 PREFACE. 
 
 The Revision of the Authorised Version was undertaken in consequence 
 of a Resolution passed by both houses of the Convocation of the Province of 
 Canterbury, as has been fully explained in the Preface to the Revised Version 
 of the New Testament, which was ffrst published in May 1881. When the 
 Wo Companies were appointed for carrying out this work, the following 
 General Principles, among others, were laid down by the Revision Committee 
 of Convocation for their guidance : — 
 
 ‘1. To introduce as few alterations as possible into the Text of the 
 Authorised Version consistently with faithfulness.’ 
 
 6 2. To limit, as far as possible, the expression of such alterations to the 
 language of the Authorised and earlier English Versions.’ 
 
 ‘4. That the Text to be adopted be that for which the evidence is 
 decidedly preponderating ; and that when the Text so adopted differs from 
 that from which the Authorised Version was made, the alteration be indic- 
 ated in the margin.’ 
 
 ‘7. To revise the headings of chapters and pages, paragraphs, italics, 
 and punctuation.’ 
 
 In order to shew the manner in which the Old Testament Company have 
 endeavoured to carry out their instructions, it will be convenient to treat 
 the subjects mentioned in the foregoing rules in a somewhat different order. 
 
 It will be observed that in Rule 4 the word ‘Text’ is used in a different 
 sense from that in Rule 1, and in the case of the Old Testament denotes the 
 Hebrew or Aramaic original of the several books. In this respect the task 
 of the Revisers has been much simpler than that which the New Testament 
 Company nad before them. The Received, or, as it is commonly called, 
 the Massoretic Text of the Old Testament Scriptures has come down to us in 
 manuscripts which are of no very great antiquity, and which all belong to 
 the same family or recension 1 . That other recensions were at one time 
 in existence is probable from the variations in the Ancient Versions, the 
 oldest of which, namely the Greek or Septuagint, was made, at least in 
 part, some two centuries before the Christian era. But as the state of 
 knowledge on the subject is not at present such as to justify any attempt 
 at an entire reconstruction of the text on the authority of the Versions, the 
 Revisers have thought it most prudent to adopt the Massoretic Text as the 
 basis of their work, and to depart from it, as the Authorised Translators 
 had done 2 , only in exceptional cases. With regard to the variations in the 
 Massoretic Text itself, the Revisers have endeavoured to translate what 
 appeared to them to be the best reading in the text, and where the alternative 
 reading seemed sufficiently probable or important they have placed it in the 
 margin. In some few instances of extreme difficulty a reading has been 
 adopted on the authority of the Ancient Versions, and the departure from 
 the Massoretic Text recorded in the margin. In other cases, where the 
 versions appeared to supply a very probable though not so necessary a 
 correction of the text, the text has been left and the variation indicated in 
 the margin only. 
 
 In endeavouring to carry out as fully as possible the spirit of Rules 1 and 
 2, the Revisers have borne in mind that it was their duty not to make a new 
 translation but to revise one already existing, which for more than two

 centuries and a half had held the position of an English classic. They have 
 therefore departed from it only in cases where they disagreed with the 
 Translators of 1611 as to the meaning or construction of a word or sentence ; 
 or where it was necessary for the sake of uniformity to render such parallel 
 passages as were identical in Hebrew by the same English words, so that 
 an English reader might know at once by comparison that a difference in the 
 translation corresponded to a difference in the original; or where the language 
 of the Authorised Version was liable to be misunderstood by reason of its 
 being archaic or obscure ; or finally, where the rendering of an earlier English 
 version seemed preferable, or where by an apparently slight change it was 
 possible to bring out more fully the meaning of a passage of which the trans- 
 lation was already substantially accurate. 
 
 It has been thought advisable in regard to the word £ Jehovah’ to follow 
 the usage of the Authorised Version, and not to insert it uniformly in place 
 of 4 Lord 5 or 4 God’, which when printed in small capitals represent the words 
 substituted by Jewish custom for the ineffable Name according to the vowel 
 points by which it is distinguished. It will be found therefore that in this 
 respect the Authorised Version has been departed from only in a few passages, 
 in which the introduction of a proper name seemed to be required. 
 
 Terms of natural history have been changed only where it was certain 
 that the Authorised Version was incorrect and where there was sufficient 
 evidence for the substituted rendering. In cases of doubt the alternative 
 rendering has been given in the margin ; and even where no doubt existed, 
 but where there was no familiar English equivalent for the original word, 
 the Old Version has been allowed to remain 1 , and the more accurate term has 
 been placed in the margin. 
 
 In some words of very frequent occurrence, the Authorised Version being 
 either inadequate or inconsistent, and sometimes misleading, changes have 
 been introduced with as much uniformity as appeared practicable or desirable. 
 For in stance, 4 the tabernacle of the congregation’ has been everywhere 
 changed to 4 the tent of meeting’, on account of Exodus xxv. 22, xxix. 42, 43, 
 and also because 4 the tabernacle of the congregation’ conveys an entirely 
 wrong sense. The words 4 tabernacle ’ and 4 tent ’, as the renderings of two 
 different Hebrew words, are in the Authorised Version frequently inter- 
 changed in such a manner as to lead to confusion ; and the Eevisers have 
 endeavoured throughout the Pentateuch to preserve a consistent distinction 
 between them. Their practice in regard to the words 4 assembly ’ and 4 con- 
 gregation’ has been the same in principle, although they have contented 
 themselves with introducing greater consistency of rendering without aiming 
 at absolute uniformity. In consequence of the changes which have taken 
 place in the English language, the term 4 meat offering ’ has become in- 
 appropriate to describe an offering of which flesh was no part ; and by 
 the alteration to 4 meal offering’ a sufficiently accurate representation of the 
 original has been obtained with the least possible change of form. 
 
 As regards the use of words, there are only a few cases in which it has 
 been found needful to deviate from the language employed in the Authorised 
 Version. One of these deviations occurs so frequently that it may be well to 
 state briefly why it was adopted. The word ‘peoples’ was nowhere used by 
 King James’s Translators in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament 
 it occurs only twice (Eev. x. 11, xvii. 15). The effect of this was to leave 
 the rendering of numerous passages inadequate or obscure or even positively 
 misleading. Thus in one of the best known Psalms (Ps. lxvii.), where the 
 Septuagint has A not and the Vulgate po]?uli, the English had 4 Let the people 
 praise thee, 0 God ; let all the people praise thee ’ ; leaving it at least doubtful 
 
 1 As for instance, ‘ coney ’ (Lev. xi. 5), ‘fitches ’ (Is. xxviii. 25, 27), ‘ gourd ’ (Jon. iv. 6).

 whether the ‘nations’ of verse 4, or God’s people, Israel, be referred to. And 
 in Isaiah lv. 4, ‘ Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader 
 and commander to the people’, the word ‘people’ is naturally understood by 
 the English reader to refer to Israel. 
 
 Again, the Hebrew word goyim ‘nations’, which is applied to the nations 
 of Canaan dispossessed by the Hebrews, and then also to the surrounding 
 nations among whom the people of Israel were afterwards dispersed, acquired 
 in later times a moral significance, which is represented in the Authorised 
 Version by the rendering ‘heathen’ or ‘Gentiles’. While recognizing this 
 moral sense of the word, the Revisers have employed it much more sparingly 
 than their predecessors had done. 
 
 Similarly, the Hebrew Sheol , which signifies the abode of departed spirits, 
 and corresponds to the Greek Hades, or the under world, is variously rendered 
 in the Authorised Version by ‘grave’, ‘pit’, and ‘hell’. Of these renderings 
 ‘hell’, if it could be taken in its original sense as used in the Creeds, would 
 be a fairly adequate equivalent for the Hebrew word ; but it is so commonly 
 understood of the place of torment that to employ it frequently would lead 
 to inevitable misunderstanding. The Revisers therefore in the historical 
 narratives have left the rendering ‘the grave’ or ‘the pit’ in the test, with a 
 marginal note ‘Heb. Sheol* to indicate that it does not signify ‘the place of 
 burial’; while in the poetical writings they have put most commonly ‘Sheol’ 
 in the text and ‘the grave’ in the margin. In Isaiah xiv. however, where 
 ‘ hell ’ is used in more of its original sense and is less liable to be mis- 
 understood, and where any change in so familiar a passage which was not 
 distinctly an improvement would be a decided loss, the Revisers have con- 
 tented themselves with leaving ‘ hell ’ in the text, and have connected it 
 with other passages by putting ‘ Sheol ’ in the margin. 
 
 In connexion with this it may be mentioned that ‘ Abaddon ’, which has 
 hitherto been known to the English reader of the Bible only from the New 
 Testament (Rev. ix. 11), has been introduced in three passages (Job xxvi. 6; 
 Prov. xv. 11, xx vii. 20), where a proper name appears to be required for giving 
 vividness and point. 
 
 The Hebrew word Asher ah, which is uniformly and wrongly rendered ‘grove’ 
 in the Authorised Version, most probably denotes the wooden symbol of a 
 goddess ; and the Revisers therefore have not hesitated to introduce it as a 
 proper name in the singular (Judg. vi. 25, &c.), with the plurals Asherim (Ex. 
 xxxiv. 13, &c.) and Aslieroth (Judg. iii. 7, &c.), following the analogy of the 
 Baalim (Judg. iii. 7) and the Ashtaroth (Judg. ii. 13), which are already familiar. 
 
 In regard to the language of the Authorised Version, the Revisers have 
 thought it no part of their duty to reduce it to conformity with modern 
 usage, and have therefore left untouched all archaisms, whether of language 
 or construction, which though not in familiar use cause a reader no embarrass- 
 ment and lead to no misunderstanding. They are aware that in so doing 
 they will disappoint the large English-speaking race on the other side of 
 the Atlantic, and it is a question upon which they are prepared to agree 
 to a friendly difference of opinion. The principle by which they have been 
 guided has been clear and consistent. Where an archaic word or expression 
 was liable to be misunderstood or at least was not perfectly intelligible, they 
 have substituted for it another, in equally good use at the time the Authorised 
 Version was made, and expressing all that the archaism was intended to 
 convey, but more familiar to the modern reader. In such cases the gain 
 was greater than the loss. But in other instances where the word or ex- 
 pression, although obsolete, was not unintelligible, it was thought that the 
 change would involve greater loss than gain, and the old rendering was 
 therefore allowed to stand. More especially was this the case when the 
 archaism was a perfectly correct rendering of the original and there was no

 exact modern equivalent for it. The principle adopted by the Company 
 will be best illustrated by two typical examples. The verb 4 to ear 5 in the 
 sense of 4 to plough 5 and the substantive 4 earing 5 for 4 ploughing 5 were 
 very reluctantly abandoned, and only because it was ascertained that their 
 meaning was unknown to many persons of good intelligence and education. 
 But it was easy to put in their place equivalents which had a pedigree of 
 almost equal antiquity, and it would have been an excess of conservatism 
 to refuse to substitute for an unintelligible archaism an expression to which 
 no ambiguity could be attached. On the other hand the word 4 boiled 5 (Ex. 
 ix. 31), which signifies ‘podded for seed 5 and is known in provincial dialects, 
 has no synonym in literary English. To have discarded it in favour of a 
 less accurate or more paraphrastic expression would have been to impoverish 
 the language ; and it was therefore left, because it exactly expresses one view 
 which is taken of the meaning of the original. 
 
 One of the few instances in which the language of the Authorised Version 
 has been modified in accordance with later usage is the change of the neuter 
 possessive pronoun from 4 his 5 to 4 its \ It is well known that 4 its 5 does not 
 occur in the Bible of 1611, and it does not appear to have been introduced 
 into any edition before 1660. But it is found ten times in Shakespeare, and 
 there is other evidence to shew that at the time of the Authorised Version 
 it was coming into use. It was found necessary in some cases to substitute 
 4 its 5 for 4 his 5 in order to avoid obscurity, and there seemed no good reason, 
 when it was once introduced, for refusing to admit it generally when it re- 
 ferred to purely inanimate objects. 
 
 In making minor changes, whether in translation or language, the Revisers 
 have followed the example of the translators of the Authorised Version, who 
 allowed themselves in this respect a reasonable freedom, without permitting 
 their liberty to degenerate into license. 
 
 It will be at once seen that the old division of the books into chapters 
 and verses has been abandoned in favour of the arrangement in paragraphs, 
 the numbering of the chapters and verses being however retained for con- 
 venience of reference. Where the change of subject seemed to require a 
 greater break than was marked by the beginning of a new paragraph, it has 
 been indicated by a space before the paragraph. Occasionally the divisions 
 of the chapters in the Authorised Version differ from those in the common 
 Hebrew Bibles. In such cases the variations are given in the margin. In 
 the Psalms, the titles are printed in smaller type, as in some modern English 
 Bibles, which differ in this respect from the edition of 1611. One con- 
 sequence of the arrangement in paragraphs has been the omission of the 
 headings of chapters, which for other and more important reasons it was 
 thought advisable to abandon, as involving questions which belong rather 
 to the province of the commentator than to that of the translator. With 
 the headings of chapters the head-lines of pages naturally disappeared also, 
 and for the same reason. 
 
 In the poetical portions, besides the division into paragraphs, the Revisers 
 have adopted an arrangement in lines, so as to exhibit the parallelism which 
 is characteristic of Hebrew Poetry. But they have not extended this arrange- 
 ment to the prophetical books, the language of which although frequently 
 marked by parallelism is, except in purely lyrical passages, rather of the 
 nature of lofty and impassioned prose. 
 
 In the use of italics the Revisers departed from the custom of the 
 Authorised Version and adopted as their rule the following resolution of 
 their Company : 
 
 4 That all such words now printed in italics, as are plainly implied in the 
 Hebrew and necessary in English, be printed in common type. 5 
 
 But where any doubt existed as to the exact rendering of the Hebrew,

 all words which have been added in order to give completeness to the 
 English expression are printed in italic type, so that the reader by omitting 
 them may be able to see how far their insertion is justified by the words of 
 the original. This of course is especially true of those renderings for which 
 an alternative is given in the margin, where the roman and italic type play 
 exactly opposite parts. 
 
 To complete the account of the Revised Version it remains only to 
 describe the marginal notes. These will be found to contain 
 
 (1) The renderings of such variations in the Massoretic Text as appeared 
 to be of sufficient importance. These variations are known by the technical 
 names of K’ri (read) and C’thib (written), which denote that the K’ri, or 
 reading in the margin of the Hebrew Bible, is to be substituted for the 
 C’thib which appears in the written text. The Revisers have generally, 
 though not uniformly, rendered the C’thib in the text, and left the K’ri 
 in the margin, with the introductory note 4 Or, according to another reading ’, 
 or 4 Another reading is ’. When the K’ri has been followed in the text, the 
 C’thib has been placed in the margin, if it represented a variation of sufficient 
 importance. 
 
 (2) Alternative renderings, introduced by 4 Or ’. These are either dif- 
 ferent meanings of the word or passage, or they serve to connect it with other 
 renderings elsewhere. 
 
 (3) Literal renderings of the Hebrew or Aramaic, indicated by the prefix 
 4 Heb.’ or 4 Aram.’ 
 
 (4) Changes of text made on the authority of the ancient Versions. 
 
 (5) Readings from ancient Versions which appeared to be of sufficient 
 importance to be noticed. 
 
 (6) Renderings of the Hebrew consonants as read with different vowel 
 points, or as differently divided. These are introduced by the words 4 Or, as 
 otherwise read’. 
 
 (7) Marginal references to other passages, which are either strictly 
 parallel, or serve the purpose of illustrating or justifying a particular ren- 
 dering. 
 
 (8) Explanations of certain proper names, the meaning of which is 
 referred to in the text. 
 
 In the Proper Names the Revisers have endeavoured to ascertain the 
 system of transliteration adopted by the Translators of the Authorised Version 
 and to carry it out with somewhat greater consistency. They have not how- 
 ever attempted anything like rigid uniformity, and have left unchanged all 
 those names which by usage have become English; as, for instance, Moses, 
 Aaron, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the like. 
 
 Among the Rules laid down by the Revision Committee of Convocation 
 for the guidance of the Revisers was one that no change should be finally 
 made in the text of the Authorised Version except by the vote of two-thirds 
 of the Company present and voting ; and this Rule has been invariably acted 
 upon. The result has been that in many cases a rendering which was pre- 
 ferred by the majority of the Company voting has been recorded in the 
 margin, the majority not being sufficient to give it a place in the text. But 
 all questions of marginal readings, as well as of punctuation and division into 
 paragraphs, except where these affected the sense of a passage, were decided 
 by a simple majority. 
 
 It may be of some interest to describe the method observed by the 
 Company in their work, if only to shew that every question raised was 
 carefully and deliberately considered. In the first Revision it was the 
 practice for the Secretary to read over each verse, first in the original and then 
 in the Authorised Version: the proposals for change were then taken; first 
 those communicated in writing by absent members, and next those made by 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 the members present. Each proposal was moved, and if seconded was dis- 
 cussed and voted upon; the decision in the first Revision being by a majority 
 only. If a proposal met with no seconder, it was not discussed but allowed to 
 drop. In the second Revision, the Secretary read out in order the changes 
 which had been made at the first Revision ; if these were unchallenged they 
 were allowed to remain, otherwise they were put to the vote and affirmed or 
 rejected according as they were or were not supported by the requisite majority 
 of two-thirds. In the second Revision new propositions could only be made 
 by special permission of the Company, and discussion was limited, as far as 
 possible, to exceptional cases. In the final review, which was in reality the 
 completion of the second Revision, the Company employed themselves in 
 making a general survey of what they had done, deciding finally upon reserved 
 points, harmonizing inconsistencies, smoothing down roughnesses, removing 
 unnecessary changes, and generally giving finish and completeness to their 
 work. Everything in this final survey was decided by the vote of a majority 
 of two-thirds. 
 
 The Revisers had already made some progress, and had in fact gone 
 twice through the Pentateuch, before they secured the co-operation of the 
 American Old Testament Revision Company. The first Revision of the 
 several books was submitted to the consideration of the American Revisers, 
 and, except in the case of the Pentateuch, the English Company had the 
 benefit of their criticisms and suggestions before they proceeded to the 
 second Revision. The second Revision was in like manner forwarded to 
 America, and the latest thoughts of the American Revisers were in the 
 hands of the English Company at their final review. In every instance the 
 suggestions from America were treated with the same consideration as those 
 proceeding from members of the English Company, and were adopted or 
 rejected on their merits. It was a part of the terms of agreement with the 
 American Company that all points of ultimate difference between them and 
 the English Revisers should be placed on record, and they will accordingly 
 be found fully stated at the end of the Old Testament, or at the end of the 
 several portions, according as the Revised Version appears in one or more 
 volumes. Many of them will be found to be changes of language which are 
 involved in the essentially different circumstances of American and English 
 readers; others express a preference for the marginal rendering over that 
 given in the text ; others again involve a real difference of opinion ; but all 
 shew that they have been dictated by the same leading principle, the sincere 
 desire to give to modern readers a faithful representation of the meaning of 
 the original documents. 
 
 It could not but be expected that in the course of fourteen years many 
 changes would take place in the members of the Company. Of the original 
 number who first put their hands to the work on the 30th of June 1870, only 
 fifteen now remain. Ten of the Company have been removed by death, and 
 two resigned: the places of these were filled from time to time by others; 
 but since October 1875 no new members have been added. The Revision 
 was completed in eighty-five sessions, ending on 20th June, 1884; and it 
 occupied 792 days. The greater part of the sessions were for ten days each, 
 and each day the .Company generally sat for six hours. The labour therefore 
 has been great, but it has been given ungrudgingly ; and now with a feeling 
 of deep thankfulness to Almighty God, and the earnest hope that their endea- 
 vours may with His blessing tend to a clearer knowledge of the Old Testament 
 Scriptures, the Revisers bring their long task to a close.

 the spirit of God 1 moved upon the

 Let there he light: and there was

 the light Day, and the darkness lie'

 let it divide the waters from the waters. 
 
 7 And God made the firmament, and di- 
 vided the waters which were under 
 the firmament from the waters which 
 were above the firmament : and it was 
 
 8 so. And God called the firmament 
 Heaven. And there was evening and 
 there was morning, a second day. 
 
 9 And God said, Let the waters under 
 the heaven be gathered together unto 
 one place, and let the dry land ap- 
 
 10 pear : and it was so. And God called 
 the dry land Earth ; and the gathering 
 together of the waters called he Seas : 
 
 11 and God saw that it was good. And 
 God said, Let the earth put forth grass, 
 herb yielding seed, and fruit tree bear- 
 ing fruit after its kind, wherein is the 
 seed thereof, upon the earth : and it was 
 
 12 so. And the earth brought forth grass, 
 herb yielding seed after its kind, and 
 tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed 
 thereof, after its kind: and God saw 
 
 13 that it was good. And there w’as even- 
 ing and there was morning, a third day. 
 
 14 And God said, Let there be lights in 
 the firmament of the heaven to divide 
 the day from the night ; and let them 
 be for signs, and for seasons, and for 
 
 15 days and years: and let them be for 
 lights in the firmament of the heaven 
 to give light upon the earth: and it 
 
 16 w T as so. And God made the two great 
 lights ; the greater light to rule the 
 day, and the lesser light to rule the 
 
 17 night: he made the stars also. And 
 God set them in the firmament of the 
 heaven to give light upon the earth, 
 
 18 and to rule over the day and over the 
 night, and to divide the light from the 
 darkness: and God saw’ that it was 
 
 19 good. And there was evening and 
 there was morning, a fourth day. 
 
 20 And God said, Let the waters 3 bring 
 forth abundantly the moving creature 
 that hath life, and let fowl fly above 
 the earth 4 in the open firmament of 
 
 21 heaven. And God created the great 
 sea-monsters, and every living crea- 
 ture that moveth, which the waters 
 brought forth abundantly, after their 
 kinds, and every winged fowl after 
 its kind: and God saw that it was 
 
 22 good. And God blessed them, saying, 
 Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the 
 waters in the seas, and let fowl mul- 
 
 23tiply in the earth. And there was 
 evening and there w T as morning, a 
 fifth day. 
 
 24 And God said, Let the earth bring 
 forth the living creature after its kind, 
 cattle, and creeping thing, and beast 
 of the earth after its kind : and it was 
 
 25 so. And God made the beast of the 
 earth after its kind, and the cattle 
 after their kind, and every thing that 
 creepetli upon the ground after its 
 kind : and God saw that it was good. 
 
 26 And God said, Let us make man in 
 our image, after our likeness : and let 
 them have dominion over the fish of 
 the sea, and over the fowl of the air, 
 and over the cattle, and over all 
 the earth, and over every creeping 
 thing that creepetli upon the earth. 
 
 27 And God created man in his own 
 image, in the image of God created 
 he him ; male and female created he 
 
 28 them. And God blessed them : and 
 God said unto them, Be fruitful, and 
 multiply, and replenish the earth, and 
 subdue it ; and have dominion over the 
 fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the 
 air, and over every living thing that 
 
 29 5 moveth upon the earth. And God 
 said, Behold, I have given you every 
 herb yielding seed, which is upon the 
 face of all the earth, and every tree, in 
 the which is the fruit of a tree yield- 
 ing seed ; to you it shall be for meat : 
 
 30 and to every beast of the earth, and to 
 every fowl of the air, and to every 
 thing that creepetli upon the earth, 
 wherein there is 6 life, I have given 
 every green herb for meat : and it 
 
 31 was so. And God saw every thing 
 that he had made, and, behold, it was

 there was morning, the sixth day. 
 
 2 And the heaven and the earth were 
 finished, and all the host of them. 
 
 2 And on the seventh day God finished 
 his work which he had made ; and he 
 rested on the seventh day from all his 
 
 3 work which he had made. And God 
 blessed the seventh day, and hallowed 
 it : because that in it he rested from 
 all his work which God had created 
 and made. 
 
 4 These are the generations of the hea- 
 ven and of the earth when they were 
 created, in the day that 1 the Lord 
 
 5 God made earth and heaven. And no 
 plant of the field was yet in the earth, 
 and no herb of the field had yet sprung 
 up : for the Lord God had not caused 
 it to rain upon the earth, and there 
 w r as not a man to till the ground; 
 
 6 but there went up a mist from the 
 earth, and "watered the whole face of 
 
 7 the ground. And the Lord God form- 
 ed man of the dust of the ground, and 
 breathed into his nostrils the breath 
 of life ; and man became a living soul. 
 
 8 And the Lord God planted a garden 
 eastward, in Eden; and there he put 
 
 9 the man whom he had formed. And 
 out of the ground made the Lord God 
 to grow every tree that is pleasant to 
 the sight, and good for food ; the tree 
 of life also in the midst of the garden, 
 and the tree of the knowledge of good 
 
 10 and evil. And a river went out of 
 Eden to water the garden ; and from 
 thence it was parted, and became four 
 
 11 heads. The name of the first is Pi- 
 shon : that is it which compasseth the 
 whole land of Havilah, where there is 
 
 12 gold ; and the gold of that land is 
 good : there is bdellium and the 2 onyx 
 
 13 stone. And the name of the second 
 river is Gihon: the same is it that 
 compasseth the whole land of Cush. 
 
 14 And the name of the third river is 
 8 Hiddekel : that is it which goeth 4 in 
 front of Assyria. And the fourth 
 
 15 river is Euphrates. And the Lord 
 God took the man, and put him into 
 the garden of Eden to dress it and to 
 
 16 keep it. And the Lord God com- 
 manded the man, saying, Of every 
 tree of the garden thou mayest freely 
 
 17 eat: but of the tree of the knowledge 
 of good and evil, thou slialt not eat of 
 it: for in the day that thou eatest 
 thereof thou shalt surely die. 
 
 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good 
 that the man should be alone ; I will 
 
 19 make him an help 5 meet for him. And 
 out of the ground the Lord God formed 
 every beast of the field, and every fowl 
 of the air ; and brought them unto the 
 man to see what he would call them: 
 and whatsoever the man called every 
 living creature, that was the name 
 
 20 thereof. And the man gave names to 
 
 all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, 
 and to every beast of the field ; but for 
 G man there was not found an help meet 
 
 21 for him. And the Lord God caused a 
 deep sleep to fall upon the man, and 
 he slept ; and he took one of his ribs, 
 and closed up the flesh instead thereof : 
 
 22 and the rib, which the Lord God had 
 taken from the man, 7 made he a woman, 
 
 23 and brought her unto the man. And 
 the man said, This is now bone of my 
 bones, and flesh of my flesh : she shall 
 be called 8 Woman, because she was 
 
 24 taken out of 9 Man. Therefore shall a 
 man leave his father and his mother, 
 and shall cleave unto his wife: and 
 
 25 they shall be one flesh. And they were 
 both naked, the man and his wife, 
 and were not ashamed. 
 
 3 Now the serpent was more subtil than 
 any beast of the field which the Lord 
 God had made. And he said unto the 
 woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not 
 
 2 eat of 10 any tree of the garden ? And the 
 woman said unto the serpent, Of the 
 fruit of the trees of the garden we may 
 
 3 eat : but of the fruit of the tree which 
 is in the midst of the garden, God hath 
 said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall 
 
 4 ye touch it, lest ye die. And the ser- 
 pent said unto the woman, Ye shall not 
 
 5 surely die : for God doth know that in 
 the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes 
 shall be opened, and ye shall be as n God, 
 
 6 knowing good and evil. And when 
 the woman saw that the tree was good 
 for food, and that it was a delight to 
 the eyes, and that the tree was 12 to be 
 desired to make one wise, she took of 
 the fruit thereof, and did eat ; and she 
 gave also unto her husband with her, 
 
 7 and he did eat. And the eyes of them 
 both were opened, and they knew that 
 they were naked ; and they sewed fig 
 leaves together, and made themselves 
 
 8 13 aprons. And they heard the 14 voice 
 of the Lord God walking in the gar- 
 den in the 15 cool of the day: and the 
 man and his wife hid themselves from 
 the presence of the Lord God amongst 
 
 9 the trees of the garden. And the Lord 
 God called unto the man, and said un- 
 
 10 to him, Where art thou ? And he said, 
 I heard thy 14 voice in the garden, and 
 I was afraid, because I was naked ; and 
 
 11 1 hid myself. And he said, Who told 
 thee that thou w 7 ast naked ? Hast thou 
 eaten of the tree, whereof I command- 
 ed thee that thou shouldest not eat? 
 
 12 And the man said, The woman whom 
 thou gavest to be with me, she gave 
 
 13 me of the tree, and I did eat. And the 
 Lord God said unto the woman, What 
 is this thou hast done ? And the wo- 
 man said, The serpent beguiled me, 
 
 14 and I did eat. And the Lord God 
 said unto the serpent, Because thou 
 hast done this, cursed art thou 16 above 
 all cattle, and 16 above every beast of

 5 This is the hook of the generations 
 of Adam. In the day that God created 
 man, in the likeness of God made he 
 
 2 him ; male and female created he them ; 
 and blessed them, and called their 
 name iAdam, in the day when they 
 
 3 were created. And Adam lived an 
 hundred and thirty years, and begat 
 a son in his own likeness, after his 
 image ; and called his name Seth : 
 
 4 and the days of Adam after he begat 
 Seth were eight hundred years: and 
 
 5 he begat sons and daughters. And all 
 the days that Adam lived were nine 
 hundred and thirty years : and he died. 
 
 6 And Seth lived an hundred and five 
 
 7 years, and begat Enosli : and Seth lived 
 after he begat Enosli eight hundred 
 and seven years, and begat sons and 
 
 8 daughters: and all the days of Seth 
 were nine hundred and twelve years: 
 and he died. 
 
 9 And Enosli lived ninety years, and be- 
 lt) gat Kenan : and Enosli lived after he 
 begat Kenan eight hundred and fifteen 
 years, and begat sons and daughters : 
 11 and all the days of Enosh were nine 
 hundred and five years : and he died. 
 
 ! 12 And Kenan lived seventy years, and 
 j 13 begat Malialalel: and Kenan lived 
 after he begat Malialalel eight hun- 
 | dred and forty years, and begat sons 
 14 and daughters: and all the days of 
 Kenan were nine hundred and ten 
 years : and he died. 
 
 15 And Malialalel lived sixty and five 
 16 years, and begat Jared: and Mahal- 
 alel lived after he begat Jared eight 
 hmidred and thirty years, and begat 
 
 17 sons and daughters : and all the days 
 of Malialalel were eight hundred nine- 
 ty and five years : and he died. 
 
 18 And Jared lived an 'hundred sixty 
 
 19 and two years, and begat Enoch : and 
 Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight 
 
 | hundred years, and begat sons and 
 i 20 daughters: and all the days of Jared 
 were nine hundred sixty and two 
 years : and he died. 
 
 21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, 
 22 and begat Methuselah: and Enoch 
 walked with God after he begat Me- 
 thuselah three hundred years, and be- 
 23 gat sons and daughters: and all the 
 days of Enoch were three hundred six- 
 ! 24 ty and five years : and Enoch walked 
 with God : and he was not ; for God 
 took him. 
 
 25 And Methuselah lived an hundred 
 eighty and seven years, and begat 
 20Lamecli: and Methuselah lived after 
 he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty 
 and two years, and begat sons and 
 
 27 daughters : and all the days of Methu- 
 selah were nine hundred sixty and 
 nine years : and he died. 
 
 28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty 
 
 29 and two years, and begat a son : and 
 he called his name Noah, saying, This 
 
 same shall 2 comfort us for our work 
 and for the toil of our hands , 3 because 
 of the ground which the Lord hath 
 
 30 cursed. And Lamech lived after he 
 begat Noah five hundred ninety and 
 five years, and begat sons and daugh- 
 
 31 ters : and all the days of Lamech were 
 seven hundred seventy and seven 
 years : and he died. 
 
 32 And Noah was five hundred years 
 old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and 
 Japlieth. 
 
 6 And it came to pass, when men 
 began to multiply on the face of 
 the ground, and daughters were born 
 
 2 unto them, that the sons of God saw 
 the daughters of men that they were 
 fair ; and they took them wives of all 
 
 3 that they chose. And the Lord said, 
 My spirit shall not 4 strive with man 
 for ever, 5 for that he also is flesh : 6 yet 
 shall his days be an hundred and 
 
 4 twenty years. The 7 Nephilim were 
 in the earth in those days, and also 
 after that, when the sons of God came 
 in unto the daughters of men, and they 
 bare children to them : the same were 
 the mighty men which were of old, the 
 
 5 men of renown. And the Lord saw 
 that the wickedness of man was great 
 in the earth, and that every imagin- 
 ation of the thoughts of his heart 
 
 6 was only evil continually. And it re- 
 pented the Lord that he had made 
 man on the earth, and it grieved him 
 
 7 at his heart. And the Lord said, I 
 will 8 destroy man whom I have cre- 
 ated from the face of the ground; both 
 man, and beast, and creeping thing, 
 and fowl of the air; for it repenteth 
 
 8 me that I have made them. But Noah 
 found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

 Noah was a righteous man, and 9 per-

 11 sons, Shem, Ham, and Japhetli. And 
 the earth was corrupt before God, and 
 the earth was filled with violence. 
 
 12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, 
 it was corrupt ; for all flesh had cor- 
 rupted his way upon the earth.

 all flesh is come before me; for the

 10 Now these are the generations of 
 the sons of Noah, Shem Ham and 
 Japheth: and unto them were sons 
 born after the flood. 
 
 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and 
 Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and 
 
 3 Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And 
 the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and 
 
 4 3 Riphath, and Togarmah. And the 
 sons of Javan ; Elishah, and Tarshish, 
 
 5Kittim, and 4 Dodanim. Of these were 
 the 5 isles of the nations divided in 
 their lands, every one after his tongue ; 
 after their families, in their nations. 
 
 6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and 
 
 7 Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. And 
 the sons of Cush ; Seba, and Havilah, 
 and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca : 
 and the sons of Raamah ; Sheba, and 
 
 8 Dedan. And Cush begat Nimrod : he 
 began to be a mighty one in the earth. 
 
 9 He was a mighty hunter before the 
 Lord : wherefore it is said, Like Nim- 
 rod a mighty hunter before the Lord. 
 
 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was 
 Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and 
 
 11 Calneh, in the land of Sliinar. Out of 
 that land 6 he went forth into Assyria, 
 and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, 
 
 12 and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh 
 and Calah (the same is the great city). 
 
 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Ana- 
 mim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 
 
 14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence 
 went forth 7 the Philistines), and 
 Caphtorim. 
 
 15 And Canaan begat Zidon his first- 
 
 16 born, and Heth ; and the Jebusite, and 
 
 17 the Amorite, and the Girgashite ; and 
 the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the 
 
 18 Sinite ; and the Arvadite, and the 
 Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and 
 afterward were the families of the 
 
 19 Canaanite spread abroad. And the 
 border of the Canaanite was from 
 Zidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto 
 Gaza ; as thou goest toward Sodom and 
 Gomorrah and Admail and Zeboiim, 
 
 20 unto Lasha. These are the sons of Ham, 
 after their families, after their tongues, 
 in their lands, in their nations. 
 
 21 And unto Shem, the father of all 
 the children of Eber, 8 the elder brother 
 of Japheth, to him also were children 
 
 22 born. The sons of Shem; Elam, and 
 Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and 
 
 23 Aram. And the sons of Aram; Uz, 
 
 24 and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. And 
 Arpachshad 9 begat Shelali ; and Shelali 
 
 25 begat Eber. And unto Eber were 
 born two sons: the name of the one 
 was 10 Peleg; for in his days was the 
 earth divided; and his brother’s name 
 
 26 was Joktan. And Joktan begat Al- 
 modad, and Sheleph, and Hazarma- 
 
 27 veth, and Jerali ; and Hadoram, and 
 
 28Uzal, and Diklah; and n Obal, and 
 
 29 Abimael, and Sheba ; and Ophir, and 
 Havilah, and Jobab: all these were 
 
 30 the sons of Joktan. And their dwell- 
 ing was from Mesha, as thou goest 
 toward Sephar, the 12 mountain of the 
 
 31 east. These are the sons of Shem, after 
 their families, after their tongues, in 
 their lands, after their nations. 
 
 32 These are the families of the sons of 
 Noah, after their generations, in their 
 nations : and of these were the nations 
 divided in the earth after the flood. 
 
 11 And the whole earth was of one 
 
 2 13 language and of one 14 speech. And 
 it came to pass, as they journeyed 
 15 east, that they found a plain in the 
 land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 
 
 3 And they said one to another, Go to, 
 let us make brick, and burn them 
 throughly. And they had brick for 
 stone, and 16 slime had they for mortar. 
 
 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us 
 a city, and a tower, whose top may 
 reach unto heaven, and let us make us 
 a name; lest we be scattered abroad 
 
 5 upon the face of the whole earth. And 
 the Lord came down to see the city 
 and the tower, which the children of 
 
 6 men builded. And the Lord said, Be- 
 hold, they are one people, and they have 
 all one language ; and this is what they 
 begin to do: and now nothing will 
 be withholden from them, which they 
 
 7 purpose to do. Go to, let us go down, 
 and there confound their language, 
 that they may not understand one 
 
 8 another’s speech. So the Lord scat- 
 tered them abroad from thence upon 
 the face of all the earth : and they left 
 
 9 off to build the city. Therefore was 
 the name of it called Babel ; because 
 the Lord did there 17 confound the 
 language of all the earth: and from 
 thence did the Lord scatter them a- 
 broad upon the face of all the earth. 
 
 10 These are the generations of Shem. 
 Shem was an hundred years old, and 
 begat Arpachshad two years after the 
 
 11 flood: and Shem lived after he begat 
 Arpachshad five hundred years, and 
 begat sons and daughters. 
 
 12 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty 
 
 13 years, and begat Shelali : and Arpach- 
 shad lived after he begat Shelali four 
 hundred and three years, and begat 
 sons and daughters.

 that, when Abram was come into

 Abram’s wife; and they went forth

 went with Abram, had flocks, and 
 
 6 herds, and tents. And the land was 
 not able to bear them, that they might 
 dwell together: for their substance 
 was great, so that they could not dwell 
 
 7 together. And there was a strife be- 
 tween the herdmen of Abram’s cattle 
 and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and 
 tiie Canaanite and the Perizzite dwell- 
 
 8 ed then in the land. And Abram 
 said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I 
 pray thee, between me and thee, and 
 between my herdmen and thy herd- 
 
 9 men ; for we are brethren. Is not the 
 whole land before thee ? separate thy- 
 self, I pray thee, from me: if thou 
 wilt take the left hand, then I will go 
 to the right ; or if thou take the right 
 
 10 hand, then I will go to the left. And 
 Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all 
 the 1 Plain of Jordan, that it was 
 well watered every where, before the 
 Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomor- 
 rah, like the garden of the Lord, like 
 the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto 
 
 HZoar. So Lot chose him all the Plain 
 of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: 
 and they separated themselves the 
 
 12 one from the other. Abram dwelled 
 in the land of Canaan, and Lot 
 dwelled in the cities of the Plain, 
 and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 
 
 18 Now the men of Sodom were wicked 
 and sinners against the Lord exceed- 
 
 14 ingly. And the Lord said unto Abram, 
 after that Lot was separated from him, 
 Lift up now" thine eyes, and look from 
 the place where thou art, northward 
 and southward and eastward and west- 
 
 15 ward : for all the land which thou 
 seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy 
 
 16 seed for ever. And I will make thy 
 seed as the dust of the earth : so that 
 if a man can number the dust of the 
 earth, then shall thy seed also be 
 
 17 numbered. Arise, walk through the 
 land in the length of it and in the 
 breadth of it ; for unto thee will I give 
 
 18 it. And Abram moved his tent, and 
 came and dwelt by the 2 oaks of Mamre, 
 which are in Hebron, and built there 
 an altar unto the Lord. 
 
 14 And it came to pass in the days of 
 Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king 
 of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of E- 
 
 21am, and Tidal king of 3 Goiim, that 
 they made war with Bera king of 
 Sodom, and with Birsha king of Go- 
 morrah, Shinab king of Admah, and 
 Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the 
 
 3 king of Bela (the same is Zoar). All 
 these 4 joined together in the vale of 
 Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea). 
 
 4 Twelve years they served Chedorlao- 
 mer, and in the thirteenth year they 
 
 5 rebelled. And in the fourteenth year 
 came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that 
 were with him, and smote the Rephaim 
 in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim 
 
 in Ham, and the Emim in 5 Sliaveh- 
 
 6 kiriathaiin, and the Horites in their 
 mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is 
 
 7 by the wilderness. And they returned, 
 and came to En-mishpat (the same is 
 Kadesh), and smote all the 6 country of 
 the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, 
 
 8 that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar. And 
 there went out the king of Sodom, 
 and the king of Gomorrah, and the 
 king of Admah, and the king of Ze- 
 boiim, and the king of Bela (the same 
 is Zoar) ; and they set the battle in 
 array against them in the vale of Sid- 
 
 9 dim; against Chedorlaomer king of 
 Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and 
 Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch 
 king of Ellasar; four kings against 
 
 10 the five. Now the vale of Siddim was 
 full of 7 slime pits; and the kings of 
 Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell 
 there, and they that remained fled to 
 
 11 the mountain. And they took all the 
 goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and 
 all their victuals, and went their way. 
 
 12 And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s 
 son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his 
 
 13 goods, and departed. And there came 
 one that had escaped, and told Abram 
 the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the 
 2 oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother 
 of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and 
 these were confederate with Abram. 
 
 14 And when Abram heard that his bro- 
 ther was taken captive, he led forth 
 his trained men, born in his house, 
 three hundred and eighteen, and pur- 
 
 15 sued as far as Dan. And he divided 
 himself against them by night, he and 
 his servants, and smote them, and 
 pursued them unto Hobah, which is 
 
 16 on the 8 left hand of Damascus. And 
 he brought back all the goods, and 
 also brought again his brother Lot, 
 and his goods, and the women also, 
 
 17 and the people. And the king of So- 
 dom went out to meet him, after his 
 return from the slaughter of Chedor- 
 laomer and the kings that were with 
 him, at the vale of Shaveli (the same 
 
 18 is the filing’s Yale). And Melcliizedek 
 king of Salem brought forth bread 
 and wine: and he was priest of 9 God 
 
 19 Most High. And he blessed him, and 
 said, Blessecf be Abram of 9 God Most 
 High, ^possessor of heaven and earth : 
 
 20 and blessed be 9 God Most High, which 
 hath delivered thine enemies into thy 
 hand. And he gave him a tenth of all. 
 
 21 And the king of Sodom said unto 
 Abram, Give me the persons, and take 
 
 22 the goods to thyself. And Abram said 
 to the king of Sodom, I have lift up 
 mine hand unto the Lord, 9 God Most 
 High, 10 possessor of heaven and earth, 
 
 23 that I will not take a thread nor a 
 shoelatchet nor aught that is thine, 
 lest thou shouldest say, I have made

 15 After these things the word of the 
 Lord came unto Abram in a vision, 
 saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy 
 shield, 1 and thy exceeding great re- 
 
 Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the 
 21Bephaim, and the Amorite, and the 
 Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and 
 the Jebusite. 
 
 16 Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him 
 no children: and she had an hand- 
 maid, an Egyptian, whose name was 
 2Hagar. And Sarai said unto Abram,

 6 thy seed be. And he believed in the 
 Lord ; and he counted it to him 
 
 7 for righteousness. And he said unto 
 him, I am the Lord that brought thee 
 out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give 
 
 8 thee this land to inherit it. And he 
 said, 0 Lord God, whereby shall I 
 
 9 know that I shall inherit it? And 
 he said unto him, Take me an heifer 
 of three years old, and a she-goat of 
 three years old, and a ram of three 
 years old, and a turtledove, and a 
 
 10 young pigeon. And he took him all 
 these, and divided them in the midst, 
 and laid each half over against the 
 other: but the birds divided he not. 
 
 11 And the birds of prey came down 
 upon the carcases, and Abram (Love 
 
 12 them away. And when the sun was 
 going down, a deep sleep fell upon 
 Abram; and, lo, an horror of great 
 
 13 darkness fell upon him. And he said

 said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is

 hardly with her, and she fled from 
 
 7 her face. And the angel of the Lord 
 found her by a fountain of water 
 in the wilderness, by the fountain in 
 
 8 the way to Shur. And he said, Ha- 
 gar, Sarai’s handmaid, whence earnest 
 thou? and whither goest thou? And 
 she said, I flee from the face of my

 Eebekah had a brother, and his name 
 was Laban: and Laban ran out unto 
 
 30 the man, unto the fountain. And it 
 came to pass, when he saw the ring, 
 and the bracelets upon his sister’s 
 hands, and when he heard the words 
 of Eebekah his sister, saying, Thus 
 spake the man unto me; that he 
 came unto the man ; and, behold, he 
 stood by the camels at the fountain. 
 
 31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed 
 of the Lord ; wherefore standest 
 thou without? for I have prepared 
 the house, and room for the camels. 
 
 32 And the man came into the house, 
 and he ungirded the camels; and he 
 gave straw and provender for the 
 camels, and water to wash his feet 
 and the men’s feet that were with him. 
 
 33 And there was set meat before him 
 to eat: but he said, I wiE not eat, 
 until I have told mine errand. And 
 
 34 he said, Speak on. And he said, I 
 
 35 am Abraham’s servant. And the 
 Lord hath blessed my master great- 
 ly; and he is become great: and he 
 hath given him flocks and herds, 
 and silver and gold, and menservants 
 and maidservants, and camels and 
 
 36 aSses. And Sarah my master’s wife 
 ,-bare a son to my master when she 
 
 was old : and unto him hath he given 
 
 37 all that lie hath. And my master 
 made me swear, saying, Thou shalt 
 not take a wife for my son of the 
 daughters of the Canaanites, in whose 
 
 38 land I dwell: but thou shalt go unto 
 my father’s house, and to my kindred, 
 
 39 and take a wife for my son. And 
 
 I said unto my master, Peradventure 
 
 40 the woman will not follow me. And 
 he said unto me, The Lord, before 
 whom I walk, will send his angel with 
 thee, and prosper thy way ; and thou 
 shalt take a wife for my son of my 
 kindred, and of my father’s house: 
 
 41 then shalt thou be clear from my 
 oath, when thou comest to my kind- 
 red ; and if they give her not to thee, 
 
 42 thou shalt be clear from my oath. And 
 
 I came this day unto the fountain, and 
 said, 0 Lord, the God of my master 
 Abraham, if now thou do prosper my 
 
 43 way which I go: behold, I stand by 
 the fountain of water ; and let it come 
 to pass, that the maiden which cometli 
 forth to draw, to whom I shall say, 
 Give me, I pray thee, a little water 
 
 44 of thy pitcher to drink ; and she 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 appointed for my master’s 
 
 45 son. And before I had done speaking 
 in mine heart, behold, Eebekah came 
 forth with her pitcher on her shoulder ; 
 and she went down unto the fount- 
 ain, and drew: and I said unto her, 
 
 46 Let me drink, I pray thee. And she 
 
 made haste, and let down her pitcher 
 from her shoulder, and said, Drink, 
 and I will give thy camels drink also : 
 so I drank, and she made the camels 
 
 47 drink also. And I asked her, and 
 said, Whose daughter art thou ? And 
 she said, The daughter of Bethuel, 
 Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto 
 him : and I put the ring upon her nose, 
 and the bracelets upon her hands. 
 
 48 And I bowed my head, and worshipped 
 the Lord, and blessed the Lord, the 
 God of my master Abraham, which 
 had led me in the right way to take 
 my master’s brother’s daughter for 
 
 49 his son. And now if ye will deal 
 kindly and truly with my master, 
 tell me: and if not, tell me; that 
 I may turn to the right hand, or to 
 
 50 the left. Then Laban and Bethuel 
 answered and said, The thing pro- 
 ceedeth from the Lord: we cannot 
 
 51 speak unto thee bad or good. Behold, 
 Eebekah is before thee, take her, and 
 go, and let her be thy master’s son’s 
 
 52 wife, as the Lord hath spoken. And 
 it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s 
 servant heard their words, he bowed 
 himself down to the earth unto the 
 
 53 Lord. And the servant brought forth 
 Jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, 
 and raiment, and gave them to Ee- 
 bekah: lie gave also to her brother 
 
 __and to her mother precious things. 
 
 54 And they did eat and drink, he and 
 the men that were with him, and 
 tarried all night; and they rose up 
 in the morning, and he said, Send 
 
 55 me away unto my master. And her 
 brother and her mother said, Let the 
 damsel abide with us a few days, at 
 
 „ the least ten ; after that she shall go. 
 
 56 _And he said unto them, Hinder me 
 not, seeing the Lord hath prospered 
 my way; send me away that I may 
 
 57 go to my master. And they said, We 
 will call the damsel, and inquire at 
 
 58 her mouth. And they called Eebekah, 
 and said unto her, Wilt thou go with 
 this man? And she said, I will go. 
 
 59 And they sent away Eebekah their 
 sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s 
 
 60 servant, and his men. And they blessed 
 Eebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, 
 be thou the mother of thousands of ten 
 thousands, and let thy seed possess the 
 
 61 gate of those which hate them. And 
 Eebekah arose, and her damsels, and 
 they rode upon the camels, and fol- 
 lowed the man: and the servant took 
 
 62 Eebekah, and went his way. And Isaac 
 came 1 from the way of Beer-laliai-roi ; 
 for he dwelt in the land of the South. 
 
 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the 
 field at the eventide : and he lifted up 
 his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there 
 
 64 were camels coming. And Eebekah 
 lifted up her eyes, and when she saw

 none greater in this house than I ; nei- 
 ther hath he kept back any thing from 
 me but thee, because thou art his 
 wife: how then can I do this great 
 
 10 wickedness, and sin against God ? And 
 it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph 
 day by day, that he hearkened not unto 
 her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 
 
 11 And it came to pass about this time, 
 that he went into the house to do his 
 work ; and there was none of the men 
 
 12 of the house there within. And she 
 caught him by his garment, saying, 
 Lie with me : and he left his garment 
 in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, when she saw 
 that he had left his garment in her 
 
 14 hand, and was fled forth, that she 
 called unto the men of her house, and 
 spake unto them, saying, See, he hath 
 brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock 
 us; he came in unto me to lie with 
 
 15 me, and I cried with a loud voice : and 
 it came to pass, when he heard that I 
 lifted up my voice and cried, that he 
 left his garment by me, and fled, and 
 
 16 got him out. And she laid up his gar- 
 ment by her, until his master came 
 
 17 home. And she spake unto him ac- 
 cording to these words, saying, The 
 Hebrew servant, which thou hast 
 brought unto us, came in unto me to 
 
 18 mock me : and it came to pass, as I lift- 
 ed up my voice and cried, that he left 
 
 19 his garment by me, and fled out. And 
 it came to pass, when his master heard 
 the words of his wife, which she spake 
 unto him, saying, After this manner 
 did thy servant to me ; that his wrath 
 
 20 was kindled. And Joseph’s master 
 took him, and put him into the prison, 
 the place where the king’s prisoners 
 were bound: and he was there in the 
 
 21 prison. But the Lord was with Jo- 
 seph, and shewed kindness unto him, 
 and gave him favour in the sight of the 
 
 22 keeper of the prison. And the keeper 
 of the prison committed to Joseph’s 
 hand all the prisoners that were in the 
 prison ; and whatsoever they did there, 
 
 23 lie was the doer of it. The keeper of 
 the prison looked not to any thing that 
 was under his hand, because the Lord 
 was with him ; and that which he did, 
 the Lord made it to prosper. 
 
 40 And it came to pass after these 
 things, that the butler of the king of 
 Egypt and his baker offended their 
 
 2 lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh 
 was wroth against his two officers, 
 against the chief of the butlers, and 
 
 3 against the chief of the bakers. And he 
 put them in ward in the house of the 
 captain of the guard, into the prison, 
 the place where Joseph was bound. 
 
 4 And the captain of the guard charged 
 Joseph with them, and he ministered 
 unto them : and they continued a 
 
 5 season in ward. And they dreamed 
 a dream both of them, each man 
 his dream, in one night, each man 
 according to the interpretation of his 
 dream, the butler and the baker of the 
 king of Egypt, which were bound in 
 
 6 the prison. And Joseph came in unto 
 them in the morning, and saw them, 
 
 7 and, behold, they were sad. And he 
 asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with 
 him in ward in his master’s house, say- 
 ing, Wherefore look ye so sadly to-day ? 
 
 8 And they said unto him, We have 
 dreamed a dream, and there is none 
 that can interpret it. And Joseph said 
 unto them, Do not interpretations be- 
 long to God? tell it me, I pray you. 
 
 9 And the chief butler told his dream 
 to Joseph, and said to him, In my 
 dream, behold, a vine was before me ; 
 
 10 and in the vine were three branches : 
 and it was as though it budded, and 
 its blossoms shot forth ; and the 
 clusters thereof brought forth ripe 
 
 11 grapes: and Pharaoh’s cup was in my 
 hand; and I took the grapes, and 
 pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and 
 I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand. 
 
 12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the 
 interpretation of it : the three branches 
 
 13 are three days ; within yet three days 
 shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and 
 restore thee unto thine office: and 
 thou slialt give Pharaoh’s cup into his 
 hand, after the former manner when 
 
 14 thou wast his butler. But have me 
 in thy remembrance when it shall 
 be well with thee, and shew kindness, 
 
 I pray thee, unto me, and make men- 
 tion of me unto Pharaoh, and bring 
 
 15 me out of this house: for indeed I 
 was stolen away out of the land of the 
 Hebrews: and here also have I done 
 nothing that they should put me into 
 
 16 the dungeon. When the chief baker 
 saw that the interpretation was good, 
 he said unto Joseph, I also was in my 
 dream, and, behold, three baskets of 
 
 17 white bread were on my head : and in 
 the uppermost basket there was of all 
 manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh ; and 
 the birds did eat them out of the basket 
 
 18 upon my head. And Joseph answered 
 and said, This is the interpretation 
 thereof: the three baskets are three 
 
 19 days ; within yet three days shall 
 Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, 
 and shall hang thee on a tree ; and the 
 birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. 
 
 20 And it came to pass the third day, 
 which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he

 and when lie saw the wagons which 
 Joseph had sent to carry him, the 
 spirit of Jacob their father revived: 
 
 28 and Israel said, It is enough; Joseph 
 my son is yet alive : I will go and see 
 him before I die. 
 
 46 And Israel took his journey with all 
 that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, 
 and offered sacrifices unto the God of 
 
 2 his father Isaac. And God spake unto 
 Israel in the visions of the night, and 
 
 3 said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here 
 am I. And he said, I am God, the God 
 of thy father : fear not to go down into 
 Egypt; for I will there make of thee 
 
 4a great nation: I will go down with 
 thee into Egypt ; and I will also sure- 
 ly bring thee up again : and Joseph 
 shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 
 
 5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: 
 and the sons of Israel carried Jacob 
 their father, and their little ones, and 
 their wives, in the wagons which 
 
 6 Pharaoh had sent to carry him. And 
 they took their cattle, and their goods, 
 which they had gotten in the land of 
 Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, 
 
 7 and all his seed with him : his sons, 
 and his sons’ sons with him, his daugh- 
 ters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his 
 seed brought he with him into Egypt. 
 
 8 And these are the names of the 
 children of Israel, which came into 
 Egypt, Jacob and his sons : Keuben, 
 
 9 Jacob’s firstborn. And the sons of 
 Beuben ; Hanoch, and Pallu, and Hez- 
 
 10 ron, and Carmi. And the sons of Sim- 
 eon; 1 Jemuel, and Jamin, and Oliad, 
 and 2 Jacliin, and 3 Zohar, and Shaul 
 
 11 the son of a Canaanitish woman. And 
 the sons of Levi; 4 Gerslion, Kohath, 
 
 12 and Merari. And the sons of Judah; 
 Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Perez, 
 and Zerah : but Er and Onan died in 
 the land of Canaan. And the sons of 
 
 13 Perez were Hezron and Hamul. And 
 the sons of Issachar ; Tola, and 5 Puv- 
 
 14 ah, and lob, and Sliimron. And the 
 sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, 
 
 15 and Jahleel. These are the sons of 
 Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in 
 Paddan-aram, with his daughter Di- 
 nah : all the souls of his sons and his 
 
 16 daughters were thirty and three. And 
 the sons of Gad ; 6 Ziphion, and Haggi, 
 Sliuni, and 7 Ezbon, Eri, and 8 Arodi, 
 
 17 and Areli. And the sons of Asher; 
 Imnah, and Ishvali, and Ishvi, and 
 Beriah, and Serah their sister: and 
 the sons of Beriah ; Heber, and Mai- 
 ls chiel. These are the sons of Zilpah, 
 which Laban gave to Leah his daugh- 
 ter, and these she bare unto Jacob, 
 
 19 even sixteen souls. The sons of Bachel 
 Jacob’s wife; Joseph and Benjamin. 
 
 20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt 
 were born Manasseh and Ephraim, 
 which Asenath the daughter of Poti- 
 phera priest of On bare unto him. 
 
 21 And the sons of Benjamin ; Bela, and 
 Becher, and Aslibel, Gera, and Naa- 
 man, 9 Ehi, and Bosh, 10 Muppim, and 
 
 22 n Huppim, and Ard. These are the 
 sons of Bachel, which were born to 
 Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. 
 And the sons of Dan; 12 Hushim. And 
 
 4 the sons of Naphtali; 13 Jahzeel, and 
 
 25 Guni, and Jezer, and 14 Shillem. These 
 are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban 
 gave unto Bachel his daughter, and 
 these she bare unto Jacob: all the 
 
 26 souls were seven. All the 15 souls that 
 came with Jacob into Egypt, which 
 came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s 
 sons’ wives, all the souls were three- 
 
 27 score and six; and the sons of Joseph, 
 which were born to him in Egypt, 
 were two souls : all the souls of the 
 house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, 
 were threescore and ten. 
 
 28 And he sent Judah before him unto 
 Joseph, to shew the way before him 
 unto Goshen ; and they came into the 
 
 29 land of Goshen. And Joseph made 
 ready his chariot, and went up to meet 
 Israel his father, to Goshen; and he 
 presented himself unto him, and fell on 
 liis neck, and wept on his neck a good 
 
 30 while. And Israel said unto Joseph, 
 Now let me die, since I have seen thy 
 
 31 face, that thou art yet alive. And Jo- 
 seph said unto his brethren, and unto 
 his father’s house, I will go up, and 
 tell Pharaoh, and will say unto him, Mjr 
 brethren, and my father’s house, which 
 were in the land of Canaan, are come 
 
 32 unto me ; and the men are shepherds, 
 for they have been keepers of cattle ; 
 and they have brought their flocks, and 
 their herds, and all that they have. 
 
 33 And it shall come to pass, when Pha- 
 raoh shall call you, and shall say, What 
 
 34 is your occupation ? that ye shall say, 
 Thy servants have been keepers of 
 cattle from our youth even until now, 
 both we, and our fathers : that ye may 
 dwell in the land of Goshen ; for every 
 shepherd is an abomination unto the 
 Egyptians. 
 
 47 Then Joseph went in and told Pha- 
 raoh, and said, My father and my 
 brethren, and their flocks, and their 
 herds, and all that they have, are come 
 out of the land of Canaan; and, be- 
 hold, they are in the land of Goshen. 
 
 2 And from among his brethren he took 
 five men, and presented them unto 
 
 3 Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto his 
 brethren, What is your occupation? 
 And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy 
 servants are shepherds, both we, and 
 
 4 our fathers. And they said unto Pha- 
 raoh, To sojourn in the land are we 
 come ; for there is no pasture for thy 
 servants’ flocks ; for the famine is sore 
 in the land of Canaan: now there- 
 fore, we pray thee, let thy servants 
 
 5 dwell in the land of Goshen. And

 Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, 
 Tliy father and thy brethren are 
 
 6 come unto thee : the land of Egypt 
 is before thee ; in the best of the land 
 make thy father and thy brethren to 
 
 20 desolate. So Joseph bought all the 
 land of Egypt for Pharaoh ; for the 
 Egyptians sold every man his field, 
 because the famine was" sore upon 
 them : and the land became Pha-

 bond- 
 men of 
 
 
 him before Pharaoh : and Jacob bless- 
 
 priests had a portion from Pharaoh, 
 
 them, 
 
 
 8ed Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto 
 
 and did eat their portion which Pha- 
 
 from &c. 
 
 7 Or, ac- 
 cording 
 
 
 Jacob, How many are the days of the 
 
 raoh gave them ; wherefore they sold 
 
 
 9 years of thy life? And Jacob said 
 unto Pharaoh, The days of the years 
 
 23 not their land. Then Joseph said un- 
 to the people, Behold, I have bought 
 
 to their 
 cities 
 
 2 Or. 
 sojo tim- 
 ings 
 
 of my 2 pilgrimage are an hundred 
 
 you this day and your land for Pha- 
 
 
 and thirty years : few and evil have 
 been the days of the years of my 
 life, and they have not attained unto 
 the days of the years of the life of 
 my fathers in the days of their 2 pil- 
 
 10 grimage. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, 
 and went out from the presence of 
 
 11 Pharaoh. And Joseph placed his fa- 
 ther and his brethren, and gave them 
 a possession in the land of Egypt, in 
 the best of the land, in the land of 
 Eameses, as Pharaoh had command- 
 
 12 ed. And Joseph nourished his father, 
 and his brethren, and all his father’s 
 
 raoh : lo, here is seed for you, and ye 
 
 24 shall sow the land. And it shall come 
 to pass at the ingatherings, that ye 
 shall give a fifth unto Pharaoh, and 
 four parts shall be your own, for 
 seed of the field, and for your food, 
 and for them of your households, and 
 
 25 for food for your little ones. And 
 they said, Thou hast saved our lives : 
 let us find grace in the sight of my 
 lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s serv- 
 
 26 ants. And Joseph made it a statute 
 concerning the land of Egypt unto this 
 day, that Pharaoh should have the 
 
 
 3 Or, ac- 
 
 household, with bread, 3 according to 
 
 fifth ; only the land of the priests 
 
 
 cording 
 
 their families. 
 
 27 alone became not Pharaoh’s. And 
 
 
 number 
 
 13 And there was no bread in all the 
 
 Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in 
 
 
 of their 
 little 
 
 land ; for the famine was very sore, 
 so that the land of Egypt and the 
 land of Canaan fainted by reason of 
 lithe famine. And Joseph gathered up 
 all the money that was found in the 
 land of Egypt, and in the land of Ca- 
 naan, for the corn which they bought : 
 and Joseph brought the money into 
 15 Pharaoh’s house. And when the money 
 i was all spent in the land of Egypt, and 
 in the land of Canaan, all the Egypt- 
 ians came unto Joseph, and said, Give 
 us bread: for why should we die in 
 thy presence ? for our money faileth. 
 16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; 
 
 and I will give you for your cattle, if 
 17 money fail. And they brought their 
 cattle unto Joseph : and Joseph gave 
 them bread in exchange for the horses, 
 
 the land of Goshen; and they gat 
 
 
 ones 
 
 them possessions therein, and were 
 fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly. 
 
 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt 
 seventeen years : so the days of Jacob, 
 the years of his life, were an hundred 
 
 29 forty and seven years. And the time 
 drew near that Israel must die: and 
 he called his son Joseph, and said 
 unto him, If now I have found grace 
 in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy 
 hand under my thigh, and deal kindly 
 and truly with me; bury me not, I 
 
 30 pray thee, in Egypt: but when I 
 sleep with my fathers, thou shalt 
 carry me out of Egypt, and bury me 
 in their buryingplace. And he said, 
 
 311 will do as thou hast said. And he 
 said, Swear unto me : and he sware 
 
 
 4 Heb. 
 
 and for the 4 flocks, and for the herds, 
 
 unto him. And Israel bowed himself 
 
 
 cattle

 which were born nnto thee in the land 
 of Egypt before I came unto thee into 
 Egypt, are mine ; Ephraim and Manas-

 they shall be called after the name 
 of their brethren in their inheritance. 
 
 7 And as for me, when I came from Pad- 
 dan, Rachel died 2 by me in the land 
 of Canaan in the way, when there was 
 still some way to come unto Ephrath : 
 and I buried her there in the way 
 to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem). 
 
 8 And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and 
 
 9 said, Who are these ? And Joseph 
 said unto his father, They -are my 
 sons, whom God hath given me here. 
 And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, 
 
 10 unto me, and I will bless them. Now 
 the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so 
 that he could not see. And he brought 
 them near unto him ; and he kissed 
 
 11 them, and embraced them. And Israel 
 said unto Joseph, I had not thought 
 to see thy face : and, lo, God hath let 
 
 12 me see thy seed also. And Joseph 
 brought them out from between his 
 knees; and he bowed himself with 
 
 13 his face to the earth. And Joseph took 
 them both, Ephraim in his right hand 
 toward Israel’s left hand, and Manas- 
 seh in his left hand toward Israel’s 
 right hand, and brought them near 
 
 14 unto him. And Israel stretched out 
 his right hand, and laid it upon Eph- 
 raim’s head, who was the younger, 
 and his left hand upon Manasseli’s 
 head, 3 guiding his hands wittingly; 
 
 15 for Manasseli was the firstborn. And 
 he blessed Joseph, and said, The God 
 before whom my fathers Abraham and 
 Isaac did walk, the God which hath 
 fed me all my life long unto this day, 
 
 16 the angel which hath redeemed me 
 from all evil, bless the lads ; and let 
 my name be named on them, and 
 the name of my fathers Abraham 
 and Isaac; and let them grow into a 
 multitude in the midst of the earth. 
 
 17 And when Joseph saw that his father 
 laid his right hand upon the head of 
 Ephraim, it displeased him: and he 
 held up his father’s hand, to remove it 
 from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s 
 
 18 head. And J osepli said unto his father, 
 Not so, my father: for this is the first- 
 born ; put thy right hand upon his head. 
 
 19 And his father refused, and said, I 
 know it, my son, I know it : he also 
 shall become a people, and he also shall 
 be great : liowbeit his younger brother 
 shall be greater than he, and his seed 
 shall become 4 a multitude of nations. 
 
 20 And he blessed them that day, saying, 
 5 In thee shall Israel bless, saying, 
 God make thee as Ephraim and as 
 
 Manasseli : and he set Ephraim before 
 21Manasseh. And Israel said unto Jo- 
 seph, Behold, I die : but God shall be 
 with you, and bring you again unto 
 22 the land of your fathers. Moreover 
 I have given to thee one 6 portion 
 above thy brethren, which I took out 
 of the hand of the Amorite with my 
 sword and with my bow. 
 
 49 And Jacob called unto his sons, and 
 said : Gather yourselves together, that 
 I may tell you that which shall befall 
 you in the latter days. 
 
 2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye 
 
 sons of Jacob ; 
 
 And hearken unto Israel your father.

 might, and the 7 beginning of my 
 strength ; 
 
 The excellency of dignity, and the 
 excellency of power. 
 
 4 8 Unstable as water, 9 thou shalt not

 For in their anger they slew 12 a man, 
 And in their self will they houghed 
 13 an ox. 
 
 7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce ; 
 And their wrath, for it was cruel : 
 
 I will divide them in Jacob, 
 
 And scatter them in Israel.

 get you forth from among my people, 
 
 
 
 every man must eat, that only may 
 
 both ye and the children of Israel;

 leavened, their kneadingtrouglis being 
 bound up in tlieir clothes upon their 
 
 35 shoulders. And the children of Israel 
 did according to the word of Moses; 
 and they asked of the Egyptians 
 jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, 
 
 36 and raiment: and the Lord gave the 
 people favour in the sight of the 
 Egyptians, so that they let them have 
 what they asked. And they spoiled 
 the Egyptians. 
 
 37 And the children of Israel journeyed 
 from Rameses to Succoth, about six 
 hundred thousand on foot that were 
 
 38 men, beside children. And a mixed 
 multitude went up also with them; 
 and flocks, and herds, even very much 
 
 39 cattle. And they baked unleavened 
 cakes of the dough which they brought 
 forth out of Egypt, for it was not 
 leavened; because they were thrust 
 out of Egypt, and could not tarry, 
 neither had they prepared for them- 
 
 40 selves any victual. Now the sojourn- 
 ing of the children of Israel, which 
 they sojourned in Egypt, was four 
 
 41 hundred and thirty years. And it came 
 to pass at the end of four hundred 
 and thirty years, even the selfsame 
 day it came to pass, that all the hosts 
 of the Lord went out from the land 
 
 42 of Egypt. It is 1 a night to be much 
 observed unto the Lord for bringing 
 them out from the land of Egypt: 
 
 2 this is that night of the Lord, to be 
 much observed of all the children of 
 Israel throughout their generations. 
 
 43 And the Lord said unto Moses and 
 Aaron, This is the ordinance of the 
 passover : there shall no alien eat 
 
 44 thereof : but every man’s servant that 
 is bought for money, when thou hast 
 circumcised him, then shall he eat 
 
 45 thereof. A sojourner and an hired 
 
 46 servant shall not eat thereof. In one 
 house shall it be eaten ; thou shalt not 
 carry forth aught of the flesh abroad 
 out of the house ; neither shall ye break 
 
 47 a bone thereof. All the congregation 
 
 48 of Israel shall 3 keep it. And when a 
 stranger shall sojourn with thee, and 
 will keep the passover to the Lord, let 
 all his males be circumcised, and then 
 let him come near and keep it; and 
 he shall be as one that is born in the 
 land: but no uncircumcised person 
 
 49 shall eat thereof. One law shall be to 
 him that is homeborn, and unto the 
 stranger that sojourneth among you. 
 
 50 Thus did all the children of Israel; 
 as the Lord commanded Moses and 
 
 51 Aaron, so did they. And it came to 
 pass the selfsame day, that the Lord 
 did bring the children of Israel out of j 
 the land of Egypt by their hosts. 
 
 13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, I 
 
 2 saying, Sanctify unto me all the first- I 
 born, whatsoever openeth the womb 
 
 among the children of Israel, both of 
 man and of beast : it is mine. 
 
 3 And Moses said unto the people, Re- 
 member this day, in which ye came out 
 from Egypt, out of the house of 4 bond- 
 age ; for by strength of hand the Lord 
 brought you out from this place : there 
 
 4 shall no leavened bread be eaten. This 
 day ye go forth in the month Abib. 
 
 5 And it shall be when the Lord shall 
 bring thee into the land of the Canaan- 
 ite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, 
 and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which 
 he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, 
 a land flowing with milk and honey, 
 that thou shalt keep this service in this 
 
 6 month. Seven days thou shalt eat un- 
 leavened bread, and in the seventh 
 day shall be a feast to the Lord. 
 
 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten 
 throughout the seven days ; and there 
 shall no leavened bread be seen with 
 thee, neither shall there be leaven seen 
 
 8 with thee, in all thy borders. And 
 thou shalt tell thy son in that day, 
 saying, It is because of that which the 
 Lord did for me when I came forth 
 
 9 out of Egypt. And it shall be for a 
 sign unto thee upon thine hand, and 
 for a memorial between thine eyes, 
 that the law of the Lord may be in thy 
 mouth: for with a strong hand hath 
 the Lord brought thee out of Egypt. 
 
 10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordin- 
 ance in its season from year to year. 
 
 11 And it shall be when the Lord shall 
 
 % bring thee into the land of the Canaan- 
 
 ite, as he sware unto thee and to thy 
 
 12 fathers, and shall give it thee, that thou 
 shalt 5 set apart unto the Lord all that 
 openeth the womb, and every firstling 
 which thou hast that cometh of a beast ; 
 
 13 the males shall be the Lord’s. And 
 every firstling of an ass thou shalt re- 
 deem with a 6 lamb ; and if thou wilt 
 not redeem it, then thou shalt break its 
 neck : and all the firstborn of man a- 
 
 14 mong thy sons shalt thou redeem. And 
 it shall be when thy son asketh thee in 
 time to come, saying, What is this ? that 
 thou shalt say unto him, By strength of 
 hand the Lord brought us out from 
 Egypt, from the house of 4 bondage: 
 
 15 and it came to pass, when Pharaoh 
 7 would hardly let us go, that the 
 Lord slew all the firstborn in the land 
 of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, 
 and the firstborn of beast: therefore 
 I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth 
 the womb, being males; but all the 
 
 16 firstborn of my sons I redeem. And 
 it shall be for a sign upon thine hand, 
 and for frontlets between thine eyes: 
 for by strength of hand the Lord 
 brought us forth out of Egypt.

 people, lest they break through unto 
 the Lord to gaze, and many of them 
 
 22 perish. And let the priests also, which 
 come near to the Lord, sanctify them- 
 selves, lest the Lord break forth upon 
 
 23 them. And Moses said unto the Lord, 
 The people cannot come up to mount 
 Sinai: for thou didst charge us, say- 
 ing, Set bounds about the mount, and 
 
 24 sanctify it. And the Lord said unto 
 him, Go, get thee down; and thou 
 shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with 
 thee: but let not the priests and the 
 people break through to come up unto 
 the Lord, lest he break forth upon 
 
 25 them. So Moses went down unto the 
 people, and told them. 
 
 20 Arid God spake all these words, 
 saying, 
 
 2 I am the Lord thy God, which 
 brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 
 out of the house of 1 bondage. 
 
 3 Thou shalt have none other gods 
 2 before me. 
 
 4 ^liou shalt not make unto thee a 
 graven image, nor the likeness of any 
 form that is in heaven above, or that is 
 in the earth beneath, or that is in the 
 
 5 water under the earth : thou shalt not 
 bow down tlij^self unto them, nor serve 
 them: for I the Lord thy God am a 
 jealous God, visiting the iniquity of 
 the fathers upon the children, upon 
 the third and upon the fourth gener- 
 
 6 ation of them that hate me ; and 
 shewing mercy unto 3 thousands, of 
 them that love me and keep my com- 
 mandments. 
 
 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the 
 Lord thy God 4 in vain; for the Lord 
 will not hold him guiltless that taketh 
 his name 4 in vain. 
 
 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep 
 
 9 it "Roly; Six days shalt thou labour, 
 
 10 and do all thy work : but the seventh 
 day is a sabbath unto the Lord thy 
 God : in it thou shalt not do any work, 
 thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, 
 thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, 
 nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that 
 
 11 is within thy gates: for in six days 
 the Lord made heaven and earth, the 
 sea, and all that in them is, and 
 rested the seventh day : wherefore the 
 Lord blessed the sabbath day, and 
 hallowed it. 
 
 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: 
 that thy days may be long upon the land 
 which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 
 
 13 Thou sh alt do no murder. 
 
 14 Tliou slialt not commit adultery. 
 
 15 Thou shalt not steal. 
 
 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness 
 against thy neighbour. 
 
 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s 
 house, thou shalt not covet thy neigh- 
 bour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor 
 his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, 
 nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. 
 
 18 And all the people saw the thun- 
 derings, and the lightnings, and the 
 voice of the trumpet, and the mountain 
 smoking : and when the people saw it, 
 they 5 trembled, and stood afar off. 
 
 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou 
 with us, and we will hear : but let not 
 
 20 God speak with us, lest we die. And 
 Moses said unto the people, Fear not : 
 for God is come to prove you, and 
 that his fear may be before you, that 
 
 21 ye sin not. And the people stood afar 
 off, and Moses drew near unto the thick 
 darkness where God was. 
 
 22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus 
 thou shalt say unto the children of 
 Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that 
 
 I have talked with you from heaven. 
 
 23 Ye shall not make other gods with 
 me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, 
 
 24 ye shall not make unto you. An altar 
 of earth thou shalt make unto me, 
 and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt 
 offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy 
 sheep, and thine oxen: in everyplace 
 where I 6 record my name I will come 
 
 25 unto thee and I will bless thee. And 
 if thou make me an altar of stone, 
 thou shalt not build it of hewn stones : 
 for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, 
 
 26 thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt 
 thou go up by steps unto mine altar, 
 that thy nakedness be not discovered 
 thereon. 
 
 21 Now these are the judgements which 
 thou shalt set before them. 
 
 2 If thou buy an Hebrew 7 servant, six 
 years he shall serve : and in the seventh 
 
 3 he shall go out free for nothing. If he 
 come in by himself, he shall go out 
 by himself : if he be married, then 
 
 4 his wife shall go out with him. If his 
 master give him a wife, and she bear 
 him sons or daughters; the wife and 
 her children shall be her master’s, 
 
 5 and he shall go out by himself. But 
 if the servant shall plainly say, I love 
 my master, my wife, and my children ; 
 
 6 1 will not go out free : then his master 
 shall bring him unto 8 God, and shall 
 bring him to the door, or unto the 
 door post; and his master shall bore 
 his ear through with an awl ; and he 
 shall serve him for ever. 
 
 7 And if a man sell his daughter to 
 be a 9 maidservant, she shall not go 
 
 8 out as the menservants do. If she 
 please not her master, 10 who hath 
 espoused her to himself, then shall he 
 let her be redeemed: to sell her unto 
 a strange people he shall have no 
 power, seeing he hath dealt deceit- 
 
 9 fully with her. And if he espouse 
 her unto his son, he shall deal with 
 her after the manner of daughters. 
 
 10 If he take him another wife ; her 
 
 II food, her raiment, and her duty of 
 
 11 marriage, shall he not diminish. And 
 if he do not these three unto her, then

 32 Moses spake to them. And afterward 
 all the children of Israel came nigh: 
 and he gave them in commandment all 
 that the Lord had spoken with him 
 
 33 in mount Sinai. And when Moses had 
 done speaking with them, he put a veil 
 
 34 on his face. But when Moses went in 
 before the Lord to speak with him, 
 he took the veil off , until he came out ; 
 and he came out, and spake unto the 
 children of Israel that which he was 
 
 35 commanded ; and the children of Israel 
 saw the face of Moses, that the skin of 
 Moses’ face shone: and Moses put 
 the veil upon his face again, until he 
 went in to speak with him. 
 
 35 And Moses assembled all the con- 
 gregation of the children of Israel, 
 and said unto them, These are the 
 words which the Lord hath com- 
 
 2 manded, that ye should do them. 4 Six 
 days shall work be done, but on the 
 seventh day there shall be to you an 
 holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to 
 the Lord : whosoever doeth any work 
 
 3 therein shall be put to death. Ye 
 shall kindle no fire throughout your 
 habitations upon the sabbath day. 
 
 4 And Moses spake unto all the con- 
 gregation of the children of Israel, 
 saying, This is the thing which the 
 
 5 Lord commanded, saying, 5 Take ye 
 from among you an offering unto 
 the Lord: whosoever is of a willing 
 heart, let him bring it, the Lord’s of- 
 
 ; 6 fering ; gold, and silver, and brass ; and 
 
 blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 
 
 7 fine linen, and goats’ hair ; and rams’

 spices for the anointing oil, and for 
 
 9 the sweet incense; and onyx stones, 
 and stones to be set, for the ephod, 
 
 10 and for the breastplate. And let every 
 wise hearted man among you come, 
 and make all that the Lord hath com- 
 il manded; the tabernacle, its tent, and 
 its covering, its clasps, and its boards, 
 
 12 its bars, its pillars, and its sockets ; the 
 ark, and the staves thereof, the mercy- 
 
 13 seat, and the veil of the screen; the 
 table, and its staves, and all its ves- 
 
 14sels, and the 6 shewbread; the candle-

 sels, and its lamps, and the oil for the 
 
 15 light ; and the altar of incense, and its

 20 And all the congregation of the child- 
 ren of Israel departed from the pre- 
 
 21 sence of Moses. And they came, every 
 one whose heart stirred him up, and 
 every one whom his spirit made willing, 
 and brought the Lord’s offering, for 
 the Avork of the tent of meeting, and 
 for all the service thereof, and for the

 40 And the Loud spake unto Moses, say- 
 
 2 ing, On the first day of the first month 
 shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the 
 
 3 tent of meeting. And thou shalt put 
 therein the ark of the testimony, and 
 thou shalt screen the ark with the veil. 
 
 4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and 
 set in order the things that are upon 
 it ; and thou shalt bring in the candle- 
 stick, and 1 light the lamps thereof. 
 
 5 And thou shalt set the golden altar 
 for incense before the ark of the testi- 
 mony, and put the screen of the door 
 
 6 to the tabernacle. And thou shalt set 
 the altar of burnt offering before the 
 door of the tabernacle of the tent of 
 
 7 meeting. And thou shalt set the layer 
 between the tent of meeting and the 
 altar, and shalt put water therein. 
 
 8 And thou shalt set up the court round 
 about, and hang up the screen of the 
 
 9 gate of the court. And thou shalt 
 take the anointing oil, and anoint the 
 tabernacle, and all that is therein, and 
 shalt hallow it, and all the furniture 
 
 10 thereof: and it shall be holy. And 
 thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt 
 offering, and all its vessels, and sanc- 
 tify the altar: and the altar shall be 
 
 11 most holy. And thou shalt anoint the 
 
 12 layer and its base, and sanctify it. And 
 thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons 
 unto the door of the tent of meeting, 
 
 13 and shalt wash them with water. And 
 thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy 
 garments ; and thou shalt anoint him, 
 and sanctify him, that he may minister 
 
 14 unto me in the priest’s office. And thou 
 shalt bring his sons, and put coats 
 
 15 upon them: and thou shalt anoint 
 them, as thou didst anoint their father, 
 that they may minister unto me in the 
 priest’s office : and their anointing shall 
 be to them for an everlasting priest- 
 hood throughout their generations. 
 
 16 Thus did Moses : according to all that 
 the Lord commanded him, so did he. 
 
 17 And it came to pass in the first month 
 in the second year, on the first day of 
 the month, that the tabernacle was 
 
 18 reared up. And Moses reared up the 
 tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and 
 set up the boards thereof, and put in 
 the bars thereof, and reared up its 
 
 19 pillars. And he spread the tent over 
 the tabernacle, and put the covering 
 of the tent above upon it ; as the Lord 
 
 20 commanded Moses. And he took and 
 
 put the testimony into the ark, and 
 set the staves on the ark, and put the 
 
 21 mercy-seat above upon the ark: and 
 he brought the ark into the tabernacle, 
 and set up the veil of the screen, and 
 screened the ark of the testimony ; as 
 
 22 the Lord commanded Moses. And he 
 put the table in the tent of meeting, 
 upon the side of the tabernacle north- 
 
 23 ward, without the veil. And he set 
 the bread in order upon it before 
 the Lord; as the Lord commanded 
 
 24 Moses. And he put the candlestick 
 in the tent of meeting, over against 
 the table, on the side of the taber- 
 
 25 nacle southward. And he 1 lighted the 
 lamps before the Lord ; as the Lord 
 
 26 commanded Moses. And he put the 
 golden altar in the tent of meeting 
 
 27 before the veil : and he burnt thereon 
 incense of sweet spices; as the Lord 
 
 28 commanded Moses. And he put the 
 screen of the door to the tabernacle. 
 
 29 And he set the altar of burnt offering 
 at the door of the tabernacle of the 
 tent of meeting, and offered upon it 
 the burnt offering and the meal offer- 
 ing; as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 30 And he set the laver between the tent 
 of meeting and the altar, and put 
 
 31 water therein, to wash withal. 2 And ^Seedi. 
 Moses and Aaron and his sons washed -jo. x ‘ * ’ 
 their hands and their feet thereat; 
 
 32 when they went into the tent of meet- 
 ing, and when they came near unto the 
 altar, they washed : as the Lord com- 
 
 33 mantled Moses. And he reared up the 
 court round about the tabernacle and 
 the altar, and set up the screen of the 
 gate of the court. So Moses finished 
 the work. 
 
 34 Then the cloud covered the tent of 
 meeting, and the glory of the Lord 
 
 35 filled the tabernacle. And Moses was 
 not able to enter into the tent of meet- 
 ing, because the cloud abode thereon, 
 and the glory of the Lord filled the 
 
 36 tabernacle. And when the cloud was 
 taken up from over the tabernacle, 
 the children of Israel went onward, 
 
 37 throughout all their journeys: but if 
 the cloud were not taken up, then 
 they journeyed not till the day that it 
 
 38 was taken up. Lor the cloud of the 
 Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, 
 and there was fire therein by night, 
 in the sight of all the house of Israel, 
 throughout all their journeys.

THE THIRD BOOK OF MOSES, 
 
 COMMONLY CALLED 
 
 LEVITICUS. 
 
 I And the Lord called unto Moses, i 
 and spake unto liim out of the tent 
 
 ‘2 of meeting, saying, Speak unto the 
 children of Israel, and say unto them, 
 When any man of you offereth an 
 oblation unto the Lord, ye shall offer 
 your oblation of the cattle, even of the 
 herd and of the flock. 
 
 3 If his oblation be a burnt offering 
 of the herd, he shall offer it a male j 
 without blemish: he shall offer it at j 
 the door of the tent of meeting, that j 
 he may be accepted before the Lord. 
 
 4 And he shall lay his hand upon the | 
 head of the burnt offering; and it j 
 shall be accepted for him to make j 
 
 5 atonement for him. And he shall ! 
 kill the bullock before the Lord : and 
 Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall pre- 
 sent the blood, and sprinkle the blood 
 round about upon the altar that is at 
 
 6 the door of the tent of meeting. And 
 he shall flay the burnt offering, and 
 
 7 cut it into its pieces. And the sons of 
 Aaron the priest shall put fire upon 
 the altar, and lay wood in order upon 
 
 8 the fire : and Aaron’s sons, the priests, 
 shall lay the pieces, the head, and the 
 fat, in order upon the wood that is on 
 
 9 the fire which is upon the altar: but 
 its inwards and its legs shall he wash 
 with water : and the priest shall burn 
 the whole on the altar, for a burnt 
 offering, an offering made by fire, of a 
 sweet savour unto the Lord. 
 
 10 And if his oblation be of the flock, of 
 the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt 
 offering ; he shall offer it a male witli- 
 
 II out blemish. And he shall kill it on 
 the side of the altar northward be- 
 fore the Lord : and Aaron’s sons, the 
 priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon 
 
 12 the altar round about. And he shall 
 cut it into its pieces, with its head 
 and its fat: and the priest shall lay 
 them in order on the wood that is on 
 
 13 the fire which is upon the altar: but 
 the inwards and the legs shall he wash 
 with water: and the priest shall offer 
 the whole, and burn it upon the altar : 
 it is a burnt offering, an offering made 
 by fire, of a sweet savour unto the 
 Lord. 
 
 14 And if his oblation to the Lord 
 be a burnt offering of fowls, then 
 
 he shall offer his oblation of turtle- 
 
 15 doves, or of young pigeons. And the 
 priest shall bring it unto the altar, 
 and 1 wring off its head, and burn it 
 on the altar; and the blood thereof 
 shall be drained out on the side of the 
 
 16 altar : and he shall take away its crop 
 with the 2 filth thereof, and cast it 
 beside the altar on the east part, in 
 
 17 the place of the ashes : and he shall 
 rend it by the wings thereof, but shall 
 not divide it asunder: and the priest 
 shall burn it upon the altar, upon the 
 wood that is upon the fire: it is a 
 burnt offering, an offering made by 
 fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. 
 
 2 And when any one offereth an obla- 
 tion of a meal offering unto the Lord, 
 his oblation shall be of fine flour ; and 
 he shall pour oil upon it, and put 
 
 2 frankincense thereon: and he shall 
 bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: 
 and he shall take thereout his handful 
 of the fine flour thereof, and of the 
 oil thereof, with all the frankincense 
 thereof; and the priest shall burn it 
 as the memorial thereof upon the 
 altar, an offering made by fire, of a 
 
 3 sweet savour unto the Lord : and that 
 which is left of the meal offering shall 
 be Aaron’s and his sons’ : it is a thing 
 most holy of .the offerings of the Lord 
 made by fire. 
 
 4 And when thou offerest an oblation 
 of a meal offering baken in the oven, 
 it shall be unleavened cakes of fine 
 flour mingled with oil, or unleavened 
 
 5 wafers anointed with oil. And if thy 
 oblation be a meal offering of the 
 3 baking pan, it shall be of fine flour 
 
 6 unleavened, mingled with oil. Thou 
 shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil 
 
 7 thereon : it is a meal offering. And if 
 thy oblation be a meal offering of the 
 frying pan, it shall be made of fine 
 
 8 flour with oil. And thou shalt bring 
 the meal offering that is made of these 
 things unto the Lord : and it shall be 
 presented unto the priest, and lie shall 
 
 0 bring it unto the altar. And the priest 
 shall take up from the meal offering 
 the memorial thereof, and shall burn 
 it upon the altar : an offering made 
 by fire, of a sweet savour unto the 
 
 10 Lord. And that which is left of the

 14 And the Lord spake unto Moses,

 leper in the day of his cleansing: he 
 
 3 shall be brought unto the priest : and 
 the priest shall go forth out of the 
 camp ; and the priest shall look, and, 
 behold, if the plague of leprosy be

 priest command to take for him that

 birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet,

 mand to kill one of the birds in an 
 earthen vessel over 2 running water:

 and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, 
 and the hyssop, and shall dip them 
 and the living bird in the blood of the 
 bird that was killed over the 2 running 
 
 7 water : and he shall sprinkle upon him 
 that is to be cleansed from the leprosy 
 seven times, and shall pronounce him 
 clean, and shall let go the living bird

 be cleansed shall wash his clothes, 
 and shave off all his hair, and bathe 
 himself in water, and he shall be clean : 
 and after that he shall come into the 
 camp, but shall dwell outside his tent 
 
 9 seven days. And it shall be on the 
 seventh day, that he shall shave all his 
 hair off his head and his beard and 
 his eyebrows, even all his hair he 
 shall shave off : and he shall wash his 
 clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh 
 
 10 in water, and he shall be clean. And 
 on the eighth day he shall take two lie- 
 lambs without blemish, and one ewe- 
 lamb of the first year without blemish, 
 and three tenth parts of an ephah of 
 fine flour for a meal offering, mingled 
 
 11 with oil, and one log of oiL And the 
 priest that cleansetli him shall set the 
 man that is to be cleansed, and those 
 things, before the Lord, at the door

 shall take one of the he-lambs, and 
 offer him for a guilt offering, and the 
 log of oil, and wave them for a wave 
 
 13 offering before the Lord : and he shall 
 kill the he -lamb in the place where they 
 kill the sin offering and the burnt offer- 
 ing, in the place of the sanctuary : for 
 as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is 
 the guilt offering: it is most holy: 
 
 14 and the priest shall take of the blood 
 of the guilt offering, and the priest 
 shall put it upon the tip of the right 
 ear of him that is to be cleansed, and 
 upon the thumb of his right hand, 
 and upon the great toe of his right 
 
 15 foot : and the priest shall take of the 
 log of oil, and pour it into the palm 
 
 16 of his own left hand : and the priest 
 shall dip his right finger in the oil 
 that is in his left hand, and shall 
 sprinkle of the oil with his finger 
 
 17 seven times before the Lord : and of 
 the rest of the oil that is in his hand 
 shall the priest put upon the tip of 
 the right ear of him that is to be 
 cleansed, and upon the thumb of his 
 right hand, and upon the great toe of 
 his right foot, upon the blood of the 
 
 18 guilt offering: and the rest of the oil 
 that is in the priest’s hand he shall 
 put upon the head of him that is to be 
 cleansed: and the priest shall make 
 atonement for him before the Lord. 
 
 19 And the priest shall offer the sin 
 offering, and make atonement for him 
 that is to be cleansed because of his 
 uncleanness; and afterward he shall 
 
 20 kill the burnt offering : and the priest 
 shall offer the burnt offering and the 
 meal offering upon the altar : and the 
 priest shall make atonement for him, 
 and he shall be clean. 
 
 21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so 
 much, then he shall take one he-lamb 
 for a guilt offering to be waved, to 
 make atonement for him, and one tenth 
 part of an ephah of fine flour mingled 
 with oil for a meal offering, and a log 
 
 22 of oil; and two turtledoves, or two 
 young pigeons, such as he is able to 
 get; and the one shall be a sin offer- 
 ing, and the other a burnt offering. 
 
 23 And on the eighth day he shall bring 
 them for his cleansing unto the priest, 
 unto the door of the tent of meeting, 
 
 24 before the Lord. And the priest shall 
 take the lamb of the guilt offering, 
 and the log of oil, and the priest shall 
 wave them for a wave offering before 
 
 25 the Lord : and he shall kill the lamb of 
 the guilt offering, and the priest shall 
 take of the blood of the guilt offering, 
 and put it upon the tip of the right

 upon the great toe of his right foot:

 right finger some of the oil that is in 
 his left hand seven times before the 
 
 28 Lord : and the priest shall put of the 
 oil that is in his hand upon the tip of 
 the right ear of him that is to be 
 cleansed, and upon the thumb of his 
 right hand, and upon the great toe of 
 his right foot, upon the place of the 
 
 29 blood of the guilt offering: and the 
 rest of the oil that is in the priest’s 
 hand he shall put upon the head of 
 him that is to be cleansed, to make 
 atonement for him before the Lord. 
 
 30 And he shall offer one of the turtle- 
 doves, or of the young pigeons, such as 
 
 31 he is able to get ; even such as he is 
 able to get, the one for a sin offering, 
 and the other for a burnt offering, 
 with the meal offering : and the priest 
 shall make atonement for him that is 
 
 32 to be cleansed before the Lord. This 
 is the law of him in whom is the plague 
 of leprosy, who is not able to get that 
 which pertaineth to his cleansing. 
 
 33 And the Lord spake unto Moses and 
 
 34 unto Aaron, saying, When ye be come 
 into the land of Canaan, which I give 
 to you for a possession, and I put the 
 plague of leprosy in a house of the 
 
 35 land of your possession ; then he that 
 owneth the house shall come and tell 
 the priest, saying, There seemeth to 
 me to be as it were a plague in the 
 
 36 house : and the priest shall command 
 that they empty the house, before the 
 priest go in to see the plague, that 
 all that is in the house be not made 
 unclean : and afterward the priest shall 
 
 37 go in to see the house : and he shall 
 look on the plague, and, behold, if the 
 plague be in the walls of the house 
 with hollow strakes, greenish or red- 
 dish, and the appearance thereof be 
 
 38 lower than the wall; then the priest 
 shall go out of the house to the door 
 of the house, and shut up the house 
 
 39 seven days : and the priest shall come 
 again the seventh day, and shall look : 
 and, behold, if the plague be spread 
 
 40 in the walls of the house; then the 
 priest shall command that they take 
 out the stones in which the plague 
 is, and cast them into an unclean 
 
 41 place without the city: and he shall 
 cause the house to be scraped within 
 round about, and they shall pour out 
 the mortar that they scrape off without 
 
 42 the city into an unclean place: and 
 they shall take other stones, and put 
 them in the place of those stones; 
 and he shall take other mortar, and 
 
 43 shall plaister the house. And if the 
 plague come again, and break out in 
 the house, after that he hath taken 
 out the stones, and after he hath 
 scraped the house, and after it is 
 
 44 plaistered ; then the priest shall come 
 in and look, and, behold, if the plague 
 be spread in the house, it is a fretting 
 
 leprosy in the house: it is unclean. 
 
 45 And he shall break down the house, 
 the stones of it, and the timber thereof, 
 and all the mortar of the house ; and 
 he shall carry them forth out of the 
 
 46 city into an unclean place. Moreover 
 he that goetli into the house all the 
 while that it is shut up shall be unclean 
 
 47 until the even. And he that lietli in 
 the house shall wash his clothes ; and 
 he that eateth in the house shall wash 
 
 48 his clothes. And if the priest shall 
 come in, and look, and, behold, the 
 plague hath not spread in the house, 
 after the house was plaistered; then 
 the priest shall pronounce the house 
 clean, because the plague is healed. 
 
 49 And he shall take to cleanse the house , 
 two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, 
 
 50 and hyssop: and he shall kill one of 
 the birds in an earthen vessel over 
 
 51 1 running water: and he shall take the 1 Heb. 
 cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the lving ’ 
 scarlet, and the living bird, and dip 
 them in the blood of the slain bird, 
 and in the 1 running water, and sprinkle 
 
 52 the house seven times: and he shall 
 cleanse the house with the blood of 
 the bird, and with the 1 running water, 
 and with the living bird, and with the 
 cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and 
 
 53 with the scarlet : but he shall let go the 
 living bird out of the city into the open 
 field : so shall he make atonement for 
 the house : and it shall be clean. 
 
 54 This is the law for all manner of 
 
 55 plague of leprosy, and for a scall ; and 
 for the leprosy of a garment, and for 
 
 56a house; and for a rising, and for a 
 
 57 scab, and for a bright spot : to teach 
 when it is unclean, and when it is 
 clean : this is the law of leprosy. 
 
 15 And the Lord spake unto Moses and 
 
 2 to Aaron, saying, Speak unto the 
 children of Israel, and say unto them, 
 
 When any man hath an issue out of his 
 flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 
 
 3 And this shall be his uncleanness in 
 his issue: whether his flesh run with 
 his issue, or his flesh be stopped from 
 
 4 his issue, it is his uncleanness. Every 
 bed whereon he that hath the issue 
 lieth shall be unclean : and every thing 
 whereon he sitteth shall be unclean. 
 
 5 And whosoever touclieth his bed shall 
 wash his clothes, and bathe himself in 
 water, and be unclean until the even. 
 
 6 And he that sitteth on any thing where- 
 on he that hath the issue sat shall wash 
 his clothes, and bathe himself in water, 
 
 7 and be unclean until the even. And 
 he that touclieth the flesh of him that 
 hath the issue shall wash his clothes, 
 and bathe himself in water, and be 
 
 8 unclean until the even. And if he 
 that hath the issue spit upon him that 
 is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, 
 and bathe himself in water, and be 
 
LEVITICUS. 
 
 89 
 
 9 unclean until tlie even. And what 
 1 saddle soever lie that hath the issue 
 
 lOrideth upon shall be unclean. And 
 whosoever toucheth any thing that 
 was under him shall he unclean until 
 the even: and he that beareth those 
 things shall wash his clothes, and 
 bathe himself in water, and be unclean 
 
 11 until the even. And whomsoever he 
 that hath the issue toucheth, without 
 having rinsed his hands in water, he 
 shall wash his clothes, and bathe him- 
 self in water, and be unclean until the 
 
 12 even. And the earthen vessel, which 
 he that hath the issue toucheth, shall 
 be broken : and every vessel of wood 
 
 13 shall be rinsed in water. And when 
 he that hath an issue is cleansed of 
 his issue, then he shall number to 
 himself seven days for his cleansing, 
 and wash his clothes; and he shall 
 bathe his flesh in 2 running water, and 
 
 14 shall be clean. And on the eighth 
 day he shall take to him two turtle- 
 doves, or two young pigeons, and 
 come before the Lord unto the door 
 of the tent of meeting, and give 
 
 15 them unto the priest : and the priest 
 shall offer them, the one for a sin 
 offering, and the other for a burnt 
 offering; and the priest shall make 
 atonement for him before the Lord 
 for his issue. 
 
 16 And if any man’s seed of copulation 
 go out from him, then he shall bathe 
 all his flesh in water, and be unclean 
 
 17 until the even. And every garment, 
 and every skin, whereon is the seed of 
 copulation, shall be washed with water, 
 
 18 and be unclean until the even. The 
 woman also with whom a man shall 
 lie with seed of copulation, they shall 
 both bathe themselves in water, and 
 be unclean until the even. 
 
 19 And if a woman have an issue, and 
 her issue in her flesh be blood, she 
 shall be in her 3 impurity seven days: 
 and whosoever toucheth her shall be 
 
 20 unclean until the even. And every 
 thing that she lieth upon in her 3 im- 
 purity shall be unclean: every thing 
 also that she sittetli upon shall be 
 
 21 unclean. And whosoever toucheth her 
 bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe 
 himself in water, and be unclean 
 
 22 until the even. And whosoever touch- 
 eth any thing that she sittetli upon 
 shall wash his clothes, and bathe 
 himself in water, and be unclean until 
 
 23 the even. And if it be on the bed, or 
 on any thing whereon she sittetli, 
 when he toucheth it, he shall lie unclean 
 
 24 until the even. And if any man lie 
 with her, and her impurity be upon 
 him, he shall be unclean seven days ; 
 and every bed whereon he lieth shall 
 be unclean. 
 
 25 And if a woman have an issue of her 
 blood many days not in the time of her 
 
 impurity, or if she have an issue 
 beyond the time of her impurity; all 
 the days of the issue of her uncleanness 
 she shall be as in the days of her 
 
 26 impurity : she is unclean. Every bed 
 whereon she lieth all the days of her 
 issue shall be unto her as the bed of 
 her impurity : and every thing whereon 
 she sittetli shall be unclean, as the 
 
 27 uncleanness of her impurity. And 
 whosoever toucheth those things shall 
 be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, 
 and bathe himself in water, and be 
 
 28 unclean until the even. But if she 
 be cleansed of her issue, then she 
 shall number to herself seven days, 
 
 29 and after that she shall be clean. And 
 on the eighth day she shall take unto 
 her two turtledoves, or two young 
 pigeons, and bring them unto the 
 priest, to the door of the tent of meeting. 
 
 30 And the priest shall offer the one for a 
 sin offering, and the other for a burnt 
 offering; and the priest shall make 
 atonement for her before the Lord for 
 the issue of her uncleanness. 
 
 31 Thus shall ye separate the children 
 of Israel from their uncleanness ; that 
 they die not in their uncleanness, when 
 they defile my tabernacle that is in the 
 midst of them. 
 
 32 This is the law of him that hath an 
 issue, and of him whose seed of cop- 
 ulation goeth from him, so that he is 
 
 33 unclean thereby; and of her that is 
 sick with her impurity, and of him 
 that hath an issue, of the man, and of 
 the woman, and of him that lieth with 
 her that is unclean. 
 
 16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 after the death of the two sons of 
 Aaron, when they drew near before 
 
 2 the Lord, and died; and the Lord 
 said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron 
 thy brother, that he come not at all 
 times into the holy place within the 
 veil, before the mercy-seat which is 
 upon the ark; that he die not: for I 
 will appear in the cloud upon the mercy - 
 
 3 seat. Herewith shall Aaron come into 
 the holy place : with a young bullock 
 for a sin offering, and a ram for a 
 
 4 burnt offering. He shall put on the 
 holy linen coat, and he shall have the 
 linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall 
 be girded with the linen girdle, and with 
 the linen 4 mitre shall he be attired : 
 they are the holy garments; and lie 
 shall bathe his flesh in water, and put 
 
 5 them on. And he shall take of the 
 congregation of the children of Israel 
 two he-goats for a sin offering, and one 
 
 6 ram for a burnt offering. And Aaron 
 shall present the bullock of the sin of- 
 fering, which is for himself, and make 
 atonement for himself, and for his 
 
 7 house. And he shall take the two goats, 
 and set them before the Lord at the

 among you ; and ye shall be delivered 
 
 26 into the hand of the enemy. When I 
 break your staff of bread, ten women 
 shall bake your bread in one oven, 
 and they shall deliver your bread again 
 by weight : and ye shall eat, and not 
 be satisfied. 
 
 
 4 Or, 
 
 thousand : and your enemies shall fall 
 9 before you by the sword. And I will 
 have respect unto you, and make you 
 fruitful, and multiply you; and will 
 10 establish my covenant with you. And 
 ye shall eat old store long kept, and 
 ye shall bring forth the old 4 because of 
 
 27 And if ye will not for all this hearken 
 unto me, but walk contrary unto me ; 
 
 28 then I will walk contrary unto you in 
 fury; and I also will chastise you 
 
 29 seven times for your sins. And ye 
 shall eat the flesh of your sons, and 
 the flesh of your daughters shall ye 
 
 
 from 
 
 before 
 
 11 the new. And I will set my tabernacle 
 
 30 eat. And I will destroy your high 
 
 
 among you: and my soul shall not 
 
 12 abhor you. And I will walk among 
 you, and will be your God, and ye 
 
 13 shall be my people. I am the Lord 
 your God, which brought you forth 
 out of the land of Egypt, that ye 
 should not be their bondmen; and I 
 have broken the bars of your yoke, 
 and made you go upright. 
 
 14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and 
 will not do all these commandments; 
 
 places, and cut down your sun-images, 
 and cast your carcases upon the car- 
 cases of your idols ; and my soul shall 
 
 31 abhor you. And I will make your 
 cities a waste, and will bring your 
 sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will 
 not smell the savour of your sweet 
 
 32 odours. And I will bring the land into 
 desolation: and your enemies which 
 dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 
 
 33 And you will I scatter among the 
 nations, and I will draw out the sword 
 
 
 
 15 and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if 
 your soul abhor my judgements, so that 
 ye will not do all my commandments, 
 
 16 but break my covenant ; I also will do 
 this unto you; I will appoint terror 
 over you, even consumi3tion and fever, 
 that shall consume the eyes, and make 
 the soul to pine away : and ye shall sow 
 your seed in vain, for your enemies 
 
 17 shall eat it. And I will set my face 
 against you, and ye shall be smitten 
 before your enemies: they that hate 
 you shall rule over you; and ye shall 
 
 18 flee when none pursueth you. And if 
 ye will not yet for these things heark- 
 en unto me, then I will chastise you 
 
 19 seven times more for your sins. And 
 
 I will break the pride of your power ; 
 
 after you : and your land shall be a 
 desolation, and your cities shall be a 
 
 34 waste. Then shall the land enjoy her 
 sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, 
 and ye be in your enemies’ land ; even 
 then shall the land rest, and enjoy her 
 
 35 sabbaths. As long as it lieth desolate 
 it shall have rest ; even the rest which 
 it had not in your sabbaths, when ye 
 
 36 dAvelt upon it. And as for them that 
 are left of you, I will send a faintness 
 into their heart in the lands of their 
 enemies: and the sound of a driven 
 leaf shall chase them ; and they shall 
 flee, as one fleeth from the sword ; and 
 they shall fall when none pursueth. 
 
 37 And they shall stumble one upon 
 another, as it were before the sword,

 when none pursueth: and ye shall 
 have no power to stand before your 
 
 38 enemies. And ye shall perish among 
 the nations, and the land of your ene- 
 
 39 mies shall eat you up. And they that 
 are left of you shall pine away in 
 their iniquity in your enemies’ lands ; 
 and also in the iniquities of their 
 fathers shall they pine away with 
 
 j 40 them. And they shall confess their 
 iniquity, and the iniquity of their 
 fathers, in their trespass which they 
 trespassed against me, and also that 
 because they have walked contrary 
 
 41 unto me, I also walked contrary unto 
 them, and brought them into the land 
 of their enemies : if then their uncir- 
 cumcised lieirt be humbled, and they 
 then accept of the punishment of their 
 
 42 iniquity ; then will I remember my 
 covenant with Jacob; and also my 
 covenant with Isaac, and also my 
 covenant with Abraham will I remem- 
 ber; and I will remember the land. 
 
 43 The land also shall be left of them, 
 and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while 
 she lieth desolate without them; and 
 they shall accept of the punishment 
 of their iniquity: because, even be- 
 cause they rejected my judgements, 
 and their soul abhorred my statutes. 
 
 44 And yet for all that, when they be in 
 the land of their enemies, I will not 
 reject them, neither will I abhor them, 
 to destroy them utterly, and to break 
 my covenant with them : for I am the 
 
 45 Lord their God: but I will for their 
 sakes remember the covenant of their 
 ancestors, whom I brought forth out 
 of the land of Egypt in the sight of 
 the nations, that I might be their 
 God : I am the Lord. 
 
 46 These are the statutes and judge- 
 ments and laws, which the Lord made 
 between him and the children of Is- 
 rael in mount Sinai by the hand of 
 Moses. 
 
 2 7 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 
 ‘2 saying, Speak unto the children of Is- 
 rael, and say unto them, When a man 
 shall 1 accomplish a vow, 2 * 4 * 6 the persons 
 shall be for the Lord by thy estima- 
 3tion. And thy estimation shall be of 
 the male from twenty years old even 
 unto sixty years old, even thy estima- 
 tion shall be fifty shekels of silver, 
 
 4 after the shekel of the sanctuary. And 
 if it be a female, then thy estima- 
 
 5tion shall be thirty shekels. And if 
 it be from five years old even unto 
 twenty years old, then thy estimation 
 shall be of the male twenty shekels, 
 
 6 and for the female ten shekels. And 
 if it be from a month old even unto 
 five years old, then thy estimation 
 shall be of the male five shekels of 
 silver, and for the female thy estima- 
 tion shall be three shekels of silver. 
 
 7 And if it be from sixty years old and 
 upward ; if it be a male, then thy estim- 
 ation shall be fifteen shekels, and for 
 
 8 the female ten shekels. But if he be 
 poorer than thy estimation, then he 
 shall be set before the priest, and the 
 priest shall value him; according to 
 the ability of him that vowed shall 
 the priest value him. 
 
 9 And if it be a beast, whereof men 
 offer an oblation unto the Lord, all 
 that any man giveth of such unto the 
 
 10 Lord shall be holy. He shall not alter 
 it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or 
 a bad for a good : and if he shall at all 
 change beast for beast, then both it 
 and that for which it is changed shall 
 
 11 be holy. And if it be any unclean 
 beast, of which they do not offer an 
 oblation unto the Lord, then he shall 
 
 12 set the beast before the priest: and 
 the priest shall value it, whether it be 
 good or bad : as thou the priest valuest 
 
 13 it, so shall it be. But if he will indeed 
 redeem it, then he shall add the fifth 
 part thereof unto thy estimation. 
 
 14 And when a man shall sanctify his 
 house to be holy unto the Lord, then 
 the priest shall estimate it, whether 
 it be good or bad: as the priest shall 
 
 15 estimate it, so shall it stand. And if 
 he that sanctified it will redeem his 
 house, then he shall add the fifth part 
 of the money of thy estimation unto 
 it, and it shall be his. 
 
 16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the 
 Lord part of the field of his posses- 
 sion, then thy estimation shall be ac- 
 cording to the sowing thereof: the 
 sowing of a homer of barley shall he 
 
 17 valued at fifty shekels of silver. If 
 he sanctify his field from the year of 
 jubile, according to thy estimation it 
 
 18 shall stand. But if he sanctify his 
 field after the jubile, then the priest 
 shall reckon unto him the money ac- 
 cording to the years that remain unto 
 the year of jubile, and an abatement 
 shall be made from thy estimation. 
 
 19 And if he that sanctified the field will 
 indeed redeem it, then he shall add 
 the fifth part of the money of thy 
 estimation unto it, and it shall be 
 
 20 assured to him. And if he will not 
 redeem the field, or if he have sold the 
 field to another man, it shall not be 
 
 21 redeemed any more : but the field, 
 when it goetli out in the jubile, shall 
 be holy unto the Lord, as a field de- 
 voted ; the possession thereof shall be 
 
 22 the priest’s. And if he sanctify unto 
 the Lord a field which he hath bought, 
 which is not of the field of his pos- 
 
 23 session; then the priest shall reckon 
 unto him the worth of thy estimation 
 unto the year of jubile: and he shall 
 give thine estimation in that day, as 
 
 24 a holy thing unto the Lord. In the 
 year of jubile the field shall return

 36 Of the children of Benjamin, their 
 generations, by their families, by their

 old and upward, all that were able to 
 
 37 go forth to war ; those that were num-

 numbered of the children of Israel by 
 their fathers’ houses, from twenty years 
 old and upward, all that were able to 
 
 46 go forth to war in Israel ; even all they 
 that were numbered were six hundred 
 thousand and three thousand and five 
 hundred and fifty. 
 
 47 But the Levites after the tribe of 
 their fathers were not numbered a- 
 
 48 mong them. For the Lord spake unto 
 
 49 Moses, saying, Only the tribe of Levi 
 thou shalt not number, neither slialt 
 thou take the sum of them among the 
 
 50 children of Israel: but appoint thou 
 the Levites over the tabernacle of the 
 testimony, and over all the furniture 
 thereof, and over all that belongetli to 
 it : they shall bear the tabernacle, and 
 all the furniture thereof; and they 
 shall minister unto it, and shall en- 
 
 51 camp round about the tabernacle. And 
 when the tabernacle settetli forward, 
 the Levites shall take it down: and 
 when the tabernacle is to be pitched, 
 the Levites shall set it up: and the 
 stranger that cometh nigh shall be put 
 
 52 to death. And the children of Israel 
 shall pitch their tents, every man by 
 his own camp, and every man by 
 his own standard, according to their 
 
 53 hosts. But the Levites shall pitch 
 round about the tabernacle of the test- 
 imony, that there be no wrath upon 
 the congregation of the children of 
 Israel : and the Levites shall keep the 
 charge of the tabernacle of the test- 
 
 54 imony. Thus did the children of Is- 
 rael; according to all that the Lord 
 commanded Moses, so did they. 
 
 2 And the Lord spake unto Moses 
 
 2 and unto Aaron, saying, The children 
 of Israel shall pitch every man by 
 his own standard, with the ensigns 
 of their fathers’ houses : over against 
 the tent of meeting shall they pitch 
 
 3 round about. And those that pitch 
 on the east side toward the sunrising 
 shall be they of the standard of the

 the camp of Ephraim were an hundred 
 thousand and eight thousand and an 
 hundred, according to their hosts. 
 And they shall set forth third. 
 
 25 On the north side shall be the stand- 
 ard of the camp of Dan according to 
 their hosts: and the prince of the 
 children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the 
 
 26 son of Ammishaddai. And his host, 
 and those that were numbered of them, 
 were threescore and two thousand and 
 
 27 seven hundred. And those that pitch 
 next unto him shall be the tribe of 
 Asher : and the prince of the children 
 of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of 
 
 28 Ochran : and his host, and those that 
 were numbered of them, were forty 
 and one thousand and five hundred: 
 
 29 and the tribe of Naplitali: and the 
 prince of the children of Naphtali shall 
 
 30 be Ahira the son of Enan: and his 
 host, and those that were numbered 
 of them, were fifty and three thou- 
 
 31 sand and four hundred. All that 
 Avere numbered of the camp of Dan 
 were an hundred thousand and fifty 
 and seven thousand and six hundred. 
 They shall set forth hindmost by their 
 standards. 
 
 32 These are they that were numbered 
 of the children of Israel by their fa- 
 thers’ houses : all that were numbered 
 of the camps according to their hosts 
 were six hundred thousand and three 
 thousand and five hundred and fifty. 
 
 33 But the Levites were not numbered 
 among the children of Israel; as the 
 
 34 Lord commanded Moses. Thus did the 
 children of Israel ; according to all that 
 the Lord commanded Moses, so they 
 pitched by their standards, and so they 
 set forward, every one by their families, 
 according to their fathers’ houses. 
 
 3 Now these are the generations of 
 Aaron and Moses in the day that the 
 Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai. 
 
 2 And these are the names of the sons of 
 Aaron ; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, 
 
 3 Eleazar, and Ithamar. These are the 
 names of the sons of Aaron, the priests 
 which were anointed, whom he con- 
 secrated to minister in the priest’s 
 
 4 office. And Nadab and Abihu died 
 before the Lord, when they offered 
 strange fire before the Lord, in the 
 wilderness of Sinai, and they had no 
 children: and Eleazar and Ithamar 
 ministered in the priest’s office in the 
 presence of Aaron their father. 
 
 5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, say- 
 
 6 ing, Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set 
 them before Aaron the priest, that they

 37 These are they that were numbered of 
 the families of the Koliathites, all that 
 did serve in the tent of meeting, whom 
 Moses and Aaron numbered according 
 to the commandment of the Lord by 
 the hand of Moses. 
 
 38 And those that were numbered of the

 are they that were numbered of the 
 families of the sons of Gershon, all 
 that did serve in the tent of meeting, 
 whom Moses and Aaron numbered 
 according to the commandment of the 
 Lord. 
 
 42 And those that were numbered of 
 the families of the sons of Merari, by 
 their families, by their fathers’ houses, 
 
 43 from thirty years old and upward even 
 unto fifty years old, every one that en- 
 tered upon the service, for work in the 
 
 44 tent of meeting, even those that were 
 
 numbered of them by their families, 
 were three thousand and two hundred. 
 
 45 These are they that were numbered 
 of the families of the sons of Merari, 
 whom Moses and Aaron numbered 
 according to the commandment of the 
 Lord by the hand of Moses. 
 
 46 All those that were numbered of the 
 Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and 
 the princes of Israel numbered, by 
 their families, and by their fathers’ 
 
 47 houses, from thirty years old and up- 
 ward even unto fifty years old, every 
 one that entered in to do the work of 
 service, and the work of bearing bur- 
 
 48 dens in the tent of meeting, even those 
 that w T ere numbered of them, were 
 eight thousand and five hundred and 
 
 49 fourscore. According to the command- 
 ment of the Lord they were numbered 
 by the hand of Moses, every one ac- 
 cording to his service, and 2 according 
 to his burden: thus were they num- 
 bered of him, as the Lord commanded 
 Moses. 
 
 5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 
 2 saying, Command the children of Israel, 
 that they put out of the camp every 
 leper, and every one that hath an issue, 
 and whosoever is unclean by the dead : 
 
 3 both male and female shall ye put out, 
 without the camp shall ye put them; 
 that they defile not their camp, in the 
 
 4 midst whereof I dwell. And the children 
 of Israel did so, and put them out with- 
 out the camp : as the Lord spake unto 
 Moses, so did the children of Israel. 
 
 5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 
 6 saying, Speak unto the children of 
 Israel, When a man or woman shall 
 commit any sin that men commit, to do 
 a trespass against the Lord, and that 
 
 7 soul be guilty ; then they shall confess 
 their sin which they have done: and 
 he shall make restitution for his guilt 
 in full, and add unto it the fifth part 
 thereof, and give it unto him in respect 
 
 8 of whom he hath been guilty. But if 
 the man have no kinsman to whom 
 restitution may be made for the guilt, 
 the restitution for guilt which is made 
 unto the Lord shall be the priest’s; 
 besides the ram of the atonement, 
 whereby atonement shall be made for 
 
 9 him. And every heave offering of 
 all the holy things of the children of 
 Israel, which they present unto the 
 
 10 priest, shall be his. And every man’s 
 hallowed things shall be his : whatso- 
 ever any man giveth the priest, it shall 
 be his. 
 
 11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, say- 
 
 12 ing, Speak unto the children of Israel, 
 and say unto them, If any man’s wife 
 go aside, and commit a trespass against 
 
 13 him, and a man lie with her carnally, 
 and it be hid from the eyes of her hus- 
 band, and be kept close, and she be 
 defiled, and there be no witness against

 her, neither she be taken in the act; 
 
 14 and the spirit of jealousy come upon 
 him, and he be jealous of Ins wife, and 
 she be defiled: or if the spirit of jeal- 
 ousy come upon him, and he be jealous 
 of his wife, and she be not defiled: 
 
 15 then shall the man bring his wife unto 
 the priest, and shall bring her oblation 
 for her, the tenth part of an ephah of 
 barley meal ; he shall pour no oil upon 
 it, nor put frankincense thereon; for 
 it is a meal offering of jealousy, a 
 meal offering of memorial, bringing 
 
 16 iniquity to remembrance. And the 
 priest shall bring her near, and set her 
 
 17 before the Lord : and the priest shall 
 take holy water in an earthen vessel ; 
 and of the dust that is on the floor of 
 the tabernacle the priest shall take, 
 
 18 and put it into the water: and the 
 priest shall set the woman before the 
 Lord, and let the hair of the woman’s 
 head go loose, and put the meal offer- 
 ing of memorial in her hands, which 
 is the meal offering of jealousy: and 
 the priest shall have in his hand the 
 water of bitterness that causetli the 
 1 19 curse: and the priest shall cause her 
 to swear, and shall say unto the wo- 
 | man, If no man have lien with thee, 
 and if thou hast not gone aside to un- 
 cleanness, 1 being under thy husband, 
 be thou free from this water of bitter- 
 “10 ness that causetli the curse : but if 
 thou hast gone aside, 1 being under thy 
 husband, and if thou be defiled, and 
 some man have lien with thee besides 
 21 thine husband: then the priest shall 
 cause the woman to swear with the 
 oath of 2 cursing, and the priest shall 
 say unto the woman, The Lord make 
 thee a 2 curse and an oath among thy 
 people, when the Lord doth make thy 
 thigh to fall away, and thy belly to 
 ! 22 swell ; and this water that causetli 
 the curse shall go into thy bowels, 
 and make thy belly to swell, and thy 
 thigh to fall away: and the woman 
 i 23 shall say, Amen, Amen. And the 
 priest shall write these curses in a 
 book, and he shall blot them out into 
 I 24 the water of bitterness : and he shall 
 make the woman drink the water of 
 bitterness that causetli the curse : and 
 the water that causetli the curse shall 
 25 enter into her and become bitter. And 
 the priest shall take the meal offering 
 of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, 
 and shall wave the meal offering be- 
 fore the Lord, and bring it unto the 
 26 altar: and the priest shall take an 
 handful of the meal offering, as the 
 memorial thereof, and burn it upon 
 the altar, and afterward shall make 
 27 the woman drink the water. And 
 when he hath made her drink the 
 water, then it shall come to pass, if j 
 she be defiled, and have committed 
 a trespass against her husband, that 
 
 the water that causetli the curse shall 
 enter into her and become bitter, and 
 her belly shall swell, and her thigh 
 shall fall away : and the woman shall 
 
 28 be a curse among her people. And 
 if the woman be not defiled, but be 
 clean ; then she shall be free, and 
 
 29 shall conceive seed. This is the law 
 of jealousy, when a wife, 3 being under 
 her husband, goetli aside, and is de- 
 
 30 filed; or when the spirit of jealousy j 
 cometli ujion a man, and he be jealous j 
 over his wife ; then shall he set the j 
 woman before the Lord, and the priest 
 shall execute upon her all this law. j 
 
 31 And the man shall be free from in- 
 iquity, and that woman shall bear 
 her iniquity. 
 
 6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, sny- 
 
 2 ing, Speak unto the children of Israel, 
 and say unto them, When either man 
 or woman shall make a special vow, 
 the vow of 4 a Nazirite, to 5 separate 
 
 3 himself unto the Lord : he shall separ- 
 ate himself from wine and strong 
 drink; he shall drink no vinegar of 
 wine, or vinegar of strong drink, 
 neither shall he drink any liquor of 
 grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 
 
 4 All the days of his 6 separation shall 
 he eat nothing that is made of the

 separation there shall no razor come 
 upon his head : until the days be ful- 
 filled, in the which he separatetli 
 himself unto the Lord, he shall be 
 holy, he shall let the locks of the hair 
 
 6 of his head grow long. All the days 
 that he separatetli himself unto the 
 Lord he shall not come near to a 
 
 7 dead body. He shall not make him- 
 self unclean for his father, or for his 
 mother, for his brother, or for his 
 sister, when they die: because his 
 separation unto God is upon his head. 
 
 8 All the days of his separation he is 
 
 9 holy unto the Lord. And if any man 
 die very suddenly beside him, and he 
 defile the head of his separation ; then 
 he shall shave his head in the day of his 
 cleansing, on the seventh day shall he 
 
 10 shave it. And on the eighth day he shall 
 bring two turtledoves, or two young 
 pigeons, to the priest, to the door of 
 
 lithe tent of meeting: and the priest 
 shall offer one for a sin offering, and the 
 other for a burnt offering, and make 
 atonement for him, for that he sinned 
 by reason of the dead, and shall hallow 
 
 12 his head that same day. And he shall 
 separate unto the Lord the days of 
 his separation, and shall bring a lie- 
 lamb of the first year for a guilt offer- 
 ing : but the former days shall be void, 
 because his separation was defiled.

 when the days of his separation are

 22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 
 23 saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto 
 liis sons, saying, On this wise ye shall 
 bless the children of Israel; ye shall 
 say unto them, 
 
 24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee : 
 
 25 The Lord make his face to shine 
 upon thee, and be gracious unto thee : 
 
 26 The Lord lift up his countenance 
 upon thee, and give thee peace. 
 
 27 So shall they put my name upon the 
 children of Israel; and I will bless 
 them. 
 
 7 And it came to pass on the day that 
 Moses had made an end of setting 
 up the tabernacle, and had anointed 
 it and sanctified it, and all the furn- 
 iture thereof, and the altar and all 
 the vessels thereof, and had anointed 
 2 them and sanctified them; that the 
 princes of Israel, the heads of their 
 fathers’ houses, offered; these were 
 the princes of the tribes, these are 
 they that were over them that were 
 3 numbered: and they brought their 
 oblation before the Lord, six covered 
 
 wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon 
 for every two of the princes, and for 
 each one an ox: and they presented 
 
 4 them before the tabernacle. And the 
 
 5 Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take 
 it of them, that they may be to do the 
 service of the tent of meeting; and 
 thou shalt give them unto the Levites, 
 to every man according to his service. 
 
 6 And Moses took the wagons and the 
 oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. 
 
 7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave 
 unto the sons of Gershon, according to 
 
 8 their service: and four wagons and 
 eight oxen he gave unto the sons of 
 Merari, according unto their service, 
 under the hand of Itliamar the son of 
 
 9 Aaron the priest. But unto the sons 
 of Koliath he gave none: because 
 the service of the sanctuary belonged 
 unto them; they bare it upon their 
 10 shoulders. And the princes offered 
 
 2 for the dedication of the altar in the 
 day that it was anointed, even the 
 princes offered their oblation before 
 lithe altar. And the Lord said unto 
 Moses, They shall offer their oblation, 
 each prince on his day, for the dedica- 
 tion of the altar.

 all the congregation shall gather them- 
 selves unto thee at the door of the

 with one, then the princes, the heads 
 of the thousands of Israel, shall gather 
 
 5 themselves unto thee. And when ye 
 blow an alarm, the camps that lie on 
 the east side shall take their journey. 
 
 6 And when ye blow an alarm the 
 second time, the camps that lie on 
 the south side shall take their journey : 
 they shall blow an alarm for their

 11 And it came to pass in the second 
 year, in the second month, on the 
 twentieth day of the month, that the 
 cloud was taken up from over the 
 
 12 tabernacle of the testimony. And 
 the children of Israel set forward 
 according to their journeys out of the 
 wilderness of Sinai ; and the cloud 
 abode in the wilderness of Par an. 
 
 13 And they first took their journey 
 according to the commandment of the 
 
 14 Lord by the hand of Moses. And in 
 the first place the standard of the 
 camp of the children of Judah set 
 forward according to their hosts : and 
 over his host was Nahshon the son of 
 
 15 Amminadab. And over the host of 
 the tribe of the children of Issacliar 
 
 16 was Nethanel the son of Zuar. And 
 over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Zebulun was Eliab the son 
 
 17 of Helon. And the tabernacle was 
 taken down ; and the sons of Gerslion 
 and the sons of Merari, who bare the 
 
 18 tabernacle, set forward. And the 
 standard of the camp of Reuben set 
 forward according to their hosts : and 
 over his host was Elizur the son of 
 
 19 Shedeur. And over the host of the 
 tribe of the children of Simeon was 
 Slielumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 
 
 20 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 
 children of Gad was Eliasaph the 
 
 21 son of Deuel. And the Koliatliites 
 set forward, bearing the sanctuary : 
 and the other did set up the taber- 
 
 22nacle against they came. And the 
 standard of the camp of the children 
 of Ephraim set forward according to 
 their hosts : and over his host was 
 
 23Elisliama the son of Ammihud. And 
 over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Manasseh was Gamaliel 
 
 24 the son of Pedahzur. And over the 
 host of the tribe of the children of 
 Benjamin was Abidan the son of 
 
 25Gideoni. And the standard of the 
 camp of the children of Dan, which 
 was the rearward of all the camps, 
 set forward according to their hosts : 
 and over his host was Ahiezer the 
 
 26 son of Ammishaddai. And over the 
 host of the tribe of the children of 
 Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. 
 
 27 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Naphtali was Ahira the 
 
 28 son of Enan. Thus were the journey- 
 ings of the children of Israel according 
 to their hosts ; and they set forward. 
 
 29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son 
 of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father 
 in law, We are journeying unto the 
 place of which the Lord said, I will 
 give it you: come thou with us, and 
 Ave will do thee good : for the Lord 
 hath spoken good concerning Israel. 
 
 30 And he said unto him, I will not go ; 
 but I will depart to mine oavii land, 
 
 31 and to my kindred. And he said, 
 Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch 
 as thou know T est how we are to encamp 
 in the Avilderness, and thou shalt be to 
 
 32 us instead of eyes. And it shall be, if 
 thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that 
 Avhat good soever the Lord shall do 
 unto us, the same Avill Ave clo unto 
 thee. 
 
 33 And they set forAvard from the 
 mount of the Lord three days’ jour- 
 ney; and the ark of the covenant of 
 the Lord went before them three days’ 
 journey, to seek out a resting place for 
 
 34 them. And the cloud of the Lord 
 A vas over them by day, when they set 
 forAvard from the camp. 
 
 35 And it came to pass, Avhen the ark 
 set forAvard, that Moses said, Rise up, 
 
 0 Lord, and let thine enemies be 
 scattered; and let them that hate 
 
 36 thee flee before thee. And when it 
 rested, he said, Return, 0 Lord, unto 
 the ten thousands of the thousands of 
 Israel. 
 
 11 And the people Avere as murmurers, 
 
 1 speaking evil in the ears of the 
 Lord : and Avhen the Lord heard it, his 
 anger was kindled ; and the lire of the 
 Lord burnt among them, and devoured

 are the statutes, which the Lord com- 
 manded Moses, between a man and his 
 wife, between a father and his daugh- 
 ter, being in her youth, in her father’s

 31 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 
 2 saying, Avenge the children of Israel of 
 the Midianites: afterward slialt thou 
 
 She gathered unto thy people. And 
 Moses spake unto the people, saying, 
 Arm ye men from among you for the 
 war, that they may go against Midian, 
 to execute the Lord’s vengeance on 
 
 4 Midian. Of every tribe a thousand, 
 throughout all the tribes of Israel, 
 
 5 shall ye send to the war. So there 
 were delivered, out of the thousands 
 of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, 
 
 6 twelve thousand armed for war. And 
 Moses sent them, a thousand of every 
 tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas 
 the son of Eleazar the priest, to the 
 war, with the vessels of the sanctuary 
 and the trumpets for the alarm in 
 
 7 his hand. And they warred against 
 Midian, as the Lord commanded 
 Moses; and they slew every male. 
 
 8 And they slew the kings of Midian 
 with the rest of their slain ; Evi, and 
 
 Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba. 
 the five kings of Midian : Balaam also 
 the son of Beor they slew with the 
 9 sword. And the children of Israel 
 took captive the women of Midian and 
 their little ones ; and all their cattle, 
 and all their flocks, and all their 
 
 10 goods, they took for a prey. And all 
 their cities in the places wherein they 
 dwelt, and all their encampments, they 
 
 11 burnt with fire. And they took all 
 the spoil, and all the prey, both of 
 
 12 man and of beast. And they brought 
 the captives, and the prey, and the 
 spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar 
 the priest, and unto the congregation 
 of the children of Israel, unto the 
 camp at the plains of Moab, which are 
 by the Jordan at Jericho. 
 
 13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, 
 and all the princes of the congregation, 
 went forth to meet them without the 
 
 14 camp. And Moses was wroth with 
 the officers of the host, the captains 
 of thousands and the captains of hund- 
 reds, which came from the service of 
 
 15 the war. And Moses said unto them, 
 
 Have ye saved all the women alive? 
 
 16 Behold, these caused the children of 
 Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, 
 to commit trespass against the Lord 
 in the matter of Peor, and so the 
 plague was among the congregation of 
 
 17 the Lord. Now therefore kill every 
 male among the little ones, and kill 
 every woman that hath known man 
 
 18 by lying with him. But all the 
 women children, that have not known 
 man by lying with him, keep alive for 
 
 19 yourselves. And encamp ye Avithout 
 the camp seven days : whosoever hath 
 killed any person, and whosoever hath 
 touched any slain, purify yourselves 
 on the third day and on the seventh 
 
 20 day, ye and your captives. And as to 
 eA^ery garment, and all that is made 
 of skin, and all Avork of goats’ hair , 
 and all things made of wood, ye shall 
 
 21 purify yourselves. And Eleazar the 
 priest said unto the men of Avar which 
 went to the battle, This is the statute 
 of the law which the Lord hath com- 
 
 22 manded Moses : liowbeit the gold, 
 and the silver, the brass, the iron, the 
 
 23 tin, and the lead, eA^ery thing that 
 may abide the fire, ye shall make to 
 go through the fire, and it shall be 
 clean ; nevertheless it shall be purified 
 
 with the Avater of 1 separation: and 1 Or, *»n- 
 all that abideth not the fire ye shall VUTlty 
 
 24 make to go through the water. And ye 
 shall wash your clothes on the seventh 
 day, and ye shall be clean, and after- 
 ward ye shall come into the camp. 
 
 25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 
 26 saying, Take the sum of the prey 
 that Avas taken, both of man and of 
 beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest,

 46 sand and five hundred asses, and 
 
 Israel, that they should not go into 
 
 
 
 47 sixteen thousand persons ;) even of 
 
 the land which the Lord had given 
 
 
 
 the children of Israel’s half, Moses 
 
 10 them. And the Lord’s anger was 
 
 
 
 took one drawn out of every fifty, 
 
 kindled in that day, and he sware, 
 
 
 
 both of man and of beast, and gave 
 
 11 saying, Surely none of the men that 
 
 
 
 them unto the Levites, which kept 
 
 came up out of Egypt, from twenty 
 
 
 
 the charge of the tabernacle of the 
 
 years old and upward, shall see the 
 
 
 
 Lord ; as the Lord commanded Moses. 
 
 land which I sware unto Abraham, 
 
 
 
 48 And the officers which were over the 
 
 unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because 
 
 
 
 thousands of the host, the captains 
 
 they have not wholly followed me: 
 
 
 
 of thousands, and the captains of 
 
 12 save Caleb the son of Jepliunneh the 
 
 
 
 49 hundreds, came near unto Moses: and 
 
 Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun : 
 
 
 
 they said unto Moses, Thy servants 
 
 because they have wholly followed 
 
 
 
 have taken the sum of the men of 
 
 13 the Lord. And the Lord’s anger was 
 
 
33. 8. 
 
 NUMBERS. 
 
 133 
 
 kindled against Israel, and he made 
 them wander to and fro in the wilder- 
 ness forty years, until all the genera- 
 tion, that had done evil in the sight 
 
 14 of the Lord, was consumed. And, 
 behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ 
 stead, an increase of sinful men, to 
 augment yet the fierce anger of the 
 
 15 Lord toward Israel. For if ye turn 
 away from after him, he will yet again 
 leave them in the wilderness ; and ye 
 
 16 shall destroy all this people. And 
 they came near unto him, and said, 
 We will build sheepfolds here for our 
 cattle, and cities for our little ones: 
 
 17 but we ourselves will be ready armed 
 to go before the children of Israel, 
 until we have brought them unto their 
 place : and our little ones shall dwell 
 in the fenced cities because of the 
 
 18 inhabitants of the land. We will not 
 return unto our houses, until the 
 children of Israel have inherited every 
 
 19 man his inheritance. For we will not 
 inherit with them on the other side 
 Jordan, and forward ; because our in- 
 heritance is fallen to us on this side 
 
 20 Jordan eastward. And Moses said 
 unto them. If ye will do this thing; 
 if ye will arm yourselves to go before 
 
 21 the Lord to the war, and every armed 
 man of you will pass over Jordan 
 before the Lord, until he hath driven 
 
 22 out his enemies from before him, and 
 the land be subdued before the Lord : 
 then afterward ye shall return, and be 
 guiltless towards the Lord, and towards 
 Israel; and this land shall be unto 
 you for a possession before the Lord. 
 
 23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye 
 have sinned against the Lord : and be 
 
 24 sure your sin will find you out. Build 
 you cities for your little ones, and folds 
 for your sheep ; and do that which hath 
 
 25 proceeded out of your mouth. And 
 the children of Gad and the children 
 of Beuben spake unto Moses, saying, 
 Thy servants will do as my lord com- 
 
 26mandeth. Our little ones, our wives, 
 our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be 
 
 27 there in the cities of Gilead : but thy 
 servants will pass over, every man 
 that is armed for war, before the 
 Lord to battle, as my lord saith. 
 
 28 So Moses gave charge concerning 
 them to Eleazar the priest, and to 
 Joshua the son of Nun, and to the 
 heads of the fathers’ houses of the 
 
 29 tribes of the children of Israel. And 
 Moses said unto them, If the children 
 of Gad and the children of Reuben 
 will pass with you over Jordan, every 
 man that is armed to battle, before the 
 Lord, and the land shall be subdued 
 before you; then ye shall give them 
 the land of Gilead for a iiossession: 
 
 30 but if they will not pass over with you 
 armed, they shall have possessions a- 
 
 31 mong you in the land of Canaan. And 
 
 the children of Gad and the children of 
 Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord 
 hath said unto thy servants, so will we 
 
 32 do. We will pass over armed before 
 the Lord into the land of Canaan, 
 and the possession of our inheritance 
 shall remain with us beyond Jordan. 
 
 33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the 
 children of Gad, and to the children 
 of Reuben, and unto the half tribe of 
 Manasseh the son of Joseph, the king- 
 dom of Sihon king of the Amorites, 
 and the kingdom of Og king of Baslian, 
 the land, according to the cities there- 
 of with their borders, even the cities 
 
 34 of the land round about. And the 
 children of Gad built Dibon, and At- 
 
 35 aroth, and Aroer ; and Atroth-shophan, 
 
 36 and Jazer, and Jogbehali; and Betli- 
 nimrali, and Beth-liaran : fenced cities, 
 
 37 and folds for sheep. And the children 
 of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeli, 
 
 38 and Kiriatliaim; and Nebo, and Baal- 
 meon, (their names being changed,) 
 and Sibmah: and gave other names 
 unto the cities which they builded. 
 
 39 And the children of Macliir the son of 
 Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, 
 and dispossessed the Amorites which 
 
 40 were therein. And Moses gave Gilead 
 unto Macliir the son of Manasseh ; and 
 
 41 he dwelt therein. And J air the son of 
 Manasseh went and took the towns 
 thereof, and called them iHavvotli- 
 
 42 j air. And Nobali went and took Ken- 
 atli, and the 2 villages thereof, and 
 called it Nobah, after his own name. 
 
 33 These are the 3 journeys of the child- 
 ren of Israel, 4 when they went forth 
 out of the land of Egypt by their hosts 
 under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 
 
 2 And Moses wrote their goings out ac- 
 cording to their journeys by the com- 
 mandment of the Lord : and these are 
 their journeys according to their goings 
 
 3 out. And they journeyed from Ram- 
 eses in the first month, on the fif- 
 teenth day of the first month ; on the 
 morrow after the passover the child- 
 ren of Israel went out with an high 
 hand in the sight of all the Egypt- 
 
 4ians, while the Egyptians were bury- 
 ing all their firstborn, which the Lord 
 had smitten among them : upon their 
 gods also the Lord executed judge- 
 
 5ments. And the children of Israel 
 journeyed from Rameses, and pitched 
 
 6 in Succotli. And they journeyed from 
 Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which 
 is in the edge of the wilderness. 
 
 7 And they journeyed from Etham, 
 and turned back unto Pi-liahiroth, 
 which is before Baal-zephon : and 
 
 8 they pitched before Migdol. And 
 they journeyed from before Hahiroth, 
 and passed through the midst of 
 the sea into the wilderness : and 
 they went three days’ journey in the

 wilderness of Etham, and pitched 
 9 in Marah. And they journeyed from 
 Marah, and came unto Elim: and in 
 Elim were twelve springs of water, 
 and threescore and ten palm trees; 
 
 10 and they pitched there. And they j our- 
 neyed from Elim, and pitched by the 
 
 11 Bed Sea. And they journeyed from 
 the Bed Sea, and pitched in the wild- 
 
 12 erness of Sin. And they journeyed 
 from the wilderness of Sin, and pitched 
 
 13 in Dophkah. And they j ourneyed from 
 
 14 Dophkah, and pitched in Alush. And 
 they journeyed from Alush, and pitch- 
 ed in Bephidim, where was no water 
 
 15 for the people to drink. And they 
 journeyed from Bephidim, and pitched 
 
 16 in the wilderness of Sinai. And they 
 journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, 
 
 17 and pitched in Kibroth-hattaavah. And 
 they journeyed from Kibroth-hattaa-

 they journeyed from Hazeroth, and

 neyed from Bithmah, and pitched in 
 
 20 Bimmon-perez. And they journeyed 
 from Bimmon-perez, and pitched in 
 
 21Libnah. And they journeyed from 
 
 22Libnah, and pitched in Bissah. And 
 they journeyed from Bissah, and pitch- 
 
 23 ed in Kehelathah. And they jour- 
 neyed from Kehelathah, and pitched in 
 
 24 mount Sheplier. And they journeyed 
 from mount Shepher, and pitched in 
 
 25Haradali. And they journeyed from 
 Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. 
 
 26 And they journeyed from Makheloth, 
 
 27 and pitched in Tahath. And they 
 journeyed from Tahath, and pitched 
 
 28 in Terah. And they journeyed from 
 
 29 Terah, and pitched in Mithkah. And 
 they journeyed from Mithkah, and 
 
 30 pitched in Hashmonah. And they 
 journeyed from Hashmonah, and pitch- 
 
 31 ed in Moseroth. And they journeyed 
 from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene- 
 
 32jaakan. And they journeyed from 
 Bene-jaakan, and pitched in Hor-hag- 
 
 33 gidgad. And they j ourneyed from Hor- 
 liaggidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. 
 
 34 And they journeyed from Jotbathah, 
 
 35 and pitched in Abronah. And they 
 journeyed from Abronah, and pitched 
 
 36 in Ezion-geber. And they journeyed 
 from Ezion-geber, and pitched in the 
 wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh). 
 
 37 And they journeyed from Kadesh, and 
 pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of 
 
 38 the land of Edom. And Aaron the 
 priest went up into mount Hor at the 
 commandment of the Lord, and died 
 there, in the fortieth year after the 
 children of Israel were come out of the 
 land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on 
 
 39 the first day of the month. And Aaron 
 was an hundred and twenty and three 
 years old when he died in mount Hor. 
 
 40 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, 
 which dwelt in the South in the land 
 
 of Canaan, heard of the coming of 
 
 41 the children of Israel. And they jour- 
 neyed from mount Hor, and pitched in 
 
 42 Zalmonah. And they journeyed from 
 
 43 Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. And 
 they journeyed from Punon, and pitch- 
 
 44 ed in Oboth. And they j ourneyed from 
 Oboth, and pitched in Iye-abarim, in 
 
 45 the border of Moab. And they jour-

 47 And they journeyed from Almon-dibla- 
 thaim, and pitched in the mountains 
 
 48 of Abarim, before Nebo. And they 
 journeyed from the mountains of Ab- 
 arim, and pitched in the plains of Moab 
 
 49 by the Jordan at Jericho. And they 
 pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesh- 
 imoth even unto Abel-shittim in the 
 plains of Moab. 
 
 50 And the Lord spake unto Moses in 
 the plains of Moab by the Jordan 
 
 Slat Jericho, saying, Speak unto the 
 children of Israel, and say unto them, 
 When ye pass over Jordan into the 
 
 52 land of Canaan, then ye shall drive 
 out all the inhabitants of the land 
 from before you, and destroy all their 
 figured stones , and destroy all their 
 molten images, and demolish all their 
 
 53 high places : and ye shall take posses- 
 sion of the land, and dwell therein: 
 for unto you have I given the land to 
 
 54 possess it. And ye shall inherit the 
 land by lot according to your families ; 
 to the more ye shall give the more in- 
 heritance, and to the fewer thou shalt 
 give the less inheritance : wheresoever 
 the lot falleth to any man, that shall 
 be his ; according to the tribes of your 
 
 55 fathers shall ye inherit. But if ye will 
 not drive out the inhabitants of the 
 land from before you ; then shall those 
 which ye let remain of them be as 
 pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in 
 your sides, and they shall vex you in 
 
 56 the land wherein ye dwell. And it 
 shall come to pass, that as I thought to 
 do unto them, so will I do unto you. 
 
 34 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
 
 2 saying, Command the children of Is- 
 rael, and say unto them, When ye 
 come into the land of Canaan, (this is 
 the land that shall fall unto you for an 
 inheritance, even the land of Canaan 
 
 3 according to the borders thereof,) then 
 your south quarter shall be from the 
 wilderness of Zin along by the side of 
 Edom, and your south border shall be 
 from the end of the Salt Sea eastward : 
 
 4 and your border shall turn about south- 
 ward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and 
 pass along to Zin : and the goings out 
 thereof shall be southward of Kadesh- 
 barnea ; and it shall go forth to Hazar-

 lie is a manslayer : the manslayer shall 
 
 18 surely be put to death. Or if he smote 
 him with a weapon of wood in the hand, 
 whereby a man may die, and he died, 
 he is a manslayer : the manslayer shall 
 
 19 surely he put to death. The avenger 
 of blood shall himself put the man- 
 slayer to death : when he meeteth him, 
 
 20 he shall put him to death. And if he 
 thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, 
 
 21 lying in wait, so that he died; or in 
 enmity smote him with his hand, that 
 he died : he that smote him shall surely 
 be put to death ; he is a manslayer : 
 the avenger of blood shall put the 
 manslayer to death, when he meeteth 
 
 22 him. But if he thrust him suddenly 
 without enmity, or hurled upon him 
 
 23 any thing without lying in wait, or 
 with any stone, whereby a man may 
 die, seeing him not, and cast it upon 
 him, so that he died, and he was not 
 his enemy, neither sought his harm : 
 
 24 then the congregation shall judge be- 
 tween the smiter and the avenger of 
 blood according to these judgements : 
 
 25 and the congregation shall deliver the 
 manslayer out of the hand of the a- 
 venger of blood, and the congregation 
 shall restore him to his city of refuge, 
 whither he was fled : and he shall dwell 
 therein until the death of the high 
 priest, which was anointed with the 
 
 26 holy oil. But if the manslayer shall 
 at any time go beyond the border of 
 his city of refuge, whither he fleetli ; 
 
 27 and the avenger of blood find him 
 without the border of his city of 
 refuge, and the avenger of blood slay 
 the manslayer ; ihe shall not be guilty 
 
 28 of blood : because he should have re- 
 mained in his city of refuge until the 
 death of the high priest : but after the 
 death of the high priest the manslayer 
 shall return into the land of his pos- 
 
 29 session. And these things shall be 
 for a statute of judgement unto you 
 throughout your generations in all 
 
 30 your dwellings. Whoso killeth any 
 person, the manslayer shall be slain 
 at the mouth of witnesses: but one 
 witness shall not testify against any 
 
 31 person that he die. Moreover ye shall 
 take no ransom for the life of a man- 
 slayer, which is guilty of death: but 
 
 32 he shall surely be put to death. And 
 ye shall take no ransom for him that 
 is fled to his city of refuge, that he 
 should come again to dwell in the 
 land, until the death of the priest. 
 
 33 So ye shall not pollute the land 
 wherein ye are : for blood, it polluteth 
 the land : and no expiation can be made 
 for the land for the blood that is shed 
 therein, but by the blood of him that 
 
 34 shed it. And thou shalt not defile the 
 land which ye inhabit, in the midst of 
 which I dwell : for I the Lord dwell 
 in the midst of the children of Israel. 
 
 36 And the heads of the fathers’ houses 
 of the family of the children of Gilead, 
 the son of Machir, the son of Manas- 
 seh, of the families of the sons of Jo- 
 seph, came near, and spake before 
 Moses, and before the princes, the 
 heads of the fathers’ houses of the 
 
 2 children of Israel : and they said, The 
 Lord commanded my lord to give 
 the land for inheritance by lot to the 
 children of Israel: and my lord was 
 commanded by the Lord to give the 
 inheritance of Zelophehad our brother 
 
 3 unto his daughters. And if they be 
 married to any of the sons of the other 
 tribes of the children of Israel, then 
 shall their inheritance be taken away 
 from the inheritance of our fathers, 
 and shall be added to the inheritance 
 of the tribe whereunto they shall be- 
 long : so shall it be taken away from 
 
 4 the lot of our inheritance. And when 
 the jubile of the children of Israel shall 
 be, then shall their inheritance be 
 added unto the inheritance of the tribe 
 whereunto they shall belong : so shall 
 their inheritance be taken away from 
 the inheritance of the tribe of our 
 
 5 fathers. And Moses commanded the 
 children of Israel according to the 
 word of the Lord, saying, The tribe 
 of the sons of Joseph speaketh right. 
 
 6 This is the thing which the Lord doth 
 command concerning the daughters of 
 Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry 
 to whom they think best ; only to the 
 family of the tribe of their father shall 
 
 7 they marry. So shall no inheritance 
 of the children of Israel remove from 
 tribe to tribe : for the children of Is- 
 rael shall cleave every one to the in- 
 heritance of the tribe of his fathers. 
 
 8 And every daughter, that possessetli 
 an inheritance in any tribe of the 
 children of Israel, shall be wife unto 
 one of the family of the tribe of her 
 father, that the children of Israel may 
 possess every man the inheritance of 
 
 9 his fathers. So shall no inheritance 
 remove from one tribe to another 
 tribe ; for the tribes of the children 
 of Israel shall cleave every one to his 
 
 10 own inheritance. Even as the Lord 
 commanded Moses, so did the daugli- 
 
 11 ter s of Zelophehad: for Mahlah, Tir- 
 zah, and Hoglali, and Milcah, and 
 Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, 
 were married unto their father’s bro- 
 
 12 thers’ sons. They were married into 
 the families of the sons of Manasseli 
 the son of Joseph, and their inherit- 
 ance remained in the tribe of the family 
 of their father. 
 
 13 These are the commandments and 
 the judgements, which the Lord com- 
 manded by the hand of Moses unto the 
 children of Israel in the plains of Moab 
 by the Jordan at Jericho.

 THE FIFTH BOOK OF MOSES, 
 
 COMMONLY CALLED 
 
 DEUTERONOMY. 
 
 1 These be the words which Moses 
 spake unto all Israel beyond Jordan 
 in the wilderness, in the 1 Arabah over 
 
 j against 2 Suph, between Paran, and 
 Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, 
 
 2 and Di-zahab. It is eleven days’ jour- 
 ney from Horeb by the way of mount 
 
 3 Seir unto Kadesh-barnea. And it came 
 to pass in the fortieth year, in the 
 eleventh month, on the first day of 
 the month, that Moses spake unto the 
 children of Israel, according unto all 
 that the Lord had given him in com- 
 
 4mandment unto them; after he had 
 smitten Sihon the king of the Amor- 
 ites, which dwelt in Heslibon, and Og 
 the king of Bashan, which dwelt in 
 
 SAshtarotli, at Edrei: beyond Jordan, 
 in the land of Moab, began Moses to 
 
 6 declare this law, saying, The Lord 
 our God spake unto us in Horeb, say- 
 ing, Ye have dwelt long enough in this 
 
 7 mountain: turn you, and take your 
 journey, and go to the hill country of 
 the Amorites, and unto all the places 
 nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the 
 hill country, and in the lowland, and 
 in the South, and by the sea shore, 
 the land of the Canaanites, and Leba- 
 non, as far as the great river, the river 
 
 8 Euphrates. Behold, I have set the 
 land before you : go in and possess the 
 land which the Lord sware unto your 
 fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to 
 Jacob, to give unto them and to 
 
 9 their seed after them. And I spake 
 unto you at that time, saying, I am 
 
 10 not able to bear you myself alone : the 
 Lord your God hath multiplied you, 
 and, behold, ye are this day as the 
 
 11 stars of heaven for multitude. The 
 Lord, the God of your fathers, make 
 you a thousand times so many more 
 as ye are, and bless you, as he hath 
 
 12 promised you ! How cl. l I myself alone 
 bear your cumbrance, and your burden, 
 
 13 and your strife ? Take you wise men, 
 and understanding, and known, accord- 
 ing to your tribes, and I will make 
 
 14 them heads over you. And ye answered 
 me, and said, The thing which thou 
 
 15 hast spoken is good for us to do. So 
 I took the heads of your tribes, wise 
 men, and known, and made them heads 
 over you, captains of thousands, and 
 captains of hundreds, and captains of 
 
 fifties, and captains of tens, and of- 
 
 16ficers, according to your tribes. And 
 I charged your judges at that time, 
 saying, Hear the causes between your 
 brethren, and judge righteously be- 
 tween a man and his brother, and the 
 
 17 stranger that is with him. Ye shall 
 not respect persons in judgement; ye 
 shall hear the small and the great 
 alike ; ye shall not be afraid of the face 
 of man; for the judgement is God’s: 
 and the cause that is too hard for you 
 ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear 
 
 18 it. And I commanded you at that time 
 all the things which ye should do. 
 
 19 And we journeyed from Horeb, and 
 went through all that great and terrible 
 wilderness which ye saw, by the way 
 to the hill country of the Amorites, as 
 the Lord our God commanded us ; and 
 
 20 we came to Kadesh-barnea. And I 
 said unto you, Ye are come unto the 
 hill country of the Amorites, which 
 the Lord our God giveth unto us. 
 
 21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set 
 the land before thee: go up, take pos- 
 session, as the Lord, the God of thy 
 fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear 
 
 22 not, neither be dismayed. And ye came 
 near untome every one of you, and said, 
 Let us send men before us, that they 
 may search the land for us, and bring 
 us word again of the way by which we 
 must go up, and the cities unto which 
 
 23 we shall come. And the thing pleased 
 me well: and I took twelve men of 
 
 24 you, one man for every tribe : and they 
 turned and went up into the mountain, 
 and came unto the valley of Eshcol, 
 
 25 and spied it out. And they took of 
 the fruit of the land in their hands, 
 and brought it down unto us, and 
 brought us word again, and said, It is 
 a good land which the Lord our God 
 
 26 giveth unto us. Yet ye would not go 
 up, but rebelled against the command- 
 
 27 ment of the Lord your God : and ye 
 murmured in your tents, and said, 
 Because the Lord hated us, he hath 
 brought us forth out of the land of 
 Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of 
 
 28 the Amorites, to destroy us. Whither 
 are we going up? our brethren have 
 made our heart to melt, saying, The 
 people is greater and taller than we; 
 the cities are great and fenced up to

 heaven; and moreover we have seen 
 
 and we compassed mount Seir many 
 
 
 
 29 the sons of the Anakim there. Then 
 
 2 days. And the Lord spake unto me, 
 
 
 
 I said unto you, Dread not, neither be 
 
 3 saying, Ye have compassed this mount- 
 
 
 
 30 afraid of them. The Lord your God 
 
 ain long enough: turn you northward. 
 
 
 
 who goeth before you, lie shall fight 
 
 4 And command thou the people, saying, 
 
 
 
 for you, according to all that he did 
 
 Ye are to pass through the border of 
 
 
 
 31 for you in Egypt before your eyes; and 
 
 your brethren the children of Esau, 
 
 
 
 in the wilderness, where thou hast seen 
 
 which dwell in Seir; and they shall 
 
 
 
 how that the Lord thy God bare thee, 
 
 be afraid of you: take ye good heed 
 
 
 
 as a man doth bear his son, in all the 
 
 5 unto yourselves therefore: contend 
 
 
 
 way that ye went, until ye came unto 
 
 not with them ; for I will not give you 
 
 
 1 Or, for 
 
 32 this place. Yet 1 in this thing ye did 
 
 of their land, no, not so much as for 
 
 
 all this 
 
 33 not believe the Lord your God, who 
 
 the sole of the foot to tread on : because 
 
 
 
 went before you in the way, to seek 
 
 I have given mount Seir unto Esau 
 
 
 
 you out a place to pitch your tents in, 
 
 6 for a possession. Ye shall purchase 
 
 
 
 in fire by night, to shew you by what 
 
 food of them for money, that ye may 
 
 
 
 way ye should go, and in the cloud by 
 
 eat; and ye shall also buy water of 
 
 
 
 34 day. And the Lord heard the voice 
 
 them for money, that ye may drink. 
 
 
 
 of your words, and was wroth, and 
 
 7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed 
 
 
 
 35sware, saying, Surely there shall not 
 
 thee in all the work of thy hand : he 
 
 
 
 one of these men of this evil generation 
 
 hath known thy walking through this 
 
 
 
 see the good land, which I sware to 
 
 great wilderness : these forty years the 
 
 
 
 36 give unto your fathers, save Caleb the 
 
 Lord thy God hath been with thee; 
 
 
 
 son of Jepliunneli, he shall see it; and 
 
 8 thou hast lacked nothing. So we passed 
 
 
 
 to him will I give the land that he 
 
 by from our brethren the children of 
 
 
 
 hath trodden upon, and to his children : 
 
 Esau, which dwell in Seir, from the 
 
 
 
 because he hath wholly followed the 
 
 way of the Arabah from Elath and 
 
 
 
 37 Lord. Also the Lord was angry with 
 
 from Ezion-geber. 
 
 
 
 me for your sakes, saying, Thou also 
 
 And we turned and passed by the 
 
 
 
 38slialt not go in thither: Joshua the 
 
 9 way of the wilderness of Moab. And 
 
 
 
 son of Nun, which standeth before 
 
 the Lord said unto me, Vex not Moab, 
 
 
 
 thee, he shall go in thither : encourage 
 
 neither contend with them in battle: 
 
 
 
 thou him ; for he shall cause Israel to 
 
 for I will not give thee of his land for 
 
 
 
 39 inherit it. Moreover your little ones, 
 
 a possession ; because I have given Ar 
 
 
 
 which ye said should be a prey, and 
 
 unto the children of Lot for a posses- 
 
 
 
 your children, which this day have no 
 
 10 sion. (The Emim dwelt therein afore- 
 
 
 
 knowledge of good or evil, they shall

 go in thither, and unto them will I

 12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir afore-

 and said unto me, We have sinned 
 
 ceeded them ; and they destroyed them 
 
 
 
 against the Lord, we will go up and 
 
 from before them, and dwelt in their 
 
 
 
 fight, according to all that the Lord

 our God commanded us. And ye gird- 
 
 his possession, which the Lord gave

 14 over the brook Zered. And the days

 16 So it came to pass, when all the men

 of war were consumed and dead from 
 
 
 
 wept before the Lord; but the Lord 
 
 17 among the people, that the Lord spake 
 
 
 
 hearkened not to your voice, nor gave 
 
 18 unto me, saying, Tliou art this day to 
 
 
 
 46 ear unto you. So ye abode in Kadesli

 many days, according unto the days 
 
 when tliou comest nigh over against 
 
 
 
 that ye abode there. 
 
 the children of Ammon, vex them not, 
 
 
 
 2 Then we turned, and took our journey 
 
 nor contend with them : for I will not

 give thee of the land of the children

 of Ammon for a possession : because I

 city of

 have given it unto the children of Lot 
 
 20 for a possession. (That also is account- 
 ed a land of Bephaim : Bepliaim dwelt 
 therein aforetime ; but the Ammonites 
 
 21 call them Zamzummim ; a people great, 
 and many, and tall, as the Anakim; 
 hut the Lord destroyed them before 
 them; and they succeeded them, and 
 
 22 dwelt in their stead : as he did for the 
 children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, 
 when he destroyed the Horites from 
 before them ; and they succeeded them, 
 and dwelt in their stead even unto this 
 
 23 day: and the Avvim which dwelt in 
 villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, 
 which came forth out of Caphtor, de- 
 stroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) 
 
 24 Bise ye up, take your journey, and pass 
 over the valley of Arnon: behold, I 
 have given into thine hand Sihon the 
 Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his 
 land : begin to possess it, and contend 
 
 25 with him in battle. This day will I 
 begin to put the dread of thee and the 
 fear of thee upon the peoples that are 
 under the whole heaven, who shall 
 hear the report of thee, and shall 
 tremble, and be in anguish because 
 of thee. 
 
 26 And I sent messengers out of the 
 wilderness of Kedemotli unto Sihon 
 king of Heshbon with words of peace, 
 
 27 saying, Let me pass through thy land : 
 I will go 1 along by the high way, I 
 will neither turn unto the right hand 
 
 28 nor to the left. Thou shalt sell me food 
 for money, that I may eat; and give 
 me water for money, that I may drink : 
 only let me pass through on my feet ; 
 
 29 as the children of Esau which dwell in 
 Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in 
 Ar, did unto me ; until I shall pass over 
 Jordan into the land which the Lord 
 
 30 our God giveth us. But Sihon king of 
 Heshbon would not let us pass by him : 
 for the Lord thy God hardened his 
 spirit, and made his heart 2 obstinate, 
 that he might deliver him into thy 
 
 31 hand, as at this day. And the Lord 
 said unto me, Behold, I have begun to 
 deliver up Sihon and his land before 
 thee : begin to possess, that thou may- 
 
 32 est inherit his land. Then Sihon came 
 out against us, he and all his people, 
 
 33 unto battle at Jahaz. And the Lord 
 our God delivered him up before us; 
 and we smote him, and his 3 sons, and 
 
 34 all his people. And we took all his 
 cities at that time, and 4 utterly de- 
 stroyed every 5 inhabited city, with the 
 women and the little ones; we left 
 
 35 none remaining: only the cattle we 
 took for a prey unto ourselves, with 
 the spoil of the cities which we had 
 ! 36 taken. From Aroer, which is on the 
 edge of the valley of Arnon, and from 
 the city that is in the valley, even 
 unto Gilead, there was not a city 
 too high for us: the Lord our God 
 
 37 delivered up all before us : only to the 
 land of the children of Ammon thou 
 earnest not near; all the side of the 
 river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill 
 country, and wheresoever the Lord 
 our God forbad us. 
 
 3 Then we turned, and went up the 
 way to Baslian: and Og the king of 
 Bashan came out against us, he and 
 all his people, unto battle at Edrei. 
 
 2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him 
 not : for I have delivered him, and all 
 his people, and his land, into thy hand ; 
 and thou shalt do unto him as thou 
 didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, 
 
 3 which dwelt at Heshbon. So the Lord 
 our God delivered into our hand Og 
 also, the king of Bashan, and all his 
 people : and we smote him until none 
 
 4 was left to him remaining. And we 
 took all his cities at that time; there 
 was not a city which we took not from 
 them; threescore cities, all the region 
 of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 
 
 5 All these were cities fenced with high 
 walls, gates, and bars ; beside the 6 un- 
 
 6 walled towns a great many. And we 
 4 utterly destroyed them, as we did 
 unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly 
 destroying every 6 inhabited city, with 
 
 7 the women and the little ones. But 
 all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, 
 we took for a prey unto ourselves. 
 
 8 And we took the land at that time out 
 of the hand of the two kings of the 
 Amorites that were beyond Jordan, 
 from the valley of Arnon unto mount 
 
 9 Hermon ; [which Hermon the Sidonians 
 call Sirion, and the Amorites call it 
 
 lOSenir;) all the cities of the 7 plain, 
 and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto 
 Salecah and Edrei, cities of the king- 
 
 11 dom of Og in Bashan. (For only 
 Og king of Bashan remained of the 
 remnant of the Bephaim; behold, his 
 bedstead was a bedstead of iron ; is it 
 not in Babbah of the children of Am- 
 mon ? nine cubits was the length there- 
 of, and four cubits the breadth of it, 
 
 12 after the cubit of a man.) And this 
 land we took in possession at that time : 
 from Aroer, which is by the valley of 
 Arnon, and half the hill country of 
 Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I 
 unto the Beubenites and to the Gad- 
 
 13 ites: and the rest of Gilead, and all 
 Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I 
 unto the half tribe of Manasseh; 8 all 
 the region of Argob, 9 even all Ba- 
 shan. (The same is called the land of 
 
 14 Bephaim. Jair the son of Manasseh 
 took all the region of Argob, unto the 
 border of the Geshurites and the Ma- 
 acathites; and called them, even Ba- 
 shan, 10 after his own name, Havvoth- 
 
 15 jair, unto this day.) And I gave Gilead 
 
 16 unto Machir. And unto the Beuben- 
 ites and unto the Gadites I gave from 
 Gilead even unto the valley of Arnon,

 commanded me at that time to teach 
 
 
 
 and behold with thine eyes: for thou 
 
 you statutes and judgements, that ye 
 
 
 
 28shalt not go over this Jordan. But 
 
 might do them in the land whither ye 
 
 
 
 charge Joshua, and encourage him, 
 
 15 go over to possess it. Take ye there-

 which I teach you, for to do them;

 that ye may live, and go in and possess 
 
 the likeness of any winged fowl that 
 
 
 
 the land which the Lord, the God of

 Lord thy God hath divided unto all 
 the peoples under the whole heaven. 
 
 ‘20 But the Lord hath taken you, and 
 brought you forth out of the iron 
 furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto him 
 a j>eople of inheritance, as at this day. 
 
 21 Furthermore the Lord was angry with 
 me for your sakes, and sware that I 
 should not go over J ordan, and that I 
 should not go in unto that good land, 
 which the Lord thy God givetli thee 
 
 22 for an inheritance : but I must die in 
 this land, I must not go over Jordan : 
 but ye shall go over, and possess that 
 
 23 good land. Take heed unto yourselves, 
 lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord 
 your God, which he made with you, 
 and make you a graven image in the 
 form of any thing which the Lord thy 
 
 24 God hath forbidden thee. For the Lord 
 thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous 
 God. 
 
 25 When thou shalt beget children, and 
 children’s children, and ye shall have 
 been long in the land, and shall cor- 
 rupt yourselves, and make a graven 
 image in the form of any thing, and 
 shall do that which is evil in the sight 
 of the Lord thy God, to provoke him 
 
 26 to anger : I call heaven and earth to 
 witness against you this day, that ye 
 shall soon utterly perish from off the 
 land whereunto ye go over Jordan to 
 possess it ; ye shall not prolong your 
 days upon it, but shall utterly be 
 
 27 destroyed. And the Lord shall scatter 
 you among the peoples, and ye shall 
 be left few in number among the 
 nations, whither the Lord shall lead 
 
 28 you away. And there ye shall serve 
 gods, the work of men’s hands, wood 
 and stone, which neither see, nor hear, 
 
 29 nor eat, nor smell. But if from thence 
 ye shall seek the Lord thy God, thou 
 shalt find him, if thou search after him 
 with all thy heart and with all thy 
 
 30 soul. When thou art in tribulation, 
 and all these things are come upon 
 thee, Mn the latter days thou shalt 
 return to the Lord thy God, and 
 
 31 hearken unto his voice : for the Lord 
 thy God is a merciful God; he will 
 not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor 
 forget the covenant of thy fathers 
 
 32 which he sware unto them. For ask 
 now of the days that are past, which 
 were before thee, since the day that 
 God created man upon the earth, and 
 from the one end of heaven unto the 
 other, whether there hath been any such 
 thing as this great thing is, or hath 
 
 33 been heard like it? Did ever people 
 hear the voice of God speaking out of 
 the midst of the fire, as thou hast 
 
 34 heard, and live ? Or hath God assayed 
 to go and take him a nation from the 
 midst of another nation, by 2 tempta- 
 tions, by signs, and by wonders, and 
 by war, and by a mighty hand, and by 
 
 a stretched out arm, and by great 
 terrors, according to all that the Lord 
 your God did for you in Egypt before 
 
 35 your eyes? Unto thee it was shewed, 
 that thou mightest know that the Lord 
 he is God; there is none else beside 
 
 36 him. Out of heaven he made thee to 
 hear his voice, that he might instruct 
 thee : and upon earth he made thee to 
 see his great fire ; and thou heardest 
 his words out of the midst of the fire. 
 
 37 And because he loved thy fathers, 
 therefore he chose their seed after 
 them, and brought thee out with his 
 presence, with his great power, out 
 
 38 of Egypt; to drive out nations from 
 before thee greater and mightier than 
 thou, to bring thee in, to give thee 
 their land for an inheritance, as at 
 
 39 this day. Know therefore this day, 
 and lay it to thine heart, that the 
 Lord he is God in heaven above and 
 upon the earth beneath : there is none 
 
 40 else. And thou shalt keep his statutes, 
 and his commandments, which I com- 
 mand thee this day, that it may go 
 well with thee, and with thy children 
 after thee, and that thou mayest pro- 
 long thy days upon the land, which 
 the Lord thy God giveth thee, for 
 ever. 
 
 41 Then Moses separated three cities 
 beyond J ordan toward the sunrising ; 
 
 42 that the manslayer might flee thither, 
 which slayeth his neighbour unawares, 
 and hated him not in time past ; and 
 that fleeing unto one of these cities 
 
 43 he might live: namely, Bezer in the 
 wilderness, in the 3 plain country, for 
 the Reubenites ; and Ramotli in Gilead, 
 for the Gadites ; and Golan in Bashan, 
 for the Manassites. 
 
 44 And this is the law which Moses set 
 
 45 before the children of Israel: these 
 are the testimonies, and the statutes, 
 and the judgements, which Moses 
 spake unto the children of Israel, 
 when they came forth out of Egypt ; 
 
 46 beyond Jordan, in the valley over 
 against Beth-peor, in the land of Silion 
 king of the Amorites, who dwelt at 
 Heshbon, whom Moses and the child- 
 ren of Israel smote, when they came 
 
 47 forth out of Egypt : and they took his 
 land in possession, and the land of 
 Og king of Bashan, the two kings of 
 the Amorites, which were beyond Jor- 
 
 48 dan toward the sunrising ; from Aroer, 
 which is on the edge of the valley of 
 Arnon, even unto mount Sion (the 
 
 49 same is Hermon), and all the Arabali 
 beyond Jordan eastward, even unto 
 the sea of the Arabah, under the 
 4 slopes of Pisgah. 
 
 3 And Moses called unto all Israel, 
 and said unto them, Hear, O Israel,

 that ye may learn them, ancl observe 
 
 2 to do them. The Lord our God made 
 
 3 a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord 
 made not this covenant with our fathers, 
 but with us, even us, who are all of us 
 
 4 here alive this day. The Lord spake 
 with you face to face in the mount out 
 
 5 of the midst of the fire, (I stood be- 
 tween the Lord and you at that time, 
 to shew you the word of the Lord : for 
 ye' were afraid because of the fire, and 
 went not up into the mount ;) saying, 
 
 6 *1 am the Lord thy God, which 
 
 ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy 
 neighbour’s. 
 
 22 These words the Lord spake unto all 
 your assembly in the mount out of the 
 midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of 
 the thick darkness, with a great voice : 
 and he added no more. And he wrote 
 them upon tAvo tables of stone, and 
 
 23 gave them unto me. And it came to 
 pass, when ye heard the voice out of 
 the midst of the darkness, while the 
 mountain did burn with fire, that ye 
 came near unto me, even all the heads

 and upon the third and upon the 
 fourth generation of them that hate 
 10 me; and shewing mercy unto 4 thou- 
 
 have seen this day that God doth 
 
 25 speak with man, and he liveth. Now 
 therefore why should we die ? for this 
 great fire will consume us : if we hear 
 the voice of the Lord our God any 
 
 26 more, then we shall die. Eor who is 
 there of all flesh, that hath heard the 
 voice of the living God speaking out 
 of the midst of the fire, as we have, 
 
 27 and lived ? Go thou near, and hear all 
 that the Lord our God shall say : and 
 
 
 sands, of them that love me and keep

 11 Thou slialt not take the name of the 
 Lord thy God 5 in vain: for the Lord 
 
 our God shall speak unto thee; and 
 28 we will hear it, and do it. And the 
 Lord heard the voice of your words, 
 
 
 v amty 
 or false- 
 
 will not hold him guiltless that taketh 
 
 when ye spake unto me; and the 
 Lord said unto me, I have heard

 they have well said all that they have 
 29 spoken. 6 Oh that there were such an

 15 as thou. And thou shalt remember 
 
 the statutes,^ and the judgements, 
 
 &c. 
 
 [Ver. ]8 
 
 that thou wast a servant in the land 
 of Egypt, and the Lord thy God 
 brought thee out thence by a mighty 
 hand and by a stretched out arm: 
 therefore the Lord thy God com- 
 manded thee to keep the sabbath day. 
 
 16 Honour thy father and thy mother, 
 as the Lord thy God commanded thee : 
 that thy days may be long, and that 
 it may go well with thee, upon the 
 land which the Lord thy God givetli 
 thee. 
 
 17 Thou shalt do no murder. 
 
 18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 
 
 19 Neither shalt thou steal. 
 
 20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness 
 against thy neighbour. 
 
 21 Neither shalt thou covet thy neigh- 
 
 which thou shalt teach them, that 
 they may do them in the land which 
 321 give them to possess it. Ye shall 
 observe to do therefore as the Lord 
 your God hath commanded you: ye 
 shall not turn aside to the right hand 
 33 or to the left. Ye shall walk in all 
 the way which the Lord your God 
 hath commanded you, that ye may 
 live, and that it may be well with you, 
 and that ye may prolong your days in 
 the land which ye shall possess. 
 
 6 Now this is the commandment, the 
 statutes, and the judgements, which

 heart, My power and the might of 
 mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 
 
 IS But thou shalt remember the Lord thy 
 God, for it is he that giveth thee 
 power to get wealth; that he may 
 establish his covenant which he sware 
 
 19 unto tliy fathers, as at this day. And 
 it shall be, if thou shalt forget the 
 Lord thy God, and walk after other 
 gods, and serve them, and worship 
 them, I testify against you this day 
 
 20 that ye shall surely perish. As the 
 nations which the Lord maketh to 
 perish before you, so shall ye perish ; 
 because ye would not hearken unto 
 the voice of the Lord your God. 
 
 9 Hear, 0 Israel: thou art to pass 
 over Jordan this day, to go in to pos- 
 sess nations greater and mightier than 
 thyself, cities great and fenced up to 
 
 2 heaven, a people great and tall, the 
 sons of the Anakim, whom thou know- 
 est, and of whom thou hast heard say, 
 Who can stand before the sons of 
 
 3 Anak ? Know therefore this day, that 
 the Lord thy God is he which goetli 
 over before thee as a devouring fire ; 
 he shall destroy them, and he shall 
 bring them down before thee : so shalt 
 thou drive them out, and make them 
 to perish quickR, as the Lord hath 
 
 4 spoken unto thee. Speak not thou in 
 thine heart, after that the Lord thy 
 God hath thrust them out from before 
 thee, saying, For my righteousness the 
 Lord hath brought me in to possess 
 this land : whereas for the wickedness 
 of these nations the Lord doth drive 
 
 5 them out from before thee. Not for 
 thy righteousness, or for the upright- 
 ness of thine heart, dost thou go in to 
 possess their land : but for the wicked- 
 ness of these nations the Lord thy 
 God doth drive them out from before 
 thee, and that he may establish the 
 word which the Lord sware unto thy 
 fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to 
 
 6 Jacob. Know therefore, that the Lord 
 thy God giveth thee not this good land 
 to possess it for thy righteousness ; for 
 
 7 thou art a stiffnecked people. Remem- 
 ber, forget thou not, how thou provok- 
 edst the Lord thy God to wrath in the 
 wilderness: from the day that thou 
 wentest forth out of the land of Egypt, 
 until ye came unto this place, ye have 
 
 8 been rebellious against the Lord. Also 
 in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to 
 wrath, and the Lord was angry with 
 
 9 you to have destroyed you. When I 
 was gone up into the mount to receive 
 the tables of stone, even the tables of 
 the covenant which the Lord made 
 with you, then I abode in the mount 
 forty days and forty nights; I did 
 neither eat bread nor drink water. 
 
 10 And the Lord delivered unto me the 
 two tables of stone written with the 
 finger of God ; and on them teas ivritten 
 
 according to all the words, which the 
 Lord spake with you in the mount out 
 of the midst of the fire in the day of 
 
 lithe assembly. And it came to pass 
 at the end of forty days and forty 
 nights, that the Lord gave me the two 
 tables of stone, even the tables of the 
 
 12 covenant. And the Lord said unto 
 me, Arise, get thee down quickly from 
 hence ; for thy people which thou hast 
 brought forth out of Egypt have cor- 
 rupted themselves; they are quickly 
 turned aside out of the way which I 
 commanded them; they have made 
 
 13 them a molten image. Furthermore 
 the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have 
 seen this people, and, behold, it is a 
 
 14 stiffnecked people: let me alone, that 
 I may destroy them, and blot out their 
 name from under heaven : and I will 
 make of thee a nation mightier and 
 
 15 greater than they. So I turned and 
 came down from the mount, and the 
 mount burned with fire : and the two 
 tables of the covenant were in my two 
 
 16 hands. And I looked, and, behold, ye 
 had sinned against the Lord your God ; 
 ye had made you a molten calf : ye had 
 turned aside quickly out of the way 
 which the Lord had commanded you. 
 
 17 And I took hold of the two tables, and 
 cast them out of my two hands, and 
 
 18 brake them before your eyes. And I 
 fell down before the Lord, as at the 
 first, forty days and forty nights; I 
 did neither eat bread nor drink water ; 
 because of all your sin which ye 
 sinned, in doing that which was evil 
 in the sight of the Lord, to provoke 
 
 19 him to anger. For I was afraid of the 
 anger and hot displeasure, wherewith 
 the Lord was wroth against you to 
 destroy you. But the Lord hearkened 
 
 20 unto me that time also. And the Lord 
 was very angry with Aaron to have 
 destroyed him : and I prayed for Aaron 
 
 21 also the same time. And I took your 
 sin, the calf which ye had made, and 
 burnt it with fire, and stamped it, 
 grinding it very small, until it was as 
 fine as dust : and I cast the dust there- 
 of into the brook that descended out 
 
 22 of the mount. And at Taberah, and 
 at Massali, and at Kibroth-liattaavah, 
 
 23 ye provoked the Lord to wrath. And 
 when the Lord sent you from Kadesli- 
 barnea, saying, Go up and possess the 
 land which I have given you ; then ye 
 rebelled against the commandment of 
 the Lord your God, and ye believed 
 him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 
 
 24 Ye have been rebellious against the 
 Lord from the day that I knew you. 
 
 25 So I fell down before the Lord the 
 forty days and forty nights that I fell 
 down ; because the Lord had said he 
 
 26 would destroy you. And I prayed unto 
 the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy 
 not thy x^eople and thine inheritance,

 stubbornness of this people, nor to 
 
 the heaven of heavens, the earth, with 
 
 
 
 28 their wickedness, nor to their sin : lest 
 
 15 all that therein is. Only the Lord had 
 
 
 
 the land whence thou broughtest us 
 
 a delight in thy fathers to love them, 
 
 
 
 out say, Because the Lord was not 
 
 and he chose their seed after them,

 17 stiffnecked. For the Lord your God, 
 
 
 
 29 Yet they are thy people and thine in- 
 
 he is God of gods, and Lord of lords,

 the great God, the mighty, and the

 terrible, which regardeth not persons, 
 
 
 
 out arm. 
 
 18 nor taketh reward. He doth execute 
 
 
 
 10 At that time the Lord said unto me, 
 
 the judgement of the fatherless and 
 
 
 
 Hew thee two tables of stone like unto 
 
 widow, and loveth the stranger, in 
 
 
 
 the first, and come up unto me into 
 
 19 giving him food and raiment. Love 
 
 
 
 the mount, and make thee an ark of 
 
 ye therefore the stranger : for ye were

 20 strangers in the land of Egypt. Thou 
 
 
 
 the words that were on the first tables 
 
 shalt fear the Lord thy God; him 
 
 
 
 which thou brakest, and thou shalt put 
 
 shalt thou serve; and to him shalt 
 
 
 
 3 them in the ark. So I made an ark of 
 
 thou cleave, and by his name shalt 
 
 
 
 acacia wood, and hewed two tables of 
 
 21 thou swear. He is thy praise, and he 
 
 
 
 stone like unto the first, and went up

 into the mount, having the two tables 
 
 these great and terrible things, which

 22 thine eyes have seen. Thy fathers

 went down into Egypt with threescore

 of heaven for multitude. 
 
 
 
 of the assembly: and the Lord gave 
 
 11 Therefore thou shalt love the Lord 
 
 
 
 5 them unto me. And I turned and 
 
 thy God, and keep his charge, and his 
 
 
 
 came down from the mount, and put 
 
 statutes, and his judgements, and his 
 
 
 
 the tables in the ark which I had 
 
 2 commandments, alway. And know ye 
 
 
 
 made ; and there they be, as the Lord 
 
 this day: for I speak not with your 
 
 
 
 G commanded me. (And the children of

 that tliou mayest learn to fear the 
 
 24 Lord thy Gocl always. And if the 
 way be too long for thee, so that thou 
 art not able to carry it, because the 
 place is too far from thee, which the 
 Lord thy God shall choose to set his 
 name there, when the Lord thy God 
 
 25 shall bless thee : then shalt thou turn 
 it into money, and bind up the money 
 in thine hand, and shalt go unto the 
 place which the Lord thy God shall 
 
 26 choose: and thou shalt bestow the 
 money for whatsoever thy soul de- 
 siretli, for oxen, or for sheep, or for 
 wine, or for strong drink, or for what- 
 soever thy soul asketh of thee: and 
 thou shalt eat there before the Lord 
 thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou 
 
 27 and thine household: and the Levite 
 that is within thy gates, thou shalt 
 not forsake him ; for he hath no por- 
 tion nor inheritance with thee. 
 
 28 At the end of every three years thou 
 shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine 
 increase in the same year, and shalt 
 
 29 lay it up within thy gates: and the 
 Levite, because he hath no portion 
 nor inheritance with thee, and the 
 stranger, and the fatherless, and the 
 widow, which are within thy gates, 
 shall come, and shall eat and be satis- 
 fied; that the Lord thy God may 
 bless thee in all the work of thine 
 hand which thou doest. 
 
 15 At the end of every seven years thou 
 
 2 shalt make a release. And this is the 
 manner of the release : every creditor 
 shall release that which he hath lent 
 unto his neighbour ; he shall not 
 exact it of his neighbour and his 
 brother; because the Lord’s release 
 
 3 hath been proclaimed. Of a foreigner 
 thou mayest exact it : but whatsoever 
 of thine is with thy brother thine 
 
 4 hand shall 1 release. Howbeit there 
 shall be no poor with thee; (for the 
 Lord will surely bless thee in the 
 land which the Lord thy God givetli 
 thee for an inheritance to possess it ;) 
 
 5 if only thou diligently hearken unto 
 the voice of the Lord thy God, to 
 observe to do all this commandment 
 
 6 which I command thee this day. For 
 the Lord thy God will bless tliee, as 
 he promised thee : and thou shalt lend 
 unto many nations, but thou shalt 
 not borrow ; and thou shalt rule over 
 many nations, but they shall not rule 
 over thee. 
 
 7 If there be with thee a poor man, 
 one of thy brethren, within any of 
 thy gates in thy land which the Lord 
 thy God givetli thee, thou shalt not 
 harden thine heart, nor shut thine 
 
 8 hand from thy poor brother : but thou 
 shalt surely open thine hand unto him, 
 and shalt surely lend him sufficient 
 for his need in that which he wantetli. 
 
 9 Beware that there be not a base 
 
 thought in thine heart, saying, The 
 seventh year, the year of release, is at 
 hand; and thine eye be evil against 
 thy poor brother, and thou give him 
 nought; and he cry unto the Lord 
 against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 
 
 10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine 
 heart shall not be grieved when thou 
 givest unto him: because that for 
 this thing the Lord thy God shall 
 bless thee in all thy work, and in all 
 that thou puttest thine hand unto. 
 
 11 For the poor shall never cease out of 
 the land: therefore I command thee, 
 saying, Thou shalt surely open thine 
 hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, 
 and to thy poor, in thy land. 
 
 12 If thy brother, an Hebrew man, or 
 an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, 
 and serve thee six years ; then in the 
 seventh year thou shalt let him go 
 
 13 free from thee. And when thou lettest 
 him go free from thee, thou shalt not 
 
 14 let him go empty : thou shalt furnish 
 him liberally out of thy flock, and out 
 of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy 
 winepress : as the Lord thy God hath 
 blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. 
 
 15 And thou shalt remember that thou 
 wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, 
 and the Lord thy God redeemed thee : 
 therefore I command thee this thing 
 
 16 to-day. And it shall be, if he say 
 unto thee, I will not go out from thee ; 
 because he loveth thee and thine house, 
 
 17 because he is well with thee; then 
 thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it 
 through his ear unto the door, and he 
 shall be thy 2 servant for ever. And 
 also unto thy 3 maidservant thou shalt 
 
 18 do likewise. It shall not seem hard 
 unto thee, when thou lettest him go 
 free from thee; for to the double of 
 the hire of an hireling hath he served 
 thee six years : and the Lord thy God 
 shall bless thee in all that thou doest. 
 
 19 All the firstling males that are born 
 of thy herd and of thy flock thou 
 shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy 
 God: thou shalt do no work with the 
 firstling of thine ox, nor shear the 
 
 20 firstling of thy flock. Thou shalt eat 
 it before the Lord thy God year by 
 year in the place which the Lord 
 shall choose, thou and thy household. 
 
 21 And if it have any blemish, as if it he 
 lame or blind, any ill blemish whatso- 
 ever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto 
 
 22 the Lord thy God. Thou shalt eat it 
 within thy gates : the unclean and the 
 clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, 
 
 23 and as the hart. Only thou shalt not 
 eat the blood thereof ; thou shalt pour 
 it out upon the ground as water. 
 
 16 Observe the month of Abib, and keep 
 the passover unto the Lord thy God : 
 for in the month of Abib the Lord thy

 the judgement which they shall tell 
 thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not 
 turn aside from the sentence which 
 they shall shew thee, to the right 
 
 12 hand, nor to the left. And the man 
 that doeth presumptuously, in not 
 hearkening unto the priest that stand- 
 eth to minister there before the Lord 
 thy God, or unto the judge, even that 
 man shall die: and thou shalt put 
 
 13 away the evil from Israel. And all 
 the people shall hear, and fear, and do 
 no more presumptuously. 
 
 14 When thou art come unto the land 
 which the Lord thy God giveth thee, 
 and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell 
 therein; and shalt say, I will set a 
 king over me, like as all the nations 
 
 15 that are round about me; thou shalt 
 in any wise set him king over thee, 
 whom the Lord thy God shall choose : 
 one from among thy brethren shalt 
 thou set king over thee : thou mayest 
 not put a foreigner over thee, which 
 
 16 is not thy brother. Only he shall not 
 multiply horses to himself, nor cause 
 the people to return to Egypt, to the 
 end that he should multiply horses: 
 forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto 
 you, Ye shall henceforth return no 
 
 17 more that way. Neither shall he 
 multiply wives to himself, that his 
 heart turn not away: neither shall 
 he greatly multiply to himself silver 
 
 18 and gold. And it shall be, when he 
 sitteth upon the throne of his king- 
 dom, that he shall write him a copy 
 of this law in a book, out of that which 
 
 19 is before the priests the Levites : and 
 it shall be with him, and he shall read 
 therein all the days of his life : that he 
 may learn to fear the Lord his God, 
 to keep all the words of this law and 
 
 20 these statutes, to do them: that his 
 heart be not lifted up above his breth- 
 ren, and that he turn not aside from 
 the commandment, to the right hand, 
 or to the left : to the end that he may 
 prolong his days in his kingdom, he 
 and his children, in the midst of Is- 
 rael. 
 
 18 The priests the Levites, 1 even all the 
 
 tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor 
 inheritance with Israel : they shall eat 
 the offerings of the Lord made by fire, 
 
 2 and his inheritance. And they shall 
 have no inheritance among their breth- 
 ren : the Lord is their inheritance, as 
 
 3 he hath spoken unto them. And this 
 shall be the priests’ due from the peo- 
 ple, from them that otter a sacrifice, 
 whether it be ox or sheep, that they 
 shall give unto the priest the shoulder, 
 and the two cheeks, and the maw. 
 
 4 The firstfruits of thy corn, of thy wine, 
 and of thine oil, and the first of the 
 fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give 
 
 5 him. Eor the Lord thy God hath 
 chosen him out of all thy tribes, to 
 stand to minister in the name of the 
 Lord, him and his sons for ever. 
 
 6 And if a Levite come from any of 
 thy gates out of all Israel, where he 
 sojourneth, and come with all the 
 desire of his soul unto the place which 
 
 7 the Lord shall choose ; then he shall 
 minister in the name of the Lord 
 his God, as all his brethren the Le- 
 vites do, which stand there before the 
 
 8 Lord. They shall have like portions 
 to eat, beside that which cometh of 
 the sale of his patrimony. 
 
 9 When thou art come into the land 
 which the Lord thy God giveth thee, 
 thou shalt not learn to do after the 
 
 10 abominations of those nations. There 
 shall not be found with thee any one 
 that maketli his son or his daughter 
 to pass through the fire, one that 
 useth divination, one that practiseth 
 augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, 
 
 11 or a charmer, or a consulter with a 
 familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necro- 
 
 12mancer. Eor whosoever doeth these 
 things is an abomination unto the 
 Lord : and because of these abomin- 
 ations the Lord thy God doth drive 
 
 13 them out from before thee. Thou shalt 
 
 14 be perfect with the Lord thy God. For 
 these nations, which thou shalt pos- 
 sess, hearken unto them that practise 
 augury, and unto diviners : but as for 
 tliee, the Lord thy God hath not suf- 
 
 15fered thee so to do. The Lord thy 
 God will raise up unto thee a prophet 
 from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, 
 like unto me ; unto him ye shall heark- 
 
 16 en ; according to all that thou de- 
 siredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb 
 in the day of the assembly, saying, 
 Let me not hear again the voice of 
 the Lord my God, neither let me see 
 this great fire any more, that I die 
 
 17 not. And the Lord said unto me, 
 They have well said that which they 
 
 18 have spoken. I will raise them up a 
 prophet from among their brethren, 
 like unto thee; and I will put my 
 words in his mouth, and he shall speak 
 unto them all that I shall command 
 
 19 him. And it shall come to pass, that

 thee by the way as ye came forth out 
 
 18 of Egypt ; how he met thee by the 
 way, and smote the hindmost of thee, 
 all that were feeble behind thee, when 
 thou wast faint and weary; and he 
 
 19 feared not God. Therefore it shall 
 be, when the Lord thy God hath 
 given thee rest from all thine enemies 
 round about, in the land which the 
 Lord thy God giveth thee for an 
 inheritance to possess it, that thou 
 shalt blot out the remembrance of 
 Amalek from under heaven ; thou 
 shalt not forget. 
 
 26 And it shall be, when thou art come 
 in unto the land which the Lord thy 
 God giveth thee for an inheritance, 
 and possessest it, and dwellest therein ; 
 
 2 that thou shalt take of the first of all 
 the fruit of the ground, which thou 
 shalt bring in from thy land that the 
 Lord thy God giveth thee ; and thou 
 shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go 
 unto the place which the Lord thy 
 God shall choose to cause his name to 
 
 3 dwell there. And thou shalt come 
 unto the priest that shall be in those 
 days, and say unto him, I profess this 
 day unto the Lord thy God, that I am 
 come unto the land which the Lord 
 sware unto our fathers for to give us. 
 
 4 And the priest shall take, the basket 
 out of thine hand, and set it down 
 before the altar of the Lord thy God. 
 
 5 And thou shalt answer and say before 
 the Lord thy God, A 1 Syrian 2 ready 
 to perish was my father, and he went 
 down into Egypt, and sojourned there, 
 few in number ; and he became there 
 a nation, great, mighty, and populous : 
 
 band the Egyptians evil entreated us, 
 and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard 
 
 7 bondage : and we cried unto the Lord, 
 the God of our fathers, and the Lord 
 heard our voice, and saw our affliction, 
 
 8 and our toil, and our oppression : and 
 the Lord brought us forth out of 
 Egypt with a mighty hand, and with 
 an outstretched arm, and with great 
 terribleness, and with signs, and with 
 
 9 wonders : and he hath brought us into 
 this place, and hath given us this land, 
 a land flowing with milk and honey. 
 
 10 And now, behold, I have brought the 
 first of the fruit of the ground, which 
 thou, 0 Lord, hast given me. And 
 thou shalt set it down before the Lord 
 thy God, and worship before the Lord 
 
 11 thy God: and thou shalt rejoice in all 
 the good which the Lord thy God 
 hath given unto thee, and unto thine 
 house, thou, and the Levite, and the 
 stranger that is m the midst of thee. 
 
 1‘2 When thou hast made an end of tithing 
 all the tithe of thine increase in the 
 
 third year, which is the year of tithing, 
 then thou shalt give it unto the Levite, 
 to the stranger, to the fatherless, and 
 to the widow, that they may eat within 
 
 18 thy gates, and be filled; and thou shalt 
 say before the Lord thy God, I have 
 put away the hallowed things out of 
 mine house, and also have given them 
 unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, 
 to the fatherless, and to the widow, 
 according to all thy commandment 
 which thou hast commanded me: I 
 have not transgressed any of thy com- 
 mandments, neither have I forgotten 
 
 14 them : I have not eaten thereof in my 
 mourning, neither have I put away 
 thereof, being unclean, nor given there- 
 of for the dead : I have hearkened to 
 the voice of the Lord my God, I have 
 done according to all that thou hast 
 
 15 commanded me. Look down from thy 
 holy habitation, from heaven, and bless 
 thy people Israel, and the ground which 
 thou hast given us, as thou swarest 
 unto our fathers, a land flowing with 
 milk and honey. 
 
 16 This day the Lord thy God command- 
 eth thee to do these statutes and judge- 
 ments: thou shalt therefore keep and 
 do them with all thine heart, and with 
 
 17 all thy soul. Thou hast avouched the 
 Lord this day to be thy God, and that 
 thou sliouldest walk in his ways, and 
 keep his statutes, and his command- 
 ments, and his judgements, and heark- 
 
 18 en unto his voice : and the Lord hath 
 avouched thee this day to be a peculiar 
 people untohimself , as he hath promised 
 thee, and that thou shouldest keep all 
 
 19 his commandments ; and to make thee 
 high above all nations which he hath 
 made, 3 in praise, and in name, and in 
 honour; and that thou mayest be an 
 holy people unto the Lord thy God, 
 as he hath spoken. 
 
 27 And Moses and the elders of Israel 
 commanded the people, saying, Keep 
 all the commandment which I com- 
 
 2mand you this day. And it shall be 
 on the day when ye shall pass over 
 Jordan unto the land which the Lord 
 thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt 
 set thee- up great stones, and plaister 
 
 3 them with plaister: and thou shalt 
 write upon them all the words of this 
 law, when thou art passed over; that 
 thou mayest go in unto the land which 
 the Lord thy God giveth thee, a land 
 flowing with milk and honey, as the 
 Lord, the God of thy fathers, hath 
 
 4 promised thee. And it shall be when 
 ye are passed over Jordan, that ye 
 shall set up these stones, which I com- 
 mand you this day, in mount Ebal, 
 and thou shalt plaister them with 
 
 5 plaister. And there shalt thou build an 
 altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar 
 of stones: thou shalt lift up no iron

 altar of the Lord thy God of 1 unhewn 
 stones : and thou shalt offer burnt offer- 
 ings thereon unto the Lord thy God : 
 
 7 and thou shalt sacrifice peace offerings, 
 and shalt eat there; and thou shalt 
 
 8 rejoice before the Lord thy God. And 
 thou shalt write upon the stones all 
 the words of this lav/ very plainly. 
 
 9 And Moses and the priests the Levites 
 spake unto all Israel, saying, Keep si- 
 lence, and hearken, 0 Israel ; this day 
 thou art become the people of the Lord 
 
 10 thy God. Thou shalt therefore obey 
 the voice of the Lord thy God, and do 
 his commandments and his statutes, 
 which I command thee this day. 
 
 11 And Moses charged the people the 
 
 12 same day, saying, These shall stand 
 upon mount Gerizim to bless the peo- 
 ple, when ye are passed over Jordan; 
 Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and 
 Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 
 
 13 and these shall stand upon mount Ebal 
 for the curse ; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, 
 
 14 and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. And 
 the Levites shall answer, and say un- 
 to all the men of Israel with a loud 
 voice, 
 
 15 Cursed be the man that maketli a 
 graven or molten image, an abomina- 
 tion unto the Lord, the work of the 
 hands of the craftsman, and setteth it 
 up in secret. And all the people shall 
 answer and say, Amen. 
 
 16 Cursed be he that setteth light by his 
 father or his mother. And all the peo- 
 ple shall say, Amen. 
 
 17 Cursed be lie that removeth his neigh- 
 bour’s landmark. And all the peox>le 
 shall say, Amen. 
 
 18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind 
 to wander out of the way. And all the 
 people shall say, Amen. 
 
 19 Cursed be he that wresteth the judge- 
 ment of the stranger, fatherless, and 
 widow. And all the people shall say, 
 Amen. 
 
 20 Cursed be he that lieth with his fa- 
 ther’s wife; because he hath uncovered 
 his father’s skirt. And all the people 
 shall say, Amen. 
 
 21 Cursed be he that lieth with any 
 manner of beast. And all the people 
 shall say, Amen. 
 
 22 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, 
 the daughter of his father, or the daugh- 
 ter of his mother. And all the people 
 shall say, Amen. 
 
 23 Cursed be he that lieth with his 
 mother in law. And all the people 
 shall say, Amen. 
 
 24 Cursed be he that smiteth his neigh- 
 bour in secret. And all the people shall 
 say, Amen. 
 
 25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to 
 slay an innocent person. And all the 
 people shall say, Amen. 
 
 26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not the 
 
 words of this law to do them. And all 
 the people shall say, Amen. 
 
 28 And it shall come to pass, if thou 
 shalt hearken diligently unto the voice 
 of the Lord thy God, to observe to do 
 all his commandments which I com- 
 mand thee this day, that the Lord thy 
 God will set thee on high above ail 
 
 2 the nations of the earth : and all these 
 blessings shall come upon thee, and 
 overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken 
 unto the voice of the Lord thy God. 
 
 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and 
 
 4 blessed shalt thou be in the field. Bless- 
 ed shall be the fruit of thy body, and 
 the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit 
 of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, 
 
 5 and the young of thy flock. Blessed 
 shall be thy basket and thy kneading - 
 
 6 trough. Blessed shalt thou be when 
 thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou 
 
 7 be when thou goest out. The Lord 
 shall cause thine enemies that rise 
 up against thee to be smitten before 
 thee : they shall come out against thee 
 one way, and shall flee before thee 
 
 8 seven ways. The Lord shall com- 
 mand the blessing upon thee in thy 
 barns, and in all that thou puttest 
 thine hand unto; and he shall bless 
 thee in the land which the Lord thy 
 
 9 God giveth thee. The Lord shall 
 establish thee for an holy people unto 
 himself, as he hath sworn unto thee ; 
 if thou shalt keep the commandments 
 of the Lord thy God, and walk in his 
 
 10 ways. And all the peoples of the earth 
 shall see that thou art called by the 
 name of the Lord ; and they shall be 
 
 11 afraid of thee. And the Lord shall 
 make thee plenteous for good, in the 
 fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of 
 thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy 
 ground, in the land which the Lord 
 sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 
 
 12 The Lord shall open unto thee his 
 good 2 treasure the heaven to give the 
 rain of thy land in its season, and to 
 bless all the work of thine hand : and 
 thou shalt lend unto many nations, 
 
 13 and thou shalt not borrow. And the 
 Lord shall make thee the head, and 
 not the tail ; and thou shalt be above 
 only, and thou shalt not be beneath ; 
 if thou shalt hearken unto the com- 
 mandments of the Lord thy God, which 
 
 I command thee this day, to observe 
 
 14 and to do them ; and shalt not turn 
 aside from any of the words which I 
 command you this day, to the right 
 hand, or to the left, to go after other 
 gods to serve them. 
 
 15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt 
 not hearken unto the voice of the Lord 
 thy God, to observe to do all his com- 
 mandments and his statutes which I 
 command thee this day ; that all these 
 curses shall come upon thee, and over-

 And I will move them to jealousy 
 with those which are not a people ; 
 I will provoke them to anger with a 
 foolish nation. 
 
 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, 
 Andburneth unto the lowest 1 pit. 
 And devoureth the earth with her 
 increase, 
 
 And setteth on fire the foundations 
 of the mountains. 
 
 I will heap mischiefs upon them ; 
 
 I will spend mine arrows upon them : 
 They shall he wasted with hunger, 
 and devoured with 2 burning heat 
 And bitter destruction ; 
 
 And the teeth of beasts will I send 
 upon them, 
 
 With the poison of crawling things 
 of the dust. 
 
 Without shall the sword bereave, 
 And in the chambers terror; 
 
 It shall destroy both young man and 
 virgin, 
 
 The suckling with the man of gray 
 hairs. 
 
 I said, I would scatter them afar, 
 
 I would make the remembrance of 
 them to cease from among men : 
 Were it not that I feared the provoc- 
 ation of the enemy, 
 
 Lest their adversaries should mis- 
 deem, 
 
 Lest they should say, Our hand is 
 exalted, 
 
 And the Lord hath not done all this. 
 For they are a nation void of counsel, 
 And there is no understanding in 
 them. 
 
 Oh that they were wise, that they 
 understood this, 
 
 That they would consider their 
 latter end ! 
 
 How should one chase a thousand, 
 And two put ten thousand to flight, 
 Except their Rock had sold them, 
 And the Lord had delivered them 
 up? 
 
 For their rock is not as our Rock, 
 Even our enemies themselves being 
 judges. 
 
 F or their vine is of the vine of Sodom, 
 And of the fields of Gomorrah : 
 Their grapes are grapes of 3 gall, 
 Their clusters are bitter : 
 
 Their wine is the poison of dragons, 
 And the cruel venom of asps. 
 
 Is not this laid up in store with me, 
 Sealed up 4 among my treasures ? 
 Vengeance is mine, and recompence, 
 At the time when their foot shall slide: 
 For the day of their calamity is 
 at hand, 
 
 And the things that are to come upon 
 them shall make haste. 
 
 For the Lord shall judge his 
 people, 
 
 And repent himself for his servants ; 
 When he seetli that their power is 
 gone, 
 
 And there is none remaining , shut 
 up or left at large. 
 
 37 And he shall say, Where are their 
 
 gods, 
 
 The rock in which they 5 trusted ; 
 
 38 Which did eat the fat of their sacri- 
 
 fices, 
 
 And drank the wine of their drink 
 offering ? 
 
 Let them rise up and help you, 
 
 Let them be your protection. 
 
 39 See now that I, even I, am he, 
 
 And there is no god with me : 
 
 I kill, and I make alive ; 
 
 I have wounded, and I heal : 
 
 And there is none that can deliver 
 out of my hand. 
 
 40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, 
 
 And say, As I live for ever, 
 
 41 If I whet 6 my glittering sword, 
 
 And mine hand take hold on judge- 
 ment ; 
 
 I will render vengeance to mine 
 adversaries, 
 
 And will recompense them that 
 hate me. 
 
 42 I will make mine arrows drunk with 
 
 blood, 
 
 And my sword shall devour flesh ; 
 
 With the blood of the slain and the 
 captives, 
 
 7 From 8 the head of the leaders of the 
 enemy. 
 
 43 9 Rejoice, 0 10 ye nations, with his 
 
 people : 
 
 For he will avenge the blood of 
 his servants, 
 
 And will render vengeance to his 
 adversaries, 
 
 And will make expiation for his 
 land, for his people. 
 
 44 And Moses came and spake all the 
 words of this song in the ears of the 
 people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. 
 
 45 Ancf Moses made an end of speaking all 
 
 46 these words to all Israel : and he said 
 unto them, Set your heart unto all the 
 words which I testify unto you this 
 day; which ye shall command your 
 children, to observe to do all the words 
 
 47 of this law. For it is no vain thing 
 for you; because it is your life, and 
 through this thing ye shall prolong 
 your days upon the land, whither ye 
 go over Jordan to possess it. 
 
 48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that 
 
 49 selfsame day, saying, Get thee up into 
 this mountain of Abarim, unto mount 
 Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that 
 is over against Jericho; and behold the 
 land of Canaan, which I give unto the 
 
 50 children of Israel for a possession : and 
 die in the mount whither thou goest up, 
 and be gathered unto thy people ; as Aa- 
 ron thy brother died in mount Hor, and 
 
 51 was gathered unto his people : because

 10 Then Joshua commanded the officers 
 
 11 of the people, saying, Pass through the 
 midst of the camp, and command the 
 people, saying, Prepare you victuals; 
 for within three days ye are to pass 
 over this Jordan, to go in to possess 
 the land, which the Lord your God 
 givetli you to possess it. 
 
 12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gad- 
 ites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, 
 
 13 spake Joshua, saying, Remember the 
 word which Moses the servant of the 
 Lord commanded you, saying, The 
 Lord your God givetli you rest, and 
 
 14 will give you this land. Your wives, 
 your little ones, and your cattle, shall 
 abide in the land which Moses gave 
 you beyond Jordan; hut ye shall pass 
 over before your brethren armed, all 
 the mighty men of valour, and shall 
 
 15 help them , until the Lord have given 
 your brethren rest, as he hath given 
 you, and they also have possessed the 
 land which the Lord your God giveth 
 them: then ye shall return unto the 
 land of your possession, and possess it, 
 which Moses the servant of the Lord 
 gave you beyond Jordan toward the sun- 
 
 16 rising. And they answered Joshua, say- 
 ing, All that thou hast commanded us 
 we will do, and whithersoever thou 
 
 17 sendest us we will go. According as we 
 hearkened unto Moses in all things, so 
 will we hearken unto thee: only the 
 Lord thy God he with thee, as he was 
 
 18 with Moses. Whosoever he be that 
 shall rebel against thy commandment, 
 and shall not hearken unto thy words 
 in all that thou commandest him, he 
 shall he put to death : only he strong 
 and of a good courage. 
 
 2 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out 
 of Shittim two men as spies secretly, 
 saying, Go view the land, and Jericho. 
 And they went, and came into the 
 house of an harlot whose name was 
 2Raliab, and lay there. And it was 
 told the king of Jericho, saying, Be- 
 hold, there came men in hither to- 
 night of the children of Israel to 
 
 8 search out the land. And the king of 
 Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring 
 forth the men that are come to thee, 
 which are entered into thine house: 
 for they he come to search out all the 
 4 land. And the woman took the two 
 men, and hid them; and she said. 
 Yea, the men came unto me, hut I 
 
 5 wist not whence they were : and it 
 came to pass about the time of the 
 shutting of the gate, when it was dark, 
 that the men went out: whither the 
 men went I wot not: pursue after 
 them quickly; for ye shall overtake 
 
 6 them. But she had brought them up 
 to the roof, and hid them with the 
 stalks of flax, which she had laid in 
 
 7 order upon the roof. And the men 
 pursued after them the way to Jordan 
 unto the fords: and as soon as they 
 which pursued after them were gone 
 
 8 out, they shut the gate. And before 
 they were laid down, she came up 
 
 9 unto them upon the roof; and she 
 said unto the men, I know that the 
 Lord hath given you the land, and 
 that your terror is fallen upon us, and 
 that all the inhabitants of the land 
 
 10 melt, away before you. For we have 
 heard how the Lord dried up the 
 water of the Red Sea before you, when 
 ye came out of Egypt; and what ye 
 did unto the two kings of the Amorites, 
 that were beyond Jordan, unto Sihon 
 and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 
 
 11 And as soon as we had heard it, 
 our hearts did melt, neither did there 
 remain any more spirit in any man, 
 because of you : for the Lord your God, 
 he is God in heaven above, and on 
 
 12 earth beneath. Now therefore, I pray 
 you, swear unto me by the Lord, since 
 I have dealt kindly with you, that ye 
 also will deal kindly with my father’s 
 
 13 house, and give me a true token: and 
 that ye will save alive my father, and 
 my mother, and my brethren, and my 
 sisters, and all that they have, and will 
 
 14 deliver our lives from death. And the 
 men said unto her, Our life 2 for yours, 
 if ye utter not this our business ; and it 
 shall be, when the Lord giveth us the 
 land, that we will deal kindly and truly 
 
 15 with thee. Then she let them down 
 by a cord through the window: f oi- 
 lier house was upon the town wall, 
 
 16 and she dwelt upon the wall. And 
 she said unto them, Get you to the 
 mountain, lest the pursuers light upon 
 you; and hide yourselves there three 
 days, until the pursuers be returned: 
 and afterward may ye go your way. 
 
 17 And the men said unto her, We will 
 be guiltless of this thine oath which 
 
 18 thou hast made us to swear. Behold, 
 when we come into the land, thou 
 shalt bind this line of scarlet thread 
 in the window which thou didst let us 
 down by : and thou slialt gather unto 
 thee into the house thy father, and 
 thy mother, and thy brethren, and all 
 
 19 thy father’s household. And it shall 
 be, that whosoever shall go out of the 
 doors of thy house into the street, his 
 blood shall be upon his head, and we 
 will be guiltless : and whosoever shall 
 be with thee in the house, his blood

 of you to

 shall be oil our head, if any hand be 
 
 ‘20 upon him. But if thou utter this our 
 business, then we will be guiltless of 
 thine oath which thou hast made us to 
 
 21 swear. And she said, According unto 
 your words, so be it. And she sent 
 them away, and they departed: and 
 she bound the scarlet line in the 
 
 22 window. And they went, and came 
 unto the mountain, and abode there 
 three days, until the pursuers were 
 returned: and the pursuers sought 
 them throughout all the way, but found 
 
 23 them not. Then the two men returned, 
 and descended from the mountain, 
 and passed over, and came to Joshua 
 the son of Nun; and they told him all 
 
 24 that had befallen them. And they said 
 unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath 
 delivered into our hands all the land ; 
 and moreover all the inhabitants of 
 the land do melt away before us. 
 
 3 And Joshua rose up early in the morn- 
 ing, and they removed from Shittim, 
 and came to Jordan, he and all the 
 children of Israel; and they lodged 
 
 2 there before they passed over. And it 
 came to pass after three days, that the 
 officers went through the midst of the 
 
 3 camp ; and they commanded the people, 
 saying, When ye see the ark of the 
 covenant of the Lord your God, and 
 the priests the Levites bearing it, then 
 ye shall remove from your place, and 
 
 4 go after it. Yet there shall be a space 
 between you and it, about two thousand 
 cubits by measure : come not near unto 
 it, that ye may know the way by which 
 ye must go ; for ye have not passed this 
 
 5 way heretofore. And Joshua said unto 
 the people, Sanctify yourselves: for 
 to-morrow the Lord will do wonders 
 
 6 among you. And Joshua spake unto 
 the priests, saying, Take up the ark of 
 the covenant, and pass over before 
 the people. And they took up the ark 
 of the covenant, and went before the 
 
 7 people. And the Lord said unto Joshua, 
 This day will I begin to magnify thee 
 in the sight of all Israel, that they 
 may know that, as I was with Moses, 
 
 8 so I will be with thee. And thou slialt 
 command the priests that bear the ark 
 of the covenant, saying, When ye are 
 come to the brink of the waters of 
 Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. 
 
 9 And Joshua said unto the children 
 of Israel, Come hither, and hear the 
 
 10 words of the Lord your God. And 
 Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know 
 that the living God is among you, 
 and that he will without fail drive 
 out from before you the Canaanite, 
 and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and 
 the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and 
 
 lithe Amorite, and the Jebusite. Be- 
 hold, the ark of the covenant of the 
 Lord of all the earth passeth over 
 
 12 before you into Jordan. Now there- 
 
 fore take you twelve men out of the 
 tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man. 
 
 13 And it shall come to pass, when the 
 soles of the feet of the priests that 
 bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of 
 all the earth, shall rest in the waters 
 of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan 
 shall be cut off, even the waters that 
 come down from above ; and they 
 
 14 shall stand in one heap. And it came 
 to pass, when the people removed 
 from their tents, to pass over Jordan, 
 the priests that bare the ark of the 
 
 15 covenant being before the people ; and 
 when they that bare the ark were 
 come unto Jordan, and the feet of 
 the priests that bare the ark were 
 dipped in the brink of the water, (for 
 Jordan overfloweth all its banks all 
 
 16 the time of harvest,) that the waters 
 which came down from above stood, 
 and rose up in one heap, a great way 
 i-off, at Adam, the city that is beside 
 Zarethan: and those that went down 
 toward the sea of the 2 Arabali, even 
 the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off : and 
 the people passed over right against 
 
 17 Jericho. And the priests that bare 
 the ark of the covenant of the Lord 
 stood firm on dry ground in the midst 
 of Jordan, and all Israel passed over 
 on dry ground, until all the nation 
 were passed clean over Jordan. 
 
 4 And it came to pass, when all the 
 nation were clean passed over Jordan, 
 that the Lord spake unto Joshua, 
 
 2 saying, Take you twelve men out of 
 the people, out of every tribe a man, 
 
 3 and command ye them, saying, Take 
 you hence out of the midst of Jordan, 
 out of the place where the priests’ feet 
 stood firm, twelve stones, and carry 
 them over with you, and lay them 
 down in the lodging place, where ye 
 
 4 shall lodge this night. Then Joshua 
 called the twelve men, whom he had 
 prepared of the children of Israel, out 
 
 5 of every tribe a man: and Joshua said 
 unto them, Pass over before the ark 
 of the Lord your God into the midst 
 of Jordan, and take you up every man 
 of you a stone upon his shoulder, ac- 
 cording unto the number of the tribes 
 
 6 of the children of Israel: that this 
 may be a sign among you, that when 
 your children ask in time to come, 
 saying, What mean ye by these stones ? 
 
 7 then ye shall say unto them, Because 
 the waters of Jordan were cut off be- 
 fore the ark of the covenant of the 
 Lord; when it passed over Jordan, 
 the waters of Jordan were cut off : and 
 these stones shall be for a memorial 
 unto the children of Israel for ever. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel did so as 
 Joshua commanded, and took up twelve 
 stones out of the midst of Jordan, as 
 the Lord spake unto Joshua, accord- 
 ing to the number of the tribes of the

 children of Israel walked forty years

 in the wilderness, till all the nation,

 even the men of war which came forth

 they hearkened not unto the voice of

 17 up out of Jordan. Joshua therefore 
 
 their children, whom he raised up in 
 
 
 
 commanded the priests, saying, Come ye 
 
 their stead, them did Joshua circum- 
 
 
 
 18 up out of Jordan. And it came to pass, 
 
 cise : for they were uncircumcised, be- 
 
 
 
 when the priests that hare the ark of 
 
 cause they had not circumcised them

 8 by the way. And it came to pass, 
 
 
 
 out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles 
 
 when they had done circumcising all 
 
 
 
 of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto 
 
 the nation, that they abode in their

 And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, 
 and did worship, and said nnto him, 
 What saitli my lord nnto his servant ? 
 
 15 And the captain of the Lord’s host 
 said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe 
 from off thy foot ; for the place where- 
 on thou standest is holy. And Joshua 
 
 6 did so. (Now Jericho Gvas straitly 
 shut up because of the children of 
 Israel : none went out, and none came 
 
 2 in.) And the Lord said unto Joshua, 
 See, I have given into thine hand 
 Jericho, and the king thereof, and the 
 
 3 mighty men of valour. And ye shall 
 compass the city, all the men of war, 
 going about the city once. Thus shalt 
 
 4 thou do six days. And seven priests 
 shall bear seven 2 trumpets of rams’ 
 horns before the ark : and the seventh 
 day ye shall congpass the city seven 
 times, and the priests shall blow with 
 
 5 the trumpets. And it shall be, that 
 when they make a long blast with the 
 ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound 
 of the trumpet, all the people shall shout 
 with a great shout ; and the wall of the 
 city shall fall down 3 fiat, and the people 
 shall go up every man straight before 
 
 6 him. And Joshua the son of Nun 
 called the priests, and said unto them, 
 Take up the ark of the covenant, and 
 let seven priests bear seven trumpets 
 of rams’ horns before the ark of the 
 
 7 Lord. And 4 they said unto the people, 
 Pass on, and compass the city, and let 
 the armed men pass on before the ark 
 
 8 of the Lord. And it was so, that when 
 Joshua had spoken unto the people, the 
 seven priests bearing the seven trump- 
 ets of rams’ horns before the Lord 
 passed on, and blew with the trumpets : 
 and the ark of the covenant of the 
 
 9 Lord followed them. And the armed 
 men went before the priests that blew 
 the trumpets, and the rearward went 
 after the ark, the priests blowing with 
 
 10 the trumpets as they went. And Joshua 
 commanded the people, saying, Ye shall 
 not shout, nor let your voice be heard, 
 neither shall any word proceed out of 
 your mouth, until the day I bid you 
 
 11 shout; then shall ye shout. So he caused 
 the ark of the Lord to compass the city, 
 going about it once : and they came in- 
 to the camp, and lodged in the camp. 
 
 12 And Joshua rose early in the morn- 
 ing, and the priests took up the ark 
 
 13 of the Lord. And the seven priests 
 bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ 
 horns before the ark of the Lord 
 went on continually, and blew with the 
 trumpets: and the armed men went 
 before them ; and the rearward came 
 after the ark of the Lord, the priests 
 blowing with the trumpets as they 
 
 14 went. And the second day they com- 
 passed the city once, and returned into 
 
 15 the camp : so they did six days. And 
 it came to pass on the seventh day, 
 
 that they rose early at the dawning of 
 the day, and compassed the city after 
 the same manner seven tunes : only on 
 that day they compassed the city seven 
 
 16 times. And it came to pass at the 
 seventh time, when the priests blew 
 with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the 
 people, Shout ; for the Lord hath given 
 
 17 you the city. And the city shall be 
 6 devoted, even it and all that is there- 
 in, to the Lord : only Raliab the harlot 
 shall live, she and all that are with 
 her in the house, because she hid the 
 
 18 messengers that we sent. And ye, in 
 any wise keep yourselves from the 
 devoted thing, lest when ye have de- 
 voted it, ye take of the devoted thing ; 
 so should ye make the camp of Israel 
 
 19 6 accursed, and trouble it. But all the 
 silver, and gold, and vessels of brass 
 and iron, are holy unto the Lord : they 
 shall come into the treasury of the 
 
 20 Lord. So the people shouted, and the 
 priests blew with the trumpets ; and it 
 came to pass, when the people heard 
 the sound of the trumpet, that the 
 people shouted with a great shout, and 
 the wall fell down 3 flat, so that the 
 people went up into the city, every man 
 straight before him, and they took the 
 
 21 city. And they 7 utterly destroyed all 
 that was in the city, both man and 
 woman, both young and old, and ox, 
 and sheep, and ass, with the edge of 
 
 22 the sword. And Joshua said unto the 
 two men that had spied out the land, 
 Go into the harlot’s house, and bring 
 out thence the woman, and all that 
 
 23 she hath, as ye sware unto her. And 
 the young men the spies went in, and 
 brought out Rahab, and her father, 
 and her mother, and her brethren, 
 and all that she had, all her 8 kindred 
 also they brought out; and they set 
 them without the camp of Israel. 
 
 24 And they burnt the city with fire, and 
 all that was therein : only the silver, 
 and the gold, and the vessels of brass 
 and of iron, they put into the treasury 
 
 25 of the house of the Lord. But Raliab 
 the harlot, and her father’s household, 
 and all that she had, did Joshua save 
 alive; and she dwelt in the midst of 
 Israel, unto this day; because she 
 hid the messengers, which Joshua 
 
 26 sent to spy out Jericho. And Joshua 
 charged them with an oath at that 
 time, saying, Cursed be the man before 
 the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth 
 this city Jericho: with the loss of his 
 firstborn shall he lay the foundation 
 thereof, and with the loss of his young- 
 est son shall he set up the gates of it. 
 
 27 So the Lord was with Joshua; and 
 his fame was in all the land. 
 
 7 But the children of Israel com- 
 mitted a trespass in the devoted 
 thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, 
 the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah,

 done to Ai and her king ; and how the 
 
 was no day like that before it or after 
 
 
 
 inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace 
 
 it, that the Lord hearkened unto the

 voice of a man : for the Lord fought 
 
 
 
 they feared greatly, because Gibeon

 was a great city, as one of the royal

 of Jerusalem sent unto Holiam king 
 
 17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The 
 
 
 
 of Hebron, and unto Piram king of 
 
 five kings are found, hidden in the 
 
 
 
 Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of 
 
 18 cave at Makkedah. And Joshua said, 
 
 
 
 Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, 
 
 Boll great stones unto the mouth of

 the cave, and set men by it for to keep

 your enemies, and smite the hindmost

 king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, 
 
 hath delivered them into your hand.

 cliish, the king of Eglon, gathered 
 
 the children of Israel had made an 
 
 
 
 themselves together, and went up, 
 
 end of slaying them with a very great 
 
 
 
 they and all their hosts, and encamped 
 
 slaughter, till they were consumed, 
 
 
 
 against Gibeon, and made war against 
 
 and the remnant which remained of 
 
 
 
 6 it. And the men of Gibeon sent unto 
 
 them had entered into the fenced 
 
 
 
 Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying,

 Slack not thy hand from thy servants ; 
 
 the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in

 whetted. 
 
 
 Amorites that dwell in the hill country 
 
 said Joshua, Open the mouth of the

 cave, and bring forth those five kings 
 
 
 
 Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and 
 
 23 unto me out of the cave. And they did 
 
 
 
 all the people of war with him, and all 
 
 so, and brought forth those five kings

 unto him out of the cave, the king of 
 
 
 
 Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them 
 
 Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the 
 
 
 
 not: for I have delivered them into 
 
 king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, 
 
 
 
 thine hands; there shall not a man

 9 of them stand before thee. Joshua 
 
 when they brought forth those kings 
 
 
 
 therefore came upon them suddenly; 
 
 unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all 
 
 
 
 for he went up from Gilgal all the 
 
 the men of Israel, and said unto the 
 
 
 
 10 night. And the Lord discomfited 
 
 chiefs of the men of war which went 
 
 
 
 them before Israel, and he slew them 
 
 with him, Come near, put your feet 
 
 
 
 with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and 
 
 upon the necks of these kings. And 
 
 
 
 chased them by the way of the ascent 
 
 they came near, and put their feet 
 
 
 
 of Beth-lioron, and smote them to 
 
 25 upon the necks of them. And Joshua

 said unto them, Fear not, nor be dis- 
 
 
 
 came to pass, as they fled from before 
 
 mayed ; be strong and of good courage : 
 
 
 
 Israel, while they were in the going 
 
 for thus shall the Lord do to all your 
 
 
 
 down of Beth-horon, that the Lord 
 
 26 enemies against whom ye fight. And 
 
 
 
 cast down great stones from heaven 
 
 afterward Joshua smote them, and put 
 
 
 
 upon them unto Azekah, and they died : 
 
 them to death, and hanged them on 
 
 
 
 they were more which died with the 
 
 five trees : and they were hanging upon

 of Israel slew with the sword.

 now the Lord your God hath given rest

 29 suburbs; Jarmutli with her suburbs, 
 
 servant of the Lord gave you beyond 
 
 
 
 En-gannim with her suburbs; four

 30 cities. And out of the tribe of Asher, 
 
 the commandment and the law, which 
 
 
 
 Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with 
 
 Moses the servant of the Lord com- 
 
 
 
 31 her suburbs ; Helkath with her suburbs, 
 
 manded you, to love the Lord your God,

 and Hammotli-dor with her suburbs, 
 
 Joshua blessed them, and sent them 
 
 
 
 and Kartan with her suburbs; three 
 
 away : and they went unto their tents.

 beyond Jordan westward. Moreover 
 when Joshua sent them away unto 
 
 8 their tents, he blessed them, and spake 
 unto them, saying, Return with much 
 wealth unto your tents, and with very 
 much cattle, with silver, and with gold, 
 and with brass, and with iron, and with 
 very much raiment : divide the spoil of 
 your enemies with your brethren. 
 
 9 And the children of Reuben and the 
 children of Gad and the half tribe of 
 Manasseh returned, and departed from 
 the children of Israel out of Shiloh, 
 which is in the land of Canaan, to go 
 unto the land of Gilead, to the land of 
 their possession, whereof they were 
 possessed, according to the command- 
 ment of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 
 
 10 And when they came unto the region 
 about Jordan, that is in the land of 
 Canaan, the children of Reuben and the 
 children of Gad and the half tribe of 
 Manasseh built there an altar by Jor- 
 
 11 dan, a great altar to see to. And the 
 children of Israel heard say, Behold, 
 the children of Reuben and the children 
 of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh 
 have built an altar in the forefront of 
 the land of Canaan, in the region about 
 Jordan, on the side that pertainetli to 
 
 12 the children of Israel. And when the 
 children of Israel heard of it, the 
 whole congregation of the children of 
 Israel gathered themselves together at 
 Shiloh, to go up against them to war. 
 
 13 And the children of Israel sent unto 
 the children of Reuben, and to the 
 children of Gad, and to the half tribe 
 of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, 
 Phinelias the son of Eleazar the priest ; 
 
 14 and with him ten princes, one prince of 
 a fathers’ house for each of the tribes 
 of Israel; and they were every one 
 of them head of their fathers’ houses 
 
 15 among the 1 thousands of Israel. And 
 they came unto the children of Reu- 
 ben, and to the children of Gad, and 
 to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the 
 land of Gilead, and they spake with 
 
 16 them, saying, Thus saith the whole 
 congregation of the Lord, What tres- 
 pass is this that ye have committed 
 against the God of Israel, to turn away 
 this day from following the Lord, in 
 that ye have builded you an altar, to 
 
 17 rebel this day against the Lord? Is 
 the iniquity of Peor too little for us, 
 from which we have not cleansed our- 
 selves unto this day, although there 
 came a plague upon the congregation 
 
 18 of the Lord, that ye must turn away 
 this day from following the Lord.? 
 and it will be, seeing ye rebel to-day 
 against the Lord, that to-morrow he 
 will be wroth with the whole con- 
 
 19 gregation of Israel. Howbeit, if the 
 land of your possession be unclean, 
 then pass ye over unto the land of 
 the possession of the Lord, wherein 
 
 the Lord’s tabernacle dwelleth, and 
 take possession among us: but rebel 
 not against the Lord, nor rebel a- 
 gainst us, in building you an altar 
 besides the altar of the Lord our God. 
 
 20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah com- 
 mit a trespass in the devoted thing, 
 and wrath fell upon all the congrega- 
 tion of Israel ? and that man perished 
 not alone in his iniquity. 
 
 21 Then the children of Reuben and the 
 children of Gad and the half tribe of 
 Manasseh answered, and spake unto 
 the heads of the 1 thousands of Israel, 
 
 22 2 The Lord, the God of gods, the Lord, 
 the God of gods, he knoweth, and 
 Israel he shall know; if it be in re- 
 bellion, or if in trespass against the 
 
 23 Lord, (save thou us not this day,) that 
 we have built us an altar to turn away 
 from following the Lord ; or if to offer 
 thereon burnt offering or meal offer- 
 ing, or if to offer sacrifices of peace 
 offerings thereon, let the Lord himself 
 
 24 require it; and if we have not rather 
 out of carefulness done this, and of 
 purpose, saying, In time to come your 
 children might speak unto our child- 
 ren, saying, What have ye to do with 
 
 25 the Lord, the God of Israel ? for the 
 Lord hath made Jordan a border 
 between us and you, ye children of 
 Reuben and children of Gad ; ye have 
 no portion in the Lord : so shall your 
 children make our children cease from 
 
 26 fearing the Lord. Therefore we said, 
 Let us now prepare to build us an altar, 
 not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice : 
 
 27 but it shall be a witness between us 
 and you, and between our generations 
 after us, that we may do the service of 
 the Lord before him with our burnt 
 offerings, and with our sacrifices, and 
 with our peace offerings; that your 
 children may not say to our children 
 in time to come, Ye have no portion in 
 
 28 the Lord. Therefore said we, It shall 
 be, when they so say to us or to our 
 generations in time to come, that we 
 shall say, Behold the pattern of the 
 altar of the Lord, which our fathers 
 made, not for burnt offering, nor for 
 sacrifice; but it is a witness between 
 
 29 us and you. God forbid that we should 
 rebel against the Lord, and turn away 
 this day from following the Lord, to 
 build an altar for burnt offering, for 
 meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides 
 the altar of the Lord our God that is 
 before his tabernacle. 
 
 30 And when Phinelias the priest, and 
 the princes of the congregation, even 
 the heads of the thousands of Israel 
 which were with him, heard the words 
 that the children of Reuben and the 
 children of Gad and the children of 
 Manasseh spake, it pleased them well. 
 
 31 And Phinelias the son of Eleazar the 
 priest said unto the children of Reuben,

 nor cause to swear by them , neither

 8 selves unto them: but cleave unto 
 
 6 you out. And I brought your fathers 
 
 
 
 the Lord your God, as ye have done 
 
 out of Egypt: and ye came unto the

 Jordan; and they fought with yon : and 
 I gave them into your hand, and ye 
 possessed their land ; and I destroyed 
 9 them from before you. Then Balak 
 the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose 
 and fought against Israel ; and he sent 
 and called Balaam the son of Beor to 
 
 10 curse you: but I would not hearken 
 unto Balaam; therefore he blessed 
 you still : so I delivered you out of his 
 
 11 hand. And ye went over Jordan, and 
 came unto Jericho: and the men of 
 Jericho fought against you, the Amor- 
 ite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaan- 
 ite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, 
 the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I 
 
 12 delivered them into your hand. And 
 I sent the hornet before you, which 
 drave them out from before you, even 
 the two kings of the Amorites; not 
 with thy sword, nor with thy bow. 
 
 13 And I gave you a land whereon thou 
 hadst not laboured, and cities which 
 ye built not, and ye dwell therein; 
 of vineyards and oliveyards which ye 
 
 14 planted not do ye eat. Now therefore 
 fear the Lord, and serve him in sin- 
 cerity and in truth : and put away the 
 gods which your fathers served beyond 
 the River, and in Egypt ; and serve ye 
 
 15 the Lord. And if it seem evil unto 
 you to serve the Lord, choose you 
 this day whom ye will serve ; whether 
 the gods which your fathers Served 
 that were beyond the River, or the 
 gods of the Amorites, in whose land 
 ye dwell: but as for me and my 
 
 16 house, we will serve the Lord. And 
 the people answered and said, God 
 forbid that we should forsake the 
 
 17 Lord, to serve other gods; for the 
 Lord our God, he it is that brought us 
 and our fathers up out of the land of 
 Egypt, from the house of 1 bondage, 
 and that did those great signs in our 
 sight, and preserved us in all the way 
 wherein we went, and among all the 
 peoples through the midst of whom 
 
 18 we passed: and the Lord drave out 
 from before us all the peoples, even 
 the Amorites which dwelt in the land : 
 therefore we also will serve the Lord ; 
 
 19 for he is our God. And Joshua said 
 unto the people, Ye cannot serve the 
 Lord; for he is an holy God; he is 
 a jealous God; he will not forgive 
 
 20 your transgression nor your sins. If 
 ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange 
 gods, then he will turn and do you 
 evil, and consume you, after that he 
 
 21 hath done you good. And the people 
 
 ! said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will 
 
 22 serve the Lord. And Joshua said unto 
 the people, Ye are witnesses against 
 yourselves that ye have chosen you 
 the Lord, to serve him. And they said, 
 
 23 We are witnesses. Now therefore put 
 away, said he , the strange gods which 
 are among you, and incline your heart 
 unto the Lord, the God of Israel. 
 
 24 And the people said unto Joshua, The 
 Lord our God will we serve, and unto 
 
 25 his voice will we hearken. So Joshua 
 made a covenant with the people that 
 day, and set them a statute and an 
 ordinance in Shecliem. 
 
 26 And Joshua wrote these words in the 
 book of the law of God ; and he took a 
 great stone, and set it up there under 
 the oak that was 2 by the sanctuary of 
 
 27 the Lord. And Joshua said unto all 
 the people, Behold, this stone shall be 
 a witness against us ; for it hath heard 
 all the words of the Lord which he 
 spake unto us : it shall be therefore a 
 witness against you, lest ye deny your 
 
 28 God. So Joshua sent the people away, 
 every man unto his inheritance. 
 
 29 And it came to pass after these things, 
 that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant 
 of the Lord, died, being an hundred 
 
 30 and ten years old. And they buried 
 him in the border of his inheritance 
 in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill 
 country of Ephraim, on the north of the 
 
 31 mountain of Gaash. And Israel served 
 the Lord all the days of Joshua, and 
 all the days of the elders that outlived 
 Joshua, and had known all the work 
 of the Lord, that he had wrought for 
 
 32 Israel. And the bones of Joseph, which 
 the children of Israel brought up out 
 of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in 
 the parcel of ground 3 which Jacob 
 bought of the sons of Hamor the 
 father of Shechem for an hundred 
 pieces of money : and they became the 
 inheritance of the children of Joseph. 
 
 33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; 
 and they buried him in 4 the hill of 
 Phinehas his son, which was given 
 him in the hill country of Ephraim.

 1 And it came to pass after the death 
 of Joshua, that the children of Israel 
 asked of the Lord, saying, Who shall 
 go up for us first against the Canaan- 
 
 2 ites, to fight against them ? And the 
 Lord said, Judah shall go up : behold, 
 I have delivered the land into his hand. 
 
 3 And Judah said unto Simeon his 
 brother, Come up with me into my lot, 
 that we may fight against the Canaan- 
 ites ; and I likewise will go with thee 
 into thy lot. So Simeon went with 
 
 4 him. And Judah went up; and the 
 Lord delivered the Canaanites and the 
 Perizzites into their hand : and they 
 smote of them in Bezek ten thousand 
 
 5 men. And they found Adoni-bezek in 
 Bezek: and they fought against him, 
 and they smote the Canaanites and 
 
 6 the Perizzites. But Adoni-bezek fled ; 
 and they pursued after him, and caught 
 him, and cut off his thumbs and his 
 
 7 great toes. And Adoni-bezek said, 
 Threescore and ten kings, having their 
 thumbs and their great toes cut off, 
 gathered their meat under my table: 
 as I have done, so God hath requited 
 me. And they brought him to Jeru- 
 salem, and he died there. 
 
 8 And the children of Judah fought 
 against Jerusalem, and took it, and 
 smote it with the edge of the sword, 
 
 9 and set the city on fire. And afterward 
 the children of Judah went down to 
 fight against the Canaanites that dwelt 
 in the hill country, and in the South, 
 
 10 and in the lowland. 1 And Judah went 
 against the Canaanites that dwelt in 
 Hebron : (now the name of Hebron be- 
 foretime was Kiriath-arba:) and they 
 smote Slieshai, and Ahiman, and Tal- 
 
 11 mai. And from thence he went against 
 the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the 
 name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath- 
 
 12 sepher.) And Caleb said, He that 
 smitetli Kiriath sepher, and taketli it, 
 to him will I give Achsah my daughter 
 
 13 to wife. And Othniel the son of Kenaz, 
 Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and 
 he gave him Achsah his daughter to 
 
 14 wife. And it came to pass, when she 
 came unto him, that she moved him 
 to ask of her father a field: and she 
 lighted down from off her ass; and 
 Caleb said unto her, What wouldest 
 
 15 thou? And she said unto him, Give 
 me a 2 blessing; for that thou hast 
 
 3 set me in the land of the South, give 
 me also springs of water. And Caleb 
 gave her the upper springs and the 
 nether springs. 
 
 16 And the children of the Kenite, 
 Moses’ 4 brother in law, went up out 
 of 5 the city of palm trees with the 
 children of Judah into the wilderness of 
 Judah, which is in the south of Arad ; 
 and they went and dwelt with the 
 
 17 people. And Judah went with Simeon 
 liis brother, and they smote the Canaan- 
 ites that inhabited Zephatli, and 6 utter- 
 ly destroyed it. And the name of the 
 
 18 city was called 7 Hormali. Also Judah 
 took Gaza with the border thereof, and 
 Ashkelon with the border thereof, and 
 
 19 Ekron with the border thereof. And the 
 Lord was Avith Judah ; and he drave 
 out the inhabitants of the hill country; 
 for he could not drive out the inhabit- 
 ants of the valley, because they had 
 
 20 chariots of iron. And they gave Hebron 
 unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken : and 
 he drave out thence the three sons of 
 
 21Anak. And the children of Benjamin 
 did not drive out the Jebusites that 
 inhabited Jerusalem: but the Jebusites 
 dAvelt with the children of Benjamin 
 in Jerusalem, unto this day. 
 
 22 And the house of Joseph, they also 
 went up against Beth-el : and the 
 
 23 Lord was with them. And the house 
 of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. 
 (Now the name of the city bef ore- 
 
 24 time Avas Luz.) And the Avatcliers 
 saAv a man come forth out of the city, 
 and they said unto him, SheAv us, Ave 
 pray thee, the entrance into the city, 
 and Ave Avill deal kindly Avith thee. 
 
 25 And he sheAved them the entrance 
 into the city, and they smote the 
 city Avith the edge of the SAVord; but 
 they let the man go and all his family. 
 
 26 And the man Avent into the land of the 
 Hittites, and built a city, and called 
 the name thereof Luz: Avhich is the 
 name thereof unto this day. 
 
 27 And Manasseli did not drive out the 
 inhabitants of Betli-sliean and her 
 8 towns, nor of Taanach and her toAvns, 
 nor the inhabitants of Dor and her 
 toAvns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam 
 and her towns, nor the inhabitants of 
 Megiddo and her toAvns : but the 
 Canaanites would dwell in that land.

 go out as at other times, and shake 
 myself. But he wist not that the Lord 
 
 21 was departed from him. And the Phil- 
 istines laid hold on him, and put out 
 his eyes ; and they brought him down 
 to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of 
 brass ; and he did grind in the prison 
 
 22 house. Howbeit the hair of his head 
 began to grow again after he was 
 shaven. 
 
 23 And the lords of the Philistines 
 gathered them together for to offer a 
 great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, 
 and to rejoice: for they said, Our god 
 hath delivered Samson our enemy into 
 
 24 our hand. And when the people saw 
 him, they praised their god : for they 
 said, Our god hath delivered into our 
 hand our enemy, and the destroyer of 
 our country, which hath slain many of 
 
 25 us. And it came to pass, when tlieir 
 hearts were merry, that they said, Call 
 for Samson, that he may make us sport. 
 And they called for Samson out of the 
 prison house; and he made sport be- 
 fore them : and they set him between 
 
 26 the pillars. And Samson said unto the 
 lad that held him by the hand, Suffer 
 me that I may feel the pillars whereupon 
 the house resteth, that I may lean upon 
 
 27 them. Now the house was full of men 
 and women; and all the lords of the 
 Philistines were there ; and there were 
 upon the roof about three thousand men 
 and women, that beheld while Samson 
 
 28 made sport. And Samson called unto 
 the Lord, and said-, O Lord God, re- 
 member me, I pray thee, and strengthen 
 me, I pray thee, only this once, 0 God, 
 that I may l he at once avenged of the 
 
 29 Philistines for my two eyes. And Sam- 
 son took hold of the two middle pil- 
 lars upon which the house rested, and 
 leaned upon them, the one with his 
 right hand, and the other with his left. 
 
 30 And Samson said, Let me die with the 
 Philistines. And he bowed himself with 
 all his might ; and the house fell upon 
 the lords, and upon all the people that 
 were therein. So the dead which he 
 slew at his death were more than they 
 
 31 which he slew in his life. Then his 
 brethren and all the house of his fa- 
 ther came down, and took him, and 
 brought him up, and buried him be- 
 tween Zorah and Eshtaol in the bury- 
 ingplace of Manoah his father. And 
 he judged Israel twenty years. 
 
 17 And there was a man of the hill 
 country of Ephraim, whose name was 
 
 2 Micah. And he said unto his mother, 
 The eleven hundred pieces of silver 
 that were taken from thee, about which 
 thou didst utter 2 a curse, and didst 
 also speak it in mine ears, behold, the 
 silver is with me ; I took it. And his 
 mother said, Blessed be my son of the 
 
 3 Lord. And he restored the eleven 
 hundred pieces of silver to his mother, 
 
 and his mother said, I verily 3 dedicate 
 the silver unto the Lord from my hand 
 for my son, to make a graven image 
 and a molten image : now therefore I 
 
 4 will restore it unto thee. And when 
 he restored the money unto his mother, 
 his mother took two hundred pieces of 
 silver, and gave them to the founder, 
 who made thereof a graven image and 
 a molten image : and it was in the house 
 
 5 of Micah. And the man Micah had an 
 house of 4 gods, and he made an ephod, 
 and terapliim, and 5 consecrated one of 
 
 6 his sons, who became his priest. In 
 those days there was no king in Israel : 
 every man did that which was right in 
 his own eyes. 
 
 7 And there was a young man out of 
 Beth-leliem-judah, of the family of 
 Judah, who was a Levite, and he so- 
 
 8 journed there. And the man departed 
 out of the city, out of Beth-lehem-judali, 
 to sojourn where he could find a place : 
 and he came to the hill country of 
 Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he 
 
 9 journeyed. And Micah said unto him, 
 Whence comest thou ? And he said unto 
 him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem- 
 judali, and I go to sojourn where I 
 
 10 may find a place. And Micah said unto 
 him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a 
 father and a priest, and I will give thee 
 ten pieces of silver by the year, and a 
 suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So 
 
 lithe Levite went in. And the Levite 
 was content to dwell with the man; 
 and the young man w*as unto him as 
 
 12 one of his sons. And Micah conse- 
 crated the Levite, and the young man 
 became his priest, and was in the house 
 
 13 of Micah. Then said Micah, Now know 
 I that the Lord will do me good, seeing 
 I have a Levite to my priest. 
 
 18 In those days there was no king in 
 Israel : and in those days the tribe of 
 the Danites sought them an inherit- 
 ance to dwell in; for unto that day 
 their inheritance had not fallen unto 
 
 2 them among the tribes of Israel. And 
 the children of Dan sent of their 
 family five men from their whole 
 number, men of valour, from Zorah, 
 and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, 
 and to search it ; and they said unto 
 them, Go, search the land: and they 
 came to the hill country of Ephraim, 
 unto the house of Micah, and lodged 
 
 3 there. When they were by the house 
 of Micah, they knew the voice of the 
 young man the Levite : and they turned 
 aside thither, and said unto him, Who 
 brought thee hither? and what doest 
 thou in this place ? and what hast thou 
 
 4 here? And he said unto them, Thus 
 and thus hath Micah dealt with me, and 
 he hath hired me, and I am become his 
 
 5 priest. And they said unto him, Ask 
 counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we 
 may know whether our way which we

 6 go shall be prosperous. And the priest 
 said unto them, Go in peace: before 
 the Lord is your way wherein ye go. 
 
 7 Then the five men departed, and came 
 to Laish, and saw the people that were 
 therein, how they dwelt in security, 
 after the manner of the Zidonians, 
 quiet and secure ; for there was none 
 in the land, possessing 1 authority, 2 that 
 might put them to shame in any thing, 
 and they were far from the Zidonians, 
 and had no dealings with any man. 
 
 8 And they came unto their brethren to 
 Zorah andEshtaol: and their brethren 
 
 9 said unto them, What say ye? And 
 they said, Arise, and let us go up a- 
 gainst them : for we have seen the land, 
 and, behold, it is very good : and are ye 
 still ? be not slothful to go and to enter 
 
 10 in to possess the land. When ye go, ye 
 shall come unto a people secure, and the 
 land is large : for God hath given it into 
 your hand ; a place where there is no 
 want of any thing that is in the earth. 
 
 11 And there set forth from thence 
 of the family of the Danites, out of 
 Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hund- 
 red men girt with weapons of war. 
 
 12 And they went up, and encamped in 
 Kiriath- j earim, in Judah: wherefore 
 they called that place 3 Mahaneli-dan, 
 unto this day : behold, it is behind Kir- 
 
 13 lath- j earim. And they passed thence 
 unto the hill country of Ephraim, and 
 
 14 came unto the house of Micah. Then 
 answered the five men that went to 
 spy out the country of Laish, and said 
 unto their brethren, Do ye know that 
 there is in these houses an epliod, and 
 terapliim, and a graven image, and a 
 molten image ? now therefore consider 
 
 15 wliat ye have to do. And they turned 
 aside thither, and came to the house 
 of the young man the Levite, even unto 
 the house of Micah, and asked him of 
 
 16 his welfare. And the six hundred men 
 girt with their weapons of war, who 
 were of the children of Dan, stood by 
 
 17 the entering of the gate. And the five 
 men that went to spy out the land went 
 up, and came in thither, and took the 
 graven image, and the epliod, and the 
 teraphim, and the molten image : and 
 the priest stood by the entering of the 
 gate with the six hundred men girt 
 
 18 with weapons of war. And when these 
 went into Micali’ s house, and fetched 
 the graven image, the ephod, and the 
 teraphim, and the molten image, the 
 priest said unto them, What do ye? 
 
 19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, 
 lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and 
 go with us, and be to us a father and a 
 priest : is it better for thee to be priest 
 unto the house of one man, or to be 
 priest unto a tribe and a family in 
 
 20 Israel ? And the priest’s heart was glad, 
 and he took the ephod, and the teraph- 
 im, and the graven image, and went 
 
 21 in the midst of the people. So they 
 turned and departed, and put the little 
 ones and the cattle and the goods before 
 
 22 them. When they were a good way 
 from the house of Micah, the men that 
 were in the houses near to Micah’s house 
 were gathered together, and overtook 
 
 23 the children of Dan. And they cried 
 unto the children of Dan. And they 
 turned their faces, and said unto Micah, 
 What aileth thee, 4 that thou comest 
 
 24 with such a company ? And he said, Ye 
 have taken away my gods which I made, 
 and the priest, and are gone away, and 
 what have I more ? and how then say ye 
 
 25 unto me, What aileth thee ? And the 
 children of Dan said unto him, Let not 
 thy voice be heard among us, lest 5 angry 
 fellows fall upon you, and thou lose thy 
 life, with the lives of thy household. 
 
 26 And the children of Dan went their 
 way : and when Micah saw that they 
 were too strong for him, he turned and 
 
 27 went back unto his house. And they 
 took that which Micah had made, and 
 the priest which he had, and came unto 
 Laish, unto a people quiet and secure, 
 and smote them with the edge of the 
 sword; and they burnt the city with 
 
 28 fire. And there was no deliverer, be- 
 cause it was far from Zidon, and they 
 had no dealings with any man ; and it 
 was in the valley that lieth by Betli- 
 rehob. And they built the city, and 
 
 29 dwelt therein. And they called the 
 name of the city Dan, after the name 
 of Dan their father, who was born unto 
 Israel: kowbeit the name of the city 
 
 30 was Laish at the first. And the child- 
 ren of Dan set up for themselves the 
 graven image: and Jonathan, the son 
 of Gershom, the son of 6 Moses, he 
 and his sons were priests to the tribe 
 of the Danites until the day of the cap- 
 
 31 tivity of the land. So they set them up 
 Micah’s graven image which he made, 
 all the time that the house of God was 
 in Shiloh. 
 
 19 And it came to pass in those days, 
 when there was no king in Israel, 
 that there was a certain Levite so- 
 journing on the farther side of the hill 
 country of Ephraim, who took to him 
 a concubine out of Beth Jehem- j udali. 
 
 2 And his concubine played the harlot 
 against him, and went away from him 
 unto her father’s house to Betli-lehem- 
 j udali, and was there the space of four 
 
 3 months. And her husband arose, and 
 went after her, to speak 7 kindly unto 
 her, to bring 8 her again, having his 
 servant with him, and a couple of asses : 
 and she brought him into her father’s 
 house : and when the father of the dam- 
 sel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 
 
 4 And liis father in law, the damsel’s fa- 
 ther, retained him ; and he abode with 
 him three days : so they did eat and 
 
 5 drink, and lodged there. And it came

 catch you every man his wife of the

 each man of them his wife in battle: 
 neither did ye give them unto them; 
 
 23 else would ye now be guilty. And the 
 children of Benjamin did so, and took 
 them wives, according to their number, 
 of them that danced, whom they carried 
 off : and they went and returned unto 
 their inheritance, and built the cities, 
 
 24 and dwelt in them. And the children 
 of Israel departed thence at that time, 
 every man to his tribe and to his 
 family, and they went out from thence 
 
 25 every man to his inheritance. In those 
 days there was no king in Israel: 
 every man did that which was right 
 in his own eyes.

 Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moab-

 which returned out of the country of

 in the beginning of barley harvest. 
 
 2 And Naomi had a kinsman of her 
 husband’s, a mighty man of 1 wealth, of 
 the family of Eliinelech ; and his name 
 
 2 was Boaz. And Ruth the Moabitess 
 said unto Naomi, Let me now go to 
 the field, and glean among the ears of 
 com after him in whose sight I shall 
 find grace. And she said unto her, Go, 
 
 3 my daughter. And she went, and came 
 and gleaned in the field after the reap- 
 ers : and her hap was to light on the 
 portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, 
 who was of the family of Elimelecli. 
 
 4 And, behold, Boaz came from Beth- 
 lehem, and said unto the reapers, The 
 Lord be with you. And they answered 
 
 5 him, The Lord bless thee. Then said 
 Boaz unto his servant that was set 
 over the reapers, Whose damsel is 
 
 6 this ? And the servant that was set over 
 the reapers answered and said, It is 
 the Moabitish damsel that came back 
 with Naomi out of the country of 
 
 7 Moab : and she said, Let me glean, I 
 pray you, and gather after the reapers 
 among the sheaves : so she came, and 
 hath continued even from the morning 
 until now, save that she tarried a little 
 
 Sin the house. Then said Boaz unto 
 Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter ? 
 Go not to glean in another field, neither 
 pass from hence, but abide here fast 
 
 9 by my maidens. Let thine eyes be on 
 the field that they do reap, and go 
 thou after them: have I not charged 
 the young men that they shall not touch 
 thee? and when thou art athirst, go 
 unto the vessels, and drink of that 
 which the young men have drawn. 
 
 10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed 
 herself to the ground, and said unto 
 him, Why have I found grace in thy 
 sight, that thou shouldest take know- 
 ledge of me, seeing I am a stranger ? 
 
 11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, 
 It hath fully been shewed me, all that 
 thou hast done unto thy mother in law 
 since the death of thine husband : and 
 how thou hast left thy father and thy 
 mother, and the land of thy nativity, 
 and art come unto a people which thou 
 
 12 knewest not heretofore. The Lord re- 
 compense thy work, and a full reward 
 be given thee of the Lord, the God of 
 Israel, under whose wings thou art 
 
 13 come to take refuge. Then she said, 
 Let me find grace in thy sight, my 
 lord ; for that thou hast comforted me, 
 and for that thou hast spoken 2 kindly 
 unto thine handmaid, though I be not 
 
 14 as one of thine handmaidens. And at 
 meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come 
 hither, and eat of the bread, and dip 
 thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat 
 
 beside the reapers : and 3 they reached 
 her parched corn, and she did eat, 
 
 15 and was sufficed, and left thereof. And 
 when she was risen up to glean, Boaz 
 commanded his young men, saying, 
 Let her glean even among the sheaves, 
 
 16 and reproach her not. And also pull 
 out some for her from the bundles, and 
 leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke 
 
 17 her not. So she gleaned in the field 
 until even ; and she beat out that she 
 had gleaned, and it was about an 
 
 18 ephah of barley. And she took it up, 
 and went into the city : and her mother 
 in law saw what she had gleaned : and 
 she brought forth and gave to her that 
 
 19 she had left after she was sufficed. And 
 her mother in law said unto her, Where 
 hast thou gleaned to-day? and where 
 wroughtest thou? blessed be he that 
 did take knowledge of thee. And she 
 shewed her mother in law with whom 
 she had wrought, and said, The mail’s 
 name with whom I wrought to-day 
 
 20 is Boaz. And Naomi said unto her 
 daughter in law, Blessed be he of the 
 Lord, who hath not left oft his kind- 
 ness to the living and to the dead. 
 And Naomi said unto her* The man is 
 nigh of kin unto us, 4 one of our near 
 
 21 kinsmen. And Ruth the Moabitess 
 said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt 
 keep fast by my young men, until they 
 
 22 have ended all my harvest. And Naomi 
 said unto Ruth her daughter in law, 
 It is good, my daughter, that thou go 
 out with liis maidens, and that they 
 
 23 meet thee not in any other field. So 
 she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz 
 to glean unto the end of barley harvest 
 and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt 
 with her mother in law. 
 
 3 And Naomi her mother in law said 
 imto her, My daughter, shall I not 
 seek 5 rest for thee, that it may be well 
 
 2 with thee ? And now is there not Boaz 
 our kinsman, with whose maidens thou 
 wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley 
 
 3 to-night in the threshing-floor. Wash 
 thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and 
 put thy raiment upon thee, and get 
 thee down to the threshing-floor : but 
 make not thyself known unto the man, 
 until he shall have done eating ancl 
 
 4 drinking. And it shall be, when he 
 lieth down, that thou shalt mark the 
 place where he shall lie, and thou 
 shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and 
 lay thee down; and he will tell thee 
 
 5 what thou shalt do. And she said 
 unto her, All that thou 6 sayest I will 
 
 6 do. And she went down unto the 
 threshing-floor, and did according to 
 all that her mother in law bade her. 
 
 7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, 
 and his heart was merry, he went 
 to lie down at the end of the heap 
 of corn: and she came softly, and 
 uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

THE 
 
 FIRST BOOK OF SAMUEL. 
 
 1 Now there was a certain man of 
 Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill country 
 of Ephraim, and his name was Elka- 
 nah, the son of Jeroham, the son of 
 Elihu, the son of Toliu, the son of 
 
 2 Zuph, an Epliraimite : and he had two 
 wives ; the name of the one was 
 Hannah, and the name of the other 
 Peninnah : and Peninnah had children, 
 
 3 but Hannah had no children. And 
 this man went up out of his city from 
 year to year to worship and to sacri- 
 fice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. 
 And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and 
 Phinehas, priests unto the Lord, were 
 
 4 there. And when the day came that 
 Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Penin- 
 nah his wife, and to all her sons and her 
 
 5 daughters, portions : but unto Hannah 
 he gave 1 a double portion : for he loved 
 Hannah, but the Lord had shut up her 
 
 6 womb. And her rival provoked her 
 sore, for to make her fret, because 
 
 7 the Lord had shut up her womb. And 
 as he did so year by year, when she went 
 up to the house of the Lord, so she 
 provoked her ; therefore she wept, and 
 
 8 did not eat. And Elkanah her husband 
 said unto her, Hannah, why weepest 
 thou ? and why eatest thou not ? and 
 why is thy heart grieved? am not I 
 
 9 better to thee than ten sons? So 
 Hannah rose up after they had eaten 
 in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. 
 Now Eli the priest sat upon his seat by 
 the door post of the temple of the Lord. 
 
 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, 
 and prayed unto the Lord, and wept 
 
 11 sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, 0 
 Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look 
 on the affliction of thine handmaid, 
 and remember me, and not forget thine 
 handmaid, but wilt give unto thine 
 handmaid 2 a man child, then I will 
 give him unto the Lord all the days of 
 his life, and there shall no razor come 
 
 12 upon his head. And it came to pass, 
 as she continued praying before the 
 Lord, that Eli marked her mouth. 
 
 13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; 
 only her lips moved, but her voice was 
 not heard : therefore Eli thought she 
 
 14 had been drunken. And Eli said unto 
 her, How long wilt thou be drunken ? 
 
 15 put away thy wine from thee. And 
 Hannah answered and said, No, my 
 lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful 
 
 spirit : I have drunk neither wine nor 
 strong drink, but I poured out my 
 
 16 soul before the Lord. Count not thine 
 handmaid for 3 a daughter of 4 Belial : for 
 out of the abundance of my complaint 
 and my provocation have I spoken 
 
 17 hitherto. Then Eli answered and said, 
 Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant 
 thy petition that thou hast asked of 
 
 18 him. And she said, Let thy servant 
 find grace in thy sight. So the woman 
 went her way, and did eat, and her 
 
 19 countenance was no more And they 
 
 rose up in the morning early, and wor- 
 shipped before the Lord, and returned, 
 and came to their house to Ramali: 
 and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife ; 
 
 20 and the Lord remembered her. And 
 it came to pass, when the time was 
 come about, that Hannah conceived, 
 and bare a son; and she called his 
 name Samuel, saying , Because I have 
 
 21 asked him of the Lord. And the man 
 Elkanah, and all his house, went up 
 to offer unto the Lord the yearly 
 
 22 sacrifice, and his vow. But Hannah 
 went not up; for she said unto her 
 husband, I will not go up until the 
 child be weaned, and then I will bring 
 him, that he may appear before the 
 
 23 Lord, and there abide for ever. And 
 Elkanah her husband said unto her, 
 Do what seemeth thee good; tarry 
 until thou have weaned him; only 
 the Lord establish his word. So the 
 woman tarried and gave her son suck, 
 
 24 until she weaned him. And when she 
 had weaned him, she took him up 
 with her, with 5 three bullocks, and 
 one ephah of meal, and a 6 bottle 
 of wine, and brought him unto the 
 house of the Lord in Shiloh : and the 
 
 25 child was young. And they slew the 
 bullock, and brought the child to Eli. 
 
 26 And she said, Oil my lord, as thy 
 soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman 
 that stood by thee here, praying unto 
 
 27 the Lord. For this child I prayed; 
 and the Lord hath given me my 
 
 28 petition which I asked of him : there- 
 fore I also have 7 granted him to the 
 Lord ; as long as he liveth he is 
 granted to the Lord. And 8 he wor- 
 shipped the Lord there. 
 
 2 And Hannah prayed, and said : 
 
 My heart exulteth in the Lord, 
 
 Mine horn is exalted in the Lord :

 which is in mine heart and in my mind : 
 and I will build him a sure house ; and 
 he shall walk before mine anointed for 
 
 36 ever. And it shall come to pass, that 
 every one that is left in thine house 
 shall come and bow down to him for 
 a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, 
 and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, 
 into one of the priests’ offices, that I 
 may eat a morsel of bread. 
 
 3 And the child Samuel ministered unto 
 the Lord before Eli. And the word of 
 the Lord was 4 precious in those days; 
 
 2 there was no 5 open vision. And it 
 came to pass at that time, when Eli 
 was laid down in his place, (now his 
 eyes had begun to wax dim, that he 
 
 3 could not see,) and the lamp of God 
 was not yet gone out, and Samuel 
 was laid down to sleep , in the temple 
 of the Lord, where the ark of God 
 
 4 was; that the Lord called Samuel: 
 
 5 and he said, Here am I. And he ran 
 unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for 
 thou calledst me. And he said, I 
 called not; lie down again. And he 
 
 6 went and lay down. And the Lord 
 called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel 
 arose and went to Eli, and said, Here 
 am I ; for thou calledst me. And he 
 answered, I called not, my son; lie 
 
 7 down again. Now Samuel did not yet 
 know the Lord, neither was the word 
 of the Lord yet revealed unto him. 
 
 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the 
 third time. And he arose and went 
 to Eli, and said, Here am I ; for thou 
 calledst me. And Eli perceived that the 
 
 9 Lord had called the child. Therefore 
 Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: 
 and it shall be, if he call thee, that 
 thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy 
 servant heareth. So Samuel went and 
 
 10 lay down in his place. And the Lord 
 came, and stood, and called as at other 
 times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel 
 said, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 
 
 11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, 
 I will do a thing in Israel, at which 
 both the ears of every one that heareth 
 
 12 it shall tingle. In that day I will per- 
 form against Eli all that I have spoken 
 concerning his house, from the begin- 
 
 13ning even unto the end. For I have 
 told him that I will judge his house 
 for ever, for the iniquity which he 
 knew, because his sons 6 did bring a 
 curse upon themselves, and he re- 
 
 14 strained them not. And therefore I 
 have sworn unto the house of Eli, 
 that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall 
 not be 7 purged with sacrifice nor off er- 
 
 15ing for ever. And Samuel lay until 
 the morning, and opened the doors of 
 the house of the Lord. And Samuel 
 
 16 feared to shew Eli the vision. Then 
 Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, 
 my son. And he said, Here am I. 
 
 17 And he said, What is the thing that 
 the Lord hath spoken unto thee? I 
 pray thee hide it not from me: God 
 do so to thee, and more also, if thou 
 hide any thing from me of all the 
 
 18 things that he spake unto thee. And 
 Samuel told him every whit, and hid 
 nothing from him. And he said, It 
 is the Lord : let him do what seemetli 
 
 19 him good. And Samuel grew, and the 
 Lord was with him, and did let none 
 
 20 of his words fall to the ground. And 
 all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba 
 knew that Samuel was established to be 
 
 21 a prophet of the Lord. And the Lord 
 appeared again in Shiloh : for the Lord 
 revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh 
 
 4 by the word of the Lord. And the 
 word of Samuel came to all Israel. 
 
 Now Israel went out against the 
 Philistines to battle, and pitched be- 
 side 8 Eben-ezer: and the Philistines 
 
 2 pitched in Aphek. And the Philistines 
 put themselves in array against Is- 
 rael: and when 9 they joined battle, 
 Israel was smitten before the Philis- 
 tines: and they slew of the 10 army in 
 the field about four thousand men. 
 
 3 And when the people were come into the 
 camp, the elders of Israel said, Where- 
 fore hath the Lord smitten us to-day 
 before the Philistines? Let us fetch 
 the ark of the covenant of the Lord out 
 of Shiloh unto us, that it may come 
 among us, and save us out of the hand 
 
 4 of our enemies. So the people sent to 
 Shiloh, and they brought from thence 
 the ark of the covenant of the Lord of 
 hosts, which 11 sittetli upon the cherub- 
 im: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni 
 and Pliinehas, were there with the 
 
 5 ark of the covenant of God. And when 
 the ark of the covenant of the Lord 
 came into the camp, all Israel shouted 
 with a great shout, so that the earth 
 
 6 rang again. And when the Philistines 
 heard the noise of the shout, they said, 
 What meaneth the noise of this great 
 shout in the camp of the Hebrews ? And 
 they understood that the ark of the 
 
 7 Lord was come into the camp. And

 asses were found. But concerning the 
 matter of the kingdom, whereof Samu-

 17 And Samuel called the people to- 
 
 18 gether unto the Lord to Mizpali ; and 
 he said unto the children of Israel, 
 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, 
 
 I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and 
 
 I delivered you out of the hand of the 
 Egyptians, and out of the hand of all 
 
 19 the kingdoms that oppressed you : but 
 ye have this day rejected your God, 
 who himself saveth you out of all your 
 calamities and your distresses ; and ye 
 have said unto him, Nay , but set a 
 king over us. Now therefore present 
 
 unto all the borders of Israel: and 
 then, if there be none to save us, we 
 
 4 will come out to thee. Then came the 
 messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and 
 spake these words in the ears of the 
 people: and all the people lifted up 
 
 5 their voice, and wept. And, behold, 
 Saul came following the oxen out of 
 the field; and Saul said, What ailetli 
 the people that they weep ? And they 
 told him the words of the men of 
 
 6 Jabesh. And the spirit of God came 
 mightily upon Saul when he heard 
 those words, and his anger was kindled 
 
 7 greatly. And he took a yoke of oxen, 
 and cut them in pieces, and sent them 
 throughout all the borders of Israel 
 by the hand of messengers, saying, 
 Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul 
 and after Samuel, so shall it be done 
 unto his oxen. And 13 the dread of the

 was so on the morrow, that Saul put

 they came into the midst of the camp 
 in the morning watch, and smote the 
 Ammonites until the heat of the day: 
 
 they cried unto the Lord, and said,

 20 son, which is with the sheep. And Jesse 
 
 15 the three eldest followed Saul . Now Da- 
 
 
 
 took an ass laden with bread, and a

 he loved him greatly ; and he became 
 
 17 And Jesse said unto David his son, 
 
 
 
 22 his armourbearer. And Saul sent to 
 
 Take now for thy brethren an ephah of 
 
 
 
 Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, 
 
 this parched corn, and these ten loaves,

 and said unto them, Why are ye come

 that he should 8 defy the armies of the

 it be done to the man that killeth him.

 and all Israel heard those words of the 
 
 and with whom hast thou left those few

 What have I now done ? 13 Is there not

 toward another, and spake after the 
 same manner : and the people answered 
 him again after the former manner. 
 
 31 And when the words were heard which 
 David spake, they rehearsed them be- 
 
 32 fore Saul ; and lie sent for him. And 
 David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart 
 fail 1 because of him; thy servant will 
 
 33 go and fight wdtli this Philistine. And 
 Saul said to David, Thou art not able 
 to go against this Philistine to fight 
 with him : for thou art but a youth, and 
 
 34 he a man of war from his youth. And 
 David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept 
 his father’s sheep ; 2 and when there 
 came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb 
 
 35 out of the flock, I went out after him, 
 and smote him, and delivered it out of 
 his mouth : and when he arose against 
 me, I caught him by his beard, and 
 
 36 smote him, and slew him. Thy servant 
 smote both the lion and the bear : and 
 this uncircumcised Philistine shall be 
 as one of them, seeing he hath 3 defied 
 
 37 the armies of the living God. And David 
 said, The Lord that 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 
 unto David, Go, and the Lord shall be 
 
 38 with thee. And Saul clad David with his 
 apparel, and he put an helmet of brass 
 upon his head, and he clad him with a 
 
 39 coat of mail. And David girded his sword 
 upon his apparel, and he assayed to go ; 
 for he had not proved it. And David 
 said unto Saul, I cannot go with these ; 
 for I have not proved them. And 
 
 40 David put them off him. And he took 
 his staff in his hand, and chose him 
 five smooth stones out of the 4 brook, 
 and put them in the shepherd’s bag 
 which he had, even in his scrip; and 
 his sling was in his hand : and he drew 
 
 41 near to the Philistine. And the Philis- 
 tine came on and drew near unto 
 David ; and the man that bare the shield 
 
 42 went before him. And when the Phil- 
 istine looked about, and saw David, 
 he disdained him: for he was but a 
 youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair 
 
 43 countenance. And the Philistine said 
 unto David, Am I a dog, that thou 
 comest to me with staves? And the 
 Philistine cursed David by his gods. 
 
 44 And the Philistine said to David, Come 
 to me, and I will give thy flesh unto 
 the fowls of the air, and to the beasts 
 
 45 of the field. Then said David to the 
 Philistine, Thou comest to me with a 
 sword, and with a spear, and with a 
 javelin : but I come to thee in the name 
 of the Lord of hosts, the God of the 
 armies of Israel, which thou hast 3 de- 
 
 46 tied. This day will the Lord deliver 
 thee into mine hand; and I will smite 
 thee, and take thine head from off thee ; 
 and I will give the carcases of the host 
 of the Philistines this day unto the 
 
 fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts 
 of the earth ; that all the earth may know 
 
 47 that there is a God in Israel: and that 
 all this assembly may know that the 
 Lord savetli not with sword and spear : 
 for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will 
 
 48 give you into our hand. And it came 
 to pass, when the Philistine arose, and 
 came and drew nigli to meet David, that 
 David hastened, and ran toward the 
 
 49 army to meet the Philistine. And Da- 
 vid put his hand in his bag, and took 
 thence a stone, and slang it, and smote 
 the Philistine in his forehead ; and the 
 stone sank into his forehead, and he fell 
 
 50 upon his face to the earth. So David 
 prevailed over the Philistine with a sling 
 and with a stone, and smote the Philis- 
 tine, and slew him; but there was no 
 
 51 sword in the hand of David. Then Da- 
 vid ran, and stood over the Philistine, 
 and took his sword, and drew it out of 
 the sheath thereof, and slew him, and 
 cut off his head therewith. And when 
 the Philistines saw that their 5 champion 
 
 52 was dead, they fled. And the men of 
 Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, 
 and pursued the Philistines, until thou 
 comest to 6 Gai, and to the gates of 
 Ekron. And the wounded of the Philis- 
 tines fell down by the way to 7 Sliaaraim, 
 
 53 even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. And 
 the children of Israel returned from 
 chasing after the Philistines, and they 
 
 54 spoiled their camp. And David took 
 the head of the Philistine, and brought 
 it to Jerusalem ; but he put his armour 
 in his tent. 
 
 55 And when Saul saw David go forth 
 against the Philistine, he said unto 
 Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, 
 whose son is this youth ? And Abner 
 said, As thy soul liveth, 0 king, I 
 
 56 cannot tell. And the king said, Inquire 
 
 57 thou whose son the stripling is. And 
 as David returned from the slaughter 
 of the Philistine, Abner took him, and 
 brought him before Saul with the head 
 
 58 of the Philistine in his hand. And Saul 
 said to him, Whose son art thou, thou 
 young man? And David answered, I 
 am the son of thy servant Jesse the 
 
 ISBeth-lehemite. And it came to pass, 
 when he had made an end of speaking 
 unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan 
 was knit with the soul of David, and 
 Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 
 
 2 And Saul took him that day, and would 
 let him go no more home to liis father’s 
 
 3 house. Then Jonathan and David 
 made a covenant, because he loved 
 
 4 him as his own soul. And Jonathan 
 stripped himself of the robe that was 
 upon him, and gave it to David, and 
 his apparel, even to his sword, and to 
 
 5 his bow, and to his girdle. And David 
 8 went out whithersoever Saul sent 
 him, and 9 behaved himself wisely : and 
 Saul set him over the men of war, and

 6 And it came to pass as they came, when

 10 And it came to pass on the morrow,

 4 Or,

 28 Michal his daughter to wife. And Saul 
 
 
 raved 
 
 in the midst of the house : and David 
 
 saw and knew that the Lord was with 
 
 
 
 played with his hand, as he did day by 
 
 David; and Michal Saul’s daughter

 on her ass, and came down by the covert 
 of the mountain, that, behold, David 
 and his men came down against her; 
 
 21 and she met them. Now David had 
 said, Surely in vain have I kept all 
 that this fellow hath in the wilderness, 
 so that nothing was missed of all that 
 pertained unto him: and he hath re- 
 
 22 turned me evil for good. God do so

 34 For in very deed, as the Lord, the 
 God of Israel, liveth, which hath with- 
 holden me from hurting thee, except 
 thou hadst hasted and come to meet 
 me, surely there had not been left unto 
 Nabal by the morning light so much 
 
 35 as one man child. So David received 
 of her hand that which she had 
 brought him: and he said unto her, 
 Go up in peace to thine house ; see, I

 as the Lord delivered thee into my

 said, As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall

 and his men, every man with his house- 
 hold, even David with his two wives, A- 
 liinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the 
 
 4 Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife. And it was 
 told Saul that David was fled to G-ath: 
 and he sought no more again for him. 
 
 5 And David said unto Achish, If now 
 I have found grace in thine eyes, let 
 them give me a place in one of the 
 cities in the 1 country, that I may dwell 
 there : for why should thy servant dwell 
 
 Gin the royal city with thee? Then 
 Achish gave him Ziklag that day: 
 wherefore Ziklag pertainetli unto the 
 kings of Judah unto this day. 
 
 7 And the number of the days that Da- 
 vid dwelt in the 1 country of the Phil- 
 istines was a full year and four months. 
 
 8 And David and his men went up, and 
 made a raid upon the Geshurites, and 
 the 2 Girzites, and the Amalekites: for 
 those nations were the inhabitants of 
 the land, 3 which were of old, as thou 
 goest to Shur, even unto the land of 
 
 9 Egypt. And David smote the land, 
 and saved neither man nor woman 
 alive, and took away the sheep, and 
 the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, 
 and the apparel ; and he returned, and 
 
 10 came to Achish. And Achish said, 
 
 4 Whither have ye made a raid to-day ? 
 And David said, Against the South of 
 Judah, and against the South of the 
 Jerahmeelites, and against the South 
 
 11 of the Kenites. And David saved nei- 
 ther man nor woman alive, to bring 
 them to Gath, saying, Lest they should 
 tell on us, saying, So did David, and 
 so hath been his manner all the while 
 he hath dwelt in the 1 country of the 
 
 12 Philistines. And Achish believed Da- 
 vid, saying, He hath made his people 
 Israel utterly to abhor him ; therefore 
 he shall be my servant for ever. 
 
 28 And it came to pass in those days, 
 that the Philistines gathered their 
 
 5 hosts together for warfare, to fight 
 with Israel. And Achish said unto 
 David, Know thou assuredly, that thou 
 shalt go out with me in the host, thou 
 
 2 and thy men. And David said to 
 Achish, Therefore thou shalt know 
 what thy servant will do. And Achish 
 said to David, Therefore will I make 
 thee keeper of mine head for ever. 
 
 3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel 
 had lamented him, and buried him in 
 Ramah, even in his own city. And 
 Saul had put away those that had 
 familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of 
 
 4 the land. And the Philistines gathered 
 themselves together, and came and 
 pitched in Shunem : and Saul gathered 
 all Israel together, and they pitched in 
 
 5 Gilboa. And when Saul saw the host 
 of the Philistines, he was afraid, and 
 
 6 his heart trembled greatly. And when 
 Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord 
 answered him not, neither by dreams, 
 
 7 nor by Urim, nor by prophets. Then 
 said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a 
 woman that hath a familiar spirit, that 
 I may go to her, and inquire of her. 
 And his servants said to him, Behold, 
 there is a woman that hath a familiar 
 
 8 spirit at En-dor. And Saul disguised 
 himself, and put on other raiment, 
 and went, he and two men with him, 
 and they came to the woman by night : 
 and he said, Divine unto me, I pray 
 thee, by the familiar spirit, and bring 
 me up whomsoever I shall name un- 
 
 9 to thee. And the woman said unto 
 him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul 
 hath done, how he hath cut off those 
 that have familiar spirits, and the 
 wizards, out of the land: wherefore 
 then layest thou a snare for my life, 
 
 10 to cause me to die ? And Saul sware 
 to her by the Lord, saying, As the 
 Lord liveth, there shall no 6 punish- 
 ment happen to thee for this thing. 
 
 11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I 
 bring up unto thee? And he said, 
 
 12 Bring me up Samuel. And when the 
 woman saw Samuel, she cried with a 
 loud voice: and the woman spake to 
 Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived 
 
 13 me ? for thou art Saul. And the king 
 said unto her, Be not afraid : for what 
 seest thou ? And the woman said unto 
 Saul, I see 7 a god coming up out of the 
 
 14 earth. And he said unto her, What 
 form is he of? And she said, An old 
 man cometh up ; and he is covered with 
 a robe. And Saul perceived that it was 
 Samuel, and he bowed with his face to 
 
 15 the ground, and did obeisance. And 
 Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou dis- 
 quieted me, to bring me up ? And Saul 
 answered, I am sore distressed ; for the 
 Philistines make war against me, and 
 God is departed from me, and answer - 
 eth me no more, neither by prophets, 
 nor by dreams : therefore I have called 
 thee, that thou mayest make known 
 
 16 unto me what I shall do. And Samuel 
 said, Wherefore then dost thou ask of 
 me, seeing the Lord is departed from 
 thee, and 8 is become thine adversary? 
 
 17 And the Lord hath 9 wrought for him- 
 self, as he spake by me : and the Lord 
 hath rent the kingdom out of thine 
 hand, and given it to thy neighbour, 
 
 18 even to David. Because thou obeyedst 
 not the voice of the Lord, and didst 
 not execute his fierce wrath upon 
 Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done 
 
 19 this thing unto thee this day. More- 
 over the Lord will deliver Israel also 
 with thee into the hand of the Philis- 
 tines: and to-morrow shalt thou and 
 thy sons be with me : the Lord shall 
 deliver the host of Israel also into the 
 
 20 hand of the Philistines. Then Saul 
 fell straightway his full length upon 
 the earth, and was sore afraid, because 
 of the words of Samuel: and there

 was no strength in him; for he had 
 eaten no bread all the day, nor all the 
 
 21 night. And the woman came unto Saul, 
 and saw that he was sore troubled, and 
 said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid 
 hath hearkened unto thy voice, and I 
 have put my life in my hand, and have 
 hearkened unto thy words which thou 
 
 22spakest unto me. Now therefore, I 
 pray thee, hearken thou also unto the 
 voice of thine handmaid, and let me 
 set a morsel of bread before thee ; and 
 eat, that thou mayest have strength, 
 
 23 when thou goest on thy way. But he 
 refused, and said, I will not eat. But 
 his servants, together with the woman, 
 constrained him ; and he hearkened 
 unto their voice. So he arose from the 
 
 24 earth, and sat upon the bed. And the 
 woman had a fatted calf in the house ; 
 and she hasted, and killed it ; and she 
 took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake 
 
 25 unleavened bread thereof: and she 
 brought it before Saul, and before his 
 servants; and they did eat. Then they 
 rose up, and went away that night. 
 
 29 Now the Philistines gathered to- 
 gether all their hosts to Aphek : and 
 the Israelites pitched by the fountain 
 
 2 which is in Jezreel. And the lords of 
 the Philistines passed on by hundreds, 
 and by thousands : and David and his 
 men passed on in the rearward with 
 
 3 Achish. Then said the princes of the 
 Philistines, What do these Hebrews 
 here ? And Achish said unto the princes 
 of the Philistines, Is not this David, 
 the servant of Saul the king of Israel, 
 which hath been with me these days 
 or these years, and I have found no 
 fault in him since he fell away unto 
 
 4 me unto this day? But the princes 
 of the Philistines were wroth with 
 him; and the princes of the Philis- 
 tines said unto him, Make the man re- 
 turn, that he may go back to his place 
 where thou hast appointed him, and 
 let him not go down with us to battle, 
 lest in the battle he become an ad- 
 versary to us : for wherewith should 
 this fellow reconcile himself unto his 
 lord? should it not be with the heads 
 
 5 of these men? Is not this David, of 
 whom they sang one to another in 
 dances, saying, 
 
 Saul hath slain his thousands, 
 
 And David his ten thousands ? 
 
 6 Then Achish called David, and said unto 
 him, As the Lord liveth, thou hast been 
 upright, and thy going out and thy 
 coming in with me in the host is good in 
 my sight : for I have not found evil in 
 thee since the day of thy coming unto 
 me unto this day: nevertheless the 
 
 7 lords favour thee not. Wherefore now 
 return, and go in peace, that thou dis- 
 please not the lords of the Philistines. 
 
 8 And David said unto Achish, But what 
 have I done ? and what hast thou found 
 
 in thy servant so long as I have been 
 before thee unto this day, that I may not 
 go and fight against the enemies of my 
 
 9 lord the king ? And Achish answered 
 and said to David, I know that thou 
 art good in my sight, as an angel of 
 God: notwithstanding the princes of 
 the Philistines have said, He shall not 
 
 10 go up with us to the battle. Wherefore 
 now rise up early in the morning with 
 the servants of thy lord that are come 
 with thee : and as soon as ye be up early 
 in the morning, and have light, depart. 
 
 11 So David rose up early, he and his 
 men, to depart in the morning, to 
 return into the land of the Philis- 
 tines. And the Philistines went up to 
 Jezreel. 
 
 30 And it came to pass, when David and 
 his men were come to Ziklag on the 
 third day, that the Amalekites had 
 made a raid upon the South, and upon 
 Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and 
 
 2 burned it with fire ; and had taken 
 captive the women and all that were 
 therein, both small and great : they slew 
 not any, but carried them off, and went 
 
 3 their way. And when David and his 
 men came to the city, behold, it was 
 burned with fire ; and their wives, and 
 their sons, and their daughters, were 
 
 4 taken captives. Then David and the 
 people that were with him lifted uj) 
 their voice and wept, until they had 
 
 5 no more power to weep. And David’s 
 two wives were taken captives, Ahino- 
 am the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the 
 
 6 wife of Nabal the Carmelite. And David 
 was greatly distressed ; for the people 
 spake of stoning him, because the soul 
 of all the people was grieved, every 
 man for his sons and for his daughters : 
 but David strengthened himself in the 
 Lord his God. 
 
 7 And David said to Abiatliar the priest, 
 the son of Ahimelech, Ipray thee, bring 
 me hither the ephod. And Abiatliar 
 brought thither the ephod to David. 
 
 8 And David inquired of the Lord, say- 
 ing, x If I pursue after this troop, shall 
 
 I overtake them? And he answered 
 him, Pursue: for thou slialt surely 
 overtake them , and shalt without fail 
 
 9 recover all. So David Avent, he and the 
 six hundred men that were with him, 
 and came to the brook Besor, where 
 
 10 those that were left behind stayed. But 
 David pursued, he and four hundred 
 men : for two hundred stayed behind, 
 which were so faint that they could 
 
 11 not go over the brook Besor: and they 
 found an Egyptian in the field, and 
 brought him to David, and gave him 
 bread, and he did eat ; and they gave 
 
 12 him water to drink : and they gave 
 him a piece of a cake of figs, and two 
 clusters of raisins ; and when he had 
 eaten, his spirit came again to him : 
 for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk

 which were in Bamoth of the South, 
 
 
 
 And he said, I am a young man of

 to them which were in Aroer, and to

 them which were in Bacal, and to them

 which were in the cities of the Jerah-

 30 the cities of the Kenites ; and to them 
 
 
 
 said to him, Wilt thou bring me down

 7 Accord-

 31 which were in Athach; and to them

 David recovered all that the Amalek- 
 
 said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw

 thy sword, and thrust me through there-

 was dead, he likewise fell upon his 
 
 
 
 other cattle, and said, This is David’s

 Abner the son of Ner came to the king,

 This day do I shew kindness unto the 
 
 king, and said, What hast thou done?

 behold, Abner came unto thee ; why is

 do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the 
 
 thy coming in, and to know all that thou

 from David, he sent messengers after

 David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth

 Saul’s son, saying, Deliver me my wife

 slum- 
 bered 
 and 
 slept ; 
 and the 
 brethren, 
 Rechab 
 and 
 
 Baanah, 
 went 
 privily 
 into the 
 house. 
 
 3 Or, 
 there 
 came . . . 
 men 
 fetching 
 wheat 
 
 if I taste bread, or aught else, till the 
 
 36 sun be down. And all the people took 
 notice of it, and it pleased them: as 
 whatsoever the king did pleased all the 
 
 37 people. So all the people and all Israel 
 understood that day that it was not of 
 the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. 
 
 38 And the king said unto his servants, 
 Know ye not that there is a prince and 
 a great man fallen this day in Israel ? 
 
 39 And I am this day weak, though an- 
 ointed king; and these men the sons of 
 Zeruiah be too hard for me : the Lord 
 reward the wicked doer according to 
 his wickedness. 
 
 4 And when Ish-bosheth , Saul’s son, 
 heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, 
 his hands became feeble, and all the 
 
 2 Israelites were troubled. And Ish- 
 bosheth, Saul’s son, had two men that 
 were captains of bands : the name of 
 the one was Baanah, and the name of 
 the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon 
 the Beerothite, of the children of Ben- 
 jamin: (for Beeroth also is reckoned 
 
 3 to Benjamin: and the Beerothites fled 
 to Gittaim, and have been sojourners 
 there until this day.) 
 
 4 Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son 
 that was lame of his feet. He was 
 live years old when the tidings came 
 of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, 
 and his nurse took him up, and fled: 
 and it came to pass, as she made haste 
 to flee, that he fell, and became lame. 
 And his name was iMephibosheth. 
 
 5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beeroth- 
 ite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and 
 came about the heat of the day to the 
 house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest 
 
 6 at noon. 2 And 3 they came thither into 
 the midst of the house, as though they 
 would have fetched wheat; and they 
 smote him in the belly: and Rechab 
 
 7 and Baanah his brother escaped. Now 
 when they came into the house, as he 
 lay on his bed in his bedchamber, they 
 smote him, and slew him, and be- 
 headed him, and took his head, and 
 went by the way of the Arabah all 
 
 8 night. And they brought the head 
 of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, 
 and said to the king, Behold the head 
 of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine 
 enemy, which sought thy life ; and the 
 Lord hath avenged my lord the king 
 
 9 this day of Saul, and of his seed. And 
 David answered Rechab and Baanah 
 his brother, the sons of Rimmon the 
 Beerothite, and said unto them, As the 
 Lord livetli, who hath redeemed my 
 
 10 soul out of all adversity, when one 
 told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, 
 thinking to have brought good tidings, 
 I took hold of him, and slew him in 
 Ziklag, which was the reward I gave 
 
 11 him for his tidings. How much more, 
 when wicked men have slain a right- 
 eous person in his own house upon his 
 
 bed, shall I not now require liis blood 
 of your hand, and take you away from 
 
 12 the earth? And David commanded 
 his young men, and they slew them, 
 and cut off their hands and their feet, 
 and hanged them up beside the pool 
 in Hebron. But they took the head of 
 Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave 
 of Abner in Hebron. 
 
 5 Then came all the tribes of Israel to 
 David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, 
 Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 
 
 2 In times past, when Saul was king 
 over us, it was thou that leddest out 
 and broughtest in Israel : and the Lord 
 said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people 
 Israel, and thou shalt be 4 prince over 
 
 3 Israel. So all the elders of Israel came 
 to the king to Hebron ; and king David 
 made a covenant with them in Hebron 
 before the Lord: and they anointed 
 David king over Israel. 
 
 4 David was thirty years old when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned forty 
 
 5 years. In Hebron he reigned over 
 Judah seven years and six months : and 
 in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and 
 three years over all Israel and Judah. 
 
 6 5 And the king and his men went to 
 Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the 
 inhabitants of the land: which spake 
 unto David, saying, 6 Except thou take 
 away the blind and the lame, thou shalt 
 not come in hither: thinking, David 
 
 7 cannot come in hither. Nevertheless 
 David took the strong hold of Zion ; the 
 
 8 same is the city of David. And David 
 said on that day, Whosoever smitetli 
 the Jebusites, let him get up to the 
 watercourse, 7 and smite the lame and 
 the blind, 8 that are hated of David’s 
 soul. Wherefore they say, 9 There are 
 the blind and the lame; he cannot 
 
 9 come into the house. And David dwelt 
 in the strong hold, and called it the city 
 of David. And David built round about 
 
 10 from Millo and inward. And David 
 waxed greater and greater; for the 
 Lord, the God of hosts, was with him. 
 
 11 10 And Hiram king of Tyre sent mes- 
 sengers to David, and cedar trees, and 
 carpenters, and masons: and they 
 
 12 built David an house. And David 
 perceived that the Lord had estab- 
 lished him king over Israel, and that 
 he had exalted his kingdom for his 
 people Israel’s sake. 
 
 13 And David took him more concubines 
 and wives out of Jerusalem, after he 
 was come from Hebron: and there 
 were yet sons and daughters born to 
 
 14 David. And these be the names of 
 those that were born unto him in Jeru- 
 salem ; Sliammua, and Sliobab, and 
 
 15 Nathan, and Solomon, and Ibliar, and 
 
 lGElishua; andNepheg, andJapliia; and 
 
 Elishama, and n Eliada, and Eliphelet.

 that they had anointed David king

 over Israel, all the Philistines went 
 np to seek David ; and David heard of 
 
 18 it, and went down to the hold. Now 
 the Philistines had come and spread 
 themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 19 And David inquired of the Lord, say- 
 ing, Shall I go up against the Phil- 
 istines? wilt thou deliver them into 
 mine hand? And the Lord said unto 
 David, Go up : for I will certainly de- 
 liver the Philistines into thine hand. 
 
 would not remove the ark of the Lord 
 unto him into the city of David; but 
 David carried it aside into the house of 
 
 11 Obed-edom the Gittite. And the ark 
 of the Lord remained in the house of 
 Obed-edom the Gittite three months: 
 and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and 
 
 12 all his house. And it was told king Da- 
 vid, saying, The Lord hath blessed the 
 house of Obed-edom, and all that per-

 23 valley of Rephaim. And when David 
 inquired of the Lord, he said, Thou 
 slialt not go up : make a circuit behind 
 them, and come upon them over against

 the Lord with shouting, and with the 
 16 sound of the trumpet. And it was so,

 for it : and David offered burnt offerings 
 and peace offerings before the Lord.

 26 2 Now Joab fought against Kabbah of 
 the children of Ammon, and took the 
 
 27 royal city. And Joab sent messengers 
 to David, and said, I have fought a- 
 gainst Kabbah, yea, I have taken the 
 
 28 city of waters. Now therefore gather 
 the rest of the people together, and en- 
 camp against the city, and take it : lest 
 I take the city, and 3 it be called after 
 
 29 my name. And David gathered all the 
 people together, and went to Kabbah, 
 
 30 and fought against it, and took it. And 
 he took the crown of 4 their king from 
 off his head ; and the weight thereof 
 was a talent of gold, and in it were pre- 
 cious stones ; and it was set on David’s 
 head. And he brought forth the spoil 
 
 31 of the city, exceeding much. And he 
 brought forth the people that were 
 therein, and put them 5 under saws, 
 and 5 under harrows of iron, and 5 under 
 axes of iron, and 6 made them pass 
 through the 7 brickkiln: and thus did 
 he unto all the cities of the children of 
 Ammon. And David and all the people 
 returned unto Jerusalem. 
 
 13 And it came to pass after this, that 
 Absalom the son of David had a fair 
 sister, whose name was Tamar; and 
 Amnon the son of David loved her. 
 
 2 And Amnon was so vexed that he fell 
 sick because of his sister Tamar ; for 
 she was a virgin ; and it seemed hard 
 to Amnon to do any thing unto her. 
 
 3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name 
 was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah Da- 
 vid’s brother : and Jonadab was a very 
 
 4 subtil man. And he said unto him, 
 Why, 0 son of the king, art thou thus 
 lean 8 from day to day ? wilt thou not 
 tell me ? And Amnon said unto him, 
 
 I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s 
 
 5 sister. And Jonadab said unto him, 
 Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign 
 thyself sick : and when thy father 
 cometh to see thee, say unto him, Let 
 my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and 
 give me bread to eat, and dress the food 
 in my sight, that I may see it, and eat 
 
 6 it at her hand. So Amnon lay down, 
 and feigned himself sick : and when the 
 king was come to see him, Amnon said 
 unto the king, Let my sister Tamar 
 come, I pray thee, and make me a couple 
 of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at 
 
 7 her hand. Then David sent home to 
 Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother 
 
 8 Amnon’ s house, and dress him food. So 
 Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s 
 house; and he was laid down. And 
 she took dough, and kneaded it, and 
 made cakes in his sight, and did bake 
 
 9 the cakes. And she took the pan, and 
 poured them out before him ; but he re- 
 fused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out 
 all men from me. And they went out 
 
 10 every man from him. And Amnon said 
 unto Tamar, Bring the food into the 
 chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. 
 And Tamar took the cakes which she 
 had made, and brought them into the 
 
 11 chamber to Amnon her brother. And 
 when she had brought them near unto 
 him to eat, he took hold of her, and 
 said unto her, Come lie with me, my 
 
 12 sister. And she answered him, Nay, 
 my brother, do not 9 force me ; for no 
 such thing ought to be done in Israel : 
 
 13 do not thou this folly. And I, whither 
 shall I carry my shame? and as for 
 thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools 
 in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, 
 speak unto the king ; for he will not 
 
 14 withhold me from thee. Howbeit he 
 would not hearken unto her voice : but 
 being stronger than she, he forced her, 
 
 15 and lay with her. Then Amnon hated 
 her with exceeding great hatred; for 
 the hatred wherewith he hated her 
 was greater than the love wherewith 
 he had loved her. And Amnon said 
 
 16 unto her, Arise, be gone. And she said 
 unto him, 10 Not so, because this great 
 wrong in putting me forth is worse than 
 the other that thou didst unto me. 
 But he would not hearken unto her. 
 
 17 Then he called his servant that minis- 
 tered unto him, and said, Put now this 
 woman out from me, and bolt the door 
 
 18 after her. And she had 11 a garment of 
 divers colours upon her : for with such 
 robes were the king’s daughters that 
 were virgins apparelled. Then his 
 servant brought her out, and bolted the 
 
 19 door after her. And Tamar put ashes 
 on her head, and rent her garment of 
 divers colours that was on her ; and she 
 laid her hand on her head, and went 
 her way, crying aloud as she went. 
 
 20 And Absalom her brother said unto 
 her, Hath 12 Amnon thy brother been 
 with thee ? but now hold thy peace, 
 my sister : he is thy brother ; take 
 not this thing to heart. So Tamar 
 remained desolate in her brother Ab- 
 
 21salom’s house. But when king David 
 heard of all these things, he was very 
 
 22 wroth. And Absalom spake unto Am- 
 non neither good nor bad : for Absalom 
 hated Amnon, because he had forced 
 his sister Tamar. 
 
 23 And it cam e to pass after two full years, 
 that Absalom had sheepshearers in 
 Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim : 
 and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. 
 
 24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, 
 Behold now, thy servant hath sheep- 
 shearers ; let the king, I pray thee, and 
 
 25 his servants go with thy servant. And 
 the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, 
 let us not all go, lest we be burdensome 
 unto thee. And he pressed him : how- 
 beit he would not go, but blessed him. 
 
 26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, 
 let my brother Amnon go with us. And 
 
 10 Or,

 not 
 
 there is 
 
 occasion 
 
 for this

 the king said unto him, Why should he 
 
 *27 go with thee? But Absalom pressed 
 him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s 
 
 28 sons go with him. And Absalom com- 
 manded his servants, saying, Mark ye 
 now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with 
 wine ; and when I say unto you, Smite 
 Amnon, then kill him, fear not: have not 
 I commanded you ? be courageous, and 
 
 29 be valiant. And the servants of Absa- 
 lom did unto Amnon as Absalom had 
 commanded. Then all the king’s sons 
 arose, and every man gat him up upon 
 
 30 his mule, and fled. And it came to pass, 
 while they were in the way, that the 
 tidings came to David, saying, Absalom 
 hath slain all the king’s sons, and 
 
 31 there is not one of them left. Then 
 the king arose, and rent his garments, 
 and lay on the earth ; and all his serv- 
 ants stood by with their clothes rent. 
 
 32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeali 
 David’s brother, answered and said, 
 Let not my lord suppose that they 
 have killed all the young men the king’s 
 sons ; for Amnon only is dead : for by 
 the appointment of Absalom this hath 
 been determined from the day that 
 
 33 he forced his sister Tamar. Now 
 therefore let not my lord the king take 
 the thing to his heart, to think that all 
 the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon 
 
 34 only is dead. But Absalom fled. And 
 the young man that kept the watch 
 lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, be- 
 hold, there came much people by the 
 
 35 way of the hill side behind him. And 
 Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the 
 king’s sons are come: as thy servant 
 
 36 said, so it is. And it came to pass, as 
 soon as he had made an end of speak- 
 ing, that, behold, the king’s sons came, 
 and lifted up their voice, and w'ept : and 
 the king also and all his servants wept 
 
 37 1 very sore. But Absalom fled, and 
 went to Talmai the son of 2 Ammihur, 
 king of G-eshur. And David mourned 
 for his son every day. 
 
 38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, 
 
 39 and was there three years. And the soul 
 of king David longed to go forth unto 
 Absalom : for he was comforted con- 
 cerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. 
 
 14 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah per- 
 ceived that the king’s heart was to- 
 
 2 ward Absalom. And Joab sent to 
 Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise 
 woman, and said unto her, I pray 
 thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, 
 and put on mourning apparel, I pray 
 thee, and anoint not thyself with oil, 
 but be as a woman that had a long 
 
 3 time mourned for the dead : and go in 
 to the king, and speak on this manner 
 unto him. So Joab put the words in 
 
 4 her mouth. And when the woman of 
 Tekoa spake to the king, she fell on 
 her face to the ground, and did obei- 
 
 5 sance, and said, Help, 0 king. And the 
 
 king said unto her, What aileth thee ? 
 And she answered, Of a truth I am a 
 widow woman, and mine husband is 
 
 6 dead. And thy handmaid had two 
 sons, and they two strove together in 
 the field, and there was none to part 
 them, but the one smote the other, 
 
 7 and killed him. And, behold, the whole 
 family is risen against thine handmaid, 
 and they said, Deliver him that smote 
 his brother, that we may kill him for 
 the life of his brother whom he slew, 
 and so destroy the heir also : thus shall 
 they quench my coal which is left, 
 and shall leave to my husband neither 
 name nor remainder upon the face of 
 
 8 the earth. And the king said unto the 
 woman, Go to thine house, and I will 
 
 9 give charge concerning thee. And the 
 woman of Tekoa said unto the king, 
 My lord, 0 king, the iniquity be on me, 
 and on my father’s house : and the king 
 
 10 and his throne be guiltless. And the 
 king said, Whosoever saith aught unto 
 thee, bring him to me, and he shall not 
 
 11 touch thee any more. Then said she, 
 
 I pray thee, let the king remember the 
 Lord thy God, that the avenger of blood 
 destroy not any more, lest they destroy 
 my son. And he said, As the Lord 
 liveth, there shall not one hair of thy 
 
 12 son fall to the earth. Then the woman 
 said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, 
 speak a word unto my lord the king. 
 
 13 And he said, Say on. And the woman 
 said, Wherefore then hast thou devised 
 such a thing against the people of 
 God? for in speaking this word the 
 king is as one which is guilty, in that 
 the king doth not fetch home again 
 
 14 his banished one. Bor we must needs 
 die, and are as water spilt on the 
 ground, which cannot be gathered up 
 again ; neither doth God take away life, 
 but deviseth means, that he that is 
 banished be not an outcast from him. 
 
 15 Now therefore seeing that I am come 
 to speak this word unto my lord the 
 king, it is because the people have 
 made me afraid: and thy handmaid 
 said, I will now speak unto the king ; it 
 may be that the king w r ill perform the 
 
 16 request of his servant. Bor the king 
 will hear, to deliver his servant out of 
 the hand of the man that would destroy 
 me and my son together out of the in- 
 
 17 lieritance of God. Then thine handmaid 
 said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my 
 lord the king be 3 comfortable: for as 
 
 4 an angel of God, so is my lord the king 
 
 5 to discern good and bad : and the Lord 
 
 18 thy God be with thee. Then the king 
 answered and said unto the woman, 
 Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught 
 that I shall ask thee. And the woman 
 said, Let my lord the king now speak. 
 
 19 And the king said, Is the hand of Joab 
 with thee in all this ? And the woman 
 answered and said, As thy soul liveth,

 for rest.

 my lord the king, none can turn to the

 was so, that when any man had a

 suit which should come to the king 
 
 
 
 for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and 
 
 for judgement, then Absalom called 
 
 
 
 he put all these words in the mouth 
 
 unto him, and said, Of what city art 
 
 
 
 20 of tliine handmaid : to change the face 
 
 thou ? And he said, Thy servant is of 
 
 
 
 of the matter hath thy servant Joab 
 
 3 one of the tribes of Israel. And Ab- 
 
 
 
 done this thing: and my lord is wise, 
 
 salom said unto him, See, thy matters 
 
 
 1 Or, the

 ground on his face, and did obeisance, 
 
 5 would do him justice ! And it was 
 
 
 
 and blessed the king : and Joab said, To- 
 
 so, that when any man came nigh 
 
 
 
 day thy servant lmowetli that I have 
 
 to do him obeisance, he put forth 
 
 
 
 f oundgrace in thy sight, my lord, 0 king, 
 
 his hand, and took hold of him, and 
 
 
 
 in that the king hath performed the re- 
 
 6 kissed him. And on this manner did 
 
 
 3An other 
 
 23 quest of 3 his servant. So Joab arose and 
 
 Absalom to all Israel that came to the 
 
 
 reading 
 is, thy. 
 
 went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to 
 
 king for judgement: so Absalom stole 
 
 
 
 24 Jerusalem. And the king said, Let him 
 
 the hearts of the men of Israel. 
 
 
 
 turn to his own house, but let him not 
 
 7 And it came to pass at the end of 
 
 
 
 see my face. So Absalom turned to his 
 
 4 forty years, that Absalom said unto 
 
 f Accord -

 the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay

 unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and 
 
 
 
 the hair was heavy on him, therefore 
 
 10 went to Hebron. But Absalom sent 
 
 
 
 he polled it:) he weighed the hair of 
 
 spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, 
 
 
 
 his head at two hundred shekels, after 
 
 saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of 
 
 
 
 27 the king’s weight. And unto Absalom 
 
 the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom 
 
 
 
 there were born three sons, and one 
 
 11 is king in Hebron. And with Absalom

 28 And Absalom dwelt two full years in 
 
 their simplicity ; and they knew not any 
 
 
 
 Jerusalem; and he saw not the king’s 
 
 12 thing. And Absalom 7 sent for Ahitlio- 
 
 7 Or, sent 
 
 
 29 face. Then Absalom sent for Joab, to 
 
 phel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, 
 
 Ahitho- 
 
 phel 
 
 
 send him to the king; but he would 
 
 from his city, even from Giloh, while 
 
 
 
 not come to him : and he sent again a

 second time, but he would not come. 
 
 spiracy was strong; for the people 
 
 
 
 30 Therefore he said unto his servants, 
 
 increased continually with Absalom. 
 
 
 
 See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he 
 
 13 And there came a messenger to David,

 saying, The hearts of the men of Israel 
 
 
 
 And Absalom’s servants set the field on 
 
 14 are after Absalom. And David said 
 
 
 
 31 fire. Then Joab arose, and came to 
 
 unto all his servants that were with 
 
 
 
 Absalom unto his house, and said unto 
 
 him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us 
 
 
 
 him, Wherefore have thy servants 
 
 flee; for else none of us shall escape 
 
 
 
 32 set my field on fire ? And Absalom an- 
 
 from Absalom : make speed to depart, 
 
 
 
 swered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, 
 
 lest he overtake us quickly, and bring 
 
 
 
 saying, Come hither, that I may send 
 
 down evil upon us, and smite the city 
 
 
 
 thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am 
 
 15 with the edge of the sword. And the 
 
 
 
 I come from Geshur ? it were better for

 J oab came to the king, and told him : 
 
 all his household after him. And the

 all the country wept with a loud voice, 
 
 them two hundred loaves of bread, and

 men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and 
 16 Aliithophel with him. And it came to 
 pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s 
 friend, was come unto Absalom, that 
 Hushai said unto Absalom, 4 God save 
 
 10 people that follow Absalom. And even 
 he that is valiant, whose heart is as the 
 heart of a lion, shall utterly melt : for 
 all Israel knoweth that thy father is a 
 mighty man, and they which be with 
 
 
 Icing 
 
 17 the king, God save the king. And 
 
 11 him are valiant men. But I counsel 
 
 
 live. 
 
 Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy 
 
 that all Israel be gathered together un- 
 
 
 
 kindness to thy friend? why wentest 
 18 thou not with thy friend ? And Hushai 
 said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom

 as the sand that is by the sea for mult- 
 itude; and 8 that thou go to battle in

 the dew f alleth on the ground : and of 
 
 battle 
 
 
 not serve in the presence of his son ? as 
 I have served in thy father’s presence, 
 20 so will I be in thy presence. Then 
 
 him and of all the men that are with 
 him we will not leave so much as 
 13 one. Moreover, if he 9 be gotten into a

 phel said unto Absalom, Go in unto 
 thy father’s concubines, which he hath 
 left to keep the house; and all Israel 
 shall hear that thou art abhorred of 
 thy father: then shall the hands of 
 
 22 all that are with thee be strong. So 
 they spread Absalom a tent upon the 
 top of the house; and Absalom went 
 in unto his father’s concubines in the 
 
 23 sight of all Israel. And the counsel 
 of Aliithophel, which he counselled in 
 those days, was as if a man inquired 
 at the 6 oracle of God : so was all the 
 
 river, until there be not one small stone 
 
 14 found there. And Absalom and all the 
 men of Israel said, The counsel of 
 Hushai the Archite is better than the 
 counsel of Ahithopliel. For the Lord 
 had ordained to defeat the good counsel 
 of Ahithophel, 1 to the intent that the 
 Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. 
 
 15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to 
 Abiathar the juiests, Thus and thus 
 did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and 
 the elders of Israel ; and thus and thus 
 
 16 have I counselled. Now therefore send

 14 The Lord thundered from heaven, 
 
 And the Most High uttered his voice. 
 
 15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered 
 
 them ; 
 
 Lightning, and discomfited them. 
 
 16 Then the channels of the sea appeared, 
 The foundations of the world were laid 
 
 hare, 
 
 By the rebuke of the Lord, 
 
 At the blast of the breath of liis nos- 
 trils. 
 
 17 He sent from on high, he took me; 
 
 He drew me out of x many waters ; 
 
 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, 
 From them that hated me; for they 
 
 were too mighty for me. 
 
 19 They came upon me in the day of my 
 
 calamity : 
 
 But the Lord was my stay. 
 
 20 He brought me forth also into a large 
 
 place : 
 
 He delivered me, because he delighted 
 in me. 
 
 21 The Lord rewarded me according to 
 
 my righteousness : 
 
 According to the cleanness of my hands 
 hath he recompensed me. 
 
 22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, 
 And have not wickedly departed from 
 
 my God. 
 
 23 For all his judgements were before 
 
 me: 
 
 And as for his statutes, I did not depart 
 from them. 
 
 24 1 was also perfect toward him, 
 
 And I kept myself from mine iniquity. 
 
 25 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed 
 
 me according to my righteousness ; 
 According to my cleanness in his eye- 
 sight. 
 
 26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thy- 
 
 self merciful, 
 
 With the perfect man thou wilt shew 
 thyself perfect ; 
 
 27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself 
 
 pure ; 
 
 And with the perverse thou wilt shew 
 thyself 2 froward. 
 
 28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save : 
 But thine eyes are upon the haughty, 
 
 3 that thou mayest bring them down. 
 
 29 For thou art my lamp, O Lord : 
 
 And the Lord will lighten my darkness. 
 
 30 For by thee I run 4 upon a troop : 
 
 By my God do I leap over a wall. 
 
 31 As for God, his way is perfect : 
 
 The word of the Lord is tried ; 
 
 He is a shield unto all them that trust 
 in him. 
 
 32 For who is God, save the Lord ? 
 
 And who is a rock, save our God? 
 
 33 God is my strong fortress : 
 
 And he 5 guideth the perfect in his 
 way. 
 
 34 He makctli 6 his feet like hinds’ feet : 
 And setteth me upon my high places. 
 
 35 He teacheth my hands to war ; 
 
 So that mine arms do bend a bow of 
 brass. 
 
 36 Thou hast also given me the shield of 
 
 thy salvation : 
 
 And thy 7 gentleness hath made me 
 great. 
 
 37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, 
 And my 8 feet have not slipped. 
 
 38 1 have pursued mine enemies, and de- 
 stroyed them ; 
 
 Neither did I turn again till they were 
 consumed. 
 
 39 And I have consumed them, and smitten 
 
 them through, that they cannot a- 
 rise: 
 
 Yea, they are fallen under my feet. 
 
 40 For thou hast girded me with strength 
 
 unto the battle : 
 
 Thou hast 9 subdued under me those 
 that rose up against me. 
 
 41 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn 
 
 their backs unto me, 
 
 That I might cut off them that hate 
 me.

 I did stamp them as the mire of the

 of the Philistines was then in Beth-

 Oh that one would give me water to 
 drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which 
 
 16 is by the gate ! And the three mighty 
 men brake through the host of the 
 Philistines, and drew water out of the 
 well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, 
 
 was kindled against Israel, and he 
 moved David against them, saying, Go, 
 
 2 number Israel and Judah. And the 
 king said to Joab the captain of the 
 host, which was with him, Go now to 
 and fro through all the tribes of Israel, 
 from Dan even to Beer-slieba, and num- 
 ber ye the people, that I may know the

 3 sum of the people. And Joab said 
 unto the king, Now the Lord thy God 
 add unto the people, liow many soever 
 they be, an hundredfold, and may the 
 eyes of my lord the king see it: but 
 why doth my lord the king delight 
 
 4 in thi$ thing? Notwithstanding the 
 king’s word prevailed against Joab, 
 and against the captains of the host. 
 And Joab and the captains of the host 
 went out from the presence of the 
 king, to number the people of Israel. 
 
 5 And they passed over Jordan, and 
 pitched in Aroer, on the right side of 
 the city that is in the middle of the 
 
 6 valley 1 of Gad, and unto Jazer: then 
 they came to Gilead, and to the land 
 of Tahtim-liodshi ; and they came to 
 Dan-jaan, and round about to Zidon, 
 
 7 and came to the strong hold of Tyre, 
 and to all the cities of the Hivites, and 
 of the Canaanites : and they went out 
 to the south of Judah, at Beer-sheba. 
 
 8 So when they had gone to and fro 
 through all the land, they came to 
 Jerusalem at the end of nine months 
 
 9 and twenty days. And Joab gave up 
 the sum of the numbering of the people 
 unto the king : and there were in Israel 
 eight hundred thousand valiant men 
 that drew the sword; and the men 
 of Judah were five hundred thousand 
 men. 
 
 10 And David’s heart smote him after 
 that he had numbered the people. And 
 David said unto the Lord, I have 
 sinned greatly in that I have done: 
 but now, 0 Lord, put away, I beseech 
 thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for 
 
 111 have done very foolishly. And when 
 David rose up in the morning, the 
 word of the Lord came unto the pro- 
 
 12 phet Gad, David’s seer, saying, Go 
 and speak unto David, Thus saith the 
 Lord, 1 2 offer thee three things; choose 
 thee one of them, that I may do it 
 
 13 unto thee. So Gad came to David, 
 and told him, and said unto him, Shall 
 seven years of famine come unto thee 
 in thy land? or wilt thou flee three 
 months before thy foes while they pur- 
 sue thee ? or shall there be three days’ 
 pestilence in thy land? now advise 
 thee, and consider what answer I shall 
 
 14 return to him that sent me. And 
 David said unto Gad, I am in a great 
 strait : let us fall now into the hand of 
 
 the Lord; for his mercies are 3 great: 
 and let me not fall into the hand of 
 
 15 man. So the Lord sent a pestilence 
 upon Israel from the morning even to 
 the time appointed : and there died of 
 the people from Dan even to Beer- 
 
 16 sheba seventy thousand men. And 
 when the angel stretched out his hand 
 toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the 
 Lord repented him of the evil, and 
 said to the angel that destroyed the 
 people, It is enough; now stay thine 
 hand. And the angel of the Lord was 
 by the threshing-floor of 4 Araunah the 
 
 17 Jebusite. And David spake unto the 
 Lord when he saw the angel that smote 
 the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, 
 and I have done perversely : but these 
 sheep, what have they done ? let thine 
 hand, I pray thee, be against me, and 
 against my father’s house. 
 
 18 And Gad came that day to David, and 
 said unto him, Go up, rear an altar 
 unto the Lord in the threshing-floor 
 
 19 of Araunah the Jebusite. And David 
 went up according to the saying of 
 
 20 Gad, as the Lord commanded. And 
 Araunah looked forth, and saw the 
 king and his servants 5 coming on to- 
 ward him : and Araunah went out, and 
 bowed himself before the king with his 
 
 21 face to the ground. And Araunah said, 
 Wherefore is my lord the king come to 
 his servant ? Aaid David said, To buy 
 the threshing-floor of thee, to build an 
 altar unto the Lord, that the plague 
 
 22 may be stayed from the people. And 
 Araunah said unto David, Let my lord 
 the king take and offer up what seem- 
 eth good unto him : behold, the oxen for 
 the burnt offering, and the threshing 
 instruments and the furniture of the 
 
 23 oxen for the wood: 6 all this, 0 king, 
 doth Araunah give unto the king. And 
 Araunah said unto the king, The Lord 
 
 24 thy God accept thee. And the king 
 said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will 
 verily buy it of thee at a price : neither 
 will I offer burnt offerings unto the 
 Lord my God which cost me nothing. 
 So David bought the threshing-floor 
 and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 
 
 25 And David built there an altar unto 
 the Lord, and offered burnt offerings 
 and peace offerings. So the Lord was 
 intreated for the land, and the plague 
 was stayed from Israel.

 1 Now king David was old and stricken 
 in years ; and they covered him with 
 
 2 clothes, but he gat no heat. Where- 
 fore his servants said unto him, Let 
 there he sought for my lord the king 
 a young virgin : and let her stand be- 
 fore the king, and cherish him; and 
 let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord 
 
 3 the king may get heat. So they sought 
 for a fair damsel throughout all the 
 coasts of Israel, and found Abishag the 
 Sliunammite, and brought her to the 
 
 4 king. And the damsel was very fair ; 
 and she cherished the king, and min- 
 istered to him; but the king knew 
 
 5 her not. Then Adonijali the son of 
 Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will 
 be king : and he prepared him chariots 
 and horsemen, and fifty men to run 
 
 6 before him. And his father had not 
 displeased him 1 at any time in saying, 
 Why hast thou done so ? and he was 
 also a very goodly man ; and he was 
 
 7 born after Absalom. And he conferred 
 with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with 
 Abiathar the priest : and they follow - 
 
 8 ing Adonijali helped him. But Zadok 
 the priest, and Benaiah the son of Je- 
 lioiada, and Nathan the prophet, and 
 Sliimei, and Rei, and the mighty men 
 which belonged to David, were not with 
 
 9 Adonijali. And Adonijah 2 slew sheep 
 and oxen and fatlings by the stone of 
 Zolieletli, which is beside En-rogel; 
 and he called all his brethren the king’s 
 sons, and all the men of Judah the 
 
 10 king’s servants: but Nathan the pro- 
 phet, and Benaiah, and the mighty 
 men, and Solomon his brother, he called 
 
 11 not. Then Nathan spake unto Bath- 
 slieba the mother of Solomon, saying, 
 Hast thou not heard that Adonijali the 
 son of Haggith doth reign, and David 
 
 12 our lord knoweth it not? Now there- 
 fore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee 
 counsel, that thou mayest save thine 
 own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 
 
 13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and 
 say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, 
 0 king, swear unto thine handmaid, 
 saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall 
 reign after me, and he shall sit upon my 
 throne ? why then doth Adonijah reign ? 
 
 14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there 
 with the king, I also will come in after 
 
 15 thee, and confirm thy words. And 
 Bath-slieba went in unto the king into 
 
 I the chamber : and the king was very 
 old ; and Abishag the Shunammite min- 
 
 16 istered unto the king. And Bath-skeba 
 bowed, and did obeisance unto the 
 king. And the king said, What would- 
 
 17 est tliou? And she said unto him, My 
 lord, thou swarest by the Lord thy God 
 unto thine handmaid, saying , Assured- 
 ly Solomon thy son shall reign after 
 me, and he shall sit upon my throne. 
 
 18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; 
 3 and thou, my lord the king, knowest 
 
 19 it not : and he hath 2 slain oxen and fat- 
 lings and sheep in abundance, and hath 
 called all the sons of the king, and 
 Abiathar the priest, and Joab the capt- 
 ain of the host : but Solomon thy serv- 
 
 20 ant hath he not called. And 4 thou, my 
 lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are 
 upon thee, that thou sliouldest tell them 
 who shall sit on the throne of my lord 
 
 21 the king after him. Otherwise it shall 
 come to pass, when my lord the king 
 shall sleep with his fathers, that I and 
 my son Solomon shall be counted 5 of- 
 
 22 fenders. And, lo, while she yet talked 
 with the king, Nathan the prophet 
 
 23 came in. And they told the king, say- 
 ing, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And 
 when he was come in before the king, 
 he bowed himself before the king with 
 
 24 his face to the ground. And Nathan 
 said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, 
 Adonijah shall reign after me, and he 
 
 25 shall sit upon my throne ? For he is 
 gone down this day, and hath 2 slain 
 oxen and fatlings and sheep in abund- 
 ance, and hath called all the king’s 
 sons, and the captains of the host, and 
 Abiathar the priest ; and, behold, they 
 eat and drink before him, and say, God 
 
 26 save king Adonijah. But me, even me 
 thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and 
 Benaiah the son of Jelioiada, and tliy 
 servant Solomon, hath he not called. 
 
 27 Is this thing done by my lord the 
 king, and thou hast not shewed unto 
 thy 6 servants who should sit on the 
 throne of my lord the king after him ? 
 
 28 Then king David answered and said, 
 Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into 
 the king’s presence, and stood before 
 
 29 the king. And the king sware, and said, 
 As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed 
 
 30 my soul out of all adversity, verily as I 
 sware unto thee by the Lord, the God 
 of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon 
 thy son shall reign after me, and he shall 
 sit upon my throne in my stead ; verily 
 
 31 so will I do this day. Then Bath- 
 sheba bowed with her face to the earth,

 Israel : and blow ye with the trumpet,

 the prophet that brought him back: 
 
 
 
 God, which he cried against the altar

 when Ahijah heard the sound of her

 they are written in tlie book of the 
 chronicles of the kings of Israel. 
 
 20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned 
 were two and twenty years : and he 
 slept with his fathers, and Nadab his 
 son reigned in his stead. 
 
 21 x And Behoboam the son of Solomon 
 reigned in Jndah. Behoboam was 
 forty and one years old when he began 
 to reign, and he reigned seventeen 
 years in Jerusalem, the city which the 
 Lord had chosen out of all the tribes 
 of Israel, to put his name there : and 
 his mother’s name was Naamah the 
 
 22 Ammonitess. And Judah did that 
 which was evil in the sight of the Lord ; 
 and they provoked him to jealousy with 
 their sins which they committed, above 
 
 23 all that their fathers had done. For 
 they also built them high places, and 
 2 piHars, and Asherim, on every high 
 hill, and under every green tree ; 
 
 24 and there were also 3 sodomites in the 
 land: they did according to all the 
 abominations of the nations which 
 the Lord clrave out before the child- 
 
 25 ren of Israel. 4 And it came to pass 
 in the fifth year of king Behoboam, 
 that Shishak king of Egypt came up 
 
 26 against Jerusalem: and he took away 
 the treasures of the house of the Lord, 
 and the treasures of the king’s house ; 
 he even took away all: and he took 
 away all the shields of gold which 
 
 27 Solomon had made. And king Beho- 
 boam made in their stead shields of 
 brass, and committed them to the 
 hands of the captains of the 5 guard, 
 which kept the door of the king’s house. 
 
 28 And it was so, that as oft as the king 
 went into the house of the Lord, the 
 guard bare them, and brought them 
 
 29 back into the guard chamber. 6 Now 
 the rest of the acts of Behoboam, and 
 all that he did, are they not written in 
 the book of the chronicles of the kings 
 
 30 of Judah ? And there was war between 
 Behoboam and Jeroboam continually. 
 
 31 And Behoboam slept with his fathers, 
 and was buried with his fathers in the 
 city of David : and his mother’s name 
 was Naamah the Ammonitess. And 
 7 Abij am his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 15 8 Now in the eighteenth year of king 
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat began 
 
 2Abijam to reign over Judah. Three 
 years reigned he in Jerusalem: and 
 his mother’s name was 9 Maacah the 
 
 3 daughter of 10 Abishalom. 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 the heart of David 
 
 4 his father. Nevertheless for David’s 
 sake did the Lord his God give him 
 a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his 
 son after him, and to establish Jeru- 
 
 5 salem: because David did that which 
 was right in the eyes of the Lord, and 
 
 turned not aside from any thing that 
 he commanded him all the days of his 
 life, save only in the matter of Uriah 
 
 6 the Hittite. Now there was war be- 
 tween 11 Behoboam and Jeroboam all 
 
 7 the days of his life. And the rest of 
 the acts of Abijam, and all that lie 
 did, are they not written in the book 
 of the chronicles of the kings of Ju- 
 dah? And there was war between 
 
 8 Abij am and Jeroboam. 12 And Abij am 
 slept with his fathers ; and they buried 
 him in the city of David : and Asa his 
 son reigned in his stead. 
 
 9 And in the twentieth year of Je- 
 roboam king of Israel began Asa to 
 
 10 reign over Judah. And forty and 
 one years reigned he in Jerusalem: 
 and his mother’s name was Maacah 
 
 lithe daughter of Abishalom. And Asa 
 did that which was right in the eyes of 
 the Lord, as did David his father. 
 
 12 And he put away the sodomites out of 
 the land, and removed all the idols 
 
 13 that his fathers had made. 13 And also 
 Maacah his mother he removed from 
 being 14 queen, because she had made 
 an abominable image 15 for an Asherah ; 
 and Asa cut down her image, and burnt 
 
 14 it at the brook Kidron. But the high 
 places were not taken away : neverthe- 
 less the heart of Asa w r as perfect with 
 
 15 the Lord all his days. And he brought 
 into the house of the Lord the things 
 that his father had dedicated, and the 
 things that himself had dedicated, sil- 
 
 16 ver, and gold, and vessels. And there 
 was war between Asa and Baasha 
 
 17 king of Israel all their days. 16 And 
 Baasha king of Israel went up against 
 J udah, and built Bamah, that he might 
 not suffer any to go out or come in to 
 
 18 Asa king of Judah. Then Asa took all 
 the silver and the gold that were left in 
 the treasures of the house of the Lord, 
 and the treasures of the king’s house, 
 and delivered them into the hand of 
 his servants : and king Asa sent them 
 to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, 
 the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that 
 
 19 dwelt at Damascus, saying, 17 There is 
 a league between me and thee, between 
 my father and thy father: behold, I 
 have sent unto thee a present of silver 
 and gold ; go, break thy league with 
 Baasha king of Israel, that he may 
 
 20 depart from me. And Ben-hadad 
 hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the 
 captains of his armies against the cities 
 of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and 
 Abel - beth - maacah, and all Chinner- 
 
 21 oth, with all the land of Naphtali. And 
 it came to pass, when Baasha heard 
 thereof, that he left off building of Ba- 
 
 22 mah, and dwelt in Tirzah. Then king Asa 
 made a proclamation unto all Judah; 
 none was exempted : and they carried a- 
 way the stones of Bamah, and the timber 
 thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded;

 cording

 slept with his fathers, and was buried

 written in the book of the chronicles of

 the kings of Judah ? But in the time of 
 
 hand of the prophet Jehu the son of 
 
 
 
 his old age he was diseased in his feet. 
 
 Hanani came the word of the Lord 
 
 
 
 24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and 
 
 against Baasha, and against his house, 
 
 
 
 was buried with his fathers in the 
 
 both because of all the evil that he did 
 
 
 
 city of David his father : and Jehosha- 
 
 in the sight of the Lord, to provoke

 him to anger with the work of his 
 
 
 
 25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam be- 
 
 hands, in being like the house of Jero- 
 
 
 
 gan to reign over Israel in the second 
 
 boam, and because he smote 8 him. 
 
 3 Or, it 
 
 
 year of Asa king of Judah, and he 
 
 8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa 
 
 
 
 26 reigned over Israel two years. And 
 
 king of Judah began Elah the son of 
 
 
 
 he did that which was evil in the 
 
 Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, 
 
 
 
 sight of the Lord, and walked in 
 
 9 and reigned two years. And his serv- 
 
 
 
 the way of his father, and in his sin 
 
 ant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, 
 
 
 
 wherewith he made Israel to sin. 
 
 conspired against him : now he was in 
 
 
 
 27 And Baasha the son of Ahijak, of the 
 
 Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the 
 
 
 
 house of Issachar, conspired against 
 
 house of Arza, which was over the 
 
 
 
 him ; and Baasha smote him at Gibbe- 
 
 10 household in Tirzah : and Zimri went 
 
 
 
 thon, which belonged to the Philistines ; 
 
 in and smote him, and killed him, in the 
 
 
 
 for Nadab and all Israel were laying 
 
 twenty and seventh year of Asa king 
 
 
 
 28 siege to Gibbethon. Even in the third 
 
 of Judah, and reigned in his stead. 
 
 
 
 year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha 
 
 11 And it came to pass, when he began to 
 
 
 
 slay him, and reigned in his stead. 
 
 reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, 
 
 
 
 29 And it came to pass that, as soon as he 
 
 that he smote all the house of Baasha : 
 
 
 
 was king, he smote all the house of Je- 
 
 he left him not a single man child, 
 
 
 
 roboam ; he left not to Jeroboam any 
 
 neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his 
 
 
 
 that breathed, until he had destroyed 
 
 12 friends. Thus did Zimri destroy all 
 
 
 
 him ; according unto the saying of the 
 
 the house of Baasha, according to the 
 
 
 
 Lord, which he spake by the hand of 
 
 word of the Lord, which he spake 
 
 
 
 30 his servant Ahijah the Shilonite: for 
 
 against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, 
 
 
 
 the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, 
 
 13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins 
 
 
 
 and wherewith he made Israel to sin ; 
 
 of Elah his son, which they sinned, and 
 
 
 
 because of his provocation wherewith 
 
 wherewith they made Israel to sin, to 
 
 
 
 he provoked the Lord, the God of 
 
 provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to 
 
 
 
 31 Israel, to anger. Now the rest of the 
 
 14 anger with their vanities. Now the rest 
 
 
 
 acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are 
 
 of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, 
 
 
 
 they not written in the book of the

 32 chronicles of the kings of Israel ? And 
 
 chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 
 
 there was war between Asa and Baasha 
 
 15 In the twenty and seventh year of 
 
 
 
 king of Israel all their days. 
 
 Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign 
 
 
 
 33 In the third year of Asa king of 
 
 seven days in Tirzah. Now the peo-

 to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and 
 
 thon, which belonged to the Philistines. 
 
 
 
 34 reigned twenty and four years. And 
 
 16 And the people that were encamped 
 
 
 
 he did that which was evil in the sight 
 
 heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and 
 
 
 
 of the Lord, and walked in the way 
 
 hath also smitten the king: where- 
 
 
 
 of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith 
 
 fore all Israel made Omri, the captain 
 
 
 
 16 lie made Israel to sin. And the word 
 
 of the host, king over Israel that 
 
 
 
 of the Lord came to Jehu the son 
 
 17 day in the camp. And Omri went up 
 
 
 
 of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 
 
 from Gibbethon, and all Israel with 
 
 
 
 2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of 
 
 18 him, and they besieged Tirzah. And 
 
 
 2 Or,

 it came to pass, when Zimri saw that 
 
 
 leader 
 
 my people Israel ; and thou hast

 3 behold, I will utterly sweep away 
 
 sinned in doing that which was evil 
 
 
 
 Baasha and his house ; and I will make 
 
 in the sight of the Lord, in walking in

 midday was past, that they prophesied 
 
 
 
 13 Lord from my youth. Was it not told 
 
 until the time of the offering of the 
 
 
 
 my lord what I did when Jezebel slew 
 
 evening oblation ; but there was neither

 voice, nor any to answer, nor any 
 
 
 
 hundred men of the Lord’s prophets 
 
 30 5 that regarded. And Elijah said unto 
 
 5 Heb. at-

 said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before 
 
 Elijah took twelve stones, according 
 
 
 
 whom I stand, I will surely shew my-

 now, 0 Lord, take away my life ; for I 
 
 
 
 And lie said, Do it the third time ; and 
 
 5 am not better than my fathers. And 
 
 
 
 35 they did it the third time. And the 
 
 he lay down and slept under a juniper

 tree ; and, behold, an angel touched him, 
 
 
 
 he filled the trench also with water. 
 
 6 and said unto him, Arise and eat. And 
 
 
 
 36 And it came to }iass at the time of the 
 
 he looked, and, behold, there was at his 
 
 
 
 offering of the evening oblation, that 
 
 head a cake baken on the 6 coals, and a

 Elijah the prophet came near, and

 Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known 
 
 the angel of the Lord came again the 
 
 
 
 this day that thou art God in Israel,

 Arise and eat; because the journey is

 1 And Moab rebelled against Israel after 
 
 11 And again he sent unto him another 
 
 
 
 2 the death of Ahab. And Ahaziah fell 
 
 captain of fifty with his fifty. And he 
 
 
 
 down through the lattice in his upper 
 
 answered and said unto him, 0 man of 
 
 
 
 chamber that was in Samaria, and was 
 
 God, thus hath the king said, Come 
 
 
 
 sick: and he sent messengers, and 
 
 12 down quickly. And Elij ah answered and 
 
 
 
 said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal- 
 
 said unto them, If I be a man of God, 
 
 
 
 zebub the god of Ekron whether I 
 
 let fire come down from heaven, and 
 
 
 
 3 shall recover of this sickness. But the 
 
 consume thee and thy fifty. And the 
 
 
 
 angel of the Lord said to Elijah the 
 
 fire of God came down from heaven, 
 
 
 
 Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the mes- 
 
 13 and consumed him and his fifty. And 
 
 
 
 sengers of the king of Samaria, and say 
 
 again he sent the captain of a third fifty 
 
 
 
 unto them, Is it because there is no 
 
 with his fifty. And the third captain 
 
 
 
 God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of 
 
 of fifty Avent up, and came and fell on 
 
 
 
 4Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? Now 
 
 his knees before Elijah, and besought 
 
 
 
 therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou 
 
 him, and said unto him, 0 man of God, 
 
 
 
 shalt not come down from the bed 
 
 I pray thee, let my life, and the life 
 
 
 
 whither thou art gone up, but shalt 
 
 of these fifty thy servants, be precious 
 
 
 
 5 surely die. And Elijah departed. And 
 
 14 in thy sight. Behold, there came fire 
 
 
 
 the messengers returned unto him, and 
 
 down from heaven, and consumed 
 
 
 
 he said mito them, Why is it that ye 
 
 the two former captains of fifty with 
 
 
 
 6 are returned? And they said unto him, 
 
 their fifties: but now let my life be 
 
 
 
 There came up a man to meet us, and 
 
 15 precious in thy sight. And the angel of 
 
 
 
 said unto us, Go, turn again unto the 
 
 the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down 
 
 
 
 king that sent you, and say unto him, 
 
 Avith him : be not afraid of him. And he 
 
 
 
 Thus saith the Lord, Is it because there 
 
 arose, and Avent down with him unto the 
 
 
 
 is no God in Israel, that thou sendest 
 
 16 king. And he said unto him, Thus saith 
 
 
 
 to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of 
 
 the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent 
 
 
 
 Ekron ? therefore thou shalt not come 
 
 messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub 
 
 
 
 down from the bed whither thou art 
 
 the god of Ekron, is it because there 
 
 
 
 7 gone up, but shalt surely die. And he 
 
 is no God in Israel to inquire of his 
 
 
 
 said unto them, What manner of man 
 
 word ? therefore thou shalt not come 
 
 
 
 was he which came up to meet you, 
 
 down from the bed whither thou art 
 
 
 
 8 and told you these words? And they 
 
 17 gone up, but shalt surely die. So he died 
 
 
 1 Or, a 
 
 answered him, He was 1 an hairy man, 
 
 according to the word of the Lord which 
 
 
 with a 
 
 and girt with a girdle of leather about 
 
 Elij ah had spoken. And Jehoram began 
 
 
 varment 
 of hair 
 
 his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the 
 
 to reign in his stead in the second year 
 
 
 
 9 Tishbite. Then the king sent unto him 
 
 of Jehoram the son of Jeliosliaphat 
 
 
 
 a captain of fifty with his fifty. And 
 
 king of Judah ; because he had no son. 
 
 
 2 Or, 
 
 he went up to him : and, behold, he 2 sat 
 
 18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah 
 
 
 dwelt 
 
 on the top of the hill. And he spake 
 
 which he did, are they not Avritten in 
 
 
 
 unto him, 0 man of God, the king hath 
 
 the book of the chronicles of the kings 
 
 
 
 10 said, Come down. And Elijah answered 
 
 of Israel? 
 
 
 
 and said to the captain of fifty, If I be 
 
 2 And it came to pass, when the Lord 
 
 
 
 a man of God, let fire come down from 
 
 Avould take up Elijah by a whirlwind 
 
 
 
 heaven, and consume thee and thy 
 
 into heaven, that Elijah went Avitli Eli- 
 
 
 
 fifty. And there came down fire from 
 
 2 sha from Gilgal. And Elijah said unto 
 
 
 
 heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 
 
 Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee ; for the 
 
 
II. KINGS. 
 
 Lord hath sent me as far as Beth-el. 
 And Elisha said, As the Lord liveth, 
 and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave 
 thee. So they went down to Beth- 
 
 3 el. And the sons of the prophets that 
 were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, 
 and said mito him, Knowest thou that 
 the Lord will take away thy master 
 from thy head to-day? And he said, 
 Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 
 
 4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry 
 here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath 
 sent me to Jericho. And he said, As 
 the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, 
 I will not leave thee. So they came to 
 
 5 Jericho. And the sons of the prophets 
 that were at Jericho came near to 
 Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest 
 thou that the Lord will take away thy 
 master from thy head to-day? And he 
 answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye 
 
 6 your peace. And Elijah said unto 
 him, Tarry here, I pray thee ; for the 
 Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he 
 said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy 
 soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And 
 
 7 they two went on. And fifty men of 
 the sons of the prophets went, and 
 stood over against them afar off : and 
 
 8 they two stood by Jordan. And Elijah 
 took his mantle, and wrapped it to- 
 gether, and smote the waters, and they 
 were divided hither and thither, so that 
 they two went over on dry ground. 
 
 9 And it came to pass, 1 when they were 
 gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, 
 Ask what I shall do for thee, before I 
 be taken from thee. And Elisha said, 
 I pray thee, let 2 a double portion of 
 
 10 thy spirit be upon me. And he said, 
 Thou hast asked a hard thing : never- 
 theless, if thou see me when I am taken 
 from thee, it shall be so unto thee ; but 
 
 11 if not, it shall not be so. And it came 
 to pass, as they still went on, and 
 talked, that, behold, there appeared 3 a 
 chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which 
 parted them both asunder; and Elijah 
 went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 
 
 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My 
 father, my father, the 4 chariots of Is- 
 rael and the horsemen thereof! And 
 he saw him no more: and he took 
 hold of his own clothes, and rent them 
 
 13 in two pieces. He took up also the 
 mantle of Elijah that fell from him, 
 and went back, and stood by the bank 
 
 14 of Jordan. And he took the mantle 
 of Elijah that fell from him, and smote 
 the waters, and said, Where is the 
 Lord, 5 the God of Elijah? and when 
 he also had smitten the waters, they 
 were divided hither and thither: and 
 
 15 Elisha went over. And when the sons 
 of the prophets which were at Jericho 
 over against him saw him, they said, 
 The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. 
 And they came to meet him, and bowed 
 themselves to the ground before him. 
 
 16 And they said unto him, Behold now, 
 there be with thy servants fifty strong 
 men; let them go, we pray thee, and 
 seek thy master : lest peradventure 
 the spirit of the Lord hath taken him 
 up, and cast him upon some mountain, 
 or into some valley. And he said, Ye 
 
 17 shall not send. And when they urged 
 him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. 
 They sent therefore fifty men; and 
 they sought three days, but found him 
 
 18 not. And they came back to him, 
 while he tarried at Jericho; and he 
 said unto them, Did I not say unto 
 you, Go not? 
 
 19 And the men of the city said unto 
 Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the situ- 
 ation of this city is pleasant, as my 
 lord seeth: but the water is naught, 
 
 20 and the land 6 miscarrieth. And he 
 said, Bring me a new cruse, and put 
 salt therein. And they brought it to 
 
 21 him. And he went forth unto the 
 spring of the waters, and cast salt 
 therein, and said, Thus saitli the Lord, 
 I have healed these waters; there 
 shall not be from thence any more 
 
 22 death or 7 miscarrying. So the waters 
 were healed unto this day, according 
 to the word of Elisha which he spake. 
 
 23 And he went up from thence unto 
 Beth-el: and as he was going up by 
 the way, there came forth 8 little child- 
 ren out of the city, and mocked him, 
 and said unto him, Go up, thou bald 
 
 24 head; go up, thou bald head. And 
 he looked behind him and saw them, 
 and cursed them in the name of the 
 Lord. And there came forth two 
 slie-bears out of the wood, and tare 
 
 25 forty and two children of them. And 
 he went from thence to mount Car- 
 mel, and from thence he returned to 
 Samaria. 
 
 3 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began 
 to reign over Israel in Samaria in the 
 eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king 
 of Judah, and reigned twelve years. 
 
 2 And he did that which was evil in 
 the sight of the Lord; but not like 
 his father, and like his mother: for 
 he put away the 9 pillar of Baal that 
 
 3 his father had made. Nevertheless 
 he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam 
 the son of Nebat, wherewith he made 
 Israel to sin; he departed not there- 
 from. 
 
 4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep- 
 master ; and he rendered unto the king 
 of Israel 10 the wool of an hundred thou- 
 sand lambs, and of an hundred thou- 
 
 5 sand rams. But it came to pass, when 
 Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab 
 
 6 rebelled against the king of Israel. And 
 king Jehoram went out of Samaria 
 at that time, and mustered all Israel. 
 
 7 And he went and sent to Jehosha- 
 phat the king of Judah, saying, The 
 king of Moab hath rebelled against

 there not here a prophet of the Lord,

 thee, and go with thy servants. And he 
 
 4 answered, I will go. So he went with 
 them. And when they came to Jordan, 
 
 5 they cut down wood. But as one was 
 felling a beam, the axe-head fell into 
 the water : and he cried, and said, Alas, 
 
 6 my master ! for it was borrowed. And 
 the man of God said, Where fell it? 
 And he shewed him the place. And he 
 cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, 
 
 7 and imade the iron to swim. And he 
 said, Take it up to thee. So he put 
 out his hand, and took it. 
 
 8 Now the king of Syria warred against 
 Israel; and he took counsel with his 
 servants, saying, In such and such a 
 
 9 place shall be my 2 camp. And the man 
 of God sent unto the king of Israel, 
 saying, Beware that thou pass not such 
 a place; for thither the Syrians are 
 
 10 coming down. And the king of Israel 
 sent to the place which the man of God 
 told him and warned him of; and he 
 saved himself there, not once nor twice. 
 
 11 And the heart of the king of Syria was 
 sore troubled for this thing; and he 
 called his servants, and said unto them, 
 Will ye not shew me which of us is 
 
 12 for the king of Israel? And one of his 
 servants said, Nay, my lord, 0 king: 
 but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, 
 telleth the king of Israel the words that 
 
 13 thou speakest in thy bedchamber. And 
 he said, Go and see where he is, that 
 I may send and fetch him. And it 
 was told him, saying, Behold, he is in 
 
 14 Dothan. Therefore sent he thither 
 horses, and chariots, and a great host : 
 and they came by night, and compassed 
 
 15 the city about. And when the 3 servant 
 of the man of God was risen early, and 
 gone forth, behold, an host with horses 
 and chariots was round about the city. 
 And his servant said unto him, Alas, 
 
 16 my master ! how shall we do ? And he 
 answered, Fear not : for they that be 
 with us are more than they that be 
 
 17 with them. And Elisha prayed, and 
 said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, 
 that he may see. And the Lord opened 
 the eyes of the young man; and he 
 saw: and, behold, the mountain was 
 full of horses and chariots of fire round 
 
 18 about Elisha. And when they came 
 down to him, Elisha prayed unto the 
 Lord, and said, Smite this 4 people, I 
 pray thee, with blindness. And he 
 smote them with blindness according to 
 
 19 the word of Elisha. And Elisha said 
 unto them, This is not the way, neither 
 is this the city : follow me, and I will 
 bring you to the man whom ye seek. And 
 
 20 he led them to Samaria. And it came 
 to pass, when they were come into Sa- 
 maria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the 
 eyes of these men, that they may see. 
 And the Lord opened their eyes, and 
 they saw ; and, behold, they were in the 
 
 21 midst of Samaria. And the king of 
 
 Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw 
 them, My father, shall I smite them ? 
 
 22 shall I smite them ? And he answered, 
 Thou shalt not smite them : wouldest 
 thou smite those whom thou hast taken 
 captive with thy sword and. with thy 
 bow ? set bread and water before them, 
 that they may eat and drink, and go to 
 
 23 their master. And he prepared great 
 provision for them : and when they had 
 eaten and drunk, he sent them away, 
 and they went to their master. And 
 the bands of Syria came no more into 
 the land of Israel. 
 
 24 And it came to pass after this, that 
 Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all 
 his host, and went up, and besieged 
 
 25 Samaria. And there was a great famine 
 in Samaria : and, behold, they besieged 
 it, until an ass’s head was sold for four- 
 score ^pieces of silver, and the fourth 
 part of a kab of dove’s dung for five 
 
 26 6 pieces of silver. And as the king of 
 Israel was passing by upon the wall, 
 there cried a woman unto him, saying, 
 
 27 Help, my lord, 0 king. And he said, 6 If 
 the Lord do not help thee, whence shall 
 I help thee ? out of the threshing-floor, 
 
 28 or out of the winepress ? And the king 
 said unto her, What aileth thee ? And 
 she answered, This woman said unto 
 me, Give thy son, that we may eat him 
 to-day, and we will eat my son to-mor- 
 
 29 row. So we boiled my son, and did eat 
 him : and I said unto her on the next 
 day, Give thy son, that we may eat 
 
 30 him : and she hath hid her son. And it 
 came to pass, when the king heard the 
 words of the woman, that he rent his 
 clothes ; (now he was passing by upon 
 the wall;) and the people looked, and, 
 behold, he had sackcloth within upon 
 
 31 his flesh. Then he said, God do so to me, 
 and more also, if the head of Elisha the 
 son of Shaphat shall stand on him this 
 
 32 day. But Elisha sat in his house, and the 
 elders sat with him ; and the king sent a 
 man from before him : but ere the mes- 
 senger came to him, he said to the eld- 
 ers, See ye how this son of a murderer 
 hath sent to take away mine head? 
 look, when the messenger cometh, shut 
 the door, and 7 hold the door fast against 
 him : is not the sound of his master’s 
 
 33 feet behind him? And while he yet 
 talked with them, behold, the mes- 
 senger came down unto him: and he 
 said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord ; 
 why should I wait for the Lord any 
 
 7 longer? And Elisha said, Hear ye 
 the word of the Lord : thus saith the 
 Lord, To-morrow about this time shall 
 a 8 measure of fine flour be sold for a 
 shekel, and two measures of barley for 
 2 a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. Then 
 the captain on whose hand the king 
 leaned answered the man of God, and 
 said, Behold, if the Lord should make 
 windows in heaven, might this thing

 of the gate : and the people trode upon

 and they said one to another, Lo, the

 even so unto him ; for the people trode

 32 In those days the Lord began to cut 
 Israel short : and Hazael smote them 
 
 33 in all the coasts of Israel; from Jordan 
 eastward, all the land of Gilead, the 
 Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the 
 Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the 
 valley of Arnon, even Gilead and Ba- 
 
 34 shan. Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, 
 and all that he did, and all his might, 
 are they not written in the book of the 
 
 35 chronicles of the kings of Israel? And 
 Jehu slept with his fathers: and they 
 buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz 
 
 36 his son reigned in his stead. And the 
 time that Jehu reigned over Israel in 
 Samaria was twenty and eight years. 
 
 11 4 Now when Athaliah the mother of 
 Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, 
 she arose and destroyed all the seed 
 
 2 royal. But Jehosheba, the daughter of 
 king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Jo- 
 ash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him 
 away from among the king’s sons that 
 were slain, even him and his nurse, 
 2 and put them in the 3 bedchamber ; and 
 they liid him from Athaliah, so that he 
 
 3 was not slain. And he was with her 
 hid in the house of the Lord six years : 
 and Athaliah reigned over the land. 
 
 4 4 And in the seventh year Jehoiada 
 sent and fetched the captains over 
 hundreds, of the 5 Carites and of the 
 6 guard, and brought them to him into 
 the house of the Lord ; and he made 
 a covenant with them, and took an 
 oath of them in the house of the 
 Lord, and shewed them the king’s 
 
 5 son. And he commanded them, say- 
 ing, This is the thing that ye shall 
 do: a third part of you, that come 
 in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of 
 
 6 the watch of the king’s house ; and a 
 third part shall be at the gate Sur; 
 and a third part at the gate behind 
 the guard : so shall ye keep the watch 
 
 7 of the house, and be a barrier. And 
 the two companies of you, even all 
 that go forth on the sabbath, shall 
 keep the watch of the house of the 
 
 8 Lord about the king. And ye shall 
 compass the king round about, every 
 man with his weapons in his hand; 
 and he that cometh within the ranks, 
 let him be slain : and be ye with the 
 king when he goeth out, and when 
 
 9 he cometh in. And the captains over 
 hundreds did according to all that 
 Jehoiada the priest commanded: and 
 they took every man his men, those 
 that were to come in on the sabbath, 
 with those that were to go out on 
 the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the 
 
 10 priest. And the priest delivered to 
 the captains over hundreds the spears 
 and shields that had been king Da- 
 vid’s, which were in the house of the 
 
 11 Lord. And the guard stood, every 
 man with his weapons in his hand, 
 from the right 7 side of the house to 
 
 the left side of the house, along by the 
 altar and the house, by the king round 
 
 12 about. Then he brought out the king’s 
 son, and 8 put the crown upon him, and 
 gave him the testimony ; and they made 
 him king, and anointed him ; and they 
 clapped their hands, and said, 9 God 
 
 13 save the king. And when Athaliah 
 heard the noise of the guard and o/the 
 people, she came to the people into the 
 
 14 house of the Lord : and she looked, and, 
 behold, the king stood 10 by the pillar, 
 as the manner was, and the captains 
 and the trumpets by the king ; and all 
 the people of the land rej oiced, and blew 
 with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent 
 her clothes, and cried, Treason, treason. 
 
 15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded 
 the captains of hundreds that were 
 set over the host, and said unto them, 
 Have her forth between the ranks; 
 and him that followeth her slay with 
 the sword : for the priest said, Let her 
 not be slain in the house of the Lord. 
 
 16 So they made way for her; and she went 
 by the way of the horses’ entry to the 
 king’s house : and there was she slain. 
 
 17 And Jehoiada made a covenant be- 
 tween the Lord and the king and the 
 people, that they should be the Lord’s 
 people ; between the king also and the 
 
 18 people. And all the people of the land 
 went to the house of Baal, and brake 
 it down; his altars and his images 
 brake they in pieces thoroughly, and 
 slew Mattan the priest of Baal before 
 the altars. And the priest appointed 
 
 11 officers over the house of the Lord. 
 
 19 And he took the captains over hund- 
 reds, and the Carites, and the guard, 
 and all the people of the land; and 
 they brought down the king from the 
 house of the Lord, and came by the 
 way of the gate of the guard unto the 
 king’s house. And he sat on the 
 
 20 throne of the kings. So all the people 
 of the land rejoiced, and the city was 
 quiet: and they slew Athaliah with 
 the sword at the king’s house. 
 
 21 Jehoash was seven years old when 
 
 12 he began to reign. In the seventh 
 
 year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign ; 
 and he reigned forty years in Jeru- 
 salem: and his mother’s name was 
 
 2Zibiah of Beer-sheba. And Jehoash 
 did that which was right in the eyes 
 of the Lord all his days wherein Je- 
 
 3 hoiada the priest instructed him. How- 
 beit the high places were not taken 
 away: the people still sacrificed and 
 burnt incense in the high places. 
 
 4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All 
 the money of the hallowed things that 
 is brought into the house of the Lord, 
 
 12 in current money, 13 the money of 
 the persons for whom each man is 
 rated, and all the money that it com-

 into the city. Then J oab came to J eru- 
 
 16 salem. And when the Syrians saw that 
 they were put to the worse before Israel, 
 they sent messengers, and drew forth 
 the Syrians that were beyond the River, 
 with Shophach the captain of the 
 
 17 host of Hadarezer at their head. And 
 it was told David ; and he gathered all 
 Israel together, and passed over J ordan, 
 and came upon them, and set the 
 battle in array against them. So when 
 David had put the battle in array 
 against the Syrians, they fought with 
 
 18 him. And the Syrians fled before Israel ; 
 and David slew of the Syrians the men 
 
 1 of seven thousand chariots, and forty 
 thousand footmen, and killed Shophach 
 
 19 the captain of the host. And when the 
 servants of Hadarezer saw that they 
 were put to the worse before Israel, they 
 made peace with David, and served 
 him: neither would the Syrians help 
 the children of Ammon any more. 
 
 20 4 And it came to pass, at the time of 
 the return of the year, at the time when 
 kings go out to battle , that Joab led 
 forth the power of the army, and wasted 
 the country of the children of Ammon, 
 and came and besieged Rabbah. But 
 David tarried at Jerusalem. And 2 Joab 
 
 2 smote Rabbah, and overthrew it. 3 And 
 David took the crown of 4 their king 
 from off his head, and found it to weigh 
 a talent of gold, and there were precious 
 stones in it; and it was set upon Da- 
 vid’s head: and he brought forth the 
 
 8 spoil of the city, exceeding much. And 
 he brought forth the people that were 
 therein, and cut them with saws, and 
 with harrows of iron, and with axes. 
 And thus did David unto all the cities of 
 the children of Ammon. And David and 
 all the people returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 4 5 And it came to pass after this, that 
 there arose war at 6 Gezer with the 
 Philistines: then Sibbecai the Husli- 
 athite slew Sippai, of the sons of the 
 
 5 7 giant : and they were subdued. And 
 there was again war with the Philis- 
 tines; and Elhanan the son of Jair 
 slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the 
 Gittite, the staff of whose spear was 
 
 6 like a weaver’s beam. And there was 
 again war at Gath, where was a man 
 of great stature, whose fingers and 
 toes were four and twenty, six on each 
 handy and six on each foot ; and he also 
 
 7 was born unto the 8 giant. And when 
 he 9 defied Israel, Jonathan the son 
 of Shimea David’s brother slew him. 
 
 8 These were born unto the 8 giant in 
 Gath; and they fell by the hand of 
 David, and by the hand of his servants. 
 
 21 10 And 11 Satan stood up against Israel, 
 and moved David to number Israel. 
 
 2 And David said to Joab and to the 
 princes of the people, Go, number 
 Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; 
 and bring me word, that I may know 
 
 323 
 
 3 the sum of them. And Joab said, The 
 Lord make his people an hundred times 
 so many more as they be: but, my 
 lord the king, are they not all my lord’s 
 servants? why doth my lord require 
 this thing ? why will he be a cause of 
 
 4 guilt unto Israel? Nevertheless the 
 king’s word prevailed against Joab. 
 Wherefore Joab departed, and went 
 throughout all Israel, and came to 
 
 5 Jerusalem. And Joab gave up the 
 sum of the numbering of the people un- 
 to David. And all they of Israel were 
 a thousand thousand and an hundred 
 thousand men that drew sword: and 
 Judah was four hundred threescore and 
 ten thousand men that drew sword. 
 
 6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not 
 among them: for the king’s word was 
 
 7 abominable to Joab. And God was 
 displeased with this thing; therefore 
 
 8 he smote Israel. And David said unto 
 God, I have sinned greatly, in that I 
 have done this thing: but now, put 
 away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy 
 servant ; for I have done very foolishty. 
 
 9 And the Lord spake unto Gad, David’s 
 
 10 seer, saying, Go and speak unto Da- 
 vid, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I 
 12 offer thee three things ; choose thee 
 one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 
 
 11 So Gad came to David, and said unto 
 him, Thus saith the Lord, Take which 
 
 12 thou wilt ; either three years of famine ; 
 or three months to be consumed before 
 thy foes, while that the sword of thine 
 enemies overtaketh thee ; or else three 
 days the sword of the Lord, 13 even 
 pestilence in the land, and the angel 
 of the Lord destroying throughout all 
 the coasts of Israel. Now therefore 
 consider what answer I shall return 
 
 13 to him that sent me. And David said 
 unto Gad, I am in a great strait : let me 
 fall now into the hand of the Lord; for 
 very 14 great are his mercies: and let 
 
 14 me not fall into the hand of man. So 
 the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel : 
 and there fell of Israel seventy thou- 
 
 15 sand men. And God sent an angel 
 unto Jerusalem to destroy it : and as 
 he was about to destroy, the Lord be- 
 held, and he repented him of the evil, 
 and said to the destroying angel, It is 
 enough; now stay thine hand. And the 
 angel of the Lord stood by the thresh- 
 
 16ing-floor of 15 Oman the Jebusite. And 
 David lifted up his eyes, and saw the 
 angel of the Lord stand between the 
 earth and the heaven, having a drawn 
 sword in his hand stretched out over 
 Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, 
 clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their 
 
 17 faces. And David said unto God, Is 
 it not I that commanded the people to 
 be numbered? even I it is that have 
 sinned and done very wickedly; but 
 these sheep, what have they done? 
 let thine hand. I pray thee, 0 Lord

 to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood

 abundantly, and hast made great wars : 
 
 
 
 bowed himself to David with his face 
 
 thou shalt not build an house unto my

 Oman, Give me the place of this 
 
 blood upon the earth in my sight: 
 
 
 
 threshing-floor, that I may build there-

 on an altar unto the Lord: for the

 give him rest from all liis enemies 
 
 
 
 the plague may be stayed from the

 nor offer a burnt offering without cost.

 and the fat of the peace offerings : be- 
 cause the brasen altar which Solomon 
 had made was not able to receive the 
 burnt offering, and the meal offering, 
 
 8 and the fat. So Solomon held the feast 
 at that time seven days, and all Israel 
 with him, a very great congregation, 
 from the entering in of Hamath unto 
 
 9 the brook of Egypt. And on the eighth 
 day they held a 3 solemn assembly : for 
 they kept the dedication of the altar 
 seven days, and the feast seven days. 
 
 10 And on the three and twentieth day of 
 the seventh month he sent the people 
 away unto their tents, joyful and glad 
 of heart for the goodness that the 
 Lord had shewed unto David, and to 
 Solomon, and to Israel his people. 
 
 11 4 Thus Solomon finished the house of 
 the Lord, and the king’s house: and 
 all that came into Solomon’s heart to 
 make in the house of the Lord, and 
 in his own house, he prosperously 
 
 12 effected. And the Lord appeared to 
 Solomon by night, and said unto him, 
 I have heard thy prayer, and have 
 chosen this place to myself for an 
 
 13 house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven 
 that there be no rain, or if I com- 
 mand the locust to devour the land, or 
 if I send pestilence among my people; 
 
 14 if my people, 5 which are called by 
 my name, shall humble themselves, 
 and pray, and seek my face, and turn 
 from their wicked ways; then will I 
 hear from heaven, and will forgive 
 their sin, and will heal their land. 
 
 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and 
 mine ears attent, unto the prayer that 
 
 16 is made in this place. For now have I 
 chosen and hallowed this house, that 
 my name may be there for ever : and 
 mine eyes and mine heart shall be there 
 
 17 perpetually. And as for thee, if thou 
 wilt walk before me as David thy fa- 
 ther walked, and do according to all 
 that I have commanded thee, and wilt 
 keep my statutes and my judgements; 
 
 18 then I will establish the throne of thy 
 kingdom, according as I covenanted 
 with David thy father, saying, There 
 
 shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in 
 
 19 Israel. But if ye turn away, and for- 
 sake my statutes and my command- 
 ments which I have set before you, and 
 shall go and serve other gods, and wor- 
 
 20 ship them : then will I pluck them up by 
 the roots out of my land which I have 
 given them ; and this house, which I 
 have hallowed for my name, will I cast 
 out of my sight, and I will make it 
 a proverb and a byword among all 
 
 21 peoples. And this house, which is so 
 high, every one that passe tli by it shall 
 be astonished, and shall say, Why hath 
 the Lord done thus unto this land, and 
 
 22 to this house ? And they shall answer, 
 Because they forsook the Lord, the 
 God of their fathers, which brought 
 them forth out of the land of Egypt, and 
 laid hold on other gods, and worshipped 
 them, and served them : therefore hath 
 he brought all this evil upon them. 
 
 8 6 And it came to pass at the end of 
 twenty years, wherein Solomon had 
 built the house of the Lord, and his 
 
 2 own house, that the cities which Huram 
 had given to Solomon, Solomon built 
 them, and caused the children of Israel 
 to dwell there. 
 
 3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, 
 
 4 and prevailed against it. And he built 
 Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the 
 store cities, which he built in Hamath. 
 
 5 Also he built Beth-lioron the upper, and 
 Betli-horon the nether, fenced cities, 
 
 6 with walls, gates, and bars ; and Baal- 
 ath, and all the store cities that Sol- 
 omon had, and all the cities for his 
 chariots, and the cities for his horse- 
 men, and all that Solomon desired to 
 build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and 
 in Lebanon, and in all the land of his 
 
 7 dominion. As for all the people that 
 were left of the Hittites, and the Amor- 
 ites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiv- 
 ites, and the Jebusites, which were 
 
 Snot of Israel; of their children that 
 were left after them in the land, whom 
 the children of Israel consumed not, 
 of them did Solomon raise a levy of 
 
 9 bondservants , unto this day. But of the 
 children of Israel did Solomon make no 
 servants for his work ; but they were 
 men of war, and chief of his captains, 
 and rulers of his chariots and of his 
 
 10 horsemen. And these were the chief of- 
 ficers of king Solomon, even two hund- 
 red and fifty, that bare rule over the 
 
 11 people. And Solomon brought up the 
 daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of 
 David unto the house that he had built 
 for her : for he said, My wife shall not 
 dwell in the house of David king of Is- 
 rael, because 7 the places are holy, wliere- 
 unto the ark of the Lord hath come. 
 
 12 Then Solomon offered burnt offer- 
 ings unto the Lord on the altar of 
 the Lord, which he had built before 
 
 13 the porch, even as the duty of every

 16 concerning the treasures. Now all the 
 
 soever she asked, beside that which she

 there was war between Abijah and Je- 
 
 
 4 and the Ethiopians. And he took the 
 fenced cities which pertained to Judah, 
 
 5 and came unto Jerusalem. Now She- 
 maiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, 
 and to the ininces of Judah, that were 
 gathered together to Jerusalem be- 
 cause of Shishak, and said unto them, 
 Thus saith the Lord, Ye have for- 
 saken me, therefore have I also left 
 
 6 you in the hand of Shishak. Then the 
 induces of Israel and the king hum- 
 bled themselves; and they said, The 
 
 7 Lord is righteous. And when the 
 Lord saw that they humbled them- 
 selves, the word of the Lord came to 
 Sliemaiali, saying, They have humbled 
 themselves; I will not destroy them: 
 
 3 roboam. And Abij ah j oined battle with 
 an army of valiant men of war, even 
 four hundred thousand chosen men: 
 and Jeroboam set the battle in array 
 against him with eight hundred thou- 
 sand chosen men, who were mighty men 
 
 4 of valour. And Abijah stood up upon 
 mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill 
 country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, 
 
 5 0 Jeroboam and all Israel; ought ye 
 not to know that the Lord, the God of 
 Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel 
 to David for ever, even to him and to 
 
 6 his sons by a covenant of salt ? Yet Je- 
 roboam the son of Nebat, the servant of 
 Solomon the son of David, rose up, and 
 
 7 rebelled against his lord. And there

 were gathered unto him vain men, sons 
 of 1 Belial, which strengthened them- 
 selves against Behoboam the son of 
 Solomon, when Kelioboam was young 
 and tenderhearted, and could not with- 
 
 8 stand them. And now ye think to 
 withstand the kingdom of the Lord in 
 the hand of the sons of David ; and ye 
 be a great multitude, and there are 
 with you the golden calves which Jero- 
 
 9 boam made you for gods. Have ye not 
 driven out the priests of the Lord, the 
 sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have 
 made you priests after the manner of 
 the peoples of other lands ? so that who- 
 soever cometh to consecrate himself 
 with a young bullock and seven rams, 
 the same may be a priest of them that 
 
 10 are no gods. But as for us, the Lord 
 is our Hod, and we have not forsaken 
 him ; and we have priests ministering 
 unto the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and 
 
 lithe Levites in their work: and they 
 burn unto the Lord every morning and 
 every evening burnt offerings and sweet 
 incense: the shewbread also set they 
 in order upon the pure table ; and the 
 candlestick of gold with the lamps 
 thereof, to burn every evening : for we 
 keep the charge of the Lord our God ; 
 
 12 but ye have forsaken him. And, behold, 
 God is with us at our head, and his 
 priests with the trumpets of alarm to 
 sound an alarm against you. 0 children 
 of Israel, fight ye not against the Lord, 
 the God of your fathers; for ye shall 
 
 13 not prosper. But Jeroboam caused 
 an ambushment to come about behind 
 them: so they were before Judah, and 
 the ambushment was behind them. 
 
 14 And when Judah looked back, behold, 
 the battle was before and behind them : 
 and they cried unto the Lord, and the 
 priests sounded with the trumpets. 
 
 15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: 
 and as the men of Judah shouted, it 
 came to pass, that God smote Jero- 
 boam and all Israel before Abijah and 
 
 16 Judah. And the children of Israel 
 fled before Judah : and God delivered 
 
 17 them into their hand. And Abijah 
 and his people slew them with a great 
 slaughter: so there fell down slain of 
 Israel five hundred thousand chosen 
 
 18 men. Thus the children of Israel were 
 brought under at that time, and the 
 children of Judah prevailed, because 
 they relied upon the Lord, the God 
 
 19 of their fathers. And Abijah pursued 
 after Jeroboam, and took cities from 
 him, Betli-el with the towns thereof, 
 and J eslianah with the towns thereof, 
 and 2 Epliron with the towns thereof. 
 
 20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength 
 again in the days of Abijah: and the 
 
 21 Lord smote him, and he died. But 
 Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto 
 himself fourteen wives, and begat 
 twenty and two sons, and sixteen 
 
 22 daughters. And the rest of the acts of 
 Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, 
 are written in the commentary of the 
 prophet Iddo. 
 
 14 3 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and 
 they buried him in the city of David, 
 and Asa his son reigned in his stead : 
 in his days the land was quiet ten 
 
 2 years. And Asa did that which was 
 good and right in the eyes of the Lord 
 
 3 his God : for he took away the strange 
 altars, and the high places, and brake 
 down the 4 pillars, and hewed down 
 
 4 the 5 Asherim; and commanded Judah 
 to seek the Lord, the God of their 
 fathers, and to do the law and the com- 
 
 5 mandment. Also he took away out of 
 all the cities of Judah the high places 
 and the sun-images : and the kingdom 
 
 6 was quiet before him. And he built 
 fenced cities in Judah: for the land 
 was quiet, and he had no war in those 
 years; because the Lord had given 
 
 7 him rest. For he said unto Judah, Let 
 us build these cities, and make about 
 them walls, and towers, gates, and 
 bars ; the land is yet before us, because 
 we have sought the Lord our God ; we 
 have sought him, and he hath given 
 us rest on every side. So they built 
 
 8 and prospered. And Asa had an army 
 that bare bucklers and spears, out of 
 Judah three hundred thousand; and 
 out of Benjamin, that bare shields and 
 drew bows, two hundred and fourscore 
 thousand : all these were mighty men 
 
 9 of valour. And there came out against 
 them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army 
 of a thousand thousand, and three hund- 
 red chariots ; and he came unto Mare- 
 
 10 shah. Then Asa went out to meet him, 
 and they set the battle in array in the 
 
 11 valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. And 
 Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and 
 said, Lord, 6 there is none 7 beside thee 
 to help, between the mighty and him 
 that hath no strength: help us, O 
 Lord our God ; for we rely on tliee, and 
 in thy name are we come against this 
 multitude. 0 Lord, thou art our God; 
 
 12 let not man prevail against thee. So 
 the Lord smote the Ethiopians before 
 Asa, and before Judah; andtheEtliio- 
 
 13pians fled. And Asa and the people 
 that were with him pursued them unto 
 Gerar : and there fell of the Ethiopians 
 8 so many that they could not recover 
 themselves; for they were 9 destroyed 
 before the Lord, and before his host; 
 and. they carried away very much booty. 
 
 14 And they smote all the cities round about 
 Gerar ; for 10 the fear of the LopD came 
 upon them: and they spoiled all the 
 cities ; for there was much spoil in them . 
 
 15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and 
 carried away sheep in abundance and 
 camels, and returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 15 And the spirit of God came upon 
 
 2 Azariah the son of Oded : and he

 all Israel scattered upon the mountains, 
 as sheep that have no shepherd : and 
 the Loud said, These have no master ; 
 let them return every man to his house 
 
 17 in peace. And the king of Israel said 
 to Jelioshaphat, Did I not tell thee 
 that he would not prophesy good con- 
 
 18 cerning me, but evil? And he said, 
 Therefore hear ye the word of the 
 Lord : I saw the Lord sitting upon his 
 throne, and all the host of heaven 
 standing on his right hand and on his 
 
 19 left. And the Lord said, Who shall 
 1 entice Aliab king of Israel, that he 
 may go up and fall at Bamotli-gilead ? 
 And one spake saying after this man- 
 ner, and another saying after that man- 
 
 *20ner. And there came forth 2 a spirit, 
 and stood before the Lord, and said, I 
 will entice him. And the Lord said 
 
 ‘21 unto him, Wherewith ? And he said, I 
 will go forth, and will be a lying spirit 
 in the mouth of all his prophets. And 
 he said, Thou slialt entice him, and 
 shalt prevail also : go forth, and do so. 
 
 ‘22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath 
 put a tying spirit in the mouth of 
 these thy prophets ; and the Lord hath

 Zedekiali the son of Chenaanah came 
 near, and smote Micaiali upon the 
 cheek, and said, Which way went the 
 spirit of the Lord from me to speak 
 
 24 unto thee ? And Micaiali said, Behold, 
 thou shalt see on that day, when thou 
 shalt go 3 into an inner chamber to hide 
 
 25 thyself. And the king of Israel said, 
 Take ye Micaiali, and carry him back 
 unto Amon the governor of the city, and 
 
 26 to Joash the king’s son ; and say, Thus 
 saitli the king, Put this fellow in the 
 prison, and feed him with bread of 
 affliction and with water of affliction, 
 
 27 until I return in peace. And Micaiali 
 said, If thou return at all in peace, the 
 Lord hath not spoken by me. And he 
 said, 4 Hear, ye peoples, all of you. 
 
 28 So the king of Israel and Jelioshaphat 
 the king of Judah went up to Eamotli- 
 
 29 gilead. And the king of Israel said unto 
 Jelioshaphat, I will disguise myself, 
 and go into the battle ; but put thou on 
 thy robes. So the king of Israel dis- 
 guised himself ; and they went into the 
 
 80 battle. Now the king of Syria had com- 
 manded the captains of his chariots, 
 saying, Fight neither with small nor 
 great, save only with the king of Israel. 
 
 81 And it came to pass, when the captains 
 of the chariots saw Jelioshaphat, that 
 they said, It is the king of Israel. There- 
 fore they turned about to fight against 
 him: but Jelioshaphat cried out, and 
 the Lord helped him ; and God moved 
 
 82 them to depart from him. And it came 
 to pass, when the captains of the chariots 
 saw that it was not the king of Israel, 
 that they turned back from pursuing 
 
 33 him. And a certain man drew his 
 
 bow 5 at a venture, and smote the king 
 of Israel between 6 the joints of the 
 harness: wherefore he said to the 
 driver of the chariot, Turn thine hand, 
 and carry me out of the host; for I 
 
 34 am sore wounded. And the battle in- 
 creased that day : howbeit the king of 
 Israel stayed himself up in his chariot 
 against the Syrians until the even : 
 and about the time of the going down 
 of the sun he died. 
 
 19 And Jelioshaphat the king of Judah 
 returned to his house in peace to Jeru- 
 
 2 salem. And Jehu the son of Hanani 
 the seer went out to meet him, and said 
 to king Jelioshaphat, Shouldest thou 
 help the wicked, and love them that 
 hate the Lord? for this thing wrath 
 is upon thee from before the Lord. 
 
 3 Nevertheless there are good things 
 found in thee, in that thou hast put 
 away the Aslieroth out of the land, 
 and hast set thine heart to seek God. 
 
 4 And J eliosliapliat dwelt at J er usalem : 
 and he went out again among the peo- 
 ple from Beer- sheba to the hill country 
 of Ephraim, and brought them back un- 
 to the Lord, the God of their fathers. 
 
 5 And he set judges in the land through- 
 out all the fenced cities of Judah, city 
 
 6 by city, and said to the judges, Con- 
 sider what ye do : for ye judge not for 
 man, but for the Lord ; and he is with 
 
 7 you 7 in the judgement. Now therefore 
 let the fear of the Lord be upon you ; 
 take heed and do it: for there is no 
 iniquity with the Lord our God, nor 
 respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. 
 
 8 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jelioslia- 
 pliat set of the Levites and the priests, 
 and of the heads of the fathers’ houses 
 of Israel, for the judgement of the Lord, 
 and for controversies. And they re- 
 
 9 turned to Jerusalem. And he charged 
 them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the 
 fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with 
 
 10 a perfect heart. And whensoever any 
 controversy shall come to you from 
 your brethren that dwell in their cities, 
 between blood and blood, between law 
 and commandment, statutes and judge- 
 ments, ye shall warn them, that they 
 be not guilty towards the Lord, and 
 so wrath come upon you and upon 
 your brethren: this do, and ye shall 
 
 11 not be guilty. And, behold, Amariali 
 the chief priest is over you in all 
 matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah 
 the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the 
 house of Judah, in all the king’s mat- 
 ters : also the Levites shall be officers 
 before you. 8 Deal courageously, and 
 the Lord be with the good. 
 
 20 And it came to pass after this, that 
 the children of Moab, and the children 
 of Ammon, and with them some of the 
 9 Ammonites, came against Jehoshaiiliat 
 
 2 to battle. Then there came some that 
 told Jelioshaphat, saying, There cometli

 in the book of the kings of Israel and 
 
 8 Judah. He was five and twenty years 
 old when he began to reign, and reigned 
 
 9 sixteen years in Jerusalem. And Jo- 
 tliam slept with his fathers, and they 
 buried him in the city of David : and 
 Aliaz his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 28 1 Aliaz was twenty years old when 
 he began to reign; and he reigned 
 sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he 
 did not that which was right in the 
 eyes of the Lord, like David his father : 
 
 2 but he walked in the ways of the kings 
 of Israel, and made also molten images 
 
 3 for the Baalim. Moreover he burnt 
 incense in the valley of the son of 
 Hinnom, and burnt his children in the 
 fire, according to the abominations of 
 the heathen, whom the Lord cast out 
 
 4 before the children of Israel. And 
 he sacrificed and burnt incense in the 
 high places, and on the hills, and 
 
 5 under every green tree. Wherefore 
 the Lord his God delivered him into 
 the hand of the king of Syria; and 
 they smote him, and carried away of 
 his a great multitude of captives, and 
 brought them to Damascus. And he 
 was also delivered into the hand of the 
 king of Israel, who smote him with a 
 
 6 great slaughter. For Pekah the son of 
 Remaliali slew in Judah an hundred 
 and twenty thousand in one day, all of 
 them valiant men; because they had 
 forsaken the Lord, the God of their 
 
 7 fathers. And Zicliri, a mighty man of 
 Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, 
 and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and 
 Elkanali that was 2 next to the king. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel carried away 
 captive of their brethren two hundred 
 thousand, women, sons, and daughters, 
 and took also away much spoil from 
 them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 
 
 9 But a prophet of the Lord was there, 
 whose name was Oded: and he went 
 out to meet the host that came to 
 Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, 
 because the Lord, the God of your 
 fathers, was wroth with Judah, he hath 
 delivered them into your hand, and ye 
 have slain them in a rage which hath 
 
 10 reached up unto heaven. And now ye 
 purpose to keep under the children of 
 Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and 
 bondwomen unto you: but are there 
 not even with you 3 trespasses of your 
 
 11 own against the Lord your God? Now 
 hear me therefore, and send back the 
 captives, which ye have taken captive 
 of your brethren : for the tierce wrath 
 
 12 of the Lord is upon you. Then certain 
 of the heads of the children of Ephraim, 
 Azariali the son of Johanan, Berecliiah 
 the son of Mesliillemotli, and Jehiz- 
 kiah the son of Sliallum, and Amasa 
 the son of Hadlai, stood up against 
 
 13 them that came from the war, and 
 said unto them, Ye shall not bring in 
 
 the captives hither : for ye purpose that 
 which will bring upon us 4 a trespass 
 against the Lord, to add unto our sins 
 and to our 4 trespass: for our 4 tres- 
 pass is great, and there is fierce wrath 
 
 14 against Israel. So the armed men left 
 the captives and the spoil before the 
 
 15 princes and all the congregation. And 
 the men which have been expressed 
 by name rose up, and took the captives, 
 and with the spoil clothed all that were 
 naked among them, and arrayed them, 
 and shod them, and gave them to eat 
 and to drink, and anointed them, and 
 carried all the feeble of them upon 
 asses, and brought them to Jericho, the 
 city of palm trees, unto their brethren : 
 then they returned to Samaria. 
 
 16 5 At that time did king Aliaz send 
 unto the 6 kings of Assyria to help 
 
 17 him. For again the Edomites had 
 come and smitten Judah, and carried 
 
 18 away 7 captives. The Philistines also 
 had invaded the cities of the lowland, 
 and of the South of Judah, and had 
 taken Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and 
 Gederotli, and Soco with the 8 towns 
 thereof, and Timnali with the 8 towns 
 thereof, Gimzo also and the 8 towns 
 
 19 thereof : and they dwelt there. For the 
 Lord brought Judah low because of 
 Aliaz king of Israel ; for he had 9 dealt 
 wantonly in Judah, and trespassed sore 
 
 20 against the Lord. And Tilgatli-pilneser 
 king of Assyria came 10 unto him, and 
 distressed him, but 11 strengthened him 
 
 21 not. For Aliaz took away a portion out 
 of the house of the Lord, and out of the 
 house of the king and of the princes, 
 and gave it unto the king of Assyria: 
 
 22 but it helped him not. And in the time 
 12 of his distress did he trespass yet 
 more against the Lord, this same king 
 
 23 Aliaz. For he sacrificed unto the gods 
 of 13 Damascus, which smote him: and 
 he said, Because the gods of the kings 
 of Syria helped them, therefore will I 
 sacrifice to them, that they may help me. 
 But they were the ruin of him, and of 
 
 24 all Israel. And Aliaz gathered together 
 the vessels of the house of God, and cut 
 in pieces the vessels of the house of 
 God, and shut up the doors of the house 
 of the Lord ; and he made him altars 
 
 25 in every corner of Jerusalem. And in 
 every several city of Judah he made 
 high places to burn incense unto other 
 gods, and provoked to anger the Lord, 
 
 26 the God of his fathers. Now the rest of 
 his acts, and all his ways, first and last, 
 behold, they are written in the book 
 
 27 of the kings of Judah and Israel. And 
 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they 
 buried him in the city, even in Jeru- 
 salem ; for they brought him not into the 
 sepulchres of the kings of Israel : and 
 Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 29 14 Hezekiah began to reign when 
 he was five and twenty years old;

 there was not the like in Jerusalem.

 32 1 After these things, and this faith- 
 fulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria 
 came, and entered into Judah, and 
 encamped against the fenced cities, 
 and thought 2 to win them for him- 
 
 2 self. And when Hezekiah saw that 
 Sennacherib was come, and that 3 he 
 was purposed to fight against Jerusa- 
 
 3 lem, he took counsel with his princes 
 and his mighty men to stop the waters 
 of the fountains which were without 
 
 4 the city; and they helped him. So 
 there was gathered much people to- 
 gether, and they stopped all the 
 fountains, and the brook that flowed 
 through the midst of the land, saying, 
 Why should the kings of Assyria come, 
 
 5 and find much water? And he took 
 courage, and built up all the wall that 
 was broken down, and 4 raised it up to 
 the towers, and 5 the other wall with- 
 out, and strengthened Millo in the city 
 of David, and made weapons and shields 
 
 6 in abundance. And he set captains of 
 war over the people, and gathered them 
 together to him in the broad place at 
 the gate of the city, and spake com- 
 
 7fortably to them, saying, Be strong 
 and of a good courage, be not afraid 
 nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, 
 nor for all the multitude that is with 
 him: for 6 there is a greater with us 
 
 8 than with him : with him is an arm of 
 flesh; but with us is the Lord our 
 God to help us, and to fight our battles. 
 And the people rested themselves upon 
 the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 
 
 9 After this did Sennacherib king of 
 Assyria send his servants to Jerusa- 
 lem, (now he w’as before Lachish, and 
 all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah 
 king of Judah, and unto all Judah that 
 
 10 were at Jerusalem, saying, Thus saitli 
 Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon 
 do ye trust, that ye abide 7 the siege 
 
 11 in Jerusalem? Doth not Hezekiah per- 
 suad.e you, to give you over to die by 
 famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord 
 our God shall deliver us out of the 
 
 12 hand of the king of Assyria? Hath 
 not the same Hezekiah taken away his 
 high places and his altars, and com- 
 manded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 
 Ye shall worship before one altar, and 
 
 13 upon it shall ye burn incense ? Know ye 
 not what I and my fathers have done 
 unto all the peoples of the lands ? Were 
 the gods of the nations of the lands 
 any ways able to deliver their land out 
 
 14 of mine hand ? Who was there among 
 all the gods of those nations which my 
 fathers 8 utterly destroyed, that could 
 deliver his people out of mine hand, 
 that your God should be able to deliver 
 
 15 you out of mine hand? Now therefore 
 let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor 
 persuade you on this manner, neither 
 believe ye him: for no god of any 
 nation or kingdom was able to deliver 
 his people out of mine hand, and out of 
 the hand of my fathers : how much less 
 shall your 9 God deliver you out of 
 
 16 mine hand ? And his servants spake yet 
 more against the Lord God, and against 
 
 17 his servant Hezekiah. He wrote also 
 
 10 letters, to rail on the Lord, the God 
 of Israel, and to speak against him, 
 saying, As the gods of the nations of 
 the lands, which have not delivered 
 their people out of mine hand, so shall 
 not the God of Hezekiah deliver his 
 
 18 people out of mine hand. And they 
 cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ 
 language unto the people of Jerusalem 
 that were on the wall, to affright them , 
 and to trouble them ; that they might 
 
 19 take the city. And they spake of the 
 God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of 
 the peoples of the earth, which are the 
 
 20 work of men’s hands. And Hezekiah 
 the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son 
 of Amoz, prayed because of this, and 
 
 21 cried to heaven. And the Lord sent 
 an angel, which cut off all the mighty 
 men of valour, and the leaders and 
 captains, in the camp of the king of 
 Assyria. So he returned with shame 
 of face to his own land. And when he 
 was come into the house of his god, 
 they that came forth of his own bowels 
 
 11 slew him there with the sword. 
 
 22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem from 
 the hand of Sennacherib the king of 
 Assyria, and from the hand of all other , 
 
 23 and guided them on every side. And 
 many brought gifts unto the Lord 
 to Jerusalem, and precious things to 
 Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he 
 was exalted in the sight of all nations 
 from thenceforth. 
 
 24 12 In those days Hezekiah was sick even 
 unto death: and he prayed unto the 
 Lord ; and he spake unto him, and gave 
 
 25 him a 13 sign. But Hezekiah rendered 
 not again according to the benefit done 
 unto him ; for his heart was lifted up : 
 therefore there was wrath upon him, 
 
 26 and upon Judah and Jerusalem. Not- 
 withstanding Hezekiah humbled him- 
 self for 14 the pride of his heart, both he 
 and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so 
 that the wrath of the Lord came not 
 upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 
 
 27 And Hezekiah had exceeding much 
 riches and honour : and he provided him 
 treasuries for silver, and for gold, and 
 for precious stones, and for spices, and 
 for shields, and for all manner of good- 
 
 28 ly vessels ; storehouses also for the in- 
 crease of corn and wine and oil; and 
 stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks 
 
 29 in folds. Moreover he provided him

 58 the children of 8 Ami. All the Nethin- 
 im, and the children of Solomon’s serv- 
 ants, were three hundred ninety and 
 
 59 two. And these were they which went 
 up fromTel-melah, Tei-harsha, Cherub, 
 9 Addan, and Immer : but they could not 
 shew their fathers’ houses, and their 
 
 60 seed, whether they were of Israel : the 
 children of Delaiah, the children of To- 
 biah, the children of Nekoda, six liund- 
 
 61 red fifty and two. And of the children of 
 the priests : the children of 10 Habaiah, 
 the children of Hakkoz, the children of 
 Barzillai, which took awif e of the daugh- 
 ters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was 
 
 62 called after their name. These sought 
 their register among those that were 
 reckoned by genealogy, but they were 
 not found : therefore 11 were they deemed 
 polluted and put from the priesthood. 
 
 63 And the 12 Tirshatha said unto them, 
 that they should not eat of the most holy 
 things, till there stood up a priest with 
 
 64 U rim and with Thummim. The whole 
 congregation together was forty and 
 two thousand three hundred and three- 
 
 65 score, beside their menservants and 
 their maidservants, of whom there were 
 seven thousand three hundred thirty 
 
 and seven: and they had two hund- 
 red singing men and singing women. 
 
 66 Their horses were seven hundred thirty 
 and six ; their mules, two hundred forty 
 
 67 and five ; their camels, four hundred 
 thirty and five ; their asses, six thou- 
 
 68 sand seven hundred and twenty. And 
 some of the heads of fathers’ houses, 
 when they came to the house of the 
 Lord which is in Jerusalem, offered 
 willingly for the house of God to set it 
 
 69 up in its place : they gave after their 
 ability into the treasury of the work 
 threescore and one thousand darics of 
 gold, and five thousand 13 pound of sil- 
 ver, and one hundred priests’ garments. 
 
 70 So the priests, and the Levites, and 
 some of the people, and the singers, and 
 the porters, and the Nethinim, dwelt in 
 their cities, and all Israel in their cities. 
 
 3 14 And when the seventh month was 
 come, and the children of Israel were 
 in the cities, the people gathered them- 
 selves together as one man to J erusalem. 
 
 2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Joza- 
 dak, and his brethren the priests, and 
 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his 
 brethren, and builded the altar of the 
 God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings 
 thereon, as it is written in the law of 
 
 3 Moses the man of God. And they set 
 the altar 15 upon its base ; for fear was 
 upon them because of the people of the 
 countries : and they offered burnt offer- 
 ings thereon unto the Lord, even burnt 
 
 4 offerings morning and evening. And 
 they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it 
 is written, and offered the daily burnt 
 offerings by number, according to the 
 ordinance, as the duty of every day re- 
 
 5 quired ; and afterward the continual 
 burnt offering, and the offerings of the 
 new moons, and of all the set feasts of 
 the Lord that were consecrated, and of 
 every one that willingly offered a free- 
 
 6 will offering unto the Lord. From the 
 first day of the seventh month began 
 they to offer burnt offerings unto the 
 Lord : but the foundation of the tem- 
 
 7 pie of the Lord was not yet laid. They 
 gave money also unto the 16 masons, 
 and to the carpenters ; and meat, and 
 drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and 
 to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees 
 from Lebanon to the sea, unto Joppa, 
 according to the grant that they had of 
 Cyrus king of Persia. 
 
 8 Now in the second year of their 
 coming unto the house of God at Jeru- 
 salem, in the second month, began 
 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and 
 Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the 
 rest of their brethren the priests and the 
 Levites, and all they that were come 
 out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; 
 and appointed the Levites, from twen- 
 ty years old and upward, to 17 have the 
 oversight of the work of the house 
 
 9 of the Lord. Then stood Jeshua

 12 the Lord was laid. But many of the 
 priests and Levites and heads of fathers’

 13 Be it known iioav unto the king, that, if

 4 Now when the adversaries of Judah 
 and Benjamin heard that the children 
 of the captivity builded a temple unto 
 2 the Lord, the God of Israel ; then they 
 drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the 
 heads of fathers’ houses , and said unto 
 them, Let us build with you: for we 
 seek your God, as ye do; 5 and Ave do 
 
 find in the book of the records, and 
 know that this city is a rebellious city, 
 and hurtful unto kings and provinces,

 year of the reign of Darius king of 
 Persia. 
 
 5 Now the prophets, Haggai the 
 prophet, and Zechariah the son of 
 Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that 
 were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the 
 name of the God of Israel 1 j)roj)he- 
 
 \ laied they unto them. Then rose up 
 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and 
 Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began 
 to build the house of God which is at 
 Jerusalem; and with them were the 
 
 3 prophets of God, helping them. At 
 the same time came to them Tattenai, 
 the governor beyond the river, and 
 Sliethar-bozenai, and their companions, 
 and said thus unto them, Who gave 
 you a decree to build this house, and to 
 
 4 finish this wall? 2 Then spake we unto 
 them after this manner, What are the 
 names of the men that make this build - 
 
 5 ing ? But the eye of their God was upon 
 the elders of the Jews, and they did not 
 make them cease, till the matter should 
 come to Darius, and then 3 answer should 
 be returned by letter concerning it. 
 
 6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, 
 the governor beyond the river, and 
 Slietliar-bozenai, and his companions 
 the Apharsachites, which were beyond 
 the river, sent unto Darius the king: 
 
 7 they sent a letter unto him, wherein 
 was written thus; Unto Darius the 
 
 8 king, all peace. Be it known unto the 
 king, that we went into the province of 
 Judah, to the house of the great God, 
 which is builded with great stones, and 
 timber is laid in the walls, and this 
 work goeth on with diligence and pros- 
 
 9 pereth in their hands. Then asked we 
 those elders, and said unto them thus, 
 Who gave you a decree to build this 
 
 10 house, and to finish this wall? We 
 asked them their names also, to certify 
 thee, that we might write the names 
 of the men that were at the head of 
 
 11 them. And thus they returned us an- 
 swer, saying, We are the servants of 
 the God of heaven and earth, and build 
 the house that was builded these many 
 years ago, which a great king of Israel 
 
 12 builded and finished. But 4 after that 
 our fathers had provoked the God of 
 heaven unto wrath, he gave them into 
 the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of 
 Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed 
 this house, and carried the people away 
 
 13 into Babylon. But in the first year of 
 Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king 
 made a decree to build this house of 
 
 14 God. And the gold and silver vessels 
 also of the house of God, which Nebu- 
 chadnezzar took out of the temple that 
 was in Jerusalem, and brought them 
 into the temple of Babylon, those did 
 Cyrus the king take out of the temple 
 of Babylon, and they were delivered 
 unto one whose name was Sheshbaz- 
 zar, whom he had made governor; 
 
 15 and he said unto him, Take these ves- 
 sels, go, put them in the temple that 
 is in Jerusalem, and let the house of 
 
 16 God be builded in its place. Then 
 came the same Slieshbazzar, and laid 
 the foundations of the house of God 
 which is in Jerusalem : and since that 
 time even until now hath it been in 
 building, and yet it is not completed. 
 
 17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the 
 king, let there be search made in the 
 king’s treasure house, which is there at 
 Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree 
 was made of Cyrus the king to build 
 this house of God at Jerusalem, and let 
 the king send his pleasure to us con- 
 cerning this matter. 
 
 6 Then Darius the king made a decree, 
 and search was made in the house of 
 the 5 archives, where the treasures were 
 
 2 laid up in Babylon. And there was 
 found at 6 Achmetha, in the palace that 
 is in the province of Media, a roll, and 
 therein was thus written for a record. 
 
 3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cy- 
 rus the king made a decree ; Concern- 
 ing the house of God at Jerusalem, let 
 the house be builded, the place where 
 they offer sacrifices, and let the found- 
 ations thereof be strongly laid; the 
 height thereof threescore cubits, and the 
 
 4 breadth thereof threescore cubits ; with 
 three rows of great stones, and 7 a row 
 of new timber: and let the expenses 
 
 5 be given out of the king’s house : and 
 also let the gold and silver vessels of 
 the house of God, which Nebuchad- 
 nezzar took forth out of the temple 
 which is at Jerusalem, and brought 
 unto Babylon, be restored, and brought 
 again unto the temple which is at Jeru- 
 salem, every one to its place, and thou 
 shalt put them in the house of God. 
 
 6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor be- 
 yond the river, Slietliar-bozenai, and 
 8 your companions the Apharsachites, 
 which are beyond the river, be ye far 
 
 7 from thence: let the work of this 
 house of God alone ; let the governor 
 of the Jews and the elders of the Jews 
 build this house of God in its place. 
 
 8 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall 
 do to these elders of the Jews for the 
 building of this house of God : that of 
 the king’s goods, even of the tribute 
 beyond the river, expenses be given 
 with all diligence unto these men, that 
 
 9 they be not hindered. And that which 
 they have need of, both young bullocks, 
 and rams, and lambs, for burnt offer- 
 ings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, 
 wine, and oil, according to the word 
 of the priests which are at Jerusalem, 
 let it be given them day by day witli- 
 
 10 out fail : that they may offer sacrifices 
 of sweet savour unto the God of hea- 
 ven, and pray for the life of the king, 
 
 11 and of his sons. Also I have made a 
 decree, that whosoever shall alter this

 be strong, and eat the good of the land, 
 
 
 
 the princes drew near unto me, saying,

 2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one 
 of the sons of Elam, answered and said 
 unto Ezra, We have trespassed against 
 our God, and have married strange 
 women of the peoples of the land : yet 
 now there is hope for Israel concerning 
 
 3 this thing. Now therefore let us make 
 a covenant with our God to put away 
 all the wives, and such as are born of 
 them, according to the counsel of x my 
 lord, and of those that tremble at the 
 commandment of our God; and let it 
 
 4 be done according to the law. Arise ; 
 for the matter belongeth unto thee, and 
 we are with thee : be of good courage, 
 
 5 and do it. Then arose Ezra, and made 
 the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, 
 and all Israel, to swear that they would 
 do according to this word. So they 
 
 6 sware. Then Ezra rose up from before 
 the house of God, and went into the 
 chamber of Jeholianan the son of Elia- 
 shib: 2 and when he came thither, he 
 did eat no bread, nor drink water : for 
 he mourned because of the trespass 
 
 7 of them of the captivity. And they 
 made proclamation throughout Judali 
 and Jerusalem unto all the children of 
 the captivity, that they should gather 
 themselves together unto Jerusalem; 
 
 Sand that whosoever came not within 
 three days, according to the counsel of 
 the princes and the elders, all his sub- 
 stance should be 3 forfeited, and him- 
 self separated from the congregation 
 
 9 of the captivity. Then all the men of 
 Judah and Benjamin gathered them- 
 selves together unto Jerusalem within 
 the three days ; it was the ninth month, 
 on the twentieth day of the month: 
 and all the people sat in the broad 
 place before the house of God, trem- 
 bling because of this matter, and for 
 
 10 4 the great rain. And Ezra the priest 
 stood up, and said unto them, Ye have 
 trespassed, and have married strange 
 women, to increase the guilt of Israel. 
 
 11 Now therefore 5 make confession unto 
 the Lord, the God of your fathers, and 
 do his pleasure: and separate your- 
 selves from the peoples of the land, 
 
 12 and from the strange women. Then 
 all the congregation answered and said 
 with a loud voice, 6 As thou hast said 
 
 13 concerning us, so must we do. But 
 the people are many, and it is a time 
 of much rain, and we are not able to 
 stand without, neither is this a work 
 of one day or two: for we have great - 
 
 14 ly transgressed in this matter. Let 
 now our princes 7 be appointed for 
 all the congregation, and let all them 
 that are in our cities which have mar- 
 ried strange women come at appointed 
 times, and with them the elders of 
 every city, and the judges thereof, 
 until the fierce wrath of our God be 
 turned from us, 8 until this matter be 
 
 15 despatched. Only Jonathan the son 
 of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of 
 Tikvah 9 stood up against this matter'. 
 and Meshullam and Sliabbetliai the 
 
 16 Levite helped them. And the children 
 of the captivity did so. And Ezra the 
 priest, with, certain heads of fathers’ 
 houses , after their fathers’ houses, and 
 all of them by their names, were separ- 
 ated; and they sat down in the first 
 day of the tenth month to examine the 
 
 17 matter. And they made an end with 
 all the men that had married strange 
 women by the first day of the first 
 
 18 month. And among the sons of the 
 priests there were found that had mar- 
 ried strange women: namely , of the 
 sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, 
 and his brethren, Maaseiali, and Eli- 
 
 19 ezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. And 
 they gave their hand that they would 
 put away their wives ; and being guilty, 
 they offered a ram of the flock for their 
 
 20 guilt. And of the sons of Immer; 
 
 21Hanani and Zebadiali. And of the 
 
 sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, 
 and Shemaiali, and Jehiel, and Uzziali.

 25Telem, and Uri. And of Israel: of the

 I The 1 words of Neliemiali tlie son of 
 Hacaliali. 
 
 I Now it came to pass in the month 
 Chislev, 2 in the twentieth year, as I 
 ! 2 was in Shushan the 3 palace, that Han- 
 ani, one of my brethren, came, he and 
 certain men out of Judah ; and I asked 
 ; them concerning the Jews that had 
 j escaped, which were left of the captivi- 
 
 8 ty , and concerning J er usalem . And they 
 said unto me, The remnant that are left 
 of the captivity there in the province 
 ; are in great affliction and reproach : the 
 wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, 
 and the gates thereof are burned with 
 
 4 fire. And it came to pass, when I heard 
 these words, that I sat down and wept, 
 and mourned certain days ; and I fasted 
 and prayed before the God of heaven, 
 
 5 and said, I beseech thee, O Lord, the 
 God of heaven, the great and terrible 
 God, that keepeth covenant and mercy 
 
 I with them that love him and keep his 
 
 6 commandments : let thine ear now be 
 attentive, and thine eyes open, that 
 thou mayest hearken unto the prayer 
 of thy servant, which I pray before 
 thee at this time, day and night, for 
 the children of Israel thy servants, 
 while I confess the sins of the children 
 of Israel, which we have sinned against 
 thee: yea, I and my father’s house 
 
 7 have sinned. We have dealt very cor- 
 j ruptly against thee, and have not kept 
 
 the commandments, nor the statutes, 
 nor the judgements, which thou com- 
 ! Bmandedst thy servant Moses. Re- 
 | • member, I beseech thee, the word that 
 thou commandedst thy servant Moses, 
 sajdng, If ye trespass, I will scatter 
 
 9 you abroad among the peoples: but 
 if ye return unto me, and keep my 
 commandments and do them, though 
 your outcasts were in the uttermost 
 part of the heaven, yet will I gather 
 them from thence, and will bring them 
 unto the place that I have chosen to 
 10 cause my name to dwell there. Now 
 these are thy servants and thy people, 
 whom thou hast redeemed by thy great 
 
 II power, and by thy strong hand. O 
 Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear 
 be attentive to the prayer of thy serv- 
 ant, and to the prayer of thy servants, 
 who delight to fear thy name: and 
 prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this 
 day, and grant him mercy in the sight 
 of this m^in. (Now I was cupbearer 
 to the king.) 
 
 2 And it came to pass in the month 
 Nisan, in the twentieth year of Arta- 
 xerxes the king, when wine was before 
 him, that I took up the wine, and gave 
 it unto the king. Now I had not been 
 
 ‘Ibeforetime sad in his presence. And 
 the king said unto me, Why is thy 
 countenance sad, seeing thou art not 
 sick ? this is nothing else but sorrow of 
 heart. Then I was very sore afraid. 
 
 8 And I said unto the king, Let the king 
 live for ever : why should not my coun- 
 tenance be sad, when the city, the place 
 of my fathers* sepulchres, lieth waste, 
 and the gates thereof are consumed 
 
 4 with fire? Then the king said unto 
 me, For what dost thou make request ? 
 So I prayed to the God of heaven. 
 
 5 And I said unto the king, If it please 
 the king, and if thy servant have found 
 favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest 
 send me unto Judah, unto the city of 
 my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build 
 
 6 it. And the king said unto me, (the 
 queen also sitting by him,) For how 
 long shall thy journey be? and when 
 wilt thou return? So it pleased the 
 king to send me ; and I set him a time. 
 
 7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it 
 please the king, let letters be given me 
 to the governors beyond the river, that 
 they may let me pass through till I 
 
 8 come unto Judah; and a letter unto 
 Asaph the keeper of the king’s 4 forest, 
 that he may give me timber to make 
 beams for the gates of the castle which 
 appertaineth to the house, and for the 
 wall of the city, and for the house that 
 I shall enter into. And the king grant- 
 ed me, according to the good hand of 
 
 9 my God upon me. Then I came to the 
 governors beyond the river, and gave 
 them the king’s letters. Now the king 
 had sent with me captains of the army 
 
 10 and horsemen. And when Sanballat 
 the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, 
 the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved 
 them exceedingly, for that there was 
 come a man to seek the welfare of the 
 
 11 children of Israel. So I came to Jeru- 
 
 12 salem, and was there three days. And 
 I arose in the night, I and some few 
 men with me ; neither told I any man 
 what my God put into my heart to 
 do for Jerusalem: neither was there 
 any beast with me, save the beast 
 
 IB that I rode upon'. And I went out 
 by night by the valley gate, even to- 
 ward the dragon’s well, and to the

 unto them repaired Rephaiah the son 
 
 
 
 viewed the wall; and I turned back, 
 
 of Hur, the ruler of half the district of

 16 returned. And the 1 rulers knew not 
 
 paired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, 
 
 
 dejjiltii 
 
 whither I went, or what I did ; neither 
 
 even over against his house. And next

 unto him repaired Hattush the son of

 11 Hashabneiah. Malcliijah the son of

 Harim, and Hasshub the son of Pahath-

 moab, repaired another portion, and 
 
 
 
 see the evil case that we are in, how 
 
 12 the tower of the furnaces. And next 
 
 
 
 Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates

 13 The valley gate repaired Hanun, and 
 
 
 
 18 And I told them of the hand of my 
 
 the inhabitants of Zanoah ; they built

 it, and set up the doors thereof, the 
 
 
 
 also of the king’s words that he had 
 
 bolts thereof, and the bars thereof, 
 
 
 
 spoken unto me. And they said, Let us 
 
 and a thousand cubits of the wall un- 
 
 
 
 rise up and build. So they strength- 
 
 14 to the dung gate. And the dung gate 
 
 
 
 ened their hands for the good worh. 
 
 repaired Malcliijah the son of Rechab, 
 
 
 
 19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and

 we wrought in the work : and half of 
 them held the spears from the rising

 provoked thee to anger before the

 all the wall was joined together unto 
 half the height thereof : for the people 
 had a mind to work.

 shut, and commanded that they should 
 not be opened till after the sabbath: 
 and some of my servants set I over 
 the gates, that there should no burden 
 
 ‘20 be brought in on the sabbath day. So 
 the merchants and sellers of all kind 
 of ware lodged without Jerusalem once 
 
 21 or twice. Then I testified against them, 
 and said unto them, Why lodge ye 
 
 1 about the wall ? if ye do so again, I 
 will lay hands on you. From that 
 time forth came they no more on the 
 
 22 sabbath. And I commanded the Levites 
 that they should purify themselves, 
 and that they should come and keep 
 the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. 
 Remember unto me, O my God, this 
 also, and spare me according to the 
 greatness of thy mercy. 
 
 23 In those days also saw I the Jews that 
 
 2 had married women of Ashdod, of 
 
 24 Ammon, and of Moab : and their child- 
 ren spake half in the speech of Ashdod, 
 and could not speak iii the Jews’ lan- 
 guage, but according to the language 
 
 25 of each people. And I contended with 
 them, and 3 cursed them, and smote 
 
 certain of them, and plucked off their 
 hair, and made them swear by God, 
 saying , Ye shall not give your daughters 
 unto their sons, nor take their daughters 
 
 26 for your sons, or for yourselves. Did 
 not Solomon king of Israel sin by these 
 things ? yet among many nations was 
 there no king like him, and he was be- 
 loved of his God, and God made him 
 king over all Israel : nevertheless even 
 him did strange women cause to sin. 
 
 27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do 
 all this great evil, to trespass against 
 our God in marrying strange women ? 
 
 28 And one of the sons of Joiada, the son 
 of Eliasliib the high priest, was son in 
 law to Sanballat the Horonite : there- 
 
 29 fore I chased him from me. Remember 
 them, 0 my God, 4 because they have 
 defiled the priesthood, and the coven- 
 ant of the priesthood, and of the Le- 
 
 30 vites. Thus cleansed I them from 5 all 
 strangers, and appointed wards for the 
 priests and for the Levites, every one in 
 
 31 his work; and for the wood offering, at 
 times appointed, and for the firstfruits. 
 Remember me, O my God, for good.

 1 Now it came to pass in the days of 
 1 Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which 
 reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, 
 over an hundred and seven and twenty 
 
 2 provinces:) that in those days, when 
 the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne 
 of his kingdom, which was in Shushan 
 
 3 the 2 palace, in the third year of his 
 reign, he made a feast unto all his 
 princes and his servants; the power 
 of Persia and Media, the nobles and 
 princes of the provinces, being before 
 
 4 him: when he shewed the riches of 
 his glorious kingdom and the honour 
 of his excellent majesty many days, 
 even an hundred and fourscore days. 
 
 5 And when these days were fulfilled, 
 the king made a feast unto all the peo- 
 ple that were present in Shushan the 
 palace, both great and small, seven 
 days, in the court of the garden of the 
 
 6 king’s palace; there were hangings of f 
 3 white cloth, of 4 green, and of blue, 
 fastened with cords of fine linen and 
 purple to silver rings and pillars of mar- 
 ble : the couches were of gold and sil- 
 ver, upon a pavement 5 of red, and white, ! 
 
 7 and yellow, and black marble. And 
 they gave them drink in vessels of gold, 1 
 (the vessels being diverse one from 
 another,) and royal wine in abundance, I 
 according to the 6 7 bounty of the king. i 
 
 8 And the drinking was according to the 
 law; none could compel: for so the 
 king had appointed to all the officers 
 of his house, that they should do ac- 
 
 9 cording to every man’s pleasure. Also 
 Vasliti the queen made a feast for the 
 women in the royal house which be- 
 
 10 longed to king Ahasuerus. On the 
 seventh day, when the heart of the 
 king was merry with wine, he command- 
 ed Mehuman, Biztlia, Harbona, Bigtlia, 
 and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the 
 seven 7 chamberlains that ministered 
 in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, 
 
 11 to bring Yashti the queen before the 
 king with the crown royal, to shew the 
 peoples and the princes her beauty: 
 
 12 for she was fair to look on. But the 
 queen Yashti refused to come at the 
 king’s commandment by the chamber- 
 lains: therefore was the king very 
 wroth, and his anger burned in him. 
 
 13 Then the king said to the wise men, 
 which knew the times, (for so was the 
 king’s manner toward all that knew 
 
 14 law and judgement ; and the next unto 
 him was Carshena, Slietliar, Admatlia , 
 Tarshisli, Meres, Marsena, and Memu- 
 can, the seven princes of Persia and 
 Media, which saw the king’s face, and 
 
 15 sat first in the kingdom :) What shall we

 even Esther’s feast ; and he made a 1 re-

 according to the 2 bounty of the king. 
 
 19 And when the virgins were gathered to- 
 gether the second time, then Mordecai 
 
 20 sat in the king’s gate. Esther had not 
 yet shewed her kindred nor her people ; 
 as Mordecai had charged her: for 
 Esther did the commandment of Mor- 
 decai, like as when she was brought 
 
 21 up with him. In those days, while 
 Mordecai sat in the king’s gate, two of 
 the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and 
 Teresli, of those which kept the 3 door, 
 were wroth, and sought to lay hands 
 
 22 on the king Ahasuerus. And the thing 
 was known to Mordecai, who shewed 
 it unto Esther the queen; and Esther 
 told the king thereof in Mordecai’ s 
 
 23 name. And when inquisition was made 
 of the matter, and it was found to be 
 so, they were both hanged on a tree : 
 and it was written in the book of the 
 chronicles before the king. 
 
 3 After these things did king Ahasuerus 
 promote Hainan the son of Hamme- 
 datlia the Agagite, and advanced him, 
 and set his seat above all the princes 
 
 2 that were with him. And all the king’s 
 servants, that were in the king’s gate, 
 bowed down, and did reverence to Ha- 
 inan : for the king had so commanded 
 concerning him. But Mordecai bowed 
 
 3 not down, nor did him reverence. Then 
 the king’s servants, that were in the 
 king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why 
 transgressest thou the king’s command- 
 
 4 ment ? Now it came to pass, when they 
 spake daily unto him, and he hearkened 
 not unto them, that they told Hainan, 
 to see whether Mordecai’s 4 matters 
 would stand: for he had told them 
 
 5 that he was a Jew. And when Haman 
 saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor 
 did him reverence, then was Haman 
 
 6 full of wrath. But he thought scorn to 
 lay hands on Mordecai alone ; for they 
 had shewed him the people of Mordecai : 
 wherefore Haman sought to destroy 
 all the Jews that were throughout the 
 whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the 
 
 7 people of Mordecai. In the first month, 
 which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth 
 year of king Aliasuerus, they cast Pur, 
 that is, the lot, before Haman from day 
 to day, and from month to month, to 
 the twelfth month, which is the month 
 
 SAdar. And Haman said unto king 
 Ahasuerus, There is a certain people 
 scattered abroad and 5 dispersed among 
 the peoples in all the provinces of thy 
 kingdom; and their laws are diverse 
 from those of every people; neither 
 keep they the king’s laws : therefore it 
 is not 6 for the king’s profit to suffer 
 
 9 them. If it please the king, let it be 
 written that they be destroyed : and I 
 will pay ten thousand talents of silver 
 into the hands of those that have the 
 
 379 
 
 charge of the king's business, to bring it 
 
 10 into the king’s treasuries. And the king 
 took his ring from his hand, and gave 
 it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha 
 
 lithe Agagite, the Jews’ enemy. And 
 the king said unto Haman, The silver 
 is given to thee, the people also, to do 
 with them as it seemeth good to thee. 
 
 12 Then were the king’s 7 scribes called in 
 the first month, on the thirteenth day 
 thereof, and there was written accord- 
 ing to all that Haman commanded unto 
 the king’s satraps, and to the governors 
 that were over every province, and to 
 the princes of every people ; to every 
 province according to the writing there- 
 of, and to every people after their lan- 
 guage ; in the name of king Ahasuerus 
 was it written, and it was sealed with 
 
 13 the king’s ring. And letters were sent 
 by posts into all the king’s provinces, 
 to destroy, to slay, and to cause to 
 perish, all Jews, both young and old, 
 little children and women, in one day, 
 even upon the thirteenth day of the 
 twelfth month, which is the month 
 Adar, and to take the spoil of them for 
 
 14 a prey. A copy of the writing, 8 that 
 the decree should be given out in every 
 province, was published unto all the 
 peoples, that they should be ready a- 
 
 15 gainst that day. The posts went forth 
 in haste by the king’s commandment, 
 and the decree was given out in Sliu- 
 slian the palace: and the king and 
 Haman sat down to drink; but the 
 city of Shushan was perplexed. 
 
 4 Now when Mordecai knew all that was 
 done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and 
 put on sackcloth with ashes, and went 
 out into the midst of the city, and cried 
 
 2 with a loud and a bitter cry : and he 
 came even before the king’s gate : for 
 none might enter within the king’s 
 
 3 gate clothed with sackcloth. And 
 in every province, whithersoever the 
 king’s commandment and his decree 
 came, there was great mourning among 
 the J ews, and fasting, and weeping, and 
 wailing; and 9 many lay in sackcloth 
 
 4 and ashes. And Esther’s maidens and 
 her chamberlains came and told it her ; 
 and the queen was exceedingly grieved : 
 and she sent raiment to clothe Morde- 
 cai, and to take his sackcloth from off 
 
 5 him: but he received it not. Then called 
 Esther for Hathach, one of the king’s 
 chamberlains, whom he had appointed 
 to attend upon her, and charged him 
 to go to Mordecai, to know what this 
 
 6 was, and why it was. So Hathach 
 went forth to Mordecai unto the broad 
 place of the city, which was before the 
 
 7 king’s gate. And Mordecai told him of 
 all that had happened unto him, and the 
 exact sum of the money that Haman 
 had promised to pay to the king’s 
 treasuries for the Jews, to destroy 
 
 8 them. Also he gave him the copy of the

 8 is ; if I have found favour in the sight

 Hathach, and gave him a message 
 
 request, let the king and Haman come

 12 king these thirty days. And they told 
 
 11 friends and Zeresli his wife. And Ha- 
 
 
 
 13 to Mordecai Esther’s words. Then Mor- 
 
 man recounted unto them the glory of

 his riches, and the multitude of his 
 
 
 
 Esther, Think not with thyself that

 13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so 
 
 
 
 16 return answer unto Mordecai, Go, 
 
 long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting 
 
 
 
 gather together all the Jews that are 
 
 14 at the king’s gate. Then said Zeresh

 JOB. 
 
 Why did I not give up the ghost when 
 I came out of the belly ? 
 
 12 Why did the knees receive me ? 
 
 Or why the breasts, that I should suck ? 
 
 13 For now should I have lien down and 
 
 been quiet ; 
 
 I should have slept ; then had I been at 
 rest : 
 
 14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, 
 Which 1 built up waste places for them- 
 selves ; 
 
 15 Or with princes that had gold, 
 
 Who filled their houses with silver : 
 
 16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had 
 
 not been ; 
 
 As infants which never saw light. 
 
 17 There the wicked cease from 2 trou- 
 
 bling ; 
 
 And there the weary be at rest. 
 
 18 There the prisoners are at ease together ; 
 They hear not the voice of the task- 
 master. 
 
 19 The small and great are there ; 
 
 And the servant is free from his 
 master. 
 
 20 Wherefore is light given to him that is 
 
 in misery, 
 
 And life unto the bitter in soul ; 
 
 21 Which 3 long for death, but it cometh not; 
 And dig for it more than for hid trea- 
 sures ; 
 
 22 Which rejoice 4 exceedingly, 
 
 And are glad, when they can find the 
 grave ? 
 
 23 Why is light given to a man whose way 
 
 is hid, 
 
 And whom God hath hedged in ? 
 
 24 For my sighing cometh 5 before I eat, 
 And my roarings are poured out like 
 
 water. 
 
 25 For 6 the thing which I fear cometh 
 
 upon me, 
 
 And that which I am afraid of cometh 
 unto me. 
 
 26 7 1 am not at ease, neither am I quiet, 
 
 neither have I rest ; 
 
 But trouble cometh. 
 
 4 Then answered Elipliaz the Temanite, 
 and said, 
 
 2 If one assay to commune with thee, 
 
 wilt thou be grieved ? 
 
 But who can withhold himself from 
 speaking ? 
 
 3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, 
 And thou hast strengthened the weak 
 
 hands. 
 
 4 Thy words have upholden him that 
 
 was falling, 
 
 And thou hast confirmed the 8 feeble 
 knees. 
 
 5 But now it is come unto thee, and thou 
 
 9 faintest; 
 
 It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 
 
 6 Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, 
 And thy hope the integrity of thy ways ? 
 
 7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever 
 
 perished, being innocent ? 
 
 Or where were the upright cut off ? 
 
 8 According as I have seen, they that 
 
 plow iniquity, 
 
 And sow 10 trouble, reap the same. 
 
 9 By the breath of God they perish, 
 
 And by the blast of his anger are they 
 
 consumed. 
 
 10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice 
 
 of the fierce lion, 
 
 And the teeth of the young lions, are 
 broken. 
 
 11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, 
 And the whelps of the lioness are 
 
 scattered abroad. 
 
 12 Now a thing was 11 secretly brought to 
 
 me, 
 
 And mine ear received a whisper 
 thereof. 
 
 13 In thoughts from the visions of the 
 
 night, 
 
 When deep sleep falleth on men, 
 
 14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, 
 Which made all my bones to shake. 
 
 15 Then 12 a spirit passed before my face; 
 The hair of my flesh stood up. 
 
 16 It stood still, but I could not discern 
 
 the appearance thereof ; 
 
 A form was before mine eyes : 
 
 13 There was silence, and I heard a 
 voice, saying , 
 
 17 Shall mortal man 14 be more just than 
 
 God? 
 
 Shall a man 15 be more pure than his 
 Maker ? 
 
 18 Behold, he putteth no trust in his 
 
 servants ; 
 
 And his angels he chargeth with folly : 
 
 19 How much more them that dwell in 
 
 houses of clay, 
 
 Whose foundation is in the dust, 
 Which are crushed 16 before the moth! 
 20 17 Betwixt morning and evening they 
 are 18 destroyed: 
 
 They perish for ever without any re- 
 garding it. 
 
 21 19 Is not their tent-cord plucked up 
 within them ? 
 
 They die, and that without wisdom. 
 
 5 Call now; is there any that will answer 
 thee ? 
 
 And to which of the 20 holy ones wilt 
 thou turn ? 
 
 2 For vexation killeth the foolish man, 
 And 21 jealousy slayeth the silly one. 
 
 3 1 have seen the foolish taking root : 
 But suddenly I cursed his habitation. 
 
 4 His children are far from safety, 
 
 And they are crushed in the gate, 
 Neither is there any to deliver them. 
 
 5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, 
 And taketh it even out of the thorns, 
 And 22 the snare gapeth for their sub- 
 stance. 
 
 6 For 23 affliction cometh not forth of the 
 
 dust, 
 
 Neither doth trouble spring out of the 
 ground ; 
 
 7 But man is born unto trouble, 
 
 As 24 the sparks fly upward.

 Marvellous things without number : 
 
 10 Who givetli rain upon the earth, 
 
 And sendeth waters upon the fields : 
 
 11 So that he setteth up on high those that 
 
 be low ; 
 
 And those which mourn are exalted to 
 safety. 
 
 12 Hefrustrateth the devices of the crafty, 
 So that their hands 1 cannot perform 
 
 their enterprise. 
 
 13 He taketh the wise in their own crafti- 
 
 ness : 
 
 And the counsel of the froward is 
 carried headlong. 
 
 14 They meet with darkness in the day- 
 
 time, 
 
 And grope at noonday as in the night. 
 
 15 But he saveth from the sword 2 of their 
 
 mouth, 
 
 Even the needy from the hand of the 
 mighty. 
 
 16 So the poor hath hope, 
 
 And iniquity stoppetli her mouth. 
 
 17 Behold, happy is the man whom God 
 
 3 correcteth: 
 
 Therefore despise not thou the chasten- 
 ing of the Almighty. 
 
 18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up ; 
 He woundeth, and his hands make 
 
 whole. 
 
 19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles ; 
 Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch 
 
 thee. 
 
 20 In famine he shall redeem thee from 
 
 death ; 
 
 And in war from the power of the sword. 
 
 21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of 
 
 the tongue ; 
 
 Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruc- 
 tion when it cometh. 
 
 22 At destruction and dearth thou shalt 
 
 laugh ; 
 
 Neither shalt thou be afraid of the 
 beasts of the earth. 
 
 23 For thou shalt be in league with the 
 
 stones of the field ; 
 
 And the beasts of the field shall be at 
 peace with thee. 
 
 24 And thou shalt know that thy tent is 
 
 in peace ; 
 
 And thou shalt visit thy 4 fold, and 
 5 shalt miss nothing. 
 
 25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed 
 
 shall be great, 
 
 And thine offspring as the grass of the 
 earth. 
 
 26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full 
 
 age, 
 
 Like as a shock of corn cometh in in 
 its season. 
 
 27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is ; 
 Hear it, and know thou it 6 for thy good. 
 
 0 Then Job answered and said, 
 
 2 Oh that my vexation were but weighed, 
 
 And my calamity laid in the balances 
 together ! 
 
 3 For now it would be heavier than the 
 
 sand of the seas : 
 
 Therefore have my words been rash. 
 
 4 For the arrows of the Almighty are 
 
 within me, 
 
 The poison whereof my spirit drinketli 
 up: 
 
 The terrors of God do set themselves 
 in array against me. 
 
 5 Both the wild ass bray when he hath 
 
 grass ? 
 
 Or loweth the ox over his fodder ? 
 
 6 Can that which hath no savour be 
 
 eaten without salt ? 
 
 Or is there any taste in 7 the white of 
 an egg? 
 
 7 8 My soul refuseth to touch them ; 
 
 They are as loathsome meat to me. 
 
 8 Oh that I might have my request ; 
 
 And that God would grant me the 
 
 thing that I long for ! 
 
 9 Even that it would please God to 
 
 crush me ; 
 
 That he would let loose his hand, and 
 cut me off ! 
 
 10 Then should I yet have comfort ; 
 
 9 Yea, I would 10 exult in pain 11 that 
 spareth not : 
 
 12 For I have not 13 denied the words of 
 the Holy One. 
 
 11 What is my strength, that I should wait ? 
 And what is mine end, that I should be 
 
 patient? 
 
 12 Is my strength the strength of stones ? 
 Or is my flesh of brass ? 
 
 13 Is it not that I have no help in me, 
 And that 14 effectual working is driven 
 
 quite from me ? 
 
 14 To him that is ready to faint kindness 
 
 should be shewed from his friend ;

 And the hope of the godless man shall 
 perish : 
 
 14 Whose confidence shall 1 break in 
 
 sunder, 
 
 And whose trust is a spider’s 2 web. 
 
 15 He shall lean upon his house, but it 
 
 shall not stand : 
 
 He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall 
 not endure. 
 
 16 He is green before the sun, 
 
 And his shoots go forth over his garden. 
 
 17 His roots are wrapped 3 about the heap, 
 He beholdeth the place of stones. 
 
 18 If he be destroyed from his place, 
 Then it shall deny him, saying, I have 
 
 not seen thee. 
 
 19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, 
 
 And out of the 4 earth shall others 
 
 spring. 
 
 20 Behold, God will not cast away a 
 
 perfect man, 
 
 Neither will he uphold the evil-doers. 
 21 6 He will yet fill thy mouth with 
 laughter, 
 
 And thy lips with shouting. 
 
 22 They that hate thee shall be clothed 
 with shame ; 
 
 And the tent of the wicked shall be no 
 more. 
 
 9 Then Job answered and said, 
 
 2 Of a truth I know that it is so : 
 
 G But how can man be just 7 with God? 
 
 3 8 If he be pleased to contend with him, 
 He cannot answer him one of a thou- 
 sand. 
 
 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in 
 
 strength : 
 
 Who hath hardened himself against 
 him, and prospered ? 
 
 5 Which removetli the mountains, and 
 
 they know it not, 
 
 When he overturneth them in his anger. 
 
 6 Which shaketh the earth out of her 
 
 place, 
 
 And the pillars thereof tremble. 
 
 7 Which commandetli the sun, and it 
 
 riseth not ; 
 
 And sealeth up the stars. 
 
 8 Which alone stretcheth out the hea- 
 
 vens, 
 
 And treadetli upon the 9 waves of the 
 sea. 
 
 9 Which maketh the Bear, Orion, and 
 
 the Pleiades, 
 
 And the chambers of the south. 
 
 10 Which doeth great things past finding 
 
 out; 
 
 Yea, marvellous things without num- 
 ber. 
 
 11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him 
 
 not : 
 
 He passeth on also, but I perceive him 
 not. 
 
 12 Behold, he seizeth the prey , who can 
 
 10 hinder him? 
 
 Who will say unto him, What doest 
 thou? 
 
 13 God will not withdraw his anger; 
 
 The helpers of n Bahab 12 do stoop 
 under him. 
 
 14 How much less shall I answer him, 
 And choose out my words to reason 
 
 with him? 
 
 15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet 
 
 would I not answer ; 
 
 I would make supplication to 13 mine 
 adversary. 
 
 16 If I had called, and he had answered 
 
 me; 
 
 Yet would I not believe that he 
 hearkened unto my voice. 
 
 17 14 For he breaketh me with a tempest, 
 And multiplieth my wounds without 
 cause. 
 
 18 He will not suffer me to take my 
 breath, 
 
 But filletli me with bitterness. 
 
 19 15 If we speak of the strength of the 
 mighty, 16 lo, he is there ! 
 
 And if of judgement, who will appoint 
 me a time ? 
 
 20 Though I be righteous, mine own 
 mouth shall condemn me : 
 
 Though I be perfect, 17 it shall prove 
 me perverse. 
 
 21 18 1 am 19 perfect; I regard not myself; 
 I despise my life. 
 
 22 It is all one ; therefore I say, 
 
 He destroyeth the perfect and the 
 wicked. 
 
 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, 
 
 He will mock at the 20 trial of the 
 innocent. 
 
 24 The earth is given into the hand of 
 
 the wicked : 
 
 He covereth the faces of the judges 
 thereof ; 
 
 If it he not he, who then is it? 
 
 25 Now my days are swifter than a 21 post : 
 They flee away, they see no good. 
 
 26 They are passed away as the 22 swift 
 
 ships : 
 
 As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey. 
 
 27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, 
 
 I will put off my sad countenance, and 
 23 be of good cheer: 
 
 28 1 am afraid of all my sorrows, 
 
 I know that thou wilt not hold me 
 innocent. 
 
 29 1 shall be condemned ; 
 
 Why then do I labour in vain ? 
 
 30 If I wash myself 24 with snow water, 
 And 25 make my hands never so clean; 
 
 31 Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, 
 And mine own clothes shall abhor me. 
 
 32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I 
 
 should answer him, 
 
 That we should come together in 
 judgement. 
 
 33 There is no 26 daysman betwixt us, 
 That might lay his hand upon us 
 
 both. 
 
 34 Let him take his rod away from me, 
 And let not his terror make me 
 
 afraid : 
 
 35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; 
 For I am not so in myself.

 18 That which he laboured for shall he re-

 According to the substance Hhat he 
 hath gotten, he shall not rejoice. 
 
 19 For he hath oppressed and forsaken 
 
 the poor ; 
 
 He hath violently taken away an house, 
 2 and he shall not build it up. 
 
 20 Because he knew no quietness 3 within 
 
 him, 
 
 He shall not save aught of that where- 
 in he delighteth. 
 
 21 There was nothing left that he de- 
 
 voured not ; 
 
 Therefore his prosperity shall not en- 
 dure. 
 
 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall 
 
 be in straits : 
 
 The hand of every one that is in misery 
 shall come upon him. 
 
 23 4 When he is about to fill his belly, 
 
 God shall cast the fierceness of his 
 
 wrath upon him, 
 
 And shall rain it upon him 5 while he 
 is eating. 
 
 24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, 
 And the bow of brass shall strike him 
 
 through. 
 
 25 He draweth it forth, and it cometh out 
 
 of his body : 
 
 Yea, the glittering point cometh out of 
 his gall; 
 
 Terrors are upon him. 
 
 26 All darkness is laid up for his trea- 
 
 sures : 
 
 A fire not blown by man shall devour 
 him; 
 
 6 It shall consume that which is left in 
 his tent. 
 
 27 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, 
 And the earth shall rise up against him. 
 
 28 The increase of his house shall depart, 
 His goods shall flow away in the day 
 
 of liis wrath. 
 
 29 This is the portion of a wicked man 
 
 from God, 
 
 And the heritage appointed unto him 
 by God. 
 
 21 Then Job answered and said, 
 
 2 Hear diligently my speech ; 
 
 And let this be your consolations. 
 
 3 Suffer me, and I also will speak ; 
 
 And after that I have spoken, 7 mock 
 
 on. 
 
 4 As for me, is my complaint 8 to man ? 
 And why should I not be impatient ? 
 
 5 9 Mark me, and be astonished, 
 
 And lay your hand upon your mouth. 
 
 6 Even when I remember I am troubled, 
 And horror taketh hold on my flesh. 
 
 7 Wherefore do the wicked live, 
 
 Become old, yea, wax mighty in 
 
 power? 
 
 8 Their seed is established with them in 
 
 their sight, 
 
 And their offspring before their eyes. 
 
 9 Their houses are 10 safe from fear, 
 Neither is the rod of God upon them. 
 
 10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not ; 
 Their cow calveth, and casteth not 
 
 her calf. 
 
 11 They send forth their little ones like a 
 
 flockj 
 
 And their children dance. 
 
 12 They 11 sing to the timbrel and harp, 
 And rejoice at the sound of the pipe. 
 
 13 They spend their days in prosperity, 
 And in a moment they go down to 
 
 12 Sheol. . 
 
 14 Yet they said unto God, Depart from 
 
 us; 
 
 For we desire not the knowledge of 
 thy ways. 
 
 15 What is the Almighty, that we should 
 
 serve him ? 
 
 And what profit should we have, if we 
 pray unto him ? 
 
 16 18 Lo, their prosperity is not in their 
 hand : 
 
 The counsel of the wicked is far from 
 me. 
 
 17 14 How oft is it that the lamp of the 
 wicked is put out ? 
 
 That their calamity cometh upon them ? 
 That God distributeth sorrows in his 
 anger ? 
 
 18 That they are as stubble before the 
 wind, 
 
 And as chaff that the storm carrieth 
 away? 
 
 19 15 Ye say , God layeth up his iniquity 
 for his children. 
 
 Let him recompense it unto himself, 
 that he may know it. 
 
 20 Let his own eyes see his destruction, 
 And let him drink of the wrath of the 
 
 Almighty. 
 
 21 For what pleasure hath he in his 
 
 house after him, 
 
 When the number of his months is cut 
 off in the midst ? 
 
 22 Shall any teach God knowledge ? 
 Seeing he judge th those that are high. 
 
 23 One dietli in his full strength, 
 
 Being wholly at ease and quiet : 
 
 24 His 16 breasts are full of milk, 
 
 And the marrow of his bones is 
 moistened. 
 
 25 And another dieth in bitterness of soul, 
 And never tasteth of good. 
 
 26 They lie down alike in the dust, 
 
 And the worm coveretli them. 
 
 27 Behold, I know your thoughts, 
 
 And the devices which ye wrongfully 
 imagine against me. 
 
 28 For ye say, Where is the house of the 
 
 prince ? 
 
 And where is the tent wherein the 
 wicked dwelt ? 
 
 29 Have ye not asked them that go by 
 
 the way ? 
 
 And do ye not know their tokens? 
 
 30 That the evil man is 17 reserved to the 
 
 day of calamity ? 
 
 That they are 18 led forth to the day of 
 wrath ? 
 
 31 Who shall declare his way to his face?

 And who shall repay him what he hath

 34 How then comfort ye me 3 in vain, 
 Seeing in your answers there re- 
 
 maineth only 4 falsehood? 
 
 22 Then answered Eliphaz the Teman- 
 ite, and said, 
 
 2 Can a man be profitable unto God ? 
 Surely lie that is wise is profitable 
 
 unto himself. 
 
 3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, 
 
 that thou art righteous ? 
 
 1 Or is it gain to him , that thou makest 
 thy ways perfect ? 
 
 4 Is it 5 for thy fear of him that he re- 
 
 proveth thee, 
 
 That lie entereth with thee into judge- 
 ment? 
 
 5 Is not thy wickedness great ? 
 
 i Neither is there any end to thine in- 
 | iquities. 
 
 6 For thou hast taken pledges of thy 
 
 brother for nought, 
 
 i And stripped the naked of their cloth- 
 I ing. 
 
 7 Thou hast not given water to the 
 
 weary to drink, 
 
 And thou hast withholden bread from 
 the hungry. 
 
 8 But as for 6 the mighty man, he had 
 
 the 7 earth ; 
 
 And 8 the honourable man, he dwelt in it. 
 
 9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, 
 And the arms of the fatherless have 
 
 been broken. 
 
 10 Therefore snares are round about thee, 
 And sudden fear troubleth thee, 
 
 11 9 Or darkness, that thou canst not see, 
 And abundance of waters cover thee. 
 
 12 Is not God in the height of heaven ? 
 And behold the 10 height of the stars, 
 
 how high they are ! 
 
 13 And thou sayest, What doth God 
 
 know ? 
 
 Can he judge through the thick dark- 
 ness? 
 
 14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, 
 
 that he seeth not ; 
 
 And he walketh 11 in the circuit of 
 heaven. 
 
 15 12 Wilt thou keep the old way 
 Which wicked men have trodden ? 
 
 16 Who were snatched away before their 
 
 time, 
 
 Whose foundation was poured out as 
 a stream : 
 
 17 Who said unto God, Depart from us ; 
 And, What can the Almighty do 13 for 
 
 14 us? 
 
 18 Yet he filled their houses with good 
 
 things : 
 
 21. 31. 
 
 But the counsel of the wicked is far 
 from me. 
 
 19 The righteous see it, and are glad ; 
 
 And the innocent laugh them to scorn: 
 
 20 Saying, Surely they that did rise up 
 
 against us are cut off, 
 
 And 15 the remnant of them the fire 
 hath consumed. 
 
 21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be 
 
 at peace : 
 
 16 Thereby good shall come unto thee. 
 22Beceive, I pray thee, 17 the law from 
 his mouth, 
 
 And lay up his words in thine heart. 
 
 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou 
 
 slialt be built up ; 
 
 18 If thou put away unrighteousness far 
 from thy tents. 
 
 24 And lay thou thy 19 treasure 20 in the 
 
 dust, 
 
 And the gold of Ophir among the stones 
 of the brooks ; 
 
 25 And the Almighty shall be thy 19 trea- 
 
 sure, 
 
 And 21 precious silver unto thee. 
 
 26 For then shalt thou delight thyself in 
 
 the Almighty, 
 
 And shalt lift up thy face unto God. 
 
 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, 
 
 and he shall hear thee ; 
 
 And thou shalt pay thy vows. 
 
 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it 
 
 shall be established unto thee ; 
 
 And light shall shine upon thy ways. 
 
 29 When they 22 cast thee down, thou 
 
 shalt say, There is lifting up; 
 
 And 23 the humble person he shall save. 
 
 30 He shall deliver 24 even him that is not 
 
 innocent : 
 
 Yea, he shall be delivered through the 
 cleanness of thine hands. 
 
 23 Then Job answered and said, 
 
 2 Even to-day is my complaint ^re- 
 
 bellious : 
 
 20 My stroke is heavier than my groan- 
 ing. 
 
 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him, 
 That I might come even to his seat ! 
 
 4 1 would order my cause before him, 
 And fill my mouth with arguments. 
 
 51 would know the words which he 
 would answer me, 
 
 And understand what he would say 
 unto me. 
 
 6 Would he contend with me in the 
 
 greatness of his power ? 
 
 Nay; 27 hut he would give heed unto 
 me. 
 
 7 There the upright might reason with 
 
 him; 
 
 So should I be delivered for ever from 
 my judge. 
 
 8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not 
 
 there ; 
 
 And backward, but I cannot perceive

 He 1 liicletli himself on the right hand, 
 that I cannot see him. 
 
 10 2 But he knowetli 3 the way that I take ; 
 When he hath tried me, I shall come 
 
 forth as gold. 
 
 11 My foot hath held fast to his steps; 
 His way have I kept, and turned not 
 
 aside. 
 
 121 have not gone back from the com- 
 mandment of his lips ; 
 
 I have treasured up the words of his 
 mouth 4 more than my 5 necessary 
 food. 
 
 13 But 6 he is in one mind, and who can 
 
 turn him ? 
 
 And what his soul desireth, even that 
 he doeth. 
 
 14 For he performeth that which is ap- 
 
 pointed for me : 
 
 And many such things are with him. 
 
 15 Therefore am I troubled at his pre- 
 
 sence ; 
 
 When I consider, I am afraid of him. 
 
 16 For God hath made my heart faint, 
 And the Almighty hath troubled me : 
 
 17 7 Because I was not cut off before the 
 darkness, 
 
 Neither did lie cover the thick dark- 
 ness from my face. 
 
 24 8 Why are times not laid up by the 
 Almighty ? 
 
 And why do not they which know him 
 see his days ? 
 
 2 There are that remove the landmarks ; 
 They violently take away flocks, and 
 
 feed them. 
 
 3 They drive away the ass of the father- 
 
 less, 
 
 They take the widow’s ox for a 
 j)ledge. 
 
 4 They turn the needy out of the way : 
 The 9 poor of the earth hide them- 
 selves together. 
 
 5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert 
 They go forth to their work, seeking 
 
 diligently for 10 meat; 
 
 The wilderness yieldeth them food for 
 their children. 
 
 6 They cut 11 their provender in the field ; 
 And they glean the vintage of the 
 
 wicked. 
 
 7 They lie all night naked without 
 
 clothing, 
 
 And have no covering in the cold. 
 
 8 They are wet with the showers of the 
 
 mountains, 
 
 And embrace the rock for want of a 
 shelter. 
 
 9 There are that pluck the fatherless 
 
 from the breast, 
 
 And 12 take a pledge of the poor: 
 
 10 No that they go about naked without 
 
 clothing, 
 
 And being an-hungred they carry the 
 sheaves ; 
 
 11 They make oil within the walls of 
 
 these men ; 
 
 They tread their winepresses, and 
 suffer thirst. 
 
 12 From out of the 13 populous city men 
 
 groan, 
 
 And the soul of the wounded crieth out : 
 Yet God imputeth it not for folly. 
 
 13 These are of them that rebel against 
 
 the light ; 
 
 They know not the ways thereof, 
 
 Nor abide in the paths thereof. 
 
 14 The murderer riseth with the light, he 
 
 killeth the poor and needy ; 
 
 And in the night he is as a thief. 
 
 15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth 
 
 for the twilight, 
 
 Saying, No eye shall see me: 
 
 And he 14 disguisetli his face. 
 
 16 In the dark they dig through houses : 
 15 They shut themselves up in the day- 
 time; 
 
 They know not the light. 
 
 17 For the morning is to all of them as 
 
 the shadow of death; 
 
 For they know the terrors of the 
 shadow of death. 
 
 18 16 He is swift upon the face of the 
 waters ; 
 
 Their portion is cursed in the earth : 
 He turneth not by the way of the 
 vineyards. 
 
 19 Brought and heat 17 consume the snow 
 
 waters : 
 
 So doth 18 SheoB7m.se which have sinned. 
 
 20 The womb shall forget him ; the worm 
 
 shall feed sweetly on him ; 
 
 He shall be no more remembered : 
 
 And unrighteousness, shall be broken 
 19 as a tree. 
 
 21 Fie devour eth the barren that beareth 
 
 not; 
 
 And doeth not good to the widow. 
 
 22 20 He draweth away the mighty also by 
 
 his power : 
 
 Fie riseth up, and no man is sure of life. 
 
 23 God giveth them to be in security, and 
 
 they rest thereon ; 
 
 21 And his eyes are upon their ways. 
 
 24 They are exalted; yet a little while, 
 
 and they are gone ; 
 
 22 Yea, they are brought low, they are 
 23 taken out of the way as all other, 
 
 And are cut off as the tops of the ears 
 of corn. 
 
 25 And if it be not so now, who will prove 
 me a liar, 
 
 And make my speech nothing worth ? 
 
 25 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, 
 and said, 
 
 2 Dominion and fear are with him; 
 
 He maketh peace in his high places. 
 
 3 Is there any number of his armies ? 
 And upon whom doth not his light arise ? 
 
 4 How then can man be just 24 with God ? 
 Or how can he be clean that is born of 
 
 a woman? 
 
 5 Behold, even the moon hath no bright- 
 
 ness, 
 
 And the stars are not pure in his sight :

 | 26 Then Job answered and said, 
 
 2 How hast thou helped him that is 
 
 without power l 
 
 How hast thou saved the arm that 
 hath no strength! 
 
 3 How hast thou counselled him that 
 
 hath no wisdom, 
 
 And plentifully declared sound know- 
 ledge ! 
 
 4 To whom hast thou uttered words ? 
 And whose Spirit came forth from thee? 
 
 5 2 They that are deceased tremble 
 Beneath the waters and the inhabit- 
 ants thereof. 
 
 6 3 Sheol is naked before him, 
 
 And 4 Abaddon hath no covering. 
 
 7 He stretcheth out the north over empty 
 
 space, 
 
 And hangetli the earth 5 upon nothing. 
 
 8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick 
 
 clouds ; 
 
 And the cloud is not rent under them. 
 
 9 He closeth in the face of his throne, 
 And spreadeth his cloud upon it. 
 
 10 He hath described a boundary upon 
 
 the face of the waters, 
 
 Unto the confines of light and darkness. 
 
 11 The pillars of heaven tremble 
 And are astonished at his rebuke. 
 
 12 He 6 stirreth up the sea with his power, 
 And by his understanding he smiteth 
 
 through 7 Rahab. 
 
 13 By his spirit the heavens are 8 garn- 
 
 ished ; 
 
 His hand hath pierced the 9 swift 
 serpent. 
 
 14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of his 
 
 ways: 
 
 And 10 how small a whisper 11 do we 
 hear of him ! 
 
 But the thunder of his 12 power who 
 can understand ? 
 
 27 And Job again took up his parable, 
 and said, 
 
 2 As God liveth, who hath taken away 
 my right ; 
 
 And the Almighty, who hath 13 vexed 
 my soul ; 
 
 3 14 (For my life is yet whole in me, 
 
 And the spirit of God is in my nostrils ;) 
 
 4 Surely my lips 15 shall not speak un- 
 
 righteousness, 
 
 Neither 16 shall my tongue utter deceit. 
 
 5 God' forbid that I should justify you: 
 Till I die I will not put away mine 
 
 integrity from me. 
 
 6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will 
 
 not let it go : 
 
 My heart 17 shall not reproach me so 
 long as I live. 
 
 7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, 
 
 And let him that riseth up against me 
 
 be as the unrighteous. 
 
 8 For what is the hope of the godless, 
 
 18 though he get him gain, 
 
 When God taketh away his soul? 
 
 9 Will God hear his cry, 
 
 When trouble cometh upon him ? 
 
 10 Will he delight himself in the Al- 
 mighty, 
 
 And call upon God at all times ? 
 
 Ill will teach you concerning the hand 
 of God; 
 
 That which is with the Almighty will 
 I not conceal. 
 
 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it ; 
 Why then are ye become altogether 
 
 vain? 
 
 13 This is the portion of a wicked man 
 
 with God, 
 
 And the heritage of oppressors, which 
 they receive from the Almighty. 
 
 14 If his children be multiplied, it is for 
 
 the sword; 
 
 And his offspring shall not be satisfied 
 with bread. 
 
 15 Those that remain of him shall be 
 
 buried in death, 
 
 And his widows shall make no lament- 
 ation. 
 
 16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, 
 And prepare raiment as the clay ; 
 
 17 He may prepare it, but the just shall 
 
 put it on, 
 
 And the innocent shall divide the silver. 
 
 18 He buildeth his house as the 19 moth, 
 And as a booth which the keeper 
 
 maketh. 
 
 19 He lieth down rich, but he 20 shall not 
 
 be gathered; 
 
 He openeth his eyes, and he is not. 
 
 20 Terrors overtake him like waters ; 
 
 A tempest stealeth him away in the 
 night. 
 
 21 The east wind carrieth him away, and 
 
 he departeth ; 
 
 And it sweepeth him out of his place. 
 
 22 For God shall hurl at him, and not 
 
 spare : 
 
 He would fain flee out of his hand. 
 
 23 Men shall clap their hands at him, 
 
 And shall hiss him out of his place. 
 
 2 8 21 Surely there is a mine for silver, 
 And a place for gold which they refine. 
 
 2 Iron is taken out of the 22 earth, 
 
 And brass is molten out of the stone. 
 
 3 Man setteth an end to darkness, 
 
 And searcheth out to the furthest 
 bound 
 
 The stones of thick darkness and of 
 the shadow of death. 
 
 4 23 He breaketh open a shaft away from 
 
 where men sojourn; 
 
 They are forgotten of the foot that 
 passeth by ; 
 
 They hang afar from men, they 24 swing 
 to and fro. 
 
 5 As for the earth, out of it cometh 
 
 bread : 
 
 And underneath it is turned up as it 
 were by fire. 
 
 6 The stones thereof are the place of 
 
 sapphires, 
 
 25 And it hath dust of gold.

 The words of Job are ended. 
 
 32 So these three men ceased to answer 
 Job, because he was righteous in his 
 
 2 own eyes . Then was kindled the wrath 
 of Eliliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, 
 of the family of Ram: against Job 
 was his wrath kindled, because he 
 
 3 justified himself rather than God. Also 
 against his three friends was his wrath 
 kindled, because they had found no 
 answer, and yet had condemned Job. 
 
 4 Now Eliliu had 15 waited to speak unto 
 Job, because they were elder than 
 
 5 he. And when Eliliu saw that there 
 was no answer in the mouth of these 
 three men, his wrath was kindled. 
 
 6 And Eliliu the son of Barachel the 
 Buzite answered and said, 
 
 I am young, and ye are very old ; 
 Wherefore I held back, and durst not 
 shew you mine opinion. 
 
 7 1 said, Days should speak, 
 
 And multitude of years should teach 
 wisdom.

 9 By reason of tlie multitude of oppres- 
 sions they cry out ; 
 
 They cry for help by reason of the 
 arm of the mighty. 
 
 10 But none saith, Where is God my 
 
 Maker, 
 
 Who giveth songs in the night ; 
 
 11 Who teaclieth us more than the beasts 
 
 of the earth, 
 
 And maketh us wiser than the fowls of 
 heaven ? 
 
 12 There they cry, x but none giveth 
 
 answer, 
 
 Because of the pride of evil men. 
 
 13 Surely God will not hear vanity, 
 Neither will the Almighty regard it. 
 
 14 How much less when thou sayest 
 
 2 thou beholdest him not, 
 
 The cause is before him, and thou 
 waitest for him ! 
 
 15 But now, because he hath not visited 
 
 in his anger, 
 
 3 Neither doth he greatly regard ar- 
 rogance ; 
 
 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in 
 
 vanity; 
 
 He multiplieth words without know- 
 ledge. 
 
 30 Eliliu also proceeded, and said, 
 
 2 4 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee ; 
 For 5 1 have yet somewhat to say on 
 God’s behalf. 
 
 3 1 will fetch my knowledge from afar, 
 And will ascribe righteousness to my 
 Maker. 
 
 4 For truly my words are not false : 
 
 One that is perfect in knowledge is 
 
 with thee. 
 
 5 Behold, God is mighty, and despisetli 
 
 not any: 
 
 He is mighty in strength of 6 under- 
 standing. 
 
 6 He preservetli not the life of the wicked: 
 But giveth to the afflicted their right. 
 
 7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the 
 
 righteous : 
 
 But with kings upon the throne 
 He settetli them for ever, and they are 
 exalted. 
 
 8 And if they be bound in fetters, 
 
 And be taken in the cords of affliction ; 
 
 9 Then he sheweth them their work, 
 And their transgressions, that they 
 
 have behaved themselves proudly. 
 
 10 He openetli also their ear to instruction, 
 And commandeth that they return 
 
 from iniquity. 
 
 11 If they hearken and serve him , 
 
 They shall spend their days in pros- 
 perity, 
 
 And their years in 7 pleasures. 
 
 12 But if they hearken not, they shall 
 
 perish by 8 the sword, 
 
 And they shall die without knowledge. 
 
 13 But they that are godless in heart lay 
 
 up anger : 
 
 They cry not for help when he bindetli 
 them. 
 
 14 9 They die in youth, 
 
 And their life jperisheth 10 among the 
 11 unclean. 
 
 15 He delivereth the afflicted 12 by his 
 
 affliction, 
 
 And openeth their ear 13 in oppression. 
 
 16 Yea, he would have 14 led thee away 
 
 15 out of distress 
 
 Into a broad place, where there is no 
 straitness ; 
 
 And that which is set on thy table 
 should be full of fatness. 
 
 17 But thou 16 art full of the judgement 
 
 of the wicked: 
 
 Judgement and justice take hold on 
 
 thee. 
 
 18 17 Because there is wrath, beware 
 lest thou be 18 led away by thy suf- 
 ficiency ; 
 
 Neither let the greatness of the ran- 
 som turn thee aside. 
 
 19 19 Will thy riches suffice, 20 that thou he 
 not in distress, 
 
 Or all the forces of thy strength ? 
 
 20 Desire not the night, 
 
 When peoples 21 are cut off in their 
 place. 
 
 21 Take heed, regard not iniquity : 
 
 For this hast thou chosen rather than 
 affliction. 
 
 22 Behold, God doetli loftily in his power : 
 Who is a teacher like unto him ? 
 
 23 Who hath enjoined him his way? 
 
 Or who can say, Thou hast wrought 
 unrighteousness ? 
 
 24 Bemember that thou magnify his work, 
 Whereof men have sung. 
 
 25 All men have looked thereon ; 
 
 Man beholdetli it afar off. 
 
 26 Behold, God is great, and we know 
 
 him not ; 
 
 The number of his years is unsearch- 
 able. 
 
 27 For he draweth up the drops of water, 
 Which distil in rain 22 from 23 his vapour: 
 
 28 Which the skies pour down 
 And drop upon man abundantly. 
 
 29 Yea, can any understand the spread- 
 
 ings of the clouds, 
 
 The tliunderings of his pavilion ? 
 
 30 Behold, he spreadeth his light 24 a- 
 
 round him ; 
 
 And he 25 covereth the bottom of the 
 sea. 
 
 31 For by these he judgeth the peoples; 
 He giveth meat in abundance. 
 
 32 He covereth his hands with the ^light- 
 
 ning; 
 
 And giveth it a charge 27 that it strike 
 the mark. 
 
 33 The noise thereof telletli concerning 
 
 28 him, 
 
 The cattle also concerning 29 the storm 
 that cometli up. 
 
 37 At this also my heart trembleth, 
 
 And is moved out of its place. 
 
 2 Hearken ye unto the noise of his voice, 
 And the 30 sound that goeth out of his 
 mouth.

 3 He sendeth it forth under the whole 23 
 
 heaven, 
 
 And his 1 lightning unto the 2 ends of 
 the earth. 
 
 4 After it a voice roareth ; 
 
 He thundereth with the voice of his 
 
 majesty: 
 
 And he stayeth them not when his 
 voice is heard. 
 
 5 God thundereth marvellously with his 
 
 voice ; 
 
 Great things doeth he, which we can- 
 not comprehend. 
 
 6 For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on 
 
 the earth ; 
 
 Likewise to the shower of rain, 
 
 And to the showers of his mighty rain. 
 
 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man ; 
 That all men whom he hath made 
 
 may know’ it. 
 
 8 Then the beasts go into coverts, 
 
 And remain in their dens. 
 
 9 Out of 3 the chamber of the south 
 
 cometh the storm : 
 
 And cold out of the 4 north. 
 
 10 By the breath of God ice is given : 
 
 And the breadth of the waters is 
 
 5 straitened. 
 
 11 Yea, he ladetli the thick cloud with 
 
 moisture ; 
 
 He spreadetli abroad the cloud of his 
 1 lightning : 
 
 12 And it is turned round about by his 
 
 guidance, 
 
 That they may do whatsoever he com- 
 mandeth them 
 
 Upon the face of the habitable world : 
 
 13 Whether it be for correction, or for 
 
 his 6 land, 
 
 Or for mercy, that he cause it to come. 
 
 14 Hearken unto this, 0 Job : 
 
 Stand still, and consider the wondrous 
 
 works of God. 
 
 15 Dost thou know how God layeth his 
 
 charge upon them, 
 
 And causeth the 1 lightning of his cloud 
 to shine ? 
 
 16 Host thou know the balancings of the 
 
 clouds, 
 
 The wondrous works of him which is 
 perfect in knowledge ? 
 
 17 7 How thy garments are warm, 
 
 8 When the earth is still by reason of 
 
 the south 'wind ? 
 
 18 Canst thou with him spread out the sky, 
 Which is strong as a molten mirror ? 
 
 19 Teach us what we shall say unto him ; 
 
 For we cannot order our speech by 
 
 reason of darkness. 
 
 20 Shall it be told him that I would speak ? 
 
 9 Or should a man wish that he were 
 
 swallowed up ? 
 
 21 And now men 10 see not the light which 
 
 is bright in the skies : 
 
 But the wind passeth, and cleanseth 
 them. 
 
 22 Out of the north cometh 11 golden 
 
 splendour : 
 
 God hath upon him terrible majesty. 
 
 405 
 
 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find 
 him out ; he is excellent in power : 
 And 12 in judgement and plenteous 
 justice he will not afflict. 
 
 24 Men do therefore fear him : 
 
 He regardeth not any that are wise of 
 heart. 
 
 38 Then the Lord answered Job out of 
 the whirlwind, and said, 
 
 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel 
 By words without knowledge ? 
 
 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man ; 
 
 For I will demand of thee, and declare 
 
 thou unto me. 
 
 4 Where wast thou when I laid the 
 
 foundations of the earth ? 
 
 Declare, 13 if thou hast understanding. 
 
 5 Who determined the measures thereof, 
 
 14 if thou knowest? 
 
 Or who stretched the line upon it ? 
 
 6 Whereupon were the 15 foundations 
 
 thereof 16 fastened? 
 
 Or who laid the corner stone thereof ; 
 
 7 When the morning stars sang together, 
 And all the sons of God shouted for joy ? 
 
 8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, 
 When it brake forth, 17 as* if it had 
 
 issued out of the womb ; 
 
 9 When I made the cloud the garment 
 
 thereof, 
 
 And thick darkness a swaddlingband 
 for it, 
 
 10 And 18 prescribed for it my 19 decree, 
 And set bars and doors, 
 
 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, 
 
 but no further ; 
 
 And here shall thy proud waves be 
 stayed ? 
 
 12 Hast thou commanded the morning 
 
 since thy days began , 
 
 And caused the dayspring to know its 
 place ; 
 
 13 That it might take hold of the ends of 
 
 the earth, 
 
 And the wicked be shaken out of it ? 
 
 14 It is changed as clay under the seal ; 
 And all things stand forth 20 as a gar- 
 ment : 
 
 15 And from the wicked their light is 
 
 withholden, 
 
 And the high arm is broken. 
 
 16 Hast thou entered into the springs of 
 
 the sea? 
 
 Or hast thou walked in the 21 recesses 
 of the deep ? 
 
 17 Have the gates of death been revealed

 Or hast thou seen the gates of the

 18 Hast thou comprehended the breadth

 BOOK I. 
 
 1 1 Blessed is the man that walketli not 
 
 in the counsel of the wicked, 
 
 Nor standeth in the way of sinners, 
 Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 
 
 2 But his delight is in the law of the 
 
 Lord ; 
 
 And in liis law doth he meditate day 
 and night. 
 
 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by 
 
 the streams of water, 
 
 That bringeth forth its fruit in its 
 season, 
 
 Whose leaf also doth not wither ; 
 
 And Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 
 
 4 The wicked are not so ; 
 
 But are like the chaff which the wind 
 drive th away. 
 
 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand 
 
 in the judgement, 
 
 Nor sinners in the congregation of the 
 righteous. 
 
 6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the 
 
 righteous : 
 
 But the way of the wicked shall perish. 
 
 2 Why do the nations 3 rage, 
 
 And the peoples 4 imagine a vain 
 thing ? 
 
 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, 
 And the rulers take counsel together, 
 Against the Lord, and against his 
 
 anointed, saying , 
 
 3 Let us break tlieir bands asunder, 
 
 And cast away their cords from us. 
 
 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall 
 
 laugh : 
 
 The Lord shall have them in derision. 
 
 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his 
 
 wrath, 
 
 And 5 vex them in his sore displeas- 
 ure: 
 
 6 Yet I have set my king 
 Upon my holy hill of Zion. 
 
 7 1 will tell of the decree : 
 
 The Lord said unto me, Thou art my 
 son; 
 
 This day have I begotten thee. 
 
 8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the 
 
 nations for thine inheritance, 
 
 And the uttermost parts of the earth 
 for thy possession. 
 
 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of 
 
 iron ; 
 
 Thou shalt dash them in pieces like 
 a potter’s vessel. 
 
 10 Now therefore be wise, 0 ye kings : | 
 
 Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 
 
 11 Serve the Lord with fear, 
 
 And rejoice with trembling. 
 
 12 6 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and 
 ye perish in the way, 
 
 For his wrath 7 will soon be kindled. 
 
 1 Blessed are all they that 8 put their 
 trust in him.

 A Psalm of David. 
 
 1 Give ear to my words, 0 Lord, 
 Consider my meditation. 
 
 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my 
 
 King, and my God : 
 
 For unto thee do I pray. 
 
 3 0 Lord, in the morning shalt thou 
 
 hear my voice ; 
 
 In the morning will I order my prayer 
 unto thee, and will keep watch. 
 
 4 For thou art not a God that hath 
 
 pleasure in wickedness : 
 
 4 Evil shall not sojourn with thee. 
 
 5 5 The arrogant shall not stand in thy 
 
 sight : 
 
 Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 
 
 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies : 
 The Lord abhorreth the bloodthirsty 
 
 and deceitful man. 
 
 7 But as for me, in the multitude of thy 
 
 lovingkindness will I come into thy 
 house : 
 
 In thy fear will I worship toward thy 
 holy temple. 
 
 8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteous- 
 
 ness because of 6 mine enemies ; 
 Make thy way plain before my face. 
 
 9 For there is no 7 faithfulness in their 
 
 mouth ; 
 
 Their inward part is 8 very wickedness : 
 Their throat is an open sepulchre ; 
 They 9 flatter with their tongue. 
 
 10 Hold them guilty, 0 God ; 
 
 Let them fall 10 by their own counsels : 
 Thrust them out in the multitude of 
 their transgressions ; 
 
 For they have rebelled against thee. 
 
 11 11 But let all those that put their trust 
 in thee rejoice, 
 
 Let them ever shout for joy, because 
 thou defendest them : 
 
 Let them also that love thy name be 
 joyful in thee. 
 
 12 For thou wilt bless the righteous ; 
 
 O Lord, thou wilt compass him with 
 favour as with a shield.

 Neither chasten me in thy hot dis-

 2 Have mercy upon me, 0 Lord; for 
 I am withered away : 
 
 0 Lord, heal me; for my bones are

 3 My soul also is sore vexed : 
 
 And thou, O Lord, how long? 
 4Beturn, 0 Lord, deliver my soul: 
 
 Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.

 of thee : 
 
 In 13 Sheol who shall give thee thanks ?

 me, and deliver me : 
 
 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, 
 Bending it in pieces, while there is 
 
 none to deliver. 
 
 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this ; 
 If there be iniquity in my hands ; 
 
 4 If I have rewarded evil mito him 
 
 that was at peace with me ; 
 
 (Yea, I have delivered him that with- 
 out cause was mine adversary :) 
 
 5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and

 Yea, let him tread my life down to the 
 earth, 
 
 And lay my glory in the dust. [Selah

 He lieth in wait to catch the poor : 
 
 He doth catch the poor, when he

 And the 8 helpless fall by his strong ones. 
 
 11 He saith in his heart, God hath for-

 He hideth his face ; he will never see it. 
 12 Arise, 0 Lord; 0 God, lift up thine

 Forget not the 10 poor. 
 
 13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn 
 
 God, 
 
 And say in his heart, Thou wilt not 
 require it? 
 
 14 Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest

 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There

 They are corrupt, they have done 
 abominable works ; 
 
 There is none that doeth good. 
 
 2 The Lord looked down from heaven 
 
 upon the children of men, 
 
 To see if there were any that did 
 
 I understand, 
 
 That did seek after God. 
 
 3 They are all gone aside; they are

 Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel

 18 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David 
 the servant of the Lord, 8 who spake 
 unto the Lord the words of this song in 
 the day that the Lord delivered him 
 from the hand of all his enemies, and 
 from the hand of Saul : and he said, 
 
 1 1 love thee, 0 Lord, my strength. 
 
 2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, 
 and my deliverer ; 
 
 My God, my strong rock, in him will I 
 trust ; 
 
 My shield, and the horn of my salva- 
 tion, my high tower. 
 
 31 will call upon the Lord, who is 
 worthy to be praised : 
 
 So shall I be saved from mine enemies. 
 
 4 The cords of death compassed me, 
 And the floods of 9 ungodliness made 
 
 me afraid. 
 
 5 The cords of Sheol were round about 
 
 me: 
 
 The snares of death came upon me. 
 
 6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, 
 And cried unto my God : 
 
 He heard my voice out of his temple, 
 And my cry before him came into his 
 
 ears. 
 
 10 Or, 
 in his 
 wrath 
 
 7 Then the earth shook and trembled, 
 The foundations also of the mountains 
 
 moved 
 
 And were shaken, because he was wroth . 
 
 8 There went up a smoke 10 out of his 
 
 nostrils, 
 
 And fire out of his mouth devoured : 
 Coals were kindled by it. 
 
 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came 
 
 down ; 
 
 And thick darkness was under his feet. 
 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly : 
 Yea, he flew swiftly upon the wings of 
 the wind. 
 
 11 He made darkness his hiding place, his 
 pavilion round about him ; 
 
 Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the 
 skies. 
 
 12 At the brightness before him his thick 
 
 clouds passed, 
 
 Hailstones and coals of fire. 
 
 13 The Lord also thundered in the 
 
 heavens, 
 
 And the Most High uttered his voice ; 
 Hailstones and coals of fire. 
 
 14 And he sent out his arrows, and 
 
 scattered them ; 
 
 11 Yea, lightnings manifold, and dis- 
 comfited them. 
 
 15 Then the channels of waters appeared, 
 And the foundations of the world were 
 
 laid bare, 
 
 At thy rebuke, 0 Lord, 
 
 At the blast of the breath of thy 
 nostrils. 
 
 16 He sent from on high, he took me ; 
 
 He drew me out of 12 many waters. 
 
 17 He delivered me from my strong 
 
 enemy, 
 
 And from them that hated me, for they 
 were too mighty for me. 
 
 18 They came upon me in the day of my 
 
 calamity : 
 
 But the Lord was my stay. 
 
 19 He brought me forth also into a large 
 
 place ; 
 
 He delivered me, because he delighted 
 in me. 
 
 20 The Lord rewarded me according to 
 
 my righteousness ; 
 
 According to the cleanness of my hands 
 hath he recompensed me. 
 
 21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, 
 And have not wickedly departed from 
 
 my God. 
 
 22 For all his judgements were before me, 
 And I put not away his statutes from 
 
 me. 
 
 23 1 was also perfect with him, 
 
 And I kept myself from mine iniquity. 
 
 24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed 
 
 me according to my righteousness, 
 According to the cleanness of my hands 
 in his eyesight. 
 
 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thy- 
 
 self merciful ; 
 
 With the perfect man thou wilt shew 
 thyself perfect ; 
 
 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself 
 
 pure; 
 
 And with the perverse thou wilt shew 
 thyself froward. 
 
 27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people ; 
 But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring 
 
 down. 
 
 28 For thou wilt light my lamp : 
 
 The Lord my God will lighten my 
 darkness. 
 
 29 For by thee I run 13 upon a troop ; 
 
 And by my God do I leap over a wall. 
 
 30 As for God, liis way is perfect :

 the sun, 
 
 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out 
 
 of his chamber, 
 
 And rejoiceth as a strong man to run 
 his course. 
 
 6 His going forth is from the end of the 
 
 heaven, 
 
 And his circuit unto the ends of it : 
 And there is nothing hid from the 
 heat thereof. 
 
 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, re- 
 
 storing the soul : 
 
 The testimony of the Lord is sure, 
 making wise the simple. 
 
 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, 
 
 rejoicing the heart: 
 
 The commandment of the Lord is 
 pure, enlightening the eyes. 
 
 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, en- 
 
 during for ever : 
 
 The judgements of the Lord are true, 
 and righteous altogether.

 In keeping of them there is great re- 
 ward. 
 
 12 Who can discern his errors ? 
 
 Clear thou me from hidden faults. 
 
 13 Keep back thy servant also 10 from 
 
 presumptuous sins ; 
 
 Let them not have dominion over me : 
 
 then shall I be perfect, 
 
 And I shall be clear from great trans- 
 gression. 
 
 14 Let the words of my mouth and the

 2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat

 they stumbled and fell. 
 
 3 Though an host should encamp against 
 
 me, 
 
 My heart shall not fear : 
 
 Though war should rise against me, 
 
 9 Even then will I be confident. 
 
 4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, 
 
 that will I seek after ; 
 
 That I may dwell in the house of 
 the Lord all the days of my life, 
 
 To behold 10 the beauty of the Lord, 
 and to 11 inquire in his temple. 
 
 5 For in the day of trouble he shall keep 
 
 me secretly in his pavilion : 
 
 In the covert of his 12 tabernacle shall 
 he hide me ; 
 
 He shall lift me up upon a rock. 
 
 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up 
 
 above mine enemies round about me ; 
 And I will offer in his 12 tabernacle 
 sacrifices of 13 joy; 
 
 I will sing, yea, I will sing praises 
 unto the Lord.

 3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my 
 
 soul from Sheol : 
 
 Thou hast kept me alive, 8 that I should 
 not go down to the pit. 
 
 4 Sing praise unto the Lord, 0 ye saints 
 
 of his, 
 
 And give thanks to his holy 9 name. 
 
 5 For his anger is but for a moment ; 
 
 10 In his favour is life : 
 
 Weeping 11 may tarry for the night, 
 But joy cometh in the morning. 
 
 6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, 
 
 I shall never be moved. 
 
 7 Thou, Lord, of thy favour liadst made 
 
 my mountain to stand strong : 
 
 Thou didst hide thy face ; I was troubled. 
 8 1 cried to thee, 0 Lord ; 
 
 And unto the Lord I made supplica- 
 tion: 
 
 9 What profit is there in my blood, when 
 I go down to the pit ? 
 
 Shall the dust praise thee? shall it 
 declare thy truth ? 
 
 10 Hear, 0 Lord, and have mercy upon me: 
 Lord, be thou my helper. 
 
 11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning 
 
 into dancing ; 
 
 Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and 
 girded me with gladness : 
 
 12 To the end that my glory may sing 
 
 praise to thee, and not be silent. 
 
 O Lord my God, I will give thanks 
 unto thee for ever.

 me speedily : 
 
 Be thou to me a strong rock, an house

 Therefore for thy name’s sake lead

 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be 
 
 broken : 
 
 But the Lord upholdeth the righteous. 
 
 18 The Lord knoweth the days of the 
 
 perfect : 
 
 And their inheritance shall be for ever. 
 
 19 They shall not be ashamed in the 
 
 time of evil : 
 
 And in the days of famine they shall 
 be satisfied. 
 
 20 But the wicked shall perish, 
 
 And the enemies of the Lord shall be 
 as 6 the excellency of the pastures : 
 They shall consume ; 7 in smoke shall 
 they consume away. 
 
 21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth 
 
 not again : 
 
 But the righteous dealeth graciously, 
 and giveth. 
 
 22 For such as be blessed of him shall 
 
 inherit the land ; 
 
 And they that be cursed of him shall 
 be cut off. 
 
 23 A man’s goings are established of the 
 
 Lord ; 
 
 And he delighteth in his way. 
 
 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly 
 
 cast down : 
 
 For the Lord 8 upholdeth him with 
 his hand. 
 
 25 1 have been young, and now am old ; 
 Yet have I not seen the righteous 
 forsaken, 
 
 Nor his seed begging their bread. 
 
 26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, 
 
 and lendeth ; 
 
 And his seed is blessed. 
 
 27 Depart from evil, and do good : 
 
 And dwell for evermore. 
 
 28 For the Lord loveth judgement, 
 
 And forsaketh not his saints ; 
 
 They are preserved for ever : 
 
 But the seed of the wicked shall be 
 cut off. 
 
 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, 
 And dwell therein for ever. 
 
 30 The mouth of the righteous talketh of 
 
 wisdom, 
 
 And his tongue speaketh judgement. 
 
 31 The law of his God is in his heart ; 
 None of his steps shall slide. 
 
 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, 
 And seeketh to slay him. 
 
 33 The Lord will not leave him in his 
 
 hand, 
 
 Nor condemn him when he is judged. 
 
 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, 
 And he shall exalt thee to inherit the 
 
 land: 
 
 When the wicked are cut off, thou 
 shalt see it. 
 
 35 1 have seen the wicked in great power, 
 And spreading himself like a green 
 tree in its native soil. 
 
 36 9 But 10 one passed by, and, lo, he was 
 not: 
 
 Yea, I sought him, but he could not be 
 found. 
 
 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the 
 
 upright : 
 
 For 11 the latter end of that man is 
 peace. 
 
 38 As for transgressors, they shall be 
 
 destroyed together : 
 
 The latter end of the wicked shall be 
 cut off. 
 
 39 But the salvation of the righteous 
 
 is of the Lord : 
 
 He is their strong hold in the time of 
 trouble. 
 
 40 And the Lord helpeth them, and 
 
 rescueth them : 
 
 He rescueth them from the wicked, 
 and saveth them, 
 
 Because they have taken refuge in him.

 In tiie roll of tlie book it is 1 written 
 of me : 
 
 8 1 delight to do thy will, 0 my God ; 
 
 Yea, thy law is within my heart. 
 
 9 1 have 2 published righteousness in the 
 great congregation ; 
 
 Lo, I will not refrain my lips, 
 
 0 Lord, thou knowest. 
 
 10 1 have not hid thy righteousness 
 within my heart ; 
 
 1 have declared thy faithfulness and 
 thy salvation : 
 
 I have not concealed thy lovingkind- 
 ness and thy truth from the great 
 congregation. 
 
 11 "Withhold not thou thy tender mercies 
 
 from me, 0 Lord : 
 
 Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth 
 continually preserve me. 
 
 12 For innumerable evils have compassed 
 
 me about, 
 
 Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so 
 that I am not able to look up ; 
 
 They are more than the hairs of mine 
 head, and my heart hath 3 failed me. 
 
 13 Be ideased, 0 Lord, to deliver me : 
 Make haste to help me, 0 Lord. 
 
 14 Let them be ashamed and confound- 
 
 ed together 
 
 That seek after my soul to destroy it : 
 Let them be turned backward and 
 brought to dishonour 
 That delight in my hurt. 
 
 15 Let them be 4 desolate 5 by reason of 
 
 their shame 
 
 That say unto me, Alia, Aha. 
 
 16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice 
 
 and be glad in thee : 
 
 Let such as love thy salvation say 
 continually,

 17 But I am poor and needy ; 
 
 Yet the Lord thinketh upon me : 
 
 Thou art my help and my deliverer; 
 Make no tarrying, 0 my God.

 keep him alive, and he shall be 
 blessed 8 upon the earth; 
 
 And deliver not thou him unto the

 3 9 The Lord will support him upon the 
 
 couch of languishing : 
 
 Thou 10 makest all his bed in his 
 sickness. 
 
 4 1 said, 0 Lord, have mercy upon me : 
 Heal my soul; for I have sinned 
 against thee. 
 
 5 Mine enemies speak evil against me, 
 
 saying , 
 
 When shall he die, and his name 
 perish ? 
 
 6 And if he come to see me, he speak- 
 
 eth 11 vanity; 
 
 His heart gathereth iniquity to itself : 
 When he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 
 
 7 All that hate me whisper together 
 
 against me : 
 
 Against me do they devise my hurt. 
 
 8 12 An evil disease, say they , 13 cleavetli

 And now that he lieth he shall rise up 
 no more. 
 
 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in 
 whom I trusted, which did eat of 
 my bread, 
 
 Hath lifted up his heel against me. 
 
 10 But thou, 0 Lord, have mercy upon 
 
 me, and raise me up, 
 
 That I may requite them. 
 
 11 By this I know that thou delightest 
 
 in me, 
 
 Because mine enemy doth not triumph 
 over me. 
 
 12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in 
 
 mine integrity, 
 
 And settest me before thy face for 
 ever.

 From everlasting and to everlasting.

 1 We have heard with our ears, 0 God, 
 our fathers have told us, 
 
 What work thou didst in their days, 
 in the days of old. 
 
 ‘2 Thou didst drive out the nations with 
 thy hand, and plantedst them in ; 
 Thou didst afflict the peoples, and 
 6 didst spread them abroad. 
 
 3 For they gat not the land in posses- 
 
 sion by their own sword, 
 
 Neither did their own arm save them: 
 But thy right hand, and thine arm, 
 and the light of thy countenance, 
 Because thou hadst a favour unto 
 them. 
 
 4 Thou art my King, 0 God : 
 
 Command 7 deliverance for Jacob. 
 
 5 Through thee wall we push down our 
 
 adversaries : 
 
 Through thy name will we tread them 
 under that rise up against us. 
 
 6 For I will not trust in my bow, 
 Neither shall my sword save me. 
 
 7 But thou hast saved us from our ad- 
 
 versaries, 
 
 And hast put them to shame that 
 hate us. 
 
 8 In God have we made our boast all

 And we will give thanks unto thy 
 name for ever. [Selah 
 
 9 But now thou hast cast us off, and 
 
 brought us to dishonour ; 
 
 And goest not forth with our hosts. 
 
 10 Thou makest us to turn back from 
 
 the adversary : 
 
 And they which hate us spoil for 
 themselves. 
 
 11 Thou hast given us like sheep ap- 
 
 pointed for meat ; 
 
 And hast scattered us among the 
 nations. 
 
 12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, 
 And hast not increased thy ivealth by 
 
 their price. 
 
 13 Thou makest us a reproach to our 
 
 neighbours, 
 
 A scorn and a derision to them that 
 are round about us. 
 
 14 Thou makest us a byword among the 
 
 nations, 
 
 A shaking of the head among the 
 peoples. 
 
 15 All the day long is my dishonour 
 
 before me, 
 
 And the shame of my face hath 
 covered me, 
 
 16 For the voice of him that reproach- 
 
 eth and blasphemeth ; 
 
 By reason of the enemy and the a- 
 venger.

 we not forgotten thee, 
 
 Neither have we dealt falsely in thy

 18 Our heart is not turned back, 
 
 Neither have our steps declined from 
 
 thy way;

 And covered us with the shadow of 
 death. 
 
 20 If we have forgotten the name of our

 Or spread forth our hands to a strange

 With the oil of gladness above thy

 8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and

 Out of ivory palaces stringed instru-

 and incline thine ear ; 
 
 Forget also thine own people, and thy

 For he is thy Lord; and worship 
 
 thou him.

 46 For the Chief Musician ; a Psalm of the 
 sons of Korah ; set to Alamoth. A Song. 
 
 1 God is our refuge and strength, 
 
 A very present help in trouble. 
 
 2 Therefore will we not fear, though the 
 
 earth do change, 
 
 And though the mountains be moved 
 in the heart of the seas ; 
 
 3 Though the waters thereof roar and 
 
 be troubled, 
 
 Though the mountains shake with the 
 9 swelling thereof. [Selah 
 
 4 There is a river, the streams where- 
 
 of make glad the city of God, 
 
 The holy place of the tabernacles of 
 the Most High. 
 
 5 God is in the midst of her ; she shall 
 
 not be moved : 
 
 God shall help her, 10 and that right 
 early. 
 
 6 The nations raged, the kingdoms 
 
 were moved : 
 
 He uttered his voice, the earth melted. 
 
 7 The Lord of hosts is with us ; 
 
 The God of Jacob is our 11 refuge. [Selali 
 
 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, 
 
 12 What desolations he hath made in 
 
 the earth. 
 
 9 He maketli wars to cease unto the 
 
 end of the earth ; 
 
 He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the 
 spear in sunder ; 
 
 He burnetii the chariots in the fire. 
 
 10 13 Be still, and know that I am God : 
 
 I will be exalted among the nations, ■ 
 I will be exalted in the earth. 
 
 11 The Lord of hosts is with us ; 
 
 The God of Jacob is our 11 refuge. [Selah

 2 For 14 the Lord Most High is terrible ; 
 He is a great King over all the earth. 
 
 3 He 15 shall subdue the peoples under us, 
 And the nations under our feet.

 1 Hear this, all ye peoples ; 
 
 Give ear, ail ye inhabitants of the 
 world : 
 
 2 Both low and high, 
 
 Rich and poor together. 
 
 3 My mouth shall speak wisdom ; 
 
 And the meditation of my heart shall 
 be of understanding. 
 
 4 1 will incline mine ear to a parable : 
 
 1 will open my dark saying upon the 
 harp. 
 
 5 Wherefore should I fear in the days 
 
 of evil, 
 
 When 9 iniquity at my heels coinpass- 
 efch me about ? 
 
 6 They that trust in their wealth, 
 
 And boast themselves in the multi- 
 tude of their riches ; 
 
 7 None of them can by any means re- 
 
 deem his brother, 
 
 Nor give to God a ransom for him: 
 
 8 (For the redemption of their soul is 
 
 costly, 
 
 And must be let alone for ever :) 
 
 9 That he should still live alway, 
 
 That he should not see 10 corruption. 
 
 10 11 For he seeth that wise men die, 
 
 The fool and the brutish together 
 perish, 
 
 And leave their wealth to others. 
 
 11 12 Their inward thought is, that their 
 houses shall continue for ever, 
 
 And their dwelling places to all gener- 
 ations ; 
 
 They call their lands after their own 
 names. 
 
 12 But 13 man abideth not in honour: 
 
 He is like the beasts that perish. 
 
 13 14 This their way is 15 their folly : 
 
 Yet after them men approve their 
 sayings. [Selali 
 
 14 They are appointed as a flock for Slieol; 
 Death shall be their shepherd: 
 
 And the upright shall have dominion 
 over them in the morning ; 
 
 And their 1(3 beauty shall be for Slieol 
 to consume, that there be no habit- 
 ation for it. 
 
 15 But God will redeem my soul from the 
 
 17 power of Slieol : 
 
 For he shall receive me. [Selah 
 
 16 Be not thou afraid when one is made 
 
 rich, 
 
 YvTien the 18 glory of his house is in- 
 creased : 
 
 17 For when he dieth he shall carry 
 
 nothing away; 
 
 His glory shall not descend after him. 
 
 18 Though while he lived he blessed his 
 
 soul, 
 
 And men praise thee, when thou 
 doest well to thyself, 
 
 19 19 He shall go to the generation of his

 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee :

 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, 
 
 Or drink the blood of goats ? 
 
 14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanks- 
 
 giving; 
 
 And pay thy vows unto the Most High : 
 
 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble ; 
 I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify 
 
 me. 
 
 16 But unto the wicked God saitli, 
 
 What hast thou to do to declare my 
 
 statutes, 
 
 And that thou hast taken my covenant 
 in thy mouth ? 
 
 17 Seeing thou hatest 7 instruction, 
 
 And castest my words behind thee. 
 
 18 When thou sawest a thief, thou con- 
 
 sentedst with him, 
 
 And 8 hast been partaker with adul- 
 terers. 
 
 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, 
 
 And thy tongue frameth deceit. 
 
 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy 
 
 brother ; 
 
 Thou 9 slanderest thine own mother’s 
 son. 
 
 21 These things hast thou done, and I 
 
 kept silence ; 
 
 Thou thoughtest that I was altogether 
 such an one as thyself : 
 
 But I will reprove thee, and set them 
 in order before thine eyes. 
 
 22 Now consider this, ye that forget 
 
 God, 
 
 Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be 
 none to deliver : 
 
 23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanks- 
 
 giving glorifieth me ; 
 
 10 And to him that ordereth his 11 con- 
 versation aright 
 
 Will I shew the salvation of God. 
 
 51 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David : 
 when Nathan the prophet came unto him, 
 after he had gone in to Batli-sheba. 
 
 1 Have mercy upon me, 0 God, according 
 
 to thy lovingkindness : 
 
 According to the multitude of thy 
 tender mercies blot out my trans- 
 gressions. 
 
 2 W ash me throughly from mine iniquity, 
 And cleanse me from my sin. 
 
 3 For 1 12 acknowledge my transgressions : 
 And my sin is ever before me. 
 
 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, 
 And done that which is evil in thy 
 
 sight : 
 
 That thou mayest be justified when 
 thou speakest, 
 
 And be clear when thou judgest. 
 
 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity ; 
 
 And in sin did my mother conceive me. 
 
 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the in- 
 
 ward parts : 
 
 And in the hidden part thou shalt make 
 me to know wisdom. 
 
 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be 
 
 clean : 
 
 Wash me, and I shall be whiter than 
 snow. 
 
 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness ; 
 That the bones which thou hast broken 
 
 may rejoice. 
 
 9 Hide thy face from my sins, 
 
 And blot out all mine iniquities. 
 
 10 Create 13 in me a clean heart, O God; 
 And renew a 14 right spirit within me. 
 
 11 Cast me not away from thy presence ; 
 And take not thy holy spirit from me. 
 
 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salva- 
 
 tion: 
 
 And uphold me with a 15 free spirit. 
 
 13 Then will I teacli transgressors thy 
 
 ways ; 
 
 And sinners shall 16 be converted unto 
 thee. 
 
 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O 
 
 God, thou God of my salvation ; 
 
 And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy 
 righteousness. 
 
 15 0 Lord, open thou my lips ; 
 
 And my mouth shall shew forth thy 
 praise. 
 
 16 For thou delightest not in sacrifice; 
 17 else would I give it : 
 
 Thou hast no pleasure in burnt offering. 
 
 17 The sacrifices cf God are a broken 
 
 spirit : 
 
 A broken and a contrite heart, 0 God, 
 thou wilt not despise. 
 
 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion : 
 Build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 
 
 19 Then shalt thou delight in the sacrifices 
 
 of righteousness, in burnt offering 
 and whole burnt offering : 
 
 Then shall they offer bullocks upon 
 thine altar.

 They that would cut me off, being mine 
 enemies 9 wrongfully, are mighty: 
 Then 1 10 restored that which I took not

 5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness ; 
 And my 11 sins are not hid from thee. 
 
 6 Let not them that wait on thee be

 Let not those that seek thee be

 reproach ; 
 
 Shame hath covered my face. 
 
 8 1 am become a stranger unto my breth-

 And an alien unto my mother’s child-

 9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten 
 me up; 
 
 And the reproaches of them that 
 reproach thee are fallen upon me. 
 
 10 When I wept, and chastened my soul 
 
 with fasting, 
 
 That was to my reproach. 
 
 11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, 
 
 I became a proverb unto them. 
 
 12 They that sit in the gate talk of me ; 
 And I am the song of the drunkards. 
 
 13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, 
 
 0 Lord, in an acceptable time : 
 
 0 God, in the multitude of thy mercy. 
 Answer me in the truth of thy salvation. 
 
 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me 
 
 not sink: 
 
 Let me be delivered from them that 
 hate me, and out of the deep waters. 
 
 15 Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, 
 Neither let the deep swallow me up; 
 And let not the pit shut her mouth 
 
 upon me. 
 
 16 Answer me, 0 Lord ; for thy loving- 
 
 kindness is good : 
 
 According to the multitude of thy 
 tender mercies turn thou unto me. 
 
 17 And hide not thy face from thy serv- 
 
 ant; 
 
 For I am in distress ; answer me 
 speedily. 
 
 18 Draw nigh unto my soul; and redeem 
 
 it: 
 
 Ransom me because of mine enemies. 
 
 19 Thou knowest my reproach, and my 
 
 shame, and my dishonour : 
 
 Mine adversaries are all before thee. 
 
 20 Reproach hath broken my heart ; and 
 
 I am 12 full of heaviness: 
 
 And I looked for some to take pity, 
 but there was none ; 
 
 And for comforters, but I found none. 
 
 21 They gave me also 13 gall for my meat ; 
 And in my thirst they gave me vine- 
 gar to drink. 
 
 22 Let their table before them become a 
 
 snare ; 
 
 And when they are in peace, let it 
 become a trap. 
 
 23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they 
 
 see not ; 
 
 And make their loins continually to 
 shake. 
 
 24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, 
 And let the fierceness of thine anger 
 
 overtake them. 
 
 25 Let their 14 habitation be desolate; 
 
 Let none dwell in their tents.

 ever ? 
 
 Why doth thine anger smoke against 
 the sheep of thy pasture ?

 thou hast purchased of old, 
 
 Which thou hast redeemed to be the 
 tribe of thine inheritance ; 
 
 And mount Zion, wherein thou hast 
 dwelt. 
 
 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual 
 
 ruins, 
 
 0 All the evil that the enemy hath done 
 in the sanctuary. 
 
 4 Thine adversaries have roared in the 
 
 midst of thine assembly ; 
 
 They have set up their ensigns for signs. 
 
 5 They 10 seemed as men that lifted up 
 Axes upon a thicket of trees. 
 
 6 And now all the carved work thereof 
 
 together 
 
 They break down with hatchet and 
 hammers. 
 
 7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire ; 
 They have profaned the dwelling place 
 
 of thy name even to the ground. 
 
 8 They said in their heart, Let us make 
 
 havoc of them altogether : 
 
 They have burned up all the 11 syna- 
 gogues of God in the land. 
 
 9 We see not our signs : 
 
 There is no more any prophet ; 
 
 Neither is there among us any that 
 knoweth how long. 
 
 10 How long, O God, shall the adversary 
 
 reproach ? 
 
 Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name 
 for ever ? 
 
 11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, 
 
 even thy right hand? 
 
 Pluck it out of thy bosom and con- 
 sume them. 
 
 12 Yet God is my King of old, 
 
 Working salvation in the midst of the 
 
 earth. 
 
 13 Thou didst 12 divide the sea by thy 
 
 strength : 
 
 Thou brakest the heads of the 18 drag- 
 ons in the waters. 
 
 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan 
 
 in pieces, 
 
 Thou gavest him to be meat to the 
 people inhabiting the wilderness. 
 
 15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: 
 Thou driedst up 14 mighty rivers. 
 
 16 The day is thine, the night also is 
 
 thine : 
 
 Thou hast prepared the 15 light and 
 the sun. 
 
 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the 
 
 earth : 
 
 Thou hast made summer and winter. 
 
 18 Remember this, that the enemy 16 hath 
 
 reproached, O Lord, 
 
 And that a foolish people have blas- 
 phemed thy name. 
 
 19 O deliver not 17 the soul of thy turtle- 
 
 dove unto the wild beast: 
 
 Forget not the 18 life Of thy poor for ever. 
 
 20 Have respect unto the covenant : 
 
 For the dark places of the 19 earth are 
 
 full of the habitations of violence. 
 
 21 0 let not the oppressed return a- 
 shamed : 
 
 Let the poor and needy praise thy name. 
 
 22 Arise, 0 God, plead thine own cause : 
 Remember how the foolish man re-

 4 O Lord God of hosts, 
 
 How long 4 wilt thou be angry against 
 the prayer of thy jDeople ? 
 
 5 Thou hast fed them with the bread 
 
 of tears, 
 
 And given them tears to drink in 
 large measure. 
 
 6 Thou makest us a strife unto our 
 
 neighbours : 
 
 And our enemies laugh among them- 
 selves. 
 
 7 Turn us again, O God of hosts ; 
 
 And cause thy face to shine, and we

 8 Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt : 
 Thou didst drive out the nations, and 
 
 plantedst it. 
 
 9 Thou preparedst room before it, 
 
 And it took deep root, and filled the 
 land. 
 
 10 The mountains were covered with the 
 
 shadow of it, 
 
 And 5 the boughs thereof were like 
 6 cedars of God. 
 
 11 She sent out her branches unto the 
 
 sea, 
 
 And her shoots unto the Eiver. 
 
 12 Why hast thou broken down her fences, 
 So that all they which pass by the 
 
 way do pluck her ? 
 
 13 The boar out of the wood doth ravage 
 
 it, 
 
 And the wild beasts of the field feed 
 on it. 
 
 14 Turn again, we beseech thee, 0 God of 
 
 hosts : 
 
 Look down from heaven, and behold, 
 and visit this vine, 
 
 15 And 7 the stock which thy right hand 
 
 hath planted, 
 
 And the 8 branch that thou madest 
 . strong for thyself. 
 
 16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down : 
 They perish at the rebuke of thy 
 
 countenance. 
 
 17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy 
 
 right hand, 
 
 Upon the son of man whom thou 
 madest strong for thyself. 
 
 18 So shall we not go back from thee : 
 Quicken thou us, and we will call upon 
 
 thy name. 
 
 19 Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts ; 
 Cause thy face to shine, and we shall 
 
 be saved.

 0 JAH? 
 
 And thy faithfulness is round about 
 thee. 
 
 9 Thou rulest the pride of the sea : 
 When the waves thereof arise, thou 
 
 stillest them. 
 
 10 Thou hast broken 6 Bahab in pieces, 
 
 as one that is slain ; 
 
 Thou hast scattered thine enemies with 
 the arm of thy strength. 
 
 11 The heavens are thine, the earth also 
 
 is thine : 
 
 The world and the fulness thereof, 
 thou hast founded them. 
 
 12 The north and the south, thou hast 
 
 created them : 
 
 Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy 
 name. 
 
 13 Thou hast 7 a mighty arm : 
 
 Strong is thy hand, and high is thy 
 right hand. 
 
 14 Bighteousness and judgement are the 
 
 foundation of thy throne : 
 
 Mercy and truth go before thy face. 
 
 15 Blessed is the people that know the 
 
 8 joyful sound : 
 
 They walk, O Lord, in the light of thy 
 countenance. 
 
 16 In thy name do they rejoice all the 
 
 day: 
 
 And in thy righteousness are they 
 exalted. 
 
 17 For thou art the glory of their strength : 
 And in thy favour 9 our horn shall be 
 
 exalted. 
 
 18 For our shield belongeth unto the 
 
 Lord ; 
 
 10 And our king to the Holy One of 
 Israel. 
 
 19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy 
 
 11 saints, 
 
 And saidst, I have laid help upon one 
 that is mighty ; 
 
 I have exalted one chosen out of the 
 people. 
 
 201 have found David my servant ; 
 
 With my holy oil have I anointed him : 
 
 21 With whom my hand shall be estab- 
 
 lished ; 
 
 Mine arm also shall strengthen him. 
 
 22 The enemy shall not 12 exact upon him ; 
 Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 
 
 23 And I will beat down his adversaries 
 
 before him, 
 
 And smite them that hate him. 
 
 24 But my faithfulness and my mercy 
 
 shall be with him ; 
 
 And in my name shall his horn be 
 exalted. 
 
 25 1 will set his hand also on the sea, 
 And his right hand on the rivers. 
 
 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my 
 father, 
 
 My God, and the rock of my salvation. 
 27 1 also will make him my firstborn, 
 
 The highest of the kings of the earth. 
 
 28 My mercy will I keep for him for ever- 
 
 more, 
 
 And my covenant shall 13 stand fast 
 with him. 
 
 29 His seed also will I make to endure 
 
 for ever, 
 
 And his throne as the days of heaven. 
 
 30 If his children forsake my law, 
 
 And walk not in my judgements ; 
 
 31 If they 14 break my statutes, 
 
 And keep not my commandments ; 
 
 32 Then will I visit their transgression 
 
 with the rod, 
 
 And their iniquity with stripes.

 ruin. 
 
 41 All that pass by the way spoil him :

 42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of

 Thou hast made all his enemies to 
 rejoice. 
 
 43 Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his 
 
 sword, 
 
 And hast not made him to stand in 
 the battle. 
 
 44 Thou hast made his brightness to cease, 
 And cast his throne down to the 
 
 ground. 
 
 45 The days of his youth hast thou 
 
 shortened : 
 
 Thou host covered him with 
 shame. [Selah

 How long shall thy wrath burn like 
 fire? 
 
 47 O remember how short my time is : 
 For what vanity hast thou created all 
 
 the children of men !

 00 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. 
 
 lLord, thou hast been our dwelling 
 place 
 
 In all generations. 
 
 2 Before the mountains were brought 
 
 forth, 
 
 Or ever thou 1 hadst formed the earth 
 and the world, 
 
 Even from everlasting to everlasting, 
 thou art G-od. 
 
 3 Thou turnest man to 2 destruction; 
 And sayest, Beturn, ye children of 
 
 men. 
 
 4 For a thousand years in thy sight 
 Are but as yesterday 3 when it is past, 
 And as a watch in the night. 
 
 5 Thou earnest them away as with a 
 
 flood ; they are as a sleep : 
 
 In the morning they are like grass 
 which groweth up. 
 
 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and 
 
 groweth up ; 
 
 In the evening it is cut down, and 
 withereth. 
 
 7 For we are consumed in thine anger, 
 And in thy wrath are we troubled. 
 
 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before 
 
 thee, 
 
 Our secret sins in the light of thy 
 countenance. 
 
 9 For all our days are passed away in 
 thy wrath : 
 
 We bring our years to an end as 4 a 
 tale that is told. 
 
 10 The days of our years are threescore 
 
 years and ten, 
 
 Or even by reason of strength four- 
 score years ; 
 
 Yet is their pride but labour and 
 sorrow ; 
 
 For it is soon gone, and we fly away. 
 
 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger, 
 And thy wrath according to the fear 
 
 that is due unto thee ? 
 
 12 So teach us to number our days, 
 
 That we may get us an heart of wisdom. 
 
 13 Return, O Lord; how long? 
 
 And let it repent thee concerning thy 
 servants. 
 
 14 O satisfy us in the morning with thy 
 
 mercy ; 
 
 That we may rejoice and be glad all 
 our days. 
 
 15 Make us glad according to the days 
 
 wherein thou hast afflicted us, 
 
 And the years wherein we have seen 
 evil.

 the Lord, 
 
 And all the kings of the earth thy glory :

 He hath appeared in his glory ; 
 
 17 He hath regarded the prayer of the 
 
 destitute, 
 
 And hath not despised their prayer. 
 
 18 This shall be written for the genera- 
 
 tion to come : 
 
 And a people which shall be created 
 shall praise 8 the Lord. 
 
 19 For he hath looked down from the 
 
 height of his sanctuary ; 
 
 From heaven did the Lord behold the 
 earth ; 
 
 20 To hear the sighing of the prisoner ; 
 To loose 9 those that are appointed to 
 
 death ; 
 
 21 That men may declare the name of 
 
 the Lord in Zion, 
 
 And his praise in Jerusalem;

 And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

 1 Hear my prayer, O Lord, 
 
 And let my cry come unto thee. 
 
 2 Hide not thy face from me in the day 
 
 of my distress : 
 
 Incline thine ear unto me ; 
 
 In the day when I call answer me 
 speedily. 
 
 3 For my days consume away 4 like smoke, 
 And my bones are burned 5 as a fire-

 For I forget to eat my bread. 
 
 5 By reason of the voice of my groaning

 6 1 am like a pelican of the wilderness ; 
 
 I am become as an owl of the waste 
 places. 
 
 7 1 watch, and am become 
 Like a sparrow that is alone upon the

 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day,'; 
 They that are mad against me do 
 
 curse by me. 
 
 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, 
 
 And mingled my drink with weeping. 
 
 10 Because of -thine indignation and thy 
 
 wrath : 
 
 For thou hast taken me up, and cast 
 me away. 
 
 11 My days are like a shadow that 6 de- 
 
 clineth ; 
 
 And I am withered like grass. 
 
 12 But thou, O Lord, ? shalt abide for 
 
 ever ;

 13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy 
 
 upon Zion: 
 
 For it is time to have pity upon her, 
 yea, the set time is come.

 dure: 
 
 Yea, all of them shall wax old like a

 and they shall be changed : 
 
 27 But thou art the same, 
 
 And thy years shall have no end.

 Neither will he keep his anger for ever. 
 
 10 He hath not dealt with us after our

 Who stretchest out the heavens like a

 Who maketh the clouds his chariot ; 
 Who walketh upon the wings of the 
 wind : 
 
 4 Who maketh 1 winds his messengers; 
 His ministers a flaming fire : 
 
 5 2 Who laid the foundations of the earth, 
 
 That it should not be moved for ever. 
 
 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as 
 
 with a vesture ; 
 
 The waters stood above the mount- 
 ains. 
 
 7 At thy rebuke they fled ; 
 
 At the voice of thy thunder they 
 hasted away; 
 
 8 3 They went up by the mountains, 
 they went down by the valleys, 
 Unto the place which thou hadst 
 founded for them. 
 
 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may 
 not pass over ; 
 
 That they turn not again to cover the 
 earth. 
 
 10 He sendetli forth springs into the 
 
 valleys ; 
 
 They run among the mountains : 
 
 11 They give drink to every beast of the 
 
 field; 
 
 The wild asses quench their thirst. 
 
 12 By them the fowl of the heaven have 
 
 their habitation, 
 
 They 4 sing among the branches. 
 
 13 He water eth the mountains from his 
 
 chambers : 
 
 The earth is satisfied with the fruit of 
 thy works. 
 
 14 He causeth the grass to grow for the 
 
 cattle, 
 
 And herb for the 5 service of man ; 
 That he may bring forth 6 food out of 
 the earth: 
 
 15 And wine that maketh glad the heart

 1 And oil to make his face to shine, 
 And bread that strengtheneth man’s 
 heart. 
 
 16 The trees of the Lord are 8 satisfied ; 
 The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath 
 
 planted ; 
 
 17 Where the birds make their nests : 
 
 As for the stork, the fir trees are her 
 house. 
 
 18 The high mountains are for the wild 
 
 goats; 
 
 The rocks are a refuge for the 9 conies. 
 
 19 He appointed the moon for seasons : 
 The sun knoweth his going down. 
 
 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night ; 
 Wherein all the beasts of the forest do 
 
 creep forth. 
 
 21 The young lions roar after their prey, 
 And seek their meat from God. 
 
 22 The sun ariseth, they get them away, 
 And lay them down in their dens. 
 
 23 Man goeth forth unto his work 
 And to his labour until the evening. 
 
 24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works ! 
 In wisdom hast thou made them all : 
 The earth is full of thy 10 riches. 
 
 25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, 
 Wherein are things creeping innumer-

 for ever, 
 
 The word which he commanded to a 
 thousand generations ; 
 
 9 The covenant which he made with 
 
 Abraham, 
 
 And his oath unto Isaac ; 
 
 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob 
 
 for a statute, 
 
 To Israel for an everlasting covenant : 
 
 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land 
 
 of Canaan, 
 
 The 4 lot of your inheritance : 
 
 12 When they were but a few men in 
 
 number ; 
 
 Yea, very few, and sojourners in it ; 
 
 13 And they went about from nation to 
 
 nation, 
 
 From one kingdom to another people. 
 
 14 He suffered no man to do them wrong ; 
 Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes ; 
 
 15 Saying , Touch not mine anointed ones, 
 And do my prophets no harm. 
 
 16 And he called for a famine upon the 
 
 land ; 
 
 He brake the whole staff of bread. 
 
 17 He sent a man before them ; 
 
 Joseph was sold for a servant: 
 
 18 His feet they hurt with fetters ; 
 
 5 He was laid in chains of iron : 
 
 19 Until the time that his word came to 
 
 pass; 
 
 The word of the Lord tried him. 
 
 20 The king sent and loosed him ; 
 
 Even the ruler of peoples, and let him 
 
 go free. 
 
 21 He made him lord of his house, 
 
 And ruler of all his substance : 
 
 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, 
 And teach his 6 senators wisdom. 
 
 23 Israel also came into Egypt ; 
 
 And Jacob sojourned in the land of 
 Ham. 
 
 24 And he increased his people greatly, 
 And made them stronger than their 
 
 adversaries. 
 
 25 He turned their heart to hate his 
 
 people, 
 
 To deal subtilly with his servants. 
 
 26 He sent Moses his servant, 
 
 And Aaron whom he had chosen. 
 
 27 7 They set among them 8 his signs, 
 
 And wonders in the land of Flam. 
 
 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark ; 
 And they rebelled not against his 
 
 words. 
 
 29 He turned their waters into blood, 
 And slew their fish. 
 
 30 Their land swarmed with frogs, 
 
 In the chambers of their kings. 
 
 31 He spake, and there came swarms 
 
 of flies, 
 
 And 9 lice in all their borders. 
 
 32 He gave them hail for rain, 
 
 And flaming fire in their land. 
 
 33 He smote their vines also and their 
 
 fig trees ; 
 
 And brake the trees of their borders. 
 
 34 He spake, and the locust came, 
 
 And the cankerworm, and that with- 
 out number, 
 
 35 And did eat up every herb in their land. 
 And did eat up the fruit of their ground. 
 
 36 He smote also all the firstborn in their 
 
 land, 
 
 The 10 chief of all their strength. 
 
 37 And he brought them forth with silver 
 
 and gold : 
 
 And there was 11 not one feeble person 
 among his tribes.

 For the fear of them had fallen upon

 6 We have sinned with our fathers, 
 
 We have committed iniquity, we have 
 
 done wickedly. 
 
 7 Our fathers understood not thy won- 
 
 ders in Egypt ; 
 
 They remembered not the multitude 
 of thy mercies ; 
 
 But were rebellious at the sea, even 
 at the Bed Sea. 
 
 8 Nevertheless he saved them for his 
 
 name’s sake, 
 
 That he might make his mighty power 
 to be known. 
 
 9 He rebuked the Bed Sea also, and it 
 
 was dried up : 
 
 So he led them through the depths, 
 as through a 2 wilderness. 
 
 10 And he saved them from the hand of 
 
 him that hated them, 
 
 And redeemed them from the hand of 
 the enemy. 
 
 11 And the waters covered their advers- 
 
 aries : 
 
 There was not one of them left. 
 
 12 Then believed they his words ; 
 
 They sang his praise. 
 
 13 They soon f orgat his works ; 
 
 They waited not for his counsel : 
 
 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilder- 
 
 ness, 
 
 And tempted God in the desert. 
 
 15 Amd he gave them their request ; 
 
 But sent leanness into their soul. 
 
 16 They envied Moses also in the camp, 
 And Aaron the 3 saint of the Lord. 
 
 17 The earth opened and swallowed up 
 
 Dathan, 
 
 And covered the company of Abiram. 
 
 18 And a fire was kindled in their company; 
 The flame burned up the wicked. 
 
 19 They made a calf in Horeb, 
 
 And worshipped a molten image. 
 
 20 Thus they changed their glory 
 
 For the likeness of an ox that eateth 
 grass. 
 
 21 They forgat God their saviour, 
 
 Which had done great things in Egypt ; 
 
 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, 
 And terrible things by the Bed Sea. 
 
 23 Therefore he said that he would de- 
 
 stroy them, 
 
 Had not Moses his chosen stood before 
 him in the breach, 
 
 To turn away his wrath, lest he should 
 destroy them. 
 
 24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, 
 They believed not his word ; 
 
 25 But murmured in their tents, 
 
 And hearkened not unto the voice of 
 the Lord. 
 
 26 Therefore he lifted up his hand unto 
 
 them, 
 
 That he would 4 overthrow them in the 
 wilderness : 
 
 27 And that he would overthrow their 
 
 seed among the nations, 
 
 And scatter them in the lands. 
 
 28 They joined themselves also unto 
 
 5 Baal-peor, 
 
 And ate the sacrifices of the dead. 
 
 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with 
 
 their doings ; 
 
 And the plague brake in upon them. 
 
 30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed 
 
 judgement : 
 
 And so the plague was stayed. 
 
 31 And that was counted unto him for 
 
 righteousness, 
 
 Unto all generations for evermore. 
 
 32 They angered him also at the waters 
 
 of 6 Meribah, 
 
 So that it went ill with Moses for their 
 sakes : 
 
 33 Because they were rebellious against 
 
 his spirit, 
 
 And he spake unadvisedly with his lips. 
 
 34 They did not destroy the peoples, 
 
 As the Lord commanded them ; 
 
 35 But mingled themselves with the na- 
 
 tions, 
 
 And learned their works : 
 
 36 And they served their idols ; 
 
 Which became a snare unto them : 
 
 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and 
 
 their daughters unto demons, 
 
 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood 
 
 of their sons and of their daughters, 
 Whom they sacrificed unto the idols

 And went a whoring in their doings. 
 
 40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord 
 
 kindled against his people, 
 
 And he abhorred his inheritance.

 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say 
 
 so, 
 
 Whom he hath redeemed from the

 From the east and from the west, 
 From the north and 1 from the south. 
 
 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a 
 
 desert way ; 
 
 They found no city of habitation. 
 
 5 Hungry and thirsty, 
 
 Their soul fainted in them. 
 
 6 Then they cried unto the Lord in 
 
 their trouble, 
 
 And he delivered them out of their 
 distresses. 
 
 7 He led them also by a straight way, 
 That they might go to a city of habit-

 for his goodness, 
 
 And for his wonderful works to the

 And the hungry soul he filleth with 
 
 good. 
 
 10 Such as sat in darkness and in the 
 
 shadow of death, 
 
 Being bound in affliction and iron ; 
 
 11 Because they rebelled against the 
 
 words of God, 
 
 And contemned the counsel of the 
 Most High : 
 
 12 Therefore he brought down their heart 
 
 with labour ; 
 
 They fell down, and there was none to 
 help. 
 
 13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their 
 
 trouble, 
 
 And he saved them out of their dis- 
 tresses. 
 
 14 He brought them out of darkness and 
 
 the shadow of death, 
 
 And brake their bands in sunder. 
 
 15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for 
 
 his goodness, 
 
 And for his wonderful works to the 
 children of men ! 
 
 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, 
 And cut the bars of iron in sunder. 
 
 17 Fools because of 2 their transgression, 
 And because of their iniquities, are 
 
 afflicted. 
 
 18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of 
 
 meat; 
 
 And they draw near unto the gates of 
 death. 
 
 19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their 
 
 trouble, 
 
 And he saveth them out of their dis- 
 tresses. 
 
 20 He sendeth his word, and healeth 
 
 them, 
 
 And delivereth them from their 3 de-

 21 Oh that men would praise the Lord 
 
 for his goodness, 
 
 And for his wonderful works to the

 thanksgiving, 
 
 And declare his works with singing.

 124 A Song of Ascents ; of David. 
 
 1 If it had not been the Lord who was 
 
 on our side, 
 
 Let Israel now say ; 
 
 2 If it had not been the Lord who was 
 
 on our side, 
 
 When men rose up against us : 
 
 3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, 
 When their wrath was kindled against 
 
 us: 
 
 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, 
 The stream had gone over our soul : 
 
 5 Then the proud waters had gone over 
 
 our soul. 
 
 6 Blessed be the Lord, 
 
 Who hath not given us as a prey to 
 their teeth. 
 
 7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the 
 
 snare of the fowlers : 
 
 The snare is broken, and we are 
 escaped. 
 
 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, 
 Who made heaven and earth.

 Let us go unto the house of the Lord. 
 
 2 Our feet 2 are standing 
 Within thy gates, O Jerusalem; 
 
 3 Jerusalem, that art builded 
 
 As a city that is compact together : 
 
 4 Whither the tribes go up, even the 
 
 tribes of 3 the Lord, 
 
 For a testimony unto Israel, 
 
 To give thanks unto the name of the 
 Lord.

 123 A Song of Ascents. 
 
 1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, 
 
 O thou that sittest in the heavens. 
 
 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants loolc

 As the eyes of a maiden unto the 
 hand of her mistress ; 
 
 So our eyes loolc unto the Lord our 
 God, 
 
 Until he have mercy upon us. 
 
 3 Have mercy upon us, 0 Lord, have 
 
 mercy upon us : 
 
 For we are exceedingly filled with 
 contempt. 
 
 4 Our soul is exceedingly filled 
 
 With the scorning of those that are 
 at ease, 
 
 And with the contempt of the proud.

 1 They that trust in the Lord 
 
 Are as mount Zion, which cannot be 
 moved, but abideth for ever. 
 
 2 As the mountains are round about 
 
 Jerusalem, 
 
 So the Lord is round about his people, 
 From this time forth and for ever- 
 more. 
 
 3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not 
 
 rest upon the lot of the righteous ; 
 That the righteous put not forth their 
 hands unto iniquity. 
 
 4 Do good, 0 Lord, unto those that 
 
 be good, 
 
 And to them that are upright in their 
 hearts. 
 
 5 But as for such as turn aside unto 
 
 their crooked ways, 
 
 The Lord shall lead them forth with 
 the workers of iniquity. 
 
 Peace be upon Israel.

 lWhen the Lord 8 turned again the 
 captivity of Zion, 
 
 We were like unto them that dream. 
 
 2 Then was our mouth filled with

 And our tongue with singing : 
 
 Then said they among the nations, 
 The Lord hath done great things for 
 them. 
 
 3 The Lord hath done great things for

 Whereof we are glad.

 THE PEOVEEBS. 
 
 1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of 
 
 David, king of Israel : 
 
 2 To know wisdom and instruction ; 
 
 To discern the words of understand- 
 ing; 
 
 3 To receive instruction in wise dealing, 
 In righteousness and judgement and 
 
 equity; 
 
 4 To give 1 subtilty to the simple, 
 
 To the young man knowledge and dis- 
 cretion : 
 
 5 That the wise man may hear, and in- 
 
 crease in learning ; 
 
 And that the man of understanding 
 may attain unto sound counsels : 
 
 6 To understand a proverb, and 2 a figure ; 
 The words of the wise, and their 3 dark 
 
 sayings. 
 
 7 The fear of the Lord is the 4 begin- 
 
 ning of knowledge i 
 
 But the foolish despise wisdom and 
 instruction. 
 
 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy 
 
 father, 
 
 And forsake not the 6 law of thy 
 mother : 
 
 9 For they shall be a chaplet of grace 
 
 unto thy head, 
 
 And chains about thy neck. 
 
 10 My son, if sinners entice thee, 
 
 Consent thou not. 
 
 11 If they say, Come with us, 
 
 Let us lay wait for blood, 
 
 Let us lurk privily for the innocent 
 without cause ; 
 
 12 Let us swallow them up alive as 6 Sheol, 
 7 And whole, as those that go down 
 
 into the pit ; 
 
 13 We shall find all precious substance, 
 We shall fill our houses with spoil; 
 
 14 8 Thou shalt cast thy lot among us ; 
 
 We will all have one purse : 
 
 15 My son, walk not thou in the way with 
 
 them; 
 
 Eefrain thy foot from their path : 
 
 16 For their feet run to evil, 
 
 And they make haste to shed blood. 
 
 17 For in vain 9 is the net spread, 
 
 In the eyes of any bird : 
 
 18 And these lay wait for their own blood, 
 They lurk privily for their own lives. 
 
 19 So are the ways of every one that is 
 
 greedy of gain ; 
 
 It taketli away the life of the owners 
 thereof. 
 
 20 Wisdom crieth aloud in the street ; 
 
 She uttereth her voice in the broad 
 
 places ; 
 
 21 She crieth 10 in the chief place of con- 
 
 course ; 
 
 At the entering in of the gates, 
 
 In the city, she uttereth her words : 
 
 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love 
 
 simplicity ? 
 
 And scorners delight them in scorning, 
 And fools hate knowledge ? 
 
 23 Turn you at my reproof : 
 
 Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto 
 you, 
 
 I will make known my words unto 
 you. 
 
 24 Because I have called, and ye refused ; 
 I have stretched out my hand, and no 
 
 man regarded ; 
 
 25 But ye have set at nought all my 
 
 counsel, 
 
 And would none of my reproof : 
 
 26 1 also will laugh in the day of your 
 calamity ; 
 
 I will mock when your fear cometh ; 
 
 27 YvTien your fear cometh as 11 a storm, 
 And your calamity cometh on as a 
 
 whirlwind ; 
 
 When distress and anguish come upon 
 you. 
 
 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I 
 
 will not answer ; 
 
 They shall seek me 12 diligently, but 
 they shall not find me : 
 
 29 For that they hated knowledge, 
 
 And did not choose the fear of the 
 Lord: 
 
 30 They would none of my counsel ; 
 
 They despised all my reproof : 
 
 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit 
 
 of their own way, 
 
 And be filled with their own devices. 
 
 32 For the backsliding of the simple shall 
 . slay them, 
 
 And the 13 prosperity of fools shall de- 
 stroy them. 
 
 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall 
 
 dwell securely, 
 
 And shall be quiet without fear of 
 evil. 
 
 2 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, 
 And lay up my commandments with 
 thee; 
 
 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto 
 
 wisdom, 
 
 And apply thine heart to understand- 
 ing ; 
 
 3 Yea, if thou cry after discernment, 
 
 And lift up thy voice for understand- 
 ing; 
 
 4 If thou seek her as silver, 
 
 And search for her as for hid treasures ;' 
 
 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear 
 
 of the Lord, 
 
 And find the knowledge of God.

 12 To deliver thee from the way of 4 evil, 
 From the men that speak froward

 13 Who forsake the paths of uprightness, 
 To walk in the ways of darkness ; 
 
 14 Who rejoice to do evil, 
 
 And delight in the frowardness of

 15 Who are crooked in their ways, 
 
 And perverse in their paths : 
 
 16 To deliver thee from the strange

 tereth with her words ; 
 
 17 Which forsaketh the 6 friend of her

 And f orgetteth the covenant of her God :

 And her paths unto 8 the dead: 
 
 19 None that go unto her return again, 
 Neither do they attain unto the paths 
 
 of life : 
 
 20 That thou mayest walk in the way of 
 
 good men, 
 
 And keep the paths of the righteous. 
 
 21 For the upright shall dwell in the 
 
 9 land, 
 
 And the perfect shall remain in it. 
 
 22 But the wicked shall be cut off from 
 
 the 9 land, 
 
 And they that deal treacherously shall 
 be rooted out of it. 
 
 3 My son, forget not my 10 law ; 
 
 But let thine heart keep my command- 
 ments : 
 
 2 For length of days, and years of life, 
 And peace, shall they add to thee. 
 
 3 Let not 11 mercy and truth forsake thee : 
 Bind them about thy neck ; 
 
 Write them upon the table of thine 
 heart : 
 
 4 So shalt thou find favour and 12 good 
 
 understanding 
 
 In the sight of God and man. 
 
 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, 
 • And lean not upon thine own under- 
 standing : 
 
 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, 
 
 And he shall 13 direct thy paths. 
 
 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes ; 
 
 Fear the Lord, and depart from evil: 
 
 8 It shall be health to thy navel, 
 
 And 14 marrow to thy bones. 
 
 9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, 
 And with the firstfruits of all thine 
 
 increase : 
 
 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, 
 And thy fats shall overflow with new 
 wine.

 proveth ; 
 
 Even as a father the son in whom he 
 deligliteth. 
 
 13 Happy is the man that findeth wis- 
 
 dom,

 14 For the merchandise of it is better 
 
 than the merchandise of silver, 
 
 And the gain thereof than fine gold. 
 
 15 She is more precious than 17 rubies :

 sire are to be compared unto her. 
 
 16 Length of days is in her right hand ; 
 In her left hand are riches and honour. 
 
 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, 
 And all her paths are peace. 
 
 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay 
 
 hold upon her : 
 
 And happy is every one that retaineth 
 her.

 By understanding he established the

 4 Hear, my sons, the instruction of a 
 father, 
 
 And attend to know understanding : 
 
 2 For I give you good doctrine ; 
 
 Forsake ye not my 5 law. 
 
 3 For I was a son unto my father, 
 Tender and 6 only beloved in the sight 
 
 of my mother. 
 
 4 And he taught me, and said unto me, 
 Let thine heart retain my words ; 
 
 Keep my commandments, and live : 
 
 5 Get wisdom, get understanding ; 
 Forget it not, neither decline from the 
 
 words of my mouth : 
 
 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve 
 
 thee; 
 
 Love her, and she shall keep thee. 
 
 7 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; there- 
 
 fore get wisdom : 
 
 Yea, with all thou hast gotten get 
 understanding. 
 
 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee : 
 She shall bring thee to honour, when 
 
 thou dost embrace her. 
 
 9 She shall give to thine head a chaplet 
 
 of grace : 
 
 A crown of 8 beauty shall she deliver to 
 thee. 
 
 10 Hear, 0 my son, and receive my say- 
 ings; 
 
 And the years of thy life shall be many. 
 Ill have taught thee in the way of 
 wisdom ; 
 
 I have led thee in paths of uprightness. 
 
 12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not 
 
 be straitened; 
 
 And if thou r unnest, thou shalt not 
 stumble. 
 
 13 Take fast hold of instruction ; let her 
 
 not go : 
 
 Keep her; for she is thy life. 
 
 14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, 
 And walk not in the way of evil men. 
 
 15 Avoid it, pass not by it ; 
 
 Turn from it, and pass on. 
 
 16 For they sleep not, except they have 
 
 done mischief ; 
 
 And their sleep is taken away, unless 
 they cause some to fall. 
 
 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, 
 And drink the wine of violence. 
 
 18 But the path of the righteous is as 
 
 9 the shining light, 
 
 That shineth more and more unto the 
 perfect day. 
 
 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness : 
 They know not at what they stumble. 
 
 20 My son, attend to my words ; 
 
 Incline thine ear unto my sayings. 
 
 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes ; 
 Keep them in the midst of thine heart. 
 
 22 For they are life unto those that find 
 
 them, 
 
 And health to all their flesh. 
 
 23 Keep thy heart 10 with all diligence; 
 For out of it are the issues of life. 
 
 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, 
 And perverse lips put far from thee. 
 
 25 Let thine eyes look right on, 
 
 And let thine eyelids look straight 
 before thee. 
 
 26 11 Make level the path of thy feet, 
 
 And let all thy ways be 12 established. 
 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the 
 left: 
 
 Remove thy foot from evil. 
 
 5 My son, attend unto my wisdom ; 
 Incline thine ear to my understanding : 
 
 2 That thou mayest preserve discretion, 
 And that thy lips may keep knowledge. 
 
 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop 
 
 honey, 
 
 And her mouth is smoother than oil : 
 
 4 But her latter end is bitter as worm- 
 
 wood, 
 
 Sharp as a two-edged sword. 
 
 5 Pier feet go down to death ; 
 
 Her steps take hold on 13 Sheol ; 
 
 6 14 So that she findeth not the level path 
 of life : 
 
 Her ways are unstable and 15 she know- 
 eth it not. 
 
 7 Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto 
 
 me, 
 
 And depart not from the words of my 
 mouth. 
 
 8 Remove thy way far from her, 
 
 And come not nigh the door of her 
 house : 
 
 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto 
 
 others, 
 
 And thy years unto the cruel . 
 
 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy 
 
 16 strength ; 
 
 And thy labours he in the house of an

 11 And thou 17 mourn at thy latter end, 
 When thy flesh and thy body are con-

 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, 
 And my heart despised reproof ;

 THE PPvOYERBS. 
 
 In the midst of the congregation and 
 assembly. 
 
 15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, 
 And running waters out of thine own 
 well. 
 
 16 1 Should thy springs be dispersed 
 abroad, 
 
 And rivers of water in the streets ? 
 
 17 Let them be for thyself alone, 
 
 And not for strangers with thee. 
 
 18 Let thy fountain be blessed ; 
 
 And rejoice in the wife of thy youth. 
 
 19 As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, 
 Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times ; 
 And 2 be thou ravished always with her 
 
 love. 
 
 20 For why shouldest thou, my son, 2 be 
 
 ravished with a strange woman, 
 
 And embrace the bosom of a stranger? 
 
 21 For the ways of man are before the 
 
 eyes of the Lord, 
 
 And he 3 maketh level all his paths. 
 
 22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked, 
 And he shall be holden with the cords 
 
 of his sin. 
 
 23 He shall die for lack of instruction ; 
 And in the greatness of his folly he 
 
 shall go astray. 
 
 (3 My son, if thou art become surety for 
 thy neighbour, 
 
 If thou hast stricken 4 thy hands for a 
 stranger, 
 
 2 Thou art snared with the words of thy 
 
 mouth, 
 
 Thou art taken with the words of thy 
 mouth. 
 
 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thy- 
 
 self, 
 
 Seeing thou art come into the hand of 
 thy neighbour ; 
 
 Go, 5 humble thyself, and importune 
 thy neighbour. 
 
 4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, 
 
 Nor slumber to thine eyelids. 
 
 5 Deliver thyself as a 6 roe from the hand 
 
 of the hunter. 
 
 And as a bird from the hand of the 
 fowler. 
 
 6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard ; 
 
 Consider her ways, and be wise; 
 
 7 Which having no 7 chief, 
 
 Overseer, or ruler, 
 
 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, 
 And gathereth her food in the harvest. 
 
 9 How long wilt thou 8 sleep, O slug- 
 
 gard? 
 
 When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep ? 
 
 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, 
 
 A little folding of the hands to 8 sleep : 
 
 11 So shall thy poverty come as a 9 robber, 
 And thy want as 10 an armed man. 
 
 12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity ; 
 He walketh with a froward mouth ; 
 
 13 He winketh with his eyes, he 11 speak - 
 
 eth with his feet, 
 
 He 12 maketh signs with his fingers; 
 
 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he de- I 
 
 viseth evil continually ; 
 
 He 13 soweth discord. 
 
 15 Therefore shall his calamity come 
 
 suddenly ; 
 
 On a sudden shall he be broken, and 
 that without remedy. 
 
 16 There be six things which the Lord 
 
 hateth ; 
 
 Yea, seven which are an abomination 
 14 unto him: 
 
 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, 
 
 And hands that shed innocent blood ; 
 
 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imagin- 
 
 ations, 
 
 Feet that be swift in running to mis- 
 chief ; 
 
 19 A false witness that 15 uttereth lies, 
 And he that 13 soweth discord among 
 
 brethren. 
 
 20 My son, keep the commandment of 
 
 thy father, 
 
 And forsake not the 16 law of thy 
 mother : 
 
 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, 
 Tie them about thy neck. 
 
 22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee ; 
 When thou 17 sleepest, it shall watch 
 
 over thee ; 
 
 And when thou awakest, it shall talk 
 with thee. 
 
 23 For 18 the commandment is a lamp; 
 and 19 the law is light; 
 
 And reproofs of instruction are the 
 way of life : 
 
 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, 
 From the flattery of the stranger’s 
 
 tongue. 
 
 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine 
 
 heart ; 
 
 Neither let her take thee with her eye- 
 lids. 
 
 26 For on account of a whorish woman a 
 
 man is brought to a piece of bread: 
 And 20 the adulteress hunteth for the 
 precious life. 
 
 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, 
 
 And his clothes not be burned ? 
 
 28 Or can one walk upon hot coals, 
 
 And his feet not be scorched ? 
 
 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s 
 
 wife; 
 
 Whosoever toucheth her shall not be 
 21 unpunished. 
 
 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal 
 To satisfy his soul when he is hungry : 
 
 31 But if he be found, he shall restore 
 
 sevenfold ;

 7 My son, keep my words, 
 
 And lay up my commandments with

 2 Keep my commandments and live ; 
 
 And my x law as the apple of thine eye. 
 
 3 Bind them upon thy fingers ; 
 
 Write them upon the table of thine

 And call understanding thy 2 kins-

 5 That they may keep thee from the 
 
 strange woman, 
 
 From the stranger which 8 flattereth 
 with her words. 
 
 6 For at the window of my house 
 
 I looked forth through my lattice ; 
 
 7 And I beheld among the simple ones, 
 
 I discerned among the youths, 
 
 A young man void of understanding, 
 
 8 Passing through the street near her 
 
 corner, 
 
 And he went the way to her house ; 
 
 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the 
 
 day, 
 
 In tlie 4 blackness of night and the 
 darkness. 
 
 10 And, behold, there met him a woman 
 With the attire of an harlot, and 5 wily 
 
 of heart. 
 
 11 She is 6 clamorous and wilful; 
 
 Her feet abide not in her house : 
 
 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the 
 
 broad places, 
 
 And lieth in wait at every corner. 
 
 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, 
 
 7 And with an impudent face she said 
 unto him : 
 
 14 Sacrifices of peace offerings 8 are with 
 
 me; 
 
 This day have I paid my vows. 
 
 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, 
 Diligently to seek thy face, and I have 
 
 found thee. 
 
 16 1 have spread my couch with 9 carpets 
 of tapestry, 
 
 With striped cloths of the yarn of 
 Egypt. 
 
 171 have 10 perfumed my bed 
 
 With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 
 
 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until 
 
 the morning ; 
 
 Let us solace ourselves with loves. 
 
 19 For the goodman is not at home, 
 
 He is gone a long journey: 
 
 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him ; 
 He will come home at the full moon. 
 
 21 With her much fair speech she causeth 
 
 him to yield, 
 
 With the flattering of her lips she 
 forcetli him away. 
 
 22 He goetli after her 11 straightway. 
 
 As an ox goetli to the slaughter, 
 
 Or as 12 fetters to the correction of the 
 fool; 
 
 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver ; 
 As a bird hasteth to the snare, 
 
 And knowetli not that it is for his life. 
 
 24 Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto 
 
 me, 
 
 And attend to the words of my mouth. 
 
 25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, 
 Go not astray in her paths. 
 
 26 For she hath cast down many wounded : 
 Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. 
 
 27 Her house is the way to 13 Sheol, 
 
 Going down to the chambers of death. 
 
 8 Doth not wisdom cry, 
 
 And understanding put forth her voice ? 
 
 2 In the top of high places by the way, 
 Where the paths meet, she standetli ; 
 
 3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the 
 
 city, 
 
 At the coming in at the doors, she 
 crieth aloud : 
 
 4 Unto you, 0 men, I call; 
 
 And my voice is to the sons of men. 
 
 5 0 ye simple, understand 14 subtilty ; 
 And, ye fools, be ye of an under- 
 standing heart. 
 
 6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things ; 
 And the opening of my lips shall be 
 
 right things. 
 
 7 For my mouth shall utter truth ; 
 
 And wickedness is an abomination to 
 
 my lips. 
 
 8 All the words of my mouth 15 are in 
 
 righteousness ; 
 
 There is nothing crooked or perverse 
 in them. 
 
 9 They are all plain to him that under- 
 
 standeth, 
 
 And right to them that find know- 
 ledge. 
 
 10 Beceive my instruction, and not silver ; 
 And knowledge rather than choice 
 
 gold. 
 
 11 For wisdom is better than 16 rubies; 
 And all the things that may be desired 
 
 are not to be compared unto her. 
 121 wisdom have made 14 subtilty my 
 dwelling, 
 
 And find out 17 knowledge and dis- 
 cretion. 
 
 13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil : 
 Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, 
 And the fro ward mouth, do I hate. 
 
 14 Counsel is mine, and 18 sound know-

 I am understanding ; I have might.

 THE PROVERBS. 
 
 19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than 
 fine gold ; 
 
 And my 1 revenue than choice silver. 
 20 1 walk in the way of righteousness, 
 
 In the midst of the paths of judgement : 
 
 21 That I may cause those that love me 
 
 to inherit substance, 
 
 And that I may fill their treasuries. 
 
 22 The Lord 2 possessed me 3 in the 
 
 beginning of his way, 
 
 4 Before his works of old. 
 
 231 was set up from everlasting, from 
 the beginning, 
 
 Or ever the earth was. 
 
 24 When there were no depths, I was 
 
 brought forth; 
 
 When there were no fountains a- 
 bounding with water. 
 
 25 Before the mountains were settled, 
 Before the hills was I brought forth : 
 
 26 While as yet he had not made the 
 
 earth, nor the fields, 
 
 Nor the 5 beginning of the dust of the 
 world. 
 
 27 When he 6 established the heavens, I 
 
 was there : 
 
 When he set a circle upon the face of 
 the deep : 
 
 28 When he made firm the skies above : 
 When the fountains of the deep be- 
 came strong: 
 
 29 When he gave to the sea 7 its bound, 
 That the waters should not transgress 
 
 his commandment : 
 
 When he 8 marked out the foundations 
 of the earth: 
 
 30 Then I was by him, as a master work- 
 
 man: 
 
 And I 9 was daily his delight, 
 
 * 10 Eejoicing always before him; 
 
 31 10 Rejoicing in his habitable earth; 
 
 And my delight was with the sons of 
 men. 
 
 32 Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto 
 
 me: 
 
 For blessed are they that keep my ways. 
 
 33 Hear instruction, and be wise, 
 
 And refuse it not. 
 
 34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, 
 Watching daily at my gates, 
 
 Waiting at the posts of my doors. 
 
 35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, 
 
 And shall 11 obtain favour of the Lord. 
 
 36 But he that 12 sinneth against me 
 
 wrongeth his own soul : 
 
 All they that hate me love death. 
 
 9 Wisdom hath builded her house, 
 
 She hath hewn out her seven pillars : 
 
 2 She hath killed her beasts ; she hath 
 
 mingled her wine ; 
 
 She hath also furnished her table. 
 
 3 She hath sent forth her maidens, she 
 
 crieth 
 
 Upon the highest places of the city, 
 
 4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither : 
 
 As for him that is void of understand- 
 ing, she saith to him, 
 
 5 Come, eat ye of my bread, 
 
 And drink of the wine which I have 
 mingled. 
 
 6 13 Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; 
 And walk in the way of understanding. 
 
 7 He that correcteth a scorner gettetli to 
 
 himself shame: 
 
 And he that reproveth a wicked man 
 getteth himself a blot. 
 
 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: 
 Reprove a wise man, and he will love 
 
 thee. 
 
 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he 
 
 will be yet wiser : 
 
 Teach a righteous man, and he will 
 increase in learning. 
 
 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning 
 
 of wisdom : 
 
 And the knowledge of the Holy One is 
 understanding. 
 
 11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, 
 And the years of thy life shall be 
 
 increased. 
 
 12 If thou art wise, thou art wise for thy- 
 
 self : 
 
 And if thou scornest, thou alone shalt 
 bear it. 
 
 13 14 * The foolish woman is clamorous; 
 She is 15 simple, and knoweth nothing. 
 
 14 And she sitteth at the door of her 
 
 house, 
 
 On a seat in the high places of the city, 
 
 15 To call to them that pass by, 
 
 Who go right on their ways, 
 
 16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither : 
 And as for him that is void of under- 
 standing, she saith to him, 
 
 17 Stolen waters are sweet, 
 
 And bread eaten in secret is pleasant. 
 
 18 But he knoweth not that 16 the dead 
 
 are there ; 
 
 That her guests are in the depths of 
 Sheol. 
 
 10 The proverbs of Solomon. 
 
 A wise son maketh a glad father : 
 
 But a foolish son is the heaviness of 
 his mother. 
 
 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: 
 But righteousness delivereth from 
 
 death. 
 
 3 The Lord will not suffer the soul of 
 
 the righteous to famish : 
 
 But he thrusteth away the desire of 
 the wicked. 
 
 4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a 
 
 slack hand : 
 
 But the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 
 
 5 He that gathereth in summer is 17 a 
 
 wise son : 
 
 But he that sleepeth in harvest is a 
 son 18 that causeth shame.

 righteous :

 27 1 The slothful man 3 roastetli not that 
 which he took in hunting : 
 
 But the precious substance of men 4 is 
 to the diligent. 
 
 28 In the way of righteousness is life ; 
 And in the pathway thereof there is 
 no death. 
 
 13 A wise son heareth his father’s 5 in-

 But a scorner heareth not rebuke.

 But 7 the soul of the treacherous shall

 But he that openeth wide his lips shall 
 have destruction. 
 
 4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and 
 
 hath nothing : 
 
 But the soul of the diligent shall be 
 made fat. 
 
 5 A righteous man hateth lying : 
 
 But a wicked man 8 is loathsome, and 
 cometh to shame. 
 
 6 Righteousness guardeth 9 him that is 
 
 upright in the way : 
 
 But wickedness overthroweth 10 the 
 sinner. 
 
 7 There is that 11 maketh himself rich, 
 
 yet hath nothing : 
 
 There is that 11 maketh himself poor, 
 yet hath great wealth. 
 
 8 Theransom of a man’s life is his riches : 
 But the poor heareth no 12 threatening. 
 
 9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: 
 But the lamp of the wicked shall be 
 
 put out. 
 
 10 By pride cometh only contention : 
 
 But with the well advised is wisdom. 
 
 11 Wealth gotten 13 by vanity shall be 
 
 diminished : 
 
 But he that gathereth 14 by labour 
 shall have increase. 
 
 12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick : 
 But when the desire cometh, it is a 
 
 tree of life. 
 
 13 Whoso despiseth 15 the word 16 bringeth 
 
 destruction on himself : 
 
 But he that feareth the commandment 
 shall be rewarded. 
 
 14 The 17 law of the wise is a fountain of 
 
 life, 
 
 To depart from the snares of death. 
 
 15 Good understanding 18 givetli favour: 
 
 But the way of the treacherous is 
 rugged. 
 
 16 Every prudent man worketh with 
 
 knowledge : 
 
 But a fool spreadeth out folly. 
 
 17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil: 
 But a faithful ambassador is health. 
 
 18 Poverty and shame shall he to him 
 
 that refuseth 19 correction : 
 
 But he that regardeth reproof shall be 
 honoured. 
 
 19 The desire accomplished is sweet to 
 
 the soul : 
 
 But it is an abomination to fools to 
 depart from evil. 
 
 20 20 Walk with wise men, and thou shalt 
 
 be wise : 
 
 But the companion of fools shall 
 21 smart for it. 
 
 21 Evil pursueth sinners : 
 
 But the righteous shall be recompensed 
 with good. 
 
 22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to 
 
 his children’s children; 
 
 And the wealth of the sinner is laid up 
 for the righteous. 
 
 23 Much food is in the 22 tillage of the 
 
 poor: 
 
 But there is that is destroyed by reason 
 of injustice. 
 
 24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son : 
 But he that loveth him chasteneth him 
 
 23 betimes. 
 
 25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying 
 
 of his soul : 
 
 But the belly of the wicked shall want. 
 14 Every wise woman buildeth her house : 
 But 24 the foolish plucketh it down with 
 her own hands. 
 
 2 He that walketh in his uprightness 
 
 feareth the Lord : 
 
 But he that is perverse in his ways 
 despiseth him. 
 
 3 In the mouth of the foolish is a 25 rod 
 
 26 of pride : 
 
 But the lips of the wise shall preserve 
 them. 
 
 4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean : 
 But much increase is by the strength

 5 A faithful witness will not lie :

 7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, 
 
 And his lips are the snare of his soul. 
 
 8 The words of a whisperer are as 
 
 dainty morsels, 
 
 And they go down into the 2 innermost 
 parts of the belly. 
 
 9 He also that is slack in his work 
 
 Is brother to him that is a destroyer. 
 
 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: 
 The righteous runneth into it, and 3 is 
 
 safe. 
 
 11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, 
 And as an high wall in his own imagin- 
 ation. 
 
 12 Before destruction the heart of man is 
 
 haughty, 
 
 And before honour goeth humility. 
 
 13 He that giveth answer before he liear-

 It is folly and shame unto him. 
 
 14 The spirit of a man will sustain his 
 
 infirmity ; 
 
 But a broken spirit who can 4 hear? 
 
 15 The heart of the prudent gettetli know-

 18 The lot causetli contentions to cease,

 And such contentions are like the bars 
 of a castle.

 With the increase of his lips shall he 
 he satisfied.

 And they that love it shall eat the fruit 
 thereof.

 23 The poor useth intreaties : 
 
 But the rich answeretli roughly. 
 
 24 6 He that maketh many friends doeth it 
 
 to his own destruction : 
 
 But there is a 7 friend that sticketli 
 closer than a brother. 
 
 19 Better is the poor that walketh in his 
 integrity 
 
 Than he that is perverse in his lips 
 and is a fool. 
 
 2 Also, 8 that the soul be without know- 
 
 ledge is not good ; 
 
 And he that liasteth with his feet 
 9 sinnetli. 
 
 3 The foolishness of man subvertetli his 
 
 way; 
 
 And his heart fretteth against the Lord. 
 
 4 Wealth addetli many friends: 
 
 But 10 the poor is separated from his 
 friend. 
 
 5 A false witness shall not be unpunished ; 
 And he that n uttereth lies shall not 
 
 escape. 
 
 6 Many will intreat the favour of 12 the 
 
 liberal man : 
 
 And every man is a friend to him that 
 giveth gifts. 
 
 7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: 
 How much more do his friends go far 
 
 from him ! 
 
 13 He pursueth them with words, hut 
 they are gone. 
 
 8 He that gettetli 14 wisdom loveth his 
 
 own soul : 
 
 He that keepeth understanding shall 
 find good. 
 
 9 A false witness shall not be unpun- 
 
 ished ; 
 
 And he that n utteretli lies shall perish. 
 
 10 Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; 
 Much less for a servant to have rule 
 
 over princes. 
 
 11 The discretion of a man maketh him 
 
 slow to anger ; 
 
 And it is his glory to pass over a 
 transgression. 
 
 12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of 
 
 a lion ; 
 
 But his favour is as dew upon the grass. 
 
 13 A foolish son is the calamity of his 
 
 father : 
 
 And the contentions of a wife are a 
 continual dropping. 
 
 14 House and riches are an inheritance

 But a prudent wife is from the Lord. 
 
 15 Slothfulness castetli into a deep sleep ; 
 And the idle soul shall suffer hunger. 
 
 16 He that keepeth the commandment 
 
 keepeth his soul : 
 
 But he that 15 is careless of his ways 
 shall die. 
 
 17 He that hath pity upon the poor

 18 Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope ; 
 And set not thy heart on 16 his de-

 And apply thine heart unto my know-

 18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep 
 
 them within thee, 
 
 If they be established together upon 
 thy lips. 
 
 19 That thy trust may be in the Lord, 
 
 1 have made them known to thee this 
 daj 7 , even to thee. 
 
 20 Have not I written unto thee 1 ex- 
 
 cellent things 
 
 2 Of counsels and knowledge ; 
 
 21 To make thee know 3 the certainty of 
 
 the words of truth, 
 
 That thou mayest carry hack words of 
 truth to them that send thee ? 
 
 22 Rob not the poor, 4 because he is poor, 
 Neither 5 oppress the afflicted in the 
 
 gate: 
 
 23 For the Lord will plead their cause, 
 And despoil of life those that despoil 
 
 them. 
 
 24 Make no friendship with a man that is 
 
 given to anger ; 
 
 And with a wrathful man thou slialt 
 not go : 
 
 25 Lest thou learn his ways, 
 
 And get a snare to thy soul. 
 
 26 Be thou not one of them that strike 
 
 hands, 
 
 Or of them that are sureties for debts : 
 
 27 If thou hast not wherewith to pay, 
 Why should he take away thy bed from 
 
 under thee ? 
 
 28 Remove not the ancient landmark, 
 Which thy fathers have set. 
 
 29 Seest thou a man 6 diligent in his busi- 
 
 ness ? he shall stand before kings ; 
 He shall not stand before 7 mean 
 men. 
 
 23When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, 
 Consider diligently 8 him that is before 
 thee ; 
 
 2 9 And put a knife to thy throat, 
 
 If thou be a man given to appetite. 
 
 3 Be not desirous of his dainties ; 
 
 Seeing they are deceitful meat. 
 
 4 Weary not thyself to be rich ; 
 
 Cease 10 from thine own wisdom. 
 
 5 11 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that 
 which is not ? 
 
 For riches certainly make themselves 
 wings, 
 
 Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. 
 
 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that 
 
 hath an evil eye, 
 
 Neither desire thou his dainties: 
 
 7 For 12 as he reckoneth within himself, 
 
 so is he : 
 
 Eat and drink, saitli he to thee; 
 
 But his heart is not with thee. 
 
 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten 
 
 shalt thou vomit up, 
 
 And lose thy sweet words. 
 
 9 Speak not in the hearing of a fool ; 
 
 487 
 
 For he will despise the wisdom of thy 
 words. 
 
 10 13 Remove not the ancient landmark; 
 And enter not into the fields of the 
 fatherless : 
 
 11 For their redeemer is strong; 
 
 He shall plead their cause against thee. 
 
 12 Apply thine heart unto 14 instruction, 
 And thine ears to the words of know- 
 ledge. 
 
 13 Withhold not correction from the child : 
 For 15 if thou beat him with the rod, he 
 
 shall not die. 
 
 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, 
 
 And shalt deliver his soul from 16 Sheol. 
 
 15 My son, if thine heart be wise, 
 
 My heart shall be glad, even mine : 
 
 16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, 
 
 When thy lips speak right things. 
 
 17 Let not thine heart envy sinners : 
 
 But he thou in the fear of the Lord all 
 
 the day long: 
 
 18 For surely there is a 17 reward ; 
 
 And thy hope shall not be cut off. 
 
 19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, 
 
 And guide thine heart in the way. 
 
 20 Be not among winebibbers ; 
 
 Among gluttonous eaters of flesh : 
 
 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall 
 
 come to poverty : 
 
 And drowsiness shall clothe a man 
 with rags. 
 
 22 Hearken unto thy father that begat 
 
 thee, 
 
 And despise not thy mother when she 
 is old. 
 
 23 Buy the truth, and sell it not ; 
 
 Yea, wisdom, and instruction, and un- 
 derstanding. 
 
 24 The father of the righteous shall great- 
 
 ly rejoice: 
 
 And he that begetteth a wise child 
 shall have joy of him. 
 
 25 Let thy father and thy mother be glad, 
 And let her that bare thee rejoice. 
 
 26 My son, give me thine heart, 
 
 And let thine eyes 18 delight in my 
 ways. 
 
 27 For a whore is a deep ditch ; 
 
 And a strange woman is a narrow pit. 
 
 28 Yea, she lietli in wait 19 as a robber,

 Or as he that lieth upon the top of a

 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, 
 
 and I was not hurt ; 
 
 They have beaten me, and I felt it not : 
 When shall I awake ? I will seek it yet 
 again. 
 
 24Be not thou envious against evil men, 
 Neither desire to he with them: 
 
 2 For their heart studieth oppression, 
 And their lips talk of mischief. 
 
 3 Through wisdom is an house builded ; 
 And by understanding it is established : 
 
 4 And by knowledge are the chambers 
 
 filled 
 
 With all precious and pleasant riches. 
 
 5 A wise man 1 is strong; 
 
 Yea, a man of knowledge 2 increaseth 
 might. 
 
 6 For by wise guidance thou shalt make 
 
 thy war : 
 
 And in the multitude of counsellors 
 there is 8 safety. 
 
 7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: 
 
 He openeth not his mouth in the gate. 
 
 8 He that deviseth to do evil, 
 
 Men shall call him a mischievous 
 person. 
 
 9 The thought of 4 the foolish is sin : 
 
 And the scorner is an abomination to 
 
 men. 
 
 10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, 
 Thy strength is small. 
 
 11 Deliver them that are carried away 
 
 unto death, 
 
 And those that are 5 ready to be slain 
 
 6 see that thou hold back. 
 
 12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not 
 
 7 this : 
 
 Doth not he that weiglieth the hearts 
 consider it ? 
 
 And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not 
 he know it ? 
 
 And shall not he render to every man 
 according to his work ? 
 
 13 My son, eat thou honey, for it is good ; 
 And the honeycomb, which is sweet to 
 
 thy taste : 
 
 14 So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto 
 
 thy soul : 
 
 If thou hast found it, then shall there 
 he a 8 reward, 
 
 And thy hope shall not he cut off. 
 
 15 Lay not wait, 9 0 wicked man, against 
 
 the 10 habitation of the righteous; 
 Spoil not his n resting place: 
 
 16 For a righteous man falleth seven 
 
 times, and riseth up again : 
 
 But . the wicked are overthrown by 
 calamity. 
 
 17Bejoice not when thine enemy falleth, 
 And let not thine heart be glad when 
 he is overthrown : 
 
 18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease 
 him, 
 
 And he turn away his wrath from him. 
 
 19 Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; 
 Neither be thou envious at the wicked : 
 
 20 For there will be no 8 reward to the 
 
 evil man ; 
 
 The lamp of the wicked shall be put 
 out. 
 
 21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the 
 
 king: 
 
 And meddle not with them that are 
 given to change: 
 
 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly ; 
 And who knoweth the destruction 12 of 
 
 them both? 
 
 23 These also are sayings of the wise. 
 
 To have respect of persons in judge- 
 ment is not good. 
 
 24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou 
 
 art righteous ; 
 
 Peoples shall curse him, nations shall 
 abhor him : 
 
 25 But to them that rebuke him shall he 
 
 delight, 
 
 And a good blessing shall come upon 
 them. 
 
 26 He 13 kisseth the lips 
 That giveth a right answer. 
 
 27 Prepare thy work without, 
 
 And make it ready for thee in the 
 field ; 
 
 And afterwards build thine house. 
 
 28 Be not a witness against thy neigh- 
 
 bour without cause ; 
 
 14 And deceive not with thy lips. 
 
 29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath 
 
 done to me ; 
 
 I will render to the man according to 
 his work. 
 
 30 1 went by the field of the slothful, 
 
 And by the vineyard of the man void 
 of understanding ; 
 
 31 And, lo, it was all grown over with 
 
 thorns, 
 
 The face thereof was covered with 
 15 nettles, 
 
 And the stone wall thereof was broken 
 down. 
 
 32 Then I beheld, and considered well : 
 
 I saw, and received instruction. 
 
 33 16 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, 
 
 A little folding of the hands to sleep : 
 34 So shall thy poverty come as a robber ; 
 And thy want as an armed man. 
 
 25 These also are proverbs of Solomon, 
 which the men of Hezekiah king of

 himself , 
 
 3 And disclose not the secret of an- 
 other : 
 
 10 Lest he that liearetli it revile thee, 
 And thine infamy turn not away. 
 
 11 A word 4 fitly spoken 
 
 Is lilce apples of gold in 5 baskets of 
 silver. 
 
 12 As 6 an earring of gold, and an orna- 
 
 ment of fine gold, 
 
 So is a wise reprover upon an obedient 
 ear. 
 
 13 As the cold of snow in the time of 
 
 harvest, 
 
 So is a faithful messenger to them 
 that send him ; 
 
 For he ref resheth the soul of his masters. 
 
 14 As clouds and wind without rain, 
 
 So is he that boasteth himself 7 of his 
 gifts falsely. 
 
 15 By long forbearing is a 8 ruler per- 
 
 suaded, 
 
 And a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 
 
 16 Hast thou found honey ? eat so much 
 
 as is sufficient for thee ; 
 
 Lest thou be filled therewith, and 
 vomit it. 
 
 17 Let thy foot be seldom in thy neigh- 
 
 bour’s house; 
 
 Lest he be 9 weary of thee, and hate 
 thee. 
 
 18 A man that beareth false witness a- 
 
 gainst his neighbour 
 Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp 
 arrow. 
 
 19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in 
 
 time of trouble 
 
 Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out 
 of joint. 
 
 20 As one that taketh off a garment in 
 
 cold weather, and as vinegar upon 
 10 nitre, 
 
 So is he that singeth songs to an 
 heavy heart. 
 
 21 If 11 thine enemy be hungry, give him 
 
 bread to eat; 
 
 And if he be thirsty, give him water to 
 drink : 
 
 22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon 
 
 his head, 
 
 And the Lord shall reward thee. 
 
 23 The north wind bringeth forth rain : 
 So doth a backbiting tongue an angry 
 countenance. 
 
 24 12 It is better to dwell in the corner 
 of the housetop, 
 
 Than with a contentious woman in a 
 wide house. 
 
 25 As cold waters to a 13 thirsty soul, 
 
 So is good news from a far country. 
 
 26 As a 14 troubled fountain, and a cor- 
 
 rupted spring, 
 
 So is a righteous man that 15 giveth 
 way before the wicked. 
 
 27 It is not good to eat much honey : 
 
 16 So for men to search out their own 
 glory is not glory. 
 
 28 17 He whose spirit is without restraint 
 Is like a city that is broken down and 
 hath no wall. 
 
 26 As snow in summer, and as rain in 
 harvest, 
 
 So honour is not seemly for a fool. 
 
 2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as 
 
 the swallow in her flying, 
 
 So the curse that is causeless 18 liglit- 
 eth not. 
 
 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, 
 And a rod for the back of fools. 
 
 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, 
 Lest thou also be like unto him. 
 
 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, 
 Lest he be wise in 19 his own conceit. 
 
 6 He that sendeth a message by the 
 
 hand of a fool 
 
 Cutteth off his own feet, and drinketli 
 in damage. 
 
 7 The legs of the lame hang loose : 
 
 So is a parable in the mouth of fools. 
 
 8 20 As a bag of gems in a heap of stones, 
 So is he that giveth honour to a fool. 
 
 9 As a thorn that goeth up into the 
 
 hand of a drunkard, 
 
 So is a parable in the mouth of fools. 
 
 10 21 As an archer that woundeth all, 
 
 So is he that hireth the fool and he 
 that hireth them that pass by. 
 
 11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, 
 So is a fool that repeateth his folly. 
 
 12Seest thou a man wise in 19 his own 
 conceit ? 
 
 There is more hope of a fool than of 
 him. 
 
 13 22 The sluggard saith, There is a lion

 21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood 
 
 to fire ; 
 
 So is a contentious man to inflame 
 strife. 
 
 22 1 The words of a whisperer are as 
 dainty morsels, 
 
 And they go down into the innermost 
 parts of the belly. 
 
 23 Fervent lips and a wicked heart 
 
 Are like an earthen vessel overlaid 
 with silver dross. 
 
 24 He that hateth dissembleth with his 
 
 lips, 
 
 But he layeth up deceit within him: 
 
 25 When he speaketli fair, believe him not ; 
 For there are seven abominations in 
 
 his heart : 
 
 26 Though Ms hatred cover itself with 
 
 guile, 
 
 His wickedness shall be openly shewed 
 before the congregation. 
 
 27 Whoso diggetli a pit shall fall therein: 
 And he that rolletli a stone, it shall 
 
 return upon him. 
 
 28 A lying tongue hateth those whom 
 
 it hath 2 wounded; 
 
 And a flattering mouth worketh ruin. 
 27 Boast not thyself of to-morrow ; 
 
 For thou knowest not what a day may 
 bring forth. 
 
 2 Let another man praise thee, and not 
 
 thine own mouth ; 
 
 A stranger, and not thine own lips. 
 
 3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; 
 But a fool’s vexation is heavier than 
 
 them both. 
 
 4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is 3 out- 
 
 rageous ; 
 
 But who is able to stand before jeal- 
 ousy? 
 
 5 Better is open rebuke 
 Than love that is hidden. 
 
 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend : 
 But the kisses of an enemy are pro- 
 fuse. 
 
 7 The full soul 4 loatheth an honeycomb : 
 But to the hungry soul every bitter 
 
 thing is sweet. 
 
 8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, 
 So is a man that wandereth from his 
 
 place. 
 
 9 Ointment and perfume rej oice the heart: 
 So doth the sweetness of a man’s 
 
 friend that cometh of hearty counsel. 
 
 10 Thine own friend, and thy father’s 
 
 friend, forsake not ; 
 
 And go not to thy brother’s house in 
 the day of thy calamity : 
 
 Better is a neighbour that is near than 
 a brother far off. 
 
 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart 
 
 glad, 
 
 That I may answer him that reproacli- 
 etli me. 
 
 12 5 A prudent man seeth the evil, and 
 hideth himself : 
 
 But the simple pass on, and suffer 
 for it. 
 
 13 6 Take his garment that is surety for a 
 
 stranger ; 
 
 And hold him in pledge that is surety 
 for a strange woman. 
 
 14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud 
 
 voice, rising early in the morning, 
 
 It shall be counted a curse to him. 
 
 15 A continual dropping in a very rainy 
 
 day 
 
 And a contentious woman are alike : 
 
 16 He that would 7 restrain her 8 restrain - 
 
 eth the wind, 
 
 And 9 his right hand encountereth oil. 
 17 Iron sharpeneth iron; 
 
 So a man sharpeneth the countenance 
 of his friend. 
 
 18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat 
 the fruit thereof ; 
 
 And he that waiteth on his master 
 shall be honoured. 
 
 19 10 As in water face answer eth to face, 
 So the heart of man to man. 
 
 20 11 Slieol and Abaddon are never satis- 
 fied; 
 
 And the eyes of man are never satisfied. 
 
 21 The fining pot is for silver, and the fur- 
 
 nace for gold, 
 
 And a man is tried by 12 his praise. 
 
 22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a 
 
 mortar with a pestle among bruised 
 corn, 
 
 Yet will not his foolishness depart 
 from him. 
 
 23 Be thou diligent to know the state 
 
 of thy flocks, 
 
 And look well to thy herds : 
 
 24 For riches are not for ever; 
 
 And doth the crown endure unto all 
 generations ? 
 
 25 The 13 hay is carried, and the tender 
 
 grass sheweth itself, 
 
 And the herbs of the mountains are 
 gathered in. 
 
 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, 
 
 And the goats are the price of the 
 field: 
 
 27 And there will he goats’ milk enough 
 
 for thy food, for the food of thy 
 household ; 
 
 And maintenance for thy maidens. 
 
 28 The wicked flee when no man pur- 
 sueth : 
 
 But the righteous are bold as a lion. 
 
 2 For the transgression of a land many 
 
 are the princes thereof : 
 
 But by 14 men of understanding and 
 knowledge the state thereof shall be 
 prolonged. 
 
 3 A needy man that oppresseth the poor 
 Is like a sweeping rain 15 which leaveth 
 
 no food.

 18 Where there is no vision, the people

 But he that keepeth the law, happy

 19 A servant will not be corrected by

 2 give heed.

 There is more hope of a fool than of him. 
 
 21 He that delicately bringeth up his

 Shall have him become 4 a son at the

 22 An angry man stirreth up strife, 
 
 And a wrathful man aboundeth in

 23 A man’s pride shall bring him low : 
 But he that is of a lowly spirit shall

 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth

 5 He heareth the adjuration and ut- 
 tereth nothing. 
 
 25 The fear of man bringeth a snare : 
 
 But whoso putteth his trust in the 
 
 Lord 6 shall be safe. 
 
 26 Many seek the ruler’s favour: 
 
 But a man’s judgement cometh from 
 the Lord. 
 
 27 An unjust man is an abomination to 
 the righteous : 
 
 And he that is upright in the way is an 
 abomination to the wicked. 
 
 30 The words of Agur the son of 
 7 Jakeh; the 8 oracle. 
 
 The man saith 9 unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel 
 and Ucal: 
 
 2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, 
 And have not the understanding of a 
 
 man : 
 
 3 And I have not learned wisdom, 
 
 10 Neither have I the knowledge of the 
 Holy One. 
 
 4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, 
 
 and descended ? 
 
 Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? 
 Who hath bound the waters in his 
 garment ? 
 
 Who hath established all the ends of 
 the earth? 
 
 What is his name, and what is his 
 son’s name, if thou knowest? 
 
 5 11 Every word of God is 12 tried : 
 
 He is a shield unto them that trust in I 
 him. 
 
 6 Add thou not unto his words, 
 
 Lest he reprove thee, and thou be 
 found a liar. 
 
 7 Two things have I asked of thee ; 
 
 Deny me them not before I die : 
 
 8 Remove far from me vanity and lies : 
 Give me neither poverty nor riches ; 
 Feed me with 13 the food that is need- 
 ful for me : 
 
 9 Lest I be full, and deny thee , and say, 
 
 Who is the Lord ? 
 
 Or lest I be poor, and steal, 
 
 And 14 use profanely the name of my 
 God. 
 
 10 Slander not a servant unto his master, 
 Lest he curse thee, and thou be held 
 
 guilty. 
 
 11 There is a generation that cursetli 
 
 their father, 
 
 And doth not bless their mother. 
 
 12 There is a generation that are pure in 
 
 their own eyes, 
 
 And yet are not washed from their 
 filthiness. 
 
 13 There is a generation, Oh how lofty 
 
 are their eyes ! 
 
 And their eyelids are lifted up. 
 
 14 There is a generation whose teeth are 
 
 as swords, and their jaw teeth as 
 knives, 
 
 To devour the poor from off the earth, 
 and the needy from among men. 
 
 15 The 15 horseleach hath two daughters, 
 
 16 crying, Give, give. 
 
 There are three things that are never 
 satisfied, 
 
 Yea, four that say not, Enough: 
 
 16 17 The grave ; and the barren womb ; 
 The earth that is not satisfied with 
 water; 
 
 And the fire that saith not, Enough. 
 
 17 The eye that mocketh at his father, 
 
 And despiseth to obey his mother, 
 
 The ravens of 18 the valley shall pick it 
 
 out, 
 
 And the 19 young eagles shall eat it. 
 
 18 There be three things which are too 
 
 wonderful for me, 
 
 Yea, four which I know not : 
 
 19 The way of an eagle in the air; 
 
 The way of a serpent upon a rock ; 
 
 The way of a ship in the midst of the 
 
 sea; 
 
 And the way of a man with a maid. 
 
 20 So is the way of an adulterous woman; 
 She eatetli, and wipeth her mouth, 
 
 And saith, I have done no wickedness. 
 
 21 20 For three things the earth doth 
 tremble, 
 
 And for four, which it cannot bear: 
 
 22 For a servant when he is king; 
 
 And a fool when he is filled with 
 meat;

 23 For an odious woman when she is 
 
 married ; 
 
 And an handmaid that is heir to her 
 mistress. 
 
 24 There be four things which are little 
 
 upon the earth, 
 
 But they are exceeding wise : 
 
 25 The ants are a people not strong, 
 
 Yet they provide their meat in the 
 
 summer ; 
 
 26 The 1 conies are but a feeble folk, 
 
 Yet make they their houses in the 
 
 rocks ; 
 
 27 The locusts have no king, 
 
 Yet go they forth all of them by bands ; 
 
 28 The lizard 2 taketh hold with her hands, 
 Yet is she in kings’ palaces. 
 
 29 There be three things which are stately 
 
 in their march, 
 
 Yea; four which are stately in going : 
 
 30 The lion, which is mightiest among 
 
 beasts, 
 
 And turneth not away for any ; 
 
 31 The 3 greyhound; the he-goat also; 
 And the king, 4 against whom there 
 
 is no rising up. 
 
 32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting 
 
 up thyself, 
 
 Or if thou hast thought evil, 
 
 Lay thine hand upon thy mouth. 
 
 33 For the 5 churning of milk bringetli 
 
 forth butter, 
 
 And the 6 wringing of the nose bring- 
 eth forth blood : 
 
 So the 5 forcing of wrath bringetli 
 forth strife. 
 
 31 6 The words of king Lemuel; the 
 7 oracle which his mother taught him. 
 
 2 What, my son ? and what, 0 son of my 
 
 womb ? 
 
 And what, 0 son of my vows ? 
 
 3 Give not thy strength unto women, 
 Nor thy ways to 8 that which destroyetli 
 
 kings. 
 
 4 It is not for kings, 0 Lemuel, it is not 
 
 for kings to drink wine ; 
 
 Nor for princes 9 to say, Where is 
 strong drink ? 
 
 5 Lest they drink, and forget 10 the law, 
 And pervert the judgement 11 of any 
 
 that is afflicted. 
 
 6 Give strong drink unto him that is 
 
 ready to perish, 
 
 And wine unto the bitter in soul : 
 
 7 Let him drink, and forget his pover- 
 
 ty, 
 
 And remember his misery no more. 
 
 8 Open thy mouth for the dumb, 
 
 In the cause of all such as are 12 left 
 desolate. 
 
 9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, 
 And minister judgement to the poor 
 
 and needy. 
 
 10 A virtuous woman who can find ? 
 
 For her price is far above 13 rubies. 
 
 11 The heart of her husband trusteth in 
 
 her, 
 
 And he shall have no lack of 14 gain. 
 
 12 She doeth him good and not evil 
 All the days of her life. 
 
 13 She seeketli wool and flax, 
 
 And worketh 15 willingly with her 
 hands. 
 
 14 She is like the merchant-ships ; 
 
 She bringeth her food from afar. 
 
 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, 
 And giveth meat to her household, 
 And their 16 task to her maidens. 
 
 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it : 
 With the fruit of her hands she plant- 
 
 eth a vineyard. 
 
 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, 
 And maketh strong her arms. 
 
 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise 
 
 is profitable : 
 
 Her lamp goeth not out by night. 
 
 19 She layeth her hands to the distaff, 
 And her 17 hands hold the spindle. 
 
 20 She spreadeth out her 18 hand to the 
 
 poor ; 
 
 Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to 
 the needy. 
 
 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her 
 
 household ; 
 
 For all her household are clothed with 
 scarlet. 
 
 22 She maketh for herself 19 carpets of 
 
 tapestry; 
 
 Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 
 
 23 Her husband is known in the gates, 
 When he sitteth among the elders of 
 
 the land. 
 
 24 She maketh linen garments and sell- 
 
 eth them ; 
 
 And delivereth girdles unto the 20 mer- 
 chant. 
 
 25 Strength and dignity are her clothing; 
 And she laugheth at the time to come. 
 
 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom ; 
 And the 21 law of kindness is on her 
 
 tongue. 
 
 27 She looketli well to the ways of her 
 
 household, 
 
 And eateth not the bread of idleness. 
 
 28 Her children rise up, and call her 
 
 blessed ; 
 
 Her husband also, and he praiseth her, 
 saying : 
 
 29 Many daughters have done virtu- 
 
 ously, 
 
 But thou excellest them all. 
 
 30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is 
 
 vain : 
 
 But a woman that feareth the Lord, 
 she shall be praised. 
 
 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands ; 
 And let her works praise her in the 
 
 gates.

 ECCLESIASTES; 
 
 OR, THE PREACHER. 
 
 1 The words of Hhe Preacher, the son 
 of David, king in Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Vanity of vanities, saitli the Preach- 
 er; vanity of vanities, all is vanity. 
 
 3 Wliat profit hath man of all his labour 
 wherein he laboureth under the sun? 
 
 4 One generation goeth, and another 
 generation cometh; and the earth a- 
 
 5 bidetli for ever. The sun also ariseth, 
 and the sun goeth down, and liastetli 
 
 6 to his place where he ariseth. The 
 wind goeth toward the south, and turn- 
 eth about unto the north; it turneth 
 about continually in its course, and 
 the wind returneth again to its cir- 
 
 7 cuits. All the 2 rivers run into the 
 sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the 
 place whither the rivers go, thither 
 
 8 they go again. 3 All things are full of 
 weariness; man cannot utter it: the 
 eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor 
 
 9 the ear filled with hearing. That 
 which hath been is that which shall 
 be ; and that which hath been done is 
 that which shall be done: and there 
 
 10 is no new thing under the sun. Is 
 there a thing whereof men say, See, 
 this is new? it hath been already, in 
 
 11 the ages which were before us. There 
 is no remembrance of the former gen- 
 erations', neither shall there be any 
 remembrance of the latter generations 
 that are to come, among those that 
 shall come after. 
 
 12 I 4 the Preacher was king over Israel 
 
 13 in Jerusalem. And I applied my heart 
 to seek and to search out by wisdom 
 concerning all that is done under 
 heaven: it is a sore travail that God 
 hath given to the sons of men to be 
 
 14 exercised therewith. I have seen all 
 the works that are done under the 
 sun; and, behold, all is vanity and 5 a 
 
 15 striving after wind. That which is 
 crooked cannot be made straight : and 
 6 that which is wanting cannot be num- 
 
 lbbered. I communed with mine own 
 heart, saying, Lo, I have gotten me 
 great wisdom 7 above all that were 
 before me 8 in Jerusalem : yea, my 
 heart 9 hath had great experience of 
 
 17 wisdom and knowledge. And I applied 
 my heart to know wisdom, and to know 
 madness and folly: I perceived that 
 this also was a striving after wind. 
 
 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: 
 and he that increaseth knowledge in- 
 creaseth sorrow. 
 
 2 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I 
 will prove thee with mirth; 10 there- 
 fore enjoy 11 pleasure: and, behold, this 
 
 2 also was vanity. I said of laughter, 
 It is mad . and of mirth, "What doeth 
 3 it? I searched in mine heart how to 
 cheer my flesh with wine, mine heart 
 yet 12 guiding me with wisdom, and 
 how to lay hold on folly, till I might 
 see what it was good for the sons of 
 men that they should do under the 
 4 heaven 13 all the days of their life. I 
 made me great works; I builded me 
 5 houses; I planted me vineyards; I 
 made me gardens and parks, and I 
 planted trees in them of all kinds of 
 6 fruit: I made me pools of water, to 
 water therefrom the forest where trees 
 
 7 were reared : I bought menservants 
 and maidens, and had servants born 
 in my house ; also I had great posses- 
 sions of herds and flocks, above all 
 
 8 that were before me in Jerusalem: I 
 gathered me also silver and gold, and 
 the peculiar treasure of kings and of 
 the provinces: I gat me men singers 
 and women singers, and the delights 
 of the sons of men, 14 concubines very 
 
 9 many. So I was great, and increased 
 more than all that were before me in 
 Jerusalem : also my wisdom 15 remained 
 
 10 with me. And whatsoever mine eyes 
 desired I kept not from them : I with- 
 held not my heart from any joy, for 
 my heart rejoiced because of all my 
 labour ; and this was my portion from 
 
 Hall my labour. Then I looked on all 
 the works that my hands had wrought, 
 and on the labour that I had laboured 
 to do : and, behold, all was vanity and 
 a striving after wind, and there was 
 no profit under the sun. 
 
 12 And I turned myself to behold wis- 
 dom, and madness and folly : for what 
 can the man do that cometh 16 after 
 the king? even that which hath been 
 
 13 already done. Then I saw that wis- 
 dom excelleth folly, as far as light 
 
 14excelleth darkness. The wise man’s 
 eyes are in his head, and the fool 
 walketh in darkness: and yet I per- 
 ceived that one event happeneth to 
 
 15 them all. Then said I in my heart, 
 As it happeneth to the fool, so will 
 it happen even to me; and why was 
 I then more wise? Then I said in 
 my heart, that this also was vanity. 
 
 16 For of the wise man, even as of the 
 fool, there is no remembrance for 
 ever ; seeing that in the days to come 
 all will have been already forgotten. 
 And how doth the wise man die even 
 
 17 as the fool! So I hated life; because

 was grievous unto me : for all is vanity 
 and a striving after wind. 
 
 18 And I hated all my labour wherein I 
 laboured under the sun : seeing that I 
 must leave it unto the man that shall 
 
 19 be after me. And who knoweth whether 
 he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet 
 
 should eat and drink, and enjoy good 
 
 14 in all his labour, is the gift of God. I 
 know that, whatsoever God doeth, it 
 shall be for ever : nothing can be put 
 to it, nor any thing taken from it : and 
 God hath done it, that men should fear 
 
 15 before him. 9 That which is hath been

 is now 
 
 
 20 This also is vanity. Therefore I turned 
 
 16 And moreover I saw under the sun, 
 in the place of judgement, that wicked- 
 
 10 Heb. 
 
 
 about to cause my heart to despair con- 
 
 driven 
 
 away. 
 
 1 Or, 
 
 cerning all the labour wherein I had 
 21 laboured under the sun. For there is 
 a man whose labour is with wisdom, 
 and with knowledge, and with 1 skil- 
 
 ness was there; and in the place of 
 righteousness, that wickedness was 
 17 there. I said in mine heart, God shall 
 judge the righteous and the wicked: 
 
 
 fulness; yet to a man that hath not

 laboured therein shall he 2 leave it for

 in mine heart, It is because of the sons

 24 There is nothing better for a man than

 that he should eat and drink, and make

 and the J

 3 To every thing there is a season, and 
 
 4 Then I returned and saw all the 
 
 
 6 Or, 
 
 a time to every 6 purpose under the 
 
 oppressions that are done under the 
 
 
 matter 
 
 2 heaven : a time to be born, and a time 
 
 sun : and behold, the tears of such 
 
 
 
 to die; a time to plant, and a time to 
 
 3 pluck up that which is planted ; a time 
 to kill, and a time to heal ; a time to 
 
 4 break down, and a time to build up ; a 
 time to weep, and a time to laugh ; a 
 time to mourn, and a time to dance ; 
 
 5 a time to cast away stones, and a 
 
 as were oppressed, and they had no 
 comforter; and on the side of their 
 oppressors there was power, but they 
 
 2 had no comforter. Wherefore I praised 
 the dead which are already dead more 
 than the living which are yet alive; 
 
 3 yea, 16 better than them both did I 
 
 1« Or, 
 
 
 time to gather stones together ; a time 
 
 esteem him which hath not yet been, 
 
 better 
 
 than 
 
 
 to embrace, and a time to refrain from 
 
 who hath not seen the evil work that 
 
 they 
 
 
 6 embracing ; a time to seek, and a time 
 
 is done under the sun. 
 
 both/ is

 17 skilful work, that 18 for this a man is 
 
 17 Or,

 8 time to speak; a time to love, and a

 7 Or,

 set 7 the world in their heart, yet so 
 
 and he hath not a second ; yea, he hath 
 neither son nor brother; yet is there 
 
 
 eternity 
 
 that man cannot find out the work 
 
 no end of all his labour, neither are his 
 
 
 8 Or, to 
 get good 
 
 that God hath done from the beginning 
 
 12 even to the end. I know that there 
 is nothing better for them, than to 
 rejoice, and 8 to do good so long as 
 
 13 they live. And also that every man 
 
 eyes satisfied with riches. For whom 
 then, saith he , do I labour, and de- 
 prive my soul of good? This also is 
 9 vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. Two

 10 a good reward for tlieir labour. For if 
 they fall, the one will lift up his fellow : 
 but woe to him that is alone when he 
 falleth, and hath not another to lift him 
 
 11 up. Again, if two lie together, then 
 they have warmth : but how can one be 
 
 12 warm alone ? And if a man prevail 
 against him that is alone, two shall 
 withstand him ; and a threefold cord is 
 not quickly broken. 
 
 13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an 
 old and foolish king, who knoweth not 
 how to receive admonition any more. 
 
 14 For out of prison he came forth to be 
 king; 1 yea, even in his kingdom he was 
 
 15 born poor. I saw all the living which 
 walk under the sun, that they were with 
 the youth, the second, that stood up in 
 
 16 his stead. 2 There was no end of all the 
 people, even of all them over whom he 
 was : yet they that come after shall not 
 rej oice in him. Surely this also is vanity 
 and a striving after wind. 
 
 5 Keep thy foot when thou goest to 
 the house of God ; for to draw nigh to 
 hear is better than to give the sacrifice 
 of fools : for they know not that they 
 
 2 do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, 
 and let not thine heart be hasty to utter 
 3 any thing before God ; for God is in 
 heaven, and thou upon earth : therefore 
 
 3 let thy words be few. For a dream 
 cometh with a multitude of 4 business; 
 and a fool’s voice with a multitude of 
 
 4 words. When thou vowest a vow unto 
 God, defer not to pay it ; for he hath 
 no pleasure in fools: pay that which 
 
 5 thou vowest. Better is it that thou 
 shouldest not vow, than that thou 
 
 6shouldest vow and not pay. Suffer 
 not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin ; 
 neither say thou before the 6 angel, that 
 it was an error : wherefore should God 
 be angry at thy voice, and destroy the 
 
 7 work of thine hands? 6 For thus it 
 
 3 Or, For 
 in the

 or, is a

 ivated

 cometh to pass through the multitude of 
 dreams and vanities and many words : 
 but fear thou God. 
 
 8 If thou seest the oppression of the 
 poor, and the violent taking away of 
 judgement and justice in 7 a province, 
 marvel not at the matter: for one 
 higher than the high regardeth; and 
 
 9 there be higher than they. 8 Moreover 
 the profit of the earth is for all: the 
 king himself is served by the field. 
 
 10 He that loveth silver shall not be 
 satisfied with silver ; nor he that loveth 
 abundance with increase: this also is 
 
 11 vanity. When goods increase, they are 
 increased that eat them : and what ad- 
 vantage is there to the owner thereof, 
 saving the beholding of them with his 
 
 12 eyes ? The sleep of a labouring man 
 is sweet, whether he eat little or much : 
 but the fulness of the rich will not suf- 
 fer him to sleep. 
 
 13 There is a grievous evil which I 
 have seen under the sun, namely , 
 
 riches kept by the owner thereof to 
 
 14 his hurt: and those riches perish by 
 evil 9 adventure ; and if he hath be- 
 gotten a son, there is nothing in his 
 
 15 hand. As he came forth of his mother’s 
 womb, naked shall he go again as he 
 came, and shall take nothing for his 
 labour, which he may carry away in 
 
 16 his hand. And this also is a grievous 
 evil, that in all points as he came, 
 so shall he go: and what profit hath 
 he that he laboureth for the wind? 
 
 17 10 All his days also he eateth in dark- 
 ness, and he is sore vexed and hath 
 sickness and wrath. 
 
 18 Behold, 11 that which I have seen to 
 be good and to be comely is for one to 
 eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in 
 all his labour, wherein he laboureth 
 under the sun, 12 all the days of his life 
 which God hath given him : for this is 
 
 19 his portion. Every man also to whom 
 God hath given riches and wealth, and 
 hath given him power to eat thereof, 
 and to take his portion, and to rejoice 
 in his labour ; this is the gift of God. 
 
 20 For he shall not much remember the 
 days of his life ; because God answereth 
 him in the joy of his heart. 
 
 6 There is an evil which I have seen 
 under the sun, and it is heavy upon 
 
 2 men : a man to whom God giveth riches, 
 wealth, and honour, so that he lacketli 
 nothing for his soul of all that he de- 
 sireth, yet God giveth him not power 
 to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it ; 
 this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. 
 
 3 If a man beget an hundred children, and 
 live many years, so that the days of his 
 years be many, but his soul be not filled 
 with good, and moreover he have no 
 burial; I say, that an untimely birth is 
 
 4 better than he : for it cometh in vanity, 
 and departeth in darkness, and the 
 name thereof is covered with darkness; 
 
 5 moreover it hath not seen the sun 
 13 nor known it; 14 this hath rest rather 
 
 6 than the other : yea, though he live a 
 thousand years twice told, and yet enj oy 
 
 7 no good : do not all go to one place ? All 
 the labour of man is for his mouth, and 
 
 8 yet the appetite is not filled. For what 
 advantage hath the wise more than 
 the fool ? 15 or what hath the poor man, 
 that knoweth to walk before the living? 
 
 9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the 
 wandering of the desire: this also is 
 vanity and a striving after wind. 
 
 10 16 Whatsoever hath been, the name 
 thereof was given long ago, and it is 
 known that it is 17 man : neither can he 
 contend with him that is mightier than 
 
 11 he. Seeing there be many 18 things 
 that increase vanity, what is man the 
 
 12 better ? For who knoweth what is good 
 for man in his life, 12 all the days of 
 his vain life which he spendeth as a 
 shadow? for who can tell a man what 
 shall be after him under the sun?

 wicked men, to whom it happeneth ac- 
 cording to the work of the righteous : 
 
 15 1 said that this also is vanity. Then I 
 commended mirth, because a man hath 
 no better thing under the sun, than to 
 eat, and to drink, and to be merry: 
 2 for that shall abide with him in his 
 labour all the days of his life which 
 God hath given him under the sun. 
 
 16 When I applied mine heart to know 
 wisdom, and to see the 2 business that 
 is done upon the earth: ( 3 for also 
 there is that neither day nor night seeth 
 
 17 sleep with his eyes:) then I beheld all 
 the work of God, that man cannot find 
 out the work that is done under the 
 sun: because however much a man 
 labour to seek it out, yet he shall not 
 find it; yea moreover, though a wise 
 man think to know it, yet shall he not 
 
 9 be able to find it. For all this I laid to 
 my heart, even to explore all this ; that 
 the righteous, and the wise, and their 
 works, are in the hand of God : whether 
 it be love or hatred, man knoweth it 
 
 2 not; all is before them. All things 
 come alike to all : there is one event to 
 the righteous and to the wicked ; to the 
 good 4 and to the clean and to the un- 
 clean; to him that sacrificeth and to 
 him that sacrificeth not : as is the good, 
 so is the sinner ; and he that sweareth, 
 
 3 as he that feareth an oath. This is an 
 evil in all that is done under the sun, 
 that there is one event unto all: yea 
 also, the heart of the sons of men is 
 full of evil, and madness is in their 
 heart while they live, and after that 
 
 4 they go to the dead. 5 For to him that 
 is joined with all the living there is 
 hope : for a living dog is better than a 
 
 5 dead lion. For the living know that 
 they shall die : but the dead know not 
 any thing, neither have they any more 
 a reward ; for the memory of them is 
 
 6 forgotten. As well their love, as their 
 hatred and their envy, is now perished ; 
 neither have they any more a portion 
 for ever in any thing that is done under 
 the sun. 
 
 7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, 
 and drink thy wine with a merry heart ; 
 for God hath already accepted thy 
 
 8 works. Let thy garments be always 
 white ; and let not thy head lack oint- 
 
 9ment. 6 Live joyfully with the wife 
 whom thou lovest all the days of the 
 life of thy vanity, which he hath given 
 thee under the sun, all the days of thy 
 vanity : for that is thy portion in life, 
 and in thy labour wherein thou labour - 
 
 lOest under the sun. Whatsoever thy 
 hand 7 findeth to do, do it with thy 
 might ; for there is no work, nor device, 
 nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in 8 the 
 grave, whither thou goest. 
 
 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, 
 that the race is not to the swift, nor 
 the battle to the strong, neither yet 
 
 bread to the wise, nor yet riches to 
 men of understanding, nor yet favour 
 to men of skill; but time and chance 
 
 12 happeneth to them all. For man also 
 knoweth not his time: as the fishes 
 that are taken in an evil net, and as the 
 birds that are caught in the snare, 
 even so are the sons of men snared in 
 an evil time, when it falleth suddenly 
 upon them. 
 
 13 I have also seen wisdom under the sun 
 on this wise, and it seemed great unto 
 
 14 me : there was a little city, and few men 
 within it ; and there came a great king 
 against it, and besieged it, and built 
 
 15 great bulwarks against it: now there 
 was found in it a poor wise man, and he 
 by his wisdom delivered the city ; yet no 
 man remembered that same poor man. 
 
 16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than 
 strength: nevertheless the poor man’s 
 wisdom is despised, and his words are 
 not heard. 
 
 17 The words of the wise 9 spoken in quiet 
 are heard more than the cry of him that 
 
 ISruleth among fools. Wisdom is better 
 than weapons of war : but one sinner 
 
 lOdestroyeth much good. Dead flies 
 cause the ointment of the perfumer 
 10 to send forth a stinking savour: so 
 doth a little folly 11 outweigh wisdom 
 
 2 and honour. A wise man’s heart is 
 at his right hand; but a fool’s heart 
 
 3 at his left. Yea also, when the fool 
 walketh by the way, his 12 understand- 
 ing faileth him, and he saitli 13 to every 
 
 4 one that he is a fool. If the spirit of 
 the ruler rise up against thee, leave 
 not thy place; for 14 yielding allay eth 
 
 5 great offences. There is an evil which 
 I have seen under the sun, as it were an 
 error which proceedeth from the ruler : 
 
 6 folly is set in great 15 dignity, and the 
 
 7 rich sit in low place. I have seen serv- 
 ants upon horses, and princes walk- 
 
 8ing as servants upon the earth. He 
 that diggeth a pit shall fall into it ; and 
 whoso breaketh through a fence, a ser- 
 
 9 pent shall bite him. Whoso 16 hewetli 
 out stones shall be hurt therewith ; and 
 he that cleaveth wood is endangered 
 
 10 thereby. If the iron be blunt, and one do 
 not whet the edge, then must he put to 
 more strength : but wisdom is profitable 
 
 11 to direct. 17 If the serpent bite 18 before 
 it be charmed, then is there no advant- 
 
 12 age in 19 the charmer. The words of 
 a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but 
 the lips of a fool will swallow up him- 
 
 13 self. The beginning of the words of 
 his mouth is foolishness : and the end 
 of 20 his talk is mischievous madness. 
 
 14 A fool also multiplieth words : yet man 
 knoweth not what shall be ; and that 
 which shall be after him, who can tell 
 
 15 him? The labour of fools wearietli 
 every one of them, for he knoweth not 
 
 16 how to go to the city. Woe to thee, 
 O land, when thy king is a 21 child,

 idleness of the hands the house leaketh. 
 
 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine 
 maketh glad the life : and money an-

 no, not in thy thought; and curse not 
 the rich in thy bedchamber : for a bird 
 of the air shall carry the voice, and that 
 which hath wings shall tell the matter. 
 
 11 3 Cast thy bread 4 upon the waters: 
 for thou slialt find it after many days. 
 
 2 5 Give a portion to seven, yea, even 
 unto eight ; for thou knowest not what 
 
 3 evil shall be upon the earth. If the 
 clouds be full of rain, they empty 
 themselves upon the earth: and if 
 a tree fall 6 toward the south, or 6 to- 
 ward the north, in the place where the 
 
 4 tree falleth, there shall it be. He that 
 observeth the wind shall not sow ; and 
 he that regardeth the clouds shall not 
 
 5 reap. As thou knowest not what is 
 the way of the 7 wind, nor how the 
 bones do grow in the womb of her 
 that is with child ; even so thou know- 
 est not the work of God who doeth all. 
 
 6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in 
 the evening withhold not thine hand : 
 for thou knowest not which shall pros- 
 per, whether this or that, or whether 
 
 7 they both shall be alike good. Truly 
 the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing 
 it is for the eyes to behold the sun. 
 
 8 8 Yea, if a man live many years, let 
 him rejoice in them all; 9 but let him 
 remember the days of darkness, for 
 they shall be many. All that cometh 
 is vanity. 
 
 9 Rejoice, 0 young man, in thy youth; 
 and let thy heart cheer thee in the 
 days of thy youth, and walk in the 
 ways of thine heart, and in the sight 
 of thine eyes : but know thou, that for 
 all these things God will bring thee 
 
 10 into judgement. Therefore remove 
 10 sorrow from thy heart, and put away 
 evil from thy flesh: for youth and 
 
 12 the prime of life are vanity. Re- 
 member also thy Creator in the days 
 
 of thy youth, or ever the evil days 
 come, and the years draw nigh, when 
 thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in 
 
 2 them ; or ever the sun, and the light, 
 and the moon, and the stars, be dark- 
 ened, and the clouds return after the 
 
 3 rain : in the day when the keepers of 
 the house shall tremble, and the strong 
 men shall bow themselves, and the 
 11 grinders cease because they are few, 
 and those that look out of the wind- 
 
 lows be darkened, and the doors shall 
 be shut in the street ; when the sound 
 of the grinding is low, and one shall 
 rise up at the voice of a bird, and all 
 the daughters of music shall be brought 
 
 5 low; yea, they shall be afraid 12 of that, 
 which is high, and terrors shall he in 
 the way; and the almond tree shall 
 blossom, and the grasshopper 13 shall 
 be a burden, and 14 the caper-berry 
 shall 15 fail: because man goeth to his 
 long home, and the mourners go about 
 
 6 the streets : or ever the silver cord be 
 16 loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, 
 or the pitcher be broken at the fount- 
 ain, or the wheel broken at the cistern ; 
 
 7 and the dust return to the earth as it 
 was, and the spirit return unto God 
 
 8 who gave it. Vanity of vanities, saitli 
 the Preacher ; all is vanity. 
 
 9 And further, because the Preacher 
 was wise, he still taught the people 
 knowledge; yea, he 17 pondered, and 
 sought out, and set in order many 
 
 10 proverbs. The Preacher sought to 
 find out 18 acceptable words, and that 
 which was written uprightly, even 
 words of truth. 
 
 11 The words of the wise are as goads, 
 and as nails well fastened are the 
 ivords of the 19 masters of assemblies, 
 which are given from one shepherd. 
 
 12 20 And furthermore, my son, be ad- 
 monished : of making many books there 
 is no end ; and much study is a weari- 
 ness of the flesh. 
 
 13 21 This is the end of the matter ; all 
 hath been heard: fear God, and keep 
 his commandments; for 22 this is the 
 
 14 whole duty of man. For God shall

 Threescore mighty men are about it, 
 Of the mighty men of Israel. 
 
 8 They all handle the sword, and are

 Every man hath his sword upon his

 Because of fear in the night.

 Of the wood of Lebanon. 
 
 10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, 
 The bottom thereof of gold, the seat of

 With the crown wherewith his mother

 4 Thy neck is like the tower of David 
 
 builded 9 for an armoury, 
 
 Whereon there hang a thousand buck- 
 lers, 
 
 All the shields of the mighty men.

 that are twins of a 10 roe, 
 
 Which feed among the lilies. 
 
 6 11 Until the day be cool, and the 
 shadows flee away, 
 
 I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, 
 And to the hill of frankincense. 
 
 7 Thou art all fair, my love ; 
 
 And there is no spot in thee. 
 
 8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, 
 With me from Lebanon : 
 
 12 Look from the top of Amana, 
 
 From the top of Senir and Hermon, 
 From the lions’ dens, 
 
 From the mountains of the leopards. 
 
 9 Thou hast 13 ravished my heart, my 
 
 sister, my bride ; 
 
 Thou hast 13 ravished my heart with 
 14 one of thine eyes, 
 
 With one chain of thy neck.

 How much better is thy love than wine! 
 And the smell of thine ointments than 
 
 all manner of spices ! 
 
 11 Thy lips, 0 my bride, 15 drop as the 
 
 honeycomb : 
 
 Honey and milk are under thy tongue ; 
 And the smell of thy garments is like 
 the smell of Lebanon. 
 
 12 A garden 16 shut up is my sister, my 
 
 bride ; 
 
 A 17 spring shut up, a fountain sealed. 
 
 13 Thy shoots are 18 an orchard of pome-

 Henna with spikenard plants,

 12 Let us get up early to the vineyards ; 
 Let us see whether the vine hath

 There will I give thee my love. 
 
 13 The 8 mandrakes give forth fragrance, 
 And 9 at our doors are all manner

 8 Oh that thou wert as my brother, 
 
 That sucked the breasts of my mother! 
 When I should find thee without, I 
 would kiss thee ; 
 
 Yea, and none would despise me. 
 
 21 would lead thee, and bring thee

 5 Who is this that cometli up from the 
 
 wilderness, 
 
 Leaning upon her beloved? 
 
 Under the apple tree I awakened 
 thee: 
 
 There thy mother was in travail with 
 thee, 
 
 There was she in travail 14 that brought 
 thee forth. 
 
 6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as 
 
 a seal upon thine arm : 
 
 For love is strong as death ; 
 
 Jealousy is 15 cruel as 16 the grave: 
 
 The flashes thereof are flashes of 
 fire, 
 
 17 A very flame of 18 the Lord. 
 
 7 Many waters cannot quench love, 
 Neither can the floods drown it: 
 
 If a man would give all the substance 
 of his house for love, 
 
 19 He would utterly be contemned. 
 
 8 We have a little sister, 
 
 And she hath no breasts : 
 
 What shall we do for our sister 
 
 In the day when she shall be spoken 
 for? 
 
 9 If she be a wall, 
 
 We will build upon her 20 a turret of 
 silver : 
 
 And if she be a door, 
 
 We will inclose her with boards of 
 cedar.

 Judah. 
 
 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O 
 earth, for the Lord hath spoken: I 
 have 1 nourished and brought up child- 
 ren, and they have rebelled against 
 
 3 me. The ox knoweth his owner, and 
 the ass his master’s crib: but Israel 
 doth not know, my people doth not 
 
 4 consider. Ah sinful nation, a people 
 laden with iniquity, a seed of evil- 
 doers, children that deal corruptly: 
 they have forsaken the Lord, they 
 have despised the Holy One of Israel, 
 they are estranged and gone backward. 
 
 5 2 Why will ye be still stricken, that 
 ye revolt more and more ? 3 the whole 
 head is sick, and 3 the whole heart 
 
 6 faint. From the sole of the foot even 
 unto the head there is no soundness 
 in it; but wounds, and bruises, and 
 4 festering sores: they have not been 
 closed, neither bound up, neither mol- 
 
 7 lified with oil. Your country is deso- 
 late ; your cities are burned with fire ; 
 your land, strangers devour it in your 
 presence, and it is desolate, 5 as over- 
 
 8 thrown by strangers. And the daughter 
 of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, 
 as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, 
 
 9 as a besieged city. Except the Lord 
 of hosts had left unto us a very small 
 remnant, we should have been as 
 Sodom, we should have been like unto 
 Gomorrah. 
 
 10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye 
 6 rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the 
 7 law of our God, ye people of Go- 
 
 II morrah. To what purpose is the 
 multitude of your sacrifices unto me ? 
 saith the Lord: I am full of the 
 burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of 
 fed beasts; and I delight not in the 
 blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of 
 
 12he-goats. When ye come 8 to appear 
 before me, who hath required this at 
 your hand, to trample my courts? 
 
 13 Bring no more 9 vain oblations; in- 
 cense is an abomination unto me; 
 new moon and sabbath, the calling of 
 assemblies, — 10 1 cannot away with in- 
 
 14 iquity and the solemn meeting. Your 
 new moons and your appointed feasts 
 my soul hateth: they are a 11 trouble 
 unto me; I am weary to bear them. 
 
 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, 
 I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, 
 when ye make many prayers, I will 
 not hear : your hands are full of blood. 
 
 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away 
 the evil of your doings from before 
 
 17 mine eyes ; cease to do evil : learn to 
 do well; seek judgement, 12 relieve the 
 oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead 
 for the widow. 
 
 18 Come now, and let us reason together, 
 saith the Lord : though your sins be as 
 scarlet, they shall be as white as snow ; 
 though they be red like crimson, they 
 
 19 shall be as wool. If ye be willing and 
 obedient, ye shall eat the good of the 
 
 20 land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye 
 shall be devoured with the sword : for 
 the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 
 
 21 How is the faithful city become an 
 harlot! she that was full of judge- 
 ment! righteousness lodged in her, 
 
 22 but now murderers. Thy silver is 
 become dross, thy wine mixed with 
 
 23 water. Thy princes are rebellious, 
 and companions of thieves ; every one 
 loveth gifts, and followeth after re- 
 wards: they judge not the fatherless, 
 neither doth the cause of the widow 
 come unto them. 
 
 24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord 
 of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, 
 Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, 
 
 25 and avenge me of mine enemies : and 
 I will 13 turn my hand upon thee, and 
 14 throughly purge away thy dross, 
 
 26 and will take away all thy 15 tin : and 
 I will restore thy judges as at the 
 first, and thy counsellors as at the 
 beginning: afterward thou shalt be 
 called The city of righteousness, the 
 
 27 faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed 
 with judgement, and 16 her converts 
 
 28 with righteousness. But the 17 de- 
 struction of the transgressors and the 
 sinners shall be together, and they 
 that forsake the Lord shall be con- 
 
 29 suitied. For they shall be ashamed 
 of the 18 oaks which ye have desired, 
 and ye shall be confounded for the 
 
 30 gardens that ye have chosen. For ye 
 shall be as 19 an oak wiiose leaf fadeth, 
 and as a garden that hath no water. 
 
 31 And the strong shall be as tow, and 
 his work as a spark; and they shall 
 both burn together, and none shall 
 quench them.

 come to pass, that instead of sweet 
 spices there shall be rottenness; and 
 instead of a girdle a rope ; and mstead 
 of well set hair baldness ; and instead 
 of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth : 
 
 25 branding instead of beauty. Thy men 
 shall fall by the sword, and thy 3 mighty 
 
 26 in the war. And her gates shall lament 
 and mourn ; and she shall be 4 desolate

 women shall take hold of one man in 
 that day, saying, We will eat our own 
 bread, and wear our own apparel : only 
 let us be called by thy name ; take thou 
 away our reproach. 
 
 2 In that day shall the 5 branch of the 
 Lord be beautiful and glorious, and 
 the fruit of the 6 land shall be 7 excel- 
 lent and comely for them that are 
 
 3 escaped of Israel. And it shall come 
 to pass, that he that is left in Zion, 
 and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, 
 shall be called holy, even every one 
 that is written 8 among the living in 
 
 4 Jerusalem : when the Lord shall have 
 washed away the filth of the daughters 
 of Zion, and shall have purged the 
 blood of Jerusalem from the midst 
 thereof, by the 9 spirit of judgement, 
 
 5 and by the 9 spirit of burning. And the 
 Lord will create over 10 the whole hab- 
 itation of momit Zion, and over her 
 assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, 
 and the shining of a flaming fire by 
 night : for over all the glory shall he 
 
 6 spread a canopy. And there shall be a 
 pavilion for a shadow in the day-time 
 from the heat, and for a refuge and for 
 a covert from storm and from rain. 
 
 5 Let me sing 11 for my wellbeloved a 
 
 song of my beloved touching his vine- 
 
 yard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard 
 
 2 in 12 a very fruitful hill : and he 13 * made 
 
 a trench about it, and gathered out 
 
 the stones thereof, and planted it with 
 
 the choicest vine, and built a tower in 
 
 the midst of it, and also hewed out a 
 
 14 winepress therein : and he looked that 
 
 it should bring forth grapes, and it 
 
 3 brought forth wild grapes. And now, 
 
 0 inhabitants of Jerusalem and men 
 
 of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt 
 
 4 me and my vineyard. What could 
 have been done more to my vineyard, 
 that I have not done in it ? wherefore, 
 when I looked that it should bring 
 forth grapes, brought it forth wild 
 
 5 grapes? And now go to; I will tell 
 you what I will do to my vineyard : I 
 will take away the hedge thereof, and 
 it shall be 15 eaten up; I will break 
 down the fence thereof, and it shall 
 
 6 be trodden down: and I will lay it 
 waste; it shall not be pruned nor 
 hoed; but there shall come up briers 
 and thorns : I will also command the 
 clouds that they rain no rain upon 
 
 7 it. For the vineyard of the Lord of 
 hosts is the house of Israel, and the 
 men of Judah 16 his pleasant plant: 
 and he looked for judgement, but be- 
 hold 17 oppression ; for righteousness, 
 but behold a cry. 
 
 8 Woe unto them that join house to 
 house, that lay field to field, till there 
 be no room, and ye be made to dwell 
 
 9 alone in the midst of the land! In 
 mine ears saith the Lord of hosts, Of 
 a truth many houses shall be desolate, 
 even great and fair, without inhabit- 
 
 10 ant. For ten acres of vineyard shall 
 yield one bath, and a 18 homer u. seed 
 shall yield hut an ephah. 
 
 11 Woe unto them that rise up early in 
 the morning, that they may follow 
 strong drink ; that tarry late into the 
 
 12 night, till wine inflame them! And 
 the harp and the lute, the tabret and 
 the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts : 
 but they regard not the work of the 
 Lord, neither have they considered 
 
 13 the operation of his hands. There- 
 fore my people are gone into captivity, 
 for lack of knowledge: and 19 their 
 honourable men are famished, and 
 their multitude are parched with thirst. 
 
 14 Therefore 20 hell hath enlarged her 
 desire, and opened her mouth without 
 measure: and their glory, and their 
 multitude, and their 21 pomp, and he 
 that rejoiceth among them, descend 
 
 15 into it. And the mean man is bowed 
 down, and the great man is humbled, 
 and the eyes of the lofty are humbled : 
 
 16 but the Lord of hosts is exalted in 
 judgement, and G-od the Holy One is 
 
 17 sanctified in righteousness. Then shall 
 the lambs feed as in their pasture, and 
 the waste places of the fat ones shall 
 22 wanderers eat. 
 
 18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity 
 with cords of vanity, and sin as it 
 
 19 were with a cart rope : that say, Let 
 him make speed, let him hasten his 
 work, that we may see it : and let the 
 counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw 
 nigh and come, that we may know it ! 
 
 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, 
 and good evil; that put darkness for 
 light, and light for darkness ; that put 
 bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter !

 21 Woe unto them that are wise hi

 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to

 23 mingle strong drink: which justify the

 righteousness of the righteous from 
 
 24 him! Therefore as the tongue of fire 
 devoureth the stubble, and as the dry 
 grass sinketh down in the flame, so 
 then* root shall be as rottenness, and

 because they have rejected the 4 law 
 of the Lord of hosts, and despised the 
 word of the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord 
 kindled against his people, and he hath 
 stretched forth his hand against them, 
 and hath smitten them, and the hills 
 did tremble, and their carcases were as 
 refuse in the midst of the streets. For 
 all this his anger is not turned away, 
 but his hand is stretched out still. 
 
 26 And he will lift up an ensign to the 
 nations from far, and will hiss for 
 2 them from the end of the earth : and, 
 behold, 3 they shall come with speed 
 
 27 swiftly: none shall be weary nor stum- 
 ble among them; none shall slumber 
 nor sleep ; neither shall the girdle of 
 their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of 
 
 28 their shoes be broken : whose arrows are 
 sharp, and all their bows bent; their 
 horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, 
 
 29 and their wheels like a whirlwind : their 
 roaring shall be like a lion, they shall 
 roar like young lions : yea, they shall 
 roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry 
 it away safe, and there shall be none to 
 
 30 deliver. And they shall roar 4 against 
 them in that day like the roaring of the 
 sea: and if one look unto the land, ^be- 
 hold darkness and distress, and the light 
 is darkened in the clouds thereof. 
 
 6 In the year that king Uzziah died I 
 saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, 
 high and lifted up, and his 6 train filled 
 
 2 the temple. Above him stood the 
 seraphim : each one had six wings ; 
 with twain he covered his face, and 
 with twain he covered his feet, and with 
 
 3 twain he did fly. And one cried unto 
 another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is 
 the Lord of hosts : 7 the whole earth 
 
 4 is full of his glory. And the found- 
 ations of the thresholds were moved 
 at the voice of him that cried, and 
 the house was filled with smoke. 
 
 5 Then said I, Woe is me ! for I am un- 
 done ; because I am a man of unclean 
 lips, and I dwell in the midst of a 
 people of unclean lips : for mine eyes 
 have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 
 
 6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto 
 me, having a 8 live coal in his hand, 
 which he had taken with the tongs 
 
 7 from off the altar : and he touched my 
 
 mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath 
 touched thy lips; and thine iniquity 
 is taken away, and thy sin 9 purged. 
 
 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, 
 saying, Whom shall I send, and who 
 will go for us ? Then I said, Here am 
 91; send me. And he said, Go, and 
 tell this people, Hear ye 10 indeed, but 
 understand not; and see ye 10 indeed, 
 
 10 but perceive not. Make the heart of 
 this people fat, and make their ears 
 heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they 
 see with their eyes, and hear with 
 their ears, and 11 understand with their 
 heart, and turn again, and be healed. 
 
 11 Then said I, Lord, how long ? And 
 he answered, Until cities be waste 
 without inhabitant, and houses with- 
 out man, and tlie land become utterly 
 
 12 waste, and the Lord have removed 
 men far away, and the forsaken places 
 
 13 be many in the midst of the land. 12 And 
 if there be yet a tenth in it, it shall 
 again be 13 eaten up : as a terebinth, and 
 as an oak, 14 whose 15 stock remaineth, 
 when they 16 are felled; so the holy 
 seed is the 15 stock thereof. 
 
 7” And it came to pass in the days of 
 Aliaz the son of Jotliam, the son of 
 Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the 
 king of Syria, and Pekah the son of 
 Remaliali, king of Israel, went up to 
 J erusalem to war against it ; but could 
 
 2 not prevail against it. And it was 
 told the house of David, saying, Syria 
 
 17 is confederate with Ephraim. And 
 his heart was moved, and the heart of 
 his people, as the trees of the forest 
 are moved with the wind. 
 
 3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go 
 forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and 
 
 18 Shear- jashub thy son, at the end of 
 the conduit of the upper pool, in the 
 
 4 high way of the fuller’s field; and say 
 unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; 
 fear not, neither let thine heart be 
 faint, because of these two tails of 
 smoking firebrands, for the fierce 
 anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the 
 
 5 son of Remaliali. Because Syria hath 
 counselled evil against thee, Ephraim 
 also , and the son of Remaliali, saying, 
 
 6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex 
 it, and let us make a breach therein 
 for us, and set up a king in the midst 
 
 7 of it, even the son of Tabeel: thus 
 saith the Lord God, It shall not 
 stand, neither shall it come to pass. 
 
 8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, 
 and the head of Damascus is Rezir.: 
 and within threescore and five years 
 shall Ephraim be broken in pieces, 
 
 9 that it be not a people : and the head 
 of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head 
 of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye 
 will not believe, surely ye shall not be

 11 Aliaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the 
 Lord thy God; *ask it either in the 
 
 12 depth, or in the height above. But 
 Aliaz said, I will not ask, neither will 
 
 131 tempt the Lord. And he said, Hear 
 ye now, 0 house of David ; is it a small 
 thing for you to weary men, that ye 
 
 14 will weary my God also? Therefore 
 the Lord himself shall give you a 
 sign; behold, 2 a 3 virgin 4 shall con- 
 ceive, and bear a son, and shall call 
 
 15 his name 5 Immanuel. 6 Butter and 
 honey shall he eat, 7 when he know- 
 eth to refuse the evil, and choose 
 
 16 the good. For before the child shall 
 know to refuse the evil, and choose 
 the good, the land whose two kings 
 
 17 thou abliorrest shall be forsaken. The 
 Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon 
 thy people, and upon thy father’s 
 house, days that have not come, from 
 the day that Ephraim departed from 
 Judah ; even the king of Assyria. 
 
 18 And it shall come to pass in that 
 day, that the Lord shall hiss for the 
 fly that is in the uttermost part of the 
 rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that 
 
 19 is in the land of Assyria. And they 
 shall come, and shall rest all of them 
 in the 8 desolate valleys, and in the 
 holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, 
 and upon all 9 pastures. 
 
 20 In that day shall the Lord shave 
 with a razor that is hired, which is in 
 the parts beyond the Biver, even with 
 the king of Assyria, the head and the 
 hair of the feet : and it shall also con- 
 sume the beard. 
 
 21 And it shall come to pass in that 
 day, that a man shall nourish a young 
 
 22 cow, and two sheep ; and it shall come 
 to pass, for the abundance of milk that 
 they shall give he shall eat butter : for 
 butter and honey shall every one eat 
 that is left in the midst of the land. 
 
 23 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that every place, where there were a 
 thousand vines at a thousand silver- 
 lings, shall even be for briers and 
 
 24 thorns. With arrows and with bow 
 shall one come thither ; because all the 
 
 25 land shall be briers and thorns. And 
 all the hills that were digged with the 
 mattock, 10 * thou slialt not come thither 
 for fear of briers and thorns, but it 
 shall be for the sending forth of oxen, 
 and for the treading of sheep. 
 
 8 And the Lord said unto me, Take 
 
 thee a great tablet, and write upon it 
 
 11 with the pen of a man, For 12 Malier- 
 
 2 slialal-hasli-baz ; and I will take unto 
 
 me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah 
 
 the priest, and Zecliariah the son of 
 
 3 Jeberechiali. And I went unto the 
 
 prophetess; and she conceived, and 
 
 bare a son. Then said the Lord unto 
 
 me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hasli- 
 
 4baz. For before the child shall have 
 
 knowledge to cry, My father, and, My 
 mother, the riches of Damascus and 
 the spoil of Samaria shall be carried 
 away before the king of Assyria. 
 
 5 And the Lord spake mito me yet 
 
 6 again, saying, Forasmuch as this peo- 
 ple hath refused the waters of Shiloah 
 that go softly, 13 and rejoice 14 in Rezin 
 
 7 and Remaliali’s son ; now therefore, be- 
 hold, the Lord bringeth up upon them 
 the waters of the River, strong and 
 many, even the king of Assyria and all 
 his glory : and he shall come up over 
 all his channels, and go over all his 
 
 8 banks : and he shall sweep onward 
 into Judah ; he shall overflow and pass 
 through; he shall reach even to the 
 neck; and the stretching out of his 
 wings shall fill the breadth of thy 
 land, 15 0 Immanuel. 
 
 9 16 Make an uproar, 0 ye peoples, and 
 ye shall be broken in pieces; and 
 give ear, all ye of far countries: gird 
 yourselves, and ye shall be broken in 
 pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall 
 
 10 be broken in pieces. Take counsel 
 together, and it shall be brought to 
 nought ; speak the word, and it shall 
 
 11 not stand : for 17 God is with us. For 
 the Lord spake thus to me 18 with a 
 strong hand, and instructed me that I 
 should not walk in the way of this peo- 
 
 12 pie, saying, Say ye not, A conspiracy, 
 concerning all whereof this people 
 shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear 
 ye their fear, nor be in dread thereof. 
 
 13 The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanc- 
 tify ; and let him be your fear, and let 
 
 14 him be your dread. And he shall be 
 for a sanctuary; but for a stone of 
 stumbling and for a rock of offence to 
 both the houses of Israel, for a gin 
 and for a snare to the inhabitants of 
 
 15 Jerusalem. And 19 many shall stumble 
 thereon, and fall, and be broken, and 
 be snared, and be taken. 
 
 16 Bind thou up the testimony, seal the 
 
 17 20 law among my disciples. And I will 
 wait for the Lord, that hideth his face 
 from the house of Jacob, and I will 
 
 18 look for him. Behold, I and the child- 
 ren whom the Lord hath given me 
 are for signs and for wonders in Israel 
 from the Lord of hosts, which dwell- 
 eth in mount Zion. 
 
 19 And when they shall say unto you, 
 Seek unto them that have familiar 
 spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp 
 and that mutter : should not a people 
 seek unto their God ? on behalf of the 
 living should they seeh unto the dead? 
 
 20 To the 20 law and to the testimony! 2 Gf 
 they speak not according to this word, 
 surely there is no morning for them. 
 
 21 And they shall pass through it, hardly 
 bestead and hungry : and it shall come 
 to pass that, when they shall be hungry, 
 they shall fret themselves, and 22 curse

 no gloom to her that was in anguish. 
 In the former time he brought into con- 
 tempt the land of Zebulun and the land 
 of Naplitali, but in the latter time hath 
 he made it glorious, by the way of the 
 sea, beyond Jordan, 4 Galilee of the 
 
 2 nations. The people that walked in 
 darkness have seen a great light : they 
 that dwelt in the land of the 5 shadow of 
 death, upon them hath the light shined. 
 
 3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, 6 thou 
 hast increased their joy: they joy 
 before thee according to the joy in 
 harvest, as men rejoice when they 
 
 4 divide the spoil. For the yoke of his 
 burden, and the staff of his shoulder, 
 the rod of his oppressor, thou hast 
 
 5 broken as in the day of Midian. For 
 7 all the armour of the armed man in 
 the tumult, and the garments rolled in 
 blood, shall even be for burning, for 
 
 6 fuel of fire. For unto us a child is 
 born, unto us a son is given ; and the 
 government shall be upon his shoulder: 
 and his name shall be called 8 Wonder- 
 ful, Counsellor, Mighty God, 9 Everlast- 
 
 7 ing Father, Prince of Peace. Of the 
 increase of liis government and of peace 
 there shall be no end, upon the throne 
 of David, and upon his kingdom, to 
 establish it, and to uphold it with 
 judgement and with righteousness from 
 henceforth even for ever. The zeal of 
 the Lord of hosts shall perform this. 
 
 8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, 
 
 9 and it hath lighted upon Israel. And 
 all the people shall know, even Ephraim 
 and the inhabitant of Samaria, that 
 say in pride and in stoutness of heart, 
 
 10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build 
 with hewn stone: the sycomores are 
 cut down, but we will change them into 
 
 11 cedars. Therefore the Lord 10 shall 
 set up on high against him the advers- 
 aries of Bezin, and 11 shall 12 stir up his 
 
 12 enemies ; the Syrians 13 before, and the 
 Philistines 14 behind; and they 15 shall 
 devour Israel with open mouth. For 
 all this his anger is not turned away, 
 but his hand is stretched out still. 
 
 13 Yet the people hath not turned unto 
 him that smote them, neither have 
 
 14 they sought the Lord of hosts. There- 
 fore the Lord 16 will cutoff from Israel 
 head and tail, palm-brancli and rush, 
 
 15 in one day. The 17 ancient and the 
 honourable man, he is the head; and 
 the prophet that teaclietli lies, he is 
 
 16 the tail. For they that lead this people 
 cause them to err ; and they that are 
 
 17 led of them are 18 destroyed. Therefore 
 the Lord shall not rejoice over their 
 young men, neither shall he have com- 
 passion on their fatherless and widows : 
 
 for every one is profane and an evil- 
 doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. 
 For all this his anger is not turned 
 away, but his hand is stretched out still. 
 
 18 For wickedness burnetii as the fire; 
 it devour etli the briers and thorns: 
 yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the 
 forest, and they roll upward in thick 
 
 19 clouds of smoke. Through the wrath 
 of the Lord of hosts is the land 19 burnt 
 up : the people also are as the fuel of 
 
 20 fire ; no man spareth his brother. And 
 one shall snatch on the right hand, 
 and be hungry; and he shall eat on 
 the left hand, and they shall not be 
 satisfied: they shall eat every man 
 
 21 the flesh of his own arm: Manasseli, 
 Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseli: 
 and they together shall be against 
 Judah. For all this his anger is not 
 turned away, but his hand is stretched 
 out still. 
 
 10 Woe unto them that decree unright- 
 eous decrees, and to the writers that 
 
 2 write perverseness : to turn aside the 
 needy from judgement, and to take 
 away the right of the poor of my peo- 
 ple, that widows may be their spoil, 
 and that they may make the fatherless 
 
 3 their prey ! And what will ye do in the 
 day of visitation, and in the desolation 
 ■which shall come from far? to whom 
 will ye flee for help ? and where will ye 
 
 4 leave your glory? 20 They shall only 
 bow ' down under the prisoners, and 
 shall fall under the slain. For all this 
 his anger is not turned away, but his 
 hand is stretched out still. 
 
 5 21 Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, 
 the staff in whose hand is mine indig- 
 
 6 nation ! I will send him against a pro- 
 fane nation, and against the people of 
 my wrath will I give him a charge, to 
 take the spoil, and to take the prey, 
 and 22 to tread them down like the mire 
 
 7 of the streets. Howbeit he meanetli 
 not so, neither doth his heart think so ; 
 but it is in his heart to destroy, and to 
 
 8 cut off nations not a few. For he saitli, 
 Are not my princes all of them kings ? 
 
 9 Is not Calno as Carcliemisli? is not 
 Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as 
 
 10 Damascus ? As my hand hath 23 found 
 the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven 
 images did excel them of Jerusalem 
 
 11 and of Samaria ; shall I not, as I have 
 done unto Samaria and her idols, so 
 do to Jerusalem and her idols ? 
 
 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that 
 when the Lord hath performed his 
 whole work upon mount Zion and on 
 Jerusalem, I will 24 punish the fruit of 
 the stout heart of the king of Assyria, 
 
 13 and the glory of his high looks. For he 
 hath said, By the strength of my hand 
 I have done it, and by my wisdom; 
 for I am prudent : and I have removed

 tines on the west ; together shall they 
 spoil the children of the east: they 
 shall put forth their hand upon Edom 
 and Moab ; and the children of Ammon 
 
 15 shall obey them. And the Lord shall 
 2 utterly destroy the tongue of the 
 Egyptian sea; and with his 3 scorch- 
 ing wind shall he shake his hand over 
 the River, and shall smite it into seven 
 streams, and cause men to march 
 
 16 over dryshod. And there shall be an 
 high way for the remnant of his people, 
 which shall remain, from Assyria ; like 
 as there was for Israel in the day that 
 he came up out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 12 And in that day thou shalt say, I 
 will give thanks unto thee, 0 Lord; 
 for though thou wast angry with me, 
 4 thine anger is turned away, and thou 
 
 2comfortest me. Behold, God is my 
 salvation; I will trust, and will not 
 be afraid: for 6 the Lord jehovah is 
 my strength and song ; and he is be- 
 
 3 come my salvation. Therefore with 
 joy shall ye draw water out of the 
 
 4 wells of salvation. And in that day 
 shall ye say, Give thanks unto the 
 Lord, 6 call upon his name, declare his 
 doings among the peoples, make men- 
 
 5tion that his name is exalted. Sing 
 unto the Lord ; for he hath done 7 ex- 
 cellent things: 8 let this be known in 
 
 6 all the earth. Cry aloud and shout, 
 thou 9 inhabitant of Zion : for great is 
 the Holy One of Israel in the midst of 
 thee. 
 
 13 The 10 burden of Babylon, which 
 Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. 
 
 2 Set ye up an ensign upon the bare 
 mountain, lift up the voice unto them, 
 wave the hand, that they may go into the 
 
 3 gates of the nobles. I have command- 
 ed my consecrated ones, yea, I have 
 called my mighty men for mine anger, 
 
 4 even 11 my proudly exulting ones. The 
 noise of a multitude in the mountains, 
 like as of a great people ! the noise of a 
 tumult of the kingdoms of the nations 
 gathered together ! the Lord of hosts 
 
 5 mustereth the host for the battle. They 
 come from a far country, from the ut- 
 termost part of heaven, even the Lord, 
 and the weapons of his indignation, to 
 
 6 destroy the whole land. Howl ye ; for 
 the day of the Lord is at hand ; as de- 
 struction from 12 the Almighty shall it 
 
 7 come. Therefore shall all hands be 
 feeble, and every heart of man shall 
 
 8 melt: and they shall be dismayed; 
 13 pangs and sorrows shall take hold of 
 them ; they shall be in pain as a woman 
 in travail : they shall be amazed one at 
 another; their faces shall he faces of 
 
 9 flame. Behold, the day of the Lord 
 cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce 
 anger; to make the land a desolation, 
 and to destroy the sinners thereof out 
 
 10 of it. For the stars of heaven and the 
 constellations thereof shall not give 
 their light : the sun shall be darkened in 
 his going forth, and the moon shall not 
 
 11 cause her light to shine. And I will 
 punish the world for their evil, and the 
 wicked for their iniquity; and I will 
 cause the arrogancy of the proud to 
 cease, and will lay low the haughtiness 
 
 12 of the terrible. I will make a man 
 more rare than fine gold, even a man 
 
 13 than the pure gold of Ophir. There- 
 fore I will make the heavens to tremble, 
 and the earth shall be shaken out of 
 her place, in the wrath of the Lord of 
 hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. 
 
 14 And it shall come to pass, that as the 
 chased 14 roe, and as sheep that no man 
 gathereth, they shall turn every man 
 to his own people, and shall flee every 
 
 15 man to his own land. Every one that 
 is found shall be thrust through ; and 
 every one that is 15 taken shall fall by 
 
 16 the sword. Their infants also shall be 
 dashed in pieces before their eyes; 
 their houses shall be spoiled, and their 
 
 17 wives ravished. Behold, I will stir up 
 the Medes against them, which shall 
 not regard silver, and as for gold, they 
 
 18 shall not delight in it. And their bows 
 shall dash the young men in pieces; 
 and they shall have no pity on the fruit 
 of the womb ; their eye shall not spare 
 
 19 children. And Babylon, the glory of 
 kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ 
 pride, shall be as when God overthrew 
 
 20 Sodom arid Gomorrah. It shall never 
 be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt 
 in from generation to generation : nei- 
 ther shall the Arabian pitch tent there ; 
 neither shall shepherds make their 
 
 21 flocks to lie down there. But wild beasts 
 of the desert shall lie there ; and their 
 houses shall be full of doleful crea- 
 tures ; and ostriches shall dwell there, 
 
 22 and 16 satyrs shall dance there. And 
 17 wolves shall 18 cry in their castles, 
 and jackals in the pleasant palaces: 
 and her time is near to come, and her 
 
 14 days shall not be prolonged. For the 
 Lord will have compassion on Jacob, 
 and will yet choose Israel, and set them 
 in their own land: and the stranger 
 shall join himself with them, and they 
 shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 
 
 2 And the peoples shall take them, and 
 bring them to their place: and the 
 house of Israel shall possess them in 
 the land of the Lord for servants and 
 for handmaids: and they shall take 
 them captive, whose captives they 
 were; and they shall rule over their 
 oppressors.

 rest from thy sorrow, and from thy 
 trouble, and from tlie hard service 
 
 4 wherein thou wast made to serve, that 
 thou slialt take up this parable against 
 the king of Babylon, and say, How 
 hath the oppressor ceased! the 1 golden 
 
 5 city ceased! The Lord hath broken 
 the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of 
 
 6 the rulers ; 2 that smote the peoples in 
 wrath with a continual stroke, that 
 ruled the nations in anger, with a per- 
 
 7 secution that none restrained. The 
 whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: 
 
 8 they break forth into singing. Yea, 
 the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the 
 cedars of Lebanon, saying , Since thou 
 art laid down, no feller is come up 
 
 9 against us. 3 Hell from beneath is 
 moved for thee to meet thee at thy 
 coming: it stirreth up 4 the dead for 
 thee, even all the 5 chief ones of the 
 earth; it hath raised up from their 
 thrones all the kings of the nations. 
 
 10 All they shall answer and say unto 
 thee, Art thou also become weak as 
 we? art thou become like unto us? 
 
 11 Thy pomp is brought down to 3 hell, 
 and the noise of thy viols : the worm is 
 spread under thee, and worms cover 
 
 12 thee. How art thou fallen from hea- 
 ven, O day star, son of the morning! 
 how art thou cut down to the ground, 
 
 13 which didst lay low the nations ! And 
 thou saidst in thine heart, I will ascend 
 into heaven, I will exalt my throne 
 above the stars of God ; and I will sit 
 upon the mount of congregation, in the 
 
 14 uttermost parts of the north: I will 
 ascend above the heights of the clouds ; 
 
 151 will be like the Most High. Yet 
 thou slialt be brought down to 3 hell, 
 to the uttermost parts of the pit. 
 
 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look 
 upon thee, they shall consider thee, 
 saying , Is this the man that made the 
 earth to tremble, that did shake king- 
 
 17 doms; that made the world as a wild- 
 erness, and overthrew the cities there- 
 of ; that let not loose his prisoners to 
 
 18 their home ? All the kings of the na- 
 tions, all of them, sleep in glory, every 
 
 19 one in his own house. But thou art 
 cast forth away from thy sepulchre 
 like an abominable branch, 6 clothed 
 with the slain, that are thrust through 
 with the sword, that go down to the 
 stones of the pit ; as a carcase trodden 
 
 20 under foot. Thou slialt not be joined 
 with them in burial, because thou hast 
 destroyed thy land, thou hast slain 
 thy people ; the seed of evil-doers shall 
 
 21 not be named for ever. Prepare ye 
 7 slaughter for his children for the in- 
 iquity of their fathers ; that they rise 
 not up, and possess the earth, and fill 
 
 22 the face of the world with cities. And 
 I will rise up against them, saitli the 
 Lord of hosts, and cut off from Baby- 
 lon name and remnant, and son and 
 
 23 son’s son, saith the Lord. I will also 
 make it a possession for the porcupine, 
 and pools of water : and I will sweep 
 it with the besom of destruction, saith 
 the Lord of hosts. 
 
 24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, say- 
 ing, Surely as I have thought, so shall it 
 come to pass ; and as I have purposed, 
 
 25 so shall it stand : that I will break the 
 Assyrian in my land, and upon my 
 mountains tread him under foot : then 
 shall his yoke depart from off them, and 
 his burden depart from off their shoul- 
 
 26 der. This is the purpose that is pur- 
 posed upon the whole earth : and this is 
 the hand that is stretched out upon all 
 
 27 the nations. For the Lord of hosts 
 hath purposed, and who shall disannul 
 it? and his hand is stretched out, and 
 who shall turn it back ? 
 
 28 In the year that king Ahaz died was 
 this 8 burden. 
 
 29 Rejoice not, 0 Philistia, all of thee, 
 because the rod that smote thee is 
 broken: for out of the serpent’s root 
 shall come forth a 9 basilisk, and his 
 fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 
 
 30 And the firstborn of the poor shall 
 feed, and the needy shall lie down in 
 safety: and I will kill thy root with 
 famine, and thy remnant shall be slain. 
 
 31 Howl, 0 gate; cry, 0 city; thou art 
 melted away, 0 Philistia, all of thee; 
 for there cometh a smoke out of the 
 north, and 10 none standetli aloof at 
 
 32 his appointed times. What then shall 
 one answer the messengers of the 
 nation ? That the Lord hath founded 
 Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of 
 his people take refuge. 
 
 15 The 11 burden of Moab. 
 
 For 12 in a night Ar of Moab is laid 
 waste, and brought to nought ; for 12 in 
 a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and 
 
 2 brought to nought. 13 He is gone up 
 to 14 Bayitli, and to Dibon, to the high 
 places, to weep: Moab howletli 15 over 
 Nebo, and 15 over Medeba: on all their 
 heads is baldness, every beard is cut 
 
 3 off. In their streets they gird them- 
 selves with sackcloth : on their house- 
 tops, and in their broad places, every 
 one liowleth, weeping abundantly. 
 
 4 And Heslibon crietli out, and Elealeh; 
 their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: 
 therefore the armed men of Moab cry 
 aloud; his soul trembletli within him. 
 
 5 My heart crietli out for Moab; her 
 16 nobles flee unto Zoar, 17 to Eglatli- 
 slielisliiyah : for by the ascent of Lu- 
 liitli with weeping they go up ; for in 
 the way of Horonaim they raise up 
 
 6 a cry of destruction. For the waters 
 of Nimrim shall be 18 desolate: for the 
 grass is withered away, the tender 
 grass faileth, there is no green thing.

 round about the borders of Moab ; the 
 howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the 
 
 9 howling thereof unto Beer-elim. For 
 the waters of Dimon are full of blood : 
 for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, 
 a lion upon him that escapetli of Moab, 
 and upon the remnant of the land. 
 
 16 2 Send ye the lambs for the ruler of 
 the land from 3 Sela 4 which is toward 
 the wilderness, unto the mount of the 
 
 2 daughter of Zion. For it shall be 
 that, as wandering birds, as a scattered 
 nest, so shall the daughters of Moab 
 
 3 be at the fords of Arnon. Give counsel, 
 execute judgement ; make thy shadow 
 as the night in the midst of the noon- 
 day : hide the outcasts ; bewray not the 
 
 4 wanderer. 5 Let mine outcasts dwell 
 with thee; as for Moab, be thou a 
 covert to him from the face of the 
 spoiler : for 6 the extortioner is brought 
 to nought, spoiling ceaseth, 7 the op- 
 pressors are consumed out of the land. 
 
 5 And a throne shall be established in 
 mercy, and one shall sit thereon in 
 truth, in the tent of David; judging, 
 and seeking judgement, and swift to 
 do righteousness. 
 
 6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, 
 that he is very proud ; even of his ar- 
 rogancy, and his pride, and his wrath ; 
 
 7 his boastings are nought. Therefore 
 shall Moab howl for Moab, every one 
 shall howl: for the 8 raisin-cakes of 
 Kir-haresetli shall ye mourn, utterly 
 
 8 stricken. For the fields of Heshbon 
 languish, and the vine of Sibmah; 
 9 the lords of the nations have broken 
 down the choice plants thereof; they 
 reached even unto Jazer, they wan- 
 dered into the wilderness; her branches 
 were spread abroad, they passed over 
 
 9 the sea. Therefore I will weep with 
 the weeping of Jazer for the vine of 
 Sibmah: I will water thee with my 
 tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for 
 upon thy summer fruits and upon thy 
 
 10 harvest the battle shout is fallen. And 
 gladness is taken away, and joy out of 
 the fruitful field ; and in the vineyards 
 there shall be no singing, neither joy- 
 ful noise: no treader shall tread out 
 wine in the presses ; I have made the 
 
 11 vintage shout to cease. Wherefore 
 my bowels sound like an harp for 
 Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir- 
 
 12 heres. And it shall come to pass, 
 when Moab presenteth himself, when 
 he wearieth himself upon the high 
 place, and shall come to his sanctuary 
 to pray, that he shall not prevail. 
 
 13 This is the word that the Lord 
 spake concerning Moab in time past. 
 
 14 But now the Lord hath spoken, say- 
 ing, Within three years, as the years 
 of an hireling, and the glory of Moab 
 
 shall be brought into contempt, with 
 all his great multitude ; and the remnant 
 shall be very small and of no account. 
 
 17 The 10 burden of Damascus. 
 
 Behold, Damascus is taken away 
 from being a city, and it shall be a 
 
 2 ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are 
 forsaken: they shall be for flocks, 
 which shall lie down, and none shall 
 
 3 make them afraid. The fortress also 
 shall cease from Ephraim, and the 
 kingdom 11 from Damascus, and the 
 remnant of Syria ; they shall be as the 
 glory of the children of Israel, saith 
 the Lord of hosts. 
 
 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that the glory of Jacob shall be made 
 thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall 
 
 5 wax lean. And it shall be as when 
 the harvestman gatheretli the standing 
 corn, and his arm reapeth the ears; 
 yea, it shall- be as when one gleaneth 
 
 6 ears in the valley of Kephaim. Yet 
 there shall be left therein gleanings, 
 as the 12 shaking of an olive tree, two 
 or three berries in the top of the up- 
 permost bough, four or five in the out- 
 most branches of a fruitful tree, saith 
 
 7 the Lord, the God of Israel. In that 
 day shall a man look unto his Maker, 
 and his eyes shall have respect to the 
 
 8 Holy One of Israel. And he shall not 
 look to the altars, the work of his 
 hands, neither shall he have respect 
 to that which his fingers have made, 
 either the 13 Asherim, or the sun- 
 
 9 images. In that day shall his strong 
 cities be as the forsaken places 14 in 
 the wood and on the mountain top, 
 which were forsaken from before the 
 children of Israel: and it shall be a 
 
 10 desolation. For thou hast forgotten 
 the God of thy salvation, and hast not 
 been mindful of the rock of thy 
 15 strength; therefore thou plantest 
 1G pleasant plants, and settest it with 
 
 11 17 strange slips: in the day of thy 
 planting thou liedgest it in, and in 
 the morning thou makest thy seed to 
 blossom : but the harvest 18 fleetli away 
 in the day of grief and of desperate 
 sorrow. 
 
 12 Ah, the 19 uproar of many peoples, 
 which roar like the roaring of the seas ; 
 and the rushing of nations, that rush 
 
 13 like the rushing of mighty waters ! The 
 nations shall rush like the rushing 
 of many waters: but he shall rebuke 
 20 them, and 21 they shall flee far off, 
 and shall be chased as the chaff of the 
 mountains before the wind, and like 
 
 14 the whirling dust before the storm. At 
 eventide behold terror ; and before the 
 morning 22 they are not. This is the 
 l)ortion of them that spoil us, and the 
 lot of them that rob us.

 thus hath the Lord said unto me, I

 sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the 
 
 5 heat of harvest. For afore the har- 
 vest, when the blossom is over, and the 
 ilower becometli a ripening grape, he 
 shall cut off the sprigs with pruning- 
 liooks, and the spreading branches 
 
 6 shall he take away and cut down. They 
 shall be left together unto the ravenous 
 birds of the mountains, and to the 
 beasts of the earth : and the ravenous 
 birds shall summer upon them, and all 
 the beasts of the earth shall winter 
 
 7 upon them. In that time shall a pre- 
 sent be brought unto the Lord of hosts 
 of a people 7 tall and smooth, and from 
 a people terrible from their beginning 
 onward ; a nation that meteth out and 
 treadeth down, whose land the rivers 
 divide, to the place of the name of the 
 Lord of hosts, the mount Zion. 
 
 19 The 8 burden of Egypt. 
 
 Behold, the Lord ridetli upon a swift 
 cloud, and cometh unto Egypt: and 
 the idols of Egypt shall be moved at 
 his presence, and the heart of Egypt 
 
 2 shall melt in the midst of it. And I 
 will 9 stir up the Egyptians against 
 the Egyptians: and they shall fight 
 every one against his brother, and 
 every one against his neighbour; city 
 against city, and kingdom against 
 
 3 kingdom. And the spirit of Egypt 
 shall be made void in the midst of it ; 
 and I will 10 destroy the counsel there- 
 of : and they shall seek unto the idols, 
 and to the 11 charmers, and to them 
 that have familiar spirits, and to the 
 
 4 wizards. And I will 12 give over the 
 Egyptians into the hand of a cruel 
 lord; and a fierce king shall rule 
 over them, saitli the Lord, the Lord 
 
 oof hosts. And the waters shall fail 
 from the sea, and the river shall be 
 
 6 wasted and become dry. And the rivers 
 shall stink; the 13 streams of 14 Egypt 
 shall be minished and dried up: the 
 
 7 reeds and flags shall wither away. The 
 meadows by the Nile, by the brink of 
 the Nile, and all that is sown by the 
 Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, 
 
 8 and be no more. The fishers also shall 
 lament, and all they that cast angle 
 into the Nile shall mourn, and they 
 
 that spread nets upon the waters shall ! 
 
 9 languish. Moreover they that work j 
 in combed flax, and they that weave 
 
 10 15 white cloth, shall be ashamed. And 
 her 16 pillars shall be broken in pieces, 
 all they 17 that work for hire shall he 
 
 11 grieved in soul. The princes of Zoan 
 are utterly foolish ; the counsel of the 
 wisest counsellors of Pharaoh is be- 
 come brutish: how say ye unto Pha- 
 raoh, I am the son of the wise, the 
 
 12 son of ancient kings ? Where then are 
 thy wise men ? and let them tell thee 
 now; and let them know what the 
 Lord of hosts hath purposed con- 
 
 13 cerning Egypt. The princes of Zoan 
 are become fools, the princes of 18 Noph 
 are deceived ; they have caused Egypt 
 to go astray, that are the corner 
 
 14 stone of her tribes. The Lord hath 
 mingled a spirit of perverseness in the 
 midst of her: and they have caused 
 Egypt to go astray in every work 
 thereof, as a drunken man 19 stagger- 
 
 15 eth in his vomit. Neither shall there 
 be for Egypt any work, which head or 
 tail, palm-branch or rush, may do. 
 
 16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto 
 women : and it shall tremble and fear 
 because of the shaking of the hand of 
 the Lord of hosts, which he shaketli 
 
 17 over it. And the land of Judah shall 
 become a terror unto Egypt, 20 every 
 one to whom mention is made thereof 
 shall be afraid, because of the purpose 
 of the Lord of hosts, which he pur- 
 poseth against it. 
 
 18 In that day there shall be five cities 
 in the land of Egypt that speak the 
 language of Canaan, and swear to the 
 Lord of hosts; one shall be called 
 The city of 21 destruction. 
 
 19 In that day shall there be an altar 
 to the Lord in the midst of the land 
 of Egypt, and a pillar at the border 
 
 20 thereof to the Lord. And it shall be 
 for a sign and for a witness unto the 
 Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt : 
 for they shall cry unto the Lord be- 
 cause of the oppressors, and he shall 
 send them a saviour, and 22 a defender, 
 
 21 and he shall deliver them. And the 
 Lord shall 23 be known to Egypt, and 
 the Egyptians shall know the Lord 
 in that day; yea, they shall worship 
 with sacrifice and oblation, and shall 
 vow a vow unto the Lord, and shall 
 
 22 perform it. And the Lord shall smite 
 Egypt, smiting and healing ; and they 
 shall return unto the Lord, and he 
 shall be intreated of them, and shall 
 heal them. 
 
 23 In that day shall there be a high 
 way out of Egypt to Assyria, and the 
 Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and 
 the Egyptian into Assyria; and the 
 Egyptians shall worship with the As- 
 syrians. 
 
 24 In that day shall Israel be the

 20 In the year that 1 Tartan came un- 
 to Aslidod, when Sargon the king of 
 Assyria sent him, and he fought against 
 
 2 Ashdod and took it ; at that time the 
 Lord spake by Isaiah the son of Amoz, 
 saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth 
 from off thy loins, and put thy shoe 
 from off thy foot. And he did so, walk- 
 
 3 ing naked and barefoot. And the Lord 
 said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath 
 walked naked and barefoot 2 three 
 years for a sign and a wonder upon 
 
 4 Egypt and upon 3 Ethiopia; so shall 
 the king of Assyria lead away the 
 captives of Egypt, and the exiles of 
 Ethiopia, young and old, naked and 
 barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, 
 
 5 to the shame of Egypt. And they 
 shall be dismayed and ashamed, be- 
 cause of Ethiopia their expectation, 
 
 6 and of Egypt their glory. And the 
 inhabitant of this coastland shall say 
 in that day, Behold, such is our ex- 
 pectation, whither we fled for help to 
 be delivered from the king of Assyria : 
 and we, how shall we escape ? 
 
 21 The 4 burden of the wilderness of the 
 sea. 
 
 As whirlwinds in the South sweep 
 through, it cometh from the wilder - 
 
 2 ness, from a terrible land. A 5 grievous 
 vision is declared unto me ; the treach- 
 erous dealer dealeth treacherously, 
 and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, 0 
 Elam ; besiege, 0 Media ; all the sigh- 
 ing thereof 6 have I made to cease. 
 
 3 Therefore are my loins filled with an- 
 guish; pangs have taken hold upon 
 me, as the jmngs of a woman in tra- 
 vail: I am 7 pained so that I cannot 
 hear ; I am dismayed so that I cannot 
 
 4 see. My heart 8 panteth, horror hath 
 affrighted me : the twilight that I de- 
 sired hath been turned into trembling 
 
 5 unto me. They prepare the table, they 
 <J set the watch, they eat, they drink : 
 rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield. 
 
 6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, 
 Go, set a watchman; let him declare 
 
 7 what he seetli: 10 and when he seetli 
 11 a troop, 12 horsemen in pairs, 11 a 
 troop of asses, 11 a troop of camels, he 
 shall hearken diligently with much 
 
 8 heed. And he cried as a lion : 0 Lord, 
 I stand continually upon the watch- 
 tower in the day-time, and am set in 
 
 9 my ward 13 whole nights: and, behold, 
 here 14 cometh a troop of men, 12 horse- 
 men in pairs. And he answered and 
 said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and 
 all the graven images of her gods are 
 
 10 broken unto the ground. O thou my 
 
 threshing, and the 15 corn of my floor : 
 that which I have heard from the 
 Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have 
 I declared unto you.

 13 The 19 burden upon Arabia. 
 
 In the 20 forest 21 in Arabia shall ye

 14danites. Unto him that 22 was thirsty 
 they brought water ; 23 the inhabitants 
 of the land of Tema did meet the 
 
 15 fugitives with their bread. For they 
 fled away from the swords, from the 
 drawn sword, and from the bent bow, 
 and from the grievousness of war. 
 
 16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, 
 Within a year, according to the years 
 of an hireling, and all the glory of 
 
 17Kedar shall fail' and the residue of 
 the number of the archers, the mighty 
 men of the children of Kedar, shall be 
 few: for the Lord, the God of Israel, 
 hath spoken it.

 What ailetli thee now, that thou art 
 
 2 wholly gone up to the housetops ? 0 
 thou that art full of shoutings, a 
 tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy 
 slain are not slain with the sword, 
 
 3 neither are they dead in battle. All 
 thy rulers fled away together, they 
 were bound 24 by the archers: all that 
 were found of thee were bound to- 
 
 4 getlier, 25 they fled afar off. Therefore 
 said I, Look away from me, I will weep 
 bitterly; 26 labour not to comfort me, 
 for the spoiling of the daughter of my 
 
 5 people. For it is a day of discomfiture, 
 and of treading down, and of perplex- 
 ity, from the Lord, the Lord of hosts, 
 in the valley of vision ; a breaking down 
 of the walls, and a crying to the 27 mount- 
 
 6 ains. And Elam bare the quiver, with 
 28 chariots of men and horsemen ; and 
 
 7 Kir uncovered the shield. And it came 
 to pass, that thy choicest valleys were 
 full of chariots, and the horsemen set 
 
 8 themselves in array at the gate. And he 
 took away the covering of Judah ; and 
 thou didst look in that day to the armour 
 
 9 in the house of the forest. And ye saw 
 the breaches of the city of David, that 
 they were many: and ye gathered to- 
 gether the waters of the lower pool. 
 
 10 And ye numbered the houses of Jeru-

 12 ago. And in that day did the Lord, the 
 Lord of hosts, call to weeping, and to 
 mourning, and to baldness, and to gird- 
 
 13 ing with sackcloth: and behold, joy 
 and. gladness, slaying oxen and killing 
 sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine : 
 let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we 
 
 14 shall die. And the Lord of hosts re- 
 vealed himself in mine ears, Surely this 
 iniquity shall not be 1 purged from you 
 till ye die, saith the Lord, the Lord of 
 hosts. 
 
 15 Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of 
 hosts, Go, get thee unto this 2 treasur- 
 er, even unto Sliebna, which is over 
 
 16 the house, and say , What doest thou 
 here? and whom hast thou here, that 
 thou hast hewed thee out here a sepul- 
 chre? hewing him out a sepulchre on 
 high, graving an habitation for liim- 
 
 17 self in the rock! Behold, the Lord 
 will hurl thee away violently 3 as a 
 strong man; yea, he will 4 wrap thee 
 
 18 up closely. He will surely 5 turn and 
 toss thee like a ball into a large coun- 
 try; there slialt thou die, and there 
 shall be the chariots of thy glory, 
 
 19 thou shame of thy lord’s house. And 
 I will thrust thee from thine office, 
 and from thy station shall he pull thee 
 
 20 down. And it shall come to pass in 
 that day, that I will call my servant 
 
 21 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah : and I will 
 clothe him with thy robe, and strength- 
 en him with thy girdle, and I will com- 
 mit thy government into his hand: 
 and he shall be a father to the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem, and to the 
 
 22 house of Judah. And the key of the 
 house of David will I lay upon his 
 shoulder ; and he shall open, and none 
 shall shut ; and he shall shut, and none 
 
 23 shall open. And I will fasten him as a 
 nail in a sure place ; and he shall be for 
 a throne of glory to his father’s house. 
 
 24 And they shall hang upon him all the 
 glory of liis father’s house, the offspring 
 and the issue, every small vessel, from 
 the vessels of cups even to all the ves- 
 
 25 sels of flagons. In that day, saith the 
 Lord of hosts, shall the nail that was 
 fastened in a sure place give way ; and 
 it shall be hewn down, and fall, and 
 the burden that was upon it shall be cut 
 off ; for the Lord hath spoken it. 
 
 23 The 6 burden of Tyre. 
 
 Howl, ye ships of Tarsliisli ; for it is 
 laid waste, so that there is no house, 
 no entering in : from the land of 
 2Kittim it is revealed to them. Be 
 still, ye inhabitants of the 7 isle ; thou 
 whom the merchants of Zidon, that 
 pass over the sea, have replenished. 
 3 And on great waters the seed of Shi- 
 lior, the harvest of the Nile, was her 
 revenue; and she was the mart of 
 4 nations. Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: 
 for the sea hath spoken, the strong hold 
 
 22. 11. 
 
 of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, 
 nor brought forth, neither have I 
 nourished young men, nor brought up 
 
 5 virgins. 8 When the report cometli to 
 Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at 
 
 6 the report of Tyre. Pass ye over to 
 Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the 
 
 7 7 isle. Is this your joyous city , whose 
 antiquity is 9 of ancient days, whose 
 feet carried her afar off to sojourn? 
 
 8 Who hath purposed this against Tyre, 
 10 the crowning city , whose merchants 
 are princes, whose traffickers are the 
 
 9 honourable of the earth? The Lord 
 of hosts hath purposed it, to 11 stain the 
 pride of all glory, to bring into con- 
 tempt all the honourable of the earth. 
 
 10 12 Pass through thy land as the Nile, 
 0 daughter of Tarshish; there is no 
 
 11 girdle about thee any more. He hath 
 stretched out his hand over the sea, he 
 hath shaken the kingdoms: the Lord 
 hath given commandment concerning 
 13 Canaan, to destroy the strong holds 
 
 12 thereof. And he said, Thou shalt no 
 more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin 
 daughter of Zidon : arise, pass over to 
 Iiittim ; even there shalt thou have no 
 
 13 rest. Behold, the land of the Chal- 
 deans; this people 14 is no more; the 
 Assyrian 15 hath appointed it for 16 the 
 beasts of the wilderness: they set up 
 17 their towers, they 18 overthrew the 
 palaces thereof ; he made it a ruin. 
 
 14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your 
 
 15 strong hold is laid waste. And it 
 shall come to pass in that day, that 
 Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, 
 according to the days of one king: 
 after the end of seventy years 19 it 
 shall be unto Tyre as in the song of 
 
 16 the harlot. Take an harp, go about 
 the city, thou harlot that hast been 
 forgotten; make sweet melody, sing 
 many songs, that thou mayest be re- 
 
 17 membered. And it shall come to pass 
 after the end of seventy years, that 
 the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall 
 return to her hire, and shall play the 
 harlot with all the kingdoms of the 
 
 18 world upon the face of the earth. And 
 her merchandise and her hire shall be 
 holiness to the Lord: it shall not be 
 treasured nor laid up; for her mer- 
 chandise shall be for them that dwell 
 before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, 
 and for 20 durable clothing. 
 
 24 Behold, the Lord maketli the 21 earth 
 empty, and maketh it waste, and turn- 
 etli it upside down, and scatteretli 
 
 2 abroad the inhabitants thereof. And 
 it shall be, as with the people, so with 
 the priest; as with the servant, so 
 with his master ; as with the maid, so 
 with her mistress ; as with the buyer, 
 so with the seller ; as with the lender, 
 so with the borrower; as with the

 earth mourneth and fadeth away, the 
 world languishetli and fadeth away, 
 1 the lofty peojile of the earth do lan- 
 
 5 guish. The earth also is polluted under 
 the inhabitants thereof ; because they 
 have transgressed the laws, changed 
 the ordinance, broken the everlasting 
 
 6 covenant. Therefore hath the curse 
 devoured the earth, and they that 
 dwell therein are found guilty : there- 
 fore the inhabitants of the earth are 
 
 7 burned, and few men left. The new 
 wine mourneth, the vine languishetli, 
 
 Sail the merryhearted do sigh. The 
 mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of 
 them that rejoice endetli, the joy of 
 
 9 the harp ceaseth. They shall not drink 
 wine with a song; strong drink shall 
 
 10 be bitter to them that drink it. The 
 city of 2 confusion is broken down: 
 every house is shut up, that no man 
 
 11 may come in. There is a crying in the 
 streets because of the wine ; all joy is 
 darkened, the mirth of the land is 
 
 T2 3 gone. In the city is left desolation, 
 and the gate is smitten with destruc- 
 
 13tion. Lor thus shall it be in the 
 midst of the earth among the peoples, 
 as the 4 shaking of an olive tree, as 
 the grape gleanings when the vint- 
 
 14 age is done. These shall lift up 
 their voice, they shall shout; for the 
 majesty of the Lord they cry aloud 
 
 15 from the sea. Wherefore, glorify ye 
 the Lord in the 5 east, even the name 
 of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the 
 6 isles of the sea. 
 
 16 From the uttermost part of the earth 
 have we heard songs, glory to the 
 righteous. But I said, 7 1 pine away, 
 I pine away, woe is me ! the treacher- 
 ous dealers have dealt treacherously; 
 yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt 
 
 17 very treacherously. Fear, and the pit, 
 and the snare, are upon thee, 0 in- 
 
 18 habitant of the earth. And it shall 
 come to pass, that he who fleeth from 
 the noise of the fear shall fall into 
 the pit ; and he that cometh up out 
 of the midst of the pit shall be taken in 
 the snare : for the windows on high are 
 opened, and the foundations of the 
 
 19 earth do shake. The earth is utterly 
 broken, the earth is clean dissolved, 
 
 20 the earth is moved exceedingly. The 
 earth shall stagger like a drunken man, 
 and shall be moved to and fro like a 
 hut; and the transgression thereof 
 shall be heavy upon it, and it shall 
 fall, and not rise again. 
 
 21 And it shall come to pass in that 
 day, that the Lord shall 8 punish the 
 host of the 9 high ones on high, and 
 the kings of the earth upon the earth. 
 
 22 And they shall be gathered together, 
 as prisoners are gathered in the 10 pit, 
 
 and shall be shut up in the prison, and 
 after many days shall they be 11 visited. 
 
 23 Then the moon shall be confounded, 
 and the sun ashamed ; for the Lord of 
 hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in 
 Jerusalem, and 12 before his 13 ancients 
 gloriously. 
 
 25 O Lord, thou art my God; I will 
 exalt thee, I will praise thy name; 
 for thou hast done wonderful things, 
 even counsels of old, in faithfulness 
 
 2 and truth. For thou hast made of a 
 city an heap ; of a defenced city a ruin : 
 a palace of strangers to be no city ; it 
 
 3 shall never be built. Therefore shall 
 the strong people glorify thee, the city 
 of the terrible nations shall fear thee. 
 
 4 For thou hast been a strong hold to 
 the poor, a strong hold to the needy in 
 his distress, a refuge from the storm, a 
 shadow from the heat, when the blast 
 of the terrible ones is as a storm against 
 
 5 the wall. As the heat in a dry place 
 slialt thou bring down the noise of 
 strangers ; as the heat by the shadow 
 of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones 
 
 6 shall be brought low. And in this 
 momd ain shall the Lord of hosts make 
 unto an peoples a feast of fat things, a 
 feast of wines on the lees, of fat things 
 full of marrow, of wines on the lees 
 
 7 well refined. And he will 14 destroy in 
 this mountain the face of the covering 
 that is cast over all peoples, and the 
 
 8 veil that is spread over all nations. He 
 hath swallowed up death for ever ; and 
 the Lord God will wipe away tears from 
 off all faces ; and the reproach of his 
 people shall he take away from off all 
 the earth : for the Lord hath spoken it. 
 
 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, 
 this is our God; we have waited for 
 him, and he will save us: this is the 
 Lord; we have waited for him, we 
 will be glad and rejoice in his salva- 
 
 10 tion. For in this mountain shall the 
 hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall 
 be trodden down in his place, even as 
 straw is trodden down 15 in the water of 
 
 11 the dunghill. And he shall spread forth 
 his hands in the midst 16 thereof, as he 
 that swimmeth spreadeth forth his 
 hands to swim : 17 and he shall lay low 
 18 his pride 19 together with the craft of 
 
 12 18 his hands. And the fortress of the 
 high fort of thy walls 20 hath he brought 
 down, laid low, and brought to the 
 gromid, even to the dust. 
 
 26 In that day shall this song be sung 
 in the land of Judah : We have a strong 
 city ; salvation will he appoint for walls 
 
 2 and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that 
 the righteous nation which keepetli 
 
 3 truth may enter in. 21 Thou wilt keep 
 him 22 in perfect peace, whose 23 mind 
 is stayed on thee : because he trustetli

 brought down them that dwell on high, 
 the lofty city : he layetli it low, he layeth 
 it low even to the ground ; he bringetli 
 
 6 it even to the dust. The foot shall 
 tread it down; even the feet of the 
 
 7 poor, and the steps of the needy. The 
 way of the just is 1 uprightness : thou 
 that art upright dost 2 direct the path of 
 
 8 the just. Yea, in the way of thy judge- 
 ments, 0 Lord, have we waited for 
 thee ; to thy name and to thy memorial 
 
 9 is the desire of our soul. With my soul 
 have I desired thee in the night; yea, 
 with my spirit within me will I seek 
 thee 3 early : for when thy judgements 
 are in the earth, the inhabitants of the 
 
 10 world learn righteousness. Let favour 
 be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not 
 learn righteousness ; in the land of up- 
 rightness will he deal wrongfully, and 
 will not behold the majesty of the Lord. 
 
 11 Lord, thy hand is lifted up, yet they 
 see not: but they shall see 4 thy zeal 
 for the people, and be ashamed; yea, 
 5 fire shall devour thine adversaries. 
 
 12 Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us : 
 for thou hast also wrought all our 
 
 13 works for us. O Lord our Grod, other 
 lords beside thee have had dominion 
 over us ; but by thee only will we make 
 
 14 mention of thy name. 6 They are dead, 
 they shall not live; they are 7 deceased, 
 they shall not rise : therefore hast thou 
 visited and destroyed them, and made 
 
 15 all their memory to perish. Thou hast 
 increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast 
 increased the nation; thou art glori- 
 fied: 8 thou hast enlarged all the bor- 
 ders of the land. 
 
 16 Lord, in trouble have they 9 visited 
 tliee, they poured out a 10 prayer when 
 
 17 thy chastening was upon them. Like 
 as a woman with child, that drawetli 
 near the time of her delivery, is in 
 pain and crietli out in her pangs ; so 
 have we been 11 before thee, 0 Lord. 
 
 18 We have been with child, we have been 
 in pain, we have as it were brought 
 forth wind ; we have not wrought any 
 deliverance in the earth ; 12 neither have 
 the inhabitants of the world fallen. 
 
 19 Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies 
 shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that 
 dwell in the dust: for thy dew is an 
 the dew of 13 herbs, and the earth shall 
 cast forth 14 the dead. 
 
 20 Come, my people, enter thou into 
 thy chambers, and shut thy doors 
 about thee: hide thyself for a little 
 moment, until the indignation be over- 
 
 21 past. For, behold, the Lord cometh 
 forth out of his place to punish the in- 
 habitants of the earth for their iniquity : 
 the earth also shall disclose her blood, 
 and shall no more cover her slain. 
 
 27 In that day the Lord with his sore 
 and great and strong sword shall pun- 
 ish leviathan the 15 swift serpent, and 
 leviathan the 16 crooked serpent; and 
 
 he shall slay the dragon that is in 
 the sea. 
 
 2 In that day : 17 A vineyard of wine, sing 
 
 3 ye 18 unto it. I the Lord do keep it ; I 
 will water it every moment . lest any 
 hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 
 
 4 Fury is not in me: would that the 
 briers and thorns were against me in 
 battle! I would march upon them, I 
 
 5 would burn them together. Or else let 
 him take hold of my strength, that he 
 may make peace with me ; yea, let him 
 
 6 make peace with me. 19 In days to 
 come shall Jacob take root; Israel 
 shall blossom and bud : and they shall 
 fill the face of the world with fruit. 
 
 7 Hath he smitten him as he smote 
 those that smote him? or is he slain 
 according to the slaughter 20 of them 
 
 8 that were slain by him ? 21 In measure, 
 22 when thou sendest her away, thou 
 dost contend with her; he hath re- 
 moved her with his rough blast in the 
 
 9 day of the east wind. Therefore by this 
 shall the iniquity of Jacob be 23 purged, 
 and this is all the fruit 24 of taking 
 away his sin ; when he maketh all the 
 stones of the altar as chalkstones that 
 are beaten in sunder, so that the 25 Ash- 
 erim and the sun-images shall rise no 
 
 10 more . For the def enced city is solitary, 
 an habitation deserted and forsaken, 
 like the wilderness : there shall the calf 
 feed, and there shall he lie down, and 
 
 11 consume the branches thereof. When 
 the boughs thereof are withered, they 
 shall be broken off; the women shall 
 come, and set them on fire: for it is a 
 people of no understanding ; therefore 
 lie that made them will not have com- 
 passion upon them, and he that formed 
 them will shew them no favour. 
 
 12 And it shall come to pass in that 
 day, that the Lord shall 26 beat off his 
 fruit, from the flood of the Kiver unto 
 the brook of Egypt, and ye shall be 
 27 gathered 28 one by one, 0 ye children 
 of Israel. 
 
 13 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that a great trumpet shall be blown; 
 and they shall come which were 29 ready 
 to perish in the land of Assyria, and 
 they that were outcasts in the land of 
 Egypt ; and they shall worship the Lord 
 in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

 6 unto the residue of his people : and for 
 a spirit of judgement to him that sitteth 
 in judgement, and for strength to them 
 that turn back the battle 4 at the gate. 
 
 7 But these also 2 have erred through 
 wine, and through strong drink 3 are 
 gone astray ; the priest and the prophet 
 2 have erred through strong drink, they 
 are swallowed up of wine, they are 
 gone astray through strong drink ; they 
 2 err in vision, they stumble in judge- 
 
 8 ment. For all tables are full of vomit 
 and filthiness, so that there is no place 
 
 0 clean. 4 Whom will he teach know- 
 ledge? and whom will he make to 
 understand the 5 message? them that 
 are weaned from the milk, and drawn 
 
 10 from the breasts? For it is precept 
 upon precept, precept upon precept; 
 6 line upon line, line upon line; here a 
 
 11 little, there a little. 7 Nay, but by men 
 of strange lips and with another tongue 
 
 12 will he speak to this people : to whom 
 he said, This is the rest, give ye rest 
 to him that is weary ; and this is the 
 refreshing: yet they would not hear. 
 
 13 Therefore shall the word of the Lord 
 be unto them precept upon precept, 
 precept upon precept; line upon line, 
 line upon line; here a little, there a 
 little ; that they may go, and fall back- 
 ward, and be broken, and snared, and 
 taken. 
 
 14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, 
 ye scornful men, that rule this people 
 
 15 which is in Jerusalem : Because ye have 
 said, We have made a covenant with 
 death, and with 8 hell are we at agree- 
 ment; when the overflowing scourge 
 shall pass through, it shall not come 
 unto us; for we have made lies our 
 refuge, and under falsehood have we 
 
 16 hid ourselves : therefore thus saitli the 
 Lord God, Behold, I 9 lay in Zion for 
 a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a 
 precious corner stone of sure founda- 
 tion : he that believeth shall not make 
 
 17 Jiaste. And I will make judgement the 
 line, and righteousness the plummet: 
 and the hail shall sweep away the 
 refuge of lies, and the waters shall 
 
 18 overflow the hiding place. And your 
 covenant with death shall be disan- 
 nulled, and your agreement with 8 hell 
 shall not stand; when the overflow- 
 ing scourge shall pass through, then ye 
 
 19 shall be trodden down by it. As often 
 as it passeth through, it shall take you ; 
 for morning by morning shall it pass 
 through, by day and by night : and it 
 shall be nought but terror to under- 
 
 20 stand the 5 message. For the bed is 
 
 shorter than that a man can stretch 
 himself onit; and the covering narrower 
 than that he can wrap himself in it. 
 
 21 For the Lord shall rise up as in 10 mount 
 Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the 
 valley of Gibeon; that he may do his 
 work, his strange work, and bring to 
 
 22 pass his act, his strange act. Now t 
 therefore be ye not scorners, lest your 
 bands be made strong : for a consum- 
 mation, and that determined, have I 
 heard from the Lord, the Lord of 
 hosts, upon the whole 11 earth. 
 
 23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; 
 
 24 hearken, and hear my speech. Doth 
 the plowman plow continually to sow ? 
 doth he continually open and break the 
 
 25 clods of his ground? When he hath 
 made plain the face thereof, doth he not 
 cast abroad the 12 fitches, and scatter 
 the cummin, and put in the wheat in 
 rows and the barley in the appointed 
 place and the spelt in the border 
 
 26 thereof? 13 For his God doth instruct 
 
 27 him aright, and doth teach him. For 
 the fitches are not threshed with a 
 shall) threshing instrument, neither is 
 a cart wheel turned about upon the 
 cummin; but the fitches are beaten 
 out with a staff, and the cummin with 
 
 28 a rod. 14 Bread corn is ground ; for he 
 will not ever be threshing it: and 
 though the wheel of his cart and his 
 horses scatter it, he doth not grind it. 
 
 29 This also cometh forth from the Lord 
 of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, 
 and excellent in 15 wisdom. 
 
 29 16 Ho 17 Ariel, Ariel, the city where 
 David encamped ! add ye year to 
 
 2 year ; let the feasts come round : then 
 will I distress Ariel, and there shall 
 be mourning and lamentation: 18 and 
 
 3 she shall be unto me as Ariel. And 
 I will camp against thee round about, 
 and will lay siege against thee with a 
 fort, and I will raise siege works against 
 
 4 thee. And thou slialt be brought down, 
 and slialt speak out of the ground, and 
 thy speech shall be low out of the dust ; 
 and thy voice shall be as of one that 
 hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, 
 and thy speech shall 19 whisper out of 
 
 5 the dust. But the multitude of thy 
 20 foes shall be like small dust, and the 
 multitude of the terrible ones as chaff 
 that passeth away : yea, it shall be at 
 
 6 an instant suddenly. 21 She shall be 
 visited of the Lord of hosts with 
 thunder, and with earthquake, and 
 great noise, with whirlwind and tem- 
 pest, and the flame of a devouring fire. 
 
 7 And the multitude of all the nations 
 that fight against Ariel, even all that 
 fight against her and her strong hold, 
 and that distress her, shall be as a 
 
 8 dream, a vision of the night. And 
 it shall be as when an hungry man 
 dreameth, and, behold, he eatetli ; but

 23 Thy tacklings are loosed ; they could 
 not strengthen the foot of their mast, 
 they could not spread the sail: then 
 was the prey of a great spoil divided ; 
 
 24 the lame took the prey. And the 
 inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: 
 the people that dwell therein shall be 
 forgiven their iniquity. 
 
 34 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and 
 hearken, ye peoples : let the earth hear, 
 and the fulness thereof; the world, 
 and all things that come forth of it. 
 
 2 For the Lord hath indignation against 
 all the nations, and fury against all 
 their host: he hath 1 utterly destroyed 
 them, he hath delivered them to the 
 
 3 slaughter. Their slain also shall be 
 cast out, and the stink of their carcases 
 shall come up, and the mountains shall 
 
 4 be melted with their blood. And all 
 the host of heaven shall 2 be dissolved, 
 and the heavens shall be rolled to- 
 gether as a scroll: and all their host 
 shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from 
 off the vine, and as a fading leaf from 
 
 5 the fig tree. For my sword hath drunk 
 its fill in heaven : behold, it shall come 
 down upon Edom, and upon the people 
 
 6 of my 3 curse, to judgement. The sword 
 of the Lord is filled with blood, it is 
 made fat with fatness, with the blood 
 of lambs and goats, with the fat of the 
 kidneys of rams : for the Lord hath a 
 sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaugh- 
 
 7 ter in the land of Edom. And the wild- 
 oxen shall come down with them, and 
 the bullocks with the bulls ; and their 
 land shall be drunken with blood, and 
 
 8 their dust made fat with fatness. For 
 it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, 
 the year of recompence in the con- 
 
 9troversy of Zion. And the streams 
 thereof shall be turned into pitch, 
 and the dust thereof into brimstone, 
 and the land thereof shall become 
 
 10 burning pitch. It shall not be 
 quenched night nor day; the smoke 
 thereof shall go up for ever: from 
 generation to generation it shall lie 
 waste; none shall pass through it for 
 
 11 ever and ever. But the pelican and 
 the porcupine shall possess it ; and the 
 4 owl and the raven shall dwell therein : 
 and he shall stretch over it the line of 
 confusion, and the 5 plummet of empti- 
 
 12 ness. 6 They shall call the nobles there- 
 of to the kingdom, but none shall be 
 there; and all her princes shall be 
 
 13 nothing. And thorns shall come up 
 in her palaces, nettles and thistles in 
 the fortresses thereof : and it shall be 
 an habitation of jackals, a court for 
 
 14 ostriches. And the wild beasts of the 
 desert shall meet with the 7 wolves, and 
 the 8 satyr shall cry to his fellow ; yea, 
 9 the night-monster shall settle there, 
 
 15 and shall find her a place of rest. There 
 shall the arrowsnake make her nest, 
 and lay, and hatch, and gather under 
 her shadow : yea, there shall the kites 
 be gathered, every one with her mate. 
 
 16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, 
 and read: no one of these shall be 
 missing, none shall want her mate: 
 for my mouth it hath commanded, and 
 
 17 his spirit it hath gathered them. And 
 he hath cast the lot for them, and his 
 hand hath divided it unto them by 
 line: they shall possess it for ever, 
 from generation to generation shall 
 they dwell therein. 
 
 35 The wilderness and the 10 solitary 
 place shall be glad; and the desert 
 shall rejoice, and blossom as the 11 rose. 
 
 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and re- 
 joice even with joy and singing; the 
 glory of Lebanon shall be given unto 
 it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon : 
 they shall see the glory of the Lord, 
 the excellency of our God. 
 
 3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and 
 
 4 confirm the 12 feeble knees. Say to them 
 that are of a 13 fearful heart, Be strong, 
 fear not : 14 behold, your God will come 
 with vengeance, with the recompence 
 of God; he will come and save you. 
 
 5 Then the eyes of the blind shah be 
 opened, and the ears of the deaf shall 
 
 6 be unstopped. Then shall the lame 
 man leap as an hart, and the tongue of 
 the dumb shall sing : for in the wilder- 
 ness shall waters break out, and streams 
 
 7 in the desert. And the 15 glowing sand 
 shall become a pool, and the thirsty 
 ground springs of water : in the habit- 
 ation of jackals, where they lay, shall 
 
 8 be 16 grass with reeds and rushes. And 
 an high way shall be there, and a way, 
 and it shall be called The way of holi- 
 ness; the unclean shall not pass over 
 it ; 17 but it shall be for those : the way- 
 faring men, yea fools, shall not err 
 
 9 in. No lion shall be there, nor shall any 
 ravenous beast go up thereon, they 
 shall not be fomid there; but the re- 
 
 10 deemed shall walk there : and the ran- 
 somed of the Lord shall return, and 
 come with singing unto Zion ; and ever- 
 lasting joy shall be upon their heads: 
 they shall obtain gladness and joy, and 
 sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

 I no power to deliver ? Behold, at my

 Zion: he hath comforted all her waste 
 places, and hath made her wilderness

 ing stream, which the breath of the 
 
 20 Lord drivetli. And a redeemer shall 
 come to Zion, and unto them that 
 turn from transgression in Jacob, saitli 
 
 21 the Lord. And as for me, this is my 
 covenant with them, saith the Lord : 
 my spirit that is upon thee, and my 
 words which I have put in thy mouth, 
 shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor 
 out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of 
 the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the 
 Lord, from henceforth and for ever. 
 
 60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, 
 and the glory of the Lord is risen 
 
 2 upon thee. For, behold, darkness shall 
 cover the earth, and gross darkness 
 the peoples: but the Lord shall arise 
 upon thee, and his glory shall be seen 
 
 3 upon thee. And nations shall come to 
 thy light, and kings to the brightness 
 
 4 of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round 
 about, and see : they all gather them- 
 selves together, they come to thee: 
 thy sons shall come from far, and thy 
 daughters shall be 3 carried in the 
 
 5 arms. Then thou slialt see and 4 be 
 lightened, and thine heart shall tremble 
 and be enlarged; because the abund- 
 ance of the sea shall be turned unto 
 thee, the wealth of the nations shall 
 
 6 come unto thee. The multitude of 
 camels shall cover thee, the 5 drome- 
 daries of Midian and Epliali ; they all 
 shall come from Sheba: they shall 
 bring gold and frankincense, and shall 
 6 proclaim the praises of the Lord. 
 
 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gath- 
 ered together unto thee, the rams of 
 Nebaiotli shall minister unto thee: 
 they shall come up with acceptance on 
 mine altar, and I will 7 glorify 8 the 
 
 8 house of my glory. Who are these 
 that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to 
 
 9 their windows ? Surely the isles shall 
 wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish 
 first, to bring thy sons from far, their 
 silver and their gold with them, for the 
 name of the Lord thy God, and for the 
 Holy One of Israel, because he hath 
 
 10 9 glorified thee. And strangers shall 
 build up thy walls, and their kings shall 
 minister unto thee: for in my wrath 
 I smote thee, but in my favour have 
 
 11 1 had mercy on thee. Thy gates also 
 shall be open continually; they shall 
 not be shut day nor night ; that men 
 may bring unto thee the wealth of the 
 nations, and their kings led with them. 
 
 12 For that nation and kingdom that will 
 not serve thee shall perish ; yea, those 
 
 13 nations shall be utterly wasted. The 
 glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, 
 the fir tree, 10 the pine, and the box tree 
 together ; to beautify the place of my 
 sanctuary, and I will make the place 
 
 14 of my feet glorious. And the sons of 
 them that afflicted thee shall come 
 bending unto thee ; and all they that 
 despised thee shall bow themselves 
 down at the soles of thy feet; and 
 they shall call thee The city of the 
 Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of 
 
 15 Israel. Whereas thou hast been for- 
 saken and hated, so that no man 
 passed through thee, I will make thee 
 an eternal excellency, a joy of many 
 
 16 generations. Thou shalt also suck the 
 milk of the nations, and shalt suck the 
 breast of kings : and thou shalt know 
 that I the Lord am thy saviour, and 
 thy redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 
 
 17 For brass I will bring gold, and for 
 iron I will bring silver, and for wood 
 brass, and for stones iron : I will also 
 make thy officers peace, and 11 thine 
 
 18 exactors righteousness. Violence shall 
 no more be heard in thy land, desol- 
 ation nor destruction within thy bor- 
 ders; but thou shalt call thy walls 
 
 19 Salvation, and thy gates Praise. The 
 sun shall be no more thy light by day ; 
 neither for brightness shall the moon 
 give light unto thee: but the Lord 
 shall be unto thee an everlasting light, 
 
 20 and thy God thy 12 glory. Thy sun 
 shall no more go down, neither shall 
 thy moon withdraw itself: for the 
 Lord shall be thine everlasting light, 
 and the days of thy mourning shall be 
 
 21 ended. Thy people also shall be all 
 righteous, they shall inherit the land 
 for ever ; the branch of my planting, 
 the work of my hands, that I may be 
 
 22 glorified. The little one shall become 
 a thousand, and the small one a strong 
 nation : I the Lord will hasten it in its 
 time. 
 
 61 The spirit of the Lord God is upon 
 me; because the Lord hath anointed 
 me to preach good tidings unto the 
 13 meek; he hath sent me to bind up 
 the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty 
 to the captives, and 14 the opening of 
 2 the prison to them that are bound ; to 
 proclaim 15 the acceptable year of the 
 Lord, and the day of vengeance of our 
 3 God; to comfort all that mourn; to 
 appoint unto them that mourn in 
 Zion, to give unto them a garland for 
 ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the 
 garment of praise for the spirit of 
 heaviness; that they might be called 
 trees of righteousness, the planting 
 of the Lord, that he might be glori- 
 4fied. And they shall build the old 
 wastes, they shall raise up the former 
 desolations, and they shall repair the 
 waste cities, the desolations of many 
 
 5 generations. And strangers shall stand 
 and feed your flocks, and aliens shall 
 be your plowmen and your vinedress- 
 
 6 ers. But ye shall be named the priests 
 of the Lord: men shall call you the

 10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

 God will cause righteousness and praise 
 to spring forth before all the nations. 
 
 62 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my

 not rest, until her righteousness go

 called by a new name, which the mouth

 also be a crowm of beauty in the hand 
 of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the

 be termed Forsaken ; neither shall thy 
 land any more be termed Desolate: 
 but thou shalt be called 4 Hephzi-bah, 
 and thy land 5 Beulah: for the Lord 
 delighteth in thee, and thy land shall 
 
 5 be married. For as a young man 
 marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons 
 marry thee: and 6 as the bridegroom 
 rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy 
 God rejoice over thee. 
 
 6 I have set watchmen upon thy 
 walls, 0 Jerusalem ; they shall never 
 hold their peace day nor night: ye 
 that are the Lord’s remembrancers, 
 
 7 7 take ye no rest, and give him no 
 8 rest, till he establish, and till he 
 make Jerusalem a praise in the 
 
 8 earth. The Lord hath sworn by his 
 right hand, and by the arm of his 
 strength, Surely I will no more give 
 thy corn to be meat for thine ene- 
 mies; and strangers shall not drink 
 thy 9 wine, for the which thou hast 
 
 9 laboured : but they that have garnered 
 it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; 
 and they that have gathered it shall 
 drink it in the courts of my sanctuary. 
 
 10 Go through, go through the gates; 
 
 prepare ye the way of the people ; 
 cast up, cast up the high way ; gather 
 out the stones; lift up an ensign 10 for 
 
 lithe peoples. Behold, the Lord hath 
 proclaimed unto the end of the earth, 
 Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Be- 
 hold, thy salvation cometli ; behold, his 
 reward is with him, and his 11 recom- 
 
 12 pence before him. And they shall call 
 them The holy people, The redeemed 
 of the Lord : and thou shalt be called 
 Sought out, A city not forsaken. 
 
 63 Who is this that cometh from Edom, 
 with 12 dyed garments from Bozrali? 
 this that is glorious in his apparel, 
 marching in the greatness of his 
 strength? I that speak in righteous- 
 
 2 ness, mighty to save. Wherefore art 
 thou red in thine apparel, and thy 
 garments like him that treadeth in 
 
 3 the winef at ? I have trodden the wine- 
 press alone ; and of the peoples there 
 was no man with me: yea, I 13 trod 
 them in mine anger, and trampled 
 them in my fury ; and their 14 lifeblood 
 15 is sprinkled upon my garments, and I 
 
 4 16 have stained all my raiment. For the 
 day of vengeance 17 was in mine heart, 
 and 18 the year of my redeemed is come. 
 
 5 And I looked, and there was none to 
 help ; and I wondered that there was 
 none to uphold: therefore mine own 
 arm brought salvation unto me; and 
 
 6 my fury, it upheld me. And 19 1 trod 
 down the peoples in mine anger, and 
 20 made them drunk in my fury, and 
 I 21 poured out their lifeblood on the 
 earth. 
 
 7 I will make mention of the loving- 
 kindnesses of the Lord, and the praises 
 of the Lord, according to all that the 
 Lord hath bestowed on us; and the 
 great goodness toward the house of 
 Israel, which he hath bestowed on 
 them according to his mercies, and 
 according to the multitude of his lov- 
 
 8 ingkindnesses. For he said, Surely, 
 they are my people, children that will 
 not deal falsely: so he was their 
 
 9 saviour. 22 In all their affliction he 
 was afflicted, and the angel of his 
 presence saved them : in his love and 
 in his pity he redeemed them ; and he 
 bare them, and carried them all the 
 
 10 days of old. But they rebelled, and 
 grieved his holy spirit: therefore he 
 was turned to be their enemy, and him- 
 
 11 self fought against them. 23 Then he re- 
 membered the days of old, Moses, and 
 his people, saying , Where is he that 
 brought them up out of the sea with the 
 24 shepherds of his flock? where is he 
 that put his holy spirit in the midst 
 
 12 of them? that caused his glorious arm 
 to go at the right hand of Moses? 
 that divided the water before them, 
 to make himself an everlasting name ? 
 
 13 that led them through the depths, as 
 an horse in the wilderness, that they

 1 The words of Jeremiah the son of 
 Hilkiali, of the priests that were in 
 
 2 Anatlioth in the land of Benjamin: to 
 whom the word of the Lord came in 
 the days of Josiali the son of Amon, 
 king of Judah, in the thirteenth year 
 
 3 of his reign. It came also in the days 
 of Jehoiakim the son of Josiali, king of 
 Judah, unto the end of the eleventh 
 year of Zedekiah the son of Josiali, 
 king of Judah ; unto the carrying away 
 of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. 
 
 4 Now the word of the Lord came un- 
 
 5 to me, saying, Before I formed thee in 
 the belly I knew thee, and before thou 
 earnest forth out of the womb I sancti- 
 fied thee ; I have appointed thee a pro- 
 
 6 phet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, 
 Lord God ! behold, I cannot speak : for 
 
 7 1 am a child. But the Lord said unto 
 me, Say not, I am a child: for Ho 
 whomsoever I shall send thee thou 
 slialt go, and whatsoever I shall com- 
 
 Smand thee thou shalt speak. Be not 
 afraid because of them : for I am with 
 thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 
 
 9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, 
 and touched my mouth ; and the Lord 
 said unto me, Behold, I have put my 
 
 lOwwds in thy mouth: see, I have this 
 day set thee over the nations and over 
 the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break 
 down, and to destroy and to overthrow; 
 to build, and to plant. 
 
 11 Moreover the word of the Lord 
 came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what 
 seest thou ? And I said, I see a rod of 
 
 12 2 an almond tree. Then said the Lord 
 unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I 
 3 watch over my word to perform it. 
 
 13 And the word of the Lord came unto 
 me the second time, saying, What seest 
 thou? And I said, I see a seething 
 caldron ; and the face thereof is from 
 
 14 the north. Then the Lord said unto 
 me, Out of the north evil 4 shall break 
 forth upon all the inhabitants of the 
 
 w 
 
 15 land. For, lo, I will call all the fami- 
 lies of the kingdoms of the north, saith 
 the Lord; and they shall come, and 
 they shall set every one his throne at 
 the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, 
 and against all the walls thereof round 
 about, and against all the cities of Ju- 
 
 16 dali. And I will 5 utter my judgements 
 against them touching all their wicked- 
 ness ; in that they have forsaken me, 
 and have burned incense unto other 
 gods, and worshipped the works of 
 
 17 their own hands. Thou therefore gird 
 up thy loins, and arise, and speak un- 
 to them all that I command thee: be 
 not dismayed at them, lest I dismay 
 
 18 thee before them. For, behold, I have 
 made thee this day a defenced city, 
 and an iron pillar, and brasen walls, 
 against the whole land, against the 
 kings of Judah, against the princes 
 thereof, against the priests thereof, 
 and against the people of the land. 
 
 19 And they shall fight against thee ; but 
 they shall not prevail against thee : for 
 I am with thee, saith the Lord, to de-

 13 the Lord. For from the least of 
 them even unto the greatest of them 
 every one is given to covetousness; 
 raid from the prophet even unto 
 the priest every one dealeth falsely. 
 
 14 They have healed also the 1 hurt of 
 2 my people lightly, saying, Peace, 
 
 15 peace ; when there is no peace. 3 Were 
 they ashamed when they had com- 
 mitted abomination? nay, they were 
 not at all ashamed, neither could they 
 blush : therefore they shall fall among 
 them that fall : at the time that I visit 
 them they shall 4 be cast dow T n, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in 
 the ways and see, and ask for the old 
 paths, where is the good way, and walk 
 therein, and ye shall find rest for your 
 souls: but they said, We will not walk 
 
 17 therein. And I set watchmen over 
 you, saying , Hearken to the sound of 
 the trumpet; but they said, We will 
 
 18 not hearken. Therefore hear, ye na- 
 tions, and know, 0 congregation, what 
 
 19 is among them. Hear, 0 earth: be- 
 hold, I will bring evil upon this people, 
 even the fruit of their thoughts, be- 
 cause they have not hearkened unto 
 my words; and as for my law, they 
 
 ‘20 have rejected it. To what purpose 
 cometh there to me frankincense from 
 Sheba, and the sweet 5 cane from 
 a far country? your burnt offerings 
 are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices 
 
 21 pleasing unto me. Therefore thus 
 saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay 
 stumblingblocks before this j>eople: 
 and the fathers and the sons together 
 shall stumble against them ; the neigh- 
 bour and his friend shall perish. 
 
 22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a peo- 
 ple cometh from the north country; 
 and a great nation shall be stirred up 
 from the uttermost parts of the earth. 
 
 23 They lay hold on bow and spear ; they 
 are cruel, and have no mercy; their 
 voice roareth like the sea, and they 
 ride upon horses; every one set in 
 array, as a man to the battle, against 
 
 24 thee, 0 daughter of Zion. We have 
 heard the fame thereof; our hands 
 wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold 
 of us, and pangs as of a woman in 
 
 25 travail. Go not forth into the field, 
 nor walk by the way ; for there is the 
 sword of the enemy, and terror on 
 
 26 every side. 0 daughter of my people, 
 gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow 
 thyself in ashes: make thee mourn- 
 ing, as for an only son, most bitter 
 lamentati on ; for the spoiler shall sud- 
 
 27 denly come upon us. I have made 
 thee a 6 tower and a fortress among my 
 people ; that thou mayest know and try 
 
 28 their way. They are all grievous re- 
 volters, going about with slanders ; they 
 are brass and iron: they all of them 
 
 29 deal corruptly. The bellows 7 blow 
 
 fiercely; the lead is consumed of the 
 fire: in vain do they go on refining; 
 for the wicked are not plucked away. 
 
 30 Refuse silver shall men call them, be- 
 cause the Lord hath rejected them. 
 
 7 The word that came to Jeremiah 
 
 2 from the Lord, saying, Stand in the 
 gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim 
 there this word, and say, Hear the 
 word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, 
 that enter in at these gates to worship 
 
 3 the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your 
 ways and your doings, and I will cause 
 
 4 you to dwell in this place. Trust ye 
 not in lying words, saying, The temple 
 of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, 
 the temple of the Lord, are 'these. 
 
 5 For if ye throughly amend your ways 
 and your doings ; if ye throughly 
 execute judgement between a man 
 
 6 and his neighbour; if ye oppress not 
 the stranger, the fatherless, and the 
 widow, and shed not innocent blood 
 in this place, neither walk after other 
 
 7 gods to your own hurt : then will I 
 cause you to dwell in this place, in the 
 land that I gave to your fathers, from 
 
 8 of old even for evermore. Behold, ye 
 trust in lying words, that cannot pro- 
 
 9 fit. Will ye steal, murder, and com- 
 mit adultery, and swear falsely, and 
 burn incense unto Baal, and walk after 
 other gods whom ye have not known, 
 
 10 and come and stand before me in this 
 house, 8 which is called by my name, 
 and say, We are delivered; that ye 
 
 11 may do all these abominations? Is 
 this house, which is called by my 
 name, become a den of robbers in your 
 eyes ? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, 
 
 12 saith the Lord. But go ye now unto 
 my place which was in Shiloh, where 
 I caused my name to dwell at the 
 first, and see what I did to it for the 
 
 13 wickedness of my people Israel. And 
 now, because ye have done all these 
 works, saith the Lord, and I spake 
 unto you, rising up early and speak- 
 ing, but ye heard not; and I called 
 
 14 you, but ye answered not: therefore 
 will I do unto the house, which is 
 called by my name, wherein ye trust, 
 and unto the place which I gave to 
 you and to your fathers, as I have 
 
 15 done to Shiloh. And I will cast you 
 out of my sight, as I have cast out all 
 your brethren, even the whole seed of 
 Ephraim. 
 
 16 Therefore pray not thou for this 
 people, neither lift up cry nor prayer 
 for them, neither make intercession to 
 
 17 me: for I will not hear thee. Seest 
 thou not what they do in the cities of 
 Judah and in the streets of Jerusa- 
 
 18!em? The children gather wood, and 
 the fathers kindle the fire, and the 
 women knead the dough, to make

 23 Thus saitli the Lord, Let not the 
 wise man glory in his wisdom, neither 
 let the mighty man glory in his might, 
 let not the rich man glory in his riches : 
 
 24 but let him that glorietli glory in this, 
 that he understandetli, and knowetli 
 me, that I am the Lord which exercise 
 lovingkindness, judgement, and right- 
 eousness, in the earth: for in these 
 
 25 things I delight, saitli the Lord. Be- 
 hold, the days come, saitli the Lord, 
 that I will punish all them which are 
 circumcised in their un circumcision ; 
 
 26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the 
 children of Ammon, and Moab, and all 
 that have the corners of their hair 
 polled, that dwell in the wilderness: 
 for all the nations are uncircumcised, 
 and all the house of Israel are uncir- 
 cumcised in heart. 
 
 10 Hear ye the word which the 
 Lord speaketh unto you, 0 house 
 
 2 of Israel : thus saitli the Lord, 
 Learn not the way of the nations, 
 and he not dismayed at the signs of 
 heaven ; for the nations are dismayed 
 
 3 at them. For the 1 customs of the 
 peoples are vanity: for 2 one cutteth a 
 tree out of the forest, the work of the 
 hands of the workman with the axe. 
 
 4 They deck it with silver and with gold ; 
 they fasten it with nails and with 
 
 5 hammers, that it move not. They are 
 like a 3 palm tree, of turned work, and 
 speak not : they must needs be borne, 
 because they cannot go. Be not a- 
 fraid of them; for they cannot do 
 evil, neither is it in them to do good. 
 
 6 There is none like unto tliee, 0 Lord ; 
 thou art great, and thy name is great 
 
 7 in might. Who would not fear thee, 
 0 King of the nations? for 4 to thee 
 doth it appertain: forasmuch as a- 
 mong all the wise men of the nations, 
 and in all their royal estate, there is 
 
 8 none like unto thee. But they are 
 5 together brutish and foolish: 6 the 
 instruction of idols, it is but a stock. 
 
 9 There is silver beaten into plates which 
 is brought from Tarsliisli, and gold 
 from 7 XJpliaz, the work of the artificer 
 and of the hands of the goldsmith; 
 blue and purple for their clothing; 
 they are all the work of cunning men. 
 
 10 But the Lord is 8 the true God; he is 
 the living God, and an everlasting 
 king: at his wrath the earth trem- 
 ble th, and the nations are not able 
 to abide his indignation. 
 
 11 9 Thus shall ye say unto them, The 
 gods that have not made the heavens 
 and the earth, 10 these shall perish from 
 the earth, and from under the heavens. 
 
 12 He hath made the earth by his 
 power, he hath established the world 
 by his wisdom, and by his under- 
 standing hath he stretched out the 
 
 13 heavens : 11 when he utteretli his voice, 
 there is a tumult of waters in the 
 heavens, and he causetli the vapours 
 to ascend from the ends of the earth ; 
 he maketli lightnings for the rain, and 
 bringeth forth the wind out of his 
 
 14 treasuries. Every man 12 is become 
 brutish and is without knowledge ; 
 every goldsmith is put to shame by 
 his graven image : for his molten 
 image is falsehood, and there is no 
 
 15 breath in them. They are vanity, a 
 work of 13 delusion: in the time of 
 
 16 their visitation they shall perish. The 
 portion of Jacob is not like these ; for 
 he is the former of all things ; and 
 Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: 
 the Lord of hosts is liisaiame. 
 
 1 7 Gather up 14 thy wares out of the land, 
 
 18 15 0 thou that abidest in the siege. For 
 
 thus saitli the Lord, Behold, I will 
 sling out the inhabitants of the land 
 at this time, and will distress them, 
 
 19 that they may 16 feel it. Woe is me for 
 my hurt ! my wound is grievous : but 
 I said, Truly this is my 17 grief, and I 
 
 20 must bear it. My tent is spoiled, and 
 all my cords are broken : my children 
 are gone forth of me, and they are not : 
 there is none to stretch forth my tent 
 any more, and to set up my curtains. 
 
 21 For the shepherds are become brutish, 
 and have not inquired of the Lord: 
 therefore they have not 18 prospered, 
 
 22 and all their flocks are scattered. The 
 voice of a rumour, behold it cometli, 
 and a great commotion out of the 
 north country, to make the cities of 
 Judah a desolation, a dwelling place 
 
 23 of jackals. O Lord, I know that the 
 way of man is not in himself: it is 
 not in man that walketli to direct his 
 
 24 steps. O Lord, correct me, but with 
 judgement; not in thine anger, lest 
 
 25 tliou 19 bring me to nothing. 20 Pour 
 out thy fury upon the heathen that 
 know thee not, and upon the families 
 that call not on thy name: for they 
 have devoured Jacob, yea, they have 
 devoured him and consumed him, and 
 have laid waste his 21 habitation.

 Or, they

 12 it to heart. Spoilers are come upon 
 all the bare heights in the wilderness : 
 for the sword of the Lord devoureth 
 from the one end of the land even to 
 the other end of the land: no flesh 
 
 13 hath peace. They have sown wheat, 
 and have reaped thorns; they have 
 put themselves to pain, and profit no- 
 thing: and 1 ye shall be ashamed of 
 your fruits, because of the fierce anger 
 of the Lord. 
 
 14 Thus saith the Lord against all mine 
 evil neighbours, that touch the inherit- 
 ance which I have caused my people 
 Israel to inherit : Behold, I will pluck 
 them up from off their land, and will 
 pluck up the house of Judah from a- 
 
 15 mong them. And it shall come to pass, 
 after that I have plucked them up, I will 
 return and have compassion on them ; 
 and I will bring them again, every man 
 to his heritage, and every man to his 
 
 16 land. And it shall come to pass, if 
 they will diligently learn the ways of 
 my people, to swear by my name, As 
 the Lord livetli ; even as they taught 
 my people to swear by Baal; then 
 shall they be built up in the midst of 
 
 17 my people. But if they will not hear, 
 then will I pluck up that nation, 
 plucking up and destroying it, saith 
 the Lord. 
 
 13 Thus said the Lord unto me, Go, 
 and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it 
 upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 
 
 2 So I bought a girdle according to the 
 word of the Lord, and put it upon my 
 
 3 loins. And the word of the Lord came 
 
 4 unto me the second time, saying, Take 
 the girdle that thou hast bought, which 
 is upon thy loins, and arise, go to 
 Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole 
 
 5 of the rock. So I went, and hid it by 
 Euphrates, as the Lord commanded 
 
 6 me. And it came to pass after many 
 days, that the Lord said unto me, 
 Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the 
 girdle from thence, which I command- 
 
 7 ed thee to hide there. Then I went to 
 Euphrates, and digged, and took the 
 girdle from the place where I had hid 
 it : and, behold, the girdle was marred, 
 
 Sit was profitable for nothing. Then 
 the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 
 9 saying, Thus saith the Lord, After this 
 manner will I mar the pride of Judah, 
 and the great pride of Jerusalem. 
 
 10 This evil people, which refuse to hear 
 my words, which walk in the stubborn- 
 ness of their heart, and are gone after 
 other gods to serve them, and to wor- 
 ship them, shall even be as this girdle, 
 
 11 which is profitable for nothing. For 
 as the girdle cleavetli to the loins of a 
 man, so have I caused to cleave unto 
 me the whole house of Israel and 
 the whole house of Judah, saith the 
 
 Lord ; that they might be unto me 
 for a people, and for a name, and for a 
 praise, and for a glory : but they would 
 
 12 not hear. Therefore thou shalt speak 
 unto them this word: Thus saith the 
 Lord, the God of Israel, Every 2 bottle 
 shall be filled with wine: and they 
 shall say unto thee, Bo we not know 
 that every 2 bottle shall be filled with 
 
 13 wine ? Then shalt thou say unto them, 
 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
 fill all the inhabitants of this land, 
 even the kings that sit 3 upon David’s 
 throne, and the priests, and the pro- 
 phets, and all the inhabitants of Jeru- 
 
 14 salem, with drunkenness. And I will 
 dash them one against another, even 
 the fathers and the sons together, saith 
 the Lord : I will not pity, nor spare, 
 nor have compassion, that I should 
 not destroy them. 
 
 15 Hear ye, and give ear ; be not proud: 
 
 16 for the Lord hath spoken. Give glory 
 to the Lord your God, before 4 he cause 
 darkness, and before your feet stumble 
 upon the 5 dark mountains ; and, while 
 ye look for light, he turn it into 6 the 
 shadow of death, and make it gross 
 
 17 darkness. But if ye will not hear it, 
 my soul shall weep in secret for your 
 pride ; and mine eye shall weep sore, 
 and run down with tears, because the 
 
 18 Lord’s flock is taken captive. Say thou 
 unto the king and to the queen-mother, 
 7 Humble yourselves, sit down: for 
 your lieadtires are come down, even 
 
 19 8 the crown of your glory. The cities 
 of the South are shut up, and there is 
 none to open them: Judah is carried 
 away captive all of it; it is wholly 
 carried away captive. 
 
 20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them 
 that come from the north: where is 
 the flock that was given thee, thy 
 
 21 beautiful flock ? 9 What wilt thou say, 
 when he shall set thy friends over thee 
 as head, seeing thou thyself hast in- 
 structed them against thee ? shall not 
 sorrows take hold of thee, as of a wo- 
 
 22 man in travail? And if thou say in 
 thine heart, Wherefore are these things 
 come upon me? for the 10 greatness 
 of thine iniquity are thy skirts dis- 
 covered, and thy heels suffer violence. 
 
 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or 
 the leopard his spots? then may ye 
 also do good, that are 11 accustomed to 
 
 24 do evil. Therefore will I scatter them, 
 as the stubble that passeth away, 12 by 
 
 25 the wind of the wilderness. This is 
 thy lot, the portion measured unto 
 thee from me, saith the Lord ; because 
 thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in 
 
 26 falsehood. Therefore will I also discover 
 thy skirts 13 upon thy face, and thy 
 
 27 shame shall appear. I have seen thine 
 abominations, even thine adulteries, 
 and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy 
 whoredom, on the hills in the field. Woe

 unto tliee, 0 Jerusalem! thou wilt not 
 be made clean ; how long shall it yet be ? 
 
 14 The word of the Lord that came to 
 Jeremiah concerning the drought. 
 
 2 Judah mourneth, and the gates there- 
 of languish, they sit in black upon the 
 ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is 
 
 3 gone up. And their nobles send their 
 1 little ones 2 to the waters: they come 
 to the pits, and find no water; they 
 return with their vessels empty : they 
 are ashamed and confounded, and 
 
 4 cover their heads. Because of the 
 ground which is 3 chapt, for that no 
 rain hath been in the land, the plow- 
 men are ashamed, they cover their 
 
 5 heads. Yea, the hind also in the field 
 calveth, and forsaketli Tier young , be- 
 
 6 cause there is no grass. And the wild 
 asses stand on the bare heights, they 
 pant for air like 4 jackals; their eyes 
 fail, because there is no herbage. 
 
 7 Though our iniquities testify against 
 us, work thou for thy name’s sake, 0 
 Lord : for our backslidings are many ; 
 
 8 we have sinned against thee. O thou 
 hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in 
 the time of trouble, why shouldest 
 thou be as a sojourner in the land, 
 and as a wayfaring man that 5 turneth 
 
 9 aside to tarry for a night? Why 
 shouldest thou be as a man astonied, 
 as a mighty man that cannot save? 
 yet thou, 0 Lord, art in the midst of 
 us, and we are called by thy name; 
 leave us not. 
 
 10 Thus saitli the Lord unto this peo- 
 ple, Even so have they loved to wan- 
 der; they have not refrained their 
 feet: therefore the Lord doth not 
 accept them; now will he remember 
 their iniquity, and visit their sins. 
 
 11 And the Lord said unto me, Pray not 
 
 12 for this people for their good. When 
 they fast, I will not hear their cry; 
 and when they offer burnt offering 
 and 6 oblation, I will not accept them : 
 but I will consume them by the sword, 
 and by the famine, and by the pest- 
 
 13 ilence. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! 
 behold, the prophets say unto them, 
 Ye shall not see the sword, neither 
 shall ye have famine ; but I will give 
 
 14 you 7 assured peace in this place . Then 
 the Lord said unto me, The prophets 
 prophesy lies in my name: I sent 
 them not, neither have I commanded 
 them, neither spake I unto them : they 
 prophesy unto you a lying vision, and 
 divination, and a thing of nought, and 
 
 15 the deceit of their own heart. There- 
 fore thus saith the Lord concerning 
 the prophets that prophesy in my 
 name, and I sent them not, yet they 
 say, Sword and famine shall not be in 
 this land : By sword and famine shall 
 
 16 those prophets be consumed. And the 
 people to whom they prophesy shall 
 
 be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem 
 because of the famine and the sword ; 
 and they shall have none to bury them, 
 them, their wives, nor their sons, nor 
 their daughters : for I will pour their 
 
 17 wickedness upon them. And thou sliait 
 say this word unto them, Let mine eyes 
 run down with tears night and day, and 
 let them not cease; for the virgin 
 daughter of my people is broken with 
 a great breach, with a very grievous 
 
 18 wound. If I go forth into the field, then 
 behold the slain with the sword ! and if 
 I enter into the city, then behold 8 them 
 that are sick with famine ! for both the 
 prophet and the priest 9 go about 10 in 
 the land and have no knowledge. 
 
 19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? 
 hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast 
 thou smitten us, and there is no heal- 
 ing for us? We looked for peace, but 
 no good came ; and for a time of lieal- 
 
 20 ing, and behold dismay ! We 11 acknow- 
 ledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the 
 iniquity of our fathers: for we have 
 
 21 sinned against thee. Do not 12 abhor 
 us , for thy name’s sake; do not dis- 
 grace the throne of thy glory : remem- 
 ber, break not thy covenant with us. 
 
 22 Are there any among the vanities of 
 the heathen that can cause rain? or 
 can the heavens give showers? art 
 not thou he, O Lord our God? there- 
 fore we will wait upon thee ; for thou 
 hast 13 made all these things. 
 
 15 Then said the Lord unto me, 
 Though Moses and Samuel stood be- 
 fore me, yet my mind could not be 
 toward this people : cast them out of 
 
 2 my sight, and let them go forth. And 
 it shall come to pass, when they say 
 unto thee, Whither shall we go forth ? 
 then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith 
 the Lord: Such as are for death, to 
 death ; and such as are for the sword, 
 to the sword ; and such as are for the 
 famine, to the famine; and such as 
 
 3 are for captivity, to captivity. And 
 I will appoint over them four 14 kinds, 
 saith the Lord: the sword to slay, 
 and the dogs to 15 tear, and the fowls 
 of the heaven, and the beasts of the 
 
 4 earth, to devour and to destroy. And 
 I will cause them to be tossed to and 
 fro among all the kingdoms of the 
 earth, because of Manasseh the son 
 of Hezekiali king of Judah, for that 
 
 5 which he did in Jerusalem. For who 
 shall have pity upon thee, 0 Jeru- 
 salem ? or who shall bemoan thee ? or 
 who shall turn aside to ask of thy 
 
 6 welfare? Thou hast rejected me, 
 saith the Lord, thou art gone back- 
 ward: therefore have I stretched out 
 my hand against thee, and destroyed 
 thee; I am weary with repenting. 
 
 7 And I have fanned them with a fan in 
 the gates of the land ; I have bereaved 
 them of children, I have destroyed my

 Verily 2 1 will 3 strengthen thee for

 and their carcases shall be meat for 
 the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts

 IB Tlie word which came to Jeremiah 
 
 2 from the Lord, saying, Arise, and go 
 down to the potter’s house, and there 
 I will cause thee to hear my words. 
 
 3 Then I went down to the potter’s 
 house, and, behold, he wrought his 
 
 4 work on the wheels. And when the 
 vessel that he made of the clay was 
 marred in the hand of the potter, 
 he made it again another vessel, as 
 seemed good to the potter to make it. 
 
 5 Then the word of the Lord came 
 
 6 to me, saying, O house of Israel, 
 cannot I do with you as this potter? 
 saitli the Lord. Behold, as the clay 
 in the potter’s hand, so are ye in 
 
 7 mine hand, 0 house of Israel. At 
 what instant I shall speak concern- 
 ing a nation, and concerning a king- 
 dom, to pluck up and to break down 
 
 8 and to destroy it ; if that nation, con- 
 cerning which I have spoken, turn 
 from their evil, I will repent of the 
 evil that I thought to do unto them. 
 
 9 And at what instant I shall speak con- 
 cerning a nation, and concerning a 
 
 10 kingdom, to build and to plant it ; if it 
 do evil in my sight, that it obey not 
 my voice, then I will repent of the 
 good, wherewith I said I would benefit 
 
 11 them. Now therefore go to, speak to 
 the men of Judah, and to the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus 
 saith the Lord : Behold, I frame evil 
 against you, and devise a device against 
 you: return ye now every one from 
 his evil way, and amend your ways 
 
 12 and your doings. But they say, There 
 is no hope : for we will walk after our 
 own devices, and we will do every one 
 after the stubbornness of his evil 
 heart. 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord : Ask 
 ye now among the nations, who hath 
 heard such things ; the virgin of Israel 
 
 14 hath done a very horrible thing. Shall 
 the snow of Lebanon fail from the 
 rock of the field? or shall the cold 
 waters 2 that flow down from afar be 
 
 15 3 dried up? For my people hath for- 
 gotten me, they have burned incense 
 to vanity ; and they have caused them 
 to stumble in their ways, in the ancient 
 paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way 
 
 I 
 
 557 
 
 16 not cast up; to make their land an 
 astonishment, and a perpetual hissing ; 
 every one that passetli thereby shall 
 
 17 be astonished, and shake his head. I 
 will scatter them as with an east wind 
 before the enemy; I will 4 look upon 
 their back, and not their face, in the 
 day of their calamity. 
 
 18 Then said they, Come, and let us 
 devise devices against Jeremiah; for 
 the law shall not perish from the priest, 
 nor counsel from the wise, nor the 
 word from the prophet. Come, and let 
 us smite him with the tongue, and let 
 us not give heed to any of his words. 
 
 19 Give heed to me, 0 Lord, and hearken 
 to the voice of them that contend with 
 
 20 me. Shall evil be recompensed for 
 good? for they have digged a pit for 
 my soul. Remember how I stood be- 
 fore thee to speak good for them, to 
 
 21 turn away thy fury from them. There- 
 fore deliver up their children to the 
 famine, and give them over to the 
 power of the sword; and let then- 
 wives become childless, and widows; 
 and let their men be slain of death, 
 and their young men smitten of the 
 
 22 sword in battle. Let a cry be heard 
 from their houses, when thou shalt bring 
 a troop suddenly upon them : for tlie}^ 
 have digged a pit to take me, and hid 
 
 23 snares for my feet. Yet, Lord, thou 
 knowest all their counsel against me 
 to slay me ; forgive not their iniquity, 
 neither blot out their sin from thy 
 sight: but let them be 5 overthrown 
 before thee; deal thou with them in 
 the time of thine anger.

 elders of the people, and of the elders 
 
 2 of the priests ; and go forth unto the 
 valley of the son of Hinnom, which is 
 by the entry of 6 the gate Harsith, and 
 proclaim there the words that I shall 
 
 3 tell thee : and say, Hear ye the word 
 of the Lord, 0 kings of Judah, and 
 inhabitants of Jerusalem; thus saith 
 the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
 Behold, I will bring evil upon this 
 place, the which whosoever hearetli,

 have built the high places of Baal, to 
 burn their sons in the fire for burnt 
 offerings unto Baal ; which I command-

 maketli war against us : peradventure 
 the Lord will deal with us according 
 to all his wondrous works, that he 
 may go up from us. 
 
 3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus 
 
 4 shall ye say to Zedekiah : Thus saith 
 the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, 
 I will turn back the weapons of war 
 that are in your hands, wherewith ye 
 fight against the king of Babylon, and 
 against the Chaldeans which besiege 
 you, without the walls, and I will gather 
 
 5 them into the midst of this city. And 
 I myself will fight against you with an 
 outstretched hand and with a strong 
 arm, even in anger, and in fury, and 
 
 6 in great wrath. And I will smite the 
 inhabitants of this city, both man and 
 beast: they shall die of a great pesti- 
 
 7 lence. And afterward, saith the Lord, 
 I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, 
 and his servants, and the people, even 
 such as are left in this city from the 
 pestilence, from the sword, and from 
 the famine, into the hand of Nebu- 
 chadrezzar king of Babylon, and into 
 the hand of their enemies, and into the 
 hand of those that seek their life : and 
 he shall smite them with the edge of 
 the sword; he shall not spare them, 
 neither have pity, nor have mercy. 
 
 8 And unto this people thou shalt say, 
 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I set 
 before you the way of life and the 
 
 9 way of death. He that abideth in this 
 city shall die' by the sword, and by the 
 famine, and by the pestilence : but he 
 that goeth out, and falleth away to the 
 Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall 
 live, and his life shall be unto him for 
 
 10 a prey. For I have set my face upon 
 this city for evil, and not for good, 
 saith the Lord : it shall be given into 
 the hand of the king of Babylon, and 
 he shall burn it with fire. 
 
 11 And touching the house of the king 
 of Judah, hear ye the word of the 
 
 12 Lord : 0 house of David, thus saith 
 the Lord, Execute judgement in the 
 morning, and deliver the spoiled out of 
 the hand of the oppressor, lest my 
 fury go forth like fire, and burn that 
 none can quench it, because of the 
 
 13 evil of x your doings. Behold, I am 
 against thee, 0 inhabitant of the val- 
 ley, 3 and of the rock of the plain, saith 
 the Lord; ye which say, Who shall 
 come down against us ? or who shall 
 
 14 enter into our habitations ? and I will 
 punish you according to the fruit of 
 your doings, saith the Lord : and I will 
 kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall 
 devour all that is round about her. 
 
 22 Thus said the Lord : Go down to 
 
 the house of the king of Judah, and 
 
 2 speak there this word, and say, Hear 
 the word of the Lord, 0 king of Judah, 
 that sittest upon the throne of David, 
 thou, and thy servants, and thy people 
 
 3 that enter in by these gates. Thus 
 saith the Lord : Execute ye judgement 
 and righteousness, and deliver the 
 spoiled out of the hand of the oppress- 
 or: and do no wrong, do no violence, 
 to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the 
 widow, neither shed innocent blood in 
 
 4 this place. For if ye do this thing in- 
 deed, then shall there enter in by the 
 gates of this house kings sitting 4 upon 
 the throne of David, riding in chariots 
 and on horses, he, and his servants, 
 
 5 and his people. But if ye will not 
 hear these words, I swear by myself, 
 saith the Lord, that this house shall 
 
 6 become a desolation. For thus saith 
 the Lord 5 concerning the house of the 
 king of J udah : Thou art Gilead unto 
 me, and the head of Lebanon: yet 
 surely I will make thee a wilderness, 
 and cities which are not inhabited. 
 
 7 And I will 6 prepare destroyers against 
 thee, every one with his weapons : and 
 they shall cut down thy choice cedars, 
 
 8 and cast them into the fire. And 
 many nations shall pass by this city, 
 and they shall say every man to 
 his neighbour, Wherefore hath the 
 Lord done thus unto this great city? 
 
 9 Then they shall answer, Because they 
 forsook the covenant of the Lord their 
 God, and worshipped other gods, and 
 served them. 
 
 10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither 
 bemoan him: but weep sore for him 
 that goeth away; for he shall return 
 no more, nor see his native country. 
 
 11 For thus saith the Lord touching 
 7 Shallum the son of Josiali, king of 
 Judah, which reigned instead of Josiali 
 his father, which went forth out of 
 this place : He shall not return thither 
 
 12 any more; but in the place whither 
 they have led him captive, there shall 
 he die, and he shall see this land no 
 more. 
 
 13 Woe unto him that buildeth his 
 house by unrighteousness, and his 
 chambers by injustice ; that usetli his 
 neighbour’s service without wages, and 
 
 14 giveth him not his hire ; that saith, I 
 will build me a wide house and spacious 
 chambers, and cuttetli him out wind- 
 ows; and it is cieled with cedar, and 
 
 15 painted with vermilion. Shalt thou 
 reign, because thou 8 strivest to excel 
 in cedar? did not thy father eat and 
 drink, and do judgement and justice? 
 
 16 then it was well with him. He judged 
 the cause of the poor and needy ; then 
 it was well. Was not this to know 
 
 17 me? saith the Lord. But thine eyes 
 and thine heart are not but for thy 
 9 covetousness, and for to shed innocent

 up thy voice in Bashan : and cry from 
 Abarim; for all thy lovers are de-

 prosperity ; but thou saidst, I will not 
 hear. This hath been thy manner 
 from thy youth, that thou obeyedst 
 
 22 not my voice. The wind shall 1 feed all 
 thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go 
 into captivity : surely then shalt thou 
 be ashamed and confounded for all thy 
 
 23 wickedness. O 2 inhabitant of Lebanon, 
 that makest thy nest in the cedars, 
 3 how greatly to be pitied shalt thou be 
 when pangs come upon thee, the pain 
 
 24 as of a woman in travail! As I live, 
 saith the Lord, though 4 Coniali the son 
 of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the 
 signet upon my right hand, yet would 
 
 25 1 pluck thee thence ; and I will give 
 thee into the hand of them that seek 
 thy life, and into the hand of them 
 of whom thou art afraid, even into 
 the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of 
 Babylon, and into the hand of the 
 
 26 Chaldeans. And I will cast thee out, 
 and thy mother that bare thee, into an- 
 other country, where ye were not born ; 
 
 27 and there shall ye die. But to the land 
 whereunto 6 their soul longetli to re- 
 
 28 turn, thither shall they not return. Is 
 this man Coniali a despised broken 
 6 vessel? is he a vessel wherein is no 
 pleasure ? wherefore are they cast out, 
 lie and his seed, and are cast into the 
 
 29 land which they know not ? 0 7 earth, 
 earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. 
 
 30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man 
 childless, a man that shall not prosper 
 in his days: for no man of his seed 
 shall prosper, sitting upon the tin-one 
 of David, and ruling any more in 
 Judah. 
 
 23 Woe unto the shepherds that de- 
 stroy and scatter the sheep of my 
 
 2 pasture! saith the Lord. Therefore 
 thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, 
 against the shepherds that feed my 
 people: Ye have scattered my flock, 
 and driven them away, and have not 
 visited them ; behold, I will visit upon 
 you the evil of your doings, saith the 
 
 3 Lord. And I will gather the remnant 
 of my flock out of all the countries 
 whither I have driven them, and will 
 bring them again to their folds; and 
 they shall be fruitful and multiply. 
 
 4 And I will set up shepherds over them 
 which shall feed them : and they shall 
 
 fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither 
 shall any be lacking, saith the Lord. 
 
 5 Behold, the days come, saith the 
 Lord, that I will raise unto David a 
 righteous 8 Branch, and he shall reign 
 as king and 9 deal wisely, and shall 
 execute judgement and justice in the 
 
 6 land. In his days Judah shall be 
 saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: 
 and this is his name whereby he shall 
 be called, 10 The Lord is our right- 
 
 7 eousness. n Theref ore, behold, the days 
 come, saith the Lord, that they shall 
 no more say, As the Lord liveth, 
 which brought up the children of 
 
 8 Israel out of the land of Egypt ; but, 
 As the Lord liveth, which brought up 
 and which led the seed of the house of 
 Israel out of the north country, and 
 from all the countries whither I had 
 driven them ; and they shall dwell in 
 their own land. 
 
 9 Concerning the prophets. Mine 
 heart within me is broken, all my 
 bones shake; I am like a drunken 
 man, and like a man whom wine hath 
 overcome; because of the Lord, and 
 
 10 because of his holy words. Eor the 
 land is full of adulterers ; for because 
 of 12 swearing the land mournetli ; the 
 pastures of the wilderness are dried 
 up ; and their course is evil, and their 
 
 11 force is not right. For both prophet 
 and priest are profane ; yea, in my house 
 have I found their wickedness, saith 
 
 12 the Lord. Wherefore their way shall 
 be unto them as slippery places in the 
 darkness : they shall be driven on, and 
 fall therein : for I will bring evil upon 
 them, 13 even the year of their visitation, 
 
 13 saith the Lord. And I have seen folly 
 in the prophets of Samaria ; they pro- 
 phesied by Baal, and caused my people 
 
 14 Israel to err. In the prophets of Je- 
 rusalem also I have seen an horrible 
 thing ; they commit adultery, and walk 
 in lies, and they strengthen the hands 
 of evil-doers, that none doth return 
 from his wickedness: they are all of 
 them become unto me as Sodom, 
 and the inhabitants thereof as Go- 
 morrah. 
 
 1 5 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts 
 concerning the prophets : Behold, I will 
 feed them with wormwood, and make 
 them drink the water of 14 gall : for from 
 the prophets of Jerusalem is profane- 
 
 16 ness gone forth into all the land. Thus 
 saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not 
 unto the words of the prophets that pro- 
 phesy unto you ; they teach you vanity : 
 they speak a vision of their own heart, 
 and not out of the mouth of the Lord. 
 
 17 They say continually unto them 15 that 
 despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye 
 shall have peace; and unto every one 
 that walketh in the stubbornness of 
 his own heart they say, No evil shall 
 
 18 come ujion you. For who hath stood

 tempest : it shall hurst upon the head 
 
 20 of the wicked. The anger of the 
 Lord shall not return, until he have

 the intents of his heart : in the latter 
 days ye shall 3 understand it perfectly. 
 
 21 1 sent not these prophets, yet they 
 ran : I spake not unto them, yet they 
 
 22 prophesied. But if they had stood in 
 my council, then had they caused my 
 people to hear my words, and had 
 turned them from their evil way, and 
 
 23 from the evil of their doings. Am I a 
 God at hand, saith the Lord, and not 
 
 24 a God afar off ? Can any hide himself 
 in secret places that I shall not see 
 him? saitli the Lord. Do not I fill 
 heaven and earth? saith the Lord. 
 
 25 1 have heard what the prophets 
 have said, that prophesy lies in my 
 name, saying, I have dreamed, I have 
 
 26 dreamed. How long shall this be in 
 the heart of the prophets that prophesy 
 lies; even the prophets of the deceit 
 
 27 of their own heart ? which think to 
 cause my people to forget my name 
 by their dreams which they tell every 
 man to his neighbour, as their fathers 
 
 28forgat my name for Baal. The pro- 
 phet that hath a dream, let him tell a 
 dream; and he that hath my word, 
 let him speak my word faithfully. 
 What is the straw to the wheat ? saith 
 
 29 the Lord. Is not my word like as 
 fire ? saith the Lord ; and like a ham- 
 mer that breaketh the rock in pieces ? 
 
 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the 
 prophets, saith the Lord, that steal 
 my words every one from his neigh- 
 
 31 hour. Behold, I am against the pro- 
 phets, saith the Lord, that 4 use their 
 
 32 tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, 
 I am against them that prophesy lying 
 dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell 
 them, and cause my people to err by 
 their lies, and by their vain boasting : 
 yet I sent them not, nor commanded 
 them; neither shall they profit this 
 
 33 people at all, saith the Lord. And 
 when this people, or the prophet, or a 
 priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is 
 the burden of the Lord ? then shalt 
 thou 5 say unto them, 6 What burden! 
 I will cast you off, saith the Lord. 
 
 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, 
 and the i>eople, that shall say, The 
 burden of the Lord, I will even punish 
 
 35 that man and his house. Thus shall 
 ye say every one to his neighbour, and 
 every one to his brother, What hath 
 the Lord answered? and, What hath 
 
 36 the Lord spoken ? And the burden of 
 the Lord shall ye mention no more: 
 for every man’s own word 7 shall be 
 
 his burden ; for ye have perverted the 
 words of the living God, of the Lord of 
 
 37 hosts our God. Thus shalt thou say 
 to the prophet, What hath the Lord 
 answered thee? and, What hath the 
 
 38 Lord spoken? But if ye say, The burden 
 of the Lord ; therefore thus saith the 
 Lord : Because ye say this word, The 
 burden of the Lord, and I have sent un- 
 to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The 
 
 39 burden of the Lord ; therefore, behold, 
 I will 8 utterly forget you, and I will cast 
 you off, and the city that I gave unto 
 you and to your fathers, away from my 
 
 40 presence: and I will bring an everlast- 
 ing reproach upon you, and a perpetual 
 shame, which shall not be forgotten. 
 
 24 The Lord shewed me, and, behold, 
 two baskets of figs set before the 
 temple of the Lord ; after .that Ne- 
 buchadrezzar king of Babylon had 
 carried away captive Jeconiah the son 
 of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the 
 princes of Judah, with the craftsmen 
 and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had 
 
 2 brought them to Babylon. One bas- 
 ket had very good figs, like the figs 
 that are first ripe: and the other 
 basket had very bad figs, which could 
 
 3 not be eaten, they were so bad. Then 
 said the Lord unto me, What seest 
 thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; 
 the good figs, very good ; and the bad, 
 very bad, that cannot be eaten, they 
 
 4 are so bad. And the word of the Lord 
 
 5 came unto me, saying, Thus saith 
 the Lord, the God of Israel ; Like these 
 good figs, so will I regard the captives 
 of Judah, whom I have sent out of this 
 place into the land of the Chaldeans, 
 
 6 for good. For I will set mine eyes upon 
 them for good, and I will bring them 
 again to this land: and I will build 
 them, and not pull them down ; and I 
 will plant them, and not pluck them up. 
 
 7 And I will give them an heart to know 
 me, that I am the Lord : and they shall 
 be my people, and I will be their God : 
 for they shall return unto me with their 
 
 8 whole heart. And as the bad figs, 
 which cannot be eaten, they are so bad ; 
 surely thus saith the Lord, So will I 
 give up Zedekiali the king of Judah, 
 and his princes, and the residue of Jeru- 
 salem, that remain in this land, and 
 
 9 them that dwell in the land of Egypt : I 
 will even give them up to be 9 tossed to 
 and fro among all the kingdoms of the 
 earth for evil ; to be a reproach and a 
 proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all 
 
 10 places whither I shall drive them. And 
 I will send the sword, the famine, and 
 the pestilence, among them, till they 
 be consumed from off the land that I 
 gave unto them and to their fathers.

 and wallow yourselves in ashes , ye

 38 of the Lord. He hath forsaken his 
 covert, as the lion : for their land is be- 
 come an astonishment because of 3 the 
 fierceness of the oppressing sword , 
 and because of his fierce anger. 
 
 26 In the beginning of the reign of 
 Jehoiakim the son of Josiali, king of 
 Judah, came this word from the Lord, 
 
 2 saying, Thus saith the Lord: Stand 
 in the court of the Lord’s house, and 
 speak unto all the cities of Judah, 
 which come to worship in the Lord’s 
 house, all the words that I command 
 thee to speak unto them; keep not 
 
 3 back a word. It may be they will 
 hearken, and turn every man from his 
 evil way; that I may repent me of 
 the evil, which I purpose to do unto 
 them because of the evil of their 
 
 4 doings. And thou shalt say unto them, 
 Thus saith the Lord: If ye will not 
 hearken to me, to walk in my law, 
 
 5 which I have set before you, to 
 hearken to the words of my servants 
 the prophets, whom I send unto you, 
 even rising up early and sending them, 
 
 6 but ye have not hearkened; then 
 will I make this house like Shiloh, 
 and will make this city a curse to all 
 
 7 the nations of the earth. And the 
 priests and the prophets and all the 
 people heard Jeremiah speaking these 
 
 8 words in the house of the Lord. And 
 it came to pass, when Jeremiah had 
 made an end of speaking all that the 
 Lord had commanded him to speak un- 
 to all the people, that the priests and 
 the prophets and all the people laid 
 hold on him, saying, Thou shalt surely 
 
 9 die. Why hast thou prophesied in the 
 name of the Lord, saying, This house 
 shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall 
 be desolate, without inhabitant? And 
 all the people w r ere gathered unto Je- 
 remiah in the house of the Lord. 
 
 10 And when the princes of Judah 
 heard these things, they came up from 
 the king’s house unto the house of the 
 Lord; and they sat in the entry of 
 the new gate of the Lord’s house. 
 
 11 Then spake the priests and the pro- 
 
 phets unto the princes and to all the 
 people, saying, This man is worthy of 
 death ; for he hath prophesied against 
 this city, as ye have heard with your 
 
 12 ears. Then spake Jeremiah unto all 
 the princes and to all the people, say- 
 ing, The Lord sent me to prophesy 
 against this house and against this 
 city all the words that ye have heard. 
 
 13 Therefore now amend your ways and 
 your doings, and obey the voice of the 
 Lord your God; and the Lord will 
 repent him of the evil that he hath 
 
 14 pronounced against you. But as for 
 me, behold, I am in your hand: do 
 with me as is good and right in your 
 
 15 eyes. Only know ye for certain that, 
 if ye put me to death, ye shall bring 
 innocent blood upon yourselves, and 
 upon this city, and upon the inhabit- 
 ants thereof : for of a truth the Lord 
 hath sent me unto you to speak all 
 
 16 these words in your ears. Then said 
 the princes and all the people unto the 
 priests and to the proxfiiets : This man 
 is not worthy of death; for he hath 
 spoken to us in the name of the Lord 
 
 17 our God. Then rose up certain of the 
 elders of the land, and spake to all the 
 
 18 assembly of the people, saying, 4 Mi- 
 caiah the Moraslitite prophesied in the 
 days of Hezekiah king of Judah ; and 
 he spake to all the people of Judah, 
 saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts : 
 5 Zion shall be plowed as a field, and 
 Jerusalem shall become heaps, and 
 the mountain of the house as the high 
 
 19 places of a forest. Did Hezekiah king 
 of Judah and all Judah put him at all 
 to death? did he not fear the Lord, 
 and intreat the favour of the Lord, 
 and the Lord repented him of the 
 evil which he had pronounced against 
 them? Thus should we commit great 
 
 20 evil against our own souls. And there 
 was also a man that prophesied in the 
 name of the Lord, Uriah the son of 
 Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; and he 
 prophesied against this city and against 
 this land according to all the words of 
 
 21 Jeremiah: and when Jehoiakim the 
 king, with all his mighty men, and all 
 the princes, heard his words, the king 
 sought to put him to death ; but when 
 Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and 
 
 22 fled, and went into Egypt: and Je- 
 hoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, 
 namely , Elnatlian the son of Achbor, 
 and certain men with him, into Egypt : 
 
 23 and they fetched forth Uriah out of 
 Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoia- 
 kim the king ; who slew him with the 
 sword, and cast his dead body into the 
 
 24 graves of the 6 common people. But 
 the hand of Aliikam the son of Slia- 
 phan was with Jeremiah, that they 
 should not give him into the hand of 
 the people to put him to death.

 prophesied, to bring again the vessels 
 
 caused to be carried away captive from 
 
 
 
 of the Loud’s house, and all them of 
 
 5 Jerusalem unto Babylon: Build ye 
 
 1 
 
 
 the captivity, from Babylon unto this 
 
 houses, and dwell in them ; and plant 
 
 
 
 7 place. Nevertheless hear thou now 
 
 gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 
 
 
 
 this word that I speak in thine ears, 
 
 6 take ye wives, and beget sons and 
 
 
 
 8 and in the ears of all the peoi)le : The 
 
 daughters; and take wives for your 
 
 
 
 prophets that have been before me 
 
 sons, and give your daughters to hus- 
 
 
 
 and before thee of old prophesied 
 
 bands, that they may bear sons and 
 
 
 
 against many countries, and against 
 
 daughters ; and multiply ye there, and 
 
 
 
 great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, 
 
 7 be not diminished. And seek the peace 
 
 
 
 9 and of pestilence. The prophet which 
 
 of the city whither I have caused you 
 
 
 
 prophesieth of peace, when the word 
 
 to be carried away captive, and pray 
 
 
 
 of the prophet shall come to pass, 
 
 unto the Lord for it : for in the peace 
 
 
 1 Or, 
 
 then shall the prophet be known, Hliat 
 
 8 thereof shall ye have peace. For thus 
 
 
 'Whom 
 
 The LORD 
 
 10 the Lord hath truly sent him. Then 
 
 saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 
 
 hath 
 
 Hananiah the prophet took the bar 
 
 Israel : Let not your prophets that be 
 
 
 sent 
 
 from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, 
 
 in the midst of you, and your diviners, 
 
 
 
 11 and brake it. And Hananiah spake in 
 
 deceive you, neither hearken ye to 
 
 
 
 the presence of all the people, saying, 
 
 your dreams which ye 2 cause to be 
 
 2 Or, 
 
 
 Thus saitli the Lord : Even so will I 
 
 9 dreamed. For they prophesy falsely 
 
 dream 
 
 
 break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king 
 
 unto you in my name : I have not sent 
 
 
 
 of Babylon within two full years from 
 
 10 them, saith the Lord. For thus saith 
 
 
 
 off the neck of all the nations. And 
 
 the Lord, After seventy years be ac- 
 
 
 
 the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 
 
 complished for Babylon, I will visit 
 
 
 
 12 Then the word of the Lord came unto 
 
 you, and perform my good word to- 
 
 
 
 Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the 
 
 ward you, in causing you to return to 
 
 
 
 prophet had broken the bar from off 
 
 11 this place. For I know the thoughts 
 
 
 
 the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, say- 
 
 that I think toward you, saith the 
 
 
 
 13ing, Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, 
 
 Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of 
 
 
 
 Thus saith the Lord : Thou hast broken 
 
 evil, to give you 3 hope in your latter 
 
 3 Heb. a 
 
 
 the bars of wood; but thou shait 
 
 12 end. And ye shall call upon me, and 
 
 latter 
 etui and 
 
 
 14 make in their stead bars of iron. For 
 
 ye shall go and pray unto me, and I 
 
 hope. 
 
 
 thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
 
 13 will hearken unto you. And ye shall 
 
 
 
 of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron 
 
 seek me, and find me, when ye shall 
 
 
 
 upon the neck of all these nations, 
 
 search for me with all your heart. 
 
 
 
 that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar 
 
 14 And I will be found of you, saith the 
 
 
 
 king of Babylon ; and they shall serve 
 
 Lord, and I will 4 turn again your 
 
 4 Or, 
 
 
 him : and I have given him the beasts 
 
 captivity, and I will gather you from 
 
 to 
 
 
 15 of the field also. Then said the pro- 
 
 all the nations, and from all the places 
 
 
 
 phet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the 
 
 whither I have driven you, saith the 
 
 
 
 prophet, Hear now, Hananiah ; the 
 
 Lord ; and I will bring you again unto 
 
 
 
 Lord hath not sent thee ; but thou 
 
 the place whence I caused you to be 
 
 
 
 makest this people to trust in a lie. 
 
 15 carried away captive. For ye have 
 
 
 
 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Be- 
 
 said, The Lord hath raised us up pro- 
 
 
 
 hold, I will send thee away from off 
 
 16 pliets in Babylon. For thus saith the 
 
 
 
 the face of the earth : this year thou 
 
 Lord concerning the king that sittetli 
 
 
 
 slialt die, because thou hast spoken re- 
 
 upon the throne of David, and con- 
 
 
 
 17 bellion against the Lord. So Hananiah 
 
 cerning all the people that dwell in 
 
 
 
 the prophet died the same year in the 
 
 this city, your brethren that are not 
 
 
 
 seventh month. 
 
 gone forth with you into captivity; 
 
 
 
 29 Now these are the words of the 
 
 17 thus saith the Lord of hosts : Behold, 
 
 
 
 letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent 
 
 I will send upon them the sword, the 
 
 
 
 from Jerusalem unto the residue of the 
 
 famine, and the pestilence, and will 
 
 
 
 ciders of the captivity, and to the 
 
 make them like vile figs, that cannot 
 
 
 
 priests, and to the prophets, and to 
 
 18 be eaten, they are so bad. And I will 
 
 
 
 all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar 
 
 pursue after them with the sword, 
 
 
 
 had carried away captive from Jeru- 
 
 with the famine, and with the pesti- 
 
 
 
 2 salem to Babylon : (after that Jeconiali

 19 whither I have driven them: because 
 
 
 
 of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of 
 
 they have not hearkened to my words, 
 
 
 
 Hilkiali, (whom Zedekiah king of J udali 
 
 saith the Lord, wherewith I sent unto

 4 king of Babylon,) saying, Thus saith 
 
 up early and sending them; but ye

 unto 
 
 ? Or, 
 the 
 collar 
 
 all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent 
 away from Jerusalem to Babylon. 
 
 21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
 God of Israel, concerning Aliab the 
 son of Kolaiali, and concerning Zed- 
 ekiali the son of Maaseiah, which 
 prophesy a lie unto you in my name : 
 Behold, I will deliver them into the 
 hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Baby- 
 lon ; and he shall slay them before your 
 
 22 eyes ; and of them shall be taken up 
 a curse by all the captives of Judah 
 which are in Babylon, saying, The 
 Lord make thee like Zedekiah and 
 like Aliab, whom the king of Babylon 
 
 23 roasted in the fire : because they have 
 wrought folly in Israel, and have com- 
 mitted adultery with their neighbours’ 
 wives, and have spoken words in my 
 name falsely, which I commanded them 
 not; and I am he that knoweth, and 
 am witness, saith the Lord. 
 
 24 And 1 concerning Shemaiah the Ne- 
 
 25 helamite thou shalt speak, saying, Thus 
 speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God 
 of Israel, saying, Because thou hast 
 sent letters in thine own name unto 
 all the people that are at Jerusalem, 
 and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah 
 the priest, and to all the priests, say- 
 
 26 ing, The Lord hath made thee priest 
 in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, 
 that ye should be officers in the house of 
 the Lord, for every man that is mad, 
 and maketh himself a prophet, that 
 thou shouldest put him in the stocks 
 
 27 and in 2 shackles. Now therefore, why 
 hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Ana- 
 thoth, which maketh himself a prophet 
 
 28 to you, forasmuch as he hath sent 
 unto us in Babylon, saying, The captiv- 
 ity is long : build ye houses, and dwell 
 in them; and plant gardens, and eat 
 
 29 the fruit of them ? And Zephaniah the 
 priest read this letter in the ears of 
 
 30 J eremiali the prophet. Then came the 
 word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, say- 
 
 31 ing, Send to all them of the captivity, 
 saying, Thus saith the Lord concern- 
 ing Shemaiah the Nehelamite : Because 
 that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto 
 you, and I sent him not, and he hath 
 
 32 caused you to trust in a lie ; therefore 
 thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
 punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and 
 his seed ; he shall not have a man to 
 dwell among this people, neither shall 
 he behold the good that I will do unto 
 my people, saith the Lord: because 
 he hath spoken rebellion against the 
 Lord. 
 
 3 Or, 
 
 return 
 
 to 
 
 30 The word that came to Jeremiah 
 
 2 from the Lord, saying, Thus speaketh 
 the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, 
 Write thee all the words that I have 
 
 3 spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, 
 the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
 will 3 turn again the captivity of my 
 
 people Israel and Judah, saith the 
 Lord : and I will cause them to return 
 to the land that I gave to their fathers, 
 and they shall possess it. 
 
 4 And these are the words that the 
 Lord spake concerning Israel and 
 
 5 concerning Judah. For thus saith the 
 Lord : We have heard a voice of trem- 
 
 6 bling, 4 of fear, and not of peace. Ask 
 ye now, and see whether a man doth 
 travail with child : wherefore do I see 
 every man with his hands on his loins, 
 as a woman in travail, and all faces 
 
 7 are turned into paleness ? Alas ! for 
 that day is great, so that none is like 
 it: it is even the time of Jacob’s 
 trouble ; but he shall be saved out of 
 
 8 it. 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 thy bands ; and strangers 
 shall no more serve themselves of him : 
 
 9 but they shall serve the Lord their 
 God, and David their king, whom I 
 
 10 wall raise up unto them. Therefore 
 fear thou not, 0 Jacob my servant, 
 saith the Lord ; neither be dismayed, 
 0 Israel : for, lo, I will save thee from 
 afar, and thy seed from the land of 
 their captivity ; and J acob shall return, 
 and shall be quiet and at ease, and 
 
 11 none shall make him afraid. For I 
 am with thee, saith the Lord, to save 
 thee : for I will make a full end of all 
 the nations whither I have scattered 
 thee, but I will not make a full end of 
 thee ; but I will correct thee with judge- 
 ment, and will in no wise 5 leave thee 
 unpunished. 
 
 12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy hurt 
 is incurable, and thy wound grievous. 
 
 13 There is none to plead 6 thy cause, 
 
 7 that thou mayest be bound up : thou 
 
 14 hast no healing medicines. All thy 
 lovers have forgotten thee ; they seek 
 thee not: for I have wounded thee 
 with the wound of an enemy, with the 
 chastisement of a cruel one; for the 
 
 8 greatness of thine iniquity, because 
 
 15 thy sins were increased. Why criest 
 thou 9 for thy hurt? thy pain is in- 
 curable: for the 8 greatness of thine 
 iniquity, because thy sins were in- 
 creased, I have done these things 
 
 16 unto thee. Therefore all they that 
 devour thee shall be devoured; and 
 all thine adversaries, every one of 
 them, shall go into captivity ; and they 
 that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all 
 that prey upon thee will I give for a 
 
 17 prey. For I will restore 10 health un- 
 to thee, and I will heal thee of thy 
 wounds, saith the Lord ; because they 
 have called thee an outcast, saying, It 
 is Zion, whom no man 11 seeketh after. 
 
 18 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will 
 3 turn again the captivity of Jacob’s 
 tents, and have compassion on his 
 dwelling places ; and the city shall be

 31 At that time, saith the Lord, will I 
 be the God of all the families of Israel, 
 2 and they shall be my people. Thus 
 saith the Lord, The people which were 
 
 in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter 
 weeping, Rachel weeping for her child- 
 ren ; she refuseth to be comforted for 
 her children, because they are not.

 thereof shall dwell therein together; 
 the husbandmen, and they that go 
 
 *25 about with flocks. For I have satiated 
 the weary soul, and every sorrowful 
 
 26 soul have I replenished. Upon this 
 I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep 
 
 27 was sweet unto me. Behold, the days 
 come, saitli the Lord, that I will sow 
 the house of Israel and the house of 
 Judah with the seed of man, and with 
 
 28 the seed of beast. And it shall come to 
 pass, that like as I have watched over 
 them to pluck up and to break down, 
 and to overthrow and to destroy, and 
 to afflict ; so will I watch over them to 
 
 29 build and to plant, saitli the Lord. In 
 those days they shall say no more, The 
 fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the 
 
 30 children’s teeth are set on edge. But 
 every one shall die for his own iniquity : 
 every man that eateth the sour grapes, 
 his teeth shall be set on edge. 
 
 31 Behold, the days come, saith the 
 Lord, that I will make a new coven- 
 ant with the house of Israel, and with 
 
 32 the house of Judah : not according to 
 the covenant that I made with their 
 fathers in the day that I took them by 
 the hand to bring them out of the land 
 of Egypt; 1 which my covenant they 
 brake, although I was 2 an husband 
 
 33 unto them, saith the Lord. But this 
 is the covenant that I will make with 
 the house of Israel after those days, 
 saith the Lord ; I will put my law in 
 their inward parts, and in their heart 
 will I write it ; and I will be their God, 
 
 34 and they shall be my people: and 
 they shall teach no more every man 
 his neighbour, and every man his 
 brother, saying, Know the Lord : for 
 they shall all know me, from the least 
 of them unto the greatest of them, 
 saith the Lord : for I will forgive their 
 iniquity, and their sin will I remember 
 
 35 no more. Thus saith the Lord, which 
 givetli the sun for a light by day, and 
 the ordinances of the moon and of the 
 stars for a light by night, which 3 stir- 
 reth up the sea, that the waves there- 
 of roar; the Lord of hosts is his 
 
 36 name : If these ordinances depart from 
 before me, saith the Lord, then the 
 seed of Israel also shall cease from 
 being a nation before me for ever. 
 
 37 Thus saith the Lord : If heaven above 
 can be measured, and the foundations 
 of the earth searched out beneath, 
 then will I also cast off all the seed of 
 Israel for all that they have done, 
 
 38 saith the Lord. Behold, the days 
 come, saitli the Lord, that the city 
 shall be built to the Lord from the 
 tower of Hananel unto the gate of the 
 
 39 corner. And the measuring line shall 
 yet go out straight onward unto the 
 hill Gareb, and shall turn about unto 
 
 40Goah. And the whole valley of the 
 dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all 
 
 the fields unto the brook Kidron, unto 
 the corner of the horse gate toward 
 the east, shall be holy unto the Lord ; 
 it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown 
 down any more for ever. 
 
 32 The word that came to Jeremiah 
 from the Lord in the tenth year of 
 Zedekiali king of Judah, which was the 
 eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. 
 
 2 Now at that time the king of Babylon’s 
 army besieged Jerusalem: and Jerem- 
 iah the prophet was shut up in the 
 court of the guard, which was in the 
 
 3 king of Judah’s house. For Zedekiali 
 king of Judah had shut him up, say- 
 ing, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, 
 and say, Thus saith the Lord, Be- 
 hold, I will give this city into the hand 
 of the king of Babylon, and he shall 
 
 4 take it ; and Zedekiali king of Judah 
 shall not escape out of the hand of the 
 Chaldeans, but shall surely be deliv- 
 ered into the hand of the king of Bab-

 I visit him, saith the Lord: though 
 ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall 
 not prosper ? 
 
 6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the 
 
 7 Lord came unto me, saying, Behold, 
 Hanamel the son of Shallum thine uncle 
 shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee 
 my field that is in Anathotli: for the 
 right of redemption is thine to buy it. 
 
 8 So Hanamel mine uncle’s son came to 
 me in the court of the guard according 
 to the word of the Lord, and said 
 unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, 
 that is in Anatlioth, which is in the 
 land of Benjamin: for the right of 
 inheritance is thine, and the redemii- 
 tion is thine ; buy it for thyself. Then 
 I knew that this was the word of the 
 
 9 Lord. And I bought the field that was 
 in Anatlioth of Hanamel mine uncle’s 
 son, and weighed him the money, even 
 
 10 seventeen shekels of silver. And I 
 subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and 
 called witnesses, and weighed him the 
 
 11 money in the balances. So I took the 
 deed of the purchase, both that which 
 was sealed, 4 according to the law and 
 custom, and that which was open: 
 
 12 and I delivered the deed of the pur- 
 chase unto Baruch the son of Neriali, 
 the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of 
 Hanamel mine uncle’s son , and in the 
 presence of the witnesses that sub- 
 scribed the deed of the purchase, be- 
 fore all the Jews that sat in the court 
 
 13 of the guard. And I charged Baruch 
 
 14 before them, saying, Thus saith the 
 Lord of hosts, the God of Israel : Take 
 these deeds, this deed of the purchase, 
 both that which is sealed, and this 
 deed which is open, and put them in

 16 Now after I had delivered the deed 
 
 from the day that they built it even 
 
 
 
 of the purchase unto Baruch the son 
 
 unto this day; that I should remove 
 
 
 
 of Neriali, I prayed unto the Lord, 
 
 32 it from before my face : because of all 
 
 
 
 17 saying, All Lord God! behold, thou 
 
 the evil of the children of Israel and 
 
 
 
 hast made the heaven and the earth by 
 
 of the children of Judah, which they 
 
 
 
 thy great power and by thy stretched 
 
 have done to provoke me to anger,

 thousands, and recompensest the in- 
 
 men of Judah, and the inhabitants 
 
 
 
 iquity of the fathers into the bosom 
 
 33 of Jerusalem. And they have turned 
 
 
 
 of their children after them : the great, 
 
 unto me the back, and not the face : 
 
 
 
 the mighty God, the Lord of hosts is 
 
 and though I taught them, rising up 
 
 
 
 19 his name : great in counsel, and mighty 
 
 early and teaching them, yet they 
 
 
 
 in work : whose eyes are open upon all 
 
 have not hearkened to receive instruc- 
 
 
 
 the ways of the sons of men ; to give 
 
 34 tion. But they set their abominations 
 
 
 
 every one according to his ways, and 
 
 in the house which is called by my 
 
 
 
 according to the fruit of his doings:

 the God of Israel, concerning this city, 
 
 
 
 to their fathers to give them, a land 
 
 whereof ye say, It is given into the hand 
 
 
 
 23 flowing with milk and honey; and 
 
 of the king of Babylon by the sword, 
 
 
 
 they came in, and possessed it ; but 
 
 and by the famine, and by the pesti- 
 
 
 
 they obeyed not thy voice, neither 
 
 37 lence : Behold, I will gather them out

 of all the countries, whither I have 
 
 
 
 nothing of all that thou commandedst 
 
 driven them in mine anger, and in my 
 
 
 
 them to do : therefore thou hast caused 
 
 fury, and in great wrath ; and I will 
 
 
 
 24 all this evil to come upon them : behold 
 
 bring them again unto this place, and 
 
 
 
 the mounts, they are come unto the

 fight against it, because of the sword, 
 
 heart and one way, that they may fear 
 
 
 
 and of the famine, and of the pestilence: 
 
 me for ever ; for the good of them, and 
 
 
 
 and what thou hast spoken is come to 
 
 40 of tlieir children after them : and I will 
 
 
 
 25 pass ; and, behold, thou seest it. And 
 
 make an everlasting covenant with 
 
 
 
 thou hast said unto me, 0 Lord God, 
 
 them, that I will not turn away 4 from

 Buy thee the field for money, and call

 41 not depart from me. Yea, I will re- 
 
 
 
 26 Then came the word of the Lord 
 
 joice over them to do them good, and 
 
 
 
 27 unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am 
 
 I will plant them in this land 5 assured-

 evil upon this people, so will I bring 
 
 
 
 of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of 
 
 upon them all the good that I have 
 
 
 
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and 
 
 43 promised them. And fields shall be

 33 Moreover the word of the Lord 
 came unto Jeremiah the second time, 
 while he was yet shut up in the court 
 
 2 of the guard, saying, Thus saith the 
 Lord that doetli it, the Lord that 
 formeth it to establish it ; the Lord is 
 
 3 his name: Call unto me, and I will 
 answer thee, and will shew thee great 
 things, and 1 difficult, which thou know- 
 
 4 est not. For thus saitli the Lord, the 
 God of Israel, concerning the houses 
 of this city, and concerning the houses 
 of the kings of Judah, which are 
 broken down to make a defence against 
 the mounts, and against the sword: 
 
 5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, 
 but it is to fill them with the dead 
 bodies of men, whom I have slain in 
 mine anger and in my fury, and for all 
 whose wickedness I have hid my face 
 
 6 from this city. Behold, I will bring it 
 2 health and cure, and I will cure them ; 
 and I will reveal unto them abund- 
 
 7 ance of peace and truth. And I will 
 cause the captivity of Judah and the 
 captivity of Israel to return, and will 
 
 8 build them, as at the first. And I will 
 cleanse them from all their iniquity, 
 whereby they have sinned against me ; 
 and I will pardon all their iniquities, 
 whereby they have sinned against me, 
 and whereby they have transgressed 
 
 9 against me. And tins city shall be to 
 me for a name of joy, for a praise and 
 for a glory, before all the nations of 
 the earth, which shall hear all the good 
 that I do unto them, and shall fear 
 and tremble for all the good and for all 
 
 10 the peace that I procure unto it. Thus 
 saith the Lord : Yet again there shall 
 be heard in this place, whereof ye say, 
 It is waste, without man and with- 
 out beast, even in the cities of Ju- 
 dah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, 
 that are desolate, without man and 
 without inhabitant and without beast, 
 
 lithe voice of joy and the voice of glad- 
 ness, the voice of the bridegroom and 
 the voice of the bride, the voice of them 
 that say, Give thanks to the Lord of 
 hosts, for the Lord is good, for his 
 mercy endureth for ever : and of them 
 that bring sacrifices of thanksgiving 
 into the house of the Lord. For I will 
 cause the captivity of the land to return 
 
 12 as at the first, saith the Lord. Thus 
 saith the Lord of hosts: Yet again 
 shall there be in this place, which is 
 waste, without man and without beast, 
 and in all the cities thereof, an habita- 
 tion of shepherds causing tlieir flocks 
 
 13 to lie down. In the cities of the hill 
 country, in the cities of the lowland, 
 and in the cities of the South, and in 
 the land of Benjamin, and in the places 
 about Jerusalem, and in the cities of 
 Judah, shall the flocks again pass under 
 
 the hands of him that telleth them, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 14 Behold, the days come, saith the 
 Lord, that I will perform that good 
 word which I have spoken concerning 
 the house of Israel and concerning the 
 
 15 house of Judah. In those days, and 
 at that time, will I cause a 3 Branch of 
 righteousness to grow up unto David ; 
 and he shall execute judgement and 
 
 16 righteousness in the land. In those 
 days shall Judah be saved, and Jeru- 
 salem shall dwell safely: and this is 
 the name whereby she shall be called, 
 
 17 4 The Lord is our righteousness. For 
 thus saith the Lord: 5 David shall 
 never want a man to sit upon the 
 
 18 throne of the house of Israel ; neither 
 shall the priests the Levites want a 
 man before me to offer burnt offerings, 
 and to burn 6 oblations, and to do sacri- 
 
 19 flee continually. And the word of the 
 Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 20 Thus saith the Lord : If ye can break 
 my covenant of the day, and my coven- 
 ant of the night, so that there should 
 not be day and night in their season ; 
 
 21 then may also my covenant be broken 
 with David my servant, that he should 
 not have a son to reign upon his 
 throne ; and with the Levites the 
 
 22 priests, my ministers. As the host of 
 heaven cannot be numbered, neither 
 the sand of the sea measured ; so will I 
 multiply the seed of David my servant, 
 and the Levites that minister unto 
 
 23 me. And the word of the Lord came 
 
 24 to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou 
 not what this people have spoken, say- 
 ing, The two families which the Lord 
 did choose, he hath cast them off ? thus 
 do they despise my people, that they 
 should be no more a nation before 
 
 25 them. Thus saith the Lord: If my 
 covenant of day and night stand not, 
 if I have not appointed the ordin- 
 
 26ances of heaven and earth; then will 
 I alSo cast away the seed of Jacob, 
 and of David my servant, so that I 
 will not take of his seed to be rulers 
 over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and 
 Jacob : for I will 7 cause their captivity 
 to return, and will have mercy on them. 
 
 34 The word which came unto Jerem- 
 iah from the Lord, when Nebuchad- 
 nezzar king of Babylon, and all his 
 army, and all the kingdoms of the 
 earth that were under his dominion, 
 and all the peoples, fought against 
 Jerusalem, and against all the cities 
 
 2 thereof, saying: Thus saith the Lord, 
 the God of Israel, Go, and speak to 
 Zedekiali king of Judah, and tell him, 
 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
 give this city into the hand of the king 
 of Babylon, and he shall burn it with 
 
 3 fire : and thou shalt not escape out of 
 his hand, but shalt surely be taken,

 thee month to mouth, and thon shalt 
 
 4 go to Babylon. Yet hear the word of 
 the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah: 
 thus saitli the Lord concerning thee, 
 
 5 Thou shalt not die by the sword ; thou 
 shalt die in peace ; and with the burn- 
 ings of thy fathers, the former kings 
 which were before tliee, so shall they 
 1 make a burning for tliee; and they 
 shall lament thee, saying , All lord ! 
 for I have spoken the word, saitli the 
 
 6 Lord. Then Jeremiah the prophet 
 spake all these words unto Zedekiah 
 
 7 king of Judah in Jerusalem, when the 
 king of Babylon’s army fought against 
 Jerusalem, and against all the cities of 
 Judah that were left, against Lachisli 
 and against Azekah; for these alone 
 remained of the cities of Judah as 
 fenced cities. 
 
 8 The word that came unto Jeremiah 
 from the Lord, after that the king 
 Zedekiah had made a covenant with 
 all the people which were at Jerusalem, 
 
 9 to proclaim liberty unto them; that 
 every man should let his manservant, 
 and every man his maidservant, being 
 an Hebrew or an Bebrewess, go free ; 
 that none should serve himself of them, 
 
 10 to wit , of a Jew his brother: and all 
 the princes and all the people obeyed, 
 which had entered into the covenant, 
 that every one should let his man- 
 servant, and everyone his maidservant, 
 go free, that none should serve them- 
 selves of them any more ; they obeyed, 
 
 11 and let them go: but afterwards they 
 turned, and caused the servants and 
 the handmaids, whom they had let go 
 free, to return, and brought them 
 into subjection for servants and for 
 
 12 handmaids : therefore the word of the 
 Lord came to Jeremiah from the 
 
 13 Lord, saying, Thus saith the Lord, 
 the God of Israel : I made a covenant 
 with your fathers in the day that I 
 brought them forth out of the land of 
 Egypt, out of the house of 2 bondage, 
 
 14 saying, At the end of seven years ye 
 shall let go every man his brother that 
 is an Hebrew, which 3 hath been sold 
 unto thee, and hath served thee six 
 years, thou shalt let him go free from 
 tliee : but your fathers hearkened not 
 unto me, neither inclined their ear. 
 
 15 And ye were now turned, and had done 
 that which is right in mine eyes, in 
 proclaiming liberty every man to his 
 neighbour ; and ye had made a coven- 
 ant before me in the house which is 
 
 16 called by my name: but ye turned 
 and profaned my name, and caused 
 every man his servant, and every 
 man his handmaid, whom ye had let 
 go free at their pleasure, to return; 
 and ye brought them into subjection, 
 
 to be unto you for servants and for 
 
 17 handmaids. Therefore thus saith the 
 Lord: Ye have not hearkened unto 
 me, to proclaim liberty, every man 
 to his brother, and every man to his 
 neighbour : behold, I proclaim unto 
 you a liberty, saith the Lord, to 
 the sword, to the pestilence, and to 
 the famine; and I will make you to 
 be 4 tossed to and fro among all the 
 
 18 kingdoms of the earth. And I will give 
 the men that have transgressed my 
 covenant, which have not performed 
 the words of the covenant which they 
 made before me, 5 when they cut the 
 calf in twain and passed between the 
 
 19 parts thereof; the princes of Judah, 
 and the princes of Jerusalem, the 
 eunuchs, and the priests, and all the 
 people of the land, which passed be- 
 
 20 tween the parts of the calf ; I will even 
 give them into the hand of their ene- 
 mies, and into the hand of them that 
 seek their life : and their dead bodies 
 shall be for meat unto the fowls of the 
 heaven, and to the beasts of the earth. 
 
 21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his 
 princes will I give into the hand of 
 their enemies, and into the hand of them 
 that seek their life, and into the hand of 
 the king of Babylon’s army, which are 
 
 22 gone up from you. Behold, I will com- 
 mand, saith the Lord, and cause them 
 to return to this city ; and they shall 
 fight against it, and take it, and burn it 
 with fire : and I will make the cities of 
 Judah a desolation, without inhabitant. 
 
 35 The word which came unto Jerem- 
 iah from the Lord in the days of Jelioi- 
 akim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, 
 
 2 saying, Go unto the house of the 
 Recliabites, and speak unto them, and 
 bring them into the house of the Lord, 
 into one of the chambers, and give them 
 
 3 wine to drink. Then I took Jaazaniali 
 the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaz- 
 ziniah, and his brethren, and all his 
 sons, and the whole house of the Re- 
 
 4 chabites ; and I brought them into the 
 house of the Lord, into the chamber 
 of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdal- 
 iah, the man of God, which was by 
 the chamber of the princes, which was 
 above the chamber of Maaseiah the 
 son of Shallum, the keeper of the 
 
 5 6 door : and I set before the sons of the 
 house of the Rechabites bowls full of 
 wine, and cups, and I said unto them, 
 
 6 Drink ye wine. But they said, We 
 will drink no wine : for Jonadab the son 
 of Recliab our father commanded us, 
 saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither 
 
 7 ye, nor your sons, for ever : neither 
 shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor 
 plant vineyard, nor have any : but all 
 your days ye shall dwell in tents ; that 
 ye may live many days in the land

 to do unto them; that they may re-

 turn every man from his evil way; 
 
 
 
 when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
 
 that I may forgive their iniquity and 
 
 
 
 came up into the land, that we said, 
 
 4 their sin. Then J eremiali called Baruch 
 
 
 
 Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for 
 
 the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote 
 
 
 
 fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and 
 
 from the mouth of Jeremiah all the 
 
 
 
 for fear of the army of the Syrians ; so 
 
 words of the Lord, which he had

 spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. 
 
 
 
 12 Then came the word of the Lord

 dab the son of Rechab have performed 
 
 10 fore the Lord. Then read Baruch in 
 
 
 
 the commandment of their father 
 
 the book the words of Jeremiah in 
 
 
 
 which he commanded them, but this 
 
 the house of the Lord, in the chamber 
 
 
 
 people hath not hearkened unto me; 
 
 of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the 
 
 
 
 17 therefore thus saitli the Lord, the 
 
 scribe, in the upper court, at the entry 
 
 
 
 God of hosts, the God of Israel: Be- 
 
 of the new gate of the Lord’s house, in 
 
 
 
 hold, I will bring upon Judah and 
 
 11 the ears of all the people. And when 
 
 
 
 upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
 
 Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son 
 
 
 
 all the evil that I have pronounced 
 
 of Shaphan, had heard out of the book 
 
 
 
 against them: because I have spoken 
 
 12 all the words of the Lord, he went 
 
 
 
 unto them, but they have not heard ; 
 
 down into the king’s house, into the 
 
 
 
 and I have called unto them, but they 
 
 scribe’s chamber : and, lo, all the princes 
 
 
 
 18 have not answered. And Jeremiah 
 
 sat there, even Elishama the scribe, 
 
 
 
 said unto the house of the Rechabites, 
 
 and Delaiali the son of Shemaiali, and 
 
 
 
 Thus saitli the Lord of hosts, the 
 
 Elnathan the son of Aclibor, and Ge- 
 
 
 
 God of Israel : Because ye have obeyed 
 
 mariah the son of Shaphan, and Zed- 
 
 
 
 the commandment of Jonadab your 
 
 ekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the 
 
 
 
 father, and kept all his precepts, and 
 
 13 princes. Then Micaiah declared unto 
 
 
 
 done according unto all that he com- 
 
 them all the words that he had heard, 
 
 
 
 19 manded you ; therefore thus saith the 
 
 when Baruch read the book in the 
 
 
 
 Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Jona- 
 
 14 ears of the people. Therefore all the 
 
 
 
 dab the son of Rechab shall not want a 
 
 princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethan- 
 
 
 
 man to stand before me for ever. 
 
 iah, the son of Slielemiah, the son of 
 
 
 
 
 Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in 
 
 
 
 36 And it came to pass in the fourth 
 
 thine hand the roll wherein thou hast 
 
 
 
 year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, 
 
 read in the ears of the people, and 
 
 
 
 king of Judah, that this word came 
 
 come. So Baruch the son of Neriah 
 
 
 
 unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 
 
 took the roll in his hand, and came 
 
 
37. 14. 
 
 JEREMIAH. 
 
 573 
 
 2 Or, 
 the son 
 of Eam- 
 melech 
 
 15 unto them. And they said unto him, 
 Sit down now, and read it in our ears. 
 
 16 So Baruch read it in their ears. Now 
 it came to pass, when they had heard 
 all the words, they turned in fear one 
 toward another, and said unto Baruch, 
 We will surely tell the king of all these 
 
 17 words. And they asked Baruch, say- 
 ing, Tell us now, How didst thou write 
 
 18 all these words at his mouth? Then 
 Baruch answered them, He pronounced 
 all these words unto me with his mouth, 
 and I wrote them with ink in the book. 
 
 19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, 
 Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and 
 
 ‘20 let no man know where ye be. And 
 they went in to the king into the 
 court ; but they had laid up the roll in 
 the chamber of Elisliama the scribe; 
 and they told all the words in the ears 
 
 21 of the king. So the king sent Jehudi 
 to fetch the roll : and he took it out of 
 the chamber of Elishama the scribe. 
 And Jehudi read it in the ears of the 
 king, and in the ears of all the princes 
 
 22 which stood beside the king. Now the 
 king sat in the winter house in the 
 ninth month : and there was a fire in 
 
 23 the brasier burning before him. And 
 it came to pass, when Jehudi had read 
 three or four 1 leaves, that the king cut 
 it with the penknife, and cast it into 
 the fire that was in the brasier, until 
 all the roll was' consumed in the fire 
 
 24 that was in the brasier. And they 
 were not afraid, nor rent their gar- 
 ments, neither the king, nor any of his 
 servants that heard all these words. 
 
 25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiali and 
 Gemariah had made intercession to the 
 king that he would not burn the roll : 
 
 26 but he would not hear them. And the 
 king commanded Jeralimeel 2 the king’s 
 son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and 
 Slielemiah the son of Abdeel, to take 
 Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the 
 prophet : but the Loud hid them. 
 
 27 Then the word of the Lord came to 
 Jeremiah, after that the king had 
 burned the roll, and the words which 
 Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, 
 
 28 saying, Take thee again another roll, 
 and write in it all the former words 
 that were in the first roll, which 
 Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath 
 
 29 burned. And concerning Jehoiakim 
 king of Judah thou shalt say, Thus 
 saith the Lord: Thou hast burned 
 this roll, saying, Why hast thou written 
 therein, saying, The king of Babylon 
 shall certainly come and destroy this 
 land, and shall cause to cease from 
 
 30 thence man and beast ? Therefore thus 
 saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim 
 king of Judah : He shall have none to 
 sit upon the throne of David: and his 
 dead body shall be cast out in the day 
 to the heat, and in the night to the 
 
 31 frost. And I will punish him and his 
 
 seed and his servants for their iniquity ; 
 and I will bring upon them, and upon 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and ui)- 
 on the men of Judah, all the evil that 
 I have pronounced against them, but 
 
 32 they hearkened not. Then took Je- 
 remiah another roll, and gave it to 
 Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriali; 
 who wrote therein from the mouth of 
 Jeremiah all the words of the book 
 which Jehoiakim king of Judah had 
 burned in the fire : and there were added 
 besides unto them many like words. 
 
 ST And Zedekiali the son of Josiali 
 reigned as king, instead of 3 Coniah the 
 son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrez- 
 zar king of Babylon made king in the 
 
 2 land of Judah. But neither he, nor 
 his servants, nor the people of the 
 land, did hearken unto the words of 
 the Lord, which he spake by the 
 prophet Jeremiah. 
 
 3 And Zedekiali the king sent Jeliucal 
 the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniali 
 the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the 
 prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now 
 
 4 unto the Lord our God for us. Now 
 Jeremiah came in and went out among 
 the people : for they had not put him 
 
 5 into prison. And Pharaoh’s army was 
 come forth out of Egypt: and when 
 the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem 
 heard tidings of them, they brake up 
 
 6 from Jerusalem. Then came the word 
 of the Lord unto the prophet Jeremiah, 
 
 7 saying, Thus saith the Lord, the God 
 of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the 
 king of Judah, that sent you unto me 
 to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s 
 army, which is come forth to help you, 
 shall return to Egypt into their own 
 
 8 land. And the Chaldeans shall come 
 again, and fight against this city ; and 
 they shall take it, and burn it with fire. 
 
 9 Thus saith the Lord: Deceive not 
 4 y ourselves, saying,The Chaldeans shall 
 surely depart from us : for they shall 
 
 10 not depart. Eor though ye had smitten 
 the whole army of the Chaldeans that 
 fight against you, and there remained 
 but 5 wounded men among them, yet 
 should they rise up every man in his 
 tent, and burn this city with fire. 
 
 11 And it came to pass that when the 
 army of the Chaldeans was broken up 
 from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s 
 
 12 army, then Jeremiah went forth out of 
 Jerusalem to go into the land of Ben- 
 jamin, to receive his portion G there, in 
 
 13 the midst of the people. And when he 
 was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain 
 of the ward was there, whose name 
 was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the 
 son of Hananiah ; and he laid hold on 
 Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou 
 
 14fallest away to the Chaldeans. Then 
 said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not 
 away to the Chaldeans ; but he heart

 but mire: and Jeremiah sank in the 
 
 
 
 Jeremiah, and brought him to the 
 
 7 mire. Now when Ebed-melecli the 
 
 
 
 15 princes. And the princes were wroth 
 
 Ethiopian, an eunuch, which was in 
 
 
 
 with Jeremiah, and smote him,' and 
 
 the king’s house, heard that they had 
 
 
 
 put him in prison in the house of 
 
 put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the 
 
 
 
 Jonathan the scribe; for they had 
 
 king then sitting in the gate of Ben- 
 
 
 
 16 made that the prison. When Jeremiah 
 
 Sjamin; Ebed-melech went forth out 
 
 
 1 Or, 
 
 was come into the 1 dungeon house, 
 
 of the king’s house, and spake to the 
 
 
 £>«# eof 
 
 and into the cells, and Jeremiah had 
 
 9 king, saying, My lord the king, these 
 
 
 2 
 
 17 remained there many days ; then Zed- 
 
 men have done evil in all that they have 
 
 
 
 ekiah the king sent, and fetched him : 
 
 done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom 
 
 
 
 and the king asked him secretly in his 
 
 they have cast into the dungeon ; and 
 
 
 
 house, and said, Is there any word 
 
 5 he is like to die in the place where 
 
 5 Heb. he 
 
 
 from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, 
 
 he is because of the famine : for there 
 
 is dead. 
 
 
 There is. He said also, Thou shalt be 
 
 10 is no more bread in the city. Then 
 
 
 
 delivered into the hand of the king 
 
 the king commanded Ebed-melech the 
 
 
 
 18 of Babylon. Moreover Jeremiah said 
 
 Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence 
 
 
 
 unto king Zedekiah, Wherein have I 
 
 thirty men with thee, and take up 
 
 
 
 sinned against thee, or against thy 
 
 Jeremiah the prophet out of the dun- 
 
 
 
 servants, or against this people, that ye 
 
 llgeon, before he die. So Ebed-melech 
 
 
 
 19 have put me in prison ? Where now are 
 
 took the men with him, and went into 
 
 
 
 your prophets which prophesied unto 
 
 the house of the king under the trea- 
 
 
 
 you, saying, The king of Babylon shall 
 
 sury, and took thence old cast clouts 
 
 
 
 not come against you, nor against this 
 
 and old rotten rags, and let them down 
 
 
 
 20 land? And now hear, I pray thee, 0 
 
 by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 
 
 
 
 my lord the king : let my supplication, 
 
 12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said 
 
 
 2 Heb. 
 
 I pray thee, 2 be accepted before thee; 
 
 unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast 
 
 
 fall. 
 
 that thou cause me not to return to 
 
 clouts and rotten rags under thine 
 
 
 
 the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest 
 
 armholes under the cords. And Jerem- 
 
 
 
 211 die there. Then Zedekiah the king 
 
 13 iah did so. So they drew up Jeremiah 
 
 
 
 commanded, and they committed Je- 
 
 with the cords, and took him up out of 
 
 
 
 remiah into the court of the guard, 
 
 the dungeon : and Jeremiah remained 
 
 
 
 and they gave him daily a loaf of 
 
 in the court of the guard. 
 
 
 
 bread out of the bakers’ street, until 
 
 14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and 
 
 
 
 all the bread in the city was spent. 
 
 took Jeremiah the prophet unto him 
 
 
 
 Thus Jeremiah remained in the court 
 
 into the third entry that is in the 
 
 
 
 of the guard. 
 
 house of the Lord : and the king said 
 
 
 
 33 And Sliepliatiah the son of Mattan, 
 
 unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing ; 
 
 
 
 and Gedaliali the son of Paslihur, and 
 
 15 hide nothing from me. Then Jeremiah 
 
 
 
 Jucal the son of Slielemiah, and Pash- 
 
 said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto 
 
 
 
 liur the son of Malcliiali, heard the 
 
 thee, wilt thou not surely put me to 
 
 
 
 words that Jeremiah spake unto all 
 
 death ? and if I give thee counsel, thou 
 
 
 
 2 the people, saying, Thus saith the 
 
 16 wilt not hearken unto me. So Zedekiah 
 
 
 
 Lord, He that abidetli in this city 
 
 the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, 
 
 
 
 shall die by the sword, by the famine, 
 
 saying, As the Lord livetli, that made 
 
 
 
 and by the pestilence: but he that 
 
 us this soul, I will not put thee to death, 
 
 
 
 goetli forth to the Chaldeans shall 
 
 neither will I give thee into the hand 
 
 
 
 live, and his life shall be unto him for 
 
 17 of these men that seek thy life. Then 
 
 
 
 3 a prey, and he shall live. Thus saith 
 
 said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus 
 
 
 
 the Lord, This city shall surely be 
 
 saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the 
 
 
 
 given into the hand of the army of the 
 
 God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth 
 
 
 
 king of Babylon, and he shall take it. 
 
 unto the king of Babylon’s princes, 
 
 
 
 4 Then the princes said unto the king, 
 
 then thy soul shall live, and this city 
 
 
 
 Let this man, we pray thee, be put to 
 
 shall not be burned with fire; and 
 
 
 
 death; forasmuch as he weakeneth 
 
 18 thou shalt live, and thine house : but 
 
 
 
 the hands of the men of war that re- 
 
 if thou wilt not go forth to the king of 
 
 
 
 main in this city, and the hands of all 
 
 Babylon’s princes, then shall this city 
 
 
 
 the people, in speaking such words 
 
 be given into the hand of the Chal- 
 
 
 
 unto them : for this man seeketh not 
 
 deans, and they shall burn it with fire, 
 
 
 
 the welfare of this people, but the 
 
 and thou shalt not escape out of their

 unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the

 Jews that are fallen away to the Chal-

 21 soul sliall live. But if tliou refuse to 
 go forth, this is the word that the 
 
 22 Lord hath shewed me: Behold, all 
 the women that are left in the king of 
 Judah’s house shall be brought forth 
 to the king of Babylon’s princes, and 
 those women shall say, 1 Tliy familiar 
 friends have 2 set thee on, and have 
 prevailed over thee : now that thy feet 
 are sunk in the mire, they are turned 
 
 23 away back. And they shall bring out 
 all thy wives and thy children to the 
 Chaldeans : and thou shalt not escape 
 out of their hand, but shalt be taken 
 by the hand of the king of Babylon : 
 and 3 thou shalt cause this city to be 
 
 24 burned with fire. Then said Zedekiali 
 unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of 
 these words, and thou shalt not die. 
 
 25 But if the princes hear that I have 
 talked with thee, and they come unto 
 thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto 
 us now wliat thou hast said unto the 
 king; hide it not from us, and we will 
 not put thee to death : also what the 
 
 26 king said unto thee : then thou shalt 
 say unto them, I 4 presented my sup- 
 plication before the king, that he 
 would not cause me to return to 
 
 27 Jonathan’s house, to die there. Then 
 came all the princes unto Jeremiah, 
 and asked him : and he told them ac- 
 cording to all these words that the 
 king had commanded. So they left 
 off speaking with him ; for the matter 
 
 28 was not 5 perceived. So Jeremiah a- 
 bode in the court of the guard until 
 the day that Jerusalem was taken. 
 
 And it came to pass when Jeru- 
 39 salem was taken, 6 (in the ninth year of 
 Zedekiali king of Judah, in the tenth 
 month, came Nebuchadrezzar king 
 of Babylon . and all his army against 
 
 2 Jerusalem, and besieged it; in the 
 eleventh year of Zedekiali, in the fourth 
 month, the ninth day of the month, 
 
 3 a breach was made in the city:) that 
 all the princes of the king of Babylon 
 came in, and sat in the middle gate, 
 even Nergal-sliarezer, Samgar-nebo, 
 Sarsecliim, 7 Rab-saris, Nergal-shar- 
 ezer, 7 Rab-mag, with all the rest of 
 the princes of the king of Babylon. 
 
 4 And it came to pass that when Zedek- 
 iali the king of Judah and all the 
 men of war saw them, then they fled, 
 and went forth out of the city by 
 night, by the way of the king’s garden, 
 by the gate betwixt the two walls : and 
 he went out the way of the Arabali. 
 
 5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued 
 after them, and overtook Zedekiali in 
 the plains of Jericho : and when they 
 had taken him, they brought him up 
 to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to 
 Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he 
 
 6 8 gave judgement upon him. Then the 
 king of Babylon slew the sons of Zed- 
 ekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also 
 
 the king of Babylon slew all the nobles 
 
 7 of Judah. Moreover he put out Zedek- 
 iah’s eyes, and bound him in fetters, 
 
 8 to carry him to Babylon. And. the 
 Chaldeans burned the king’s house, 
 and the houses of the people, with fire, 
 and brake down the walls of Jeru- 
 
 9 salem. Then Nebuzaradan the 9 capt- 
 ain of the guard carried away captive 
 into Babylon the residue of the people 
 that remained in the city, the de- 
 serters also, that fell away to him, 
 and the residue of the people that re- 
 
 10 mained. But Nebuzaradan the capt- 
 ain of the guard left of the poor of 
 the people, which had nothing, in the 
 land of Judah, and gave them vine- 
 yards and fields at the same time. 
 
 11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
 gave charge concerning Jeremiah to 
 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, 
 
 12 saying, Take him, and look well to 
 him, and do him no harm; but do 
 unto him even as he shall say unto 
 
 13 thee. So Nebuzaradan the captain of 
 the guard sent, and Nebusliazban, 
 Rab-saris, and Nergal-sliarezer, Rab- 
 mag, and all the chief officers of the 
 
 14 king of Babylon; they sent, and took 
 Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, 
 and committed him unto Gedaliah the 
 son of Aliikam, the son of Shaplian, 
 that he should carry him home: so 
 he dwelt among the people. 
 
 15 Now the word of the Lord came unto 
 Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the 
 
 16 court of the guard, saying, Go, and speak 
 to Ebed-melecli the Ethiopian, saying, 
 Thus saitli the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel : Behold, I will bring my words 
 upon this city for evil, and not for good ; 
 and they 10 shall be accomplished before 
 
 17 thee in that day. But I will deliver thee 
 in that day, saith the Lord : and thou 
 shalt not be given into the hand of the 
 
 18 men of whom thou art afraid. For I will 
 surely save thee, and thou shalt not fall 
 by the sword, but thy life shall be for 
 a prey unto thee: because thou hast 
 put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. 
 
 40 The word which came to Jeremiah 
 from the Lord, after that Nebuzar- 
 adan the captain of the guard had let 
 him go from Ramali, when he had 
 taken him being bound in chains a- 
 mong all the captives of Jerusalem 
 and Judah, which were carried away 
 
 2 captive unto Babylon. And the capt- 
 ain of the guard took Jeremiah, and 
 said unto him, The Lord thy God pro- 
 
 3 nounced this evil upon this place : and 
 the Lord hath brought it, and done 
 according as he spake; because ye 
 have sinned against the Lord, and 
 have not obeyed his voice, therefore 
 
 4 this thing is come upon you. And 
 now, behold, I loose thee this day from 
 the chains which are upon thine hand.

 If it seem good unto thee to come with

 me into Babylon, come, and I will look 
 
 15 them not. Then Johanan the son of 
 
 
 
 well unto thee ; but if it seem ill unto 
 
 Iiareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah 
 
 
 
 thee to come with me into Babylon, 
 
 secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray 
 
 
 
 forbear: behold, all the land is before 
 
 thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of 
 
 
 
 thee; whither it seemetli good and

 1 Or, 
 
 1 convenient unto thee to go, thither 
 
 wherefore should he take thy life, that 
 
 
 right 
 
 5 go. Now while he was not yet gone 
 
 all the Jews which are gathered unto 
 
 
 
 back, Go back then, said he , to Ge- 
 
 thee should be scattered, and the rem- 
 
 
 
 daliah the son of Ahikam, the son of

 hath made governor over the cities of 
 
 the son of Kareah, Thou slialt not do

 Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of 
 
 
 
 the son of Ahikam governor in the 
 
 Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, 
 
 
 
 land, and had committed unto him 
 
 whom the king of Babylon had made 
 
 
 4 Or, even 
 
 men, and women, and children, 4 and of 
 
 3 governor over the land. Ishmael also 
 
 
 
 the poorest of the land, of them that 
 
 slew all the Jews that were with him, 
 
 
 
 were not carried away captive to 
 
 even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the 
 
 
 
 8 Babylon ; then they came to Gedaliah 
 
 Chaldeans that were found there, even 
 
 
 
 to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of 
 
 4 the men of war. And it came to pass 
 
 
 
 Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jona- 
 
 the second day after he had slain Ge- 
 
 
 
 than the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah 
 
 5 daliah, and no man knew it, that there 
 
 
 
 the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of 
 
 came certain from Shechem, from Shi- 
 
 
 
 Epliai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah 
 
 loh, and from Samaria, even fourscore 
 
 
 
 the son of the Maacathite, they and 
 
 men, having then* beards shaven and 
 
 
 
 9 their men. And Gedaliah the son of 
 
 their clothes rent, and having cut them- 
 
 
 
 Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto 
 
 selves, with 6 oblations and frankincense 
 
 Or, 
 
 
 them and to their men, saying, Fear 
 
 in their hand, to bring them to the house 
 
 meal 
 
 offerings 
 
 
 not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in 
 
 6 of the Loed. And Ishmael the son of 
 
 
 
 the land, and serve the king of Baby- 
 
 Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to 
 
 
 
 10 Ion, and it shall be well with you. As 
 
 meet them, weeping all along as he 
 
 
 
 for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, 
 
 went : and it came to pass, as he met 
 
 
 
 to stand before the Chaldeans, which 
 
 them, he said unto them, Come to Ge- 
 
 
 
 shall come unto us: but ye, gather 
 
 7 daliah the son of Ahikam. And it was 
 
 
 
 ye wine and summer fruits and oil, 
 
 so, when they came into the midst 
 
 
 
 and put them in your vessels, and 
 
 of the city, that Ishmael the son of 
 
 
 
 dwell in your cities that ye have taken. 
 
 Nethaniah slew them, and cast them 
 
 
 
 11 Likewise when all the Jews that were 
 
 into the midst of the pit, he, and the 
 
 
 
 in Moab, and among the children of 
 
 8 men that were with him. But ten men 
 
 
 
 Ammon, and in Edom, and that were 
 
 were found among them that said unto 
 
 
 
 in all the countries, heard that the 
 
 Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have 
 
 
 
 king of Babylon had left a remnant of 
 
 stores hidden in the field, of wheat, 
 
 
 
 Judah, and that he had set over them 
 
 and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. 
 
 
 
 Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son 
 
 So he forbare, and slew them not among 
 
 
 
 12 of Shaphan; thon all the Jews re- 
 
 9 their brethren. Now the pit wherein 
 
 
 
 turned out of all places whither they 
 
 Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the 
 
 
 
 were driven, and came to the land of 
 
 men whom he had slain, by the side 
 
 
 
 Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and 
 
 of Gedaliah, (the same was that which 
 
 
 
 gathered wine and summer fruits very

 13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, 
 
 son of Nethaniah filled it with them 
 
 
 
 and all the captains of the forces that 
 
 10 that were slain. Then Ishmael carried 
 
 
 
 were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to 
 
 away captive all the residue of the peo- 
 
 
 
 14 Mizpah, and said unto him, Dost thou 
 
 ple that were in Mizpah, even the king’s 
 
 
 
 know that Baalis the king of the child- 
 
 daughters, and all the people that re- 
 
 
 
 ren of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the 
 
 mained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan

 son of Nethaniah to take thy life? But 
 
 the captain of the guard had committed

 to Gedaliah the son of Aliikam: Isli- 
 
 it be evil, we will obey the voice of 
 
 
 
 inael the son of Nethaniah carried 
 
 the Lord our God, to whom we send 
 
 
 
 them away captive, and departed to go 
 
 thee; that it may be well with us, 
 
 
 
 over to the children of Ammon. 
 
 when we obey the voice of the Lord 
 
 
 
 11 But when Johanan the son of Ka- 
 
 our God. 
 
 
 
 reali, and all the captains of the forces 
 
 7 And it came to pass after ten days, 
 
 
 
 that were with him, heard of all the 
 
 that the word of the Lord came unto 
 
 
 
 evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 
 
 8 Jeremiah. Then called he Johanan 
 
 
 
 12 had done, then they took all the men, 
 
 the son of Kareah, and all the captains 
 
 
 
 and went to fight with Ishmael the son 
 
 of the forces which were with him, and 
 
 
 
 of Nethaniah, and found him by the 
 
 all the people from the least even to 
 
 
 
 13 great waters that are in Gibeon. Now 
 
 9 the greatest, and said unto them, Thus 
 
 
 
 it came to pass that when all the 
 
 saith the Lord, the God of Israel, 
 
 
 
 people which were with Ishmael saw 
 
 unto whom ye sent me to 5 present 
 
 5 Or, lay 
 
 
 Johanan the son of Kareah, and all 
 
 10 your supplication before him: If ye 
 
 
 
 the captains of the forces that were 
 
 will still abide in this land, then will 
 
 
 
 14 with him, then they were glad. So all 
 
 I build you, and not pull you down, 
 
 
 
 the people that Ishmael had carried 
 
 and I will plant you, and not pluck you 
 
 
 
 away captive from Mizpah cast about 
 
 up : for I repent me of the evil that I 
 
 
 
 and returned, and went unto Johanan 
 
 11 have done unto you. Be not afraid of 
 
 
 
 15 the son of Kareah. But Ishmael the 
 
 the king of Babylon, of whom ye are 
 
 
 
 son of Nethaniah escaped from Jo- 
 
 afraid ; be not afraid of him, saith the 
 
 
 
 hanan with eight men, and went to 
 
 Lord : for I am with you to save you, 
 
 
 
 16 the children of Ammon. Then took 
 
 12 and to deliver you from his hand. And 
 
 
 
 Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the 
 
 I will grant you mercy, that he may 
 
 
 
 captains of the forces that were with 
 
 have mercy upon you, and cause you 
 
 
 
 him, all the remnant of the people 
 
 13 to return to your own land. But if ye 
 
 
 
 whom he had recovered from Ishmael 
 
 say, We will not dwell in this land; so 
 
 
 
 the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, 
 
 that ye obey not the voice of the Lord 
 
 
 
 after that he had slain Gedaliah the 
 
 14 your God; saying, No; but we will go 
 
 
 
 son of Aliikam, even the men of war, 
 
 into the land of Egypt, where we shall 
 
 
 
 and the women, and the children, and 
 
 see no war, nor hear the sound of the 
 
 
 
 the eunuchs, whom he had brought 
 
 trumpet, nor have hunger of bread;

 unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we

 pray thee, our supplication 3 be ac-

 habitants of Jerusalem, so shall my 
 
 
 
 and the thing that we should do. 
 
 fury be poured forth upon you, when 
 
 
 
 4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto 
 
 ye shall enter into Egypt : and ye shall 
 
 
 
 them, I have heard you ; behold, I will 
 
 be an execration, and an astonishment, 
 
 
 
 pray unto the Lord your God accord- 
 
 and a curse, and a reproach ; and ye 
 
 
 
 ing to your words ; and it shall come

 Lord hath spoken concerning you, 0 
 
 
 
 Lord shall answer you, I will declare 
 
 remnant of Judah, Go ye not into E- 
 
 
 
 it unto you ; I will keep nothing back 
 
 gypt : know certainly that I have testi- 
 
 
 
 5 from you. Then they said to Jeremiah, 
 
 20 tied unto you this day. For ye have 
 
 
 
 The Lord be a true and faithful wit- 
 
 dealt deceitfully 7 against your own 
 
 " Or, 
 
 4 Or, 
 
 ness 4 amongst us, if we do not even 
 
 souls; for ye sent me unto the Lord 
 
 in your 
 souls 
 
 against 
 
 according to all the word wherewith 
 
 your God, saying, Pray for us unto the 
 
 
 
 the Lord thy God shall send thee to 
 
 Lord our God ; and according unto all 
 
 
 
 6 us. Whether it be good, or whether

 21 declare unto us, and we will do it : and 
 I liave this day declared it to you ; but 
 ye have not obeyed the voice of the 
 Loud your God in any thing for the 
 
 22 Avhicli lie hath sent me unto you. Now 
 therefore know certainly that ye shall 
 die by the sword, by the famine, and 
 by the pestilence, in the place -whither 
 ye desire to go to sojourn there. 
 
 43 And it came to pass that when 
 Jeremiah had made an end of speak- 
 ing unto all the people all the words of 
 the Lord their God, wherewith the 
 Lord their God had sent him to them, 
 
 2 even all these words, then spake Azar- 
 iah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan 
 the son of Kareah, and all the proud 
 men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou 
 speakest falsely: the Lord our God 
 hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not 
 
 3 go into Egypt to sojourn there: but 
 Baruch the son of Neriali setteth thee 
 on against us, for to deliver us into 
 the hand of the Chaldeans, that they 
 may put us to death, and carry us away 
 
 4 captives to Babylon. So Johanan the 
 son of Kareah, and all the captains of 
 the forces, and all the people, obeyed 
 not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in 
 
 5 the land of Judah. But Johanan the 
 son of Kareah, and all the captains of 
 the forces, took all the remnant of Ju- 
 dah, that were returned from all the 
 nations whither they had been driven 
 
 6 to sojourn in the land of Judah ; the 
 men, and the women, and the children, 
 and the king’s daughters, and every per- 
 son that Nebuzaradan the captain of 
 the guard had left with Gedaliah the 
 son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, 
 and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch 
 
 7 the son of Neriah ; and they came into 
 the land of Egypt ; for they obeyed not 
 the voice of the Lord : and they came 
 
 8 even to Tahpanhes. Then came the 
 word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in 
 
 9 Tahpanhes, saying, Take great stones 
 in thine hand, and i-hide them in 
 mortar in the brickwork, which is 
 at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in 
 Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of 
 
 10 Judah ; and say unto them, Thus saitli 
 the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 
 Behold, I will send and take Nebu- 
 chadrezzar the king of Babylon, my 
 servant, and will set his throne upon 
 these stones that I have hid ; and he 
 shall spread his 2 royal pavilion over 
 
 11 them. And he shall come, and shall 
 smite the land of Egypt ; such as are 
 for death shall he given to death, and 
 such as are for captivity to captivity, 
 and such as are for the sword to the 
 
 12 sword. And I will kindle a fire in the 
 houses of the gods of Egypt ; and he 
 shall burn them, and carry them away 
 captives: and he shall array himself 
 with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd 
 putteth on his garment ; and he shall 
 
 13 go forth from thence in peace. He 
 shall also break the 3 pillars of 4 Beth- 
 shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt ; 
 and the houses of the gods of Egypt 
 shall he burn with fire. 
 
 44 The word that came to Jeremiah 
 concerning all the Jews which dwelt 
 in the land of Egypt, which dwelt at 
 Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at 
 Noph, and in the country of Pathros, 
 
 2 saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
 the God of Israel : Ye have seen all the 
 evil that I have brought upon Jerusa- 
 lem, and upon all the cities of Judah ; 
 and, behold, this day they are a desol- 
 ation, and no man dwelleth therein; 
 
 3 because of their wickedness which 
 they have committed to provoke me 
 to anger, in that they went to burn 
 incense, and to serve other gods, 
 whom they knew not, neither they, 
 
 4 nor ye, nor your fathers. Howbeit I 
 sent unto you all my servants the 
 prophets, rising up early and sending 
 them, saying, Oh, do not this abomin- 
 
 5 able thing that I hate. But they 
 hearkened not, nor inclined their ear 
 to turn from their wickedness, to burn 
 
 6 no incense unto other gods. Where- 
 fore my fury and mine anger was 
 poured forth, and was kindled in the 
 cities of Judah and in the streets of 
 Jerusalem; and they are wasted and 
 
 7 desolate, as it is this day. Therefore 
 now thus saith the Lord, the God of 
 hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore 
 commit ye this great evil against your 
 own souls, to cut off from you man and 
 woman, infant and suckling, out of 
 the midst of Judah, to leave you none 
 
 8 remaining ; in that ye provoke me un- 
 to anger with the works of your hands, 
 burning incense unto other gods in the 
 land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to 
 sojourn ; that ye may be cut off, and 
 that ye may be a curse and a reproach 
 among all the nations of the earth? 
 
 9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of 
 your fathers, and the wickedness of the 
 kings of Judah, and the wickedness of 
 their wives, and your own wickedness, 
 and the wickedness of your wives, 
 which they committed in the land of 
 Judah, and in the streets of Jerusa- 
 
 10 lem ? They are not humbled even un- 
 to this day, neither have they feared, 
 nor walked in my law, nor in my 
 statutes, that I set before you and 
 
 11 before your fathers. Therefore thus 
 saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
 Israel: Behold, I will set my face 
 against you for evil, even to cut off all 
 
 12 Judah. And I will take the remnant 
 of Judah, that have set their faces to 
 go into the land of Egypt to sojourn 
 there, and they shall all be consumed ; 
 in the land of Egypt shall they fall ; 
 they shall be consumed by the sword

 the least even unto the greatest, by 
 the sword and by the fa mine: and they 
 shall be an execration, and an astonish- 
 ment, and a curse, and a reproach. 
 
 13 For I will punish them that dwell in 
 the land of Egypt, as I have punished 
 Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, 
 
 14 and by the pestilence : so that none of 
 the remnant of Judah, which are gone 
 into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, 
 shall escape or remain, that they should 
 return into the land of Judah, to the 
 which they 1 have a desire to return to 
 dwell there : for none shall return save 
 such as shall escape. 
 
 15 Then all the men which knew that 
 their wives burned incense unto other 
 gods, and all the women that stood by, 
 a great assembly, even all the people 
 that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in 
 Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 16 As for the word that thou hast spoken 
 unto us in the name of the Lord, we 
 
 17 will not hearken unto thee. But we 
 will certainly perform every word that 
 is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn 
 incense unto the queen of heaven, and 
 to pour out drink offerings unto her, 
 as we have done, we and our fathers, 
 our kings and our princes, in the cities 
 of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusa- 
 lem: for then had we plenty of 2 vict- 
 uals, and were well, and saw no evil. 
 
 18 But since we left off to burn incense 
 to the queen of heaven, and to pour 
 out drink offerings unto her, we have 
 wanted all things, and have been con- 
 sumed by the sword and by the famine. 
 
 19 And when we burned incense to the 
 queen of heaven, and poured out 
 drink offerings unto her, did we make 
 her cakes to 3 worship her, and pour 
 out drink offerings unto her, witli- 
 
 20 out our husbands? Then Jeremiah 
 said unto all the people, to the 
 men, and to the women, even to 
 all the people which had given him 
 
 21 that answer, saying, The incense 
 that ye burned in the cities of Ju- 
 dah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, 
 ye and your fathers, your kings and 
 your princes, and the people of the 
 land, did not the Lord remember 
 them, and came it not into his mind ? 
 
 22 so that the Lord could no longer 
 bear, because of the evil of your do- 
 ings, and because of the abominations 
 which ye have committed; therefore 
 is your land become a desolation, and 
 an astonishment, and a curse, with- 
 out inhabitant, as it is this day. 
 
 23 Because ye have burned incense, and 
 because ye have sinned against the 
 Lord, and have not obeyed the voice 
 of the Lord, nor walked in his law, 
 nor in his statutes, nor in his testimo- 
 nies; therefore this evil is happened 
 unto you, as it is this day. 
 
 24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the 
 people, and to all the women, Hear the 
 word of the Lord, all Judah that are 
 
 25 in the land of Egypt: thus saitli the 
 Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying : 
 
 Ye and your wives have both spoken 
 with your mouths, and with your hands 
 have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely 
 perform our vows that we have vowed, 
 to burn incense to the queen of heaven, 
 and to pour out drink offerings unto 
 her: establish then your vows, and 
 
 26 perform your vows. Therefore hear ye 
 the word of the Lord, all Judah 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 Ju- 
 dah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As 
 
 27 the Lord God liveth. Behold, I watch 
 over them for evil, and not for good : 
 and all the men of Judah that are in 
 the land of Egypt shall be consumed 
 by the sword and by the famine, until 
 
 28 there be an end of them. And they 
 that escape the sword shall return out 
 of the land of Egypt into the land of 
 Judah, few in number; and all the 
 remnant of Judah, that are gone into 
 the land of Egypt to sojourn there, 
 shall know whose word shall stand, 
 
 29 mine, or theirs. And this shall be the 
 sign unto you, saith the Lord, that I 
 will punish you in this place, that ye 
 may know that my words shall surely 
 
 30 stand against you for evil : thus saitli 
 the Lord : Behold, I will give Pharaoh 
 Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of 
 his enemies, and into the hand of them 
 that seek his life ; as I gave Zedekiah 
 king of Judah into the hand of Nebu- 
 chadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, 
 and that sought his life. 
 
 45 The word that Jeremiah the prophet 
 spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, 
 when he wrote these words in a book 
 at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth 
 year of Jelioiakim the son of Josiah, 
 
 2 king of Judah, saying, Thus saith the 
 Lord, the God of Israel, 4 unto thee, 0 4 Or ,eon- 
 3 Baruch: Thou didst say, Woe is me cerm ” ;? 
 now ! for the Lord hath added sorrow 
 to my pain; 5 1 am weary with my 5 See Ps. 
 4 groaning, and I find no rest. Thus v1 ' 6 
 shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith 
 the Lord : Behold, that which I have 
 built will I break down, and that 
 which I have planted I will pluck 
 5 up; and this in the whole land. And 
 seekest thou great things for thyself? 
 seek them not : for, behold, I will bring 
 evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: 
 but thy life will I give unto thee for 
 a prey in all places whither thou 
 goest. 
 
 46 The word of the Lord which came to 
 Jeremiah the prophet concerning the 
 nations.

 waters toss themselves like the rivers ? 
 
 8 Egypt riseth up like the Nile, and his 
 waters toss themselves like the rivers : 
 and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover 
 the earth ; I will destroy the city and 
 
 9 the inhabitants thereof. Go up, ye 
 horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the 
 mighty men go forth : Cush and Put, 
 that handle the shield ; and the Ludim, 
 
 10 that handle and bend the bow. For 
 that day is a day of the Lord, the 
 Lord of hosts, a day of vengeance, that 
 he may avenge him of his adversaries : 
 and the sword shall devour and be 
 satiate, and shall drink its fill of their 
 blood : for the Lord, the Lord of hosts, 
 hath a sacrifice in the north country 
 
 11 by the river Euphrates. Go up into 
 Gilead, and take balm, 0 virgin daugh- 
 ter of Egypt: in vain dost thou use 
 many medicines; there is no healing 
 
 12 for thee. The nations have heard of 
 thy shame, and the earth is full of 
 thy cry: for the mighty man hath 
 stumbled against the mighty, they are 
 fallen both of them together. 
 
 13 The word that the Lord spake to 
 Jeremiah the prophet, how that Ne- 
 buchadrezzar king of Babylon should 
 come and smite the land of Egypt. 
 
 14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish 
 in Migdol, and publish in Noph and 
 in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand forth, 
 and prepare thee ; for the sword hath 
 
 15 devoured round about thee. 2 Why 
 are thy strong ones swept away? they 
 stood not, because the Lord did 3 drive 
 
 16 them. He made many to stumble, 
 yea, they fell one upon another: and 
 they said, Arise, and let us go again 
 to our own people, and to the land 
 of our nativity, from the oppressing 
 
 17 sword. They cried there, Pharaoh 
 king of Egypt is but a noise ; he hath 
 
 18 let the appointed time pass by. As I 
 live, saith the King, whose name is 
 the Lord of hosts, surely like Tabor 
 
 among the mountains, and like Car- 
 
 19 mel by the sea, so shall he come. 4 0 
 thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, 
 5 furnish thyself to go into captivity: 
 for Noph shall become a desolation, 
 and shall be burnt up, without inhabit- 
 
 20 ant. Egypt is a very fair heifer ; but 
 6 destruction out of the north is come, 
 
 21 7 it is come. Also her hired men in 
 the midst of her are like calves of the 
 stall; for they also are turned back, 
 they are fled away together, they did 
 not stand : for the day of their calam- 
 ity is come upon them, the time of 
 
 22 their visitation. 8 The sound thereof 
 shall go like the serpent; for they 
 shall march with an army, and come 
 against her with axes, as hewers of 
 
 23 wood. They shall cut down her forest, 
 saith the Lord, 9 though it cannot be 
 searched ; because they are more than 
 
 24 the locusts, and are innumerable. The 
 daughter of Egypt shall be put to 
 shame ; she shall be delivered into the 
 
 25 hand of the people of the north. The 
 Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 
 saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of 
 No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her 
 gods, and her kings ; even Pharaoh, and 
 
 26 them that trust in him : and I will de- 
 liver them into the hand of those that 
 seek their lives, and into the hand of 
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and 
 into the hand of his servants: and 
 afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in 
 
 27 the days of old, saith the Lord. 10 But 
 fear not thou, 0 Jacob my servant, 
 neither be dismayed, 0 Israel: for, lo, 
 
 I will save thee from afar, and thy 
 seed from the land of their captivity ; 
 and Jacob shall return, and shall be 
 quiet and at ease, and none shall make 
 
 28 him afraid. Eear not thou, 0 Jacob 
 my servant, saith the Lord ; for I am 
 with thee : for I will make a full end 
 of all the nations whither I have 
 driven thee, but I will not make a full 
 end of thee; but I will correct thee 
 with judgement, and will in no wise 
 
 II leave thee unpunished.

 47 The word of the Lord that came to 
 Jeremiah the prophet concerning the 
 Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote 
 Gaza. 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord : Behold, waters 
 rise up out of the north, and shall 
 become an overflowing stream, and 
 shall overflow the land and all that is 
 therein, the city and them that dwell 
 therein : and the men shall cry, and all 
 the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

 of their valley : how long wilt thou cut 
 
 6 thyself? 0 thou sword of the Lord, 
 how long will it be ere thou be quiet ? 
 put up thyself into thy scabbard ; rest, 
 
 7 and be still. How canst thou be quiet, 
 seeing the Lord hath given 2 thee a 
 charge? against Ashkelon, and against 
 the sea shore, there hath lie appointed 
 it. 
 
 48 Of Moab. Thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto 
 Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim 
 is put to shame, it is taken: 3 Misgab 
 is put to shame and 4 broken down. 
 
 2 The praise of Moab is no more; in 
 Heshbon they have devised evil against 
 her, Come, and let us cut her off from 
 being a nation. Thou also, O Mad- 
 men, shalt be brought to silence ; the 
 
 3 sword shall pursue thee. The sound 
 of a cry from Horonaim, spoiling and 
 
 4 great destruction ! Moab is destroyed ; 
 her little ones have caused a cry to be 
 
 5 heard. 5 For by the ascent of Luhitli 
 with continual weeping shall they go 
 up ; for in the going down of Horonaim 
 they have heard the distress of the cry 
 
 6 of destruction. Flee, save your lives, 
 and be like 6 the heath in the wilder - 
 
 7 ness. For, because thou hast trusted 
 in thy works and in thy treasures, 
 thou also slialt be taken: and Che- 
 mosh shall go forth into captivity, his 
 
 8 priests and liis princes together. And 
 the spoiler shall come upon every city, 
 and no city shall escape; the valley 
 also shall perish, and 7 the plain shall 
 be destroyed ; as the Lord hath spoken. 
 
 9 Give wings unto Moab, 8 that she may 
 fly and get her away: and her cities 
 shall become a desolation, without any 
 
 10 to dwell therein. Cursed be he that 
 doeth the work of the Lord 9 negli- 
 gently, and cursed be he that keepeth 
 
 11 back his sword from blood. Moab 
 hath been at ease from his youth, 
 and he hath settled on his lees, and 
 hath not been emptied from vessel to 
 vessel, neither hath he gone into capt- 
 ivity: therefore his taste remaineth 
 in him, and his scent is not changed. 
 
 12 Therefore, behold, the days come, 
 saith the Lord, that I will send unto 
 him them that 10 pour off, and they 
 shall 10 pour him off; and they shall 
 empty his vessels, and break their 
 
 13 11 bottles in pieces. And Moab shall be 
 ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of 
 Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their 
 
 14 confidence. How say ye, We are 
 mighty men, and valiant men for the 
 
 15 war ? Moab is laid waste, and 12 they are 
 gone up into her cities, and his chosen 
 
 young men are gone down to the 
 slaughter, saith the King, whose name 
 
 16 is the Lord of hosts. The calamity of 
 Moab is near to come, and his afflic- 
 
 17 tion liasteth fast. All ye that are round 
 about him, bemoan him, and all ye 
 that know his name ; say, How is the 
 strong 13 staff broken, the beautiful rod ! 
 
 18 0 thou daughter that 14 dwellest in 
 Dibon, come down from thy glory, and 
 sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab 
 is come up against thee, he hath 
 
 19 destroyed thy strong holds. 0 15 in- 
 habitant of Aroer, stand by the way, 
 and espy: ask him that fleeth, and 
 her that escapetli; say, What hath 
 
 20 been done? Moab is put to shame; 
 for it is 4 broken down: howl and cry; 
 tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid 
 
 21 waste. And judgement is come upon 
 16 the plain country; upon Holon, and 
 upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath; 
 
 22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and 
 
 23 upon Beth-diblathaim ; and upon Kiri- 
 athaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and up- 
 
 24 on Beth-meon ; and upon Keriotli, and 
 upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities 
 
 25 of the land of Moab, far or near. The 
 horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm 
 
 26 is broken, saith the Lord. Make ye 
 him drunken; for he magnified him- 
 self against the Lord : and Moab shall 
 wallow in his vomit, and he also shall 
 
 27 be in derision. For was not Israel 
 a derision unto thee? was he found 
 among thieves? for as often as thou 
 speakest of him, thou waggest the 
 
 28 head. 0 ye inhabitants of Moab, leave 
 the cities, and dwell in the rock ; and 
 be like the dove that maketh her nest 
 
 29 in the sides of the hole's mouth. 17 We 
 have heard of the pride of Moab, that 
 he is very proud; his loftiness, and 
 his pride, and his arrogancy, and 
 
 30 the haughtiness of his heart. I know 
 his wrath, saith the Lord, that it is 
 nought; his boastings have wrought 
 
 31 nothing. 18 Therefore will I howl for 
 Moab ; yea, I will cry out for all Moab : 
 for the men of Kir-heres shall they 
 
 32 mourn. With more than the weeping 
 of Jazer will I weep for thee, 19 O vine 
 of Sibmali : thy branches passed over 
 the sea, they reached even to the sea 
 of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits 
 and upon thy vintage the spoiler is 
 
 33 fallen. 20 And gladness and joy is 
 taken away, from the fruitful field and 
 from the land of Moab; and I have 
 caused wine to cease from the wine- 
 presses : none shall tread with shout- 
 ing; the shouting shall be no shout- 
 
 34 ing. 21 From the cry of Heshbon even 
 unto Elealeh, even unto Jahaz have 
 they uttered their voice, from Zoar 
 even unto Horonaim, 22 to Eglatli- 
 shelishiyah . for the waters of Nimrim 
 
 35 also shall become 23 desolate. More-

 saith the Lord, him that offereth in 
 the high place, and him that burn- 
 
 36 eth incense to his gods. Therefore 
 mine heart soundeth for Moab like 
 pipes, and mine heart soundeth like 
 pipes for the men of Kir-heres : there- 
 fore the abundance that he hath got- 
 
 37 ten is perished. For every head is 
 bald, and every beard clipped: upon 
 all the hands are cuttings, and upon 
 
 38 the loins sackcloth. On all the house- 
 tops of Moab and in the streets there- 
 of there is lamentation every where: 
 for I have broken Moab like a vessel 
 wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord. 
 
 39 How is it broken down! 1 how do 
 they howl! how hath Moab turned 
 the back with shame ! so shall Moab 
 become a derision and a dismaying to 
 
 40 all that are round about him. For 
 thus saith the Lord : Behold, he shall 
 fly as an eagle, and shall spread out 
 
 41 his wings against Moab. 2 Kerioth 
 is taken, and the strong holds are sur- 
 prised, and the heart of the mighty 
 men of Moab at that day shall be as 
 the heart of a woman in her pangs. 
 
 42 And Moab shall be destroyed from 
 being a people, because he hath magni- 
 
 43 fled himself against the Lord. 3 Fear, 
 and the pit, and the snare, are upon 
 thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the 
 
 44 Lord. He that fleeth from the fear 
 shall fall into the pit; and he that 
 getteth up out of the pit shall be taken 
 in the snare : for I will bring upon her, 
 even upon Moab, the year of their 
 
 45 visitation, saith the Lord. 4 They 
 that fled stand without strength under 
 the shadow of Heshbon: 5 for a fire is 
 gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame 
 from the midst of Silion, and hath 
 devoured the corner of Moab, and the 
 crown of the head of the tumultuous 
 
 46 ones. Woe unto thee, 0 Moab! the 
 people of Chemosh is undone : for thy 
 sons are taken away captive, and thy 
 
 47 daughters into captivity. Yet will I 
 6 bring again the captivity of Moab 
 in the latter days, saith the Lord. 
 Thus far is the judgement of Moab. 
 
 49 Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith 
 the Lord : Hath Israel no sons ? hath 
 he no heir? why then doth 7 Malcam 
 8 possess G-ad, and his people dwell in 
 
 2 the cities thereof ? Therefore, behold, 
 the days come, saith the Lord, that I 
 will cause an alarm of war to be heard 
 against Rabbah of the children of 
 Ammon ; and it shall become a desol- 
 ate 9 heap, and her daughters shall be 
 burned with fire: then shall Israel 
 8 possess them that did 8 possess him, 
 
 3 saith the Lord. Howl, 0 Heshbon, 
 for Ai is spoiled ; cry, ye daughters of 
 Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth: la- 
 ment, and run to and fro among the 
 fences ; for 7 Malcam shall go into 
 
 captivity, his priests and his princes 
 4 together. 19 Wherefore gloriest thou in 
 the valleys, thy flowing valley, 0 back- 
 sliding daughter? that trusted in her 
 treasures, saying , Who shall come un- 
 5 to me? Behold, I will bring a fear 
 upon thee, saith the Lord, the Lord 
 of hosts, from all that are round about 
 thee ; and ye shall be driven out every 
 man right forth, and there shall be 
 none to gather up him that wanderetli. 
 
 6 But afterward I will bring again the 
 captivity of the children of Ammon, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 7 Of Edom. Thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? 
 is counsel perished from the prudent ? 
 
 Sis their wisdom vanished? Flee ye, 
 turn back, dwell deep, 0 inhabitants 
 of Dedan ; for I will bring the calamity 
 of Esau upon him, the time that I 
 9 shall visit him. If grapegatherers 
 came to thee, 11 would they not leave 
 some gleaning grapes? if thieves by 
 night, would they not destroy till they 
 
 10 had enough ? But I have made Esau 
 bare, I have uncovered his secret 
 places, and he shall not be able to 
 hide himself : his seed is spoiled, 
 and his brethren, and his neighbours, 
 
 Hand he is not. Leave thy fatherless 
 children, I will preserve them alive; 
 
 12 and let thy widows trust in me. For 
 thus saith the Lord: Behold, they 
 12 to whom it pertained not to drink 
 of the cup shall assuredly drink ; and 
 art thou he that shall altogether go 
 unpunished? thou shalt not go un- 
 punished, but thou shalt surely drink. 
 
 13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the 
 Lord, that Bozrah shall become an 
 astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and 
 a curse; and all the cities thereof 
 
 14 shall be perpetual wastes. 13 1 have 
 heard tidings from the Lord, and an 
 ambassador is sent among the nations, 
 saying , Gather yourselves together, 
 and come against her, and rise up to 
 
 15 the battle. For, behold, I have made 
 thee small among the nations, and de- 
 
 16 spised among men. As for thy terrible- 
 ness, the pride of thine heart hath de- 
 ceived thee, 0 thou that dwellest in 
 the clefts of 14 the rock, that holdest 
 the height of the hill : though thou 
 shouldest make thy nest as high as 
 the eagle, I will bring thee down from 
 
 17 thence, saith the Lord. And Edom 
 shall become an astonishment: every 
 one that passeth by it shall be aston- 
 ished, and shall hiss at all the plagues 
 
 18 thereof. As in the overthrow of Sodom 
 and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities 
 thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall 
 dwell there, neither shall any son of 
 
 19 man sojourn therein. Behold, he shall 
 come up like a lion from the 15 pride of 
 Jordan 16 against the strong habitation :

 time? and who is the shepherd that 
 
 20 will stand before me ? Therefore hear 
 ye the counsel of the Lord, that he 
 hath taken against Edom; and his 
 purposes, that he hath purposed a- 
 gainst the inhabitants of Teman: Sure- 
 ly 2 they shall drag them away, even 
 the little ones of the flock ; surely he 
 shall make their 3 habitation 4 desol- 
 
 21 ate with them. The earth trembleth 
 at the noise of their fall; there is a 
 cry, the noise whereof is heard in the 
 
 22 Red Sea. Behold, he shall come up 
 and fly as the eagle, and spread out 
 his wings against Bozrah: and the 
 heart of the mighty men of Edom at 
 that day shall be as the heart of a 
 woman in her pangs. 
 
 23 Of Damascus. Hamath is ashamed, 
 and Arpad; for they have heard evil 
 tidings, they are melted away: there 
 is 5 sorrow on the sea; it cannot be 
 
 24 quiet. Damascus is waxed feeble, she 
 turneth herself to flee, and trembling 
 hath seized on her: anguish and sor- 
 rows have taken hold of her, as of a 
 
 25 woman in travail. How is the city of 
 j>raise not forsaken, the city of my joy ? 
 
 26 Therefore her young men shall fall in 
 her streets, and all the men of war shall 
 be brought to silence in that day, saith 
 
 27 the Lord of hosts. And I will kindle 
 a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it 
 shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 
 
 28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of 
 Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of 
 Babylon smote. 
 
 Thus saith the Lord: Arise ye, go 
 up to Kedar, and spoil the children 
 
 29 of the east. Their tents and their 
 flocks shall they take ; they shall carry 
 away for themselves their curtains, 
 and all their vessels, and their camels : 
 and they shall cry unto them, Terror 
 
 30 on every side. Flee ye, wander far 
 off, dwell deep, 0 ye inhabitants of 
 Hazor, saith the Lord ; for Nebuchad- 
 rezzar king of Babylon hath taken 
 counsel against you, and hath con- 
 
 31 ceived a purpose against you. Arise, 
 get you up unto a nation that is at 
 ease, that dwelleth without care, saith 
 the Lord ; which have neither gates 
 
 32 nor bars, which dwell alone. And their 
 camels shall be a booty, and the mult- 
 itude of their cattle a spoil: and I 
 will scatter unto all winds them that 
 have the corners of their hair polled; 
 and I will bring their calamity from 
 every side of them, saith the Lord. 
 
 33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling place of 
 jackals, a desolation for ever: no man 
 shall dwell there, neither shall any 
 son of man sojourn therein. 
 
 34 The word of the Lord that came to 
 J eremiah the prophet concerning Elam 
 in the beginning of the reign of Zedek- 
 
 35iah king of Judah, saying, Thus saith 
 the Lord of hosts : Behold, I will 
 break the bow of Elam, the chief of 
 
 36 their might. And upon Elam will I 
 bring the four winds from the four 
 quarters of heaven, and will scatter 
 them toward all those winds; and 
 there shall be no nation whither 6 the 
 
 37 outcasts of Elam shall not come. And 
 I will cause Elam to be dismayed be- 
 fore their enemies, and before them 
 that seek their life: and I will bring 
 evil upon them, even my fierce anger, 
 saith the Lord; and I will send the 
 sword after them, till I have consumed 
 
 38 them: and I will set my throne in 
 Elam, and will destroy from thence 
 
 39 king and princes, saith the Lord. But 
 it shall come to pass in the latter days, 
 that I will bring again the captivity of 
 Elam, saith the Lord. 
 
 6 An other 
 reading 
 is, the 
 ever- 
 lasting 
 outcasts. 
 
 50 The word that the Lord spake con- 
 cerning Babylon, concerning the land 
 of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the 
 prophet. 
 
 2 Declare ye among the nations and 
 publish, and set up a standard; pub- 
 lish, and conceal not : say, Babylon is 
 taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach 
 is 7 dismayed; her images are put to 
 
 3 shame, her idols are 7 dismayed. For 
 out of the north there cometh up a 
 nation against her, which shall make 
 her land desolate, and none shall dwell 
 therein : they are fled, they are gone, 
 
 4 both man and beast. In those days, 
 and in that time, saith the Lord, the 
 children of Israel shall come, they and 
 the children of Judah together ; they 
 shall go on their way weeping, and 
 
 5 shall seek the Lord their God. They 
 shall inquire concerning Zion with 
 their faces 8 thitherward, saying , Come 
 ye, and 9 join yourselves to the Lord 
 in an everlasting covenant that shall 
 not be forgotten. 
 
 6 My people hath been lost sheep: 
 their shepherds have caused them to 
 go astray, they have turned them a- 
 way on the mountains: they have gone 
 from mountain to hill, they have forgot- 
 
 7 ten their resting place. All that found 
 them have devoured them : and their 
 adversaries said, We offend not, because

 the Lord ; so shall no man dwell there, 
 neither shall any son of man sojourn 
 
 41 therein. 1 Behold, a people cometh from 
 the north; and a great nation, and 
 many kings shall he stirred up from 
 
 42 the uttermost parts of the earth. They 
 lay hold on bow and spear ; they are 
 cruel, and have no mercy ; their voice 
 roareth like the sea, and they ride up- 
 on horses; every one set in array, as 
 a man to the battle, against thee, 0 
 
 43 daughter of Babylon. The king of 
 Babylon hath heard the fame of them, 
 and his hands wax feeble: anguish 
 hath taken hold of him, and pangs as 
 
 44 of a woman in travail. 2 Behold, he 
 shall come up like a lion from the 
 pride of Jordan against the strong 
 habitation: but I will suddenly make 
 them run away from her ; and whoso 
 is chosen, him will I appoint over her : 
 for who is like me? and who will 
 appoint me a time? and who is the 
 shepherd that will stand before me? 
 
 45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the 
 Lord, that he hath taken against Baby- 
 lon; and his purposes, that he hath 
 purposed against the land of the Chal- 
 deans: Surely they shall drag them 
 away, even the little ones of the flock ; 
 surely he shall make their habitation 
 
 46 desolate with them. At the noise of 
 the taking of Babylon the earth trem- 
 bleth, and the cry is heard among the 
 nations.

 51 Thus saith the Lord : Behold, I will 
 raise up against Babylon, and against 
 them that dwell in 3 Leb-kamai, a de- 
 
 2 stroying wind. And I will send unto 
 Babylon 4 strangers, that shall fan her; 
 and they shall empty her land : for in 
 the day of trouble they shall be against 
 
 3 her round about. 5 Let not the archer 
 bend his bow, and let him not lift him- 
 self up in his coat of mail : and spare 
 ye not her young men; 6 destroy ye 
 
 4 utterly all her host. And they shah fall 
 down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, 
 
 5 and thrust through in her streets. For 
 Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his 
 God, of the Lord of hosts ; though their 
 land is full of guilt against the Holy 
 
 6 One of Israel. Flee out of the midst 
 of Babylon, and save every man his 
 life ; be not cut off in her iniquity : for 
 it is the time of the Lord’s vengeance ; 
 he will render unto her a recompence. 
 
 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in 
 the Lord’s hand, that made all the 
 earth drunken : the nations have drunk 
 of her wine ; therefore the nations are 
 
 8 mad. Babylon is suddenly fallen and 
 destroyed: howl for her; take balm 
 for her pain, if so be she may be 
 
 9 healed. We would have healed Baby- 
 lon, but she is not healed : forsake her, 
 and let us go every one into his own 
 country: for her judgement reacheth 
 
 unto heaven, and is lifted up even to 
 
 10 the skies. The Lord hath brought 
 forth our righteousness: come, and 
 let us declare in Zion the work of 
 
 11 the Lord our God. Make 7 sharp the 
 arrows; 8 hold firm the 9 shields: the 
 Lord hath stirred up the spirit of the 
 kings of the Medes ; because his device 
 is against Babylon, to destroy it : for 
 it is the vengeance of the Lord, the 
 
 12 vengeance of his temple. Set up a 
 standard against the walls of Babylon, 
 make the watch strong, set the watch- 
 men, prepare the ambushes: for the 
 Lord hath both devised and done that 
 which he spake concerning the in- 
 
 13 habitants of Babylon. O thou that 
 dwellest upon many waters, abundant 
 in treasures, thine end is come, the 
 
 14 measure of thy 10 covetousness. The 
 Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself , 
 saying , Surely I will fill thee with men, 
 as with the cankerworm; and they 
 shall lift up a shout against thee. 
 
 15 11 He hath made the earth by his 
 power, he hath established the world 
 by his wisdom, and by his understand- 
 ing hath he stretched out the heavens : 
 
 16 when he uttereth his voice, there is a 
 tumult of waters in the heavens, and 
 he causeth the vapours to ascend from 
 the ends of the earth; he maketh 
 lightnings for the rain, and bringetli 
 forth the wind out of his treasuries. 
 
 17 Every man is become brutish and is 
 without knowledge; every goldsmith 
 is put to shame by his graven image : 
 for his molten image is falsehood, and 
 
 18 there is no breath in them. They are 
 vanity, a work of delusion: in the 
 time of their visitation they shall perish. 
 
 19 The portion of Jacob is not like these ; 
 for he is the former of all things; 
 and Israel is the tribe of his inherit- 
 ance : the Lord of hosts is his name. 
 
 20 Thou art my 12 battle axe and weapons 
 of war : and with thee will I break in 
 pieces the nations ; and with thee will 
 
 211 destroy kingdoms; and with thee 
 will I break in pieces the horse and his 
 rider; and with thee will I break in 
 pieces the chariot and him that rideth 
 
 22 therein ; and with thee will I break in 
 pieces man and woman ; and with thee 
 will I break in pieces the old man and 
 the youth ; and with thee will I break 
 in pieces the young man and the maid ; 
 
 23 and with thee will I break in pieces 
 the shepherd and his flock ; and with 
 thee will I break in pieces the husband- 
 man and his yoke of oxen ; and with 
 thee will I break in pieces 13 governors 
 
 24 and deputies. And I will render unto 
 Babylon and to all the inhabitants of 
 Chaldea all their evil that they have 
 done in Zion in your sight, saith the 
 Lord.

 59 The word which Jeremiah the pro- 
 phet commanded Seraiah the son of 
 Neriali, the son of Mahseiah, when he 
 went with Zedekiah the king of Judah 
 to Babylon in the fourth year of his 
 reign. Now Seraiah was 2 chief cham- 
 
 60 berlain. And Jeremiah wrote in 3 a 
 book all the evil that should come 
 upon Babylon, even all these words 
 that are written concerning Babylon. 
 
 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When 
 thou comest to Babylon, 4 then see 
 
 62 that thou read all these words, and 
 say, 0 Lord, thou hast spoken con- 
 cerning this place, to cut it off, that 
 none shall dwell therein, neither man 
 nor beast, but that it shall be desolate 
 
 63 for ever. And it shall be, when thou 
 hast made an end of reading this book, 
 that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and 
 cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 
 
 64 and thou shalt say, Thus shall Baby- 
 lon sink, and shall not rise again be- 
 cause of the evil that I will bring 5 upon 
 her : and they shall be weary. 
 
 Thus far are the words of Jeremiah. 
 
 52 6 Zedekiah was one and twenty years 
 old when he began to reign ; and he 
 reigned eleven years in Jerusalem : and 
 his mother’s name was Hamutal the 
 
 2 daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. And 
 he did that which was evil in the sight 
 of the Lord, according to all that Je- 
 
 3hoiakim had done. For through the 
 anger of the Lord did it come to pass 
 in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had 
 cast them out from his presence : and 
 Zedekiah rebelled against the king of 
 
 4 Babylon. And it came to pass in the 
 ninth year of his reign, in the tenth 
 month, in the tenth day of the month, 
 that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
 came, he and all his army, against 
 Jerusalem, and encamped against it; 
 and they built forts against it round 
 
 5 about. So the city was besieged unto 
 the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 
 
 6 In the fourth month, in the ninth 
 day of the month, the famine was 
 sore in the city, so that there was 
 no bread for the people of the land. 
 
 7 Then a breach was made in the city, 
 and all the men of war fled, and went 
 forth out of the city by night by the 
 way of the gate between the two walls, 
 which was by the king’s garden ; (now 
 the Chaldeans were against the city 
 round about:) and they went by the 
 
 8 way of the Arabah. But the army of 
 the Chaldeans pursued after the king, 
 and overtook Zedekiah in the plains 
 of Jericho; and all his army was scat- 
 
 9 tered from him. Then they took the 
 
 king, and carried him up unto the king 
 of Babylon to Biblali in the land of 
 Hamath ; and he 7 gave judgement 
 
 10 upon him. And the king of Babylon 
 slew the sons of Zedekiah before his 
 eyes: he slew also all the princes of 
 
 11 Judah in Biblali. And he put out the 
 eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of 
 Babylon bound him in fetters, and 
 carried him to Babylon, and put him 
 in prison till the day of his death. 
 
 12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth 
 day of the month, which was the nine- 
 teenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, 
 king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan 
 the captain of the guard, which stood 
 before the king of Babylon, into Jeru- 
 
 13 salem : and he burned the house of the 
 Lord, and the king’s house; and all 
 the houses of Jerusalem, even 8 every 
 
 14 great house, burned he with fire. And 
 all the army of the Chaldeans, that 
 were with the captain of the guard, 
 brake down all the walls of Jerusalem 
 
 15 round about. Then Nebuzaradan the 
 captain of the guard carried away capt- 
 ive of the poorest sort of the people, 
 and the residue of the people that were 
 left in the city, and those that fell 
 away, that fell to the king of Babylon, 
 and the residue of the 9 multitude. 
 
 16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the 
 guard left of the poorest of the land 
 to be vinedressers and husbandmen. 
 
 17 And the pillars of brass that were in 
 the house of the Lord, and the bases 
 and the brasen sea that were in the 
 house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans 
 break in pieces, and carried all the 
 
 18 brass of them to Babylon. The pots 
 also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, 
 and the basons, and the spoons, and 
 all the vessels of brass wherewith they 
 
 19 ministered, took they away. And the 
 cups, and the firepans, and the basons, 
 and the pots, and the candlesticks, and 
 the spoons, and the bowls ; that which 
 was of gold, in gold, and that which 
 was of silver, in silver, the captain of 
 
 20 the guard took away. The two pillars, 
 the one sea, and the twelve brasen 
 bulls that were under the bases, which 
 king Solomon had made for the house 
 of the Lord: the brass of all these 
 
 21 vessels was without weight. And as 
 for the pillars, the height of the one 
 pillar was eighteen cubits ; and a line 
 of twelve cubits did compass it; and 
 the thickness thereof was four fingers : 
 
 22 it was hollow. And a chapiter of brass 
 was upon it ; and the height of the one 
 chapiter was five cubits, with network 
 and 2 )omegranates upon the chapiter 
 round about, all of brass: and the 
 second pillar also had like unto these, 
 
 23 and pomegranates. And there were 
 ninety and six pomegranates 10 on the 
 sides; all the pomegranates were an 
 hundred upon the network round about.

 THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET 
 
 EZEKIEL. 
 
 1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth 
 year, in the fourth month , in the 
 iifth day of the month, as I was 
 among the 1 captives by the river 
 Chebar, that the heavens were opened, 
 
 2 and I saw visions of God. In the fifth 
 day of the month, which was the fifth 
 
 3 year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity, the 
 word of the Lord came expressly un- 
 to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, 
 in the land of the Chaldeans by the 
 river Chebar; and the hand of the 
 
 4 Lord was there upon him. And I 
 looked, and, behold, a stormy wind 
 came out of the north, a great cloud, 
 with a fire 2 infolding itself, and a 
 brightness round about it, and out of 
 the midst thereof 3 as the colour of 
 4 amber, out of the midst of the fire. 
 
 5 And out of the midst thereof came the 
 likeness of four living creatures. And 
 this was their appearance; they had 
 
 6 the likeness of a man. And every one 
 had four faces, and every one of them 
 
 7 had four wings. And their feet were 
 straight feet; and the sole of their 
 feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot : 
 and they sparkled like the colour of 
 
 8 burnished ‘brass. And they had the 
 hands of a man under their wings on 
 their four sides: and they four had 
 
 9 their faces and their wings thus ; their 
 wings were joined one to another; 
 they turned not when they went ; they 
 
 10 went every one straight forward. As 
 for the likeness of their faces, they 
 had the face of a man ; and they four 
 had the face of a lion on the right 
 side ; and they four had the face of an 
 ox on the left side ; they four had also 
 
 11 the face of an eagle. 5 And their faces 
 and their wings were separate above ; 
 two icings of every one were joined 
 one to another, and two covered their 
 
 12 bodies. And they went every one 
 straight forward: whither the spirit 
 
 was to go, they went; they turned 
 
 13 not when they went. 6 As for the 
 likeness of the living creatures, their 
 appearance was like burning coals of 
 fire, like the appearance of torches; 
 it went up and down among the living 
 creatures: and the fire was bright, 
 and out of the fire went forth light- 
 
 lining. And the living creatures ran 
 and returned as the appearance of a 
 
 15 flash of lightning. Now as I beheld 
 the living creatures, behold one wheel 
 upon the earth beside the living crea- 
 tures, for each of the four faces there- 
 
 16 of. The appearance of the wheels 
 and their work was like unto the 
 colour of a beryl : and they four had 
 one likeness: and their appearance 
 and their work was as it were a wheel 
 
 17 7 within a wheel. When they went, 
 they went upon their four sides : they 
 
 18 turned not when they went. As for 
 their 8 rings, they were high and dread- 
 ful ; and they four had their rings full 
 
 19 of eyes round about. And when the 
 living creatures went, the wheels went 
 beside them: and when the living 
 creatures were lifted up from the earth, 
 
 20 the wheels were lifted up. Whitherso- 
 ever the spirit was to go, they went ; 
 thither was the spirit to go: and the 
 wheels were lifted up 9 beside them ; 
 for the spirit 10 of the living creature 
 
 21 was in the wheels. When those went, 
 these went; and when those stood, 
 these stood; and when those were 
 lifted up from the earth, the wheels 
 were lifted up 9 beside them: for the 
 spirit 10 of the living creature was in 
 
 22 the wheels. And over the head of the 
 living creature there was the like- 
 ness of a firmament, like the colour 
 of the terrible 11 crystal, stretched 
 
 23 forth over their heads above. And 
 under the firmament were their wings 
 straight, the one toward the other:

 was written therein lamentations, and 
 
 
 
 24 And when they went, I heard the 
 
 3 mourning, and woe. And he said un-

 noise of an host: when they stood, 
 
 and he caused me to eat the roll. 
 
 
 
 25 they let down their wings. And there

 was over their heads : when they

 26 stood, they let down their wings. And 
 
 did I eat it ; and it was in my mouth

 as honey for sweetness.

 set me upon my feet; and I heard

 12 shalt thou drink. And thou shalt eat 
 
 
 
 glory which I saw by the river Chebar : 
 
 it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake

 thus shall the children of Israel eat 
 
 
 
 unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine 
 
 their bread unclean, among the na- 
 
 
 
 25 house. But thou, son of man, behold,

 they shall lay bands upon thee, and 
 
 said I, Ah Lord God ! behold, my soul 
 
 
 
 shall bind thee with them, and thou 
 
 hath not been polluted : for from my 
 
 
 
 26 shalt not go out among them : and I

 *7 Moreover the word of the Lord came 
 
 2 unto me, saying, And thou, son of 
 man, thus saith the Lord God unto 
 the land of Israel, An end : the end 
 is come upon the four corners of the 
 
 3 land. Now is the end upon thee, and 
 I will send mine anger upon thee, and 
 will judge thee according to thy ways ; 
 and I will bring upon thee all thine 
 
 4 abominations. And mine eye shall not 
 spare thee, neither will I have pity: 
 but I will bring thy ways upon thee, 
 and thine abominations shall be in the 
 midst of thee : and ye shall know that 
 I am the Lord. 
 
 5 Thus saith the Lord God : An evil, an 
 
 6 only evil ; behold, it cometh. An end 
 is come, the end is come, it awaketh 
 
 7 against thee ; behold, it cometh. 1 Thy 
 doom is come unto thee, 0 inhabitant 
 of the land : the time is come, the day 
 is near ; a day of tumult, and not of 
 joyful shouting, 2 upon the mountains. 
 
 8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury 
 upon thee, and accomplish mine anger 
 against thee, and will judge thee ac- 
 cording to thy ways ; and I will bring 
 
 9 upon thee all thine abominations. And 
 mine eye shall not spare, neither will 
 I have pity: I will bring upon thee 
 according to thy ways, and thine ab- 
 ominations shall be in the midst of 
 thee; and ye shall know that I the 
 
 10 Lord do smite. Behold, the day, be- 
 hold, it cometh: 3 thy doom is gone 
 forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride 
 
 11 hath budded. Violence is risen up 
 into a rod of wickedness; 4 none of 
 them shall remain , nor of their multi- 
 tude, nor of their wealth : neither shall 
 
 12 there be 5 eminency among them. The 
 time is come, the day draweth near: 
 let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller 
 mourn : for wrath is upon all the multi- 
 
 13 tude thereof. For the seller shall not 
 return to that which is sold, 6 although 
 they be yet alive: for the vision is touch- 
 ing the whole multitude thereof, 7 none 
 shall return; neither shall any strength- 
 en himself 8 in the iniquity of his life. 
 
 14 They have blown the trumpet, and have 
 made all ready ; but none goeth to the 
 battle: for my wrath is upon all the 
 
 15 multitude thereof. The sword is with- 
 out, and the pestilence and the famine 
 within : he that is in the field shall die 
 with the sword ; and he that is in the 
 city, famine and pestilence shall devour 
 
 16 him. But they that escape of them 
 shall escape, and shall be on the mount- 
 ains like doves of the valleys, all of 
 them mourning, every one in his in- 
 
 17 iquity. All hands shall be feeble, and 
 
 18 all knees shall be weak as water. They 
 shall also gird themselves with sack- 
 cloth, and horror shall cover them; 
 and shame shall be upon all faces, and 
 
 19 baldness upon all their heads. They 
 shall cast their silver in the streets, 
 and their gold shall be as an unclean 
 thing ; their silver and their gold shall 
 not be able to deliver them in the day 
 of the wrath of the Lord ; they shall 
 not satisfy their souls, neither fill their 
 bowels : because it hath been the stum- 
 
 20 blingblock of their iniquity. As for the 
 beauty of his ornament, 9 he set it in 
 majesty: but they made the images of 
 their abominations and their detestable 
 things 10 therein : therefore have I made 
 
 21 it unto them as an unclean thing. And 
 I will give it into the hands of the 
 strangers for a prey, and to the wicked 
 of the earth for a spoil ; and they shall 
 
 22 profane it. My face will I turn also 
 from them, and they shall profane 
 my 11 secret place: and robbers shall 
 
 23 enter into it, and profane it. Make the 
 chain: for the land is full of 12 bloody 
 crimes, and the city is full of violence. 
 
 24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of 
 the heathen, and they shall possess 
 their houses: I will also make the 
 pride of the strong to cease ; and 13 their 
 
 25 holy places shall be profaned. 14 De- 
 struction cometh ; and they shall seek 
 
 26 peace, and there shall be none. Mis- 
 chief shall come upon mischief, and 
 rumour shall be upon rumour; and 
 they shall seek a vision of the prophet ; 
 but the law shall perish from the priest, 
 
 27 and counsel from the ancients. The 
 king shall mourn, and the prince shall 
 be clothed with desolation, and the 
 hands of the people of the land shall 
 be troubled : I will do unto them after 
 their way, and according to their de- 
 serts will I judge them; and they shall 
 know that I am the Lord. 
 
 B And it came to pass in the sixth year, 
 in the sixth month , in the fifth day of 
 the month, as I sat in mine house, and 
 the elders of Judah sat before me, that 
 the hand of the Lord God fell there upon 
 
 2 me. Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness 
 as the appearance of fire ; from the ap- 
 pearance of his loins and downward, 
 fire : and from his loins and upward, as 
 the appearance of brightness, 15 as the 
 
 3 colour of 16 amber. And he put forth 
 the form of an hand, and took me by a 
 lock of mine head ; and the spirit lifted 
 me up between the earth and the hea- 
 ven, and brought me in the visions of 
 God to Jerusalem, to the door of the 
 gate of the inner court that looketh to- 
 ward the north ; where was the seat of 
 the image of jealousy, which provoketh 
 
 4 to jealousy. And, behold, the glory of 
 the God of Israel was there, according 
 to the 17 appearance that I saw in the 
 
 5 plain. Then said he unto me, Son of 
 man, lift up thine eyes now the way to- 
 ward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes 
 the way toward the north, and behold

 every one of the house of Israel, or of 
 the strangers that sojourn in Israel, 
 which separateth himself from me, and 
 taketh his idols into his heart, and 
 putteth the stumblingblock of his in- 
 iquity before his face, and cometh to 
 the prophet to inquire 1 for himself of 
 me; I the Lord will answer him by 
 
 8 myself : and I will set my face against 
 that man, and will make him an aston- 
 ishment, for a sign and a proverb, and 
 I will cut him oft' from the midst of my 
 people ; and ye shall know that I am 
 
 9 the Lord. And if the prophet be 2 de- 
 ceived and speaketh a word, I the Lord 
 have deceived that prophet, and I will 
 stretch out my hand upon him, and 
 will destroy him from the midst of 
 
 10 my people Israel. And they shall bear 
 3 their iniquity: the iniquity of the 
 prophet shall be even as the iniquity 
 
 11 of him that seeketh unto him ; that the 
 house of Israel may go no more astray 
 from me, neither defile themselves any 
 more with all their transgressions ; but 
 that they may be my people, and I may 
 be their God, saith the Lord God. 
 
 12 And the word of the Lord came unto 
 
 13 me, saying, Son of man, when a land 
 sinneth against me by committing a 
 trespass, and I stretch out mine hand 
 upon it, and break the staff of the 
 bread thereof, and send famine upon it, 
 and cut off from it man and beast; 
 
 14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, 
 and Job, were in it, they should de- 
 liver but their own souls by their right- 
 
 15 eousness, saith the Lord God. If I 
 cause noisome beasts to pass through 
 the land, and they 4 spoil it, so that it be 
 desolate, that no man may pass through 
 
 16 because of the beasts; though these 
 three men were in it, as I live, saith 
 the Lord God, they shall deliver neither 
 sons nor daughters ; they only shall be 
 delivered, but the land shall be desolate. 
 
 17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, 
 and say, 5 Sword, go through the land ; 
 so that I cut off from it man and beast ; 
 
 18 though these three men were in it, as 
 I live, saith the Lord God, they shall 
 deliver neither sons nor daughters, 
 but they only shall be delivered them- 
 
 19 selves. Or if I send a pestilence into 
 that land, and pour out my fury upon 
 it in blood, to cut off from it man 
 
 20 and beast: though Noah, Daniel, and 
 Job, were in it, as I live, saith the 
 Lord God, they shall deliver neither 
 son nor daughter; they shall but de- 
 liver their own souls by their righteous- 
 
 21 ness. For thus saith the Lord God: 
 How much more when I send my four 
 sore judgements upon Jerusalem, the 
 sword, and the famine, and the noisome 
 beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from 
 
 22 it man and beast ? Yet, behold, there- 
 in shall be left 6 a remnant that shall 
 be carried forth, both sons and daugh- 
 
 ters: behold, they shall come forth 
 unto you, and ye shall see their way 
 and their doings : and ye shall be com- 
 forted concerning the evil that I have 
 brought upon Jerusalem, even concern- 
 ing all that I have brought upon it. 
 
 23 And they shall comfort you, when ye 
 see their way and their doings : and ye 
 shall know that I have not done 7 with- 
 out cause all that I have done in it, 
 saith the Lord God. 
 
 15 And the word of the Lord came unto 
 
 2 me, saying, Son of man, what is the vine 
 tree more than any tree, the vine branch 
 which 8 is among the trees of the forest ? 
 
 3 Shall wood be taken thereof to make 
 any work ? or will men take a pin of it 
 
 4 to hang any vessel thereon ? Behold, it 
 is cast into the fire for fuel : the fire hath 
 devoured both the ends of it, and the 
 midst of it is burned ; is it profitable 
 
 5 for any work? Behold, when it was 
 whole, it was 9 meet for no work: how 
 much less, when the fire hath devoured 
 it, and it is burned, shall it yet be 
 
 6 9 meet for any work? Therefore thus 
 saith the Lord God : As the vine tree 
 among the trees of the forest, which I 
 have given to the fire for fuel, so 10 will 
 I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
 
 7 And I will set my face against them ; 
 they 11 shall go forth from the fire, but 
 the fire shall devour them; and ye 
 shall know that I am the Lord, when 
 
 81 set my face against them. And I 
 will make the land desolate, because 
 they have committed a trespass, saith 
 the Lord God. 
 
 16 Again the word of the Lord came 
 
 2 unto me, saying, Son of man, cause 
 Jerusalem to know her abominations, 
 
 3 and say, Thus saith the Lord God 
 unto Jerusalem: 12 Thy birth and thy 
 nativity is of the land of the Canaanite ; 
 the Amorite was thy father, and thy 
 
 4 mother was an Hittite. And as for thy 
 nativity, in the day thou wast born thy 
 navel was not cut, neither wast thou 
 washed in water to cleanse thee ; thou 
 wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at 
 
 5 all. None eye pitied thee, to do any of 
 these unto thee, to have compassion 
 upon thee ; but thou wast cast out in 
 the open field, for that thy person was 
 abhorred, in the day that thou wast 
 
 6 born. And when I passed by thee, 
 and saw thee weltering in thy blood, 
 I said unto thee, Though thou art in 
 thy blood, live ; yea, I said unto thee, 
 
 7 Though thou art in tliy blood, live. I 
 
 13 caused thee to multiply as the bud 
 of the field, and thou didst increase 
 and wax great, and thou attainedst to 
 
 14 excellent ornament ; thy breasts were 
 fashioned, and thine hair was grown; 
 
 8 yet thou wast naked and bare. Now 
 when I passed by thee, and looked upon 
 thee, behold, thy time was the time 
 of love; and I spread my skirt over

 fore doth not the son bear the iniquity 
 of the father ? When the son hath done 
 that which is lawful and right, and hath 
 kept all my statutes, and hath done 
 
 20 them, he shall surely live. The soul 
 that sinneth, it shall die : the son shall 
 not hear the iniquity of the father, 
 neither shall the father bear the in- 
 iquity of the son ; the righteousness of 
 the righteous shall be upon him, and 
 the wickedness of the wicked shall be 
 
 21 upon him. But if the wicked turn from 
 all his sins that he hath committed, 
 
 the young lions she nourished her 
 
 3 whelps. And she brought up one of 
 her whelps ; he became a young lion : 
 and he learned to catch the prey, he de- 
 4voured men. The nations also heard 
 of him; he was taken in their pit: 
 and they brought him with hooks unto 
 
 5 the land of Egypt. Now when she 
 saw that she had waited, and her hope 
 was lost, then she took another of her 
 whelps, and made him a young lion. 
 
 6 And he went up and down among the 
 lions, he became a young lion : and he 
 learned to catch the prey, he devoured 
 
 
 
 and keep all my statutes, and do that 
 which is lawful and right, he shall 
 
 22 surely live, he shall not die. None of his 
 transgressions that he hath committed 
 shall be remembered against him: in 
 his righteousness that he hath done he 
 
 23 shall live. Have I any pleasure in the 
 death of the wicked? saith the Lord 
 God: and not rather that he should 
 
 24 return from his way, and live? But 
 when the righteous turneth away from 
 his righteousness, and committeth 
 iniquity, and doeth according to all 
 
 7 men. And he knew their 6 palaces, 
 and laid waste their cities; and the 
 land was desolate, and the fulness 
 thereof, because of the noise of his 
 
 8 roaring. Then the nations set against 
 him on every side from the provinces : 
 and they spread their net over him; 
 
 9 he was taken in their pit. And they 
 put him in a cage with hooks, and 
 brought him to the king of Babylon ; 
 they brought him into strong holds, 
 that his voice should no more be heard 
 upon the mountains of Israel.

 ye say, The way of the Lord is not

 among the 9 thick boughs, and 10 they 
 
 
 were seen in 8 their height with the 
 
 clouds 
 
 
 Is not my way equal? are not your

 man turneth away from his right- 
 eousness, and committeth iniquity, 
 
 2 and dieth 3 therein; 1 m his iniquity 
 
 was plucked up in fury, she was cast 
 down to the ground, and the east wind 
 dried up her fruit: her strong rods 
 
 he was. 
 
 2 Or, he

 28 alive. Because he considereth, and 
 turneth away from all his transgres- 
 sions that he hath committed, he shall 
 
 29 surely live, he shall not die. Yet saith 
 the house of Israel, The way of the 
 Lord is not equal. 0 house of Israel, 
 are not my ways equal ? are not your 
 
 30 ways unequal ? Therefore I will j udge 
 you, 0 house of Israel, every one ac- 
 cording to his ways, saith the Lord God. 
 Keturn ye, and turn yourselves from 
 all your transgressions; 4 so iniquity 
 
 voured her fruit, so that there is in 
 her no strong rod to be a sceptre to 
 rule. This is a lamentation, and shall 
 be for a lamentation. 
 
 20 And it came to pass in the seventh 
 year, in the fifth month , the tenth day 
 of the month, that certain of the elders 
 of Israel came to inquire of the Loud, 
 
 2 and sat before me. And the word of 
 
 3 the Lord came unto me, saying, Son 
 of man, speak unto the elders of 
 Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith 
 
 
 4 Or, so 
 
 the Lord God : Are ye come to inquire

 thou judge them? cause them to know

 19 Moreover, take thou up a lamenta- 
 2 tion for the princes of Israel, and say, 
 What was thy mother ? A lioness : she

 of the house of J acob, and made myself

 there will I plead with yon face to face. 
 
 36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in 
 the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so 
 will I plead with you, saith the Lord 
 
 37 God. And I will cause you to pass 
 under the rod, and I will bring you into 
 
 38 the bond of the covenant ; and I will 
 purge out from among you the rebels, 
 
 the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord: 
 Behold, I am against thee, and will draw 
 forth my sword out of its sheath, and 
 will cut off from thee the righteous and 
 4 the wicked. Seeing then that I will cut 
 off from thee the righteous and the 
 wicked, therefore shall my sword go 
 forth out of its sheath against all flesh

 I will bring them forth out of the land 
 where they sojourn, but they shall not

 for you, 0 house of Israel, thus saith 
 the Lord God : Go ye, serve every one 
 his idols, 4 and hereafter also, if ye will

 saith the Lord God : Because ye are all 
 become dross, therefore behold, I will 
 gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 
 
 20 As they gather silver and brass andiron

 to come

 set my jealousy against thee, and they 
 shall deal with thee in fury ; they 
 shall take away thy nose and thine 
 ears ; and thy residue shall fall by the 
 sword: they shall take thy sons and 
 thy daughters; and thy residue shall 
 
 26 be devoured by the fire. They shall 
 also strip thee of thy clothes, and take 
 
 27 away thy fair j ewels. Thus will I make 
 thy lewdness to cease from thee, and 
 thy whoredom ^brought from the land 
 of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift 
 up thine eyes unto them, nor remem- 
 
 28 her Egypt any more. For thus saith 
 the Lord God : Behold, I will deliver 
 thee into the hand of them whom thou 
 hatest, into the hand of them from 
 
 29 whom thy soul is alienated : and they 
 shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall 
 take away all thy labour, and shall leave 
 thee naked and bare : and the naked- 
 ness of thy whoredoms shall be dis- 
 covered, both thy lewdness and thy 
 
 30 whoredoms. These things shall be done 
 unto thee, for that thou hast gone a 
 whoring after the heathen, and because 
 
 31 thou art polluted with their idols. Thou 
 hast walked in the way of thy sister ; 
 therefore will I give her cup into thine 
 
 32 hand. Thus saith the Lord God: 
 Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup, 
 which is deep and large : thou shalt be 
 laughed to scorn and had in derision ; 
 
 33 2 it containeth much. Thou shalt be 
 filled with drunkenness and sorrow, 
 with the cup of astonishment and 
 desolation, with the cup of thy sister 
 
 34 Samaria. Thou shalt even drink it 
 and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw 
 the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy 
 breasts : for I have spoken it, saith the 
 
 35 Lord God. Therefore thus saith the 
 Lord God: Because thou hast for- 
 gotten me, and cast me behind thy 
 back, therefore bear thou also thy lewd- 
 ness and thy whoredoms. 
 
 36 The Lord said moreover unto me: 
 Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah 
 and Oholibah ? then declare unto them 
 
 37 their abominations. For they have 
 committed adultery, and blood is in 
 their hands, and with their idols have 
 they committed adultery; and they 
 have also 8 caused their sons, whom 
 they bare unto me, to pass through the 
 
 38 jive unto them to be devoured. More- 
 over this they have done unto me : they 
 have defiled my sanctuary in the same 
 day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 
 
 39 For when they had slain their child- 
 ren to their idols, then they came the 
 same day into my sanctuary to profane 
 it ; and, lo, thus have they done in the 
 
 40 midst of mine house. And further- 
 more ye have sent for men 4 that come 
 from far : unto whom a messenger 
 was sent, and, lo, they came ; for whom 
 thou didst wash thyself, paintedst 
 
 thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with 
 
 41 ornaments; and satest upon a stately 
 bed, with a table prepared before it, 
 whereupon thou didst set mine incense 
 
 42 and mine oil. And the voice of a 
 multitude being at ease was with her : 
 and with men of the common sort were 
 brought drunkards from the wilder- 
 ness ; and they put bracelets upon the 
 hands of them twain , and beautiful 
 
 43 crowns upon their heads. Then said 
 I 6 of her that was old in adulteries, 
 Now will they commit 6 whoredoms 
 
 44 with her, 7 and she with them. And 
 they went in unto her, as they go in 
 unto an harlot : so went they in unto 
 Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd 
 
 45 women. And righteous men, they shall 
 judge them with the judgement of adul- 
 teresses, and with the judgement of 
 women that shed blood ; because they 
 are adulteresses, and blood is in their 
 
 46 hands. For thus saith the Lord God : 
 I will bring up an assembly against 
 them, and will give them to be tossed to 
 
 47 and fro and spoiled. And the assem- 
 bly shall stone them with stones, and 
 despatch them with their swords; they 
 shall slay their sons and their daugh- 
 ters, and burn up their houses with fire. 
 
 48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out 
 of the land, that all women may be 
 taught not to do after your lewdness. 
 
 49 And they shall recompense your lewd- 
 ness upon you, and ye shall bear the 
 sins of your idols : and ye shall know 
 that I am the Lord God. 
 
 24 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth 
 month, in the tenth day of the month, 
 the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 
 2 saying, Son of man, write thee the 
 name of the day, even of this selfsame 
 day : the king of Babylon 8 drew close 
 unto Jerusalem this selfsame day. 
 
 3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious 
 house, and say unto them, Thus saith 
 the Lord God, Set on the caldron, set 
 it on, and also pour water into it: 
 
 4 gather the pieces thereof into it, even 
 every good piece, the thigh, and the 
 shoulder ; fill it with the choice bones. 
 
 5 Take the choice of the flock, and pile 
 also the bones under it : make it boil 
 well; yea, let the bones thereof be 
 seethed in the midst of it. 
 
 6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God : 
 Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron 
 whose 9 rust is therein, and whose 
 9 rust is not gone out of it! bring it 
 out piece by piece; no lot is fallen 
 
 7 upon it. For her blood is in the midst 
 of her ; she set it upon the bare rock ; 
 she poured it not upon the ground, 
 
 8 to cover it with dust ; that it might 
 cause fury to come up to take venge- 
 ance, I have set her blood upon the 
 bare rock, that it should not be 
 
 9 covered. Therefore thus saith the 
 Lord God: Woe to the bloody city!

 5 Or, She 
 that is 
 old will 
 commit

 teries

 10 1 also will make the pile great. Heap 
 on the wood, make the fire hot, boil 
 well the flesh, and make thick the 
 broth, and let the bones be burned. 
 
 11 Then set it empty upon the coals there- 
 of, that it may be hot, and the brass 
 thereof may burn, and that the filthi- 
 ness of it may be molten in it, that the 
 
 12 rust of it may be consumed. She hath 
 
 escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be 
 no more dumb: so shalt thou be a 
 sign unto them ; and they shall know 
 that I am the Lord. 
 
 25 And the word of the Lord came 
 2 unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy 
 face toward the children of Ammon, 
 
 3 and prophesy 13 against them: and say 
 
 13 Or.

 me, Wilt thou not tell us what these

 20 Then I said unto them, The word of 
 
 21 the Lord came unto me, saying, Speak 
 unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the 
 Lord God : Behold, I will profane my 
 sanctuary, the pride of your power, the 
 desire of your eyes, and 8 that which 
 
 perish out of the countries : I will de- 
 stroy thee ; and thou shalt know that 
 I am the Lord.

 that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the 
 house of Judah is like unto all the na-

 side of Moab from the cities, from his 
 cities which are 14 on his frontiers, the

 know my vengeance, saith the Lord 
 God. 
 
 15 Thus saith the Lord God: Because 
 the Philistines have dealt by revenge, 
 and have taken vengeance with despite 
 of soul to destroy it with perpetual 
 
 16 enmity ; therefore thus saith the Lord 
 God, Behold, I will stretch out mine 
 hand upon the Philistines, and I will 
 cut off the Cherethites, and destroy 
 
 17 the remnant of the sea coast. And 
 I will execute great vengeance up- 
 on them with furious rebukes; and 
 they shall know that I am the Lord, 
 when I shall lay my vengeance upon 
 them. 
 
 26 And it came to pass in the eleventh 
 year, in the first day of the month, that 
 the word of the Lord came unto me, 
 
 2 saying, Son of man, because that Tyre 
 hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she 
 is broken that was the gate of the 
 peoples ; she is turned unto me : I shall 
 be replenished, now that she is laid 
 
 3 waste: therefore thus saith the Lord 
 God : Behold, lam against thee, 0 Tyre, 
 and will cause many nations to come 
 up against thee, as the sea causetli his 
 
 4 waves to come up. And they shall de- 
 stroy the walls of Tyre, and break down 
 her towers: I will also scrape her 
 dust from her, and make her a bare 
 
 5 rock. She shall be a place for the 
 spreading of nets in the midst of the 
 sea; for I have spoken it, saith the 
 Lord God: and she shall become a 
 
 6 spoil to the nations. And her daugh- 
 ters which are in the field shall be slain 
 with the sword : and they shall know 
 
 7 that I am the Lord. For thus saith the 
 Lord God : Behold, I will bring upon 
 Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
 king of kings, from the north, with 
 horses, and with chariots, and with 
 horsemen, and a company, and much 
 
 8 people. He shall slay with the sword 
 thy daughters in the field: and he 
 shall make forts against thee, and 
 cast up a mount against thee, and raise 
 
 9 up the buckler against thee. And he 
 shall set his battering engines against 
 thy walls, and with his 1 axes he shall 
 
 10 break down thy towers. By reason of 
 the abundance of his horses their dust 
 shall cover thee : thy walls shall shake 
 at the noise of the horsemen, and of 
 the 2 wagons, and of the chariots, when 
 he shall enter into thy gates, as men 
 enter into a city wherein is made a 
 
 11 breach. With the hoofs of his horses 
 shall he tread down all thy streets : he 
 shall slay thy people with the sword, 
 and the 3 pillars of thy strength shall go 
 
 12 down to the ground. And they shall 
 make a spoil of thy riches, and make 
 a prey of thy merchandise: and they 
 shall break down thy walls, and de- 
 stroy thy pleasant houses: and they 
 shall lay thy stones and thy timber and 
 
 thy dust in the midst of the waters. 
 
 13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs 
 to cease ; and the sound of thy harps 
 
 14 shall be no more heard. And I will 
 make thee a bare rock : thou shalt be 
 a place for the spreading of nets ; thou 
 shalt be built no more : for I the Lord 
 have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 
 
 15 Thus saith the Lord God to Tyre: 
 Shall not the isles shake at the sound 
 of thy fall, when the wounded groan, 
 when the slaughter is made in the midst 
 
 16 of thee? Then all the princes of the 
 sea shall come down from their thrones, 
 and lay aside their robes, and strip off 
 their broidered garments: they shall 
 clothe themselves with 4 trembling; 
 they shall sit upon the ground, and 
 shall tremble every moment, and be 
 
 17 astonished at thee. And they shall take 
 up a lamentation for thee, and say to 
 thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast 
 inhabited 5 of seafaring men, the re- 
 nowned city, which wast strong in the 
 sea, she and her inhabitants, which 
 caused their terror to be on all that 
 
 18 6 haunt it ! Now shall the isles tremble 
 in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles 
 that are in the sea shall be dismayed 
 
 19 at thy departure. For thus saith 
 the Lord God: When I shall make 
 thee a desolate city, like the cities that 
 are not inhabited ; when I shall bring 
 up the deep upon thee, and the great 
 
 20 waters shall cover thee; then will I 
 bring thee down with them that de- 
 scend into the pit, to the people of old 
 time, and will make thee to dwell in 
 the nether parts of the earth, 7 in the 
 places that are desolate of old, with 
 them that go down to the pit, that thou 
 be not inhabited ; 8 and I will set glory 
 
 21 in the land of the living: I will make 
 thee 9 a terror, and thou shalt be no 
 more : though thou be sought for, yet 
 shalt thou never be found again, saith 
 the Lord God. 
 
 27 The word of the Lord came again 
 
 2 unto me, saying, And thou, son of man, 
 
 3 take up a lamentation for Tyre; and 
 say unto Tyre, O thou that dwellest at 
 the 10 entry of the sea, which art the 
 merchant of the peoples unto many 
 isles, thus saith the Lord God : Thou, 
 0 Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty . 
 
 4 Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, 
 thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 
 
 5 They have 11 made all thy planks of 
 fir trees from Senir : they have taken 
 cedars from Lebanon to make a mast 
 
 6 for thee. Of the oaks of Baslian have 
 they made thine oars ; they have made 
 thy 12 benches of ivory inlaid in box- 
 
 7 wood, from the isles of Kittim. Of 
 fine linen with broidered work from 
 Egypt was thy sail, that it might be to 
 thee for an ensign ; blue and purple from 
 the isles of Elishah was thine awning.

 were thy rowers : thy wise men, 0 Tyre, 
 9 were in thee, they were thy pilots. The 
 1 ancients of Gebal and the wise men 
 thereof were in thee thy calkers: all 
 the ships of the sea with their mariners 
 were in thee to 2 occupy thy mer- 
 
 lOchandise. Persia and Lud and Put 
 were in thine army, thy men of war: 
 they hanged the shield and helmet in 
 thee; they set forth thy comeliness. 
 
 11 The men of Arvad with thine army were 
 upon thy walls round about, and 8 the 
 Gammadim were in thy towers : they 
 hanged their shields upon thy walls 
 round about ; they have perfected thy 
 
 12 beauty. Tarshisli was thy merchant by 
 reason of the multitude of all kinds of 
 riches ; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, 
 
 13 they traded for thy wares. Javan, Tubal, 
 and Meshech, they were thy traffickers : 
 they traded the persons of men and 
 vessels of brass for thy merchandise. 
 
 14 They of the house of Togarmah traded 
 for thy wares with horses and war- 
 
 15 horses and mules. The men of Dedan 
 were thy traffickers : many isles were 
 the mart of thine hand : they brought 
 thee 4 in exchange horns of ivory and 
 
 16 ebony. Syria was thy merchant by 
 reason of the multitude of thy handy- 
 works : they traded for thy wares with 
 5 emeralds, purple, and broidered work, 
 and fine linen, and coral, and rubies. 
 
 17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they 
 were thy traffickers: they traded for 
 thy merchandise wheat of Minnith, 
 and 6 pannag, and honey, and oil, and 
 
 18 balm. Damascus was thy merchant 
 for the multitude of thy handyworks, 
 by reason of the multitude of all kinds 
 of riches ; with the wine of Helbon, and 
 
 19 white wool. Yedan and Javan traded 
 7 with yarn for thy wares: 8 bright 
 iron, cassia, and calamus, were among 
 
 20 thy merchandise. Dedan was thy traf- 
 ficker in precious cloths for riding. 
 
 21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, 
 they were the merchants of thy hand ; 
 in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these 
 
 22 were they thy merchants. The traf- 
 fickers of Sheba and Raamah, they 
 were thy traffickers: they traded for 
 thy wares with chief of all spices, and 
 with all precious stones, and gold. 
 
 23 Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traf- 
 fickers of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad, 
 
 24 were thy traffickers. These were thy 
 traffickers in choice wares, in Wrap- 
 pings of blue and broidered work, and 
 in chests of rich apparel, bound with 
 cords and made of cedar, among thy 
 
 25 merchandise. The ships of Tarshish 
 were thy caravans for thy merchandise : 
 and thou wast replenished, and made 
 very glorious in the heart of the seas. 
 
 26 Thy rowers have brought thee into 
 great waters : the east wind hath broken 
 
 27 thee in the heart of the seas. Thy 
 riches, and thy wares, thy merchandise, 
 
 thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, 
 and the 10 occupiers of thy merchandise, 
 and all thy men of war, that are in thee, 
 11 with all thy company which is in the 
 midst of thee, shall fall into the heart 
 
 28 of the seas in the day of thy ruin. At 
 the sound of the cry of thy pilots the 
 
 29 12 suburbs shall shake. And all that 
 handle the oar, the mariners, and all 
 the pilots of the sea, shall come down 
 from their ships, they shall stand upon 
 
 30 the land, and shall cause their voice 
 to be heard over thee, and shall cry 
 bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon 
 their heads, they shall wallow them- 
 
 31 selves in the ashes : and they shall make 
 themselves bald for thee, and gird them 
 with sackcloth, and they shall weep for 
 thee in bitterness of soul with bitter 
 
 32 mourning. And in their wailing they 
 shall take up a lamentation for thee, 
 and lament over thee, saying , Who is 
 there like Tyre, like her that is brought 
 to silence in the midst of the sea? 
 
 33 When thy wares went forth out of the 
 seas, thou filledst many peoples ; thou 
 didst enrich the kings of the earth with 
 the multitude of thy riches and of thy 
 
 34 merchandise. 13 In the time that thou 
 wast broken by the seas in the depths 
 of the waters, thy merchandise and all 
 thy company did fall in the midst of 
 
 35 thee. All the inhabitants of the isles 
 are astonished at thee, and their kings 
 are horribly afraid, they are troubled 
 
 36 in their countenance. The merchants 
 among the peoples hiss at thee; thou 
 art become 14 a terror, and thou shalt 
 never be any more. 
 
 28 The word of the Lord came again 
 2 unto me, saying, Son of man, say 
 unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith 
 the Lord God : Because thine heart is 
 lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a 
 god, I sit in the seat of God, in the 
 15 midst of the seas; yet thou art man, 
 and not God, though thou didst set 
 3 thine heart as the heart of God: be- 
 hold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there 
 is no secret that they can hide from 
 4 thee: by thy wisdom and by thine 
 understanding thou hast gotten thee 
 16 riches, and hast gotten gold and sil- 
 5ver into thy treasures: by thy great 
 wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou in- 
 creased thy 16 riches, and thine heart is 
 
 6 lifted up because of thy 16 riches : there- 
 fore thus saith the Lord God : Because 
 thou hast set thine heart as the heart 
 
 7 of God ; therefore behold, I will bring 
 strangers upon thee, the terrible of the 
 nations: and they shall draw their 
 swords against the beauty of thy wis- 
 dom, and they shall 17 defile thy bright- 
 
 8 ness. They shall bring thee down to 
 the pit ; and thou shalt die the deaths of 
 them that are slain, in the heart of the 
 
 9 seas. Wilt thou yet say before him

 11 Moreover the word of the Lord came 
 
 12 unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a 
 lamentation for the king of Tyre, and 
 say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God : 
 Thou sealest up the 2 sum, full of wis- 
 
 13 dom, and perfect in beauty. Thou wast 
 in Eden the garden of God; every 
 precious stone was thy covering, the 
 3 sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, 
 the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the 
 sapphire, the 4 emerald, and the 5 car- 
 buncle, and gold : the workmanship of 
 thy tabrets and of thy pipes was in 
 thee; in the day that thou wast cre- 
 
 14 ated they were prepared. Thou wast 
 the anointed cherub that covereth : and 
 I set thee, so that thou wast upon 
 the holy mountain of God ; thou hast 
 walked up and down in the midst of the 
 
 15 stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in 
 thy ways from the day that thou wast 
 created, till unrighteousness was found 
 
 16 in thee. By the multitude of thy traf- 
 fic they filled the midst of thee with 
 violence, and thou hast sinned : there- 
 fore have I cast thee as profane out of 
 the mountain of God ; and I have de- 
 stroyed thee, 0 covering cherub, from 
 
 17 the midst of the stones of fire. Thine 
 heart was lifted up because of thy 
 beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom 
 by reason of thy brightness : I have cast 
 thee to the ground, I have laid thee be- 
 fore kings, that they may behold thee. 
 
 18 By the multitude of thine iniquities, in 
 the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou 
 hast profaned thy sanctuaries ; there- 
 fore have I brought forth a fire from 
 the midst of thee, it hath devoured 
 thee, and I have turned thee to ashes 
 upon the earth in the sight of all 
 
 19 them that behold thee. All they that 
 know thee among the peoples shall 
 be astonished at thee : thou art be- 
 come 6 a terror, and thou shalt never 
 be any more. 
 
 20 And the word of the Lord came unto 
 
 21 me, saying, Son of man, set thy face 
 toward Zidon, and prophesy against it, 
 
 22 and say, Thus saith the Lord God : Be- 
 hold, I am against thee, O Zidon ; and 
 I will be glorified in the midst of thee : 
 and they shall know that I am the 
 Lord, when 1 shall have executed 
 judgements in her, and shall be sancti- 
 
 23 fied in her. For I will send into her 
 pestilence and blood in her streets; 
 and the wounded shall 7 fall in the 
 midst of her, with the sword upon her 
 on every side ; and they shall know that 
 
 24 1 am the Lord. And there shall be no 
 more a pricking brier unto the house 
 of Israel, nor a grieving thorn of any 
 that are round about them, that did 
 
 despite unto them; and they shall 
 know that I am the Lord God. 
 
 25 Thus saith the Lord God: When I 
 shall have gathered the house of Israel 
 from the peoples among whom they 
 are scattered, and shall be sanctified 
 in them in the sight of the nations, then 
 shall they dwell in their own land which 
 26 1 gave to my servant Jacob. And they 
 shall dwell securely therein ; yea, they 
 shall build houses, and plant vine- 
 yards, and shall dwell securely ; when 
 I have executed judgements upon all 
 those that do them despite round 
 about them ; and they shall know that 
 
 I am the Lord their God. 
 
 29 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, 
 in the twelfth day of the month, the 
 word of the Lord came unto me, say- 
 
 2 ing, Son of man, set thy face against 
 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy 
 against him, and against all Egypt: 
 
 3 speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord 
 God : Behold, I am against thee, Pha- 
 raoh king of Egypt, the great dragon 
 that lieth in the midst of his rivers, 
 which hath said, My river is mine own, 
 
 4 and I have made it for myself. And I 
 will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will 
 cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto 
 thy scales ; and I will bring thee up out 
 of the midst of thy rivers, with all the 
 fish of thy rivers which stick unto thy 
 
 5 scales. And I will leave thee thrown 
 into the wilderness, thee and all the fish 
 of thy rivers : thou shalt fall upon the 
 8 open field ; thou shalt not be brought to- 
 gether, nor gathered : I have given thee 
 for meat to the beasts of the earth and 
 
 6 to the fowls of the heaven. And all 
 the inhabitants of Egypt shall know 
 that I am the Lord, because they have 
 been a staff of reed to the house of 
 
 7 Israel. When they took hold of thee 
 9 by thy hand, thou didst break, and 
 didst rend all their shoulders: and 
 when they leaned upon thee, thou 
 brakest, and madest all their loins to 
 
 8 10 be at a stand. Therefore thus saith 
 the Lord God : Behold, I will bring a 
 sword upon thee, and will cut off from 
 
 9 thee man and beast. And the land of 
 Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste ; 
 and they shall know that I am the 
 Lord : because he hath said, The river 
 10 is mine, and I have made it. Therefore 
 behold, I am against thee, and against 
 thy rivers, and I will make the land of 
 Egypt an utter waste and desolation, 
 
 II from the tower of Seveneh even unto 
 lithe border of Ethiopia. No foot of 
 
 man shall pass through it, nor foot of 
 beast shall pass through it, neither 
 12 shall it be inhabited forty years. And 
 I will make the land of Egypt a desol- 
 ation in the midst of the countries that 
 are desolate, and her cities among the 
 cities that are laid waste shall be a des- 
 olation forty years : and I will scatter

 carry off her multitude, and take her

 ~ Or, 
 as the 
 former 
 appear- 
 ance 
 
 they encompassed the house higher and 
 higher; for the encompassing of the 
 house went higher and higher round 
 about the house : therefore the breadth 
 of the house continued upward ; and so 
 one went mp.from the lowest chamber 
 to the highest by the middle chamber. 
 8 1 saw also 1 that the house had 2 a raised 
 basement round about : the founda- 
 tions of the side-chambers were a full 
 9 reed 3 of six great cubits. The thick- 
 ness of the wall, which was for the side- 
 chambers, on the outside, was five 
 cubits : 4 and that which was left was 
 the place of the side-chambers that be- 
 lt) longed to the house. And between the 
 chambers was a breadth of twenty 
 cubits round about the house on every 
 
 11 side. And the doors of the side- chambers 
 were toward the place that was left, one 
 door toward the north, and another 
 door toward the south: and the breadth 
 of the place that was left was five 
 
 12 cubits round about. And the building 
 that was before the separate place at 
 the side toward the west was seventy 
 cubits broad ; and the wall of the build- 
 ing was five cubits thick round about, 
 and the length thereof ninety cubits. 
 
 13 So he measured the house, an hundred 
 cubits long ; and the separate place, and 
 the building, with the walls thereof, an 
 
 14 hundred cubits long ; also the breadth 
 of the face of the house, and of the 
 separate place toward the east, an 
 hundred cubits. 
 
 15 And he measured the length of the 
 building before the separate place 
 which was at the back thereof, and 
 the galleries thereof on the one side 
 and on the other side, an hundred 
 cubits ; and the inner temple, and the 
 
 16 porches of the court; the thresholds, 
 and the closed windows, and the gal- 
 leries round about on their three stories, 
 over against the threshold, cieled with 
 wood round about, and from the ground 
 up to the windows ; now the windows 
 
 17 were covered; to the space above the 
 door, even unto the inner house, and 
 without, and by all the wall round about 
 
 18 within and without, 5 by measure. And 
 it was made with cherubim and palm 
 trees; and a palm tree was between 
 cherub and cherub, and every cherub 
 
 19 had two faces; so that there was the 
 face of a man toward the palm tree on 
 the one side, and the face of a young 
 lion toward the palm tree on the other 
 side : thus was it made through all the 
 
 20 house round about. From the ground 
 unto above the door were cherubim 
 and palm trees made: 6 thus was the 
 
 21 wall of the temple. As for the temple, 
 the door posts were squared ; and as for 
 the face of the sanctuary, the appear- 
 ance thereof was 7 as the appearance 
 
 22 of the temple. The altar was of wood, 
 three cubits high, and the length there- 
 
 of two cubits ; and 8 the corners thereof, 
 and the y length thereof, and the walls 
 thereof, were of wood : and he said un- 
 to me, This is the table that is before 
 
 23 the Lord. And the temple and the sanc- 
 
 24 tuary had two doors. And the doors had 
 two leaves apiece , two turning leaves; 
 two leaves for the one door, and two 
 
 25 leaves for the other. And there were 
 made on them, on the doors of the 
 temple, cherubim and palm trees, like 
 as were made upon the walls; and 
 there were thick beams of wood 10 upon 
 
 26 the face of the porch without. And 
 there were closed windows and palm 
 trees on the one side and on the other 
 side, on the sides of the porch- thus 
 were the side-chambers of the house, 
 and the thick beams. 
 
 42 Then he brought me forth into the 
 outer court, the way toward the north : 
 and he brought me into the chamber 
 that was over against the separate 
 place, and which was over against the 
 
 2 building toward the north. Before the 
 length of 11 an hundred cubits was the 
 north door, and the breadth was fifty 
 
 3 cubits. Over against the twenty cubits 
 which belonged to the inner court, and 
 over against the pavement which be- 
 longed to the outer court, was gallery 
 
 4 against gallery 12 in the third story. And 
 before the chambers was a walk of ten 
 cubits breadth inward, a way of 13 one 
 cubit; and their doors were toward the 
 
 5 north. Now the upper chambers were 
 shorter: for the galleries took away 
 from these, more than from the lower 
 and the middlemost, in the building. 
 
 6 For they were in three stories, and they 
 had not pillars as the pillars of the 
 courts: therefore the uppermost was 
 straitened more than the lowest and the 
 
 7 middlemost from the ground. And the 
 14 wall that was without by the side of 
 the chambers, toward the outer court 
 before the chambers, the length thereof 
 
 8 was fifty cubits. For the length of the 
 chambers that were in the outer court 
 was fifty cubits : and, lo, before the tem- 
 
 9 pie were an hundred cubits. And from 
 under these chambers was the entry on 
 the east side, as one goetli into them 
 
 10 from the outer court. In the thickness 
 of the 14 wall of the court toward the 
 east, before the separate place, and be- 
 fore the building, there were chambers. 
 
 11 And the way before them was like the 
 appearance of the way of the chambers 
 which were toward the north ; 15 accord- 
 ing to their length so was their breadth : 
 and all their goings out were both ac- 
 cording to their fashions, and according 
 
 12 to their doors. And according to the 
 doors of the chambers that were to- 
 ward the south was a door in the head 
 of the way, even the way directly be- 
 fore the 14 wall toward the east, as one 
 
 13 entereth into them. Then said he unto

 the feast he shall prepare a burnt of- 
 fering to the Lord, seven bullocks and 
 seven rams without blemish daily the 
 seven days ; and a he-goat daily for a 
 
 24 sin offering. And he shall prepare a 
 meal offering, an ephah for a bullock, 
 and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of 
 
 25 oil to an ephah. In the seventh month , 
 in the fifteenth day of the month, in 
 the feast, shall he do the like the seven 
 days ; according to the sin offering, 
 according to the burnt offering, and 
 according to the meal offering, and ac- 
 cording to the oil. 
 
 46 Thus saith the Lord God : The gate 
 of the inner court that looketh to- 
 ward the east shall be shut the six 
 working days ; but on the sabbath day 
 it shall be opened, and in the day of 
 
 2 the new moon it shall be opened. And 
 the prince shall enter by the way of 
 the porch of the gate without, and 
 shall stand by the post of the gate, 
 and the priests shall prepare his burnt 
 offering and his peace offerings, and he 
 shall worship at the threshold of the 
 gate ; then he shall go forth : but the 
 gate shall not be shut until the evening. 
 
 3 And the people of the land shall wor- 
 ship at the door of that gate before 
 the Lord in the sabbaths and in the 
 
 4 new moons. And the burnt offering 
 that the prince shall offer unto the 
 Lord shall be in the sabbath day six 
 lambs without blemish and a ram with- 
 
 5 out blemish; and the meal offering 
 shall be an ephah for the ram, and 
 the meal offering for the lambs as he is 
 able to give, and an hin of oil to an 
 
 6 ephah. And in the day of the new moon 
 it shall be a young bullock without 
 blemish; and six lambs, and a ram; they 
 
 7 shall be without blemish : and he shall 
 prepare a meal offering, an ephah for 
 the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, 
 and for the lambs according as ^e is 
 
 8 able, and an hin of oil to an ephah. And 
 when the prince shall enter, he shall 
 go in by the way of the porch of the 
 gate, and he shall go forth by the way 
 
 9 thereof. But when the people of the 
 land shall come before the Lord in 
 the appointed feasts, he that entereth 
 by the way of the north gate to worship 
 shall go forth by the way of the south 
 gate ; and he that entereth by the way 
 of the south gate shall go forth by the 
 way of the north gate: he shall not 
 return by the way of the gate whereby 
 he came in, but shall go forth straight 
 
 10 before him. And the prince, when they 
 go in, shall go in in the midst of them ; 
 and when they go forth, 2 they shall go 
 
 11 forth together. And in the feasts and 
 in the 3 solemnities the meal offering 
 shall be an ephah for a bullock, and 
 an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs 
 as he is able to give, and an hin of oil 
 
 12 to an ephah. And when the prince 
 shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt 
 offering or peace offerings as a freewill 
 offering unto the Lord, one shall open 
 for him the gate that looketh toward 
 the east, and he shall prepare his burnt 
 offering and his peace offerings, as he 
 doth on the sabbath day : then he shall 
 go forth ; and after his going forth one 
 
 13 shall shut the gate. And thou shalt 
 prepare a lamb of the first year with- 
 out blemish for a burnt offering unto 
 the Lord daily: morning by morning 
 
 14 shalt thou prepare it. And thou shalt 
 prepare a meal offering with it morning 
 by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, 
 and the third part of an hin of oil, to 
 4 moisten the fine flour ; a meal offering 
 unto the Lord continually by a per- 
 
 15petual ordinance. Thus shall they pre- 
 pare the lamb, and the meal offering, 
 and the oil, morning by morning, for a 
 continual burnt offering. 
 
 16 Thus saith the Lord God: If the 
 prince give a gift unto any of his 
 sons, it is his inheritance, it shall be- 
 long to his sons ; it is their possession 
 
 17 by inheritance. But if he give of his 
 inheritance a gift to one of his servants, 
 it shall be his to the year of liberty; 
 then it shall return to the prince ; but 
 as for his inheritance, it shall be for 
 
 18 his sons. Moreover the prince shall 
 not take of the people’s inheritance, 
 to 5 thrust them out of their posses- 
 sion ; he shall give inheritance to his 
 sons out of his own possession: that 
 my people be not scattered every man 
 from his possession. 
 
 19 Then he brought me through the 
 entry, which was at the side of the 
 gate, into the holy chambers for the 
 priests, which looked toward the north : 
 and behold, there was a place on the 
 
 20 hinder part westward. And he said 
 unto me, This is the place where the 
 priests shall boil the guilt offering and 
 the sin offering, where they shall bake 
 the meal offering; that they bring 
 them not forth into the outer court, to 
 
 21 sanctify the people. Then he brought 
 me forth into the outer court, and 
 caused me to pass by the four corners 
 of the court; and behold, in every 
 corner of the court there was a court. 
 
 22 In the four corners of the court there 
 were courts 6 inclosed, forty cubits long 
 and thirty broad: these four in the 
 
 23 corners were of one measure. And 
 there was a row of building round 
 about in them, round about the four, 
 and it was made with boiling places 
 
 24 under the rows round about. Then 
 said he unto me, These are the boiling 
 houses, where theministers of the house 
 shall boil the sacrifice of the people. 
 
 47 And he brought me back unto 
 the door of the house ; and behold, 
 waters issued out from under the

 7 Or, for 
 
 
 2 house, on the south of the altar. Then 
 
 this land shall fall unto you for in- 
 
 that I 
 
 
 brought he me out by the way of the 
 
 15 heritance. And this shall be the border 
 
 lifted up

 of the land : on the north side, from 
 
 
 
 the way without unto the outer gate, by 
 
 the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, 
 
 
 
 the way of the gate that looketh toward 
 
 16 unto the entering in of Zedad; Ha- 
 
 
 1 Or,

 of the den, and no manner of hurt was 
 
 
 
 10 And when Daniel knew that the writing 
 
 found upon him, because he had trusted 
 
 
 
 was signed, he went into his house ; (now 
 
 24 in his God. And the king commanded, 
 
 
 
 his windows were open in his chamber 
 
 and they brought those men which 
 
 
 
 toward Jerusalem;) and he kneeled 
 
 had accused Daniel, and they cast 
 
 
 
 upon his knees three times a day, and 
 
 them into the den of lions, them, their 
 
 
 
 prayed, and gave thanks before his God, 
 
 children, and their wives ; and the 
 
 
 
 11 as he did aforetime. Then these men 
 
 lions had the mastery of them, and 
 
 
 
 assembled together, and found Daniel 
 
 brake all their bones in pieces, or 
 
 
 
 making petition and supplication before 
 
 ever they came at the bottom of the 
 
 
 
 12 his God. Then they came near, and 
 
 den. 
 
 
 
 spake before the king concerning the 
 
 25 Then king Darius wrote unto all the 
 
 
 
 king’s interdict; Hast thou not signed 
 
 peoples, nations, and languages, that 
 
 
 
 an interdict, that every man that 
 
 dwell in all the earth ; Peace be multi- 
 
 
 
 shall make petition unto any god or 
 
 26 plied unto you. I make a decree, that 
 
 
 
 man within thirty days, save unto 
 
 in all the dominion of my kingdom men 
 
 
 
 thee, 0 king, shall be cast into the den 
 
 tremble and fear before the God of 
 
 
 
 of lions ? The king answered and said, 
 
 Daniel : for he is the living God, and 
 
 
 
 The thing is true, according to the 
 
 stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that 
 
 
 
 law of the Medes and Persians, which 
 
 which shall not be destroyed, and his 
 
 
 
 13 3 alteretli not. Then answered they 
 
 27 dominion shall be even unto the end: he 
 
 
 
 and said before the king, That Daniel, 
 
 deliver eth and rescueth, and he worketli 
 
 
 
 which is of the children of the captivity 
 
 signs and wonders in heaven and in 
 
 
 
 of Judah, regardeth not thee, 0 king, 
 
 earth ; who hath delivered Daniel from 
 
 
 
 nor the interdict that thou hast signed, 
 
 28 the power of the lions. So this Daniel 
 
 
 
 but maketh his petition three times 
 
 prospered in the reign of Darius, and 
 
 
 
 14 a day. Then the king, when he heard 
 
 in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. 
 
 
 
 these words, was sore displeased, and 
 
 7 In the first year of Belshazzar king 
 
 
 
 set his heart on Daniel to deliver him : 
 
 of Babylon Daniel 6 liad a dream and 
 
 6 Aram. 
 
 
 and he laboured till the going down of 
 
 visions of his head upon his bed : then 
 
 
 
 15 the sun to rescue him. Then these men 
 
 he wrote the dream and told the sum 
 
 
 
 assembled together unto the king, and 
 
 2 of the matters. Daniel spake and said, 
 
 
 
 said unto the king, Know, 0 king, that 
 
 I saw in my vision by night, and, be- 
 
 
 
 it is a law of the Medes and Persians, 
 
 hold, the four winds of the heaven 
 
 
 
 that no interdict nor statute which 
 
 3 brake forth upon the great sea. And 
 
 
 
 the king establisheth may be changed. 
 
 four great beasts came up from the 
 
 
 
 16 Then the king commanded, and they 
 
 4 sea, diverse one from another. The first 
 
 
 
 brought Daniel, and cast him into the

 den of lions. Now the king spake and 
 
 I beheld till the wings thereof were 
 
 
 
 said unto Daniel, Thy God whom 
 
 plucked, and it was lifted up from the 
 
 
 
 thou servest continually, he will de- 
 
 earth, and made to stand upon two 
 
 1 0r, as 
 
 
 17 liver thee. And a stone was brought, 
 
 feet as a man, and a man’s heart was 
 
 wise 
 
 
 and laid upon the mouth of the den ; 
 
 5 given to it. And behold another beast, 
 
 read, it 
 raised 
 
 
 and the king sealed it with his own 
 
 a second, like to a bear, and 7 it was 
 
 up one 
 
 
 signet, and with the signet of his lords ; 
 
 raised up on one side, and three ribs

 and they said thus unto it, Arise, de-

 20 the residue with his feet ; and con-

 cerning the ten horns that were on his

 up, and before which three fell ; even 
 
 
 
 7 and dominion was given to it. After 
 
 that horn that had eyes, and a mouth

 that spake great things, whose look was

 that the saints possessed the kingdom.

 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall 
 
 
 
 mong them another horn, a little one, 
 
 be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which 
 
 
 
 before which three of the first horns 
 
 shall be diverse from all the kingdoms,

 and another shall arise after them;

 and he shall be diverse from the former, 
 
 
 
 and the hair of his head like pure wool; 
 
 and he shall put down three kings. 
 
 
 
 his throne was fiery flames, and the

 king Belshazzar a vision appeared

 that which appeared unto me at the

 15 As forme Daniel, my spirit was grieved

 in the midst of 4 my body, and the vis- 
 
 3 Ulai. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and 
 
 
 the 
 
 sheath.

 saw, and, behold, there stood before 
 
 
 
 near unto one of them that stood by,

 and asked him the truth concerning all 
 
 and the two horns were high; but 
 
 
 
 this. So he told me, and made me 
 
 one was higher than the other, and 
 
 
 
 know the interpretation of the things. 
 
 4 the higher came up last. I saw the 
 
 
 
 17 These great beasts, which are four, arg 
 
 ram pushing westward, and north- 
 
 
 
 four kings, which shall arise out of the 
 
 ward, and southward; and no beasts

 there any that could deliver out of his

 19 ever and ever. Then I desired to know 
 
 5 and magnified himself. And as I was 
 
 
 
 the truth concerning the fourth beast, 
 
 considering, behold, an he-goat came

 6 Or, 
 where 
 I had 
 stood 
 
 and the goat had a notable horn be- 
 
 6 tween his eyes. And he came to the 
 ram that had the two horns, which I 
 saw standing before the river, and ran 
 upon him in the fury of his power. 
 
 7 And I saw him come close unto the 
 ram, and he was moved with choler 
 against him, and smote the ram, and 
 brake his two horns ; and there was no 
 power in the ram to stand before him : 
 hut he cast him down to the ground, 
 and trampled upon him ; and there was 
 none that could deliver the ram out of 
 
 8 his hand. And the he-goat magnified 
 himself exceedingly : and when he was 
 strong, the great horn was broken ; 
 and instead of it there came up four 
 notable horns toward the four winds of 
 
 9 heaven. And out of one of them came 
 forth a little horn, which waxed exceed- 
 ing great, toward the south, and toward 
 the east, and toward the glorious land. 
 
 10 And it waxed great, even to the host 
 of heaven ; and some of the host and 
 of the stars it cast down to the ground, 
 
 11 and trampled upon them. Yea, it mag- 
 nified itself, even to the prince of the 
 host ; and 1 it took away from him the 
 continual burnt offering, and the place 
 
 12 of his sanctuary was cast down. And 
 2 the host was given over to it to- 
 gether with the continual burnt offer- 
 ing through transgression ; and it cast 
 down truth to the ground, and it did 
 
 ISits pleasure and prospered. Then I 
 heard a holy one speaking; and an- 
 other holy one said unto that certain 
 one which spake, How long shall be 
 the vision concerning the continual 
 burnt offering , and the transgression 
 that inaketh desolate, to give both the 
 sanctuary and the host to he trodden 
 
 14 under foot? And he said 3 unto me, 
 Unto two thousand and three hundred 
 evenings and mornings ; then shall the 
 sanctuary be 4 cleansed. 
 
 15 And it came to pass, when I, even I 
 Daniel, had seen the vision, that I 
 sought 5 to understand it ; and, behold, 
 there stood before me as the appearance 
 
 16 of a man. And I heard a man’s voice be- 
 tween the banhs of Ulai, which called, 
 and said, Gabriel, make this man to 
 
 17 understand the vision. So he came near 
 where I stood ; and when he came, I was 
 affrighted, and fell upon my face : hut 
 he said unto me, Understand, 0 son 
 of man; for the vision belongeth to 
 
 18 the time of the end. Now as he was 
 speaking with me, I fell into a deep 
 sleep with my face toward the ground: 
 hut he touched me, and set me 6 up- 
 
 19 right. And he said, Behold, I will 
 make thee know what shall be in the 
 latter time of the indignation : for it 
 belongeth to the appointed time of 
 
 20 the end. The ram which thou sawest 
 that had the two horns, they are the 
 
 21 kings of Media and Persia. And the 
 
 rough he-goat is the king of 7 Greece : 
 and the great horn that is between his 
 
 22 eyes is the first king. And as for that 
 which was broken, in the place where- 
 of four stood up, four kingdoms shall 
 stand up out of the nation, but not 
 
 23 with his power. And in the latter 
 time of their kingdom, when the trans- 
 gressors are come to the full, a king of 
 fierce countenance, and understanding 
 
 24 dark sentences, shall stand up. And 
 his power shall be mighty, but not 8 by 
 his own power ; and he shall 9 destroy 
 wonderfully, and shall prosper and do 
 his pleasure : and he shall 9 destroy the 
 mighty ones and 10 the holy people. 
 
 25 And through his policy he shall cause 
 craft to prosper in his hand; and he 
 shall magnify himself in his heart, 
 and in their security shall he 9 destroy 
 many : he shall also stand up against 
 the prince of princes ; but he shall he 
 
 26 broken without hand. And the vision 
 of the evenings and mornings which 
 hath been told is true : but shut thou 
 up the vision ; for it belongeth to many 
 
 27 days to come. And I Daniel fainted, 
 and was sick certain days ; then I rose 
 up, and did the king’s business: and I 
 was astonished at the vision, 11 but none 
 understood it. 
 
 Q In the first year of Darius the son 
 of Aliasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, 
 which was made king over the realm 
 
 2 of the Chaldeans; in the first year 
 of his reign I Daniel understood by 
 the books the number of the years, 
 whereof the word of the Lord came to 
 Jeremiah the prophet, for the accom- 
 plishing of the desolations of Jerusa- 
 
 3 lem, even seventy years. And I set my 
 face unto the Lord God, 12 to seek by 
 prayer and supplications, with fast- 
 
 4 ing, and sackcloth, and ashes. And I 
 prayed unto the Lord my God, and 
 made confession, and said, 0 Lord, 
 the great and dreadful God, which 
 keepetli covenant and mercy with them 
 that love him and keep his command- 
 
 5 ments ; we have sinned, and have 
 dealt perversely, and have done wick- 
 edly, and have rebelled, even turning 
 aside from thy precepts and from thy 
 
 6 judgements: neither have we heark- 
 ened unto thy servants the prophets, 
 which spake in thy name to our kings, 
 our princes, and our fathers, and to all 
 
 7 the people of the land. O Lord, right- 
 eousness belongeth unto thee, but unto 
 us confusion of face, as at this day; 
 to the men of Judah, and to the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem, and unto all 
 Israel, that are near, and that are far 
 off, through all the countries whither 
 thou hast driven them, because of their 
 trespass that they have trespassed a-

 of our king the princes 1 made 2 them- 
 selves sick with the heat of wine ; he 
 stretched out his hand with scorners. 
 
 6 For they have 3 made ready their heart 
 like an oven, whiles they lie in wait : 
 4 their baker sleepeth all the night ; in 
 the morning it burneth as a flaming fire. 
 
 7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour 
 their judges ; all their kings are fallen : 
 there is none among them that calleth 
 
 8 unto me. Ephraim, he mixeth himself 
 among the peoples ; Ephraim is a cake 
 
 9 not turned. Strangers have devoured 
 his strength, and he knoweth^ not: yea, 
 gray hairs are 5 here and there upon him, 
 
 10 and he knoweth it not. And the 6 pride 
 of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they 
 have not returned unto the Lord their 
 
 11 God, nor sought him, for all this. And 
 Ephraim is like a silly dove, without 
 7 understanding : they call unto Egypt, 
 
 12 they go to Assyria. When they shall go, 
 I will spread my net upon them ; I will 
 bring them down as the fowls of the 
 heaven: I will chastise them, 8 as their 
 
 13 congregation hath heard. Woe unto 
 them ! for they have wandered from me ; 
 destruction unto them ! for they have 
 trespassed against me : though I would 
 redeem them, yet they have spoken lies 
 
 14 against me. And they have not cried 
 unto me with their heart, but they howl 
 upon their beds : 9 they assemble them- 
 selves for corn and wine, they rebel a- 
 
 15 gainst me. Though I have 10 taught and 
 strengthened their arms, yet do they 
 
 16 imagine mischief against me. They 
 return, but not to him that is on high ; 
 they are like a deceitful bow : their 
 princes shall fall by the sword for the 
 rage of their tongue : this shall be their 
 derision in the land of Egypt. 
 
 S 11 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As 
 an eagle he cometh against the house 
 of the Lord : because they have trans- 
 gressed my covenant, and trespassed a- 
 
 2 gainst my law. They shall cry unto me, 
 
 3 My God, we Israel know thee. Israel 
 hath cast off that which is good : the en- 
 
 4 emy shall pursue him . They have set up 
 kings, but not by me ; 12 they have made 
 princes, and I knew it not : of their sil- 
 ver and their gold have they made them 
 
 5 idols, that they may be cut off. He hath 
 cast off thy calf, O Samaria ; mine anger 
 is kindled against them : how long will 
 
 6 it be ere they attain to innocency ? For 
 from Israel is even this; the workman 
 made it, and it is no God : yea, the calf of 
 
 7 Samaria shall be broken in pieces. For 
 they sow the wind, and they shall reap 
 the whirlwind: 13 he hath no standing 
 corn ; the blade shall yield no meal ; if 
 so be it yield, strangers shall swallow 
 
 8 it up. Israel is swallowed up- noware 
 
 they among the nations as a vessel 
 
 9 wherein is no pleasure For they are 
 gone up to Assyria, lihe a wild ass alone 
 by himself: Ephraim hath hired 14 lov- 
 
 10 ers. Yea, though they hire among the 
 nations, now will I gather them ; and 
 they 15 begin to be minislied by reason 
 of the burden of the 16 king of princes. 
 
 11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied al- 
 tars to sin, altars have been unto him 
 
 12 to sin. 17 Though I write for him my 
 law in ten thousand precepts, they are 
 
 13 counted as a strange thing. As for 
 the sacrifices of mine offerings, they 
 sacrifice flesh and eat it ; but the Lord 
 accepteth them not: now will he re- 
 member their iniquity, and visit their 
 
 14 sins ; they shall return to Egypt. For 
 Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and 
 builded 18 palaces; and Judah hath 
 multiplied fenced cities: but I will 
 send a fire upon his cities, and it shall 
 devour the 19 castles thereof. 
 
 9 Rejoice not, O Israel, 20 for joy, like the 
 peoples ; 21 for thou hast gone a whor- 
 ing from thy God, thou hast loved hire 
 
 2 upon every cornfloor. The threshing- 
 floor and the winepress shall not feed 
 them, and the new wine shall fail her. 
 
 3 They shall not dwell in the Lord’s land; 
 but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and 
 they shall eat unclean food in Assyria. 
 
 4 They shall not pour out wine offerings 
 to the Lord, 22 neither shall they be 
 pleasing unto him : their sacrifices 
 shall be unto them as the bread of 
 mourners ; all that eat thereof shall be 
 polluted: for their bread shall be for

 5 house of the Lord. What will ye do in 
 the day of solemn assembly, and in the 
 
 6 day of the feast of the Lord ? For, lo, 
 they are gone away from destruction, 
 yet Egypt shall gather them up, Mem- 
 phis shall bury them: their pleasant 
 things of silver, nettles shall possess 
 them: thorns shall be in their tents. 
 
 7 The days of visitation are come, the 
 days of recompence are come; Israel 
 shall know it: the prophet is a fool, 
 the man that hath the spirit is mad, for 
 the multitude of thine iniquity, and 
 
 8 because the enmity is great. Ephraim 
 23 was a watchman with my God: as 
 for the prophet, a fowler’s snare is in 
 all his ways, and enmity in the house of 
 
 9 his God. They have deeply corrupted 
 themselves, as in the days of Gibeah : 
 he will remember their iniquity, he 
 
 10 will visit their sins. I found Israel like 
 grapes in the wilderness ; I saw your 
 fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree 
 at her first season : but they came to 
 Baal-peor, and 24 consecrated them- 
 selves unto the 25 shameful thing, and 
 became abominable like that which 
 
 11 they loved. As for Ephraim, their glory 
 shall fly away like a bird : there shall 
 be no birth, and none with child, and

 11 When Israel was a child, then I loved

 made supplication unto him : he found 
 him at Beth-el, and there he spake with 
 
 5 us ; 3 even the Lord, the God of hosts ; 
 
 6 the Lord is his memorial. Therefore 
 turn thou to thy God : keep mercy and 
 judgement, and wait on thy God con- 
 tinually. 
 
 7 ±He is 5 a trafficker, the balances of 
 deceit are in his hand : he loveth to 6 op - 
 
 8 press. And Ephraim said, Surely I am 
 become rich, I have found me wealth : 
 in all my labours they shall find in 
 
 9 me none iniquity that were sin. But I 
 am the Lord thy God from the land of 
 Egypt ; I will yet again make thee to 
 dwell in tents, as in the days of the sol- 
 
 10 emn feast. I have also spoken unto the 
 prophets, and I have multiplied visions; 
 and 7 by the ministry of the prophets 
 
 11 have I used similitudes. Is Gilead 
 iniquity? they are altogether vanity; 
 in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks : yea, 
 their altars 8 are as heaps in the fur- 
 
 12 rows of the field. And Jacob fled into 
 the field of Aram, and Israel served 
 for a wife, and for a wife he kept 
 
 18 sheep. And by a prophet the Lord 
 brought Israel up out of Egypt, and 
 by a prophet was he 9 preserved. 
 
 14 Ephraim hath provoked to anger most 
 bitterly: therefore shall his blood be 
 left upon him, and his reproach shall 
 his Lord return unto him. 
 
 13 When Ephraim 10 spake, there was 
 trembling ; he exalted himself in Israel: 
 but when he 11 offended in Baal, he died. 
 
 2 And now they sin more and more, and 
 have made them molten images of their 
 silver, even idols according to their 
 own understanding, all of them the 
 work of the craftsmen: they say of them, 
 Let 12 the men that sacrifice kiss the 
 
 3 calves. Therefore they shall be as the 
 morning cloud, and as the dew that 
 passetli early away, as the chaff that is 
 driven with the whirlwind out of the 
 threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of 
 
 4 the chimney. Yet I am the Lord thy 
 God from the land of Egypt ; and thou 
 13 shalt know no god but me, and beside 
 
 5 me there is no saviour. I did know thee 
 in the wilderness, in the land of great 
 
 6 drought. According to their pasture, 
 so were they filled; they were filled, 
 and their heart was exalted : therefore 
 
 7 have they forgotten me. Therefore 
 am I unto them as a lion : as a leopard 
 
 8 will I watch by the way : I will meet 
 them as a bear that is bereaved of her 
 whelps, and will rend the caul of their 
 heart: and there will I devour them 
 
 like a lion; the wild beast shall tear 
 
 9 them. 14 It is thy destruction, 0 Israel, 
 15 that thou art against me, against thy 
 
 10 help. Where now is thy king, that he 
 may save thee in all thy cities ? and thy 
 judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me 
 
 11a king and princes ? I have given thee 
 a king in mine anger, and have taken 
 
 12 him away in my wrath. The iniquity 
 of Ephraim is bound up ; his sin is laid 
 
 13 up in store. The sorrows of a travailing 
 woman shall come upon him : he is an 
 unwise son; 16 for it is time he should 
 not tarry in the place of the breaking 
 
 14 forth of children. I will ransom them 
 from the 17 power of 18 the grave; I 
 will redeem them from death : O death, 
 19 where are thy plagues? O 18 grave, 
 19 where is thy destruction ? repentance 
 
 15 shall be hid from mine eyes. Though 
 he be fruitful among his brethren, an 
 east wind shall come, the 20 breath of 
 the Lord coming up from the wilder- 
 ness, and his spring shall become dry, 
 and his fountain shall be dried up : 21 he 
 shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant 
 
 16 vessels. Samaria shall 22 bear her guilt ; 
 for she hath rebelled against her God : 
 they shall fall by the sword; their 
 infants shall be dashed in pieces, 
 and their women with child shall be 
 ripped up. 
 
 14 O Israel, return unto the Lord thy 
 God; for thou hast fallen by thine 
 
 2 iniquity. Take with you words, and 
 return unto the Lord : say unto him, 
 Take away all iniquity, and 23 accept 
 that which is good : so will we render 
 24 as bullocks the offering of our lips. 
 
 3 Asshur shall not save us ; we will not 
 ride upon horses : neither will we say 
 any more to the work of our hands, Ye 
 are our gods : for in thee the fatherless 
 
 4 findeth mercy. I will heal their back- 
 sliding, I will love them freely: for 
 mine anger is turned away from him. 
 
 51 will be as the dew unto Israel: he 
 shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth 
 
 6 his roots as Lebanon. His branches 
 shall spread, and his beauty shall be 
 as the olive tree, and his smell as 
 
 7 Lebanon. They that dwell under his 
 shadow shall return ; they shall revive 
 as the corn, and blossom as the vine : 
 25 the scent thereof shall be as the wine 
 
 8 of Lebanon. 26 Ephraim shall say, What 
 have I to do any more with idols ? I 
 have answered, and will regard him : 
 I am like a green fir tree ; from me is 
 
 9 thy fruit found. Who is wise, and he 
 shall understand these things ? pru- 
 dent, and he shall know them? for 
 the ways of the Lord are right, and 
 the just shall walk in them; but trans- 
 gressors shall fall therein.

 of Judah, and there eat bread, and

 shall take him up, even he that burneth 
 
 
 
 him, to bring out the bones out of the

 say, No ; then shall he say, Hold thy 
 peace ; for we may not make mention

 7 Thus he shewed me : and, behold, 
 the Lord stood 6 beside a wall made

 hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, 
 Surely I will never forget any of their

 8 works. Shall not the land tremble for 
 
 
 
 Shis hand. And the Lord said unto 
 me, Amos, what seest thou? And I 
 said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, 
 Behold, I will set a plumbline in the 
 midst of my people Israel ; I will not 
 9 again pass by them any more : and the 
 high places of Isaac shall be desolate, 
 and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be 
 laid waste ; and I will rise against the 
 house of Jeroboam with the sword. 
 
 10 Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el 
 sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, 
 Amos hath conspired against thee in 
 the midst of the house of Israel: the 
 land is not able to bear all his words. 
 
 11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall 
 die by the sword, and Israel shall sure- 
 
 this, and every one mourn that dwell- 
 eth therein? yea, it shall rise up 
 wholly like the Kiver ; and it shall be 
 troubled and sink again, like the River 
 9 of Egypt. And it shall come to pass 
 in that day, saith the Lord God, that 
 I will cause the sun to go down at 
 noon, and I will darken the earth in 
 
 10 the clear day. And I will turn your 
 feasts into mourning, and all your 
 songs into lamentation; and I will 
 bring up sackcloth upon all loins, 
 and baldness upon every head; and 
 
 I will make it as the mourning for 
 an only son, and the end thereof as 
 
 11 a bitter day. Behold, the days come,

 1 Now the word of the Lord came unto 
 
 2 Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, 
 go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry 
 against it; for their wickedness is 
 
 3 come up before me. But Jonah rose 
 up to flee unto Tarshish from the 
 presence of the Lord; and he went 
 down to Joppa, and found a ship going 
 to Tarshish : so he paid the fare there- 
 of, and went down into it, to go with 
 them unto Tarshish from the presence 
 
 4 of the Lord. But the Lord 1 sent out a 
 great wind into the sea, and there was 
 a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the 
 
 5 ship was like to be broken. Then the 
 mariners were afraid, and cried every 
 man unto his god; and they cast 
 forth the wares that were in the ship 
 into the sea, to lighten it unto them. 
 But Jonah was gone down into the 
 innermost parts of the ship; and he 
 
 6 lay, and was fast asleep. So the ship- 
 master came to him, and said unto him, 
 What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, 
 call upon thy God, if so be that God 
 will think upon us, that we perish not. 
 
 7 And they said every one to his fellow, 
 
 Come, and let us cast lots, that we 
 may know for whose cause this evil 
 is upon us. So they cast lots, and

 they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, 
 for whose cause this evil is upon us ; 
 what is thine occupation ? and whence 
 comest thou? what is thy country? and 
 
 9 of what people art thou? And he said 
 unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I 
 fear the Lord, the God of heaven, 
 which hath made the sea and the 
 
 10 dry land. Then were the men exceed- 
 ingly afraid, and said unto him, What 
 is this that thou hast done? For the 
 men knew that he fled from the pre- 
 sence of the Lord, because he had 
 
 11 told them. Then said they unto him, 
 What shall we do unto thee, that the 
 sea may be cahn unto us? for the sea 
 grew more and more tempestuous. 
 
 12 And he said unto them, Take me up, 
 and cast me forth into the sea ; so 
 shall the sea be calm unto you : for I 
 know that for my sake this great tem-

 1 The word of the Lord that came to 
 Micah the Moraslitite in the days of 
 Jotham, Aliaz, and Hezekiah, kings 
 of Judah, which he saw concerning 
 Samaria and Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Hear, ye peoples, all of you ; hearken, 
 0 earth, and 1 all that therein is: and 
 let the Lord God be witness 2 against 
 you, the Lord from his holy temple. 
 
 3 For, behold, the Lord cometli forth out 
 of his place, and will come down, and 
 tread upon the high places of the earth. 
 
 4 And the mountains shall be molten 
 under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, 
 as wax before the fire, as waters that 
 
 5 are poured down a steep place. For the 
 transgression of Jacob is all this, and 
 for the sins of the house of Israel. 
 What is the transgression of Jacob ? is 
 it not Samaria ? and what are the high 
 places of Judah? are they not Jerusa- 
 
 6 lem ? Therefore I will make Samaria as 
 an heap of the field, and as the plantings 
 of a vineyard: and I will pour down 
 the stones thereof into the valley, and I 
 will discover the foundations thereof. 
 
 7 And all her graven images shall be beat- 
 en to pieces, and all her hires shall be 
 burned with fire, and all her idols will I 
 lay desolate : for of the hire of an harlot 
 hath she gathered them, and unto the 
 hire of an harlot shall they return. 
 
 8 For this will I wail and howl, I will go 
 stripped and naked : I will make a wail- 
 ing like the jackals, and a mourning like 
 
 9 the ostriches. For her wounds are in- 
 curable : for it is come even unto Judah ; 
 it reacheth unto the gate of my people, 
 
 10 even to Jerusalem. Tell it not in Gath, 
 weep not at all: at 3 Beth-le-Aphrah 
 
 11 4 have I rolled myself in the dust. Pass 
 ye away, O 5 inhabitant of Shaphir, in 
 nakedness and shame: the 5 inhabitant 
 of Zaanan is not come forth; the wail- 
 ing of Beth-ezel shall take from you 
 
 12 the 6 stay thereof. For the 5 inhabitant 
 of Marotli 7 waiteth anxiously for good : 
 because evil is come down from the 
 
 13 Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem. Bind 
 the chariot to the swift steed, O 5 in- 
 habitant of Lachish: she was the be- 
 ginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; 
 for the transgressions of Israel were 
 
 14 found in thee. Therefore shalt thou 
 give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath . 
 the houses of Achzib shall be 8 a deceit - 
 
 15 ful thing unto the kings of Israel. I 
 will yet bring unto thee, 0 inhabitant 
 of Mareshah, him that shall possess 
 thee : the glory of Israel shall come even 
 
 16 unto Adullam. Make thee bald, and poll 
 
 thee for the children of thy delight: 
 enlarge thy baldness as the 9 eagle ; for 
 they are gone into captivity from thee. 
 
 2 Woe to them that devise iniquity and 
 work evil upon their beds ! when the 
 morning is light, they practise it, be- 
 cause it is in the power of their hand. 
 
 2 And they covet fields, and seize them ; 
 and houses, and take them away : and 
 they oppress a man and his house, 
 
 3 even a man and his heritage. There- 
 fore thus saith the Lord: Behold, 
 against this family do I devise an evil, 
 from which ye shall not remove your 
 necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; 
 
 4 for it is an evil time. In that day shall 
 they take up a parable against you, 
 and lament 10 with a doleful lament- 
 ation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: 
 he cliangeth the portion of my people : 
 how doth he 11 remove it from me ! to 
 the rebellious he divideth our fields. 
 
 5 Therefore thou shalt have none that 
 shall cast the line by lot in the congreg- 
 
 6 ation of the Lord. 12 Prophesy ye not, 
 thus they prophesy. They shall not 
 prophesy 13 to these : reproaches shall 
 
 7 not depart. 14 Shall it be said, O house 
 of Jacob, Is the spirit of the Lord 
 15 straitened ? are these his doings ? Do 
 not my words do good to him that walk- 
 
 8 eth uprightly ? But 16 of late my people 
 is risen up as an enemy : ye strip the 
 robe from off the garment from them 
 that pass by securely as men averse from 
 
 9 war. The women of my people ye cast 
 out from their pleasant houses ; from 
 their young children ye take away my 
 
 10 glory for ever. Arise ye, and depart ; 
 for this is not your rest: because of 
 uncleanness 17 that destroyeth, even 
 
 11 with a grievous destruction. If a man 
 walking 18 in wind and falsehood do lie, 
 saying , I will prophesy unto thee of 
 wine and of strong drink ; he shall even 
 be the prophet of this people. 
 
 12 I will surely assemble, O J acob, all of 
 thee ; I will surely gather the remnant 
 of Israel ; I will put them together as 
 the sheep of Bozrah : as a flock in the 
 midst of their pasture, they shall make 
 great noise by reason of the multitude 
 
 13 of men. The breaker is gone up be- 
 fore them: they have broken forth and 
 passed on to the gate, and are gone 
 out thereat: and their king is passed 
 on before them, and the Lord at the 
 head of them.

 which ye will not believe though it be 
 
 6 told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chal- 
 deans, that bitter and hasty nation; 
 which march through the breadth of 
 the earth, to possess dwelling places 
 
 7 that are not theirs. 2 They are terrible 
 and dreadful: their judgement and 
 their dignity proceed from themselves. 
 
 8 Their horses also are swifter than leo- 
 pards, and are more fierce than the 
 evening wolves; and their horsemen 
 3 spread themselves : yea, their horse- 
 men come from far; they fly as an 
 
 9 eagle that liasteth to devour. They 
 come all of them for violence; 4 their 
 faces are set eagerly 5 as the east wind ; 
 and they gather captives as the sand. 
 
 10 6 Yea, he scoff eth at kings, and princes 
 are a derision unto him : he derideth 
 every strong hold ; for he heapeth up 
 
 11 dust, and taketh it. 7 Then shall he 
 sweep by as a wind, and shall 8 pass 
 over, and be guilty: even he whose 
 
 12 might is his god. Art not thou from 
 everlasting, O Lord my God, mine 
 Holy One ? 9 we shall not die. O Lord, 
 thou hast ordained him for judgement ; 
 and thou, 0 10 Rock, hast established 
 
 13 him for correction. Thou that art 
 of purer eyes than to behold evil, and 
 that canst not look on perverseness, 
 wherefore lookest thou upon them 
 that deal treacherously, and holdest 
 thy peace when the wicked swallow- 
 etli up the man that is more righteous. 
 
 14 than he ; and makest men as the fishes 
 of the sea, as the creeping things, that 
 
 15 have no ruler over them ? He taketh 
 up all of them with the angle, he catch - 
 eth them in his net, and gatliereth them 
 in his drag : therefore he rejoiceth and 
 
 16 is glad. Therefore he sacrificeth unto 
 his net, and burneth incense unto his 
 drag; because by them his portion is 
 
 17 fat, and his meat 11 plenteous. Shall he 
 therefore empty his net, and not spare 
 to slay the nations continually ? 
 
 2 I will stand upon my watch, and 
 set me upon the 12 tower, and will 
 look forth to see what he will speak 
 13 with me, and what I shall answer 
 
 2 concerning my complaint. And the 
 Lord answered me, and said, Write 
 the vision, and make it plain upon 
 tables, that he may run that readeth it. 
 
 3 For the vision is yet for the appointed 
 time, and it 14 hasteth toward the end, 
 and shall not lie : though it tarry, wait 
 for it; because it will surely come, it 
 
 4 will not delay. Behold, his soul is 
 puffed up, it is not 15 upright in him: 
 but the just shall live 16 by his faith. 
 
 5 17 Yea, moreover, wine is a treacherous 
 dealer, a haughty man, and 18 that keep- 
 eth not at home ; who enlargeth his de- 
 sire as 19 hell, and he is as death, and 
 cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto 
 
 him all nations, and heapeth unto him 
 
 6 all peoples. Shall not all these take up 
 a parable against him, and a taunting 
 20 proverb against him, and say, Woe to 
 him that increasetli that which is not 
 his ! how long ? and that ladeth himself 
 
 7 with pledges ! Shall they not rise up 
 suddenly that shall 21 bite thee, and 
 awake that shall 22 vex thee, and thou 
 
 8 shalt be for booties unto them ? Be- 
 cause thou hast spoiled many nations, 
 all the remnant of the peoples shall 
 spoil thee ; because of men’s blood, and 
 for the violence done to the land, to 
 the city and to all that dwell therein. 
 
 9 Woe to him that getteth an evil gain 
 for his house, that he may set his nest 
 on high, that he may be delivered from 
 
 10 the hand of evil ! Thou hast consulted 
 shame to thy house, by cutting off 
 many peoples, and hast sinned against 
 
 11 thy soul. For the stone shall cry out 
 of the wall, and the beam out of the 
 timber shall answer it. 
 
 12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with 
 blood, and stablisheth a city by in 
 
 13 iquity ! Behold, is it not of the Lord 
 of hosts that the peoples labour for the 
 fire, and the nations weary themselves 
 
 14 for vanity? For the earth shall be 
 filled with the knowledge of the glory of 
 the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. 
 
 15 Woe unto him that giveth his neigh- 
 bour drink, that 23 addest thy 24 venom 
 thereto, and makest him drunken also, 
 that thou mayest look on their naked- 
 
 16 ness ! Thou art filled with shame for 
 glory: drink thou also, and 25 be as one 
 uncircumcised: the cup of the Lord’s 
 right hand shall be turned unto thee, 
 and foul shame shall be upon thy glory. 
 
 17 For the violence done to Lebanon shall 
 cover thee, and the destruction of the 
 beasts, 26 which made them afraid ; be- 
 cause of men’s blood, and for the vio- 
 lence done to the land, to the city and 
 to all that dwell therein. 
 
 18 What profiteth the graven image, 
 that the maker thereof hath graven 
 it ; the molten image, and the teacher 
 of lies, that the maker of 27 his work 
 trusteth therein, to make dumb idols ? 
 
 19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, 
 Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise! 
 Shall this teach ? Behold, it is laid over 
 with gold and silver, and there is no 
 
 20 breath at all in the midst of it. But 
 the Lord is in his holy temple: 28 let 
 all the earth keep silence before him.

 8 And it shall come to pass in the day 
 of the Lord’s sacrifice, that I will 
 2 punish the princes, and the king’s 
 sons, and all such as are clothed with 
 
 9 foreign apparel. And in that day I 
 will 2 punish all those that leap over 
 the threshold, which fill their master’s 
 
 10 house with violence and deceit. And in 
 that day, saith the Lord, there shall he 
 the noise of a cry from the fish gate, 
 and an howling from the 8 second quar- 
 ter, and a great crashing from the hills. 
 
 11 Howl, ye inhabitants of 4 Maktesh, for 
 all 5 the people of Canaan are undone: 
 all they that were laden with silver are 
 
 12 cut off. And it shall come to pass at 
 that time, that I will search Jerusalem 
 with 6 candles; and I will 2 punish tlie 
 men that are 7 settled on their lees, that 
 say in their heart, The Lord will not 
 
 13 do good, neither will he do evil. And 
 their wealth shall become a spoil, and 
 their houses a desolation : yea, they 
 shall build houses, but shall not inhabit 
 them ; and they shall plant vineyards, 
 but shall not drink the wine thereof. 
 
 14 The great day of the Lord is near, it 
 is near and liastetli greatly, even the 
 voice of the day of the Lord; the 
 
 15 mighty man crieth there bitterly. That 
 day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble 
 and distress, a day of wasteness and 
 desolation, a day of darkness and 
 gloominess, a day of clouds and thick 
 
 16 darkness, a day of the trumpet and 
 alarm, against the fenced cities, and 
 
 17 against the high 8 battlements. And I 
 will bring distress upon men, that they 
 shall walk like blind men, because they 
 have sinned against the Lord : and 
 their blood shall be poured out as dust, 
 
 18 and their flesh as dung. Neither their 
 silver nor their gold shall be able to 
 deliver them in the day of the Lord’s 
 wrath; but the whole land shall be 
 devoured by the fire of his jealousy: 
 for he shall make an end, yea, a 
 9 terrible end, of all them that dwell 
 in the land. 
 
 2 Gather yourselves together, yea, 
 gather together, 0 nation that hath no 
 
 2 10 shame ; before the decree bring forth, 
 ll before the day pass as the chaff, be- 
 fore the fierce anger of the Lord come 
 upon you, before the day of the Lord’s 
 
 3 anger come upon you. Seek ye the 
 Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which 
 have wrought his judgement; seek 
 righteousness, seek meekness : it may 
 be ye shall be hid in the day of the 
 
 4 Lord’s anger. For Gaza shall be for- 
 saken, and Ashkelon a desolation : they 
 shall drive out Ashdod at the noon- 
 day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 
 
 5 Woe unto the inhabitants of 12 the sea 
 
 coast, the nation of the Clierethites! 
 The word of the Lord is against you, 
 
 0 Canaan, the land of the Philistines ; 
 
 1 will destroy thee, that there shall be 
 
 6 no inhabitant. And the sea coast shall 
 be pastures, with 13 cottages for shep- 
 
 7 herds and folds for flocks. And the coast 
 shall be for the remnant of the house of 
 Judah ; they shall feed their flochs there- 
 upon : in the houses of Ashkelon shall 
 they lie down in the evening ; for the 
 Lord their God shall visit them, and 
 
 8 bring again their captivity. I have 
 heard the reproach of Moab, and the 
 revilings of the children of Ammon, 
 wherewith they have reproached my 
 people, and magnified themselves a- 
 
 9 gainst their border. Therefore as I 
 live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
 of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as 
 Sodom, and the children of Ammon as 
 Gomorrah, a possession of 14 nettles, and 
 saltpits, and a perpetual desolation : 
 the residue of my people shall spoil 
 them, and the remnant of my nation 
 
 10 shall inherit them. This shall they 
 have for their pride, because they 
 have reproached and magnified them- 
 selves against the people of the Lord 
 
 11 of hosts. The Lord will be terrible 
 unto them : for he will famish all the 
 gods of the earth ; and men shall wor- 
 ship him, every one from his place, 
 
 12 even all the 15 isles of the nations. Ye 
 Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my 
 
 13 sword. And he will stretch out his hand 
 against the north, and destroy Assyria ; 
 and will make Nineveh a desolation, 
 
 14 and dry like the wilderness. And herds 
 shall lie down in the midst of her, 16 all 
 the beasts of the nations : both the peli- 
 can and the porcupine shall lodge in the 
 chapiters thereof : their voice shall sing 
 in the windows ; 17 desolation shall be 
 in the thresholds : for he hath laid bare 
 
 15 the cedar work. This is the joyous city 
 that dwelt carelessly, that said in her 
 heart, I am, and there is none else beside 
 me : how is she become a desolation, a 
 place for beasts to lie down in ! every 
 one that passeth by her shall hiss, and 
 wag his hand. 
 
 3 Woe to her that is rebellious and pol- 
 
 2 luted, to the oppressing city ! She obeyed 
 not the voice; she received not 18 cor- 
 rection ; she trusted not in the Lord ; 
 
 3 she drew not near to her God. Her 
 princes in the midst of her are roaring 
 lions; her judges are evening wolves; 
 they 19 leave nothing till the morrow. 
 
 4 Her prophets are light and treacherous 
 persons : her priests have profaned the 
 sanctuary, they have done violence to 
 
 5 the law. The Lord in the midst of her 
 is righteous; he will not do iniquity; 
 20 every morning doth he bring his 
 judgement to light, he faileth not ; but

 that served them : and ye shall know 
 
 
 
 12 Then the angel of the Lord answered 
 
 that the Lord of hosts hath sent me. 
 
 
 
 and said, 0 Lord of hosts, how long 
 
 10 Sing and rejoice, 0 daughter of Zion : 
 
 
 
 wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem 
 
 for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the 
 
 
 
 and on the cities of Judah, against

 which thou hast had indignation these 
 
 many nations shall join themselves to

 12 of hosts hath sent me unto thee. And

 6 And the angel of the Lord protested 
 
 7 unto Joshua, saying, Thus saitli the 
 Lord of hosts: If thou wilt walk in 
 my ways, and if thou wilt keep my 
 charge, then thou also slialt judge my 
 house, and shalt also keep my courts, 
 and I will give thee 1 a place of access 
 
 8 among these that stand by. Hear now, 
 
 0 Joshua the high priest, thou and thy 
 fellows that sit before thee; for they 
 are men which are a 2 sign : for, behold, 
 
 1 will bring forth my servant the 
 
 9 3 Branch. For behold, the stone that 
 I have set before Joshua; upon one 
 stone are seven eyes : behold, I will 
 engrave the graving thereof, saith the 
 Lord of hosts, and I will remove the 
 
 10 iniquity of that land in one day. In 
 that day, saith the Lord of liosts^ shall 
 ye call every man his neighbour under 
 the vine and under the fig tree. 
 
 4 And the angel that talked with me 
 came again, and waked me, as a man 
 
 2 that is wakened out of his sleep. And 
 he said unto me, What seest thou? 
 And I said, I have seen, and behold, a 
 candlestick all of gold, with its bowl 
 upon the top of it, and its seven lamps 
 thereon ; 4 there are seven pipes to each 
 of the lamps, which are upon the top 
 
 3 thereof : and two olive trees by it, one 
 upon the right side of the bowl, and the 
 
 4 other upon the left side thereof. And I 
 answered and spake to the angel that 
 talked with me, saying, What are these, 
 
 5 my lord ? Then the angel that talked 
 with me answered and said unto me, 
 Knowest thou not what these be ? And 
 
 6 1 said, No, my lord. Then he answered 
 and spake unto me, saying, This is the 
 word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, 
 saying, Not by 5 might, nor by power, 
 but by my spirit, saith the Lord of 
 
 7 hosts. Who art thou, 0 great mount- 
 ain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt be- 
 come a plain : and he shall bring forth 
 the head stone with shoutings of Grace, 
 
 8 grace, unto it. Moreover the word of the 
 
 9 Lord came unto me, saying, The hands 
 of Zerubbabel have laid the founda- 
 tion of this house ; his hands shall also 
 finish it; and thou shalt know that 
 the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto 
 
 10 you. For who hath despised the day 
 of small things ? for they shall rejoice, 
 and shall see the plummet in the hand 
 of Zerubbabel, even these seven, which 
 are the eyes of the Lord ; they run to 
 
 11 and fro through the whole earth. Then 
 answered I, and said unto him, What 
 are these two olive trees upon the 
 right side of the candlestick and upon 
 
 12 the left side thereof ? And I answered 
 the second time, and said unto him, 
 What be these two olive branches, 
 6 which are beside the two golden 
 spouts, that empty 7 the golden oil out 
 
 13 of themselves ? And he answered me 
 
 and said, Knowest thou not what these 
 
 14 be? And I said, No, my lord. Then 
 said he, These are the two sons of oil, 
 that stand by the Lord of the whole 
 earth. 
 
 <5 Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and 
 
 2 saw, and behold, a flying roll. And he 
 said unto me. What seest thou ? And 
 I answered, I see a flying roll; the 
 length thereof is twenty cubits, and 
 
 3 the breadth thereof ten cubits. Then 
 said he unto me, This is the curse 
 that goeth forth over the face of the 
 whole land: for every one that steal - 
 etli shall be purged out 8 on the one 
 side according to it; and every one 
 that sweareth shall be purged out 8 on 
 
 4 the other side according to it. I will 
 cause it to go forth, saith the Lord of 
 hosts, and it shall enter into the house 
 of the thief, and into the house of him 
 that sweareth falsely by my name : and 
 it shall abide in the midst of his house, 
 and shall consume it with the timber 
 thereof and the stones thereof. 
 
 5 Then the angel that talked with me 
 went forth, and said unto me, Lift up 
 now thine eyes, and see what is this that 
 
 6 goeth forth. And I said, What is it? And 
 he said, This is the ephah that goeth 
 forth. He said moreover, This is their 
 
 7 9 resemblance in all the land : (and be- 
 hold, there was lifted up a 10 talent of 
 lead :) and this is a woman sitting in 
 
 8 the midst of the ephah. And he said, 
 This is Wickedness; and he cast her 
 down into the midst of the ephah : and 
 he cast the weight of lead upon the 
 
 9 mouth thereof. Then lifted I up mine 
 eyes, and saw, and behold, there came 
 forth two women, and the wind was in 
 their wings ; now they had wings like 
 the wings of a stork : and they lifted 
 up the ephah between the earth and 
 
 10 the heaven. Then said I to the angel 
 that talked with me, Whither do these 
 
 11 bear the ephah ? And he said unto me, 
 To build her an house in the land of 
 Shinar : and when it is 11 prepared, she 
 shall be set there 12 in her own place. 
 
 6 And again I lifted up mine eyes, and 
 saw, and behold, there came four 
 chariots out from between 13 two mount- 
 ains ; and the mountains were mount- 
 
 2ains of brass. In the first chariot 
 were red horses; and in the second 
 
 3 chariot black horses ; and in the third 
 chariot white horses ; and in the fourth 
 
 4 chariot grisled 14 bay horses. Then I 
 answered and said unto the angel that 
 talked with me, What are these, my 
 
 5 lord? And the angel answered and said 
 unto me, These are the four 15 winds of 
 heaven, which go forth from 16 standing 
 
 6 before the Lord of all the earth. The 
 chariot wherein are the black horses go- 
 eth forth toward the north country; and 
 the white went forth after them ; and 
 the grisled went forth toward the south

 sent 
 
 house of the Lord of hosts, and to the 
 prophets, saying, Should I weep in the 
 fifth month, separating myself, as I 
 
 4 have done these so many years ? Then 
 came the word of the Lord of hosts un- 
 
 5 to me, saying, Speak unto all the people 
 of the land, and to the priests, saying, 
 When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth 
 and in the seventh month , even these 
 seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, 
 
 6 even to me ? And when ye eat, and when 
 
 from the east country, and from the 
 
 8 west country : and I will bring them, 
 and they shall dwell in the midst of 
 J erusalem ; and they shall be my people, 
 and I will be their God, in truth and in 
 
 9 righteousness. Thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts : Let your hands be strong, ye that 
 hear in these days these words from the 
 mouth of the prophets, which were in 
 the day that the foundation of the house 
 of the Lord of hosts was laid, even the

 cried by the former prophets, when Je- 
 rusalem was inhabited and in prosper- 
 ity, and the cities thereof round about

 were inhabited ? 
 
 8 And the word of the Lord came 
 
 man , nor any hire for beast ; nei th er was 
 there any peace to him that went out or 
 came in because of the adversary : for 
 
 I set all men every one against his neigh-

 that, as ye were a curse among the na- 
 tions, 0 house of Judah and house of 
 Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall 
 be a blessing: fear not, hut let your 
 
 14 hands be strong. For thus saitli the 
 Loud of hosts : As I thought to do evil 
 unto you, when your fathers provoked 
 me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, 
 
 15 and I repented not; so again have I 
 thought in these days to do good unto 
 Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: 
 
 16 fear ye not. These are the things that 
 ye shall do ; Speak ye every man the 
 truth with his neighbour ; 1 execute the 
 judgement of truth and peace in your 
 
 17 gates : and let none of you imagine evil 
 in your hearts against his neighbour; 
 and love no false oath : for all these are 
 things that I hate, saith the Lord. 
 
 18 And the word of the Lord of hosts 
 
 19 came unto me, saying, 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 Judah 
 joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; 
 
 20 therefore love truth and peace. Thus 
 saith the Lord of hosts: It shall yet come 
 to pass, that there shall come peoples, 
 and the inhabitants of 2 many cities: 
 
 21 and the inhabitants of one city shall go 
 to another, saying, Let us go speedily 
 to in treat the favour of the Lord, and 
 to seek the Lord of hosts : I will go also. 
 
 22 Yea, many peoples and strong nations 
 shall come to seek the Lord of hosts 
 in Jerusalem, and to intreat the favour 
 
 23 of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of 
 hosts : In those days it shall come to pass, 
 that ten men shall take hold, out of all 
 the languages of the nations, shall even 
 take hold of the skirt of him that is a 
 Jew, saying, We will go with you, for 
 we have heard that God is with you. 
 
 9 The 3 burden of the word of the Lord 
 uj>on the land of Hadrach, and Da- 
 mascus shall he its resting place : for 
 4 the eye of man and of all the tribes 
 
 2 of Israel is toward the Lord : and Ha- 
 math also which borderetli thereon: 
 Tyre and Zidon, 5 because she is very 
 
 3 wise. And Tyre did build herself a 
 strong hold, and heaped up silver as the 
 dust, and fine gold as the mire of the 
 
 4 streets. Behold, the Lord will dispos- 
 sess her, and he will smite 6 her power in 
 the sea ; and she shall be devoured with 
 
 5 fire. Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; 
 Gaza also, and shall be sore pained ; and 
 Ekron, for her expectation shall be 
 ashamed: and the king shall perish from 
 Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhab- 
 
 6ited. And 7 a bastard shall 8 dwell in 
 Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of 
 
 7 the Philistines. And I will take away 
 his blood out of his mouth, and his 
 abominations from between his teeth ; 
 and he also shall be a remnant for our 
 God: and he shall be as a chieftain 
 in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite. 
 
 8 And I will encamp about mine house 
 9 against the army, that none pass 
 through or return : and no 10 oppressor 
 shall pass through them any more: 
 for now have I seen with mine eyes. 
 
 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion ; 
 shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: be- 
 hold, thy king cometh unto thee : 
 he is just, and 11 having 12 salvation; 
 lowly, and riding upon an ass, even 
 
 10 upon a colt the foal of an ass. And I 
 will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, 
 and the horse from Jerusalem, and the 
 battle bow shall be cut off ; and he 
 shall speak peace unto the nations: 
 and his dominion shall be from sea to 
 sea, and from 13 the River to the ends 
 
 11 of the earth. As for thee also, because 
 of the blood of thy covenant I have 
 sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit 
 
 12 wherein is no water. 14 Turn you to the 
 strong hold, ye prisoners of hope : even 
 to-day do I declare that I will render 
 
 13 double unto thee. For I have bent 
 Judah for me, I have filled the bow 
 with Ephraim ; and I will stir up thy 
 sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O 
 15 Greece, and will make thee as the 
 
 14 sword of a mighty man. And the Lord 
 shall be seen over them, and his arrow 
 shall go forth as the lightning : and the 
 Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and 
 shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 
 
 15 The Lord of hosts shall defend them; 
 and they shall devour, and shall tread 
 down the sling stones ; and they shall 
 drink, and make a noise as through 
 wine : and they shall be filled like bowls, 
 
 16 like the corners of the altar. And the 
 Lord their God shall save them in that 
 day as the flock of his people : for they 
 shall he as the stones of a crown, 16 lifted 
 
 17 on high over his land. For how great is 
 17 his 18 goodness, and how great is 17 his 
 beauty! corn shall make the young men 
 flourish, and new wine the maids. 
 
 10 Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time 
 of the latter rain, even q/the Lord that 
 maketli lightnings; and he shall give 
 them showers of rain, to every one 
 
 2 grass in the field. For the teraphim 
 have spoken vanity, and the diviners 
 have seen a lie ; and 19 they have told 
 false dreams, they comfort in vain: 
 therefore they go their way like sheep, 
 they are afflicted, because there is no 
 
 3 shepherd. Mine anger is kindled a- 
 gainst the shepherds, and I will punish

 come forth the corner stone, from him

 shall be as mighty men, treading down 
 their enemies in the mire of the streets 
 in the battle ; and they shall fight, be- 
 cause the Lord is with them : and the 
 riders on horses shall be confounded. 
 
 6 And I will strengthen the house of Ju- 
 dah, and I will save the house of Joseph, 
 and I will 2 bring them again, for I have 
 mercy upon them ; and they shall be as 
 though I had not cast them off : for I 
 am the Lord their God, and I will hear 
 
 7 them. And they of Ephraim shall be 
 like a mighty man, and their heart shall 
 rejoice as through wine : yea, their 
 children shall see it, and rejoice; their 
 
 8 heart shall be glad in the Lord. I will 
 hiss for them, and gather them ; for I 
 have redeemed them: and they shall 
 
 9 increase as they have increased. 3 And 
 I will sow them among the peoples; 
 and they shall remember me in far 
 countries: and they shall live with 
 
 10 their children, and shall return. I will 
 bring them again also out of the land 
 of Egypt, and gather them out of As- 
 syria ; and I will bring them into the 
 land of Gilead and Lebanon ; and 'place 
 
 11 shall not be found for them. And he 
 shall pass through the sea of affliction, 
 and shall smite 4 the waves in the 
 sea, and all the depths of the Nile 
 shall dry up : and the pride of Assyria 
 shall be brought down, and the sceptre 
 
 12 of Egypt shall depart away. And I will 
 strengthen them in the Lord; and they 
 shall walk up and down in his name, 
 saith the Lord. 
 
 11 Open thy doors, 0 Lebanon, that the 
 
 ‘2 fire may devour thy cedars. Howl, 0 fir 
 tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the 
 5 goodly ones are spoiled : howl, 0 ye 
 oaks of Bashan, for the 6 strong forest 
 
 3 is come down. A voice of the howling 
 of the shepherds! for their glory is 
 spoiled : a voice of the roaring of young 
 lions ! for the pride of Jordan is spoiled. 
 
 4 Thus said the Lord my God: Feed the 
 5 flock of slaughter; whose ^possessors 
 
 slay them, and hold themselves not 
 guilty; and they that sell them say, 
 Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich : and 
 8 their own shepherds pity them not. 
 
 6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants 
 of the land, saith the Lord : but, lo, I 
 will deliver the men every one into his 
 neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of 
 his king : and they shall smite the land, 
 and out of their hand I will not deliver 
 
 7 them. So I fed the flock of slaughter, 
 verily 9 the poor of the flock. And 
 I took unto me two staves ; the one I 
 called 10 Beauty, and the other I called 
 
 8 11 Bands; and I fed the flock. And 
 I cut ofl the three shepherds in one 
 month ; for my soul was weary of 
 
 them, and their soul also loathed me. 
 
 9 Then said I, I will not feed you: 
 that that dieth, let it die; and 12 that 
 that is to be cut off, let it be cut 
 off ; and let them which are left eat 
 
 10 every one the flesh of another. And I 
 took my staff Beauty, and cut it a- 
 sunder, that I might break my covenant 
 which I had made with all the peoples. 
 
 11 And it was broken in that day: and 
 13 thus 9 the poor of the flock that gave 
 heed unto me knew that it was the 
 
 12 word of the Lord. And I said unto 
 them, If ye think good, give me my 
 hire; and if not, forbear. So they 
 weighed for my hire thirty pieces of 
 
 13 silver. And the Lord said unto me, 
 Cast it 14 unto the potter, the goodly 
 price that I was prised at of them. 
 And I took the thirty pieces of silver, 
 and cast them 14 unto the potter, in 
 
 14 the house of the Lord. Then I cut 
 asunder mine other staff, even Bands, 
 that I might break the brotherhood 
 between Judah and Israel. 
 
 15 And the Lord said unto me, Take 
 unto thee yet again the instruments of 
 
 16 a foolish shepherd. For, lo, I will raise 
 up a shepherd in the land, which shall 
 not 15 visit those that be 16 cut off, nei- 
 ther shall seek 17 tliose that be scattered, 
 nor heal that that is broken ; neither 
 shall he feed that which 18 is sound, but 
 he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and 
 
 17 shall tear their hoofs in pieces. Woe 
 to the worthless shepherd that leavetli 
 the flock ! the sword shall be upon his 
 arm, and upon his right eye : his arm 
 shall be clean dried up, and his right 
 eye shall be utterly darkened. 
 
 12 The 19 burden of the word of the Lord 
 concerning Israel. 
 
 Thus saith the Lord, which stretch- 
 eth forth the heavens, and layeth the 
 foundation of the earth, and formeth 
 
 2 the spirit of man within him : Behold, 
 I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling 
 unto all the peoples round about, and 
 20 upon Judah also 21 shall it be in the 
 
 3 siege against Jerusalem. And it shall 
 come to pass in that day, that I will 
 make Jerusalem a burdensome stone 
 for all the peoples; all that burden 
 themselves with it shall be sore wound- 
 ed; and all the nations of the earth 
 shall be gathered together against it. 
 
 4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will 
 smite every horse with astonishment, 
 and his rider with madness : and I will 
 open mine eyes upon the house of 
 Judah, and will smite every horse of 
 
 5 the peoples with blindness. And the 
 chieftains of Judah shall say in their 
 heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem 
 are my strength in the Lord of hosts 
 
 6 their God. In that day will I make the 
 chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire

 all the peoples round about, on the right

 shall yet again dwell in her own place, 
 
 7 even in Jerusalem. The Lord also shall 
 save the tents of Judah first, that the 
 glory of the house of David and the 
 glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
 
 8 he not magnified above Judah. In that 
 day shall the Lord defend the inhabit- 
 ants of Jerusalem; and he x that is 
 feeble among them at that day shall he 
 as David ; and the house of David shall 
 be as God, as the angel of the Lord 
 
 9 before them. And it shall come to pass 
 in that day, that I will seek to destroy 
 all the nations that come against Jeru- 
 
 10 salem. And I will pour upon the house 
 of David, and upon the inhabitants of 
 Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of 
 supplication ; and they shall look unto 
 2 me whom they have pierced : and they 
 shall mourn for him, as one mournetli 
 for his only son, and shall he in bitter- 
 ness for him, as one that is in bitterness 
 
 1 1 for his firstborn. In that day shall there 
 be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as 
 the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the 
 
 12 valley of Megiddon. And the land shall 
 mourn, every family apart ; the family 
 of the house of David apart, and their 
 wives apart ; the family of the house of 
 Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 
 
 13 the family of the house of Levi apart, 
 and their wives apart ; the family of the 
 Sliimeites apart, and their wives apart ; 
 
 llall the families that remain, every 
 family apart, and their wives apart. 
 
 13 In that day there shall be a fountain 
 opened to the house of David and 
 to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for 
 
 2 sin and for uncleanness. And it shall 
 come to pass in that day, saith the 
 Lord of hosts, that I will cut off 
 the names of the idols out of the land, 
 and they shall no more be remem- 
 bered : and also I will cause the pro- 
 phets and the unclean spirit to pass 
 
 3 out of the land. And it shall come to 
 pass that, when any shall yet prophesy, 
 then his father and his mother that 
 begat him shall say unto him, Thou 
 shalt not live ; for thou speakest lies 
 in the name of the Lord: and his 
 father and his mother that begat him 
 shall thrust him through when he pro- 
 
 4 phesieth. And it shall come to pass in 
 that day, that the prophets shall be 
 ashamed every one of his vision, when 
 he prophesieth ; neither shall they wear 
 
 5 a hairy mantle to deceive : but he shall 
 say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of 
 the ground; for I have been made a 
 
 6 bondman from my youth. And one shall 
 say unto him, What are these wounds 
 between thine 3 arms ? Then he shall 
 answer, Those with which I was 
 wounded in the house of my 4 friends. 
 
 7 Awake, 0 sword, against my shep- 
 
 herd, and against the man that is my 
 fellow, saith the Lord of hosts : smite 
 the shepherd, and the sheep shall 
 be scattered ; and I will turn mine 
 
 8 hand upon the little ones. And it 
 shall come to pass, that in all the 
 land, saith the Lord, two parts there- 
 in shall be cut off and die; but the 
 
 9 third shall be left therein. And I 
 will bring the third part through the 
 fire, and will refine them as silver is 
 refined, and will try them as gold is 
 tried : they shall call on my name, and 
 I will hear them : I will say, It is my 
 people ; and they shall say, The Lord 
 is my God. 
 
 14 Behold, a day of the Lord cometh, 
 when thy spoil shall be divided in the 
 
 2 midst of thee. For I will gather all 
 nations against Jerusalem to battle; 
 and the city shall be taken, and the 
 houses rifled, and the women ravished : 
 and half of the city shall go forth into 
 captivity, and the residue of the people 
 shall not be cut off from the city. 
 
 3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and 
 fight against those nations, as when 
 
 4 he fought in the day of battle. And his 
 feet shall stand in that day upon the 
 mount of Olives, which is before Jeru- 
 salem on the east, and the mount of 
 Olives shall cleave in the midst there- 
 of toward the east and toward the 
 west, and there shall he a very great 
 valley ; and half of the mountain shall 
 remove toward the north, and half of 
 
 5 it toward the south. And 5 ye shall 
 flee 6 by the valley of 7 my mountains ; 
 for the valley of the mountains shall 
 reach unto Azel: yea, ye shall flee, 
 like as ye fled from before the earth- 
 quake in the days of Uzziah king of 
 Judah: and the Lord my God shall 
 come, and all the holy ones with thee. 
 
 6 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that 8 the light shall not be 9 with 
 
 7 brightness and with gloom: but it 
 shall he one day which is known unto 
 the Lord ; not day, and not night : 
 but it shall come to pass, that at 
 
 8 evening time there shall be light. And 
 it shall come to pass in that day, that 
 living waters shall go out from Jeru- 
 salem; half of them toward the east- 
 ern sea, and half of them toward the 
 western sea : in summer and in winter 
 
 9 shall it be. And the Lord shall be 
 king over all the earth: in that day 
 shall the Lord be one, and his name 
 
 10 one. All the land shall be turned as 
 the Arabah, from Geha to Rimmon 
 south of Jerusalem ; and she shall be 
 lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, 
 from Benjamin’s gate unto the place 
 of the first gate, unto the corner 
 gate, and from the tower of Hananel 
 
 11 unto the king’s winepresses. And men 
 shall dwell therein, and there shall

 warred against Jerusalem : their flesh 
 shall consume away while they stand

 The English Version of the New Testament here presented to the reader 
 is a Revision of the Translation published in the year of Our Lord 1611, and 
 commonly known by the name of the Authorised V ersion. 
 
 That Translation was the work of many hands and of several generations. 
 The foundation was laid by William Tyndale. His translation of the New 
 Testament was the true primary Version. The Versions that followed were 
 either substantially reproductions of Tyndale’s translation in its final shape, 
 or revisions of Versions that had been themselves almost entirely based on it. 
 Three successive stages may be recognised in this continuous work of author- 
 itative revision : first, the publication of the Great Bible of 1539-41 in the 
 reign of Henry VIII; next, the publication of the Bishops’ Bible of 1568 and 
 1572 in the reign of Elizabeth ; and lastly, the publication of the King’s Bible 
 of 1611 in the reign of James I. Besides these, the Genevan Version of 1560, 
 itself founded on Tyndale’s translation, must here be named ; which, though 
 not put forth by authority, was widely circulated in this country, and largely 
 used by King James’ Translators. Thus the form in which the English New 
 Testament has now been read for 270 years was the result of various revisions 
 made between 1525 and 1611 ; and the present Revision is an attempt, after a 
 long interval, to follow the example set by a succession of honoured prede- 
 cessors. 
 
 I. Of the many points of interest connected with the Translation of 1611, 
 two require special notice; first, the Greek Text which it appears to have 
 represented ; and secondly, the character of the Translation itself. 
 
 1. With regard to the Greek Text, it would appear that, if to some extent 
 the Translators exercised an independent judgement, it was mainly in choosing 
 amongst readings contained in the principal editions of the Greek Text that 
 had appeared in the sixteenth century. Wherever they seem to have followed 
 a reading which is not found in any of those editions, their rendering may 
 probably be traced to the Latin Vulgate. Their chief guides appear to have 
 been the later editions of Stephanus and of Beza, and also, to a certain extent, 
 the Complutensian Polyglott. All these were founded for the most part on 
 manuscripts of late date, few in number, and used with little critical skill. 
 But in those days it could hardly have been otherwise. Nearly all the more 
 ancient of the documentary authorities have become known only within the 
 last two centuries ; some of the most important of them, indeed, within the 
 last few years. Their publication has called forth not only improved editions 
 of the Greek Text, but a succession of instructive discussions on the variations 
 which have been brought to light, and on the best modes of distinguishing 
 original readings from changes introduced in the course of transcription. 
 While therefore it has long been the opinion of all scholars that the commonly 
 
VI* PREFACE. 
 
 received text needed thorough revision, it is but recently that materials have 
 been acquired for executing such a work with even approximate completeness. 
 
 2. The character of the Translation itself will be best estimated by con- 
 sidering the leading rules under which it was made, and the extent to which 
 these rules appear to have been observed. 
 
 The primary and fundamental rule was expressed in the following terms : — 
 ‘ The ordinary Bible read in the Church, commonly called the Bishops’ Bible, 
 to be followed, and as little altered as the truth of the Original will permit.’ 
 There was, however, this subsequent provision : — ‘ These translations to be 
 used, when they agree better with the text than the Bishops’ Bible : Tindale’s, 
 Matthew’s, Coverdale’s, Whitchurch’s, Geneva.’ The first of these rules, which 
 was substantially the same as that laid down at the revision of the Great Bible 
 in the reign of Elizabeth, was strictly observed. The other rule was but 
 partially followed. The Translators made much use of the Genevan Version. 
 They do not however appear to have frequently returned to the renderings of 
 the other Versions named in the rule, where those Versions differed from the 
 Bishops’ Bible. On the other hand, their work shews evident traces of the 
 influence of a Version not specified in the rules, the Rhemish, made from the 
 Latin Vulgate, but by scholars conversant with the Greek Original. 
 
 Another rule, on which it is stated that those in authority laid great stress, 
 related to the rendering of words that admitted of different interpretations. 
 It was as follows : — ‘When a word hath divers significations, that to be kept 
 which hath been most commonly used by the most of the ancient fathers, 
 being agreeable to the propriety of the place and the analogy of the faith.’ 
 With this rule was associated the following, on which equal stress appears to 
 have been laid : — ‘The old ecclesiastical words to be kept, viz. the word Church 
 not to be translated Congregation , &c.’ This latter rule was for the most part 
 carefully observed ; but it may be doubted whether, in the case of words that 
 admitted of different meanings, the instructions were at all closely followed. 
 In dealing with the more difficult words of this class, the Translators appear 
 to have paid much regard to traditional interpretations, and especially to the 
 authority of the Vulgate ; but, as to the large residue of words which might 
 properly fall under the rule, they used considerable freedom. Moreover they 
 profess in their Preface to have studiously adopted a variety of expression 
 which would now be deemed hardly consistent with the requirements of 
 faithful translation. They seem to have been guided by the feeling that their 
 Version would secure for the words they used a lasting place in the language ; 
 and they express a fear lest they should ‘be charged (by scoffers) with some 
 unequal dealing towards a great number of good English words,’ which, 
 without this liberty on their part, would not have a place in the pages of the 
 English Bible. Still it cannot be doubted that they carried this liberty too 
 far, and that the studied avoidance of uniformity in the rendering of the same 
 words, even when occurring in the same context, is one of the blemishes in 
 their work. 
 
 A third leading rule was of a negative character, but was rendered necessary 
 by the experience derived from former Versions. The words of the rule are as 
 follows : — -‘No marginal notes at all to be affixed, but only for the explanation 
 of the Hebrew or Greek words which cannot without some circumlocution so 
 briefly and fitly be expressed in the text.’ Here again the Translators used 
 some liberty in their application of the rule. Out of more than 760 marginal 
 notes originally appended to the Authorised Version of the New Testament, 
 only a seventh part consists of explanations or literal renderings ; the great 
 majority of the notes being devoted to the useful and indeed necessary purpose 
 of placing before the reader alternative renderings which it was judged that 
 the passage or the words would fairly admit. The notes referring to variations 
 in the Greek Text amount to about thirty-five. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 Of the remaining rules it may be sufficient to notice one, which was for 
 the most part consistently followed : — ‘The names of the prophets and the 
 holy writers, with the other names of the text, to be retained, as nigh as may 
 be, accordingly as they were vulgarly used.’ The Translators had also the 
 liberty, in ‘any place of special obscurity, 5 to consult those who might be 
 qualified to give an opinion. 
 
 Passing from these fundamental rules, which should be borne in mind by 
 any one who would rightly understand the nature and character of the 
 Authorised Version, we must call attention to the manner in which the actual 
 work of the translation was carried on. The New Testament was assigned to 
 two separate Companies, the one consisting of eight members, sitting at 
 Oxford, the other consisting of seven members, sitting at Westminster. There 
 is no reason to believe that these Companies ever sat together. They com- 
 municated to each other, and likewise to the four Companies to which the Old 
 Testament and the Apocrypha had been committed, the results of their 
 labours ; and perhaps afterwards reconsidered them : but the fact that the 
 New Testament was divided between two separate bodies of men involved a 
 grave inconvenience, and was beyond all doubt the cause of many inconsist- 
 encies. These probably would have been much more serious, had it not been 
 provided that there should be a final supervision of the whole Bible, by 
 selected members from Oxford, Cambridge, and Westminster, the three 
 centres at which the work had been carried on. These supervisors are said 
 by one authority to have been six in number, and by another twelve. 
 When it is remembered that this supervision was completed in nine 
 months, we may wonder that the incongruities which remain are not more 
 numerous. 
 
 The Companies appear to have been occupied in the actual business of 
 revision about two years and three quarters. 
 
 Such, so far as can be gathered from the rules and modes of procedure, is 
 the character of the time-honoured Version which we have been called upon 
 to revise. We have had to study this great Version carefully and minutely, 
 line by line ; and the longer we have been engaged upon it the more we have 
 learned to admire its simplicity, its dignity, its power, its happy turns of 
 expression, its general accuracy, and, we must not fail to add, the music of 
 its cadences, and the felicities of its rhythm. To render a work that had 
 reached this high standard of excellence still more excellent, to increase its 
 fidelity without destroying its charm, was the task committed to us. Of that 
 task, and of the conditions under which we have attempted its fulfilment, it 
 will now be necessary for us to speak. 
 
 II. The present Revision had its origin in action taken by the Convoca- 
 tion of the Province of Canterbury in February 1870, and it has been con- 
 ducted throughout on the plan laid down in Resolutions of both Houses of the 
 Province, and, more particularly, in accordance with Principles and Rules 
 drawn up by a special Committee of Convocation in the following May. Two 
 Companies, the one for the revision of the Authorised Version of the Old 
 Testament, and the other for the revision of the same Version of the New 
 Testament, were formed in the manner specified in the Resolutions, and the 
 work was commenced on the twenty-second day of June 1870. Shortly after- 
 wards, steps were taken, under a resolution passed by both Houses of Con- 
 vocation, for inviting the co-operation of American scholars ; and eventually 
 two Committees were formed in America, for the purpose of acting with 
 the two English Companies, on the basis of the Principles and Rules drawn 
 up by the Committee of Convocation. 
 
 The fundamental Resolutions adopted by the Convocation of Canterbury 
 on the third and fifth days of May 1870 were as follows : — 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 ( 1. That it is desirable that a revision of the Authorised Version of 
 the Holy Scriptures be undertaken. 
 
 4 2. That the revision be so conducted as to comprise both marginal ren- 
 derings and such emendations as it may be found necessary to insert in the 
 text of the Authorised Version. 
 
 4 3. That in the above resolutions we do not contemplate any new trans- 
 lation of the Bible, or any alteration of the language, except where in the 
 judgement of the most competent scholars such change is necessary. 
 
 4 4. That in such necessary changes, the style of the language employed 
 in the existing Version be closely followed. 
 
 4 5. That it is desirable that Convocation should nominate a body of its own 
 members to undertake the work of revision, who shall be at liberty to invite 
 the co-operation of any eminent for scholarship, to whatever nation or religious 
 body they may belong.’ 
 
 The Principles and Rules agreed to by the Committee of Convocation on 
 the twenty-fifth day of May 1870 were as follows : — 
 
 4 1. To introduce as few alterations as possible into the Text of the 
 Authorised Version consistently with faithfulness. 
 
 4 2. To limit, as far as possible, the expression of such alterations to the * 
 language of the Authorised and earlier English Versions. 
 
 4 3. Each Company to go twice over the portion to be revised, once pro- 
 visionally, the second time finally, and on principles of voting as hereinafter 
 is provided. 
 
 4 4. That the Text to be adopted be that for which the evidence is de- 
 cidedly preponderating ; and that when the Text so adopted differs from that 
 from which the Authorised Version was made, the alteration be indicated in 
 the margin. 
 
 4 5. To make or retain no change in the Text on the second final revision 
 by each Company, except two thirds of those present approve of the same, but 
 on the first revision to decide by simple majorities. 
 
 4 6. In every case of proposed alteration that may have given rise to 
 discussion, to defer the voting thereupon till the next Meeting, whensoever 
 the same shall be required by one third of those present at the Meeting, such 
 intended vote to be announced in the notice for the next Meeting. 
 
 4 7. To revise the headings of chapters and pages, paragraphs, italics, and 
 punctuation. 
 
 4 8. To refer, on the part of each Company, when considered desirable, to 
 Divines, Scholars, and Literary Men, whether at home or abroad, for their 
 opinions.’ 
 
 These rules it has been our endeavour faithfully and consistently to follow. 
 One only of them we found ourselves unable to observe in all particulars. In 
 accordance with the seventh rule, we have carefully revised the paragraphs, 
 italics, and punctuation. But the revision of the headings of chapters and 
 pages would have involved so much of indirect, and indeed frequently of 
 direct interpretation, that we judged it best to omit them altogether. 
 
 Our communications with the American Committee have been of the 
 following nature. We transmitted to them from time to time each several 
 portion of our First Revision, and received from them in return their 
 criticisms and suggestions. These we considered with much care and atten- 
 tion during the time we were engaged on our Second Revision. We then sent 
 over to them the various portions of the Second Revision as they were 
 completed, and received further suggestions, which, like the former, were 
 closely and carefully considered. Last of all, we forwarded to them the 
 Revised Version in its final form ; and a list of those passages in which they 
 desire to place on record their preference of other readings and renderings 
 will be found at the end of the volume. We gratefully acknowledge their

 care, vigilance, and accuracy ; and we humbly pray that their labours and our 
 own, thus happily united, may be permitted to bear a blessing to both 
 countries, and to all English-speaking people throughout the world. 
 
 The whole time devoted to the work has been ten years and a half. The 
 First Revision occupied about six years ; the Second, about two years and 
 a half. The remaining time has been spent in the consideration of the 
 suggestions from America on the Second Revision, and of many details and 
 reserved questions arising out of our own labours. As a rule, a session of four 
 days has been held every month (with the exception of August and September) 
 in each year from the commencement of the work in June 1870. The average 
 attendance for the whole time has been sixteen each day ; the whole Company 
 consisting at first of twenty-seven, but for the greater part of the time of 
 twenty-four members, many of them residing at great distances from London. 
 Of the original number four have been removed from us by death. 
 
 At an early stage in our labours, we entered into an agreement with the 
 Universities of Oxford and Cambridge for the conveyance to them of our 
 copyright in the work. This arrangement provided for the necessary expenses 
 of the undertaking ; and procured for the Revised Version the advantage 
 of being published by Bodies long connected with the publication of the 
 Authorised Version. 
 
 III. We now pass onward to give a brief account of the particulars of the 
 present work. This we propose to do under the four heads of Text, Trans- 
 lation, Language, and Marginal Notes. 
 
 1. A revision of the Greek text was the necessary foundation of our 
 work ; but it did not fall within our province to construct a continuous and 
 complete Greek text. In many cases the English rendering was considered 
 to represent correctly either of two competing readings in the Greek, and 
 then the question of the text was usually not raised. A sufficiently laborious 
 task remained in deciding between the rival claims of various readings which 
 might properly affect the translation. When these were adjusted, our devia- 
 tions from the text presumed to underlie the Authorised Version had next to 
 be indicated, in accordance with the fourth rule ; but it proved inconvenient 
 to record them in the margin. A better mode however of giving them 
 publicity has been found, as the University Presses have undertaken to print 
 them in connexion with complete Greek texts of the New Testament. 
 
 In regard of the readings thus approved, it may be observed that the 
 fourth rule, by requiring that 4 the text to be adopted J should be 4 that for 
 which the evidence is decidedly preponderating/ was in effect an instruction 
 to follow the authority of documentary evidence without deference to any 
 printed text of modern times, and therefore to employ the best resources of 
 criticism for estimating the value of evidence. Textual criticism, as applied 
 to the Greek New Testament, forms a special study of much intricacy and 
 difficulty, and even now leaves room for considerable variety of opinion among 
 competent critics. Different schools of criticism have been represented among 
 us, and have together contributed to the final result. In the early part of the 
 work every various reading requiring consideration was discussed and voted 
 on by the Company. After a time the precedents thus established enabled 
 the process to be safely shortened ; but it was still at the option of every one 
 to raise a full discussion on any particular reading, and the option was freely 
 used. On the first revision, in accordance with the fifth rule, the decisions 
 were arrived at by simple majorities. On the second revision, at which a 
 majority of two thirds was required to retain or introduce a reading at 
 variance with the reading presumed to underlie the Authorised Version, many 
 readings previously adopted were brought again into debate, and either re- 
 affirmed or set aside.

 PEEFACE. 
 
 Many places still remain in which, for the present, it would not be safe to 
 accept one reading to the absolute exclusion of others. In these cases we have 
 given alternative readings in the margin, wherever they seem to be of sufficient 
 importance or interest to deserve notice. In the introductory formula, the 
 phrases ‘many ancient authorities/ ‘some ancient authorities/ are used with 
 some latitude to denote a greater or lesser proportion of those authorities 
 which have a distinctive right to be called ancient. These ancient authorities 
 comprise not only Greek manuscripts, some of which were written in the 
 fourth and fifth centuries, but versions of a still earlier date in different lan- 
 guages, and also quotations by Christian writers of the second and following 
 centuries. 
 
 2. We pass now from the Text to the Translation. The character of the 
 Ee vision was determined for us from the outset by the first rule, ‘to introduce 
 as few alterations as possible, consistently with faithfulness. J Our task was 
 revision, not re-translation. 
 
 In the application however of this principle to the many and intricate 
 details of our work, we have found ourselves constrained by faithfulness to 
 introduce changes which might not at first sight appear to be included under 
 the rule. 
 
 The alterations which we have made in the Authorised Version may be 
 roughly grouped in five principal classes. First, alterations positively required 
 by change of reading in the Greek Text. Secondly, alterations made where 
 the Authorised Version appeared either to be incorrect, or to have chosen the 
 less probable of two possible renderings. Thirdly, alterations of obscure or 
 ambiguous renderings into such as are clear and express in their import. 
 For it has been our principle not to leave any translation, or any arrangement 
 of words, which could adapt itself to one or other of two interpretations, but 
 rather to express as plainly as was possible that interpretation which seemed 
 best to deserve a place in the text, and to put the other in the margin. 
 
 There remain yet two other classes of alterations which we have felt to be 
 required by the same principle of faithfulness. These are, — Fourthly, altera- 
 tions of the Authorised Version in cases where it was inconsistent with itself 
 in the rendering of two or more passages confessedly alike or parallel. Fifthly, 
 alterations rendered necessary by consequence , that is, arising out of changes 
 already made, though not in themselves required by the general rule of faith- 
 fulness. Both these classes of alterations call for some further explanation. 
 
 The frequent inconsistencies in the Authorised Version have caused us 
 much embarrassment from the fact already referred to, namely, that a studied 
 variety of rendering, even in the same chapter and context, was a kind of 
 principle with our predecessors, and was defended by them on grounds that 
 have been mentioned above. The problem we had to solve was to discriminate 
 between varieties of rendering which were compatible with fidelity to the true 
 meaning of the text, and varieties which involved inconsistency, and were 
 suggestive of differences that had no existence in the Greek. This problem 
 we have solved to the best of our power, and for the most part in the follow- 
 ing way. 
 
 Where there was a doubt as to the exact shade of meaning, we have looked 
 to the context for guidance. If the meaning was fairly expressed by the word 
 or phrase that was before us in the Authorised Version, we made no change, 
 even where rigid adherence to the rule of translating, as far as possible, the 
 same Greek word by the same English word might have prescribed some 
 modification. 
 
 There are however numerous passages in the Authorised Version in which, 
 whether regard be had to the recurrence (as in the first three Gospels) of 
 identical clauses and sentences, to the repetition of the same word in the 
 same passage, or to the characteristic use of particular words by the same 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 writer, the studied variety adopted by the Translators of 1611 has produced 
 a degree of inconsistency that cannot be reconciled with the principle of faith- 
 fulness. In such cases we have not hesitated to introduce alterations, even 
 though the sense might not seem to the general reader to be materially 
 affected. 
 
 The last class of alterations is that which we have described as rendered 
 necessary by consequence ; that is, by reason of some foregoing alteration. The 
 cases in which these consequential changes have been found necessary are 
 numerous and of very different kinds. Sometimes the change has been made 
 to avoid tautology ; sometimes to obviate an unpleasing alliteration or some 
 other infelicity of sound ; sometimes, in the case of smaller words, to preserve 
 the familiar rhythm ; sometimes for a convergence of reasons which, when 
 explained, would at once be accepted, but until so explained might never be 
 surmised even by intelligent readers. 
 
 This may be made plain by an example. When a particular word is found 
 to recur with characteristic frequency in any one of the Sacred Writers, it is 
 obviously desirable to adopt for it some uniform rendering. Again, where, 
 as in the case of the first three Evangelists, precisely the same clauses or 
 sentences are found in more than one of the Gospels, it is no less necessary 
 to translate them in every place in the same way. These two principles may 
 be illustrated by reference to a word that perpetually recurs in St. Mark’s 
 Gospel, and that may be translated either 4 straightway,’ 4 forthwith,’ or 
 4 immediately.’ Let it be supposed that the first rendering is chosen, and that 
 the word, in accordance with the first of the above principles, is in that 
 Gospel uniformly translated 4 straightway.’ Let it be further supposed that 
 one of the passages of St. Mark in which it is so translated is found, word 
 for word, in one of the other Gospels, but that there the rendering of the 
 Authorised Version happens to be 4 forthwith’ or 4 immediately.’ That ren- 
 dering must be changed on the second of the above principles ; and yet such 
 a change would not have been made but for this concurrence of two sound 
 principles, and the consequent necessity of making a change on grounds 
 extraneous to the passage itself. 
 
 This is but one of many instances of consequential alterations which 
 might at first sight appear unnecessary, but which nevertheless have been 
 deliberately made, and are not at variance with the rule of introducing as few 
 changes in the Authorised Version as faithfulness would allow. 
 
 There are some other points of detail which it may be here convenient to 
 notice. One of these, and perhaps the most important, is the rendering of the 
 Greek aorist. There are numerous cases, especially in connexion with par- 
 ticles ordinarily expressive of present time, in which the use of the indefinite 
 past tense in Greek and English is altogether different ; and in such instances 
 we have not attempted to violate the idiom of our language by forms of 
 expression which it could not bear. But we have often ventured to represent 
 the Greek aorist by the English preterite, even where the reader may find 
 some passing difficulty in such a rendering, because we have felt convinced 
 that the true meaning of the original was obscured by the presence of the 
 familiar auxiliary. A remarkable illustration may be found in the seventeenth 
 chapter of St. John’s Gospel, where the combination of the aorist and the 
 perfect shews, beyond all reasonable doubt, that different relations of time 
 were intended to be expressed. 
 
 Changes of translation will also be found in connexion with the aorist 
 participle, arising from the fact that the usual periphrasis of this participle in 
 the Vulgate, which was rendered necessary by Latin idiom, has been largely 
 reproduced in the Authorised Version by 4 when’ with the past tense (as for 
 example in the second chapter of St. Matthew’s Gospel), even where the ordin- 
 ary participial rendering would have been easier and more natural in English. 
 
PREFACE.

 In reference to the perfect and the imperfect tenses but little needs to be 
 said. The correct translation of the former has been for the most part, 
 though with some striking exceptions, maintained in the Authorised Version: 
 while with regard to the imperfect, clear as its meaning may be in the Greek, 
 the power of expressing it is so limited in English, that we have been fre- 
 quently compelled to leave the force of the tense to be inferred from the con- 
 text. In a few instances, where faithfulness imperatively required it, and 
 especially where, in the Greek, the significance of the imperfect tense seemed 
 to be additionally marked by the use of the participle with the auxiliary verb, 
 we have introduced the corresponding form in English. Still, in the great 
 majority of cases we have been obliged to retain the English preterite, and to 
 rely either on slight changes in the order of the words, or on prominence 
 given to the accompanying temporal particles, for the indication of the mean- 
 ing which, in the Greek, the imperfect tense was designed to convey. 
 
 On other points of grammar it may be sufficient to speak more briefly. 
 
 Many changes, as might be anticipated, have been made in the case of the 
 definite article. Here again it was necessary to consider the peculiarities of 
 English idiom, as well as the general tenor of each passage. Sometimes we 
 have felt it enough to prefix the article to the first of a series of words to all 
 of which it is prefixed in the Greek, and thus, as it were, to impart the idea of 
 definiteness to the whole series, without running the risk of overloading the 
 sentence. Sometimes, conversely, we have had to tolerate the presence of the 
 definite article in our Version, when it is absent from the Greek, and perhaps 
 not even grammatically latent; simply because English idiom would not 
 allow the noun to stand alone, and because the introduction of the indefinite 
 article might have introduced an idea of oneness or individuality, which was 
 not in any degree traceable in the original. In a word, we have been careful 
 to observe the use of the article wherever it seemed to be idiomatically 
 possible : where it did not seem to be possible, we have yielded to necessity. 
 
 As to the pronouns and the place they occupy in the sentence, a subject 
 often overlooked by our predecessors, we have been particularly careful ; but 
 here again we have frequently been baffled by structural or idiomatical peculi- 
 arities of the English language which precluded changes otherwise desirable. 
 
 In the case of the particles we have met with less difficulty, and have 
 been able to maintain a reasonable amount of consistency. The particles in 
 the Greek Testament are, as is well known, comparatively few, and they are 
 commonly used with precision. It has therefore been the more necessary here 
 to preserve a general uniformity of rendering, especially in the case of the 
 particles of causality and inference, so far as English idiom would allow. 
 
 Lastly, many changes have been introduced in the rendering of the prepo- 
 sitions, especially where ideas of instrumentality or of mediate agency, dis^ 
 tinctly marked in the original, had been confused or obscured in the transla- 
 tion. We have however borne in mind the comprehensive character of such 
 prepositions as ‘of’ and ‘by,’ the one in reference to agency and the other in 
 reference to means, especially in the English of the seventeenth century ; and 
 have rarely made any change where the true meaning of the original as ex- 
 pressed in the Authorised Version would be apparent to a reader of ordinary 
 intelligence. 
 
 3. We now come to the subject of Language. 
 
 The second of the rules, by which the work has been governed, prescribed 
 that the alterations to be introduced should be expressed, as far as possible, in 
 the language of the Authorised Version or of the Versions that preceded it. 
 
 To this rule we have faithfully adhered. We have habitually consulted 
 the earlier Versions ; and in our sparing introduction of words not found in 
 them or in the Authorised Version we have usually satisfied ourselves that 
 such words were employed by standard writers of nearly the same date, and

 had also that general hue which justified their introduction into a Version 
 which has held the highest place in the classical literature of our language. 
 We have never removed any archaisms, whether in structure or in words, 
 except where we were persuaded either that the meaning of the words was 
 not generally understood, or that the nature of the expression led to some 
 misconception of the true sense of the passage. The frequent inversions of 
 the strict order of the words, which add much to the strength and variety 
 of the Authorised Version, and give an archaic colour to many felicities of 
 diction, have been seldom modified. Indeed, we have often adopted the same 
 arrangement in our own alterations ; and in this, as in other particulars, we 
 have sought to assimilate the new work to the old. 
 
 In a few exceptional cases we have failed to find any word in the older 
 stratum of our language that appeared to convey the precise meaning of the 
 original. There, and there only, we have used words of a later date ; but not 
 without having first assured ourselves that they are to be found in the 
 writings of the best authors of the period to which they belong. 
 
 In regard of Proper Names no rule was prescribed to us. In the case 
 of names of frequent occurrence we have deemed it best to follow generally 
 the rule laid down for our predecessors. That rule, it may be remembered, 
 was to this effect, 4 The names of the prophets and the holy writers, with the 
 other names of the text, to be retained, as nigh as may be, accordingly as 
 they were vulgarly used.’ Some difficulty has been felt in dealing with names 
 less familiarly known. Here our general practice has been to follow the 
 Greek form of names, except in the case of persons and places mentioned in 
 the Old Testament : in this case we have followed the Hebrew. 
 
 4. The subject of the Marginal Notes deserves special attention. They 
 represent the results of a large amount of careful and elaborate discussion, 
 and will, perhaps, by their very presence, indicate to some extent the intricacy 
 of many of the questions that have almost daily come before us for decision. 
 These Notes fall into four main groups : first, notes specifying such differences 
 of reading as were judged to be of sufficient importance to require a particular 
 notice ; secondly, notes indicating the exact rendering of words to which, for 
 the sake of English idiom, we were obliged to give a less exact rendering in 
 the text ; thirdly, notes, very few in number, affording some explanation 
 which the original appeared to require ; fourthly, alternative renderings in 
 difficult or debateable passages. The notes of this last group are numerous, 
 and largely in excess of those which were admitted by our predecessors. In 
 the 270 years that have passed away since their labours were concluded, the 
 Sacred Text has been minutely examined, discussed in every detail, and 
 analysed with a grammatical precision unknown in the days of the last 
 Revision. There has thus been accumulated a large amount of materials that 
 have prepared the way for different renderings, which necessarily came under 
 discussion. We have therefore placed before the reader in the margin other 
 renderings than those which were adopted in the text, wherever such render- 
 ings seemed to deserve consideration. The rendering in the text, where it 
 agrees with the Authorised Version, was supported by at least one third, and, 
 where it differs from the Authorised Version, by at least two thirds of those 
 who were present at the second revision of the passage in question. 
 
 A few supplementary matters have yet to be mentioned. These may be 
 thus enumerated, — the use of Italics, the arrangement in Paragraphs, the 
 mode of printing Quotations from the Poetical Books of the Old Testament, 
 the Punctuation, and, last of all, the Titles of the different Books that make 
 up the New Testament, — all of them particulars on which it seems desirable 
 to add a few explanatory remarks. 
 
 (a) The determination, in each place, of the words to be printed in italics

 has not been by any means easy ; nor can we hope to be found in all cases 
 X^erfectly consistent. In the earliest editions of the Authorised Version the 
 use of a different type to indicate supplementary words not contained in the 
 original was not very frequent, and cannot easily be reconciled with any 
 settled principle. A review of the words so printed was made, after a lapse 
 of some years, for the editions of the Authorised Version published at Cam- 
 bridge in 1629 and 1638. Further, though slight, modifications were intro- 
 duced at intervals between 1638 and the more systematic revisions undertaken 
 respectively by Dr. Paris in the Cambridge Edition of 1762, and by Dr. Blayney 
 in the Oxford Edition of 1769. None of them however rest on any higher 
 authority than that of the persons who from time to time superintended the 
 publication. The last attempt to bring the use of italics into uniformity and 
 consistency was made by Dr. Scrivener in the Paragraph Bible published at 
 Cambridge in 1870-73. In succeeding to these labours, we have acted on the 
 general principle of printing in italics words which did not appear to be neces- 
 sarily involved in the Greek. Our tendency has been to diminish rather than 
 to increase the amount of italic printing ; though, in the case of difference of 
 readings, we have usually marked the absence of any words in the original 
 which the sense might nevertheless require to be present in the Version; and 
 again, in the case of inserted pronouns, where the reference did not appear to 
 be perfectly certain, we have similarly had recourse to italics. Some of these 
 cases, especially when there are slight differences of reading, are of singular 
 intricacy, and make it impossible to maintain rigid uniformity. 
 
 ( b ) We have arranged the Sacred Text in paragraphs, after the precedent 
 of the earliest English Versions, so as to assist the general reader in following 
 the current of narrative or argument. The present arrangement will be 
 found, we trust, to have preserved the due mean between a system of long por- 
 tions which must often include several separate topics, and a system of frequent 
 breaks which, though they may correctly indicate the separate movements of 
 thought in the writer, often seriously impede a just perception of the true 
 continuity of the passage. The traditional division into chapters, which the 
 Authorised Version inherited from Latin Bibles of the later middle ages, is 
 an illustration of the former method. These paragraphs, for such in fact they 
 are, frequently include several distinct subjects. Moreover they sometimes, 
 though rarely, end where there is no sufficient break in the sense. The divi- 
 sion of chapters into verses, which was introduced into the New Testament 
 for the first time in 1551, is an exaggeration of the latter method, with its 
 accompanying inconveniences. The serious obstacles to the right understand- 
 ing of Holy Scripture, which are interposed by minute subdivision, are often 
 overlooked; but if any one will consider for a moment the injurious effect 
 that would be produced by breaking up a portion of some great standard work 
 into separate verses, he will at once perceive how necessary has been an alter- 
 ation in this particular. The arrangement by chapters and verses undoubted- 
 ly affords facilities for reference : but this advantage we have been able to 
 retain by placing the numerals on the inside margin of each page. 
 
 (c) A few words will suffice as to the mode of printing quotations from 
 the Poetical Books of the Old Testament. Wherever the quotation extends 
 to two or more lines, our practice has been to recognise the parallelism of 
 their structure by arranging the lines in a manner that appears to agree with 
 the metrical divisions of the Hebrew original. Such an arrangement will be 
 found helpful to the reader ; not only as directing his attention to the poetical 
 character of the quotation, but as also tending to make its force and pertinence 
 more fully felt. We have treated in the same way the hymns in the first two 
 chapters of the Gospel according to St. Luke. 
 
 \d) Great care has been bestowed on the punctuation. Our practice has 
 been to maintain what is sometimes called the heavier system of stopping, or, 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 xv 
 
 in other words, that system which, especially for convenience in reading aloud, 
 suggests such pauses as will best ensure a clear and intelligent setting forth of 
 the true meaning of the words. This course has rendered necessary, especially 
 in the Epistles, a larger use of colons and semicolons than is customary in 
 modern English printing. 
 
 (e) We may in the last place notice one particular to which we were not 
 expressly directed to extend our revision, namely, the titles of the Books of 
 the New Testament. These titles are no part of the original text ; and the 
 titles found in the most ancient manuscripts are of too short a form to be 
 convenient for use. Under these circumstances, we have deemed it best to 
 leave unchanged the titles which are given in the Authorised Version as 
 printed in 1611. 
 
 We now conclude, humbly commending our labours to Almighty God, and 
 praying that his favour and blessing may be vouchsafed to that which has 
 been done in his name. We recognised from the first the responsibility of 
 the undertaking ; and through our manifold experience of its abounding diffi- 
 culties we have felt more and more, as we went onward, that such a work can 
 never be accomplished by organised efforts of scholarship and criticism, unless 
 assisted by Divine help. 
 
 We know full well that defects must have their place in a work so long 
 and so arduous as this which has now come to an end. Blemishes and imper- 
 fections there are in the noble Translation which we have been called upon to 
 revise ; blemishes and imperfections will assuredly be found in our own Revision. 
 All endeavours to translate the Holy Scriptures into another tongue must fall 
 short of their aim, when the obligation is imposed of producing a Version that 
 shall be alike literal and idiomatic, faithful to each thought of the original, 
 and yet, in the expression of it, harmonious and free. While we dare to hope 
 that in places not a few of the New Testament the introduction of slight 
 changes has cast a new light upon much that was difficult and obscure, we 
 cannot forget how often we have failed in expressing some finer shade of 
 meaning which we recognised in the original, how often idiom has stood in 
 the way of a perfect rendering, and how often the attempt to preserve a 
 familiar form of words, or even a familiar cadence, has only added another 
 perplexity to those which already beset us. 
 
 Thus, in the review of the work which we have been permitted to com- 
 plete, our closing words must be words of mingled thanksgiving, humility, and 
 prayer. Of thanksgiving, for the many blessings vouchsafed to us throughout 
 the unbroken progress of our corporate labours ; of humility, for our failings 
 and imperfections in the fulfilment of our task ; and of prayer to Almighty 
 God, that the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ may be more 
 clearly and more freshly shewn forth to all who shall be readers of this Book.

 Spirit : 
 and so 
 through- 
 out this 
 book. 
 
 ! 1 1 The book of the 2 generation of 
 Jesus Christ, the son of David, the 
 son of Abraham. 
 
 2 Abraham begat Isaac ; and Isaac be- 
 gat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and 
 3 his brethren; and Judah begat Perez 
 and Zerah of Tamar ; and Perez begat 
 4Hezron; and Hezron begat 3 Earn ; and 
 3 Earn begat Amminadab; and Ammi- 
 nadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon 
 5 begat Salmon ; and Salmon begat Boaz 
 of Eahab; and Boaz begat Obed of 
 I 6Euth; and Obed begat Jesse; and 
 Jesse begat David the king. 
 
 And David begat Solomon of her that 
 | 7 had been the wife of Uriah ; and Solo- 
 mon begat Eehoboam ; and Eelioboam 
 begat Abijah ; and Abijah begat 4 Asa ; 
 
 8 and 4 Asa begat Jehoshaphat ; and Je- 
 hosliaphat begat Jorarn ; and Jorambe- 
 
 9 gat Uzziah ; and Uzziali begat Jotham ; 
 and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Aliaz 
 
 10 begat Hezekiali; and Hezekiali begat 
 Manasseh; and Manasseli begat 5 A- 
 
 llmon; and 5 Amon begat Josiali; and 
 Josiah begat Jechoniah and his bre- 
 thren, at the time of the 6 carrying 
 away to Babylon. 
 
 12 And after the 6 carrying away to Ba- 
 bylon, Jechoniah begat 7 Shealtiel; and 
 
 13 7 Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel ; and Ze- 
 rubbabel begat Abiud ; and Abiud begat 
 
 14Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor ; and 
 Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat 
 
 15Acliim; and Achim begat Eliud; and 
 Eliud begat Eleazar ; and Eleazar be- 
 gat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 
 
 16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband 
 of Marv ; of whom was born Jesus, who 
 is called Christ. 
 
 17 So all the generations from Abraham 
 unto David are fourteen generations ; 
 and from David unto the Carrying away 
 to Babylon fourteen generations ; and 
 from the 6 carrying away to Babylon 
 unto the Christ fourteen generations. 
 
 18 Now the 8 birth 9 of Jesus Christ was 
 on this wise : When his mother Mary 
 had been betrothed to Joseph, before 
 they came together she was found with 
 
 19 child of the 10 Holy Ghost. And Joseph 
 her husband, being a righteous man, 
 and not willing to make her a public 
 example, was minded to put her away 
 
 20 privily. But when he thought on these 
 things, behold, an angel of the Lord ap- 
 peared unto him in a dream, saying, 
 Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to 
 take unto thee Mary thy wife : for that 
 
 which is 11 conceived in her is of the 
 
 21 Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth 
 a son; and thou slialt call his name 
 Jesus; for it is he that shall save his 
 
 22 people from their sins. Now all this is 
 come to pass, that it might be fulfilled 
 which was spoken by the Lord through 
 the prophet, saying, 
 
 23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, 
 
 and shall bring forth a son, 
 
 And they shall call his name 12 Im- 
 manuel ; 
 
 which is, being interpreted, God with 
 
 24 us. And Joseph arose from his sleep, 
 and did as the angel of the Lord com- 
 manded him, and took unto him his 
 
 25 wife; and knew her not till she had 
 brought forth a son ; and he called his 
 name Jesus. 
 
 2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethle- 
 hem of Judaea in the days of Herod the 
 king, behold, 13 wise men from the east 
 
 2 came to Jerusalem, saying, 14 Where is 
 he that is born King of the Jews? for 
 we saw his star in the east, and are 
 
 3 come to worship him. And when Herod 
 the king heard it, he was troubled, and 
 
 4 all J erusalem with him . And gathering 
 together all the chief priests and scribes 
 of the people, he inquired of them where 
 
 5 the Christ should be born. And theysaid 
 unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea : for 
 thus it is written 15 by the prophet, 
 
 6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Judali, 
 Art in no wise least among the 
 
 princes of Judah : 
 
 For out of thee shall come forth a 
 governor, 
 
 Which shall be shepherd of my peo- 
 ple Israel. 
 
 7 Then Herod privily called the 13 wise 
 men, and learned of them carefully 
 
 8 16 what time the star appeared. And he 
 sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go 
 and search out carefully concerning the 
 young child ; and when ye have found 
 him , bring me word, that I also may 
 
 9 come and worship him . And they, hav- 
 ing heard the king, went their way; 
 and lo, the star, which they saw in the 
 east, went before them, till it came and 
 stood over where the young child was. 
 
 10 And when they saw the star, they re- 
 
 11 joiced with exceeding great joy. A: id 
 they came into the house and saw the 
 young child with Mary his mother; 
 and they fell down and worshipped 
 him ; and opening their treasures 
 they offered unto him gifts, gold and

 shalt by no means come out thence, till 
 thou have paid the last farthing. 
 
 27 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou 
 
 28 shalt not commit adultery : but I say 
 unto you, that every one that looketh on 
 a woman to lust after her hath com- 
 mitted adultery with her already in his 
 
 •29 heart. And if thy right eye causetli thee 
 to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from 
 thee : for it is profitable for thee that one 
 of thy members should perish, and not 
 
 30 thy whole body be cast into 1 hell. And 
 if thy right hand causeth thee to stum- 
 ble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for 
 it is profitable for thee that one of thy 
 members should perish, and not thy 
 
 31 whole body go into 1 hell. It was said 
 also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, 
 let him give her a writing of divorce- 
 
 32 ment : but I say unto you, that every 
 one that putteth away his wife, saving 
 for the cause of fornication, maketh her 
 an adulteress: and whosoever shall 
 marry her when she is put away com- 
 mitteth adultery. 
 
 33 Again, ye have heard that it was said 
 to them of old time, Thou shalt not for- 
 swear thyself, but shalt perform unto 
 
 34 the Lord thine oaths : but I say unto 
 you, Swear not at all ; neither by the 
 
 35 heaven, for it is the throne of God ; nor 
 by the earth, for it is the footstool of his 
 feet ; nor 2 by Jerusalem, for it is the city 
 
 36 of the great King. Neither shalt thou 
 swear by thy head, for thou canst not 
 
 37 make one hair white or black. 3 But let 
 your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and 
 whatsoever is more than these is of 4 the 
 evil one. 
 
 38 Ye have heard that it was said, An eye 
 
 39 for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth : but I 
 say unto you, Besist not 5 him that is 
 evil : but whosoever smiteth thee on thy 
 right cheek, turn to him the other also. 
 
 40 And if any man would go to law with 
 thee, and take away thy coat, let him 
 
 41 have thy cloke also. And whosoever 
 shall 6 compel thee to go one mile, 
 
 42 go with him twain. Give to him that 
 asketh thee, and from him that 
 would boiTow of thee turn not thou 
 away. 
 
 43 Ye have heard that it was said, 
 Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and 
 
 44 hate thine enemy: but I say unto you, 
 Love your enemies, and pray for 
 
 45 them that persecute you; that ye 
 may be sons of your Father which 
 is in heaven: for he maketh his sun 
 to rise on the evil and the good, and 
 sendeth rain on the just and the un- 
 
 46just f For if ye love them that love 
 you, what reward have ye? do not 
 
 47 even the 7 publicans the same? And if 
 ye salute your brethren only, what do 
 ye more than others ? do not even the 
 
 48 Gentiles the same? Ye therefore shall 
 be perfect* as your heavenly Father is 
 perfect* 
 
 6 Take heed that ye do not your right- 
 eousness before men, to be seen of 
 them : else ye have no reward with your 
 Father which is in heaven. 
 
 2 When therefore thou doest alms, 
 sound not a trumpet before thee, as the 
 hypocrites do in the synagogues and in 
 the streets, that they may have glory of 
 men. Verily I say unto you, They have 
 
 3 received their reward. But when thou 
 doest alms, let not thy left hand know 
 
 4 what thy right hand doeth : that thine 
 alms may be in secret : and thy Father 
 which seeth in secret shall recompense 
 thee. 
 
 5 And when ye pray, ye shall not be as 
 the hypocrites : for they love to stand 
 and pray in the synagogues and in the 
 comers of the streets, that they may be 
 seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They 
 
 6 have received their reward. But thou, 
 when thou prayest, enter into thine 
 inner chamber, and having shut thy 
 door, pray to thy Father which is in 
 secret, and thy Father which seeth in 
 
 7 secret shall recompense thee. And in 
 praying use not vain repetitions, as the 
 Gentiles do : for they think that they 
 shall be heard for their much speaking. 
 
 8 Be not therefore like unto them : for 
 8 your Father knoweth what things ye 
 
 9 have need of, before ye ask him. After 
 this manner therefore pray ye: Our 
 Father which art in heaven, Hallowed 
 
 10 be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy 
 will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. 
 
 *2 Give us this day 9 our daily bread. And 
 
 " forgive us our debts, as we also have for- 
 
 13 given our debtors. And bring us not 
 into temptation, but deliver us from 
 
 14 10 the evil one. 11 For if ye forgive men 
 their trespasses, your heavenly Father 
 
 15 will also forgive you. But if ye forgive 
 not men their trespasses, neither will 
 your Father forgive your trespasses. 
 
 16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the 
 hypocrites, of a sad countenance : for 
 they disfigure their faces, that they may 
 be seen of men to fast. Verily I say 
 unto you, They have received their re- 
 
 17 ward. But thou, when thou fastest, a- 
 
 18 noint thy head, and wash thy face ; that 
 thou be not seen of men to fast, but of 
 thy Father which is in secret : and thy 
 Father, which seeth in secret, shall 
 recompense thee. 
 
 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures up- 
 on the earth, where moth and rust doth 
 consume, and where thieves 12 break 
 
 20 through and steal : but lay up for your- 
 selves treasures in heaven, where nei- 
 ther moth nor rust doth consume, and 
 where thieves do not 12 break through 
 
 21 nor steal: for where thy treasure is, 
 
 22 there will thy heart be also. The lamp of 
 the body is the eye : if therefore thine 
 eye be single, thy whole body shall be 
 
 23 full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy 
 whole body shall be full of darkness. If

 S. MATTHEW. 
 
 1 Or, age 
 
 therefore the light that is in thee be 
 darkness, how great is the darkness! 
 
 ‘24 No man can serve two masters: for 
 either he will hate the one, and love the 
 other ; or else he will hold to one, and 
 
 • despise the other. Ye cannot serve God 
 
 25 and mammon. Therefore I say unto 
 you, Be not anxious for your life, what 
 ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor 
 yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 
 Is not the life more than the food, and 
 
 26 the body than the raiment ? Behold the 
 birds of the heaven, that they sow not, 
 neither do they reap, nor gather into 
 barns ; and your heavenly Father feed- 
 etli them. Are not ye of much more 
 
 27 value than they? And which of you 
 by being anxious can add one cubit 
 
 28 unto his 1 stature? And why are ye 
 anxious concerning raiment ? Consider 
 the lilies of the field, how they grow ; 
 they toil not, neither do they spin: 
 
 29 yet I say unto you, that even Solo- 
 mon in all his glory was not arrayed 
 
 30 like one of these. But if God doth 
 so clothe the grass of the field, which 
 to-day is, and to-morrow is cast in- 
 to the oven, shall he not much more 
 
 31 clothe you, 0 ye of little faith? Be 
 not therefore anxious, saying, What 
 shall we eat? or, What shall we 
 drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be 
 
 32 clothed? For after all these things 
 do the Gentiles seek; for your hea- 
 venly Father knoweth that ye have 
 
 33 need of all these things. But seek 
 ye first his kingdom, and his right- 
 eousness ; and all these things shall 
 
 34 be added unto you. Be not there- 
 fore anxious for the morrow : for the 
 morrow will be anxious for itself. 
 Sufficient unto the day is the evil 
 thereof. 
 
 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 
 
 2 For Avith what judgement ye judge, 
 ye shall be judged: and with what 
 measure ye mete, it shall be measured 
 
 3 unto you. And why beholdest thou the 
 mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but 
 considerest not the beam that is in 
 
 4 thine own eye? Or how wilt thou 
 say to thy brother, Let me cast out 
 the mote out of thine eye; and lo, 
 
 5 the beam is in thine own eye ? Thou 
 hypocrite, cast out first the beam out 
 of thine own eye ; and then shalt thou 
 see clearly to cast out the mote out of 
 thy brother’s eye. 
 
 6 Give not that which is holy unto 
 the dogs, neither cast your pearls 
 before the swine, lest haply they 
 trample them under their feet, and 
 turn and rend you. 
 
 7 Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, 
 and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be 
 
 8 opened unto you : for every one that 
 asketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh 
 findeth ; and to him that knocketh it 
 
 9 shall be opened. Or what man is there 
 
 of you, who, if his son shall ask him 
 for a loaf, will give him a stone ; 
 
 10 or if he shall ask for a fish, will 
 
 11 give him a serpent? If ye then, 
 being evil, know how to give good 
 gifts unto your children, how much 
 more shall your Father which is in 
 heaven give good things to them that 
 
 12 ask him ? All things therefore what- 
 soever ye would that men should do unto 
 you, even so do ye also unto them : for 
 this is the law and the prophets. 
 
 13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate : for 
 wide 2 is the gate, and broad is the way, 
 that leadeth to destruction, and many be 
 
 14 they that enter in thereby. 3 For narrow 
 is the gate, and straitened the way, that 
 leadeth unto life, and few be they that 
 find it. 
 
 15 Beware of false prophets, which come 
 to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly 
 
 16 are ravening wolves . By their fruits ye 
 shall know them. Do men gather grapes 
 
 17 of thorns, or figs of thistles ? Even so 
 every good tree bringeth forth good 
 fruit ; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth 
 
 18 evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth 
 evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree 
 
 19 bring forth good fruit. Every tree that 
 bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn 
 
 20 down, and cast into the fire. Therefore 
 
 21 by then’ fruits ye shall know them. Not 
 every one that saith unto me, Lord, 
 Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of 
 heaven ; but he that doeth the will of my 
 
 22 Father which is in heaven. Many will 
 say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did 
 we not prophesy by thy name, and by 
 thy name cast out 4 devils, and by thy 
 
 23 name do many 5 mighty works ? And 
 then will I profess unto them, I never 
 knew you: depart from me, ye that work 
 
 24 ini^uity^,- Every one therefore which 
 heareth these words of mine, and doeth 
 them, shall be likened unto a wise man, 
 
 25 which built his house upon the rock : and 
 the rain descended, and the floods came, 
 and the winds blew, and beat upon that 
 house ; and it fell not : for it was founded 
 
 26 upon the rock j And every one that hear- 
 eth these words of mine, and doeth them 
 not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, 
 which built his house upon the sand : 
 
 27 and the rain descended, and the floods 
 came, and the winds blew, and smote 
 upon that house ; and it fell : and great 
 
 - — was-fihe fall thereof. 
 
 28 And it cameto pass, when Jesus ended 
 these words, the multitudes were as- 
 
 29 tonished at his teaching : for he taught 
 them as one having authority, and not 
 as their scribes. 
 
 B And when he was come down from the 
 mountain, great multitudes followed 
 
 2 him. And behold, there came to hhn 
 a leper and worshipped him, saying, 
 Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make

 governors and kings shall ye be brought 
 for my sake, for a testimony to them 
 
 19 and to the Gentiles. But when they 
 deliver you up, be not anxious how 
 or what ye shall speak: for it shall 
 be given you in that hour what ye 
 
 20 shall speak. For it is not ye that 
 speak, but the Spirit of your Father 
 
 21 that speaketh in you. And brother 
 shall deliver up brother to death, and 
 the father his child : and children 
 shall rise up against parents, and 
 
 22 4 cause them to be put to death. And 
 ye shall be hated of all men for my 
 name’s sake: but he that endureth 
 to the end, the same shall be saved. 
 
 23 But when they persecute you in this 
 city, flee into the next: for verily 
 I say unto you, Ye shall not have 
 gone through the cities of Israel, till 
 the Son of man be come. 
 
 24 A disciple is not above his 2 master, 
 
 25 nor a 3 servant above his lord. It 
 is enough for the disciple that he be 
 as his 2 master, and the 3 servant as 
 his lord. If they have called the 
 master of the house 4 Beelzebub, how 
 much more shall they call them of 
 
 26 his household ! Fear them not there- 
 fore: for there is nothing covered, 
 that shall not be revealed; and hid, 
 
 27 that shall not be known. What I tell 
 you in the darkness, speak ye in the 
 light: and what ye hear in the ear, 
 
 28 proclaim upon the housetops. And 
 be not afraid of them which kill the 
 body, but are not able to kill, the 
 soul: but rather fear him which is 
 able to destroy both soul and body 
 
 29 in 5 hell. Are not two sparrows sold 
 for a farthing? and not one of them 
 shall fall on the ground without your 
 
 30 Father: but the very hairs of your 
 
 31 head are all numbered. Fear not there- 
 fore ; ye are of more value than many 
 
 32 sparrows. Every one therefore who 
 shall confess 6 me before men, 7 him will 
 I also confess before my Father which 
 
 33 is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny 
 me before men, him will I also deny be- 
 fore my Father which is in heaven. 
 
 34 Think not that I came to 8 send peace 
 on the earth : I came not to 8 send 
 
 35 peace, but a sword. For I came to 
 set a man at variance against his 
 father, and the daughter against her 
 mother, and the daughter in law a- 
 
 36 gainst her mother in law : and a man’s 
 foes shall he they of his own house - 
 
 37 hold. 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. 
 
 38 And he that doth not take his cross 
 and follow after me , is no t worthy of me . 
 
 39 He that 9 findeth his 10 life shall lose it ; 
 and he that n loseth his 10 life for my 
 sake shall find it. 
 
 40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, 
 
 and he that receiveth me receiveth him 
 
 41 that sent me. He that receiveth a pro- 
 phet in the name of a prophet shall re- 
 ceive a prophet’s reward ; and he that 
 receiveth a righteous man in the name 
 of a righteous man shall receive a right- 
 
 42 eous man’s reward. And whosoever shall 
 give to drink unto one of these little ones 
 a cup of cold water only, in the name 
 of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he 
 shall in no wise lose his reward. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, when Jesus had 
 made an end of commanding his twelve 
 disciples, he departed thence to teach 
 and preach in their cities. 
 
 2 Now when John heard in the prison 
 the works of the Christ, he sent by his 
 
 3 disciples, and said unto him, Art thou 
 he that cometh, or look we for another ? 
 
 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 
 Go your way and tell John the things 
 
 5 which ye do hear and see : the blind re- 
 ceive their sight, and the lame walk, the 
 lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, 
 and the dead are raised up, and the poor 
 have 12 good tidings preached to them. 
 
 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find 
 
 7 none occasion of stumbling in me. And 
 as these went their way, Jesus began 
 to say unto the multitudes concerning 
 John, What went ye out into the wil- 
 derness to behold ? a reed shaken with 
 
 8 the wind ? But what went ye out for to 
 see? a man clothed in soft raiment 1 Be- 
 hold, they that wear soft raiment are in 
 
 9 kings’ houses. 13 But wherefore went 
 ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say 
 unto you, and much more than a pro- 
 
 10 phet. This is he, of whom it is written, 
 
 Behold, I send my messenger before 
 thy face, 
 
 Who shall prepare thy way before 
 thee. 
 
 11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that 
 are born of women there hath not arisen 
 a greater than John the Baptist : yet he 
 that is 14 but little in the kingdom of hea- 
 
 12 ven is greater than he. And from the 
 days of John the Baptist until now the 
 kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, 
 and men of violence take it by force. 
 
 13 For all the prophets and the law pro- 
 
 14 phesied until John. And if ye are will- 
 ing to receive 15 it, this is Elijah, which 
 
 15 is to come. He that hath ears 16 to hear, 
 
 16 let him hear. But whereunto shall I 
 liken this generation ? It is like unto 
 children sitting in the marketplaces, 
 
 17 which call mito their fellows, and say, 
 W e piped unto you , and ye did not dance ; 
 
 18 we wailed, and ye did not 17 mourn. For 
 John came neither eating nor drinking, 
 
 19 and they say, He hath a 18 devil. The 
 Son of man came eating and drinking, 
 and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man, 
 and a winebibber, a friend of publicans 
 and sinners ! And wisdom 19 is justified 
 by her 20 works.

 that it shall be more tolerable for the

 knowing their thoughts he said unto

 casions come; but woe to that man 
 through whom the occasion cometh! 
 
 8 And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee 
 to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from 
 thee : it is good for thee to enter into life 
 maimed or halt, rather than haying two 
 hands or two feet to be cast into the 
 
 9 eternal fire. And if thine eye causeth 
 thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it 
 from thee : it is good for thee to enter 
 into life with one eye, rather than hav- 
 ing two eyes to be cast into the 1 hell of 
 
 10 fire. See that ye despise not one of these 
 little ones ; for I say unto you, that in 
 heaven their angels do always behold 
 the face of my Father which is in hea- 
 
 12 ven. 2 How think ye ? if any man have a 
 hundred sheep, and one of them be gone 
 astray, doth he not leave the ninety and 
 nine, and go unto the mountains, and 
 
 13 seek that which goeth astray? And 
 if so be that he find it, verily I say 
 unto you, he rejoiceth over it more 
 than over the ninety and nine which 
 
 14 have not gone astray. Even so it 
 is not 3 the will of 4 your Father which 
 is in heaven, that one of these little 
 ones should perish. 
 
 15 And if thy brother sin 5 against thee, 
 go, shew him his fault between thee and 
 him alone : if he hear thee, thou hast 
 
 16 gained thy brother. But if he hear thee 
 not, take with thee one or two more, that 
 at the mouth of two witnesses or three 
 
 17 every word may be established. And 
 if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto 
 the 6 church: and if he refuse to 
 hear the 6 church also, let him be unto 
 thee as the Gentile and the publican. 
 
 18 Verily I say unto you, What things 
 soever ye shall bind on earth shall 
 be bound in heaven : and what things 
 soever ye shall loose on earth shall 
 
 19 be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto 
 you, that if two of you shall agree on 
 earth as touching anything that they 
 shall ask, it shall be done for them of my 
 
 20 Father which is in heaven. For where 
 
 j two or three are gathered together in my 
 
 name, there am I in the midst of them. 
 
 21 Then came Peter, and said to him, 
 Lord, how oft shall my brother sin 
 against me, and I forgive him ? until 
 
 22 seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I 
 say not unto thee, Until seven times ; 
 
 23 but, Until 7 seventy times seven. There- 
 fore is the kingdom of heaven likened 
 unto a certain king, which would make 
 
 24 a reckoning with his 8 servants. And 
 when he had begun to reckon, one was 
 brought unto him, which owed him ten 
 
 25 thousand 9 talents. But forasmuch as 
 he had not wherewith to pay, his lord 
 commanded him to be sold, and his wife, 
 and children, and all that he had, and 
 
 26 payment to be made. The 10 servant 
 therefore fell down and worshipped 
 him, saying, Lord, have patience with 
 
 27 me, and I will pay thee all. And the lord 
 
 of that 10 servant, being moved with com- 
 passion, released him, and forgave him 
 
 28 the 11 debt. But that 10 servant went out, 
 and found one of his fellow- servants, 
 which owed him a hundred 12 pence: and 
 he laid hold on him, and took him by the 
 throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. 
 
 29 So his fellow-servant fell down and be- 
 sought him, saying, Have patience with 
 
 30 me, and I will pay thee. And he would 
 not : but went and cast him into prison, 
 till he should pay that Avhicli was due. 
 
 31 So when his fellow-servants saw what 
 was done, they were exceeding sorry, 
 and came and told unto their lord all 
 
 32 that was done. Then his lord called him 
 unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked 
 10 servant, I forgave thee all that debt, 
 
 33 because thou besouglitest me : should- 
 est not thou also have had mercy on thy 
 fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on 
 
 34 thee ? And his lord was wroth, and de- 
 livered him to the tormentors, till he 
 
 35 should pay all that was due. So shall 
 also my heavenly Father do unto you, 
 if ye forgive not every one his brother 
 from your hearts. 
 
 IQ And it came to pass when Jesus had 
 finished these words, he departed from 
 Galilee, and came into the borders of 
 
 2 Judaea beyond Jordan ; and great mul- 
 titudes followed him; and he healed 
 them there. 
 
 3 And there came mito him 13 Pharisees, 
 tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful 
 for a man to put away liis wife for every 
 
 4 cause? And he answered and said, 
 Have ye not read, that he which 14 made 
 them from the beginning made them 
 
 5 male and female, and said, For this 
 cause shall a man leave his father and 
 mother, and shall cleave to his wife ; and 
 
 6 the twain shall become one flesh ? So 
 that they are no more twain, but one 
 flesh. What therefore God hath joined 
 
 7 together, let not man put asunder. They 
 say unto him, Why then did Moses com- 
 mand to give a bill of divorcement, and 
 
 8 to put her away ? He saith unto them, 
 Moses for your hardness of heart suf- 
 fered you to put away your wives : but 
 from the beginning it hath not been so. 
 
 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall 
 put away his wife, 15 except for fornica- 
 tion, and shall marry another, commit- 
 teth adultery: 16 and he that marrietli 
 her when she is put away committetli 
 
 10 adultery. The disciples say unto him, 
 If the case of the man is so with his wife, 
 
 11 it is not expedient to marry. But he said 
 unto them, All men cannot receive this 
 saying, but they to whom it is given. 
 
 12 For there are eunuchs, which were so 
 born from their mother’s womb: and 
 there are eunuchs, which were made 
 eunuchs by men : and there are eunuchs, 
 which made themselves eunuchs for the 
 kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is 
 able to receive it, let him receive it.

 cometh unto the disciples, and findetli 
 them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, 
 What, could ye not watch with me one 
 
 41 hour ? 1 W atch and pray, that ye enter 
 not into temptation : the spirit indeed is 
 
 42 willing, but the flesh is weak. Again 
 a second time he went away, and 
 prayed, saying, 0 my Father, if this 
 cannot pass away, except I drink it, 
 
 43 thy will be done. And he came again 
 and found them sleeping, for their 
 
 44 eyes were heavy. And he left them 
 again, and went away, and prayed a 
 third time, saying again the same 
 
 45 words. Then cometh he to the dis- 
 ciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on 
 now, and take your rest: behold, the 
 hour is at hand, and the Son of man is 
 betrayed unto the hands of sinners. 
 
 46 Arise, let us be going : behold, he is at 
 hand that betrayeth me. 
 
 47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, 
 one of the twelve, came, and with him 
 a great multitude with swords and 
 staves, from the chief priests and elders 
 
 48 of the people. Now he that betrayed 
 him gave them a sign, saying, Whomso- 
 ever I shall kiss, that is he : take him. 
 
 49 And straightway he came to Jesus, and 
 
 50 said, Hail, Eabbi; and 2 kissedhim. And 
 Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for 
 which thou art come. Then they came 
 and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 
 
 51 And behold, one of them that were with 
 Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew 
 his sword, and smote the 3 servant of 
 the high priest, and struck off his ear. 
 
 52 Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up a- 
 gain thy sword into its place : for all 
 they that take the sword shall perish 
 
 53 with the sword. Or tliinkest thou that 
 I cannot beseech my Father, and he 
 shall even now send me more than 
 
 54 twelve legions of angels ? How then 
 should the scriptures be fulfilled, that 
 
 55 thus it must be ? In that hour said Je- 
 sus to the multitudes, Are ye come out 
 as against a robber with swords and 
 staves to seize me? I sat daily in the 
 temple teaching, and ye took me not. 
 
 56 But all this is come to pass, that the 
 scriptures of the prophets might be 
 fulfilled. Then all the disciples left 
 him, and fled. 
 
 57 And they that had taken Jesus led him 
 away to the house o/Caiaphas the high 
 priest, where the scribes and the elders 
 
 58 were gathered together. But Peter fol- 
 lowed him afar off, unto the court of the 
 high priest, and entered in, and sat with 
 
 59 the officers, to see the end. Now the 
 
 chief priests and the whole council 
 sought false witness against Jesus, that 
 
 60 they might put him to death ; and they 
 found it not, though many false wit- 
 nesses came. But afterward came two, 
 
 61 and said, This man said, I am able to 
 destroy the 4 temple of God, and to build 
 
 62 it in three days. And the high priest 
 stood up, and said unto him, Answerest 
 thou notliirtg ? what is it which these 
 
 63 witness against thee ? But Jesus held 
 his peace. And the high priest said unto 
 him, I adjure thee by the living God, 
 that thou tell us whether thou be the 
 
 64 Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith un- 
 to him, Thou hast said : nevertheless I 
 say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see 
 the Son of man sitting at the right hand 
 of power, and coming on the clouds of 
 
 65 heaven. Then the high priest rent his 
 garments, saying, He hath spoken blas- 
 phemy : what further need have we of 
 witnesses ? behold, now ye have heard 
 
 66 the blasphemy : what think ye ? They 
 answered and said, He is 5 worthy of 
 
 67 death. Then did they spit in his face 
 and buffet him : and some smote him 
 
 68 6 with the palms of their hands, saymg, 
 Prophesy unto us, thou Christ : who is 
 he that struck thee ? 
 
 69 Now Peter was sitting without in the 
 court : and a maid came unto him, say- 
 ing, Thou also wast with Jesus the Gali- 
 
 701sean. But he denied before them all, 
 saying, I know not what thou sayest. 
 
 71 And when he w T as gone out into the 
 porch, another maid saw him, and saith 
 unto them that were there, This man 
 
 72 also was with Jesus the Nazarene. And 
 again he denied with an oath, I know 
 
 73 not the man. And after a little while 
 they that stood by came and said to 
 Peter, Of a truth thou also art one of 
 them ; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. 
 
 74 Then began lie to curse and to swear, 
 I know not the man. And straightway 
 
 75 the cock crew. And Peter remembered 
 the word which Jesus had said, Before 
 the cock crow, thou slialt deny me 
 thrice. And he went out, and wept 
 bitterly. 
 
 2 7 Now when morning was come, all the 
 chief priests and the elders of the peo- 
 ple took comisel against Jesus to put 
 
 2 him to death : and they bound him, and 
 led him away, and delivered him up to 
 Pilate the governor. 
 
 3 Then Judas, which betrayed him, when 
 he saw that he was condemned, repent- 
 ed himself, and brought back the thirty 
 pieces of silver to the chief priests and 
 
 4 elders, saying, I have sinned in that I 
 betrayed 7 innocent blood. But they 
 said, What is that to us ? see thou to 
 
 hit. And he cast down the pieces of 
 silver into the sanctuary, and de- 
 parted ; and he went away and hanged 
 
 6 himself. And the chief priests took 
 the pieces of silver, and said, It is

 THE GOSPEL 
 
 ACCORDING TO 
 
 S. MARK. 
 
 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus 
 Christ, x the Son of God. 
 
 2 Even as it is written 2 in Isaiah the 
 prophet, 
 
 Behold, I send my messenger before 
 thy face, 
 
 Who shall prepare thy way ; 
 
 3 The voice of one crying in the wil- 
 
 derness, 
 
 Make ye ready the way of the Lord, 
 
 Make his paths straight ; 
 
 4 John came, who baptized in the wilder- 
 ness and preached the baptism of re- 
 
 5 pentance unto remission of sins. And 
 there went out unto him all the country 
 of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem ; 
 and they were baptized of him in the 
 river Jordan, confessing their sins. 
 
 6 And John was clothed with camel’s 
 hair, and had a leathern girdle about 
 his loins, and did eat locusts and wild 
 
 7 honey. And he preached, saying, There 
 cometh after me he that is mightier 
 than I, the latchet of whose shoes I 
 am not 3 worthy to stoop down and 
 
 8 unloose. I baptized you 4 with water ; 
 but he shall baptize you 4 with the 
 3 Holy Ghost. 
 
 9 And it came to pass in those days, 
 that Jesus came from Nazareth of 
 Galilee, and was baptized of John 6 in 
 
 10 the Jordan. And straightway coming 
 up out of the water, he saw the heavens 
 rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove 
 
 11 descending upon him: and a voice 
 came out of the heavens, Thou art my 
 beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. 
 
 12 And straightway the Spirit drivetli 
 
 13 him forth into the wilderness. And 
 he was in the wilderness forty days 
 tempted of Satan ; and he was with the 
 wild beasts ; and the angels ministered 
 unto him. 
 
 14 Now after that John was delivered 
 up, Jesus came into Galilee, j)reaching 
 
 15 the gospel of God, and saying, The 
 time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of 
 God is at hand: repent ye, and believe 
 in the gospel. 
 
 16 And passing along by the sea of Gali- 
 lee, he saw Simon and Andrew the 
 brother of Simon casting a net in the 
 
 17 sea : for they were fishers. And Jesus 
 said unto them, Come ye after me, and 
 I will make you to become fishers of 
 
 18 men. And straightway they left the 
 
 19 nets, and followed him. And going on 
 a little further, he saw James the son of 
 Zebedee, and John his brother, who 
 also were in the boat mending the nets. 
 
 20 And straight way he called them : and 
 they left their father Zebedee in the 
 
 boat with the hired servants, and went 
 after him. 
 
 21 And they go into Capernaum; and 
 straightway on the sabbath day he 
 entered into the synagogue and taught. 
 
 22 And they were astonished at his teach- 
 ing : for he taught them as having au- 
 
 23thority, and not as the scribes. And 
 straightway there was in their syna- 
 gogue a man with an unclean spirit; 
 
 24 and he cried out, saying, What have 
 we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Na- 
 zareth ? art thou come to destroy us ? 
 
 I know thee who thou art, the Holy 
 
 25 One of God. And Jesus rebuked 7 him, 
 saying, Hold thy peace, and come out 
 
 26 of him. And the unclean spirit, 8 tear- 
 ing him and crying with a loud voice, 
 
 27 came out of him. And they were all 
 amazed, insomuch that they questioned 
 among themselves, saying, What is 
 this ? a new teaching ! with authority he 
 commandeth even the unclean spirits, 
 
 28 and they obey him. And the report of 
 him went out straightway everywhere 
 into all the region of Galilee round 
 about. 
 
 29 And straightway, 9 when they were 
 come out of the synagogue, they came 
 into the house of Simon and Andrew, 
 
 30 with James and John. Now Simon’s 
 wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and 
 
 31 straightway they tell him of her : and 
 he came and took her by the hand, and 
 raised her up ; and the fever left her, 
 and she ministered unto them. 
 
 32 And at even, when the sun did set, 
 they brought unto him all that were 
 sick, and them that were 10 possessed 
 
 33 with devils. And all the city was ga- 
 
 34thered together at the door. And he 
 
 healed many that were sick with divers 
 diseases, and cast out many 11 devils ; 
 and he suffered not the 11 devils to 
 speak, because they knew him 12 . 
 
 35 And in the morning, a great while be- 
 fore day, he rose up and went out, and 
 departed into a desert place, and there 
 
 36 prayed. And Simon and they that were 
 
 37 with him followed after him ; and they 
 found him, and say unto him, All are 
 
 38 seeking thee. And he saitli unto them,

S. MARK. 
 
 *21 And he said nnto them, Is the lamp 
 brought to be put under the bushel, or 
 under the bed, and not to be put on the 
 
 ‘22 stand ? For there is nothing hid, save 
 that it should be manifested; neither 
 was anything made secret, but that it 
 
 23 should come to light. If any man hath 
 
 24 ears to hear, let him hear. And he said 
 unto them, Take heed wdiat ye hear: 
 with what measure ye mete it shall be 
 measured unto you : and more shall he 
 
 25 given unto you. For he that hath, to 
 him shall be given: and he that hath 
 not, from him shall be taken away even 
 that which he hath. 
 
 26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, 
 as if a man should cast seed upon the 
 
 27 earth ; and should sleep and rise night 
 and day, and the seed should spring up 
 
 28 and grow, he knoweth not how. The 
 earth ibeareth fruit of herself ; first the 
 blade, then the ear, then the full corn 
 
 29 in the ear. But when the fruit 2 is 
 ripe, straightway he 3 putteth forth the 
 sickle, because the harvest is come. 
 
 30 And he said, How shall we liken the 
 kingdom of God ? or in what parable 
 
 31 shall we set it forth ? 4 It is like a grain 
 of mustard seed, which, when it is sown 
 upon the earth, though it be less than 
 all the seeds that are upon the earth, 
 
 32 yet when it is sown, groweth up, and 
 becometh greater than all the herbs, 
 and putteth out great branches ; so 
 that the birds of the heaven can lodge 
 under the shadow thereof. 
 
 33 And with many such parables spake he 
 the word unto them, as they were able to 
 
 34 hear it: and without a parable spake 
 he not unto them : but privately to his 
 own disciples he expounded all things. 
 
 35 And on that day, when even was come, 
 he saith unto them, Let us go over unto 
 
 36 the other side. And leaving the multi- 
 tude, they take him with them, even as 
 he was, in the boat. And other boats 
 
 37 were with him. And there ariseth a 
 great storm of wind, and the waves beat 
 into the boat, insomuch that the boat 
 
 38 was now filling. And he himself was in 
 the stern, asleep on the cushion: and 
 they awake him, and say unto him, 
 5 Master, carest thou not that we perish? 
 
 39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, 
 and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. 
 And the wind ceased, and there was a 
 
 40 great calm. And he said unto them, 
 Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet 
 
 41 faith? And they feared exceedingly, 
 and said one to another, Who then is 
 this, that even the wind and the sea 
 obey him ? 
 
 5 And they came to the other side of the 
 sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. 
 
 2 And when he was come out of the boat, 
 straightway there met him out of the 
 
 3 tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who 
 had his dwelling in the tombs : and no 
 man could any more bind him, no, not 
 
 4 with a chain ; because that he had been 
 often bound with fetters and chains, and 
 the chains had been rent asunder by 
 him, and the fetters broken in pieces: 
 and no man had strength to tame him. 
 
 5 And always, night and day, in the tombs 
 and in the mountains, he was crying 
 out, and cutting himself with stones. 
 
 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he 
 
 7 ran and worshipped him ; and crying 
 out with a loud voice, he saith, What 
 have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son 
 of the Most High God ? I adjure thee 
 
 8 by God, torment me not. For he said 
 unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spi- 
 
 9 rit, out of the man. And he asked him, 
 What is thy name ? And he saith unto 
 him, My name is Legion; for we are 
 
 10 many. And he besought him much that 
 he would not send them away out of the 
 
 11 country. Now there was there on the 
 mountain side a great herd of swine 
 
 12 feeding. And they besought him, say- 
 ing, Send us into the swine, that we may 
 
 13 enter into them. And he gave them 
 leave. And the unclean spirits came out, 
 and entered into the swine : and the herd 
 rushed down the steep into the sea, in 
 number about two thousand ; and they 
 
 14 were choked in the sea. And they that 
 fed them fled, and told it in the city, and 
 in the country. And they came to see 
 
 15 what it was that had come to pass. And 
 they come to Jesus, and behold 6 him 
 that was possessed with devils sitting, 
 clothed and in his right mind, even him 
 that had the legion: and they were 
 
 16 afraid. And they that saw it declared 
 unto them how it befell 6 him that was 
 possessed with devils, and concerning 
 
 17 the swine. And they began to beseech 
 
 18 him to depart from their borders. And 
 as he was entering into the boat, he that 
 had been possessed with 7 devils be- 
 sought him that he might be with him. 
 
 19 And he suffered him not, but saith unto 
 him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, 
 and tell them how great things the Lord 
 hath done for thee, and how he had 
 
 20 mercy on thee. And he went his way, 
 and began to publish in Decapolis how 
 great things Jesus had done for him : 
 and all men did marvel. 
 
 21 And when Jesus had crossed over again 
 in the boat unto the other side, a great 
 multitude was gathered unto him : and 
 
 22 he was by the sea. And there cometh 
 one of the rulers of the synagogue, 
 Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he 
 
 23 falleth at his feet, and beseecheth him 
 much, saying, My little daughter is at 
 the point of death : I pray thee , that 
 thou come and lay thy hands on her, 
 that she may be 8 made whole, and five. 
 
 24 And he went with him; and a great 
 multitude followed him, and they 
 thronged him. 
 
 25 And a woman, which had an issue 
 
 26 of blood twelve years, and had suf-

 27 having heard the things concerning 
 
 them, A prophet is not without honour, 
 
 
 
 Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and

 had no child, because that Elisabeth 
 yv as barren, and they both were now 
 1 well stricken in years. 
 
 8 Now it came to pass, while he exe- 
 cuted the priest’s office before God in 
 
 9 the order of his course, according to 
 the custom of the priest’s office, his lot 
 was to enter into the. 2 temple of the 
 
 10 Lord and burn incense. And the whole 
 multitude of the people were praying 
 
 11 without at the hour of incense. And 
 there appeared unto him an angel of 
 the Lord standing on the right side of 
 
 12 the altar of incense. And .Zaeharias 
 was troubled when he saw him, and 
 
 1 3 fear fell upon him. But the angel said 
 unto him, Fear not, Zaeharias i because 
 thy supplica tion is heard, and thy wife 
 Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou 
 
 14shalt call his name John. And thou 
 shalt have joy and gladness ; and many 
 
 15 shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall 
 be great in the sight of the Lord, and 
 he shall drink no wine nor 3 strong drink; 
 and he shall be filled with the 4 Holy 
 Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. 
 
 16 And many of the children of Israel shall 
 
 17 he turn unto the Lord their God. And 
 he shall 5 go before his face in the spirit 
 and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts 
 of the fathers to the children, and the 
 disobedient tp walk in the wisdom of the 
 just ; to make ready for the Lord a peo- 
 
 18 pie prepared/!)?’ him. And Zaeharias 
 said unto the angel, Whereby shall I 
 knew this? for I am an old man, and 
 
 19 my wife 6 well stricken in years. And 
 the angel answering said unto him, I 
 am Gabriel, that stand in the presence 
 of God; and I was sent to speak unto 
 thee, and to bmTg thee these good ti- 
 
 20 dings . An d behold , thou sh alt be silent 
 and not aide to speak, until the day 
 that these things shall come to pass, 
 because thou believedst not my words, 
 which shall be fulfilled in their season. 
 
 21 And the people were waiting for Zaclia- 
 rias, and they marvelled 7 while he tar- 
 
 22 ried in the 2 temple. And when lie came 
 out, he could not speak unto them: and 
 they perceived that he had seen a vision 
 in the 2 temple * and he continued mak- 
 ing signs unto them, and remained 
 
 23 dumb. And it came to pass, when the 
 days of his ministration were fulfilled, 
 he departed unto his house. 
 
 24 And after tb&se days Elisabeth his 
 wife conceived; and she hid herself 
 
 25 five months, saying, Thus hath the 
 Lord done unto me in the days where- 
 in he looked upon me, to take away 
 my reproach among men . 
 
 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Ga- 
 briel was sent from God unto a city of 
 
 27 Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin 
 betrothed to a man whose name was 
 JosepE, of the house of David ; and the 
 
 28 virgin s name was Mary And he came 
 in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that 
 
 art 8 highly favoured, the Lord is with 
 
 29 thee 9 . But she was greatly troubled 
 at the saying, and cast in her mind 
 what manner of salutation this might 
 
 30 be. And the angel said unto her, Fear 
 not, Mary: for thou hast found 10 fa- 
 
 31 vour with God. And behold, thou shalt 
 conceive in thy womb, and bring forth 
 a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. 
 
 32 He shall be great, and shall be called 
 the Son of the Mo st Hi gh: and the 
 Lord God shall give “unto him the 
 
 .33 throne of his father David: and he 
 shall reign over the house of Jacob 11 for 
 ever ; and of his kingdom there shall be 
 
 34 no end. And Mary said unto the angel, 
 How shall this be, seeing I know not a 
 
 35 man ? And the angel answered and said 
 unto her, The Holy Ghost s hall c ome 
 upon thee, and the power of the Most 
 High shall overshadow thee : wherefore 
 also 12 that which 13 is to be born 14 shall 
 
 36 be called holy, the Son of God. And be- 
 hold, Elisabeth thy kins woman, she also 
 hath conceived a son in her old age : 
 and this is the sixth month with her that 
 
 37 15 was called barren . Fpu no word from 
 
 88 God shall be void of power. And Mary 
 said, Behold, the 16 handmaid of the 
 Lord ; be it unto me according to thy 
 word. And the angel departed from her. 
 
 39 And Mary arose in these days and 
 went into the hill country with haste, 
 
 40 into a city of Judah; and entered into 
 the house of Zaeharias and saluted Eli- 
 
 41 sabetli. And it came to pass, when 
 Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, 
 the babe leaped in her womb ; and Elisa- 
 beth was filled with the Holy Ghost ; 
 
 42 and she lifted up her voice with a loud 
 c;ry, and'saicT, Blessed art, thou among 
 women, and blessed is the fruit of thy 
 
 43 womb. And whence is this to me, that 
 the mother of my Lord should come 
 
 44 unto me ? For Jb&liQld, when the voice 
 of thy salutation came into mine ears, 
 the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 
 
 45 And blessed is she that 17 believed; for 
 there shall be a fulfilment of the things 
 which have been spSkeh to her from 
 
 46 the Lord. And Mary said, 
 
 My soul doth magnify the Lord, 
 
 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God 
 
 my Saviour. 
 
 48 For he hath looked upon the low 
 
 estate of his ^handmaiden : 
 
 For behold, from henceforth all gene-

 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of 
 1 repentance, and begin not to say within 
 yourselves, We have Abraham to our 
 father : for I say unto you, that God is 
 able of these stones to raise up children 
 
 9 unto Abraham. And even now is the 
 axe also laid unto the root of the trees : 
 every tree therefore that bringeth not 
 forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast 
 
 10 into the fire. And the multitudes asked 
 him, saying, What then must we do ? 
 
 11 And he answered and said unto them, 
 He that hath two coats, let him impart 
 to him that hath none; and he that 
 
 12 hath food, let him do likewise. And 
 there came also 2 publicans to be bap- 
 tized, and they said unto him, 3 Master, 
 
 13 what must we do? And he said unto 
 them, Extort no more than that which 
 
 14 is appointed you. And 4 soldiers also 
 asked him, saying, And we, what must 
 we do ? And he said unto them, Do vio- 
 lence to no man, neither 5 exact anything 
 wrongfully ; and be content with your 
 wages. 
 
 15 And as the people were in expecta- 
 tion, and ail men reasoned in their hearts 
 concerning J ohn , whether haply he were 
 
 16 the Christ ; John answered, saying unto 
 them all, I indeed baptize you with 
 water; but there cometli he that is 
 mightier than I, the latchet of whose 
 shoes I am not 6 worthy to unloose : he 
 shall baptize you 7 with the Holy Ghost 
 
 17 and with fire : whose fan is in his hand, 
 throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, 
 and to gather the wheat into his garner ; 
 but the chaff he will burn up with un- 
 quenchable fire. 
 
 18 With many other exhortations there- 
 fore preached he 8 good tidings unto the 
 
 19 people ; but Herod the tetrarch, being 
 reproved by him for Herodias his bro- 
 ther’s wife, and for all the evil things 
 
 20 which Herod had done, added yet this 
 above all, that he shut up John in prison. 
 
 21 Now it came to pass, when all the 
 people were baptized, that, Jesus also 
 having been baptized, and praying, the 
 
 22 heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost 
 descended in a bodily form, as a dove, 
 upon him, and a voice came out of 
 heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in 
 thee I am well pleased. 
 
 23 And Jesus himself, when he began 
 to teach , was about thirty years of 
 age, being the son (as was supposed) 
 
 24 of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son 
 of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son

 4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, 
 returned from the Jordan, and was led 
 
 2 13 by the Spirit in the wilderness during 
 forty days, being tempted of the devil. 
 And he did eat nothing in those days : 
 and when they were completed, he 
 
 3 hungered. And the devil said unto 
 him, If thou art the Son of God, com- 
 mand this stone that it become 14 bread. 
 
 4 And Jesus answered unto him, It is 
 written, Man shall not live by bread 
 
 5 alone. And he led him up, and 
 shewed him all the kingdoms of 15 the 
 
 6 world in a moment of time. And the 
 devil said unto him, To thee will I 
 give all this authority, and the glory 
 of them: for it hath been delivered 
 unto me ; and to whomsoever I will I 
 
 7 give it. If thou therefore wilt worship 
 
 8 before me, it shall all be thine. And 
 Jesus answered and said unto him, 
 It is written, Thou shalt worship 
 the Lord thy God, and him only shalt 
 
 9 thou serve. And he led him to Jeru- 
 salem, and set him on the 16 pinnacle of 
 the temple, and said unto him, If thou 
 art the Son of God, cast thyself down 
 
 10 from hence : for it is written, 
 
 He shall give his angels charge con- 
 cerning thee, to guard thee : 
 
 11 and, 
 
 On their hands they shall bear thee up, 
 
 Lest haply thou dash thy foot against 
 a stone. 
 
 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, 
 It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the 
 Lord thy God. 
 
 13 And when the devil had completed 
 every temptation, he departed from 
 him 17 for a season.

 welcomed him ; for they were all wait-

 41 ing for him. And behold, there came a 
 
 that was done : and he was much per- 
 
 
 
 man named Jairus, and he was a ruler 
 
 plexed, because that it was said by some , 
 
 
 
 of the synagogue : and he fell down at 
 
 8 that John was risen from the dead ; and 
 
 
 
 Jesus’ feet, and besought him to come 
 
 by some, that Elijah had appeared ; and 
 
 
 
 42 into his house ; for he had an only daugh- 
 
 by others, that one of the old prophets 
 
 
 
 ter, about twelve years of age, and she 
 
 9 was risen again. And Herod said, John 
 
 
 
 lay a dying. But as he went the mul- 
 
 I beheaded: but who is this, about

 twelve years, which 5 had spent all her

 they had done. And he took them, and

 withdrew apart to a city called Beth-

 ing upon 
 
 immediately the issue of her blood 
 
 11 saida. But the multitudes perceiving it 
 
 
 physi- 
 
 45 stanched. And Jesus said, Who is it 
 
 followed him : and he welcomed them, 
 
 
 cians, 
 
 and. 
 
 that touched me ? And when all 
 
 and spake to them of the kingdom of

 denied, Peter said, 6 and they that were

 with him, Master, the multitudes press

 having 
 
 13 are here in a desert place. But he said 
 unto them, Give ye them to eat. And 
 they said, We have no more than five 
 loaves and two fishes ; except we should 
 
 14 go and buy food for all this people. For 
 they were about five thousand men. And 
 he said unto his disciples, Make them 
 1 sit down in companies, about fifty each. 
 
 15 And they did so, and made them all 1 sit 
 
 16 down. And he took the five loaves and 
 the two fishes, andlooking up to heaven, 
 he blessed them, and brake ; and gave to 
 the disciples to set before the multitude. 
 
 17 And they did eat, and were all filled : and 
 there was taken up that which remained 
 over to them of broken pieces, twelve 
 baskets. 
 
 18 And it came to pass, as he was praying 
 alone, the disciples were with him : and 
 he asked them, saying, Who do the mul- 
 
 19 titudes say that I am ? And they answer- 
 ing said, John the Baptist ; but others 
 say, Elijah ; and others, that one of the 
 
 20 old prophets is risen again. And he said 
 unto them, But who say ye that I am ? 
 And Peter answering said, The Christ of 
 
 21 God. But he charged them, and com- 
 
 22 manded them to tell this to no man ; say- 
 ing, The Son of man must suffer many 
 things, and be rejected of the elders and 
 chief priests and scribes, and be killed, 
 
 23 and the third day be raised up. And he 
 said unto all, If any man would come 
 after me, let him deny himself, and take 
 
 24 up his cross daily, and follow me. For 
 whosoever would save his 2 life shall 
 lose it; but whosoever shall lose his 
 2 life for my sake, the same shall save 
 
 25 it. For what is a man profited, if he 
 gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit 
 
 26 his own self ? For whosoever shall be 
 ashamed of me and of my words, of him 
 shall the Son of man be ashamed, when 
 he cometh in his own glory, and the 
 glory of the Father, and of the holy an- 
 
 27 gels. But I tell you of a truth, There 
 be some of them that stand here, which 
 shall in no wise taste of death, till they 
 see the kingdom of God. 
 
 28 And it came to pass about eight days 
 after these sayings, he took with him 
 Peter and John and James, and went 
 
 29 up into the mountain to pray. And as 
 he was praying, the fashion of his coun- 
 tenance was altered, and his raiment he- 
 
 30 came white and dazzling. And behold, 
 there talked with him two men, which 
 
 31 were Moses and Elijah ; who appeared 
 in glory, and spake of his 3 decease 
 which he was about to accomplish at 
 
 32 Jerusalem. Now Peter and they that 
 were with him were heavy with sleep : 
 but 4 when they were fully awake, they 
 saw his glory, and the two men that 
 
 33 stood with him. And it came to pass, 
 as they were parting from him, Peter 
 said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for 
 us to be here : and let us make three 
 5 tabernacles; one for thee, and one for 
 
 Moses, and one for Elijah: not know- 
 
 34 ing what he said. And while he said 
 these things, there came a cloud, and 
 overshadowed them: and they feared 
 
 35 as they entered into the cloud. And a 
 voice came out of the cloud, saying, 
 This is 6 my Son, my chosen : hear ye 
 
 36 him. And when the voice 7 came, Jesus 
 was found alone. And they held their 
 peace, and told no man in those days 
 any of the things which they had seen. 
 
 37 And it came to pass, on the next day, 
 when they were come down from the 
 mountain, a great multitude met him. 
 
 38 And behold, a man from the multitude 
 cried, saying, 8 Master, I beseech thee 
 to look upon my son ; for he is mine only 
 
 39 child : and behold, a spirit taketh him, 
 and he suddenly crietli out; and it 
 9 teareth him that he foameth, and it 
 hardly departeth from him, bruising 
 
 40 him sorely. And I besought thy dis- 
 ciples to cast it out ; and they could not. 
 
 41 And Jesus answered and said, 0 faith- 
 less and perverse generation, how long 
 shall I be with you, and bear with 
 
 42 you ? bring hither thy son. And as he 
 was yet a coming, the 10 devil 11 dashed 
 him down, and 12 tare him grievously. 
 But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, 
 and healed the boy, and gave him back 
 
 43 to his father. And they were all asto- 
 nished at the majesty of God. 
 
 But while all were marvelling at 
 all the things which he did, he said 
 
 44 unto his disciples, Let these words 
 sink into your ears: for the Son of 
 man shall be delivered up into the 
 
 45 hands of men. But they understood 
 not this saying, and it was concealed 
 from them, that they should not per- 
 ceive it: and they were afraid to ask 
 him about this saying. 
 
 46 And there arose a reasoning among 
 them, which of them should be 13 great- 
 
 47 est. But when Jesus saw the reason- 
 ing of their heart, he took a little 
 
 48 child, and set him by his side, and 
 said unto them, Whosoever shall re- 
 ceive this little child in my name re- 
 ceiveth me: and whosoever shall re- 
 ceive me receiveth him that sent me : 
 for he that is 14 least among you all, 
 the same is great. 
 
 49 And John answered and said, Mas- 
 ter, we saw one casting out 15 devils 
 in thy name ; and we forbade him, be- 
 
 50 cause he followeth not with us. But 
 Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not : 
 for he that is not against you is for you. 
 
 51 And it came to pass, when the days 
 16 were well-nigh come that he should 
 be received up, he stedfastly set his face 
 
 52 to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers 
 before his face : and they went, and en- 
 tered into a village of the Samaritans, to 
 
 53 makeready for him. And they did not re- 
 ceive him, because his face was as though 
 
 54 he were going to Jerusalem. And when

 liis disciples James and John saw this , 
 they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid 
 fire to come down from heaven, and 
 
 55 consume them 1 ? But he turned, and 
 
 56 rebuked them 2 . And they went to an- 
 other village. 
 
 57 And as they went in the way, a cer- 
 tain man said unto him, I will follow 
 
 58 thee whithersoever thou goest. And 
 Jesus said unto him, The foxes have 
 holes, and the birds of the heaven have 
 3 nests; but the Son of man hath not 
 
 59 where to lay his head. And he said unto 
 another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, 
 suffer me first to go and bury my father. 
 
 60 But he said unto him, Leave the dead to 
 bury their own dead ; but go thou and 
 publish abroad the kingdom of God. 
 
 61 And another also said, I will follow thee, 
 Lord ; but first suffer me to bid farewell 
 
 62 to them that are at my house. But Jesus 
 said unto him, No man, having put his 
 hand to the plough, and looking back, 
 is fit for the kingdom of God. 
 
 10 Now after these things the Lord ap- 
 pointed seventy 4 others, and sent them 
 two and two before his face into every 
 city and place, whither he himself was 
 
 2 about to come. And he said unto them, 
 The harvest is plenteous, but the labour- 
 ers are few : pray ye therefore the Lord 
 of the harvest, that he send forth la- 
 
 3 bourers into his harvest. Go your ways : 
 behold, I send you forth as lambs in the 
 
 4 midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no wal- 
 let, no shoes : and salute no man on the 
 
 5 way. And into whatsoever house ye 
 shall 5 enter, first say, Peace he to this 
 
 6 house. And if a son of peace be there, 
 your peace shall rest upon 6 him: but 
 
 7 if not, it shall turn to you again. And 
 in that same house remain, eating and 
 drinking such things as they give : for 
 the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go 
 
 8 not from house to house. And into 
 whatsoever city ye enter, and they re- 
 ceive you, eat such things as are set 
 
 9 before you : and heal the sick that are 
 therein, and say unto them, The king- 
 
 10 dom of God is come nigh unto you. But 
 into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and 
 they receive you not, go out into the 
 
 11 streets thereof and say, Even the dust 
 from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, 
 we do wipe off against you: howbeit 
 know this, that the kingdom of God is 
 
 12 come nigh. I say unto you, It shall be 
 more tolerable in that day for Sodom, 
 
 13 than for that city. Woe unto thee, Cho- 
 razin ! woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! for if 
 the 7 mighty works had been done in 
 Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, 
 they would have repented long ago, sit- 
 
 14 ting in sackcloth and ashes. Howbeit 
 it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and 
 Sidon in the judgement, than for you. 
 
 15 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be 
 exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be 
 
 16 brought down unto Hades. He that 
 
 heareth you heareth me ; and he that 
 rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he 
 that rejecteth me rejecteth him that 
 sent me. 
 
 17 And the seventy returned with joy, 
 saying, Lord, even the 8 devils are sub- 
 
 18 ject unto us in thy name. And he said 
 unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as 
 
 19 lightning from heaven. Behold, 1 have 
 given you, authority to tread upon ser- 
 pents and scorpions, and over all the 
 power of the enemy : and nothing shall 
 
 20 in any wise hurt you. Howbeit in this 
 rejoice not, that the spirits are subject 
 unto you; but rejoice that your names 
 are written in heaven. 
 
 21 In that same hour he rejoiced 9 hi the 
 Holy Spirit, and said, 1 10 thank thee, O 
 Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that 
 thou didst hide these things from the 
 wise and understanding, and didst 
 reveal them unto babes : yea, Father ; 
 11 for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 
 
 22 All things have been delivered unto me 
 of my Father : and no one knoweth who 
 the Son is, save the Father; and who 
 the Father is, save the Son, and he to 
 whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal 
 
 23 him. And turning to the disciples, he 
 said privately, Blessed are the eyes 
 
 24 which see the things that ye see: for 
 I say unto you, that many prophets and 
 kings desired to see the things which ye 
 see, and saw them not ; and to hear the 
 things which ye hear, and heard them 
 not. 
 
 25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood 
 up and tempted him, saying, 12 Master, 
 what shall I do to inherit eternal life ? 
 
 26 And he said unto him, What is written 
 
 27 in the law ? how readest thou ? And 
 he answering said, Thou shalt love the 
 Lord thy God 18 with all thy heart, 
 and with all thy soul, and with all thy 
 strength, and with all thy mind ; and 
 
 28 thy neighbour as thyself. And he said 
 unto him, Thou hast answered right: 
 
 29 this do, and thou shalt live. But he, 
 desiring to justify himself, said unto 
 Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 
 
 30 Jesus made answer and said, A cer- 
 tain man was going down from Je- 
 rusalem to Jericho ; and he fell a- 
 mong robbers, which both stripped him 
 and beat him, and departed, leaving 
 
 31 him half dead. And by chance a cer- 
 tain priest was going down that way : 
 and when he saw him, he passed by 
 
 32 on the other side. And in like man- 
 ner a Levite also, when he came to 
 the place, and saw him, passed by on 
 
 33 the other side. But a certain Samari- 
 tan, as he journeyed, came where he 
 was : and when he saw him, he was 
 
 34 moved with compassion, and came to 
 him, and bound up his wounds, pour- 
 ing on them oil and wine ; and he set 
 him on his own beast, and brought him 
 
 35 to an inn, and took care of him. And

 on tlie morrow he took out two 1 pence, 
 and gave them to the host, and said, 
 Take care of him; and whatsoever 
 thou spendest more, I, when I come 
 
 36 back again, will repay thee. Which 
 of these three, tliinkest thou, proved 
 neighbour unto him that fell among the 
 
 37 robbers? And he said, He that shewed 
 mercy onliim. And Jesus said unto him, 
 Go, and do thou likewise. 
 
 38 Now as they went on their way, he 
 entered into a certain village: and a 
 certain woman named Martha received 
 
 39 him into her house. And she had a 
 sister called Mary, which also sat at 
 the Lord’s feet, and heard his word. 
 
 40 But Martha was 2 cumbered about much 
 serving ; and she came up to him, and 
 said, Lord, dost thou not care that my 
 sister did leave me to serve alone? 
 bid her therefore that she help me. 
 
 41 But the Lord answered and said unto 
 her, 3 Martha, Martha, thou art anxious 
 
 42 and troubled about many things : 4 but 
 one thing is needful: for Mary hath 
 chosen the good part, which shall not be 
 taken away from her. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, as he was pray- 
 ing in a certain place, that when he 
 ceased, one of his disciples said unto 
 him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as 
 
 2 John also taught his disciples. And 
 he said unto them, When ye pray, 
 say, 5 Bather, Hallowed be thy name. 
 
 3 Thy kingdom come. 6 Give us day by 
 
 4 day 7 our daily bread. And forgive us 
 our sins ; for we ourselves also forgive 
 every one that is indebted to us. And 
 bring us not into temptation 8 . 
 
 5 And he said unto them, Which of you 
 shall have a friend, and shall go unto 
 him at midnight, and say to him, 
 
 6 Friend, lend me three loaves ; for a 
 friend of mine is come to me from a 
 journey, and I have nothing to set 
 
 7 before him ; and he from within shall 
 answer and say, Trouble me not * the 
 door is now shut ; and my children 
 are with me in bed ; I cannot rise and 
 
 8 give thee 9 I say unto you, Though 
 he will not rise and give him, because 
 he is his friend, yet because of his im- 
 portunity he will arise and give him 
 
 9 9 as many as he needetli. And I say unto 
 you, Ask, and it shall be given you; 
 seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it 
 
 10 shall be opened unto you. For every 
 one that asketh receiveth ; and he that 
 seeketh findetli ; and to him that 
 
 llknocketh it shall be opened. And of 
 which of you that is a father shall 
 his son ask 10 a loaf, and he give him a 
 stone ? or a fish, and he for a fish give 
 
 12 linn a serpent? Or if he shall ask an 
 
 13 egg, will he give him a scorpion 9 If ye 
 then, being evil, know how to give good 
 gifts unto your children, how much 
 more shall your heavenly Father give 
 the Holy Spirit to them that ask him ? 
 
 14 And he was casting out a 11 devil which 
 vi as dumb. And it came to pass, when 
 the 11 devil was gone out, the dumb man 
 spake; and the multitudes marvelled. 
 
 15 But some of them said, 12 By Beelzebub 
 the prince of the 13 devils casteth he 
 
 16 out 13 devils. And others, tempting him , 
 
 17 sought of him a sign from heaven. But 
 he, knowing their thoughts, said unto 
 them, Every kingdom divided against 
 itself is brought to desolation ; 14 and a 
 house divided against a house falletli. 
 
 18 And if Satan also is divided against him- 
 self, how shall his kingdom stand? 
 because ye say that I cast out 13 devils 
 
 19 12 by Beelzebu b. And if 1 12 by Beelzebub 
 cast out 13 devils, by whom do your 
 sons cast them out? therefore shall they 
 
 20 be your judges. But if I by the finger 
 of God cast out 13 devils, then is the 
 
 21 kingdom of God come upon you. When 
 the strong mam fully armed guardeth 
 his own court, his goods are in peace : 
 
 22 but when a stronger than he shall come 
 upon him, and overcome him, he taketh 
 from him his whole armour wherein he 
 
 23 trusted, and divideth his spoils. He 
 that is not with me is against me ; and 
 he that gathereth not with me scatter- 
 
 24 eth. The unclean spirit when 15 he is 
 gone out of the man, passeth through 
 waterless places, seeking rest ; and find- 
 ing none, 15 he saith, I will turn back 
 
 25 unto my house whence I came out. And 
 when 15 he is come, 15 he findetli it swept 
 
 26 and garnished. Then goeth 15 he, and 
 taketh to him seven other spirits more 
 evil than 16 himself ; and they enter in and 
 dwell there : and the last state of that 
 man becometh worse than the first. 
 
 27 And it came to pass, as he said these 
 things, a certain woman out of the 
 multitude lifted up her voice, and said 
 unto him, Blessed is the womb that 
 bare thee, and the breasts which thou 
 
 28 didst suck. But he said, Yea rather, 
 blessed are they that hear the word of 
 God, and keep it. 
 
 29 And when the multitudes were gather- 
 ing together unto him, he began to 
 say, This generation is an evil gene- 
 ration. it seeketh after a sign; and 
 there shall no sign be given to it but 
 
 30 the sign of Jonah. For even as 
 Jonah became a sign unto the Nine- 
 vites, so shall also the Son of man 
 
 31 be to this generation. The queen of 
 the south shall rise up in the judge- 
 ment with the men of this genera- 
 tion, and shall condemn them : for she 
 came from the ends of the earth to 
 hear the wisdom of Solomon ; and be- 
 hold, 17 a greater than Solomon is here. 
 
 32 The men of Nineveh shall stand 
 up in the judgement with this gene- 
 ration, and shall condemn it : for 
 they repented at the preaching of 
 Jonah; and behold, 17 "a greater than 
 Jonah is here.

 33 No man, wlien lie hath lighted a 
 lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither 
 under the bushel, but on the stand, that 
 they which enter in may see the light. 
 
 34 The lamp of thy body is thine eye : when 
 thine eye is single, tliy whole body also 
 is full of light ; but when it is evil, thy 
 
 35 body also is full of darkness. Look 
 therefore whether the light that is in 
 
 36 thee be not darkness. If therefore thy 
 whole body be full of light, having no 
 part dark, it shall be wholly full of 
 light, as when the lamp with its bright 
 shining doth give thee light. 
 
 37 Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh 
 him to 1 dine with him : and he went in, 
 
 38 and sat down to meat. And when the 
 Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he 
 had not first washed before 1 dinner. 
 
 39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do 
 ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the 
 cup and of the platter ; but your inward 
 part is full of extortion and wickedness. 
 
 40 Ye foolish ones, did not he that made 
 
 41 the outside make the inside also ? How- 
 beit give for alms those things which 
 2 are within ; and behold, all things 
 are clean unto you. 
 
 42 But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye 
 tithe mint and rue and every herb, 
 and pass over judgement and the love 
 of God: but these ought ye to have 
 done, and not to leave the other undone. 
 
 43 Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love 
 the chief seats in the synagogues, and 
 the salutations in the marketplaces. 
 
 44 Woe unto you! for ye are as the 
 tombs which appear not, and the men 
 that walk over them know it not. 
 
 45 And one of the lawyers answering 
 saitli unto him, 3 Master, in saying this 
 
 46 thou reproachest us also. And he said, 
 Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye 
 lade men with burdens grievous to be 
 borne, and ye yourselves touch not the 
 
 47 burdens with one of your fingers. Woe 
 unto you! for ye build the tombs of 
 the prophets, and your fathers killed 
 
 48 them. So ye are witnesses and consent 
 unto the works of your fathers: for 
 they killed them, and ye build their 
 
 49 tombs. Therefore also said the wisdom 
 of God, I will send unto them pro- 
 phets and apostles ; and some of them 
 
 50 they shall kill and persecute; that 
 the blood of all the prophets, which 
 was shed from the foundation of the 
 world, may be required of this gen era- 
 
 51 tion; from the blood of Abel unto 
 the blood of Zachariah, who perished 
 between the altar and the 4 sanctuary : 
 yea, I say unto you, it shall be re- 
 
 52 quired of this generation. Woe unto 
 you lawyers ! for ye took away the 
 key of knowledge: ye entered not in 
 yourselves, and them that were enter- 
 ing in ye hindered. 
 
 53 And when he was come out from 
 thence, the scribes and the Pharisees 
 
 began to 5 press upon him vehemently, 
 and to provoke him to speak of 6 many 
 
 54 things ; laying wait for him, to catch 
 something out of his mouth. 
 
 12 In the mean time, when 7 the many 
 thousands of the multitude were gather- 
 ed together, insomuch that they trode 
 one upon another, he began to 8 say 
 unto his disciples first of all, Beware 
 ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which 
 
 2 is hypocrisy. But there is nothing 
 covered up, that shall not be revealed : 
 and hid, that shall not be known. 
 
 3 Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in 
 the darkness shall be heard in the light ; 
 and what ye have spoken in the ear in 
 the inner chambers shall be proclaimed 
 
 4 upon the housetops. And I say unto 
 you my friends, Be not afraid of them 
 which kill the body, and after that have 
 
 5 no more that they can do. But I will 
 warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear 
 him, which after he hath killed hath 
 9 power to cast into 10 hell; yea, I say 
 
 6 unto you, Fear him. Are not five spar- 
 rows sold for two farthings ? and not 
 one of them is forgotten in the sight of 
 
 7 God. But the very hairs of your head 
 are all numbered. Fear not: ye are 
 of more value than many sparrows. 
 
 8 And I say unto you, Every one who 
 shall confess 11 me before men, 12 him 
 shall the Son of man also confess be- 
 
 9 fore the angels of God: but he that 
 denieth me in the presence of men 
 shall be denied in the presence of the 
 
 10 angels of God. And every one who 
 shall speak a word against the Son of 
 man, it shall be forgiven him: but 
 unto him that blasphemeth against the 
 Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. 
 
 11 And when they bring you before the 
 synagogues, and the rulers, and the 
 authorities, be not anxious how or what 
 ye shall answer, or what ye shall say : 
 
 12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in 
 that very hour what ye ought to say. 
 
 13 And one out of the multitude said 
 unto him, 3 Master, bid my brother 
 
 14 divide the inheritance with me. But 
 he said unto him, Man, who made me 
 
 15a judge or a divider over you? And 
 he said unto them, Take heed, and 
 keep yourselves from all covetousness : 
 13 for a man’s life consisteth not in the 
 abundance of the things which he pos- 
 
 16 sesseth. And he spake a parable unto 
 them, saying, The ground of a certain 
 rich man brought forth plentifully: 
 
 17 and he reasoned within himself, saying, 
 What shall I do, because I have not 
 
 18 where to bestow my fruits? And he 
 said, This will I do : Iwillpulldownmy 
 barns, and build greater ; and there will 
 
 19 1 bestow all my corn and my goods. And 
 I will say to my 14 soul, 14 Soul, thou 
 hast much goods laid up for many years ; 
 take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.

 even that which is least, why are ye 
 
 27 anxious concerning the rest ? Consider 
 the lilies, how they grow : they toil not, 
 neither do they spin; yet I say unto 
 you, Even Solomon in all his glory was 
 
 28 not arrayed like one of these. But if 
 God doth so clothe the grass in the field, 
 which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast 
 into the oven ; how much more shall he 
 
 29 clothe you, 0 ye of little faith? And 
 seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what 
 ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful 
 
 30 mind. For all these things do the na- 
 tions of the world seek after : but your 
 Father knoweth that ye have need of 
 
 and made not ready, nor did according 
 to his will, shall be beaten with many 
 
 48 stripes ; but he that knew not, and did 
 things worthy of stripes, shall be beat- 
 en with few stripes. And to whomso- 
 ever much is given, of him shall much 
 be required : and to whom they commit 
 much, of him will they ask the more. 
 
 49 I came to cast fire upon the earth ; and 
 
 50 what will I , if it is already kindled ? But 
 I have a baptism to be baptized with ; 
 and how am I straitened till it be ac-

 there will your heart be also.

 54 And he said to the multitudes also,

 far country ; and there he wasted his 
 
 14 substance with riotous living. And 
 when he had spent all, there arose a 
 mighty famine in that country; and 
 
 15 he began to be in want. And he went 
 and joined himself to one of the citizens 
 of that country ; and he sent him into

 I am not as the rest of men, extor-

 saying, Suffer the little children to

 17 of such is the kingdom of God. Verily

 and commanded him to be brought 
 unto him : and when he was come near, 
 
 41 he asked him, What wilt thou that I 
 should do unto thee? And he said,

 John, saying, Go and make ready for us 
 
 9 the passover, that we may eat. And 
 they said unto him, Where wilt thou 
 
 10 that we make ready ? And he said un- 
 to them, Behold, when ye are entered 
 into the city, there shall meet you a 
 man bearing a pitcher of water ; follow 
 him into the house whereinto he go- 
 
 11 eth. And ye shall say unto the good- 
 man of the house, The 1 Master saith 
 unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, 
 where I shall eat the passover with my 
 
 12 disciples ? And he will shew you a large 
 upper room furnished: there make 
 
 13 ready. And they went, and found as 
 he had said unto them : and they made 
 ready the passover. 
 
 14 And when the hour was come, he sat 
 
 15 down, and the apostles with him. And 
 he said unto them, With desire I have 
 desired to eat this passover with you 
 
 16 before I suffer : for I say unto you, I will 
 not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the king- 
 
 17 dom of God. And he received a cup, and 
 when he had given thanks, he said, Take 
 this, and divide it among yourselves : 
 
 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink from 
 henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until 
 
 19 the kingdom of God shall come. And 
 he took 2 bread, and when he had given 
 thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, 
 saying, This is my body 3 which is given 
 for you : this do in remembrance of me. 
 
 20 And the cup in like manner after supper, 
 saying, This cup is the new 4 covenant 
 in my blood, even that which is poured 
 
 21 out for you. But behold, the hand of 
 him that betrayeth me is with me on 
 
 22 the table. For the Son of man indeed 
 goeth, as it hath been determined : but 
 woe unto that man through whom he is 
 
 23 betrayed ! And they began to question 
 among themselves, which of them it 
 was that should do this thing. 
 
 24 And there arose also a contention a- 
 mong them, which of them is account- 
 
 25 ed to be 5 greatest. And he said unto 
 them, The kings of the Gentiles have 
 lordship over them ; and they that have 
 authority over them are called Bene- 
 
 26 factors. But ye shall not he so : but he 
 that is the greater among you, let him 
 become as the younger; and he that 
 
 27 is chief, as he that doth serve. For 
 whether is greater, he that 6 sitteth at 
 meat, or he that serveth? is not he 
 that 6 sitteth at meat ? but I am in the 
 
 28 midst of you as he that serveth. But 
 ye are they which have continued with 
 
 29 me in my temptations; and 7 1 ap- 
 point unto you a kingdom, even as 
 
 30 my Father appointed unto me, that ye 
 may eat and drink at my table in my 
 kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones 
 judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 
 
 31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan 8 asked 
 to have you, that he might sift you as 
 
 32 wheat: but I made supplication for 
 
 thee, that thy faith fail not: and do 
 thou, when once thou hast turned a- 
 
 33 gain, stablish thy brethren. And he 
 said unto him, Lord, with thee I am 
 ready to go both to prison and to 
 
 34 death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, 
 the cock shall not crow this day, until 
 thou shalt thrice deny that thou know- 
 est me. 
 
 35 And he said unto them, When I sent 
 you forth without purse, and wallet, 
 and shoes, lacked ye anything? And 
 
 36 they said, Nothing. And he said unto 
 them, But now, he that hath a purse, 
 let him take it, and likewise a wallet : 
 9 and he that hath none, let him sell 
 
 37 his cloke, and buy a sword. For I say 
 unto you, that this which is written 
 must be fulfilled in me, And he was 
 reckoned with transgressors : for that 
 which concerneth me hath 10 fulfil - 
 
 38ment. And they said, Lord, behold, 
 here are two swords. And he said un- 
 to them, It is enough. 
 
 39 And he came out, and went, as his 
 custom was, unto the mount of Olives ; 
 and the disciples also followed him. 
 
 40 And when he was at the place, he said 
 unto them, Pray that ye enter not 
 
 41 into temptation. And he was parted 
 from them about a stone’s cast; and 
 
 42 he kneeled down and prayed, saying, 
 Father, if thou be willing, remove this 
 cup from me: nevertheless not my 
 
 43 will, but thine, be done. 11 And there 
 appeared unto him an angel from 
 
 44 heaven, strengthening him. And being 
 in an agony he prayed more earnestly : 
 and his sweat became as it were great 
 drops of blood falling down upon the 
 
 45 ground. And when he rose up from 
 his prayer, he came unto the disciples, 
 and found them sleeping for sorrow, 
 
 46 and said unto them, Why sleep ye? 
 rise and pray, that ye enter not into 
 temptation. 
 
 47 While he yet spake, behold, a multi- 
 tude, and he that was called Judas, 
 one of the twelve, went before them ; 
 and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss 
 
 48 him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, 
 betrayest thou the Son of man with 
 
 49a kiss? And when they that were 
 about him saw what would follow, 
 they said, Lord, shall we smite with 
 
 50 the sword ? And a certain one of them 
 smote the 12 servant of the high priest, 
 
 51 and struck off his right ear. But 
 Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye 
 thus far. And he touched his ear, and 
 
 52 healed him. And Jesus said unto the 
 chief priests, and captains of the 
 temple, and elders, which were come 
 against him, Are ye come out, as 
 against a robber, with swords and 
 
 53 staves? When I was daily with you 
 in the temple, ye stretched not forth 
 your hands against me: but this is 
 your hour, and the power of darkness.

 hath no

 him sell

 54 And they seized him, and led him 
 away , and brought him into the high 
 priest’s house. But Peter followed 
 
 55 afar off. And when they had kindled 
 a fire in the midst of the court, and 
 had sat down together, Peter sat in 
 
 56 the midst of them. And a certain 
 maid seeing him as he sat in the light 
 
 of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him 
 unto Herod, who himself also was at 
 Jerusalem in these days. 
 
 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was 
 exceeding glad: for he was of a long 
 time desirous to see him, because he had 
 heard concerning him ; and he hoped to 
 
 9 see some 4 miracle done by him. And 
 
 4 Gr. 
 
 
 of the fire , and looking stedfastly 
 upon him, said, This man also was 
 
 57 with him. But he denied, saying, 
 
 58 Woman, I know him not. And after 
 a little while another saw him, and 
 said, Thou also art one of them. 
 
 59 But Peter said, Man, I am not. And 
 after the space of about one hour 
 another confidently affirmed, saying, 
 Of a truth this man also was with 
 
 60 him: for he is a Galilean. But Peter 
 said, Man, I know not what thou 
 sayest. And immediately, while he 
 
 61 yet spake, the cock crew. And the 
 Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. 
 And Peter remembered the word of 
 the Lord, how that he said unto 
 him, Before the cock crow this day, 
 
 62 thou shalt deny me thrice. And he 
 went out, and wept bitterly. 
 
 63 And the men that held 1 Jesus mocked

 10 he answered him nothing. And the chief 
 priests and the scribes stood, vehe- 
 
 11 mently accusing him. And Herod with 
 his soldiers set him at nought, and 
 mocked him, and arraying him in gor- 
 geous apparel sent him back to Pilate. 
 
 12 And Herod and Pilate became friends 
 with each other that very day: for 
 before they were at enmity between 
 themselves. 
 
 13 And Pilate called together the chief 
 priests and the rulers and the people, 
 
 14 and said unto them, Ye brought unto 
 me this man, as one that perverteth the 
 people : and behold, I, having examined 
 him before you, found no fault in this 
 man touching those things whereof ye 
 
 15 accuse him : no, nor yet Herod : for he 
 sent him back unto us ; and behold, no- 
 thing worthy of death hath been done 
 
 
 
 64 him, and beat him. And they blind- 
 folded him, and asked him, saying, 
 Prophesy : who is he that struck thee ? 
 
 16 by him. I will therefore chastise him, 
 18 and release him. 5 But they cried out

 23 And the whole company of them rose 
 up, and brought him before Pilate.

 people, teaching throughout all Judaea, 
 and beginning from Galilee even unto

 he asked whether the man were a Gali-

 him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 
 
 39 And one of the malefactors which were 
 hanged railed on him, saying, Art not 
 thou the Christ? save thyself and us. 
 
 40 But the other answered, and rebuking 
 him said, Dost thou not even fear God, 
 seeing thou art in the same condemna- 
 
 41 tion? And we indeed justly; for we re- 
 ceive the due reward of our deeds : but 
 
 42 this man hath done nothing amiss. And 
 he said, Jesus, remember me when thou 
 
 43 comest 3 in thy kingdom. And he said 
 unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To- 
 day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. 
 
 44 And it was now about the sixth hour, 
 and a darkness came over the whole 
 
 45 4 land until the ninth hour, 5 the sun’s 
 light failing: and the veil of the 6 tem- 
 
 46 pie was rent in the midst. 7 And when 
 Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he 
 said, Father, into thy hands I commend 
 my spirit : and having said this, he gave 
 
 47 up the ghost. And when the centurion 
 saw what was done, he glorified God, 
 saying, Certainly this was a righteous 
 
 48 man. And all the multitudes that came 
 together to this sight, when they be- 
 held the things that were done, return- 
 
 49 ed smiting their breasts. And all his 
 acquaintance, and the women that fol- 
 lowed with him from Galilee, stood 
 afar off, seeing these things. 
 
 50 And behold, a man named Joseph, 
 who was a councillor, a good man and 
 
 51a righteous (he had not consented to 
 their counsel and deed), a man of 
 Arimatlisea, a city of the Jews, who 
 was looking for the kingdom of God: 
 
 52 this man went to Pilate, and asked 
 
 53 for the body of Jesus. And he took 
 it down, and wrapped it in a linen 
 cloth, and laid him in a tomb that 
 was hewn in stone, where never man 
 
 54 had yet lam. And it was the day 
 of the Preparation, and the sabbath 
 
 55 8 drew on. And the women, which had 
 come with him out of Galilee, fol- 
 lowed after, and beheld the tomb, and 
 
 56 how his body was laid. And they re- 
 
 turned, and prepared spices and oint- 
 ments. 
 
 And on the sabbath they rested ac- 
 
 24 cording to the commandment. But 
 on the first day of the week, at early 
 dawn, they came unto the tomb, 
 bringing the spices which they had 
 
 2 prepared. And they found the stone 
 
 3 rolled away from the tomb. And they 
 entered in, and found not the body 
 
 4 9 of the Lord Jesus. And it came to 
 pass, while they were perplexed there- 
 about, behold, two men stood by them 
 
 5 in dazzling apparel: and as they were 
 affrighted, and bowed down their 
 faces to the earth, they said unto 
 them, Why seek ye 10 the living a- 
 
 6mong the dead? 11 He is not here, 
 but is risen : remember how he spake 
 unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 
 
 7 saying that the Son of man must be 
 delivered up into the hands of sinful 
 men, and be crucified, and the third 
 
 8 day rise again. And they remembered 
 
 9 his words, and returned 12 from the 
 tomb, and told all these things to the 
 
 10 eleven, and to all the rest. Nov/ they 
 were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, 
 and Mary the mother of James: and 
 the other women with them told these 
 
 11 things unto the apostles. Aid these 
 words appeared in their sight as 
 idle talk ; and they disbelieved them. 
 
 12 13 But Peter arose, and ran unto the 
 tomb ; and stooping and looking in, he 
 seeth the linen cloths by themselves ; 
 and he 14 departed to his home, wonder- 
 ing at that which was come to pass. 
 
 13 And behold, two of them were going 
 that very day to a village named Em- 
 maus, which was threescore furlongs 
 
 14 from Jerusalem. And they communed 
 with each other of all these things 
 
 15 which had happened. And it came to 
 pass, while they communed and ques- 
 tioned together, that Jesus himself 
 
 16 drew near, and went with them. But 
 their eyes were holden that they 
 
 17 should not know him. And he said 
 unto them, 15 What communications 
 are these that ye have one with an- 
 other, as ye walk? And they stood 
 
 18 still, looking sad. And one of them, 
 named Cleopas, answering said unto 
 him, 16 Dost thou alone sojourn in Je- 
 rusalem and not know the things which 
 are come to pass there in these days ? 
 
 19 And he said unto them, What things ? 
 And they said unto him, The things con- 
 cerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a 
 prophet mighty in deed and word be- 
 
 20 fore God and all the people : and how 
 the chief priests and our rulers deliver- 
 ed him up to be condemned to death, 
 
 21 and crucified him. But we hoped that 
 it was he which should redeem Israel. 
 Yea and beside all this, it is now the 
 third day since these things came to 
 
 22 pass. Moreover certain women of our

 company amazed us, having been early 
 
 23 at the tomb ; and when they found not 
 his body, they came, saying, that they 
 had also seen a vision of angels, which 
 
 24 said that he was alive. And certain of 
 them that were with us went to the 
 tomb, and found it even so as the 
 women had said: but him they saw 
 
 25 not. And he said unto them, O foolish 
 men, and slow of heart to believe 1 in 
 
 26 all that the prophets have spoken ! Be- 
 hoved it not the Christ to suffer these 
 things, and to enter into his glory? 
 
 27 And beginning from Moses and from 
 all the prophets, he interpreted to them 
 in all the scriptures the things con- 
 
 28 cerning himself. And they drew nigh 
 unto the village, whither they were go- 
 ing : and he made as though he would 
 
 29 go further. And they constrained him, 
 saying, Abide with us : for it is toward 
 evening, and the day is now far spent. 
 And he went in to abide with them. 
 
 30 And it came to pass, when he had sat 
 down with them to meat, he took the 
 2 bread, and blessed it, and brake, and 
 
 31 gave to them. And their eyes were 
 opened, and they knew him; and he 
 
 32 vanished out of their sight. And they 
 said one to another, Was not our heart 
 burning within us, while he spake to 
 us in the way, while he opened to us 
 
 33 the scriptures ? And they rose up that 
 very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, 
 and found the eleven gathered to- 
 gether, and them that were with them, 
 
 34 saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and 
 
 35 hath appeared to Simon. And they re- 
 hearsed the things that happened in 
 the way, and how he was known of 
 them in the breaking of the bread. 
 
 36 And as they spake these things, he 
 himself stood in the midst of them, 
 8 and saith unto them, Peace he unto 
 
 37 you. But they were terrified and af- 
 frighted, and supposed that they be- 
 
 38 held a spirit. And he said unto them, 
 Why are ye troubled ? and wherefore 
 
 39 do reasonings arise in your heart ? See 
 my hands and my feet, that it is I my- 
 self : handle me, and see ; for a spirit 
 hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold 
 
 40 me having. 4 And when he had said 
 this, he shewed them his hands and his 
 
 41 feet. And while they still disbelieved 
 for joy, and wondered, he said unto 
 them, Have ye here anything to eat? 
 
 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled 
 
 43 fish 5 . And he took it, and did eat be- 
 fore them. 
 
 44 And he said unto them, These are my 
 words which I spake unto you, while 
 I was yet with you, how that all things 
 must needs be fulfilled, which are writ- 
 ten in the law of Moses, and the pro- 
 phets, and the psalms, concerning me. 
 
 45 Then opened he their mind, that they 
 
 46 might understand the scriptures ; and 
 he said unto them, Thus it is written, 
 that the Christ should suffer, and rise 
 
 47 again from the dead the third day ; and 
 that repentance 6 and remission of sins 
 should be preached in his name unto 
 all the 7 nations, beginning from Jeru- 
 
 48 salem. Ye are witnesses of these things. 
 
 49 And behold, I send forth the promise 
 of my Father upon you : but tarry ye 
 in the city, until ye be clothed with 
 power from on high. 
 
 50 And he led them out until they loere 
 over against Bethany: and he lifted 
 
 51 up his hands, and blessed them. And 
 it came to pass, while he blessed them, 
 he parted from them, 8 and was car- 
 
 52 ried up into heaven. And they 9 wor- 
 shipped him, and returned to Jerusa- 
 
 531em with great joy: and were con- 
 tinually in the temple, blessing God. 
 
 THE GOSPEL 
 
 ACCORDING TO 
 
 S. JOHN. 
 
 1 In the beginning was the Word, and 
 the Word was with God, and the Word 
 
 2 was God. The same was in the be- 
 
 3 ginning with God. All things were 
 made 1 by him ; and without him 2 was 
 not anything made that hath been 
 
 4 made. In lnm was life; and the life 
 
 5 was the light of men. And the light 
 sliineth in the darkness ; and the dark- 
 
 6 ness 3 apprehended it not. There came 
 a man, sent from God, whose name 
 
 7 was John. The same came for wit- 
 ness, that he might bear witness of the 
 light, that all might believe through 
 
 8 him. He was not the light, but came 
 that he might bear witness of the light. 
 
 9 4 There was the true light, even the 
 
 light which lighteth 5 every man, com- 
 
 lOing into the world. He was in the 
 world, and the world was made *by 
 
 11 him, and the world knew him not. He 
 came unto 6 his own, and they that were 
 
 12 his own received him not. But as many 
 as received him, to them gave he the 
 right to become children of God, even 
 to them that believe on his name: 
 
 13 which were 7 bom, not of 8 blood, nor 
 of the will of the flesh, nor of the will 
 
 14 of man, but of God. . And the Word 
 became flesh, and 9 dwelt among us 
 (and we beheld his glory, glory as 
 of 10 the only begotten from the Fa- 
 
 15 ther), full of grace and truth. John 
 beareth witness of him, and crieth,

 S. JOHN. 4. 44.

 Jesus himself testified, that a prophet 
 
 45 hath no honour in his own country. So 
 when he came into Galilee, the Gali- 
 lseans received him, having seen all 
 the things that he did in Jerusalem at 
 the feast : for they also went unto the 
 feast. 
 
 46 He came therefore again unto Cana of 
 Galilee, where he made the water wine. 
 And there was a certain 1 nobleman, 
 
 14 multitude being in the place. After- 
 ward Jesus findeth him in the temple, 
 and said unto him, Behold, thou art 
 made whole : sin no more, lest a worse 
 
 15 thing befall thee. The man went away, 
 and told the Jews that it was Jesus 
 
 16 which had made him whole. And for 
 this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, 
 because he did these things on the sab- 
 
 17 bath. But Jesus answered them, My 
 
 
 whose son was sick at Capernaum. 
 
 Father worketh even until now, and I 
 
 
 2 Or, 
 
 47 When he heard that Jesus was come 
 out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto 
 him, and besought him that he would 
 come down, and heal his son ; for he 
 
 48 was at the point of death. Jesus there- 
 fore said unto him, Except ye see signs 
 and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. 
 
 49 The 1 nobleman saith unto him, 2 Sir, 
 
 18 work. For this cause therefore the 
 Jews sought the more to kill him, be- 
 cause he not only brake the sabbath, 
 but also called God his own Father, 
 making himself equal with God. 
 
 19 Jesus therefore answered and said 
 unto them, 
 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son 
 
 
 
 50 come down ere my child die. Jesus 
 
 can do nothing of himself, but what 
 
 
 3Gr. 
 
 saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son 
 live tli. The man believed the word 
 that Jesus spake unto him, and he went 
 
 51 his way. And as he was now going 
 down, his 3 servants met him, saying, 
 
 52 that his son lived. So he inquired of 
 
 he seeth the Father doing : for what 
 things soever he doeth, these the Son 
 20 also doeth in like manner. For the 
 Father loveth the Son, and sheweth 
 him all things that himself doeth : and 
 
 
 bond- 
 
 servants. 
 
 greater works than these will he shew 
 
 
 them the hour when he began to 
 
 21 him, that ye may marvel. For as the 
 
 
 
 amend. They said therefore unto 
 him, Yesterday at the seventh hour 
 53 the fever left him. So the father 
 knew that it was at that hour in 
 which Jesus said unto him, Thy son 
 liveth: and himself believed, and his 
 
 Father raiseth the dead and quicken- 
 eth them, even so the Son also quicken- 
 
 22 eth whom he will. For neither doth 
 the Father judge any man, but he hath 
 
 23 given all judgement unto the Son; that 
 all may honour the Son, even as they

 was the lamp that burneth and shineth : 
 and ye were willing to rejoice for a 
 
 36 season in his light. But the witness 
 which I have is greater than that of 
 John : for the works which the Father 
 hath given me to accomplish, the very 
 works that I do, bear witness of me, 
 
 37 that the Father hath sent me. And 
 the Father which sent me, he hath 
 borne witness of me. Ye have neither 
 heard his voice at any time, nor seen 
 
 38 his form. And ye have not his word 
 abiding in you : for whom he sent, him 
 
 39 ye believe not. 1 Ye search the scrip- 
 tures, because ye think that in them ye 
 have eternal life; and these are they 
 
 40 which bear witness of me ; and ye will 
 not come to me, that ye may have life.

 "I know you, that ye have not the love 
 
 43 of God in yourselves. I am come in

 not : if another shall come in his own 
 
 44 name, him ye will receive. How can 
 ye believe, which receive glory one of 
 another, and the glory that cometh from 
 
 45 2 the only God ye seek not? Think 
 not that I will accuse you to the Father : 
 there is one that accuseth you, even 
 Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. 
 
 46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would 
 
 47 believe me ; for he wrote of me. But 
 if ye believe not his writings, how shall 
 ye believe my words ? 
 
 6 After these things Jesus went away 
 to the other side of the sea of Galilee, 
 
 2 which is the sea of Tiberias. And a 
 great multitude followed him, because 
 they beheld the signs which he did on 
 
 3 them that were sick. And Jesus went 
 up into the mountain, and there he sat 
 
 4 with his disciples. Now the passover, 
 the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 
 
 5 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, 
 and seeing that a great multitude 
 cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, 
 Whence are we to buy 3 bread, that 
 
 6 these may eat? And this he said to 
 prove him : for he himself knew what 
 
 7 he would do. Philip answered him, 
 Two hundred 4 pennyworth of 3 bread 
 is not sufficient for them, that every 
 
 8 one may take a little. One of his dis- 
 ciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, 
 
 9 saith unto him, There is a lad here, 
 which hath five barley loaves, and two 
 fishes : but what are these among so 
 
 10 many? Jesus said, Make the people 
 sit down. Now there was much grass 
 in the place. So the men sat down, in 
 
 11 number about five thousand. Jesus 
 therefore took the loaves ; and having 
 given thanks, he distributed to them 
 that were set down; likewise also of 
 
 12 the fishes as much as they would. And 
 when they were filled, he saith unto 
 his disciples, Gather up the broken 
 pieces which remain over, that no- 
 
 13 thing be lost. So they gathered them 
 
 up, and filled twelve baskets with 
 broken pieces from the five barley 
 loaves, which remained over unto them 
 
 14 that had eaten. When therefore the 
 people saw the 5 sign which he did, they 
 said, This is of a truth the prophet 
 that cometh into the world. 
 
 15 Jesus therefore perceiving that they 
 were about to come and take him by 
 force, to make him king, withdrew 
 again into the mountain himself alone. 
 
 16 And when evening came, his disciples 
 
 17 went down unto the sea ; and they 
 entered into a boat, and were going 
 over the sea unto Capernaum. And it 
 was now dark, and Jesus had not yet 
 
 18 come to them. And the sea was rising 
 by reason of a great wind that blew. 
 
 19 When therefore they had rowed about 
 five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they 
 behold Jesus walking on the sea, and 
 drawing nigh unto the boat : and they 
 
 20 were afraid. But he saith unto them, 
 
 21 It is I; be not afraid. They were 
 willing therefore to receive him into 
 the boat : and straightway the boat 
 was at the land whither they were 
 going. 
 
 22 On the morrow the multitude which 
 stood on the other side of the sea saw 
 that there was none other 6 boat there, 
 save one, and that Jesus entered not 
 with his disciples into the boat, but that 
 
 23 his disciples went away alone (howbeit 
 there came 7 boats from Tiberias nigh 
 unto the place where they ate the 
 bread after the Lord had given thanks) : 
 
 24 when the multitude therefore saw that 
 Jesus was not there, neither his dis- 
 ciples, they themselves got into the 
 7 boats, and came to Capernaum, seek- 
 
 25 ing Jesus. And when they found him 
 on the other side of the sea, they said 
 unto him, Rabbi, when earnest thou 
 
 26 hither ? Jesus answered them and said, 
 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek 
 me, not because ye saw signs, but 
 because ye ate of the loaves, and 
 
 27 were filled. Work not for the meat 
 which perisheth, but for the meat 
 which abideth unto eternal life, which 
 the Son of man shall give unto you : 
 for him the Father, even God, hath 
 
 28 sealed. They said therefore unto 
 him, What must we do, that we may 
 
 29 work the works of God? Jesus an- 
 swered and said unto them, This is the 
 work of God, that ye believe on him 
 
 30 whom 8 he hath sent. They said there- 
 fore unto him, What then doest thou 
 for a sign, that we may see, and be- 
 
 31 lieve thee ? what workest thou ? Our 
 fathers ate the manna in the wilder- 
 ness; as it is written, He gave them 
 
 32 bread out of heaven to eat. Jesus there- 
 fore said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
 say unto you, It was not Moses that 
 gave you the bread out of heaven ; but 
 my Father giveth you the true bread out

 5 Or, him

 38 to me I will in no wise cast out. For 
 
 disciples murmured at this, said unto 
 
 
 
 I am come down from heaven, not to 
 
 them, Doth this cause you to stum- 
 
 
 
 do mine own will, but the will of him 
 
 62 hie? What then if ye should behold 
 
 
 
 39 that sent me. And this is the will of 
 
 the Son of man ascending where 
 
 
 
 him that sent me, that of all that 
 
 63 he was before ? It is the spirit that 
 
 
 
 which he hath given me I should lose

 nothing, but should raise it up at the 
 
 thing: the words that I have spoken 
 
 
 
 40 last day. For this is the will of my 
 
 64 unto you are spirit, and are life. But 
 
 
 
 Father, that every one that beholdeth 
 
 there are some of you that believe

 Moses 
 
 hath

 among the multitudes concerning him : 
 some said, He is a good man ; others 
 said, Not so, but he leadeth the rnulti- 
 
 13 tude astray. Howbeit no man spake 
 openly of him for fear of the Jews. 
 
 14 But when it was now the midst of the 
 feast Jesus went up into the temple, 
 
 15 and taught. The Jews therefore mar- 
 velled, saying, How knowetli this man 
 
 16 letters, having never learned? Jesus 
 therefore answered them, and said, My 
 teaching is not mine, but his that sent 
 
 17 me. If any man willeth to do his will, 
 he shall know of the teaching, whether 
 it be of God, or whether I speak from 
 
 18 myself. He that speaketh from himself 
 seeketli his own glory: but he that 
 seeketh the glory of him that sent him, 
 the same is true, and no unrigliteous- 
 
 19 ness is in him. Did not Moses give 
 you the law, and yet none of you 
 doeth the law ? Why seek ye to kill me ? 
 
 20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a 
 21 1 devil : who seeketh to kill thee ? Jesus 
 
 answered and said unto them, I did 
 
 22 one work, and ye all 2 marvel. For this 
 cause hath Moses given you circumci- 
 sion (not that it is of Moses, but of the 
 fathers) ; and on the sabbath ye circum- 
 
 23 cise a man. If a man receivetli circum- 
 cision on the sabbath, that the law of 
 Moses may not be broken ; are ye wroth 
 with me, because I made a man every 
 
 24 whit whole on the sabbath ? Judge 
 not according to appearance, but judge 
 righteous judgement. 
 
 i 25 Some therefore of them of Jerusalem 
 said, Is not this he whom they seek to 
 j 26 kill ? And lo, he speaketh openly, and 
 they say nothing unto him. Can it 
 | be that the rulers indeed know that 
 ; 27 this is the Christ ? Howbeit we know 
 this man whence he is : but when the 
 Christ cometli, no one knowetli whence 
 28 he is. Jesus therefore cried in the 
 temple, teaching and saying, Ye both 
 know me, and know whence I am ; and 
 I am not come of myself, but he that 
 sent me is true, whom ye know not. 
 29 1 know him; because I am from him, 
 
 ! 30 and he sent me. They sought therefore 
 to take him : and no man laid his hand 
 on him, because his hour was not yet 
 
 31 come. But of the multitude many be- 
 lieved on him; and they said, When 
 the Christ shall come, will he do more 
 signs than those which this man hath 
 
 32 done ? The Pharisees heard the multi- 
 tude murmuring these things concern- 
 ing him ; and the chief priests and the 
 Pharisees sent officers to take him. 
 
 33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while 
 am I with you, and I go unto him that 
 
 34 sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall 
 not find me : and where I am, ye cannot 
 
 35 come. The Jews therefore said among 
 themselves, Whither will this man go 
 that we shall not find him ? will he go 
 
 unto the Dispersion 3 among the Greeks, 
 
 36 and teach the Greeks? What is this 
 word that he said, Ye shall seek me, 
 and shall not find me : and where I am, 
 ye cannot come ? 
 
 37 Now on the last day, the great day of 
 the feast, Jesus stood and cried, say- 
 ing, If any man thirst, let him come 
 
 38 unto me, and drink. He that believeth 
 on me, as the scripture hath said, out 
 of his belly shall flow rivers of living 
 
 39 water. But this spake he of the Spirit, 
 which they that believed on him were 
 to receive : 4 for the Spirit was not yet 
 given ; because Jesus was not yet glori- 
 
 40 fled. Some of the multitude therefore, 
 when they heard these words, said, 
 
 41 This is of a truth the prophet. Others 
 said, This is the Christ. But some 
 said, What, doth the Christ come out 
 
 42 of Galilee? Hath not the scripture 
 said that the Christ cometh of the seed 
 of David, and from Bethlehem, the 
 
 43 village where David was? So there 
 arose a division in the multitude be- 
 
 44 cause of him. And some of them would 
 have taken him ; but no man laid 
 hands on him. 
 
 45 The officers therefore came to the chief 
 priests and Pharisees ; and they said 
 unto them, Why did ye not bring him ? 
 
 46 The officers answered, Never man so 
 
 47 spake. The Pharisees therefore an- 
 swered them, Are ye also led astray ? 
 
 48 Platli any of the rulers believed on him, 
 
 49 or of the Pharisees ? But this multi- 
 tude which knoweth not the law are 
 
 50 accursed. Nicodemus saitli unto them 
 (he that came to him before, being one 
 
 51 of them), Doth our law judge a man, 
 except it first hear from himself and 
 
 52 know what he doeth ? They answered 
 and said unto him, Art thou also of 
 Galilee ? Search, and 5 see that out of 
 Galilee ariseth no prophet. 
 
 53 6 [And they went every man unto his 
 
 8 own house : but Jesus went unto the 
 
 2 mount of Olives. And early in the 
 morning he came again into the temple, 
 and all the people came unto him ; and 
 
 3 he sat down, and taught them. And 
 the scribes and the Pharisees bring a 
 woman taken in adultery ; and having 
 
 4 set her in the midst, they say unto him, 
 7 Master, this woman hath been taken in 
 
 5 adultery, in the very act. Now in the law 
 Moses commanded us to stone such : 
 
 6 what then sayest thou of her ? And this 
 they said, 8 tempting him, that they 
 might have whereof to accuse hhn. But 
 Jesus stooped down, and with his finger 
 
 7 wrote on the ground. But when they 
 continued asking him, he lifted up him- 
 self, and said unto them, He that is 
 without sin among you, let him first 
 
 8 cast a stone at her. And again he

 stooped down, and with his finger wrote

 heard it, went out one by one, begin-

 and Jesus was left alone, and the ’wo- 
 man, where she was, in the midst. 
 
 10 And Jesus lifted up himself, and said 
 unto her, Woman, where are they ? did 
 
 11 no man condemn thee ? And she said, 
 No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither 
 do I condemn thee : go thy way ; from 
 henceforth sin no more.] 
 
 12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto 
 them, saying, I am the light of the 
 ■world : lie that folio weth me shall not 
 walk in the darkness, but shall have the 
 
 13 light of life. The Pharisees therefore 
 said unto him, Thou bearest witness of 
 
 14 thyself; thy witness is not true. Jesus 
 
 he hath not left me alone; for I do 
 always the things that are pleasing to 
 
 30 him. As he spake these things, many 
 believed on him. 
 
 31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews 
 which had believed him, If ye abide in 
 my word, then are ye truly my disciples ; 
 
 32 and ye shall know the truth, and the 
 
 33 truth shall make you free. They an- 
 swered unto him, We be Abraham’s 
 seed, and have never yet been in bond- 
 age to any man: how sayest thou, Ye 
 
 34 shall be made free? Jesus answered 
 them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
 Every one that committeth sin is the 
 
 35 bondservant of sin. And the bondser- 
 vant abideth not in the house for ever : 
 
 36 the son abideth for ever. If therefore 
 the Son shall make you free, ye shall be 
 
 37 free indeed. I know that ye are Abra- 
 ham’s seed ; yet ye seek to kill me, be-

 Father :

 16 after the flesh ; I judge no man. Yea 
 
 him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus

 saith unto them, If ye 7 were Abraham’s

 20 would know my Father also. These 
 words spake he in the treasury, as he 
 taught in the temple : and no man took 
 
 would love me : for I came forth and 
 am come from God ; for neither have 
 43 1 come of myself, but he sent me . Why 
 do ye not 9 understand my speech? 
 
 9 Or, 
 
 
 him ; because his hour was not yet come . 
 
 21 He said therefore again unto them, I 
 go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall 
 die in your sin : whither I go, ye cannot 
 
 22 come. The Jews therefore said, Will 
 
 Even because ye cannot hear my word. 
 
 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and 
 the lusts of your father it is your will to 
 do. He was a murderer from the be-

 1 Or, that 
 
 greater than our father Abraham, which 
 is dead? and the prophets are dead: 
 54 whom makest thou thyself? Jesus 
 answered, If I glorify myself, my glory 
 is nothing : it is my Father that glori- 
 fietli me ; of whom ye say, that he is 
 55 your God; and ye have not known 
 him : hut I know him ; and if I should 
 say, I know him not, I shall he like 
 unto you, a liar : hut I know him, and 
 56 keep his word. Your father Abraham 
 rejoiced 1 to see my day; and he saw 
 
 thine eyes? And he said, He is a 
 
 18 prophet. The Jews therefore did not 
 believe concerning him, that he had 
 been blind, and had received his sight, 
 until they called the parents of him that 
 
 19 had received his sight, and asked them, 
 saying, Is this your son, who ye say 
 was born blind? how then doth he 
 
 20 now see? His parents answered and 
 said, We know that this is our son, and 
 
 21 that he was born blind: but how he 
 now seeth, we know not ; or who opened 
 
 
 he should 
 
 57 it, and was glad. The Jews therefore 
 
 his eyes, we know not : ask him ; he is 
 
 
 
 said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty 
 
 of age; he shall speak for himself. 
 22 These things said his parents, because 
 they feared the Jews : for the Jews had 
 agreed already, that if any man should 
 
 
 2 Gr. 
 
 years old, and hast thou seen Abraham ? 
 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I 
 say unto you, Before Abraham 2 was, I 
 
 
 was 
 
 59 am. They took up stones therefore to 
 
 confess him to be Christ, he should be 
 
 
 3 Or, ivas

 Q And as he passed by, he saw a man 
 
 24 So they called a second time the man

 that was blind, and said unto him, Give

 asked him, saying, Babbi, who did sin, 
 this man, or his parents, that he should 
 
 glory to God : we know that this man

 Whether he be a sinner, I know not : 
 
 
 through 
 
 did this man sin, nor his parents : but 
 that the works of God should be made

 midst 
 
 26 blind, now I see. They said therefore

 5 Or, 
 
 61 am the light of the world. When 
 he had thus spoken, he spat on the 
 ground, and made clay of the spittle, 
 
 5 and anointed his eyes with the clay, 
 
 again? would ye also become his dis- 
 
 28 ciples ? And they reviled him, and said, 
 Thou art his disciple ; but we are dis- 
 
 29 ciples of Moses. We know that God

 this man, we know not whence he is. 
 30 The man answered and said unto them,

 8 washed, and came seeing. The neigh- 
 
 Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know 
 
 
 
 bours therefore, and they which saw 
 him aforetime, that he was a beggar, 
 said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 
 
 9 Others said, It is he : others said, No, 
 but he is like him. He said, I am Tie. 
 
 10 They said therefore unto him, How 
 
 11 then were thine eyes opened? He 
 answered, The man that is called 
 Jesus made clay, and anointed mine 
 eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, 
 and wash : so I went away and washed, 
 
 12 and I received sight. And they said 
 unto him, Where is he? He saith, I 
 know not. 
 
 13 They bring to the Pharisees him 
 
 not whence he is, and yet he opened 
 
 31 mine eyes. We know that God liear- 
 eth not sinners: but if any man be 
 a worshipper of God, and do his will, 
 
 32 him he heareth. Since the world began 
 it was never heard that any one opened 
 
 33 the eyes of a man born blind. If this 
 man were not from God, he could do 
 
 34 nothing. They answered and said unto 
 him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, 
 and dost thou teach us? And they 
 cast him out. 
 
 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him 
 out; and finding him, he said, Dost 
 
 36 thou believe on 6 the Son of God ? He

 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both

 15 Again therefore the Pharisees also 
 asked him how he received his sight. 
 And he said unto them, He put clay 
 upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do 
 
 16 see. Some therefore of the Pharisees 
 said, This man is not from God, be- 
 cause he keepeth not the sabbath. But 
 others said, How can a man that is a 
 sinner do such signs ? And there was a 
 
 17 division among them. They say there- 
 fore unto the blind man again, What 
 sayest thou of him, in that he opened 
 
 seen him, and he it is that speaketh 
 
 38 with thee. And he said, Lord, I 
 
 39 believe. And he worshipped him. And 
 Jesus said, For judgement came I into 
 this world, that they which see not 
 may see ; and that they which see may 
 
 40 become blind. Those of the Pharisees 
 which were with him heard these things, 
 and said unto him, Are we also blind ? 
 
 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, 
 ye would have no sin : but now ye say, 
 We see: your sin remaineth.

 11 cause the light is not in him. These 
 things spake he : and after this he saith 
 unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen 
 asleep; but I go, that I may awake 
 
 1*2 him out of sleep. The disciples there- 
 fore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen 
 
 13 asleep, he will 1 recover. Now Jesus 
 had spoken of his death: but they 
 thought that he spake of taking rest in 
 
 14 sleep. Then Jesus therefore said unto 
 
 15 them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I 
 am glad for your sakes that I was not 
 there, to the intent ye may believe ; 
 nevertheless let us go unto him. 
 
 16 Thomas therefore, who is called 2 Didy- 
 mus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let 
 us also go, that we may die with him. 
 
 17 So when Jesus came, he found that 
 he had been in the tomb four days 
 
 18 already. Now Bethany was nigh unto 
 Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; 
 
 19 and many of the Jews had come to 
 Martha and Mary, to console them 
 
 *20 concerning their brother. Martha 
 therefore, when she heard that Jesus 
 was coming, went and met him : but 
 
 21 Mary still sat in the house. Martha 
 therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou 
 hadst been here, my brother had not 
 
 22 died. And even now I know that, 
 whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God 
 
 23 will give thee. Jesus saith unto her, 
 
 24 Thy brother shall rise again. Martha 
 saith unto him, I know that he shall 
 rise again in the resurrection at the 
 
 25 last day. Jesus said unto her, I am 
 the resurrection, and the life : he that 
 believeth on me, though he die, yet 
 
 26 shall he live : and whosoever livetli and 
 believeth on me shall never die. Be- 
 
 27 lievest thou this ? She saith unto him, 
 Yea, Lord : I have believed that thou 
 art the Christ, the Son of God, even he 
 
 28 that cometh into the world. Arid when 
 she had said this, she went away, and 
 called Mary 3 her sister secretly, saying, 
 The 4 Master is here, and calleth thee. 
 
 29 And she, when she heard it, arose 
 
 30 quickly, and went unto him. (Now 
 Jesus was not yet come into the village, 
 but was still in the place where Martha 
 
 31 met him.) The Jews then which were 
 with her in the house, and were com- 
 forting her, when they saw Mary, that 
 she rose up quickly and went out, fol- 
 lowed her, supposing that she was going 
 
 32 unto the tomb to 5 weep there. Mary 
 therefore, when she came where Jesus 
 was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, 
 saying unto him, Lord, if thou liadst 
 been here, my brother had not died. 
 
 33 When Jesus therefore saw her 6 weep- 
 ing, and the Jews also 6 weeping which 
 came with her, he 7 groaned in the spirit, 
 
 34 and 8 was troubled, and said, Where have 
 ye laid him ? They say unto him, Lord, 
 
 gg come and see. Jesus wept. The Jews 
 therefore said, Behold how he loved 
 
 37 him ! But some of them said, Could 
 
 not this man, which opened the eyes of 
 him that was blind, have caused that 
 
 38 this man also should not die ? Jesus 
 therefore again 9 groaning in himself 
 cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, 
 
 39 and a stone lay 10 against it. Jesus 
 saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, 
 the sister of him that was dead, saith 
 unto him, Lord, by this time he stink - 
 eth : for lie hath been dead four days. 
 
 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto 
 thee, that, if thou believedst, thou 
 
 41 shouldest see the glory of God ? So they 
 took away the stone. And Jesus lifted 
 up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank 
 
 42 thee that thou heardest me. And I 
 knew that thou hearest me always: 
 but because of the multitude which 
 standeth around I said it, that they 
 may believe that thou didst send me. 
 
 43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried 
 with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 
 
 44 He that was dead came forth, bound 
 hand and foot with 11 grave-clothes ; 
 and his face was bound about with a 
 napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose 
 him, and let him go. 
 
 45 Many therefore of the Jews, which 
 came to Mary and beheld 12 that which he 
 
 46 did, believed on him. But some of them 
 went away to the Pharisees, and told 
 them the things which Jesus had done. 
 
 47 The chief priests therefore and the 
 Pharisees gathered a council, and said, 
 What do we ? for this man doeth many 
 
 48 signs. If we let him thus alone, all men 
 will believe on him : and the Romans 
 will come and take away both our place 
 
 49 and our nation. But a certain one of 
 them, Caiaphas, being high priest that 
 year, said unto them, Ye know nothing 
 
 50 at all, nor do ye take account that it is 
 expedient for you that one man should 
 die for the people, and that the whole 
 
 51 nation perish not. Now this he said 
 not of himself : but being high priest 
 that year, he prophesied that Jesus 
 
 52 should die for the nation ; and not for 
 the nation only, but that he might also 
 gather together into one the children 
 
 53 of God that are scattered abroad. So 
 from that day forth they took counsel 
 that they might put him to death. 
 
 54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly 
 among the Jews, but departed thence 
 into the country near to the wilderness, 
 into a city called Ephraim ; and there he 
 
 55 tarried with the disciples. Now the 
 passover of the Jews was at hand : and 
 many went up to Jerusalem out of the 
 country before the passover, to purify 
 
 56 themselves. They sought therefore for 
 Jesus, and spake one with another, as 
 they stood in the temple, What think 
 ye ? That he will not come to the feast ? 
 
 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees 
 had given commandment, that, if any 
 man knew where he was, he should 
 shew it, that they might take him.

 most 
 
 Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son , to betray

 given all things into his hands, and that 
 
 28-doest, do quickly. Now no man at the 
 
 
 
 he came forth from God, and goeth unto

 Judas had the 10 bag, that Jesus said un-

 to him, Buy what things we have need 
 
 
 
 w r ater into the bason, and began to wash 
 
 of for the feast ; or, that he should give 
 
 
 
 the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with 
 
 30 something to the poor. He then having

 received the sop went out straightway : 
 
 
 
 he cometh to Simon Peter. He saitli un- 
 
 and it was night. 
 
 
 
 to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 
 
 31 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus 
 
 
 
 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, 
 
 saith, Now 11 is the Son of man glorified,

 saitli unto him, Thou shalt never wash

 thee not, thou hast no part with me. 
 
 Ye shall seek me : and as I said unto

 the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come ;

 34 so now I say unto you. A new com-

 4 ye may be also. LYid whither I go, ye 
 
 5 know the way. Thomas saitli unto him, 
 Lord, we know not whither thou goest ; 
 
 6 how know we the way ? Jesus saith un- 
 to him, I am the way, and the truth, and 
 the life: no one cometh unto the Father, 
 
 7 but 2 by me. If ye had known me, ye 
 would have known myFather also: from 
 henceforth ye know him, and have seen 
 
 8 him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew 
 
 9 us the Father, and it sufficeth us. J esus 
 i saith unto him, Have I been so long 
 I time with you, and dost thou not know 
 : me, Philip ? he that hath seen me hath 
 
 seen the Father; how sayest thou, Shew 
 10 us the Father? Believest thou not that 
 I am in the Father, and the Father in 
 me ? the words that I say unto you I 
 j speak not from myself : but the Father 
 11 abiding in me doeth his works. Believe 
 me that I am in the Father, and the 
 Father in me : or else believe me for the 
 ; 12 very works’ sake. Yerily, verily, I say 
 unto you, He that believetli on me, the 
 works that I do shall he do also ; and 
 greater works than these shall he do ; 
 13 because I go unto the Father. And what- 
 soever ye shall ask in my name, that 
 will I do, that the Father may be glori- 
 14fiedin the Son. If ye shall ask 3 me any - 
 
 15 thing in my name, that will I do. If ye 
 love me, ye will keep my command- 
 
 16 ments. And I will 4 pray the Father, and 
 he shall give you another 5 Comforter, 
 
 17 that he may be with you for ever, even 
 the Spirit of truth: whom the world can- 
 not receive ; for it belioldeth him not, 
 neither knoweth him : ye know him ; for 
 he abideth with you, and shall be in you. 
 
 18 1 will not leave you 6 desolate : I come 
 
 19 unto you. Yet a little while, and the 
 world belioldeth me no more ; but ye be- 
 hold me : because I live, 7 ye shall live 
 
 20 also. In that day ye shall know that I 
 am in my Father, and ye in me, and I 
 
 21 in you. He that hath my command- 
 ments, 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 unto him. 
 
 22 Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, 
 Lord, what is come to pass that thou 
 wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not 
 
 23 unto the world ? Jesus answered and 
 said unto him, If a man love me, he will 
 keep my word: and my Father will 
 love him, and we will come unto him, 
 
 24 and make our abode with him. He 
 that loveth me not keepeth not my 
 words : and the word which ye hear 
 is not mine, but the Father’s who 
 sent me. 
 
 25 These things have I spoken unto you, 
 
 26 while yet abiding with you. But the 
 5 Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom 
 the Father will send in my name, he 
 shall teach you all things, and bring to 
 your remembrance all that I said unto 
 
 27 you. Peace I leave with you ; my peace 
 
 I give unto you : not as the world giveth, 
 give I unto you. Let not your heart be 
 
 28 troubled, neither let it be fearful. Ye 
 heard how I said to you, I go away, and 
 I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye 
 would have rejoiced, because I go unto 
 the Father : for the Father is greater 
 
 29 than I. And now I have told you before 
 it come to pass, that, when it is come to 
 
 30 pass, ye may believe. I will no more 
 speak much with you, for the prince 
 of the world cometh : and he hath no- 
 
 31 thing in me ; but that the world may 
 know that I love the Father, and 
 as the Father gave me command- 
 ment, even so I do. Arise, let us go 
 hence. 
 
 151 am the true vine, and my Father is 
 
 2 the husbandman. Every branch in me 
 that beareth not fruit, he taketli it away: 
 and every branch that beareth fruit, he 
 cleanseth it, that it may bear more 
 
 3 fruit. Already ye are clean because of 
 the word which I have spoken unto you. 
 
 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the 
 branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except 
 it abide in the vine ; so neither can ye, 
 
 5 except ye abide in me. I am the vine, 
 ye are the branches % He that abideth in 
 me, and I in him, the same beareth 
 much fruit % for apart from me ye can 
 
 6 do nothing. If a man abide not in me, 
 he is cast forth as a branch, and is 
 withered; and they gather them, and 
 cast them into the fire, and they are 
 
 7 burned. If ye abide in me, and my 
 words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye 
 will, and it shall be done unto you. 
 
 8 Herein 8 is my Father glorified, 9 that 
 ye bear much fruit ; and so shall ye be 
 
 9 my disciples. Even as the Father hath 
 loved me, I also have loved you : abide 
 
 10 ye in my love. If ye keep my command- 
 ments, ye shall abide in my love ; even 
 as I have kept my Father’s command- 
 
 11 ments, and abide in his love. These 
 things have I spoken unto you, that 
 my joy may be in you, and that your 
 
 12 joy may be fulfilled. This is my com- 
 mandment, that ye love one another, 
 
 13 even as I have loved you. Greater love 
 hath no man than this, that a man lay 
 
 14 down his life for his friends. Ye are 
 my friends, if ye do the things which I 
 
 15 command you. No longer do I call you 
 10 servants ; for the 11 servant knoweth 
 not what his lord doeth : but I have call- 
 ed you friends; for all things that I 
 heard from my Father I have made 
 
 16 known unto you. Ye did not choose 
 me, but I chose you, and appointed 
 you, that ye should go and bear fruit, 
 and that your fruit should abide : that 
 whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father 
 
 17 in my name, he may give it you. These 
 things I command you, that ye may 
 
 18 love one another. If the world hateth 
 you, 12 ye know that it hath hated 
 
 19 me before it hated you. If ye were

 - Or, 
 
 to her, 2 Touch me not ; for I am not 
 
 breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: 
 
 
 Take not 
 
 yet ascended unto the Father: but 
 
 liowbeit the disciples knew not that 
 
 
 me 
 
 go unto my brethren, and say to them, 
 I ascend unto my Father and your Fa- 
 
 18 ther, and my God and your God. Mary 
 Magdalene cometh and telleth the dis- 
 ciples, I have seen the Lord ; and how 
 that he had said these things unto her. 
 
 19 When therefore it was evening, on 
 that day, the first day of the week, and 
 when the doors were shut where the 
 disciples were, for fear of the Jews, 
 Jesus came and stood in the midst, 
 and saith unto them, Peace he unto 
 
 20 you. And when he had said this, he 
 shewed unto them his hands and his 
 side. The disciples therefore were glad, 
 
 21 when they saw the Lord. Jesus there- 
 fore said to them again, Peace he 
 unto you: as the Father hath sent me, 
 
 22 even so send I you. And when he had 
 
 5 it was Jesus. Jesus therefore saith 
 unto them, Children, have ye aught to 
 
 6 eat? They answered him, No. And 
 he said unto them, Cast the net on 
 the right side of the boat, and ye shall 
 find. They cast therefore, and now 
 they were not able to draw it for the 
 
 7 multitude of fishes. That disciple there- 
 fore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, 
 It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter 
 heard that it was the Lord, he girt 
 his coat about him (for he was naked), 
 
 8 and cast himself into the sea. But 
 the other disciples came in the little 
 boat (for they were not far from the 
 land, but about two hundred cubits off), 
 
 9 dragging the net full of fishes. So 
 when they got out upon the land, they 
 
 
 
 see 6 a fire of coals there, and Tfisli 
 
 6 Gr. 
 a fire of 
 char- 
 
 
 said this, he breathed on them, and 
 
 10 laid thereon, and 8 bread. Jesus saith

 saith unto them, Receive ye the 3 Holy 
 
 unto them, Bring of the fish which ye

 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called 
 
 and three: and for all there were so 
 
 4 That is. 
 
 4 Didymus, was not with them when 
 
 12 many, the net was not rent. Jesus 
 
 
 Twin. 
 
 25 Jesus came. The other disciples there- 
 fore said unto him, We have seen the 
 Lord. But he said unto them, Except 
 I shall see in his hands the print of the

 fast. And none of the disciples durst 
 inquire of him, Who art thou? know- 
 13 ing that it was the Lord. Jesus

 cometh, and taketh the 10 bread, and 
 
 10 Or, 
 
 j 
 
 of the nails, and put my hand into his 
 side, I will not behove. 
 
 26 And after eight days again his dis- 
 ciples were within, and Thomas with 
 them. Jesus cometh, the doors being 
 shut, and stood in the midst, and said, 
 
 giveth them, and the fish likewise. 
 
 14 This is now the third time that Jesus 
 was manifested to the disciples, after 
 that he was risen from the dead. 
 
 15 So when they had broken their fast, 
 J esus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son 
 
 loaf 
 
 
 27 Peace he unto you. Then saith he to 
 
 of 11 John, 12 lovest thou me more than 
 
 11 Gr. 
 
 
 Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and 
 
 these ? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord ; 
 
 Joanes. 
 
 See 
 
 
 see my hands; and reach hither thy 
 hand, and put it into my side: and 
 
 thou knowest that I 13 love thee. He

 16 saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He

 28 be not faithless, but believing. Thomas 
 
 saith to him again a second time, Simon,

 answered and said unto him, My Lord 
 
 son of 11 John, 12 lo vest thou me? He 
 
 in these 
 places re-

 saith unto him, Yea, Lord ; thou knowest

 Because thou hast seen me, 5 thou hast

 30 Many other signs therefore did Jesus 
 in the presence of the disciples, which 
 
 31 are not written in this book : but these 
 
 third time, Simon, son of 11 J olm, 13 lovest 
 thou me ? Peter was grieved because he 
 said unto him the third time, 13 Lovest 
 thou me? And he said unto him, Lord,

 thou knowest all things; thou 14 knowest

 that believing ye may have life in his

 37 Now when they heard this , they were 
 pricked in their heart, and said unto 
 Peter and the rest of the apostles, Bre- 
 
 38 thren, what shall we do ? And Peter said 
 unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized 
 every one of you in the name of Jesus 
 Christ unto the remission of your sins ; 
 and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy 
 
 39 Ghost. For to you is the promise, and 
 to your children, and to all that are afar 
 off, even as many as the Lord our God 
 
 40 shall call unto him. And with many 
 other words he testified, and exhorted 
 them, saying, Save yourselves from this 
 
 41 crooked generation. They then 1 that 
 received his word were baptized : and 
 there were added unto them in that day 
 
 42 about three thousand souls. And they 
 continued stedfastly in the apostles’ 
 teaching and 2 fellowship, in the break- 
 ing of bread and the prayers. 
 
 43 And fear came upon every soul : and 
 many wonders and signs were done 3 by 
 
 44 the apostles 4 . And all that believed 
 were together, and had all things com- 
 
 45 mon ; and they sold their possessions 
 and goods, and parted them to all, ac- 
 
 46 cording as any man had need. And day 
 by day, continuing stedfastly with one 
 accord in the temple, and breaking bread 
 at home, they did take their food with 
 
 47 gladness and singleness of heart, prais- 
 ing God, and having favour with all the 
 people. And the Lord added 5 to them 
 day by day those that were being 
 saved. 
 
 3 Now Peter and John were going up 
 into the temple at the hour of prayer, 
 
 2 being the ninth hour . And a certain man 
 that was lame from his mother’s womb 
 was carried, whom they laid daily at the 
 door of the temple which is called Beau- 
 tiful, to ask alms of them that entered 
 
 3 into the temple ; who seeing Peter and 
 John about to go into the temple, asked 
 
 4 to receive an alms. And Peter, fasten- 
 ing his eyes upon him, with John, said, 
 
 5 Look on us. And he gave heed unto 
 them, expecting to receive something 
 
 6 from them. But Peter said, Silver and 
 gold have I none ; but what I have, that 
 give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ 
 
 7 of Nazareth, walk. And he took him 
 by the right hand, and raised him up : 
 and immediately his feet and his ankle- 
 
 8 bones received strength. And leaping 
 up, he stood, and began to walk ; and he 
 entered with them into the temple, walk- 
 ing, and leaping, and praising God. 
 
 9 And all the people saw him walking and 
 
 10 praising God : and they took knowledge 
 of him, that it was he which sat for alms 
 at the Beautiful Gate of the temple: 
 and they were filled with wonder and 
 amazement at that which had happen- 
 ed unto him. 
 
 11 And as he held Peter and John, all the 
 people ran together unto them in the 
 
 ! 6 porch that is called Solomon’s, great- 
 
 2 . 37 . 
 
 12 ly wondering. And when Peter saw 
 it, he answered unto the people, Ye 
 men of Israel, why marvel ye at this 
 7 man ? or why fasten ye your eyes on 
 us, as though by our own power or 
 godliness we had made him to walk ? 
 
 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, 
 and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, 
 hath glorified his 8 Servant Jesus ; 
 whom ye delivered up, and denied be- 
 fore the face of Pilate, when he had 
 
 14 determined to release him. But ye 
 denied the Holy and Righteous One, 
 and asked for a murderer to be grant- 
 
 15 ed unto you, and killed the 9 Prince 
 of life ; whom God raised from the 
 
 16 dead ; 10 whereof we are witnesses. And 
 
 11 by faith in his name hath his name 
 made this man strong, whom ye be- 
 hold and know: yea, the faith which 
 is through him hath given him this 
 perfect soundness in the presence of 
 
 17 you all. And now, brethren, I wot 
 that in ignorance ye did it, as did also 
 
 18 your rulers. But the things which 
 God foreshewed by the mouth of all 
 the prophets, that his Christ should 
 
 19 suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent ye 
 therefore, and turn again, that your 
 sins may be blotted out, that so there 
 may come seasons of refreshing from 
 
 20 the presence of the Lord ; and that he 
 may send the Christ who hath been 
 
 21 appointed for you, even Jesus : whom 
 the heaven must receive until the times 
 of restoration of all things, whereof 
 God spake by the mouth of his holy 
 prophets which have been since the 
 
 22 world began. Moses indeed said, A 
 prophet shall the Lord God raise up 
 unto you from among your brethren, 
 
 12 like unto me ; to him shall ye hearken 
 in all things whatsoever he shall speak 
 
 23 unto you. And it shall be, that every 
 soul, which shall not hearken to that 
 prophet, shall be utterly destroyed 
 
 24 from among the people. Yea and all 
 the prophets from Samuel and them 
 that followed after, as many as have 
 spoken, they also told of these days. 
 
 25 Ye are the sons of the prophets, and 
 of the covenant which God 13 made 
 with your fathers, saying unto Abra- 
 ham, And in thy seed shall all the 
 
 26 families of the earth be blessed. Unto 
 you first God, having raised up his 
 Servant, sent him to bless you, in 
 turning away every one of you from 
 your iniquities. 
 
 4 And as they spake unto the people, 
 14 the priests and the captain of the 
 temple and the Sadducees came upon 
 
 2 them, being sore troubled because they 
 taught the people, and proclaimed in 
 Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

 put them in ward unto the morrow:

 sight : and as he drew near to behold, 
 
 32 there came a voice of the Lord, I am the 
 God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, 
 and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses 
 
 33 trembled, and durst not behold. And 
 the Lord said unto him, Loose the 
 shoes from thy feet: for the place 
 whereon thou standest is holy ground. 
 
 341 have surely seen the affliction of 
 my people which is in Egypt, and 
 have heard their groaning, and I am 
 come down to deliver them: and now 
 come, I will send thee into Egypt. 
 
 35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, 
 Who made thee a ruler and a judge? 
 him hath God sent to be both a 
 ruler and a 1 deliverer with the hand 
 of the angel which appeared to him 
 
 36 in the bush. This man led them 
 forth, having wrought wonders and 
 signs in Egypt, and in the Eed sea, 
 and in the wilderness forty years. 
 
 37 This is that Moses, which said unto 
 the children of Israel, A prophet shall 
 God raise up unto you from among 
 
 38 your brethren, 2 like unto me. This 
 is he that was in the 3 church in the 
 wilderness with the angel which spake 
 to him in the mount Sinai, and with 
 our fathers . who received living oracles 
 
 39 to give unto us : to whom our fathers 
 would not be obedient, but thrust 
 him from them, and turned back in 
 
 40 their hearts unto Egypt, saying unto 
 Aaron, Make us gods which shall go 
 before us ; for as for this Moses, which 
 led us forth out of the land of Egypt, 
 we wot not what is become of him. 
 
 41 And they made a calf in those days, and 
 brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and 
 
 42 rejoiced in the works of their hands. But 
 God turned, and gave them up to serve 
 the host of heaven ; as it is written in 
 the book of the prophets, 
 
 Did ye offer unto me slain beasts 
 and sacrifices 
 
 Forty years in the wilderness, O 
 house of Israel ? 
 
 43 And ye took up the tabernacle of 
 
 Moloch, 
 
 And the star of the god Rephan, 
 
 The figures which ye made to worship 
 them: 
 
 And I will carry you away beyond 
 Babylon. 
 
 44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the 
 testimony in the wilderness, even as 
 he appointed who spake unto Moses, 
 
 that he should make it according to the 
 
 45 figure that he had seen. Which also our 
 fathers, in their turn, brought in with 
 4 Joshua when they entered on the pos- 
 session of the nations, which God thrust 
 out before the face of our fathers, unto 
 
 46 the days of David ; who found favour 
 in the sight of God, and asked to find a 
 
 47 habitation for the God of Jacob. But 
 
 48 Solomon built him a house. Howbeit 
 the Most High dwelleth not in houses 
 made with hands ; as saith the prophet, 
 
 49 The heaven is my throne, 
 
 And the earth the footstool of my feet : 
 
 What manner of house will ye build 
 me ? saith the Lord : 
 
 Or what is the place of my rest ? 
 
 50 Did not my hand make all these 
 
 things ? 
 
 51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in 
 heart and ears, ye do always resist the 
 Holy Ghost : as your fathers did, so do 
 
 52 ye. Which of the prophets did not your 
 fathers persecute ? and they killed them 
 which shewed before of the coming of 
 the Righteous One ; of whom ye have 
 now become betrayers and murderers ; 
 
 53 ye who received the law 5 as it was or- 
 dained by angels, and kept it not. 
 
 54 Now when they heard these things, 
 they were cut to the heart, and they 
 
 55 gnashed on him with their teeth. But 
 he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked 
 up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the 
 glory of God, and Jesus standing on 
 
 56 the right hand of God, and said, Behold, 
 I see the heavens opened, and the Son 
 of man standing on the right hand of 
 
 57 God. But they cried out with a loud 
 voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed 
 
 58 upon him with one accord ; and they 
 cast him out of the city, and stoned 
 him : and the witnesses laid down their 
 garments at the feet of a young man 
 
 59 named Saul. And they stoned Stephen, 
 calling upon the Lord , and saying, 
 
 60 Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he 
 kneeled down, and cried with a loud 
 voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their 
 charge. And when he had said this, he 
 
 3 fell asleep. And Saul was consenting 
 unto his death. 
 
 And there arose on that day a great 
 persecution against the church which 
 was in Jerusalem; and they were all 
 scattered abroadthroughout the regions 
 of Judaea and Samaria, except the apo- 
 
 2 sties. And devout men buried Stephen, 
 and made great lamentation over him. 
 
 3 But Saul laid waste the church, enter- 
 ing into every house, and haling men 
 and women committed them tc prison. 
 
 4 They therefore that were scatter- 
 ed abroad went about preaching 
 
 5 the word. And Philip went down 
 to the city of Samaria, and proclaim- 
 
 6ed unto them the Christ. And the 
 multitudes gave heed with one ac- 
 cord unto the things that were spoken

 by Philip, when they heard, and saw 
 
 7 the signs which he did. 1 For from many 
 of those which had unclean spirits, they 
 came out, crying with a loud voice: 
 and many that were palsied, and that 
 
 8 were lame, were healed. And there 
 was much joy in that city. 
 
 9 But there was a certain man, Simon 
 by name, which beforetime in the city 
 used sorcery, and amazed the 2 people 
 of Samaria, giving out that himself was 
 
 10 some great one : to whom they all gave 
 heed, from the least to the greatest, 
 saying, This man is that power of God 
 
 11 which is called Great. And they gave 
 heed to him, because that of long time 
 he had amazed them with his sorceries. 
 
 12 But when theybelieved Philip preaching 
 good tidings concerning the kingdom 
 of God and the name of Jesus Christ, 
 they were baptized, both men and wo- 
 
 13 men. And Simon also himself believed ; 
 and being baptized, he continued with 
 Philip ; and beholding signs and great 
 3 miracles wrought, he was amazed. 
 
 14 Now when the apostles wiiich were at 
 Jerusalem heard that Samaria had re- 
 ceived the word of God, they sent unto 
 
 15 them Peter and John: who, when they 
 were come down, prayed for them, that 
 
 16 they might receive the Holy Ghost : for 
 as yet he was fallen upon none of them : 
 only they had been baptized into the 
 
 17 name of the Lord Jesus. Then laid 
 they their hands on them, and they re- 
 
 18 ceived the Holy Ghost. Now when 
 Simon saw that through the laying on 
 of the apostles’ hands the 4 Holy Ghost 
 
 19 was given, he offered them money, say- 
 ing, Give me also this power, that on 
 whomsoever I lay my hands, he may re- 
 
 20 ceive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said 
 unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, 
 because thou hast thought to obtain the 
 
 21 gift of God with money. Thou hast 
 neither part nor lot in this 5 matter : for 
 
 22 thy heart is not right before God. Re- 
 pent therefore of this thy wickedness, 
 and pray the Lord, if perhaps the 
 thought of thy heart shall be forgiven 
 
 23 thee. For I see that thou 6 art in the 
 gall of bitterness and in the bond of 
 
 24 iniquity. And Simon answered and 
 said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that 
 none of the things which ye have 
 spoken come upon me. 
 
 25 They therefore, when they had testified 
 and spoken the word of the Lord, return- 
 ed to Jerusalem, and preached the gos- 
 pel to many villages of the Samaritans. 
 
 26 But an angel of the Lord spake unto 
 Philip, saying, Arise, and go 7 toward 
 the south unto the way that goeth 
 down from Jerusalem unto Gaza : the 
 
 27 same is desert. And he arose and 
 went : and behold, a man of Ethiopia, 
 a eunuch of great authority under 
 Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, 
 who was over all her treasure, who 
 
 had come to Jerusalem for to wor- 
 
 28 ship ; and he was returning and sitting 
 in his chariot, and was reading the 
 
 29 prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said 
 unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself 
 
 30 to this chariot. And Philip ran to him, 
 and heard him reading Isaiah the 
 prophet, and said, Understandest thou 
 
 31 what thou readest ? And he said, How 
 can I, except some one shall guide me ? 
 And he besought Philip to come up 
 
 32 and sit with him. Now the place of the 
 scripture which he was reading was 
 this, 
 
 He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; 
 
 And as a lamb before his shearer is 
 dumb, 
 
 So he openeth not his mouth : 
 
 33 In his humiliation his judgement 
 
 was taken away ; 
 
 His generation who shall declare? 
 
 For his life is taken from the earth. 
 
 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and 
 said, I pray thee, of whom speaketk 
 the prophet this? of himself, or of 
 
 35 some other? And Philip opened his 
 mouth, and beginning from this 
 scripture, preached unto him Jesus. 
 
 36 And as they went on the way, they 
 came unto a certain water; and the 
 eunuch saith, Behold, here is water; 
 what doth hinder me to be baptized ? 8 
 
 38 And he commanded the chariot to 
 stand still: and they both went down 
 into the water, both Philip and the 
 
 39 eunuch; and he baptized him. And 
 when they came up out of the 
 water, the Spirit of the Lord caught 
 away Philip; and the eunuch saw 
 him no more, for he went on his 
 
 40 way rejoicing. But Philip was found at 
 Azotus : and passing through he preach- 
 ed the gospel to all the cities, till he 
 came to Caesarea. 
 
 9 But Saul, yet breathing threatening 
 and slaughter against the disciples of 
 the Lord, went unto the high priest, 
 
 2 and asked of him letters to Damascus 
 unto the synagogues, that if he found 
 any that were of the Way, whether 
 men or women, he might bring them 
 
 3 bound to Jerusalem. And as he journey- 
 ed, it came to pass that he drew nigh 
 unto Damascus: and suddenly there 
 shone round about him a light out 
 
 4 of heaven : and he fell upon the earth, 
 and heard a voice saying unto him, 
 Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me ? 
 
 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? 
 And he said , I am Jesus whom thou 
 
 6 persecutest : but rise, and enter 
 into the city, and it shall be 
 
 7 told thee what thou must do. And 
 
 the men that journeyed with 
 
 him stood speechless, hearing the 
 
 8 9 voice, but beholding no man. And 
 Saul arose from the earth ; and when 
 his eyes were opened, he saw 
 nothing; and they led him by the

 hand, and brought him into Damascus. 
 
 9 And he was three days without sight, 
 and did neither eat nor drink. 
 
 10 Now there was a certain disciple at 
 Damascus, named Ananias; and the 
 Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. 
 And he said, Behold, I am here , Lord. 
 
 11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and 
 go to the street which is called Straight, 
 and inquire in the house of Judas for 
 one named Saul, a man of Tarsus : for 
 
 12 behold, he prayeth ; and he hath seen 
 a man named Ananias coming in, and 
 laying his hands on him, that he 
 
 13 might receive his sight. But Ananias 
 answered, Lord, I have heard from 
 many of this man, how much evil he 
 
 14 did to thy saints at Jerusalem : and here 
 he hath authority from the chief priests 
 to hind all that call upon thy name. 
 
 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy 
 way: for he is a 1 chosen vessel unto 
 me, to bear my name before the Gen- 
 tiles and kings, and the children of 
 
 16 Israel : for I will shew him how many 
 things he must suffer for my name’s 
 
 17 sake. And Ananias departed, and enter- 
 ed into the house ; and laying his hands 
 on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, 
 even Jesus, who appeared unto thee in 
 the way which thou earnest, hath sent 
 me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, 
 
 18 and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And 
 straightway there fell from his eyes as 
 it w T ere scales, and he received his sight ; 
 
 19 and he arose and was baptized ; and he 
 took food and was strengthened. 
 
 And he was certain days with the 
 
 20 disciples which were at Damascus. And 
 straightway in the synagogues he pro- 
 claimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God. 
 
 21 And all that heard him were amazed, 
 and said, Is not this he that in Jeru- 
 salem made havock of them which call- 
 ed on this name? and he had come 
 hither for this intent, that he might 
 bring them bound before the chief 
 
 22 priests. But Saul increased the more in 
 strength, and confounded the Jews 
 which dwelt at Damascus, proving that 
 this is the Christ. 
 
 23 And when many days were fulfilled, 
 the Jews took counsel together to kill 
 
 24 him : but their plot became known to 
 Saul. And they watched the gates also 
 day and night that they might kill him : 
 
 25 but his disciples took him by night, and 
 let him down through the wall, lower- 
 ing him in a basket. 
 
 26 And when he was come to Jerusalem, 
 he assayed to join himself to the dis- 
 ciples : and they were all afraid of him, 
 not believing that he was a disciple. 
 
 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought 
 him to the apostles, and declared unto 
 them how he had seen the Lord in 
 the way, and that he had spoken to 
 him, and how at Damascus he had 
 preached boldly in the name of Jesus. 
 
 28 And he was with them going in and 
 
 29 going out at Jerusalem, preaching 
 boldly in the name of the Lord : and 
 he spake and disputed against the 
 2 Grecian Jews; but they went about 
 
 30 to kill him. And when the brethren 
 knew it, they brought him down to 
 Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 
 
 31 So the church throughout all Judaea 
 and Galilee and Samaria had peace, 
 being 3 edified; and, walking 4 in the 
 fear of the Lord and 4 in the comfort 
 of the Holy Ghost, was multiplied. 
 
 32 And it came to pass, as Peter went 
 throughout all parts, he came down also 
 to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. 
 
 33 And there he found a certain man 
 named iEneas, which had kept his 
 bed eight years; for he was palsied. 
 
 34 And Peter said unto him, iEneas, Jesus 
 Christ healeth thee : arise, and make thy 
 
 35 bed. And straightway he arose. AndaU 
 that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw 
 him, and they turned to the Lord. 
 
 36 Now there was at Joppa a certain 
 disciple named Tabitlia, which by in- 
 terpretation is called 5 Dorcas: this 
 woman was full of good works and 
 
 37 almsdeeds which she did. And it 
 came to pass in those days, that she 
 fell sick, and died: and when they 
 had washed her, they laid her in an 
 
 38 upper chamber. And as Lydda was 
 nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing 
 that Peter was there, sent two men 
 unto him, intreating him, Delay not to 
 
 39 come on unto us. And Peter arose 
 and went with them. And when he 
 was come, they brought him into the 
 upper chamber: and all the widows 
 stood by him weeping, and shewing 
 the coats and garments which 
 Dorcas made, while she was with 
 
 40 them. But Peter put them all forth, 
 and kneeled down, and prayed; and 
 turning to the body, he said, Tabitlia, 
 arise. And she opened her eyes; 
 and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 
 
 41 And he gave her his hand, and raised 
 her up; and calling the saints and 
 widows, he presented her alive. 
 
 42 And it became known throughout all 
 J oppa : and many believed on the Lord . 
 
 43 And it came to pass, that he abode many 
 days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner. 
 
 10 Now there was a certain man in 
 Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centu- 
 rion of the band called the Italian 
 
 2 6 band, a devout man, and one that fear- 
 ed God with all his house, who gave 
 much alms to the people, and prayed to 
 
 3 God alway. He saw in a vision openly, as 
 it were about the ninth hour of the day, 
 an angel of God coming in unto him, 
 
 4 and saying to him, Cornelius. And he, 
 fastening his eyes upon him, and be- 
 ing affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? 
 And he said unto him, Thy prayers 
 and thine alms are gone up for a

 and passed on through one street ; and 
 straightway the angel departed from 
 
 11 him. And when Peter was come to 
 himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, 
 that the Lord hath sent forth his angel 
 and delivered me out of the hand of 
 Herod, and from all the expectation of 
 
 12 the people of the Jews. And when he 
 had considered the thing , he came to 
 the house of Mary the mother of John 
 whose surname was Mark ; where many 
 were gathered together and were pray- 
 
 13 ing. And when he knocked at the door 
 of the gate, a maid came to answer, 
 
 14 named Bhoda. And when she knew 
 Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate 
 for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter 
 
 15 stood before the gate. And they said 
 unto her, Thou art mad. But she con- 
 fidently affirmed that it was even so. 
 
 16 And they said, It is his angel. But Peter 
 continued knocking: and when they 
 had opened, they saw him, and were 
 
 17 amazed. But he, beckoning unto them 
 with the hand to hold their peace, de- 
 clared unto them how the Lord had 
 brought him forth out of the prison. 
 And he said, Tell these things unto 
 James, and to the brethren. And he de- 
 
 18 parted, and went to another place. Now 
 as soon as it was day, there was no 
 small stir among the soldiers, what was 
 
 19 become of Peter. And when Herod 
 had sought for him, and found him not, 
 he examined the guards, and command- 
 ed that they should be 4 put to death. 
 And he went down from Judaea to Cae- 
 sarea, and tarried there. 
 
 20 Now he was highly displeased with 
 them of Tyre and Sidon : and they came 
 with one accord to him, and, having 
 made Blastus the king’s chamberlain 
 their friend, they asked for peace, be- 
 cause their country was fed from the 
 
 21 king’s country. And upon a set day 
 Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, 
 and sat on the 2 throne, and made an 
 
 22 oration unto them. And the people 
 shouted, saying , The voice of a god, and 
 
 23 not of a man. And immediately an 
 angel of the Lord smote him, because 
 he gave not God the glory : and he was 
 eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. 
 
 24 But the word of God grew and multi- 
 plied. 
 
 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned 
 3 from Jerusalem, when they had fulfil- 
 led their ministration, taking with them 
 John whose surname was Mark. 
 
 13 Now there were at Antioch, in the 
 church that was there , prophets and 
 teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that 
 was called Niger, and Lucius of Gyrene, 
 and Manaen the foster- brother of Herod 
 2 the tetrarch, and Saul. And as they 
 ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the 
 Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barna- 
 bas and Saul for the work whereunto 
 3 1 have called them. Then, when they 
 
 had fasted and prayed and laid their 
 hands on them, they sent them away. 
 
 4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy 
 Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and 
 from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 
 
 5 And when they were at Salamis, they 
 proclaimed the word of God in the 
 synagogues of the Jews : and they had 
 
 6 also John as their attendant. And 
 when they had gone through the whole 
 island unto Paphos, they found a cer- 
 tain 4 sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, 
 
 7 whose name was Bar- Jesus ; which was 
 with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a 
 man of understanding. The same call- 
 ed unto him Barnabas and Saul, and 
 
 8 sought to hear the word of God. But 
 Elymas the 4 sorcerer (for so is his 
 name by interpretation) withstood 
 them, seeking to turn aside the pro- 
 
 9 consul from the faith. But Saul, who 
 is also called Paul, filled with the Holy 
 
 10 Ghost, fastened his eyes on him, and 
 said, O full of all guile and all villany, 
 thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all 
 righteousness, wilt thou not cease to 
 pervert the right ways of the Lord? 
 
 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord 
 is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, 
 not seeing the sun 5 for a season. And 
 immediately there fell on him a mist 
 and a darkness; and he went about 
 seeking some to lead him by the hand. 
 
 12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what 
 was done, believed, being astonished at 
 the teaching of the Lord. 
 
 13 Now Paul and his company set sail 
 from Paphos, and came to Perga in 
 Pamphylia: and John departed from 
 
 14 them and returned to Jerusalem. But 
 they, passing through from Perga, 
 came to Antioch of Pisidia ; and they 
 went into the synagogue on the sab- 
 
 15 bath day, and sat down. And after the 
 reading of the law and the prophets 
 the rulers of the synagogue sent unto 
 them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any 
 word of exhortation for the people, say 
 
 16 on. And Paul stood up, and beckoning 
 with the hand said, 
 
 Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, 
 
 17 hearken. The God of this people Israel 
 chose our fathers, and exalted the peo- 
 ple when they sojourned in the land of 
 Egypt, and with a high arm led he 
 
 18 them forth out of it. And for about 
 the time of forty years 6 suffered he 
 
 19 their manners in the wilderness. And 
 when he had destroyed seven nations 
 in the land of Canaan, he gave them 
 their land for an inheritance, for 
 about four hundred and fifty years: 
 
 20 and after these things he gave them 
 judges until Samuel the prophet. 
 
 21 And afterward they asked for a 
 king: and God gave unto them Saul 
 the son of Kish, a man of the 
 tribe of Benjamin, for the space of 
 
 22 forty years. And when he had re-

 THE ACTS. 
 
 101 
 
 Paul had done, they lifted up their 
 voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, 
 The gods are come down to us in the 
 
 12 likeness of men. And they called Bar- 
 nabas, 1 Jupiter; and Paul, 2 Mercury, 
 because he was the chief speaker. 
 
 13 And the priest of 1 Jupiter whose 
 temple was before the city, brought 
 oxen and garlands unto the gates, and 
 would have done sacrifice with the 
 
 14 multitudes. But when the apostles, 
 Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they 
 rent their garments, and sprang forth 
 
 15 among the multitude, crying out and 
 saying, Sirs, why do ye these things ? 
 We also are men of like 3 passions with 
 you, and bring you good tidings, that 
 ye should turn from these vain things 
 unto the living God, who made the 
 heaven and the earth and the sea, and 
 
 16 all that in them is : who in the genera- 
 tions gone by suffered all the nations 
 
 17 to walk in their own ways. And yet he 
 left not himself without witness, in 
 that he did good, and gave you from 
 heaven rains and fruitful seasons, 
 filling your hearts with food and glad- 
 
 18 ness. And with these sayings scarce 
 restrained they the multitudes from 
 doing sacrifice unto them. 
 
 19 But there came Jews thither from 
 Antioch and Iconium : and having per- 
 suaded the multitudes, they stoned 
 Paul, and dragged him out of the city, 
 
 20 supposing that lie was dead. But as the 
 disciples stood round about him, he rose 
 up, and entered into the city : and on 
 the morrow he went forth with Bar- 
 
 21 nabas to Derbe. And when they had 
 preached the gospel to that city, and 
 had made many disciples, they returned 
 to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to 
 
 22 Antioch, confirming the souls of the 
 disciples,* exhorting them to continue 
 in the faith, and that through many 
 tribulations we must enter into the 
 
 23 kingdom of God. And when they had 
 appointed for them elders in every 
 church, and had prayed with fasting, 
 they commended them to the Lord, 
 
 24 on whom they had believed. And 
 they passed through Pisidia, and came 
 
 25 to Painphylia. And when they had 
 spoken the word in Perga, they went 
 
 26 down to Attalia; and thence they 
 sailed to Antioch, from whence they 
 had been committed to the grace of 
 God for the work which they had 
 
 27 fulfilled. And when they were come, 
 and had gathered the church together, 
 
 ! they rehearsed all things that God 
 had done with them, and how that he 
 had opened a door of faith unto the 
 
 28 Gentiles. And they tarried no little 
 time with the disciples. 
 
 15 And certain men came down from 
 Judsea and taught the brethren, saying, 
 Except ye be circumcised after the 
 custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 
 
 2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no 
 small dissension and questioning with 
 them, the brethren appointed that Paul 
 and Barnabas, and certain other of 
 them, should go up to Jerusalem unto 
 the apostles and elders about this ques- 
 
 3tion. They therefore, being brought 
 on their way by the church, passed 
 through both Phoenicia and Samaria, 
 declaring the conversion of the Gen- 
 tiles : and they caused great joy unto 
 
 4 all the brethren. And when they were 
 come to Jerusalem, they were received 
 of the church and the apostles and the 
 elders, and they rehearsed all things 
 
 5 that God had done with them. But 
 there rose up certain of the sect of the 
 Pharisees who believed, saying, It is 
 needful to circumcise them, and to 
 charge them to keep the law of Moses. 
 
 6 And the apostles and the elders were 
 gathered together to consider of this 
 
 7 matter. And when there had been 
 much questioning, Peter rose up, and 
 said unto them, 
 
 Brethren, ye know how that 4 a good 
 while ago God made choice among you, 
 that by my mouth the Gentiles should 
 hear the word of the gospel, and be- 
 
 8lieve. And God, which knowetli the 
 heart, bare them witness, giving them 
 the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto 
 
 9 us ; and he made no distinction between 
 us and them, cleansing their hearts by 
 
 10 faith. Now therefore why tempt ye 
 God, that ye should put a yoke upon 
 the neck of the disciples, which neither 
 our fathers nor we were able to bear ? 
 
 11 But we believe that we shall be saved 
 through the grace of the Lord Jesus, 
 in like manner as they. 
 
 12 And all the multitude kept silence; 
 and they hearkened unto Barnabas and 
 Paul rehearsingwhat signs and wonders 
 God had wrought among the Gentiles 
 
 13 by them. And after they had held 
 their peace, James answered, saying, 
 
 14 Brethren, hearken unto me : Symeon 
 hath rehearsed how first God did visit 
 the Gentiles, to take out of them a 
 
 15 people for his name. And to this agree 
 the words of the prophets; as it is 
 written, 
 
 16 After these things I will return, 
 
 And I will build again the tabernacle 
 
 of David, which is fallen ; 
 
 And I will build again the ruins 
 thereof, 
 
 And I will set it up : 
 
 17 That the residue of men may seek 
 
 after the Lord, 
 
 And all the Gentiles, upon whom my 
 name is called, 
 
 18 Saith the Lord, 5 who maketh these 
 
 things known from the beginning 
 of the world. 
 
 19 Wherefore my judgement is, that 
 we trouble not them which from 
 among the Gentiles turn to God;

 But it 
 seemed 
 good 
 unto 
 Silas to 
 abide 
 there 
 
 20 but that we 1 write unto them, that | 
 they abstain from the pollutions of j 
 idols, and from fornication, and from 
 
 21 what is strangled, and from blood. For 
 Moses from generations of old hath in 
 every city them that preach him, being 
 read in the synagogues every sabbath. 
 
 22 Then it seemed good to the apostles 
 and the elders, with the whole church, 
 to choose men out of their company, 
 and send them to Antioch with Paul 
 and Barnabas ; namely , Judas called 
 Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among 
 
 23 the brethren : and they wrote thus by 
 them, The apostles and the elder bre- 
 thren unto the brethren which are of 
 the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and 
 
 24 Cilicia, greeting: Forasmuch as we 
 have heard that certain 2 which went 
 out from us have troubled you with 
 words, subverting your souls ; to whom 
 
 25 we gave no commandment ; it seemed 
 good unto us, having come to one 
 accord, to choose out men and send 
 them unto you with our beloved Barna- 
 
 26 bas and Paul, men that have hazarded 
 their lives for the name of our Lord 
 
 27 Jesus Christ. We have sent therefore 
 Judas and Silas, who themselves also 
 shall tell you the same things by word 
 
 28 of mouth. For it seemed good to the 
 Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you 
 no greater burden than these necessary 
 
 29 things; that ye abstain from things 
 sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and 
 from things strangled, and from forni- 
 cation; from which if ye keep your- 
 selves, it shall be well with you. Fare 
 ye well. 
 
 30 So they, when they were dismissed, 
 came down to Antioch; and having 
 gathered the multitude together, they 
 
 31 delivered the epistle. And when they 
 had read it, they rejoiced for the 3 con- 
 
 32 solation. And Judas and Silas, being 
 themselves also prophets, 4 exhorted 
 the brethren with many words, and 
 
 33 confirmed them. And after they had 
 spent some time there , they were dis- 
 missed in peace from the brethren unto 
 
 35 those that had sent them forth. 5 But 
 Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, 
 teaching and preaching the word of 
 the Lord, with many others also. 
 
 36 And after some days Paul said unto 
 Barnabas, Let us return now and visit 
 the brethren in every city wherein 
 we proclaimed the word of the Lord, 
 
 37 and see how they fare. And Barnabas 
 was minded to take with them John 
 
 38 also, who was called Mark. But Paul 
 thought not good to take with them 
 him who withdrew from them from 
 Pamphylia, and went not with them 
 
 39 to the work. And there arose a sharp 
 contention, so that they parted asunder 
 one from the other, and Barnabas 
 took Mark with him, and sailed away 
 
 40 unto Cyprus; but Paul chose Silas, 
 
 and went forth, being commended by 
 the brethren to the grace of the Lord. 
 
 41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, 
 confirming the churches. 
 
 16 And he came also to Derbe and to 
 Lystra : and behold, a certain disciple 
 was there, named Timothy, the son 
 of a Jewess which believed; but his 
 
 2 father was a Greek. The same was 
 well reported of by the brethren that 
 
 3 were at Lystra and Iconium. Him 
 would Paul have to go forth with him ; 
 and he took and circumcised him be- 
 cause of the Jews that were in those | 
 parts : for they all knew that his father 
 
 4 was a Greek. And as they went on 
 their way through the cities, they 
 delivered them the decrees for to keep, 
 which had been ordained of the apostles 
 
 5 and elders that were at Jerusalem. So 
 the churches were strengthened in the 
 faith, and increased in number daily. 
 
 6 And they went through the region 
 of Phrygia and Galatia, having been 
 forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak 
 
 7 the word in Asia ; and when they were 
 come over against Mysia, they assayed 
 to go into Bithynia ; and the Spirit of 
 
 8 Jesus suffered them not ; and passing 
 by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 
 
 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the 
 night ; There was a man of Macedonia 
 standing, beseeching him, and saying, 
 Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 
 
 10 And when -lie had seen the vision, 
 straightway we sought to go forth into 
 Macedonia, concluding that God had 
 called us for to preach the gospel unto 
 them. 
 
 11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we 
 made a straight course to Samothrace, 
 
 12 and the day following to Neapolis ; and 
 from thence to Philippi, which is a city 
 of Macedonia, the first of the district, 
 a Roman colony : and we were in this 
 
 13 city tarrying certain days. And on the 
 sabbath day we went forth without the 
 gate by a river side, where we supposed 
 there was a place of prayer; and we 
 sat down, and spake unto the women 
 
 14 which were come together. And a 
 certain woman named Lydia, a seller 
 of purple, of the city of Tliyatira, one 
 that worshipped God, heard us : whose 
 heart the Lord opened, to give heed 
 unto the things which were spoken by 
 
 15 Paul. And when she was baptized, and 
 her household, she besought us, saying, 
 If ye have judged me to be faithful to 
 the Lord, come into my house, and 
 abide there. And she constrained us. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, as we were 
 going to the place of prayer, that a 
 certain maid having 6 a spirit of 
 divination met us, which brought 
 her masters much gain by sootli- 
 
 17 saying. The same following after 
 Paul and us cried out, saying, These 
 men are 7 servants of the Most High 
 
 6 Gr. a 
 spirit, a 
 Python. 
 
 7 Gr. 
 bond- 
 servants.

 Aquila heard him, they took him unto

 believed came, confessing, and declar- 
 
 
 
 was minded to pass over into Achaia, 
 
 19 ing their deeds. And not a few of them 
 
 
 
 the brethren encouraged him, and wrote 
 
 that practised 8 curious arts brought

 their books together, and burned them

 Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had

 passed through Macedonia and Achaia,

 29 Epliesians. And tlie city was filled 
 with the confusion : and they rushed 
 with one accord into the theatre, hav- 
 ing seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men 
 of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in 
 
 30 travel. And when Paul was minded to 
 enter in unto the people, the disteiples 
 
 31 suffered him not. And certain also of 
 the 1 chief officers of Asia, being his 
 friends, sent unto him, and besought 
 him not to adventure himself into the 
 
 32 theatre. Some therefore cried one 
 thing, and some another: for the as- 
 sembly was in confusion ; and the more 
 part knew not wherefore they were 
 
 33 come together. 2 And they brought 
 Alexander out of the multitude, the 
 Jews putting him forward. And Alex- 
 ander beckoned with the hand, and 
 would have made a defence unto the 
 
 34 people. But when they perceived that 
 lie was a Jew, all with one voice about 
 the space of two hours cried out, Great 
 
 35 is 3 Diana of the Ephesians. And when 
 the townclerk had quieted the multi- 
 tude, he saitli, Ye men of Ephesus, what 
 man is there who knowetli not how that 
 the city of the Ephesians is temple- 
 keeper of the great 3 Diana, and of the 
 image which fell down from 4 Jupiter? 
 
 36 Seeing then that these things cannot be 
 gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to 
 
 37 do nothing rash. For ye have brought 
 hither these men, which are neither rob- 
 bers of temples nor blasphemers of our 
 
 38 goddess. If therefore Demetrius, and 
 the craftsmen that are with him, have 
 a matter against any man, 5 the courts 
 are open, and there are proconsuls : let 
 
 39 them accuse one another. But if ye 
 seek anything about other matters, it 
 shall be settled in the regular assembly. 
 
 40 For indeed w,e are in danger to be 6 ac- 
 cused concerning this day’s riot, there 
 being no cause for it : and as touching 
 it we shall not be able to give account 
 
 41 of this concourse. And when he had 
 thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. 
 
 20 And after the uproar was ceased, 
 Paul having sent for the disciples and 
 exhorted them, took leave of them, and 
 
 2 departed for to go into Macedonia. And 
 when he had gone through those parts, 
 and had given them much exhortation, 
 
 3 he came into Greece. And when he 
 had spent three months there , and a 
 plot was laid against him by the Jews, 
 as he was about to set sail for Syria, he 
 determined to return through Mace- 
 
 4donia. And there accompanied him 
 7 as far as Asia Sopater of Bercea, the 
 son of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalo- 
 nians, Aristarchus and Secundus ; and 
 Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy ; and of 
 
 5 Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. But 
 these 8 had gone before, and were wait- 
 
 6 ing for us at Troas. And we sailed away 
 from Philippi after the days of un- 
 leavened bread, and came unto them to 
 
 Troas in five days ; where we tarried 
 seven days. 
 
 7 And upon the first day of the week, 
 when we were gathered together to 
 break bread, Paul discoursed with them, 
 intending to depart on the morrow; and 
 prolonged his speech until midnight. 
 
 8 And there were many lights in the 
 upper chamber , where we were gathered 
 
 9 together. And there sat in the window 
 a certain young man named Eutychus, 
 borne down with deep sleep; and as 
 Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne 
 down by his sleep he fell down from the 
 third story, and was taken up dead. 
 
 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, 
 and embracing him said, Make ye no 
 
 11 ado; for his life is in him. And when he 
 was gone up, and had broken the bread, 
 and eaten, and had talked with them a 
 long while, even till break of day, so 
 
 12 he departed. And they brought the lad 
 alive, and were not a little comforted. 
 
 13 But we, going before to the ship, set 
 sail for Assos, there intending to take 
 in Paul : for so had he appointed, in- 
 
 14 tending himself to go 9 by land. And 
 when he met us at Assos, we took him 
 
 15 in, and came to Mitylene. And sailing 
 from thence, we came the following day 
 over against Chios ; and the next day we 
 touched at Samos ; and 10 the day after 
 
 16 we came to Miletus. For Paul had de- 
 termined to sail past Ephesus, that he 
 might not have to spend time in Asia ; 
 for he was hastening, if it were possible 
 for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of 
 Pentecost. 
 
 17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, 
 and called to him the 11 elders of the 
 
 18 church. And when they were come to 
 him, he said unto them, 
 
 Ye yourselves know, from the first day 
 that I set foot in Asia, after what man- 
 
 19 ner I was with you all the time, serv- 
 ing the Lord with all lowliness of mind, 
 and with tears, and with trials which 
 
 20 befell me by the plots of the Jews : how 
 that I shrank not from declaring unto 
 you anything that was profitable, and 
 teaching you publicly, and from house 
 
 21 to house, testifying both to Jews and to 
 Greeks repentance toward God, and 
 faith toward our Lord Jesus 12 Christ. 
 
 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the 
 spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the 
 
 23 things that shall befall me there : save 
 that the Holy Ghost testifietli unto me 
 in every city, saying that bonds and 
 
 24 afflictions abide me. But I hold not my 
 life of any account, as dear unto myself, 
 13 so that I may accomplish my course, 
 and the ministry which I received from 
 the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel 
 
 25 of the grace of God. And now, be- 
 hold, I know that ye all, among whom 
 I went about preaching the king- 
 dom, shall see my face no more.

 28 Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the 
 
 5 many days, there came down from 
 
 5 Or,

 Judaea a certain prophet, named Aga- 
 
 some

 of 2 God, which he 3 purchased with his 
 
 Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and

 29 own blood. I know that after my de-

 17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, 
 
 
 
 36 And when he had thus spoken, he 
 
 18 the brethren received us gladly. And 
 
 
 
 kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 
 
 the day following Paul went in with 
 
 
 
 37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s 
 
 us unto J ames ; and all the elders were

 19 present. And when he had saluted 
 
 
 
 all for the word which he had spoken, 
 
 them, he rehearsed one by one the 
 
 
 
 that they should behold his face no 
 
 things which God had wrought among 
 
 
 
 more. And they brought him on his

 they, when they heard it, glorified God ; 
 
 
 
 21 And when it came to pass that we were 
 
 and they said unto him, Thou seest,

 all the Jews which are among the Gen- 
 
 
 
 we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving

 There is none that seeketh after God ; 
 
 12 They have all turned aside, they

 There is none that doeth good, no, 
 not so much as one : 
 
 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre ; 
 With their tongues they have used 
 
 deceit : 
 
 The poison of asps is under their lips : 
 
 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and 
 
 bitterness : 
 
 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood; 
 
 16 Destruction and misery are in their 
 
 ways ; 
 
 17 And the way of peace have they not 
 
 known : 
 
 18 There is no fear of God before their 
 
 eyes. 
 
 19 Now we know that what things 
 soever the law saitli, it speaketh to 
 them that are under the law; that 
 every mouth may be stopped, and all 
 the world may be brought under the 
 
 20 judgement of God: because 4 by 5 the 
 
 him that worketh, the reward is not 
 reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. 
 
 5 But to him that worketh not, but be- 
 lieveth on him that justifietli the un- 
 godly, his faith is reckoned for riglit- 
 
 6eousness. Even as David also pro- 
 nouncetli blessing upon the man, unto 
 whom God reckoneth righteousness

 Blessed are they whose iniquities 
 are forgiven, 
 
 And whose sins are covered. 
 
 8 Blessed is the man to whom the 
 
 Lord will not reckon sin. 
 
 9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon 
 the circumcision, or upon the uncir- 
 cumcision also? for we say, To Abraham 
 his faith was reckoned for righteous- 
 
 10 ness. How then was it reckoned ? when 
 he was in circumcision, or in uncircum- 
 cision ? Not in circumcision, but in mi- 
 ll circumcision : and he received the sign 
 of circumcision, a seal of the righteous- 
 ness of the faith which he had while he

 yourselves to be dead unto sin, but

 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your 
 mortal body, that ye should obey the 
 
 13 lusts thereof: neither present your 
 members unto sin as 1 instruments of 
 
 that wherein we were liolden ; so that 
 we serve in newness of the spirit, and 
 not in oldness of the letter. 
 
 7 What shall we say then ? Is the law 
 sin ? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not 
 known sin, except through 5 the law: 
 for I had not known 7 coveting, except

 not have dominion over you: for ye

 are not under law, but under grace? 
 
 16 God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom 
 ye present yourselves as 2 servants unto

 9 sin is dead. And I was alive apart from 
 
 5 the law once : but when the command-

 thanks be to God, 3 that, whereas ye 
 
 12 slew me. So that the law is holy, and 
 the commandment holy, and righteous, 
 
 13 and good. Did then that which is good

 2 servants of sin, ye were free in regard

 22 things is death. But now being made 
 free from sin, and become servants to 
 God, ye have your fruit unto sanctifi-

 the wages of sin is death; but the 
 free gift of God is eternal life in

 8 Or, that 
 
 of tlie flesli ; but they that are after the 
 
 6 spirit the things of the spirit. For the 
 mind of the flesh is death ; but the mind 
 
 7 of the spirit is life and peace : because 
 the mind of the flesh is enmity against 
 God; for it is not subject to the law of 
 
 8 God, neither indeed can it be : and they 
 that are in the flesh cannot please God. 
 
 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the 
 spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God 
 dwelleth in you. But if any man hath 
 not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of 
 
 10 his. And if Christ is in you, the body 
 is dead because of sin ; but the spirit is 
 
 11 life because of righteousness. But if 
 the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus 
 from the dead dwelleth in you, he that 
 raised up Christ Jesus from the dead 
 shall quicken also your mortal bodies 
 1 through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 
 
 12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not 
 
 13 to the flesh, to live after the flesh : for 
 if ye live after the flesh, ye must die ; 
 but if by the spirit ye 2 mortify the 
 
 14 3 deeds of the body, ye shall live. For 
 as many as are led by the Spirit of God, 
 
 15 these are sons of God. For ye received 
 not the spirit of bondage again unto 
 fear ; but ye received the spirit of adop- 
 tion, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 
 
 16 The Spirit himself bearetli witness with 
 our spirit, that we are children of God : 
 
 17 and if children, then heirs ; heirs of 
 God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so 
 be that we suffer with him , that we 
 may be also glorified with him. 
 
 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of 
 this present time are not worthy to be 
 compared with the glory which shall 
 
 19 be revealed to us-ward. For the ear- 
 nest expectation of the creation wait etli 
 for the revealing of the sons of God. 
 
 20 For the creation was subjected to 
 vanity, not of its own will, but by reason 
 
 21 of him who subjected it, 4 in hope that 
 the creation itself also shall be delivered 
 from the bondage of corruption into 
 the liberty of the glory of the children 
 
 22 of God. For we know that the whole 
 creation groaneth and travaileth in 
 
 23 pain 5 together until now. And not 
 only so, but ourselves also, which 
 have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even 
 we ourselves groan within ourselves, 
 waiting for our adoption, to wit , the 
 
 24 redemption of our body. For by hope 
 were we saved : but hope that is seen 
 is not hope: G for who Hiopetli for 
 
 25 that which he seeth ? But if we hope 
 for that which we see not, then do 
 we with patience wait for it. 
 
 26 And in like manner the Spirit also 
 helpeth our infirmity : for we know not 
 how to pray as we ought; but the 
 Spirit himself maketh intercession for 
 us with groanings which cannot be 
 
 27 uttered ; and he that searcheth the 
 hearts knoweth what is the mind of 
 the Spirit, 8 because he maketh inter- 
 
 cession for the saints according to the 
 
 28 will of God. And we know that to 
 them that love God 9 all things work 
 together for good, even to them that 
 are called according to his purpose. 
 
 29 For whom he foreknew, he also fore- 
 ordained to be conformed to the image 
 of his Son, that he might be the first- 
 
 30 born among many brethren : and whom 
 he foreordained, them he also called: 
 and whom he called, them he also 
 justified: and whom he justified, them 
 he also glorified. 
 
 31 What then shall we say to these 
 things ? If God is for us, who is against 
 
 32 us ? He that spared not his own Son, but 
 delivered him up for us all, how shall he 
 not also with him freely give us all 
 
 33 things ? Who shall lay anything to the 
 charge of God’s elect ? 10 It is God that 
 
 34justifieth; who is he that shall con- 
 demn? n It is Christ Jesus that died, yea 
 rather, that was raised from the dead, 
 who is at the right hand of God, who 
 
 35 also maketh intercession for us. Who 
 shall separate us from the love 12 of 
 Christ ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or 
 persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or 
 
 36 peril, or sword ? Even as it is written, 
 
 For thy sake we are killed all the 
 day long ; 
 
 We were accounted as sheep for the 
 slaughter. 
 
 37 Nay, in all these things we are more 
 than conquerors through him that 
 
 38 loved us. For I am persuaded, that 
 neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor 
 principalities, nor things present, nor 
 
 39 things to come, nor powers, nor height, 
 nor depth, nor any other 13 creature, shall 
 be able to separate us from the love of 
 God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
 
 9 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my 
 conscience bearing witness with me in 
 
 2 the Holy Ghost, that I have great 
 sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart. 
 
 3 For I could 14 wish that I myself were 
 anathema from Christ for my brethren’s 
 sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 
 
 4 who are Israelites ; whose is the adop- 
 tion, and the glory, and the covenants, 
 and the giving of the law, and the service 
 
 5 of God , and the promises ; whose are the 
 fathers, and of whom is Christ as con- 
 cerning the flesh, 15 who is over all, God 
 
 6 blessed 16 for ever. Amen. But it is not 
 as though the word of God hath come to 
 nought. For they are not all Israel, 
 
 7 which are of Israel : neither, because 
 they are Abraham’s seed, are they all 
 children : but, In Isaac shall thy seed 
 
 8 be called. That is, it is not the children 
 of the flesh that are children of God ; 
 but the children of the promise are 
 
 9 reckoned for a seed. For this is a word 
 of promise, According to this season 
 will I come, and Sarah shall have 
 
 10 a son. And not only so ; but Rebecca 
 also having conceived by one, even

 12 So then each one of ns shall give ac- 
 count of himself to God. 
 
 13 Let us not therefore judge one an- 
 other any more : but judge ye this 
 rather, that no man put a stumbling- 
 block in his brother’s way, or an occa- 
 
 14 sion of falling. I know, and am per- 
 suaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing 
 is unclean of itself : save that to him 
 who accounteth anything to be unclean, 
 
 15 to him it is unclean. For if because of 
 meat thy brother is grieved, thou walk- 
 est no longer in love. Destroy not with 
 thy meat him for whom Christ died. 
 
 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken 
 
 17 of : for the kingdom of God is not eat- 
 ing and drinking, but righteousness 
 and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. 
 
 18 For lie that herein serveth Christ is 
 well-pleasing to God, and approved 
 
 19 of men. So then Get us follow af- 
 ter things which make for peace, and 
 things whereby we may edify one an- 
 
 20 other. Overthrow not for meat’s sake 
 the work of God. All tilings indeed are 
 clean ; howbeit it is evil for that man 
 
 21 who eateth with offence. It is good 
 not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, 
 nor to do anything whereby thy bro- 
 
 22 tlier stumbleth 2 . The faith which 
 thou hast, have thou to thyself before 
 God. Happy is he that judgetli not 
 himself in that which he 3 approveth. 
 
 23 But he that doubtetli is condemned if 
 he eat, because lie eateth not of faith ; 
 and whatsoever is not of faith is 
 sin. 4 
 
 15 Now we that are strong ought to 
 bear the infirmities of the weak, and 
 
 2 not to please ourselves. Let each one 
 of us please his neighbour for that 
 
 3 which is good, unto edifying. For 
 Christ also pleased not himself; but, 
 as it is written, The reproaches of them 
 
 4 that reproached thee fell upon me. For 
 whatsoever things were written afore- 
 time were written for our learning, 
 that through patience and through 
 comfort of the scriptures we might 
 
 5 have hope. Now the God of patience 
 and of comfort grant you to be of the 
 same mind one with another according 
 
 6 to Christ Jesus: that with one accord 
 
 I ye may with one mouth glorify the 
 
 God and Father of our Lord Jesus 
 
 ! 7 Christ. Wherefore receive ye one an- 
 other, even as Christ also received 
 
 8 5 you, to the glory of God. For I say 
 that Christ hath been made a minister 
 of the circumcision for the truth of 
 God, that he might confirm the pro- 
 
 9 mises given unto the fathers, and that 
 the Gentiles might glorify God for his 
 mercy ; as it is written, 
 
 Therefore will I 6 give praise unto 
 thee among the Gentiles, 
 
 And sing unto thy name. 
 
 10 And again he saith, 
 
 Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 
 
 11 And again, 
 
 Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles ; 
 
 And let all the peoples praise him. 
 
 12 And again, Isaiah saith, 
 
 There shall be the root of Jesse, 
 
 And he that ariseth to rule over the 
 Gentiles ; 
 
 On him shall the Gentiles hope. 
 
 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all 
 joy and peace in believing, that ye may 
 abound in hope, in the power of the 
 Holy Ghost. 
 
 14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, 
 my brethren, that ye yourselves are full 
 of goodness, filled with all knowledge, 
 
 15 able also to admonish one another. But ! 
 I write the more boldly unto you in I 
 some measure, as putting you again in 
 remembrance, because of the grace that 
 
 16 was given me of God, that I should be 
 a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gen- 
 tiles, 7 ministering the gospel of God, 
 that the offering up of the Gentiles 
 might be made acceptable, being sancti- 
 
 17 fied by the Holy Ghost. I have therefore 
 my glorying in Christ Jesus in things 
 
 18 pertaining to God. For I will not dare 
 to speak of any 8 things save those which 
 Christ wrought through me, for the 
 obedience of the Gentiles, by word and 
 
 19 deed, in the power of signs and wonders, 
 in the power of 9 the Holy Ghost ; so that 
 from Jerusalem, and round about even 
 unto Illyricum, I have 10 fully preach - 
 
 20 ed the gospel of Christ; yea, 11 mak- 
 ing it my aim so to preach the gospel, 
 not where Christ was already named, 
 that I might not build upon another 
 
 21 man’s foundation ; but, as it is written, 
 
 They shrill see, to whom no tidings 
 of him came, 
 
 And they who have not heard shall 
 understand. 
 
 22 Wherefore also I was hindered these 
 
 23 many times from coming to you : but 
 now, having no more anyplace in these 
 regions, and having these many years 
 
 24 a longing to come unto you, whenso- 
 ever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see 
 you in my journey, and to be brought 
 on my way thitherward by you, if first 
 in some measure I shall have been satis- 
 
 25 fied with your company) — but now, I 
 say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering 
 
 26 unto the saints. For it hath been the 
 good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia 
 to make a certain contribution for the 
 poor among the saints that are at Jeru- 
 
 27 salem. Yea, it hath been their good 
 pleasure ; and their debtors they are. 
 For if the Gentiles have been made par- 
 takers of their spiritual things, they owe 
 it to them also to minister unto them in 
 
 28 carnal things. When therefore I have 
 accomplished this, and have sealed to 
 them this fruit, I will go on by you unto 
 
 29 Spain. And I know that, when I come 
 unto you, I shall come in the fulness of 
 the blessing of Christ.

 tery, even the wisdom that hath been

 Christ should be made void. 
 
 for had they known it, they would not

 to us which are being saved it is the

 I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, 
 
 And which entered not into the heart

 that is

 &c, 
 
 tent to dwell with her, let her not 
 
 14 leave her husband. For the unbeliev- 
 ing husband is sanctified in the wife, 
 and the unbelieving wife is sanctified 
 in the brother : else were your children 
 
 15 unclean ; but now are they holy. Yet 
 if the unbelieving departeth, let him 
 depart: the brother or the sister is 
 not under bondage in such cases : but 
 
 16 God hath called 1 us in peace. For how 
 knowest thou, 0 wife, whether thou 
 slialt save thy husband ? or how know- 
 est thou, O husband, whether thou 
 
 17 shalt save thy wife ? Only, as the Lord 
 hath distributed to each man, as God 
 hath called each, so let him walk. And 
 
 18 so ordain I in all the churches. Was 
 any man called being circumcised ? let 
 him not become uncircumcised. Hath 
 any been called in uncircumcision? 
 
 19 let him not be circumcised. Circum- 
 cision is nothing, and uncircumcision 
 is nothing; but the keeping of the 
 
 ‘20 commandments of God. Let each 
 man abide in that calling wherein he 
 
 21 was called. Wast thou called being a 
 bondservant? care not for it: 2 but 
 if thou canst become free, use it rather. 
 
 22 For he that was called in the Lord, 
 being a bondservant, is the Lord’s 
 freedman : likewise he that was called, 
 being free, is Christ’s bondservant. 
 
 23 Ye were bought with a price; become 
 
 24 not bondservants of men. Brethren, 
 let each man, wherein he was called, 
 therein abide with God. 
 
 25 Now concerning virgins I have no 
 commandment of the Lord : but I give 
 my judgement, as one that hath obtain- 
 
 26 ed mercy of the Lord to be faithful. I 
 think therefore that this is good by 
 reason of the present distress, namely , 
 that it is good for a man 3 to be as he 
 
 27 is. Art thou bound unto a wife ? seek 
 not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from 
 
 28 a wife ? seek not a wife. But and if 
 thou marry, thou hast not sinned ; and 
 if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. 
 Yet such shall have tribulation in the 
 
 29 flesh : and I would spare you. But this 
 I say, brethren, the time 4 is shortened, 
 that henceforth both those that have 
 wives may be as though they had none ; 
 
 30 and those that weep, as though they 
 wept not; and those that rejoice, as 
 though they rejoiced not; and those 
 that buy, as though they possessed not; 
 
 31 and those that use the world, as not 
 5 abusing it: for the fashion of this 
 
 32 world passeth away. But I would have 
 you to be free from cares. He that 
 is unmarried is careful for the things 
 of the Lord, how he may please the 
 
 33 Lord : but he that is married is careful 
 for the things of the world, how he may 
 
 34 please his G wife. And there is a differ- 
 ence also between the wife and the 
 virgin. She that is unmarried is care- 
 ful for the things of the Lord, that she 
 
 may be holy both in body and in spirit : 
 but she that is married is careful for 
 the things of the world, how she may 
 
 35 please her husband. And this I say 
 for your own profit ; not that I may 
 cast a 7 snare upon you, but for that 
 which is seemly, and that ye may 
 attend upon the Lord without distrac- 
 
 36 tion. But if any man thinketh that he 
 behaveth himself unseemly toward his 
 8 virgin daughter , if she be past the 
 flower of her age, and if need so re- 
 quireth, let him do what he will; he 
 
 37 sinneth not ; let them marry. But he 
 that standeth stedfast in his heart, 
 having no necessity, but hath power as 
 touching his own will, and hath de- 
 termined this in his own heart, to keep 
 his own 8 virgin daughter , shall do well. 
 
 38 So then both he that giveth his own 
 8 virgin daughter in marriage doeth 
 well; and he that giveth her not in mar- 
 
 39 riage shall do better. A wife is bound 
 for so long time as her husband livetli ; 
 but if the husband be 9 dead, she is free 
 to be married to whom she will ; only 
 
 40 in the Lord. But she is happier if she 
 abide as she is, after my judgement : 
 and I think that I also have the Spirit 
 of God. 
 
 3 Now concerning things sacrificed to 
 idols : We know that we all have know- 
 ledge. Knowledge puff eth up, but love 
 
 2 10 edifieth. If any man thinketh that 
 he knoweth anything, he knowetli not 
 
 3 yet as he ought to know ; but if any 
 man loveth God, the same is known of 
 
 4 him. Concerning therefore the eating 
 of things sacrificed to idols, we know 
 that no idol is anything in the world, 
 
 5 and that there is no God but one. For 
 though there be that are called gods, 
 whether in heaven or on earth; as there 
 
 6 are gods many, and lords many ; yet to 
 us there is one God, the Father, of whom 
 are all things, and we unto him ; and 
 one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom 
 are all things, and we through him. 
 
 7 Howbeit in all men there is not that 
 knowledge : but some, being used until 
 now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacri- 
 ficed to an idol ; and their conscience 
 
 8 being weak is defiled. But meat will 
 not commend us to God : neither, if we 
 eat not, 11 are we the worse ; nor, if we 
 
 9 eat, 12 are we the better. But take heed 
 lest by any means this 13 liberty of 
 yours become a stumblingblock to the 
 
 10 weak. For if a man see thee which hast 
 knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s 
 temple, will not his conscience, if he is 
 weak, 14 be emboldened to eat things sac- 
 
 11 rificed to idols? For 15 through thy know- 
 ledge he that is weak perisheth, the bro- 
 
 12 ther for whose sake Christ died. And 
 thus, sinning against the brethren, and 
 wounding their conscience when it is 
 
 13 weak, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, 
 if meat maketh my brother to stumble, I

 doubtless 
 
 it was written : because he that plowetli

 ought to plow in hope, and he that

 if I preach the gospel, I have nothing

 12 of the ages are come. Wherefore 
 
 
 
 me ; for woe is untome, if I preach not 
 
 let him that tliinketh he standeth

 13 take heed lest he fall. There hath no

 18 to me. What then is my reward ? That, 
 
 will not suffer you to be tempted 
 
 
 
 when I preach the gospel, I may make 
 
 above that ye are able ; but will with

 If I par-

 fulness 
 
 18 the one 1 bread. Behold Israel after the 
 flesh : have not they which eat the sacri- 
 
 19 flees communion with the altar ? What 
 say I then ? that a thing sacrificed to 
 idols is anything, or that an idol is 
 
 20 anything ? But I say, that the things 
 which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacri- 
 fice to 2 devils, and not to God : and I 
 would not that ye should have com- 
 
 21 munion with 2 devils. Ye cannot drink 
 the cup of the Lord, and the cup of 
 2 devils : ye cannot partake of the table 
 of the Lord, and of the table of 2 devils. 
 
 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy ? 
 are we stronger than he ? 
 
 23 All things are lawful ; but all things 
 are not expedient. All things are law- 
 
 24 ful ; but all things 3 edify not. Let no 
 man seek his own, but each his neigh- 
 
 25 hour’s good. Whatsoever is sold in the 
 shambles, eat, asking no question for 
 
 26 conscience sake ; for the earth is the 
 
 27 Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. If one 
 of them that believe not biddeth you 
 to a feast, and ye are disposed to go ; 
 whatsoever is set before you, eat, ask- 
 ing no question for conscience sake. 
 
 28 But if any man say unto you, This 
 hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, 
 for his sake that shewed it, and for 
 
 29 conscience sake : conscience, I say, not 
 thine own, but the other’s ; for why is 
 my liberty judged by another con- 
 
 30 science? 4 If I by grace partake, why 
 am I evil spoken of for that for which 
 
 31 1 give thanks ? Whether therefore ye 
 eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do 
 
 32 all to the glory of God. Give no occasion 
 of stumbling, either to Jews, or to 
 
 33 Greeks, or to the church of God : even 
 as I also please all men in all things, 
 not seeking mine own profit, but tlie 
 • profit of the many, that they may be 
 
 11 saved. Be ye imitators of me, even 
 as I also am of Christ. 
 
 2 Now I praise you that ye remember 
 me in all things, and hold fast the tra- 
 ditions, even as I delivered them to you. 
 
 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 
 
 4 head of Christ is God. Every man 
 praying or prophesying, having his 
 head covered, dishonouretli his head. 
 
 5 But every woman praying or prophesy- 
 ing with her head unveiled dishonoureth 
 her head: for it is one and the same 
 
 6 thing as if she were shaven. For if a 
 woman is not veiled, let her also be 
 shorn : but if it is a shame to a woman 
 to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 
 
 7 For a man indeed ought not to have his 
 head veiled, forasmuch as he is the 
 image and glory of God : but the woman 
 
 8 is the glory of the man. For the man is 
 not of the woman ; but the woman of 
 
 9 the man: for neither was the man 
 created for the woman ; but the woman 
 
 10 for the man : for this cause ought the 
 
 10. 17. 
 
 woman to 5 have a sign of authority on 
 
 11 her head, because of the angels. How- 
 beit neither is the woman without the 
 man, nor the man without the woman, 
 
 12 in the Lord. For as the woman is of the 
 man, so is the man also by the woman ; 
 
 13 but all things are of God. J udge ye 6 in 
 yourselves : is it seemly that a woman 
 
 14 pray unto God unveiled ? Doth not even 
 nature itself teach you, that, if a man 
 have long hair, it is a dishonour to him ? 
 
 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is 
 a glory to her: for her hair is given 
 
 16 her for a covering. But if any man 
 seemeth to be contentious, we have no j 
 such custom, neither the churches of 
 
 5 Or, 
 have au- 
 thority 
 over 
 
 6 Or, 
 
 among 
 
 God. 
 
 17 But in giving you this charge, I praise 
 you not, that ye come together not for 
 
 18 the better but for the worse. For first 
 of all, when ye come together 7 in the 
 church, I hear that 8 divisions exist 
 among you ; and I partly believe it. 
 
 19 For there must be also 9 heresies among 
 you, that they which are approved may 
 
 20 be made manifest among you. When 
 therefore ye assemble yourselves to- 
 gether, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s 
 
 21 supper: for in your eating each one 
 taketh before other his own supper ; and 
 one is hungry, and another is drunken. 
 
 22 What ? have ye not houses to eat and 
 to drink in ? or despise ye the 10 church 
 of God, and put them to shame that 
 
 11 have not ? What shall I say to you ? 
 
 12 shall I praise you in this ? I praise you 
 
 23 not. Fori received of the Lord that 
 
 which also I delivered unto you, how 
 that the Lord Jesus in the night in which 
 
 24 he was betrayed took bread ; and when 
 he had given thanks, he brake it, and 
 said, This is my body, which 13 is for 
 you: this do in remembrance of me. 
 
 25 In like manner also the cup, after sup- 
 per, saying, This cup is the new 14 cove- 
 nant in my blood : this do, as oft as ye 
 
 26 drink it, in remembrance of me. For 
 as often as ye eat this bread, and drink 
 the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death 
 
 27 till he come. Wherefore whosoever 
 shall eat the bread or drink the cup of 
 the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of 
 the body and the blood of the Lord. 
 
 28 But let a man prove himself, and so let 
 him eat of the bread, and drink of the 
 
 29 cup. For he that eateth and drinketh, 
 eateth and drinketh judgement unto 
 himself, if he 15 discern not the body. 
 
 30 For this cause many among you are 
 weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 
 
 31 But if we 16 discerned ourselves, we 
 
 32 should not be judged. But 17 when we are 
 judged, we are chastened of the Lord, 
 that we may not be condemned with 
 
 33 the world. Wherefore, my brethren, 
 when ye come together to eat, wait one 
 
 34 for another. If any man is hungry, 
 let him eat at home; that your coming 
 together be not unto judgement. And

 and to another the word of knowledge,

 I am: and his grace which was be- 
 stowed upon me was not found 1 vain ; 
 but I laboured more abundantly than 
 they all: yet not I, but the grace of 
 
 1 1 God which was with me . Whether then 
 it be I or they, so we preach, and so 
 ye believed. 
 
 12 Now if Christ is preached that he hath 
 been raised from the dead, how say some 
 among you that there is no resurrection 
 
 13 of the dead ? But if there is no resur- 
 rection of the dead, neither hath Christ 
 
 14 been raised : and if Christ hath not been 
 raised, then is our preaching Wain, 
 
 15 2 your faith also is 1 vain. Yea, and we 
 are found false witnesses of God ; be- 
 cause we witnessed of God that he rais- 
 ed up 3 Christ : whom he raised not up, 
 if so be that the dead are not raised. 
 
 16 For if the dead are not raised, neither 
 
 17 hath Christ been raised : and if Christ 
 hath not been raised, your faith is vain ; 
 
 18 ye are yet in your sins. Then they also 
 which are fallen asleep in Christ have 
 
 19 perished. 4 If in this life only we have 
 hoped in Christ, we are of all men most 
 pitiable. 
 
 ‘20 But now hath Christ been raised from 
 the dead, the firstfruits of them that are 
 
 21 asleep. For since by man came death, 
 by man came also the resurrection of 
 
 ‘22 the dead. For as in Adam all die, so 
 also in 3 Christ shall all be made alive. 
 
 23 But each in his own order : Christ the 
 firstfruits ; then they that are Christ’s, 
 
 24 at his 5 coming. Then cometh the end, 
 when he shall deliver up the kingdom to 
 6 God, even the Father ; when he shall 
 have abolished all rule and all authori- 
 
 25 ty and power. For he must reign, till 
 he hath put all his enemies under his 
 
 26 feet. The last enemy that shall be abo- 
 
 27 lished is death. For, He put all things 
 in subjection under his feet. 7 But when 
 he saitli, All things are put in subjec- 
 tion, it is evident that he is excepted 
 who did subject all things unto him. 
 
 28 And when all things have been subject- 
 ed unto him, then shall the Son also 
 himself be subjected to him that did 
 subject all things unto him, that God 
 may be all in all. 
 
 29 Else what shall they do which are bap- 
 tized for the dead ? If the dead are not 
 raised at all, why then are they baptiz- 
 
 30 ed for them ? why do we also stand in 
 
 31 j eopardy every hour ? I protest by 8 that 
 glorying in you, brethren, which I have 
 in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 
 
 32 If after the manner of men I fought with 
 beasts at Ephesus, 9 what doth it profit 
 me ? If the dead are not raised, let us 
 eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. 
 
 33 Be not deceived : Evil company doth 
 
 34 corrupt good manners. 10 Awake up 
 righteously, and sin not ; for some have 
 no knowledge of God : I speak this to 
 move you to shame. 
 
 85 But some one will say, How are the 
 
 dead raised ? and with what manner of 
 
 36 body do they come ? Thou foolish one, | 
 that which thou thyself sowest is not 
 
 37 quickened, except it die: and that which 
 thou sowest, thou sowest not the body ' 
 that shall be, but a bare grain, it may 
 chance of wheat, or of some other kind ; 
 
 38 but God givetli it a body even as it pleas- 
 ed him, and to each seed a body of its 
 
 39 own. All flesh is not the same flesh : 
 but there is one flesh of men, and an- 
 other flesh of beasts, and another flesh of 
 
 40 birds, and another of fishes. There are 
 also celestial bodies, and bodies terres- 
 trial : but the glory of the celestial is 
 one, and the glory of the terrestrial is 
 
 41 another. There is one glory of the sun, 
 and another glory of the moon, and 
 another glory of the stars ; for one star 
 
 42 differeth from another star in glory. So 
 also is the resurrection of the dead. It 
 is sown in corruption ; it is raised in in- j 
 
 43 corruption : it is sown in dishonour ; it j 
 is raised in glory: it is sown in weak- | 
 
 44 ness ; it is raised in power : it is sown a j 
 natural body; it is raised a spiritual 
 body. If there is a natural body, there 
 
 45 is also a spiritual body. So also it is 
 written, The first man Adam became a 
 living soul. The last Adam became a | 
 
 46 life-giving spirit. Howbeit that is not 
 first which is spiritual, but that which is j 
 natural; then that which is spiritual. 
 
 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the 
 
 48 second man is of heaven. As is the j 
 earthy, such are they also that are 
 earthy : and as is the heavenly, such are j 
 
 49 they also that are heavenly. And as we 
 have borne the image of the earthy, 11 we j 
 shall also bear the image of the hea- 
 venly. 
 
 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh 
 and blood cannot inherit the king- 
 dom of God; neither doth corruption 
 
 51 inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell 
 you a mystery : We shall not all sleep, 
 
 52 but we shall all be changed, in a mo- 
 ment, in the twinkling of an eye, at 
 the last trump : for the trumpet shall 
 sound, and the dead shall be raised 
 incorruptible, and we shall be chang- 
 
 53 ed. For this corruptible must put on 
 incorruption, and this mortal must 
 
 54 put on immortality. But when 12 this 
 corruptible shall have put on incorrup- 
 tion, and this mortal shall have put on 
 immortality, then shall come to pass the 
 saying that is written, Death is swal- 
 
 55 lowed up 13 in victory. O death, where 
 is thy victory? O death, where is 
 
 56 thy sting ? The sting of death is sin ; 
 
 57 and the power of sin is the la w : but 
 thanks be to God, which giveth us the 
 victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye 
 stedfast, unmoveable, always abound- 
 ing in the work of the Lord, foras- 
 much as ye know that your labour is 
 not 1 vain in the Lord.

 ye also are ours, in tlie day of our 
 Lord Jesus. 
 
 15 And in this confidence I was minded to 
 come before unto you, that ye might 
 
 16 have a second 1 benefit ; and by you to 
 pass into Macedonia, and again from 
 Macedonia to come unto you, and of you 
 to be set forward on my journey unto 
 
 17 Judaea. When I therefore was thus 
 minded, did I shew fickleness ? or the 
 things that I purpose, do I purpose ac- 
 cording to the flesh, that with me there 
 should be the yea yea and the nay nay ? 
 
 18 But as God is faithful, our word toward 
 
 19 you is not yea and nay. For the Son of 
 God, Jesus Christ, who was preached 
 among you 2 by us, even 2 by me and 
 Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea 
 
 20 and nay, but in him is yea. For how 
 | many soever Be the promises of God, in 
 
 him is the yea : wherefore also through 
 him is the Amen, unto the glory of God 
 
 21 through us. Now he that stablisheth 
 us with you 3 in Christ, and anointed 
 
 22 us, is God; 4 who also sealed us, and 
 gave us the earnest of the Spirit in 
 our hearts. 
 
 23 But I call God for a witness upon my 
 soul, that to spare you I forbare to come 
 
 24 unto Corinth. Not that we have lord- 
 ship over your faith, but are helpers of 
 
 2 your joy : for by 5 faith ye stand. G But 
 I determined this for myself, that I 
 would not come again to you with sor- 
 
 2 row. For if I make you sorry, who then 
 is he that maketh me glad, but he that 
 
 3 is made sorry by me ? And I wrote this 
 very thing, lest, when I came, I should 
 have sorrow from them of whom I ought 
 to rejoice ; having confidence in you all, 
 
 4 that my joy is the joy of you all. For 
 out of much affliction and anguish of 
 heart I wrote unto you with many tears; 
 not that ye should be made sorry, but 
 that ye might know the love which I 
 have more abundantly unto you. 
 
 5 But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath 
 caused sorrow, not to me, but in part 
 (that I press not too heavily) to you all. 
 
 6 Sufficient to such a one is this punish- 
 ment which was injiicted by 7 the many ; 
 
 7 so that contrariwise ye should 8 rather 
 forgive him and comfort him, lest by any 
 means such a one should be swallowed 
 
 8 up with his overmuch sorrow. Where- 
 fore I beseech you to confirm your love 
 
 9 toward him. For to this end also did I 
 write, that I might know the proof of 
 you, 9 whether ye are obedient in all 
 
 10 things. But to whom ye forgive any- 
 thing, I forgive also: for what I also 
 have forgiven, if I have forgiven any- 
 thing, for your sakes have I forgiven it 
 
 11 in the 10 person of Christ; that no ad- 
 vantage may be gained over .us by Sa- 
 tan : for we are not ignorant of his 
 devices. 
 
 12 Now when I came to Troas for the 
 gospel of Christ, and when a door was 
 
 13 opened unto me in the Lord, I had no 
 relief for my spirit, because I found not 
 Titus my brother : but taking my leave 
 of them, I went forth into Macedonia. 
 
 14 But thanks be unto God, which always 
 leadetli us in triumph in Christ, and 
 maketh manifest through us the savour 
 
 15 of his knowledge in every place. For 
 we are a sweet savour of Christ unto 
 God, in them that are being saved, and 
 
 16 in them that are perishing ; to the one 
 a savour from death unto death ; to the 
 other a savour from life unto life. And 
 
 17 who is sufficient for these* things ? For 
 we are not as the many, 11 corrupting 
 the word of God : but as of sincerity, 
 but as of God, in the sight of God, 
 speak we in Christ. 
 
 3 Are we beginning again to commend 
 ourselves ? or need we, as do some, epi- 
 stles of commendation to you or from 
 
 2 you ? Ye are our epistle, written in our 
 hearts, known and read of all men; 
 
 3 being made manifest that ye are an 
 epistle of Christ, ministered by us, 
 written not with ink, but with the 
 Spirit of the living God ; not in tables 
 of stone, but in tables that are hearts of 
 
 4 flesh. And such confidence have we 
 
 5 through Christ to God-ward : not that 
 we are sufficient of ourselves, to account 
 anything as from ourselves; but our 
 
 6 sufficiency is from God ; who also made 
 us sufficient as ministers of a new 
 12 covenant ; not of the letter, but of the 
 spirit: for the letter killetli, but the 
 
 7 spirit giveth life. But if the ministra- 
 tion of death, 13 written, and engraven 
 on stones, came 14 with glory, so that the 
 children of Israel could not look sted- 
 fastly upon the face of Moses for the 
 glory of his face; which glory 15 was 
 
 8 passing away : how shall not rather the 
 ministration of the spirit be with glory ? 
 
 9 16 For if the ministration of condemna- 
 tion is glory, much rather doth the mi- 
 nistration of righteousness exceed in 
 
 10 glory. For verily that which hath been 
 made glorious hath not been made glo- 
 rious in this respect, by reason of the 
 
 11 glory that surpassetli. For if that 
 which 17 passeth away was 18 with glory, 
 much more that which remaineth is in 
 glory. 
 
 12 Having therefore such a hope, we use 
 
 13 great boldness of speech, and are not 
 as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, 
 that the children of Israel should not 
 look stedfastly 19 on the end of that 
 
 14 which 15 was passing away: but their 
 20 minds were hardened: for until this 
 very day at the reading of the old 
 12 covenant the same veil 21 remaineth 
 unlifted; which veil is done away in 
 
 15 Christ. But unto this day, whenso- 
 ever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon 
 
 16 their heart. But whensoever 22 it 
 shall turn to the Lord, the veil is 
 
 17 taken away. Now the Lord is the

 written, that Abraham had two sons, 
 one by the handmaid, and one by the 
 
 23 freewoman. Howbeit the son by the 
 handmaid is born after the flesh ; but 
 th eson by the freewoman is born through 
 
 24 promise . Which things contain an alle- 
 gory: for these women are two cove- 
 nants ; one from mount Sinai, bearing 
 children unto bondage, which is Hagar. 
 
 13 For ye, brethren, were called for 
 freedom; only use not your freedom 
 for an occasion to the flesh, but through 
 
 14 love be servants one to another. For 
 the whole law is fulfilled in one word, 
 even in this ; Thou shalt love thy neigh - 
 
 15bour as thyself. But if ye bite and 
 devour one another, take heed that ye 
 be not consumed one of another. 
 
 16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and

 the church and in Christ Jesus unto 1 all 
 generations for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 4 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, 
 beseech you to walk worthily of the 
 
 2 calling wherewith ye were called, with 
 all lowliness and meekness, with long- 
 suffering, forbearing one another in 
 
 3 love ; giving diligence to keep the unity 
 
 4 of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There 
 w one body, and one Spirit, even as also 
 ye were called in one hope of your call- 
 
 5 ing ; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 
 
 6 one God and Father of all, who is 
 over all, and through all, and in all. 
 
 7 But unto each one of us was the grace 
 given according to the measure of the 
 
 S gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, 
 When he ascended on high, he led 
 captivity captive, 
 
 And gave gifts unto men. 
 
 9 (Now this, He ascended, what is it but 
 that he also descended 2 into the lower 
 
 10 parts of the earth ? He that descended 
 is the same also that ascended far above 
 all the heavens, that he might fill all 
 
 11 things.) And he gave some to be apo- 
 stles ; and some, prophets ; and some, 
 evangelists; and some, pastors and 
 
 12 teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, 
 unto the work of ministering, unto the 
 
 13 building up of the body of Christ : till 
 we all attain unto the unity of the 
 faith, and of the knowledge of the Son 
 of God, unto a fullgrownman, unto the 
 measure of the stature of the fulness 
 
 14 of Christ : that we may be no longer 
 children, tossed to and fro and carried 
 about with every wind of doctrine, by 
 the sleight of men, in craftiness, after 
 
 15 the wiles of error ; but 3 speaking truth 
 in love, may grow up in all things into 
 him, which is the head, even Christ ; 
 
 16 from whom all the body fitly framed 
 and knit together 4 through that which 
 every joint supplietli, according to the 
 working in due measure of each se- 
 veral part, maketli the increase of the 
 body unto the building up of itself in 
 love. 
 
 17 This I say therefore, and testify in 
 the Lord, that ye no longer walk as 
 the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity 
 
 18 of their mind, being darkened in their 
 understanding, alienated from the life 
 of God because of the ignorance that 
 is in them, because of the hardening 
 
 19 of their heart ; who being past feeling 
 gave themselves up to lasciviousness, 
 5 to work all uncleanness with 6 greedi- 
 
 20 ness. But ye did not so learn Christ ; 
 
 21 if so be that ye heard him, and were 
 taught in him, even as truth is in 
 
 22 Jesus : that ye put away, as concerning 
 your former manner of life, the old man, 
 which waxeth corrupt after the lusts 
 
 23 of deceit ; and that ye be renewed in 
 
 24 the spirit of your mind, and put on the 
 new man, 7 which after God hath been 
 created in righteousness and holiness 
 of truth. 
 
 25 Wherefore, putting away falsehood, 
 speak ye truth each one with his neigh- 
 bour: for we are members one of another. 
 
 26 Be ye angry, and sin not : let not the 
 
 27 sun go down upon your 8 wrath : neither 
 
 28 give place to the devil. Let him that 
 stole steal no more : but rather let him 
 labour, working with his hands the thing 
 that is good, that he may have whereof 
 
 29 to give to him that hath need. Let no 
 corrupt speech proceed out of your 
 mouth, but such as is good for 9 edifying 
 as the need maybe, that it may give grace 
 
 30 to them that hear. And grieve not the 
 Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were 
 
 31 sealed unto the day of redemption. Let 
 all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and 
 clamour, and railing, be put away from 
 
 32 you, with all malice : and be ye kind one 
 to another, tenderhearted, forgiving 
 each other, even as God also in Christ 
 forgave 10 you. 
 
 5 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as 
 
 2 beloved children ; and walk in love, even 
 as Christ also loved you, and gave him- 
 self up for 11 us, an offering and a sacri- 
 fice to God for an odour of a sweet smell. 
 
 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or 
 covetousness, let it not even be named 
 
 4 among you, as becometh saints; nor 
 filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, 
 which are not befitting: but rather 
 
 5 giving of thanks. For this ye know 
 of a surety, that no fornicator, nor 
 unclean person, nor covetous man, 
 which is an idolater, hath any in- 
 heritance in the kingdom of Christ 
 
 6 and God. Let no man deceive you 
 with empty words : for because of 
 these things cometli the wrath of 
 God upon the sons of disobedience. 
 
 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with 
 
 8 them; for ye were once darkness, 
 
 but are now light in the Lord : walk as 
 
 9 children of light (for the fruit of the 
 light is in all goodness and righteousness 
 
 10 and truth), proving what is well-pleas- 
 
 11 ing unto the Lord; and have no 
 fellowship with the unfruitful works of 
 darkness, but rather even 12 reprove 
 
 12 them ; for the things which are done by 
 them in secret it is a shame even to 
 
 13 speak of. But all things when they 
 are 13 reproved are made manifest by 
 the light ; for everything that is 
 
 14 made manifest os light. Wherefore 
 he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, 
 and arise from the dead, and Christ 
 shall shine upon thee.

 1 Paul and Timothy, 1 servants of 
 Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ 
 Jesus which are at Philippi, with the 
 
 ‘2 2 bishops and deacons: Grace to you 
 and peace from God our Father and 
 the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 3 I thank my God upon all my remem- 
 
 4brance of you, always in every sup- 
 plication of mine on behalf of you 
 all making my supplication with joy, 
 
 5 for your fellowship in furtherance of 
 the gospel from the first day until 
 
 6 now ; being confident of this very thing, 
 that he which began a good work in 
 you will perfect it until the day of 
 
 7 Jesus Christ : even as it is right for 
 me to be thus minded on behalf of you 
 all, because 3 1 have you in my heart, 
 inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in 
 the defence and confirmation of the 
 gospel* ye all are partakers with me 
 
 8 of grace. For God is my witness, how 
 I long after you all in the tender 
 
 9 mercies of Christ Jesus. And this I 
 pray, that your love may abound yet 
 more and more in knowledge and all 
 
 10 discernment ; so that ye may 4 approve 
 the things that are excellent ; that ye 
 may be sincere and void of offence 
 
 11 unto the day of Christ; being filled 
 with the 5 fruits of righteousness, 
 which are through Jesus Christ, unto 
 the glory and praise of God. 
 
 12 Now I would have you know, bre- 
 thren, that the things which happened 
 unto me have fallen out rather unto 
 
 13 the progress of the gospel; so that 
 my bonds became manifest in Christ 
 6 throughout the whole praetorian 
 
 14 guard, and to all the rest; and that 
 most of the brethren in the Lord, 
 7 being confident through my bonds, 
 are more abundantly bold to speak 
 
 15 the word of God without fear. Some 
 indeed preach Christ even of envy 
 and strife ; and some also of good 
 
 16 will: the one do it of love, know- 
 ing that I am set for the defence 
 
 17 of the gospel: but the other proclaim 
 Christ of faction, not sincerely, think- 
 ing to raise up affliction for me in my 
 
 18 bonds. What then? only that in every 
 way, whether in pretence or in truth, 
 Christ is proclaimed; and therein I 
 
 19 rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. For I 
 know that this shall turn to my 
 salvation, through your supplication 
 and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus 
 
 20 Christ, according to my earnest ex- 
 pectation and hope, that in nothing 
 
 shall I be put to shame, but that 
 with all boldness, as always, so now 
 also Christ shall be magnified in my 
 body, whether by life, or by death. 
 
 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to 
 
 22 die is gain. 8 But if to liye in the 
 flesh, — if this is the fruit of my work, 
 then 9 what I shall choose 10 1 wot not. 
 
 23 But I am in a strait betwixt the two, 
 having the desire to depart and be 
 with Christ ; for it is very far better : 
 
 24 yet to abide in the flesh is more needful 
 
 25 for your sake. And having this confi- 
 dence, I know that I shall abide, yea, 
 and abide with you all, for your pro- 
 
 26 gress and joy 11 in the faith ; that your 
 glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in 
 me through my presence with you 
 
 27 again. Only 12 let your manner of life 
 be worthy of the gospel of Christ: 
 that, whether I come and see you or 
 be absent, I may hear of your state, 
 that ve stand fast in one spirit, with 
 one soul striving 18 for the faith of the 
 
 28 gospel; and in nothing affrighted by 
 the adversaries : which is for them an 
 evident token of perdition, but of your 
 
 29 salvation, and that from God ; because 
 to you it hath been granted in the be- 
 half of Christ, not only to believe on 
 him, but also to suffer in his behalf: 
 
 30 having the same conflict which ye saw 
 in me, and now hear to be in me. 
 
 2 If there is therefore any comfort in 
 Christ, if any consolation of love, if any 
 fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender 
 
 2 mercies and compassions, fulfil ye my 
 joy, that ye be of the same mind, having 
 the same love, being of one accord, 14 of 
 
 3 one mind ; doing nothing through fac- 
 tion or through vainglory, but in low- 
 liness of mind each counting other 
 
 4 better than himself ; not looking each 
 of you to his own things, but each of 
 
 5 you also to the things of others. Have 
 this mind in you, which was also in 
 
 6 Christ Jesus : who, 15 being in the form 
 of God, counted it not 16 a prize to be 
 
 7 on an equality with God, but emptied 
 himself, taking the form of a 17 servant, 
 18 being made in the likeness of men; 
 
 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he 
 humbled himself, becoming obedient 
 even unto death, yea, the death of the 
 
 9 cross. Wherefore also God highly exalt- 
 ed him, and gave unto him the name 
 
 10 which is above every name ; that in the 
 name of Jesus every knee should bow, of 
 things in heaven and things on earth

 shewed ourselves toward you for your 
 6 sake. And ye became imitators of us, 
 and of the Lord, having received the 
 word in much affliction, with joy of the 
 7 1 Holy Ghost ; so that ye became an en- 
 sample to all that believe in Macedonia 
 Band in Achaia. Lor from you hath 
 sounded forth the word of the Lord, not 
 only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in 
 every place your faith to God-ward is 
 gone forth ; so that we need not to speak 
 9 anything. For they themselves report 
 concerning us what manner of entering 
 in we had unto you ; and how ye turned 
 I unto God from idols, to serve a living 
 i 10 and true God, and to wait for his Son 
 from heaven, whom he raised from the 
 dead, even Jesus, which delivereth us 
 from the wrath to come. 
 
 2 For yourselves, brethren, know our en- 
 tering in unto you, that it hath not been 
 
 2 found vain : but having suffered before, 
 and been shamefully entreated, as ye 
 know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our 
 God to speak unto you the gospel of God 
 
 3 in much conflict. For our exhortation 
 is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor 
 
 4 in guile : but even as we have been ap- 
 proved of God to be intrusted with the 
 gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing 
 men, but God which proveth our hearts. 
 
 5 For neither at any time were we found 
 using words of flattery, as ye know, nor 
 a cloke of covetousness, God is wit- 
 
 6 ness ; nor seeking glory of men, neither 
 from you, nor from others, when we 
 might have 2 been burdensome, as apo- 
 
 7 sties of Christ. But we were 3 gentle 
 in the midst of you, as when a nurse 
 
 8 clierisheth her own children : even so, 
 being affectionately desirous of you, we 
 were well pleased to impart unto you, 
 not the gospel of God only, but also our 
 own souls, because ye were become very 
 
 9 dear to us. For ye remember, brethren, 
 our labour and travail : working night 
 and day, that we might not burden any 
 of you, we preached unto you the gos- 
 
 10 pel of God. Ye are witnesses, and God 
 also, how holily and righteously and 
 unblameably we behaved ourselves to- 
 ll ward you that believe: as ye know 
 how we dealt with each one of you, 
 as a father with his own children, ex- 
 horting you, and encouraging you , 
 
 12 and testifying, to the end that ye 
 should walk worthily of God, who 
 4 callethyouinto his own kingdom and 
 glory. 
 
 13 And for this cause we also thank God 
 without ceasing, that, when ye received 
 from us 5 the word of the message, even 
 the word of God, ye accepted it not as 
 the word of men, but, as it is in truth, 
 the word of God, which also worketh 
 
 14 in you that believe. For ye, brethren, 
 became imitators of the churches of 
 God which are in Judaea in Christ 
 Jesus: for ye also suffered the same 
 
 things of your own countrymen, even 
 
 15 as they did of the Jews ; who both 
 killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, 
 and drave out us, and please not God, 
 
 16 and are contrary to all men ; forbidding 
 us to speak to the Gentiles that they 
 may be saved ; to fill up their sins al- 
 way : but the wrath is come upon them 
 to the uttermost. 
 
 17 But we, brethren, being bereaved of 
 you for 6 a short season, in presence, not 
 in heart, endeavoured the more exceed- 
 ingly to see your face with great de- 
 
 18 sire : because we would fain have come 
 unto you, I Paul once and again ; and 
 
 19 Satan hindered us. For what is our 
 hope, or joy, or crown of glorying ? Are 
 not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at 
 
 20 his 7 coming ? For ye are our glory and 
 our joy. 
 
 3 Wherefore when we could no longer 
 forbear, we thought it good to be left 
 
 2 behind at Athens alone ; and sent Ti- 
 mothy, our brother and 8 God’s minister 
 in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, 
 and to comfort you concerning your 
 
 3 faith ; that no man be moved by these 
 afflictions; for yourselves know that 
 
 4 hereunto we are appointed. For verily, 
 when we were with you, we told you 
 9 beforehand that we are to suffer afflic- 
 tion ; even as it came to pass, and ye 
 
 5 know. For this cause I also, when 
 I could no longer forbear, sent that 
 I might know your faith, lest by any 
 means the tempter had tempted you, 
 
 6 and our labour should be in vain. But 
 when Timothy came even now unto us 
 from you, and brought us glad tidings 
 of your faith and love, and that ye have 
 good remembrance of us always, long- 
 ing to see us, even as we also to see 
 
 7 you ; for this cause, brethren, we were 
 comforted over you in all our distress 
 
 8 and affliction through your faith : for 
 now we live, if ye stand fast in the 
 
 9 Lord. For what thanksgiving can we 
 render again unto God for you, for all 
 the joy wherewith we joy for your 
 
 10 sakes before our God ; night and day 
 praying exceedingly that we may see 
 your face, and may perfect that which 
 is lacking in your faith ? 
 
 11 Now may our God and Father him- 
 self, and our Lord Jesus, direct our 
 
 12 way unto you: and the Lord make 
 you to increase and abound in love one 
 toward another, and toward all men, 
 
 13 even as we also do toward you; to 
 the end he may stablish your hearts 
 unblameable in holiness before our 
 God and Father, at the 7 coming of 
 our Lord Jesus with all his saints. 10 
 
 4 Finally then, brethren, we beseech 
 and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, 
 that, as ye received of us how ye 
 ought to walk and to please God, 
 even as ye do walk, — that ye abound 
 
 2 more and more. For ye know what

 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesns i-by j 
 the will of God, according to the pro- 
 mise of the life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 
 
 2 to Timothy, my beloved child : Grace, 
 mercy, peace, from God the Father and 
 Christ Jesus our Lord. 
 
 3 I thank God, whom I serve from my 
 forefathers in a pure conscience, how 
 unceasing is my remembrance of thee 
 
 4 in my supplications, night and day long- 
 ing to see thee, remembering thy tears, 
 
 5 that I may be filled with 2 joy ; having 
 been reminded of the unfeigned faith 
 that is in thee; which dwelt first in 
 thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother 
 Eunice ; and, I am persuaded, in thee 
 
 6 also. For the which cause I put thee in 
 remembrance that thou 3 stir up the gift 
 of God, which is in thee through the 
 
 7 laying on of my hands. For God gave 
 us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of 
 
 8 power and love and 4 discipline. Be not 
 ashamed therefore of the testimony of 
 our Lord, nor of me his prisoner : but 
 suffer hardship with the gospel accord- 
 
 9 ing to the power of God ; who saved us, 
 and called us with a holy calling, not 
 according to our works, but according 
 to his own purpose and grace, which 
 was given us in Christ Jesus before 
 
 10 times eternal, but hath now been mani- 
 fested by the appearing of our Saviour 
 Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and 
 brought life and incorruption to light 
 
 11 through the gospel, whereunto I was 
 appointed a 5 preacher, and an apostle, 
 
 12 and a teacher. For the which cause I 
 suffer also these things : yet I am not 
 ashamed ; for I know him whom I have 
 believed, and I am persuaded that he 
 is able to guard 6 that which I have 
 committed unto him against that day. 
 
 13 Hold the pattern of 7 sound words which 
 thou hast heard from me, in faith and 
 
 14 love which is in Christ Jesus. 8 That 
 good thing which was committed unto 
 thee guard through the 9 Holy Ghost 
 which dwelleth in us. 
 
 15 This thou knowest, that all that are in 
 Asia turned away from me; of whom 
 
 16 are Phygelus and Hermogenes. The 
 Lord grant mercy unto the house of 
 Onesiphorus : for he oft refreshed me, 
 
 17 and was not ashamed of my chain ; but, 
 when he was in Rome, he sought me 
 
 18 diligently, and found me (the Lord grant 
 unto him to find mercy of the Lord in 
 that day) ; and in how many things he 
 
 ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest 
 very well. 
 
 Thou therefore, my child, be strength- 
 ened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 
 
 2 And the things which thou hast heard 
 from me among many witnesses, the 
 same commit thou to faithful men, who 
 shall be able to teach others also. 
 
 3 10 Suffer hardship with me , as a good 
 
 4 soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier on 
 service entangleth himself in the affairs 
 of this life ; that he may please him who 
 
 5 enrolled him as a soldier. And if also 
 a man contend in the games, he is not 
 crowned, except he have contended law- 
 
 6 fully. The husbandman that laboureth 
 must be the first to partake of the fruits. 
 
 7 Consider what Isay ; for the Lord shall 
 give thee understanding in all things. 
 
 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the 
 dead, of the seed of David, according to 
 
 9 my gospel : wherein I suffer hardship 
 unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the 
 
 10 word of God is not bound. Therefore 
 I endure all things for the elect’s sake, 
 that they also may obtain the salvation 
 which is in Christ Jesus with eternal 
 
 11 glory. Faithful is the 11 saying : For if 
 we died with him, we shall also live 
 
 12 with him : if we endure, we shall also 
 reign with him : if we shall deny him, 
 
 13 he also will deny us : if we are faithless, 
 he abideth faithful ; for lie cannot deny 
 himself. 
 
 14 Of these things put them in remem- 
 brance, charging them in the sight of 
 12 the Lord, that they strive not about 
 words, to no profit, to the subverting 
 
 15 of them that hear. Give diligence to 
 present thyself approved unto God, a 
 workman that needeth not to be asham- 
 ed, 13 handling aright the word of truth. 
 
 16 But shun profane babblings : for they 
 
 17 will proceed further in ungodliness, and 
 their word will 14 eat as doth a gangrene : 
 of whom is Hymenseus and Philetus ; 
 
 18 men who concerning the truth have 
 15 erred, saying that 16 the resurrection 
 is past already, and overthrow the faith 
 
 19 of some. Howbeit the firm foundation 
 of God standeth, having this seal, The 
 Lord knoweth them that are his : and, 
 Let every one that nameth the name of 
 the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

 himself from these, he shall be a vessel 
 unto honour, sanctified, meet for the 
 master’s use, prepared unto every good 
 
 22 work. But flee youthful lusts, and fol- 
 low after righteousness, faith, love, 
 peace, with them that call on the Lord 
 
 23 out of a pure heart. But foolish and 
 ignorant questionings refuse, knowing 
 
 24 that they gender strifes. And the 
 Lord’s 1 servant must not strive, hut 
 he gentle towards all, apt to teach, for- 
 
 25 hearing, in meekness 2 correcting them 
 that oppose themselves; if peradven- 
 ture God may give them repentance 
 
 26 unto the knowledge of the truth, and 
 they may 3 recover themselves out of 
 the snare of the devil, having been 
 4 taken captive 5 by the Lord’s servant 
 unto the will of God. 
 
 3 But know this, that in the last days 
 
 2 grievous times shall come. For men 
 shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, 
 boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient 
 
 3 to parents, unthankful, unholy, with- 
 out natural affection, implacable, slan- 
 derers, without self-control, fierce, no 
 
 4 lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, 
 puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather 
 
 5 than lovers of God; holding a form 
 of godliness, but having denied the 
 power thereof: from these also turn 
 
 6 away. For of these are they that creep 
 into houses, and take captive silly 
 women laden with sins, led away by 
 
 7 divers lusts, ever learning, and never 
 able to come to the knowledge of the 
 
 8 truth. And like as Jannes and Jambres 
 withstood Moses, so do these also with- 
 stand the truth ; men corrupted in mind, 
 
 9 reprobate concerning the faith. But 
 they shall proceed no further : for their 
 folly shall be evident unto all men, as 
 
 10 theirs also came to be. But thou didst 
 follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, 
 
 11 faith, longsuffering, love, patience, per- 
 secutions, sufferings ; what things be- 
 fell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lys- 
 tra ; what persecutions I endured : 
 and out of them all the Lord delivered 
 
 12 me. Yea, and all that would live godly 
 in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 
 
 13 But evil men and impostors shall wax 
 worse and worse, deceiving and being 
 
 14 deceived. But abide thou in the things 
 j which thou hast learned and hast been 
 
 assured of, knowing of 6 whom thou 
 | 15 hast learned them; and that from a 
 babe thou hast known the sacred writ- 
 ings which are able to make thee wise 
 unto salvation through faith which is 
 
 16 in Christ Jesus. 7 Every scripture in- 
 spired of God is also profitable for teach- 
 ing, for reproof, for correction, for 8 in- 
 struction which is in righteousness: 
 
 17 that the man of God may be complete, 
 furnished completely unto every good 
 work. 
 
 4 9 1 charge thee in the sight of God, 
 and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge 
 the quick and the dead, and by his ap- 
 
 2 pearing and his kingdom ; preach the 
 word ; be instant in season, out of sea- 
 son ; 10 reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all 
 
 3 longsuffering and teaching. For the 
 time will come when they will not en- 
 dure the 11 sound 12 doctrine ; but, hav- 
 ing itching ears, will heap to them- 
 selves teachers after their own lusts ; 
 
 4 and will turn away their ears from the 
 
 5 truth, and turn aside unto fables. But 
 be thou sober in all things, suffer hard- 
 ship, do the work of an evangelist, 
 
 6 fulfil thy ministry. For I am already 
 being 13 offered, and the time of my 
 
 7 departure is come. I have fought the 
 good fight, I have finished the course, 
 
 81 have kept the faith: henceforth 
 there is laid up for me the crown of 
 righteousness, which the Lord, the 
 righteous judge, shall give to me at that 
 day : and not only to me, but also to 
 all them that have loved his appearing. 
 
 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto 
 
 10 me: for Demas forsook me, having- 
 loved this present 14 world, and went 
 to Thessalonica ; Crescens to 15 Galatia, 
 
 11 Titus to Dalmatia. Only Luke is with 
 me. Take Mark, and bring him with 
 thee : for he is useful to me for minister- 
 
 12 ing. But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus. 
 
 13 The cloke that I left at Troas with 
 Carpus, bring when thou comest, and 
 the books, especially the parchments. 
 
 14 Alexander the coppersmith 16 did me 
 much evil : the Lord will render to him 
 
 15 according to his works: of whom be 
 thou ware also; for he greatly with- 
 
 16 stood our words. At my first defence 
 no one took my part, but all forsook 
 me: may it not be laid to their ac- 
 
 17 count. But the Lord stood by me, 
 and 17 strengthened me ; that through 
 me the 18 message might be fully pro- 
 claimed, and that all the Gentiles might 
 hear: and I was delivered out of the 
 
 18 mouth of the lion. The Lord will de- 
 liver me from every evil work, and will 
 save me unto his heavenly kingdom : 
 to whom be the glory 19 for ever and 
 ever. Amen. 
 
 19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the 
 
 20 house of Onesipliorus. Erastus abode 
 at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at 
 
 21 Miletus sick. Do thy diligence to come

 TITUS. 
 
 1 Paul, a 1 servant of God, and an 
 apostle of Jesus Christ, according to 
 the faith of God’s elect, and the know- 
 ledge of the truth which is according to 
 
 2 godliness, in hope of eternal life, which 
 God, who cannot lie, promised before 
 
 3 times eternal ; but in 2 his own seasons 
 manifested his word in the 3 message, 
 wherewith I was intrusted according 
 to the commandment of God our 
 
 4 Saviour ; to Titus, my true child after 
 a common faith: Grace and peace 
 from God the Father and Christ Jesus 
 our Saviour. 
 
 5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, 
 that thou shouldest set in order the 
 things that were wanting, and appoint 
 elders in every city, as I gave thee 
 
 6 charge; if any man is blameless, the 
 husband of one wife, having children 
 that believe, who are not accused of 
 
 7 riot or unruly. For the 4 bishop must 
 be blameless, as God’s steward; not 
 selfwilled, not soon angry, 5 no brawler, 
 no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre ; 
 
 Shut given to hospitality, a lover of 
 good, soberminded, just, holy, tem- 
 
 9 perate ; holding to the faithful word 
 which is according to the teaching, that 
 he may be able both to exhort in the 
 6 sound 7 doctrine, and to convict the 
 gainsay ers. 
 
 10 For there are many unruly men, vain 
 talkers and deceivers, specially they of 
 
 11 the circumcision, whose mouths must 
 be stopped ; men who overthrow whole 
 houses, teaching things which they 
 
 12 ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. One 
 of themselves, a prophet of their own, 
 said, Cretans are alway liars, evil 
 
 13 beasts, idle 8 gluttons. This testimony 
 is true. For which cause reprove them 
 sharply, that they may be 9 sound in the 
 
 14 faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables, 
 and commandments of men who turn 
 
 15 away from the truth. To the pure all 
 I things are pure: but to them that 
 
 are defiled and unbelieving nothing is 
 pure; but both their mind and their 
 
 16 conscience are defiled. They profess 
 that they know God; but by tlieir 
 works they deny him, being abomina- 
 ble, and disobedient, and unto every 
 good work reprobate. 
 
 2 But speak thou the things which 
 
 2 befit the 6 sound 7 doctrine : that aged 
 men be temperate, grave, soberminded, 
 9 sound in faith, in love, in patience : 
 
 3 that aged women likewise be reverent 
 in demeanour, not slanderers nor en- 
 slaved to much wine, teachers of that 
 
 4 which is good; that they may train 
 
 the young women to love their hus- 
 
 5 bands, to love their children, to be 
 soberminded, chaste, workers at home, 
 kind, being in subjection to their own 
 husbands, that the word of God be 
 
 6 not blasphemed: the younger men 
 
 7 likewise exhort to be soberminded : in 
 all things shewing thyself an ensample 
 of good works ; in thy doctrine she wing 
 
 8 uncorruxitness, gravity, sound speech, 
 that cannot be condemned ; that he 
 that is of the contrary j>art may be 
 ashamed, having no evil thing to say 
 
 9 of us. Exhort 10 servants to be in 
 subjection to their own masters, and 
 to be well-pleasing to them in all things ; 
 
 10 not gainsaying; not purloining, but 
 shewing all good fidelity; that they 
 may adorn the doctrine of God our 
 
 11 Saviour in all things. For the grace 
 of God 11 hath appeared, bringing salva- 
 
 12 tion to all men, instructing us, to the 
 intent that, denying ungodliness and 
 worldly lusts, we should live soberly 
 and righteously and godly in this 
 
 13 present 12 world; looking for the bless- 
 ed hope and appearing of the glory 
 13 of our great God and Saviour Jesus 
 
 14 Christ ; who gave himself for us, that 
 he might redeem us from all iniquity, 
 and purify unto himself a peoxile for 
 his own x>ossession, zealous of good 
 works. 
 
 15 These things speak and exhort and 
 reprove with all 14 authority. Let no 
 man despise thee. 
 
 3 But them in mind to be in subjec- 
 tion to rulers, to authorities, to be 
 obedient, to be ready unto every good 
 
 2 work, to speak evil of no man, not 
 to be contentious, to be gentle, shew- 
 
 3 ing all meekness toward all men. For 
 we also were aforetime foolish, disobe- 
 dient, deceived, serving divers lusts and 
 pleasures, living in malice and envy, 
 
 4 hateful, hating one another. But when 
 the kindness of God our Saviour, and 
 
 5 his love toward man, appeared, not 
 by works done in righteousness, which 
 we did ourselves, but according to 
 his mercy he saved us, through the 
 15 washing of regeneration 16 and re- 
 
 6newing of the 17 Holy Ghost, which 
 he poured out upon us richly, through 
 
 7 Jesus Christ our Saviour ; that, being 
 justified by his grace, we might be 
 made 18 heirs according to the hoxie of 
 
 8 eternal life. Faithful is the saying, and 
 concerning these things I will that thou 
 affirm confidently, to the end that they 
 which have believed God may be careful 
 to 19 maintain good works . These things

 over his 
 gifts 
 
 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we 
 have received the knowledge of the 
 truth, there remaineth no more a sacri- 
 
 27 lice for sins, hut a certain fearful ex- 
 pectation of judgement, and a 1 fierce- 
 ness of fire which shall devour the 
 
 28 adversaries. A man that hath set at 
 nought Moses’ law dietli without com- 
 passion on the word of two or three 
 
 29 witnesses : of how much sorer punish- 
 ment, think ye, shall he be judged 
 worthy, who hath trodden under foot 
 the Son of God, and hath counted the 
 blood of the covenant, wherewith he 
 was sanctified, 2 an unholy thing, and 
 hath done despite unto the Spirit of 
 
 30 grace? For we know him that said, 
 Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will 
 recompense. And again, The Lord shall 
 
 31 judge his people. It is a fearful thing 
 to fall into the hands of the living God. 
 
 32 But call to remembrance the former 
 days, in which, after ye were enlight- 
 ened, ye endured a great conflict of 
 
 33 sufferings ; partly, being made a gazing- 
 stock both by reproaches and afflictions; 
 and partly, becoming partakers with 
 
 34 them that were so used. For ye both 
 had compassion on them that were in 
 bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of 
 your possessions, knowing 3 that 4 ye 
 yourselves have a better possession and 
 
 35 an abiding one. Cast not away there- 
 fore your boldness, which hath great 
 
 36 recompense of reward. For ye have 
 need of patience, that, having done the 
 will of God, ye may receive the promise. 
 
 37 For yet a very little while, 
 
 He that cometh shall come, and shall 
 not tarry. 
 
 38 But 5 my righteous one shall live by 
 
 faith : 
 
 And if he shrink back, my soul hath 
 no pleasure in him. 
 
 39 But we are not 6 of them that shrink 
 back unto perdition; but of them that 
 have faith unto the 7 saving of the soul. 
 
 11 Now faith is 8 the assurance of things 
 hoped for, the 9 proving of things not 
 
 2 seen. For therein the elders had 
 
 3 witness borne to them. By faith we 
 understand that the 10 worlds have been 
 framed by the word of God, so that 
 what is seen hath not been made out 
 
 4 of things which do appear. By faith 
 Abel offered unto God a more excellent 
 sacrifice than Cain, through which he 
 had witness borne to him that he was 
 righteous, 11 God bearing witness 12 in 
 respect of his gifts : and through it he 
 
 5 being dead yet speaketh. By faith 
 Enoch was translated that he should 
 not see death ; and he was not found, 
 because God translated him : for before 
 his translation he hath had witness 
 borne to him that he had been well- 
 
 6 pleasing unto God : and without faith 
 it is impossible to be well-pleasing 
 unto him : for he that cometh to God 
 
 must believe that he is, and that he is 
 a rewarder of them that seek after him. 
 
 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God 
 concerning things not seen as yet, moved 
 with godly fear, prepared an ark to the 
 saving of his house ; through which he 
 condemned the world, and became heir 
 of the righteousness which is according 
 
 8 to faith. By faith Abraham, when he was 
 called, obeyed to go out unto a place 
 which he was to receive for an inherit- 
 ance; and he went out, not knowing whi- 
 
 9 ther he went. By faith he became a so- 
 journer in the land of promise, as in a 
 Zawdnotliis own, 13 dwelling in tents, with 
 Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of 
 
 10 the same promise : for he looked for the 
 city which hath the foundations, whose 
 
 11 14 builder and maker is God. By faith 
 even Sarah herself received power to 
 conceive seed when she was past age, 
 since she counted him faithful who 
 
 12 had promised: wherefore also there 
 sprang of one, and him as good as dead, 
 so many as the stars of heaven in 
 multitude, and as the sand, which is 
 by the sea shore, innumerable. 
 
 13 These all died 15 in faith, not having 
 received the promises, but having seen 
 them and greeted them from afar, and 
 having confessed that they were stran- 
 
 14 gers and pilgrims on the earth. For 
 they that say such things make it 
 manifest that they are seeking after a 
 
 15 country of their own. And if indeed 
 they had been mindful of that country 
 from which they went out, they would 
 
 16 have had opportunity to return. But 
 now they desire a better country , that 
 is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not 
 ashamed of them, to be called their God: 
 for he hath prepared for them a city. 
 
 17 By faith Abraham, being tried, 16 of- 
 fered up Isaac : yea, he that had gladly 
 received the promises was offering up 
 
 18 his only begotten sow; even he 17 to 
 whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy 
 
 19 seed be called : accounting that God is 
 able to raise up, even from the dead ; 
 from whence he did also in a parable 
 
 20 receive him back. By faith Isaac 
 blessed Jacob and Esau, even concern - 
 
 21ing things to come. By faith Jacob, 
 when he was a dying, blessed each of 
 the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, 
 
 22 leaning upon the top of his staff. By 
 faith Joseph, when his end w T as nigh, 
 made mention of the departure of the 
 children of Israel ; and gave command- 
 
 23 ment concerning his bones. By faith 
 Moses, when he was born, was hid 
 three months by his parents, because 
 they saw he was a goodly child ; and 
 they were not afraid of the king’s com- 
 
 24mandment. By faith Moses, when he 
 was grown up, refused to be called the 
 
 25 son of Pharaoh’s daughter; choos- 
 ing rather to be evil entreated with 
 the people of God, than to enjoy the

 than the treasures of Egypt : for he look- 
 
 27 ed unto the recompense of reward. By 
 faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the 
 wrath of the king : for he endured, as 
 
 28 seeing him who is invisible. By faith he 
 2 kept the passover, and the sprinkling 
 of the blood, that the destroyer of the 
 
 29 firstborn should not touch them. By 
 faith they passed through the Red sea 
 as by dry land: which the Egyptians 
 
 30 assaying to do were swallowed up. By 
 faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after 
 they had been compassed about for 
 
 31 seven days. By faith Raliab the harlot 
 perished not with them that were diso- 
 bedient, having received the spies with 
 
 32 peace. And what shall I more say ? for 
 the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, 
 Barak, Samson, Jeplitliah; of David and 
 
 33 Samuel and the prophets : who through 
 faith subdued kingdoms, wrought right- 
 eousness, obtained promises, stopped 
 
 34 the mouths of lions, quenched the power 
 of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, 
 from weakness were made strong, wax- 
 ed mighty in war, turned to flight armies 
 
 35 of aliens. Women received their dead 
 by a resurrection : and others were tor- 
 tured, not accepting 4 their deliverance; 
 that they might obtain a better resur- 
 
 36 rection: and others had trial of mocldngs 
 and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds 
 
 37 and imprisonment : they were stoned, 
 they were sawn asunder, they were 
 tempted, they were slain with the sword: 
 they went about in sheepskins, in goat- 
 skins ; being destitute, afflicted, evil en- 
 
 38 treated (of whom the world was not 
 worthy), wandering in deserts and 
 mountains and caves, and the holes of 
 
 39 the earth. And these all, having had 
 witness borne to them through their 
 
 40 faith, received not the promise, God 
 having 5 provided some better thing con- 
 cerning us, that apart from us they 
 should not be made perfect. 
 
 12 Therefore let us also, seeing we are 
 compassed about with so great a cloud of 
 witnesses, lay aside 6 every weight, and 
 the sin which 7 doth so easily beset us, 
 and let us run with patience the race that 
 
 2 is set before us, looking unto Jesus the 
 8 author and perfecter of our faith, who 
 for the joy that was set before him en- 
 dured the cross, despising shame, and 
 hath sat down at the right hand of the 
 
 3 throne of God. Eor consider him that 
 hath endured such gainsaying of sinners 
 against 9 themselves, that ye wax not 
 
 4 weary, faulting in your souls. Ye have 
 not yet resisted unto blood, striving 
 
 5 against sin : and ye have forgotten the 
 exhortation, which reasoneth with you 
 as with sons, 
 
 My son, regard not lightly the clias- 
 tening of the Lord, 
 
 Is or faint when thou art reproved 
 
 of him ; 
 
 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chas- 
 teneth, 
 
 And scourgeth every son whom he 
 receiveth. 
 
 7 10 It is for chastening that ye endure ; 
 God dealeth with you as with sons ; 
 for what son is there whom his father 
 8chasteneth not? But if ye are with- 
 out chastening, whereof all have been 
 made partakers, then are ye bastards, 
 9 and not sons. Furthermore, we had 
 the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, 
 and we gave them reverence: shall 
 we not much rather be in subjection 
 unto the Father of 11 spirits, and live? 
 
 10 For they verily for a few days chas- 
 tened us as seemed good to them ; but

 root of bitterness springing up trouble 
 you, and thereby the many be defiled ; 
 
 16 14 lest there he any fornicator, or pro- 
 fane person, as Esau, who for one mess 
 
 17 of meat sold his own birthright. For 
 ye know that even when he afterward 
 desired to inherit the blessing, he was 
 rejected (for he found no place of repen- 
 tance), though he sought it diligently

 among them, in seeing and hearing,

 9 day with their lawless deeds) : the Lord 
 lmoweth how to deliver the godly out 
 of temptation, and to keep the unright- 
 eous under punishment unto the day of 
 
 10 judgement ; but chiefly them that walk 
 after the flesh in the lust of defile- 
 ment, and despise dominion. Daring, 
 selfwilled, they tremble not to rail at 
 
 11 2 dignities : whereas angels, though 
 greater in might and power, bring not 
 a railing judgement against them before 
 
 12 the Lord. But these, as creatures with- 
 out reason, born 3 mere animals 4 to be 
 taken and destroyed, railing in matters 
 whereof they are ignorant, shall in 
 their 5 destroying surely be destroyed, 
 
 13 suffering wrong as the hire of wrong- 
 doing; men that count it pleasure to 
 revel in the day-time, spots and ble- 
 mishes, revelling in their 6 love-feasts 
 
 14 while they feast with you ; having eyes 
 full of 7 adultery, and that cannot cease 
 from sin ; enticing unstedfast souls ; 
 having a heart exercised in covetous- 
 
 15 ness; children of cursing; forsaking 
 the right way, they went astray, having 
 followed the way of Balaam the son of 
 8 Beor, who loved the hire of wrong- 
 
 16 doing ; but he was rebuked for his own 
 transgression : a dumb ass spake with 
 man’s voice and stayed the madness of 
 
 17 the prophet. These are springs with- 
 out water, and mists driven by a storm ; 
 for whom the blackness of darkness hath 
 
 18 been reserved. For, uttering great 
 swelling words of vanity, they entice in 
 the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, 
 those who are just escaping from them 
 
 19 that live in error ; promising them liber- 
 ty, while they themselves are bondser- 
 vants of corruption; for of 9 whom a man 
 is overcome, of the same is he also 
 
 20 brought into bondage. For if, after they 
 have escaped the defilements of the 
 world through the knowledge of 10 the 
 Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are 
 again entangled therein and overcome, 
 the last state is become worse with 
 
 21 them than the first. For it were 
 better for them not to have known 
 the way of righteousness, than, after 
 knowing it, to turn back from the 
 holy commandment delivered unto 
 
 22 them. It has happened unto them 
 according to the true proverb, The 
 dog turning to his own vomit again, 
 and the sow that had washed to wal- 
 lowing in the mire. 
 
 3 This is now, beloved, the second 
 epistle that I write unto you; and 
 in both of them I stir up your sincere 
 mind by putting you in remembrance ; 
 
 2 that ye should remember the words 
 which were spoken before by the 
 
 holy prophets, and the commandment 
 of the Lord and Saviour through your 
 
 3 apostles: knowing this first, that 11 in 
 the last days mockers shall come with 
 mockery, walking after their own lusts, 
 
 4 and saying, Where is the promise of 
 his 12 coming? for, from the day that 
 the fathers fell asleep, all things con- 
 tinue as they were from the beginning 
 
 5 of the creation. For this they wilfully 
 forget, that there were heavens from 
 of old, and an earth compacted out of 
 water and 13 amidst water, by the word 
 
 6 of God; by which means the world 
 that then was, being overflowed with 
 
 7 water, perished : but the heavens that 
 now are, and the earth, by the same 
 word have been 14 stored up for fire, 
 being reserved against the day of judge- 
 ment and destruction of ungodly men. 
 
 8 But forget not this one thing, beloved, 
 that one day is with the Lord as a thou- 
 sand years, and a thousand years as 
 
 9 one day. The Lord is not slack con- 
 cerning his promise, as some count 
 slackness ; but is longsuffering to you- 
 ward, not wishing that any should 
 perish, but that all should come to re- 
 
 10 pentance. But the day of the Lord will 
 come as a thief; in the which the 
 heavens shall pass away with a great 
 noise, and the 15 elements shall be dis- 
 solved with fervent heat, and the earth 
 and the works that are therein shall be 
 
 11 16 burned up. Seeing that these things 
 are thus all to be dissolved, what man- 
 ner of persons ought ye to be in all holy 
 
 12 living and godliness, looking for and 
 17 earnestly desiring the 12 coming of the 
 day of God, by reason of which the hea- 
 vens being on fire shall be dissolved, and 
 the 15 elements shall melt with fervent 
 
 13 heat? But, according to his promise, we 
 look for new heavens and a new earth, 
 wherein dwelleth righteousness. 
 
 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look 
 for these things, give diligence that ye 
 may be found in peace, without spot and 
 
 15 blameless in his sight. And account that 
 the longsuffering of our Lord is salva- 
 tion ; even as our beloved brother Paul 
 also, according to the wisdom given to 
 
 16 him, wrote unto you ; as also in all his 
 epistles, speaking in them of these 
 things ; wherein are some things hard 
 to be understood, which the ignorant 
 and unstedfast wrest, as they do also 
 the other scriptures, unto their own 
 
 17 destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, 
 knowing these things beforehand, be- 
 ware lest, being carried away with the 
 error of the wicked, ye fall from your 
 
 18 own stedfastness. But grow in the 
 grace and knowledge of our Lord and 
 Saviour Jesus Christ. To him he the 
 glory both now and 18 for ever. Amen.

 1 That which was from the beginning, 
 that which we have heard, that which 
 we have seen with our eyes, that which 
 we beheld, and our hands handled, con- 
 
 2cerning the 1 Word of life (and the life 
 was manifested, and we have seen, and 
 bear witness, and declare unto you the 
 life, the eternal life , which was with 
 the Father, and was manifested unto 
 
 3 us) ; that which we have seen and heard 
 declare we unto you also, that ye also 
 may have fellowship with us : yea, and 
 our fellowship is with the Father, and 
 
 4 with his Son Jesus Christ : and these 
 things we write, that 2 our joy may he 
 fulfilled. 
 
 5 And this is the message which we have 
 heard from him, and announce unto 
 you, that God is light, and in him is no 
 
 6 darkness at all. If we say that we have 
 fellowship with him, and walk in the 
 darkness, we lie, and do not the truth : 
 
 7 hut if we walk in the light, as he is in 
 the light, we have fellowship one with 
 another, and the blood of Jesus his Son 
 
 Scleanseth us from all sin. If we say 
 that we have no sin, we deceive our- 
 
 9 selves, and the truth is not in us. If 
 we confess our sins, he is faithful and 
 righteous to forgive us our sins, and to 
 cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 
 
 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we 
 make him a liar, and his word is not 
 in us. 
 
 2 My little children, these things write 
 I unto you, that ye may not sin. And 
 if any man sin, we have an 3 Advocate 
 with the Father, Jesus Christ the riglit- 
 
 2eous: and he is the propitiation for 
 our sins; and not for ours only, but 
 
 3 also for the whole world. And hereby 
 know we that we know him, if we keep 
 
 4 his commandments. He that saith, I 
 know him, and keepeth not his com- 
 mandments, is a liar, and the truth is 
 
 5 not in him : hut whoso keepeth his word, 
 in him verily hath the love of God been 
 perfected. Hereby know we that we 
 
 G are in him : he that saith he abideth in 
 him ought himself also to walk even as 
 he walked. 
 
 7 Beloved, no new commandment write 
 I unto you, but an old commandment 
 which ye had from the beginning: 
 the old commandment is the word 
 
 8 which ye heard. Again, a new com- 
 mandment write I unto you, which thing 
 is true in him and in you ; because the 
 darkness is passing away, and the true 
 
 Slight already sliineth. He that saith 
 he is in the light, and hateth his bro- 
 
 ther, is in the darkness even until now. 
 
 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in 
 the light, and there is none occasion 
 
 11 of stumbling in him. But he that 
 hateth his brother is in the darkness, 
 and walketh in the darkness, and know - 
 eth not whither he goetli, because the 
 darkness hath blinded his eyes. 
 
 12 I write unto you, my little children, 
 because your sins are forgiven you for 
 
 13 his name’s sake. I write unto you, 
 fathers, because ye know him which is 
 from the beginning. I write unto you, 
 young men, because ye have overcome 
 the evil one. 4 1 have written unto you, 
 little children, because ye know the 
 
 14 Father. 4 1 have written unto you, 
 fathers, because ye know him which is 
 from the beginning. 4 1 have written 
 unto you, young men, because ye are 
 strong, and the word of God abideth 
 in you, and ye have overcome the evil 
 
 15 one. Love not the world, neither the 
 things that are in the world. If any 
 man love the world, the love of the 
 
 16 Father is not in him. For all that is 
 in the world, the lust of the flesh, and 
 the lust of the eyes, and the vainglory 
 of life, is not of the Father, but is of 
 
 17 the world. And the world passetli 
 away, and the lust thereof: but he 
 that doeth the will of God abideth for 
 ever. 
 
 18 Little children, it is the last hour: 
 and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, 
 even now have there arisen many 
 antichrists ; whereby we know that it 
 
 19 is the last hour. They went out from us, 
 but they were not of us; for if they 
 had been of us, they would have con- 
 tinued with us : but they went out , that 
 they might be made manifest 5 how 
 
 20 that they all are not of us. And ye 
 have an anointing from the Holy One, 
 
 21 3 and ye know all things. I have not 
 written unto you because ye know not 
 the truth, but because ye know it, and 
 
 22 7 because no lie is of the truth. Who 
 is the liar but he that denieth that 
 Jesus is the Christ ? This is the anti- 
 christ, even he that denieth the Father 
 
 23 and the Son. Whosoever denieth the 
 Son, the same hath not the Father : he 
 that confesseth the Son hath the Father 
 
 24 also. As for you, let that abide in 
 you which ye heard from the begin- 
 ning. If that which ye heard from 
 the beginning abide in you, ye also 
 shall abide in the Son, and in the 
 
 25 Father. And this is the promise which 
 he promised 8 us, even the life eternal.

 we love the brethren. He that loveth

 love ; and he that abideth in love abid- 
 eth in God, and God abideth in him. 
 
 17 Herein is love made perfect with us, 
 that we may have boldness in the day 
 of judgement ; because as he is, even so 
 
 18 are we in this world. There is no fear 
 in love: hut perfect love casteth out 
 fear, because fear hath punishment ; 
 and he that feareth is not made perfect 
 
 19 in love. We love, because he first loved 
 
 ‘20 us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth 
 
 his brother, he is a liar : for he that 
 loveth not his brother whom he hath 
 seen, 1 cannot love God whom he hath 
 
 *21 not seen. And this commandment have 
 we from him, that he who loveth God 
 love his brother also. 
 
 5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the 
 Christ is begotten of God : and whoso- 
 ever loveth him that begat loveth him 
 
 2 also that is begotten of him. Hereby 
 we know that we love the children of 
 God; when we love God, and do his 
 
 3 commandments. For this is the love of 
 God, that we keep his commandments : 
 and his commandments are not griev- 
 
 4 ous. For whatsoever is begotten of God 
 overcometh the world : and this is the 
 victory that hath overcome the world, 
 
 5 even our faith. And who is he that over- 
 cometh the world, but he that believeth 
 
 6 that Jesus is the Son of God? This is 
 he that came by water and blood, even 
 Jesus Christ ; not 2 with the water only, 
 but 2 with the water and 2 * with the 
 
 7 blood. And it is the Spirit that bear- 
 eth witness, because the Spirit is the 
 
 8 truth. For there are three who bear 
 witness, the Spirit, and the water, and 
 the blood: and the three agree in one. 
 
 9 If we receive the witness of men, the 
 witness of God is greater : for the wit- 
 ness of God is this, that he hath borne 
 
 10 witness concerning his Son. He that 
 believeth on the Son of God hath the 
 witness in him : he that believeth not 
 God hath made him a liar; because 
 he hath not believed in the witness that 
 God hath borne concerning his Son. 
 
 11 And the witness is this, that God gave 
 unto us eternal life, and this life is 
 
 1*2 in his Son. He that hath the Son 
 hath the life; he that hath not the 
 Son of God hath not the life. 
 
 13 These’ things have I written unto 
 you, that ye may know that ye have 
 eternal life, even unto you that believe 
 
 14 on the name of the Son of God. And 
 this is the boldness which we have to- 
 ward him, that, if we ask anything 
 according to his will, he heareth us : 
 
 15 and if we know that he heareth us what- 
 soever we ask, we know that we have 
 the petitions which we have asked of 
 
 16 him. If any man see his brother sin- 
 ning a sin not unto death, 8 he shall 
 ask, and God will give him life for 
 them that sin not unto death. There 
 is 4 a sin unto death : not concern- 
 ing this do I say that he should make 
 
 17 request. All unrighteousness is sin: 
 and there is 4 a sin not unto death. 
 
 18 We know that whosoever is begotten 
 of God sinneth not ; but he that was 
 begotten of God keepeth 5 him, and the 
 
 19 evil one touche th him not. We know 
 that we are of God, and the whole 
 
 20 world lieth in the evil one. And 
 we know that the Son of God is 
 come, and hath given us an under- 
 standing, that we know him that is 
 true, and we are in him that is true, 
 even in his Son Jesus Christ. This 
 
 21 is the true God, and eternal life. My 
 little children, guard yourselves from 
 idols.

 JOHN. 
 
 1 The elder unto the elect lady and her 
 children, whom I love in truth ; and not 
 I only, but also all they that know the 
 
 2 truth; for the truth’s sake which abideth 
 in us, and it shall be with us for ever: 
 
 3 Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from 
 God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, 
 the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 
 
 4 I rejoice greatly that I have found 
 certain of thy children walking in truth, 
 even as we received commandment 
 
 5 from the Father. And now I beseech 
 thee, lady, not as though I wrote to 
 thee a new commandment, but that 
 which we had from the beginning, 
 
 6 that we love one another. And this 
 
 is love, that we should walk after his 
 
 commandments. This is the command- 
 ment, even as ye heard from the be- 
 ginning, that ye should walk in it. 
 
 7 For many deceivers are gone forth 
 into the world, even they that confess 
 not that Jesus Christ cometh in the 
 flesh. This is the deceiver and the 
 
 8 antichrist. Look to yourselves, that 
 ye Hose not the things which 2 we have 
 wrought, but that ye receive a full re- 
 
 9 ward. Whosoever 3 goeth onward and 
 abideth not in the teaching of Christ, 
 hath not God: he that abideth in 
 the teaching, the same hath both the 
 
 10 Father and the Son. If any one cometh 
 unto you, and bringeth not this teach-

 and patience ichich are in Jesus, was in 
 the isle that is called Patmos, for the 
 word of God and the testimony of Je- 
 
 10 sus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s 
 day, and I heard behind me a great

 it to the seven churches ; unto Ephe- 
 sus, and unto Smyrna, and unto 
 Pergamum, and unto Tliyatira, and 
 unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia,

 And having turned I saw seven golden

 10 candlesticks one like unto 11 a son of 
 man, clothed with a garment down to 
 the foot, and girt about at the breasts 
 14 with a golden girdle. And his head 
 and his hair were white as white wool, 
 ivhite as snow; and his eyes were 
 15 as a flame of fire; and his feet like 
 unto burnished brass, as if it had been 
 refined in a furnace; and his voice 
 16 as the voice of many waters. And he 
 had in his right hand seven stars: 
 and out of his mouth proceeded a

 Fear not ; I am the first and the last, 
 
 18 and the Living one; and I 4 was dead, 
 and behold, I am alive 2 for evermore, 
 and I have the keys of death and of 
 
 19 Hades. Write therefore the things 
 which thou sawest, and the things 
 which are, and the things which shall 
 
 20 come to pass hereafter ; the mystery 
 of the seven stars which tlion sawest 
 
 3 in my right hand, and the seven golden 
 
 4 candlesticks. The seven stars are the 
 angels of the seven churches : and the 
 seven 4 candlesticks are seven churches. 
 
 2 To the angel of the church in Ephesus 
 write ; 
 
 These things saitli he that lioldetli the 
 seven stars in his right hand, he that 
 walketh in the midst of the seven golden 
 
 2 4 candlesticks: I know thy works, and 
 thy toil and patience, and that thou 
 canst not bear evil men, and didst try 
 them which call themselves apostles, 
 and they are not, and didst find them 
 
 3 false ; and thou hast patience and didst 
 bear for my name’s sake, and hast not 
 
 4 grown weary. But I have this against 
 thee, that thou didst leave thy first 
 
 5 love . Rem ember therefore from whence 
 thou art fallen, and repent, and do the 
 first works; or else I come to thee, 
 and will move thy 5 candlestick out of 
 
 6 its place, except thou repent. But this 
 thou hast, that thou hatest the works 
 of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 
 
 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what 
 the Spirit saith to the churches. To 
 him that over cometh, to him will I 
 give to eat of the tree of life, which 
 is in the 6 Paradise of God. 
 
 8 And to the angel of the church in 
 Smyrna write ; 
 
 These things saith the first and the 
 last, which 1 was dead, and lived again : 
 
 9 1 know thy tribulation, and thy poverty 
 (but thou art rich), and the 7 blasphemy 
 of them which say they are Jews, and 
 they are not, but are a synagogue of 
 
 10 Satan. Fear not the things which thou 
 art about to suffer : behold, the devil 
 is about to cast some of you into prison, 
 that ye may be tried; 8 and ye shall 
 have 9 tribulation ten days. Be thou 
 faithful unto death, and I will give thee 
 
 11 the crown of life. He that hath an ear, 
 let him hear what the Spirit saith to 
 the churches. He that overcometli 
 shall not be hurt of the second death. 
 
 12 And to the angel of the church in 
 Pergamum write ; 
 
 These things saith he that hath the 
 
 13 sharp two-edged sword : I know where 
 thou dwellest, even where Satan’s 
 throne is: and thou boldest fast my 
 name, and didst not deny my faith, 
 even in the days 10 of Antipas my 
 witness, my faithful one, who was 
 killed among you, where Satan dwelleth. 
 
 14 But I have a few things against thee, 
 because thou hast there some that hold 
 the teaching of Balaam, who taught 
 Balak to cast a stumblingblock before 
 the children of Israel, to eat things 
 sacrificed to idols, and to commit for- 
 
 15 nication. So hast thou also some that 
 hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in 
 
 16 like manner. Repent therefore ; or else 
 I come to thee quickly, and I will make 
 war against them with the sword of my 
 
 17 mouth. He that hath an ear, let him 
 hear what the Spirit saith to the

 18 And to the angel of the church in 
 Tliyatira write ; 
 
 These things saith the Son of God, 
 who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, 
 and his feet are like unto burnished 
 
 19 brass : I know thy works, and thy love 
 and faith and ministry and patience, 
 and that thy last works are more than 
 
 20 the first. But I have this against thee, 
 that thou sufferest 11 the woman Jeze- 
 bel, which calleth herself a prophetess ; 
 and she teacheth and seduceth my ser- 
 vants to commit fornication, and to eat 
 
 21 things sacrificed to idols. And I gave 
 her time that she should repent ; and 
 she willeth not to repent of her fornica- 
 
 22 tion. Behold, I do cast her into a bed, 
 and them that commit adultery with 
 her into great tribulation, except they 
 
 23 repent of 12 her works. And I will kill 
 her children with 13 death ; and all the 
 churches shall know that I am he 
 which searchetli the reins and hearts : 
 and I will give unto each one of you 
 
 24 according to your works. But to you 
 I say, to the rest that are in Tliyatira, 
 as many as have not this teaching, 
 which know not the deep things of 
 Satan, as they say; I cast upon you 
 
 25 none other burden. Howbeit that which 
 
 26 ye have, hold fast till I come. And 
 lie that overcometli, and he that keep- 
 eth my works unto the end, to him will 
 
 27 1 give authority over the nations : and 
 he shall rule them with a rod of 14 iron, 
 as the vessels of the potter are broken to 
 shivers ; as I also have received of my 
 
 28 Father : and I will give him the morning 
 
 29 star. He that hath an ear, let him hear 
 what the Spirit saith to the churches. 
 
 3 And to the angel of the church in 
 Sardis write ; 
 
 These things saith he that hath the se- 
 ven Spirits of God, and the seven stars : 
 I know thy works, that thou hast a name 
 
 2 that thou livest, and thou art dead. Be 
 thou watchful, and stablish the things 
 that remain, which were ready to die: 
 for I have 15 found no works of thine

 therefore how thou hast received and

 didst hear; and keep it, and repent. 
 If therefore thon shalt not watch, I will 
 come as a thief, and thou shalt not know 
 
 4 what hour I will come upon thee. But 
 thou hast a few names in Sardis which 
 did not defile their garments : and they 
 shall walk with me in white ; for they 
 
 5 are worthy. He that overcometh shall 
 thus be arrayed in white garments ; and 
 I will in no wise blot his name out of the 
 book of life, and I will confess his name 
 before my Father, and before his angels. 
 
 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear 
 what the Spirit saith to the churches. 
 
 7 And to the angel of the church in 
 Philadelphia write ; 
 
 These things saith he that is holy, he 
 that is true, he that hath the key of 
 David, he that openetli, and none shall 
 shut, and that shutteth, and none 
 
 8 openeth : I know thy works (behold, I 
 have x set before thee a door opened, 
 which none can shut), that thou hast a 
 little power, and didst keep my word, 
 
 9 and didst not deny my name. Behold, 
 I give of the synagogue of Satan, of 
 them which say they are Jews, and they 
 are not, but do lie ; behold, I will make 
 them to come and worship before thy 
 feet, and to know that I have loved 
 
 10 thee. Because thou didst keep the word 
 of my patience, I also will keep thee 
 from the hour of 2 trial, that hour which 
 is to come upon the whole 3 world, to 
 4 try them that dwell upon the earth. 
 
 11 1 come quickly : hold fast that which 
 thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 
 
 12 He that overcometh, I will make him a 
 pillar in the 5 temple of my God, and he 
 shall go out thence no more : and I will 
 write upon him the name of my God, 
 and the name of the city of my God, 
 the new Jerusalem, which cometli 
 down out of heaven from my God, and 
 
 13 mine own new name. He that hath an 
 ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith 
 to the churches. 
 
 14 And to the angel of the church in 
 Laodicea write ; 
 
 These things saith the Amen, the 
 faithful and true witness, the beginning 
 
 15 of the creation of God: I know thy 
 works, that thou art neither cold nor 
 
 16 hot : I would thou wert cold or hot. So 
 because thou art lukewarm, and neither 
 hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my 
 
 17 mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, 
 and have gotten riches, and have need 
 of nothing ; and knowest not that thou 
 art the wretched one and miserable and 
 
 18 poor and blind and naked: I counsel 
 thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, 
 that thou mayest become rich; and 
 white garments, that thou mayest 
 clothe thyself, and that the shame of 
 thy nakedness be not made manifest ; 
 and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that 
 
 19 thou mayest see. As many as I love, 
 I reprove and chasten : be zealous 
 
 20 therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand 
 at the door and knock : if any man hear 
 my voice and open the door, I will come 
 in to him, and will sup with him, and 
 
 21 he with me. He that overcometh, I 
 will give to him to sit down with me in 
 my throne, as I also overcame, and sat 
 down with my Father in his throne. 
 
 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what 
 the Spirit saith to the churches. 
 
 4 After these things I saw, and behold, 
 a door opened in heaven, and the first 
 voice which I heard, a voice as of a 
 trumpet speaking with me, one saying, 
 Come up hither, and I will shew thee 
 the things which must 6 come to pass 
 
 2 hereafter. Straightway I was in the 
 Spirit : and behold, there was a throne 
 set in heaven, and one sitting upon the 
 
 3 throne; and he that sat was to look 
 upon like a jasper stone and a sardius : 
 and there was a rainbow round about 
 the throne, like an emerald to look upon. 
 
 4 And round about the throne were four 
 and twenty thrones : and upon the 
 thrones I saw four and twenty elders 
 sitting, arrayed in white garments; 
 and on their heads crowns of gold. 
 
 5 And out of the throne proceed light- 
 nings and voices and thunders. And 
 there were seven lamps of fire burning 
 before the throne, which are the seven 
 
 6 Spirits of God ; and before the throne, 
 as it were a glassy sea like unto crystal ; 
 and in the midst of the throne, and round 
 about the throne, four living creatures 
 
 7 full of eyes before and behind. And 
 the first creature was like a lion, and 
 the second creature like a calf, and the 
 third creature had a face as of a man, 
 and the fourth creature was like a flying 
 
 8 eagle. And the four living creatures, 
 having each one of them six wings, are 
 full of eyes round about and within : and 
 they have no rest day and night, saying, 
 Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God, the 
 Almighty, which was and which is and 
 
 9 7 which is to com e . And when the living 
 creatures shall give glory and honour 
 and thanks to him that sitteth on the 
 throne, to him that liveth 8 for ever and 
 
 10 ever, the four and twenty elders shall 
 fall down before him that sitteth on the 
 throne, and shall worship him that liveth 
 8 for ever and ever, and shall cast their 
 
 11 crowns before the throne, saying, Wor- 
 thy art thou, our Lord and our God, to 
 receive the glory and the honour and 
 the power: for thou didst create all 
 things, and because of thy will they 
 were, and were created. 
 
 3 And I saw 9 in the right hand of 
 him that sat on the throne a book 
 written within and on the back, 
 
 2 close sealed with seven seals. And 
 I saw a strong angel proclaiming 
 with a great voice, Who is worthy 
 to open the book, and to loose the

 four and twenty elders fell down before

 golden bowls full of incense, which are 
 
 9 the prayers of the saints. And they 
 sing a new song, saying, Worthy art 
 thou to take the book, and to open the 
 seals thereof : for thou wast slain, and 
 didst purchase unto God with thy blood 
 men of every tribe, and tongue, and 
 
 10 people, and nation, and madest them to 
 be unto our God a kingdom and priests ; 
 
 11 and they reign upon the earth. And I 
 saw, and I heard a voice of many angels 
 round about the throne and the living 
 
 saw underneath the altar the souls of 
 them that had been slain for the word 
 of God, and for the testimony which 
 10 they held : and they cried with a great 
 voice, saying, How long, 0 Master, the 
 holy and true, dost thou not judge and 
 avenge our blood on them that dwell 
 lion the earth? And there was given 
 them to each one a white robe ; and it 
 was said unto them, that they should 
 rest yet for a little time, until their 
 fellow- servants also and their brethren, 
 which should be killed even as they 
 were, should 9 be fulfilled.
