10:15 + +And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common. + +** Acts 10:16 + +And this was done thrice. And presently the vessel was taken up into heaven. + +** Acts 10:17 + +Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate. + +** Acts 10:18 + +And when they had called, they asked if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there. + +** Acts 10:19 + +And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee. + +** Acts 10:20 + +Arise, therefore: get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. + +** Acts 10:21 + +Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek. What is the cause for which you are come? + +** Acts 10:22 + +Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house And to hear words of thee. + +** Acts 10:23 + +Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following, he arose and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him. + +** Acts 10:24 + +And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends. + +** Acts 10:25 + +And it came to pass that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him and falling at his feet adored. + +** Acts 10:26 + +But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise: I myself also am a man. + +** Acts 10:27 + +And talking with him, he went in and found many that were come together. + +** Acts 10:28 + +And he said to them: you know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean. + +** Acts 10:29 + +For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me? + +** Acts 10:30 + +And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour and behold a man stood before me in white apparel and said: + +** Acts 10:31 + +Cornelius, thy prayer is heard and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. + +** Acts 10:32 + +Send therefore to Joppe: and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side. + +** Acts 10:33 + +Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now, therefore, all we are present in thy sight to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord. + +** Acts 10:34 + +And Peter opening his mouth, said: in very deed I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons. + +** Acts 10:35 + +But in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh justice is acceptable to him. + +** Acts 10:36 + +God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all). + +** Acts 10:37 + +You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached. + +** Acts 10:38 + +Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. + +** Acts 10:39 + +And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem: whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree. + +** Acts 10:40 + +Him God raised up the third day and gave him to be made manifest, + +** Acts 10:41 + +Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he arose again from the dead. + +** Acts 10:42 + +And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead. + +** Acts 10:43 + +To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him. + +** Acts 10:44 + +While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word. + +** Acts 10:45 + +And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also. + +** Acts 10:46 + +For they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. + +** Acts 10:47 + +Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we? + +** Acts 10:48 + +And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days. + +* Acts 11 + +** Acts 11:1 + +And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. + +** Acts 11:2 + +And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, + +** Acts 11:3 + +Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised and didst eat with them? + +** Acts 11:4 + +But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying: + +** Acts 11:5 + +I was in the city of Joppe praying: and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. And it came even unto me. + +** Acts 11:6 + +Into which looking, I considered and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth and beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air. + +** Acts 11:7 + +And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat. + +** Acts 11:8 + +And I said: Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth. + +** Acts 11:9 + +And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common. + +** Acts 11:10 + +And this was done three times. And all were taken up again into heaven. + +** Acts 11:11 + +And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea. + +** Acts 11:12 + +And the Spirit said to me that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man's house. + +** Acts 11:13 + +And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him: Send to Joppe and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter, + +** Acts 11:14 + +Who shall speak to thee words whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house. + +** Acts 11:15 + +And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning. + +** Acts 11:16 + +And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. + +** Acts 11:17 + +If then God gave them the same grace as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ: who was I, that could withstand God? + +** Acts 11:18 + +Having heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance, unto life. + +** Acts 11:19 + +Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only. + +** Acts 11:20 + +But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus. + +** Acts 11:21 + +And the hand of he Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord. + +** Acts 11:22 + +And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch. + +** Acts 11:23 + +Who, when he was come and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced. And he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord. + +** Acts 11:24 + +For he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord. + +** Acts 11:25 + +And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch. + +** Acts 11:26 + +And they conversed there in the church a whole year: and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians. + +** Acts 11:27 + +And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch. + +** Acts 11:28 + +And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over the whole world, which came to pass under Claudius. + +** Acts 11:29 + +And the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea. + +** Acts 11:30 + +Which also they did, sending it to the ancients, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. + +* Acts 12 + +** Acts 12:1 + +And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church. + +** Acts 12:2 + +And he killed James, the brother of John, With the sword. + +** Acts 12:3 + +And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes. + +** Acts 12:4 + +And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers, to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people. + +** Acts 12:5 + +Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him. + +** Acts 12:6 + +And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. + +** Acts 12:7 + +And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shined in the room. And he, striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands. + +** Acts 12:8 + +And the angel said to him: Gird thyself and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee and follow me, + +** Acts 12:9 + +And going out, he followed him. And he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision. + +** Acts 12:10 + +And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street. And immediately the angel departed from him. + +** Acts 12:11 + +And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. + +** Acts 12:12 + +And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying. + +** Acts 12:13 + +And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken. whose name was Rhode. + +** Acts 12:14 + +And as soon as she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy: but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate. + +** Acts 12:15 + +But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel. + +** Acts 12:16 + +But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him and were astonished. + +** Acts 12:17 + +But he, beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison. And he said: Tell these things to James and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place. + +** Acts 12:18 + +Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. + +** Acts 12:19 + +And when Herod had sought for him and found him not, having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death. And going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there. + +** Acts 12:20 + +And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him: and, having gained Blastus who was the king's chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him. + +** Acts 12:21 + +And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat and made an oration to them. + +** Acts 12:22 + +And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. + +** Acts 12:23 + +And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and, being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost. + +** Acts 12:24 + +But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied. + +** Acts 12:25 + +And Barnabas and Saul, returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John who was surnamed Mark. + +* Acts 13 + +** Acts 13:1 + +Now there were in the church which was at Antioch prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene and Manahen who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. + +** Acts 13:2 + +And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them. + +** Acts 13:3 + +Then they fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away. + +** Acts 13:4 + +So they, being sent by the Holy Ghost, went to Seleucia: and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. + +** Acts 13:5 + +And when they were come to Salamina, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also in the ministry. + +** Acts 13:6 + +And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu: + +** Acts 13:7 + +Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He, sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God. + +** Acts 13:8 + +But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. + +** Acts 13:9 + +Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking upon him, + +** Acts 13:10 + +Said: O full of all guile and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceases not to pervert the right ways of the Lord. + +** Acts 13:11 + +And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee: and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him: and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand. + +** Acts 13:12 + +Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord. + +** Acts 13:13 + +Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. + +** Acts 13:14 + +But they, passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and, entering into the Synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down. + +** Acts 13:15 + +And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak. + +** Acts 13:16 + +Then Paul rising up and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel and you that fear God, give ear. + +** Acts 13:17 + +The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt: And with an high arm brought them out from thence: + +** Acts 13:18 + +And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert: + +** Acts 13:19 + +And, destroying seven nations in the land of Chaanan, divided their land among them by lot. + +** Acts 13:20 + +As it were, after four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet. + +** Acts 13:21 + +And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years. + +** Acts 13:22 + +And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills. + +** Acts 13:23 + +Of this man's seed, God, according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour Jesus: + +** Acts 13:24 + +John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel. + +** Acts 13:25 + +And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he whom you think me to be. But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. + +** Acts 13:26 + +Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God: to you the word of this salvation is sent. + +** Acts 13:27 + +For they that inhabited Jerusalem and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, judging him, have fulfilled them. + +** Acts 13:28 + +And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. + +** Acts 13:29 + +And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre. + +** Acts 13:30 + +But God raised him up from the dead the third day. + +** Acts 13:31 + +Who was seen for many days by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people. + +** Acts 13:32 + +And we declare unto you that the promise which was made to our fathers, + +** Acts 13:33 + +This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee. + +** Acts 13:34 + +And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David, faithful. + +** Acts 13:35 + +And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption. + +** Acts 13:36 + +For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers and saw corruption. + +** Acts 13:37 + +But he whom God hath raised from the dead saw no corruption. + +** Acts 13:38 + +Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. + +** Acts 13:39 + +In him every one that believeth is justified. + +** Acts 13:40 + +Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets: + +** Acts 13:41 + +Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you. + +** Acts 13:42 + +And as they went out, they desired them that on the next sabbath they would speak unto them these words. + +** Acts 13:43 + +And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews and of the strangers who served God followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. + +** Acts 13:44 + +But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God. + +** Acts 13:45 + +And the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming. + +** Acts 13:46 + +Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles. + +** Acts 13:47 + +For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles: that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth. + +** Acts 13:48 + +And the Gentiles hearing it were glad and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting believed. + +** Acts 13:49 + +And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country. + +** Acts 13:50 + +But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women and the chief men of the city: and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts. + +** Acts 13:51 + +But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium. + +** Acts 13:52 + +And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost. + +* Acts 14 + +** Acts 14:1 + +And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe. + +** Acts 14:2 + +But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren. + +** Acts 14:3 + +A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. + +** Acts 14:4 + +And the multitude of the city was divided. And some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles. + +** Acts 14:5 + +And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously and to stone them: + +** Acts 14:6 + +They, understanding it, fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about: and were there preaching the gospel. + +** Acts 14:7 + +And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked. + +** Acts 14:8 + +This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him and seeing that he had faith to be healed, + +** Acts 14:9 + +Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked. + +** Acts 14:10 + +And when the multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. + +** Acts 14:11 + +And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury: because he was chief speaker. + +** Acts 14:12 + +The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people. + +** Acts 14:13 + +Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul had heard, rending their clothes, they leaped out among the people, crying, + +** Acts 14:14 + +And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals, men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them: + +** Acts 14:15 + +Who in times past, suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. + +** Acts 14:16 + +Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful Seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. + +** Acts 14:17 + +And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing to them. + +** Acts 14:18 + +Now there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium: and, persuading the multitude and stoning Paul, drew him out of the city, thinking him to be dead. + +** Acts 14:19 + +But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. + +** Acts 14:20 + +And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch: + +** Acts 14:21 + +Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. + +** Acts 14:22 + +And when they had ordained to them priests in every church and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed. + +** Acts 14:23 + +And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia. + +** Acts 14:24 + +And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia. + +** Acts 14:25 + +And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished. + +** Acts 14:26 + +And when they were come and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. + +** Acts 14:27 + +And they abode no small time with the disciples. + +* Acts 15 + +** Acts 15:1 + +And some, coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That, except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved. + +** Acts 15:2 + +And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of the other side should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem, about this question. + +** Acts 15:3 + +They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy to all the brethren. + +** Acts 15:4 + +And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them. + +** Acts 15:5 + +But there arose of the sect of the Pharisees some that believed, saying: They must be circumcised and be commanded to observe the law of Moses. + +** Acts 15:6 + +And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter. + +** Acts 15:7 + +And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. + +** Acts 15:8 + +And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us: + +** Acts 15:9 + +And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. + +** Acts 15:10 + +Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? + +** Acts 15:11 + +But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also. + +** Acts 15:12 + +And all the multitude held their peace: and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. + +** Acts 15:13 + +And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me. + +** Acts 15:14 + +Simon hath related how God first visited to take to the Gentiles, a people to his name. + +** Acts 15:15 + +And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written: + +** Acts 15:16 + +After these things I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down: and the ruins thereof I will rebuild. And I will set it up: + +** Acts 15:17 + +That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things. + +** Acts 15:18 + +To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world. + +** Acts 15:19 + +For which cause, judge that they who from among the Gentiles are converted to God are not to be disquieted: + +** Acts 15:20 + +But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols and from fornication and from things strangled and from blood. + +** Acts 15:21 + +For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath. + +** Acts 15:22 + +Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company and to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren. + +** Acts 15:23 + +Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting. + +** Acts 15:24 + +Forasmuch as we have heard that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no commandment: + +** Acts 15:25 + +It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul: + +** Acts 15:26 + +Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. + +** Acts 15:27 + +We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things. + +** Acts 15:28 + +For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things: + +** Acts 15:29 + +That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication: from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well. + +** Acts 15:30 + +They therefore, being dismissed, went down to Antioch and, gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle. + +** Acts 15:31 + +Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. + +** Acts 15:32 + +But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren and confirmed them. + +** Acts 15:33 + +And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren unto them that had sent them. + +** Acts 15:34 + +But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there: and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem. + +** Acts 15:35 + +And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord. + +** Acts 15:36 + +And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do. + +** Acts 15:37 + +And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark. + +** Acts 15:38 + +But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia and not gone with them to the work) might not be received. + +** Acts 15:39 + +And there arose a dissension so that they departed one from another. And Barnabas indeed, taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus. + +** Acts 15:40 + +But Paul, choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God. + +** Acts 15:41 + +And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients. + +* Acts 16 + +** Acts 16:1 + +And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed: but his father was a Gentile. + +** Acts 16:2 + +To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony. + +** Acts 16:3 + +Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. + +** Acts 16:4 + +And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem. + +** Acts 16:5 + +And the churches were confirmed in faith and increased in number daily. + +** Acts 16:6 + +And when they had passed through Phrygia and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia. + +** Acts 16:7 + +And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia: and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not. + +** Acts 16:8 + +And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas. + +** Acts 16:9 + +And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him and saying: Pass over into Macedonia and help us. + +** Acts 16:10 + +And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia: being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. + +** Acts 16:11 + +And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis. + +** Acts 16:12 + +And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together. + +** Acts 16:13 + +And upon the Sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer: and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled. + +** Acts 16:14 + +And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul. + +** Acts 16:15 + +And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us. + +** Acts 16:16 + +And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl having a pythonical spirit met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining. + +** Acts 16:17 + +This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, who preach unto you the way of salvation. + +** Acts 16:18 + +And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go from her. And he went out the same hour. + +** Acts 16:19 + +But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the market place to the rulers. + +** Acts 16:20 + +And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews: + +** Acts 16:21 + +And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans. + +** Acts 16:22 + +And the people ran together against them: and the magistrates, rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods. + +** Acts 16:23 + +And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently. + +** Acts 16:24 + +Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks. + +** Acts 16:25 + +And at midnight, Paul and Silas, praying, praised God. And they that were in prison heard them. + +** Acts 16:26 + +And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and the bands of all were loosed. + +** Acts 16:27 + +And the keeper of the prison, awakening out of his sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. + +** Acts 16:28 + +But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here. + +** Acts 16:29 + +Then calling for a light, he went in: and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas. + +** Acts 16:30 + +And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved? + +** Acts 16:31 + +But they said: believe in the Lord Jesus: and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. + +** Acts 16:32 + +And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. + +** Acts 16:33 + +And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes: and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately. + +** Acts 16:34 + +And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them: and rejoiced with all his house, believing God. + +** Acts 16:35 + +And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying: Let those men go. + +** Acts 16:36 + +And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart. And go in peace. + +** Acts 16:37 + +But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison. And now do they thrust us out privately? Not so: but let them come. + +** Acts 16:38 + +And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid: hearing that they were Romans. + +** Acts 16:39 + +And coming, they besought them: and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city. + +** Acts 16:40 + +And they went out of the prison and entered into the house of Lydia: and having seen the brethren, they comforted them and departed. + +* Acts 17 + +** Acts 17:1 + +And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. + +** Acts 17:2 + +And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them. And for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures: + +** Acts 17:3 + +Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you. + +** Acts 17:4 + +And some of them believed and were associated to Paul and Silas: and of those that served God and of the Gentiles a great multitude: and of noble women not a few. + +** Acts 17:5 + +But the Jews, moved with envy and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar: and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them out unto the people. + +** Acts 17:6 + +And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar are come hither also: + +** Acts 17:7 + +Whom Jason hath received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. + +** Acts 17:8 + +And they stirred up the people: and the rulers of the city, hearing these things, + +** Acts 17:9 + +And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go. + +** Acts 17:10 + +But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews. + +** Acts 17:11 + +Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so. + +** Acts 17:12 + +And many indeed of them believed: and of honourable women that were Gentiles and of men, not a few. + +** Acts 17:13 + +And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude. + +** Acts 17:14 + +And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea: but Silas and Timothy remained there. + +** Acts 17:15 + +And they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed. + +** Acts 17:16 + +Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry. + +** Acts 17:17 + +He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews and with them that served God: and in the market place, every day, with them that were there. + +** Acts 17:18 + +And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him. And some said: What is it that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods. Because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. + +** Acts 17:19 + +And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of? + +** Acts 17:20 + +For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean. + +** Acts 17:21 + +(Now all the Athenians and strangers that were there employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.) + +** Acts 17:22 + +But Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. + +** Acts 17:23 + +For passing by and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the Unknown God. What therefore you worship without knowing it, that I preach to you: + +** Acts 17:24 + +God, who made the world and all things therein, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. + +** Acts 17:25 + +Neither is he served with men's hands, as though he needed any thing: seeing it is he who giveth to all life and breath and all things: + +** Acts 17:26 + +And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times and the limits of their habitation. + +** Acts 17:27 + +That they should seek God, if haply they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us. + +** Acts 17:28 + +For in him we live and move and are: as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring. + +** Acts 17:29 + +Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold or silver or stone, the graving of art and device of man. + +** Acts 17:30 + +And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men that all should every where do penance. + +** Acts 17:31 + +Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed: giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead. + +** Acts 17:32 + +And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked. But others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter. + +** Acts 17:33 + +So Paul went out from among them. + +** Acts 17:34 + +But certain men, adhering to him, did believe: among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them. + +* Acts 18 + +** Acts 18:1 + +After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth. + +** Acts 18:2 + +And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome), he came to them. + +** Acts 18:3 + +And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them and wrought. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.) + +** Acts 18:4 + +And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. + +** Acts 18:5 + +And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. + +** Acts 18:6 + +But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads: I am clean. From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. + +** Acts 18:7 + +And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue. + +** Acts 18:8 + +And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians hearing, believed and were baptized. + +** Acts 18:9 + +And the Lord said to Paul in the night, by a vision: Do not fear, but speak. And hold not thy peace, + +** Acts 18:10 + +Because I am with thee and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee. For I have much people in this city. + +** Acts 18:11 + +And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God. + +** Acts 18:12 + +But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat, + +** Acts 18:13 + +Saying: This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. + +** Acts 18:14 + +And when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were some matter of injustice or an heinous deed, O Jews, I should with reason bear with you. + +** Acts 18:15 + +But if they be questions of word and names and of your law, look you to it. I will not be judge of such things. + +** Acts 18:16 + +And he drove them from the judgment seat. + +** Acts 18:17 + +And all laying hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things. + +** Acts 18:18 + +But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae. For he had a vow. + +** Acts 18:19 + +And he came to Ephesus and left them there. But he himself, entering into the synagogue, disputed with the Jews. + +** Acts 18:20 + +And when they desired him that he would tarry a longer time, he consented not: + +** Acts 18:21 + +But taking his leave and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus. + +** Acts 18:22 + +And going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and saluted the church: and so came down to Antioch. + +** Acts 18:23 + +And after he had spent some time there, he departed and went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, confirming all the disciples. + +** Acts 18:24 + +Now a certain Jew, named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, one mighty in the scriptures. + +** Acts 18:25 + +This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, spoke and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. + +** Acts 18:26 + +This man therefore began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Whom when Priscilla and Aquila had heard, they took him to them and expounded to him the way of the Lord more diligently. + +** Acts 18:27 + +And whereas he was desirous to go to Achaia, the brethren exhorting wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, when he was come, helped them much who had believed. + +** Acts 18:28 + +For with much vigour he convinced the Jews openly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. + +* Acts 19 + +** Acts 19:1 + +And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples. + +** Acts 19:2 + +And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost. + +** Acts 19:3 + +And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism. + +** Acts 19:4 + +Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance saying: That they should believe in him, who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus. + +** Acts 19:5 + +Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. + +** Acts 19:6 + +And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them: and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. + +** Acts 19:7 + +And all the men were about twelve. + +** Acts 19:8 + +And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God. + +** Acts 19:9 + +But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. + +** Acts 19:10 + +And this continued for the space of two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles. + +** Acts 19:11 + +And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles. + +** Acts 19:12 + +So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons: and the diseases departed from them: and the wicked spirits went out of them. + +** Acts 19:13 + +Now some also of the Jewish exorcists, who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth. + +** Acts 19:14 + +And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this. + +** Acts 19:15 + +But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know: and Paul I know. But who are you? + +** Acts 19:16 + +And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. + +** Acts 19:17 + +And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt a Ephesus. And fear fell on them all: and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. + +** Acts 19:18 + +And many of them that believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds + +** Acts 19:19 + +And many of them who had followed curious arts brought together their books and burnt them before all. And, counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. + +** Acts 19:20 + +So mightily grew the word of God and was confirmed. + +** Acts 19:21 + +And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also. + +** Acts 19:22 + +And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia. + +** Acts 19:23 + +Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord. + +** Acts 19:24 + +For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen. + +** Acts 19:25 + +Whom he calling together with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade. + +** Acts 19:26 + +And you see and hear that this Paul, by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: they are not gods which are made by hands. + +** Acts 19:27 + +So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing! Yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. + +** Acts 19:28 + +Having heard these things, they were full of anger and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians! + +** Acts 19:29 + +And the whole city was filled with confusion. And having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. + +** Acts 19:30 + +And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. + +** Acts 19:31 + +And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre. + +** Acts 19:32 + +Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused: and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together. + +** Acts 19:33 + +And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction, + +** Acts 19:34 + +But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two, hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians! + +** Acts 19:35 + +And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana and of Jupiter's offspring? + +** Acts 19:36 + +For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rashly. + +** Acts 19:37 + +For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege nor of blasphemy against your goddess. + +** Acts 19:38 + +But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open: and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse one another. + +** Acts 19:39 + +And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly. + +** Acts 19:40 + +For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly. + +* Acts 20 + +** Acts 20:1 + +And after the tumult was ceased, Paul calling to him the disciples and exhorting them, took his leave and set forward to go into Macedonia. + +** Acts 20:2 + +And when he had gone over those parts and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece: + +** Acts 20:3 + +Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria. So he took a resolution to return through Macedonia. + +** Acts 20:4 + +And there accompanied him Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, of Berea: and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus: and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy: and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. + +** Acts 20:5 + +These, going before, stayed for us at Troas. + +** Acts 20:6 + +But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the azymes and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days. + +** Acts 20:7 + +And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow. And he continued his speech until midnight. + +** Acts 20:8 + +And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled. + +** Acts 20:9 + +And a certain young man named Eutychus, sitting on the window, being oppressed with a deep sleep (as Paul was long preaching), by occasion of his sleep fell from the third loft down and was taken up dead. + +** Acts 20:10 + +To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him and, embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him. + +** Acts 20:11 + +Then going up and breaking bread and tasting and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed. + +** Acts 20:12 + +And they brought the youth alive and were not a little comforted. + +** Acts 20:13 + +But we going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul. For so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land. + +** Acts 20:14 + +And when he had met with us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene. + +** Acts 20:15 + +And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios: and the next day we arrived at Samos: and the day following we came to Miletus. + +** Acts 20:16 + +For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted. if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem. + +** Acts 20:17 + +And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church. + +** Acts 20:18 + +And when they were come to him and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time. + +** Acts 20:19 + +Serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews: + +** Acts 20:20 + +How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house, + +** Acts 20:21 + +Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. + +** Acts 20:22 + +And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there: + +** Acts 20:23 + +Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem. + +** Acts 20:24 + +But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. + +** Acts 20:25 + +And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. + +** Acts 20:26 + +Wherefore I take you to witness this day that I am clear from the blood of all men. + +** Acts 20:27 + +For I have not spread to declare unto you all, the counsel of God. + +** Acts 20:28 + +Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood. + +** Acts 20:29 + +I know that after my departure ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. + +** Acts 20:30 + +And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. + +** Acts 20:31 + +Therefore watch, keeping in memory that for three years I ceased not with tears to admonish every one of you, night and day. + +** Acts 20:32 + +And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified. + +** Acts 20:33 + +I have not coveted any man's silver, gold or apparel, as + +** Acts 20:34 + +You yourselves know. For such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished. + +** Acts 20:35 + +I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive. + +** Acts 20:36 + +And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all. + +** Acts 20:37 + +And there was much weeping among them all. And falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him, + +** Acts 20:38 + +Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship. + +* Acts 21 + +** Acts 21:1 + +And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes: and from thence to Patara. + +** Acts 21:2 + +And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard and set forth. + +** Acts 21:3 + +And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden. + +** Acts 21:4 + +And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. + +** Acts 21:5 + +And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we kneeled down on the shore: and we prayed. + +** Acts 21:6 + +And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship. And they returned home. + +** Acts 21:7 + +But we, having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them. + +** Acts 21:8 + +And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him. + +** Acts 21:9 + +And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy. + +** Acts 21:10 + +And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus. + +** Acts 21:11 + +Who, when he was come to us, took Paul's girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. + +** Acts 21:12 + +Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem. + +** Acts 21:13 + +Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus. + +** Acts 21:14 + +And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done. + +** Acts 21:15 + +And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem. + +** Acts 21:16 + +And there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. + +** Acts 21:17 + +And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. + +** Acts 21:18 + +And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James: and all the ancients were assembled. + +** Acts 21:19 + +Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. + +** Acts 21:20 + +But they hearing it, glorified God and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law. + +** Acts 21:21 + +Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles to depart from Moses: saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom. + +** Acts 21:22 + +What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. + +** Acts 21:23 + +Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them. + +** Acts 21:24 + +Take these and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads. And all will know that the things which they have heard of these are false: but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law. + +** Acts 21:25 + +But, as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. + +** Acts 21:26 + +Then Paul took the men and, the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them. + +** Acts 21:27 + +But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and laid hands upon him, crying out: + +** Acts 21:28 + +Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people and the law and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple and hath violated this holy place. + +** Acts 21:29 + +(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him. whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) + +** Acts 21:30 + +And he whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut. + +** Acts 21:31 + +And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band that all Jerusalem was in confusion. + +** Acts 21:32 + +Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul. + +** Acts 21:33 + +Then the tribune, coming near, took him and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was and what he had done. + +** Acts 21:34 + +And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. + +** Acts 21:35 + +And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people. + +** Acts 21:36 + +For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him! + +** Acts 21:37 + +And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May I speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek? + +** Acts 21:38 + +Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers? + +** Acts 21:39 + +But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people. + +** Acts 21:40 + +And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying: + +* Acts 22 + +** Acts 22:1 + +Men, brethren and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give unto you. + +** Acts 22:2 + +(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.) + +** Acts 22:3 + +And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day: + +** Acts 22:4 + +Who persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women, + +** Acts 22:5 + +As the high priest doth bear me witness and all the ancients. From whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished. + +** Acts 22:6 + +And it came to pass, as I was going and drawing nigh to Damascus, at mid-day, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great light: + +** Acts 22:7 + +And falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? + +** Acts 22:8 + +And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. + +** Acts 22:9 + +And they that were with me saw indeed the light: but they heard not the voice of him that spoke with me. + +** Acts 22:10 + +And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do. + +** Acts 22:11 + +And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus, + +** Acts 22:12 + +And one Ananias, a man according to the law, having testimony of all the Jews who dwelt there, + +** Acts 22:13 + +Coming to me and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I, the same hour, looked upon him. + +** Acts 22:14 + +But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will and see the Just One and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth. + +** Acts 22:15 + +For thou shalt be his witness to all men of those things which thou hast seen and heard. + +** Acts 22:16 + +And now why tarriest thou? Rise up and be baptized and wash away thy sins, invoking his name. + +** Acts 22:17 + +And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance, + +** Acts 22:18 + +And saw him saying unto me: Make haste and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. + +** Acts 22:19 + +And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison and beat in every synagogue them that believed in thee. + +** Acts 22:20 + +And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented: and kept the garments of them that killed him. + +** Acts 22:21 + +And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off will I send thee. + +** Acts 22:22 + +And they heard him until this word and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth. For it is not fit that he should live. + +** Acts 22:23 + +And as they cried out and threw off their garments and cast dust into the air, + +** Acts 22:24 + +The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him. + +** Acts 22:25 + +And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned? + +** Acts 22:26 + +Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen. + +** Acts 22:27 + +And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me. Art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea. + +** Acts 22:28 + +And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so. + +** Acts 22:29 + +Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen and because he had bound him. + +** Acts 22:30 + +But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him and commanded the priests to come together and all the council: and, bringing forth Paul, he set him before them. + +* Acts 23 + +** Acts 23:1 + +And Paul, looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day. + +** Acts 23:2 + +And the high priest, Ananias, commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth. + +** Acts 23:3 + +Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For, sittest thou to judge me according to the law and, contrary to the law, commandest me to be struck? + +** Acts 23:4 + +And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God? + +** Acts 23:5 + +And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people. + +** Acts 23:6 + +And Paul, knowing that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. + +** Acts 23:7 + +And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And the multitude was divided. + +** Acts 23:8 + +For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. + +** Acts 23:9 + +And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel? + +** Acts 23:10 + +And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune, fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and to take him by force from among them and to bring him into the castle. + +** Acts 23:11 + +And the night following, the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. + +** Acts 23:12 + +And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they killed Paul. + +** Acts 23:13 + +And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy. + +** Acts 23:14 + +Who came to the chief priests and the ancients and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul. + +** Acts 23:15 + +Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him. + +** Acts 23:16 + +Which when Paul's sister's son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul. + +** Acts 23:17 + +And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune: for he hath some thing to tell him. + +** Acts 23:18 + +And he, taking him, brought him to the tribune and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee. + +** Acts 23:19 + +And the tribune, taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me? + +** Acts 23:20 + +And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldst bring forth Paul to-morrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him. + +** Acts 23:21 + +But do not thou give credit to them: for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat nor to drink, till they have killed him. And they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee. + +** Acts 23:22 + +The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man that he had made known these things unto him. + +** Acts 23:23 + +Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea: and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, for the third hour of the night. + +** Acts 23:24 + +And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on and bring him safe to Felix the governor. + +** Acts 23:25 + +(For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him: and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner: + +** Acts 23:26 + +Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting: + +** Acts 23:27 + +This man, being taken by the Jews and ready to be killed by them, I rescued, coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman. + +** Acts 23:28 + +And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council. + +** Acts 23:29 + +Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands. + +** Acts 23:30 + +And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell. + +** Acts 23:31 + +Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris. + +** Acts 23:32 + +And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle. + +** Acts 23:33 + +Who, when they were come to Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him. + +** Acts 23:34 + +And when he had read it and had asked of what province he was and understood that he was of Cilicia: + +** Acts 23:35 + +I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. + +* Acts 24 + +** Acts 24:1 + +And after five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with some ancients and one Tertullus, an orator, who went to the governor against Paul. + +** Acts 24:2 + +And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas, through thee we live in much peace and many things are rectified by thy providence, + +** Acts 24:3 + +We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving. + +** Acts 24:4 + +But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in a few words. + +** Acts 24:5 + +We have found this to be a pestilent man and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world: and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes. + +** Acts 24:6 + +Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law. + +** Acts 24:7 + +But Lysias the tribune, coming upon us with great violence, took him away out of our hands; + +** Acts 24:8 + +Commanding his accusers to come to thee. Of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things whereof we accuse him. + +** Acts 24:9 + +And the Jews also added and said that these things were so. + +** Acts 24:10 + +Then Paul answered (the governor making a sign to him to speak): Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself. + +** Acts 24:11 + +For thou mayest understand that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to adore in Jerusalem: + +** Acts 24:12 + +And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or causing any concourse of the people: neither in the synagogues, nor in the city. + +** Acts 24:13 + +Neither can they prove unto thee the things whereof they now accuse me. + +** Acts 24:14 + +But this I confess to thee that according to the way which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets: + +** Acts 24:15 + +Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust. + +** Acts 24:16 + +And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence, towards God and towards men. + +** Acts 24:17 + +Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation and offerings and vows. + +** Acts 24:18 + +In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude nor with tumult. + +** Acts 24:19 + +But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee and to accuse, if they had anything against me: + +** Acts 24:20 + +Or let these men themselves say if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council, + +** Acts 24:21 + +Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you. + +** Acts 24:22 + +And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you. + +** Acts 24:23 + +And he commanded a centurion to keep him: and that he should be easy and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him. + +** Acts 24:24 + +And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul and heard of him the faith that is in Christ Jesus. + +** Acts 24:25 + +And as he treated of justice and chastity and of the judgment to come, Felix, being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee. + +** Acts 24:26 + +Hoping also withal that money should be given him by Paul: for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him. + +** Acts 24:27 + +But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. + +* Acts 25 + +** Acts 25:1 + +Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Cesarea. + +** Acts 25:2 + +And the chief priests and principal men of the Jews went unto him against Paul: and they besought him, + +** Acts 25:3 + +Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way. + +** Acts 25:4 + +But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea: and that he himself would very shortly depart thither. + +** Acts 25:5 + +Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man. + +** Acts 25:6 + +And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, he sat in the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought. + +** Acts 25:7 + +Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievious causes, which they could not prove: + +** Acts 25:8 + +Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing. + +** Acts 25:9 + +But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things before me? + +** Acts 25:10 + +Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest. + +** Acts 25:11 + +For if I have injured them or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar. + +** Acts 25:12 + +Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go. + +** Acts 25:13 + +And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea, to salute Festus. + +** Acts 25:14 + +And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix. + +** Acts 25:15 + +About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the ancients of the Jews came unto me, desiring condemnation against him. + +** Acts 25:16 + +To whom I answered: it is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge. + +** Acts 25:17 + +When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought. + +** Acts 25:18 + +Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of this which I thought ill of: + +** Acts 25:19 + +But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. + +** Acts 25:20 + +I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things. + +** Acts 25:21 + +But Paul, appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar. + +** Acts 25:22 + +And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. + +** Acts 25:23 + +And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp and had entered into the hall of audience with the tribunes and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment, Paul was brought forth. + +** Acts 25:24 + +And Festus saith: King Agrippa and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer. + +** Acts 25:25 + +Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. + +** Acts 25:26 + +Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause, I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, examination being made, I may have what to write. + +** Acts 25:27 + +For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to signify the things laid to his charge. + +* Acts 26 + +** Acts 26:1 + +Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul, stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer. + +** Acts 26:2 + +I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews. + +** Acts 26:3 + +Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions, that are among the Jews. Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. + +** Acts 26:4 + +And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know: + +** Acts 26:5 + +Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived, a Pharisee. + +** Acts 26:6 + +And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment: + +** Acts 26:7 + +Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews. + +** Acts 26:8 + +Why should it be thought a thing incredible that God should raise the dead? + +** Acts 26:9 + +And I indeed did formerly think that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. + +** Acts 26:10 + +Which also I did at Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests. And when they were put to death, I brought the sentence. + +** Acts 26:11 + +And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities. + +** Acts 26:12 + +Whereupon, when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest, + +** Acts 26:13 + +At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that were in company with me. + +** Acts 26:14 + +And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the good. + +** Acts 26:15 + +And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. + +** Acts 26:16 + +But rise up and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister and a witness of those things which thou hast seen and of those things wherein I will appear to thee, + +** Acts 26:17 + +Delivering thee from the people and from the nations unto which now I send thee: + +** Acts 26:18 + +To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me. + +** Acts 26:19 + +Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision. + +** Acts 26:20 + +But to them first that are at Damascus and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance. + +** Acts 26:21 + +For this cause, the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me. + +** Acts 26:22 + +But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass: + +** Acts 26:23 + +That Christ should suffer and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead and should shew light to the people and to the Gentiles. + +** Acts 26:24 + +As he spoke these things and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad. + +** Acts 26:25 + +And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness. + +** Acts 26:26 + +For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner. + +** Acts 26:27 + +Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest. + +** Acts 26:28 + +And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian. + +** Acts 26:29 + +And Paul said: I would to God that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands. + +** Acts 26:30 + +And the king rose up, and the governor and Bernice and they that sat with them. + +** Acts 26:31 + +And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands. + +** Acts 26:32 + +And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar. + +* Acts 27 + +** Acts 27:1 + +And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta, + +** Acts 27:2 + +Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us. + +** Acts 27:3 + +And the day following, we came to Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends and to take care of himself. + +** Acts 27:4 + +And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. + +** Acts 27:5 + +And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia. + +** Acts 27:6 + +And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it. + +** Acts 27:7 + +And when for many days we had sailed slowly and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone. + +** Acts 27:8 + +And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa. + +** Acts 27:9 + +And when much time was spent and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them, + +** Acts 27:10 + +Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. + +** Acts 27:11 + +But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul. + +** Acts 27:12 + +And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice, to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest. + +** Acts 27:13 + +And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete. + +** Acts 27:14 + +But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo. + +** Acts 27:15 + +And when the ship was caught and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven. + +** Acts 27:16 + +And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat. + +** Acts 27:17 + +Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard and so were driven. + +** Acts 27:18 + +And we, being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship. + +** Acts 27:19 + +And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tacking of the ship. + +** Acts 27:20 + +And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and no small storms lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away. + +** Acts 27:21 + +And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me and not have loosed from Crete and have gained this harm and loss. + +** Acts 27:22 + +And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship. + +** Acts 27:23 + +For an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, + +** Acts 27:24 + +Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. + +** Acts 27:25 + +Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall so be, as it hath been told me. + +** Acts 27:26 + +And we must come unto a certain island. + +** Acts 27:27 + +But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country. + +** Acts 27:28 + +Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms: and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms. + +** Acts 27:29 + +Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern: and wished for the day. + +** Acts 27:30 + +But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship, + +** Acts 27:31 + +Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved. + +** Acts 27:32 + +Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall off. + +** Acts 27:33 + +And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited and continued fasting, taking nothing. + +** Acts 27:34 + +Wherefore, I pray you to take some meat for your health's sake: for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish. + +** Acts 27:35 + +And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat. + +** Acts 27:36 + +Then were they all of better cheer: and they also took some meat. + +** Acts 27:37 + +And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. + +** Acts 27:38 + +And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea. + +** Acts 27:39 + +And when it was day, they knew not the land. But they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship. + +** Acts 27:40 + +And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands. And hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore. + +** Acts 27:41 + +And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground. And the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea. + +** Acts 27:42 + +And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out should escape. + +** Acts 27:43 + +But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done. And he commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and save themselves and get to land. + +** Acts 27:44 + +And the rest, some they carried on boards and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass that every soul got safe to land. + +* Acts 28 + +** Acts 28:1 + +And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy. + +** Acts 28:2 + +For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain and of the cold. + +** Acts 28:3 + +And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks and had laid them on the fire, a viper, coming out of the heat, fastened on his hand. + +** Acts 28:4 + +And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live. + +** Acts 28:5 + +And he indeed, shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm. + +** Acts 28:6 + +But they supposed that he would begin to swell up and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said that he was a god. + +** Acts 28:7 + +Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius: who, receiving us for three days, entertained us courteously. + +** Acts 28:8 + +And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux.

And when he had prayed and laid his hands on him, he healed him. + +** Acts 28:9 + +Which being done, all that had diseases in the island came and were healed. + +** Acts 28:10 + +Who also honoured us with many honours: and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary. + +** Acts 28:11 + +And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors. + +** Acts 28:12 + +And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days. + +** Acts 28:13 + +From thence, compassing by the shore, we came to Rhegium: and after one day, the south wind blowing, we came the second day to Puteoli: + +** Acts 28:14 + +Where, finding brethren, we were desired to tarry with them seven days.

Whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God and took courage. + +** Acts 28:16 + +And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him. + +** Acts 28:17 + +And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. + +** Acts 28:18 + +Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me. + +** Acts 28:19 + +But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar: not that I had anything to accuse my nation of. + +** Acts 28:20 + +For this cause therefore I desired to see you and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain. + +** Acts 28:21 + +But they said to him: We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea: neither did any of the brethren that came hither relate or speak any evil of thee. + +** Acts 28:22 + +But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted. + +** Acts 28:23 + +And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings. To whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening. + +** Acts 28:24 + +And some believed the things that were said: but some believed not. + +** Acts 28:25 + +And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, Paul speaking this one word: Well did the Holy Ghost speak to our fathers by Isaias the prophet, + +** Acts 28:26 + +Saying: Go to this people and say to them: With the ear you shall hear and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see and shall not perceive. + +** Acts 28:27 + +For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily and their eyes they have shut, lest perhaps they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and should be converted: and I should heal them. + +** Acts 28:28 + +Be it known therefore to you that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles: and they will hear it. + +** Acts 28:29 + +And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves. + +** Acts 28:30 + +And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging: and he received all that came in to him, + +** Acts 28:31 + +Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.

be masters thereof: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished. + +** Baruch 2:35 + +And I will make with them another covenant that shall be everlasting, to be their God, and they

think upon thy hand, and upon thy name at this time: + +** Baruch 3:6 + +For thou art the Lord our God, and we will praise thee, O Lord: + +** Baruch 3:7 + +Because for this end thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity, for we are converted from the iniquity of our fathers, who sinned before thee. + +** Baruch 3:8 + +And behold we are at this day in our captivity, whereby thou hast scattered us to be a reproach, and a curse, and an offence, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, who departed from thee, O Lord our God. + +** Baruch 3:9 + +Hear, O Israel, the commandments of life: give ear, that thou mayst learn wisdom. + +** Baruch 3:10 + +How happeneth it, O Israel, that thou art in thy enemies' land? + +** Baruch 3:11 + +Thou art grown old in a strange country, thou art defiled with the dead: thou art counted with them that go down into hell. + +** Baruch 3:12 + +Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom: + +** Baruch 3:13 + +For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou hadst surely dwelt in peace for ever. + +** Baruch 3:14 + +Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding: that thou mayst know also where is length of days and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace. + +** Baruch 3:15 + +Who hath found out her place? and who hath gone in to her treasures? + +** Baruch 3:16 + +Where are the princes of the nations, and they that rule over the beasts that are upon the earth? + +** Baruch 3:17 + +That take their diversion with the birds of the air. + +** Baruch 3:18 + +That hoard up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and there is no end of their getting? who work in silver and are solicitous, and their works are unsearchable. + +** Baruch 3:19 + +They are cut off, and are gone down to hell, and others are risen up in their place. + +** Baruch 3:20 + +Young men have seen the light, and dwelt upon the earth: but the way of knowledge they have not known, + +** Baruch 3:21 + +Nor have they understood the paths thereof, neither have their children received it, it is far from their face. + +** Baruch 3:22 + +It hath not been heard of in the land of Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman. + +** Baruch 3:23 + +The children of Agar also, that search after the wisdom that is of the earth, the merchants of Merrha, and of Theman, and the tellers of fables, and searchers of prudence and understanding: but the way of wisdom they have not known, neither have they remembered her paths. + +** Baruch 3:24 + +O Israel, how great is the house of God, and how vast is the place of his possession! + +** Baruch 3:25 + +It is great, and hath no end: it is high and immense. + +** Baruch 3:26 + +There were the giants, those renowned men that were from the beginning, of great stature, expert in war. + +** Baruch 3:27 + +The Lord chose not them, neither did they find the way of knowledge: therefore did they perish. + +** Baruch 3:28 + +And because they had not wisdom, they perished through their folly. + +** Baruch 3:29 + +Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought her down from the clouds? + +** Baruch 3:30 + +Who hath passed over the sea, and found her, and brought her preferably to chosen gold? + +** Baruch 3:31 + +There is none that is able to know her ways, nor that can search out her paths: + +** Baruch 3:32 + +But he that knoweth all things, knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore, and filled it with cattle and fourfooted beasts: + +** Baruch 3:33 + +He that sendeth forth the light, and it goeth: and hath called it, and it obeyeth him with trembling. + +** Baruch 3:34 + +And the stars have given light in their watches, and rejoiced:

accounted of in comparison of him. + +** Baruch 3:37 + +He found out all the way of knowledge, and gave it to Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved. + +** Baruch 3:38 + +Afterwards he was seen upon earth, and conversed with men. + +* Baruch 4 + +** Baruch 4:1 + +This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law, that is for ever: all they that keep it, shall come to life: but they that have forsaken it, to death. + +** Baruch 4:2 + +Return, O Jacob, and take hold of it, walk in the way by its brightness, in the presence of the light thereof. + +** Baruch 4:3 + +Give not thy honour to another, nor thy dignity to a strange nation. + +** Baruch 4:4 + +We are happy, O Israel: because the things that are pleasing to God, are made known to us. + +** Baruch 4:5 + +Be of good comfort, O people of God, the memorial of Israel: + +** Baruch 4:6 + +You have been sold to the Gentiles, not for your destruction: but because you provoked God to wrath, you are delivered to your adversaries. + +** Baruch 4:7 + +For you have provoked him who made you, the eternal God, offering sacrifice to devils, and not to God. + +** Baruch 4:8 + +For you have forgotten God, who brought you up, and you have grieved Jerusalem that nursed you. + +** Baruch 4:9 + +For she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, and she said: Give ear, all you that dwell near Sion, for God hath brought upon me great mourning: + +** Baruch 4:10 + +For I have seen the captivity of my people, of my sons, and my daughters, which the Eternal hath brought upon them. + +** Baruch 4:11 + +For I nourished them with joy: but I sent them away with weeping and mourning. + +** Baruch 4:12 + +Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and desolate: I am forsaken of many for the sins of my children, because they departed from the law of God. + +** Baruch 4:13 + +And they have not known his justices, nor walked by the ways of God's commandments, neither have they entered by the paths of his truth and justice. + +** Baruch 4:14 + +Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Eternal hath brought upon them. + +** Baruch 4:15 + +For he hath brought a nation upon them from afar, a wicked nation, and of a strange tongue: + +** Baruch 4:16 + +Who have neither reverenced the ancient, nor pitied children, and have carried away the beloved of the widow, and have left me all alone without children. + +** Baruch 4:17 + +But as for me, what help can I give you? + +** Baruch 4:18 + +But he that hath brought the evils upon you, he will deliver you out of the hands of your enemies. + +** Baruch 4:19 + +Go your way, my children, go your way: for I am left alone. + +** Baruch 4:20 + +I have put off the robe of peace, and have put upon me the sackcloth of supplication, and I will cry to the most High in my days. + +** Baruch 4:21 + +Be of good comfort, my children, cry to the Lord, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the princes your enemies. + +** Baruch 4:22 + +For my hope is in the Eternal that he will save you: and joy is come upon me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall come to you from our everlasting Saviour. + +** Baruch 4:23 + +For I sent you forth with mourning and weeping: but the Lord will bring you back to me with joy and gladness for ever. + +** Baruch 4:24 + +For as the neighbours of Sion have now seen your captivity from God: so shall they also shortly see your salvation from God, which shall come upon you with great honour, and everlasting glory. + +** Baruch 4:25 + +My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you: for thy enemy hath persecuted thee, but thou shalt quickly see his destruction: and thou shalt get up upon his neck. + +** Baruch 4:26 + +My delicate ones have walked rough ways, for they were taken away as a flock made a prey by the enemies. + +** Baruch 4:27 + +Be of good comfort, my children, and cry to the Lord: for you shall be remembered by him that hath led you away. + +** Baruch 4:28 + +For as it was your mind to go astray from God; so when you return again you shall seek him ten times as much. + +** Baruch 4:29 + +For he that hath brought evils upon you, shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation. + +** Baruch 4:30 + +Be of good heart, O Jerusalem: for he exhorteth thee, that named thee. + +** Baruch 4:31 + +The wicked that have afflicted thee, shall perish: and they that have rejoiced at thy ruin, shall be punished. + +** Baruch 4:32 + +The cities which thy children have served, shall be punished: and she that received thy sons. + +** Baruch 4:33 + +For as she rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad of thy fall: so shall she be grieved for her own desolation. + +** Baruch 4:34 + +And the joy of her multitude shall be cut off: and her gladness shall be turned to mourning. + +** Baruch 4:35 + +For fire shall come upon her from the Eternal, long to endure, and she shall be inhabited by devils for a great time. + +** Baruch 4:36 + +Look about thee, O Jerusalem, towards the east, and behold the joy that cometh to thee from God. + +** Baruch 4:37 + +For behold thy children come, whom thou sentest away scattered, they come gathered together from the east even to the west, at the word of the Holy One rejoicing for the honour of God. + +* Baruch 5 + +** Baruch 5:1 + +Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of thy mourning, and affliction: and put on the beauty, and honour of that everlasting glory which thou hast from God. + +** Baruch 5:2 + +God will clothe thee with the double garment of justice, and will set a crown on thy head of everlasting honour. + +** Baruch 5:3 + +For God will shew his brightness in thee, to every one under heaven. + +** Baruch 5:4 + +For thy name shall be named to thee by God for ever: the peace of justice, and honour of piety. + +** Baruch 5:5 + +Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high: and look about towards the east, and behold thy children gathered together from the rising to the setting sun, by the word of the Holy One rejoicing in the remembrance of God. + +** Baruch 5:6 + +For they went out from thee on foot, led by the enemies: but the Lord will bring them to thee exalted with honour as children of the kingdom. + +** Baruch 5:7 + +For God hath appointed to bring down every high mountain, and the everlasting rocks, and to fill up the valleys to make them even with the ground: that Israel may walk diligently to the honour of God. + +** Baruch 5:8 + +Moreover the woods, and every sweetsmelling tree have overshadowed Israel by the commandment of God. + +** Baruch 5:9 + +For God will bring Israel with joy in the light of his majesty, with mercy, and justice, that cometh from him. + +* Baruch 6 + +** Baruch 6:1 + +For the sins that you have committed before God, you shall be carried away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon. + +** Baruch 6:2 + +And when you are come into Babylon, you shall be there many years, and for a long time, even to seven generations: and after that I will bring you away from thence with peace. + +** Baruch 6:3 + +But now, you shall see in Babylon gods of gold, and of silver, and of stone, and of wood borne upon shoulders, causing fear to the Gentiles. + +** Baruch 6:4 + +Beware therefore that you imitate not the doings of others, and be afraid, and the fear of them should seize upon you. + +** Baruch 6:5 + +But when you see the multitude behind, and before, adoring them, say you in your hearts: Thou oughtest to be adored, O Lord. + +** Baruch 6:6 + +For my angel is with you: And I myself will demand an account of your souls. + +** Baruch 6:7 + +They shall not pity the widow, nor do good to the fatherless. + +** Baruch 6:8 + +And as if it were for a maiden that loveth to go gay: so do they take gold and make them up. + +** Baruch 6:9 + +Their gods have golden crowns upon their heads: whereof the priests secretly convey away from them gold, and silver, and bestow it on themselves. + +** Baruch 6:10 + +Yea and they give thereof to prostitutes, and they dress out harlots: and again when they receive it of the harlots, they adorn their gods. + +** Baruch 6:11 + +And these gods cannot defend themselves from the rust, and the moth. + +** Baruch 6:12 + +But when they have covered them with a purple garment, they wipe their face because of the dust of the house, which is very much among them. + +** Baruch 6:13 + +This holdeth a sceptre as a man, as a judge of the country, but cannot put to death one that offendeth him. + +** Baruch 6:14 + +And this hath in his hand a sword, or an axe, but cannot save himself from war, or from robbers, whereby be it known to you, that they are not gods. + +** Baruch 6:15 + +Therefore fear them not. For as a vessel that a man uses when it is broken becometh useless, even so are their gods: + +** Baruch 6:16 + +When they are placed in the house, their eyes are full of dust by the feet of them that go in. + +** Baruch 6:17 + +And as the gates are made sure on every side upon one that hath offended the king, or like a dead man carried to the grave, so do the priests secure the doors with bars and locks, lest they be stripped by thieves. + +** Baruch 6:18 + +They light candles to them, and in great number, of which they cannot see one: but they are like beams in the house. + +** Baruch 6:19 + +And they say that the creeping things which are of the earth, gnaw their hearts, while they eat them and their garments, and they feel it not. + +** Baruch 6:20 + +Their faces are black with the smoke that is made in the house. + +** Baruch 6:21 + +Owls, and swallows, and other birds fly upon their bodies, and upon their heads, and cats in like manner. + +** Baruch 6:22 + +Whereby you may know that they are no gods. Therefore fear them not. + +** Baruch 6:23 + +The gold also which they have, is for shew, but except a man wipe off the rust, they will not shine: for neither when they were molten, did they feel it. + +** Baruch 6:24 + +Men buy them at a high price, whereas there is no breath in them. + +** Baruch 6:25 + +And having not the use of feet they are carried upon shoulders, declaring to men how vile they are. Be they confounded also that worship them. + +** Baruch 6:26 + +Therefore if they fall to the ground, they rise not up again of themselves, nor if a man set them upright, will they stand by themselves, but their gifts shall be set before them, as to the dead. + +** Baruch 6:27 + +The things that are sacrificed to them, their priests sell and abuse: in like manner also their wives take part of them, but give nothing of it either to the sick, or to the poor. + +** Baruch 6:28 + +The childbearing and menstruous women touch their sacrifices: knowing, therefore, by these things that they are not gods, fear them not. + +** Baruch 6:29 + +For how can they be called gods? because women set offerings before the gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood: + +** Baruch 6:30 + +And priests sit in their temples, having their garments rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads. + +** Baruch 6:31 + +And they roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead. + +** Baruch 6:32 + +The priests take away their garments, and clothe their wives and their children. + +** Baruch 6:33 + +And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king, nor put him down: + +** Baruch 6:34 + +In like manner they can neither give riches, nor requite evil.

As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break, and destroy all these. + +** Daniel 2:41 + +And whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay. + +** Daniel 2:42 + +And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay: the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. + +** Daniel 2:43 + +And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall be mingled indeed together with the seed of man, but they shall not stick fast one to another, as iron cannot be mixed with clay. + +** Daniel 2:44 + +But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people: and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms: and itself shall stand for ever. + +** Daniel 2:45 + +According as thou sawest, that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces the clay and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful. + +** Daniel 2:46 + +Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense. + +** Daniel 2:47 + +And the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily, your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret. + +** Daniel 2:48 + +Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon: and chief of the magistrates over all the wise men of Babylon. + +** Daniel 2:49 + +And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace. + +* Daniel 3 + +** Daniel 3:1 + +King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura, of the province of Babylon. + +** Daniel 3:2 + +Then Nabuchodonosor, the king, sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. + +** Daniel 3:3 + +Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. + +** Daniel 3:4 + +Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes and languages: + +** Daniel 3:5 + +That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music, ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up. + +** Daniel 3:6 + +But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire. + +** Daniel 3:7 + +Upon this, therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. + +** Daniel 3:8 + +And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews, + +** Daniel 3:9 + +And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever: + +** Daniel 3:10 + +Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue: + +** Daniel 3:11 + +And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire. + +** Daniel 3:12 + +Now there are certain Jews, whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which thou hast set up. + +** Daniel 3:13 + +Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king. + +** Daniel 3:14 + +And Nabuchodonosor, the king, spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up? + +** Daniel 3:15 + +Now, therefore, if you be ready, at what hour soever, you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand? + +** Daniel 3:16 + +Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, answered, and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter. + +** Daniel 3:17 + +For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, O king. + +** Daniel 3:18 + +But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up. + +** Daniel 3:19 + +Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated. + +** Daniel 3:20 + +And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire. + +** Daniel 3:21 + +And immediately these men were bound, and were cast into the furnace of burning fire, with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments. + +** Daniel 3:22 + +For the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago. + +** Daniel 3:23 + +But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire. + +** Daniel 3:24 + +And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God, and blessing the Lord. + +** Daniel 3:25 + +Then Azarias standing up, prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said: + +** Daniel 3:26 + +Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and glorious for ever: + +** Daniel 3:27 + +For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true. + +** Daniel 3:28 + +For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins. + +** Daniel 3:29 + +For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed in all things: + +** Daniel 3:30 + +And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us. + +** Daniel 3:31 + +Wherefore, all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment: + +** Daniel 3:32 + +And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that are upon the earth. + +** Daniel 3:33 + +And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame, and a reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee. + +** Daniel 3:34 + +Deliver us not up for ever, we beseech thee, for thy name's sake, and abolish not thy covenant. + +** Daniel 3:35 + +And take not away thy mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham, thy beloved, and Isaac, thy servant, and Israel, thy holy one: + +** Daniel 3:36 + +To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea shore. + +** Daniel 3:37 + +For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins. + +** Daniel 3:38 + +Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of first fruits before thee, + +** Daniel 3:39 + +That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless, in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted. + +** Daniel 3:40 + +As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee. + +** Daniel 3:41 + +And now we follow thee with all our heart, and we fear thee, and seek thy face. + +** Daniel 3:42 + +Put us not to confusion, but deal with us according to thy meekness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies. + +** Daniel 3:43 + +And deliver us, according to thy wonderful works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: + +** Daniel 3:44 + +And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants, let them be confounded in all thy might, and let their strength be broken: + +** Daniel 3:45 + +And let them know that thou art the Lord, the only God, and glorious over all the world. + +** Daniel 3:46 + +Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat the furnace with brimstone and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks, + +** Daniel 3:47 + +And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forth cubits: + +** Daniel 3:48 + +And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace. + +** Daniel 3:49 + +But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace, + +** Daniel 3:50 + +And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind bringing dew, and the fire touched them not at all, nor troubled them, nor did them any harm. + +** Daniel 3:51 + +Then these three, as with one mouth, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying: + +** Daniel 3:52 + +Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers;

+ +** Daniel 4:28 + +And while the word was yet in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven: To thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, it is said: Thy kingdom shall pass from thee. + +** Daniel 4:29 + +And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. + +** Daniel 4:30 + +The same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor, and he was driven away from among men, and did eat grass, like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till his hairs grew like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like birds' claws. + +** Daniel 4:31 + +Now at the end of the days, I, Nabuchodonosor, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations. + +** Daniel 4:32 + +And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it? + +** Daniel 4:33 + +At the same time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour and glory of my kingdom: and my shape returned to me: and my nobles, and my magistrates, sought for me, and I was restored to my kingdom: and greater majesty was added to me. + +** Daniel 4:34 + +Therefore I, Nabuchodonosor, do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase. + +* Daniel 5 + +** Daniel 5:1 + +Baltasar, the king, made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age. + +** Daniel 5:2 + +And being now drunk, he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nabuchodonosor, his father, had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them. + +** Daniel 5:3 + +Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. + +** Daniel 5:4 + +They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone. + +** Daniel 5:5 + +In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick, upon the surface of the wall of the king's palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote. + +** Daniel 5:6 + +Then was the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other. + +** Daniel 5:7 + +And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers.

Now, therefore, let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation. + +** Daniel 5:13 + +Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father, the king, brought out of Judea? + +** Daniel 5:14 + +I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee. + +** Daniel 5:15 + +And now the wise men, the magicians, have come in before me, to read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof; and they could not declare to me the meaning of this writing. + +** Daniel 5:16 + +But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom. + +** Daniel 5:17 + +To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof. + +** Daniel 5:18 + +O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor, thy father, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour. + +** Daniel 5:19 + +And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down. + +** Daniel 5:20 + +But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away. + +** Daniel 5:21 + +And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him. + +** Daniel 5:22 + +Thou also, his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things: + +** Daniel 5:23 + +But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified. + +** Daniel 5:24 + +Wherefore, he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down. + +** Daniel 5:25 + +And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES. + +** Daniel 5:26 + +And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it. + +** Daniel 5:27 + +THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting. + +** Daniel 5:28 + +PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians. + +** Daniel 5:29 + +Then by the king's command, Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom. + +** Daniel 5:30 + +The same night Baltasar, the Chaldean king, was slain. + +** Daniel 5:31 + +And Darius, the Mede, succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old. + +* Daniel 6 + +** Daniel 6:1 + +It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors, to be over his whole kingdom. + +** Daniel 6:2 + +And three princes over them of whom Daniel was one: that the governors might give an account to them, and the king might have no trouble. + +** Daniel 6:3 + +And Daniel excelled all the princes, and governors: because a greater spirit of God was in him. + +** Daniel 6:4 + +And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom; whereupon the princes, and the governors, sought to find occasion against Daniel, with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him. + +** Daniel 6:5 + +Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning the law of his God. + +** Daniel 6:6 + +Then the princes, and the governors, craftily suggested to the king, and spoke thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever: + +** Daniel 6:7 + +All the princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges, have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of the lions. + +** Daniel 6:8 + +Now, therefore, O king, confirm the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor any man be allowed to transgress it. + +** Daniel 6:9 + +So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it. + +** Daniel 6:10 + +Now, when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before. + +** Daniel 6:11 + +Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God. + +** Daniel 6:12 + +And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true, according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate. + +** Daniel 6:13 + +Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer. + +** Daniel 6:14 + +Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him, and even till sunset he laboured to save him. + +** Daniel 6:15 + +But those men perceiving the king's design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may be altered. + +** Daniel 6:16 + +Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of the lions. And the king said to Daniel: Thy God, whom thou always servest, he will deliver thee. + +** Daniel 6:17 + +And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against Daniel. + +** Daniel 6:18 + +And the king went away to his house, and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed from him. + +** Daniel 6:19 + +Then the king rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions' den: + +** Daniel 6:20 + +And coming near to the den, cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel, and said to him: Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God, whom thou servest always, been able, thinkest thou, to deliver thee from the lions? + +** Daniel 6:21 + +And Daniel answering the king, said: O king, live for ever: + +** Daniel 6:22 + +My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea, and before thee, O king, I have done no offence. + +** Daniel 6:23 + +Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God. + +** Daniel 6:24 + +And by the king's commandment, those men were brought that had accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions' den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces. + +** Daniel 6:25 + +Then king Darius wrote to all people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto you. + +** Daniel 6:26 + +It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever. + +** Daniel 6:27 + +He is the deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den. + +** Daniel 6:28 + +Now Daniel continued unto the reign of Darius, and the reign of Cyrus, the Persian. + +* Daniel 7 + +** Daniel 7:1 + +In the first year of Baltasar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in a few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said: + +** Daniel 7:2 + +I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the heavens strove upon the great sea. + +** Daniel 7:3 + +And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of the sea. + +** Daniel 7:4 + +The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her. + +** Daniel 7:5 + +And behold another beast, like a bear, stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh. + +** Daniel 7:6 + +After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings, as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it. + +** Daniel 7:7 + +After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with his feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns. + +** Daniel 7:8 + +I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things. + +** Daniel 7:9 + +I beheld till thrones were placed, and the ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire. + +** Daniel 7:10 + +A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened. + +** Daniel 7:11 + +I beheld, because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt: + +** Daniel 7:12 + +And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and a time. + +** Daniel 7:13 + +I beheld, therefore, in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the ancient of days: and they presented him before him. + +** Daniel 7:14 + +And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed. + +** Daniel 7:15 + +My spirit trembled; I, Daniel, was affrighted at these things, and the visions of my head troubled me. + +** Daniel 7:16 + +I went near to one of them that stood by, and asked the truth of him concerning all these things, and he told me the interpretation of the words, and instructed me: + +** Daniel 7:17 + +These four great beasts, are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth. + +** Daniel 7:18 + +But the saints of the most high God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the kingdom for ever and ever. + +** Daniel 7:19 + +After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet: + +** Daniel 7:20 + +And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest. + +** Daniel 7:21 + +I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them, + +** Daniel 7:22 + +Till the ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the most High, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom. + +** Daniel 7:23 + +And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. + +** Daniel 7:24 + +And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings. + +** Daniel 7:25 + +And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time. + +** Daniel 7:26 + +And a judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end. + +** Daniel 7:27 + +And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him. + +** Daniel 7:28 + +Hitherto is the end of the word. I, Daniel, was much troubled with my thoughts, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the word in my heart. + +* Daniel 8 + +** Daniel 8:1 + +In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar, a vision appeared to me. I, Daniel, after what I had seen in the beginning, + +** Daniel 8:2 + +Saw in my vision when I was in the castle of Susa, which is in the province of Elam: and I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai. + +** Daniel 8:3 + +And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold a ram stood before the water, having two high horns, and one higher than the other, and growing up. Afterward + +** Daniel 8:4 + +I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great. + +** Daniel 8:5 + +And I understood: and behold a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and he touched not the ground, and the he goat had a notable horn between his eyes. + +** Daniel 8:6 + +And he went up to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength. + +** Daniel 8:7 + +And when he was come near the ram, he was enraged against him, and struck the ram: and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him: and when he had cast him down on the ground, he stamped upon him, and none could deliver the ram out of his hand. + +** Daniel 8:8 + +And the he goat became exceeding great: and when he was grown, the great horn was broken, and there came up four horns under it towards the four winds of heaven. + +** Daniel 8:9 + +And out of one of them came forth a little horn: and it became great against the south, and against the east, and against the strength. + +** Daniel 8:10 + +And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them. + +** Daniel 8:11 + +And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary. + +** Daniel 8:12 + +And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he shall do and shall prosper. + +** Daniel 8:13 + +And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another I know not to whom, that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot? + +** Daniel 8:14 + +And he said to him: Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred days: and the sanctuary shall be cleansed. + +** Daniel 8:15 + +And it came to pass when I, Daniel, saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man. + +** Daniel 8:16 + +And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. + +** Daniel 8:17 + +And he came, and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled. + +** Daniel 8:18 + +And when he spoke to me, I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright. + +** Daniel 8:19 + +And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end. + +** Daniel 8:20 + +The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians. + +** Daniel 8:21 + +And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn that was between his eyes, the same is the first king. + +** Daniel 8:22 + +But whereas when that was broken, there arose up four for it, four kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength. + +** Daniel 8:23 + +And after their reign, when iniquities shall be grown up, there shall arise a king of a shameless face, and understanding dark sentences. + +** Daniel 8:24 + +And his power shall be strengthened, but not by his own force: and he shall lay all things waste, and shall prosper, and do more than can be believed. And he shall destroy the mighty, and the people of the saints, + +** Daniel 8:25 + +According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand: and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he shall kill many: and he shall rise up against the prince of princes, and shall be broken without hand. + +** Daniel 8:26 + +And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true: thou, therefore, seal up the vision, because it shall come to pass after many days. + +** Daniel 8:27 + +And I, Daniel, languished, and was sick for some days: and when I was risen up, I did the king's business, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none that could interpret it. + +* Daniel 9 + +** Daniel 9:1 + +In the first year of Darius, the son of Assuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans: + +** Daniel 9:2 + +The first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem. + +** Daniel 9:3 + +And I set my face to the Lord, my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes. + +** Daniel 9:4 + +And I prayed to the Lord, my God, and I made my confession, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord God, great and terrible, who keepest the covenant, and mercy to them that love thee, and keep thy commandments. + +** Daniel 9:5 + +We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy judgments. + +** Daniel 9:6 + +We have not hearkened to thy servants, the prophets, that have spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to all the people of the land. + +** Daniel 9:7 + +To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities, by which they have sinned against thee. + +** Daniel 9:8 + +O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, that have sinned. + +** Daniel 9:9 + +But to thee, the Lord our God, mercy and forgiveness, for we have departed from thee: + +** Daniel 9:10 + +And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, our God, to walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants, the prophets. + +** Daniel 9:11 + +And all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have turned away from hearing thy voice, and the malediction, and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses, the servant of God, is fallen upon us, because we have sinned against him. + +** Daniel 9:12 + +And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem. + +** Daniel 9:13 + +As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: and we entreated not thy face, O Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and think on thy truth. + +** Daniel 9:14 + +And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord, our God, is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice. + +** Daniel 9:15 + +And now, O Lord, our God, who hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt, with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name as at this day: we have sinned, we have committed iniquity, + +** Daniel 9:16 + +O Lord, against all thy justice: let thy wrath and thy indignation be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city, Jerusalem, and from thy holy mountain. For by reason of our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem, and thy people, are a reproach to all that are round about us. + +** Daniel 9:17 + +Now, therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant, and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary, which is desolate, for thy own sake. + +** Daniel 9:18 + +Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear: open thy eyes, and see our desolation, and the city upon which thy name is called: for it is not for our justifications that we present our prayers before thy face, but for the multitude of thy tender mercies. + +** Daniel 9:19 + +O Lord, hear: O Lord, be appeased: hearken, and do: delay not, for thy own sake, O my God: because thy name is invocated upon thy city, and upon thy people. + +** Daniel 9:20 + +Now while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people of Israel, and presenting my supplications in the sight of my God, for the holy mountain of my God: + +** Daniel 9:21 + +As I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man, Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice. + +** Daniel 9:22 + +And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand. + +** Daniel 9:23 + +From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore, do thou mark the word, and understand the vision. + +** Daniel 9:24 + +Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the Saint of saints may be anointed. + +** Daniel 9:25 + +Know thou, therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ, the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls, in straitness of times. + +** Daniel 9:26 + +And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his.

And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling. + +** Daniel 10:12 + +And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words. + +** Daniel 10:13 + +But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians. + +** Daniel 10:14 + +But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days. + +** Daniel 10:15 + +And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace. + +** Daniel 10:16 + +And behold as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me. + +** Daniel 10:17 + +And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me; moreover, my breath is stopped. + +** Daniel 10:18 + +Therefore, he that looked like a man, touched me again, and strengthened me. + +** Daniel 10:19 + +And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take courage, and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong, and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me. + +** Daniel 10:20 + +And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? And now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming. + +** Daniel 10:21 + +But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince. + +* Daniel 11 + +** Daniel 11:1 + +And from the first year of Darius, the Mede, I stood up, that he might be strengthened, and confirmed. + +** Daniel 11:2 + +And now I will shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be enriched exceedingly above them all: and when he shall be grown mighty by his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. + +** Daniel 11:3 + +But there shall rise up a strong king, and shall rule with great power: and he shall do what he pleaseth. + +** Daniel 11:4 + +And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall be divided towards the four winds of the heaven: but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, besides these. + +** Daniel 11:5 + +And the king of the south shall be strengthened, and one of his princes shall prevail over him, and he shall rule with great power: for his dominions shall be great. + +** Daniel 11:6 + +And after the end of years they shall be in league together: and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make friendship, but she shall not obtain the strength of the arm, neither shall her seed stand: and she shall be given up, and her young men that brought her, and they that strengthened her in these times. + +** Daniel 11:7 + +And a plant of the bud of her roots shall stand up: and he shall come with an army, and shall enter into the province of the king of the north: and he shall abuse them, and shall prevail. + +** Daniel 11:8 + +And he shall also carry away captive into Egypt their gods, and their graven things, and their precious vessels of gold and silver: he shall prevail against the king of the north. + +** Daniel 11:9 + +And the king of the south shall enter into the kingdom, and shall return to his own land. + +** Daniel 11:10 + +And his sons shall be provoked, and they shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and he shall come with haste like a flood: and he shall return, and be stirred up, and he shall join battle with his force. + +** Daniel 11:11 + +And the king of the south being provoked, shall go forth, and shall fight against the king of the north, and shall prepare an exceeding great multitude, and a multitude shall be given into his hands. + +** Daniel 11:12 + +And he shall take a multitude, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down many thousands: but he shall not prevail. + +** Daniel 11:13 + +For the king of the north shall return, and shall prepare a multitude much greater than before: and in the end of times, and years, he shall come in haste with a great army, and much riches. + +** Daniel 11:14 + +And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south, and the children of prevaricators of thy people shall lift up themselves to fulfil the vision, and they shall fall. + +** Daniel 11:15 + +And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take the best fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they shall not have strength. + +** Daniel 11:16 + +And he shall come upon him, and do according to his pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand. + +** Daniel 11:17 + +And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him. + +** Daniel 11:18 + +And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his reproach shall be turned upon him. + +** Daniel 11:19 + +And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found. + +** Daniel 11:20 + +And there shall stand up in his place one most vile, and unworthy of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed, not in rage nor in battle. + +** Daniel 11:21 + +And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud. + +** Daniel 11:22 + +And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken: yea, also the prince of the covenant. + +** Daniel 11:23 + +And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people. + +** Daniel 11:24 + +And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time. + +** Daniel 11:25 + +And his strength, and his heart, shall be stirred up against the king of the south, with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him. + +** Daniel 11:26 + +And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain. + +** Daniel 11:27 + +And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil, and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end is unto another time. + +** Daniel 11:28 + +And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed, and shall return into his own land. + +** Daniel 11:29 + +At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former. + +** Daniel 11:30 + +And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return, and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary. + +** Daniel 11:31 + +And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice: and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation. + +** Daniel 11:32 + +And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed. + +** Daniel 11:33 + +And they that are learned among the people shall teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by spoil for many days. + +** Daniel 11:34 + +And when they shall have fallen, they shall be relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully. + +** Daniel 11:35 + +And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be tried, and may be chosen, and made white, even to the appointed time: because yet there shall be another time. + +** Daniel 11:36 + +And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall be lifted up, and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall speak great things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath be accomplished. For the determination is made. + +** Daniel 11:37 + +And he shall make no account of the God of his fathers: and he shall follow the lust of women, and he shall not regard any gods: for he shall rise up against all things. + +** Daniel 11:38 + +But he shall worship the god Maozim, in his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and things of great price. + +** Daniel 11:39 + +And he shall do this to fortify Maozim with a strange god, whom he hath acknowledged, and he shall increase glory, and shall give them power over many, and shall divide the land gratis. + +** Daniel 11:40 + +And at the time prefixed the king of the south shall fight against him, and the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great navy, and he shall enter into the countries, and shall destroy, and pass through. + +** Daniel 11:41 + +And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many shall fall: and these only shall be saved out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the principality of the children of Ammon. + +** Daniel 11:42 + +And he shall lay his hand upon the lands: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. + +** Daniel 11:43 + +And he shall have power over the treasures of gold, and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt: and he shall pass through Libya, and Ethiopia. + +** Daniel 11:44 + +And tidings out of the east, and out of the north, shall trouble him: and he shall come with a great multitude to destroy and slay many. + +** Daniel 11:45 + +And he shall fix his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain: and he shall come even to the top thereof, and none shall help him. + +* Daniel 12 + +** Daniel 12:1 + +But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come, such as never was from the time that nations began, even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book. + +** Daniel 12:2 + +And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always. + +** Daniel 12:3 + +But they that are learned, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity. + +** Daniel 12:4 + +But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be manifold. + +** Daniel 12:5 + +And I, Daniel, looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on the other bank of the river. + +** Daniel 12:6 + +And I said to the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? + +** Daniel 12:7 + +And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river, when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished. + +** Daniel 12:8 + +And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after these things? + +** Daniel 12:9 + +And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time. + +** Daniel 12:10 + +Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand. + +** Daniel 12:11 + +And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days. + +** Daniel 12:12 + +Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days. + +** Daniel 12:13 + +But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days. + +* Daniel 13 + +** Daniel 13:1 + +Now there was a man that dwelt in Babylon, and his name was Joakim: + +** Daniel 13:2 + +And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Helcias, a very beautiful woman, and one that feared God. + +** Daniel 13:3 + +For her parents being just, had instructed their daughter according to the law of Moses. + +** Daniel 13:4 + +Now Joakim was very rich, and had an orchard near his house: and the Jews resorted to him, because he was the most honourable of them all. + +** Daniel 13:5 + +And there were two of the ancients of the people appointed judges that year, of whom the Lord said: That iniquity came out from Babylon, from the ancient judges, that seemed to govern the people. + +** Daniel 13:6 + +These men frequented the house of Joakim, and all that hand any matters of judgment came to them. + +** Daniel 13:7 + +And when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went in, and walked in her husband's orchard. + +** Daniel 13:8 + +And the old men saw her going in every day, and walking: and they were inflamed with lust towards her: + +** Daniel 13:9 + +And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments. + +** Daniel 13:10 + +So they were both wounded with the love of her, yet they did not make known their grief one to the other. + +** Daniel 13:11 + +For they were ashamed to declare to one another their lust, being desirous to have to do with her: + +** Daniel 13:12 + +And they watched carefully every day to see her. And one said to the other: + +** Daniel 13:13 + +Let us now go home, for it is dinner time. So going out, they departed one from another. + +** Daniel 13:14 + +And turning back again, they came both to the same place: and asking one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: and then they agreed together upon a time, when they might find her alone. + +** Daniel 13:15 + +And it fell out, as they watched a fit day, she went in on a time, as yesterday and the day before, with two maids only, and was desirous to wash herself in the orchard: for it was hot weather. + +** Daniel 13:16 + +And there was nobody there, but the two old men that had hid themselves, and were beholding her. + +** Daniel 13:17 + +So she said to the maids: Bring me oil, and washing balls, and shut the doors of the orchard, that I may wash me. + +** Daniel 13:18 + +And they did as she bade them: and they shut the doors of the orchard, and went out by a back door to fetch what she had commanded them, and they knew not that the elders were hid within. + +** Daniel 13:19 + +Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders arose, and ran to her, and said: + +** Daniel 13:20 + +Behold the doors of the orchard are shut, and nobody seeth us, and we are in love with thee: wherefore consent to us, and lie with us. + +** Daniel 13:21 + +But if thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee, and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee. + +** Daniel 13:22 + +Susanna sighed, and said: I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands. + +** Daniel 13:23 + +But it is better for me to fall into your hands without doing it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord. + +** Daniel 13:24 + +With that Susanna cried out with a loud voice: and the elders also cried out against her. + +** Daniel 13:25 + +And one of them ran to the door of the orchard, and opened it. + +** Daniel 13:26 + +So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the orchard, they rushed in by the back door, to see what was the matter. + +** Daniel 13:27 + +But after the old men had spoken, the servants were greatly ashamed: for never had there been any such word said of Susanna. And on the next day, + +** Daniel 13:28 + +When the people were come to Joakim, her husband, the two elders also came full of wicked device against Susanna, to put her to death. + +** Daniel 13:29 + +And they said before the people: Send to Susanna, daughter of Helcias, the wife of Joakim. And presently they sent. + +** Daniel 13:30 + +And she came with her parents, and children and all her kindred. + +** Daniel 13:31 + +Now Susanna was exceeding delicate, and beautiful to behold. + +** Daniel 13:32 + +But those wicked men commanded that her face should be uncovered, (for she was covered) that so at least they might be satisfied with her beauty. + +** Daniel 13:33 + +Therefore her friends, and all her acquaintance wept. + +** Daniel 13:34 + +But the two elders rising up in the midst of the people, laid their hands upon her head. + +** Daniel 13:35 + +And she weeping, looked up to heaven, for her heart had confidence in the Lord. + +** Daniel 13:36 + +And the elders said: As we walked in the orchard alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the doors of the orchard, and sent away the maids from her. + +** Daniel 13:37 + +Then a young man that was there hid came to her, and lay with her. + +** Daniel 13:38 + +But we that were in a corner of the orchard, seeing this wickedness, ran up to them, and we saw them lie together. + +** Daniel 13:39 + +And him indeed we could not take, because he was stronger than us, and opening the doors, he leaped out: + +** Daniel 13:40 + +But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: of this thing we are witnesses. + +** Daniel 13:41 + +The multitude believed them, as being the elders, and the judges of the people, and they condemned her to death. + +** Daniel 13:42 + +Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said: O eternal God, who knowest hidden things, who knowest all things before they come to pass, + +** Daniel 13:43 + +Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me: and behold I must die, whereas I have done none of these things, which these men have maliciously forged against me. + +** Daniel 13:44 + +And the Lord heard her voice. + +** Daniel 13:45 + +And when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young boy, whose name was Daniel: + +** Daniel 13:46 + +And he cried out with a loud voice: I am clear from the blood of this woman. + +** Daniel 13:47 + +Then all the people turning themselves towards him, said: What meaneth this word that thou hast spoken? + +** Daniel 13:48 + +But he standing in the midst of them, said: Are ye so foolish, ye children of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth, you have condemned a daughter of Israel? + +** Daniel 13:49 + +Return to judgment, for they have borne false witness against her. + +** Daniel 13:50 + +So all the people turned again in haste, and the old men said to him: Come, and sit thou down among us, and shew it us: seeing God hath given thee the honour of old age. + +** Daniel 13:51 + +And Daniel said to the people: Separate these two far from one another, and I will examine them. + +** Daniel 13:52 + +So when they were put asunder one from the other, he called one of them, and said to him: O thou that art grown old in evil days, now are thy sins come out, which thou hast committed before: + +** Daniel 13:53 + +In judging unjust judgments, oppressing the innocent, and letting the guilty to go free, whereas the Lord saith: The innocent and the just thou shalt not kill. + +** Daniel 13:54 + +Now then if thou sawest her, tell me under what tree thou sawest them conversing together: He said: Under a mastic tree. + +** Daniel 13:55 + +And Daniel said: Well hast thou lied against thy own head: for behold the angel of God having received the sentence of him, shall cut thee in two. + +** Daniel 13:56 + +And having put him aside, he commanded that the other should come, and he said to him: O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thy heart: + +** Daniel 13:57 + +Thus did you do to the daughters of Israel, and they for fear conversed with you: but a daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness. + +** Daniel 13:58 + +Now, therefore, tell me, under what tree didst thou take them conversing together. And he answered: Under a holm tree. + +** Daniel 13:59 + +And Daniel said to him: Well hast thou also lied against thy own head: for the angel of the Lord waiteth with a sword to cut thee in two, and to destroy you. + +** Daniel 13:60 + +With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and they blessed God, who saveth them that trust in him. + +** Daniel 13:61 + +And they rose up against the two elders, (for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth) and they did to them as they had maliciously dealt against their neighbour, + +** Daniel 13:62 + +To fulfil the law of Moses: and they put them to death, and innocent blood was saved in that day. + +** Daniel 13:63 + +But Helcias, and his wife, praised God, for their daughter, Susanna, with Joakim, her husband, and all her kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her. + +** Daniel 13:64 + +And Daniel became great in the sight of the people from that day, and thence forward. + +** Daniel 13:65 + +And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers; and Cyrus, the Persian, received his kingdom. + +* Daniel 14 + +** Daniel 14:1 + +And Daniel was the king's guest, and was honoured above all his friends. + +** Daniel 14:2 + +Now the Babylonians had an idol called Bel: and there was spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine. + +** Daniel 14:3 + +The king also worshipped him, and went every day to adore him: but Daniel adored his God. And the king said to him: Why dost thou not adore Bel? + +** Daniel 14:4 + +And he answered, and said to him: Because I do not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, that created heaven and earth, and hath power over all flesh. + +** Daniel 14:5 + +And the king said to him: Doth not Bel seem to thee to be a living god? Seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day? + +** Daniel 14:6 + +Then Daniel smiled, and said: O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, neither hath he eaten at any time. + +** Daniel 14:7 + +And the king being angry, called for his priests, and said to them: If you tell me not who it is that eateth up these expenses, you shall die. + +** Daniel 14:8 + +But if you can shew that Bel eateth these things, Daniel shall die, because he hath blasphemed against Bel. And Daniel said to the king: Be it done according to thy word. + +** Daniel 14:9 + +Now the priests of Bel were seventy, beside their wives, and little ones, and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel. + +** Daniel 14:10 + +And the priests of Bel said: Behold, we go out: and do thou, O king, set on the meats, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast, and seal it with thy own ring: + +** Daniel 14:11 + +And when thou comest in the morning, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death, or else Daniel, that hath lied against us. + +** Daniel 14:12 + +And they little regarded it, because they had made under the table a secret entrance, and they always came in by it, and consumed those things. + +** Daniel 14:13 + +So it came to pass after they were gone out, the king set the meats before Bel: and Daniel commanded his servants, and they brought ashes, and he sifted them all over the temple before the king: and going forth, they shut the door, and having sealed it with the king's ring, they departed. + +** Daniel 14:14 + +But the priests went in by night, according to their custom, with their wives, and their children: and they eat and drank up all. + +** Daniel 14:15 + +And the king arose early in the morning, and Daniel with him. + +** Daniel 14:16 + +And the king said: Are the seals whole, Daniel? And he answered: They are whole, O king. + +** Daniel 14:17 + +And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked upon the table, and cried out with a loud voice: Great art thou, O Bel, and there is not any deceit with thee. + +** Daniel 14:18 + +And Daniel laughed: and he held the king, that he should not go in: and he said: Behold the pavement, mark whose footsteps these are. + +** Daniel 14:19 + +And the king said: I see the footsteps of men, and women, and children. And the king was angry. + +** Daniel 14:20 + +Then he took the priests, and their wives, and their children: and they shewed him the private doors by which they came in, and consumed the things that were on the table. + +** Daniel 14:21 + +The king, therefore, put them to death, and delivered Bel into the power of Daniel: who destroyed him and his temple. + +** Daniel 14:22 + +And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped him. + +** Daniel 14:23 + +And the king said to Daniel: Behold, thou canst not say now, that this is not a living god: adore him, therefore. + +** Daniel 14:24 + +And Daniel said: I adore the Lord, my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god. + +** Daniel 14:25 + +But give me leave, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or club. And the king said, I give thee leave. + +** Daniel 14:26 + +Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled them together: and he made lumps, and put them into the dragon's mouth, and the dragon burst asunder. And he said: Behold him whom you worship. + +** Daniel 14:27 + +And when the Babylonians had heard this, they took great indignation: and being gathered together against the king, they said: The king is become a Jew. He hath destroyed Bel, he hath killed the dragon, and he hath put the priests to death. + +** Daniel 14:28 + +And they came to the king, and said: Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thy house. + +** Daniel 14:29 + +And the king saw that they pressed upon him violently: and being constrained by necessity: he delivered Daniel to them. + +** Daniel 14:30 + +And they cast him into the den of lions, and he was there six days. + +** Daniel 14:31 + +And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given to them two carcasses every day, and two sheep: but then they were not given unto them, that they might devour Daniel. + +** Daniel 14:32 + +Now there was in Judea a prophet called Habacuc, and he had boiled pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl: and was going into the field, to carry it to the reapers. + +** Daniel 14:33 + +And the angel of the Lord said to Habacuc: Carry the dinner which thou hast into Babylon, to Daniel, who is in the lions' den. + +** Daniel 14:34 + +And Habacuc said: Lord, I never saw Babylon, nor do I know the den. + +** Daniel 14:35 + +And the angel of the Lord took him by the top of his head, and carried him by the hair of his head, and set him in Babylon, over the den, in the force of his spirit. + +** Daniel 14:36 + +And Habacuc cried, saying: O Daniel, thou servant of God, take the dinner that God hath sent thee. + +** Daniel 14:37 + +And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God, and thou hast not forsaken them that love thee. + +** Daniel 14:38 + +And Daniel arose, and ate. And the angel of the Lord presently set Habacuc again in his own place. + +** Daniel 14:39 + +And upon the seventh day the king came to bewail Daniel: and he came to the den, and looked in, and behold Daniel was sitting in the midst of the lions. + +** Daniel 14:40 + +And the king cried out with a loud voice, saying: Great art thou, O Lord, the God of Daniel.

the great works of the Lord, that he hath done, + +** Deuteronomy 11:8 + +That you may keep all his commandments, which I command you this day, and may go in, and possess the land, to which you are entering, + +** Deuteronomy 11:9 + +And may live in it a long time: which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed, a land which floweth with milk and honey. + +** Deuteronomy 11:10 + +For the land, which thou goest to possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from whence thou camest out, where, when the seed is sown, waters are brought in to water it after the manner of

This is vanity and a great misery. + +** Ecclesiastes 6:3 + +If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he. + +** Ecclesiastes 6:4 + +For he came in vain, and goeth to darkness, and his name shall be wholly forgotten. + +** Ecclesiastes 6:5 + +He hath not seen the sun, nor known the distance of good and evil: + +** Ecclesiastes 6:6 + +Although he lived two thousand years, and hath not enjoyed good things: do not all make haste to one place? + +** Ecclesiastes 6:7 + +All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled. + +** Ecclesiastes 6:8 + +What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life? + +** Ecclesiastes 6:9 + +Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit. + +** Ecclesiastes 6:10 + +He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is a man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself. + +** Ecclesiastes 6:11 + +There are many words that have much vanity in disputing. + +* Ecclesiastes 7 + +** Ecclesiastes 7:1 + +What needeth a man to seek things that are above him, whereas he knoweth not what is profitable for him in his life, in all the days of his pilgrimage, and the time that passeth like a shadow? Or who can tell him what shall be after him under the sun? + +** Ecclesiastes 7:2 + +A good name is better than precious ointments: and the day of death than the day of one's birth. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:3 + +It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:4 + +Anger is better than laughter: because by the sadness of the countenance the mind of the offender is corrected. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:5 + +The heart of the wise is where there is mourning, and the heart of fools where there is mirth. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:6 + +It is better to be rebuked by a wise man, than to be deceived by the flattery of fools. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:7 + +For as the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so is the laughter of a fool: now this also is vanity. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:8 + +Oppression troubleth the wise, and shall destroy the strength of his heart. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:9 + +Better is the end of a speech than the beginning. Better is the patient man than the presumptuous. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:10 + +Be not quickly angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of a fool. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:11 + +Say not: What thinkest thou is the cause that former times were better than they are now? for this manner of question is foolish. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:12 + +Wisdom with riches is more profitable, and bringeth more advantage to them that see the sun. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:13 + +For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:14 + +Consider the works of God, that no man can correct whom he hath despised. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:15 + +In the good day enjoy good things, and beware beforehand of the evil day: for God hath made both the one and the other, that man may not find against him any just complaint. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:16 + +These things also I saw in the days of my vanity: A just man perisheth in his justice, and a wicked man liveth a long time in his wickedness. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:17 + +Be not over just: and be not more wise than is necessary, lest thou become stupid. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:18 + +Be not overmuch wicked: and be not foolish, lest thou die before thy time. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:19 + +It is good that thou shouldst hold up the just, yea and from him withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God, neglecteth nothing. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:20 + +Wisdom hath strengthened the wise more than ten princes of the city. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:21 + +For there is no just man upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:22 + +But do not apply thy heart to all words that are spoken: lest perhaps thou hear thy servant reviling thee. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:23 + +For thy conscience knoweth that thou also hast often spoken evil of others. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:24 + +I have tried all things in wisdom. I have said: I will be wise: and it departed farther from me, + +** Ecclesiastes 7:25 + +Much more than it was: it is a great depth, who shall find it out? + +** Ecclesiastes 7:26 + +I have surveyed all things with my mind, to know, and consider, and seek out wisdom and reason: and to know the wickedness of the fool, and the error of the imprudent: + +** Ecclesiastes 7:27 + +And I have found a woman more bitter than death, who is the hunter's snare, and her heart is a net, and her hands are bands. He that pleaseth God shall escape from her: but he that is a sinner, shall be caught by her. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:28 + +Lo this have I found, said Ecclesiastes, weighing one thing after another, that I might find out the account, + +** Ecclesiastes 7:29 + +Which yet my soul seeketh, and I have not found it. One man among a thousand I have found, a woman among them all I have not found. + +** Ecclesiastes 7:30 + +Only this I have found, that God made man right, and he hath entangled himself with an infinity of questions. Who is as the wise man? and who hath known the resolution of the word? + +* Ecclesiastes 8 + +** Ecclesiastes 8:1 + +The wisdom of a man shineth in his countenance, and the most mighty will change his face. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:2 + +I observe the mouth of the king, and the commandments of the oath of God. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:3 + +Be not hasty to depart from his face, and do not continue in an evil work: for he will do all that pleaseth him: + +** Ecclesiastes 8:4 + +And his word is full of power: neither can any man say to him: Why dost thou so? + +** Ecclesiastes 8:5 + +He that keepeth the commandment, shall find no evil. The heart of a wiser man understandeth time and answer. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:6 + +There is a time and opportunity for every business, and great affliction for man: + +** Ecclesiastes 8:7 + +Because he is ignorant of things past, and things to come he cannot know by any messenger. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:8 + +It is not in man's power to stop the spirit, neither hath he power in the day of death, neither is he suffered to rest when war is at hand, neither shall wickedness save the wicked. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:9 + +All these things I have considered, and applied my heart to all the works that are done under the sun. Sometimes one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:10 + +I saw the wicked buried: who also when they were yet living were in the holy place, and were praised in the city as men of just works: but this also is vanity. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:11 + +For because sentence is not speedily pronounced against the evil, the children of men commit evils without any fear. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:12 + +But though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and by patience be borne withal, I know from thence that it shall be well with them that fear God, who dread his face. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:13 + +But let it not be well with the wicked, neither let his days be prolonged, but as a shadow let them pass away that fear not the face of the Lord. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:14 + +There is also another vanity, which is done upon the earth. There are just men to whom evils happen, as though they had done the works of the wicked: and there are wicked men, who are as secure as though they had the deeds of the just: but this also I judge most vain. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:15 + +Therefore I commended mirth, because there was no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry, and that he should take nothing else with him of his labour in the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:16 + +And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to understand the distraction that is upon earth: for there are some that day and night take no sleep with their eyes. + +** Ecclesiastes 8:17 + +And I understood that man can find no reason of all those works of God that are done under the sun: and the more he shall labour to seek, so much the less shall he find: yea, though the wise man shall say, that he knoweth it, he shall not be able to find it. + +* Ecclesiastes 9 + +** Ecclesiastes 9:1 + +All these things have I considered in my heart, that I might carefully understand them: there are just men and wise men, and their works are in the hand of God: and yet man knoweth not whether he be worthy of love, or hatred: + +** Ecclesiastes 9:2 + +But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner: as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:3 + +This is a very great evil among all things that are done under the sun, that the same things happen to all men: whereby also the hearts of the children of men are filled with evil, and with contempt while they live, and afterwards they shall be brought down to hell. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:4 + +There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:5 + +For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:6 + +Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy are all perished, neither have they any part in this world, and in the work that is done under the sun. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:7 + +Go then, and eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with gladness: because thy works please God. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:8 + +At all times let thy garments be white, and let not oil depart from thy head. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:9 + +Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest, all the days of thy unsteady life, which are given to thee under the sun, all the time of thy vanity: for this is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherewith thou labourest under the sun. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:10 + +Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge shall be in hell, whither thou art hastening. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:11 + +I turned me to another thing, and I saw that under the sun, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the learned, nor favour to the skilful: but time and chance in all. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:12 + +Man knoweth not his own end: but as fishes are taken with the hook, and as birds are caught with the snare, so men are taken in the evil time, when it shall suddenly come upon them. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:13 + +This wisdom also I have seen under the sun, and it seemed to me to be very great: + +** Ecclesiastes 9:14 + +A little city, and few men in it: there came against it a great king, and invested it, and built bulwarks round about it, and the siege was perfect. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:15 + +Now there was found in it a man poor and wise, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, and no man afterward remembered that poor man. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:16 + +And I said that wisdom is better than strength: how then is the wisdom of the poor man slighted, and his words not heard? + +** Ecclesiastes 9:17 + +The words of the wise are heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools. + +** Ecclesiastes 9:18 + +Better is wisdom, than weapons of war: and he that shall offend in one, shall lose many good things. + +* Ecclesiastes 10 + +** Ecclesiastes 10:1 + +Dying flies spoil the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a small and shortlived folly. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:2 + +The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a fool is in his left hand. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:3 + +Yea, and the fool when he walketh in the way, whereas he himself is a fool, esteemeth all men fools. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:4 + +If the spirit of him that hath power, ascend upon thee, leave not thy place: because care will make the greatest sins to cease. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:5 + +There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were by an error proceeding from the face of the prince: + +** Ecclesiastes 10:6 + +A fool set in high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:7 + +I have seen servants upon horses: and princes walking on the ground as servants. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:8 + +He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:9 + +He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:10 + +If the iron be blunt, and be not as before, but be made blunt, with much labour it shall be sharpened: and after industry shall follow wisdom. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:11 + +If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:12 + +The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:13 + +The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:14 + +A fool multiplieth words. A man cannot tell what hath been before him: and what shall be after him, who can tell him? + +** Ecclesiastes 10:15 + +The labour of fools shall afflict them that know not how to go to the city. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:16 + +Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and when the princes eat in the morning. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:17 + +Blessed is the land, whose king is noble, and whose princes eat in due season for refreshment, and not for riotousness. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:18 + +By slothfulness a building shall be brought down, and through the weakness of hands, the house shall drop through. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:19 + +For laughter they make bread, and wine that the living may feast: and all things obey money. + +** Ecclesiastes 10:20 + +Detract not the king, no not in thy thought; and speak not evil of the rich man in thy private chamber: because even the birds of the air will carry thy voice, and he that hath wings will tell what thou hast said. + +* Ecclesiastes 11 + +** Ecclesiastes 11:1 + +Cast thy bread upon the running waters: for after a long time thou shalt find it again. + +** Ecclesiastes 11:2 + +Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. + +** Ecclesiastes 11:3 + +If the clouds be full, they will pour out rain upon the earth.

And immediately the edict was hung up in Susan, the king and Aman feasting together, and all the Jews that were in the city weeping. + +* Esther 4 + +** Esther 4:1 + +Now when Mardochai had heard these things, he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head and he cried with a loud voice in the street in the midst of the city, shewing the anguish of his mind. + +** Esther 4:2 + +And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king's court. + +** Esther 4:3 + +And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king's cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed. + +** Esther 4:4 + +Then Esther's maids and her eunuchs went in, and told her. And when she heard it she was in a consternation and she sent a garment, to clothe him, and to take away the sackcloth: but he would not receive it. + +** Esther 4:5 + +And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this. + +** Esther 4:6 + +And Athach going out went to Mardochai, who was standing in the street of the city, before the palace gate: + +** Esther 4:7 + +And Mardochai told him all that had happened, how Aman had promised to pay money into the king's treasures, to have the Jews destroyed. + +** Esther 4:8 + +He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people. + +** Esther 4:9 + +And Athach went back and told Esther all that Mardochai had said. + +** Esther 4:10 + +She answered him, and bade him say to Mardochai: + +** Esther 4:11 + +All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him? + +** Esther 4:12 + +And when Mardochai had heard this, + +** Esther 4:13 + +He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king's house, more than all the Jews: + +** Esther 4:14 + +For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father's house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this? + +** Esther 4:15 + +And again Esther sent to Mardochai in these words: + +** Esther 4:16 + +Go, and gather together all the Jews whom thou shalt find in Susan, and pray ye for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights: and I with my handmaids will fast in like manner, and then I will go in to the king, against the law, not being called, and expose myself to death and to danger. + +** Esther 4:17 + +So Mardochai went, and did all that Esther had commanded him. + +* Esther 5 + +** Esther 5:1 + +And on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's hall: now he sat upon his throne in the hall of the palace, over against the door of the house. + +** Esther 5:2 + +And when he saw Esther the queen standing, she pleased his eyes, and he held out toward her the golden sceptre, which he held in his hand and she drew near, and kissed the top of his sceptre. + +** Esther 5:3 + +And the king said to her: What wilt thou, queen Esther? what is thy request? if thou shouldst even ask one half of the kingdom, it shall be given to thee. + +** Esther 5:4 + +But she answered: If it please the king, I beseech thee to come to me this day, and Aman with thee to the banquet which I have prepared. + +** Esther 5:5 + +And the king said forthwith: Call ye Aman quickly, that he may obey Esther's will. So the king and Aman came to the banquet which the queen had prepared for them. + +** Esther 5:6 + +And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine plentifully: What dost thou desire should be given thee? and for what thing askest thou? although thou shouldst ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. + +** Esther 5:7 + +And Esther answered: My petition and request is this: + +** Esther 5:8 + +If I have found favour in the king's sight, and if it please the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfil my petition: let the king and Aman come to the banquet which I have prepared them, and to morrow I will open my mind to the king. + +** Esther 5:9 + +So Aman went out that day joyful and merry. And when he saw Mardochai sitting before the gate of the palace, and that he not only did not rise up to honour him, but did not so much as move from the place where he sat, he was exceedingly angry: + +** Esther 5:10 + +But dissembling his anger, and returning into his house, he called together to him his friends, and Zares his wife: + +** Esther 5:11 + +And he declared to them the greatness of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and with how great glory the king had advanced him above all his princes and servants. + +** Esther 5:12 + +And after this he said: Queen Esther also hath invited no other to the banquet with the king, but me: and with her I am also to dine to morrow with the king: + +** Esther 5:13 + +And whereas I have all these things, I think I have nothing, so long as I see Mardochai the Jew sitting before the king's gate. + +** Esther 5:14 + +Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared. + +* Esther 6 + +** Esther 6:1 + +That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him, + +** Esther 6:2 + +They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus. + +** Esther 6:3 + +And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all. + +** Esther 6:4 + +And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king's house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet, which was prepared for him. + +** Esther 6:5 + +The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in. + +** Esther 6:6 + +And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself, + +** Esther 6:7 + +Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour, + +** Esther 6:8 + +Ought to be clothed with the king's apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head, + +** Esther 6:9 + +And let the first of the king's princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour. + +** Esther 6:10 + +And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken. + +** Esther 6:11 + +So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour. + +** Esther 6:12 + +But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered: + +** Esther 6:13 + +And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight. + +** Esther 6:14 + +As they were yet speaking, the king's eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared. + +* Esther 7 + +** Esther 7:1 + +So the king and Aman went in, to drink with the queen. + +** Esther 7:2 + +And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. + +** Esther 7:3 + +Then she answered: If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request. + +** Esther 7:4 + +For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king. + +** Esther 7:5 + +And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things? + +** Esther 7:6 + +And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen. + +** Esther 7:7 + +But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king. + +** Esther 7:8 + +And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king's mouth, and immediately they covered his face. + +** Esther 7:9 + +And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman's house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it. + +** Esther 7:10 + +So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king's wrath ceased. + +* Esther 8 + +** Esther 8:1 + +On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews' enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle. + +** Esther 8:2 + +And the king took the ring which he had commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai over her house. + +** Esther 8:3 + +And not content with these things, she fell down at the king's feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect. + +** Esther 8:4 + +But he, as the manner was, held out the golden sceptre with his hand, which was the sign of clemency: and she arose up and stood before him, + +** Esther 8:5 + +And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king's provinces, may be reversed by new letters. + +** Esther 8:6 + +For how can I endure the murdering and slaughter of my people? + +** Esther 8:7 + +And king Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman's house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst lay hands on the Jews. + +** Esther 8:8 + +Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you in the king's name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king's name, and were sealed with his ring. + +** Esther 8:9 + +Then the king's scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear. + +** Esther 8:10 + +And these letters which were sent in the king's name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages. + +** Esther 8:11 + +And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil. + +** Esther 8:12 + +And one day of revenge was appointed through all the provinces, to wit, the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar. + +** Esther 8:13 + +And this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies. + +** Esther 8:14 + +So the swift posts went out carrying the messages, and the king's edict was hung up in Susan. + +** Esther 8:15 + +And Mardochai going forth out of the palace, and from the king's presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky colour, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced, and was glad. + +** Esther 8:16 + +But to the Jews, a new light seemed to rise, joy, honour, and dancing. + +** Esther 8:17 + +And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king's commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: Insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all. + +* Esther 9 + +** Esther 9:1 + +So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries. + +** Esther 9:2 + +And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people. + +** Esther 9:3 + +And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai: + +** Esther 9:4 + +For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men's mouths. + +** Esther 9:5 + +So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them: + +** Esther 9:6 + +Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these: + +** Esther 9:7 + +Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha + +** Esther 9:8 + +And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, + +** Esther 9:9 + +And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha. + +** Esther 9:10 + +And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods. + +** Esther 9:11 + +And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king. + +** Esther 9:12 + +And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done? + +** Esther 9:13 + +And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do to morrow in Susan as they have done to day, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets. + +** Esther 9:14 + +And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged. + +** Esther 9:15 + +And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance. + +** Esther 9:16 + +Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king's dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods. + +** Esther 9:17 + +Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets. + +** Esther 9:18 + +But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness. + +** Esther 9:19 + +But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats. + +** Esther 9:20 + +And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king's provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off, + +** Esther 9:21 + +That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour: + +** Esther 9:22 + +Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats, and should give gifts to the poor. + +** Esther 9:23 + +And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done. + +** Esther 9:24 + +For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them; and had cast Phur, that is, the lot. + +** Esther 9:25 + +And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavors might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets. + +** Esther 9:26 + +And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book: + +** Esther 9:27 + +And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another. + +** Esther 9:28 + +These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies. + +** Esther 9:29 + +And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come. + +** Esther 9:30 + +And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth, + +** Esther 9:31 + +And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots, + +** Esther 9:32 + +And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther. + +* Esther 10 + +** Esther 10:1 + +And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary. + +** Esther 10:2 + +And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians: + +** Esther 10:3 + +And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed. + +** Esther 10:4 + +Then Mardochai said: God hath done these things. + +** Esther 10:5 + +I remember a dream that I saw, which signified these same things: and nothing thereof hath failed. + +** Esther 10:6 + +The little fountain which grew into a river, and was turned into a light, and into the sun, and abounded into many waters, is Esther, whom the king married, and made queen. + +** Esther 10:7 + +But the two dragons are I and Aman. + +** Esther 10:8 + +The nations that were assembled are they that endeavoured to destroy the name of the Jews. + +** Esther 10:9 + +And my nation is Israel, who cried to the Lord, and the Lord saved his people: and he delivered us from all evils, and hath wrought great signs and wonders among the nations: + +** Esther 10:10 + +And he commanded that there should be two lots, one of the people of God, and the other of all the nations. + +** Esther 10:11 + +And both lots came to the day appointed already from that time before God to all nations: + +** Esther 10:12 + +And the Lord remembered his people, and had mercy on his inheritance. + +** Esther 10:13 + +And these days shall be observed in the month of Adar on the fourteenth, and fifteenth day of the same month, with all diligence, and joy of the people gathered into one assembly, throughout all the generations hereafter of the people of Israel. + +* Esther 11 + +** Esther 11:1 + +In the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemy and Cleopatra, Dositheus, who said he was a priest, and of the Levitical race, and Ptolemy his son brought this epistle of Phurim, which they said Lysimachus the son of Ptolemy had interpreted in Jerusalem. + +** Esther 11:2 + +In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the great, in the first day of the month Nisan, Mardochai the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the tribe of Benjamin: + +** Esther 11:3 + +A Jew who dwelt in the city of Susan, a great man and among the first of the king's court, had a dream. + +** Esther 11:4 + +Now he was of the number of the captives, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away from Jerusalem with Jechonias king of Juda: + +** Esther 11:5 + +And this was his dream: Behold there were voices, and tumults, and thunders, and earthquakes, and a disturbance upon the earth. + +** Esther 11:6 + +And behold two great dragons came forth ready to fight one against another. + +** Esther 11:7 + +And at their cry all nations were stirred up to fight against the nation of the just. + +** Esther 11:8 + +And that was a day of darkness and danger, of tribulation and distress, and great fear upon the earth. + +** Esther 11:9 + +And the nation of the just was troubled fearing their own evils, and was prepared for death. + +** Esther 11:10 + +And they cried to God: and as they were crying, a little fountain grew into a very great river, and abounded into many waters. + +** Esther 11:11 + +The light and the sun rose up, and the humble were exalted, and they devoured the glorious. + +** Esther 11:12 + +And when Mardochai had seen this, and arose out of his bed, he was thinking what God would do: and he kept it fixed in his mind, desirous to know what the dream should signify. + +* Esther 12 + +** Esther 12:1 + +And he abode at that time in the king's court with Bagatha and Thara the king's eunuchs, who were porters of the palace. + +** Esther 12:2 + +And when he understood their designs, and had diligently searched into their projects, he learned that they went about to lay violent hands on king Artaxerxes, and he told the king thereof. + +** Esther 12:3 + +Then the king had them both examined, and after they had confessed, commanded them to be put to death. + +** Esther 12:4 + +But the king made a record of what was done: and Mardochai also committed the memory of the thing to writing. + +** Esther 12:5 + +And the king commanded him, to abide in the court of the palace, and gave him presents for the information. + +** Esther 12:6 + +But Aman the son of Amadathi the Bugite was in great honour with the king, and sought to hurt Mardochai and his people, because of the two eunuchs of the king who were put to death. + +* Esther 13 + +** Esther 13:1 + +And this was the copy of the letter: Artaxerxes the great king who reigneth from India to Ethiopia, to the princes and governors of the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, that are subject to his empire, greeting. + +** Esther 13:2 + +Whereas I reigned over many nations, and had brought all the world under my dominion, I was not willing to abuse the greatness of my power, but to govern my subjects with clemency and that they might live quietly without any terror, and might enjoy peace, which is desired by all men, + +** Esther 13:3 + +But when I asked my counsellors how this might be accomplished, one that excelled the rest in wisdom and fidelity, and was second after the king, Aman by name, + +** Esther 13:4 + +Told me that there was a people scattered through the whole world, which used new laws, and acted against the customs of all nations, despised the commandments of kings, and violated by their opposition the concord of all nations. + +** Esther 13:5 + +Wherefore having learned this, and seeing one nation in opposition to all mankind using perverse laws, and going against our commandments, and disturbing the peace and concord of the provinces subject to us, + +** Esther 13:6 + +We have commanded that all whom Aman shall mark out, who is chief over all the provinces, and second after the king, and whom we honour as a father, shall be utterly destroyed by their enemies, with their wives and children, and that none shall have pity on them, on the fourteenth day of the twelfth month Adar of this present year: + +** Esther 13:7 + +That these wicked men going down to hell in one day, may restore to our empire the peace which they had disturbed. + +** Esther 13:8 + +But Mardochai besought the Lord, remembering all his works, + +** Esther 13:9 + +And said: O Lord, Lord, almighty king, for all things are in thy power, and there is none that can resist thy will, if thou determine to save Israel. + +** Esther 13:10 + +Thou hast made heaven and earth and all things that are under the cope of heaven. + +** Esther 13:11 + +Thou art Lord of all, and there is none that can resist thy majesty. + +** Esther 13:12 + +Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest that it was not out of pride and or any desire of glory, that I refused to worship the proud Aman, + +** Esther 13:13 + +(For I would willingly and readily for the salvation of Israel have kissed even the steps of his feet,) + +** Esther 13:14 + +But I feared lest I should transfer the honour of my God to a man, and lest I should adore any one except my God. + +** Esther 13:15 + +And now, O Lord, O king, O God of Abraham, have mercy on thy people, because our enemies resolve to destroy us, and extinguish thy inheritance. + +** Esther 13:16 + +Despise not thy portion, which thou hast redeemed for thyself out of Egypt. + +** Esther 13:17 + +Hear my supplication, and be merciful to thy lot and inheritance, and turn our mourning into joy, that we may live and praise thy name, O Lord, and shut not the mouths of them that sing to thee. + +** Esther 13:18 + +And all Israel with like mind and supplication cried to the Lord, because they saw certain death hanging over their heads. + +* Esther 14 + +** Esther 14:1 + +Queen Esther also, fearing the danger that was at hand, had recourse to the Lord. + +** Esther 14:2 + +And when she had laid away her royal apparel, she put on garments suitable for weeping and mourning: instead of divers precious ointments, she covered her head with ashes and dung, and she humbled her body with fasts: and all the places in which before she was accustomed to rejoice, she filled with her torn hair. + +** Esther 14:3 + +And she prayed to the Lord the God of Israel, saying: O my Lord, who alone art our king, help me a desolate woman, and who have no other helper but thee. + +** Esther 14:4 + +My danger is in my hands. + +** Esther 14:5 + +I have heard of my father that thou, O Lord, didst take Israel from among all nations, and our fathers from all their predecessors, to possess them as an everlasting inheritance, and thou hast done to them as thou hast promised. + +** Esther 14:6 + +We have sinned in thy sight, and therefore thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies: + +** Esther 14:7 + +For we have worshipped their gods. Thou art just, O Lord. + +** Esther 14:8 + +And now they are not content to oppress us with most hard bondage, but attributing the strength of their hands to the power of their idols, + +** Esther 14:9 + +They design to change thy promises, and destroy thy inheritance, and shut the mouths of them that praise thee, and extinguish the glory of thy temple and altar, + +** Esther 14:10 + +That they may open the mouths of Gentiles, and praise the strength of idols, and magnify for ever a carnal king. + +** Esther 14:11 + +Give not, O Lord, thy sceptre to them that are not, lest they laugh at our ruin: but turn their counsel upon themselves, and destroy him that hath begun to rage against us. + +** Esther 14:12 + +Remember, O Lord, and shew thyself to us in the time of our tribulation, and give me boldness, O Lord, king of gods, and of all power: + +** Esther 14:13 + +Give me a well ordered speech in my mouth in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to the hatred of our enemy, that both he himself may perish, and the rest that consent to him. + +** Esther 14:14 + +But deliver us by thy hand, and help me, who have no other helper, but thee, O Lord, who hast the knowledge of all things. + +** Esther 14:15 + +And thou knowest that I hate the glory of the wicked, and abhor the bed of the uncircumcised, and of every stranger. + +** Esther 14:16 + +Thou knowest my necessity, that I abominate the sign of my pride and glory, which is upon my head in the days of my public appearance, and detest it as a menstruous rag, and wear it not in the days of my silence, + +** Esther 14:17 + +And that I have not eaten at Aman's table, nor hath the king's banquet pleased me, and that I have not drunk the wine of the drink offerings: + +** Esther 14:18 + +And that thy handmaid hath never rejoiced, since I was brought hither unto this day but in thee, O Lord, the God of Abraham. + +** Esther 14:19 + +O God, who art mighty above all, hear the voice of them, that have no other hope, and deliver us from the hand of the wicked, and deliver me from my fear. + +* Esther 15 + +** Esther 15:1 + +And he commanded her (no doubt but he was Mardochai) to go to the king, and petition for her people, and for her country. + +** Esther 15:2 + +Remember, (said he,) the days of thy low estate, how thou wast brought up by my hand, because Aman the second after the king hath spoken against us unto death. + +** Esther 15:3 + +And do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king for us, and deliver us from death. + +** Esther 15:4 + +And on the third day she laid away the garments she wore, and put on her glorious apparel. + +** Esther 15:5 + +And glittering in royal robes, after she had called upon God the ruler and Saviour of all, she took two maids with her, + +** Esther 15:6 + +And upon one of them she leaned, as if for delicateness and overmuch tenderness she were not able to bear up her own body. + +** Esther 15:7 + +And the other maid followed her lady, bearing up her train flowing on the ground. + +** Esther 15:8 + +But she with a rosy colour in her face, and with gracious and bright eyes hid a mind full of anguish, and exceeding great fear. + +** Esther 15:9 + +So going in she passed through all doors in order, and stood before the king, where he sat upon his royal throne, clothed with his royal robes, and glittering with gold, and precious stones, and he was terrible to behold. + +** Esther 15:10 + +And when he had lifted up his countenance, and with burning eyes had shewn the wrath of his heart, the queen sunk down, and her colour turned pale, and she rested her weary head upon her handmaid. + +** Esther 15:11 + +And God changed the king's spirit into mildness, and all in haste and in fear he leaped from his throne, and holding her up in his arms, till she came to herself, caressed her with these words: + +** Esther 15:12 + +What is the matter, Esther?

great king Artaxerxes, from India to Ethiopia, to the governors and princes of a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, which obey our command, sendeth greeting. + +** Esther 16:2 + +Many have abused unto pride the goodness of princes, and the honour that hath been bestowed upon them: + +** Esther 16:3 + +And not only endeavour to oppress the king's subjects, but not bearing the glory that is given them, take in hand, to practise also against them that gave it. + +** Esther 16:4 + +Neither are they content not to return thanks for benefits received, and to violate in themselves the laws of humanity, but they think they can also escape the justice of God who seeth all things. + +** Esther 16:5 + +And they break out into so great madness, as to endeavour to undermine by lies such as observe diligently the offices committed to them, and do all things in such manner as to be worthy of all men's praise, + +** Esther 16:6 + +While with crafty fraud they deceive the ears of princes that are well meaning, and judge of others by their own nature. + +** Esther 16:7 + +Now this is proved both from ancient histories, and by the things which are done daily, how the good designs of kings are depraved by the evil suggestions of certain men. + +** Esther 16:8 + +Wherefore we must provide for the peace of all provinces. + +** Esther 16:9 + +Neither must you think, if we command different things, that it cometh of the levity of our mind, but that we give sentence according to the quality and necessity of times, as the profit of the commonwealth requireth. + +** Esther 16:10 + +Now that you may more plainly understand what we say, Aman the son of Amadathi, a Macedonian both in mind and country, and having nothing of the Persian blood, but with his cruelty staining our goodness, was received being a stranger by us: + +** Esther 16:11 + +And found our humanity so great towards him, that he was called our father, and was worshipped by all as the next man after the king: + +** Esther 16:12 + +But he was so far puffed up with arrogancy, as to go about to deprive us of our kingdom and life. + +** Esther 16:13 + +For with certain new and unheard of devices he hath sought the destruction of Mardochai, by whose fidelity and good services our life was saved, and of Esther the partner of our kingdom with all their nation: + +** Esther 16:14 + +Thinking that after they were slain, he might work treason against us left alone without friends, and might transfer the kingdom of the Persians to the Macedonians. + +** Esther 16:15 + +But we have found that the Jews, who were by that most wicked man appointed to be slain, are in no fault at all, but contrariwise, use just laws, + +** Esther 16:16 + +And are the children of the highest and the greatest, and the ever living God, by whose benefit the kingdom was given both to our fathers and to us, and is kept unto this day. + +** Esther 16:17 + +Wherefore know ye that those letters which he sent in our name, are void and of no effect. + +** Esther 16:18 + +For which crime both he himself that devised it, and all his kindred hang on gibbets, before the gates of this city Susan: not we, but God repaying him as he deserved. + +** Esther 16:19 + +But this edict, which we now send, shall be published in all cities, that the Jews may freely follow their own laws. + +** Esther 16:20 + +And you shall aid them that they may kill those who had prepared themselves to kill them, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is called Adar. + +** Esther 16:21 + +For the almighty God hath turned this day of sadness and mourning into joy to them. + +** Esther 16:22 + +Wherefore you shall also count this day among other festival days, and celebrate it with all joy, that it may be known also in times to come, + +** Esther 16:23 + +That all they who faithfully obey the Persians, receive a worthy reward for their fidelity: but they that are traitors to their kingdom, are destroyed for their wickedness. + +** Esther 16:24 + +And let every province and city, that will not be partaker of this solemnity, perish by the sword and by fire, and be destroyed in such manner as to be made unpassable, both to men and beasts, for an example of contempt, and disobedience. + diff --git a/DRC/Exodus.org b/DRC/Exodus.org new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e734a4e --- /dev/null +++ b/DRC/Exodus.org @@ -0,0

And Jethro said to him: Go in peace. + +** Exodus 4:19 + +And the Lord said to Moses, in Madian: Go, and return into Egypt; for they are all dead that sought thy life. + +** Exodus 4:20 + +Moses therefore took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an ass; and returned into Egypt, carrying the rod of God in his hand. + +** Exodus 4:21 + +And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go. + +** Exodus 4:22 + +And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn. + +** Exodus 4:23 + +I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn. + +** Exodus 4:24 + +And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him. + +** Exodus 4:25 + +Immediately Sephora took a very sharp stone, and circumcised the foreskin of her son, and touched his feet, and said: A bloody spouse art thou to me. + +** Exodus 4:26 + +And he let him go after she had said: A bloody spouse art thou to me, because of the circumcision. + +** Exodus 4:27 + +And the Lord said to Aaron: Go into the desert to meet Moses.

I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. + +** Exodus 5:3 + +And they said: The God of the Hebrews hath called us, to go three days' journey into the wilderness, and to sacrifice to the Lord our God; lest a pestilence or the sword fall upon us. + +** Exodus 5:4 + +The king of Egypt said to them: Why do you Moses and Aaron draw off the people from their works? Get you gone to your burdens. + +** Exodus 5:5 + +And Pharao said: The people of the land are numerous; you see that the multitude is increased; how much more if you give them rest from their works? + +** Exodus 5:6 + +Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the task-masters of the people, saying: + +** Exodus 5:7 + +You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before; but let them go and gather straw. + +** Exodus 5:8 + +And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before; neither shall you diminish any thing thereof, for they are idle, and therefore they cry. saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God. + +** Exodus 5:9 + +Let them be oppressed with works, and let them fulfil them; that they may not regard lying words. + +** Exodus 5:10 + +And the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters, went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao: I allow you no straw; + +** Exodus 5:11 + +Go, and gather it where you can find it; neither shall any thing of your work be diminished. + +** Exodus 5:12 + +And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw. + +** Exodus 5:13 + +And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfil your work every day, as before ye were wont to do, when straw was given you. + +** Exodus 5:14 + +And they that were over the works of the children of Israel, were scourged by Pharao's taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks, both yesterday and to day, as before? + +** Exodus 5:15 + +And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants? + +** Exodus 5:16 + +Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before; behold we, thy servants, are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal. + +** Exodus 5:17 + +And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord. + +** Exodus 5:18 + +Go therefore and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks. + +** Exodus 5:19 + +And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day. + +** Exodus 5:20 + +And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they came out from Pharao: + +** Exodus 5:21 + +And they said to them: The Lord see and judge, because you have, made our savour to stink before Pharao and his servants, and you have given him a sword, to kill us. + +** Exodus 5:22 + +And Moses returned to the Lord, and said: Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou sent me? + +** Exodus 5:23 + +For since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them. + +* Exodus 6 + +** Exodus 6:1 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao: for by a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he cast them out of his land. + +** Exodus 6:2 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord + +** Exodus 6:3 + +That appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty: and my name ADONAI I did not shew them. + +** Exodus 6:4 + +And I made a covenant with them, to give them the land of Chanaan, the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were strangers. + +** Exodus 6:5 + +I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, wherewith the Egyptians have oppressed them: and I have remembered my covenant. + +** Exodus 6:6 + +Therefore say to the children of Israel: I am the Lord who will bring you out from the work-prison of the Egyptians, and will deliver you from bondage: and redeem you with a high arm, and great judgments. + +** Exodus 6:7 + +And I will take you to myself for my people, I will be your God: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the work-prison of the Egyptians: + +** Exodus 6:8 + +And brought you into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and I will give it you to possess: I am the Lord. + +** Exodus 6:9 + +And Moses told all this to the children of Israel: but they did not hearken to him, for anguish of spirit, and most painful work. + +** Exodus 6:10 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Exodus 6:11 + +Go in, and speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. + +** Exodus 6:12 + +Moses answered before the Lord: Behold the children of Israel do not hearken to me: and how will Pharao hear me, especially as I am of uncircumcised lips? + +** Exodus 6:13 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and he gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharao the king of Egypt, that they should bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. + +** Exodus 6:14 + +These are the heads of their houses by their families.

neither did they think of preparing any meat. + +** Exodus 12:40 + +And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. + +** Exodus 12:41 + +Which being expired, the same day all the army of the Lord went forth out of the land of Egypt. + +** Exodus 12:42 + +This is the observable night of the Lord, when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: this night all the children of Israel must observe in their generations. + +** Exodus 12:43 + +And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: This is the service of the Phase; no foreigner shall eat of it. + +** Exodus 12:44 + +But every bought servant shall be circumcised, and so shall eat. + +** Exodus 12:45 + +The stranger and the hireling shall not eat thereof. + +** Exodus 12:46 + +In one house shall it be eaten, neither shall you carry forth of the flesh thereof out of the house, neither shall you break a bone thereof. + +** Exodus 12:47 + +All the assembly of the children of Israel shall keep it. + +** Exodus 12:48 + +And if any stranger be willing to dwell among you, and to keep the Phase of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and then shall he celebrate it according to the manner: and he shall be as he that is born in the land: but if any man be uncircumcised, he shall not eat thereof. + +** Exodus 12:49 + +The same law shall be to him that is born in the land, and to the proselyte that sojourneth with you. + +** Exodus 12:50 + +And all the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. + +** Exodus 12:51 + +And the same day the Lord brought forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their companies. + +* Exodus 13 + +** Exodus 13:1 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Exodus 13:2 + +Sanctify unto me every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, as well of men as of beasts: for they are all mine. + +** Exodus 13:3 + +And Moses said to the people: Remember this day in which you came forth out of Egypt, and out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought you forth out of this place: that you eat no leavened bread. + +** Exodus 13:4 + +This day you go forth in the month of new corn. + +** Exodus 13:5 + +And when the Lord shall have brought thee into the land of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers that he would give thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey, thou shalt celebrate this manner of sacred rites in this month. + +** Exodus 13:6 + +Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be the solemnity of the Lord. + +** Exodus 13:7 + +Unleavened bread shall you eat seven days: there shall not be seen any thing leavened with thee, nor in all thy coasts. + +** Exodus 13:8 + +And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: This is what the Lord did to me when I came forth out of Egypt. + +** Exodus 13:9 + +And it shall be as a sign in thy hand, and as a memorial before thy eyes;

And the Egyptians said: Let us flee from Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against us. + +** Exodus 14:26 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and horsemen. + +** Exodus 14:27 + +And when Moses had stretched forth his hand towards the sea, it returned at the first break of day to the former place: and as the Egyptians were fleeing away, the waters came upon them, and the Lord shut them up in the middle of the waves. + +** Exodus 14:28 + +And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the army of Pharao, who had come into the sea after them, neither did there so much as one of them remain. + +** Exodus 14:29 + +But the children of Israel marched through the midst of the sea upon dry land, and the waters were to them as a wall on the right hand and on the left: + +** Exodus 14:30 + +And the Lord delivered Israel in that day out of the hands of the Egyptians. + +** Exodus 14:31 + +And they saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore, and the mighty hand that the Lord had used against them: and the people feared the Lord, and they believed the Lord, and Moses his servant. + +* Exodus 15 + +** Exodus 15:1 + +Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord, and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea. + +** Exodus 15:2 + +The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he is become salvation to me: he is my God, and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I will exalt him. + +** Exodus 15:3 + +The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name. + +** Exodus 15:4 + +Pharao's chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea. + +** Exodus 15:5 + +The depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone. + +** Exodus 15:6 + +Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy. + +** Exodus 15:7 + +And in the multitude of thy glory thou hast put down thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like stubble. + +** Exodus 15:8 + +And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depths were gathered together in the midst of the sea. + +** Exodus 15:9 + +The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay them. + +** Exodus 15:10 + +Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the mighty waters. + +** Exodus 15:11 + +Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praise-worthy, doing wonders? + +** Exodus 15:12 + +Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them. + +** Exodus 15:13 + +In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy holy habitation. + +** Exodus 15:14 + +Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim. + +** Exodus 15:15 + +Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff. + +** Exodus 15:16 + +Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness of thy arm: let them become immoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed. + +** Exodus 15:17 + +Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation, which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. + +** Exodus 15:18 + +The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. + +** Exodus 15:19 + +For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof. + +** Exodus 15:20 + +So Mary the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and with dances. + +** Exodus 15:21 + +And she began the song to them, saying: Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and his rider he hath thrown into the sea. + +** Exodus 15:22 + +And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the wilderness of Sur: and they marched three days through the wilderness, and found no water. + +** Exodus 15:23 + +And they came into Mara, and they could not drink the waters of Mara because they were bitter: whereupon he gave a name also agreeable to the place, calling it Mara, that is, bitterness. + +** Exodus 15:24 + +And the people murmured against Moses, saying: What shall we drink? + +** Exodus 15:25 + +But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him, + +** Exodus 15:26 + +Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy healer. + +** Exodus 15:27 + +And the children of Israel came into Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped by the waters. + +* Exodus 16 + +** Exodus 16:1 + +And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of the land of Egypt. + +** Exodus 16:2 + +And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. + +** Exodus 16:3 + +And the children of Israel said to them: Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the fleshpots, and ate bread to the full: Why have you brought us into this desert, that you might destroy all the multitude with famine? + +** Exodus 16:4 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you; let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for every day: that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not. + +** Exodus 16:5 + +But the sixth day let them provide for to bring in: and let it be double to that they were wont to gather every day. + +** Exodus 16:6 + +And Moses and Aaron said to the children of Israel In the evening you shall know that the Lord hath brought you forth out of the land of Egypt: + +** Exodus 16:7 + +And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we, that you mutter against us? + +** Exodus 16:8 + +And Moses said: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we? your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord. + +** Exodus 16:9 + +Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the children of Israel: Come before the Lord; for he hath heard your murmuring. + +** Exodus 16:10 + +And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness; and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud. + +** Exodus 16:11 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Exodus 16:12 + +I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, say to them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God. + +** Exodus 16:13 + +So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered the camp: and in the morning a dew lay round about the camp. + +** Exodus 16:14 + +And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground. + +** Exodus 16:15 + +And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them: This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. + +** Exodus 16:16 + +This is the word that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one gather of it as much as is enough to eat; a gomor for every man, according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you take of it. + +** Exodus 16:17 + +And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more, another less. + +** Exodus 16:18 + +And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more that had gathered more; nor did he find less that had provided less: but every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat. + +** Exodus 16:19 + +And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the morning. + +** Exodus 16:20 + +And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the morning, and it began to be full of worms, and it putrified, and Moses was angry with them. + +** Exodus 16:21 + +Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted. + +** Exodus 16:22 + +But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses. + +** Exodus 16:23 + +And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: To morrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord.

And Aaron put it in the tabernacle to be kept. + +** Exodus 16:35 + +And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached the borders of the land of Chanaan. + +** Exodus 16:36 + +Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi. + +* Exodus 17 + +** Exodus 17:1 + +Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to drink. + +** Exodus 17:2 + +And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you tempt the Lord? + +** Exodus 17:3 + +So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst? + +** Exodus 17:4 + +And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me. + +** Exodus 17:5 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Go before the people, and take with thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith thou didst strike the river, and go. + +** Exodus 17:6 + +Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb, and thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel: + +** Exodus 17:7 + +And he called the name of that place Temptation, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not? + +** Exodus 17:8 + +And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim. + +** Exodus 17:9 + +And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men; and go out and fight against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill, having the rod of God in my hand. + +** Exodus 17:10 + +Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur, went up upon the top of the hill. + +** Exodus 17:11 + +And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame; but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame. + +** Exodus 17:12 + +And Moses's hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass, that his hands were not weary until sunset. + +** Exodus 17:13 + +And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword. + +** Exodus 17:14 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Josue; for I will destroy the memory of Amalec from under heaven. + +** Exodus 17:15 + +And Moses built an altar; and called the name thereof, The Lord, my exaltation, saying: + +** Exodus 17:16 + +Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation. + +* Exodus 18 + +** Exodus 18:1 + +And when Jethro the priest of Madian, the kinsman of Moses, had heard all the things that God had done to Moses, and to Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought forth Israel out of Egypt: + +** Exodus 18:2 + +He took Sephora, the wife of Moses, whom he had sent back: + +** Exodus 18:3 + +And her two sons, of whom one was called Gersam: his father saying, I have been a stranger in a foreign country. + +** Exodus 18:4 + +And the other Eliezer: For the God of my father, said he, is my helper, and hath delivered me from the sword of Pharao. + +** Exodus 18:5 + +And Jethro, the kinsman of Moses, came with his sons, and his wife to Moses into the desert, where he was camped by the mountain of God. + +** Exodus 18:6 + +And he sent word to Moses, saying: I Jethro, thy kinsman, come to thee, and thy wife, and thy two sons with her. + +** Exodus 18:7 + +And he went out to meet his kinsman, and worshipped and kissed him: and they saluted one another with words of peace. And when he was come into the tent, + +** Exodus 18:8 + +Moses told his kinsman all that the Lord had done to Pharao, and the Egyptians in favour of Israel: and all the labour which had befallen them in the journey, and that the Lord had delivered them. + +** Exodus 18:9 + +And Jethro rejoiced for all the good things that the Lord had done to Israel, because he had delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians. + +** Exodus 18:10 + +And he said: Blessed is the Lord, who hath delivered his people out of the hand of Egypt. + +** Exodus 18:11 + +Now I know, that the Lord is great above all gods; because they dealt proudly against them. + +** Exodus 18:12 + +So Jethro, the kinsman of Moses, offered holocausts and sacrifices to God: and Aaron and all the ancients of Israel came, to eat bread with him before God. + +** Exodus 18:13 + +And the next day Moses sat to judge the people, who stood by Moses from morning until night. + +** Exodus 18:14 + +And when his kinsman had seen all things that he did among the people, he said: What is it that thou dost among the people? Why sittest thou alone, and all the people wait from morning till night? + +** Exodus 18:15 + +And Moses answered him: The people come to me to seek the judgment of God? + +** Exodus 18:16 + +And when any controversy falleth out among them, they come to me to judge between them, and to shew the precepts of God, and his laws. + +** Exodus 18:17 + +But he said: The thing thou dost is not good. + +** Exodus 18:18 + +Thou art spent with foolish labour, both thou, and this people that is with thee; the business is above thy strength, thou alone canst not bear it. + +** Exodus 18:19 + +But hear my words and counsels, and God shall be with thee.

And when Moses had related the people's words to the Lord, + +** Exodus 19:9 + +The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord. + +** Exodus 19:10 + +And he said to him: Go to the people, and sanctify them to day, and to morrow, and let them wash their garments. + +** Exodus 19:11 + +And let them be ready against the third day; for on the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people, upon Mount Sinai. + +** Exodus 19:12 + +And thou shalt appoint certain limits to the people round about, and thou shalt say to them: Take heed ye go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders thereof: every one that toucheth the mount, dying he shall die. + +** Exodus 19:13 + +No hands shall touch him, but he shall be stoned to death, or he shall be shot through with arrows: whether it be beast, or man, he shall not live.

And after they and their vestments are consecrated, + +** Exodus 29:22 + +Thou shalt take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the fat that covereth the lungs, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, because it is the ram of consecration: + +** Exodus 29:23 + +And one roll of bread, a cake tempered with oil, a wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread, which is set in the sight of the Lord: + +** Exodus 29:24 + +And thou shalt put all upon the hands of Aaron and of his sons, and shalt sanctify them elevating before the Lord. + +** Exodus 29:25 + +And thou shalt take all from their hands; and shalt burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, a most sweet savour in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation. + +** Exodus 29:26 + +Thou shalt take also the breast of the ram, wherewith Aaron was consecrated, and elevating it thou shalt sanctify it before the Lord, and it shall fall to thy share. + +** Exodus 29:27 + +And thou shalt sanctify both the consecrated breast, and the shoulder that thou didst separate of the ram, + +** Exodus 29:28 + +Wherewith Aaron was consecrated and his sons, and they shall fall to Aaron's share, and his sons', by a perpetual right from the children of Israel: because they are the choicest and the beginnings of their peace victims which they offer to the Lord. + +** Exodus 29:29 + +And the holy vesture, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall have after him, that they may be anointed, and their hands consecrated in it. + +** Exodus 29:30 + +He of his sons that shall be appointed high priest in his stead, and that shall enter into the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the sanctuary, shall wear it seven days. + +** Exodus 29:31 + +And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and shalt boil the flesh thereof in the holy place: + +** Exodus 29:32 + +And Aaron and his sons shall eat it. The loaves also, that are in the basket, they shall eat in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, + +** Exodus 29:33 + +That it may be an atoning sacrifice, and the hands of the offerers may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat of them, because they are holy. + +** Exodus 29:34 + +And if there remain of the consecrated flesh, or of the bread, till the morning, thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: they shall not be eaten, because they are sanctified. + +** Exodus 29:35 + +All that I have commanded thee, thou shalt do unto Aaron and his sons. Seven days shalt thou consecrate their hands: + +** Exodus 29:36 + +And thou shalt offer a calf for sin every day for expiation.

Every one, that shall touch it, shall be holy. + +** Exodus 29:38 + +This is what thou shalt sacrifice upon the altar: Two lambs of a year old every day continually, + +** Exodus 29:39 + +One lamb in the morning, and another in the evening. + +** Exodus 29:40 + +With one lamb a tenth part of flour tempered with beaten oil, of the fourth part of a hin, and wine for libation of the same measure. + +** Exodus 29:41 + +And the other lamb thou shalt offer in the evening, according to the rite of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said, for a savour of sweetness: + +** Exodus 29:42 + +It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by perpetual oblation unto your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I will appoint to speak unto thee. + +** Exodus 29:43 + +And there will I command the children of Israel, and the altar shall be sanctified by my glory. + +** Exodus 29:44 + +I will sanctify also the tabernacle of the testimony with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to do the office of priesthood unto me. + +** Exodus 29:45 + +And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will be their God: + +** Exodus 29:46 + +And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who have brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might abide among them, I the Lord their God. + +* Exodus 30 + +** Exodus 30:1 + +Thou shalt make also an altar to burn incense, of setim wood. + +** Exodus 30:2 + +It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is, four square, and two in height.

When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it: + +** Exodus 30:8 + +And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations. + +** Exodus 30:9 + +You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition, nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations. + +** Exodus 30:10 + +And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the blood of that which was offered for sin; and shall make atonement upon it in your generations. It shall be most holy to the Lord. + +** Exodus 30:11 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Exodus 30:12 + +When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel, according to their number, every one of them shall give a price for their souls to the Lord, and there shall be no scourge among them, when they shall be reckoned. + +** Exodus 30:13 + +And this shall every one give that passeth at the naming, half a sicle according to the standard of the temple. A sicle hath twenty obols.

And water being put into it: + +** Exodus 30:19 + +Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it: + +** Exodus 30:20 + +When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord, + +** Exodus 30:21 + +Lest perhaps they die. It shall be an everlasting law to him, and to his seed by successions. + +** Exodus 30:22 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, + +** Exodus 30:23 + +Saying: Take spices, of principal and chosen myrrh five hundred sicles, and of cinnamon half so much; that is, two hundred and fifty sicles, of calamus in like manner two hundred and fifty, + +** Exodus 30:24 + +And of cassia five hundred sicles by the weight of the sanctuary, of oil of olives the measure hin: + +** Exodus 30:25 + +And thou shalt make the holy oil of unction, an ointment compounded after the art of the perfumer, + +** Exodus 30:26 + +And therewith thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony, and the ark of the testament, + +** Exodus 30:27 + +And the table with the vessels thereof, the candlestick and furniture thereof, the altars of incense, + +** Exodus 30:28 + +And of holocaust, and all the furniture that belongeth to the service of them. + +** Exodus 30:29 + +And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified. + +** Exodus 30:30 + +Thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me. + +** Exodus 30:31 + +And thou shalt say to the children of Israel: This oil of unction shall be holy unto me throughout your generations. + +** Exodus 30:32 + +The flesh of man shall not be anointed therewith, and you shall make none other of the same composition, because it is sanctified, and shall be holy unto you. + +** Exodus 30:33 + +What man soever shall compound such, and shall give thereof to a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people. + +** Exodus 30:34 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, galbanum of sweet savour, and the clearest frankincense, all shall be of equal weight. + +** Exodus 30:35 + +And thou shalt make incense compounded by the work of the perfumer, well tempered together, and pure, and most worthy of sanctification. + +** Exodus 30:36 + +And when thou hast beaten all into very small powder, thou shalt set of it before the tabernacle of the testimony, in the place where I will appear to thee. Most holy shall this incense be unto you. + +** Exodus 30:37 + +You shall not make such a composition for your own uses, because it is holy to the Lord. + +** Exodus 30:38 + +What man soever shall make the like, to enjoy the smell thereof, he shall perish out of his people. + +* Exodus 31 + +** Exodus 31:1 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Exodus 31:2 + +Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Juda, + +** Exodus 31:3 + +And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work, + +** Exodus 31:4 + +To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass, + +** Exodus 31:5 + +Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood. + +** Exodus 31:6 + +And I have given him for his companion Ooliab, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan.

Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die. + +** Exodus 31:16 + +Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant + +** Exodus 31:17 + +Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work. + +** Exodus 31:18 + +And the Lord, when he had ended these words in Mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God. + +* Exodus 32 + +** Exodus 32:1 + +And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: For as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him. + +** Exodus 32:2 + +And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me. + +** Exodus 32:3 + +And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron. + +** Exodus 32:4 + +And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders' work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt. + +** Exodus 32:5 + +And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier's voice, saying To morrow is the solemnity of the Lord. + +** Exodus 32:6 + +And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play. + +** Exodus 32:7 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned. + +** Exodus 32:8 + +They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt. + +** Exodus 32:9 + +And again the Lord said to Moses: I see that this people is stiffnecked: + +** Exodus 32:10 + +Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation. + +** Exodus 32:11 + +But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation enkindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand? + +** Exodus 32:12 + +Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of thy people. + +** Exodus 32:13 + +Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to your seed, and you shall possess it for ever: + +** Exodus 32:14 + +And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people. + +** Exodus 32:15 + +And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides, + +** Exodus 32:16 + +And made by the work of God; the writing also of God was graven in the tables. + +** Exodus 32:17 + +And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp. + +** Exodus 32:18 + +But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers. + +** Exodus 32:19 + +And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of the mount: + +** Exodus 32:20 + +And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strewed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink. + +** Exodus 32:21 + +And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin? + +** Exodus 32:22 + +And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended; for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil. + +** Exodus 32:23 + +They said to me: make us gods, that may go before us; for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him. + +** Exodus 32:24 + +And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me; and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out. + +** Exodus 32:25 + +And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked among their enemies) + +** Exodus 32:26 + +Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord's side, let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him: + +** Exodus 32:27 + +And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour. + +** Exodus 32:28 + +And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men. + +** Exodus 32:29 + +And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you. + +** Exodus 32:30 + +And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime. + +** Exodus 32:31 + +And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass, + +** Exodus 32:32 + +Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written. + +** Exodus 32:33 + +And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book: + +** Exodus 32:34 + +But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs. + +** Exodus 32:35 + +The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt, on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made. + +* Exodus 33 + +** Exodus 33:1 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee up from this place, thou and thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land concerning which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To thy seed I will give it: + +** Exodus 33:2 + +And I will send an angel before thee, that I may cast out the Chanaanite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, + +** Exodus 33:3 + +That thou mayst enter into the land that floweth with milk and honey. For I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiffnecked people; lest I destroy thee in the way. + +** Exodus 33:4 + +And the people hearing these very bad tidings, mourned: and no man put on his ornaments according to custom. + +** Exodus 33:5 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Say to the children of Israel: Thou art a stiffnecked people, once I shall come up in the midst of thee, and shall destroy thee. Now presently lay aside thy ornaments, that I may know what to do to thee. + +** Exodus 33:6 + +So the children of Israel laid aside their ornaments by Mount Horeb. + +** Exodus 33:7 + +Moses also taking the tabernacle, pitched it without the camp afar off, and called the name thereof, The tabernacle of the covenant. And all the people, that had any question, went forth to the tabernacle of the covenant, without the camp. + +** Exodus 33:8 + +And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle. + +** Exodus 33:9 + +And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses. + +** Exodus 33:10 + +And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tent. + +** Exodus 33:11 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle. + +** Exodus 33:12 + +And Moses said to the Lord: Thou commandest me to lead forth this people; and thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me, especially whereas thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast found favour in my sight. + +** Exodus 33:13 + +If therefore I have found favour in thy sight, shew me thy face, that I may know thee, and may find grace before thy eyes: look upon thy people this nation. + +** Exodus 33:14 + +And the Lord said: My face shall go before thee, and I will give thee rest. + +** Exodus 33:15 + +And Moses said: If thou thyself dost not go before, bring us not out of this place. + +** Exodus 33:16 + +For how shall we be able to know, I and thy people, that we have found grace in thy sight, unless thou walk with us, that we may be glorified by all people that dwell upon the earth? + +** Exodus 33:17 + +And the Lord said to Moses: This word also, which thou hast spoken, will I do; for thou hast found grace before me, and thee I have known by name. + +** Exodus 33:18 + +And he said: Shew me thy glory. + +** Exodus 33:19 + +He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me. + +** Exodus 33:20 + +And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me, and live. + +** Exodus 33:21 + +And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock. + +** Exodus 33:22 + +And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a hole of the rock, and protect thee with my righthand till I pass: + +** Exodus 33:23 + +And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face thou canst not see. + +* Exodus 34 + +** Exodus 34:1 + +And after this he said: Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the former, and I will write upon them the words, which were in the tables, which thou brokest. + +** Exodus 34:2 + +Be ready in the morning, that thou mayst forthwith go up into Mount Sinai, and thou shalt stand with me upon the top of the mount. + +** Exodus 34:3 + +Let no man go up with thee, and let not any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the oxen nor the sheep feed over against it. + +** Exodus 34:4 + +Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been before; and rising very early he went up into the Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, carrying with him the tables. + +** Exodus 34:5 + +And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord. + +** Exodus 34:6 + +And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true, + +** Exodus 34:7 + +Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away iniquity, and wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before thee. Who renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the grandchildren unto the third and fourth generation. + +** Exodus 34:8 + +And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the earth, and adoring, + +** Exodus 34:9 + +Said: If I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, I beseech thee that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people) and take away our iniquities and sin, and possess us. + +** Exodus 34:10 + +The Lord answered: I will make a covenant in the sight of all, I will do signs such as were never seen upon the earth, nor in any nations; that this people, in the midst of whom thou art, may see the terrible work of the Lord which I will do. + +** Exodus 34:11 + +Observe all things which this day I command thee: I myself will drive out before thy face the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite. + +** Exodus 34:12 + +Beware thou never join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be thy ruin: + +** Exodus 34:13 + +But destroy their altars, break their statues and cut down their groves: + +** Exodus 34:14 + +Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is jealous, he is a jealous God. + +** Exodus 34:15 + +Make no covenant with the men of those countries; lest, when they have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored their idols, some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed. + +** Exodus 34:16 + +Neither shalt thou take of their daughters a wife for thy son, lest after they themselves have committed fornication, they make thy sons also to commit fornication with their gods. + +** Exodus 34:17 + +Thou shalt not make to thyself any molten gods. + +** Exodus 34:18 + +Thou shalt keep the feast of the unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee in the time of the month of the new corn: for in the month of the spring time thou camest out from Egypt. + +** Exodus 34:19 + +All of the male kind that openeth the womb, shall be mine. Of all beasts; both of oxen and of sheep, it shall be mine. + +** Exodus 34:20 + +The firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep: but if thou wilt not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem: neither shalt thou appear before me empty. + +** Exodus 34:21 + +Six days shalt thou work, the seventh day thou shalt cease to plough and to reap. + +** Exodus 34:22 + +Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks with the firstfruits of the corn of thy wheat harvest, and the feast when the time of the year returneth that all things are laid in. + +** Exodus 34:23 + +Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the sight of the almighty Lord the God of Israel. + +** Exodus 34:24 + +For when I shall have taken away the nations from thy face, and shall have enlarged thy borders, no man shall lie in wait against thy land when thou shalt go up, and appear in the sight of the Lord thy God thrice in a year. + +** Exodus 34:25 + +Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon leaven; neither shall there remain in the morning any thing of the victim of the solemnity of the Phase. + +** Exodus 34:26 + +The first of the fruits of thy ground thou shalt offer in the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam. + +** Exodus 34:27 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Write thee these words, by which I have made a covenant both with thee and with Israel. + +** Exodus 34:28 + +And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant. + +** Exodus 34:29 + +And when Moses came down from the Mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord. + +** Exodus 34:30 + +And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near. + +** Exodus 34:31 + +And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them, + +** Exodus 34:32 + +And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord on Mount Sinai. + +** Exodus 34:33 + +And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face. + +** Exodus 34:34 + +But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him. + +** Exodus 34:35 + +And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them. + +* Exodus 35 + +** Exodus 35:1 + +And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done: + +** Exodus 35:2 + +Six days you shall do work; the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death. + +** Exodus 35:3 + +You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day. + +** Exodus 35:4 + +And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying: + +** Exodus 35:5 + +Set aside with you firstfruits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass, + +** Exodus 35:6 + +Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats' hair, + +** Exodus 35:7 + +And rams' skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, setim wood, + +** Exodus 35:8 + +And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet incense, + +** Exodus 35:9 + +Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod and the rational. + +** Exodus 35:10 + +Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded: + +** Exodus 35:11 + +To wit, the tabernacle, and the roof thereof, and the cover, the rings, and the board-work with the bars, the pillars and the sockets: + +** Exodus 35:12 + +The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it: + +** Exodus 35:13 + +The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of proposition: + +** Exodus 35:14 + +The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires: + +** Exodus 35:15 + +The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction, and the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle: + +** Exodus 35:16 + +The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels thereof: the laver and its foot: + +** Exodus 35:17 + +The curtains of the court, with the pillars and the sockets, the hanging in the doors of the entry. + +** Exodus 35:18 + +The pins of the tabernacle, and of the court, with their little cords: + +** Exodus 35:19 + +The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the sanctuary, the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do the office of priesthood to me. + +** Exodus 35:20 + +And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence of Moses, + +** Exodus 35:21 + +Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was necessary to the service and to the holy vestments, + +** Exodus 35:22 + +Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord. + +** Exodus 35:23 + +If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats' hair, ramskins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, + +** Exodus 35:24 + +Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses. + +** Exodus 35:25 + +The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, + +** Exodus 35:26 + +And goats' hair, giving all of their own accord. + +** Exodus 35:27 + +But the princes offered onyx stones, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational, + +** Exodus 35:28 + +And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour. + +** Exodus 35:29 + +All, both men and women, with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord. + +** Exodus 35:30 + +And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold, the Lord hath called by name Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Juda, + +** Exodus 35:31 + +And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge, and all learning, + +** Exodus 35:32 + +To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass, + +** Exodus 35:33 + +And in engraving stones, and in carpenters' work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially, + +** Exodus 35:34 + +He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan: + +** Exodus 35:35 + +Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters' work, and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things. + +* Exodus 36 + +** Exodus 36:1 + +Beseleel therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded. + +** Exodus 36:2 + +And when Moses had called them, and every skilful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work, + +** Exodus 36:3 + +He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows. + +** Exodus 36:4 + +Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come, + +** Exodus 36:5 + +Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary. + +** Exodus 36:6 + +Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier's voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts, + +** Exodus 36:7 + +Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much. + +** Exodus 36:8 + +And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering: + +** Exodus 36:9 + +The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size. + +** Exodus 36:10 + +And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another. + +** Exodus 36:11 + +He made also loops of violet in the edge of one curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner, + +** Exodus 36:12 + +That the loops might meet one against another, and might be joined each with the other. + +** Exodus 36:13 + +Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle. + +** Exodus 36:14 + +He made also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle: + +** Exodus 36:15 + +One curtain was thirty cubits long, and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure. + +** Exodus 36:16 + +Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart. + +** Exodus 36:17 + +And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another. + +** Exodus 36:18 + +And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering. + +** Exodus 36:19 + +He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams' skins dyed red; and another cover over that of violet skins. + +** Exodus 36:20 + +He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing. + +** Exodus 36:21 + +The length of one board was ten cubits; and the breadth was one cubit and a half. + +** Exodus 36:22 + +There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle. + +** Exodus 36:23 + +Of which twenty were at the south side southward, + +** Exodus 36:24 + +With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners. + +** Exodus 36:25 + +At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh towards the north, he made twenty boards, + +** Exodus 36:26 + +With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board. + +** Exodus 36:27 + +But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards, + +** Exodus 36:28 + +And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind: + +** Exodus 36:29 + +Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners: + +** Exodus 36:30 + +So there were in all eight boards, and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board. + +** Exodus 36:31 + +He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle, + +** Exodus 36:32 + +And five others to join together the boards of the other side; and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea. + +** Exodus 36:33 + +He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner. + +** Exodus 36:34 + +And the boards themselves he overlaid with gold casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold. + +** Exodus 36:35 + +He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery: + +** Exodus 36:36 + +And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. + +** Exodus 36:37 + +He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer. + +** Exodus 36:38 + +And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass. + +* Exodus 37 + +** Exodus 37:1 + +And Beseleel made also, the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without. + +** Exodus 37:2 + +And he made to it a crown of gold round about, + +** Exodus 37:3 + +Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other. + +** Exodus 37:4 + +And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold, + +** Exodus 37:5 + +And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it. + +** Exodus 37:6 + +He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth. + +** Exodus 37:7 + +Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory: + +** Exodus 37:8 + +One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory, + +** Exodus 37:9 + +Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it. + +** Exodus 37:10 + +He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half. + +** Exodus 37:11 + +And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about, + +** Exodus 37:12 + +And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers breadth, and upon the same another golden crown. + +** Exodus 37:13 + +And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table, + +** Exodus 37:14 + +Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried. + +** Exodus 37:15 + +The bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold. + +** Exodus 37:16 + +And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered. + +** Exodus 37:17 + +He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. from the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out: + +** Exodus 37:18 + +Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other. + +** Exodus 37:19 + +Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies: and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches, that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal. + +** Exodus 37:20 + +And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies: + +** Exodus 37:21 + +And bowls under two branches in three places, which together made six branches going out from one shaft. + +** Exodus 37:22 + +So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold. + +** Exodus 37:23 + +He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold. + +** Exodus 37:24 + +The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold. + +** Exodus 37:25 + +He made also the alter of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns. + +** Exodus 37:26 + +And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate, and the sides, and the horns. + +** Exodus 37:27 + +And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried. + +** Exodus 37:28 + +And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold. + +** Exodus 37:29 + +He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer. + +* Exodus 38 + +** Exodus 38:1 + +He made also the altar of holocaust of setim wood, five cubits square, and three in height: + +** Exodus 38:2 + +The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of brass. + +** Exodus 38:3 + +And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks and firepans. + +** Exodus 38:4 + +And he made the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth, + +** Exodus 38:5 + +Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it: + +** Exodus 38:6 + +And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of brass: + +** Exodus 38:7 + +And he drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within. + +** Exodus 38:8 + +He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watched at the door of the tabernacle. + +** Exodus 38:9 + +He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits. + +** Exodus 38:10 + +Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the heads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver. + +** Exodus 38:11 + +In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and the sockets and heads of the pillars were of the same measure, and work and metal. + +** Exodus 38:12 + +But on that side that looketh to the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, ten pillars of brass with their sockets, and the heads of the pillars, and all the graving of the work, of silver. + +** Exodus 38:13 + +Moreover, towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits: + +** Exodus 38:14 + +Fifteen cubits of which, were on one side with three pillars, and their sockets: + +** Exodus 38:15 + +And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets. + +** Exodus 38:16 + +All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen. + +** Exodus 38:17 + +The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also with silver. + +** Exodus 38:18 + +And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high, according to the measure of all the hangings of the court. + +** Exodus 38:19 + +And the pillars in the entry were four, with sockets of brass, and their heads and gravings of silver. + +** Exodus 38:20 + +The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made of brass. + +** Exodus 38:21 + +These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest: + +** Exodus 38:22 + +Which Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda, had made, as the Lord commanded by Moses. + +** Exodus 38:23 + +Having for his companion Ooliab, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan: who also was an excellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. + +** Exodus 38:24 + +All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts, was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary. + +** Exodus 38:25 + +And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms. + +** Exodus 38:26 + +There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth. + +** Exodus 38:27 + +A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent being reckoned for every socket. + +** Exodus 38:28 + +And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver. + +** Exodus 38:29 + +And there were offered of brass also seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred sicles besides, + +** Exodus 38:30 + +Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and also the vessels that belong to the use thereof. + +** Exodus 38:31 + +And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about. + +* Exodus 39 + +** Exodus 39:1 + +And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:2 + +So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, + +** Exodus 39:3 + +With embroidered work, and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the foresaid colours, + +** Exodus 39:4 + +And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side, + +** Exodus 39:5 + +And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:6 + +He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel: + +** Exodus 39:7 + +And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:8 + +He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen: + +** Exodus 39:9 + +Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span. + +** Exodus 39:10 + +And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, an emerald. + +** Exodus 39:11 + +In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper. + +** Exodus 39:12 + +In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst. + +** Exodus 39:13 + +In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows. + +** Exodus 39:14 + +And the twelve stones, were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name. + +** Exodus 39:15 + +They made also in the rational little chains, linked one to another, of the purest gold, + +** Exodus 39:16 + +And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational, + +** Exodus 39:17 + +On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod. + +** Exodus 39:18 + +These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together, + +** Exodus 39:19 + +Being fastened to the girdle, and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:20 + +They made also the tunic of the ephod all of violet, + +** Exodus 39:21 + +And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole: + +** Exodus 39:22 + +And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen: + +** Exodus 39:23 + +And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunic round about: + +** Exodus 39:24 + +To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:25 + +They made also fine linen tunics with woven work for Aaron and his sons: + +** Exodus 39:26 + +And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen: + +** Exodus 39:27 + +And linen breeches of fine linen: + +** Exodus 39:28 + +And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:29 + +They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold, and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary: The Holy of the Lord: + +** Exodus 39:30 + +And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:31 + +So all the work of the tabernacle and of the roof of the testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Exodus 39:32 + +And they offered the tabernacle, and the roof, and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars and their sockets, + +** Exodus 39:33 + +The cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins, + +** Exodus 39:34 + +The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory, + +** Exodus 39:35 + +The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition: + +** Exodus 39:36 + +The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them, with the oil: + +** Exodus 39:37 + +The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices: + +** Exodus 39:38 + +And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle: + +** Exodus 39:39 + +The altar of brass, the grate, the bars, and all the vessels thereof: the laver, with the foot thereof: the hangings of the court, and the pillars, with their sockets: + +** Exodus 39:40 + +The hanging in the entry of the court, and the little cords, and the pins thereof.

+Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned all thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations. + +** Ezekiel 16:44 + +Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her

at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters. + +** Ezekiel 16:47 + +But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways. + +** Ezekiel 16:48 + +As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters. + +** Ezekiel 16:49 + +Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and the poor. + +** Ezekiel 16:50 + +And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen. + +** Ezekiel 16:51 + +And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done. + +** Ezekiel 16:52 + +Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters. + +** Ezekiel 16:53 + +And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them. + +** Ezekiel 16:54 + +That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them. + +** Ezekiel 16:55 + +And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state. + +** Ezekiel 16:56 + +And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride, + +** Ezekiel 16:57 + +Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides. + +** Ezekiel 16:58 + +Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 16:59 + +For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant: + +** Ezekiel 16:60 + +And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant. + +** Ezekiel 16:61 + +And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. + +** Ezekiel 16:62 + +And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, + +** Ezekiel 16:63 + +That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God. + +* Ezekiel 17 + +** Ezekiel 17:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 17:2 + +Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel, + +** Ezekiel 17:3 + +And say: Thus saith the Lord God; A large eagle with great wings, long-limbed, full of feathers, and of variety, came to Libanus, and took away the marrow of the cedar. + +** Ezekiel 17:4 + +He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants. + +** Ezekiel 17:5 + +And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth. + +** Ezekiel 17:6 + +And it sprung up and grew into a spreading vine of low stature, and the branches thereof looked towards him: and the roots thereof were under him. So it became a vine, and grew into branches, and shot forth sprigs. + +** Ezekiel 17:7 + +And there was another large eagle, with great wings, and many feathers: and behold this vine, bending as it were her roots towards him, stretched forth her branches to him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. + +** Ezekiel 17:8 + +It was planted in a good ground upon many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, that it might become a large vine. + +** Ezekiel 17:9 + +Say thou: Thus saith the Lord God: Shall it prosper then? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and strip off its fruit, and dry up all the branches it hath shot forth, and make it wither: and this without a strong arm, or many people to pluck it up by the root? + +** Ezekiel 17:10 + +Behold, it is planted: shall it prosper then? shall it not be dried up when the burning wind shall touch it, and shall it not wither in the furrows where it grew? + +** Ezekiel 17:11 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 17:12 + +Say to the provoking house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold the king of Babylon cometh to Jerusalem: and he shall take away the king and the princes thereof and carry them with him to Babylon. + +** Ezekiel 17:13 + +And he shall take one of the king's seed, and make a covenant with him, and take an oath of him. Yea, and he shall take away the mighty men of the land, + +** Ezekiel 17:14 + +That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant and observe it. + +** Ezekiel 17:15 + +But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant? + +** Ezekiel 17:16 + +As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die. + +** Ezekiel 17:17 + +And not with a great army, nor with much people shall Pharao fight against him: when he shall cast up mounts, and build forts, to cut off many souls. + +** Ezekiel 17:18 + +For he had despised the oath, breaking his covenant, and behold he hath given his hand: and having done all these things, he shall not escape. + +** Ezekiel 17:19 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As I live, I will lay upon his head the oath he hath despised, and the covenant he hath broken. + +** Ezekiel 17:20 + +And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, and will judge him there for the transgression by which he hath despised me. + +** Ezekiel 17:21 + +And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword: and the residue shall be scattered into every wind: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken. + +** Ezekiel 17:22 + +Thus saith the Lord God: I myself will take of the marrow of the high cedar, and will set it: I will crop off a tender twig from the top of the branches thereof, and I will plant it on a mountain high and eminent. + +** Ezekiel 17:23 + +On the high mountains of Israel will I plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches and shall bear fruit, and it shall become a great cedar: and all birds shall dwell under it, and every fowl shall make its nest under the shadow of the branches thereof. + +** Ezekiel 17:24 + +And all the trees of the country shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, and exalted the low tree: and have dried up the green tree, and have caused the dry tree to flourish. I the Lord have spoken and have done it. + +* Ezekiel 18 + +** Ezekiel 18:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What is the meaning? + +** Ezekiel 18:2 + +That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge. + +** Ezekiel 18:3 + +As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel. + +** Ezekiel 18:4 + +Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die. + +** Ezekiel 18:5 + +And if a man be just, and do judgment and justice, + +** Ezekiel 18:6 + +And hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel: and hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a menstruous woman: + +** Ezekiel 18:7 + +And hath not wronged any man: but hath restored the pledge to the debtor, hath taken nothing away by violence: hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment: + +** Ezekiel 18:8 + +Hath not lent upon usury, nor taken any increase: hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, and hath executed true judgment between man and man: + +** Ezekiel 18:9 + +Hath walked in my commandments, and kept my judgments, to do truth: he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 18:10 + +And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one of these things: + +** Ezekiel 18:11 + +Though he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour's wife: + +** Ezekiel 18:12 + +That grieveth the needy and the poor, that taketh away by violence, that restoreth not the pledge, and that lifteth up his eyes to idols, that comitteth abomination: + +** Ezekiel 18:13 + +That giveth upon usury, and that taketh an increase: shall such a one live? he shall not live.

grieved the fatherless and widow in thee. + +** Ezekiel 22:8 + +Thou hast despised my sanctuaries, and profaned my sabbaths. + +** Ezekiel 22:9 + +Slanderers have been in thee to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains in thee, they have committed wickedness in the midst of thee. + +** Ezekiel 22:10 + +They have discovered the nakedness of their father in thee, they have humbled the uncleanness of the menstruous woman in thee. + +** Ezekiel 22:11 + +And every one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife, and the father in law hath wickedly defiled his daughter in law, the brother hath oppressed his sister the daughter of his father in thee. + +** Ezekiel 22:12 + +They have taken gifts in thee to shed blood: thou hast taken usury and increase, and hast covetously oppressed thy neighbours: and thou hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 22:13 + +Behold, I have clapped my hands at thy covetousness, which thou hast exercised: and at the blood that hath been shed in the midst of thee. + +** Ezekiel 22:14 + +Shall thy heart endure, or shall thy hands prevail in the days which I will bring upon thee: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it. + +**

gather you together, and will burn you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof. + +** Ezekiel 22:22 + +As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have poured out my indignation upon you. + +** Ezekiel 22:23 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 22:24 + +Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath. + +** Ezekiel 22:25 + +There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof. + +** Ezekiel 22:26 + +Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them. + +** Ezekiel 22:27 + +Her princes in the midst of her, are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls, and to run after gains through covetousness. + +** Ezekiel 22:28 + +And her prophets have daubed them without tempering the mortar, seeing vain things, and divining lies unto them, saying: Thus saith the Lord God: when the Lord hath not spoken. + +** Ezekiel 22:29 + +The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor, and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment. + +** Ezekiel 22:30 + +And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none. + +** Ezekiel 22:31 + +And I poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God. + +* Ezekiel 23 + +** Ezekiel 23:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 23:2 + +Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother. + +** Ezekiel 23:3 + +And they committed fornication in Egypt, in their youth they committed fornication: there were their breasts pressed down, and the teats of their virginity were bruised. + +** Ezekiel 23:4 + +And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba. + +** Ezekiel 23:5 + +And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her, + +** Ezekiel 23:6 + +Who were clothed with blue, princes, and rulers, beautiful youths, all horsemen, mounted upon horses. + +** Ezekiel 23:7 + +And she committed her fornications with those chosen men, all sons of the Assyrians: and she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all them on whom she doted. + +** Ezekiel 23:8 + +Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her. + +** Ezekiel 23:9 + +Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted. + +** Ezekiel 23:10 + +They discovered her disgrace, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and they became infamous women, and they executed judgments in her. + +** Ezekiel 23:11 + +And when her sister Ooliba saw this, she was mad with lust more than she: and she carried her fornication beyond the fornication of her sister. + +** Ezekiel 23:12 + +Impudently prostituting herself to the children of the Assyrians, the princes, and rulers that came to her, clothed with divers colours, to the horsemen that rode upon horses, and to young men all of great beauty. + +** Ezekiel 23:13 + +And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way. + +** Ezekiel 23:14 + +And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours, + +** Ezekiel 23:15 + +And girded with girdles about their reins, and with dyed turbans on their heads, the resemblance of all the captains, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, and of the land of the Chaldeans wherein they were born, + +** Ezekiel 23:16 + +She doted upon them with the lust of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them into Chaldea. + +** Ezekiel 23:17 + +And when the sons of Babylon were come to her to the bed of love, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was glutted with them. + +** Ezekiel 23:18 + +And she discovered her fornications, and discovered her disgrace: and my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister. + +** Ezekiel 23:19 + +For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt. + +** Ezekiel 23:20 + +And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses. + +** Ezekiel 23:21 + +And thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy youth, when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the paps of thy virginity broken. + +** Ezekiel 23:22 + +Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will raise up against thee all thy lovers with whom thy soul hath been glutted: and I will gather them together against thee round about. + +** Ezekiel 23:23 + +The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, and the kings, and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, beautiful young men, all the captains, and rulers, the princes of princes, and the renowned horsemen. + +** Ezekiel 23:24 + +And they shall come upon thee well appointed with chariot and wheel, a multitude of people: they shall be armed against thee on every side with breastplate, and buckler, and helmet: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee by their judgments. + +** Ezekiel 23:25 + +And I will set my jealousy against thee, which they shall execute upon thee with fury: they shall cut off thy nose and thy ears: and what remains shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by fire. + +** Ezekiel 23:26 + +And they shall strip thee of thy garments, and take away the instruments of thy glory. + +** Ezekiel 23:27 + +And I will put an end to thy wickedness in thee, and thy fornication brought out of the land of Egypt: neither shalt thou lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more. + +** Ezekiel 23:28 + +For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest, into their hands with whom thy soul hath been glutted. + +** Ezekiel 23:29 + +And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and they shall take away all thy labours, and shall let thee go naked, and full of disgrace, and the disgrace of thy fornication shall be discovered, thy wickedness, and thy fornications. + +** Ezekiel 23:30 + +They have done these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the nations among which thou wast defiled with their idols. + +** Ezekiel 23:31 + +Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister and I will give her cup into thy hand. + +** Ezekiel 23:32 + +Thus saith the Lord God: Thou shalt drink thy sister's cup, deep and wide: thou shalt be had in derision and scorn, which containeth very much. + +** Ezekiel 23:33 + +Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness, and sorrow: with the cup of grief and sadness, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. + +** Ezekiel 23:34 + +And thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs, and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 23:35 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast forgotten me, and hast cast me off behind thy back, bear thou also thy wickedness, and thy fornications. + +** Ezekiel 23:36 + +And the Lord spoke to me, saying: Son of man, dost thou judge Oolla, and Ooliba, and dost thou declare to them their wicked deeds? + +** Ezekiel 23:37 + +Because they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and they have committed fornication with their idols: moreover also their children, whom they bore to me, they have offered to them to be devoured. + +** Ezekiel 23:38 + +Yea, and they have done this to me. They polluted my sanctuary on the same day, and profaned my sabbaths. + +** Ezekiel 23:39 + +And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, and went into my sanctuary the same day to profane it: they did these things even in the midst of my house. + +** Ezekiel 23:40 + +They sent for men coming from afar, to whom they had sent a messenger: and behold they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, and didst paint thy eyes, and wast adorned with women's ornaments. + +** Ezekiel 23:41 + +Thou sattest on a very fine bed, and a table was decked before thee: whereupon thou didst set my incense, and my ointment. + +** Ezekiel 23:42 + +And there was in her the voice of a multitude rejoicing: and to some that were brought of the multitude of men, and that came from the desert, they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads. + +** Ezekiel 23:43 + +And I said to her that was worn out in her adulteries: Now will this woman still continue in her fornication. + +** Ezekiel 23:44 + +And they went in to her, as to a harlot: so went they in unto Oolla, and Ooliba, wicked women. + +** Ezekiel 23:45 + +They therefore are just men: these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as shedders of blood are judged: because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. + +** Ezekiel 23:46 + +For thus saith the Lord God: Bring a multitude upon them, and deliver them over to tumult and rapine: + +** Ezekiel 23:47 + +And let the people stone them with stone, and let them be stabbed with their swords: they shall kill their sons and daughters, and their houses they shall burn with fire. + +** Ezekiel 23:48 + +And I will take away wickedness out of the land: and all women shall learn, not to do according to the wickedness of them. + +** Ezekiel 23:49 + +And they shall render your wickedness upon you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. + +* Ezekiel 24 + +** Ezekiel 24:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying: + +** Ezekiel 24:2 + +Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem to day. + +** Ezekiel 24:3 + +And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water in it. + +** Ezekiel 24:4 + +Heap together into it the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones. + +** Ezekiel 24:5 + +Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of it. + +** Ezekiel 24:6 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon it. + +** Ezekiel 24:7 + +For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust. + +** Ezekiel 24:8 + +And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered. + +** Ezekiel 24:9 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire. + +** Ezekiel 24:10 + +Heap together the bones, which I will burn with fire: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed. + +** Ezekiel 24:11 + +Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed. + +** Ezekiel 24:12 + +Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even by fire. + +** Ezekiel 24:13 + +Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee. + +** Ezekiel 24:14 + +I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 24:15 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 24:16 + +Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke, and thou shall not lament, nor weep; neither shall thy tears run down. + +** Ezekiel 24:17 + +Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners. + +** Ezekiel 24:18 + +So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me. + +** Ezekiel 24:19 + +And the people said to me: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest? + +** Ezekiel 24:20 + +And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 24:21 + +Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword. + +** Ezekiel 24:22 + +And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners. + +** Ezekiel 24:23 + +You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother. + +** Ezekiel 24:24 + +And Ezekiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 24:25 + +And thou, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their daughters. + +** Ezekiel 24:26 + +In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee: + +** Ezekiel 24:27 + +In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord. + +* Ezekiel 25 + +** Ezekiel 25:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 25:2 + +Son of man, set thy face against the children of Ammon, and thou shalt prophesy of them. + +** Ezekiel 25:3 + +And thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because they are led into captivity: + +** Ezekiel 25:4 + +Therefore will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk. + +** Ezekiel 25:5 + +And I will make Rabbath a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: and you shall know that I am the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 25:6 + +For thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced with all thy heart against the land of Israel: + +** Ezekiel 25:7 + +Therefore behold I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations, and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 25:8 + +Thus saith the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations: + +** Ezekiel 25:9 + +Therefore behold I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and his borders, the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim, + +** Ezekiel 25:10 + +To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations. + +** Ezekiel 25:11 + +And I will execute judgments in Moab: and they shall know that I am the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 25:12 + +Thus saith the Lord God: Because Edom hath taken vengeance to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and hath greatly offended, and hath sought revenge of them: + +** Ezekiel 25:13 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword. + +** Ezekiel 25:14 + +And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 25:15 + +Thus saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their mind, destroying and satisfying old enmities: + +** Ezekiel 25:16 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast. + +** Ezekiel 25:17 + +And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. + +* Ezekiel 26 + +** Ezekiel 26:1 + +And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 26:2 + +Son of man, because Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, the gates of the people are broken, she is turned to me: I shall be filled, now she is laid waste. + +** Ezekiel 26:3 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to come up to thee, as the waves of the sea rise up. + +** Ezekiel 26:4 + +And they shall break down the walls of Tyre, and destroy the towers thereof: and I will scrape her dust from her, and make her like a smooth rock. + +** Ezekiel 26:5 + +She shall be a drying place for nets in the midst of the sea, because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and she shall be a spoil to the nations. + +** Ezekiel 26:6 + +Her daughters also that are in the field, shall be slain by the sword: and they shall know that I am the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 26:7 + +For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will bring against Tyre Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, the king of kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and much people. + +** Ezekiel 26:8 + +Thy daughters that are in the field, he shall kill with the sword: and he shall compass thee with forts, and shall cast up a mount round about: and he shall lift up the buckler against thee. + +** Ezekiel 26:9 + +And he shall set engines of war and battering rams against thy walls, and shall destroy thy towers with his arms. + +** Ezekiel 26:10 + +By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, when they shall go in at thy gates, as by the entrance of a city that is destroyed. + +** Ezekiel 26:11 + +With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all thy streets, thy people he shall kill with the sword, and thy famous statues shall fall to the ground. + +** Ezekiel 26:12 + +They shall waste thy riches, they shall make a spoil of thy merchandise: and they shall destroy thy walls, and pull down thy fine houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber, and thy dust in the midst of the waters. + +** Ezekiel 26:13 + +And I will make the multitude of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall be heard no more. + +** Ezekiel 26:14 + +And I will make thee like a naked rock, thou shalt be a drying place for nets, neither shalt thou be built any more: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 26:15 + +Thus saith the Lord God to Tyre: Shall not the islands shake at the sound of thy fall, and the groans of thy slain when they shall be killed in the midst of thee? + +** Ezekiel 26:16 + +Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones: and take off their robes, and cast away their broidered garments, and be clothed with astonishment: they shall sit on the ground, and with amazement shall wonder at thy sudden fall. + +** Ezekiel 26:17 + +And taking up a lamentation over thee, they shall say to thee: How art thou fallen, that dwellest in the sea, renowned city that wast strong in the sea, with thy inhabitants whom all did dread? + +** Ezekiel 26:18 + +Now shall the ships be astonished in the day of thy terror: and the islands in the sea shall be troubled because no one cometh out of thee. + +** Ezekiel 26:19 + +For thus saith the Lord God: When I shall make thee a desolate city like the cities that are not inhabited: and shall bring the deep upon thee, and many waters shall cover thee: + +** Ezekiel 26:20 + +And when I shall bring thee down with those that descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and shall set thee in the lowest parts of the earth, as places desolate of old, with them that are brought down into the pit, that thou be not inhabited: and when I shall give glory in the land of the living, + +** Ezekiel 26:21 + +I will bring thee to nothing, and thou shalt not be, and if thou be sought for, thou shalt not be found any more for ever, saith the Lord God. + +* Ezekiel 27 + +** Ezekiel 27:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 27:2 + +Thou therefore, O son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre: + +** Ezekiel 27:3 + +And say to Tyre that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, being the mart of the people for many islands: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast said: I am of perfect beauty, + +** Ezekiel 27:4 + +And situate in the heart of the sea. Thy neighbours, that built thee, have perfected thy beauty: + +** Ezekiel 27:5 + +With fir trees of Sanir they have built thee with all sea planks: they have taken cedars from Libanus to make thee masts. + +** Ezekiel 27:6 + +They have cut thy oars out of the oaks of Basan: and they have made thee benches of Indian ivory and cabins with things brought from the islands of Italy. + +** Ezekiel 27:7 + +Fine broidered linen from Egypt was woven for thy sail, to be spread on thy mast: blue and purple from the islands of Elisa, were made thy covering. + +** Ezekiel 27:8 + +The inhabitants of Sidon, and the Arabians were thy rowers: thy wise men, O Tyre, were thy pilots. + +** Ezekiel 27:9 + +The ancients of Gebal, and the wise men thereof furnished mariners for the service of thy various furniture: all the ships of the sea, and their mariners were thy factors. + +** Ezekiel 27:10 + +The Persians, and Lydians, and the Libyans were thy soldiers in thy army: they hung up the buckler and the helmet in thee for thy ornament. + +** Ezekiel 27:11 + +The men of Arad were with thy army upon thy walls round about: the Pygmeans also that were in thy towers, hung up their quivers on thy walls round about: they perfected thy beauty. + +** Ezekiel 27:12 + +The Carthaginians thy merchants supplied thy fairs with a multitude of all kinds of riches, with silver, iron, tin, and lead, + +** Ezekiel 27:13 + +Greece, Thubal, and Mosoch, they were thy merchants, they brought to thy people slaves and vessels of brass. + +** Ezekiel 27:14 + +From the house of Thogorma they brought horses, and horsemen, and mules to thy market. + +** Ezekiel 27:15 + +The men of Dedan were thy merchants: many islands were the traffic of thy hand, they exchanged for thy price teeth of ivory and ebony. + +** Ezekiel 27:16 + +The Syrian was thy merchant: by reason of the multitude of thy works, they set forth precious stories, and purple, and broidered works, and fine linen, and silk, and chodchod in thy market. + +** Ezekiel 27:17 + +Juda and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants with the best corn: they set forth balm, and honey, and oil and rosin in thy fairs. + +** Ezekiel 27:18 + +The men of Damascus were thy merchants in the multitude of thy works, the multitude of divers riches, in rich wine, in wool of the best colour. + +** Ezekiel 27:19 + +Dan, and Greece, and Mosel have set forth in thy marts wrought iron: stacte, and calamus were in thy market. + +** Ezekiel 27:20 + +The men of Dedan were thy merchants in tapestry for seats. + +** Ezekiel 27:21 + +Arabia, and all the princes of Cedar, they were the merchants of thy hand: thy merchants came to thee with lambs, and rams, and kids. + +** Ezekiel 27:22 + +The sellers of Saba, and Reema, they were thy merchants: with all the best spices, and precious stones, and gold, which they set forth in thy market. + +** Ezekiel 27:23 + +Haran, and Chene, and Eden were thy merchants; Saba, Assur, and Chelmad sold to thee. + +** Ezekiel 27:24 + +They were thy merchants in divers manners, with bales of blue cloth, and of embroidered work, and of precious riches, which were wrapped up and bound with cords: they had cedars also in thy merchandise. + +** Ezekiel 27:25 + +The ships of the sea, were thy chief in thy merchandise: and thou wast replenished, and glorified exceedingly in the heart of the sea. + +** Ezekiel 27:26 + +Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind hath broken thee in the heart of the sea. + +** Ezekiel 27:27 + +Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin. + +** Ezekiel 27:28 + +Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. + +** Ezekiel 27:29 + +And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land: + +** Ezekiel 27:30 + +And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads and shall be sprinkled with ashes. + +** Ezekiel 27:31 + +And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping. + +** Ezekiel 27:32 + +And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and shall lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea? + +** Ezekiel 27:33 + +Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth. + +** Ezekiel 27:34 + +Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen. + +** Ezekiel 27:35 + +All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at thee: and all their kings being struck with the storm have changed their countenance. + +** Ezekiel 27:36 + +The merchants of people have hissed at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more. + +* Ezekiel 28 + +** Ezekiel 28:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 28:2 + +Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am God, and I sit in the chair of God in the heart of the sea: whereas thou art a man, and not God: and hast set thy heart as if it were the heart of God. + +** Ezekiel 28:3 + +Behold thou art wiser than Daniel: no secret is hid from thee. + +** Ezekiel 28:4 + +In thy wisdom and thy understanding thou hast made thyself strong: and hast gotten gold an silver into thy treasures. + +** Ezekiel 28:5 + +By the greatness of thy wisdom, and by thy traffic thou hast increased thy strength: and thy heart is lifted up with thy strength. + +** Ezekiel 28:6 + +Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up as the heart of God: + +** Ezekiel 28:7 + +Therefore behold, I will bring upon thee strangers: the strongest of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy beauty. + +** Ezekiel 28:8 + +They shall kill thee, and bring thee down: and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the heart of the sea. + +** Ezekiel 28:9 + +Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee? + +** Ezekiel 28:10 + +Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 28:11 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre: + +** Ezekiel 28:12 + +And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. + +** Ezekiel 28:13 + +Thou wast in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the jasper, the chrysolite, and the onyx, and the beryl, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of thy beauty: and thy pipes were prepared in the day that thou wast created. + +** Ezekiel 28:14 + +Thou a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked in the midst of the stones of fire. + +** Ezekiel 28:15 + +Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee. + +** Ezekiel 28:16 + +By the multitude of thy merchandise, thy inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou hast sinned: and I cast thee out from the mountain of God, and destroyed thee, O covering cherub, out of the midst of the stones of fire. + +** Ezekiel 28:17 + +And thy heart was lifted up with thy beauty: thou hast lost thy wisdom in thy beauty, I have cast thee to the ground: I have set thee before the face of kings, that they might behold thee. + +** Ezekiel 28:18 + +Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities, and by the iniquity of thy traffic: therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, to devour thee, and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth in the sight of all that see thee. + +** Ezekiel 28:19 + +All that shall see thee among the nations, shall be astonished at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more. + +** Ezekiel 28:20 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 28:21 + +Son of man, set thy face against Sidon: and thou shalt prophesy of it, + +** Ezekiel 28:22 + +And shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall execute judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. + +** Ezekiel 28:23 + +And I will send into her pestilence, and blood in her streets: and they shall fall being slain by the sword on all sides in the midst thereof: and they shall know that I am the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 28:24 + +And the house of Israel shall have no more a stumblingblock of bitterness, nor a thorn causing pain on every side round about them, of them that are against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 28:25 + +Thus saith the Lord God: When I shall have gathered together the house of Israel out of the people among whom they are scattered: I will be sanctified in them before the Gentiles: and they shall dwell in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. + +** Ezekiel 28:26 + +And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell with confidence, when I shall have executed judgments upon all that are their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord their God. + +* Ezekiel 29 + +** Ezekiel 29:1 + +In the tenth year, the tenth month, the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 29:2 + +Son of man, set thy face against Pharao king of Egypt: and thou shalt prophesy of him, and of all Egypt: + +** Ezekiel 29:3 + +Speak, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, Pharao king of Egypt, thou great dragon that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest: The river is mine, and I made myself. + +** Ezekiel 29:4 + +But I will put a bridle in thy jaws: and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales: and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all thy fish shall stick to thy scales. + +** Ezekiel 29:5 + +And I will cast thee forth into the desert, and all the fish of thy river: thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth, thou shalt not be taken up, nor gathered together: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth, and to the fowls of the air. + +** Ezekiel 29:6 + +And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord: because thou hast been a staff of a reed to the house of Israel. + +** Ezekiel 29:7 + +When they took hold of thee with the hand thou didst break, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brokest, and weakenest all their loins. + +** Ezekiel 29:8 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will bring the sword upon thee: and cut off man and beast out of thee. + +** Ezekiel 29:9 + +And the land of Egypt shall become a desert, and a wilderness: and they shall know that I am the Lord, because thou hast said: The river is mine, and I made it. + +** Ezekiel 29:10 + +Therefore, behold I come against thee, and thy rivers: and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate, and wasted by the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Ethiopia. + +** Ezekiel 29:11 + +The foot of man shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beasts go through it: nor shall it be inhabited during forty years. + +** Ezekiel 29:12 + +And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof in the midst of the cites that are destroyed, and they shall be desolate for forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. + +** Ezekiel 29:13 + +For thus saith the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they had been scattered. + +** Ezekiel 29:14 + +And I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will place them in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall be there a low kingdom: + +** Ezekiel 29:15 + +It shall be the lowest among other kingdoms, and it shall no more be exalted over the nations, and I will diminish them that they shall rule no more over the nations. + +** Ezekiel 29:16 + +And they shall be no more a confidence to the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, that they may flee, and follow them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 29:17 + +And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year in the first month, in the first of the month: that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 29:18 + +Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it. + +** Ezekiel 29:19 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army. + +** Ezekiel 29:20 + +And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 29:21 + +In that day a horn shall bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I am the Lord. + +* Ezekiel 30 + +** Ezekiel 30:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 30:2 + +Son of man prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Howl ye, Woe, woe to the day: + +** Ezekiel 30:3 + +For the day is near, yea the day of the Lord is near: a cloudy day, it shall be the time of the nations. + +** Ezekiel 30:4 + +And the sword shall come upon Egypt: and there shall be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded shall fall in Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be taken away, and the foundations thereof shall be destroyed. + +** Ezekiel 30:5 + +Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the crowd, and Chub, and the children of the land of the covenant, shall fall with them by the sword. + +** Ezekiel 30:6 + +Thus saith the Lord God: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her empire shall be brought down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord the God of hosts. + +** Ezekiel 30:7 + +And they shall be desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. + +** Ezekiel 30:8 + +And they shall know that I am the Lord: when I shall have set a fire in Egypt, and all the helpers thereof shall be destroyed. + +** Ezekiel 30:9 + +In that day shall messengers go forth from my face in ships to destroy the confidence of Ethiopia, and there shall be dread among them in the day of Egypt: because it shall certainly come. + +** Ezekiel 30:10 + +Thus saith the Lord God: I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon. + +** Ezekiel 30:11 + +He and his people with him, the strongest of nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords upon Egypt: and shall fill the land with the slain. + +** Ezekiel 30:12 + +And I will make the channels of the rivers dry, and will deliver the land into the hand of the wicked: and will lay waste the land and all that is therein by the hands of strangers, I the Lord have spoken it. + +** Ezekiel 30:13 + +Thus saith the Lord God: I will also destroy the idols, and I will make an end of the idols of Memphis: and there shall: be no more a prince of the land of Egypt and I will cause a terror in the land of Egypt. + +** Ezekiel 30:14 + +And I will destroy the land of Phatures, and will make a fire in Taphnis, and will execute judgments in Alexandria. + +** Ezekiel 30:15 + +And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium the strength of Egypt, and will cut off the multitude of Alexandria. + +** Ezekiel 30:16 + +And I will make a fire in Egypt:

+Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness? + +** Ezekiel 31:3 + +Behold, the Assyrian like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs. + +** Ezekiel 31:4 + +The waters nourished him, the deep set him tip on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent, forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country. + +** Ezekiel 31:5 + +Therefore was his height exalted above all the trees of the country and his branches were multiplied, and his boughs were elevated because of many waters. + +** Ezekiel 31:6 + +And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow. + +** Ezekiel 31:7 + +And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters. + +** Ezekiel 31:8 + +The cedars in the paradise of God were not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty. + +** Ezekiel 31:9 + +For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him. + +** Ezekiel 31:10 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height: + +** Ezekiel 31:11 + +I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness. + +**

go down into the pit. + +** Ezekiel 31:15 + +Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. + +** Ezekiel 31:16 + +I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth. + +** Ezekiel 31:17 + +For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword; and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. + +** Ezekiel 31:18 + +To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure?

hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 36:16 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 36:17 + +Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. + +** Ezekiel 36:18 + +And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it. + +** Ezekiel 36:19 + +And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices. + +** Ezekiel 36:20 + +And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land. + +** Ezekiel 36:21 + +And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in. + +** Ezekiel 36:22 + +Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went. + +** Ezekiel 36:23 + +And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. + +** Ezekiel 36:24 + +For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. + +** Ezekiel 36:25 + +And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols. + +** Ezekiel 36:26 + +And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh. + +** Ezekiel 36:27 + +And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them. + +** Ezekiel 36:28 + +And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. + +** Ezekiel 36:29 + +And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you. + +** Ezekiel 36:30 + +And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations. + +** Ezekiel 36:31 + +And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you. + +** Ezekiel 36:32 + +It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel. + +** Ezekiel 36:33 + +Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places, + +** Ezekiel 36:34 + +And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by, + +** Ezekiel 36:35 + +They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced. + +** Ezekiel 36:36 + +And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it. + +** Ezekiel 36:37 + +Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men, + +** Ezekiel 36:38 + +As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord. + +* Ezekiel 37 + +** Ezekiel 37:1 + +The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was full of bones. + +** Ezekiel 37:2 + +And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry. + +** Ezekiel 37:3 + +And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall live and I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest. + +** Ezekiel 37:4 + +And he said to me: Prophesy concerning these bones; and say to them: Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 37:5 + +Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live. + +** Ezekiel 37:6 + +And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 37:7 + +And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each one, its joint. + +** Ezekiel 37:8 + +And I saw, and behold the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them: and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in them. + +** Ezekiel 37:9 + +And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, O son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again. + +** Ezekiel 37:10 + +And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. + +** Ezekiel 37:11 + +And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off. + +** Ezekiel 37:12 + +Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres, O my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel. + +** Ezekiel 37:13 + +And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O my people: + +** Ezekiel 37:14 + +And shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken, and done it, saith the Lord God: + +** Ezekiel 37:15 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 37:16 + +And thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, and of his associates. + +** Ezekiel 37:17 + +And join them one to the other into one stick, and they shall become one in thy hand. + +** Ezekiel 37:18 + +And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying: Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by this? + +** Ezekiel 37:19 + +Say to 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 that are associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall be one in his hand. + +** Ezekiel 37:20 + +And the sticks whereon thou hast written, shall be in thy hand, before their eyes. + +** Ezekiel 37:21 + +And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take of the children of Israel from the midst of the nations whither they are gone: and I will gather them on every side, and will bring them to their own land. + +** Ezekiel 37:22 + +And I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king over them all: and they shall no more be two nations, neither shall they be divided any more into two kingdoms. + +** Ezekiel 37:23 + +Nor shall they be defiled any more with their idols, nor with their abominations, nor with all their iniquities: and I will save them out of all the places in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. + +** Ezekiel 37:24 + +And my servant David shall be king over them, and they shall have one shepherd: they shall walk in my judgments, and shall keep my commandments, and shall do them. + +** Ezekiel 37:25 + +And they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever. + +** Ezekiel 37:26 + +And I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will establish them, and will multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever. + +** Ezekiel 37:27 + +And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. + +** Ezekiel 37:28 + +And the nations shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever. + +* Ezekiel 38 + +** Ezekiel 38:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Ezekiel 38:2 + +Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal: and prophesy of him, + +** Ezekiel 38:3 + +And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal. + +** Ezekiel 38:4 + +And I will turn thee about, and I will put a bit in thy jaws: and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen all clothed with coats of mail, a great multitude, armed with spears and shields and swords. + +** Ezekiel 38:5 + +The Persians, Ethiopians, and Libyans with them, all with shields and helmets. + +** Ezekiel 38:6 + +Gomer, and all his bands, the house of Thogorma, the northern parts and all his strength, and many peoples with thee. + +** Ezekiel 38:7 + +Prepare and make thyself ready, and all thy multitude that is assembled about thee, and be thou commander over them. + +** Ezekiel 38:8 + +After many days thou shalt be visited: at the end of years thou shalt come to the land that is returned from the sword, and is gathered out of many nations, to the mountains of Israel which have been continually waste: but it hath been brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all of them dwell securely in it. + +** Ezekiel 38:9 + +And thou shalt go up and come like a storm, and like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all thy bands and many people with thee. + +** Ezekiel 38:10 + +Thus saith the Lord God: In that day projects shall enter into thy heart, and thou shalt conceive a mischievous design. + +** Ezekiel 38:11 + +And thou shalt say: I will go up to the land which is without a wall, I will come to them that are at rest, and dwell securely: all these dwell without a wall, they have no bars nor gates: + +** Ezekiel 38:12 + +To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people that is gathered together out of the nations, which hath begun to possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth. + +** Ezekiel 38:13 + +Saba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tharsis, and all the lions thereof shall say to thee: Art thou come to take spoils? behold, thou hast gathered thy multitude to take a prey, to take silver, and gold, and to carry away goods and substance, and to take rich spoils. + +** Ezekiel 38:14 + +Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: Thus saith the Lord God: Shalt thou not know, in that day, when my people of Israel shall dwell securely? + +** Ezekiel 38:15 + +And thou shalt come out of thy place from the northern parts, thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army. + +** Ezekiel 38:16 + +And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud, to cover the earth. Thou shalt be in the latter days, and I will bring thee upon my land: that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. + +** Ezekiel 38:17 + +Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them. + +** Ezekiel 38:18 + +And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day of the coming of Gog upon the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my indignation shall come up in my wrath. + +** Ezekiel 38:19 + +And I have spoken in my zeal, and in the fire of my anger, that in that day there shall be a great commotion upon the land of Israel: + +** Ezekiel 38:20 + +So that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all men that are upon the face of the earth, shall be moved at my presence: and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the hedges shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. + +** Ezekiel 38:21 + +And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be pointed against his brother. + +** Ezekiel 38:22 + +And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with violent rain, and vast hailstones: I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him. + +** Ezekiel 38:23 + +And I will be magnified, and I will be sanctified: and I will be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I am the Lord. + +* Ezekiel 39 + +** Ezekiel 39:1 + +And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal. + +** Ezekiel 39:2 + +And I will turn thee round, and I will lead thee out, and will make thee go up from the northern parts: and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel. + +** Ezekiel 39:3 + +And I will break thy bow in thy left hand, and I will cause thy arrows to fall out of thy right hand. + +** Ezekiel 39:4 + +Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy bands, and thy nations that are with thee: I have given thee to the wild beasts, to the birds, and to every fowl, and to the beasts of the earth to be devoured. + +** Ezekiel 39:5 + +Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 39:6 + +And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord. + +** Ezekiel 39:7 + +And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and my holy name shall be profaned no more: and the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. + +** Ezekiel 39:8 + +Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the day whereof I have spoken. + +** Ezekiel 39:9 + +And the inhabitants shall go forth of the cities of Israel, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields, and the spears, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves and the pikes: and they shall burn them with fire seven years. + +** Ezekiel 39:10 + +And they shall not bring wood out of the countries, nor cut down out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and shall make a prey of them to whom they had been a prey, and they shall rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 39:11 + +And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog. + +** Ezekiel 39:12 + +And the house of Israel shall bury them for seven months to cleanse the land. + +** Ezekiel 39:13 + +And all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 39:14 + +And they shall appoint men to go continually about the land, to bury and to seek out them that were remaining upon the face of the earth, that they may cleanse it: and after seven months they shall begin to seek. + +** Ezekiel 39:15 + +And they shall go about passing through the land: and when they shall see the bone of a man, they shall set up sign by it, till the buriers bury it in the valley, of the multitude of Gog. + +** Ezekiel 39:16 + +And the name of the city shall be Amona, and they shall cleanse the land. + +** Ezekiel 39:17 + +And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood. + +** Ezekiel 39:18 + +You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat. + +** Ezekiel 39:19 + +And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you. + +** Ezekiel 39:20 + +And you shall be filled at my table with horses, and mighty horsemen, and all the men of war, saith the Lord God. + +** Ezekiel 39:21 + +And I will set my glory among the nations: and all nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. + +** Ezekiel 39:22 + +And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward. + +** Ezekiel 39:23 + +And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword. + +** Ezekiel 39:24 + +I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them. + +** Ezekiel 39:25 + +Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and will have mercy on all the house of Israel and I will be jealous for my holy name. + +** Ezekiel 39:26 + +And they shall bear their confusion, and all the transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against me, when they shall dwell in their land securely fearing no man: + +** Ezekiel 39:27 + +And I shall have brought them back from among the nations, and shall have gathered them together out of the lands of their enemies, and shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations. + +** Ezekiel 39:28 + +And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I caused them to be carried away among the nations; and I have gathered them together unto their own land, and have not left any of them there. + +** Ezekiel 39:29 + +And I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God. + +* Ezekiel 40 + +** Ezekiel 40:1 + +In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither. + +** Ezekiel 40:2 + +In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards the south. + +** Ezekiel 40:3 + +And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate. + +** Ezekiel 40:4 + +And this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house of Israel. + +** Ezekiel 40:5 + +And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed. + +** Ezekiel 40:6 + +And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad; + +** Ezekiel 40:7 + +And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad: and between the little chambers were five cubits: + +** Ezekiel 40:8 + +And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within, was one reed. + +**

sides: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side and that side. + +** Ezekiel 40:13 + +And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door. + +** Ezekiel 40:14 + +He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about. + +** Ezekiel 40:15 + +And before the face of the gate which reached even to the face of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits. + +** Ezekiel 40:16 + +And slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were

and the rest of their counsellors, the Dinites, and the Apharsathacites, the Therphalites, the Apharsites, the Erchuites, the Babylonians, the Susanechites, the Dievites, and the Elamites, + +** Ezra 4:10 + +And the rest of the nations, whom the great and glorious Asenaphar brought over: and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria and in the rest of the countries of this side of the river in peace. + +** Ezra 4:11 + +(This is the copy of the letter, which they sent to him:) To Artaxerxes the king, thy servants, the men that are on this side of the river, send greeting. + +** Ezra 4:12 + +Be it known to the king, that the Jews, who came up from thee to us, are come to Jerusalem a rebellious and wicked city, which they are building, setting up the ramparts thereof and repairing the walls. + +** Ezra 4:13 + +And now be it known to the king, that if this city be built up, and the walls thereof repaired, they will not pay tribute nor toll, nor yearly revenues, and this loss will fall upon the kings. + +** Ezra 4:14 + +But we remembering the salt that we have eaten in the palace, and because we count it a crime to see the king wronged, have therefore sent and certified the king, + +** Ezra 4:15 + +That search may be made in the books of the histories of thy fathers, and thou shalt find written in the records: and shalt know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to the kings and provinces, and that wars were raised therein of old time: for which cause also the city was destroyed. + +** Ezra 4:16 + +We certify the king, that if this city be built, and the walls thereof repaired, thou shalt have no possession on this side of the river. + +** Ezra 4:17 + +The king sent word to Reum Beelteem and Samsai the scribe, and to the rest that were in their council, inhabitants of Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, sending greeting and peace. + +** Ezra 4:18 + +The accusation, which you have sent to us, hath been plainly read before me, + +** Ezra 4:19 + +And I commanded: and search hath been made, and it is found, that this city of old time hath rebelled against kings, and seditions and wars have been raised therein. + +** Ezra 4:20 + +For there have been powerful kings in Jerusalem, who have had dominion over all the country that is beyond the river: and have received tribute, and toll and revenues. + +** Ezra 4:21 + +Now therefore hear the sentence: Hinder those men, that this city be not built, till further orders be given by me. + +** Ezra 4:22 + +See that you be not negligent in executing this, lest by little and little the evil grow to the hurt of the kings. + +** Ezra 4:23 + +Now the copy of the edict of king Artaxerxes was read before Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe, and their counsellors: and they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and hindered them with arm and power. + +** Ezra 4:24 + +Then the work of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem was interrupted, and ceased till the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians. + +* Ezra 5 + +** Ezra 5:1 + +Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel. + +** Ezra 5:2 + +Then rose up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and began to build the temple of God in Jerusalem, and with them were the prophets of God helping them. + +** Ezra 5:3 + +And at the same time came to them Thathanai, who was governor beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and their counsellors: and said thus to them: Who hath given you counsel to build this house, and to repair the walls thereof? + +** Ezra 5:4 + +In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building. + +** Ezra 5:5 + +But the eye of their God was upon the ancients of the Jews, and they could not hinder them. And it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Darius, and then they should give satisfaction concerning that accusation. + +** Ezra 5:6 + +The copy of the letter that Thathanai governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors the Arphasachites, who dwelt beyond the river, sent to Darius the king. + +** Ezra 5:7 + +The letter which they sent him, was written thus: To Darius the king all peace. + +** Ezra 5:8 + +Be it known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently and advanceth in their hands. + +** Ezra 5:9 + +And we asked those ancients, and said to them thus: Who hath given you authority to build this house, and to repair these walls? + +** Ezra 5:10 + +We asked also of them their names, that we might give thee notice: and we have written the names of the men that are the chief among them. + +** Ezra 5:11 + +And they answered us in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up. + +** Ezra 5:12 + +But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people to Babylon. + +** Ezra 5:13 + +But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus set forth a decree, that this house of God should be built. + +** Ezra 5:14 + +And the vessels also of gold and silver of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and had brought them to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sassabasar, whom also he appointed governor, + +** Ezra 5:15 + +And said to him: Take these vessels, and go, and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place. + +** Ezra 5:16 + +Then came this same Sassabasar, and laid the foundations of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it is in building, and is not yet finished. + +** Ezra 5:17 + +Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king's library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter. + +* Ezra 6 + +** Ezra 6:1 + +Then king Darius gave orders, and they searched in the library of the books that were laid up in Babylon, + +** Ezra 6:2 + +And there was found in Ecbatana, which is a castle in the province of Media, a book in which this record was written. + +** Ezra 6:3 + +In the first year of Cyrus the king: Cyrus the king decreed, that the house of God should be built, which is in Jerusalem, in the place where they may offer sacrifices, and that they lay the foundations that may support the height of threescore cubits, and the breadth of threescore cubits, + +** Ezra 6:4 + +Three rows of unpolished stones, and so rows of new timber: and the charges shall be given out of the king's house. + +** Ezra 6:5 + +And also let the golden and silver vessels of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor took out of the temple of Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and carried back to the temple of Jerusalem to their place, which also were placed in the temple of God. + +** Ezra 6:6 + +Now therefore Thathanai, governor of the country beyond the river, Stharbuzanai, and your counsellors the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, depart far from them, + +** Ezra 6:7 + +And let that temple of God be built by the governor of the Jews, and by their ancients, that they may build that house of God in its place. + +** Ezra 6:8 + +I also have commanded what must be done by those ancients of the Jews, that the house of God may be built, to wit, that of the king's chest, that is, of the tribute that is paid out of the country beyond the river, the charges be diligently given to those men, lest the work be hindered. + +** Ezra 6:9 + +And if it shall be necessary, let calves also, and lambs, and kids, for holocausts to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the custom of the priests that are in Jerusalem, be given them day by day, that there be no complaint in any thing. + +** Ezra 6:10 + +And let them offer oblations to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his children. + +** Ezra 6:11 + +And I have made a decree: That if any whosoever, shall alter this commandment, a beam be taken from his house, and set up, and he be nailed upon it, and his house be confiscated. + +** Ezra 6:12 + +And may the God, that hath caused his name to dwell there, destroy all kingdoms, and the people that shall put out their hand to resist, and to destroy the house of God, that is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made the decree, which I will have diligently complied with. + +** Ezra 6:13 + +So then Thathanai, governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors diligently executed what Darius the king had commanded. + +** Ezra 6:14 + +And the ancients of the Jews built, and prospered according to the prophecy of Aggeus the prophet, and of Zacharias the son of Addo: and they built and finished, by the commandment of the God of Israel, and by the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes kings of the Persians. + +** Ezra 6:15 + +And they were finishing this house of God, until the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius. + +** Ezra 6:16 + +And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity kept the dedication of the house of God with joy. + +** Ezra 6:17 + +And they offered at the dedication of the house of God, a hundred calves, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and for a sin offering for all Israel twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. + +** Ezra 6:18 + +And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses over the works of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses. + +** Ezra 6:19 + +And the children of Israel of the captivity kept the phase, on the fourteenth day of the first month. + +** Ezra 6:20 + +For all the priests and the Levites were purified as one man: all were clean to kill the phase for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and themselves. + +** Ezra 6:21 + +And the children of Israel that were returned from captivity, and all that had separated themselves from the filthiness of the nations of the earth to them, to seek the Lord the God of Israel, did eat. + +** Ezra 6:22 + +And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy, for the Lord had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, that he should help their hands in the work of the house of the Lord the God of Israel. + +* Ezra 7 + +** Ezra 7:1 + +Now after these things in the reign of Artaxerxes king of the Persians, Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of Helcias, + +** Ezra 7:2 + +The son of Sellum, the son of Sadoc, the son of Achitob, + +** Ezra 7:3 + +The son of Amarias, the son of Azarias, the son of Maraioth, + +** Ezra 7:4 + +The son of Zarahias, the son of Ozi, the son of Bocci, + +** Ezra 7:5 + +The son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest from the beginning. + +** Ezra 7:6 + +This Esdras went up from Babylon, and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the Lord God had given to Israel: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him. + +** Ezra 7:7 + +And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the children of the priests, and of the children of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and of the Nathinites to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. + +** Ezra 7:8 + +And they came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king. + +** Ezra 7:9 + +For upon the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem according to the good hand of his God upon him. + +** Ezra 7:10 + +For Esdras had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do and to teach in Israel the commandments and judgment. + +** Ezra 7:11 + +And this is the copy of the letter of the edict, which king Artaxerxes gave to Esdras the priest, the scribe instructed in the words and commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies in Israel. + +** Ezra 7:12 + +Artaxerxes king of kings to Esdras the priest, the most learned scribe of the law of the God of heaven, greeting. + +** Ezra 7:13 + +It is decreed by me, that all they of the people of Israel, and of the priests and of the Levites in my realm, that are minded to go into Jerusalem, should go with thee. + +** Ezra 7:14 + +For thou art sent from before the king, and his seven counsellors, to visit Judea and Jerusalem according to the law of thy God, which is in thy hand. + +** Ezra 7:15 + +And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose tabernacle is in Jerusalem. + +** Ezra 7:16 + +And all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, and that the people is willing to offer, and that the priests shall offer of their own accord to the house of their God, which is in Jerusalem, + +** Ezra 7:17 + +Take freely, and buy diligently with this money, calves, rams, lambs, with the sacrifices and libations of them, and offer them upon the altar of the temple of your God, that is in Jerusalem. + +** Ezra 7:18 + +And if it seem good to thee, and to thy brethren to do any thing with the rest of the silver and gold, do it according to the will of your God. + +** Ezra 7:19 + +The vessels also, that are given thee for the sacrifice of the house of thy God, deliver thou in the sight of God in Jerusalem. + +** Ezra 7:20 + +And whatsoever more there shall be need of for the house of thy God, how much soever thou shalt have occasion to spend, it shall be given out of the treasury, and the king's exchequer, and by me. + +** Ezra 7:21 + +I Artaxerxes the king have ordered and decreed to all the keepers of the public chest, that are beyond the river, that whatsoever Esdras the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, you give it without delay, + +** Ezra 7:22 + +Unto a hundred talents of silver, and unto a hundred cores of wheat, and unto a hundred bates of wine, and unto a hundred bates of oil, and salt without measure. + +** Ezra 7:23 + +All that belongeth to the rites of the God of heaven, let it be given diligently in the house of the God of heaven: lest his wrath should be enkindled against the realm of the king, and of his sons. + +** Ezra 7:24 + +We give you also to understand concerning all the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nathinites, and ministers of the house of this God, that you have no authority to impose toll or tribute, or custom upon them. + +** Ezra 7:25 + +And thou Esdras according to the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, that may judge all the people, that is beyond the river, that is, for them who know the law of thy God, yea and the ignorant teach ye freely. + +** Ezra 7:26 + +And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king diligently, judgment shall be executed upon him, either unto death, or unto banishment, or to the confiscation of goods, or at least to prison. + +** Ezra 7:27 + +Blessed be the Lord the God of our fathers, who hath put this in the king's heart, to glorify the house of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem, + +** Ezra 7:28 + +And hath inclined his mercy toward me before the king and his counsellors, and all the mighty princes of the king: and I being strengthened by the hand of the Lord my God, which was upon me, gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me. + +* Ezra 8 + +** Ezra 8:1 + +Now these are the chief of families, and the genealogy of them, who came up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king. + +** Ezra 8:2 + +Of the sons of Phinees, Gersom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattus. + +** Ezra 8:3 + +Of the sons of Sechenias, the son of Pharos, Zacharias, and with him were numbered a hundred and fifty men. + +** Ezra 8:4 + +Of the sons of Phahath Moab, Eleoenai the son of Zareha, and with him two hundred men. + +** Ezra 8:5 + +Of the sons of Sechenias, the son of Ezechiel, and with him three hundred men. + +** Ezra 8:6 + +Of the sons of Adan, Abed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty men. + +** Ezra 8:7 + +Of the sons of Alam, Isaias the son of Athalias, and with him seventy men. + +** Ezra 8:8 + +Of the sons of Saphatia: Zebodia the son of Michael, and with him eighty men. + +** Ezra 8:9 + +Of the sons of Joab, Obedia the son of Jahiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen men. + +** Ezra 8:10 + +Of the sons of Selomith, the son of Josphia, and with him a hundred and sixty men. + +** Ezra 8:11 + +Of the sons of Bebai, Zacharias the son of Bebai: and with him eight and twenty men. + +** Ezra 8:12 + +Of the sons of Azgad, Joanan the son of Eccetan, and with him a hundred and ten men. + +** Ezra 8:13 + +Of the sons of Adonicam, who were the last: and these are their names: Eliphelet, and Jehiel, and Samaias, and with them sixty men. + +** Ezra 8:14 + +Of the sons of Begui, Uthai and Zachur, and with them seventy men. + +** Ezra 8:15 + +And I gathered them together to the river, which runneth down to Ahava, and we stayed there three days: and I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and found none there. + +** Ezra 8:16 + +So I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Semeias, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zacharias, and Mosollam, chief men: and Joiarib, and Elnathan, wise men. + +** Ezra 8:17 + +And I sent them to Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers of the house of our God. + +** Ezra 8:18 + +And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a most learned man of the sons of Moholi the son of Levi the son of Israel, and Sarabias and his sons, and his brethren eighteen, + +** Ezra 8:19 + +And Hasabias, and with him Isaias of the sons of Merari, and his brethren, and his sons twenty. + +** Ezra 8:20 + +And of the Nathinites, whom David, and the princes gave for the service of the Levites, Nathinites two hundred and twenty: all these were called by their names. + +** Ezra 8:21 + +And I proclaimed there a fast by the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before the Lord our God, and might ask of him a right way for us and for our children, and for all our substance. + +** Ezra 8:22 + +For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him. + +** Ezra 8:23 + +And we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us. + +** Ezra 8:24 + +And I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren, + +** Ezra 8:25 + +And I weighed unto them the silver and gold, and the vessels consecrated for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel, that were found had offered. + +** Ezra 8:26 + +And I weighed to their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred vessels of silver, and a hundred talents of gold, + +** Ezra 8:27 + +And twenty cups of gold, of a thousand solids, and two vessels of the best shining brass, beautiful as gold. + +** Ezra 8:28 + +And I said to them: You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and gold, that is freely offered to the Lord the God of our fathers. + +** Ezra 8:29 + +Watch ye and keep them, till you deliver them by weight before the chief of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure of the house of the Lord. + +** Ezra 8:30 + +And the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold, and the vessels, to carry them to Jerusalem to the house of our God. + +** Ezra 8:31 + +Then we set forward from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way. + +** Ezra 8:32 + +And we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there three days. + +** Ezra 8:33 + +And on the fourth day the silver and the gold, and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Urias the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Josue, and Noadaia the son of Benoi, Levites. + +** Ezra 8:34 + +According to the number and weight of everything: and all the weight was written at that time. + +** Ezra 8:35 + +Moreover the children of them that had been carried away that were come out of the captivity, offered holocausts to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he goats for sin: all for a holocaust to the Lord. + +** Ezra 8:36 + +And they gave the king's edicts to the lords that were from the king's court, and the governors beyond the river, and they furthered the people and the house of God. + +* Ezra 9 + +** Ezra 9:1 + +And after these things were accomplished, the princes came to me, saying: The people of Israel, and the priests and Levites have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, and from their abominations, namely, of the Chanaanites, and the Hethites, and the Pherezites, and the Jebusites, and the Ammonites, and the Moabites, and the Egyptians, and the Amorrhites. + +** Ezra 9:2 + +For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and they have mingled the holy seed with the people of the lands. And the hand of the princes and magistrates hath been first in this transgression. + +** Ezra 9:3 + +And when I had heard this word, I rent my mantle and my coat, and plucked off the hairs of my head and my beard, and I sat down mourning. + +** Ezra 9:4 + +And there were assembled to me all that feared the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that were come from the captivity, and I sat sorrowful, until the evening sacrifice. + +** Ezra 9:5 + +And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my affliction, and having rent my mantle and my garment, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord my God, + +** Ezra 9:6 + +And said: My God I am confounded and ashamed to lift up my face to thee: for our iniquities are multiplied over our heads, and our sins are grown up even unto heaven, + +** Ezra 9:7 + +From the days of our fathers: and we ourselves also have sinned grievously unto this day, and for our iniquities we and our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the lands, and to the sword, and to captivity, and to spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is at this day. + +** Ezra 9:8 + +And now as a little, and for a moment has our prayer been made before the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant, and give us a pin in his holy place, and that our God would enlighten our eyes, and would give us a little life in our bondage. + +** Ezra 9:9 + +For we are bondmen, and in our bondage our God hath not forsaken us, but hath extended mercy upon us before the king of the Persians, to give us life, and to set up the house of our God, and to rebuild the desolations thereof, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem. + +** Ezra 9:10 + +And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, + +** Ezra 9:11 + +Which thou hast commanded by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying: The land which you go to possess, is an unclean land, according to the uncleanness of the people, and of other lands, with their abominations, who have filled it from mouth to mouth with their filth. + +** Ezra 9:12 + +Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, and take not their daughters for your sons, and seek not their peace, nor their prosperity for ever: that you may be strengthened, and may eat the good things of the land, and may have your children your heirs for ever. + +** Ezra 9:13 + +And after all that is come upon us, for our most wicked deeds, and our great sin, seeing that thou our God hast saved us from our iniquity, and hast given us a deliverance as at this day, + +** Ezra 9:14 + +That we should not turn away, nor break thy commandments, nor join in marriage with the people of these abominations.

And God saw that it was good. + +** Genesis 1:13 + +And the evening and the morning were the third day. + +** Genesis 1:14 + +And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: + +** Genesis 1:15 + +To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth, and it was so done. + +** Genesis 1:16 + +And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars. + +** Genesis 1:17 + +And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth. + +** Genesis 1:18 + +And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. + +** Genesis 1:19 + +And the evening and morning were the fourth day. + +** Genesis 1:20 + +God also said: let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven. + +** Genesis 1:21 + +And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. + +** Genesis 1:22 + +And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth. + +** Genesis 1:23 + +And the evening and morning were the fifth day. + +** Genesis 1:24 + +And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done. + +** Genesis 1:25 + +And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind.

For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death. + +** Genesis 2:18 + +And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself. + +** Genesis 2:19 + +And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name. + +** Genesis 2:20 + +And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like himself. + +** Genesis 2:21 + +Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it. + +** Genesis 2:22 + +And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam. + +** Genesis 2:23 + +And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. + +** Genesis 2:24 + +Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh. + +** Genesis 2:25 + +And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed. + +* Genesis 3 + +** Genesis 3:1 + +Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made.

And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat. + +** Genesis 3:14 + +And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. + +** Genesis 3:15 + +I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. + +** Genesis 3:16 + +To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee. + +** Genesis 3:17 + +And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee, that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work: with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life. + +** Genesis 3:18 + +Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth. + +** Genesis 3:19 + +In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return. + +** Genesis 3:20 + +And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living. + +** Genesis 3:21 + +And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them. + +** Genesis 3:22 + +And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now therefore lest perhaps he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever. + +** Genesis 3:23 + +And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken. + +** Genesis 3:24 + +And he cast out Adam: and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. + +* Genesis 4 + +** Genesis 4:1 + +And Adam knew Eve his wife; who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God. + +** Genesis 4:2 + +And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman. + +** Genesis 4:3 + +And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord. + +** Genesis 4:4 + +Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings. + +** Genesis 4:5 + +But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceeding angry, and his countenance fell. + +** Genesis 4:6 + +And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen? + +** Genesis 4:7 + +If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it. + +** Genesis 4:8 + +And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him. + +** Genesis 4:9 + +And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered: I know not: am I my brother's keeper? + +** Genesis 4:10 + +And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth. + +** Genesis 4:11 + +Now therefore cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand. + +** Genesis 4:12 + +When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth. + +** Genesis 4:13 + +And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon. + +** Genesis 4:14 + +Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and from thy face I shall be hid, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one therefore that findeth me, shall kill me. + +** Genesis 4:15 + +And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not so be: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him. + +** Genesis 4:16 + +And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth at the east side of Eden. + +** Genesis 4:17 + +And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch. + +** Genesis 4:18 + +And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech, + +** Genesis 4:19 + +Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other Sella. + +** Genesis 4:20 + +And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen. + +** Genesis 4:21 + +And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs. + +** Genesis 4:22 + +Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema. + +** Genesis 4:23 + +And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sella: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising. + +** Genesis 4:24 + +Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold. + +** Genesis 4:25 + +Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed for Abel, whom Cain slew. + +** Genesis 4:26 + +But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos: this man began to call upon the name of the Lord. + +* Genesis 5 + +** Genesis 5:1 + +This is the book of the generation of Adam.

Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth. + +** Genesis 8:12 + +And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him. + +** Genesis 8:13 + +Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried. + +** Genesis 8:14 + +In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried. + +** Genesis 8:15 + +And God spoke to Noe, saying: + +** Genesis 8:16 + +Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons and the wives of thy sons with thee. + +** Genesis 8:17 + +All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it. + +** Genesis 8:18 + +So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him. + +** Genesis 8:19 + +And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds went out of the ark. + +** Genesis 8:20 + +And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar. + +** Genesis 8:21 + +And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man's heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done. + +** Genesis 8:22 + +All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease. + +* Genesis 9 + +** Genesis 9:1 + +And God blessed Noe and his sons.

The sons of Regma: Saba, and Dadan. + +** Genesis 10:8 + +Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth. + +** Genesis 10:9 + +And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord. + +** Genesis 10:10 + +And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar. + +** Genesis 10:11 + +Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale. + +** Genesis 10:12 + +Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city. + +** Genesis 10:13 + +And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim and Laabim, Nephthuim. + +** Genesis 10:14 + +And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim. + +** Genesis 10:15 + +And Chanaan begot Sidon his firstborn, the Hethite, + +** Genesis 10:16 + +And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite. + +** Genesis 10:17 + +The Hevite and Aracite: the Sinite, + +** Genesis 10:18 + +And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad. + +** Genesis 10:19 + +And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa. + +** Genesis 10:20 + +These are the children of Cham in their kindreds and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations. + +** Genesis 10:21 + +Of Sem also the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born. + +** Genesis 10:22 + +The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. + +** Genesis 10:23 + +The sons of Aram: Us, and Hull, and Gether; and Mes. + +** Genesis 10:24 + +But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber. + +** Genesis 10:25 + +And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days was the earth divided: and his brother's name Jectan. + +** Genesis 10:26 + +Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare, + +** Genesis 10:27 + +And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla, + +** Genesis 10:28 + +And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba, + +** Genesis 10:29 + +And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan. + +** Genesis 10:30 + +And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east. + +** Genesis 10:31 + +These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations. + +** Genesis 10:32 + +These are the families of Noe, according to their people and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood. + +* Genesis 11 + +** Genesis 11:1 + +And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech. + +** Genesis 11:2 + +And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it. + +** Genesis 11:3 + +And each one said to his neighbour: Come let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar: + +** Genesis 11:4 + +And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven; and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands. + +** Genesis 11:5 + +And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building. + +** Genesis 11:6 + +And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. + +** Genesis 11:7 + +Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another's speech. + +** Genesis 11:8 + +And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city. + +** Genesis 11:9 + +And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries. + +** Genesis 11:10 + +These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood. + +** Genesis 11:11 + +And Sem lived after he begot Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:12 + +And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Sale. + +** Genesis 11:13 + +And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:14 + +Sale also lived thirty years, and begot Heber. + +** Genesis 11:15 + +And Sale lived after he begot Heber, four hundred and three years: and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:16 + +And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg. + +** Genesis 11:17 + +And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and thirty years: and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:18 + +Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot Reu. + +** Genesis 11:19 + +And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:20 + +And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Sarug. + +** Genesis 11:21 + +And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:22 + +And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot Nachor. + +** Genesis 11:23 + +And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:24 + +And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Thare. + +** Genesis 11:25 + +And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters. + +** Genesis 11:26 + +And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran. + +** Genesis 11:27 + +And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran.

And when they were come into it, + +** Genesis 12:6 + +Abram passed through the country unto the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land. + +** Genesis 12:7 + +And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. + +** Genesis 12:8 + +And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name. + +** Genesis 12:9 + +And Abram went forward, going and proceeding on to the south. + +** Genesis 12:10 + +And there came a famine in the country: and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land. + +** Genesis 12:11 + +And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman: + +** Genesis 12:12 + +And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee. + +** Genesis 12:13 + +Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake. + +** Genesis 12:14 + +And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful. + +** Genesis 12:15 + +And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao. + +** Genesis 12:16 + +And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen and he asses, and men servants, and maid servants, and she asses, and camels. + +** Genesis 12:17 + +But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram's wife. + +** Genesis 12:18 + +And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? + +** Genesis 12:19 + +For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now therefore there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way. + +** Genesis 12:20 + +And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away and his wife, and all that he had. + +* Genesis 13 + +** Genesis 13:1 + +And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him into the south. + +** Genesis 13:2 + +And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver. + +** Genesis 13:3 + +And he returned by the way, that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai, + +** Genesis 13:4 + +In the place of the altar which he had made before, and there he called upon the name of the Lord. + +** Genesis 13:5 + +But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents. + +** Genesis 13:6 + +Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together. + +** Genesis 13:7 + +Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country. + +** Genesis 13:8 + +Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren. + +** Genesis 13:9 + +Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me, I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left. + +** Genesis 13:10 + +And Lot lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor. + +** Genesis 13:11 + +And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other. + +** Genesis 13:12 + +Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan: and Lot abode in the towns, that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom. + +** Genesis 13:13 + +And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord beyond measure. + +** Genesis 13:14 + +And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west. + +** Genesis 13:15 + +All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever. + +** Genesis 13:16 + +And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also. + +** Genesis 13:17 + +Arise and walk through the land in the length, and the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee. + +** Genesis 13:18 + +So Abram removing his tent, came, and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord. + +* Genesis 14 + +** Genesis 14:1 + +And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel, king of Sennaar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor, king of the Elamites, and Thadal, king of nations, + +** Genesis 14:2 + +Made war against Bara, king of Sodom, and against Bersa, king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab, king of Adama, and against Semeber, king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor. + +** Genesis 14:3 + +All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea. + +** Genesis 14:4 + +For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him. + +** Genesis 14:5 + +And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim. + +** Genesis 14:6 + +And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness. + +** Genesis 14:7 + +And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar. + +** Genesis 14:8 + +And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array, in the woodland vale: + +** Genesis 14:9 + +To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five. + +** Genesis 14:10 + +Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs, and were overthrown there: and they that remained, fled to the mountain. + +** Genesis 14:11 + +And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way: + +** Genesis 14:12 + +And Lot also, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance. + +** Genesis 14:13 + +And behold one, that had escaped, told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made a league with Abram. + +** Genesis 14:14 + +Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, well appointed: and pursued them to Dan. + +** Genesis 14:15 + +And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night, and defeated them: and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus. + +** Genesis 14:16 + +And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also, and the people. + +** Genesis 14:17 + +And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king's vale. + +** Genesis 14:18 + +But Melchisedech, the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God, + +** Genesis 14:19 + +Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth. + +** Genesis 14:20 + +And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection, the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all. + +** Genesis 14:21 + +And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself. + +** Genesis 14:22 + +And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth, + +** Genesis 14:23 + +That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say: I have enriched Abram. + +** Genesis 14:24 + +Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares. + +* Genesis 15 + +** Genesis 15:1 + +Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great. + +** Genesis 15:2 + +And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer. + +** Genesis 15:3 + +And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant born in my house, shall be my heir. + +** Genesis 15:4 + +And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying : He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir. + +** Genesis 15:5 + +And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be. + +** Genesis 15:6 + +Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice. + +** Genesis 15:7 + +And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it. + +** Genesis 15:8 + +But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it? + +** Genesis 15:9 + +And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she-goat of three years. and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon. + +** Genesis 15:10 + +And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other: but the birds he divided not. + +** Genesis 15:11 + +And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away. + +** Genesis 15:12 + +And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him. + +** Genesis 15:13 + +And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years. + +** Genesis 15:14 + +But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance. + +** Genesis 15:15 + +And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age. + +** Genesis 15:16 + +But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time. + +** Genesis 15:17 + +And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace, and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions. + +** Genesis 15:18 + +That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river to Egypt even to the great river Euphrates. + +** Genesis 15:19 + +The Cineans, and Cenezites, the Cedmonites, + +** Genesis 15:20 + +And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also, + +** Genesis 15:21 + +And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites. + +* Genesis 16 + +** Genesis 16:1 + +Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children: but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar, + +** Genesis 16:2 + +She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request, + +** Genesis 16:3 + +She took Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife. + +** Genesis 16:4 + +And he went in to her. But she perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress. + +** Genesis 16:5 + +And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee. + +** Genesis 16:6 + +And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away. + +** Genesis 16:7 + +And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert, + +** Genesis 16:8 + +He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress. + +** Genesis 16:9 + +And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand. + +** Genesis 16:10 + +And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude. + +** Genesis 16:11 + +And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. + +** Genesis 16:12 + +He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men's hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren. + +** Genesis 16:13 + +And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily, here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me. + +** Genesis 16:14 + +Therefore she called that well, the well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad. + +** Genesis 16:15 + +And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael. + +** Genesis 16:16 + +Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael. + +* Genesis 17 + +** Genesis 17:1 + +And after he began to be ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to him: and said unto him: I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be perfect. + +** Genesis 17:2 + +And I will make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly. + +** Genesis 17:3 + +Abram fell flat on his face. + +** Genesis 17:4 + +And God said to him: I am, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. + +** Genesis 17:5 + +Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations. + +** Genesis 17:6 + +And I will make thee increase exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. + +** Genesis 17:7 + +And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee. + +** Genesis 17:8 + +And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan, for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God. + +** Genesis 17:9 + +Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations. + +** Genesis 17:10 + +This is my covenant which you shall observe between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male-kind of you shall be circumcised. + +** Genesis 17:11 + +And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you. + +** Genesis 17:12 + +An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every manchild in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant, shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock: + +** Genesis 17:13 + +And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant. + +** Genesis 17:14 + +The male whose flesh of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant. + +** Genesis 17:15 + +God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara. + +** Genesis 17:16 + +And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him. + +** Genesis 17:17 + +Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth? + +** Genesis 17:18 + +And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee. + +** Genesis 17:19 + +And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him. + +** Genesis 17:20 + +And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation. + +** Genesis 17:21 + +But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year. + +** Genesis 17:22 + +And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham. + +** Genesis 17:23 + +And Abraham took Ismael his son, and all that were born in his house: and all whom he had bought, every male among the men of his house: and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin forthwith the very same day, as God had commanded him. + +** Genesis 17:24 + +Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin. + +** Genesis 17:25 + +And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision. + +** Genesis 17:26 + +The self-same day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son. + +** Genesis 17:27 + +And all the men of his house, as well they that were born in his house, as the bought servants and strangers, were circumcised with him. + +* Genesis 18 + +** Genesis 18:1 + +And the Lord appeared to him in the vale of Mambre as he was sitting at the door of his tent, in the very heat of the day. + +** Genesis 18:2 + +And when he had lifted up his eyes, there appeared to him three men standing near to him: and as soon as he saw them, he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and adored down to the ground. + +** Genesis 18:3 + +And he said: Lord, if I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away from thy servant. + +** Genesis 18:4 + +But I will fetch a little water, and wash ye your feet, and rest ye under the tree. + +** Genesis 18:5 + +And I will set a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart, afterwards you shall pass on: for therefore are you come aside to your servant. And they said: Do as thou hast spoken. + +** Genesis 18:6 + +Abraham made haste into the tent to Sara, and said to her: Make haste, temper together three measures of flour, and make cakes upon the hearth. + +** Genesis 18:7 + +And he himself ran to the herd, and took from thence a calf, very tender and very good, and gave it to a young man, who made haste and boiled it. + +** Genesis 18:8 + +He took also butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and set before them: but he stood by them under the tree. + +** Genesis 18:9 + +And when they had eaten, they said to him: Where is Sara thy wife? He answered: Lo she is in the tent. + +** Genesis 18:10 + +And he said to him: I will return and come to thee at this time, life accompanying, and Sara, thy wife, shall have a son. Which when Sara heard, she laughed behind the door of the tent. + +** Genesis 18:11 + +Now they were both old, and far advanced in years, and it had ceased to be with Sara after the manner of women. + +** Genesis 18:12 + +And she laughed secretly, saying: After I am grown old, and my lord is an old man, shall I give myself to pleasure? + +** Genesis 18:13 + +And the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sara laugh, saying: Shall I, who am an old woman, bear a child indeed? + +** Genesis 18:14 + +Is there any thing hard to God? According to appointment I will return to thee at this same time, life accompanying, and Sara shall have a son. + +** Genesis 18:15 + +Sara denied, saying: I did not laugh: for she was afraid. But the Lord said: Nay; but thou didst laugh. + +** Genesis 18:16 + +And when the men rose up from thence, they turned their eyes towards Sodom: and Abraham walked with them, bringing them on the way. + +** Genesis 18:17 + +And the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do: + +** Genesis 18:18 + +Seeing he shall become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed? + +** Genesis 18:19 + +For I know that he will command his children, and his household after him, to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment and justice: that for Abraham's sake, the Lord may bring to effect all the things he hath spoken unto him. + +** Genesis 18:20 + +And the Lord said: The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha is multiplied, and their sin is become exceedingly grievous. + +** Genesis 18:21 + +I will go down and see whether they have done according to the cry that is come to me; or whether it be not so, that I may know. + +** Genesis 18:22 + +And they turned themselves from thence, and went their way to Sodom: but Abraham as yet stood before the Lord. + +** Genesis 18:23 + +And drawing nigh, he said: Wilt thou destroy the just with the wicked? + +** Genesis 18:24 + +If there be fifty just men in the city, shall they perish withal? and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the fifty just, if they be therein? + +** Genesis 18:25 + +Far be it from thee to do this thing, and to slay the just with the wicked, and for the just to be in like case as the wicked; this is not beseeming thee: thou who judgest all the earth, wilt not make this judgment. + +** Genesis 18:26 + +And the Lord said to him: If I find in Sodom fifty just within the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake. + +** Genesis 18:27 + +And Abraham answered, and said: Seeing I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord, whereas I am dust and ashes. + +** Genesis 18:28 + +What if there be five less than fifty just persons? wilt thou for five and forty destroy the whole city: And he said: I will not destroy it, if I find five and forty. + +** Genesis 18:29 + +And again he said to him: But if forty be found there, what wilt thou do? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of forty. + +** Genesis 18:30 + +Lord, saith he, be not angry, I beseech thee, if I speak: What if thirty shall be found there? He answered: I will not do it, if I find thirty there. + +** Genesis 18:31 + +Seeing, saith he, I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord: What if twenty be found there? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty. + +** Genesis 18:32 + +I beseech thee, saith he, be not angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more: What if ten shall be found there? And he said: I will not destroy it for the sake of ten. + +** Genesis 18:33 + +And the Lord departed, after he had left speaking to Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place. + +* Genesis 19 + +** Genesis 19:1 + +And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city. And seeing them, he rose up and went to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the ground. + +** Genesis 19:2 + +And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and lodge there: wash your feet, and in the morning you shall go on your way. And they said: No, but we will abide in the street. + +** Genesis 19:3 + +He pressed them very much to turn in unto him: and when they were come into his house, he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate: + +** Genesis 19:4 + +But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house, both young and old, all the people together. + +** Genesis 19:5 + +And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out hither, that we may know them: + +** Genesis 19:6 + +Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said: + +** Genesis 19:7 + +Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil. + +** Genesis 19:8 + +I have two daughters who, as yet, have not known man; I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof. + +** Genesis 19:9 + +But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a stranger, was it to be a judge? therefore we will afflict thee more than them. And they pressed very violently upon Lot: and they were even at the point of breaking open the doors. + +** Genesis 19:10 + +And behold the men put out their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door. + +** Genesis 19:11 + +And them, that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door. + +** Genesis 19:12 + +And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city: + +** Genesis 19:13 + +For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them. + +** Genesis 19:14 + +So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest. + +** Genesis 19:15 + +And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters that thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city. + +** Genesis 19:16 + +And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him. + +** Genesis 19:17 + +And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thy self in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed. + +** Genesis 19:18 + +And Lot said to them: I beseech thee, my Lord, + +** Genesis 19:19 + +Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die. + +** Genesis 19:20 + +There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live? + +** Genesis 19:21 + +And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken. + +** Genesis 19:22 + +Make haste, and be saved there: because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor. + +** Genesis 19:23 + +The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor. + +** Genesis 19:24 + +And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. + +** Genesis 19:25 + +And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth. + +** Genesis 19:26 + +And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt. + +** Genesis 19:27 + +And Abraham got up early in the morning, and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord: + +** Genesis 19:28 + +He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace. + +** Genesis 19:29 + +Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt. + +** Genesis 19:30 + +And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him (for he was afraid to stay in Segor) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him. + +** Genesis 19:31 + +And the elder said to the younger: Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth. + +** Genesis 19:32 + +Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. + +** Genesis 19:33 + +And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in, and lay with her father: but he perceived not, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up. + +** Genesis 19:34 + +And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father. + +** Genesis 19:35 + +They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up. + +** Genesis 19:36 + +So the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father. + +** Genesis 19:37 + +And the elder bore a son, and she called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites unto this day. + +** Genesis 19:38 + +The younger also bore a son, and she called his name Ammon; that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day. + +* Genesis 20 + +** Genesis 20:1 + +Abraham removed from thence to the south country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara. + +** Genesis 20:2 + +And he said of Sara his wife: She is my sister. So Abimelech the king of Gerara sent, and took her. + +** Genesis 20:3 + +And God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and he said to him: Lo thou shalt die for the woman that thou hast taken: for she hath a husband. + +** Genesis 20:4 + +Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just? + +** Genesis 20:5 + +Did not he say to me: She is my sister: and she say, He is my brother? in the simplicity of my heart, and cleanness of my hands have I done this. + +** Genesis 20:6 + +And God said to him: And I know that thou didst it with a sincere heart: and therefore I withheld thee from sinning against me, and I suffered thee not to touch her. + +** Genesis 20:7 + +Now therefore restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet: and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: but if thou wilt not restore her, know that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine. + +** Genesis 20:8 + +And Abimelech forthwith rising up in the night, called all his servants: and spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were exceedingly afraid. + +** Genesis 20:9 + +And Abimelech called also for Abraham, and said to him: What hast thou done to us? what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done to us what thou oughtest not to do. + +** Genesis 20:10 + +And again he expostulated with him, and said: What sawest thou, that thou hast done this? + +** Genesis 20:11 + +Abraham answered: I thought with myself, saying: Perhaps there is not the fear of God in this place: and they will kill me for the sake of my wife: + +** Genesis 20:12 + +Howbeit, otherwise also she is truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her to wife. + +** Genesis 20:13 + +And after God brought me out of my father's house, I said to her: Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy brother. + +** Genesis 20:14 + +And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gave to Abraham: and restored to him Sara his wife, + +** Genesis 20:15 + +And said: The land is before you, dwell wheresoever it shall please thee. + +** Genesis 20:16 + +And to Sara he said: Behold I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, this shall serve thee for a covering of thy eyes to all that are with thee, and whithersoever thou shalt go: and remember thou wast taken. + +** Genesis 20:17 + +And when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bore children: + +** Genesis 20:18 + +For the Lord had closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech, on account of Sara, Abraham's wife. + +* Genesis 21 + +** Genesis 21:1 + +And the Lord visited Sara, as he had promised: and fulfilled what he had spoken. + +** Genesis 21:2 + +And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her. + +** Genesis 21:3 + +And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac. + +** Genesis 21:4 + +And he circumcised him the eighth day, as God had commanded him, + +** Genesis 21:5 + +When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father, was Isaac born. + +** Genesis 21:6 + +And Sara said: God hath made a laughter for me: whosoever shall hear of it will laugh with me. + +** Genesis 21:7 + +And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age? + +** Genesis 21:8 + +And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning. + +** Genesis 21:9 + +And when Sara had seen the son of Agar, the Egyptian, playing with Isaac, her son, she said to Abraham: + +** Genesis 21:10 + +Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac. + +** Genesis 21:11 + +Abraham took this grievously for his son. + +** Genesis 21:12 + +And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. + +** Genesis 21:13 + +But I will make the son also of the bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed. + +** Genesis 21:14 + +So Abraham rose up in the morning, and taking bread and a bottle of water, put it upon her shoulder, and delivered the boy, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Bersabee. + +** Genesis 21:15 + +And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there. + +** Genesis 21:16 + +And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off, as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept. + +** Genesis 21:17 + +And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is. + +** Genesis 21:18 + +Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand, for I will make him a great nation. + +** Genesis 21:19 + +And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink. + +** Genesis 21:20 + +And God was with him: and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a young man, an archer. + +** Genesis 21:21 + +And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. + +** Genesis 21:22 + +At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army, said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost. + +** Genesis 21:23 + +Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger. + +** Genesis 21:24 + +And Abraham said: I will swear. + +** Genesis 21:25 + +And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force. + +** Genesis 21:26 + +And Abimelech answered: I knew not who did this thing: and thou didst not tell me, and I heard not of it till today. + +** Genesis 21:27 + +Then Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a league. + +** Genesis 21:28 + +And Abraham set apart seven ewelambs of the flock. + +** Genesis 21:29 + +And Abimelech said to him: What mean these seven ewelambs which thou hast set apart? + +** Genesis 21:30 + +But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewelambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well. + +** Genesis 21:31 + +Therefore that place was called Bersabee; because there both of them did swear. + +** Genesis 21:32 + +And they made a league for the well of oath. + +** Genesis 21:33 + +And Abimelech and Phicol, the general of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Palestines. But Abraham planted a grove in Bersabee, and there called upon the name of the Lord God eternal. + +** Genesis 21:34 + +And he was a sojourner in the land of the Palestines many days. + +* Genesis 22 + +** Genesis 22:1 + +After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am. + +** Genesis 22:2 + +He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision; and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will shew thee. + +** Genesis 22:3 + +So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass, and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to the place which God had commanded him. + +** Genesis 22:4 + +And on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place afar off. + +** Genesis 22:5 + +And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass; I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, will return to you. + +** Genesis 22:6 + +And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together, + +** Genesis 22:7 + +Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust? + +** Genesis 22:8 + +And Abraham said: God will provide himself a victim for an holocaust, my son. So they went on together. + +** Genesis 22:9 + +And they came to the place which God had shewn him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it; and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood. + +** Genesis 22:10 + +And he put forth his hand, and took the sword, to sacrifice his son. + +** Genesis 22:11 + +And behold, an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am. + +** Genesis 22:12 + +And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake. + +** Genesis 22:13 + +Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram, amongst the briers, sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son. + +** Genesis 22:14 + +And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon, even to this day, it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see. + +** Genesis 22:15 + +And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying: + +** Genesis 22:16 + +By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake: + +** Genesis 22:17 + +I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore; thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies. + +** Genesis 22:18 + +And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice. + +** Genesis 22:19 + +Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there. + +** Genesis 22:20 + +After these things, it was told Abraham, that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother. + +** Genesis 22:21 + +Hus, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, + +** Genesis 22:22 + +And Cased, and Azau, and Pheldas, and Jedlaph, + +** Genesis 22:23 + +And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: these eight did Melcha bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother. + +** Genesis 22:24 + +And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha. + +* Genesis 23 + +** Genesis 23:1 + +And Sara lived a hundred and twenty-seven years. + +** Genesis 23:2 + +And she died in the city of Arbee which is Hebron, in the land of Chanaan: and Abraham came to mourn and weep for her. + +** Genesis 23:3 + +And after he rose up from the funeral obsequies, he spoke to the children of Heth, saying: + +** Genesis 23:4 + +I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead. + +** Genesis 23:5 + +The children of Heth answered, saying: + +** Genesis 23:6 + +My lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre. + +** Genesis 23:7 + +Abraham rose up, and bowed down to the people of the land, to wit, the children of Heth: + +** Genesis 23:8 + +And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor. + +** Genesis 23:9 + +That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: For as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place. + +** Genesis 23:10 + +Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying: + +** Genesis 23:11 + +Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein; in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead. + +** Genesis 23:12 + +Abraham bowed down before the people of the land. + +** Genesis 23:13 + +And he spoke to Ephron, in the presence of the people: I beseech thee to hear me: I will give money for the field; take it, and so will I bury my dead in it. + +** Genesis 23:14 + +And Ephron answered: + +** Genesis 23:15 + +My lord, hear me. The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? bury thy dead. + +** Genesis 23:16 + +And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver, of common current money. + +** Genesis 23:17 + +And the field that before was Ephron's, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof, in all its limits round about, + +** Genesis 23:18 + +Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city. + +** Genesis 23:19 + +And so Abraham buried Sara, his wife, in the double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan. + +** Genesis 23:20 + +And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth. + +* Genesis 24 + +** Genesis 24:1 + +Now Abraham was old, and advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed him in all things. + +** Genesis 24:2 + +And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh, + +** Genesis 24:3 + +That I may make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that thou take not a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Chanaanites, among whom I dwell: + +** Genesis 24:4 + +But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence for my son Isaac. + +** Genesis 24:5 + +The servant answered: If the woman will not come with me into this land, must I bring thy son back again to the place from whence thou camest out? + +** Genesis 24:6 + +And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither. + +** Genesis 24:7 + +The Lord God of heaven, who took me out of my father's house, and out of my native country, who spoke to me, and swore to me, saying: To thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son. + +** Genesis 24:8 + +But if the woman will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath: only bring not my son back thither again. + +** Genesis 24:9 + +The servant, therefore, put his hand under the thigh of Abraham, his lord, and swore to him upon his word. + +** Genesis 24:10 + +And he took ten camels of his master's herd, and departed, carrying something of all his goods with him, and he set forward and went on to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nachor. + +** Genesis 24:11 + +And when he had made the camels lie down without the town, near a well of water, in the evening, at the time when women are wont to come out to draw water, he said: + +** Genesis 24:12 + +O Lord, the God of my master, Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and shew kindness to my master, Abraham. + +** Genesis 24:13 + +Behold, I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw water: + +** Genesis 24:14 + +Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this, I shall understand that thou hast shewn kindness to my master. + +** Genesis 24:15 + +He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder: + +** Genesis 24:16 + +An exceeding comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher, and was coming back. + +** Genesis 24:17 + +And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher. + +** Genesis 24:18 + +And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink. + +** Genesis 24:19 + +And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink. + +** Genesis 24:20 + +And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water; and having drawn, she gave to all the camels. + +** Genesis 24:21 + +But he musing, beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. + +** Genesis 24:22 + +And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles; and as many bracelets, of ten sicles weight. + +** Genesis 24:23 + +And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father's house to lodge? + +** Genesis 24:24 + +And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor. + +** Genesis 24:25 + +And she said, moreover, to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in. + +** Genesis 24:26 + +The man bowed himself down, and adored the Lord, + +** Genesis 24:27 + +Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master's brother. + +** Genesis 24:28 + +Then the maid ran, and told in her mother's house all that she had heard. + +** Genesis 24:29 + +And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well. + +** Genesis 24:30 + +And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying, Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water, + +** Genesis 24:31 + +And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels. + +** Genesis 24:32 + +And he brought him into his lodging; and he unharnessed the camels, and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him. + +** Genesis 24:33 + +And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak. + +** Genesis 24:34 + +And he said: I am the servant of Abraham: + +** Genesis 24:35 + +And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, men servants and women servants, camels and asses. + +** Genesis 24:36 + +And Sara, my master's wife, hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had. + +** Genesis 24:37 + +And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell: + +** Genesis 24:38 + +But thou shalt go to my father's house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son: + +** Genesis 24:39 + +But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me? + +** Genesis 24:40 + +The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house. + +** Genesis 24:41 + +But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one. + +** Genesis 24:42 + +And I came today to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master, Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk, + +** Genesis 24:43 + +Behold, I stand by the well of water, and the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher: + +** Genesis 24:44 + +And shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, whom the Lord hath prepared for my master's son. + +** Genesis 24:45 + +And whilst I pondered these things secretly with myself, Rebecca appeared, coming with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder: and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her: Give me a little to drink. + +** Genesis 24:46 + +And she speedily let down the pitcher from her shoulder, and said to me: Both drink thou, and to thy camels I will give drink. I drank, and she watered the camels. + +** Genesis 24:47 + +And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him. So I put earrings on her to adorn her face, and I put bracelets on her hands. + +** Genesis 24:48 + +And falling down, I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master, Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son. + +** Genesis 24:49 + +Wherefore, if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go to the right hand, or to the left. + +** Genesis 24:50 + +And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord: we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure. + +** Genesis 24:51 + +Behold, Rebecca is before thee, take her and go thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master's son, as the Lord hath spoken. + +** Genesis 24:52 + +Which when Abraham's servant heard, falling down to the ground, he adored the Lord. + +** Genesis 24:53 + +And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca, for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother. + +** Genesis 24:54 + +And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master. + +** Genesis 24:55 + +And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay, at least, ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart. + +** Genesis 24:56 + +Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master. + +** Genesis 24:57 + +And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will. + +** Genesis 24:58 + +And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go. + +** Genesis 24:59 + +So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company. + +** Genesis 24:60 + +Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies. + +** Genesis 24:61 + +So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master. + +** Genesis 24:62 + +At the same time, Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country: + +** Genesis 24:63 + +And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off. + +** Genesis 24:64 + +Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel, + +** Genesis 24:65 + +And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself. + +** Genesis 24:66 + +And the servant told Isaac all that he had done. + +** Genesis 24:67 + +Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death. + +* Genesis 25 + +** Genesis 25:1 + +And Abraham married another wife named Cetura: + +** Genesis 25:2 + +Who bore him Zamram, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue. + +** Genesis 25:3 + +Jecsan also begot Saba, and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomim. + +** Genesis 25:4 + +But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura. + +** Genesis 25:5 + +And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac: + +** Genesis 25:6 + +And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country. + +** Genesis 25:7 + +And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years. + +** Genesis 25:8 + +And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people. + +** Genesis 25:9 + +And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre, + +** Genesis 25:10 + +Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife. + +** Genesis 25:11 + +And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing. + +** Genesis 25:12 + +These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him: + +** Genesis 25:13 + +And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam, + +** Genesis 25:14 + +And Masma, and Duma, and Massa, + +** Genesis 25:15 + +Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma. + +** Genesis 25:16 + +These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes. + +** Genesis 25:17 + +And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people. + +** Genesis 25:18 + +And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren. + +** Genesis 25:19 + +These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac: + +** Genesis 25:20 + +Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban. + +** Genesis 25:21 + +And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive. + +** Genesis 25:22 + +But the children struggled in her womb, and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord. + +** Genesis 25:23 + +And he answering, said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger. + +** Genesis 25:24 + +And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb. + +** Genesis 25:25 + +He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand: and therefore he was called Jacob. + +** Genesis 25:26 + +Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him. + +** Genesis 25:27 + +And when they were grown up, Esau became a skilful hunter, and a husbandman: but Jacob, a plain man, dwelt in tents. + +** Genesis 25:28 + +Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob. + +** Genesis 25:29 + +And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field, + +** Genesis 25:30 + +Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom. + +** Genesis 25:31 + +And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright. + +** Genesis 25:32 + +He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me? + +** Genesis 25:33 + +Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright. + +** Genesis 25:34 + +And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went on his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright. + +* Genesis 26 + +** Genesis 26:1 + +And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestines, to Gerara. + +** Genesis 26:2 + +And the Lord appeared to him, and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee. + +** Genesis 26:3 + +And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfil the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father. + +** Genesis 26:4 + +And I will multiply thy seed like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. + +** Genesis 26:5 + +Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws. + +** Genesis 26:6 + +So Isaac abode in Gerara. + +** Genesis 26:7 + +And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister: for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty. + +** Genesis 26:8 + +And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech, king of the Palestines, looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca, his wife. + +** Genesis 26:9 + +And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake. + +** Genesis 26:10 + +And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying: + +** Genesis 26:11 + +He that shall touch this man's wife, shall surely be put to death. + +** Genesis 26:12 + +And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. + +** Genesis 26:13 + +And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great. + +** Genesis 26:14 + +And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him, + +** Genesis 26:15 + +Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, filling them up with earth: + +** Genesis 26:16 + +Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we. + +** Genesis 26:17 + +So he departed, and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there: + +** Genesis 26:18 + +And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, and which, after his death, the Philistines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names, by which his father before had called them. + +** Genesis 26:19 + +And they digged in the torrent, and found living water: + +** Genesis 26:20 + +But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny. + +** Genesis 26:21 + +And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity. + +** Genesis 26:22 + +Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not; therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth. + +** Genesis 26:23 + +And he went up from that place to Bersabee, + +** Genesis 26:24 + +Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father, do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. + +** Genesis 26:25 + +And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent; and commanded his servants to dig a well. + +** Genesis 26:26 + +To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers, came from Gerara, + +** Genesis 26:27 + +Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you? + +** Genesis 26:28 + +And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant, + +** Genesis 26:29 + +That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee; but with peace have sent thee away, increased with the blessing of the Lord. + +** Genesis 26:30 + +And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk: + +** Genesis 26:31 + +Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home. + +** Genesis 26:32 + +And behold, the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have found water. + +** Genesis 26:33 + +Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day. + +** Genesis 26:34 + +And Esau being forty years old, married wives, Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon, of the same place. + +** Genesis 26:35 + +And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca. + +* Genesis 27 + +** Genesis 27:1 + +Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? And he answered: Here I am. + +** Genesis 27:2 + +And his father said to him, Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death. + +** Genesis 27:3 + +Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad; and when thou hast taken something by hunting, + +** Genesis 27:4 + +Make me a savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee, before I die. + +** Genesis 27:5 + +And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfil his father's commandment, + +** Genesis 27:6 + +She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau, thy brother, and saying to him: + +** Genesis 27:7 + +Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die. + +** Genesis 27:8 + +Now therefore, my son, follow my counsel: + +** Genesis 27:9 + +And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth. + +** Genesis 27:10 + +Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die. + +** Genesis 27:11 + +And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am smooth: + +** Genesis 27:12 + +If my father should feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing. + +** Genesis 27:13 + +And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said. + +** Genesis 27:14 + +He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked. + +** Genesis 27:15 + +And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her: + +** Genesis 27:16 + +And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck. + +** Genesis 27:17 + +And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked. + +** Genesis 27:18 + +Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son? + +** Genesis 27:19 + +And Jacob said: I am Esau, thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. + +** Genesis 27:20 + +And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way: + +** Genesis 27:21 + +And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or no. + +** Genesis 27:22 + +He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands, are the hands of Esau. + +** Genesis 27:23 + +And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him, + +** Genesis 27:24 + +He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am. + +** Genesis 27:25 + +Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk, + +** Genesis 27:26 + +He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son. + +** Genesis 27:27 + +He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed. + +** Genesis 27:28 + +God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine. + +** Genesis 27:29 + +And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings. + +** Genesis 27:30 + +Isaac had scarce ended his words, when, Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came, + +** Genesis 27:31 + +And brought in to his father meats, made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son's venison; that thy soul may bless me. + +** Genesis 27:32 + +And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son, Esau. + +** Genesis 27:33 + +Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly; and wondering beyond what can be believed, said: Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed. + +** Genesis 27:34 + +Esau having heard his father's words, roared out with a great cry; and, being in a consternation, said: Bless me also, my father. + +** Genesis 27:35 + +And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing. + +** Genesis 27:36 + +But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: My birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing? + +** Genesis 27:37 + +Isaac answered: I have appointed him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more for thee, my son? + +** Genesis 27:38 + +And Esau said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry, + +** Genesis 27:39 + +Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above, + +** Genesis 27:40 + +Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword, and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy neck. + +** Genesis 27:41 + +Esau therefore always hated Jacob, for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him; and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning for my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob. + +** Genesis 27:42 + +These things were told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob, her son, and said to him: Behold Esau, thy brother, threateneth to kill thee. + +** Genesis 27:43 + +Now therefore, my son, hear my voice, arise and flee to Laban, my brother, to Haran: + +** Genesis 27:44 + +And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged, + +** Genesis 27:45 + +And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day? + +** Genesis 27:46 + +And Rebecca said to Isaac: I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the stock of this land, I choose not to live. + +* Genesis 28 + +** Genesis 28:1 + +And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan: + +** Genesis 28:2 + +But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel, thy mother's father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban, thy uncle. + +** Genesis 28:3 + +And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people. + +** Genesis 28:4 + +And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather. + +** Genesis 28:5 + +And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bathuel, the Syrian, brother to Rebecca, his mother. + +** Genesis 28:6 + +And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan: + +** Genesis 28:7 + +And that Jacob obeying his parents, was gone into Syria: + +** Genesis 28:8 + +Experiencing also, that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan: + +** Genesis 28:9 + +He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth, the daughter of Ismael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nabajoth. + +** Genesis 28:10 + +But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran. + +** Genesis 28:11 + +And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. + +** Genesis 28:12 + +And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it. + +** Genesis 28:13 + +And the Lord leaning upon the ladder saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: The land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed. + +** Genesis 28:14 + +And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed, all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED. + +** Genesis 28:15 + +And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said. + +** Genesis 28:16 + +And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. + +** Genesis 28:17 + +And trembling, he said: How terrible is this place? this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven. + +** Genesis 28:18 + +And Jacob arising in the morning, took the stone which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it. + +** Genesis 28:19 + +And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza. + +** Genesis 28:20 + +And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way, by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, + +** Genesis 28:21 + +And I shall return prosperously to my father's house: the Lord shall be my God: + +** Genesis 28:22 + +And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee. + +* Genesis 29 + +** Genesis 29:1 + +Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country. + +** Genesis 29:2 + +And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone. + +** Genesis 29:3 + +And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together, to roll away the stone, and after the sheep were watered, to put it on the mouth of the well again. + +** Genesis 29:4 + +And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran. + +** Genesis 29:5 + +And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? They said: We know him. + +** Genesis 29:6 + +He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold, Rachel, his daughter, cometh with his flock. + +** Genesis 29:7 + +And Jacob said: There is yet much day remaining, neither is it time to bring the flocks into the folds again: first give the sheep drink, and so lead them back to feed. + +** Genesis 29:8 + +They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well's mouth, that we may water the flocks. + +** Genesis 29:9 + +They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she fed the flock. + +** Genesis 29:10 + +And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed. + +** Genesis 29:11 + +And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice wept. + +** Genesis 29:12 + +And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father. + +** Genesis 29:13 + +Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister's son was come, ran forth to meet him: and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey, + +** Genesis 29:14 + +He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired, + +** Genesis 29:15 + +He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have. + +** Genesis 29:16 + +Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia; and the younger was called Rachel. + +** Genesis 29:17 + +But Lia was blear-eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance. + +** Genesis 29:18 + +And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel, thy younger daughter. + +** Genesis 29:19 + +Laban answered: It is better that I give her to thee than to another man; stay with me. + +** Genesis 29:20 + +So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love. + +** Genesis 29:21 + +And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. + +** Genesis 29:22 + +And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage. + +** Genesis 29:23 + +And at night he brought in Lia, his daughter, to him, + +** Genesis 29:24 + +Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom, when morning was come he saw it was Lia. + +** Genesis 29:25 + +And he said to his father-in-law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me? + +** Genesis 29:26 + +Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first. + +** Genesis 29:27 + +Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years. + +** Genesis 29:28 + +He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel: + +** Genesis 29:29 + +To whom her father gave Bala, for her servant. + +** Genesis 29:30 + +And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years. + +** Genesis 29:31 + +And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren. + +** Genesis 29:32 + +And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me. + +** Genesis 29:33 + +And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon. + +** Genesis 29:34 + +And she conceived the third time, and bore another son, and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: and therefore she called his name Levi. + +** Genesis 29:35 + +The fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and said: Now will I praise the Lord: and for this she called him Juda. And she left bearing. + +* Genesis 30 + +** Genesis 30:1 + +And Rachel seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die. + +** Genesis 30:2 + +And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb? + +** Genesis 30:3 + +But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her. + +** Genesis 30:4 + +And she gave him Bala in marriage: who, + +** Genesis 30:5 + +When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son. + +** Genesis 30:6 + +And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son; and therefore she called his name Dan. + +** Genesis 30:7 + +And again Bala conceived, and bore another, + +** Genesis 30:8 + +For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephthali. + +** Genesis 30:9 + +Lia perceiving that she had left of bearing, gave Zelpha, her handmaid, to her husband. + +** Genesis 30:10 + +And when she had conceived, and brought forth a son, + +** Genesis 30:11 + +She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad. + +** Genesis 30:12 + +Zelpha also bore another. + +** Genesis 30:13 + +And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser. + +** Genesis 30:14 + +And Ruben going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son's mandrakes. + +** Genesis 30:15 + +She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son's mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandrakes. + +** Genesis 30:16 + +And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes. And he slept with her that night. + +** Genesis 30:17 + +And God heard her prayers; and she conceived: and bore a fifth son: + +** Genesis 30:18 + +And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar. + +** Genesis 30:19 + +And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son, + +** Genesis 30:20 + +And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry; this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon. + +** Genesis 30:21 + +After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina. + +** Genesis 30:22 + +The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb. + +** Genesis 30:23 + +And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach. + +** Genesis 30:24 + +And she called his name Joseph: saying: The Lord give me also another son. + +** Genesis 30:25 + +And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: Send me away, that I may return into my country, and to my land. + +** Genesis 30:26 + +Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee. + +** Genesis 30:27 + +Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned, by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake. + +** Genesis 30:28 + +Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee. + +** Genesis 30:29 + +But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands. + +** Genesis 30:30 + +Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable, therefore, that I should now provide also for my own house. + +** Genesis 30:31 + +And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing; but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed and keep thy sheep again. + +** Genesis 30:32 + +Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled; and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall be my wages. + +** Genesis 30:33 + +And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee, when the time of the bargain shall come; and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft. + +** Genesis 30:34 + +And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest. + +** Genesis 30:35 + +And he separated the same day the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted; and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons. + +** Genesis 30:36 + +And he set the space of three days journey betwixt himself and his son-in-law, who fed the rest of his flock. + +** Genesis 30:37 + +And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane-trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole, remained green: and by this means the colour was divers. + +** Genesis 30:38 + +And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out; that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive. + +** Genesis 30:39 + +And it came to pass, that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled. + +** Genesis 30:40 + +And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams; and all the white and the black were Laban's, and the rest were Jacob's, when the flocks were separated one from the other. + +** Genesis 30:41 + +So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them. + +** Genesis 30:42 + +But when the later coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban's; and they of the first time, Jacob's. + +** Genesis 30:43 + +And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid-servants and men-servants, camels and asses. + +* Genesis 31 + +** Genesis 31:1 + +But after that he had heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and being enriched by his substance is become great. + +** Genesis 31:2 + +And perceiving also, that Laban's countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day. + +** Genesis 31:3 + +Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee. + +** Genesis 31:4 + +He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks, + +** Genesis 31:5 + +And said to them: I see your father's countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me. + +** Genesis 31:6 + +And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power. + +** Genesis 31:7 + +Yea your father hath also overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me. + +** Genesis 31:8 + +If at any time, he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white one for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones. + +** Genesis 31:9 + +And God hath taken your father's substance, and given it to me. + +** Genesis 31:10 + +For after the time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep, that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled. + +** Genesis 31:11 + +And the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob. And I answered: Here I am. + +** Genesis 31:12 + +And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee. + +** Genesis 31:13 + +I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country. + +** Genesis 31:14 + +And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father's house? + +** Genesis 31:15 + +Hath he not counted us as strangers, and sold us, and eaten up the price of us? + +** Genesis 31:16 + +But God hath taken our father's riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore, do all that God hath commanded thee. + +** Genesis 31:17 + +Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way. + +** Genesis 31:18 + +And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac, his father, to the land of Chanaan. + +** Genesis 31:19 + +At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father's idols. + +** Genesis 31:20 + +And Jacob would not confess to his father-in-law that he was flying away. + +** Genesis 31:21 + +And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad, + +** Genesis 31:22 + +It was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob fled. + +** Genesis 31:23 + +And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad. + +** Genesis 31:24 + +And he saw in a dream God, saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob. + +** Genesis 31:25 + +Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he, with his brethren, had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad. + +** Genesis 31:26 + +And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters as captives taken with the sword? + +** Genesis 31:27 + +Why wouldst thou run away privately, and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps? + +** Genesis 31:28 + +Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters; thou hast done foolishly; and now indeed, + +** Genesis 31:29 + +It is in my power to return thee evil; but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob. + +** Genesis 31:30 + +Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father's house: why hast thou stolen away my gods? + +** Genesis 31:31 + +Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force. + +** Genesis 31:32 + +But, whereas, thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols. + +** Genesis 31:33 + +So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel's tent, + +** Genesis 31:34 + +She, in haste, hid the idols under the camel's furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing, + +** Genesis 31:35 + +She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women. So his careful search was in vain. + +** Genesis 31:36 + +And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me, + +** Genesis 31:37 + +And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee. + +** Genesis 31:38 + +Have I, therefore, been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat: + +** Genesis 31:39 + +Neither did I shew thee that which the beast had torn; I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me: + +** Genesis 31:40 + +Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes. + +** Genesis 31:41 + +And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times. + +** Genesis 31:42 + +Unless the God of my father, Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday. + +** Genesis 31:43 + +Laban answered him: The daughters are mine, and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren? + +** Genesis 31:44 + +Come, therefore, let us enter into a league; that it may be for a testimony between me and thee. + +** Genesis 31:45 + +And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title. + +** Genesis 31:46 + +And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they, gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it. + +** Genesis 31:47 + +And Laban called it, The witness heap; and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language. + +** Genesis 31:48 + +And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap. + +** Genesis 31:49 + +The Lord behold and judge between us, when we shall be gone one from the other. + +** Genesis 31:50 + +If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth. + +** Genesis 31:51 + +And he said again to Jacob: Behold this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee, + +** Genesis 31:52 + +Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it thinking harm to me. + +** Genesis 31:53 + +The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac: + +** Genesis 31:54 + +And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there: + +** Genesis 31:55 + +But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place. + +* Genesis 32 + +** Genesis 32:1 + +Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him. + +** Genesis 32:2 + +And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps. + +** Genesis 32:3 + +And he sent messengers before him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom: + +** Genesis 32:4 + +And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day: + +** Genesis 32:5 + +I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight. + +** Genesis 32:6 + +And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau, thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men. + +** Genesis 32:7 + +Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies, + +** Genesis 32:8 + +Saying: If Esau come to one company, and destroy it, the other company that is left, shall escape. + +** Genesis 32:9 + +And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac: O Lord who saidst to me, Return to thy land, and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee. + +** Genesis 32:10 + +I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies. + +** Genesis 32:11 + +Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him; lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children. + +** Genesis 32:12 + +Thou didst say, that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. + +** Genesis 32:13 + +And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau, + +** Genesis 32:14 + +Two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, + +** Genesis 32:15 + +Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and twenty bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten of their foals. + +** Genesis 32:16 + +And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove. + +** Genesis 32:17 + +And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee? + +** Genesis 32:18 + +Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob's: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau; and he cometh after us. + +** Genesis 32:19 + +In like manner he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him. + +** Genesis 32:20 + +And ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us; for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me. + +** Genesis 32:21 + +So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp. + +** Genesis 32:22 + +And rising early, he took his two wives and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc. + +** Genesis 32:23 + +And when all things were brought over that belonged to him, + +** Genesis 32:24 + +He remained alone; and behold, a man wrestled with him till morning. + +** Genesis 32:25 + +And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank. + +** Genesis 32:26 + +And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. + +** Genesis 32:27 + +And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob. + +** Genesis 32:28 + +But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men? + +** Genesis 32:29 + +Jacob asked him: Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place. + +** Genesis 32:30 + +And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved. + +** Genesis 32:31 + +And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot. + +** Genesis 32:32 + +Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank. + +* Genesis 33 + +** Genesis 33:1 + +And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids. + +** Genesis 33:2 + +And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last. + +** Genesis 33:3 + +And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times, until his brother came near. + +** Genesis 33:4 + +Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept. + +** Genesis 33:5 + +And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me, thy servant. + +** Genesis 33:6 + +Then the handmaids and their children came near and bowed themselves. + +** Genesis 33:7 + +Lia also, with her children, came near and bowed down in like manner; and last of all, Joseph and Rachel bowed down. + +** Genesis 33:8 + +And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord. + +** Genesis 33:9 + +But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself. + +** Genesis 33:10 + +And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me, + +** Genesis 33:11 + +And take the blessing which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother's earnest pressing him, + +** Genesis 33:12 + +And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey. + +** Genesis 33:13 + +And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die. + +** Genesis 33:14 + +May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir. + +** Genesis 33:15 + +Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people, at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight. + +** Genesis 33:16 + +So Esau returned that day, the way that he came, to Seir. + +** Genesis 33:17 + +And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents. + +** Genesis 33:18 + +And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town. + +** Genesis 33:19 + +And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem, for a hundred lambs. + +** Genesis 33:20 + +And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel. + +* Genesis 34 + +** Genesis 34:1 + +And Dina the daughter of Lia went out to see the women of that country. + +** Genesis 34:2 + +And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin. + +** Genesis 34:3 + +And his soul was fast knit unto her; and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words. + +** Genesis 34:4 + +And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife. + +** Genesis 34:5 + +But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back. + +** Genesis 34:6 + +And when Hemor the father of Sichem was come out to speak to Jacob, + +** Genesis 34:7 + +Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob's daughter. + +** Genesis 34:8 + +And Hemor spoke to them: The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter: give her him to wife: + +** Genesis 34:9 + +And let us contract marriages one with another: give us your daughters, and take you our daughters. + +** Genesis 34:10 + +And dwell with us: the land is at your command, till, trade, and possess it. + +** Genesis 34:11 + +Sichem also said to her father and to her brethren: Let me find favour in your sight, and whatsoever you shall appoint I will give: + +** Genesis 34:12 + +Raise the dowry, and ask gifts, and I will gladly give what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife. + +** Genesis 34:13 + +The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister: + +** Genesis 34:14 + +We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; which with us is unlawful and abominable. + +** Genesis 34:15 + +But in this we may be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised: + +** Genesis 34:16 + +Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours; and we will dwell with you, and will be one people: + +** Genesis 34:17 + +But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart. + +** Genesis 34:18 + +Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem, his son: + +** Genesis 34:19 + +And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required: for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house. + +** Genesis 34:20 + +And going into the gate of the city, they spoke to the people: + +** Genesis 34:21 + +These men are peaceable, and are willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours. + +** Genesis 34:22 + +One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation. + +** Genesis 34:23 + +And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours; only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people. + +** Genesis 34:24 + +And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males. + +** Genesis 34:25 + +And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest: two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city and slew all the men. + +** Genesis 34:26 + +And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina out of Sichem's house. + +** Genesis 34:27 + +And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape. + +** Genesis 34:28 + +And they took their sheep, and their herds, and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in their fields. + +** Genesis 34:29 + +And their children and wives they took captive. + +** Genesis 34:30 + +And when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and made me hateful to the Chanaanites and Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house shall be destroyed. + +** Genesis 34:31 + +They answered: Should they abuse our sister as a strumpet? + +* Genesis 35 + +** Genesis 35:1 + +In the mean time God said to Jacob: Arise and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau, thy brother. + +** Genesis 35:2 + +And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed, and change your garments. + +** Genesis 35:3 + +Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God; who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompained me in my journey. + +** Genesis 35:4 + +So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem. + +** Genesis 35:5 + +And when they were departed, the terror of God fell upon all the cities round about, and they durst not pursue after them as they went away. + +** Genesis 35:6 + +And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him. + +** Genesis 35:7 + +And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother. + +** Genesis 35:8 + +At the same time Debora, the nurse of Rebecca, died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel, under an oak, and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping. + +** Genesis 35:9 + +And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him, + +** Genesis 35:10 + +Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel. + +** Genesis 35:11 + +And said to him: I am God almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins. + +** Genesis 35:12 + +And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee. + +** Genesis 35:13 + +And he departed from him. + +** Genesis 35:14 + +But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink-offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon: + +** Genesis 35:15 + +And calling the name of that place Bethel. + +** Genesis 35:16 + +And going forth from thence, he came in the spring time to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail, + +** Genesis 35:17 + +By reason of her hard labour, she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also. + +** Genesis 35:18 + +And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand. + +** Genesis 35:19 + +So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, this is Bethlehem. + +** Genesis 35:20 + +And Jacob erected a pillar over her sepulchre: this is the pillar of Rachel's monument, to this day. + +** Genesis 35:21 + +Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower. + +** Genesis 35:22 + +And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. + +** Genesis 35:23 + +The sons of Lia: Ruben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Juda, and Issachar, and Zabulon. + +** Genesis 35:24 + +The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. + +** Genesis 35:25 + +The sons of Bala, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Nephthali. + +** Genesis 35:26 + +The sons of Zelpha, Lia's handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria. + +** Genesis 35:27 + +And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned. + +** Genesis 35:28 + +And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years. + +** Genesis 35:29 + +And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. + +* Genesis 36 + +** Genesis 36:1 + +And these are the generations of Esau, the same is Edom. + +** Genesis 36:2 + +Esau took wives of the daughters of Chanaan: Ada the daughter of Elon the Hethite, and Oolibama the daughter of Ana, the daughter of Sebeon the Hevite: + +** Genesis 36:3 + +And Basemath, the daughter of Ismael, sister of Nabajoth. + +** Genesis 36:4 + +And Ada bore Eliphaz: Basemath bore Rahuel. + +** Genesis 36:5 + +Oolibama bore Jehus, and Ihelon, and Core.

These are the sons of Ada, the wife of Esau. + +** Genesis 36:13 + +And the sons of Rahuel were Nahath and Zara, Samma and Meza. These were the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau. + +** Genesis 36:14 + +And these were the sons of Oolibama, the daughter of Ana, the daughter of Sebeon, the wife of Esau, whom she bore to him, Jehus, and Ihelon, and Core. + +** Genesis 36:15 + +These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau: duke Theman, duke Omar, duke Sepho, duke Cenez, + +** Genesis 36:16 + +Duke Core, duke Gatham, duke Amalech: these are the sons of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom, and these the sons of Ada. + +** Genesis 36:17 + +And these were the sons of Rahuel, the son of Esau: duke Nahath, duke Zara, duke Samma, duke Meza.

These are dukes of the Horrites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom. + +** Genesis 36:22 + +And Lotan had sons: Hori and Heman. And the sister of Lotan was Thamna. + +** Genesis 36:23 + +And these the sons of Sobal: Alvan, and Manahat, and Ebal, and Sepho, and Onam. + +** Genesis 36:24 + +And these the sons of Sebeon: Aia and Ana. This is Ana that found the hot waters in the wilderness, when he fed the asses of Sebeon, his father: + +** Genesis 36:25 + +And he had a son Dison, and a daughter Oolibama. + +** Genesis 36:26 + +And these were the sons of Dison: Hamdan, and Eseban, and Jethram, and Charan. + +** Genesis 36:27 + +These also were the sons of Eser: Balaan, and Zavan, and Acan. + +** Genesis 36:28 + +And Dison had sons: Hus and Aram. + +** Genesis 36:29 + +These were dukes of the Horrites: duke Lotan, duke Sobal, duke Sebeon, duke Ana, + +** Genesis 36:30 + +Duke Dison, duke Eser, duke Disan: these were dukes of the Horrites that ruled in the land of Seir. + +** Genesis 36:31 + +And the kings that ruled in the land of Edom, before the children of Israel had a king, were these: + +** Genesis 36:32 + +Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city Denaba. + +** Genesis 36:33 + +And Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zara, of Bosra, reigned in his stead. + +** Genesis 36:34 + +And when Jobab was dead, Husam, of the land of the Themanites, reigned in his stead. + +** Genesis 36:35 + +And after his death, Adad, the son of Badad, reigned in his stead, who defeated the Madianites in the country of Boab; and the name of his city was Avith. + +** Genesis 36:36 + +And when Adad was dead, there reigned in his stead, Semla, of Masreca. + +** Genesis 36:37 + +And he being dead, Saul, of the river Rohoboth, reigned in his stead. + +** Genesis 36:38 + +And when he also was dead, Balanan, the son of Achobor, succeeded to the kingdom. + +** Genesis 36:39 + +This man also being dead, Adar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Phau: and his wife was called Meetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezaab. + +** Genesis 36:40 + +And these are the names of the dukes of Esau in their kindreds, and places, and callings: duke Thamna, duke Alva, duke Jetheth, + +** Genesis 36:41 + +Duke Oolibama, duke Ela, duke Phinon, + +** Genesis 36:42 + +Duke Cenez, duke Theman, duke Mabsar, + +** Genesis 36:43 + +Duke Magdiel, duke Hiram: these are the dukes of Edom dwelling in the land of their government; the same is Esau, the father of the Edomites. + +* Genesis 37 + +** Genesis 37:1 + +And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan, wherein his father sojourned. + +** Genesis 37:2 + +And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime. + +** Genesis 37:3 + +Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours. + +** Genesis 37:4 + +And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated hem, and could not speak peaceably to him. + +** Genesis 37:5 + +Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more. + +** Genesis 37:6 + +And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed. + +** Genesis 37:7 + +I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about bowed down before my sheaf. + +** Genesis 37:8 + +His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred. + +** Genesis 37:9 + +He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me. + +** Genesis 37:10 + +And when he had told this to his father, and brethren, his father rebuked him and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth? + +** Genesis 37:11 + +His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself. + +** Genesis 37:12 + +And when his brethren abode in Sechem, feeding their father's flocks, + +** Genesis 37:13 + +Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered: + +** Genesis 37:14 + +I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem: + +** Genesis 37:15 + +And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought. + +** Genesis 37:16 + +But he answered: I seek my brethren, tell me where they feed the flocks. + +** Genesis 37:17 + +And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain. + +** Genesis 37:18 + +And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him: + +** Genesis 37:19 + +And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh. + +** Genesis 37:20 + +Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him: + +** Genesis 37:21 + +And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said: + +** Genesis 37:22 + +Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father. + +** Genesis 37:23 + +And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours: + +** Genesis 37:24 + +And cast him into an old pit where there was not water. + +** Genesis 37:25 + +And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt. + +** Genesis 37:26 + +And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood? + +** Genesis 37:27 + +It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words. + +** Genesis 37:28 + +And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt. + +** Genesis 37:29 + +And Ruben returning to the pit, found not the boy: + +** Genesis 37:30 + +And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go? + +** Genesis 37:31 + +And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed: + +** Genesis 37:32 + +Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son's coat, or not. + +** Genesis 37:33 + +And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph. + +** Genesis 37:34 + +And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time. + +** Genesis 37:35 + +And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, + +** Genesis 37:36 + +The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers. + +* Genesis 38 + +** Genesis 38:1 + +At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras. + +** Genesis 38:2 + +And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her. + +** Genesis 38:3 + +And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her. + +** Genesis 38:4 + +And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called him Onan. + +** Genesis 38:5 + +She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more. + +** Genesis 38:6 + +And Juda took a wife for Her, his first born, whose name was Thamar. + +** Genesis 38:7 + +And Her, the first born of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him. + +** Genesis 38:8 + +Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. + +** Genesis 38:9 + +He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother's wife, he spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother's name. + +** Genesis 38:10 + +And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing: + +** Genesis 38:11 + +Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter-in-law: Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way, and dwelt in her father's house. + +** Genesis 38:12 + +And after many days were past: the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite, the shepherd of his flock. + +** Genesis 38:13 + +And it was told Thamar that her father-in-law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep. + +** Genesis 38:14 + +And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him. + +** Genesis 38:15 + +When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known. + +** Genesis 38:16 + +And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter-in-law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company? + +** Genesis 38:17 + +He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give me a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest. + +** Genesis 38:18 + +Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived. + +** Genesis 38:19 + +And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood. + +** Genesis 38:20 + +And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her, + +** Genesis 38:21 + +Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place, + +** Genesis 38:22 + +He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover, the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there. + +** Genesis 38:23 + +Juda said: Let her take it to herself, surely she cannot charge us with a lie, I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst not find her. + +** Genesis 38:24 + +And behold, after three months, they told Juda, saying: Thamar, thy daughter-in-law, hath played the harlot, and she appeareth to have a big belly. And Juda said: Bring her out that she may be burnt. + +** Genesis 38:25 + +But when she was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying: By the man, to whom these things belong, I am with child. See whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is. + +** Genesis 38:26 + +But he acknowledging the gifts, said: She is juster than I: because I did not give her to Sela, my son. However he knew her no more. + +** Genesis 38:27 + +And when she was ready to be brought to bed, there appeared twins in her womb: and in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, whereon the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying: + +** Genesis 38:28 + +This shall come forth the first. + +** Genesis 38:29 + +But he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? and therefore called his name Phares. + +** Genesis 38:30 + +Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called his name Zara. + +* Genesis 39 + +** Genesis 39:1 + +And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought. + +** Genesis 39:2 + +And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house: + +** Genesis 39:3 + +Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand. + +** Genesis 39:4 + +And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him: + +** Genesis 39:5 + +And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home and in the fields. + +** Genesis 39:6 + +Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold. + +** Genesis 39:7 + +And after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me. + +** Genesis 39:8 + +But he in no wise consenting to that wicked act said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house: + +** Genesis 39:9 + +Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife; how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God? + +** Genesis 39:10 + +With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery. + +** Genesis 39:11 + +Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business, without any man with him: + +** Genesis 39:12 + +And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out. + +** Genesis 39:13 + +And when the woman saw the garment in her hands, and herself disregarded, + +** Genesis 39:14 + +She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and when I cried out, + +** Genesis 39:15 + +And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out. + +** Genesis 39:16 + +For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home: + +** Genesis 39:17 + +And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought, came to me to abuse me. + +** Genesis 39:18 + +And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out. + +** Genesis 39:19 + +His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife's words, was very angry, + +** Genesis 39:20 + +And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king's prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up. + +** Genesis 39:21 + +But the Lord was with Joseph, and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison: + +** Genesis 39:22 + +Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done, was under him. + +** Genesis 39:23 + +Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper. + +* Genesis 40 + +** Genesis 40:1 + +After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord. + +** Genesis 40:2 + +And Pharao being angry with them, (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker,) + +** Genesis 40:3 + +He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner. + +** Genesis 40:4 + +But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody. + +** Genesis 40:5 + +And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves: + +** Genesis 40:6 + +And when Joseph was come into them in the morning, and saw them sad, + +** Genesis 40:7 + +He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual? + +** Genesis 40:8 + +They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed: + +** Genesis 40:9 + +The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine, + +** Genesis 40:10 + +On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes: + +** Genesis 40:11 + +And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao. + +** Genesis 40:12 + +Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches, are yet three days: + +** Genesis 40:13 + +After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou was wont to do. + +** Genesis 40:14 + +Only remember me when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison: + +** Genesis 40:15 + +For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon. + +** Genesis 40:16 + +The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head: + +** Genesis 40:17 + +And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it. + +** Genesis 40:18 + +Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets, are yet three days: + +** Genesis 40:19 + +After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh. + +** Genesis 40:20 + +The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker. + +** Genesis 40:21 + +And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup: + +** Genesis 40:22 + +The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn. + +** Genesis 40:23 + +But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter. + +* Genesis 41 + +** Genesis 41:1 + +After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river, + +** Genesis 41:2 + +Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places. + +** Genesis 41:3 + +Other seven also came up out of the river, ill-favoured, and lean fleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places: + +** Genesis 41:4 + +And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke. + +** Genesis 41:5 + +He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair: + +** Genesis 41:6 + +Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted, + +** Genesis 41:7 + +And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest: + +** Genesis 41:8 + +And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it. + +** Genesis 41:9 + +Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin: + +** Genesis 41:10 + +The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers. + +** Genesis 41:11 + +Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come. + +** Genesis 41:12 + +There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams, + +** Genesis 41:13 + +And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet. + +** Genesis 41:14 + +Forthwith at the king's command Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him: and changing his apparel brought him in to him. + +** Genesis 41:15 + +And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them: + +** Genesis 41:16 + +Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer. + +** Genesis 41:17 + +So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river, + +** Genesis 41:18 + +And seven kine came up out of the river, exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture. + +** Genesis 41:19 + +And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill-favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt: + +** Genesis 41:20 + +And they devoured and consumed the former, + +** Genesis 41:21 + +And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill-favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again, + +** Genesis 41:22 + +And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew up upon one stalk, full and very fair. + +** Genesis 41:23 + +Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stalk: + +** Genesis 41:24 + +And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it. + +** Genesis 41:25 + +Joseph answered: The king's dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do. + +** Genesis 41:26 + +The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream. + +** Genesis 41:27 + +And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come: + +** Genesis 41:28 + +Which shall be fulfilled in this order. + +** Genesis 41:29 + +Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt: + +** Genesis 41:30 + +After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land, + +** Genesis 41:31 + +And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty. + +** Genesis 41:32 + +And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily. + +** Genesis 41:33 + +Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt: + +** Genesis 41:34 + +That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years, + +** Genesis 41:35 + +That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up, under Pharao's hands, and be reserved in the cities. + +** Genesis 41:36 + +And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity. + +** Genesis 41:37 + +The counsel pleased Pharao, and all his servants. + +** Genesis 41:38 + +And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God? + +** Genesis 41:39 + +He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee? + +** Genesis 41:40 + +Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee. + +** Genesis 41:41 + +And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt. + +** Genesis 41:42 + +And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck. + +** Genesis 41:43 + +And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt. + +** Genesis 41:44 + +And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao: without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. + +** Genesis 41:45 + +And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue the saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt. + +** Genesis 41:46 + +(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao), and he went round all the countries of Egypt. + +** Genesis 41:47 + +And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves, was gathered together into the barns of Egypt. + +** Genesis 41:48 + +And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city. + +** Genesis 41:49 + +And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure. + +** Genesis 41:50 + +And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis, bore unto him. + +** Genesis 41:51 + +And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father's house. + +** Genesis 41:52 + +And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty. + +** Genesis 41:53 + +Now when the seven years of plenty that had been in Egypt were passed: + +** Genesis 41:54 + +The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt. + +** Genesis 41:55 + +And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao, for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you. + +** Genesis 41:56 + +And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also. + +** Genesis 41:57 + +And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want. + +* Genesis 42 + +** Genesis 42:1 + +And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless? + +** Genesis 42:2 + +I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: Go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want. + +** Genesis 42:3 + +So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt: + +** Genesis 42:4 + +Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey. + +** Genesis 42:5 + +And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan. + +** Genesis 42:6 + +And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him, + +** Genesis 42:7 + +And he knew them, he spoke as it were to strangers, somewhat roughly, asking them: Whence came you? They answered: From the land of Chanaan, to buy necessaries of life. + +** Genesis 42:8 + +And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them. + +** Genesis 42:9 + +And remembering the dreams, which formerly he had dreamed, he said to them: You are spies. You are come to view the weaker parts of the land. + +** Genesis 42:10 + +But they said: It is not so, my lord; but thy servants are come to buy food. + +** Genesis 42:11 + +We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil. + +** Genesis 42:12 + +And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land. + +** Genesis 42:13 + +But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living. + +** Genesis 42:14 + +He saith, This is it that I said: You are spies. + +** Genesis 42:15 + +I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come. + +** Genesis 42:16 + +Send one of you to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you are spies. + +** Genesis 42:17 + +So he put them in prison three days. + +** Genesis 42:18 + +And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God. + +** Genesis 42:19 + +If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways, and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses. + +** Genesis 42:20 + +And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said. + +** Genesis 42:21 + +And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us. + +** Genesis 42:22 + +And Ruben, one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy; and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required. + +** Genesis 42:23 + +And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter. + +** Genesis 42:24 + +And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning, he spoke to them. + +** Genesis 42:25 + +And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man's money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so. + +** Genesis 42:26 + +But they having loaded their asses with the corn went their way. + +** Genesis 42:27 + +And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack's mouth, + +** Genesis 42:28 + +And said to his brethren: My money is given me again; behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us? + +** Genesis 42:29 + +And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying: + +** Genesis 42:30 + +The lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the country. + +** Genesis 42:31 + +And we answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot. + +** Genesis 42:32 + +We are twelve brethren born of one father: one is not living, the youngest is with our father in the land of Chanaan. + +** Genesis 42:33 + +And he said to us: Hereby shall I know that you are peaceable men: Leave one of your brethren with me, and take ye necessary provision for your houses, and go your ways, + +** Genesis 42:34 + +And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may know you are not spies: and you may receive this man again, that is kept in prison: and afterwards may have leave to buy what you will. + +** Genesis 42:35 + +When they had told this, they poured out their corn, and every man found his money tied in the mouth of his sack: and all being astonished together, + +** Genesis 42:36 + +Their father Jacob said: You have made me to be without children: Joseph is not living, Simeon is kept in bonds, and Benjamin you will take away: all these evils are fallen upon me. + +** Genesis 42:37 + +And Ruben answered him: Kill my two sons, if I bring him not again to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will restore him to thee. + +** Genesis 42:38 + +But he said: My son shall not go down with you: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to hell. + +* Genesis 43 + +** Genesis 43:1 + +In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land. + +** Genesis 43:2 + +And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again, and buy us a little food. + +** Genesis 43:3 + +Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you. + +** Genesis 43:4 + +If therefore thou wilt send him with us, we will set out together, and will buy necessaries for thee. + +** Genesis 43:5 + +But if thou wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall not see my face without your youngest brother. + +** Genesis 43:6 + +Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery, in that you told him you had also another brother. + +** Genesis 43:7 + +But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you? + +** Genesis 43:8 + +And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish. + +** Genesis 43:9 + +I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever. + +** Genesis 43:10 + +If delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time. + +** Genesis 43:11 + +Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, and almonds. + +** Genesis 43:12 + +And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake. + +** Genesis 43:13 + +And take also your brother, and go to the man. + +** Genesis 43:14 + +And may my almighty God make him favourable to you: and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children. + +** Genesis 43:15 + +So the men took the presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood before Joseph. + +** Genesis 43:16 + +And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon. + +** Genesis 43:17 + +He did as he was commanded, and brought the men into the house. + +** Genesis 43:18 + +And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses. + +** Genesis 43:19 + +Wherefore, going up to the steward of the house, at the door, + +** Genesis 43:20 + +They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us. We came down once before to buy food: + +** Genesis 43:21 + +And when we had bought, and were come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight. + +** Genesis 43:22 + +And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags. + +** Genesis 43:23 + +But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them. + +** Genesis 43:24 + +And having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses. + +** Genesis 43:25 + +But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there. + +** Genesis 43:26 + +Then Joseph came in to his house, and they offered him the presents, holding them in their hands; and they bowed down with their face to the ground. + +** Genesis 43:27 + +But he courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living? + +** Genesis 43:28 + +And they answered: Thy servant our father, is in health; he is yet living. And bowing themselves, they made obeisance to him. + +** Genesis 43:29 + +And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son. + +** Genesis 43:30 + +And he made haste, because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber, he wept. + +** Genesis 43:31 + +And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table. + +** Genesis 43:32 + +And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane): + +** Genesis 43:33 + +They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much; + +** Genesis 43:34 + +Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him. + +* Genesis 44 + +** Genesis 44:1 + +And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack. + +** Genesis 44:2 + +And in the mouth of the younger's sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done. + +** Genesis 44:3 + +And when the morning arose, they were sent away with their asses. + +** Genesis 44:4 + +And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way: Joseph sending for the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good? + +** Genesis 44:5 + +The cup which you have stolen, is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing. + +** Genesis 44:6 + +He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words. + +** Genesis 44:7 + +And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact? + +** Genesis 44:8 + +The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord's house, gold or silver? + +** Genesis 44:9 + +With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord. + +** Genesis 44:10 + +And he said to them: Let it be according to your sentence: with whomsoever it shall be found, let him be my servant, and you shall be blameless. + +** Genesis 44:11 + +Then they speedily took down their sacks to the ground, and every man opened his sack. + +** Genesis 44:12 + +Which when he had searched, beginning at the eldest, and ending at the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin's sack. + +** Genesis 44:13 + +Then they rent their garments, and loading their asses again, returned into the town. + +** Genesis 44:14 + +And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph (for he was not yet gone out of the place) and they all together fell down before him on the ground. + +** Genesis 44:15 + +And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining. + +** Genesis 44:16 + +And Juda said to him: What shall we answer my lord? or what shall we say, or be able justly to allege? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are all bondmen to my lord, both we, and he with whom the cup was found. + +** Genesis 44:17 + +Joseph answered: God forbid that I should do so: he that stole the cup, he shall be my bondman: and go you away free to your father. + +** Genesis 44:18 + +Then Juda coming nearer, said boldly: I beseech thee, my lord, let thy servant speak a word in thy ears, and be not angry with thy servant: for after Pharao thou art. + +** Genesis 44:19 + +My lord. Thou didst ask thy servants the first time: Have you a father or a brother. + +** Genesis 44:20 + +And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead; and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly. + +** Genesis 44:21 + +And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him. + +** Genesis 44:22 + +We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die. + +** Genesis 44:23 + +And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more. + +** Genesis 44:24 + +Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said. + +** Genesis 44:25 + +And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat. + +** Genesis 44:26 + +And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man's face. + +** Genesis 44:27 + +Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two. + +** Genesis 44:28 + +One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him; and hitherto he appeareth not. + +** Genesis 44:29 + +If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. + +** Genesis 44:30 + +Therefore, if I shall go to thy servant, our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,) + +** Genesis 44:31 + +And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. + +** Genesis 44:32 + +Let me be thy proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever. + +** Genesis 44:33 + +Therefore I, thy servant, will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren. + +** Genesis 44:34 + +For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father. + +* Genesis 45 + +** Genesis 45:1 + +Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another. + +** Genesis 45:2 + +And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians, and all the house of Pharao heard. + +** Genesis 45:3 + +And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: Is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear. + +** Genesis 45:4 + +And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. + +** Genesis 45:5 + +Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation. + +** Genesis 45:6 + +For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping. + +** Genesis 45:7 + +And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live. + +** Genesis 45:8 + +Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt. + +** Genesis 45:9 + +Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt; come down to me, linger not. + +** Genesis 45:10 + +And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast. + +** Genesis 45:11 + +And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining) lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast. + +** Genesis 45:12 + +Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you. + +** Genesis 45:13 + +You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me. + +** Genesis 45:14 + +And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck. + +** Genesis 45:15 + +And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him. + +** Genesis 45:16 + +And it was heard, and the fame was spread abroad in the king's court: The brethren of Joseph are come; and Pharao with all his family was glad. + +** Genesis 45:17 + +And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan, + +** Genesis 45:18 + +And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me; and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land. + +** Genesis 45:19 + +Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives; and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed: + +** Genesis 45:20 + +And leave nothing of your household stuff; for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours. + +** Genesis 45:21 + +And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao's commandment: and provisions for the way. + +** Genesis 45:22 + +He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, with five robes of the best: + +** Genesis 45:23 + +Sending to his father as much money and raiment; adding besides, ten he-asses, to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she-asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey. + +** Genesis 45:24 + +So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way. + +** Genesis 45:25 + +And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan, to their father Jacob. + +** Genesis 45:26 + +And they told him, saying: Joseph, thy son, is living; and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them. + +** Genesis 45:27 + +They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived, + +** Genesis 45:28 + +And he said: It is enough for me if Joseph, my son, be yet living: I will go and see him before I die. + +* Genesis 46 + +** Genesis 46:1 + +And Israel taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there to the God of his father Isaac, + +** Genesis 46:2 + +He heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: Jacob, Jacob. And he answered him: Lo, here I am. + +** Genesis 46:3 + +God said to him: I am the most mighty God of thy father; fear not, go down into Egypt, for I will make a great nation of thee there. + +** Genesis 46:4 + +I will go down with thee thither, and will bring thee back again from thence: Joseph also shall put his hands upon thy eyes. + +** Genesis 46:5 + +And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath: and his sons took him up, with their children and wives in the wagons, which Pharao had sent to carry the old man, + +** Genesis 46:6 + +And all that he had in the land of Chanaan: and he came into Egypt with all his seed; + +** Genesis 46:7 + +His sons, and grandsons, daughters, and all his offspring together. + +** Genesis 46:8 + +And these are the names of the children of Israel, that entered into Egypt, he and his children. His firstborn Ruben, + +** Genesis 46:9 + +The sons of Ruben: Henoch and Phallu, and Hesron and Charmi. + +** Genesis 46:10 + +The sons of Simeon: Jamuel and Jamin and Ahod, and Jachin and Sohar, and Saul, the son of a woman of Chanaan. + +** Genesis 46:11 + +The sons of Levi: Gerson and Caath, and Merari. + +** Genesis 46:12 + +The sons of Juda: Her and Onan, and Sela, and Phares and Zara. And Her and Onan died in the land of Chanaan. And sons were born to Phares: Hesron and Hamul. + +** Genesis 46:13 + +The sons of Issachar: Thola and Phua, and Job and Semron. + +** Genesis 46:14 + +The sons of Zabulon: Sared, and Elon, and Jahelel. + +** Genesis 46:15 + +These are the sons of Lia, whom she bore in Mesopotamia of Syria, with Dina, his daughter. All the souls of her sons and daughters, thirty-three. + +** Genesis 46:16 + +The sons of Gad: Sephion and Haggi, and Suni and Esebon, and Heri and Arodi, and Areli. + +** Genesis 46:17 + +The sons of Aser: Jamne and Jesua, and Jessuri and Beria, and Sara their sister. The sons of Beria: Heber and Melchiel. + +** Genesis 46:18 + +These are the sons of Zelpha, whom Laban gave to Lia, his daughter. And these she bore to Jacob, sixteen souls. + +** Genesis 46:19 + +The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin. + +** Genesis 46:20 + +And sons were born to Joseph, in the land of Egypt, whom Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis, bore him: Manasses and Ephraim. + +** Genesis 46:21 + +The sons of Benjamin: Bela and Bechor, and Asbel and Gera, and Naaman and Echi, and Ross and Mophim, and Ophim and Ared. + +** Genesis 46:22 + +These are the sons of Rachel, whom she bore to Jacob: all the souls, fourteen. + +** Genesis 46:23 + +The sons of Dan: Husim. + +** Genesis 46:24 + +The sons of Nephthali: Jaziel and Guni, and Jeser and Sallem. + +** Genesis 46:25 + +These are the sons of Bala, whom Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter: and these she bore to Jacob: all the souls, seven. + +** Genesis 46:26 + +All the souls that went with Jacob into Egypt, and that came out of his thigh, besides his sons' wives, sixty-six. + +** Genesis 46:27 + +And the sons of Joseph, that were born to him in the land of Egypt, two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, that entered into Egypt, were seventy. + +** Genesis 46:28 + +And he sent Juda before him to Joseph, to tell him; and that he should meet him in Gessen. + +** Genesis 46:29 + +And when he was come thither, Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet his father in the same place: and seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and embracing him, wept. + +** Genesis 46:30 + +And the father said to Joseph: Now shall I die with joy, because I have seen thy face, and leave thee alive. + +** Genesis 46:31 + +And Joseph said to his brethren, and to all his father's house: I will go up, and will tell Pharao, and will say to him: My brethren, and my father's house, that were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me: + +** Genesis 46:32 + +And the men are shepherds, and their occupation is to feed cattle; their flocks, and herds, and all they have, they have brought with them. + +** Genesis 46:33 + +And when he shall call you, and shall say: What is your occupation? + +** Genesis 46:34 + +You shall answer: We, thy servants, are shepherds, from our infancy until now, both we and our fathers. And this you shall say, that you may dwell in the land of Gessen, because the Egyptians have all shepherds in abomination. + +* Genesis 47 + +** Genesis 47:1 + +Then Joseph went in and told Pharao, saying: My father and brethren, their sheep and their herds, and all that they possess, are come out of the land of Chanaan: and behold they stay in the land of Gessen. + +** Genesis 47:2 + +Five men also, the last of his brethren, he presented before the king: + +** Genesis 47:3 + +And he asked them: What is your occupation? They answered: We, thy servants, are shepherds, both we and our fathers. + +** Genesis 47:4 + +We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen. + +** Genesis 47:5 + +The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee. + +** Genesis 47:6 + +The land of Egypt is before thee: and make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen.

though we speak thus. + +** Hebrews 6:10 + +For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do minister to the saints. + +** Hebrews 6:11 + +And we desire that every one of you shew forth the same carefulness to the accomplishing of hope unto the end: + +** Hebrews 6:12 + +That you become not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience shall inherit the promises. + +** Hebrews 6:13 + +For God making promises to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself, + +** Hebrews 6:14 + +Saying: Unless blessing I shall bless thee and multiplying I shall multiply thee. + +** Hebrews 6:15 + +And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise. + +** Hebrews 6:16 + +For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy. + +** Hebrews 6:17 + +Wherein God, meaning more abundantly to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed an oath: + +** Hebrews 6:18 + +That by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, we who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us. + +** Hebrews 6:19 + +Which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and which entereth in even within the veil: + +** Hebrews 6:20 + +Where the forerunner Jesus is entered for us, made a high priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. + +* Hebrews 7 + +** Hebrews 7:1 + +For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him: + +** Hebrews 7:2 + +To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace: + +** Hebrews 7:3 + +Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but likened unto the Son of God, continueth a priest for ever. + +** Hebrews 7:4 + +Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things. + +** Hebrews 7:5 + +And indeed they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is to say, of their brethren: though they themselves also came out of the loins of Abraham. + +** Hebrews 7:6 + +But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises. + +** Hebrews 7:7 + +And without all contradiction, that which is less is blessed by the better. + +** Hebrews 7:8 + +And here indeed, men that die receive tithes: but there, he hath witness that he liveth. + +** Hebrews 7:9 + +And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes paid tithes in Abraham: + +** Hebrews 7:10 + +For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him. + +** Hebrews 7:11 + +If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron? + +** Hebrews 7:12 + +For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law, + +** Hebrews 7:13 + +For he of whom these things are spoken is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar. + +** Hebrews 7:14 + +For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. + +** Hebrews 7:15 + +And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest, + +** Hebrews 7:16 + +Who is made, not according to the law of a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. + +** Hebrews 7:17 + +For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. + +** Hebrews 7:18 + +There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof: + +** Hebrews 7:19 + +For the law brought nothing to perfection: but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God. + +** Hebrews 7:20 + +And inasmuch as it is not without an oath (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath: + +** Hebrews 7:21 + +But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever). + +** Hebrews 7:22 + +By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament. + +** Hebrews 7:23 + +And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue: + +** Hebrews 7:24 + +But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood: + +** Hebrews 7:25 + +Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us. + +** Hebrews 7:26 + +For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens: + +** Hebrews 7:27 + +Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, in offering himself. + +** Hebrews 7:28 + +For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath (which was since the law) the Son who is perfected for evermore. + +* Hebrews 8 + +** Hebrews 8:1 + +Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such an high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of majesty in the heavens, + +** Hebrews 8:2 + +A minister of the holies and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, and not man. + +** Hebrews 8:3 + +For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer. + +** Hebrews 8:4 + +If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law. + +** Hebrews 8:5 + +Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount. + +** Hebrews 8:6 + +But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament which is established on better promises. + +** Hebrews 8:7 + +For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second. + +** Hebrews 8:8 + +For, finding fault with them, he saith: Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect, unto the house of Israel and unto the house of Juda, a new testament: + +** Hebrews 8:9 + +Not according to the testament which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. + +** Hebrews 8:10 + +For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind: and in their heart will I write them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people. + +** Hebrews 8:11 + +And they shall not teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord. For all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them. + +** Hebrews 8:12 + +Because I will be merciful to their iniquities: and their sins I will remember no more. + +** Hebrews 8:13 + +Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old is near its end. + +* Hebrews 9 + +** Hebrews 9:1 + +The former indeed had also justifications of divine service and a sanctuary. + +** Hebrews 9:2 + +For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks and the table and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the Holy. + +** Hebrews 9:3 + +And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies: + +** Hebrews 9:4 + +Having a golden censer and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna and the rod of Aaron that had blossomed and the tables of the testament. + +** Hebrews 9:5 + +And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly. + +** Hebrews 9:6 + +Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle, the priests indeed always entered, accomplishing the offices of sacrifices. + +** Hebrews 9:7 + +But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance: + +** Hebrews 9:8 + +The Holy Ghost signifying this: That the way into the Holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing. + +** Hebrews 9:9 + +Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks, + +** Hebrews 9:10 + +And divers washings and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction. + +** Hebrews 9:11 + +But Christ, being come an high Priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hand, that is, not of this creation: + +** Hebrews 9:12 + +Neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. + +** Hebrews 9:13 + +For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer, being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: + +** Hebrews 9:14 + +How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God? + +** Hebrews 9:15 + +And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. + +** Hebrews 9:16 + +For where there is a testament the death of the testator must of necessity come in. + +** Hebrews 9:17 + +For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth. + +** Hebrews 9:18 + +Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood. + +** Hebrews 9:19 + +For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people. + +** Hebrews 9:20 + +Saying: This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. + +** Hebrews 9:21 + +The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood. + +** Hebrews 9:22 + +And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission. + +** Hebrews 9:23 + +It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. + +** Hebrews 9:24 + +For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us. + +** Hebrews 9:25 + +Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies every year with the blood of others: + +** Hebrews 9:26 + +For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself. + +** Hebrews 9:27 + +And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment: + +** Hebrews 9:28 + +So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation. + +* Hebrews 10 + +** Hebrews 10:1 + +For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect. + +** Hebrews 10:2 + +For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer. + +** Hebrews 10:3 + +But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year: + +** Hebrews 10:4 + +For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away. + +** Hebrews 10:5 + +Wherefore, when he cometh into the world he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me. + +** Hebrews 10:6 + +Holocausts for sin did not please thee. + +** Hebrews 10:7 + +Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God. + +** Hebrews 10:8 + +In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law. + +** Hebrews 10:9 + +Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth. + +** Hebrews 10:10 + +In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once. + +** Hebrews 10:11 + +And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering and often offering the same sacrifices which can never take away sins. + +** Hebrews 10:12 + +But this man, offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God, + +** Hebrews 10:13 + +From henceforth expecting until his enemies be made his footstool. + +** Hebrews 10:14 + +For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. + +** Hebrews 10:15 + +And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said: + +** Hebrews 10:16 + +And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts and on their minds will I write them: + +** Hebrews 10:17 + +And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more. + +** Hebrews 10:18 + +Now, where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin. + +** Hebrews 10:19 + +Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the holies by the blood of Christ: + +** Hebrews 10:20 + +A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh: + +** Hebrews 10:21 + +And a high priest over the house of God: + +** Hebrews 10:22 + +Let us draw near with a true heart, in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with clean water. + +** Hebrews 10:23 + +Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised): + +** Hebrews 10:24 + +And let us consider one another, to provoke unto charity and to good works: + +** Hebrews 10:25 + +Not forsaking our assembly, as some are accustomed: but comforting one anther, and so much the more as you see the day approaching. + +** Hebrews 10:26 + +For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins: + +** Hebrews 10:27 + +But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries. + +** Hebrews 10:28 + +A man making void the law of Moses dieth without any mercy under two or three witnesses: + +** Hebrews 10:29 + +How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace? + +** Hebrews 10:30 + +For we know him that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people. + +** Hebrews 10:31 + +It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. + +** Hebrews 10:32 + +But call to mind the former days, wherein, being illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions. + +** Hebrews 10:33 + +And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations, were made a gazingstock; and on the other, became companions of them that were used in such sort. + +** Hebrews 10:34 + +For you both had compassion on them that were in bands and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance. + +** Hebrews 10:35 + +Do not therefore lose your confidence which hath a great reward. + +** Hebrews 10:36 + +For patience is necessary for you: that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise. + +** Hebrews 10:37 + +For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come will come and will not delay. + +** Hebrews 10:38 + +But my just man liveth by faith: but if he withdraw himself, he shall not please my soul. + +** Hebrews 10:39 + +But we are not the children of withdrawing unto perdition, but of faith to the saving of the soul. + +* Hebrews 11 + +** Hebrews 11:1 + +Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not. + +** Hebrews 11:2 + +For by this the ancients obtained a testimony. + +** Hebrews 11:3 + +By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God: that from invisible things visible things might be made. + +** Hebrews 11:4 + +By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts. And by it he being dead yet speaketh. + +** Hebrews 11:5 + +By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God. + +** Hebrews 11:6 + +But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him. + +** Hebrews 11:7 + +By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house: by the which he condemned the world and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith. + +** Hebrews 11:8 + +By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went. + +** Hebrews 11:9 + +By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. + +** Hebrews 11:10 + +For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God. + +** Hebrews 11:11 + +By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised, + +** Hebrews 11:12 + +For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. + +** Hebrews 11:13 + +All these died according to faith, not having received the promises but beholding them afar off and saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth. + +** Hebrews 11:14 + +For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country. + +** Hebrews 11:15 + +And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless, time to return. + +** Hebrews 11:16 + +But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. + +** Hebrews 11:17 + +By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, + +** Hebrews 11:18 + +(To whom it was said: In Isaac shalt thy seed be called:) + +** Hebrews 11:19 + +Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable. + +** Hebrews 11:20 + +By faith also of things to come Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau. + +** Hebrews 11:21 + +By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and adored the top of his rod. + +** Hebrews 11:22 + +By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones. + +** Hebrews 11:23 + +By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents: because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict. + +** Hebrews 11:24 + +By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter: + +** Hebrews 11:25 + +Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God than to have the pleasure of sin for a time: + +** Hebrews 11:26 + +Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward. + +** Hebrews 11:27 + +By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that is invisible. + +** Hebrews 11:28 + +By faith he celebrated the pasch and the shedding of the blood: that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them. + +** Hebrews 11:29 + +By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up. + +** Hebrews 11:30 + +By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the going round them seven days. + +** Hebrews 11:31 + +By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace. + +** Hebrews 11:32 + +And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets: + +** Hebrews 11:33 + +Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, + +** Hebrews 11:34 + +Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners. + +** Hebrews 11:35 + +Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection. + +** Hebrews 11:36 + +And others had trial of mockeries and stripes: moreover also of bands and prisons. + +** Hebrews 11:37 + +They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted: + +** Hebrews 11:38 + +Of whom the world was not worthy: wandering in deserts, in mountains and in dens and in caves of the earth. + +** Hebrews 11:39 + +And all these, being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise: + +** Hebrews 11:40 + +God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us. + +* Hebrews 12 + +** Hebrews 12:1 + +And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us: + +** Hebrews 12:2 + +Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who, having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God. + +** Hebrews 12:3 + +For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. + +** Hebrews 12:4 + +For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. + +** Hebrews 12:5 + +And you have forgotten the consolation which speaketh to you, as unto children, saying: My son, neglect not the discipline of the Lord: neither be thou wearied whilst thou art rebuked by him. + +** Hebrews 12:6 + +For whom the Lord loveth he chastiseth: and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. + +** Hebrews 12:7 + +Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons. For what son is there whom the father doth not correct? + +** Hebrews 12:8 + +But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are made partakers, then are you bastards and not sons. + +** Hebrews 12:9 + +Moreover, we have had fathers of our flesh for instructors, and we reverenced them. Shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits and live? + +** Hebrews 12:10 + +And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification. + +** Hebrews 12:11 + +Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield to them that are exercised by it the most peaceable fruit of justice. + +** Hebrews 12:12 + +Wherefore, lift up the hands which hang down and the feeble knees: + +** Hebrews 12:13 + +And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed. + +** Hebrews 12:14 + +Follow peace with all men and holiness: without which no man shall see God. + +** Hebrews 12:15 + +Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God: lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder and by it many be defiled: + +** Hebrews 12:16 + +Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau who for one mess sold his first birthright. + +** Hebrews 12:17 + +For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected. For he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it. + +** Hebrews 12:18 + +For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched and a burning fire and a whirlwind and darkness and storm, + +** Hebrews 12:19 + +And the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, which they that had excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them. + +** Hebrews 12:20 + +For they did not endure that which was said: and if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned. + +** Hebrews 12:21 + +And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble. + +** Hebrews 12:22 + +But you are come to mount Sion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels, + +** Hebrews 12:23 + +And to the church of the firstborn who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, + +** Hebrews 12:24 + +And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel. + +** Hebrews 12:25 + +See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon earth, much more shall not we that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven. + +** Hebrews 12:26 + +Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more: and I will move, not only the earth, but heaven also. + +** Hebrews 12:27 + +And in that he saith: Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable. + +** Hebrews 12:28 + +Therefore, receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace: whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence. + +** Hebrews 12:29 + +For our God is a consuming fire. + +* Hebrews 13 + +** Hebrews 13:1 + +Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you. + +** Hebrews 13:2 + +And hospitality do not forget: for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels. + +** Hebrews 13:3 + +Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them: and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body. + +** Hebrews 13:4 + +Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled.

sword, which I shall send among them. + +** Jeremiah 25:17 + +And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord, and I presented it to all the nations to drink of it, to which the Lord sent me: + +** Jeremiah 25:18 + +To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof: to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse, as it is at this day. + +** Jeremiah 25:19 + +Pharao the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people, + +** Jeremiah 25:20 + +And all in general: all the kings of the land of Ausitis, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus. + +** Jeremiah 25:21 + +And Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon. + +** Jeremiah 25:22 + +And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon: and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea. + +** Jeremiah 25:23 + +And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have their hair cut round. + +** Jeremiah 25:24 + +And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, that dwell in the desert. + +** Jeremiah 25:25 + +And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes: + +** Jeremiah 25:26 + +And all the kings of the north far and near, every one against his brother: and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face thereof: and the king of Sesac shall drink after them. + +** Jeremiah 25:27 + +And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit: and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I shall send among you. + +** Jeremiah 25:28 + +And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Drinking you shall drink: + +** Jeremiah 25:29 + +For behold I begin to bring evil on the city wherein my name is called upon: and shall you be as innocent and escape free? you shall not escape free: for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts. + +** Jeremiah 25:30 + +And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words, and thou shalt say to them: I The Lord shall roar from on high, and shall utter his voice from his holy habitation: roaring he shall roar upon the place of his beauty: the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out against all the inhabitants of the earth. + +** Jeremiah 25:31 + +The noise is come even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord entereth into judgment with the nations: he entereth into judgment with all flesh; the wicked I have delivered up to the sword, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 25:32 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation: and a great whirlwind shall go forth from the ends of the earth. + +** Jeremiah 25:33 + +And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth. + +** Jeremiah 25:34 + +Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels. + +** Jeremiah 25:35 + +And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves. + +** Jeremiah 25:36 + +A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath wasted their pastures. + +** Jeremiah 25:37 + +And the fields of peace have been silent because of the fierce anger of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 25:38 + +He hath forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger of the Lord. + +* Jeremiah 26 + +** Jeremiah 26:1 + +In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, came this word from the Lord, saying: + +** Jeremiah 26:2 + +Thus saith the Lord: stand in the court of the house of the Lord, and speak to all the cities of Juda, out of which they come, to adore in the house of the Lord, all the words which I have commanded thee to speak unto them: leave not out one word. + +** Jeremiah 26:3 + +If so be they will hearken and be converted every one from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil that I think to do unto them for the wickedness of their doings. + +** Jeremiah 26:4 + +And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If you will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have given you: + +** Jeremiah 26:5 + +To give ear to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you rising up early: and sending, and you have not hearkened: + +** Jeremiah 26:6 + +I will make this house like Silo: and I will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. + +** Jeremiah 26:7 + +And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 26:8 + +And when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests, and the prophets, and all the people laid hold on him, saying: Let him be put to death. + +** Jeremiah 26:9 + +Why hath he prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying: This house shall be like Silo; and this city shall be made desolate, without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered together against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 26:10 + +And the princes of Juda heard these words: and they went up from the king's house into the house of the Lord, and sat in the entry of the new gate of the house of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 26:11 + +And the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying: The judgment of death is for this man: because he hath prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears. + +** Jeremiah 26:12 + +Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes, and to all the people, saying: The Lord sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city all the words that you have heard. + +** Jeremiah 26:13 + +Now therefore amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God: and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath spoken against you. + +** Jeremiah 26:14 + +But as for me, behold I am in your hands: do with me what is good and right in your eyes: + +** Jeremiah 26:15 + +But know ye, and understand, that if you put me to death, you will shed innocent blood against your own selves, and against this city, and the inhabitants thereof. For in truth the Lord sent me to you, to speak all these words in your hearing. + +** Jeremiah 26:16 + +Then the princes, and all the people said to the priests, and to the prophets: There is no judgment of death for this man: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God. + +** Jeremiah 26:17 + +And some of the ancients of the land rose up: and they spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying: + +** Jeremiah 26:18 + +Micheas of Morasthi was a prophet in the days of Ezechias king of Juda, and he spoke to all the people of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Sion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall be a heap of stones: and the mountain of the house the high places of woods. + +** Jeremiah 26:19 + +Did Ezechias king of Juda, and all Juda, condemn him to death? did they not fear the Lord, and beseech the face of the Lord: and the Lord repented of the evil that he had spoken against them? therefore we are doing a great evil against our souls. + +** Jeremiah 26:20 + +There was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Semei of Cariathiarim: and he prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah. + +** Jeremiah 26:21 + +And Joakim, and all his men in power, and his princes heard these words: and the king sought to put him to death. And Urias heard it, and was afraid, and fled and went into Egypt. + +** Jeremiah 26:22 + +And king Joakim sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achobor, and men with him into Egypt. + +** Jeremiah 26:23 + +And they brought Urias out of Egypt: and brought him to king Joakim, and he slew him with the sword: and he cast his dead body into the graves of the common people. + +** Jeremiah 26:24 + +So the hand of Ahicam the son of Saphan was with Jeremiah, that he should not be delivered into the hands of the people, to put him to death. + +* Jeremiah 27 + +** Jeremiah 27:1 + +In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: + +** Jeremiah 27:2 + +Thus saith the Lord to me: Make thee bands, and chains: and thou shalt put them on thy neck. + +** Jeremiah 27:3 + +And thou shalt send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon: by the hand of the messengers that are come to Jerusalem to Sedecias the king of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 27:4 + +And thou shalt command them to speak to their masters: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters: + +** Jeremiah 27:5 + +I made the earth, and the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power, and by my stretched out arm: and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my eyes. + +** Jeremiah 27:6 + +And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon my servant: moreover also the beasts of the field I have given him to serve him. + +** Jeremiah 27:7 + +And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son: till the time come for his land and himself: and many nations and great kings shall serve him. + +** Jeremiah 27:8 + +But the nation and kingdom that will not serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and whosoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon: I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, saith the Lord: till I consume them by his hand. + +** Jeremiah 27:9 + +Therefore hearken not to your prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 27:10 + +For they prophesy lies to you: to remove you far from your country, and cast you out, and to make you perish. + +** Jeremiah 27:11 + +But the nation that shall bend down their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and shall serve him: I will let them remain in their own land, saith the Lord: and they shall till it, and dwell in it. + +** Jeremiah 27:12 + +And I spoke to Sedecias the king of Juda according to all these words, saying: Bend down your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, and his people, and you shall live. + +** Jeremiah 27:13 + +Why will you die, thou and thy people by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? + +** Jeremiah 27:14 + +Hearken not to the words of the prophets that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they tell you a lie. + +** Jeremiah 27:15 + +For I have not sent them, saith the Lord: and they prophesy in my name falsely: to drive you out, and that you may perish, both you, and the prophets that prophesy to you. + +** Jeremiah 27:16 + +I spoke also to the priests, and to this people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Hearken not to the words of your prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of the Lord shall now in a short time be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. + +** Jeremiah 27:17 + +Therefore hearken not to them, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why should this city be given up to desolation? + +** Jeremiah 27:18 + +But if they be prophets, and the word of the Lord be in them: let them interpose themselves before the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which were left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 27:19 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea, and to the bases, and to the rest of the vessels that remain in this city: + +** Jeremiah 27:20 + +Which Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the great men of Juda and Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 27:21 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda and Jerusalem: + +** Jeremiah 27:22 + +They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day of their visitation, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to be brought, and to be restored in this place. + +* Jeremiah 28 + +** Jeremiah 28:1 + +And it came to pass in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananias the son of Azur, a prophet of Gabaon spoke to me, in the house of the Lord before the priests, and all the people, saying: + +** Jeremiah 28:2 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 28:3 + +As yet two years of days, and I will cause all the vessels of the house of the Lord to be brought back into this place, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 28:4 + +And I will bring back to this place Jechonias the son of Joakim king of Juda, and all the captives of Juda, that are gone to Babylon, saith the Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 28:5 + +And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananias the prophet in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord: + +** Jeremiah 28:6 + +And Jeremiah the prophet said: Amen, the Lord do so: the Lord perform thy words, which thou hast prophesied: that the vessels may be brought again into the house of the Lord, and all the captives may return out of Babylon to this place. + +** Jeremiah 28:7 + +Nevertheless hear this word that I speak in thy ears, and in the ears of all the people: + +** Jeremiah 28:8 + +The prophets that have been before me, and before thee from the beginning, and have prophesied concerning many countries, and concerning great kingdoms, of war, and of affliction, and of famine. + +** Jeremiah 28:9 + +The prophet that prophesied peace: when his word shall come to pass, the prophet shall be known, whom the hath sent in truth. + +** Jeremiah 28:10 + +And Hananias the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it. + +** Jeremiah 28:11 + +And Hananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Even so will I break the yoke of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon after two full years from off the neck of all the nations. + +** Jeremiah 28:12 + +And Jeremiah the prophet went his way. And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after that Hananias the prophet had broken the chain from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying: + +** Jeremiah 28:13 + +Go, and tell Hananias: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast broken chains of wood, and thou shalt make for them chains of iron. + +** Jeremiah 28:14 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, to serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and they shall serve him: moreover also I have given him the beasts of the earth. + +** Jeremiah 28:15 + +And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananias the prophet: Hear now, Hananias: the Lord hath not sent thee, and thou hast made this people to trust in a lie. + +** Jeremiah 28:16 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die: for thou hast spoken against the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 28:17 + +And Hananias the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month. + +* Jeremiah 29 + +** Jeremiah 29:1 + +Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the ancients that were carried into captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon: + +** Jeremiah 29:2 + +After that Jechonias the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Juda, and of Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the engravers were departed out of Jerusalem: + +** Jeremiah 29:3 + +By the hand of Elasa the son of Saphan, and Gamarias the son of Helcias, whom Sedecias king of Juda sent to Babylon to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, saying: + +** Jeremiah 29:4 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon: + +** Jeremiah 29:5 + +Build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant orchards, and eat the fruit of them. + +** Jeremiah 29:6 + +Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters: and be ye multiplied there, and be not few in number. + +** Jeremiah 29:7 + +And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be carried away captives; and pray to the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall be your peace. + +** Jeremiah 29:8 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners deceive you: and give no heed to your dreams which you dream: + +** Jeremiah 29:9 + +For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: and I have not sent them, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 29:10 + +For thus saith the Lord: When the seventy years shall begin to be accomplished in Babylon, I will visit you: and I will perform my good word in your favour, to bring you again to this place. + +** Jeremiah 29:11 + +For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of affliction, to give you an end and patience. + +** Jeremiah 29:12 + +And you shall call upon me, and you shall go. and you shall pray to me, and I will hear you. + +** Jeremiah 29:13 + +You shall seek me, and shall find me: when you shall seek me with all your heart. + +** Jeremiah 29:14 + +And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away captive. + +** Jeremiah 29:15 + +Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon: + +** Jeremiah 29:16 + +For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity. + +** Jeremiah 29:17 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will send upon them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and I will make them like bad figs that cannot be eaten, because they are very bad. + +** Jeremiah 29:18 + +And I will persecute them with the sword, and with famine, and with the pestilence: and I will give them up unto affliction to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach to all the nations to which I have driven them out: + +** Jeremiah 29:19 + +Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord: which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising by night, and sending: and you have not heard, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 29:20 + +Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent out from Jerusalem to Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 29:21 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to Achab the son of Colias, and to Sedecias the son of Maasias, who prophesy unto you in my name falsely: Behold I will deliver them up into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon: and he shall kill them before your eyes. + +** Jeremiah 29:22 + +And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Juda, that are in Babylon, saying: The Lord make thee like Sedecias, and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire: + +** Jeremiah 29:23 + +Because they have acted folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I commanded them not: I am the judge and the witness, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 29:24 + +And to Semeias the Nehelamite thou shalt say: + +** Jeremiah 29:25 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest, and to all the priests, saying: + +** Jeremiah 29:26 + +The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Joiada the priest, that thou shouldst be ruler in the house of the Lord, over every man that raveth and prophesieth, to put him in the stocks, and into prison. + +** Jeremiah 29:27 + +And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite, who prophesieth to you? + +** Jeremiah 29:28 + +For he hath also sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time: build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them. + +** Jeremiah 29:29 + +So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet. + +** Jeremiah 29:30 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 29:31 + +Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the Lord to Semeias the Nehelamite: Because Semeias hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not: and hath caused you to trust in a lie: + +** Jeremiah 29:32 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord: behold I will visit upon Semeias the Nehelamite, and upon his seed: he shall not have a man to sit in the midst of this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, saith the Lord: because he hath spoken treason against the Lord. + +* Jeremiah 30 + +** Jeremiah 30:1 + +This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: + +** Jeremiah 30:2 + +Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee, in a book. + +** Jeremiah 30:3 + +For behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. + +** Jeremiah 30:4 + +And these are the words that the Lord hath spoken to Israel and to Juda: + +** Jeremiah 30:5 + +For thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice of terror: there is fear and no peace. + +** Jeremiah 30:6 + +Ask ye, and see if a man bear children? why then have I seen every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in labour, and all faces are turned yellow? + +** Jeremiah 30:7 + +Alas, for that day is great, neither is there the like to it; and it is the time of tribulation to Jacob, but he shall be saved out of it. + +** Jeremiah 30:8 + +And 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 his bands: and strangers shall no more rule over him: + +** Jeremiah 30:9 + +But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them. + +** Jeremiah 30:10 + +Therefore fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from a country afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and be at rest, and abound with all good things, and there shall be none whom he may fear: + +** Jeremiah 30:11 + +For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: for I will utterly consume all the nations, among which I have scattered thee: but I will not utterly consume thee: but I will chastise thee in judgment, that thou mayst not seem to thyself innocent. + +** Jeremiah 30:12 + +For thus saith the Lord: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is very grievous. + +** Jeremiah 30:13 + +There is none to judge thy judgment to bind it up: thou hast no healing medicines. + +** Jeremiah 30:14 + +All thy lovers have forgotten thee, and will not seek after thee: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with cruel chastisement: by reason of the multitude of thy iniquities, thy sins are hardened. + +** Jeremiah 30:15 + +Why criest thou for thy affliction? thy sorrow is incurable: for the multitude of thy iniquity, and for thy hardened sins I have done these things to thee. + +** Jeremiah 30:16 + +Therefore all they that devour thee, shall be devoured: and all thy enemies shall be carried into captivity: and they that waste thee shall be wasted, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. + +** Jeremiah 30:17 + +For I will close up thy scar, and will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. Because they have called thee, O Sion, an outcast: This is she that hath none to seek after her. + +** Jeremiah 30:18 + +Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring back the captivity of the pavilions of Jacob, and will have pity on his houses, and the city shall be built in her high place, and the temple shall be founded according to the order thereof. + +** Jeremiah 30:19 + +And out of them shall come forth praise, and the voice of them that play: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be made few: and I will glorify them, and they shall not be lessened. + +** Jeremiah 30:20 + +And their children shall be as from the beginning, and their assembly shall be permanent before me: and I will visit against all that afflict them. + +** Jeremiah 30:21 + +And their leader shall be of themselves: and their prince shall come forth from the midst of them: and I will bring him near, and he shall come to me: for who is this that setteth his heart to approach to me, saith the Lord? + +** Jeremiah 30:22 + +And you shall be my people: and I will be your God. + +** Jeremiah 30:23 + +Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a violent storm, it shall rest upon the head of the wicked. + +** Jeremiah 30:24 + +The Lord will not turn away the wrath of his indignation, till he have executed and performed the thought of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand these things. + +* Jeremiah 31 + +** Jeremiah 31:1 + +At that time, saith the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. + +** Jeremiah 31:2 + +Thus saith the Lord: The people that were left and escaped from the sword, found grace in the desert: Israel shall go to his rest. + +** Jeremiah 31:3 + +The Lord hath appeared from afar to me. Yea I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee. + +** Jeremiah 31:4 + +And I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. + +** Jeremiah 31:5 + +Thou shalt yet plant vineyards in the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and they shall not gather the vintage before the time. + +** Jeremiah 31:6 + +For there shall be a day, in which the watchmen on mount Ephraim, shall cry: Arise, and let us go up to Sion to the Lord our God. + +** Jeremiah 31:7 + +For thus saith the Lord: Rejoice ye in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles: shout ye, and sing, and say: Save, O Lord, thy people, the remnant of Israel. + +** Jeremiah 31:8 + +Behold I will bring them from the north country, and will gather them from the ends of the earth and among them shall be the blind, and the lame, the woman with child, and she that is bringing forth, together, a great company of them returning hither. + +** Jeremiah 31:9 + +They shall come with weeping: and I will bring them back in mercy: and I will bring them through the torrents of waters in a right way, and they shall not stumble in it: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. + +** Jeremiah 31:10 + +Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock. + +** Jeremiah 31:11 + +For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he. + +** Jeremiah 31:12 + +And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord, for the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds, and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more. + +** Jeremiah 31:13 + +Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow. + +** Jeremiah 31:14 + +And I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness: and my people shall be filled with my good things, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 31:15 + +Thus saith the Lord: A voice was heard on high of lamentation, of mourning, and weeping, of Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted for them, because they are not. + +** Jeremiah 31:16 + +Thus saith the Lord: Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thy eyes tears: for there is a reward for thy work, saith the Lord: and they shall return out of the land of the enemy. + +** Jeremiah 31:17 + +And there is hope for thy last end, saith the Lord: and the children shall return to their own borders. + +** Jeremiah 31:18 + +Hearing I heard Ephraim when he went into captivity: thou hast chastised me, and I was instructed, as a young bullock unaccustomed to the yoke. Convert me, and I shall be converted, for thou art the Lord my God. + +** Jeremiah 31:19 + +For after thou didst convert me, I did penance: and after thou didst shew unto me, I struck my thigh: I am confounded and ashamed, because I have borne the reproach of my youth. + +** Jeremiah 31:20 + +Surely Ephraim is an honourable son to me, surely he is a tender child: for since I spoke of him, I will still remember him. Therefore are my bowels troubled for him: pitying I will pity him, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 31:21 + +Set thee up a watchtower, make to thee bitterness: direct thy heart into the right way, wherein thou hast walked: return, O virgin of Israel, return to these thy cities. + +** Jeremiah 31:22 + +How long wilt thou be dissolute in deliciousness, O wandering daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing upon the earth: A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN. + +** Jeremiah 31:23 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As yet shall they say this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring back their captivity: The Lord bless thee, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain. + +** Jeremiah 31:24 + +And Juda and all his cities shall dwell therein together: the husbandman and they that drive the flocks. + +** Jeremiah 31:25 + +For I have inebriated the weary soul: and I have filled every hungry soul. + +** Jeremiah 31:26 + +Upon this I was as it were awaked out of a sleep, and I saw, and my sleep was sweet to me. + +** Jeremiah 31:27 + +Behold the days come, saith the Lord: and I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of beasts. + +** Jeremiah 31:28 + +And as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to throw down, and to scatter, and destroy, and afflict: so will I watch over them, to build up, and to plant them, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 31:29 + +In those days they shall say no more: The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the teeth of the children are set on edge. + +** Jeremiah 31:30 + +But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that shall eat the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. + +** Jeremiah 31:31 + +Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda: + +** Jeremiah 31:32 + +Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the covenant which they made void, and I had dominion over them, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 31:33 + +But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my law in their bowels, and I will write it in their heart: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. + +** Jeremiah 31:34 + +And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the least of them even to the greatest, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. + +** Jeremiah 31:35 + +Thus saith the Lord, who giveth the sun for the light of the day, the order of the moon and of the stars, for the light of the night: who stirreth up the sea, and the waves thereof roar, the Lord of hosts is his name. + +** Jeremiah 31:36 + +If these ordinances shall fail before me, saith the Lord: then also the seed of Israel shall fail, so as not to be a nation before me for ever. + +** Jeremiah 31:37 + +Thus saith the Lord: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I also will cast away all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 31:38 + +Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hanameel even to the gate of the corner. + +** Jeremiah 31:39 + +And the measuring line shall go out farther in his sight upon the hill Gareb: and it shall compass Goatha, + +** Jeremiah 31:40 + +And the whole valley of dead bodies, and of ashes, and all the country of death, even to the torrent Cedron, and to the corner of the horse gate towards the east, the Holy of the Lord: it shall not be plucked up, and it shall not be destroyed any more for ever. + +* Jeremiah 32 + +** Jeremiah 32:1 + +The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Sedecias king of Juda: the same is the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor. + +** Jeremiah 32:2 + +At that time the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 32:3 + +For Sedecias king of Juda had shut him up, saying: Why dost thou prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it? + +** Jeremiah 32:4 + +And Sedecias king of Juda shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans: but he shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon: and he shall speak to him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes. + +** Jeremiah 32:5 + +And he shall lead Sedecias to Babylon: and he shall be there till I visit him, saith the Lord. But if you will fight against the Chaldeans, you shall have no success. + +** Jeremiah 32:6 + +And Jeremiah said: The word of the Lord came to me, saying: + +** Jeremiah 32:7 + +Behold, Hanameel the son of Sellum thy cousin shall come to thee, saying: Buy thee my field, which is in Anathoth, for it is thy right to buy it, being next akin. + +** Jeremiah 32:8 + +And Hanameel my uncle's son came to me, according to the word of the Lord, to the entry of the prison, and said to me: Buy my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and thou art next of kin to possess it. And I understood that this was the word of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 32:9 + +And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that is in Anathoth: and I weighed him the money, seven staters, and ten pieces of silver. + +** Jeremiah 32:10 + +And I wrote it in a book and sealed it, and took witnesses: and I weighed him the money in the balances. + +** Jeremiah 32:11 + +And I took the deed of the purchase that was sealed, and the stipulations, and the ratifications with the seals that were on the outside. + +** Jeremiah 32:12 + +And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neri the son of Maasias in the sight of Hanameel my uncle's son, in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, and before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. + +** Jeremiah 32:13 + +And I charged Baruch before them, saying: + +** Jeremiah 32:14 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take these writings, this deed of the purchase that is sealed up, and this deed that is open: and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days. + +** Jeremiah 32:15 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Houses, and fields, and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. + +** Jeremiah 32:16 + +And after I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying: + +** Jeremiah 32:17 + +Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, behold thou hast made heaven and earth by thy great power, and thy stretched out arm: no word shall be hard to thee: + +** Jeremiah 32:18 + +Thou shewest mercy unto thousands, and returnest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: O most mighty, great, and powerful, the Lord of hosts is thy name. + +** Jeremiah 32:19 + +Great in counsel, and incomprehensible in thought: whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of Adam, to render unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his devices. + +** Jeremiah 32:20 + +Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even until this day, and in Israel, and amongst men, and hast made thee a name as at this day. + +** Jeremiah 32:21 + +And hast brought forth thy people Israel, out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, and with great terror. + +** Jeremiah 32:22 + +And hast given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey. + +** Jeremiah 32:23 + +And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed not thy voice, and they walked not in thy law: and they did not any of those things that thou didst command them to do, and all these evils are come upon them. + +** Jeremiah 32:24 + +Behold works are built up against the city to take it: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken, is all come to pass, as thou thyself seest. + +** Jeremiah 32:25 + +And sayest thou to me, O Lord God: Buy a field for money, and take witnesses, whereas the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans? + +** Jeremiah 32:26 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 32:27 + +Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh: shall any thing be hard for me? + +** Jeremiah 32:28 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it. + +** Jeremiah 32:29 + +And the Chaldeans that fight against this city, shall come and set it on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they offered sacrifice to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath. + +** Jeremiah 32:30 + +For the children of Israel, and the children of Juda, have continually done evil in my eyes from their youth: the children of Israel who even till now provoke me with the work of their hands, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 32:31 + +For this city hath been to me a provocation and indignation from the day that they built it, until this day, in which it shall be taken out of my sight. + +** Jeremiah 32:32 + +Because of all the evil of the children of Israel, and of the children of Juda, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 32:33 + +And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces: when I taught them early in the morning, and instructed them, and they would not hearken to receive instruction. + +** Jeremiah 32:34 + +And they have set their idols in the house, in which my name is called upon, to defile it. + +** Jeremiah 32:35 + +And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to consecrate their sons and their daughters to Moloch: which I commanded them not, neither entered it into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and cause Juda to sin. + +** Jeremiah 32:36 + +And now, therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to this city, whereof you say that it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: + +** Jeremiah 32:37 + +Behold I will gather them together out of all the lands to which I have cast them out in my anger, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation: and I will bring them again into this place, and will cause them to dwell securely. + +** Jeremiah 32:38 + +And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. + +** Jeremiah 32:39 + +And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all days: and that it may be well with them, and with their children after them. + +** Jeremiah 32:40 + +And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and will not cease to do them good: and I will give my fear in their heart, that they may not revolt from me. + +** Jeremiah 32:41 + +And I will rejoice over them, when I shall do them good: and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with all my soul. + +** Jeremiah 32:42 + +For thus saith the Lord: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil: so will I bring upon them all the good that I now speak to them. + +** Jeremiah 32:43 + +And fields shall be purchased in this land: whereof you say that it is desolate, because there remaineth neither man nor beast, and it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans. + +** Jeremiah 32:44 + +Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be written, and sealed, and witnesses shall be taken, in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, in the cities of Juda, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: for I will bring back their captivity, saith the Lord. + +* Jeremiah 33 + +** Jeremiah 33:1 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: + +** Jeremiah 33:2 + +Thus saith the Lord, who will do, and will form it, and prepare it, the Lord is his name. + +** Jeremiah 33:3 + +Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will shew thee great things, and sure things which thou knowest not. + +** Jeremiah 33:4 + +For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Juda, which are destroyed, and to the bulwarks, and to the sword. + +** Jeremiah 33:5 + +Of them that come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in my wrath, and in my indignation, hiding my face from this city because of all their wickedness. + +** Jeremiah 33:6 + +Behold I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth. + +** Jeremiah 33:7 + +And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning. + +** Jeremiah 33:8 + +And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and despised me. + +** Jeremiah 33:9 + +And it shall be to me a name, and a joy, and a praise, and a gladness before all the nations of the earth, that shall hear of all the good things which I will do to them: and they shall fear and be troubled for all the good things, and for all the peace that I will make for them. + +** Jeremiah 33:10 + +Thus saith the Lord: There shall be heard again in this place (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast: in the cities of Juda, and without Jerusalem, which are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast) + +** Jeremiah 33:11 + +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: Give ye glory to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring their vows into the house of the Lord: for I will bring back the captivity of the land as at the first, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 33:12 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall be again in this place that is desolate without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. + +** Jeremiah 33:13 + +And in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: and in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda shall the flocks pass again under the hand of him that numbereth them, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 33:14 + +Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel, and to the house of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 33:15 + +In those days, and at that time, I will make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David, and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth. + +** Jeremiah 33:16 + +In those days shall Juda be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely: and this is the name that they shall call him, The Lord our just one. + +** Jeremiah 33:17 + +For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel. + +** Jeremiah 33:18 + +Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually. + +** Jeremiah 33:19 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 33:20 + +Thus saith the Lord: if my covenant, with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season: + +** Jeremiah 33:21 + +Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests my ministers. + +** Jeremiah 33:22 + +As the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers. + +** Jeremiah 33:23 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 33:24 + +Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen, are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is no more a nation before them? + +** Jeremiah 33:25 + +Thus saith the Lord. If I have not set my covenant between day and night, and laws to heaven and earth: + +** Jeremiah 33:26 + +Surely I will also cast off the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will bring back their captivity, and will have mercy on them. + +* Jeremiah 34 + +** Jeremiah 34:1 + +The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth, that were under the power of his hand, and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, saying: + +** Jeremiah 34:2 + +Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Sedecias king of Juda, and say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. + +** Jeremiah 34:3 + +And thou shalt not escape out of his hand: but thou shalt surely be taken, and thou shalt be delivered into his hand: and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 34:4 + +Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Sedecias king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword. + +** Jeremiah 34:5 + +But thou shalt die in peace, and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn thee: and they shall mourn for thee, saying: Alas, Lord: for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 34:6 + +And Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Sedecias the king of Juda in Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 34:7 + +And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda that were left, against Lachis, and against Azecha: for these remained of the cities of Juda, fenced cities. + +** Jeremiah 34:8 + +The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after that king Sedecias had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem making a proclamation: + +** Jeremiah 34:9 + +That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free: and that they should not lord it over them, to wit, over the Jews their brethren. + +** Jeremiah 34:10 + +And all the princes, and all the people who entered into the covenant, heard that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant go free, and should no more have dominion over them: and they obeyed, and let them go free. + +** Jeremiah 34:11 + +But afterwards they turned: and brought back again their servants and their handmaids, whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as menservants and maidservants. + +** Jeremiah 34:12 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: + +** Jeremiah 34:13 + +Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying: + +** Jeremiah 34:14 + +At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt let him go free from thee: and your fathers did not hearken to me, nor did they incline their ear. + +** Jeremiah 34:15 + +And you turned to day, and did that which was right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house upon which my name is invocated. + +** Jeremiah 34:16 + +And you are fallen back, and have defiled my name: and you have brought back again every man his manservant, and every man his maidservant, whom you had let go free, and set at liberty: and you have brought them into subjection to be your servants and handmaids. + +** Jeremiah 34:17 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord: You have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine: and I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth. + +** Jeremiah 34:18 + +And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, and have not performed the words of the covenant which they agreed to in my presence, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts thereof: + +** Jeremiah 34:19 + +The princes of Juda, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land that passed between the parts of the calf: + +** Jeremiah 34:20 + +And I will give them into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth. + +** Jeremiah 34:21 + +And Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes, I will give into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their lives, and into the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which are gone from you. + +** Jeremiah 34:22 + +Behold I will command, saith the Lord, and I will bring them again to this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Juda a desolation, without an inhabitant. + +* Jeremiah 35 + +** Jeremiah 35:1 + +The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, saying: + +** Jeremiah 35:2 + +Go to the house of the Rechabites: and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers of the treasures, and thou shalt give them wine to drink. + +** Jeremiah 35:3 + +And I took Jezonias the son of Jeremiah the son of Habsanias, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites. + +** Jeremiah 35:4 + +And I brought them into the house of the Lord, to the treasure house of the sons of Hanan, the son of Jegedelias the man of God, which was by the treasure house of the princes, above the treasure of Maasias the son of Sellum, who was keeper of the entry. + +** Jeremiah 35:5 + +And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups: and I said to them: Drink ye wine. + +** Jeremiah 35:6 + +And they answered : We will not drink wine: because Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying: You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your children, for ever: + +** Jeremiah 35:7 + +Neither shall ye build houses, nor sow reed, nor plant vineyards, nor have any: but you shall dwell in tents all your days, that you may live many days upon the face of the earth, in which you are strangers. + +** Jeremiah 35:8 + +Therefore we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all things that he commanded us: so as to drink no wine all our days: neither we, nor our wives, nor our sons, nor our daughters: + +** Jeremiah 35:9 + +Nor to build houses to dwell in, nor to have vineyard, or field, or seed: + +** Jeremiah 35:10 + +But we have dwelt in tents, and have been obedient according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. + +** Jeremiah 35:11 + +But when Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up to our land, we said: Come, let us go into Jerusalem from the face of the army of the Chaldeans, and from the face of the army of Syria: and we have remained in Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 35:12 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 35:13 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Will you not receive instruction, to obey my words, saith the Lord? + +** Jeremiah 35:14 + +The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, by which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have prevailed: and they have drunk none to this day, because they have obeyed the commandment of their father: but I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not obeyed me. + +** Jeremiah 35:15 + +And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending and saying: Return ye every man from his wicked way, and make your ways good: and follow not strange gods, nor worship them, and you shall dwell in the land, which I gave you and your fathers: and you have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me. + +** Jeremiah 35:16 + +So the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have constantly kept the commandment of their father, which he commanded them: but this people hath not obeyed me. + +** Jeremiah 35:17 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring upon Juda, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, and they have not heard: I have called to them, and they have not answered me. + +** Jeremiah 35:18 + +And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his precepts, and have done all that he commanded you: + +** Jeremiah 35:19 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: There shall not be wanting a man of the race of Jonadab the son of Rechab, standing before me for ever. + +* Jeremiah 36 + +** Jeremiah 36:1 + +And it came to pass in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, that this word came to Jeremiah by the Lord, saying: + +** Jeremiah 36:2 + +Take thee a roll of a book, and thou shalt write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel and Juda, and against all the nations from the day that I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias even to this day. + +** Jeremiah 36:3 + +If so be, when the house of Juda shall hear all the evils that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his wicked way: and I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin. + +** Jeremiah 36:4 + +So Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Nerias: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he spoke to him, upon the roll of a book. + +** Jeremiah 36:5 + +And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: I am shut up, and cannot go into the house of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 36:6 + +Go thou in therefore, and read out of the volume, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people in the house of the Lord on the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the hearing of all Juda that come out of their cities: + +** Jeremiah 36:7 + +If so be they may present their supplication before the Lord, and may return every one from his wicked way: for great is the wrath and indignation which the Lord hath pronounced against this people. + +** Jeremiah 36:8 + +And Baruch the son of Nerias did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet ,had commanded him, reading out of the volume the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 36:9 + +And it came to pass in the fifth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that were come together out of the cities of Juda to Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 36:10 + +And Baruch read out of the volume the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the treasury of Gamarias the son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entry of the new gate of the house of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people. + +** Jeremiah 36:11 + +And when Micheas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord, + +** Jeremiah 36:12 + +He went down into the king's house to the secretary's chamber: and behold all the princes sat there, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaias the son of Semeias, and Elnathan the son of Achobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedecias the son of Hananias, and all the princes. + +** Jeremiah 36:13 + +And Micheas told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read out of the volume in the hearing of the people. + +** Jeremiah 36:14 + +Therefore all the princes sent Judi the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, to Baruch, saying: Take in thy hand the volume in which thou hast read in the hearing of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Nerias took the volume in his hand, and came to them. + +** Jeremiah 36:15 + +And they said to him: Sit down and read these things in our hearing. And Baruch read in their hearing. + +** Jeremiah 36:16 + +And when they had heard all the words, they looked upon one another with astonishment, and they said to Baruch: We must tell the king all these words. + +** Jeremiah 36:17 + +And they asked him, saying: Tell us how didst thou write all these words from his mouth. + +** Jeremiah 36:18 + +And Baruch said to them: With his mouth he pronounced all these words as if he were reading to me: and I wrote in a volume with ink. + +** Jeremiah 36:19 + +And the princes said to Baruch: Go, and hide thee, both thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where you are. + +** Jeremiah 36:20 + +And they went in to the king into the court: but they laid up the volume in the chamber of Elisama the scribe: and they told all the words in the hearing of the king. + +** Jeremiah 36:21 + +And the king sent Judi that he should take the volume: who bringing it out of the chamber of Elisama the scribe, read it in the hearing of the king, and of all the princes that stood about the king. + +** Jeremiah 36:22 + +Now the king sat in the winter house, in the ninth month: and there was a hearth before him full of burning coals. + +** Jeremiah 36:23 + +And when Judi had read three or four pages, he cut it with the penknife, and he cast it into the fire, that was upon the hearth, till all the volume was consumed with the fire that was on the hearth. + +** Jeremiah 36:24 + +And the king and all his servants that heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they rend their garments. + +** Jeremiah 36:25 + +But yet Elnathan, and Dalaias, and Gamarias spoke to the king, not to burn the book: and he heard them not. + +** Jeremiah 36:26 + +And the king commanded Jeremiel the son of Amelech, and Saraias the son of Ezriel, and Selemias the son of Abdeel, to take up Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them. + +** Jeremiah 36:27 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, after that the king had burnt the volume, and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 36:28 + +Take thee again another volume: and write in it all the former words that were in the first volume which Joakim the king of Juda both burnt. + +** Jeremiah 36:29 + +And thou shalt say to Joakim the king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast burnt that volume, saying: Why hast thou written therein, and said: The king of Babylon shall come speedily, and shall lay waste this land: and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast? + +** Jeremiah 36:30 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord against Joakim the king of Juda: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day, and to the frost by night. + +** Jeremiah 36:31 + +And I will punish him, and his seed and his servants, for their iniquities, and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Juda all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they have not heard. + +** Jeremiah 36:32 + +And Jeremiah took another volume, and gave it to Baruch the son of Nerias the scribe: who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Joakim the king of Juda had burnt with fire: and there were added besides many more words than had been before. + +* Jeremiah 37 + +** Jeremiah 37:1 + +Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 37:2 + +But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land did obey the words of the Lord, that he spoke in the hand of Jeremiah the prophet. + +** Jeremiah 37:3 + +And king Sedecias sent Juchal the son of Selemias, and Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: Pray to the Lord our God for us. + +** Jeremiah 37:4 + +Now Jeremiah walked freely in the midst of the people: for they had not as yet cast him into prison. And the army of Pharao was come out of Egypt: and the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem, hearing these tidings, departed from Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 37:5 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: + +** Jeremiah 37:6 + +Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Juda, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold the army of Pharao, which is come forth to help you, shall return into their own land, into Egypt. + +** Jeremiah 37:7 + +And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. + +** Jeremiah 37:8 + +Thus saith the Lord: Deceive not your souls, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart and go away from us: for they shall not go away. + +** Jeremiah 37:9 + +But if you should even beat all the army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left of them some wounded men: they shall rise up, every man from his heart, and burn this city with fire. + +** Jeremiah 37:10 + +Now when the army of the Chaldeans was gone away from Jerusalem, because of Pharao's army, + +** Jeremiah 37:11 + +Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin: and to divide a possession there in the presence of the citizens, + +** Jeremiah 37:12 + +And when he was come to the gate of Benjamin, the captain of the gate, who was there in his turn, was one named Jerias, the son of Selemias, the son of Hananias: and he took hold of Jeremiah the prophet, saying: Thou art fleeing to the Chaldeans. + +** Jeremiah 37:13 + +And Jeremiah answered: It is not so, I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Jerias took Jeremiah and brought him to the princes. + +** Jeremiah 37:14 + +Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremiah, and they beat him, and cast him into the prison that was in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for he was chief over the prison. + +** Jeremiah 37:15 + +So Jeremiah went into the house of the prison, and into the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained there many days. + +** Jeremiah 37:16 + +Then Sedecias the king, sending, took him: and asked him secretly in his house, and said: Is there, thinkest thou, any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said. There is. And he said: Thou shalt be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 37:17 + +And Jeremiah said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into prison? + +** Jeremiah 37:18 + +Where are your prophets that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against this land? + +** Jeremiah 37:19 + +Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. + +** Jeremiah 37:20 + +Then king Sedecias commanded that Jeremiah should be committed into the entry of the prison: and that they should give him daily a piece of bread, beside broth, till all the bread in the city were spent: and Jeremiah remained in the entry of the prison. + +* Jeremiah 38 + +** Jeremiah 38:1 + +Now Saphatias the son of Mathan, and Gedelias the son of Phassur, and Juchal the son of Selemias, and Phassur the son of Melchias heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying: + +** Jeremiah 38:2 + +Thus saith the Lord: Whosoever shall remain in this city, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: but he that shall go forth to the Chaldeans, shall live, and his life shall be safe, and he shall live. + +** Jeremiah 38:3 + +Thus saith the Lord: This city shall surely be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it. + +** Jeremiah 38:4 + +And the princes said to the king. We beseech thee that this man may be put to death: for on purpose he weakeneth the hands of the men of war, that remain in this city, and the hands of the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man seeketh not peace to this people, but evil. + +** Jeremiah 38:5 + +And king Sedecias said: Behold he is in your hands: for it is not lawful for the king to deny you any thing. + +** Jeremiah 38:6 + +Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Melchias the son of Amelech, which was in the entry of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah by ropes into the dungeon, wherein there was no water, but mire. And Jeremiah sunk into the mire. + +** Jeremiah 38:7 + +Now Abdemelech the Ethiopian, an eunuch that was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon: but the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin. + +** Jeremiah 38:8 + +And Abdemelech went out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying: + +** Jeremiah 38:9 + +My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done against Jeremiah the prophet, casting him into the dungeon to die there with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city. + +** Jeremiah 38:10 + +Then the king commanded Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying: Take from hence thirty men with thee, and draw up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die. + +** Jeremiah 38:11 + +So Abdemelech taking the men with him, went into the king's house that was under the storehouse: and he took from thence old rags, and old rotten things, and he let them down by cords to Jeremiah into the dungeon. + +** Jeremiah 38:12 + +And Abdemelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah: Put these old rags and these rent and rotten things under thy arms, and upon the cords: and Jeremiah did so. + +** Jeremiah 38:13 + +And they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and brought him forth out of the dungeon. And Jeremiah remained in the entry of the prison. + +** Jeremiah 38:14 + +And king Sedecias sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him to the third gate, that was in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremiah: I will ask thee a thing, hide nothing from me. + +** Jeremiah 38:15 + +Then Jeremiah said to Sedecias: If I shall declare it to thee, wilt thou not put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken to me. + +** Jeremiah 38:16 + +Then king Sedecias swore to Jeremiah, in private, saying: As the Lord liveth, that, made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I deliver thee into the hands of these men that seek thy life. + +** Jeremiah 38:17 + +And Jeremiah said to Sedecias: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: If thou wilt take a resolution and go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire: and thou shalt be safe, and thy house. + +** Jeremiah 38:18 + +But if thou wilt not go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, this city shall be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand. + +** Jeremiah 38:19 + +And king Sedecias said to Jeremiah: I am afraid because of the Jews that are fled over to the Chaldeans: lest I should be delivered into their hands, and they should abuse me. + +** Jeremiah 38:20 + +But Jeremiah answered: They shall not deliver thee: hearken, I beseech thee, to the word of the Lord, which I speak to the, and it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live. + +** Jeremiah 38:21 + +But if thou wilt not go forth, this is the word which the Lord hath shewn me: + +** Jeremiah 38:22 + +Behold all the women that are left in the house of the king of Juda, shall be brought out to the princes of the king of Babylon: and they shall say: Thy men of peace have deceived thee, and have prevailed against thee, they have plunged thy feet in the mire, and in a slippery place and they have departed from thee. + +** Jeremiah 38:23 + +And all thy wives, and thy children shall be brought out to the Chaldeans, and thou shalt not escape their hands, but thou shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall burn this city with fire. + +** Jeremiah 38:24 + +Then Sedecias said to Jeremiah: Let no man know these words, and thou shalt not die. + +** Jeremiah 38:25 + +But if the princes shall hear that I have spoken with thee, and shall come to thee, and say to thee: Tell us what thou hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not kill thee: and also what the king said to thee: + +** Jeremiah 38:26 + +Thou shalt say to them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not command me to be carried back into the house of Jonathan, to die there. + +** Jeremiah 38:27 + +So all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him: and he spoke to them according to all the words that the king had commanded him: and they left him: for nothing had been heard. + +** Jeremiah 38:28 + +But Jeremiah remained in the entry of the prison, until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and it came to pass that Jerusalem was taken. + +* Jeremiah 39 + +** Jeremiah 39:1 + +In the ninth year of Sedecias king of Juda, in the tenth month, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army to Jerusalem, and they besieged it. + +** Jeremiah 39:2 + +And in the eleventh year of Sedecias, in the fourth month, the fifth day of the month, the city was opened. + +** Jeremiah 39:3 + +And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Serezer, Rebmag, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 39:4 + +And when Sedecias the king of Juda and all the men of war saw them, they fled: and they went forth in the night out of the city by the way of the king's garden, and by the gate that was between the two walls, and they went out to the way of the desert. + +** Jeremiah 39:5 + +But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them: and they took Sedecias in the plain of the desert of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him. + +** Jeremiah 39:6 + +And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias, in Reblatha, before his eyes: and the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 39:7 + +He also put out the eyes of Sedecias: and bound him with fetters, to be carried to Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 39:8 + +And the Chaldeans burnt the king's house, and the houses of the people with fire, and they threw down the wall of Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 39:9 + +And Nabuzardan the general of the army carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to him, and the rest of the people that remained. + +** Jeremiah 39:10 + +But Nabuzardan the general left some of the poor people that had nothing at all, in the land of Juda, and he gave them vineyards, and cisterns at that time. + +** Jeremiah 39:11 + +Now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had given charge to Nabuzardan the general concerning Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 39:12 + +Take him, and set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him. + +** Jeremiah 39:13 + +Therefore Nabuzardan the general sent, and Nabuzardan, and Rabsares, and Neregel, and Sereser, and Rebmag, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon, + +** Jeremiah 39:14 + +Sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, that he might go home, and dwell among the people. + +** Jeremiah 39:15 + +But the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying: + +** Jeremiah 39:16 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight in that day. + +** Jeremiah 39:17 + +And I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hands of the men whom thou fearest: + +** Jeremiah 39:18 + +But delivering, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword: but thy life shall be saved for thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. + +* Jeremiah 40 + +** Jeremiah 40:1 + +The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after that Nabuzardan the general had let him go from Rama, when he had taken him, being bound with chains, among all them that were carried away from Jerusalem and Juda, and were carried to Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 40:2 + +And the general of the army taking Jeremiah, said to him: The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place, + +** Jeremiah 40:3 + +And he hath brought it: and the Lord hath done as he hath said: because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not hearkened to his voice, and this word is come upon you. + +** Jeremiah 40:4 + +Now then behold I have loosed thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hands: if it please thee to come with me to Babylon, come: and I will set my eyes upon thee: but if it do not please thee to come with me to Babylon, stay here: behold all the land is before thee, as thou shalt choose, and whither it shall please thee to go, thither go. + +** Jeremiah 40:5 + +And come not with me: but dwell with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Juda: dwell therefore with him in the midst of the people: or whithersoever it shall please thee to go, go. And the general of the army gave him victuals and presents, and let him go. + +** Jeremiah 40:6 + +And Jeremiah went to Godolias the son of Ahicam to Masphath: and dwelt with him in the midst of the people that were left in the land. + +** Jeremiah 40:7 + +And when all the captains of the army that were scattered through the countries, they and their companions, had heard that the king of Babylon had made Godolias the son of Ahicam governor of the country, and that he had committed unto him men and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, them that had not been carried away captive to Babylon: + +** Jeremiah 40:8 + +They came to Godolias to Masphath: and Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and Johanan, and Jonathan, the sons of Caree, and Sareas the son of Thanehumeth, and the children of Ophi, that were of Netophathi, and Jezonias the son of Maachati, they and their men. + +** Jeremiah 40:9 + +And Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan swore to them and to their companions, saying: Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you. + +** Jeremiah 40:10 + +Behold I dwell in Masphath, that I may answer the commandment of the Chaldeans that are sent to us: but as for you, gather ye the vintage, and the harvest, and the oil, and lay it up in your vessels, and abide in your cities which you hold. + +** Jeremiah 40:11 + +Moreover all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and in all the countries, when they heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan ruler over them: + +** Jeremiah 40:12 + +All the Jews, I say, returned out of all the places to which they had fled, and they came into the land of Juda to Godolias to Masphath: and they gathered wine, and a very great harvest. + +** Jeremiah 40:13 + +Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the army, that had been scattered about in the countries, came to Godolias to Masphath. + +** Jeremiah 40:14 + +And they said to him: Know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ismahel the son of Nathanias to kill thee. And Godolias the son of Ahicam believed them not. + +** Jeremiah 40:15 + +But Johanan the son of Caree, spoke to Godolias privately in Masphath, saying: I will go, and I will kill Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and no man shall know it, lest he kill thee, and all the Jews be scattered, that are gathered unto thee, and the remnant of Juda perish. + +** Jeremiah 40:16 + +And Godolias the son of Ahicam said to Johanan the son of Caree: Do not this thing: for what thou sayst of Ismahel is false. + +* Jeremiah 41 + +** Jeremiah 41:1 + +And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismahel the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the royal blood, and the nobles of the king, and ten men with him, came to Godolias the son of Ahicam into Masphath: and they ate bread there together in Masphath. + +** Jeremiah 41:2 + +And Ismahel the son of Nathanias arose, and the ten men that were with him, and they struck Godolias the son of Ahicam, the son of Saphan with the sword, and slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. + +** Jeremiah 41:3 + +Ismahel slew also all the Jews that were with Godolias in Masphath, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the soldiers. + +** Jeremiah 41:4 + +And on the second day after he had killed Godolias, no man yet knowing it, + +** Jeremiah 41:5 + +There came some from Sichem, and from Silo, and from Samaria, fourscore men, with their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and mourning: and they had offerings and incense in their hand, to offer in the house of the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 41:6 + +And Ismahel the son of Nathanias went forth from Masphath to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and when he had met them, he said to them: Come to Godolias, the son of Ahicam. + +** Jeremiah 41:7 + +And when they were come to the midst of the city, Ismahel the son of Nathanias, slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he and the men that were with him. + +** Jeremiah 41:8 + +But ten men were found among them, that said to Ismahel: Kill us not: for we have stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. And he forbore, and slew them not with their brethren. + +** Jeremiah 41:9 + +And the pit into which Ismahel cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew because of Godolias, is the same that king Asa made, for fear of Baasa the king of Israel: the same did Ismahel the son of Nathanias fill with them that were slain. + +** Jeremiah 41:10 + +Then Ismahel carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Masphath: the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Masphath: whom Nabuzardan the general of the army had committed to Godolias the son of Ahicam. And Ismahel the son of Nathanias took them, and he departed, to go over to the children of Ammon. + +** Jeremiah 41:11 + +But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, heard of the evil that Ismahel the son of Nathanias had done. + +** Jeremiah 41:12 + +And taking all the men, they went out to fight against Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and they found him by the great waters that are in Gabaon. + +** Jeremiah 41:13 + +And when all the people that were with Ismahel, had seen Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, they rejoiced. + +** Jeremiah 41:14 + +And all the people whom Ismahel had taken, went back to Masphath: and they returned and went to Johanan the son of Caree. + +** Jeremiah 41:15 + +But Ismahel the son of Nathanias fled with eight men, from the face of Johanan, and went to the children of Ammon. + +** Jeremiah 41:16 + +Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers that were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom they had recovered from Ismahel the son of Nathanias, from Masphath, after that he had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam: valiant men for war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs whom he had brought back from Gabaon. + +** Jeremiah 41:17 + +And they departed, and sat as sojourners in Chamaam, which is near Bethlehem: in order to go forward, and enter into Egypt, + +** Jeremiah 41:18 + +From the face of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ismahel the son of Nathanias had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Juda. + +* Jeremiah 42 + +** Jeremiah 42:1 + +Then all the captains of the warriors, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Jezonias, the son of Osaias, and the rest of the people from the least to the greatest came near: + +** Jeremiah 42:2 + +And they said to Jeremiah the prophet: Let our supplication fall before thee: and pray thou for us to the Lord thy God for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us. + +** Jeremiah 42:3 + +And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and the thing that we must do. + +** Jeremiah 42:4 + +And Jeremiah the prophet said to them: I have heard you: behold I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever thing he shall answer me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide nothing from you. + +** Jeremiah 42:5 + +And they said to Jeremiah: The Lord be witness between us of truth and faithfulness, if we do not according to every thing for which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us. + +** Jeremiah 42:6 + +Whether it be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee: that it may be well with us when we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God. + +** Jeremiah 42:7 + +Now after ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. + +** Jeremiah 42:8 + +And he called Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest. + +** Jeremiah 42:9 + +And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him: + +** Jeremiah 42:10 + +If you will be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you up, and not pull you down: I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you. + +** Jeremiah 42:11 + +Fear not because of the king of Babylon, of whom you are greatly afraid: fear him not, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. + +** Jeremiah 42:12 + +And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in your own land. + +** Jeremiah 42:13 + +But if you say: We will not dwell in this land, neither will we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, + +** Jeremiah 42:14 + +Saying: No, but we will go into the land of Egypt: where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor suffer hunger: and there we will dwell. + +** Jeremiah 42:15 + +For this now hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Juda: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to go into Egypt, and enter in to dwell there: + +** Jeremiah 42:16 + +The sword which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt: and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall cleave to you in Egypt, and there you shall die. + +** Jeremiah 42:17 + +And all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt, to dwell there, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of them shall remain, nor escape from the face of the evil that I will bring upon them. + +** Jeremiah 42:18 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place no more. + +** Jeremiah 42:19 + +This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this day. + +** Jeremiah 42:20 + +For you have deceived your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto us, and we will do it. + +** Jeremiah 42:21 + +And now I have declared it to you this day, and you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to you. + +** Jeremiah 42:22 + +Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there. + +* Jeremiah 43 + +** Jeremiah 43:1 + +And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words: + +** Jeremiah 43:2 + +Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremiah: Thou tellest a lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell there. + +** Jeremiah 43:3 + +But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us to be carried away captives to Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 43:4 + +So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 43:5 + +But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda: + +** Jeremiah 43:6 + +Men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias. + +** Jeremiah 43:7 + +And they went into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis. + +** Jeremiah 43:8 + +And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Taphnis, saying: + +** Jeremiah 43:9 + +Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao's house in Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 43:10 + +And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, and he shall set his throne over them. + +** Jeremiah 43:11 + +And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: such as are for death, to death: and such as are for captivity, to captivity: and such as are for the sword, to the sword. + +** Jeremiah 43:12 + +And he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace. + +** Jeremiah 43:13 + +And he shall break the statues of the house of the sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire. + +* Jeremiah 44 + +** Jeremiah 44:1 + +The word that came to Jeremiah, concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, dwelling in Magdal, and in Taphnis, and in Memphis, and in the land of Phatures, saying: + +** Jeremiah 44:2 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: You have seen all this evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Juda: and behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them: + +** Jeremiah 44:3 + +Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew. + +** Jeremiah 44:4 + +And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate. + +** Jeremiah 44:5 + +But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods. + +** Jeremiah 44:6 + +Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day. + +** Jeremiah 44:7 + +And now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, that there should die of you man and woman, child and suckling out of the midst of Juda, and no remnant should be left you: + +** Jeremiah 44:8 + +In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth? + +** Jeremiah 44:9 + +Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem? + +** Jeremiah 44:10 + +They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers. + +** Jeremiah 44:11 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda. + +** Jeremiah 44:12 + +And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there; and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach. + +** Jeremiah 44:13 + +And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem by the sword, and by famine and by pestilence. + +** Jeremiah 44:14 + +And there shall be none that shall escape, and remain of the remnant of the Jews that are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee. + +** Jeremiah 44:15 + +Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremiah, saying: + +** Jeremiah 44:16 + +As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee: + +** Jeremiah 44:17 + +But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil. + +** Jeremiah 44:18 + +But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out frank offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword, and by famine. + +** Jeremiah 44:19 + +And if we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink offerings to her: did we make cakes to worship her, to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands? + +** Jeremiah 44:20 + +And Jeremiah spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying: + +** Jeremiah 44:21 + +Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart? + +** Jeremiah 44:22 + +So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. + +** Jeremiah 44:23 + +Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at this day. + +** Jeremiah 44:24 + +And Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: + +** Jeremiah 44:25 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you have fulfilled your vows, and have performed them indeed. + +** Jeremiah 44:26 + +Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord: that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Juda, in the land of Egypt, saying: The Lord God liveth. + +** Jeremiah 44:27 + +Behold I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them. + +** Jeremiah 44:28 + +And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs. + +** Jeremiah 44:29 + +And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place: that you may know that my words shall be accomplished indeed against you for evil. + +** Jeremiah 44:30 + +Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Nechao king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into the land of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon his enemy, and that sought his life. + +* Jeremiah 45 + +** Jeremiah 45:1 + +The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerias, when he had written these words in a book, out of the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, saying: + +** Jeremiah 45:2 + +Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to thee, Baruch: + +** Jeremiah 45:3 + +Thou hast said: Woe is me, wretch that I am, for the Lord hath added sorrow to my sorrow: I am wearied with my groans, and I find no rest. + +** Jeremiah 45:4 + +Thus saith the Lord: Thus shalt thou say to him: Behold, them whom I have built, I do destroy: and them whom I have planted, I do pluck up, and all this land. + +** Jeremiah 45:5 + +And dost thou seek great things for thyself? Seek not: for behold I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord! but I will give thee thy life, and save thee in all places whithersoever thou shalt go. + +* Jeremiah 46 + +** Jeremiah 46:1 + +The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles, + +** Jeremiah 46:2 + +Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda. + +** Jeremiah 46:3 + +Prepare ye the shield and buckler, and go forth to battle. + +** Jeremiah 46:4 + +Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen: stand forth with helmets, furbish the spears, put on coats of mail. + +** Jeremiah 46:5 + +What then? I have seen them dismayed, and turning their backs, their valiant ones slain: they fled apace, and they looked not back: terror was round about, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 46:6 + +Let not the swift flee away, nor the strong think to escape: they are overthrown, and fallen down, towards the north by the river Euphrates. + +** Jeremiah 46:7 + +Who is this that cometh up as a flood: and his streams swell like those of rivers? + +** Jeremiah 46:8 + +Egypt riseth up like a flood, and the waves thereof shall be moved as rivers, and he shall say: I will go up and will cover the earth: I will destroy the city, and its inhabitants. + +** Jeremiah 46:9 + +Get ye up on horses, and glory in chariots, and let the valiant men come forth, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans that hold the shield, and the Lydians that take, and shoot arrows. + +** Jeremiah 46:10 + +For this is the day of the Lord the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may revenge himself of his enemies: the sword shall devour, and shall be filled, and shall be drunk with their blood: for there is a sacrifice of the Lord God of hosts in the north country, by the river Euphrates. + +** Jeremiah 46:11 + +Go up into Galaad, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou multiply medicines, there shall be no cure for thee. + +** Jeremiah 46:12 + +The nations have heard of thy disgrace, and thy howling hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong, and both are fallen together. + +** Jeremiah 46:13 + +The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt: + +** Jeremiah 46:14 + +Declare ye to Egypt, and publish it in Magdal, and let it be known in Memphis, and in Taphnis: say ye: Stand up, and prepare thyself: for the sword shall devour all round about thee. + +** Jeremiah 46:15 + +Why are thy valiant men come to nothing? they stood not: because the Lord hath overthrown them. + +** Jeremiah 46:16 + +He hath multiplied them that fall, and one hath fallen upon another, and they shall say: Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the sword of the dove. + +** Jeremiah 46:17 + +Call ye the name of Pharao king of Egypt, a tumult time hath brought. + +** Jeremiah 46:18 + +As I live, saith the King, (whose name is the Lord of hosts,) as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. + +** Jeremiah 46:19 + +Furnish thyself to go into captivity, thou daughter inhabitant of Egypt: for Memphis shall be made desolate, and shall be forsaken and uninhabited. + +** Jeremiah 46:20 + +Egypt is like a fair and beautiful heifer: there shall come from the north one that shall goad her. + +** Jeremiah 46:21 + +Her hirelings also that lived in the midst of her, like fatted calves are turned back, and are fled away together, and they could not stand, for the day of their slaughter is come upon them, the time of their visitation. + +** Jeremiah 46:22 + +Her voice shall sound like brass, for they shall hasten with an army, and with axes they shall come against her, as hewers of wood. + +** Jeremiah 46:23 + +They have cut down her forest, saith the Lord, which cannot be counted: they are multiplied above locusts, and are without number. + +** Jeremiah 46:24 + +The daughter of Egypt is confounded, and delivered into the hand of the people of the north. + +** Jeremiah 46:25 + +The Lord of hosts the God of Israel hath said: Behold I will visit upon the tumult of Alexandria, and upon Pharao, and upon Egypt, and upon her gods, and upon her kings, and upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him. + +** Jeremiah 46:26 + +And I will deliver them into the hand of them that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 46:27 + +And thou my servant Jacob, fear not and be not thou dismayed, O Israel: for behold I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed out of the land of thy captivity: and Jacob shall return and be at rest, and prosper: and there shall be none to terrify him. + +** Jeremiah 46:28 + +And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith the Lord: because I am with thee, for I will consume all the nations to which I have cast thee out: but thee I will not consume, but I will correct thee in judgment, neither will I spare thee as if thou wert innocent. + +* Jeremiah 47 + +** Jeremiah 47:1 + +The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took Gaza. + +** Jeremiah 47:2 + +Thus saith the Lord: Behold there come up waters out of the north, and they shall be as an overflowing torrent, and they shall cover the land, and all that is therein, the city and the inhabitants thereof: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl, + +** Jeremiah 47:3 + +At the noise of the marching of arms, and of his soldiers, at the rushing of his chariots, and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back to the children, for feebleness of hands, + +** Jeremiah 47:4 + +Because of the coming of the day, in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia. + +** Jeremiah 47:5 + +Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou cut thyself? + +** Jeremiah 47:6 + +O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. + +** Jeremiah 47:7 + +How shall it be quiet, when the Lord hath given it a charge against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof by the sea side, and there hath made an appointment for it? + +* Jeremiah 48 + +** Jeremiah 48:1 + +Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Woe to Nabo, for it is laid waste, and confounded: Cariathaim is taken: the strong city is confounded and hath trembled. + +** Jeremiah 48:2 + +There is no more rejoicing in Moab over Hesebon: they have devised evil. Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Therefore shalt thou in silence hold thy peace, and the sword shall follow thee. + +** Jeremiah 48:3 + +A voice of crying from Oronaim: waste, and great destruction. + +** Jeremiah 48:4 + +Moab is destroyed: proclaim a cry for her little ones. + +** Jeremiah 48:5 + +For by the ascent of Luith shall the mourner go up with weeping: for in the descent of Oronaim the enemies have heard a howling of destruction. + +** Jeremiah 48:6 + +Flee, save your lives: and be as heath in the wilderness. + +** Jeremiah 48:7 + +For because thou hast trusted in thy bulwarks, and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go into captivity, his priests, and his princes together. + +** Jeremiah 48:8 + +And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: and the valleys shall perish, and the plains shall be destroyed, for the Lord hath spoken: + +** Jeremiah 48:9 + +Give a flower to Moab, for in its flower it shall go out: and the cities thereof shall be desolate, and uninhabited. + +** Jeremiah 48:10 + +Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord deceitfully: and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood. + +** Jeremiah 48:11 + +Moab hath been fruitful from his youth, and hath rested upon his lees: and hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, nor hath gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed. + +** Jeremiah 48:12 + +Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send him men that shall order and overturn his bottles, and they shall cast him down, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles one against another. + +** Jeremiah 48:13 + +And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, in which they trusted. + +** Jeremiah 48:14 + +How do you say: We are valiant and stout men in battle? + +** Jeremiah 48:15 + +Moab is laid waste, and they have cast down her cities: and her choice young men are gone down to the slaughter: saith the king, whose name is the Lord of hosts. + +** Jeremiah 48:16 + +The destruction of Moab is near to come: the calamity thereof shall come on exceeding swiftly. + +** Jeremiah 48:17 + +Comfort him, all you that are round about him, and all you that know his name, say: How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod?

How hath Moab bowed down the neck, and is confounded! And Moab shall be a derision, and an example to all round about him. + +** Jeremiah 48:40 + +Thus saith the Lord: Behold he shall fly as an eagle, and shall stretch forth his wings to Moab. + +** Jeremiah 48:41 + +Carioth is taken, and the strongholds are won: and the heart of the valiant men of Moab in that day shall be as the heart of a woman in labour. + +** Jeremiah 48:42 + +And Moab shall cease to be a people: because he hath gloried against the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 48:43 + +Fear, and the pit, and the snare come upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 48:44 + +He that shall flee from the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall get up out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon Moab the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 48:45 + +They that fled from the snare stood in the shadow of Hesebon: but there came a fire out of Hesebon, and a flame out of the midst of Seon, and it shall devour part of Moab, and the crown of the head of the children of tumult. + +** Jeremiah 48:46 + +Woe to thee, Moab, thou hast persisted, O people of Chamos: for thy sons, and thy daughters are taken captives. + +** Jeremiah 48:47 + +And I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the last days, saith the Lord.

Why then hath Melchom inherited Gad: and his people dwelt in his cities? + +** Jeremiah 49:2 + +Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will cause the noise of war to be heard in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and it shall be destroyed into a heap, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire, and Israel shall possess them that have possessed him, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 49:3 + +Howl, O Hesebon, for Hai is wasted. Cry, ye daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with haircloth: mourn and go about by the hedges: for Melchom shall be carried into captivity, his priests, and his princes together. + +** Jeremiah 49:4 + +Why gloriest thou in the valleys? thy valley hath flowed away, O delicate daughter, that hast trusted in thy treasures, and hast said: Who shall come to me? + +** Jeremiah 49:5 + +Behold I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all that are round about thee: and you shall be scattered every one out of one another's sight, neither shall there be any to gather together them that flee. + +** Jeremiah 49:6 + +And afterwards I will cause the captives of the children of Ammon to return, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 49:7 + +Against Edom. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Theman? counsel is perished from her children: their wisdom is become unprofitable. + +** Jeremiah 49:8 + +Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole, ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation. + +** Jeremiah 49:9 + +If grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a bunch? if thieves in the night, they would have taken what was enough for them. + +** Jeremiah 49:10 + +But I have made Esau bare, I have revealed his secrets, and he cannot be hid: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he shall not be. + +** Jeremiah 49:11 + +Leave thy fatherless children: I will make them live: and thy widows shall hope in me. + +** Jeremiah 49:12 + +For thus saith the Lord: Behold they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup, shall certainly drink: and shalt thou come off as innocent? thou shalt not come off as innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink. + +** Jeremiah 49:13 + +For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bosra shall become a desolation, and a reproach, and a desert, and a curse: and all her cities shall be everlasting wastes. + +** Jeremiah 49:14 + +I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent to the nations: Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and let us rise up to battle. + +** Jeremiah 49:15 + +For behold I have made thee a little one among the nations, despicable among men. + +** Jeremiah 49:16 + +Thy arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart: O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, and endeavourest to lay hold on the height of the hill: but though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as an eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 49:17 + +And Edom shall be desolate: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues. + +** Jeremiah 49:18 + +As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha, and the neighbours thereof, saith the Lord: there shall not a man dwell there, and there shall no son of man inhabit it. + +** Jeremiah 49:19 + +Behold one shall come up as a lion from the swelling of the Jordan, against the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall abide me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance? + +** Jeremiah 49:20 + +Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation. + +** Jeremiah 49:21 + +The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the cry of their voice is heard in the Red Sea. + +** Jeremiah 49:22 + +Behold he shall come up as an eagle, and fly: and he shall spread his wings over Bosra: and in that day the heart of the valiant ones of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in labour. + +** Jeremiah 49:23 + +Against Damascus. Emath is confounded and Arphad: for they have heard very bad tidings, they are troubled as in the sea: through care they could not rest. + +** Jeremiah 49:24 + +Damascus is undone, she is put to flight, trembling hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her as a woman in labour. + +** Jeremiah 49:25 + +How have they forsaken the city of renown, the city of joy! + +** Jeremiah 49:26 + +Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets: and all the men of war shall be silent in that day, saith the Lord of hosts. + +** Jeremiah 49:27 + +And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the strong holds of Benadad. + +** Jeremiah 49:28 + +Against Cedar and against the kingdoms of Asor, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon destroyed. Thus saith the Lord: Arise, and go ye up to Cedar, and waste the children of the east. + +** Jeremiah 49:29 + +They shall take their tents, and their flocks: and shall carry off for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels: and they shall call fear upon them round about. + +** Jeremiah 49:30 + +Flee ye, get away speedily, sit in deep holes, you that inhabit Asor, saith the Lord: for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived designs against you. + +** Jeremiah 49:31 + +Arise, and go up to a nation that is at ease, and that dwelleth securely, saith the Lord: they have neither gates, nor bars: they dwell alone. + +** Jeremiah 49:32 + +And their camels shall be for a spoil and the multitude of their cattle for a booty, and I will scatter into every wind them that have their hair cut round, and I will bring destruction upon them from all their confines, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 49:33 + +And Asor shall be a habitation for dragons, desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, nor son of man inhabit it. + +** Jeremiah 49:34 + +The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, saying: + +** Jeremiah 49:35 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will break the bow of Elam, and their chief strength. + +** Jeremiah 49:36 + +And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven: and I will scatter them into all these winds: and there shall be no nation, to which the fugitives of Elam shall not come. + +** Jeremiah 49:37 + +And I will cause Elam to be afraid before their enemies, and in the sight of them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce wrath, saith the Lord: and I will send the sword after them, till I consume them. + +** Jeremiah 49:38 + +And I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy kings and princes from thence, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 49:39 + +But in the latter days I will cause the captives of Elam, to return, saith the Lord. + +* Jeremiah 50 + +** Jeremiah 50:1 + +The word that the Lord hath spoken against Babylon, and against the land of the Chaldeans in the hand of Jeremiah the prophet. + +** Jeremiah 50:2 + +Declare ye among the nations, and publish it, lift up a standard: proclaim, and conceal it not: say: Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is overthrown, their graven things are confounded, their idols are overthrown. + +** Jeremiah 50:3 + +For a nation is come up against her out of the north, which shall make her land desolate: and there shall be none to dwell therein, from man even to beast: yea they are removed, and gone away. + +** Jeremiah 50:4 + +In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together: going and weeping they shall make haste, and shall seek the Lord their God. + +** Jeremiah 50:5 + +They shall ask the way to Sion, their faces are hitherward. They shall come, and shall be joined to the Lord by an everlasting covenant, which shall never be forgotten. + +** Jeremiah 50:6 + +My people have been a lost flock, their shepherds have caused them to go astray, and have made them wander in the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place. + +** Jeremiah 50:7 + +All that found them, have devoured them: and their enemies said: We have not sinned in so doing: because they have sinned against the Lord the beauty of justice, and against the Lord the hope of their fathers. + +** Jeremiah 50:8 + +Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans: and be ye as kids at the head of the flock. + +** Jeremiah 50:9 + +For behold I raise up, and will bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north: and they shall be prepared against her, and from thence she shall be taken: their arrows, like those of a mighty man, a destroyer, shall not return in vain. + +** Jeremiah 50:10 + +And Chaldea shall be made a prey: all that waste her shall be filled, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 50:11 + +Because you rejoice, and speak great things, pillaging my inheritance: because you are spread abroad as calves upon the grass, and have bellowed as bulls. + +** Jeremiah 50:12 + +Your mother is confounded exceedingly, and she that bore you is made even with the dust: behold she shall be the last among the nations, a wilderness unpassable, and dry. + +** Jeremiah 50:13 + +Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but shall be wholly desolate: every one that shall pass by Babylon, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all her plagues. + +** Jeremiah 50:14 + +Prepare yourselves against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow: fight against her, spare not arrows: because she hath sinned against the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 50:15 + +Shout against her, she hath every where given her hand, her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down, for it is the vengeance of the Lord.

dove every man shall return to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land. + +** Jeremiah 50:17 + +Israel is a scattered flock, the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria devoured him: and last this Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath broken his bones. + +** Jeremiah 50:18 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, as I have visited the king of Assyria. + +** Jeremiah 50:19 + +And I will bring Israel again to his habitation: and he shall feed on Carmel, and Bason, and his soul shall be

shall tread her down: take the stones out of the way, and make heaps, and destroy her: and let nothing of her be left. + +** Jeremiah 50:27 + +Destroy all her valiant men, let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation. + +** Jeremiah 50:28 + +The voice of them that flee, and of them that have escaped out of the land of Babylon: to declare

+Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets: and all her men of war shall hold their peace in that day, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 50:31 + +Behold I come against thee, O proud one, saith

her wise men. + +** Jeremiah 50:36 + +A sword upon her diviners, and they shall be foolish: a sword upon her valiant ones, and they shall be dismayed. + +** Jeremiah 50:37 + +A sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the people that are in the midst of her: and they shall become as women: a sword upon her treasures, and they shall be made a spoil. + +** Jeremiah 50:38

feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, pangs as a woman in labour. + +** Jeremiah 50:44 + +Behold he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan to the strong and beautiful: for I will

side in the day of her affliction. + +** Jeremiah 51:3 + +Let not him that bendeth, bend his bow, and let not him go up that is armed with a coat of mail: spare not her young men, destroy all her army. + +** Jeremiah 51:4 + +And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in the regions thereof. + +** Jeremiah 51:5 + +For Israel and Juda have not been forsaken by their God the Lord of hosts: but their land hath been filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. + +** Jeremiah 51:6 + +Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will render unto her what she hath deserved. + +** Jeremiah 51:7 + +Babylon hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine, and therefore they have staggered. + +** Jeremiah 51:8 + +Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed. + +** Jeremiah 51:9 + +We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds. + +** Jeremiah 51:10 + +The Lord hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion the work of the Lord our God. + +** Jeremiah 51:11 + +Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers, the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple. + +** Jeremiah 51:12 + +Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon. + +** Jeremiah 51:13 + +O thou that dwellest upon many waters, rich in treasures, thy end is come for thy entire destruction. + +** Jeremiah 51:14 + +The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee. + +** Jeremiah 51:15 + +He that made the earth by his power, that hath prepared the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. + +** Jeremiah 51:16 + +When he uttereth his voice the waters are multiplied in heaven: he lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth, he hath turned lightning into rain: and hath brought forth the wind out of his treasures. + +** Jeremiah 51:17 + +Every man is become foolish by his knowledge: every founder is confounded by his idol, for what he hath cast is a lie, and there is no breath in them. + +** Jeremiah 51:18 + +They are vain works, and worthy to be laughed at, in the time of their visitation they shall perish. + +** Jeremiah 51:19 + +The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he that made all things he it is, and Israel is the sceptre of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. + +** Jeremiah 51:20 + +Thou dashest together for me the weapons of war, and with thee I will dash nations together, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms: + +** Jeremiah 51:21 + +And with thee I will break in pieces the horse, and his rider, and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot, and him that getteth up into it: + +** Jeremiah 51:22 + +And with thee I will break in pieces man and woman, and with thee I will break in pieces the old man and the child, and with thee I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin: + +** Jeremiah 51:23 + +And with thee I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock, and with thee I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee I will break in pieces captains and rulers. + +** Jeremiah 51:24 + +And I will render to Babylon, and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil, that they have done in Sion, before your eyes, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 51:25 + +Behold I come against thee, thou destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which corruptest the whole earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. + +** Jeremiah 51:26 + +And they shall not take of thee a stone for the corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for ever, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 51:27 + +Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as the stinging locust. + +** Jeremiah 51:28 + +Prepare the nations against her, the kings of Media, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the land of their dominion. + +** Jeremiah 51:29 + +And the land shall be in a commotion, and shall be troubled: for the design of the Lord against Babylon shall awake, to make the land of Babylon desert and uninhabitable. + +** Jeremiah 51:30 + +The valiant men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have dwelt in holds: their strength hath failed, and they are become as women: her dwelling places are burnt, her bars are broken. + +** Jeremiah 51:31 + +One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken from one end to the other: + +** Jeremiah 51:32 + +And that the fords are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted. + +** Jeremiah 51:33 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. + +** Jeremiah 51:34 + +Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath eaten me up, he hath devoured me: he hath made me as an empty vessel: he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicate meats, and he hath cast me out. + +** Jeremiah 51:35 + +The wrong done to me, and my flesh be upon Babylon, saith the habitation of Sion: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, saith Jerusalem. + +** Jeremiah 51:36 + +Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will judge thy cause, and will take vengeance for thee, and I will make her sea desolate, I and will dry up her spring. + +** Jeremiah 51:37 + +And Babylon shall be reduced to heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant. + +** Jeremiah 51:38 + +They shall roar together like lions, they shall shake their manes like young lions. + +** Jeremiah 51:39 + +In their heat I will set them drink: and I will make them drunk, that they may slumber, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and awake no more, saith the Lord. + +** Jeremiah 51:40 + +I will bring them

in his sight. + +** Job 25:6 + +How much more is man than rottenness and the son of man than a worm? + +* Job 26 + +** Job 26:1 + +Then Job answered, and said: + +** Job 26:2 + +Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength? + +** Job 26:3 + +To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence. + +** Job 26:4 + +Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life? + +** Job 26:5 + +Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them. + +** Job 26:6 + +Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. + +** Job 26:7 + +He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. + +** Job 26:8 + +He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together. + +** Job 26:9 + +He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it. + +** Job 26:10 + +He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end. + +** Job 26:11 + +The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck. + +** Job 26:12 + +By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one. + +** Job 26:13 + +His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent. + +** Job 26:14 + +Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness? + +* Job 27 + +** Job 27:1 + +Job also added, taking up his parable, and said: + +** Job 27:2 + +As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness, + +** Job 27:3 + +As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils, + +** Job 27:4 + +My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying. + +** Job 27:5 + +God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence. + +** Job 27:6 + +My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life. + +** Job 27:7 + +Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one. + +** Job 27:8 + +For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul? + +** Job 27:9 + +Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him? + +** Job 27:10 + +Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times? + +** Job 27:11 + +I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it. + +** Job 27:12 + +Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause? + +** Job 27:13 + +This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty. + +** Job 27:14 + +If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread. + +** Job 27:15 + +They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep. + +** Job 27:16 + +If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay, + +** Job 27:17 + +He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver. + +** Job 27:18 + +He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth. + +** Job 27:19 + +The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing. + +** Job 27:20 + +Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night: + +** Job 27:21 + +A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place. + +** Job 27:22 + +And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee. + +** Job 27:23 + +He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place. + +* Job 28 + +** Job 28:1 + +Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted. + +** Job 28:2 + +Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass. + +** Job 28:3 + +He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death. + +** Job 28:4 + +The flood divideth from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man hath forgotten, and who cannot be come at. + +** Job 28:5 + +The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire. + +** Job 28:6 + +The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold. + +** Job 28:7 + +The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it. + +** Job 28:8 + +The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it. + +** Job 28:9 + +He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots. + +** Job 28:10 + +In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing. + +** Job 28:11 + +The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light. + +** Job 28:12 + +But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding? + +** Job 28:13 + +Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights. + +** Job 28:14 + +The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me. + +** Job 28:15 + +The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it. + +** Job 28:16 + +It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire. + +** Job 28:17 + +Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it. + +** Job 28:18 + +High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places. + +** Job 28:19 + +The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing. + +** Job 28:20 + +Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? + +** Job 28:21 + +It is hid from the eyes of all living, and the fowls of the air know it not. + +** Job 28:22 + +Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof. + +** Job 28:23 + +God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof. + +** Job 28:24 + +For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven. + +** Job 28:25 + +Who made a weight for the winds, and weighed the waters by measure. + +** Job 28:26 + +When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms. + +** Job 28:27 + +Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it. + +** Job 28:28 + +And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding. + +* Job 29 + +** Job 29:1 + +Job also added, taking up his parable, and said: + +** Job 29:2 + +Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me? + +** Job 29:3 + +When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness? + +** Job 29:4 + +As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle? + +** Job 29:5 + +When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me? + +** Job 29:6 + +When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil? + +** Job 29:7 + +When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair? + +** Job 29:8 + +The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood. + +** Job 29:9 + +The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth. + +** Job 29:10 + +The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat. + +** Job 29:11 + +The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me: + +** Job 29:12 + +Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless, that had no helper. + +** Job 29:13 + +The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow. + +** Job 29:14 + +I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem. + +** Job 29:15 + +I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame. + +** Job 29:16 + +I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently. + +** Job 29:17 + +I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey. + +** Job 29:18 + +And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days. + +** Job 29:19 + +My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest. + +** Job 29:20 + +My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired. + +** Job 29:21 + +They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel. + +** Job 29:22 + +To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them. + +** Job 29:23 + +They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower. + +** Job 29:24 + +If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth. + +** Job 29:25 + +If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned. + +* Job 30 + +** Job 30:1 + +But now the younger in time scorn me, whose fathers I would not have set with the dogs of my flock: + +** Job 30:2 + +The strength of whose hands was to me as nothing, and they were thought unworthy of life itself. + +** Job 30:3 + +Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery. + +** Job 30:4 + +And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food. + +** Job 30:5 + +Who snatched up these things out of the valleys, and when they had found any of them, they ran to them with a cry. + +** Job 30:6 + +They dwelt in the desert places of torrents, and in caves of earth, or upon the gravel. + +** Job 30:7 + +They pleased themselves among these kind of things, and counted it delightful to be under the briers. + +** Job 30:8 + +The children of foolish and base men, and not appearing at all upon the earth. + +** Job 30:9 + +Now I am turned into their song, and am become their byword. + +** Job 30:10 + +They abhor me, and flee far from me, and are not afraid to spit in my face. + +** Job 30:11 + +For he hath opened his quiver, and hath afflicted me, and hath put a bridle into my mouth. + +** Job 30:12 + +At the right hand of my rising, my calamities forthwith arose: they have overthrown my feet, and have overwhelmed me with their paths as with waves. + +** Job 30:13 + +They have destroyed my ways, they have lain in wait against me, and they have prevailed, and there was none to help. + +** Job 30:14 + +They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries. + +** Job 30:15 + +I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud. + +** Job 30:16 + +And now my soul fadeth within myself, and the days of affliction possess me. + +** Job 30:17 + +In the night my bone is pierced with sorrows: and they that feed upon me, do not sleep. + +** Job 30:18 + +With the multitude of them my garment is consumed, and they have girded me about, as with the collar of my coat. + +** Job 30:19 + +I am compared to dirt, and am likened to embers and ashes. + +** Job 30:20 + +I cry to thee, and thou hearest me not: I stand up, and thou dost not regard me. + +** Job 30:21 + +Thou art changed to be cruel toward me, and in the hardness of thy hand thou art against me. + +** Job 30:22 + +Thou hast lifted me up, and set me as it were upon the wind, and thou hast mightily dashed me. + +** Job 30:23 + +I know that thou wilt deliver me to death, where a house is appointed for every one that liveth. + +** Job 30:24 + +But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save. + +** Job 30:25 + +I wept heretofore for him that was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor. + +** Job 30:26 + +I expected good things, and evils are come upon me: I waited for light, and darkness broke out. + +** Job 30:27 + +My inner parts have boiled without any rest, the days of affliction have prevented me. + +** Job 30:28 + +I went mourning without indignation; I rose up, and cried in the crowd. + +** Job 30:29 + +I was the brother of dragons, and companion of ostriches. + +** Job 30:30 + +My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up with heat. + +** Job 30:31 + +My harp is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of those that weep. + +* Job 31 + +** Job 31:1 + +I made a covenant with my eyes, that I would not so much as think upon a virgin. + +** Job 31:2 + +For what part should God from above have in me, and what inheritance the Almighty from on high? + +** Job 31:3 + +Is not destruction to the wicked, and aversion to them that work iniquity? + +** Job 31:4 + +Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps? + +** Job 31:5 + +If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit: + +** Job 31:6 + +Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity. + +** Job 31:7 + +If my step hath turned out of the way, and if my heart hath followed my eyes, and if a spot hath cleaved to my hands: + +** Job 31:8 + +Then let me sow and let another reap: and let my offspring be rooted out. + +** Job 31:9 + +If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend's door: + +** Job 31:10 + +Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her. + +** Job 31:11 + +For this is a heinous crime, and a most grievous iniquity. + +** Job 31:12 + +It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring. + +** Job 31:13 + +If I have despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy against me: + +** Job 31:14 + +For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him? + +** Job 31:15 + +Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb? + +** Job 31:16 + +If I have denied to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait: + +** Job 31:17 + +If I have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof: + +** Job 31:18 + +(For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother's womb:) + +** Job 31:19 + +If I have despised him that was perishing for want of clothing, and the poor man that had no covering: + +** Job 31:20 + +If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep: + +** Job 31:21 + +If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw myself superior in the gate: + +** Job 31:22 + +Let my shoulder fall from its joint, and let my arm with its bones be broken. + +** Job 31:23 + +For I have always feared God as waves swelling over me, and his weight I was unable to bear. + +** Job 31:24 + +If I have thought gold my strength, and have said to fine gold: My confidence: + +** Job 31:25 + +If I have rejoiced over my great riches, and because my hand had gotten much. + +** Job 31:26 + +If I beheld the sun when it shined and the moon going in brightness: + +** Job 31:27 + +And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with my mouth: + +** Job 31:28 + +Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God. + +** Job 31:29 + +If I have been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him. + +** Job 31:30 + +For I have not been given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul. + +** Job 31:31 + +If the men of my tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled? + +** Job 31:32 + +The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller. + +** Job 31:33 + +If as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom. + +** Job 31:34 + +If I have been afraid at a very great multitude, and the contempt of kinsmen hath terrified me: and have not rather held my peace, and not gone out of the door. + +** Job 31:35 + +Who would grant me a hearing, that the Almighty may hear my desire: and that he himself that judgeth would write a book, + +** Job 31:36 + +That I may carry it on my shoulder, and put it about me as a crown? + +** Job 31:37 + +At every step of mine I would pronounce it, and offer it as to a prince. + +** Job 31:38 + +If my land cry against me, and with it the furrows thereof mourn: + +** Job 31:39 + +If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have afflicted the son of the tillers thereof: + +** Job 31:40 + +Let thistles grow up to me instead of wheat, and thorns instead of barley. + +* Job 32 + +** Job 32:1 + +So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself. + +** Job 32:2 + +And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God. + +** Job 32:3 + +And he was angry with his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job. + +** Job 32:4 + +So Eliu waited while Job was speaking because they were his elders that were speaking. + +** Job 32:5 + +But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry. + +** Job 32:6 + +Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient, therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion. + +** Job 32:7 + +For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom. + +** Job 32:8 + +But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding. + +** Job 32:9 + +They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment. + +** Job 32:10 + +Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom. + +** Job 32:11 + +For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words. + +** Job 32:12 + +And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words. + +** Job 32:13 + +Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man. + +** Job 32:14 + +He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words. + +** Job 32:15 + +They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking. + +** Job 32:16 + +Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more: + +** Job 32:17 + +I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge. + +** Job 32:18 + +For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me. + +** Job 32:19 + +Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels. + +** Job 32:20 + +I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer. + +** Job 32:21 + +I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man. + +** Job 32:22 + +For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away. + +* Job 33 + +** Job 33:1 + +Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words. + +** Job 33:2 + +Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws. + +** Job 33:3 + +My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence. + +** Job 33:4 + +The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life. + +** Job 33:5 + +If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face. + +** Job 33:6 + +Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed. + +** Job 33:7 + +But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee. + +** Job 33:8 + +Now thou hast said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words: + +** Job 33:9 + +I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me. + +** Job 33:10 + +Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy. + +** Job 33:11 + +He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths. + +** Job 33:12 + +Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. + +** Job 33:13 + +Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words? + +** Job 33:14 + +God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time. + +** Job 33:15 + +By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds: + +** Job 33:16 + +Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn. + +** Job 33:17 + +That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride. + +** Job 33:18 + +Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword. + +** Job 33:19 + +He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither. + +** Job 33:20 + +Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired. + +** Job 33:21 + +His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare. + +** Job 33:22 + +His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers. + +** Job 33:23 + +If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man's uprightness, + +** Job 33:24 + +He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him. + +** Job 33:25 + +His flesh is consumed with punishments, let him return to the days of his youth. + +** Job 33:26 + +He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice. + +** Job 33:27 + +He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved. + +** Job 33:28 + +He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light. + +** Job 33:29 + +Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one. + +** Job 33:30 + +That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living. + +** Job 33:31 + +Attend, Job, and hearken to me, and hold thy peace, whilst I speak. + +** Job 33:32 + +But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would have thee to appear just. + +** Job 33:33 + +And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom. + +* Job 34 + +** Job 34:1 + +And Eliu continued his discourse, and said: + +** Job 34:2 + +Hear ye, wise men, my words, and ye learned, hearken to me: + +** Job 34:3 + +For the ear trieth words, and the mouth discerneth meats by the taste. + +** Job 34:4 + +Let us choose to us judgment, and let us see among ourselves what is the best. + +** Job 34:5 + +For Job hath said: I am just, and God hath overthrown my judgment. + +** Job 34:6 + +For in judging me there is a lie: my arrow is violent without any sin. + +** Job 34:7 + +What man is there like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? + +** Job 34:8 + +Who goeth in company with them that work iniquity, and walketh with wicked men? + +** Job 34:9 + +For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with him. + +** Job 34:10 + +Therefore, ye men of understanding, hear me: far from God be wickedness, and iniquity from the Almighty. + +** Job 34:11 + +For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will reward them. + +** Job 34:12 + +For in very deed God will not condemn without cause, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. + +** Job 34:13 + +What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set over the world which he made? + +** Job 34:14 + +If he turn his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath unto himself. + +** Job 34:15 + +All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return into ashes. + +** Job 34:16 + +If then thou hast understanding, hear what is said, and hearken to the voice of my words. + +** Job 34:17 + +Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so far condemn him that is just? + +** Job 34:18 + +Who saith to the king: Thou art an apostate: who calleth rulers ungodly: + +** Job 34:19 + +Who accepteth not the persons of princes: nor hath regarded the tyrant, when he contended against the poor man: for all are the work of his hands. + +** Job 34:20 + +They shall suddenly die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and they shall pass, and take away the violent without hand. + +** Job 34:21 + +For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he considereth all their steps. + +** Job 34:22 + +There is no darkness, and there is no shadow of death, where they may be hid who work iniquity. + +** Job 34:23 + +For it is no longer in the power of man to enter into judgment with God. + +** Job 34:24 + +He shall break in pieces many and innumerable, and shall make others to stand in their stead. + +**

From whence then hast thou living water? + +** John 4:12 + +Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof, himself and his children and his cattle? + +** John 4:13 + +Jesus answered and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him shall not thirst for ever. + +** John 4:14 + +But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting. + +** John 4:15 + +The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. + +** John 4:16 + +Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. + +** John 4:17 + +The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well: I have no husband. + +** John 4:18 + +For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly. + +** John 4:19 + +The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. + +** John 4:20 + +Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore. + +** John 4:21 + +Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father. + +** John 4:22 + +You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. For salvation is of the Jews. + +** John 4:23 + +But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him. + +** John 4:24 + +God is a spirit: and they that adore him must adore him in spirit and in truth. + +** John 4:25 + +The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ): therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things. + +** John 4:26 + +Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee. + +** John 4:27 + +And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why talkest thou with her? + +** John 4:28 + +The woman therefore left her waterpot and went her way into the city and saith to the men there: + +** John 4:29 + +Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ? + +** John 4:30 + +They went therefore out of the city and came unto him. + +** John 4:31 + +In the mean time, the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat. + +** John 4:32 + +But he said to them: I have meat to eat which you know not. + +** John 4:33 + +The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat? + +** John 4:34 + +Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work. + +** John 4:35 + +Do not you say: There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries. For they are white already to harvest. + +** John 4:36 + +And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. + +** John 4:37 + +For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth. + +** John 4:38 + +I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour. Others have laboured: and you have entered into their labours. + +** John 4:39 + +Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done. + +** John 4:40 + +So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days. + +** John 4:41 + +And many more believed in him, because of his own word. + +** John 4:42 + +And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. + +** John 4:43 + +Now after two days, he departed thence and went into Galilee. + +** John 4:44 + +For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. + +** John 4:45 + +And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day: for they also went to the festival day. + +** John 4:46 + +He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum. + +** John 4:47 + +He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, sent to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. + +** John 4:48 + +Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not. + +** John 4:49 + +The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die. + +** John 4:50 + +Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him and went his way. + +** John 4:51 + +And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought word, saying, that his son lived. + +** John 4:52 + +He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him. + +** John 4:53 + +The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house. + +** John 4:54 + +This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea. into Galilee. + +* John 5 + +** John 5:1 + +After these things was a festival day of the Jews: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. + +** John 5:2 + +Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches. + +** John 5:3 + +In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered: waiting for the moving of the water. + +** John 5:4 + +And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under. + +** John 5:5 + +And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity. + +** John 5:6 + +Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole? + +** John 5:7 + +The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me. + +** John 5:8 + +Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed and walk. + +** John 5:9 + +And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. + +** John 5:10 + +The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath. It is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. + +** John 5:11 + +He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me: Take up thy bed and walk. + +** John 5:12 + +They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee: Take up thy bed and walk? + +** John 5:13 + +But he who was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place. + +** John 5:14 + +Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee. + +** John 5:15 + +The man went his way and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole. + +** John 5:16 + +Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. + +** John 5:17 + +But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work. + +** John 5:18 + +Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God. + +** John 5:19 + +Then Jesus answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner. + +** John 5:20 + +For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. + +** John 5:21 + +For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. + +** John 5:22 + +For neither does the Father judge any man: but hath given all judgment to the Son. + +** John 5:23 + +That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. + +** John 5:24 + +Amen, amen, I say unto you that he who heareth my word and believeth him that sent me hath life everlasting: and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. + +** John 5:25 + +Amen, amen, I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. + +** John 5:26 + +For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given to the Son also to have life in himself. + +** John 5:27 + +And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. + +** John 5:28 + +Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. + +** John 5:29 + +And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the resurrection of life: but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. + +** John 5:30 + +I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge. And my judgment is just: because I seek not my own will. but the will of him that sent me. + +** John 5:31 + +If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. + +** John 5:32 + +There is another that beareth witness of me: and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. + +** John 5:33 + +You sent to John: and he gave testimony to the truth. + +** John 5:34 + +But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved. + +** John 5:35 + +He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. + +** John 5:36 + +But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect, the works themselves which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me. + +** John 5:37 + +And the Father himself who hath sent me hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. + +** John 5:38 + +And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not. + +** John 5:39 + +Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me. + +** John 5:40 + +And you will not come to me that you may have life. + +** John 5:41 + +I receive not glory from men. + +** John 5:42 + +But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. + +** John 5:43 + +I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. + +** John 5:44 + +How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek? + +** John 5:45 + +Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. + +** John 5:46 + +For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also: for he wrote of me. + +** John 5:47 + +But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? + +* John 6 + +** John 6:1 + +After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. + +** John 6:2 + +And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. + +** John 6:3 + +Jesus therefore went up into a mountain: and there he sat with his disciples. + +** John 6:4 + +Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. + +** John 6:5 + +When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? + +** John 6:6 + +And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do. + +** John 6:7 + +Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little. + +** John 6:8 + +One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him: + +** John 6:9 + +There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these among so many? + +** John 6:10 + +Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. + +** John 6:11 + +And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. + +** John 6:12 + +And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. + +** John 6:13 + +They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to them that had eaten. + +** John 6:14 + +Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world. + +** John 6:15 + +Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone. + +** John 6:16 + +And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea. + +** John 6:17 + +And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum. And it was now dark: and Jesus was not come unto them. + +** John 6:18 + +And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew. + +** John 6:19 + +When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh to the ship. And they were afraid. + +** John 6:20 + +But he saith to them: It is I. Be not afraid. + +** John 6:21 + +They were willing therefore to take him into the ship. And presently the ship was at the land to which they were going. + +** John 6:22 + +The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other ship there but one: and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone. + +** John 6:23 + +But other ships came in from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks. + +** John 6:24 + +When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus. + +** John 6:25 + +And when they had found him on that other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither? + +** John 6:26 + +Jesus answered them and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves and were filled. + +** John 6:27 + +Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed. + +** John 6:28 + +They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? + +** John 6:29 + +Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. + +** John 6:30 + +They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew that we may see and may believe thee? What dost thou work? + +** John 6:31 + +Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. + +** John 6:32 + +Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. + +** John 6:33 + +For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven and giveth life to the world. + +** John 6:34 + +They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread. + +** John 6:35 + +And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. + +** John 6:36 + +But I said unto you that you also have seen me, and you believe not. + +** John 6:37 + +All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out. + +** John 6:38 + +Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him that sent me. + +** John 6:39 + +Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. + +** John 6:40 + +And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in him may have life everlasting. And I will raise him up in the last day. + +** John 6:41 + +The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. + +** John 6:42 + +And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he: I came down from heaven? + +** John 6:43 + +Jesus therefore answered and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves. + +** John 6:44 + +No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him. And I will raise him up in the last day. + +** John 6:45 + +It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh forth me. + +** John 6:46 + +Not that any man hath seen the Father: but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. + +** John 6:47 + +Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath everlasting life. + +** John 6:48 + +I am the bread of life. + +** John 6:49 + +Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead. + +** John 6:50 + +This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. + +** John 6:51 + +I am the living bread which came down from heaven. + +** John 6:52 + +If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. + +** John 6:53 + +The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? + +** John 6:54 + +Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. + +** John 6:55 + +He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. + +** John 6:56 + +For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. + +** John 6:57 + +He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him. + +** John 6:58 + +As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. + +** John 6:59 + +This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. + +** John 6:60 + +These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum. + +** John 6:61 + +Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard; and who can hear it? + +** John 6:62 + +But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you? + +** John 6:63 + +If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? + +** John 6:64 + +It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. + +** John 6:65 + +But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him. + +** John 6:66 + +And he said: Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father. + +** John 6:67 + +After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. + +** John 6:68 + +Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away? + +** John 6:69 + +And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. + +** John 6:70 + +And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the Son of God. + +** John 6:71 + +Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve? And one of you is a devil. + +** John 6:72 + +Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve. + +* John 7 + +** John 7:1 + +After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. + +** John 7:2 + +Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was at hand. + +** John 7:3 + +And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost. + +** John 7:4 + +For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. + +** John 7:5 + +For neither did his brethren believe in him. + +** John 7:6 + +Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready. + +** John 7:7 + +The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil, + +** John 7:8 + +Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival day, because my time is not accomplished. + +** John 7:9 + +When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee. + +** John 7:10 + +But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. + +** John 7:11 + +The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said: Where is he? + +** John 7:12 + +And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people. + +** John 7:13 + +Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews. + +** John 7:14 + +Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. + +** John 7:15 + +And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned? + +** John 7:16 + +Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. + +** John 7:17 + +If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. + +** John 7:18 + +He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him. + +** John 7:19 + +Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? + +** John 7:20 + +Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a devil. Who seeketh to kill thee? + +** John 7:21 + +Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all wonder. + +** John 7:22 + +Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers): and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man. + +** John 7:23 + +If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day? + +** John 7:24 + +Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment. + +** John 7:25 + +Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? + +** John 7:26 + +And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ? + +** John 7:27 + +But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth, whence he is. + +** John 7:28 + +Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but he that sent me is true, whom you know not. + +** John 7:29 + +I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me. + +** John 7:30 + +They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. + +** John 7:31 + +But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than this man doth? + +** John 7:32 + +The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him. + +** John 7:33 + +Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me. + +** John 7:34 + +You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come. + +** John 7:35 + +The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles? + +** John 7:36 + +What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come? + +** John 7:37 + +And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. + +** John 7:38 + +He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. + +** John 7:39 + +Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. + +** John 7:40 + +Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed. + +** John 7:41 + +Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee? + +** John 7:42 + +Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the town where David was? + +** John 7:43 + +So there arose a dissension among the people because of him. + +** John 7:44 + +And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands upon him. + +** John 7:45 + +The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him? + +** John 7:46 + +The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man. + +** John 7:47 + +The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced? + +** John 7:48 + +Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? + +** John 7:49 + +But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed. + +** John 7:50 + +Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one of them): + +** John 7:51 + +Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him and know what he doth? + +** John 7:52 + +They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not. + +** John 7:53 + +And every man returned to his own house. + +* John 8 + +** John 8:1 + +And Jesus went unto mount Olivet. + +** John 8:2 + +And early in the morning he came again into the temple: and all the people came to him. And sitting down he taught them. + +** John 8:3 + +And the scribes and Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst, + +** John 8:4 + +And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery. + +** John 8:5 + +Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou? + +** John 8:6 + +And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground. + +** John 8:7 + +When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. + +** John 8:8 + +And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. + +** John 8:9 + +But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst. + +** John 8:10 + +Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee? + +** John 8:11 + +Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more. + +** John 8:12 + +Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. + +** John 8:13 + +The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself. Thy testimony is not true. + +** John 8:14 + +Jesus answered and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came and whither I go. + +** John 8:15 + +You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man. + +** John 8:16 + +And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. + +** John 8:17 + +And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. + +** John 8:18 + +I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me. + +** John 8:19 + +They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also. + +** John 8:20 + +These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. + +** John 8:21 + +Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go: and you shall seek me. And you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come. + +** John 8:22 + +The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go you cannot come? + +** John 8:23 + +And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You are of this world: I am not of this world. + +** John 8:24 + +Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. + +** John 8:25 + +They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you. + +** John 8:26 + +Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world. + +** John 8:27 + +And they understood not that he called God his Father. + +** John 8:28 + +Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up, the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak. + +** John 8:29 + +And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For I do always the things that please him. + +** John 8:30 + +When he spoke these things, many believed in him. + +** John 8:31 + +Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. + +** John 8:32 + +And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free. + +** John 8:33 + +They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham: and we have never been slaves to any man. How sayest thou: You shall be free? + +** John 8:34 + +Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you that whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. + +** John 8:35 + +Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the son abideth for ever. + +** John 8:36 + +If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. + +** John 8:37 + +I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. + +** John 8:38 + +I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father. + +** John 8:39 + +They answered and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham. + +** John 8:40 + +But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not. + +** John 8:41 + +You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. + +** John 8:42 + +Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me. + +** John 8:43 + +Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. + +** John 8:44 + +You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. + +** John 8:45 + +But if I say the truth, you believe me not. + +** John 8:46 + +Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me: + +** John 8:47 + +He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God. + +** John 8:48 + +The Jews therefore answered and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil? + +** John 8:49 + +Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father. And you have dishonoured me. + +** John 8:50 + +But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. + +** John 8:51 + +Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. + +** John 8:52 + +The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. + +** John 8:53 + +Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself? + +** John 8:54 + +Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. + +** John 8:55 + +And you have not known him: but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him and do keep his word. + +** John 8:56 + +Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it and was glad. + +** John 8:57 + +The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old. And hast thou seen Abraham? + +** John 8:58 + +Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM. + +** John 8:59 + +They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. + +* John 9 + +** John 9:1 + +And Jesus passing by, saw a man who was blind from his birth. + +** John 9:2 + +And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? + +** John 9:3 + +Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. + +** John 9:4 + +I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. + +** John 9:5 + +As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. + +** John 9:6 + +When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and spread the clay upon his eyes, + +** John 9:7 + +And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed: and he came seeing. + +** John 9:8 + +The neighbours, therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he. + +** John 9:9 + +But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he. + +** John 9:10 + +They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened? + +** John 9:11 + +He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe and wash. And I went: I washed: and I see. + +** John 9:12 + +And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not. + +** John 9:13 + +They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees. + +** John 9:14 + +Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. + +** John 9:15 + +Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and I see. + +** John 9:16 + +Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. + +** John 9:17 + +They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet. + +** John 9:18 + +The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, + +** John 9:19 + +And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see? + +** John 9:20 + +His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son and that he was born blind: + +** John 9:21 + +But how he now seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself. + +** John 9:22 + +These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. + +** John 9:23 + +Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself. + +** John 9:24 + +They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner. + +** John 9:25 + +He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind. now I see. + +** John 9:26 + +They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes? + +** John 9:27 + +He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples? + +** John 9:28 + +They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses. + +** John 9:29 + +We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is. + +** John 9:30 + +The man answered and said to them: why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes. + +** John 9:31 + +Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth. + +** John 9:32 + +From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind. + +** John 9:33 + +Unless this man were of God, he could not do anything. + +** John 9:34 + +They answered and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. + +** John 9:35 + +Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? + +** John 9:36 + +He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? + +** John 9:37 + +And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee. + +** John 9:38 + +And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him. + +** John 9:39 + +And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world: that they who see not may see; and they who see may become blind. + +** John 9:40 + +And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind? + +** John 9:41 + +Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth. + +* John 10 + +** John 10:1 + +Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber. + +** John 10:2 + +But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. + +** John 10:3 + +To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out. + +** John 10:4 + +And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. + +** John 10:5 + +But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers. + +** John 10:6 + +This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke. + +** John 10:7 + +Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. + +** John 10:8 + +All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not. + +** John 10:9 + +I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures. + +** John 10:10 + +The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly. + +** John 10:11 + +I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. + +** John 10:12 + +But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep, + +** John 10:13 + +And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. + +** John 10:14 + +I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me. + +** John 10:15 + +As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. + +** John 10:16 + +And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd. + +** John 10:17 + +Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. + +** John 10:18 + +No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father. + +** John 10:19 + +A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words. + +** John 10:20 + +And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear you him? + +** John 10:21 + +Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? + +** John 10:22 + +And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter. + +** John 10:23 + +And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. + +** John 10:24 + +The Jews therefore came round about him and said to him: How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. + +** John 10:25 + +Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me. + +** John 10:26 + +But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. + +** John 10:27 + +My sheep hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me. + +** John 10:28 + +And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for ever. And no man shall pluck them out of my hand. + +** John 10:29 + +That which my Father hath given me is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father. + +** John 10:30 + +I and the Father are one. + +** John 10:31 + +The Jews then took up stones to stone him. + +** John 10:32 + +Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me? + +** John 10:33 + +The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy: and because that thou. being a, man, makest thyself God. + +** John 10:34 + +Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said, you are gods? + +** John 10:35 + +If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken; and the scripture cannot be broken: + +** John 10:36 + +Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest; because I said: I am the Son of God? + +** John 10:37 + +If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. + +** John 10:38 + +But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father. + +** John 10:39 + +They sought therefore to take him: and he escaped out of their hands. + +** John 10:40 + +And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first. And there he abode. + +** John 10:41 + +And many resorted to him: and they said: John indeed did no sign. + +** John 10:42 + +But all things whatsoever John said of this man were true. And many believed n him. + +* John 11 + +** John 11:1 + +Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and of Martha her sister. + +** John 11:2 + +(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.) + +** John 11:3 + +His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. + +** John 11:4 + +And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it. + +** John 11:5 + +Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister Mary and Lazarus. + +** John 11:6 + +When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days. + +** John 11:7 + +Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again. + +** John 11:8 + +The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee. And goest thou thither again? + +** John 11:9 + +Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world: + +** John 11:10 + +But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. + +** John 11:11 + +These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth: but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. + +** John 11:12 + +His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. + +** John 11:13 + +But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep. + +** John 11:14 + +Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. + +** John 11:15 + +And I am glad, for your sakes; that I was not there, that you may believe. But, let us go to him. + +** John 11:16 + +Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. + +** John 11:17 + +Jesus therefore came: and found that he had been four days already in the grave. + +** John 11:18 + +(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.) + +** John 11:19 + +And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. + +** John 11:20 + +Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home. + +** John 11:21 + +Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. + +** John 11:22 + +But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. + +** John 11:23 + +Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again. + +** John 11:24 + +Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. + +** John 11:25 + +Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: + +** John 11:26 + +And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? + +** John 11:27 + +She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of the living God, who art come into this world. + +** John 11:28 + +And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come and calleth for thee. + +** John 11:29 + +She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him. + +** John 11:30 + +For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him. + +** John 11:31 + +The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there. + +** John 11:32 + +When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet and saith to him. Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. + +** John 11:33 + +Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself, + +** John 11:34 + +And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see. + +** John 11:35 + +And Jesus wept. + +** John 11:36 + +The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him. + +** John 11:37 + +But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind have caused that this man should not die? + +** John 11:38 + +Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it. + +** John 11:39 + +Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days. + +** John 11:40 + +Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? + +** John 11:41 + +They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. + +** John 11:42 + +And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. + +** John 11:43 + +When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth. + +** John 11:44 + +And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go. + +** John 11:45 + +Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him. + +** John 11:46 + +But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done. + +** John 11:47 + +The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles? + +** John 11:48 + +If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation. + +** John 11:49 + +But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing. + +** John 11:50 + +Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not. + +** John 11:51 + +And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation. + +** John 11:52 + +And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God that were dispersed. + +** John 11:53 + +From that day therefore they devised to put him to death. + +** John 11:54 + +Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews: but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem. And there he abode with his disciples. + +** John 11:55 + +And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch, to purify themselves. + +** John 11:56 + +They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment that, if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him. + +** John 11:57 + +nil + +* John 12 + +** John 12:1 + +Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life. + +** John 12:2 + +And they made him a supper there: and Martha served. But Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him. + +** John 12:3 + +Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. + +** John 12:4 + +Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: + +** John 12:5 + +Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor? + +** John 12:6 + +Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put therein. + +** John 12:7 + +Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial. + +** John 12:8 + +For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always. + +** John 12:9 + +A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. + +** John 12:10 + +But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also: + +** John 12:11 + +Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away and believed in Jesus. + +** John 12:12 + +And on the next day, a great multitude that was come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, + +** John 12:13 + +Took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried Hosanna. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel. + +** John 12:14 + +And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it, as it is written: + +** John 12:15 + +Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. + +** John 12:16 + +These things his disciples did not know at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things to him. + +** John 12:17 + +The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead. + +** John 12:18 + +For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle. + +** John 12:19 + +The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? Behold, the whole world is gone after him. + +** John 12:20 + +Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day. + +** John 12:21 + +These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus. + +** John 12:22 + +Philip cometh and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus. + +** John 12:23 + +But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified. + +** John 12:24 + +Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, + +** John 12:25 + +Itself remaineth alone. But if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal. + +** John 12:26 + +If any man minister to me, let him follow me: and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour. + +** John 12:27 + +Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour. + +** John 12:28 + +Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. + +** John 12:29 + +The multitude therefore that stood and heard said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him. + +** John 12:30 + +Jesus answered and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. + +** John 12:31 + +Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. + +** John 12:32 + +And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself. + +** John 12:33 + +(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.) + +** John 12:34 + +The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever. And how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? + +** John 12:35 + +Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, and the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither be goeth. + +** John 12:36 + +Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away and hid himself from them. + +** John 12:37 + +And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him: + +** John 12:38 + +That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? + +** John 12:39 + +Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again: + +** John 12:40 + +He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart and be converted: and I should heal them. + +** John 12:41 + +These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. + +** John 12:42 + +However, many of the chief men also believed in him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue. + +** John 12:43 + +For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. + +** John 12:44 + +But Jesus cried and said: He that believeth in me doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me. + +** John 12:45 + +And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. + +** John 12:46 + +I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness. + +** John 12:47 + +And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge him for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. + +** John 12:48 + +He that despiseth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. + +** John 12:49 + +For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say and what I should speak. + +** John 12:50 + +And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak. + +* John 13 + +** John 13:1 + +Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. + +** John 13:2 + +And when supper was done (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him), + +** John 13:3 + +Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands and that he came from God and goeth to God, + +** John 13:4 + +He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having taken a towel, girded himself. + +** John 13:5 + +After that, he putteth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. + +** John 13:6 + +He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet? + +** John 13:7 + +Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. + +** John 13:8 + +Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet, Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. + +** John 13:9 + +Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head. + +** John 13:10 + +Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. + +** John 13:11 + +For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean. + +** John 13:12 + +Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you? + +** John 13:13 + +You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am. + +** John 13:14 + +If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet. + +** John 13:15 + +For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also. + +** John 13:16 + +Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him. + +** John 13:17 + +If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them. + +** John 13:18 + +I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me, + +** John 13:19 + +At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he. + +** John 13:20 + +Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me: and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. + +** John 13:21 + +When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall betray me. + +** John 13:22 + +The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke. + +** John 13:23 + +Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. + +** John 13:24 + +Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh? + +** John 13:25 + +He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it? + +** John 13:26 + +Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. + +** John 13:27 + +And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly. + +** John 13:28 + +Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him. + +** John 13:29 + +For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor. + +** John 13:30 + +He therefore, having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night. + +** John 13:31 + +When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him. + +** John 13:32 + +If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself: and immediately will he glorify him. + +** John 13:33 + +Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me. And as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now. + +** John 13:34 + +A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. + +** John 13:35 + +By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another. + +** John 13:36 + +Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt follow hereafter. + +** John 13:37 + +Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. + +** John 13:38 + +Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen, I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice. + +* John 14 + +** John 14:1 + +Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also in me. + +** John 14:2 + +In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. + +** John 14:3 + +And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself: that where I am, you also may be. + +** John 14:4 + +And whither I go you know: and the way you know. + +** John 14:5 + +Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest. And how can we know the way? + +** John 14:6 + +Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me. + +** John 14:7 + +If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him. And you have seen him. + +** John 14:8 + +Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father; and it is enough for us. + +** John 14:9 + +Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou: Shew us the Father? + +** John 14:10 + +Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works. + +** John 14:11 + +Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? + +** John 14:12 + +Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen, I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and greater than these shall he do. + +** John 14:13 + +Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son. + +** John 14:14 + +If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do. + +** John 14:15 + +If you love me, keep my commandments. + +** John 14:16 + +And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: + +** John 14:17 + +The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you. + +** John 14:18 + +I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you. + +** John 14:19 + +Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live. + +** John 14:20 + +In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you. + +** John 14:21 + +He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him. + +** John 14:22 + +Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? + +** John 14:23 + +Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word. And my Father will love him and we will come to him and will make our abode with him. + +** John 14:24 + +He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard is not mine; but the Father's who sent me. + +** John 14:25 + +These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you. + +** John 14:26 + +But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you. + +** John 14:27 + +Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor let it be afraid. + +** John 14:28 + +You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I. + +** John 14:29 + +And now I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe. + +** John 14:30 + +I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing. + +** John 14:31 + +But that the world may know that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandments, so do I. Arise, let us go hence. + +* John 15 + +** John 15:1 + +I am the true vine: and my Father is the husbandman. + +** John 15:2 + +Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. + +** John 15:3 + +Now you are clean, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. + +** John 15:4 + +Abide in me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. + +** John 15:5 + +I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. + +** John 15:6 + +If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither: and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire: and he burneth. + +** John 15:7 + +If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will: and it shall be done unto you. + +** John 15:8 + +In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples. + +** John 15:9 + +As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love. + +** John 15:10 + +If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father's commandments and do abide in his love. + +** John 15:11 + +These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled. + +** John 15:12 + +This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. + +** John 15:13 + +Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. + +** John 15:14 + +You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you. + +** John 15:15 + +I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends. because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. + +** John 15:16 + +You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. + +** John 15:17 + +These things I command you, that you love one another. + +** John 15:18 + +If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. + +** John 15:19 + +If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. + +** John 15:20 + +Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. + +** John 15:21 + +But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him that sent me. + +** John 15:22 + +If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. + +** John 15:23 + +He that hateth me hateth my Father also. + +** John 15:24 + +If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. + +** John 15:25 + +But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause. + +** John 15:26 + +But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. + +** John 15:27 + +And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning. + +* John 16 + +** John 16:1 + +These things have I spoken to you things have I spoken to you that you may not be scandalized. + +** John 16:2 + +They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth a service to God. + +** John 16:3 + +And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father nor me. + +** John 16:4 + +But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. + +** John 16:5 + +But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou? + +** John 16:6 + +But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. + +** John 16:7 + +But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go. For if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will send him to you. + +** John 16:8 + +And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin and of justice and of judgment. + +** John 16:9 + +Of sin: because they believed not in me. + +** John 16:10 + +And of justice: because I go to the Father: and you shall see me no longer. + +** John 16:11 + +And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged. + +** John 16:12 + +I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now. + +** John 16:13 + +But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall shew you. + +** John 16:14 + +He shall glorify me: because he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you. + +** John 16:15 + +All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said that he shall receive of me and shew it to you. + +** John 16:16 + +A little while, and now you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father. + +** John 16:17 + +Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go to the Father? + +** John 16:18 + +They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he speaketh. + +** John 16:19 + +And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him. And he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me? + +** John 16:20 + +Amen, amen, I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. + +** John 16:21 + +A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. + +** John 16:22 + +So also you now indeed have sorrow: but I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice. And your joy no man shall take from you. + +** John 16:23 + +And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen, I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you. + +** John 16:24 + +Hitherto, you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full. + +** John 16:25 + +These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father. + +** John 16:26 + +In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you. + +** John 16:27 + +For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came out from God. + +** John 16:28 + +I came forth from the Father and am come into the world: again I leave the world and I go to the Father. + +** John 16:29 + +His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb. + +** John 16:30 + +Now we know that thou knowest all things and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God. + +** John 16:31 + +Jesus answered them: Do you now believe? + +** John 16:32 + +Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own and shall leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. + +** John 16:33 + +These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress. But have confidence. I have overcome the world. + +* John 17 + +** John 17:1 + +These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. + +** John 17:2 + +As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. + +** John 17:3 + +Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. + +** John 17:4 + +I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. + +** John 17:5 + +And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee. + +** John 17:6 + +I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were: and to me thou gavest them. And they have kept thy word. + +** John 17:7 + +Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are from thee: + +** John 17:8 + +Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them. And they have received them and have known in very deed that I came out from thee: and they have believed that thou didst send me. + +** John 17:9 + +I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine. + +** John 17:10 + +And all my things are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them. + +** John 17:11 + +And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou hast given me: that they may be one, as we also are. + +** John 17:12 + +While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept: and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition: that the scripture may be fulfilled. + +** John 17:13 + +And now I come to thee: and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves. + +** John 17:14 + +I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them: because they are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. + +** John 17:15 + +I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil. + +** John 17:16 + +They are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. + +** John 17:17 + +Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth. + +** John 17:18 + +As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. + +** John 17:19 + +And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. + +** John 17:20 + +And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me. + +** John 17:21 + +That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. + +** John 17:22 + +And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them: that, they may be one, as we also are one. + +** John 17:23 + +I in them, and thou in me: that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me. + +** John 17:24 + +Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world. + +** John 17:25 + +Just Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee. And these have known that thou hast sent me. + +** John 17:26 + +And I have made known thy name to them and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. + +* John 18 + +** John 18:1 + +When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples. + +** John 18:2 + +And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples. + +** John 18:3 + +Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. + +** John 18:4 + +Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom seek ye? + +** John 18:5 + +They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. + +** John 18:6 + +As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward and fell to the ground. + +** John 18:7 + +Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth. + +** John 18:8 + +Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way, + +** John 18:9 + +That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one. + +** John 18:10 + +Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of thee servant was Malchus. + +** John 18:11 + +Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my father hath given me, shall I not drink it? + +** John 18:12 + +Then the band and the tribune and the servants of the Jews took Jesus and bound him. + +** John 18:13 + +And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year. + +** John 18:14 + +Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people. + +** John 18:15 + +And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. + +** John 18:16 + +But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the portress and brought in Peter. + +** John 18:17 + +The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciple? He saith I am not. + +** John 18:18 + +Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing and warming himself. + +** John 18:19 + +The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine. + +** John 18:20 + +Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort: and in secret I have spoken nothing. + +** John 18:21 + +Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold they know what things I have said. + +** John 18:22 + +And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so? + +** John 18:23 + +Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me? + +** John 18:24 + +And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest. + +** John 18:25 + +And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said: I am not. + +** John 18:26 + +One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did not I see thee in the garden with him? + +** John 18:27 + +Again therefore Peter denied: and immediately the cock crew. + +** John 18:28 + +Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning: and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch. + +** John 18:29 + +Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man? + +** John 18:30 + +They answered and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee. + +** John 18:31 + +Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. + +** John 18:32 + +That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die. + +** John 18:33 + +Pilate therefore went into the hall again and called Jesus and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews? + +** John 18:34 + +Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me? + +** John 18:35 + +Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done? + +** John 18:36 + +Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence. + +** John 18:37 + +Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. + +** John 18:38 + +Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews and saith to them: I find no cause in him. + +** John 18:39 + +But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the Pasch. Will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? + +** John 18:40 + +Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. + +* John 19 + +** John 19:1 + +Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. + +** John 19:2 + +And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head: and they put on him a purple garment. + +** John 19:3 + +And they came to him and said: Hail, king of the Jews. And they gave him blows. + +** John 19:4 + +Pilate therefore went forth again and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him. + +** John 19:5 + +(Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man. + +** John 19:6 + +When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him. + +** John 19:7 + +The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. + +** John 19:8 + +When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more. + +** John 19:9 + +And he entered into the hall again; and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. + +** John 19:10 + +Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee? + +** John 19:11 + +Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee hath the greater sin. + +** John 19:12 + +And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. + +** John 19:13 + +Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha. + +** John 19:14 + +And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king. + +** John 19:15 + +But they cried out: Away with him: Away with him: Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar. + +** John 19:16 + +Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him forth. + +** John 19:17 + +And bearing his own cross, he went forth to the place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha. + +** John 19:18 + +Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. + +** John 19:19 + +And Pilate wrote a title also: and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. + +** John 19:20 + +This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. + +** John 19:21 + +Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not: The King of the Jews. But that he said: I am the King of the Jews. + +** John 19:22 + +Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written. + +** John 19:23 + +The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. + +** John 19:24 + +They said then one to another: Let us not cut it but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things. + +** John 19:25 + +Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. + +** John 19:26 + +When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. + +** John 19:27 + +After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. + +** John 19:28 + +Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst. + +** John 19:29 + +Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, put it to his mouth. + +** John 19:30 + +Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. + +** John 19:31 + +Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that they might be taken away. + +** John 19:32 + +The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him. + +** John 19:33 + +But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. + +** John 19:34 + +But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and immediately there came out blood and water. + +** John 19:35 + +And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe. + +** John 19:36 + +For these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him. + +** John 19:37 + +And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced. + +** John 19:38 + +And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. + +** John 19:39 + +And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. + +** John 19:40 + +They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. + +** John 19:41 + +Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid. + +** John 19:42 + +There, therefore, because of the parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus: because the sepulchre was nigh at hand. + +* John 20 + +** John 20:1 + +And on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen cometh early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre: and she saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre. + +** John 20:2 + +She ran therefore and cometh to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and saith to them: They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre: and we know not where they have laid him. + +** John 20:3 + +Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple: and they came to the sepulchre. + +** John 20:4 + +And they both ran together: and that other disciple did outrun Peter and came first to the sepulchre. + +** John 20:5 + +And when he stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying: but yet he went not in. + +** John 20:6 + +Then cometh Simon Peter, following him, and went into the sepulchre: and saw the linen cloths lying, + +** John 20:7 + +And the napkin that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but apart, wrapped up into one place. + +** John 20:8 + +Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the sepulchre: and he saw and believed. + +** John 20:9 + +For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. + +** John 20:10 + +The disciples therefore departed again to their home. + +** John 20:11 + +But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre, + +** John 20:12 + +And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. + +** John 20:13 + +They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord: and I know not where they have laid him. + +** John 20:14 + +When she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing: and she knew not that it was Jesus. + +** John 20:15 + +Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, thinking that it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him: and I will take him away. + +** John 20:16 + +Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master). + +** John 20:17 + +Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me: for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God. + +** John 20:18 + +Mary Magdalen cometh and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord; and these things he said to me. + +** John 20:19 + +Now when it was late the same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace be to you. + +** John 20:20 + +And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. + +** John 20:21 + +He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. + +** John 20:22 + +When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. + +** John 20:23 + +Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. + +** John 20:24 + +Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. + +** John 20:25 + +The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the place of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. + +** John 20:26 + +And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said: Peace be to you. + +** John 20:27 + +Then he said to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither and see my hands. And bring hither the hand and put it into my side. And be not faithless, but believing. + +** John 20:28 + +Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God. + +** John 20:29 + +Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and have believed. + +** John 20:30 + +Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book. + +** John 20:31 + +But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name. + +* John 21 + +** John 21:1 + +After this, Jesus shewed himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he shewed himself after this manner. + +** John 21:2 + +There were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two others of his disciples. + +** John 21:3 + +Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing. + +** John 21:4 + +But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. + +** John 21:5 + +Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No. + +** John 21:6 + +He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship; and you shall find. They cast therefore: and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes. + +** John 21:7 + +That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord.

And although there were so many, the net was not broken. + +** John 21:12 + +Jesus saith to them: Come and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? Knowing that it was the Lord. + +** John 21:13 + +And Jesus cometh and taketh bread and giveth them: and fish in like manner. + +** John 21:14 + +This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead. + +** John 21:15 + +When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. + +** John 21:16 + +He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. + +** John 21:17 + +He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me?

The oxen also, and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword. + +** Joshua 6:22 + +But Joshua said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot's house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath. + +** Joshua 6:23 + +And the young men went in, and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also, and all her goods, and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp. + +** Joshua 6:24 + +But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated unto the treasury of the Lord. _ + +** Joshua 6:25 + +But Joshua saved Rahab the harlot, and her father's house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho.

But Joshua staid that night in the midst of the people, + +** Joshua 8:10 + +And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army, environed with the aid of the fighting men. + +** Joshua 8:11 + +And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst. + +** Joshua 8:12 + +And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city: + +** Joshua 8:13 + +But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Joshua went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley. + +** Joshua 8:14 + +And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array, toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back. + +** Joshua 8:15 + +But Joshua, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness. + +** Joshua 8:16 + +But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city, + +** Joshua 8:17 + +And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out, + +** Joshua 8:18 + +The Lord said to Joshua: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee. + +** Joshua 8:19 + +And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush, that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it, and set it on fire. + +** Joshua 8:20 + +And the men of the city, that pursued after Joshua, looking back, and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued. + +** Joshua 8:21 + +So Joshua, and all Israel, seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned, and slew the men of Hai. + +** Joshua 8:22 + +And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved. + +** Joshua 8:23 + +And they took the king of the city of Hai alive and brought him to Joshua. + +** Joshua 8:24 + +So all being slain that had pursued after Israel, in his flight to the wilderness, and falling by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city. + +** Joshua 8:25 + +And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons, all of the city of Hai. + +** Joshua 8:26 + +But Joshua drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain. + +** Joshua 8:27 + +And the children of Israel divided among them, the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Joshua. + +** Joshua 8:28 + +And he burnt the city, and made it a heap forever: + +** Joshua 8:29 + +And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet, until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Joshua commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day. + +** Joshua 8:30 + +Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount Hebal, + +** Joshua 8:31 + +As Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones, which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings. + +** Joshua 8:32 + +And he wrote upon stones, the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel. + +** Joshua 8:33 + +And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by Mount Garizim, and half by Mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord, had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel. + +** Joshua 8:34 + +After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing, and all things that were written in the book of the law. + +** Joshua 8:35 + +He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children, and strangers, that dwelt among them. + +* Joshua 9 + +** Joshua 9:1 + +Now when these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains, and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, + +** Joshua 9:2 + +Gathered themselves together, to fight against Joshua and Israel with one mind, and one resolution. + +** Joshua 9:3 + +But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Joshua had done to Jericho and Hai: + +** Joshua 9:4 + +Cunningly devising took for themselves provisions, laying old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles rent and sewed up again, + +** Joshua 9:5 + +And very old shoes, which for a show of age were clouted with patches, and old garments upon them: the loaves also, which they carried for provisions by the way, were hard, and broken into pieces: + +** Joshua 9:6 + +And they went to Joshua, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him, and to all Israel with him: We are come from a far country, desiring to make peace with you. And the children of Israel answered them, and said: + +** Joshua 9:7 + +Perhaps you dwell in the land which falls to our lot; if so, we can make no league with you. + +** Joshua 9:8 + +But they said to Joshua: We are thy servants. Joshua said to them: Who are you? and whence came you? + +** Joshua 9:9 + +They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt. + +** Joshua 9:10 + +And to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon, king of Hesebon, and Og, king of Basan, that was in Astaroth: + +** Joshua 9:11 + +And our ancients, and all the inhabitants of our country, said to us: Take with you victuals for a long way, and go meet them, and say: We are your servants, make ye a league with us. + +** Joshua 9:12 + +Behold, these loaves we took hot, when we set out from our houses to come to you, now they are become dry, and broken in pieces by being exceeding old. + +** Joshua 9:13 + +These bottles of wine when we filled them were new, now they are rent and burst. These garments we have on, and the shoes we have on our feet, by reason of the very long journey, are worn out, and almost consumed. + +** Joshua 9:14 + +They took therefore of their victuals, and consulted not the mouth of the Lord. + +** Joshua 9:15 + +And Joshua made peace with them, and entering into a league, promised that they should not be slain: the princes also of the multitude swore to them. + +** Joshua 9:16 + +Now three days after the league was made, they heard that they dwelt nigh, and they should be among them. + +** Joshua 9:17 + +And the children of Israel removed the camp, and came into their cities on the third day, the names of which are, Gabaon, and Caphira, and Beroth, and Cariathiarim. + +** Joshua 9:18 + +And they slew them not, because the princes of the multitude had sworn in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the common people murmured against the princes. + +** Joshua 9:19 + +And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them. + +** Joshua 9:20 + +But this we will do to them: Let their lives be saved, lest the wrath of the Lord be stirred up against us, if we should be forsworn: + +** Joshua 9:21 + +But so let them live, as to serve the whole multitude in hewing wood, and bringing in water. As they were speaking these things, + +** Joshua 9:22 + +Josue called the Gabaonites and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us? + +** Joshua 9:23 + +Therefore you shall be under a curse, and your race shall always be hewers of wood, and carriers of water, into the house of my God. + +** Joshua 9:24 + +They answered: It was told us, thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses, to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives, compelled by the dread we had of you, and we took this counsel. + +** Joshua 9:25 + +And now we are in thy hand: deal with us as it seemeth good and right unto thee. + +** Joshua 9:26 + +So Joshua did as he had said, and delivered them from the hand of the children of Israel, that they should not be slain. + +** Joshua 9:27 + +And he gave orders in that day, that they should be in the service of all the people, and of the altar of the Lord, hewing wood, and carrying water, until this present time, in the place which the Lord hath chosen. + +* Joshua 10 + +** Joshua 10:1 + +When Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, to wit, that Joshua had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai and its king) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates, + +** Joshua 10:2 + +He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant. + +** Joshua 10:3 + +Therefore Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, sent to Oham, king of Hebron, and to Pharam, king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia, king of Lachis, and to Dabir, king of Eglon, saying: + +** Joshua 10:4 + +Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Joshua, and to the children of Israel. + +** Joshua 10:5 + +So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together, went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it. + +** Joshua 10:6 + +But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon, which was besieged, sent to Joshua, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly, and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us. + +** Joshua 10:7 + +And Joshua went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men. + +** Joshua 10:8 + +But the Lord said to Joshua: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee. + +** Joshua 10:9 + +So Joshua going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly. + +** Joshua 10:10 + +And the Lord troubled them, at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter, in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Bethoron, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda. + +** Joshua 10:11 + +And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Bethoron, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven, as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones, than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel, + +** Joshua 10:12 + +Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon. + +** Joshua 10:13 + +And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day. + +** Joshua 10:14 + +There was not before, nor after, so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel. + +** Joshua 10:15 + +And Joshua returned, with all Israel, into the camp of Galgal. + +** Joshua 10:16 + +For the five kings were fled, and had hid themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda. + +** Joshua 10:17 + +And it was told Joshua, that the five kings were found hid in a cave of the city of Maceda. + +** Joshua 10:18 + +And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men to keep them shut up: + +** Joshua 10:19 + +And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands, to shelter themselves in their cities. + +** Joshua 10:20 + +So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities. + +** Joshua 10:21 + +And all the army returned to Joshua, in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health, and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel. + +** Joshua 10:22 + +And Joshua gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein. + +** Joshua 10:23 + +And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon. + +** Joshua 10:24 + +And when they were brought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them, + +** Joshua 10:25 + +He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage, and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight. + +** Joshua 10:26 + +And Joshua struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets; and they hung until the evening. + +** Joshua 10:27 + +And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day. + +** Joshua 10:28 + +The same day Joshua took Maceda, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho. + +** Joshua 10:29 + +And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it: + +** Joshua 10:30 + +And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho. + +** Joshua 10:31 + +From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it. + +** Joshua 10:32 + +And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna. + +** Joshua 10:33 + +At that time Horam, king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Joshua slew him with all his people so as to leave none alive. + +** Joshua 10:34 + +And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it, + +** Joshua 10:35 + +And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis. + +** Joshua 10:36 + +He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it: + +** Joshua 10:37 + +Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it. + +** Joshua 10:38 + +Returning from thence to Dabir, + +** Joshua 10:39 + +He took it, and destroyed it: the king also thereof, and all the towns round about, he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna, and to their kings, so did he to Dabir, and to the king thereof. + +** Joshua 10:40 + +So Joshua conquered all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him. + +** Joshua 10:41 + +From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon, + +** Joshua 10:42 + +And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him. + +** Joshua 10:43 + +And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal. + +* Joshua 11 + +** Joshua 11:1 + +And when Jabin king of Asor had heard these things, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Semeron, and to the king of Achsaph: + +** Joshua 11:2 + +And to the kings of the north, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains over against the south side of Ceneroth, and in the levels and the countries of Dor by the sea side: + +** Joshua 11:3 + +To the Chanaanites also on the east and on the west, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Jebusite in the mountains: to the Hevite also who dwelt at the foot of Hermon in the land of Maspha. + +** Joshua 11:4 + +And they all came out with their troops, a people exceeding numerous as the sand that is on the sea shore, their horses also and chariots a very great multitude, + +** Joshua 11:5 + +And all these kings assembled together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. + +** Joshua 11:6 + +And the Lord said to Joshua: Fear them not: for to morrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire. + +** Joshua 11:7 + +And Joshua came, and all the army with him, against them to the waters of Merom on a sudden, and fell upon them. + +** Joshua 11:8 + +And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon and the waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them: + +** Joshua 11:9 + +And he did as the Lord had commanded him, he hamstringed their horses and burned their chariots. + +** Joshua 11:10 + +And presently turning back he took Asor: and slew the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these kingdoms. + +** Joshua 11:11 + +And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire. + +** Joshua 11:12 + +And he took and put to the sword and destroyed all the cities round about, and their kings, as Moses the servant of God had commanded him. + +** Joshua 11:13 + +Except the cities that were on hills and high places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire. + +** Joshua 11:14 + +And the children of Israel divided among themselves all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, killing all the men. + +** Joshua 11:15 + +As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and he accomplished all: he left not one thing undone of all the commandments which the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Joshua 11:16 + +So Joshua took all the country of the hills, and of the south, and the land of Gosen, and the plains and the west country, and the mountain of Israel, and the plains thereof: + +** Joshua 11:17 + +And part of the mountain that goeth up to Seir as far as Baalgad, by the plain of Libanus under mount Hermon: all their kings he took, smote and slew. + +** Joshua 11:18 + +Joshua made war a long time against these kings. + +** Joshua 11:19 + +There was not a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight. + +** Joshua 11:20 + +For it was the sentence of the Lord, that their hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Joshua 11:21 + +At that time Joshua came and cut off the Enancims from the mountains, from Hebron, and Dabir, and Anab, and from all the mountain of Juda and Israel, and destroyed their cities. + +** Joshua 11:22 + +He left not any of the stock of the Enacims, in the land of the children of Israel: except the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and Azotus, in which alone they were left. + +** Joshua 11:23 + +So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord spoke to Moses, and delivered it in possession to the children of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from wars. + +* Joshua 12 + +** Joshua 12:1 + +These are the kings, whom the children of Israel slew and possessed their land beyond the Jordan towards the rising of the sun, from the torrent Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the east country that looketh towards the wilderness. + +** Joshua 12:2 + +Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon, and had dominion from Aroer, which is seated upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, and of the middle part in the valley, and of half Galaad, as far as the torrent Jaboc, which is the border of the children of Ammon. + +** Joshua 12:3 + +And from the wilderness, to the sea of Ceneroth towards the east, and to the sea of the wilderness, which is the most salt sea, on the east side by the way that leadeth to Bethsimoth: and on the south side that lieth under Asedoth, Phasga. + +** Joshua 12:4 + +The border of Og the king of Basan, of the remnant of the Raphaims who dwelt in Astaroth, and in Edrai, and had dominion in mount Hermon, and in Salecha, and in all Basan, unto the borders + +** Joshua 12:5 + +Of Gessuri and Machati, and of half Galaad: the borders of Sehon the king of Hesebon. + +** Joshua 12:6 + +Moses the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel slew them, and Moses delivered their land in possession to the Rubenites, and Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses. + +** Joshua 12:7 + +These are the kings of the land, whom Joshua and the children of Israel slew beyond the Jordan on the west side from Baalgad in the field of Libanus, unto the mount, part of which goeth up into Seir: and Joshua delivered it in possession to the tribes of Israel, to every one their divisions, + +** Joshua 12:8 + +As well in the mountains as in the plains and the champaign countries.

of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them. + +* Joshua 14 + +** Joshua 14:1 + +This is what the children of Israel possessed in the land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gave to them. + +** Joshua 14:2 + +Dividing all by lot, as the Lord had commanded the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and the half tribe. + +** Joshua 14:3 + +For to two tribes and a half Moses had given possession beyond the Jordan: besides the Levites, who received no land among their brethren: + +** Joshua 14:4 + +But in their place succeeded the children of Joseph divided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Levites receive other portion of land, but cities to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed their beasts and flocks. + +** Joshua 14:5 + +As the Lord had commanded Moses so did the children of Israel, and they divided the land. + +** Joshua 14:6 + +Then the children of Juda came to Joshua in Galgal, and Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite spoke to him: Thou knowest what the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God

seemed true, + +** Joshua 14:8 + +But my brethren, that had gone up with me, discouraged the heart of the people: and I nevertheless followed the Lord my God. + +** Joshua 14:9 + +And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord my God. + +** Joshua 14:10 + +The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day, It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-five

14:12 + +Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me. + +** Joshua 14:13 + +And Joshua blessed him, and gave him Hebron in possession. + +** Joshua 14:14 + +And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the God of Israel. + +** Joshua 14:15 + +The name of Hebron before was called Cariath-Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was laid there and the land rested from wars. + +* Joshua 15 + +** Joshua 15:1 + +Now the lot of the children of Juda by their kindreds was this: From the frontier of Edom, to the desert of Sin southward, and to the uttermost part of the south coast. + +** Joshua 15:2 + +Its beginning was from the top of the most salt sea, and from the bay thereof, that looketh to the south. + +** Joshua 15:3 + +And it goeth out towards the ascent of the Scorpion, and passeth on to Sina: and ascendeth into Cadesbarne, and reacheth into Esron, going up to Addar, and compassing Carcaa. + +** Joshua 15:4 + +And from thence passing along into Asemona, and reaching the torrent of Egypt: and the bounds thereof shall be the great sea, this shall be the limit of the south coast. + +** Joshua 15:5 + +But on the east side the beginning shall be the most salt sea even to the end of the Jordan: and towards the north from the bay of the sea unto the same river Jordan. + +** Joshua 15:6 + +And the border goeth up into Beth-Hagla, and passeth by the north into Beth-Araba: going up to the stone of Boen the son of Ruben. + +** Joshua 15:7 + +And reaching as far as the borders of Debara from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Galgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adommin, on the south side of the torrent, and the border passeth the waters that are called the fountain of the sun: and the goings out thereof shall be at the fountain Rogel. + +** Joshua 15:8 + +And it goeth up by the valley of the son of Ennom on the side of the Jebusite towards the south, the same is Jerusalem: and thence ascending to the top of the mountain, which is over against Geennom to the west in the end of the valley of Raphaim, northward. + +** Joshua 15:9 + +And it passeth on from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the water of Nephtoa: and reacheth to the towns of mount Ephron: and it bendeth towards Baala, which is Cariathiarim, that is to say, the city of the woods. + +** Joshua 15:10 + +And it compasseth from Baala westward unto mount Seir: and passeth by the side of mount Jarim to the north into Cheslon: and goeth down into Bethsames, and passeth into Thamna. + +** Joshua 15:11 + +And reacheth northward to a part of Accaron at the side: and bendeth to Sechrona, and passeth mount Baala: and cometh into Jebneel, and is bounded westward with the great sea. + +** Joshua 15:12 + +These are the borders round about of the children of Juda in their kindreds. + +** Joshua 15:13 + +But to Caleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda, as the Lord had commanded him: Cariath-Arbe the father of Enac, which is Hebron. + +** Joshua 15:14 + +And Caleb destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac, Sesai and Ahiman, and Tholmai of the race of Enac. + +** Joshua 15:15 + +And going up from thence he came to the inhabitants of Dabir, which before was called Cariath-Sepher, that is to say, the city of letters. + +** Joshua 15:16 + +And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife. + +** Joshua 15:17 + +And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Axa his daughter to wife. + +** Joshua 15:18 + +And as they were going together, she was moved by her husband to ask a field of her father, and she sighed as she sat on her ass. And Caleb said to her: What aileth thee? + +** Joshua 15:19 + +But she answered: Give me a blessing: thou hast given me a southern and dry land, give me also a land that Is watered. And Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground. + +** Joshua 15:20 + +This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Juda by their kindreds. + +** Joshua 15:21 + +And the cities from the uttermost parts of the children of Juda by the borders of Edom to the south, were Cabseel and Eder and Jagur, + +** Joshua 15:22 + +And Cina and Dimona and Adada, + +** Joshua 15:23 + +And Cades and Asor and Jethnam, + +** Joshua 15:24 + +Ziph and Telem and Baloth, + +** Joshua 15:25 + +New Asor and Carioth, Hesron, which is Asor. + +** Joshua 15:26 + +Amam, Sama and Molada, + +** Joshua 15:27 + +And Asergadda and Hassemon and Bethphelet, + +** Joshua 15:28 + +And Hasersual and Bersabee and Baziothia, + +** Joshua 15:29 + +And Baala and Jim and Esem, + +** Joshua 15:30 + +And Eltholad and Cesil and Harma, + +** Joshua 15:31 + +And Siceleg and Medemena and Sensenna, + +** Joshua 15:32 + +Lebaoth and Selim and Aen and Remmon: all the cities twenty-nine, and their villages. + +** Joshua 15:33 + +But in the plains: Estaol and Sarea and Asena, + +** Joshua 15:34 + +And Zanoe and Engannim and Taphua and Enaim, + +** Joshua 15:35 + +And Jerimoth and Adullam, Socho and Azeca, + +** Joshua 15:36 + +And Saraim and Adithaim and Gedera and Gederothaim: fourteen cities, and their villages. + +** Joshua 15:37 + +Sanan and Hadassa and Magdalgad, + +** Joshua 15:38 + +Delean and Masepha and Jecthel, + +** Joshua 15:39 + +Lachis and Bascath and Eglon, + +** Joshua 15:40 + +Chebbon and Leheman and Cethlis, + +** Joshua 15:41 + +And Gideroth and Bethdagon and Naama and Maceda: sixteen cities, and their villages. + +** Joshua 15:42 + +Labana and Ether and Asan, + +** Joshua 15:43 + +Jephtha and Esna and Nesib, + +** Joshua 15:44 + +And Ceila and Achzib and Maresa: nine cities, and their villages. + +** Joshua 15:45 + +Accaron with the towns and villages thereof. + +** Joshua 15:46 + +From Accaron even to the sea: all places that lie towards Azotus and the villages thereof. + +** Joshua 15:47 + +Azotus with its towns and villages.

according to the commandment of the Lord, cities and their suburbs. + +** Joshua 21:4 + +And the lot came out for the family of Caath of the children of Aaron the priest out of the tribes of Juda, and

suburbs, which were given to the children of Caath, of the inferior degree. + +** Joshua 21:27 + +To the children of Gerson also of the race of Levi out of the half tribe of Manasses, Gaulon in Basan, one of the cities of refuge, and Bosra, with their suburbs, two cities. + +** Joshua 21:28 + +And of the tribe of Issachar, Cesion, and Dabereth, + +** Joshua 21:29 + +And Jaramoth, and Engannim, with

tribe also of Nephtali, Cedes in Galilee, one of the cities of refuge: and Hammoth Dor, and Carthan, with their suburbs, three cities. + +** Joshua 21:33 + +All the cities of the families of Gerson, were thirteen, with their suburbs. + +** Joshua 21:34 + +And to the children of Merari, Levites of the inferior degree, by their families were given of the tribe of Zabulon, Jecnam and Cartha, + +** Joshua 21:35 + +And Damna and Naalol, four cities with their suburbs. + +** Joshua 21:36 + +Of the tribe of Ruben beyond the Jordan over against Jericho, Bosor in the wilderness, one of the cities of

Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight, + +** Joshua 21:40 + +With their suburbs, each distributed by the families. + +** Joshua 21:41 + +And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it. + +** Joshua 21:42 + +And he gave them peace from all nations round about: and none of their enemies durst stand against them, but were brought under their dominion. + +** Joshua 21:43 + +Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass. + +* Joshua 22 + +** Joshua 22:1 + +At the same time Joshua called the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses, + +** Joshua 22:2 + +And said to them: You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: you have also obeyed me in all things, + +** Joshua 22:3 + +Neither have you left your brethren this long time, until this present day, keeping the commandment of the Lord your God. + +** Joshua 22:4 + +Therefore as the Lord your God hath given your brethren rest and peace, as he promised: return, and go to your dwellings, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan: + +** Joshua 22:5 + +Yet so that you observe attentively, and in work fulfil the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the

22:6 + +And Joshua blessed them, and sent them away, and they returned to their dwellings. + +** Joshua 22:7 + +Now to half the tribe of Manasses, Moses had given a possession in Basan: and therefore to the half that remained, Joshua gave a lot among the rest of their brethren beyond the Jordan to the west. And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had blessed them, + +** Joshua 22:8 + +He said to them: With much substance and riches, you return to your settlements, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and variety of raiment: divide the prey of your enemies with your brethren. + +** Joshua 22:9 + +So the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses returned, and parted from the children of Israel in Silo, which is in Chanaan, to go into Galaad the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses. + +** Joshua 22:10 + +And when they were come to banks of the Jordan, in the land of Chanaan, they built an altar immensely great near the Jordan. + +** Joshua 22:11 + +And when the children of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers brought them an account that the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses had built an altar in the land of Chanaan, upon the banks of the Jordan, over against the children of Israel: + +** Joshua 22:12 + +They all assembled in Silo, to go up and fight against them. + +** Joshua 22:13 + +And in the mean time they sent to them into the land of Galaad, Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, + +** Joshua 22:14 + +And ten princes with him, one of every tribe. + +** Joshua 22:15 + +Who came to the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses, into the land of Galaad, and said to them: + +** Joshua 22:16 + +Thus saith all the people of the Lord: What meaneth this transgression? Why have you forsaken the Lord the God of Israel, building a sacrilegious altar, and revolting from the worship of him? + +** Joshua 22:17 + +Is it a small thing to you that you sinned with Beelphegor, and the stain of that crime remaineth in us to this day? and many of the people perished. + +** Joshua 22:18 + +And you have forsaken the Lord to day, and to morrow his wrath will rage against all Israel. + +** Joshua 22:19 + +But if you think the land of your possession to be unclean, pass over to the land wherein is the tabernacle of the Lord, and dwell among us: only depart not from the Lord, and from our society, by building an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God. + +** Joshua 22:20 + +Did not Achan the son of Zare transgress the commandment of the Lord, and his wrath lay upon all the people of Israel? And he was but one man, and would to God he alone had perished in his wickedness. + +** Joshua 22:21 + +And the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasses answered the princes of the embassage of Israel: + +** Joshua 22:22 + +The Lord the most mighty God, the Lord the most mighty God, he knoweth, and Israel also shall understand: If with the design of transgression we have set up this altar, let him not save us, but punish us immediately: + +** Joshua 22:23 + +And if we did it with that mind, that we might lay upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him require and judge: + +** Joshua 22:24 + +And not rather with this thought and design, that we should say: To morrow your children will say to our children: What have you to do with the Lord the God of Israel? + +** Joshua 22:25 + +The Lord hath put the river Jordan for a border between us and you, O ye children of Ruben, and ye children of Gad: and therefore you have no part in the Lord. And by this occasion your children shall turn away our children from the fear of the Lord. We therefore thought it best, + +** Joshua 22:26 + +And said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, nor to offer victims, + +** Joshua 22:27 + +But for a testimony between us and you, and our posterity and yours, that we may serve the Lord, and that we may have a right to offer both holocausts, and victims and sacrifices of peace offerings: and that your children to morrow may not say to our children: You have no part in the Lord. + +** Joshua 22:28 + +And if they will say so, they shall answer them: Behold the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for holocausts, nor for sacrifice, but for a testimony between us and you. + +** Joshua 22:29 + +God keep us from any such wickedness that we should revolt from the Lord, and leave off following his steps, by building an altar to offer holocausts, and sacrifices, and victims, beside the altar of the Lord our God, which is erected before his tabernacle. + +** Joshua 22:30 + +And when Phinees the priest, and the princes of the embassage, who were with him, had heard this, they were satisfied: and they admitted most willingly the words of the children of Ruben, and Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasses, + +** Joshua 22:31 + +And Phinees the priest the son of Eleazar said to them: Now we know that the Lord is with us, because you are not guilty of this revolt, and you have delivered the children of Israel from the hand of the Lord. + +** Joshua 22:32 + +And he returned with the princes from the children of Ruben and Gad, out of the land of Galaad, into the land of Chanaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again. + +** Joshua 22:33 + +And the saying pleased all that heard it. And the children of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession. + +** Joshua 22:34 + +And the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad called the altar which they had built, Our testimony, that the Lord is God, + +* Joshua 23 + +** Joshua 23:1 + +And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued. and Joshua being now old, and far advanced in years: + +** Joshua 23:2 + +Joshua called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years, + +** Joshua 23:3 + +And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you: + +** Joshua 23:4 + +And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, ant many nations yet remain: + +** Joshua 23:5 + +The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you. + +** Joshua 23:6 + +Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left: + +** Joshua 23:7 + +Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them: + +** Joshua 23:8 + +But cleave ye unto the Lord your God, as you have done until this day. + +** Joshua 23:9 + +And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you. + +** Joshua 23:10 + +One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised. + +** Joshua 23:11 + +This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God. + +** Joshua 23:12 + +But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships: + +** Joshua 23:13 + +Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumbling-block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you. + +** Joshua 23:14 + +Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed, + +** Joshua 23:15 + +Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you, + +** Joshua 23:16 + +When you shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods, and adored them: then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this excellent land, which he hath delivered to you. + +* Joshua 24 + +** Joshua 24:1 + +And Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord: + +** Joshua 24:2 + +And he spoke thus to the people: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Thare the father of Abraham, and Nachor: and they served strange gods. + +** Joshua 24:3 + +And I took your father Abraham from the borders of Mesopotamia: and brought him into the land of Chanaan: and I multiplied his seed, + +** Joshua 24:4 + +And gave him Isaac: and to him again I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau mount Seir for his possession: but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. + +** Joshua 24:5 + +And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and wonders. + +** Joshua 24:6 + +And I brought you and your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea: and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea. + +** Joshua 24:7 + +And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time. + +** Joshua 24:8 + +And I brought you into the land of the Amorrhite, who dwelt beyond the Jordan.

Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem. + +** Judges 5:13 + +The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones. + +** Judges 5:14 + +Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight. + +** Judges 5:15 + +The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men. + +** Judges 5:16 + +Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayst hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men. + +** Judges 5:17 + +Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens. + +** Judges 5:18 + +But Zabulon and Nephthali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome. + +** Judges 5:19 + +The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanac, by the waters of Mageddo and yet they took no spoils. + +** Judges 5:20 + +There was war made against them from heaven: the stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisara. + +** Judges 5:21 + +The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cison: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones. + +** Judges 5:22 + +The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down. + +** Judges 5:23 + +Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men. + +** Judges 5:24 + +Blessed among women be Jahel, the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent. + +** Judges 5:25 + +He asked her water, and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes. + +** Judges 5:26 + +She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples. + +** Judges 5:27 + +Between her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and there he lay lifeless and wretched. + +** Judges 5:28 + +His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow? + +** Judges 5:29 + +One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law: + +** Judges 5:30 + +Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn necks. + +** Judges 5:31 + +So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. + +** Judges 5:32 + +And the land rested for forty years. + +* Judges 6 + +** Judges 6:1 + +And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years, + +** Judges 6:2 + +And they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and caves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist. + +** Judges 6:3 + +And when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations, came up: + +** Judges 6:4 + +And pitching their tents among them, wasted all things as they were in the blade, even to the entrance of Gaza: and they left nothing at all in Israel for sustenance of life, nor sheep, nor oxen, nor asses. + +** Judges 6:5 + +For they and all their flocks came with their tents, and like locusts filled all places, an innumerable multitude of men, and of camels, wasting whatsoever they touched. + +** Judges 6:6 + +And Israel was humbled exceedingly in the sight of Madian. + +** Judges 6:7 + +And he cried to the Lord, desiring help against the Madianites. + +** Judges 6:8 + +And he sent unto them a prophet, and he spoke: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: I made you to come up out of Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage, + +** Judges 6:9 + +And delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians, and of all the enemies that afflicted you: and I cast them out at your coming in, and gave you their land. + +** Judges 6:10 + +And I said: I am the Lord your God, fear not the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell. And you would not hear my voice. + +** Judges 6:11 + +And an angel of the Lord came, and sat under an oak that was in Ephra, and belonged to Joas, the father of the family of Ezri. And when Gedeon, his son, was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian, + +** Judges 6:12 + +The angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said: The Lord is with thee, O most valiant of men. + +** Judges 6:13 + +And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us out of Egypt but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hand of Madian. + +** Judges 6:14 + +And the Lord looked upon him, and said: Go, in this thy strength, and thou shalt deliver Israel out of the hand of Madian: know that I have sent thee. + +** Judges 6:15 + +He answered, and said: I beseech thee, my lord wherewith shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father's house. + +** Judges 6:16 + +And the Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian as one man. + +** Judges 6:17 + +And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me: + +** Judges 6:18 + +And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming. + +** Judges 6:19 + +So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him. + +** Judges 6:20 + +And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so, + +** Judges 6:21 + +The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight. + +** Judges 6:22 + +And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face. + +** Judges 6:23 + +And the Lord said to him: Peace be with thee: fear not, thou shalt not die. + +** Judges 6:24 + +And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord's peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri, + +** Judges 6:25 + +That night the Lord said to him: Take a bullock of thy father's, and another bullock of seven years, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal, which is thy father's: and cut down the grove that is about the altar: + +** Judges 6:26 + +And thou shalt build un altar to the Lord thy God, in the top of this rock, whereupon thou didst lay the sacrifice before: and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which thou shalt cut down out of the grove. + +** Judges 6:27 + +Then Gedeon, taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night. + +** Judges 6:28 + +And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built. + +** Judges 6:29 + +And they said one to another: Who hath done this? And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon, the son of Joas, did all this. + +** Judges 6:30 + +And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove. + +** Judges 6:31 + +He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. + +** Judges 6:32 + +From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joas had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. + +** Judges 6:33 + +Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people, were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael. + +** Judges 6:34 + +But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he sounded the trumpet, and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him. + +** Judges 6:35 + +And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him : and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon, and Nephthali, and they came to meet him. + +** Judges 6:36 + +And Gedeon said to God: If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said, + +** Judges 6:37 + +I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew in the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel. + +** Judges 6:38 + +And it was so. And rising before day, wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew. + +** Judges 6:39 + +And he said again to God: Let not thy wrath be kindled against me, if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew. + +** Judges 6:40 + +And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. + +* Judges 7 + +** Judges 7:1 + +Then Jerobaal, who is the same as Gedeon, rising up early, and all the people with him, came to the fountain that is called Harad. Now the camp of Madian was in the valley, on the north side of the high hill. + +** Judges 7:2 + +And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people that are with thee are many, and Madian shall not be delivered into their hands: lest Israel should glory against me, and say: I was delivered by my own strength. + +** Judges 7:3 + +Speak to the people, and proclaim in the hearing of all: Whosoever is fearful and timorous, let him return. So two and twenty thousand men went away from Mount Galaad and returned home, and only ten thousand remained. + +** Judges 7:4 + +And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people are still too many, bring them to the waters, and there I will try them: and of whom I shall say to thee, This shall go with thee, let him go: whom I shall forbid to go, let him return. + +** Judges 7:5 + +And when the people were come down to the waters, the Lord said to Gedeon: They that shall lap the water with their tongues, as dogs are wont to lap, thou shalt set apart by themselves: but they that shall drink bowing down their knees, shall be on the other side. + +** Judges 7:6 + +And the number of them that had lapped water; casting it with the hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: and all the rest of the multitude had drunk kneeling. + +** Judges 7:7 + +And the Lord said to Gedeon: By the three hundred men, that lapped water, I will save you, and deliver Madian into thy hand: but let all the rest of the people return to their place. + +** Judges 7:8 + +So taking victuals and trumpets according to their number, he ordered all the rest of the multitude to depart to their tents: and he with the three hundred gave himself to the battle. Now the camp of Madia was beneath him in the valley. + +** Judges 7:9 + +The same night the Lord said to him: Arise, and go down into the camp: because I have delivered them into thy hand. + +** Judges 7:10 + +But if thou be afraid to go alone, let Phara, thy servant, go down with thee. + +** Judges 7:11 + +And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies' camp. And he went down with Phara his servant, into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms. + +** Judges 7:12 + +But Madian and Amalec, and all the eastern people, lay scattered in the valley, as a multitude of locusts: their camels also were innumerable, as the sand that lieth on the sea shore. + +** Judges 7:13 + +And when Gedeon was come, one told his neighbour a dream: and in this manner related what he had seen: I dreamt a dream, and it seemed to me as if a hearth cake of barley bread rolled and came down into the camp of Madian: and when it was come to a tent, it struck it, and beat it down flat to the ground. + +** Judges 7:14 + +He to whom he spoke, answered: This is nothing else but the sword of Gedeon, the son of Joas, a man of Israel. For the Lord hath delivered Madian, and all their camp into his hand. + +** Judges 7:15 + +And when Gedeon had heard the dream, and the interpretation thereof, he adored: and returned to the camp of Israel, and said: Arise, for the Lord hath delivered the camp of Madian into our hands. + +** Judges 7:16 + +And he divided the three hundred men into three parts, and gave them trumpets in their hands, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. + +** Judges 7:17 + +And he said to them: What you shall see me do, do you the same: I will go into one part of the camp, and do you as I shall do. + +** Judges 7:18 + +When the trumpet shall sound in my hand, do you also blow the trumpets on every side of the camp, and shout together to the Lord and to Gedeon. + +** Judges 7:19 + +And Gedeon, and the three hundred men that were with him, went into part of the camp, at the beginning of the midnight watch, and the watchmen being alarmed, they began to sound their trumpets, and to clap the pitchers one against another. + +** Judges 7:20 + +And when they sounded their trumpets in three places round about the camp, and had broken their pitchers, they held their lamps in their left hands, and with their right hands the trumpets which they blew, and they cried out: The sword of the Lord and of Gedeon: + +** Judges 7:21 + +Standing every man in his place round about the enemies' camp. So all the camp was troubled, and crying out and howling, they fled away: + +** Judges 7:22 + +And the three hundred men nevertheless persisted sounding the trumpets. And the Lord sent the sword into all the camp, and they killed one another, + +** Judges 7:23 + +Fleeing as far as Bethsetta, and the border of Abelmahula, in Tebbath. But the men of Israel, shouting from Nephthali, and Aser, and from all Manasses, pursued after Madian. + +** Judges 7:24 + +And Gedeon sent messengers into all Mount Ephraim, saying: Come down to meet Madian, and take the waters before them to Bethbera and the Jordan. And all Ephraim shouted, and took the waters before them and the Jordan as far as Bethbera. + +** Judges 7:25 + +And having taken two men of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: Oreb they slew in the rock of Oreb, and Zeb in the winepress of Zeb. And they pursued Madian, carrying the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon, beyond the waters of the Jordan. + +* Judges 8 + +** Judges 8:1 + +And the men of Ephraim said to him: What is this that thou meanest to do, that thou wouldst not call us, when thou wentest to fight against Madian? And they chid him sharply, and almost offered violence. + +** Judges 8:2 + +And he answered them: What could I have done like to that which you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer? + +** Judges 8:3 + +The Lord hath delivered into your hands the princes of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: what could I have done like to what you have done? And when he had said this, their spirit was appeased, with which they swelled against him. + +** Judges 8:4 + +And when Gedeon was come to the Jordan, he passed over it with the three hundred men that were with him: who were so weary that they could not pursue after them that fled. + +** Judges 8:5 + +And he said to the men of Soccoth: Give, I beseech you, bread to the people that is with me, for they are faint: that we may pursue Zebee, and Salmana, the kings of Madian. + +** Judges 8:6 + +The princes of Soccoth answered: Peradventure the palms of the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hand, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to thy army. + +** Judges 8:7 + +And he said to them: When the Lord therefore shall have delivered Zebee and Salmana into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert. + +** Judges 8:8 + +And going up from thence, he came to Phanuel: and he spoke the like things to the men of that place. And they also answered him, as the men of Soccoth had answered. + +** Judges 8:9 + +He said, therefore, to them also: When I shall return a conqueror in peace, I will destroy this tower. + +** Judges 8:10 + +But Zebee and Salmana were resting with all their army. For fifteen thousand men were left of all the troops of the eastern people, and one hundred and twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword were slain. + +** Judges 8:11 + +And Gedeon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents, on the east of Nobe and Jegbaa, and smote the camp of the enemies, who were secure, and suspected no hurt. + +** Judges 8:12 + +And Zebee and Salmana fled, and Gedeon pursued and took them, all their host being put in confusion. + +** Judges 8:13 + +And returning from the battle before the sun rising, + +** Judges 8:14 + +He took a boy of the men of Soccoth: and he asked him the names of the princes and ancients of Soccoth, and he described unto him seventy-seven men. + +** Judges 8:15 + +And he came to Soccoth, and said to them: Behold Zebee, and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint. + +** Judges 8:16 + +So he took the ancients of the city, and thorns and briers of the desert, and tore them with the same, and cut in pieces the men of Soccoth. + +** Judges 8:17 + +And he demolished the tower of Phanuel, and slew the men of the city. + +** Judges 8:18 + +And he said to Zebee and Salmana: What manner of men were they, whom you slew in Thabor? They answered: They were like thee, and one of them as the son of a king. + +** Judges 8:19 + +He answered them: They were my brethren, the sons of my mother. As the Lord liveth, if you had saved them, I would not kill you. + +** Judges 8:20 + +And he said to Jether, his eldest son: Arise, and slay them. But he drew not his sword: for he was afraid, being but yet a boy. + +** Judges 8:21 + +And Zebee and Salmana said: Do thou rise and run upon us: because the strength of a man is according to his age: Gedeon rose up, and slew Zebee and Salmana: and he took the ornaments and bosses, with which the necks of the camels of kings are wont to be adorned. + +** Judges 8:22 + +And all the men of Israel said to Gedeon: Rule thou over us, and thy son, and thy son's son: because thou hast delivered us from the hand of Madian. + +** Judges 8:23 + +And he said to them: I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, but the Lord shall rule over you. + +** Judges 8:24 + +And he said to them: I desire one request of you: Give me the earlets of your spoils. For the Ismaelites were accustomed to wear golden earlets. + +** Judges 8:25 + +They answered: We will give them most willingly. And spreading a mantle on the ground, they cast upon it the earlets of the spoils. + +** Judges 8:26 + +And the weight of the earlets that he requested, was a thousand seven hundred sicles of gold, besides the ornaments, and jewels, and purple raiment, which the kings of Madian were wont to use, and besides the golden chains that were about the camels necks. + +** Judges 8:27 + +And Gedeon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city Ephra. And all Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gedeon, and to all his house. + +** Judges 8:28 + +But Madian was humbled before the children of Israel, neither could they any more lift up their heads: but the land rested for forty years, while Gedeon presided. + +** Judges 8:29 + +So Jerobaal, the son of Joas, went and dwelt in his own house: + +** Judges 8:30 + +And he had seventy sons, who came out of his thigh, for he had many wives. + +** Judges 8:31 + +And his concubine, that he had in Sichem, bore him a son, whose name was Abimelech. + +** Judges 8:32 + +And Gedeon, the son of Joas died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father, in Ephra, of the family of Ezri. + +** Judges 8:33 + +But after Gedeon was dead, the children of Israel turned again, and committed fornication with Baalim. And they made a covenant with Baal, that he should be their god: + +** Judges 8:34 + +And they remembered not the Lord their God, who delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies round about: + +** Judges 8:35 + +Neither did they shew mercy to the house of Jerobaal Gedeon, according to all the good things he had done to Israel. + +* Judges 9 + +** Judges 9:1 + +And Abimelech, the son of Jerobaal, went to Sichem, to his mother's brethren, and spoke to them, and to all the kindred of his mother's father, saying: + +** Judges 9:2 + +Speak to all the men of Sichem: whether is better for you that seventy men, all the sons of Jerobaal, should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And withal, consider that I am your bone, and your flesh. + +** Judges 9:3 + +And his mother's brethren spoke of him to all the men of Sichem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying: He is our brother: + +** Judges 9:4 + +And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him. + +** Judges 9:5 + +And he came to his father's house in Ephra, and slew his brethren, the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham, the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden. + +** Judges 9:6 + +And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem. + +** Judges 9:7 + +This being told to Joatham, he went, and stood on the top of Mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you. + +** Judges 9:8 + +The trees went to anoint a king over them: and they said to the olive tree: Reign thou over us. + +** Judges 9:9 + +And it answered: Can I leave my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, to come to be promoted among the trees? + +** Judges 9:10 + +And the trees said to the fig tree: Come thou and reign over us. + +** Judges 9:11 + +And it answered them: Can I leave my sweetness, and my delicious fruits, and go to be promoted among the other trees? + +** Judges 9:12 + +And the trees said to the vine: Come thou and reign over us. + +** Judges 9:13 + +And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees? + +** Judges 9:14 + +And all the trees said to the bramble: Come thou and reign over us. + +** Judges 9:15 + +And it answered them: If, indeed, you mean to make me king, come ye, and rest under my shadow: but if you mean it not, let fire come out from the bramble, and devour the cedars of Libanus. + +** Judges 9:16 + +Now, therefore, if you have done well, and without sin, in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him who fought for you, + +** Judges 9:17 + +And exposed his life to dangers, to deliver you from the hand of Madian, + +** Judges 9:18 + +And you are now risen up against my father's house, and have killed his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother: + +** Judges 9:19 + +If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault, with Jerobaal and his house, rejoice ye, this day, in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you. + +** Judges 9:20 + +But if unjustly: let fire come out from him, and consume the inhabitants of Sichem, and the town of Mello: and let fire come out from the men of Sichem and from the town of Mello, and devour Abimelech. + +** Judges 9:21 + +And when he had said thus, he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech, his brother. + +** Judges 9:22 + +So Abimelech reigned over Israel three years. + +** Judges 9:23 + +And the Lord sent a very evil spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Sichem; who began to detest him, + +** Judges 9:24 + +And to lay the crime of the murder of the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and the shedding of their blood, upon Abimelech, their brother, and upon the rest of the princes of the Sichemites, who aided him. + +** Judges 9:25 + +And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech. + +** Judges 9:26 + +And Gaal, the son of Obed, came with his brethren, and went over to Sichem. And the inhabitants of Sichem, taking courage at his coming, + +** Judges 9:27 + +Went out into the fields, wasting the vineyards, and treading down the grapes: and singing and dancing, they went into the temple of their god, and in their banquets and cups they cursed Abimelech. + +** Judges 9:28 + +And Gaal, the son of Obed, cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul, his servant, ruler over the men of Emor, the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him? + +** Judges 9:29 + +Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come. + +** Judges 9:30 + +For Zebul, the ruler of the city, hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Obed, was very angry, + +** Judges 9:31 + +And sent messengers privately to Abimelech, saying: Behold, Gaal, the son of Obed, is come into Sichem with his brethren, and endeavoureth to set the city against thee. + +** Judges 9:32 + +Arise, therefore, in the night, with the people that is with thee, and lie hid in the field: + +** Judges 9:33 + +And betimes in the morning, at sun rising, set upon the city, and when he shall come out against thee, with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able. + +** Judges 9:34 + +Abimelech, therefore, arose with all his army, by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places. + +** Judges 9:35 + +And Gaal, the son of Obed, went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and all his army with him, from the places of the ambushes. + +** Judges 9:36 + +And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul: Behold, a multitude cometh down from the mountains. And he answered him: Thou seest the shadows of the mountains as if they were the heads of men, and this is thy mistake. + +** Judges 9:37 + +Again Gaal said: Behold, there cometh people down from the midst of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak. + +** Judges 9:38 + +And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst: Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him. + +** Judges 9:39 + +So Gaal went out, in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech, + +** Judges 9:40 + +Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city: + +** Judges 9:41 + +And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions, out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it. + +** Judges 9:42 + +So the day following the people went out into the field. And it was told to Abimelech, + +** Judges 9:43 + +And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose, and set upon them, + +** Judges 9:44 + +With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field. + +** Judges 9:45 + +And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it. + +** Judges 9:46 + +And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem, had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith, where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong. + +** Judges 9:47 + +Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together, + +** Judges 9:48 + +Went up into mount Selmon, he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder, and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do ye out of hand. + +** Judges 9:49 + +So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort, they set it on fire: and so it came to pass, that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the town of Sichem. + +** Judges 9:50 + +Then Abimelech, departing from thence, came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army. + +** Judges 9:51 + +And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves. + +** Judges 9:52 + +And Abimelech, coming near the tower, fought stoutly: and, approaching to the gate, endeavoured to set fire to it: + +** Judges 9:53 + +And behold, a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull. + +** Judges 9:54 + +And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him. + +** Judges 9:55 + +And when he was dead all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes. + +** Judges 9:56 + +And God repaid the evil that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren. + +** Judges 9:57 + +The Sichemites also were rewarded for what they had done, and the curse of Joatham, the son of Jerobaal, came upon them. + +* Judges 10 + +** Judges 10:1 + +After Abimelech, there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola, son of Phua, the uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim: + +** Judges 10:2 + +And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died, and was buried in Samir. + +** Judges 10:3 + +To him succeeded Jair, the Galaadite, who judged Israel for two and twenty years, + +** Judges 10:4 + +Having thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day, in the land of Galaad. + +** Judges 10:5 + +And Jair died, and was buried in the place which is called Camon. + +** Judges 10:6 + +But the children of Israel, adding new sins to their old ones, did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served idols, Baalim and Astaroth, and the gods of Syria, and of Sidon, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines: and they left the Lord, and did not serve him. + +** Judges 10:7 + +And the Lord being angry with them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines, and of the children of Ammon. + +** Judges 10:8 + +And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorrhite, who is in Galaad: + +** Judges 10:9 + +Insomuch that the children of Ammon, passing over the Jordan, wasted Juda, and Benjamin, and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed exceedingly. + +** Judges 10:10 + +And they cried to the Lord, and said, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken the Lord our God, and have served Baalim. + +** Judges 10:11 + +And the Lord said to them: Did not the Egyptians, and the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon, and the Philistines, + +** Judges 10:12 + +The Sidonians also, and Amalec, and Chanaan, oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand? + +** Judges 10:13 + +And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more: + +** Judges 10:14 + +Go, and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress. + +** Judges 10:15 + +And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time. + +** Judges 10:16 + +And saying these things, they cast away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods, and served the Lord their God: and he was touched with their miseries. + +** Judges 10:17 + +And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped in Maspha. + +** Judges 10:18 + +And the princes of Galaad said one to another: Whosoever of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Galaad. + +* Judges 11 + +** Judges 11:1 + +There was at that time Jephte, the Galaadite, a most valiant man, and a warrior, the son of a woman that was a harlot, and his father was Galaad. + +** Judges 11:2 + +Now Galaad had a wife of whom he had sons: who, after they were grown up, thrust out Jephte, saying: Thou canst not inherit in the house of our father, because thou art born of another mother. + +** Judges 11:3 + +Then he fled and avoided them, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered to him needy men and robbers, and they followed him as their prince. + +** Judges 11:4 + +In those days the children of Ammon made war against Israel. + +** Judges 11:5 + +And as they pressed hard upon them, the ancients of Galaad went to fetch Jephte out of the land of Tob to help them: + +** Judges 11:6 + +And they said to him: Come thou, and be our prince, and fight against the children of Ammon. + +** Judges 11:7 + +And he answered them: Are not you the men that hated me, and cast me out of my father's house, and now you are come to me, constrained by necessity? + +** Judges 11:8 + +And the princes of Galaad said to Jephte: For this cause we are now come to thee, that thou mayst go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be head over all the inhabitants of Galaad. + +** Judges 11:9 + +Jephte also said to them: If you be come to me sincerely, that I should fight for you against the children of Ammon, and the Lord shall deliver them into my hand, shall I be your prince? + +** Judges 11:10 + +They answered him: The Lord, who heareth these things, he himself is mediator and witness that we will do as we have promised. + +** Judges 11:11 + +Jephte therefore went with the princes of Galaad, and all the people made him their prince. And Jephte spoke all his words before the Lord in Maspha. + +** Judges 11:12 + +And he sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, to say in his name: What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me, to waste my land? + +** Judges 11:13 + +And he answered them: Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the confines of the Arnon unto the Jaboc and the Jordan: now, therefore, restore the same peaceably to me. + +** Judges 11:14 + +And Jephte again sent word by them, and commanded them to say to the king of Ammon: + +** Judges 11:15 + +Thus saith Jephte: Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon: + +** Judges 11:16 + +But when they came up out of Egypt, he walked through the desert to the Red Sea, and came into Cades. + +** Judges 11:17 + +And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying: Suffer me to pass through thy land. But he would not condescend to his request. He sent also to the king of Moab, who, likewise, refused to give him passage. He abode, therefore, in Cades, + +** Judges 11:18 + +And went round the land of Edom at the side, and the land of Moab: and came over against the east coast of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon: and he would not enter the bounds of Moab. + +** Judges 11:19 + +So Israel sent messengers to Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon, and they said to him: Suffer me to pass through thy land to the river. + +** Judges 11:20 + +But he, also despising the words of Israel, suffered him not to pass through his borders: but gathering an infinite multitude, went out against him to Jasa, and made strong opposition. + +** Judges 11:21 + +And the Lord delivered him, with all his army, into the hands of Israel, and he slew him, and possessed all the land of the Amorrhite, the inhabitant of that country, + +** Judges 11:22 + +And all the coasts thereof from the Arnon to the Jaboc, and from the wilderness to the Jordan. + +** Judges 11:23 + +So the Lord, the God of Israel, destroyed the Amorrhite, his people of Israel fighting against him, and wilt thou now possess his land? + +** Judges 11:24 + +Are not those things which thy god Chamos possesseth, due to thee by right? But what the Lord our God hath obtained by conquest, shall be our possession: + +** Judges 11:25 + +Unless, perhaps, thou art better than Balac, the son of Sephor, king of Moab: or canst shew that he strove against Israel, and fought against him, + +** Judges 11:26 + +Whereas he hath dwelt in Hesebon, and the villages thereof, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan, for three hundred years. Why have you for so long a time attempted nothing about this claim? + +** Judges 11:27 + +Therefore I do not trespass against thee, but thou wrongest me by declaring an unjust war against me. The Lord be judge, and decide this day, between Israel and the children of Ammon. + +** Judges 11:28 + +And the king of the children of Ammon would not hearken to the words of Jephte, which he sent him by the messengers. + +** Judges 11:29 + +Therefore the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephte, and going round Galaad, and Manasses, and Maspha of Galaad, and passing over from thence to the children of Ammon, + +** Judges 11:30 + +He made a vow to the Lord, saying: If thou wilt deliver the children of Ammon into my hands, + +** Judges 11:31 + +Whosoever shall first come forth out of the doors of my house, and shall meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, the same will I offer a holocaust to the Lord. + +** Judges 11:32 + +And Jephte passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hands. + +** Judges 11:33 + +And he smote them from Aroer till you come to Mennith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel, which is set with vineyards, with a very great slaughter: and the children of Ammon were humbled by the children of Israel. + +** Judges 11:34 + +And when Jephte returned into Maspha, to his house, his only daughter met him with timbrels and with dances: for he had no other children. + +** Judges 11:35 + +And when he saw her, he rent his garments, and said: Alas! my daughter, thou hast deceived me, and thou thyself art deceived: for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do no other thing. + +** Judges 11:36 + +And she answered him: My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to the Lord, do unto me whatsoever thou hast promised, since the victory hath been granted to thee, and revenge of thy enemies. + +** Judges 11:37 + +And she said to her father: Grant me only this, which I desire: Let me go, that I may go about the mountains for two months, and may bewail my virginity with my companions. + +** Judges 11:38 + +And he answered her: Go. And he sent her away for two months. And when she was gone with her comrades and companions, she mourned her virginity in the mountains. + +** Judges 11:39 + +And the two months being expired, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed, and she knew no man. From thence came a fashion in Israel, and a custom has been kept: + +** Judges 11:40 + +That, from year to year, the daughters of Israel assemble together, and lament the daughter of Jephte the Galaadite, for four days. + +* Judges 12 + +** Judges 12:1 + +But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house. + +** Judges 12:2 + +And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it. + +** Judges 12:3 + +And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me? + +** Judges 12:4 + +Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses. + +** Judges 12:5 + +And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not: + +** Judges 12:6 + +They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim, two and forty thousand. + +** Judges 12:7 + +And Jephte, the Galaadite, judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad. + +** Judges 12:8 + +After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel: + +** Judges 12:9 + +He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons, of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years: + +** Judges 12:10 + +And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem. + +** Judges 12:11 + +To him succeeded Ahialon, a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years: + +** Judges 12:12 + +And he died, and was buried in Zabulon. + +** Judges 12:13 + +After him, Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel: + +** Judges 12:14 + +And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years: + +** Judges 12:15 + +And he died, and was buried in Pharathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech. + +* Judges 13 + +** Judges 13:1 + +And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years. + +** Judges 13:2 + +Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren. + +** Judges 13:3 + +And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son. + +** Judges 13:4 + +Now therefore beware, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing. + +** Judges 13:5 + +Because thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines. + +** Judges 13:6 + +And when she was come to her husband, she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me: + +** Judges 13:7 + +But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother's womb until the day of his death. + +** Judges 13:8 + +Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the man of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child, that shall be born. + +** Judges 13:9 + +And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel, + +** Judges 13:10 + +She made haste, and ran to her husband: and told him, saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me, whom I saw before. + +** Judges 13:11 + +He rose up, and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am. + +** Judges 13:12 + +And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself? + +** Judges 13:13 + +And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself: + +** Judges 13:14 + +And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfil and observe. + +** Judges 13:15 + +And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee. + +** Judges 13:16 + +And the angel answered him: If thou press me I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord. + +** Judges 13:17 + +And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee? + +** Judges 13:18 + +And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful? + +** Judges 13:19 + +Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on. + +** Judges 13:20 + +And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended also in the same. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground; + +** Judges 13:21 + +And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord, + +** Judges 13:22 + +And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God. + +** Judges 13:23 + +And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands; neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come. + +** Judges 13:24 + +And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. + +** Judges 13:25 + +And the Spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol. + +* Judges 14 + +** Judges 14:1 + +Then Samson went down to Thamnatha, and seeing there a woman of the daughters of the Philistines, + +** Judges 14:2 + +He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife. + +** Judges 14:3 + +And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me; for she hath pleased my eyes. + +** Judges 14:4 + +Now his parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. + +** Judges 14:5 + +Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Thamnatha. And when they were come to the vineyards of the town, behold a young lion met him, raging and roaring. + +** Judges 14:6 + +And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell this to his father and mother. + +** Judges 14:7 + +And he went down, and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes. + +** Judges 14:8 + +And after some days, returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, and a honey-comb. + +** Judges 14:9 + +And when he had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion. + +** Judges 14:10 + +So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used to do. + +** Judges 14:11 + +And when the citizens of that place saw him, they brought him thirty companions to be with him. + +** Judges 14:12 + +And Samson said to them: I will propose to you a riddle, which if you declare unto me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts, and as many coats: + +** Judges 14:13 + +But if you shall not be able to declare it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of coats. They answered him: Put forth the riddle, that we may hear it. + +** Judges 14:14 + +And he said to them: Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not for three days expound the riddle. + +** Judges 14:15 + +And when the seventh day came, they said to the wife of Samson: Sooth thy husband, and persuade him to tell thee what the riddle meaneth. But if thou wilt not do it, we will burn thee, and thy father's house. Have you called us to the wedding on purpose to strip us? + +** Judges 14:16 + +So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle, which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother: and how can I tell it to thee? + +** Judges 14:17 + +So she wept before him the seven days of the feast: and, at length, on the seventh day, as she was troublesome to him, he expounded it. And she immediately told her countrymen. + +** Judges 14:18 + +And they, on the seventh day before the sun went down, said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle. + +** Judges 14:19 + +And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men whose garments he took away, and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry, he went up to his father's house: + +** Judges 14:20 + +But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband. + +* Judges 15 + +** Judges 15:1 + +And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber, as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying: + +** Judges 15:2 + +I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her. + +** Judges 15:3 + +And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils. + +** Judges 15:4 + +And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails: + +** Judges 15:5 + +And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards. + +** Judges 15:6 + +Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson, the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father. + +** Judges 15:7 + +But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet. + +** Judges 15:8 + +And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam. + +** Judges 15:9 + +Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread abroad. + +** Judges 15:10 + +And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against us. + +** Judges 15:11 + +Wherefore three thousand men of Juda went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them. + +** Judges 15:12 + +And they said to him: We are come to bind thee, and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me that you will not kill me. + +** Judges 15:13 + +They said: We will not kill thee: but we will deliver thee up bound. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him from the rock Etam. + +** Judges 15:14 + +Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the Spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed. + +** Judges 15:15 + +And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass, which lay there, catching it up, he slew therewith a thousand men. + +** Judges 15:16 + +And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses, I have destroyed them, and have slain a thousand men. + +** Judges 15:17 + +And when he had ended these words, singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone. + +** Judges 15:18 + +And being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised. + +** Judges 15:19 + +Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass and waters issued out of it. And when he had drunk them, he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day. + +** Judges 15:20 + +And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years. + +* Judges 16 + +** Judges 16:1 + +He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman, a harlot, and went in unto her. + +** Judges 16:2 + +And when the Philistines had heard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out. + +** Judges 16:3 + +But Samson slept till midnight, and then rising, he took both the doors of the gate, with the posts thereof and the bolt, and laying them on his shoulders, carried them up to the top of the hill, which looketh towards Hebron. + +** Judges 16:4 + +After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila. + +** Judges 16:5 + +And the princes of the Philistines came to her, and said: Deceive him, and learn of him wherein his great strength lieth, and how we may be able to overcome him, to bind and afflict him: which if thou shalt do, we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. + +** Judges 16:6 + +And Dalila said to Samson: Tell me, I beseech thee, wherein thy greatest strength lieth, and what it is, wherewith if thou wert bound, thou couldst not break loose. + +** Judges 16:7 + +And Samson answered her: If I shall be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still moist, I shall be weak like other men. + +** Judges 16:8 + +And the princes of the Philistines brought unto her seven cords, such as he spoke of, with which she bound him; + +** Judges 16:9 + +Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber, expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength lay. + +** Judges 16:10 + +And Dalila said to him: Behold thou hast mocked me, and hast told me a false thing: but now at least tell me wherewith thou mayest be bound. + +** Judges 16:11 + +And he answered her: If I shall be bound with new ropes, that were never in work, I shall be weak and like other men. + +** Judges 16:12 + +Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs. + +** Judges 16:13 + +And Dalila said to him again: How long dost thou deceive me, and tell me lies? Shew me wherewith thou mayest be bound. And Samson answered her: If thou plattest the seven locks of my head with a lace, and tying them round about a nail, fastenest it in the ground, I shall be weak. + +** Judges 16:14 + +And when Dalila had done this, she said to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking out of his sleep, he drew out the nail with the hairs and the lace. + +** Judges 16:15 + +And Dalila said to him: How dost thou say thou lovest me, when thy mind is not with me? Thou hast told me lies these three times, and wouldst not tell me wherein thy greatest strength lieth. + +** Judges 16:16 + +And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even unto death. + +** Judges 16:17 + +Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother's womb: If my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men. + +** Judges 16:18 + +Then seeing that he had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up, taking with them the money which they had promised. + +** Judges 16:19 + +But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from him. + +** Judges 16:20 + +And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was departed from him. + +** Judges 16:21 + +Then the Philistines seized upon him, and forthwith pulled out his eyes, and led him bound in chains to Gaza, and shutting him up in prison made him grind. + +** Judges 16:22 + +And now his hair began to grow again, + +** Judges 16:23 + +And the princes of the Philistines assembled together, to offer great sacrifices to Dagon their god, and to make merry, saying: Our god hath delivered our enemy Samson into our hands. + +** Judges 16:24 + +And the people also seeing this, praised their god, and said the same: Our god hath delivered our adversary into our hands, him that destroyed our country, and killed very many. + +** Judges 16:25 + +And rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison, he played before them; and they made him stand between two pillars. + +** Judges 16:26 + +And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little. + +** Judges 16:27 + +Now the house was full of men and women, and all the princes of the Philistines were there. Moreover about three thousand persons of both sexes, from the roof and the higher part of the house, were beholding Samson's play. + +** Judges 16:28 + +But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge. + +** Judges 16:29 + +And laying hold on both the pillars on which the house rested, and holding the one with his right hand, and the other with his left, + +** Judges 16:30 + +He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude, that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life. + +** Judges 16:31 + +And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol, in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he judged Israel twenty years. + +* Judges 17 + +** Judges 17:1 + +There was at that time a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Michas. + +** Judges 17:2 + +Who said to his mother: The eleven hundred pieces of silver, which thou hadst put aside for thyself, and concerning which thou didst swear in my hearing, behold I have, and they are with me. And she said to him. Blessed be my son by the Lord. + +** Judges 17:3 + +So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god; so now I deliver it to thee. + +** Judges 17:4 + +And he restored them to his mother: and she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, to make of them a graven and a molten God, which was in the house of Michas. + +** Judges 17:5 + +And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest. + +** Judges 17:6 + +In those days there was no king in Israel, but every one did that which seemed right to himself. + +** Judges 17:7 + +There was also another young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: and he was a Levite, and dwelt there. + +** Judges 17:8 + +Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas, + +** Judges 17:9 + +He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage. + +** Judges 17:10 + +And Michas said: Stay with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten pieces of silver, and a double suit of apparel, and thy victuals. + +** Judges 17:11 + +He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons. + +** Judges 17:12 + +And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him for his priest, saying: + +** Judges 17:13 + +Now I know God will do me good, since I have a priest of the race of the Levites. + +* Judges 18 + +** Judges 18:1 + +In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes. + +** Judges 18:2 + +So the children of Dan sent five most valiant men, of their stock and family, from Saraa and Esthaol, to spy out the land, and to view it diligently: and they said to them: Go, and view the land. They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested there: + +** Judges 18:3 + +And knowing the voice of the young man the Levite, and lodging with him, they said to him: Who brought thee hither? what dost thou here? why wouldst thou come hither? + +** Judges 18:4 + +He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest. + +** Judges 18:5 + +Then they desired him to consult the Lord, that they might know whether their journey should be prosperous, and the thing should have effect. + +** Judges 18:6 + +He answered them: Go in peace: the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go. + +** Judges 18:7 + +So the five men going on came to Lais: and they saw how the people dwelt therein without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and easy, having no man at all to oppose them, being very rich, and living separated, at a distance from Sidon and from all men. + +** Judges 18:8 + +And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done: to whom they answered: + +** Judges 18:9 + +Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty. + +** Judges 18:10 + +We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth. + +** Judges 18:11 + +There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war. + +** Judges 18:12 + +And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim. + +** Judges 18:13 + +From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were come to the house of Michas, + +** Judges 18:14 + +The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod and theraphim, and a graven and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do. + +** Judges 18:15 + +And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace. + +** Judges 18:16 + +And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms. + +** Judges 18:17 + +But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off. + +** Judges 18:18 + +So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god, And the priest said to them: What are you doing? + +** Judges 18:19 + +And they said to him: Hold thy peace, and put thy finger on thy mouth, and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel? + +** Judges 18:20 + +When he heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them. + +** Judges 18:21 + +And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle, and all that was valuable, + +** Judges 18:22 + +And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them, + +** Judges 18:23 + +And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry? + +** Judges 18:24 + +And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me, and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee? + +** Judges 18:25 + +And the children of Dan said to him: See thou say no more to us, lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house. + +** Judges 18:26 + +And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house. + +** Judges 18:27 + +And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais, to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city they burnt with fire, + +** Judges 18:28 + +There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it, and dwelt therein, + +** Judges 18:29 + +Calling the name of the city Dan, after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais. + +** Judges 18:30 + +And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity. + +** Judges 18:31 + +And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo. In those days there was no king in Israel. + +* Judges 19 + +** Judges 19:1 + +There was a certain Levite, who dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, who took a wife of Bethlehem Juda: + +** Judges 19:2 + +And she left him, and returned to her father's house in Bethlehem, and abode with him four months. + +** Judges 19:3 + +And her husband followed her, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father's house. And when his father in law had heard this, and had seen him, he met him with joy, + +** Judges 19:4 + +And embraced the man. And the son in law tarried in the house of his father in law three days, eating with him and drinking familiarly. + +** Judges 19:5 + +But on the fourth day, arising early in the morning, he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart. + +** Judges 19:6 + +And they sat down together, and ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here to day, and let us make merry together. + +** Judges 19:7 + +But he rising up, began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him. + +** Judges 19:8 + +But when morning was come, the Levite prepared to go on his journey. And his father in law said to him again: I beseech thee to take a little meat, and strengthening thyself, till the day be farther advanced, afterwards thou mayest depart. And they ate together. + +** Judges 19:9 + +And the young man arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me to day also, and spend the day in mirth, and to morrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy house. + +** Judges 19:10 + +His son in law would not consent to his words: but forthwith went forward, and came over against Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two asses loaden, and his concubine. + +** Judges 19:11 + +And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there. + +** Judges 19:12 + +His master answered him: I will not go into the town of another nation, who are not of the children of Israel, but I will pass over to Gabaa: + +** Judges 19:13 + +And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama. + +** Judges 19:14 + +So they passed by Jebus, and went on their journey, and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gabaa, which is in the tribe of Benjamin: + +** Judges 19:15 + +And they turned into it to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge. + +** Judges 19:16 + +And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini. + +** Judges 19:17 + +And the old man lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city, and said to him: Whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? + +** Judges 19:18 + +He answered him: We came out from Bethlehem Juda, and we are going to our home, which is on the side of mount Ephraim, from whence we went to Bethlehem: and now we go to the house of God, and none will receive us under his roof: + +** Judges 19:19 + +We have straw and hay for provender of the asses, and bread and wine for the use of myself and of thy handmaid, and of the servant that is with me: we want nothing but lodging. + +** Judges 19:20 + +And the old man answered him: Peace be with thee: I will furnish all things that are necessary: only I beseech thee, stay not in the street. + +** Judges 19:21 + +And he brought him into his house, and gave provender to his asses: and after they had washed their feet, he entertained them with a feast. + +** Judges 19:22 + +While they were making merry, and refreshing their bodies with meat and drink, after the labour of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial (that is, without yoke), came and beset the old man's house, and began to knock at the door, calling to the master of the house, and saying: Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may abuse him: + +** Judges 19:23 + +And the old man went out to them, and said: Do not so, my brethren, do not so wickedly: because this man is come into my lodging, and cease I pray you from this folly. + +** Judges 19:24 + +I have a maiden daughter, and this man hath a concubine, I will bring them out to you, and you may humble them, and satisfy your lust: only, I beseech you, commit not this crime against nature on the man. + +** Judges 19:25 + +They would not be satisfied with his words; which the man seeing, brought out his concubine to them, and abandoned her to their wickedness: and when they had abused her all the night, they let her go in the morning. + +** Judges 19:26 + +But the woman, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house, where her lord lodged, and there fell down. + +** Judges 19:27 + +And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door, that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold. + +** Judges 19:28 + +He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going. But as she made no answer, perceiving she was dead, he took her up, and laid her upon his ass, and returned to his house. + +** Judges 19:29 + +And when he was come home, he took a sword, and divided the dead body of his wife with her bones into twelve parts, and sent the pieces into all the borders of Israel. + +** Judges 19:30 + +And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel, from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done. + +* Judges 20 + +** Judges 20:1 + +Then all the children of Israel went out, and gathered together as one man, from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha: + +** Judges 20:2 + +And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel, met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war. + +** Judges 20:3 + +(Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was killed being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed, + +** Judges 20:4 + +Answered: I came into Gabaa, of Benjamin, with my wife, and there I lodged: + +** Judges 20:5 + +And behold the men of that city, in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died. + +** Judges 20:6 + +And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel. + +** Judges 20:7 + +You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do. + +** Judges 20:8 + +And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house: + +** Judges 20:9 + +But this we will do in common against Gabaa: + +** Judges 20:10 + +We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we may fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth. + +** Judges 20:11 + +And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel: + +** Judges 20:12 + +And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin, to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you? + +** Judges 20:13 + +Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel: + +** Judges 20:14 + +But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel. + +** Judges 20:15 + +And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, + +** Judges 20:16 + +Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone's going on either side. + +** Judges 20:17 + +Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords and were prepared to fight. + +** Judges 20:18 + +And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader. + +** Judges 20:19 + +And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa: + +** Judges 20:20 + +And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city. + +** Judges 20:21 + +And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men. + +** Judges 20:22 + +Again Israel, trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before: + +** Judges 20:23 + +Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle. + +** Judges 20:24 + +And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin, + +** Judges 20:25 + +The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them, made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword. + +** Judges 20:26 + +Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings, + +** Judges 20:27 + +And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there, + +** Judges 20:28 + +And Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was over the house. So they consulted the Lord, and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin, our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for to morrow I will deliver them into your hands. + +** Judges 20:29 + +And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa: + +** Judges 20:30 + +And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second. + +** Judges 20:31 + +And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men: + +** Judges 20:32 + +For they thought to cut them off as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee, to bring them to the highways aforesaid. + +** Judges 20:33 + +Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also, which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth, + +** Judges 20:34 + +And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel, attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side. + +** Judges 20:35 + +And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men, and that drew the sword. + +** Judges 20:36 + +But the children of Benjamin, when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city. + +** Judges 20:37 + +And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword. + +** Judges 20:38 + +Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken. + +** Judges 20:39 + +And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle, (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled, and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army) + +** Judges 20:40 + +And perceived, as it were, a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high: + +** Judges 20:41 + +They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces, stood bravely against them. Which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs, + +** Judges 20:42 + +And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them. + +** Judges 20:43 + +And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city of Gabaa. + +** Judges 20:44 + +And they that were slain in the same place, were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers. + +** Judges 20:45 + +And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness, and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight also, as they were straggling, and going different ways; they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand. + +** Judges 20:46 + +And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin, in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war. + +** Judges 20:47 + +And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months. + +** Judges 20:48 + +But the children of Israel returning, put all the remains of the city to the sword, both men and beasts, and all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames. + +* Judges 21 + +** Judges 21:1 + +Now the children of Israel had also sworn in Maspha, saying: None of us shall give of his daughters to the children of Benjamin to wife. + +** Judges 21:2 + +And they all came to the house of God in Silo, and sitting before him till the evening, lifted up their voices, and began to lament and weep, saying: + +** Judges 21:3 + +O Lord God of Israel, why is so great an evil come to pass in thy people, that this day one tribe should be taken away from among us? + +** Judges 21:4 + +And rising early the next day, they built an altar: and offered there holocausts, and victims of peace, and they said: + +** Judges 21:5 + +Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the army of the Lord? for they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were in Maspha, that whosoever were wanting should be slain. + +** Judges 21:6 + +And the children of Israel being moved with repentance for their brother Benjamin, began to say: One tribe is taken away from Israel. + +** Judges 21:7 + +Whence shall they take wives? For we have all in general sworn, not to give our daughters to them. + +** Judges 21:8 + +Therefore they said: Who is there of all the tribes of Israel, that came not up to the Lord to Maspha?

with garlands, and lights, and dances, and timbrels, and flutes. + +** Judith 3:11 + +And though they did these things, they could not for all that mitigate the fierceness of his heart: + +** Judith

united. + +* Judith 4 + +** Judith 4:1 + +Then the children of Israel, who dwelt in the land of Juda, hearing these things, were exceedingly afraid of him. + +** Judith 4:2 + +Dread and horror seized upon their minds, lest he should do the same to Jerusalem and to the temple of the Lord, that he had done to other cities and their temples. + +** Judith 4:3 + +And they sent into all Samaria round about, as far as Jericho, and seized upon all the tops of the mountains: + +** Judith 4:4 + +And they compassed their towns with walls and gathered together corn for provision for war. + +** Judith 4:5 + +And Eliachim the priest wrote to all that were over against Esdrelon, which faceth the great plain near Dothain, and to all by whom there might be a passage of way, + +** Judith 4:6 + +that they should take possession of the ascents of the mountains, by which there might be any way to Jerusalem, and should keep watch where the way was narrow between the mountains. + +** Judith 4:7 + +And the children of Israel did as the priests of the Lord Eliachim had appointed them. + +** Judith 4:8 + +And all the people cried to the Lord with great earnestness, and they humbled their souls in fastings, and prayers, both they and their wives. + +** Judith 4:9 + +And the priests put on haircloths, and they caused the little children to lie prostrate before the temple of the Lord, and the altar of the Lord they covered with haircloth. + +** Judith 4:10 + +And they cried to the Lord the God of Israel with one accord, that their children might not be made a prey, and their wives carried off, and their cities destroyed, and their holy things profaned, and that they might not be made a reproach to the Gentiles. + +** Judith 4:11 + +Then Eliachim the high priest of the Lord went about all Israel and spoke to them, + +** Judith 4:12 + +Saying: Know ye that the Lord will hear your prayers, if you continue with perseverance in fastings and prayers in the sight of the Lord. + +** Judith 4:13 + +Remember Moses the servant of the Lord overcame Amalec that trusted in his own strength, and in his power, and in his army, and in his shields, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen, not by fighting with the sword, but by holy prayers: + +** Judith 4:14 + +So all the enemies of Israel be, if you persevere in this work which you have begun. + +** Judith 4:15 + +So they being moved by this exhortation of his, prayed to the Lord, and continued in the sight of the Lord. + +** Judith 4:16 + +So that even they who offered the holocausts to the Lord, offered the sacrifices to the Lord girded with haircloths, and with ashes upon their head. + +** Judith 4:17 + +And they all begged of God with all their heart, that he would visit his people Israel. + +* Judith 5 + +** Judith 5:1 + +And it was told Holofernes the general of the army of the Assyrians, that the children of Israel prepared themselves to resist, and had shut up the ways of the mountains. + +** Judith 5:2 + +And he was transported with exceeding great fury and indignation, and he called all the princes of Moab and the leaders of Ammon. + +** Judith 5:3 + +And he said to them: Tell me what is this people that besetteth the mountains: or what are their cities, and of what sort, and how great: also what is their power, or what is their multitude: or who is the king over their warfare: + +** Judith 5:4 + +And why they above all that dwell in the east, have despised us, and have not come out to meet us, that they might receive us with peace? + +** Judith 5:5 + +Then Achior captain of all the children of Ammon answering, said; If thou vouchsafe, my lord, to hear, I will tell the truth in thy sight concerning this people, that dwelleth in the mountains, and there shall not a false word come out of my mouth. + +** Judith 5:6 + +This people is of the offspring of the Chaldeans. + +** Judith 5:7 + +They dwelt first in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers, who were in the land of the Chaldeans. + +** Judith 5:8 + +Wherefore forsaking the ceremonies of their fathers, which consisted in the worship of many gods, + +** Judith 5:9 + +They worshipped one God of heaven, who also commanded them to depart from thence, and to dwell in Charan. And when there was a famine over all the land, they went down into Egypt, and there for four hundred years were so multiplied, that the army of them could not be numbered. + +** Judith 5:10 + +And when the king of Egypt oppressed them, and made slaves of them to labour in clay and brick, in the building of his cities, they cried to their Lord, and he struck the whole land of Egypt with divers plagues. + +** Judith 5:11 + +And when the Egyptians had cast them out from them, and the plague had ceased from them, and they had a mind to take them again, and bring them back to their service, + +** Judith 5:12 + +The God of heaven opened the sea to them in their flight, so that the waters were made to stand firm as a wall on either side, and they walked through the bottom of the sea and passed it dry foot. + +** Judith 5:13 + +And when an innumerable army of the Egyptians pursued after them in that place, they were so overwhelmed with the waters, that there was not one left, to tell what had happened to posterity. + +** Judith 5:14 + +After they came out of the Red Sea, they abode in the deserts of mount Sina, in which never man could dwell, or son of man rested. + +** Judith 5:15 + +There bitter fountains were made sweet for them to drink, and for forty years they received food from heaven. + +** Judith 5:16 + +Wheresoever they went in without bow and arrow, and without shield and sword, their God fought for them and overcame. + +** Judith 5:17 + +And there was no one that triumphed over this people, but when they departed from the worship of the Lord their God. + +** Judith 5:18 + +But as often as beside their own God, they worshipped any other, they were given to spoil and to the sword, and to reproach. + +** Judith 5:19 + +And as often as they were penitent for having revolted from the worship of their God, the God of heaven gave them power to resist. + +** Judith 5:20 + +So they overthrew the king of the Chanaanites, and of the Jebusites, and of the Pherezites, and of the Hethites, and of the Hevites, and of the Amorrhites, and all the mighty ones in Hesebon, and they possessed their lands, and their cities: + +** Judith 5:21 + +And as long as they sinned not in the sight of their God, it was well with them: for their God hateth iniquity. + +** Judith 5:22 + +And even some years ago when they had revolted from the way which God had given them to walk therein, they were destroyed in battles by many nations and very many of them were led away captive into a strange land. + +** Judith 5:23 + +But of late returning to the Lord their God, from the different places wherein they were scattered, they are come together and are gone up into all these mountains, and possess Jerusalem again, where their holies are. + +** Judith 5:24 + +Now therefore, my lord, search if there be any iniquity of theirs in the sight of their God: let us go up to them, because their God will surely deliver them to thee, and they shall be brought under the yoke of thy power: + +** Judith 5:25 + +But if there be no offence of this people in the sight of their God, we cannot resist them because their God will defend them: and we shall be a reproach to the whole earth. + +** Judith 5:26 + +And it came to pass, when Achior had ceased to speak these words, all the great men of Holofernes were angry, and they had a mind to kill him, saying to each other: + +** Judith 5:27 + +Who is this, that saith the children of Israel can resist king Nabuchodonosor, and his armies, men unarmed, and without force, and without skill in the art of war? + +** Judith 5:28 + +That Achior therefore may know that he deceiveth us, let us go up into the mountains: and when the bravest of them shall be taken, then shall he with them be stabbed with the sword, + +** Judith 5:29 + +That every nation may know that Nabuchodonosor is god of the earth, and besides him there is no other. + +* Judith 6 + +** Judith 6:1 + +And it came to pass when they had left off speaking, that Holofernes being in a violent passion, said to Achior: + +** Judith 6:2 + +Because thou hast prophesied unto us, saying: That the nation of Israel is defended by their God, to shew thee that there is no God, but Nabuchodonosor: + +** Judith 6:3 + +When we shall slay them all as one man, then thou also shalt die with them by the sword of the Assyrians, and all Israel shall perish with thee: + +** Judith 6:4 + +And thou shalt find that Nabuchodonosor is lord of the whole earth: and then the sword of my soldiers shall pass through thy sides, and thou shalt be stabbed and fall among the wounded of Israel, and thou shalt breathe no more till thou be destroyed with them. + +** Judith 6:5 + +But if thou think thy prophecy true, let not thy countenance sink, and let the paleness that is in thy face, depart from thee, if thou imaginest these my words cannot be accomplished. + +** Judith 6:6 + +And that thou mayst know that thou shalt experience these things together with them, behold from this hour thou shalt be associated to their people, that when they shall receive the punishment they deserve from my sword, thou mayst fall under the same vengeance. + +** Judith 6:7 + +Then Holofernes commanded his servants to take Achior, and to lead him to Bethulia, and to deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel. + +** Judith 6:8 + +And the servants of Holofernes taking him, went through the plains: but when they came near the mountains, the slingers came out against them. + +** Judith 6:9 + +Then turning out of the way by the side of the mountain, they tied Achior to a tree hand and foot, and so left him bound with ropes, and returned to their master. + +** Judith 6:10 + +And the children of Israel coming down from Bethulia, came to him, and loosing him they brought him to Bethulia, and setting him in the midst of the people, asked him what was the matter that the Assyrians had left him bound. + +** Judith 6:11 + +In those days the rulers there, were Ozias the son of Micha of the tribe of Simeon, and Charmi, called also Gothoniel. + +** Judith 6:12 + +And Achior related in the midst of the ancients, and in the presence of all the people, all that he had said being asked by Holofernes: and how the people of Holofernes would have killed him for this word, + +** Judith 6:13 + +And how Holofernes himself being angry had commanded him to be delivered for this cause to the Israelites: that when he should overcome the children of Israel, then he might command Achior also himself to be put to death by diverse torments, for having said: The God of heaven is their defender. + +** Judith 6:14 + +And when Achior had declared all these things, all the people fell upon their faces, adoring the Lord, and all of them together mourning and weeping poured out their prayers with one accord to the Lord, + +** Judith 6:15 + +Saying: O Lord God of heaven and earth, behold their pride, and look on our low condition, and have regard to the face of thy saints, and shew that thou forsakest not them that trust on thee, and that thou humblest them that presume of themselves, and glory in their own strength. + +** Judith 6:16 + +So when their weeping was ended, and the people's prayer, in which they continued all the day, was concluded, they comforted Achior, + +** Judith 6:17 + +Saying: The God of our fathers, whose power thou hast set forth, will make this return to thee, that thou rather shalt see their destruction. + +** Judith 6:18 + +And when the Lord our God shall give this liberty to his servants, let God be with thee also in the midst of us: that as it shall please thee, so thou with all thine mayst converse with us. + +** Judith 6:19 + +Then Ozias, after the assembly was broken up, received him into his house, and made him a great supper. + +** Judith 6:20 + +And all the ancients were invited, and they refreshed themselves together after their fast was over. + +** Judith 6:21 + +And afterwards all the people were called together, and they prayed all the night long within the church, desiring help of the God of Israel. + +* Judith 7 + +** Judith 7:1 + +But Holofernes on the next day gave orders to his army, to go up against Bethulia. + +** Judith 7:2 + +Now there were in his troops a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two and twenty thousand horsemen, besides the preparations of those men who had been taken, and who had been brought away out of the provinces and cities of all the youth. + +** Judith 7:3 + +All these prepared themselves together to fight against the children of Israel, and they came by the hillside to the top, which looketh toward Dothain, from the place which is called Belma, unto Chelmon, which is over against Esdrelon. + +** Judith 7:4 + +But the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, prostrated themselves upon the ground, putting ashes upon their heads, praying with one accord, that the God of Israel would shew his mercy upon his people. + +** Judith 7:5 + +And taking their arms of war, they posted themselves at the places, which by a narrow pathway lead directly between the mountains, and they guarded them all day and night. + +** Judith 7:6 + +Now Holofernes, in going round about, found that the fountain which supplied them with water, ran through an aqueduct without the city on the south side: and he commanded their aqueduct to be cut off. + +** Judith 7:7 + +Nevertheless there were springs not far from the walls, out of which they were seen secretly to draw water, to refresh themselves a little rather than to drink their fill. + +** Judith 7:8 + +But the children of Ammon and Moab came to Holofernes, saying: The children of Israel trust not in their spears, nor in their arrows, but the mountains are their defence, and the steep hills and precipices guard them. + +** Judith 7:9 + +Wherefore that thou mayst overcome them without joining battle, set guards at the springs that they may not draw water out of them, and thou shalt destroy them without sword, or at least being wearied out they will yield up their city, which they suppose, because it is situate in the mountains, to be impregnable. + +** Judith 7:10 + +And these words pleased Holofernes, and his officers, and he placed all round about a hundred men at every spring. + +** Judith 7:11 + +And when they had kept this watch for full twenty days, the cisterns, and the reserve of waters failed among all the inhabitants of Bethulia, so that there was not within the city, enough to satisfy them, no not for one day, for water was daily given out to the people by measure. + +** Judith 7:12 + +Then all the men and women, young men, and children, gathering themselves together to Ozias, all together with one voice, + +** Judith 7:13 + +Said: God be judge between us and thee, for thou hast done evil against us, in that thou wouldst not speak peaceably with the Assyrians, and for this cause God hath sold us into their hands. + +** Judith 7:14 + +And therefore there is no one to help us, while we are cast down before their eyes in thirst, and sad destruction. + +** Judith 7:15 + +And now assemble ye all that are in the city, that we may of our own accord yield ourselves all up to the people of Holofernes. + +** Judith 7:16 + +For it is better, that being captives we should live and bless the Lord, than that we should die, and be a reproach to all flesh, after we have seen our wives and our infants die before our eyes. + +** Judith 7:17 + +We call to witness this day heaven and earth, and the God of our fathers, who taketh vengeance upon us according to our sins, conjuring you to deliver now the city into the hand of the army of Holofernes, that our end may be short by the edge of the sword, which is made longer by the drought of thirst. + +** Judith 7:18 + +And when they had said these things, there was great weeping and lamentation of all in the assembly, and for many hours with one voice they cried to God, saying: + +** Judith 7:19 + +We have sinned with our fathers, we have done unjustly, we have committed iniquity: + +** Judith 7:20 + +Have thou mercy on us, because thou art good, or punish our iniquities by chastising us thyself, and deliver not them that trust in thee to a people that knoweth not thee, + +** Judith 7:21 + +That they may not say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? + +** Judith 7:22 + +And when being wearied with these cries, and tired with these weepings, they held their peace, + +** Judith 7:23 + +Ozias rising up all in tears, said: Be of good courage, my brethren, and let us wait these five days for mercy from the Lord. + +** Judith 7:24 + +For perhaps he will put a stop to his indignation, and will give glory to his own name. + +** Judith 7:25 + +But if after five days be past there come no aid, we will do the things which you have spoken. + +* Judith 8 + +** Judith 8:1 + +Now it came to pass, when Judith a widow had heard these words, who was the daughter of Merari, the son of Idox, the son of Joseph, the son of Ozias, the son of Elai, the son of Jamnor, the son of Gedeon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Achitob, the son of Melchias, the son of Enan, the son of Nathanias, the son of Salathiel, the son of Simeon, the son of Ruben: + +** Judith 8:2 + +And her husband was Manasses, who died in the time of the barley harvest: + +** Judith 8:3 + +For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers. + +** Judith 8:4 + +And Judith his relict was a widow now three years and six months. + +** Judith 8:5 + +And she made herself a private chamber in the upper part of her house, in which she abode shut up with her maids. + +** Judith 8:6 + +And she wore haircloth upon her loins, and fasted all the days of her life, except the sabbaths, and new moons, and the feasts of the house of Israel. + +** Judith 8:7 + +And she was exceedingly beautiful, and her husband left her great riches, and very many servants, and large possessions of herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep. + +** Judith 8:8 + +And she was greatly renowned among all, because she feared the Lord very much, neither was there any one that spoke an ill word of her. + +** Judith 8:9 + +When therefore she had heard that Ozias had promised that he would deliver up the city after the fifth day, she sent to the ancients Chabri and Charmi. + +** Judith 8:10 + +And they came to her, and she said to them: What is this word, by which Ozias hath consented to give up the city to the Assyrians, if within five days there come no aid to us? + +** Judith 8:11 + +And who are you that tempt the Lord? + +** Judith 8:12 + +This is not a word that may draw down mercy, but rather that may stir up wrath, and enkindle indignation. + +** Judith 8:13 + +You have set a time for the mercy of the Lord, and you have appointed him a day, according to your pleasure. + +** Judith 8:14 + +But forasmuch as the Lord is patient, let us be penitent for this same thing, and with many tears let us beg his pardon: + +** Judith 8:15 + +For God will not threaten like man, nor be inflamed to anger like the son of man. + +** Judith 8:16 + +And therefore let us humble our souls before him, and continuing in an humble spirit, in his service: + +** Judith 8:17 + +Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility. + +** Judith 8:18 + +For we have not followed the sins of our fathers, who forsook their God, and worshipped strange gods. + +** Judith 8:19 + +For which crime they were given up to their enemies, to the sword, and to pillage, and to confusion: but we know no other God but him. + +** Judith 8:20 + +Let us humbly wait for his consolation, and the Lord our God will require our blood of the afflictions of our enemies, and he will humble all the nations that shall rise up against us, and bring them to disgrace. + +** Judith 8:21 + +And now, brethren, as you are the ancients among the people of God, and their very soul resteth upon you: comfort their hearts by your speech, that they may be mindful how our fathers were tempted that they might be proved, whether they worshipped their God truly. + +** Judith 8:22 + +They must remember how our father Abraham was tempted, and being proved by many tribulations, was made the friend of God. + +** Judith 8:23 + +So Isaac, so Jacob, so Moses, and all that have pleased God, passed through many tribulations, remaining faithful. + +** Judith 8:24 + +But they that did not receive the trials with the fear of the Lord, but uttered their impatience and the reproach of their murmuring against the Lord, + +** Judith 8:25 + +Were destroyed by the destroyer, and perished by serpents. + +** Judith 8:26 + +As for us therefore let us not revenge ourselves for these things which we suffer. + +** Judith 8:27 + +But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction. + +** Judith 8:28 + +And Ozias and the ancients said to her: All things which thou hast spoken are true, and there is nothing to be reprehended in thy words. + +** Judith 8:29 + +Now therefore pray for us, for thou art a holy woman, and one fearing God. + +** Judith 8:30 + +And Judith said to them: As you know that what I have been able to say is of God: + +** Judith 8:31 + +So that which I intend to do prove ye if it be of God, and pray that God may strengthen my design. + +** Judith 8:32 + +You shall stand at the gate this night, and I will go out with my maidservant: and pray ye, that as you have said, in five days the Lord may look down upon his people Israel. + +** Judith 8:33 + +But I desire that you search not into what I am doing, and till I bring you word let nothing else be done but to pray for me to the Lord our God. + +** Judith 8:34 + +And Ozias the prince of Juda said to her: Go in peace, and the Lord be with thee to take revenge of our enemies. So returning they departed. + +* Judith 9 + +** Judith 9:1 + +And when they were gone, Judith went into her oratory: and putting on haircloth, laid ashes on her head: and falling down prostrate before the Lord, she cried to the Lord, saying: + +** Judith 9:2 + +Lord God of my father Simeon, who gavest him a sword to execute vengeance against strangers, who had defiled by their uncleanness, and uncovered the virgin unto confusion: + +** Judith 9:3 + +And who gavest their wives to be made a prey, and their daughters into captivity: and all their spoils to be divided to the servants, who were zealous with thy zeal: assist, I beseech thee, O Lord God, me a widow. + +** Judith 9:4 + +For thou hast done the things of old, and hast devised one thing after another: and what thou hast designed hath been done. + +** Judith 9:5 + +For all thy ways are prepared, and in thy providence thou hast placed thy judgments. + +** Judith 9:6 + +Look upon the camp of the Assyrians now, as thou wast pleased to look upon the camp of the Egyptians, when they pursued armed after thy servants, trusting in their chariots, and in their horsemen, and in a multitude of warriors. + +** Judith 9:7 + +But thou lookedst over their camp, and darkness wearied them. + +** Judith 9:8 + +The deep held their feet, and the waters overwhelmed them. + +** Judith 9:9 + +So may it be with these also, O Lord, who trust in their multitude, and in their chariots, and in their pikes, and in their shields, and in their arrows, and glory in their spears, + +** Judith 9:10 + +And know not that thou art our God, who destroyest wars from the beginning, and the Lord is thy name. + +** Judith 9:11 + +Lift up thy arm as from the beginning, and crush their power with thy power: let their power fall in their wrath, who promise themselves to violate thy sanctuary, and defile the dwelling place of thy name, and to beat down with their sword the horn of thy altar. + +** Judith 9:12 + +Bring to pass, O Lord, that his pride may be cut off with his own sword. + +** Judith 9:13 + +Let him be caught in the net of his own eyes in my regard, and do thou strike him by the graces of the words of my lips. + +** Judith 9:14 + +Give me constancy in my mind, that I may despise him: and fortitude that I may overthrow him. + +** Judith 9:15 + +For this will be a glorious monument for thy name, when he shall fall by the hand of a woman. + +** Judith 9:16 + +For thy power, O Lord, is not in a multitude, nor is thy pleasure in the strength of horses, nor from the beginning have the proud been acceptable to thee: but the prayer of the humble and the meek hath always pleased thee. + +** Judith 9:17 + +O God of the heavens, creator of the waters, and Lord of the whole creation, hear me a poor wretch, making supplication to thee, and presuming of thy mercy. + +** Judith 9:18 + +Remember, O Lord, thy covenant, and put thou words in my mouth, and strengthen the resolution in my heart, that thy house may continue in thy holiness: + +** Judith 9:19 + +And all nations may acknowledge that thou art God, and there is no other besides thee. + +* Judith 10 + +** Judith 10:1 + +And it came to pass, when she had ceased to cry to the Lord, that she rose from the place wherein she lay prostrate before the Lord. + +** Judith 10:2 + +And she called her maid, and going down into her house she took off her haircloth, and put away the garments of her widowhood, + +** Judith 10:3 + +And she washed her body, and anointed herself with the best ointment, and plaited the hair of her head, and put a bonnet upon her head, and clothed herself with the garments of her gladness, and put sandals on her feet, and took her bracelets, and lilies, and earlets, and rings, and adorned herself with all her ornaments. + +** Judith 10:4 + +And the Lord also gave her more beauty: because all this dressing up did not proceed from sensuality, but from virtue: and therefore the Lord increased this her beauty, so that she appeared to all men's eyes incomparably lovely. + +** Judith 10:5 + +And she gave to her maid a bottle of wine to carry, and a vessel of oil, and parched corn, and dry figs, and bread and cheese, and went out. + +** Judith 10:6 + +And when they came to the gate of the city, they found Ozias, and the ancients of the city waiting. + +** Judith 10:7 + +And when they saw her they were astonished, and admired her beauty exceedingly. + +** Judith 10:8 + +But they asked her no question, only they let her pass, saying: The God of our fathers give thee grace, and may he strengthen all the counsel of thy heart with his power, that Jerusalem may glory in thee, and thy name may be in the number of the holy and just. + +** Judith 10:9 + +And they that were there said, all with one voice: So be it, so be it. + +** Judith 10:10 + +But Judith praying to the Lord, passed through the gates, she and her maid. + +** Judith 10:11 + +And it came to pass, when she went down the hill, about break of day, that the watchmen of the Assyrians met her, and stopped her, saying: Whence comest thou or whither goest thou? + +** Judith 10:12 + +And she answered: I am a daughter of the Hebrews, and I am fled from them, because I knew they would be made a prey to you, because they despised you, and would not of their own accord yield themselves, that they might find mercy in your sight. + +** Judith 10:13 + +For this reason I thought with myself, saying: I will go to the presence of the prince Holofernes, that I may tell him their secrets, and shew him by what way he may take them, without the loss of one man of his army. + +** Judith 10:14 + +And when the men had heard her words, they beheld her face, and their eyes were amazed, for they wondered exceedingly at her beauty. + +** Judith 10:15 + +And they said to her: Thou hast saved thy life by taking this resolution, to come down to our lord. + +** Judith 10:16 + +And be assured of this, that when thou shalt stand before him, he will treat thee well, and thou wilt be most acceptable to his heart. And they brought her to the tent of Holofernes, telling him of her. + +** Judith 10:17 + +And when she was come into his presence, forthwith Holofernes was caught by his eyes. + +** Judith 10:18 + +And his officers said to him: Who can despise the people of the Hebrews, who have such beautiful women, that we should not think it worth our while for their sakes to fight against them? + +** Judith 10:19 + +And Judith seeing Holofernes sitting under a canopy, which was woven of purple and gold, with emeralds and precious stones: + +** Judith 10:20 + +After she had looked on his face, bowed down to him, prostrating herself to the ground. And the servants of Holofernes lifted her up, by the command of their master. + +* Judith 11 + +** Judith 11:1 + +Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. + +** Judith 11:2 + +And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them. + +** Judith 11:3 + +But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us? + +** Judith 11:4 + +And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing. + +** Judith 11:5 + +For as Nabuchodonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in thee for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through thee, but also the beasts of the field obey him. + +** Judith 11:6 + +For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces. + +** Judith 11:7 + +It is known also what Achior said, nor are we ignorant of what thou hast commanded to be done to him. + +** Judith 11:8 + +For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them up for their sins. + +** Judith 11:9 + +And because the children of Israel know they have offended their God, thy dread is upon them. + +** Judith 11:10 + +Moreover also a famine hath come upon them, and for drought of water they are already to be counted among the dead. + +** Judith 11:11 + +And they have a design even to kill their cattle, and to drink the blood of them. + +** Judith 11:12 + +And the consecrated things of the Lord their God which God forbade them to touch, in corn, wine, and oil, these have they purposed to make use of, and they design to consume the things which they ought not to touch with their hands: therefore because they do these things, it is certain they will be given up to destruction. + +** Judith 11:13 + +And I thy handmaid knowing this, am fled from them, and the Lord hath sent me to tell thee these very things. + +** Judith 11:14 + +For I thy handmaid worship God even now that I am with thee, and thy handmaid will go out, and I will pray to God, + +** Judith 11:15 + +And he will tell me when he will repay them for their sins, and I will come and tell thee, so that I may bring thee through the midst of Jerusalem, and thou shalt have all the people of Israel, as sheep that have no shepherd, and there shall not so much as one dog bark against thee: + +** Judith 11:16 + +Because these things are told me by the providence of God. + +** Judith 11:17 + +And because God is angry with them, I am sent to tell these very things to thee. + +** Judith 11:18 + +And all these words pleased Holofernes, and his servants, and they admired her wisdom, and they said one to another: + +** Judith 11:19 + +There is not such another woman upon earth in look, in beauty, and in sense of words. + +** Judith 11:20 + +And Holofernes said to her: God hath done well who sent thee before the people, that thou mightest give them into our hands: + +** Judith 11:21 + +And because thy promise is good, if thy God shall do this for me, he shall also be my God, and thou shalt be great in the house of Nabuchodonosor, and thy name shall be renowned through all the earth. + +* Judith 12 + +** Judith 12:1 + +Then he ordered that she should go in where his treasures were laid up, and bade her tarry there, and he appointed what should be given her from his own table. + +** Judith 12:2 + +And Judith answered him and said: Now I cannot eat of these things which thou commandest to be given me, lest sin come upon me: but I will eat of the things which I have brought. + +** Judith 12:3 + +And Holofernes said to her: If these things which thou hast brought with thee fail thee, what shall we do for thee? + +** Judith 12:4 + +And Judith said: As thy soul liveth, my lord, thy handmaid shall not spend all these things till God do by my hand that which I have purposed. And his servants brought her into the tent which he had commanded. + +** Judith 12:5 + +And when she was going in, she desired that she might have liberty to go out at night and before day to prayer, and to beseech the Lord. + +** Judith 12:6 + +And he commanded his chamberlains, that she might go out and in, to adore her God as she pleased, for three days. + +** Judith 12:7 + +And she went out in the nights into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water. + +** Judith 12:8 + +And as she came up, she prayed to the Lord the God of Israel, that he would direct her way to the deliverance of his people. + +** Judith 12:9 + +And going in, she remained pure in the tent, until she took her own meat in the evening. + +** Judith 12:10 + +And it came to pass on the fourth day, that Holofernes made a supper for his servants, and said to Vagao his eunuch: Go, and persuade that Hebrew woman, to consent of her own accord to dwell with me. + +** Judith 12:11 + +For it is looked upon as shameful among the Assyrians, if a woman mock a man, by doing so as to pass free from him. + +** Judith 12:12 + +Then Vagao went in to Judith, and said: Let not my good maid be afraid to go in to my lord, that she may be honoured before his face, that she may eat with him and drink wine and be merry. + +** Judith 12:13 + +And Judith answered him: Who am I, that I should gainsay my lord? + +** Judith 12:14 + +All that shall be good and best before his eyes, I will do. And whatsoever shall please him, that shall be best to me all the days of my life. + +** Judith 12:15 + +And she arose and dressed herself out with her garments, and going in she stood before his face. + +** Judith 12:16 + +And the heart of Holofernes was smitten, for he was burning with the desire of her. + +** Judith 12:17 + +And Holofernes said to her: Drink now, and sit down and be merry; for thou hast found favour before me. + +** Judith 12:18 + +And Judith said: I will drink my lord, because my life is magnified this day above all my days. + +** Judith 12:19 + +And she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared for her. + +** Judith 12:20 + +And Holofernes was made merry on her occasion, and drank exceeding much wine, so much as he had never drunk in his life. + +* Judith 13 + +** Judith 13:1 + +And when it was grown late, his servants made haste to their lodgings, and Vagao shut the chamber doors, and went his way. + +** Judith 13:2 + +And they were all overcharged with wine. + +** Judith 13:3 + +And Judith was alone in the chamber. + +** Judith 13:4 + +But Holofernes lay on his bed, fast asleep, being exceedingly drunk. + +** Judith 13:5 + +And Judith spoke to her maid to stand without before the chamber, and to watch: + +** Judith 13:6 + +And Judith stood before the bed praying with tears, and the motion of her lips in silence, + +** Judith 13:7 + +Saying: Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, and in this hour look on the works of my hands, that as thou hast promised, thou mayst raise up Jerusalem thy city: and that I may bring to pass that which I have purposed, having a belief that it might be done by thee. + +** Judith 13:8 + +And when she had said this, she went to the pillar that was at his bed's head, and loosed his sword that hung tied upon it. + +** Judith 13:9 + +And when she had drawn it out, she took him by the hair of his head, and said: Strengthen me, O Lord God, at this hour. + +** Judith 13:10 + +And she struck twice upon his neck, and cut off his head, and took off his canopy from the pillars, and rolled away his headless body. + +** Judith 13:11 + +And after a while she went out, and delivered the head of Holofernes to her maid, and bade her put it into her wallet. + +** Judith 13:12 + +And they two went out according to their custom, as it were to prayer, and they passed the camp, and having compassed the valley, they came to the gate of the city. + +** Judith 13:13 + +And Judith from afar off cried to the watchmen upon the walls: Open the gates for God is with us, who hath shewn his power in Israel. + +** Judith 13:14 + +And it came to pass, when the men had heard her voice, that they called the ancients of the city. + +** Judith 13:15 + +And all ran to meet her from the least to the greatest: for they now had no hopes that she would come. + +** Judith 13:16 + +And lighting up lights they all gathered round about her: and she went up to a higher place, and commanded silence to be made. And when all had held their peace, + +** Judith 13:17 + +Judith said: Praise ye the Lord our God, who hath not forsaken them that hope in him. + +** Judith 13:18 + +And by me his handmaid he hath fulfilled his mercy, which he promised to the house of Israel: and he hath killed the enemy of his people by my hand this night. + +** Judith 13:19 + +Then she brought forth the head of Holofernes out of the wallet, and shewed it them, saying: Behold the head of Holofernes the general of the army of the Assyrians, and behold his canopy, wherein he lay in his drunkenness, where the Lord our God slew him by the hand of a woman. + +** Judith 13:20 + +But as the same Lord liveth, his angel hath been my keeper both going hence, and abiding there, and returning from thence hither: and the Lord hath not suffered me his handmaid to be defiled, but hath brought me back to you without pollution of sin, rejoicing for his victory, for my escape, and for your deliverance. + +** Judith 13:21 + +Give all of you glory to him, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. + +** Judith 13:22 + +And they all adored the Lord, and said to her: The Lord hath blessed thee by his power, because by thee he hath brought our enemies to nought. + +** Judith 13:23 + +And Ozias the prince of the people of Israel, said to her: Blessed art thou, O daughter, by the Lord the most high God, above all women upon the earth. + +** Judith 13:24 + +Blessed be the Lord who made heaven and earth, who hath directed thee to the cutting off the head of the prince of our enemies. + +** Judith 13:25 + +Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God. + +** Judith 13:26 + +And all the people said: So be it, so be it. + +** Judith 13:27 + +And Achior being called for came, and Judith said to him: The God of Israel, to whom thou gavest testimony, that he revengeth himself of his enemies, he hath cut off the head of all the unbelievers this night by my hand. + +** Judith 13:28 + +And that thou mayst find that it is so, behold the head of Holofernes, who in the contempt of his pride despised the God of Israel: and threatened them with death, saying: When the people of Israel shall be taken, I will command thy sides to be pierced with a sword. + +** Judith 13:29 + +Then Achior seeing the head of Holofernes, being seized with a great fear he fell on his face upon the earth, and his soul swooned away. + +** Judith 13:30 + +But after he had recovered his spirits he fell down at her feet, and reverenced her, and said: + +** Judith 13:31 + +Blessed art thou by thy God in every tabernacle of Jacob, for in every nation which shall hear thy name, the God of Israel shall be magnified on occasion of thee. + +* Judith 14 + +** Judith 14:1 + +And Judith said to all the people: Hear me, my brethren, hang ye up this head upon our walls. + +** Judith 14:2 + +And as soon as the sun shall rise, let every man take his arms, and rush ye out, not as going down beneath, but as making an assault. + +** Judith 14:3 + +Then the watchmen must needs run to awake their prince for the battle. + +** Judith 14:4 + +And when the captains of them shall run to the tent of Holofernes, and shall find him without his head wallowing in his blood, fear shall fall upon them. + +** Judith 14:5 + +And when you shall know that they are fleeing, go after them securely, for the Lord will destroy them under your feet. + +** Judith 14:6 + +Then Achior seeing the power that the God of Israel had wrought, leaving the religion of the Gentiles, he believed God, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined to the people of Israel, with all the succession of his kindred until this present day. + +** Judith 14:7 + +And immediately at break of day, they hung up the head of Holofernes upon the walls, and every man took his arms, and they went out with a great noise and shouting. + +** Judith 14:8 + +And the watchmen seeing this, ran to the tent of Holofernes. + +** Judith 14:9 + +And they that were in the tent came, and made a noise, before the door of the chamber to awake him, endeavouring by art to break his rest, that Holofernes might awake, not by their calling him, but by their noise. + +** Judith 14:10 + +For no man durst knock, or open and go into the chamber of the general of the Assyrians. + +** Judith 14:11 + +But when his captains and tribunes were come, and all the chiefs of the army of the king of the Assyrians, they said to the chamberlains: + +** Judith 14:12 + +Go in, and awake him, for the mice, coming out of their holes, have presumed to challenge us to fight. + +** Judith 14:13 + +Then Vagao going into his chamber, stood before the curtain, and made a clapping with his hands: for he thought that he was sleeping with Judith. + +** Judith 14:14 + +But when with hearkening, he perceived no motion of one lying, he came near to the curtain, and lifting it up, and seeing the body of Holofernes, lying upon the ground, without the head, weltering in his blood, he cried out with a loud voice, with weeping, and rent his garments. + +** Judith 14:15 + +And he went into the tent of Judith, and not finding her, he ran out to the people, + +** Judith 14:16 + +And said: One Hebrew woman hath made confusion in the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for behold Holofernes lieth upon the ground, and his head is not upon him. + +** Judith 14:17 + +Now when the chiefs of the army of the Assyrians had heard this, they all rent their garments, and an intolerable fear and dread fell upon them, and their minds were troubled exceedingly. + +** Judith 14:18 + +And there was a very great cry in the midst of their camp. + +* Judith 15 + +** Judith 15:1 + +And when all the army heard that Holofernes was beheaded, courage and counsel fled from them, and being seized with trembling and fear they thought only to save themselves by flight. + +** Judith 15:2 + +So that no one spoke to his neighbour, but hanging down the head, leaving all things behind, they made haste to escape from the Hebrews, who, as they heard, were coming armed upon them, and fled by the ways of the fields, and the paths of the hills. + +** Judith 15:3 + +So the children of Israel seeing them fleeing, followed after them. And they went down sounding with trumpets and shouting after them. + +** Judith 15:4 + +And because the Assyrians were not united together, they went without order in their flight; but the children of Israel pursuing in one body, defeated all that they could find. + +** Judith 15:5 + +And Ozias sent messengers through all the cities and countries of Israel. + +** Judith 15:6 + +And every country, and every city, sent their chosen young men armed after them, and they pursued them with the edge of the sword until they came to the extremities of their confines. + +** Judith 15:7 + +And the rest that were in Bethulia went into the camp of the Assyrians, and took away the spoils which the Assyrians in their flight had left behind them, and they were laden exceedingly, + +** Judith 15:8 + +But they that returned conquerors to Bethulia, brought with them all things that were theirs, so that there was no numbering of their cattle, and beasts, and all their moveables, insomuch that from the least to the greatest all were made rich by their spoils. + +** Judith 15:9 + +And Joachim the high priest came from Jerusalem to Bethulia with all his ancients to see Judith. + +** Judith 15:10 + +And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people: + +** Judith 15:11 + +For thou hast done manfully, and thy heart has been strengthened, because thou hast loved chastity, and after thy husband hast not known any other: therefore also the hand of the Lord hath strengthened thee, and therefore thou shalt be blessed for ever. + +** Judith 15:12 + +And all the people said: So be it, so be it. + +** Judith 15:13 + +And thirty days were scarce sufficient for the people of Israel to gather up the spoils of the Assyrians. + +** Judith 15:14 + +But all those things that were proved to be the peculiar goods of Holofernes, they gave to Judith in gold, and silver, and garments and precious stones, and all household stuff, and they all were delivered to her by the people. + +** Judith 15:15 + +And all the people rejoiced, with the women, and virgins, and young men, playing on instruments and harps. + +* Judith 16 + +** Judith 16:1 + +Then Judith sung this canticle to the Lord, saying: + +** Judith 16:2 + +Begin ye to the Lord with timbrels, sing ye to the Lord with cymbals, tune unto him a new psalm, extol and call upon his name. + +** Judith 16:3 + +The Lord putteth an end to wars, the Lord is his name. + +** Judith 16:4 + +He hath set his camp in the midst of his people, to deliver us from the hand of all our enemies. + +** Judith 16:5 + +The Assyrian came out of the mountains from the north in the multitude of his strength: his multitude stopped up the torrents, and their horses covered the valleys. + +** Judith 16:6 + +He bragged that he would set my borders on fire, and kill my young men with the sword, to make my infants a prey, and my virgins captives. + +** Judith 16:7 + +But the almighty Lord hath struck him, and hath delivered him into the hands of a woman, and hath slain him. + +** Judith 16:8 + +For their mighty one did not fall by young men, neither did the sons of Titan strike him, nor tall giants oppose themselves to him, but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her face. + +** Judith 16:9 + +For she put off her the garments of widowhood, and put on her the garments of joy, to give joy to the children of Israel. + +** Judith 16:10 + +She anointed her face with ointment, and bound up her locks with a crown, she took a new robe to deceive him. + +** Judith 16:11 + +Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty made his soul her captive, with a sword she cut off his head. + +** Judith 16:12 + +The Persians quaked at her constancy, and the Medes at her boldness. + +** Judith 16:13 + +Then the camp of the Assyrians howled, when my lowly ones appeared, parched with thirst. + +** Judith 16:14 + +The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and they have killed them like children fleeing away: they perished in battle before the face of the Lord my God. + +** Judith 16:15 + +Let us sing a hymn to the Lord, let us sing a new hymn to our God. + +** Judith 16:16 + +O Adonai, Lord, great art thou, and glorious in thy power, and no one can overcome thee. + +** Judith 16:17 + +Let all thy creatures serve thee: because thou hast spoken, and they were made: thou didst send forth thy spirit, and they were created, and there is no one that can resist thy voice. + +** Judith 16:18 + +The mountains shall be moved from the foundations with the waters: the rocks shall melt as wax before thy face. + +** Judith 16:19 + +But they that fear thee, shall be great with thee in all things. + +** Judith 16:20 + +Woe be to the nation that riseth up against my people: for the Lord almighty will take revenge on them, in the day of judgment he will visit them. + +** Judith 16:21 + +For he will give fire, and worms into their flesh, that they may burn, and may feel for ever. + +** Judith 16:22 + +And it came to pass after these things, that all the people, after the victory, came to Jerusalem to adore the Lord: and as soon as they were purified, they all offered holocausts, and vows, and their promises. + +** Judith 16:23 + +And Judith offered for an anathema of oblivion all the arms of Holofernes, which the people gave her, and the canopy that she had taken away out of his chamber. + +** Judith 16:24 + +And the people were joyful in the sight of the sanctuary, and for three months the joy of this victory was celebrated with Judith. + +** Judith 16:25 + +And after those days every man returned to his house, and Judith was made great in Bethulia, and she was most renowned in all the land of Israel. + +** Judith 16:26 + +And chastity was joined to her virtue, so that she knew no man all the days of her life, after the death of Manasses her husband. + +** Judith 16:27 + +And on festival days she came forth with great glory. + +** Judith 16:28 + +And she abode in her husband's house a hundred and five years, and made her handmaid free, and she died, and was buried with her husband in Bethulia. + +** Judith 16:29 + +And all the people mourned for seven days. + +** Judith 16:30 + +And all the time of her life there was none that troubled Israel, nor many years after her death. + +** Judith 16:31 + +But the day of the festivity of this victory is received by the Hebrews in the number of holy days, and is religiously observed by the Jews from that time until

How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary! + +** Lamentations 1:2 + +Beth. Weeping, she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies. + +** Lamentations 1:3 + +Ghimel. Juda hath removed her dwelling place, because of her affliction, and the greatness of her bondage; she hath dwelt among the nations, and she hath found no rest; all her persecutors have taken her in the midst of straits. + +** Lamentations 1:4 + +Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down; her priests sigh; her virgins are in affliction; and she is oppressed with bitterness. + +** Lamentations 1:5 + +He. Her adversaries are become her lords; her enemies are enriched; because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities; her children are led into captivity, before the face of the oppressor. + +** Lamentations 1:6 + +Vau. And from the daughter of Sion, all her beauty is departed; her princes are become like rams that find no pastures; and they are gone away without strength before the face of the pursuer. + +** Lamentations 1:7 + +Zain. Jerusalem hath remembered the days of her affliction, and prevarication of all her desirable things which she had from the days of old, when her people fell in the enemy's hand, and there was no helper; the enemies have seen her, and have mocked at her sabbaths. + +** Lamentations 1:8 + +Heth. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore is she become unstable; all that honoured her, have despised her, because they have seen her shame; but she sighed, and turned backward. + +** Lamentations 1:9 + +Teth. Her filthiness is on her feet, and she hath not remembered her end; she is wonderfully cast down, not having a comforter: behold, O Lord, my affliction, because the enemy is lifted up. + +** Lamentations 1:10 + +Jod. The enemy hath put out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy church. + +** Lamentations 1:11 + +Caph. All her people sigh, they seek bread: they have given all their precious things for food to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider, for I am become vile. + +** Lamentations 1:12 + +Lamed. O all ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce anger. + +** Lamentations 1:13 + +Mem. From above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the day long. + +** Lamentations 1:14 + +Nun. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened: the Lord hath delivered me into a hand, out of which I am not able to rise. + +** Lamentations 1:15 + +Samech.

Therefore do I weep, and my eyes run down with water: because the comforter, the relief of my soul, is far from me: my children are desolate because the enemy hath prevailed. + +** Lamentations 1:17 + +Phe. Sion hath spread forth her hands, there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded against Jacob, his enemies are round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. + +** Lamentations 1:18 + +Sade. The Lord is just, for I have provoked his mouth to wrath: hear, I pray you, all ye people, and see my sorrow: my virgins, and my young men are gone into captivity. + +** Lamentations 1:19 + +Coph. I called for my friends, but they deceived me: my priests and my ancients pined away in the city: while they sought their food, to relieve their souls. + +** Lamentations 1:20 + +Res. Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled: my heart is turned within me, for I am full of bitterness: abroad the sword destroyeth and at home there is death alike. + +** Lamentations 1:21 + +Sin.

How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger. + +** Lamentations 2:2 + +Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof. + +** Lamentations 2:3 + +Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about. + +** Lamentations 2:4 + +Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his indignation like fire. + +** Lamentations 2:5 + +He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the daughter of Juda the afflicted, both men and women. + +** Lamentations 2:6 + +Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach, and to the indignation of his wrath. + +** Lamentations 2:7 + +Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast. + +** Lamentations 2:8 + +Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together. + +** Lamentations 2:9 + +Teth. 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, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord. + +** Lamentations 2:10 + +Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. + +** Lamentations 2:11 + +Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city. + +** Lamentations 2:12 + +Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers. + +** Lamentations 2:13 + +Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee? + +** Lamentations 2:14 + +Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments. + +** Lamentations 2:15 + +Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth? + +** Lamentations 2:16 + +Phe. All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we have seen it. + +** Lamentations 2:17 + +Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries. + +** Lamentations 2:18 + +Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease. + +** Lamentations 2:19 + +Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water, before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets. + +** Lamentations 2:20 + +Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? + +** Lamentations 2:21 + +Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity. + +** Lamentations 2:22 + +Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them. + +* Lamentations 3 + +** Lamentations 3:1 + +Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation. + +** Lamentations 3:2 + +Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light. + +** Lamentations 3:3 + +Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day. + +** Lamentations 3:4 + +Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones. + +** Lamentations 3:5 + +Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall, and labour. + +** Lamentations 3:6 + +Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever. + +** Lamentations 3:7 + +Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy. + +** Lamentations 3:8 + +Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer. + +** Lamentations 3:9 + +Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down. + +** Lamentations 3:10 + +Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places. + +** Lamentations 3:11 + +Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate. + +** Lamentations 3:12 + +Daleth. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for his arrows. + +** Lamentations 3:13 + +He. He hath shot into my reins the daughters of his quiver. + +** Lamentations 3:14 + +He. I am made a derision to all my people, their song all the day long. + +** Lamentations 3:15 + +He. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath inebriated me with wormwood. + +** Lamentations 3:16 + +Vau. And he hath broken my teeth one by one, he hath fed me with ashes. + +** Lamentations 3:17 + +Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten good things. + +** Lamentations 3:18 + +Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord. + +** Lamentations 3:19 + +Zain. Remember my poverty, and transgression, the wormwood and the gall. + +** Lamentations 3:20 + +Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish within me. + +** Lamentations 3:21 + +Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope. + +** Lamentations 3:22 + +Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because his commiserations have not failed. + +** Lamentations 3:23 + +Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness. + +** Lamentations 3:24 + +Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait for him. + +** Lamentations 3:25 + +Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him. + +** Lamentations 3:26 + +Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God. + +** Lamentations 3:27 + +Teth. It is good for a man, when he hath borne the yoke from his youth. + +** Lamentations 3:28 + +Jod. He shall sit solitary, and hold his peace: because he hath taken it up upon himself. + +** Lamentations 3:29 + +Jod. He shall put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope. + +** Lamentations 3:30 + +Jod. He shall give his cheek to him that striketh him, he shall be filled with reproaches. + +** Lamentations 3:31 + +Caph. For the Lord will not cast off for ever. + +** Lamentations 3:32 + +Caph. For if he hath cast off, he will also have mercy, according to the multitude of his mercies. + +** Lamentations 3:33 + +Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the children of men. + +** Lamentations 3:34 + +Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land, + +** Lamentations 3:35 + +Lamed. To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the most High, + +** Lamentations 3:36 + +Lamed. To destroy a man wrongfully in his judgment, the Lord hath not approved. + +** Lamentations 3:37 + +Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the Lord commandeth it not? + +** Lamentations 3:38 + +Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest? + +** Lamentations 3:39 + +Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins? + +** Lamentations 3:40 + +Nun. Let us search our ways, and seek, and return to the Lord. + +** Lamentations 3:41 + +Nun. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to the Lord in the heavens. + +** Lamentations 3:42 + +Nun. We have done wickedly, and provoked thee to wrath: therefore thou art inexorable. + +** Lamentations 3:43 + +Samech. Thou hast covered in thy wrath, and hast struck us: thou hast killed and hast not spared. + +** Lamentations 3:44 + +Samech. Thou hast set a cloud before thee, that our prayer may not pass through. + +** Lamentations 3:45 + +Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people. + +** Lamentations 3:46 + +Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. + +** Lamentations 3:47 + +Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and destruction. + +** Lamentations 3:48 + +Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. + +** Lamentations 3:49 + +Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there was no rest: + +** Lamentations 3:50 + +Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens. + +** Lamentations 3:51 + +Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city. + +** Lamentations 3:52 + +Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without cause. + +** Lamentations 3:53 + +Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone over me. + +** Lamentations 3:54 + +Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off. + +** Lamentations 3:55 + +Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit. + +** Lamentations 3:56 + +Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my sighs, and cries. + +** Lamentations 3:57 + +Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou saidst: Fear not. + +** Lamentations 3:58 + +Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life. + +** Lamentations 3:59 + +Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou my judgment. + +** Lamentations 3:60 + +Res. Thou hast seen all their fury, and all their thoughts against me. + +** Lamentations 3:61 + +Sin. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, all their imaginations against me. + +** Lamentations 3:62 + +Sin. The lips of them that rise up against me: and their devices against me all the day. + +** Lamentations 3:63 + +Sin. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up, I am their song. + +** Lamentations 3:64 + +Thau. Thou shalt render them a recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands. + +** Lamentations 3:65 + +Thau. Thou shalt give them a buckler of heart, thy labour. + +** Lamentations 3:66 + +Thau. Thou shalt persecute them in anger, and shalt destroy them from under the heavens, O Lord. + +* Lamentations 4 + +** Lamentations 4:1 + +Aleph. How is the gold become dim, the finest colour is changed, the stones of the sanctuary are scattered in the top of every street? + +** Lamentations 4:2 + +Beth. The noble sons of Sion, and they that were clothed with the best gold: how are they esteemed as earthen vessels, the work of the potter's hands? + +** Lamentations 4:3 + +Ghimel. Even the sea monsters have drawn out the breast, they have given suck to their young: the daughter of my people is cruel, like the ostrich in the desert. + +** Lamentations 4:4 + +Daleth. The tongue of the sucking child hath stuck to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the little ones have asked for bread, and there was none to break it unto them. + +** Lamentations 4:5 + +He. They that were fed delicately have died in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet have embraced the dung. + +** Lamentations 4:6 + +Vau. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people is made greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and hands took nothing in her. + +** Lamentations 4:7 + +Zain. Her Nazarites were whiter than snow, purer than milk, more ruddy than the old ivory, fairer than the sapphire. + +** Lamentations 4:8 + +Heth. Their face is now made blacker than coals, and they are not known in the streets: their skin hath stuck to their bones, it is withered, and is become like wood. + +** Lamentations 4:9 + +Teth. It was better with them that were slain by the sword, than with them that died with hunger: for these pined away being consumed for want of the fruits of the earth. + +** Lamentations 4:10 + +Jod. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. + +** Lamentations 4:11 + +Caph. The Lord hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger: and he hath kindled a fire in Sion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof. + +** Lamentations 4:12 + +Lamed. The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world would not have believed, that the adversary and the enemy should enter in by the gates of Jerusalem. + +** Lamentations 4:13 + +Mem. For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her. + +** Lamentations 4:14 + +Nun. They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they were defiled with blood: and when they could not help walking in it, they held up their skirts. + +** Lamentations 4:15 + +Samech. Depart you that are defiled, they cried out to them: Depart, get ye hence, touch not: for they quarrelled, and being removed, they said among the Gentiles: He will no more dwell among them. + +** Lamentations 4:16 + +Phe. The face of the Lord hath divided them, he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, neither had they pity on the ancient. + +** Lamentations 4:17 + +Ain. While we were yet standing, our eyes failed, expecting help for us in vain, when we looked attentively towards a nation that was not able to save. + +** Lamentations 4:18 + +Sade. Our steps have slipped in the way of our streets, our end draweth near: our days are fulfilled, for our end is come. + +** Lamentations 4:19 + +Coph. Our persecutors were swifter than the eagles of the air: they pursued us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness. + +** Lamentations 4:20 + +Res.

And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle: + +** Leviticus 8:5 + +He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done. + +** Leviticus 8:6 + +And immediately, he offered Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them, + +** Leviticus 8:7 + +He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick: and over it he put the ephod. + +** Leviticus 8:8 + +And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth. + +** Leviticus 8:9 + +He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him. + +** Leviticus 8:10 + +He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof. + +** Leviticus 8:11 + +And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof: and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil. + +** Leviticus 8:12 + +And he poured it upon Aaron's head: and he anointed and consecrated him. + +** Leviticus 8:13 + +And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles: and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded. + +** Leviticus 8:14 + +He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof, + +** Leviticus 8:15 + +He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof. + +** Leviticus 8:16 + +But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar. + +** Leviticus 8:17 + +And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded. + +** Leviticus 8:18 + +He offered also a ram for holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head: + +** Leviticus 8:19 + +He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about the altar. + +** Leviticus 8:20 + +And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire. + +** Leviticus 8:21 + +Having first washed the entrails, and the feet, and the whole ram together he burnt upon the altar: because it was a holocaust of most sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commanded him. + +** Leviticus 8:22 + +He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: and Aaron, and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof. + +** Leviticus 8:23 + +And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and touched the tip of Aaron's right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot. + +** Leviticus 8:24 + +He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about. + +** Leviticus 8:25 + +But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated. + +** Leviticus 8:26 + +And taking out of the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder: + +** Leviticus 8:27 + +Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons. Who having lifted them up before the Lord, + +** Leviticus 8:28 + +He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of holocaust: because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet odour of sacrifice to the Lord. + +** Leviticus 8:29 + +And he took of the ram of consecration, the breast for his portion, elevating it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him. + +** Leviticus 8:30 + +And taking the ointment, and the blood that was upon the altar, he sprinkled Aaron, and his vestments, and his sons, and their vestments with it. + +** Leviticus 8:31 + +And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them. + +** Leviticus 8:32 + +And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the loaves, shall be consumed with fire. + +** Leviticus 8:33 + +And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration shall be expired.

For so it hath been commanded me. + +** Leviticus 8:36 + +And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses. + +* Leviticus 9 + +** Leviticus 9:1 + +And when the eighth day was come, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the ancients of Israel, and said to Aaron: + +** Leviticus 9:2 + +Take of the herd a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust, both without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. + +** Leviticus 9:3 + +And to the children of Israel thou shalt say: Take ye a he goat for sin, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, and without blemish for a holocaust. + +** Leviticus 9:4 + +Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings. And immolate them before the Lord, offering for the sacrifice of every one of them flour tempered with oil: for to day the Lord will appear to you. + +** Leviticus 9:5 + +They brought therefore all things that Moses had commanded before the door of the tabernacle: where when all the multitude stood, + +** Leviticus 9:6 + +Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded. Do it, and his glory will appear to you. + +** Leviticus 9:7 + +And he said to Aaron: Approach to the altar, and offer sacrifice for thy sin. Offer the holocaust, and pray for thyself and for the people: and when thou hast slain the people's victim, pray for them, as the Lord hath commanded. + +** Leviticus 9:8 + +And forthwith Aaron, approaching to the altar, immolated the calf for his sin. + +** Leviticus 9:9 + +And his sons brought him the blood of it: and he dipped his finger therein, and touched the horns of the altar, and poured the rest at the foot thereof. + +** Leviticus 9:10 + +And the fat, and the little kidneys, and the caul of the liver, which are for sin, he burnt upon the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Leviticus 9:11 + +But the flesh and skins thereof he burnt with fire without the camp. + +** Leviticus 9:12 + +He immolated also the victim of holocaust: and his sons brought him the blood thereof, which he poured round about on the altar. + +** Leviticus 9:13 + +And the victim being cut into pieces, they brought to him the head and all the members: all which he burnt with fire upon the altar. + +** Leviticus 9:14 + +Having first washed the entrails and the feet with water. + +** Leviticus 9:15 + +Then offering for the sin of the people, he slew the he goat: and expiating the altar, + +** Leviticus 9:16 + +He offered the holocaust. + +** Leviticus 9:17 + +Adding in the sacrifice the libations, which are offered withal, and burning them upon the altar, besides the ceremonies of the morning holocaust. + +** Leviticus 9:18 + +He immolated also the bullock and the ram, and peace offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which he poured upon the altar round about. + +** Leviticus 9:19 + +The fat also of the bullock, and the rump of the ram, and the two little kidneys with their fat, and the caul of the liver, + +** Leviticus 9:20 + +They put upon the breasts. And after the fat was burnt upon the altar, + +** Leviticus 9:21 + +Aaron separated their breasts, and the right shoulders, elevating them before the Lord, as Moses had commanded. + +** Leviticus 9:22 + +And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being finished, he came down. + +** Leviticus 9:23 + +And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and afterwards came forth and blessed the people. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the multitude. + +** Leviticus 9:24 + +And, behold, a fire, coming forth from the Lord, devoured the holocaust, and the fat that was upon the altar: which when the multitude saw, they praised the Lord, falling on their faces. + +* Leviticus 10 + +** Leviticus 10:1 + +And Nadab and Abiu, the sons of Aaron, taking their censers, put fire therein, and incense on it, offering before the Lord strange fire: which was not commanded them. + +** Leviticus 10:2 + +And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them: and they died before the Lord. + +** Leviticus 10:3 + +And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath spoken. I will be sanctified in them that approach to me: and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people. And when Aaron heard this, he held his peace. + +** Leviticus 10:4 + +And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said to them: Go and take away your brethren from before the sanctuary, and carry them without the camp. + +** Leviticus 10:5 + +And they went forthwith and took them as they lay, vested with linen tunicks, and cast them forth, as had been commanded them. + +** Leviticus 10:6 + +And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons: Uncover not your heads, and rend not your garments, lest perhaps you die, and indignation come upon all the congregation. Let your brethren, and all the house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled. + +** Leviticus 10:7 + +But you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle: otherwise you shall perish, for the oil of the holy unction is on you. And they did all things according to the precept of Moses. + +** Leviticus 10:8 + +The Lord also said to Aaron: + +** Leviticus 10:9 + +You shall not drink wine nor any thing that may make drunk, thou nor thy sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest you die. Because it is an everlasting precept; through your generations: + +** Leviticus 10:10 + +And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy and unholy, between unclean and clean: + +** Leviticus 10:11 + +And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances which the Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses. + +** Leviticus 10:12 + +And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons that were left: Take the sacrifice that is remaining of the oblation of the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is holy of holies. + +** Leviticus 10:13 + +And you shall eat it in a holy place: which is given to thee and thy sons of the oblations of the Lord, as it hath been commanded me. + +** Leviticus 10:14 + +The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder that is separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, thou and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee. For they are set aside for thee and thy children, of the victims of peace offerings of the children of Israel. + +** Leviticus 10:15 + +Because they have elevated before the Lord the shoulder and the breast, and the fat that is burnt on the altar: and they belong to thee and to thy sons by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded. + +** Leviticus 10:16 + +While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt. And being angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, he said: + +** Leviticus 10:17 + +Why did you not eat in the holy place the sacrifice for sin, which is most holy, and given to you, that you may bear the iniquity of the people, and may pray for them in the sight of the Lord. + +** Leviticus 10:18 + +Especially, whereas none of the blood thereof hath been carried within the holy places: and you ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, as was commanded me? + +** Leviticus 10:19 + +Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the victim for sin, and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me what thou seest has happened. How could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful heart? + +** Leviticus 10:20 + +Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied. + +* Leviticus 11 + +** Leviticus 11:1 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: + +** Leviticus 11:2 + +Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth. + +** Leviticus 11:3 + +Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat. + +** Leviticus 11:4 + +But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others: that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean. + +** Leviticus 11:5 + +The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean. + +** Leviticus 11:6 + +The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof. + +** Leviticus 11:7 + +And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud. + +** Leviticus 11:8 + +The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you. + +** Leviticus 11:9 + +These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat. + +** Leviticus 11:10 + +But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you, + +** Leviticus 11:11 + +And detestable.

Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family: + +** Leviticus 25:11 + +Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines, + +** Leviticus 25:12 + +Because of the sanctification of the jubilee.

And he made signs to them and remained dumb. + +** Luke 1:23 + +And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house. + +** Luke 1:24 + +And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived and hid herself five months, saying: + +** Luke 1:25 + +Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men. + +** Luke 1:26 + +And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, + +** Luke 1:27 + +To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin's name was Mary. + +** Luke 1:28 + +And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. + +** Luke 1:29 + +Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. + +** Luke 1:30 + +And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. + +** Luke 1:31 + +Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. + +** Luke 1:32 + +He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. + +** Luke 1:33 + +And of his kingdom there shall be no end. + +** Luke 1:34 + +And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? + +** Luke 1:35 + +And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. + +** Luke 1:36 + +And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren. + +** Luke 1:37 + +Because no word shall be impossible with God. + +** Luke 1:38 + +And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. + +** Luke 1:39 + +And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. + +** Luke 1:40 + +And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth. + +** Luke 1:41 + +And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost. + +** Luke 1:42 + +And she cried out with a loud voice and said: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. + +** Luke 1:43 + +And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? + +** Luke 1:44 + +For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. + +** Luke 1:45 + +And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord. + +** Luke 1:46 + +And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. + +** Luke 1:47 + +And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. + +** Luke 1:48 + +Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. + +** Luke 1:49 + +Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name. + +** Luke 1:50 + +And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. + +** Luke 1:51 + +He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. + +** Luke 1:52 + +He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble. + +** Luke 1:53 + +He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away. + +** Luke 1:54 + +He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy. + +** Luke 1:55 + +As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever. + +** Luke 1:56 + +And Mary abode with her about three months. And she returned to her own house. + +** Luke 1:57 + +Now Elizabeth's full time of being delivered was come: and she brought forth a son. + +** Luke 1:58 + +And her neighbors and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her: and they congratulated with her. + +** Luke 1:59 + +And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they called him by his father's name Zachary. + +** Luke 1:60 + +And his mother answering, said: Not so. But he shall be called John. + +** Luke 1:61 + +And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. + +** Luke 1:62 + +And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. + +** Luke 1:63 + +And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered. + +** Luke 1:64 + +And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed: and he spoke, blessing God. + +** Luke 1:65 + +And fear came upon all their neighbours: and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea. + +** Luke 1:66 + +And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. + +** Luke 1:67 + +And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost. And he prophesied, saying: + +** Luke 1:68 + +Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people. + +** Luke 1:69 + +And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant. + +** Luke 1:70 + +As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning. + +** Luke 1:71 + +Salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us. + +** Luke 1:72 + +To perform mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy testament. + +** Luke 1:73 + +The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us. + +** Luke 1:74 + +That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear: + +** Luke 1:75 + +In holiness and justice before him, all our days. + +** Luke 1:76 + +And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt, go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: + +** Luke 1:77 + +To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins. + +** Luke 1:78 + +Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us: + +** Luke 1:79 + +To enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace. + +** Luke 1:80 + +And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit: and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel. + +* Luke 2 + +** Luke 2:1 + +And it came to pass that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. + +** Luke 2:2 + +This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria. + +** Luke 2:3 + +And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city. + +** Luke 2:4 + +And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David. + +** Luke 2:5 + +To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child. + +** Luke 2:6 + +And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were accomplished that she should be delivered. + +** Luke 2:7 + +And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn. + +** Luke 2:8 + +And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock. + +** Luke 2:9 + +And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them and the brightness of God shone round about them: and they feared with a great fear. + +** Luke 2:10 + +And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people: + +** Luke 2:11 + +For, this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. + +** Luke 2:12 + +And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. + +** Luke 2:13 + +And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying: + +** Luke 2:14 + +Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will. + +** Luke 2:15 + +And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us. + +** Luke 2:16 + +And they came with haste: and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. + +** Luke 2:17 + +And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child. + +** Luke 2:18 + +And all that heard wondered: and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. + +** Luke 2:19 + +But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. + +** Luke 2:20 + +And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. + +** Luke 2:21 + +And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. + +** Luke 2:22 + +And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord: + +** Luke 2:23 + +As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord: + +** Luke 2:24 + +And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons: + +** Luke 2:25 + +And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon: and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Ghost was in him. + +** Luke 2:26 + +And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. + +** Luke 2:27 + +And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, + +** Luke 2:28 + +He also took him into his arms and blessed God and said + +** Luke 2:29 + +Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace: + +** Luke 2:30 + +Because my eyes have seen thy salvation, + +** Luke 2:31 + +Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: + +** Luke 2:32 + +A light to the revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel. + +** Luke 2:33 + +And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him. + +** Luke 2:34 + +And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and for the resurrection of many in Israel and for a sign which shall be contradicted. + +** Luke 2:35 + +And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed. + +** Luke 2:36 + +And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser. She was far advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity. + +** Luke 2:37 + +And she was a widow until fourscore and four years: who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day. + +** Luke 2:38 + +Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord: and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel. + +** Luke 2:39 + +And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth. + +** Luke 2:40 + +And the child grew and waxed strong, full of wisdom: and the grace of God was in him. + +** Luke 2:41 + +And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch. + +** Luke 2:42 + +And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast, + +** Luke 2:43 + +And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents knew it not. + +** Luke 2:44 + +And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance. + +** Luke 2:45 + +And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him. + +** Luke 2:46 + +And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them and asking them questions. + +** Luke 2:47 + +And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers. + +** Luke 2:48 + +And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. + +** Luke 2:49 + +And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be about my father's business? + +** Luke 2:50 + +And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them. + +** Luke 2:51 + +And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart. + +** Luke 2:52 + +And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace with God and men. + +* Luke 3 + +** Luke 3:1 + +Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina: + +** Luke 3:2 + +Under the high priests Anna and Caiphas: the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert. + +** Luke 3:3 + +And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins. + +** Luke 3:4 + +As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. + +** Luke 3:5 + +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 plain. + +** Luke 3:6 + +And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. + +** Luke 3:7 + +He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? + +** Luke 3:8 + +Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance: and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you that God is able of these stones, to raise up children to Abraham. + +** Luke 3:9 + +For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire. + +** Luke 3:10 + +And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do? + +** Luke 3:11 + +And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner. + +** Luke 3:12 + +And the publicans also came to be baptized and said to him: Master, what shall we do? + +** Luke 3:13 + +But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you. + +** Luke 3:14 + +And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man, neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay. + +** Luke 3:15 + +And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ: + +** Luke 3:16 + +John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water: but there shall come one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire; + +** Luke 3:17 + +Whose fan is in his hand: and he will purge his floor and will gather the wheat into his barn: but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. + +** Luke 3:18 + +And many other things exhorting did he preach to the people. + +** Luke 3:19 + +But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done: + +** Luke 3:20 + +He added this also above all and shut up John in prison. + +** Luke 3:21 + +Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened. + +** Luke 3:22 + +And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove, upon him. And a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased. + +** Luke 3:23 + +And Jesus himself was beginning about the age of thirty years: being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of Mathat, + +** Luke 3:24 + +Who was of Levi, who was of Melchi. who was of Janne, who was of Joseph, + +** Luke 3:25 + +Who was of Mathathias, who was of Amos, who was of Nahum, who was of Hesli, who was of Nagge, + +** Luke 3:26 + +Who was of Mahath, who was of Mathathias, who was of Semei, who was of Joseph, who was of Juda, + +** Luke 3:27 + +Who was of Joanna, who was of Reza, who was of Zorobabel, who was of Salathiel, who was of Neri, + +** Luke 3:28 + +Who was of Melchi, who was of Addi, who was of Cosan, who was of Helmadan, who was of Her, + +** Luke 3:29 + +Who was of Jesus, who was of Eliezer, who was of Jorim, who was of Mathat, who was of Levi, + +** Luke 3:30 + +Who was of Simeon, who was of Judas, who was of Joseph, who was of Jona, who was of Eliakim, + +** Luke 3:31 + +Who was of Melea, who was of Menna, who was of Mathatha, who was of Nathan, who was of David, + +** Luke 3:32 + +Who was of Jesse, who was of Obed, who was of Booz, who was of Salmon, who was of Naasson, + +** Luke 3:33 + +Who was of Aminadab, who was of Aram, who was of Esron, who was of Phares, who was of Judas, + +** Luke 3:34 + +Who was of Jacob, who was of Isaac, who was of Abraham, who was of Thare, who was of Nachor, + +** Luke 3:35 + +Who was of Sarug, who was of Ragau, who was of Phaleg, who was of Heber, who was of Sale, + +** Luke 3:36 + +Who was of Cainan, who was of Arphaxad, who was of Sem, who was Of Noe, who was of Lamech, + +** Luke 3:37 + +Who was of Mathusale, who was of Henoch, who was of Jared, who was of Malaleel, who was of Cainan, + +** Luke 3:38 + +Who was of Henos, who was of Seth, who was of Adam, who was of God. + +* Luke 4 + +** Luke 4:1 + +And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan and was led the by the spirit into the desert, + +** Luke 4:2 + +For the space of forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. + +** Luke 4:3 + +And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread. + +** Luke 4:4 + +And Jesus answered him: is written that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God. + +** Luke 4:5 + +And the devil led him into a high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. + +** Luke 4:6 + +And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power and the glory of them. For to me they are delivered: and to whom I will, I give them. + +** Luke 4:7 + +If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine. + +** Luke 4:8 + +And Jesus answering said to him. It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. + +** Luke 4:9 + +And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of the temple and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence. + +** Luke 4:10 + +For it is written that He hath given his angels charge over thee that they keep thee. + +** Luke 4:11 + +And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. + +** Luke 4:12 + +And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. + +** Luke 4:13 + +And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time. + +** Luke 4:14 + +And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit, into Galilee: and the fame of him went out through the whole country. + +** Luke 4:15 + +And he taught in their synagogues and was magnified by all. + +** Luke 4:16 + +And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day: and he rose up to read. + +** Luke 4:17 + +And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written: + +** Luke 4:18 + +The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart, + +** Luke 4:19 + +To preach deliverance to the captives and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of reward. + +** Luke 4:20 + +And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. + +** Luke 4:21 + +And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears. + +** Luke 4:22 + +And all gave testimony to him. And they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth. And they said: Is not this the son of Joseph? + +** Luke 4:23 + +And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself. As great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country. + +** Luke 4:24 + +And he said: Amen I say to you that no prophet is accepted in his own country. + +** Luke 4:25 + +In truth I say to You, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth. + +** Luke 4:26 + +And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman. + +** Luke 4:27 + +And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian. + +** Luke 4:28 + +And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger. + +** Luke 4:29 + +And they rose up and thrust him out of the city: and they brought him to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. + +** Luke 4:30 + +But he passing through the midst of them, went his way. + +** Luke 4:31 + +And he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee: and there he taught them on the sabbath days. + +** Luke 4:32 + +And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his speech was with power. + +** Luke 4:33 + +And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil: and he cried out with a loud voice, + +** Luke 4:34 + +Saying: Let us alone. What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God. + +** Luke 4:35 + +And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace and go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him and hurt him not at all. + +** Luke 4:36 + +And there came fear upon all; and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out? + +** Luke 4:37 + +And the fame of him was published into every place of the country. + +** Luke 4:38 + +And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever: and they besought him for her. + +** Luke 4:39 + +And standing over her, he commanded the fever: and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them. + +** Luke 4:40 + +And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him. But he, laying his hands on every one of them, healed them. + +** Luke 4:41 + +And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak; for they knew that he was Christ. + +** Luke 4:42 + +And when it was day, going out he went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought him, and came unto him. And they stayed him that should not depart from them. + +** Luke 4:43 + +To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent. + +** Luke 4:44 + +And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. + +* Luke 5 + +** Luke 5:1 + +And it came to pass, that when the multitudes pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Genesareth, + +** Luke 5:2 + +And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets. + +** Luke 5:3 + +And going into one of the ships that was Simon's, he desired him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting, he taught the multitudes out of the ship. + +** Luke 5:4 + +Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught. + +** Luke 5:5 + +And Simon answering said to him: Master, we have laboured all the night and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net. + +** Luke 5:6 + +And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great multitude of fishes: and their net broke. + +** Luke 5:7 + +And they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they were almost sinking. + +** Luke 5:8 + +Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. + +** Luke 5:9 + +For he was wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken. + +** Luke 5:10 + +And so were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. And Jesus saith to Simon: Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men. + +** Luke 5:11 + +And having brought their ships to land, leaving all things, they followed him. + +** Luke 5:12 + +And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy who, seeing Jesus and falling on his face, besought him saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. + +** Luke 5:13 + +And stretching forth his hand, he touched him, saying: I will. Be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. + +** Luke 5:14 + +And he charged him that he should tell no man, but: Go, shew thyself to the priest and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. + +** Luke 5:15 + +But the fame of him went abroad the more: and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. + +** Luke 5:16 + +And he retired into the desert; and prayed. + +** Luke 5:17 + +And it came to pass on a certain day, as he sat teaching, that there were also Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, that were come out of every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was to heal them. + +** Luke 5:18 + +And behold, men brought in a bed a man who had the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in and to lay him before him. + +** Luke 5:19 + +And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up upon the roof and let him down through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus. + +** Luke 5:20 + +Whose faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. + +** Luke 5:21 + +And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? + +** Luke 5:22 + +And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering he said to them: What is it you think in your hearts? + +** Luke 5:23 + +Which is easier to say: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise and walk? + +** Luke 5:24 + +But that you may know that the Son of man hath the power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), I say to thee to: Arise, take up thy bed and go into thy house. + +** Luke 5:25 + +And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay: and he went away to his own house, glorifying God. + +** Luke 5:26 + +And all were astonished: and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful things to-day. + +** Luke 5:27 + +And after these things, he went forth and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him: Follow me. + +** Luke 5:28 + +And leaving all things, he rose up and followed him. + +** Luke 5:29 + +And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: And there was a great company of publicans and of others that were at table with them. + +** Luke 5:30 + +But the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners? + +** Luke 5:31 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: They that are whole need not the physician: but they that are sick. + +** Luke 5:32 + +I came not to call the just, but sinners to penance. + +** Luke 5:33 + +And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees in like manner; but thine eat and drink? + +** Luke 5:34 + +To whom he said: Can you make the children of the bridegroom fast whilst the bridegroom is with them? + +** Luke 5:35 + +But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: then shall they fast in those days. + +** Luke 5:36 + +And he spoke also a similitude to them: That no man putteth a piece from a new garment upon an old garment: otherwise he both rendeth the new, and the piece taken from the new agreeth not with the old. + +** Luke 5:37 + +And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the new wine will break the bottles; and it will be spilled and the bottles will be lost. + +** Luke 5:38 + +But new wine must be put into new bottles: and both are preserved. + +** Luke 5:39 + +And no man drinking old hath presently a mind to new: for he saith: The old is better. + +* Luke 6 + +** Luke 6:1 + +And it came to pass on the second first sabbath that, as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. + +** Luke 6:2 + +And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do you that which is not lawful on the sabbath days? + +** Luke 6:3 + +And Jesus answering them, said: Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry and they that were with him: + +** Luke 6:4 + +How he went into the house of God and took and ate the bread of proposition and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests? + +** Luke 6:5 + +And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. + +** Luke 6:6 + +And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught. And there was a man whose right hand was withered. + +** Luke 6:7 + +And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against him. + +** Luke 6:8 + +But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise and stand forth in the midst. And rising he stood forth. + +** Luke 6:9 + +Then Jesus said to them: I ask you, if it be lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil? To save life or to destroy? + +** Luke 6:10 + +And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth. And his hand was restored. + +** Luke 6:11 + +And they were filled with madness: and they talked one with another, what they might do to Jesus. + +** Luke 6:12 + +And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray: and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God. + +** Luke 6:13 + +And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples: and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles): + +** Luke 6:14 + +Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, + +** Luke 6:15 + +Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes, + +** Luke 6:16 + +And Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor. + +** Luke 6:17 + +And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place: and the company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast, both of Tyre and Sidon, + +** Luke 6:18 + +Who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. + +** Luke 6:19 + +And all the multitude sought to touch him: for virtue went out from him and healed all. + +** Luke 6:20 + +And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 6:21 + +Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh. + +** Luke 6:22 + +Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. + +** Luke 6:23 + +Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven, For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets. + +** Luke 6:24 + +But woe to you that are rich: for you have your consolation. + +** Luke 6:25 + +Woe to you that are filled: for you shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh: for you shall mourn and weep. + +** Luke 6:26 + +Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets. + +** Luke 6:27 + +But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies. Do good to them that hate you. + +** Luke 6:28 + +Bless them that curse you and pray for them that calumniate you. + +** Luke 6:29 + +And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also. + +** Luke 6:30 + +Give to every one that asketh thee: and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again. + +** Luke 6:31 + +And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner. + +** Luke 6:32 + +And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? For sinners also love those that love them. + +** Luke 6:33 + +And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are to you? For sinners also do this. + +** Luke 6:34 + +And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks are to you? For sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much. + +** Luke 6:35 + +But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest. For he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil. + +** Luke 6:36 + +Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. + +** Luke 6:37 + +Judge not: and you shall not be judged. Condemn not: and you shall not be condemned. Forgive: and you shall be forgiven. + +** Luke 6:38 + +Give: and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again. + +** Luke 6:39 + +And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? Do they not both fall into the ditch? + +** Luke 6:40 + +The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master. + +** Luke 6:41 + +And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? + +** Luke 6:42 + +Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye: and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye. + +** Luke 6:43 + +For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit: nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit. + +** Luke 6:44 + +For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns: nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape. + +** Luke 6:45 + +A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. + +** Luke 6:46 + +And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say? + +** Luke 6:47 + +Every one that cometh to me and heareth my words and doth them, I will shew you to whom he is like. + +** Luke 6:48 + +He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep and laid the foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat vehemently upon that house: and it could not shake it: for it was founded on a rock. + +** Luke 6:49 + +But he that heareth and doth not is like to a man building his house upon the earth without a foundation: against which the stream beat vehemently. And immediately it fell: and the ruin of that house was great. + +* Luke 7 + +** Luke 7:1 + +And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum. + +** Luke 7:2 + +And the servant of a certain centurion who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die. + +** Luke 7:3 + +And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant. + +** Luke 7:4 + +And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him. + +** Luke 7:5 + +For he loveth our nation: and he hath built us a synagogue. + +** Luke 7:6 + +And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof. + +** Luke 7:7 + +For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. + +** Luke 7:8 + +For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it. + +** Luke 7:9 + +Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel. + +** Luke 7:10 + +And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick. + +** Luke 7:11 + +And it came to pass afterwards that he went into a city that is called Naim: and there went with him his disciples and a great multitude. + +** Luke 7:12 + +And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother: and she was a widow. And a great multitude of the city was with her. + +** Luke 7:13 + +Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not. + +** Luke 7:14 + +And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise. + +** Luke 7:15 + +And he that was dead sat up and begun to speak. And he gave him to his mother. + +** Luke 7:16 + +And there came a fear upon them all: and they glorified God saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people. + +** Luke 7:17 + +And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea and throughout all the country round about. + +** Luke 7:18 + +And John's disciples told him of all these things. + +** Luke 7:19 + +And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another? + +** Luke 7:20 + +And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another? + +** Luke 7:21 + +(And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and hurts and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.) + +** Luke 7:22 + +And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached. + +** Luke 7:23 + +And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me. + +** Luke 7:24 + +And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? + +** Luke 7:25 + +But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately are in the houses of kings. + +** Luke 7:26 + +But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. + +** Luke 7:27 + +This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. + +** Luke 7:28 + +For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of men, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God is greater than he. + +** Luke 7:29 + +And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John's baptism. + +** Luke 7:30 + +But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him. + +** Luke 7:31 + +And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like? + +** Luke 7:32 + +They are like to children sitting in the marketplace and speaking one to another and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept. + +** Luke 7:33 + +For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine. And you say: He hath a devil. + +** Luke 7:34 + +The Son of man is come eating and drinking. And you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. + +** Luke 7:35 + +And wisdom is justified by all her children. + +** Luke 7:36 + +And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee and sat down to meat. + +** Luke 7:37 + +And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment. + +** Luke 7:38 + +And standing behind at his feet. she began to wash his feet with tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. + +** Luke 7:39 + +And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were if a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner. + +** Luke 7:40 + +And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it. + +** Luke 7:41 + +A certain creditor had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence and the other fifty. + +** Luke 7:42 + +And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most? + +** Luke 7:43 + +Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly. + +** Luke 7:44 + +And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house: thou gavest me no water for my feet. But she with tears hath washed my feet; and with her hairs hath wiped them. + +** Luke 7:45 + +Thou gavest me no kiss. But she, since she cane in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. + +** Luke 7:46 + +My head with oil thou didst not anoint. But she with ointment hath anointed my feet. + +** Luke 7:47 + +Wherefore, I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less. + +** Luke 7:48 + +And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee. + +** Luke 7:49 + +And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also? + +** Luke 7:50 + +And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe. Go in peace. + +* Luke 8 + +** Luke 8:1 + +And it came to pass afterwards he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God: and the twelve with him: + +** Luke 8:2 + +And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who is called Magdalen, out of whom seven devils were gone forth, + +** Luke 8:3 + +And Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna and many others who ministered unto him of their substance. + +** Luke 8:4 + +And when a very great multitude was gathered together and hastened out of the cities, unto him, he spoke by a similitude. + +** Luke 8:5 + +The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side. And it was trodden down: and the fowls of the air devoured it. + +** Luke 8:6 + +And other some fell upon a rock. And as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. + +** Luke 8:7 + +And other some fell among thorns. And the thorns growing up with it, choked it. + +** Luke 8:8 + +And other some fell upon good ground and, being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +** Luke 8:9 + +And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. + +** Luke 8:10 + +To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand. + +** Luke 8:11 + +Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. + +** Luke 8:12 + +And they by the way side are they that hear: then the devil cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. + +** Luke 8:13 + +Now they upon the rock are they who when they hear receive the word with joy: and these have no roots: for they believe for a while and in time of temptation they fall away. + +** Luke 8:14 + +And that which fell among thorns are they who have heard and, going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and yield no fruit. + +** Luke 8:15 + +But that on the good ground are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it and bring forth fruit in patience. + +** Luke 8:16 + +Now no man lighting a candle covereth it with a vessel or putteth it under a bed: but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light. + +** Luke 8:17 + +For there is not any thing secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden that shall not be known and come abroad. + +** Luke 8:18 + +Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, that also which he thinketh he hath shall be taken away from him. + +** Luke 8:19 + +And his mother and brethren came unto him: and they could not come at him for the crowd. + +** Luke 8:20 + +And it was told him: Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. + +** Luke 8:21 + +Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God and do it. + +** Luke 8:22 + +And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples. And he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. + +** Luke 8:23 + +And when they were sailing, he slept. And there came down a storm of wind upon the lake: and they were filled and were in danger. + +** Luke 8:24 + +And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water. And it ceased: and there was a calm. + +** Luke 8:25 + +And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea: and they obey him? + +** Luke 8:26 + +And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee. + +** Luke 8:27 + +And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time. And he wore no clothes: neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres. + +** Luke 8:28 + +And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me. + +** Luke 8:29 + +For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him: and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters: and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts. + +** Luke 8:30 + +And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion. Because many devils were entered into him. + +** Luke 8:31 + +And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. + +** Luke 8:32 + +And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. + +** Luke 8:33 + +The devils therefore went out of the man and entered into the swine. And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake and were stifled. + +** Luke 8:34 + +Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away and told it in the city and in the villages. + +** Luke 8:35 + +And they went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. + +** Luke 8:36 + +And they also that had seen told them how he had been healed from the legion. + +** Luke 8:37 + +And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again. + +** Luke 8:38 + +Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying: + +** Luke 8:39 + +Return to thy house and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him. + +** Luke 8:40 + +And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him. + +** Luke 8:41 + +And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus: and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house: + +** Luke 8:42 + +For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went that he was thronged by the multitudes. + +** Luke 8:43 + +And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians and could not be healed by any. + +** Luke 8:44 + +She came behind him and touched the hem of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stopped. + +** Luke 8:45 + +And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee; and dost thou say, who touched me? + +** Luke 8:46 + +And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me. + +** Luke 8:47 + +And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling and fell down before his feet and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed. + +** Luke 8:48 + +But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go thy way in peace. + +** Luke 8:49 + +As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead: trouble him not. + +** Luke 8:50 + +And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not. Believe only: and she shall be safe. + +** Luke 8:51 + +And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden. + +** Luke 8:52 + +And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not. The maid is not dead, but sleepeth. + +** Luke 8:53 + +And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. + +** Luke 8:54 + +But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise. + +** Luke 8:55 + +And her spirit returned: and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat. + +** Luke 8:56 + +And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done. + +* Luke 9 + +** Luke 9:1 + +Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. + +** Luke 9:2 + +And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. + +** Luke 9:3 + +And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. + +** Luke 9:4 + +And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there and depart not from thence. + +** Luke 9:5 + +And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them. + +** Luke 9:6 + +And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing every where. + +** Luke 9:7 + +Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him. And he was in a doubt, because it was said + +** Luke 9:8 + +By some that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared: and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. + +** Luke 9:9 + +And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him. + +** Luke 9:10 + +And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida. + +** Luke 9:11 + +Which when the people knew, they followed him: and he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed them who had need of healing. + +** Luke 9:12 + +Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place. + +** Luke 9:13 + +But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude. + +** Luke 9:14 + +Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company. + +** Luke 9:15 + +And they did so and made them all sit down. + +** Luke 9:16 + +And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude. + +** Luke 9:17 + +And they did all eat and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets. + +** Luke 9:18 + +And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am? + +** Luke 9:19 + +But they answered and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias: and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again. + +** Luke 9:20 + +And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God. + +** Luke 9:21 + +But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man. + +** Luke 9:22 + +Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes and be killed and the third day rise again. + +** Luke 9:23 + +And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. + +** Luke 9:24 + +For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: for he that shall lose his life for my sake shall save it. + +** Luke 9:25 + +For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world and lose himself and cast away himself? + +** Luke 9:26 + +For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy angels. + +** Luke 9:27 + +But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 9:28 + +And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and James and John and went up into a mountain to pray. + +** Luke 9:29 + +And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered and his raiment became white and glittering. + +** Luke 9:30 + +And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias, + +** Luke 9:31 + +Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem. + +** Luke 9:32 + +But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory and the two men that stood with him. + +** Luke 9:33 + +And it came to pass that, as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses; and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. + +** Luke 9:34 + +And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them. And they were afraid when they entered into the cloud. + +** Luke 9:35 + +And a voice came out of the cloud; saying: This is my beloved son. Hear him. + +** Luke 9:36 + +And whilst the voice was uttered Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen. + +** Luke 9:37 + +And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude. + +** Luke 9:38 + +And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one. + +** Luke 9:39 + +And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him. + +** Luke 9:40 + +And I desired thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not. + +** Luke 9:41 + +And Jesus, answering:, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son. + +** Luke 9:42 + +And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down and tore him. + +** Luke 9:43 + +And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and cured the boy and restored him to his father. + +** Luke 9:44 + +And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. + +** Luke 9:45 + +But they understood not this word: and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word. + +** Luke 9:46 + +And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater. + +** Luke 9:47 + +But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and set him by him, + +** Luke 9:48 + +And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater. + +** Luke 9:49 + +And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. + +** Luke 9:50 + +And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you. + +** Luke 9:51 + +And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. + +** Luke 9:52 + +And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. + +** Luke 9:53 + +And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem. + +** Luke 9:54 + +And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them? + +** Luke 9:55 + +And turning, he rebuked them, saying: you know not of what spirit you are. + +** Luke 9:56 + +The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town. + +** Luke 9:57 + +And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. + +** Luke 9:58 + +Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. + +** Luke 9:59 + +But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father. + +** Luke 9:60 + +And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 9:61 + +And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house. + +** Luke 9:62 + +Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. + +* Luke 10 + +** Luke 10:1 + +And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come. + +** Luke 10:2 + +And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest. + +** Luke 10:3 + +Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves. + +** Luke 10:4 + +Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. + +** Luke 10:5 + +Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house. + +** Luke 10:6 + +And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you. + +** Luke 10:7 + +And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. + +** Luke 10:8 + +And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. + +** Luke 10:9 + +And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. + +** Luke 10:10 + +But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say: + +** Luke 10:11 + +Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand. + +** Luke 10:12 + +I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom than for that city. + +** Luke 10:13 + +Woe to thee, Corozain! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the mighty works that have been wrought in you, they would have done penance long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. + +** Luke 10:14 + +But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. + +** Luke 10:15 + +And thou, Capharnaum, which art exalted unto heaven, thou shalt be thrust down to hell. + +** Luke 10:16 + +He that heareth you heareth me: and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. + +** Luke 10:17 + +And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name. + +** Luke 10:18 + +And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven. + +** Luke 10:19 + +Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you. + +** Luke 10:20 + +But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you: but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven. + +** Luke 10:21 + +In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight. + +** Luke 10:22 + +All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son and to whom the Son will reveal him. + +** Luke 10:23 + +And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. + +** Luke 10:24 + +For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them. + +** Luke 10:25 + +And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? + +** Luke 10:26 + +But he said to him: What is written in the law? How readest thou? + +** Luke 10:27 + +He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself. + +** Luke 10:28 + +And he said to him: Thou hast answered right. This do: and thou shalt live. + +** Luke 10:29 + +But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? + +** Luke 10:30 + +And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead. + +** Luke 10:31 + +And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by. + +** Luke 10:32 + +In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. + +** Luke 10:33 + +But a certain Samaritan, being on his journey, came near him: and seeing him, was moved with compassion: + +** Luke 10:34 + +And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn and took care of him. + +** Luke 10:35 + +And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee. + +** Luke 10:36 + +Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers? + +** Luke 10:37 + +But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner. + +** Luke 10:38 + +Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. + +** Luke 10:39 + +And she had a sister called Mary. who, sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word. + +** Luke 10:40 + +But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me. + +** Luke 10:41 + +And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things: + +** Luke 10:42 + +But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her. + +* Luke 11 + +** Luke 11:1 + +And it came to pass that as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. + +** Luke 11:2 + +And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. + +** Luke 11:3 + +Give us this day our daily bread. + +** Luke 11:4 + +And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation. + +** Luke 11:5 + +And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him at midnight and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves, + +** Luke 11:6 + +Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me and I have not what to set before him. + +** Luke 11:7 + +And he from within should answer and say: Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give thee. + +** Luke 11:8 + +Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. + +** Luke 11:9 + +And I say to you: Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. + +** Luke 11:10 + +For every one that asketh receiveth: and he that seeketh findeth: and to him that knocketh it shall be opened: + +** Luke 11:11 + +And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? Or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? + +** Luke 11:12 + +Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion? + +** Luke 11:13 + +If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him? + +** Luke 11:14 + +And he was casting out a devil: and the same was dumb. And when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes, were in admiration at it. + +** Luke 11:15 + +But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils. + +** Luke 11:16 + +And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven. + +** Luke 11:17 + +But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation; and house upon house shall fall. + +** Luke 11:18 + +And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils. + +** Luke 11:19 + +Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. + +** Luke 11:20 + +But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. + +** Luke 11:21 + +When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in peace which he possesseth. + +** Luke 11:22 + +But if a stronger than he come upon him and overcome him, he will take away all his armour wherein he trusted and will distribute his spoils. + +** Luke 11:23 + +He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. + +** Luke 11:24 + +When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest: and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out. + +** Luke 11:25 + +And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. + +** Luke 11:26 + +Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself: and entering in they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. + +** Luke 11:27 + +And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee and the paps that gave thee suck. + +** Luke 11:28 + +But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it. + +** Luke 11:29 + +And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This generation is a wicked generation. It asketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. + +** Luke 11:30 + +For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man also be to this generation. + +** Luke 11:31 + +The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation and shall condemn them: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold more than Solomon here. + +** Luke 11:32 + +The men of Ninive shall rise in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it; Because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold more than Jonas here. + +** Luke 11:33 + +No man lighteth a candle and putteth it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel: but upon a candlestick, that they that come in may see the light. + +** Luke 11:34 + +The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body also will be darksome. + +** Luke 11:35 + +Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. + +** Luke 11:36 + +If then thy whole body be lightsome, having no part of darkness: the whole shall be lightsome and, as a bright lamp, shall enlighten thee. + +** Luke 11:37 + +And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat. + +** Luke 11:38 + +And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner. + +** Luke 11:39 + +And the Lord said to him: Now you, Pharisees, make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter: but your inside is full of rapine and iniquity. + +** Luke 11:40 + +Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make also that which is within? + +** Luke 11:41 + +But yet that which remaineth, give alms: and behold, all things are clean unto you. + +** Luke 11:42 + +But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every herb and pass over judgment and the charity of God. Now these things you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone. + +** Luke 11:43 + +Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues and salutations in the marketplace. + +** Luke 11:44 + +Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not: and men that walk over are not aware. + +** Luke 11:45 + +And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him: Master, in saying these things, thou reproachest us also. + +** Luke 11:46 + +But he said: Woe to you lawyers also, because you load men with burdens which they cannot bear and you yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers. + +** Luke 11:47 + +Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your fathers killed them. + +** Luke 11:48 + +Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers. For they indeed killed them: and you build their sepulchres. + +** Luke 11:49 + +For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles: and some of them they will kill and persecute. + +** Luke 11:50 + +That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, + +** Luke 11:51 + +From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea I say to you: It shall be required of this generation. + +** Luke 11:52 + +Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered in: and those that were entering in, you have hindered. + +** Luke 11:53 + +And as he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the lawyers began violently to urge him and to oppress his mouth about many things, + +** Luke 11:54 + +Lying in wait for him and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him. + +* Luke 12 + +** Luke 12:1 + +And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. + +** Luke 12:2 + +For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed: nor hidden that shall not be known. + +** Luke 12:3 + +For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers shall be preached on the housetops. + +** Luke 12:4 + +And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. + +** Luke 12:5 + +But I will shew you whom you shall fear: Fear ye him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you: Fear him. + +** Luke 12:6 + +Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? + +** Luke 12:7 + +Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows. + +** Luke 12:8 + +And I say to you: Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God. + +** Luke 12:9 + +But he that shall deny me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. + +** Luke 12:10 + +And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven. + +** Luke 12:11 + +And when they shall bring you into the synagogues and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say. + +** Luke 12:12 + +For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say. + +** Luke 12:13 + +And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me. + +** Luke 12:14 + +But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge or divider over you? + +** Luke 12:15 + +And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness: for a man's life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth. + +** Luke 12:16 + +And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits. + +** Luke 12:17 + +And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? + +** Luke 12:18 + +And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and will build greater: and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me and my goods. + +** Luke 12:19 + +And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Take thy rest: eat, drink, make good cheer. + +** Luke 12:20 + +But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee. And whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? + +** Luke 12:21 + +So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich towards God. + +** Luke 12:22 + +And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you: Be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. + +** Luke 12:23 + +The life is more than the meat: and the body is more than the raiment. + +** Luke 12:24 + +Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they? + +** Luke 12:25 + +And which of you by taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? + +** Luke 12:26 + +If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest? + +** Luke 12:27 + +Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these. + +** Luke 12:28 + +Now, if God clothe in this manner the grass that is to-day in the field and to-morrow is cast into the oven: how much more you, O ye of little faith? + +** Luke 12:29 + +And seek not what you shall eat or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high. + +** Luke 12:30 + +For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things. + +** Luke 12:31 + +But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice: and all these things shall be added unto you. + +** Luke 12:32 + +Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom. + +** Luke 12:33 + +Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth. + +** Luke 12:34 + +For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. + +** Luke 12:35 + +Let your loins be girt and lamps burning in your hands. + +** Luke 12:36 + +And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. + +** Luke 12:37 + +Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and make them sit down to meat and passing will minister unto them. + +** Luke 12:38 + +And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants. + +** Luke 12:39 + +But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. + +** Luke 12:40 + +Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not the Son of man will come. + +** Luke 12:41 + +And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all? + +** Luke 12:42 + +And the Lord said: Who thinkest thou is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season? + +** Luke 12:43 + +Blessed is that servant whom, when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing. + +** Luke 12:44 + +Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth. + +** Luke 12:45 + +But if that servant shall say in his heart: My Lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the men-servants and maid-servants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk: + +** Luke 12:46 + +The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not: and shall separate him and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers. + +** Luke 12:47 + +And that servant, who knew the will of his lord and prepared not himself and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. + +** Luke 12:48 + +But he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more. + +** Luke 12:49 + +I am come to cast fire on the earth. And what will I, but that it be kindled? + +** Luke 12:50 + +And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized. And how am I straitened until it be accomplished? + +** Luke 12:51 + +Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation. + +** Luke 12:52 + +For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three. + +** Luke 12:53 + +The father shall be divided against the son and the son against his father: the mother against the daughter and the daughter against her mother: the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. + +** Luke 12:54 + +And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming. And so it happeneth. + +** Luke 12:55 + +And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will heat. And it cometh to pass. + +** Luke 12:56 + +You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time? + +** Luke 12:57 + +And why, even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just? + +** Luke 12:58 + +And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to he judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison. + +** Luke 12:59 + +I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence until thou pay the very last mite. + +* Luke 13 + +** Luke 13:1 + +And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. + +** Luke 13:2 + +And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things? + +** Luke 13:3 + +No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish. + +** Luke 13:4 + +Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe and slew them: think you that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem? + +** Luke 13:5 + +No, I say to you: but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish. + +** Luke 13:6 + +He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard: and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. + +** Luke 13:7 + +And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and I find none. Cut it down therefore. Why cumbereth it the ground? + +** Luke 13:8 + +But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it and dung it. + +** Luke 13:9 + +And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. + +** Luke 13:10 + +And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath. + +** Luke 13:11 + +And behold there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. And she was bowed together: neither could she look upwards at all. + +** Luke 13:12 + +Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity. + +** Luke 13:13 + +And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight and glorified God. + +** Luke 13:14 + +And the ruler of the synagogue being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come and be healed: and not on the sabbath day. + +** Luke 13:15 + +And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger and lead them to water? + +** Luke 13:16 + +And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? + +** Luke 13:17 + +And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him. + +** Luke 13:18 + +He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it? + +** Luke 13:19 + +It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden: and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof. + +** Luke 13:20 + +And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like? + +** Luke 13:21 + +It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. + +** Luke 13:22 + +And he went through the cities and towns teaching and making his journey to Jerusalem. + +** Luke 13:23 + +And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them: + +** Luke 13:24 + +Strive to enter by the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter and shall not be able. + +** Luke 13:25 + +But when the master of the house shall be gone in and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without; and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are. + +** Luke 13:26 + +Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence: and thou hast taught in our streets. + +** Luke 13:27 + +And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. + +** Luke 13:28 + +There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth; when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God: and you yourselves thrust out. + +** Luke 13:29 + +And there shall come from the east and the west and the north and the south: and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 13:30 + +And behold, they are last that shall be first: and they are first that shall be last. + +** Luke 13:31 + +The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. + +** Luke 13:32 + +And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out devils and do cures, to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am consummated. + +** Luke 13:33 + +Nevertheless, I must walk to-day and to-morrow and the day following, because it cannot be that a prophet perish, out of Jerusalem. + +** Luke 13:34 + +Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets; and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not? + +** Luke 13:35 + +Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you that you shall not see me till the time come when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. + +* Luke 14 + +** Luke 14:1 + +And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, that they watched him. + +** Luke 14:2 + +And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy. + +** Luke 14:3 + +And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? + +** Luke 14:4 + +But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him and sent him away. + +** Luke 14:5 + +And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day? + +** Luke 14:6 + +And they could not answer him to these things. + +** Luke 14:7 + +And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them: + +** Luke 14:8 + +When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him: + +** Luke 14:9 + +And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place. And then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. + +** Luke 14:10 + +But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee. + +** Luke 14:11 + +Because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. + +** Luke 14:12 + +And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren nor thy kinsmen nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee. + +** Luke 14:13 + +But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind. + +** Luke 14:14 + +And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just. + +** Luke 14:15 + +When one of them that sat at table with him had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 14:16 + +But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper and invited many. + +** Luke 14:17 + +And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come: for now all things are ready. + +** Luke 14:18 + +And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm and I must needs go out and see it. I pray thee, hold me excused. + +** Luke 14:19 + +And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to try them. I pray thee, hold me excused. + +** Luke 14:20 + +And another said: I have married a wife; and therefore I cannot come. + +** Luke 14:21 + +And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city; and bring in hither the poor and the feeble and the blind and the lame. + +** Luke 14:22 + +And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded; and yet there is room. + +** Luke 14:23 + +And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. + +** Luke 14:24 + +But I say unto you that none of those men that were invited shall taste of my supper. + +** Luke 14:25 + +And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them: + +** Luke 14:26 + +If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. + +** Luke 14:27 + +And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. + +** Luke 14:28 + +For which of you, having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it: + +** Luke 14:29 + +Lest, after he hath laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him, + +** Luke 14:30 + +Saying: This man began to build and was not able to finish. + +** Luke 14:31 + +Or, what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him? + +** Luke 14:32 + +Or else, while the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace. + +** Luke 14:33 + +So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth cannot be my disciple. + +** Luke 14:34 + +Salt is good. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? + +** Luke 14:35 + +It is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill: but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +* Luke 15 + +** Luke 15:1 + +Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him. + +** Luke 15:2 + +And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them. + +** Luke 15:3 + +And he spoke to them this parable, saying: + +** Luke 15:4 + +What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after that which was lost, until he find it? + +** Luke 15:5 + +And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing? + +** Luke 15:6 + +And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost? + +** Luke 15:7 + +I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance. + +** Luke 15:8 + +Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it? + +** Luke 15:9 + +And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost. + +** Luke 15:10 + +So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance. + +** Luke 15:11 + +And he said: A certain man had two sons. + +** Luke 15:12 + +And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance. + +** Luke 15:13 + +And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously. + +** Luke 15:14 + +And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country: and he began to be in want. + +** Luke 15:15 + +And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine. + +** Luke 15:16 + +And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. + +** Luke 15:17 + +And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father's house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger! + +** Luke 15:18 + +I will arise and will go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee. + +** Luke 15:19 + +I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. + +** Luke 15:20 + +And rising up, he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion and running to him fell upon his neck and kissed him. + +** Luke 15:21 + +And the son said to him: Father: I have sinned against heaven and before thee I am not now worthy to be called thy son. + +** Luke 15:22 + +And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe and put it on him: and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet. + +** Luke 15:23 + +And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it: and let us eat and make merry: + +** Luke 15:24 + +Because this my son was dead and is come to life again, was lost and is found. And they began to be merry. + +** Luke 15:25 + +Now his elder son was in the field and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. + +** Luke 15:26 + +And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. + +** Luke 15:27 + +And he said to him: Thy brother is come and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe. + +** Luke 15:28 + +And he was angry and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him. + +** Luke 15:29 + +And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee and I have never transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends. + +** Luke 15:30 + +But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. + +** Luke 15:31 + +But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me; and all I have is thine. + +** Luke 15:32 + +But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found. + +* Luke 16 + +** Luke 16:1 + +And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods. + +** Luke 16:2 + +And he called him and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer. + +** Luke 16:3 + +And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed. + +** Luke 16:4 + +I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. + +** Luke 16:5 + +Therefore, calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? + +** Luke 16:6 + +But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty. + +** Luke 16:7 + +Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill and write eighty. + +** Luke 16:8 + +And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. + +** Luke 16:9 + +And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity: that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. + +** Luke 16:10 + +He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little is unjust also in that which is greater. + +** Luke 16:11 + +If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon, who will trust you with that which is the true? + +** Luke 16:12 + +And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? + +** Luke 16:13 + +No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other: or he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. + +** Luke 16:14 + +Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. + +** Luke 16:15 + +And he said to them: you are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is high to men is an abomination before God. + +** Luke 16:16 + +The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is preached: and every one useth violence towards it. + +** Luke 16:17 + +And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one tittle of the law to fall. + +** Luke 16:18 + +Every one that putteth away his wife and marrieth another committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. + +** Luke 16:19 + +There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and feasted sumptuously every day. + +** Luke 16:20 + +And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores, + +** Luke 16:21 + +Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. And no one did give him: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. + +** Luke 16:22 + +And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell. + +** Luke 16:23 + +And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom: + +** Luke 16:24 + +And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. + +** Luke 16:25 + +And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and thou art tormented. + +** Luke 16:26 + +And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you cannot, nor from thence come hither. + +** Luke 16:27 + +And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, for I have five brethren, + +** Luke 16:28 + +That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments. + +** Luke 16:29 + +And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them. + +** Luke 16:30 + +But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance. + +** Luke 16:31 + +And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead. + +* Luke 17 + +** Luke 17:1 + +And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come. But woe to him through whom they come! + +** Luke 17:2 + +It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones. + +** Luke 17:3 + +Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him. + +** Luke 17:4 + +And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying: I repent: forgive him. + +** Luke 17:5 + +And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith. + +** Luke 17:6 + +And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree: Be thou rooted up and be thou transplanted into the sea. And it would obey you. + +** Luke 17:7 + +But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go. Sit down to meat. + +** Luke 17:8 + +And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper and gird thyself and serve me, whilst I eat and drink; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink? + +** Luke 17:9 + +Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded him? + +** Luke 17:10 + +I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do. + +** Luke 17:11 + +And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. + +** Luke 17:12 + +And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off. + +** Luke 17:13 + +And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. + +** Luke 17:14 + +Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. + +** Luke 17:15 + +And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. + +** Luke 17:16 + +And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this was a Samaritan. + +** Luke 17:17 + +And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine? + +** Luke 17:18 + +There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger. + +** Luke 17:19 + +And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole. + +** Luke 17:20 + +And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answering them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. + +** Luke 17:21 + +Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you. + +** Luke 17:22 + +And he said to his disciples: The days will come when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man. And you shall not see it. + +** Luke 17:23 + +And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them. + +** Luke 17:24 + +For as the lightning that lighteneth from under heaven shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day. + +** Luke 17:25 + +But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. + +** Luke 17:26 + +And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. + +** Luke 17:27 + +They did eat and drink, they married wives and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all. + +** Luke 17:28 + +Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot. They did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built. + +** Luke 17:29 + +And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. + +** Luke 17:30 + +Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed. + +** Luke 17:31 + +In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back. + +** Luke 17:32 + +Remember Lot's wife. + +** Luke 17:33 + +Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it. + +** Luke 17:34 + +I say to you: In that night there shall be two men in one bed. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. + +** Luke 17:35 + +Two women shall be grinding together. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two men shall be in the field. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. + +** Luke 17:36 + +They answering, say to him: Where, Lord? + +** Luke 17:37 + +Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together. + +* Luke 18 + +** Luke 18:1 + +And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint, + +** Luke 18:2 + +Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man. + +** Luke 18:3 + +And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. + +** Luke 18:4 + +And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man, + +** Luke 18:5 + +Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me. + +** Luke 18:6 + +And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith. + +** Luke 18:7 + +And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard? + +** Luke 18:8 + +I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth? + +** Luke 18:9 + +And to some who trusted in themselves as just and despised others, he spoke also this parable: + +** Luke 18:10 + +Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee and the other a publican. + +** Luke 18:11 + +The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. + +** Luke 18:12 + +I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess. + +** Luke 18:13 + +And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner. + +** Luke 18:14 + +I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. + +** Luke 18:15 + +And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them. + +** Luke 18:16 + +But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 18:17 + +Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child shall not enter into it. + +** Luke 18:18 + +And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life? + +** Luke 18:19 + +And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone. + +** Luke 18:20 + +Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother. + +** Luke 18:21 + +Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth. + +** Luke 18:22 + +Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee. Sell all whatever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me. + +** Luke 18:23 + +He having heard these things, became sorrowful: for he was very rich. + +** Luke 18:24 + +And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God + +** Luke 18:25 + +For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 18:26 + +And they that heard it said: Who then can be saved? + +** Luke 18:27 + +He said to them: The things that are impossible with men are possible with God. + +** Luke 18:28 + +Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee. + +** Luke 18:29 + +Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left home or parents or brethren or wife or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, + +** Luke 18:30 + +Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. + +** Luke 18:31 + +Then Jesus took unto him the twelve and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man. + +** Luke 18:32 + +For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon. + +** Luke 18:33 + +And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death. And the third day he shall rise again. + +** Luke 18:34 + +And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them: and they understood not the things that were said. + +** Luke 18:35 + +Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging. + +** Luke 18:36 + +And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant. + +** Luke 18:37 + +And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. + +** Luke 18:38 + +And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. + +** Luke 18:39 + +And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me. + +** Luke 18:40 + +And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him, + +** Luke 18:41 + +Saying; What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see. + +** Luke 18:42 + +And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole. + +** Luke 18:43 + +And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. + +* Luke 19 + +** Luke 19:1 + +And entering he walked through Jericho. + +** Luke 19:2 + +And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans: and he was rich. + +** Luke 19:3 + +And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature. + +** Luke 19:4 + +And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him: for he was to pass that way. + +** Luke 19:5 + +And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down: for this day I must abide in thy house. + +** Luke 19:6 + +And he made haste and came down and received him with joy. + +** Luke 19:7 + +And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner. + +** Luke 19:8 + +But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold. + +** Luke 19:9 + +Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. + +** Luke 19:10 + +For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. + +** Luke 19:11 + +As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested. + +** Luke 19:12 + +He said therefore: a certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. + +** Luke 19:13 + +And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds and said to them: Trade till I come. + +** Luke 19:14 + +But his citizens hated him and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us. + +** Luke 19:15 + +And it came to pass that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading, + +** Luke 19:16 + +And the first came saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. + +** Luke 19:17 + +And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities. + +** Luke 19:18 + +And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. + +** Luke 19:19 + +And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities. + +** Luke 19:20 + +And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin. + +** Luke 19:21 + +For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down: and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow. + +** Luke 19:22 + +He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down and reaping that which I did not sow. + +** Luke 19:23 + +And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have exacted it with usury? + +** Luke 19:24 + +And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him and give it to him that hath ten pounds. + +** Luke 19:25 + +And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds. + +** Luke 19:26 + +But I say to you that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him. + +** Luke 19:27 + +But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither and kill them before me. + +** Luke 19:28 + +And having said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem. + +** Luke 19:29 + +And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, + +** Luke 19:30 + +Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him and bring him hither. + +** Luke 19:31 + +And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? You shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service. + +** Luke 19:32 + +And they that were sent went their way and found the colt standing, as he said unto them. + +** Luke 19:33 + +And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt? + +** Luke 19:34 + +But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him. + +** Luke 19:35 + +And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon. + +** Luke 19:36 + +And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way. + +** Luke 19:37 + +And when he was now coming near the descent of Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen, + +** Luke 19:38 + +Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high! + +** Luke 19:39 + +And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples. + +** Luke 19:40 + +To whom he said: I say to you that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. + +** Luke 19:41 + +And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: + +** Luke 19:42 + +If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they are hidden from thy eyes. + +** Luke 19:43 + +For the days shall come upon thee: and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and straiten thee on every side, + +** Luke 19:44 + +And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation. + +** Luke 19:45 + +And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein and them that bought. + +** Luke 19:46 + +Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves. + +** Luke 19:47 + +And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him. + +** Luke 19:48 + +And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. + +* Luke 20 + +** Luke 20:1 + +And it came to pass that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together, + +** Luke 20:2 + +And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? Or, who is he that hath given thee this authority? + +** Luke 20:3 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me: + +** Luke 20:4 + +The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? + +** Luke 20:5 + +But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe in him? + +** Luke 20:6 + +But if we say, of men: the whole people will stone us. For they are persuaded that John was a prophet. + +** Luke 20:7 + +And they answered that they knew not whence it was. + +** Luke 20:8 + +And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. + +** Luke 20:9 + +And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time. + +** Luke 20:10 + +And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty. + +** Luke 20:11 + +And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also and, treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty. + +** Luke 20:12 + +And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also and cast him out. + +** Luke 20:13 + +Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be, when they see him, they will reverence him. + +** Luke 20:14 + +Whom, when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. + +** Luke 20:15 + +So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? + +** Luke 20:16 + +He will come and will destroy these husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid. + +** Luke 20:17 + +But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? + +** Luke 20:18 + +Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. + +** Luke 20:19 + +And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them. + +** Luke 20:20 + +And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor. + +** Luke 20:21 + +And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth. + +** Luke 20:22 + +Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no? + +** Luke 20:23 + +But he, considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me? + +** Luke 20:24 + +Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him: Caesar's. + +** Luke 20:25 + +And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things, that are Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's. + +** Luke 20:26 + +And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace. + +** Luke 20:27 + +And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection: and they asked him, + +** Luke 20:28 + +Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother. + +** Luke 20:29 + +There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died without children. + +** Luke 20:30 + +And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless. + +** Luke 20:31 + +And the third took her. And in like manner, all the seven: and they left no children and died. + +** Luke 20:32 + +Last of all the woman died also. + +** Luke 20:33 + +In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife. + +** Luke 20:34 + +And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry and are given in marriage: + +** Luke 20:35 + +But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead shall neither be married nor take wives. + +** Luke 20:36 + +Neither can they die any more for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. + +** Luke 20:37 + +Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed at the bush, when he called the Lord: The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. + +** Luke 20:38 + +For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him. + +** Luke 20:39 + +And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well. + +** Luke 20:40 + +And after that they durst not ask him any more questions. + +** Luke 20:41 + +But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David? + +** Luke 20:42 + +And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, + +** Luke 20:43 + +Till I make thy enemies thy footstool. + +** Luke 20:44 + +David then calleth him Lord. And how is he his son? + +** Luke 20:45 + +And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples: + +** Luke 20:46 + +Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes and love salutations in the market place and the first chairs in the synagogues and the chief rooms at feasts: + +** Luke 20:47 + +Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation. + +* Luke 21 + +** Luke 21:1 + +And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury. + +** Luke 21:2 + +And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites. + +** Luke 21:3 + +And he said: Verily, I say to you that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. + +** Luke 21:4 + +For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want hath cast in all the living that she had. + +** Luke 21:5 + +And some saying of the temple that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said: + +** Luke 21:6 + +These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down. + +** Luke 21:7 + +And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass? + +** Luke 21:8 + +Who said: Take heed you be not seduced: for many will come in my name, saying: I am he and the time is at hand. Go ye not therefore after them. + +** Luke 21:9 + +And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified. These things must first come to pass: but the end is not yet presently. + +** Luke 21:10 + +Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. + +** Luke 21:11 + +And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places and pestilences and famines and terrors from heaven: and there shall be great signs. + +** Luke 21:12 + +But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake. + +** Luke 21:13 + +And it shall happen unto you for a testimony. + +** Luke 21:14 + +Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer: + +** Luke 21:15 + +For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay. + +** Luke 21:16 + +And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren and kinsmen and friends: and some of you they will put to death. + +** Luke 21:17 + +And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. + +** Luke 21:18 + +But a hair of your head shall not perish. + +** Luke 21:19 + +In your patience you shall possess your souls. + +** Luke 21:20 + +And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand. + +** Luke 21:21 + +Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains: and those who are in the midst thereof depart out: and those who are in the countries not enter into it. + +** Luke 21:22 + +For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written. + +** Luke 21:23 + +But woe to them that are with child and give suck in those days: for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. + +** Luke 21:24 + +And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled. + +** Luke 21:25 + +And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves: + +** Luke 21:26 + +Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved. + +** Luke 21:27 + +And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty. + +** Luke 21:28 + +But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand. + +** Luke 21:29 + +And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the trees: + +** Luke 21:30 + +When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh; + +** Luke 21:31 + +So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. + +** Luke 21:32 + +Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled. + +** Luke 21:33 + +Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. + +** Luke 21:34 + +And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly. + +** Luke 21:35 + +For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth. + +** Luke 21:36 + +Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man. + +** Luke 21:37 + +And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple: but at night going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet. + +** Luke 21:38 + +And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him. + +* Luke 22 + +** Luke 22:1 + +Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the pasch, was at hand. + +** Luke 22:2 + +And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death: but they feared the people. + +** Luke 22:3 + +And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve. + +** Luke 22:4 + +And he went and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them. + +** Luke 22:5 + +And they were glad and covenanted to give him money. + +** Luke 22:6 + +And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude. + +** Luke 22:7 + +And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed. + +** Luke 22:8 + +And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat. + +** Luke 22:9 + +But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare? + +** Luke 22:10 + +And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in. + +** Luke 22:11 + +And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee: Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? + +** Luke 22:12 + +And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished. And there prepare. + +** Luke 22:13 + +And they going, found as he had said to them and made ready the pasch. + +** Luke 22:14 + +And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him. + +** Luke 22:15 + +And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer. + +** Luke 22:16 + +For I say to you that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. + +** Luke 22:17 + +And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks and said: Take and divide it among you. + +** Luke 22:18 + +For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come. + +** Luke 22:19 + +And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. + +** Luke 22:20 + +In like manner, the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you. + +** Luke 22:21 + +But yet behold: the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. + +** Luke 22:22 + +And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed. + +** Luke 22:23 + +And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. + +** Luke 22:24 + +And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater. + +** Luke 22:25 + +And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them are called beneficent. + +** Luke 22:26 + +But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger: and he that is the leader, as he that serveth. + +** Luke 22:27 + +For which is greater, he that sitteth at table or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth. + +** Luke 22:28 + +And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations: + +** Luke 22:29 + +And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom; + +** Luke 22:30 + +That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. + +** Luke 22:31 + +And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. + +** Luke 22:32 + +But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren. + +** Luke 22:33 + +Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison and to death. + +** Luke 22:34 + +And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them: + +** Luke 22:35 + +When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes, did you want anything? + +** Luke 22:36 + +But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword. + +** Luke 22:37 + +For I say to you that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me. And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end. + +** Luke 22:38 + +But they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them: It is enough. + +** Luke 22:39 + +And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him. + +** Luke 22:40 + +And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. + +** Luke 22:41 + +And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast. And kneeling down, he prayed. + +** Luke 22:42 + +Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done. + +** Luke 22:43 + +And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. + +** Luke 22:44 + +And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground. + +** Luke 22:45 + +And when he rose up from prayer and was come to the disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. + +** Luke 22:46 + +And he said to them: Why sleep you? Arise: pray: lest you enter into temptation. + +** Luke 22:47 + +As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him. + +** Luke 22:48 + +And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss? + +** Luke 22:49 + +And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword? + +** Luke 22:50 + +And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. + +** Luke 22:51 + +But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him. + +** Luke 22:52 + +And Jesus said to the chief priests and magistrates of the temple and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs? + +** Luke 22:53 + +When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour and the power of darkness. + +** Luke 22:54 + +And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off. + +** Luke 22:55 + +And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them. + +** Luke 22:56 + +Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him. + +** Luke 22:57 + +But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not. + +** Luke 22:58 + +And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not. + +** Luke 22:59 + +And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him: for he is also a Galilean. + +** Luke 22:60 + +And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew. + +** Luke 22:61 + +And the Lord turning looked on Peter.

For with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits: and they obey him. + +** Mark 1:28 + +And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee. + +** Mark 1:29 + +And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. + +** Mark 1:30 + +And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her. + +** Mark 1:31 + +And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. + +** Mark 1:32 + +And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. + +** Mark 1:33 + +And all the city was gathered together at the door. + +** Mark 1:34 + +And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. + +** Mark 1:35 + +And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed. + +** Mark 1:36 + +And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. + +** Mark 1:37 + +And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee. + +** Mark 1:38 + +And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. + +** Mark 1:39 + +And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and casting out devils. + +** Mark 1:40 + +And there came a leper to him, beseeching him and kneeling down, said to him: If thou wilt thou canst make me clean. + +** Mark 1:41 + +And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean. + +** Mark 1:42 + +And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: and he was made clean. + +** Mark 1:43 + +And he strictly charged him and forthwith sent him away. + +** Mark 1:44 + +And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. + +** Mark 1:45 + +But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city. but was without in desert places. And they flocked to him from all sides. + +* Mark 2 + +** Mark 2:1 + +And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days. + +** Mark 2:2 + +And it was heard that he was in the house. And many came together, so that there was no room: no, not even at the door. And he spoke to them the word. + +** Mark 2:3 + +And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four. + +** Mark 2:4 + +And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was: and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay. + +** Mark 2:5 + +And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. + +** Mark 2:6 + +And there were some of the scribes sitting there and thinking in their hearts: + +** Mark 2:7 + +Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only? + +** Mark 2:8 + +Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts? + +** Mark 2:9 + +Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed and walk? + +** Mark 2:10 + +But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy): + +** Mark 2:11 + +I say to thee: Arise. Take up thy bed and go into thy house. + +** Mark 2:12 + +And immediately he arose and, taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all: so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like. + +** Mark 2:13 + +And he went forth again to the sea side: and all the multitude came to him. And he taught them. + +** Mark 2:14 + +And when he was passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me. And rising up, he followed him. + +** Mark 2:15 + +And it came to pass as he sat at meat in his house, many Publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they were many, who also followed him. + +** Mark 2:16 + +And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners? + +** Mark 2:17 + +Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners. + +** Mark 2:18 + +And the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to fast. And they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast? + +** Mark 2:19 + +And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. + +** Mark 2:20 + +But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: and then they shall fast in those days. + +** Mark 2:21 + +No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent. + +** Mark 2:22 + +And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles. + +** Mark 2:23 + +And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward and to pluck the ears of corn. + +** Mark 2:24 + +And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? + +** Mark 2:25 + +And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, himself and they that were with him? + +** Mark 2:26 + +How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him? + +** Mark 2:27 + +And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. + +** Mark 2:28 + +Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also. + +* Mark 3 + +** Mark 3:1 + +And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there who had a withered hand. + +** Mark 3:2 + +And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, that they might accuse him. + +** Mark 3:3 + +And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst. + +** Mark 3:4 + +And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace. + +** Mark 3:5 + +And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him. + +** Mark 3:6 + +And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. + +** Mark 3:7 + +But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea, + +** Mark 3:8 + +And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him. + +** Mark 3:9 + +And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. + +** Mark 3:10 + +For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils. + +** Mark 3:11 + +And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: and they cried, saying: + +** Mark 3:12 + +Thou art the Son of God. And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known. + +** Mark 3:13 + +And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him. + +** Mark 3:14 + +And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach. + +** Mark 3:15 + +And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. + +** Mark 3:16 + +And to Simon he gave the name Peter: + +** Mark 3:17 + +And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder. + +** Mark 3:18 + +And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananean: + +** Mark 3:19 + +And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. + +** Mark 3:20 + +And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. + +** Mark 3:21 + +And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad. + +** Mark 3:22 + +And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils. + +** Mark 3:23 + +And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? + +** Mark 3:24 + +And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. + +** Mark 3:25 + +And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. + +** Mark 3:26 + +And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end. + +** Mark 3:27 + +No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house. + +** Mark 3:28 + +Amen I say to you that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme: + +** Mark 3:29 + +But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. + +** Mark 3:30 + +Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit. + +** Mark 3:31 + +And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. + +** Mark 3:32 + +And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. + +** Mark 3:33 + +And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren? + +** Mark 3:34 + +And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren. + +** Mark 3:35 + +For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother. + +* Mark 4 + +** Mark 4:1 + +And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship and sat in the sea: and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side. + +** Mark 4:2 + +And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine: + +** Mark 4:3 + +Hear ye: Behold, the sower went out to sow. + +** Mark 4:4 + +And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up. + +** Mark 4:5 + +And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth. + +** Mark 4:6 + +And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. + +** Mark 4:7 + +And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. + +** Mark 4:8 + +And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred. + +** Mark 4:9 + +And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +** Mark 4:10 + +And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable. + +** Mark 4:11 + +And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables: + +** Mark 4:12 + +That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. + +** Mark 4:13 + +And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this, parable? and how shall you know all parables? + +** Mark 4:14 + +He that soweth, soweth the word. + +** Mark 4:15 + +And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. + +** Mark 4:16 + +And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. + +** Mark 4:17 + +And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized. + +** Mark 4:18 + +And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word, + +** Mark 4:19 + +And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless. + +** Mark 4:20 + +And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred. + +** Mark 4:21 + +And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? + +** Mark 4:22 + +For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad. + +** Mark 4:23 + +If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. + +** Mark 4:24 + +And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you. + +** Mark 4:25 + +For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him. + +** Mark 4:26 + +And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth, + +** Mark 4:27 + +And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not. + +** Mark 4:28 + +For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear. + +** Mark 4:29 + +And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. + +** Mark 4:30 + +And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it? + +** Mark 4:31 + +It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth: + +** Mark 4:32 + +And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof. + +** Mark 4:33 + +And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear. + +** Mark 4:34 + +And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples. + +** Mark 4:35 + +And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side. + +** Mark 4:36 + +And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him. + +** Mark 4:37 + +And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled. + +** Mark 4:38 + +And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth, it not concern thee that we perish? + +** Mark 4:39 + +And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm. + +** Mark 4:40 + +And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him? + +* Mark 5 + +** Mark 5:1 + +And they came over the strait of the sea, into the country of the Gerasens. + +** Mark 5:2 + +And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit, + +** Mark 5:3 + +Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains. + +** Mark 5:4 + +For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him. + +** Mark 5:5 + +And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones. + +** Mark 5:6 + +And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him. + +** Mark 5:7 + +And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not. + +** Mark 5:8 + +For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit. + +** Mark 5:9 + +And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many. + +** Mark 5:10 + +And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country. + +** Mark 5:11 + +And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding. + +** Mark 5:12 + +And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. + +** Mark 5:13 + +And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, were stifled in the sea. + +** Mark 5:14 + +And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done: + +** Mark 5:15 + +And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid. + +** Mark 5:16 + +And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine. + +** Mark 5:17 + +And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts. + +** Mark 5:18 + +And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him. + +** Mark 5:19 + +And he admitted him not, but saith him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy thee. + +** Mark 5:20 + +And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered. + +** Mark 5:21 + +And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea. + +** Mark 5:22 + +And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet. + +** Mark 5:23 + +And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live. + +** Mark 5:24 + +And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him. + +** Mark 5:25 + +And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years, + +** Mark 5:26 + +And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse, + +** Mark 5:27 + +When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment. + +** Mark 5:28 + +For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole. + +** Mark 5:29 + +And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil. + +** Mark 5:30 + +And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments? + +** Mark 5:31 + +And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me? + +** Mark 5:32 + +And he looked about to see her who had done this. + +** Mark 5:33 + +But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. + +** Mark 5:34 + +And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease. + +** Mark 5:35 + +While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further? + +** Mark 5:36 + +But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe. + +** Mark 5:37 + +And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. + +** Mark 5:38 + +And they cone to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much. + +** Mark 5:39 + +And going in, he saith to them Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. + +** Mark 5:40 + +And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. + +** Mark 5:41 + +And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise. + +** Mark 5:42 + +And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment. + +** Mark 5:43 + +And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat. + +* Mark 6 + +** Mark 6:1 + +And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his disciples followed him. + +** Mark 6:2 + +And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands? + +** Mark 6:3 + +Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him. + +** Mark 6:4 + +And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred. + +** Mark 6:5 + +And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them. + +** Mark 6:6 + +And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching. + +** Mark 6:7 + +And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. + +** Mark 6:8 + +And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only; no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, + +** Mark 6:9 + +But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats. + +** Mark 6:10 + +And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place. + +** Mark 6:11 + +And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them. + +** Mark 6:12 + +And going forth they preached men should do penance: + +** Mark 6:13 + +And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. + +** Mark 6:14 + +And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. + +** Mark 6:15 + +And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets. + +** Mark 6:16 + +Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead. + +** Mark 6:17 + +For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. + +** Mark 6:18 + +For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. + +** Mark 6:19 + +Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death and could not. + +** Mark 6:20 + +For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly. + +** Mark 6:21 + +And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee. + +** Mark 6:22 + +And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. + +** Mark 6:23 + +And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom. + +** Mark 6:24 + +Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But her mother said: The head of John the Baptist. + +** Mark 6:25 + +And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist. + +** Mark 6:26 + +And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: + +** Mark 6:27 + +But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. + +** Mark 6:28 + +And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave to the damsel, and the damsel gave it her mother. + +** Mark 6:29 + +Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb. + +** Mark 6:30 + +And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught. + +** Mark 6:31 + +And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat. + +** Mark 6:32 + +And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart. + +** Mark 6:33 + +And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither foot from all the cities, and were there before them. + +** Mark 6:34 + +And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. + +** Mark 6:35 + +And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: + +** Mark 6:36 + +Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat. + +** Mark 6:37 + +And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat. + +** Mark 6:38 + +And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes. + +** Mark 6:39 + +And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. + +** Mark 6:40 + +And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. + +** Mark 6:41 + +And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all. + +** Mark 6:42 + +And they all did eat, and had their fill. + +** Mark 6:43 + +And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, and of the fishes. + +** Mark 6:44 + +And they that did eat, were five thousand men. + +** Mark 6:45 + +And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people. + +** Mark 6:46 + +And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray, + +** Mark 6:47 + +And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land. + +** Mark 6:48 + +And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them. + +** Mark 6:49 + +But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out. + +** Mark 6:50 + +For they all saw him, and were troubled bled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not. + +** Mark 6:51 + +And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves: + +** Mark 6:52 + +For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded. + +** Mark 6:53 + +And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore. + +** Mark 6:54 + +And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him: + +** Mark 6:55 + +And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. + +** Mark 6:56 + +And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. + +* Mark 7 + +** Mark 7:1 + +And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem. + +** Mark 7:2 + +And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. + +** Mark 7:3 + +For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients. + +** Mark 7:4 + +And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots and of brazen vessels and of beds. + +** Mark 7:5 + +And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands? + +** Mark 7:6 + +But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. + +** Mark 7:7 + +And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men. + +** Mark 7:8 + +For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these. + +** Mark 7:9 + +And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. + +** Mark 7:10 + +For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die. + +** Mark 7:11 + +But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban (which is a gift) whatsoever is from me shall profit thee. + +** Mark 7:12 + +And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother, + +** Mark 7:13 + +Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do. + +** Mark 7:14 + +And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all and understand. + +** Mark 7:15 + +There is nothing from without a man that entering into him can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man. + +** Mark 7:16 + +If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. + +** Mark 7:17 + +And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable. + +** Mark 7:18 + +And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? Understand you not that every thing from without entering into a man cannot defile him: + +** Mark 7:19 + +Because it entereth not into his heart but goeth into his belly and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats? + +** Mark 7:20 + +But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man. + +** Mark 7:21 + +For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, + +** Mark 7:22 + +Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. + +** Mark 7:23 + +All these evil things come from within and defile a man. + +** Mark 7:24 + +And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it. And he could not be hid. + +** Mark 7:25 + +For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet. + +** Mark 7:26 + +For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. + +** Mark 7:27 + +Who said to her: suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs. + +** Mark 7:28 + +But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children. + +** Mark 7:29 + +And he said to her: For this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy daughter. + +** Mark 7:30 + +And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed and that the devil was gone out. + +** Mark 7:31 + +And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis. + +** Mark 7:32 + +And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him. + +** Mark 7:33 + +And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue. + +** Mark 7:34 + +And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened. + +** Mark 7:35 + +And immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right. + +** Mark 7:36 + +And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it. + +** Mark 7:37 + +And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well. He hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. + +* Mark 8 + +** Mark 8:1 + +In those days again, when there was great multitude and they had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them: + +** Mark 8:2 + +I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat. + +** Mark 8:3 + +And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way: for some of them came from afar off. + +** Mark 8:4 + +And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness? + +** Mark 8:5 + +And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven. + +** Mark 8:6 + +And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples for to set before them. And they set them before the people. + +** Mark 8:7 + +And they had a few little fishes: and he blessed them and commanded them to be set before them. + +** Mark 8:8 + +And they did eat and were filled: and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets. + +** Mark 8:9 + +And they that had eaten were about four thousand. And he sent them away. + +** Mark 8:10 + +And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha. + +** Mark 8:11 + +And the Pharisees came forth and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him. + +** Mark 8:12 + +And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation. + +** Mark 8:13 + +And leaving them, he went up again into the ship and passed to the other side of the water. + +** Mark 8:14 + +And they forgot to take bread: and they had but one loaf with them in the ship. + +** Mark 8:15 + +And he charged them saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod. + +** Mark 8:16 + +And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread. + +** Mark 8:17 + +Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? Do you not yet know nor understand? Have you still your heart blinded? + +** Mark 8:18 + +Having eyes, see you not? And having ears, hear you not? Neither do you remember? + +** Mark 8:19 + +When I broke the five loves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him: Twelve. + +** Mark 8:20 + +When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him: Seven. + +** Mark 8:21 + +And he said to them: How do you not yet understand? + +** Mark 8:22 + +And they came to Bethsaida: and they bring to him a blind man. And they besought him that he would touch him. + +** Mark 8:23 + +And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town. And spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing. + +** Mark 8:24 + +And looking up, he said: I see men, as it were trees, walking. + +** Mark 8:25 + +After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes: and he began to see and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly. + +** Mark 8:26 + +And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody. + +** Mark 8:27 + +And Jesus went out, and his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am? + +** Mark 8:28 + +Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets. + +** Mark 8:29 + +Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ. + +** Mark 8:30 + +And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him. + +** Mark 8:31 + +And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests and the scribes: and be killed and after three days rise again. + +** Mark 8:32 + +And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him began to rebuke him. + +** Mark 8:33 + +Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savourest not the things that are of God but that are of men. + +** Mark 8:34 + +And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. + +** Mark 8:35 + +For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it. + +** Mark 8:36 + +For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? + +** Mark 8:37 + +Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul: + +** Mark 8:38 + +For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. + +** Mark 8:39 + +And he said to them: Amen f say to you that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God coming in power. + +* Mark 9 + +** Mark 9:1 + +And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them. + +** Mark 9:2 + +And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white. + +** Mark 9:3 + +And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. + +** Mark 9:4 + +And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. + +** Mark 9:5 + +For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear. + +** Mark 9:6 + +And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved Son. Hear ye him. + +** Mark 9:7 + +And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them. + +** Mark 9:8 + +And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead. + +** Mark 9:9 + +And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead. + +** Mark 9:10 + +And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first? + +** Mark 9:11 + +Who answering, said to then: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man that he must suffer many things and be despised. + +** Mark 9:12 + +But I say to you that Elias also is come (and they have done to him whatsoever they would), as it is written of him. + +** Mark 9:13 + +And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes disputing with them. + +** Mark 9:14 + +And presently all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear: and running to him, they saluted him. + +** Mark 9:15 + +And he asked them: What do you question about among you? + +** Mark 9:16 + +And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit. + +** Mark 9:17 + +Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him: and he foameth and gnasheth with the teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not. + +** Mark 9:18 + +Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me. + +** Mark 9:19 + +And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming. + +** Mark 9:20 + +And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he sad: From his infancy. + +** Mark 9:21 + +And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us. + +** Mark 9:22 + +And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. + +** Mark 9:23 + +And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. + +** Mark 9:24 + +And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him and enter not any more into him. + +** Mark 9:25 + +And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went our of him. And he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead. + +** Mark 9:26 + +But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose. + +** Mark 9:27 + +And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out? + +** Mark 9:28 + +And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. + +** Mark 9:29 + +And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not that any man should know it. + +** Mark 9:30 + +And he taught his disciples and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day. + +** Mark 9:31 + +But they understood not the word: and they were afraid to ask him. + +** Mark 9:32 + +And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way? + +** Mark 9:33 + +But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest. + +** Mark 9:34 + +And sitting down, he called the twelve and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all and be minister of all. + +** Mark 9:35 + +And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them: + +** Mark 9:36 + +Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me receiveth not me but him that sent me. + +** Mark 9:37 + +John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us: and we forbade him. + +** Mark 9:38 + +But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name and can soon speak ill of me. + +** Mark 9:39 + +For he that is not against you is for you. + +** Mark 9:40 + +For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. + +** Mark 9:41 + +And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea. + +** Mark 9:42 + +And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: + +** Mark 9:43 + +Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. + +** Mark 9:44 + +And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting than having two feet to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire: + +** Mark 9:45 + +Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. + +** Mark 9:46 + +And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire: + +** Mark 9:47 + +Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. + +** Mark 9:48 + +For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt. + +** Mark 9:49 + +Salt is good. But if the salt become unsavoury, wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you: and have peace among you. + +* Mark 10 + +** Mark 10:1 + +And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coast of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitude flocked to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again. + +** Mark 10:2 + +And the Pharisees coming to him asked him, tempting him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? + +** Mark 10:3 + +But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you? + +** Mark 10:4 + +Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce and to put her away. + +** Mark 10:5 + +To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart, he wrote you that precept. + +** Mark 10:6 + +But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. + +** Mark 10:7 + +For this cause, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife. + +** Mark 10:8 + +And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. + +** Mark 10:9 + +What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. + +** Mark 10:10 + +And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing. + +** Mark 10:11 + +And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another committeth adultery against her. + +** Mark 10:12 + +And if the wife shall put away her husband and be married to another, she committeth adultery. + +** Mark 10:13 + +And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. + +** Mark 10:14 + +Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. + +** Mark 10:15 + +Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it. + +** Mark 10:16 + +And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them. + +** Mark 10:17 + +And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting? + +** Mark 10:18 + +And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God. + +** Mark 10:19 + +Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother. + +** Mark 10:20 + +But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth. + +** Mark 10:21 + +And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me. + +** Mark 10:22 + +Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. + +** Mark 10:23 + +And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! + +** Mark 10:24 + +And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God? + +** Mark 10:25 + +It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. + +** Mark 10:26 + +Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved? + +** Mark 10:27 + +And Jesus looking on them, saith with men it is impossible; but not with God. For all things are possible with God. + +** Mark 10:28 + +And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee. + +** Mark 10:29 + +Jesus answering said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, + +** Mark 10:30 + +Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time: houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting. + +** Mark 10:31 + +But many that are first shall be last: and the last, first. + +** Mark 10:32 + +And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them. And they were astonished and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him. + +** Mark 10:33 + +Saying: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes and ancients. And they shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him to the Gentiles. + +** Mark 10:34 + +And they shall mock him and spit on him and scourge him and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. + +** Mark 10:35 + +And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us. + +** Mark 10:36 + +But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you? + +** Mark 10:37 + +And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. + +** Mark 10:38 + +And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized? + +** Mark 10:39 + +But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of; and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized you shall be baptized. + +** Mark 10:40 + +But to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared. + +** Mark 10:41 + +And the ten, hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and John. + +** Mark 10:42 + +But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them: and their princes have power over them. + +** Mark 10:43 + +But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater shall be your minister. + +** Mark 10:44 + +And whosoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all. + +** Mark 10:45 + +For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto: but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many. + +** Mark 10:46 + +And they came to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a very great multitude, Bartimeus the blind man, the son of Timeus, sat by the way side begging. + +** Mark 10:47 + +Who when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry out and to say: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. + +** Mark 10:48 + +And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried a great deal the more: Son of David, have mercy on me. + +** Mark 10:49 + +And Jesus, standing still, commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort. Arise, he calleth thee. + +** Mark 10:50 + +Who casting off his garment leaped up and came to him. + +** Mark 10:51 + +And Jesus answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni. That I may see. + +** Mark 10:52 + +And Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw and followed him in the way. + +* Mark 11 + +** Mark 11:1 + +And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples, + +** Mark 11:2 + +And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him. + +** Mark 11:3 + +And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither. + +** Mark 11:4 + +And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him. + +** Mark 11:5 + +And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt? + +** Mark 11:6 + +Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them. + +** Mark 11:7 + +And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him. + +** Mark 11:8 + +And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way. + +** Mark 11:9 + +And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. + +** Mark 11:10 + +Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest. + +** Mark 11:11 + +And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve. + +** Mark 11:12 + +And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry. + +** Mark 11:13 + +And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs. + +** Mark 11:14 + +And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever! And his disciples heard it. + +** Mark 11:15 + +And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves. + +** Mark 11:16 + +And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple. + +** Mark 11:17 + +And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written: My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves. + +** Mark 11:18 + +Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine. + +** Mark 11:19 + +And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city. + +** Mark 11:20 + +And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. + +** Mark 11:21 + +And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away. + +** Mark 11:22 + +And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God. + +** Mark 11:23 + +Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but be believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him. + +** Mark 11:24 + +Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you. + +** Mark 11:25 + +And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins. + +** Mark 11:26 + +But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in heaven forgive you your sins. + +** Mark 11:27 + +And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients. + +** Mark 11:28 + +And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things? + +** Mark 11:29 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word. And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. + +** Mark 11:30 + +The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me. + +** Mark 11:31 + +But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? + +** Mark 11:32 + +If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed. + +** Mark 11:33 + +And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. + +* Mark 12 + +** Mark 12:1 + +And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it and dug a place for the winefat and built a tower and let it to husbandmen: and went into a far country. + +** Mark 12:2 + +And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. + +** Mark 12:3 + +Who, having laid hands on him, beat and sent him away empty. + +** Mark 12:4 + +And again he sent to them another servant: and him they wounded in the head and used him reproachfully. + +** Mark 12:5 + +And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed. + +** Mark 12:6 + +Therefore, having yet one son, most dear to him, he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son. + +** Mark 12:7 + +But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir. Come let us kill him and the inheritance shall be ours. + +** Mark 12:8 + +And laying hold on him, they killed him and cast him out of the vineyard. + +** Mark 12:9 + +What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. + +** Mark 12:10 + +And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: + +** Mark 12:11 + +By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes. + +** Mark 12:12 + +And they sought to lay hands on him: but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way. + +** Mark 12:13 + +And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians: that they should catch him in his words. + +** Mark 12:14 + +Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and carest not for any 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 shall we not give it? + +** Mark 12:15 + +Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? Bring me a penny that I may see it. + +** Mark 12:16 + +And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's. + +** Mark 12:17 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. + +** Mark 12:18 + +And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection. And they asked him, saying: + +** Mark 12:19 + +Master, Moses wrote unto us that if any man's brother die and leave his wife behind him and leave no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up seed to his brother. + +** Mark 12:20 + +Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died leaving no issue. + +** Mark 12:21 + +And the second took her and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner. + +** Mark 12:22 + +And the seven all took her in like manner and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died. + +** Mark 12:23 + +In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? For the seven had her to wife. + +** Mark 12:24 + +And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures nor the power of God? + +** Mark 12:25 + +For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven. + +** Mark 12:26 + +And as concerning the dead that they rise again have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? + +** Mark 12:27 + +He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err. + +** Mark 12:28 + +And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all. + +** Mark 12:29 + +And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God. + +** Mark 12:30 + +And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment. + +** Mark 12:31 + +And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. + +** Mark 12:32 + +And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth that there is one God and there is no other besides him. + +** Mark 12:33 + +And that he should be loved with the whole heart and with the whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength. And to love one's neighbour as one's self is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices. + +** Mark 12:34 + +And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. + +** Mark 12:35 + +And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David? + +** Mark 12:36 + +For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool. + +** Mark 12:37 + +David therefore himself calleth him Lord. And whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly. + +** Mark 12:38 + +And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace, + +** Mark 12:39 + +And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the highest places at suppers: + +** Mark 12:40 + +Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer. These shall receive greater judgment. + +** Mark 12:41 + +And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in much. + +** Mark 12:42 + +And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing. + +** Mark 12:43 + +And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury. + +** Mark 12:44 + +For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living. + +* Mark 13 + +** Mark 13:1 + +And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here. + +** Mark 13:2 + +And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down. + +** Mark 13:3 + +And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart: + +** Mark 13:4 + +Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled? + +** Mark 13:5 + +And Jesus answering, began to say to them: Take heed lest any man deceive you. + +** Mark 13:6 + +For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many. + +** Mark 13:7 + +And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be: but the end is not yet. + +** Mark 13:8 + +For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows. + +** Mark 13:9 + +But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you Up to councils: and in the synagogues you shall be beaten: and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them. + +** Mark 13:10 + +And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached. + +** Mark 13:11 + +And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost. + +** Mark 13:12 + +And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against their parents and shall work their death. + +** Mark 13:13 + +And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved. + +** Mark 13:14 + +And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains. + +** Mark 13:15 + +And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house. + +** Mark 13:16 + +And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up his garment. + +** Mark 13:17 + +And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days. + +** Mark 13:18 + +But pray ye that these things happen not in winter. + +** Mark 13:19 + +For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now: neither shall be. + +** Mark 13:20 + +And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but, for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. + +** Mark 13:21 + +And then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ. Lo, he is here: do not believe. + +** Mark 13:22 + +For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets: and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect. + +** Mark 13:23 + +Take you heed therefore: behold, I have foretold you all things. + +** Mark 13:24 + +But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light. + +** Mark 13:25 + +And the stars of heaven shall be falling down and the powers that are in heaven shall be moved. + +** Mark 13:26 + +And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory. + +** Mark 13:27 + +And then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. + +** Mark 13:28 + +Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near. + +** Mark 13:29 + +So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors. + +** Mark 13:30 + +Amen, I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all these things be done. + +** Mark 13:31 + +Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass away. + +** Mark 13:32 + +But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. + +** Mark 13:33 + +Take ye heed, watch and pray. For ye know not when the time is. + +** Mark 13:34 + +Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter to watch. + +** Mark 13:35 + +Watch ye therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning): + +** Mark 13:36 + +Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping. + +** Mark 13:37 + +And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch. + +* Mark 14 + +** Mark 14:1 + +Now the feast of the pasch and of the Azymes was after two days: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might by some wile lay hold on him and kill him. + +** Mark 14:2 + +But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a tumult among the people. + +** Mark 14:3 + +And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard. And breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out upon his head. + +** Mark 14:4 + +Now there were some that had indignation within themselves and said: Why was this waste of the ointment made? + +** Mark 14:5 + +For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred pence and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. + +** Mark 14:6 + +But Jesus said: Let her alone. Why do You molest her? She hath wrought a good work upon me. + +** Mark 14:7 + +For the poor you have always with you: and whensoever you will, you may do them good: but me you have not always. + +** Mark 14:8 + +She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for the burial. + +** Mark 14:9 + +Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a memorial of her. + +** Mark 14:10 + +And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them. + +** Mark 14:11 + +Who hearing it were glad: and they promised him they would give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. + +** Mark 14:12 + +Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that we go and prepare for thee to eat the pasch? + +** Mark 14:13 + +And he sendeth two of his disciples and saith to them: Go ye into the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him. + +** Mark 14:14 + +And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? + +** Mark 14:15 + +And he will shew you a large dining room furnished. And there prepare ye for us. + +** Mark 14:16 + +And his disciples went their way and came into the city. And they found as he had told them: and they prepared the pasch. + +** Mark 14:17 + +And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve. + +** Mark 14:18 + +And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me. + +** Mark 14:19 + +But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one by one: Is it I? + +** Mark 14:20 + +Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his hand in the dish. + +** Mark 14:21 + +And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born. + +** Mark 14:22 + +And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke and gave to them and said: Take ye. This is my body. + +** Mark 14:23 + +And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it. + +** Mark 14:24 + +And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many. + +** Mark 14:25 + +Amen I say to you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. + +** Mark 14:26 + +And when they had sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of Olives. + +** Mark 14:27 + +And Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in my regard this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed. + +** Mark 14:28 + +But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. + +** Mark 14:29 + +But Peter saith to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, yet not I. + +** Mark 14:30 + +And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, to-day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. + +** Mark 14:31 + +But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all. + +** Mark 14:32 + +And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray. + +** Mark 14:33 + +And he taketh Peter and James and John with him: and he began to fear and to be heavy. + +** Mark 14:34 + +And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch. + +** Mark 14:35 + +And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground: and he prayed that, if it might be, the hour might pass from him. + +** Mark 14:36 + +And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt. + +** Mark 14:37 + +And he cometh and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst thou not watch one hour? + +** Mark 14:38 + +Watch ye: and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. + +** Mark 14:39 + +And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words. + +** Mark 14:40 + +And when he returned, he found them again asleep (for their eyes were heavy): and they knew not what to answer him. + +** Mark 14:41 + +And he cometh the third time and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. It is enough. The hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. + +** Mark 14:42 + +Rise up: let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand. + +** Mark 14:43 + +And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients. + +** Mark 14:44 + +And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Lay hold on him: and lead him away carefully. + +** Mark 14:45 + +And when he was come, immediately going up to him he saith: Hail, Rabbi! And he kissed him. + +** Mark 14:46 + +But they laid hands on him and held him. + +** Mark 14:47 + +And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest and cut off his ear. + +** Mark 14:48 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me? + +** Mark 14:49 + +I was daily with you in the temple teaching: and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled. + +** Mark 14:50 + +Then his disciples, leaving him, all fled away. + +** Mark 14:51 + +And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body. And they laid hold on him. + +** Mark 14:52 + +But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked. + +** Mark 14:53 + +And they brought Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together. + +** Mark 14:54 + +And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself. + +** Mark 14:55 + +And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and found none. + +** Mark 14:56 + +For many bore false witness against him: and their evidences were not agreeing. + +** Mark 14:57 + +And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying: + +** Mark 14:58 + +We heard him say, I Will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands. + +** Mark 14:59 + +And their witness did not agree. + +** Mark 14:60 + +And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men? + +** Mark 14:61 + +But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God? + +** Mark 14:62 + +And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming with the clouds of heaven. + +** Mark 14:63 + +Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses? + +** Mark 14:64 + +You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death. + +** Mark 14:65 + +And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to buffet him and to say unto him: Prophesy. And the servants struck him with the palms their hands. + +** Mark 14:66 + +Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest. + +** Mark 14:67 + +And when she had seen Peter warming himself looking on him, she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. + +** Mark 14:68 + +But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew. + +** Mark 14:69 + +And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them. + +** Mark 14:70 + +But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean. + +** Mark 14:71 + +But he began o curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak. + +** Mark 14:72 + +And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep, + +* Mark 15 + +** Mark 15:1 + +And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away and delivered him to Pilate. + +** Mark 15:2 + +And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it. + +** Mark 15:3 + +And the chief priests accused him in many things. + +** Mark 15:4 + +And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? Behold in how many things they accuse thee. + +** Mark 15:5 + +But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered. + +** Mark 15:6 + +Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. + +** Mark 15:7 + +And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder. + +** Mark 15:8 + +And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them. + +** Mark 15:9 + +And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews? + +** Mark 15:10 + +For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy. + +** Mark 15:11 + +But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. + +** Mark 15:12 + +And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews? + +** Mark 15:13 + +But they again cried out: Crucify him. + +** Mark 15:14 + +And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him. + +** Mark 15:15 + +And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. + +** Mark 15:16 + +And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and they called together the whole band. + +** Mark 15:17 + +And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him. + +** Mark 15:18 + +And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews. + +** Mark 15:19 + +And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him. + +** Mark 15:20 + +And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him and put his own garments on him: and they led him out to crucify him. + +** Mark 15:21 + +And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross. + +** Mark 15:22 + +And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary. + +** Mark 15:23 + +And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh.

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. + +** Matthew 6:29 + +But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. + +** Matthew 6:30 + +And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith? + +** Matthew 6:31 + +Be not solicitous therefore, saying: What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? + +** Matthew 6:32 + +For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. + +** Matthew 6:33 + +Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you. + +** Matthew 6:34 + +Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. + +* Matthew 7 + +** Matthew 7:1 + +Judge not, that you may not be judged. + +** Matthew 7:2 + +For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. + +** Matthew 7:3 + +And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? + +** Matthew 7:4 + +Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? + +** Matthew 7:5 + +Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. + +** Matthew 7:6 + +Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you. + +** Matthew 7:7 + +Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. + +** Matthew 7:8 + +For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. + +** Matthew 7:9 + +Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? + +** Matthew 7:10 + +Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent? + +** Matthew 7:11 + +If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him? + +** Matthew 7:12 + +All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. + +** Matthew 7:13 + +Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. + +** Matthew 7:14 + +How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it! + +** Matthew 7:15 + +Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. + +** Matthew 7:16 + +By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? + +** Matthew 7:17 + +Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. + +** Matthew 7:18 + +A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. + +** Matthew 7:19 + +Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. + +** Matthew 7:20 + +Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. + +** Matthew 7:21 + +Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. + +** Matthew 7:22 + +Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? + +** Matthew 7:23 + +And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. + +** Matthew 7:24 + +Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, + +** Matthew 7:25 + +And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. + +** Matthew 7:26 + +And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, + +** Matthew 7:27 + +And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. + +** Matthew 7:28 + +And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. + +** Matthew 7:29 + +For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees. + +* Matthew 8 + +** Matthew 8:1 + +And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him: + +** Matthew 8:2 + +And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. + +** Matthew 8:3 + +And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed. + +** Matthew 8:4 + +And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. + +** Matthew 8:5 + +And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him, + +** Matthew 8:6 + +And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grievously tormented. + +** Matthew 8:7 + +And Jesus saith to him: I will come and heal him. + +** Matthew 8:8 + +And the centurion, making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. + +** Matthew 8:9 + +For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. + +** Matthew 8:10 + +And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him. Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel. + +** Matthew 8:11 + +And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven: + +** Matthew 8:12 + +But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +** Matthew 8:13 + +And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed at the same hour. + +** Matthew 8:14 + +And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying, and sick of a fever; + +** Matthew 8:15 + +And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them. + +** Matthew 8:16 + +And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed: + +** Matthew 8:17 + +That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases. + +** Matthew 8:18 + +And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water. + +** Matthew 8:19 + +And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go. + +** Matthew 8:20 + +And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. + +** Matthew 8:21 + +And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. + +** Matthew 8:22 + +But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead. + +** Matthew 8:23 + +And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him: + +** Matthew 8:24 + +And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. + +** Matthew 8:25 + +And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish. + +** Matthew 8:26 + +And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm. + +** Matthew 8:27 + +But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him? + +** Matthew 8:28 + +And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way. + +** Matthew 8:29 + +And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? + +** Matthew 8:30 + +And there was, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding. + +** Matthew 8:31 + +And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence, send us into the herd of swine. + +** Matthew 8:32 + +And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters. + +** Matthew 8:33 + +And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils. + +** Matthew 8:34 + +And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coast. + +* Matthew 9 + +** Matthew 9:1 + +And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city. + +** Matthew 9:2 + +And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee. + +** Matthew 9:3 + +And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth. + +** Matthew 9:4 + +And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts? + +** Matthew 9:5 + +Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk? + +** Matthew 9:6 + +But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. + +** Matthew 9:7 + +And he arose, and went into his house. + +** Matthew 9:8 + +And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men. + +** Matthew 9:9 + +And when Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he arose up and followed him. + +** Matthew 9:10 + +And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. + +** Matthew 9:11 + +And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners? + +** Matthew 9:12 + +But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill. + +** Matthew 9:13 + +Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners. + +** Matthew 9:14 + +Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees, fast often, but thy disciples do not fast? + +** Matthew 9:15 + +And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast. + +** Matthew 9:16 + +And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fulness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent. + +** Matthew 9:17 + +Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved. + +** Matthew 9:18 + +As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. + +** Matthew 9:19 + +And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples. + +** Matthew 9:20 + +And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. + +** Matthew 9:21 + +For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed. + +** Matthew 9:22 + +But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. + +** Matthew 9:23 + +And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout, + +** Matthew 9:24 + +He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. + +** Matthew 9:25 + +And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose. + +** Matthew 9:26 + +And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country. + +** Matthew 9:27 + +And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David. + +** Matthew 9:28 + +And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord. + +** Matthew 9:29 + +Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you. + +** Matthew 9:30 + +And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this. + +** Matthew 9:31 + +But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country. + +** Matthew 9:32 + +And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil. + +** Matthew 9:33 + +And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel. + +** Matthew 9:34 + +But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils. + +** Matthew 9:35 + +And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity. + +** Matthew 9:36 + +And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd. + +** Matthew 9:37 + +Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. + +** Matthew 9:38 + +Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. + +* Matthew 10 + +** Matthew 10:1 + +And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities. + +** Matthew 10:2 + +And the names of the twelve Apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, + +** Matthew 10:3 + +James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, + +** Matthew 10:4 + +Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. + +** Matthew 10:5 + +These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not. + +** Matthew 10:6 + +But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. + +** Matthew 10:7 + +And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. + +** Matthew 10:8 + +Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give. + +** Matthew 10:9 + +Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses: + +** Matthew 10:10 + +Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat. + +** Matthew 10:11 + +And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence. + +** Matthew 10:12 + +And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house. + +** Matthew 10:13 + +And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you. + +** Matthew 10:14 + +And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet. + +** Matthew 10:15 + +Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. + +** Matthew 10:16 + +Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. + +** Matthew 10:17 + +But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. + +** Matthew 10:18 + +And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles: + +** Matthew 10:19 + +But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak: + +** Matthew 10:20 + +For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. + +** Matthew 10:21 + +The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death. + +** Matthew 10:22 + +And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. + +** Matthew 10:23 + +And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come. + +** Matthew 10:24 + +The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord. + +** Matthew 10:25 + +It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? + +** Matthew 10:26 + +Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known. + +** Matthew 10:27 + +That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops. + +** Matthew 10:28 + +And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. + +** Matthew 10:29 + +Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. + +** Matthew 10:30 + +But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. + +** Matthew 10:31 + +Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows. + +** Matthew 10:32 + +Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. + +** Matthew 10:33 + +But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. + +** Matthew 10:34 + +Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. + +** Matthew 10:35 + +For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. + +** Matthew 10:36 + +And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household. + +** Matthew 10:37 + +He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. + +** Matthew 10:38 + +And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. + +** Matthew 10:39 + +He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. + +** Matthew 10:40 + +He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. + +** Matthew 10:41 + +He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. + +** Matthew 10:42 + +And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you he shall not lose his reward. + +* Matthew 11 + +** Matthew 11:1 + +And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and to preach in their cities. + +** Matthew 11:2 + +Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him: + +** Matthew 11:3 + +Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another? + +** Matthew 11:4 + +And Jesus making answer said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen. + +** Matthew 11:5 + +The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them. + +** Matthew 11:6 + +And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me. + +** Matthew 11:7 + +And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind? + +** Matthew 11:8 + +But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings. + +** Matthew 11:9 + +But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea I tell you, and more than a prophet. + +** Matthew 11:10 + +For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before my face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. + +** Matthew 11:11 + +Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. + +** Matthew 11:12 + +And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away. + +** Matthew 11:13 + +For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John: + +** Matthew 11:14 + +And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come. + +** Matthew 11:15 + +He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +** Matthew 11:16 + +But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place. + +** Matthew 11:17 + +Who crying to their companions say: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have lamented, and you have not mourned. + +** Matthew 11:18 + +For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil. + +** Matthew 11:19 + +The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children. + +** Matthew 11:20 + +Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance. + +** Matthew 11:21 + +Woe thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes. + +** Matthew 11:22 + +But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. + +** Matthew 11:23 + +And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. + +** Matthew 11:24 + +But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee. + +** Matthew 11:25 + +At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. + +** Matthew 11:26 + +Yea, Father: for so hath it seemed good in thy sight. + +** Matthew 11:27 + +All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him. + +** Matthew 11:28 + +Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you. + +** Matthew 11:29 + +Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: And you shall find rest to your souls. + +** Matthew 11:30 + +For my yoke is sweet and my burden light. + +* Matthew 12 + +** Matthew 12:1 + +At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat. + +** Matthew 12:2 + +And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days. + +** Matthew 12:3 + +But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him: + +** Matthew 12:4 + +How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only? + +** Matthew 12:5 + +Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame? + +** Matthew 12:6 + +But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple. + +** Matthew 12:7 + +And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent. + +** Matthew 12:8 + +For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath. + +** Matthew 12:9 + +And when he had passed from thence, he came into their synagogues. + +** Matthew 12:10 + +And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. + +** Matthew 12:11 + +But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up? + +** Matthew 12:12 + +How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days. + +** Matthew 12:13 + +Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other. + +** Matthew 12:14 + +And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him. + +** Matthew 12:15 + +But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all. + +** Matthew 12:16 + +And he charged them that they should not make him known. + +** Matthew 12:17 + +That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying: + +** Matthew 12:18 + +Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. + +** Matthew 12:19 + +He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. + +** Matthew 12:20 + +The bruised reed he shall not break: and smoking flax he shall not extinguish: till he send forth judgment unto victory. + +** Matthew 12:21 + +And in his name the Gentiles shall hope. + +** Matthew 12:22 + +Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw. + +** Matthew 12:23 + +And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David? + +** Matthew 12:24 + +But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casteth not out devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. + +** Matthew 12:25 + +And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. + +** Matthew 12:26 + +And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand? + +** Matthew 12:27 + +And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. + +** Matthew 12:28 + +But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. + +** Matthew 12:29 + +Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house. + +** Matthew 12:30 + +He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. + +** Matthew 12:31 + +Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven. + +** Matthew 12:32 + +And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him neither in this world, nor in the world to come. + +** Matthew 12:33 + +Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known. + +** Matthew 12:34 + +O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. + +** Matthew 12:35 + +A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. + +** Matthew 12:36 + +But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment. + +** Matthew 12:37 + +For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. + +** Matthew 12:38 + +Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master, we would see a sign from thee. + +** Matthew 12:39 + +Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. + +** Matthew 12:40 + +For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. + +** Matthew 12:41 + +The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here. + +** Matthew 12:42 + +The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here. + +** Matthew 12:43 + +And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none. + +** Matthew 12:44 + +Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. + +** Matthew 12:45 + +Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation. + +** Matthew 12:46 + +As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. + +** Matthew 12:47 + +And one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee. + +** Matthew 12:48 + +But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? + +** Matthew 12:49 + +And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren. + +** Matthew 12:50 + +For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. + +* Matthew 13 + +** Matthew 13:1 + +The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side. + +** Matthew 13:2 + +And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore. + +** Matthew 13:3 + +And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow. + +** Matthew 13:4 + +And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up. + +** Matthew 13:5 + +And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth. + +** Matthew 13:6 + +And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away. + +** Matthew 13:7 + +And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them. + +** Matthew 13:8 + +And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, and some thirty fold. + +** Matthew 13:9 + +He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +** Matthew 13:10 + +And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables? + +** Matthew 13:11 + +Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given. + +** Matthew 13:12 + +For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath. + +** Matthew 13:13 + +Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. + +** Matthew 13:14 + +And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive. + +** Matthew 13:15 + +For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. + +** Matthew 13:16 + +But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. + +** Matthew 13:17 + +For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them: and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them. + +** Matthew 13:18 + +Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. + +** Matthew 13:19 + +When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. + +** Matthew 13:20 + +And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy. + +** Matthew 13:21 + +Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized. + +** Matthew 13:22 + +And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. + +** Matthew 13:23 + +But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty. + +** Matthew 13:24 + +Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. + +** Matthew 13:25 + +But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way. + +** Matthew 13:26 + +And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. + +** Matthew 13:27 + +And the servants of the good man of the house coming said to him. Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it cockle? + +** Matthew 13:28 + +And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? + +** Matthew 13:29 + +And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. + +** Matthew 13:30 + +Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn. + +** Matthew 13:31 + +Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. + +** Matthew 13:32 + +Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. + +** Matthew 13:33 + +Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. + +** Matthew 13:34 + +All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them. + +** Matthew 13:35 + +That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. + +** Matthew 13:36 + +Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field. + +** Matthew 13:37 + +Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. + +** Matthew 13:38 + +And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle are the children of the wicked one. + +** Matthew 13:39 + +And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. + +** Matthew 13:40 + +Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. + +** Matthew 13:41 + +The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity. + +** Matthew 13:42 + +And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +** Matthew 13:43 + +Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +** Matthew 13:44 + +The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. + +** Matthew 13:45 + +Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. + +** Matthew 13:46 + +Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. + +** Matthew 13:47 + +Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kinds of fishes. + +** Matthew 13:48 + +Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. + +** Matthew 13:49 + +So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. + +** Matthew 13:50 + +And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +** Matthew 13:51 + +Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes. + +** Matthew 13:52 + +He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. + +** Matthew 13:53 + +And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence. + +** Matthew 13:54 + +And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? + +** Matthew 13:55 + +Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude: + +** Matthew 13:56 + +And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things? + +** Matthew 13:57 + +And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. + +** Matthew 13:58 + +And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief. + +* Matthew 14 + +** Matthew 14:1 + +At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus. + +** Matthew 14:2 + +And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. + +** Matthew 14:3 + +For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother's wife. + +** Matthew 14:4 + +For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her. + +** Matthew 14:5 + +And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet. + +** Matthew 14:6 + +But on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod. + +** Matthew 14:7 + +Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him. + +** Matthew 14:8 + +But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist. + +** Matthew 14:9 + +And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given. + +** Matthew 14:10 + +And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. + +** Matthew 14:11 + +And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother. + +** Matthew 14:12 + +And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus. + +** Matthew 14:13 + +Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities. + +** Matthew 14:14 + +And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick. + +** Matthew 14:15 + +And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now passed: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals. + +** Matthew 14:16 + +But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat. + +** Matthew 14:17 + +They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes. + +** Matthew 14:18 + +Who said to them: Bring them hither to me. + +** Matthew 14:19 + +And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. + +** Matthew 14:20 + +And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments. + +** Matthew 14:21 + +And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children. + +** Matthew 14:22 + +And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people. + +** Matthew 14:23 + +And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone. + +** Matthew 14:24 + +But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary. + +** Matthew 14:25 + +And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea. + +** Matthew 14:26 + +And they seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear. + +** Matthew 14:27 + +And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not. + +** Matthew 14:28 + +And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters. + +** Matthew 14:29 + +And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat walked upon the water to come to Jesus. + +** Matthew 14:30 + +But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me. + +** Matthew 14:31 + +And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? + +** Matthew 14:32 + +And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased. + +** Matthew 14:33 + +And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God. + +** Matthew 14:34 + +And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar. + +** Matthew 14:35 + +And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased. + +** Matthew 14:36 + +And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole. + +* Matthew 15 + +** Matthew 15:1 + +Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying: + +** Matthew 15:2 + +Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. + +** Matthew 15:3 + +But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said: + +** Matthew 15:4 + +Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death. + +** Matthew 15:5 + +But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee. + +** Matthew 15:6 + +And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition. + +** Matthew 15:7 + +Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying: + +** Matthew 15:8 + +This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me. + +** Matthew 15:9 + +And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men. + +** Matthew 15:10 + +And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand. + +** Matthew 15:11 + +Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. + +** Matthew 15:12 + +Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? + +** Matthew 15:13 + +But he answering, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. + +** Matthew 15:14 + +Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both fall into the pit. + +** Matthew 15:15 + +And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable. + +** Matthew 15:16 + +But he said: Are you also yet without understanding? + +** Matthew 15:17 + +Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy? + +** Matthew 15:18 + +But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man. + +** Matthew 15:19 + +For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies. + +** Matthew 15:20 + +These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man. + +** Matthew 15:21 + +And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coast of Tyre and Sidon. + +** Matthew 15:22 + +And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil. + +** Matthew 15:23 + +Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us: + +** Matthew 15:24 + +And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel. + +** Matthew 15:25 + +But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me. + +** Matthew 15:26 + +Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs. + +** Matthew 15:27 + +But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. + +** Matthew 15:28 + +Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour. + +** Matthew 15:29 + +And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee: and going up into a mountain, he sat there. + +** Matthew 15:30 + +And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them: + +** Matthew 15:31 + +So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel. + +** Matthew 15:32 + +And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. + +** Matthew 15:33 + +And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude? + +** Matthew 15:34 + +And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes. + +** Matthew 15:35 + +And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground. + +** Matthew 15:36 + +And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people. + +** Matthew 15:37 + +And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments. + +** Matthew 15:38 + +And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women. + +** Matthew 15:39 + +And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan. + +* Matthew 16 + +** Matthew 16:1 + +And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. + +** Matthew 16:2 + +But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. + +** Matthew 16:3 + +And in the morning: To day there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times? + +** Matthew 16:4 + +A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away. + +** Matthew 16:5 + +And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread. + +** Matthew 16:6 + +Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. + +** Matthew 16:7 + +But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread. + +** Matthew 16:8 + +And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread? + +** Matthew 16:9 + +Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? + +** Matthew 16:10 + +Nor the seven loaves, among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? + +** Matthew 16:11 + +Why do you not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? + +** Matthew 16:12 + +Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. + +** Matthew 16:13 + +And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? + +** Matthew 16:14 + +But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. + +** Matthew 16:15 + +Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? + +** Matthew 16:16 + +Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. + +** Matthew 16:17 + +And Jesus answering said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. + +** Matthew 16:18 + +And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. + +** Matthew 16:19 + +And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. + +** Matthew 16:20 + +Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ. + +** Matthew 16:21 + +From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. + +** Matthew 16:22 + +And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be it far from thee, this shall not be unto thee. + +** Matthew 16:23 + +Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. + +** Matthew 16:24 + +Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. + +** Matthew 16:25 + +For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. + +** Matthew 16:26 + +For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul? + +** Matthew 16:27 + +For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works. + +** Matthew 16:28 + +Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. + +* Matthew 17 + +** Matthew 17:1 + +And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: + +** Matthew 17:2 + +And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. + +** Matthew 17:3 + +And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him. + +** Matthew 17:4 + +And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. + +** Matthew 17:5 + +And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him. + +** Matthew 17:6 + +And the disciples hearing fell upon their face, and were very much afraid. + +** Matthew 17:7 + +And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them: Arise, and fear not. + +** Matthew 17:8 + +And they lifting up their eyes, saw no one, but only Jesus. + +** Matthew 17:9 + +And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead. + +** Matthew 17:10 + +And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first? + +** Matthew 17:11 + +But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things. + +** Matthew 17:12 + +But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, But have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them. + +** Matthew 17:13 + +Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist. + +** Matthew 17:14 + +And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water. + +** Matthew 17:15 + +And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. + +** Matthew 17:16 + +Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me. + +** Matthew 17:17 + +And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour. + +** Matthew 17:18 + +Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out? + +** Matthew 17:19 + +Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain: Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible to you. + +** Matthew 17:20 + +But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting. + +** Matthew 17:21 + +And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: + +** Matthew 17:22 + +And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly. + +** Matthew 17:23 + +And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter, and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachma? + +** Matthew 17:24 + +He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom, of their own children, or of strangers? + +** Matthew 17:25 + +And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free. + +** Matthew 17:26 + +But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened it's mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee. + +* Matthew 18 + +** Matthew 18:1 + +At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? + +** Matthew 18:2 + +And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them. + +** Matthew 18:3 + +And said: amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. + +** Matthew 18:4 + +Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. + +** Matthew 18:5 + +And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. + +** Matthew 18:6 + +But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. + +** Matthew 18:7 + +Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. + +** Matthew 18:8 + +And if thy hand, or thy foot, scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. + +** Matthew 18:9 + +And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. + +** Matthew 18:10 + +See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. + +** Matthew 18:11 + +For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. + +** Matthew 18:12 + +What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray? + +** Matthew 18:13 + +And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. + +** Matthew 18:14 + +Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. + +** Matthew 18:15 + +But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother. + +** Matthew 18:16 + +And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. + +** Matthew 18:17 + +And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican. + +** Matthew 18:18 + +Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven. + +** Matthew 18:19 + +Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven. + +** Matthew 18:20 + +For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. + +** Matthew 18:21 + +Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? + +** Matthew 18:22 + +Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times. + +** Matthew 18:23 + +Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants. + +** Matthew 18:24 + +And when he had begun to take the account, one as brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents. + +** Matthew 18:25 + +And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. + +** Matthew 18:26 + +But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. + +** Matthew 18:27 + +And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt. + +** Matthew 18:28 + +But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest. + +** Matthew 18:29 + +And his fellow-servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. + +** Matthew 18:30 + +And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt. + +** Matthew 18:31 + +Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came, and told their lord all that was done. + +** Matthew 18:32 + +Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me: + +** Matthew 18:33 + +Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee? + +** Matthew 18:34 + +And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt. + +** Matthew 18:35 + +So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. + +* Matthew 19 + +** Matthew 19:1 + +And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan. + +** Matthew 19:2 + +And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there. + +** Matthew 19:3 + +And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? + +** Matthew 19:4 + +Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said: + +** Matthew 19:5 + +For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. + +** Matthew 19:6 + +Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. + +** Matthew 19:7 + +They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? + +** Matthew 19:8 + +He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. + +** Matthew 19:9 + +And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. + +** Matthew 19:10 + +His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry. + +** Matthew 19:11 + +Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. + +** Matthew 19:12 + +For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mothers womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it. + +** Matthew 19:13 + +Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. + +** Matthew 19:14 + +But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such. + +** Matthew 19:15 + +And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence. + +** Matthew 19:16 + +And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting? + +** Matthew 19:17 + +Who said to him: Why askest thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. + +** Matthew 19:18 + +He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness. + +** Matthew 19:19 + +Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. + +** Matthew 19:20 + +The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me? + +** Matthew 19:21 + +Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. + +** Matthew 19:22 + +And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions. + +** Matthew 19:23 + +Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. + +** Matthew 19:24 + +And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. + +** Matthew 19:25 + +And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered much, saying: Who then can be saved? + +** Matthew 19:26 + +And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible. + +** Matthew 19:27 + +Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have? + +** Matthew 19:28 + +And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. + +** Matthew 19:29 + +And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. + +** Matthew 19:30 + +And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first. + +* Matthew 20 + +** Matthew 20:1 + +The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. + +** Matthew 20:2 + +And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. + +** Matthew 20:3 + +And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle. + +** Matthew 20:4 + +And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just. + +** Matthew 20:5 + +And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner. + +** Matthew 20:6 + +But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle? + +** Matthew 20:7 + +They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into my vineyard. + +** Matthew 20:8 + +And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first. + +** Matthew 20:9 + +When therefore they were come that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. + +** Matthew 20:10 + +But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: And they also received every man a penny. + +** Matthew 20:11 + +And receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, + +** Matthew 20:12 + +Saying: These last have worked but one hour. and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats. + +** Matthew 20:13 + +But he answering said to one of them: friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? + +** Matthew 20:14 + +Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee. + +** Matthew 20:15 + +Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Is thy eye evil, because I am good? + +** Matthew 20:16 + +So shall the last be first and the first last. For many are called but few chosen. + +** Matthew 20:17 + +And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart and said to them: + +** Matthew 20:18 + +Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death. + +** Matthew 20:19 + +And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified: and the third day he shall rise again. + +** Matthew 20:20 + +Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him. + +** Matthew 20:21 + +Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. + +** Matthew 20:22 + +And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can. + +** Matthew 20:23 + +He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father. + +** Matthew 20:24 + +And the ten, hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren. + +** Matthew 20:25 + +But Jesus called them to him and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and that they that are the greater, exercise power upon them. + +** Matthew 20:26 + +It shall not be so among you: but whosoever is the greater among you, let him be your minister. + +** Matthew 20:27 + +And he that will be first among you shall be your servant. + +** Matthew 20:28 + +Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many. + +** Matthew 20:29 + +And when they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. + +** Matthew 20:30 + +And behold two blind men sitting by the way side heard that Jesus passed by. And they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. + +** Matthew 20:31 + +And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. + +** Matthew 20:32 + +And Jesus stood and called them and said: What will ye that I do to you? + +** Matthew 20:33 + +They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened. + +** Matthew 20:34 + +And Jesus having compassion on them, touched their eyes. And immediately they saw and followed him. + +* Matthew 21 + +** Matthew 21:1 + +And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples, + +** Matthew 21:2 + +Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you: and immediately you shall find an ass tied and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me. + +** Matthew 21:3 + +And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them. And forthwith he will let them go. + +** Matthew 21:4 + +Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: + +** Matthew 21:5 + +Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke. + +** Matthew 21:6 + +And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them. + +** Matthew 21:7 + +And they brought the ass and the colt and laid their garments upon them and made him sit thereon. + +** Matthew 21:8 + +And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way. + +** Matthew 21:9 + +And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. + +** Matthew 21:10 + +And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this? + +** Matthew 21:11 + +And the people said: This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee. + +** Matthew 21:12 + +And Jesus went into the temple of God and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the chairs of them that sold doves. + +** Matthew 21:13 + +And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves. + +** Matthew 21:14 + +And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple: and he healed them. + +** Matthew 21:15 + +And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the temple and saying: Hosanna to the son of David, were moved with indignation, + +** Matthew 21:16 + +And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise? + +** Matthew 21:17 + +And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania and remained here. + +** Matthew 21:18 + +And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry. + +** Matthew 21:19 + +And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. + +** Matthew 21:20 + +And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away? + +** Matthew 21:21 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done. + +** Matthew 21:22 + +And all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer believing, you shall receive. + +** Matthew 21:23 + +And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority? + +** Matthew 21:24 + +Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. + +** Matthew 21:25 + +The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying: + +** Matthew 21:26 + +If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet. + +** Matthew 21:27 + +And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. + +** Matthew 21:28 + +But what think you? A certain man had two sons: and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard. + +** Matthew 21:29 + +And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went. + +** Matthew 21:30 + +And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering said: I go, Sir. And he went not. + +** Matthew 21:31 + +Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you. + +** Matthew 21:32 + +For John came to you in the way of justice: and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him. + +** Matthew 21:33 + +Hear ye another parable. There was a man, an householder, who planted a vineyard and made a hedge round about it and dug in it a press and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went into a strange country. + +** Matthew 21:34 + +And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof. + +** Matthew 21:35 + +And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one and killed another and stoned another. + +** Matthew 21:36 + +Again he sent other servants, more than the former; and they did to them in like manner. + +** Matthew 21:37 + +And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son. + +** Matthew 21:38 + +But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance. + +** Matthew 21:39 + +And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard and killed him. + +** Matthew 21:40 + +When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen? + +** Matthew 21:41 + +They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end and let out his vineyard to other husbandmen that shall render him the fruit in due season. + +** Matthew 21:42 + +Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes. + +** Matthew 21:43 + +Therefore I say to you that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof. + +** Matthew 21:44 + +And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder. + +** Matthew 21:45 + +And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them. + +** Matthew 21:46 + +And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him as a prophet. + +* Matthew 22 + +** Matthew 22:1 + +And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying: + +** Matthew 22:2 + +The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son. + +** Matthew 22:3 + +And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come. + +** Matthew 22:4 + +Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage. + +** Matthew 22:5 + +But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise. + +** Matthew 22:6 + +And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death. + +** Matthew 22:7 + +But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city. + +** Matthew 22:8 + +Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy. + +** Matthew 22:9 + +Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage. + +** Matthew 22:10 + +And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests. + +** Matthew 22:11 + +And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment. + +** Matthew 22:12 + +And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent. + +** Matthew 22:13 + +Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +** Matthew 22:14 + +For many are called, but few are chosen. + +** Matthew 22:15 + +Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech. + +** Matthew 22:16 + +And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and teachest the way of God in truth. Neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men. + +** Matthew 22:17 + +Tell us therefore what dost thou think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? + +** Matthew 22:18 + +But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? + +** Matthew 22:19 + +Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. + +** Matthew 22:20 + +And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? + +** Matthew 22:21 + +They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's. + +** Matthew 22:22 + +And hearing this, they wondered and, leaving him, went their ways. + +** Matthew 22:23 + +That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him, + +** Matthew 22:24 + +Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother. + +** Matthew 22:25 + +Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother. + +** Matthew 22:26 + +In like manner the second and the third and so on, to the seventh. + +** Matthew 22:27 + +And last of all the woman died also. + +** Matthew 22:28 + +At the resurrection therefore, whose wife of the seven shall she be? For they all had her. + +** Matthew 22:29 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. + +** Matthew 22:30 + +For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married, but shall be as the angels of God in heaven. + +** Matthew 22:31 + +And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you: + +** Matthew 22:32 + +I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living. + +** Matthew 22:33 + +And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine. + +** Matthew 22:34 + +But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together. + +** Matthew 22:35 + +And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him: + +** Matthew 22:36 + +Master, which is the great commandment in the law? + +** Matthew 22:37 + +Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind. + +** Matthew 22:38 + +This is the greatest and the first commandment. + +** Matthew 22:39 + +And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. + +** Matthew 22:40 + +On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets. + +** Matthew 22:41 + +And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them, + +** Matthew 22:42 + +Saying: What think you of Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him: David's. + +** Matthew 22:43 + +He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying: + +** Matthew 22:44 + +The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool? + +** Matthew 22:45 + +If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? + +** Matthew 22:46 + +And no man was able to answer him a word: neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. + +* Matthew 23 + +** Matthew 23:1 + +Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, + +** Matthew 23:2 + +Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses. + +** Matthew 23:3 + +All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not. For they say, and do not. + +** Matthew 23:4 + +For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens and lay them on men's shoulders: but with a finger of their own they will not move them. + +** Matthew 23:5 + +And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge their fringes. + +** Matthew 23:6 + +And they love the first places at feasts and the first chairs in the synagogues, + +** Matthew 23:7 + +And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi. + +** Matthew 23:8 + +But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master: and all you are brethren. + +** Matthew 23:9 + +And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven. + +** Matthew 23:10 + +Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, Christ. + +** Matthew 23:11 + +He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant. + +** Matthew 23:12 + +And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. + +** Matthew 23:13 + +But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for you yourselves do not enter in and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter. + +** Matthew 23:14 + +Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour the houses of widows, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgment. + +** Matthew 23:15 + +Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte. And when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves. + +** Matthew 23:16 + +Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple is a debtor. + +** Matthew 23:17 + +Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? + +** Matthew 23:18 + +And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor. + +** Matthew 23:19 + +Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? + +** Matthew 23:20 + +He therefore that sweareth by the altar sweareth by it and by all things that are upon it. + +** Matthew 23:21 + +And whosoever shall swear by the temple sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth in it. + +** Matthew 23:22 + +And he that sweareth by heaven sweareth by the throne of God and by him that sitteth thereon. + +** Matthew 23:23 + +Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint and anise and cummin and have left the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and faith. These things you ought to have done and not to leave those undone. + +** Matthew 23:24 + +Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel. + +** Matthew 23:25 + +Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness. + +** Matthew 23:26 + +Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean. + +** Matthew 23:27 + +Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful but within are full of dead men's bones and of all filthiness. + +** Matthew 23:28 + +So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just: but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. + +** Matthew 23:29 + +Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, that build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the just, + +** Matthew 23:30 + +And say: If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. + +** Matthew 23:31 + +Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets. + +** Matthew 23:32 + +Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. + +** Matthew 23:33 + +You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell? + +** Matthew 23:34 + +Therefore behold I send to you prophets and wise men and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify: and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city. + +** Matthew 23:35 + +That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. + +** Matthew 23:36 + +Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation. + +** Matthew 23:37 + +Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldst not? + +** Matthew 23:38 + +Behold, your house shall be left to you, desolate. + +** Matthew 23:39 + +For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. + +* Matthew 24 + +** Matthew 24:1 + +And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple. + +** Matthew 24:2 + +And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed. + +** Matthew 24:3 + +And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the consummation of the world? + +** Matthew 24:4 + +And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you. + +** Matthew 24:5 + +For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ. And they will seduce many. + +** Matthew 24:6 + +And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass: but the end is not yet. + +** Matthew 24:7 + +For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in places. + +** Matthew 24:8 + +Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. + +** Matthew 24:9 + +Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake. + +** Matthew 24:10 + +And then shall many be scandalized and shall betray one another and shall hate one another. + +** Matthew 24:11 + +And many false prophets shall rise and shall seduce many. + +** Matthew 24:12 + +And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. + +** Matthew 24:13 + +But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. + +** Matthew 24:14 + +And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations: and then shall the consummation come. + +** Matthew 24:15 + +When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand. + +** Matthew 24:16 + +Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains: + +** Matthew 24:17 + +And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: + +** Matthew 24:18 + +And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. + +** Matthew 24:19 + +And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days. + +** Matthew 24:20 + +But pray that your flight be not in the winter or on the sabbath. + +** Matthew 24:21 + +For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. + +** Matthew 24:22 + +And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. + +** Matthew 24:23 + +Then if any man shall say to you, Lo here is Christ, or there: do not believe him. + +** Matthew 24:24 + +For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. + +** Matthew 24:25 + +Behold I have told it to you, beforehand. + +** Matthew 24:26 + +If therefore they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert: go ye not out. Behold he is in the closets: believe it not. + +** Matthew 24:27 + +For as lightning cometh out of the east and appeareth even into the west: so shall also the cowling of the Son of man be. + +** Matthew 24:28 + +Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together. + +** Matthew 24:29 + +And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be moved. + +** Matthew 24:30 + +And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. And then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty. + +** Matthew 24:31 + +And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them. + +** Matthew 24:32 + +And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh. + +** Matthew 24:33 + +So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors. + +** Matthew 24:34 + +Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done. + +** Matthew 24:35 + +Heaven and earth shall pass: but my words shall not pass. + +** Matthew 24:36 + +But of that day and hour no one knoweth: no, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone. + +** Matthew 24:37 + +And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. + +** Matthew 24:38 + +For, as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark: + +** Matthew 24:39 + +And they knew not till the flood came and took them all away: so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. + +** Matthew 24:40 + +Then two shall be in the field. One shall be taken and one shall be left. + +** Matthew 24:41 + +Two women shall be grinding at the mill. One shall be taken and one shall be left. + +** Matthew 24:42 + +Watch ye therefore, because you know not what hour your Lord will come. + +** Matthew 24:43 + +But this know ye, that, if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. + +** Matthew 24:44 + +Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come. + +** Matthew 24:45 + +Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season? + +** Matthew 24:46 + +Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing. + +** Matthew 24:47 + +Amen I say to you: he shall place him over all his goods. + +** Matthew 24:48 + +But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming: + +** Matthew 24:49 + +And shall begin to strike his fellow servants and shall eat and drink with drunkards: + +** Matthew 24:50 + +The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not and at an hour that he knoweth not: + +** Matthew 24:51 + +And shall separate him and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +* Matthew 25 + +** Matthew 25:1 + +Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. + +** Matthew 25:2 + +And five of them were foolish and five wise. + +** Matthew 25:3 + +But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them. + +** Matthew 25:4 + +But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps. + +** Matthew 25:5 + +And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept. + +** Matthew 25:6 + +And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh. Go ye forth to meet him. + +** Matthew 25:7 + +Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. + +** Matthew 25:8 + +And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. + +** Matthew 25:9 + +The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves. + +** Matthew 25:10 + +Now whilst they went to buy the bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut. + +** Matthew 25:11 + +But at last came also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us. + +** Matthew 25:12 + +But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not. + +** Matthew 25:13 + +Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour. + +** Matthew 25:14 + +For even as a man going into a far country called his servants and delivered to them his goods; + +** Matthew 25:15 + +And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey. + +** Matthew 25:16 + +And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five. + +** Matthew 25:17 + +And in like manner he that had received the two gained other two. + +** Matthew 25:18 + +But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord's money. + +** Matthew 25:19 + +But after a long time the lord of those servants came and reckoned with them. + +** Matthew 25:20 + +And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents. Behold I have gained other five over and above. + +** Matthew 25:21 + +His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. + +** Matthew 25:22 + +And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me. Behold I have gained other two. + +** Matthew 25:23 + +His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. + +** Matthew 25:24 + +But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and gatherest where thou hast not strewed. + +** Matthew 25:25 + +And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold here thou hast that which is thine. + +** Matthew 25:26 + +And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not strewed. + +** Matthew 25:27 + +Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury. + +** Matthew 25:28 + +Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it him that hath ten talents. + +** Matthew 25:29 + +For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away. + +** Matthew 25:30 + +And the unprofitable servant, cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. + +** Matthew 25:31 + +And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. + +** Matthew 25:32 + +And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: + +** Matthew 25:33 + +And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. + +** Matthew 25:34 + +Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. + +** Matthew 25:35 + +For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: + +** Matthew 25:36 + +Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. + +** Matthew 25:37 + +Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink? + +** Matthew 25:38 + +Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee? + +** Matthew 25:39 + +Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee? + +** Matthew 25:40 + +And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. + +** Matthew 25:41 + +Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels. + +** Matthew 25:42 + +For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink. + +** Matthew 25:43 + +I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me. + +** Matthew 25:44 + +Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee? + +** Matthew 25:45 + +Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. + +** Matthew 25:46 + +And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting. + +* Matthew 26 + +** Matthew 26:1 + +And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples: + +** Matthew 26:2 + +You know that after two days shall be the pasch: and the Son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified. + +** Matthew 26:3 + +Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people, into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas: + +** Matthew 26:4 + +And they consulted together that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death. + +** Matthew 26:5 + +But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people. + +** Matthew 26:6 + +And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, + +** Matthew 26:7 + +There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he was at table. + +** Matthew 26:8 + +And the disciples seeing it had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste? + +** Matthew 26:9 + +For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor. + +** Matthew 26:10 + +And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? For she hath wrought a good work upon me. + +** Matthew 26:11 + +For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always. + +** Matthew 26:12 + +For she in pouring this ointment on my body hath done it for my burial. + +** Matthew 26:13 + +Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a memory of her. + +** Matthew 26:14 + +Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests. + +** Matthew 26:15 + +And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver. + +** Matthew 26:16 + +And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him. + +** Matthew 26:17 + +And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch? + +** Matthew 26:18 + +But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man and say to him: The master saith, My time is near at hand. With thee I make the pasch with my disciples. + +** Matthew 26:19 + +And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them: and they prepared the pasch. + +** Matthew 26:20 + +But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples. + +** Matthew 26:21 + +And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you that one of you is about to betray me. + +** Matthew 26:22 + +And they being very much troubled began every one to say: Is it I, Lord? + +** Matthew 26:23 + +But he answering said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me. + +** Matthew 26:24 + +The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born. + +** Matthew 26:25 + +And Judas that betrayed him answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it. + +** Matthew 26:26 + +And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread and blessed and broke and gave to his disciples and said: Take ye and eat. This is my body. + +** Matthew 26:27 + +And taking the chalice, he gave thanks and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. + +** Matthew 26:28 + +For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins. + +** Matthew 26:29 + +And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father. + +** Matthew 26:30 + +And a hymn being said, they went out unto mount Olivet. + +** Matthew 26:31 + +Then Jesus saith to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd: and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed. + +** Matthew 26:32 + +But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. + +** Matthew 26:33 + +And Peter answering, said to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized. + +** Matthew 26:34 + +Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. + +** Matthew 26:35 + +Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples. + +** Matthew 26:36 + +Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray. + +** Matthew 26:37 + +And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad. + +** Matthew 26:38 + +Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch with me. + +** Matthew 26:39 + +And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt. + +** Matthew 26:40 + +And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep. And he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me? + +** Matthew 26:41 + +Watch ye: and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. + +** Matthew 26:42 + +Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done. + +** Matthew 26:43 + +And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy. + +** Matthew 26:44 + +And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word. + +** Matthew 26:45 + +Then he cometh to his disciples and said to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. Behold the hour is at hand: and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. + +** Matthew 26:46 + +Rise: let us go. Behold he is at hand that will betray me. + +** Matthew 26:47 + +As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people. + +** Matthew 26:48 + +And he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Hold him fast. + +** Matthew 26:49 + +And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him. + +** Matthew 26:50 + +And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and held him. + +** Matthew 26:51 + +And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. + +** Matthew 26:52 + +Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword. + +** Matthew 26:53 + +Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels? + +** Matthew 26:54 + +How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done? + +** Matthew 26:55 + +In that same hour, Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out, as it were to a robber, with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple: and you laid not hands on me. + +** Matthew 26:56 + +Now all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples, all leaving him, fled. + +** Matthew 26:57 + +But they holding Jesus led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled. + +** Matthew 26:58 + +And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest, And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end. + +** Matthew 26:59 + +And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death. + +** Matthew 26:60 + +And they found not, whereas many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses: + +** Matthew 26:61 + +And they said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and after three days to rebuild it. + +** Matthew 26:62 + +And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee? + +** Matthew 26:63 + +But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God. + +** Matthew 26:64 + +Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of heaven. + +** Matthew 26:65 + +Then the high priest rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed: What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy. + +** Matthew 26:66 + +What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death. + +** Matthew 26:67 + +Then did they spit in his face and buffeted him. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands, + +** Matthew 26:68 + +Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ. Who is he that struck thee? + +** Matthew 26:69 + +But Peter sat without in the court. And there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean. + +** Matthew 26:70 + +But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest. + +** Matthew 26:71 + +And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth. + +** Matthew 26:72 + +And again he denied with an oath: I know not the man. + +** Matthew 26:73 + +And after a little while, they came that stood by and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them. For even thy speech doth discover thee. + +** Matthew 26:74 + +Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. + +** Matthew 26:75 + +And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly. + +* Matthew 27 + +** Matthew 27:1 + +And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death. + +** Matthew 27:2 + +And they brought him bound and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. + +** Matthew 27:3 + +Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, + +** Matthew 27:4 + +Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? Look thou to it. + +** Matthew 27:5 + +And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed and went and hanged himself with an halter. + +** Matthew 27:6 + +But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood. + +** Matthew 27:7 + +And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers. + +** Matthew 27:8 + +For this cause that field was called Haceldama, that is, the field of blood, even to this day. + +** Matthew 27:9 + +Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel. + +** Matthew 27:10 + +And they gave them unto the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me. + +** Matthew 27:11 + +And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it. + +** Matthew 27:12 + +And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing. + +** Matthew 27:13 + +Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee? + +** Matthew 27:14 + +And he answered him to never a word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly. + +** Matthew 27:15 + +Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would. + +** Matthew 27:16 + +And he had then a notorious prisoner that was called Barabbas. + +** Matthew 27:17 + +They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to You: Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ? + +** Matthew 27:18 + +For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. + +** Matthew 27:19 + +And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. + +** Matthew 27:20 + +But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people that they should ask Barabbas and make Jesus away. + +** Matthew 27:21 + +And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said: Barabbas. + +** Matthew 27:22 + +Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified. + +** Matthew 27:23 + +The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified. + +** Matthew 27:24 + +And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look you to it. + +** Matthew 27:25 + +And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and upon our children. + +** Matthew 27:26 + +Then he released to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified. + +** Matthew 27:27 + +Then the soldiers of the governor, taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band. + +** Matthew 27:28 + +And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him. + +** Matthew 27:29 + +And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews. + +** Matthew 27:30 + +And spitting upon him, they took the reed and struck his head. + +** Matthew 27:31 + +And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him and put on him his own garments and led him away to crucify him. + +** Matthew 27:32 + +And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross. + +** Matthew 27:33 + +And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary. + +** Matthew 27:34 + +And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink. + +** Matthew 27:35 + +And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. + +** Matthew 27:36 + +And they sat and watched him. + +** Matthew 27:37 + +And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. + +** Matthew 27:38 + +Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand and one on the left. + +** Matthew 27:39 + +And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, + +** Matthew 27:40 + +And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. + +** Matthew 27:41 + +In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking said: + +** Matthew 27:42 + +He saved others: himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross: and we will believe him. + +** Matthew 27:43 + +He trusted in God: let him now deliver him if he will have him. For he said: I am the Son of God. + +** Matthew 27:44 + +And the selfsame thing the thieves also that were crucified with him reproached him with. + +** Matthew 27:45 + +Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour. + +** Matthew 27:46 + +And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? That is, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? + +** Matthew 27:47 + +And some that stood there and heard said: This man calleth Elias. + +** Matthew 27:48 + +And immediately one of them running took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink. + +** Matthew 27:49 + +And the others said: Let be. Let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him. + +** Matthew 27:50 + +And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. + +** Matthew 27:51 + +And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom: and the earth quaked and the rocks were rent. + +** Matthew 27:52 + +And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose, + +** Matthew 27:53 + +And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city and appeared to many. + +** Matthew 27:54 + +Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God. + +** Matthew 27:55 + +And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: + +** Matthew 27:56 + +Among whom was Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. + +** Matthew 27:57 + +And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. + +** Matthew 27:58 + +He went to Pilate and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered. + +** Matthew 27:59 + +And Joseph taking the body wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth: + +** Matthew 27:60 + +And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument and went his way. + +** Matthew 27:61 + +And there was there Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. + +** Matthew 27:62 + +And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, + +** Matthew 27:63 + +Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again. + +** Matthew 27:64 + +Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away and say to the people: He is risen from the dead. And the last error shall be worse than the first. + +** Matthew 27:65 + +Pilate saith to them: You have a guard. Go, guard it as you know. + +** Matthew 27:66 + +And they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone and setting guards. + +* Matthew 28 + +** Matthew 28:1 + +And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. + +** Matthew 28:2 + +And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and coming rolled back the stone and sat upon it. + +** Matthew 28:3 + +And his countenance was as lightning and his raiment as snow. + +** Matthew 28:4 + +And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror and became as dead men. + +** Matthew 28:5 + +And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. + +** Matthew 28:6 + +He is not here. For he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid. + +** Matthew 28:7 + +And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen. And behold he will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. + +** Matthew 28:8 + +And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. + +** Matthew 28:9 + +And behold, Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet and adored him. + +** Matthew 28:10 + +Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee. There they shall see me. + +** Matthew 28:11 + +Who when they were departed, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all things that had been done. + +** Matthew 28:12 + +And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers, + +** Matthew 28:13 + +Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night and stole him away when we were asleep. + +** Matthew 28:14 + +And if the governor shall hear of this, we will persuade him and secure you. + +** Matthew 28:15 + +So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day. + +** Matthew 28:16 + +And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. + +** Matthew 28:17 + +And seeing him they adored: but some doubted. + +** Matthew 28:18 + +And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. + +** Matthew 28:19 + +Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. + +** Matthew 28:20 + +Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.

Behold we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters, and some of our daughters are bondwomen already, neither have we wherewith to redeem them, and our fields and our vineyards other men possess. + +** Nehemiah 5:6 + +And I was exceedingly angry when I heard their cry according to these words. + +** Nehemiah 5:7 + +And my heart thought with myself: and I rebuked the nobles and magistrates, and said to them: Do you every one exact usury of your brethren? And I gathered together a great assembly against them, + +** Nehemiah 5:8 + +And I said to them: We, as you know, have redeemed according to our ability our brethren the Jews, that were sold to the Gentiles: and will you then sell your brethren, for us to redeem them? And they held their peace, and found not what to answer. + +** Nehemiah 5:9 + +And I said to them: The thing you do is not good: why walk you not in the fear of our God, that we be not exposed to the reproaches of the Gentiles our enemies? + +** Nehemiah 5:10 + +Both I and my brethren, and my servants, have lent money and corn to many: let us all agree not to call for it again; let us forgive the debt that is owing to us. + +** Nehemiah 5:11 + +Restore ye to them this day their fields, and their vineyards, and their oliveyards, and their houses: and the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, which you were wont to exact of them, give it rather for them. + +** Nehemiah 5:12 + +And they said: We will restore, and we will require nothing of them: and we will do as thou sayest. And I called the priests and took an oath of them, to do according to what I had said. + +** Nehemiah 5:13 + +Moreover I shook my lap, and said: So may God shake every man that shall not accomplish this word, out of his house, and out of his labours, thus may he be shaken out, and become empty. And all the multitude said: Amen. And they praised God. And the people did according to what was said. + +** Nehemiah 5:14 + +And from the day, in which the king commanded me to be governor in the land of Juda, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, for twelve years, I and my brethren did not eat the yearly allowance that was due to the governors. + +** Nehemiah 5:15 + +But the former governors that had been before me, were chargeable to the people, and took of them in bread, and wine, and in money every day forty sicles: and their officers also oppressed the people. But I did not so for the fear of God. + +** Nehemiah 5:16 + +Moreover I built in the work of the wall, and I bought no land, and all my servants were gathered together to the work. + +** Nehemiah 5:17 + +The Jews also and the magistrates to the number of one hundred and fifty men, were at my table, besides them that came to us from among the nations that were round about us. + +** Nehemiah 5:18 + +And there was prepared for me day be day one ox, and six choice rams, besides fowls, and once in ten days I gave store of divers wines, and many other things: yet I did not require my yearly allowance as governor: for the people were very much impoverished. + +** Nehemiah 5:19 + +Remember me, O my God, for good according to all that I have done for this people. + +* Nehemiah 6 + +** Nehemiah 6:1 + +And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gossem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,) + +** Nehemiah 6:2 + +Sanaballat and Gossem sent to me, saying: Come, and let us make a league together in the villages, in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. + +** Nehemiah 6:3 + +And I sent messengers to them, saying: I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down, lest it be neglected whilst I come, and go down to you. + +** Nehemiah 6:4 + +And they sent to me according to this word, four times: and I answered them after the same manner. + +** Nehemiah 6:5 + +And Sanaballat sent his servant to me the fifth time according to the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner: + +** Nehemiah 6:6 + +It is reported amongst the Gentiles, and Gossem hath said it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, and therefore thou buildest the wall, and hast a mind to set thyself king over them: for which end + +** Nehemiah 6:7 + +Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together. + +** Nehemiah 6:8 + +And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart. + +** Nehemiah 6:9 + +For all these men thought to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would leave off. Wherefore I strengthened my hands the more: + +** Nehemiah 6:10 + +And I went into the house of Samaia the son of Delaia, the son of Metabeel privately. And he said: Let us consult together in the house of God in the midst of the temple: and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they will come to kill thee, and in the night they will come to slay thee. + +** Nehemiah 6:11 + +And I said: Should such a man as I flee? and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple, to save his life? I will not go in. + +** Nehemiah 6:12 + +And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him. + +** Nehemiah 6:13 + +For he had taken money, that I being afraid should do this thing, and sin, and they might have some evil to upbraid me withal. + +** Nehemiah 6:14 + +Remember me, O Lord, for Tobias and Sanaballat, according to their works of this kind: and Noadias the prophet, and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear. + +** Nehemiah 6:15 + +But the wall was finished the five and twentieth day of the month of Elul, in two and fifty days. + +** Nehemiah 6:16 + +And it came to pass when all our enemies heard of it, that all nations which were round about us, were afraid, and were cast down within themselves, for they perceived that this work was the work of God. + +** Nehemiah 6:17 + +Moreover in those days many letters were sent by the principal men of the Jews to Tobias, and from Tobias there came letters to them. + +** Nehemiah 6:18 + +For there were many in Judea sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Sechenias the son of Area, and Johanan his son had taken to wife the daughter of Mosollam the son of Barachias. + +** Nehemiah 6:19 + +And they praised him also before me, and they related my words to him: And Tobias sent letters to put me in fear. + +* Nehemiah 7 + +** Nehemiah 7:1 + +Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites: + +** Nehemiah 7:2 + +I commanded Hanani my brother, and Hananias ruler of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed as a sincere man, and one that feared God above the rest,) + +** Nehemiah 7:3 + +And I said to them: Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun be hot. And while they were yet standing by the gates were shut, and barred: and I set watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one by their courses, and every man over against his house. + +** Nehemiah 7:4 + +And the city was very wide and great, and the people few in the midst thereof, and the houses were not built. + +** Nehemiah 7:5 + +But God had put in my heart, and I assembled the princes and magistrates, and common people, to number them: and I found a book of the number of them who came up at first and therein it was found written: + +** Nehemiah 7:6 + +These are the children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city. + +** Nehemiah 7:7 + +Who came with Zorobabel, Josue, Nehemiah, Azarias, Raamias, Nahamani, Mardochai, Belsam, Mespharath, Begoia, Nahum, Baana.

people: may he make thy thigh to rot, and may thy belly swell and burst asunder. + +** Numbers 5:22 + +Let the cursed waters enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and thy thigh rot. And the woman shall answer, Amen, amen. + +** Numbers 5:23 + +And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall wash them out with the most bitter waters, upon which he hath heaped the curses, + +** Numbers 5:24 + +And he shall give them her to drink. And when she hath drunk them up, + +** Numbers 5:25 + +The priest shall take from her hand the sacrifice of jealousy, and shall elevate it before the Lord, and shall put it upon the altar: yet so as first, + +** Numbers 5:26 + +To take a handful of the sacrifice of that which is offered, and burn it upon the altar: and so give the most bitter waters to the woman to drink. + +** Numbers 5:27 + +And when she hath drunk them, if she be defiled, and having despised her husband be guilty of adultery, the malediction shall go through her, and her belly swelling, her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse, and an example to all the people. + +** Numbers 5:28 + +But if she be not defiled, she shall not be hurt, and shall bear children. + +** Numbers 5:29 + +This is the law of jealousy.

They shall not drink vinegar of wine, or of any other drink, nor any thing that is pressed out of the grape: nor shall they eat grapes either fresh or dried. + +** Numbers 6:4 + +All the days that they are consecrated to the Lord by vow: they shall eat nothing that cometh of the vineyard, from the raisin even to the kernel. + +** Numbers 6:5 + +All the time of his separation no razor shall pass over his head, until the day be fulfilled of his consecration to the Lord. He shall be holy, and shall let the hair of his head grow. + +** Numbers 6:6 + +All the time of his consecration he shall not go in to any dead, + +** Numbers 6:7 + +Neither shall he make himself unclean, even for his father, or for his mother, or for his brother, or for his sister, when they die, because the consecration of his God is upon his head. + +** Numbers 6:8 + +All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the Lord. + +** Numbers 6:9 + +But if any man die suddenly before him: the head of his consecration shall be defiled: and he shall shave it forthwith on the same day of his purification, and again on the seventh day. + +** Numbers 6:10 + +And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons to the priest in the entry of the covenant of the testimony. + +** Numbers 6:11 + +And the priest shall offer one for sin, and the other for a holocaust, and shall pray for him, for that he hath sinned by the dead: and he shall sanctify his head that day: + +** Numbers 6:12 + +And shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, offering a lamb of one year for sin: yet so that the former days be made void, because his sanctification was profaned. + +** Numbers 6:13 + +This is the law of consecration. When the days which he had determined by vow shall be expired, he shall bring him to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, + +** Numbers 6:14 + +And shall offer his oblation to the Lord: one he lamb of a year old without blemish for a holocaust, and one ewe lamb of a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for a victim of peace offering, + +** Numbers 6:15 + +A basket also of unleavened bread, tempered with oil, and wafers without leaven anointed with oil, and the libations of each: + +** Numbers 6:16 + +And the priest shall present them before the Lord, and shall offer both the sin offering and the holocaust. + +** Numbers 6:17 + +But the ram he shall immolate for a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord, offering at the same time the basket of unleavened bread, and the libations that are due by custom. + +** Numbers 6:18 + +Then shall the hair of the consecration of the Nazarite, be shaved off before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant: and he shall take his hair, and lay it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. + +** Numbers 6:19 + +And shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and he shall deliver them into the hands of the Nazarite, after his head is shaven. + +** Numbers 6:20 + +And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate them in the sight of the Lord: and they being sanctified shall belong to the priest, as the breast, which was commanded to be separated, and the shoulder. After this the Nazarite may drink wine. + +** Numbers 6:21 + +This is the law of the Nazarite, when he hath vowed his oblation to the Lord in the time of his consecration, besides those things which his hand shall find, according to that which he had vowed in his mind, so shall he do for the fulfilling of his sanctification. + +** Numbers 6:22 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 6:23 + +Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the children of Israel, and you shall say to them: + +** Numbers 6:24 + +The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. + +** Numbers 6:25 + +The Lord shew his face to thee, and have mercy on thee. + +** Numbers 6:26 + +The Lord turn his countenance to thee, and give thee peace. + +** Numbers 6:27 + +And they shall invoke my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them. + +* Numbers 7 + +** Numbers 7:1 + +And it came to pass in the day that Moses had finished the tabernacle, and set it up, and had anointed and sanctified it with all its vessels, the altar likewise and all the vessels thereof, + +** Numbers 7:2 + +The princes of Israel and the heads of the families, in every tribe, who were the rulers of them who had been numbered, offered + +** Numbers 7:3 + +Their gifts before the Lord, six wagons covered, and twelve oxen.

From the day that I slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, have I sanctified them to myself: + +** Numbers 8:18 + +And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel: + +** Numbers 8:19 + +And have delivered them for a gift to Aaron and his sons out of the midst of the people, to serve me for Israel in the tabernacle of the covenant, and to pray for them, lest there should be a plague among the people, if they should presume to approach unto my sanctuary. + +** Numbers 8:20 + +And Moses and Aaron and all the multitude of the children of Israel did with the Levites all that the Lord had commanded Moses + +** Numbers 8:21 + +And they were purified, and washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lord, and prayed for them, + +** Numbers 8:22 + +That being purified they might go into the tabernacle of the covenant to do their services before Aaron and his sons. As the Lord had commanded Moses touching the Levites, so was it done. + +** Numbers 8:23 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 8:24 + +This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upwards, they shall go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant. + +** Numbers 8:25 + +And when they shall have accomplished the fiftieth year of their age, they shall cease to serve: + +** Numbers 8:26 + +And they shall be the ministers of their brethren in the tabernacle of the covenant, to keep the things that are committed to their care, but not to do the works. Thus shalt thou order the Levites touching their charge. + +* Numbers 9 + +** Numbers 9:1 + +The Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying: + +** Numbers 9:2 + +Let the children of Israel make the phase in its due time, + +** Numbers 9:3 + +The fourteenth day of this month in the evening, according to all the ceremonies and justifications thereof. + +** Numbers 9:4 + +And Moses commanded the children of Israel that they should make the phase. + +** Numbers 9:5 + +And they made it in its proper time: the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in mount Sinai. The children of Israel did according to all things that the Lord had commanded Moses. + +** Numbers 9:6 + +But behold some who were unclean by occasion of the soul of a man, who could not make the phase on that day, coming to Moses and Aaron, + +** Numbers 9:7 + +Said to them: We are unclean by occasion of the soul of a man. Why are we kept back that we may not offer in its season the offering to the Lord among the children of Israel? + +** Numbers 9:8 + +And Moses answered them: Stay that I may consult the Lord what he will ordain concerning you. + +** Numbers 9:9 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 9:10 + +Say to the children of Israel: The man that shall be unclean by occasion of one that is dead, or shall be in a journey afar off in your nation, let him make the phase to the Lord. + +** Numbers 9:11 + +In the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and wild lettuce: + +** Numbers 9:12 + +They shall not leave any thing thereof until morning, nor break a bone thereof, they shall observe all the ceremonies of the phase. + +** Numbers 9:13 + +But if any man is clean, and was not on a journey, and did not make the phase, that soul shall be cut off from among his people, because he offered not sacrifice to the Lord in due season: he shall bear his sin. + +** Numbers 9:14 + +The sojourner also and the stranger if they be among you, shall make the phase to the Lord according to the ceremonies and justifications thereof.

But from the evening there was over the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning. + +** Numbers 9:16 + +So it was always: by day the cloud covered it, and by night as it were the appearance of fire. + +** Numbers 9:17 + +And when the cloud that covered the tabernacle was taken up, then the children of Israel marched forward: and in the place where the cloud stood still, there they camped. + +** Numbers 9:18 + +At the commandment of the Lord they marched, and at his commandment they pitched the tabernacle. All the days that the cloud abode over the tabernacle, they remained in the same place: + +** Numbers 9:19 + +And if it was so that it continued over it a long time, the children of Israel kept the watches of the Lord, and marched not, + +** Numbers 9:20 + +For as many days soever as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle. At the commandment of the Lord they pitched their tents, and at his commandment they took them down. + +** Numbers 9:21 + +If the cloud tarried from evening until morning, and immediately at break of day left the tabernacle, they marched forward: and if it departed after a day and a night, they took down their tents. + +** Numbers 9:22 + +But if it remained over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a longer time, the children of Israel remained in the same place, and marched not: but immediately as soon as it departed, they removed the camp. + +** Numbers 9:23 + +By the word of the Lord they pitched their tents, and by his word they marched: and kept the watches of the Lord according to his commandment by the hand of Moses. + +* Numbers 10 + +** Numbers 10:1 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 10:2 + +Make thee two trumpets of beaten silver, wherewith thou mayest call together the multitude when the camp is to be removed. + +** Numbers 10:3 + +And when thou shalt sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather unto thee to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant. + +** Numbers 10:4 + +If thou sound but once, the princes and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee. + +** Numbers 10:5 + +But if the sound of the trumpets be longer, and with interruptions, they that are on the east side, shall first go forward. + +** Numbers 10:6 + +And at the second sounding and like noise of the trumpet, they who lie on the south side shall take up their tents. And after this manner shall the rest do, when the trumpets shall sound for a march. + +** Numbers 10:7 + +But when the people is to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be plain, and they shall not make a broken sound. + +** Numbers 10:8 + +And the sons of Aaron the priest shall sound the trumpets: and this shall be an ordinance for ever in your generations. + +** Numbers 10:9 + +If you go forth to war out of your land against the enemies that fight against you, you shall sound aloud with the trumpets, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, that you may be delivered out of the hands of your enemies. + +** Numbers 10:10 + +If at any time you shall have a banquet, and on your festival days, and on the first days of your months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts, and the sacrifices of peace offerings, that they may be to you for a remembrance of your God. I am the Lord your God. + +** Numbers 10:11 + +The second year, in the second month, the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle of the covenant. + +** Numbers 10:12 + +And the children of Israel marched by their troops from the desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Pharan. + +** Numbers 10:13 + +And the first went forward according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses. + +** Numbers 10:14 + +The sons of Juda by their troops: whose prince was Nahasson the son of Aminadab. + +** Numbers 10:15 + +In the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince was Nathanael the son of Suar. + +** Numbers 10:16 + +In the tribe of Zabulon, the prince was Eliab the son of Helon. + +** Numbers 10:17 + +And the tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gerson and Merari set forward, bearing it. + +** Numbers 10:18 + +And the sons of Ruben also marched, by their troops and ranks, whose prince was Helisur the son of Sedeur. + +** Numbers 10:19 + +And in the tribe of Simeon, the prince was Salamiel the son of Surisaddai. + +** Numbers 10:20 + +And in the tribe of Gad, the prince was Eliasaph the son of Duel. + +** Numbers 10:21 + +Then the Caathites also marched carrying the sanctuary. So long was the tabernacle carried, till they came to the place of setting it up. + +** Numbers 10:22 + +The sons of Ephraim also moved their camp by their troops, in whose army the prince was Elisama the son of Ammiud. + +** Numbers 10:23 + +And in the tribe of the sons of Manasses, the prince was Gamaliel the son of Phadassur. + +** Numbers 10:24 + +And in the tribe of Benjamin, the prince was Abidan the son of Gedeon. + +** Numbers 10:25 + +The last of all the camp marched the sons of Dan by their troops, in whose army the prince was Ahiezer the son of Ammisaddai. + +** Numbers 10:26 + +And in the tribe of the sons of Aser, the prince was Phegiel the son of Ochran. + +** Numbers 10:27 + +And in the tribe of the sons of Nephtali, the prince was Ahira the son of Enan. + +** Numbers 10:28 + +This was the order of the camps, and marches of the children of Israel by their troops, when they set forward. + +** Numbers 10:29 + +And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Madianite, his kinsman: We are going towards the place which the Lord will give us: come with us, that we may do thee good: for the Lord hath promised good things to Israel. + +** Numbers 10:30 + +But he answered him: I will not go with thee, but I will return to my country, wherein I was born. + +** Numbers 10:31 + +And he said: Do not leave us: for thou knowest in what places we should encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be our guide. + +** Numbers 10:32 + +And if thou comest with us, we will give thee what is the best of the riches which the Lord shall deliver to us. + +** Numbers 10:33 + +So they marched from the mount of the Lord three days' journey, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them, for three days providing a place for the camp. + +** Numbers 10:34 + +The cloud also of the Lord was over them by day when they marched. + +** Numbers 10:35 + +And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said: Arise, O Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee from before thy face. + +** Numbers 10:36 + +And when it was set down, he said: Return, O Lord, to the multitude of the host of Israel. + +* Numbers 11 + +** Numbers 11:1 + +In the mean time there arose a murmuring of the people against the Lord, as it were repining at their fatigue. And when the Lord heard it he was angry. And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them, devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp. + +** Numbers 11:2 + +And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up. + +** Numbers 11:3 + +And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them. + +** Numbers 11:4 + +For a mixt multitude of people, that came up with them, burned with desire, sitting and weeping, the children of Israel also being joined with them, and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat? + +** Numbers 11:5 + +We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt free cost: the cucumbers come into our mind, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic. + +** Numbers 11:6 + +Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna. + +** Numbers 11:7 + +Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium. + +** Numbers 11:8 + +And the people went about, and gathering it, ground it in a mill, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil. + +** Numbers 11:9 + +And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it. + +** Numbers 11:10 + +Now Moses heard the people weeping by their families, every one at the door of his tent. And the wrath of the Lord was exceedingly enkindled: to Moses also the thing seemed insupportable. + +** Numbers 11:11 + +And he said to the Lord: Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? Wherefore do I not find favour before thee? And why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon me? + +** Numbers 11:12 + +Have I conceived all this multitude, or begotten them, that thou shouldst say to me: Carry them in thy bosom as the nurse is wont to carry the little infant, and bear them into the land, for which thou hast sworn to their fathers? + +** Numbers 11:13 + +Whence should I have flesh to give to so great a multitude? They weep against me, saying: Give us flesh that we may eat. + +** Numbers 11:14 + +I am not able alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me. + +** Numbers 11:15 + +But if it seem unto thee otherwise, I beseech thee to kill me, and let me find grace in thy eyes, that I be not afflicted with so great evils. + +** Numbers 11:16 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Gather unto me seventy men of the ancients of Israel, whom thou knowest to be ancients and masters of the people: and thou shalt bring them to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and shalt make them stand there with thee, + +** Numbers 11:17 + +That I may come down and speak with thee: and I will take of thy spirit, and will give to them, that they may bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou mayest not be burthened alone. + +** Numbers 11:18 + +And thou shalt say to the people: Be ye sanctified: to morrow you shall eat flesh: for I have heard you say: Who will give us flesh to eat? It was well with us in Egypt. That the Lord may give you flesh, and you may eat: + +** Numbers 11:19 + +Not for one day, nor two, nor five, nor ten, no nor for twenty. + +** Numbers 11:20 + +But even for a month of days, till it come out at your nostrils, and become loathsome to you, because you have cast off the Lord, who is in the midst of you, and have wept before him, saying: Why came we out of Egypt? + +** Numbers 11:21 + +And Moses said: There are six hundred thousand footmen of this people, and sayest thou: I will give them flesh to eat a whole month? + +** Numbers 11:22 + +Shall then a multitude of sheep and oxen be killed, that it may suffice for their food? or shall the fishes of the sea be gathered together to fill them? + +** Numbers 11:23 + +And the Lord answered him: Is the hand of the Lord unable? Thou shalt presently see whether my word shall come to pass or no. + +** Numbers 11:24 + +Moses therefore came, and told the people the words of the Lord, and assembled seventy men of the ancients of Israel, and made them to stand about the tabernacle. + +** Numbers 11:25 + +And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards. + +** Numbers 11:26 + +Now there remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but were not gone forth to the tabernacle. + +** Numbers 11:27 + +And when they prophesied in the camp, there ran a young man, and told Moses, saying: Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp. + +** Numbers 11:28 + +Forthwith Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and chosen out of many, said: My lord Moses forbid them. + +** Numbers 11:29 + +But he said: Why hast thou emulation for me? O that all the people might prophesy, and that the Lord would give them his spirit! + +** Numbers 11:30 + +And Moses returned, with the ancients of Israel, into the camp. + +** Numbers 11:31 + +And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day's journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground. + +** Numbers 11:32 + +The people therefore rising up all that day, and night, and the next day, gathered together of quails, he that did least, ten cores: and they dried them round about the camp. + +** Numbers 11:33 + +As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague. + +** Numbers 11:34 + +And that place was called, The graves of lust: for there they buried the people that had lusted. And departing from the graves of lust, they came unto Haseroth, and abode there. + +* Numbers 12 + +** Numbers 12:1 + +And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian, + +** Numbers 12:2 + +And they said: Hath the Lord spoken by Moses only? Hath he not also spoken to us in like manner? And when the Lord heard this, + +** Numbers 12:3 + +(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth) + +** Numbers 12:4 + +Immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Mary: Come out you three only to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were come out, + +** Numbers 12:5 + +The Lord came down in a pillar of the cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling to Aaron and Mary. And when they were come, + +** Numbers 12:6 + +He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream. + +** Numbers 12:7 + +But it is not so with my servant Moses who is most faithful in all my house: + +** Numbers 12:8 + +For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses? + +** Numbers 12:9 + +And being angry with them he went away: + +** Numbers 12:10 + +The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy, + +** Numbers 12:11 + +He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed: + +** Numbers 12:12 + +Let her not be as one dead, and as an abortive that is cast forth from the mother's womb. Lo, now one half of her flesh is consumed with the leprosy. + +** Numbers 12:13 + +And Moses cried to the Lord, saying O God, I beseech thee heal her. + +** Numbers 12:14 + +And the Lord answered him: If her father had spitten upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed for seven days at least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall be called again. + +** Numbers 12:15 + +Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again. + +* Numbers 13 + +** Numbers 13:1 + +And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan. + +** Numbers 13:2 + +And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying. + +** Numbers 13:3 + +Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers. + +** Numbers 13:4 + +Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these: + +** Numbers 13:5 + +Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur. + +** Numbers 13:6 + +Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Huri. + +** Numbers 13:7 + +Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone. + +** Numbers 13:8 + +Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. + +** Numbers 13:9 + +Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osee the son of Nun. + +** Numbers 13:10 + +Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu. + +** Numbers 13:11 + +Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel the son of Sodi. + +** Numbers 13:12 + +Of the tribe of Joseph, of the sceptre of Manasses, Gaddi the son of Susi. + +** Numbers 13:13 + +Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. + +** Numbers 13:14 + +Of the tribe of Aser, Sthur the son of Michael. + +** Numbers 13:15 + +Of the tribe of Nephtali, Nahabi the son of Vapsi. + +** Numbers 13:16 + +Of the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi. + +** Numbers 13:17 + +These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue. + +** Numbers 13:18 + +And Moses sent them to view the land of Chanaan, and said to them: Go you up by the south side. And when you shall come to the mountains, + +** Numbers 13:19 + +View the land, of what sort it is, and the people that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number or many: + +** Numbers 13:20 + +The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what manner of cities, walled or without walls: + +** Numbers 13:21 + +The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees. Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time when the firstripe grapes are fit to be eaten. + +** Numbers 13:22 + +And when they were gone up, they viewed the land from the desert of Sin, unto Rohob as you enter into Emath. + +** Numbers 13:23 + +And they went up at the south side, and came to Hebron, where were Achiman and Sisai and Tholmai the sons of Enac. For Hebron was built seven years before Tanis the city of Egypt. + +** Numbers 13:24 + +And forward as far as the torrent of the cluster of grapes, they cut off a branch with its cluster of grapes, which two men carried upon a lever. They took also of the pomegranates and of the figs of that place: + +** Numbers 13:25 + +Which was called Nehelescol, that is to say, the torrent of the cluster of grapes, because from thence the children of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes. + +** Numbers 13:26 + +And they that went to spy out the land returned after forty days, having gone round all the country, + +** Numbers 13:27 + +And came to Moses and Aaron and to all the assembly of the children of Israel to the desert of Pharan, which is in Cades. And speaking to them and to all the multitude, they shewed them the fruits of the land: + +** Numbers 13:28 + +And they related and said: We came into the land to which thou sentest us, which in very deed floweth with milk and honey as may be known by these fruits: + +** Numbers 13:29 + +But it hath very strong inhabitants, and the cities are great and walled. We saw there the race of Enac. + +** Numbers 13:30 + +Amalec dwelleth in the south, the Hethite and the Jebusite and the Amorrhite in the mountains: but the Chanaanite abideth by the sea and near the streams of the Jordan. + +** Numbers 13:31 + +In the mean time Caleb, to still the murmuring of the people that rose against Moses, said: Let us go up and possess the land, for we shall be able to conquer it. + +** Numbers 13:32 + +But the others, that had been with him, said: No, we are not able to go up to this people, because they are stronger than we. + +** Numbers 13:33 + +And they spoke ill of the land, which they had viewed, before the children of Israel, saying: The land which we have viewed, devoureth its inhabitants: the people, that we beheld are of a tall stature. + +** Numbers 13:34 + +There we saw certain monsters of the sons of Enac, of the giant kind: in comparison of whom, we seemed like locusts. + +* Numbers 14 + +** Numbers 14:1 + +Therefore the whole multitude crying wept that night. + +** Numbers 14:2 + +And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: + +** Numbers 14:3 + +Would God that we had died in Egypt: and would God we may die in this vast wilderness, and that the Lord may not bring us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives and children be led away captives. Is it not better to return into Egypt? + +** Numbers 14:4 + +And they said one to another: Let us appoint a captain, and let us return into Egypt. + +** Numbers 14:5 + +And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell down flat upon the ground before the multitude of the children of Israel. + +** Numbers 14:6 + +But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephone, who themselves also had viewed the land, rent their garments, + +** Numbers 14:7 + +And said to all the multitude of the children of Israel: The land which we have gone round is very good: + +** Numbers 14:8 + +If the Lord be favourable, he will bring us into it, and give us a land flowing with milk and honey. + +** Numbers 14:9 + +Be not rebellious against the Lord: and fear ye not the people of this land, for we are able to eat them up as bread. All aid is gone from them: the Lord is with us, fear ye not. + +** Numbers 14:10 + +And when all the multitude cried out, and would have stoned them, the glory of the Lord appeared over the tabernacle of the covenant to all the children of Israel. + +** Numbers 14:11 + +And the Lord said to Moses: How long will this people detract me? how long will they not believe me for all the signs that I have wrought before them? + +** Numbers 14:12 + +I will strike them therefore with pestilence, and will consume them: but thee I will make a ruler over a great nation, and a mightier than this is. + +** Numbers 14:13 + +And Moses said to the Lord: That the Egyptians, from the midst of whom thou hast brought forth this people, + +** Numbers 14:14 + +And the inhabitants of this land, (who have heard that thou, O Lord, art among this people, and art seen face to face, and thy cloud protecteth them, and thou goest before them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night,) + +** Numbers 14:15 + +May hear that thou hast killed so great a multitude as it were one man and may say: + +** Numbers 14:16 + +He could not bring the people into the land for which he had sworn, therefore did he kill them in the wilderness. + +** Numbers 14:17 + +Let then the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying: + +** Numbers 14:18 + +The Lord is patient and full of mercy, by taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. + +** Numbers 14:19 + +Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place. + +** Numbers 14:20 + +And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word. + +** Numbers 14:21 + +As I live: and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. + +** Numbers 14:22 + +But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice, + +** Numbers 14:23 + +Shall not see the land for which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any one of them that hath detracted me behold it. + +** Numbers 14:24 + +My servant Caleb, who being full of another spirit hath followed me, I will bring into this land which he hath gone round: and his seed shall possess it. + +** Numbers 14:25 + +For the Amalecite and the Chanaanite dwell in the valleys. To morrow remove the camp, and return into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. + +** Numbers 14:26 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: + +** Numbers 14:27 + +How long doth this wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. + +** Numbers 14:28 + +Say therefore to them: As I live, saith the Lord: According as you have spoken in my hearing, so will I do to you. + +** Numbers 14:29 + +In the wilderness shall your carcasses lie. All you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, and have murmured against me, + +** Numbers 14:30 + +Shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun. + +** Numbers 14:31 + +But your children, of whom you said, that they should be a prey to the enemies, will I bring in: that they may see the land which you have despised. + +** Numbers 14:32 + +Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness. + +** Numbers 14:33 + +Your children shall wander in the desert forty years, and shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers be consumed in the desert, + +** Numbers 14:34 + +According to the number of the forty days, wherein you viewed the land: a year shall be counted for a day. And forty years you shall receive your iniquities, and shall know my revenge: + +** Numbers 14:35 + +For as I have spoken, so will I do to all this wicked multitude, that hath risen up together against me: in this wilderness shall it faint away and die. + +** Numbers 14:36 + +Therefore all the men, whom Moses had sent to view the land, and who at their return had made the whole multitude to murmur against him, speaking ill of the land that it was naught, + +** Numbers 14:37 + +Died and were struck in the sight of the Lord. + +** Numbers 14:38 + +But Josue the son of Nun, and Caleb had gone to view the land. + +** Numbers 14:39 + +And Moses spoke all these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly. + +** Numbers 14:40 + +And behold rising up very early in the morning, they went up to the top of the mountain, and said: We are ready to go up to the place, of which the Lord hath spoken: for we have sinned. + +** Numbers 14:41 + +And Moses said to them: Why transgress you the word of the Lord, which shall not succeed prosperously with you? + +** Numbers 14:42 + +Go not up, for the Lord is not with you: lest you fall before your enemies. + +** Numbers 14:43 + +The Amalecite and the Chanaanite are before you, and by their sword you shall fall, because you would not consent to the Lord, neither will the Lord be with you. + +** Numbers 14:44 + +But they being blinded went up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord and Moses departed not from the camp. + +** Numbers 14:45 + +And the Amalecite came down, and the Chanaanite that dwelt in the mountain: and smiting and slaying them pursued them as far as Horma. + +* Numbers 15 + +** Numbers 15:1 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 15:2 + +Speak to the children of Israel and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be come unto the land of your habitation, which I will give you, + +** Numbers 15:3 + +And shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust, or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep: + +** Numbers 15:4 + +Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered with the fourth part of a hin of oil: + +** Numbers 15:5 + +And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb, + +** Numbers 15:6 + +And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of flour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the third part of a hin of oil: + +** Numbers 15:7 + +And he shall offer the third part the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord. + +** Numbers 15:8 + +But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfil thy vow or for victims of peace offerings, + +** Numbers 15:9 + +Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil, + +** Numbers 15:10 + +And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord. + +** Numbers 15:11 + +Thus shalt thou do + +** Numbers 15:12 + +For every ox and ram and lamb and kid. + +** Numbers 15:13 + +Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers + +** Numbers 15:14 + +Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite. + +** Numbers 15:15 + +There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land. + +** Numbers 15:16 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 15:17 + +Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: + +** Numbers 15:18 + +When you are come into the land which I will give you, + +** Numbers 15:19 + +And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord, + +** Numbers 15:20 + +Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors: + +** Numbers 15:21 + +So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord. + +** Numbers 15:22 + +And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses, + +** Numbers 15:23 + +And by him hath commanded you from the day that he began to command and thenceforward, + +** Numbers 15:24 + +And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libations thereof, as the ceremonies require, and a buck goat for sin: + +** Numbers 15:25 + +And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the children of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because they sinned ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt offering to the Lord for themselves and for their sin and their Ignorance: + +** Numbers 15:26 + +And it shall be forgiven all the people of the children of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance. + +** Numbers 15:27 + +But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin. + +** Numbers 15:28 + +And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be forgiven him. + +** Numbers 15:29 + +The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers. + +** Numbers 15:30 + +But the soul that committeth any thing through pride, whether he be born in the land or a stranger (because he hath been rebellious against the Lord) shall be cut off from among his people: + +** Numbers 15:31 + +For he hath contemned the word of the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity. + +** Numbers 15:32 + +And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day, + +** Numbers 15:33 + +That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude. + +** Numbers 15:34 + +And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him. + +** Numbers 15:35 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp. + +** Numbers 15:36 + +And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded. + +** Numbers 15:37 + +The Lord also said to Moses: + +** Numbers 15:38 + +Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them to make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands of blue: + +** Numbers 15:39 + +That when they shall see them, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own thoughts and eyes going astray after divers things, + +** Numbers 15:40 + +But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their God. + +** Numbers 15:41 + +I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. + +* Numbers 16 + +** Numbers 16:1 + +And behold Core the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, and Hon the son of Pheleth of the children of Ruben, + +** Numbers 16:2 + +Rose up against Moses, and with them two hundred and fifty others of the children of Israel, leading men of the synagogue, and who in the time of assembly were called by name. + +** Numbers 16:3 + +And when they had stood up against Moses and Aaron, they said: Let it be enough for you, that all the multitude consisteth of holy ones, and the Lord is among them: Why lift you up yourselves above the people of the Lord? + +** Numbers 16:4 + +When Moses heard this, he fell flat on his face: + +** Numbers 16:5 + +And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him. + +** Numbers 16:6 + +Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company. + +** Numbers 16:7 + +And putting fire in them to morrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. + +** Numbers 16:8 + +And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi. + +** Numbers 16:9 + +Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him? + +** Numbers 16:10 + +Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also, + +** Numbers 16:11 + +And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him? + +** Numbers 16:12 + +Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come. + +** Numbers 16:13 + +Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us? + +** Numbers 16:14 + +Thou hast brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come. + +** Numbers 16:15 + +Moses therefore being very angry, said to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them. + +** Numbers 16:16 + +And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord to morrow, and Aaron apart. + +** Numbers 16:17 + +Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer. + +** Numbers 16:18 + +When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing, + +** Numbers 16:19 + +And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all. + +** Numbers 16:20 + +And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said: + +** Numbers 16:21 + +Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them. + +** Numbers 16:22 + +They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man's sin shall thy wrath rage against all? + +** Numbers 16:23 + +And the Lord said to Moses: + +** Numbers 16:24 + +Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron. + +** Numbers 16:25 + +And Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiron: and the ancients of Israel following him, + +** Numbers 16:26 + +He said to the multitude: Depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be involved in their sins. + +** Numbers 16:27 + +And when they were departed from their tents round about, Dathan and Abiron coming out stood in the entry of their pavilions with their wives and children, and all the people. + +** Numbers 16:28 + +And Moses said: By this you shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all things that you see, and that I have not forged them of my own head: + +** Numbers 16:29 + +If these men die the common death of men, and if they be visited with a plague, wherewith others also are wont to be visited, the Lord did not send me. + +** Numbers 16:30 + +But if the Lord do a new thing, and the earth opening her mouth swallow them down, and all things that belong to them, and they go down alive into hell, you shall know that they have blasphemed the Lord. + +** Numbers 16:31 + +And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet: + +** Numbers 16:32 + +And opening her mouth, devoured them with their tents and all their substance. + +** Numbers 16:33 + +And they went down alive into hell, the ground closing upon them, and they perished from among the people. + +** Numbers 16:34 + +But all Israel, that was standing round about, fled at the cry of them that were perishing: saying: Lest perhaps the earth swallow us up also. + +** Numbers 16:35 + +And a fire coming out from the Lord, destroyed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense. + +** Numbers 16:36 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 16:37 + +Command Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers that lie in the burning, and to scatter the fire of one side and the other: because they are sanctified + +** Numbers 16:38 + +In the deaths of the sinners: and let him beat them into plates, and fasten them to the altar, because incense hath been offered in them to the Lord, and they are sanctified, that the children of Israel may see them for a sign and a memorial. + +** Numbers 16:39 + +Then Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherein they had offered, whom the burning fire had devoured, and beat them into plates, fastening them to the altar: + +** Numbers 16:40 + +That the children of Israel might have for the time to come wherewith they should be admonished, that no stranger or any one that is not of the seed of Aaron should come near to offer incense to the Lord, lest he should suffer as Core suffered, and all his congregation, according as the Lord spoke to Moses. + +** Numbers 16:41 + +The following day all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying: You have killed the people of the Lord. + +** Numbers 16:42 + +And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased, + +** Numbers 16:43 + +Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were gone into it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared. + +** Numbers 16:44 + +And the Lord said to Moses: + +** Numbers 16:45 + +Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground, + +** Numbers 16:46 + +Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth. + +** Numbers 16:47 + +When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense: + +** Numbers 16:48 + +And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased. + +** Numbers 16:49 + +And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core. + +** Numbers 16:50 + +And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over. + +* Numbers 17 + +** Numbers 17:1 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 17:2 + +Speak to the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod by their kindreds, of all the princes of the tribes, twelve rods, and write the name of every man upon his rod. + +** Numbers 17:3 + +And the name of Aaron shall be for the tribe of Levi, and one rod shall contain all their families: + +** Numbers 17:4 + +And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the covenant before the testimony, where I will speak to thee. + +** Numbers 17:5 + +Whomsoever of these I shall choose, his rod shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, wherewith they murmur against you. + +** Numbers 17:6 + +And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and all the princes gave him rods one for every tribe: and there were twelve rods besides the rod of Aaron. + +** Numbers 17:7 + +And when Moses had Laid them up before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony: + +** Numbers 17:8 + +He returned on the following day, and found that the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi, was budded: and that the buds swelling it hid bloomed blossoms, which spreading the leaves, were formed into almonds. + +** Numbers 17:9 + +Moses therefore brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel: and they saw, and every one received their rods. + +** Numbers 17:10 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Carry back the rod of Aaron into the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be kept there for a token of the rebellious children of Israel, and that their complaints may cease from me lest they die. + +** Numbers 17:11 + +And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. + +** Numbers 17:12 + +And the children of Israel said to Moses: Behold we are consumed, we all perish. + +** Numbers 17:13 + +Whosoever approacheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, he dieth. Are we all to a man to be utterly destroyed? + +* Numbers 18 + +** Numbers 18:1 + +And the Lord said to Aaron: Thou, and thy sons, and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the sins of your priesthood. + +** Numbers 18:2 + +And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony. + +** Numbers 18:3 + +And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them. + +** Numbers 18:4 + +But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with you. + +** Numbers 18:5 + +Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel. + +** Numbers 18:6 + +I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle. + +** Numbers 18:7 + +But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests.

All things that are sanctified by the children of Israel, I have delivered to thee and to thy sons for the priestly office, by everlasting ordinances. + +** Numbers 18:9 + +These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatsoever is rendered to me for sin and for trespass, and becometh holy of holies, shall be for thee and thy sons. + +** Numbers 18:10 + +Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee. + +** Numbers 18:11 + +But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them. + +** Numbers 18:12 + +All the best of the oil, and of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee. + +** Numbers 18:13 + +All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them. + +** Numbers 18:14 + +Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine. + +** Numbers 18:15 + +Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed, + +** Numbers 18:16 + +And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary.

Wherefore Israel turned another way from him. + +** Numbers 20:22 + +And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Hor, which is in the borders of the land of Edom: + +** Numbers 20:23 + +Where the Lord spoke to Moses: + +** Numbers 20:24 + +Let Aaron, saith he, go to his people: for he shall not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because he was incredulous to my words, at the waters of contradiction. + +** Numbers 20:25 + +Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor: + +** Numbers 20:26 + +And when thou hast stripped the father of his vesture, thou shalt vest therewith Eleazar his son: Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and die there. + +** Numbers 20:27 + +Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude. + +** Numbers 20:28 + +And when he had stripped Aaron of his vestments, he vested Eleazar his son with them. + +** Numbers 20:29 + +And Aaron being dead in the top of the mountain, he came down with Eleazar. + +** Numbers 20:30 + +And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families. + +* Numbers 21 + +** Numbers 21:1 + +And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils. + +** Numbers 21:2 + +But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: If thou wilt deliver thus people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities. + +** Numbers 21:3 + +And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema. + +** Numbers 21:4 + +And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour: + +** Numbers 21:5 + +And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food. + +** Numbers 21:6 + +Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them. + +** Numbers 21:7 + +Upon which they came to Moses, and said; We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. + +** Numbers 21:8 + +And the Lord said to him: Make a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live. + +** Numbers 21:9 + +Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed. + +** Numbers 21:10 + +And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth. + +** Numbers 21:11 + +And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east. + +** Numbers 21:12 + +And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared: + +** Numbers 21:13 + +Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites. + +** Numbers 21:14 + +Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Arnon. + +** Numbers 21:15 + +The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites. + +** Numbers 21:16 + +When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water. + +** Numbers 21:17 + +Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto: + +** Numbers 21:18 + +The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana. + +** Numbers 21:19 + +From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth. + +** Numbers 21:20 + +From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert. + +** Numbers 21:21 + +And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying: + +** Numbers 21:22 + +I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king's highway, till we be past thy borders. + +** Numbers 21:23 + +And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa and fought against them. + +** Numbers 21:24 + +And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison. + +** Numbers 21:25 + +So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof. + +** Numbers 21:26 + +Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominion, as far as the Arnon. + +** Numbers 21:27 + +Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up: + +** Numbers 21:28 + +A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon. + +** Numbers 21:29 + +Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites. + +** Numbers 21:30 + +Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba. + +** Numbers 21:31 + +So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite. + +** Numbers 21:32 + +And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants. + +** Numbers 21:33 + +And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai. + +** Numbers 21:34 + +And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon. + +** Numbers 21:35 + +So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land. + +* Numbers 22 + +** Numbers 22:1 + +And they went forward and encamped in the plains of Moab, over against where Jericho is situate beyond the Jordan. + +** Numbers 22:2 + +And Balac the son of Sephor, seeing all that Israel had done to the Amorrhite, + +** Numbers 22:3 + +And that the Moabites were in great fear of him, and were not able to sustain his assault, + +** Numbers 22:4 + +He said to the elders of Madian: So will this people destroy all that dwell in our borders, as the ox is wont to eat the grass to the very roots. Now he was at that time king in Moab. + +** Numbers 22:5 + +He sent therefore messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, a soothsayer, who dwelt by the river of the land of the children of Ammon, to call him, and to say: Behold a people is come out of Egypt, that hath covered the face of the earth, sitting over against me. + +** Numbers 22:6 + +Come therefore, and curse this people, because it is mightier than I: if by any means I may beat them and drive them out of my land: for I know that he whom thou shalt bless is blessed, and he whom thou shalt curse is cursed. + +** Numbers 22:7 + +And the ancients of Moab, and the elders of Madian, went with the price of divination in their hands. And where they were come to Balaam, and had told him all the words of Balac: + +** Numbers 22:8 + +He answered: Tarry here this night and I will answer whatsoever the Lord shall say to me. And while they stayed with Balaam, God came and said to him: + +** Numbers 22:9 + +What mean these men that are with thee? + +** Numbers 22:10 + +He answered: Balac the son of Sephor king of the Moabites hath sent to me, + +** Numbers 22:11 + +Saying: Behold a people that is come out of Egypt, hath covered the face of the land: come and curse them, if by any means I may fight with them and drive them away. + +** Numbers 22:12 + +And God said to Balaam: Thou shalt not go with them, nor shalt thou curse the people: because it is blessed. + +** Numbers 22:13 + +And he rose in the morning and said to the princes: Go into your country, because the Lord hath forbid me to come with you. + +** Numbers 22:14 + +The princes returning, said to Balac: Balaam would not come with us. + +** Numbers 22:15 + +Then he sent many more and more noble than he had sent before: + +** Numbers 22:16 + +Who, when they were come to Balaam, said: Thus saith Balac the son of Sephor, Delay not to come to me: + +** Numbers 22:17 + +For I am ready to honour thee, and will give thee whatsoever thou wilt: come and curse this people. + +** Numbers 22:18 + +Balaam answered: If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot alter the word of the Lord my God, to speak either more or less. + +** Numbers 22:19 + +I pray you to stay here this night also, that I may know what the Lord will answer me once more. + +** Numbers 22:20 + +God therefore came to Balaam in the night, and said to him: If these men be come to call thee, arise and go with them: yet so, that thou do what I shall command thee. + +** Numbers 22:21 + +Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them. + +** Numbers 22:22 + +And God was angry. And an angel of the Lord stood in the way against Balaam, who sat on the ass, and had two servants with him. + +** Numbers 22:23 + +The ass seeing the angel standing in the way, with a drawn sword, turned herself out of the way, and went into the field. And when Balaam beat her, and had a mind to bring her again to the way, + +** Numbers 22:24 + +The angel stood in a narrow place between two walls, wherewith the vineyards were enclosed. + +** Numbers 22:25 + +And the ass seeing him, thrust herself close to the wall, and bruised the foot of the rider. But he beat her again: + +** Numbers 22:26 + +And nevertheless the angel going on to a narrow place, where there was no way to turn aside either to the right hand or to the left, stood to meet him. + +** Numbers 22:27 + +And when the ass saw the angel standing, she fell under the feet of the rider: who being angry beat her sides more vehemently with a staff. + +** Numbers 22:28 + +And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said: What have I done to thee? Why strikest thou me, lo, now this third time? + +** Numbers 22:29 + +Balaam answered: Because thou hast deserved it, and hast served me ill: I would I had a sword that I might kill thee. + +** Numbers 22:30 + +The ass said: Am not I thy beast, on which thou hast been always accustomed to ride until this present day? tell me if I ever did the like thing to thee. But he said: Never. + +** Numbers 22:31 + +Forthwith the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel standing in the way with a drawn sword, and he worshipped him falling flat on the ground. + +** Numbers 22:32 + +And the angel said to him: Why beatest thou thy ass these three times? I am come to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse, and contrary to me: + +** Numbers 22:33 + +And unless the ass had turned out of the way, giving place to me who stood against thee, I had slain thee, and she should have lived. + +** Numbers 22:34 + +Balaam said: I have sinned, not knowing that thou didst stand against me: and now if it displease thee that I go, I will return. + +** Numbers 22:35 + +The angel said: Go with these men, and see thou speak no other thing than what I shall command thee. He went therefore with the princes. + +** Numbers 22:36 + +And when Balac heard it he came forth to meet him in a town of the Moabites, that is situate in the uttermost borders of Arnon. + +** Numbers 22:37 + +And he said to Balaam: I sent messengers to call thee, why didst thou not come immediately to me? was it because I am not able to reward thy coming? + +** Numbers 22:38 + +He answered him: Lo, here I am: shall I have power to speak any other thing but that which God shall put in my mouth? + +** Numbers 22:39 + +So they went on together, and came into a city, that was in the uttermost borders of his kingdom. + +** Numbers 22:40 + +And when Balac had killed oxen and sheep, he sent presents to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. + +** Numbers 22:41 + +And when morning was come, he brought him to the high places of Baal, and he beheld the uttermost part of the people. + +* Numbers 23 + +** Numbers 23:1 + +And Balaam said to Balac: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams. + +** Numbers 23:2 + +And when he had done according to the word of Balaam, they laid together a calf and a ram upon every altar. + +** Numbers 23:3 + +And Balaam said to Balac: Stand a while by thy burnt offering, until I go, to see if perhaps the Lord will meet me, and whatsoever he shall command, I will speak to thee. + +** Numbers 23:4 + +And when he was gone with speed, God met him. And Balaam speaking to him, said: I have erected seven altars, and have laid on everyone a calf and a ram. + +** Numbers 23:5 + +And the Lord put the word in his mouth, and said: Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou speak. + +** Numbers 23:6 + +Returning he found Balac standing by his burnt offering, with all the princes of the Moabites: + +** Numbers 23:7 + +And taking up his parable, he said: Balac king of the Moabites hath brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east: Come, said he, and curse Jacob: make haste and detest Israel. + +** Numbers 23:8 + +How shall I curse him, whom God hath not cursed? By what means should I detest him, whom the Lord detesteth not? + +** Numbers 23:9 + +I shall see him from the tops of the rocks, and shall consider him from the hills. This people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. + +** Numbers 23:10 + +Who can count the dust of Jacob, and know the number of the stock of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the just, and my last end be like to them. + +** Numbers 23:11 + +And Balac said to Balaam: What is this that thou dost? I sent for thee to curse my enemies: and thou contrariwise blessest them. + +** Numbers 23:12 + +He answered him: Can I speak any thing else but what the Lord commandeth? + +** Numbers 23:13 + +Balac therefore said: Come with me to another place from whence thou mayest see part of Israel, and canst not see them all: curse them from thence. + +** Numbers 23:14 + +And when he had brought him to a high place, upon the top of mount Phasga, Balaam built seven altars, and laying on every one a calf and a ram, + +** Numbers 23:15 + +He said to Balac: Stand here by thy burnt offering while I go to meet him. + +** Numbers 23:16 + +And when the Lord had met him, and had put the word in his mouth, he said: Return to Balac, and thus shalt thou say to him. + +** Numbers 23:17 + +Returning he found him standing by his burnt sacrifice, and the princes of the Moabites with him. And Balac said to him: What hath the Lord spoken? + +** Numbers 23:18 + +But he taking up his parable, said: Stand, O Balac, and give ear: hear, thou son of Sephor: + +** Numbers 23:19 + +God is not a man, that he should lie, nor is the son of man, that he should be changed. Hath he said then, and will he not do? hath he spoken, and will he not fulfil? + +** Numbers 23:20 + +I was brought to bless, the blessing I am not able to hinder. + +** Numbers 23:21 + +There is no idol in Jacob, neither is there an image god to be seen in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the sound of the victory of the king in him. + +** Numbers 23:22 + +God hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros. + +** Numbers 23:23 + +There is no soothsaying in Jacob, nor divination in Israel. In their times it shall be told to Jacob and to Israel what God hath wrought. + +** Numbers 23:24 + +Behold the people shall rise up as a lioness, and shall lift itself up as a lion: it shall not lie down till it devour the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. + +** Numbers 23:25 + +And Balac said to Balaam: Neither curse, nor bless him. + +** Numbers 23:26 + +And he said: Did I not tell thee, that whatsoever God should command me, that I would do? + +** Numbers 23:27 + +And Balac said to him: Come and I will bring thee to another place; if peradventure it please God that thou mayest curse them from thence. + +** Numbers 23:28 + +And when he had brought him upon the top of mount Phogor, which looketh towards the wilderness, + +** Numbers 23:29 + +Balaam said to him: Build me here seven altars, and prepare as many calves, and the same number of rams. + +** Numbers 23:30 + +Balac did as Balaam had said: and he laid on every altar, a calf and a ram. + +* Numbers 24 + +** Numbers 24:1 + +And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord that he should bless Israel, he went not as he had gone before, to seek divination: but setting his face towards the desert, + +** Numbers 24:2 + +And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel abiding in their tents by their tribes: and the spirit of God rushing upon him, + +** Numbers 24:3 + +He took up his parable and said: Balaam the son of Beor hath said: The man hath said, whose eye is stopped up: + +** Numbers 24:4 + +The bearer of the words of God hath said, he that hath beheld the vision of the Almighty, he that falleth, and so his eyes are opened: + +** Numbers 24:5 + +How beautiful are thy tabernacles O Jacob, and thy tents, O Israel! + +** Numbers 24:6 + +As woody valleys, as watered gardens near the rivers, as tabernacles which the Lord hath pitched, as cedars by the waterside. + +** Numbers 24:7 + +Water shall flow out of his bucket, and his seed shall be in many waters. For Agag his king shall be removed, and his kingdom shall be taken away. + +** Numbers 24:8 + +God hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros. They shall devour the nations that are his enemies, and break their bones, and pierce them with arrows. + +** Numbers 24:9 + +Lying down he hath slept as a lion, and as a lioness, whom none shall dare to rouse. He that blesseth thee, shall also himself be blessed: he that curseth thee shall be reckoned accursed. + +** Numbers 24:10 + +And Balac being angry against Balaam, clapped his hands together and said: I called thee to curse my enemies, and thou on the contrary hast blessed them three times. + +** Numbers 24:11 + +Return to thy place. I had determined indeed greatly to honour thee, but the Lord hath deprived thee of the honour designed for thee. + +** Numbers 24:12 + +Balaam made answer to Balac: Did I not say to thy messengers, whom thou sentest to me: + +** Numbers 24:13 + +If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to utter any thing of my own head either good or evil: but whatsoever the Lord shall say, that I will speak? + +** Numbers 24:14 + +But yet going to my people, I will give thee counsel, what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. + +** Numbers 24:15 + +Therefore taking up his parable, again he said: Balaam the son of Beor hath said: The man whose eye is stopped up, hath said: + +** Numbers 24:16 + +The hearer of the words of God hath said, who knoweth the doctrine of the Highest, and seeth the visions of the Almighty, who falling hath his eyes opened: + +** Numbers 24:17 + +I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near. A STAR SHALL RISE out of Jacob and a sceptre shall spring up from Israel: and shall strike the chiefs of Moab, and shall waste all the children of Seth + +** Numbers 24:18 + +And he shall possess Idumea: the inheritance of Seir shall come to their enemies, but Israel shall do manfully. + +** Numbers 24:19 + +Out of Jacob shall he come that shall rule, and shall destroy the remains of the city. + +** Numbers 24:20 + +And when he saw Amalec, he took up his parable, and said: Amalec the beginning of nations, whose latter ends shall be destroyed. + +** Numbers 24:21 + +He saw also the Cinite: and took up his parable, and said: Thy habitation indeed is strong: but though thou build thy nest in a rock, + +** Numbers 24:22 + +And thou be chosen of the stock of Cin, how long shalt thou be able to continue? For Assur shall take thee captive. + +** Numbers 24:23 + +And taking up his parable, again he said: Alas, who shall live when God shall do these things? + +** Numbers 24:24 + +They shall come in galleys from Italy, they shall overcome the Assyrians, and shall waste the Hebrews, and at the last they themselves also shall perish. + +** Numbers 24:25 + +And Balaam rose, and returned to his place: Balac also returned the way that he came. + +* Numbers 25 + +** Numbers 25:1 + +And Israel at that time abode in Settim, and the people committed fornication with the daughters of Moab, + +** Numbers 25:2 + +Who called them to their sacrifices. And they ate of them, and adored their gods. + +** Numbers 25:3 + +And Israel was initiated to Beelphegor: upon which the Lord being angry, + +** Numbers 25:4 + +Said to Moses: Take all the princes of the people, and hang them up on gibbets against the sun: that my fury may be turned away from Israel. + +** Numbers 25:5 + +And Moses said to the judges of Israel: Let every man kill his neighbours, that have been initiated to Beelphegor. + +** Numbers 25:6 + +And behold one of the children of Israel went in before his brethren to a harlot of Madian, in the sight of Moses and of all the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle. + +** Numbers 25:7 + +And when Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest saw it, he rose up from the midst of the multitude, and taking a dagger, + +** Numbers 25:8 + +Went in after the Israelite into the brothel house, and thrust both of them through together, to wit, the man and the woman in the genital parts. And the scourge ceased from the children of Israel. + +** Numbers 25:9 + +And there were slain four and twenty thousand men. + +** Numbers 25:10 + +And the Lord said to Moses: + +** Numbers 25:11 + +Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned away my wrath from the children of Israel: because he was moved with my zeal against them, that I myself might not destroy the children of Israel in my zeal. + +** Numbers 25:12 + +Therefore say to him: behold I give him the peace of my covenant, + +** Numbers 25:13 + +And the covenant of the priesthood for ever shall be both to him and his seed, because he hath been zealous for his God, and hath made atonement for the wickedness of the children of Israel. + +** Numbers 25:14 + +And the name of the Israelite, that was slain with the woman of Madian, was Zambri the son of Salu, a prince of the kindred and tribe of Simeon. + +** Numbers 25:15 + +And the Madianite woman, that was slain with him, was called Cozbi the daughter of Sur, a most noble prince among the Madianites. + +** Numbers 25:16 + +And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: + +** Numbers 25:17 + +Let the Madianites find you their enemies, and slay you them: + +** Numbers 25:18 + +Because they also have acted like enemies against you, and have guilefully deceived you by the idol Phogor, and Cozbi their sister, a daughter of a prince of Madian, who was slain in the day of the plague for the sacrilege of Phogor. + +* Numbers 26 + +** Numbers 26:1 + +After the blood of the guilty was shed, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron, the priest: + +** Numbers 26:2 + +Number the whole sum of the children of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their houses and kindreds, all that are able to go forth to war. + +** Numbers 26:3 + +Moses therefore and Eleazar the priest, being in the plains of Moab upon the Jordan over against Jericho, spoke to them that were + +** Numbers 26:4 + +From twenty years old and upward, as the Lord had commanded: and this is the number of them: + +** Numbers 26:5 + +Ruben the firstborn of Israel. His sons were Henoch, of whom is the family of the Henochites: and Phallu, of whom is the family of the Phalluites: + +** Numbers 26:6 + +And Hesron, of whom is the family of the Hesronites: and Charmi, of whom is the family of the Charmites. + +** Numbers 26:7 + +These are the families of the stock of Ruben: whose number was found to be forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty. + +** Numbers 26:8 + +The son of Phallu was Eliab. + +** Numbers 26:9 + +His sons, were Namuel and Dathan and Abiron. These are Dathan and Abiron the princes of the people, that rose against Moses and Aaron in the sedition of Core, when they rebelled against the Lord: + +** Numbers 26:10 + +And the earth opening her mouth swallowed up Core, many others dying, when the fire burned two hundred and fifty men.

And behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting. + +** Revelation of John 4:3 + +And he that sat was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. + +** Revelation of John 4:4 + +And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments.

And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces and adored him that liveth for ever and ever. + +* Revelation of John 6 + +** Revelation of John 6:1 + +And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals: and I heard one of the four living creatures, as it were the voice of thunder, saying: Come and see. + +** Revelation of John 6:2 + +And I saw: and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and there was a crown given him, and he went forth conquering that he might conquer. + +** Revelation of John 6:3 + +And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: Come and see. + +** Revelation of John 6:4 + +And there went out another horse that was red. And to him that sat thereon, it was given that he should take peace from the earth: and that they should kill one another. And a great sword was given to him. + +** Revelation of John 6:5 + +And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: Come and see. And behold a black horse. And he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand. + +** Revelation of John 6:6 + +And I heard, as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying: Two pounds of wheat for a penny, and thrice two pounds of barley for a penny: and see thou hurt not the wine and the oil. + +** Revelation of John 6:7 + +And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: Come and see. + +** Revelation of John 6:8 + +And behold a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death. And hell followed him. And power was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine and with death and with the beasts of the earth. + +** Revelation of John 6:9 + +And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. + +** Revelation of John 6:10 + +And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? + +** Revelation of John 6:11 + +And white robes were given to every one of them one; And it was said to them that they should rest for a little time till their fellow servants and their brethren, who are to be slain even as they, should be filled up. + +** Revelation of John 6:12 + +And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal: and behold there was a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair: and the whole moon became as blood. + +** Revelation of John 6:13 + +And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, as the fig tree casteth its green figs when it is shaken by a great wind. + +** Revelation of John 6:14 + +And the heaven departed as a book folded up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved out of their places. + +** Revelation of John 6:15 + +And the kings of the earth and the princes and tribunes and the rich and the strong and every bondman and every freeman hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains: + +** Revelation of John 6:16 + +And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. + +** Revelation of John 6:17 + +For the great day of their wrath is come. And who shall be able to stand? + +* Revelation of John 7 + +** Revelation of John 7:1 + +After these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not blow upon the earth nor upon the sea nor on any tree. + +** Revelation of John 7:2 + +And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the sign of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, + +** Revelation of John 7:3 + +Saying: Hurt not the earth nor the sea nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads. + +** Revelation of John 7:4 + +And I heard the number of them that were signed. An hundred forty-four thousand were signed, of every tribe of the children of Israel. + +** Revelation of John 7:5 + +Of the tribe of Juda, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Ruben, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand signed: + +** Revelation of John 7:6 + +Of the tribe of Aser, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Nephthali, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Manasses, twelve thousand signed: + +** Revelation of John 7:7 + +Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand signed: + +** Revelation of John 7:8 + +Of the tribe of Zabulon, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand signed. + +** Revelation of John 7:9 + +After this, I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands. + +** Revelation of John 7:10 + +And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne and to the Lamb. + +** Revelation of John 7:11 + +And all the angels stood round about the throne and the ancients and the four living creatures. And they fell down before the throne upon their faces and adored God, + +** Revelation of John 7:12 + +Saying: Amen. Benediction and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, honour and power and strength, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen. + +** Revelation of John 7:13 + +And one of the ancients answered and said to me: These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? And whence came they? + +** Revelation of John 7:14 + +And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who are come out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. + +** Revelation of John 7:15 + +Therefore, they are before the throne of God: and they serve him day and night in his temple. And he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell over them. + +** Revelation of John 7:16 + +They shall no more hunger nor thirst: neither shall the sun fall on them, nor any heat. + +** Revelation of John 7:17 + +For the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall rule them and shall lead them to the fountains of the waters of life: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. + +* Revelation of John 8 + +** Revelation of John 8:1 + +And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour. + +** Revelation of John 8:2 + +And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God: and there were given to them seven trumpets. + +** Revelation of John 8:3 + +And another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer: and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints, upon the golden altar which is before the throne of God. + +** Revelation of John 8:4 + +And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel. + +** Revelation of John 8:5 + +And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar and cast it on the earth: and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquake. + +** Revelation of John 8:6 + +And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound the trumpet. + +** Revelation of John 8:7 + +And the first angel sounded the trumpet: and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood: and it was cast on the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt up: and the third part of the trees was burnt up: and all green grass was burnt up. + +** Revelation of John 8:8 + +And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and, as it were, a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood. + +** Revelation of John 8:9 + +And the third part of those creatures died which had life in the sea: and the third part of the ships was destroyed. + +** Revelation of John 8:10 + +And the third angel sounded the trumpet: and a great star fell from heaven, burning as it were a torch. And it fell on the third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters: + +** Revelation of John 8:11 + +And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood. And many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. + +** Revelation of John 8:12 + +And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it: and the night in like manner. + +** Revelation of John 8:13 + +And I beheld: and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, Woe, Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, by reason of the rest of the voices of the three angels, who are yet to sound the trumpet! + +* Revelation of John 9 + +** Revelation of John 9:1 + +And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet: and I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth. And there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit. + +** Revelation of John 9:2 + +And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit. + +** Revelation of John 9:3 + +And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. + +** Revelation of John 9:4 + +And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads. + +** Revelation of John 9:5 + +And it was given unto them that they should not kill them: but that they should torment them five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. + +** Revelation of John 9:6 + +And in those days, men shall seek death and shall not find it. And they shall desire to die: and death shall fly from them. + +** Revelation of John 9:7 + +And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle. And on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold: and their faces were as the faces of men. + +** Revelation of John 9:8 + +And they had hair as the hair of women: and their teeth were as lions. + +** Revelation of John 9:9 + +And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron: and the noise of their wings was as the noise of chariots and many horses running to battle. + +** Revelation of John 9:10 + +And they had tails like to scorpions: and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men, five months. And they had over them + +** Revelation of John 9:11 + +A king, the angel of the bottomless pit (whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon, in Latin Exterminans). + +** Revelation of John 9:12 + +One woe is past: and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter. + +** Revelation of John 9:13 + +And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before the eyes of God, + +** Revelation of John 9:14 + +Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates. + +** Revelation of John 9:15 + +And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year: for to kill the third part of men. + +** Revelation of John 9:16 + +And the number of the army of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them. + +** Revelation of John 9:17 + +And thus I saw the horses in the vision. And they that sat on them had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone. + +** Revelation of John 9:18 + +And by these three plagues was slain the third part of men, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths. + +** Revelation of John 9:19 + +For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For, their tails are like to serpents and have heads: and with them they hurt. + +** Revelation of John 9:20 + +And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk: + +** Revelation of John 9:21 + +Neither did they penance from their murders nor from their sorceries nor from their fornication nor from their thefts. + +* Revelation of John 10 + +** Revelation of John 10:1 + +And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud.

And he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth. + +** Revelation of John 10:3 + +And he cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. + +** Revelation of John 10:4 + +And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Seal up the things which the seven thunders have spoken. And write them not. + +** Revelation of John 10:5 + +And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven. + +** Revelation of John 10:6 + +And he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and the things which are therein, and the earth and the things which are in it, and the sea and the things which are therein: That time shall be no longer. + +** Revelation of John 10:7 + +But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he hath declared by his servants the prophets. + +** Revelation of John 10:8 + +And I heard a voice from heaven, again speaking to me and saying: Go and take the book that is open, from the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. + +** Revelation of John 10:9 + +And I went to the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the book. And he said to me: Take the book and eat it up. And it shall make thy belly bitter: but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. + +** Revelation of John 10:10 + +And I took the book from the hand of the angel and ate it up: and it was in my mouth, sweet as honey. And when I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. + +** Revelation of John 10:11 + +And he said to me: Thou must prophesy again to many nations and peoples and tongues and kings. + +* Revelation of John 11 + +** Revelation of John 11:1 + +And there was given me a reed, like unto a rod. And it was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God and the altar and them that adore therein. + +** Revelation of John 11:2 + +But the court which is without the temple, cast out and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles. And the holy city they shall tread under foot, two and forty months: + +** Revelation of John 11:3 + +And I will give unto my two witnesses: and they shall prophesy, a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. + +** Revelation of John 11:4 + +These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks that stand before the Lord of the earth. + +** Revelation of John 11:5 + +And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain. + +** Revelation of John 11:6 + +These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: And they have power over waters, to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. + +** Revelation of John 11:7 + +And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the abyss shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them. + +** Revelation of John 11:8 + +And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt: where their Lord also was crucified. + +** Revelation of John 11:9 + +And they of the tribes and peoples and tongues and nations shall see their bodies for three days and a half: and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid in sepulchres. + +** Revelation of John 11:10 + +And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth. + +** Revelation of John 11:11 + +And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upon their feet: and great fear fell upon them that saw them. + +** Revelation of John 11:12 + +And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them: Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies saw them. + +** Revelation of John 11:13 + +And at that hour there was made a great earthquake: and the tenth part of the city fell. And there were slain in the earthquake, names of men, seven thousand: and the rest were cast into a fear and gave glory to the God of heaven. + +** Revelation of John 11:14 + +The second woe is past: and behold the third woe will come quickly. + +** Revelation of John 11:15 + +And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet: and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of this world is become our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen. + +** Revelation of John 11:16 + +And the four and twenty ancients who sit on their seats in the sight of God, fell on their faces and adored God, saying: + +** Revelation of John 11:17 + +We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast and who art to come: because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and thou hast reigned. + +** Revelation of John 11:18 + +And the nations were angry: and thy wrath is come.

And there were lightnings and voices and an earthquake and great hail. + +* Revelation of John 12 + +** Revelation of John 12:1 + +And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. + +** Revelation of John 12:2 + +And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in pain to be delivered. + +** Revelation of John 12:3 + +And there was seen another sign in heaven. And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and on his heads seven diadems. + +** Revelation of John 12:4 + +And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered: that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son. + +** Revelation of John 12:5 + +And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken up to God and to his throne. + +** Revelation of John 12:6 + +And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her, a thousand two hundred sixty days. + +** Revelation of John 12:7 + +And there was a great battle in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought, and his angels. + +** Revelation of John 12:8 + +And they prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. + +** Revelation of John 12:9 + +And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world. And he was cast unto the earth: and his angels were thrown down with him. + +** Revelation of John 12:10 + +And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night. + +** Revelation of John 12:11 + +And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of the testimony: and they loved not their lives unto death. + +** Revelation of John 12:12 + +Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. + +** Revelation of John 12:13 + +And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man child. + +** Revelation of John 12:14 + +And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. + +** Revelation of John 12:15 + +And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water, as it were a river: that he might cause her to be carried away by the river. + +** Revelation of John 12:16 + +And the earth helped the woman: and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. + +** Revelation of John 12:17 + +And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. + +** Revelation of John 12:18 + +And he stood upon the sand of the sea. + +* Revelation of John 13 + +** Revelation of John 13:1 + +And I saw a beast coming up out the sea, having seven heads and ten horns: and upon his horns, ten diadems: and upon his heads, names of blasphemy. + +** Revelation of John 13:2 + +And the beast which I saw was like to a leopard: and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength and great power. + +** Revelation of John 13:3 + +And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death's wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast. + +** Revelation of John 13:4 + +And they adored the dragon which gave power to the beast. And they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? And who shall be able to fight with him? + +** Revelation of John 13:5 + +And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months. + +** Revelation of John 13:6 + +And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven. + +** Revelation of John 13:7 + +And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. + +** Revelation of John 13:8 + +And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world. + +** Revelation of John 13:9 + +If any man have an ear, let him hear. + +** Revelation of John 13:10 + +He that shall lead into captivity shall go into captivity: he that shall kill by the sword must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. + +** Revelation of John 13:11 + +And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth: and he had two horns, like a lamb: and he spoke as a dragon. + +** Revelation of John 13:12 + +And he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight. And he caused the earth and them that dwell therein to adore the first beast, whose wound to death was healed. + +** Revelation of John 13:13 + +And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth, in the sight of men. + +** Revelation of John 13:14 + +And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which had the wound by the sword and lived. + +** Revelation of John 13:15 + +And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain. + +** Revelation of John 13:16 + +And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand or on their foreheads: + +** Revelation of John 13:17 + +And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. + +** Revelation of John 13:18 + +Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. + +* Revelation of John 14 + +** Revelation of John 14:1 + +And I beheld: and lo a Lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. + +** Revelation of John 14:2 + +And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many waters and as the voice of great thunder. And the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers, harping on their harps. + +** Revelation of John 14:3 + +And they sung as it were a new canticle, before the throne and before the four living creatures and the ancients: and no man could say the canticle, but those hundred forty-four thousand who were purchased from the earth. + +** Revelation of John 14:4 + +These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins. These follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. + +** Revelation of John 14:5 + +And in their mouth there was found no lie: for they are without spot before the throne of God. + +** Revelation of John 14:6 + +And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth and over every nation and tribe and tongue and people: + +** Revelation of John 14:7 + +Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord and give him honour, because the hour of his judgment is come. And adore ye him that made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of waters. + +** Revelation of John 14:8 + +And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. + +** Revelation of John 14:9 + +And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image and receive his character in his forehead or in his hand, + +** Revelation of John 14:10 + +He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath: and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. + +** Revelation of John 14:11 + +And the smoke of their torments, shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast and his image and whoever receiveth the character of his name. + +** Revelation of John 14:12 + +Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. + +** Revelation of John 14:13 + +And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours. For their works follow them. + +** Revelation of John 14:14 + +And I saw: and behold a white cloud and upon the cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold and in his hand a sharp sickle. + +** Revelation of John 14:15 + +And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle and reap, because the hour is come to reap. For the harvest of the earth is ripe. + +** Revelation of John 14:16 + +And he that sat on the cloud thrust his sickle into the earth: and the earth was reaped. + +** Revelation of John 14:17 + +And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. + +** Revelation of John 14:18 + +And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire. And he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth, because the grapes thereof are ripe. + +** Revelation of John 14:19 + +And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the earth and gathered the vineyard of the earth and cast it into the great press of the wrath of God: + +** Revelation of John 14:20 + +And the press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the press, up to the horses' bridles, for a thousand and six hundred furlongs. + +* Revelation of John 15 + +** Revelation of John 15:1 + +And I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful: seven angels having the seven last plagues. For in them is filled up the wrath of God. + +** Revelation of John 15:2 + +And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had overcome the beast and his image and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having the harps of God: + +** Revelation of John 15:3 + +And singing the canticle of Moses, the servant of God, and the canticle of the Lamb, saying: Great and wonderful are thy works, O Lord God Almighty. Just and true are thy ways, O King of ages. + +** Revelation of John 15:4 + +Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and magnify thy name? For thou only art holy. For all nations shall come and shall adore in thy sight, because thy judgments are manifest. + +** Revelation of John 15:5 + +And after these things, I looked: and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. + +** Revelation of John 15:6 + +And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed with clean and white linen and girt about the breasts with golden girdles. + +** Revelation of John 15:7 + +And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. + +** Revelation of John 15:8 + +And the temple was filled with smoke from the majesty of God and from his power. And no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. + +* Revelation of John 16 + +** Revelation of John 16:1 + +And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out the seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. + +** Revelation of John 16:2 + +And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth. And there fell a sore and grievous wound upon men who had the character of the beast: and upon them that adored the image thereof. + +** Revelation of John 16:3 + +And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea. And there came blood as it were of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. + +** Revelation of John 16:4 + +And the third poured out his vial upon the rivers and the fountains of waters. And there was made blood. + +** Revelation of John 16:5 + +And I heard the angel of the waters saying: Thou art just, O Lord, who art and who wast, the Holy One, because thou hast judged these things. + +** Revelation of John 16:6 + +For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets: and thou hast given them blood to drink. For they are worthy. + +** Revelation of John 16:7 + +And I heard another, from the altar, saying: Yea, O Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments. + +** Revelation of John 16:8 + +And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun. And it was given unto him to afflict men with heat and fire. + +** Revelation of John 16:9 + +And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues. Neither did they penance to give him glory. + +** Revelation of John 16:10 + +And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast. And his kingdom became dark: and they gnawed their tongues for pain. + +** Revelation of John 16:11 + +And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and wounds: and did not penance for their works. + +** Revelation of John 16:12 + +And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon that great river Euphrates and dried up the water thereof, that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun. + +** Revelation of John 16:13 + +And I saw from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. + +** Revelation of John 16:14 + +For they are the spirits of devils, working signs: and they go forth unto the kings of the whole earth, to gather them to battle against the great day of the Almighty God. + +** Revelation of John 16:15 + +Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. + +** Revelation of John 16:16 + +And he shall gather them together into a place which in Hebrew is called Armagedon. + +** Revelation of John 16:17 + +And the seventh angel poured out his vial upon the air. And there came a great voice out of the temple from the throne, saying: It is done. + +** Revelation of John 16:18 + +And there were lightnings and voices and thunders: and there was a great earthquake, such an one as never had been since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great. + +** Revelation of John 16:19 + +And the great city was divided into three parts: and the cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath. + +** Revelation of John 16:20 + +And every island fled away: and the mountains were not found. + +** Revelation of John 16:21 + +And great hail, like a talent, came down from heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God, for the plague of the hail: because it was exceeding great. + +* Revelation of John 17 + +** Revelation of John 17:1 + +And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters: + +** Revelation of John 17:2 + +With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication. And they who inhabit the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her whoredom. + +** Revelation of John 17:3 + +And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. + +** Revelation of John 17:4 + +And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication. + +** Revelation of John 17:5 + +And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery: Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications and the abominations of the earth. + +** Revelation of John 17:6 + +And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration. + +** Revelation of John 17:7 + +And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. + +** Revelation of John 17:8 + +The beast which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit and go into destruction. And the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was and is not. + +** Revelation of John 17:9 + +And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth: and they are seven kings. + +** Revelation of John 17:10 + +Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time. + +** Revelation of John 17:11 + +And the beast which was and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into destruction. + +** Revelation of John 17:12 + +And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom: but shall receive power as kings, one hour after the beast. + +** Revelation of John 17:13 + +These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast. + +** Revelation of John 17:14 + +These shall fight with the Lamb. And the Lamb shall overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings: and they that are with him are called and elect and faithful. + +** Revelation of John 17:15 + +And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples and nations and tongues. + +** Revelation of John 17:16 + +And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: These shall hate the harlot and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and shall burn her with fire. + +** Revelation of John 17:17 + +For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled. + +** Revelation of John 17:18 + +And the woman which thou sawest is the great city which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth. + +* Revelation of John 18 + +** Revelation of John 18:1 + +And after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was enlightened with his glory. + +** Revelation of John 18:2 + +And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen: and is become the habitation of devils and the hold of every unclean spirit and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird: + +** Revelation of John 18:3 + +Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication: and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; And the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies. + +** Revelation of John 18:4 + +And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues. + +** Revelation of John 18:5 + +For her sins have reached unto heaven: and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities. + +** Revelation of John 18:6 + +Render to her as she also hath rendered to you: and double unto her double, according to her works. In the cup wherein she hath mingled, mingle ye double unto her. + +** Revelation of John 18:7 + +As much as she hath glorified herself and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her. Because she saith in her heart: I sit a queen and am no widow: and sorrow I shall not see. + +** Revelation of John 18:8 + +Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine. And she shall be burnt with the fire: because God is strong, who shall judge her. + +** Revelation of John 18:9 + +And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived in delicacies with her, shall weep and bewail themselves over her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning: + +** Revelation of John 18:10 + +Standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come. + +** Revelation of John 18:11 + +And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her: for no man shall buy their merchandise any more. + +** Revelation of John 18:12 + +Merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones: and of pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet: and all thyine wood: and all manner of vessels of ivory: and all manner of vessels of precious stone and of brass and of iron and of marble: + +** Revelation of John 18:13 + +And cinnamon and odours and ointment and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and beasts and sheep and horses and chariots: and slaves and souls of men. + +** Revelation of John 18:14 + +And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee: and all fat and goodly things are perished from thee. And they shall find them no more at all. + +** Revelation of John 18:15 + +The merchants of these things, who were made rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of her torments, weeping and mourning, + +** Revelation of John 18:16 + +And saying: Alas! alas! that great city, which was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet and was gilt with gold and precious stones and pearls. + +** Revelation of John 18:17 + +For in one hour are so great riches come to nought. And every shipmaster and all that sail into the lake, and mariners, and as many as work in the sea, stood afar off, + +** Revelation of John 18:18 + +And cried, seeing the place of her burning, saying: What city is like to this great city? + +** Revelation of John 18:19 + +And they cast dust upon their heads and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices. For, in one hour she is made desolate. + +** Revelation of John 18:20 + +Rejoice over her, thou heaven and ye holy apostles and prophets. For God hath judged your judgment on her. + +** Revelation of John 18:21 + +And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this, shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down and shall be found no more at all. + +** Revelation of John 18:22 + +And the voice of harpers and of musicians and of them that play on the pipe and on the trumpet shall no more be heard at all in thee: and no craftsman of any art whatsoever shall be found any more at all in thee: and the sound of the mill shall be heard no more at all in thee: + +** Revelation of John 18:23 + +And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee: and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth: for all nations have been deceived by thy enchantments. + +** Revelation of John 18:24 + +And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all that were slain upon the earth. + +* Revelation of John 19 + +** Revelation of John 19:1 + +After these things, I heard as it were the voice of much people in heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation and glory and power is to our God. + +** Revelation of John 19:2 + +For true and just are his judgments, who hath judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication and hath revenged the blood of his servants, at her hands. + +** Revelation of John 19:3 + +And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever. + +** Revelation of John 19:4 + +And the four and twenty ancients and the four living creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen. Alleluia. + +** Revelation of John 19:5 + +And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give praise to our God, all ye his servants: and you that fear him, little and great. + +** Revelation of John 19:6 + +And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders, saying: Alleluia: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, hath reigned. + +** Revelation of John 19:7 + +Let us be glad and rejoice and give glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb is come: and his wife hath prepared herself. + +** Revelation of John 19:8 + +And it is granted to her that she should clothe herself with fine linen, glittering and white. For the fine linen are the justifications of saints. + +** Revelation of John 19:9 + +And he said to me: Write: Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me: These words of God are true. + +** Revelation of John 19:10 + +And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he saith to me: See thou do it not. I am thy fellow servant and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. + +** Revelation of John 19:11 + +And I saw heaven opened: and behold a white horse. And he that sat upon him was called faithful and true: and with justice doth he judge and fight. + +** Revelation of John 19:12 + +And his eyes were as a flame of fire: and on his head were many diadems. And he had a name written, which no man knoweth but himself. + +** Revelation of John 19:13 + +And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood. And his name is called: THE WORD OF GOD. + +** Revelation of John 19:14 + +And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. + +** Revelation of John 19:15 + +And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty. + +** Revelation of John 19:16 + +And he hath on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. + +** Revelation of John 19:17 + +And I saw an angel standing in the sun: and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God: + +** Revelation of John 19:18 + +That you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of tribunes and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of them that sit on them: and the flesh of all freemen and bondmen and of little and of great. + +** Revelation of John 19:19 + +And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to make war with him that sat upon the horse and with his army. + +** Revelation of John 19:20 + +And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the character of the beast and who adored his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire burning with brimstone. + +** Revelation of John 19:21 + +And the rest were slain by the sword of him that sitteth upon the horse, which proceedeth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh. + +* Revelation of John 20 + +** Revelation of John 20:1 + +And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. + +** Revelation of John 20:2 + +And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. + +** Revelation of John 20:3 + +And he cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him, that he should no more seduce the nations till the thousand years be finished. And after that, he must be loosed a little time. + +** Revelation of John 20:4 + +And I saw seats. And they sat upon them: and judgment was given unto them. And the souls of them that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God and who had not adored the beast nor his image nor received his character on their foreheads or in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. + +** Revelation of John 20:5 + +The rest of the dead lived not, till the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. + +** Revelation of John 20:6 + +Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection. In these the second death hath no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ: and shall reign with him a thousand years. + +** Revelation of John 20:7 + +And when the thousand years shall be finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and shall go forth and seduce the nations which are over the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog: and shall gather them together to battle, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. + +** Revelation of John 20:8 + +And they came upon the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the saints and the beloved city. + +** Revelation of John 20:9 + +And there came down fire from God out of heaven and devoured them: and the devil, who seduced them, was cast into the pool of fire and brimstone, where both the beast + +** Revelation of John 20:10 + +And the false prophet shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. + +** Revelation of John 20:11 + +And I saw a great white throne and one sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away: and there was no place found for them + +** Revelation of John 20:12 + +And I saw the dead, great and small, standing in the presence of the throne. And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which was the book of life. And the dead were judged by those things which were written in the books, according to their works. + +** Revelation of John 20:13 + +And the sea gave up the dead that were in it: and death and hell gave up their dead that were in them. And they were judged, every one according to their works. + +** Revelation of John 20:14 + +And hell and death were cast into the pool of fire. This is the second death. + +** Revelation of John 20:15 + +And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the pool of fire. + +* Revelation of John 21 + +** Revelation of John 21:1 + +I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth was gone: and the sea is now no more. + +** Revelation of John 21:2 + +And I, John, saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. + +** Revelation of John 21:3 + +And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men: and he will dwell with them.

For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. + +** Romans 3:10 + +As it is written: There is not any man just. + +** Romans 3:11 + +There is none that understandeth: there is none that seeketh after God. + +** Romans 3:12 + +All have turned out of the way: they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one. + +** Romans 3:13 + +Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully.

It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. + +** Romans 3:28 + +For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law. + +** Romans 3:29 + +Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? yes, of the Gentiles also. + +** Romans 3:30 + +For it is one God that justifieth circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith. + +** Romans 3:31 + +Do we then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid! But we establish the law. + +* Romans 4 + +** Romans 4:1 + +What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh? + +** Romans 4:2 + +For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. + +** Romans 4:3 + +For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice. + +** Romans 4:4 + +Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace but according to debt. + +** Romans 4:5 + +But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God. + +** Romans 4:6 + +As David also termeth the blessedness of a man to whom God reputeth justice without works: + +** Romans 4:7 + +Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven: and whose sins are covered. + +** Romans 4:8 + +Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin. + +** Romans 4:9 + +This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice. + +** Romans 4:10 + +How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. + +** Romans 4:11 + +And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which he had, being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised: that unto them also it may be reputed to justice: + +** Romans 4:12 + +And he might be the father of circumcision; not to them only that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faith that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. + +** Romans 4:13 + +For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world: but through the justice of faith. + +** Romans 4:14 + +For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void: the promise is made of no effect. + +** Romans 4:15 + +For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression. + +** Romans 4:16 + +Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed: not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, + +** Romans 4:17 + +(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations), before God, whom he believed: who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things that are not, as those that are. + +** Romans 4:18 + +Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be. + +** Romans 4:19 + +And he was not weak in faith. Neither did he consider his own body, now dead (whereas he was almost an hundred years old), nor the dead womb of Sara. + +** Romans 4:20 + +In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust: but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God: + +** Romans 4:21 + +Most fully knowing that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform. + +** Romans 4:22 + +And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice. + +** Romans 4:23 + +Now it is not written only for him. that it was reputed to him unto justice, + +** Romans 4:24 + +But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead, + +** Romans 4:25 + +Who was delivered up for our sins and rose again for our justification. + +* Romans 5 + +** Romans 5:1 + +Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ: + +** Romans 5:2 + +By whom also we have access through faith into this grace wherein we stand: and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God. + +** Romans 5:3 + +And not only so: but we glory also in tribulation, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; + +** Romans 5:4 + +And patience trial; and trial hope; + +** Romans 5:5 + +And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost who is given to us. + +** Romans 5:6 + +For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly? + +** Romans 5:7 + +For scarce for a just man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die. + +** Romans 5:8 + +But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we were sinners according to the time. + +** Romans 5:9 + +Christ died for us. Much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him. + +** Romans 5:10 + +For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son: much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. + +** Romans 5:11 + +And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation. + +** Romans 5:12 + +Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned. + +** Romans 5:13 + +For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when the law was not. + +** Romans 5:14 + +But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned, after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come. + +** Romans 5:15 + +But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. + +** Romans 5:16 + +And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation: but grace is of many offences unto justification. + +** Romans 5:17 + +For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift and of justice shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ. + +** Romans 5:18 + +Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation: so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life. + +** Romans 5:19 + +For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners: so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just. + +** Romans 5:20 + +Now the law entered in that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound. + +** Romans 5:21 + +That as sin hath reigned to death: so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord. + +* Romans 6 + +** Romans 6:1 + +What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? + +** Romans 6:2 + +God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein? + +** Romans 6:3 + +Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death? + +** Romans 6:4 + +For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. + +** Romans 6:5 + +For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. + +** Romans 6:6 + +Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer. + +** Romans 6:7 + +For he that is dead is justified from sin. + +** Romans 6:8 + +Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ. + +** Romans 6:9 + +Knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more. Death shall no more have dominion over him. + +** Romans 6:10 + +For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. + +** Romans 6:11 + +So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord. + +** Romans 6:12 + +Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof. + +** Romans 6:13 + +Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin: but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of justice unto God. + +** Romans 6:14 + +For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. + +** Romans 6:15 + +What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid! + +** Romans 6:16 + +Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto justice. + +** Romans 6:17 + +But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine into which you have been delivered. + +** Romans 6:18 + +Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice. + +** Romans 6:19 + +I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity: so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification. + +** Romans 6:20 + +For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice. + +** Romans 6:21 + +What fruit therefore had you then in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death. + +** Romans 6:22 + +But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting. + +** Romans 6:23 + +For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord. + +* Romans 7 + +** Romans 7:1 + +Know you not, brethren (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as it liveth? + +** Romans 7:2 + +For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. + +** Romans 7:3 + +Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, she shall be called an adulteress, if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead, she is delivered from the law of her husband: so that she is not an adulteress, if she be with another man. + +** Romans 7:4 + +Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ: that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead that we may bring forth fruit to God. + +** Romans 7:5 + +For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. + +** Romans 7:6 + +But now we are loosed from the law of death wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. + +** Romans 7:7 + +What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid! But I do not know sin, but by the law. For I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet. + +** Romans 7:8 + +But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. + +** Romans 7:9 + +And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, + +** Romans 7:10 + +And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me. + +** Romans 7:11 + +For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me: and by it killed me. + +** Romans 7:12 + +Wherefore the law indeed is holy: and the commandment holy and just and good. + +** Romans 7:13 + +Was that then which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me: that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure. + +** Romans 7:14 + +For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, sold under sin. + +** Romans 7:15 + +For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will: but the evil which I hate, that I do. + +** Romans 7:16 + +If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good. + +** Romans 7:17 + +Now then it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me. + +** Romans 7:18 + +For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will is present with me: but to accomplish that which is good, I find not. + +** Romans 7:19 + +For the good which I will, I do not: but the evil which I will not, that I do. + +** Romans 7:20 + +Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me. + +** Romans 7:21 + +I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me. + +** Romans 7:22 + +For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man: + +** Romans 7:23 + +But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind and captivating me in the law of sin that is in my members. + +** Romans 7:24 + +Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? + +** Romans 7:25 + +The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God: but with the flesh, the law of sin. + +* Romans 8 + +** Romans 8:1 + +There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh. + +** Romans 8:2 + +For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death. + +** Romans 8:3 + +For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh. + +** Romans 8:4 + +That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. + +** Romans 8:5 + +For they that are according to the flesh mind the things that are of the flesh: but they that are according to the spirit mind the things that are of the spirit. + +** Romans 8:6 + +For the wisdom of the flesh is death: but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace. + +** Romans 8:7 + +Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God. For it is not subject to the law of God: neither can it be. + +** Romans 8:8 + +And they who are in the flesh cannot please God. + +** Romans 8:9 + +But you are not in the flesh, but the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. + +** Romans 8:10 + +And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin: but the spirit liveth, because of justification. + +** Romans 8:11 + +And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ, from the dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you. + +** Romans 8:12 + +Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh. + +** Romans 8:13 + +For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. + +** Romans 8:14 + +For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. + +** Romans 8:15 + +For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear: but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father). + +** Romans 8:16 + +For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God. + +** Romans 8:17 + +And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him. + +** Romans 8:18 + +For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us. + +** Romans 8:19 + +For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God. + +** Romans 8:20 + +For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope. + +** Romans 8:21 + +Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. + +** Romans 8:22 + +For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now. + +** Romans 8:23 + +And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body. + +** Romans 8:24 + +For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for? + +** Romans 8:25 + +But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience. + +** Romans 8:26 + +Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For, we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings, + +** Romans 8:27 + +And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what the Spirit desireth: because he asketh for the saints according to God. + +** Romans 8:28 + +And we know that to them that love God all things work together unto good: to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. + +** Romans 8:29 + +For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son: that he might be the Firstborn amongst many brethren. + +** Romans 8:30 + +And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified. + +** Romans 8:31 + +What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us? + +** Romans 8:32 + +He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? + +** Romans 8:33 + +Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God is he that justifieth: + +** Romans 8:34 + +Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died: yea that is risen also again, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. + +** Romans 8:35 + +Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? Or distress? Or famine? Or nakedness? Or danger? Or persecution? Or the sword? + +** Romans 8:36 + +(As it is written: For thy sake, we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.) + +** Romans 8:37 + +But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us. + +** Romans 8:38 + +For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might, + +** Romans 8:39 + +Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. + +* Romans 9 + +** Romans 9:1 + +I speak the truth in Christ: I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost: + +** Romans 9:2 + +That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart. + +** Romans 9:3 + +For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren: who are my kinsmen according to the flesh: + +** Romans 9:4 + +Who are Israelites: to whom belongeth the adoption as of children and the glory and the testament and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises: + +** Romans 9:5 + +Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen. + +** Romans 9:6 + +Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel. + +** Romans 9:7 + +Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. + +** Romans 9:8 + +That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are accounted for the seed. + +** Romans 9:9 + +For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come. And Sara shall have a son. + +** Romans 9:10 + +And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of Isaac our father. + +** Romans 9:11 + +For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand): + +** Romans 9:12 + +Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger. + +** Romans 9:13 + +As it is written: Jacob I have loved: but Esau I have hated. + +** Romans 9:14 + +What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid! + +** Romans 9:15 + +For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. And I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy. + +** Romans 9:16 + +So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. + +** Romans 9:17 + +For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. + +** Romans 9:18 + +Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will. And whom he will, he hardeneth. + +** Romans 9:19 + +Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? For who resisteth his will? + +** Romans 9:20 + +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? + +** Romans 9:21 + +Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour? + +** Romans 9:22 + +What if God, willing to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction, + +** Romans 9:23 + +That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he hath prepared unto glory? + +** Romans 9:24 + +Even us, whom also he hath called, not only of the Jews but also of the Gentiles. + +** Romans 9:25 + +As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy; one that hath obtained mercy. + +** Romans 9:26 + +And it shalt be in the place where it was said unto them: you are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God. + +** Romans 9:27 + +And Isaias cried out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. + +** Romans 9:28 + +For he shall finish his word and cut it short in justice: because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth. + +** Romans 9:29 + +And Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabbath had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom and we had been like unto Gomorrha. + +** Romans 9:30 + +What then shall we say? That the Gentiles who followed not after justice have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith. + +** Romans 9:31 + +But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice. + +** Romans 9:32 + +Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone. + +** Romans 9:33 + +As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone and a rock of scandal. And whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded. + +* Romans 10 + +** Romans 10:1 + +Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed and my prayer to God is for them unto salvation. + +** Romans 10:2 + +For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. + +** Romans 10:3 + +For they, not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God. + +** Romans 10:4 + +For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believeth. + +** Romans 10:5 + +For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it. + +** Romans 10:6 + +But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down; + +** Romans 10:7 + +Or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead. + +** Romans 10:8 + +But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee; even in thy mouth and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach. + +** Romans 10:9 + +For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. + +** Romans 10:10 + +For, with the heart, we believe unto justice: but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. + +** Romans 10:11 + +For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded. + +** Romans 10:12 + +For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him. + +** Romans 10:13 + +For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. + +** Romans 10:14 + +How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? + +** Romans 10:15 + +And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things? + +** Romans 10:16 + +But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report? + +** Romans 10:17 + +Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ. + +** Romans 10:18 + +But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily: Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the whole world. + +** Romans 10:19 + +But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation: by a foolish nation I will anger you. + +** Romans 10:20 + +But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me. I appeared openly to them that asked not after me. + +** Romans 10:21 + +But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not and contradicteth me. + +* Romans 11 + +** Romans 11:1 + +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. + +** Romans 11:2 + +God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias, how he calleth on God against Israel? + +** Romans 11:3 + +Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars. And I am left alone: and they seek my life. + +** Romans 11:4 + +But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to Baal. + +** Romans 11:5 + +Even so then, at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace. + +** Romans 11:6 + +And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. + +** Romans 11:7 + +What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded. + +** Romans 11:8 + +As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, until this present day. + +** Romans 11:9 + +And David saith: Let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense unto them. + +** Romans 11:10 + +Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always. + +** Romans 11:11 + +I say then: Have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them. + +** Romans 11:12 + +Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world and the diminution of them the riches of the Gentiles: how much more the fulness of them? + +** Romans 11:13 + +For I say to you, Gentiles: As long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry, + +** Romans 11:14 + +If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh and may save some of them. + +** Romans 11:15 + +For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? + +** Romans 11:16 + +For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. + +** Romans 11:17 + +And if some of the branches be broken and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them and art made partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree: + +** Romans 11:18 + +Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root: but the root thee. + +** Romans 11:19 + +Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. + +** Romans 11:20 + +Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear. + +** Romans 11:21 + +For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps also he spare not thee. + +** Romans 11:22 + +See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness. Otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. + +** Romans 11:23 + +And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. + +** Romans 11:24 + +For if thou were cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, wert grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall they that are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? + +** Romans 11:25 + +For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery (lest you should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in. + +** Romans 11:26 + +And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. + +** Romans 11:27 + +And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins. + +** Romans 11:28 + +As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers. + +** Romans 11:29 + +For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance. + +** Romans 11:30 + +For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief: + +** Romans 11:31 + +So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy. + +** Romans 11:32 + +For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. + +** Romans 11:33 + +O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways! + +** Romans 11:34 + +For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor? + +** Romans 11:35 + +Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him? + +** Romans 11:36 + +For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen. + +* Romans 12 + +** Romans 12:1 + +I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service. + +** Romans 12:2 + +And be not conformed to this world: but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and the acceptable and the perfect will of God. + +** Romans 12:3 + +For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith. + +** Romans 12:4 + +For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office: + +** Romans 12:5 + +So we, being many, are one body in Christ; and every one members one of another: + +** Romans 12:6 + +And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith; + +** Romans 12:7 + +Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine; + +** Romans 12:8 + +He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. + +** Romans 12:9 + +Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good, + +** Romans 12:10 + +Loving one another with the charity of brotherhood: with honour preventing one another. + +** Romans 12:11 + +In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord. + +** Romans 12:12 + +Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer. + +** Romans 12:13 + +Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality. + +** Romans 12:14 + +Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not. + +** Romans 12:15 + +Rejoice with them that rejoice: weep with them that weep. + +** Romans 12:16 + +Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits. + +** Romans 12:17 + +To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God but also in the sight of all men. + +** Romans 12:18 + +If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men. + +** Romans 12:19 + +Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. + +** Romans 12:20 + +But if the enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. + +** Romans 12:21 + +Be not overcome by evil: but overcome evil by good. + +* Romans 13 + +** Romans 13:1 + +Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and those that are ordained of God. + +** Romans 13:2 + +Therefore, he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist purchase to themselves damnation. + +** Romans 13:3 + +For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same. + +** Romans 13:4 + +For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil. + +** Romans 13:5 + +Wherefore be subject of necessity: not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake. + +** Romans 13:6 + +For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose. + +** Romans 13:7 + +Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honour, to whom honour. + +** Romans 13:8 + +Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law. + +** Romans 13:9 + +For: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet. And if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. + +** Romans 13:10 + +The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law. + +** Romans 13:11 + +And that, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. + +** Romans 13:12 + +The night is passed And the day is at hand. Let us, therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. + +** Romans 13:13 + +Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy. + +** Romans 13:14 + +But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ: and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences. + +* Romans 14 + +** Romans 14:1 + +Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts. + +** Romans 14:2 + +For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs. + +** Romans 14:3 + +Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him. + +** Romans 14:4 + +Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand. + +** Romans 14:5 + +For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day. Let every man abound in his own sense. + +** Romans 14:6 + +He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God. + +** Romans 14:7 + +For none of us liveth to himself: and no man dieth to himself. + +** Romans 14:8 + +For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. + +** Romans 14:9 + +For to this end Christ died and rose again: that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. + +** Romans 14:10 + +But thou, why judgest thou thy brother?

of the needy, and defer not to gibe to him that is in distress. + +** Sirach 4:4 + +Reject not the petition of the afflicted: and turn not away thy face from the needy. + +** Sirach 4:5 + +Turn not away thy eyes from the poor for fear of anger: and leave not to them that ask of thee to curse thee behind thy back. + +** Sirach 4:6 + +For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him. + +** Sirach 4:7 + +Make thyself affable to the congregation of the poor, and humble thy soul to the ancient, and bow thy head to a great man. + +** Sirach 4:8 + +Bow down thy ear cheerfully to the poor, and pay what thou owest, and answer him peaceable words with mildness. + +** Sirach 4:9 + +Deliver him that suffereth wrong out of the

be as the obedient son of the most High, and he will have mercy on thee more than a mother. + +** Sirach 4:12 + +Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice. + +** Sirach 4:13 + +And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness. + +** Sirach 4:14 + +They that hold her fast, shall inherit life: and whithersoever she entereth, God will give a blessing. + +** Sirach 4:15 + +They that serve her, shall be servants to the holy one: and God loveth them that love her. + +** Sirach 4:16 + +He that hearkeneth to her, shall judge nations: and he that looketh upon her, shall remain secure. + +** Sirach 4:17 + +If he trust to her, he shall inherit her, and his generation shall be in assurance. + +** Sirach 4:18 + +For she walketh with him in temptation, and at the first she chooseth him. + +** Sirach 4:19 + +She will bring upon him fear and dread and trial: and she will scourge him with the affliction of her discipline, till she try him by her laws, and trust his soul. + +** Sirach 4:20 + +Then she will strengthen him, and make a straight way to him, and give him joy, + +** Sirach 4:21 + +And will disclose her secrets to him, and will heap upon him treasures of knowledge and understanding of justice. + +** Sirach 4:22 + +But if he go astray, she will forsake him, and deliver him into the hands of his enemy. + +** Sirach 4:23 + +Son, observe the time, and fly from evil. + +** Sirach 4:24 + +For thy soul be not ashamed to say the truth. + +** Sirach

justice. + +** Sirach 4:30 + +In nowise speak against the truth, but be ashamed of the lie of thy ignorance. + +** Sirach 4:31 + +Be not ashamed to confess thy sins, but submit not thyself to every man for sin. + +** Sirach 4:32 + +Resist not against the face of the mighty, and do not strive against the stream of the river. + +** Sirach 4:33 + +Strive for justice for thy soul, and even unto death fight for justice, and God will overthrow thy enemies for thee. + +** Sirach 4:34 + +Be not hasty in thy tongue: and slack and remiss in thy works. + +** Sirach 4:35 + +Be not as a lion in thy house, terrifying them of thy household, and oppressing them that are under thee. + +** Sirach 4:36 + +Let not thy hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldst give. + +* Sirach 5 +

in thy strength the desires of thy heart: + +** Sirach 5:3 + +And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my deeds? for God will surely take revenge. + +** Sirach 5:4 + +Say not: I have sinned, and what harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder. + +** Sirach 5:5 + +Be not without fear about sin forgiven, and add not sin upon sin: + +** Sirach 5:6 + +And say not: The mercy of the Lord is great, he will have mercy on the multitude of my sins. + +** Sirach 5:7 + +For mercy and wrath quickly come from him, and his wrath looketh upon sinners. + +** Sirach 5:8 + +Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day. + +** Sirach 5:9 + +For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee. + +** Sirach 5:10 + +Be not anxious for goods unjustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity and revenge. + +** Sirach 5:11 + +Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so is every sinner proved by a double tongue. + +** Sirach 5:12 + +Be steadfast in the way of the Lord, and in the truth of thy judgment, and in knowledge, and let the word of peace and justice keep with thee. + +** Sirach 5:13 + +Be meek to hear the word, that thou mayst understand: and return a true answer with wisdom. + +** Sirach 5:14 + +If thou have understanding, answer thy neighbour: but if not, let thy hand be upon thy mouth, lest thou be surprised in an unskilful word, and be confounded. + +** Sirach 5:15 + +Honour and glory is in the word of the wise, but the tongue of the fool is his ruin. + +** Sirach 5:16 + +Be not called a whisperer, and be not taken in thy tongue, and confounded. + +** Sirach 5:17 + +For confusion and repentance is upon a thief, and an evil mark of disgrace upon the double tongued, but to the whisperer hatred, and enmity, and reproach. + +** Sirach 5:18 + +Justify alike the small and the great. + +* Sirach 6 + +** Sirach 6:1 + +Instead of a friend become not an enemy to thy neighbour: for an evil man shall inherit reproach and shame, so shall every sinner that is envious and double tongued. + +** Sirach 6:2 + +Extol not thyself in the thoughts of thy soul like a bull: lest thy strength be quashed by folly, + +** Sirach 6:3 + +And it eat up thy leaves, and destroy thy fruit, and thou be left as a dry tree in the wilderness. + +** Sirach 6:4 + +For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked. + +** Sirach 6:5 + +A sweet word multiplieth friends, and appeaseth enemies, and a gracious tongue in a good man aboundeth. + +** Sirach 6:6 + +Be in peace with many, but let one of a thousand be thy counsellor. + +** Sirach 6:7 + +If thou wouldst get a friend, try him before thou takest him, and do not credit him easily. + +** Sirach 6:8 + +For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble. + +** Sirach 6:9 + +And there is a friend that turneth to enmity; and there is a friend that will disclose hatred and strife and reproaches. + +** Sirach 6:10 + +And there is a friend a companion at the table, and he will not abide in the day of distress. + +** Sirach 6:11 + +A friend if he continue steadfast, shall be to thee as thyself, and shall act with confidence among them of thy household. + +** Sirach 6:12 + +If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good. + +** Sirach 6:13 + +Separate thyself from thy enemies, and take heed of thy friends. + +** Sirach 6:14 + +A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure. + +** Sirach 6:15 + +Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of his fidelity. + +** Sirach 6:16 + +A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him. + +** Sirach 6:17 + +He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be. + +** Sirach 6:18 + +My son, from thy youth up receive instruction, and even to thy grey hairs thou shalt find wisdom. + +** Sirach 6:19 + +Come to her as one that plougheth, and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: + +** Sirach 6:20 + +For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits. + +** Sirach 6:21 + +How very unpleasant is wisdom to the unlearned, and the unwise will not continue with her. + +** Sirach 6:22 + +She shall be to them as a mighty stone of trial, and they will cast her from them before it be long. + +** Sirach 6:23 + +For the wisdom of doctrine is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many, but with them to whom she is known, she continueth even to the sight of God. + +** Sirach 6:24 + +Give ear, my son, and take wise counsel, and cast not away my advice. + +** Sirach 6:25 + +Put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chains: + +** Sirach 6:26 + +Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bands. + +** Sirach 6:27 + +Come to her with all thy mind, and keep her ways with all thy power. + +** Sirach 6:28 + +Search for her, and she shall be made known to thee, and when thou hast gotten her, let her not go: + +** Sirach 6:29 + +For in the latter end thou shalt find rest in her, and she shall be turned to thy joy. + +** Sirach 6:30 + +Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and a firm foundation, and her chain a robe of glory: + +** Sirach 6:31 + +For in her is the beauty of life, and her bands are a healthful binding. + +** Sirach 6:32 + +Thou shalt put her on as a robe of glory, and thou shalt set her upon thee as a crown of joy. + +** Sirach 6:33 + +My son, if thou wilt attend to me, thou shalt learn: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be wise. + +** Sirach 6:34 + +If thou wilt incline thy ear, thou shalt receive instruction: and if thou love to hear, thou shalt be wise. + +** Sirach 6:35 + +Stand in the multitude of ancients that are wise, and join thyself from thy heart to their wisdom, that thou mayst hear every discourse of God, and the sayings of praise may not escape thee. + +** Sirach 6:36 + +And if thou see a man of understanding, go to him early in the morning, and let thy foot wear the steps of his doors. + +** Sirach 6:37 + +Let thy thoughts be upon the precepts of God, and meditate continually on his commandments: and he will give thee a heart, and the desire of wisdom shall be given to thee. + +* Sirach 7 + +** Sirach 7:1 + +Do no evils, and no evils shall lay hold of thee. + +** Sirach 7:2 + +Depart from the unjust, and evils shall depart from thee. + +** Sirach 7:3 + +My son, sow not evils in the furrows of injustice, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold. + +** Sirach 7:4 + +Seek not of the Lord a preeminence, nor of the king the seat of honour. + +** Sirach 7:5 + +Justify not thyself before God, for he knoweth the heart: and desire not to appear wise before the king. + +** Sirach 7:6 + +Seek not to be made a judge, unless thou have strength enough to extirpate iniquities: lest thou fear the person of the powerful, and lay a stumblingblock for thy integrity. + +** Sirach 7:7 + +Offend not against the multitude of a city, neither cast thyself in upon the people, + +** Sirach 7:8 + +Nor bind sin to sin: for even in one thou shalt not be unpunished. + +** Sirach 7:9 + +Be not fainthearted in thy mind: + +** Sirach 7:10 + +Neglect not to pray, and to give alms. + +** Sirach 7:11 + +Say not: God will have respect to the multitude of my gifts, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept my offerings. + +** Sirach 7:12 + +Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one that humbleth and exalteth, God who seeth all. + +** Sirach 7:13 + +Devise not a lie against thy brother: neither do the like against thy friend. + +** Sirach 7:14 + +Be not willing to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good. + +** Sirach 7:15 + +Be not full of words in a multitude of ancients, and repeat not the word in thy prayer. + +** Sirach 7:16 + +Hate not laborious works, nor husbandry ordained by the most High. + +** Sirach 7:17 + +Number not thyself among the multitude of the disorderly. + +** Sirach 7:18 + +Remember wrath, for it will not tarry long. + +** Sirach 7:19 + +Humble thy spirit very much: for the vengeance on the flesh of the ungodly is fire and worms. + +** Sirach 7:20 + +Do not transgress against thy friend deferring money, nor despise thy dear brother for the sake of gold. + +** Sirach 7:21 + +Depart not from a wise and good wife, whom thou hast gotten in the fear of the Lord: for the grace of her modesty is above gold. + +** Sirach 7:22 + +Hurt not the servant that worketh faithfully, nor the hired man that giveth thee his life. + +** Sirach 7:23 + +Let a wise servant be dear to thee as thy own soul, defraud him not of liberty, nor leave him needy. + +** Sirach 7:24 + +Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee. + +** Sirach 7:25 + +Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their childhood. + +** Sirach 7:26 + +Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thy countenance gay towards them.

commanded thee, of the firstfruits and of purifications: and for thy negligences purify thyself with a few. + +** Sirach 7:35 + +Offer to the Lord the gift of thy shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things: + +** Sirach 7:36 + +And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected. + +** Sirach 7:37 + +A gift hath grace in the sight of all the living, and restrain not grace from the dead. + +** Sirach 7:38 + +Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that mourn. + +** Sirach 7:39 + +Be not slow to visit the sick: for by these things thou shalt be confirmed in love. + +** Sirach 7:40 + +In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin. + +* Sirach 8 + +** Sirach 8:1 + +Strive not with a powerful man, lest thou fall into his hands. + +** Sirach 8:2 + +Contend not with a rich man, lest he bring an action against thee. + +** Sirach 8:3 + +For gold and silver hath destroyed many, and hath reached even to the heart of kings, and perverted them. + +** Sirach 8:4 + +Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire. + +** Sirach 8:5 + +Communicate not with an ignorant man, lest he speak ill of thy family. + +** Sirach 8:6 + +Despise not a man that turneth away from sin, nor reproach him therewith: remember that we are all worthy of reproof. + +** Sirach 8:7 + +Despise not a man in his old age; for we also shall become old. + +** Sirach 8:8 + +Rejoice not at the death of thy enemy; knowing that we all die, and are not willing that others should rejoice at our death. + +** Sirach 8:9 + +Despise not the discourse of them that are ancient and wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs. + +** Sirach 8:10 + +For of them thou shalt learn wisdom, and instruction of understanding, and to serve great men without blame. + +** Sirach 8:11 + +Let not the discourse of the ancients escape thee, for they have learned of their fathers: + +** Sirach 8:12 + +For of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give an answer in time of need. + +** Sirach 8:13 + +Kindle not the coals of sinners by rebuking them, lest thou be burnt with the flame of the fire of their sins. + +** Sirach 8:14 + +Stand not against the face of an injurious person, lest he sit as a spy to entrap thee in thy words. + +** Sirach 8:15 + +Lend not to a man that is mightier than thyself: and if thou lendest, count it as lost. + +** Sirach 8:16 + +Be not surety above thy power: and if thou be surety, think as if thou wert to pay it. + +** Sirach 8:17 + +Judge not against a judge: for he judgeth according to that which is just. + +** Sirach 8:18 + +Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils: for he goeth according to his own will, and thou shalt perish together with his folly. + +** Sirach 8:19 + +Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee. + +** Sirach 8:20 + +Advise not with fools, for they cannot love but such things as please them. + +** Sirach 8:21 + +Before a stranger do

+ +Give not thy soul to harlots in any point: lest thou destroy thyself and thy inheritance. + +** Sirach 9:7 + +Look not round about thee in the ways of the city, nor wander up and down in the streets thereof. + +** Sirach 9:8 + +Turn away thy face from a woman dressed up, and gaze not about upon another's beauty. + +** Sirach 9:9 + +For many have perished by the beauty of a woman, and

Sirach 9:22 + +Let just men be thy guests, and let thy glory be in the fear of God. + +** Sirach 9:23 + +And let the thought of God be in thy mind, and all thy discourse on the commandments of the Highest. + +** Sirach 9:24 + +Works shall be praised for the hand of the artificers, and the prince of the people for the wisdom of his speech, but the word of the ancients for the sense. + +** Sirach 9:25 + +A man full of tongue is terrible in his city, and he that is rash in his word shall be hateful. + +* Sirach 10 + +** Sirach 10:1 + +A wise judge shall judge his people, and the government of a prudent man shall be steady. + +** Sirach 10:2 + +As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell

execrable. + +** Sirach 10:8 + +A kingdom is translated from one people to another, because of injustices, and wrongs, and injuries, and divers deceits. + +** Sirach 10:9 + +But nothing is more wicked than the covetous man. Why is earth, and ashes proud? + +** Sirach 10:10 + +There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels. + +** Sirach 10:11 + +All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician. + +** Sirach 10:12 + +The physician cutteth off a short sickness: so also a king is to day, and to morrow he shall die. + +** Sirach 10:13 + +For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms. + +** Sirach 10:14 + +The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God: + +** Sirach 10:15 + +Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end. + +** Sirach 10:16 + +Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them. + +** Sirach 10:17 + +God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead. + +** Sirach 10:18 + +God hath made the roots of proud nations to wither, and hath planted the humble of these nations. + +** Sirach 10:19 + +The Lord hath overthrown the lands of the Gentiles, and hath destroyed them even to the foundation. + +** Sirach 10:20 + +He hath made some of them to wither away, and hath destroyed them, and hath made the memory of them to cease from the earth. + +** Sirach 10:21 + +God hath abolished the memory of the proud, and hath preserved the memory of them that are humble in mind. + +** Sirach 10:22 + +Pride was not made for men: nor wrath for the race of women. + +** Sirach 10:23 + +That seed of men shall be honoured, which feareth God: but that seed shall be dishonoured, which transgresseth the commandments of the Lord. + +** Sirach 10:24 + +In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. + +** Sirach 10:25 + +The fear of God is the glory of the rich, and of the honourable, and of the poor. + +** Sirach 10:26 + +Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich. + +** Sirach 10:27 + +The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. + +** Sirach 10:28 + +They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured. + +** Sirach 10:29 + +Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress; + +** Sirach 10:30 + +Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread. + +** Sirach 10:31 + +My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert. + +** Sirach 10:32 + +Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul? + +** Sirach 10:33 + +The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear, and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. + +** Sirach 10:34 + +But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty. + +* Sirach 11 + +** Sirach 11:1 + +The wisdom of the humble shall exalt his head, and shall make him sit in the midst of great men. + +** Sirach 11:2 + +Praise not a man for his beauty, neither despise a man for his look. + +** Sirach 11:3 + +The bee is small among flying things but her fruit hath the chiefest sweetness. + +** Sirach 11:4 + +Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, and hidden. + +** Sirach 11:5 + +Many tyrants have sat on the throne, and he whom no man would think on, hath worn the crown. + +** Sirach 11:6 + +Many mighty men have been greatly brought down, and the glorious have been delivered into the hand of others. + +** Sirach 11:7 + +Before thou inquire, blame no man: and when thou hast inquired, reprove justly. + +** Sirach 11:8 + +Before thou hear, answer not a word: and interrupt not others in the midst of their discourse. + +** Sirach 11:9 + +Strive not in a matter which doth not concern thee, and sit not in judgment with sinners. + +** Sirach 11:10 + +My son, meddle not with many matters: and if thou be rich, thou shalt not be free from sin: for if thou pursue after thou shalt not overtake; and if thou run before thou shalt not escape. + +** Sirach 11:11 + +There is an ungodly man that laboureth, and maketh haste, and is in sorrow, and is so much the more in want. + +** Sirach 11:12 + +Again, there is an inactive man that wanteth help, is very weak in ability, and full of poverty: + +** Sirach 11:13 + +Yet the eye of God hath looked upon him for good, and hath lifted him up from his low estate, and hath exalted his head: and many have wondered at him, and have glorified God. + +** Sirach 11:14 + +Good things and evil, life and death, poverty and riches, are from God. + +** Sirach 11:15 + +Wisdom and discipline, and the knowledge of the law are with God. Love and the ways of good things are with him. + +** Sirach 11:16 + +Error and darkness are created with sinners: and they that glory in evil things, grow old in evil. + +** Sirach 11:17 + +The gift of God abideth with the just, and his advancement shall have success for ever. + +** Sirach 11:18 + +There is one that is enriched by living sparingly, and this is the portion of his reward. + +** Sirach 11:19 + +In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone: + +** Sirach 11:20 + +And he knoweth not what time shall pass, and that death approacheth, and that he must leave all to others, and shall die. + +** Sirach 11:21 + +Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, and grow old in the work of thy commandments. + +** Sirach 11:22 + +Abide not in the works of sinners.

And have no fellowship with one that is richer than thyself. + +** Sirach 13:3 + +What agreement shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? for if they knock one against the other, it shall be broken. + +** Sirach 13:4 + +The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he will fume: but the poor is wronged and must hold his peace. + +** Sirach 13:5 + +If thou give, he will make use of thee: and if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee. + +** Sirach 13:6 + +If thou have any thing, he will live with thee, and will make thee bare, and he will not be sorry for thee. + +** Sirach 13:7 + +If he have need of thee he will deceive thee, and smiling upon thee will put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and will say: What wantest thou? + +** Sirach 13:8 + +And he will shame thee by his meats, till he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at last he will laugh at thee: and afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee. + +** Sirach 13:9 + +Humble thyself to God, and wait for his hands. + +** Sirach 13:10 + +Beware that thou be not deceived into folly, and be humbled. + +** Sirach 13:11 + +Be not lowly in thy wisdom, lest being humbled thou be deceived into folly. + +** Sirach 13:12 + +If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more. + +** Sirach 13:13 + +Be not troublesome to him, lest thou be put back: and keep not far from him, lest thou be forgotten. + +** Sirach 13:14 + +Affect not to speak with him as an equal, and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets. + +** Sirach 13:15 + +His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison. + +** Sirach 13:16 + +Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin. + +** Sirach 13:17 + +When thou hearest those things, see as it were in sleep, and thou shalt awake. + +** Sirach 13:18 + +Love God all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation. + +** Sirach 13:19 + +Every beast loveth its like: so also every man him that is nearest to himself. + +** Sirach 13:20 + +All flesh shall consort with the like to itself, and every man shall associate himself to his like. + +** Sirach 13:21 + +If the wolf shall at any time have fellowship with the lamb,

desert: so also the poor are devoured by the rich. + +** Sirach 13:24 + +And as humility is an abomination to the proud: so also the rich man abhorreth the poor. + +** Sirach 13:25 + +When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance. + +** Sirach 13:26 + +When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him. + +** Sirach 13:27 + +The poor man was deceived, and he is rebuked also: he hath spoken wisely, and could have no place. + +** Sirach 13:28 + +The rich man spoke, and all held their peace, and what he said they extol even to the clouds. + +** Sirach 13:29 + +The poor man spoke, and they say: Who is this? and if he stumble, they will overthrow him. + +** Sirach 13:30 + +Riches are good to him that hath no sin in his conscience: and poverty is very wicked in the mouth of the ungodly. + +** Sirach 13:31 + +The heart of a man changeth his countenance, either for good, or for evil. + +** Sirach 13:32 + +The token of a good heart, and a good countenance thou shalt hardly find, and with labour. + +* Sirach 14 + +** Sirach 14:1 + +Blessed is the man that hath not slipped by a word out of his mouth, and is not pricked with the remorse of sin. + +** Sirach 14:2 + +Happy is he that hath had no sadness of his mind, and who is not fallen from his hope. + +** Sirach 14:3 + +Riches are not comely for a covetous man and a niggard, and what should an envious man do with gold? + +** Sirach 14:4 + +He that gathereth together by wronging his own soul, gathereth for others, and another will squander away his goods in rioting. + +** Sirach 14:5 + +He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? and he shall not take pleasure in his goods. + +** Sirach 14:6 + +There is none worse than he that envieth himself, and this is the reward of his wickedness: + +** Sirach 14:7 + +And if he do good, he doth it ignorantly,

before thou die, and according to thy ability, stretching out thy hand give to the poor. + +** Sirach 14:14 + +Defraud not thyself of the good day, and let not the part of a good gift overpass thee. +

justice: for in hell there is no finding food. + +** Sirach 14:18 + +All flesh shall fade as grass, and as the leaf that springeth out on a green tree. + +** Sirach 14:19 + +Some grow, and some fall off: so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born. + +** Sirach 14:20 + +Every work that is corruptible shall fail in the end: and the worker thereof shall go with it. + +** Sirach 14:21 + +And every excellent work shall be justified: and the worker thereof shall be honoured therein. + +** Sirach 14:22 + +Blessed is the man that shall continue in wisdom,

feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her, + +** Sirach 15:2 + +And she will meet him as an honourable mother, and will receive him as a wife married of a virgin. + +** Sirach 15:3 + +With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved. + +** Sirach 15:4 + +And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours. + +** Sirach 15:5 + +And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory. + +** Sirach 15:6 + +She shall heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness,

sovereign Lord will give praise unto it. + +** Sirach 15:11 + +Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth. + +** Sirach 15:12 + +Say not: He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of wicked men. + +** Sirach 15:13 + +The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear him shall not love it. + +** Sirach 15:14 + +God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel. + +** Sirach 15:15 + +He added his commandments and precepts. + +** Sirach 15:16 + +If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform

life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him: + +** Sirach 15:19 + +For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing. + +** Sirach 15:20 + +The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth al the work of man. + +** Sirach 15:21 + +He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, and he hath given no man license to sin; + +** Sirach 15:22 + +For he desireth not a multitude of faithless and unprofitable children. + +* Sirach 16 + +** Sirach 16:1 + +Rejoice not in ungodly children, if they be multiplied: neither be delighted in them, if the fear of God be not with them. + +** Sirach 16:2 + +Trust not to their life, and respect not their labours. + +** Sirach 16:3 + +For better is one that feareth God, than a thousand ungodly children. + +** Sirach 16:4 + +And it is better to die without children, than to leave ungodly children. + +** Sirach 16:5 + +By one that is wise a country shall be inhabited, the tribe of the ungodly shall become desolate. + +** Sirach 16:6 + +Many such things hath my eyes seen, and greater things than these my ear hath heard. + +** Sirach 16:7 + +In the congregation of sinners a fire shall be kindled, and in an unbelieving nation wrath shall flame out. + +** Sirach 16:8 + +The ancient giants did not obtain pardon for their sins, who were destroyed trusting to their own strength: + +** Sirach 16:9 + +And he spared not the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for the pride of their word. + +** Sirach 16:10 + +He had not pity on them, destroying the whole nation that extolled themselves in their sins. + +** Sirach 16:11 + +So did he with the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their heart: and if one had been stiffnecked, it is a wonder if he had escaped unpunished: + +** Sirach 16:12 + +For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation: + +** Sirach 16:13 + +According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works. + +** Sirach 16:14 + +The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off. + +** Sirach 16:15 + +All mercy shall make a place for every man according to the merit of his works, and according to the wisdom of his sojournment. + +** Sirach 16:16 + +Say not: I shall be hidden from God, and who shall remember me from on high?

thou comest near them, they will take hold of thee. + +** Sirach 21:3 + +The teeth thereof are the teeth of a lion, killing the souls of men. + +** Sirach 21:4 + +All iniquity is like a two-edged sword, there is no remedy for the wound thereof. + +** Sirach 21:5 + +Injuries and wrongs will waste riches: and the house that is very rich shall be brought to nothing by pride: so the substance of

to slip by him. + +** Sirach 21:9 + +He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter. + +** Sirach 21:10 + +The congregation of sinners is like tow heaped together, and the end of them is a flame of fire. + +** Sirach 21:11 + +The way of sinners is made plain with stones, and in their end is hell, and darkness, and pains. + +** Sirach 21:12 + +He that keepeth justice shall get the understanding thereof. + +** Sirach 21:13 + +The perfection of the fear of God is wisdom and understanding. + +** Sirach 21:14 + +He that is not wise in good, will not be taught. + +** Sirach 21:15 + +But there is a wisdom that aboundeth in evil: and there is no understanding where there is bitterness. + +** Sirach 21:16 + +The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood, and his counsel continueth like a fountain of life. + +** Sirach 21:17 + +The heart of a fool is like a broken vessel, and no wisdom at all shall it hold. + +** Sirach 21:18 + +A man of sense will praise every wise word he shall hear, and will apply it to himself: the luxurious man hath heard it, and it shall displease him, and he will cast it behind his back. + +** Sirach 21:19 + +The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but in the lips of the wise, grace shall be found. + +** Sirach 21:20 + +The mouth of the prudent is sought after in the church, and

21:22 + +Doctrine to a fool is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand. + +** Sirach 21:23 + +A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself. + +** Sirach 21:24 + +Learning to the prudent is as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm. + +** Sirach 21:25 + +The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty. + +** Sirach 21:26 + +A fool will peep through the window into the house: but he that is well taught will stand without. + +** Sirach 21:27 + +It is the folly of a man to hearken at the door: and a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace. + +** Sirach 21:28 + +The lips of the unwise will be telling foolish things: but the words of the wise shall be weighed in a balance. + +** Sirach 21:29 + +The heart of fools is in their mouth: and the mouth of wise men is in their heart. + +** Sirach 21:30 + +While the ungodly curseth the devil, he curseth his own soul. + +** Sirach 21:31 + +The talebearer shall defile his own soul, and shall be hated by all: and he that shall abide with him shall be hateful: the silent and wise man shall be honoured. + +* Sirach 22 + +** Sirach 22:1 + +The sluggard is pelted with a dirty stone, and all men will speak of his disgrace. + +** Sirach 22:2 + +The sluggard is pelted with the dung of oxen: and every one that toucheth him will shake his hands. + +** Sirach 22:3 + +A son ill taught is the confusion of the father: and a foolish daughter shall be to his loss. + +** Sirach 22:4 + +A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that confoundeth, becometh a disgrace to her father. + +** Sirach 22:5 + +She that is bold shameth both her father and husband, and will not be inferior to the ungodly: and shall be disgraced by them both. + +** Sirach 22:6 + +A tale out of time is like music in mourning: but the stripes and instruction of wisdom are never out of time. + +** Sirach 22:7 + +He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together. + +** Sirach 22:8 + +He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep. + +** Sirach 22:9 + +He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this? + +** Sirach 22:10 + +Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth. + +** Sirach 22:11 + +Weep but a little for the dead, for he is at rest. + +** Sirach 22:12 + +For the wicked life of a wicked fool is worse than death. + +** Sirach 22:13 + +The mourning for the dead is seven days: but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of their life. + +** Sirach 22:14 + +Talk not much with a fool and go not with him that hath no sense. + +** Sirach 22:15 + +Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin. + +** Sirach 22:16 + +Turn away from him, and thou shalt find rest, and shalt not be wearied out with his folly. + +** Sirach 22:17 + +What is heavier than lead? and what other name hath he but fool? + +** Sirach 22:18 + +Sand and salt, and a mass of iron is easier to bear, than a man without sense, that is both foolish and wicked. + +** Sirach 22:19 + +A frame of wood bound together in the foundation of a building, shall not be loosed: so neither shall the heart that is established by advised counsel. + +** Sirach 22:20 + +The thought of him that is wise at all times, shall not be depraved by fear. + +** Sirach 22:21 + +As pales set in high places, and plasterings made without cost, will not stand against the face of the wind: + +** Sirach 22:22 + +So also a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool shall not resist against the violence of fear. + +** Sirach 22:23 + +As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God. + +** Sirach 22:24 + +He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment. + +** Sirach 22:25 + +He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship. + +** Sirach 22:26 + +Although thou hast drawn a sword at a friend, despair not: for there may be a returning. To a friend, + +** Sirach 22:27 + +If thou hast opened a sad mouth, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation: except upbraiding, and reproach, and pride, and disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for in all these cases a friend will flee away. + +** Sirach 22:28 + +Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice. + +** Sirach 22:29 + +In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance. + +** Sirach 22:30 + +As the vapour of a chimney, and the smoke of the fire goeth up before the fire: so also injurious words, and reproaches, and threats, before blood. + +** Sirach 22:31 + +I will not be ashamed to salute a friend, neither will I hide myself from his face: and if any evil happen to me by him, I will bear it. + +** Sirach 22:32 + +But every one that shall hear it, will beware of him. + +** Sirach 22:33 + +Who will set a guard before my mouth, and a sure seal upon my lips, that I fall not by them, and that my tongue destroy me not? + +* Sirach 23 + +** Sirach 23:1 + +O Lord, father, and sovereign ruler of my life, leave me not to their counsel: nor suffer me to fall by them. + +** Sirach 23:2 + +Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over my heart, that they spare me not in their ignorances, and that their sins may not appear: + +** Sirach 23:3 + +Lest my ignorances increase, and my offences be multiplied, and my sins abound, and I fall before my adversaries, and my enemy rejoice over me? + +** Sirach 23:4 + +O Lord, father, and God of my life, leave me not to their devices. + +** Sirach 23:5 + +Give me not haughtiness of my eyes, and turn away from me all coveting. + +** Sirach 23:6 + +Take from me the greediness of the belly, and let not the lusts of the flesh take hold of me, and give me not over to a shameless and foolish mind. + +** Sirach 23:7 + +Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth, and he that will keep it shall not perish by his lips, nor be brought to fall into most wicked works. + +** Sirach 23:8 + +A sinner is caught in his own vanity, and the proud and the evil speakers shall fall thereby. + +** Sirach 23:9 + +Let not thy mouth be accustomed to swearing: for in it there are many falls. + +** Sirach 23:10 + +And let not the naming of God be usual in thy mouth, and meddle not with the names of saints, for thou shalt not escape free from them. + +** Sirach 23:11 + +For as a slave daily put to the question, is never without a blue mark: so every one that sweareth, and nameth, shall not be wholly pure from sin. + +** Sirach 23:12 + +A man that sweareth much, shall be filled with iniquity, and a scourge shall not depart from his house. + +** Sirach 23:13 + +And if he make it void, his sin shall be upon him, and if he dissemble it, he offendeth double: + +** Sirach 23:14 + +And if he swear in vain, he shall not be justified: for his house shall be filled with his punishment. + +** Sirach 23:15 + +There is also another speech opposite to death, let it not be found in the inheritance of Jacob. + +** Sirach 23:16 + +For from the merciful all these things shall be taken away, and they shall not wallow in sins. + +** Sirach 23:17 + +Let not thy mouth be accustomed to indiscreet speech: for therein is the word of sin. + +** Sirach 23:18 + +Remember thy father and thy mother, for thou sittest in the midst of great men: + +** Sirach 23:19 + +Lest God forget thee in their sight, and thou, by thy daily custom be infatuated and suffer reproach: and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse the day of thy nativity. + +** Sirach 23:20 + +The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words, will never be corrected all the days of his life. + +** Sirach 23:21 + +Two sorts of men multiply sins, and the third bringeth wrath and destruction. + +** Sirach 23:22 + +A hot soul is a burning fire, it will never be quenched, till it devour some thing. + +** Sirach 23:23 + +And a man that is wicked in the mouth of his flesh, will not leave off till he hath kindled a fire. + +** Sirach 23:24 + +To a man that is a fornicator all bread is sweet, he will not be weary of sinning unto the end. + +** Sirach 23:25 + +Every man that passeth beyond his own bed, despising his own soul, and saying: Who seeth me? + +** Sirach 23:26 + +Darkness compasseth me about, and the walls cover me, and no man seeth me: whom do I fear? the most High will not remember my sins. + +** Sirach 23:27 + +And he understandeth not that his eye seeth all things, for such a man's fear driveth him from the fear of God, and the eyes of men fearing him: + +** Sirach 23:28 + +And he knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are far brighter than the sun, beholding round about all the ways of men, and the bottom of the deep, and looking into the hearts of men, into the most hidden parts. + +** Sirach 23:29 + +For all things were known to the Lord God, before they were created: so also after they were perfected he beholdeth all things. + +** Sirach 23:30 + +This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and he shall be chased as a colt: and where he suspected not, he shall be taken. + +** Sirach 23:31 + +And he shall be in disgrace with all men, because he understood not the fear of the Lord. + +** Sirach 23:32 + +So every woman also that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another: + +** Sirach 23:33 + +For first she hath been unfaithful to the law of the most High: and secondly, she hath offended against her husband: thirdly, she hath fornicated in adultery, and hath gotten her children of another man. + +** Sirach 23:34 + +This woman shall be brought into the assembly, and inquisition shall be made of her children. + +** Sirach 23:35 + +Her children shall not take root, and her branches shall bring forth no fruit. + +** Sirach 23:36 + +She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her infamy shall not be blotted out. + +** Sirach 23:37 + +And they that remain shall know, that there is nothing better than the fear of God: and that there is nothing sweeter than to have regard to the commandments of the Lord. + +** Sirach 23:38 + +It is great glory to follow the Lord: for length of days shall be received from him. + +* Sirach 24 + +** Sirach 24:1 + +Wisdom shall praise her own self, and shall be honoured in God, and shall glory in the midst of her people, + +** Sirach 24:2 + +And shall open her mouth in the churches of the most High, and shall glorify herself in the sight of his power, + +** Sirach 24:3 + +And in the midst of her own people she shall be exalted, and shall be admired in the holy assembly. + +** Sirach 24:4 + +And in the multitude of the elect she shall have praise, and among the blessed she shall be blessed, saying: + +** Sirach 24:5 + +I came out of the mouth of the most High, the firstborn before all creatures: + +** Sirach 24:6 + +I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth: + +** Sirach 24:7 + +I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud. + +** Sirach 24:8 + +I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea, + +** Sirach 24:9 + +And have stood in all the earth: and in every people, + +** Sirach 24:10 + +And in every nation I have had the chief rule: + +** Sirach 24:11 + +And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord. + +** Sirach 24:12 + +Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle, + +** Sirach 24:13 + +And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect. + +** Sirach 24:14 + +From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him. + +** Sirach 24:15 + +And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem. + +** Sirach 24:16 + +And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints. + +** Sirach 24:17 + +I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion. + +** Sirach 24:18 + +I was exalted like a palm tree in Cades, and as a rose plant in Jericho: + +** Sirach 24:19 + +As a fair olive tree in the plains, and as a plane tree by the water in the streets, was I exalted. + +** Sirach 24:20 + +I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon, and aromatical balm: I yielded a sweet odour like the best myrrh: + +** Sirach 24:21 + +And I perfumed my dwelling as storax, and galbanum, and onyx, and aloes, and as the frankincense not cut, and my odour is as the purest balm. + +** Sirach 24:22 + +I have stretched out my branches as the turpentine tree, and my branches are of honour and grace. + +** Sirach 24:23 + +As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. + +** Sirach 24:24 + +I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. + +** Sirach 24:25 + +In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. + +** Sirach 24:26 + +Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits. + +** Sirach 24:27 + +For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb. + +** Sirach 24:28 + +My memory is unto everlasting generations. + +** Sirach 24:29 + +They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst. + +** Sirach 24:30 + +He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin. + +** Sirach 24:31 + +They that explain me shall have life everlasting. + +** Sirach 24:32 + +All these things are the book of life, and the covenant of the most High, and the knowledge of truth. + +** Sirach 24:33 + +Moses commanded a law in the precepts of justices, and an inheritance to the house of Jacob, and the promises to Israel. + +** Sirach 24:34 + +He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever. + +** Sirach 24:35 + +Who filleth up wisdom as the Phison, and as the Tigris in the days of the new fruits. + +** Sirach 24:36 + +Who maketh understanding to abound as the Euphrates, who multiplieth it as the Jordan in the time of harvest. + +** Sirach 24:37 + +Who sendeth knowledge as the light, and riseth up as Gehon in the time of the vintage. + +** Sirach 24:38 + +Who first hath perfect knowledge of her, and a weaker shall not search her out. + +** Sirach 24:39 + +For her thoughts are more vast than the sea, and her counsels more deep than the great ocean. + +** Sirach 24:40 + +I, wisdom, have poured out rivers. + +** Sirach 24:41 + +I, like a brook out of a river of a mighty water; I, like a channel of a river, and like an aqueduct, came out of paradise. + +** Sirach 24:42 + +I said: I will water my garden of plants, and I will water abundantly the fruits of my meadow. + +** Sirach 24:43 + +And behold my brook became a great river, and my river came near to a sea: + +** Sirach 24:44 + +For I make doctrine to shine forth to all as the morning light, and I will declare it afar off. + +** Sirach 24:45 + +I will penetrate to all the lower parts of the earth, and will behold all that sleep, and will enlighten all that hope in the Lord. + +** Sirach 24:46 + +I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and will leave it to them that seek wisdom, and will not cease to instruct their offspring even to the holy age. + +** Sirach 24:47 + +See ye that I have not laboured myself only, but for all that seek out the truth. + +* Sirach 25 + +** Sirach 25:1 + +With three things my spirit is pleased, which are approved before God and men: + +** Sirach 25:2 + +The concord of brethren, and the love of neighbours, and man and wife that agree well together. + +** Sirach 25:3 + +Three sorts my soul hateth, and I am greatly grieved at their life: + +** Sirach 25:4 + +A poor man that is proud: a rich man that is a liar: an old man that is a fool, and doting. + +** Sirach 25:5 + +The things that thou hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find them in thy old age? + +** Sirach 25:6 + +O how comely is judgment for a grey head, and for ancients to know counsel! + +** Sirach 25:7 + +O how comely is wisdom for the aged, and understanding and counsel to men of honour! + +** Sirach 25:8 + +Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory. + +** Sirach 25:9 + +Nine things that are not to be imagined by the heart have I magnified, and the tenth I will utter to men with my tongue. + +** Sirach 25:10 + +A man that hath joy of his children: and he that liveth and seeth the fall of his enemies. + +** Sirach 25:11 + +Blessed is he that dwelleth with a wise woman, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served such as are unworthy of him. + +** Sirach 25:12 + +Blessed is he that findeth a true friend, and that declareth justice to an ear that heareth. + +** Sirach 25:13 + +How great is he that findeth wisdom and knowledge! but there is none above him that feareth the Lord. + +** Sirach 25:14 + +The fear of God hath set itself above all things: + +** Sirach 25:15 + +Blessed is the man, to whom it is given to have the fear of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shall he be likened? + +** Sirach 25:16 + +The fear of God is the beginning of his love: and the beginning of faith is to be fast joined unto it. + +** Sirach 25:17 + +The sadness of the heart is every plague: and the wickedness of a woman is all evil. + +** Sirach 25:18 + +And a man will choose any plague, but the plague of the heart: + +** Sirach 25:19 + +And any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman: + +** Sirach 25:20 + +And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate him: + +** Sirach 25:21 + +And any revenge, but the revenge of enemies. + +** Sirach 25:22 + +There is no head worse than the head of a serpent: + +** Sirach 25:23 + +And there is no anger above the anger of a woman. It will be more agreeable to abide with a lion and a dragon, than to dwell with a wicked woman. + +** Sirach 25:24 + +The wickedness of a woman changeth her face: and she darkeneth her countenance as a bear: and sheweth it like sackcloth. In the midst of her neighbours, + +** Sirach 25:25 + +Her husband groaned, and hearing he sighed a little. + +** Sirach 25:26 + +All malice is short to the malice of a woman, let the lot of sinners fall upon her. + +** Sirach 25:27 + +As the climbing of a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of tongue to a quiet man. + +** Sirach 25:28 + +Look not upon a woman's beauty, and desire not a woman for beauty. + +** Sirach 25:29 + +A woman's anger, and impudence, and confusion is great. + +** Sirach 25:30 + +A woman, if she have superiority, is contrary to her husband. + +** Sirach 25:31 + +A wicked woman abateth the courage, and maketh a heavy countenance, and a wounded heart. + +** Sirach 25:32 + +Feeble hands, and disjointed knees, a woman that doth not make her husband happy. + +** Sirach 25:33 + +From the woman came the beginning of sin, and by her we all die. + +** Sirach 25:34 + +Give no issue to thy water, no, not a little: nor to a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad. + +** Sirach 25:35 + +If she walk not at thy hand, she will confound thee in the sight of thy enemies. + +** Sirach 25:36 + +Cut her off from thy flesh, lest she always abuse thee. + +* Sirach 26 + +** Sirach 26:1 + +Happy is the husband of a good wife: for the number of his years is double. + +** Sirach 26:2 + +A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and shall fulfil the years of his life in peace. + +** Sirach 26:3 + +A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds. + +** Sirach 26:4 + +Rich or poor, if his heart is good, his countenance shall be cheerful at all times. + +** Sirach 26:5 + +Of three things my heart hath been afraid, and at the fourth my face hath trembled: + +** Sirach 26:6 + +The accusation of a city, and the gathering together of the people: + +** Sirach 26:7 + +And a false calumny, all are more grievous than death. + +** Sirach 26:8 + +A jealous woman is the grief and mourning of the heart. + +** Sirach 26:9 + +With a jealous woman is a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all. + +** Sirach 26:10 + +As a yoke of oxen that is moved to and fro, so also is a wicked woman: he that hath hold of her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion. + +** Sirach 26:11 + +A drunken woman is a great wrath: and her reproach and shame shall not be hid. + +** Sirach 26:12 + +The fornication of a woman shall be known by the haughtiness of her eyes and by her eyelids. + +** Sirach 26:13 + +On a daughter that turneth not away herself, set a strict watch: lest finding an opportunity she abuse herself. + +** Sirach 26:14 + +Take heed of the impudence of her eyes, and wonder not if she slight thee. + +** Sirach 26:15 + +She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller to the fountain, and will drink of every water near her, and will sit down by every hedge, and open her quiver against every arrow, until she fail. + +** Sirach 26:16 + +The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones. + +** Sirach 26:17 + +Her discipline is the gift of God. + +** Sirach 26:18 + +Such is a wise and silent woman, and there is nothing so much worth as a well instructed soul. + +** Sirach 26:19 + +A holy and shamefaced woman is grace upon grace. + +** Sirach 26:20 + +And no price is worthy of a continent soul. + +** Sirach 26:21 + +As the sun when it riseth to the world in the high places of God, so is the beauty of a good wife for the ornament of her house. + +** Sirach 26:22 + +As the lamp shining upon the holy candlestick, so is the beauty of the face in a ripe age, + +** Sirach 26:23 + +As golden pillars upon bases of silver, so are the firm feet upon the soles of a steady woman. + +** Sirach 26:24 + +As everlasting foundations upon a solid rock, so the commandments of God in the heart of a holy woman. + +** Sirach 26:25 + +At two things my heart is grieved, and the third bringeth anger upon me. + +** Sirach 26:26 + +A man of war fainting through poverty, and a man of sense despised: + +** Sirach 26:27 + +And he that passeth over from justice to sin, God hath prepared such an one for the sword. + +** Sirach 26:28 + +Two sorts of callings have appeared to me hard and dangerous: a merchant is hardly free from negligence: and a huckster shall not be justified from the sins of the lips. + +* Sirach 27 + +** Sirach 27:1 + +Through poverty many have sinned: and he that seeketh to be enriched, turneth away his eye. + +** Sirach 27:2 + +As a stake sticketh fast in the midst of the joining of stones, so also in the midst of selling and buying, sin shall stick fast. + +** Sirach 27:3 + +Sin shall be destroyed with the sinner. + +** Sirach 27:4 + +Unless thou hold thyself diligently in the fear of the Lord, thy house shall quickly be overthrown. + +** Sirach 27:5 + +As when one sifteth with a sieve, the dust will remain: so will the perplexity of a man in his thoughts. + +** Sirach 27:6 + +The furnace trieth the potter's vessels, and the trial of affliction just men. + +** Sirach 27:7 + +As the dressing of a tree sheweth the fruit thereof, so a word out of the thought of the heart of man. + +** Sirach 27:8 + +Praise not a man before he speaketh, for this is the trial of men. + +** Sirach 27:9 + +If thou followest justice, thou shalt obtain her: and shalt put her on as a long robe of honour, and thou shalt dwell with her: and she shall protect thee for ever, and in the day of acknowledgment thou shalt find a strong foundation. + +** Sirach 27:10 + +Birds resort unto their like: so truth will return to them that practise her. + +** Sirach 27:11 + +The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities. + +** Sirach 27:12 + +A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon. + +** Sirach 27:13 + +In the midst of the unwise keep in the word till its time: but be continually among men that think. + +** Sirach 27:14 + +The discourse of sinners is hateful, and their laughter is at the pleasures of sin. + +** Sirach 27:15 + +The speech that sweareth much shall make the hair of the head stand upright: and its irreverence shall make one stop his ears. + +** Sirach 27:16 + +In the quarrels of the road is the shedding of blood: and their cursing is a grievous hearing. + +** Sirach 27:17 + +He that discloseth the secret of a friend loseth his credit, and shall never find a friend to his mind. + +** Sirach 27:18 + +Love thy neighbour, and be joined to him with fidelity. + +** Sirach 27:19 + +But if thou discover his secrets, follow no more after him. + +** Sirach 27:20 + +For as a man that destroyeth his friend, so is he that destroyeth the friendship of his neighbour. + +** Sirach 27:21 + +And as one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and thou shalt not get him again. + +** Sirach 27:22 + +Follow after him no more, for he is gone afar off, he is fled, as a roe escaped out of the snare because his soul is wounded. + +** Sirach 27:23 + +Thou canst no more bind him up. And of a curse there is reconciliation: + +** Sirach 27:24 + +But to disclose the secrets of a friend, leaveth no hope to an unhappy soul. + +** Sirach 27:25 + +He that winketh with the eye forgeth wicked things, and no man will cast him off: + +** Sirach 27:26 + +In the sight of thy eyes he will sweeten his mouth, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and on thy words he will lay a stumblingblock. + +** Sirach 27:27 + +I have hated many things but not like him, and the Lord will hate him. + +** Sirach 27:28 + +If one cast a stone on high, it will fall upon his own head: and the deceitful stroke will wound the deceitful. + +** Sirach 27:29 + +He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it. + +** Sirach 27:30 + +A mischievous counsel shall be rolled back upon the author, and he shall not know from whence it cometh to him. + +** Sirach 27:31 + +Mockery and reproach are of the proud, and vengeance as a lion shall lie in wait for him. + +** Sirach 27:32 + +They shall perish in a snare that are delighted with the fall of the just: and sorrow shall consume them before they die. + +** Sirach 27:33 + +Anger and fury are both of them abominable, and the sinful man shall be subject to them. + +* Sirach 28 + +** Sirach 28:1 + +He that seeketh to revenge himself, shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance. + +** Sirach 28:2 + +Forgive thy neighbour if he hath hurt thee: and then shall thy sins be forgiven to thee when thou prayest. + +** Sirach 28:3 + +Man to man reserveth anger, and doth he seek remedy of God? + +** Sirach 28:4 + +He hath no mercy on a man like himself, and doth he entreat for his own sins? + +** Sirach 28:5 + +He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins? + +** Sirach 28:6 + +Remember thy last things, and let enmity cease: + +** Sirach 28:7 + +For corruption and death hang over in his commandments. + +** Sirach 28:8 + +Remember the fear of God, and be not angry with thy neighbour. + +** Sirach 28:9 + +Remember the covenant of the most High, and overlook the ignorance of thy neighbour. + +** Sirach 28:10 + +Refrain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins. + +** Sirach 28:11 + +For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace. + +** Sirach 28:12 + +For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth, and as a man's strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger. + +** Sirach 28:13 + +A hasty contention kindleth a fire and a hasty quarrel sheddeth blood and a tongue that beareth witness bringeth death. + +** Sirach 28:14 + +If thou blow the spark, it shall burn as a fire: and if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: both come out of the mouth. + +** Sirach 28:15 + +The whisperer and the double tongue is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace. + +** Sirach 28:16 + +The tongue of a third person hath disquieted many, and scattered them from nation to nation. + +** Sirach 28:17 + +It hath destroyed the strong cities of the rich, and hath overthrown the houses of great men. + +** Sirach 28:18 + +It hath cut in pieces the forces of people, and undone strong nations. + +** Sirach 28:19 + +The tongue of a third person hath cast out valiant women, and deprived them of their labours. + +** Sirach 28:20 + +He that hearkeneth to it, shall never have rest, neither shall he have a friend in whom he may repose. + +** Sirach 28:21 + +The stroke of a whip maketh a blue mark: but the stroke of the tongue will break the bones. + +** Sirach 28:22 + +Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not so many as have perished by their own tongue. + +** Sirach 28:23 + +Blessed is he that is defended from a wicked tongue, that hath not passed into the wrath thereof, and that hath not drawn the yoke thereof, and hath not been bound in its bands. + +** Sirach 28:24 + +For its yoke is a yoke of iron: and its bands are bands of brass. + +** Sirach 28:25 + +The death thereof is a most evil death: and hell is preferable to it. + +** Sirach 28:26 + +Its continuance shall not be for a long time, but it shall possess the ways of the unjust: and the just shall not be burnt with its flame. + +** Sirach 28:27 + +They that forsake God shall fall into it, and it shall burn in them, and shall not be quenched, and it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and as a leopard it shall tear them. + +** Sirach 28:28 + +Hedge in thy ears with thorns, hear not a wicked tongue, and make doors and bars to thy mouth. + +** Sirach 28:29 + +Melt down thy gold and silver, and make a balance for thy words, and a just bridle for thy mouth: + +** Sirach 28:30 + +And take heed lest thou slip with thy tongue, and

deal faithfully with him: and thou shalt always find that which is necessary for thee. + +** Sirach 29:4 + +Many have looked upon a thing lent as a thing found, and have given trouble to them that helped them. + +** Sirach 29:5 + +Till they receive, they kiss the hands of the lender, and in promises they humble their voice: + +** Sirach 29:6 + +But when they should repay, they will ask time,

had found it: + +** Sirach 29:8 + +But if not, he will defraud him of his money, and he shall get him for an enemy without cause. + +** Sirach 29:9 + +And he will pay him with reproaches and curses,

be set on edge. + +** Sirach 30:11 + +Give him not liberty in his youth, and wink not at his devices. + +** Sirach 30:12 + +Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat his sides while he is a child, lest he grow stubborn, and regard thee not, and so be a sorrow of heart to thee. + +** Sirach 30:13 + +Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee. + +**

+** Sirach 43:5 + +Great is the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course. + +** Sirach 43:6 + +And the moon in all in her season, is for a declaration of times and a sign of the world. + +** Sirach 43:7 + +From the moon is the sign of the festival day, a light that decreaseth in her perfection. + +** Sirach 43:8 + +The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her perfection. + +** Sirach 43:9 + +Being an instrument of the armies on high, shining gloriously in the firmament of heaven. + +** Sirach 43:10 + +The glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven; the Lord enlighteneth the world on high. + +** Sirach 43:11 + +By the words of the holy one they stand in judgment, and shall never fall in their watches. + +** Sirach 43:12 + +Look upon the rainbow, and bless him that made it: it is very beautiful in its brightness. + +** Sirach 43:13 + +It encompasseth the heaven about with the circle of its glory, the hands of the most High have displayed it. + +** Sirach 43:14 + +By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall apace, and sendeth forth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment. + +** Sirach 43:15 + +Through this are the treasures opened, and the clouds fly out like birds. + +** Sirach 43:16 + +By his greatness he hath fixed the clouds, and the hailstones are broken. + +** Sirach 43:17 + +At his sight shall the mountains be shaken, and at his will the south wind shall blow. + +** Sirach 43:18 + +The noise of his thunder shall strike the earth, so doth the northern storm, and the whirlwind: + +** Sirach 43:19 + +And as

cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into crystal; upon every gathering together of waters it shall rest, and shall clothe the waters as a breastplate. + +** Sirach 43:23 + +And it

the beginning. + +** Sirach 44:3 + +Such as have borne rule in their dominions, men of great power, and endued with their wisdom, shewing forth in the prophets the dignity of prophets, + +** Sirach 44:4 + +And ruling over the present people, and by the strength of wisdom instructing the people in most holy words. + +** Sirach 44:5 + +Such as by their skill sought out musical tunes, and published canticles of the scriptures. + +** Sirach 44:6 + +Rich men in virtue, studying beautifulness: living at peace in their houses. + +** Sirach 44:7 + +All these have gained glory in their generations,

there is no memorial: who are perished, as if they had never been: and are become as if they had never been born, and their children with them. + +** Sirach 44:10 + +But these were men of mercy, whose godly deeds have not failed: + +** Sirach 44:11 + +Good things continue with their seed, + +** Sirach 44:12 + +Their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their seed hath stood in the covenants. + +** Sirach 44:13 + +And their children for their sakes remain for ever: their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken. + +** Sirach 44:14 + +Their bodies are buried in peace, and their name liveth unto generation and generation. + +** Sirach 44:15 + +Let the people shew forth their wisdom, and the church declare their praise. + +** Sirach 44:16 + +Henoch pleased God, and was translated into paradise, that he may give repentance to the nations. + +** Sirach 44:17 + +Noe was found perfect, just, and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. + +** Sirach 44:18 + +Therefore was there a remnant left to the earth, when the flood came. + +** Sirach 44:19 + +The covenants of the world were made with him, that all flesh should no more be destroyed with the flood. + +** Sirach 44:20 + +Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and there was not found the like to him in glory, who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him. + +** Sirach 44:21 + +In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful. + +** Sirach 44:22 + +Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth, + +** Sirach 44:23 + +And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. + +** Sirach 44:24 + +And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father. + +** Sirach 44:25 + +The Lord gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed his covenant upon the head of Jacob. + +** Sirach 44:26 + +He acknowledged him in his blessings, and gave him an inheritance, and divided him his portion in twelve tribes. + +** Sirach 44:27 + +And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh. + +* Sirach 45 + +** Sirach 45:1 + +Moses was beloved of God, and men: whose memory is in benediction. + +** Sirach 45:2 + +He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. + +** Sirach 45:3 + +He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory. + +** Sirach 45:4 + +He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. + +** Sirach 45:5 + +For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. + +** Sirach 45:6 + +And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments. + +** Sirach 45:7 + +He exalted Aaron his brother, and like to himself of the tribe of Levi: + +** Sirach 45:8 + +He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the nation, and made him blessed in glory, + +** Sirach 45:9 + +And he girded him about with a glorious girdle, and clothed him with a robe of glory, and crowned him with majestic attire. + +** Sirach 45:10 + +He put upon him a garment to the feet, and breeches, and an ephod, and he compassed him with many little bells of gold all round about, + +** Sirach 45:11 + +That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people. + +** Sirach 45:12 + +He gave him a holy robe of gold, and blue, and purple, a woven work of a wise man, endued with judgment and truth: + +** Sirach 45:13 + +Of twisted scarlet the work of an artist, with precious stones cut and set in gold, and graven by the work of a lapidary for a memorial, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. + +** Sirach 45:14 + +And a crown of gold upon his mitre wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour: a work of power, and delightful to the eyes for its beauty. + +** Sirach 45:15 + +Before him there were none so beautiful, even from the beginning. + +** Sirach 45:16 + +No stranger was ever clothed with them, but only his children alone, and his grandchildren for ever. + +** Sirach 45:17 + +His sacrifices were consumed with fire every day. + +** Sirach 45:18 + +Moses filled his hands and anointed him with holy oil. + +** Sirach 45:19 + +This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name. + +** Sirach 45:20 + +He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people: + +** Sirach 45:21 + +And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law. + +** Sirach 45:22 + +And strangers stood up against him, and through envy the men that were with Dathan and Abiron, compassed him about in the wilderness, and the congregation of Core in their wrath. + +** Sirach 45:23 + +The Lord God saw and it pleased him not, and they were consumed in his wrathful indignation. + +** Sirach 45:24 + +He wrought wonders upon them, and consumed them with a flame of fire. + +** Sirach 45:25 + +And he added glory to Aaron, and gave him an inheritance, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase of the earth. + +** Sirach 45:26 + +He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed. + +** Sirach 45:27 + +But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance. + +** Sirach 45:28 + +Phinees the son of Eleazar is the third in glory, by imitating him in the fear of the Lord: + +** Sirach 45:29 + +And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel. + +** Sirach 45:30 + +Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever. + +** Sirach 45:31 + +And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good things might not be abolished, and he made their glory in their nation everlasting. + +* Sirach 46 + +** Sirach 46:1 + +Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name, + +** Sirach 46:2 + +Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel. + +** Sirach 46:3 + +How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities? + +** Sirach 46:4 + +Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies. + +** Sirach 46:5 + +Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two? + +** Sirach 46:6 + +He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of exceeding great force. + +** Sirach 46:7 + +He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries. + +** Sirach 46:8 + +That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God.

Tobit 3:24 + +At that time the prayers of them both were heard in the sight of the glory of the most high God: + +** Tobit 3:25 + +And the holy angel of the Lord, Raphael was sent to heal them both, whose prayers at one time were rehearsed in the sight of the Lord. + +* Tobit 4 + +** Tobit 4:1 + +Therefore when Tobias thought that his prayer was heard that he might die, he called to him Tobias his son, + +** Tobit 4:2 + +And said to him: Hear, my son, the words of my mouth, and lay them as a foundation in thy heart. + +** Tobit 4:3 + +When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body: and thou shalt honour thy mother all the days of her life: + +** Tobit 4:4 + +For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for thee in her womb. + +** Tobit 4:5 + +And when she also shall have ended the time of her life, bury her by me. + +** Tobit 4:6 + +And all the days of thy life have God in thy mind: and take heed thou never consent to sin, nor transgress the commandments of the Lord our God. + +** Tobit 4:7 + +Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord shall not be turned from thee. + +** Tobit 4:8 + +According to thy ability be merciful. + +** Tobit 4:9 + +If thou have much give abundantly: if thou have little, take care even so to bestow willingly a little. + +** Tobit 4:10 + +For thus thou storest up to thyself a good reward for the day of necessity. + +** Tobit 4:11 + +For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness. + +** Tobit 4:12 + +Alms shall be a great confidence before the most high God, to all them that give it. + +** Tobit 4:13 + +Take heed to keep thyself, my son, from all fornication, and beside thy wife never endure to know a crime. + +** Tobit 4:14 + +Never suffer pride to reign in thy mind, or in thy words: for from it all perdition took its beginning. + +** Tobit 4:15 + +If any man hath done any work for thee, immediately pay him his hire, and let not the wages of thy hired servant stay with thee at all. + +** Tobit 4:16 + +See thou never do to another what thou wouldst hate to have done to thee by another. + +** Tobit 4:17 + +Eat thy bread with the hungry and the needy, and with thy garments cover the naked, + +** Tobit 4:18 + +Lay out thy bread, and thy wine upon the burial of a just man, and do not eat and drink thereof with the wicked. + +** Tobit 4:19 + +Seek counsel always of a wise man. + +** Tobit 4:20 + +Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him. + +** Tobit 4:21 + +I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I have a note of his hand with me: + +** Tobit 4:22 + +Now therefore inquire how thou mayst go to him, and receive of him the foresaid sum of money, and restore to him the note of his hand. + +** Tobit 4:23 + +Fear not, my son: we lead indeed a poor life, but we shall have many good things if we fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is good. + +* Tobit 5 + +** Tobit 5:1 + +Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things, father, which thou hast commanded me. + +** Tobit 5:2 + +But how I shall get this money, I cannot tell; he knoweth not me, and I know not him: what token shall I give him? nor did I ever know the way which leadeth thither. + +** Tobit 5:3 + +Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it. + +** Tobit 5:4 + +But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live. + +** Tobit 5:5 + +Then Tobias going forth, found a beautiful young man, standing girded, and as it were ready to walk. + +** Tobit 5:6 + +And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man? + +** Tobit 5:7 + +But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes? + +** Tobit 5:8 + +And he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana. + +** Tobit 5:9 + +And Tobias said to him: Stay for me, I beseech thee, till I tell these same things to my father. + +** Tobit 5:10 + +Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto him. + +** Tobit 5:11 + +So going in he saluted him, and said: Joy be to thee always. + +** Tobit 5:12 + +And Tobias said: What manner of joy shall be to me, who sit in darkness and see not the light of heaven? + +** Tobit 5:13 + +And the young man said to him: Be of good courage, thy cure from God is at hand. + +** Tobit 5:14 + +And Tobias said to him: Canst thou conduct my son to Gabelus at Rages, a city of the Medes? and when thou shalt return, I will pay thee thy hire. + +** Tobit 5:15 + +And the angel said to him: I will conduct him thither, and bring him back to thee. + +** Tobit 5:16 + +And Tobias said to him: I pray thee, tell me, of what family, or what tribe art thou? + +** Tobit 5:17 + +And Raphael the angel answered: Dost thou seek the family of him thou hirest, or the hired servant himself to go with thy son? + +** Tobit 5:18 + +But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the great Ananias. + +** Tobit 5:19 + +And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee be not angry that I desired to know thy family. + +** Tobit 5:20 + +And the angel said to him: I will lead thy son safe, and bring him to thee again safe. + +** Tobit 5:21 + +And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you. + +** Tobit 5:22 + +Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set out both together. + +** Tobit 5:23 + +And when they were departed, his mother began to weep, and to say: Thou hast taken the staff of our old age, and sent him away from us. + +** Tobit 5:24 + +I wish the money for which thou hast sent him, had never been. + +** Tobit 5:25 + +For our poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as riches, that we saw our son. + +** Tobit 5:26 + +And Tobias said to her: Weep not, our son will arrive thither safe, and will return safe to us, and thy eyes shall see him. + +** Tobit 5:27 + +For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall return to us with joy. + +** Tobit 5:28 + +At these words his mother ceased weeping, and held her peace. + +* Tobit 6 + +** Tobit 6:1 + +And Tobias went forward, and the dog followed him, and he lodged the first night by the river of Tigris. + +** Tobit 6:2 + +And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came up to devour him. + +** Tobit 6:3 + +And Tobias being afraid of him, cried out with a loud voice, saying: Sir, he cometh upon me. + +** Tobit 6:4 + +And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he began to pant before his feet. + +** Tobit 6:5 + +Then the angel said to him: Take out the entrails of this fish, and lay up his heart, and his gall, and his liver for thee: for these are necessary for useful medicines. + +** Tobit 6:6 + +And when he had done so, he roasted the flesh thereof, and they took it with them in the way: the rest they salted as much as might serve them, till they came to Rages the city of the Medes. + +** Tobit 6:7 + +Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee, brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which thou hast bid me keep of the fish? + +** Tobit 6:8 + +And the angel, answering, said to him: If thou put a little piece of its heart upon coals, the smoke thereof driveth away all kind of devils, either from man or from woman, so that they come no more to them. + +** Tobit 6:9 + +And the gall is good for anointing the eyes, in which there is a white speck, and they shall be cured. + +** Tobit 6:10 + +And Tobias said to him: Where wilt thou that we lodge? + +** Tobit 6:11 + +And the angel answering, said: Here is one whose name is Raguel, a near kinsman of thy tribe, and he hath a daughter named Sara, but he hath no son nor any other daughter beside her. + +** Tobit 6:12 + +All his substance is due to thee, and thou must take her to wife. + +** Tobit 6:13 + +Ask her therefore of her father, and he will give her thee to wife. + +** Tobit 6:14 + +Then Tobias answered, and said: I hear that she hath been given to seven husbands, and they all died: moreover I have heard, that a devil killed them. + +** Tobit 6:15 + +Now I am afraid, lest the same thing should happen to me also: and whereas I am the only child of my parents, I should bring down their old age with sorrow to hell. + +** Tobit 6:16 + +Then the angel Raphael said to him: Hear me, and I will shew thee who they are, over whom the devil can prevail. + +** Tobit 6:17 + +For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust, as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power. + +** Tobit 6:18 + +But thou when thou shalt take her, go into the chamber, and for three days keep thyself continent from her, and give thyself to nothing else but to prayers with her. + +** Tobit 6:19 + +And on that night lay the liver of the fish on the fire, and the devil shall be driven away. + +** Tobit 6:20 + +But the second night thou shalt be admitted into the society of the holy Patriarchs. + +** Tobit 6:21 + +And the third night thou shalt obtain a blessing that sound children may be born of you. + +** Tobit 6:22 + +And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust, that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children. + +* Tobit 7 + +** Tobit 7:1 + +And they went in to Raguel, and Raguel received them with joy. + +** Tobit 7:2 + +And Raguel looking upon Tobias, said to Anna his wife: How like is this young man to my cousin? + +** Tobit 7:3 + +And when he had spoken these words, he said: Whence are ye young men our brethren? + +** Tobit 7:4 + +But they said: We are of the tribe of Nephtali, of the captivity of Ninive. + +** Tobit 7:5 + +And Raguel said to them: Do you know Tobias my brother? And they said: We know him. + +** Tobit 7:6 + +And when he was speaking many good things of him, the angel said to Raguel: Tobias concerning whom thou inquirest is this young man's father. + +** Tobit 7:7 + +And Raguel went to him, and kissed him with tears and weeping upon his neck, said: A blessing be upon thee, my son, because thou art the son of a good and most virtuous man. + +** Tobit 7:8 + +And Anna his wife, and Sara their daughter wept. + +** Tobit 7:9 + +And after they had spoken, Raguel commanded a sheep to be killed, and a feast to be prepared. And when he desired them to sit down to dinner, + +** Tobit 7:10 + +Tobias said: I will not eat nor drink here this day, unless thou first grant me my petition, and promise to give me Sara thy daughter. + +** Tobit 7:11 + +Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition, + +** Tobit 7:12 + +The angel said to him: Be not afraid to give her to this man, for to him who feareth God is thy daughter due to be his wife: therefore another could not have her. + +** Tobit 7:13 + +Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight. + +** Tobit 7:14 + +And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee. + +** Tobit 7:15 + +And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and fulfil his blessing in you. + +** Tobit 7:16 + +And taking paper they made a writing of the marriage. + +** Tobit 7:17 + +And afterwards they made merry, blessing God. + +** Tobit 7:18 + +And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and bade her to prepare another chamber. + +** Tobit 7:19 + +And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept. + +** Tobit 7:20 + +And she said to her: Be of good cheer, my daughter: the Lord of heaven give thee joy for the trouble thou hast undergone. + +* Tobit 8 + +** Tobit 8:1 + +And after they had supped, they brought in the young man to her. + +** Tobit 8:2 + +And Tobias remembering the angel's word, took out of his bag part of the liver, and laid it upon burning coals. + +** Tobit 8:3 + +Then the angel Raphael took the devil, and bound him in the desert of upper Egypt. + +** Tobit 8:4 + +Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, and said to her: Sara, arise, and let us pray to God to day, and to morrow, and the next day: because for these three nights we are joined to God: and when the third night is over, we will be in our own wedlock. + +** Tobit 8:5 + +For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined together like heathens that know not God. + +** Tobit 8:6 + +So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health might be given them. + +** Tobit 8:7 + +And Tobias said: Lord God of our fathers, may the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy creatures that are in them, bless thee. + +** Tobit 8:8 + +Thou madest Adam of the slime of the earth, and gavest him Eve for a helper. + +** Tobit 8:9 + +And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name may be blessed for ever and ever. + +** Tobit 8:10 + +Sara also said: Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, and let us grow old both together in health. + +** Tobit 8:11 + +And it came to pass about the cockcrowing, Raguel ordered his servants to be called for, and they went with him together to dig a grave. + +** Tobit 8:12 + +For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her. + +** Tobit 8:13 + +And when they had prepared the pit, Raguel went back to his wife, and said to her: + +** Tobit 8:14 + +Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may bury him before it be day. + +** Tobit 8:15 + +So she sent one of her maidservants, who went into the chamber, and found them safe and sound, sleeping both together. + +** Tobit 8:16 + +And returning she brought the good news: and Raguel and Anna his wife blessed the Lord, + +** Tobit 8:17 + +And said: We bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because it hath not happened as we suspected. + +** Tobit 8:18 + +For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the enemy that persecuted us. + +** Tobit 8:19 + +And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone art God in all the earth. + +** Tobit 8:20 + +And immediately Raguel commanded his servants, to fill up the pit they had made, before it was day. + +** Tobit 8:21 + +And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey. + +** Tobit 8:22 + +He caused also two fat kine, and four wethers to be killed, and a banquet to be prepared for all his neighbours, and all his friends. + +** Tobit 8:23 + +And Raguel adjured Tobias, to abide with him two weeks. + +** Tobit 8:24 + +And of all things which Raguel possessed, he gave one half to Tobias, and made a writing, that the half that remained should after their decease come also to Tobias. + +* Tobit 9 + +** Tobit 9:1 + +Then Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and said to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words: + +** Tobit 9:2 + +If I should give myself to be thy servant I should not make a worthy return for thy care. + +** Tobit 9:3 + +However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and servants, and to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore to him his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come to my wedding. + +** Tobit 9:4 + +For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted. + +** Tobit 9:5 + +And indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me, whose adjuring I cannot despise. + +** Tobit 9:6 + +Then Raphael took four of Raguel's servants, and two camels, and went to Rages the city of the Medes: and finding Gabelus, gave him his note of hand, and received of him all the money. + +** Tobit 9:7 + +And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding. + +** Tobit 9:8 + +And when he was come into Raguel's house he found Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and Gabelus wept, and blessed God, + +** Tobit 9:9 + +And said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou art the son of a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth almsdeeds: + +** Tobit 9:10 + +And may a blessing come upon thy wife and upon your parents. + +** Tobit 9:11 + +And may you see your children, and your children's children, unto the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by the God of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever. + +** Tobit 9:12 + +And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast: but the marriage feast they celebrated also with the fear of the Lord. + +* Tobit 10 + +** Tobit 10:1 + +But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there? + +** Tobit 10:2 + +Is Gabelus dead, thinkest thou, and no man will pay him the money? + +** Tobit 10:3 + +And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weep together, because their son did not return to them on the day appointed. + +** Tobit 10:4 + +But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity? + +** Tobit 10:5 + +We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let thee go from us. + +** Tobit 10:6 + +And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty. + +** Tobit 10:7 + +But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off. + +** Tobit 10:8 + +But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health. + +** Tobit 10:9 + +And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them. + +** Tobit 10:10 + +And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him, + +** Tobit 10:11 + +Saying: The holy angel of the Lord be with you in your journey, and bring you through safe, and that you may find all things well about your parents, and my eyes may see your children before I die. + +** Tobit 10:12 + +And the parents taking their daughter kissed her, and let her go: + +** Tobit 10:13 + +Admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to love her husband, to take care of the family, to govern the house, and to behave herself irreprehensibly. + +* Tobit 11 + +** Tobit 11:1 + +And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the midway to Ninive, the eleventh day. + +** Tobit 11:2 + +And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst leave thy father. + +** Tobit 11:3 + +If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts. + +** Tobit 11:4 + +And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias took some of that gall and departed. + +** Tobit 11:5 + +But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from whence she might see afar off. + +** Tobit 11:6 + +And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh. + +** Tobit 11:7 + +And Raphael said to Tobias: As soon as thou shalt come into thy house, forthwith adore the Lord thy God: and giving thanks to him, go to thy father, and kiss him. + +** Tobit 11:8 + +And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee. + +** Tobit 11:9 + +Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail. + +** Tobit 11:10 + +And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son. + +** Tobit 11:11 + +And receiving him kissed him, as did also his wife, and they began to weep for joy. + +** Tobit 11:12 + +And when they had adored God, and given him thanks, they sat down together. + +** Tobit 11:13 + +Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father's eyes. + +** Tobit 11:14 + +And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg. + +** Tobit 11:15 + +And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and recovered his sight. + +** Tobit 11:16 + +And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew him. + +** Tobit 11:17 + +And Tobias said: I bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because thou hast chastised me, and thou hast saved me and behold I see Tobias my son. + +** Tobit 11:18 + +And after seven days Sara his son's wife and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus, + +** Tobit 11:19 + +And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him. + +** Tobit 11:20 + +And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had done for him. + +** Tobit 11:21 + +And for seven days they feasted and rejoiced all with great joy. + +* Tobit 12 + +** Tobit 12:1 + +Then Tobias called to him his son and said to him: What can we give to this holy man, that is come with thee? + +** Tobit 12:2 + +Tobias answering, said to his father: Father, what wages shall we give him? or what can be worthy of his benefits? + +** Tobit 12:3 + +He conducted me and brought me safe again, he received the money of Gabelus, he caused me to have my wife, and he chased from her the evil spirit, he gave joy to her parents, myself he delivered from being devoured by the fish, thee also he hath made to see the light of heaven, and we are filled with all good things through him. What can we give him sufficient for these things? + +** Tobit 12:4 + +But I beseech thee, my father, to desire him, that he would vouchsafe to accept of one half of all things that have been brought. + +** Tobit 12:5 + +So the father and the son calling him, took him aside: and began to desire him that he would vouchsafe to accept of half of all things that they had brought, + +** Tobit 12:6 + +Then he said to them secretly, Bless ye the God of heaven, give glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his mercy to you. + +** Tobit 12:7 + +For it is good to hide the secret of a king: to reveal and confess the works of God. + +** Tobit 12:8 + +Prayer is good with fasting and alms more than to lay up treasures of gold. + +** Tobit 12:9 + +For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting. + +** Tobit 12:10 + +But they that commit sin and iniquity, are enemies to their own soul. + +** Tobit 12:11 + +I discover then the truth unto you, and I will not hide the secret from you. + +** Tobit 12:12 + +When thou didst pray with tears, and didst bury the dead, and didst leave thy dinner, and hide the dead by day in thy house, and bury them by night, I offered thy prayer to the Lord. + +** Tobit 12:13 + +And because thou wast acceptable to God, it was necessary that temptation should prove thee. + +** Tobit 12:14 + +And now the Lord hath sent me to heal thee, and to deliver Sara thy son's wife from the devil. + +** Tobit 12:15 + +For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord. + +** Tobit 12:16 + +And when they had heard these things, they were troubled, and being seized with fear they fell upon the ground on their face. + +** Tobit 12:17 + +And the angel said to them: Peace be to you, fear not. + +** Tobit 12:18 + +For when I was with you, I was there by the will of God: bless ye him, and sing praises to him. + +** Tobit 12:19 + +I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you but I use an invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men. + +** Tobit 12:20 + +It is time therefore that I return to him that sent me: but bless ye God, and publish all his wonderful works. + +** Tobit 12:21 + +And when he had said these things, he was taken from their sight, and they could see him no more. + +** Tobit 12:22 + +Then they lying prostrate for three hours upon their face, blessed God, and rising up, they told all his wonderful works. + +* Tobit 13 + +** Tobit 13:1 + +And Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed the Lord, and said: Thou art great O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages. + +** Tobit 13:2 + +For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell, and bringest up again: and there is none that can escape thy hand. + +** Tobit 13:3 + +Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the Gentiles: + +** Tobit 13:4 + +Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him. + +** Tobit 13:5 + +He hath chastised us for our iniquities:

be nothing regarded, and their last old age shall be without honour. + +** Wisdom 3:18 + +And if they die quickly, they shall have no hope, nor speech of comfort in the day of trial. + +** Wisdom 3:19

conflicts. + +** Wisdom 4:3 + +But the multiplied brood of the wicked shall not thrive, and bastard slips shall not take deep root, nor any fast foundation. + +** Wisdom 4:4 + +And if they flourish in branches for a time, yet standing not fast, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out. + +** Wisdom 4:5 + +For the branches not being perfect, shall be broken, and their fruits shall be unprofitable, and sour to eat, and fit for nothing. + +** Wisdom 4:6 + +For the children that are born of unlawful beds, are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial. + +** Wisdom 4:7 + +But the just man, if he be prevented with death, shall be in rest. + +** Wisdom 4:8 + +For venerable old age is not that of long time, nor counted by the number of years: but the understanding of a man is grey hairs. + +** Wisdom 4:9 + +And a spotless life is old age. + +** Wisdom 4:10 + +He pleased God, and was beloved, and living among sinners, he was translated. + +** Wisdom 4:11 + +He was taken away, lest wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul. + +** Wisdom 4:12 + +For the bewitching of vanity obscureth good things, and the wandering of concupiscence overturneth the innocent mind. + +** Wisdom 4:13 + +Being made perfect in a short space, he fulfilled a long time. + +** Wisdom 4:14 + +For his soul pleased God: therefore he hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities: but the people see this, and understand not, nor lay up such things in their hearts: + +** Wisdom 4:15 + +That the grace of God, and his mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect to his chosen. + +** Wisdom 4:16 + +But the just that is dead, condemneth the wicked that are living, and youth soon ended, the long life of the unjust. + +** Wisdom 4:17 + +For they shall see the end of the wise man, and it shall not understand what God hath designed for him, and why the Lord hath set him in safety. + +** Wisdom 4:18 + +They shall see him, and shall despise him: but the Lord shall laugh them to scorn. + +** Wisdom 4:19 + +And they shall fall after this without honour, and be a reproach among the dead for ever: for he shall burst them puffed up and speechless, and shall shake them from the foundations, and they shall be utterly laid waste: they shall be in sorrow, and their memory shall perish. + +** Wisdom 4:20 + +They shall come with fear at the thought of their sins, and their iniquities shall stand against them to convict them. + +* Wisdom 5 + +** Wisdom 5:1 + +Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours. + +** Wisdom 5:2 + +These seeing it, shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the suddenness of their unexpected salvation, + +** Wisdom 5:3 + +Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had sometime in derision, and for a parable of reproach. + +** Wisdom 5:4 + +We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour. + +** Wisdom 5:5 + +Behold, how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints. + +** Wisdom 5:6 + +Therefore we have erred from the way of truth, and the light of justice hath not shined unto us, and the sun of understanding hath not risen upon us. + +** Wisdom 5:7 + +We wearied ourselves in the way of iniquity and destruction, and have walked through hard ways, but the way of the Lord we have not known. + +** Wisdom 5:8 + +What hath pride profited us? or what advantage hath the boasting of riches brought us? + +** Wisdom 5:9 + +All those things are passed away like a shadow, and like a post that runneth on, + +** Wisdom 5:10 + +And as a ship, that passeth through the waves: whereof when it is gone by, the trace cannot be found. nor the path of its keel in the waters: + +** Wisdom 5:11 + +Or as when a bird flieth through the air, of the passage of which no mark can be found, but only the sound of the wings beating the light air, and parting it by the force of her flight: she moved her wings, and hath flown through, and there is no mark found afterwards of her way: + +** Wisdom 5:12 + +Or as when an arrow is shot at a mark, the divided air quickly cometh together again, so that the passage thereof is not known: + +** Wisdom 5:13 + +So we also being born, forthwith ceased to be: and have been able to shew no mark of virtue: but are consumed in our wickedness. + +** Wisdom 5:14 + +Such things as these the sinners said in hell: + +** Wisdom 5:15 + +For the hope of the wicked is as dust, which is blown away with the wind, and as a thin froth which is dispersed by the storm: and a smoke that is scattered abroad by the wind: and as the remembrance of a guest of one day that passeth by. + +** Wisdom 5:16 + +But the just shall live for evermore: and their reward is with the Lord, and the care of them with the most High. + +** Wisdom 5:17 + +Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his holy arm he will defend them. + +** Wisdom 5:18 + +And his zeal will take armour, and he will arm the creature for the revenge of his enemies. + +** Wisdom 5:19 + +He will put on justice as a breastplate, and will take true judgment instead of a helmet: + +** Wisdom 5:20 + +He will take equity for an invincible shield: + +** Wisdom 5:21 + +And he will sharpen his severe wrath for a spear, and the whole world shall fight with him against the unwise. + +** Wisdom 5:22 + +Then shafts of lightning shall go directly from the clouds, as from a bow well bent, they shall be shot out, and shall fly to the mark. + +** Wisdom 5:23 + +And thick hail shall be cast upon them from the stone casting wrath: the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the rivers shall run together in a terrible manner. + +** Wisdom 5:24 + +A mighty wind shall stand up against them, and as a whirlwind shall divide them: and their iniquity shall bring all the earth to a desert, and wickedness shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty. + +*

ends of the earth. + +** Wisdom 6:3 + +Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in multitudes of nations: + +** Wisdom 6:4 + +For power is given you by the Lord, and strength by the most High, who will examine your works: and search out your thoughts: + +** Wisdom 6:5 + +Because being ministers of his kingdom, you have not judged rightly, nor kept the law of justice, nor walked according to the will of God. + +** Wisdom 6:6 + +Horribly and speedily will he appear to you: for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule. + +** Wisdom 6:7 + +For to him that is little, mercy is granted: but the mighty shall be mightily tormented. + +** Wisdom 6:8 + +For God will not except any man's person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all. + +** Wisdom 6:9 + +But a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty. + +** Wisdom 6:10 + +To you, therefore, O kings, are these my words, that you may learn wisdom, and not fall from it. + +** Wisdom 6:11 + +For they that have kept just things justly, shall be justified: and they that have learned these things, shall find what to answer. + +** Wisdom 6:12 + +Covet ye, therefore, my words, and love them, and you shall have instruction. + +** Wisdom 6:13 + +Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away, and is easily seen by them that love her, and is found by them that seek her. + +** Wisdom 6:14 + +She preventeth them that covet her, so that she first sheweth herself unto them. + +** Wisdom 6:15 + +He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door. + +** Wisdom 6:16 + +To think, therefore, upon her, is perfect understanding: and he that watcheth for her, shall quickly be secure. + +** Wisdom 6:17 + +For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, and she sheweth herself to them cheerfully in the ways, and meeteth them with all providence. + +** Wisdom 6:18 + +For the beginning of her is the most true desire of discipline. + +** Wisdom 6:19 + +And the care of discipline is love: and love is the keeping of her laws: and the keeping of her laws is the firm foundation of incorruption: + +** Wisdom 6:20 + +And incorruption bringeth near to God. + +** Wisdom 6:21 + +Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to the everlasting kingdom. + +** Wisdom 6:22 + +If then your delight be in thrones, and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, love wisdom, that you may reign for ever. + +** Wisdom 6:23 + +Love the light of wisdom, all ye that bear rule over peoples. + +** Wisdom 6:24 + +Now what wisdom is, and what was her origin, I will declare: and I will not hide from you the mysteries of God, but will seek her out from the beginning of her birth, and bring the knowledge of her to light, and will not pass over the truth: + +** Wisdom 6:25 + +Neither will I go with consuming envy: for such a man shall not be partaker of wisdom. + +** Wisdom 6:26 + +Now the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the whole world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people. + +** Wisdom 6:27 + +Receive, therefore, instruction by my words, and it shall be profitable to you. + +* Wisdom 7 + +** Wisdom 7:1 + +I myself am a mortal man, like all others, and of the race of him, that was first made of the earth, and in the womb of my mother I was fashioned to be flesh. + +** Wisdom 7:2 + +In the time of ten months I was compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure of sleep concurring. + +** Wisdom 7:3 + +And being born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, that is made alike, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do. + +** Wisdom 7:4 + +I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and with great cares. + +** Wisdom 7:5 + +For none of the kings had any other beginning of birth. + +** Wisdom 7:6 + +For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out. + +** Wisdom 7:7 + +Wherefore I wished, and understanding was given me: and I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came upon me: + +** Wisdom 7:8 + +And I preferred her before kingdoms and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. + +** Wisdom 7:9 + +Neither did I compare unto her any precious stone: for all gold, in comparison of her, is as a little sand; and silver, in respect to her, shall be counted as clay. + +** Wisdom 7:10 + +I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out. + +** Wisdom 7:11 + +Now all good things came to me together with her, and innumerable riches through her hands, + +** Wisdom 7:12 + +And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all. + +** Wisdom 7:13 + +Which I have learned without guile, and communicate without envy, and her riches I hide not. + +** Wisdom 7:14 + +For she is an infinite treasure to men: which they that use, become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts of discipline. + +** Wisdom 7:15 + +And God hath given to me to speak as I would, and to conceive thoughts worthy of those things that are given me: because he is the guide of wisdom, and the director of the wise: + +** Wisdom 7:16 + +For in his hand are both we, and our words, and all wisdom, and the knowledge and skill of works. + +** Wisdom 7:17 + +For he hath given me the true knowledge of the things that are: to know the disposition of the whole world, and the virtues of the elements, + +** Wisdom 7:18 + +The beginning, and ending, and midst of the times, the alterations of their courses, and the changes of seasons, + +** Wisdom 7:19 + +The revolutions of the year, and the dispositions of the stars, + +** Wisdom 7:20 + +The natures of living creatures, and rage of wild beasts, the force of winds, and reasonings of men, the diversities of plants, and the virtues of roots, + +** Wisdom 7:21 + +And all such things as are hid, and not foreseen, I have learned: for wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me. + +** Wisdom 7:22 + +For in her is the spirit of understanding; holy, one, manifold, subtile, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, beneficent, + +** Wisdom 7:23 + +Gentle, kind, steadfast, assured, secure, having all power, overseeing all things, and containing all spirits: intelligible, pure, subtile: + +** Wisdom 7:24 + +For wisdom is more active than all active things; and reacheth everywhere, by reason of her purity. + +** Wisdom 7:25 + +For she is a vapour of the power of God, and a certain pure emmanation of the glory of the Almighty God: and therefore no defiled thing cometh into her. + +** Wisdom 7:26 + +For she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness. + +** Wisdom 7:27 + +And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself the same, she reneweth all things, and through nations conveyeth herself into holy souls, she maketh the friends of God and prophets. + +** Wisdom 7:28 + +For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. + +** Wisdom 7:29 + +For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of the stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. + +** Wisdom 7:30 + +For after this cometh night, but no evil can overcome wisdom. + +* Wisdom 8 + +** Wisdom 8:1 + +She reacheth, therefore, from end to end mightily, and ordereth all things sweetly. + +** Wisdom 8:2 + +Her have I loved, and have sought her out from my youth, and have desired to take for my spouse, and I became a lover of her beauty. + +** Wisdom 8:3 + +She glorifieth her nobility by being conversant with God: yea, and the Lord of all things hath loved her. + +** Wisdom 8:4 + +For it is she that teacheth the knowledge of God and is the chooser of his works. + +** Wisdom 8:5 + +And if riches be desired in life, what is richer than wisdom, which maketh all things? + +** Wisdom 8:6 + +And if sense do work: who is a more artful worker than she of those things that are? + +** Wisdom 8:7 + +And if a man love justice: her labours have great virtues: for she teacheth temperance, and prudence, and justice, and fortitude, which are such things as men can have nothing more profitable in life. + +** Wisdom 8:8 + +And if a man desire much knowledge: she knoweth things past, and judgeth of things to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and the solutions of arguments: she knoweth signs and wonders before they be done, and the events of times and ages. + +** Wisdom 8:9 + +I purposed, therefore, to take her to me to live with me: knowing that she will communicate to me of her good things, and will be a comfort in my cares and grief. + +** Wisdom 8:10 + +For her sake I shall have glory among the multitude, and honour with the ancients, though I be young: + +** Wisdom 8:11 + +And I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of the mighty, and the faces of princes shall wonder at me. + +** Wisdom 8:12 + +They shall wait for me when I hold my peace, and they shall look upon me when I speak; and if I talk much, they shall lay their hands on their mouth. + +** Wisdom 8:13 + +Moreover, by the means of her I shall have immortality: and shall leave behind me an everlasting memory to them that come after me. + +** Wisdom 8:14 + +I shall set the people in order: and nations shall be subject to me. + +** Wisdom 8:15 + +Terrible kings hearing, shall be afraid of me: among the multitude I shall be found good, and valiant in war. + +** Wisdom 8:16 + +When I go into my house, I shall repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness, nor her company any tediousness, but joy and gladness. + +** Wisdom 8:17 + +Thinking these things with myself, and pondering them in my heart, that to be allied to wisdom is immortality, + +** Wisdom 8:18 + +And that there is great delight in her friendship, and inexhaustible riches in the works of her hands, and in the exercise of conference with her, wisdom, and glory in the communication of her words: I went about seeking, that I might take her to myself. + +** Wisdom 8:19 + +And I was a witty child, and had received a good soul. + +** Wisdom 8:20 + +And whereas I was more good, I came to a body undefiled. + +** Wisdom 8:21 + +And as I knew that I could not otherwise be continent, except God gave it, and this also was a point of wisdom, to know whose gift it was, I went to the Lord, and besought him, and said with my whole heart: + +* Wisdom 9 + +** Wisdom 9:1 + +God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word, + +** Wisdom 9:2 + +And by thy wisdom hast appointed man, that he should have dominion over the creature that was made by thee, + +** Wisdom 9:3 + +That he should order the world according to equity and justice, and execute justice with an upright heart: + +** Wisdom 9:4 + +Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne, and cast me not off from among thy children: + +** Wisdom 9:5 + +For I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid, a weak man, and of short time, and falling short of the understanding of judgment and laws. + +** Wisdom 9:6 + +For if one be perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded. + +** Wisdom 9:7 + +Thou hast chosen me to be king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters: + +** Wisdom 9:8 + +And hast commanded me to build a temple on thy holy mount, and an altar in the city of thy dwelling place, a resemblance of thy holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning: + +** Wisdom 9:9 + +And thy wisdom with thee, which knoweth thy works, which then also was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was agreeable to thy eyes, and what was right in thy commandments. + +** Wisdom 9:10 + +Send her out of thy holy heaven, and from the throne of thy majesty, that she may be with me, and may labour with me, that I may know what is acceptable with thee: + +** Wisdom 9:11 + +For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and shall lead me soberly in my works, and shall preserve me by her power. + +** Wisdom 9:12 + +So shall my works be acceptable, and I shall govern thy people justly, and shall be worthy of the throne of my father. + +** Wisdom 9:13 + +For who among men is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of God is? + +** Wisdom 9:14 + +For the thoughts of mortal men are fearful, and our counsels uncertain. + +** Wisdom 9:15 + +For the corruptible body is a load upon the soul, and the earthly habitation presseth down the mind that museth upon many things. + +** Wisdom 9:16 + +And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth: and with labour do we find the things that are before us. But the things that are in heaven, who shall search out? + +** Wisdom 9:17 + +And who shall know thy thought, except thou give wisdom, and send thy holy Spirit from above: + +** Wisdom 9:18 + +And so the ways of them that are upon earth may be corrected, and men may learn the things that please thee? + +** Wisdom 9:19 + +For by wisdom they were healed, whosoever have pleased thee, O Lord, from the beginning. + +* Wisdom 10 + +** Wisdom 10:1 + +She preserved him, that was first formed by God, the father of the world, when he was created alone, + +** Wisdom 10:2 + +And she brought him out of his sin, and gave him power to govern all things. + +** Wisdom 10:3 + +But when the unjust went away from her in his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother. + +** Wisdom 10:4 + +For whose cause, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, directing the course of the just by contemptible wood. + +** Wisdom 10:5 + +Moreover, when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son. + +** Wisdom 10:6 + +She delivered the just man, who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis: + +** Wisdom 10:7 + +Whose land, for a testimony of their wickedness, is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul. + +** Wisdom 10:8 + +For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things; but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid. + +** Wisdom 10:9 + +But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her. + +** Wisdom 10:10 + +She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours. + +** Wisdom 10:11 + +In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable. + +** Wisdom 10:12 + +She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. + +** Wisdom 10:13 + +She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit. + +** Wisdom 10:14 + +And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory. + +** Wisdom 10:15 + +She delivered the just people, and blameless seed, from the nations that oppressed them. + +** Wisdom 10:16 + +She entered into the soul of the servant of God and stood against dreadful kings in wonders and signs. + +** Wisdom 10:17 + +And she rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night: + +** Wisdom 10:18 + +And she brought them through the Red Sea, and carried them over through a great water. + +** Wisdom 10:19 + +But their enemies she drowned in the sea, and from the depth of hell she brought them out. Therefore the just took the spoils of the wicked. + +** Wisdom 10:20 + +And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord, and they praised with one accord thy victorious hand. + +** Wisdom 10:21 + +For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of infants eloquent. + +* Wisdom 11 + +** Wisdom 11:1 + +She prospered their works in the hands of the holy prophet. + +** Wisdom 11:2 + +They went through wildernesses that were not inhabited, and in desert places they pitched their tents. + +** Wisdom 11:3 + +They stood against their enemies, and revenged themselves of their adversaries. + +** Wisdom 11:4 + +They were thirsty, and they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the high rock, and a refreshment of their thirst out of the hard stone. + +** Wisdom 11:5 + +For by what things their enemies were punished, when their drink failed them, while the children of Israel abounded therewith, and rejoiced: + +** Wisdom 11:6 + +By the same things they in their need were benefited. + +** Wisdom 11:7 + +For instead of a fountain of an ever running river, thou gavest human blood to the unjust. + +** Wisdom 11:8 + +And whilst they were diminished for a manifest reproof of their murdering the infants, thou gavest to thine abundant water unlooked for: + +** Wisdom 11:9 + +Shewing by the thirst that was then, how thou didst exalt thine, and didst kill their adversaries. + +** Wisdom 11:10 + +For when they were tried, and chastised with mercy, they knew how the wicked were judged with wrath, and tormented. + +** Wisdom 11:11 + +For thou didst admonish and try them as a father: but the others, as a severe king, thou didst examine and condemn. + +** Wisdom 11:12 + +For whether absent or present, they were tormented alike. + +** Wisdom 11:13 + +For a double affliction came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past. + +** Wisdom 11:14 + +For when they heard that by their punishments the others were benefited, they remembered the Lord, wondering at the end of what was come to pass. + +** Wisdom 11:15 + +For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just. + +** Wisdom 11:16 + +But for the foolish devices of their iniquity, because some being deceived worshipped dumb serpents and worthless beasts, thou didst send upon them a multitude of dumb beasts for vengeance: + +** Wisdom 11:17 + +That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented. + +** Wisdom 11:18 + +For thy almighty hand, which made the world of matter without form, was not unable to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions, + +** Wisdom 11:19 + +Or unknown beasts of a new kind, full of rage; either breathing out a fiery vapour, or sending forth a stinking smoke, or shooting horrible sparks out of their eyes: + +** Wisdom 11:20 + +Whereof not only the hurt might be able to destroy them, but also the very sight might kill them through fear. + +** Wisdom 11:21 + +Yea, and without these, they might have been slain with one blast, persecuted by their own deeds, and scattered by the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight. + +** Wisdom 11:22 + +For great power always belonged to thee alone: and who shall resist the strength of thy arm? + +** Wisdom 11:23 + +For the whole world before thee is as the least grain of the balance, and as a drop of the morning dew, that falleth down upon tho earth. + +** Wisdom 11:24 + +But thou hast mercy upon all, because thou canst do all things, and overlookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance. + +** Wisdom 11:25 + +For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it. + +** Wisdom 11:26 + +And how could any thing endure, if thou wouldst not? or be preserved, if not called by thee? + +** Wisdom 11:27 + +But thou sparest all: because they are thine, O Lord, who lovest souls. + +* Wisdom 12 + +** Wisdom 12:1 + +O how good and sweet is thy Spirit, O Lord, in all things! + +** Wisdom 12:2 + +And therefore thou chastisest them that err, by little and little: and admonishest them, and speakest to them, concerning the things wherein they offend: that leaving their wickedness, they may believe in thee, O Lord. + +** Wisdom 12:3 + +For those ancient inhabitants of thy holy land, whom thou didst abhor, + +** Wisdom 12:4 + +Because they did works hateful to thee by their sorceries, and wicked sacrifices, + +** Wisdom 12:5 + +And those merciless murderers of their own children, and eaters of men's bowels, and devourers of blood from the midst of thy consecration, + +** Wisdom 12:6 + +And those parents sacrificing with their own hands helpless souls, it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our parents, + +** Wisdom 12:7 + +That the land which of all is most dear to thee, might receive a worthy colony of the children of God. + +** Wisdom 12:8 + +Yet even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps forerunners of thy host, to destroy them by little and little. + +** Wisdom 12:9 + +Not that thou wast unable to bring the wicked under the just by war, or by cruel beasts, or with one rough word to destroy them at once: + +** Wisdom 12:10 + +But executing thy judgments by degrees, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a wicked generation, and their malice natural, and that their thought could never be changed. + +** Wisdom 12:11 + +For it was a cursed seed from the beginning: neither didst thou for fear of any one give pardon to their sins. + +** Wisdom 12:12 + +For who shall say to thee: What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall come before thee to be a revenger of wicked men? or who shall accuse thee, if the nations perish, which thou hast made ? + +** Wisdom 12:13 + +For there is no other God but thou, who hast care of all, that thou shouldst shew that thou dost not give judgment unjustly. + +** Wisdom 12:14 + +Neither shall king, nor tyrant, in thy sight inquire about them whom thou hast destroyed. + +** Wisdom 12:15 + +For so much then, as thou art just, thou orderest all things justly: thinking it not agreeable to the power, to condemn him who deserveth not to be punished. + +** Wisdom 12:16 + +For thy power is the beginning of justice: and because thou art Lord of all, thou makest thyself gracious to all. + +** Wisdom 12:17 + +For thou shewest thy power, when men will not believe thee to be absolute in power, and thou convincest the boldness of them that know thee not. + +** Wisdom 12:18 + +But thou being master of power, judgest with tranquillity, and with great favour disposest of us: for thy power is at hand when thou wilt. + +** Wisdom 12:19 + +But thou hast taught thy people by such works, that they must be just and humane, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope: because in judging, thou givest place for repentance for sins. + +** Wisdom 12:20 + +For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy servants, and that deserved to die, with so great deliberation, giving them time and place whereby they might be changed from their wickedness: + +** Wisdom 12:21 + +With what circumspection hast thou judged thy own children, to whose parents thou hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises? + +** Wisdom 12:22 + +Therefore whereas thou chastisest us, thou scourgest our enemies very many ways, to the end that when we judge we may think on thy goodness: and when we are judged, we may hope for thy mercy. + +** Wisdom 12:23 + +Wherefore thou hast also greatly tormented them, who, in their life, have lived foolishly and unjustly, by the same things which they worshipped. + +** Wisdom 12:24 + +For they went astray for a long time in the ways of error, holding those things for gods which are the most worthless among beasts, living after the manner of children without understanding. + +** Wisdom 12:25 + +Therefore thou hast sent a judgment upon them, as senseless children, to mock them. + +** Wisdom 12:26 + +But they that were not amended by mockeries and reprehensions, experienced the worthy judgment of God. + +** Wisdom 12:27 + +For seeing, with indignation, that they suffered by those very things which they took for gods, when they were destroyed by the same, they acknowledged him the true God, whom in time past they denied that they knew: for which cause the end also of their condemnation came upon them. + +* Wisdom 13 + +** Wisdom 13:1 + +But all men are vain, in whom there is not the knowledge of God: and who by these good things that are seen, could not understand him that is, neither by attending to the works have acknowledged who was the workman: + +** Wisdom 13:2 + +But have imagined either the fire, or the wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the great water, or the sun and moon, to be the gods that rule the world. + +** Wisdom 13:3 + +With whose beauty, if they, being delighted, took them to be gods: let them know how much the Lord of them is more beautiful than they: for the first author of beauty made all those things. + +** Wisdom 13:4 + +Or if they admired their power, and their effects, let them understand by them, that he that made them, is mightier than they: + +** Wisdom 13:5 + +For by the greatness of the beauty, and of the creature, the creator of them may be seen, so as to be known thereby. + +** Wisdom 13:6 + +But yet as to these they are less to be blamed. For they perhaps err, seeking God, and desirous to find him. + +** Wisdom 13:7 + +For being conversant among his works, they search: and they are persuaded that the things are good which are seen. + +** Wisdom 13:8 + +But then again they are not to be pardoned. + +** Wisdom 13:9 + +For if they were able to know so much as to make a judgment of the world: how did they not more easily find out the Lord thereof? + +** Wisdom 13:10 + +But unhappy are they, and their hope is among the dead, who have called gods the works of the hand of men, gold and silver, the inventions of art, and the resemblances of beasts, or an unprofitable stone the work of an ancient hand. + +** Wisdom 13:11 + +Or if an artist, a carpenter, hath cut down a tree proper for his use in the wood, and skilfully taken off all the bark thereof, and with his art, diligently formeth a vessel profitable for the common uses of life, + +** Wisdom 13:12 + +And useth the chips of his work to dress his meat: + +** Wisdom 13:13 + +And taking what was left thereof, which is good for nothing, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, carveth it diligently when he hath nothing else to do, and by the skill of his art fashioneth it, and maketh it like the image of a man: + +** Wisdom 13:14 + +Or the resemblance of some beast, laying it over with vermilion, and painting it red, and covering every spot that is in it: + +** Wisdom 13:15 + +And maketh a convenient dwelling place for it, and setting it in a wall, and fastening it with iron, + +** Wisdom 13:16 + +Providing for it, lest it should fall, knowing that it is unable to help itself: for it is an image, and hath need of help. + +** Wisdom 13:17 + +And then maketh prayer to it, enquiring concerning his substance, and his children, or his marriage. And he is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life: + +** Wisdom 13:18 + +And for health he maketh supplication to the weak, and for life prayeth to that which is dead, and for help calleth upon that which is unprofitable: + +** Wisdom 13:19 + +And for a good journey he petitioneth him that cannot walk: and for getting, and for working, and for the event of all things he asketh him that is unable to do any thing. + +* Wisdom 14 + +** Wisdom 14:1 + +Again, another designing to sail, and beginning to make his voyage through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more frail than the wood that carrieth him. + +** Wisdom 14:2 + +For this the desire of gain devised, and the workman built it by his skill. + +** Wisdom 14:3 + +But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way even in the sea, and a most sure path among the waves, + +** Wisdom 14:4 + +Shewing that thou art able to save out of all things, yea, though a man went to sea without art. + +** Wisdom 14:5 + +But that the works of thy wisdom might not be idle: therefore men also trust their lives even to a little wood, and passing over the sea by ship, are saved. + +** Wisdom 14:6 + +And from the beginning also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world fleeing to a vessel, which was governed by thy hand, left to the world seed of generation. + +** Wisdom 14:7 + +For blessed is the wood, by which justice cometh + +** Wisdom 14:8 + +But the idol that is made by hands, is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he because he made it; and it because being frail it is called a god. + +** Wisdom 14:9 + +But to God the wicked and his wickedness are hateful alike. + +** Wisdom 14:10 + +For that which is made, together with him that made it, shall suffer torments. + +** Wisdom 14:11 + +Therefore there shall be no respect had even to the idols of the Gentiles: because the creatures of God are turned to an abomination, and a temptation to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise. + +** Wisdom 14:12 + +For the beginning of fornication is the devising of idols: and the invention of them is the corruption of life. + +** Wisdom 14:13 + +For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever. + +** Wisdom 14:14 + +For by the vanity of men they came into the world: and therefore they shall be found to come shortly to an end. + +** Wisdom 14:15 + +For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son, who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants. + +** Wisdom 14:16 + +Then, in process of time, wicked custom prevailing, this error was kept as a law, and statues were worshipped by the commandment of tyrants. + +** Wisdom 14:17 + +And those whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they brought their resemblance from afar, and made an express image of the king, whom they had a mind to honour: that by this their diligence, they might honour as present, him that was absent. + +** Wisdom 14:18 + +And to the worshipping of these, the singular diligence also of the artificer helped to set forward the ignorant. + +** Wisdom 14:19 + +For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner. + +** Wisdom 14:20 + +And the multitude of men, carried away by the beauty of the work, took him now for a god, that little before was but honoured as a man. + +** Wisdom 14:21 + +And this was the occasion of deceiving human life: for men serving either their affection, or their kings, gave the incommunicable name to stones and wood. + +** Wisdom 14:22 + +And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace. + +** Wisdom 14:23 + +For either they sacrifice their own children, or use hidden sacrifices, or keep watches full of madness, + +** Wisdom 14:24 + +So that now they neither keep life, nor marriage undefiled, but one killeth another through envy, or grieveth him by adultery: + +** Wisdom 14:25 + +And all things are mingled together, blood, murder, theft, and dissimulation, corruption and unfaithfulness, tumults and perjury, disquieting of the good, + +** Wisdom 14:26 + +Forgetfulness of God, defiling of souls, changing of nature, disorder in marriage, and the irregularity of adultery and uncleanness. + +** Wisdom 14:27 + +For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil. + +** Wisdom 14:28 + +For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves. + +** Wisdom 14:29 + +For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt. + +** Wisdom 14:30 + +But for both these things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice. + +** Wisdom 14:31 + +For it is not the power of them, by whom they swear, but the just vengeance of sinners always punisheth the transgression of the unjust. + +* Wisdom 15 + +** Wisdom 15:1 + +But thou, our God, art gracious and true, patient, and ordering all things in mercy. + +** Wisdom 15:2 + +For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy greatness: and if we sin not, we know that we are counted with thee. + +** Wisdom 15:3 + +For to know thee is perfect justice: and to know thy justice, and thy power, is the root of immortality. + +** Wisdom 15:4 + +For the invention of mischievous men hath not deceived us, nor the shadow of a picture, a fruitless labour, a graven figure with divers colours, + +** Wisdom 15:5 + +The sight whereof enticeth the fool to lust after it, and he loveth the lifeless figure of a dead image. + +** Wisdom 15:6 + +The lovers of evil things deserve to have no better things to trust in, both they that make them, and they that love them, and they that worship them. + +** Wisdom 15:7 + +The potter also tempering soft earth, with labour fashioneth every vessel for our service, and of the same clay he maketh both vessels that are for clean uses, and likewise such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of these vessels, the potter is the judge. + +** Wisdom 15:8 + +And of the same clay by a vain labour he maketh a god: he who a little before was made of earth himself, and a little after returneth to the same out of which he was taken, when his life, which was lent him, shall be called for again. + +** Wisdom 15:9 + +But his care is, not that he shall labour, nor that his life is short, but he striveth with the goldsmiths and silversmiths: and he endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it a glory to make vain things. + +** Wisdom 15:10 + +For his heart is ashes, and his hope vain earth and his life more base than clay: + +** Wisdom 15:11 + +Forasmuch as he knew not his maker, and him that inspired into him the soul that worketh, and that breathed into him a living spirit. + +** Wisdom 15:12 + +Yea, and they have counted our life a pastime and the business of life to be gain, and that we must be getting every way, even out of evil. + +** Wisdom 15:13 + +For that man knoweth that he offendeth above all others, who of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels, and graven gods. + +** Wisdom 15:14 + +But all the enemies of thy people that hold them in subjection, are foolish, and unhappy, and proud beyond measure: + +** Wisdom 15:15 + +For they have esteemed all the idols of the heathens for gods, which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle, and as for their feet, they are slow to walk. + +** Wisdom 15:16 + +For man made them: and he that borroweth his own breath, fashioned them. For no man can make a god like to himself. + +** Wisdom 15:17 + +For being mortal himself, he formeth a dead thing with his wicked hands. For he is better than they whom he worshippeth, because he indeed hath lived, though he were mortal, but they never. + +** Wisdom 15:18 + +Moreover, they worship also the vilest creatures: but things without sense, compared to these, are worse than they. + +** Wisdom 15:19 + +Yea, neither by sight can any man see good of these beasts. But they have fled from the praise of God, and from his blessing. + +* Wisdom 16 + +** Wisdom 16:1 + +For these things, and by the like things to these, they were worthily punished, and were destroyed by a multitude of beasts. + +** Wisdom 16:2 + +Instead of which punishment, dealing well with thy people, thou gavest them their desire of delicious food, of a new taste, preparing for them quails for their meat: + +** Wisdom 16:3 + +To the end, that they indeed desiring food, by means of those things that were shewn and sent among them, might loath even that which was necessary to satisfy their desire. But these, after suffering want for a short time, tasted a new meat. + +** Wisdom 16:4 + +For it was requisite that inevitable destruction should come upon them that exercised tyranny: but to these it should only be shewn how their enemies were destroyed. + +** Wisdom 16:5 + +For when the fierce rage of beasts came upon these, they were destroyed by the bitings of crooked serpents. + +** Wisdom 16:6 + +But thy wrath endured not for ever, but they were troubled for a short time for their correction, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law. + +** Wisdom 16:7 + +For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee, the Saviour of all. + +** Wisdom 16:8 + +And in this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he who deliverest from all evil. + +** Wisdom 16:9 + +For the bitings of locusts, and of flies, killed them, and there was found no remedy for their life: because they were worthy to be destroyed by such things. + +** Wisdom 16:10 + +But not even the teeth of venomous serpents overcame thy children: for thy mercy came and healed them. + +** Wisdom 16:11 + +For they were examined for the remembrance of thy words, and were quickly healed, lest falling into deep forgetfulness, they might not be able to use thy help. + +** Wisdom 16:12 + +For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster, that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things. + +** Wisdom 16:13 + +For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again: + +** Wisdom 16:14 + +A man indeed killeth through malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shall not return, neither shall he call back the soul that is received: + +** Wisdom 16:15 + +But it is impossible to escape thy hand: + +** Wisdom 16:16 + +For the wicked that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thy arm, being persecuted by strange waters, and hail, and rain, and consumed by fire. + +** Wisdom 16:17 + +And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just. + +** Wisdom 16:18 + +For at one time the fire was mitigated, that the beasts which were sent against the wicked might not be burnt, but that they might see, and perceive that they were persecuted by the judgment of God. + +** Wisdom 16:19 + +And at another time the fire, above its own power, burnt in the midst of water, to destroy the fruits of a wicked land. + +** Wisdom 16:20 + +Instead of which things, thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven, prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste. + +** Wisdom 16:21 + +For thy sustenance shewed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man's will, it was turned to what every man liked. + +** Wisdom 16:22 + +But snow and ice endured the force of fire, and melted not: that they might know that the fire, burning in the hail, and flashing in the rain, destroyed the fruits of the enemies. + +** Wisdom 16:23 + +But this same again, that the just might be nourished, did even forget its own strength. + +** Wisdom 16:24 + +For the creature serving thee, the Creator, is made fierce against the unjust for their punishment: and abateth its strength for the benefit of them that trust in thee. + +** Wisdom 16:25 + +Therefore even then it was transformed into all things, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all, according to the will of them that desired it of thee: + +** Wisdom 16:26 + +That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovedst, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth men, but thy word preserveth them that believe in thee. + +** Wisdom 16:27 + +For that which could not be destroyed by fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, presently melted away: + +** Wisdom 16:28 + +That it might be known to all, that we ought to prevent the sun to bless thee, and adore thee at the dawning of the light. + +** Wisdom 16:29 + +For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's ice, and shall run off as unprofitable water. + +* Wisdom 17 + +** Wisdom 17:1 + +For thy judgments, O Lord, are great, and thy words cannot be expressed: therefore undisciplined souls have erred. + +** Wisdom 17:2 + +For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the eternal providence. + +** Wisdom 17:3 + +And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfullness, being horribly afraid, and troubled with exceeding great astonishment. + +** Wisdom 17:4 + +For neither did the den that held them, keep them from fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them, affrighted them. + +** Wisdom 17:5 + +And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night. + +** Wisdom 17:6 + +But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful: and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought the things which they saw to be worse: + +** Wisdom 17:7 + +And the delusions of their magic art were put down, and their boasting of wisdom was reproachfully rebuked. + +** Wisdom 17:8 + +For they who promised to drive away fears and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of a fear worthy to be laughed at. + +** Wisdom 17:9 + +For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for fear and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided. + +** Wisdom 17:10 + +For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things. + +** Wisdom 17:11 + +For fear is nothing else but a yielding up of the succours from thought. + +** Wisdom 17:12 + +And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment. + +** Wisdom 17:13 + +But they that during that night, in which nothing could be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the same sleep, + +** Wisdom 17:14 + +Were sometimes molested with the fear of monsters, sometimes fainted away, their soul failing them: for a sudden and unlooked for fear was come upon them. + +** Wisdom 17:15 + +Moreover, if any of them had fallen down, he was kept shut up in prison without irons. + +** Wisdom 17:16 + +For if any one were a husbandman, or a shepherd, or a labourer in the field, and was suddenly overtaken, he endured a necessity from which he could not fly. + +** Wisdom 17:17 + +For they were all bound together with one chain of darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds, among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with violence, + +** Wisdom 17:18 + +Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things made them to swoon for fear. + +** Wisdom 17:19 + +For the whole world was enlightened, with a clear light, and none were hindered in their labours. + +** Wisdom 17:20 + +But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more grievous than the darkness. + +* Wisdom 18 + +** Wisdom 18:1 + +But thy saints had a very great light, and they heard their voice indeed, but did not see their shape. And because they also did not suffer the same things, they glorified thee: + +** Wisdom 18:2 + +And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference. + +** Wisdom 18:3 + +Therefore they received a burning pillar of fire for a guide of the way which they knew not, and thou gavest them a harmless sun of a good entertainment. + +** Wisdom 18:4 + +The others indeed were worthy to be deprived of light, and imprisoned in darkness, who kept thy children shut up, by whom the pure light of the law was to be given to the world. + +** Wisdom 18:5 + +And whereas they thought to kill the babes of the just: one child being cast forth, and saved to reprove them, thou tookest away a multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water. + +** Wisdom 18:6 + +For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage. + +** Wisdom 18:7 + +So thy people received the salvation of the just, and destruction of the unjust. + +** Wisdom 18:8 + +For as thou didst punish the adversaries so thou didst also encourage and glorify us. + +** Wisdom 18:9 + +For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers. + +** Wisdom 18:10 + +But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable mourning was heard for the children that were bewailed. + +** Wisdom 18:11 + +And the servant suffered the same punishment as the master, and a common man suffered in like manner as the king. + +** Wisdom 18:12 + +So all alike had innumerable dead, with one kind of death. Neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed. + +** Wisdom 18:13 + +For whereas they would not believe any thing before by reason of the enchantments, then first upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged the people to be of God. + +** Wisdom 18:14 + +For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, + +** Wisdom 18:15 + +Thy Almighty word leaped down from heaven from thy royal throne, as a fierce conqueror into the midst of the land of destruction, + +** Wisdom 18:16 + +With a sharp sword carrying thy unfeigned commandment, and he stood and filled all things with death, and standing on the earth, reached even to heaven. + +** Wisdom 18:17 + +Then suddenly visions of evil dreams troubled them, and fears unlooked for came upon them. + +** Wisdom 18:18 + +And one thrown here, another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death. + +** Wisdom 18:19 + +For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish, and not know why they suffered these evils. + +** Wisdom 18:20 + +But the just also were afterwards touched by an assault of death, and there was a disturbance of the multitude in the wilderness: but thy wrath did not long continue; + +** Wisdom 18:21 + +For a blameless man made haste to pry for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant. + +** Wisdom 18:22 + +And he overcame the disturbance, not by strength of body nor with force of arms, but with a word he subdued him that punished them, alleging the oath and covenant made with the fathers. + +** Wisdom 18:23 + +For when they were now fallen down dead by heaps one upon another, he stood between and stayed the assault, and cut off the way to the living. + +** Wisdom 18:24 + +For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones, the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head. + +** Wisdom 18:25 + +And to these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for the proof only of wrath was enough. + +* Wisdom 19 + +** Wisdom 19:1 + +But as to the wicked, even to the end there came upon them wrath without mercy. For he knew before also what they would do: + +** Wisdom 19:2 + +For when they had given them leave to depart and had sent them away with great care, they repented and pursued after them. + +** Wisdom 19:3 + +For whilst they were yet mourning, and lamenting at the graves of the dead, they took up another foolish device: and pursued them as fugitives whom they had pressed to be gone: + +** Wisdom 19:4 + +For a necessity, of which they were worthy, brought them to this end: and they lost the remembrance of those things which had happened, that their punishment might fill up what was wanting to their torments: + +** Wisdom 19:5 + +And that thy people might wonderfully pass through, but they might find a new death. + +** Wisdom 19:6 + +For every creature, according to its kind was fashioned again as from the beginning, obeying thy commandments, that thy children might be kept without hurt. + +** Wisdom 19:7 + +For a cloud overshadowed their camps and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea a way without hindrance, and out of the great deep a springing field: + +** Wisdom 19:8 + +Through which all the nation passed which was protected with thy hand, seeing thy miracles and wonders. + +** Wisdom 19:9 + +For they fed on their food like horses, and they skipped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them. + +** Wisdom 19:10 + +For they were yet mindful of those things which had been done in the time of their sojourning, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes. + +** Wisdom 19:11 + +And at length they saw a new generation of birds, when being led by their appetite, they asked for delicate meats. + +** Wisdom 19:12 + +For to satisfy their desire, the quail came up to them from the sea: and punishments came upon the sinners, not without foregoing signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness. + +** Wisdom 19:13 + +For they exercised a more detestable inhospitality than any: others indeed received not strangers unknown to them, but these brought their guests into bondage that had deserved well of them. + +** Wisdom 19:14 + +And not only so, but in another respect also they were worse: for the others against their will received the strangers. + +** Wisdom 19:15 + +But these grievously afflicted them whom they had received with joy, and who lived under the same laws. + +** Wisdom 19:16 + +But they were struck with blindness: as those others were at the doors of the just man, when they were covered with sudden darkness, and every one sought the passage of his own door. + +** Wisdom 19:17 + +For while the elements are changed in themselves, as in an instrument the sound of the quality is changed, yet all keep their sound: which may clearly be perceived by the very sight. + +** Wisdom 19:18 + +For the things of the land were turned into things of the water: and the things that before swam in the water passed upon the land. + +** Wisdom 19:19 + +The fire had power in water above its own virtue, and the water forgot its quenching nature. + +** Wisdom 19:20 + +On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of corruptible animals walking therein, neither did they melt that good food, which was apt to melt as ice.

entreat the face of the Lord: + +** Zechariah 7:3 + +To speak to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: Must I weep in the fifth month, or must I sanctify myself as I have now done for many years? + +** Zechariah 7:4 + +And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: + +** Zechariah 7:5 + +Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: When you fasted, and mourned in the fifth and the seventh month for these seventy years: did you keep a fast unto me? + +** Zechariah 7:6 + +And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? + +** Zechariah 7:7 + +Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem as yet was inhabited, and was wealthy, both

+Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: Judge ye true judgment, and shew ye mercy and compassion every man to his brother. + +** Zechariah 7:10 + +And oppress not the widow, and the fatherless, and the stranger, and the poor: and let not a man devise evil in his heart against his brother. + +** Zechariah 7:11 + +But they would not hearken, and they turned away the shoulder to depart: and they stopped their ears, not to hear. + +** Zechariah 7:12 + +And they made their heart as the adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts sent in his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: so a great indignation came from Lord of hosts. + +** Zechariah 7:13 + +And it came to pass that as he spoke, and they heard not: so shall they cry, and I will not hear, saith the Lord of hosts. + +** Zechariah 7:14 + +And I dispersed them throughout all kingdoms, which they know not: and the land was left desolate behind them, so that no man passed through or returned: and they changed the delightful land into a wilderness. + +* Zechariah 8 + +** Zechariah 8:1 + +And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: + +** Zechariah 8:2 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have been jealous for Sion with a great jealousy, and with a great indignation have I been jealous for her. + +** Zechariah 8:3 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The sanctified mountain. + +** Zechariah 8:4 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days. + +** Zechariah 8:5 + +And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls, playing in the streets thereof. + +** Zechariah 8:6 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my eyes, saith the Lord of hosts? + +** Zechariah 8:7 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will save my people from the land of the east, and from the land of the going down of the sun. + +** Zechariah 8:8 + +And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in justice. + +** Zechariah 8:9 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Let your hands be strengthened, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, in the day that the house of the Lord of hosts was founded, that the temple might be built. + +** Zechariah 8:10 + +For before those days there was no hire for men, neither was there hire for beasts, neither was there peace to him that came in, nor to him that went out, because of the tribulation: and I let all men go every one against his neighbour. + +** Zechariah 8:11 + +But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people according to the former days, saith the Lord of hosts. + +** Zechariah 8:12 + +But there shall be the seed of peace: the vine shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew: and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. + +** Zechariah 8:13 + +And it shall come to pass, that as you were a curse among the Gentiles, O house of Juda, and house of Israel: so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strengthened. + +** Zechariah 8:14 + +For thus saith the Lord of hosts: As I purposed to afflict you, when your fathers had provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord, + +** Zechariah 8:15 + +And I had no mercy: so turning again I have thought in these days to do good to the house of Juda, and Jerusalem: fear not. + +** Zechariah 8:16 + +These then are the things, which you shall do: Speak ye truth every one to his neighbour; judge ye truth and judgment of peace in your gates. + +** Zechariah 8:17 + +And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his friend: and love not a false oath: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord. + +** Zechariah 8:18 + +And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: + +** Zechariah 8:19 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Juda, joy, and gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye truth and peace. + +** Zechariah 8:20 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts, until people come and dwell in many cities, + +** Zechariah 8:21 + +And the inhabitants go one to another, saying: Let us go, and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of hosts: I also will go. + +** Zechariah 8:22 + +And many peoples, and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the Lord. + +** Zechariah 8:23 + +Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the skirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. + +* Zechariah 9 + +** Zechariah 9:1 + +The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and of Damascus the rest thereof: for the eye of man, and of all the tribes of Israel is the Lord's. + +** Zechariah 9:2 + +Emath also in the borders thereof, and Tyre, and Sidon: for they have taken to themselves to be exceeding wise. + +** Zechariah 9:3 + +And Tyre hath built herself a strong hold, and heaped together silver as earth, and gold as the mire of the streets. + +** Zechariah 9:4 + +Behold the Lord shall possess her, and shall strike her strength in the sea, and she shall be devoured with fire. + +** Zechariah 9:5 + +Ascalon shall see, and shall fear, and Gaza, and shall be very sorrowful: and Accaron, because her hope is confounded: and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ascalon shall not be inhabited. + +** Zechariah 9:6 + +And the divider shall sit in Azotus, and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines. + +** Zechariah 9:7 + +And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: and even he shall be left to our God, and he shall be as a governor in Juda, and Accaron as a Jebusite. + +** Zechariah 9:8 + +And I will encompass my house with them that serve me in war, going and returning, and the oppressor shall no more pass through them: for now I have seen with my eyes. + +** Zechariah 9:9 + +Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem: BEHOLD THY KING will come to thee, the just and saviour: he is poor, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the foal of an ass. + +** Zechariah 9:10 + +And I will destroy the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the bow for war shall be broken: and he shall speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power shall be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth. + +** Zechariah 9:11 + +Thou also by the blood of thy testament hast sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water. + +** Zechariah 9:12 + +Return to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope, I will render thee double as I declare today. + +** Zechariah 9:13 + +Because I have bent Juda for me as a bow, I have filled Ephraim: and I will raise up thy sons, O Sion, above thy sons, O Greece, and I will make thee as the sword of the mighty. + +** Zechariah 9:14 + +And the Lord God shall be seen over them, and his dart shall go forth as lightning: and the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and go in the whirlwind of the south. + +** Zechariah 9:15 + +The Lord of hosts will protect them: and they shall devour, and subdue with the stones of the sling: and drinking they shall be inebriated as it were with wine, and they shall be filled as bowls, and as the horns of the altar. + +** Zechariah 9:16 + +And the Lord their God will save them in that day, as the flock of his people: for holy stones shall be lifted up over his land. + +** Zechariah 9:17 + +For what is the good thing of him, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corn of the elect, and

they were led away as a flock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd. + +** Zechariah 10:3 + +My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as the horse of his glory in the battle. + +** Zechariah 10:4 + +Out of him shall come forth the corner, out of him the pin, out of him the bow of battle, out of him every exacter together. + +** Zechariah 10:5 + +And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be confounded. + +** Zechariah 10:6 + +And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph: and I will bring them back again, because I will have mercy on them: and they shall be as they were when I had not cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them. + +** Zechariah 10:7 + +And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall be joyful in the Lord. + +** Zechariah 10:8 + +I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed them: and I will multiply them as they were multiplied before. + +** Zechariah 10:9 + +And I will sow them among peoples: and from afar they shall remember me: and they shall live with their children, and shall return. + +** Zechariah 10:10 + +And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and I will gather them from among the Assyrians: and will bring them to the land of Galaad, and Libanus, and place shall not be found for them. + +** Zechariah 10:11 + +And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart. + +** Zechariah 10:12 + +I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, saith the Lord. + +* Zechariah 11 + +** Zechariah 11:1 + +Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars. + +** Zechariah 11:2 + +Howl, thou fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Basan, because the fenced forest is cut down. + +** Zechariah 11:3 + +The voice of the howling of the shepherds, because their glory is laid waste: the voice of the roaring of the lions, because the pride of the Jordan is spoiled. + +** Zechariah 11:4 + +Thus saith the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter, + +** Zechariah 11:5 + +Which they that possessed, slew, and repented not, and they sold them, saying: Blessed be the Lord, we are become rich: and their shepherds spared them not. +

omnem Israël, qui præbebant annonam regi et domui ejus : per singulos enim menses in anno, singuli necessaria ministrabant. + +** I Kings 4:8 + +Et hæc nomina eorum : Benhur in monte Ephraim. + +** I Kings 4:9 + +Bendecar in Macces, et in Salebim, et in Bethsames, et in Elon, et in Bethanan. + +** I Kings 4:10 + +Benhesed in Aruboth : ipsius erat Socho, et omnis terra Epher. + +** I Kings 4:11 + +Benabinadab, cujus omnis Nephath Dor : Tapheth filiam Salomonis habebat uxorem. + +** I Kings 4:12 + +Bana filius Ahilud regebat Thanac et Mageddo, et universam Bethsan, quæ est juxta Sarthana subter Jezrahel, a Bethsan usque Abelmehula e regione Jecmaan. + +** I Kings 4:13 + +Bengaber in Ramoth Galaad : habebat Avothjair filii Manasse in Galaad : ipse præerat in omni regione Argob, quæ est in Basan, sexaginta civitatibus magnis atque muratis quæ habebant seras æreas. + +** I Kings 4:14 + +Ahinadab filius Addo præerat in Manaim. + +** I Kings 4:15 + +Achimaas in Nephthali : sed et ipse habebat Basemath filiam Salomonis in conjugio. + +** I Kings 4:16 + +Baana filius Husi in Aser, et in Baloth. + +** I Kings 4:17 + +Josaphat filius Pharue in Issachar. + +** I Kings 4:18 + +Semei filius Ela in Benjamin. + +** I Kings 4:19 + +Gaber filius Uri in terra Galaad, in terra Sehon regis Amorrhæi et Og regis Basan, super omnia quæ erant in illa terra. + +** I Kings 4:20 + +Juda et Israël innumerabiles, sicut arena maris in multitudine : comedentes, et bibentes, atque lætantes. + +** I Kings 4:21 + +Salomon autem erat in ditione sua, habens omnia regna a flumine terræ Philisthiim usque ad terminum Ægypti : offerentium sibi munera, et servientium ei cunctis diebus vitæ ejus. + +** I Kings 4:22 + +Erat autem cibus Salomonis per dies singulos triginta cori similæ, et sexaginta cori farinæ, + +** I Kings 4:23 + +decem boves pingues, et viginti boves pascuales, et centum arietes, excepta venatione cervorum, caprearum, atque bubalorum, et avium altilium. + +** I Kings 4:24 + +Ipse enim obtinebat omnem regionem quæ erat trans flumen, a Thaphsa usque ad Gazan, et cunctos reges illarum regionum : et habebat pacem ex omni parte in circuitu. + +** I Kings 4:25 + +Habitabatque Juda et Israël absque timore ullo, unusquisque sub vite sua et sub ficu sua, a Dan usque Bersabee, cunctis diebus Salomonis. + +** I Kings 4:26 + +Et habebat Salomon quadraginta millia præsepia equorum currilium, et duodecim millia equestrium. + +** I Kings 4:27 + +Nutriebantque eos supradicti regis præfecti : sed et necessaria mensæ regis Salomonis cum ingenti cura præbebant in tempore suo. + +** I Kings 4:28 + +Hordeum quoque, et paleas equorum et jumentorum, deferebant in locum ubi erat rex, juxta constitutum sibi. + +** I Kings 4:29 + +Dedit quoque Deus sapientiam Salomoni, et prudentiam multam nimis, et latitudinem cordis quasi arenam quæ est in littore maris. + +** I Kings 4:30 + +Et præcedebat sapientia Salomonis sapientiam omnium Orientalium et Ægyptiorum, + +** I Kings 4:31 + +et erat sapientior cunctis hominibus : sapientior Ethan Ezrahita, et Heman, et Chalcol, et Dorda filiis Mahol : et erat nominatus in universis gentibus per circuitum. + +** I Kings 4:32 + +Locutus est quoque Salomon tria millia parabolas : et fuerunt carmina ejus quinque et mille. + +** I Kings 4:33 + +Et disputavit super lignis a cedro quæ est in Libano, usque ad hyssopum quæ egreditur de pariete : et disseruit de jumentis, et volucribus, et reptilibus, et piscibus. + +** I Kings 4:34 + +Et veniebant de cunctis populis ad audiendam sapientiam Salomonis, et ab universis regibus terræ qui audiebant sapientiam ejus. + +* I Kings 5 + +** I Kings 5:1 + +Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri servos suos ad Salomonem : audivit enim quod ipsum unxissent regem pro patre ejus : quia amicus fuerat Hiram David omni tempore. + +** I Kings 5:2 + +Misit autem Salomon ad Hiram, dicens : + +** I Kings 5:3 + +Tu scis voluntatem David patris mei, et quia non potuerit ædificare domum nomini Domini Dei sui propter bella imminentia per circuitum, donec daret Dominus eos sub vestigio pedum ejus. + +** I Kings 5:4 + +Nunc autem requiem dedit Dominus Deus meus mihi per circuitum, et non est satan, neque occursus malus. + +** I Kings 5:5 + +Quam ob rem cogito ædificare templum nomini Domini Dei mei, sicut locutus est Dominus David patri meo, dicens : Filius tuus, quem dabo pro te super solium tuum, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo. + +** I Kings 5:6 + +Præcipe igitur ut præcidant mihi servi tui cedros de Libano, et servi mei sint cum servis tuis : mercedem autem servorum tuorum dabo tibi quamcumque petieris : scis enim quomodo non est in populo meo vir qui noverit ligna cædere sicut Sidonii. + +** I Kings 5:7 + +Cum ergo audisset Hiram verba Salomonis, lætatus est valde, et ait : Benedictus Dominus Deus hodie, qui dedit David filium sapientissimum super populum hunc plurimum. + +** I Kings 5:8 + +Et misit Hiram ad Salomonem, dicens : Audivi quæcumque mandasti mihi : ego faciam omnem voluntatem tuam in lignis cedrinis et abiegnis. + +** I Kings 5:9 + +Servi mei deponent ea de Libano ad mare, et ego componam ea in ratibus in mari usque ad locum quem significaveris mihi : et applicabo ea ibi, et tu tolles ea : præbebisque necessaria mihi, ut detur cibus domui meæ. + +** I Kings 5:10 + +Itaque Hiram dabat Salomoni ligna cedrina, et ligna abiegna, juxta omnem voluntatem ejus. + +** I Kings 5:11 + +Salomon autem præbebat Hiram coros tritici viginti millia in cibum domui ejus, et viginti coros purissimi olei : hæc tribuebat Salomon Hiram per singulos annos. + +** I Kings 5:12 + +Dedit quoque Dominus sapientiam Salomoni, sicut locutus est ei : et erat pax inter Hiram et Salomonem, et percusserunt ambo fœdus. + +** I Kings 5:13 + +Elegitque rex Salomon operarios de omni Israël, et erat indictio triginta millia virorum. + +** I Kings 5:14 + +Mittebatque eos in Libanum, decem millia per menses singulos vicissim, ita ut duobus mensibus essent in domibus suis : et Adoniram erat super hujuscemodi indictione. + +** I Kings 5:15 + +Fueruntque Salomoni septuaginta millia eorum qui onera portabant, et octoginta millia latomorum in monte, + +** I Kings 5:16 + +absque præpositis qui præerant singulis operibus, numero trium millium et trecentorum, præcipientium populo et his qui faciebant opus. + +** I Kings 5:17 + +Præcepitque rex ut tollerent lapides grandes, lapides pretiosos in fundamentum templi, et quadrarent eos : + +** I Kings 5:18 + +quos dolaverunt cæmentarii Salomonis et cæmentarii Hiram : porro Giblii præparaverunt ligna et lapides ad ædificandam domum. + +* I Kings 6 + +** I Kings 6:1 + +Factum est ergo quadringentesimo et octogesimo anno egressionis filiorum Israël de terra Ægypti, in anno quarto, mense Zio (ipse est mensis secundus), regni Salomonis super Israël, ædificari cœpit domus Domino. + +** I Kings 6:2 + +Domus autem quam ædificabat rex Salomon Domino, habebat sexaginta cubitos in longitudine, et viginti cubitos in latitudine, et triginta cubitos in altitudine. + +** I Kings 6:3 + +Et porticus erat ante templum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, juxta mensuram latitudinis templi : et habebat decem cubitos latitudinis ante faciem templi. + +** I Kings 6:4 + +Fecitque in templo fenestras obliquas. + +** I Kings 6:5 + +Et ædificavit super parietem templi tabulata per gyrum, in parietibus domus per circuitum templi et oraculi, et fecit latera in circuitu. + +** I Kings 6:6 + +Tabulatum quod subter erat, quinque cubitos habebat latitudinis, et medium tabulatum sex cubitorum latitudinis, et tertium tabulatum septem habens cubitos latitudinis. Trabes autem posuit in domo per circuitum forinsecus, ut non hærerent muris templi. + +** I Kings 6:7 + +Domus autem cum ædificaretur, de lapidibus dolatis atque perfectis ædificata est : et malleus, et securis, et omne ferramentum non sunt audita in domo cum ædificaretur. + +** I Kings 6:8 + +Ostium lateris medii in parte erat domus dextræ : et per cochleam ascendebant in medium cœnaculum, et a medio in tertium. + +** I Kings 6:9 + +Et ædificavit domum, et consummavit eam : texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis. + +** I Kings 6:10 + +Et ædificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis, et operuit domum lignis cedrinis. + +** I Kings 6:11 + +Et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem, dicens : + +** I Kings 6:12 + +Domus hæc, quam ædificas, si ambulaveris in præceptis meis, et judicia mea feceris, et custodieris omnia mandata mea, gradiens per ea, firmabo sermonem meum tibi, quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum : + +** I Kings 6:13 + +et habitabo in medio filiorum Israël, et non derelinquam populum meum Israël. + +** I Kings 6:14 + +Igitur ædificavit Salomon domum, et consummavit eam. + +** I Kings 6:15 + +Et ædificavit parietes domus intrinsecus tabulatis cedrinis : a pavimento domus usque ad summitatem parietum, et usque ad laquearia, operuit lignis cedrinis intrinsecus : et texit pavimentum domus tabulis abiegnis. + +** I Kings 6:16 + +Ædificavitque viginti cubitorum ad posteriorem partem templi tabulata cedrina, a pavimento usque ad superiora : et fecit interiorem domum oraculi in Sanctum sanctorum. + +** I Kings 6:17 + +Porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi. + +** I Kings 6:18 + +Et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur, habens tornaturas et juncturas suas fabrefactas, et cælaturas eminentes : omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur : nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete. + +** I Kings 6:19 + +Oraculum autem in medio domus, in interiori parte fecerat, ut poneret ibi arcam fœderis Domini. + +** I Kings 6:20 + +Porro oraculum habebat viginti cubitos longitudinis, et viginti cubitos latitudinis, et viginti cubitos altitudinis : et operuit illud atque vestivit auro purissimo : sed et altare vestivit cedro. + +** I Kings 6:21 + +Domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo, et affixit laminas clavis aureis. + +** I Kings 6:22 + +Nihilque erat in templo quod non auro tegeretur : sed et totum altare oraculi texit auro. + +** I Kings 6:23 + +Et fecit in oraculo duos cherubim de lignis olivarum, decem cubitorum altitudinis. + +** I Kings 6:24 + +Quinque cubitorum ala cherub una, et quinque cubitorum ala cherub altera : id est, decem cubitos habentes, a summitate alæ unius usque ad alæ alterius summitatem. + +** I Kings 6:25 + +Decem quoque cubitorum erat cherub secundus : in mensura pari, et opus unum erat in duobus cherubim, + +** I Kings 6:26 + +id est, altitudinem habebat unus cherub decem cubitorum, et similiter cherub secundus. + +** I Kings 6:27 + +Posuitque cherubim in medio templi interioris : extendebant autem alas suas cherubim, et tangebat ala una parietem, et ala cherub secundi tangebat parietem alterum : alæ autem alteræ in media parte templi se invicem contingebant. + +** I Kings 6:28 + +Texit quoque cherubim auro. + +** I Kings 6:29 + +Et omnes parietes templi per circuitum sculpsit variis cælaturis et torno : et fecit in eis cherubim, et palmas, et picturas varias, quasi prominentes de pariete, et egredientes. + +** I Kings 6:30 + +Sed et pavimentum domus texit auro intrinsecus et extrinsecus. + +** I Kings 6:31 + +Et in ingressu oraculi fecit ostiola de lignis olivarum, postesque angulorum quinque. + +** I Kings 6:32 + +Et duo ostia de lignis olivarum : et sculpsit in eis picturam cherubim, et palmarum species, et anaglypha valde prominentia : et texit ea auro, et operuit tam cherubim quam palmas, et cetera, auro. + +** I Kings 6:33 + +Fecitque in introitu templi postes de lignis olivarum quadrangulatos, + +** I Kings 6:34 + +et duo ostia de lignis abiegnis altrinsecus : et utrumque ostium duplex erat, et se invicem tenens aperiebatur. + +** I Kings 6:35 + +Et sculpsit cherubim, et palmas, et cælaturas valde eminentes : operuitque omnia laminis aureis opere quadro ad regulam. + +** I Kings 6:36 + +Et ædificavit atrium interius tribus ordinibus lapidum politorum, et uno ordine lignorum cedri. + +** I Kings 6:37 + +Anno quarto fundata est domus Domini in mense Zio : + +** I Kings 6:38 + +et in anno undecimo, mense Bul (ipse est mensis octavus), perfecta est domus in omni opere suo, et in universis utensilibus suis : ædificavitque eam annis septem. + +* I Kings 7 + +** I Kings 7:1 + +Domum autem suam ædificavit Salomon tredecim annis, et ad perfectum usque perduxit. + +** I Kings 7:2 + +Ædificavit quoque domum saltus Libani centum cubitorum longitudinis, et quinquaginta cubitorum latitudinis, et triginta cubitorum altitudinis : et quatuor deambulacra inter columnas cedrinas : ligna quippe cedrina exciderat in columnas. + +** I Kings 7:3 + +Et tabulatis cedrinis vestivit totam cameram, quæ quadraginta quinque columnis sustentabatur. Unus autem ordo habebat columnas quindecim + +** I Kings 7:4 + +contra se invicem positas, + +** I Kings 7:5 + +et e regione se respicientes, æquali spatio inter columnas, et super columnas quadrangulata ligna in cunctis æqualia. + +** I Kings 7:6 + +Et porticum columnarum fecit quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinis, et triginta cubitorum latitudinis : et alteram porticum in facie majoris porticus : et columnas, et epistylia super columnas. + +** I Kings 7:7 + +Porticum quoque solii, in qua tribunal est, fecit : et texit lignis cedrinis a pavimento usque ad summitatem. + +** I Kings 7:8 + +Et domuncula, in qua sedebatur ad judicandum, erat in media porticu simili opere. Domum quoque fecit filiæ Pharaonis (quam uxorem duxerat Salomon) tali opere, quali et hanc porticum. + +** I Kings 7:9 + +Omnia lapidibus pretiosis, qui ad normam quamdam atque mensuram tam intrinsecus quam extrinsecus serrati erant : a fundamento usque ad summitatem parietum, et extrinsecus usque ad atrium majus. + +** I Kings 7:10 + +Fundamenta autem de lapidibus pretiosis, lapidibus magnis, decem sive octo cubitorum. + +** I Kings 7:11 + +Et desuper lapides pretiosi æqualis mensuræ secti erant, similiterque de cedro. + +** I Kings 7:12 + +Et atrium majus rotundum trium ordinum de lapidibus sectis, et unius ordinis de dolata cedro : necnon et in atrio domus Domini interiori, et in porticu domus. + +** I Kings 7:13 + +Misit quoque rex Salomon, et tulit Hiram de Tyro, + +** I Kings 7:14 + +filium mulieris viduæ de tribu Nephthali, patre Tyrio, artificem ærarium, et plenum sapientia, et intelligentia, et doctrina, ad faciendum omne opus ex ære. Qui cum venisset ad regem Salomonem, fecit omne opus ejus. + +** I Kings 7:15 + +Et finxit duas columnas æreas, decem et octo cubitorum altitudinis columnam unam : et linea duodecim cubitorum ambiebat columnam utramque. + +** I Kings 7:16 + +Duo quoque capitella fecit, quæ ponerentur super capita columnarum, fusilia ex ære : quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum unum, et quinque cubitorum altitudinis capitellum alterum : + +** I Kings 7:17 + +et quasi in modum retis, et catenarum sibi invicem miro opere contextarum. Utrumque capitellum columnarum fusile erat : septena versuum retiacula in capitello uno, et septena retiacula in capitello altero. + +** I Kings 7:18 + +Et perfecit columnas, et duos ordines per circuitum retiaculorum singulorum, ut tegerent capitella quæ erant super summitatem, malogranatorum : eodem modo fecit et capitello secundo. + +** I Kings 7:19 + +Capitella autem quæ erant super capita columnarum, quasi opere lilii fabricata erant in porticu quatuor cubitorum. + +** I Kings 7:20 + +Et rursum alia capitella in summitate columnarum desuper juxta mensuram columnæ contra retiacula : malogranatorum autem ducenti ordines erant in circuitu capitelli secundi. + +** I Kings 7:21 + +Et statuit duas columnas in porticu templi : cumque statuisset columnam dexteram, vocavit eam nomine Jachin : similiter erexit columnam secundam, et vocavit nomen ejus Booz. + +** I Kings 7:22 + +Et super capita columnarum opus in modum lilii posuit : perfectumque est opus columnarum. + +** I Kings 7:23 + +Fecit quoque mare fusile decem cubitorum a labio usque ad labium, rotundum in circuitu : quinque cubitorum altitudo ejus, et resticula triginta cubitorum cingebat illud per circuitum. + +** I Kings 7:24 + +Et sculptura subter labium circuibat illud decem cubitis ambiens mare : duo ordines sculpturarum striatarum erant fusiles. + +** I Kings 7:25 + +Et stabat super duodecim boves, e quibus tres respiciebant ad aquilonem, et tres ad occidentem, et tres ad meridiem, et tres ad orientem : et mare super eos desuper erat : quorum posteriora universa intrinsecus latitabant. + +** I Kings 7:26 + +Grossitudo autem luteris, trium unciarum erat : labiumque ejus quasi labium calicis, et folium repandi lilii : duo millia batos capiebat. + +** I Kings 7:27 + +Et fecit decem bases æneas, quatuor cubitorum longitudinis bases singulas, et quatuor cubitorum latitudinis, et trium cubitorum altitudinis. + +** I Kings 7:28 + +Et ipsum opus basium, interrasile erat : et sculpturæ inter juncturas. + +** I Kings 7:29 + +Et inter coronulas et plectas, leones et boves et cherubim, et in juncturis similiter desuper : et subter leones et boves, quasi lora ex ære dependentia. + +** I Kings 7:30 + +Et quatuor rotæ per bases singulas, et axes ærei : et per quatuor partes quasi humeruli subter luterem fusiles, contra se invicem respectantes. + +** I Kings 7:31 + +Os quoque luteris intrinsecus erat in capitis summitate : et quod forinsecus apparebat, unius cubiti erat totum rotundum, pariterque habebat unum cubitum et dimidium : in angulis autem columnarum variæ cælaturæ erant : et media intercolumnia, quadrata non rotunda. + +** I Kings 7:32 + +Quatuor quoque rotæ quæ per quatuor angulos basis erant, cohærebant sibi subter basim : una rota habebat altitudinis cubitum et semis. + +** I Kings 7:33 + +Tales autem rotæ erant quales solent in curru fieri : et axes earum, et radii, et canthi, et modioli, omnia fusilia. + +** I Kings 7:34 + +Nam et humeruli illi quatuor per singulos angulos basis unius, ex ipsa basi fusiles et conjuncti erant. + +** I Kings 7:35 + +In summitate autem basis erat quædam rotunditas dimidii cubiti, ita fabrefacta ut luter desuper posset imponi, habens cælaturas suas, variasque sculpturas ex semetipsa. + +** I Kings 7:36 + +Sculpsit quoque in tabulatis illis quæ erant ex ære, et in angulis, cherubim, et leones, et palmas, quasi in similitudinem hominis stantis, ut non cælata, sed apposita per circuitum viderentur. + +** I Kings 7:37 + +In hunc modum fecit decem bases, fusura una, et mensura, sculpturaque consimili. + +** I Kings 7:38 + +Fecit quoque decem luteres æneos : quadraginta batos capiebat luter unus, eratque quatuor cubitorum : singulos quoque luteres per singulas, id est, decem bases, posuit. + +** I Kings 7:39 + +Et constituit decem bases, quinque ad dexteram partem templi, et quinque ad sinistram : mare autem posuit ad dexteram partem templi contra orientem ad meridiem. + +** I Kings 7:40 + +Fecit ergo Hiram lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas, et perfecit omne opus regis Salomonis in templo Domini. + +** I Kings 7:41 + +Columnas duas, et funiculos capitellorum super capitella columnarum duos : et retiacula duo, ut operirent duos funiculos qui erant super capita columnarum. + +** I Kings 7:42 + +Et malogranata quadringenta in duobus retiaculis : duos versus malogranatorum in retiaculis singulis, ad operiendos funiculos capitellorum qui erant super capita columnarum. + +** I Kings 7:43 + +Et bases decem, et luteres decem super bases. + +** I Kings 7:44 + +Et mare unum, et boves duodecim subter mare. + +** I Kings 7:45 + +Et lebetes, et scutras, et hamulas, omnia vasa quæ fecit Hiram regi Salomoni in domo Domini, de auricalco erant. + +** I Kings 7:46 + +In campestri regione Jordanis fudit ea rex in argillosa terra, inter Sochoth et Sarthan. + +** I Kings 7:47 + +Et posuit Salomon omnia vasa : propter multitudinem autem nimiam non erat pondus æris. + +** I Kings 7:48 + +Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa in domo Domini : altare aureum, et mensam super quam ponerentur panes propositionis, auream : + +** I Kings 7:49 + +et candelabra aurea, quinque ad dexteram, et quinque ad sinistram contra oraculum, ex auro puro : et quasi lilii flores, et lucernas desuper aureas : et forcipes aureos, + +** I Kings 7:50 + +et hydrias, et fuscinulas, et phialas, et mortariola, et thuribula, de auro purissimo : et cardines ostiorum domus interioris Sancti sanctorum, et ostiorum domus templi, ex auro erant. + +** I Kings 7:51 + +Et perfecit omne opus quod faciebat Salomon in domo Domini, et intulit quæ sanctificaverat David pater suus, argentum, et aurum, et vasa, reposuitque in thesauris domus Domini. + +* I Kings 8 + +** I Kings 8:1 + +Tunc congregati sunt omnes majores natu Israël cum principibus tribuum, et duces familiarum filiorum Israël, ad regem Salomonem in Jerusalem, ut deferrent arcam fœderis Domini de civitate David, id est, de Sion. + +** I Kings 8:2 + +Convenitque ad regem Salomonem universus Israël in mense Ethanim, in solemni die : ipse est mensis septimus. + +** I Kings 8:3 + +Veneruntque cuncti senes de Israël, et tulerunt arcam sacerdotes, + +** I Kings 8:4 + +et portaverunt arcam Domini, et tabernaculum fœderis, et omnia vasa sanctuarii quæ erant in tabernaculo : et ferebant ea sacerdotes et Levitæ. + +** I Kings 8:5 + +Rex autem Salomon, et omnis multitudo Israël quæ convenerat ad eum, gradiebatur cum illo ante arcam, et immolabant oves et boves absque æstimatione et numero. + +** I Kings 8:6 + +Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, in oraculum templi, in Sanctum sanctorum, subter alas cherubim. + +** I Kings 8:7 + +Siquidem cherubim expandebant alas super locum arcæ, et protegebant arcam, et vectes ejus desuper. + +** I Kings 8:8 + +Cumque eminerent vectes, et apparerent summitates eorum foris sanctuarium ante oraculum, non apparebant ultra extrinsecus, qui et fuerunt ibi usque in præsentem diem. + +** I Kings 8:9 + +In arca autem non erat aliud nisi duæ tabulæ lapideæ quas posuerat in ea Moyses in Horeb, quando pepigit Dominus fœdus cum filiis Israël, cum egrederentur de terra Ægypti. + +** I Kings 8:10 + +Factum est autem cum exissent sacerdotes de sanctuario, nebula implevit domum Domini, + +** I Kings 8:11 + +et non poterant sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter nebulam : impleverat enim gloria Domini domum Domini. + +** I Kings 8:12 + +Tunc ait Salomon : Dominus dixit ut habitaret in nebula. + +** I Kings 8:13 + +Ædificans ædificavi domum in habitaculum tuum : firmissimum solium tuum in sempiternum. + +** I Kings 8:14 + +Convertitque rex faciem suam, et benedixit omni ecclesiæ Israël : omnia enim ecclesia Israël stabat. + +** I Kings 8:15 + +Et ait Salomon : Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui locutus est ore suo ad David patrem meum, et in manibus ejus perfecit, dicens : + +** I Kings 8:16 + +A die qua eduxi populum meum Israël de Ægypto, non elegi civitatem de universis tribubus Israël, ut ædificaretur domus, et esset nomen meum ibi : sed elegi David ut esset super populum meum Israël. + +** I Kings 8:17 + +Voluitque David pater meus ædificare domum nomini Domini Dei Israël : + +** I Kings 8:18 + +et ait Dominus ad David patrem meum : Quod cogitasti in corde tuo ædificare domum nomini meo, bene fecisti, hoc ipsum mente tractans. + +** I Kings 8:19 + +Verumtamen tu non ædificabis mihi domum, sed filius tuus, qui egredietur de renibus tuis, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo. + +** I Kings 8:20 + +Confirmavit Dominus sermonem suum quem locutus est : stetique pro David patre meo, et sedi super thronum Israël, sicut locutus est Dominus : et ædificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israël. + +** I Kings 8:21 + +Et constitui ibi locum arcæ in qua fœdus Domini est, quod percussit cum patribus nostris quando egressi sunt de terra Ægypti. + +** I Kings 8:22 + +Stetit autem Salomon ante altare Domini in conspectu ecclesiæ Israël, et expandit manus suas in cælum, + +** I Kings 8:23 + +et ait : Domine Deus Israël, non est similis tui deus in cælo desuper, et super terram deorsum : qui custodis pactum et misericordiam servis tuis qui

+** I Kings 9:6 + +Si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri, non sequentes me, nec custodientes mandata mea et cæremonias meas quas proposui vobis, sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos, et adoraveritis eos : + +** I Kings 9:7 + +auferam Israël de superficie terræ quam dedi eis, et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo, projiciam a conspectu meo : eritque Israël in proverbium,

+ +** I Kings 9:9 + +Et respondebunt : Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum suum, qui eduxit patres eorum de terra Ægypti, et secuti sunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt eos : idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc. + +** I Kings 9:10 + +Expletis autem annis viginti postquam ædificaverat Salomon duas domos, id est, domum Domini, et domum regis + +** I Kings 9:11 + +(Hiram

et gladios non habebant : + +** I Maccabees 4:7 + +et viderunt castra gentium valida, et loricatos et equitatus in circuitu eorum, et hi docti ad prælium. + +** I Maccabees 4:8 + +Et ait Judas viris, qui secum erant : Ne timueritis multitudinem eorum, et impetum eorum ne formidetis. + +** I Maccabees 4:9 + +Mementote qualiter salvi facti sunt patres nostri in mari Rubro, cum sequeretur eos Pharao

+ +** I Maccabees 4:13 + +Et exierunt de castris in prælium, et tuba cecinerunt hi qui erant cum Juda. + +** I Maccabees 4:14 + +Et congressi sunt : et contritæ sunt gentes, et fugerunt in campum. + +** I Maccabees 4:15 + +Novissimi autem omnes ceciderunt in gladio, et persecuti sunt eos usque Gezeron, et usque in campos Idumææ, et Azoti, et Jamniæ : et ceciderunt ex illis usque ad tria millia virorum. + +** I Maccabees 4:16 + +Et reversus est Judas, et exercitus ejus sequens eum. + +** I Maccabees 4:17 + +Dixitque ad populum : Non concupiscatis spolia : quia bellum contra nos est, + +** I Maccabees 4:18 + +et Gorgias et exercitus ejus prope nos in monte : sed state nunc contra inimicos nostros, et expugnate eos, et sumetis postea spolia securi. + +** I Maccabees 4:19 + +Et adhuc loquente Juda hæc, ecce apparuit pars quædam prospiciens de monte. + +** I Maccabees 4:20 + +Et vidit Gorgias quod in fugam conversi sunt sui, et succenderunt castra : fumus enim, qui videbatur, declarabat quod factum est. + +** I Maccabees 4:21 + +Quibus illi conspectis timuerunt valde, aspicientes simul et Judam, et exercitum in campo paratum ad prælium. + +** I Maccabees 4:22 + +Et fugerunt omnes in campum alienigenarum : + +** I Maccabees 4:23 + +et Judas reversus est ad spolia castrorum, et acceperunt aurum multum, et argentum, et hyacinthinum, et purpuram marinam, et opes magnas. + +** I Maccabees 4:24 + +Et conversi, hymnum canebant, et benedicebant Deum in cælum, quoniam bonus est, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus. + +** I Maccabees 4:25 + +Et facta est salus magna in Israël in die illa. + +** I Maccabees 4:26 + +Quicumque autem alienigenarum evaserunt, venerunt, et nuntiaverunt Lysiæ universa quæ acciderant. + +** I Maccabees 4:27 + +Quibus ille auditis, consternatus animo deficiebat : quod non qualia voluit, talia contigerunt in Israël, et qualia mandavit rex. + +** I Maccabees 4:28 + +Et sequenti anno, congregavit Lysias virorum electorum sexaginta millia, et equitum quinque millia, ut debellaret eos. + +** I Maccabees 4:29 + +Et venerunt in Judæam, et castra posuerunt in Bethoron, et occurrit illis Judas cum decem millibus viris. + +** I

et quod parati sunt aut vivere, aut mori fortiter, abiit Antiochiam, et elegit milites, ut multiplicati rursus venirent in Judæam. + +** I Maccabees 4:36 + +Dixit autem Judas, et fratres ejus : Ecce contriti sunt inimici nostri : ascendamus nunc mundare sancta, et renovare. + +** I Maccabees 4:37 + +Et congregatus est omnis exercitus, et ascenderunt in montem Sion. + +** I Maccabees 4:38 + +Et viderunt sanctificationem desertam, et altare profanatum, et portas exustas, et in atriis virgulta nata sicut in saltu vel in montibus, et pastophoria diruta. + +** I Maccabees 4:39 + +Et sciderunt vestimenta sua, et planxerunt planctu magno, et imposuerunt cinerem super caput suum, + +** I Maccabees 4:40 + +et ceciderunt in faciem super terram, et exclamaverunt tubis signorum, et clamaverunt in cælum. + +** I Maccabees 4:41 + +Tunc ordinavit Judas viros ut pugnarent adversus eos qui erant in arce, donec emundarent sancta. + +** I Maccabees 4:42 + +Et elegit sacerdotes sine macula, voluntatem habentes in lege Dei : + +** I Maccabees 4:43 + +et mundaverunt sancta, et tulerunt lapides contaminationis in locum immundum. + +** I Maccabees 4:44 + +Et cogitavit de altari holocaustorum, quod profanatum erat, quid de eo faceret. + +** I Maccabees 4:45 + +Et incidit illis consilium bonum ut destruerent illud : ne forte illis esset in opprobrium, quia contaminaverunt illud gentes, et

integros secundum legem, et ædificaverunt altare novum secundum illud quod fuit prius : + +** I Maccabees 4:48 + +et ædificaverunt sancta, et quæ intra domum erant intrinsecus : et ædem, et atria sanctificaverunt. + +** I Maccabees 4:49 + +Et fecerunt vasa sancta nova, et intulerunt candelabrum, et altare incensorum, et mensam, in templum. + +** I Maccabees 4:50 + +Et incensum posuerunt super altare, et accenderunt lucernas quæ super candelabrum erant, et lucebant in templo. + +** I Maccabees 4:51 + +Et posuerunt super mensam panes, et appenderunt vela, et consummaverunt omnia opera quæ fecerant. + +** I Maccabees 4:52 + +Et ante matutinum surrexerunt quinta et vigesima die mensis noni (hic est mensis Casleu) centesimi quadragesimi octavi anni : + +** I Maccabees 4:53 + +et obtulerunt sacrificium secundum legem super altare holocaustorum novum, quod fecerunt. + +** I Maccabees 4:54 + +Secundum tempus et secundum diem in qua contaminaverunt illud gentes, in ipsa renovatum est in canticis, et citharis, et cinyris, et in cymbalis. + +** I Maccabees 4:55 + +Et cecidit omnis populus in faciem, et adoraverunt, et benedixerunt in cælum eum, qui prosperavit eis. + +** I Maccabees 4:56 + +Et fecerunt dedicationem altaris diebus octo, et obtulerunt holocausta cum lætitia, et sacrificium salutaris et laudis. + +** I Maccabees 4:57 + +Et ornaverunt faciem templi coronis aureis et scutulis, et dedicaverunt portas et pastophoria, et imposuerunt eis januas. + +** I Maccabees 4:58 + +Et facta est lætitia in populo magna valde, et aversum est opprobrium gentium. + +** I Maccabees 4:59 + +Et statuit Judas, et fratres ejus, et universa ecclesia Israël, ut agatur dies dedicationis altaris in temporibus suis ab anno in annum per dies octo a quinta et vigesima die mensis

sicut antea fecerunt. + +** I Maccabees 4:61 + +Et collocavit illic exercitum, ut servarent eum, et munivit eum ad custodiendum Bethsuram, ut haberet populus munitionem contra faciem Idumææ. + +* I Maccabees 5 + +** I Maccabees 5:1 + +Et factum est, ut audierunt gentes in circuitu quia ædificatum est altare et sanctuarium sicut prius, iratæ sunt valde : + +** I Maccabees 5:2 + +et cogitabant tollere genus Jacob, qui erant inter eos, et cœperunt occidere de populo, et persequi. + +** I Maccabees 5:3 + +Et debellabat Judas filios Esau in Idumæa, et eos qui erant in Acrabathane, quia circumsedebant Israëlitas : et percussit eos plaga magna. + +** I Maccabees 5:4 + +Et recordatus est malitiam filiorum Bean, qui erant populo in laqueum et in scandalum, insidiantes ei in via. + +** I Maccabees 5:5 + +Et conclusi sunt ab eo in turribus, et applicuit ad eos, et anathematizavit eos, et incendit turres eorum igni cum omnibus qui in eis erant. + +** I Maccabees 5:6 + +Et transivit ad filios Ammon, et invenit manum fortem, et populum copiosum, et Timotheum ducem ipsorum : + +** I Maccabees 5:7 + +et commisit cum eis prælia multa, et contriti sunt in conspectu eorum, et percussit eos : + +** I Maccabees 5:8 + +et cepit Gazer civitatem et filias ejus, et reversus est in Judæam. + +** I Maccabees 5:9 + +Et congregatæ sunt gentes quæ sunt in Galaad adversus Israëlitas, qui erant in finibus eorum, ut tollerent eos : et fugerunt in Datheman munitionem. + +** I Maccabees 5:10 + +Et miserunt litteras ad Judam et fratres ejus, dicentes : Congregatæ sunt adversum nos gentes per circuitum, ut nos auferant, + +** I Maccabees 5:11 + +et parant venire, et occupare munitionem, in quam confugimus : et Timotheus est dux exercitus eorum. + +** I Maccabees 5:12 + +Nunc ergo veni, et eripe nos de manibus eorum, quia cecidit multitudo de nobis. + +** I Maccabees 5:13 + +Et omnes fratres nostri, qui erant in locis Tubin, interfecti sunt : et captivas duxerunt uxores eorum, et natos, et spolia, et peremerunt illic fere mille viros. + +** I Maccabees 5:14 + +Et adhuc epistolæ legebantur, et ecce alii nuntii venerunt de Galilæa conscissis tunicis, nuntiantes secundum verba hæc : + +** I Maccabees 5:15 + +dicentes convenisse adversum se a Ptolemaida, et Tyro, et Sidone : et repleta est omnis Galilæa alienigenis, ut nos consumant. + +** I Maccabees 5:16 + +Ut audivit autem Judas et populus sermones istos, convenit ecclesia magna cogitare quid facerent fratribus suis, qui in tribulatione erant, et expugnabantur ab eis. + +** I Maccabees 5:17 + +Dixitque Judas Simoni fratri suo : Elige tibi viros, et vade, et libera fratres tuos in Galilæa : ego autem et frater meus Jonathas ibimus in Galaaditim. + +** I Maccabees 5:18 + +Et reliquit Josephum filium Zachariæ, et Azariam, duces populi, cum residuo exercitu in Judæa ad custodiam : + +** I Maccabees 5:19 + +et præcepit illis, dicens : Præestote populo huic : et nolite bellum committere adversum gentes, donec revertamur. + +** I Maccabees 5:20 + +Et partiti sunt Simoni viri tria millia, ut iret in Galilæam : Judæ autem octo millia in Galaaditim. + +** I Maccabees 5:21 + +Et abiit Simon in Galilæam, et commisit prælia multa cum gentibus : et contritæ sunt gentes a facie ejus, et persecutus est eos usque ad portam + +** I Maccabees 5:22 + +Ptolemaidis : et ceciderunt de gentibus fere tria millia virorum. Et accepit spolia eorum, + +** I Maccabees 5:23 + +et assumpsit eos qui erant in Galilæa et in Arbatis, cum uxoribus, et natis, et omnibus quæ erant illis, et adduxit in Judæam cum lætitia magna. + +** I Maccabees 5:24 + +Et Judas Machabæus, et Jonathas frater ejus, transierunt Jordanem, et abierunt viam trium dierum per desertum. + +** I Maccabees 5:25 + +Et occurrerunt eis Nabuthæi, et susceperunt eos pacifice, et narraverunt eis omnia quæ acciderant fratribus eorum in Galaaditide, + +** I Maccabees 5:26 + +et quia multi ex eis comprehensi sunt in Barasa, et Bosor, et in Alimis, et in Casphor, et Mageth, et Carnaim : hæ omnes civitates munitæ et magnæ. + +** I Maccabees 5:27 + +Sed et in ceteris civitatibus Galaaditidis tenentur comprehensi, et in crastinum constituerunt admovere exercitum civitatibus his, et comprehendere, et tollere eos in una die. + +** I Maccabees 5:28 + +Et convertit Judas et exercitus ejus viam in desertum Bosor repente, et occupavit civitatem : et occidit omnem masculum in ore gladii, et accepit omnia spolia eorum, et succendit eam igni. + +** I Maccabees 5:29 + +Et surrexerunt inde nocte, et ibant usque ad munitionem. + +** I Maccabees 5:30 + +Et factum est diluculo, cum elevassent oculos suos, ecce populus multus, cujus non erat numerus, portantes scalas et machinas ut comprehenderent munitionem, et expugnarent eos. + +** I Maccabees 5:31 + +Et vidit Judas quia cœpit bellum, et clamor belli ascendit ad cælum sicut tuba, et clamor magnus de civitate : + +** I Maccabees 5:32 + +et dixit exercitui suo : Pugnate hodie pro fratribus vestris. + +** I Maccabees 5:33 + +Et venit tribus ordinibus post eos, et exclamaverunt tubis, et clamaverunt in oratione. + +** I Maccabees 5:34 + +Et cognoverunt castra Timothei quia Machabæus est, et refugerunt a facie ejus : et percusserunt eos plaga magna. Et ceciderunt ex eis in die illa fere octo millia virorum. + +** I Maccabees 5:35 + +Et divertit Judas in Maspha, et expugnavit, et cepit eam : et occidit omnem masculum ejus, et sumpsit spolia ejus, et succendit eam igni. + +** I Maccabees 5:36 + +Inde perrexit, et cepit Casbon, et Mageth, et Bosor, et reliquas civitates Galaaditidis. + +** I Maccabees 5:37 + +Post hæc autem verba congregavit Timotheus exercitum alium, et castra posuit contra Raphon trans torrentem. + +** I Maccabees 5:38 + +Et misit Judas speculari exercitum : et renuntiaverunt ei, dicentes : Quia convenerunt ad eum omnes gentes quæ in circuitu nostro sunt, exercitus multus nimis : + +** I Maccabees 5:39 + +et Arabas conduxerunt in auxilium sibi, et castra posuerunt trans torrentem, parati ad te venire in prælium. Et abiit Judas obviam illis. + +** I Maccabees 5:40 + +Et ait Timotheus principibus exercitus sui : Cum appropinquaverit Judas, et exercitus ejus, ad torrentem aquæ : si transierit ad nos prior, non poterimus sustinere eum, quia potens poterit adversum nos ; + +** I Maccabees 5:41 + +si vero timuerit transire, et posuerit castra extra flumen, transfretamus ad eos, et poterimus adversus illum. + +** I Maccabees 5:42 + +Ut autem appropinquavit Judas ad torrentem aquæ, statuit scribas populi secus torrentem, et mandavit eis, dicens : Neminem hominem reliqueritis, sed veniant omnes in prælium. + +** I Maccabees 5:43 + +Et transfretavit ad illos prior, et omnis populus post eum, et contritæ sunt omnes gentes a facie eorum, et projecerunt arma sua, et fugerunt ad fanum, quod erat in Carnaim. + +** I Maccabees 5:44 + +Et occupavit ipsam civitatem, et fanum succendit igni cum omnibus qui erant in ipso : et oppressa est Carnaim, et non potuit sustinere contra faciem Judæ. + +** I Maccabees 5:45 + +Et congregavit Judas universos Israëlitas, qui erant in Galaaditide, a minimo usque ad maximum, et uxores eorum, et natos, et exercitum magnum valde, ut venirent in terram Juda. + +** I Maccabees 5:46 + +Et venerunt usque Ephron : et hæc civitas magna in ingressu posita, munita valde, et non erat declinare ab ea dextera vel sinistra, sed per mediam iter erat. + +** I Maccabees 5:47 + +Et incluserunt se qui erant in civitate, et obstruxerunt portas lapidibus : et misit ad eos Judas verbis pacificis, + +** I Maccabees 5:48 + +dicens : Transeamus per terram vestram, ut eamus in terram nostram : et nemo vobis nocebit, tantum pedibus transibimus. Et nolebant eis aperire. + +** I Maccabees 5:49 + +Et præcepit Judas prædicare in castris, ut applicarent unusquisque in quo erat loco : + +** I Maccabees 5:50 + +et applicuerunt se viri virtutis, et oppugnavit civitatem illam tota die et tota nocte, et tradita est civitas in manu ejus : + +** I Maccabees 5:51 + +et peremerunt omnem masculum in ore gladii, et eradicavit eam, et accepit spolia ejus : et transivit per totam civitatem super interfectos. + +** I Maccabees 5:52 + +Et transgressi sunt Jordanem in campo magno, contra faciem Bethsan. + +** I Maccabees 5:53 + +Et erat Judas congregans extremos, et exhortabatur populum per totam viam, donec venirent in terram Juda : + +** I Maccabees 5:54 + +et ascenderunt in montem Sion cum lætitia, et gaudio, et obtulerunt holocausta, quod nemo ex eis cecidisset donec reverterentur in pace. + +** I Maccabees 5:55 + +Et in diebus quibus erat Judas et Jonathas in terra Galaad, et Simon frater ejus in Galilæa contra faciem Ptolemaidis, + +** I Maccabees 5:56 + +audivit Josephus Zachariæ filius, et Azarias princeps virtutis, res bene gestas, et prælia quæ facta sunt, + +** I Maccabees 5:57 + +et dixit : Faciamus et ipsi nobis nomen, et eamus pugnare adversus gentes quæ in circuitu nostro sunt. + +** I Maccabees 5:58 + +Et præcepit his qui erant in exercitu suo, et abierunt Jamniam. + +** I Maccabees 5:59 + +Et exivit Gorgias de civitate, et viri ejus obviam illis in pugnam. + +** I Maccabees 5:60 + +Et fugati sunt Josephus et Azarias usque in fines Judææ : et ceciderunt illo die de populo Israël ad duo millia viri, et facta est fuga magna in populo : + +** I Maccabees 5:61 + +quia non audierunt Judam, et fratres ejus, existimantes fortiter se facturos. + +** I Maccabees 5:62 + +Ipsi autem non erant de semine virorum illorum, per quos salus facta est in Israël. + +** I Maccabees 5:63 + +Et viri Juda magnificati sunt valde in conspectu omnis Israël, et gentium omnium ubi audiebatur nomen eorum. + +** I Maccabees 5:64 + +Et convenerunt ad eos fausta acclamantes. + +** I Maccabees 5:65 + +Et exivit Judas et fratres ejus, et expugnabant filios Esau in terra quæ ad austrum est, et percussit Chebron et filias ejus : et muros ejus, et turres succendit igni in circuitu. + +** I Maccabees 5:66 + +Et movit castra ut iret in terram alienigenarum, et perambulabat Samariam. + +** I Maccabees 5:67 + +In die illa ceciderunt sacerdotes in bello, dum volunt fortiter facere, dum sine consilio exeunt in prælium. + +** I Maccabees 5:68 + +Et declinavit Judas in Azotum in terram alienigenarum, et diruit aras eorum, et sculptilia deorum ipsorum succendit igni : et cepit spolia civitatum, et reversus est in terram Juda. + +* I Maccabees 6 + +** I Maccabees 6:1 + +Et rex Antiochus perambulabat superiores regiones, et audivit esse civitatem Elymaidem in Perside nobilissimam, et copiosam in argento et auro, + +** I Maccabees 6:2 + +templumque in ea locuples valde, et illic velamina aurea, et loricæ, et scuta, quæ reliquit Alexander Philippi rex Macedo, qui regnavit primus in Græcia. + +** I Maccabees 6:3 + +Et venit, et quærebat capere civitatem, et deprædari eam : et non potuit, quoniam innotuit sermo his qui erant in civitate : + +** I Maccabees 6:4 + +et insurrexerunt in prælium, et fugit inde, et abiit cum tristitia magna, et reversus est in Babyloniam. + +** I Maccabees 6:5 + +Et venit qui nuntiaret ei in Perside, quia fugata sunt castra quæ erant in terra Juda : + +** I Maccabees 6:6 + +et quia abiit Lysias cum virtute forti in primis, et fugatus est a facie Judæorum, et invaluerunt armis, et viribus, et spoliis multis, quæ ceperunt de castris, quæ exciderunt : + +** I Maccabees 6:7 + +et quia diruerunt abominationem, quam ædificaverat super altare quod erat in Jerusalem : et sanctificationem, sicut prius, circumdederunt muris excelsis, sed et Bethsuram civitatem suam. + +** I Maccabees 6:8 + +Et factum est ut audivit rex sermones istos, expavit, et commotus est valde : et decidit in lectum, et incidit in languorem præ tristitia, quia non factum est ei sicut cogitabat. + +** I Maccabees 6:9 + +Et erat illic per dies multos, quia renovata est in eo tristitia magna, et arbitratus est se mori. + +** I Maccabees 6:10 + +Et vocavit omnes amicos suos, et dixit illis : Recessit somnus ab oculis meis, et concidi, et corrui corde præ sollicitudine : + +** I Maccabees 6:11 + +et dixi in corde meo : In quantam tribulationem deveni, et in quos fluctus tristitiæ, in qua nunc sum : qui jucundus eram, et dilectus in potestate mea ! + +** I Maccabees 6:12 + +Nunc vero reminiscor malorum quæ feci in Jerusalem, unde et abstuli omnia spolia aurea et argentea quæ erant in ea, et misi auferre habitantes Judæam sine causa. + +** I Maccabees 6:13 + +Cognovi ergo quia propterea invenerunt me mala ista : et ecce pereo tristitia magna in terra aliena. + +** I Maccabees 6:14 + +Et vocavit Philippum, unum de amicis suis, et præposuit eum super universum regnum suum : + +** I Maccabees 6:15 + +et dedit ei diadema, et stolam suam, et annulum, ut adduceret Antiochum filium suum, et nutriret eum, et regnaret. + +** I Maccabees 6:16 + +Et mortuus est illic Antiochus rex anno centesimo quadragesimo nono. + +** I Maccabees 6:17 + +Et cognovit Lysias quoniam mortuus est rex, et constituit regnare Antiochum filium ejus, quem nutrivit adolescentem : et vocavit nomen ejus Eupator. + +** I Maccabees 6:18 + +Et hi qui erant in arce, concluserant Israël in circuitu sanctorum : et quærebant eis mala semper, et firmamentum gentium. + +** I Maccabees 6:19 + +Et cogitavit Judas disperdere eos : et convocavit universum populum, ut obsiderent eos. + +** I Maccabees 6:20 + +Et convenerunt simul, et obsederunt eos anno centesimo quinquagesimo, et fecerunt ballistas et machinas. + +** I Maccabees 6:21 + +Et exierunt quidam ex eis qui obsidebantur : et adjunxerunt se illis aliqui impii ex Israël, + +** I Maccabees 6:22 + +et abierunt ad regem, et dixerunt : Quousque non facis judicium, et vindicas fratres nostros ? + +** I Maccabees 6:23 + +Nos decrevimus servire patri tuo, et ambulare in præceptis ejus, et obsequi edictis ejus : + +** I Maccabees 6:24 + +et filii populi nostri propter hoc alienabant se a nobis, et quicumque inveniebantur ex nobis, interficiebantur, et hæreditates nostræ diripiebantur. + +** I Maccabees 6:25 + +Et non ad nos tantum extenderunt manum, sed et in omnes fines nostros : + +** I Maccabees 6:26 + +et ecce applicuerunt hodie ad arcem Jerusalem occupare eam, et munitionem Bethsuram munierunt : + +** I Maccabees 6:27 + +et nisi præveneris eos velocius, majora quam hæc facient, et non poteris obtinere eos. + +** I Maccabees 6:28 + +Et iratus est rex, ut hæc audivit : et convocavit omnes amicos suos, et principes exercitus sui, et eos qui super equites erant : + +** I Maccabees 6:29 + +sed et de regnis aliis et de insulis maritimis venerunt ad eum exercitus conductitii. + +** I Maccabees 6:30 + +Et erat numerus exercitus ejus, centum millia peditum, et viginti millia equitum, et elephanti triginta duo, docti ad prælium. + +** I Maccabees 6:31 + +Et venerunt per Idumæam, et applicuerunt ad Bethsuram, et pugnaverunt dies multos : et fecerunt machinas, et exierunt, et succenderunt eas igni, et pugnaverunt viriliter. + +** I Maccabees 6:32 + +Et recessit Judas ab arce, et movit castra ad Bethzacharam contra castra regis. + +** I Maccabees 6:33 + +Et surrexit rex ante lucem, et concitavit exercitus in impetum contra viam Bethzacharam : et comparaverunt se exercitus in prælium, et tubis cecinerunt : + +** I Maccabees 6:34 + +et elephantis ostenderunt sanguinem uvæ et mori, ad acuendos eos in prælium : + +** I Maccabees 6:35 + +et diviserunt bestias per legiones, et astiterunt singulis elephantis mille viri in loricis concatenatis, et galeæ æreæ in capitibus eorum : et quingenti equites ordinati unicuique bestiæ electi erant. + +** I Maccabees 6:36 + +Hi ante tempus, ubicumque erat bestia, ibi erant : et quocumque ibat, ibant, et non discedebant ab ea. + +** I Maccabees 6:37 + +Sed et turres ligneæ super eos firmæ protegentes super singulas bestias : et super eas machinæ : et super singulas viri virtutis triginta duo, qui pugnabant desuper : et Indus magister bestiæ. + +** I Maccabees 6:38 + +Et residuum equitatum hinc et inde statuit in duas partes, tubis exercitum commovere, et perurgere constipatos in legionibus ejus. + +** I Maccabees 6:39 + +Et ut refulsit sol in clypeos aureos et æreos, resplenduerunt montes ab eis, et resplenduerunt sicut lampades ignis. + +** I Maccabees 6:40 + +Et distincta est pars exercitus regis per montes excelsos, et alia per loca humilia : et ibant caute et ordinate. + +** I Maccabees 6:41 + +Et commovebantur omnes inhabitantes terram a voce multitudinis, et incessu turbæ, et collisione armorum : erat enim exercitus magnus valde, et fortis. + +** I Maccabees 6:42 + +Et appropiavit Judas et exercitus ejus in prælium, et ceciderunt de exercitu regis sexcenti viri. + +** I Maccabees 6:43 + +Et vidit Eleazar filius Saura unam de bestiis loricatam loricis regis : et erat eminens super ceteras bestias, et visum est ei quod in ea esset rex : + +** I Maccabees 6:44 + +et dedit se ut liberaret populum suum, et acquireret sibi nomen æternum. + +** I Maccabees 6:45 + +Et cucurrit ad eam audacter in medio legionis, interficiens a dextris et a sinistris, et cadebant ab eo huc atque illuc. + +** I Maccabees 6:46 + +Et ivit sub pedes elephantis, et supposuit se ei, et occidit eum : et cecidit in terram super ipsum, et mortuus est illic. + +** I Maccabees 6:47 + +Et videntes virtutem regis, et impetum exercitus ejus, diverterunt se ab eis. + +** I Maccabees 6:48 + +Castra autem regis ascenderunt contra eos in Jerusalem, et applicuerunt castra regis ad Judæam, et montem Sion. + +** I Maccabees 6:49 + +Et fecit pacem cum his qui erant in Bethsura : et exierunt de civitate, quia non erant eis ibi alimenta conclusis, quia sabbata erant terræ. + +** I Maccabees 6:50 + +Et comprehendit rex Bethsuram : et constituit illic custodiam servare eam. + +** I Maccabees 6:51 + +Et convertit castra ad locum sanctificationis dies multos : et statuit illic ballistas, et machinas, et ignis jacula, et tormenta ad lapides jactandos, et spicula, et scorpios ad mittendas sagittas, et fundibula. + +** I Maccabees 6:52 + +Fecerunt autem et ipsi machinas adversus machinas eorum, et pugnaverunt dies multos. + +** I Maccabees 6:53 + +Escæ autem non erant in civitate, eo quod septimus annus esset : et qui remanserant in Judæa de gentibus, consumpserant reliquias eorum, quæ repositæ fuerant. + +** I Maccabees 6:54 + +Et remanserunt in sanctis viri pauci, quoniam obtinuerat eos fames : et dispersi sunt unusquisque in locum suum. + +** I Maccabees 6:55 + +Et audivit Lysias quod Philippus, quem constituerat rex Antiochus cum adhuc viveret, ut nutriret Antiochum filium suum, et regnaret, + +** I Maccabees 6:56 + +reversus esset a Perside et Media, et exercitus qui abierat cum ipso, et quia quærebat suscipere regni negotia : + +** I Maccabees 6:57 + +festinavit ire, et dicere ad regem, et duces exercitus : Deficimus quotidie, et esca nobis modica est ; et locus, quem obsidemus, est munitus, et incumbit nobis ordinare de regno. + +** I Maccabees 6:58 + +Nunc itaque demus dextras hominibus istis, et faciamus cum illis pacem, et cum omni gente eorum : + +** I Maccabees 6:59 + +et constituamus illis ut ambulent in legitimis suis sicut prius : propter legitima enim ipsorum, quæ despeximus, irati sunt, et fecerunt omnia hæc. + +** I Maccabees 6:60 + +Et placuit sermo in conspectu regis et principum : et misit ad eos pacem facere, et receperunt illam. + +** I Maccabees 6:61 + +Et juravit illis rex et principes, et exierunt de munitione. + +** I Maccabees 6:62 + +Et intravit rex montem Sion, et vidit munitionem loci : et rupit citius juramentum quod juravit, et mandavit destruere murum in gyro. + +** I Maccabees 6:63 + +Et discessit festinanter, et reversus est Antiochiam, et invenit Philippum dominantem civitati : et pugnavit adversus eum, et occupavit civitatem. + +* I Maccabees 7 + +** I Maccabees 7:1 + +Anno centesimo quinquagesimo primo, exiit Demetrius Seleuci filius ab urbe Roma, et ascendit cum paucis viris in civitatem maritimam, et regnavit illic. + +** I Maccabees 7:2 + +Et factum est, ut ingressus est domum regni patrum suorum, comprehendit exercitus Antiochum et Lysiam, ut adducerent eos ad eum. + +** I Maccabees 7:3 + +Et res ei innotuit, et ait : Nolite mihi ostendere faciem eorum. + +** I Maccabees 7:4 + +Et occidit eos exercitus. Et sedit Demetrius super sedem regni sui. + +** I Maccabees 7:5 + +Et venerunt ad eum viri iniqui et impii ex Israël : et Alcimus dux eorum, qui volebat fieri sacerdos. + +** I Maccabees 7:6 + +Et accusaverunt populum apud regem, dicentes : Perdidit Judas et fratres ejus omnes amicos tuos, et nos dispersit de terra nostra. + +** I Maccabees 7:7 + +Nunc ergo mitte virum, cui credis, ut eat, et videat exterminium omne quod fecit nobis, et regionibus regis : et puniat omnes amicos ejus, et adjutores eorum. + +** I Maccabees 7:8 + +Et elegit rex ex amicis suis Bacchidem, qui dominabatur trans flumen magnum in regno, et fidelem regi : et misit eum, + +** I Maccabees 7:9 + +ut videret exterminium quod fecit Judas : sed et Alcimum impium constituit in sacerdotium, et mandavit ei facere ultionem in filios Israël. + +** I Maccabees 7:10 + +Et surrexerunt, et venerunt cum exercitu magno in terram Juda : et miserunt nuntios, et locuti sunt ad Judam et ad fratres ejus verbis pacificis in dolo. + +** I Maccabees 7:11 + +Et non intenderunt sermonibus eorum : viderunt enim quia venerunt cum exercitu magno. + +** I Maccabees 7:12 + +Et convenerunt ad Alcimum et Bacchidem congregatio scribarum requirere quæ justa sunt : + +** I Maccabees 7:13 + +et primi, Assidæi qui erant in filiis Israël : et exquirebant ab eis pacem. + +** I Maccabees 7:14 + +Dixerunt enim : Homo sacerdos de semine Aaron venit ; non decipiet nos : + +** I Maccabees 7:15 + +et locutus est cum eis verba pacifica, et juravit illis, dicens : Non inferemus vobis malum, neque amicis vestris. + +** I Maccabees 7:16 + +Et crediderunt ei : et comprehendit ex eis sexaginta viros, et occidit eos in una die, secundum verbum quod scriptum est : + +** I Maccabees 7:17 + +Carnes sanctorum tuorum, et sanguinem ipsorum effuderunt in circuitu Jerusalem, et non erat qui sepeliret. + +** I Maccabees 7:18 + +Et incubuit timor et tremor in omnem populum : quia dixerunt : Non est veritas, et judicium in eis : transgressi sunt enim constitutum, et jusjurandum quod juraverunt. + +** I Maccabees 7:19 + +Et movit Bacchides castra ab Jerusalem, et applicuit in Bethzecha : et misit, et comprehendit multos ex eis qui a se effugerant : et quosdam de populo mactavit, et in puteum magnum projecit. + +** I Maccabees 7:20 + +Et commisit regionem Alcimo, et reliquit cum eo auxilium in adjutorium ipsi. Et abiit Bacchides ad regem : + +** I Maccabees 7:21 + +et satis agebat Alcimus pro principatu sacerdotii sui : + +** I Maccabees 7:22 + +et convenerunt ad eum omnes, qui perturbabant populum suum, et obtinuerunt terram Juda, et fecerunt plagam magnam in Israël. + +** I Maccabees 7:23 + +Et vidit Judas omnia mala quæ fecit Alcimus et qui cum eo erant filiis Israël, multo plus quam gentes : + +** I Maccabees 7:24 + +et exiit in omnes fines Judææ in circuitu, et fecit vindictam in viros desertores, et cessaverunt ultra exire in regionem. + +** I Maccabees 7:25 + +Vidit autem Alcimus quod prævaluit Judas et qui cum eo erant, et cognovit quia non potest sustinere eos : et regressus est ad regem, et accusavit eos multis criminibus. + +** I Maccabees 7:26 + +Et misit rex Nicanorem, unum ex principibus suis nobilioribus, qui erat inimicitias exercens contra Israël : et mandavit ei evertere populum. + +** I Maccabees 7:27 + +Et venit Nicanor in Jerusalem cum exercitu magno, et misit ad Judam et ad fratres ejus verbis pacificis cum dolo, + +** I Maccabees 7:28 + +dicens : Non sit pugna inter me et vos : veniam cum viris paucis, ut videam facies vestras cum pace. + +** I Maccabees 7:29 + +Et venit ad Judam, et salutaverunt se invicem pacifice : et hostes parati erant rapere Judam. + +** I Maccabees 7:30 + +Et innotuit sermo Judæ quoniam cum dolo venerat ad eum : et conterritus est ab eo, et amplius noluit videre faciem ejus. + +** I Maccabees 7:31 + +Et cognovit Nicanor quoniam denudatum est consilium ejus : et exivit obviam Judæ in pugnam juxta Capharsalama. + +** I Maccabees 7:32 + +Et ceciderunt de Nicanoris exercitu fere quinque millia viri, et fugerunt in civitatem David. + +** I Maccabees 7:33 + +Et post hæc verba ascendit Nicanor in montem Sion : et exierunt de sacerdotibus populi salutare eum in pace, et demonstrare ei holocautomata, quæ offerebantur pro rege. + +** I Maccabees 7:34 + +Et irridens sprevit eos, et polluit : et locutus est superbe, + +** I Maccabees 7:35 + +et juravit cum ira, dicens : Nisi traditus fuerit Judas et exercitus ejus in manus meas, continuo cum regressus fuero in pace, succendam domum istam. Et exiit cum ira magna. + +** I Maccabees 7:36 + +Et intraverunt sacerdotes, et steterunt ante faciem altaris et templi, et flentes dixerunt : + +** I Maccabees 7:37 + +Tu, Domine, elegisti domum istam ad invocandum nomen tuum in ea, ut esset domus orationis et obsecrationis populo tuo : + +** I Maccabees 7:38 + +fac vindictam in homine isto et exercitu ejus, et cadant in gladio : memento blasphemias eorum, et ne dederis eis ut permaneant. + +** I Maccabees 7:39 + +Et exiit Nicanor ab Jerusalem, et castra applicuit ad Bethoron : et occurrit illi exercitus Syriæ. + +** I Maccabees 7:40 + +Et Judas applicuit in Adarsa cum tribus millibus viris : et oravit Judas, et dixit : + +** I Maccabees 7:41 + +Qui missi erant a rege Sennacherib, Domine, quia blasphemaverunt te, exiit angelus, et

Maccabees 7:44 + +Ut autem vidit exercitus ejus quia cecidisset Nicanor, projecerunt arma sua, et fugerunt : + +** I Maccabees 7:45 + +et persecuti sunt eos viam unius diei ab Adazer usquequo veniatur in Gazara, et tubis cecinerunt post eos cum significationibus : + +** I Maccabees 7:46 + +et exierunt de omnibus castellis Judææ in circuitu, et ventilabant eos cornibus, et convertebantur iterum ad eos, et ceciderunt omnes gladio, et non est relictus ex eis nec unus. + +** I Maccabees 7:47 + +Et acceperunt spolia eorum in prædam : et caput Nicanoris amputaverunt, et dexteram ejus, quam

8:2 + +Et audierunt prælia eorum, et virtutes bonas, quas fecerunt in Galatia, quia obtinuerunt eos, et duxerunt sub tributum : + +** I Maccabees 8:3 + +et quanta fecerunt in regione Hispaniæ, et quod in potestatem redegerunt metalla argenti et auri, quæ illic sunt, et possederunt omnem locum consilio suo, et patientia : + +** I Maccabees 8:4 + +locaque quæ longe erant valde ab eis, et reges, qui supervenerant eis ab extremis terræ, contriverunt, et percusserunt eos plaga magna : ceteri autem dant eis tributum omnibus annis. + +** I Maccabees 8:5 + +Et Philippum et Persen Ceteorum regem, et ceteros qui adversum eos arma tulerant, contriverunt in bello, et obtinuerunt eos : + +** I Maccabees 8:6 + +et Antiochum magnum regem Asiæ, qui eis pugnam intulerat habens centum viginti elephantos, et equitatum, et currus, et exercitum magnum valde, contritum ab eis : + +** I Maccabees 8:7 + +et quia ceperunt eum vivum, et statuerunt ei ut daret ipse, et qui regnarent post ipsum, tributum magnum, et daret obsides, et constitutum, + +** I Maccabees 8:8 + +et regionem Indorum, et Medos, et Lydos, de optimis regionibus eorum : et acceptas eas ab eis, dederunt Eumeni regi, + +** I Maccabees 8:9 + +et quia qui erant apud Helladam, voluerunt ire, et tollere eos : et innotuit sermo his, + +** I Maccabees 8:10 + +et miserunt ad eos ducem unum, et pugnaverunt contra illos, et ceciderunt ex eis multi, et captivas duxerunt uxores eorum et filios, et diripuerunt eos, et terram eorum possederunt, et destruxerunt muros eorum, et in servitutem illos redegerunt usque in hunc diem : + +** I Maccabees 8:11 + +et residua regna, et insulas, quæ aliquando restiterant illis, exterminaverunt, et in potestatem redegerunt. + +** I Maccabees 8:12 + +Cum amicis autem suis, et qui in ipsis requiem habebant, conservaverunt amicitiam, et obtinuerunt regna, quæ erant proxima, et quæ erant longe : quia quicumque audiebant nomen eorum, timebant eos : + +** I Maccabees 8:13 + +quibus vero vellent auxilio esse ut regnarent, regnabant : quos autem vellent, regno deturbabant : et exaltati sunt valde. + +** I Maccabees 8:14 + +Et in omnibus istis nemo portabat diadema, nec induebatur purpura, ut magnificaretur in ea. + +** I Maccabees 8:15 + +Et quia curiam fecerunt sibi, et quotidie consulebant trecentos viginti consilium agentes semper de multitudine, ut quæ digna sunt, gerant : + +** I Maccabees 8:16 + +et committunt uni homini magistratum suum per singulos annos dominari universæ terræ suæ, et omnes obediunt uni, et non est invidia, neque zelus inter eos. + +** I Maccabees 8:17 + +Et elegit Judas Eupolemum filium Joannis filii Jacob, et Jasonem filium Eleazari, et misit eos Romam constituere cum illis amicitiam et societatem : + +** I Maccabees 8:18 + +et ut auferrent ab eis jugum Græcorum, quia viderunt quod in servitutem premerent regnum Israël. + +** I Maccabees 8:19 + +Et abierunt Romam viam multam valde, et introierunt curiam, et dixerunt : + +** I Maccabees 8:20 + +Judas Machabæus, et fratres ejus, et populus Judæorum, miserunt nos ad vos statuere vobiscum societatem et pacem, et conscribere nos socios et amicos vestros. + +** I Maccabees 8:21 + +Et placuit sermo in conspectu eorum. + +** I Maccabees 8:22 + +Et hoc rescriptum est quod rescripserunt in tabulis æreis, et miserunt in Jerusalem, ut esset apud eos ibi memoriale pacis et societatis : + +** I Maccabees 8:23 + +Bene sit Romanis, et genti Judæorum, in mari et in terra in æternum : gladiusque et hostis procul sit ab eis. + +** I Maccabees 8:24 + +Quod si institerit bellum Romanis prius, aut omnibus sociis eorum in omni dominatione eorum, + +** I Maccabees 8:25 + +auxilium feret gens Judæorum, prout tempus dictaverit, corde pleno : + +** I Maccabees 8:26 + +et præliantibus non dabunt, neque subministrabunt triticum, arma, pecuniam, naves, sicut placuit Romanis : et custodient mandata eorum, nihil ab eis accipientes. + +** I Maccabees 8:27 + +Similiter autem et si genti Judæorum prius acciderit bellum, adjuvabunt Romani ex animo, prout eis tempus permiserit : + +** I Maccabees 8:28 + +et adjuvantibus non dabitur triticum, arma, pecunia, naves, sicut placuit Romanis : et custodient mandata eorum absque dolo : + +** I Maccabees 8:29 + +secundum hæc verba constituerunt Romani populo Judæorum. + +** I Maccabees 8:30 + +Quod si post hæc verba hi aut illi addere aut demere ad hæc aliquid voluerint, facient ex proposito suo : et quæcumque addiderint, vel dempserint, rata erunt. + +** I Maccabees 8:31 + +Sed et de malis, quæ Demetrius rex fecit in eos, scripsimus ei, dicentes : Quare gravasti jugum tuum super amicos nostros, et socios Judæos ? + +** I Maccabees 8:32 + +si ergo iterum adierint nos, adversum te faciemus illis judicium, et pugnabimus tecum mari terraque. + +* I Maccabees 9 + +** I Maccabees 9:1 + +Interea, ut audivit Demetrius quia cecidit Nicanor et exercitus ejus in prælio, apposuit Bacchidem et Alcimum rursum mittere in Judæam, et dextrum cornu cum illis. + +** I Maccabees 9:2 + +Et abierunt viam quæ ducit in Galgala, et castra posuerunt in Masaloth, quæ est in Arbellis : et occupaverunt eam, et peremerunt animas hominum multas. + +** I Maccabees 9:3 + +In mense primo anni centesimi et quinquagesimi secundi, applicuerunt exercitum ad Jerusalem : + +** I Maccabees 9:4 + +et surrexerunt, et abierunt in Beream viginti millia virorum, et duo millia equitum. + +** I Maccabees 9:5 + +Et Judas posuerat castra in Laisa, et tria millia viri electi cum eo : + +** I Maccabees 9:6 + +et viderunt multitudinem exercitus, quia multi sunt, et timuerunt valde : et multi subtraxerunt se de castris, et non remanserunt ex eis nisi octingenti viri. + +** I Maccabees 9:7 + +Et vidit Judas quod defluxit exercitus suus, et bellum perurgebat eum, et confractus est corde, quia non habebat tempus congregandi eos, et dissolutus est. + +** I Maccabees 9:8 + +Et dixit his qui residui erant : Surgamus, et eamus ad adversarios nostros, si poterimus pugnare adversus eos. + +** I Maccabees 9:9 + +Et avertebant eum, dicentes : Non poterimus, sed liberemus animas nostras modo, et revertamur ad fratres nostros, et tunc pugnabimus adversus eos : nos autem pauci sumus. + +** I Maccabees 9:10 + +Et ait Judas : Absit istam rem facere ut fugiamus ab eis : et si appropiavit tempus nostrum, moriamur in virtute propter fratres nostros, et non inferamus crimen gloriæ nostræ. + +** I Maccabees 9:11 + +Et movit exercitus de castris, et steterunt illis obviam : et divisi sunt equites in duas partes, et fundibularii et sagittarii præibant exercitum, et primi certaminis omnes potentes. + +** I Maccabees 9:12 + +Bacchides autem erat in dextro cornu, et proximavit legio ex duabus partibus, et clamabant tubis : + +** I Maccabees 9:13 + +exclamaverunt autem et hi qui erant ex parte Judæ etiam ipsi, et commota est terra a voce exercituum : et commissum est prælium a mane usque ad vesperam. + +** I Maccabees 9:14 + +Et vidit Judas quod firmior est pars exercitus Bacchidis in dextris, et convenerunt cum ipso omnes constantes corde : + +** I Maccabees 9:15 + +et contrita est dextera pars ab eis, et persecutus est eos usque ad montem Azoti. + +** I Maccabees 9:16 + +Et qui in sinistro cornu erant, viderunt quod contritum est dextrum cornu, et secuti sunt post Judam, et eos qui cum ipso erant, a tergo : + +** I Maccabees 9:17 + +et ingravatum est prælium, et ceciderunt vulnerati multi ex his et ex illis. + +** I Maccabees 9:18 + +Et Judas cecidit, et ceteri fugerunt. + +** I Maccabees 9:19 + +Et Jonathas et Simon tulerunt Judam fratrem suum, et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro patrum suorum in civitate Modin. + +** I Maccabees 9:20 + +Et fleverunt eum omnis populus Israël planctu magno, et lugebant dies multos, + +** I Maccabees 9:21 + +et dixerunt : Quomodo cecidit potens, qui salvum faciebat populum Israël ! + +** I Maccabees 9:22 + +Et cetera verba bellorum Judæ, et virtutum, quas fecit, et magnitudinis ejus, non sunt descripta : multa enim erant valde. + +** I Maccabees 9:23 + +Et factum est : post obitum Judæ emerserunt iniqui in omnibus finibus Israël, et exorti sunt omnes qui operabantur iniquitatem. + +** I Maccabees 9:24 + +In diebus illis facta est fames magna valde, et tradidit se Bacchidi omnis regio eorum cum ipsis. + +** I Maccabees 9:25 + +Et elegit Bacchides viros impios, et constituit eos dominos regionis : + +** I Maccabees 9:26 + +et exquirebant, et perscrutabantur amicos Judæ, et adducebant eos ad Bacchidem, et vindicabat in illos, et illudebat. + +** I Maccabees 9:27 + +Et facta est tribulatio magna in Israël, qualis non fuit ex die qua non est visus propheta in Israël. + +** I Maccabees 9:28 + +Et congregati sunt omnes amici Judæ, et dixerunt Jonathæ : + +** I Maccabees 9:29 + +Ex quo frater tuus Judas defunctus est, vir similis ei non est, qui exeat contra inimicos nostros, Bacchidem et eos qui inimici sunt gentis nostræ. + +** I Maccabees 9:30 + +Nunc itaque, te hodie elegimus esse pro eo nobis in principem, et ducem ad bellandum bellum nostrum. + +** I Maccabees 9:31 + +Et suscepit Jonathas tempore illo principatum, et surrexit loco Judæ fratris sui. + +** I Maccabees 9:32 + +Et cognovit Bacchides, et quærebat eum occidere. + +** I Maccabees 9:33 + +Et cognovit Jonathas, et Simon frater ejus, et omnes qui cum eo erant : et fugerunt in desertum Thecuæ et consederunt ad aquam lacus Asphar. + +** I Maccabees 9:34 + +Et cognovit Bacchides, et die sabbatorum venit ipse et omnis exercitus ejus trans Jordanem. + +** I Maccabees 9:35 + +Et Jonathas misit fratrem suum ducem populi, et rogavit Nabuthæos amicos suos, ut commodarent illis apparatum suum, qui erat copiosus. + +** I Maccabees 9:36 + +Et exierunt filii Jambri ex Madaba, et comprehenderunt Joannem et omnia quæ habebat, et abierunt habentes ea. + +** I Maccabees 9:37 + +Post hæc verba, renuntiatum est Jonathæ et Simoni fratri ejus, quia filii Jambri faciunt nuptias magnas, et ducunt sponsam ex Madaba filiam unius de magnis principibus Chanaan cum ambitione magna. + +** I Maccabees 9:38 + +Et recordati sunt sanguinis Joannis fratris sui : et ascenderunt, et absconderunt se sub tegumento montis. + +** I Maccabees 9:39 + +Et elevaverunt oculos suos, et viderunt : et ecce tumultus, et apparatus multus : et sponsus processit, et amici ejus, et fratres ejus obviam illis cum tympanis, et musicis, et armis multis. + +** I Maccabees 9:40 + +Et surrexerunt ad eos ex insidiis, et occiderunt eos, et ceciderunt vulnerati multi, et residui fugerunt in montes : et acceperunt omnia spolia eorum : + +** I Maccabees 9:41 + +et conversæ sunt nuptiæ in luctum, et vox musicorum ipsorum in lamentum. + +** I Maccabees 9:42 + +Et vindicaverunt vindictam sanguinis fratris sui : et reversi sunt ad ripam Jordanis. + +** I Maccabees 9:43 + +Et audivit Bacchides, et venit die sabbatorum usque ad oram Jordanis in virtute magna. + +** I Maccabees 9:44 + +Et dixit ad suos Jonathas : Surgamus, et pugnemus contra inimicos nostros : non est enim hodie sicut heri et nudiustertius : + +** I Maccabees 9:45 + +ecce enim bellum ex adverso, aqua vero Jordanis hinc et inde, et ripæ, et paludes, et saltus : et non est locus divertendi. + +** I Maccabees 9:46 + +Nunc ergo, clamate in cælum, ut liberemini de manu inimicorum vestrorum. Et commissum est bellum. + +** I Maccabees 9:47 + +Et extendit Jonathas manum suam percutere Bacchidem, et divertit ab eo retro : + +** I Maccabees 9:48 + +et desiliit Jonathas, et qui cum eo erant, in Jordanem, et transnataverunt ad eos Jordanem. + +** I Maccabees 9:49 + +Et ceciderunt de parte Bacchidis die illa mille viri. Et reversi sunt in Jerusalem, + +** I Maccabees 9:50 + +et ædificaverunt civitates munitas in Judæa, munitionem quæ erat in Jericho, et in Ammaum, et in Bethoron, et in Bethel, et Thamnata, et Phara, et Thopo muris excelsis, et portis, et seris. + +** I Maccabees 9:51 + +Et posuit custodiam in eis, ut inimicitias exercerent in Israël : + +** I Maccabees 9:52 + +et munivit civitatem Bethsuram, et Gazaram, et arcem, et posuit in eis auxilia, et apparatum escarum : + +** I Maccabees 9:53 + +et accepit filios principum regionis obsides, et posuit eos in arce in Jerusalem in custodiam. + +** I Maccabees 9:54 + +Et anno centesimo quinquagesimo tertio, mense secundo, præcepit Alcimus destrui muros domus sanctæ interioris, et destrui opera prophetarum : et cœpit destruere. + +** I Maccabees 9:55 + +In tempore illo percussus est Alcimus : et impedita sunt opera illius, et occlusum est os ejus, et dissolutus est paralysi, nec ultra potuit loqui verbum, et mandare de domo sua. + +** I Maccabees 9:56 + +Et mortuus est Alcimus in tempore illo cum tormento magno. + +** I Maccabees 9:57 + +Et vidit Bacchides quoniam mortuus est Alcimus, et reversus est ad regem. Et siluit terra annis duobus. + +** I Maccabees 9:58 + +Et cogitaverunt omnes iniqui, dicentes : Ecce Jonathas, et qui cum eo sunt, in silentio habitant confidenter : nunc ergo adducamus Bacchidem, et comprehendet eos omnes una nocte. + +** I Maccabees 9:59 + +Et abierunt, et consilium ei dederunt. + +** I Maccabees 9:60 + +Et surrexit ut veniret cum exercitu multo : et misit occulte epistolas sociis suis qui erant in Judæa, ut comprehenderent Jonathan, et eos qui cum eo erant : sed non potuerunt, quia innotuit eis consilium eorum. + +** I Maccabees 9:61 + +Et apprehendit de viris regionis, qui principes erant malitiæ, quinquaginta viros, et occidit eos : + +** I Maccabees 9:62 + +et secessit Jonathas, et Simon, et qui cum eo erant, in Bethbessen, quæ est in deserto : et exstruxit diruta ejus, et firmaverunt eam. + +** I Maccabees 9:63 + +Et cognovit Bacchides, et congregavit universam multitudinem suam : et his, qui de Judæa erant, denuntiavit. + +** I Maccabees 9:64 + +Et venit, et castra posuit desuper Bethbessen : et oppugnavit eam dies multos, et fecit machinas. + +** I Maccabees 9:65 + +Et reliquit Jonathas Simonem fratrem suum in civitate, et exiit in regionem, et venit cum numero : + +** I Maccabees 9:66 + +et percussit Odaren et fratres ejus, et filios Phaseron in tabernaculis ipsorum : et cœpit cædere, et crescere in virtutibus. + +** I Maccabees 9:67 + +Simon vero, et qui cum ipso erant, exierunt de civitate, et succenderunt machinas, + +** I Maccabees 9:68 + +et pugnaverunt contra Bacchidem, et contritus est ab eis : et afflixerunt eum valde, quoniam consilium ejus et congressus ejus erat inanis. + +** I Maccabees 9:69 + +Et iratus contra viros iniquos, qui ei consilium dederant ut veniret in regionem ipsorum, multos ex eis occidit : ipse autem cogitavit cum reliquis abire in regionem suam. + +** I Maccabees 9:70 + +Et cognovit Jonathas : et misit ad eum legatos componere pacem cum ipso, et reddere ei captivitatem. + +** I Maccabees 9:71 + +Et libenter accepit, et fecit secundum verba ejus, et juravit se nihil facturum ei mali omnibus diebus vitæ ejus. + +** I Maccabees 9:72 + +Et reddidit ei captivitatem, quam prius erat prædatus de terra Juda : et conversus abiit in terram suam, et non apposuit amplius venire in fines ejus. + +** I Maccabees 9:73 + +Et cessavit gladius ex Israël : et habitavit Jonathas in Machmas, et cœpit Jonathas ibi judicare populum, et exterminavit impios ex Israël. + +* I Maccabees 10 + +** I Maccabees 10:1 + +Et anno centesimo sexagesimo, ascendit Alexander Antiochi filius, qui cognominatus est Nobilis, et occupavit Ptolemaidam : et receperunt eum, et regnavit illic. + +** I Maccabees 10:2 + +Et audivit Demetrius rex, et congregavit exercitum copiosum valde, et exivit obviam illi in prælium. + +** I Maccabees 10:3 + +Et misit Demetrius epistolam ad Jonathan verbis pacificis, ut magnificaret eum. + +** I Maccabees 10:4 + +Dixit enim : Anticipemus facere pacem cum eo, priusquam faciat cum Alexandro adversum nos : + +** I Maccabees 10:5 + +recordabitur enim omnium malorum, quæ fecimus in eum, et in fratrem ejus, et in gentem ejus. + +** I Maccabees 10:6 + +Et dedit ei potestatem congregandi exercitum, et fabricare arma, et esse ipsum socium ejus : et obsides, qui erant in arce, jussit tradi ei. + +** I Maccabees 10:7 + +Et venit Jonathas in Jerusalem, et legit epistolas in auditu omnis populi, et eorum qui in arce erant. + +** I Maccabees 10:8 + +Et timuerunt timore magno, quoniam audierunt quod dedit ei rex potestatem congregandi exercitum. + +** I Maccabees 10:9 + +Et traditi sunt Jonathæ obsides, et reddidit eos parentibus suis : + +** I Maccabees 10:10 + +et habitavit Jonathas in Jerusalem, et cœpit ædificare et innovare civitatem. + +** I Maccabees 10:11 + +Et dixit facientibus opera ut exstruerent muros, et montem Sion in circuitu lapidibus quadratis ad munitionem : et ita fecerunt. + +** I Maccabees 10:12 + +Et fugerunt alienigenæ, qui erant in munitionibus quas Bacchides ædificaverat : + +** I Maccabees 10:13 + +et reliquit unusquisque locum suum, et abiit in terram suam : + +** I Maccabees 10:14 + +tantum in Bethsura remanserunt aliqui ex his qui reliquerant legem et præcepta Dei : erat enim hæc eis ad refugium. + +** I Maccabees 10:15 + +Et audivit Alexander rex promissa, quæ promisit Demetrius Jonathæ : et narraverunt ei prælia, et virtutes quas ipse fecit, et fratres ejus, et labores quos laboraverunt : + +** I Maccabees 10:16 + +et ait : Numquid inveniemus aliquem virum talem ? et nunc faciemus eum amicum, et socium nostrum. + +** I Maccabees 10:17 + +Et scripsit epistolam, et misit ei secundum hæc verba, dicens : + +** I Maccabees 10:18 + +Rex Alexander fratri Jonathæ salutem. + +** I Maccabees 10:19 + +Audivimus de te quod vir potens sis viribus, et aptus es ut sis amicus noster : + +** I Maccabees 10:20 + +et nunc constituimus te hodie summum sacerdotem gentis tuæ, et ut amicus voceris regis (et misit ei purpuram, et coronam auream) et quæ nostra sunt sentias nobiscum, et conserves amicitias ad nos. + +** I Maccabees 10:21 + +Et induit se Jonathas stola sancta septimo mense, anno centesimo sexagesimo, in die solemni scenopegiæ : et congregavit exercitum, et fecit arma copiosa. + +** I Maccabees 10:22 + +Et audivit Demetrius verba ista, et contristatus est nimis, et ait : + +** I Maccabees 10:23 + +Quid hoc fecimus, quod præoccupavit nos Alexander apprehendere amicitiam Judæorum ad munimen sui ? + +** I Maccabees 10:24 + +scribam et ego illis verba deprecatoria, et dignitates, et dona, ut sint mecum in adjutorium. + +** I Maccabees 10:25 + +Et scripsit eis in hæc verba : Rex Demetrius genti Judæorum salutem. + +** I Maccabees 10:26 + +Quoniam servastis ad nos pactum, et mansistis in amicitia nostra, et non accessistis ad inimicos nostros, audivimus, et gavisi sumus. + +** I Maccabees 10:27 + +Et nunc perseverate adhuc conservare ad nos fidem, et retribuemus vobis bona pro his quæ fecistis nobiscum : + +** I Maccabees 10:28 + +et remittemus vobis præstationes multas, et dabimus vobis donationes. + +** I Maccabees 10:29 + +Et nunc absolvo vos et omnes Judæos a tributis, et pretia salis indulgeo, et coronas remitto, et tertias seminis : + +** I Maccabees 10:30 + +et dimidiam partem fructus ligni, quod est portionis meæ, relinquo vobis ex hodierno die, et deinceps, ne accipiatur a terra Juda, et a tribus civitatibus quæ additæ sunt illi ex Samaria et Galilæa ; ex hodierna die et in totum tempus : + +** I Maccabees 10:31 + +et Jerusalem sit sancta, et libera cum finibus suis : et decimæ et tributa ipsius sint. + +** I Maccabees 10:32 + +Remitto etiam potestatem arcis, quæ est in Jerusalem : et do eam summo sacerdoti, ut constituat in ea viros quoscumque ipse elegerit, qui custodiant eam. + +** I Maccabees 10:33 + +Et omnem animam Judæorum, quæ captiva est a terra Juda in omni regno meo, relinquo liberam gratis, ut omnes a tributis solvantur, etiam pecorum suorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:34 + +Et omnes dies solemnes, et sabbata, et neomeniæ, et dies decreti, et tres dies ante diem solemnem, et tres dies post diem solemnem, sint omnes immunitatis et remissionis omnibus Judæis, qui sunt in regno meo : + +** I Maccabees 10:35 + +et nemo habebit potestatem agere aliquid, et movere negotia adversus aliquem illorum in omni causa. + +** I Maccabees 10:36 + +Et ascribantur ex Judæis in exercitu regis ad triginta millia virorum : et dabuntur illis copiæ ut oportet omnibus exercitibus regis, et ex eis ordinabuntur qui sint in munitionibus regis magni : + +** I Maccabees 10:37 + +et ex his constituentur super negotia regni, quæ aguntur ex fide, et principes sint ex eis, et ambulent in legibus suis, sicut præcepit rex in terra Juda. + +** I Maccabees 10:38 + +Et tres civitates, quæ additæ sunt Judææ ex regione Samariæ, cum Judæa reputentur : ut sint sub uno, et non obediant alii potestati, nisi summi sacerdotis. + +** I Maccabees 10:39 + +Ptolemaida et confines ejus, quas dedi donum sanctis qui sunt in Jerusalem, ad necessarios sumptus sanctorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:40 + +Et ego do singulis annis quindecim millia siclorum argenti de rationibus regis, quæ me contingunt : + +** I Maccabees 10:41 + +et omne quod reliquum fuerit, quod non reddiderant qui super negotia erant annis prioribus, ex hoc dabunt in opera domus. + +** I Maccabees 10:42 + +Et super hæc quinque millia siclorum argenti, quæ accipiebant de sanctorum ratione per singulos annos : et hæc ad sacerdotes pertineant, qui ministerio funguntur. + +** I Maccabees 10:43 + +Et quicumque confugerint in templum quod est Jerosolymis, et in omnibus finibus ejus, obnoxii regi in omni negotio dimittantur, et universa quæ sunt eis in regno meo, libera habeant. + +** I Maccabees 10:44 + +Et ad ædificanda vel restauranda opera sanctorum, sumptus dabuntur de ratione regis : + +** I Maccabees 10:45 + +et ad exstruendos muros Jerusalem, et communiendos in circuitu, sumptus dabuntur de ratione regis, et ad construendos muros in Judæa. + +** I Maccabees 10:46 + +Ut audivit autem Jonathas et populus sermones istos, non crediderunt eis, nec receperunt eos : quia recordati sunt malitiæ magnæ, quam fecerat in Israël, et tribulaverat eos valde. + +** I Maccabees 10:47 + +Et complacuit eis in Alexandrum, quia ipse fuerat eis princeps sermonum pacis, et ipsi auxilium ferebant omnibus diebus. + +** I Maccabees 10:48 + +Et congregavit rex Alexander exercitum magnum, et admovit castra contra Demetrium. + +** I Maccabees 10:49 + +Et commiserunt prælium duo reges, et fugit exercitus Demetrii, et insecutus est eum Alexander, et incubuit super eos. + +** I Maccabees 10:50 + +Et invaluit prælium nimis, donec occidit sol : et cecidit Demetrius in die illa. + +** I Maccabees 10:51 + +Et misit Alexander ad Ptolemæum regem Ægypti legatos secundum hæc verba, dicens : + +** I Maccabees 10:52 + +Quoniam regressus sum in regnum meum, et sedi in sede patrum meorum, et obtinui principatum, et contrivi Demetrium, et possedi regionem nostram, + +** I Maccabees 10:53 + +et commisi pugnam cum eo, et contritus est ipse et castra ejus a nobis, et sedimus in sede regni ejus : + +** I Maccabees 10:54 + +et nunc statuamus ad invicem amicitiam : et da mihi filiam tuam uxorem, et ego ero gener tuus, et dabo tibi dona, et ipsi, digna te. + +** I Maccabees 10:55 + +Et respondit rex Ptolemæus, dicens : Felix dies, in qua reversus es ad terram patrum tuorum, et sedisti in sede regni eorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:56 + +Et nunc faciam tibi quod scripsisti : sed occurre mihi Ptolemaidam, ut videamus invicem nos, et spondeam tibi sicut dixisti. + +** I Maccabees 10:57 + +Et exivit Ptolemæus de Ægypto, ipse et Cleopatra filia ejus, et venit Ptolemaidam anno centesimo sexagesimo secundo. + +** I Maccabees 10:58 + +Et occurrit ei Alexander rex, et dedit ei Cleopatram filiam suam : et fecit nuptias ejus Ptolemaidæ, sicut reges in magna gloria. + +** I Maccabees 10:59 + +Et scripsit rex Alexander Jonathæ, ut veniret obviam sibi. + +** I Maccabees 10:60 + +Et abiit cum gloria Ptolemaidam, et occurrit ibi duobus regibus, et dedit illis argentum multum, et aurum, et dona : et invenit gratiam in conspectu eorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:61 + +Et convenerunt adversus eum viri pestilentes ex Israël, viri iniqui interpellantes adversus eum : et non intendit ad eos rex. + +** I Maccabees 10:62 + +Et jussit spoliari Jonathan vestibus suis, et indui eum purpura : et ita fecerunt. Et collocavit eum rex sedere secum. + +** I Maccabees 10:63 + +Dixitque principibus suis : Exite cum eo in medium civitatis, et prædicate, ut nemo adversus eum interpellet de ullo negotio, nec quisquam ei molestus sit de ulla ratione. + +** I Maccabees 10:64 + +Et factum est, ut viderunt qui interpellabant gloriam ejus, quæ prædicabatur, et opertum eum purpura, fugerunt omnes : + +** I Maccabees 10:65 + +et magnificavit eum rex, et scripsit eum inter primos amicos, et posuit eum ducem, et participem principatus. + +** I Maccabees 10:66 + +Et reversus est Jonathas in Jerusalem cum pace et lætitia. + +** I Maccabees 10:67 + +In anno centesimo sexagesimo quinto, venit Demetrius filius Demetrii a Creta in terram patrum suorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:68 + +Et audivit Alexander rex, et contristatus est valde, et reversus est Antiochiam. + +** I Maccabees 10:69 + +Et constituit Demetrius rex Apollonium ducem, qui præerat Cœlesyriæ : et congregavit exercitum magnum, et accessit ad Jamniam : et misit ad Jonathan summum sacerdotem, + +** I Maccabees 10:70 + +dicens : Tu solus resistis nobis : ego autem factus sum in derisum, et in opprobrium, propterea quia tu potestatem adversum nos exerces in montibus. + +** I Maccabees 10:71 + +Nunc ergo si confidis in virtutibus tuis, descende ad nos in campum, et comparemus illic invicem : quia mecum est virtus bellorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:72 + +Interroga, et disce quis sum ego, et ceteri qui auxilio sunt mihi, qui et dicunt quia non potest stare pes vester ante faciem nostram, quia bis in fugam conversi sunt patres tui in terra sua : + +** I Maccabees 10:73 + +et nunc quomodo poteris sustinere equitatum et exercitum tantum in campo, ubi non est lapis, neque saxum, neque locus fugiendi ? + +** I Maccabees 10:74 + +Ut audivit autem Jonathas sermones Apollonii, motus est animo : et elegit decem millia virorum, et exiit ab Jerusalem, et occurrit ei Simon frater ejus in adjutorium : + +** I Maccabees 10:75 + +et applicuerunt castra in Joppen, et exclusit eum a civitate, quia custodia Apollonii Joppe erat : et oppugnavit eam. + +** I Maccabees 10:76 + +Et exterriti qui erant in civitate, aperuerunt ei, et obtinuit Jonathas Joppen. + +** I Maccabees 10:77 + +Et audivit Apollonius, et admovit tria millia equitum, et exercitum multum. + +** I Maccabees 10:78 + +Et abiit Azotum tamquam iter faciens, et statim exiit in campum, eo quod haberet multitudinem equitum, et confideret in eis. Et insecutus est eum Jonathas in Azotum, et commiserunt prælium. + +** I Maccabees 10:79 + +Et reliquit Apollonius in castris mille equites post eos occulte. + +** I Maccabees 10:80 + +Et cognovit Jonathas quoniam insidiæ sunt post se, et circuierunt castra ejus, et jecerunt jacula in populum a mane usque ad vesperam. + +** I Maccabees 10:81 + +Populus autem stabat, sicut præceperat Jonathas : et laboraverunt equi eorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:82 + +Et ejecit Simon exercitum suum, et commisit contra legionem : equites enim fatigati erant : et contriti sunt ab eo, et fugerunt. + +** I Maccabees 10:83 + +Et qui dispersi sunt per campum, fugerunt in Azotum, et intraverunt in Bethdagon idolum suum, ut ibi se liberarent. + +** I Maccabees 10:84 + +Et succendit Jonathas Azotum, et civitates quæ erant in circuitu ejus, et accepit spolia eorum, et templum Dagon : et omnes qui fugerunt in illud, succendit igni. + +** I Maccabees 10:85 + +Et fuerunt qui ceciderunt gladio, cum his qui succensi sunt, fere octo millia virorum. + +** I Maccabees 10:86 + +Et movit inde Jonathas castra, et applicuit ea Ascalonem : et exierunt de civitate obviam illi in magna gloria. + +** I Maccabees 10:87 + +Et reversus est Jonathas in Jerusalem cum suis, habentibus spolia multa. + +** I Maccabees 10:88 + +Et factum est, ut audivit Alexander rex sermones istos, addidit adhuc glorificare Jonathan. + +** I Maccabees 10:89 + +Et misit ei fibulam auream, sicut consuetudo est dari cognatis regum. Et dedit ei Accaron, et omnes fines ejus, in possessionem. + +* I Maccabees 11 + +** I Maccabees 11:1 + +Et rex Ægypti congregavit exercitum, sicut arena quæ est circa oram maris, et naves multas : et quærebat obtinere regnum Alexandri dolo, et addere illud regno suo. + +** I Maccabees 11:2 + +Et exiit in Syriam verbis pacificis, et aperiebant ei civitates, et occurrebant ei : quia mandaverat Alexander rex exire ei obviam, eo quod socer suus esset. + +** I Maccabees 11:3 + +Cum autem introiret civitatem Ptolemæus, ponebat custodias militum in singulis civitatibus. + +** I Maccabees 11:4 + +Et ut appropiavit Azoto, ostenderunt ei templum Dagon succensum igni, et Azotum, et cetera ejus demolita, et corpora projecta, et eorum, qui cæsi erant in bello, tumulos quos fecerant secus viam. + +** I Maccabees 11:5 + +Et narraverunt regi quia hæc fecit Jonathas, ut invidiam facerent ei : et tacuit rex. + +** I Maccabees 11:6 + +Et occurrit Jonathas regi in Joppen cum gloria, et invicem se salutaverunt, et dormierunt illic. + +** I Maccabees 11:7 + +Et abiit Jonathas cum rege usque ad fluvium qui vocatur Eleutherus : et reversus est in Jerusalem. + +** I Maccabees 11:8 + +Rex autem Ptolemæus obtinuit dominium civitatum usque Seleuciam maritimam, et cogitabat in Alexandrum consilia mala. + +** I Maccabees 11:9 + +Et misit legatos ad Demetrium, dicens : Veni, componamus inter nos pactum, et dabo tibi filiam meam, quam habet Alexander, et regnabis in regno patris tui : + +** I Maccabees 11:10 + +pœnitet enim me quod dederim illi filiam meam : quæsivit enim me occidere. + +** I Maccabees 11:11 + +Et vituperavit eum, propterea quod concupierat regnum ejus. + +** I Maccabees 11:12 + +Et abstulit filiam suam, et dedit eam Demetrio, et alienavit se ab Alexandro, et manifestæ sunt inimicitiæ ejus. + +** I Maccabees 11:13 + +Et intravit Ptolemæus Antiochiam, et imposuit duo diademata capiti suo, Ægypti et Asiæ. + +** I Maccabees 11:14 + +Alexander autem rex erat in Cilicia illis temporibus : quia rebellabant qui erant in locis illis. + +** I Maccabees 11:15 + +Et audivit Alexander, et venit ad eum in bellum : et produxit Ptolemæus rex exercitum, et occurrit ei in manu valida, et fugavit eum. + +** I Maccabees 11:16 + +Et fugit Alexander in Arabiam, ut ibi protegeretur : rex autem Ptolemæus exaltatus est. + +** I Maccabees 11:17 + +Et abstulit Zabdiel Arabs caput Alexandri, et misit Ptolemæo. + +** I Maccabees 11:18 + +Et rex Ptolemæus mortuus est in die tertia : et qui erant in munitionibus, perierunt ab his qui erant intra castra. + +** I Maccabees 11:19 + +Et regnavit Demetrius anno centesimo sexagesimo septimo. + +** I Maccabees 11:20 + +In diebus illis congregavit Jonathas eos qui erant in Judæa, ut expugnarent arcem quæ est in Jerusalem : et fecerunt contra eam machinas multas. + +** I Maccabees 11:21 + +Et abierunt quidam qui oderant gentem suam viri iniqui ad regem Demetrium, et renuntiaverunt ei quod Jonathas obsideret arcem. + +** I Maccabees 11:22 + +Et ut audivit, iratus est : et statim venit ad Ptolemaidam, et scripsit Jonathæ ne obsideret arcem, sed occurreret sibi ad colloquium festinato. + +** I Maccabees 11:23 + +Ut audivit autem Jonathas, jussit obsidere : et elegit de senioribus Israël, et de sacerdotibus, et dedit se periculo. + +** I Maccabees 11:24 + +Et accepit aurum, et argentum, et vestem, et alia xenia multa, et abiit ad regem Ptolemaidam : et invenit gratiam in conspectu ejus, + +** I Maccabees 11:25 + +et interpellabant adversus eum quidam iniqui ex gente sua. + +** I Maccabees 11:26 + +Et fecit ei rex sicut fecerant ei qui ante eum fuerant : et exaltavit eum in conspectu omnium amicorum suorum, + +** I Maccabees 11:27 + +et statuit ei principatum sacerdotii, et quæcumque alia habuit prius pretiosa, et fecit eum principem amicorum. + +** I Maccabees 11:28 + +Et postulavit Jonathas a rege ut immunem faceret Judæam, et tres toparchias, et Samariam et confines ejus : et promisit ei talenta trecenta. + +** I Maccabees 11:29 + +Et consensit rex : et scripsit Jonathæ epistolas de his omnibus, hunc modum continentes : + +** I Maccabees 11:30 + +Rex Demetrius fratri Jonathæ salutem, et genti Judæorum. + +** I Maccabees 11:31 + +Exemplum epistolæ, quam scripsimus Lastheni parenti nostro de vobis, misimus ad vos ut sciretis : + +** I Maccabees 11:32 + +Rex Demetrius Lastheni parenti salutem. + +** I Maccabees 11:33 + +Genti Judæorum amicis nostris, et conservantibus quæ justa sunt apud nos, decrevimus benefacere propter benignitatem ipsorum, quam erga nos habent. + +** I Maccabees 11:34 + +Statuimus ergo illis omnes fines Judææ, et tres civitates, Lydan, et Ramathan, quæ additæ sunt Judææ ex Samaria, et omnes confines earum, sequestrari omnibus sacrificantibus in Jerosolymis pro his quæ ab eis prius accipiebat rex per singulos annos, et pro fructibus terræ et pomorum. + +** I Maccabees 11:35 + +Et alia quæ ad nos pertinebant decimarum et tributorum ex hoc tempore, remittimus eis : et areas salinarum, et coronas, quæ nobis deferebantur, + +** I Maccabees 11:36 + +omnia ipsis concedimus : et nihil horum irritum erit, ex hoc, et in omne tempus. + +** I Maccabees 11:37 + +Nunc ergo curate facere horum exemplum, et detur Jonathæ, et ponatur in monte sancto, in loco celebri. + +** I Maccabees 11:38 + +Et videns Demetrius rex quod siluit terra in conspectu suo, et nihil ei resistit, dimisit totum exercitum suum, unumquemque in locum suum, excepto peregrino exercitu, quem contraxit ab insulis gentium : et inimici erant ei omnes exercitus patrum ejus. + +** I Maccabees 11:39 + +Tryphon autem erat quidam partium Alexandri prius : et vidit quoniam omnis exercitus murmurabat contra Demetrium, et ivit ad Emalchuel Arabem, qui nutriebat Antiochum filium Alexandri : + +** I Maccabees 11:40 + +et assidebat ei, ut traderet eum ipsi, ut regnaret loco patris sui : et enuntiavit ei quanta fecit Demetrius, et inimicitias exercituum ejus adversus illum. Et mansit ibi diebus multis. + +** I Maccabees 11:41 + +Et misit Jonathas ad Demetrium regem, ut ejiceret eos qui in arce erant in Jerusalem, et qui in præsidiis erant : quia impugnabant Israël. + +** I Maccabees 11:42 + +Et misit Demetrius ad Jonathan, dicens : Non hæc tantum faciam tibi, et genti tuæ, sed gloria illustrabo te, et gentem tuam, cum fuerit opportunum. + +** I Maccabees 11:43 + +Nunc ergo recte feceris, si miseris in auxilium mihi viros : quia discessit omnis exercitus meus. + +** I Maccabees 11:44 + +Et misit ei Jonathas tria millia virorum fortium Antiochiam : et venerunt ad regem, et delectatus est rex in adventu eorum. + +** I Maccabees 11:45 + +Et convenerunt qui erant de civitate, centum viginti millia virorum, et volebant interficere regem. + +** I Maccabees 11:46 + +Et fugit rex in aulam : et occupaverunt qui erant de civitate, itinera civitatis, et cœperunt pugnare. + +** I Maccabees 11:47 + +Et vocavit rex Judæos in auxilium, et convenerunt omnes simul ad eum, et dispersi sunt omnes per civitatem : + +** I Maccabees 11:48 + +et occiderunt in illa die centum millia hominum, et succenderunt civitatem, et ceperunt spolia multa in die illa, et liberaverunt regem. + +** I Maccabees 11:49 + +Et viderunt qui erant de civitate, quod obtinuissent Judæi civitatem sicut volebant : et infirmati sunt mente sua, et clamaverunt ad regem cum precibus, dicentes : + +** I Maccabees 11:50 + +Da nobis dextras, et cessent Judæi oppugnare nos, et civitatem. + +** I Maccabees 11:51 + +Et projecerunt arma sua, et fecerunt pacem, et glorificati sunt Judæi in conspectu regis, et in conspectu omnium qui erant in regno ejus, et nominati sunt in regno : et regressi sunt in Jerusalem habentes spolia multa. + +** I Maccabees 11:52 + +Et sedit Demetrius rex in sede regni sui : et siluit terra in conspectu ejus. + +** I Maccabees 11:53 + +Et mentitus est omnia quæcumque dixit, et abalienavit se a Jonatha, et non retribuit ei secundum beneficia quæ sibi tribuerat, et vexabat eum valde. + +** I Maccabees 11:54 + +Post hæc autem reversus est Tryphon, et Antiochus cum eo puer adolescens, et regnavit, et imposuit sibi diadema. + +** I Maccabees 11:55 + +Et congregati sunt ad eum omnes exercitus, quos disperserat Demetrius, et pugnaverunt contra eum : et fugit, et terga vertit. + +** I Maccabees 11:56 + +Et accepit Tryphon bestias, et obtinuit Antiochiam. + +** I Maccabees 11:57 + +Et scripsit Antiochus adolescens Jonathæ, dicens : Constituo tibi sacerdotium, et constituo te super quatuor civitates, ut sis de amicis regis. + +** I Maccabees 11:58 + +Et misit illi vasa aurea in ministerium, et dedit ei potestatem bibendi in auro, et esse in purpura, et habere fibulam auream : + +** I Maccabees 11:59 + +et Simonem fratrem ejus constituit ducem a terminis Tyri usque ad fines Ægypti. + +** I Maccabees 11:60 + +Et exiit Jonathas, et perambulabat trans flumen civitates : et congregatus est ad eum omnis exercitus Syriæ in auxilium, et venit Ascalonem, et occurrerunt ei honorifice de civitate. + +** I Maccabees 11:61 + +Et abiit inde Gazam : et concluserunt se qui erant Gazæ : et obsedit eam, et succendit quæ erant in circuitu civitatis, et prædatus est ea. + +** I Maccabees 11:62 + +Et rogaverunt Gazenses Jonathan, et dedit illis dexteram : et accepit filios eorum obsides, et misit illos in Jerusalem : et perambulavit regionem usque Damascum. + +** I Maccabees 11:63 + +Et audivit Jonathas quod prævaricati sunt principes Demetrii in Cades, quæ est in Galilæa, cum exercitu multo, volentes eum removere a negotio regni : + +** I Maccabees 11:64 + +et occurrit illis : fratrem autem suum Simonem reliquit intra provinciam. + +** I Maccabees 11:65 + +Et applicuit Simon ad Bethsuram, et expugnabat eam diebus multis, et conclusit eos. + +** I Maccabees 11:66 + +Et postulaverunt ab eo dextras accipere, et dedit illis : et ejecit eos inde, et cepit civitatem, et posuit in ea præsidium. + +** I Maccabees 11:67 + +Et Jonathas et castra ejus applicuerunt ad aquam Genesar, et ante lucem vigilaverunt in campo Asor : + +** I Maccabees 11:68 + +et ecce castra alienigenarum occurrebant in campo, et tendebant ei insidias in montibus : ipse autem occurrit ex adverso. + +** I Maccabees 11:69 + +Insidiæ vero exsurrexerunt de locis suis, et commiserunt prælium. + +** I Maccabees 11:70 + +Et fugerunt qui erant ex parte Jonathæ omnes, et nemo relictus est ex eis, nisi Mathathias filius Absolomi, et Judas filius Calphi, princeps militiæ exercitus. + +** I Maccabees 11:71 + +Et scidit Jonathas vestimenta sua, et posuit terram in capite suo, et oravit. + +** I Maccabees 11:72 + +Et reversus est Jonathas ad eos in prælium, et convertit eos in fugam, et pugnaverunt. + +** I Maccabees 11:73 + +Et viderunt qui fugiebant partis illius, et reversi sunt ad eum, et insequebantur cum eo omnes usque Cades ad castra sua, et pervenerunt usque illuc : + +** I Maccabees 11:74 + +et ceciderunt de alienigenis in die illa tria millia virorum : et reversus est Jonathas in Jerusalem. + +* I Maccabees 12 + +** I Maccabees 12:1 + +Et vidit Jonathas quia tempus eum juvat, et elegit viros, et misit eos Romam statuere et renovare cum eis amicitiam : + +** I Maccabees 12:2 + +et ad Spartiatas, et ad alia loca misit epistolas secundum eamdem formam : + +** I Maccabees 12:3 + +et abierunt Romam, et intraverunt curiam, et dixerunt : Jonathas summus sacerdos, et gens Judæorum miserunt nos, ut renovaremus amicitiam et societatem secundum pristinum. + +** I Maccabees 12:4 + +Et dederunt illis epistolas ad ipsos per loca, ut deducerent eos in terram Juda cum pace. + +** I Maccabees 12:5 + +Et hoc est exemplum epistolarum, quas scripsit Jonathas Spartiatis : + +** I Maccabees 12:6 + +Jonathas summus sacerdos, et seniores gentis, et sacerdotes, et reliquus populus Judæorum, Spartiatis fratribus salutem. + +** I Maccabees 12:7 + +Jampridem missæ erant epistolæ ad Oniam summum sacerdotem ab Ario, qui regnabat apud vos, quoniam estis fratres nostri, sicut rescriptum continet, quod subjectum est. + +** I Maccabees 12:8 + +Et suscepit Onias virum, qui missus fuerat, cum honore : et accepit epistolas, in quibus significabatur de societate et amicitia. + +** I Maccabees 12:9 + +Nos cum nullo horum indigeremus, habentes solatio sanctos libros, qui sunt in manibus nostris, + +** I Maccabees 12:10 + +maluimus mittere ad vos renovare fraternitatem et amicitiam, ne forte alieni efficiamur a vobis : multa enim tempora transierunt, ex quo misistis ad nos. + +** I Maccabees 12:11 + +Nos ergo in omni tempore sine intermissione in diebus solemnibus, et ceteris, quibus oportet, memores sumus vestri in sacrificiis quæ offerimus, et in observationibus, sicut fas est, et decet meminisse fratrum. + +** I Maccabees 12:12 + +Lætamur itaque de gloria vestra. + +** I Maccabees 12:13 + +Nos autem circumdederunt multæ tribulationes, et multa prælia, et impugnaverunt nos reges qui sunt in circuitu nostro. + +** I Maccabees 12:14 + +Noluimus ergo vobis molesti esse, neque ceteris sociis et amicis nostris in his præliis : + +** I Maccabees 12:15 + +habuimus enim de cælo auxilium, et liberati sumus nos, et humiliati sunt inimici nostri. + +** I Maccabees 12:16 + +Elegimus itaque Numenium Antiochi filium, et Antipatrem Jasonis filium, et misimus ad Romanos renovare cum eis amicitiam et societatem pristinam. + +** I Maccabees 12:17 + +Mandavimus itaque eis ut veniant etiam ad vos, et salutent vos, et reddant vobis epistolas nostras de innovatione fraternitatis nostræ. + +** I Maccabees 12:18 + +Et nunc benefacietis respondentes nobis ad hæc. + +** I Maccabees 12:19 + +Et hoc est rescriptum epistolarum quod miserat Oniæ : + +** I Maccabees 12:20 + +Arius rex Spartiatarum Oniæ sacerdoti magno salutem. + +** I Maccabees 12:21 + +Inventum est in scriptura de Spartiatis, et Judæis, quoniam sunt fratres, et quod sunt de genere Abraham. + +** I Maccabees 12:22 + +Et nunc ex quo hæc cognovimus, benefacitis scribentes nobis de pace vestra. + +** I Maccabees 12:23 + +Sed et nos rescripsimus vobis : Pecora nostra, et possessiones nostræ, vestræ sunt : et vestræ, nostræ : mandavimus itaque hæc nuntiari vobis. + +** I Maccabees 12:24 + +Et audivit Jonathas quoniam regressi sunt principes Demetrii cum exercitu multo supra quam prius, pugnare adversus eum : + +** I Maccabees 12:25 + +et exiit ab Jerusalem, et occurrit eis in Amathite regione : non enim dederat eis spatium ut ingrederentur regionem ejus. + +** I Maccabees 12:26 + +Et misit speculatores in castra eorum : et reversi renuntiaverunt quod constituunt supervenire illis nocte. + +** I Maccabees 12:27 + +Cum occidisset autem sol, præcepit Jonathas suis vigilare, et esse in armis paratos ad pugnam tota nocte : et posuit custodes per circuitum castrorum. + +** I Maccabees 12:28 + +Et audierunt adversarii quod paratus est Jonathas cum suis in bello : et timuerunt, et formidaverunt in corde suo : et accenderunt focos in castris suis. + +** I Maccabees 12:29 + +Jonathas autem, et qui cum eo erant, non cognoverunt usque mane : videbant autem luminaria ardentia, + +** I Maccabees 12:30 + +et secutus est eos Jonathas, et non comprehendit eos : transierant enim flumen Eleutherum. + +** I Maccabees 12:31 + +Et divertit Jonathas ad Arabas, qui vocantur Zabadæi : et percussit eos, et accepit spolia eorum. + +** I Maccabees 12:32 + +Et junxit, et venit Damascum, et perambulabat omnem regionem illam. + +** I Maccabees 12:33 + +Simon autem exiit, et venit usque ad Ascalonem, et ad proxima præsidia : et declinavit in Joppen, et occupavit eam + +** I Maccabees 12:34 + +(audivit enim quod vellent præsidium tradere partibus Demetrii), et posuit ibi custodes ut custodirent eam. + +** I Maccabees 12:35 + +Et reversus est Jonathas, et convocavit seniores populi, et cogitavit cum eis ædificare præsidia in Judæa, + +** I Maccabees 12:36 + +et ædificare muros in Jerusalem, et exaltare altitudinem magnam inter medium arcis et civitatis, ut separaret eam a civitate, ut esset ipsa singulariter, et neque emant, neque vendant. + +** I Maccabees 12:37 + +Et convenerunt ut ædificarent civitatem : et cecidit murus qui erat super torrentem ab ortu solis, et reparavit eum, qui vocatur Caphetetha : + +** I Maccabees 12:38 + +et Simon ædificavit Adiada in Sephela, et munivit eam, et imposuit portas et seras. + +** I Maccabees 12:39 + +Et cum cogitasset Tryphon regnare Asiæ, et assumere diadema, et extendere manum in Antiochum regem : + +** I Maccabees 12:40 + +timens ne forte non permitteret eum Jonathas, sed pugnaret adversus eum, quærebat comprehendere eum, et occidere. Et exsurgens abiit in Bethsan. + +** I Maccabees 12:41 + +Et exivit Jonathas obviam illi cum quadraginta millibus virorum electorum in prælium, et venit Bethsan. + +** I Maccabees 12:42 + +Et vidit Tryphon quia venit Jonathas cum exercitu multo ut extenderet in eum manus : timuit, + +** I Maccabees 12:43 + +et excepit eum cum honore, et commendavit eum omnibus amicis suis, et dedit ei munera : et præcepit exercitibus suis ut obedirent ei, sicut sibi. + +** I Maccabees 12:44 + +Et dixit Jonathæ : Ut quid vexasti universum populum, cum bellum nobis non sit ? + +** I Maccabees 12:45 + +et nunc remitte eos in domos suas : elige autem tibi viros paucos, qui tecum sint, et veni mecum Ptolemaidam, et tradam eam tibi, et reliqua præsidia, et exercitum, et universos præpositos negotii : et conversus abibo : propterea enim veni. + +** I Maccabees 12:46 + +Et credidit ei, et fecit sicut dixit : et dimisit exercitum, et abierunt in terram Juda. + +** I Maccabees 12:47 + +Retinuit autem secum tria millia virorum : ex quibus remisit in Galilæam duo millia : mille autem venerunt cum eo. + +** I Maccabees 12:48 + +Ut autem intravit Ptolemaidam Jonathas, clauserunt portas civitatis Ptolemenses, et comprehenderunt eum : et omnes qui cum eo intraverant, gladio interfecerunt. + +** I Maccabees 12:49 + +Et misit Tryphon exercitum et equites in Galilæam et in campum magnum, ut perderent omnes socios Jonathæ. + +** I Maccabees 12:50 + +At illi cum cognovissent quia comprehensus est Jonathas, et periit, et omnes qui cum eo erant, hortati sunt semetipsos, et exierunt parati in prælium. + +** I Maccabees 12:51 + +Et videntes hi qui insecuti fuerant, quia pro anima res est illis, reversi sunt : + +** I Maccabees 12:52 + +illi autem venerunt omnes cum pace in terram Juda. Et planxerunt Jonathan, et eos qui cum ipso fuerant, valde : et luxit Israël luctu magno. + +** I Maccabees 12:53 + +Et quæsierunt omnes gentes quæ erant in circuitu eorum conterere eos : dixerunt enim : + +** I Maccabees 12:54 + +Non habent principem et adjuvantem : nunc ergo expugnemus illos, et tollamus de hominibus memoriam eorum. + +* I Maccabees 13 + +** I Maccabees 13:1 + +Et audivit Simon quod congregavit Tryphon exercitum copiosum ut veniret in terram Juda, et attereret eam. + +** I Maccabees 13:2 + +Videns quia in tremore populus est, et in timore, ascendit Jerusalem, et congregavit populum : + +** I Maccabees 13:3 + +et adhortans dixit : Vos scitis quanta ego, et fratres mei, et domus patris mei, fecimus pro legibus et pro sanctis, prælia, et angustias quales vidimus : + +** I Maccabees 13:4 + +horum gratia perierunt fratres mei omnes propter Israël, et relictus sum ego solus. + +** I Maccabees 13:5 + +Et nunc non mihi contingat parcere animæ meæ in omni tempore tribulationis : non enim melior sum fratribus meis. + +** I Maccabees 13:6 + +Vindicabo itaque gentem meam, et sancta, natos quoque nostros, et uxores : quia congregatæ sunt universæ gentes conterere nos inimicitiæ gratia. + +** I Maccabees 13:7 + +Et accensus est spiritus populi simul ut audivit sermones istos : + +** I Maccabees 13:8 + +et responderunt voce magna, dicentes : Tu es dux noster loco Judæ, et Jonathæ fratris tui : + +** I Maccabees 13:9 + +pugna prælium nostrum : et omnia, quæcumque dixeris nobis, faciemus. + +** I Maccabees 13:10 + +Et congregans omnes viros bellatores, acceleravit consummare universos muros Jerusalem, et munivit eam in gyro. + +** I Maccabees 13:11 + +Et misit Jonathan filium Absalomi, et cum eo exercitum novum in Joppen, et ejectis his qui erant in ea, remansit illic ipse. + +** I Maccabees 13:12 + +Et movit Tryphon a Ptolemaida cum exercitu multo, ut veniret in terram Juda, et Jonathas cum eo in custodia. + +** I Maccabees 13:13 + +Simon autem applicuit in Addus contra faciem campi. + +** I Maccabees 13:14 + +Et ut cognovit Tryphon quia surrexit Simon loco fratris sui Jonathæ, et quia commissurus esset cum eo prælium, misit ad eum legatos, + +** I Maccabees 13:15 + +dicens : Pro argento, quod debebat frater tuus Jonathas in ratione regis propter negotia quæ habuit, detinuimus eum. + +** I Maccabees 13:16 + +Et nunc mitte argenti talenta centum, et duos filios ejus obsides, ut non dimissus fugiat a nobis, et remittemus eum. + +** I Maccabees 13:17 + +Et cognovit Simon quia cum dolo loqueretur secum : jussit tamen dari argentum et pueros, ne inimicitiam magnam sumeret ad populum Israël, dicentem : + +** I Maccabees 13:18 + +Quia non misit ei argentum, et pueros, propterea periit. + +** I Maccabees 13:19 + +Et misit pueros, et centum talenta : et mentitus est, et non dimisit Jonathan. + +** I Maccabees 13:20 + +Et post hæc venit Tryphon intra regionem, ut contereret eam : et gyraverunt per viam quæ ducit Ador : et Simon et castra ejus ambulabant in omnem locum quocumque ibant. + +** I Maccabees 13:21 + +Qui autem in arce erant, miserunt ad Tryphonem legatos, ut festinaret venire per desertum, et mitteret illis alimonias. + +** I Maccabees 13:22 + +Et paravit Tryphon omnem equitatum, ut veniret illa nocte : erat autem nix multa valde, et non venit in Galaaditim. + +** I Maccabees 13:23 + +Et cum appropinquasset Bascaman, occidit Jonathan et filios ejus illic. + +** I Maccabees 13:24 + +Et convertit Tryphon, et abiit in terram suam. + +** I Maccabees 13:25 + +Et misit Simon, et accepit ossa Jonathæ fratris sui, et sepelivit ea in Modin civitate patrum ejus. + +** I Maccabees 13:26 + +Et planxerunt eum omnis Israël planctu magno, et luxerunt eum dies multos. + +** I Maccabees 13:27 + +Et ædificavit Simon super sepulchrum patris sui et fratrum suorum ædificium altum visu, lapide polito retro et ante. + +** I Maccabees 13:28 + +Et statuit septem pyramidas, unam contra unam, patri et matri, et quatuor fratribus : + +** I Maccabees 13:29 + +et his circumposuit columnas magnas : et super columnas arma, ad memoriam æternam : et juxta arma naves sculptas, quæ viderentur ab omnibus navigantibus mare : + +** I Maccabees 13:30 + +hoc est sepulchrum, quod fecit in Modin usque in hunc diem. + +** I Maccabees 13:31 + +Tryphon autem cum iter faceret cum Antiocho rege adolescente, dolo occidit eum : + +** I Maccabees 13:32 + +et regnavit loco ejus, et imposuit sibi diadema Asiæ, et fecit plagam magnam in terra. + +** I Maccabees 13:33 + +Et ædificavit Simon præsidia Judææ, muniens ea turribus excelsis, et muris magnis, et portis, et seris : et posuit alimenta in munitionibus. + +** I Maccabees 13:34 + +Et elegit Simon viros, et misit ad Demetrium regem ut faceret remissionem regioni : quia actus omnes Tryphonis per direptionem fuerant gesti. + +** I Maccabees 13:35 + +Et Demetrius rex ad verba ista respondit ei, et scripsit epistolam talem : + +** I Maccabees 13:36 + +Rex Demetrius Simoni summo sacerdoti et amico regum, et senioribus, et genti Judæorum, salutem. + +** I Maccabees 13:37 + +Coronam auream, et bahem, quam misistis, suscepimus : et parati sumus facere vobiscum pacem magnam, et scribere præpositis regis remittere vobis quæ indulsimus. + +** I Maccabees 13:38 + +Quæcumque enim constituimus, vobis constant : munitiones, quas ædificastis, vobis sint : + +** I Maccabees 13:39 + +remittimus quoque ignorantias et peccata usque in hodiernum diem, et coronam quam debebatis : et si quid aliud erat tributarium in Jerusalem, jam non sit tributarium. + +** I Maccabees 13:40 + +Et si qui ex vobis apti sunt conscribi inter nostros, conscribantur, et sit inter nos pax. + +** I Maccabees 13:41 + +Anno centesimo septuagesimo, ablatum est jugum gentium ab Israël. + +** I Maccabees 13:42 + +Et cœpit populus Israël scribere in tabulis, et gestis publicis, anno primo sub Simone summo sacerdote, magno duce, et principe Judæorum. + +** I Maccabees 13:43 + +In diebus illis applicuit Simon ad Gazam, et circumdedit eam castris, et fecit machinas, et applicuit ad civitatem, et percussit turrem unam, et comprehendit eam. + +** I Maccabees 13:44 + +Et eruperant qui erant intra machinam in civitatem, et factus est motus magnus in civitate. + +** I Maccabees 13:45 + +Et ascenderunt qui erant in civitate cum uxoribus et filiis supra murum, scissis tunicis suis, et clamaverunt voce magna, postulantes a Simone dextras sibi dari, + +** I Maccabees 13:46 + +et dixerunt : Non nobis reddas secundum malitias nostras, sed secundum misericordias tuas. + +** I Maccabees 13:47 + +Et flexus Simon, non debellavit eos : ejecit tamen eos de civitate, et mundavit ædes in quibus fuerant simulacra, et tunc intravit in eam cum hymnis benedicens Dominum : + +** I Maccabees 13:48 + +et ejecta ab ea omni immunditia, collocavit in ea viros qui legem facerent : et munivit eam, et fecit sibi habitationem. + +** I Maccabees 13:49 + +Qui autem erant in arce Jerusalem, prohibebantur egredi et ingredi regionem, et emere ac vendere : et esurierunt valde, et multi ex eis fame perierunt, + +** I Maccabees 13:50 + +et clamaverunt ad Simonem ut dextras acciperent : et dedit illis : et ejecit eos inde, et mundavit arcem a contaminationibus : + +** I Maccabees 13:51 + +et intraverunt in eam tertia et vigesima die secundi mensis, anno centesimo septuagesimo primo, cum laude, et ramis palmarum, et cinyris, et cymbalis, et nablis, et hymnis, et canticis, quia contritus est inimicus magnus ex Israël. + +** I Maccabees 13:52 + +Et constituit ut omnibus annis agerentur dies hi cum lætitia. + +** I Maccabees 13:53 + +Et munivit montem templi, qui erat secus arcem, et habitavit ibi ipse, et qui cum eo erant. + +** I Maccabees 13:54 + +Et vidit Simon Joannem filium suum, quod fortis prælii vir esset : et posuit eum ducem virtutum universarum : et habitavit in Gazaris. + +* I Maccabees 14 + +** I Maccabees 14:1 + +Anno centesimo septuagesimo secundo, congregavit rex Demetrius exercitum suum, et abiit in Mediam ad contrahenda sibi auxilia, ut expugnaret Tryphonem. + +** I Maccabees 14:2 + +Et audivit Arsaces rex Persidis et Mediæ, quia intravit Demetrius confines suos : et misit unum de principibus suis ut comprehenderet eum vivum, et adduceret eum ad se. + +** I Maccabees 14:3 + +Et abiit, et percussit castra Demetrii : et comprehendit eum, et duxit eum ad Arsacem, et posuit eum in custodiam. + +** I Maccabees 14:4 + +Et siluit omnis terra Juda omnibus diebus Simonis, et quæsivit bona genti suæ : et placuit illis potestas ejus et gloria ejus omnibus diebus. + +** I Maccabees 14:5 + +Et cum omni gloria sua accepit Joppen in portum, et fecit introitum in insulis maris. + +** I Maccabees 14:6 + +Et dilatavit fines gentis suæ, et obtinuit regionem. + +** I Maccabees 14:7 + +Et congregavit captivitatem multam, et dominatus est Gazaræ, et Bethsuræ, et arci : et abstulit immunditias ex ea, et non erat qui resisteret ei. + +** I Maccabees 14:8 + +Et unusquisque colebat terram suam cum pace : et terra Juda dabat fructus suos, et ligna camporum fructum suum. + +** I Maccabees 14:9 + +Seniores in plateis sedebant omnes, et de bonis terræ tractabant, et juvenes induebant se gloriam, et stolas belli. + +** I Maccabees 14:10 + +Et civitatibus tribuebat alimonias, et constituebat eas ut essent vasa munitionis quoadusque nominatum est nomen gloriæ ejus usque ad extremum terræ. + +** I Maccabees 14:11 + +Fecit pacem super terram, et lætatus est Israël lætitia magna. + +** I Maccabees 14:12 + +Et sedit unusquisque sub vite sua, et sub ficulnea sua : et non erat qui eos terreret. + +** I Maccabees 14:13 + +Defecit impugnans eos super terram : reges contriti sunt in diebus illis. + +** I Maccabees 14:14 + +Et confirmavit omnes humiles populi sui, et legem exquisivit, et abstulit omnem iniquum et malum : + +** I Maccabees 14:15 + +sancta glorificavit, et multiplicavit vasa sanctorum. + +** I Maccabees 14:16 + +Et auditum est Romæ quia defunctus esset Jonathas, et usque in Spartiatas : et contristati sunt valde. + +** I Maccabees 14:17 + +Ut audierunt autem quod Simon frater ejus factus esset summus sacerdos loco ejus, et ipse obtineret omnem regionem, et civitates in ea, + +** I Maccabees 14:18 + +scripserunt ad eum in tabulis æreis, ut renovarent amicitias et societatem quam fecerant cum Juda et cum Jonatha, fratribus ejus. + +** I Maccabees 14:19 + +Et lectæ sunt in conspectu ecclesiæ in Jerusalem. Et hoc exemplum epistolarum, quas Spartiatæ miserunt : + +** I Maccabees 14:20 + +Spartianorum principes et civitates, Simoni sacerdoti magno, et senioribus, et sacerdotibus, et reliquo populo Judæorum, fratribus, salutem. + +** I Maccabees 14:21 + +Legati, qui missi sunt ad populum nostrum, nuntiaverunt nobis de vestra gloria, et honore, ac lætitia : et gavisi sumus in introitu eorum. + +** I Maccabees 14:22 + +Et scripsimus quæ ab eis erant dicta in conciliis populi, sic : Numenius Antiochi, et Antipater Jasonis filius, legati Judæorum, venerunt ad nos, renovantes nobiscum amicitiam pristinam. + +** I Maccabees 14:23 + +Et placuit populo excipere viros gloriose, et ponere exemplum sermonum eorum in segregatis populi libris, ut sit ad memoriam populo Spartiatarum. Exemplum autem horum scripsimus Simoni magno sacerdoti. + +** I Maccabees 14:24 + +Post hæc autem misit Simon Numenium Romam, habentem clypeum aureum magnum, pondo mnarum mille, ad statuendam cum eis societatem. Cum autem audisset populus Romanus + +** I Maccabees 14:25 + +sermones istos, dixerunt : Quam gratiarum actionem reddemus Simoni, et filiis ejus ? + +** I Maccabees 14:26 + +restituit enim ipse fratres suos, et expugnavit inimicos Israël ab eis, et statuerunt ei libertatem, et descripserunt in tabulis æreis, et posuerunt in titulis in monte Sion. + +** I Maccabees 14:27 + +Et hoc est exemplum scripturæ : Octavadecima die mensis Elul, anno centesimo septuagesimo secundo, anno tertio sub Simone sacerdote magno in Asaramel, + +** I Maccabees 14:28 + +in conventu magno sacerdotum, et populi, et principum gentis, et seniorum regionis, nota facta sunt hæc : quoniam frequenter facta sunt prælia in regione nostra, + +** I Maccabees 14:29 + +Simon autem Mathathiæ filius, ex filiis Jarib, et fratres ejus, dederunt se periculo, et restiterunt adversariis gentis suæ, ut starent sancta ipsorum, et lex : et gloria magna glorificaverunt gentem suam. + +** I Maccabees 14:30 + +Et congregavit Jonathas gentem suam, et factus est illis sacerdos magnus, et appositus est ad populum suum. + +** I Maccabees 14:31 + +Et voluerunt inimici eorum calcare et atterere regionem ipsorum, et extendere manus in sancta eorum. + +** I Maccabees 14:32 + +Tunc restitit Simon, et pugnavit pro gente sua, et erogavit pecunias multas, et armavit viros virtutis gentis suæ, et dedit illis stipendia : + +** I Maccabees 14:33 + +et munivit civitates Judææ, et Bethsuram, quæ erat in finibus Judææ, ubi erant arma hostium antea : et posuit illic præsidium viros Judæos. + +** I Maccabees 14:34 + +Et Joppen munivit, quæ erat ad mare, et Gazaram, quæ est in finibus Azoti, in qua hostes antea habitabant : et collocavit illic Judæos, et quæcumque apta erant ad correptionem eorum, posuit in eis. + +** I Maccabees 14:35 + +Et vidit populus actum Simonis, et gloriam quam cogitabat facere genti suæ, et posuerunt eum ducem suum, et principem sacerdotum, eo quod ipse fecerat hæc omnia, et justitiam, et fidem, quam conservavit genti suæ, et exquisivit omni modo exaltare populum suum. + +** I Maccabees 14:36 + +Et in diebus ejus prosperatum est in manibus ejus, ut tollerentur gentes de regione ipsorum, et qui in civitate David erant, in Jerusalem in arce, de qua procedebant, et contaminabant omnia quæ in circuitu sanctorum sunt, et inferebant plagam magnam castitati : + +** I Maccabees 14:37 + +et collocavit in ea viros Judæos ad tutamentum regionis, et civitatis, et exaltavit muros Jerusalem. + +** I Maccabees 14:38 + +Et rex Demetrius statuit illi summum sacerdotium. + +** I Maccabees 14:39 + +Secundum hæc fecit eum amicum suum, et glorificavit eum gloria magna. + +** I Maccabees 14:40 + +Audivit enim quod appellati sunt Judæi a Romanis amici, et socii, et fratres, et quia susceperunt legatos Simonis gloriose, + +** I Maccabees 14:41 + +et quia Judæi et sacerdotes eorum consenserunt eum esse ducem suum, et summum sacerdotem in æternum, donec surgat propheta fidelis : + +** I Maccabees 14:42 + +et ut sit super eos dux, et ut cura esset illi pro sanctis, et ut constitueret præpositos super opera eorum, et super regionem, et super arma, et super præsidia : + +** I Maccabees 14:43 + +et cura sit illi de sanctis : et ut audiatur ab omnibus, et scribantur in nomine ejus omnes conscriptiones in regione : et ut operiatur purpura et auro : + +** I Maccabees 14:44 + +et ne liceat ulli ex populo et ex sacerdotibus irritum facere aliquid horum, et contradicere his quæ ab eo dicuntur, aut convocare conventum in regione sine ipso, et vestiri purpura, et uti fibula aurea : + +** I Maccabees 14:45 + +qui autem fecerit extra hæc, aut irritum fecerit aliquid horum, reus erit. + +** I Maccabees 14:46 + +Et complacuit omni populo statuere Simonem, et facere secundum verba ista. + +** I Maccabees 14:47 + +Et suscepit Simon, et placuit ei ut summo sacerdotio fungeretur, et esset dux et princeps gentis Judæorum, et sacerdotum, et præesset omnibus. + +** I Maccabees 14:48 + +Et scripturam istam dixerunt ponere in tabulis æreis, et ponere eas in peribolo sanctorum, in loco celebri : + +** I Maccabees 14:49 + +exemplum autem eorum ponere in ærario, ut habeat Simon, et filii ejus. + +* I Maccabees 15 + +** I Maccabees 15:1 + +Et misit rex Antiochus filius Demetrii epistolas ab insulis maris Simoni sacerdoti, et principi gentis Judæorum, et universæ genti : + +** I Maccabees 15:2 + +et erant continentes hunc modum : Rex Antiochus Simoni sacerdoti magno, et genti Judæorum salutem. + +** I Maccabees 15:3 + +Quoniam quidem pestilentes obtinuerunt regnum patrum nostrorum, volo autem vendicare regnum, et restituere illud sicut erat antea : et electam feci multitudinem exercitus, et feci naves bellicas. + +** I Maccabees 15:4 + +Volo autem procedere per regionem ut ulciscar in eos, qui corruperunt regionem nostram, et qui desolaverunt civitates multas in regno meo. + +** I Maccabees 15:5 + +Nunc ergo statuo tibi omnes oblationes, quas remiserunt tibi ante me omnes reges, et quæcumque alia dona remiserunt tibi : + +** I Maccabees 15:6 + +et permitto tibi facere percussuram proprii numismatis in regione tua : + +** I Maccabees 15:7 + +Jerusalem autem sanctam esse, et liberam : et omnia arma, quæ fabricata sunt, et præsidia, quæ construxisti, quæ tenes, maneant tibi. + +** I Maccabees 15:8 + +Et omne debitum regis, et quæ futura sunt regi, ex hoc et in totum tempus remittuntur tibi. + +** I Maccabees 15:9 + +Cum autem obtinuerimus regnum nostrum, glorificabimus te, et gentem tuam, et templum, gloria magna, ita ut manifestetur gloria vestra in universa terra. + +** I Maccabees 15:10 + +Anno centesimo septuagesimo quarto exiit Antiochus in terram patrum suorum, et convenerunt ad eum omnes exercitus, ita ut pauci relicti essent cum Tryphone. + +** I Maccabees 15:11 + +Et insecutus est eum Antiochus rex, et venit Doram fugiens per maritimam : + +** I Maccabees 15:12 + +sciebat enim quod congregata sunt mala in eum, et reliquit eum exercitus : + +** I Maccabees 15:13 + +et applicuit Antiochus super Doram cum centum viginti millibus virorum belligeratorum, et octo millibus equitum : + +** I Maccabees 15:14 + +et circuivit civitatem, et naves a mari accesserunt : et vexabant civitatem a terra et mari, et neminem sinebant ingredi vel egredi. + +** I Maccabees 15:15 + +Venit autem Numenius, et qui cum eo fuerant, ab urbe Roma, habentes epistolas regibus et regionibus scriptas, in quibus continebantur hæc : + +** I Maccabees 15:16 + +Lucius consul Romanorum, Ptolemæo regi salutem. + +** I Maccabees 15:17 + +Legati Judæorum venerunt ad nos amici nostri, renovantes pristinam amicitiam et societatem, missi a Simone principe sacerdotum et populo Judæorum. + +** I Maccabees 15:18 + +Attulerunt autem et clypeum aureum mnarum mille. + +** I Maccabees 15:19 + +Placuit itaque nobis scribere regibus et regionibus, ut non inferant illis mala, neque impugnent eos, et civitates eorum, et regiones eorum : et ut non ferant auxilium pugnantibus adversus eos. + +** I Maccabees 15:20 + +Visum autem est nobis accipere ab eis clypeum. + +** I Maccabees 15:21 + +Si qui ergo pestilentes refugerunt de regione ipsorum ad vos, tradite eos Simoni principi sacerdotum, ut vindicet in eos secundum legem suam. + +** I Maccabees 15:22 + +Hæc eadem scripta sunt Demetrio regi, et Attalo, et Ariarathi, et Arsaci, + +** I Maccabees 15:23 + +et in omnes regiones : et Lampsaco, et Spartiatis, et in Delum, et in Myndum, et in Sicyonem, et in Cariam, et in Samum, et in Pamphyliam, et in Lyciam, et in Alicarnassum, et in Coo, et in Siden, et in Aradon, et in Rhodum, et in Phaselidem, et in Gortynam, et Gnidum, et Cyprum, et Cyrenen. + +** I Maccabees 15:24 + +Exemplum autem eorum scripserunt Simoni principi sacerdotum, et populo Judæorum. + +** I Maccabees 15:25 + +Antiochus autem rex applicuit castra in Doram secundo, admovens ei semper manus, et machinas faciens : et conclusit Tryphonem, ne procederet : + +** I Maccabees 15:26 + +et misit ad eum Simon duo millia virorum electorum in auxilium, et argentum, et aurum, et vasa copiosa : + +** I Maccabees 15:27 + +et noluit ea accipere, sed rupit omnia, quæ pactus est cum eo antea, et alienavit se ab eo. + +** I Maccabees 15:28 + +Et misit ad eum Athenobium unum de amicis suis, ut tractaret cum ipso, dicens : Vos tenetis Joppen, et Gazaram, et arcem, quæ est in Jerusalem, civitates regni mei : + +** I Maccabees 15:29 + +fines earum desolastis, et fecistis plagam magnam in terra, et dominati estis per loca multa in regno meo. + +** I Maccabees 15:30 + +Nunc ergo tradite civitates quas occupastis, et tributa locorum in quibus dominati estis extra fines Judææ : + +** I Maccabees 15:31 + +sin autem, date pro illis quingenta talenta argenti, et exterminii, quod exterminastis, et tributorum civitatum alia talenta quingenta : sin autem, veniemus, et expugnabimus vos. + +** I Maccabees 15:32 + +Et venit Athenobius amicus regis in Jerusalem, et vidit gloriam Simonis, et claritatem in auro, et argento, et apparatum copiosum : et obstupuit, et retulit ei verba regis. + +** I Maccabees 15:33 + +Et respondit ei Simon, et dixit ei : Neque alienam terram sumpsimus, neque aliena detinemus : sed hæreditatem patrum nostrorum, quæ injuste ab inimicis nostris aliquo tempore possessa est. + +** I Maccabees 15:34 + +Nos vero tempus habentes, vindicamus hæreditatem patrum nostrorum. + +** I Maccabees 15:35 + +Nam de Joppe et Gazara quæ expostulas, ipsi faciebant in populo plagam magnam, et in regione nostra : horum damus talenta centum.

Cumque apparuerimus eis, + +** I Samuel 14:9 + +si taliter locuti fuerint ad nos : Manete donec veniamus ad vos : stemus in loco nostro, nec ascendamus ad eos. + +** I Samuel 14:10 + +Si autem dixerint : Ascendite ad nos : ascendamus, quia tradidit eos Dominus in manibus nostris : hoc erit nobis signum. + +** I Samuel 14:11 + +Apparuit igitur uterque stationi Philisthinorum : dixeruntque Philisthiim : En Hebræi egrediuntur de cavernis in quibus absconditi fuerant. + +** I Samuel 14:12 + +Et locuti sunt viri de statione ad Jonathan et ad armigerum ejus, dixeruntque : Ascendite ad nos, et ostendemus vobis rem. Et ait Jonathas ad armigerum suum : Ascendamus : sequere me : tradidit enim Dominus eos in manus Israël. + +** I Samuel 14:13 + +Ascendit autem Jonathas manibus et pedibus reptans, et armiger ejus post eum. Itaque alii cadebant ante Jonathan, alios armiger ejus interficiebat sequens eum. + +** I Samuel 14:14 + +Et facta est plaga prima qua percussit Jonathas et armiger ejus, quasi viginti virorum in media parte jugeri quam par boum in die arare consuevit. + +** I Samuel 14:15 + +Et factum est miraculum in castris per agros : sed et omnis populus stationis eorum qui ierant ad prædandum, obstupuit, et conturbata est terra : et accidit quasi miraculum a Deo. + +** I Samuel 14:16 + +Et respexerunt speculatores Saul qui erant in Gabaa Benjamin, et ecce multitudo prostrata, et huc illucque diffugiens. + +** I Samuel 14:17 + +Et ait Saul populo qui erat cum eo : Requirite, et videte quis abierit ex nobis. Cumque requisissent, repertum est non adesse Jonathan et armigerum ejus. + +** I Samuel 14:18 + +Et ait Saul ad Achiam : Applica arcam Dei. (Erat enim ibi arca Dei in die illa cum filiis Israël.) + +** I Samuel 14:19 + +Cumque loqueretur Saul ad sacerdotem, tumultus magnus exortus est in castris Philisthinorum : crescebatque paulatim, et clarius resonabat.

Et non manducavit universus populus panem : + +** I Samuel 14:25 + +omneque terræ vulgus venit in saltum, in quo erat mel super faciem agri. + +** I Samuel 14:26 + +Ingressus est itaque populus saltum, et apparuit fluens mel, nullusque applicuit manum ad os suum : timebat enim populus juramentum. + +** I Samuel 14:27 + +Porro Jonathas non audierat cum adjuraret pater ejus populum : extenditque summitatem virgæ quam habebat in manu, et intinxit in favum mellis : et convertit manum suam ad os suum, et illuminati sunt oculi ejus. + +** I Samuel 14:28 + +Respondensque unus de populo, ait : Jurejurando constrinxit pater tuus populum, dicens : Maledictus vir qui comederit panem hodie. (Defecerat autem populus.) + +** I Samuel 14:29 + +Dixitque Jonathas : Turbavit pater meus terram : vidistis ipsi quia illuminati sunt oculi mei, eo quod gustaverim paululum de melle isto : + +** I Samuel 14:30 + +quanto magis si comedisset populus de præda inimicorum suorum, quam reperit ? nonne major plaga facta fuisset in Philisthiim ? + +** I Samuel 14:31 + +Percusserunt ergo in die illa Philisthæos a Machmis usque in Ajalon. Defatigatus est autem populus nimis : + +** I Samuel 14:32 + +et versus ad prædam tulit oves, et boves, et vitulos, et mactaverunt in terra : comeditque populus cum sanguine. + +** I Samuel 14:33 + +Nuntiaverunt autem Sauli dicentes quod populus peccasset Domino, comedens cum sanguine.

Adduxit itaque omnis populus unusquisque bovem in manu sua usque ad noctem : et occiderunt ibi. + +** I Samuel 14:35 + +Ædificavit autem Saul altare Domino, tuncque primum cœpit ædificare altare Domino. + +** I Samuel 14:36 + +Et dixit Saul : Irruamus super Philisthæos nocte, et vastemus eos usque dum illucescat mane, nec relinquamus ex eis virum. Dixitque populus : Omne quod bonum videtur in oculis tuis, fac. Et ait sacerdos : Accedamus huc ad Deum. + +** I Samuel 14:37 + +Et consuluit Saul Dominum : Num persequar Philisthiim ? si trades eos in manus Israël ? Et non respondit ei in die illa. + +** I Samuel 14:38 + +Dixitque Saul : Applicate huc universos angulos populi : et scitote, et videte per quem acciderit peccatum hoc hodie. + +** I Samuel 14:39 + +Vivit Dominus salvator Israël, quia si per Jonathan filium meum factum est, absque retractione morietur. Ad quod nullus contradixit ei de omni populo. + +** I Samuel 14:40 + +Et ait ad universum Israël : Separamini vos in partem unam, et ego cum Jonatha filio meo ero in parte altera. Responditque populus ad Saul : Quod bonum videtur in oculis tuis, fac. + +** I Samuel 14:41 + +Et dixit Saul ad Dominum Deum Israël : Domine Deus Israël, da indicium : quid est quod non responderis servo tuo hodie ? si in me, aut in Jonatha filio meo, est iniquitas hæc, da ostensionem : aut si hæc iniquitas est in populo tuo, da sanctitatem. Et deprehensus est Jonathas et Saul : populus autem exivit. + +** I Samuel 14:42 + +Et ait Saul : Mittite sortem inter me et inter Jonathan filium meum. Et captus est Jonathas. + +** I Samuel 14:43 + +Dixit autem Saul ad Jonathan : Indica mihi quid feceris. Et indicavit ei Jonathas, et ait : Gustans gustavi in summitate virgæ quæ erat in manu mea, paululum mellis, et ecce ego morior. + +** I Samuel 14:44 + +Et ait Saul : Hæc faciat mihi Deus, et hæc addat, quia morte morieris, Jonatha. + +** I Samuel 14:45 + +Dixitque populus ad Saul : Ergone Jonathas morietur, qui fecit salutem hanc magnam in Israël ? hoc nefas est : vivit Dominus, si ceciderit capillus de capite ejus in terram, quia cum Deo operatus est hodie. Liberavit ergo populus Jonathan, ut non moreretur. + +** I Samuel 14:46 + +Recessitque Saul, nec persecutus est Philisthiim : porro Philisthiim abierunt in loca sua. + +** I Samuel 14:47 + +Et Saul, confirmato regno super Israël, pugnabat per circuitum adversum omnes inimicos ejus, contra Moab, et filios Ammon, et Edom, et reges Soba, et Philisthæos : et quocumque se verterat, superabat. + +** I Samuel 14:48 + +Congregatoque exercitu, percussit Amalec, et eruit Israël de manu vastatorum ejus. + +** I Samuel 14:49 + +Fuerunt autem filii Saul, Jonathas, et Jessui, et Melchisua : et nomina duarum filiarum ejus, nomen primogenitæ Merob, et nomen minoris Michol. + +** I Samuel 14:50 + +Et nomen uxoris Saul Achinoam filia Achimaas : et nomen principis militiæ ejus Abner filius Ner, patruelis Saul. + +** I Samuel 14:51 + +Porro Cis fuit pater Saul, et Ner pater Abner, filius Abiel. + +** I Samuel 14:52 + +Erat autem bellum potens adversum Philisthæos omnibus diebus Saul. Nam quemcumque viderat Saul virum fortem, et aptum ad prælium, sociabat eum sibi. + +* I Samuel 15 + +** I Samuel 15:1 + +Et dixit Samuel ad Saul : Me misit Dominus ut ungerem te in regem super populum ejus Israël : nunc ergo audi vocem Domini. + +** I Samuel 15:2 + +Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Recensui quæcumque fecit Amalec Israëli : quomodo restitit ei in via cum ascenderet de Ægypto. + +** I Samuel 15:3 + +Nunc ergo vade, et percute Amalec, et demolire universa ejus : non parcas ei, et non concupiscas ex rebus ipsius aliquid, sed interfice a viro usque ad mulierem, et parvulum atque lactentem, bovem et ovem, camelum et asinum. + +** I Samuel 15:4 + +Præcepit itaque Saul populo, et recensuit eos quasi agnos : ducenta millia peditum, et decem millia virorum Juda. + +** I Samuel 15:5 + +Cumque venisset Saul usque ad civitatem Amalec, tetendit insidias in torrente. + +** I Samuel 15:6 + +Dixitque Saul Cinæo : Abite, recedite, atque descendite ab Amalec, ne forte involvam te cum eo : tu enim fecisti misericordiam cum omnibus filiis Israël, cum ascenderent de Ægypto. Et recessit Cinæus de medio Amalec. + +** I Samuel 15:7 + +Percussitque Saul Amalec ab Hevila donec venias ad Sur, quæ est e regione Ægypti. + +** I Samuel 15:8 + +Et apprehendit Agag regem Amalec vivum : omne autem vulgus interfecit in ore gladii. + +** I Samuel 15:9 + +Et pepercit Saul et populus Agag, et optimis gregibus ovium et armentorum, et vestibus et arietibus, et universis quæ pulchra erant, nec voluerunt disperdere ea : quidquid vero vile fuit et reprobum, hoc demoliti sunt. + +** I Samuel 15:10 + +Factum est autem verbum Domini ad Samuel, dicens : + +** I Samuel 15:11 + +Pœnitet me quod constituerim Saul regem : quia dereliquit me, et verba mea opere non implevit. Contristatusque est Samuel, et clamavit ad Dominum tota nocte. + +** I Samuel 15:12 + +Cumque de nocte surrexisset Samuel ut iret ad Saul mane, nuntiatum est Samueli eo quod venisset Saul in Carmelum, et erexisset sibi fornicem triumphalem, et reversus transisset, descendissetque in Galgala. Venit ergo Samuel ad Saul, et Saul offerebat holocaustum Domino de initiis prædarum quæ attulerat ex Amalec. + +** I Samuel 15:13 + +Et cum venisset Samuel ad Saul, dixit ei Saul : Benedictus tu Domino : implevi verbum Domini. + +** I Samuel 15:14 + +Dixitque Samuel : Et quæ est hæc vox gregum, quæ resonat in auribus meis, et armentorum, quam ego audio ? + +** I Samuel 15:15 + +Et ait Saul : De Amalec adduxerunt ea : pepercit enim populus melioribus ovibus et armentis ut immolarentur Domino Deo tuo, reliqua vero occidimus. + +** I Samuel 15:16 + +Ait autem Samuel ad Saul : Sine me, et indicabo tibi quæ locutus sit Dominus ad me nocte. Dixitque ei : Loquere. + +** I Samuel 15:17 + +Et ait Samuel : Nonne cum parvulus esses in oculis tuis, caput in tribubus Israël factus es ? unxitque te Dominus in regem super Israël, + +** I Samuel 15:18 + +et misit te Dominus in viam, et ait : Vade, et interfice peccatores Amalec, et pugnabis contra eos usque ad internecionem eorum ? + +** I Samuel 15:19 + +Quare ergo non audisti vocem Domini : sed versus ad prædam es, et fecisti malum in oculis Domini ? + +** I Samuel 15:20 + +Et ait Saul ad Samuelem : Immo audivi vocem Domini, et ambulavi in via per quam misit me Dominus, et adduxi Agag regem Amalec, et Amalec interfeci. + +** I Samuel 15:21 + +Tulit autem de præda populus oves et boves, primitias eorum quæ cæsa sunt, ut immolet Domino Deo suo in Galgalis. + +** I Samuel 15:22 + +Et ait Samuel : Numquid vult Dominus holocausta et victimas, et non potius ut obediatur voci Domini ? melior est enim obedientia quam victimæ, et auscultare magis quam offerre adipem arietum. + +** I Samuel 15:23 + +Quoniam quasi peccatum ariolandi est, repugnare : et quasi scelus idololatriæ, nolle acquiescere. Pro eo ergo quod abjecisti sermonem Domini, abjecit te Dominus ne sis rex. + +** I Samuel 15:24 + +Dixitque Saul ad Samuelem : Peccavi, quia prævaricatus sum sermonem Domini et verba tua, timens populum, et obediens voci eorum. + +** I Samuel 15:25 + +Sed nunc porta, quæso, peccatum meum, et revertere mecum, ut adorem Dominum. + +** I Samuel 15:26 + +Et ait Samuel ad Saul : Non revertar tecum, quia projecisti sermonem Domini, et projecit te Dominus ne sis rex super Israël. + +** I Samuel 15:27 + +Et conversus est Samuel ut abiret : ille autem apprehendit summitatem pallii ejus, quæ et scissa est. + +** I Samuel 15:28 + +Et ait ad eum Samuel : Scidit Dominus regnum Israël a te hodie, et tradidit illud proximo tuo meliori te. + +** I Samuel 15:29 + +Porro triumphator in Israël non parcet, et pœnitudine non flectetur : neque enim homo est ut agat pœnitentiam. + +** I Samuel 15:30 + +At ille ait : Peccavi : sed nunc honora me coram senioribus populi mei et coram Israël, et revertere mecum, ut adorem Dominum Deum tuum. + +** I Samuel 15:31 + +Reversus ergo Samuel secutus est Saulem : et adoravit Saul Dominum. + +** I Samuel 15:32 + +Dixitque Samuel : Adducite ad me Agag regem Amalec. Et oblatus est ei Agag, pinguissimus et tremens. Et dixit Agag : Siccine separat amara mors ? + +** I Samuel 15:33 + +Et ait Samuel : Sicut fecit absque liberis mulieres gladius tuus, sic absque liberis erit inter mulieres mater tua. Et in frustra concidit eum Samuel coram Domino in Galgalis. + +** I Samuel 15:34 + +Abiit autem Samuel in Ramatha : Saul vero ascendit in domum suam in Gabaa. + +** I Samuel 15:35 + +Et non vidit Samuel ultra Saul usque ad diem mortis suæ : verumtamen lugebat Samuel Saulem, quoniam Dominum pœnitebat quod constituisset eum regem super Israël. + +* I Samuel 16 + +** I Samuel 16:1 + +Dixitque Dominus ad Samuelem : Usquequo tu luges Saul, cum ego projecerim eum ne regnet super Israël ? Imple cornu tuum oleo, et veni, ut mittam te ad Isai Bethlehemitem : providi enim in filiis ejus mihi regem. + +** I Samuel 16:2 + +Et ait Samuel : Quomodo vadam ? audiet enim Saul, et interficiet me. Et ait Dominus : Vitulum de armento tolles in manu tua, et dices : Ad immolandum Domino veni. + +** I Samuel 16:3 + +Et vocabis Isai ad victimam, et ego ostendam tibi quid facias, et unges quemcumque monstravero tibi. + +** I Samuel 16:4 + +Fecit ergo Samuel sicut locutus est ei Dominus. Venitque in Bethlehem, et admirati sunt seniores civitatis occurrentes ei : dixeruntque : Pacificusne est ingressus tuus ? + +** I Samuel 16:5 + +Et ait : Pacificus : ad immolandum Domino veni : sanctificamini, et venite mecum ut immolem. Sanctificavit ergo Isai et filios ejus, et vocavit eos ad sacrificium. + +** I Samuel 16:6 + +Cumque ingressi essent, vidit Eliab, et ait : Num coram Domino est christus ejus ? + +** I Samuel 16:7 + +Et dixit Dominus ad Samuelem : Ne respicias vultum ejus, neque altitudinem staturæ ejus : quoniam abjeci eum, nec juxta intuitum hominis ego judico : homo enim videt ea quæ parent, Dominus autem intuetur cor. + +** I Samuel 16:8 + +Et vocavit Isai Abinadab, et adduxit eum coram Samuele. Qui dixit : Nec hunc elegit Dominus. + +** I Samuel 16:9 + +Adduxit autem Isai Samma, de quo ait : Etiam hunc non elegit Dominus. + +** I Samuel 16:10 + +Adduxit itaque Isai septem filios suos coram Samuele : et ait Samuel ad Isai : Non elegit Dominus ex istis. + +** I Samuel 16:11 + +Dixitque Samuel ad Isai : Numquid jam completi sunt filii ? Qui respondit : Adhuc reliquus est parvulus, et pascit oves. Et ait Samuel ad Isai : Mitte, et adduc eum : nec enim discumbemus priusquam huc ille veniat. + +** I Samuel 16:12 + +Misit ergo, et adduxit eum. Erat autem rufus, et pulcher aspectu, decoraque facie : et ait Dominus : Surge, unge eum : ipse est enim. + +** I Samuel 16:13 + +Tulit ergo Samuel cornu olei, et unxit eum in medio fratrum ejus : et directus est spiritus Domini a die illa in David, et deinceps. Surgensque Samuel abiit in Ramatha. + +** I Samuel 16:14 + +Spiritus autem Domini recessit a Saul, et exagitabat eum spiritus nequam a Domino. + +** I Samuel 16:15 + +Dixeruntque servi Saul ad eum : Ecce spiritus Dei malus exagitat te. + +** I Samuel 16:16 + +Jubeat dominus noster, et servi tui qui coram te sunt quærent hominem scientem psallere cithara, ut quando arripuerit te spiritus Domini malus, psallat manu sua, et levius feras. + +** I Samuel 16:17 + +Et ait Saul ad servos suos : Providete ergo mihi aliquem bene psallentem, et adducite eum ad me. + +** I Samuel 16:18 + +Et respondens unus de pueris, ait : Ecce vidi filium Isai Bethlehemitem scientem psallere, et fortissimum robore, et virum bellicosum, et prudentem in verbis, et virum pulchrum : et Dominus est cum eo. + +** I Samuel 16:19 + +Misit ergo Saul nuntios ad Isai, dicens : Mitte ad me David filium tuum, qui est in pascuis. + +** I Samuel 16:20 + +Tulit itaque Isai asinum plenum panibus, et lagenam vini, et hædum de capris unum, et misit per manum David filii sui Sauli. + +** I Samuel 16:21 + +Et venit David ad Saul, et stetit coram eo : at ille dilexit eum nimis, et factus est ejus armiger. + +** I Samuel 16:22 + +Misitque Saul ad Isai, dicens : Stet David in conspectu meo : invenit enim gratiam in oculis meis. + +** I Samuel 16:23 + +Igitur quandocumque spiritus Domini malus arripiebat Saul, David tollebat citharam, et percutiebat manu sua, et refocillabatur Saul, et levius habebat : recedebat enim ab eo spiritus malus. + +* I Samuel 17 + +** I Samuel 17:1 + +Congregantes autem Philisthiim agmina sua in prælium, convenerunt in Socho Judæ : et castrametati sunt inter Socho et Azeca in finibus Dommim. + +** I Samuel 17:2 + +Porro Saul et filii Israël congregati venerunt in Vallem terebinthi, et direxerunt aciem ad pugnandum contra Philisthiim. + +** I Samuel 17:3 + +Et Philisthiim stabant super montem ex parte hac, et Israël stabat supra montem ex altera parte : vallisque erat inter eos. + +** I Samuel 17:4 + +Et egressus est vir spurius de castris Philisthinorum nomine Goliath, de Geth, altitudinis sex cubitorum et palmi : + +** I Samuel 17:5 + +et cassis ærea super caput ejus, et lorica squamata induebatur.

Tribus ergo majoribus secutis Saulem, + +** I Samuel 17:15 + +abiit David, et reversus est a Saul ut pasceret gregem patris sui in Bethlehem. + +** I Samuel 17:16 + +Procedebat vero Philisthæus mane et vespere, et stabat quadraginta diebus. + +** I Samuel 17:17 + +Dixit autem Isai ad David filium suum : Accipe fratribus tuis ephi polentæ, et decem panes istos, et curre in castra ad fratres tuos, + +** I Samuel 17:18 + +et decem formellas casei has deferes ad tribunum : et fratres tuos visitabis, si recte agant : et cum quibus ordinati sunt, disce. + +** I Samuel 17:19 + +Saul autem, et illi, et omnes filii Israël, in Valle terebinthi pugnabant adversum Philisthiim. + +** I Samuel 17:20 + +Surrexit itaque David mane, et commendavit gregem custodi : et onustus abiit, sicut præceperat ei Isai.

Et deposuit ea, + +** I Samuel 17:40 + +et tulit baculum suum, quem semper habebat in manibus : et elegit sibi quinque limpidissimos lapides de torrente, et misit eos in peram pastoralem quam habebat secum, et fundam manu tulit : et processit adversum Philisthæum. + +** I Samuel 17:41 + +Ibat autem Philisthæus incedens, et appropinquans adversum David, et armiger ejus ante eum. + +** I Samuel 17:42 + +Cumque inspexisset Philisthæus, et vidisset David, despexit eum.

Et maledixit Philisthæus David in diis suis : + +** I Samuel 17:44 + +dixitque ad David : Veni ad me, et dabo carnes tuas volatilibus cæli et bestiis terræ. + +** I Samuel 17:45 + +Dixit autem David ad Philisthæum : Tu venis ad me cum gladio, et hasta, et clypeo : ego autem venio ad te in nomine Domini exercituum, Dei agminum Israël quibus exprobrasti + +** I Samuel 17:46 + +hodie, et dabit te Dominus in manu mea, et percutiam te, et auferam caput tuum a te : et dabo cadavera castrorum Philisthiim hodie volatilibus cæli, et bestiis terræ, ut sciat omnis terra quia est Deus in Israël, + +** I Samuel 17:47 + +et noverit universa ecclesia hæc, quia non in gladio nec in hasta salvat Dominus : ipsius enim est bellum, et tradet vos in manus nostras. + +** I Samuel 17:48 + +Cum ergo surrexisset Philisthæus, et veniret, et appropinquaret contra David, festinavit David et cucurrit ad pugnam ex adverso Philisthæi. + +** I Samuel 17:49 + +Et misit manum suam in peram, tulitque unum lapidem, et funda jecit, et circumducens percussit Philisthæum in fronte : et infixus est lapis in fronte ejus, et cecidit in faciem suam super terram. + +** I Samuel 17:50 + +Prævaluitque David adversum Philisthæum in funda et lapide, percussumque Philisthæum interfecit. Cumque gladium non haberet in manu David, + +** I Samuel 17:51 + +cucurrit, et stetit super Philisthæum, et tulit gladium ejus, et eduxit eum de vagina sua : et interfecit eum, præciditque caput ejus.

Et nuntiatum est Saul, et placuit ei. + +** I Samuel 18:21 + +Dixitque Saul : Dabo eam illi, ut fiat ei in scandalum, et sit super eum manus Philisthinorum. Dixitque Saul ad David : In duabus rebus gener meus eris hodie. + +** I Samuel 18:22 + +Et mandavit Saul servis suis : Loquimini ad David clam me, dicentes : Ecce places regi, et omnes servi ejus diligunt te : nunc ergo esto gener regis. + +** I Samuel 18:23 + +Et locuti sunt servi Saul in auribus David omnia verba hæc. Et ait David : Num parum videtur vobis, generum esse regis ? ego autem sum vir pauper et tenuis. + +** I Samuel 18:24 + +Et renuntiaverunt servi Saul dicentes : Hujuscemodi verba locutus est David. + +** I Samuel 18:25 + +Dixit autem Saul : Sic loquimini ad David : Non habet rex sponsalia necesse, nisi tantum centum præputia Philisthinorum, ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis. Porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manus Philisthinorum. + +** I Samuel 18:26 + +Cumque renuntiassent servi ejus David verba quæ dixerat Saul, placuit sermo in oculis David, ut fieret gener regis. + +** I Samuel 18:27 + +Et post paucos dies surgens David, abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant.

Porro ille abiit et aufugit, atque salvatus est. + +** I Samuel 19:13 + +Tulit autem Michol statuam, et posuit eam super lectum, et pellem pilosam caprarum posuit ad caput ejus, et operuit eam vestimentis. + +** I Samuel 19:14 + +Misit autem Saul apparitores, qui raperent David : et responsum est quod ægrotaret. + +** I Samuel 19:15 + +Rursumque misit Saul nuntios ut viderent David, dicens : Afferte eum ad me in lecto, ut occidatur. + +** I Samuel 19:16 + +Cumque venissent nuntii, inventum est simulacrum super lectum, et pellis caprarum ad caput ejus. + +** I Samuel 19:17 + +Dixitque Saul ad Michol : Quare sic illusisti mihi, et dimisisti inimicum meum ut fugeret ? Et respondit Michol ad Saul : Quia ipse locutus est mihi : Dimitte me, alioquin interficiam te. + +** I Samuel 19:18 + +David autem fugiens salvatus est, et venit ad Samuel in Ramatha, et nuntiavit ei omnia quæ fecerat sibi Saul : et abierunt ipse et Samuel, et morati sunt in Najoth. + +** I Samuel 19:19 + +Nuntiatum est autem Sauli a dicentibus : Ecce David in Najoth in Ramatha. + +** I Samuel 19:20 + +Misit ergo Saul lictores, ut raperent David : qui cum vidissent cuneum prophetarum vaticinantium, et Samuelem stantem super eos, factus est etiam spiritus Domini in illis, et prophetare cœperunt etiam ipsi. + +** I Samuel 19:21 + +Quod cum nuntiatum esset Sauli, misit et alios nuntios : prophetaverunt autem et illi.

Si autem fuerit iratus, scito quia completa est malitia ejus. + +** I Samuel 20:8 + +Fac ergo misericordiam in servum tuum, quia fœdus Domini me famulum tuum tecum inire fecisti : si autem est iniquitas aliqua in me, tu me interfice, et ad patrem tuum ne introducas me. + +** I Samuel 20:9 + +Et ait Jonathas : Absit hoc a te : neque enim fieri potest, ut si certe cognovero completam esse patris mei malitiam contra te, non annuntiem tibi. + +** I Samuel 20:10 + +Responditque David ad Jonathan : Quis renuntiabit mihi, si quid forte responderit tibi pater tuus dure de me ? + +** I Samuel 20:11 + +Et ait Jonathas ad David : Veni, et egrediamur foras in agrum. Cumque exissent ambo in agrum, + +** I Samuel 20:12 + +ait Jonathas ad David : Domine Deus Israël, si investigavero sententiam patris mei crastino vel perendie, et aliquid boni fuerit super David, et non statim misero ad te, et notum tibi fecero, + +** I Samuel 20:13 + +hæc faciat Dominus Jonathæ, et hæc addat.

Dixitque Eliseus : Obsecro ut fiat in me duplex spiritus tuus. + +** II Kings 2:10 + +Qui respondit : Rem difficilem postulasti : attamen si videris me quando tollar a te, erit tibi quod petisti : si autem non videris, non erit. + +** II Kings 2:11 + +Cumque pergerent, et incedentes sermocinarentur, ecce currus igneus, et equi ignei diviserunt utrumque : et ascendit Elias per turbinem in cælum. + +** II Kings 2:12 + +Eliseus autem videbat, et clamabat : Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israël, et auriga ejus. Et non vidit eum amplius : apprehenditque vestimenta sua, et scidit illa in duas partes. + +** II Kings 2:13 + +Et levavit pallium Eliæ, quod ceciderat ei : reversusque stetit super ripam Jordanis, + +** II Kings 2:14 + +et pallio Eliæ, quod ceciderat ei, percussit aquas, et non sunt divisæ : et dixit : Ubi est Deus Eliæ etiam nunc ? Percussitque aquas, et divisæ sunt huc atque illuc, et transiit Eliseus. + +** II Kings 2:15 + +Videntes autem filii prophetarum qui erant in Jericho e contra, dixerunt : Requievit spiritus Eliæ super Eliseum. Et venientes in occursum ejus, adoraverunt eum proni in terram, + +** II Kings 2:16 + +dixeruntque illi : Ecce cum servis tuis sunt quinquaginta viri fortes qui possunt ire, et quærere dominum tuum, ne forte tulerit eum spiritus Domini, et projecerit eum in unum montium, aut in unam vallium. Qui ait : Nolite mittere. + +** II Kings 2:17 + +Coëgeruntque eum donec acquiesceret, et diceret : Mittite. Et miserunt quinquaginta viros : qui cum quæsissent tribus diebus, non invenerunt. + +** II Kings 2:18 + +Et reversi sunt ad eum : at ille habitabat in Jericho, et dixit eis : Numquid non dixi vobis : Nolite mittere ? + +** II Kings 2:19 + +Dixerunt quoque viri civitatis ad Eliseum : Ecce habitatio civitatis hujus optima est, sicut tu ipse, domine, perspicis : sed aquæ pessimæ sunt, et terra sterilis. + +** II Kings 2:20 + +At ille ait : Afferte mihi vas novum, et mittite in illud sal. Quod cum attulissent, + +** II Kings 2:21 + +egressus ad fontem aquarum misit in illum sal, et ait : Hæc dicit Dominus : Sanavi aquas has, et non erit ultra in eis mors, neque sterilitas. + +** II Kings 2:22 + +Sanatæ sunt ergo aquæ usque in diem hanc, juxta verbum Elisei quod locutus est. + +** II Kings 2:23 + +Ascendit autem inde in Bethel : cumque ascenderet per viam, pueri parvi egressi sunt de civitate, et illudebant ei, dicentes : Ascende calve, ascende calve. + +** II Kings 2:24 + +Qui cum respexisset, vidit eos, et maledixit eis in nomine Domini : egressique sunt duo ursi de saltu, et laceraverunt ex eis quadraginta duos pueros. + +** II Kings 2:25 + +Abiit autem inde in montem Carmeli, et inde reversus est in Samariam. + +* II Kings 3 + +** II Kings 3:1 + +Joram vero filius Achab regnavit super Israël in Samaria anno decimooctavo Josaphat regis Judæ : regnavitque duodecim annis. + +** II Kings 3:2 + +Et fecit malum coram Domino, sed non sicut pater suus et mater : tulit enim statuas Baal quas fecerat pater ejus. + +** II Kings 3:3 + +Verumtamen in peccatis Jeroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israël, adhæsit, nec recessit ab eis. + +** II Kings 3:4 + +Porro Mesa rex Moab nutriebat pecora multa, et solvebat regi Israël centum millia agnorum, et centum millia arietum cum velleribus suis. + +** II Kings 3:5 + +Cumque mortuus fuisset Achab, prævaricatus est fœdus quod habebat cum rege Israël. + +** II Kings 3:6 + +Egressus est igitur rex Joram in die illa de Samaria, et recensuit universum Israël. + +** II Kings 3:7 + +Misitque ad Josaphat regem Juda, dicens : Rex Moab recessit a me : veni mecum contra eum ad prælium. Qui respondit : Ascendam : qui meus est, tuus est : populus meus, populus tuus, et equi mei, equi tui. + +** II Kings 3:8 + +Dixitque : Per quam viam ascendemus ? At ille respondit : Per desertum Idumææ. + +** II Kings 3:9 + +Perrexerunt igitur rex Israël, et rex Juda, et rex Edom, et circuierunt per viam septem dierum, nec erat aqua exercitui et jumentis quæ sequebantur eos. + +** II Kings 3:10 + +Dixitque rex Israël : Heu ! heu ! heu ! congregavit nos Dominus tres reges ut traderet in manus Moab. + +** II Kings 3:11 + +Et ait Josaphat : Estne hic propheta Domini, ut deprecemur Dominum per eum ? Et respondit unus de servis regis Israël : Est hic Eliseus filius Saphat, qui fundebat aquam super manus Eliæ. + +** II Kings 3:12 + +Et ait Josaphat : Est apud eum sermo Domini. Descenditque ad eum rex Israël, et Josaphat rex Juda, et rex Edom. + +** II Kings 3:13 + +Dixit autem Eliseus ad regem Israël : Quid mihi et tibi est ? vade ad prophetas patris tui et matris tuæ. Et ait illi rex Israël : Quare congregavit Dominus tres reges hos ut traderet eos in manus Moab ? + +** II Kings 3:14 + +Dixitque ad eum Eliseus : Vivit Dominus exercituum, in cujus conspectu sto, quod si non vultum Josaphat regis Judæ erubescerem, non attendissem quidem te, nec respexissem. + +** II Kings 3:15 + +Nunc autem adducite mihi psaltem. Cumque caneret psaltes, facta est super eum manus Domini, et ait : + +** II Kings 3:16 + +Hæc dicit Dominus : Facite alveum torrentis hujus fossas et fossas. + +** II Kings 3:17 + +Hæc enim dicit Dominus : Non videbitis ventum, neque pluviam : et alveus iste replebitur aquis, et bibetis vos, et familiæ vestræ, et jumenta vestra. + +** II Kings 3:18 + +Parumque est hoc in conspectu Domini : insuper tradet etiam Moab in manus vestras. + +** II Kings 3:19 + +Et percutietis omnem civitatem munitam, et omnem urbem electam, et universum lignum fructiferum succidetis, cunctosque fontes aquarum obturabitis, et omnem agrum egregium operietis lapidibus. + +** II Kings 3:20 + +Factum est igitur mane, quando sacrificium offerri solet, et ecce aquæ veniebant per viam Edom, et repleta est terra aquis. + +** II Kings 3:21 + +Universi autem Moabitæ audientes quod ascendissent reges ut pugnarent adversum eos, convocaverunt omnes qui accincti erant balteo desuper, et steterunt in terminis. + +** II Kings 3:22 + +Primoque mane surgentes, et orto jam sole ex adverso aquarum, viderunt Moabitæ e contra aquas rubras quasi sanguinem, + +** II Kings 3:23 + +dixeruntque : Sanguis gladii est : pugnaverunt reges contra se, et cæsi sunt mutuo : nunc perge ad prædam, Moab. + +** II Kings 3:24 + +Perrexeruntque in castra Israël : porro consurgens Israël, percussit Moab : at illi fugerunt coram eis. Venerunt igitur qui vicerant, et percusserunt Moab, + +** II Kings 3:25 + +et civitates destruxerunt : et omnem agrum optimum, mittentes singuli lapides, repleverunt : et universos fontes aquarum obturaverunt : et omnia ligna fructifera succiderunt, ita ut muri tantum fictiles remanerent : et circumdata est civitas a fundibulariis, et magna ex parte percussa. + +** II Kings 3:26 + +Quod cum vidisset rex Moab, prævaluisse scilicet hostes, tulit secum septingentos viros educentes gladium, ut irrumperent ad regem Edom : et non potuerunt. + +** II Kings 3:27 + +Arripiensque filium suum primogenitum, qui regnaturus erat pro eo, obtulit holocaustum super murum : et facta est indignatio magna in Israël, statimque recesserunt ab eo, et reversi sunt in terram suam. + +* II Kings 4 + +** II Kings 4:1 + +Mulier autem quædam de uxoribus prophetarum clamabat ad Eliseum, dicens : Servus tuus vir meus mortuus est, et tu nosti quia servus tuus fuit timens Dominum : et ecce creditor venit ut tollat duos filios meos ad serviendum sibi. + +** II Kings 4:2 + +Cui dixit Eliseus : Quid vis ut faciam tibi ? dic mihi, quid habes in domo tua ? At illa respondit : Non habeo ancilla tua quidquam in domo mea, nisi parum olei quo ungar. + +** II Kings 4:3 + +Cui ait : Vade, pete mutuo ab omnibus vicinis tuis vasa vacua non pauca, + +** II Kings 4:4 + +et ingredere, et claude ostium tuum cum intrinsecus fueris tu, et filii tui : et mitte inde in omnia vasa hæc, et cum plena fuerint, tolles. + +** II Kings 4:5 + +Ivit itaque mulier, et clausit ostium super se, et super filios suos : illi offerebant vasa, et illa infundebat. + +** II Kings 4:6 + +Cumque plena fuissent vasa, dixit ad filium suum : Affer mihi adhuc vas. Et ille respondit : Non habeo. Stetitque oleum. + +** II Kings 4:7 + +Venit autem illa, et indicavit homini Dei. Et ille : Vade, inquit, vende oleum, et redde creditori tuo : tu autem, et filii tui vivite de reliquo. + +** II Kings 4:8 + +Facta est autem quædam dies, et transibat Eliseus per Sunam : erat autem ibi mulier magna, quæ tenuit eum ut comederet panem : cumque frequenter inde transiret, divertebat ad eam ut comederet panem. + +** II Kings 4:9 + +Quæ dixit ad virum suum : Animadverto quod vir Dei sanctus est iste, qui transit per nos frequenter. + +** II Kings 4:10 + +Faciamus ergo ei cœnaculum parvum, et ponamus ei in eo lectulum, et mensam, et sellam, et candelabrum, ut cum venerit ad nos, maneat ibi. + +** II Kings 4:11 + +Facta est ergo dies quædam, et veniens divertit in cœnaculum, et requievit ibi. + +** II Kings 4:12 + +Dixitque ad Giezi puerum suum : Voca Sunamitidem istam. Qui cum vocasset eam, et illa stetisset coram eo, + +** II Kings 4:13 + +dixit ad puerum suum : Loquere ad eam : Ecce, sedule in omnibus ministrasti nobis : quid vis ut faciam tibi ? numquid habes negotium, et vis ut loquar regi, sive principi militiæ ? Quæ respondit : In medio populi mei habito. + +** II Kings 4:14 + +Et ait : Quid ergo vult ut faciam ei ? Dixitque Giezi : Ne quæras : filium enim non habet, et vir ejus senex est. + +** II Kings 4:15 + +Præcepit itaque ut vocaret eam : quæ cum vocata fuisset, et stetisset ante ostium, + +** II Kings 4:16 + +dixit ad eam : In tempore isto, et in hac eadem hora, si vita comes fuerit, habebis in utero filium. At illa respondit : Noli quæso, domine mi vir Dei, noli mentiri ancillæ tuæ. + +** II Kings 4:17 + +Et concepit mulier, et peperit filium in tempore, et in hora eadem, qua dixerat Eliseus. + +** II Kings 4:18 + +Crevit autem puer : et cum esset quædam dies, et egressus isset ad patrem suum, ad messores, + +** II Kings 4:19 + +ait patri suo : Caput meum doleo, caput meum doleo. At ille dixit puero : Tolle, et duc eum ad matrem suam. + +** II Kings 4:20 + +Qui cum tulisset, et duxisset eum ad matrem suam, posuit eum illa super genua sua usque ad meridiem, et mortuus est. + +** II Kings 4:21 + +Ascendit autem, et collocavit eum super lectulum hominis Dei, et clausit ostium : et egressa, + +** II Kings 4:22 + +vocavit virum suum, et ait : Mitte mecum, obsecro, unum de pueris, et asinam, ut excurram usque ad hominem Dei, et revertar. + +** II Kings 4:23 + +Qui ait illi : Quam ob causam vadis ad eum ? hodie non sunt calendæ, neque sabbatum. Quæ respondit : Vadam. + +** II Kings 4:24 + +Stravitque asinam, et præcepit puero : Mina, et propera : ne mihi moram facias in eundo : et hoc age quod præcipio tibi. + +** II Kings 4:25 + +Profecta est igitur, et venit ad virum Dei in montem Carmeli : cumque vidisset eam vir Dei e contra, ait ad Giezi puerum suum : Ecce Sunamitis illa. + +** II Kings 4:26 + +Vade ergo in occursum ejus, et dic ei : Recte ne agitur circa te, et circa virum tuum, et circa filium tuum ? Quæ respondit : Recte. + +** II Kings 4:27 + +Cumque venisset ad virum Dei in montem, apprehendit pedes ejus : et accessit Giezi ut amoveret eam. Et ait homo Dei : Dimitte illam : anima enim ejus in amaritudine est, et Dominus celavit a me, et non indicavit mihi. + +** II Kings 4:28 + +Quæ dixit illi : Numquid petivi filium a domino meo ? numquid non dixi tibi : Ne illudas me ? + +** II Kings 4:29 + +Et ille ait ad Giezi : Accinge lumbos tuos, et tolle baculum meum in manu tua, et vade. Si occurrerit tibi homo, non salutes eum : et si salutaverit te quispiam, non respondeas illi : et pones baculum meum super faciem pueri. + +** II Kings 4:30 + +Porro mater pueri ait : Vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, non dimittam te. Surrexit ergo, et secutus est eam. + +** II Kings 4:31 + +Giezi autem præcesserat ante eos, et posuerat baculum super faciem pueri, et non erat vox, neque sensus : reversusque est in occursum ejus, et nuntiavit ei, dicens : Non surrexit puer. + +** II Kings 4:32 + +Ingressus est ergo Eliseus domum, et ecce puer mortuus jacebat in lectulo ejus : + +** II Kings 4:33 + +ingressusque clausit ostium super se et super puerum, et oravit ad Dominum. + +** II Kings 4:34 + +Et ascendit, et incubuit super puerum : posuitque os suum super os ejus, et oculos suos super oculos ejus, et manus suas super manus ejus : et incurvavit se super eum, et calefacta est caro pueri. + +** II Kings 4:35 + +At ille reversus, deambulavit in domo, semel huc atque illuc : et ascendit, et incubuit super eum : et oscitavit puer septies, aperuitque oculos. + +** II Kings 4:36 + +At ille vocavit Giezi, et dixit ei : Voca Sunamitidem hanc. Quæ vocata, ingressa est ad eum. Qui ait : Tolle filium tuum. + +** II Kings 4:37 + +Venit illa, et corruit ad pedes ejus, et adoravit super terram : tulitque filium suum, et egressa est. + +** II Kings 4:38 + +Et Eliseus reversus est in Galgala. Erat autem fames in terra, et filii prophetarum habitabant coram eo. Dixitque uni de pueris suis : Pone ollam grandem, et coque pulmentum filiis prophetarum. + +** II Kings 4:39 + +Et egressus est unus in agrum ut colligeret herbas agrestes : invenitque quasi vitem silvestrem, et collegit ex ea colocynthidas agri, et implevit pallium suum, et reversus concidit in ollam pulmenti : nesciebat enim quid esset. + +** II Kings 4:40 + +Infuderunt ergo sociis ut comederent : cumque gustassent de coctione, clamaverunt, dicentes : Mors in olla, vir Dei. Et non potuerunt comedere. + +** II Kings 4:41 + +At ille : Afferte, inquit, farinam. Cumque tulissent, misit in ollam, et ait : Infunde turbæ, ut comedant. Et non fuit amplius quidquam amaritudinis in olla. + +** II Kings 4:42 + +Vir autem quidam venit de Baalsalisa deferens viro Dei panes primitiarum, viginti panes hordeaceos, et frumentum novum in pera sua. At ille dixit : Da populo, ut comedat. + +** II Kings 4:43 + +Responditque ei minister ejus : Quantum est hoc, ut apponam centum viris ? Rursum ille ait : Da populo, ut comedat : hæc enim dicit Dominus : Comedent, et supererit. + +** II Kings 4:44 + +Posuit itaque coram eis : qui comederunt, et superfuit juxta verbum Domini. + +* II Kings 5 + +** II Kings 5:1 + +Naaman princeps militiæ regis Syriæ erat vir magnus apud dominum suum, et honoratus : per illum enim dedit Dominus salutem Syriæ : erat autem vir fortis et dives, sed leprosus. + +** II Kings 5:2 + +Porro de Syria egressi fuerant latrunculi, et captivam duxerant de terra Israël puellam parvulam, quæ erat in obsequio uxoris Naaman : + +** II Kings 5:3 + +quæ ait ad dominam suam : Utinam fuisset dominus meus ad prophetam qui est in Samaria, profecto curasset eum a lepra quam habet. + +** II Kings 5:4 + +Ingressus est itaque Naaman ad dominum suum, et nuntiavit ei, dicens : Sic et sic locuta est puella de terra Israël. + +** II Kings 5:5 + +Dixitque ei rex Syriæ : Vade, et mittam litteras ad regem Israël. Qui cum profectus esset, et tulisset secum decem talenta argenti, et sex millia aureos, et decem mutatoria vestimentorum, + +** II Kings 5:6 + +detulit litteras ad regem Israël in hæc verba : Cum acceperis epistolam hanc, scito quod miserim ad te Naaman servum meum, ut cures eum a lepra sua. + +** II Kings 5:7 + +Cumque legisset rex Israël litteras, scidit vestimenta sua, et ait : Numquid deus ego sum, ut occidere possim et vivificare, quia iste misit ad me ut curem hominem a lepra sua ? animadvertite, et videte quod occasiones quærat adversum me. + +** II Kings 5:8 + +Quod cum audisset Eliseus vir Dei, scidisse videlicet regem Israël vestimenta sua, misit ad eum, dicens : Quare scidisti vestimenta tua ? veniat ad me, et sciat esse prophetam in Israël. + +** II Kings 5:9 + +Venit ergo Naaman cum equis et curribus, et stetit ad ostium domus Elisei : + +** II Kings 5:10 + +misitque ad eum Eliseus nuntium, dicens : Vade, et lavare septies in Jordane, et recipiet sanitatem caro tua, atque mundaberis. + +** II Kings 5:11 + +Iratus Naaman recedebat, dicens : Putabam quod egrederetur ad me, et stans invocaret nomen Domini Dei sui, et tangeret manu sua locum lepræ, et curaret me. + +** II Kings 5:12 + +Numquid non meliores sunt Abana et Pharphar fluvii Damasci, omnibus aquis Israël, ut laver in eis, et munder ? Cum ergo vertisset se, et abiret indignans, + +** II Kings 5:13 + +accesserunt ad eum servi sui, et locuti sunt ei : Pater, etsi rem grandem dixisset tibi propheta, certe facere debueras : quanto magis quia nunc dixit tibi : Lavare, et mundaberis ? + +** II Kings 5:14 + +Descendit, et lavit in Jordane septies juxta sermonem viri Dei : et restituta est caro ejus sicut caro pueri parvuli, et mundatus est. + +** II Kings 5:15 + +Reversusque ad virum Dei cum universo comitatu suo, venit, et stetit coram eo, et ait : Vere scio quod non sit alius deus in universa terra, nisi tantum in Israël. Obsecro itaque ut accipias benedictionem a servo tuo. + +** II Kings 5:16 + +At ille respondit : Vivit Dominus, ante quem sto, quia non accipiam. Cumque vim faceret, penitus non acquievit. + +** II Kings 5:17 + +Dixitque Naaman : Ut vis : sed, obsecro, concede mihi servo tuo ut tollam onus duorum burdonum de terra : non enim faciet ultra servus tuus holocaustum aut victimam diis alienis, nisi Domino. + +** II Kings 5:18 + +Hoc autem solum est, de quo depreceris Dominum pro servo tuo, quando ingredietur dominus meus templum Remmon ut adoret : et illo innitente super manum meam, si adoravero in templo Remmon, adorante eo in eodem loco, ut ignoscat mihi Dominus servo tuo pro hac re. + +** II Kings 5:19 + +Qui dixit ei : Vade in pace. Abiit ergo ab eo electo terræ tempore. + +** II Kings 5:20 + +Dixitque Giezi puer viri Dei : Pepercit dominus meus Naaman Syro isti, ut non acciperet ab eo quæ attulit : vivit Dominus, quia curram post eum, et accipiam ab eo aliquid. + +** II Kings 5:21 + +Et secutus est Giezi post tergum Naaman : quem cum vidisset ille currentem ad se, desiliit de curru in occursum ejus, et ait : Rectene sunt omnia ? + +** II Kings 5:22 + +Et ille ait : Recte. Dominus meus misit me ad te dicens : Modo venerunt ad me duo adolescentes de monte Ephraim, ex filiis prophetarum : da eis talentum argenti, et vestes mutatorias duplices. + +** II Kings 5:23 + +Dixitque Naaman : Melius est ut accipias duo talenta. Et coëgit eum, ligavitque duo talenta argenti in duobus saccis, et duplicia vestimenta, et imposuit duobus pueris suis, qui et portaverunt coram eo. + +** II Kings 5:24 + +Cumque venisset jam vesperi, tulit de manu eorum, et reposuit in domo, dimisitque viros, et abierunt. + +** II Kings 5:25 + +Ipse autem ingressus, stetit coram domino suo. Et dixit Eliseus : Unde venis, Giezi ? Qui respondit : Non ivit servus tuus quoquam. + +** II Kings 5:26 + +At ille ait : Nonne cor meum in præsenti erat, quando reversus est homo de curru suo in occursum tui ? nunc igitur accepisti argentum, et accepisti vestes ut emas oliveta, et vineas, et oves, et boves, et servos, et ancillas. + +** II Kings 5:27 + +Sed et lepra Naaman adhærebit tibi, et semini tuo usque in sempiternum.

Qui dixit : Ite. + +** II Kings 6:3 + +Et ait unus ex illis : Veni ergo et tu cum servis tuis. Respondit : Ego veniam. + +** II Kings 6:4 + +Et abiit cum eis. Cumque venissent ad Jordanem, cædebant ligna. + +** II Kings 6:5 + +Accidit autem ut cum unus materiam succidisset, caderet ferrum securis in aquam : exclamavitque ille, et ait : Heu ! heu ! heu ! domine mi : et hoc ipsum mutuo acceperam. + +** II Kings 6:6 + +Dixit autem homo Dei : Ubi cecidit ? At ille monstravit ei locum. Præcidit ergo lignum, et misit illuc : natavitque ferrum, + +** II Kings 6:7 + +et ait : Tolle. Qui extendit manum, et tulit illud. + +** II Kings 6:8 + +Rex autem Syriæ pugnabat contra Israël, consiliumque iniit cum servis suis, dicens : In loco illo et illo ponamus insidias. + +** II Kings 6:9 + +Misit itaque vir Dei ad regem Israël, dicens : Cave ne transeas in locum illum : quia ibi Syri in insidiis sunt. + +** II Kings 6:10 + +Misit itaque rex Israël ad locum quem dixerat ei vir Dei, et præoccupavit eum, et observavit se ibi non semel neque bis. + +** II Kings 6:11 + +Conturbatumque est cor regis Syriæ pro hac re : et convocatis servis suis, ait : Quare non indicatis mihi quis proditor mei sit apud regem Israël ? + +** II Kings 6:12 + +Dixitque unus servorum ejus : Nequaquam, domine mi rex, sed Eliseus propheta qui est in Israël, indicat regi Israël omnia verba quæcumque locutus fueris in conclavi tuo. + +** II Kings 6:13 + +Dixitque eis : Ite, et videte ubi sit, ut mittam, et capiam eum.

Duxit ergo eos in Samariam : + +** II Kings 6:20 + +cumque ingressi fuissent in Samariam, dixit Eliseus : Domine, aperi oculos istorum, ut videant. Aperuitque Dominus oculos eorum, et viderunt se esse in medio Samariæ. + +** II Kings 6:21 + +Dixitque rex Israël ad Eliseum, cum vidisset eos : Numquid percutiam eos, pater mi ? + +** II Kings 6:22 + +At ille ait : Non percuties : neque enim cepisti eos gladio et arcu tuo, ut percutias : sed pone panem et aquam coram eis, ut comedant et bibant, et vadant ad dominum suum. + +** II Kings 6:23 + +Appositaque est eis ciborum magna præparatio, et comederunt et biberunt, et dimisit eos, abieruntque ad dominum suum, et ultra non venerunt latrones Syriæ in terram Israël. + +** II Kings 6:24 + +Factum est autem post hæc, congregavit Benadad rex Syriæ universum exercitum suum, et ascendit, et obsidebat Samariam. + +** II Kings 6:25 + +Factaque est fames magna in Samaria : et tamdiu obsessa est, donec venundaretur caput asini octoginta argenteis, et quarta pars cabi stercoris columbarum quinque argenteis. + +** II Kings 6:26 + +Cumque rex Israël transiret per murum, mulier quædam exclamavit ad eum, dicens : Salva me, domine mi rex. + +** II Kings 6:27 + +Qui ait : Non te salvat Dominus : unde te possum salvare ? de area, vel de torculari ? Dixitque ad eam rex : Quid tibi vis ? Quæ respondit : + +** II Kings 6:28 + +Mulier ista dixit mihi : Da filium tuum, ut comedamus eum hodie, et filium meum comedemus cras. + +** II Kings 6:29 + +Coximus ergo filium meum, et comedimus.

enim rex Assyriorum in Damascum, et vastavit eam, et transtulit habitatores ejus Cyrenen : Rasin autem interfecit. + +** II Kings 16:10 + +Perrexitque rex Achaz in occursum Theglathphalasar regis Assyriorum in Damascum : cumque vidisset altare Damasci, misit rex Achaz ad Uriam sacerdotem exemplar ejus, et similitudinem juxta omne opus ejus. + +** II Kings 16:11 + +Exstruxitque Urias sacerdos altare : juxta omnia quæ præceperat rex Achaz de Damasco, ita fecit sacerdos Urias donec veniret rex Achaz de Damasco. + +** II Kings 16:12 + +Cumque venisset rex de Damasco, vidit altare, et veneratus est illud : ascenditque et immolavit holocausta et sacrificium suum, + +** II Kings 16:13 + +et libavit libamina, et fudit sanguinem pacificorum quæ obtulerat super altare. + +** II Kings 16:14 + +Porro altare æreum quod erat coram Domino, transtulit de facie templi, et de loco altaris, et de loco templi Domini : posuitque illud ex latere altaris ad aquilonem. + +** II Kings 16:15 + +Præcepit quoque rex Achaz Uriæ sacerdoti, dicens : Super altare majus offer holocaustum matutinum, et sacrificium vespertinum, et holocaustum regis, et sacrificium ejus, et holocaustum universi populi terræ, et sacrificia eorum, et libamina eorum : et omnem sanguinem holocausti, et universum sanguinem victimæ super illud effundes : altare vero æreum erit paratum ad voluntatem meam. + +** II Kings 16:16 + +Fecit igitur Urias sacerdos juxta omnia quæ præceperat rex Achaz. + +** II Kings 16:17 + +Tulit autem rex Achaz cælatas bases, et luterem qui erat desuper : et mare deposuit de bobus

cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David : et regnavit Ezechias filius ejus pro eo. + +* II Kings 17 + +** II Kings 17:1 + +Anno duodecimo Achaz regis Juda, regnavit Osee filius

eam tribus annis. + +** II Kings 17:6 + +Anno autem nono Osee, cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam, et transtulit Israël in Assyrios : posuitque eos in Hala et in Habor juxta fluvium Gozan, in civitatibus Medorum. + +** II Kings 17:7 + +Factum est enim, cum peccassent filii Israël Domino Deo suo, qui eduxerat eos de terra Ægypti, de manu Pharaonis regis Ægypti, coluerunt deos alienos. + +** II Kings 17:8 + +Et ambulaverunt juxta ritum gentium quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël et regum Israël, quia similiter fecerant. + +** II Kings 17:9 + +Et offenderunt filii Israël verbis non rectis Dominum Deum suum : et ædificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis, a turre custodum usque ad civitatem munitam. + +** II Kings 17:10 + +Feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi, et subter omne lignum nemorosum : + +** II Kings 17:11 + +et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in morem gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum : feceruntque verba pessima irritantes Dominum. + +** II Kings 17:12 + +Et coluerunt immunditias de quibus præcepit eis Dominus ne facerent verbum hoc. + +** II Kings 17:13 + +Et testificatus est Dominus in Israël et in Juda per

manu servorum meorum prophetarum. + +** II Kings 17:14 + +Qui non audierunt, sed induraverunt cervicem suam juxta cervicem patrum suorum, qui noluerunt obedire Domino Deo suo. + +** II Kings 17:15 + +Et abjecerunt legitima ejus, et pactum quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, et testificationes quibus contestatus est eos : secutique sunt vanitates, et vane egerunt : et secuti sunt gentes quæ erant per circuitum eorum, super quibus præceperat Dominus eis ut non facerent sicut et illæ faciebant. + +** II Kings 17:16 + +Et dereliquerunt omnia præcepta Domini Dei sui : feceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos, et lucos, et adoraverunt universam militiam cæli : servieruntque Baal, + +** II Kings 17:17 + +et consecraverunt filios suos et filias suas per ignem : et divinationibus inserviebant, et auguriis : et tradiderunt se ut facerent malum coram Domino, ut irritarent eum. + +** II Kings 17:18 + +Iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israëli, et abstulit eos a conspectu suo, et non remansit nisi tribus Juda tantummodo. + +** II Kings 17:19 + +Sed nec ipse Juda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui : verum ambulavit in erroribus Israël, quos operatus fuerat. + +** II Kings 17:20 + +Projecitque Dominus omne semen Israël, et afflixit eos, et tradidit eos in manu diripientium, donec projiceret eos a facie sua : + +** II Kings 17:21 + +ex eo jam tempore quo scissus est Israël a domo David, et constituerunt sibi regem Jeroboam filium Nabat : separavit enim Jeroboam Israël a Domino, et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum. + +** II Kings 17:22 + +Et ambulaverunt filii Israël in universis peccatis Jeroboam quæ fecerat : et non recesserunt ab eis, + +** II Kings 17:23 + +usquequo Dominus auferret Israël a facie sua, sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarum : translatusque est Israël de terra sua in Assyrios, usque in diem hanc. + +** II Kings 17:24 + +Adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone, et de Cutha, et de Avah, et de Emath, et de Sepharvaim : et collocavit eos in civitatibus Samariæ pro filiis Israël : qui possederunt Samariam, et habitaverunt in urbibus ejus. + +** II Kings 17:25 + +Cumque ibi habitare cœpissent, non timebant Dominum : et immisit in eos Dominus leones, qui interficiebant eos. + +** II Kings 17:26 + +Nuntiatumque est regi Assyriorum, et dictum : Gentes quas transtulisti, et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariæ, ignorant legitima Dei terræ : et immisit in eos Dominus leones, et ecce interficiunt eos, eo quod ignorent ritum Dei terræ. + +** II Kings 17:27 + +Præcepit autem rex Assyriorum, dicens : Ducite illuc unum de sacerdotibus quos inde captivos adduxistis, et vadat, et habitet cum eis : et doceat eos legitima Dei terræ. + +** II Kings 17:28 + +Igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria, habitavit in Bethel, et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum. + +** II Kings 17:29 + +Et unaquæque gens fabricata est deum suum : posueruntque eos in fanis excelsis quæ fecerant Samaritæ, gens et gens in urbibus suis, in quibus habitabat. + +** II Kings 17:30 + +Viri enim Babylonii fecerunt Sochothbenoth : viri autem Cuthæi fecerunt Nergel : et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima. + +** II Kings 17:31 + +Porro Hevæi fecerunt Nebahaz et Tharthac. Hi autem qui erant de Sepharvaim, comburebant filios suos igni, Adramelech et Anamelech diis Sepharvaim, + +** II Kings 17:32 + +et nihilominus colebant Dominum. Fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum, et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus. + +** II Kings 17:33 + +Et cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant juxta consuetudinem gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam. + +** II Kings 17:34 + +Usque in præsentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum : non timent Dominum, neque custodiunt cæremonias ejus, judicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod præceperat Dominus filiis Jacob, quem cognominavit Israël : + +** II Kings 17:35 + +et percusserat cum eis pactum, et mandaverat eis, dicens : Nolite timere deos alienos, et non adoretis eos, neque colatis eos, et non immoletis eis : + +** II Kings 17:36 + +sed Dominum Deum vestrum, qui eduxit vos de terra Ægypti in fortitudine magna et in brachio extento, ipsum timete, et illum adorate, et ipsi immolate. + +** II Kings 17:37 + +Cæremonias quoque, et judicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod scripsit vobis, custodite ut faciatis cunctis diebus : et non timeatis deos alienos. + +** II Kings 17:38 + +Et pactum quod percussit vobiscum, nolite oblivisci : nec colatis deos alienos, + +** II Kings 17:39 + +sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete, et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum. + +** II Kings 17:40 + +Illi vero non audierunt, sed juxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant. + +** II Kings 17:41 + +Fuerunt igitur gentes istæ timentes quidem Dominum, sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes : nam et filii eorum, et nepotes, sicut fecerunt patres sui, ita faciunt usque in præsentem diem. + +* II Kings 18 + +** II Kings 18:1 + +Anno tertio Osee filii Ela regis Israël, regnavit Ezechias filius Achaz regis Juda. + +** II Kings 18:2 + +Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et viginti novem annis regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus Abi filia Zachariæ. + +** II Kings 18:3 + +Fecitque quod erat bonum coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat David pater ejus. + +** II Kings 18:4 + +Ipse dissipavit excelsa, et contrivit statuas, et succidit lucos, confregitque serpentem æneum quem fecerat Moyses : siquidem usque ad illud tempus filii Israël adolebant ei incensum : vocavitque nomen ejus Nohestan. + +** II Kings 18:5 + +In Domino Deo Israël speravit : itaque post eum non fuit similis ei de cunctis regibus Juda, sed neque in his qui ante eum fuerunt : + +** II Kings 18:6 + +et adhæsit Domino, et non recessit a vestigiis ejus, fecitque mandata ejus, quæ præceperat Dominus Moysi. + +** II Kings 18:7 + +Unde et erat Dominus cum eo, et in cunctis ad quæ procedebat, sapienter se agebat.

nunc hic sumus orantes pro vobis. + +** II Maccabees 1:7 + +Regnante Demetrio, anno centesimo sexagesimo nono, nos Judæi scripsimus vobis in tribulatione et impetu qui supervenit nobis in istis annis, ex quo recessit Jason a sancta terra, et a regno. + +** II Maccabees 1:8 + +Portam succenderunt, et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem : et oravimus ad Dominum, et exauditi sumus, et obtulimus sacrificium et similaginem, et accendimus lucernas, et proposuimus panes. + +** II Maccabees 1:9 + +Et nunc frequentate dies scenopegiæ mensis Casleu. + +** II Maccabees 1:10 + +Anno centesimo octogesimo octavo, populus qui est Jerosolymis et in Judæa, senatusque et Judas, Aristobolo magistro Ptolemæi regis, qui est de genere christorum sacerdotum, et his qui in Ægypto sunt Judæis, salutem et sanitatem. + +** II Maccabees 1:11 + +De magnis periculis a Deo liberati, magnifice gratias agimus ipsi, utpote qui adversus talem regem dimicavimus. + +** II Maccabees 1:12 + +Ipse enim ebullire fecit de Perside eos qui pugnaverunt contra nos et sanctam civitatem. + +** II Maccabees 1:13 + +Nam cum in Perside esset dux ipse, et cum ipso immensus exercitus, cecidit in templo Naneæ, consilio deceptus sacerdotum Naneæ. + +** II Maccabees 1:14 + +Etenim cum ea habitaturus venit ad locum Antiochus et amici ejus, et ut acciperet pecunias multas dotis nomine. + +** II Maccabees 1:15 + +Cumque proposuissent eas sacerdotes Naneæ, et ipse cum paucis ingressus esset intra ambitum fani, clauserunt templum, + +** II Maccabees 1:16 + +cum intrasset Antiochus : apertoque occulto aditu templi, mittentes lapides percusserunt ducem et eos qui cum eo erant : et diviserunt membratim, et capitibus amputatis foras projecerunt. + +** II Maccabees 1:17 + +Per omnia benedictus Deus, qui tradidit impios. + +** II Maccabees 1:18 + +Facturi igitur quinta et vigesima die mensis Casleu purificationem templi, necessarium duximus significare vobis : ut et vos quoque agatis diem scenopegiæ, et diem ignis, qui datus est quando Nehemias ædificato templo et altari obtulit sacrificia. + +** II Maccabees 1:19 + +Nam cum in Persidem ducerentur patres nostri, sacerdotes qui tunc cultores Dei erant, acceptum ignem de altari occulte absconderunt in valle, ubi erat puteus altus et siccus, et in eo contutati sunt eum, ita ut omnibus ignotus esset locus. + +** II Maccabees 1:20 + +Cum autem præterissent anni multi, et placuit Deo ut mitteretur Nehemias a rege Persidis, nepotes sacerdotum illorum qui absconderant, misit ad requirendum ignem : et sicut narraverunt nobis, non invenerunt ignem, sed aquam crassam. + +** II Maccabees 1:21 + +Et jussit eos haurire, et afferre sibi : et sacrificia quæ imposita erant, jussit sacerdos Nehemias aspergi ipsa aqua : et ligna, et quæ erant superposita. + +** II Maccabees 1:22 + +Utque hoc factum est, et tempus affuit quo sol refulsit, qui prius erat in nubilo, accensus est ignis magnus, ita ut omnes mirarentur. + +** II Maccabees 1:23 + +Orationem autem faciebant omnes sacerdotes, dum consummaretur sacrificium, Jonatha inchoante, ceteris autem respondentibus. + +** II Maccabees 1:24 + +Et Nehemiæ erat oratio hunc habens modum : Domine Deus omnium creator, terribilis et fortis, justus et misericors, qui solus est bonus rex, + +** II Maccabees 1:25 + +solus præstans, solus justus et omnipotens et æternus, qui liberas Israël de omni malo ; qui fecisti patres electos, et sanctificasti eos : + +** II Maccabees 1:26 + +accipe sacrificium pro universo populo tuo Israël, et custodi partem tuam, et sanctifica. + +** II Maccabees 1:27 + +Congrega dispersionem nostram, libera eos qui serviunt gentibus, et contemptos et abominatos respice, ut sciant gentes quia tu es Deus noster. + +** II Maccabees 1:28 + +Afflige opprimentes nos, et contumeliam facientes in superbia. + +** II Maccabees 1:29 + +Constitue populum tuum in loco sancto tuo, sicut dixit Moyses. + +** II Maccabees 1:30 + +Sacerdotes autem psallebant hymnos usquequo consumptum esset sacrificium. + +** II Maccabees 1:31 + +Cum autem consumptum esset sacrificium, ex residua aqua Nehemias jussit lapides majores perfundi. + +** II Maccabees 1:32 + +Quod ut factum est, ex eis flamma accensa est : sed ex lumine quod refulsit ab altari, consumpta est. + +** II Maccabees 1:33 + +Ut vero manifestata est res, renuntiatum est regi Persarum quod in loco in quo ignem absconderent hi qui translati fuerant sacerdotes, aqua apparuit, de qua Nehemias, et qui cum eo erant, purificaverunt sacrificia. + +** II Maccabees 1:34 + +Considerans autem rex, et rem diligenter examinans, fecit ei templum, ut probaret quod factum erat : + +** II Maccabees 1:35 + +et cum probasset, sacerdotibus donavit multa bona, et alia atque alia munera : et accipiens manu sua, tribuebat eis. + +** II Maccabees 1:36 + +Appellavit autem Nehemias hunc locum Nephthar, quod interpretatur Purificatio : vocatur autem apud plures Nephi. + +* II Maccabees 2 + +** II Maccabees 2:1 + +Invenitur autem in descriptionibus Jeremiæ prophetæ, quod jussit eos ignem accipere qui transmigrabant, ut significatum est, et ut mandavit transmigratis. + +** II Maccabees 2:2 + +Et dedit illis legem, ne obliviscerentur præcepta Domini, et non exerrarent mentibus, videntes simulacra aurea et argentea, et ornamenta eorum. + +** II Maccabees 2:3 + +Et alia hujusmodi dicens, hortabatur ne legem amoverent a corde suo. + +** II Maccabees 2:4 + +Erat autem in ipsa scriptura, quomodo tabernaculum et arcam jussit propheta divino responso ad se facto comitari secum, usquequo exiit in montem in quo Moyses ascendit, et vidit Dei hæreditatem. + +** II Maccabees 2:5 + +Et veniens ibi Jeremias, invenit locum speluncæ : et tabernaculum, et arcam, et altare incensi intulit illuc, et ostium obstruxit. + +** II Maccabees 2:6 + +Et accesserunt quidam simul, qui sequebantur, ut notarent sibi locum : et non potuerunt invenire. + +** II Maccabees 2:7 + +Ut autem cognovit Jeremias, culpans illos dixit : Quod ignotus erit locus donec congreget Deus congregationem populi, et propitius fiat : + +** II Maccabees 2:8 + +et tunc Dominus ostendet hæc, et apparebit majestas Domini, et nubes erit, sicut et Moysi manifestabatur, et sicut cum Salomon petiit ut locus sanctificaretur magno Deo, manifestabat hæc. + +** II Maccabees 2:9 + +Magnifice etenim sapientiam tractabat : et ut sapientiam habens, obtulit sacrificium dedicationis et consummationis templi. + +** II Maccabees 2:10 + +Sicut et Moyses orabat ad Dominum, et descendit ignis de cælo et consumpsit holocaustum, sic et Salomon oravit, et descendit ignis de cælo et consumpsit holocaustum. + +** II Maccabees 2:11 + +Et dixit Moyses : Eo quod non sit comestum quod erat pro peccato, consumptum est. + +** II Maccabees 2:12 + +Similiter et Salomon octo diebus celebravit dedicationem. + +** II Maccabees 2:13 + +Inferebantur autem in descriptionibus et commentariis Nehemiæ hæc eadem : et ut construens bibliothecam congregavit de regionibus libros et prophetarum et David, et epistolas regum, et de donariis. + +** II Maccabees 2:14 + +Similiter autem et Judas ea quæ deciderant per bellum quod nobis acciderat, congregavit omnia, et sunt apud nos. + +** II Maccabees 2:15 + +Si ergo desideratis hæc, mittite qui perferant vobis. + +** II Maccabees 2:16 + +Acturi itaque purificationem scripsimus vobis : bene ergo facietis, si egeritis hos dies. + +** II Maccabees 2:17 + +Deus autem, qui liberavit populum suum, et reddidit hæreditatem omnibus, et regnum, et sacerdotium, et sanctificationem, + +** II Maccabees 2:18 + +sicut promisit in lege, speramus quod cito nostri miserebitur, et congregavit de sub cælo in locum sanctum. + +** II Maccabees 2:19 + +Eripuit enim nos de magnis periculis, et locum purgavit. + +** II Maccabees 2:20 + +De Juda vero Machabæo, et fratribus ejus, et de templi magni purificatione, et de aræ dedicatione, + +** II Maccabees 2:21 + +sed et de præliis quæ pertinent ad Antiochum Nobilem et filium ejus Eupatorem, + +** II Maccabees 2:22 + +et de illuminationibus quæ de cælo factæ sunt ad eos qui pro Judæis fortiter fecerunt, ita ut universam regionem, cum pauci essent, vindicarent, et barbaram multitudinem fugarent, + +** II Maccabees 2:23 + +et famosissimum in toto orbe templum recuperarent, et civitatem liberarent, et leges quæ abolitæ erant, restituerentur, Domino cum omni tranquillitate propitio facto illis. + +** II Maccabees 2:24 + +Itemque ab Jasone Cyrenæo quinque libris comprehensa tentavimus nos uno volumine breviare. + +** II Maccabees 2:25 + +Considerantes enim multitudinem librorum, et difficultatem volentibus aggredi narrationes historiarum propter multitudinem rerum, + +** II Maccabees 2:26 + +curavimus volentibus quidem legere, ut esset animi oblectatio : studiosis vero, ut facilius possint memoriæ commendare : omnibus autem legentibus utilitas conferatur. + +** II Maccabees 2:27 + +Et nobis quidem ipsis, qui hoc opus breviandi causa suscepimus, non facilem laborem, immo vero negotium plenum vigiliarum et sudoris assumpsimus. + +** II Maccabees 2:28 + +Sicut hi qui præparant convivium, et quærunt aliorum voluntati parere propter multorum gratiam, libenter laborem sustinemus. + +** II Maccabees 2:29 + +Veritatem quidem de singulis auctoribus concedentes, ipsi autem secundum datam formam brevitati studentes. + +** II Maccabees 2:30 + +Sicut enim novæ domus architecto de universa structura curandum est ; ei vero qui pingere curat, quæ apta sunt ad ornatum exquirenda sunt : ita æstimandum est et in nobis. + +** II Maccabees 2:31 + +Etenim intellectum colligere, et ordinare sermonem, et curiosius partes singulas quasque disquirere, historiæ congruit auctori : + +** II Maccabees 2:32 + +brevitatem vero dictionis sectari, et executiones rerum vitare, brevianti concedendum est. + +** II Maccabees 2:33 + +Hinc ergo narrationem incipiemus : de præfatione tantum dixisse sufficiat. Stultum etenim est ante historiam effluere, in ipsa autem historia succingi. + +* II Maccabees 3 + +** II Maccabees 3:1 + +Igitur cum sancta civitas habitaretur in omni pace, leges etiam adhuc optime custodirentur, propter Oniæ pontificis pietatem, et animos odio habentes mala, + +** II Maccabees 3:2 + +fiebat ut et ipsi reges et principes locum summo honore dignum ducerent, et templum maximis muneribus illustrarent : + +** II Maccabees 3:3 + +ita ut Seleucus Asiæ rex de redditibus suis præstaret omnes sumptus ad ministerium sacrificiorum pertinentes. + +** II Maccabees 3:4 + +Simon autem de tribu Benjamin, præpositus templi constitutus, contendebat, obsistente sibi principe sacerdotum, iniquum aliquid in civitate moliri. + +** II Maccabees 3:5 + +Sed cum vincere Oniam non posset, venit ad Apollonium Tharsææ filium, qui eo tempore erat dux Cœlesyriæ et Phœnicis : + +** II Maccabees 3:6 + +et nuntiavit ei pecuniis innumerabilibus plenum esse ærarium Jerosolymis, et communes copias immensas esse, quæ non pertinent ad rationem sacrificiorum : esse autem possibile sub potestate regis cadere universa. + +** II Maccabees 3:7 + +Cumque retulisset ad regem Apollonius de pecuniis quæ delatæ erant, illæ accitum Heliodorum, qui erat super negotia ejus, misit, cum mandatis ut prædictam pecuniam transportaret. + +** II Maccabees 3:8 + +Statimque Heliodorus iter est agressus, specie quidem quasi per Cœlesyriam et Phœnicen civitates esset peragraturus, re vera autem regis propositum perfecturus. + +** II Maccabees 3:9 + +Sed cum venisset Jerosolymam, et benigne a summo sacerdote in civitate esset exceptus, narravit de dato indicio pecuniarum, et cujus rei gratia adesset, aperuit : interrogabat autem si vere hæc ita essent. + +** II Maccabees 3:10 + +Tunc summus sacerdos ostendit deposita esse hæc, et victualia viduarum et pupillorum : + +** II Maccabees 3:11 + +quædam vero esse Hircani Tobiæ viri valde eminentis, in his quæ detulerat impius Simon : universa autem argenti talenta esse quadringenta, et auri ducenta : + +** II Maccabees 3:12 + +decipi vero eos qui credidissent loco et templo quod per universum mundum honoratur pro sui veneratione et sanctitate, omnino impossibile esse. + +** II Maccabees 3:13 + +At ille pro his quæ habebat in mandatis a rege, dicebat omni genere regi ea esse deferenda. + +** II Maccabees 3:14 + +Constituta autem die, intrabat de his Heliodorus ordinaturus. Non modica vero per universam civitatem erat trepidatio. + +** II Maccabees 3:15 + +Sacerdotes autem ante altare cum stolis sacerdotalibus jactaverunt se, et invocabant de cælo eum qui de depositis legem posuit, ut his qui deposuerant ea salva custodiret. + +** II Maccabees 3:16 + +Jam vero qui videbat summi sacerdotis vultum, mente vulnerabatur : facies enim et color immutatus declarabat internum animi dolorem : + +** II Maccabees 3:17 + +circumfusa enim erat mœstitia quædam viro, et horror corporis, per quem manifestus aspicientibus dolor cordis ejus efficiebatur. + +** II Maccabees 3:18 + +Alii etiam gregatim de domibus confluebant, publica supplicatione obsecrantes, pro eo quod in contemptum locus esset venturus. + +** II Maccabees 3:19 + +Accinctæque mulieres ciliciis pectus, per plateas confluebant : sed et virgines quæ conclusæ erant, procurrebant ad Oniam, aliæ autem ad muros, quædam vero per fenestras aspiciebant : + +** II Maccabees 3:20 + +universæ autem protendentes manus in cælum, deprecabantur : + +** II Maccabees 3:21 + +erat enim misera commistæ multitudinis, et magni sacerdotis in agone constituti exspectatio. + +** II Maccabees 3:22 + +Et hi quidem invocabant omnipotentem Deum, ut credita sibi his qui crediderant, cum omni integritate conservarentur. + +** II Maccabees 3:23 + +Heliodorus autem, quod decreverat, perficiebat eodem loco ipse cum satellitibus circa ærarium præsens. + +** II Maccabees 3:24 + +Sed spiritus omnipotentis Dei magnam fecit suæ ostensionis evidentiam, ita ut omnes qui ausi fuerant parere ei, ruentes Dei virtute, in dissolutionem et formidinem converterentur. + +** II Maccabees 3:25 + +Apparuit enim illis quidam equus terribilem habens sessorem, optimis operimentis adornatus : isque cum impetu Heliodoro priores calces elisit : qui autem ei sedebat, videbatur arma habere aurea. + +** II Maccabees 3:26 + +Alii etiam apparuerunt duo juvenes virtute decori, optimi gloria, speciosique amictu : qui circumsteterunt eum, et ex utraque parte flagellabant, sine intermissione multis plagis verberantes. + +** II Maccabees 3:27 + +Subito autem Heliodorus concidit in terram, eumque multa caligine circumfusum rapuerunt, atque in sella gestatoria positum ejecerunt. + +** II Maccabees 3:28 + +Et is, qui cum multis cursoribus et satellitibus prædictum ingressus est ærarium, portabatur nullo sibi auxilium ferente, manifesta Dei cognita virtute : + +** II Maccabees 3:29 + +et ille quidem per divinam virtutem jacebat mutus, atque omni spe et salute privatus. + +** II Maccabees 3:30 + +Hi autem Dominum benedicebant, quia magnificabat locum suum : et templum, quod paulo ante timore ac tumultu erat plenum, apparente omnipotente Domino, gaudio et lætitia impletum est. + +** II Maccabees 3:31 + +Tunc vero ex amicis Heliodori quidam rogabant confestim Oniam, ut invocaret Altissimum ut vitam donaret ei qui in supremo spiritu erat constitutus. + +** II Maccabees 3:32 + +Considerans autem summus sacerdos ne forte rex suspicaretur malitiam aliquam ex Judæis circa Heliodorum consummatum, obtulit pro salute viri hostiam salutarem. + +** II Maccabees 3:33 + +Cumque summus sacerdos exoraret, iidem juvenes eisdem vestibus amicti astantes Heliodoro, dixerunt : Oniæ sacerdoti gratias age : nam propter eum Dominus tibi vitam donavit. + +** II Maccabees 3:34 + +Tu autem a Deo flagellatus, nuntia omnibus magnalia Dei, et potestatem. Et his dictis, non comparuerunt. + +** II Maccabees 3:35 + +Heliodorus autem, hostia Deo oblata, et votis magnis promissis ei qui vivere illi concessit, et Oniæ gratias agens, recepto exercitu, repedabat ad regem. + +** II Maccabees 3:36 + +Testabatur autem omnibus ea quæ sub oculis suis viderat opera magni Dei. + +** II Maccabees 3:37 + +Cum autem rex interrogasset Heliodorum, quis esset aptus adhuc semel Jerosolymam mitti, ait : + +** II Maccabees 3:38 + +Si quem habes hostem, aut regni tui insidiatorem, mitte illuc, et flagellatum eum recipies, si tamen evaserit : eo quod in loco sit vere Dei quædam virtus. + +** II Maccabees 3:39 + +Nam ipse, qui habet in cælis habitationem, visitator et adjutor est loci illius, et venientes ad malefaciendum percutit ac perdit. + +** II Maccabees 3:40 + +Igitur de Heliodoro et ærarii custodia ita res se habet. + +* II Maccabees 4 + +** II Maccabees 4:1 + +Simon autem prædictus, pecuniarum et patriæ delator, male loquebatur de Onia, tamquam ipse Heliodorum instigasset ad hæc, et ipse fuisset incentor malorum : + +** II Maccabees 4:2 + +provisoremque civitatis, ac defensorem gentis suæ, et æmulatorem legis Dei, audebat insidiatorem regni dicere. + +** II Maccabees 4:3 + +Sed cum inimicitiæ in tantum procederent ut etiam per quosdam Simonis necessarios homicidia fierent, + +** II Maccabees 4:4 + +considerans Onias periculum contentionis, et Apollonium insanire, utpote ducem Cœlesyriæ et Phœnicis, ad augendam malitiam Simonis ad regem se contulit, + +** II Maccabees 4:5 + +non ut civium accusator, sed communem utilitatem apud semetipsum universæ multitudinis considerans. + +** II Maccabees 4:6 + +Videbat enim sine regali providentia impossibile esse pacem rebus dari, nec Simonem posse cessare a stultitia sua. + +** II Maccabees 4:7 + +Sed post Seleuci vitæ excessum, cum suscepisset regnum Antiochus, qui Nobilis appellabatur, ambiebat Jason frater Oniæ summum sacerdotium : + +** II Maccabees 4:8 + +adito rege, promittens ei argenti talenta trecenta sexaginta, et ex redditibus aliis talenta octoginta, + +** II Maccabees 4:9 + +super hæc promittebat et alia centum quinquaginta, si potestati ejus concederetur, gymnasium et ephebiam sibi constituere, et eos qui in Jerosolymis erant, Antiochenos scribere. + +** II Maccabees 4:10 + +Quod cum rex annuisset, et obtinuisset principatum, statim ad gentilem ritum contribules suos transferre cœpit, + +** II Maccabees 4:11 + +et amotis his quæ humanitatis causa Judæis a regibus fuerant constituta per Joannem patrem Eupolemi, qui apud Romanos de amicitia et societate functus est legatione legitima, civium jura destituens, prava instituta sanciebat. + +** II Maccabees 4:12 + +Etenim ausus est sub ipsa arce gymnasium constituere, et optimos quosque epheborum in lupanaribus ponere. + +** II Maccabees 4:13 + +Erat autem hoc non initium, sed incrementum quoddam, et profectus gentilis et alienigenæ conversationis, propter impii et non sacerdotis Jasonis nefarium, et inauditum scelus : + +** II Maccabees 4:14 + +ita ut sacerdotes jam non circa altaris officia dediti essent, sed contempto templo et sacrificiis neglectis, festinarent participes fieri palæstræ et præbitionis ejus injustæ, et in exercitiis disci. + +** II Maccabees 4:15 + +Et patrios quidem honores nihil habentes, græcas glorias optimas arbitrabantur : + +** II Maccabees 4:16 + +quarum gratia periculosa eos contentio habebat, et eorum instituta æmulabantur, ac per omnia his consimiles esse cupiebant, quos hostes et peremptores habuerant. + +** II Maccabees 4:17 + +In leges enim divinas impie agere impune non cedit : sed hoc tempus sequens declarabit. + +** II Maccabees 4:18 + +Cum autem quinquennalis agon Tyri celebraretur, et rex præsens esset, + +** II Maccabees 4:19 + +misit Jason facinorosus ab Jerosolymis viros peccatores, portantes argenti didrachmas trecentas in sacrificum Herculis : quas postulaverunt hi qui asportaverant ne in sacrificiis erogarentur, quia non oporteret, sed in alios sumptus eas deputari. + +** II Maccabees 4:20 + +Sed hæ oblatæ sunt quidem ab eo qui miserat in sacrificium Herculis : propter præsentes autem datæ sunt in fabricam navium triremium. + +** II Maccabees 4:21 + +Misso autem in Ægyptum Apollonio Mnesthei filio propter primates Ptolemæi Philometoris regis, cum cognovisset Antiochus alienum se a negotiis regni effectum, propriis utilitatibus consulens, profectus inde venit Joppen, et inde Jerosolymam. + +** II Maccabees 4:22 + +Et magnifice ab Jasone et civitate susceptus, cum facularum luminibus et laudibus ingressus est : et inde in Phœnicen exercitum convertit. + +** II Maccabees 4:23 + +Et post triennii tempus, misit Jason Menelaum supradicti Simonis fratrem portantem pecunias regi, et de negotiis necessariis responsa perlaturum. + +** II Maccabees 4:24 + +At ille commendatus regi, cum magnificasset faciem potestatis ejus, in semetipsum retorsit summum sacerdotium, superponens Jasoni talenta argenti trecenta. + +** II Maccabees 4:25 + +Acceptisque a rege mandatis, venit, nihil quidem habens dignum sacerdotio : animos vero crudelis tyranni, et feræ beluæ iram gerens. + +** II Maccabees 4:26 + +Et Jason quidem, qui proprium fratrem captivaverat, ipse deceptus profugus in Ammanitem expulsus est regionem. + +** II Maccabees 4:27 + +Menelaus autem principatum quidem obtinuit : de pecuniis vero regi promissis, nihil agebat, cum exactionem faceret Sostratus, qui arci erat præpositus, + +** II Maccabees 4:28 + +nam ad hunc exactio vectigalium pertinebant : quam ob causam utrique ad regem sunt evocati. + +** II Maccabees 4:29 + +Et Menelaus amotus est a sacerdotio, succedente Lysimacho fratre suo : Sostratus autem prælatus est Cypriis. + +** II Maccabees 4:30 + +Et cum hæc agerentur, contigit Tharsenses et Mallotas seditionem movere, eo quod Antiochidi regis concubinæ dono essent dati. + +** II Maccabees 4:31 + +Festinanter itaque rex venit sedare illos, relicto suffecto uno ex comitibus suis Andronico. + +** II Maccabees 4:32 + +Ratus autem Menelaus accepisse se tempus opportunum, aurea quædam vasa e templo furatus donavit Andronico, et alia vendiderat Tyri, et per vicinas civitates. + +** II Maccabees 4:33 + +Quod cum certissime cognovisset Onias, arguebat eum, ipse in loco tuto se continens Antiochiæ secus Daphnem. + +** II Maccabees 4:34 + +Unde Menelaus accedens ad Andronicum, rogabat ut Oniam interficeret. Qui cum venisset ad Oniam, et datis dextris cum jurejurando (quamvis esset ei suspectus) suasisset de asylo procedere, statim eum peremit, non veritus justitiam. + +** II Maccabees 4:35 + +Ob quam causam non solum Judæi, sed aliæ quoque nationes indignabantur, et moleste ferebant de nece tanti viri injusta. + +** II Maccabees 4:36 + +Sed regressum regem de Ciliciæ locis adierunt Judæi apud Antiochiam, simul et Græci, conquerentes de iniqua nece Oniæ. + +** II Maccabees 4:37 + +Contristatus itaque animo Antiochus propter Oniam, et flexus ad misericordiam, lacrimas fudit, recordatus defuncti sobrietatem et modestiam : + +** II Maccabees 4:38 + +accensisque animis Andronicum purpura exutum, per totam civitatem jubet circumduci : et in eodem loco in quo in Oniam impietatem commiserat, sacrilegum vita privari, Domino illi condignam retribuente pœnam. + +** II Maccabees 4:39 + +Multis autem sacrilegiis in templo a Lysimacho commissis Menelai consilio, et divulgata fama, congregata est multitudo adversum Lysimachum multo jam auro exportato. + +** II Maccabees 4:40 + +Turbis autem insurgentibus, et animis ira repletis, Lysimachus armatis fere tribus millibus iniquis manibus uti cœpit, duce quodam tyranno, ætate pariter et dementia provecto. + +** II Maccabees 4:41 + +Sed ut intellexerunt conatum Lysimachi, alii lapides, alii fustes validos arripuere : quidam vero cinerem in Lysimachum jecere. + +** II Maccabees 4:42 + +Et multi quidem vulnerati, quidam autem et prostrati, omnes vero in fugam conversi sunt : ipsum etiam sacrilegum secus ærarium interfecerunt. + +** II Maccabees 4:43 + +De his ergo cœpit judicium adversus Menelaum agitari. + +** II Maccabees 4:44 + +Et cum venisset rex Tyrum, ad ipsum negotium detulerunt missi tres viri a senioribus. + +** II Maccabees 4:45 + +Et cum superaretur Menelaus, promisit Ptolemæo multas pecunias dare ad suadendum regi. + +** II Maccabees 4:46 + +Itaque Ptolemæus in quodam atrio positum quasi refrigerandi gratia regem adiit, et deduxit a sententia : + +** II Maccabees 4:47 + +et Menelaum quidem universæ malitiæ reum criminibus absolvit : miseros autem qui, etiamsi apud Scythas causam dixissent, innocentes judicarentur, hos morte damnavit. + +** II Maccabees 4:48 + +Cito ergo injustam pœnam dederunt, qui pro civitate, et populo, et sacris vasis causam prosecuti sunt. + +** II Maccabees 4:49 + +Quam ob rem Tyrii quoque indignati, erga sepulturam eorum liberalissimi extiterunt. + +** II Maccabees 4:50 + +Menelaus autem, propter eorum qui in potentia erant avaritiam, permanebat in potestate, crescens in malitia ad insidias civium. + +* II Maccabees 5 + +** II Maccabees 5:1 + +Eodem tempore, Antiochus secundam profectionem paravit in Ægyptum. + +** II Maccabees 5:2 + +Contigit autem per universam Jerosolymorum civitatem videri diebus quadraginta per aëra equites discurrentes, auratas stolas habentes et hastis, quasi cohortes armatos : + +** II Maccabees 5:3 + +et cursus equorum per ordines digestos, et congressiones fieri cominus, et scutorum motus, et galeatorum multitudinem gladiis districtis, et telorum jactus, et aureorum armorum splendorem, omnisque generis loricarum. + +** II Maccabees 5:4 + +Quapropter omnes rogabant in bonum monstra converti. + +** II Maccabees 5:5 + +Sed cum falsus rumor exisset, tamquam vita excessisset Antiochus, assumptis Jason non minus mille viris, repente agressus est civitatem : et civibus ad murum convolantibus ad ultimum apprehensa civitate, Menelaus fugit in arcem : + +** II Maccabees 5:6 + +Jason vero non parcebat in cæde civibus suis, nec cogitabat prosperitatem adversum cognatos malum esse maximum, arbitrans hostium et non civium se trophæa capturum. + +** II Maccabees 5:7 + +Et principatum quidem non obtinuit, finem vero insidiarum suarum confusionem accepit, et profugus iterum abiit in Ammanitem. + +** II Maccabees 5:8 + +Ad ultimum, in exitium sui conclusus ab Areta Arabum tyranno fugiens de civitate in civitatem, omnibus odiosus, ut refuga legum et execrabilis, ut patriæ et civium hostis, in Ægyptum extrusus est : + +** II Maccabees 5:9 + +et qui multos de patria sua expulerat, peregre periit, Lacedæmonas profectus, quasi pro cognatione ibi refugium habiturus : + +** II Maccabees 5:10 + +et qui insepultos multos abjecerat, ipse et illamentatus et insepultus abjicitur, sepultura neque peregrina usus, neque patrio sepulchro participans. + +** II Maccabees 5:11 + +His itaque gestis, suspicatus est rex societatem deserturos Judæos : et ob hoc profectus ex Ægypto efferatis animis, civitatem quidem armis cepit. + +** II Maccabees 5:12 + +Jussit autem militibus interficere, nec parcere occursantibus, et per domos ascendentes trucidare. + +** II Maccabees 5:13 + +Fiebant ergo cædes juvenum ac seniorum, et mulierum et natorum exterminia, virginumque et parvulorum neces. + +** II Maccabees 5:14 + +Erant autem toto triduo octoginta millia interfecti, quadraginta millia vincti, non minus autem venundati. + +** II Maccabees 5:15 + +Sed nec ista sufficiunt : ausus est etiam intrare templum universa terra sanctius, Menelao ductore, qui legum et patriæ fuit proditor : + +** II Maccabees 5:16 + +et scelestis manibus sumens sancta vasa, quæ ab aliis regibus et civitatibus erant posita ad ornatum loci, et gloriam, contrectabat indigne, et contaminabat. + +** II Maccabees 5:17 + +Ita alienatus mente Antiochus, non considerabat quod propter peccata habitantium civitatem, modicum Deus fuerat iratus : propter quod et accidit circa locum despectio : + +** II Maccabees 5:18 + +alioquin nisi contigisset eos multis peccatis esse involutos, sicut Heliodorus, qui missus est a Seleuco rege ad expoliandum ærarium, etiam hic statim adveniens flagellatus, et repulsus utique fuisset ab audacia. + +** II Maccabees 5:19 + +Verum non propter locum, gentem : sed propter gentem, locum Deus elegit. + +** II Maccabees 5:20 + +Ideoque et ipse locus particeps factus est populi malorum : postea autem fiet socius bonorum, et qui derelictus in ira Dei omnipotentis est, iterum in magni Domini reconciliatione cum summa gloria exaltabitur. + +** II Maccabees 5:21 + +Igitur Antiochus mille et octingentis ablatis de templo talentis, velociter Antiochiam regressus est, existimans se præ superbia terram ad navigandum, pelagus vero ad iter agendum deducturum propter mentis elationem. + +** II Maccabees 5:22 + +Reliquit autem et præpositos ad affligendam gentem : Jerosolymis quidem Philippum genere Phrygem, moribus crudeliorem eo ipso a quo constitutus est : + +** II Maccabees 5:23 + +in Garizim autem Andronicum et Menelaum, qui gravius quam ceteri imminebant civibus. + +** II Maccabees 5:24 + +Cumque appositus esset contra Judæos, misit odiosum principem Apollonium cum exercitu viginti et duobus millibus, præcipiens ei omnes perfectæ ætatis interficere, mulieres ac juvenes vendere. + +** II Maccabees 5:25 + +Qui cum venisset Jerosolymam, pacem simulans, quievit usque ad diem sanctum sabbati : et tunc feriatis Judæis arma capere suis præcepit. + +** II Maccabees 5:26 + +Omnesque qui ad spectaculum processerant, trucidavit : et civitatem cum armatis discurrens, ingentem multitudinem peremit. + +** II Maccabees 5:27 + +Judas autem Machabæus, qui decimus fuerat, secesserat in desertum locum, ibique inter feras vitam in montibus cum suis agebat : et fœni cibo vescentes, demorabantur, ne participes essent coinquinationis. + +* II Maccabees 6 + +** II Maccabees 6:1 + +Sed non post multum temporis, misit rex senem quemdam Antiochenum, qui compelleret Judæos ut se transferrent a patriis et Dei legibus : + +** II Maccabees 6:2 + +contaminare etiam quod in Jerosolymis erat templum, et cognominare Jovis Olympii : et in Garizim, prout erant hi qui locum inhabitabant, Jovis hospitalis. + +** II Maccabees 6:3 + +Pessima autem et universis gravis erat malorum incursio : + +** II Maccabees 6:4 + +nam templum luxuria et comessationibus gentium erat plenum, et scortantium cum meretricibus : sacratisque ædibus mulieres se ultro ingerebant, intro ferentes ea quæ non licebat. + +** II Maccabees 6:5 + +Altare etiam plenum erat illicitis, quæ legibus prohibebantur. + +** II Maccabees 6:6 + +Neque autem sabbata custodiebantur, neque dies solemnes patrii servabantur, nec simpliciter Judæum se esse quisquam confitebatur. + +** II Maccabees 6:7 + +Ducebantur autem cum amara necessitate in die natalis regis ad sacrificia : et cum Liberi sacra celebrarentur, cogebantur hedera coronati Libero circuire. + +** II Maccabees 6:8 + +Decretum autem exiit in proximas gentilium civitates, suggerentibus Ptolemæis, ut pari modo et ipsi adversus Judæos agerent, ut sacrificarent : + +** II Maccabees 6:9 + +eos autem qui nollent transire ad instituta gentium, interficerent : erat ergo videre miseriam. + +** II Maccabees 6:10 + +Duæ enim mulieres delatæ sunt natos suos circumcidisse : quas, infantibus ad ubera suspensis, cum publice per civitatem circumduxissent, per muros præcipitaverunt. + +** II Maccabees 6:11 + +Alii vero, ad proximas coëuntes speluncas, et latenter sabbati diem celebrantes, cum indicati essent Philippo, flammis succensi sunt, eo quod verebantur propter religionem et observantiam manu sibimet auxilium ferre. + +** II Maccabees 6:12 + +Obsecro autem eos qui hunc librum lecturi sunt, ne abhorrescant propter adversos casus : sed reputent ea quæ acciderunt, non ad interitum, sed ad correptionem esse generis nostri. + +** II Maccabees 6:13 + +Etenim multo tempore non sinere peccatoribus ex sententia agere, sed statim ultiones adhibere, magni beneficii est indicium. + +** II Maccabees 6:14 + +Non enim, sicut in aliis nationibus, Dominus patienter exspectat, ut eas cum judicii dies advenerit, in plenitudine peccatorum puniat : + +** II Maccabees 6:15 + +ita et in nobis statuit ut, peccatis nostris in finem devolutis, ita demum in nos vindicet. + +** II Maccabees 6:16 + +Propter quod numquam quidem a nobis misericordiam suam amovet : corripiens vero in adversis, populum suum non dereliquit. + +** II Maccabees 6:17 + +Sed hæc nobis ad commonitionem legentium dicta sint paucis. Jam enim veniendum est ad narrationem. + +** II Maccabees 6:18 + +Igitur Eleazarus, unus de primoribus scribarum, vir ætate provectus, et vultu decorus, aperto ore hians compellebatur carnem porcinam manducare. + +** II Maccabees 6:19 + +At ille gloriosissimam mortem magis quam odibilem vitam complectens, voluntarie præibat ad supplicium. + +** II Maccabees 6:20 + +Intuens autem quemadmodum oporteret accedere, patienter sustinens, destinavit non admittere illicita propter vitæ amorem. + +** II Maccabees 6:21 + +Hi autem qui astabant, iniqua miseratione commoti propter antiquam viri amicitiam, tollentes eum secreto rogabant afferri carnes quibus vesci ei licebat, ut simularetur manducasse sicut rex imperaverat de sacrificii carnibus, + +** II Maccabees 6:22 + +ut hoc facto, a morte liberaretur : et propter veterem viri amicitiam, hanc in eo faciebant humanitatem. + +** II Maccabees 6:23 + +At ille cogitare cœpit ætatis ac senectutis suæ eminentiam dignam, et ingenitæ nobilitatis canitiem, atque a puero optimæ conversationis actus : et secundum sanctæ et a Deo conditæ legis constituta, respondit cito, dicens præmitti se velle in infernum. + +** II Maccabees 6:24 + +Non enim ætati nostræ dignum est, inquit, fingere : ut multi adolescentium, arbitrantes Eleazarum nonaginta annorum transisse ad vitam alienigenarum, + +** II Maccabees 6:25 + +et ipsi propter meam simulationem, et propter modicum corruptibilis vitæ tempus decipiantur, et per hoc maculam atque execrationem meæ senectuti conquiram. + +** II Maccabees 6:26 + +Nam etsi in præsenti tempore suppliciis hominum eripiar, sed manum Omnipotentis nec vivus, nec defunctus, effugiam. + +** II Maccabees 6:27 + +Quam ob rem fortiter vita excedendo, senectute quidem dignus apparebo : + +** II Maccabees 6:28 + +adolescentibus autem exemplum forte relinquam, si prompto animo ac fortiter pro gravissimis ac sanctissimis legibus honesta morte perfungar. His dictis, confestim ad supplicium trahebatur. + +** II Maccabees 6:29 + +Hi autem qui eum ducebant, et paulo ante fuerant mitiores, in iram conversi sunt propter sermones ab eo dictos, quos illi per arrogantiam prolatos arbitrabantur. + +** II Maccabees 6:30 + +Sed cum plagis perimeretur, ingemuit, et dixit : Domine, qui habes sanctam scientiam, manifeste tu scis quia cum a morte possem liberari, duros corporis sustineo dolores : secundum animam vero propter timorem tuum libenter hæc patior. + +** II Maccabees 6:31 + +Et iste quidem hoc modo vita decessit, non solum juvenibus, sed et universæ genti memoriam mortis suæ ad exemplum virtutis et fortitudinis derelinquens. + +* II Maccabees 7 + +** II Maccabees 7:1 + +Contigit autem et septem fratres una cum matre sua apprehensos compelli a rege edere contra fas carnes porcinas, flagris et taureis cruciatos. + +** II Maccabees 7:2 + +Unus autem ex illis, qui erat primus, sic ait : Quid quæris, et quid vis discere a nobis ? parati sumus mori, magis quam patrias Dei leges prævaricari. + +** II Maccabees 7:3 + +Iratus itaque rex, jussit sartagines et ollas æneas succendi : quibus statim succensis, + +** II Maccabees 7:4 + +jussit ei qui prior fuerat locutus amputari linguam, et cute capitis abstracta, summas quoque manus et pedes ei præscindi, ceteris ejus fratribus et matre inspicientibus. + +** II Maccabees 7:5 + +Et cum jam per omnia inutilis factus esset, jussit ignem admoveri, et adhuc spirantem torreri in sartagine : in qua cum diu cruciaretur, ceteri una cum matre invicem se hortabantur mori fortiter, + +** II Maccabees 7:6 + +dicentes : Dominus Deus aspiciet veritatem, et consolabitur in nobis, quemadmodum in protestatione cantici declaravit Moyses : Et in servis suis consolabitur. + +** II Maccabees 7:7 + +Mortuo itaque illo primo hoc modo, sequentem deducebant ad illudendum : et cute capitis ejus cum capillis abstracta, interrogabant si manducaret, priusquam toto corpore per membra singula puniretur. + +** II Maccabees 7:8 + +At ille respondens patria voce, dixit : Non faciam. Propter quod et iste, sequenti loco, primi tormenta suscepit : + +** II Maccabees 7:9 + +et in ultimo spiritu constitutus, sic ait : Tu quidem scelestissime in præsenti vita nos perdis : sed Rex mundi defunctos nos pro suis legibus in æternæ vitæ resurrectione suscitabit. + +** II Maccabees 7:10 + +Post hunc tertius illuditur, et linguam postulatus cito protulit, et manus constanter extendit : + +** II Maccabees 7:11 + +et cum fiducia ait : E cælo ista possideo, sed propter Dei leges nunc hæc ipsa despicio, quoniam ab ipso me ea recepturum spero : + +** II Maccabees 7:12 + +ita ut rex, et qui cum ipso erant, mirarentur adolescentis animum, quod tamquam nihilum duceret cruciatus. + +** II Maccabees 7:13 + +Et hoc ita defuncto, quartum vexabant similiter torquentes. + +** II Maccabees 7:14 + +Et cum jam esset ad mortem, sic ait : Potius est ab hominibus morti datos spem exspectare a Deo, iterum ab ipso resuscitandos : tibi enim resurrectio ad vitam non erit. + +** II Maccabees 7:15 + +Et cum admovissent quintum, vexabant eum. At ille respiciens in eum, + +** II Maccabees 7:16 + +dixit : Potestatem inter homines habens, cum sis corruptibilis, facis quod vis : noli autem putare genus nostrum a Deo esse derelictum : + +** II Maccabees 7:17 + +tu autem patienter sustine, et videbis magnam potestatem ipsius, qualiter te et semen tuum torquebit. + +** II Maccabees 7:18 + +Post hunc ducebant sextum, et is, mori incipiens, sic ait : Noli frustra errare : nos enim propter nosmetipsos hæc patimur, peccantes in Deum nostrum, et digna admiratione facta sunt in nobis : + +** II Maccabees 7:19 + +tu autem ne existimes tibi impune futurum, quod contra Deum pugnare tentaveris. + +** II Maccabees 7:20 + +Supra modum autem mater mirabilis, et bonorum memoria digna, quæ pereuntes septem filios sub unius diei tempore conspiciens, bono animo ferebat propter spem quam in Deum habebat : + +** II Maccabees 7:21 + +singulos illorum hortabatur voce patria fortiter, repleta sapientia : et, femineæ cogitationi masculinum animum inserens, + +** II Maccabees 7:22 + +dixit ad eos : Nescio qualiter in utero meo apparuistis, neque enim ego spiritum et animam donavi vobis et vitam, et singulorum membra non ego ipsa compegi : + +** II Maccabees 7:23 + +sed enim mundi Creator, qui formavit hominis nativitatem, quique omnium invenit originem, et spiritum vobis iterum cum misericordia reddet et vitam, sicut nunc vosmetipsos despicitis propter leges ejus. + +** II Maccabees 7:24 + +Antiochus autem, contemni se arbitratus, simul et exprobrantis voce despecta, cum adhuc adolescentior superesset, non solum verbis hortabatur, sed et cum juramento affirmabat se divitem et beatum facturum, et translatum a patriis legibus amicum habiturum, et res necessarias ei præbiturum. + +** II Maccabees 7:25 + +Sed ad hæc cum adolescens nequaquam inclinaretur, vocavit rex matrem, et suadebat ei ut adolescenti fieret in salutem. + +** II Maccabees 7:26 + +Cum autem multis eam verbis esset hortatus, promisit suasurum se filio suo. + +** II Maccabees 7:27 + +Itaque inclinata ad illum, irridens crudelem tyrannum, ait patria voce : Fili mi, miserere mei, quæ te in utero novem mensibus portavi, et lac triennio dedi et alui, et in ætatem istam perduxi. + +** II Maccabees 7:28 + +Peto, nate, ut aspicias ad cælum et terram, et ad omnia quæ in eis sunt, et intelligas quia ex nihilo fecit illa Deus, et hominum genus : + +** II Maccabees 7:29 + +ita fiet, ut non timeas carnificem istum, sed dignus fratribus tuis effectus particeps, suscipe mortem, ut in illa miseratione cum fratribus tuis te recipiam. + +** II Maccabees 7:30 + +Cum hæc illa adhuc diceret, ait adolescens : Quem sustinetis ? non obedio præcepto regis, sed præcepto legis, quæ data est nobis per Moysen. + +** II Maccabees 7:31 + +Tu vero, qui inventor omnis malitiæ factus es in Hebræos, non effugies manum Dei. + +** II Maccabees 7:32 + +Nos enim pro peccatis nostris hæc patimur. + +** II Maccabees 7:33 + +Et si nobis propter increpationem et correptionem Dominus Deus noster modicum iratus est : sed iterum reconciliabitur servis suis. + +** II Maccabees 7:34 + +Tu autem, o sceleste, et omnium hominum flagitiosissime, noli frustra extolli vanis spebus in servos ejus inflammatus : + +** II Maccabees 7:35 + +nondum enim omnipotentis Dei, et omnia inspicientis, judicium effugisti. + +** II Maccabees 7:36 + +Nam fratres mei, modico nunc dolore sustentato, sub testamento æternæ vitæ effecti sunt : tu vero judicio Dei justas superbiæ tuæ pœnas exsolves. + +** II Maccabees 7:37 + +Ego autem, sicut fratres mei, animam et corpus meum trado pro patriis legibus, invocans Deum maturius genti nostræ propitium fieri, teque cum tormentis et verberibus confiteri quod ipse est Deus solus. + +** II Maccabees 7:38 + +In me vero et in fratribus meis desinet Omnipotentis ira, quæ super omne genus nostrum juste superducta est. + +** II Maccabees 7:39 + +Tunc rex accensus ira in hunc, super omnes crudelius desævit, indigne ferens se derisum. + +** II Maccabees 7:40 + +Et hic itaque mundus obiit, per omnia in Domino confidens. + +** II Maccabees 7:41 + +Novissime autem post filios, et mater consumpta est. + +** II Maccabees 7:42 + +Igitur de sacrificiis et de nimiis crudelitatibus satis dictum est. + +* II Maccabees 8 + +** II Maccabees 8:1 + +Judas vero Machabæus, et qui cum illo erant, introibant latenter in castella : et convocantes cognatos et amicos, et eos qui permanserunt in Judaismo assumentes, eduxerunt ad se sex millia virorum. + +** II Maccabees 8:2 + +Et invocabant Dominum, ut respiceret in populum qui ab omnibus calcabatur, et misereretur templo quod contaminabatur ab impiis : + +** II Maccabees 8:3 + +misereretur etiam exterminio civitatis, quæ esset illico complananda, et vocem sanguinis ad se clamantis audiret : + +** II Maccabees 8:4 + +memoraretur quoque iniquissimas mortes parvulorum innocentum, et blasphemias nomini suo illatas, et indignaretur super his. + +** II Maccabees 8:5 + +At Machabæus, congregata multitudine, intolerabilis gentibus efficiebatur : ira enim Domini in misericordiam conversa est. + +** II Maccabees 8:6 + +Et superveniens castellis et civitatibus improvisus, succendebat eas : et opportuna loca occupans, non paucas hostium strages dabat : + +** II Maccabees 8:7 + +maxime autem noctibus ad hujuscemodi excursus ferebatur, et fama virtutis ejus ubique diffundebatur. + +** II Maccabees 8:8 + +Videns autem Philippus paulatim virum ad profectum venire, ac frequentius res ei cedere propere, ad Ptolemæum ducem Cœlesyriæ et Phœnicis scripsit ut auxilium ferret regis negotiis. + +** II Maccabees 8:9 + +At ille velociter misit Nicanorem Patrocli de primoribus amicum, datis ei de permistis gentibus, armatis non minus viginti millibus, ut universum Judæorum genus deleret, adjuncto ei Gorgia viro militari, et in bellicis rebus experientissimo. + +** II Maccabees 8:10 + +Constituit autem Nicanor, ut regi tributum, quod Romanis erat dandum, duo millia talentorum de captivitate Judæorum suppleret : + +** II Maccabees 8:11 + +statimque ad maritimas civitates misit, convocans ad coëmptionem Judaicorum mancipiorum, promittens se nonaginta mancipia talento distracturum, non respiciens ad vindictam quæ eum ab Omnipotente esset consecutura. + +** II Maccabees 8:12 + +Judas autem ubi comperit, indicavit his qui secum erant Judæis Nicanoris adventum. + +** II Maccabees 8:13 + +Ex quibus quidam formidantes, et non credentes Dei justitiæ, in fugam vertebantur : + +** II Maccabees 8:14 + +alii vero si quid eis supererat vendebant, simulque Dominum deprecabantur ut eriperet eos ab impio Nicanore, qui eos priusquam cominus veniret, vendiderat : + +** II Maccabees 8:15 + +etsi non propter eos, propter testamentum tamen quod erat ad patres eorum, et propter invocationem sancti et magnifici nominis ejus super ipsos. + +** II Maccabees 8:16 + +Convocatis autem Machabæus septem millibus qui cum ipso erant, rogabat ne hostibus reconciliarentur, neque metuerent inique venientium adversum se hostium multitudinem : sed fortiter contenderent, + +** II Maccabees 8:17 + +ante oculos habentes contumeliam quæ loco sancto ab his injuste esset illata, itemque et ludibrio habitæ civitatis injuriam, adhuc etiam veterum instituta convulsa. + +** II Maccabees 8:18 + +Nam illi quidem armis confidunt, ait, simul et audacia : nos autem in omnipotente Domino, qui potest et venientes adversum nos, et universum mundum, uno nutu delere, confidimus. + +** II Maccabees 8:19 + +Admonuit autem eos et de auxiliis Dei, quæ facta sunt erga parentes : et quod sub Sennacherib centum octoginta quinque millia perierunt : + +** II Maccabees 8:20 + +et de prælio quod eis adversus Galatas fuit in Babylonia, ut omnes, ubi ad rem ventum est, Macedonibus sociis hæsitantibus, ipsi sex millia soli peremerunt centum viginti millia, propter auxilium illis datum de cælo, et beneficia pro his plurima consecuti sunt. + +** II Maccabees 8:21 + +His verbis constantes effecti sunt, et pro legibus et patria mori parati. + +** II Maccabees 8:22 + +Constituit itaque fratres suos duces utrique ordini, Simonem, et Josephum, et Jonathan, subjectis unicuique millenis et quingentenis. + +** II Maccabees 8:23 + +Ad hoc etiam ab Esdra lecto illis sancto libro, et dato signo adjutorii Dei, in prima acie ipse dux commisit cum Nicanore. + +** II Maccabees 8:24 + +Et facto sibi adjutore Omnipotente, interfecerunt super novem millia hominum : majorem autem partem exercitus Nicanoris vulneribus debilem factam fugere compulerunt. + +** II Maccabees 8:25 + +Pecuniis vero eorum, qui ad emptionem ipsorum venerant, sublatis, ipsos usquequaque persecuti sunt : + +** II Maccabees 8:26 + +sed reversi sunt hora conclusi, nam erat ante sabbatum : quam ob causam non perseveraverunt insequentes. + +** II Maccabees 8:27 + +Arma autem ipsorum, et spolia congregantes, sabbatum agebant, benedicentes Dominum, qui liberavit eos in isto die, misericordiæ initium stillans in eos. + +** II Maccabees 8:28 + +Post sabbatum vero debilibus, et orphanis, et viduis diviserunt spolia : et residua ipsi cum suis habuere. + +** II Maccabees 8:29 + +His itaque gestis, et communiter ab omnibus facta obsecratione, misericordem Dominum postulabant ut in finem servis suis reconciliaretur. + +** II Maccabees 8:30 + +Et ex his qui cum Timotheo et Bacchide erant contra se contendentes, super viginti millia interfecerunt, et munitiones excelsas obtinuerunt : et plures prædas diviserunt, æquam portionem debilibus, pupillis, et viduis, sed et senioribus facientes. + +** II Maccabees 8:31 + +Et cum arma eorum diligenter collegissent, omnia composuerunt in locis opportunis : residua vero spolia Jerosolymam detulerunt : + +** II Maccabees 8:32 + +et Philarchen, qui cum Timotheo erat, interfecerunt, virum scelestum, qui in multis Judæos afflixerat. + +** II Maccabees 8:33 + +Et cum epinicia agerent Jerosolymis, eum qui sacras januas incenderat, id est, Callisthenem, cum in quoddam domicilium refugisset, incenderunt, digna ei mercede pro impietatibus suis reddita. + +** II Maccabees 8:34 + +Facinorosissimus autem Nicanor, qui mille negotiantes ad Judæorum venditionem adduxerat, + +** II Maccabees 8:35 + +humiliatus auxilio Domini ab his quos nullos existimaverat, deposita veste gloriæ, per mediterranea fugiens, solus venit Antiochiam, summam infelicitatem de interitu sui exercitus consecutus. + +** II Maccabees 8:36 + +Et qui promiserat Romanis se tributum restituere de captivitate Jerosolymorum, prædicabat nunc protectorem Deum habere Judæos, et ob ipsum invulnerabiles esse, eo quod sequerentur leges ab ipso constitutas. + +* II Maccabees 9 + +** II Maccabees 9:1 + +Eodem tempore, Antiochus inhoneste revertebatur de Perside. + +** II Maccabees 9:2 + +Intraverat enim in eam quæ dicitur Persepolis, et tentavit expoliare templum, et civitatem opprimere : sed multitudine ad arma concurrente, in fugam versi sunt : et ita contigit ut Antiochus post fugam turpiter rediret. + +** II Maccabees 9:3 + +Et cum venisset circa Ecbatanam, recognovit quæ erga Nicanorem et Timotheum gesta sunt. + +** II Maccabees 9:4 + +Elatus autem in ira, arbitrabatur se injuriam illorum qui se fugaverant posse in Judæos retorquere : ideoque jussit agitari currum suum sine intermissione agens iter, cælesti eum judicio perurgente, eo quod ita superbe locutus est se venturum Jerosolymam, et congeriem sepulchri Judæorum eam facturum. + +** II Maccabees 9:5 + +Sed qui universa conspicit Dominus Deus Israël, percussit eum insanabili et invisibili plaga. Ut enim finivit hunc ipsum sermonem, apprehendit eum dolor dirus viscerum, et amara internorum tormenta : + +** II Maccabees 9:6 + +et quidem satis juste, quippe qui multis et novis cruciatibus aliorum torserat viscera, licet ille nullo modo a sua malitia cessaret. + +** II Maccabees 9:7 + +Super hoc autem superbia repletus, ignem spirans animo in Judæos, et præcipiens accelerari negotium, contigit illum impetu euntem de curru cadere, et gravi corporis collisione membra vexari. + +** II Maccabees 9:8 + +Isque qui sibi videbatur etiam fluctibus maris imperare, supra humanum modum superbia repletus, et montium altitudines in statera appendere, nunc humiliatus ad terram in gestatorio portabatur, manifestam Dei virtutem in semetipso contestans : + +** II Maccabees 9:9 + +ita ut de corpore impii vermes scaturirent, ac viventis in doloribus carnes ejus effluerent, odore etiam illius et fœtore exercitus gravaretur : + +** II Maccabees 9:10 + +et qui paulo ante sidera cæli contingere se arbitrabatur, eum nemo poterat propter intolerantiam fœtoris portare. + +** II Maccabees 9:11 + +Hinc igitur cœpit ex gravi superbia deductus ad agnitionem sui venire, divina admonitus plaga, per momenta singula doloribus suis augmenta capientibus. + +** II Maccabees 9:12 + +Et cum nec ipse jam fœtorem suum ferre posset, ita ait : Justum est subditum esse Deo, et mortalem non paria Deo sentire. + +** II Maccabees 9:13 + +Orabat autem hic scelestus Dominum, a quo non esset misericordiam consecuturus. + +** II Maccabees 9:14 + +Et civitatem, ad quam festinans veniebat ut eam ad solum deduceret ac sepulchrum congestorum faceret, nunc optat liberam reddere : + +** II Maccabees 9:15 + +et Judæos, quos nec sepultura quidem se dignos habiturum, sed avibus ac feris diripiendos traditurum, et cum parvulis exterminaturum dixerat, æquales nunc Atheniensibus facturum pollicetur : + +** II Maccabees 9:16 + +templum etiam sanctum, quod prius expoliaverat, optimis donis ornaturum, et sancta vasa multiplicaturum, et pertinentes ad sacrificia sumptus de redditibus suis præstaturum : + +** II Maccabees 9:17 + +super hæc, et Judæum se futurum, et omnem locum terræ perambulaturum, et prædicaturum Dei potestatem. + +** II Maccabees 9:18 + +Sed non cessantibus doloribus (supervenerat enim in eum justum Dei judicium), desperans scripsit ad Judæos in modum deprecationis epistolam hæc continentem : + +** II Maccabees 9:19 + +Optimis civibus Judæis plurimam salutem, et bene valere, et esse felices, rex et principes Antiochus. + +** II Maccabees 9:20 + +Si bene valetis, et filii vestri, et ex sententia vobis cuncta sunt, maximas agimus gratias. + +** II Maccabees 9:21 + +Et ego in infirmitate constitutus, vestri autem memor benigne reversus de Persidis locis, et infirmitate gravi apprehensus, necessarium duxi pro communi utilitate curam habere : + +** II Maccabees 9:22 + +non desperans memetipsum, sed spem multam habens effugiendi infirmitatem. + +** II Maccabees 9:23 + +Respiciens autem quod et pater meus, quibus temporibus in locis superioribus ducebat exercitum, ostendit qui post se susciperet principatum : + +** II Maccabees 9:24 + +ut si quid contrarium accideret, aut difficile nuntiaretur, scientes hi qui in regionibus erant, cui esset rerum summa derelicta, non turbarentur. + +** II Maccabees 9:25 + +Ad hæc, considerans de proximo potentes quosque et vicinos temporibus insidiantes, et eventum exspectantes, designavi filium meum Antiochum regem, quem sæpe recurrens in superiora regna multis vestrum commendabam : et scripsi ad eum quæ subjecta sunt. + +** II Maccabees 9:26 + +Ora itaque vos, et peto memores beneficiorum publice et privatim, ut unusquisque conservet fidem ad me et ad filium meum. + +** II Maccabees 9:27 + +Confido enim eum modeste et humane acturum, et sequentem propositum meum, et communem vobis fore. + +** II Maccabees 9:28 + +Igitur homicida et blasphemus pessime percussus, et ut ipse alios tractaverat, peregre in montibus miserabili obitu vita functus est. + +** II Maccabees 9:29 + +Transferebat autem corpus Philippus collactaneus ejus : qui, metuens filium Antiochi, ad Ptolemæum Philometorem in Ægyptum abiit. + +* II Maccabees 10 + +** II Maccabees 10:1 + +Machabæus autem, et qui cum eo erant, Domino se protegente, templum quidem et civitatem recepit : + +** II Maccabees 10:2 + +aras autem quas alienigenæ per plateas exstruxerant, itemque delubra demolitus est : + +** II Maccabees 10:3 + +et purgato templo, aliud altare fecerunt, et de ignitis lapidibus igne concepto sacrificia obtulerunt post biennium, et incensum, et lucernas, et panes propositionis posuerunt. + +** II Maccabees 10:4 + +Quibus gestis, rogabant Dominum prostrati in terram, ne amplius talibus malis inciderent : sed et, siquando peccassent, ut ab ipso mitius corriperentur, et non barbaris ac blasphemis hominibus traderentur. + +** II Maccabees 10:5 + +Qua die autem templum ab alienigenis pollutum fuerat, contigit eadem die purificationem fieri, vigesima quinta mensis qui fuit Casleu. + +** II Maccabees 10:6 + +Et cum lætitia diebus octo egerunt in modum tabernaculorum, recordantes quod ante modicum temporis diem solemnem tabernaculorum in montibus et in speluncis more bestiarum egerant. + +** II Maccabees 10:7 + +Propter quod thyrsos, et ramos virides, et palmas præferebant ei qui prosperavit mundari locum suum. + +** II Maccabees 10:8 + +Et decreverunt communi præcepto et decreto universæ genti Judæorum omnibus annis agere dies istos. + +** II Maccabees 10:9 + +Et Antiochi quidem, qui appellatus est Nobilis, vitæ excessus ita se habuit. + +** II Maccabees 10:10 + +Nunc autem de Eupatore Antiochi impii filio quæ gesta sunt narrabimus, breviantes mala quæ in bellis gesta sunt. + +** II Maccabees 10:11 + +Hic enim suscepto regno, constituit super negotia regni Lysiam quemdam, Phœnicis et Syriæ militiæ principem. + +** II Maccabees 10:12 + +Nam Ptolemæus, qui dicebatur Macer, justi tenax erga Judæos esse constituit, et præcipue propter iniquitatem quæ facta erat in eos, et pacifice agere cum eis. + +** II Maccabees 10:13 + +Sed ob hoc accusatus ab amicis apud Eupatorem, cum frequenter proditor audiret, eo quod Cyprum creditam sibi a Philometore deseruisset, et ad Antiochum Nobilem translatus etiam ab eo recessisset, veneno vitam finivit. + +** II Maccabees 10:14 + +Gorgias autem cum esset dux locorum, assumptis advenis, frequenter Judæos debellabat. + +** II Maccabees 10:15 + +Judæi vero qui tenebant opportunas munitiones, fugatos ab Jerosolymis suscipiebant, et bellare tentabant. + +** II Maccabees 10:16 + +Hi vero qui erant cum Machabæo, per orationes Dominum rogantes ut esset sibi adjutor, impetum fecerunt in munitiones Idumæorum : + +** II Maccabees 10:17 + +multaque vi insistentes, loca obtinuerunt, occurrentes interemerunt, et omnes simul non minus viginti millibus trucidaverunt. + +** II Maccabees 10:18 + +Quidam autem cum confugissent in duas turres valde munitas, omnem apparatum ad repugnandum habentes, + +** II Maccabees 10:19 + +Machabæus ad eorum expugnationem relicto Simone, et Josepho, itemque Zachæo, eisque qui cum ipsis erant satis multis, ipse ad eas quæ amplius perurgebant pugnas conversus est. + +** II Maccabees 10:20 + +Hi vero qui cum Simone erant, cupiditate ducti, a quibusdam qui in turribus erant, suasi sunt pecunia : et septuaginta millibus didrachmis acceptis, dimiserunt quosdam effugere. + +** II Maccabees 10:21 + +Cum autem Machabæo nuntiatum esset quod factum est, principibus populi congregatis accusavit quod pecunia fratres vendidissent, adversariis eorum dimissis. + +** II Maccabees 10:22 + +Hos igitur proditores factos interfecit, et confestim duas turres occupavit. + +** II Maccabees 10:23 + +Armis autem ac manibus omnia prospere agendo in duabus munitionibus plus quam viginti millia peremit. + +** II Maccabees 10:24 + +At Timotheus, qui prius a Judæis fuerat superatus, convocato exercitu peregrinæ multitudinis, et congregato equitatu Asiano, advenit quasi armis Judæam capturus. + +** II Maccabees 10:25 + +Machabæus autem et qui cum ipso erant, appropinquante illo, deprecabantur Dominum, caput terra aspergentes, lumbosque ciliciis præcincti, + +** II Maccabees 10:26 + +ad altaris crepidinem provoluti, ut sibi propitius, inimicis autem eorum esset inimicus, et adversariis adversaretur, sicut lex dicit. + +** II Maccabees 10:27 + +Et ita post orationem, sumptis armis, longius de civitate procedentes, et proximi hostibus effecti, resederunt. + +** II Maccabees 10:28 + +Primo autem solis ortu utrique commiserunt : isti quidem victoriæ et prosperitatis sponsorem cum virtute Dominum habentes : illi autem ducem belli animum habebant. + +** II Maccabees 10:29 + +Sed cum vehemens pugna esset, apparuerunt adversariis de cælo viri quinque in equis, frenis aureis decori, ducatum Judæis præstantes : + +** II Maccabees 10:30 + +ex quibus duo Machabæum medium habentes, armis suis circumseptum incolumem conservabant : in adversarios autem tela et fulmina jaciebant, ex quo et cæcitate confusi et repleti perturbatione, cadebant. + +** II Maccabees 10:31 + +Interfecti sunt autem viginti millia quingenti, et equites sexcenti. + +** II Maccabees 10:32 + +Timotheus vero confugit in Gazaram præsidium munitum, cui præerat Chæreas. + +** II Maccabees 10:33 + +Machabæus autem et qui cum eo erant, lætantes obsederunt præsidium diebus quatuor. + +** II Maccabees 10:34 + +At hi qui intus erant, loci firmitate confisi, supra modum maledicebant, et sermones nefandos jactabant. + +** II Maccabees 10:35 + +Sed cum dies quinta illucesceret, viginti juvenes ex his qui cum Machabæo erant, accensi animis propter blasphemiam, viriliter accesserunt ad murum, et feroci animo incedentes ascendebant : + +** II Maccabees 10:36 + +sed et alii similiter ascendentes, turres portasque succendere aggressi sunt, atque ipsos maledicos vivos concremare. + +** II Maccabees 10:37 + +Per continuum autem biduum præsidio vastato, Timotheum occultantem se in quodam repertum loco peremerunt : et fratrem illius Chæream et Apollophanem occiderunt. + +** II Maccabees 10:38 + +Quibus gestis, in hymnis et confessionibus benedicebant Dominum, qui magna fecit in Israël, et victoriam dedit illis. + +* II Maccabees 11 + +** II Maccabees 11:1 + +Sed parvo post tempore, Lysias procurator regis et propinquus, ac negotiorum præpositus, graviter ferens de his quæ acciderant, + +** II Maccabees 11:2 + +congregatis octoginta millibus, et equitatu universo, veniebat adversus Judæos, existimans se civitatem quidem captam gentibus habitaculum facturum, + +** II Maccabees 11:3 + +templum vero in pecuniæ quæstum, sicut cetera delubra gentium, habiturum, et per singulos annos venale sacerdotium : + +** II Maccabees 11:4 + +nusquam recogitans Dei potestatem, sed mente effrenatus in multitudine peditum, et in millibus equitum, et in octoginta elephantis confidebat. + +** II Maccabees 11:5 + +Ingressus autem Judæam, et appropians Bethsuræ, quæ erat in angusto loco, ab Jerosolyma intervallo quinque stadiorum, illud præsidium expugnabat. + +** II Maccabees 11:6 + +Ut autem Machabæus et qui cum eo erant cognoverunt expugnari præsidia, cum fletu et lacrimis rogabant Dominum, et omnis turba simul, ut bonum angelum mitteret ad salutem Israël. + +** II Maccabees 11:7 + +Et ipse primus Machabæus, sumptis armis, ceteros adhortatus est simul secum periculum subire, et ferre auxilium fratribus suis. + +** II Maccabees 11:8 + +Cumque pariter prompto animo procederent, Jerosolymis apparuit præcedens eos eques in veste candida, armis aureis hastam vibrans. + +** II Maccabees 11:9 + +Tunc omnes simul benedixerunt misericordem Dominum, et convaluerunt animis : non solum homines, sed et bestias ferocissimas, et muros ferreos parati penetrare. + +** II Maccabees 11:10 + +Ibant igitur prompti, de cælo habentes adjutorem et miserantem super eos Dominum. + +** II Maccabees 11:11 + +Leonum autem more impetu irruentes in hostes, prostraverunt ex eis undecim millia peditum, et equitum mille sexcentos : + +** II Maccabees 11:12 + +universos autem in fugam verterunt, plures autem ex eis vulnerati nudi evaserunt. Sed et ipse Lysias turpiter fugiens evasit. + +** II Maccabees 11:13 + +Et quia non insensatus erat, secum ipse reputans factam erga se diminutionem, et intelligens invictos esse Hebræos, omnipotentis Dei auxilio innitentes, misit ad eos : + +** II Maccabees 11:14 + +promisitque se consensurum omnibus quæ justa sunt, et regem compulsurum amicum fieri. + +** II Maccabees 11:15 + +Annuit autem Machabæus precibus Lysiæ, in omnibus utilitati consulens : et quæcumque Machabæus scripsit Lysiæ de Judæis, ea rex concessit. + +** II Maccabees 11:16 + +Nam erant scriptæ Judæis epistolæ a Lysia quidem hunc modum continentes : Lysias populo Judæorum salutem. + +** II Maccabees 11:17 + +Joannes et Abesalom, qui missi fuerant a vobis, tradentes scripta, postulabant ut ea quæ per illos significabantur, implerem. + +** II Maccabees 11:18 + +Quæcumque igitur regi potuerunt perferri, exposui : et quæ res permittebat, concessit. + +** II Maccabees 11:19 + +Si igitur in negotiis fidem conservaveritis, et deinceps bonorum vobis causa esset, tentabo. + +** II Maccabees 11:20 + +De ceteris autem per singula verbo mandavi et istis, et his, qui a me missi sunt, colloqui vobiscum. + +** II Maccabees 11:21 + +Bene valete. Anno centesimo, quadragesimo octavo mensis Dioscori, die vigesima et quarta. + +** II Maccabees 11:22 + +Regis autem epistola ista continebat : Rex Antiochus Lysiæ fratri salutem. + +** II Maccabees 11:23 + +Patre nostro inter deos translato, nos volentes eos qui sunt in regno nostro sine tumultu agere, et rebus suis adhibere diligentiam, + +** II Maccabees 11:24 + +audivimus Judæos non consensisse patri meo ut transferrentur ad ritum Græcorum, sed tenere velle suum institutum, ac propterea postulare a nobis concedi sibi legitima sua. + +** II Maccabees 11:25 + +Volentes igitur hanc quoque gentem quietam esse, statuentes judicavimus templum restitui illis, ut agerent secundum suorum majorum consuetudinem. + +** II Maccabees 11:26 + +Bene igitur feceris, si miseris ad eos et dexteram dederis : ut cognita nostra voluntate, bono animo sint, et utilitatibus propriis deserviant. + +** II Maccabees 11:27 + +Ad Judæos vero regis epistola talis erat : Rex Antiochus senatui Judæorum, et ceteris Judæis salutem. + +** II Maccabees 11:28 + +Si valetis, sic estis ut volumus : sed et ipsi bene valemus. + +** II Maccabees 11:29 + +Adiit nos Menelaus, dicens velle vos descendere ad vestros, qui sunt apud nos. + +** II Maccabees 11:30 + +His igitur qui commeant usque ad diem trigesimum mensis Xanthici, damus dextras securitatis, + +** II Maccabees 11:31 + +ut Judæi utantur cibis et legibus suis, sicut et prius : et nemo eorum ullo modo molestiam patiatur de his quæ per ignorantiam gesta sunt. + +** II Maccabees 11:32 + +Misimus autem et Menelaum, qui vos alloquatur. + +** II Maccabees 11:33 + +Valete. Anno centesimo quadragesimo octavo, Xanthici mensis quintadecima die. + +** II Maccabees 11:34 + +Miserunt autem etiam Romani epistolam, ita se habentem : Quintus Memmius et Titus Manilius legati Romanorum, populo Judæorum salutem. + +** II Maccabees 11:35 + +De his quæ Lysias cognatus regis concessit vobis, et nos concessimus. + +** II Maccabees 11:36 + +De quibus autem ad regem judicavit referendum, confestim aliquem mittere, diligentius inter vos conferentes, ut decernamus, sicut congruit vobis : nos enim Antiochiam accedimus. + +** II Maccabees 11:37 + +Ideoque festinate rescribere, ut nos quoque sciamus cujus estis voluntatis. + +** II Maccabees 11:38 + +Bene valete. Anno centesimo quadragesimo octavo, quintadecima die mensis Xanthici. + +* II Maccabees 12 + +** II Maccabees 12:1 + +His factis pactionibus, Lysias pergebat ad regem, Judæi autem agriculturæ operam dabant. + +** II Maccabees 12:2 + +Sed hi qui resederant, Timotheus, et Apollonius Gennæi filius, sed et Hieronymus, et Demophon super hos, et Nicanor Cypriarches, non sinebant eos in silentio agere et quiete. + +** II Maccabees 12:3 + +Joppitæ vero tale quoddam flagitium perpetrarunt : rogaverunt Judæos cum quibus habitabant, ascendere scaphas quas paraverant, cum uxoribus et filiis, quasi nullis inimicitiis inter eos subjacentibus. + +** II Maccabees 12:4 + +Secundum commune itaque decretum civitatis, et ipsis acquiescentibus, pacisque causa nihil suspectum habentibus : cum in altum processissent, submerserunt non minus ducentos. + +** II Maccabees 12:5 + +Quam crudelitatem Judas in suæ gentis homines factam ut cognovit, præcepit viris qui erant cum ipso : et invocato justo judice Deo, + +** II Maccabees 12:6 + +venit adversus interfectores fratrum, et portum quidem noctu succendit, scaphas exussit, eos autem qui ab igne refugerant, gladio peremit. + +** II Maccabees 12:7 + +Et cum hæc ita egisset, discessit quasi iterum reversurus, et universos Joppitas eradicaturus. + +** II Maccabees 12:8 + +Sed cum cognovisset et eos qui erant Jamniæ, velle pari modo facere habitantibus secum Judæis, + +** II Maccabees 12:9 + +Jamnitis quoque nocte supervenit, et portum cum navibus succendit : ita ut lumen ignis appareret Jerosolymis a stadiis ducentis quadraginta. + +** II Maccabees 12:10 + +Inde cum jam abiissent novem stadiis, et iter facerent ad Timotheum, commiserunt cum eo Arabes quinque millia viri, et equites quingenti. + +** II Maccabees 12:11 + +Cumque pugna valida fieret, et auxilio Dei prospere cessisset, residui Arabes victi petebant a Juda dextram sibi dari, promittentes se pascua daturos, et in ceteris profuturos. + +** II Maccabees 12:12 + +Judas autem arbitratus vere in multis eos utiles, promisit pacem : dextrisque acceptis, discessere ad tabernacula sua. + +** II Maccabees 12:13 + +Aggressus est autem et civitatem quamdam firmam pontibus murisque circumseptam, quæ a turbis habitabatur gentium promiscuarum : cui nomen Casphin. + +** II Maccabees 12:14 + +Hi vero qui intus erant, confidentes in stabilitate murorum et apparatu alimoniarum, remissius agebant, maledictis lacessentes Judam et blasphemantes, ac loquentes quæ fas non est. + +** II Maccabees 12:15 + +Machabæus autem, invocato magno mundi Principe, qui sine arietibus et machinis temporibus Jesu præcipitavit Jericho, irruit ferociter muris : + +** II Maccabees 12:16 + +et capta civitate per Domini voluntatem, innumerabiles cædes fecit, ita ut adjacens stagnum stadiorum duorum latitudinis sanguine interfectorum fluere videretur. + +** II Maccabees 12:17 + +Inde discesserunt stadia septingenta quinquaginta, et venerunt in Characa ad eos, qui dicuntur Tubianæi, Judæos : + +** II Maccabees 12:18 + +et Timotheum quidem in illis locis non comprehenderunt, nulloque negotio perfecto regressus est, relicto in quodam loco firmissimo præsidio. + +** II Maccabees 12:19 + +Dositheus autem et Sosipater, qui erant duces cum Machabæo, peremerunt a Timotheo relictos in præsidio, decem millia viros. + +** II Maccabees 12:20 + +At Machabæus, ordinatis circum se sex millibus, et constitutis per cohortes, adversus Timotheum processit, habentem secum centum viginti millia peditum, equitumque duo millia quingentos. + +** II Maccabees 12:21 + +Cognito autem Judæ adventu, Timotheus præmisit mulieres et filios, et reliquum apparatum, in præsidium quod Carnion dicitur : erat enim inexpugnabile, et accessu difficile propter locorum angustias. + +** II Maccabees 12:22 + +Cumque cohors Judæ prima apparuisset, timor hostibus incussus est ex præsentia Dei, qui universa conspicit : et in fugam versi sunt alius ab alio, ita ut magis a suis dejicerentur, et gladiorum suorum ictibus debilitarentur. + +** II Maccabees 12:23 + +Judas autem vehementer instabat puniens profanos, et prostravit ex eis triginta millia virorum. + +** II Maccabees 12:24 + +Ipse vero Timotheus incidit in partes Dosithei et Sosipatris : et multis precibus postulabat ut vivus dimitteretur, eo quod multorum ex Judæis parentes haberet ac fratres, quos morte ejus decipi eveniret. + +** II Maccabees 12:25 + +Et cum fidem dedisset restituturum se eos secundum constitutum, illæsum eum dimiserunt propter fratrum salutem. + +** II Maccabees 12:26 + +Judas autem egressus est ad Carnion, interfectis viginti quinque millibus. + +** II Maccabees 12:27 + +Post horum fugam et necem, movit exercitum ad Ephron civitatem munitam, in qua multitudo diversarum gentium habitabat : et robusti juvenes pro muris consistentes fortiter repugnabant : in hac autem machinæ multæ et telorum erat apparatus. + +** II Maccabees 12:28 + +Sed cum Omnipotentem invocassent, qui potestate sua vires hostium confringit, ceperunt civitatem : et ex eis qui intus erant, viginti quinque millia prostraverunt. + +** II Maccabees 12:29 + +Inde ad civitatem Scytharum abierunt, quæ ab Jerosolymis sexcentis stadiis aberat. + +** II Maccabees 12:30 + +Contestantibus autem his, qui apud Scythopolitas erant, Judæis, quod benigne ab eis haberentur, etiam temporibus infelicitatis quod modeste secum egerint : + +** II Maccabees 12:31 + +gratias agentes eis, et exhortati etiam de cetero erga genus suum benignos esse, venerunt Jerosolymam die solemni septimanarum instante. + +** II Maccabees 12:32 + +Et post Pentecosten abierunt contra Gorgiam præpositum Idumææ. + +** II Maccabees 12:33 + +Exivit autem cum peditibus tribus millibus, et equitibus quadringentis. + +** II Maccabees 12:34 + +Quibus congressis, contigit paucos ruere Judæorum. + +** II Maccabees 12:35 + +Dositheus vero quidam de Bacenoris eques, vir fortis, Gorgiam tenebat : et, cum vellet illum capere vivum, eques quidam de Thracibus irruit in eum, humerumque ejus amputavit : atque ita Gorgias effugit in Maresa. + +** II Maccabees 12:36 + +At illis qui cum Esdrim erant diutius pugnantibus et fatigatis, invocavit Judas Dominum adjutorem et ducem belli fieri : + +** II Maccabees 12:37 + +incipiens voce patria, et cum hymnis clamorem extollens, fugam Gorgiæ militibus incussit. + +** II Maccabees 12:38 + +Judas autem collecto exercitu venit in civitatem Odollam : et cum septima dies superveniret, secundum consuetudinem purificati, in eodem loco sabbatum egerunt. + +** II Maccabees 12:39 + +Et sequenti die venit cum suis Judas, ut corpora prostratorum tolleret, et cum parentibus poneret in sepulchris paternis. + +** II Maccabees 12:40 + +Invenerunt autem sub tunicis interfectorum de donariis idolorum quæ apud

Parantibus autem illis, cecidit super eum mentis excessus : + +** Acts 10:11 + +et vidit cælum apertum, et descendens vas quoddam, velut linteum magnum, quatuor initiis submitti de cælo in terram, + +** Acts 10:12 + +in quo erant omnia quadrupedia, et serpentia terræ, et volatilia cæli. + +** Acts 10:13 + +Et facta est vox ad eum : Surge, Petre : occide, et manduca. + +** Acts 10:14 + +Ait autem Petrus : Absit Domine, quia numquam manducavi omne commune et immundum. + +** Acts 10:15 + +Et vox iterum secundo ad eum : Quod Deus purificavit, tu commune ne dixeris. + +** Acts 10:16 + +Hoc autem factum est per ter : et statim receptum est vas in cælum. + +** Acts 10:17 + +Et dum intra se hæsitaret Petrus quidnam esset visio quam vidisset, ecce viri qui missi erant a Cornelio, inquirentes domum Simonis astiterunt ad januam. + +** Acts 10:18 + +Et cum vocassent, interrogabant, si Simon qui cognominatur Petrus illic haberet hospitium. + +** Acts 10:19 + +Petro autem cogitante de visione, dixit Spiritus ei : Ecce viri tres quærunt te. + +** Acts 10:20 + +Surge itaque, descende, et vade cum eis nihil dubitans : quia ego misi illos. + +** Acts 10:21 + +Descendens autem Petrus ad viros, dixit : Ecce ego sum, quem quæritis : quæ causa est, propter quam venistis ? + +** Acts 10:22 + +Qui dixerunt : Cornelius centurio, vir justus et timens Deum, et testimonium habens ab universa gente Judæorum, responsum accepit ab angelo sancto accersire te in domum suam, et audire verba abs te. + +** Acts 10:23 + +Introducens ergo eos, recepit hospitio. Sequenti autem die, surgens profectus est cum illis, et quidam ex fratribus ab Joppe comitati sunt eum. + +** Acts 10:24 + +Altera autem die introivit Cæsaream. Cornelius vero exspectabat illos, convocatis cognatis suis et necessariis amicis. + +** Acts 10:25 + +Et factum est cum introisset Petrus, obvius venit ei Cornelius, et procidens ad pedes ejus adoravit. + +** Acts 10:26 + +Petrus vero elevavit eum, dicens : Surge : et ego ipse homo sum. + +** Acts 10:27 + +Et loquens cum illo intravit, et invenit multos qui convenerant : + +** Acts 10:28 + +dixitque ad illos : Vos scitis quomodo abominatum sit viro Judæo conjungi aut accedere ad alienigenam : sed mihi ostendit Deus neminem communem aut immundum dicere hominem. + +** Acts 10:29 + +Propter quod sine dubitatione veni accersitus. Interrogo ergo, quam ob causam accersistis me ? + +** Acts 10:30 + +Et Cornelius ait : A nudiusquarta die usque ad hanc horam, orans eram hora nona in domo mea, et ecce vir stetit ante me in veste candida, et ait : + +** Acts 10:31 + +Corneli, exaudita est oratio tua, et eleemosynæ tuæ commemoratæ sunt in conspectu Dei. + +** Acts 10:32 + +Mitte ergo in Joppen, et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus : hic hospitatur in domo Simonis coriarii juxta mare. + +** Acts 10:33 + +Confestim ergo misi ad te : et tu benefecisti veniendo. Nunc ergo omnes nos in conspectu tuo adsumus audire omnia quæcumque tibi præcepta sunt a Domino. + +** Acts 10:34 + +Aperiens autem Petrus os suum, dixit : In veritate comperi quia non est personarum acceptor Deus ; + +** Acts 10:35 + +sed in omni gente qui timet eum, et operatur justitiam, acceptus est illi. + +** Acts 10:36 + +Verbum misit Deus filiis Israël, annuntians pacem per Jesum Christum (hic est omnium Dominus). + +** Acts 10:37 + +Vos scitis quod factum est verbum per universam Judæam : incipiens enim a Galilæa post baptismum quod prædicavit Joannes, + +** Acts 10:38 + +Jesum a Nazareth : quomodo unxit eum Deus Spiritu Sancto, et virtute, qui pertransiit benefaciendo, et sanando omnes oppressos a diabolo, quoniam Deus erat cum illo. + +** Acts 10:39 + +Et nos testes sumus omnium quæ fecit in regione Judæorum, et Jerusalem, quem occiderunt suspendentes in ligno. + +** Acts 10:40 + +Hunc Deus suscitavit tertia die, et dedit eum manifestum fieri, + +** Acts 10:41 + +non omni populo, sed testibus præordinatis a Deo : nobis, qui manducavimus et bibimus cum illo postquam resurrexit a mortuis. + +** Acts 10:42 + +Et præcepit nobis prædicare populo, et testificari, quia ipse est qui constitutus est a Deo judex vivorum et mortuorum. + +** Acts 10:43 + +Huic omnes prophetæ testimonium perhibent remissionem peccatorum accipere per nomen ejus omnes qui credunt in eum. + +** Acts 10:44 + +Adhuc loquente Petro verba hæc, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super omnes qui audiebant verbum. + +** Acts 10:45 + +Et obstupuerunt ex circumcisione fideles qui venerant cum Petro, quia et in nationes gratia Spiritus Sancti effusa est. + +** Acts 10:46 + +Audiebant enim illos loquentes linguis, et magnificantes Deum. + +** Acts 10:47 + +Tunc respondit Petrus : Numquid aquam quis prohibere potest ut non baptizentur hi qui Spiritum Sanctum acceperunt sicut et nos ? + +** Acts 10:48 + +Et jussit eos baptizari in nomine Domini Jesu Christi. Tunc rogaverunt eum ut maneret apud eos aliquot diebus. + +* Acts 11 + +** Acts 11:1 + +Audierunt autem Apostoli et fratres qui erant in Judæa, quoniam et gentes receperunt verbum Dei. + +** Acts 11:2 + +Cum autem ascendisset Petrus Jerosolymam, disceptabant adversus illum qui erant ex circumcisione, + +** Acts 11:3 + +dicentes : Quare introisti ad viros præputium habentes, et manducasti cum illis ? + +** Acts 11:4 + +Incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ordinem, dicens : + +** Acts 11:5 + +Ego eram in civitate Joppe orans, et vidi in excessu mentis visionem, descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quatuor initiis summitti de cælo, et venit usque ad me. + +** Acts 11:6 + +In quod intuens considerabam, et vidi quadrupedia terræ, et bestias, et reptilia, et volatilia cæli. + +** Acts 11:7 + +Audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi : Surge, Petre : occide, et manduca. + +** Acts 11:8 + +Dixi autem : Nequaquam Domine : quia commune aut immundum numquam introivit in os meum. + +** Acts 11:9 + +Respondit autem vox secundo de cælo : Quæ Deus mundavit, tu ne commune dixeris. + +** Acts 11:10 + +Hoc autem factum est per ter : et recepta sunt omnia rursum in cælum. + +** Acts 11:11 + +Et ecce viri tres confestim astiterunt in domo in qua eram, missi a Cæsarea ad me. + +** Acts 11:12 + +Dixit autem Spiritus mihi ut irem cum illis, nihil hæsitans. Venerunt autem mecum et sex fratres isti, et ingressi sumus in domum viri. + +** Acts 11:13 + +Narravit autem nobis quomodo vidisset angelum in domo sua, stantem et dicentem sibi : Mitte in Joppen, et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus, + +** Acts 11:14 + +qui loquetur tibi verba in quibus salvus eris tu, et universa domus tua. + +** Acts 11:15 + +Cum autem cœpissem loqui, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super eos, sicut et in nos in initio. + +** Acts 11:16 + +Recordatus sum autem verbi Domini, sicut dicebat : Joannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto. + +** Acts 11:17 + +Si ergo eamdem gratiam dedit illis Deus, sicut et nobis qui credidimus in Dominum Jesum Christum : ego quis eram, qui possem prohibere Deum ? + +** Acts 11:18 + +His auditis, tacuerunt : et glorificaverunt Deum, dicentes : Ergo et gentibus pœnitentiam dedit Deus ad vitam. + +** Acts 11:19 + +Et illi quidem qui dispersi fuerant a tribulatione quæ facta fuerat sub Stephano, perambulaverunt usque Phœnicen, et Cyprum, et Antiochiam, nemini loquentes verbum, nisi solis Judæis. + +** Acts 11:20 + +Erant autem quidam ex eis viri Cyprii et Cyrenæi, qui cum introissent Antiochiam, loquebantur et ad Græcos, annuntiantes Dominum Jesum. + +** Acts 11:21 + +Et erat manus Domini cum eis : multusque numerus credentium conversus est ad Dominum. + +** Acts 11:22 + +Pervenit autem sermo ad aures ecclesiæ quæ erat Jerosolymis super istis : et miserunt Barnabam usque ad Antiochiam. + +** Acts 11:23 + +Qui cum pervenisset, et vidisset gratiam Dei, gavisus est : et hortabatur omnes in proposito cordis permanere in Domino : + +** Acts 11:24 + +quia erat vir bonus, et plenus Spiritu Sancto, et fide. Et apposita est multa turba Domino. + +** Acts 11:25 + +Profectus est autem Barnabas Tarsum, ut quæreret Saulum : quem cum invenisset, perduxit Antiochiam. + +** Acts 11:26 + +Et annum totum conversati sunt ibi in ecclesia : et docuerunt turbam multam, ita ut cognominarentur primum Antiochiæ discipuli, christiani. + +** Acts 11:27 + +In his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Jerosolymis prophetæ Antiochiam : + +** Acts 11:28 + +et surgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus, significabat per spiritum famem magnam futuram in universo orbe terrarum, quæ facta est sub Claudio. + +** Acts 11:29 + +Discipuli autem, prout quis habebat, proposuerunt singuli in ministerium mittere habitantibus in Judæa fratribus : + +** Acts 11:30 + +quod et fecerunt, mittentes ad seniores per manus Barnabæ et Sauli. + +* Acts 12 + +** Acts 12:1 + +Eodem autem tempore misit Herodes rex manus, ut affligeret quosdam de ecclesia. + +** Acts 12:2 + +Occidit autem Jacobum fratrem Joannis gladio. + +** Acts 12:3 + +Videns autem quia placeret Judæis, apposuit ut apprehenderet et Petrum. Erant autem dies Azymorum. + +** Acts 12:4 + +Quem cum apprehendisset, misit in carcerem, tradens quatuor quaternionibus militum custodiendum, volens post Pascha producere eum populo. + +** Acts 12:5 + +Et Petrus quidem servabatur in carcere. Oratio autem fiebat sine intermissione ab ecclesia ad Deum pro eo. + +** Acts 12:6 + +Cum autem producturus eum esset Herodes, in ipsa nocte erat Petrus dormiens inter duos milites, vinctus catenis duabus : et custodes ante ostium custodiebant carcerem. + +** Acts 12:7 + +Et ecce angelus Domini astitit, et lumen refulsit in habitaculo : percussoque latere Petri, excitavit eum, dicens : Surge velociter. Et ceciderunt catenæ de manibus ejus. + +** Acts 12:8 + +Dixit autem angelus ad eum : Præcingere, et calcea te caligas tuas. Et fecit sic. Et dixit illi : Circumda tibi vestimentum tuum, et sequere me. + +** Acts 12:9 + +Et exiens sequebatur eum, et nesciebat quia verum est, quod fiebat per angelum : existimabat autem se visum videre. + +** Acts 12:10 + +Transeuntes autem primam et secundam custodiam, venerunt ad portam ferream, quæ ducit ad civitatem : quæ ultro aperta est eis. Et exeuntes processerunt vicum unum : et continuo discessit angelus ab eo. + +** Acts 12:11 + +Et Petrus ad se reversus, dixit : Nunc scio vere quia misit Dominus angelum suum, et eripuit me de manu Herodis, et de omni exspectatione plebis Judæorum. + +** Acts 12:12 + +Consideransque venit ad domum Mariæ matris Joannis, qui cognominatus est Marcus, ubi erant multi congregati, et orantes. + +** Acts 12:13 + +Pulsante autem eo ostium januæ, processit puella ad audiendum, nomine Rhode. + +** Acts 12:14 + +Et ut cognovit vocem Petri, præ gaudio non aperuit januam, sed intro currens nuntiavit stare Petrum ante januam. + +** Acts 12:15 + +At illi dixerunt ad eam : Insanis. Illa autem affirmabat sic se habere. Illi autem dicebant : Angelus ejus est. + +** Acts 12:16 + +Petrus autem perseverabat pulsans. Cum autem aperuissent, viderunt eum, et obstupuerunt. + +** Acts 12:17 + +Annuens autem eis manu ut tacerent, narravit quomodo Dominus eduxisset eum de carcere, dixitque : Nuntiate Jacobo et fratribus hæc. Et egressus abiit in alium locum. + +** Acts 12:18 + +Facta autem die, erat non parva turbatio inter milites, quidnam factum esset de Petro. + +** Acts 12:19 + +Herodes autem cum requisisset eum et non invenisset, inquisitione facta de custodibus, jussit eos duci : descendensque a Judæa in Cæsaream, ibi commoratus est. + +** Acts 12:20 + +Erat autem iratus Tyriis et Sidoniis. At illi unanimes venerunt ad eum, et persuaso Blasto, qui erat super cubiculum regis, postulabant pacem, eo quod alerentur regiones eorum ab illo. + +** Acts 12:21 + +Statuto autem die Herodes vestitus veste regia sedit pro tribunali, et concionabatur ad eos. + +** Acts 12:22 + +Populus autem acclamabat : Dei voces, et non hominis. + +** Acts 12:23 + +Confestim autem percussit eum angelus Domini, eo quod non dedisset honorem Deo : et consumptus a vermibus, expiravit. + +** Acts 12:24 + +Verbum autem Domini crescebat, et multiplicabatur. + +** Acts 12:25 + +Barnabas autem et Saulus reversi sunt ab Jerosolymis expleto ministerio assumpto Joanne, qui cognominatus est Marcus. + +* Acts 13 + +** Acts 13:1 + +Erant autem in ecclesia quæ erat Antiochiæ, prophetæ et doctores, in quibus Barnabas, et Simon qui vocabatur Niger, et Lucius Cyrenensis, et Manahen, qui erat Herodis Tetrarchæ collactaneus, et Saulus. + +** Acts 13:2 + +Ministrantibus autem illis Domino, et jejunantibus, dixit illis Spiritus Sanctus : Segregate mihi Saulum et Barnabam in opus ad quod assumpsi eos. + +** Acts 13:3 + +Tunc jejunantes et orantes, imponentesque eis manus, dimiserunt illos. + +** Acts 13:4 + +Et ipsi quidem missi a Spiritu Sancto abierunt Seleuciam : et inde navigaverunt Cyprum. + +** Acts 13:5 + +Et cum venissent Salaminam, prædicabant verbum Dei in synagogis Judæorum. Habebant autem et Joannem in ministerio. + +** Acts 13:6 + +Et cum perambulassent universam insulam usque Paphum, invenerunt quemdam virum magum pseudoprophetam, Judæum, cui nomen erat Barjesu, + +** Acts 13:7 + +qui erat cum proconsule Sergio Paulo viro prudente. Hic, accersitis Barnaba et Saulo, desiderabat audire verbum Dei. + +** Acts 13:8 + +Resistebat autem illis Elymas magus (sic enim interpretatur nomen ejus), quærens avertere proconsulem a fide. + +** Acts 13:9 + +Saulus autem, qui et Paulus, repletus Spiritu Sancto, intuens in eum, + +** Acts 13:10 + +dixit : O plene omni dolo et omni fallacia, fili diaboli, inimice omnis justitiæ, non desinis subvertere vias Domini rectas. + +** Acts 13:11 + +Et nunc ecce manus Domini super te, et eris cæcus, non videns solem usque ad tempus. Et confestim cecidit in eum caligo et tenebræ : et circuiens quærebat qui ei manum daret. + +** Acts 13:12 + +Tunc proconsul cum vidisset factum, credidit admirans super doctrina Domini. + +** Acts 13:13 + +Et cum a Papho navigassent Paulus et qui cum eo erant, venerunt Pergen Pamphyliæ. Joannes autem discedens ab eis, reversus est Jerosolymam. + +** Acts 13:14 + +Illi vero pertranseuntes Pergen, venerunt Antiochiam Pisidiæ : et ingressi synagogam die sabbatorum, sederunt. + +** Acts 13:15 + +Post lectionem autem legis et prophetarum, miserunt principes synagogæ ad eos, dicentes : Viri fratres, si quis est in vobis sermo exhortationis ad plebem, dicite. + +** Acts 13:16 + +Surgens autem Paulus, et manu silentium indicens, ait : Viri Israëlitæ, et qui timetis Deum, audite : + +** Acts 13:17 + +Deus plebis Israël elegit patres nostros, et plebem exaltavit cum essent incolæ in terra Ægypti, et in brachio excelso eduxit eos ex ea, + +** Acts 13:18 + +et per quadraginta annorum tempus mores eorum sustinuit in deserto. + +** Acts 13:19 + +Et destruens gentes septem in terra Chanaan, sorte distribuit eis terram eorum, + +** Acts 13:20 + +quasi post quadringentos et quinquaginta annos : et post hæc dedit judices, usque ad Samuel prophetam. + +** Acts 13:21 + +Et exinde postulaverunt regem : et dedit illis Deus Saul filium Cis, virum de tribu Benjamin, annis quadraginta : + +** Acts 13:22 + +et amoto illo, suscitavit illis David regem : cui testimonium perhibens, dixit : Inveni David filium Jesse, virum secundum cor meum, qui faciet omnes voluntates meas. + +** Acts 13:23 + +Hujus Deus ex semine secundum promissionem eduxit Israël salvatorem Jesum, + +** Acts 13:24 + +prædicante Joanne ante faciem adventus ejus baptismum pœnitentiæ omni populo Israël. + +** Acts 13:25 + +Cum impleret autem Joannes cursum suum, dicebat : Quem me arbitramini esse, non sum ego : sed ecce venit post me, cujus non sum dignus calceamenta pedum solvere. + +** Acts 13:26 + +Viri fratres, filii generis Abraham, et qui in vobis timent Deum, vobis verbum salutis hujus missum est. + +** Acts 13:27 + +Qui enim habitabant Jerusalem, et principes ejus hunc ignorantes, et voces prophetarum quæ per omne sabbatum leguntur, judicantes impleverunt, + +** Acts 13:28 + +et nullam causam mortis invenientes in eo, petierunt a Pilato ut interficerent eum. + +** Acts 13:29 + +Cumque consummassent omnia quæ de eo scripta erant, deponentes eum de ligno, posuerunt eum in monumento. + +** Acts 13:30 + +Deus vero suscitavit eum a mortuis tertia die : qui visus est per dies multos his + +** Acts 13:31 + +qui simul ascenderant cum eo de Galilæa in Jerusalem : qui usque nunc sunt testes ejus ad plebem. + +** Acts 13:32 + +Et nos vobis annuntiamus eam, quæ ad patres nostros repromissio facta est : + +** Acts 13:33 + +quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis nostris resuscitans Jesum, sicut et in psalmo secundo scriptum est : Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te. + +** Acts 13:34 + +Quod autem suscitavit eum a mortuis, amplius jam non reversurum in corruptionem, ita dixit : Quia dabo vobis sancta David fidelia. + +** Acts 13:35 + +Ideoque et alias dicit : Non dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. + +** Acts 13:36 + +David enim in sua generatione cum administrasset, voluntati Dei dormivit : et appositus est ad patres suos, et vidit corruptionem. + +** Acts 13:37 + +Quem vero Deus suscitavit a mortuis, non vidit corruptionem. + +** Acts 13:38 + +Notum igitur sit vobis, viri fratres, quia per hunc vobis remissio peccatorum annuntiatur, et ab omnibus quibus non potuistis in lege Moysi justificari, + +** Acts 13:39 + +in hoc omnis qui credit, justificatur. + +** Acts 13:40 + +Videte ergo ne superveniat vobis quod dictum est in prophetis : + +** Acts 13:41 + +Videte contemptores, et admiramini, et disperdimini : quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris, opus quod non credetis, si quis enarraverit vobis. + +** Acts 13:42 + +Exeuntibus autem illis rogabant ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verba hæc. + +** Acts 13:43 + +Cumque dimissa esset synagoga, secuti sunt multi Judæorum, et colentium advenarum, Paulum et Barnabam : qui loquentes suadebant eis ut permanerent in gratia Dei. + +** Acts 13:44 + +Sequenti vero sabbato pene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Dei. + +** Acts 13:45 + +Videntes autem turbas Judæi, repleti sunt zelo, et contradicebant his quæ a Paulo dicebantur, blasphemantes. + +** Acts 13:46 + +Tunc constanter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt : Vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei : sed quoniam repellitis illud, et indignos vos judicatis æternæ vitæ, ecce convertimur ad gentes. + +** Acts 13:47 + +Sic enim præcepit nobis Dominus : Posui te in lucem gentium, ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terræ. + +** Acts 13:48 + +Audientes autem gentes, gavisæ sunt, et glorificabant verbum Domini : et crediderunt quotquot erant præordinati ad vitam æternam. + +** Acts 13:49 + +Disseminabatur autem verbum Domini per universam regionem. + +** Acts 13:50 + +Judæi autem concitaverunt mulieres religiosas et honestas, et primos civitatis, et excitaverunt persecutionem in Paulum et Barnabam : et ejecerunt eos de finibus suis. + +** Acts 13:51 + +At illi excusso pulvere pedum in eos, venerunt Iconium. + +** Acts 13:52 + +Discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio, et Spiritu Sancto. + +* Acts 14 + +** Acts 14:1 + +Factum est autem Iconii, ut simul introirent in synagogam Judæorum, et loquerentur, ita ut crederet Judæorum et Græcorum copiosa multitudo. + +** Acts 14:2 + +Qui vero increduli fuerunt Judæi, suscitaverunt et ad iracundiam concitaverunt animas gentium adversus fratres. + +** Acts 14:3 + +Multo igitur tempore demorati sunt, fiducialiter agentes in Domino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiæ suæ, dante signa et prodigia fieri per manus eorum. + +** Acts 14:4 + +Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis : et quidam quidem erant cum Judæis, quidam vero cum Apostolis. + +** Acts 14:5 + +Cum autem factus esset impetus gentilium et Judæorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent, et lapidarent eos, + +** Acts 14:6 + +intelligentes confugerunt ad civitates Lycaoniæ Lystram et Derben, et universam in circuitu regionem, et ibi evangelizantes erant. + +** Acts 14:7 + +Et quidam vir Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suæ, qui numquam ambulaverat. + +** Acts 14:8 + +Hic audivit Paulum loquentem.

De qua spe accusor a Judæis, rex. + +** Acts 26:8 + +Quid incredibile judicatur apud vos, si Deus mortuos suscitat ? + +** Acts 26:9 + +Et ego quidem existimaveram me adversus nomen Jesu Nazareni debere multa contraria agere, + +** Acts 26:10 + +quod et feci Jerosolymis, et multos sanctorum ego in carceribus inclusi, a principibus sacerdotum potestate accepta : et cum occiderentur, detuli sententiam. + +** Acts 26:11 + +Et per omnes synagogas frequenter puniens eos, compellebam blasphemare : et amplius insaniens in eos, persequebar usque in exteras civitates. + +** Acts 26:12 + +In quibus dum irem Damascum cum potestate et permissu principum sacerdotum, + +** Acts 26:13 + +die media in via vidi, rex, de cælo supra splendorem solis circumfulsisse me lumen, et eos qui mecum simul erant. + +** Acts 26:14 + +Omnesque nos cum decidissemus in terram, audivi vocem loquentem mihi hebraica lingua : Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris ? durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare. + +** Acts 26:15 + +Ego autem dixi : Quis es, domine ? Dominus autem dixit : Ego sum Jesus, quem tu persequeris. + +** Acts 26:16 + +Sed exsurge, et sta super pedes tuos : ad hoc enim apparui tibi, ut constituam te ministrum, et testem eorum quæ vidisti, et eorum quibus apparebo tibi, + +** Acts 26:17 + +eripiens te de populo et gentibus, in quas nunc ego mitto te, + +** Acts 26:18 + +aperire oculos eorum, ut convertantur a tenebris ad lucem, et de potestate Satanæ ad Deum, ut accipiant remissionem peccatorum, et sortem inter sanctos, per fidem quæ est in me. + +** Acts 26:19 + +Unde, rex Agrippa, non fui incredulus cælesti visioni : + +** Acts 26:20 + +sed his qui sunt Damasci primum, et Jerosolymis, et in omnem regionem Judææ, et gentibus, annuntiabam, ut pœnitentiam agerent, et converterentur ad Deum, digna pœnitentiæ opera facientes. + +** Acts 26:21 + +Hac ex causa me Judæi, cum essem in templo, comprehensum tentabant interficere. + +** Acts 26:22 + +Auxilio autem adjutus Dei usque in hodiernum diem, sto, testificans minori atque majori, nihil extra dicens quam ea quæ prophetæ locuti sunt futura esse, et Moyses, + +** Acts 26:23 + +si passibilis Christus, si primus ex resurrectione mortuorum, lumen annuntiaturus est populo et gentibus. + +** Acts 26:24 + +Hæc loquente eo, et rationem reddente, Festus magna voce dixit : Insanis, Paule : multæ te litteræ ad insaniam convertunt. + +** Acts 26:25 + +Et Paulus : Non insanio, inquit, optime Feste, sed veritatis et sobrietatis verba loquor. + +** Acts 26:26 + +Scit enim de his rex, ad quem et constanter loquor : latere enim eum nihil horum arbitror. Neque enim in angulo quidquam horum gestum est. + +** Acts 26:27 + +Credis, rex Agrippa, prophetis ? Scio quia credis. + +** Acts 26:28 + +Agrippa autem ad Paulum : In modico suades me christianum fieri. + +** Acts 26:29 + +Et Paulus : Opto apud Deum, et in modico et in magno, non tantum te, sed etiam omnes qui audiunt hodie fieri tales, qualis et ego sum, exceptis vinculis his. + +** Acts 26:30 + +Et exsurrexit rex, et præses, et Bernice, et qui assidebant eis. + +** Acts 26:31 + +Et cum secessissent, loquebantur ad invicem, dicentes : Quia nihil morte aut vinculis dignum quid fecit homo iste. + +** Acts 26:32 + +Agrippa autem Festo dixit : Dimitti poterat homo hic, si non appellasset Cæsarem. + +* Acts 27 + +** Acts 27:1 + +Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ, + +** Acts 27:2 + +ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi. + +** Acts 27:3 + +Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere. + +** Acts 27:4 + +Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii. + +** Acts 27:5 + +Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ : + +** Acts 27:6 + +et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam. + +** Acts 27:7 + +Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem : + +** Acts 27:8 + +et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa. + +** Acts 27:9 + +Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus, + +** Acts 27:10 + +dicens eis : Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio. + +** Acts 27:11 + +Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur. + +** Acts 27:12 + +Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum et ad Corum. + +** Acts 27:13 + +Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam. + +** Acts 27:14 + +Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo. + +** Acts 27:15 + +Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur. + +** Acts 27:16 + +In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham. + +** Acts 27:17 + +Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur. + +** Acts 27:18 + +Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt : + +** Acts 27:19 + +et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt. + +** Acts 27:20 + +Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ. + +** Acts 27:21 + +Et cum multa jejunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit : Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere injuriam hanc et jacturam. + +** Acts 27:22 + +Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse : amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis. + +** Acts 27:23 + +Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio, + +** Acts 27:24 + +dicens : Ne timeas, Paule : Cæsari te oportet assistere : et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum. + +** Acts 27:25 + +Propter quod bono animo estote, viri : credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi. + +** Acts 27:26 + +In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire. + +** Acts 27:27 + +Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem. + +** Acts 27:28 + +Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti : et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim. + +** Acts 27:29 + +Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri. + +** Acts 27:30 + +Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere, + +** Acts 27:31 + +dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus : Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis. + +** Acts 27:32 + +Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere. + +** Acts 27:33 + +Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens : Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes. + +** Acts 27:34 + +Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra : quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit. + +** Acts 27:35 + +Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium : et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare. + +** Acts 27:36 + +Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum. + +** Acts 27:37 + +Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex. + +** Acts 27:38 + +Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare. + +** Acts 27:39 + +Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant : sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem. + +** Acts 27:40 + +Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum : et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus. + +** Acts 27:41 + +Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem : et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris. + +** Acts 27:42 + +Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret. + +** Acts 27:43 + +Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri : jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire : + +** Acts 27:44 + +et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram. + +* Acts 28 + +** Acts 28:1 + +Et cum evasissemus, tunc cognovimus quia Melita insula vocabatur. Barbari vero præstabant non modicam humanitatem nobis. + +** Acts 28:2 + +Accensa enim pyra, reficiebant nos omnes propter imbrem qui imminebat, et frigus. + +** Acts 28:3 + +Cum congregasset autem Paulus sarmentorum aliquantam multitudinem, et imposuisset super ignem, vipera a calore cum processisset, invasit manum ejus. + +** Acts 28:4 + +Ut vero viderunt barbari pendentem bestiam de manu ejus, ad invicem dicebant : Utique homicida est homo hic, qui cum evaserit de mari, ultio non sinit eum vivere. + +** Acts 28:5 + +Et ille quidem excutiens bestiam in ignem, nihil mali passus est. + +** Acts 28:6 + +At illi existimabant eum in tumorem convertendum, et subito casurum et mori. Diu autem illis exspectantibus, et videntibus nihil mali in eo fieri, convertentes se, dicebant eum esse deum. + +** Acts 28:7 + +In locis autem illis erant prædia principis insulæ, nomine Publii, qui nos suscipiens, triduo benigne exhibuit. + +** Acts 28:8 + +Contigit autem patrem Publii febribus et dysenteria vexatum jacere. Ad quem Paulus intravit : et cum orasset, et imposuisset ei manus, salvavit eum. + +** Acts 28:9 + +Quo facto, omnes qui in insula habebant infirmitates, accedebant, et curabantur : + +** Acts 28:10 + +qui etiam multis honoribus nos honoraverunt, et navigantibus imposuerunt quæ necessaria erant. + +** Acts 28:11 + +Post menses autem tres navigavimus in navi Alexandrina, quæ in insula hiemaverat, cui erat insigne Castorum. + +** Acts 28:12 + +Et cum venissemus Syracusam, mansimus ibi triduo. + +** Acts 28:13 + +Inde circumlegentes devenimus Rhegium : et post unum diem, flante austro, secunda die venimus Puteolos : + +** Acts 28:14 + +ubi inventis fratribus rogati sumus manere apud eos dies septem : et sic venimus Romam. + +** Acts 28:15 + +Et inde cum audissent fratres, occurrerunt nobis usque ad Appii forum, ac tres Tabernas.

11:19 + +Et convertet faciem suam ad imperium terræ suæ, et impinget, et corruet, et non invenietur. + +** Daniel 11:20 + +Et stabit in loco ejus vilissimus, et indignus decore regio : et in paucis diebus conteretur, non in furore, nec in prælio. + +** Daniel 11:21 + +Et stabit in loco ejus despectus, et non tribuetur ei honor regius : et veniet clam, et obtinebit regnum in fraudulentia. + +** Daniel 11:22 + +Et brachia pugnantis expugnabuntur a facie ejus, et conterentur : insuper et dux fœderis. + +** Daniel 11:23 + +Et post amicitias, cum eo faciet dolum : et ascendet, et superabit in modico populo. + +** Daniel 11:24 + +Et abundantes, et uberes urbes ingredietur : et faciet quæ non fecerunt patres ejus, et patres patrum ejus : rapinas, et prædam, et divitias eorum dissipabit, et

ad bellum multis auxiliis, et fortibus nimis : et non stabunt, quia inibunt adversus eum consilia. + +** Daniel 11:26 + +Et comedentes panem cum eo, conterent illum, exercitusque ejus opprimetur : et cadent interfecti plurimi. + +** Daniel 11:27 + +Duorum quoque regum cor erit ut malefaciant, et ad mensam unam mendacium loquentur : et non proficient, quia adhuc finis in aliud tempus. + +** Daniel 11:28 + +Et revertetur in terram suam cum opibus multis : et cor ejus adversum testamentum sanctum, et faciet, et revertetur in terram suam. + +** Daniel 11:29 + +Statuto tempore revertetur, et veniet ad austrum : et non erit priori simile novissimum. + +** Daniel 11:30 + +Et venient super eum trieres, et Romani : et percutietur, et revertetur, et indignabitur contra testamentum sanctuarii, et faciet : reverteturque, et cogitabit adversum eos qui dereliquerunt testamentum sanctuarii. + +** Daniel 11:31 + +Et brachia ex eo stabunt, et polluent sanctuarium fortitudinis, et auferent juge sacrificium : et dabunt abominationem in desolationem. + +** Daniel 11:32 + +Et impii in testamentum simulabunt fraudulenter : populus autem sciens Deum suum, obtinebit, et faciet. + +** Daniel 11:33 + +Et docti in populo docebunt plurimos : et ruent in gladio, et in flamma, et in captivitate, et in rapina dierum. + +** Daniel 11:34 + +Cumque corruerint, sublevabuntur auxilio parvulo : et applicabuntur eis plurimi fraudulenter. + +** Daniel 11:35 + +Et de eruditis ruent, ut conflentur, et eligantur, et dealbentur usque ad tempus præfinitum : quia adhuc aliud tempus erit. + +** Daniel 11:36 + +Et faciet juxta voluntatem suam rex, et elevabitur, et magnificabitur adversus omnem deum : et adversus Deum deorum loquetur magnifica, et dirigetur, donec compleatur iracundia : perpetrata quippe est definitio. + +** Daniel 11:37 + +Et Deum patrum suorum non reputabit : et erit in concupiscentiis feminarum, nec quemquam deorum curabit, quia adversum universa consurget. + +** Daniel 11:38 + +Deum autem Maozim in loco suo venerabitur : et deum, quem ignoraverunt patres ejus, colet auro, et argento, et lapide pretioso, rebusque pretiosis. + +** Daniel 11:39 + +Et faciet ut muniat Maozim cum deo alieno, quem cognovit, et multiplicabit gloriam, et dabit eis potestatem in multis, et terram dividet gratuito. + +** Daniel 11:40 + +Et in tempore præfinito præliabitur adversus eum rex austri, et quasi tempestas veniet contra illum rex aquilonis in curribus, et in equitibus, et in classe magna, et ingredietur terras, et conteret, et pertransiet. + +** Daniel 11:41 + +Et introibit in terram gloriosam, et multæ corruent : hæ autem solæ salvabuntur de manu ejus, Edom, et Moab, et principium filiorum Ammon. + +** Daniel 11:42 + +Et mittet manum suam in terras : et terra Ægypti non effugiet. + +** Daniel 11:43 + +Et dominabitur thesaurorum auri, et argenti, et in omnibus pretiosis Ægypti : per Libyam quoque, et Æthiopiam transibit. + +** Daniel 11:44 + +Et fama turbabit eum ab oriente et ab aquilone : et veniet in multitudine magna ut conterat et interficiat plurimos. + +** Daniel 11:45 + +Et figet tabernaculum suum Apadno inter maria, super montem inclytum

aquis multis. + +** Ezekiel 31:6 + +Cumque extendisset umbram suam, in ramis ejus fecerunt nidos omnia volatilia cæli : et sub frondibus ejus genuerunt omnes bestiæ saltuum, et sub umbraculo illius habitabat cœtus gentium plurimarum. + +** Ezekiel 31:7 + +Eratque pulcherrimus in magnitudine sua, et in dilatatione arbustorum suorum : erat enim radix illius juxta aquas multas. + +** Ezekiel 31:8 + +Cedri non fuerunt altiores illo in paradiso Dei ; abietes non adæquaverunt summitatem ejus, et platani non fuerunt æquæ frondibus illius : omne lignum paradisi Dei non est assimilatum illi, et

+tradidi eum in manu fortissimi gentium : faciens faciet ei : juxta impietatem ejus ejeci eum. + +** Ezekiel 31:12 + +Et succident eum alieni, et crudelissimi nationum, et projicient eum super montes

+In ruina ejus habitaverunt omnia volatilia cæli, et in ramis ejus fuerunt universæ bestiæ regionis. + +** Ezekiel 31:14 + +Quam ob rem non elevabuntur in altitudine sua omnia ligna aquarum, nec ponent sublimitatem suam inter nemorosa atque frondosa, nec stabunt in sublimitate sua omnia quæ irrigantur aquis : quia omnes traditi sunt in mortem ad terram ultimam, in medio filiorum hominum, ad eos qui descendunt in lacum. + +** Ezekiel 31:15 + +Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : In die quando descendit ad inferos, induxi luctum : operui eum abysso, et prohibui flumina ejus, et coërcui aquas multas :

32:1 + +Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis : factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens : + +** Ezekiel 32:2 + +Fili hominis, assume lamentum super Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et dices ad eum : Leoni gentium assimilatus es, et draconi qui est in mari : et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis, et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis, et conculcabas flumina earum. + +** Ezekiel 32:3 + +Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum, et extraham te in sagena mea. + +** Ezekiel 32:4 + +Et projiciam te in terram ; super faciem agri abjiciam te : et habitare faciam super te omnia volatilia cæli, et saturabo de te bestias universæ terræ. + +** Ezekiel 32:5 + +Et dabo carnes tuas super montes, et implebo colles tuos sanie tua. + +** Ezekiel 32:6 + +Et irrigabo terram fœtore sanguinis tui super montes, et valles implebuntur ex te. + +** Ezekiel 32:7 + +Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, cælum, et nigrescere faciam stellas ejus : solem nube tegam, et luna non dabit lumen suum. + +** Ezekiel 32:8 + +Omnia luminaria cæli mœrere faciam super te, et dabo tenebras super terram tuam, dicit Dominus Deus, cum ceciderint vulnerati tui in medio terræ, ait Dominus Deus. + +** Ezekiel 32:9 + +Et irritabo cor populorum multorum, cum induxero contritionem tuam in gentibus super terras quas nescis. + +** Ezekiel 32:10 + +Et stupescere faciam super te populos multos, et reges eorum horrore nimio formidabunt super te, cum volare cœperit gladius meus super facies eorum : et obstupescent repente singuli pro anima sua in die ruinæ tuæ. + +** Ezekiel 32:11 + +Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi. + +** Ezekiel 32:12 + +In gladiis fortium dejiciam multitudinem tuam : inexpugnabiles omnes gentes hæ, et vastabunt superbiam Ægypti, et dissipabitur multitudo ejus. + +** Ezekiel 32:13 + +Et perdam omnia jumenta ejus, quæ erant super aquas plurimas : et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra, neque ungula jumentorum turbabit eas. + +** Ezekiel 32:14 + +Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum, et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam, ait Dominus Deus, + +** Ezekiel 32:15 + +cum dedero terram Ægypti desolatam : deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua quando percussero omnes habitatores ejus : et scient quia ego Dominus. + +** Ezekiel 32:16 + +Planctus est, et plangent eum : filiæ gentium plangent eum : super Ægyptum et super multitudinem ejus plangent eum, ait Dominus Deus. + +** Ezekiel 32:17 + +Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in quintadecima mensis : factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :

sunt ante tempus suum, et fluvius subvertit fundamentum eorum ? + +** Job 22:17 + +Qui dicebant Deo : Recede a nobis : et quasi nihil posset facere Omnipotens, æstimabant eum, + +** Job 22:18 + +cum ille implesset domos eorum bonis : quorum sententia procul sit a me. + +** Job 22:19 + +Videbunt justi, et lætabuntur, et innocens subsannabit eos : + +** Job 22:20 + +nonne succisa est erectio eorum ? et reliquias eorum devoravit ignis ? + +** Job 22:21 + +Acquiesce igitur ei, et habeto pacem, et per hæc habebis fructus optimos. + +** Job 22:22 + +Suscipe ex ore illius legem, et pone sermones ejus in corde tuo. + +** Job 22:23 + +Si reversus fueris ad Omnipotentem, ædificaberis, et longe facies iniquitatem a tabernaculo tuo. + +** Job 22:24 + +Dabit pro terra silicem, et pro silice torrentes aureos. + +** Job 22:25 + +Eritque Omnipotens contra hostes tuos, et argentum coacervabitur tibi. + +** Job 22:26 + +Tunc super Omnipotentem deliciis afflues, et elevabis ad Deum faciem tuam. + +** Job 22:27 + +Rogabis eum, et exaudiet te, et vota tua reddes. + +** Job 22:28 + +Decernes rem, et veniet tibi, et in viis tuis splendebit lumen. + +** Job 22:29 + +Qui enim humiliatus fuerit, erit in gloria, et qui inclinaverit oculos, ipse salvabitur. + +** Job 22:30 + +Salvabitur innocens : salvabitur autem in munditia manuum suarum. + +* Job 23 + +** Job 23:1 + +Respondens autem Job, ait : + +** Job 23:2 + +Nunc quoque in amaritudine est sermo meus, et manus plagæ meæ aggravata est super gemitum meum. + +** Job 23:3 + +Quis mihi tribuat ut cognoscam et inveniam illum, et veniam usque ad solium ejus ? + +** Job 23:4 + +Ponam coram eo judicium, et os meum replebo increpationibus : + +** Job 23:5 + +ut sciam verba quæ mihi respondeat, et intelligam quid loquatur mihi. + +** Job 23:6 + +Nolo multa fortitudine contendat mecum, nec magnitudinis suæ mole me premat. + +** Job 23:7 + +Proponat æquitatem contra me, et perveniat ad victoriam judicium meum. + +** Job 23:8 + +Si ad orientem iero, non apparet ; si ad occidentem, non intelligam eum. + +** Job 23:9 + +Si ad sinistram, quid agam ? non apprehendam eum ; si me vertam ad dexteram, non videbo illum. + +** Job 23:10 + +Ipse vero scit viam meam, et probavit me quasi aurum quod per ignem transit. + +** Job 23:11 + +Vestigia ejus secutus est pes meus : viam ejus custodivi, et non declinavi ex ea. + +** Job 23:12 + +A mandatis labiorum ejus non recessi, et in sinu meo abscondi verba oris ejus. + +** Job 23:13 + +Ipse enim solus est, et nemo avertere potest cogitationem ejus : et anima ejus quodcumque voluit, hoc fecit. + +** Job 23:14 + +Cum expleverit in me voluntatem suam, et alia multa similia præsto sunt ei. + +** Job 23:15 + +Et idcirco a facie ejus turbatus sum, et considerans eum, timore sollicitor. + +** Job 23:16 + +Deus mollivit cor meum, et Omnipotens conturbavit me. + +** Job 23:17 + +Non enim perii propter imminentes tenebras, nec faciem meam operuit caligo. + +* Job 24 + +** Job 24:1 + +Ab Omnipotente non sunt abscondita tempora : qui autem noverunt eum, ignorant dies illius. + +** Job 24:2 + +Alii terminos transtulerunt ; diripuerunt greges, et paverunt eos. + +** Job 24:3 + +Asinum pupillorum abegerunt, et abstulerunt pro pignore bovem viduæ. + +** Job 24:4 + +Subverterunt pauperum viam, et oppresserunt pariter mansuetos terræ. + +** Job 24:5 + +Alii quasi onagri in deserto egrediuntur ad opus suum : vigilantes ad prædam, præparant panem liberis. + +** Job 24:6 + +Agrum non suum demetunt, et vineam ejus, quem vi oppresserint, vindemiant. + +** Job 24:7 + +Nudos dimittunt homines, indumenta tollentes, quibus non est operimentum in frigore : + +** Job 24:8 + +quos imbres montium rigant, et non habentes velamen, amplexantur lapides. + +** Job 24:9 + +Vim fecerunt deprædantes pupillos, et vulgum pauperem spoliaverunt. + +** Job 24:10 + +Nudis et incedentibus absque vestitu, et esurientibus tulerunt spicas. + +** Job 24:11 + +Inter acervos eorum meridiati sunt, qui calcatis torcularibus sitiunt. + +** Job 24:12 + +De civitatibus fecerunt viros gemere, et anima vulneratorum clamavit : et Deus inultum abire non patitur. + +** Job 24:13 + +Ipsi fuerunt rebelles lumini : nescierunt vias ejus, nec reversi sunt per semitas ejus. + +** Job 24:14 + +Mane primo consurgit homicida ; interficit egenum et pauperem : per noctem vero erit quasi fur. + +** Job 24:15 + +Oculus adulteri observat caliginem, dicens : Non me videbit oculus : et operiet vultum suum. + +** Job 24:16 + +Perfodit in tenebris domos, sicut in die condixerant sibi, et ignoraverunt lucem. + +** Job 24:17 + +Si subito apparuerit aurora, arbitrantur umbram mortis : et sic in tenebris quasi in luce ambulant. + +** Job 24:18 + +Levis est super faciem aquæ : maledicta sit pars ejus in terra, nec ambulet per viam vinearum. + +** Job 24:19 + +Ad nimium calorem transeat ab aquis nivium, et usque ad inferos peccatum illius. + +** Job 24:20 + +Obliviscatur ejus misericordia ; dulcedo illius vermes : non sit in recordatione, sed conteratur quasi lignum infructuosum. + +** Job 24:21 + +Pavit enim sterilem quæ non parit, et viduæ bene non fecit. + +** Job 24:22 + +Detraxit fortes in fortitudine sua, et cum steterit, non credet vitæ suæ. + +** Job 24:23 + +Dedit ei Deus locum pœnitentiæ, et ille abutitur eo in superbiam : oculi autem ejus sunt in viis illius. + +** Job 24:24 + +Elevati sunt ad modicum, et non subsistent : et humiliabuntur sicut omnia, et auferentur, et sicut summitates spicarum conterentur. + +** Job 24:25 + +Quod si non est ita, quis me potest arguere esse mentitum, et ponere ante Deum verba mea ? + +* Job 25 + +** Job 25:1 + +Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit : + +** Job 25:2 + +Potestas et terror apud eum est, qui facit concordiam in sublimibus suis. + +** Job 25:3 + +Numquid est numerus militum ejus ? et super quem non surget lumen illius ? + +** Job 25:4 + +Numquid justificari potest homo comparatus Deo ? aut apparere mundus natus de muliere ? + +** Job 25:5 + +Ecce luna etiam non splendet, et stellæ non sunt mundæ in conspectu ejus : + +** Job 25:6 + +quanto magis homo putredo, et filius hominis vermis ? + +* Job 26 + +** Job 26:1 + +Respondens autem Job dixit : + +** Job 26:2 + +Cujus adjutor es ? numquid imbecillis ? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis ? + +** Job 26:3 + +Cui dedisti consilium ? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam : et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam. + +** Job 26:4 + +Quem docere voluisti ? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum ? + +** Job 26:5 + +Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis. + +** Job 26:6 + +Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni. + +** Job 26:7 + +Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum. + +** Job 26:8 + +Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum. + +** Job 26:9 + +Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam. + +** Job 26:10 + +Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ. + +** Job 26:11 + +Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus. + +** Job 26:12 + +In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum. + +** Job 26:13 + +Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus. + +** Job 26:14 + +Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus : et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri ? + +* Job 27 + +** Job 27:1 + +Addidit quoque Job, assumens parabolam suam, et dixit : + +** Job 27:2 + +Vivit Deus, qui abstulit judicium meum, et Omnipotens, qui ad amaritudinem adduxit animam meam. + +** Job 27:3 + +Quia donec superest halitus in me, et spiritus Dei in naribus meis, + +** Job 27:4 + +non loquentur labia mea iniquitatem, nec lingua mea meditabitur mendacium. + +** Job 27:5 + +Absit a me ut justos vos esse judicem : donec deficiam, non recedam ab innocentia mea. + +** Job 27:6 + +Justificationem meam, quam cœpi tenere, non deseram : neque enim reprehendit me cor meum in omni vita mea. + +** Job 27:7 + +Sit ut impius, inimicus meus, et adversarius meus quasi iniquus. + +** Job 27:8 + +Quæ est enim spes hypocritæ, si avare rapiat, et non liberet Deus animam ejus ? + +** Job 27:9 + +Numquid Deus audiet clamorem ejus, cum venerit super eum angustia ? + +** Job 27:10 + +aut poterit in Omnipotente delectari, et invocare Deum omni tempore ? + +** Job 27:11 + +Docebo vos per manum Dei quæ Omnipotens habeat, nec abscondam. + +** Job 27:12 + +Ecce vos omnes nostis : et quid sine causa vana loquimini ? + +** Job 27:13 + +Hæc est pars hominis impii apud Deum, et hæreditas violentorum, quam ob Omnipotente suscipient. + +** Job 27:14 + +Si multiplicati fuerint filii ejus, in gladio erunt, et nepotes ejus non saturabuntur pane : + +** Job 27:15 + +qui reliqui fuerint ex eo sepelientur in interitu, et viduæ illius non plorabunt. + +** Job 27:16 + +Si comportaverit quasi terram argentum, et sicut lutum præparaverit vestimenta : + +** Job 27:17 + +præparabit quidem, sed justus vestietur illis, et argentum innocens dividet. + +** Job 27:18 + +Ædificavit sicut tinea domum suam, et sicut custos fecit umbraculum. + +** Job 27:19 + +Dives, cum dormierit, nihil secum auferet : aperiet oculos suos, et nihil inveniet. + +** Job 27:20 + +Apprehendet eum quasi aqua inopia : nocte opprimet eum tempestas. + +** Job 27:21 + +Tollet eum ventus urens, et auferet, et velut turbo rapiet eum de loco suo. + +** Job 27:22 + +Et mittet super eum, et non parcet : de manu ejus fugiens fugiet. + +** Job 27:23 + +Stringet super eum manus suas, et sibilabit super illum, intuens locum ejus. + +* Job 28 + +** Job 28:1 + +Habet argentum venarum suarum principia, et auro locus est in quo conflatur. + +** Job 28:2 + +Ferrum de terra tollitur, et lapis solutus calore in æs vertitur. + +** Job 28:3 + +Tempus posuit tenebris, et universorum finem ipse considerat : lapidem quoque caliginis et umbram mortis. + +** Job 28:4 + +Dividit torrens a populo peregrinante eos quos oblitus est pes egentis hominis, et invios. + +** Job 28:5 + +Terra de qua oriebatur panis, in loco suo igni subversa est. + +** Job 28:6 + +Locus sapphiri lapides ejus, et glebæ illius aurum. + +** Job 28:7 + +Semitam ignoravit avis, nec intuitus est eam oculus vulturis. + +** Job 28:8 + +Non calcaverunt eam filii institorum, nec pertransivit per eam leæna. + +** Job 28:9 + +Ad silicem extendit manum suam : subvertit a radicibus montes. + +** Job 28:10 + +In petris rivos excidit, et omne pretiosum vidit oculus ejus. + +** Job 28:11 + +Profunda quoque fluviorum scrutatus est, et abscondita in lucem produxit. + +** Job 28:12 + +Sapientia vero ubi invenitur ? et quis est locus intelligentiæ ? + +** Job 28:13 + +Nescit homo pretium ejus, nec invenitur in terra suaviter viventium. + +** Job 28:14 + +Abyssus dicit : Non est in me, et mare loquitur : Non est mecum. + +** Job 28:15 + +Non dabitur aurum obrizum pro ea, nec appendetur argentum in commutatione ejus. + +** Job 28:16 + +Non conferetur tinctis Indiæ coloribus, nec lapidi sardonycho pretiosissimo vel sapphiro. + +** Job 28:17 + +Non adæquabitur ei aurum vel vitrum, nec commutabuntur pro ea vasa auri. + +** Job 28:18 + +Excelsa et eminentia non memorabuntur comparatione ejus : trahitur autem sapientia de occultis. + +** Job 28:19 + +Non adæquabitur ei topazius de Æthiopia, nec tincturæ mundissimæ componetur. + +** Job 28:20 + +Unde ergo sapientia venit ? et quis est locus intelligentiæ ? + +** Job 28:21 + +Abscondita est ab oculis omnium viventium : volucres quoque cæli latet. + +** Job 28:22 + +Perditio et mors dixerunt : Auribus nostris audivimus famam ejus. + +** Job 28:23 + +Deus intelligit viam ejus, et ipse novit locum illius. + +** Job 28:24 + +Ipse enim fines mundi intuetur, et omnia quæ sub cælo sunt respicit. + +** Job 28:25 + +Qui fecit ventis pondus, et aquas appendit in mensura. + +** Job 28:26 + +Quando ponebat pluviis legem, et viam procellis sonantibus : + +** Job 28:27 + +tunc vidit illam et enarravit, et præparavit, et investigavit. + +** Job 28:28 + +Et dixit homini : Ecce timor Domini, ipsa est sapientia ; et recedere a malo, intelligentia. + +* Job 29 + +** Job 29:1 + +Addidit quoque Job, assumens parabolam suam, et dixit : + +** Job 29:2 + +Quis mihi tribuat ut sim juxta menses pristinos, secundum dies quibus Deus custodiebat me ? + +** Job 29:3 + +Quando splendebat lucerna ejus super caput meum, et ad lumen ejus ambulabam in tenebris : + +** Job 29:4 + +sicut fui in diebus adolescentiæ meæ, quando secreto Deus erat in tabernaculo meo : + +** Job 29:5 + +quando erat Omnipotens mecum, et in circuitu meo pueri mei : + +** Job 29:6 + +quando lavabam pedes meos butyro, et petra fundebat mihi rivos olei : + +** Job 29:7 + +quando procedebam ad portam civitatis, et in platea parabant cathedram mihi. + +** Job 29:8 + +Videbant me juvenes, et abscondebantur : et senes assurgentes stabant. + +** Job 29:9 + +Principes cessabant loqui, et digitum superponebant ori suo. + +** Job 29:10 + +Vocem suam cohibebant duces, et lingua eorum gutturi suo adhærebat. + +** Job 29:11 + +Auris audiens beatificabat me, et oculus videns testimonium reddebat mihi : + +** Job 29:12 + +eo quod liberassem pauperem vociferantem, et pupillum cui non esset adjutor. + +** Job 29:13 + +Benedictio perituri super me veniebat, et cor viduæ consolatus sum. + +** Job 29:14 + +Justitia indutus sum, et vestivi me, sicut vestimento et diademate, judicio meo. + +** Job 29:15 + +Oculus fui cæco, et pes claudo. + +** Job 29:16 + +Pater eram pauperum, et causam quam nesciebam diligentissime investigabam. + +** Job 29:17 + +Conterebam molas iniqui, et de dentibus illius auferebam prædam. + +** Job 29:18 + +Dicebamque : In nidulo meo moriar, et sicut palma multiplicabo dies. + +** Job 29:19 + +Radix mea aperta est secus aquas, et ros morabitur in messione mea. + +** Job 29:20 + +Gloria mea semper innovabitur, et arcus meus in manu mea instaurabitur. + +** Job 29:21 + +Qui me audiebant, expectabant sententiam, et intenti tacebant ad consilium meum. + +** Job 29:22 + +Verbis meis addere nihil audebant, et super illos stillabat eloquium meum. + +** Job 29:23 + +Expectabant me sicut pluviam, et os suum aperiebant quasi ad imbrem serotinum. + +** Job 29:24 + +Siquando ridebam ad eos, non credebant : et lux vultus mei non cadebat in terram. + +** Job 29:25 + +Si voluissem ire ad eos, sedebam primus : cumque sederem quasi rex, circumstante exercitu, eram tamen mœrentium consolator. + +* Job 30 + +** Job 30:1 + +Nunc autem derident me juniores tempore, quorum non dignabar patres ponere cum canibus gregis mei : + +** Job 30:2 + +quorum virtus manuum mihi erat pro nihilo, et vita ipsa putabantur indigni : + +** Job 30:3 + +egestate et fame steriles, qui rodebant in solitudine, squallentes calamitate et miseria. + +** Job 30:4 + +Et mandebant herbas, et arborum cortices, et radix juniperorum erat cibus eorum : + +** Job 30:5 + +qui de convallibus ista rapientes, cum singula reperissent, ad ea cum clamore currebant. + +** Job 30:6 + +In desertis habitabant torrentium, et in cavernis terræ, vel super glaream : + +** Job 30:7 + +qui inter hujuscemodi lætabantur, et esse sub sentibus delicias computabant : + +** Job 30:8 + +filii stultorum et ignobilium, et in terra penitus non parentes. + +** Job 30:9 + +Nunc in eorum canticum versus sum, et factus sum eis in proverbium. + +** Job 30:10 + +Abominantur me, et longe fugiunt a me, et faciem meam conspuere non verentur. + +** Job 30:11 + +Pharetram enim suam aperuit, et afflixit me, et frenum posuit in os meum. + +** Job 30:12 + +Ad dexteram orientis calamitates meæ illico surrexerunt : pedes meos subverterunt, et oppresserunt quasi fluctibus semitis suis. + +** Job 30:13 + +Dissipaverunt itinera mea ; insidiati sunt mihi, et prævaluerunt : et non fuit qui ferret auxilium. + +** Job 30:14 + +Quasi rupto muro, et aperta janua, irruerunt super me, et ad meas miserias devoluti sunt. + +** Job 30:15 + +Redactus sum in nihilum : abstulisti quasi ventus desiderium meum, et velut nubes pertransiit salus mea. + +** Job 30:16 + +Nunc autem in memetipso marcescit anima mea, et possident me dies afflictionis. + +** Job 30:17 + +Nocte os meum perforatur doloribus, et qui me comedunt, non dormiunt. + +** Job 30:18 + +In multitudine eorum consumitur vestimentum meum, et quasi capitio tunicæ succinxerunt me. + +** Job 30:19 + +Comparatus sum luto, et assimilatus sum favillæ et cineri. + +** Job 30:20 + +Clamo ad te, et non exaudis me : sto, et non respicis me. + +** Job 30:21 + +Mutatus es mihi in crudelem, et in duritia manus tuæ adversaris mihi. + +** Job 30:22 + +Elevasti me, et quasi super ventum ponens ; elisisti me valide. + +** Job 30:23 + +Scio quia morti trades me, ubi constituta est domus omni viventi. + +** Job 30:24 + +Verumtamen non ad consumptionem eorum emittis manum tuam : et si corruerint, ipse salvabis. + +** Job 30:25 + +Flebam quondam super eo qui afflictus erat, et compatiebatur anima mea pauperi. + +** Job 30:26 + +Expectabam bona, et venerunt mihi mala : præstolabar lucem, et eruperunt tenebræ. + +** Job 30:27 + +Interiora mea efferbuerunt absque ulla requie : prævenerunt me dies afflictionis. + +** Job 30:28 + +Mœrens incedebam sine furore ; consurgens, in turba clamabam. + +** Job 30:29 + +Frater fui draconum, et socius struthionum. + +** Job 30:30 + +Cutis mea denigrata est super me, et ossa mea aruerunt præ caumate. + +** Job 30:31 + +Versa est in luctum cithara mea, et organum meum in vocem flentium. + +* Job 31 + +** Job 31:1 + +Pepigi fœdus cum oculis meis, ut ne cogitarem quidem de virgine. + +** Job 31:2 + +Quam enim partem haberet in me Deus desuper, et hæreditatem Omnipotens de excelsis ? + +** Job 31:3 + +Numquid non perditio est iniquo, et alienatio operantibus injustitiam ? + +** Job 31:4 + +Nonne ipse considerat vias meas, et cunctos gressus meos dinumerat ? + +** Job 31:5 + +Si ambulavi in vanitate, et festinavit in dolo pes meus, + +** Job 31:6 + +appendat me in statera justa, et sciat Deus simplicitatem meam. + +** Job 31:7 + +Si declinavit gressus meus de via, et si secutum est oculos meos cor meum, et si manibus meis adhæsit macula, + +** Job 31:8 + +seram, et alius comedat, et progenies mea eradicetur. + +** Job 31:9 + +Si deceptum est cor meum super muliere, et si ad ostium amici mei insidiatus sum, + +** Job 31:10 + +scortum alterius sit uxor mea, et super illam incurventur alii. + +** Job 31:11 + +Hoc enim nefas est, et iniquitas maxima. + +** Job 31:12 + +Ignis est usque ad perditionem devorans, et omnia eradicans genimina. + +** Job 31:13 + +Si contempsi subire judicium cum servo meo et ancilla mea, cum disceptarent adversum me : + +** Job 31:14 + +quid enim faciam cum surrexerit ad judicandum Deus ? et cum quæsierit, quid respondebo illi ? + +** Job 31:15 + +Numquid non in utero fecit me, qui et illum operatus est, et formavit me in vulva unus ? + +** Job 31:16 + +Si negavi quod volebant pauperibus, et oculos viduæ expectare feci ; + +** Job 31:17 + +si comedi buccellam meam solus, et non comedit pupillus ex ea + +** Job 31:18 + +(quia ab infantia mea crevit mecum miseratio, et de utero matris meæ egressa est mecum) ; + +** Job 31:19 + +si despexi pereuntem, eo quod non habuerit indumentum, et absque operimento pauperem ; + +** Job 31:20 + +si non benedixerunt mihi latera ejus, et de velleribus ovium mearum calefactus est ; + +** Job 31:21 + +si levavi super pupillum manum meam, etiam cum viderem me in porta superiorem : + +** Job 31:22 + +humerus meus a junctura sua cadat, et brachium meum cum suis ossibus confringatur. + +** Job 31:23 + +Semper enim quasi tumentes super me fluctus timui Deum, et pondus ejus ferre non potui. + +** Job 31:24 + +Si putavi aurum robur meum, et obrizo dixi : Fiducia mea ; + +** Job 31:25 + +si lætatus sum super multis divitiis meis, et quia plurima reperit manus mea ; + +** Job 31:26 + +si vidi solem cum fulgeret, et lunam incedentem clare, + +** Job 31:27 + +et lætatum est in abscondito cor meum, et osculatus sum manum meam ore meo : + +** Job 31:28 + +quæ est iniquitas maxima, et negatio contra Deum altissimum. + +** Job 31:29 + +Si gavisus sum ad ruinam ejus qui me oderat, et exsultavi quod invenisset eum malum : + +** Job 31:30 + +non enim dedi ad peccandum guttur meum, ut expeterem maledicens animam ejus. + +** Job 31:31 + +Si non dixerunt viri tabernaculi mei : Quis det de carnibus ejus, ut saturemur ? + +** Job 31:32 + +foris non mansit peregrinus : ostium meum viatori patuit. + +** Job 31:33 + +Si abscondi quasi homo peccatum meum, et celavi in sinu meo iniquitatem meam ; + +** Job 31:34 + +si expavi ad multitudinem nimiam, et despectio propinquorum terruit me : et non magis tacui, nec egressus sum ostium. + +** Job 31:35 + +Quis mihi tribuat auditorem, ut desiderium meum audiat Omnipotens, et librum scribat ipse qui judicat, + +** Job 31:36 + +ut in humero meo portem illum, et circumdem illum quasi coronam

Et dicit ei Jesus : Sequere me. + +** John 1:44 + +Erat autem Philippus a Bethsaida, civitate Andreæ et Petri. + +** John 1:45 + +Invenit Philippus Nathanaël, et dicit ei : Quem scripsit Moyses in lege, et prophetæ, invenimus Jesum filium Joseph a Nazareth. + +** John 1:46 + +Et dixit ei Nathanaël : A Nazareth potest aliquid boni esse ? Dicit ei Philippus : Veni et vide. + +** John 1:47 + +Vidit Jesus Nathanaël venientem ad se, et dicit de eo : Ecce vere Israëlita, in quo dolus non est. + +** John 1:48 + +Dicit ei Nathanaël : Unde me nosti ? Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Priusquam te Philippus vocavit, cum esses sub ficu, vidi te. + +** John 1:49 + +Respondit ei Nathanaël, et ait : Rabbi, tu es Filius Dei, tu es rex Israël. + +** John 1:50 + +Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Quia dixi tibi : Vidi te sub ficu, credis ; majus his videbis. + +** John 1:51 + +Et dicit ei : Amen, amen dico vobis, videbitis cælum apertum, et angelos Dei ascendentes, et descendentes supra Filium hominis. + +* John 2 + +** John 2:1 + +Et die tertia nuptiæ factæ sunt in Cana Galilææ, et erat mater Jesu ibi. + +** John 2:2 + +Vocatus est autem et Jesus, et discipuli ejus, ad nuptias. + +** John 2:3 + +Et deficiente vino, dicit mater Jesu ad eum : Vinum non habent. + +** John 2:4 + +Et dicit ei Jesus : Quid mihi et tibi est, mulier ? nondum venit hora mea. + +** John 2:5 + +Dicit mater ejus ministris : Quodcumque dixerit vobis, facite. + +** John 2:6 + +Erant autem ibi lapideæ hydriæ sex positæ secundum purificationem Judæorum, capientes singulæ metretas binas vel ternas. + +** John 2:7 + +Dicit eis Jesus : Implete hydrias aqua. Et impleverunt eas usque ad summum. + +** John 2:8 + +Et dicit eis Jesus : Haurite nunc, et ferte architriclino. Et tulerunt. + +** John 2:9 + +Ut autem gustavit architriclinus aquam vinum factam, et non sciebat unde esset, ministri autem sciebant, qui hauserant aquam : vocat sponsum architriclinus, + +** John 2:10 + +et dicit ei : Omnis homo primum bonum vinum ponit et cum inebriati fuerint, tunc id, quod deterius est. Tu autem servasti bonum vinum usque adhuc. + +** John 2:11 + +Hoc fecit initium signorum Jesus in Cana Galilææ ; et manifestavit gloriam suam, et crediderunt in eum discipuli ejus. + +** John 2:12 + +Post hoc descendit Capharnaum ipse, et mater ejus, et fratres ejus, et discipuli ejus : et ibi manserunt non multis diebus. + +** John 2:13 + +Et prope erat Pascha Judæorum, et ascendit Jesus Jerosolymam : + +** John 2:14 + +et invenit in templo vendentes boves, et oves, et columbas, et numularios sedentes. + +** John 2:15 + +Et cum fecisset quasi flagellum de funiculis, omnes ejecit de templo, oves quoque, et boves, et numulariorum effudit æs, et mensas subvertit. + +** John 2:16 + +Et his qui columbas vendebant, dixit : Auferte ista hinc, et nolite facere domum patris mei, domum negotiationis. + +** John 2:17 + +Recordati sunt vero discipuli ejus quia scriptum est : Zelus domus tuæ comedit me. + +** John 2:18 + +Responderunt ergo Judæi, et dixerunt ei : Quod signum ostendis nobis, quia hæc facis ? + +** John 2:19 + +Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis : Solvite templum hoc, et in tribus diebus excitabo illud. + +** John 2:20 + +Dixerunt ergo Judæi : Quadraginta et sex annis ædificatum est templum hoc, et tu in tribus diebus excitabis illud ? + +** John 2:21 + +Ille autem dicebat de templo corporis sui. + +** John 2:22 + +Cum ergo resurrexisset a mortuis, recordati sunt discipuli ejus, quia hoc dicebat, et crediderunt scripturæ et sermoni quem dixit Jesus. + +** John 2:23 + +Cum autem esset Jerosolymis in Pascha in die festo, multi crediderunt in nomine ejus, videntes signa ejus, quæ faciebat. + +** John 2:24 + +Ipse autem Jesus non credebat semetipsum eis, eo quod ipse nosset omnes, + +** John 2:25 + +et quia opus ei non erat ut quis testimonium perhiberet de homine : ipse enim sciebat quid esset in homine. + +* John 3 + +** John 3:1 + +Erat autem homo ex pharisæis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Judæorum. + +** John 3:2 + +Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei : Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest hæc signa facere, quæ tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo. + +** John 3:3 + +Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei. + +** John 3:4 + +Dicit ad eum Nicodemus : Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex ? numquid potest in ventrem matris suæ iterato introire et renasci ? + +** John 3:5 + +Respondit Jesus : Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei. + +** John 3:6 + +Quod natum est ex carne, caro est : et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est. + +** John 3:7 + +Non mireris quia dixi tibi : oportet vos nasci denuo. + +** John 3:8 + +Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat : sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu. + +** John 3:9 + +Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei : Quomodo possunt hæc fieri ? + +** John 3:10 + +Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Tu es magister in Israël, et hæc ignoras ? + +** John 3:11 + +Amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis. + +** John 3:12 + +Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis : quomodo, si dixero vobis cælestia, credetis ? + +** John 3:13 + +Et nemo ascendit in cælum, nisi qui descendit de cælo, Filius hominis, qui est in cælo. + +** John 3:14 + +Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis : + +** John 3:15 + +ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam. + +** John 3:16 + +Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret : ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam. + +** John 3:17 + +Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum. + +** John 3:18 + +Qui credit in eum, non judicatur ; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est : quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei. + +** John 3:19 + +Hoc est autem judicium : quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem : erant enim eorum mala opera. + +** John 3:20 + +Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus : + +** John 3:21 + +qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta. + +** John 3:22 + +Post hæc venit Jesus et discipuli ejus in terram Judæam : et illic demorabatur cum eis, et baptizabat. + +** John 3:23 + +Erat autem et Joannes baptizans, in Ænnon, juxta Salim : quia aquæ multæ erant illic, et veniebant et baptizabantur. + +** John 3:24 + +Nondum enim missus fuerat Joannes in carcerem. + +** John 3:25 + +Facta est autem quæstio ex discipulis Joannis cum Judæis de purificatione. + +** John 3:26 + +Et venerunt ad Joannem, et dixerunt ei : Rabbi, qui erat tecum trans Jordanem, cui tu testimonium perhibuisti, ecce hic baptizat, et omnes veniunt ad eum. + +** John 3:27 + +Respondit Joannes, et dixit : Non potest homo accipere quidquam, nisi fuerit ei datum de cælo. + +** John 3:28 + +Ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis, quod dixerim : Non sum ego Christus : sed quia missus sum ante illum. + +** John 3:29 + +Qui habet sponsam, sponsus est : amicus autem sponsi, qui stat, et audit eum, gaudio gaudet propter vocem sponsi. Hoc ergo gaudium meum impletum est. + +** John 3:30 + +Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui. + +** John 3:31 + +Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de cælo venit, super omnes est. + +** John 3:32 + +Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur : et testimonium ejus nemo accipit. + +** John 3:33 + +Qui accepit ejus testimonium signavit, quia Deus verax est. + +** John 3:34 + +Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur : non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum. + +** John 3:35 + +Pater diligit Filium et omnia dedit in manu ejus. + +** John 3:36 + +Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam æternam ; qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum. + +* John 4 + +** John 4:1 + +Ut ergo cognovit Jesus quia audierunt pharisæi quod Jesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Joannes + +** John 4:2 + +(quamquam Jesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli ejus), + +** John 4:3 + +reliquit Judæam, et abiit iterum in Galilæam. + +** John 4:4 + +Oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam. + +** John 4:5 + +Venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ, quæ dicitur Sichar, juxta prædium quod dedit Jacob Joseph filio suo. + +** John 4:6 + +Erat autem ibi fons Jacob. Jesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora erat quasi sexta. + +** John 4:7 + +Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Jesus : Da mihi bibere. + +** John 4:8 + +(Discipuli enim ejus abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.) + +** John 4:9 + +Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana : Quomodo tu, Judæus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quæ sum mulier Samaritana ? non enim coutuntur Judæi Samaritanis. + +** John 4:10 + +Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Si scires donum Dei, et quis est qui dicit tibi : Da mihi bibere, tu forsitan petisses ab eo, et dedisset tibi aquam vivam. + +** John 4:11 + +Dicit ei mulier : Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est : unde ergo habes aquam vivam ? + +** John 4:12 + +Numquid tu major es patre nostro Jacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii ejus, et pecora ejus ? + +** John 4:13 + +Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Omnis qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum ; qui autem biberit ex aqua quam ego dabo ei, non sitiet in æternum : + +** John 4:14 + +sed aqua quam ego dabo ei, fiet in eo fons aquæ salientis in vitam æternam. + +** John 4:15 + +Dicit ad eum mulier : Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam, neque veniam huc haurire. + +** John 4:16 + +Dicit ei Jesus : Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc. + +** John 4:17 + +Respondit mulier, et dixit : Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Jesus : Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum ; + +** John 4:18 + +quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir : hoc vere dixisti. + +** John 4:19 + +Dicit ei mulier : Domine, video quia propheta es tu. + +** John 4:20 + +Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Jerosolymis est locus ubi adorare oportet. + +** John 4:21 + +Dicit ei Jesus : Mulier, crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Jerosolymis adorabitis Patrem. + +** John 4:22 + +Vos adoratis quod nescitis : nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Judæis est. + +** John 4:23 + +Sed venit hora, et nunc est, quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate. Nam et Pater tales quærit, qui adorent eum. + +** John 4:24 + +Spiritus est Deus : et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare. + +** John 4:25 + +Dicit ei mulier : Scio quia Messias venit (qui dicitur Christus) : cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annuntiabit omnia. + +** John 4:26 + +Dicit ei Jesus : Ego sum, qui loquor tecum. + +** John 4:27 + +Et continuo venerunt discipuli ejus, et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit : Quid quæris ? aut, Quid loqueris cum ea ? + +** John 4:28 + +Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus : + +** John 4:29 + +Venite, et videte hominem qui dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci : numquid ipse est Christus ? + +** John 4:30 + +Exierunt ergo de civitate et veniebant ad eum. + +** John 4:31 + +Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes : Rabbi, manduca. + +** John 4:32 + +Ille autem dicit eis : Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis. + +** John 4:33 + +Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem : Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare ? + +** John 4:34 + +Dicit eis Jesus : Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem ejus qui misit me, ut perficiam opus ejus. + +** John 4:35 + +Nonne vos dicitis quod adhuc quatuor menses sunt, et messis venit ? Ecce dico vobis : levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albæ sunt jam ad messem. + +** John 4:36 + +Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam æternam : ut et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit. + +** John 4:37 + +In hoc enim est verbum verum : quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit. + +** John 4:38 + +Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis : alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis. + +** John 4:39 + +Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis : Quia dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci. + +** John 4:40 + +Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies. + +** John 4:41 + +Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem ejus. + +** John 4:42 + +Et mulieri dicebant : Quia jam non propter tuam loquelam credimus : ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi. + +** John 4:43 + +Post duos autem dies exiit inde, et abiit in Galilæam. + +** John 4:44 + +Ipse enim Jesus testimonium perhibuit, quia propheta in sua patria honorem non habet. + +** John 4:45 + +Cum ergo venisset in Galilæam, exceperunt eum Galilæi, cum omnia vidissent quæ fecerat Jerosolymis in die festo : et ipsi enim venerant ad diem festum. + +** John 4:46 + +Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilææ, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum. + +** John 4:47 + +Hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judæa in Galilæam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium ejus : incipiebat enim mori. + +** John 4:48 + +Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum : Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis. + +** John 4:49 + +Dicit ad eum regulus : Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus. + +** John 4:50 + +Dicit ei Jesus : Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat. + +** John 4:51 + +Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret. + +** John 4:52 + +Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei : Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris. + +** John 4:53 + +Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus : Filius tuus vivit ; et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota. + +** John 4:54 + +Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Jesus, cum venisset a Judæa in Galilæam. + +* John 5 + +** John 5:1 + +Post hæc erat dies festus Judæorum, et ascendit Jesus Jerosolymam. + +** John 5:2 + +Est autem Jerosolymis probatica piscina, quæ cognominatur hebraice Bethsaida, quinque porticus habens. + +** John 5:3 + +In his jacebat multitudo magna languentium, cæcorum, claudorum, aridorum, exspectantium aquæ motum. + +** John 5:4 + +Angelus autem Domini descendebat secundum tempus in piscinam, et movebatur aqua. Et qui prior descendisset in piscinam post motionem aquæ, sanus fiebat a quacumque detinebatur infirmitate. + +** John 5:5 + +Erat autem quidam homo ibi triginta et octo annos habens in infirmitate sua. + +** John 5:6 + +Hunc autem cum vidisset Jesus jacentem, et cognovisset quia jam multum tempus haberet, dicit ei : Vis sanus fieri ? + +** John 5:7 + +Respondit ei languidus : Domine, hominem non habeo, ut, cum turbata fuerit aqua, mittat me in piscinam : dum venio enim ego, alius ante me descendit. + +** John 5:8 + +Dicit ei Jesus : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum et ambula. + +** John 5:9 + +Et statim sanus factus est homo ille : et sustulit grabatum suum, et ambulabat. Erat autem sabbatum in die illo. + +** John 5:10 + +Dicebant ergo Judæi illi qui sanatus fuerat : Sabbatum est, non licet tibi tollere grabatum tuum. + +** John 5:11 + +Respondit eis : Qui me sanum fecit, ille mihi dixit : Tolle grabatum tuum et ambula. + +** John 5:12 + +Interrogaverunt ergo eum : Quis est ille homo qui dixit tibi : Tolle grabatum tuum et ambula ? + +** John 5:13 + +Is autem qui sanus fuerat effectus, nesciebat quis esset. Jesus enim declinavit a turba constituta in loco. + +** John 5:14 + +Postea invenit eum Jesus in templo, et dixit illi : Ecce sanus factus es ; jam noli peccare, ne deterius tibi aliquid contingat. + +** John 5:15 + +Abiit ille homo, et nuntiavit Judæis quia Jesus esset, qui fecit eum sanum. + +** John 5:16 + +Propterea persequebantur Judæi Jesum, quia hæc faciebat in sabbato. + +** John 5:17 + +Jesus autem respondit eis : Pater meus usque modo operatur, et ego operor. + +** John 5:18 + +Propterea ergo magis quærebant eum Judæi interficere : quia non solum solvebat sabbatum, sed et patrem suum dicebat Deum, æqualem se faciens Deo. Respondit itaque Jesus, et dixit eis : + +** John 5:19 + +Amen, amen dico vobis : non potest Filius a se facere quidquam, nisi quod viderit Patrem facientem : quæcumque enim ille fecerit, hæc et Filius similiter facit. + +** John 5:20 + +Pater enim diligit Filium, et omnia demonstrat ei quæ ipse facit : et majora his demonstrabit ei opera, ut vos miremini. + +** John 5:21 + +Sicut enim Pater suscitat mortuos, et vivificat, sic et Filius, quos vult, vivificat. + +** John 5:22 + +Neque enim Pater judicat quemquam : sed omne judicium dedit Filio, + +** John 5:23 + +ut omnes honorificent Filium, sicut honorificant Patrem ; qui non honorificat Filium, non honorificat Patrem, qui misit illum. + +** John 5:24 + +Amen, amen dico vobis, quia qui verbum meum audit, et credit ei qui misit me, habet vitam æternam, et in judicium non venit, sed transiit a morte in vitam. + +** John 5:25 + +Amen, amen dico vobis, quia venit hora, et nunc est, quando mortui audient vocem Filii Dei : et qui audierint, vivent. + +** John 5:26 + +Sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semetipso, sic dedit et Filio habere vitam in semetipso : + +** John 5:27 + +et potestatem dedit ei judicium facere, quia Filius hominis est. + +** John 5:28 + +Nolite mirari hoc, quia venit hora in qua omnes qui in monumentis sunt audient vocem Filii Dei : + +** John 5:29 + +et procedent qui bona fecerunt, in resurrectionem vitæ ; qui vero mala egerunt, in resurrectionem judicii. + +** John 5:30 + +Non possum ego a meipso facere quidquam. Sicut audio, judico : et judicium meum justum est, quia non quæro voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me. + +** John 5:31 + +Si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, testimonium meum non est verum. + +** John 5:32 + +Alius est qui testimonium perhibet de me : et scio quia verum est testimonium, quod perhibet de me. + +** John 5:33 + +Vos misistis ad Joannem, et testimonium perhibuit veritati. + +** John 5:34 + +Ego autem non ab homine testimonium accipio : sed hæc dico ut vos salvi sitis. + +** John 5:35 + +Ille erat lucerna ardens et lucens : vos autem voluistis ad horam exsultare in luce ejus. + +** John 5:36 + +Ego autem habeo testimonium majus Joanne. Opera enim quæ dedit mihi Pater ut perficiam ea : ipsa opera, quæ ego facio, testimonium perhibent de me, quia Pater misit me : + +** John 5:37 + +et qui misit me Pater, ipse testimonium perhibuit de me : neque vocem ejus umquam audistis, neque speciem ejus vidistis : + +** John 5:38 + +et verbum ejus non habetis in vobis manens : quia quem misit ille, huic vos non creditis. + +** John 5:39 + +Scrutamini Scripturas, quia vos putatis in ipsis vitam æternam habere : et illæ sunt quæ testimonium perhibent de me : + +** John 5:40 + +et non vultis venire ad me ut vitam habeatis. + +** John 5:41 + +Claritatem ab hominibus non accipio. + +** John 5:42 + +Sed cognovi vos, quia dilectionem Dei non habetis in vobis. + +** John 5:43 + +Ego veni in nomine Patris mei, et non accipitis me ; si alius venerit in nomine suo, illum accipietis. + +** John 5:44 + +Quomodo vos potestis credere, qui gloriam ab invicem accipitis, et gloriam quæ a solo Deo est, non quæritis ? + +** John 5:45 + +Nolite putare quia ego accusaturus sim vos apud Patrem : est qui accusat vos Moyses, in quo vos speratis. + +** John 5:46 + +Si enim crederetis Moysi, crederetis forsitan et mihi : de me enim ille scripsit. + +** John 5:47 + +Si autem illius litteris non creditis, quomodo verbis meis credetis ? + +* John 6 + +** John 6:1 + +Post hæc abiit Jesus trans mare Galilææ, quod est Tiberiadis : + +** John 6:2 + +et sequebatur eum multitudo magna, quia videbant signa quæ faciebat super his qui infirmabantur. + +** John 6:3 + +Subiit ergo in montem Jesus et ibi sedebat cum discipulis suis. + +** John 6:4 + +Erat autem proximum Pascha dies festus Judæorum. + +** John 6:5 + +Cum sublevasset ergo oculos Jesus, et vidisset quia multitudo maxima venit ad eum, dixit ad Philippum : Unde ememus panes, ut manducent hi ? + +** John 6:6 + +Hoc autem dicebat tentans eum : ipse enim sciebat quid esset facturus. + +** John 6:7 + +Respondit ei Philippus : Ducentorum denariorum panes non sufficiunt eis, ut unusquisque modicum quid accipiat. + +** John 6:8 + +Dicit ei unus ex discipulis ejus, Andreas, frater Simonis Petri : + +** John 6:9 + +Est puer unus hic qui habet quinque panes hordeaceos et duos pisces : sed hæc quid sunt inter tantos ? + +** John 6:10 + +Dixit ergo Jesus : Facite homines discumbere.

Calicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non bibam illum ? + +** John 18:12 + +Cohors ergo, et tribunus, et ministri Judæorum comprehenderunt Jesum, et ligaverunt eum. + +** John 18:13 + +Et adduxerunt eum ad Annam primum : erat enim socer Caiphæ, qui erat pontifex anni illius. + +** John 18:14 + +Erat autem Caiphas, qui consilium dederat Judæis : Quia expedit unum hominem mori pro populo. + +** John 18:15 + +Sequebatur autem Jesum Simon Petrus, et alius discipulus. Discipulus autem ille erat notus pontifici, et introivit cum Jesu in atrium pontificis. + +** John 18:16 + +Petrus autem stabat ad ostium foris. Exivit ergo discipulus alius, qui erat notus pontifici, et dixit ostiariæ : et introduxit Petrum. + +** John 18:17 + +Dicit ergo Petro ancilla ostiaria : Numquid et tu ex discipulis es hominis istius ?

Dixerunt ergo ei Judæi : Nobis non licet interficere quemquam. + +** John 18:32 + +Ut sermo Jesu impleretur, quem dixit, significans qua morte esset moriturus. + +** John 18:33 + +Introivit ergo iterum in prætorium Pilatus : et vocavit Jesum, et dixit ei : Tu es rex Judæorum ? + +** John 18:34 + +Respondit Jesus : A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me ? + +** John 18:35 + +Respondit Pilatus : Numquid ego Judæus sum ? gens tua et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi : quid fecisti ? + +** John 18:36 + +Respondit Jesus : Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, ministri mei utique decertarent ut non traderer Judæis : nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc. + +** John 18:37 + +Dixit itaque ei Pilatus : Ergo rex es tu ?

Crevitque puer, et benedixit ei Dominus. + +** Judges 13:25 + +Cœpitque spiritus Domini esse cum eo in castris Dan inter Saraa et Esthaol. + +* Judges 14 + +** Judges 14:1 + +Descendit ergo Samson in Thamnatha : vidensque ibi mulierem de filiabus Philisthiim, + +** Judges 14:2 + +ascendit, et nuntiavit patri suo et matri suæ, dicens : Vidi mulierem in Thamnatha de filiabus Philisthinorum : quam quæso ut mihi accipiatis uxorem. + +** Judges 14:3 + +Cui dixerunt pater et mater sua : Numquid non est mulier in filiabus fratrum tuorum, et in omni populo meo, quia vis accipere uxorem de Philisthiim, qui incircumcisi sunt ? Dixitque Samson ad patrem suum : Hanc mihi accipe : quia placuit oculis meis. + +** Judges 14:4 + +Parentes autem ejus nesciebant quod res a Domino fieret, et quæreret occasionem contra Philisthiim : eo enim tempore Philisthiim dominabantur Israëli. + +** Judges 14:5 + +Descendit itaque Samson cum patre suo et matre in Thamnatha. Cumque venissent ad vineas oppidi, apparuit catulus leonis sævus, et rugiens, et occurrit ei. + +** Judges 14:6 + +Irruit autem spiritus Domini in Samson, et dilaceravit leonem, quasi hædum in frustra discerpens, nihil omnino habens in manu : et hoc patri et matri noluit indicare. + +** Judges 14:7 + +Descenditque, et locutus est mulieri quæ placuerat oculis ejus. + +** Judges 14:8 + +Et post aliquot dies revertens ut acciperet eam, declinavit ut videret cadaver leonis, et ecce examen apum in ore leonis erat ac favus mellis. + +** Judges 14:9 + +Quem cum sumpsisset in manibus comedebat in via : veniensque ad patrem suum et matrem, dedit eis partem, qui et ipsi comederunt : nec tamen eis voluit indicare quod mel de corpore leonis assumpserat. + +** Judges 14:10 + +Descendit itaque pater ejus ad mulierem, et fecit filio suo Samson convivium : sic enim juvenes facere consueverant. + +** Judges 14:11 + +Cum ergo cives loci illius vidissent eum, dederunt ei sodales triginta ut essent cum eo. + +** Judges 14:12 + +Quibus locutus est Samson : Proponam vobis problema : quod si solveritis mihi intra septem dies convivii, dabo vobis triginta sindones, et totidem tunicas : + +** Judges 14:13 + +sin autem non potueritis solvere, vos dabitis mihi triginta sindones, et ejusdem numeri tunicas. Qui responderunt ei : Propone problema, ut audiamus. + +** Judges 14:14 + +Dixitque eis : De comedente exivit cibus, et de forti egressa est dulcedo. Nec potuerunt per tres dies propositionem solvere. + +** Judges 14:15 + +Cumque adesset dies septimus, dixerunt ad uxorem Samson : Blandire viro tuo et suade ei ut indicet tibi quid significet problema : quod si facere nolueris, incendemus te, et domum patris tui : an idcirco vocastis nos ad nuptias ut spoliaretis ? + +** Judges 14:16 + +Quæ fundebat apud Samson lacrimas, et quærebatur, dicens : Odisti me, et non diligis : idcirco problema, quod proposuisti filiis populi mei, non vis mihi exponere. At ille respondit : Patri meo et matri nolui dicere : et tibi indicare potero ? + +** Judges 14:17 + +Septem igitur diebus convivii flebat ante eum : tandemque die septimo cum ei esset molesta, exposuit. Quæ statim indicavit civibus suis. + +** Judges 14:18 + +Et illi dixerunt ei die septimo ante solis occubitum : Quid dulcius melle, et quid fortius leone ? Qui ait ad eos : Si non arassetis in vitula mea, non invenissetis propositionem meam. + +** Judges 14:19 + +Irruit itaque in eum spiritus Domini, descenditque Ascalonem, et percussit ibi triginta viros : quorum ablatas vestes dedit iis qui problema solverant. Iratusque nimis ascendit in domum patris sui : + +** Judges 14:20 + +uxor autem ejus accepit maritum unum de amicis ejus et pronubis. + +* Judges 15 + +** Judges 15:1 + +Post aliquantulum autem temporis, cum dies triticeæ messis instarent, venit Samson, invisere volens uxorem suam, et attulit ei hædum de capris. Cumque cubiculum ejus solito vellet intrare, prohibuit eum pater illius, dicens : + +** Judges 15:2 + +Putavi quod odisses eam, et ideo tradidi illam amico tuo : sed habet sororem, quæ junior et pulchrior illa est : sit tibi pro ea uxor. + +** Judges 15:3 + +Cui Samson respondit : Ab hac die non erit culpa in me contra Philisthæos : faciam enim vobis mala. + +** Judges 15:4 + +Perrexitque et cepit trecentas vulpes, caudasque earum junxit ad caudas, et faces ligavit in medio : + +** Judges 15:5 + +quas igne succendens, dimisit ut huc illucque discurrerent. Quæ statim perrexerunt in segetes Philisthinorum. Quibus succensis, et comportatæ jam fruges, et adhuc stantes in stipula, concrematæ sunt, in tantum ut vineas quoque et oliveta flamma consumeret. + +** Judges 15:6 + +Dixeruntque Philisthiim : Quis fecit hanc rem ? Quibus dictum est : Samson gener Thamnathæi : quia tulit uxorem ejus, et alteri tradidit, hæc operatus est. Ascenderuntque Philisthiim, et combusserunt tam mulierem quam patrem ejus. + +** Judges 15:7 + +Quibus ait Samson : Licet hæc feceritis, tamen adhuc ex vobis expetam ultionem, et tunc quiescam. + +** Judges 15:8 + +Percussitque eos ingenti plaga, ita ut stupentes suram femori imponerent. Et descendens habitavit in spelunca petræ Etam. + +** Judges 15:9 + +Igitur ascendentes Philisthiim in terram Juda, castrametati sunt in loco, qui postea vocatus est Lechi, id est, Maxilla, ubi eorum effusus est exercitus. + +** Judges 15:10 + +Dixeruntque ad eos de tribu Juda : Cur ascendistis adversum nos ? Qui responderunt : Ut ligemus Samson venimus, et reddamus ei quæ in nos operatus est. + +** Judges 15:11 + +Descenderunt ergo tria millia virorum de Juda ad specum silicis Etam, dixeruntque ad Samson : Nescis quod Philisthiim imperent nobis ? quare hoc facere voluisti ? Quibus ille ait : Sicut fecerunt mihi, sic feci eis. + +** Judges 15:12 + +Ligare, inquiunt, te venimus, et tradere in manus Philisthinorum. Quibus Samson : Jurate, ait, et spondete mihi quod non occidatis me. + +** Judges 15:13 + +Dixerunt : Non te occidemus, sed vinctum trademus. Ligaveruntque eum duobus novis funibus, et tulerunt eum de petra Etam. + +** Judges 15:14 + +Qui cum venisset ad locum Maxillæ, et Philisthiim vociferantes occurrissent ei, irruit spiritus Domini in eum : et sicut solent ad odorem ignis lina consumi, ita vincula, quibus ligatus erat, dissipata sunt et soluta. + +** Judges 15:15 + +Inventamque maxillam, id est, mandibulam asini, quæ jacebat, arripiens interfecit in ea mille viros, + +** Judges 15:16 + +et ait : In maxilla asini, in mandibula pulli asinarum, delevi eos, et percussi mille viros. + +** Judges 15:17 + +Cumque hæc verba canens complesset, projecit mandibulam de manu, et vocavit nomen loci illius Ramathlechi, quod interpretatur, Elevatio maxillæ. + +** Judges 15:18 + +Sitiensque valde, clamavit ad Dominum, et ait : Tu dedisti in manu servi tui salutem hanc maximam atque victoriam : en siti morior, incidamque in manus incircumcisorum. + +** Judges 15:19 + +Aperuit itaque Dominus molarem dentem in maxilla asini, et egressæ sunt ex eo aquæ.

Idcirco appellatum est nomen loci illius, Fons invocantis de maxilla, usque in præsentem diem. + +** Judges 15:20 + +Judicavitque Israël in diebus Philisthiim viginti annis. + +* Judges 16 + +** Judges 16:1 + +Abiit quoque in Gazam, et vidit ibi mulierem meretricem, ingressusque est ad eam. + +** Judges 16:2 + +Quod cum audissent Philisthiim, et percrebruisset apud eos intrasse urbem Samson, circumdederunt eum, positis in porta civitatis custodibus : et ibi tota nocte cum silentio præstolantes, ut facto mane exeuntem occiderent. + +** Judges 16:3 + +Dormivit autem Samson usque ad medium noctem : et inde consurgens, apprehendit ambas portæ fores cum postibus suis et sera, impositasque humeris suis portavit ad verticem montis, qui respicit Hebron. + +** Judges 16:4 + +Post hæc amavit mulierem, quæ habitabat in valle Sorec, et vocabatur Dalila. + +** Judges 16:5 + +Veneruntque ad eam principes Philisthinorum, atque dixerunt : Decipe eum, et disce ab illo, in quo habeat tantam fortitudinem, et quomodo eum superare valeamus, et vinctum affligere : quod si feceris, dabimus tibi singuli mille et centum argenteos. + +** Judges 16:6 + +Locuta est ergo Dalila ad Samson : Dic mihi, obsecro, in quo sit tua maxima fortitudo, et quid sit quo ligatus erumpere nequeas ? + +** Judges 16:7 + +Cui respondit Samson : Si septem nerviceis funibus necdum siccis, et adhuc humentibus, ligatus fuero, infirmus ero ut ceteri homines. + +** Judges 16:8 + +Attuleruntque ad eam satrapæ Philisthinorum septem funes, ut dixerat : quibus vinxit eum, + +** Judges 16:9 + +latentibus apud se insidiis, et in cubiculo finem rei expectantibus : clamavitque ad eum : Philisthiim super te, Samson. Qui rupit vincula, quomodo si rumpat quis filum de stuppæ tortum putamine, cum odorem ignis acceperit : et non est cognitum in quo esset fortitudo ejus. + +** Judges 16:10 + +Dixitque ad eum Dalila : Ecce illusisti mihi, et falsum locutus es : saltem nunc indica mihi quo ligari debeas. + +** Judges 16:11 + +Cui ille respondit : Si ligatus fuero novis funibus, qui numquam fuerunt in opere, infirmus ero, et aliorum hominum similis. + +** Judges 16:12 + +Quibus rursum Dalila vinxit eum, et clamavit : Philisthiim super te, Samson : in cubiculo insidiis præparatis. Qui ita rupit vincula quasi fila telarum. + +** Judges 16:13 + +Dixitque Dalila rursum ad eum : Usquequo decipis me, et falsum loqueris ? ostende quo vinciri debeas. Cui respondit Samson : Si septem crines capitis mei cum licio plexueris, et clavum his circumligatum terræ fixeris, infirmus ero. + +** Judges 16:14 + +Quod cum fecisset Dalila, dixit ad eum : Philisthiim super te, Samson. Qui consurgens de somno extraxit clavum cum crinibus et licio. + +** Judges 16:15 + +Dixitque ad eum Dalila : Quomodo dicis quod amas me, cum animus tuus non sit mecum ? Per tres vices mentitus es mihi, et noluisti dicere in quo sit maxima fortitudo tua. + +** Judges 16:16 + +Cumque molesta esset ei, et per multos dies jugiter adhæreret, spatium ad quietem non tribuens, defecit anima ejus, et ad mortem usque lassata est. + +** Judges 16:17 + +Tunc aperiens veritatem rei, dixit ad eam : Ferrum numquam ascendit super caput meum, quia nazaræus, id est, consecratus Deo, sum de utero matris meæ : si rasum fuerit caput meum, recedet a me fortitudo mea, et deficiam, eroque sicut ceteri homines. + +** Judges 16:18 + +Vidensque illa quod confessus ei esset omnem animum suum, misit ad principes Philisthinorum ac mandavit : Ascende adhuc semel, quia nunc mihi aperuit cor suum. Qui ascenderunt assumpta pecunia, quam promiserant. + +** Judges 16:19 + +At illa dormire eum fecit super genua sua, et in sinu suo reclinare caput. Vocavitque tonsorem, et rasit septem crines ejus, et cœpit abigere eum, et a se repellere : statim enim ab eo fortitudo discessit. + +** Judges 16:20 + +Dixitque : Philisthiim super te, Samson. Qui de somno consurgens, dixit in animo suo : Egrediar sicut ante feci, et me excutiam : nesciens quod recessisset ab eo Dominus. + +** Judges 16:21 + +Quem cum apprehendissent Philisthiim, statim eruerunt oculos ejus, et duxerunt Gazam vinctum catenis, et clausum in carcere molere fecerunt. + +** Judges 16:22 + +Jamque capilli ejus renasci cœperunt. + +** Judges 16:23 + +Et principes Philisthinorum convenerunt in unum ut immolarent hostias magnificas Dagon deo suo, et epularentur, dicentes : Tradidit deus noster inimicum nostrum Samson in manus nostras. + +** Judges 16:24 + +Quod etiam populus videns, laudabat deum suum, eademque dicebat : Tradidit deus noster adversarium nostrum in manus nostras, qui delevit terram nostram, et occidit plurimos. + +** Judges 16:25 + +Lætantesque per convivia, sumptis jam epulis, præceperunt ut vocaretur Samson, et ante eos luderet. Qui adductus de carcere ludebat ante eos, feceruntque eum stare inter duas columnas. + +** Judges 16:26 + +Qui dixit puero regenti gressus suos : Dimitte me, ut tangam columnas, quibus omnis imminet domus, et recliner super eas, et paululum requiescam. + +** Judges 16:27 + +Domus autem erat plena virorum ac mulierum, et erant ibi omnes principes Philisthinorum, ac de tecto et solario circiter tria millia utriusque sexus spectantes ludentem Samson. + +** Judges 16:28 + +At ille invocato Domino ait : Domine Deus, memento mei, et redde mihi nunc fortitudinem pristinam, Deus meus, ut ulciscar me de hostibus meis, et pro amissione duorum luminum unam ultionem recipiam. + +** Judges 16:29 + +Et apprehendens ambas columnas quibus innitebatur domus, alteramque earum dextera et alteram læva tenens, + +** Judges 16:30 + +ait : Moriatur anima mea cum Philisthiim. Concussisque fortiter columnis, cecidit domus super omnes principes, et ceteram multitudinem quæ ibi erat : multoque plures interfecit moriens, quam ante vivus occiderat. + +** Judges 16:31 + +Descendentes autem fratres ejus et universa cognatio, tulerunt corpus ejus, et sepelierunt inter Saraa et Esthaol in sepulchro patris sui Manue : judicavitque Israël viginti annis. + +* Judges 17 + +** Judges 17:1 + +Fuit eo tempore vir quidam de monte Ephraim nomine Michas, + +** Judges 17:2 + +qui dixit matri suæ : Mille et centum argenteos, quos separaveras tibi, et super quibus me audiente juraveras, ecce ego habeo, et apud me sunt. Cui illa respondit : Benedictus filius meus Domino. + +** Judges 17:3 + +Reddidit ergo eos matri suæ, quæ dixerat ei : Consecravi et vovi hoc argentum Domino, ut de manu mea suscipiat filius meus, et faciat sculptile atque conflatile : et nunc trado illud tibi. + +** Judges 17:4 + +Reddidit igitur eos matri suæ : quæ tulit ducentos argenteos, et dedit eos argentario, ut faceret ex eis sculptile atque conflatile, quod fuit in domo Michæ. + +** Judges 17:5 + +Qui ædiculam quoque in ea deo separavit, et fecit ephod, et theraphim, id est, vestem sacerdotalem, et idola : implevitque unius filiorum suorum manum, et factus est ei sacerdos. + +** Judges 17:6 + +In diebus illis non erat rex in Israël, sed unusquisque quod sibi rectum videbatur, hoc faciebat. + +** Judges 17:7 + +Fuit quoque alter adolescens de Bethlehem Juda, ex cognatione ejus : eratque ipse Levites, et habitabat ibi. + +** Judges 17:8 + +Egressusque de civitate Bethlehem, peregrinari voluit ubicumque sibi commodum reperisset.

quæ etiam sit virtus eorum, aut quæ sit multitudo eorum, vel quis rex militiæ illorum : + +** Judith 5:4 + +et quare præ omnibus qui habitant in oriente, isti contempserunt nos, et non exierunt obviam nobis ut susciperent nos cum pace ? + +** Judith 5:5 + +Tunc Achior dux omnium filiorum Ammon respondens, ait : Si digneris audire, domine mi, dicam veritatem in conspectu tuo de populo isto qui in montanis habitat, et non egredietur verbum falsum ex ore meo. + +** Judith 5:6 + +Populus iste ex progenie Chaldæorum est. + +** Judith 5:7 + +Hic primum in Mesopotamia habitavit, quoniam noluerunt sequi deos patrum suorum, qui erant in terra Chaldæorum. + +** Judith 5:8 + +Deserentes itaque cæremonias patrum suorum, quæ in multitudine deorum erant, + +** Judith 5:9 + +unum Deum cæli coluerunt, qui et præcepit eis ut exirent inde et habitarent in Charan. Cumque operuisset omnem terram fames, descenderunt in Ægyptum, illicque per quadringentos annos sic multiplicati sunt, ut dinumerari eorum non posset exercitus. + +** Judith 5:10 + +Cumque gravaret eos rex Ægypti, atque in ædificationibus urbium suarum in luto et latere subjugasset eos, clamaverunt ad Dominum suum, et percussit totam terram Ægypti plagis variis. + +** Judith 5:11 + +Cumque ejecissent eos Ægyptii a se, et cessasset plaga ab eis, et iterum eos vellent capere, et ad suum servitium revocare, + +** Judith 5:12 + +fugientibus his, Deus cæli mare aperuit, ita ut hinc inde aquæ quasi murus solidarentur, et isti pede sicco fundum maris perambulando transirent. + +** Judith 5:13 + +In quo loco dum innumerabilis exercitus Ægyptiorum eos persequeretur, ita aquis coopertus est, ut non remaneret vel unus, qui factum posteris nuntiaret. + +** Judith 5:14 + +Egressi vero mare Rubrum, deserta Sina montis occupaverunt, in quibus numquam homo habitare potuit, vel filius hominis requievit. + +** Judith 5:15 + +Illic fontes amari obdulcati sunt eis ad bibendum, et per annos quadraginta annonam de cælo consecuti sunt. + +** Judith 5:16 + +Ubicumque ingressi sunt sine arcu et sagitta, et absque scuto et gladio, Deus eorum pugnavit pro eis, et vicit. + +** Judith 5:17 + +Et non fuit qui insultaret populo isti, nisi quando recessit a cultu Domini Dei sui. + +** Judith 5:18 + +Quotiescumque autem præter ipsum Deum suum, alterum coluerunt, dati sunt in prædam, et in gladium, et in opprobrium. + +** Judith 5:19 + +Quotiescumque autem pœnituerunt se recessisse a cultura Dei sui, dedit eis Deus cæli virtutem resistendi. + +** Judith 5:20 + +Denique Chananæum regem, et Jebusæum, et Pherezæum, et Hethæum, et Hevæum, et Amorrhæum, et omnes potentes in Hesebon prostraverunt, et terras eorum et civitates eorum ipsi possederunt : + +** Judith 5:21 + +et usque dum non peccarent in conspectu Dei sui, erant cum illis bona : Deus enim illorum odit iniquitatem. + +** Judith 5:22 + +Nam et ante hos annos cum recessissent a via quam dederat illis Deus ut ambularent in ea, exterminati sunt præliis a multis nationibus, et plurimi eorum captivi abducti sunt in terram non suam. + +** Judith 5:23 + +Nuper autem reversi ad Dominum Deum suum, ex dispersione qua dispersi fuerant, adunati sunt, et ascenderunt montana hæc omnia, et iterum possident Jerusalem, ubi sunt sancta eorum. + +** Judith 5:24 + +Nunc ergo mi domine, perquire si est aliqua iniquitas eorum in conspectu Dei eorum : ascendamus ad illos, quoniam tradens tradet illos Deus eorum tibi, et subjugati erunt sub jugo potentiæ tuæ. + +** Judith 5:25 + +Si vero non est offensio populi hujus coram Deo suo, non poterimus resistere illis, quoniam Deus eorum defendet illos : et erimus in opprobrium universæ terræ. + +** Judith 5:26 + +Et factum est, cum cessasset loqui Achior verba hæc, irati sunt omnes magnates Holofernis, et cogitabant interficere eum, dicentes ad alterutrum : + +** Judith 5:27 + +Quis est iste, qui filios Israël posse dicat resistere regi Nabuchodonosor et exercitibus ejus, homines inermes, et sine virtute, et sine peritia artis pugnæ ? + +** Judith 5:28 + +Ut ergo agnoscat Achior quoniam fallit nos, ascendamus in montana : et cum capti fuerint potentes eorum, tunc cum eisdem gladio transverberabitur : + +** Judith 5:29 + +ut sciat omnis gens quoniam Nabuchodonosor deus terræ est, et præter ipsum alius non est. + +* Judith 6 + +** Judith 6:1 + +Factum est autem cum cessassent loqui, indignatus Holofernes vehementer, dixit ad Achior : + +** Judith 6:2 + +Quoniam prophetasti nobis, dicens quod gens Israël defendatur a Deo suo, ut ostendam tibi quoniam non est deus nisi Nabuchodonosor, + +** Judith 6:3 + +cum percusserimus eos omnes, sicut hominem unum, tunc et ipse cum illis Assyriorum gladio interibis, et omnis Israël tecum perditione disperiet : + +** Judith 6:4 + +et probabis quoniam Nabuchodonosor dominus sit universæ terræ : tuncque gladius militiæ meæ transiet per latera tua, et confixus cades inter vulneratos Israël, et non respirabis ultra, donec extermineris cum illis. + +** Judith 6:5 + +Porro autem si prophetiam tuam veram existimas, non concidat vultus tuus : et pallor qui faciem tuam obtinet abscedat a te, si verba mea hæc putas impleri non posse. + +** Judith 6:6 + +Ut autem noveris quia simul cum illis hæc experieris, ecce ex hac hora illorum populo sociaberis, ut, dum dignas mei gladii pœnas exceperint, ipse simul ultioni subjaceas. + +** Judith 6:7 + +Tunc Holofernes præcepit servis suis ut comprehenderent Achior, et perducerent eum in Bethuliam, et traderent eum in manus filiorum Israël. + +** Judith 6:8 + +Et accipientes eum servi Holofernis, profecti sunt per campestria : sed cum appropinquassent ad montana, exierunt contra eos fundibularii. + +** Judith 6:9 + +Illi autem divertentes a latere montis, ligaverunt Achior ad arborem manibus et pedibus, et sic vinctum restibus dimiserunt eum, et reversi sunt ad dominum suum. + +** Judith 6:10 + +Porro filii Israël descendentes de Bethulia, venerunt ad eum : quem solventes, duxerunt ad Bethuliam, atque in medium populi illum statuentes, percunctati sunt quid rerum esset quod illum vinctum Assyrii reliquissent. + +** Judith 6:11 + +In diebus illis erant illic principes Ozias filius Micha de tribu Simeon, et Charmi, qui et Gothoniel. + +** Judith 6:12 + +In medio itaque seniorum, et in conspectu omnium, Achior dixit omnia quæ locutus ipse fuerat ab Holoferne interrogatus : et qualiter populus Holofernis voluisset propter hoc verbum interficere eum, + +** Judith 6:13 + +et quemadmodum ipse Holofernes iratus jusserit eum Israëlitis hac de causa tradi, ut dum vicerit filios Israël, tunc et ipsum Achior diversis jubeat interire suppliciis, propter hoc quod dixisset : Deus cæli defensor eorum est. + +** Judith 6:14 + +Cumque Achior universa hæc exposuisset, omnis populus cecidit in faciem, adorantes Dominum, et communi lamentatione et fletu unanimes preces suas Domino effuderunt, + +** Judith 6:15 + +dicentes : Domine Deus cæli et terræ, intuere superbiam eorum, et respice ad nostram humilitatem, et faciem sanctorum tuorum attende, et ostende quoniam non derelinquis præsumentes de te : et præsumentes de se, et de sua virtute gloriantes, humilias. + +** Judith 6:16 + +Finito itaque fletu, et per totam diem oratione populorum completa, consolati sunt Achior, + +** Judith 6:17 + +dicentes : Deus patrum nostrorum, cujus tu virtutem prædicasti, ipse tibi hanc dabit vicissitudinem, ut eorum magis tu interitum videas. + +** Judith 6:18 + +Cum vero Dominus Deus noster dederit hanc libertatem servis suis, sit et tecum Deus in medio nostri : ut sicut placuerit tibi, ita cum tuis omnibus converseris nobiscum. + +** Judith 6:19 + +Tunc Ozias, finito consilio, suscepit eum in domum suam, et fecit ei cœnam magnam. + +** Judith 6:20 + +Et vocatis omnibus presbyteris, simul expleto jejunio refecerunt. + +** Judith 6:21 + +Postea vero convocatus est omnis populus, et per totam noctem intra ecclesiam oraverunt, petentes auxilium a Deo Israël. + +* Judith 7 + +** Judith 7:1 + +Holofernes autem altera die præcepit exercitibus suis ut ascenderent contra Bethuliam. + +** Judith 7:2 + +Erant autem pedites bellatorum centum viginti millia, et equites viginti duo millia, præter præparationes virorum illorum quos occupaverat captivitas, et abducti fuerant de provinciis et urbibus universæ juventutis. + +** Judith 7:3 + +Omnes paraverunt se pariter ad pugnam contra filios Israël, et venerunt per crepidinem montis usque ad apicem, qui respicit super Dothain, a loco qui dicitur Belma usque ad Chelmon, qui est contra Esdrelon. + +** Judith 7:4 + +Filii autem Israël, ut viderunt multitudinem illorum, prostraverunt se super terram, mittentes cinerem super capita sua, unanimes orantes ut Deus Israël misericordiam suam ostenderet super populum suum. + +** Judith 7:5 + +Et assumentes arma sua bellica, sederunt per loca quæ ad angusti itineris tramitem dirigunt inter montosa, et erant custodientes ea tota die et nocte. + +** Judith 7:6 + +Porro Holofernes, dum circuit per gyrum, reperit quod fons qui influebat, aquæductum illorum a parte australi extra civitatem dirigeret : et incidi præcepit aquæductum illorum. + +** Judith 7:7 + +Erant tamen non longe a muris fontes, ex quibus furtim videbantur haurire aquam ad refocillandum potius quam ad potandum. + +** Judith 7:8 + +Sed filii Ammon et Moab accesserunt ad Holofernem, dicentes : Filii Israël non in lancea nec in sagitta confidunt, sed montes defendunt illos, et muniunt illos colles in præcipitio constituti. + +** Judith 7:9 + +Ut ergo sine congressione pugnæ possis superare eos, pone custodes fontium, ut non hauriant aquam ex eis, et sine gladio interficies eos, vel certe fatigati tradent civitatem suam, quam putant in montibus positam superari non posse. + +** Judith 7:10 + +Et placuerunt verba hæc coram Holoferne et coram satellitibus ejus, et constituit per gyrum centenarios per singulos fontes. + +** Judith 7:11 + +Cumque ista custodia per dies viginti fuisset expleta, defecerunt cisternæ et collectiones aquarum omnibus habitantibus Bethuliam, ita ut non esset intra civitatem unde satiarentur vel una die, quoniam ad mensuram dabatur populis aqua quotidie. + +** Judith 7:12 + +Tunc ad Oziam congregati omnes viri feminæque, juvenes et parvuli, omnes simul una voce + +** Judith 7:13 + +dixerunt : Judicet Deus inter nos et te, quoniam fecisti in nos mala, nolens loqui pacifice cum Assyriis, et propter hoc vendidit nos Deus in manibus eorum. + +** Judith 7:14 + +Et ideo non est qui adjuvet, cum prosternamur ante oculos eorum in siti, et perditione magna. + +** Judith 7:15 + +Et nunc congregate universos qui in civitate sunt, ut sponte tradamus nos omnes populo Holofernis. + +** Judith 7:16 + +Melius est enim ut captivi benedicamus Dominum viventes, quam moriamur, et simus opprobrium omni carni, cum viderimus uxores nostras et infantes nostros mori ante oculos nostros. + +** Judith 7:17 + +Contestamur hodie cælum et terram, et Deum patrum nostrorum, qui ulciscitur nos secundum peccata nostra, ut jam tradatis civitatem in manu militiæ Holofernis, et sit finis noster brevis in ore gladii, qui longior efficitur in ariditate sitis. + +** Judith 7:18 + +Et cum hæc dixissent, factus est fletus et ululatus magnus in ecclesia ab omnibus, et per multas horas una voce clamaverunt ad Deum, dicentes : + +** Judith 7:19 + +Peccavimus cum patribus nostris : injuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus. + +** Judith 7:20 + +Tu, quia pius es, miserere nostri, aut in tuo flagello vindica iniquitates nostras, et noli tradere confitentes te populo qui ignorat te, + +** Judith 7:21 + +ut non dicant inter gentes : Ubi est Deus eorum ? + +** Judith 7:22 + +Et cum fatigati ex his clamoribus et his fletibus lassati siluissent, + +** Judith 7:23 + +exsurgens Ozias infusus lacrimis, dixit : Æquo animo estote, fratres, et hos quinque dies expectemus a Domino misericordiam. + +** Judith 7:24 + +Forsitan enim indignationem suam abscindet, et dabit gloriam nomini suo. + +** Judith 7:25 + +Si autem transactis quinque diebus non venerit adjutorium, faciemus hæc verba quæ locuti estis. + +* Judith 8 + +** Judith 8:1 + +Et factum est cum audisset hæc verba Judith vidua, quæ erat filia Merari filii Idox filii Joseph filii Oziæ filii Elai filii Jamnor filii Gedeon filii Raphaim filii Achitob filii Melchiæ filii Enan filii Nathaniæ filii Salathiel filii Simeon filii Ruben, + +** Judith 8:2 + +et vir ejus fuit Manasses, qui mortuus est in diebus messis hordeaceæ : + +** Judith 8:3 + +instabat enim super alligantes manipulos in campo, et venit æstus super caput ejus, et mortuus est in Bethulia civitate sua, et sepultus est illic cum patribus suis. + +** Judith 8:4 + +Erat autem Judith relicta ejus vidua jam annis tribus et mensibus sex. + +** Judith 8:5 + +Et in superioribus domus suæ fecit sibi secretum cubiculum, in quo cum puellis suis clausa morabatur, + +** Judith 8:6 + +et habens super lumbos suos cilicium, jejunabat omnibus diebus vitæ suæ, præter sabbata et neomenias et festa domus Israël. + +** Judith 8:7 + +Erat autem eleganti aspectu nimis, cui vir suus reliquerat divitias multas, et familiam copiosam, ac possessiones armentis boum, et gregibus ovium plenas. + +** Judith 8:8 + +Et erat hæc in omnibus famosissima, quoniam timebat Dominum valde, nec erat qui loqueretur de illa verbum malum. + +** Judith 8:9 + +Hæc itaque cum audisset quoniam Ozias promisisset quod transacto quinto die traderet civitatem, misit ad presbyteros Chabri et Charmi. + +** Judith 8:10 + +Et venerunt ad illam, et dixit illis : Quod est hoc verbum, in quo consensit Ozias, ut tradat civitatem Assyriis si intra quinque dies non venerit vobis adjutorium ? + +** Judith 8:11 + +et qui estis vos, qui tentatis Dominum ? + +** Judith 8:12 + +non est iste sermo qui misericordiam provocet, sed potius qui iram excitet, et furorem accendat. + +** Judith 8:13 + +Posuistis vos tempus miserationis Domini, et in arbitrium vestrum, diem constituistis ei. + +** Judith 8:14 + +Sed quia patiens Dominus est, in hoc ipso pœniteamus, et indulgentiam ejus fusis lacrimis postulemus : + +** Judith 8:15 + +non enim quasi homo sic Deus comminabitur, neque sicut filius hominis ad iracundiam inflammabitur. + +** Judith 8:16 + +Et ideo humiliemus illi animas nostras, et in spiritu constituti humiliato, servientes illi + +** Judith 8:17 + +dicamus flentes Domino, ut secundum voluntatem suam sic faciat nobiscum misericordiam suam : ut sicut conturbatum est cor nostrum in superbia eorum, ita etiam de nostra humilitate gloriemur : + +** Judith 8:18 + +quoniam non sumus secuti peccata patrum nostrorum, qui dereliquerunt Deum suum, et adoraverunt deos alienos, + +** Judith 8:19 + +pro quo scelere dati sunt in gladium, et in rapinam, et in confusionem inimicis suis : nos autem alterum deum nescimus præter ipsum. + +** Judith 8:20 + +Expectemus humiles consolationem ejus, et exquiret sanguinem nostrum de afflictionibus inimicorum nostrorum, et humiliabit omnes gentes, quæcumque insurgunt contra nos, et faciet illas sine honore Dominus Deus noster. + +** Judith 8:21 + +Et nunc fratres, quoniam vos estis presbyteri in populo Dei, et ex vobis pendet anima illorum, ad eloquium vestrum corda eorum erigite, ut memores sint quia tentati sunt patres nostri, ut probarentur si vere colerent Deum suum. + +** Judith 8:22 + +Memores esse debent quomodo pater noster Abraham tentatus est, et per multas tribulationes probatus, Dei amicus effectus est. + +** Judith 8:23 + +Sic Isaac, sic Jacob, sic Moyses, et omnes qui placuerunt Deo, per multas tribulationes transierunt fideles. + +** Judith 8:24 + +Illi autem qui tentationes non susceperunt cum timore Domini, et impatientiam suam et improperium murmurationis suæ contra Dominum protulerunt, + +** Judith 8:25 + +exterminati sunt ab exterminatore, et a serpentibus perierunt. + +** Judith 8:26 + +Et nos ergo non ulciscamur nos pro his quæ patimur, + +** Judith 8:27 + +sed reputantes peccatis nostris hæc ipsa supplicia minora esse flagella Domini, quibus quasi servi corripimur ad emendationem, et non ad perditionem nostram evenisse credamus. + +** Judith 8:28 + +Et dixerunt illi Ozias et presbyteri : Omnia quæ locuta es, vera sunt, et non est in sermonibus tuis ulla reprehensio. + +** Judith 8:29 + +Nunc ergo ora pro nobis, quoniam mulier sancta es, et timens Deum. + +** Judith 8:30 + +Et dixit illis Judith : Sicut quod potui loqui, Dei esse cognoscitis, + +** Judith 8:31 + +ita quod facere disposui, probate si ex Deo est, et orate ut firmum faciat Deus consilium meum. + +** Judith 8:32 + +Stabitis vos ad portam nocte ista, et ego exeam cum abra mea : et orate, ut sicut dixistis, in diebus quinque respiciat Dominus populum suum Israël. + +** Judith 8:33 + +Vos autem nolo ut scrutemini actum meum, et usque dum renuntiem vobis, nihil aliud fiat, nisi oratio pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum. + +** Judith 8:34 + +Et dixit ad eam Ozias princeps Juda : Vade in pace, et Dominus sit tecum in ultionem inimicorum nostrorum. Et revertentes abierunt. + +* Judith 9 + +** Judith 9:1 + +Quibus ascendentibus, Judith ingressa est oratorium suum : et induens se cilicio, posuit cinerem super caput suum : et prosternens se Domino, clamabat ad Dominum, dicens : + +** Judith 9:2 + +Domine Deus patris mei Simeon, qui dedisti illi gladium in defensionem alienigenarum, qui violatores extiterunt in coinquinatione sua, et denudaverunt femur virginis in confusionem : + +** Judith 9:3 + +et dedisti mulieres illorum in prædam, et filias illorum in captivitatem : et omnem prædam in divisionem servis tuis, qui zelaverunt zelum tuum : subveni, quæso te, Domine Deus meus, mihi viduæ. + +** Judith 9:4 + +Tu enim fecisti priora, et illa post illa cogitasti : et hoc factum est quod ipse voluisti. + +** Judith 9:5 + +Omnes enim viæ tuæ paratæ sunt, et tua judicia in tua providentia posuisti. + +** Judith 9:6 + +Respice castra Assyriorum nunc, sicut tunc castra Ægyptiorum videre dignatus es, quando post servos tuos armati currebant, confidentes in quadrigis, et in equitatu suo, et in multitudine bellatorum. + +** Judith 9:7 + +Sed aspexisti super castra eorum, et tenebræ fatigaverunt eos. + +** Judith 9:8 + +Tenuit pedes eorum abyssus, et aquæ operuerunt eos. + +** Judith 9:9 + +Sic fiant et isti, Domine, qui confidunt in multitudine sua, et in curribus suis, et in contis, et in scutis, et in sagittis suis, et in lanceis gloriantur, + +** Judith 9:10 + +et nesciunt quia tu ipse es Deus noster, qui conteris bella ab initio, et Dominus nomen est tibi. + +** Judith 9:11 + +Erige brachium tuum sicut ab initio, et allide virtutem illorum in virtute tua : cadat virtus eorum in iracundia tua, qui promittunt se violare sancta tua, et polluere tabernaculum nominis tui, et dejicere gladio suo cornu altaris tui. + +** Judith 9:12 + +Fac, Domine, ut gladio proprio ejus superbia amputetur : + +** Judith 9:13 + +capiatur laqueo oculorum suorum in me, et percuties eum ex labiis caritatis meæ. + +** Judith 9:14 + +Da mihi in animo constantiam ut contemnam illum, et virtutem, ut evertam illum. + +** Judith 9:15 + +Erit enim hoc memoriale nominis tui, cum manus feminæ dejecerit eum. + +** Judith 9:16 + +Non enim in multitudine est virtus tua, Domine, neque in equorum viribus voluntas tua est, nec superbi ab initio placuerunt tibi : sed humilium et mansuetorum semper tibi placuit deprecatio. + +** Judith 9:17 + +Deus cælorum, creator aquarum, et Dominus totius creaturæ, exaudi me miseram deprecantem, et de tua misericordia præsumentem. + +** Judith 9:18 + +Memento, Domine, testamenti tui, et da verbum in ore meo, et in corde meo consilium corrobora, ut domus tua in sanctificatione tua permaneat : + +** Judith 9:19 + +et omnes gentes agnoscant quia tu es Deus, et non est alius præter te. + +* Judith 10 + +** Judith 10:1 + +Factum est autem, cum cessasset clamare ad Dominum, surrexit de loco in quo jacuerat prostrata ad Dominum. + +** Judith 10:2 + +Vocavitque abram suam, et descendens in domum suam, abstulit a se cilicium, et exuit se vestimentis viduitatis suæ, + +** Judith 10:3 + +et lavit corpus suum, et unxit se myro optimo, et discriminavit crinem capitis sui, et imposuit mitram super caput suum, et induit se vestimentis jucunditatis suæ, induitque sandalia pedibus suis, assumpsitque dextraliola, et lilia, et inaures, et annulos, et omnibus ornamentis suis ornavit se. + +** Judith 10:4 + +Cui etiam Dominus contulit splendorem : quoniam omnis ista compositio non ex libidine, sed ex virtute pendebat : et ideo Dominus hanc in illam pulchritudinem ampliavit, ut incomparabili decore omnium oculis appareret. + +** Judith 10:5 + +Imposuit itaque abræ suæ ascoperam vini, et vas olei, et polentam, et palathas, et panes, et caseum, et profecta est. + +** Judith 10:6 + +Cumque venissent ad portam civitatis, invenerunt expectantem Oziam et presbyteros civitatis. + +** Judith 10:7 + +Qui cum vidissent eam, stupentes mirati sunt nimis pulchritudinem ejus. + +** Judith 10:8 + +Nihil tamen interrogantes eam, dimiserunt transire, dicentes : Deus patrum nostrorum det tibi gratiam, et omne consilium tui cordis sua virtute corroboret, ut glorietur super te Jerusalem, et sit nomen tuum in numero sanctorum et justorum. + +** Judith 10:9 + +Et dixerunt hi qui illic erant omnes una voce : Fiat, fiat. + +** Judith 10:10 + +Judith vero orans Dominum, transivit per portas, ipsa et abra ejus. + +** Judith 10:11 + +Factum est autem cum descenderet montem, circa ortum diei, occurrerunt ei exploratores Assyriorum, et tenuerunt eam, dicentes : Unde venis ?

Et erat ibi homo, et manus ejus dextra erat arida. + +** Luke 6:7 + +Observabant autem scribæ et pharisæi si in sabbato curaret, ut invenirent unde accusarent eum. + +** Luke 6:8 + +Ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum : et ait homini qui habebat manum aridam : Surge, et sta in medium. Et surgens stetit. + +** Luke 6:9 + +Ait autem ad illos Jesus : Interrogo vos si licet sabbatis benefacere, an male : animam salvam facere, an perdere ? + +** Luke 6:10 + +Et circumspectis omnibus dixit homini : Extende manum tuam. Et extendit : et restituta est manus ejus. + +** Luke 6:11 + +Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia, et colloquebantur ad invicem, quidnam facerent Jesu. + +** Luke 6:12 + +Factum est autem in illis diebus, exiit in montem orare, et erat pernoctans in oratione Dei. + +** Luke 6:13 + +Et cum dies factus esset, vocavit discipulos suos : et elegit duodecim ex ipsis (quos et apostolos nominavit) : + +** Luke 6:14 + +Simonem, quem cognominavit Petrum, et Andream fratrem ejus, Jacobum, et Joannem, Philippum, et Bartholomæum, + +** Luke 6:15 + +Matthæum, et Thomam, Jacobum Alphæi, et Simonem, qui vocatur Zelotes, + +** Luke 6:16 + +et Judam Jacobi, et Judam Iscariotem, qui fuit proditor. + +** Luke 6:17 + +Et descendens cum illis, stetit in loco campestri, et turba discipulorum ejus, et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Judæa, et Jerusalem, et maritima, et Tyri, et Sidonis, + +** Luke 6:18 + +qui venerant ut audirent eum, et sanarentur a languoribus suis. Et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis, curabantur. + +** Luke 6:19 + +Et omnis turba quærebat eum tangere : quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes. + +** Luke 6:20 + +Et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulis suis, dicebat : Beati pauperes, quia vestrum est regnum Dei. + +** Luke 6:21 + +Beati qui nunc esuritis, quia saturabimini.

Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam : + +** Luke 7:27 + +hic est, de quo scriptum est : Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te. + +** Luke 7:28 + +Dico enim vobis : major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est : qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo. + +** Luke 7:29 + +Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis. + +** Luke 7:30 + +Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo. + +** Luke 7:31 + +Ait autem Dominus : Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus ? et cui similes sunt ? + +** Luke 7:32 + +Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus : Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis : lamentavimus, et non plorastis. + +** Luke 7:33 + +Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis : Dæmonium habet. + +** Luke 7:34 + +Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis : Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum. + +** Luke 7:35 + +Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis. + +** Luke 7:36 + +Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit. + +** Luke 7:37 + +Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti : + +** Luke 7:38 + +et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat. + +** Luke 7:39 + +Videns autem pharisæus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens : Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quæ et qualis est mulier, quæ tangit eum : quia peccatrix est. + +** Luke 7:40 + +Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum : Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait : Magister, dic. + +** Luke 7:41 + +Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori : unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta. + +** Luke 7:42 + +Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit ? + +** Luke 7:43 + +Respondens Simon dixit : Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei : Recte judicasti. + +** Luke 7:44 + +Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni : Vides hanc mulierem ? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti : hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit. + +** Luke 7:45 + +Osculum mihi non dedisti : hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos. + +** Luke 7:46 + +Oleo caput meum non unxisti : hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos. + +** Luke 7:47 + +Propter quod dico tibi : remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit. + +** Luke 7:48 + +Dixit autem ad illam : Remittuntur tibi peccata. + +** Luke 7:49 + +Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se : Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit ? + +** Luke 7:50 + +Dixit autem ad mulierem : Fides tua te salvam fecit : vade in pace. + +* Luke 8 + +** Luke 8:1 + +Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates, et castella prædicans, et evangelizans regnum Dei : et duodecim cum illo, + +** Luke 8:2 + +et mulieres aliquæ, quæ erant curatæ a spiritibus malignis et infirmantibus : Maria, quæ vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem dæmonia exierant, + +** Luke 8:3 + +et Joanna uxor Chusæ procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliæ multæ, quæ ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis. + +** Luke 8:4 + +Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem : + +** Luke 8:5 + +Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum. Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres cæli comederunt illud. + +** Luke 8:6 + +Et aliud cecidit supra petram : et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem. + +** Luke 8:7 + +Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortæ spinæ suffocaverunt illud. + +** Luke 8:8 + +Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam : et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Hæc dicens clamabat : Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat. + +** Luke 8:9 + +Interrogabant autem eum discipuli ejus, quæ esset hæc parabola. + +** Luke 8:10 + +Quibus ipse dixit : Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis : ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant. + +** Luke 8:11 + +Est autem hæc parabola : Semen est verbum Dei. + +** Luke 8:12 + +Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt : deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant. + +** Luke 8:13 + +Nam qui supra petram, qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum : et hi radices non habent : qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt. + +** Luke 8:14 + +Quod autem in spinas cecidit : hi sunt qui audierunt, et a sollicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitæ euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum. + +** Luke 8:15 + +Quod autem in bonam terram : hi sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia. + +** Luke 8:16 + +Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit : sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen. + +** Luke 8:17 + +Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur : nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat. + +** Luke 8:18 + +Videte ergo quomodo audiatis ? Qui enim habet, dabitur illi : et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo. + +** Luke 8:19 + +Venerunt autem ad illum mater et fratres ejus, et non poterant adire eum præ turba. + +** Luke 8:20 + +Et nuntiatum est illi : Mater tua et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre. + +** Luke 8:21 + +Qui respondens, dixit ad eos : Mater mea et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt et faciunt. + +** Luke 8:22 + +Factum est autem in una dierum : et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli ejus, et ait ad illos : Transfretemus trans stagnum. Et ascenderunt. + +** Luke 8:23 + +Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et complebantur, et periclitabantur. + +** Luke 8:24 + +Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes : Præceptor, perimus. At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquæ, et cessavit : et facta est tranquillitas. + +** Luke 8:25 + +Dixit autem illis : Ubi est fides vestra ? Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes : Quis putas hic est, quia et ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei ? + +** Luke 8:26 + +Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quæ est contra Galilæam. + +** Luke 8:27 + +Et cum egressus esset ad terram, occurrit illi vir quidam, qui habebat dæmonium jam temporibus multis, et vestimento non induebatur, neque in domo manebat, sed in monumentis. + +** Luke 8:28 + +Is, ut vidit Jesum, procidit ante illum : et exclamans voce magna, dixit : Quid mihi et tibi est, Jesu Fili Dei Altissimi ? obsecro te, ne me torqueas. + +** Luke 8:29 + +Præcipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. Et ruptis vinculis agebatur a dæmonio in deserta. + +** Luke 8:30 + +Interrogavit autem illum Jesus, dicens : Quod tibi nomen est ? At ille dixit : Legio : quia intraverant dæmonia multa in eum. + +** Luke 8:31 + +Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent. + +** Luke 8:32 + +Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte : et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis. + +** Luke 8:33 + +Exierunt ergo dæmonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos : et impetu abiit grex per præceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est. + +** Luke 8:34 + +Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in villas. + +** Luke 8:35 + +Exierunt autem videre quod factum est, et venerunt ad Jesum, et invenerunt hominem sedentem, a quo dæmonia exierant, vestitum ac sana mente, ad pedes ejus, et timuerunt. + +** Luke 8:36 + +Nuntiaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione : + +** Luke 8:37 + +et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis : quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est. + +** Luke 8:38 + +Et rogabat illum vir, a quo dæmonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Jesus, dicens : + +** Luke 8:39 + +Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus. Et abiit per universam civitatem, prædicans quanta illi fecisset Jesus. + +** Luke 8:40 + +Factum est autem cum rediisset Jesus, excepit illum turba : erunt enim omnes exspectantes eum. + +** Luke 8:41 + +Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Jairus, et ipse princeps synagogæ erat : et cecidit ad pedes Jesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum ejus, + +** Luke 8:42 + +quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et hæc moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur. + +** Luke 8:43 + +Et mulier quædam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quæ in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari : + +** Luke 8:44 + +accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti ejus : et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis ejus. + +** Luke 8:45 + +Et ait Jesus : Quis est, qui me tetigit ? Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant : Præceptor, turbæ te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis : Quis me tetigit ? + +** Luke 8:46 + +Et dicit Jesus : Tetigit me aliquis : nam ego novi virtutem de me exiisse. + +** Luke 8:47 + +Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes ejus : et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo : et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit. + +** Luke 8:48 + +At ipse dixit ei : Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit : vade in pace. + +** Luke 8:49 + +Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogæ, dicens ei : Quia mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum. + +** Luke 8:50 + +Jesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellæ : Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit. + +** Luke 8:51 + +Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et patrem, et matrem puellæ. + +** Luke 8:52 + +Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit : Nolite flere : non est mortua puella, sed dormit. + +** Luke 8:53 + +Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset. + +** Luke 8:54 + +Ipse autem tenens manum ejus clamavit, dicens : Puella, surge. + +** Luke 8:55 + +Et reversus est spiritus ejus, et surrexit continuo. Et jussit illi dari manducare. + +** Luke 8:56 + +Et stupuerunt parentes ejus, quibus præcepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat. + +* Luke 9 + +** Luke 9:1 + +Convocatis autem duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia dæmonia, et ut languores curarent. + +** Luke 9:2 + +Et misit illos prædicare regnum Dei, et sanare infirmos. + +** Luke 9:3 + +Et ait ad illos : Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis. + +** Luke 9:4 + +Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis. + +** Luke 9:5 + +Et quicumque non receperint vos : exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos. + +** Luke 9:6 + +Egressi autem circuibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique. + +** Luke 9:7 + +Audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia quæ fiebant ab eo, et hæsitabat eo quod diceretur + +** Luke 9:8 + +a quibusdam : Quia Joannes surrexit a mortuis : a quibusdam vero : Quia Elias apparuit : ab aliis autem : Quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit. + +** Luke 9:9 + +Et ait Herodes : Joannem ego decollavi : quis est autem iste, de quo ego talia audio ? Et quærebat videre eum. + +** Luke 9:10 + +Et reversi Apostoli, narraverunt illi quæcumque fecerunt : et assumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum, qui est Bethsaidæ. + +** Luke 9:11 + +Quod cum cognovissent turbæ, secutæ sunt illum : et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat. + +** Luke 9:12 + +Dies autem cœperat declinare, et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi : Dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella villasque quæ circa sunt, divertant, et inveniant escas : quia hic in loco deserto sumus. + +** Luke 9:13 + +Ait autem ad illos : Vos date illis manducare. At illi dixerunt : Non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes et duo pisces : nisi forte nos eamus, et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas. + +** Luke 9:14 + +Erant autem fere viri quinque millia. Ait autem ad discipulos suos : Facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos. + +** Luke 9:15 + +Et ita fecerunt : et discumbere fecerunt omnes. + +** Luke 9:16 + +Acceptis autem quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, respexit in cælum, et benedixit illis : et fregit, et distribuit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante turbas. + +** Luke 9:17 + +Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et sublatum est quod superfuit illis, fragmentorum cophini duodecim. + +** Luke 9:18 + +Et factum est cum solus esset orans, erant cum illo et discipuli : et interrogavit illos, dicens : Quem me dicunt esse turbæ ? + +** Luke 9:19 + +At illi responderunt, et dixerunt : Joannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero quia unus propheta de prioribus surrexit. + +** Luke 9:20 + +Dixit autem illis : Vos autem quem me esse dicitis ? Respondens Simon Petrus, dixit : Christum Dei. + +** Luke 9:21 + +At ille increpans illos, præcepit ne cui dicerent hoc, + +** Luke 9:22 + +dicens : Quia oportet Filium hominis multa pati, et reprobari a senioribus, et principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere. + +** Luke 9:23 + +Dicebat autem ad omnes : Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam quotidie, et sequatur me. + +** Luke 9:24 + +Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam : nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, salvam faciet illam. + +** Luke 9:25 + +Quid enim proficit homo, si lucretur universum mundum, se autem ipsum perdat, et detrimentum sui faciat ? + +** Luke 9:26 + +Nam qui me erubuerit, et meos sermones : hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in majestate sua, et Patris, et sanctorum angelorum. + +** Luke 9:27 + +Dico autem vobis vere : sunt aliqui hic stantes, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei. + +** Luke 9:28 + +Factum est autem post hæc verba fere dies octo, et assumpsit Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et ascendit in montem ut oraret. + +** Luke 9:29 + +Et facta est, dum oraret, species vultus ejus altera : et vestitus ejus albus et refulgens. + +** Luke 9:30 + +Et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo. Erant autem Moyses et Elias, + +** Luke 9:31 + +visi in majestate : et dicebant excessum ejus, quem completurus erat in Jerusalem. + +** Luke 9:32 + +Petrus vero, et qui cum illo erant, gravati erant somno. Et evigilantes viderunt majestatem ejus, et duos viros qui stabant cum illo. + +** Luke 9:33 + +Et factum est cum discederent ab illo, ait Petrus ad Jesum : Præceptor, bonum est nos hic esse : et faciamus tria tabernacula, unum tibi, et unum Moysi, et unum Eliæ : nesciens quid diceret. + +** Luke 9:34 + +Hæc autem illo loquente, facta est nubes, et obumbravit eos : et timuerunt, intrantibus illis in nubem. + +** Luke 9:35 + +Et vox facta est de nube, dicens : Hic est Filius meus dilectus, ipsum audite. + +** Luke 9:36 + +Et dum fieret vox, inventus est Jesus solus. Et ipsi tacuerunt, et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quidquam ex his quæ viderant. + +** Luke 9:37 + +Factum est autem in sequenti die, descendentibus illis de monte, occurrit illis turba multa. + +** Luke 9:38 + +Et ecce vir de turba exclamavit, dicens : Magister, obsecro te, respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi : + +** Luke 9:39 + +et ecce spiritus apprehendit eum, et subito clamat, et elidit, et dissipat eum cum spuma, et vix discedit dilanians eum : + +** Luke 9:40 + +et rogavi discipulos tuos ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt. + +** Luke 9:41 + +Respondens autem Jesus, dixit : O generatio infidelis, et perversa, usquequo ero apud vos, et patiar vos ? adduc huc filium tuum. + +** Luke 9:42 + +Et cum accederet, elisit illum dæmonium, et dissipavit. + +** Luke 9:43 + +Et increpavit Jesus spiritum immundum, et sanavit puerum, et reddidit illum patri ejus. + +** Luke 9:44 + +Stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei : omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus quæ faciebat, dixit ad discipulos suos : Ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos : Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum. + +** Luke 9:45 + +At illi ignorabant verbum istud, et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud : et timebant eum interrogare de hoc verbo. + +** Luke 9:46 + +Intravit autem cogitatio in eos quis eorum major esset. + +** Luke 9:47 + +At Jesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum, apprehendit puerum, et statuit illum secus se, + +** Luke 9:48 + +et ait illis : Quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo, me recipit : et quicumque me receperit, recipit eum qui me misit. Nam qui minor est inter vos omnes, hic major est. + +** Luke 9:49 + +Respondens autem Joannes dixit : Præceptor, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dæmonia, et prohibuimus eum : quia non sequitur nobiscum. + +** Luke 9:50 + +Et ait ad illum Jesus : Nolite prohibere : qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est. + +** Luke 9:51 + +Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis ejus, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Jerusalem. + +** Luke 9:52 + +Et misit nuntios ante conspectum suum : et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut parerent illi. + +** Luke 9:53 + +Et non receperunt eum, quia facies ejus erat euntis in Jerusalem. + +** Luke 9:54 + +Cum vidissent autem discipuli ejus Jacobus et Joannes, dixerunt : Domine, vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de cælo, et consumat illos ? + +** Luke 9:55 + +Et conversus increpavit illos, dicens : Nescitis cujus spiritus estis. + +** Luke 9:56 + +Filius hominis non venit animas perdere, sed salvare. Et abierunt in aliud castellum. + +** Luke 9:57 + +Factum est autem : ambulantibus illis in via, dixit quidam ad illum : Sequar te quocumque ieris. + +** Luke 9:58 + +Dixit illi Jesus : Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres cæli nidos : Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet. + +** Luke 9:59 + +Ait autem ad alterum : Sequere me : ille autem dixit : Domine, permitte mihi primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum. + +** Luke 9:60 + +Dixitque ei Jesus : Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos : tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei. + +** Luke 9:61 + +Et ait alter : Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renuntiare his quæ domi sunt. + +** Luke 9:62 + +Ait ad illum Jesus : Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei. + +* Luke 10 + +** Luke 10:1 + +Post hæc autem designavit Dominus et alios septuaginta duos : et misit illos binos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem et locum, quo erat ipse venturus. + +** Luke 10:2 + +Et dicebat illis : Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci. Rogate ergo dominum messis ut mittat operarios in messem suam. + +** Luke 10:3 + +Ite : ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. + +** Luke 10:4 + +Nolite portare sacculum, neque peram, neque calceamenta, et neminem per viam salutaveritis. + +** Luke 10:5 + +In quamcumque domum intraveritis, primum dicite : Pax huic domui : + +** Luke 10:6 + +et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet super illum pax vestra : sin autem, ad vos revertetur. + +** Luke 10:7 + +In eadem autem domo manete, edentes et bibentes quæ apud illos sunt : dignus est enim operarius mercede sua. Nolite transire de domo in domum. + +** Luke 10:8 + +Et in quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et susceperint vos, manducate quæ apponuntur vobis : + +** Luke 10:9 + +et curate infirmos, qui in illa sunt, et dicite illis : Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei. + +** Luke 10:10 + +In quamcumque autem civitatem intraveritis, et non susceperint vos, exeuntes in plateas ejus, dicite : + +** Luke 10:11 + +Etiam pulverem, qui adhæsit nobis de civitate vestra, extergimus in vos : tamen hoc scitote, quia appropinquavit regnum Dei. + +** Luke 10:12 + +Dico vobis, quia Sodomis in die illa remissius erit, quam illi civitati. + +** Luke 10:13 + +Væ tibi Corozain ! væ tibi Bethsaida ! quia si in Tyro et Sidone factæ fuissent virtutes quæ factæ sunt in vobis, olim in cilicio et cinere sedentes pœniterent. + +** Luke 10:14 + +Verumtamen Tyro et Sidoni remissius erit in judicio, quam vobis. + +** Luke 10:15 + +Et tu Capharnaum, usque ad cælum exaltata, usque ad infernum demergeris. + +** Luke 10:16 + +Qui vos audit, me audit : et qui vos spernit, me spernit.

Tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus : + +** Luke 14:11 + +quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur : et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur. + +** Luke 14:12 + +Dicebat autem et ei, qui invitaverat : Cum facis prandium, aut cœnam, noli vocare amicos tuos, neque fratres tuos, neque cognatos, neque vicinos divites : ne forte te et ipsi reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio ; + +** Luke 14:13 + +sed cum facis convivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, et cæcos : + +** Luke 14:14 + +et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi : retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione justorum. + +** Luke 14:15 + +Hæc cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi : Beatus qui manducabit panem in regno Dei. + +** Luke 14:16 + +At ipse dixit ei : Homo quidam fecit cœnam magnam, et vocavit multos. + +** Luke 14:17 + +Et misit servum suum hora cœnæ dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia jam parata sunt omnia. + +** Luke 14:18 + +Et cœperunt simul omnes excusare. Primus dixit ei : Villam emi, et necesse habeo exire, et videre illam : rogo te, habe me excusatum. + +** Luke 14:19 + +Et alter dixit : Juga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa : rogo te, habe me excusatum. + +** Luke 14:20 + +Et alius dixit : Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire. + +** Luke 14:21 + +Et reversus servus nuntiavit hæc domino suo. Tunc iratus paterfamilias, dixit servo suo : Exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis : et pauperes, ac debiles, et cæcos, et claudos introduc huc. + +** Luke 14:22 + +Et ait servus : Domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est. + +** Luke 14:23 + +Et ait dominus servo : Exi in vias, et sæpes : et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea. + +** Luke 14:24 + +Dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum qui vocati sunt, gustabit cœnam meam. + +** Luke 14:25 + +Ibant autem turbæ multæ cum eo : et conversus dixit ad illos : + +** Luke 14:26 + +Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest meus esse discipulus. + +** Luke 14:27 + +Et qui non bajulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus. + +** Luke 14:28 + +Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum, + +** Luke 14:29 + +ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes qui vident, incipiant illudere ei, + +** Luke 14:30 + +dicentes : Quia hic homo cœpit ædificare, et non potuit consummare ? + +** Luke 14:31 + +Aut quis rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cum decem millibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti millibus venit ad se ? + +** Luke 14:32 + +Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea quæ pacis sunt. + +** Luke 14:33 + +Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renuntiat omnibus quæ possidet, non potest meus esse discipulus. + +** Luke 14:34 + +Bonum est sal : si autem sal evanuerit, in quo condietur ? + +** Luke 14:35 + +Neque in terram, neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras mittetur.

Et divisit illis substantiam. + +** Luke 15:13 + +Et non post multos dies, congregatis omnibus, adolescentior filius peregre profectus est in regionem longinquam, et ibi dissipavit substantiam suam vivendo luxuriose. + +** Luke 15:14 + +Et postquam omnia consummasset, facta est fames valida in regione illa, et ipse cœpit egere. + +** Luke 15:15 + +Et abiit, et adhæsit uni civium regionis illius : et misit illum in villam suam ut pasceret porcos. + +** Luke 15:16 + +Et cupiebat implere ventrem suum de siliquis, quas porci manducabant : et nemo illi dabat. + +** Luke 15:17 + +In se autem reversus, dixit : Quanti mercenarii in domo patris mei abundant panibus, ego autem hic fame pereo ! + +** Luke 15:18 + +surgam, et ibo ad patrem meum, et dicam ei : Pater, peccavi in cælum, et coram te : + +** Luke 15:19 + +jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus : fac me sicut unum de mercenariis tuis. + +** Luke 15:20 + +Et surgens venit ad patrem suum. Cum autem adhuc longe esset, vidit illum pater ipsius, et misericordia motus est, et accurrens cecidit super collum ejus, et osculatus est eum. + +** Luke 15:21 + +Dixitque ei filius : Pater, peccavi in cælum, et coram te : jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus. + +** Luke 15:22 + +Dixit autem pater ad servos suos : Cito proferte stolam primam, et induite illum, et date annulum in manum ejus, et calceamenta in pedes ejus : + +** Luke 15:23 + +et adducite vitulum saginatum, et occidite, et manducemus, et epulemur : + +** Luke 15:24 + +quia hic filius meus mortuus erat, et revixit : perierat, et inventus est. Et cœperunt epulari. + +** Luke 15:25 + +Erat autem filius ejus senior in agro : et cum veniret, et appropinquaret domui, audivit symphoniam et chorum : + +** Luke 15:26 + +et vocavit unum de servis, et interrogavit quid hæc essent. + +** Luke 15:27 + +Isque dixit illi : Frater tuus venit, et occidit pater tuus vitulum saginatum, quia salvum illum recepit. + +** Luke 15:28 + +Indignatus est autem, et nolebat introire. Pater ergo illius egressus, cœpit rogare illum. + +** Luke 15:29 + +At ille respondens, dixit patri suo : Ecce tot annis servio tibi, et numquam mandatum tuum præterivi : et numquam dedisti mihi hædum ut cum amicis meis epularer. + +** Luke 15:30 + +Sed postquam filius tuus hic, qui devoravit substantiam suam cum meretricibus, venit, occidisti illi vitulum saginatum. + +** Luke 15:31 + +At ipse dixit illi : Fili, tu semper mecum es, et omnia mea tua sunt : + +** Luke 15:32 + +epulari autem, et gaudere oportebat, quia frater tuus hic mortuus erat, et revixit ; perierat, et inventus est. + +* Luke 16 + +** Luke 16:1 + +Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos : Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum : et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius. + +** Luke 16:2 + +Et vocavit illum, et ait illi : Quid hoc audio de te ? redde rationem villicationis tuæ : jam enim non poteris villicare. + +** Luke 16:3 + +Ait autem villicus intra se : Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem ? Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco. + +** Luke 16:4 + +Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas. + +** Luke 16:5 + +Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo : Quantum debes domino meo ? + +** Luke 16:6 + +At ille dixit : Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi : Accipe cautionem tuam : et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta. + +** Luke 16:7 + +Deinde alii dixit : Tu vero quantum debes ? Qui ait : Centum coros tritici. Ait illi : Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta. + +** Luke 16:8 + +Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset : quia filii hujus sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. + +** Luke 16:9 + +Et ego vobis dico : facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis : ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula. + +** Luke 16:10 + +Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in majori fidelis est : et qui in modico iniquus est, et in majori iniquus est. + +** Luke 16:11 + +Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis quod verum est, quis credet vobis ? + +** Luke 16:12 + +Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis ? + +** Luke 16:13 + +Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget : aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ. + +** Luke 16:14 + +Audiebant autem omnia hæc pharisæi, qui erant avari : et deridebant illum. + +** Luke 16:15 + +Et ait illis : Vos estis qui justificatis vos coram hominibus : Deus autem novit corda vestra : quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum. + +** Luke 16:16 + +Lex et prophetæ usque ad Joannem : ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit. + +** Luke 16:17 + +Facilius est autem cælum et terram præterire, quam de lege unum apicem cadere. + +** Luke 16:18 + +Omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et alteram ducit, mœchatur : et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur. + +** Luke 16:19 + +Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide. + +** Luke 16:20 + +Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui jacebat ad januam ejus, ulceribus plenus, + +** Luke 16:21 + +cupiens saturari de micis quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat : sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera ejus. + +** Luke 16:22 + +Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives, et sepultus est in inferno. + +** Luke 16:23 + +Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu ejus : + +** Luke 16:24 + +et ipse clamans dixit : Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma. + +** Luke 16:25 + +Et dixit illi Abraham : Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala : nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris : + +** Luke 16:26 + +et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est : ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare. + +** Luke 16:27 + +Et ait : Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei : + +** Luke 16:28 + +habeo enim quinque fratres : ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum. + +** Luke 16:29 + +Et ait illi Abraham : Habent Moysen et prophetas : audiant illos. + +** Luke 16:30 + +At ille dixit : Non, pater Abraham : sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent. + +** Luke 16:31 + +Ait autem illi : Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent. + +* Luke 17 + +** Luke 17:1 + +Et ait ad discipulos suos : Impossibile est ut non veniant scandala : væ autem illi per quem veniunt. + +** Luke 17:2 + +Utilius est illi si lapis molaris imponatur circa collum ejus, et projiciatur in mare quam ut scandalizet unum de pusillis istis. + +** Luke 17:3 + +Attendite vobis : Si peccaverit in te frater tuus, increpa illum : et si pœnitentiam egerit, dimitte illi. + +** Luke 17:4 + +Et si septies in die peccaverit in te, et septies in die conversus fuerit ad te, dicens : Pœnitet me, dimitte illi. + +** Luke 17:5 + +Et dixerunt apostoli Domino : Adauge nobis fidem. + +** Luke 17:6 + +Dixit autem Dominus : Si habueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis huic arbori moro : Eradicare, et transplantare in mare, et obediet vobis. + +** Luke 17:7 + +Quis autem vestrum habens servum arantem aut pascentem, qui regresso de agro dicat illi : Statim transi, recumbe : + +** Luke 17:8 + +et non dicat ei : Para quod cœnem, et præcinge te, et ministra mihi donec manducem, et bibam, et post hæc tu manducabis, et bibes ? + +** Luke 17:9 + +Numquid gratiam habet servo illi, quia fecit quæ ei imperaverat ? + +** Luke 17:10 + +non puto. Sic et vos cum feceritis omnia quæ præcepta sunt vobis, dicite : Servi inutiles sumus : quod debuimus facere, fecimus. + +** Luke 17:11 + +Et factum est, dum iret in Jerusalem, transibat per mediam Samariam et Galilæam. + +** Luke 17:12 + +Et cum ingrederetur quoddam castellum, occurrerunt ei decem viri leprosi, qui steterunt a longe : + +** Luke 17:13 + +et levaverunt vocem, dicentes : Jesu præceptor, miserere nostri. + +** Luke 17:14 + +Quos ut vidit, dixit : Ite, ostendite vos sacerdotibus. Et factum est, dum irent, mundati sunt. + +** Luke 17:15 + +Unus autem ex illis, ut vidit quia mundatus est, regressus est, cum magna voce magnificans Deum, + +** Luke 17:16 + +et cecidit in faciem ante pedes ejus, gratias agens : et hic erat Samaritanus. + +** Luke 17:17 + +Respondens autem Jesus, dixit : Nonne decem mundati sunt ? et novem ubi sunt ? + +** Luke 17:18 + +Non est inventus qui rediret, et daret gloriam Deo, nisi hic alienigena. + +** Luke 17:19 + +Et ait illi : Surge, vade : quia fides tua te salvum fecit. + +** Luke 17:20 + +Interrogatus autem a pharisæis : Quando venit regnum Dei ? respondens eis, dixit : Non venit regnum Dei cum observatione : + +** Luke 17:21 + +neque dicent : Ecce hic, aut ecce illic. Ecce enim regnum Dei intra vos est. + +** Luke 17:22 + +Et ait ad discipulos suos : Venient dies quando desideretis videre unum diem Filii hominis, et non videbitis. + +** Luke 17:23 + +Et dicent vobis : Ecce hic, et ecce illic. Nolite ire, neque sectemini : + +** Luke 17:24 + +nam, sicut fulgur coruscans de sub cælo in ea quæ sub cælo sunt, fulget : ita erit Filius hominis in die sua. + +** Luke 17:25 + +Primum autem oportet illum multa pati, et reprobari a generatione hac. + +** Luke 17:26 + +Et sicut factum est in diebus Noë, ita erit et in diebus Filii hominis : + +** Luke 17:27 + +edebant et bibebant : uxores ducebant et dabantur ad nuptias, usque in diem, qua intravit Noë in arcam : et venit diluvium, et perdidit omnes. + +** Luke 17:28 + +Similiter sicut factum est in diebus Lot : edebant et bibebant, emebant et vendebant, plantabant et ædificabant : + +** Luke 17:29 + +qua die autem exiit Lot a Sodomis, pluit ignem et sulphur de cælo, et omnes perdidit : + +** Luke 17:30 + +secundum hæc erit qua die Filius hominis revelabitur. + +** Luke 17:31 + +In illa hora, qui fuerit in tecto, et vasa ejus in domo, ne descendat tollere illa : et qui in agro, similiter non redeat retro. + +** Luke 17:32 + +Memores estote uxoris Lot. + +** Luke 17:33 + +Quicumque quæsierit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam : et quicumque perdiderit illam, vivificabit eam. + +** Luke 17:34 + +Dico vobis : In illa nocte erunt duo in lecto uno : unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur : + +** Luke 17:35 + +duæ erunt molentes in unum : una assumetur, et altera relinquetur : duo in agro : unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur. + +** Luke 17:36 + +Respondentes dicunt illi : Ubi Domine ? + +** Luke 17:37 + +Qui dixit illis : Ubicumque fuerit corpus, illuc congregabuntur et aquilæ. + +* Luke 18 + +** Luke 18:1 + +Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere, + +** Luke 18:2 + +dicens : Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur. + +** Luke 18:3 + +Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens : Vindica me de adversario meo. + +** Luke 18:4 + +Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se : Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor : + +** Luke 18:5 + +tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me. + +** Luke 18:6 + +Ait autem Dominus : Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit : + +** Luke 18:7 + +Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis ? + +** Luke 18:8 + +Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra ? + +** Luke 18:9 + +Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam : + +** Luke 18:10 + +Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent : unus pharisæus et alter publicanus. + +** Luke 18:11 + +Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat : Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum : raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus : + +** Luke 18:12 + +jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo. + +** Luke 18:13 + +Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare : sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens : Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori. + +** Luke 18:14 + +Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo : quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur. + +** Luke 18:15 + +Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos. + +** Luke 18:16 + +Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit : Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos : talium est enim regnum Dei. + +** Luke 18:17 + +Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud. + +** Luke 18:18 + +Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens : Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo ? + +** Luke 18:19 + +Dixit autem ei Jesus : Quid me dicis bonum ? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus. + +** Luke 18:20 + +Mandata nosti : non occides ; non mœchaberis ; non furtum facies ; non falsum testimonium dices ; honora patrem tuum et matrem. + +** Luke 18:21 + +Qui ait : Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea. + +** Luke 18:22 + +Quo audito, Jesus ait ei : Adhuc unum tibi deest : omnia quæcumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo : et veni, sequere me. + +** Luke 18:23 + +His ille auditis, contristatus est : quia dives erat valde. + +** Luke 18:24 + +Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit : Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt ! + +** Luke 18:25 + +facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei. + +** Luke 18:26 + +Et dixerunt qui audiebant : Et quis potest salvus fieri ? + +** Luke 18:27 + +Ait illis : Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum. + +** Luke 18:28 + +Ait autem Petrus : Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te. + +** Luke 18:29 + +Qui dixit eis : Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei, + +** Luke 18:30 + +et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam. + +** Luke 18:31 + +Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis : Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis : + +** Luke 18:32 + +tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur : + +** Luke 18:33 + +et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget. + +** Luke 18:34 + +Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur. + +** Luke 18:35 + +Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans. + +** Luke 18:36 + +Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset. + +** Luke 18:37 + +Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret. + +** Luke 18:38 + +Et clamavit, dicens : Jesu, fili David, miserere mei. + +** Luke 18:39 + +Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat : Fili David, miserere mei. + +** Luke 18:40 + +Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum, + +** Luke 18:41 + +dicens : Quid tibi vis faciam ? At ille dixit : Domine, ut videam. + +** Luke 18:42 + +Et Jesus dixit illi : Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit. + +** Luke 18:43 + +Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum.

Et plus magis intra se stupebant : + +** Mark 6:52 + +non enim intellexerunt de panibus : erat enim cor eorum obcæcatum. + +** Mark 6:53 + +Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesareth, et applicuerunt. + +** Mark 6:54 + +Cumque egressi essent de navi, continuo cognoverunt eum : + +** Mark 6:55 + +et percurrentes universam regionem illam, cœperunt in grabatis eos, qui se male habebant, circumferre, ubi audiebant eum esse. + +** Mark 6:56 + +Et quocumque introibat, in vicos, vel in villas aut civitates, in plateis ponebant infirmos, et deprecabantur eum, ut vel fimbriam vestimenti ejus tangerent, et quotquot tangebant eum, salvi fiebant. + +* Mark 7 + +** Mark 7:1 + +Et conveniunt ad eum pharisæi, et quidam de scribis, venientes ab Jerosolymis. + +** Mark 7:2 + +Et cum vidissent quosdam ex discipulis ejus communibus manibus, id est non lotis, manducare panes, vituperaverunt. + +** Mark 7:3 + +Pharisæi enim, et omnes Judæi, nisi crebro laverint manus, non manducant, tenentes traditionem seniorum : + +** Mark 7:4 + +et a foro nisi baptizentur, non comedunt : et alia multa sunt, quæ tradita sunt illis servare, baptismata calicum, et urceorum, et æramentorum, et lectorum : + +** Mark 7:5 + +et interrogabant eum pharisæi et scribæ : Quare discipuli tui non ambulant juxta traditionem seniorum, sed communibus manibus manducant panem ? + +** Mark 7:6 + +At ille respondens, dixit eis : Bene prophetavit Isaias de vobis hypocritis, sicut scriptum est : Populus hic labiis me honorat, cor autem eorum longe est a me : + +** Mark 7:7 + +in vanum autem me colunt, docentes doctrinas, et præcepta hominum. + +** Mark 7:8 + +Relinquentes enim mandatum Dei, tenetis traditionem hominum, baptismata urceorum et calicum : et alia similia his facitis multa. + +** Mark 7:9 + +Et dicebat illis : Bene irritum facitis præceptum Dei, ut traditionem vestram servetis. + +** Mark 7:10 + +Moyses enim dixit : Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam.

Et cum vidisset eum, statim spiritus conturbavit illum : et elisus in terram, volutabatur spumans. + +** Mark 9:20 + +Et interrogavit patrem ejus : Quantum temporis est ex quo ei hoc accidit ? At ille ait : Ab infantia : + +** Mark 9:21 + +et frequenter eum in ignem, et in aquas misit ut eum perderet : sed si quid potes, adjuva nos, misertus nostri. + +** Mark 9:22 + +Jesus autem ait illi : Si potes credere, omnia possibilia sunt credenti. + +** Mark 9:23 + +Et continuo exclamans pater pueri, cum lacrimis aiebat : Credo, Domine ; adjuva incredulitatem meam. + +** Mark 9:24 + +Et cum videret Jesus concurrentem turbam, comminatus est spiritui immundo, dicens illi : Surde et mute spiritus, ego præcipio tibi, exi ab eo : et amplius ne introëas in eum. + +** Mark 9:25 + +Et exclamans, et multum discerpens eum, exiit ab eo, et factus est sicut mortuus, ita ut multi dicerent : Quia mortuus est. + +** Mark 9:26 + +Jesus autem tenens manum ejus elevavit eum, et surrexit. + +** Mark 9:27 + +Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli ejus secreto interrogabant eum : Quare nos non potuimus ejicere eum ? + +** Mark 9:28 + +Et dixit illis : Hoc genus in nullo potest exire, nisi in oratione et jejunio. + +** Mark 9:29 + +Et inde profecti prætergrediebantur Galilæam : nec volebat quemquam scire. + +** Mark 9:30 + +Docebat autem discipulos suos, et dicebat illis : Quoniam Filius hominis tradetur in manus hominum, et occident eum, et occisus tertia die resurget. + +** Mark 9:31 + +At illi ignorabant verbum : et timebant interrogare eum. + +** Mark 9:32 + +Et venerunt Capharnaum. Qui cum domi essent, interrogabat eos : Quid in via tractabatis ? + +** Mark 9:33 + +At illi tacebant : siquidem in via inter se disputaverunt : quis eorum major esset. + +** Mark 9:34 + +Et residens vocavit duodecim, et ait illis : Si quis vult primus esse, erit omnium novissimus, et omnium minister. + +** Mark 9:35 + +Et accipiens puerum, statuit eum in medio eorum : quem cum complexus esset, ait illis : + +** Mark 9:36 + +Quisquis unum ex hujusmodi pueris receperit in nomine meo, me recipit : et quicumque me susceperit, non me suscipit, sed eum qui misit me. + +** Mark 9:37 + +Respondit illi Joannes, dicens : Magister, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dæmonia, qui non sequitur nos, et prohibuimus eum. + +** Mark 9:38 + +Jesus autem ait : Nolite prohibere eum : nemo est enim qui faciat virtutem in nomine meo, et possit cito male loqui de me : + +** Mark 9:39 + +qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est. + +** Mark 9:40 + +Quisquis enim potum dederit vobis calicem aquæ in nomine meo, quia Christi estis : amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam. + +** Mark 9:41 + +Et quisquis scandalizaverit unum ex his pusillis credentibus in me : bonum est ei magis si circumdaretur mola asinaria collo ejus, et in mare mitteretur. + +** Mark 9:42 + +Et si scandalizaverit te manus tua, abscide illam : bonum est tibi debilem introire in vitam, quam duas manus habentem ire in gehennam, in ignem inextinguibilem, + +** Mark 9:43 + +ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur. + +** Mark 9:44 + +Et si pes tuus te scandalizat, amputa illum : bonum est tibi claudum introire in vitam æternam, quam duos pedes habentem mitti in gehennam ignis inextinguibilis, + +** Mark 9:45 + +ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur. + +** Mark 9:46 + +Quod si oculus tuus scandalizat te, ejice eum : bonum est tibi luscum introire in regnum Dei, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis, + +** Mark 9:47 + +ubi vermis eorum non moritur, et ignis non extinguitur. + +** Mark 9:48 + +Omnis enim igne salietur, et omnis victima sale salietur. + +** Mark 9:49 + +Bonum est sal : quod si sal insulsum fuerit, in quo illud condietis ? Habete in vobis sal, et pacem habete inter vos. + +* Mark 10 + +** Mark 10:1 + +Et inde exsurgens venit in fines Judææ ultra Jordanem : et conveniunt iterum turbæ ad eum : et sicut consueverat, iterum docebat illos. + +** Mark 10:2 + +Et accedentes pharisæi interrogabant eum : Si licet viro uxorem dimittere : tentantes eum. + +** Mark 10:3 + +At ille respondens, dixit eis : Quid vobis præcepit Moyses ? + +** Mark 10:4 + +Qui dixerunt : Moyses permisit libellum repudii scribere, et dimittere. + +** Mark 10:5 + +Quibus respondens Jesus, ait : Ad duritiam cordis vestri scripsit vobis præceptum istud : + +** Mark 10:6 + +ab initio autem creaturæ masculum et feminam fecit eos Deus. + +** Mark 10:7 + +Propter hoc relinquet homo patrem suum et matrem, et adhærebit ad uxorem suam : + +** Mark 10:8 + +et erunt duo in carne una. Itaque jam non sunt duo, sed una caro. + +** Mark 10:9 + +Quod ergo Deus conjunxit, homo non separet. + +** Mark 10:10 + +Et in domo iterum discipuli ejus de eodem interrogaverunt eum. + +** Mark 10:11 + +Et ait illis : Quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, et aliam duxerit, adulterium committit super eam. + +** Mark 10:12 + +Et si uxor dimiserit virum suum, et alii nupserit, mœchatur. + +** Mark 10:13 + +Et offerebant illi parvulos ut tangeret illos. Discipuli autem comminabantur offerentibus. + +** Mark 10:14 + +Quos cum videret Jesus, indigne tulit, et ait illis : Sinite parvulos venire ad me, et ne prohibueritis eos : talium enim est regnum Dei. + +** Mark 10:15 + +Amen dico vobis : Quisquis non receperit regnum Dei velut parvulus, non intrabit in illud. + +** Mark 10:16 + +Et complexans eos, et imponens manus super illos, benedicebat eos. + +** Mark 10:17 + +Et cum egressus esset in viam, procurrens quidam genu flexo ante eum, rogabat eum : Magister bone, quid faciam ut vitam æternam percipiam ? + +** Mark 10:18 + +Jesus autem dixit ei : Quid me dicis bonum ? nemo bonus, nisi unus Deus. + +** Mark 10:19 + +Præcepta nosti : ne adulteres, ne occidas, ne fureris, ne falsum testimonium dixeris, ne fraudem feceris, honora patrem tuum et matrem. + +** Mark 10:20 + +At ille respondens, ait illi : Magister, hæc omnia observavi a juventute mea. + +** Mark 10:21 + +Jesus autem intuitus eum, dilexit eum, et dixit ei : Unum tibi deest : vade, quæcumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo : et veni, sequere me. + +** Mark 10:22 + +Qui contristatus in verbo, abiit mœrens : erat enim habens multas possessiones. + +** Mark 10:23 + +Et circumspiciens Jesus, ait discipulis suis : Quam difficile qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei introibunt ! + +** Mark 10:24 + +Discipuli autem obstupescebant in verbis ejus. At Jesus rursus respondens ait illis : Filioli, quam difficile est, confidentes in pecuniis, in regnum Dei introire ! + +** Mark 10:25 + +Facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei. + +** Mark 10:26 + +Qui magis admirabantur, dicentes ad semetipsos : Et quis potest salvus fieri ? + +** Mark 10:27 + +Et intuens illos Jesus, ait : Apud homines impossibile est, sed non apud Deum : omnia enim possibilia sunt apud Deum. + +** Mark 10:28 + +Et cœpit ei Petrus dicere : Ecce nos dimisimus omnia, et secuti sumus te. + +** Mark 10:29 + +Respondens Jesus, ait : Amen dico vobis : Nemo est qui reliquerit domum, aut fratres, aut sorores, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut filios, aut agros propter me et propter Evangelium, + +** Mark 10:30 + +qui non accipiat centies tantum, nunc in tempore hoc : domos, et fratres, et sorores, et matres, et filios, et agros, cum persecutionibus, et in sæculo futuro vitam æternam. + +** Mark 10:31 + +Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi. + +** Mark 10:32 + +Erant autem in via ascendentes Jerosolymam : et præcedebat illos Jesus, et stupebant : et sequentes timebant. Et assumens iterum duodecim, cœpit illis dicere quæ essent ei eventura. + +** Mark 10:33 + +Quia ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et senioribus, et damnabunt eum morte, et tradent eum gentibus : + +** Mark 10:34 + +et illudent ei, et conspuent eum, et flagellabunt eum, et interficient eum : et tertia die resurget. + +** Mark 10:35 + +Et accedunt ad eum Jacobus et Joannes filii Zebedæi, dicentes : Magister, volumus ut quodcumque petierimus, facias nobis. + +** Mark 10:36 + +At ille dixit eis : Quid vultis ut faciam vobis ? + +** Mark 10:37 + +Et dixerunt : Da nobis ut unus ad dexteram tuam, et alius ad sinistram tuam sedeamus in gloria tua. + +** Mark 10:38 + +Jesus autem ait eis : Nescitis quid petatis : potestis bibere calicem, quem ego bibo, aut baptismo, quo ego baptizor, baptizari ? + +** Mark 10:39 + +At illi dixerunt ei : Possumus. Jesus autem ait eis : Calicem quidem, quem ego bibo, bibetis ; et baptismo, quo ego baptizor, baptizabimini : + +** Mark 10:40 + +sedere autem ad dexteram meam, vel ad sinistram, non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus paratum est. + +** Mark 10:41 + +Et audientes decem, cœperunt indignari de Jacobo et Joanne. + +** Mark 10:42 + +Jesus autem vocans eos, ait illis : Scitis quia hi, qui videntur principari gentibus, dominantur eis : et principes eorum potestatem habent ipsorum. + +** Mark 10:43 + +Non ita est autem in vobis, sed quicumque voluerit fieri major, erit vester minister : + +** Mark 10:44 + +et quicumque voluerit in vobis primus esse, erit omnium servus. + +** Mark 10:45 + +Nam et Filius hominis non venit ut ministraretur ei, sed ut ministraret, et daret animam suam redemptionem pro multis. + +** Mark 10:46 + +Et veniunt Jericho : et proficiscente eo de Jericho, et discipulis ejus, et plurima multitudine, filius Timæi Bartimæus cæcus, sedebat juxta viam mendicans. + +** Mark 10:47 + +Qui cum audisset quia Jesus Nazarenus est, cœpit clamare, et dicere : Jesu fili David, miserere mei. + +** Mark 10:48 + +Et comminabantur ei multi ut taceret. At ille multo magis clamabat : Fili David, miserere mei. + +** Mark 10:49 + +Et stans Jesus præcepit illum vocari. Et vocant cæcum, dicentes ei : Animæquior esto : surge, vocat te. + +** Mark 10:50 + +Qui projecto vestimento suo exiliens, venit ad eum. + +** Mark 10:51 + +Et respondens Jesus dixit illi : Quid tibi vis faciam ? Cæcus autem dixit ei : Rabboni, ut videam. + +** Mark 10:52 + +Jesus autem ait illi : Vade, fides tua te salvum fecit. Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur eum in via. + +* Mark 11 + +** Mark 11:1 + +Et cum appropinquarent Jerosolymæ et Bethaniæ ad montem Olivarum, mittit duos ex discipulis suis, + +** Mark 11:2 + +et ait illis : Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim introëuntes illuc, invenietis pullum ligatum, super quem nemo adhuc hominum sedit : solvite illum, et adducite. + +** Mark 11:3 + +Et si quis vobis dixerit : Quid facitis ? dicite, quia Domino necessarius est : et continuo illum dimittet huc. + +** Mark 11:4 + +Et abeuntes invenerunt pullum ligatum ante januam foris in bivio : et solvunt eum. + +** Mark 11:5 + +Et quidam de illic stantibus dicebant illis : Quid facitis solventes pullum ? + +** Mark 11:6 + +Qui dixerunt eis sicut præceperat illis Jesus, et dimiserunt eis. + +** Mark 11:7 + +Et duxerunt pullum ad Jesum : et imponunt illi vestimenta sua, et sedit super eum. + +** Mark 11:8 + +Multi autem vestimenta sua straverunt in via : alii autem frondes cædebant de arboribus, et sternebant in via. + +** Mark 11:9 + +Et qui præibant, et qui sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes : Hosanna : benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini : + +** Mark 11:10 + +benedictum quod venit regnum patris nostri David : hosanna in excelsis. + +** Mark 11:11 + +Et introivit Jerosolymam in templum : et circumspectis omnibus, cum jam vespera esset hora, exiit in Bethaniam cum duodecim. + +** Mark 11:12 + +Et alia die cum exirent a Bethania, esuriit. + +** Mark 11:13 + +Cumque vidisset a longe ficum habentem folia, venit si quid forte inveniret in ea : et cum venisset ad eam, nihil invenit præter folia : non enim erat tempus ficorum. + +** Mark 11:14 + +Et respondens dixit ei : Jam non amplius in æternum ex te fructum quisquam manducet. Et audiebant discipuli ejus. + +** Mark 11:15 + +Et veniunt in Jerosolymam. Et cum introisset in templum, cœpit ejicere vendentes et ementes in templo : et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit : + +** Mark 11:16 + +et non sinebat ut quisquam transferret vas per templum : + +** Mark 11:17 + +et docebat, dicens eis : Nonne scriptum est : Quia domus mea, domus orationis vocabitur omnibus gentibus ? vos autem fecistis eam speluncam latronum. + +** Mark 11:18 + +Quo audito principes sacerdotum et scribæ, quærebant quomodo eum perderent : timebant enim eum, quoniam universa turba admirabatur super doctrina ejus. + +** Mark 11:19 + +Et cum vespera facta esset, egrediebatur de civitate. + +** Mark 11:20 + +Et cum mane transirent, viderunt ficum aridam factam a radicibus. + +** Mark 11:21 + +Et recordatus Petrus, dixit ei : Rabbi, ecce ficus, cui maledixisti, aruit. + +** Mark 11:22 + +Et respondens Jesus ait illis : Habete fidem Dei. + +** Mark 11:23 + +Amen dico vobis, quia quicumque dixerit huic monti : Tollere, et mittere in mare, et non hæsitaverit in corde suo, sed crediderit, quia quodcumque dixerit fiat, fiet ei. + +** Mark 11:24 + +Propterea dico vobis, omnia quæcumque orantes petitis, credite quia accipietis, et evenient vobis. + +** Mark 11:25 + +Et cum stabitis ad orandum, dimittite si quid habetis adversus aliquem : ut et Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dimittat vobis peccata vestra. + +** Mark 11:26 + +Quod si vos non dimiseritis : nec Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dimittet vobis peccata vestra. + +** Mark 11:27 + +Et veniunt rursus Jerosolymam. Et cum ambularet in templo, accedunt ad eum summi sacerdotes, et scribæ, et seniores : + +** Mark 11:28 + +et dicunt ei : In qua potestate hæc facis ? et quis dedit tibi hanc potestatem ut ista facias ? + +** Mark 11:29 + +Jesus autem respondens, ait illis : Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum, et respondete mihi : et dicam vobis in qua potestate hæc faciam. + +** Mark 11:30 + +Baptismus Joannis, de cælo erat, an ex hominibus ? Respondete mihi. + +** Mark 11:31 + +At illi cogitabant secum, dicentes : Si dixerimus : De cælo, dicet : Quare ergo non credidistis ei ? + +** Mark 11:32 + +Si dixerimus : Ex hominibus, timemus populum : omnes enim habebant Joannem quia vere propheta esset. + +** Mark 11:33 + +Et respondentes dicunt Jesu : Nescimus. Et respondens Jesus ait illis : Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc faciam. + +* Mark 12 + +** Mark 12:1 + +Et cœpit illis in parabolis loqui : Vineam pastinavit homo, et circumdedit sepem, et fodit lacum, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est. + +** Mark 12:2 + +Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineæ. + +** Mark 12:3 + +Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum. + +** Mark 12:4 + +Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum : et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt. + +** Mark 12:5 + +Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt : et plures alios : quosdam cædentes, alios vero occidentes. + +** Mark 12:6 + +Adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum, et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens : Quia reverebuntur filium meum. + +** Mark 12:7 + +Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem : Hic est hæres : venite, occidamus eum : et nostra erit hæreditas. + +** Mark 12:8 + +Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt : et ejecerunt extra vineam. + +** Mark 12:9 + +Quid ergo faciet dominus vineæ ?

Licet dari tributum Cæsari, an non dabimus ? + +** Mark 12:15 + +Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illis : Quid me tentatis ? afferte mihi denarium ut videam. + +** Mark 12:16 + +At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis : Cujus est imago hæc, et inscriptio ? Dicunt ei : Cæsaris. + +** Mark 12:17 + +Respondens autem Jesus dixit illis : Reddite igitur quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari : et quæ sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo. + +** Mark 12:18 + +Et venerunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse : et interrogabant eum, dicentes : + +** Mark 12:19 + +Magister, Moyses nobis scripsit, ut si cujus frater mortuus fuerit, et dimiserit uxorem, et filios non reliquerit, accipiat frater ejus uxorem ipsius, et resuscitet semen fratri suo. + +** Mark 12:20 + +Septem ergo fratres erant : et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine. + +** Mark 12:21 + +Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est : et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter. + +** Mark 12:22 + +Et acceperunt eam similiter septem : et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier. + +** Mark 12:23 + +In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cujus de his erit uxor ? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem. + +** Mark 12:24 + +Et respondens Jesus, ait illis : Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei ? + +** Mark 12:25 + +Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed sunt sicut angeli in cælis. + +** Mark 12:26 + +De mortuis autem quod resurgant, non legistis in libro Moysi, super rubum, quomodo dixerit illi Deus, inquiens : Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob ? + +** Mark 12:27 + +Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis. + +** Mark 12:28 + +Et accessit unus de scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum. + +** Mark 12:29 + +Jesus autem respondit ei : Quia primum omnium mandatum est : Audi Israël, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est : + +** Mark 12:30 + +et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota mente tua, et ex tota virtute tua. Hoc est primum mandatum. + +** Mark 12:31 + +Secundum autem simile est illi : Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Majus horum aliud mandatum non est. + +** Mark 12:32 + +Et ait illi scriba : Bene, Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius præter eum. + +** Mark 12:33 + +Et ut diligatur ex toto corde, et ex toto intellectu, et ex tota anima, et ex tota fortitudine, et diligere proximum tamquam seipsum, majus est omnibus holocautomatibus, et sacrificiis. + +** Mark 12:34 + +Jesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi : Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo jam audebat eum interrogare. + +** Mark 12:35 + +Et respondens Jesus dicebat, docens in templo : Quomodo dicunt scribæ Christum filium esse David ? + +** Mark 12:36 + +Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto : Dixit Dominus Domino meo : Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum. + +** Mark 12:37 + +Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius ejus ? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit. + +** Mark 12:38 + +Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua : Cavete a scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro, + +** Mark 12:39 + +et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in cœnis : + +** Mark 12:40 + +qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixæ orationis : hi accipient prolixius judicium. + +** Mark 12:41 + +Et sedens Jesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba jactaret æs in gazophylacium, et multi divites jactabant multa. + +** Mark 12:42 + +Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans, + +** Mark 12:43 + +et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis : Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua hæc pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium. + +** Mark 12:44 + +Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt : hæc vero de penuria sua omnia quæ habuit misit totum victum suum. + +* Mark 13 + +** Mark 13:1 + +Et cum egrederetur de templo, ait illi unus ex discipulis suis : Magister, aspice quales lapides, et quales structuræ. + +** Mark 13:2 + +Et respondens Jesus, ait illi : Vides has omnes magnas ædificationes ? Non relinquetur lapis super lapidem, qui non destruatur. + +** Mark 13:3 + +Et cum sederet in monte Olivarum contra templum, interrogabant eum separatim Petrus, et Jacobus, et Joannes, et Andreas : + +** Mark 13:4 + +Dic nobis, quando ista fient ? et quod signum erit, quando hæc omnia incipient consummari ? + +** Mark 13:5 + +Et respondens Jesus cœpit dicere illis : Videte ne quis vos seducat : + +** Mark 13:6 + +multi enim venient in nomine meo, dicentes quia ego sum : et multos seducent. + +** Mark 13:7 + +Cum audieritis autem bella, et opiniones bellorum, ne timueritis : oportet enim hæc fieri : sed nondum finis. + +** Mark 13:8 + +Exsurget enim gens contra gentem, et regnum super regnum, et erunt terræmotus per loca, et fames.

Non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores. + +** Matthew 9:14 + +Tunc accesserunt ad eum discipuli Joannis, dicentes : Quare nos, et pharisæi, jejunamus frequenter : discipuli autem tui non jejunant ? + +** Matthew 9:15 + +Et ait illis Jesus : Numquid possunt filii sponsi lugere, quamdiu cum illis est sponsus ? Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus : et tunc jejunabunt. + +** Matthew 9:16 + +Nemo autem immittit commissuram panni rudis in vestimentum vetus : tollit enim plenitudinem ejus a vestimento, et pejor scissura fit. + +** Matthew 9:17 + +Neque mittunt vinum novum in utres veteres : alioquin rumpuntur utres, et vinum effunditur, et utres pereunt.

Et salva facta est mulier ex illa hora. + +** Matthew 9:23 + +Et cum venisset Jesus in domum principis, et vidisset tibicines et turbam tumultuantem, dicebat : + +** Matthew 9:24 + +Recedite : non est enim mortua puella, sed dormit. Et deridebant eum. + +** Matthew 9:25 + +Et cum ejecta esset turba, intravit : et tenuit manum ejus, et surrexit puella. + +** Matthew 9:26 + +Et exiit fama hæc in universam terram illam. + +** Matthew 9:27 + +Et transeunte inde Jesu, secuti sunt eum duo cæci, clamantes, et dicentes : Miserere nostri, fili David. + +** Matthew 9:28 + +Cum autem venisset domum, accesserunt ad eum cæci. Et dicit eis Jesus : Creditis quia hoc possum facere vobis ? Dicunt ei : Utique, Domine. + +** Matthew 9:29 + +Tunc tetigit oculos eorum, dicens : Secundum fidem vestram, fiat vobis. + +** Matthew 9:30 + +Et aperti sunt oculi eorum : et comminatus est illis Jesus, dicens : Videte ne quis sciat. + +** Matthew 9:31 + +Illi autem exeuntes, diffamaverunt eum in tota terra illa. + +** Matthew 9:32 + +Egressis autem illis, ecce obtulerunt ei hominem mutum, dæmonium habentem. + +** Matthew 9:33 + +Et ejecto dæmonio, locutus est mutus, et miratæ sunt turbæ, dicentes : Numquam apparuit sic in Israël. + +** Matthew 9:34 + +Pharisæi autem dicebant : In principe dæmoniorum ejicit dæmones. + +** Matthew 9:35 + +Et circuibat Jesus omnes civitates, et castella, docens in synagogis eorum, et prædicans Evangelium regni, et curans omnem languorem, et omnem infirmitatem. + +** Matthew 9:36 + +Videns autem turbas, misertus est eis : quia erant vexati, et jacentes sicut oves non habentes pastorem. + +** Matthew 9:37 + +Tunc dicit discipulis suis : Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci. + +** Matthew 9:38 + +Rogate ergo Dominum messis, ut mittat operarios in messem suam. + +* Matthew 10 + +** Matthew 10:1 + +Et convocatis duodecim discipulis suis, dedit illis potestatem spirituum immundorum, ut ejicerent eos, et curarent omnem languorem, et omnem infirmitatem. + +** Matthew 10:2 + +Duodecim autem Apostolorum nomina sunt hæc. Primus, Simon, qui dicitur Petrus : et Andreas frater ejus, + +** Matthew 10:3 + +Jacobus Zebedæi, et Joannes frater ejus, Philippus, et Bartholomæus, Thomas, et Matthæus publicanus, Jacobus Alphæi, et Thaddæus, + +** Matthew 10:4 + +Simon Chananæus, et Judas Iscariotes, qui et tradidit eum. + +** Matthew 10:5 + +Hos duodecim misit Jesus, præcipiens eis, dicens : In viam gentium ne abieritis, et in civitates Samaritanorum ne intraveritis : + +** Matthew 10:6 + +sed potius ite ad oves quæ perierunt domus Israël. + +** Matthew 10:7 + +Euntes autem prædicate, dicentes : Quia appropinquavit regnum cælorum. + +** Matthew 10:8 + +Infirmos curate, mortuos suscitate, leprosos mundate, dæmones ejicite : gratis accepistis, gratis date. + +** Matthew 10:9 + +Nolite possidere aurum, neque argentum, neque pecuniam in zonis vestris : + +** Matthew 10:10 + +non peram in via, neque duas tunicas, neque calceamenta, neque virgam : dignus enim est operarius cibo suo. + +** Matthew 10:11 + +In quamcumque autem civitatem aut castellum intraveritis, interrogate, quis in ea dignus sit : et ibi manete donec exeatis. + +** Matthew 10:12 + +Intrantes autem in domum, salutate eam, dicentes : Pax huic domui. + +** Matthew 10:13 + +Et siquidem fuerit domus illa digna, veniet pax vestra super eam : si autem non fuerit digna, pax vestra revertetur ad vos. + +** Matthew 10:14 + +Et quicumque non receperit vos, neque audierit sermones vestros : exeuntes foras de domo, vel civitate, excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris. + +** Matthew 10:15 + +Amen dico vobis : Tolerabilius erit terræ Sodomorum et Gomorrhæorum in die judicii, quam illi civitati. + +** Matthew 10:16 + +Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in medio luporum. Estote ergo prudentes sicut serpentes, et simplices sicut columbæ. + +** Matthew 10:17 + +Cavete autem ab hominibus. Tradent enim vos in conciliis, et in synagogis suis flagellabunt vos : + +** Matthew 10:18 + +et ad præsides, et ad reges ducemini propter me in testimonium illis, et gentibus. + +** Matthew 10:19 + +Cum autem tradent vos, nolite cogitare quomodo, aut quid loquamini : dabitur enim vobis in illa hora, quid loquamini : + +** Matthew 10:20 + +non enim vos estis qui loquimini, sed Spiritus Patris vestri, qui loquitur in vobis. + +** Matthew 10:21 + +Tradet autem frater fratrem in mortem, et pater filium : et insurgent filii in parentes, et morte eos afficient : + +** Matthew 10:22 + +et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum : qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit. + +** Matthew 10:23 + +Cum autem persequentur vos in civitate ista, fugite in aliam.

Et quodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum et in cælis : et quodcumque solveris super terram, erit solutum et in cælis. + +** Matthew 16:20 + +Tunc præcepit discipulis suis ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset Jesus Christus. + +** Matthew 16:21 + +Exinde cœpit Jesus ostendere discipulis suis, quia oporteret eum ire Jerosolymam, et multa pati a senioribus, et scribis, et principibus sacerdotum, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere. + +** Matthew 16:22 + +Et assumens eum Petrus, cœpit increpare illum dicens : Absit a te, Domine : non erit tibi hoc. + +** Matthew 16:23 + +Qui conversus, dixit Petro : Vade post me Satana, scandalum es mihi : quia non sapis ea quæ Dei sunt, sed ea quæ hominum. + +** Matthew 16:24 + +Tunc Jesus dixit discipulis suis : Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequatur me. + +** Matthew 16:25 + +Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet eam : qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me, inveniet eam. + +** Matthew 16:26 + +Quid enim prodest homini, si mundum universum lucretur, animæ vero suæ detrimentum patiatur ? aut quam dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua ? + +** Matthew 16:27 + +Filius enim hominis venturus est in gloria Patris sui cum angelis suis : et tunc reddet unicuique secundum opera ejus. + +** Matthew 16:28 + +Amen dico vobis, sunt quidam de hic stantibus, qui non gustabunt mortem, donec videant Filium hominis venientem in regno suo. + +* Matthew 17 + +** Matthew 17:1 + +Et post dies sex assumit Jesus Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem fratrem ejus, et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum : + +** Matthew 17:2 + +et transfiguratus est ante eos. Et resplenduit facies ejus sicut sol : vestimenta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix. + +** Matthew 17:3 + +Et ecce apparuerunt illis Moyses et Elias cum eo loquentes. + +** Matthew 17:4 + +Respondens autem Petrus, dixit ad Jesum : Domine, bonum est nos hic esse : si vis, faciamus tria tabernacula, tibi unum, Moysi unum, et Eliæ unum. + +** Matthew 17:5 + +Adhuc eo loquente, ecce nubes lucida obumbravit eos.

Dicit illis Jesus : Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei. + +** Matthew 21:32 + +Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiæ, et non credidistis ei : publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei : vos autem videntes nec pœnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei. + +** Matthew 21:33 + +Aliam parabolam audite : Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est. + +** Matthew 21:34 + +Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus. + +** Matthew 21:35 + +Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt. + +** Matthew 21:36 + +Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter. + +** Matthew 21:37 + +Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens : Verebuntur filium meum. + +** Matthew 21:38 + +Agricolæ autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se : Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hæreditatem ejus. + +** Matthew 21:39 + +Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt. + +** Matthew 21:40 + +Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis ? + +** Matthew 21:41 + +Aiunt illi : Malos male perdet : et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis. + +** Matthew 21:42 + +Dicit illis Jesus : Numquam legistis in Scripturis : Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli : a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris ? + +** Matthew 21:43 + +Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus. + +** Matthew 21:44 + +Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur : super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum. + +** Matthew 21:45 + +Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret. + +** Matthew 21:46 + +Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas : quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant. + +* Matthew 22 + +** Matthew 22:1 + +Et respondens Jesus, dixit iterum in parabolis eis, dicens : + +** Matthew 22:2 + +Simile factum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui fecit nuptias filio suo. + +** Matthew 22:3 + +Et misit servos suos vocare invitatos ad nuptias, et nolebant venire. + +** Matthew 22:4 + +Iterum misit alios servos, dicens : Dicite invitatis : Ecce prandium meum paravi, tauri mei et altilia occisa sunt, et omnia parata : venite ad nuptias. + +** Matthew 22:5 + +Illi autem neglexerunt : et abierunt, alius in villam suam, alius vero ad negotiationem suam : + +** Matthew 22:6 + +reliqui vero tenuerunt servos ejus, et contumeliis affectos occiderunt. + +** Matthew 22:7 + +Rex autem cum audisset, iratus est : et missis exercitibus suis, perdidit homicidas illos, et civitatem illorum succendit. + +** Matthew 22:8 + +Tunc ait servis suis : Nuptiæ quidem paratæ sunt, sed qui invitati erant, non fuerunt digni : + +** Matthew 22:9 + +ite ergo ad exitus viarum, et quoscumque inveneritis, vocate ad nuptias. + +** Matthew 22:10 + +Et egressi servi ejus in vias, congregaverunt omnes quos invenerunt, malos et bonos : et impletæ sunt nuptiæ discumbentium. + +** Matthew 22:11 + +Intravit autem rex ut videret discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali. + +** Matthew 22:12 + +Et ait illi : Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem ? At ille obmutuit. + +** Matthew 22:13 + +Tunc dicit rex ministris : Ligatis manibus et pedibus ejus, mittite eum in tenebras exteriores : ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium. + +** Matthew 22:14 + +Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi. + +** Matthew 22:15 + +Tunc abeuntes pharisæi, consilium inierunt ut caperent eum in sermone. + +** Matthew 22:16 + +Et mittunt ei discipulos suos cum Herodianis, dicentes : Magister, scimus quia verax es, et viam Dei in veritate doces, et non est tibi cura de aliquo : non enim respicis personam hominum : + +** Matthew 22:17 + +dic ergo nobis quid tibi videtur, licet censum dare Cæsari, an non ? + +** Matthew 22:18 + +Cognita autem Jesus nequitia eorum, ait : Quid me tentatis, hypocritæ ? + +** Matthew 22:19 + +ostendite mihi numisma census.

Videte ne turbemini : oportet enim hæc fieri, sed nondum est finis : + +** Matthew 24:7 + +consurget enim gens in gentem, et regnum in regnum, et erunt pestilentiæ, et fames, et terræmotus per loca : + +** Matthew 24:8 + +hæc autem omnia initia sunt dolorum. + +** Matthew 24:9 + +Tunc tradent vos in tribulationem, et occident vos : et eritis odio omnibus gentibus propter nomen meum. + +** Matthew 24:10 + +Et tunc scandalizabuntur multi, et invicem tradent, et odio habebunt invicem. + +** Matthew 24:11 + +Et multi pseudoprophetæ surgent, et seducent multos. + +** Matthew 24:12 + +Et quoniam abundavit iniquitas, refrigescet caritas multorum : + +** Matthew 24:13 + +qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit. + +** Matthew 24:14 + +Et prædicabitur hoc Evangelium regni in universo orbe, in testimonium omnibus gentibus : et tunc veniet consummatio. + +** Matthew 24:15 + +Cum ergo videritis abominationem desolationis, quæ dicta est a Daniele propheta, stantem in loco sancto, qui legit, intelligat : + +** Matthew 24:16 + +tunc qui in Judæa sunt, fugiant ad montes : + +** Matthew 24:17 + +et qui in tecto, non descendat tollere aliquid de domo sua : + +** Matthew 24:18 + +et qui in agro, non revertatur tollere tunicam suam. + +** Matthew 24:19 + +Væ autem prægnantibus et nutrientibus in illis diebus ! + +** Matthew 24:20 + +Orate autem ut non fiat fuga vestra in hieme, vel sabbato : + +** Matthew 24:21 + +erit enim tunc tribulatio magna, qualis non fuit ab initio mundi usque modo, neque fiet. + +** Matthew 24:22 + +Et nisi breviati fuissent dies illi, non fieret salva omnis caro : sed propter electos breviabuntur dies illi. + +** Matthew 24:23 + +Tunc si quis vobis dixerit : Ecce hic est Christus, aut illic : nolite credere. + +** Matthew 24:24 + +Surgent enim pseudochristi, et pseudoprophetæ : et dabunt signa magna, et prodigia, ita ut in errorem inducantur (si fieri potest) etiam electi. + +** Matthew 24:25 + +Ecce prædixi vobis. + +** Matthew 24:26 + +Si ergo dixerint vobis : Ecce in deserto est, nolite exire ; Ecce in penetralibus, nolite credere. + +** Matthew 24:27 + +Sicut enim fulgur exit ab oriente, et paret usque in

sol obscurabitur, et luna non dabit lumen suum, et stellæ cadent de cælo, et virtutes cælorum commovebuntur : + +** Matthew 24:30 + +et tunc parebit signum Filii hominis in cælo : et tunc plangent omnes tribus terræ : et videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nubibus cæli cum virtute multa et majestate. + +** Matthew 24:31 + +Et mittet angelos suos cum tuba, et voce magna : et congregabunt

Matthew 24:37 + +Sicut autem in diebus Noë, ita erit et adventus Filii hominis : + +** Matthew 24:38 + +sicut enim erant in diebus ante diluvium comedentes et bibentes, nubentes et nuptum tradentes, usque ad eum diem, quo intravit Noë in arcam, + +** Matthew 24:39 + +et non cognoverunt donec venit diluvium, et tulit omnes : ita erit et adventus Filii hominis. + +** Matthew 24:40 + +Tunc duo erunt in agro : unus assumetur, et unus relinquetur. + +** Matthew 24:41 + +Duæ molentes in mola : una assumetur, et una relinquetur. + +** Matthew 24:42 + +Vigilate ergo, quia nescitis qua hora Dominus

+Ideo et vos estote parati : quia qua nescitis hora Filius hominis venturus est. + +** Matthew 24:45 + +Quis, putas, est fidelis servus, et prudens, quem constituit dominus suus super familiam suam ut

constituet eum. + +** Matthew 24:48 + +Si autem dixerit malus servus ille in corde suo : Moram fecit dominus meus venire : + +** Matthew 24:49 + +et cœperit percutere conservos suos, manducet autem et

erit fletus et stridor dentium. + +* Matthew 25 + +** Matthew 25:1 + +Tunc simile erit regnum cælorum decem virginibus : quæ accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsæ. + +** Matthew 25:2 + +Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuæ, et quinque prudentes : + +** Matthew 25:3 + +sed quinque fatuæ, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum : + +** Matthew 25:4 + +prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus. + +** Matthew 25:5 + +Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt. + +** Matthew 25:6 + +Media autem nocte clamor factus est : Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei. + +** Matthew 25:7 + +Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illæ, et ornaverunt lampades suas. + +** Matthew 25:8 + +Fatuæ autem sapientibus dixerunt : Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostræ extinguuntur. + +** Matthew 25:9 + +Responderunt prudentes, dicentes : Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis. + +** Matthew 25:10 + +Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus : et quæ paratæ erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua. + +** Matthew 25:11 + +Novissime vero veniunt et reliquæ virgines, dicentes : Domine, domine, aperi nobis. + +** Matthew 25:12 + +At ille respondens, ait : Amen dico vobis, nescio vos. + +** Matthew 25:13 + +Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam. + +** Matthew 25:14 + +Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua. + +** Matthew 25:15 + +Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem : et profectus est statim. + +** Matthew 25:16 + +Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque. + +** Matthew 25:17 + +Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo. + +** Matthew 25:18 + +Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui. + +** Matthew 25:19 + +Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis. + +** Matthew 25:20 + +Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens : Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum. + +** Matthew 25:21 + +Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam ; intra in gaudium domini tui. + +** Matthew 25:22 + +Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait : Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum. + +** Matthew 25:23 + +Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam ; intra in gaudium domini tui. + +** Matthew 25:24 + +Accedens autem et qui unum talentum acceperat, ait : Domine, scio quia homo durus es ; metis ubi non seminasti, et congregas ubi non sparsisti : + +** Matthew 25:25 + +et timens abii, et abscondi talentum tuum in terra : ecce habes quod tuum est. + +** Matthew 25:26 + +Respondens autem dominus ejus, dixit ei : Serve male, et piger, sciebas quia meto ubi non semino, et congrego ubi non sparsi : + +** Matthew 25:27 + +oportuit ergo te committere pecuniam meam numulariis, et veniens ego recepissem utique quod meum est cum usura. + +** Matthew 25:28 + +Tollite itaque ab eo talentum, et date ei qui habet decem talenta : + +** Matthew 25:29 + +omni enim habenti dabitur, et abundabit : ei autem qui non habet, et quod videtur habere, auferetur ab eo. + +** Matthew 25:30 + +Et inutilem servum ejicite in tenebras exteriores : illic erit fletus, et stridor dentium. + +** Matthew 25:31 + +Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in majestate sua, et omnes angeli cum eo, tunc sedebit super sedem majestatis suæ : + +** Matthew 25:32 + +et congregabuntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separabit eos ab invicem, sicut pastor segregat oves ab hædis : + +** Matthew 25:33 + +et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hædos autem a sinistris. + +** Matthew 25:34 + +Tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris ejus erunt : Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi : + +** Matthew 25:35 + +esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare : sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere : hospes eram, et collegistis me : + +** Matthew 25:36 + +nudus, et cooperuistis me : infirmus, et visitastis me : in carcere eram, et venistis ad me. + +** Matthew 25:37 + +Tunc respondebunt ei justi, dicentes : Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, et pavimus te : sitientem, et dedimus tibi potum ? + +** Matthew 25:38 + +quando autem te vidimus hospitem, et collegimus te : aut nudum, et cooperuimus te ? + +** Matthew 25:39 + +aut quando te vidimus infirmum, aut in carcere, et venimus ad te ? + +** Matthew 25:40 + +Et respondens rex, dicet illis : Amen dico vobis, quamdiu fecistis uni ex his fratribus meis minimis, mihi fecistis. + +** Matthew 25:41 + +Tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt : Discedite a me maledicti in ignem æternum, qui paratus est diabolo, et angelis ejus : + +** Matthew 25:42 + +esurivi enim, et non dedistis mihi manducare : sitivi, et non dedistis mihi potum : + +** Matthew 25:43 + +hospes eram, et non collegistis me : nudus, et non cooperuistis me : infirmus, et in carcere, et non visitastis me. + +** Matthew 25:44 + +Tunc respondebunt ei et ipsi, dicentes : Domine, quando te vidimus esurientem, aut sitientem, aut hospitem, aut nudum, aut infirmum, aut in carcere, et non ministravimus tibi ? + +** Matthew 25:45 + +Tunc respondebit illis, dicens : Amen dico vobis : Quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his, nec mihi fecistis. + +** Matthew 25:46 + +Et ibunt hi in supplicium æternum : justi autem in vitam æternam. + +* Matthew 26 + +** Matthew 26:1 + +Et factum est : cum consummasset Jesus sermones hos omnes,

At illi dixerunt : Quid ad nos ? tu videris. + +** Matthew 27:5 + +Et projectis argenteis in templo, recessit : et abiens laqueo se suspendit. + +** Matthew 27:6 + +Principes autem sacerdotum, acceptis argenteis, dixerunt : Non licet eos mittere in corbonam : quia pretium sanguinis est. + +** Matthew 27:7 + +Consilio autem inito, emerunt ex illis agrum figuli, in sepulturam peregrinorum. + +** Matthew 27:8 + +Propter hoc vocatus est ager ille, Haceldama, hoc est, Ager sanguinis, usque in hodiernum diem. + +** Matthew 27:9 + +Tunc impletum est quod dictum est per Jeremiam prophetam, dicentem : Et acceperunt triginta argenteos pretium appretiati, quem appretiaverunt a filiis Israël : + +** Matthew 27:10 + +et dederunt eos in agrum figuli, sicut constituit mihi Dominus. + +** Matthew 27:11 + +Jesus autem stetit ante præsidem, et interrogavit eum præses, dicens : Tu es rex Judæorum ?

Ait illis præses : Quid enim mali fecit ? At illi magis clamabant dicentes : Crucifigatur. + +** Matthew 27:24 + +Videns autem Pilatus quia nihil proficeret, sed magis tumultus fieret : accepta aqua, lavit manus coram populo, dicens : Innocens ego sum a sanguine justi hujus : vos videritis. + +** Matthew 27:25 + +Et respondens universus populus, dixit : Sanguis ejus super nos, et super filios nostros. + +** Matthew 27:26 + +Tunc dimisit illis Barabbam : Jesum autem flagellatum tradidit eis ut crucifigeretur. + +** Matthew 27:27 + +Tunc milites præsidis suscipientes Jesum in prætorium, congregaverunt ad eum universam cohortem : + +** Matthew 27:28 + +et exuentes eum, chlamydem coccineam circumdederunt ei, + +** Matthew 27:29 + +et plectentes coronam de spinis, posuerunt super caput ejus, et arundinem in dextera ejus.

Illaque respondit : Ego sum Ruth ancilla tua : expande pallium tuum super famulam tuam, quia propinquus es. + +** Ruth 3:10 + +Et ille : Benedicta, inquit, es a Domino, filia, et priorem misericordiam posteriore superasti : quia non est secuta juvenes, pauperes sive divites. + +** Ruth 3:11 + +Noli ergo metuere, sed quidquid dixeris mihi, faciam tibi. Scit enim omnis populus, qui habitat intra portas urbis meæ, mulierem te esse virtutis. + +** Ruth 3:12 + +Nec abnuo me propinquum, sed est alius me propinquior. + +** Ruth 3:13 + +Quiesce hac nocte : et facto mane, si te voluerit propinquitatis jure retinere, bene res acta est : sin autem ille noluerit, ego te absque ulla dubitatione suscipiam, vivit Dominus.

Surrexit itaque antequam homines se cognoscerent mutuo, et dixit Booz : Cave ne quis noverit quod huc veneris. + +** Ruth 3:15 + +Et rursum : Expande, inquit, pallium tuum, quo operiris, et tene utraque manu. Qua extendente, et tenente, mensus est sex modios hordei, et posuit super eam. Quæ portans ingressa est civitatem, + +** Ruth 3:16 + +et venit ad socrum suam. Quæ dixit ei : Quid egisti, filia ?

Vos, inquam, hujus rei testes estis. + +** Ruth 4:11 + +Respondit omnis populus, qui erat in porta, et majores natu : Nos testes sumus : faciat Dominus hanc mulierem, quæ ingreditur domum tuam, sicut Rachel et Liam, quæ ædificaverunt domum Israël : ut sit exemplum virtutis in Ephratha, et habeat celebre nomen in Bethlehem : + +** Ruth 4:12 + +fiatque domus tua sicut domus Phares, quem Thamar peperit Judæ, de semine quod tibi dederit Dominus ex hac puella. + +** Ruth 4:13 + +Tulit itaque Booz Ruth, et accepit uxorem : ingressusque est ad eam, et dedit illi Dominus ut conciperet, et pareret filium. + +** Ruth 4:14 + +Dixeruntque mulieres ad Noëmi : Benedictus Dominus, qui non est passus ut deficeret successor familiæ tuæ, et vocaretur nomen ejus in Israël : + +** Ruth 4:15 + +et habeas qui consoletur animam tuam, et enutriat senectutem : de nuru enim tua natus est, quæ te diligit, et multo tibi melior est, quam si septem haberes filios. + +** Ruth 4:16 + +Susceptumque Noëmi puerum
